"Well, after Galeem and Dharkon's demise, Loki and I agreed that letting Thanos go unchecked would only result in another mass catastrophe. Therefore, we decided that we'd vanquish the bastard before he could enact whatever his grand scheme might be."
Thor lets out a long, heavy sigh.
"However, things have not been going smoothly thus far. I'm assuming you've at least heard about what happened to Cinke and her laboratory..."

From two different directions a few characters approach the structure.
"Ahuh!"
Ami and Rbade look at the structure - she seems significantly less cautious than him.
"That thing is going to hatch and kill everyone," he says, already putting on his combat equipment.
How do you know, man? Maybe it's a nice egg!
"Does it look like a nice egg on top of a nice tower to you?"
On the complete opposite side of the gym is the newly-arrived trainer Gohan.
"That... looks like a Pokémon's egg. ... A really big one. What's it doing here?"
He brings out his ace psyduck and both groups continue to approach.

King of the Monsters
10 Minutes Later
The egg hatches... explosively.
One gigantic spooky-looking boy
emerges, and makes an alien roaring sound.
Eternatus appeared!

"He's gearing up for war."
Axonn's mask glows in a similar manner to Botar's earlier. He then turns to Pseudo and nods.
"Excellent. Then we-"
"I think I did it again~ How was I supposed-to know~ That something wasn't right, here?~" , Tahn's singing voice suddenly rings from one of the monitor's, and if Majima looks, he'll be able to see him, singing and doing a little dance. Pseudo looks comically unamused.
"Oh, he's at it again..."
Botar, surprisingly, does look a little amused. He turns to Majima.
"To keep him placated, we let him listen to what Pseudo described as 'modern music'. However-"
"Might seem like a crush~ Shouldn't have let-you go~ And now you're out of sight, yeah!~"
"After hearing two specific songs a few days ago, he insisted that they're the same song with different words, so now he's been mixing the lyrics of both into one song to prove his point.", Pseudo says. "Which isn't an issue, but-"
"Show me how you want it to be~ That is just so typically me, oh baby, baby~"
"After the first time he did this, he said it didn't feel right, so he started over while making minimal changes."
"He's been doing that for a while now, and Pseudo's gotten a bit weary of hearing the same melody over and over again.", Botar chuckles.
"My loneliness... is killing me, and I-~ Got lost in the game, oh baby, baby~ When I'm not with you I lose my mind~ Give me a siiiiiiign~ I'm not-that-innocent!~"
Tahn then pauses.
"... eh... doesn't feel right yet... gonna have to start over."
Pseudo immediately turns back to Majima.
"Come, I'm taking you to him so that you can talk.", he hastily says, walking into one of the hallways. Botar still looks amused, then looks back at Majima.
"I will be keeping an eye on the situation from here. If the situation, for whatever reason, turns too bad, and if I deem it necessary to do, I will come in and warp you out, regardless of objections. So keep things peaceful in there."
"Sounds like the smartest thing to do, yeah.", Claus says. He then looks surprised, and very worried.
"We've heard he attacked someone, but I didn't know it was Cinke. Are she and Platinum alright?"
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
[PASIO]
i am so sorry for this thing's GIRTH
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!"
"Ah!" Language, mister!
The explosion does catch a lot of people’s attention. Like, a lot. Was big boom. Characters flood in from the surrounding map, instantly recognize that whatever this is, it’s bad, and start throwing attacks.
Ami and Rbade, being right there, fire a few projectiles rapid-fire before immediately booking it. Gohan commands Sighduck to use Psybeam – what type is this thing, anyways? Psychic? Glitch? First to arrive (besides the ones already there) is Cecilia, who lies in wait. That thing is fucking huge. Amiens and Ptoothy on the other hand rush right the fuck in and try to wail on the hilariously overpowered monstrosity. Their fellow monster Bruegel also floats in, but takes a more passive strat trying to latch onto Eternatus’s backside.
The Spider is next and immediately squeaks in fear. Huge! HUGE! It fires up it’s RADIO CHAOS Spell Card – better hope that thing is super effective. A wild Pheremosa also shows up, and starts to use Quiver Dance in the background.
A Megumin gapes in awe at the size of that thing. She gulps, before whipping out an RPG and aiming from her vantage point. Near her, Kailob begins to prepare Pain Cannon – his species’s signature move. An emblem representing the Normal-type starts to whirl around him.
Shadow Man slips out of said shadows and throws a Shadow Blade. He grunts as it rebound long before reaching his target – he then starts to advance.
“Need a lift?"
He turns to see the little red communist, Ran Cossack. He nods, and before long is standing on a massive pile of… bodies.
CHAOS MICROWAVE manifests above the battlefield. It gurgles something before spewing black sludge, some of which may drop onto the resident raid boss.
Regardless, out of the sludge manifest more monstrosities. Kentucky Fried Man shrieks before attempting to maul the comically larger-than-him Pokémon, alongside Legbus, Mantaur, Legs, Franken Head, Long Jellyfish, and Wallet. Truckstificate shows up too, but just sort of drives off. Eggmet squeals in terror and hunkers down.
Ceph, a few buildings away, digresses. … What the hell. He pulls out his Plamsa Cannon and starts charging up a shot. Doropie is unwittingly engaged in a very similar thing on the opposite side of Eternatus.
A repitllian soldier, Mawuh, Launch, and some guy holding a stick of dynamite just start firing on it like crazy. Dawn (the cave girl) joins them in tossing her club like a javelin. Bricksly and fellow soldier Imperial Guard are a bit more disciplined. They take cover behind a few buildings and take precise shots. The same with a Squidward, who is apparently very proficient with an M1 Carbine.
The Eldritch Devil cackles before melting into the ground.
Karstodes and Fighter are there, apparently. They don’t really know what to do - neither of them can fly, nor has effective projectile attacks. Wait – Fighter has thrown his sword! And Karstodes is copying him by throwing himself.
Thraganrok follows a similar example - he swings his carpenter’s hammer hard enough to fly, and tries to bash the Pokémon’s brains in. Kurriket is able to actually fly – he slowly flutters up to the Eternatus before trying to summon a Firebomb point-blank.
Skelethomas does a Funny TM and tries to transform into Sun of Train.
Ginger is surprised. Her first outing here, and a giant monster shows up? Shrugging, starts prepare a lightning spell.
Toki rushes towards the battlefield, his sense of duty compelling him to face the monster. Once he gets within a couple dozen meters he kicks off the ground, ready to try and land a powerful kick. Guldo, who was relaxing nearby, nearly falls flat on his face as the battle starts. Gah! He psychically launches a barrage of rocks Eternatus’s way.
The flare of ki catches the attention of other ki users in the vicinity. The Great Saiyamen, Vegeta Junior, Rambuta, Napari, Bardock, Beruka, a Perfect Cell, and Lord Artic all converge on the scene.
“G-Gohan?! What is that–“
"GYARRICK HOU!"
Only Beruka, Bardock, and Artic launch attacks, though.
Harmburger harmburgs. He tosses raw meat, centipedes, and cleavers at the Pokémon.
Spiritia, a Mega Man, and Django were apparently in the middle of some sort of heated discussion before the eggsplosion knocked them out of it. They very quickly settle their differences and start training their respective weapons on it - the Soul Cannon, Mega Buster, and Gun del Sol.
Rocketboost man careens onto the scene and is on a collision course with Eternatus. Dr. Waaaa follows shortly after in his UFO to monitor. And also shoot Eternatus.
“Hey! Launch me up!"
Alika looks at the strange man. “Me?" she asks, pointing to herself.
“Yeah! You look bouncy, right? Launch me up at it!"
The slime processes the question for a second before shrugging and fucking decking the guy with a sudden massive fist. He goes sailing, whips his knife out, and hollers in excitement as he rockets towards the leviathan.
A Moo simply falls out of the sky on a course with Eternatus. Maybe it’s vulnerable to the mook’s touch?
Azula curses from the far back – yet starts charging up a blast of lightning.
Zoom Skull panics and dials for reinforcements - Dr. Gray, Dr. Gray! Said Dr. shows up quite quickly and throws out a Chansey?.
Super Snatch Man does absolutely fucking nothing. That is not a Mega Man. It is then swamped by every single spider in the Telemidae family at once. Good god. Kek and Grumio slip around in the background.
"G R U M I U S M U S T F I G H T"
“No! That is a bad plan!"
Kek grabs by the arm Grumio before throwing him full-throttle into the fray.
Argentite crawls up out of the ground and immediately starts building a ramp up to Eternatus. Miyuki impatiently waits on the ramp growing up - no, she isn’t associated with the abomination. She just noticed the growing ramp. Hurry up! This big lizard ruined her nice Sunday - it needs to be punished.
Somewhere in the city there is an Ow-gow growing in an alleyway. It cannot move, for it is a plant.
Trainer sends out a Hercuttle, and orders it to use Snipe Saw. It’s super effective! Maybe.
ATLAS grumbles to himself, before hoisting a poor Kirito over his head.
“W-wh-gah! What are you doing–?!"
Yeet.
Skippy tries to use the Force. Unfortunately, Eternatus might not need to really breathe, so he ends up just trying to force-slap it around.
QONT drops out of a portal and attempts to nail the Pokémon with Sakugarne. As in, he used it as a projectile.
Ochimo laughs lightly before pelting Eternatus with a few scattered fireballs.
A Coeurl and Mothman himself dive-bomb the target. They shriek in fury that something dares to be this large. A Gourmand feels similarly, but lumbers much more slowly towards the fight.
Brain gurgles in the background. “Humbug." He grumbles when he notices Telemidae; ah, that old hag! What a cougar, and charlatan!
Kyoko lumbers onto the scene in her Knight. She starts to rev up the gun, and before long bullets spray the sky. Unfortunately, some friendly fire occurs – Arachnolacanth, Puroto, and Ika are tagged.
"U-uwaaaaaah! M-m-m…!"
"Do not worry, young squid," he says as he drags her to relative safety. Puroto is left cursing and screaming on the floor, Hamon coursing through his bloodstream.
And to cap it all off, a fucking Omega Kroach from the Nuclearverse lumbers over the horizon. It’s on the same level of massive as Eternatus itself – definitely an intimidating sight, and it would probably be a formidable opponent were this not Eternatus’s own boss fight. Another mech – the words MOBILE SUIT AUSTIN printed on its side – mimics it from the other direction.
The Omega Kroach has a slight dressing of Delta Kroach on it. The Delta fires a quick volley of plasma balls at the target.
The third fellow colossus to wander onto the scene is a Tall Creature
◊ – and holy fucking shit it is a quarter of a mile tall.
"COLD"
Speedeye Boy and Faery Killer try to help evacuate the area, with Waluigi, Konata Izumi, Mitsuki, Max the Spider-Troll, Quack, Bonnie, Rami, Puroto, Death
◊, Cap’n Zee, Mitsuki, Amoeboi, Vent, and Jack Muggles following.

King of the Monsters
Majima simply follows Pseudo. However, as he proceeds along, he whistles a tune of his own.
- Plushter fire = Normal-type, normal effectiveness
- Ami's arrows = Fairy-type, normal effectiveness
- Psybeam = super-effective
- All unarmed/bodily-impact attacks = Normal-type or Fighting-type, depending on the martial prowess of the user (Toki seems to be using what is pretty much just High Jump Kick)
- RADIO CHAOS = Dark-type
- Shadow Blade, if it hit, would be Dark-type
- Chaos Sludge = Poison-type, not very effective
- Firearms = Steel-type
- Club = Ground-type, super effective
- Fighter's sword, Thraganrok's hammer = Steel-type
- Firebomb = Fire-type (obviously), not very effective
- Guldo's rocks = Rock-type
- Ki attacks = Fighting-type, not very effective
- Harmburger's ??? = Poison-type
- Snipe Saw = Steel-type
- Force Slap = Psychic-type
- Sakugarne = Steel-type
- Leaping/human-projectile attacks = Flying-type
If Gohan has some cognizance of what attacks are and aren't effective, he should be able to deduce that Eternatus is a Poison-type, and its secondary type is resistant to Fire and weak to Fairy (since Poison resists Fairy but Eternatus took neutral damage from Ami's arrows), which means it's Dragon.
Eternatus used Cross Poison!
It projects streams of poison, like a water cutter, from its glass-like finger-pendages. Understandably irate at being viciously assaulted just after coming into being, it swipes its claws across the battlefield, accompanied by this cutting poison effect.
Eternatus used Flamethrower!
>waitthat'sillegal.jpg
Immediately after its poison attack, it spews a gout of intense flame upon those trying to flee from it.
"He's gearing up for war."
[PASIO]
The Cross Poison reaps the battlefield, felling a great number of combatants. Ami and Rbade, along with Gohan, are actually close enough to avoid being hit, but the rest of the battlefield doesn’t fare so well.
The Tall Creature is cut down by the Cross Poison. It wails before falling forwards, threatening to collapse onto Eternatus. The Kroaches and MOBILE SUIT AUSTIN start to prepare energy attacks.
The Flamethrower disintegrates the small fleeing party. It’s… well, it’s better off not described. Speedeye Boy, Konata, Max, Amoeboi, Quack, Bonnie, Puroto, and Rami are all consumed by flame.
Faery Killer, Waluigi, Mitsuki, Death, Jack, and Vent all manage to survive. Faery-Killer, Vent, and Waluigi via skill enough to avoid the flames. Mitsuki and Jack simply got lucky – and of course, one can’t kill Death.
“P-por…?”
Indeed, Vent, indeed.
Since it had to go through some distance to get to its targets, there are a few more smoldering casualties. Trainer and his Pokémon, Skippy, QONT, ATLAS, Ginger, Gourmand, Ptoothy, Amiens, Coeurl, Mothman, Ran, Shadow Man, Kentucky Fried Man, Mantaur, Truckstificate, Wallet, Long Jellyfish, Frankenhead, Legs, Mawuh, the soldier, Launch, Dynamite Thor, Legbus, Chaos Microwave Harmburger, Skelethomas, Toki, Argentite, Miyuki, and Guldo are all reduced to ashes and slag.
Before he was slagged, Shadow Man managed to throw a flurry of shurikens.
Mega Man is just far enough from its path to survive, but Django and Spiritia quite as lucky. She has to bawoop out of the way while Django… well, he manages to get off a Pineapple Grenade before he’s gone.
Mega Man fires an Ice Slasher at the Pokémon, while Spiritia shoots a charged Soul Cannon shot.
Eggmet reveals himself at this time, fires a potshot, and hunkers down again.
The Spider manages to avoid the attacks, and starts pelting it with blasts. Bruegel starts to try to use Drain Life – essentially Dark-type Leech Life.
Cecilia quickly flashes out of the shadow, throws a long slash at the target, and slips out of sight again.
Artic, Beruka, and Bardock were all sturdy enough to remain intact after the Cross Poison. Only Artic is in one piece, though; Beruka and Bardock fall from the sky in pieces. The Perfect Cell and Napari are barely recognizable.
The Cross Poison clips the Knight and causes it to topple. Kyoko curses as she jumps out and throws her spear.
Vegeta Junior fires a Sword Beam, while the Great Saiyamen rush in for a combination attack. Rambuta starts to charge an energy blast.
Rocketboost man and Dr. Waaaa survive the attacks, but the Doctor is unable to see and crashes into Eternatus. Rocketboost man soon follows, as is his sad function.
Alika pops up from the ground. She had compressed herself against it to avoid the Flamethrower; that was scary.
”G-geez…”
The Eldritch Devil reappears behind her, and tries to absorb her. She screams as she bats it away – infighting at a time like this?!
Bricksly and his fellow snipers manage to avoid the attacks, and keep up the assault.
Sporacles, somehow, manages to stick the landing by jamming his blade into the side of a building.
From their vantage points, Ceph and Doropie fire their attacks. A magic blast and a massive stream of plasma hit Eternatus at almost the same spot.
The Moo isn’t here anymore. No one saw how it died. What is still here, however, is the damn swarm of Telemidae spiders – which are quickly set on fire by Azula’s bolt of lightning. Bright side – some of it gets to Super Snatch Man, who is provoked into firing on Eternatus.
Chansey? uses Swagger! Zoom Skull uses Tailwind!
Kek laughs in the background as Grumio runs frantically, having no idea what to do. Maybe a spoon? He throws a spoon.
… He then finds the Ow-gow. Can this thing do anything? Yes, it can try to eat him. Kirito sticks his landing, and ends on the ground next to Sporacles.
“Hey! You!”
“Hah? What are yoooou… need some help down?”
“Yes, actually.”
Thraganrok throws his hammer before being cut down by the Cross Poison.
Karstodes just slams into the ground, tanking the damage. The Flamethrower sets his oil on fire, though, and he shrieks. Fighter manages to save himself with his blocking prowess – but the fire flows into the vacuum behind him quickly,
Ochimo managed to survive – and he is impressed! He quickly lops off his own hand and starts to devil incantations. Brain notices and waddles over, boosting its effectiveness.
Arachnalocanth is shredded into pieces by the Cross Poison and finished off by the Flamethrower. Alive, but incapacitated hard. Ika can really only look in horror, before curling up and trying to gather whatever weapons she can. The claws?
An emblem representing the Fire-type winks into existence next to Kailob. Megumin X pulls out a grenade launcher and starts firing.
KILL COUNT: Tall Creature, Speedeye Boy, Konata, Max, Amoeboi, Quack, Bonnie, Puroto, Rami, Skippy, Qont, Atlas, Ginger, Gourmand, Ptoothy, Amiens, Coeurl, Mothman, Shadow Man, Kentucky Fried Man, Mantaur, Truckstificate, Wallet, Long Jellyfish, Frankenhead, Legs, Mawuh, Soldier of the Race, Launch, Dynamite Thor, Legbus, Chaos Microwave, Harmburger, Skelethomas, Toki, Argentite, Miyuki, Guldo, Django, Beruka, Bardock, Napari, Perfect Cell, Rocketboost Man, Dr. Waaaa, Moo, Telemidae.

Pseudo actually appears intrigued.
"What song are you whistling? I've never heard it before."
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
King of the Monsters
"Just a song I sang in karaoke bars during my youth. 24-Hour Cinderella. You would've had to be there, man." Majima continues whistling.
Eternatus roars as it falls to the ground, being beaten up on... but then shoots up into the sky on a jet-engine-like burst of energy, disappearing into the clouds, before the sky darkens and turns red.
It emerges from above, now a terrifying hand-like monstrosity attached to the end of a serpentine body,
◊ and even more titanic than before. At its new size, it could squash them all flat with a simple slap. Yes, even Omega Kroach.
It unleashes an earsplitting, earthshaking shriek!
Desperate Struggle! Eternamax Eternatus
Eternamax Eternatus begins building up power, which the Dragon Ball characters should be able to sense - it's otherworldly like Majin Buu, not outright divine. As it continues to gather energy, it exudes an overwhelming pressure that causes any attempt to strike it stop dead in its tracks. Melee attacks stop mid-swing, gunshots suffer hesitation to pull the trigger, energy blasts stop charging and dissipate, et cetera.
Edited by KiriK on Jul 21st 2021 at 9:27:55 AM
"He's gearing up for war."
[PASIO]
The Great Saiyaman stops dead in his tracks.
“Good god…”
Vegeta Junior and Rambuta touch down on the same building. They seem to notice each other specifically for the first time.
”A… a saiyan? Here? Ew…”
Faery-Killer and the other relatively low-powered characters with him flee for cover. Jack kicks down a door and waves everyone in. Death decides to ‘sacrifice’ himself by guarding the entrance. It hisses in Eternatus’s general direction.
The younger Gohan, the one with Pokémon, gulps. He doesn’t even try to attack Eternatus this turn – he does, however, use an X Sp. Attack. Mega Man and Spiritia are just frozen in ‘jesus christ what in the goddamn’ before turning tail to find a better vantage point. She almost trips over Eggmet (”Wait, what? What’s this thing doing here…?”) before scooping him up and continuing to run.
The Spider lands on a building next to a severely injured Artic.
”…!”
“Help… me…”
Make that a dead Artic. Who is now spider food - waste not, want not.
Bruegel, the dummy, is lazily floating around the battlefield. Dr. Gray grumbles upon the message popping up: “Your Pokémon can't use moves due to a mysterious force!” He settles for an X Accuracy.
Cecilia just looks at it, before noping out. That thing is fucking massive. Brain curls into a fetal position while Ochimo continues his incantation. There’s a wild look in his eyes - yeah, he fucking lost it a long time ago.
Alika manages to throw off the Eldritch Devil and reach the relative safety of the Ow-gow’s alley.
”S O M E H E L P Y O U N E E D ?”
”Ah!”
Kek teleports behind you. Nothing personal, kid. He then proceeds to throw her at the Ow-gow – and a second later, the Eldritch Devil surges past only to be snatched up by the plant.
Alika stands up, shaking.
”T-thanks…?”
”K E K” Super Snatch Man fires a charged shot at Eternatus – it probably won’t even reach it, though.
Doropie and Ceph both take cover. Ceph is calculating furiously, but still kind of scared. Big monster! Doropie immediately clicks over to her Flame spell, but finds herself unable to fire.
Kirito helps Sporacles up. Seems like he didn’t get down in the gentlest manner.
“Aaaare you okay in that thing?”
“What thing?”
“The scuba suit? In the middle of a city.”
“Oh, yeah, I wear it everywhere!”
‘Uhhhhhuh.” Bricksly and his fellow snipers do not move. They’re stock-still, frozen in trepidation behind their respective concealments.
Kyoko’s Knight is still dilapidated. She sighs as she evacuates it, rushing to cover. Shit. Shouldn’t have thrown the spear away.
Fighter keeps blocking. Is the fire still there? His eyes are closed. Karstodes pulls himself to his feet, burned all over but intact.
Ika sniffles before ripping off one of Arachnolacanth’s claws. ”This… this will work out…” She then takes one look at new Eternatus before hiding back behind the still body.
Kailob’s Pain Cannon stop charging and winks out. Dang! Megumin notices and offers him a Mana Potion so he can try again next time.
In the distance, MOBILE SUIT AUSTIN slowly starts turning away from Eternatus while Delta Kroach flops to the ground and slithers away. In contrast, Omega Kroach continues to charge its beam.
/＼｡｡/＼
Thor gives a nod of confirmation.
"She managed to escape in time and he's currently operating from a smaller facility. Of course, the fact still remains that her laboratory is now little more than a smoking ruin and she's been forced into hiding..."
"Karaoke? I've heard of that, but I've never witnessed one before.", Pseudo says as he turns left into a hallway that leads down a little, then straight forward again into a hallway with multiple doors on its sides, each one being near a glass wall.
"I see... but at the very least they're alright.", Claus says. He then looks confused.
"Wait, what's Thanos got to do with you visiting my base?"

"Maybe if you weren't A NARC," Majima jabs, "I could take you and your pals out to a showing some time."
Eternatus continues building up power and exerting its pressure. Its 'hand' slinks ever closer to the middle of the commotion, trying to discombobulate its foes and send them scattering.
"He's gearing up for war."
[PASIO]
“Boo! BOOOO!” Rbade yells. Ami agrees. That’s cheating!
"Does anyone know of any kind of power that might be able to break this pressure?!" Gohan asks.
It clicks in Rbade's head. Epic flashback moment! He takes off his plushter and pulls out the Master Ball from within. “Jesus, I choose you!"
With an overly-dramatic throw that causes him to stumble and fall on his face, he lets it fly, and it releases its contents.
boi that's a whole-ass arceus
“USE JUDGEMENT!” “Ice Beam, Sighduck!” ”Ahah!” Ami hits Arachnolacanth with a healing arrow. It picks up a surprised Ika and staggers to its feet.
The snipers start up their fire again, while Kek pops into the middle of the battlefield. Mega Man, Spiritia, and Eggmet pop out from behind their own cover and start to imitate them.
Super Snatch Man acts similarly, but goes for more charged shots rather than rapid fire. Ceph starts charging another plasma beam, while Doropie sacrifices half her health to hit Eternatus with a Phoenix Burst.
The Saiyamen, Vegeta Junior, and Rambuta fan out before firing separate barrages of ki blasts. Well, the Great Saiyaman 2 is forced to try and get a physical hit in.
Bruegel floats down towards Eternatus, intent on sucking more of its life force for itself.
Kek warps tp the middle of the city –
”G O”
The melee-weapons fighters (Kirito, Sporacles, Kyoto, Fighter, and Karstodes) find themselves able to strike at range, as though this was a real-life JRPG where distance matters not in accuracy. Swipe, and hit.
The muggles remain in their building, waiting out the fight. Death meows.
Alika launches a semi-reluctant Grumio into the air and towards Eternatus. He mutters a prayer to Neptune before managing to generate an orb of saltwater in his palm (like some sort of wet Rasengan).
Kailob thanks Megumin and starts charging up a Pain Cannon again. Emblems for the Fire, Normal, Water, and Grass-types pop up around him as he gathers energy. Megumin starts chugging mana herself.
MOBILE SUIT AUSTIN turns a full 360 degrees before launching a series of missiles. Omega Kroach, in contrast, fires an absurdly terrifying beam of raw light.
Chansey? used Metronome! Chansey? called Fairy Wind!
Down in the city
Ochimo manages to summon help!
Wild Dugstruction appeared! The younger Gohan and Rbade can only look at it in ‘what in the goddamn’ before it uses Earth Power.
Ochimo then faints from blood loss and curls up next to Brain.
/＼｡｡/＼
King of the Monsters
Judgment descends successfully and smashes into Eternatus like a Kill Sat. Suddenly, the power it's been building up disperses into the atmosphere, accidentally rejuvenating the (still-living) opposition.
All the other attacks, no longer impeded, strike true at Eternatus, Ice Beam and Earth Power for super effective damage!
Eternatus roars and releases more energy.
Eternatus nullified the stat changes and Abilities of other Pokémon!
... actually of all combatants, but who cares!
Eternatus used Max Wyrmwind!
Oh shit.
Infernal purple flames well up in the center of Eternatus' coiled-up mass in the sky, spreading out before closing in around Arceus and exploding into a giant purple hurricane with dragon-wing projections of light sticking out of it. The blast also releases a wave of black-and-blueish energy that spreads across the battlefield, reducing the physical attack power of all combatants.

"He's gearing up for war."
Pseudo looks genuinely and comically confused at being called a narc.
"What is a... 'narc'?", he asks, sounding really unsure. He then shakes his head.
"Impossible. We cannot leave the base unattended. We're lucky nobody managed to get inside and loot the place when we were all caught by Galeem's attacks. This place was empty for over half a year because of him. Not to mention that bringing us all outside will almost certainly incite an Assassin attack."
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
[PASIO]
Arceus loses a good chunk of its health. Only the Kroach, MOBILE SUIT, Azula, Megumin, and Kailob are far away enough to avoid the effects of the attack. Everyone else is hit.
The MOBILE SUIT fires more missiles, while Omega Kroach starts stomping closer. The sounds of grinding gears start to dominate the landscape.
Dugstruction just fires off an Earth Power again – it’s a Special move.
Rbade and Ami slap into the side of a building. Gohan is able to stand his ground, but the dragon stuff hurts. They managed to avoid the brunt of it, though.
”Ah!”
She tries to heal herself.
Ochimo is finished off by the buffeting of the Wyrmwind. Brain isn’t killed per se, but he is blasted off the battlefield. Kek is gone. Where did he go? Nobody knows. Grumio slaps onto a building and is severely injured; lucky for him that he lands next to Doropie, who manages to drag him to cover.
Ceph isn’t so lucky and is blown off his building.
The ki users brace themselves, and with the exception of the Great Saiyaman 2 stand their ground. The Great Saiyaman takes off to grab her while the others resume their barrage.
Karstodes and Kirito, are slammed into buildings. They’re all right; it’s more than can be said for Kyoko, which distresses Karstodes when he finds out. He furiously starts trying to swipe at Eternatus.
Fighter’s magical blocking abilities protect him, and Sporacles right behind him. Alike runs over to Sporacles, and with a nod between them launches him back at Eternatus. This is her life now.
The snipers were all behind cover, but were also a lot squishier. Bricksly survives with several wounds, but Squidward and the other soldier don’t make it out. Mega Man, Spiritia, Eggmet, and Super Snatch Man were all sturdy enough to survive but not enough to keep up their attack. They get off a couple of shots each. Chansey? is immune to the first attack due to its typing, while the latter is basically a Status move. Sighduck falls on his face. It’s returned and Rocky is sent out in its place to use Sand Attack.
Kailob reaches the next stage of his charge – emblems for the Fighting, Psychic, Dark, and Ghost types pop up. Megumin takes her rocket launcher and starts disassembling it… and slaps it back together into a staff!
Bruegel latches on to Eternatus and starts Drain Life-ing.

Majima seems genuinely surprised that Pseudo didn't catch his meaning. "... Someone who ain't officially a cop but acts like one."
Eternatus does not take kindly to life-drain attacks.
Eternatus used Max Ooze!
Poison flows out from every square inch of its body. There are a number of possible ways for this to dislodge Bruegel - drowning, functional poisoning, or the "soap on a tick" approach where it's just so thick and heavy that it drags Bruegel off of it.
And then the poison that falls to the ground sinks into it, before erupting into miniature geysers of toxins in random spots all over the battlefield.
Eternatus' Sp. Atk rose!
That ain't good.
"He's gearing up for war."
[PASIO]
Well, regardless of how, Bruegel is fucking gone. Chansey? Is KOed as well, so Dr. Gray sends out a Dracovish in its stead. Rocky uses Detect to avoid the attack.
Arceus avoids the attacks by virtue of floating up in the air. Rbade and Ami, on the other hand, have to dance around.
”AH!”
“ARCEUS, SWORDS DANCE!”
The deity’s eyes glow red as it dances. Gohan helps out by tossing him a Berserk Gene item, which Rbade quickly applies to his Pokémon. It shrieks in rage and Confusion.
Dugstruction isn’t affected too badly; Ground resists Poison. It, uh, goes for a Tri Attack.
Bricksly has only a second to say something along the lines of “Emperor damn it–“ before being washed off the face of the planet by a geyser erupting right under him. Mega Man slides out of the way and fires a potshot, but Spiritia and Super Snatch Man are washed away. Eggmet pops up after the attack and flips up before launching itself at Eternatus for a jump kick.
“VIDEL!”
Videl was big oofed by a blast of poison. The Great Saiyaman, very pissed off by this turn of events, explodes into a Super Saiyan and fires a Masenko. Rambuta throws a few energy discs while Vegeta Junior squeals from some ooze just touching the bottoms of his feet.
Karstodes is finally done in by an explosion of goop; Kirito is able to dodge it and throw a swipe. Sporacles doesn’t touch down until the Max Ooze has passed, while Alika launches Fighter - his turn now.
MOBILE SUIT AUSTIN is far enough away from the center of the battlefield to avoid the attack, but is knocked over by a newcomer. It’s legs scrabble as the new combatant starts to approach the city.
”What is this? This dragon is of a breed unfamiliar to me – I wonder, will it sing?”
The other megacombatant, the Kroach, fires a short barrage of laser pulses. Azula shoots a lightning bolt, while Kailob generates emblems for the Fairy, Bug, Flying, and Dragon types.
Megumin X raises her staff.
”Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark, ”I beseech thee, combine with my deep crimson. ”The time of awakening cometh.”

"I was actually wondering if you'd be interested in aiding our little war effort. Rest assured, you do not have to fight Thanos himself or sneak aboard his warship, if you really don't want to," Thor explains. "If you would instead prefer to, say.... donate resources that Platinum might find useful, you'll hear no objections from me."

"I'm not trying to be a cop, I'm trying to keep my allies safe. I'm only keeping him here until we've finished working on the base, after which we will try to contact the police force from his home world. ... Once we know which world he comes from.", Pseudo says. He then stops and points at the glass wall next to them. If Majima looks, he'll be able to see Ken Tahn doing a small dance, though he isn't singing at this moment.
Pseudo then unlocks the door and he immediately stops dancing.
"It's not dinner time yet. To what do I owe this honor?", Tahn asks with a teasing grin, clearly aware that his repetitive melody is annoying Pseudo.
"I brought you a visitor."
"Another one? Aren't I popular lately.", he snarks. "Who is it?"
Pseudo then motions for Majima to enter the room.
Claus looks surprised. Then he looks troubled.
"You're... asking that at the worst possible time. I have my hands full handling our cooperation with G.E.M., and pretty much all of our resources are pretty much the things they're excavating from the Arena for their world's sake. Aah, but I can't just do nothing, especially not after Cinke and Platinum helped me so much...", he says, sounding really torn on what to do. "I want to help, there has to be something I can do, but-"
He then stops talking, completely freezing up for a moment as his eyes go blank. Which, considering that Thor most likely did not see that coming, might worry the god of thunder upon seeing it.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
King of the Monsters
Majima just grumbles in response to Pseudo, then walks in.
He strikes a pose.
Eternatus continues to be mad. However, Dracovish's horrific state seems to disgust it, or at least any psychics in the area would detect a strong sense of revulsion towards the Frankensteinian fossil Pokémon in particular.
Eternatus used Max Flare!
Energy builds up in the 'palm' of its 'hand', from which a giant fireball erupts in the direction of the Green Death's voice, exploding into a big mushroom cloud on impact. Beat THAT, Megumin X.
As the flames shoot up into the sky, it gets brighter.
The sunlight turned harsh!
"He's gearing up for war."
"What the Hel?!"
Needless to say, Claus suddenly freezing up mid-sentence takes Thor completely by surprise. Once the initial shock has worn off, he cautiously prods at him with Stormbringer.
"...Claus?"

Eggmet and Megaman continue to pelt the giant Pokémon with shots. Fighter and Sporacles also try to keep up their assault, though the latter finds himself unable to reach his target. Azula fires another lightning bolt.
Alika and Kirito are unlucky enough to be caught in the path of the attack and are reduced to ashes. Vegeta Junior is durable enough to tank it, but he flinches. Rambuta and The Great Saiyaman fire powerful beams at the target – though the latter is just a few orders of magnitudes more damaging.
MOBILE SUIT AUSTIN is reduced to slag – the Green Death, however, resists the attack.
”Impudence! Not even the courtesy of a greeting before the first attack?!”
The massive dragon surges forwards, and throws an honestly terrifying slash with its talons. Green fire puffs from its nostrils.
Rbade and Ami stagger as the ground shakes. She finally finds the time to hit ‘’him’’ with a healing arrow, as he orders Arceus to use “EXTREME SPEED!” Fate falls in his favor, and the massively stat-boosted Arceus rockets into Eternatus.
Rocky uses Sand Attack, while Gray’s Dracovish uses Fishous Rend. The wild Dugstruction attacks with Earth Power.
The Omega Kroach does nothing. The appearance of the Green Death has gotten it calculating which combatant takes higher priority – the new arrival, Eternatus, or the Arceus?
Around Kailob, emblems of the Rock, Steel, Ground, and Poison types appear. It’s almost ready to fire! Megumin X, though, is ready to fire ‘’right the hell now’’. And with the boost Fire-type moves get from harsh sunlight…
”… Return all creation to cinders, and come from the abyss! ”The mightiest means of attack, the ultimate attack magic! ”EXPLOOOOOOSION!!!”
/＼｡｡/＼
Majima looks genuinely offended at the suggestion that he would lie. He glares at Axonn, trying to impose on him. Good luck with that.
"I came here to talk to the kid. No other motives. If you hurt him while he was here, though, I will have to kick the responsible party's ass."
OP Event Space, Where Balphin Happened?
Some kind of structure
has placed itself on the ambiguously-located site of the past battle with the terrible Balphin.
Sparkling particles of light, like shooting stars, begin to descend upon the gym as a mysterious egg
◊ manifests on top of it.
The mysterious holographic timer starts off reading 00:10:00, but quickly changes to 00:09:59, continuing to tick down as the seconds pass...
Countdown to Battle
