He awkwardly but goodnaturedly laughs.
"Heh, that's alright. I was like that myself too when I was a kid. How many times I've caused my brother to fall on the ground back then..."
He smiles, but then he seems to think of something.
"You know... if there's one piece of advice that may be helpful, it's this. Don't be afraid to show that you're not happy. It's a good thing to smile, but don't force yourself to do it all the time. Allow yourself to be displeased, sad, angry, and any other emotion you feel at that moment. Of course there's limits to how intense your showing of emotions should be, but don't bottle it all up."
A hint of sadness is visible in his eyes.
"Trust me, pretending that you're alright all the time is not a healthy way of life. I speak from experience. I know it's not easy for a shy person to do that, because my best friend is a shy person himself. But I think it'll make you more confident and happy if you allow yourself to act natural."
The sadness disappears.
"I know I'm happier now."
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.wyvern!Megan took to air with a speed that seemed improbable for her current form. She flew in a flat circle, gaining speed before flying directly at Derak. A plume of blindingly-hot fire shot from her maw as she dove at the God of Nihilism. From there, she intended to combo into a flurry of wing-claw strikes and tail swipes her poison-barbed tail.
"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalousTaako walks up to Vegeta. "Good gods, Veggietales, are you ever gonna fire that thing? They... kinda need it. ... Fine. Try this!"
Taako points the Umbra Staff at Vegeta and casts Haste
, greatly accelerating the rate at which his energy is building up for the Final Flash... whether he wanted the help or not.
Kirby, Amaterasu, and Domon all put their full power into the blast, making the beam wide enough to dwarf Derak's!
—
Derak chuckles and stands his ground, even as all four of his immediate targets bolster their own power to the max and all of his other enemies rain down blow after mighty blow on him. He doesn't bother to flinch nor even acknowledge the attacks, just letting them hit him and then slowly healing the injuries without budging so much as an inch from his spot.
He gathers Energy of Destruction in his free hand, then puts it forward beside his blasting hand, infusing the energy into his blast, making it equally wide to the attack of Team Star Allies! Then, the glow in his eyes turns red and a hole opens up in his body as he fires additional waves of negative energy in the form of Laser Eyes and a torso blast akin to Iron Man's Unibeam! He's rapidly overtaking them now!
Taako turns toward Derak. "You know what, asshole?" He once again holds out the Philosopher's Stone. "Nonexistence is a better fate than you deserve." Taako taps the Philosopher's Stone to the ground, and Derak suddenly feels his footing starting to give out as the Inverted Earth around him turns to a 20-foot-radius circle of obsidian - a black glass that's extremely brittle, and ridiculously sharp.
Naturally, Derak's feet dig into the ground and are immediately pierced by hundreds of obsidian slivers, making him falter - though not for long enough to have an effect.
"Drink it in, bitch! Know that your fate was just sealed by a gay, shitty wizard elf and a spiky-haired Napoleon complex! Abra-ca-fuck you!"
Taako waits until Vegeta fires his Final Flash. When that happens, he will cast Prismatic Spray
at the same time.
He get the boost, seeing the wounded Cabba seems to inspire something within him !
"Cabba is wounded... and if this guy succeed, my family and my home will die !" he says. "I won't... I CAN'T ALLOW THIS !" he says, his muscles bulking up as his aura increase his size. The rage boost awakened the mighty form of Super Saiyan Evolution !
"RAGH !" he yells, accepting the haste and significantly powering up his final flash. The sky goes dark as the ground around him fly apart, rocks rising up in the distance and being tossed aside in a tornado everywhere around him.
"FINAL... FFLLAAASSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !" he yells, as the devastating beam is fired with immense power, roaring as it rips space apart and head to try to impact Derak with a massive power, kickstarting a gigantic explosion to decimate everything in sight in a storm of energy and sparks !
Goku, Superman and Green Lantern flee in time, with Superman trying to bring as much people as he can with him as the gigantic explosion of the Final Flash devastate everything in sight, Frieza, however, is too slow and is caught, screaming as the explosion engulf him as well.
Likewise, Wonder Woman scream and try to shove her two blades into Derak's chest, using her amazonian super strength to try and keep him steady even as the beam engulf and ultimately destroy her

I can tell you care a lot about your sisters, and I bet they care about you too. So I'm sure they'd understand that you have to be able to be yourself too."
Iris looks surprised that her attack had no effect at all, and actually starts to show some signs of anger.
"What!? Not even a scratch!? What is he!?"
She spreads her wings as far as she can, divine energy swirling around said wings. Though the energy looks a little darker than before.
Nevertheless, the energy then shoots out at Derak in the form of many thin laser beams, each and every one of them with a piercing effect. Of course, they probably won't actually be able to completely pierce his body, but they should be powerful enough to at least get through his skin and scales, perhaps even almost through his flesh and organs, if he has those.
The two beams that are still up in the air then charge downward, adding themselves to Kirby's team attack. Due to the beams being made of pure divine energy, the team attack should receive an insane boost in power.

"If they're anything like you, I know that they'll be happy that you'll be happy."
"Areui!"
Areui looks up, seeing Yazur
◊ up in the sky.
"Huh... guess I'm needed."
He looks back at Deut.
"I'm gonna have to go. If we don't meet again, just know that I hope everything will turn out alright. Both for you and you wanting to help your sister."

Megan saw the incoming Final Flash, and decided that now would be a very good time to not be in front of it. She took to the air once more, but not before smacking Derak at hard as she can with her poisonous tail, right in his smug, scaly face. With that, she rocketed into the skies and regrouped with the others. She took a headcount to see who was left of the fighters when she landed, towering above the rest of the group.

"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalousHolding onto Cabba with one hand, Nicole uses the other to fire an Arcane Beam at Derak.
Wanda prepares to levitate Wonder Woman away from the oncoming blasts, should Pietro not be able to reach her... only for the Amazon to be consumed by them before either could act.
"No!"
"Dammit! ...I suppose the best we can do now is ensure that she doesn't die in vain."
Pietro soon dashes over to her side.
"C'mon, Wanda, let's finish this!"
"Gladly."
The twins proceed to unleash a flurry of Arcane and Chaos Bolts towards Derak.

Areui, as he's flying towards Kirue, waves back at Deut. When he gets to Yazur, he sees him looking a little surprised, but happy. Areui looks unamused.
"Don't you dare."
Yazur smirks mischievously.
"Don't you dare, Yazur."
"Eeeeehhhhhh-yousaidyouwouldn'tbotherwithfriendsbutyoustillmadeafriend."
Yazur then quickly flies off, laughing as Areui starts chasing him.
"Once I catch you I'm going to noogie you into submission!", Areui says with a determined grin.
"You have to catch me first!"
It doesn't take long before they're gone.
Gotta go, see you later.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.The figure stares at this Vegeta, and stops when he spots the beer. "Huh, him, drinking beer? Obviously, beer is inferior to Coca-Cola. I'll show him though. I'll give him the best drink he ever had, and then I'll continue my plan to make sure all those who are not perfections will wish they never saw me. Simple as that."
He walks up to Vegeta, and then... "Hello there. What might your name be, sir?
"Well then, it is an honour to meet you, Vegeta." He bows down towards him, with a smile whose teeth are also like shiny black pearls. "Say, prince, after you are done with your beer, may I interest you in some Coca-Cola? They are a specialty and favourite where I came from."
He whips out a can of the coke, opens it with a satisfying fizzy noise, and gently gulps a small amount down with the grace of a black swan.
"Alcohol? Hmm, never thought of that." He takes a moment to think about the possibility of modified Coke drinks with the 'feel good' substance. He then comes up with a plan, which he believes has minimal flaws. "Well, if you're interested, we can make new Coke drinks with alcohol. I think it would become popular and you could become the face of the new drink."
"Wonderful! I'm glad you are willing to do so." He is willing to make it so that he will be the face of the drink for as long as possible, but mostly, he succeeds and gets another person to become who he now deems perfection in his eyes. He then has a thought. "Hey Vegeta, unrelated question here, but how strong do you consider yourself?"

She await and then step back.
"Sorry for nearly tipping you over, I get wild when I'm feeling full of emotions !"
