"We accidentally got timewarped from the future while in the middle of a fight.", the red cat says. "He was looking for-... something, and got angry at me when I claimed to have the solution. Apparently he doesn't believe me."

The cat looks at the knocked out being. There's a hint of sympathy in the cat's eyes.

"If he did then we wouldn't have had to fight at all."

The slightest hints of steam start to emit from the knocked out body. Saitama may notice it instantly, unlike the cat.


"This bastard...", Pandora grumbles. While she knows it's not on purpose, she feels like this regeneration is mocking the people she'd lost. Making itself appear like the regeneration of the monster she inadvertently created...

She creates a holographic shield not unlike the ones her mother used to create, then starts flying around to try to avoid as many missiles as she can. However, when the missiles get blocked before they can be any trouble, she responds with missiles of her own. Smaller ones of course, but still powerful ones.

Meta Knight epically flies up, then down and slashes through a missile that was headed his way. The missile explodes behind him, then Meta Knight goes for a cleaving slash with Galaxia's power.

"That's unfortunate."

Saitama glances down.

"Uh, hey, is there supposed to be steam comin' out of 'im?"

"Ste-oh shit!", the cat says, now looking back at the creature. Small red lines are starting to appear on its skin.

"That means he's recovering his power. His skin is usually red, and I found out through my battle with him that his skin goes dark when his power is running low."

The cat starts to sweat nervously.

"I can't believe this. He's only been out for less than a minute and his energy is already recovering. I never expected-"

The cat looks around frantically.

"If the next time portal doesn't show up before he wakes up things are going to get seriously bad."

Nicole just rolls her eyes.

"Oh, please. Even a loud, broken clock is right at least once a day."

She watches as Dr. McNinja leaps headfirst into the trapdoor.

"Y'know, doc, we could just try finding a way around if it really is some kinda tra- okay, I guess diving right in works, too. Let's hope you didn't land in a big-ass spike pit."

Then she glances at Xoeur.

"If you wanna unlock those super senses of yours, kid, I'd go looking for the gal you're based off of. Just a thought," she suggests. "If you do... tell Neuffie I said hi, would ya? I seriously miss that badass little sweetheart."

With that, she spreads her dragon wings and flies down through the trapdoor.


Thor flies alongside Niiue's ship towards Giegue's mothership. Raising an eyebrow upon noticing the vines growing out of the latter craft, his gaze flickers to Giegue himself.

"Somehow, I doubt this could be the result of an exotic garden party gone horribly wrong."

Mystic Gardens

The 4 guys just shrug their shoulders and follow the group.

Super Pamp jumps into the water to try to avoid the missiles, and go unseen to the giant mecha.

Meanwhile, Super Love floats quickly while shooting small magic stars at the mecha with her microphone.

Giegue doesn't look too happy.

   "Who did this to my mothership!?"   

Alinivar, meanwhile, tilts his head as the Applechasers look at it from in their ship (window raised again). After a moment of pause though, the four's eyes all suddenly grow widely in shock. Yes, even Larice's, and his eyes are just a visor.

"Oh no, no no no! I am not going in there!", he says, sounding like he knows what's going on.

"Why no-oooooh, right.", Niiue mutters.

"Wait, what's going on? It's just plants, right?", Ninten asks.

"Just plants? Just plants!?"

"IF YOU WISH TO ENTER THAT PLACE, THEN BY ALL MEANS DO SO. YOU ARE ALL CAPABLE ENOUGH."

"But we not going in again! Zoom!"

"Zoom?"

"Zoom!"

"Yeah, zoom! As in 'we're zooming out of here'!"

   "What nonsense... I am here. And so is Thor. Whatever may be in there isn't going to be a problem!"   

"Then you'll have no issue going through yourself, Giegue!"

"Gee, you guys aren't usually this scared. I bet there's nothing all too wrong.", Ninten says.

"If that's what you think, you're free to join them."

"Well maybe I will!"

"Ok."

Cue Ninten getting warped out above the ship, after which said ship gets the fuck out of there. Ninten almost falls, but Giegue casually catches him with telekinesis... and is holding him upside down.

"W-whoaaaa... okay, I'm glad I'm not wearing a cap anymore because it'd drop like-pfuh!", he says before his neckerchief falls onto his face and gets in his mouth. Giegue looks back at the fleeing ship and shakes his head.

   "They've faced me once. I don't understand what could be in there that has them so frightened."   

He then turns to Thor.

   "I'm getting to the bottom of this. Do you wish to join me?"   


"Well yeah, you're not the one I'm worried about. But if he wakes up and escapes, then gets casualties, everything is fucked!", the cat says. The red lines on the creature's skin start to widen.

Somewhere nearby, a portal is beginning to open.

"Armor, huh?"

She touches down onto the bridge, before parkouring around the missiles. One that was on target to hit her is blasted by an execution beam, hopefully setting it off early.


Um... great logic. Doctor! I guess Xoeur is obligated to follow.

"R-really? I guess I'd like to learn how to do that."

Some nervous sparks fly off of her. She nods to Nicole.

"I never really got the chance to hang out with her... I'd like to."

"Of course. Though they could've at least told us what to expect before leaving," Thor replies. "But no matter. Regardless of whatever awaits us in your ship, you and I will be ready to face it."

He flies over to Giegue's ship and heads through the nearest entrance.

"If you say so."

Saitama turns and points at the portal. "Oh, hey, is that yours?"

Giegue and a still upside-down Ninten follow. They'll find the nearest entrance to be through a hole in the middle-stationed walls. Giegue and Ninten enter, then drop to the ground. Ninten is finally released from Giegue's grip and gets back up on his feet.

"Whoa, I'm dizzy.", he mutters. Giegue, meanwhile, looks around. There's more vines protruding out of the walls, most also going back into the walls. The walls and floor are also somewhat damaged (aside from the vines) and the lights are flickering, giving the room a creepy feel.

"This... what happened here...", Giegue mutters to himself, voice somewhat softer than usual.

Control Room

In a currently faraway part of the mothership, someone becomes aware that the ship has been entered.

"So it seems we have visitors. Are they the ones that chased away that awful beast? So helpful, even though they entered without a visitation. But they have earned a greeting. Perhaps they too can become friends. Hopefully they won't be as stubborn as the last one was~"

As Giegue moves towards the door, he finds that it's locked. Before he has a chance to complain and go look for another entrance, the intercom goes off.

"Welcome, friends. Welcome, and thank you for getting rid of that horrible creature that was trying to hurt me and my friends."

"What the... who is this!? What are you doing in my ship!?", Giegue asks.

"Aaaaah, so you must be Kgee-something. The last person who arrived here mentioned you. I'm sorry to say that this is my ship now~"

"Excuse me?"

"I found it empty, and finder's keepers. But I won't stop you from walking around and exploring the place a bit. You'll find my remodeling quite refreshing, Kgee-something. Maybe you'll even meet my other friends."

"Dude, who even are you?", Ninten asks now that he's snapped out of it.

"Find me and I'll tell you. But I gotta warn you, no warping allowed, or else~"

Ninten pauses. That last part, friendly as the tone was, had some sinister and threatening energy to it.

The door then unlocks.

"Here you go. Let's play, friends."

DEFINITELY Not Right


"Huh? Oh! Yes! That's a time portal, so it has to be the one we have to-"

The cat stops talking because, to its surprise, someone else comes through the portal. It's a large, robed being, towering over Saitama. The being has no arms, but it does have six back-bound sleeves that reach out behind them. ... also, it has a cobra head for a head.

"I've found you at last...", the being says, looking down upon the four of them.

Once their host has finished delivering their introductory speech, Thor puts his weapons away, then looks around all the vines before walking through the now-open door.

"You mentioned something about the last arrival. Would you be so kind as to tell me who this person might be, and how they knew about Giegue?" he asks whoever the voice on the intercom belonged to.

DevilPsyco from The Underworld (pretty deep down in the ground) Since: Jul, 2014 Relationship Status: In another castle
#360289: Oct 27th 2021 at 8:15:03 PM

"The last arrival? Oh, he was quite the rude little boy. He was hurt so my friends tried to patch him up, but he just kept yelling and insulting and running, leaving trails of his own blood."

"What... happened to him?", Ninten reluctantly asks.

The one behind the intercom doesn't answer his question.

"Apparently he worked for Kgee-guh though. At least, that's what he kept saying. Thought he could command my friends. Boy was he wrong, haha~"

"..."

"That sounds... kinda familiar, but... that can't be, right?", Ninten mutters as he looks at Thor.

As they continue to walk they'll come across an area where most of the floor has been destroyed, small pieces of debris floating around aimlessly as if in zero gravity.

"At least we can all fly.", Giegue says as he begins to float over the debris. Ninten, using telekinesis on himself again, follows.


The cat snaps its head towards Saitama so fast that it's a miracle it didn't make any sounds.

"NO you do not hit this one!"

"A threat to my life?", the being suddenly asks Saitama. "I know who you are, and I know what that implied."

"Now wait, hold on-", the cat says to the snake-like being.

"It is okay. No paradoxes will occur from this."

Before Saitama can even ask what the being means, a stream of energy suddenly flows out of one of the sleeves, moving towards Saitama to try to envelop him. If that happens...

Saitama will find himself de-aging a bit. Not a lot, but far enough that he loses his massive powers and regains his hair.

"Your threat has been nullified."

Saitama drops Genos. He falls to his knees, staring at his hands in shock.

"Can this... really be..."

He reaches up to feel his hair.

Then he clenches his fists and triumphantly roars to the heavens. "YEEEEEEESSSSSS! FINALLYYYYYYYYY!"

To say that the being is confused would be an understatement.

"... well, I suppose it is all the better if he likes it.", the being eventually says.

"Well, whatever. Can we just get back to the right time now?", the cat asks, looking more annoyed. The being shows a somewhat sheepish expression.

"Sorry. It is my fault you two have been bouncing around through time. Luckily I can sense that no paradoxes have occurred."

"Yeah, thanks to me!

Beat

"... and the efforts of whoever I happened to encounter I guess. People have helped me out greatly. I don't think I could've done it alone."

"You are well on your way to the end of all this if you can think this way again."

"Does that mean I-"

"Not yet."

"You didn't even know what I was going to-"

"Yes, I did."

The cat now looks grumpy and grumbles like a pouting child. The being lets out a soft chuckle.

"Let us wait for him to come back down so that you can thank him. Then we can depart."

Thor shakes his head.

"If you're talking about who I assume you're talking about, I thought he was supposed to be dead. From what I've heard, one of his victims managed to track the bastard down and finally give him what he deserved."

He proceeds to fly over the debris alongside Ninten and Giegue.

"How'd he end up here then? This ship wasn't even in the Arena until earlier today.", Ninten asks.

"Questions for later. Focus on getting to the control room, that's likely where this weird guy is.", Giegue says. Ninten raises an eyebrow.

"Doesn't it do anything to you to know that Porky may be here?"

"Not exactly."

"... even though you're the reason Porky is the way he is?"

Giegue pauses and turns to Ninten, at first looking angry. But Ninten isn't intimidated, even crossing his arms and raising his other eyebrow as if daring him to lash out.

... but he doesn't. Giegue calms down and looks regretful.

"... I am well aware that I am to blame for that. I indirectly harmed a lot of people, and some even lost their way of life. But I don't see what I could do to fix this mistake now. If I knew of a way, I would do it. You know that, right?"

Ninten stops looking (rightfully) judgemental and sighs.

"Yeah, I do. Now lets keep exploring."

Ninten flies ahead a little bit, landing once there's a solid floor again.

"Uh, which way...", he mutters. Giegue looks around too.

"Damn it all. He quite literally re-arranged the rooms. There's doors in different locations than where they used to be. How did he even do that?"

The intercom sound goes off again.

"I see you're a bit lost. Would you like for me to send a friend your way?"

Ninten and Giegue look at one another, then at Thor, as if letting him decide.


The cat and being turn to Saitama.

"You, of course.", the being says. The cat bows its head, and Saitama may now notice the pendant it has around its neck. The orb on it seems to be mostly filled with some sort of liquid. Mostly, but not fully.

"Thank you for your help, Saitama."

"Erm, thanks."

The creature then suddenly hops up, body now over 50% red again.

"Ah, he woke."

"Shit!"

The creature then leaps towards the being, but a differently colored stream comes out of a different sleeve, enveloping the creature's foot, and...

The creature just flops over while the affected foot stays airborne, moving ever so slowly.

"Did you just... stop his momentum by slowing down time on only his foot?", the cat asks.

"Yes.", the being bluntly answers. As the creature starts pulling on his foot somewhat comically, the being moves to the side a bit before emitting a glow from its eyes. The spell is broken, the foot moves normally again, and the sudden force basically makes the creature yeet itself into the time portal.

"And that takes care of that."

Thor spares Giegue a look.

"From what I've heard, Porky was already rather unpleasant before whatever happened between you and him. Greyface committed enough atrocities to make people want him dead, and he didn't seem to be influenced or corrupted."

He then glances around the room, looking suitably confused.

"Odin's bloody beard, this is surreal..."

His gaze flickers to the intercom.

"I don't see the harm in doing so."

"Porky didn't gain any power until I came into contact with him though. It is nice that you're willing to rationalize it, but I cannot deny that it is my fault.", Giegue says. "It is not something I will deny, that would be disrespectful towards the people he's hurt."

"Splendid!", the voice from the intercom then says to Thor. "One friend, coming right up!"

A Starman then warps in, and both Ninten and Giegue suddenly look shocked and disturbed. This Starman... it...

It's standing in a zombie-like trance stance, lights in its visor off. Its entire right side is missing as well, replaced by a giant flower that's taken root inside of its metal body.

"But why just one? Why not some more? One for each of you~"

Two more of them warp in. They're in the exact same state as the first one.

"W-what did you do to my Starmen!?"

"I already told you, Kgee-guh. I made them my friends."

"I think I'm gonna be sick-"

"And soon enough... you'll be friends too! Heehehehehehee~"

Starmen... confronted you.


"Then goodbye. Perhaps you will meet my present version at some point too."

The being moves back towards the portal. Whether it slithers or walks somehow is unknown, for the robe conceals this mystery from all prying eyes.

The cat looks at the being, then back at Saitama for a moment. The being turns its head and speaks.

"Come, Mara."

The cat looks startled, then runs after it.

"Don't tell him my name, we're not in the right time era!"

"Ah, who would believe him? Now hurry up, the fight has to conclude.", the being chuckles before going through the portal. A very disgruntled cat... who is apparently Mara... walks through behind them.

The portal then closes.
