Pyra smiles, giving a double fist-pump of excitement.

"Ok!"

Mythra smirks. "I don't think they've had enough time to get that far away, but I don't actually know for sure. I think our best bet is trying to lure them out... somehow."

Yatta!

So we'd need bait, huh? Hm...

He tries to think about that stuff. I guess there must be a pattern to exploit at some point, right?

"Okay... would you mind telling me more about this Aqua? You might require my aid if she's more powerful than the only person I know who's capable of matching Laxin in single combat," Ben says, tossing his unlit lightsaber into the air and catching it.


Nicole remains completely silent after Myth!Thor explains his "plan". Then, without warning, she straight-up bursts out laughing.

"Oh, man, get a load of this guy! Breaking into Set's evil lair when he's not around?! Wiping out his flunkies and big-ass superweapon in one go?! I didn't think you were the god of comedians!"

After taking a moment to calm herself, she looks considerably more serious.

"Newsflash, dude: we already tried that plan. And guess what? It was a complete friggin' failure. I know because I was a part of that operation. We were supposed to have caught them off-guard and struck a huge blow, but they knew we were coming," she says. "So instead, we all got our asses royally handed to us on a silver platter, I barely made it out alive, they weren't so much as scratched, the superweapon's still up and running, and we don't even have moles in the Cabal anymore. Yet here you are, thinking that giving this failed plan another try is somehow a stroke of tactical genius."

She narrows her eyes.

"So you're either a crappy planner, arrogant as hell, or... you ain't really Thor #2."

"Hmm... the previous time they showed up, Me and Pyra were talking about... complicated stuff. But I think there's a pattern of some kind. This thing seems to be drawn to us... me and Pyra, I mean. I think, if we wait around long enough, they'll...

In the background, Dark Riku opens up a Corridor.

"She was strict yet caring, and braver than any other Keyblade wielder. Braver than me... I-I failed the original test for the Mark of Mastery where Aqua succeeded, and Xehanort used that opportunity to trick me. Our mentor and Xehanort's former friend, Master Eraqus, set her after me to make sure I didn't fall to darkness... but that ended up..."

He sighs.

"Not going well. We lost our trust in each other, and came to blows with each other and our friend Ventus several times. Eventually, Xehanort stole my body, Ventus was possessed by his inner darkness and had to shatter his own heart to stop the destruction of everything... and Aqua fell to the Realm of Darkness trying to save us."

Dark Riku glances aside with a look of disinterest.    "Your tragic backstory is nice and all, but are you gonna go in, or let the Heartless come out?"   

"Right. We should continue our talk while we walk."

INDEED MY FRIEND! BUT FEAR NOT! YOU WILL ACCOMPANY ME! THE RED HAIRED WOMAN HAS SPOKEN MUCH OF YOUR ELDERLY PROWESS! WE SHALL FIGHT THE GIRL TOGETHER!

Thor then shrugs. YES MY FRIEND, BLAST IT ALL APART FROM BEYOND

AH, BUT YOU STILL RAN AHEAD OF THEM! WHEREAS I WILL USE THE BIFROST TO TELEPORT US DIRECTLY INTO THEIR LAIR! YOU APPROACHED THEM FROM THE FRONT, MY FRIEND, WHEREAS I PLOT TO BRING THE FIGHT DIRECTLY TO THEM! 'TIS WILL BE A MOST VIOLENT BATTLE, FOR WE WILL APPEAR RIGHT ON TOP OF THEM THIS TIME! THERE SHALL BE NO TIME TO DEFEND!

Meanwhile, in the background, out of sight of everyone, fucking Eleven giddily climbs her way out of the mountain. She dust herself off, and then walk her way near Oca. Then, if uninterrupted, she smack on some chewing-gum, glance at Oca, and nudge him with her elbow. There's a curious purple aura around her, like black sand hovering near her. This cloak her from sight unless she's close to people, so only Oca and those near him can see her.

Aye, what's homeboi talking about?

...

Huh, I've got my Captain to back me up. Maybe we could attack him altogether?

Pyra scratches her head nervously. "I'm not too keen on being... bait. But if you think it would work."

Oca says "Cool." when GW!Thor gives him the thumbs-up on a bombing run.

He turns to Eleven when she tries to get his attention.

"He's telling us about his GENIUS plan to rush in to some bad guy place and kill everything there. Like I can see it working, but it's not exactly a plan. I can see it failing with a way higher probability."

"Hey wait, aren't you part of that group?"

His casualness with the enemy will be the death of him.

Throat of the World

Hearing Nicole's suspicions echoing her own, Ottavia glances towards the half-dragon, speaking directly into her mind. "This does feel reckless even for him, though you'd probably know more about that. He might be being manipulated or fed false information." She'll find she can respond in kind, even if she didn't have her own telepathy.

They don't need to wait that long, though, as Lambert's eyes glow yellow when he notices Eleven sneaking up to Oca, piercing through her invisibility cloak. "Ah, there's the other shoe."

As he listens to Terra's story, Ben offers him a sympathetic look.

"Then consider this your chance to finally set things right. With the Force as our ally, the Aqua you know will be freed from her curse," he assures. "Even if she doesn't immediately forgive you, I have a good feeling that she'll come around in due time. Now, what say we rescue your friend?"

He proceeds to stroll into the Corridor.


Nicole scoffs at Myth!Thor's failure to heed her words.

"Break down the front doors, teleport inside... either way, you're diving headfirst into a friggin' kill box. The Cabal ain't a squad of bumbling pushovers you can crush with your divine pinky finger. They're powerful, they know how to work together, and even their token human can disintegrate shit just by touching it. Trust me, dude, fighting them on their turf is a borderline suicide mission."

She blinks in surprise when Ottavia suddenly addresses her telepathically. Once the initial shock wears off, she sends her a reply.

"I'm pretty sure this dude wrote the book on recklessness. But yeah, my gut's telling me he's either being played or feeling more overconfident than usual - if that's possible. Even he ain't stupid enough to think a failed plan would seriously be worth trying again."

Then Lambert reveals that Eleven had snuck up on Oca, much to the Arcane half-dragon's chagrin.

"Oh, son of a bitch..."

Oh yeah, Set says hello.

Eleven raises her two fingers and after two-seconds worth of build-up, the whole structure goes KABLOOEY as she uses an explosion to hurl it apart! Those too slow to evade or shield away will be protected though, since Thor compress his energy field into a shield big enough to shield his friends!

Eleven stares at it in an unimpressed manner, standing above the big crater she punched into the area. Oh, nice reactions!

HAHAHA YES, A REACTION IN YOUR FACE! WHOAH! Thor hurls her hammer right at Eleven, who coyly smirks as a random Gardevoir appears below, amidst the rubbles.

"Yes."

As they pass through the Corridor of Darkness, the malice of the Realm of Darkness promptly claws at them. Terra, who has already sank to the deepest depths, completely shrugs it off, but Ben will have to contend with tricks and hallucinations of the people he cares about trying to lure him off the path that Terra leads.


Master Gundam flies back. "Typical..."

Master Asia doesn't make a move. He's waiting to see who else shows up. The Cabal isn't stupid enough to only send one or two members.

And his intuition pays off. He manages to catch an incoming Thouzer and hurl him away to keep him out of the action.

Oca manages to defend himself with some effort, epic cross-armed style.

"You should all do conference calls from now on instead of, like, meeting in person."

He takes a step back and reaches out with his senses, hoping to get a read on every enemy in the vicinity.

"That was kind of rude, Eleven. If you were going to attack us anyways, why lead me on like that?"

Throat of the World

"And there's our cue." Before Eleven finishes charging, Ottavia and Lambert clasp hands as a spherical portal builds around the two of them. Prior to leaving, though, Ottavia points her finger at Thor and attempts to dispel any mind-altering effects on him, just in case she missed one earlier.

The pair then teleport the fuck out of there, leaving Christina to build an ice barrier around herself using the surrounding snow. Between that and Thor's shield, she's left without a scratch, and immediately starts counterattacking with a swarm of water tentacles from her arm in Eleven's general direction, to try and bind or pin her down. A pair of long magitek cannons fly out of her back to facilitate ranged attacks.

The clouds begin to build, darken and crackle both below and above the mountains, but it's not Thor's doing...

"Emmaline? I-Is that really... no, no, this has to be some kind of Dark Side trap. The real Emmaline wouldn't try to dissuade me from saving an innocent woman," Ben mutters as he walks alongside Terra. "She'd want to come along and help me free her from this terrible curse, too."

His eyes dart around left and right as he's confronted by hallucination after hallucination.

"Master Darryn? Master Skywalker? Warrick? ... No, no, no, none of this is kriffing real! Trust only in the Force here, Ben. Yes, trust only in the Force..."


Nicole is thankfully saved by Myth!Thor's shield, though it does little to calm her temper. Annoyed, she glares at Oca.

"Dude, you casually chatted up the friggin' enemy instead of blasting her off the mountain! You're in no position to lecture anyone right now! Lousy, amoral, good-for-nothing..."

She takes a moment to address everyone who isn't the Cabal.

"Alright, listen up! That little punk right there's Eleven, aka one of Set's top dogs! Which means the rest of the Cabal probably ain't far behind!" she says. "Unless any of you has crazy magical god powers that can actually kill her, you might wanna get the hell outta here!"

Spreading her dragon wings, she proceeds to take off like a goddamn bullet away from the mountain.

"Oh. I forgot about that."

Terra holds up his Keyblade and projects a light. After a few seconds, the illusions cease. "Sorry. As you know, my heart was steeped in darkness once before, so those things don't happen to me."

Eventually, they reach the Dark Margin. A dimly-lit shore of black sand. Everything just looks so grim here.

And, standing on the surface of the water, there is a feminine figure. Her back is turned to the Keyblade wielder and the Jedi, so it's not quite obvious yet that something is wrong with her.

Or, I would say that, but she emanates a dark presence of immense power.

Eleven activates Rosé and punch Mjolnir, hurling it through the waters attacks and back at the group. Then, she immediately teleport above Thor and spike him into the ground with a strong kick. She uses this to quickly move towards Oca and the others, attempting to go from one to the other like a pinball. Each blow is likely to send them flying!

Then, she catch up to Nicole, and try to grab her by the feet before hurling her back into the group, whom she harass with a series of potent blasts regardless of success.

Downward, the Gardevoir smirk and cast Safeguard and Reflect, diminishing fairly significantly the debuffs and physical damage that may be sent the team's way!

Heh.

Thor explode out of the ground immediately, of course.

AH YES! I KNEW YOU WOULD ATTACK! BUT IT IS YOU WHO FELL INTO MY TRAP!

Why so big guy?

BECAUSE I WILL MURDER YOU TO DEATH NOW! He prepares to attack, but the Gardevoir immediately levitate a bunch of rocks and allow a nearby Shigaraki to touch them, decaying them. She then promptly hurls twenty boulders. Or rather, ten at Thor, ten at the rest of the group! If hit, they will be "contamined" by the decay and take creeping damage over time!

   Dumb meathead.    Comments Shigaraki.

Vs The Cabal

...

That's a plan. And I get it but don't worry.

"DARKNESS... FINGER!"

Master Gundam's hand glows a destructive purple. Nicole, who has run into Domon at least once before, might take notice of this.

Master Asia simply reaches out his hand, and the ki emanating from that of his Gundam obliterates the stones before they reach it. Then he discharges that ki in a big-ass beam on Shigaraki!

Cabal Fight

Oca's giga brain has taken stock of most fighters present, and has time to respond to Nicole.

"Nuke people who talk to me first, ask questions later! Got it, thanks for the lesson!"

His metafinger blams the teleport button, causing him to fizz between several locations and probably causing Eleven's pinball attack to miss. He buffs up with Pseudo Super Saiyan - not nearly enough to keep up with her, but he has a feeling the healing factor might come in handy.

He bawoops out of the immediate vicinity, and locks on to two ki signatures - the 'Gardevoir's' and Shigaraki's, before firing a two-pronged    "MAN-KI-BATSU!"    beam.

Ben offers Terra a grateful smile when he dispels the illusions.

"Heh, if nothing else, I'll be certain to remember that trick if I ever need to return here."

When the pair eventually reach the Dark Margin, he takes a moment to look Aqua over, shuddering upon sensing her intense dark aura.

"By the Force..."

His gaze flickers back to Terra.

"That's Aqua, isn't it? The power she's radiating.... I think I've only seen such overwhelming darkness once before, in Darth Laxin," he says. "But I assure you, I won't allow my fear to stop me from saving her. Let's break that curse and get your friend back."


"That's not what I meant, dumbass! God, you're as thick as Thor #2..."

Snarling, Nicole furiously attempts to blast Eleven away with, well, an Arcane Blast.

"Oh, no! I'm not sticking around just so you can just nuke my ass into the dirt!"

As she continues flying away from the battle/kill box as fast as she can, she briefly glances back in time to notice Master Asia performing the Darkness Finger.

"Whoa... is he related that Domon guy or something? Eh, I can worry about that later."

Throat of the World

Seeing Eleven turn the group's attacks against each other, Christina quickly sinks underground to evade, the snow and rocks giving way like water. It also gives her some protection against Eleven's assault, though her strikes are more than enough to blow open a crater where she's hiding, expose her and knock her back. Her cannons blast apart the couple of boulders that come her way. Noting what even the stray pieces are doing to the surroundings they touch, she makes a mental note to be extra careful with dodging.

She cushions the impact by raising a bouncy blob behind her, and for the instant that her foot touches the ground she projects a threadlike kinetic field over the rocks, invisible to the naked eye as it snakes its way forward. If/when it reaches where Eleven is standing/flying, it will activate as a 'puddle' and sharply increase the gravity acting on her temporarily to snare her. Just a moment behind it, Christina bounces back through the air as a large formation of ice builds up on her fist, swinging a giant punch at the Sister! Her base strength pales in comparison to the Rosé form, but she partially piggybacks on the field to boost the force of her attack.

A shape whooshes out of the clouds below, and before the rocks can reach Thor, some of them are blown back at Gardevoir and Shigaraki by powerful, concentrated gusts. The assault doesn't stop there, as a small but dense bolt of electricity shaped like an arrow flies towards Thor, synergizing with the thunder god's own to increase the power of his next lightning attack. Finally, another quartet of magitek cannons shoot out a dispel to try to cancel out the opposing party's Safeguard - possibly even Reflect if it's that effective - riding on the wind so that it travels as a wave, courtesy of a pair of large, metallic wings blotting out the sun.

Mike.

Eleven giggle as she tanks the Beam and carry on her attack on Nicole.

Then, she decides to blow apart the Magitek cannons with a series of potent blasts, preventing them from dispelling the buffs. She also prepare to deal with Oca, but the gravity does surprise her, and she ends up staggered...

Even if she manages to raise her hand to grab the giant ice fist, smirking. Oohh, nice punch! She comments, before pulling her fist back to try to punch through the ice block and into her!

Meanwhile, Shiggy hold his hand outward and his Decay manifest through the air, spreading through the beams and decaying them fast. At least the path is straighforward though, and the air-decay stop and fade away after a little bit. This does shield him from the beam and the other attacks though, revealing some serious firepower to him! He's become quite the Glass Canon!

   Easy...   

And that's not all, Helping Hand, go!

Shiggy touches the ground, and the decay spread at a vert fast pace, collapsing the ground and decaying whoever is in contact with it, effectively spreading a large canyon to scar the land. And if they jump, Gardevoir greet them with a very potent lightning attack, which will engulf them all bar Master Asia and Mike if they don't do anything to stop it!

However, Thor neuter a great deal of it, absorbing it into his hammer and blasting at Eleven with it! This sends her flying!

Master Gundam remains hanging in the air. It throws a punch at Gardevoir, and its forearm detaches, rocketing towards the Pokémon from above while trailing a cable behind it. If the arm isn't caught or destroyed, it will retract back to the Gundam.


"Before we resort to violence, I want to try to reason with her."

"Aqua!" Terra demanifests his Keyblade Armor and runs towards her.

She manifests her Keyblade and suddenly levels it at his throat, causing him to stumble away.

   "This is your only chance. Leave... or die."   

Terra looks distraught, but slowly backs away. "Aqua, don't you recognize me? It's Terra! Xehanort is gone from me! I'm your friend!"

   "I know who you are, Terra. I sacrificed everything to save you and it amounted to nothing but years of suffering for everyone! Eraqus was right about the danger you posed - I was too naive to see the monster I would create! IT'S TOO LATE TO TAKE BACK WHAT XEHANORT DID, AND YOU LET HIM DO IT!"   

Terra looks down sadly, remaining silent.

   "If you won't leave, then I'll just correct my mistake. Here and now."   

Anti-Aqua charges at Terra, looking like she wants to violently impale him.

Terra, for his part, seems unable - or unwilling - to defend himself, but Ben has enough time to intercept her.

Oca seems at a loss when Shigaraki forces his attack to dissolve into nothing, and quickly drops the beam before it has a chance to spread from it to him.

   "Never seen anyone else able to do something like that before..."   

He tanks the weakened lightningy attack, and swoops down to fly alongside Master Asia's rocket punch. He blasts forwards to slash at the Gardevoir with his gauntlet's ki-enchanced blades on his flight past.


"but can you take in these sick dunks"

He takes his b-ball, which was definitely there this whole time, and jumps(?) fifteen feet into the air before slam dunking it into a hoop which was also definitely there this whole time.
