Golden Freddy woke with a sharp pain in his arm, scowling on the inside, he got up and looked at his arm. Seeing that his hand had fallen off, he started stomping towards the parts and service room, he walked in, grabbed some tools and got to work.

-Le Time skip-

Satisfied with the repairs, he got up and looked around. Sighing, he wondered how the other animatronics were doing, aside from the occasional group of dumb teenagers that were doing dares, he never saw anyone around. Walking out, he started to make his way back to the basement.

As Victoria punched one if the strike team members in the gut the message came over about safe passage. She and Chris stopped their advancement and looked at each other under his helmet Chris gritted his teeth and then jerked his head toward the opposite door and left the room, both had drawn their weapons and slowly backed up towards the door. Victoria then turned and faced the door and opened it slowly before taping Chris shoulder and the two exited. As the two exited they noticed the four foot armored woman drop down, they where about to casually walk over but then a person walked over and started to rough house with her.....in a brutal fashion. The two cautiously walked over to her.

"Hello, are you alright?"

Beginnings
New London Military Academy, 7 years ago

A few months passed by and the seasons began to change, snow was starting to fall through New London. The Academy had closed due to the large amounts of snow fall and for the upcoming winter holidays of Christmas (for the human cultures), Nas Teldum (Dracoian Christmas...kinda there is a large celebration however gifts aren't the main part of celebration it's the people you hold dear), and other winter holidays. As usual Chris was hanging out with Victoria however they weren't at their houses but rather in the park on one of the steeper hills, they where making snowmen, snow forts, snow angels and with some help a small snow igloo (like only one person can't fit into it. As for the two, Victoria was building her next snow man while Chris was making a snowball, after he was done he walked over and tapped Victoria on the shoulder scaring her.

"Nice snowman!"

"Thanks" she said turning her face away from him she was about to continue but then Chris planted the snow ball on the back of her head. Amused she then tackled Chris to the ground and the two rolled down the hill towards the bottom, stopping and now out of breath the laid there panting

"So.....that was fun" replied Chris slowly getting up and then catching some snow to the face as Victoria scoped some up and placed it on her face. "Ah! I guess I deserved that...."

"Yea.....you did" she said giggling they laid there for a an hour just looking up at the sky and talking, it seemed that there was an attraction between the two where too scared to tell the other as they might say no to a date....also it seemed like it wasn't time to express there feelings to each other.

Theta looked at the two with sad eyes, before Aetherus stepped in between them. With a loud snap the 10ft armored being cracked his neck, and looked at the two soldiers with a psychotic smile. His eyes began to glow even brighter, and he quickly grabbed Chris by the neck and lifted him above the ground. Theta began to whimper and curl up into a ball once more, knowing what was about to happen.

"You and your mate get thrown around rag dolls, and you're still confronting me? You're going to regret this, but I certainly won't," he said with a booming voice, dropping the enhanced soldier to the ground.

He began to run around them rapidly, creating a blue blur of shining stardust before fully encasing them in a hollow sphere.

"Please, don't do this to them. They don't deserve it...," Theta begged weakly, with Aetherus's only response being to throw her in there with them.

It went dark for a moment, before turning into a bright white. Then, images began to form, as could loud murmuring. It was like a TV screen, almost. These images turned into Victoria and Chris, and the illusions began to rip at each other. They ripped at each other's flesh, killing each other brutally while screaming in pain. It warped into worse, with Aetherus tearing at and eating a horrified Victoria alive, before vomiting the remains onto Chris. Visions like these continued to come and go for the soldiers, and of course, Theya was treated no better.

"I'M BURNING! HELP ME! MAKE IT STOP!" She cried out loudly, feeling like she was aflame as she saw visions of her time in hell. She was forced to watch her siblings die and revive over and over, and could barely stand the pain. She succumbed to it soon enough, and was quickly nothing but a crying mess on the floor.

Aetherus was laughing maniacally, finding their screams and cries hilarious as he shows no sign of restrain. Unfortunately for him, it was an exhausting process, and he could only keep the sphere of illusions in existence for about 10 minutes before it evaporated. He stopped laughing, and looked over to the soldiers.

"Had enough yet?" he asked, looking ready to swiftly torture them once more.

Secesh continued to shake in anger, letting out a furious growl as he looked his daughter in the eyes. He couldn't help but feel disappointed, but she was still his daughter. He had raised her ever since she was a kid, and even if she wants blood, it didn't matter to him. He would always love her, and never would stop caring for her.

"I can't. I've cared for you and loved you for my entire life, Theresa," With a long sigh, he slowly lowered her to the ground, and sat down on a stump.

"I remember when you were just a baby, all cute and defenseless. I helped raise you, and look at you've become. You are the accomplishment I am most proud of, Terry, and I will never do anything to hurt you," he added sincerely, before sighing once more.

"But when you do these things..I can't help but feel disappointed. I just want to live a happy life with you and your mother, and for just a day, I got to do that. But now...now I'm going to have to wait so much longer to see her again.....," he said, holding his head in his hands.

Terry fell limp to the ground as Secesh let her go. As he continued to cry and held his head in his hands, she slowly picked herself up from the dirt and walked towards him, collapsing near his side and putting her arms around his shoulders.

"I know Vati, I'm sorry....We can go back...we can go back now if you want..." She swallowed, preparing to throw away her plans of continuing her research for his sake. Besides, it's not like she could help any in combating the blight.

However, she remembered that the medallions needed at least a day to recharge...before then, they were stuck in this wretched place. She didn't dare say this, though.

"Let's go back....please Vati, anything to make you happy."

Cascabel wandered around, kicking rocks and watching small lizards scurry from below them. He picked one up and ate it in one gulp.
"You guys done here?" he growled impatiently.

"We weren't confronting you, rather just seeing what was going on" replied Chris as he tried to force his way out of the warriors grip. As he was slammed to the ground his suit computer began to flash warning signals in his helmet warning him of depleted shielding and minor suit damage. Then everything went dark and then the horrid images appeared, he was frighten and disgusted, while at first it didn't kit him as he seen worse on the battlefields it was later when it truest hit him seeing the images of Victoria he began to worry and fell fear. Once the illusions stopped Chris backed away at a mild pace with his rifle drawn, Victoria on the other hand was on the ground and now backing up away from Aetherus. They said nothing and left the two alone, upon their escape the two headed over to the nearby bar and began to fortify it with anything they can find....and started to drink some of the product both to wash out those images and to get rid of their worry.

"Fuck......pass me more of that whiskey" replied Chris as he finished his bottle Victoria passed him more of the whiskey as for her she had a beer in both hands when she fished her first one she would gen move on to the next one. After a few minutes the two stopped their drinking spree and held each other close it seemed like because of that moment their worry for on another grew and hopefully this will cause their relation to grow also. Victoria was now asleep and her head in Chris's chest, slightly buzzed Chris looked around nervously before shaking his head and whispering to himself "It was just an illusion.....it wasn't real.....fucking telepathic dipshit" slowly the images where going away but too slowly.....as he closed his eyes he could see the faces of his lost friends, squad mates, and sometimes family. He is a soldier and so is Victoria, both had seen warfare and death however there was one scene that pops up when stuff like this happens and they was the final moments of his best friend, watching him slowly die in his hands.

Beginnings
New London, 6 years ago

As the new year passed it seemed like the snow wouldn't go away and everyday for a majority of winter break Chris and Victoria where outside in the snow, when they weren't shoveling the drive way they were hanging out and messing around. They sat in a nearby hill and watched as the flurries slowly drifted downward Chris sat back and tried to catch a snowflake on his tongue, Victoria tried and then fell back. Chris chuckled as Victoria got back up with snow on her head she smiled at him as she tried to brush it off.

"Not funny" she pouted

"No it's was pretty funny"

"Ha ha ha" she said

"Now what should we do..." pondered Chris and the two began to list off the stuff they could do without getting in trouble.

A few months later Victoria's birthday rolled around and Victoria had a small party only inviting a few people to hang out. It wasn't really a party to start with as there wasn't really any party elements to it save the cake....there will always be cake. She invited her close friends to it and his parents where quite open to it, seeing as now Victoria was 18 which is the legal age for drinking within the Federation as well as to enlist in the military. The reasoning behind it is that if you are old enough to fight and die you are old enough to drink. Anyway most of her friends where a bit older then him save for Chris who was about the same age as his birthday is a month before her. The two where outside sitting in some chairs with long pants and jackets on after a few minutes Victoria spoke

"So you still remember our deal?"

"The one about prom?"

"Yea, seeing as it's a few months away I just wanted to make sure that you didn't forget."

"Don't worry, I didn't....as I made a note about it on my calendar as well as put a post it on my computer about it." Chris smiled and sipped her beer "That's interesting.....now you want to see what I got you?"

"Sure" she said sitting up Chris then pulled out a small package and handed it to her. She took the package and opened it, inside was a visor a model that she wanted for the longest time but really couldn't find one. Surprised she picked it up and looked at Chris. "You didn't have to get me this...."

"Stop, I got it for you because you always wanted it and I feel that it would suit you best."

"But really.....you didn't have to do it"

"I know. But that is what friends are for" replied Chris, Victoria smiled and tried it on after a few seconds of syncing she then hugged him and said thank you many times.

(NOTE: Yes, I had permission to use Kether this way in the post.)

Cinder glared at Gamicloth. "Don't call me 'daddy's little girl' you freak!" She exclaimed. Cinder was glad to see that her attack had caused some sort of damage to Gamicloth, but the moment it morphed into another mouth she knew things were not going her way anymore. Before she could get away from them, the tentacles spawned from this grotesque opening snatched her up and began squeezing her small frame. She shrieked in pain as her ribs, arms, and legs broke from the stress and the sound made Jacob scream Cinder's name at the top of his lungs.

Asura looked up when he heard Cinder's screams, and he ordered Gamicloth to stop hurting her in a rather angry manner that won't repeat. He began punching the Daeva's shins as hard as he could, with each punch being fueled by his unrelenting rage. He had grown rather fond of the young kitsune during the time he had spent with her, as she reminded him of his own daughter Mithra in some ways. He heard Mithra's own screams on top of Cinders, and soon an enraged roar escaped Asura's mouth as he struck Gamicloth repeatedly to no avail.

"Stop! Stop it! Stop!" Jacob begged Gamicloth while Cinder continued to wail. Gamicloth's taunting and reminding him of Clairus only further enraged the old half-blood, and Jephet would find that it was entirely unnecessary to create a rift, as Jacob was already out the window and on Gamicloth's shoulder within seconds. With a scream of anger he slammed his staff inside the mouth, causing an incredibly strong shock wave to shatter every tooth inside it, while also ripping the tentacles to pieces. Slime covered Jacob's face and armor, but he didn't care.

Jacob grabbed his broken daughter and then jumped through Jephet's rift before Gamicloth could react. Remarkably, Cinder was still conscious, but it would have been a mercy if she were not. The poor girl was still screaming in pain as every bone in her body screamed with her, making Jacob cry at the sight and sound. "Oh Little Kit... why couldn't you have just stayed put?" He asked her, stroking her ear softly as she too began to sob. "Dad... I'm sorry..." She moaned out.

Jacob quickly took Jephet's potion and brought it to his screaming daughter's lips. "Just drink this Little Kit, it's okay." He told her as she took several sips from the bottle. Then once Gamicloth revealed his new ability, Jacob realized that there was no hope of stopping Gamicloth. This can't happen... but it's going to. Gamicloth's going to kill us... Jacob thought as he cradled his suffering daughter. Asura in the meantime had immediatly stopped attacking Gamicloth after he revealed his trick, and was now looking up at Gamicloth with rage in his eyes.

"So, you're using powers like this to earn victory?! You coward!" He yelled at the Daeva. Asura couldn't risk attacking, but he needed to. Otherwise Gamicloth would murder them all, and all the suffering they had gone though would have been for nothing. It will not end this way... I will not let it! Asura thought. The problem was however; Asura had no clue how he could stop him. His answer suddenly came to him though, because he soon saw images flash in front of him, showing him an artifact of immeasurable power radiating before him and filling him with light.

Mood music

Asura had no clue what was causing this vision, but one look at Kether revealed that it was the Archon showing him this in his mind. Asura wasn't entirely sure what the visions meant, but he nodded at Kether all the same. The Archon then waved his hand in the air, calling forth a glowing object. It appeared to be a floating cross with two rotating rings floating around it, and the artifact gave off an aura of immense power. Suddenly, the object began to radiate waves of energy from its rings, which struck Asura and began to fill him with a new power.

It hurt, but Asura could also feel his strength rising with each wave. He turned to Gamicloth as his arms began glowing brightly. "Gamicloth! This time, you won't survive me!" Asura yelled at the Daeva. Then with a scream of rage, bursts of light erupted from Asura's arms. Asura's arms were now much larger than they once were, and a strange floating ring was behind him. His body gave off a pulsing light that seemed to make the very fabric of reality around him quiver in fear, and his eyes were suddenly filled with a calm and powerful light.

This was no longer the Asura that Gamicloth knew, this was Zohar Asura. Asura clenched his now massive fists, and then jumped at Gamicloth while letting out a massive war cry that shook the entire planet. Asura's fist connected with Gamicloth, causing his huge frame to vibrate. He punched him again, and strange lights flashed throughout his body. Asura continued to deliver planet-shattering punches on the Daeva, and suddenly, several glowing spheres flew out of Gamicloth's body, only to fly back inside of it again. Asura kept punching him, and the spheres continuously flew out and in again and again, causing strange purple and glowing shards to fly out of Gamicloth as well.

The spheres themselves were also starting to shatter, as cracks were beginning to form on their surface with every strike delivered by Asura. What the heroes couldn't see happening, was that each punch was causing the spheres absorbed by Gamicloth to separate from his very soul, which damaged it in the process. The spheres were stubbornly hanging on to Gamicloth's soul however, and so Gamicloth would find that his own immense power was quickly becoming his final undoing. "No more running! No more hiding! Gamicloth, YOU'RE MINE! DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" Asura screamed as his punches flew faster and faster.

The Daeva payed no mind to Jacob's little rescue since it meant little in the long run, those two will perish once the demi-god that was being annoying was squashed like the pathetic incest that he is and he made sure the Archons were well and truly gone. "Well Asura it was... an experience... Meeting with you again, but I believe our time together is over. I think your family is waiting for you in another dimension if you catch my drift. So lay down your last pathetic punches and I will send you packing to the afterlife." The Daeva said, seemingly ignoring all of the damage being down to him as it went to the ship everyone was in. Everyone on board the ship can hear the metal screeching as tremendous force was applied to the hull, close to where Jacob was he would see a fist imprint on the floor.

Marie was still healing from her injuries and was still unconscious while the angel stayed by the two half bloods while the father healed his daughter. When Asura insulted Gamicloth he laughed. "Being pragmatic and smart isn't cowardice Asura but a roid rage meathead like you won't understand that since you still cling to made up notions like honor. Let me tell you something Asura. There is no honor out in the battlefield. There is only cunning, blood shed, tactics, and resolve to finish a fight to its bloody conclusion. You can still say you're more of a man than me because he punch things very, very, very hard but I will still be here living, laughing at your corpse."

The Daeva was ready to finally bring an end to Asura once and for all but before he could he felt once more a familiar power coming from the Archon and when he saw the object appear before him the Daeva backed away. "No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!" The Daeva screamed out as the energy waves came out from Kether and the Zohar, increasing Asura's power. "You are not gonna pull this Deus Ex Machina Bullshit on me! I will have my revenge Kether!" Gamicloth summoned his twin swords and was going to charge Kether when suddenly he was thrown back by Asura's punch which flung the spheres out of his being, the Daeva screaming in pain as his very soul was shattered and several pieces flew out.

As Asura repeated the blows the pain kept Kether paralyzed on the spot as more of his soul fragments flew off. The Daeva can feel his power fading fast with each blow, the connection to the spheres was breaking with each blow dealt to him. Just as Asura delivered several more blows the Daeva screamed and unleash a blast of rippling kinetic energy. Gamicloth stabbed the ground with his twin sword and was leaning heavily on them as he was breathing heavily, behind him was many pieces that belonged to his blacken soul.

"The Zohar... How?..." Kether began to float down to the ground, he too seemingly exhausted. "That is a secret I will take with me to my grave Deava." As Kether saw Gamicloth about to lunge forward he unleash another energy wave and this time it send Gamicloth flying away, the Daeva rolled on the ground once he made contact on the metal earth. Kether began to hover slightly off the ground as he weakly held on to the sword, his own energy rapidly depleting quickly. Yet if one was to look carefully or posses the extra sensory abilities to do so they would realize that it wasn't just his powers that were fading but his very life essence as well.

Gamicloth got up and wobbled for a bit but eventually became steady on his feet. "For so many years my kind lived under the shadow of the Archons. Are only existence is to make yours and the rest of your slaves and puppets look righteous. We both know that your kind is about as pure and righteous as these filthy monkeys and freaks that use to walk on these ruins." The Daeva shouted as he walked to the Archon.

"I will concede that you are right on that one Daeva. Our righteous did came because your kind was made to be our shadow, our adversaries. But you are forgetting something, you and me are both part concepts. You claims to be the ruler of all yet here you are playing out the concept you were made to represent. Fear" The Archon took a stance as he watch his opponent getting closer.

"You think that somehow you have transcended past what you are. That you are somehow broken free from the commands of our creator. You may have survived the destruction of the Illusion and survived where many of our kind has perished but you are still the Daeva of fear. If you think somehow you were free from the creator's will then insanity must of blinded you to the truth Gamicloth." The Daeva stopped. Not only did the words made Gamicloth stopped but hearing his name being uttered by the Archons after all this time was enough to make him stop out of sheer shock on hearing the former Divine King finally call him by his name.

"It's funny. I figure the final fight between Archons and Daevas would be a grand epic but look at us, a bunch of broken down, barely living or mad stricken, pitiful shadows of our former glory. We had such great powers and options to live out our lives since we were free from the Illusion yet look what we have done with our new found freedom, keep our old rivalry alive." The Archon let out a harsh chuckle. "I wonder if the Illusion and everything related to it, including our creator's will, truly died when the Gnosis verse fell or were we keeping it all alive within us all this time? If that was the case than we were never truly free from that world nor from the illusion nor from the creator's final will."

The final words made something snap within Gamicloth has he began to scream like a wild animal as he charged straight towards Kether with one blade coated in ebony flames and the other in smokey darkness. The dark power as a Daeva surrounded the being after so many years of relying the spheres just as Kether began to use his almost neglected powers as an Archon due to use the Zohar to supply both his power and life force. The two beings clashed blades again but were as before the clashing of blades was so quick that no one can follow this time it was much slower and more easy to see each blow as the two gods were conserving whatever power they have left in their systems.

"It's...it's fine," he said with a sigh, slowly raising his body up.

"No...I trust you. If you came back here, you must have had a good reason. Tell me, sweetheart, why did you come here? If it's for one last adventure, I guess we can go ahead and go through with it. Just don't ever do anything like this again," he requested, putting his large hand over her shoulder. Meanwhile, he just glared at Cascabel.

Terry kept on holding onto Secesh and looked up at him.
"I...I want to find my lab. Maybe there's still a way I can research the blight and find a way to slow down its growth. I mean, sure we had a happy ending in store for us, but it was not fair to live our lives there when we could still have the possibility of helping people over here."

Cascabel groaned. "This place is going to kill us. I can just tell."

Daniel and Maria simply waited as the chaos began to unfold. "Mortals" Daniel said to Maria "No need to get involved in this squabble at the present.". Maria nodded her head but both were also confused at the dress of this so called strike team. They wore armor that looked nothing like they knew and their weapons seemed to be of strange design. The two watched the one sided fight the occurred between the strike team and the two NEF soldiers.

"They are quite skilled." observed Maria before letting out a sigh "I feel like we haven't really let loose in awhile.".

Daniel nodded in response "Not since the siege of Porter I don't think. You smelled like the backend of a cow for a week after that."

His unwelcome comment was met by a strong punch to the shoulder and a glare. Both shifted into a battle stance as the intercom message boomed over the area. "What god or goddess is that?" They both said at the same time as voices from the sky usually meant a god would appear to them.

They went back into a casual stance as they saw the two soldiers retreat and allow the strike team to leave. "Whatever god that was, they must be on the thing over there." said Maria pointing at the enterprise outside the windows.

"Can't argue with that observation." returned Daniel putting the butt of his rifle to the ground.

The relaxed state was broken as a armored being appeared from nothing and the demonic bird that was trapped escaped the bubble shifting into a 10 ft tall armored being. The demonic being then proceeded to pretty much sucker punch the smaller armored being even though he said that he raised her.

"Ugh god, and a f*cken sadistic one at that. Why can we never escape divine beings Maria?" Daniel asked Maria with his emotions shown on his face. She didn't answer, merely moving her scythe to a ready position as Daniel did the same to his rifle. Would Hearthian metal be able to wound a divine being that seemed to not be of their world?

The two NEF soldiers tried to approach the smaller armored being who remained against the wall she was punched into only to be caught by the demonic bird and shown as horrors as far as the two could tell. Once the two NEF soldiers escaped, the retreated to the bar and seemed to try and fortify themselves there. "Are they really trying to fortify themselves against a divine being? You never want to give them a static target." Said Daniel as he watched their actions before he returned attention to the former demonic bird.

Julian turned to Aestus, trying to hide her concern.
"Oh? Nothing's wrong. I just thought I saw someone walk past the window. They're probably just a solicitor or something." She poured some more tea into Aestus's cup.

"My house is pretty secure. No one can get in that easily."

However, her ears pricked as she picked up muttering coming outside from the basement.
She had forgotten to close the underground fire escape.

A loud crash sounded from below as glass shattered from the Basement window. People's footsteps started to sound under the floor as Julian sprung up from her seat.
"We need to go...Friday...Where is she? Take her brother and get outside." She looked at Aestus and ran towards the stairs.

(I'm just going to say her clothes are dry-ish now)

Friday had been poking around upstairs after she finished her shower, hoping to gather any kind of infomation. She hadn't gone far, however, when the sound of breaking glass startled her.
Sensing that it was something bad, she hurried back downstairs, her brother waking up as soon as she was down. She picked up his loincloth again and he transformed into a tiger, going into a battle stance and standing protectively in front of Friday.

Aestus's fish were quick to gather behind him, peeking from the cracks of his massive shoulder pauldrons to see what was going. The well armored Lesser God swiftly grabbed his massive axe, and held it defensively. He had thought that someone would be coming after her, but he never would've guessed they would have arrived this soon.

"These people seem to want you really badly. I want allow you to take them, though," Aestus stated, trying to comfort Jules as he followed her to the stairs.

"There are you are come on, let's go outside. I don't want to fight anyone today, but if I need to, I'm not afraid to kill any of these people," Aestus remarked, looking at Friday as he held Jules by the hand and rushed towards the front door. His fish swiftly followed behind, easily keeping up with him.

Julian nodded and grabbed Friday and her brother, leading them to the door.
"I don't want to kill anyone either. Let's get out of here."

The armed people realized they were trying to escape, and charged at the group. One fired their gun and hit Julian straight in the shoulder, causing blood to spurt out. The doctor grunted in pain, trying to shrug off the hit and grabbing the doorknob, opening the door and stumbling out. However, it seemed as if their captors were prepared for this type of escape as more rushed out from behind a few trees on the street in front of the small group.

"Shit! I shouldn't have left that escape locked... this wouldn't happen." She tried to look for openings they could probably run through in the wall of enemies.

"Over here, come on." Julian pulled Friday and her brother to the right, hoping to get out of the surroundment. "Aestus come on!"

She wouldn't get so far before She was knocked to the ground by a crowbar-brandishing attacker. The man then raised it again, running to attack Friday.

“Guys, if you aren’t aware, Infinity is going to take away our free will if plan B is enacted, and turn us into his toys once he is 100% Ancient One.” Lego Batman honestly told Tadayoshi and Elizabeth. “We’re admitting defeat and that’s a chance I won’t allow. Here’s the real plan B: I’ll rally up the false stealth team and make our way to the Coliseum to make sure the job is done. We’re not leaving until this is all over. Is that crystal clear?”

Calem slowly nodded in agreement with LEGO Batman, but carefully stared at Elizabeth. “You sure this is the right call Elizabeth? My gut feeling is telling me you're making a big mistake. I know this is Octavius and all, but his void powers could help us win this fight quicker. The Void Cloak is a gamble, but I prefer not seeing my Serena harmed by that madman, and the others end up dead.”

Serena found herself confused on why Octavius left when the Zodiacs arrived in the scene. As if he was either afraid of them, his enemies, or something else was behind it. Not sure which! “Now that Octavius disappeared before we make another ‘deal’, we have do our best Calem.” Serena, who was concerned about Elizabeth’s choice, looked at her in the eyes. “I hope your abilities can do the job Ellie. Just relax and you would do just fine.”

“Unfortunately, we have to endure a few more dreadful moments.” Alice grimaced at the group. “Beating him is one goal, another is to survive his torment.”

Meanwhile back at where Calyx was at, and explained his feelings, Selene frowned. “Yeah, kinda the same with me.” Selene chuckled uneasily. “When I became some wicked killer, I went nuts and enjoyed it. Although, I had an anchor to stop me from going wild.” she pondered for a moment. “Look bud, I know our time been short and crazy, but I’m here for you.”

When Serena was led to the place to talk with Mata Nui, she nodded in agreement. “Of course sir. We’re just about ready to make our move about now.”

Ignis and Quetz proceeded to go to the bridge as they were approaching Mata Nui. Konny Kept by Calyx's side. When Frucc came, Konny's face cocked at the sight of the small Matoran.

"Hello, and who are you? You were the one found in Calyx, correct?" she asked him.

Ignis looked out from the bridge.
"Zhis better have a good ending...zhis adventure could go wrong so many vays."

Quetz merely stared out at the scenery before them. "Even though a happy ending is most desirable, it just doesn't happen sometimes. You can't help it."

She sighed as her Pokemon gathered around her, preparing for the final battle. "I haven't been showing it much, but..."

"But what?"

"Zhe shade's been calling me again. It alvays does zhat in meine sleep. I'm afraid..."

Terry kept on holding onto Secesh and looked up at him.
"I...I want to find my lab. Maybe there's still a way I can research the blight and find a way to slow down its growth. I mean, sure we had a happy ending in store for us, but it was not fair to live our lives there when we could still have the possibility of helping people over here."

Cascabel groaned. "This place is going to kill us. I can just tell."

Yunnan

"I know you're smart Terry, you've always been my little bookworm. But I'm not sure that the blight can even be stopped....," he said with a remorseful sigh. The terror of the blight seemed hopeless to stop, so he just spent his decades hiding and trying to find Ignis and Terry. He just cared for himself and his family, and never thought of doing anything more.

"I know, Terry, but it's not selfish to want a happy ending for yourself. If we let them into that other world, we risk bringing the blight into it. Even if we check them, even if we make it super elaborate, there's always a risk. I'm not willing to take that risk."

Kongou

"No. To be more precise, I'm the god who got stuck," Frucc replied arrogantly.

"I guess I know it wasn't my fault, but I still feel bad about it. Just leave me be for now, I'll be ok," Calyx requested.

sorry for the short post

Terry nodded at Secesh understandingly.
"I guess so...I never thought of that before hand." She started to chuckle bitterly. "I guess I'm more like Mom than I know."

She picked up the medallion.
"But...Konny said it needed at least a day to recharge in order to work properly. Until then, we're stuck-"
"Stuck!? Stuck!" Cascabel groaned, collapsing on his back. "Fuck you, Terry. Now we'll probably get eaten by this 'blight' thing before that old gadget even charges up!"

Terry merely stared at him, annoyed. "I wasn't done talking, Crapsabel. Now, Vati has the other medallion so we shouldn't worry, don't you, Vati?"

Kongou
"You-you sure?" Konny looked up at Calyx, still concerned about him. "Loneliness might only further damage your mental state."

"Now's our chance!" James shouted out. He was tired of waiting. Now it was time to end this once and for all. No more twists or surprises, just his sword and Gamicloth's chest.

"I agree. It is time we bring the fight back to the Daeva!" His future self concurred.

"Let's get this over with" Damian added, summoning a blade of his own. The three swordsman then together teleported out of the building and around Gamicloth.

"Now!"

The three then began their all-out attack, teleporting next to Gamicloth, delivering a swift strike, then teleporting somewhere else on the Daeva to strike again. Over and over again, Gamicloth was slashed and stabbed. Once they were finished, the two James returned to the building, but Damian remained. He charged a fireball between his hands, and it grew to a size mich larger than himself. There wa something special about it, though. Damian was not aware, but the spell had some light magic imbued into it, giving the flames a golden white glow.

"This is for my mother you son of a bitch!" The Halfblood then launched the massive fireball at Gamicloth, burning everything in its path.

Galactica strike team

When commander ford came to, he was being carried down a maintennence corridor towards the hangar. He weakly asked the person carrying them "what the frak happened"? the soldier replied, "we got beaten up by soldiers, that's what". He started to drift back into unconcsousness...

Raptor 12

The pilot let out a sigh of relief when he saw the soldiers come running. Quickly, they got in the raptors and took off.

Galactica CIC
A collective sigh swept across the ship when the strike team returned. The ship went out of condition one, turrets and missiles were disarmed and moved back into place, and the vipers were called back into the hangar pods, which then retracted.

“Serena.” Yoko called for the young champion on the bridge. “Mind if you have a moment?”

“Sure.” Serena answered.

The older kitsune took a long deep breath, seeing how what comes next might be strange for everyone, and sighed. “Kid, I’m not sure why you spared me from what I done to those cultists back there. Sure, I was a servant to some evil counter of Touko’s brother, however, not sure why I desire to live. Frankly, I’m a malevolent monster and a jerk. Yet I’m a good mother to my kit.” Yoko raised an eyebrow. “I suppose you saw something in that kid?”

“Mhmm.” Serena replied. “Given what I know about you so far, I can tell you were forced to be in a situation you never wanted to be apart and want your child to be safe. It’s quite sickening to see people be apart of a maniac mad god who will ruin their lives. I don’t want false hope to be given and played by Infinity. So, I had to save you and the others from such fate.”

Serena carefully examined the kitsune. Who knows how many other acts Yoko committed before Serena and the others met each other. There was a friend of hers that died because of an evil twin of Touya, or so. “Well, I believe you can be redeemed and change after all of this Yoko. You just have to try.”

Yoko lowered her head, ears folded down, as she darted her eyes away. “I could atone for all the sins I done in my life. Probably a laundry list to be frank.” She puffed. “Maybe helping you stop Infinity may help? Although to be honest, I better make sure my daughter is safe and get the other cultists out of this universe.”

“Alright, but you better make they return home.” Serena said.

“Won’t be easy kid.” Yoko admitted. Who knows how many cultist will be pissed after Infinity is dead.

The biggest question in the panicking young girl’s mind is what the flying fuck is going on!? Rosa screamed loudly, as if to deliver her own ear piercing shriek, when Cinder returned, almost dead. The second fact of horror is when all the divine attacks her family did was used right back at Marie, sending her unconscious and Victoria almost disappearing from existence. “Oh come on! Why does this have to work like Back to the Future?” Rosa whined. Rosa quickly run away to a corner when the ship was hit. There is no hope! Everyone is screwed and no one can come back.

All she did was hide away from the action, back against a wall in a pathetic corner, and cry. Nothing was right at all. Heck, when the whole Zohar jazz happened outside, it seemed to be too good to be true. Right out of the left field in fact. Wait what?

Rosa sniffed as she peaked out to see what the hell is going on now!? “Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttt?!” She quickly found a window to hop towards and hit herself on the glass. Rosa then SMASH the window with her telekinetic powers, and took flight towards the scene. All awhile, Lillia and Diancie join into badgering Rosa about breaking the freaking window as they flew together to battle. Blissey panicked over this as she was tending over Cinder's wounds.

When Kether told the revelation of this final battle became something like two old men slicing each other with swords from their former good old days, Serena knew this is it. This was the day she pushed forward. Her determination and will to keep on fighting to save the multiverse is almost done. She gave Gamicloth a cold scowl. “For all the atrocious and crimes you committed to the multiverse was simply to save yourself from a cruel fate placed upon by your creator. For such a pitiful and pathetic creature, you earn no sympathy from me."

Serena wielded her Tiare up high, charging the light of universe to concrete in a powerful attack. Camille didn’t waste no time, and unleashed a barrage storm of light rays and holy blasts at Gamicloth. “This is for everyone you took away from us Frisk, Papyrus, Aja, Cade, Elizabeth, Clairus, Marie, everyone!!” Camille said.

Rosa quickly joined in. “This is for Earth and ruining my life! Lillia, Diancie, let’s finish him!” Rosa quickly swirled out of control to release pink killer love heart orbs to strike Gamicloth. Lillia and Diancie combined their attacks to unleash a double hyper beam of death at Gamicloth. Blake joined in to shoot him, and Suriel casted sarced fireballs at Gamicloth. Even the Future Saturn join in with the resistance fleet to bombard Gamicloth with everything they got.

"Silverlight Halation!" Twirling light beams swiftly strike onto Gamicloth as the power from Serena’s Tiara unleashes its full assault of a light beams of love rained down the tube to destroy him once and for all. Hilariously, Blissey escaped the ship to follow up by

He looked at her, concerned.

Before the man could reach Friday, her brother, as a tiger still, jumped on him, knocking him over.
The man's screams soon stopped as the tiger gouged into his chest, blood and muscle scattering the floor.
Friday chuckled, pulling on a glove she had in her pocket. As her brother stepped away, she reached inside the mauled corpse and, using a small knife, took out his heart.
Staring at it for a few moments, she then deposited it in a plastic bag before she put it in a smaller metal box.. It fit impossibly.
Then, that box went into a pocket.

Friday tore off the glove, and clapped her hands. "Okay! Let's continue escaping."

Aestus looked stunned by the ferocity of Friday's brother. He should've expected it, though, it was common in nature. It was just something so rare to see amongst humans. But, it looked as if he would be doing the same today. Looking at another one of the men, Aestus swiftly threw an odd, sparkling spray their way. It was specially evolved microscopic plankton, which would steal the man's oxygen and cause him to swiftly die of oxygen deprivation. As the man began to become blue, Aestus threw his manta ray axe at another man. It became more organic and less stiff, and continued to fly over to the man before impaling him in the chest with massive amounts of sea wasp venom. Of course, the man died quickly. Despite his weapon being an axe, Aestus disliked forms of combat that involved mutilation, and would only use his axe if necessary.

"You ok?" Aestus called to the others, grabbing his axe as it stiffened once more and flew into his hand.

"Yeah....I guess you are," Secesh said, letting out a longing sigh. She was right on that, which was yet another reason he couldn't stay mad at her for long.

"Yes, I have the medallion. I'm confident we can survive one more day, I spent several decades like this," Secesh said, letting out yet another sign as he remembered the many adventures of his decades long quest.

Long ago....

Secesh had been to many worlds in his travels, but amongst the most unique experiences would have been the planet known as Clarkii IV. It was populated by an advanced race of aliens, who had offered to grant Secesh guaranteed immortality, living for all eternity in a simulation. It would have simulated everything he had ever wanted, yet, he declined.

"But you will feel as if you are by her side, what difference does it make if it's real or not? If you continue your quest, you will most likely die," The purple mechanoid asked, rather confused by the man's reaction.

Secesh let out a small chuckle, then began to explain himself.
"All of this advanced science, and you can't see it, can you? It doesn't matter if it feels like I'm at her side, what matters is that I'm actually there. Actually there to make her happy, actually there to help her when she needs me. And in return, she makes me happy, and she's there to help me when I need her. I'd rather die looking for that sort of satisfaction than live the rest of eternity as a pathetic husk who lived his entire life in a dream," he replied.

"You humans are quite bizarre, but I suppose your dedication is admirable. Would you like to be teleported to a random Earth, then?" The alien asked, preparing a small lever.

Secesh merely nodded, and was then teleported away to continue his travels across the multiverse.

Friday grinned as Aestus removed the two from the playing field. "Niiiiiice!" She whistled.
Bringing out the box again, she pressed a button under it, causing it to transform into a small drone with two arms under it.
From now on, it would take the hearts of every person they killed and carefully put it inside itself.
Friday watched it as it picked up the next two hearts and nodded. "Good..."

Julian staggered up, grunting as her side ached from the crowbar hit.
"Come on!" She took Friday and her brother by their hands and made it through a break in their attackers' forces. "Aestus, come on!"

The attackers scattered away from Aestus and Friday as their own people were killed. One of them pulled out a phone to call for backup.

She started to gather wood for the fire. "And Cascabel, you can use your fire to start it."
