W846 nods at Saitama. Several times, in quick succession. He closes his mouth.
"I know. I know. I know. I don't want to win. I want. I don't know what I want. But it's going to happen now. I'm glad you're all here."
He sounds thankful. It is. Genuine.
W846 raises his hand.
"STRIKE ME. HIT ME. DESTROY ME. IF MY SKIN IS TO BE PIERCED, LET IT BE NOW!"
He shouts. The sound is. Desperate.
I am not a fan of Super Mario Bros, "Rbade". But "Small". They were watching "that". At the moment. They envisioned. This circumstance.
Do not feel pressured to match my. Charisma. You need. No words directed at me. Your stories. They will suffice.
Yatta!Goku doesn't quite get what's going on, but he attacks with Vegeta's Techniquetm!
Though he more than anyone else knows its useless, so basically he attack with a volley of weak blasts, but sneak in a blast similar to the others... but much stronger. Blue's excellent ki manipulation will allow him to do that easily, and control the blast's output to make it strong at the very last second.
His whole gambit is that his enemy with the confusing words will try to facetank it and then regret it.

Narktus simply nods to Nicole, then directs his attention fully to Megan.
"... You forgot your armor this time."
Uh-oh. (I like saying that huh?)
"... Screw it, gimme a hit." He reaches out his hand to receive the pipe.
"... You know what?"
Saitama lowers his hand.
"I'm not really feeling it. I mean, I got de-aged back to when I was actually weak enough to be hurt, and then I just got returned to my new normal right before I could have an actual battle so I accidentally killed the enemy in one punch. I'm still kinda bitter over that... so no, I'm not gonna punch you."
Wow, what?
As it turns out, the Dreamwalker's gut feeling is almost spot-on, as two figures appear before her.

"Little lost child..."
"Do not patronize her... Freyja."
The man turns to her, eyes still closed in eternal sleep. "Megan Risllyr... you have suffered much. You lost everyone to a dragon of unfathomable power... and... that dragon continued to torment you."
"The truth of the matter is, we have been watching over you for a long, long time. I am the Lady of Nightmare, queen of Dökkálfheimr, Freyja. My brother Freyr rules over Ljósálfheimr, the realm of dreams, in which we are right now. Your entire tenure in the Arena has been one long dream. Regrettably, however... We, well... er."
"We forgot to let you wake up. Your real body has died... Only the dream sustains your life. Another... in a long list of tragedies, dear Megan."
"However, we can offer you freedom. A final solution to your pain. Drink the nectar of dreams, and become an álfr. You will not have to worry about living or dying anymore - such concepts will be beneath you."
"As a ljósálfar, you will be blessed with the happiness you could not have, and be tasked with sharing that happiness to others deserving of it - children much like yourself."
"As a dökkálfar, you will receive no happiness, save for that which you gain by inflicting your own traumas upon the wicked."
In unison, they say, "No matter what you choose... you can be a hero, like you've dreamed of being."

The Fall Reincarnation apparently liked his gothic vampire suit too much to take it off, so he's just gonna keep being a Halloween alt for the rest of his time in the Arena. Okay? Okay.
He spots Willem Thefoe eating Pickle Rick and destroying the surrounding area, making a comically repulsed face.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."After bidding farewell to Samus, Nicole returns Narktus' nod, then raises an eyebrow when he accepts Megan's pipe.
"Yeah, I'm just gonna pass on that. I've never been all that crazy about smoking."
She glances at Megan and Omega.
"So, was there anything you wanted to contribute? Any words of wisdom or whatever?"
Zero Vs Zero
MMZ!Zero, seeing his counterpart rip off the robot's arm, knowing, and hating, this senseless cruelty that once lied within him, fires a super charged shot, this time, not a warning shot. "I could care less about someone being maverick now, if that's what you're saying. Labeling reploids as maverick has been used to commit genocide in my time, over something as simple as an energy crisis. Humanity didn't choose that course of action either, and even one of the humans indirectly responsible for this is actively trying to stop it. I don't care if you hate some humans, Asimov can eat my ass. What I do care is that you have your own genocidal tendencies, and that you're a cruel bastard."
Sliding back the bolt of the buster shot, Zero ejects his sabre, wielding it in hand, as he says "I'm done talking. Its time for our sabres to speak instead."
Zero moves in to attack, dashing forwards, his new synthetic muscles and lighter build granting him incredible agility, despite his lack of jet boots.
"This robot murdered innocent Reploids. He may do it out of necessity, but they are under my protection. I told him to run or die, and he chose to walk."
Awakened Zero magnetizes his own Z-Saber back to his hand. "But I doubt you care about that."
X vs. Zero (Remix) - Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite
He dashes backwards from MMZ!Zero and unleashes Genmu Zero, a towering vertical Sword Beam that will instantly kill his counterpart if it hits.
N gets back up, starting to regenerate his arm, but Awakened Zero casually offhand backhands him back to the ground.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."MMZ!Zero quickly runs over to a building and rapidly, defying all laws of physics as per usual, wall jumps up it, swapping his weaponry to a pair of tonfas which he... charges up, and strikes against the wall, sending him flying into the air.
Zero, using this momentum, Swaps back to his sabre and plunges it downwards. Oddly, despite the Z sabre formerly being an energy weapon, it seems to have some physical mass to it now, as if this strike impacts the ground below, it will actually damage it, sending rubble flying off.
Willem Thefoe arrives in front of Grima, stop very short, and raise into the air to stand in front of him... face to face!
HEHEHAHEHAHEHZHAHEH... SPAIDA MANNNN! WEEEEE MEEEEEEETTTT AGAINNNNNNNNN!!! HEHEHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
The Mutants contemplate the scene from afar, stunned at the man's eldritch power. Big Chungus joins the scene, and the Fat Mutant immediately get in front of him, protectively.
Isn't that the German actor Marlon Brando?
Thefoe suddenly performs a Nightmare Face at that and flies back into the air, as a thousand screaming souls appears around him. He raises his two hands and shoot lightning out of his fingertips, threatening to engulf the Mutants, Big Chungus and Halloween Grima in a hundred thousand electro-volt giggawatts of pure pain.
HEHEHAHEHAHEAHEHAHEAHEHE!

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterSince I'm talking to you anyways. What does Live Legna mean.
"... This is. Perturbing."
For this round, at least. Nagato flashes into the background, analyzing the properties of the others' attacks. Just observing. She does shoot Saitama a glance, though.
"... Dude."
At least you get to meet Goku, bro. That's an honor.
/\。。/\The Fall Reincarnation roars in pain as he is electrocuted, falling to one knee.
"How can you... be so powerful...?"
He slams a fist on the ground and promptly summons his true draconic form, which 1. is a lot smaller than any other Fell Dragon seen so far, and 2. is wearing an adorably unfitting pumpkin accessory on its head. It unleashes Moonstrike Breath, exhaling a plume of purple flame that carries little spooky ghosts along its current.
Awakened Zero calmly brings forth his own Z-Saber to parry MMZ!Zero as he descends, a la Sephiroth parrying Cloud's Buster Sword at the end of his boss battle.
It appears his blade, too, has a sort of physical weight to it, as the clash creates a shockwave that blows chunks off of the surrounding buildings. Awakened Zero then steps to the side and lets MMZ!Zero make impact with the ground.
N tries to rush Awakened Zero with his tail again, but Zero just catches it - again. "You're doing more harm than good." He tries to shove N's tail into MMZ!Zero's arm, which will immediately inject a nanite acid into him that melts through his artificial musculature.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Willem Thefoe chuckles confidently and fold his arms at the fire. With a fearsome glare, he begins to dispel it. Meanwhile, the lightning below hit the mutants and Big Chungus, frying the latter to a crisp but leaving the former two... lightly charred, but sufficiently intact to get up immediately.
BIG CHUNGY! NOOOOOOOOO OHOHOHOHOHOH!
Willem Thefoe laughs again, but close his eyes in doing so. The glare effect that kept the flames away is dispelled and the terrific actor screams as the flames swarm and shove him backwards. Seeing this, the thin mutant cheers.
Good work, halloween man! Here! Take this! The Mutant waves his hands over and over, and a green circle appear at the Fell Reincarnation's feet. So long as he stays there, he'll be healed pretty damn fast. Standing on the circle's outer edges heals you at a slower rate though, and it's pretty small.
BIG CHUNGY NOOO!OHOHO Ho NOOO! B... BECOME A PART OF ME! OMRMMM! The Fat Mutant unhinges his jaw like a snake and shoves Big Chungus's charred body down his throat, sobbing along the way and making a bunch of very gross noises. He hits a wall pretty soon trying to engulf all that mass, and attempts to shove it in with his hands.
ORM NOM COME TO DADDY MY LOVE RMMOM ORMN!
What are you do-FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! the thinner mutant instinctively rip out his own eyes and throw them away, as Willem Thefoe come flying right back, grinning evilly.
HEHEHAHEAHEHAHEHAHEAHHAHE... ? he stops when he sees the gross shit going down.
AARRGHHH YES BE WITH ME MELD WITH ME ARRGHHHH OUURGHHH! the fat mutant eventually choke to death, and kind of... dies. The demented actor stands there with a very awkward expression and then destroys the two bodies with a powerful eyeblast.
Then he immediately turns towards the Fell Reincarnation and uses those golden beams of his as an attack, sweeping them all over the place. The beams leaves out some huge marks into the ground, and a golden wall of fire promptly burst out of said marks, diving the battlefield into several parts.
HEHEHAHEHAHEHAHEAHEHAHEAHEHEHAE!

Zero, not really wanting to be stabbed, and his shield not doing much against melee attacks, does something... Morally questionable to the robot he's helping. "Sorry about this!"
Zero Raises his hand, Punching the tail before it can make contact, then grasping it, before... Ripping it right off, out of the other zero's grip, Wielding it for himself. "I'm sure I'm making plenty of mistakes right now, and I'll adress those when they come to pass. But for now, This is between you and me."

N yelps and recoils as MMZ!Zero rips his tail off. "No, no, I get it, totally fine, just trying to save my life and all."
Awakened Zero twirls his Z-Saber, surrounding it in fire before attacking with a Ryuuenjin uppercut. If he lands the hit and drags MMZ!Zero into the air, he will immediately follow with the Hyouretsuzan technique, a diving stab coated in ice, to spike his counterpart back to the ground. If his uppercut misses, though, he will simply fall to the ground without a follow-up.
The Fall Reincarnation wisely chooses to remain exactly where he is, hunkering in the healing field in order to withstand the eldritch actor's death rays.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH"
GOD BROLY returns and charges through the beams to try and grab Thefoe by the waist and POWER BOMB HIM OUUUUAAAAAARGH

Thefoe suddenly explodes in sheer raw power, revealing, alas, his true demonic form! Gone is the beloved actor of The Lighthouse. Instead stand... the demonic lord Alraxos!

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterFirst, is Paty's love beam. It harmlessly deflects off of W846's suit. Next, Tatiana's meteor smash. It impacts W846's head, doing absolutely nothing. Goku's usage of Vegeta's technique is, predictably, totally useless. The more powerful blast he sneaks in does. Absolutely nothing.
I simply mean. Rbade. You have no need. To break the fourth wall. To fracture your own suspension of disbelief. I am content. To speak. To myself. In fact, I would rather.
W846 lowers his gaze.
"I am invincible. That is the design Live Legna made for me. Immune to all forms of harm. But that isn't what I want. I want. I don't know what I want."
Many of the locusts that make up W846's wings depart from their formation. They begin. To swarm. Their strength is not bound by logic, nor by numbers. A single touch from any. Is enough to kill. Almost anything that exists.
Of course, that is not to say. That those present are. Not strong enough to take such strikes. They may very well be. That is for you to decide, not I.
They are not slow, either. They are persistent, and numerous, and are nearly invincible. Each is able to move. At any speed. They will accelerate. Infinitely. But not instantly.
If one is to kill its target. That target. Will instead be displaced. To after the battle has finished.
That is a gift of my courtesy. Not that it will matter, in the end.
Yatta!Saitama remains as comically invincible as ever, but that doesn't mean he's unfazed.
He thinks the locusts are mosquitoes and freaks out. "Oh shit oh shit go away you buzzy fucks!" He sweeps those around him away with a backhand.
"Stop goading him into becoming stronger, you fool!" Grima protests.
"NO!" GOD BROLY throws a big-ass ball of green death at Alraxos!
MMZ!Zero and Awakened Zero crash into the sides of buildings on opposite sides of the street. While both are recovering, N morphs one arm back into an Arm Cannon and starts building up an electrical charge before flying up and unleashing an EMP at Awakened Zero point-blank. The pulse doesn't spread far enough to reach MMZ!Zero.
Awakened Zero's eyes go empty. He drops his Z-Saber, and falls forward...
Until he plants his foot mid-fall. Eyes still blank, his body still sparking, he grits his teeth and drives his fist through N's head. "JUST DIE ALREADY!"
N, somehow still functioning, pries Zero's fist away and flies backwards on his blade-wings, slowly regenerating. "Okay..." he says in a somewhat panicked tone of voice. "I'm actually... scared right now. Please stop."
"NO!" Awakened Zero unleashes Dark Hold, freezing time itself as he rushes towards N, charging up a Buster shot.
MMZ!Zero will still be able to move in the stopped time using his own Time Stopper EX Skill. And he'd better use it if he wants to stop Awakened Zero from killing N and effectively winning.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."William arrives and looks a bit terrified from the power levels he's feeling, mainly Saitama and Goku's.
"C-Come on man h-how am I supposed to square up to those guys-"
"Don't worry about it, the blue-hair doesn't seem magical in nature so you could probably take collateral from him 'nd he baldy's got good sense of fas- OH SHIT"
He immediately starts high-tailing away from locusts after him, a glass-like short sword comes out of his palm as it begins to glow, slashing at any nearby locust.
"Should've warned me sooner!"
"Gee I wonder who decided to listen to my iNFO DUMP THAN THE ACTUAL FIGHT!"
"Please just stop talking for the remainder of this whole thing-"
"k"
realUsually, The Time Stopper EX skill would be a targeted attack, not a za waurdo, due to using no weapon energy. However, In the case of this scenario, Zero manages to reverse the effects of the EX skill, making himself Unaffected by temporal anomalies. It's bullshit, but Capcom pulled Zero back from the dead for X6, which wasn't supposed to exist, so cut me some slack.
MMX Zero suddenly begins to move in frozen time, Using his Chain rod to attempt to grapple onto his counterpart and pull them back over, yelling "I said this was between you and me."

>his suspension of disbelief and fourth wall breaks are mutually exclusive smh
"..."
Fine, I'll shut up.
Nagato creates a sort of shield around herself. It is not 'strong', per se. But it can't easily be broken. The locusts that touch it, and their force, is instantly displaced back at W864.
"Why not. Stand down."
Edited by Rbade on Nov 2nd 2021 at 10:49:00 AM
/\。。/\Whoah, called it!
Goku proceed to fly up to dodge the locust swarms, remaining ahead of them for now. He ponders on how to breach past that mighty invulnerability bestowed upon his enemy. Maybe a big-bigger blast? A Spirit Bomb would be neat, but it may take too long to charge up.
The Saiyan ultimately decide to try to deal with the Locusts horde first. He does it by creating a ki sphere on the palm of his hand, gathering his ki within but keeping it small and harmless looking. As the Locusts accelerate, Goku simply accelerate back, gaining momentum but slowly giving out inches in the pursuit. The projectile is glowing brighter than ever, by now.
Then, as the Locusts converge altogether on him, Goku uses his power of Instant Transmission to teleport to safety while leaving behind the orb. It implodes with great power, such that the beasts's near-invulnerability may find itself challenged. While the explosion isn't large enough to cover a whole ass planet, the ki gathered within gives it enough potency to kill or injure a being capable of withstanding explosions on a galactic scale.
Goku... then doesn't immediately come back, but he returns quickly enough to the battlefield with an hand shoved in his pocket.
Hm, they were fast, so I'd better keep my guard up! He says to himself, keeping his senses keen in case the swarm swings right back at him. However, he attempts to hit W846 with a clothesline blow to the neck, before releasing an point-blank black to the left side of the head with his fist. Goku then spins in the air to attempt to drive his knee into the back of the thingy's head, then attempts the same with a downward blow with his two fists, and then attempts to blast it at close-range with a Kamehameha.

Nicole gives Samus a thumbs-up.
"Anytime, ma'am. Let me know once you're feeling better, alright? Maybe I could swing by once you are."
She casts a brief glance at Megan and Omega before returning her attention to Narktus.
"Well, if you do wanna take me up on that offer, I usually stay at that out-of-place hotel in Whiterun; I'll leave something on the door in case you have trouble finding my room. Unless, of course, you'd rather just warp through time and space to wherever I might be like you did with Nik," she says, chuckling lightly.
