"I appreciate that.", Pseudo replies with a slight grin.

"Thanks!", Seras calls out to Pietro while she continues to ascend. She then gets hit by Galeem's wings, getting sent down quite a distance, though lands safely on one of the platforms.

"I'm alright! I'll catch up, keep going upwards!", she calls out to Pietro, then starts leaping up again.

Tuyet actually catches a ride on Kefla, hopping onto her back as she leaps past, allowing her to catch up with the rest of the group again. ... Until Kefla has to dodge Galeem's wings, which do hit Tuyet and send her a few platforms further down again.

   "Aaaaaagh!"   , she growls in annoyance.

Bell still remains careful, managing to dodge Galeem's wings because of it, and lands on one of the platforms, needing to let her wings rest for a moment. She creates a temporary staircase of vines that lead up a few platforms and runs over them.

Pilly continues to ascend and dodge like she's possessed. Her eyes are filled with determination, having set their sight on the two beings that have caused everyone so much grief and anxiety. She'd pretended to be feeling normal to not worry Pseudo, but right now, she doesn't mind letting other people see that she wants to get to them and defeat them as fast as possible.

When Galeem's wings come down, Zola tries to have herself and Anthony dodge by sending a gust of wind to her side, hoping the attack's knockback will push the two of them out of the wings' range.

Mara speaks to Miriel.

   Well... judging by your choice of words, you're one of the smarter humans I've met so far, I can say that much.   

She smirks.

   Call me Mara. I only really wear battle armor under dire or important circumstances. And while this situation is both of those, I'm a Spirit, so...   

She then telepathically answers Pietro.

   Your sister opted to stay behind. She can do whatever she wants, but I'm going up. I want to see them perish with my own eyes. With or without Wanda.   

Then she chuckles darkly.

   You raise a good point regarding our deal... by staying behind instead of helping me defeat those two, is SHE not the one who broke it? Technically, nothing would happen to me now if I called off the deal...   

Mystia's flight allows her to easily keep up with the rate of the destruction of the platforms, but Sombra has more difficulty, especially when Galeem demolishes a platform he was just about to jump to. His ability comes in useful here, as in a pinch he is able to create his own platforms to propel himself upwards, at the cost of energy. Mystia's hymn of courage continues to boost the assembled fighters' spirits (both figuratively and literally).

Not expecting it, Pietro gets knocked onto a platform by Galeem's wings. Once he's recovered, he breathes a sigh of relief when Seras confirms that she's alright, then follows her advice and continues upwards, overhearing Miriel along the way.

   "That Spirit you just got, Professor McGonagall? Yeah, she's a sadistic demon who has... history with me and my sister, Wanda,"    he chimes in.    "She was supposed to be with her, but apparently, Mara decided to break off their unbreakable deal."   

Cue Mara answering his thought via telepathy.

"In other words, you're too goddamn obsessed with getting revenge for your bruised ego that you don't give a damn about the deal anymore? Yeah, spare me the bullshit, Mara."

Thor jukes to the right to avoid Galeem, unleashes a burst of lightning at the deity's wings, and continues his ascension.

"Bloody cowards!"

Thanks to Zola's intervention, she and Anthony are both pushed away from the oncoming wings in time. Once he's had a moment to catch his breath, the red-eyed young man quickly offers her a grateful smile before resuming the climb.

Wanda finishes her meditation, heads into the portal leading to the Final Destination, then sends Neuff a telepathic message.

"Neuff, this is Wanda. If you can hear me, I would certainly appreciate not having to climb all the way up."

Loki chuckles in response, fishes a book out from his coat, and heads off to start reading, leaving Pseudo to his devices.

At the next peak, where they begin to reach space, more false fighters appear.

Light: Galaxy Man, Baoh

Dark: Boothead, Agent 8

KiriK

False Baoh is intercepted by the real deal, who dices his fake to pieces before dissolving False Galaxy Man with Meltedin Palm Phenomenon! False Boothead is punched into splinters by the surprise appearance of the god Raijin, who then splats False Agent 8 with a blast of multicolored lightning!

Raijin gives Thor a cheeky thumbs-up before transforming into some kind of electrical serpent and carrying Baoh back down to the ground below.

The way opens up once again.

Like Dharkon earlier, Galeem now attempts to butt in, his wings expanded to a massive size that pushes the fighters to one edge of the available platforms, while he uses giant pinwheel-like bladed discs formed from additional wings as weapons to strike at them.

Aeleris begins to climb, only to pause as Galeem pushes him back to the narrowest edge. However, he predicts that Galeem will act like Dharkon did (which he is doing), and dashes back to avoid the blades, before rushing in Aether-style with a fierce slash.

Edited by KiriK on Jul 30th 2019 at 6:30:21 AM

Troubling, but necessary. This spirit's power is potent, and separating from it out of moral differences, while perhaps noble, would be rather dim-witted.

Miriel and Morgan are pushed back, but Vivenette and Vision attempt to smash the wheels away. The mages, as a result, spin around lightly and Miriel immediately fire off a potent Elfire, while letting out a rally of some sort.

This cause Morgan's own attack to grow, with the Bolganone growing in size. Both fire attacks attempt to strike Galeem.

Thank you. You seems to be able to enhance my magic as well. Is there anything else that I must know about ? One does not wade into a battle unprepared, after all, especially in such an important one.

Whoah ! You're so strong, mom !

Indeed, but you are matching me. Be proud, daughter... but not too much yet.

Swain land somewhere and fire off lightning blasts at Galeem, while Vision is hit by a wheel. Neuff, meanwhile, teleport down to get Wanda, and try to get her up.

That'll be two euros, miss.

Vegeta scream, and goes God, attempting to fly through Galeem and reach the upper level !

You guys stick and watch ! I'll reach these two before any of you !

Edited by Bolded1 on Jul 30th 2019 at 4:37:50 AM

Seras is making her way upwards again when Galeem appears. Thinking quickly, she leaps up to Galeem and tries to slash at his orb with her vampiric claw.

Pilly continues on climbing, sending some blasts of energy down at Galeem's core as she ascends.

Kefla is still leaping up, and when Galeem nears, she tries to power through the blades to punch Galeem right in the core.

Tuyet doesn't attack this time around, focusing on getting higher for once and letting the others deal with it.

Zola, upon seeing Galeem nearing, points her sword at the orb and fires small energy blasts out of it.

"My Hornet Assassin attack is still not nearly as strong as the one Killer Bat used, but maybe it'll still work along with everyone else's attacks.", she says to Anthony.

Bell gets hit by one of the discs when it catcher her off guard, and she falls on one of the nearby platforms, holding her shoulder, which isn't bleeding, but the cut is still deep.

"Ouch..."

Mara, meanwhile, is not pleased with Pietro's response. Not at all.

   Ego!? Now listen here, spandex boy.   , she growls.    Our deal was that Wanda would help me get rid of Galeem. SHE stayed down there and expected me to do the same, then got angry that I didn't, so SHE broke our deal! NOT me! So take your self-righteous attitude and shove it up your ass, or else the deal is off and you'll never figure out a solution to save your sister's precious little Alderoth in time. Do you understand!?   

She disconnects her telepathic talking to Pietro, turning back to Miriel.

   Now THIS is something I cannot stand. The type who thinks they're always in the right because they're the hero and the other is the villain. Yes, from a moral standpoint, they are, but that doesn't mean they're allowed to act like they can do no wrong and the villain is always to blame for everything. Anyone with half a brain should be able to imagine the possibility that they're the ones who messed up. But apparently the Maximoff twins aren't capable of doing that. And to think I was actually starting to respect them a little. What a wasted effort. They'll always just be immature brats.   

She sighs.

   ... I don't usually vent like that. It's unbecoming of my status to do so and I apologize.   , she says to Miriel, actually sounding sincere.    Anyhow, I like that you don't have issues following the most logical thing, even if it isn't the most 'moral'. So I'll humor you and answer a few questions you may have. You strike me as someone who values knowledge. Naturally though, you can't expect me to tell you anything that can be used against me in the future. As for what you get out of bonding with me, increased defenses and a little bit of magic are mostly it. If we synergize well enough though, I may be able to channel some extra power into your attacks.   

She then grins a little.

   Oh, right... what's your name, human?   

Wanda, upon being teleported back up to the group, just smiles warmly at Neuff and tousles her hair.

"How about I treat you to a hard-earned ladies' night once this is all over?"

She launches several red bolts of her magic towards the now-visible Galeem.

   "Yeah, that's more or less what Wanda thought. Quick warning, though, Mara can be... kind of a handful sometimes,"    Pietro advises Miriel.    "So, I hope you're patient enough to handle that."   

Cue Mara telepathically screaming at him, causing him to clutch his head in pain... which, in turn, leaves him wide open to a blindsiding from one of Galeem's discs, sending him flying and crashing onto the same platform as Seras.

"You'd think stopping Galeem and Dharkon from escaping again, and possibly taking out what minions they have left would count as revenge. Ugh, for someone who thinks almost everyone is an immature brat, Mara, you're the only one having a temper tantrum because you didn't get your way, ya ungrateful hypocrite... and this isn't spandex, man, even a blind guy could see that."

He throws a Chaos Spear at the Lord of Light before reaching up to tap Seras on the arm.

   "Hey... Sorry to crash in, Seras, but would you mind giving me a hand?"   

Thor knocks away the discs coming him with a few swings of Mjolnir, turns his attention to Galeem himself, and unleashes a truly massive blast of lightning at him.

"Is this the best you arseholes can muster?!"

   "Good plan. Here, let me give it a little kick,"    Anthony says to Zola, creating a shadowy weapon reminiscent of a scorpion's tail on his free arm before making it lance out towards Galeem. Regardless of his attack's success, he continues climbing after the others with Zola on his back.

Sombra retaliates with the same golden beam he used against Dharkon as he frantically hops from platform to platform to avoid the beams. Mystia also hangs back and throws some poisoned daggers at Galeem's core, not willing to get any closer as she does not have Ally of Darkness to weather the lord of light's blows.

Galeem is driven back, and the next peak is reached.

Light: Dr. Strange, Jotaro

Dark: Cyber Cooler, Ralsei

DevilPsyco

Suddenly, a rotor sound can be heard, and the false fighters start getting gunned down. The shots are coming from a G.E.M. helicopter, piloted by Norm, while Linda and Alex stand in the doorway, the former launching a bazooka shot down at the false fighters and the latter firing down lightning blasts from Shinui.

They are not alone though. Meta Knight has flown upwards with them and launches crescent energy blasts at the false fighters, while the Masked Man assists in sending down lightning bolts, stunning them and leaving them as easy pickings.

Lastly, a big laser is shot up at the false fighters from the other side, vaporizing them. It turns out to have come from EVE, with Ninten on her head, who’s using his telekinesis to keep EVE airborne. He has a lot of trouble keeping the giant robot up there, but then again, all EVE needed was one good shot. After the shot they start falling back down, but the Masked Man catches EVE and, thanks to his super strength, is capable of getting her and Ninten back to the ground safely.

The G.E.M. helicopter descends back down as well, not having enough fuel in it to make the whole trip upwards, and with Alex's motorcycle not being a safe way to travel upwards, they have no choice but to descend.

The path opens up once again.

... Oh no, every single platform has a Bob-Omb on it. The fighters will have to climb quickly to avoid getting knocked around by these walking contact explosives. Rocket Belts also appear. They're effectively temporary jetpacks, but there are only 5, so they'll have to decide who will most need them.

Aeleris looks at the Rocket Belts, shrugs and begins glowing white. He then proceeds to just fly through the platforms, weaving around the Bob-Ombs in his way.

An apology would be necessary if you were not made of ether and air, but since you do not fear attacks, I shall not comment on it. I do appreciate your effort to apologize , as well as your prompt answers. We may not be able to fully synchronize, but as of now, it seems that our efforts are... sufficient, though stopping at "sufficient" would be a mistake for one such as I.

I shall tell you my name. This is no light decision, for I do not know of your magic. I am Miriel Armaur, and I shall be the instrument of your revenge.

Morgan look at her mom, and blinks a little. She and the others continue on, until they reach the bombs. Being medieval people, they have trouble putting on the jetpacks, causing Vivenette to do it for them. She get hit as a result, and the duo barely flies upward. Miriel keeps her arms on her daughter, just in case anything goes wrong.

I take it that you are a... demon. Your appearance correspond with the descriptions and drawings of these creatures, after all. It is quite fascinating, if dangerous perhaps, to see one in the "flesh".

Mom, you'll get hurt if you hold me !

Worry not, I possess superior defensive abilities. Stay close to me, Morgan.

Vegeta flies upward, so does Swain. Vision attempts to help stragglers, though, and rescue Vivenette. He does get hit by explosions himself.

Neuff prepare to answer but notice the group distance and jump to reach them back.

Edited by Bolded1 on Jul 30th 2019 at 5:41:33 AM

Seras looks down, grins, and helps Pietro up with her regular arm.

"If I was my master, I'd probably have used the other arm.", she teasingly says. "Let's keep going."

After they reach the bomb-filled area, Seras starts leaping up and around them, moving fast and gracefully with her vampire powers.

Pilly pushes herself upwards, creating a lightning barrier around her to detonate close by bombs before they can get close enough to her, and continues upwards.

Tuyet blasts any bomb near her away with water, resulting in a safer trip up for her.

Kefla just flies through them, tanking the explosions.

Zola remains on Anthony's back, trying to send Hornet Assassin blasts around her to try to detonate the bombs at a safe distance.

Bell, lastly, surrounds herself in what appears to be some sort of cocoon, which is then suddenly bounced upwards through the bombs, taking a lot of the damage she would have gotten. Once she's safe, she emerges from the cocoon, her previous injuries a little healed.

   Well, even someone like me shouldn't act below their status.   , Mara says.    I'm usually more patient that how I behaved a moment ago.   

She then chuckles.

   Now that's an introduction I can get behind. I think I might not regret this choice after all.   

She then shakes her head, and, probably for the sake of atmosphere, lowers her voice a little.

   That's what they all assume, so I tend to play along. I even named my restricted form 'Mara's Demon' as a little joke. However, their assumption is actually untrue.   

Then she goes over into a sinister whisper.

   I am far above the likes of a demon.   

After telekinetically seizing as many bombs as she can, Wanda tosses them aside in an attempt to make everyone's lives easier, grabs a Rocket Belt, and uses it to fly after the others. Then she sends a telepathic message to Mara, figuring she had to be bonded to one of the fighters present.

"Hello, Mara. Apologies for not immediately leaping headfirst after the others to reduce Dharkon and Galeem to atoms, but I initially though that my skills would be more suited to handling the defense side of things. Plus, what if they not only tried to escape again, but succeeded because I wasn't there to help stop them? Anyway, once I had some time to meditate, I realized that it was admittedly my fault you left, so... I'm willing to let bygones be bygones, if you are."

Pietro grins at Seras before leaping after her, launching Chaos Orbs at any bombs his sister might have missed.

   "Quick question, police girl: think your boss would you believe you if you told her about, well... all of this?"   

Thor tanks the explosions at best he can as he flies further upwards.

Using his free hand, Anthony sends a few blasts of dark energy towards any bombs that might impede his and Zola's progress.

   "You know, Zola, this whole... experience has given me a lot of inspiration for my drawings. I just need to improve a little as an artist, and soon you might get to see me churn out masterpiece after masterpiece."   

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Jul 30th 2019 at 7:38:15 AM

"I tire of this senseless game of tag! You know you will not escape me, both of you! It does not matter how far or how fast you flee! For what you have done, you will both quake in fear and I shall sing the song that seals your fate!"

Mystia, without hesitation, leaps into the seemingly endless sky. Sombra considers his options, and in the end, being the charitable king he is, opts that someone else will surely need those jetpacks more than he does. He creates a golden platform beneath his hooves and ascends upwards, albeit significantly more slowly than the wrathful diva.

At the top of this challenge sits what appear to be the final set of fighting platforms. Way off in the distance, Galeem and Dharkon are visible, still blasting away at each other without a care in the world.

And of course, one final round of false fighters appears to block the heroes' path.

Light: Funny Valentine, Lucario, Captain America

Dark: Mewtwo, Trellis, Targa

Bolded1 Again

Before long, arrows and magic bolts flies forth. Xander, Frederick and Peri leading a charge against the six fiends. Not to be outdone, Ryoma and Oboro charge as well, with Takumi laying down some suppressing fire. Lucina leap forward, Aether at the ready, and slash down with it ! They may be weak, compared to others, but the Sheperds more than make up for it in ferocity !

Upon the defeat of the final puppets, Galeem and Dharkon unleash simultaneous bursts of power, drowning out all senses, giving way to only the void.

For a few moments.

Then the fighters wake up back on Final Destination, only this time it is way up high, right in the middle of Galeem and Dharkon's war. It’s as if they’re right in between the clouds from before The Final Battle had been purged of light and darkness.

Fiery orbs begin flying in. Each one has the visage of a boss within it, almost like... the way spirits looked before they were freed. The spirits of Galeem's bosses have yellow fire, and the spirits of Dharkon's bosses have purple fire. As they fly in, they collide with each other, holding each other steady and seemingly letting the heroes attack them.

However, when one boss spirit is attacked, the attacker will be sucked into it, coming out in a pocket dimension - to fight that very boss all over again. When a boss is defeated, those who were fighting it are ejected back onto Final Destination.

Did somebody say BOSS RUSH? (Boss Battle Song 2 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

Aeleris looks at the scene, then at his own injuries. He promptly casts a spell and disappears as Keeby, Callis, Meta Knight (having somehow inexplicably gotten his cape back but still wielding Devilsknife), Mr. Pew Pew, Sonic, Mothra, and the unknown woman with Rathalos' spirit equipped appear in his place.

Any characters who need to be switched out will disappear with Aeleris, and any who need to be added to the scene last-second will appear with the rest of the gang.

Callis is emitting a sparking aura. Painis Cupcake's spirit appears behind her. ... Does it count as cheating?

Painis Cupcake's spirit increases your stats after eating. While Painis himself is a cannibal, the effect of his spirit applies to all forms of food. So, Callis just equipped the spirit and treated herself to a traditional Saiyan pre-battle meal for a massive buff.

Meta Knight looks at Rathalos' actual spirit, then at the 'spirit orb' containing Rathalos in the sky above. His eyes narrow beneath his mask.

Currently Available: Giga Bowser & Ganon

Meta Knight's wings spread and he flies up to Giga Bowser's spirit orb, delivering a flying kick that sucks him into it... but Giga Bowser didn't have a special fighting arena, right?

The mystery woman does a dance with her polearm before doing a spinning strike up to Ganon's spirit orb, getting herself yanked into a simulacrum of Ganon's Castle...

To be continued...

Edited by KiriK on Aug 22nd 2021 at 10:18:45 AM

Ha, I see. You'll forgive my assumption, I have had little diplomatic contact with beings that dwell beyond the scope of mortality, thus, I cannot properly identifies supernatural beings.

When they get engulfed, everyone is surprised at their continued survival, and none of them proceed to switch. Vegeta goes directly for Giga Bowser, while Miriel and Morgan wait.

Lucina fought Ganon, so we should know what to except, right ?

Indeed. Cooperation is key, however. Thus, Mara, I propose that you select a spirit if you wish.

If Mara does offer a boss to fight, Miriel and Morgan go there. Otherwise, they head for Ganon by default, attacking with spells and promptly getting sucked in.

The rest hang back so far, to take on the remaining bosses.

Seras laughs.

"Miss Integra? Probably, yeah. She's not surprised by ANYTHING."

Zola sheathes her sword and smiles at Anthony.

"Considering that, despite the circumstances we're in, this scenery is really impressive, I can't wait to see what you'll be able to draw from it. I bet it'll be even more stunning than our surroundings."

Then all of them get engulfed for a moment, waking up back at the higher-stationed Final Destination. They see the orbs and ponder on what to do, then pause when they see some of the attackers get sucked into said orbs.

"Those two resemble the minions that used to block our paths, going by what Picky had shown me.", Pilly says out loud for people to hear. "Which means it's likely that the other four will appear at some point as well. It may be best to not all attack at once, for some of us to stay behind to deal with another one so that the ones that fought first can rest."

"In that case it might be better for us to wait and see what else pops up.", Zola says to Anthony, getting off of his back and drawing her sword in preparation.

"Well, I know I'm not waiting!", Kefla proclaims, charging for Ganon's orb. "That one is MINE!"

She attacks it and gets sucked in.

   "Neither am I."   , Tuyet says, grinning.    "I'm not waiting a second longer to let loose."   

She then jumps at Giga Bowser's orb and gets sucked in.

"Well... guess I'll wait around too then.", Seras says.

Bell waits too, wordlessly sitting down on the ground and letting some roots grow from her legs, which embed themselves into Final Destination. The roots glow faintly, and Bell's wounds start getting healed more.

   I don't mind. The title of demon isn't exactly insulting.   , Mara chuckles to Miriel. She then ponders.

   If your ally is familiar with one of their minions, then it's best to go for that one.   

Then she hears Wanda's message.

   Huh, well I'll be.   

She disconnects her telepathic connection with Miriel for a moment so that she can't hear the message Mara sends to Wanda.

   I'm impressed that you got up here so fast. Considering the situation we're in, this is not the time nor place to be playing with grudges, and perhaps my reaction was a bit hostile, so I accept.   

She then chuckles.

   However, the host I'm currently bonded with seems to be a fair bit frailer than you are, Maximoff, and as such in more need of my defensive powers than you are. As such, I have a feeling that, if I return to you now, her life will definitely be in peril. As a hero, I'm sure you can understand and accept that I have to stick with her, for the sake of our combined success?   

She grins.

   Besides, this might be a way for you to prove to me how capable you are here without my help.   

Edited by DevilPsyco on Jul 31st 2019 at 6:40:58 PM

Once the group arrives at the Final Destination, Wanda opts to go for Ganon, entering with Miriel and co. via launching an Arcane Bolt at his orb as she telepathically communicates with Mara.

"If she truly requires your benefits more than I do, then stay bonded with her for as long as necessary. Now, assuming you really are curious about how powerful I am without your help and not simply teasing me... pay attention and I'll happily show you."

Pietro reverts back to normal for now, welcoming the opportunity for a break as he looks to Seras with a playful smirk.

"So... think turning me into a vampire might help us reach Dharkon and Galeem more quickly? Just bite my neck if the answer's yes."

Thor lets out a frustrated yell, his eyes glowing electric blue as Mjolnir crackles and sparks with lightning.

"Odin's beard, I did NOT come all this bloody way just to waste even more time fighting yet another group of these feckless minions! Galeem, Dharkon, come forth and face me yourselves already, you cowardly piles of bilgesnipe SHIT!"

   "Sounds like a plan to me,"    Anthony says to Zola, extending one of his tendrils towards her sword to tap the blade and imbue it with his own dark power.

   "Heh, remember the first time I did that for you, Zola?"   

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Jul 31st 2019 at 10:39:29 AM

Tarboy drops in through the portal, snarling at the battle going on in the sky. He immediately recognizes the feeling he got from the force that possessed Bunny. These things are not going to get away alive.

"I can't believe it! It's the final battle, and these monstrosities are still not taking us seriously at all! Do they still not take us for a threat? I feel so disrespected!" Mystia exclaims upon seeing Galeem and Dharkon blasting away at each other. "You'd think they'd have joined forces against a common enemy first! Even Konngara was smart enough to put her hatred of me aside when Void Termina invaded!"

"Don't give them any ideas," Sombra replies. "The longer they go at each other, the better for us. In a war, it's all about dividing and conquering. If the enemy divides itself, that's already half the work done for us. However, we should not count our chickens before they've hatched. They're going to keep throwing things at us until there's nothing left to throw, slowly sapping our energy to leave us helpless before them. The outcome of this battle is far from decided."

"I've got the dark one!" says Mystia as she dives through the Ganon portal, followed shortly by Tarboy. Sombra, meanwhile, heads for the Giga Bowser battle.

Somewhere

K!Bowser spews his coffee onto Dedede's face. "...Sorry."

Sanctuary

The neglected spirit of Ganon shudders and briefly flickers.

Giga Bowser's Boss Arena

It's... another Final Destination.

Which means that yes, they will have to watch out for the blast zones.

Bowser appears?! He promptly transforms into Giga Bowser without having to be fought in his normal state first, and lets out a fearsome roar at the assembled fighters.

"Silence!" Meta Knight flies up and does a spinning aerial slash at Giga Bowser.

Ganon's Castle

Similarly, the fighters see a Ganondorf in front of them, before he bursts with power and transforms into the Demon King, Ganon!

The woman does a pole-vault over Ganon's head, immediately going for the obvious weak point that is his tail with a falling slash.

Currently Available: Galleom & Dracula

Sonic jumps up and does a Homing Attack into Galleom's spirit orb, getting sucked away to the location of the forgotten Base...

Mr. Pew Pew fires a Squirt Gun at Dracula's spirit orb, then promptly disappears, having been pulled into Dracula's Castle.

   Were you excepting them to quietly come down ?    asks Swain to the complaining members of the party, rolling his eyes. He and Neuff blast the orb for Galleom while Vivenette choose to go for Dracula with a disk toss ! Only Vision and Vegeta remains.

—

Very well. Thank you for your input nonetheless.

Stay with me, Morgan... let's go.

Miriel rally, raising her daughter's magic and hers. Then they proceed to make a run for it, attempting to blast his tail with a fearsome double Thoron.

—

Vegeta bumrush and attempts to punch Bowser in the snout !

Edited by Bolded1 on Jul 31st 2019 at 11:14:01 AM

   Oh, I am. You've been annoyingly persistent so far, and you've managed to catch my interest.   , Mara says with a laugh.    I want to see what I'm truly up against once this ordeal is all over.   

She reconnects with Miriel.

   You're attacking the tail? ... Ah, I see, it's a weak point.   

Kefla arrives on the battlefield too, and wastes no time in firing blasts at Ganon's head, unaware that this won't deal any damage.

Tuyet turns to Bowser, not intimidated when he transforms, unlike Porky, who does appear a little worried.

   You better not die! I don't know what happens to Spirits of fighters who die!   

   "Quit your yammering and boost me up already."   , Tuyet says, leaping for Giga Bowser with a blade, going for his right leg.

"I don't think you know what an impact being a vampire will have on you.", Seras says, smiling, yet serious. "Your life does change a lot. I only became a vampire because the alternative was bleeding out."

She then turns the atmosphere around again with a smirk of her own.

"Besides, pale skin wouldn't suit you. You're better off a human."

She then notices Galleom and Dracula, and looks conflicted all of a sudden.

"Oh dear, which one of those two should I... um..."

Unable to choose, she fires at both orbs at once. Dracula gets hit first, so Seras gets sucked into that one.

Zola nods at Anthony, putting her arm around his shoulder.

"I sure do. I'm glad you did too. It got Killer Bat interested enough in you that he didn't consider you an enemy until it was too late."

Pride, while still bonded to her, notices how the darkness takes to Zola's weapon and looks intrigued.

   I knew there was something about her.   , he thinks to himself.    She has a natural talent for handling dark energy, even though she seems to be lacking inner darkness. That'll be useful for in the upcoming fight.   

Pilly looks at Thor and looks sympathetic.

"Easy, Thor. Look how close we are to them right now. I'm willing to bet that we'll be able to get to them soon."

She turns to look at the orbs.

"And we should make that happen as quickly as we can!", she says, leaping for Galleom's orb and attacking it, getting sucked in.

Mystia's song changes, turning into an hymn of wrath that calls for the destruction of Galeem and Dharkon in the most painful ways possible, unleashing the primal impulse of the fighters present, giving everyone (but Ganon) a sharp boost to attack damage.

Tarboy, meanwhile, polevaults over Ganon's head - using his own extensible limbs as the pole - and attempts to land with crushing force on the tail.

In Bowser's battlefield, Sombra once again replaces his signature shields on the fighters present, assuming that Giga Bowser's attacks don't have the same armor-piercing properties as those of Galeem and Dharkon.

"Oh, you're about to find out, Mara..."

Wanda maneuvers behind Ganon, notices that Miriel and Morgan were specifically targeting his tail, and utilizes Elemental Magic to fire a lightning bolt towards it, even merging it with their double Thoron.

"Hey, I could probably pull off the pale skin look!"

Pietro dashes at Dracula's orb and throws a quick right hook, resulting in him being sucked into it as well.

Thor takes a moment to calm himself as he prepares for the next round of enemies.

"If there's anything you wish to say, Iris, now might just be the time to speak. Besides, I would appreciate any guidance you might have to offer."

Anthony puts an arm around Zola in return, lifts her bandana ever so slightly, and kisses her head.

"Even now, I'm still amazed that one seemingly insignificant decision I made during the heat of battle would lead to us finding each other. Heaven knows the obstacles we faced from there were daunting, but for you... I'd go through them all ten times over."

Giga Bowser does not take kindly to the attacks. He jumps up and does a Bowser Bomb, plummeting rear-first toward the stage to crush anyone underneath him. The Bowser Bomb will do heavy damage to Sombra's barriers, just barely short of breaking through them completely.

Meta Knight darts out of the way and stabs at Giga Bowser's head as soon as he lands.

Ganon's tail begins letting off smoke, indicating he's close to toppling. He turns around to face those attacking his tail and does a mighty upward slash with both swords.

The woman somehow failed to register that the Demon King was wielding two giant-ass blades, and she gets sent flying.

Tarboy is momentarily outlined in rainbow light and his physical structure trembles, but nothing comes of it. If he checks inside himself, Galleom's spirit is still there.

Down Below

Soma Cruz's spirit flickers.

   "Picky."    He seems distressed for a moment, but then snaps out of it.

Galleom's Base

Galleom appears, in tank form, before transforming to biped mode!

Sonic smirks and rubs his snout, then spin dashes right at the mechanical monstrosity.

Dracula's Castle

Dracula sits on his throne as he tosses his wine glass aside and teleports onto the stage of battle.

Mr. Pew Pew yelps in surprise, but quickly gets over it and hurls a Whole Cream Pie at Dracula's face.

Currently Available: Rathalos & Marx

Mothra lets out a shrill cry as she rams her way into Rathalos' orb, sending herself to the Forest Hill to fight it.

Callis finally acts, rushing at the Marx orb and punching it with tremendous force just as a display of intent, before going into his weird space-dimension herself.

Vision goes for the Rathalos !

—

Miriel creates a Barrier and so does Morgan. The sword do break through, but she take the attack for her daughter, getting some damage done to herself as a result. Not minding the pain yet feeling the buffs, she prepare to attack for when Ganon is downed.

Mo-... oh, yeah. says Morgan, who begins to charge again.

Vegeta is nearly crushed, but escape with his flight. He flies in a loop to build momentum and goes for a kick at the maniacal turtle !

—

Swain and Neuff attack together, using a lightning bolt to do so.

—

Vivenette jump and goes for a mid-air doublekick attack at Dracula !
