Infinite Justice: Beyond (Marvel,DC,DBZ X/Over, IC, Open)

[Charmera]

Liberty groaned and found the binds, but found it hard as her weapon was tangled. She also found her feet and legs tangled, and groaned in frustration. Again she squirmed, but it only served to frustrate her. But then she had an idea. Suddenly a multitude of small knives popped out of nowhere and began to cut the wires, severing them completely. Of course she didn't have time to free the blade, so she just made two new ones. Using dual wield to her advantage, she pressed the attack. With sudden ferocity, she charged forward, attacking her foe. Though at the last minute she also created a Buckler of force, so she could block in close combat.

Battle! Vs. Liberty!

Ooh no. You're not pulling the same trick twice, Liberty! Close combat is not preferred in this battle. I could fight at that range, but so far, I haven't seen her long range options. And we have to test the waters! Go in slower at first before brutally pounding onto the foe! As soon as I noticed the strings being cut off, I made a one-handed energy shield on my left arm, and this will work as the counter ploy. Okay, now wait... let her come at you...

And BAM! The shield and the sword collided with a painful screeching sound. Slow down... I let go of the handles and moved back a hundred feet. That's far enough, but she's still going to come. I charged up heavy amounts of energy in my hands and then unleashed a homing barrage of fast-speed energy blasts. With so much energy being put into the attack, I think every single one of the blast could destroy a planet, or at least a large satellite like Earth's Moon. That's why I made it homing - if even a single one touches the ground - game over.

Liberty cried out in pain as she was hit by a whole bunch of planet busting attacks. But then she regained her balance and her body had started healing. Dents and damage to her body was quickly healed as the nano bots repaired her. She frowned, a little angry with the attack. It took her a little bit of time to recover before she sent out a counter attack.

She sent out a single ball of force this time, but now she was throwing it into the air and batting it down with an incredible amount of force, and she added on an acceleration with her powers and was able to guide the ball to it's target. It now had the force to blow up several planets too. She then slipped around, knowing her foe would defend against the attack, and prepared to charge in for an attack with her blade.

Myosai

I dunno what you mean by attractive- you look like an ape and I look like garbage. And what do games have to do with law?

Myosai still thought this was part of some game. Clueless Majin, oh how she never knew...

"What's intercourse?" She asked, mid-Hiroshi talking. Is it some sort of game or something? This is getting real weird.. and touchy.." By now, the pink woman was somewhat distressed about the whole situation. The two of them were out in the middle of the desert at night- and it was fucking freezing. And both of them had no clothes. How the heck was Myosai going to find another pair of those clothes she always wore?! Where would she get them?"

"Do I want to do this?" She scoffed. "This whole thing has been real boring to be honest. No offense. Besides the whole near death thing of Death ball and the fight. That was fun. Still, I get bored easily, as you can tell.."

For some reason, whatever he was talking about seemed to get her excited. Perhaps a new game or something? Clueless Myosai.

"Yeah.. whatever. I'm in."

Turmenista sat at his desk, groaning audibly as he ripped off his glasses and rubbed his face to clear the nasty thoughts from his head.

"Oh fuck me... What have I done.."

Hiroshi:

Hiroshi almost froze in place when she agreed, not out of suprise, but a cocktail of fear, excitement and nervousness that had flooded his system. Frankly at this point, he was having second thoughts, this pink woman behaved similar to a child, and however arousing her body was, it was a tad akward when explaining the situation. Then there was Claudia…

Shrugging, Hiroshi grinned as he slammed his lips against hers.

( Insert R-Rated Sex Scene Here )

Well that wasn't bad at all.

Hiroshi stared silently into the night sky as he lay against the warm sand, the sensation of the grains rubbing against his back worsening the raw paths where a certain female had raked her fingers down his back.

Oh shit, Claudia!

Pulling himself from the sand, Hiroshi was suddenly very glad his dogi pants, as ripped and burned as they were, could at least serve as shorts in this situation.

Last night and gone well. His daughter was alive, he'd fought a Heran warrior, and he'd fornicate with a strange pink woman who had the attitude of a hyperactive seven year old.

Glancing back, Hiroshis studied the woman he'd spent the night with, cocking his head, he almost grinned at the reminder of his latest escapade.

Hell, she looks even better when I can see her properly.

Hiroshi might then feel a beyond uncomfortable amount of heat. The kind which a regular person might compare to an extra hot sauna, though a regular person would have been fried by the proximity to this heat. A thundering boom from nearby accompanied this, shaking a whole ton of the earth under it. Then another. Then another. One might soon realise (and be terrfiied) once they found out these were footsteps.

If Hiroshi turned around, he might see a familiar nine to ten foot red giantess with a look of pure hatred. Her features were hardened into a cold anger, not yet the molten rage which had yet to bubble completely to the surface. Feelings of betrayal, anger, worthlessness and frustration were all coming to the surface.

"What the fuck happened here Hiroshi?" She asked.

Battle! Vs. Liberty!

I... I'm sorry... Wait, why am I sorry for hurting Liberty? I'm supposed to completely hate her! Well, it was an odd reaction for my brain. Especially since it made me loosen my guard and be unprepared for the retaliation. I could feel that this attack is a powerful one. I braced for the hit, but then, something topped me. Why am I holding back? I have a new form unlocked, why am I letting her win? That's not something I would do! I swear, I must've drunk something bad for me recently...

I watched the force ball descending towards me. So gracefully, so smoothly. But I needed to power up to take it easier. With this, I clenched my fists and powered up once more. Time to drop the safe, but weak Level 1, and go to the next level! I could feel my Influx power almost burning inside. My aura was shooting up to insane levels... Oh, she's going to GET it... My hair had stood up even more, and got even whiter, same with my body's glow.

Level 2... complete... BAM! The force ball hit. But, even though I felt it was a massive force, I took it. My red X Corps coat got scorched and blown away, and I was now rocking a black T-Shirt. But I took the blast. And then... My scanners detected something coming behind me. Heh, she's joining the frey too? Without even turning my head, I moved my right arm back and caught the blade.

"There's a difference between you and me..." I spoke. My voice was a bit distorted and different from my normal voice, as if I had just went crazed, or evil. "Your Earthling Android kind can get upgraded when they come to visit their creator. We do it on the fly." I finally turned my head back to see Liberty's face, hoping to see a reaction in it. "We can get as strong as we want. Now, woman, are you ready for a dance?" Of course, I meant it figuratively. I don't dance with anyone.

My body suddenly vanished from the spot, and I charged Liberty from the side, attacking her with a barrage of physical strikes, with an energy blade in my right hand for slicing damage. The combo was to be finished with a massive energy wave.

Liberty reacted with surprise to the sudden change in the tide of battle, how easily her attack had been shrugged off and how much easier it had been to catch her sneak attack. He had not been anywhere near this strong a few seconds ago. Liberty wasn't sure what was happening and this was a very uncomofortable change. Wait... he charged up again. Does his power have different levels? Does this mean he's on a completely different level right now? When his words came out, Liberty almost felt fear. Which is quite an impressive feat, seeing as even when she was fighting those two archons she was fearless to the last.

Then the hurting started. Liberty wasn't really able to fend off the physical attacks, each one cracking at her. Her forcefield crashed long ago and she took the brunt of the physical attack, leaving her nearly devestated. She was looking nearly destroyed, the porcelain like flesh around her body having been cracked and broken off, leaving her metal skeleton exposed. She began healing, which helped her survive the energy wave, which sent her flying, tearing off her arm and leaving a large hole in the side of her torso. She flopped down.

And yet she still got up. Or at least tried to. Her body was repairing itself, including the eye which had been blown out by the wave and the arm that was no longer attached to her body. She was healing, but she seemed particularly vulnrable now. And another attack could finish her in this window of time. She grunted, atempting to get up. "I... I can't fucking loose." She said. She felt like she was going to cry, she was so embarrassed, To be outclassed after all that cockiness and then beaten to a pulp. Also the excruciating pain didn't help her struggle with tears, but her willpower made it so that she didn't. "I'm not going to let you win that easily!"

She needed to level the playing field? But how? She remembered something her creator said... about... a well of power? Transformation? Think Liberty think!

Battle! Vs. Liberty!

I grinned as I saw my opponent pummeled down and beaten. Yes! It's done! I managed to surpass my rival at last! No wonder that Power Influx is considered such a powerful weapon. And when it's in my hands... After all of this is done, I should wreck Xicor as well! This is great... Seeing Liberty falling, I folded my arms and slowly descended on the ground, following her. It was truly a terrifying sight - a man, all glowing white, with white spiky hair and power rivaling gods, landing right in front if you, with certainly not good intent.

"Well then. There's not much time left for you, so I will keep it simple." I saw Liberty stsrting to cry. My mind was torn. I wanted to rub my victory in her face and destroy what self-esteem she still has lef, and still, I felt like... I wasn't doing the right thing. It's like I've grown on her... Come on, Frank, suppress those emotions! You are not an Earthling, you are a godlike android! "After the colossal disappointment that was the last battle with you... I lived on training... I wanted to get better..." My words were mumbled together and disprderly, with heavy panting, as if I was trying to express the anger that was filling up in me. Why am I so weak? So vulnerable in my mind? "I knew that my race's strength was adaptatability, and that is where I went. With training in my Influx form, I discovered just that - adaptability. This transformation is never-ending - you can always unlock a new level through practice, indefinitely and infinitely... I will always get stronger, if only I put effort into it!"

I spread out my arms. "And this... is the fruit of that effort. I..." With every word, with every statement, rage was filling up in me. "I COULD NOT LET IT PASS! Do you think when we first fought, I accepted the fact that I was weaker than an Earthling-build? Weaker than YOU?! THAT is why I needed this form! And then, I came to Washington to kill somebody. You should be happy that it is going to be you, not the entire city." With these words, I slowly lifted my hand, and charged up an energy beam.

"Through this time... You know, we could have been great friends if we were not bitter rivals." I'm sorry- NO! No being sorry! Fire the beam! And I... did... An energy wave, right towards Liberty...

So... that is it?

This is it then? Killed by an arrogant jerk. Still. Despite the fact that he was self confident to levels even Liberty thought was too much, she couldn't muster as much hate for him as she once could. In fact where there was once anger and disgust there was... a budding respect? He had worked quite hard to surpass her after all. Liberty almost wondered if he deserved this. This victory. He seemed quite upset. Maybe it would make him feel better?

Fuck what he feels. I don't deserve this! She thought as the energy built up in his fist. Her own fists clenched. I have so much more I want to do. So much to experience. I'm not fucking ready to die.

She mentally picked her crumbling brain apart. It was getting hard to think and her healing was getting slower. The darkness was closing in, and she felt as if she would die. Death was coming, and she couldn't stop him. She couldn't do it. She didn't have the strength. It wasn't fair. She had worked too. She had searched for her creator for so long. She had been fighting hard and this was her reward. To die in the siberian winter to her Rival.

It wasn't fair.

This isn't right... this isn't.. Just.

Justice

"I'm sorry Frank." She spoke, her voice having lost all fear, all pain, all anger. It was surprisingly... impartial. "But I'm not ready to die yet." She spoke. It wasn't a threat. It wasn't a promise. It was a fact. She reached up towards her chest and hit her hand against it, Like a button, it glowed, and suddenly there was a bright light as a transformation occurred. It was obscured by the light, which went off right about the same time she transformed.

Suddenly the energy beam was deflected, the wave of death sent into orbit. If frank looked where there was once bright light, he would see Liberty, but a different liberty. One with an aura of power much stronger that what she once had. "You speak of hard work, But I also worked hard." She spoke. "This has been my reward."

"This fight is not over. Not by a long shot." She said, simply, unleashing a vicious kick at her opponent, aiming to launch him into a nearby mountain. "You want to fucking dance Frank? Okay. Let's fucking Dance!" She shouted, Her two machine guns fired then, their ammunition was not regular ammo, but weapons which would be suitable for a being of Liberties strength. Her attacks came not from pre constructed bullets, but from her own power.

[Charmera]

Hiroshi might then feel a beyond uncomfortable amount of heat. The kind which a regular person might compare to an extra hot sauna, though a regular person would have been fried by the proximity to this heat.

Feelings of betrayal, anger, worthlessness and frustration were all coming to the surface.

"What the fuck happened here Hiroshi?" She asked.

Hiroshi:

His mouth was suddenly very dry. She wasn't supposed to have come. Yeah he could blame it on the full moon, but he was certain Claudia wouldn't believe it anyway, he wouldn't for that matter. Wincing, he turned around, a nervous smile covering his features, his eyes darting around the landscapes ruined features.

" W-What do you mean?" They Hybrid responded, a nervous sweat pouring down the back of his neck.

For an eternity, Claudia paused. She could not believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. She did not want to believe what had happened. It made her feel cheap and idiotic even considering the lurid acts that happened here. How she had been betrayed.

"How... How fucking stupid do you think I am exactly?" She asked. She moved towards Hiroshi and the heat got even hotter. "I find you naked, in the same crater as a fucking pink woman after earthquakes have been wrecking the area, and you think I'm stupid enough to believe shit like that?" She asked. She paused again, for a while again.

"Why?" She asked. The question was self explanatory, and there was an "After all we've been through?" implied.

She paused again, for a while again.

Narrowing his eyes, Hiroshi gave an exasperated groan, throwing his hands up as he retrieved his boots. Golden hair fell to onyx, three bangs hanging over the side of dirt streaked face. His now black eyes made the stare all the more piercing.

" Why do I have to explain myself to you?" The Hybrid growled. " I made no promises of dating and so on to you. I'm a Saiyan Claudia, I don't have to follow your planets rules." Pulling his second boot on, he stood.

" Besides, she's a hell of a lot more fun then you were." Hiroshi added, immediely regretting the words that slipped past his lips.

It had taken almost a legendary feat of willpower to restain herself previously. But now... Her face contorted to ungoldly levels of pure, unadulterated rage.
Claudia just couldn't take it anymore. She slammed her fist right into Hiroshi's face. It was a pretty brutal punch all things considered, she had made little effort to hold back in her strike. Her anger empowered it to very high levels. She then grabbed Hiroshi by the neck and lifted him to eyes level, snarling at him.

"YOU BETTER FUCKING START EXPLAINING!" She exploded in her face. Then she tossed him to the ground. "Just because your a Sayain doesn't give you the right to treat people like fucking garbage! You fucking knew what you did was shitty, and you did it anyway? WHY!?" She roared, slamming a fist into the ground.

[Charmera]

Battle! Vs. Liberty!

She survived. She transformed. I almost... smiled. It's like I did not want her to die... Something is definitely weird here. I don't care how long I will have to fight her - I'll do it! For the kill! For me! For both of us! I braced for the kick, and got flung away for a mile before stopping mid-air. And then the damn bullets came. Darn it, she thought of everything! I crossed my arms and clenched my body to endure the first blows, then charged forward. The first few strikes are always thd hardest, bit when you learn to tank it - you can just go forward and forget about it.

I could only hear bullets bouncing off and flying past my body as I moved in to a closer range. These were no ordinary bullets, though. They were somehow enhanced to be strong enough to harm even people at this level of strength. I still took it. I take everything. The foe is near... Yes! I landed right in front of Liberty and her massive, almost comical firearms. Where did she pull those out? I could also get a cleaner look of her, in he split second that I payed attention to it. Not that bad.

I did not wait, did not speak, just put up my hand and fired a barrage of energy blasts at point-blank ange. If she still can regenerate, I'll need to find an another way of attack...

LIberty-

No

Justice blocked the strikes with her new and improved forcefields... well... more improved than new. She managed to mitigate the damage, then she changed her two guns. They quickly morphed from machine guns to shotguns, each huge and deadly looking. She then took her oppertunity and quickly sped towards her foe, unleashing both barrels at his face as soon as she got close. Then she fired again. She didn't really need to reload. The guns seemed to just take care of that for her.

Throwing such energy at a lady Frank. Tut Tut." She chided. "It seems manners weren't included in your programming." She jested.

You fucking knew what you did was shitty, and you did it anyway? WHY!?" She roared, slamming a fist into the ground.

Milliseconds before Claudias fist connected, Hiroshis features had morphed into one offer surprise, before a large red fist cracked several teeth and barely nearly broke the Saiyans Jaw. It wasn't like any other punch he'd normally faced either, his body had crumpled to the ground, before a rough red hand grasped his throat and dragged him up again.

" I don't have to explain myself to you." The Saiyan coughed, blood stained teeth showing. " I saw a chick, I thought she was hot, we fucked. End of story. She was pretty good at it too." Hiroshi chuckled, wincing in preparation for the next round of strikes.

Seeing Horishi's bloody face almost made Claudia guilty. It gave her paused, for she still cared about the bastard.

Then he had to talk. And when he talked, it was the same arrogant piss shit. "YOU THINK I GIVE A FUCK IF IT WAS GOOD?!" She replied, suddenly kicking him across the crater. "You are a massive fucking asshole. You know that? I thought I loved you. I thought you loved me. We've been through all sorts of shit together! Suddenly a tear apearred, then more. "I... Thought we... had something." She had been hurt, and it was begining to pierce through the armour of rage. But she needed to keep it up.

"But you shat on it. You shat on everything and you didn't give a damn about how I would feel! AM I SO FUCKING WORTHLESS TO YOU?"She shouted, then slammed her foot down on Hiroshi.

Naja

"Yeah... Kinda. We're not arguing or anything. He... Got turned into some sort of zombie slave thing... What's the word? Sleeper agent or something like that. And now Stark and all the pro reggers are using him as a giant flyswatter. There's no emotion to him. He's just a... Machine." She explained quietly to her friend. "And... I certainly didn't help matters any by punching Stark... A lot. And then leaving him almost naked in the Salt Flats. Stark said they'd fix him, but I don't want him to be their slave. I'm sorry about the elevator. I forgot to turn my powers off before I came inside because my mind was elsewhere trying to find a way to fix this. I tried to bluff, but Stark called me on it. He said I just don't have it in me to go through with what I said. And I think he's right."

Katie paused. She took a step back, shocked, she gasped. "Holy shit..." She muttered. It sounded rough. Katie wasn't even sure where to start at first. But she knew she needed to help. She couldn't have someone else suffer like she had. "That's pretty darn shitty. I used to think Stark was one of the good guys... but this is just... wrong. You shouldn't do that kind of thing to people." She remarked. Then paused. When she mentioned her bluff. "I'm not sure I could have done the same... Since Eric..." She stopped. "I... I've been thinking" She paused. Why was it so hard to say? "... I have something to tell..."

She shook her head. This was about Naja, not her. Focus. "Look. He's still there. I've been studying the brain for a while so I could improve my powers, and this kind of thing can't erase who he is completely, so there's still hope. " She said. "There should be ways to bring him back. And I'm willing to help you find them." She smiled. "I mean, we are teammates aren't we? We should help each other out."

Several ribs shattered when she punted him away. A sharp gasp escaped him as he rolled over, more focused on readying himself for the next hit then for getting a way.

Let her get out her anger. I deserve it

" We did have something. I'm saying me saying I loved you was a mistake." Hiroshi coughed, a stomp burying his frame in rock. Grasping onto her foot weakly, he tried to push it off of him, to no avail, his hands falling away.

" No. Your not worthless Claudia. I don't love you anymore." Hiroshi said angrily, coughing blood onto her foot as he laid back, accepting the next round of hits.

"GraaahhhH!" She shouted, angry, very angry. Livid even. Enraged. She continued her attack, beating up her ex boyfriend with mercilless attack after attack. But then she stopped. Her first now covered in his blood. "You're so fucking selfish. I didn't have to fucking help you, and this is how you repay me?" She replied. She regreted saying that, but she was mad and it didn't matter. She was too mad to care.

"We're done Hiroshi. If I ever see you again..." She spoke. 'You're dead." She spoke, walking out of the Crater. She turned back, waiting for Hiroshi to spit out his last comment. Or tell her this was a dream or she was just insane. That this wasn't real.

Sarah herself was just as surprised as Samantha when their little sister threw her backpack to the air all of the sudden before running off, and the loud howl that came afterwards did nothing to ease her concern. Seeing Samantha yell that they had to stop her, Sarah too looked into Hanah's backpack once Sam had run off, and was just as shocked as the others were upon seeing that someone had stolen her little sister's teddy. She was well aware of how important the small toy was for Hanah (they'd had an episode that very same morning because of the teddy, after all), and when the pale woman thought of what the wolf girl must have been willing to do to whoever had dared to steal her teddy, she could not help shuddering.

Hearing John's question, Sarah shook her head. "My sister? No, she's not in danger. But I bet someone else is." She stated before running off behind Sam and Hanah.

“Alright Jonathan, you have a teddy now. You feeling better?”

The little kid in the alley named Jonathan smiled, nodding as he hugged his new best friend. James sighed, shaking his head.

“Alright. Just… stop crying. Please…” He said. Then he looked over to Harvey, the middle brother, who had a look of disapproval.

“What!? It’s not like we haven’t stolen before!”

“Dude. That was a girls teddy. And her and her sisters looked kinda weird. You sure this was a good idea…”

James sighed, rubbing his temple. “I’m just trying to make sure we’re all okay.” He spoke. Then frowned. “How did you know she had a Teddy?”

“I dunno.” Harvey replied. “How did you steal it?”

“I dunno.” Spoke James. And they left it at that. As thet usually did.

“She was pretty cute. Especially the wolf ears.” James remarked

“I dunno, she looked a little… fierce. I like her sister better.” Harvey replied. “She is hot”

Then they heard the howl.

“The heck was that?”

Harvey chuckled. “Maybe wolf girl’s gonna ask for a date-“

“Shut up.” James spoke, suddenly he moved to the front of the alley. He stood in front of his brothers, and sure enough he was right to shush his brother. A very large humanoid wolf stood there, looking at all of them. James stood, defiant, but scared out of his mind. The wolf moved it’s head down, eye’s narrowed and teeth bared. It snarled, a challenge. James resisted the urge to scream and run. Harvey opened his mouth to scream, but nothing came out. Jonathan was stunned into silence and was now ignoring the teddy.

The Teddy.

The wolf lifted her claw, ready to slam it down into the person in her way.

LIberty-

No

Justice blocked the strikes with her new and improved forcefields... well... more improved than new. She managed to mitigate the damage, then she changed her two guns. They quickly morphed from machine guns to shotguns, each huge and deadly looking. She then took her oppertunity and quickly sped towards her foe, unleashing both barrels at his face as soon as she got close. Then she fired again. She didn't really need to reload. The guns seemed to just take care of that for her.

Throwing such energy at a lady Frank. Tut Tut." She chided. "It seems manners weren't included in your programming." She jested.

Frank Mayhem

Battle! Vs. Liberty!

---

"What can I say. I've always been a fan of a more wild and energetic approach with the ladies." I commented with a clear grin. She was coming towards me at immense speeds, and the weapons she carried surely looked terrifying. Think, Frank! Bullets are made out of metal, and metal can be melted... Genius. I grabbed onto the handle of the blade on my back. Perfect. Still there. I pushed the button at the very end, and waited.

You have to let them come at you. The greatest battles of history were not won by attacking, but by defending from attacks. She got close rather quick, and I saw the massive spray of bullets. They were powerful and fast, but I was faster. In a mere picosecond - in an instant to the naked eye - I took out the Heat Blade, cut up every single bullet into multiple pieces and placed the weapon back in it's handle. The pieces all slammed to the ground in front of me, all burning hot and molten.

I couldn't risk even a single instant wasted, though, and immediately leaped up, then extended my hands, aimed the index fingers at the transformed Liberty and fired a volley of high-speed energy shards for even greater cutting and slashing damage.

Justice frowned at the attack, and how her own was stopped. She quickly blocked the slashing damage with an force shield, the energy shards slashing damage not really very effective against an energy shield. She then quickly summoned chains around her. “I tend to use that approach myself.” She spoke. She then suddenly moved to wrap the chain around her opponent. “I try not to let myself be… tied down.” She launched the chains like a cannon towards the ground, so if Frank got wrapped by the chains he would find himself being sent towards the ground. If not he would be hit with chains.

Then Liberty summoned a massive sniper rifle, and fired at Frank with them, but now the ammunition was explosive, so cutting it would be counterproductive and would only end up hurting Frank.

"GraaahhhH!" She shouted, angry, very angry. Livid even. Enraged. She continued her attack, beating up her ex boyfriend with mercilless attack after attack. But then she stopped. Her first now covered in his blood. "You're so fucking selfish. I didn't have to fucking help you, and this is how you repay me?" She replied. She regreted saying that, but she was mad and it didn't matter. She was too mad to care.

"We're done Hiroshi. If I ever see you again..." She spoke. 'You're dead." She spoke, walking out of the Crater. She turned back, waiting for Hiroshi to spit out his last comment. Or tell her this was a dream or she was just insane. That this wasn't real.

Hiroshi:

" Helped me? You're the reason I died! If you hadn't given in to your anger and shot at Garlic while he held my daughter! Do you ever stop in think that the reason you've achieved anything is because your with me!" Hiroshi howled, staggering to a half standing stance. It hurt him to know he was hurting her this bad, and he really didn't want to be the one responsible.

She'll find someone better then me. I can't let her think I still care, I'll only hurt her.

The familiar shriek and warm glow of a Super Saiyan burst to life around him, Hiroshi staggering forward to stand befor Claudia.

" I know you can do better. Your this so far have been pathetic." He hissed, his face contorted in rage, while his emerald eyes showed complete sadness.

She'll never know you actually love her. You'll never see her again....

Claudia gritted her teeth and came back down, her rage causing her strength to soar. She began beating him more, slamming her knee into her once boyfriends stomach with considerable force. She could have nearly killed him with that strike alone had he not been in SSJ form. She then followed this up by tossing his head to the ground and then slamming it repeatedly against the solid ground. Her heat was enough that touching her would burn.

“How’s that for Pathetic!”

[Charmera]

Naja

She was doing her best to hold back tears, but what Katie said gave her a glimmer of hope. She knew about Katie's electrical powers. Combined with the knowledge on how the brain worked, she was pretty much suggesting that she could possibly rewire Alex's brain. Which sounded great to her. But there was only one issue. "Okay... On paper, that sounds like a potentially risky, but also rewarding idea. The biggest problem being that Alex is... Pretty damn strong. To put it mildly. So we would have to hold him down long enough for you to do your brain surgery. Any suggestions on how we actually do that?" She asked. "And Katie... Thank you."

"It... Does. Im going to admit this is a hard plan to enact." she spoke. "But I think I can do it. I... I can't let you loose Alex. I can't let something like that happen again." She spoke. Then bit her lip. She suddenly heard Kylie and smiled slightly. "That sounds great Kylie. I myself will be doing my part in helping Naja get her boyfriend back to being not mind controled. If any of you guys want to help out with that, let us know."

She turned to Naja. "We're going to need all the help we can get. But don't worry. We can do this shit." She extended a hand for Naja, meaning for her friend to shake it.

[Charmera]

Zephy & Ember

It didn't take long for Ember to find Zephy, she was the faster one after all. First, lets take care of those tidal waves, in a single motion a giant wave of fire flew over the ocean surface and instantly evaporated the tidal waves that the winds had created. "Hey I got no clue who you are or what you're doing but I'm here to stop your tidal wave of anger." Hmm, that could've sounded better, oh well, the fire waves were probably enough to get peoples attentions so I'll settle for that. Zephy looked a bit around in confusion as fire spread underneath her evaporating the water "Where the water go? Fishies were in water, you burn Zephy's Fishy? Zephy shred you!" "I did what now?" was all the reply Ember could give before extremely powerful winds began shredding her.

The winds actually left an impression and Ember actually felt them doing something, good thing she was an archon, any part that was shred off just came back after all. Ember responded with giant flames heading towards Zephy, the flames were affecting her, her movements became less accurate, but also less predictable and faster. It wasn't to long before the battle had created all kinds of mixtures between fiery tornadoes, burning oceans, black ash filled clouds, ...

And regardless of what they did to each other nothing really had any lasting effect.

Tina noticed two bodies as the centre of his conflict. In a moment, her mind clicked back to Zephy and an unlocked memory. She remembered Ember, her eternal memory recalling the fire archon. She also noticed a watery figure standing atop a platue of ice, next to a dragon.

"Aqua... That's her name? How do I remember that?" She asked herself. There was no answer.

[Charmera]

Justice frowned at the attack, and how her own was stopped. She quickly blocked the slashing damage with an force shield, the energy shards slashing damage not really very effective against an energy shield. She then quickly summoned chains around her. “I tend to use that approach myself.” She spoke. She then suddenly moved to wrap the chain around her opponent. “I try not to let myself be… tied down.” She launched the chains like a cannon towards the ground, so if Frank got wrapped by the chains he would find himself being sent towards the ground.

Frank Mayhem

Battle! Vs. Liberty!

---

Well then. As French would say "alors". With the sight of Liberty going on the offensive, I quickly moved back, and my silhouette started flickering. In fact, I was not even there at that moment. I was everywhere. Through the use of after-images and high-speed movement, I was constantly changing position, hundreds of times every second, to create the illusion of there being multiple clones of me. And when one of them vanished after a fired sniper bullet and a chain grab, I merely smirked. And so did everyone.

Time to attack again. This was the opportunity! We all leaped forward, and charged to the center, where the transformed Liberty stood. It looked like we were in the dozens, but really, none of them was the real me. I stood on a boulder fifty feet away and fired a barrage of energy blasts.

Bastard seems to like dodging my shots she though to herself. She looked around at the after images, and simply created an omnidirectional expanding wall of force to push them away with considerable force.

Next, she turned to see the energy, she countered each blast with a well timed ball of force, and then turns to see the Frank on the Boulder. She then took the oppertunity to bring out the big guns. She summoned two comically large miniguns very quickly and then fired at her target, firing millions of buklets a second.

Sarah arrived at the scene not too long after Samantha did, and once she was there, she stopped for a moment to catch her breath, before looking around. Samantha had arrived just in time to hold back Hanah, which was fortunate for the boys in the alley, as they were about to get reduced to a bloody pulp by her werewolf sister. Now, Sarah didn't only want to stop Hanah in order to save the boys, she also wanted to spare her the grief of having their lives on her conscience, and so, with a snap of her fingers, she caused several more tendrils of shadow to shoot forth from the shadows around the alley and assist in restraining the mighty werewolf. Of course, even with her added efforts it was unlikely that Hanah would be restrained for long, as she was the strongest of the three physically, but even then, if it could at least buy them some time, it was worth it.

With that done, she turned to look at the boys. They were all pretty young, the eldest of them appearing to be no older than Hanah, and the one holding her little sister's teddy bear was the youngest one as well. Though there was a look of fear on his face, she could see innocence in that look, and knew that he couldn't have stolen the bear himself, so she surmissed that the other two must have done it. The oldest was standing in front of the others, despite being scared as well, and as she looked at the three of them, she couldn't help feeling a pang of sorrow for them. They reminded her of herself and her sisters quite a bit, reminded her of when they were younger. However, they had stolen her sister's teddy nonetheless, and though she couldn't personally hate them for it, she knew that it would bring a lot of trouble and pain if they didn't give it back.

Hearing an impact behind her, she turned around to see John, having apparently used some sort of energy to hit Hanah. Sarah would have paled, if such a thing was possible, but it was evident that she was alarmed nonetheless. "Don't hit my sister!" She pleaded. She knew that Hanah had to be restrained, but to see her being struck was painful nonetheless. Turning back to the boys, she stared at them. "I don't know why you stole that teddy bear and I don't want you to tell me either, but if you don't give it back, then something very bad is going to happen to all of us." She warned sternly.

The Ashbringer ignored the leaded man's yapping as he charged towards him at the speed of light, only slowing down to look at the energy blasts and block them with his black sword, the absolute flames coating it devouring the energy of the attacks and turning it into nothing before it even touched the blade. After nullifying all of them, the Blazeborn continued his relentless charge, finally meeting The One Below All in close combat at last as the enemy dashed towards him as well. Their blades clashed, neither of them budging, with Asra being ever so slightly stronger than the opponent, but not to any significant degree. However, the flames coating his black blade were slowly but steadily lapping his foe's silver sword, the absolute fire gnawing on the pristine metal, threatening to consume it in no time.

Hanah growled as she was hit, but seemingly it didn't matter. The red mist seemed to half part and she was confused for a moment, she struggled against her bonds, and anger returned, she roared and howled as she used her strength to tear through the barrier part by part.

"We won't hit her if she leaves us alone!" Shouted James. He looked back to jonnathan.

Harvey looked back too. "It's your choice man. James stole the teddy for you."

"It's not mine." Jon replied simply, and then her walked towards the werewolf, and the female hulking wolf girl paused right after breaking free, her eyes locking with Jon's.

"Jon! Are you crazy, get away from her!"

[Charmera]

Alex flew into the massive beam that Asumar fired. His bright golden energy condensed into his fists. He lifted both of them above his head aiming to axe slam Asumar. Normally, he'd be using much less power, and have a taunt planned, but now he was gunning for blood as a mindless super soldier. He would be ashamed of himself had he had enough sense to feel shame. He was never a hateful person. A bit cold and stoic, but he certainly wouldn't tear someone's head off over a fight.

Fury was en route to the fight. He had to call Alex off before he killed someone in public. That would undermine everything they stood for. Even if one of them was a murderer, registration was about second chances. Many of the villains had signed up and were on the payroll. Typically for messier missions, but the idea was still there. It didn't take long for the SHIELD jet to get him there. He stepped out looking as commanding as ever. "Alright. Stand down soldier. I think they got the message. We're not here to make a mess." He said and Alex stopped fighting as he approached Asumar. "I've given you plenty of chances, alien. Here's one more. If you don't surrender. I can't stop what's going to happen next. I mean that literally. I'm trying to save your life, and give your son a real life on this planet. Trust me, I'm trying to keep this planet safe. It's my job. And since you're on this planet too. That includes you. Don't make this difficult."

Naja

Kylie volunteered to help them too? That made her feel a bit better about their odds. "The good news is, we're registered. So he won't fight until we start it. Katie, how long do you think it'll take to rewire his brain? We can buy you... A minute? I think." She said and thought about it. "How close do you have to be?"

"Depends. I don't nessecarily need to be too close. I just need to be able to see him." She explained. "There is... One way I could be certain to rewire his brain, but that would involve having to touch him and then send my electron self within his nervous system. I could perform all ther alterations in peace then BUT." She held up a hand. "That's potentially more dangerous, as not only do I have to get close enough to touch him, but it also could be more complicated once I get in. I won't have a birds eye view of his brain, basically and I might get lost in there."

"So there's the safer but longer way, and the risky but potentially more efficient way." Latie remarked, then turned to Cora, frowning. "Are... Are you sure Cora? Alex is pretty powerful and... He won't be holding back. You might get hurt..."

[Charmera]

Sarah winced and looked back as she saw the shadow chains break down one by one, her eyes widening as she feared for both the children's lives and her little sister's innocence. She turned back to the three boys in the alley, her stare undoubtedly conveying the urgency of the situation. Hearing the oldest boy's comment, she frowned. They might've reminded her of herself and her sisters when they were younger, but she was fairly certain that she'd never been this much of a prick. Either way, there were more important things to worry about, and so, like the two older boys, she too looked at the little kid, Jonathan, feeling relieved and also admiring him when he moved to give the teddy bear back, saying that it was not his.

The pale woman shushed the two brothers, and then walked with Jonathan towards Hanah, both to further calm her sister and to keep her from hurting the boy if something went awry. It seemed that Samantha had the same idea, and spoke to the boy, explaining why the wolf girl had become so violent all of the sudden, before turning to Hanah and attempting to get her to come back to her senses. Seeing this, Sarah too approached and placed her arms around Hanah's waist, awkwardly hugging the hulking werewolf as Samantha held her hand.

Instead of saying anything, she started singing an old lullaby that she used to sing to put her sisters to sleep, in hopes that it would finally turn Hanah back. It was evident that she was already hesitating to hurt anyone, so that was all she could do. It was up to Hanah and Jonathan now.

There was a bright explosion that expanded for miles in the black void of space, which would have annihilated anything, had there been anything to annihilate.

But when the light faded away, there was, at the very center of the sphere that the explosion had been, a sphere of absolute flames, spinning very rapidly as if forming some sort of barrier, and indeed, an unbreakable barrier they had formed. Of the massive ammount of energy that was released when the sword of The One Below All exploded, none of it was able to do so much as touch Asra before being consumed by the absolute fire around him.

After emerging from his burning cocoon, the Blazeborn beat his wings once, and sent forth a massive wave of mundane fire that washed over the planet below him, leaving it barren and devoid of life, turning it into little more than a cooked stone, a glorified asteroid. After that, he surged forth towards the place where his cowardly enemy had fled. He cared not for who he was or what his purpose was for attacking him, but if The One Below All had power that nearly matched his own, then the Ashbringer sought to learn more about it, so he could judge if stealing such power would aid him in his purpose.

Catching up to The One Below All, the corrupted Rainborn pointed his sword at the opponent, and suddenly, an enormous serpent constructed with corrupting fire surged forth, homing in on the fleeing warrior.

---

Hearing about the situation, Etla, who was standing there along with Ihra and Mayla, turned to the former and nodded at her. "Let's go, sis." She said to the red-haired Rainborn, before snapping her fingers, summoning her crimson and silver armor. Her horned shoulderplates seemed to shift position and begin sliding up, until they converged around her head, forming into the same horned helmet that she had worn during her fight against Thaddeus Ross.

Now clad in her gear, she held out her armored hand in front of her, and her gilded greatsword appeared before her. She then began walking after Mayla and Craig, briefly looking back at the facility they were leaving, beyond which some man in a brown suit was fighting a bunch of soldiers who had come to recapture Craig. She frowned bitterly at the thought of such a thing happening, and the grip on her blade tightened. She wanted nothing more than to make them stop bothering him, and she knew that if she were to let herself loose upon those soldiers, she could easily annihilate them all in instants... but she restrained herself. "Craig wouldn't want that." She told herself as she continued walking towards the treeline.

"But if they touch him..."

Hanah and the child's eyes were still locked, and slowly the curtains of red were falling and Hannah was coming back to the fore. She looked around, seeing for the first time. She saw her sisters, hearing a lullaby she had heard so many times when she was young. She noticed jonnathan. Her big hands reaching out to him and he flinched. She paused, then reached out slower, gently bringing him into the embrace. She shrank slowly, returning to her normal form. She swayed slightly, and James rushed over to help balance her.

"Hey bro, wasn't I righ-"

"Shut up Harvey." He spoke. Then took the eddy from Jon and passed it to Hanah. "There. Teddy is back." He stretched out a hand, for shaking. Hanah looked at it."we cool now?"

She nodded, then shook it. "We cool." She said. "Sorry about-"

"it's fine."

She turns to her sisters, holdings Teddy close. "Sorry for scaring you guys."

Frank Mayhem

Battle! Vs. Liberty!

---

Oh boy. We're pulling out the big black guns. Which, by the way, was not intended to be a sexual euphemism. "If there's one thing I ever accociated with justice, liberty and freedom, it's monstrous miniguns. Gotta accept that." After this sarcastic remark, I crossed my arms and forged an energy shield just above my body. The bullets were pounding onto the shield with continuous, rhytmic and considerably large force- I let out a mental sigh.

You know, Liberty's gun is certainly one powerful one. You'd imagine a minigun firing, like maybe 6000 rounds per minute. Maybe up to 10 thousand. Nah, this one is not only about as big as she is, but sprays lead bullets in trillions. And somehow doesn't run out of ammunition. I knew the shield wasn't going to hold long. The first few bullets were bouncing off of me after going through the cracks. Widening up. I charged up a lot of energy in my hand, and the the wave struck. The shield was broken into multiple pieces and I took the full blunt of the spray. It's like... a heavy wind... if a heavy wind could push me.

Darn it! Fire the energy wave! And I did. Right to the wave of bullets and towards the source - Liberty, vaporizing and blasting rounds all the way.

"Batter up!" Was all Liberty said, before coating her massive guns in fields of force. Reacting quickly, she slapped the energy wave away, the force sending it through the atmosphere once more. Then, Liberty quickly summoned two monsterous flamethrowers. She then hurtled towards her target with considerable speed. This is what happened last time, each of us hurling attacks that barely did shit. Unless I come up with something fast this deadlock will continue. She thought as she flew towards her target, her wings highlighting her angelic appearance as she pointed her flamethrowers at their target. She pulled both triggers, sending waves and plumes of fire. There's the added problem of trying to keep this planet from blowing up...

[Charmera]

With the help of the other members, Xyri was tearing through ship after ship. It got to the point where she was simply crushing themone handed and nomming on the rantu like popcorn. Of course the other members helped her take out the other ships, leaving only a few vessels hovering above the city. The command vessel and it's ships saw this was a battle they were swiftly loozing and decided to warp out, turning skywards as they fled, their cloak systems making them undectable as they left. Now most of the Rantu on earth looked skyward and panicked. They were now stranded on a backwards planet which they knew nothing about, and unlike the normal rantu, these pirates didn't have faith or national pride to keep them going. Only money they would never get to spend, sitting in some isolation booth on earth waiting to be dissect and studied. So a good amount of them simply toss their weapons and ran. Unfortunately a good few decided to go with the fight till the last mentality, but this battle had effectively been won and now was the cleanup phase.

Meanwhile, Xyri shrugged, she decided to try and find her friends, and thundered towards the little humans she had grown quite fond off. "So... Did I do good?" She asked, walking towards where Mars and Elena were. She had an innocent smile and a desire for approval from her new comrades.

[Charmera]

"Depends. I don't nessecarily need to be too close. I just need to be able to see him." She explained. "There is... One way I could be certain to rewire his brain, but that would involve having to touch him and then send my electron self within his nervous system. I could perform all ther alterations in peace then BUT." She held up a hand. "That's potentially more dangerous, as not only do I have to get close enough to touch him, but it also could be more complicated once I get in. I won't have a birds eye view of his brain, basically and I might get lost in there."

"So there's the safer but longer way, and the risky but potentially more efficient way." Latie remarked, then turned to Cora, frowning. "Are... Are you sure Cora? Alex is pretty powerful and... He won't be holding back. You might get hurt..."

"I don't want to lose two friends to this whole thing. I'll do my best to hold him down. In theory, I should be as strong as he is. I mean that doesn't say much. But we should be able to handle it." She said. "Though... That means I'm going to have to hit him really hard and stop him from regenerating until you can do your thing." She said and took a deep breath. "Okay... I think I'm ready." She had to go out and brutally maim the first man who was able to look past her appearance in order to save him. Now she was beginning to understand why Alex used to be so down all the time. This line of work could be very depressing at times, but she kept telling herself that it wasn't really Alex. Just a zombie super soldier. Which really didn't sound better than mind controlled boyfriend. She would rather take the hits than risk Kylie getting lost in Alex's nervous system. Which meant she would be down two friends. "Or... Oh god this is a terrible idea... I know someone who can fix this. Alex told me about him."

"Owen Reece."

Katie nervously chuckled. She thought Naja was joking. But then her eyes widened. "Oh god you're serious." She replied. She paused. She had actually met him, once, he was a distrubed individual to say the least. Katie had almost died in the course of the encounter, or had gotten close to a living death. Seeing as with his powers, Owen could trap her electron form within a non conductive material, making it impossible for her to escape. It was always a terrifying thought for her, to be lost within a structure she could not traverse. She wasn't even too sure how she got out last time. "I mean... If you think he can help, sure. But... he's pretty darn dangerous. He's probably the only person who can kill me when I'm in electric form.' She explained. She nervously rubbed her arm. "I'll go with you. I already agreed after all. And if he can find a better way I'd be all ears to try it."

[Charmera]

Mars
Mars stood by Elena as Xyri destroyed the remaining ships. He was annoyed that he had been sidelined at the end of the fight because Rocket ran out of energy. He saw Xyri's smile which only seemed to annoy him further. "I could have done that if Rocket's battery hadn't given out." He said to her. He knew that wasn't really true. Xyri had much greater strength than he did but his pride would not let him admit that. "Where did you come from anyway? Rocket's scanner can't read your DNA. You're no known species we've ever heard of, which is all of them." Mars questioned Xyri. Rocket however spoke up, "I thought your performance was quite efficient." He said truthfully to Xyri in his robotic voice. Unlike Mars he didn't harbor things like jealously or pride.

She shrugged slightly at Mars' critizism and smiled at Rockets praise. Then she address the question. "Come from?" Replied Xyri. She paused,. "Oh..." She continued, understanding the question. She smiled and shrugged awkwardly. "Well... I really don't know. I was... Born? Born in a lab I think. At least thats what the humans called it. They put me in a cage, but I just slipped out and left." She explained. "I didn't like the smell. Too clean." She explained.

---

As Xyri and the others fought valiantly with their newfound strength, Kirisvala simply stood atop that abandoned building she had picked as her stage, singing softly in order to aid her friends, the Hymn of Valor never ending. However, though the Hadrian singer had her eyes closed and was thus unable to see the exploits her teammates were achieving, she could still hear and feel, and so, she was, on some level, aware of what was happening. She flinched when she heard the red Rantu commander crashing on the building she was on, seemingly unconscious, and she nearly jumped every time she felt one of the massive battleships of the Rantu be taken out of the sky and then explode or carelessly be dropped off the ground. It was really a rather scary thing, to hear all of that when one was unable to see, but she knew that she had to continue singing, and she knew that she had to have faith in her new friends, and so, she steeled herself and carried on with her duty.

It was only until she stopped hearing such things, that she felt that something was amiss.

"Huh?" She opened her eyes, finally ending her song, though the well of power within the others would remain for a few more moments while the sound of her siren voice still reverberated in the air. As she looked up, she saw no more giant vessels in the air, no more floating orange discs, no more red and white wariors and no more orange soldiers, which meant that the battle had been won. Instead, what she saw was the gigantic Xyri, even bigger than before, heading towards where she believed the others were. Not wanting to get left behind, the Wynn magician used her claws to jump onto the slime girl's hand when she passed near the building.

When she arrived to the building where the others were and asked if she had done well, Kirisvala poked her head out. "You were amazing!" She said sincerely, putting her hands out in the air as if to emphasize this point. Of course, this meant that she lost her grip on Xyri, and that meant that she started falling off, though fortunately she was close enough to the building that holding onto the edge of the rooftop was a simple enough matter. Climbing back up, she looked around at the others.

"Did my song help you guys?" She asked with a content smile, confident that she had helped them quite a bit in taking out the Rantu.

Xyri then turned around to address her clawed friend. She bent over, though she didn't realize that her rear crashed into the building behind her and all but demolished it. "I was amazing...?" She asked, then smiled. "Thank you. Not many people call my amazing." She replied. Then paused, wondering what she meant by song. "Oh! Those noises you were making. They sounded very nice" She commented. "I think they helped me too. mean I felt stronger, and I was able to take more hits from the big floaty things." She explained.

Owen watched Patho, and then smacked his thug over the head with the butt of his shotgun. He threw the downed thug over his shoulder and chased after Patho as quickly as possible. He caught up with Patho and scribbled a note. Handing it to Patho, he said, "Leave this on the windshield after we finish dumping them off. I'll divert the officer." He shoved the other body onto Patho's shoulder. Sighting an officer nearby, he casually strolled out in front of him. "Hey!" the officer shouted and began to pursue.

Panther's feast was interrupted by the cops and tanks. They began shooting at him. He whimpered then ran to where the other heroes were with a dozen officers or so in hot pursuit. He flew past the empty whale tank and crashed to the ground in front of Xyri. The cops circled around him. Panther hid behind Xyri's gigantic foot as the cops aimed their weapons. He roared and tackled the one who took the first shot, then bit the leg of another officer.

Xyri heard something down bellow and frowned. She looked at Panther and gently grabbed him with two fingers, pulling him upwards and placing him on her palm. "Don't hurt the humans please. It will just make things worse." Then she looked down at the cops. "Don't hurt my friends. Or I'll have to absorb you until you can behave." She sounded like a scornful mothe. When she got up to her fully hieght with Panther in hand she smiled, quite proud of how she resolved things,

Talak

"Did we win?" He asked and stopped zipping around the zoo to see if there were any more Rantu. "I do not see anymore... I do not know what word... Aliens! I do not see anymore aliens." He said and stopped again. Most of the people who helped stopped the invasion were around his age or a few years older. Which made him feel somewhat more comfortable with the situation. He didn't have his father there to guide him. He pulled his hood back revealing a friendly blue face with pointed ears and green eyes. "My name is Talak. I have no idea what I am doing here."

Xyri smiled, looking at him. "I'm xyri. Pleased to meet you." She cocked her head slightly as she looked at him. "Wait. You're not human." She frowned. "Actually. A lot of us aren't human really. That's interesting..." She commented.

"Okay okay. So it's not the best idea. Or even a good one. Worse comes to worst we go to him if for some reason you can't fix him." She explained. "He's not a bad person. Just misunderstood. The poor guy probably needs a real friend. Besides. How much superhero cred would we get if we somehow managed to make him a good guy?" She said trying to inject a little lightheartedness into the situation. All she wanted was to have her boyfriend back and for things to go back to normal. "I'm talking out of my ass here. And I think I'll make that my next mission when this is all over. Don't tell Alex. He'll lose his mind.... Again."

"That sounds better. If we have to ask for help from one of the looney tunes, it's best done as a last resort." She replied. The smiled. "Considering the support we have... I think we can do this. And I think we really can make a difference in making sure that everyone is safe despite the massive civil war going on." She said, indulging in some optimisim. After all it wasn't all doom and gloom and pain and horror. "Sooo.... How are we going to find your boyfriend. As a slave to stark I'd imagine he moves around a lot." She paused. "Or am I missing a step here. Is there something we need to do first?"

"Batter up!" Was all Liberty said, before coating her massive guns in fields of force. Reacting quickly, she slapped the energy wave away, the force sending it through the atmosphere once more. Then, Liberty quickly summoned two monsterous flamethrowers. She then hurtled towards her target with considerable speed. This is what happened last time, each of us hurling attacks that barely did shit. Unless I come up with something fast this deadlock will continue. She thought as she flew towards her target, her wings highlighting her angelic appearance as she pointed her flamethrowers at their target. She pulled both triggers, sending waves and plumes of fire. There's the added problem of trying to keep this planet from blowing up...

Frank Mayhem

Battle! Vs. Liberty!

---

Ah. Ah. AAH!

DARN YOU!

I didn't have much time to react. It just... came so fast. And then I saw Liberty in front of me firing a wave of fire from her flamethrowers. And where else but right at my face. It's one of those moments that I feel lucky that X models are not coated in organic material like the older versions - it's mainly a silicon imitation. Even then, it was brutal. Clothes burning and scorching, heat sensors overloading, constant damage notifications... It was getting annoying, in a way. But I was taking it.

Phew, phew... The attack seems to have subsided. My body was still there, standing. I was one step away from being completely naked, and scorch and burn marks were everywhere. But the most threatening part was the demeanor. It was a mix of frustration, fury, and confidence. And yes, my mind was the same.

"Female equality has surely taken it's toll - women are stripping down men instead of the other way around." I used the opportunity to attack. Libety was in front of me - with flamethrowers in both of her arms. I raised my hand and fired a gargantuan golden energy wave - almost a kilometer wide - in point-blank range. Just don't destroy this planet, please...

'GAAAAH. MOTHERFUCKER." Shouted a pissed Liberty as she was catapulted nearly into orbit by the blast. She was hurt rather badly, but her healing put it back down to flesh wound levels. Now Liberty was in the upper atmosphere. She sighed, hurlting back towards Frank at speeds which made most jetfighters seem like glaciers. That hurt bad. Realy bad. Better finish this soonish. She accelrated when she saw him, aiming to be right in front of him. She stopped when she was, consverting her two flamethrowers into one massive sniper rifle which she intended to use as a bat to send her opponent flying. If she succeded that, then she would empty her clip firing the high explosive sniper rounds at him.

Sarah was very relieved to see that Hanah had finally turned back, and stepped away a little when one of the kids, the oldest one, approached her, taking the teddy bear from his little brother and handing it to her. They seemed to be getting along well now, which she was rather happy about. In the end, nothing terrible had happened, and that was a good enough outcome, considering what the risks had been. She watched as Samantha hugged the young wolf girl and then complimented the boy on his courage, which she had to admit was legendary. She would've probably been very scared if she had seen a werewolf when she was his age; back then, Hanah was a baby, so she wasn't all that familiar with her wolf form yet.

But though everyone seemed very happy, Sarah knew that there was something she had to do, something that she didn't enjoy at all. She walked up to Hanah and Samantha, waiting for them to finish hugging each other. Once they were done, she took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly before speaking.

"Hanah... What were you thinking?!" The pale woman snapped. Much to her chagrin, she had to be strict every once in a while. "You can't just transform into a giant werewolf every time someone messes with your teddy! You're sixteen years old, you have to behave around normal humans! Do you know what would've happened if you had used those big claws of yours against these kids? They would've died, and I will not let anyone in this family become a murderer if I can help it!" She scolded, before turning towards the boys. At the snap of her fingers, two claws of darkness emerged from the shadows and picked them up by the back of their collars. "And you, you can't just go around stealing girls' toys, what kind of attitude is that? You're never going to get a date like that, you two, all you're going to get is a fat load of trouble!"

Taking another breath, she released the kids and looked both at them and Hanah. "Did I make myself clear?"

Harvey panicked, squirming. "It was James' idea, honest."

James sighed. "Thanks Harv." He looked at the Pale woman. He inhaled. "Our brother wanted a teddy. I'm sorry I took your sisters teddy miss, I did not mean to cause her distress or pain. I just..." He paused. He had a pained look, one no sixteen year old should have. "I'm trying to keep this family together." He paused. "I think you understand that... right?"

Hanah paused, she looked down in shame, her ears drooping. She was exhausted. "I..." She stopped again, trying to convey what happened. She placed the tendy back into her rucksack. "I"m sorry... It... I ran out, and It just..." She paused. "Transformed by itself. I didn't even call upon my wolf form that time. It just came on by itself." She paused, rubbing the back of her head. "Sometimes... I'm not sure how much of me is animal and how much is human." She explained. She turned back to the little boy. She smiled.

"You wanted a teddy right?" She bent upwards. "Do you guys have any idea where we could buy one?"

Gilbert smiled when he noticed that the compliment was well-received, relieved that he hadn't made a fool of himself there. He was about to say something else, when he heard her ask if he was checking to make sure the mark on his chest was gone. His smile faded and he had a slight frown on his face as he nodded, not angry-looking, but rather simply serious. "Yes, that's right. I was checking to see if the clock was still there." He stated, but then shrugged. "But it looks like it's gone. We've gotten rid of Ku for good, thanks to you." He smiled slightly at that last comment, though he seemed a bit nervous about it nonetheless. "Still, though... I can't help thinking about what the Time Demon said before dying. It worries me..." He said, looking up at the sky.

"They're already here."

He shuddered and shook his head, telling himself that it was alright. Hadrimmelis said so herself after all, and he had reason to believe the word of a millenary dragon.

"But nevermind that." He said firmly, more to himself than to Aru, though he turned to look at her afterwards. "So... is there anything you want to do now? I don't exactly have much to do for the time being." He commented.

---

Aru paused, and them smirked with almost mischievous intent. "Well. I would very much like it if you could show me around your planet." She spoke, putting a hand in gilberts hand. She knew that she was attracted to him to a degree. She wondered if he would reciprocate those feelings. A controlled test couldn't hurt, after all besides a hunter she was a rational mind of the Rantu people, and the scientific method so many adopted to their lives should be of use in this area. "We could see the many sights of one of your earth cities. We could walk among the streets and paths, and you could show me your favorite. We could feel the cool night air against our skin as we walk across those streets, talking, sharing, experiencing together." She spoke, the smile never leaving her lips. She invaded his space subtly, though not to an uncomfortable degree. "We could even go to a cafe... or wherever you humans go to eat. I am quite hungry." She explained, then chuckled slightly. "Honestly human, I wish to know more about you. Through life and death we have forged a bond, and now would be a good time to temper it, no?"

Naja

"Last resort if something goes horribly wrong." She said and looked out the window to see a bright golden light fighting a much darker one. "I'll give you three guess as to where Alex is... Okay. Assuming he doesn't just kill whoever that is. Maybe we can get an enemy of my enemy sort of thing going on. Any extra backup when going against Alex would be useful." It was a suggestion. Hopefully enough to tip the scales enough to start fixing all the damage caused up to this point.

"Right then." She spoke. "We better get moving fast if we don't want the big apple to be smashed or Alex to hurt anyone.” She spoke, she quickly hopped within Naja, merging with her. “I may have to hop between you guys during the battle, so no need to get jealous Cora.” She teased, trying to keep things a little light. “I’m ready when you and Cora are Naja!” She spoke.

Lord Alastir, Lord Spera, Asumar Masaki, & Kazuko Masaki
The Wrath of the Celestials
SHIELD Helicarrier

A sadistic smile formed on Alastir's face as he felt the returning presence of the Void appearing within Alex, and it was bringing his primal instincts back to life once more "And so the great Void rears his face once more!" Alastir cackled as the black energy that had formed around his body began to bubble, corroding Alastir's very flesh, yet it didn't draw any blood whatsoever! "Not only do I get to murder Alexander for his actions against my people, but I get to put The Void in the ground again!" Alastir laughed once more, raising both hands up into the air, a massive portal began to open above, a massive tendril shot out of the portal, rivaling the size of a semi truck. The tendril began then shot out towards the oncoming tendrils that The Void had launched "Your mortal wound upon my body has inspired me to stop holding back the unkempt energies that my Galaxy contains, I can use it to crush you into fine dust." Alastir retorted back, watching as one of The Void's tendrils shot right through one of the tendrils that Alastir was manipulating and was shooting down right toward him.

Alastir, without thinking nothing of it decided to leap towards the large, man-sized tendril "HAAA!!!!" Alastir screamed out, generating a massive shockwave that met the Infini-Tendril mid way and clashed against it "Hakai No Ken!" Alastir exclaimed, the Sword of Destruction appearing right by his side. Alastir grabbed hold of it, flew up in the air, out of the hell storm of Tendrils. The Hakai No Ken was excreting a dark purple aura that increased in intensity until the aura became black and viscous "Slash!" Alastir yelled, slashing his Hakai No Ken in multiple directions, spawning multiple crescent-shaped energy blasts that shot towards The Void's Infini-Tendrils and even towards the Void himself. Alastir's body began to emit a foul energy that was the result of absorbing the power of every star, planet, and nebula in his Galaxy, although it wasn't all the energy in his Galaxy, it was sufficient "Let's see you dance Void!" Alastir laughed, flying headfirst into the void with the black energy swirling around him faster and faster with each passing moment.

"You know I've killed plenty of Gods right? Let's be hoenst here, calling you a God is a bit of a stretch. It's more like Godling. Get it? Cause you're small and weak? I crack myself up sometimes." Void cackled and then howled in pain as several of his tendrils and parts of his body were slashed. "Alright then little man. If you wanna play with the big boys, then you're not allowed to cry when you get hurt. Like this!" He said and used Alex's Molecular powers to Halt Alastir while he grabbed his arms. "Poor guy doesn't even know he has these powers. His brain is all bunged up. Kinda like... This." Void said and attempted to rip Alastir in half vertically.

"Please stay out of my brain. I've got some real personal stuff in there that is personal for a very good reason." The last thing Naja wanted was one of her best friends finding out all of the stuff she and Alex had done. She was going to fly through the window for dramatic effect, but decided to not have to pay another repair bill and opened it instead. When she flew out to the fight, she stopped, unsure of she should let Katie inside of Alex now that he was possessed by the Void. "Um... Katie, I'm gonna ask you before I do this. You can see through my eyes right? Well, Alex looks a little... Unlike himself. And I don't like the tone of his voice. It's less monotone and more crazy."

“Don’t worry. I can’t actually read your mind this way apart from some surface thoughts… well… not yet at least. You don’t have to worry about me rooting around your secrets, even if I could, I wouldn’t.” She remarked. Then she looked through Naja’s eyes. “Huh…” She spoke. “That is kinda odd. And he does seem a lot more bloodthirsty than usual.” She commented, seeing a guy nearly being ripped apart. “I may just have to do it remotely then. I think I should be able to "hack his wires" from in here.
