-it just isn't enough-

-the chanting turns to screaming-

-the being screeches until ears start bleeding-

-Even Merlin's attack, though powerful, is futile, because there simply is no time.-

-Somehow, Omicron, Gogie, and Sholto have devolved into panicked dancing, arts and crafts with body parts, and carrion cake-

Maggie: "...Welp, might as well try this."

-She begins to pray-

"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also Every

Spear Pillar

(The panic turns the nagging doubt in both Vincent and Leon's heads into screaming, writhing terror. As Belinda starts to look faint, the two Eeveelutions abruptly turn around and start clawing viciously at each other, eyes frighteningly dilated.)

(But the third refuses to be affected. Klaus simply stares up at the red Glitch, impassive.)

Klaus: <I swore long ago that I would stare down death without fear. You will not change that, abomination.>

Tastes better on the way back down.

Once we reach post #499975, no one post before Bitters does.

Spear Pillar

-Looking at Maggie-

Well, it worked the first time...

-And also starts praying, accompanied by Ann and both of our teams, using the mantra in an attempt to keep ourselves from going mad-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

-Mezzo, on a whim, decides to throw out Xel'lotath-

Xel'lotath: <You call upon us, and we have arrived.>

Demyx: <Uh, what?>

Mezzo: I figure if this song is gonna drive us insane I might as well bring out the one who enjoys it.

Xel'lotath: <There is never a sound more beautiful than thousands of voices screaming in unison.>

Demyx: <You're creepy.>

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

-A3 have been doing nothing effective, just staying alive.-

-Then Perish Song happens.-

Ashen: ~We stand. And we fight. And we do. Not. Give. In!~ -She discards her crossbow, drawing the Blade of Polaris.-

Ashen: <I really wish I had a great battlecry...> -She charges at Missingno, slashing with her sword.-

-Archimedes fires a Shadow Ball.-

-Argent fires a Psyshock.-

-Siobhan, A3, or Scheherezade may be intereacted with.-

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Phaz: Well, damn. What can we do 'bout the situation?

Volta: <Critic the song!>

Phaz: Good enough. To the Glitch Your taste in music is shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

He throws the sword at the glitch, as an extra dosis of fuck you.

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold? Even at the center of fire, there is cold All that glitters ain't gold

-Ammon and Stark's attempts to attack the glitch in person turn into confused attack that catch eachother off guard-

-Tomohawk dive to pick up Mondo!Rocket, thinking he's a boulder to fling at the pillar. The ditto manages to regain enough sense to shift into the first hard object he can think of to protect himself, which ends up being a cannon ball-

-The real Mondo falls to the ground clutching at his ears as another form shimmers into existance alongside Merlin, a small Clefairy with a leather band around his head and a bow that fires an arrow shaped Moonblast at the Glitch to presumably no effect-

-Mew!Blitz pushes his inexperienced psychic attack until his concentration is broken by the hyper voice. And fearing the worst attempts to teleport his bag of pokeballs back home so at least the baby mon would have a chance to survive-

Okay, so, this is what Dune would have posted here:

Spear Pillar

-The Jaegers are barely standing.-

-The two Ludmilla are clutching their heads, crying into the dirt from pain.-

-The figure in the coat steps forward, his mind long since numbed to the horrors of the deep places in the world.-

-He throws back his hood, revealing a grizzled face, a slightly unkempt beard, and a pair of old, scarred, orange goggles on his forehead.-

-Though the Perish Count is nonlethal on its own, it still stands that a whole crowd of people and Pokemon are collapsing, unconscious, beneath a massive spire of murder. All that matters is that they cannot stop what happens after, and they cannot stop time.-

...

...

...

-Time stops.-

-And begins dialing back rapidly, moment by moment, post by post, until just before the transformation.-

▶▒ A▒: ]And I have just the way to— ...Wait.[

-The glitch, very much not a spire of crimson light, looks around.-

▶▒ A▒: ]No... you should be dying! Why aren't you dying?![

-There is a slam on the door to Mt. Coronet's cavern, which probably wasn't there a moment ago.-

???: SOME—

-A pause, before another slam kicks the door open.-

Palkia: —BODY TOLD ME YOU ALL NEEDED SOME HELP?

Maggie: "Palkia!"

-Sholto, Gogie, and Omicron are now perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened-

-The Dusknoir turns to the other two-

Omicron: <Now let's all agree to never be creative again!>

-Two thumbs up and eyegrin-

Gogie: <...Let's just beat this thing. Work wouldn't be nearly as exhausting at this point.>

Omicron: <Yeah, yeah...>

-The man with the goggles laughs and mumbles something about being late "as always".-

Canalave City, Mid-Pause

Chromie: Aaaaand okay. It's time for your appointment.

Phosphora: What appointment?

Chromie: The one at the battle for reality!

Phosphora: But I'm right here!

Chromie: No you're not. You've been there the whole time.

Spear Pillar

Phosphora: ...

-Phosphora drops her ice cream as the Ludmillas pull themselves off of the ground.-

Phosphora: WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

Spear Pillar

(Belinda, now standing there with three perfectly healthy Eeveelutions at her heel, goggles at the emergence of Palkia.)

Belinda: Is that...

Tastes better on the way back down.

Mezzo: Wait, what?

Xel'lotath: <You called us for this? Disappointing.>

Forte: We went back in time, I think! Quick, we'd better do something before it starts singing again!

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

Spear Pillar

-Jason stares at Palkia-

Oh my Arceus, it's Palkia.

-Beat-

-He finds himself recharged-

-Looks at Belinda-

-Sees toastyness-

Jason:Right then...y'all nearly killed my rivals mon, near killed my girlfriend, nearly killed ALL OF US!

-Forms a MASSIVE STREETSIGN-

Get crushed, Glitch.

-And slams it down on the core-

And again!

-Slam-

AND AGAIN!

-SLAM!-

-Absorbs the sign-

As much as it takes to kill you!

-Charges a LARGE ball of Auta, then blasts it at the core too-

FINAL PRAYER!

-Ever's composure shatters completely-

-he blinks-

-points wordlessly at Palkia-

-and then he recovers-

Ever: ...Been a while.

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Spear Pillar

All characters were here and freaking out in some manner until time turned back.

"What the..." Daydre looks at Palkia in awe... And is mildly concerned that they entered with what might be a Shrek reference.

Spear Pillar

Phaz: Hell yeah, Palkia! Wait, what.

Cynthia: ~Uh... Okay? This isn't a Glitch, right?~

Volta: excited <Who cares?! To Palkia Oh my Arceus Palkia I can't believe you here I'm your biggest fan can you sign me this pleasepleaseplease?>

Spear Pillar

-Having been restored-

Palkia!

Cobalt: <Tagg! Now!>

-Remember how I mentioned that they were praying? I never quite said who they were praying to-

Now to complete the summoning ritual!

-And pokes my hand with my dagger, the blood landing directly in the center of the symbol, which just so happens to be a rather important sigil-

I kinda prefer the Orb, no self-harm for one, but it's not the only method I've got to summon them.

-And the rune glows with turquoise light-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Spear Pillar

Umbra: -binks at the time rewind (as does everyone else)- Palkia!

Dave: It's about time one of you Legendaries showed up!

Contact Me!

-And Mondo, Rocket and Ammon are back where they were, while Mew!Blitz pauses mid floaty flight to figure out why they're not dead and he's still carrying his (oversized for this form) leather shoulder bag containing the pokeballs he was just attempting to teleport. The intern immediately floats closer to the door-

Mew!Blitz: <Palkia, you're here?! Then- wait. Is Dialga here too?>

Spear Pillar

Palkia: SORRY WE'RE LATE, SOMEONE—

-Suddenly, Dialga dramatically appears in the summoning circle-

Dialga: SKREEEEEE!

Palkia: ...DIALGA YOU WERE RIGHT BEHIND ME THAT WAS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY

Dialga: SKREE.

Palkia: WHATEVER! ANYWAY, WE WERE BUSY GATHERING SOME THINGS. AND SOME CAMEOS.

-Palkia is immediately pushed out the door by a number of Legendary Pokemon, including but definitely not limited to the Oblivia Beasts, Ho-oh, Yvan, and any others that anyone else writes and chooses to have show up.-

Entei: <ENTEI HAS HAD AN EXCELLENT TIME SMASHING GLITCH PIECES!>

Ho-oh: <You interrupted the best vacation I've had in Dialga knows how long.>

Dialga: SKREE.

Lugia: <And I was going to join him! I was in the middle of packing for it!>

Palkia: COULDN'T GET SOME OF THE CAMEOS I WAS HOPING FOR, BUT OH WELL.

▶▒ A▒: ]What— no! I thought I blocked all of you off![

Palkia: IT'S NOT THAT EASY. ANYWAY!

-A series of slips of paper — tickets — are floated to anyone and everyone.-

Palkia: CONSIDER THIS YOUR PERMISSION TO BEND SPACE.

Dialga: SKREE.

Palkia: FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T INTERPRET HIM BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW TO SPEAK INTELLIGIBLY BUT REFUSES TO FOR GIGGLES, HE SAID "BUT NOT TIME". SO LEAVE TIME OUT OF THIS. HAVE FUN!

▶▒ A▒: ]YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FUN![

-Ignoring ▶▒ A▒, Dialga and Palkia collaborate to divide this point in the universe into dozens, hundreds, thousands, each centered on the efforts of a different character.-

???: Young lady.

-Both older Ludmilla and Phosphora go straight-backed and slightly paler.-

-The man with the grizzled face goes over and hugs them both close.-

Mr. Galvani-Morton: You both scared me to death.

Phosphora: O-Oh. Oh. Eh. Ehehe. Hi Dad.

Ludmilla: Hello... Dad.

Mr. Galvani-Morton: You two alright?

-They both nod.-

Mr. Galvani-Morton: Good. Grab your teams and get ready.

-He turns and pulls Pokeballs from inside his coat.-

Mr. Galvani-Morton: Oh, and Phosphora? If you're gonna nab my old Key Stone, be sure to put it to good use.

-Phosphora blushes when she remembers that, oh yeah, she did take her father's old bracer with the Key Stone on it.-

-The older man throws out six grizzled and strong Pokemon who look like they've been battling for twenty years.-

-That would be because they have.-

BATTLE IS JOINED! WORLD DEFENDER DEREK "DUNE" GALVANI-MORTON!

-Ren's ticket explodes in a flash of blue,pink, and gold light causing two blonde figures to appear behind Ren. One is a fit young male who is wearing a white fur parka with blue highlights and a Silver Nintales mask. The other is lady who is wearing a form-fitting red and black leather suit and a Litten mask.-

-The man Helps Ren to his feet.-

Male ???: Glad you asked, F— Mister Clavis.

Female ???: Enough talk, Fox. Let's just help.

Male ??? Fox: Yes Tigress... Reynardine!

-Fox puts his left hand on his mask causing blue energy to mask his face as a Were-Ninetales like figure with an Alolan Nintales-themed cape and hood steps into being.-

Female ??? Tigress: Carmen!

-Tigress puts her left hand to her mask causing blue energy to mask her face as a Were-Torra wearing a [Spanish] dress and a corset that reveals a lot of cleavage with two Sawk-shaped emitters tied to to the dress by roses and thorny vines appears.-

Ren: -in thought- More Persona users?!

Fox: We'll need your help Mr. Clavis.

Tigress: Now, Fox... Carmen! Cat's Meow!

-Carmen slings the Sawk-emmiters to the ground and kicks them - causing them to sigh sensually in the process - as she inhales deeply on her cigar. Carmen then kicks the emitters harder causing them to squeal loudly in pleasure and she breathes fire into the soundwaves.-

Fox: -annoyed at being constantly chastised by his counterpart- Alright... Reynardine! Fox's Rain!

-Reynardine's cape flares as he begins to chant conjuring a massive cloud of illusory ice and stone which scatters and flies at the Glitch.-

-Ren offers up a silent prayer of thanks to the Gods for granting this reprieve.-

Ren: Merlin!

-Merlin casts another massive Mystical Fire at the glitch.-
