BZPower Battles

[ Unknown Planet, Pine Barrens: ]

Vi: *Keeps her pistol trained on Ravat's forehead*

Ravat: Look. This wasn't part of the original plan, but Nabonidus told me to give you guys a warning.

Namah: Sngrk. And what would that be? Since you've both got such a good track record of honesty.

Prudence: *Ears perk up as a few sparks crackle* ...He's not lying, this time.

Ravat: Damn straight I'm not. Partly due to Blackout's interference, partly due to all sorts of interference, there's been a breach into a new Universe...And two nasty warriors from that Universe are on their way here.

Namah: Oh, really. And why exactly are they headed for this planet?

Ravat: Simple. You lot are the closest concentration of this Universe's most powerful warriors.

Vi: ...Guys, let's head back for the ship. *Turns to leave*

Ravat: Yeah. I thought so. *Disappears into a shadowy portal behind himself*

*The rest follow Vi with great reluctance*

---

[ Unknown Planet, Wasteland: ]

*After sending Pitou ahead, the others stop to rest near a large rock formation*

Namah: Yeah, right...As if we can trust a word out of Ravat. No offense, Pru, but he's probably learned how to suppress his body's own reaction to lying.

Prudence: Well, that might be... *Ears angle downward slightly* ...Others have done that. But something seemed genuine.

Makoto: Ah, well. Nothing we can't handle. And even if they are strong, we've got a warning.

Vi: ...Makoto's right on that count. We'll easily be able to tell people of that strength coming a mile aw -

CM Zev: *Atop the rock formation behind them* Hi. *Throws arm forward*

Vi: *Narrowly dodges a miniature cyclone of dark red energy* Who are you? Are you from that other Universe Ravat mentioned!?

CM Zev: Heh. No.

*A chuckling can be heard as a figure calmly strolls around the rock formation*

CM Namah: Now, now, Zev. Don't be rude.

Makoto: Did she just call him Zev!?

CM Zev: Heh. No.

CM Namah: ...You can stop soon, Zev.

Namah: *Stares* Is she...Supposed to be me...?

CM Zev: Heh. No.

CM Namah: *Teeth clenched* Dammit, Zev, stop it.

CM Zev: Anyways. We're from a place that a few of you guys in this sh!tty Universe call the "Crimson Mirror Universe."

CM Namah: Though we encountered minor obstacles, we'll easily be able to complete our mission now.

CM Zev: Minor obstacles. Sngrk. What she means is, we wound up in prison, and she almost ended up some guy's -

CM Namah: DAMMIT Zev, SHUT UP.

CM Zev: ... *Whisper* ...Biiiiitch...

CM Namah: *Teeth clenched again* ...Goddammit, Zev...

*The other four just stare at the two*

Makoto: ...Wow. Just wow.

*They prepare to fight, nonetheless*

CM Zev: Hey Boss. Hey Namah. Namah. Boss. Namah. Namah.

CM Namah: Gah. What do you want, Zev?

CM Zev: Can I fight 'em? Can I? Can I?

CM Namah: *Chuckle* Go right ahead.

CM Zev: *Bares teeth* Yay.

*the lasers and bombs are suddenly blocked by a shield around the Visitor*

The Visitor: There's always a first time for everything.

*The Visitor and Uterio suddenly vanish in a flash of light*

*they reappear on a random moon*

The Visitor: Here, all your advantages are negated.

*the Visitor's eyes begin glowing, and epic music starts playing*

The Visitor: Now, let the battle begin. *charges towards Uterio*

[ Unknown Planet, Wasteland: ]

Vi: *Fires three rounds at CM Zev*

CM Zev: *Bullrushes straight through, swinging a hammer fist*

Vi: Urgh!! *Gets flung back, slamming into a boulder*

*The force of the impact shatters the boulder into pieces*

Namah: *Sends a pair of ether tendrils whipping for CM Zev's face*

Prudence: *Releases a huge blast of pure electrical energy*

Makoto: *Launches a swiftly-rotating orb of condensed, transparent energy*

CM Zev: *Easily grabs Namah's ether tendrils, causing them to dissolve away*

*He proceeds to open his mouth wide, creating another dark energy vortex above himself*

*Both Prudence and Makoto's attacks are sucked into the vortex without a sound*

CM Zev: My turn. *Dashes in, swinging his arm wildly once again*

Makoto: Aagh!! *Goes tumbling head-over-heels in the dirt*

*Next, CM Zev drives his knee directly into Prudence's gut*

Prudence: Kya - Agh...Gh...Gghh... *Falls over in a dead faint*

CM Zev: *Turns on Namah* Now it's time that you got yours, you little -

Namah: My turn!! *Holds both hands out towards CM Zev*

CM Zev: Oh. Okay. *Stops short and does nothing*

CM Namah: Zev!! What the hell are you doing!? Kill her!!

CM Zev: But it's her turn. I can't attack if it's her turn.

CM Namah: ... ... ...Are...You...Kidding...ME!!?

CM Zev: No. I'm sure her turn'll be ov - AAAAAGGGHHH!! *Clutches at face*

Namah: *Has sent an ether tendril spearing right between his eyes*

CM Zev: AAAAAGGGHHH!! IT HURTS!! HUUURRRRRTSSS!!

CM Namah: That's it...You've made a fool out of Zev...But I won't be nearly as easy to beat.

Namah: *Prepares another ether tendril, before - * AGH!!

*An incredibly fast movement has torn the shoulder off of her coat*

*Without warning, several more attack so swiftly that her coat is torn to shreds and her clothing underneath is torn in uncountable places as well*

CM Namah: Well? *Licks lips* Should I stop? You're starting to show a bit much skin...Heh. How fitting. I'll humiliate you just like they did me...

Namah: *Tears off the rest of her shirt's left sleeve* Try that again, bitch.

CM Namah: Hmph. Surprisingly tenacious. *Swings her hand towards Namah once again*

Namah: *Easily rolls to the side to avoid it, before sending an ether tendril whipping for CM Namah's head*

*It impacts solidly, but CM Namah is barely even jolted by the massive force*

*Yet even then, a cut on her temple sends blood streaming down the side of her face*

CM Namah: ... *Licks the blood off her cheek* ...Not bad. *Moves towards CM Zev*

CM Zev: *Is hunched over on the ground, clutching at his face* Uuugh...Grrrggghhh...Uff.

CM Namah: *Has kicked him so hard in the side that he completely passes out*

*She proceeds to lift him up easily, supported on her shoulder*

*With one last cold look at Namah, she speaks quietly*

CM Namah: ...At least you didn't lose her in this Universe.

*Easily leaping several meters in a single bound, she soon disappears*

Namah: ... *Leans against a rock, sliding down* ...Hff...Hff...Hff... *Looks around*

*All of the others are only just starting to wake up from unconsciousness*

Namah: ...Lilith...Z...Zev... *Falls unconscious*

~ ~ ~

OOS: Meh. Could've been better. I think.

The war with Uterio is up next.

...I think.

OOS: Funniest battle ever.

[ Same planet as CM Zev is on, nearby ]
[ Small house ]
JS: Ugh... where am I? Have I been captured.
Kinsler: We've got you. You're safe. We're nursing you back to;;!!!
*An ether tendril*
DU ZEV: :D

*Klak, D-Klak, Treveya, and Nadle leave out of the ship*

*The ship leaves to find a better place to land*

*the group sees Tahar'ok warning them*

*they run towards him*

Me: Oh my Hyperupgrad! I can't believe you're back!

*D-Klak glares at Tahar'ok*

DK: "I'm the Dark Mirror version of Klak. You can call me D-Klak."

Treveya: "You remember me! I'm Treveya!"

Nadle: "It is I, Nadle."

Me: What's going on?

---

*Uterio's eyes widen*

Uterio: "You will regret this day!"

*his huge sword begins to glow, and he charges at the Visitor*

---

*Set lifts a staff while standing on the building. Angonce is next to him*

Set: "Settle down! Uterio may have left. But he will return! This Visitor is only one of the many enemies we will face. For justice on this universe!!!"

*the armies repeat FOR JUSTICE, and begin cheering*

Set: *turns to Angonce* "My apologies, your excellency. Uterio has already told me of his next operations. We will continue with them until he returns. Besides, in the midst of the feast, we have taken some worlds under our control."

Angonce: "I applaud!"

*Meanwhile, in the crowd, Coro puts on a cowl, and begins to walk away*

Tahar'ok: How can I put it? I was dead, then I wasn't, then John Shepard used me, I broke free, acccidently summoned Naju, had a space battle and Turned the robot at the core of Side 8 evil.

User:TMV: Cool that sounds really cool.

Tahar'ok: Do I... Know you?

User:TMV: yes im a good friend of zevs and this fool klak is his enemy!

*User:TMV draws a sword*

User:TMV: banzai!

*Stabs klak*

The Visitor: I regret nothing. You, on the other hand, will regret the day you got in the way. *lifts battle axe and swings it at Uterio's arm*

-----

*somewhere, deep within the crowd, a second being walks away as well*

*he then vanishes, and reappears onboard Great Being TPK's ship*

TPK: Report.

Being: The Visitor has entered. Uterio is gone.

TPK: Excellent. All is going as planned. *turns to the helmsman* R-M-H-E-D.

*TPK's ship jumps to warp*

OOS: So, just to be clear, Ironclad was left in space, all alone?
Well, I'll just have them meet up later

----

*Rixika bows to her master and steps through the portal*

----
Ynot: Well, men, we have been ignored completely. How does that make you feel?

Sasuken: Like this Toa risked suffocation for nothing?

Blade: *Grasping throat* Rggggarl!

*Pulls him back into the ship*

Shaern: Makes me feel like you are pretending to be a Psychologist, and needs to be punched

All: AGREED!

Shaern: The Aye's have it, punch him.

*They all punch Ynot*

Ynot: Not cool. Anyway, let's see where our comrades went.

*Hails Zev on the com*

Ynot: Hey Raregroove, where you want me to head? Pretty sure we need to take care of Uterio, but I have no clue where he is. Or if there is something we need done first.
----

*A rumbling is heard beneath MakutaKlak*

----

[ Bebop II, Cockpit: ]

Zev: ...Yeeeaaah.

*Somehow, he's obviously exasperated, terrified, and incredibly pissed all at once*

Zev: ...You should head to our current coordinates. We've got a bit of a situation that we need to discuss before we head out to kick Uterio's @ss.

*He scratches at his head and angles his eyebrows upward in a very odd expression*

Zev: ...Things got weird. Again.


---

[ Bebop II, Infirmary: ]

Namah: *Lies in a separate quarter*

*Eyes screwed up, she begins to see a vision*

*All begins to warp away...*

---

[ Chamber of her Vision: ]

Namah: *Wakes up before a huge throne*

*A massive figure sits at the throne, unmoving*

???: Namaaah. Namaaah. Namaaah. Namaaah. Namaaah.

Namah: *Scowl* Yes, Guru Pjathkar? Why have you summoned me?

Pjathkar: The ones who attacked you will be shortly coming here...They will want the Grimoire...

Namah: I'm sorry about that. Do you expect me to stop them? I got my @ss handed to me. No way can I defeat them like this...And we've already got a war with Uterio.

Pjathkar: ...Every party needs a pooper and that's why you're inviiiteeeddd. Paaartyyy poooooper, paaartyyy poooooper, paaartyyy poooooper...

Namah: Are you going to serenade me this whole time? If so, please let me go back to my short-term coma.

Pjathkar: God. You are sooo moody. I know very well you'd get pathetically beaten again. But it's not because you're weak or they're strong. It's a bunch of fancy-pants inter-Universal physics that you don't want to be bothered with.

Namah: ... *Looks up to his shadow* So? Even then, how am I supposed to beat them? That just means I can't even get strong enough to beat them!

Pjathkar: La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la...

Namah: ... *Stares a few moments more* ...Are you finished, Wise One?

Pjathkar: I am if you're finished being a little whiner.

Namah: Touche. What's this you have to tell me?

Pjathkar: Kaleidoscope Sword, New Edition.

Namah: ...And what the hell is that?

Pjathkar: Ask Prudence when you're both awake. Goodbye. My favorite show's on.

Namah: You senile old geezer, you don't even have a TV.

Pjathkar: Neither do I like long goodbyes. Goodbye.

*The world begins to warp again*

---

[ Back in the Infirmary: ]

Namah: *Begins to stir*

*A groan escapes her as she starts to rise...*

Namah: ..."Guru" my pink @ss.

*Ynot logs Zev's current coordinates and turns to Xeno*

Ynot: So, ready to press the read button?

Xeno: Um...well dat Deepeends. ma Seestah sed she woold feeneesh someteen on eet, boot Aye be not shoore eef sh' deed

Cicero: You lazy twit, I told you not to worry about that.

Xeno: Dat, een no way, answers da questeeon.

Cicero: Yes, I did it, you little

Ynot: HEY! The question was, are we ready to go?

Cicero: Yes, we are.

Ynot: Good, Sasuken, PRESS THE RED BUTTON!

Sasuken: Pressing the red button, sir

*He presses the red button and everything goes topsey-turvey-like, resulting in the ironclad appearing right next to Zev, bu it looks like a giant stuffed rabbit and all of the passengers are stuffed versions of themselves*

Ynot: XENO!

Xeno: Press the blue button sir.

Ynot: Fine...

*Presses the Blue button, returning the Ironclad and it's passengers to it's original state*

[ Bebop II, Infirmary: ]

*Gathered there are Zev, Ynot, and Pitou*

*Meanwhile, Namah, Vi, Prudence, and Makoto are still in their hospital beds*

Zev: *Done with an exposition* ...So. They claim to be the Namah and...Myself of the "Crimson Mirror Universe."

Namah: And I have a...Source who has implied that we got beaten so easily because of some quirk in their migration from the "Crimson Mirror Universe" to our Universe. I was told that we could beat them with the "Kaleidoscope Sword, New Edition."

Prudence: But that's been lost ever since - *Claps hands over her mouth* ...Mmmmm...

Namah: ...Yup. I was even told to ask Prudence once she woke up. Care to elaborate, Pru?

Prudence: We~ll...Ya know the Five True Magics? The only true forms of Magic to still exist in some form as of the modern day and time?

*Most of everyone nods in some manner of understanding at this*

Prudence ...The Second Magic, often called "Zelrecht" for it's only living master...Revolves around the interaction with alternate Universes.

Namah: How does that tie in to this "Kaleidoscope Sword, New Edition?"

Prudence: ...The Second Magic's real name...Is Kaleidoscope.

Zev: Prudence...If I may ask...How exactly do you know so much about the Second Magic? Even I didn't know what it's original name was, other than it was only nicknamed Zelrecht...

*Abruptly, a decidedly dark and condescending voice speaks from the nearby window*

???: That's because she has been designated to inherit Kaleidoscope from Zelrecht himself.

*Everyone turns to look; they see a being with a body consisting of a simple, golden sarcophagus floating in the air, the only noticeable feature being the face - A black void, with a wide, sharptoothed grin and glowing scarlet eyes that have dark crimson slit pupils. As well, two crossed arms on the front hold what look like a scythe and an ankh*

???: Hiii. *Glances directly at Zev*

Zev: *Shakes violently* It's...It's...You...!! GYAAAAAH!!

*He scrambles way, falling to the floor and trying to escape on all fours*

*Yet the immense fear that Zev feels renders him only capable of flailing aimlessly in terror*

Zev: NOOOOO!! NO NO NO NO NO!! GET HIM AWAY FROM ME I'M SCARED HE'S EVIL EVIL EVIIILLL!!

???: It's so good to see you remember me, maggot. Though I'm sure Jubei didn't get this treatment.

Namah: ...Who exactly are you? And why is Zev having a fit over you being here?

???: My name's Atem. I'm one of his former masters. Very early on.

Zev: *Has collapsed into a quivering wreck on the floor*

*Awkward silence reigns for a while*

~ ~ ~

OOS: Will expand later.

Storm.

[ Kinsler, Branley and JS are in a space-car, travelling towards Side 8 ]

JS: Travelling towards a military base in an unarmoured car? I have you admit, you have some nerve.

Branley: [South African Accent] It's not Unarmoured. It's very powerful.

Kinsler: Haha, Yes, Branley.

JS: Why did you save me [Looks at his new cybernetic body] And why this?

Kinsler: Because, Shepard, What you do here today will be remembered for generations.

JS: Funny how everyone else seems to know my future...

Kinsler: Indeed. Branley...

Drive.

[Car enters warp]

[ Side 8: ]

*An alarm can be heard around the campus and Zion guards jump out of small hiding places in between the walls*

Trantoshen: So, you know what's going on now?

Muta: Yes. The map gave me everything we need to know.

Trantoshen: So are these guys enemies?

Muta: You bet.

*Muta picks up two of them with telekinesis, smashes them into each other, and then throws them into some of the others, while Trantoshen burns one with flames*

--------------------

[ Unknown location: ]

Vorahk-Kah: Agh... what happened?

*He looks around. He appears to be in a room with no doors or windows. There is nothing there but a portal in front of him, which is strangely glowing red and black and shaking*

V-K: What... have we here?

*Suddenly but slowly, a figure emerges who looks like this: https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img221/3331/img0501zutay.jpg]This

*The figure looks around*

???: At last... I have arrived.

*He turns to V-K, who is a bit smaller than him*

???: Vorahk-Kah?!

V-K: Who the hell are yo-

???: I am Kakamu. And you, and everyone else in this universe, must die.

*In the space of a second, he takes his blades off his thighs and stabs them straight through V-K's abdomen, making sparks fly*

V-K: Agh... how?

DMKm: We shall rise. We shall rule.

*He takes them out, and V-K collapses*

*On the floor, V-K looks up at him*

V-K: I... am... Vorahk-Kah! I shall... conquer all...

DMKm: Too late.

*He stamps on V-K's head, crushing it*

DMKm: Ah... glorious.

*He puts his blades back into his thigh holsters, takes out what looks like a remote control for a TV, and aims and presses it at the portal. It turns blue*

DMKm: Take me where I need to go.

*He steps inside, and the portal vanishes*

[ As Muta and Co are attacked by Zion guards, The Guards are shot down ]

[ Muta and Co look up, to see branley's car hovering over the campus, and JS leaning out the window with a P90]

JS: [ Jumps out window, rolling, then lands in front of muta ] [ delivers a Kick to Muta's neck, then sprays towards Trantoshen with his P90, Forcing him back into cover ]

Me: *pulls the stake out, and repels User:TMV into the wall* I've been Zev's friend for longer than you can comprehend, being. You don't even deserve the title of User.

DK: "Naju's alive? This is not good."

Nadle: "Hmm....not at all. But we can defeat a Great Being with ease."

---

*Uterio blocks the axe with his sword*

Uterio: "Interfered?"

---

*MakutaKlak looks around*

MK: What's going on?

OOS: Hope I'm not missing anyone.

Ta'harok: [ Looks at User:TMV ] You're no longer welcome here. Leave.

[ Suddenly, Side 8 Starts Rumbling ]

Ta'harok: Uh oh... Not good...

[ Core of Side 8 ]

[ The massive supercomputer that is Advanced DAL comes back online ]

DAL: Corrupted Core detected. Preparing to Neau.... [Fades out]

On the central screen, DAL's image fades off.. To be replaced by that of Uterio?

New DAL: New order received. Move Side 8 To Uterio's location/

[ Side 8 Starts moving ]

Ta'harok: No! DAL is back online, and Someone's hacked it, which means...

[ Suddenly, Side 8 Starts transforming ]



Ta'harok: Dear god. [Suddenly picks up radio transmission] Hello?

Naju: Ta'harok, This is Naju. We've got to take this thing down... We can put aside our differences for this! It is absolutely essential!

Ta'harok: [Sighs] Roger. NOVA Mode!

[ Ta'harok's body glows red with Gamma particles, as he flies towards the head of the Giant Side 8 Robot ]

[ Many Automated robots fly out to engage ]

[ Ta'harok takes out out with a sword, then shoots another ]

Ta'harok: A little Help, Guys?

Naju: Roger. All cruisers, Fire at will!

[Suddenly, A Massive fleet de-cloaks and starts shooting the robots and the Side 8 Giant ]

[The Side 8 giant fires lasers out of it's eyes, shooting down some of the ships ]

Ta'harok: This thing is so big... it never ends!

[ The battle continues, with the Side 8 Giant moving closer to Uterio's location, and the characters still stuck on it ]

[ Side 8 Giant's Location: ]

*A figure hovers unaided in space, watching*

???: *Gives a wide grin* Heh. I do love dinner and a show. *Takes a bite out of an entire roasted hamhock*

??? 2: *Appears in a flicker* Master Zev. Shall I upload the HAIL/2/U.gone virus?

Zev...?: No need, darling. Just start my new themesong. *Dismisses the leg of ham*

??? 2: Right-o! *Begins typing on...Those familiar white metal panels...!?*

Cue The Music

Zev?: *Abruptly appears near Ta'harok, the music still playing*

*He has pale skin and an effeminate, bishonen face with three pink diamonds in a horizontal row above his left eye. His straight, jawlength black hair is done in a straightcut, and some kind of magenta crystal structure is rested on his brow; meanwhile, he has an openly condescending smile with half-lidded, indigo eyes*

*As for his wardrobe, he wears a sleeveless and backless black bodysuit that ends all the way down to a pair of boots, but with large vents going from just below his ribs to the midpoint of either hip; finally, he has a magenta sash tied around his waist and an indigo sash tied around his chest from the right shoulder to the left hip*

???: Hello. I'm Zev - The New Edition. But you can call me User Zev. Am I interrupting your bloody death? I'm sorry if I am.

*He continues smiling, not at all caring about the gigantic robot looming above/below him*

User Zev: I believe you're...You're...Hm. Sorry. What's your name again? I forgot.

*Leaning back, he folds his hands behind his head while levitating*

OOS: Klak ya missed Rixika

*The Ground in front MK collapses, revealing MY's Racer*

MY: Need a lift?

----

Ynot: So we have another Universe of ourselves to deal with, again. Are they all out to get there original selves like the Shattered mirror ones?

*MakutaKlak looks down at MY*

MK: What took you?!

---

*Nadle Looks at User Zev*

Nadle: "Yet another User."

*D-Klak laughs, and takes out his hook blades*

*he charges at the New Advanced DAL, and slices at his face*

Me: Uterio, you slime ball!!

*Uses Gravity, attempting to crush the DAL*

*Treveya summons a ball of shadow, which grows*

---

*F-Klak begins cackling*

FK: "The past is so fun to torment."

OOS: The Shima brothers are Zev's.

OOS: GODDAMMIT JS

*a random asteroid suddenly crashes into the Side 8 Giant*

*more quickly follow*

-----

The Visitor: Call it whatever you like. *suddenly draws a sword and stabs Uterio in the chest*

-----

MC: Rraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! *starts chasing after MK and MY*

OOS: If I missed anyone, let me know.

OOS: GODDAMMIT NAPPA!!

~ ~ ~

[ Bebop II, Hangar: ]

*Hunched over a couple of small, handheld devices, Mamimi and Ed stare down intently*

Ryoko: ... *Hovers over to them* Hey, girls. What're you two up to?

Mamimi: We're trading Pokemon. *Goes silent once again*

Ryoko: *Stares at the two, tapping her foot quietly*

Mamimi: ... *Speaks again* Hold on a second.

Ryoko: ... *Sighs heavily* Fine, fine. I'll wait.

Ed: Eheheheh. *Kicks her feet slightly*

~ ~ ~

OOS: I might add more onto this.

Dunno. DX>

[ Suddenly, The Side 8 Giant's Chest slides open, And a giant, Metallic barrel extends from it ]

[ Suddenly, At his location, Uterio hears a voice inside his mind ]

Voice: Buster cannon ready to fire. Name targets for immediate destruction.

[ Back in space battle ]

Ta'harok: My Name is Ta'harok, But that is not important - *Shoots down an automated guard * - What is important is that you do not touch me, Raregroove. As A Ta'Har is have a Mild Resistance to the RX particles covering my body but you, My friend, Do not.

[ Ta'harok unleashes a beam of pure RX energy at the Side 8 Giant, momentarily stunning it ]

[Naju's ship]

Naju: Damn. Asteroids? didn't see that one coming.

[ The fleet continue to assault the Side 8 Giant, to no real effect ]

[ Suddenly, one of the ships breaks formation ]

Naju: Captain? what are you doing?

Captain: This isn't death! This is a sacrifice to protect my family!

[ The run-away ship flies straight down the Barrel of the Side 8 Giant's gun, Exploding inside ]

[Advanced DAL's location]

[The attacks have no visible effect... until]

[The casing cracks open, revealing a young girl sitting in a chair, Frozen, with multiple pipes leading in and out of her head. The horrible truth is realized: this supercomputer only used the programming of the original Advanced DAL, but it's memory was an actual human brain]

[The pipes fall out, and the girl stands up]



Girl: You have disturbed the masterpiece that is master Uterio's plan. It is his wish that you are deleted.

*Suddenly, the girl screams, clutching her head in pain, and a new voice steps in, sounding more natural*

Other voice: No! You.. Don't control me! Get... Out of my mind!! AAAAAAAAH!

*The original voice resumes*

Girl: Resistance will not be looked upon kindly~!

* She runs at them with two knives drawn *

*Muta stumbles backwards, but regains his balance and punches Kinsler into a Zion guard. He then lifts up the car with telekinesis and throws it away*

Trantoshen: Where are we, Muta?

Muta: Side 8.

*Suddenly, a bluey-red portal opens in front of them and lingers there*

[ Ta'harok swiftly cuts up the robotic guards like butter, but for every one he destroys, two more spawn from the Side 8 Giant ]

Ta'harok: Grr... They're too fast! I can't keep this up for much longer!

[ Bebop II, Infirmary: ]

Zev: *Has finally begun to calm down*

Prudence & Vi: *After successfully getting out of their beds, look to Atem*

Namah & Makoto: *Look to the strange beings as well, yet from their places still laid down*

Atem: Anyways, maggots. I can help you retrieve the Kaleidoscope Sword, New Edition. It was left in my care by Zelrecht.

Prudence: *Glare* Really, now? Because it so happens that it was stolen from Master Zelrecht and never retrieved several years ago.

Atem: A woman who doesn't know any better, what a surprise.

Zev: *Sigh* Can't you just bring the sword to us, then? Why come here to only tell us you have it if you didn't bring it?

Atem: A woman who doesn't know any better, what a surprise.

Zev: *Huff* Dammit. Walked right into that one...

Atem: Yes you did, maggot. Now all of you listen up. Zelrecht needed the Kaleidoscope Sword, New Edition to be hidden somewhere even he wouldn't know the location of, and he needed it to look like a theft. So, he was told someone would be staging an elaborate theft. Elaborate, because I stole it exactly as he was being informed of it.

Prudence: *Still glaring* So? That doesn't explain why you couldn't bring it to us now.

Atem: Because it's sealed itself over the centuries without Zelrecht's presence. Only a user of the Second Magic can awaken it - And even a cursory knowledge of the Second Magic would do to unlocks its power again.

*Somehow, his toothy grin widens even further and becomes yet more malicious*

Atem: Guess~ what~ that~ means~~~? *Eyes glow slightly brighter*

*Everyone turns to stare at Prudence, who is suddenly feeling very alone*

Prudence: ... *Pout* Aw, demmit.

--- --- ---

[ Side 8 Giant: ]

User Zev: 47...32...92...102...143...

*He suddenly chuckles, gazing calmly at the mystery girl*

User Zev: Oh, so sorry, don't mind me. I've just encountered so many touching yet ultimately meaningless speeches that I like to keep a list of recurring lines.

*Smirk widening, he continues levitating in place on his back*

User Zev: ...And I'm not exactly "Zev Raregroove"...It's rather complicated.

*Mouth wide open in a yawn, he starts to fall asleep*

User Zev: ...Don't mind me. Go on, please.

[ Ryuten, Hidden Chamber: ]

*The two remaining Shima Brothers and their master stand near the center*

Yume: *Has donned a set of clothes* I understand it takes a long time to suppress a Royal Tree's sentience, especially a Second-Generation Tree like Bizen here, but that doesn't explain what took so long to steal the Jurai Book of Secrets. We had an inside man, did we not?

*In regards to her new outfit, the main component is a rather sophisticated azure-blue robe with golden lining, hanging down to her ankles but exposing her legs from mid-thigh down. On her robe's shoulders are two small white pads lined golden at the edges, and the long sleeves of a pale blue shirt emerge from underneath*

*Secured around her upper-waist are two adjoined, light gray belts that curve downward in the front, and are joined at the fused ends by two circular silver clasps. At the upper-two corners of her main robe are two red gems shaped as upside-down triangles, and at her collar is a vertical, ovalloid, lime green gem. Both of her ears possess spherical orange accessories hanging close below. Finally, mounted horizontally across her upper back is a peculiar katana in its red sheath wrapped with many sections of white cloth*

Hishima: I apologize, Master Yume...The Book of Secrets had been moved to a new location. But I must ask...Was it absolutely necessary to merge with the tree?

Yume: ...Hmph. *Abruptly moves in a flickering burst of speed*

Hishima: ...!! *Easily dodges her fist, leaping back a few meters* ...

Takashima: Glah!? *Looks back and forth between his older brother and their master*

Yume: *Thinking* So, he did let me hit him last time... *Huffs angrily* You go too far, Hishima...

*She turns to gaze up at the tree, a neutral expression on her face*

Yume: I couldn't just immediately suppress our friend Bizen...Tsunami-no-Ki would easily notice that one of her descendants had faded. So, I had to use my own will to keep her from realizing that Bizen had become dormant. It's not like there was ever a doubt that you lot would finish the job, in any case.

Hishima: *Gives a start* Master Yume...You really had that much faith in us...!?

*BONK*

*The pint-sized genius has swiftly removed the katana from her back and slammed its sheathed blade into Hishima's skull*

*As the red-robed figure tumbles forward, Yume cackles loudly*

Yume: Imbecile! It's not faith in you! No creation of mine could fail at such a task! Please don't delude yourself like that in the future.

*Gaze turned up at the massive tree, a smirk begins to grow*

Yume: ...You know what, Hishima? I'm feeling good, right now. So good, as a matter of fact, that I think I'll allow this litte grudge match you seem set on.

Hishima: *Trembles* You...You truly mean it, Master Yume...!?

Yume: Don't make me repeat myself. Continue with our preparations!

Hishima: *Nods* Yes, Master Yume! *Rushes to a bank of consoles*

Takashima: Glagh!! *Follows after his older brother post-haste*

Hishima: *Thinking* ...You shall be avenged, Mushima.

*His eyes narrow dangerously as he gets to work*

Hishima: *Still thinking* I swear it.

*The Mystery girl quickly turns, missing Klak, but hitting User: Zev in the neck with her twin knives*

*In a splash of Red blood, User: Zev falls backwards, and the Girl jumps on to him, her outfit stained with blood*

*Nailing him to the ground via a Knife through each hand, She was just about to bite into his neck, when her second personality took Over*

Other Voice: Argghhhh! Please... please... Kill me.... *crying*

[ Side 8 Giant: ]

User Zev: And there's #17.

*An immense shockwave sends her flipping away from him*

User Zev: *Hovers into an upright possession* Heh. *The knives in his hands begin dissolving*

*Collapsed into a misty base matter, they disappear into his body*

*Both the injuries on his neck and on his hands quickly heal*

User Zev: Would you like another try, little girl?

*He chuckles condescendingly*

[ The girl looks on in horror ]

Girl: Kill me! Please *A torrent of tears soaks her face* before the other one comes back!

[ Side 8 Giant: ]

User Zev: Sorry, but no.

*He floats closer, popping his knuckles*

User Zev: ...I'm not going to kill you...That would be too obvious.

???: *A crimson shadow nearby* Too fun's more like it.

User Zev: Quiet, you. *Looms over the mystery girl* ...I'm going to help you...Heheheh...

Girl: ... *Stares up at him* ...I need an adult...

User Zev: *Claps his hand atop her head* I am an adult!!

*The mystery girl immediately feels his consciousness rippling up and down her body*

User Zev: Hmmm. Oooh. I'd almost forgotten what a vulnerable young girl feels like inside.

Shadow Nearby: Heheheheheheheheh...

User Zev: ...Kekekekekekekekekeke...

Shadow: Hahahahahahahahah!

User Zev: Kekekekekekekeke!

Shadow: Hahahahahahahahahaaah!!

User Zev: Kekekekekeke!! Yes, it is rather funny, isn't it?

*When he removes his hand from the girl's head, she feels her own mind and the other consciousness equally balanced*

User Zev: The rest is up to you from here. You can recover, or backslide again. I don't really care.

*He, the female silhouette far "above," and the bloodred shadow disappear*

User Zev: ...Heheheh. Yes, that was funny.

*Rixika appears in the Midst of the remaining Shima Brothers*

Rixika: Hello, I have been instructed to aide you by Master Klak. How may I be of service?

---
MY: Took a wrong turn at this CRAZY town called Albuquerque. You should go there sometime. Now get in, we have a Universe to reclaim.

---
Ynot: Sounds like you guys got this in hand, so I am gong to go and blow the crap out of something, alright?

OOS: Zev, WAY to many DBZA references

[ The Girl stands up ]

Feldt: Hmm.

[ Suddenly, The Side 8 Giant begins shaking, and falling apart ]

Feldt: I can't leave this room... Not without a body. But... I can destroy this place. [ Turns to Klak and Co ]

Feldt: Leave this place. You have full lives ahead of you.

[Feldt sits back down in the DAL command chair]

Feldt: [To Self] Thankyou, Zev. I will never forget this. [ Begins chuckling, As the Side 8 Giant begins self-destructing ]

[ Outside ]

Naju: That's it! It's going down! It's going down!

[ Ryuten, Hidden Chamber: ]

Yume: Hmph...

*She idly gestures towards Rixika*

*A number of small drones swoop in around her, training small blasters on her*

Yume: Something tells me those wouldn't be enough...Whatever. Just don't interfere with my designs.

Hishima: Master Yume! We are nearing complete power!

Yume: Excellent. *Goes over to her own console* Let's see here...

*Her eyes flicker between the numerous complicated status diagrams and numbers*

*Fingers dancing across the keys, she periodically yells orders to Hishima and Takashima*

Yume: Takashima! Boost the output to transformers 1A through 1C, 2A through 2C, and 4B through 4E!

Takashima: Glah! *His massive, bulky hands are surprisingly nimble at typing*

Yume: Hishima! Set up a filing program for the theta rhythm and mu rhythm diagnostics!

Hishima: Yes, Master Yume! *Immediately gets to work*

Yume: *Smirks over her shoulder at Rixika* Heheheh...Consider yourself lucky.

*She taps one last key, before turning and walking over to Rixika; the numerous drones back off slightly*

Yume: You've got a front-row seat for one hell of a show...After all, my dear! It's not every day that a party of three takes on what may be the very farthest-reaching empire to still reign in the Universe, after so many eras and aeons have passed before them!!

*Cackles of glee escape her as she gazes up at the Royal Tree, apparently named "Bizen" from what she's said*

Yume: ...Heheheh. But it won't be right away. I'm not the kind of fool to set upon a lofty goal without considering all of the means necessary. We'll have to use stealth at first...Yet soon, all shall fear my name!!

*She turns away, walking briskly back to the console with a wide smirk on her face*

Yume: That's right! Soon, everyone shall fear the Greatest Scientific Mind in the Universe!!

*Her eyes are practically lit up with unbridled excitement*

*Immediately, she gets back to work*

~ ~ ~

OOS: Awwwh! I didn't want her to die, Vulpes!

I wanted to see more of her!

Hmph. /pout

Zev: New Edition wrote:I wanted to see more of her!

OOS: Please tell me that doesn't mean what I think it means.

Waiting on Klak.....

OOS: Good thing then, Zev, That she's not going to die. Not quite yet, Atleast.

*Uterio grabs the sword, and removes it from his chest*

*He begins gasping for air, and looks at the Visitor*

Uterio: "Explain yourself."

---

MK: I hear ya!

*hops into MakutaYnot's Rider*

MK: Step on it! I made some new friends!

---

*Abneris's ship flies over Klak and co.*

*D-Klak, Treveya, and Nadle leap into the entrance*

Me: You coming with us, Tahar'ok? We need to talk. You can come as well, User Zev.

---

*Treskis, Keichi, Quick Billy, and SM Treveya are in a space station orbiting a certain planet*

*they are sitting in front of a large table*

*surrounding the table are several other Liquid Metallicon Pirate lords and their crew members*

*About 20 of the people in the room are Pirate Lords, while the rest are important crew members. They number about 100*

Treskis: "Hello everyone-des. Let's get down to business-des. As you have all heard, Uterio and the Great Beings have declared war on our universe-des. That means that most of our properties throughout the cosmos are threatened....Unless we fall under his favor-des."

*they all begin to whisper*

Keichi: "It's a simple parley that I'm sure all of you scumbags would have done. We save our own skins by pledging to fight for Uterio, and he will pay us with riches."

???: "*cockney accent* Whut kind of riches, eh?"

Keichi: "Land. Gold. Weapons. He's powerful and resourceful! Our black market will boom in business, and we'll have everything we've ever dreamed of!"

QB: "Besides the fact that he won't kill us."

SMT: "Which I think is the best benefit of all."

Treskis: "So, what do the Pirate Lords decide-des?"

???2: "*American accent* I don't know. We haven't been unified like this for decades, almost a century."

???: "*cockney* I agree with Treskis! It's a fair deal."

Keichi: "All in favor, say aye!"

*All of the room yells aye, save for the Pirate Lord with an American accent*

Treskis: "Pirate Lord Aqar, what is the problem, des?"

Aqar: "I don't trust any of you."

Keichi: "Neither do I, but I came up with the damn idea, didn't I?!!"

*takes out a pistol, and points it at Aqar*

*all of the crew members and Pirates take out weapons, and point it at him as well*

Aqar: "Fine! Fine! How do we contact him?"

Keichi: "I know just how to announce our allegiance..."

OOS: Hope I'm not missing anyone.

*MYs Rider hits a ramp amd converts to a minjet*

MY: Hold on to your butts...

*The rider rockets into the sky, taking flight*
---
Namine: I once met a man who claimed the inverse of you. That one day all would praise his name.

[ Ta'harok looks around the collapsing Side 8 Giant ]

[ Suddenly, He spots Feldt, unconscious, laying in the DAL Control chair ]

[ Flying as fast as humanly possible, Ta'harok flies to her, and gently picks her up in his arms, before flying back into Abneris's ship ]

Ta'harok: Sure. As long as I get to bring her.

OOS: Lol, Ynot, my American cousins live in Albuquerque. NO JOKE. Also, if you have time do you wanna help out User:KoN? He's aboard the ZFT ship.

*DUKm walks out of the portal and looks around*

[ Bebop II, Infirmary: ]

*Pitou, Xanxus, and Fran have wondered in*

*Thus, without any due warning...This happens: *

Barbara Ann

*After that's over, most of everyone just collapsess laughing*

Prudence: *Giggle* *Giggle* Well...At least now I can go on that coffin-freak's errand with a song in my heart.

Namah: *Can't help but have a little smile on her face* ... *Lies back in bed*

Zev: ...I'm a hot night flier and a rainbow rider! A straight-shootin' son of a gun!

Xanxus: Heh. Save it for later, Raregroove. *Takes a swing from his flask*

*Without warning, a certain someone dashes in and does a frontflip to land back-first on Namah's infirmary bed*

Ed: Bahama Namah~! Naptime is so sublime~ Eheheheheheh! *Crawls up to snuggle in with Namah*

Namah: ...Heh. *Gently pulls Ed closer to herself*

Makoto: Hee hee. What am I, chopped liver?

Ed: *Snuggling Namah*

The Visitor: I am the Visitor. I need not explain myself to my victims. *kicks Uterio in the face repeatedly*

-----

MC: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!! *walks out of the room and towards User:KoN's location*

-----

*TPK's ship arrives in orbit of a Great Being-controlled planet*

*it fires two blue glowing orbs at the planet*

*the orbs hit the surface and cause explosions that can be seen from space*

*TPK's ship leaves*

OOS: War begins.....

[ Bepop II ]

[ Suddenly, Namah feels a rumble in her tummy ]

[ Without warning, her last dinner comes out; it has the appearance of a cat-like creature ]

Namah: Not the worst thing that could've come out.

OOS: I sense a flame war and an MF.

User: KoN: What the heck is that?!

---------

*DUKm looks up at the collapsing Side 8 giant*

DUKm: What monstrosity is this?

*He unsheathes his blades and, stabbing them into its leg, starts climbing up*

OOS: Seeing as his ship is not underground, I had to get Air born first, am on my way now
Also, the reason for the ref of Albuquerque was for Bugs Bunny, as he frequently 'took a wrong turn at Albuquerque'
And Lastly, Zev, in response to your PM, Namine is also Rixika.
She switches names periodically.

*A large hole appears next User:KoN, MY's Rider in the middle of it*

MY: Em Kay, for the LAST TIME, THE PINK BUTTON WILL NOT GIVE YOU A MILKSHAKE! Oh, Hey User Kon, here to pick you up, hop in.

----
Ynot: No objections, good, I'm going to track down my User and see what he has to say on the subject of this war.

*Opens a portal and re boards the Ironclad*

Ynot: Alright men, Search for Blackout. He may not be directly behind this, but I'm sure he has information we can use.

*Presses the red button*

*KoN fails to hop in as he is tied to a chair*

Man KoN cannot see: Guards!

*guards take out machine guns and start shooting at MY*

*the mysterious creature shape-shifts into a dragon and starts breathing fire at MY*

-----

*David Robert Jones looks at his watch, which he did not have a minute ago*

David Robert Jones: We have a perimeter breach.

Blackout: Irrelevant. I have received confirmation. Phase Two has begun.

David Robert Jones: Then we leave.

*a ship appears in front of DRJ and Blackout, and they board it*

*the ship flies off*

OOS: Waiting on Klak (who should post soon).

[ Suddenly ]

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm~!

[ The Side 8 giant explodes in a Nova of blinding light, sending everyone flying off ]

[ Meanwhile, Deep space ]

[ A Man is sitting in his armchair, in a Victorian-style house. wearing posh, formal clothes and smoking a pipe, he takes a relaxing breath, then breathes out a wad of tobacco smoke ]

Jeremiah: So, The first part of my plan is concluded. Onto stage two.

[ A woman walks in: in contrast to Jeremiah, she is wearing a lot of black, tight-fitting leather and has a frankly epic butt ]

Sarah: Don't be so sure. There's still a lot of things that could go wrong.

Jeremiah: Yes, yes, But such is the nature of this ever changing universe...

[ Bebop II, Infirmary: ]

Zev: ...Not that I'm complaining...

*He glances over at the clear window*

Zev: ...But did anyone else notice how Atem disappeared?

Namah: Most of us noticed. We just didn't bring it up because none of the rest of us wanted to be the first to mention it.

Ed: *Has fallen asleep, occasionally kicking her foot lightly but not waking up*

Makoto: *Deciding to take a nap, as well, is currently snoring in peace*

Vi: ... *Looks to Prudence* ...Alright. I think you should explain more about the Second Magic and this sword we're looking for.

Prudence: ...Alright. Well, the Second Magic Kaleidoscope is one of the only five True Magics still in existence today. As I said, it revolves around the interaction with parallel Universes and the natural rhythm of space-time.

Prudence: The Second Magic's only living master, Zelrecht, has such a profound and dynamic control over it that most know it after his name instead of Kaleidoscope. He created a number of tools based on its principles...Including the Kaleidoscope Sword, and more pertinent to this situation, Kaleidoscope Sword: New Edition.

Prudence: With the enhanced model of the Kaleidoscope Sword, one can go beyond the original's main power of refracting small amounts of energy from parallel Universes for incredible results. It has an ability which could easily level the playing field with those from the Crimson Mirror Universe...Though as far as efficiency and dynamics goes, this particular technique is little more than a prototype of a prototype.

Prudence: It can interrupt the wavelength between certain Universes, either to enhance or negate the effects completely. This means that, whatever is causing them to be so strong in this Universe, the Kaleidoscope Sword: New Edition can annul whatever kind of space-time interference causing it.

Prudence: Should it accept a powerful enough wielder, and should the Interference Nullifcation function be perfected, then with enough training, we'd be able to at least hold our own against the likes of them. *Pauses to inhale* ...In theory.

*Ears folded down with a bit of shyness, she gazes around the room*

Prudence: ...Aaaaand thassit. *Nods slowly, more to herself*

*She quietly awaits anybody to say something*

--- --- ---

[ Somewhere in Space: ]

*The crimson-red ship is still in flight*

CM Zev: ...Are we there yet?

CM Namah: NOOOOO!!

CM Zev: Are we there yet?

CM Namah: NOOOOO!! NOOO, NOOO, NOOOOOOOOOO!!

*For a few moments, all is silent except for CM Namah's seething breaths of rage*

CM Namah: ... ... ...No Zev, we are not there yet. Just be quiet.

CM Zev: 'Kay. *Goes totally silent, in an almost eery fashion*

CM Namah: ... *Taps on the wall, creating a transparent section to view out of* ...

*She gazes out at a single craft whilst hers and CM Zev's ship pass on by*

*The other craft happens to be Abneris's ship*

--- --- ---

[ Ryuten, Hidden Chamber: ]

Yume: ... *Gazes to Rixika* ...

*Expression blank, she doesn't speak for a good long while*

Yume: ...I've done plenty of things worthy of praise. All I ever got out of it was a demeaning title - "Yume, that Silver Medallist." I'd say I now have the prerogative to garner fear if none of those pompous fools see me worthy of admiration.

*Abruptly, the entire sanctum rocks and bucks violently - Causing Yume to give a wide, fairly malignant, but predominately euphoric grin*

*In an even more chaotic rumbling and shaking, the floor begins to rise up in several meters around the central tree*

Yume: Yes!! Bizen's power is finally being unlocked!! Weigh anchor!!

Hishima: Master Yume, I'm afraid we don't have such a thing...

Yume: Figure something out. I'm not feeling picky.

Hishima: ... *Sigh* As you wish, Master Yume.

Yume: *Stares up at the Royal Tree Bizen*

*Meanwhile, the floor rises ever higher*

User: KoN: Ynot! It's about time someone showed up!

*User:KoN, still with his arms and legs tied to the chair, waddles over to the hole and jumps in MY's rider amid the exhanging fire*

User: KoN: Drive!

*It speeds off*

-------------------------

*DUKm reaches the top of the giant*

DUKm: Now fall, beast!

*He stabs his blades into its neck*

*Abneris drives away*

Me: Welcome aboard, Tahar'ok.

Nadle: "Let us explain... a warlord named Uterio Di Armechio has been able to convince his superiors, the Great Beings, to declare war on the entire multiverse. Bear in mind that these are some of the most powerful people here, and they have resources. He has an army larger than you could ever imagine...and he is gaining allies. We need people to help us fight back and save whatever good is left in the universe."

DK: "Which is why Klak came all this way to find you."

---

*Uterio blocks the last kick, and jumps back*

Uterio: "Quite interesting....." *shoots Visitor in the face with plasma*

---

*The defenses on the planet go crazy*

*the places affected by the nuke slowly begin to die*

*Ships surround TPK and begin firing*

---

MK: DARN IT! WHY NOT! *pauses, and chuckles* PINK IS THE COLOR YOU ASSOCIATE WITH MILKSHAKES!!! ALRIGHT! WHAT IS THE MILKSHAKE BUTTO-Hi User Kon!

---

*F-Klak's shadow appears in front of Yume*

FK: "In my time....you are one of the greatest minds in the universe. Do not think that I would send someone from the future to simply pester you."

OOS: Hope I ain't missin' no one.

*the mysterious creature goes after MY's rider*

-----

*the plasma sets fire to the Visitor's helmet*

The Visitor: I fail to see what is interesting. *fires beams of energy at Uterio's face*

-----

*ships do NOT surround TPK and start firing because he left right after the nukes exploded*

(OOS: Miserable Failure!)

*his ship arrives in a random uninhabited solar system and sends a transmission to Angonce*

TPK: Greetings, Angonce. I trust that by now you are aware that Blackout has returned, ZFT has summoned the Visitor, and that Uterio is now MIA. I choose to add to that heap of bad news by declaring war on you.

Angonce: What?

TPK: You cannot be allowed to wage war on the multiverse. The Great Beings are a great civilization: I cannot allow it to be devastated! You are being used to further a madman's agenda, and I will not stand for it! If stopping this means allying myself with Blackout and David Robert Jones, then so be it. If stopping this means allying myself with Lucifer himself, then so be it. Whatever it takes, however long it takes, I will stop you. End transmission.

*end transmission*
