"I, erm, was referring to m-", Simporak starts to say to Darkness, only for the two of them to get teleported, now stuck in the pod together.

"Aaaaah! Your metal body is scraping against me!"

"I can't help it, stop being sca... wait, no, stop being delighted by this!"

Then the pod gets shot towards the Arena, both of them screaming, only Darkness' scream is a bit more elated than a regular one.

Angel continues playing along with her part of the plan. After all, if they got back this Wust-rooz person or whatever it was they were called, they might even break even on the win-loss ratio of this mission, and wouldn't that just be a hoot!

Wait, no, that would be bad.

To make sure nothing goes wrong on her end, she surpresses... a lot of things, signatures that could be picked up on and all that, anything she thinks could compromise the mission, which is pretty much everything, so there's no need to worry about causing any problems with her presence. Whether or not the sudden disappearance of it raises any alarms, well...

It wasn't likely. Pinpointing an exact location from that would be somewhere between difficult and impossible. Even if you did notice, it would be like trying to find out where someone's firing off a gun, in a forest, during the dead of night, while said person firing off the gun is also moving.

Which isn't an amazing comparison, really, but the point probably comes across.

"That's really oversimplifying things...", Angel thinks in response.

"I wish you both luck.", she then says out loud.

Yatta!

The pod lands near Riverwood, at the base of the Throat of the World. Its side opens up with a hiss, releasing the trapped occupants.


"... Kill and eat?"

CANNIBAL FUCK!

Agate's eyes go wide. "What was-"

A severed head comes flying at Courier 6, courtesy of a respawned Hank J. Wimbleton.

ANGER

Agate stares in shock for several seconds... then wordlessly gets into a battle stance. "I take it you have history. Let me help with him."

C6 snaps his head to attention and catch the head with his jaw before crushing it with his powerful teeth.

ahhhhh is little weakling... man. i kill you easily with blade friend! Instantly forgetting the point of a Blade, he equip some spiked american knuckles and runs at Hank to try to beat the shit out of him, apparently expecting Agate to just do something.

"Ah, sweet freedom!", Simporak says as he immediately crawls out.

"Now I can continue my search for my darling queen, Roodaka."

Darkness also crawls out, then tilts her head.

"I guess I'll report back to the base now. I'm sure they'll be happy to see me!", she says before the two separate.

"W-wait, normally you would use my axe!" Not letting that stop her, she leaps into the air and does a powerful overhead slam, sending crystal shrapnel everywhere.

Hank leaps out of the way of their attacks and pulls out a semi-automatic shotgun.

He pumps and blasts!


Mega Man X drops in, giving Darkness no time to run off on her own.

"You're finally back. I don't know whether you escaped or annoyed them into releasing you, but... at least you're back. The Yamato's up and running now, let's-"

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" declares a voice that will be very familiar to Darkness.

Darkness turns to Megaman X when he appears, looking elated.

"Oh, it's been such a while! I-"

Then she hears the other voice and gasps.

"Is that... who I think it is?", she eagerly asks, putting her hands on her cheeks. ... the ones on her face, you weirdo.

"Indeed, it is I. My name is MEGUMIN!"

EXPLOSION

Megumin strides forth confidently, grinning deviously. "And you know what that means for you and your little friend, Darkness... or should I say, Lalatina!"

X leans towards Darkness. "What does it mean?"

Darkness stares for a moment before the sound of glass shattering can be heard all around.

"nnnnNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!", she cries out in despair while wiggling with the ferocity of a thousand worms. "Megumiiiiin! My name is Darkness!"

"And just like that, the maiden cracks. How about you?"

Megumin points her staff at X, grinning deviously. Somehow, she's gotten an underbarrel grenade launcher attached to it.

"You're the one I'm really here for. Will you abandon your ally and run for your life, or will you fight a hopeless battle?" she taunts.

"... Why though?"

"..."

Beat

"Why what?"

"Why do you want me and not Darkness? She's from your world."

"Er- well-!" Megumin stammers, unable to answer immediately. Apparently, she didn't expect to get this far into her dramatic speech without being interrupted and doesn't know how to follow it up.

Darkness pauses.

"Wait, you're here to fight?"

Suddenly she looks excited and spreads her arms.

"Yes! YES! Come at me, Megumin! Blast me with Explosion! I want to feel the force all around meeee~"

... well, that should explain to Megaman X why Megumin doesn't want to fight her.

"U-uh..."

X knew about Darkness's little 'problem'. They all knew by this point. But he didn't expect her to take it as far as her own teammates.

"I just said I'm here for the guy!" Megumin protests.

"Why, though?!"

"Heheheh... Isn't it obvious?"

"Homing Torpedo! Magnet Mine! Parasitic Bomb! Ground Hunter! Metal Anchor! Circle Blaze! Sniper Missile! Bomb Bee! EXPLOSION! And... even... NOVA STRIKE!"

"... I don't get it."

Forgetting about the explosive munitions on hand, Megumin whacks X on the head with her staff. "YOU DUMMY! THOSE ARE ALL EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS!"

"Ak-!"

"I wish to tear this arsenal out of you and take it for myself. I will become... MEGUMIN X! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Darkness tries to grab onto Megaman X's hand all anime-like, wide smile and sparkling eyes on her face.

"You should definitely give her those weapons! Then she can blast me even more! You have weapon data, so you can just get copies afterwards, can't you?", she eagerly asks.

Megumin X sniffles. She didn't get to stay and talk to The Zekenator after the fight... he was so cool...

"Achoo!"

"Are you the okay, valued customer?"

"Myeah, just a sneeze."

She continues to eat her tendies.

"You... can't?"

"I'm a robot! The weapons are integrated into my systems! It's all data chips and fuel storage, no actual weapons!"

Megumin goes catatonic as she slowly slides down her staff towards the ground. "oh... okay..."

X sighs.

Darkness looks disappointed, then releases X from her masochistic grip and sits down next to Megumin.

Not one to stay down for too long though, Darkness then looks at Megumin.

"What have you been up to since I was captured anyway?", she asks, curious.

"Oh, you know. Freelancer stuff."

She shows off the aforementioned grenade launcher attachment on her staff. "Behold! This isn't a weapon - it's a casting focus!"

"What does it do?" X asks, a bit more genuinely curious than he'd like to admit.

"I'm glad you asked." Megumin aims the staff at the pod that dropped Darkness and Simporak in. X gets a bad feeling and moves out of the way. He almost goes to retrieve Darkness, but... eh, she's the tank. She'll be fine.

"Through gunmetal forges and molten steel, my power grows eternally. Exponential, unyielding, it urges to erupt!"

A targeting reticle appears on the ground around the pod - not like the runic sigils that usually accompany a casting of Explosion.

"Let the flames of destiny pierce the veil of magical limits! NUCLEAR LAUNCH!"

The 'grenade launcher' glows a hot red and shoots an arcane firebolt, which arcs into the air and careens down, engulfing the area of the targeting reticle in a big ol' mushroom cloud as Megumin turns her back to the blast and strikes a pose with her hand over her uncovered eye. "Check it."

Basically a magitek Explosion that isn't Cast from Hit Points.

Darkness does look intrigued by the grenade launcher on her staff, even if Darkness does know what a grenade launcher is.

And of course, Darkness does not move out of the way at all when Megumim gives a showcasing of her weapon's abilities... and as such gets sent flying once Nuclear Launch hits its target.

Rest in peace, random pod. We will never forget your service.

... meanwhile, Darkness ended up crashing into a tree, and now has her front stuck in it. She doesn't seem to be all that bothered though.

Megumin chuckles.

"Well, if your plan to fight us for my Special Weapons is a bust... can we go?"

"... Yeah, but this isn't over! I will find a way, mark my words!"

"Sure, sure." Mega Man X goes to pull Darkness out of the tree.

Naturally, Darkness begins to wriggle.

"Oh no! What are you doing? Trying to take advantage of me while I can't get out? So vile, so perverted!"

And then she missteps when X pulls her out, resulting in her falling over and hitting her head on the ground.

She looks up, unamused. Karma is a bitch, as they say.

When she sets her eyes on Megumin again though, she cheers back up.

"Oh, don't forget, if you need target practice, you can always come to me~"

"I'm gonna nuke the Yamato."

hrngh? oh ya He moves his hand, asking her to give him the axe, and if she does he use it to successfully defend himself from the blasts, though he merely uses the axe as a shield instead of doing an anime and cutting the shells out of the air.

Courier 6 runs up to his enemy, Hank, and attempts to strike him in the right rib with the axe. Should that work, he'll hold up Hank in the air, meaning for Agate to do something of her own to him. If she doesn't or cant, he just tries to smash Hank back into the ground. He wields the axe with ferocious might and deadly skill.

Agate places a hand on the ground and crystalline spikes erupt from the ground to skewer Hank while Courier 6 holds him.

However, the crystals are immediately smashed by rocks erupting underneath them, as Deimos leaps out, catching Hank and bringing him to safety!

"Another enemy?!"

Deimos pulls out a dragon sword and tosses it to Hank, who looks at him in confusion.

DEIMOS...?

Deimos nods. YES

OKAY THEN

Hank grabs the sword and rushes Agate, keeping her at bay with stabs and slashes, while Deimos rushes Courier 6 bare-handed, just punching away at him with unnatural levels of strength.

Courier 6 does a cavernous laugh when his ploy succeeds, but then look confused when Hank get back-up. Recovering quickly, he's still struck by Deimos there and there, the madmen's skills and might being equal enough that C6 can't block everything. His Power Armor can take it though, but it start to show damage quickly enough.

C6 toss Agate's axe back at her though and decides to go man to man with Deimos, attempting to block a strike. He then move in to try to headbutt the stone man, and attempts to use that to regain the upper hand, swinging away with abandon at his foe.
