Stained Mizutsune looks like it wanted to follow up on Kratos but the other fighters fortunately step in. Artemis' slashes on its back make it stumble and in turn it ends up avoiding Kado's opening attack by rolling. It leaps back and howls, two fakes appearing at its side.

It dances around the fighters with them, though instead of trying to blend in with them, it sends the fakes first to kamikaze attack Kado and Artemis while the real deal leaps up and tries to crash down on Raoh, claw first.

Damn he's kind of a looker. Focus Nitori.

"We'll I'm ready." She says, hopping into her mecha. "Just gimme the signal and I'll have Nessie moving."

Lear is providing commentary!

"Hm. That Swellow would have been an incredible even at its current move level on a larger team, but its techniques aren't doing much for it here. I suppose that's the bias inherent in the first round being 'singles only' - Strikers and Techs are mostly going to dominate."


M2R1

An incredibly modulated poker face, only giving off a hint of emotion... or is even that what he only wants to be seen?!

Actually it's that Katre is very scary and this is a lot of pressure and Trainer has frozen up. Luckily, his face is so frozen so quickly that he only seems about as he was earlier instead of as having a full-on choice-paralysis dissociation episode.


M1R1

"...!"

You know that thing where Ash would just kind of say bullshit commands that make no sense in terms of what the moves he says do or how battles work and then they just kind of work out anyways because it's a live battle with physics and not pure game mechanics.
Red just copied that and he said 'dodge them with Dragon Dance' and that mafuggin charigon sure did dance around those dragons with the Claws just barely grazing him.

Both teams are at 6/9 Sync.

Red's Charizard having dodged that attack, Lillie is sort of at a loss as to what to do. Her strategic mind is not refined enough to make a plan on the spot in an instant, so while she tries to think of what to do next, her Charizard goes in for what looks to be another X of dragon claws...

Only, at the last second, for her to instead back off just a hair hopefully while Red's Charizard is dodging an attack that never came, charging in for a full-force Flare Blitz!

Lillie is a bit stunned at her own Pokemon's ingenuity, but keeps on thinking up some kind of plan anyways. It can't hurt.

Beneath the mask does Kado’s eyes fall shut

His mind reaches out into the Force, and he opens them with a new understanding of the illusive Mizutsune’s versus the real deal. Stomping the ground, he sends a hail of rocks towards the fake approaching him before lunging forwards Lightsaber-first in a corkscrew motion at the flesh-and-blood Stained monster.

Arena Sea

Scorpion glares at Sub-Zero, brimming hatred burning in his eyes.

   "Bi-Han…"    He snarls, taking a step towards who he believes is his sworn enemy before stopping and glancing about him. Too many people, and there were bigger fish to fry.    After…    Begrudgingly sheathing his blade, Scorpion stomped away and onto the mechanical nessie.

The Terrarian, meanwhile, simply walked into the sea.

With great power…you know the rest.

Charizard's speed allows it to brace itself for the Flare Blitz, but the feint still goes off with nary a hitch. It gets blown away - not a huge distance, no, but enough to be surprised.

"!"

Charizard huffs, small flames streaming from its nostrils, before it dives and swoops up with its own pair of Dragon Claws!

Pog

Lillie's Charizard charges in too, stopping Red's Charizard's double dragon claw with one of her own, locking claws with the other Charizard in a contest of pure strength!

Which was. A really, really bad idea.

No contest, Red's Charizard overpowers Lillie's and sends the poor sap right to the arena floor, just as Lillie comes up with her master plan.

Too little, too later. Lillie was not wrong, saying her Charizard has a poor constitution. The poor sap gives out right there and then, soundly defeated by the superior power of Red's own Charizard.

...Or, is that really true?

Yeah, turns out, "poor constitution" doesn't translate to "low HP" in this particular case. Lillie's Charizard is tired, struggling to stand, but she does stand, and at that very moment: Lillie has a terrible plan:tm:

"Up high! Last of your strength, use Aerial Ace!"

Lillie's Charizard does as she is told, soaring high up into the air with tremendous speed!

Then, from above, she descends, seemingly going in for another Aerial Ace...

But, as Red may be able to tell from the pose that Lillie suddenly takes, that's not the plan at all! Z-power flows from Lillie to Charizard as she uses her Sync Move- allowing Charizard to suddenly pick up speed for a Supersonic Skystrike!

There's not much room for confusion in her actions, but Lillie hopes that little bit of obfuscation will buy her enough time to guarantee this super-fast attack hits, even despite Red's Charizard having such notable evasiveness!

Regardless of if it hits, Charizard will slam into the ground hard enough to smash a huge crater into the arena, potentially with the other Charizard right beneath her!

Then, she will leap out of the crater, and either observe the damage done or, otherwise, look to see what effect this has had on the other Charizard.

Having a fist ran through his torso would never bother Sukuna. And had Viche intervened a second later, he'd have simply smiled before triggering his Malevolent Shrine.

But yet, as he has to focus on Mahogara to see if it can dispatch the beam attack -and it does-, he loses his concentration. And, with it, the build-up to Malevolent Shrine. He briefly looks surprised then angered as the damage from the fight finally catch up to him. Weary bones and muscles flare up within him, inundating his body with wracking pain as his every cell catch on fire.

It's the worst sensation of the world. Like if someone replaced his skin with knives or made his eyes melt into acid spreading towards the rest of his powerless body.

He only very briefly exhale sharply. And attempts to use the last of his strength to sever Viche's arm, somewhat praying that he uses God Ki too. If not, if he simply uses regular Ki, it'll be a worrying cut but not anything major. And either way, an arm will be the only casualty from the fight on Viche's side if so, fixable by way of off-screen magic.

But regardless of it, Sukuna steps forwards in a burst of vitality. Mahoraga fading, Malevolent Shrine ruined, his own body a mass of charred flesh and broken bones barely held together by sheer will, and he can only smile, annoyance and irritation nonetheless seeping through his defiant grin as he turns around to stare right at Viche...

   I... never forget a face.   

... And plunge into the sea below nigh-instantly, wincing as his body lock up. Is he really diving in such a state?

When his attack clearly did not kill Sukuna, Viche briefly regrets all of his life choices. However, when Sukuna's sudden attack hits him, he's shocked to find that it only did minimal damage to his arm, just making a small cut.

"... huh. Whatever you're doing to Courne, it doesn't seem to work on me.", he says, a sinister grin slowly forming on his face.

Due to this realization, he's no longer as scared as he otherwise would have been, and prepares to atta-

Cue Sukuna diving down into the ocean. Hopefully for Sukuna, he didn't dive towards the hole in the ocean floor that Courne made earlier.

"H-hey!", Viche calls out, launching some blasts downwards, but it's doubtful that they'll actually hit.

"Shit."

He looks back at Great Ape Blue Courne, who's gasping in exhaustion now.

"... ugh."

Viche dispels the fake moon sphere, which causes Courne to shrink back to his usual state. All of his exhaustion and damage seems to hit him at once because he faints the moment he's back to normal. He starts falling down, though Viche catches him by one of his legs.

"Alright... you saved me, now I saved you. We are even!", he says as he starts flying off with the older Saiyan.

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

Arena Sea

Haru lets out a small sigh before grinning and waving back at Zenitsu. He cracks his knuckles before his form begins to shift.

"Right! Mimicry! Mechanimism!"

He calls forth two EGOs- (he doesn't need to call them. He's just a Large Ham sometimes.) -his form twisting and growing into a mix of blood-red flesh, which is quickly covered by sleek, grey metal. In the end, his human face can be seen at the top of a larger mass of what looks like a construct.

Said construct is actually quite small, reaching maybe 10 feet in height, and taking the form of a heavily-armored knight- but with a giant (and I do mean giant, this thing is the size of the construct) -hammer and 'nail', which is large enough to be a sword compared to the construct.

This, and pretty much exactly this.

Haru grins from atop this armor- before his face is enclosed in a helmet and he sprouts the same flesh-wings from earlier- this time larger and with metallic feathers. The irony of this isn't lost on him- the identity of a group that hates prosthetics being used with a being that can meld metal and flesh so easily. He hovers just above the ground, hammer held on his shoulder and the nail at his side.

"Now THIS is what I've been working on perfecting."

Haru's voice echoes from within the helmet.

...

"-so we're fighting a demon, huh? Reminds me of something... but this is a lot more direct than a mental voice."

Reprium

Hunter!Artemis uses her daggers as a whiplash at the decoy- before grabbing a small bone horn- too small to be a hunting horn, but it'll work -and lets loose a triumphant call, providing her allies with a boost, both in morale and in actual stats- a short-lived bout of strength and resilience.

Altzaira looks at the one who called them... and lets out a heavy, hissing breath. The bloodwyrm that she saw last time was an infected, sickly being. But the dragon she sees before her eyes now... something feels very different about him.

The way he holds himself. The hardened scales on his wings, bearing the scars of many battles. A weighty tail to crack through the toughest hides and bones. Even before ever having seen him fight... the eye of a hardened warrior knows a kindred spirit when she sees one. She points her halberd at Malzeno.

"Your ancient enemy is as good as destroyed. But once that battle is over... you are mine, winged knight of silver," she dramatically says with an excitement that Zenitsu has never heard out of the normally stoic Dragon Lord. She probably means she wants to fight him. Probably.

Following this proclamation, Altzaira shifts into her true form and sets off towards the distant crater.

Redzard, being a Charizard's charizard, takes to the ground, standing tall and letting Lilizard catch their breath.

.. oh dear

silly lilly, Sync Moves have a base 0 accuracy - which means they're Sure Hit like Aerial Ace. As such, he has no choice but to TAKE IT, crossing his arms the bear the brunt of the damage-

KRAKOOM

...

When the dust clears, there is indeed a crater, and Charizard is indeed at the bottom of it. But he stands... well, not tall, he's been forced to take a knee and a claw, and is huffing smoke. But he withstood the Sync without being K Od.

It's not looking good.

But she may have one last trick up her sleeve.

"... Alright. I'm ready," Narktus says. "Let's do this."


Katre grimaces as she realizes what's up with Trainer. She sends out Slimy and... waits.

"Do you... have a Pokémon to battle with?"


Sub-Zero is taken aback by Scorpion's snarl, but quickly deduces the two do not come from the same point in time. He's been through the events of 11, after all—or at least some of them. "I am Kuai Liang. Bi-Han is nothing more than a hateful specter now."

Barely fazed by Altzaira's proclamation and subsequent charge, Malzeno just groans before declaring, "Go forth!"

As Nessie 'swims' out toward the crater, Miraidon jets alongside it, and Sub-Zero surfs on a continuous stretch of ice, a single ginormous reptilian arm with gaps in it like vents rises out and grips the edge of the waterfall. Then another. Then it shows its head, a pointy snout with a wide throat and twisted caprine horns, and soon after pulls the rest of itself up.

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

Its eyes let off a flaming red light. Malzeno seems taken aback; that part is not normal. Regardless, with a growl, he retakes his dragon form and flies off the vessel, overtaking Altzaira to tackle the Archdemon of the Abyss directly. It roars and swats him away, but he slides right back in, stabs his wings into its chest, then spins around and slams his tail into its face, sending it skidding back. As it clings to the ledge, it lets out a hateful howl, revealing it has a five-segmented mouth that makes the shape of a demented flower—or a pentagram—when it opens, and a glowing blue barbed tongue. It shoots a wave of energy from its maw, but Malzeno swiftly dodges and swats it back down into the crater.

The primordial dragon lord lands on a rocky ledge overlooking the crater, where he waits for the others to catch up, all while Gaismagorm keeps roaring. It's not speaking any language, yet the meaning of its voice is inexplicably comprehensible.

   MALZENO   

   I SEE YOU   

   I HATE YOU   

   I WILL DESTROY YOU   

   YOU AND ALL THE WEAKLINGS YOU BROUGHT   

   THEY CANNOT SAVE YOU   

   THEY WILL WATCH   

   AS I TURN YOU
IN
SIDE
OUT
  

   HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE.   

Nessie pulls up to the edge of the crater, where Malzeno addresses the others. "It is definitely not the same as it was long ago... Regardless, make the plunge whenever you are ready."

Gaismagorm climbs partway back up, clawing through rocks and ruins as energy glows through its body. Its flaming eyes blaze brighter with its hate. It sweeps through the rubble in a furious tantrum.

The voice of malice echoes, twisted by further power.
"The end has come."
From the depths, it howls: "You will not escape me!"
Having engorged itself on blessed souls.
Its rampant assault on this world has just begun.

Vengeful Demon God - MAJIN GAISMAGORM (Archdemon of the Abyss - DuplEx Deathstep Remix)

Inosuke brazenly runs and jumps off the ledge, shortly followed by Miraidon and Baiken. They land down below, where Majin Gaismagorm waits. The Demon God, now clad in an armor of glowing-red crystals along its limbs and back, sucks up all the Qurio remaining in the area, then bellows with a call that shakes the ground and deafens the listener.

"Can it, ya big ugly freak!" Inosuke leaps at Majin Gaismagorm and brings his twin swords down, only for them to tink off its crystalline guard, making him reel back and land on his ass from the recoil. Gaismagorm then just looks at the boar-masked man and an explosion materializes on him, blowing him away.

Seeing this, Baiken and Miraidon keep their distance, the latter firing a long-ranged Dragon Pulse at the monster's unprotected head. Gaismagorm responds with a massive energy wave from its maw, which Miraidon deftly jumps away from, but the blast could've easily engulfed it.

Zenitsu stays up above, watching the battle begin with worry. Sub-Zero also remains up top, to get a read on Majin Gaismagorm's abilities before he blindly jumps into battle with it.

Gaismagorm Fight

Haru takes flight with a yell... before hovering just above the giant demon. He exhales, and his right eye starts to shine a brilliant red.

"Demon, meet demon! For we are the ones who shall cut you down!"

He lets out a loud, mechanical screech, comparable in volume to Gaismagorm's roar. A sort of taunt. He raises his hammer and nail in a ready stance before charging forth... and hurling that nail at a break in the crystalline armor and swinging his hammer at it, aiming to drive it in. He then quickly tries to fly back up out of reach... his eye glows a brighter red as his left arm can be heard creaking and shifting. Those who know it...

Mimicry: Scythe- 0/3

"I'll rend you apart. Cast from the bodies of many and forced into one..."

Multi-line incantation... does he need it? No. Does he want to? Yes.

Majin Whuu?

Instead of rushing in, Nitori waits at the crater edge at first to watch the other maniacs charge in first. Only after that does she make a move, aiming the palms of what can generously be called hands of her new mecha.

Rather than high pressure water like usual, it's instead a beam of red energy as she blasts Gaismagorm with Dragon Element.

The magicians float alongside Miraidon towards the crater. However, Gaismagorm makes himself known, and they look ready to fight as Malzeno prevents it from reaching them. The beast now waiting at the edge of the crater and Malzeno telling them to be ready, the two waste no time in approaching what is about to be the battlefield.

Staying airborne for now, the Magician of Black Chaos immediately goes on the attack, spinning his scepter before swinging it down to send a sphere of dark magical energy towards Gaismagorm.

Dark Magician sticks back for now, using his magic to summon the Magic Formula, using it to increase his own power by 700. He's learned from last time and is intent to be as prepared as possible.

"So this is our foe... What a disgusting, filthy creature. It feels like it does not belong in this world... It almost reminds me of my brother." Altzaira muses as she sees Gaismagorm emerge from its crater. "Still, its strength is undeniable. This is a force to be reckoned with!"

When Gaismagorm begins roaring its hatred at Malzeno, Altzaira replies with a shriek of her own, which from the dragon tongue roughly translates to    "SHUT YOUR OVERSIZED MOUTH AND GIVE ME A GOOD FIGHT"   .

From high in the sky, she executes her signature Pendulum Guillotine, a roll into a deadly decapitating vertical slash from her bladed tail. However, this time, she morphs into her human form midway through her fall, although her tail - now morphed into her giant halberd - remains on a collision course with Gaismagorm's neck. The air around her explodes as she shatters the sound barrier. Despite Altzaira's smaller form, this attack is still powerful enough to cleave a small gorge through the crater if the demon manages to dodge and it impacts the ground.

Tournament of Power Stage

"You will have an instant. Feel the integrity of the world, and you will know when it is. Until that moment arrives, you may take any path you wish. Speak to her, even, to get close. It matters not what you do, only that the results are as I have said."

Icarus snaps their fingers again.

"May we never meet again."

And they, as well as their companions, are gone.

Except for one.


Her world.

Angel's world.


V102 stays behind, just for a moment, smiling wide as she approaches Narktus.

"I've been told to lend you this. Have fun with- hurgh!"

And, putting her hands on her knees, V102's jaw unhinges as she spits up a tablet of marble covered in pitch-black goop that instantly kills anything it touches. As a gesture of "kindness," she changes that property of instant-death, making the goop harmless, if a little Very Gross.

V102 stays there, breathlessly hacking up disturbingly chunky portions of liquid shadow, continuing to stand there bent forwards for a few moments after, as one might post-vomit to ensure nothing else comes out.

Once that... gross display, is done, V102 hands the tablet to Narktus- or just leaves it on the floor with a raised eyebrow if he's too uncomfortable to handle it directly- before turning around, waving him goodbye, and vanishing as well. The black goops does disappear pretty quickly, so at least it doesn't stay covered in vomit.

Upon that tablet is a long set of information that, if read with the proper credentials in multiversal travel, would indeed lead Narktus directly to Angel's world, and thus, to Angel herself.

Okay so the dig alone could have totally have beat Charizard there, so the rest was really just unnecessary.

Maybe not. I mean, Lillie did have a pretty good plan, but it did not anticipate Mega Charizard Jumpscare as a part of this plan, and so, her Charizard gets KO'd just like that.

A bit of an anticlimax considering Red's Charizard didn't get to show off very much, but really...

As clever as Lillie can be, and as determined as her Charizard was, this battle was much more likely to end with Red as the victor than it ever was her. Maybe it wasn't impossible, and she deserves mad respect for trying, but this was a bit one-sided.

Nothing wrong with that. It just shows how much Lillie, and her Charizard, believe in themselves, and eachother. And really, doesn't that make them winners in the end?

...OK I wouldn't go that far, but they'll learn from this!

"Holy Fauci!" The Terrarian shouts as he falls out of the waterfall and hits the ground below, laying eyes upon this mighty beast. The man is quick to action, drawing a comically cartoonish spherical bomb from…somewhere and lobbing it at the Gaismagorm.

   "Foul demon,"    Scorpion glared at the Elder Dragon below, drawing his blade with a swift shing! The man did not yet attack as well though only just barely managed to supress the overwhelming urge to shove Sub-Zero over the edge and see how he fared, distrusting of the man’s words for now and believing them to be nothing but lies.

With great power…you know the rest.

RAINMAKER'S PALACE

   Well, they're smart enough for a sneak attack, I'll grant them that.    His body fully restored by RCT, Sukuna stands up and stretch his arms and back, standing within the depths of Rainmaker's domain. Without the Arena, his ruined body's much easier to fix. And his pride isn't too badly hurt.

   A stupid choice. I did not grant you this body so you could fool around,    Rainmaker says, voice hoarse as he stands nearby. His glowing blue eyes are an hint that he's there but Sukuna can't see him.    Neither Courne or Viche are blessed by fate. They aren't targets to endanger.   

   They came for me. And they'll be returning probably, still thinking I killed their master.    Sukuna shrugs.    It's alright though. I got a pin on them. And... from what I can tell, shouldn't you be much stronger than either of them anyway?    The king of curses scratch the back of his head, frowning slightly as he glances at the sun and stars above.    You can just up and kill them if they bother you. Where's all that fury you had earlier ?   

   Collaterals are fine. Willful murder of innocents is not,    Rainmaker precise, prompting Sukuna to roll his eyes.    Besides, I understand they're part of a group. If they die too, the others will investigate and so forth. My power, grandiose as it is, is matched or surpassed more than I'd like to admit. Thus, even if the moral aspect is beneath your concerns, at least be... pragmatic in how you act.   

Sukuna raises an eyebrow, feeling like he's being talked down to and not liking it very much. But he considers his position and Rainmaker's power and end up settling with a smirk.    Because you think that outing with their masters was "pragmatic"? That whole rant about fate and letting off loose ends to talk about you? You act bound when you shouldn't. You're a... man    Sukuna scoffs audibly, wanting Rainmaker to hear that path.    On a mission to kill fate and die afterwards. You're running headlong into a wall anyway. Why not pick up the pace?   

Rainmaker's upper right eye twitch and he leans forward before stopping and, after a short pause, sliding back into the darkness.   There's a difference between dying a dog's death swarmed by opportunists and fools and reaching one's goal, Sukuna. But perhaps the idea of a "goal" is too alien to one such as you, who wasted his life satisfying his petty desires! So shut up! I don't want to hear from you! Get out!    Rainmaker eventually snaps, after his tone went back and forth between his usual growl and a higher-pitched freakout.

Sukuna smiles in amusement.    My "goal"... was to do what I wanted and kill whoever I didn't like. It worked and I ended my first life happy. Can you say th same for any of your lives, Rainmaker?    He turns around, understanding he was kind of close to being mauled, and walk out with his hands in his pocket. As he leaves back to Skyrim, he can hear Rainmaer scream in anger behind him, the sounds muffled by the cosmic sea.

Hyrule Town

Bugs

The harpies carrying Mukade’s friends were too slow to avoid her jabs, being eradicated in moments as her friends were dropped—she’d do well to catch them before they hit the ground.

Mt. Gustaf Peak

   "Is that your Chaos Giant-Titan?"    Demanded Zhal as he pointed towards the giant woman in the midst of Hyrule, glaring back at Malagor.

   "It is not."    Responded the Dark Omen, leaning in closer as though to get a better look at something that was an immeasurable distance away.

   "Then why is it here?!"   

   "Simmer down, rat. Have patience—the same patience I’m displaying right now by not beating you into a bloody white pulp."    With the Grey Seer silenced, Malagor turned to the cliff edge and spread his arms wide. He began chanting words in a primal tongue, the winds whipping around him. At last he shouted the climax of this prayer and a green energy exploded from his body, traveling into the sky.

SAVAGE DOMINION!

…And from the sky dropped a big ol’ fucking ape that looked as though it had just crawled from the king kong abortion bin. Flaring around it was a green aura, its eyes glowing this green hue as did Malagor’s in the distance.

The Rajang roared and hollered as it descended towards Mukade, nearly half her size. Electricity crackled in its mouth and as it passed her, it shot three different orbs of lightning.

——

Murasa & Raex

Hearing the whistling of Murasa’s mighty steel anchor grow nearer and near, the Bestigor looked to face it and only barely managed to deflect the massive weapon with a grunt of exertion and a swing of its blade—though this did leave a very noticeable crack in its side.

This deflection, of course, meant he wasn’t in any way privy of the blade that ripped through the ten foot monstrosity’s torso.

Howling in pain, the Bestigor was wrenched from its mount that proceeded to snort and cry out as it fled the scene. Holding its guts in and using the machete in its hands as support, the Beastmen stood on death’s door but still limped towards Raex.

"Alash sur…" It murmured, lifting its weapon in an very telegraphed move. “Akash…tarrh.” The blade came down slowly—weakly.

——

Azura

One Minotaur stands, one Minotaur falls.

The archer is caught offguard by the wrecking ball and is knocked from its hooves, toppling over onto its side. The other, meanwhile, simply blows the gory wrecking ball above it into pieces with a swing of a flail. The elf’s ensuing magical arrow brings about the absolute decimation of the archer minotaur as the other continues charging ahead, its wrecking ball already destroy. The towering Beastman rears its arm up and swings it downwards at Azura as it passes, aiming to hit her in the torso with the massive spiked flail, brimming with flame. What’s more, the Baron of Hell at last joins in on the attack—aiming to grapple the mage from behind and suplex her into the cobblestone street.

The rats only continue to break through the wall, each one getting closer and closer to the battle at hand.

——

Melia

Melia was quick to heal the physical injuries, but in those brief few moments of terror were formed upon many guards scars that simply could not be healed, scars that ran deeper than skin and flesh and ripped apart their psyches as tearing oneself’s own flesh would do to the average-minded.

Some are dead and some are alive, and others are some sort of wretched in-between. Those few guardsmen either unaffected by the blight or well-tempered in the minds are quick to begin their work, escorting crying and panicked civilians into the tunnels that run beneath Hyrule Castle. Others weep over corpses or simply stare ahead, in a catatonic state as the world falls apart around them.

On Melia’s shoulder, a hand falls.

Behind her is Father Pacci, eyes pale and glazed but even without vision he finds his way. With dried blood on his chin he turns away, entering a bout of coughing where more crimson falls from his lips, the poison seemingly too deep within his system to have been drawn out by Melia’s initial efforts. Still, he glances back at her and musters up a pained smile.

   "Thank you."   

——

Soulstealer

The Rat approaches Soulstealer, maintaining eye contact all the while. The first of three beams is a direct hit—sending the Skaven tumbling backwards and into the dirt.

But once more does he rise.

The second very nearly catches him as he strafes to the side, feet kicking up soil and pushing him only barely faster than the beam can track him.

He’s arrived at the Soulstealer Xeno’Jiiva by the time of the third and final beam. As the Elder Dragon opens its maw to spit forth raw energy, the Rat leaps into the air, rears back his now-glowing spear, and chucks it into the agape maw of the beast where it will meet the building energy with a fierce explosion.

Gaismagorm

After their scales showed them the way, Mega-Paco flied away, and Bely morphed into a mermaid and seam away.

A timeskip later

Mega-Paco and Bely arrived to the battlefield, where 60's!Pancho Pantera, Silvano, Ulala, Blippi, Maxi and Lulú were waiting.

Ulala tells Blippi: Since this is our last mission together, let's give up all we have.

Her partner and friend nods.

After Gaismagorm appeared on the cliff, the first one to fly towards it is Mega-Paco, who shoots himself as a meteorite to Thunder-Punch it on the head.


Rats, bugs and monkeys, oh my!

Mukade lets her friends slide on herself as if were a schoolyard slide.

Suddenly, the Rajang appeared, firing lightning bolts from its mouth. Mukade tanks the bolts, that leave her moving more slowly, and then she swings her tail to try to swat the monkey away.


Tournament

Swellow tanks the attack, and if still lives, without much else to do, Donalú orders him to use Tailwind again, followed for the usual Aerial Ace flurry.

...

Great! I'm looking forward to fight with you.

Mariana turns her look to the arena.

What do you think about the fight between Swellow and the cricket? I'm following them closely...

She doesn't knows about Pokémon beyond Galar

Rats.

Melia nods solemnly, hearing the words of the priest. She is still leaning against her staff, still struggling to stand straight, knowing what she has to do, but without the strength.

High Entia need ether for their bodies to function correctly. Without it, they experience what is known as ether deficiency. In excess, it can cause fainting. Prolonged, it can cause death.

She is at no risk of dying of ether deficiency. But, if she were to fall unconscious, even for a second...

"I am sorry. I could not save them all."

Melia sinks to her knees, still clutching her staff, still keeping the gas away, but the radius is decreasing and the winds growing slower, the extent of her influence decreasing as she drains herself of the last of her ether in her body.

She looks ahead, at the few civilians and soldiers able to escape, and shouts for the broken, for the shell-shocked and still, to run as well. She does not run. She hasn't the strength for it left anyways.

Soon, the wind is only just enough to surround herself and Pacci behind her- and it, too, is quickly diminishing.

Then, her grip falters, and her staff clatters to the floor. Even then, she tries, pulling on her heart while holding her breath to try and reach within herself for something, anything more. The Sword of Origin appears in her hands, but it feels wretched.

She takes one last glance at father Pacci, and hopes he understands.

...And begins to make her way towards the tunnels, one step at a time, using her sleeve as a makeshift mask to protect her from gas while she struggles not to breathe for as long as she possibly can. With her other arm, she uses her staff- having ditched the Sword of Origin- hobbling forwards in an effort that looks futile at best.

Step. Step. Step. The pressure in her lungs builds with every second that passes, her lungs rebelling in pain against her very last-ditch effort. It occurs to Melia that she could have moved to the tunnels while she still had some strength left. Maybe then, she wouldn't be here, about to choke on her own breath.

The thought turns to ash as pain overtakes it.

It is inevitable at this point. Although it is somewhat diminished due to Melia's own efforts, she has to take a breath. And it is a breath that stings like almost nothing else she's ever felt.

Already exhausted, Melia collapses from the pain of it, from her body shutting down on multiple fronts at once. It is not the worst she's ever felt, somehow.

She can't control the rate of her breathing anymore, inhaling poison like it's a lifeline and not a death-sentence. Somehow, she stops herself from dying messy, from tearing at her own skin, from thrashing and choking and falling apart. Instead, she holds herself up by the palms of her hands, and cries.

They are not tears of grief or regret. They are of pain, pain and the sorrow of leaving.

She isn't afraid of dying, certain now that she will. All she can think of is the people- her friends, her people... and Nia. All those people she'll be leaving behind. All the people that she has given herself to, who will be without her now.

She hopes that they will find a way,

That her life was not a dream, and that the world will keep on turning without her.

Melia hopes, and is hope. She cannot stop herself from hoping even now. She does not hope that she will make it out of this, but she hopes that someone else may- and that they might tell the story of how she helped them in that effort. And then, maybe, her friends will smile again, knowing that she did something good in the very last thing that she had ever done.

That would be more than enough.

Finally, the ether deficiency kicks in. Her body is no longer able to support itself, and she falls unconscious against the cold stone-brick floor.

If she is not moved within the minute, she'll be dead by the end of it.

And either way, she won't wake up again. Not without serious help.

Yatta!
