"Yes. They failed to achieve their objective of 'kill us', while I fully achieved my objective of 'gather combat data'. My superiors will be satisfied."
She also tries to hi five before realizing that she is missing both arms.
"Oh. Hm."

Divine Burden
Neuff sit down.
"Gah... think my ass is cracked from when I smashed into that hill." she says, before looking over at Nagato.
"So... one, can ya heal ? Two, if you don't mind, what exactly are your superiors ? And huh technically three, what's the source of your powers ?"
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
Mani happily approaches the both of them without seemingly any fear or hesitance.
"A warlord? ... I have no idea what that is, but it sounds imposing."
She looks excited.
"Ooh, can I try to lift the axe?"

Cauldros
After having dealt with some dark elves offscreen, Thor returns to see that Thanos and King!Thanos had been routed. Breathing a sigh of relief, he walks over to Neuff and Nagato.
"Apologies for my brief absence, I had to deal with some... old foes for a moment."
He takes a seat next to them.
[PASIO]
Nagato greets Thor without a wave because both of her arms are missing. She then proceeds to answer Neuff's questions.
"I can regenerate the lost flesh, though it will take focus. Do not worry: I am fine."
For now, however, she is bleeding just as much as a normal human.
"I am able to manipulate universal data. Though the data here is different, it is not completely foreign, though I should hold back in order not to activate this dimension's 'immune system'."
"My superiors are the Data Integration Thought Entity. I browsed this dimension's data during my meditation, and one its branches had some information on it, so I will relay that to you."
Nagato attempts to relay this data to Neuff telepathically: "The Data Integration Thought Entity, Yuki's boss, is a non-physical data lifeform that exists outside of normal space-time. It lacks the ability to communicate with language, so it created Humanoid Interfaces to interact with humanity on its behalf. Its goals and motivations are unclear, despite Yuki's attempts to explain, only that it is interested in Haruhi Suzumiya. Yuki also mentions that any human who sees it would die of information overload."

Thanos’ Ship
Thanos, surrounded by The Black Order
, confronts King!Thanos.
”What is the meaning of this? Do you believe it is a good idea to bring the great Thanos to some foreign time and land?” Thanos says menacingly.
”You are mistaken. I have only the best of intentions. I require your assistance in destroying all life in this realm and ending the life of the one being who has avoided my wrath. The Fallen One.”
”The Fallen One? The broken herald of Galactus? You truly are a disappointment.” ]
”You truly are a younger me. Come, I have much to explain.” King Thanos says as Thanos steps off his throne and follows him, leaving the Black Order to guard the ship.

A being is travelling at high speeds, causing a sonic boom as it enters the atmosphere. The being then lands, looks around, and takes up residence inside a nearby cave.

"It's okay Thor." she says, before hearing the explanations.
"Wow.... erm..."
She shift around and try to find a subject of conversation.
"Good story, though, erm, well, need buckets for all the blood ?" she says, pointing at her arms
—
"Certainly !" says Glacies. She give the axe but keep her grip on it for the time being, in case Mani lack the strength to wield it

Surprisingly, Mani doesn't struggle that much with lifting it, quickly getting used to the weight. She does look impressed though.
"Whoa, this thing's almost as heavy as the weights I train with!"
Once she's allowed to hold it herself, she takes a few steps back and tries some swings with it, though appears to be clumsy with it, almost falling over from it. She eventually gives it back.
"Thanks for letting me try it.", she says, smiling. "I guess axes aren't really my thing though."

"Wow, you use some strong weights !" comments Glacies, looking impressed as she grab the axe back.
"To be honest, neither do I !" says Glacies, laughing. "Though I feel more at ease about using it when I wield it. I'm usually far more proficient with swords but I feel like I could take on the world with that weapon."
"Be careful, princess;" says Neize.
"Haha, don't worry, I only intend to use it against bad guys... and to cut slabs of meats too. The kitchen knives are always taken away by some prankster..;"

"So, Neuff... has Ain been well lately? Now that both Katre and Troa have been defeated, I imagine quite the weight has been lifted from her shoulders, metaphorically speaking."
Thor raises an eyebrow upon noticing that Nagato was bleeding despite the fact that she was, well, an android.

Scholes Battleground
A glitchy portal opens above the battleground, and as a huge creature
◊ suddenly falls through, roaring loudly after it lands, the sun will harshly start to shine all across the Arena.
Meanwhile, in between Cauldros and Sylvalum, right on the edge of the battleground, another huge being
◊ falls through, landing in the water between the continents. With a mighty roar, the sun immediately changes to rain.
In response to that roar, the first being starts making its way towards the edge of the battlegrounds. The second sees it nearing, and as the weather starts to fluctuate wildly between intense sun and intense rain, the two prepare for a devastating and destructive battle.
"Thanks!", Mani says. "I wanna be in top shape as much as I can."
She then smiles excitedly.
"Swords? That's what I usually use too! ... Well, I mean, I've never actually fought with a sword before, but one day I wanna."
She then glances up as she notices the erratic weather.
"... I haven't been in this place for that long. Is this normal?"

"Why would I need to collect the blood?"
"Ah, I should begin to heal myself."
She starts chanting. Her body starts to stitch itself back together.

Neuff looks up at the crazy weather and the roars.
"Huh... I should get going." she says. "Look like something else needs to be punched. You wanna join when you're done, Thor, Nagato ?"
—
"Haha, a sword ! Perhaps we shall duel !"
Glacies looks at the weather and focus, attempting to use her connection to frost to see who is causing it.
"No, its not natural. I heard the cries of nature, could this be a new enemy ?" she asks.
"Princess, Mani, let me take care of this."
—
A small figure is running towards the closer figure, breaking through stones in his mad sprint.
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
After taking a moment to process the sudden change of weather, Thor lays a hand on Neuff's shoulder.
"Considering how exhausted you are, Neuff, I doubt you would last long against... whatever might be causing this."
Sylvalum
Nicole, who had been taking what she thought would be relaxing walk through the Anvil Sandplains, stops in her tracks when the sudden fluctuating weather happens.
"...The hell?"
She catches sight of the two beasts that she could only assume were causing the anomalies.
"Oh, come on, it's only been a couple friggin' days since that brawl with Troa! Give a girl a break!"
Nonetheless, she spreads her wings and flies towards where the behemoths were once preparing to go to war. If anything, she figured that she could at least watch and prepare to assist in case things went pear-shaped.

Nagato Yuki
Her arms are mostly reconstructed.
She notices Missing No's portals. Her eyes widen.
"That data…"
"We should stop that. If you are tired, stay behind. But it is probably very important to stop that corruption."
Fighter Mc Warrior, Vague Primordia
Fighter notices the corruption.
"Oh! What's that!"
…
"GASP! It might be Chaos! … IT MIGHT BE BLACK MAGE!"
He starts to run towards the nearest beastie.
Grumio
Grumio is on break. He's strolling around outside of NLA, thinking about saying hi to Drawcia when he feels a disturbance in the spirit of the ocean.
"Uh? What is happening…? Oh no! The ocean calls to me!"
He starts to run towards the sea, gripping his soup spoon like a knife.
Enforcer and Scout
Scout looks up at the sky.
"OTHERSELF–"
"SCOUT. NO."
"IF WE ARE TO BECOME PARTS OF MATERIAL SOCIETY, AS YOU SAID, WOULD PROVIDING ASSISTANCE IN A CATACLYSM NOT RAISE OUR STATUS?"
"FUCK. THAT. WE ARE TRYING TO SURVIVE: AS OF RIGHT NOW, REMAINING ISOLATED IS THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION FOR THAT. ONCE THIS PASSES, WE SHALL REENGAGE."
"… AS YOU SAY, ENFORCER."
Oca Tuberosa
Oca is not interested at all. He's more focused on the Xeno dragon thing with Megan and Reyna, and plans to teleport back home after he's done there.
The Spider
The Spider continues to sleep at the Silent Shrine, oblivious to the world around it.
It mumbles in its sleep about being hungry, but that's about it.
WEE and I
Both are sealed away, dead to the world. I writhes in its crystalline prison, but otherwise does nothing.
Ochimo of Fire
The Ochimo looks at the corruption, but scoffs at it. He continues to prepare the pentagram and the Warpstone of Death Fuck.
Brass and Junia
Brass, on Spiralblock Peak, looks at the corruption and scowls. He doesn't want to look for trouble, but damn well will cause some if it comes looking for him. He powers up a bit, and moves closer to the still comatose Junia.
Sporacles
Sporacles is near the bottom of the ocean, sleeping in his seamoth.
He has no way of knowing about the conflict going on up above, though if he ever found out he missed it he would probably die of shame.
Waluigi
Waluigi is drunk on Pepsi, and currently just sort of laying around in Vague Primordia.
Super Snatch Man

"That sounds fun. Though I'd need a little bit more practice with one first.", Mani says. She then looks at Neize.
"You're gonna go all on your own?", she asks, looking a bit worried. "Shouldn't I come too? Maybe I can help."
The closer figure, the one on land, seems to spare not a single moment of its attention on the nearing figure, its eyes set on the other creature in the waters. It's the same vice-versa, with the creature in the water focusing solely on the one on land.
Once they're close enough to each other, they each let out another mighty roar as the beast in the water strikes in front of itself with its huge fins, sending a massive tidal wave right at the other creature, who stomps the ground and makes the earth shake, parts of the ground splitting, falling and being raised upward. The piece of land that the creature is standing on is amongst the parts that are raised, meaning the tidal wave just passes through under it.
Both the tidal wave and the earthquake already cause massive damage to the area, the battlegrounds already looking like a warzone. And those were just the first attacks.
High up in the sky above the two though flies the Fusion Master, also known as Missingno, looking down upon the two with a darkly pleased gaze, the cube floating orbiting around him.
The Assassins, who's attention had been gained by the two beasts, see the Fusion Master through Andropov's crystals, and they're silent for a little while until Mara breaks the silence.
"That son of a bitch!" , she growls. "What the hell did he bring to this place?"
"According to what my host knows...", Cyber says, sounding nervous. "Those things can shape and destroy continents with their battle."
"What!? And he brought them here!? Does he want to destroy the Arena!?" , Mr L asks.
"Probably. We must take action."
He snaps his fingers.
"We have no choice but to subue Missingno and force him to send those things back before it's too late. Alright, Mara, you're stronger than him, so you will-"
"Screw that. I'm not getting myself dissolved. Send someone else."
"Getting dissolved is a risk all of us face if we confront him."
"Yeah, but one of us doesn't really need to worry about that." , she says, gesturing to Hub, who immediately shakes his head.
"Fuck that! I don't stand a chance against him!"
"Then just... I don't know, wear him out until I can take him out safely."
"But-"
"That sounds like the safest option. Alright, we'll do that."
Hub looks at him, then sighs in frustration.
"I swear for every time he dissolves me I'm going to punch one of you guys in the face..."

Psychic Mechanical Implement
Silent Shrine
Yuugi Hoshiguma is doing work inside the shrine when she looks outside and notices the strange conditions of the sky.
"...Oh. Something's surely wrong..." She says to herself, grabs a weapon and runs outside. "Bleugh- geez, the sun is bright, really bright..." She thinks while looking around. However, she is much too far off to find anything else unusual nearby. She grumbles but stays out in the front of the shrine in a guarding position, and if anything new came close to the shrine or its surroundings, she would likely notice it. Then came the rain, and the rapidly changing skies. "Well... isn't that just nice?" Yuugi remains in a guarding position. She was going to get rained on one way or another, she presumed. She didn't like the conditions, but she was doing what she had to do.
Suika is likely nearby, but she is not visible to Yuugi.

Platinum and Cinke are watching the fight, with Mekhara standing close.
"Hm... this could be troublesome. They have the power to destroy this realm, and unlike Limit Breaker Troa, they have no intention of holding back until the end !"
"SHALL WE DEPLOY THE FLEET ?"
"No. Let's beam Neuff back in, I've got a idea for her." says Cinke, walking as the black robots rush everywhere around her, armoring the lab in preparation for the fight.
—
Neuff agrees and sit down, though soon, she is taken by a blue energy pillar. A black robot fly in.
"WORRY NOT. SHE IS KEPT FOR LATER. NOW I WILL GO AND HIDE, YOU SHOULD DO LIKE ME !" warns the robot, before flying back to the safety of its base.
—
Loki watch the fight, sitting at the highest peaks, he hold his grey gem out.
"The power of the earth unleashed, the raging sea. He said that I needed to absorb the clash of such forces with that thing. Here's hoping that I won't need to stick around too much."
—
Some weird hatted thing is tooting in the surroundings of the fight. After a while, he notices the fight going on, just in time to get swept by a wave and carried to the horizon.
"TOOOTTTT"
—
The Stranger laughs as he is smashed into a rock by the huge waves, letting himself get battered around, eventually ending up covered in blood and wounds. However, by the time of his emergence, he's back to looking unscathed, if wet.
"Hahahaha ! Come and get it ! I'll take you on, the both of you !" he yells, before getting swept away again.
—
"Very well then. Stick with me."
She smiles and depart the area, Glacies looks sad but still goes home with a ice portal.
"Good luck..."

Spooky Scary Boneheaded Man
Sapphire Star Isle
Megan takes an interest in the mention of a conduit, and takes a look at the streamstone in her pocket again. Experimentally, she tried to pass a tiny fraction of her mana through it, and the attempted to retrieve it.
"Hmm? Sure. I sort of figured that firing it at the island would be what they call 'a very bad idea'." Now, lets see if this thing works as advertised...," she said, before aiming a fair distance out to sea and attempting to fire the thing. Or, she would have, were it not for the sudden change in the sky and sea. "Uhh... guys? What going on?"
Iraaxos stopped and leaned against the cavern wall near him. "I'm fairly certain that it just attempted to harvest energy from me, even without a 'conduit', but if you say so... Very well. I will trust you know much more than I do of this creature. I shall steel myself for any further ventures, however."
He then performed an... interesting, although fairly cryptic sequence of hand motions. At the end, a cracked, magma-liked effect covered both his attire and his scales. "This," he said, referring to the effect. "Should prevent whatever that was from happening again, at least without a conduit. The additional Elemental Fire for any attacks is a nice bonus, as well."

"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalous
Thor blinks in surprise when Neuff is quickly teleported away by one of Cinke's robots, then turns to Nagato.
"Normally, I would aid in resolving such a mess, but I'm admittedly still a little exhausted from the earlier battle."
"Holy shit!"
Nicole flies back in time to narrowly avoid being either swept away by the tidal wave or knocked outta the air by a raised piece of land.
"Alright, if Earthbending Godzilla and Free Willy on Steroids are gonna threaten the whole damn Arena with their fight, it looks like just enjoying the show ain't an option here..."
As she begins to charge an Arcane Beam, she looks down to notice the Stranger screaming at the dueling behemoths.
"Aaaaand now we've got a suicidal, Nordic-looking Conor McGregor threatening those two beasts. I get the feeling that dude's not entirely sane."

"Oh, god damn it."
"Guys, I'm not in the mood to deal with another big fight right now. Later."
"Oh, but you can keep the gun, Megan. Now that I've got the schematics, it'd be pretty easy for me to genn another one up."
Oca teleports back to the Nuclearverse.
Spider
The spider wakes up.
"Rrrg… uwhat~?"
It drowsily scuttles out of the shrine, and greets Yuugi.
Fighter
He startles at the sight of the tidal wave.
"Oh darn!"
He braces himself, and attempts to block the wave with his sword.
...
It works perfectly, though it doesn't really affect anything other than him.
Grumio
Grumio continues running on the surface of the sea, and sights Kyogre.
"This must be the fish which is ruining the ocean! Or something!"
The tidal wave crashes into him, but he manages to instantly float to the top.
Nagato
"Please excuse me, Thor."
She warps to a hundred meters or so away from Missing No, to trying observe him and get a gauge on the glitchy data. She hovers in the air.

Reyna nods to Iraaxos.
Xeno'jiiva actually won't be able to drain Iraaxos while he's alive. It'll try, but it won't succeed.
Galileo flies right up to Reyna.
"Huh? What is it?"
Galileo grabs Reyna in its claws and lifts her high into the sky, until she can see the battle of titanic beasts.
For once, Reyna can understand Galileo. Her elder dragon powers fade. "You need to intervene."
Galileo nods.
"Well, I'm coming with you." Reyna hoists herself onto Galileo's back. "Hey! You two! I've gotta go now! Do not engage Xeno'jiiva without me!"
With that, Galileo takes off for the Primals with a burst of speed.

Glacies turns around and smiles.
"Its a weapon that we found beneath some ruins in Cauldros. Its a gigantic black axe, too large to be wielded by any human but I'm quite stronger than that !" she says, looking over at the weapon.
Neize also waves, holding a huge, black, horned helmet in her hands.
"I think they belonged to a warlord."

"Yeah... victory ! We sure showed 'em that the Arena is full of fighters, right ?"
She prepare to high five Nagato but then awkwardly just wave her arms when she realize that Nagato's arms are all but ruined.
