Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Grimm didnt notice Killer!Kirby so the knife went through something but not the thing that Kirby wanted it to go through "Aww man. This was a new robe as well too." Grimm hit his scythe on the ground it then began to glow.

Lab Exterior

Dylan: "Okay, so that didn't work. I'll just unlock the secret to your BS then!"

Dylan winds up for a punch, before materializing Traveler and going for a stab instead, attempting to stab clean through the Phantom!

Gold Tager charges the MegaSnipers, using the magnet trick to try to grab them both and do a flying slam on them both!

Datascape Observation Balcony

Tager's eyes follow the Snipers before zipping back to the revived Sentry.

Tager: "What the hell is going on here? You should have stayed down... The Arena's revival system isn't instant."

Regardless, Tager goes for a grab on the Sentry; if successful, he'll chuck it in the direction of the snipers before going for a dashing punch to the three of them.

East Hallway 1F

Android Rugal and Painwheel, sensing a lack of enemies, retreat from the scene.

West Hallway 2F; 1 Floor Away from Roof

Kokonoe snarls, magnets activating from behind the Acheron bots in order to hold them in place.

She then fires two fireballs, one at each, before painting the area that they stand in with bullets.

Kokonoe: "This should do you in. Nobody intrudes on my watch!"

The Undead Chaser goes flying back and OOF's into the aether.

"Frozen...?" Rey looks over at the Sorcerers.

"OH SHIT THEY HAVE THOSE RESURRECTION BLOCK THINGS"

And just like that, the Sorcerers un-die and are good as new. The Frost Sorcerer shoots a bolt of ice magic at Arachnos, while the Flame Sorcerer takes a shot at Rbade.

Rey notices the League MegaChaser running towards him. He switches to Beat Saber and does a spin slash to try and repel it.

The Altair bosses finally break their circling formation. The Altair MegaChaser goes ZOOM and tries to just run Dylan the fuck over, while the Altair MegaSniper starts drifting around the battlefield, shooting at Gold Tager as it goes.

The MegaDragon finally gets its ass moving again and starts slowly stomping towards the center of the action.

Aaaand pop goes the Ghastly Phantom. It seems "Keyblade" trumps all forms of resistance and immunity that aren't specifically "immunity to Keyblade".

>thatwaseasy.mp3

There are four MegaSnipers, not counting the MegaDragon. Save for the Altair MegaSniper, which is too fast, they are now all clustered around Gold Tager. The result is predictable; the moment Gold Tager's attack is finished, they all fire at him at once.

Remaining:

• League MegaChaser
• League MegaSniper (4 HP remaining)
• Altair MegaChaser
• Altair MegaSniper
• Karakuri MegaChaser (7 6 HP remaining)
• Karakuri MegaSniper (4 3 HP remaining)
• Acheron MegaChaser
• Acheron MegaSniper (10 HP remaining)
• Naviron Gnasher (2 HP remaining)
• Lil' Foot (2 HP remaining)
• Flame Sorcerer
• Frost Sorcerer
• MegaDragon (6 HP remaining)

The Sentry lands on its feet this time, and the Snipers move out of its way. It only gets pushed further back by the punch, while the Bandit and Karakuri Snipers get blown against the back wall.

The Snipers, both dazed, are unable to fire back, but the Sentry continues its advance.

—

The Acheron Chaser and Ghost both die, but the Acheron Ghost freezes halfway through poofing into dust, surrounded by the orange glow of a Phoenix Block.

"No time! Let's just run before it respawns!" Addison makes their way to the roof, where sure enough, there are seven active Phoenix Blocks.

Remaining:

• Bandit Sniper (1 HP remaining)
• Karakuri Sniper (1 HP remaining)
• Naviron Sentry
• Acheron Ghost (Respawning)

Kirby dashed backwards, then he looked at his knife, seeing that there was nothing in it. He slowly looked up as he realized what is happening, his smile growing bigger.

Killer!Kirby's knife began to glow red as he slashed the air, creating red slash projectiles that went quickly toward Grim.

For a moment it seems that Arachnos is going to get turned into an ice block, but then, in a swirling flash of orange, a cocoon of what seems to be burning webs surrounds him. The ice blast harmlessly melts.

"Resurrecting blocks? But where could they have..." he says, scanning the area, then freezes suddenly. "The roof... these motherswatters think they can screw with us by putting the damn things out of our reach. Ahahaha... joke's on them!"

A circular pentacle forms around Arachnos. The spider's gravitational pull gives up and fucks off, and he drifts into the air, floating towards the roof with the intention of lashing at some of the Phoenix Blocks with razor-sharp webs in wide slashing arcs.

"You guys handle things on the ground, I'll take care of the cheaters!"

And the true weakness of Rbade's cardboard carapace comes out.

"... i appear to have come aflame."

It burns. HE BURNS. He also full of adrenaline, so he bum-rushes the Flame Sorcerer and shoots at it now, panics later.

Shulk also moves in to investigate the shiny artifact, intrigued by its shimmer.

Windu hang back, waiting to intrvene if something goes wrong.

It's the Druid key. It looks to be made of something that looks like jade, with small vines engraved wrapping around it. Although it doesn't really look anything like an average key.

"We got it guys!"

Mero said, excited.

"Very good," says Luxord. Assuming Mero doesn't take the key, he does.

"A magical key, eh...? Heh."

Lab Exterior

Dylan hops over, but gets snagged on the leg and does a bunch of flips in the air before landing on his face.

Gold Tager gets pelted by MegaSniper shots, showing physical damage...

Datascape Observation Balcony

Tager tries to magnetize the stunned Snipers before tossing the both of them at the Sentry. He's not trying to hurt the Sentry, simply trying to end the Snipers while stalling for the source of the Sentry's revival juice to be cut off.

ASL Rooftops

Kokonoe: "Well, hello there mook machines. This is what's keeping those things alive."

She, of course, rains lead down upon the Phoenix Blocks, but not before stepping in front of Addison.

Gardens of Color, Reprium

... What are you doing? asks the Lingering Will.

"Oh, nothing..." Fu chuckles as he opens a time rift. On the other side, he sees one thousand Heartless, and the heroes who took up Keyblades from the light of the past to combat them. "Just a... personal project."

"That is a very nice project you have there."

"Huh?" Fu turns and sees Ansem, Seeker of Darkness!

"Would you mind if I... took the reins?" Ansem 'asks' with a sinister grin.

"Actually, I would."

Lingering Will suddenly springs forth and lunges at Ansem, wildly swinging his Keyblade with more ferocity than ever seen from him before!

As Ansem calmly and smugly hovers backwards to avoid the Lingering Will's attacks, he recalls how Narktus won him over in the first place by telling him about parts of his future. Based on what he was told, he gives a shout of, "Come, guardian!" and summons his Guardian to grab Lingering Will and throw him aside. Ansem doesn't want to kill him - that could reunite Terra's heart with his mind and allow him to reassert control from within.

"I'm afraid your opinion doesn't actually matter to me." Ansem reaches out to the time rift, connecting to it with threads of darkness. "Heartless, heed me! Your battle is a losing one, but there are yet more hearts to reap! Come forth at my beckoning, and destroy!"

In a sweeping wave, all of the Heartless on the other side morph into shimmering crystalline hearts, which fly out through the time rift, passing through the barrier between timelines in a veritable flood of hearts!

"No... that's not possible."

Ansem laughs at Fu. "You understand so very, very little, boy. Hearts can reach across time no matter what lies in their path. All they need is the right hand to guide them."

With a snap of Ansem's finger, all the hearts turn back into Heartless. They jump together as their bodies seemingly fuse, creating a huge ball of them... which then morphs into a twisting form akin to a wave or a snake.

And this time, there are no free Keyblades for fighting them off.

Time Patrol Path

• Defeat Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, and send the 1000 Heartless back to their own time!

Fu Path

• Defeat the Demon Tide!

Grimm raises a shield to block the incoming slashes he then runs over to Kirby and tries to him with the base of his scythe hoping to get him off balance then slashes forward "You know if you werent so bent on killing me I think we could've been good friends"

Lund's Hut, Skyrim

Two Hubs in casual clothing◊ stand in front of the door to the hut. A few more stand around the windows. Despite their attire, they do seem to be on guard.

If one were to look through one specific window, they'd be able to see Pseudo Porky's hovering monitor◊, Botar◊, Axonn◊ and, surprisingly, The Shadowed One◊, leader of the Dark Hunters, all of them in front of a table.

From this angle, it's impossible to see who's on the other side, but considering the presence of the Hub clones, it's safe to say that at least Cyber◊ has to be inside.

Gardens of Color

Out of all possible people, the Greyface happens to be one of the few near the gardens when it happens. He sees the emerging Heartless from afar, not knowing what they are.

"Hm..."

Normally he'd just run far, far away from a situation like that one. However, he figures another field test is in order.

Yeah, last time, his little project managed to wipe the floor with Ness and his cohorts. And it served him right for letting him stay brainwashed. But, knowing how things tend to go, he knows that, if he doesn't see if there's still need for improvements, then next time his robotic armor may go down.

"I will not lose to Ness ever again.", he says, gritting his teeth as he directs his floating platform towards the stream of Heartless and Ansem.

"If it can take a horde, it'll be able to take Ness and his pathetic friends too!"

Lund's Hut

42 approaches the hut with a casual demeanor and a blank look on her face.

Gardens of Color

"No, no, no..." Fu grips his head and turns away in panic. "If the Time Patrol finds out, I'm toast..."

You FOOL! barks the Lingering Will as he slowly pulls himself up. The Heartless are not playthings to toy around with!

Sonic appears on the scene!

"What... is that?"

Edited by KiriK on Mar 10th 2020 at 3:36:41 AM

Lund's Hut

The Maximoffs approach the hut as well.

Outside the Lab

"Alright, this dragon is starting to piss me off."

Omega flipped his weapon back into its sword-staff mode, and gripped it with both hands as he channeled his dark powers into the business end. With a mighty shout, he activated the Spirit of Arch-Tempered Kulve Taroth and went golden as he swung!

Thought I forgot about that little upgrade, did you?

The Hubs at the entrance turn to look at the Maximoffs and 42, looking a little confused with the latter, since they don't know her.

"Oi! Maximoffs!", one of them calls over to them, after which he gestures to the door. "If you're looking for Pseudo, he's in there."

"As for you, you'll have to identify yourself first.", the other says to 42. "For all we know, you're some droid the Cyber Angels sent."

The League MegaChaser is repelled, but continues its plodding advance.

"Okay, how about this...?" Rey switches to Hover Junkers and lets loose a volley of shotgun blasts.

The Altair bosses return to their predatory circling around the battlefield.

The Naviron Gnasher leaps to bite at Omega!

MegaDragon is walloped, but not out of the fight just yet. It spews fire at Omega in retaliation.

Flame Sorcerer gets blasted and freezes mid-die again.

The Frost Sorcerer shoots an ice blast at Rbade. If it hits, he'll trade one problem for another - no longer on fire, but also trapped in ice until next round.

Remaining:

• League MegaChaser (5 HP remaining)
• League MegaSniper (4 HP remaining)
• Altair MegaChaser
• Altair MegaSniper
• Karakuri MegaChaser (6 5 HP remaining)
• Karakuri MegaSniper (3 2 HP remaining)
• Acheron MegaChaser
• Acheron MegaSniper (10 HP remaining)
• Naviron Gnasher (2 HP remaining)
• Lil' Foot (2 HP remaining)
• Flame Sorcerer (Respawning)
• Frost Sorcerer
• MegaDragon (2 HP remaining)

—

The Snipers fall, but the Bandit Sniper freezes as the Phoenix Block effect triggers for it. The Sentry continues its advance.

-

All the Phoenix Blocks are heavily damaged, but still intact.

Addison sees fit to run forward, heave upwards, and yeet one of the Phoenix Blocks onto the battlefield below, where it lands on the Karakuri MegaSniper's head and shatters.

The Acheron Ghost will no longer respawn.

Speaking of, the Acheron Ghost materializes on the roof, making a beeline for Kokonoe!

Remaining:

• Bandit Sniper (Respawning)
• Naviron Sentry
• Acheron Ghost

"Konnichiwa." 42 does a bow.

"I am called 42. I am a recent associate of Pseudo's."

"No doubt he's eating up every blatantly obvious lie your boss is feeding him," Pietro remarks.

"Come on, Pietro, before they can convince him that these robots are somehow more dangerous than Thanos," Wanda chimes in.

With that, the twins head into the hut.

Outside the Lab

Omega made a necrocharged backswing at the gnasher, shouting like a warrior possessed as the flames washed over him! He wished he had brought along his golden armor, but such things were a moot point now — for now was only the battle, only the rush of combat. He tried to cleave the Gnasher apart with this single swing, and regardless of success or failure, he would have to allow the flames to wash over his golden, skeletal form.

"These flames are meaningless! YOU ONLY FUEL MY RAGE, WHELP!"

Garden Of Color

The Demon Tide attempts to run the group through, all except for the Lingering Will.

As for the Lingering Will, the Guardian Heartless targets him, going in for a massive punch laced with darkness...

Only to be met and blown back.

"So, you're the newest chump that got sucked in by Narktus. Figures."

Ansem simply grumbles, and the Guardian Heartless retaliates against them both.

While one Hub actually bows back, the other Hub raises an eyebrow.

"... Forty... two? Your name is a number? I'm not sure I trust that."

"Oh, hold on!", a third clone says, one guarding the window they were visible in. "I heard Pseudo mention that name a few minutes ago."

"You did? ..."

The Hub looks back at 42.

"Alright, guess you're in the clear."

They stand aside to let Wanda, Pietro and 42 in. Once they're in, they'll see that Cyber is indeed there, alongside Mr L◊ and Dark Meta Knight◊.

Cyber is hunched over, pointing at a spot on a map of Skyrim that he's laid out on the table.

"Now then, once Hub has lured the enemy to this position, the other Hubs will jump out and use Shield Chips, merging the barriers they create to make it grow into one huge barrier that'll trap them inside. Then the warriors you chose and the ones I chose can attack while they're confused, giving us an advantage-"

He's interrupted by Mr L tapping his shoulder and pointing at the three. Cyber stands up right again.

"Ah, some of your allies have arrived. Excellent, then they can suggest some ideas too."

The monitor turns around, and Pseudo smiles upon seeing them.

"Ah, welcome. You're just in time."

Greyface's platform manages to evade the swarm of Heartless once it tries to strike.

"Quick little buggers.", he mutters before sending a few small missiles at it, seeing if he can't just blow it apart.

As 42 walks in, Narktus warps in only a short distance behind her, placing himself just inches away from the Hubs.

"Hello there." He attempts to walk the rest of the way in unopposed.

Sonic jumps over the Demon Tide's rush and homing-attacks at its core.

The Lingering Will jumps away to avoid Ansem, retaliating by transforming Ends of the Earth into a whip and lashing it at him.

There are people here? The inhabitants of the building, at a guess. Seems like they're already dealing with these things. Not doing half bad a job, but we're short on time. At any moment one of these things could waste several minutes' worth of efforts if it happens to resurrect one of the big ones. Looks like they're not too heavy... that gives me an idea.

"Yo, I'm the cavalry!" Arachnos says in lieu of an introduction, briefly waving at the fighters on the roof before shooting steel-hard webs from his hands at all remaining Phoenix Blocks at once. Using his enhanced strength and some help from Gravity if need be, he attempts to pull them all off the roof at once, where they'll hopefully crash on the enemies' heads and not on any of the self-inserts.

Shulk would look at the key, before saying "That's a really old type of key. I'm used to keycards myself, Easier to swipe through, harder to fake... But that's another story. We got what we needed."
