The four guys climbs over the roof, to join the Gundam battle.

This... Is... Our enemy?

I'm afraid to tell yes.

I was imagining some army or something...

The golem notices the quartet, and grab them with its hand, getting them safely to its head, with Super Pamp.

Can I help you? Super Pamp, local hero.

Maxi, from the "Explora Colores" exploring guild. Can you help us to... Er... Fight? We want help you!

Lemme see what can I do.

He climbs down the golem, and goes with Pepsiman.

Hey, Mr. Drinks. Can you give some of your magic drinks for my 4 new friends, please? They don't have powers, but want to help us to fight.

Meanwhile, Super Love goes with Master Asia, trying to reanimate him with her healing voice.

The column of lightning deals some heavy damage to the computer, as does the Sovereign's magic hammer. The way things look with the damage it took, it's possible that they may break through with one more set of powerful attacks.

"Whoa hey now this is vandalism.", Master Magnolia says as he spreads more spores, trying to infect Thor and the Sovereign. He also tries to use PSI Flash α on them, trying to go for some status effects.

Giegue, meanwhile, repeats his healing on Ninten. Even with his incredible psychic powers, he needs to use this technique twice to properly heal Ninten. Even then, it only succeeds because the infection had not fully set in yet.


Meta Knight's eyes glow white with shock upon seeing Master Asia inside. They then turn red as he feels himself filled with immense fury. Glowing purple for a moment, he then splits into four Meta Knights, all of them rushing towards the Devil Gundam, aiming to gather strength in their Galaxias and strike at the cables keeping Master Asia trapped. Maybe they can help get him out before it's too late.

Pandora's arms, meanwhile, morph into mimics of Samus' arm cannon.

"Can I actually use this?", she ponders, and she begins to charge up a shot with them as she gives chase to the Devil Gundam.

With Filia having dealt with the multitude of heads, her gaze shifts to the now massively damaged Devil Gundam. Domon's cries did not go unnoticed, a solemn look developing on the demoness's face. Watching as GW!Thor reels up his attack toward the Devil!Gundam, Filia grasps her blade with both hands.

Waiting for the precise moment just before GW!Thor's hammer made an impact, she appears on the opposing side of the thunder god and slams her blade with equal force to his. This does subject her to the shockwave effect of Thor's hit, prompting her to be briefly blindsided by the power of the thunder god. His hulking strength knocks the wind out of her briefly, prompting her to nearly lose control of her blade. With a fierce roar, she powers through it, taking a deep breath and bringing her blade slamming back into the Devil!Gundam with incredible power.

Trees and foliage are torn apart for as long as the eye could see by the force, even tearing into the ground creating a very long crater across the ground of the region. Although with her expert application of the blow, and some magical business Thor would be left entirely unaffected. Looking around to the rest of the fighters, she too ponders the question oh who exactly was planning on saving Master Asia.

Her pondering can wait though, as she is fully focused on completely decimating this machine monstrosity.

Shinji's calm state is interrupted by master Asia's appearance and Domons panic.

EVA 01 runs back to the Hub, briefly, before saying over comms "Kasshu-Sensei, I'm sorry... I... I didn't know there was a pilot... I'm going back to get a different weapon, I'll be back soon!"

EVA 01 runs over to a massive building which slides up from the ground, revealing a Positron Cannon With a miniature fusion reactor powering it. Usually, this would take all of japan's power grid to fire once. But this one is self sufficient.

EVA 01 grabs the Gun which is essentially a BFG, even for it.

"Consider it done. And, uh, sorry about the roof. The dude just loves his dramatic entrances, I guess."

Rising from her seat, Nicole spreads her wings and takes off through the newly-formed hole in the base. Once outside, she flies towards the battlefield in time to witness the Devil Gundam.

"Holy shit... I'm starting to see why it's called the Devil Gundam now. Friggin' thing looks like it could've been spat right outta hell itself."

She pulls Olympus' Wrath free from its sheathe, flourishes it, then notices just who was imprisoned in the cockpit.

"Hang on... I thought the pilot was supposed to be a woman. Either I'm going blind here, or that's the uber-strong old dude they've got wrapped up in there."

Shaking her head, she soars towards the Devil Gundam and fires a potent burst of lightning from her Zeus-forged sword at the hellish mecha's head.


Thor begins rapidly spinning Mjolnir once again to blow away the cloud of spores. Once the opportunity presents itself, he unleashes a lightning blast at Magnolia with Stormbringer before the PK Flash hits him. He staggers back a few steps.

"..What in the Nine Realms is this sorcery?" he says, feeling more than a little strange.

Right as Giegue succeeds in fully healing Ninten, the lightning blast hits its mark. The now healed Ninten quickly acts, trying to heal the Sovereign's status with PSI Healing.

The computer shudders and smokes.

"... Well, it's not like you've beaten me or anything. All you've done is bust up this shell a little."

The computer falls apart.

"Now, prepare to see for yourself, the true power of all that belongs to plants! Roots! Vines! Leaves! And your demise!"

"Gee, so much for friendship.", Ninten says, still sounding somewhat weak from his coughing.

Master Magnolia is now wide open. Yet it feels like this battle isn't over just yet.

Do you wanna have a bud time?

Master Magnolia doesn't waste a single second, scatting Magic Mushroom spores yet again. This time Giegue gets hit, but instead of getting infected he begins to cry. Ninten quickly casts a powerful PSI Heal on both Giegue and Thor in an attempt to heal them, then casts PSI Quicken on himself.

"The faster I am, the more I can support."

Using PSI this much so quickly does do a number on his mental energy though. He has to be careful, if he gets statused he might not be able to gather enough energy to heal anyone anymore.

Master Magnolia then scatters Armful sprouts, all of which immediately turn into small flowers... with buff arm-like stems portruding out from the top of each one. A total of six Armfuls appear.

The Armfuls all try to reach out to the group, some attacking with double punches while others try to rip and tear into them.

Lastly, Master Magnolia flashes a menacing smile. Those who see it and get affected by it will be stunned for one turn, making them sitting ducks for the Armfuls.

Thranix didn't take Narktus's lack of a response too personally — after all, he barely knew him. Omega shook himself out of his haze, and rushed up to join the other topside — only to, somewhat to his chagrin, end up getting carried by Thranix as he flew out.

"Dunno how you'll fair against something this big, bone-man — but I hope for your sake that you have some trick up your sleeve."

"Trust me, so do I. Good luck, Thranix."

The Black Dragonborn nodded, and, with an arcane noise, arsenal-swapped his gear to the hyper-agressive Carnifex armor, its matching twinblades, and a set of close-quarters brawling gear layered with the flashpoint slime from the Raging Brachydios that he had fought so long ago. It seemed that Thranix was going full in on the "kill it until it dies" strategy. Twirling the twinblades into reverse grip, he leapt at the base of the Devil Gundam's body, intending to stab it and leave the flashpoint slime there before kicking himself away as it proceeded to explode!

Omega, meanwhile, started charging up his armor. He had no idea how much of this stuff he'd need, but he had to at least try.

Megan, likewise, dropped out of hyper-mode. The revelation that the real Devil Gundam was elsewhere was downright spine-chilling to her. She might have been able to see through this sooner, if she had just used her second sight... but she hadn't. Why would she have?

"WHY IS NOTHING EVER SIMPLE?!"

That moment is what dropped her out — the knowledge that it was Master Asia trapped in the Devil Gundam just left an additional sting. There wouldn't be enough time for her to set up the Realmsplitter, and she wasn't sure that her machine's damaged legs would be able to take it. She was running out of good options, and fast — so she decided to go with something simply, but potentially very stupid. Namely, charging ahead and sacrificing her machine's legs for some kind of spin-kick directly to the... abdomen? that connected the torso of the devil gundam to its second, larger head.

Rho raised a hand to where his chin would have been. Most troubling...

"Waveguard, to me — I may be in need of a lift. Gunstar, Ravager, pursue that Gundam!"

The summons acted according, with the Waveguard depositing the now-transformed Rho closer to the battlefield proper, and the other two simply acting of their own accord. The titan-shapes of the Waveguard and Ravager had been reduced by about one-quarter of their total size so far. It seemed that this buff was of the "powerful, but action-limited" sort.

The Ravager went for a simple, hefty, clawed slam, and the Gunstar spent its turn acquiring a more accurate lock on the Devil Gundam.

Schwarz Bruder leaps out of the base and summons his Shadow Gundam, rushing right in with a flurry of explosive darts.

Well, one thing's for certain, the Devil Gundam certainly wasn't expecting reinforcements.

ELEGY OF THE VICTORIOUS (勝利者達の挽歌)

It unleashes a bestial roar as the final push overwhelms it and Thor and Filia's combined strike splits its upper body from its base, leaving it a burnt-out husk of a machine. For real this time. Its eye-lights fade out and turn off, and the Gundam Heads still present collapse, inert.

The cables are severed, and Master Asia falls out of the exposed cockpit, caught by Pepsiman. He's already awake again, though he seems weak, and his breathing is ragged.

"Master!" Domon ejects from Burning Gundam and rushes to his side.

Master Asia opens one eye. "I am... fine, Domon. I will be alright."

"Master, you're..."

"Domon..." He gives a sad smile. "Have you never understood me? I never stay down for long."

Domon sighs, shaking his head, and turns to Nicole. "The Devil Gundam needs a woman to achieve its full power, but it can still function with a man as its pilot. We've stopped it, but I would recommend keeping your distance. Nobody touch it, not even to try and destroy it."

"Master, please explain. How did you end up forced into the role of the Devil Gundam's pilot?"

"Can't you give me a minute to catch my breath first?" Master Asia chuckles weakly.


The Sovereign is forced to retreat and protect herself, using a dome-shaped field of 'fuck you die' that obliterates anything passing through it rather than simply stopping things from hitting her, while she works off her status.

Thor is caught in Fillia's strike as well, and is nonplussed to see her manage to fight past a shockwave from a potent strike of is. Damn ice witch! Just you wait!

AH! IF YOU STRUGGLE SO MUCH WITH THE MERE WIND OF MY STRIKES, THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A EASY VICTORY IF WE HAD FOUGHT IN THE BUNKER! AND SPEAKING OF WIND!

Thor makes a dumb smile and break wind, staring at Filia with a content look. Once done, he pat himself in the stomach and laugh.

HAR HAR HAR!

Thor then lower himself back to Domon and others and look at the abomination, pondering and wisely scratching his beard of raw power. But first...

HAIL! MASTER ASIA! YOUR PROWESSES AS A WARRIOR HAVE REACHED EVEN THOSE EARS OF MINE! REST ALAS, WHILE WE DESTROY THE DEVIL MACHINERY... He says, smiling to the old master. He then look up at the thing and once more scratch his beard.

OR PERHAPS I SHALL PUT THIS IN MY FATHER'S VAULT! IT IS NARY VISITED BY MAIDENS AND IT WILL BE A GOOD TROPHY! Thor hesitates, fixating his hammer and bare hand.

Megan stood up out of the mangled body of her gundam, and lit up some kind... alchemical pipe? When did she even start using that? Thranix looked up at her with a furrowed brow, and Omega... continued to charge up, just in case. for clarification and in case I forgot to say before, he is wearing that golden Azakun armor. No way he'd come to even a potential fight like this without it.

"I know this is inefficient, but making smokable versions of potions just feels right. Good for recovery — this one's a stamina mix! And it smells a hell of a lot better to boot."

True to her word, it had a pleasant, herbal scent, and an invigorating effect on those who were nearby.

"Huh... Might have to try one of those sometime."

"My shop's in Seliana, stop by and I'll hook you up. Anyways, good to know you're still with us, Master Asia."

Aside from that it, it seemed like she had brought along her now-balanced axe, her revolver gun, the grappler, her Biomagma Cannon, and a smattering of potions — Crystal Dragon Transformation, Lightning Step Infusion, Mega Stomherald Grease, Celestial Healing Elixir, Celestial Mana Elixir. She must have been quite busy preparing this particular batch!

Rho, levitated over, and simply stood silent, watching over the Gundam. His summons did likewise, as the Elsyian Gunstar maintained a lock on the broken wreck.

Filia drops from her levitated state to the ground, assuming it was all now over. She looks around wildly for a moment, before her eyes landed on GW!Thor. With a not-pleased look on her face she stares right at him and slams her blade into the ground.

   "And yet I threw myself into its way on purpose to assist you in the complete obliteration of the machine. Your taunt is entirely unfounded, if I hadn't wanted to get hit by it, or had I simply prepared to get hit by it, it would've had no such effect. But yes, celebrate your apparent victory with crude gestures, bumbling fool."   

She looks around for a few moments once Thor heads to Master Asia, hoping to spy who she was looking for. Oh, there he is. Lookin right at SI!Omega, she gives him a slightly awkward smile before appearing right next to him, blade in tow within her hand.

   "I had a job to do, I hope you understand my hostility. Though it appears now it's over. And you should think about what I told you, involving yourself in these affairs does you no good."   

Swinging her sword over her shoulder she looks at the armor he is wearing, a brief wave of nostalgia running over her. Placing her hand on his left shoulder, she develops a light smirk.

   "I see you've brought along my father's armor, it suits you. Tell me, does his chilly aura remain or did I effectively remove the byproduct of his constant usage of it?"

"Huh... guess the others must've really softened it up."

Nicole touches down near Domon and Master Asia in time to listen to the former's explanation. She holds Olympus' Wrath to her side.

"Then it sounds like we all dodged one helluva bullet," she replies. "Don't worry, I wasn't planning on touching that thing with a ten-foot pole."

Her gaze flickers to Master Asia.

"Hi, I'm Nicole. You're Domon's teacher, right? Considering how much ass he's kicked and all the times he's gotten me out of a tight spot, I think it's safe to say you did a damn fine job training him."


Thor is thankfully healed of the PK Flash's effects. He offers Ninten a grateful smile, then shifts his attention back to the fight.

"Let's bring this madness to a close!"

He meets one of the Armful's punches head-on with a mighty swing of Mjolnir before slashing at the others with his axe.

Versus Devil Gundam

EVA 01 returns to the battlefield, at a relative sniper distance for an EVA, Going prone as they ready the positron rifle,energy within it building up. This weapon has enough power to pierce an AT field on its own, but, once again, requires energy equivalent to the entirety of tokyo's power grid to fire. This one's upgraded with gundam-era technology, but it will still take time to charge up a shot.

Shinji Then realizes the job's already done.

Shinji calls out over comms "Kasshu-Sensei, Is it... Is it over? Is everyone alright?" His hand begin to shake as he holds the grips in EVA-01's plug control area, as he processes the emotional rollercoaster he just went through.

That dome results in the deaths of three Armfuls, while Thor's swing and slashes dispose of the other three. At least they're not annoyingly difficult to beat.

Before Giegue can attack, Master Magnolia suddenly unleashes a leaf torrent that's capable of cutting through steel, aiming at all opponents. They move too fast to be deflected by wind.

Giegue gets struck and dealt some decent damage.

Ninten casts a new Power Shield on himself. The Power Shield reflects the leaves that strike him, cutting into Master Magnolia instead.

Giegue's attack was inexplicable!

Bolts of lightning rain down onto Master Magnolia from above. However, to Giegue's shock, they don't seem to be all that effective. But the damned thing at least isn't immune to them.

Master Magnolia spawns 6 new Armfuls, though they don't immediately attack this round.


The Meta Knights land near Domon and Master Asia as well. While they don't say anything, not wanting to intrude since Domon has been Master Asia's student for much longer than he has, they still look visibly worried, a rare look to see on Meta Knight's face.

"Wait, don't destroy it?", Pandora asks as she nears the others and hears them. With a sigh, she disperses her charged shot.

"So much for trying that out. At least it's beaten."

The Sovereign keeps her death barrier up for this round, protecting her until she finally manages to stop crying.

"Hoo..."


"Yeah!" Ruby fist-bumps Boyfriend.

"I'm Ruby. Boyfriend helped me out of a tough spot... emotionally. Plus his big sister is an ally of mine, so we're chill."

Oh shit. Boyfriend was serious about Miku being a secret agent of some kind.


Master Asia's Story

"It's over," replies Schwarz. Not who Shinji asked, but he's a fellow pilot, so it's cool.

"For now."

... Okay less cool.

"Give it a rest already," Domon says to Filia and Thor. "You're both very strong, do you need to make it a contest?"

Beat

"Oh, who am I kidding, of course you do."

Master Asia nods to Nicole. Upon receiving the magical fruit, his vitality is restored, and he rises to his feet before yelling. "GATHER ROUND! And I will tell you what happened."

Some Time Ago...

Master Asia roamed the Arena in his Master Gundam when he saw a Death Army trooper roaming about.

"So, the Devil Gundam is here. HRAH!"

He ripped the enemy mecha's head off with his Master Cloth, at which point the machine proceeded to explode.

Immediately, however, he was surrounded by many more. He destroyed them all, but then he was swarmed by Gundam Heads. Then he destroyed those.

Then, the Devil Gundam landed before him. It was mutated into a hellish, bestial form - into its true form. This could only mean it had claimed a woman as its pilot. However, when he looked again, the entire Devil Gundam seemed to be... sagging. Exhausted, even.

Ripping its chest open, he forced his way inside and found that its core was a haggard-looking, disheveled young woman - a slave girl from Caesar's Legion. He concluded that she was so weak, the Devil Gundam could not truly be powerful with her life force, even though it enabled its true form.

He tore her out by force, destroyed the DG Cells infesting her body and sent her on her way with directions to civilization. This shut down the Devil Gundam, but just as he turned to leave, its cables sprang forth and speared through the back of the Master Gundam, dragging Master Asia out to replace the girl. Despite his age, he was an accomplished martial artist, and had plenty of energy to give...

It Reawakens

The story concluded, they turn to the torn-off upper half of the Devil Gundam...

And then its eye-lights turn back on.

Unkillable (強震)

"Why won't this freak ever take a hint!?" Domon leaps back into Burning Gundam, and Master Asia summons forth his Master Gundam to join him.

After a moment, though... the eye-lights turn off again.

Samus walks up to the Devil Gundam's husk, raising her Annihilator Beam, charging it up with clear intent to double-tap.

Surge of Evil Intent (悪意の波動)

Before she can fire, though, the cables spring forth and wrap around the barrel of her cannon. "Oh shit."

She pulls her arm and fires uncharged Annihilator Beam shots at the husk, blasting away more and more of it, but she can't quite blow the cables away. More wrap around her right arm, going further up it until she can no longer aim, then in a swift motion she gets yanked inside, and the DG Cells promptly regenerate the cockpit around her. For a few seconds, they can still hear her struggling.

Samus fires wildly. She claws away at the cables, ripping them apart, but more and more of them keep coming. She keeps fighting, until suddenly, one of the cables impales her in the chest like an EMMI spike, smashing right through her armor. She immediately blacks out as DG Cells flood into her bloodstream, assimilating her into the Devil's mass...

Devil Incarnate

The sounds of struggling stop. The eyelights are back on.

In half a second, the Devil Gundam has regrown the arm Gwain took off, and reattached to the rest of its mass. It's warping in shape, becoming something... else. Something otherworldly.

And then its cables shoot under the ground and start absorbing the Gravitas command outpost, disassembling it bit-by-bit and sucking the metal and other materials into the Devil Gundam's mass.

It grows to the size of a moon. Then wings grow out of the absorbed material, spreading out gloriously in macabre mimicry of the angelic form.

But of course, what they're looking at is no angel.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/colony_devil_gundam.png

It's the devil.

Ascension

With a flap of its wings, Colony Devil Gundam separates from the ground, flying into low orbit. Cables large enough to crush the entire battlefield and kill everyone instantly descend from it, sucking up the Arena below for even more mass. It's like the Cyber Angel Fortress and the Culmination it became simultaneously...

The combatants can feel the cables eating them, breaking apart their bodies molecule by molecule. There is nothing they can do to stop this process, causing them immense pain... until there's a flash of light, and all of the cables explode.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/narktus_full_picture.png

"Fine," says Narktus. "My turn."

Enormous Ambition (巨大化する野望)

Narktus gathers light and heat into his fist, then punches the ground, sending himself and everyone around him hurtling up into the sky to meet the Colony Devil Gundam, so high that gravity no longer affects them and they float freely through the air.

Colony Devil Gundam's faceplates open up to reveal a malevolent, organic-looking maw as it roars at its foes.

Thor scratch his ears, seeing fit not to interrupt a fellow epic manly man's story.

IT REAWAKEN

WAIT WOMAN! To O L Ate. Samus is absorbed, Thor grunts and pick up his hammer, wondering why the woman didn't listen to him, or at least bother helping him out with the "blast it until its gone" bit from a safe distance. When the beast forms though, he's not worried, and instead smile widely, looking content when it turns to the size of a moon.

I have split planets asunder! What good will becoming the size of a moon do to you?! Thor then get caught by the tentacles. Badass requirement, his scream combines pain and rage, as he valiantly struggle forth against the tentacles. Still, he does looks like he'll be overwhelmed, eventually. Still doesn't prevent him from looking malcontent when Narktus shows up.

BAH!

Thor is sent flying like the others, but he does eventually decide to fly of his own power. He's pissed at the whole "almost dying" thing. So pissed that he dispense with the banter and instead hurl his hammer at the Devil Gundam's face, intending to shut it up that way. It'll bounce off it if it hit, but not because it'll be necessarily too weak! Instead, it flies back in his hands as Thor becomes lightning, and he dart ahead of the group with a terrifying burst of speed, bouncing back and forth like an actual bolt.

FUCK YOU! Thor says defiantly, before swinging Mjolnir in a upward angle to try to uppercut the Gundam. Aaarrghhh, manly!

...

Hael will be lead to Whitebeard and Roger's ship. They've got wheels on them now!

Ah Hael! Come quickly! We'll charge through them to save the rest!

Sengoku meanwhile, more than resist Enzo. Beerus's combined sins are too "much" to overcome, and he himself is an accomplished fighter. He instead tries to break the being's arms with his own pairs, and then attempts to flick him away with an hakified finger.

But before he can do that, Roger and Whitebeard show up on their rolling ships, combining their powers together to quickly tear a line through the Marines and probably save the group. Boosted by a Whitebeard quake, the two crews speed off into the horizon.

Angered, the Marines turns to face the gods, determined to make them pay dearly for that

By the way, I am not a child.

Master Asia's Story

The 4 explorers and the couple heard attently the story of Master Asia.

Super Pamp says after that: So, if that machine absorbs a woman with huge power, that thing would be unstoppable...

He looks worried at her wife. I think we must go before that turns ugly.

It reawakens

The group watches how the eye lightened up.

Be prepared.

...but it stopped. And Samus got close.

NO! SAMUS!!!

...too late. Samus got caught. Not even the supers' powers were enough to stop it.

Devil incarnate

The group watches how that thing becomes bigger, stronger, and uglier.

And Maxi, seeing that creepy scene, said: That could be a nice logo for our guild!

The ascension

The wires caught every combatant! It could be the end of our heroes...?

...Not yet.

Thank you, Narktus!

Everybody, even the golem, got thrown into the space to fight with the true Devil Gundam.

Hey, Mr. Drinks. If you want to give us those cans, this is the moment.

Master Asia's Story

Meta Knight, after turning back into one, stands near Domon and Master Asia. Pandora lands near them, keeping her distance a little more.

It Reawakens

"I see. So it took advantage of you having turned your back to it.", Meta Knight says as he turns to look at it. Pandora remains quiet, not really sure what she can or should say. She still feels like an outsider who was brought here for some extra firepower, and thus she doesn't know if her opinion is even wanted.

But then its eyes go back on and she immediately looks alarmed.

"Agh! I shouldn't have stopped charging!", she growls as she begins over again. Meta Knight gets in a battle pose... and then its eyes go off again.

"... a fake-out?", Meta Knight mutters, though he isn't fully convinced. Pandora just looks confused though.

"What's up with this piece of ju-"

And then it grabs Samus. Thinking fast, Pandora charges up her shot and fires. However, it wouldn't matter, because this untrained, unfocused shot wouldn't be nearly fast or strong enough to matter.

Meta Knight flies forward immediately, slashing at the cockpit once it closes around Samus. But that too wouldn't make a difference. It's too late.

Devil Incarnate

Pandora backs up when the Devil Gundam regenerates and changes forms. This thing doesn't just remind her of the Culmination anymore, it basically is one, and even bigger too. The only difference is that it doesn't have the Staff of Navitus powering it, but considering what she's been told about the Devil Gundam and how powerful it can be... does it really matter that it doesn't?

Even Meta Knight looks like he doesn't know if it's even possible to defeat this enemy, stance guarded and eyes wider than usual.

Ascension

Pandora and Meta Knight get trapped in the cables. Pandora simply changes her arms into blades to slash her underside off to free herself, but she gets caught again before she can even regenerate.

While Meta Knight keeps struggling, Pandora quickly loses hope.

"... I guess... this is karma after all...", she mutters, sounding defeated, almost solemnly accepting of this fate.

But then Narktus intervenes and frees them. Pandora turns to look at him, recognizing him as one of the front fighters, and one of the few who could defend against the Staff's attacks. But before she can speak up, she and Meta Knight are blasted upwards. Once weightless, Meta Knight quickly adapts and begins charging up energy within Galaxia.

"I don't know if we can beat this... but I am a warrior, and I will fight until the end!"

Pandora, still needing a moment to get her bearings, looks around.

"W-what's happening!?"

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

Max shoves a cheeseburger in her mouth discreetly (not), get done chewing it, clean her hands and walk up to Ruby. She thinks her clothing's a bit odd but hey she's not judging!

Hey Weiss's best friend! I'm Max! She already told you my name so what I said is redundant, but huh let's be friends too!

She salute and then offer her hand for an handshake. Then awkwardly goes for a hug mid-handshake. Then, once done, she stand there awkwardly.

... Good weather! Max pulls out a can of iced tea and prepares to drink it, but then hand it to Ruby and pull out another to drink.

Master Asia's Story

Pepsi Man listens well to the lament of Master Asia, hoping to learn something from his words. Alas, all he learns is that this guy is really cool.

"To be honest, I've got no idea what's going on, but lets just all be glad... that nothing went horribly wrong!"

It reawakens

As Samus is assimilated by the Devil Gundam, Pepsiman attempts to use his Moonlight Pepsi to assist her, but he is simply too late on the draw- and too unwilling to strike decisively for risk of hurting her. It's a terrible balance, especially considering that if anyone could have stopped what happened next...

No use lamenting, though. If that was the Devil Gundam with an improper pilot, then...

Devil Incarnate

Pepsi Man stares up in astonishment at the absurdly titanic form of the Devil Gundam as it towers above everyone. He, briefly, considers plan C, but is so struck by intimidation that he cannot bring himself to do anything but watch. The striking figure of this monster... what could stop something like that? All the Pepsi in the world would pale in comparison to such a foul machine!

Pepsi Man swallows his fear- as well as a delicious Pepsi- and steels himself for a fight- even if there is no chance in hell he can do a thing to this... Devil.

Ascension

...As Pepsi Man rises into the air, he knows what he must do.

Calling upon the power of the people of his world, he prays for the strength brought by shameless corporate branding, by the unholy essence of capitalism itself. It mingles within him, turning from a senseless darkness into a wonderful light, and he calls upon it in his hands. The moonlight Pepsi fills with this essence- the essence of a world grateful for his presence, of the happiness brought by every can of Pepsi in existence, and transforms into the most powerful can of Pepsi ever created- Pepsi Super Max Ultra Berry Fruit Mint Moonlight Explosion NEO!

A cascade of positive energy shrouds Pepsi Man- the speed of every Pepsi truck and delivery man, woman, and maybe slightly underpaid child! The strength of every calorie in every Pepsi ever sold multiplied many times over! The durability of every can of aluminum soda and several dubiously acquired Soviet military vessels!

When the light fades, Pepsi Man looks only like himself- there are no visible changes, though the moonlight Pepsi is still Pepsi Super Max Ultra Berry Fruit Mint Moonlight Explosion Neo- but the truth is, the power was within him all along. Because for every grateful smile, ever day made, every late night fueled by ill-advised caffeine intake, all of the ice cold, refreshing drinks of Pepsi™ and Pepsi™ adjacent products- Pepsi Man was there to guide along the way- in spirit, not literally, that would be weird.

And, as the bringer of Pepsi himself, Pepsi Man gives affirmative nods to his allies, handing each of them a can of Pepsi Max- the most powerful form of Pepsi he can give out in good conscience, each capable of boosting its user's strength by a considerable margin. He does so at super-speed, rivaling even the mightiest of speedsters, channeling the true power of Pepsi delivery.

And to punctuate it all, he turns to the camera and gives a thumbs up. The Pepsi logo appears behind him, and he holds up a can of regular Pepsi. Try a cold and refreshing Pepsi™ today.

Yatta!
