No Assassin Base
N shrugs, visibly, despite being made of nothing but darkness.
"It doesn't change anything. We are Moebius, an organization dedicated to the cause of eternity. What we wish for... is to never change, and to create a world that never ends. Some of us just have different ideas as to what that means, and what it will take to get there."
She chuckles.
"Some of us seem to believe that Live Legna, the creator of Moebius, is the key. The rest, we just do whatever the hell we want. It is we who embody this very world, after all."
N seems to look up, though the location of her face is unclear.
"That satisfy your curiosity?"
Yatta!megaman positions himself behind Space Ex-Boyfriend, taking advantage of the fact that this guy is doing the brunt work of combat and deflecting shit.
"aw yeah let's go buzz lightyear kick it"
He starts to hit the griddy. This is a bardic spell with kinetic components that applies a +2 bonus to allied fighters' speed.
NORH
Subaru inspects the cage with her expert (not) eye.
"We could probably rip that cage thing right up. I don't know what that... force field is, though... Anyone know how to turn that off?"
MIKE IS DEAD
Haha Rumble and Mega Pacman are stuck in the ground. Unfortunately, Gedor is not exactly nimble, so she's a little stuck too.
"UH"
then she gets set on fire
"OW EGANOGEGHAKEHGHEKAGM<EGM Ne GNMGNMEMGNNGME"
She rolls off the others by performing the Roll in 'Stop, Drop, and Roll', freeing them from her ELEPHANT STANK but also idk getting rolled on might hurt. Also she rolls towards Apothea, and I don't imagine getting bulldozed by an elephant barrel that is also on fire would be nice.
/\。。/\Nohr Rescue Mission (CRITICAL)
Jeridan wants to save Xander, but it seems like King Garon has taken the fight right to the group. The young man prepared to dodge the massive body slam, but thankfully the crown prince has saved him the need to do that. Having grown a little bit used to anticipating time skips, The World was able to at least block the attempt at a donut before engaging the red Stand while Jeridan observed the situation.
The honorary agent almost cried in relief when Se'arah popped out of the Orb with a warp panel, prior to turning back to defending himself against King Crimson. The young man waited for Leo to cast the spell at Garon before crying out the Stand's name.
"THE WORLD!"
The golden Stand spread its arms and assumed its signature pose as it grinded the gears of time to a halt, while Jeridan paused in place to avoid moving. Since this is the one that DIO possessed, he has exactly 9 seconds of movement to make sure people escape, and he will have to ensure the royals' escape first and foremost as much as he wants to save everyone.
The first thing he does is to do a split-second punch to King Crimson's head as a way to stun Iago, before grabbing Ms. Thingie and tossing her into the warp panel.
"One second has passed." The World, using DIO's voice, reminded Jeridan of the time he has remaining.
Without wasting even a split second, he approached Camilla, Elise, and this world's Corrin with one small leap, before grabbing them and tossing them at the warp panel as well.
"Four seconds have passed."
His next course of action is to approach and grab Leo while The World closed Brynhildr and shoved it into Leo's coat as Jeridan tossed him at Blue Panel B, sending them away.
"Six seconds have passed."
Finally, the honorary agent leapt over to Xander and grabbed him with The World, with the Stand quickly putting Siegfried back into its sheath and throwing it at the panel along with Xander.
Using this last bit of precious time, Jeridan decided to escape and ran for his life and managed to reach the Blue Panel just before the time stop runs out.
"Time will now resume..."
My Castle
Jeridan crashed forward after all the royals barreled through the warp exit and into the My Castle, with the young man breathing heavily as he clutched as his chest. The only reason DIO was able to stop time for so long is because of his vampire body allowing him to handle more stress, something that the honorary agent does not have. Typically, borrowing an ability will give him the basic requirements, but having a vampire body is not a requirement.
The young man tried his best to stand up and stay strong, only to feel his knees buckle as he feels like his own ribs are digging into his heart, with each beat refreshing the pain and making it a nightmare to endure. Jeridan groaned in agony as he laid on the grassy ground, attempting to just let time sort out this intense pain. The World just looked down at its summoner, appearing rather unconcerned as it is dismissed for the moment.

For some reason that causes Hub's eyes to narrow just the tiniest bit. There's suddenly a disturbing hollowness to his eyes, as if his insanity is visibly shining through.
"... yes." , he says with a lower, creepier tone. None of his usual sass or amusement can be found in it.
"I will warn you and your allies once. Do not let this happen again. Now leave."

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Hub keeps his eyes narrowed. Then, once Moebius N is gone, the rubble of what was once the base begins to move.
Out comes Mara, her body... back together again? How odd, her regeneration hasn't ever shown itself to be this fast. Most of her clothes are still tattered though.
"So?"
"He told me some basic stuff. I'll tell you in a bit. It's important to keep in mind." , Hub says.
"Did you also follow the intended procedures when-"
"Yes, my clones got all of our stuff out of the base before you blew it to hell." , Hub says, rolling his eyes.
"Good." , Mara says, dusting off what remains of her cool cloak. "I don't want to regather the body parts I already got for my future child."
"Maybe it would have been a blessing if it had been destroyed and you'd given up on it." , Hub grins. "A blessing for the child, to be exact."
"Stop your snarking. Be sure to inform the boss about this too. The rest doesn't have to know. We'll tell them Pseudo's organization found it and we had to activate the self destruct."
"Sure." , Hub shrugs. "By the way... since when can your shadow move on its own? You never mentioned anything like that to me before."
Mara looks at Hub and approaches him. Once she's near him, she simply puts her hand on his helmeted head.
"Because I don't have such powers."
"Then what-"
"You'll learn in due time. You'll have to make due with that answer."
"And if I don't?" , Hub asks, eyes narrowed again. Mara leans in close.
"Then I'm leaving. Permanently."
There's a tense silence between the two for a moment. But eventually Hub glances to the side, looking annoyed.
"Whatever. As long as it's beneficial to our plans."
Mara smiles, though it's a dangerous one. Still, all she does is (somewhat harshly) pat Hub on his back.
"Smart little brat. You know when to stop asking questions. Now let's head to the nearest base. I'll cloak us."
The two start walking, the clones now teleporting away.
"Well, all things considered, that was pretty a pretty fun way to wake up." , Mara smiles.
"Getting assaulted by some random guy out to kill us?"
"Exactly! Reminds me of the good old days. At least it was exciting, unlike most of the days I've spent here so far. ... ugh, I really hope we can move on to the fun part of this plan soon."

Nitori finally arrives in her mech
◊, landing near Mr Morbius Dragon.
"Okay what's going on here? Your little leech things made me follow them here." Nitori says through the speakers. Her mech's monoeye sensor looks at the weird guy accusing her valued customer of being evil. "Well he has helped berserk animals by removing those things in the past so I'm willing to vouch for him."
I'm running out of Elephant jokes
Rumia gets turned into a goomba, metaphorically. She feels quite a bit of pain from that yeah.
Enough that an angered looking EX Rumia bursts out of the Rumia shaped hole DBS Broly style. She snarls and launches at Gedor but instead of crashing into her, stops at near point blank to fire a big darkness beam blast from her chest which should fucking hurt a lot more than any of normal Rumia's attacks.
Rito Village
Meanwhile in a different part of Hyrule,
Scarlet Marisa is humming to herself as she explores the ghost town. Nobody's around so she has the run of the place, mostly curious to see if anything valuable got left behind or for any funky plants or fungi to use in her experiments.
"Ho hum, a whole new region pops up and of course it's empty." Marisa sighs, kicking a wooden stool.

"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."Nicole balls her hands into tight fists, clenching them hard enough to make her knuckles go white. Now she was almost certain Gor had at least something to do with this whole mess. Who else would not only cause time to skip at random and make a screeching cartoon pizza mascot appear out of nowhere, but have the power to make such things a reality?
She wanted to snap, to let the thread holding her patience for all this insanity finally break and rail at Gor for everything, even if they weren't listening or would have her dumped straight into a black hole for badmouthing them. Instead, she decides to just make Peppino stop his caterwauling.
"You're in another world 'cause someone or something dumped you here," she says curtly. "You happy? Now quit screaming or you're gonna make my friggin' eardrums explode."
Ben curses under his breath. He should have known that a single lightsaber through the skull wouldn't have been enough to slay one of Laxin's hulking Sithspawn. He leaps from Nergigante's head and lands upon the field once more, then glances in his only fellow Jedi's direction.
"I hope you're enjoying the show!" he calls out, making no effort to disguise the sarcasm in his voice. "Thank you so much for valiantly staying right where you are! Such heroic actions might earn you a seat on the Council!"
Having given vent to some of his frustration, Ben shifts his attention back to Nergigante.
"This would be far easier if the others were here to actually help, unlike some people. Or if I actually had a kriffing ship. Who am I kidding? The monster's right, it's impossible for me to defeat it alone. Unless..."
No. No, he swore he wouldn't succumb to the dark side again. Not after the incident at the comms tower. But doing so had allowed him to overcome Tenzen and nearly kill Nergigante, hadn't it? Certainly, his friends would understand and forgive him for drawing on its power one final time out of necessity. Right?
As he struggles with whether or not to once again take that pathway to abilities some considered to be unnatural, Ben raises his lightsaber in a fighting stance and makes a beckoning motion with his free hand.

Garon
Tired and unable to act anymore, Ms. Thingies got threwn by Jeridan into...
My Castle
Am I dreaming? Compared to the castle of before, this is so lush!
Could somebody help me to stand up? My legs doesn't answer me...
...
Weapons!
So, those are the weapons we were searching for? Cool!
Indeed.
Cardboard suggests: I think we need to take each one a weapon and take them back, no?
Gedor
Mega-Paco got roll squashed by Gedor, and dies.
...
But, thanks to an Ankh cross he got back in a mission (I don't remember when, but it was with Moon Knight), he revived!
After the cross dissappeared from his inventory, Mega-Paco flies upwards, and then attacks again with a diving electric drill punch.
Pantheon
Ms. Grey got swept by the plasma tail, a big cloud of dust concealing her...
This is so familiar...

Lulú extends her arm to order Maxi and the other two to stop shooting.
Maxi answers Mr. FOOL: So, what do we do?
What could we do to help you?
Pica-Verse
I'm Tere-Tere, owner of this home.
And I'm Carolina, new friend.
Hatch clears his throat: "Two years ago, Nacho, Emi and Belén, the Pica-Pica trio, dissappeared from their world and arrived into this... "Arena", as some of you know this world."
"Shortly after they arrived, I met them, and they joined our team, with the hopes to some day find how they can get back to their world."
Emi and Nacho interrupt him:
Yeah, I almost forgot about it!
But you can open portals to other worlds, such as Clarilú's!
"Indeed. But your world, somehow was... Difficult to reach. But I finally found the way to do it!"
Hatch draws a hash in the air, and a portal opens, leading to a colorful world.
Nacho, Emi, Carolina and Tere-Tere shout with awe... But Belén don't.
But... We have already made a life here. We've met friends, made good deeds... My son... Are we already ready to leave all?
The meeting is silent.
"...Well, if you want to return, you can always give me an interdimensional phone call! You three, step in front of the portal."
Nacho and Emi stands in front.
I... rather not doing it right now. What if something goes wrong with the portal, and my son...
"No need to worry. Whenever you are ready, you can call me too."
He addresses the other assistants: "Some parting words to your friends?"

Three freaking ghosts!Rito Village
A humanoid shape on fluffy white wings descends towards Scarlet Marisa. Her voice is quite a familiar one, and she's talking to someone who isn't there.
"I've tracked Cirno and Saki to this dimension, but I don't think I found the right location. Let me know if you..."
She notices Marisa. Locking eyes with the witch is none other than another Reimu Hakurei, this one's most striking feature being her angelic wings. Besides that, one hand is pressed against the back of her ear, the other carrying a long staff made of some kind of futuristic magitek.
"Find... a... specific... place. Okay-until-then-i-gotta-go-buh-bye" She quickly finishes her conversation and lowers her hand, then descends to meet Marisa.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Marisa is in the middle of thinking of just kicking the door of a house down when she hears a familiar voice. She turns around and indeed locks eyes with Reimer.
"...Huh. Yo! Sup Reimu!" Marisa says, greeting her with a trademark Kirisame smile. "Or another Reimu at least."
Being Marisa she notices the magitek first and whistles appreciatively.
"Nice gear you got." she says. She's smiling but something feels a bit off about her vibes.
Edited by shroobot3000 on Jun 12th 2023 at 2:44:11 PM
"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."Reimu lands on a deck and doesn't say anything to Marisa. Her own vibes are... otherworldly. Though it's a bit more obvious that's the case, given the wings.
As she looks Marisa up and down, her eyes glimmer, yet they also narrow. She cycles through confusion, revulsion, horror, disgust, and sadness...
Until she finally closes her eyes and, with a sharp "Gyah!", smacks Red Marisa across the face with the head of her staff.
Almost immediately after that, she moves to catch Marisa and hold her steady. "Sorry! Sorry..."
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."CRITICAL HIT
Marisa stumbles back but thankfully Reimu catches her before she eats shit.
"Ow... Been a while since I got gohei slapped." Marisa said, sounding both nostalgic and whiny at once as she recovers. "So uh are you like this with all Marisas or am I special?"
"Nice wings by the way. Marisa observes. "Though I'm a bit surprised they let you up there. Then again Tenshi got in so..."
"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."Angel Reimu sighs. "It's a long story, but for starters, I'm not dead, idiot. I ascended after the Hakurei god -"
She quickly glances aside. "- whose name I still don't know - saw fit to grant me this status to keep up with everything else going on in my world. Gensokyo is in a bit of an arms race incited by... Cirno, of all people. The whole thing is a huge mess, an incident with permanent consequences. Gensokyo will never be back to how it was before."
"I've been worrying about my Marisa ever since it started," she continues, tapping her Laser Staff against her palm.
"Afraid that she'd try to keep up by becoming a youkai, and lose her humanity not just physically but mentally and spiritually. She invested into technology instead, which is where... this comes from," she says, gesturing with the staff, "but still."
"I know you're not my Marisa because I was literally just talking to her, but I saw you and knew you were a youkai Marisa, and I... lost my cool. Sorry."
Altina and the #FE crew watch and listen to Hatch's talk with the Pica-Pica.
As it comes to the matter of the portal, Altina smiles. "I only knew you for a short while, but I still wish you the best. Ashera's blessing be upon you."
"Yeah, stay safe," Itsuki says, and the others nod.
Edited by KiriK on Jun 12th 2023 at 7:07:57 AM
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""Damn, that's crazy." Marisa says, whistling. "Cirno of all people huh? I've been to quite a few alternate Gensokyos but Cirno being the one to make everything different is a first."
She then winces at the Youkai bit.
"Yeah... it's a long story." Marisa sighs. "It was unintentional in my defense. Made the mistake of making a bargain for power. Got uncontrollable magic for about 1000 years and also lost my humanity and my Reimu got kidnapped to another universe which I haven't found yet."
"Buuut it's not all bad I guess. I outlived my dad for one. So he can suck on that." Marisa says, huffing as she kicks at the ground. "I still have Kourin and my youkai friends so that's nice."
"Oh and Yukari said she'd give me a free pass on the whole rule thing since it's not like anybody in the village even remembers me being a human." Marisa says. Then after a beat she speaks up again. "Also isn't her name pronounced Cirno?"

"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."Morph Moth - Hyrule Field
All Morph Moth could do is groan at her own stupidity. Why didn't the dragon say so in the first place?
Blast Hornet and Commander Yammark - Pantheon
Both Reploids are scorched by the plasma burst. Commander Yammark smirks, "Morph Moth got lucky today. She ain't gotta deal with fire like we do."
Blast Hornet groans, "Exasperated sigh:Enough shenanigans. Important orders:Keep your guard up."
Betty attempts to sting Proteus Ridley real hard, hoping to get her grubs into his body. If successful, the grubs attempt to shut down Ridley's motor system to a crawl.
And as a backup plan, Commander Yammark orders her drones to form a shield in case things were to backfire somehow.
Angel Reimu listens with a dour, downcast look, until Marisa gets into name pronunciation.
"I'm surprised you remember her well enough to think you're right about that," Angel Reimu snarks. "As someone who's had to deal with her nearly every week, I'm pretty confident it's Cirno."
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""Oh yeah?" Marisa says with a challenging tone. "Well I uh..."
Marisa thought for a moment then pulled out a weird whistle and blew on it. After a moment, a door opened on her back and none other than Okina Matara peeked out.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Hey, how do you say that ice fairy's name?" Marisa asked. Okina raised an eyebrow.
"Cirno, why?" Okina said. "I'd never forget a fairy with that kind of potential to break the glass ceiling as it were."
"Hah! A God's opinion ranks higher than a divine emissary's." Marisa said, smiling smugly. Okina looked amused by the childish argument.
"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."Angel Reimu balls her fists. "Well... I... I beat Okina when I was mortal, so she can't overrule me!"
Definition of a logical fallacy but go off I guess.
As they continue to bicker like an old married couple, Strongest Cirno arrives, hands on her hips like one of the couple's parents.
"You!"
"I may not be the sharpest bulb in the crayon drawer, but this is sad. I know I'm [churno], but maybe the other me just is [chiruno]. I know one other me isn't even a Cirno, she goes by Ko'ori."
"... Oh."
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""Oh." Marisa said.
"Ahaha! How amusing." Okina says, chuckling at their expense. "You know I could have told you that if you had phrased your question differently."
"S-shut up." Marisa grumbles as Okina disappears back into the backdoor. "Oh and hi [churno]."
Beat.
"Wait how did Cirno start this massive arms race you mentioned?" Marisa says, incredulous. "No offense Cirno."
Edited by shroobot3000 on Jun 12th 2023 at 4:18:06 PM
"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person.""... I started an arms race?"
Angel Reimu facepalms. "Baka..."
"Well I wanna hear this too, so I'll stick around." Cirno hovers over and sits down on the edge of a roofed platform, which appears to be an inn based on how there's several beds and a podium for a receptionist.
"Alright," Angeimu sighs. "To start, a while back there was an attack from an organization called Gravitas, a force made up of various people from different universes. They attacked the Human Village because apparently they're out to kill specific people in the multiverse and some of the villagers were targets. My Marisa and I stopped them with some help from Gravitas's own interdimensional enemies, BUT..." She points at Strongest Cirno.
"I saw the fight! There was this crazy red-haired dude and a blue armored guy with one eye and they just punched each other so hard they were flying all over the place! Swoosh! Wapow! Kablammo!" As she vocalizes the sounds, the Strongest Fairy punches and kicks the air.

Pucci had spent much of those ten seconds in a copy of somebody else’s head, and thusly hardly even noticed that anything odd had happened when the memories finished and he found himself in the present once more. That disc had gleaned invaluable information, things he suspected he may not have obtained otherwise.
And then pizzaman begins to scream, and Pucci realizes he cannot hear himself think with the constant noise. The priest stretched out his hand, a white arm invisible to those who didn’t share his ability materializing and attempting to swipe a disk from Peppino's back. Rather than contain his memories, however, this one would contain his power of rule of funny reality-bending. If this were successful, the disk would find itself in Pucci's hands, the man standing and holding it where Peppino would be unable to reach it. "Quiet!" He shouted, as if speaking to an insubordinate child. Word of Gor preached patience, and he was being faced with his most difficult test yet; it took every fiber of his being not to try and pummel the three foot pizzaman into the ground. "You’ll get this back when you stop acting like a insolent baby! So quit screaming!"

With great power…you know the rest.

The Hubs simply look at what transpires now once Moebius N shows up. They do not interrupt -which, given the fact that Dark Megaman.EXE is completely insane on dark data, is probably a little surprising- and as such only watch as Moebius F is denied the chance to continue fighting.
When Moebius N then starts talking to them, one Hub walks forward for conversation. He is most likely the real Hub and not one of the data clones.
"I don't suppose you'd at least be willing to tell me what you guys are about? We'd take that as an apology. I may even be able to convince Mara to leave your subordinate's world alone if you can tell us at least that."
Speaking of Mara, there seems to be no sign of her yet. But not a single one of the Hubs seems at all concerned about her state of being. They don't know that she literally let herself explode, but still... Moebius F came up out of the ground by himself, yet none of them suspect he may have gotten the better of her.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
