A cruel, inhuman grin slowly spreads across his face, all the while keeping that glare of his.
"Your shining mark doesn't impress me. Turn around or be destroyed. I will not warn you again."
The slight, dark aura that's now around Julius does suggest that he can sense that the Triforce of Power is no mere 'shining mark' though.
"... I didn't see it for myself. But Alphys told me he put on the greatest performance of his life, all so that she could be saved.", Chara says.
Frisk looks greatly surprised as they listen to Chara. Yeah, Chara's just telling the truth, but they're not really used to Chara being supportive in how he tells people the truth. Usually he doesn't mince his words.
Perhaps Chara does care more than he'd ever admit out loud.
"And once we revive him, he'll have many more grand performances to enact.", Frisk says, smiling. "Bringing him back is the sole reason we came to this world, so I can assure you that we won't stop until we find a way."
Areui is clearly a bit alarmed by Narktus expressing his desire for revenge, but not to the extent that most people would be.
"... I'd be lying if I said revenge wasn't a pretty effective motivator for my Lapsus half as well.", he admits.
"So... I take it that this means you've been done a great injustice too? Have you been cursed too?"

"Then... I... must help you!"
Ah, there's the usual attitude.
"I would be doing a disservice to the name Mettaton if I did not!"
"Not cursed in the magical sense. However, I was..."
Narktus' eyes narrow. "Discarded and abandoned by my entire universe, like yesterday's trash. I was born on a shitty planet, to a family with a shitty quality of life, and when everything else went to shit, everyone else left for greener pastures - except me. I just had to sit there and stew in it."
This oughta set off some major warning bells in Areui's head.

Onyxis - Imperial Outpost
TXRA's smaller guns turn to deflect much of the initial blaster fire with their own energy shots, creating some fireworks in the middle of the two. The few shots that go through chip away at his hull, but unlike his previous Glass Cannon self, he's now firmly in Mighty Glacier territory, and he could soak up a lot more. He could certainly do the same to the missiles, or start his Teleport Spam across the battlefield, but he's feeling spicy today. The clone squad's situation catches the attention of one his sensor drones. Visualizing how close he could get to the Rancor Squad without also incapacitating them with his Toxic Cloak, he locks on to a particular heavy trooper, and...
"Let's try something new. Zero Shift!" Tapping into his Metatron reserve, he bends space in a different way from before, stretching two points together like a rubber band rather than cutting open a portal, allowing him to essentially move without actually moving. Thanks to his inexperience with this move, however, he actually overdoes it a little, and manages to bring one of the incoming missiles with him, only narrowly avoiding friendly fire from the explosion against his armor.
"Go!" He barks to the squad. While fully aware of the smaller enemies around him, he lets his nauseous smoke take care of them for a moment, as his attention is still focused on the Walker's leg. Having designated a drone to look for a weak spot in the aftermath of his first barrage, TXRA's Gatling gun follows up with a combo of alternating Blizzard IVs and Fire IVs. If the firepower alone wasn't enough to bring it down, the extreme temperatures would hopefully serve to weaken it further. As a lightning bolt strikes down at him, he turns his head up to face it. "Absorb Elements!" The electricity coming at him strikes a barrier instead, weakening it by about half so that it only deals minor damage, while he recycles the rest for future use.

Julius' eyes narrow.
"... very well."
Suddenly, a total of 10 Dark Bishops
◊, all Loptyr cultists, warp in around Ganondorf.
About four of them also warp in at the top of the castle itself, for a reason that would become clear very soon.
Eight strange devices also appear on top of the roof, hidden from sight. Ganondorf wouldn't know it, but they are Ballista.
"Let's see if you're even worth special treatment." , Julius mocks.
"Help us?", Chara mutters. Frisk, on the other hand, looks pretty excited now.
"That'd be great! Thanks!"
Chara then clears his throat, causing Frisk to look at him with confusion for a moment before they realize what Chara's trying to convey.
"It's not just the two of us here though. Our world's Flowey is here too to help us, as is... Dr Alphys. We'll have to introduce you to them as well. Is that okay?"
Areui does look a bit more alarmed now. Even so, he does share his genuine opinion on it.
"If that's not injustice I don't know what is."
Yeah, it may not be too smart an idea to further validate Narktus' motivation. But Areui can sympathize with him. He knows the frustration an extremely unfair situation brings with it, especially one with such consequences.
"But, uh... don't be mad at me for asking, I'm just curious... are you going through this path all on your own, or do you have people around you that you can confide in. I don't mean like minions or anything, but rather... people you trust?"

"ALLOW ME TO ADD TO THAT."
Some Risen appear alongside the Bishops, though they're largely fodder.
Ganondorf smirks.
He draws his blades over his shoulder and does a massive spin slash, scattering Malice goop that is hazardous to touch everywhere.
And then he attacks, vanishing entirely before emerging from a Malice pool behind the enemy forces with a powerful shockwave slam attack.
"Flowey and Alphys... Well, there's a few things I'll need to get straight with the doc, and I don't trust that flower, but if you say he's on your side then I'll trust you. For now. Don't make me use my EX form on you."
"Do you really think any normal people would think my goals are sane, Areui? The only allies who are on my level in power and authority are scum. If and when I fall, my last wish is that someone records their petty self-destructive power struggles."
"That being said..." Narktus sighs.
"There are a few people I do like, at least more than the High Council. The Freelancers, Susamaru and Yahaba, some grunts who frequent the Central Tower like Matthew and Kyra..."

"Okay, fuck that." Aleifr says when he sees another dome of light come at the fighters. As using Absorb Elements on it again is a bad idea, he instead starts charging a Dark III, though he doesn't intend to use it to attack. "Compression Transform... Shadow Wall!" A sphere of black covers him, cancelling out the portion of light coming at him. It also has the side effect of recovering some of his elemental balance, as parts of his skin return to its normal green.
While he's committed to being low effort in this fight, he does decide to join in the Beam Spam started by the Saiyans, and shoots out a barrage of smaller Dark blasts from one hand.

Explora Colores
Susana and her team arrived to the arena ruins. Susana was flying, carrying "Clownface" yet trapped in the bubble (he was under arrest yet), and the 2 Ivans went bouncing in a giant balloon created by Balloonman.
So, that's our enemy.
The team was watching at distance a being with 4 wings, with the Power of light. He was fighting with another warriors in a difficult battle.
So, what we'll do?
That's the plan: I'll be protecting us with my barrier. "Clownface" and Balloonman, melee fighters, will be awaiting the moment for attack. And you, Topboy, bust a move... whatever that means for you.
OK, ma'am.
He wrapped his Astro Top, his Weapon Of Choice, drawed close to his head, and throwed it with all his power.

The Dark Bishops protect themselves from the good with magical barriers. However, the shockwave slam attack does strike a good bit of them, knocking them to the ground.
The few that dodged attempt to counterattack with Jormungandr tomes, sending spiritual-looking dark magic Ganondorf's way. If he gets hit, there's a chance he may get poisoned.
Regardless of how this works, Ganondorf will then see the visuals of a female, somewhat demonic being in front of him, after which the area itself seems to shiver, and a blue-ish dome-like magic attack will attempt to strike Ganondorf. If successful, Ganondorf will drop to his equivalent of '1 HP'.
Which, if he's been poisoned as well, would spell instant death for him.
"You don't need to worry about Flowey. We're keeping him on a leash and he knows it.", Chara smirks.
"I should quickly explain the situation to Alphys before introducing you though. If we just walk in with you by our side, she might think you're our Mettaton, and then we'd have to explain that you're not, and..."
"She'd still be incredibly happy to meet you, don't get us wrong, but she would also be distraught that you're not the Mettaton we've been trying to revive."
Narktus may be surprised by an expression of concern on Areui's face. Not concern for the situation or for his own well-being, but rather for Narktus.
"I'm glad you have at least a few people you can confide in. I don't know with what sort of plan you want to get revenge for what's been done to you, and I doubt you'll tell me if I ask, but be sure it's not a self-destructing path of your own. The fact that you sound like you're expecting to fall is not very reassuring. Though I suppose I'm being hypocritical... I was fully prepared to either succeed by my own power or die trying."
He finally lands on the ground.
"But keep in mind that I was not in a good mental state at that time. In either form. And looking back at it now, I don't like the people that I used to be. Filled with bitterness and hatred. I'm not gonna naively claim that I'm all back to my jolly self, or that I have fully forgiven the people who've wronged me. I still get some pleasure from spiting the gods who cursed me. Regardless, I can live a mostly normal life again. Maybe you'll be able to get to such a point in the future too."

Gohan joins the barrage of blasts with a Masenko, and Jack Frost with a Bufudyne. However, Orochi raises his arms - and wings - and blocks all of it, seemingly effortlessly.
That is, until the Top-Nado blows in. Caught off-guard by yet another new fighter, Orochi is swept off his feet by the whirlwind, allowing Goenitz to add to the storm with a Yonokaze whirlwind, leaving Orochi dazed and open to a beatdown!

"Well, guess I'm not getting an answer until I beat you back to normal. Tanzanite." Sig puts his hands together and unleashes a storm of antimatter spheres, contained within magic seals that rupture on impact for cataclysmic explosions.
Sephiroth throws a Megaflare into the mix, and even more explosions come courtesy of Orochi's long-time friend King Dedede jumping in with a swarm of missiles from the Dedede Hammer!
It's okay... Nyu? Can I call you Nyu? Kuro smiles gently.
The Risen are scattered by the shockwave.
Meanwhile, Ganondorf is completely unaffected. By both Jormungandr and Hel.
"You think to use darkness and curses against me? I am the king of darkness! I am a curse incarnate! I... am... GANON!"
He raises his swords together and strikes the ground, creating a huge explosion of Malice to literally melt the Dark Bishops alive. They will find magical barriers incapable of sustaining themselves when exposed to this much of the stuff, simply flickering in and out of existence.
He emerges from the ashy smog left behind by the explosion, eyes glowing a menacing red. "And no simple holy weapon will be enough to stop me."
"... Okay!"
Narktus looks down at the table, a sad, contemplative look in his eyes.
"... Maybe. If I live. There are people who rely on me to keep doing what I've been doing - my soldiers are paid, and the High Council members have contracts signed by hand. I can't just tear down all I've established so far."

Once done with all side, he appears above Orochi and tries to bash him to the ground with a downward blow, using both fists!
Zelerie and Vegeta, meanwhile, rush for Orochi, though they can't do a full combo and instead each goes for a separate kick!
...
Lucia hold her hands out and shoot a blast at the missile, destroying it. Then, she grab its explosion, adding her own fire to give it a "shape" and hold it above her head, adding even more fire to make it bigger and meaner!
The force storm does hit, and she finally notices Jobak.
ALLOW ME TO OFFER PROPER OPPORTUNITY TO BACK OFF! She says, tossing the explosion at Jobak. If it hit him, it'll trigger a potent blast, about five times stronger than the original missile attack. Then, she'll try to fly away, though she'll summon two whips again.

Laxin, Sith Emperor
Joshua looked down at the astromech next to him, and while the spartan couldn't understand Skippy, he had a pretty good idea of what he was trying to say. Just as Joshua was about to peek from cover, Terra's keyblade glider swept him off of his feet.
He found himself dropped next to Warrick, giving the Mandalorian a sideways glance before raising his blaster cannon
"Your plan worked a treat."
Joshua ducked behind Warrick's ship as cover for the force storm, raising his voice in annoyance.
"These guys and their lightning hands are starting to get really annoying."
Skippy's emerald saber glided through the Imperial line, soldiers diving out of the way of the blade. A blur of green tore through the enemy, Skippy even managing to damage a walker's leg!
Rancor Squad took full advantage of the cover they had, Sovereign pointing out Lucia's fire whips. The four clones rush from cover, splitting off into pairs, two for each whip. Their hands clasped tightly around the intense flame, but they're not bothered by it too much.
The four soldiers aren't done fighting yet though, holding onto the whip with one hand, they drew their blasters, firing what little ammunition they have left into the Imperial line.
The noxious smoke emanating from TXRA took down a group of Imperials, but the soldiers acclimated quickly, retreating away from the massive being.
TXRA's rapid cooling and heating of the walker's leg forced it to snap, the Walker stumbling on one leg for a few moments before falling over onto the Imperial line. That still left two walkers, and both turned their sole focus onto TXRA.
The pair of walkers began to release an unending torrent of intense blaster fire, hoping to either take down TXRA, or force him on the defensive. The Imperial Infantry continued to focus their fire on the smaller opponents, Lucia seemingly having a few moments to breathe.
That was until the hallmark screeching of fighters could be heard, a squadron of Mark VI Fighters
◊ roaring into view above the battlefield, their focus on the now flying Lucia.
The fighter squadron roar high into the air above Lucia, flipping to turn and come directly down toward the angel. They started firing toward the angel, hoping to take down the divine being and the vulnerable commandos.
235 Heavy Assault Troopers
390 Imperial Infantry
200 Mark I War Droids
2 Lancer Class Walkers
24 Mark VI Fighters
The fleet above the fighters was drawing closer, if it managed to arrive before they left, the heroes would be in serious danger. Far more important than that, however, was Laxin's presence, the darkness of his presence surrounding the heroes and the battlefield. The intense dread and anger growing more intense with each passing moment.
It was time to leave while they still could.

"Ugh, I know." Warrick climbs into the cockpit of his starfighter.
Medic grabs on to one of the whips.
The Keyblade Glider vanishes, seeing as Lacia has a handle on the rescuing thing.
Jobak catches Lacia's blast using Tutaminis and absorbs it. "No thank you." He then reaches out a hand, and a cloud of dark energies swirl around Lucia, aiming to apply constant crushing pressure.
However, she won't have to worry about that, because Raeii delivers another backspin kick amplified with the Force, disrupting Jobak's Crushing Darkness. The Jedi then turns and... does a Force Leap to Warrick's starfighter.
Kuro contemplates how to explain it to someone with the mentality of a toddler.

HOLD ON FRIENDS! AND CLOSE THY EYES! Lacia strains a little and sprout fiery wings around her, before using her Sixth Sense to get them to grab the blasts. Once done, they retract around and provoke a wide bright burst of light, seeking to blind the pilotes temporarily.
If that works, Lucia promptly zoom ahead, attempting to get away with a burst of speed. She's worried when Jobak nearly attacks her, but with his distraction, she start fleeing again.

Summoning a thermal detonator from a fallen Imperial soldier, Ben arms the grenade and hurls it towards the fighters overhead, guiding its trajectory with the Force as best he can.
"The Force is with me, and I am one with the Force!"
Regardless of whether the ensuing explosion actually does any damage, he sprints after Lacia, batting away oncoming blaster fire with his lightsaber. The young Jedi springboards off the wreckage of the downed walker, leaps towards the angel, and grabs hold of a whip with his free hand.
"Heh... It's a pity Master Skywalker couldn't be here," he remarks. "I suspect he would've loved to go on a daring, do-or-die mission like this one."

TXRA seems to have bitten off a little more than he can chew, as the two remaining Walkers indeed put him squarely on the defensive. He stops maintaining his Toxic Cloak so he can focus entirely on defensive fire with his smaller guns, but even that isn't enough as more and more shots make it through, and the damage on his outer shell begins to become noticeable. He resorts to using his Gatling gun to shoot down the harder-hitting missiles to make the fight a little more even.
He passes up Lucia's whips as he's one of the ones providing covering fire for others to retreat. The faces and central head close their eyes as he begins to concentrate.
Then, all at once, he vanishes. Where'd he go?
He answers a moment later: Staring down the main gun of one of the Walkers, floating in the air as the werewolf head gives a sinister Slasher Smile, before opening up all his faces to reveal an entire second array of guns.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" All of the barrels light up at once as he activates Thanatosian Laughter, attempting to cram More Dakka directly up and into the Walker's internal electronics.

Terra's Keyblade Glider suddenly swoops in to pick up Warrick. He looks to where Terra's been standing this whole time... and sees that he's gone.
Thanks, he thinks to himself. The Glider drops him off at his starfighter, then rushes towards the most wounded person - probably Joshua.
Jobak is briefly held at bay by the efforts of the Jedi, but he recovers quick, and unleashes a Force Storm upon the battlefield.
