Homura readying herself
Homura's soul gem begins to glow with the blue glow of phazon, her eyes glowing blue, as she begins to yell. The formerly purple flame on the top of her bow, alongside all the energy on it, begins to glow the blue glow of phazon, the bow being drawn back as far as it can now. Homura seems to be in pain right now, but, she simply yells... "Let's finish this!"

Doom Slayer's combination attack is successful, and the poor yellow Fission Metroid is bisected, earning him a Glory Kill.
The group might find themselves outright shocked at the sudden pained screeches that Metroid Prime is letting out when the Arbiter slashes and stabs at it with his enhanced sword. Kumatora pauses.
"Don't tell it it was weak against the same stuff it summoned? Why would it... nevermind, let's finish this!"
She casts PSI Brainshock, trying to confuse the Metroid Prime so that it's unable to dodge the following attacks. Thor's lightning hits it dead-on as a result, damaging it further.
Claus eagerly catches the sword with a leap. Then, upon landing, he swings it in front of himself a few times, like whenever he wants to send a powerful bolt of lightning at his enemies.
Said bolt is still launched, but it's coated in this blue liquid's aura. When it hits, it lets out the same shrieks as when the blade hit, confirming that it is, indeed, weak against this strange blue liquid.
"We've gotta be dealing significant damage now!", Claus eagerly says.

King of the Monsters
The Arbiter lobs a Plasma Grenade to create an opening before slashing with his Energy Sword in wide arcs.
Not one for being outdone, the Doom Slayer rushes up and tries to slug the Metroid Prime with a simple punch.
A punch that, if successful, will be infused with the power of blood for a massively boosted impact, not only knocking Metroid Prime back slightly (perhaps it would've been Punched Across the Room were it a lesser monster), but also knocking it out of invisibility entirely, ensuring there is no way to miss it.
"He's gearing up for war."
Thor runs straight towards Metroid Prime, leaps at the beast, and with a fierce Asgardian yell, goes for a mighty downward strike with Stormbringer.

Phazon
Homura releases the bowstring, letting the arrow of energy fly, as it splits into many smaller projectiles, flying at metroid prime. The phazon in homuras soul gem depletes with this massive attack, as the roar of the phazon infused magical arrows make their way towards metroid prime. Homura glares forwards, her eyes returning to normal.

Metroid Prime may be regretting its decision to attack by this point.
It first gets slashed multiple times by the enhanced sword, already causing a ton of pain. Then it gets hit by the Blood Punch, delivering some sort of shock to its ability to focus alongside the damage it deals. As such, it stops being invisible, and becomes a full-on massive target for all the attacks that have yet to follow.
Kumatora deals with the three remaining Fission Metroids that none of the others paid attention to, stunning them with PK Fire.
Homura's enhanced arrows pierce Metroid Prime's hide, making it spaz out in pain. And, lastly, Claus slashes upwards with his blade at the same time Thor strikes downwards with his axe, delivering a double blow.
The beast seems to gasp, spazzing out more, its spazzing so fast that it starts looking like it's splitting (which it, luckily, is not doing). It roars in pain and fury, and suddenly shows, in a pretty terrifying way, that it wasn't a mindless beast simply attacking out of fury, as it suddenly starts slamming on the ground, releasing shockwave after shockwave.
Claus' eyes widen.
"Everyone out! It's trying to take us down with it by making the caverns collapse and crush us!"
Claus turns out to be correct. And there is no way to stop Metroid Prime from going through with this now. Its mind is made up. All everyone can do is escape or die.
Kumatora grabs a hold of Claus' arm and turns to Thor.
"Can you throw us up!?", she yells as the cavern already starts to shake and crumble.

Doom Slayer opts for the alternative.
He aims up and fires the BFG-9000, literally exploding a hole in the cave.
Positive: Escape route.
Negative: Cave is collapsing faster.
He parkours from one falling rock to the next until he reaches the edge of the hole and vaults himself out.
Thel Vadam has no such luxuries. "I require assistance."
"He's gearing up for war."
"Heh, as if you needed to ask, Lady Kumatora!"
Thor moves to throw Kumatora and Claus out of the cavern before flying after them.

Homura returns to her previous outfit, looking towards Thel, and then anyone else who might need assistance in the escape. Her shield whirrs up,and she approaches thel, saying "Gladly. Please hold onto my arm after this, though, until I tell you to stop." And with that, homura grabs Thel Vadam, and time stops.
Homuras world.
Homura casually begins to navigate rocks in the area to leap around, alongside hopping on falling rocks from time to time, grabbing onto thel, Making her way outside the now crumbling battlefield with Thel Vadam in tow.
As for what is seen in the frozen time? Rocks would stop falling midair, everyone around homura and the Arbiter would be frozen in place, seemingly, their escape frozen in time. Every small speck of dust, trapped in its own time until inturrupted by the movements of homura and the arbiter in tow. Eventually, they exit , time resuming as they arrive safely back outside to meet with the others.
Real time
Homura seems to have fucking teleported with the alien person out of danger

Thanks to Thor, Kumatora and Claus end up in safe territory alongside the god of lightning.
Doom Slayer got out safely as well, and Thel Vadam hitched a ride to safety with Homura.
As such, the caverns collapse onto only the Metroid Prime and the three remaining Fission Metroids, burying them within.
Claus and Kumatora look down at the debris for a moment before turning to Thor.
"Thanks for saving us.", Claus says, smiling. "I... uh, am gonna sleep this off now. I've had enough adventure for one day."
"Same here. I won't be rusty at that tournament now. Thanks for getting us out of a tight spot.", Kumatora says while delivering a playful punch once more. She then picks Claus up, to his surprise and slight annoyance, but he's tired, and still damaged, so he just sucks it up and lets her do it, even if he can't help but look very unamused.
"Hey, whaddya say if, next time we get a drink together, it'll be my treat? To pay you back.", Kumatora says to Thor, smirking, then turning around, ready to take Claus back to the base.
Claus keeps his eyes on the rubble, just in case there's yet another surprise attack from this thing.
Luckily, nothing comes.

Thel grabs onto Homura, but is briefly surprised by seeing time freeze around them. Still, he does not resist.
Once they're out, he moves free on his own. "My thanks."
Doom Slayer simply grunts and wipes some dirt off his helmet, before leaving. On to the next battle.
"He's gearing up for war."
Thor offers Kumatora a grin before tousling her hair once more.
"I would be honored, my friend! And should we face each other in the tournament, I'll try not to cause you any serious harm."
"Ooh, those sound like fighting words, pal.", Kumatora jokes as her hair gets tousled.
"Now let's get out of here before anything else decides to jump us."
She starts walking, dragging Claus over her shoulder and looking behind her to see if Thor wants to come with them.

Thor decides to follow alongside Kumatora, his axe slung over his shoulder.

Its over
Now in safety, and in normal time, Homura looks to Thel, saying "It would be wrong to let you die down there alone. No need to thank me." She then looks towards the others, a sudden grin, uncommon on homuras face, manifests in the movement of homuras facial muscles, as she says "I'll leave you to your celebrations. I, Myself, have something to do. See you at the tournament, if you're going there."
And with that, she departs.

King of the Monsters
Thel looks over at Thor, then back at Homura.
"I have debts to repay... until then." He turns and walks off in his own direction.
"He's gearing up for war."
Not too long after everyone has left, the SA-X arrives on the scene. It looks around in confusion, it could've sworn it had detected the scream of its natural enemy.
After a quick glance, it turns around, ready to leave.
Some screams ring empty in this area, devoid of other people. Nobody is here to help, or to see what starts to emerge half a minute afterwards.
It appears to be the SA-X, implying that it may have won the battle against the barely-alive Metroid Prime. However... the SA-X looks pretty different. Its colors have changed, most of its mutated aspects are just completely gone as well. It looks much less animalistic than before.
It's also deathly silent, only barely moving its head around to cast a glance or two.
Then it starts to slump off, dragging its feet across the ground and letting its arms hang to its sides, moving almost zombie-like.

Divine Burden
Takumi smirks when Claude approach, and Samsara makes a curtsy to welcome Edelgard's approach!
Alright! She says. But before we start, sir Dimitri, let us see if we can help Miss Edelgard!
She leans to the side to glance at the white-haired warrior.
Hmm, miss Edelgard, if I may ask, what exactly would you seek in a training partner!
Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.

The Pit
Rash hops out, parkouring out if the rubble before it collapses in. Seeing g everyone gas left, he sighs.
Rash: "Imma smack whoever decided it would be good for me to skip a page..."
He then notices some movement, hiding behind a rock as he watches the SA-X slump off.
Rash: "That ain't good..."
He runs off.

Whiterun Marketplace
Saitama paces around the center of town, a bag of groceries slung under his arm. Something seems to be troubling him.
I need that kind of prize money... but I can't just one-punch my way to victory, can I? I'd just get disqualified for making it all boring and ruining the fun! Argh...
He wonders aloud, "How do I make it look flashy?"
"He's gearing up for war."

Azrael moves through the marketplace in a hurry to get somewhere.
He passes Saitama...
But says or does nothing. This battle of strength does not involve him.
D!Saitama: "Yo, there's the other me!"
Another Saitama instead walks up, noting his other self.
D!Saitama: "I suppose I'd know I'd see myself at a sale. How's it been?"
He seems awfully calm. Maybe he doesn't know about the tournament?

"Oh hey, it's you! Or... er... me. Sorry I missed that fight. It's been, like, months and a whole new world since then!"
K!Saitama taps his fingers together nervously. "But if you're not busy with the sale... I kinda need it to happen now. There's a tournament coming up where you can win huge prize money, but the rankings are based on how cool your fighting style is, and not being the ultimate victor in battle. I was hoping for an opponent strong enough to take a few punches for me while I work to... let's say, hone my craft."

D!Saitama: "It's cool, everyone's been caught up recently it seems."
He nods at his other self's request.
D!Saitama: "I'll take you up for that. I've been needing a good spar for a while. However, here's probably not the best place."

"Cool! Let's just leave our stuff here."
K!Saitama sets his bag down and bolts off towards the wilderness.
"He's gearing up for war."
Thor tosses Claus' sword back to him, then summons Stormbringer to his hand once again.
"Let's send this stubborn bastard to Hel!"
He unleashes a blast of lightning from both his axe and hammer at Metroid Prime.
