The two sisters turns towards the conversation, a bit interested. Cynthia tries a sneak attack halfway through but Lucina deflect it!
What's a robot? Ask Morgan, smiling. She attempts to look at 42 up-close. Are you like Sir Stark?
Samsara attempts to get her to take a few steps back. Woops, sorry for her, erm, closeness. She's a nice girl.

Fredbear nods, the Anti-Spral being able to notice a clock in his vision, if he'd even care to look. It rapidly spins, passing every tick multiple times...
Fredbear: "Keep him busy. I'll be quick."
Cloud braces himself, then lunges forward.
Omnislash
He dashes in a blur of motion all around the Anti-Spiral, making a brutal cleave with the Buster Sword every time he stops. He ascends its body, continuing to attack, before stopping at the peak and slamming the sword down, creating an explosion!
Asura stomps forward, blind with rage.
"There is always some fool..."
He kicks off the ground, leaving a crater from his jumping point.
"Who wants to rule the world!"
With that, he throws a single herculean punch at the Anti-Spiral!
"That's why... I pray to no one!" If it lands, he keeps his fist there, and keeps pushing, keeps building up that pressure, keeps building up his rage...
"Nor will I be prayed to!" ...until the force rises enough to inevitably blow away the Anti-Spiral in an explosive release of red energy!
Defense-90 looks on, rather awed.
Defense-90: "Hmm. Seems like this is the final blow."
He cracks his knuckles and reverts to his base form, disappearing as 8 of him appear around the Anti-Spiral.
"We fight in the dark, and the light!"
A volley of jabs, with the occasional hook.
We combat all those that dare disturb the order, evil or otherwise!"
Strong attacks. Punches that cause impacts enough to create a crater in any old planet.
The destruction of all chaos...
They all jump above the Anti-Spiral, forming back into one Defense, who charges a massive ball of energy.
Defense-90: "Is the aim of the universe itself! We are the Travelers, the will of the universe! Taste our might!"
He fires off a beam of swirling green energy.
Despite warnings to the contrary, Cal Devens appears next to Fu, a rather angelic take on the Goeniko archetype
...
Cal: "I'll be damned if I leave you to kill yourself!"
She summons a large, golden magical circle in front of her, firing multiple bolts of golden energy, ones that if hit, would seem to burn with the strength of a raging wildfire. All of that building up to a massive beam of light, aiming to burn the Anti-Spiral to less than ash.
The Anti-Spiral's vision might begin to fade to black...
Only to show a child's face in the darkness.
Fredbear: "I HAVE NO CLUE NOR CARE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS WITH SPIRALS. BUT YOU STEPPED ON TOES, ONES IN PLACES HIGH AND LOW. YOU DESTABILIZED THIS ENTIRE LAND, AND NOT ONLY CAME CLOSE TO ENDING IT, BUT ALLOWED OTHERS TO DO THE SAME MORE EASILY. AND FOR THAT, YOUR PUNISHMENT SHALL BE SWIFT...
The face changes to that of Shin Fredbear, grinning with exaggeratedly sharp teeth.
Shin Fredbear: "AND PAINFUL."
Shotlock Active: The Bite Of '87!
A splash of blood.
A sickening crunch.
And one dead Anti-Spiral... If it hit.

"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"42 doesn't seem uncomfortable with Morgan getting close. She puts a hand up to her chest. "Actually, I am a completely mechanical construct with no organic bits. The caricature of 'Iron Man' is a human with armor and implants. I'm more like the Cyber Angels... but I'd say I'm much nicer than most of them. Wouldn't you?"
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Well, for sure! You're polite. She massage her left arm and grimace. Speaking of them, they arrived during a fight with a bunch of enemies and started to attack. We had to sort of let go of our current enemies to focus on them.
Oh, I see, that's... kinda fascinating! So huh, I wanna ask, if that's not too personal. Huh, could you live forever? Can you dream? It's so unique to get to meet someone like you!
The two sisters interrupt their training session and approach. Greetings. Says Lucina.

"Provided I have an unlimited power supply, yes, I could go on forever. However, I am not uncomfortable with obsolescence."
"I can run internal simulations while I am in my power-saving state, but they're more akin to daydreaming than the sleep kind of dream."

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Oh, that's interesting! And I get being kinda iffy on living forever, I wouldn't want to!
It'd get weird... Oh... Well, that's pretty fascinating. So... if I'm right, can you decide what simulation you run? I'd kind of like to pick my dreams, well, daydreams sometimes.
Cynthia just look at 42 in surprise.Huh, are you ok? Your skin is grey...
I am under the belief that Lady 42 is a... robot.
Ohh... well, so, are you like super tough?
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterThe bad news is that the Anti-Spiral somehow manages to recover before the attacks can land. The good news is that he doesn't have the time to heal itself or adjust his power level before they land. A cluster of black tentacles shoots up to stop Sephiroth, but with a single swing, they are all severed, spraying yarn-like dark matter!
"NO... NO WAY... WE WILL NEVER LOSE TO A BUNCH OF WORTHLESS SPIRALS! THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE! EVERY OUTCOME WAS PLANNED FOR! EVERY POSSIBILITY ACCOUNTED FOR! HOW?!"
He raises one hand to deploy a Probability Negation shield to block the falling beams from Pit, then another to block Dark Pit. As he does, the Polar Lance opens a hole in his body, then the Spiral Knight's Super Shotgun opens a whole bunch of tinier ones, piercing clean through. Then Thor's billion-volt blast impacts, causing a scream of pain and wrath from the Anti-Spiral, lightning blasting out of his eyes and mouth as he fries like a moth after getting too close to a lamp.
"Your will to move forward... could it be stronger than our will to keep things as they are..? Even if it results in your deaths... you simply refuse to stay in one place, do you? Like a drill... useless if it stands still."
The Anti-Spiral launches himself at Asura, enhancing his punch with the primordial force of gravity. The shockwaves from the collision of the two fists reach miles away, devastating the landscape even further. However, the attacks from Cloud, Defense and Cal break the clash, and the Anti-Spiral is sent flying. No... rather, he is sent rocketing into the atmosphere... and straight into the black hole he created!
And then...
—
"I see... so that is how it came off to you."
As he floats in the endless darkness with the words of his soon-to-be executioner as his only company, the Anti-Spiral's mind wanders back to that city. Longing to go back. Remembering the forbidden feelings. Hope. Happiness. Doubt creeps into his mind.
He wonders if it might have been better if they'd never learned about the Spiral Nemesis in the first place.
All these years of endless war. Were they even worth it in the end? Was their endless, soulless suppression of Spiral races truly the best way to spend eternity? Or would it have been better to spend what years they had left enjoying what they had instead of depriving others of it?
Perhaps they had missed their mark? Spiral races are capable of great things. Sometimes they can achieve the impossible. Even if every star in the sky were to become their foe, they would stand up and fight. Could it be possible to fight fire with fire? Stop the Spiral Nemesis with the very thing that fuels it? What if they had reached out to the Spiral races as a friend instead of a foe, to warn them of the danger? Could things have turned out differently?
But they will never know now.
The Anti-Spiral closes his eyes.
—
"Spiral lifeforms... if this is how it must be... you must... carry on my mission. Be it with strength... or restraint... you must protect the universes. You must... stop... the Spiral Nemesis. You must..."
These words echo from the black hole and across Sovngarde, shortly before a sickening crunch is heard. Blood spurts from the black hole, drenching the entirety of Sovngarde. Then the black hole collapses on itself, and explodes.
Heat and force surround the heroes of time, before ejecting them back into Sovngarde. Already, the pieces of the land are putting themselves back together, creating a stable ground to stand on.
The battle is won.

"And so, it ends." Sephiroth swipes Masamune twice to clean the blood and... not-blood... of his counterpart and the Anti-Spiral off of it, then 'sheathes' it into Hammerspace. The spirals fade from his eyes for now, but the presence of that energy still lingers on him.
"Don't worry. We won't let that happen, no matter what!" Pit dispels the Three Sacred Treasures and does a 'V for Victory' salute.
Dark Pit stabs the Dark Pit Staff into the ground and turns his back to the place where the Anti-Spiral once stood, folding his arms with a haughty scoff.
Fu's transformations revert all at once as he crumples to his knees, stopping himself from a complete collapse with one hand. He clutches at his chest, the converter device sparking and smoking, before it pops like a scouter and falls off.
"Crisis... averted..." He spits up a bit of tainted-black blood.
After slowly picking himself up, Fu limps away, disappearing into the gloom of Sovngarde's mist...
"Compared to most combatants here... not really. I wouldn't stand a chance against many of the warriors in this realm on my own."
42 turns her head towards Skuldafn in the distant mountains, which seems to be slightly... space-cracked, due to the damage to Sovngarde starting to bleed in through the connecting portal. "Especially not whatever was causing that phenomenon."
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."This realm has many... oddities that far surpass us in strength, yes.
Yeah but remember how you scored third at that tournament? Hey, huh, miss 42, did you see the tournament? Because whoah, my sister and Lady Samsara were super cool in it, and so was Lord Ryoma!
I got a bit carried away though... Says Samsara, though she smiles earnestly. Lucina blush though.
The rankings did not involve strength. She says, before looking at 42. I am not that strong otherwise.
Oooh, spooky! That said though, haven't you fought against those cyber angels things? Because they're pretty strong! They fire super fast projectiles I heard!
...
AYE! WANDER PEACEFULLY AND REST THY FOOLISH SPIRIT, TIS A BATTLE THAT WAS WON BEFORE IT STARTED!
Thor turns towards the others. FRIENDS YOU WERE MOST COURAGEOUS! SHOULD YOU DIE, I SHALL FETCH YOUR SOUL AND PUT IT IN VALHALLA ITSELF! Even if you die a boring death. He smack his chest and get his armor back again.
AH! I ENJOYED BEING NEAR NAKED! Then he looks at Fu and attempts to follow him. IMP MAN, WAIT!!!!
...
Zeref roams at Falkreath. All alone but... at least he has a new realm to explore.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterAfter limping some distance away, Fu draws his sword and opens a rift to leave, but then stops and looks back at Thor.
"What is it..? I have something to do."
Admiration and humility recorded. Parsing the differences between 'humility' and 'bluntly explaining one's flaws in informative terms'...
"Well, your guile is clearly enough."
"I am only fit to handle the lowest levels of Cyber Angel ranking. Any individual of rank Officer or higher could crush me on its own."
42 unsheathes her sword. "I am an information gatherer, not a fighter. My only advantage against them is this katana, which emits an electromagnetic pulse when it strikes something electronic. In layman's terms, it disables their systems."
Edited by KiriK on Apr 23rd 2020 at 12:35:36 PM
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Well, I do have a lot of stronger allies. Like Nicole, or Doppio, or Chloé... They're all great friends even with Chloé's...
Quirk?
Yeah....
They look interested when she mentions her ability.
How does your sword do that? Luci's sword can somewhat power itself up but it can't huhhhhh do an electromagnetic wave!
This is a fine sword... pray tell, are you from a land similar to Hoshido?
...
Thor raises his hammer. AYE! DO YOU REQUIRE HEALING IMP FRIEND? THOU ARE LIMPING, WHEN THOU SHOULD CARRY YOUR HEAD HIGH! SURELY 'TIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN UNDO!

"... Well crap, why not?"
Logged fascination.
"The mechanisms behind it are very complex and needless to say, the technical details would take much too long to explain." 42 sheathes the sword.
"My existence is not, strictly speaking, legal, but my creator is of Japanese origin and designed me according to typical modern Japanese standards. According to my records, the land of Hoshido is portrayed in a video game as being based on feudal Japan, so there are bound to be some similarities."
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Creator? Ooohhhhhhhhh like... your dad, or your mother! Are they robotic too?
Hm, Hoshido is known in your world?... Oh, what's a video game? Is it like a game but on a... a screen? She says, waving her hands to simulate a remote. Sir Stark had those...
Ah, I see. Well, their craftmanship is most impressive, though I fail to understand why one of the Hoshidans, Oboro, mentions how their steel has been folded so many times over... Would you know if this is something done with these "katanas" in their world?
Oh, speaking of Oboro, she's so intense! You should see the faces she does sometimes, hihi! They're kinda scary. She says, looking pensive at the end.
...
Thor heals Fu by briefly using his godly power to make the hammer radiate healing energy. Fu glows and then, in the next instant, he's good as news.
I USE THIS TO BRING MY WORTHY GOATS BACK TO LIFE AFTER I AM DONE CONSUMING THEM. WORRY NOT THOUGH, FOR I DO NOT INTEND TO EAT YOU BRAVE IMP MAN.
Silence if Fu does not interject.
NOW BYE! AND MAY WE MEET AGAIN! He says, flying away.

He sees Thor off with a 「どうもありがとうございます、」 then makes his own exit through the rift, which closes behind him.
"No, my creator is human, but I am not the only robot he made."
"Steel-folding is a traditional Japanese metalworking technique. By heating the metal you are forging, folding it over, hammering it, and then heating it until you can fold it again, several times over, you improve the blade's strength and remove impurities such as slag or air-pockets."
"A video game is an interactive method of entertainment where the player assumes some form of role in a scenario presented by a digital interface, such as a handheld device or a console with an attached monitor - so, a screen. In the game where Hoshido appears, the player takes the role of Corrin... and to mention any more could be considered spoilers."
Falkreath
Near wherever Zeref is specifically roams the golden-clad Mata Nui, seemingly inspecting the town after the whole 'sky shattering' thing. Between that and Set's attack on this place in the recent past, he was worrying the two events might have had the same cause.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Oh I see! Well, I never knew Corrin was a video game star... I wonder how she's doing. Samsara put her finger underneath her chin and raise her head to look at the sky.
Oh, that's why Oboro always forge things like that when she's working as the blacksmith! Well, thanks for explaining it, Lady 42! You're smart!
Lucina seems to be pondering something, but Cynthia just look at her spear. Oh, your creator is smart then! But did he build you as a baby?
...
Zeref keeps walking around, keeping his head down. So far, his death aura is contained but he still give off a deathly... wrong aura.
Edited by Bolded1 on Apr 23rd 2020 at 8:20:48 PM
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter42 looks genuinely befuddled by that last question.
"No... there is no robot in my world that can simulate human physiological growth, and I am no exception. My creator made me as a collection of individual parts that could be assembled into my current form, and promptly shipped those parts in several separate packages to a friend of his overseas. Again, my existence is illegal by our laws."
Mata Nui picks up on the aura and starts heading over in Zeref's direction. He turns Click into his shield just in case a fight breaks out...

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Meanwhile, in a Forest in Skyrim
A young man with blue hair sits by a Campfire in the woods, roasting boar meat, picking out bits of lead from the meat as he goes. The young man is wearing some sort of armor which looks like a mix between that of a medieval knight, and a modern soldier, with the Crest of Yilesse located on the back of the armor, alongside on the shoulder, alongside a rank.
An Assault rifle is slung over his shoulder, one of a make unknown to most people, with the royal crest of the Yillessian exalts engraved on it. At his hip, on the right, an actual handgun, and a strange device, vaguely resembling some sort of sci-fi pistol, are holstered. On the left, sheathed, lies a familiar sword, seemingly the Falchion.
The man begins to sing to himself, as he finishes roasting the boar meat.
Edited by ReynTheLord on Apr 23rd 2020 at 12:00:55 PM
Hm... well, huh, Miss 42. Your existence isn't illegal to me. Says Cynthia, grinning awkwardly. Samsara seems confused.
Oh... well, make sense! It takes time with babies! They're so cute but they can be pretty hard to take care of!
Samsara looks briefly traumatized while Lucina chuckles. Well, I can confirm that I was quite an handful. I've seen it, after all.
...
Zeref look at Mata Nui and raise his ams.
Wait! Stop! Right now! He says, almost frightened.
...
Gangrel hears the whistling and get a bit annoyed, since it cut into his brood time. Smirking nastily, he prepare to sneak behind the camper, with the goal of doing something hilariously harmful to them... only to stop when he notices that they have Falchion right next to them.
... What the?
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"I appreciate the sentiment." 42 smiles in that cutesy anime way.
"Well, this conversation has proved invaluable to me, but I suppose we've run out of things to go over. I'll be on my way."
Mata Nui stops, but he raises his shield in front of himself, just in case.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Hmm, very well then! There's a way out if you want. Samsara points away. But otherwise, 'till we meet again!
I'll try to find new questions to ask you about! Says an excited Morgan. Lucina bows meanwhile. Cynthia does the same after a little while, attempting to imitate her older sister. See ya miss 42!

Samsara just sighs, amused at her antics.

"My framework is structurally sound," 42 replies dryly, though she smiles. "It would take more than a long fall to cause significant damage. Robot, and all that."
