"Wait... Aeleris and Terlette are from the exact same place as Nik and Zero? Heh, talk about a small world..."

After watching Zero suddenly wake up and depart, Nicole's gaze shifts to Cinke.

"Well, Nik did mention that Zero could be a little eccentric and spacey."

The Arcane half-dragon's attention snaps back to Nik, her expression one of visible concern.

"You... wanna find another room in the lab to chat? Maybe hit the VR Room for some training? Up to you, Nik."

It is unwise not to look at the things that dwell beyond your world. But then again, perhaps your own universe is simply... not as dangerous as mine. Gods are awfully incompetent at dealing with genocidal maniacs. I know this better than anyone else. he declares, holding up the Cosmic Gauntlet.

Galeem is the being of light. It desires a barren world where its light may shine forever, without any kind of life. His power allowed him to blitz, as humans put it, this world and reduce most of the fighters to slavery. However, I launched a group of some sort to hunt for these puppets. Their creator, meanwhile, hides behind a shield. This shield is tied to the life of his lieutenants and beating them is necessary to access him. His demise should spell the end of most of the puppets. However, beating them back into consciousness add more members to our army, especially since he managed to catch some powerful individuals.

Most. A being, Dharkon, is Galeem's sworn enemy and he seemingly stole some of the puppets and spirits for his own sake. He is the one of darkness, and he wants to reduce the world into formless chaos. Unlike Galeem, I do not know where he is, and it is unlikely that he'll come out that easily.

They apparently viciously hate one another. Perhaps putting one into a situation of weakness will cause the other to rise up to destroy them. Then, we will be able to slay them both and this madness will be put aside... to make room for more madness, of course.

He snaps his fingers once, with no consequences. It seems to amuse him though.

The stakes involve the entire Arena. It would be unwise to stay neutral for the duration of this event.

Cinke attempts to get them to walk in an isolated chamber, snapping her fingers along.

This is where I viciously scre-relax after frustrating experiments. You will be able to relax here. she says.

NLA Outskirts

Jimmy Femur is whacked upwards, fling into the sky. They're skeletons, they're light.

Babs, likewise, is knocked far away by Segata's kick.

Segata immediately brings his attention to another member of the Spooky Boys, attempting to run in and Judo throw the skeleton.

Majima giggles like the Joker. He runs behind the skeleton Segata is attacking and attempts to sever its spinal column with his knife - not to harm it so much as to occupy its attention so Segata can pull off the throw.

"We are not gods, and our duties only fall to certain realms.", the Great Light says.

They both look and listen to what Thanos has to show and say. Des finally starts looking invested, closing her book and appearing concerned.

"Neither of us is particularly good at battling. Our duties never called for combat. However, this situation is indeed dire. There must be something we can do to contribute."

"I should bring some souls from the Nothingness to fight."

Des turns to them.

"No you shouldn't! You'll just be creating more risks.", she sternly says.

"We'd have an army."

"An army of beings you cannot allow yourself to lose. It's a horrible idea. Let's just assist the warriors that are already here."

"How!?", the Great Light asks, looking like they're about to lose their calm. Des doesn't appear worried over it though.

You cannot fight, perhaps... but the massacre has created spirits. The souls of those heroes and vilains alike were put in the puppet, bestowing them with their powers and personality.

I have amassed some of these spirits. If you allow it, you can meld with them and gain great power and the knowledge to conveniently use them.

Of course, it would be in my interest for you to lose that army, but with this Cosmic Gauntlet, few beings are worth noticing anyway. he declares, smirking confidently.

Nicole simply nods to Nik in response, smiling reassuringly at her before following Cinke into the isolated chamber.

"Huh... I would've thought you'd use the VR Room or something to blow off steam, doc. But hey, to each their own."

Nik shakily walks in after Nicole, still sniffling. She lets out a great sigh of exhaustion.

"That could be a good idea.", Des says.

"I'm not certain, even if it isn't permanent..."

"It beats asking Vit for help, doesn't it?"

The Great Light suddenly looks a little sheepish, then starts thinking it over.

"Perhaps... but before we do that, we still need to find-"

They pause as none other than Porky Minch appears in the distance. Having gone completely silent and still, the Great Light just starts walking in his direction. Des remains near Thanos.

"It may be better to not intervene here.", she says, a slight tone of dread in her voice. She then gestures to the Cosmic Cube.

"Instead, why don't you explain to me what that thing is? You've been flaunting it around a few times now."

Cinke steps out and wait.

Hm. A bothersome curl, but one that might be worth my notice.

He does not step out though, and look at the cube.

Near infinite cosmic power, concentrated into a cube. I myself dealt with items like that a couple of time. The Asgardians will eagerly inform you of it.

While no less concerned for her well-being, Nicole opts to give Nik some breathing room and exits the chamber. After all, if the Draconian either screamed or pummeled the already dented walls, she would greatly prefer not to risk getting accidentally struck.

"Alright, Glali... you wanted some time to yourself, so I hope this is good enough for ya. Yeah, I know I'm still physically present, but still."

She's quickly typing on a computer.

She seems to be looking it over, though her lack of eyes makes it hard to tell.

"A rather potent device. Should this really be kept in the hands of a mortal?", she asks. She then looks at him, expecting him to genuinely answer.

The Great Light, meanwhile, has walked up to Porky, who hasn't seen them, as he's facing away from them.

   "And now, with all that, I should-"   , he mutters, though pauses when he hears someone clear their throat. He almost turns around to annoyedly ask who's bothering him...

"Hello, Porky."

Upon recognizing that voice, Porky practically freezes up.

"Turn around, Porky.", the Great Light says, to which he slowly does so, frightened.

   "W-what are you doing here?"   

"Is that a serious question?", they ask, sounding livid. Porky gulps and takes a step back.

   "I-I don't understand why you're here, a-and seemingly angry at me."   

"I think you do.", the Great Light says, not moving. "Care to explain what you're doing?"

   "I-I'm helping to try to solve this crisi-"   

The Great Light's body seems to tense, and a small shockwave of wind courses through the area. Porky immediately shuts up.

"Helping!? I'm supposed to believe you're helping?"

   "W-w-what else would I b-be..."   

Another shockwave, and Porky goes silent again, shaking.

"What else? Enjoying your freedom? You knew this would happen, and now you think you're free do to as you please?"

   "W-what? But I didn't kn-"   

"You said you know everything that'll happen in the future, so do not tell me that you didn't know about this!", the Great Light says, raising their voice, causing Porky immense fear.

   "B-but not about this! This didn't happen in my timeline!"   

"... Oh? Isn't that convenient?"

The Great Light takes a step forward.

"I don't think I believe you.", they say, their tone sounding cold and threatening. Porky takes some more steps back.

Thanos looks at the confrontation with something of an amused grin, not stepping in.

Dismissing Thanos of Titan as a "mortal" is a foolish endeavor. I hail from a race descended from the gods and I have wielded power of this magnitude before. he answers.

"That's putting it kinda mildly, but... yeah; just give Nik some time," Nicole replies, walking over to Cinke's side. "And yeah, It's a friggin' pity Galeem didn't enslave your family tree's rotten apples for me to chop up with Olympus' Wrath. Then again, Deut probably would've just stopped me from actually killing them at the last second because she's naive and kinda selfish."

I would've stopped you, because they might've respawned and we would need their power. Yes, might but as a scientist, I do not want to leave things up to chance and to the whims of the system.

Anyway. I've noticed some vehicles moving about in the desert, I was about to head out to check it out.

"I see. I trust then that you have what it takes to use this device wisely?", she asks.


   "B-but it's true! I'm telling the truth! This time I'm a victim too!"   , Porky stammers, still backing off. The Great Light remains unconvinced.

"The evidence points towards the opposite. Porky, you remember what our deal was, don't you?"

They raise their arm, and a light blue aura envelops them.

"You know what'd happen if you betrayed me.", they say, their voice gaining an ethereal boom to it. Porky shrieks.

   "I-I didn't betray you! I didn't!"   

The Great Light starts to approach more.

   "I didn't! I s-swear! I've been helping! I... I..."

Of course. For an instance...

He snaps his fingers and creates a fairly massive explosion above the sky, attempting to catch the Great Light's attention. The explosion resonates in the air, coloring everything in a purple tinge and eerily warping in the air, without extinguishing itself.

Now, now. I do enjoy cosmic erasure... perhaps a bit too much, but I am quite sure that this putrid little curl can be of use. he says, walking over.

Porky. You will have the great honor of being useful to someone, for once. Inform us of anything that you may know, and I will protect you from retaliation.

Fail to provide information, however, and I will be eager to tell of your atrocious passing to the rest of the Arena.

Nicole hurries after Cinke into the lab's garage, boards the plane, and straps herself in as it takes off.

"Hey, Cinke, I know this question ain't related to the mysterious VTOL jets, but where's Plat? I haven't seen the big dude around the lab all day."

He's running around the Arena, setting up cameras and observing. This is why I was able to track the jet, which should be... here.

Cinke land her own jet and step off, as the vehicle spotted by Cinke swerve sharply to approach them.

Once their craft lands, Nicole rises from her seat and peeks out from the entrance at the approaching jet.

"Hmm... I get the feeling our mystery plane's being controlled by that Eleven chick, kinda like how she tried using one as a makeshift death trap for me after I investigated Mandrakk's old lab. Yeah, I knew you weren't the overly chummy gal you pretended to be, ya sneaky technomancing..."

Not wanting to take any chances, she pulls out her scanning device and proceeds to, well, thoroughly scan the plane.

The Great Light only slightly turns their head to look at Thanos. Porky looks at him as well, and, naturally, looks greatly offended by the way Thanos speaks to him.

   He's an idiot. There's no way he can stop the Great Light from-   

He pauses his thoughts as he realizes something. Thanos may not be able to stop the Great Light, but if Porky gives him the information that the Masked Man had sent to him, then that'd hopefully serve as proof of his innocence.

   "Oh, there won't be any need for drastic measures. I happen to have found a ton of information thanks to my commander. I think it'll all prove greatly helpful in fighting Galeem and Dharkon."   

He takes a device out of his pocket and offers it to Thanos.

   "On this is information on both beings and their servants. It even has a map of the world Dharkon is hiding in."   

He sneakily glances at the Great Light, who has lowered their arm, but still has their aura. They turn to Thanos silently, as if waiting for him to confirm or deny if Porky's information is helpful or not.

Des approaches too, looking curious.
