(the scene opens with Rika suiting up, to the tune of this song
)
Rika: I'm not going to let this fanfic break me. (grabs some sake) I've survived worse. I've dealt with worse.
(she wears fingerless gloves, a flowing white dress similar to that of a familiar Magical Girl, boots with wings, and a white headband with the Red Lightspeed Ranger's helmet insignia on it. After the girl's suited up, she faces her tablet, a fierce look in her eyes)
BRING IT ON!
So, previously. Beast Boy becomes a witch a Phantom Count Logan, fuelled by hatred. And all it took for him was to die. And in this world, where happiness and logic goes to die, the Titans also realize that Tameran's in trouble.
So let's continue on with...
Chapter 4: The End of Tameran! Good God, Spoil Much?
The chapter begins with our heroes arriving at Starfire's home planet. And with more creepy-ass—and admittedly kinda awesome—music, they would ask what the deal was, but it turns out that there are more black holes. Yes, the Void's everywhere, but this time, it's not only enormous, but it's more of a fucking eyesore of a shitty photoshop/special effect.
Galfore fears that Tameran is at the end of its life, for the Void is sucking the planet in it. The heroes realize that the Void's real, but what can they do about it? And just when you think things can't possibly get any worse, enter the mooks again.
Oh, and they can somehow survive breathing in space. I presume it's by the same way the Power Rangers and Batman do it.
The mooks discuss their master's plans. Which is...Tameran will be the first planet to go. And he doesn't give a shit how it's done. Of course, Dr. Beljar states that the more chaos they create, the more the Void would grow. So...yeah, it's powered by chaos instead of, say, despair.
Meanwhile, Tameran is in more peril. The heroes look, and there they find the mooks doing what they do best. (Also, gotta love how Sir Vile has a period next to the "sir" part.) You guessed it, it makes the Void grow larger.
As the mooks continue to bring chaos, the heroes try to stop them. As usual, the villains mock them, and Medeva also points out that the Doom Patrol has also arrived to get their asses kicked. After some back-and-forth banter, the fight starts.
Guess how well that ends.
(in the fluffy cloud heaven, the Phantom Ranger arrives with the rest of the Legendary Rangers. Mako, Xander, Tori, and Dan are shocked to see Catherine. Mao...not so much. Eventually, their shock wears off)
Mao: So you may have information on Mykan? Hopefully it'll be useful!
Catherine: It's just speculation at this point, but given my past experiences with Author Avatars and the like...it's likely.
Xander: Author...Avatars?
Catherine: That's right. You remember when I said that I was in several missions where foes wanted to change reality? One required the Author Avatars to be captured so they would power a strong weapon.
The other was when a particularly strong Author Avatar wanted some of the wishes reversed, and we would be written out of reality. I was one of the targets.
...
(she pauses as she sees the surprised reactions of her allies)
Mao: Holy shit...
Dan: So some mad people wanted to rewrite reality? Didn't we already do this?
Mako: Yeah...
Mao: On one hand, yeah, we faced that back in Japan. But from what's going on...I think what happened back there, coupled with our friends' disappearance...I think it's part of a larger plot.
Tori: Well, I really hope that's wrong, because who would go that far to do this? To break us?
Catherine: It takes a certain type of madman, a dark-hearted Author Avatar, to do this sort of thing. Hell...I'm not sure if I can even consider Mykan an Author Avatar at this point.
Legendary Rangers: WHAT?!
(Catherine exhales, and she starts to tell the story of the Writer arc...)
Rika: To answer the question earlier on, even as a team, the Titans and the Doom Patrol end up getting their asses mercilessly kicked. And so, we get a montage of exactly that, with QUALITY-level photoshop work.
Galfore can't stand to see it, and so he tries to help out in the fight. But when he does, he ends up getting vaporized into ashes...I guess. I'd think that he was shattered into pieces. Still, as expected, it's a Family-Unfriendly Death.
Starfire cries out her godfather's name, and just when things can't get any fucking bleaker, Mykan manages to find a way. The Void has grown bigger to the point where it just destroys Tameran. And all the people, except for the heroes and villains, also get shattered. Also, get this, even after Tameran is blown up, it's still sucked into the Void, anyway.
...how the hell can you suck an exploded planet, when there's nothing left?
So Starfire cries out a Big "NO!", realizing that her home planet, as the title says, is gone. Meanwhile, Count Logan laughs and gloats over the victory. Yeah...
Sir Vile admits that their only mistake was that they let the heroes escape, but the Count tells them that, eventually, they can't escape. And Dr. Beljar agrees, which makes the other mooks take notice on how smug he's becoming. Wait...what? Where was that indication?
You know what, screw it, we're almost done with this chapter!
Dr. Beljar dismisses it, saying that machines like him don't get smug. Technically, dude, you're a cyborg kid scientist. Is this going to be similar to the other story I liveblogged, where they couldn't keep straight as to whether or not Davis was a cyborg, android, or robot?
Regardless, the mooks aren't buying it. Shock of shocks. They have a feeling that Dr. Beljar may be up to something they don't know. And so, our chapter ends with Count Logan dismissing the group, saying that they have other worlds to destroy. Also, should they decide to target Earth, they're instructed to, you guessed it, leave Terra alone.
As the mooks disappear, Dr. Beljar thinks about "accidentally" executing the Count first, and no one has any idea what he has planned. Because hey, why not play the Megatron/Starscream-esque betrayal for all its worth?! And another "all worlds will be destroyed!" bullshit from the Count.
Yeah, if you can't tell? EVERYONE'S FUCKING ONE-NOTE. Not only are our heroes blamed for shit they didn't do, but the villains go "muh-ha-ha"ing at every opportunity. And the doctor himself is trying to fulfill the "backstabber" role.
- Count Logan: "No one can stop the prophecy. Not even me!"
...WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!
And we end with some faux-poetic bullcrap from our main villain. Where no one can calm the tempest in his heart. Not even Terra. Gag me with a fucking spoon.
So that's it for Part 4! What other worlds will be destroyed next? How will our heroes recover from this problem? And what does the Count want with Terra?
