Letricallo

Within Reprium's Capital city, a small piece of ground begins to shudder before being blasted open from below. Out of it jumps none other than Invader Zim, carrying some kind of giant drill on his back.

   "It is I, ZIIIIIIIIIIM!"   

Beat

Beat

No interruptions or immediate danger. Zim briefly sighs in relief before returning to his usual hammy self.

   "At last I have reached the beach, so that I may find that hideous sea creature that swallowed my... my... myyyyyy..."   , he says, beginning to drone off as he looks at his surroundings. After a brief pause he grabs a communicator and screams into it.

   "GIR! You said I was following the correct route!"   

"Oops~!"

   "'Oops'!? That's it, Gir! Tortilla night is CANCELLED!"   

Zim quickly holds the communicator away from his head as robotic screeching of sadness now comes through. In response to this he just turns it off after a few seconds.

   "Great. So now I'm stuck in this place for a while."   , he says as he drops his drill and, for no reason at all, it explodes behind him.    "What's with all this... whimsical lighting? It's HORRIBLE! Where's all the red!?"   

He looks around again for a moment before he starts wandering around.

   "Perhaps I can find some gullible fools to enslave."   , he grins while putting his fingers together all super-villain style.    "Maybe I can even build a second base here. Yesss... this horrifically fairy-tale-like city will soon bow to ZIM! ... AND CHANGE ITS COLOR SCHEME! AFTER I TAKE OVER!"   

He begins to snicker evilly, but pauses when he hears something nearby. Sounds of a struggle?

   "Ooh, entertainment!"   , he giddily says before he goes to investigate.

Letricallo

In a clearing that appears to be meant for a market, a trio of beasts—dog, monkey, and pheasant—are currently fighting a strange, masked, peach-like creature with leaves for arms. It's trying to strike them down with a kanabō wrapped in thorny vines, but they easily dodge and trick it into smashing up various stalls while it gets more and more exhausted.

"Gh... Hfff..."

The creature brings its club overhead and says in a young, feminine voice, "Stay..." then punctuates its "STILL!" with a downwards slam at the pheasant, striking with so much force it lifts itself off the ground.

Zim arrives and peeks at the scene before him from behind a corner.

   "Hm? What's this? Some gremlin fighting animals?"   

The club-holding creature's attack may be a fierce one, but it's not a fast one. The pheasant, named Fezandipiti, simply spreads its wings and flies back a bit before impact, gracefully landing again while seemingly letting out a smug, taunting chuckle.

   "That gremlin is completely outnumbered. ... I guess I can stick around and watch for a bit more before I take over this city."   , Zim says. What, did you expect some sudden out-of-character moment where he feels pity for the creature in his cold, dark heart? This is Invader Zim, pal. The only thing he MAY sometimes feel any amount of pity for is metallic, soulless robots.

The monkey, named Munkidori, snickers eerily before looking at the big dog named Okidogi, then points at the creature. Nodding and pounding its fists, Okidogi starts walking towards the creature in preparation of atta-

...

Wait, hold on just a second!

   "WHAT!?"   

The sudden screech of disbelief rings out over the area, causing the three to pause and look around. Invader Zim suddenly walks out of his hiding spot, looking pissed.

   "What kind of FOOLISHNESS is THIS!? Why are you taking orders from the smallest one in your group!? You're the tallest! YOU should be in charge!"   

Okidogi blinks, then looks back at the equally baffled Munkidori and Fezandipiti. After a brief moment of pause, Munkidori laughs a little and points at Zim, which causes Okidogi and Fezandipiti to approach with malicious intent.

   "You DARE ignore the sound and ever-important advice of ZIIIIIIIIMMMMM!? You'll pay for that!"   

Within but a fraction of a second, Zim's spider legs emerge out of his PAK, along with attached rocket boosters, laser guns, laser cannons, a freaking MISSILE LAUNCHER, and lastly, a small bag of tortilla sauce that is way past its expiration date.

   "PAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!"   

The three stare for a moment with an expression that can only be described as 'about to shit bricks' before Zim screams and leaps at them, going ham with such comical violence and brutality that even the Looney Tunes would want to ask him to calm down. At one point Okidogi has the freaking gall to try to reach out to the small creature it was about to beat up as if to ask it to save it from the insane maniac.

The small creature glares down at Okidogi, stomping on his wrist and dragging him out of the conflict, but raising up its ivy kanabō once again.

"You want mercy? You should've SHOWN IT to my FRIEND!"

And down comes the cudgel on Okidogi's stupid head.

Okidogi screeches before getting bonked viciously. Fezandpiti and Munkidori get tossed to the side by Zim after he's done roughing them up, and then he sees the beating Okidogi is getting. So brutal, so vicious. Zim relishes in that.

Fezandipiti slowly gets back up while Zim isn't paying attention and quickly launches a Moonblast at both him and the creature. Though this is merely an attempt to knock them away so that it can pick up Okidogi (though don't ask me how it can even carry that thing) and start flying off, with Munkidori quickly rushing after them once it gets up too.

   "AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"   , Zim bellows out his evil, triumphant laugh.    "That's what happens when you mess with Zim! ... AND YOU!"   

He suddenly turns to the creature and points at it dramatically.

   "I like your style! Who are you? Tell meeee!"

The creature hefts its cudgel over its shoulder. "Oh, uh, I'm Oger-oops!"

The weight of the cudgel hitting its back jars the mask and causes it to fall off, revealing an adorable little face with starry eyes, Cute Little Fangs, and black Blush Stickers. It drops the cudgel and hastily grabs the mask to put it back on.

"Let's try that again. I'm Ogerpon! Those three jerks, um... Well, I'm not sure I want to talk about it."

Zim briefly looks confused by just how... non-threatening Ogerpon looks. This completely clashes with how brutally it was beating up Okidogi a moment ago, and Zim doesn't immediately know what to think of it.

But... oh... oh! Yes, of course! It's a trick! A way to lure in some buffoons, some fools, into thinking she's an easy target! Perhaps even to blend in, like with Zim's own 'human' disguise!

Not to mention her refusal to talk about those three. Yes, naturally, they were small fry not worth further attention. Clearly she's an engine of chaos who doesn't dwell on those she annihilates. No, she beats them into submission and moves on to the next without sparing any words on them.

   "Of course. It's brilliant!"   , he thinks to himself while eagerly rubbing his hands together.    "This one has talent!"   

He then walks up to Ogerpon.

   "Yes, I like your style!"   

You already said that.

   "You should join me, Ogerpon! You and I will RULE this city, and soon enough, the entire Arena!"   

...

Zim being his usual hammy self may make Ogerpon unsure if he's actually being serious about this or if he just likes being dramatic for the fun of it. He does have an evil vibe in his face, but he also doesn't really look like an actual serious threat to...

anyone, really.

Except those three idiots that were harassing her. ... who may choose to stay away from her if he's around given the beating the two of them gave them.

Ogerpon tilts her Cephalothorax to the side. "Uh...huh. You're kind of...weird...but you know, you did me a huge favor. Why not?"

She grins mischievously under her mask. "Though you did say the taller ones should command the shorter, so that means I should get to lead our conquest..."

After giving Zim a Beat to realize his error, she then says, "But I don't really care so I'm passing command to you effective immediately."

Wait, she's right. She's taller.

   "ACK!"   , he yelps.    "My genius backfired on me!? How!? Hooooooow!?"   

Another Beat.

   "... oh... er-hem. Yes, YES! A wise decision!"   , he says, considering them similar enough in height to make this acceptable.

   "Very well! As my first order, tell me how much you know about this horrendously lit city! I must know everything about it for when I-erm, we rule it!"   , he grins.

In actuality, he mostly wants to know the layout of the city so that he doesn't get lost like that one time back on Earth.

As Ogerpon starts skipping through the woods, she says, "Honestly, I'm new here, not just to the city but to the world. But those three jerks stole my other masks and hid them around the world. The masks contain dangerous power, so I need to get them back."

"I know there's a giant tree in the center of town, so maybe we could start there and make a map?"

   "Dangerous power, eh?"   , he asks, grinning again. He's clearly stumbled on a goldmine by meeting Ogerpon, and he's not at all coming to all the wrong conclusions based on his own insane logic. No, not at all.

   "Yesss... then we have to collect them immediately so that none of the cretins living here can get in our way!"   

He pulls back all of his PAK weaponry (including the overdate tortilla sauce) except for his spider legs.

   "The tree! Excellent thinking! I can place a satellite there! Grab on, my gremlin ally, I'll climb us to the top!"   

Should Ogerpon grab on, Zim will speedwalk them towards the tree and up it in a much, much shorter time than it would have taken for them to climb it in a regular fashion.

Nooooo! Megumi is sad to see his score go and crawl back to his remote..... just in time to see Yario get struck by a bouncing beach ball. As Yario stands still, facing his doom with a dumb grin on his face, Megumi desperately try reaching for a button, any button, to cause him to jump.

Hop! Yario begins jumping, letting out a grunt as he push himself off the ground and towards the sky. But the rotund engineer (NOT plumber) is unfortunately too slow. Or that would be what Megumi would say: instead, Yario's doom is out of his hands, the result of Megumi's overconfidence. He, who has not sinned nor can sin, is condemned because of the actions of beings incomprehensibly beyond his artificial understanding.

His grin doesn't even change as the bouncy beach ball get closer and closer. Unable to realize he's doomed, let alone rationalize it, Yario's strong body is rocked by a cataclysmic impact as he's hit right in his big fat belly. To most spectators, this would be nothing. But Megumi, at this very moment, is like a lonesome T-rex contemplating the meteor impact that doomed his era. Yario is his Earth, his Jurassic Park era. And the bouncy beach ball is the meteor, the cold predator from space, sent from the darkest bowels of the cosmos by a path woven by Fate to doom him.

For all his power, all his size, Megumi the T-Rex is helpless before the might of the meteor/bouncy beach ball or the cosmic winds that brought said meteor/bouncy beach ball into the Earth/Yario. And though the Earth/Yario is sturdy and able to survive the impact, Megumi/T-rex's life ends here.

It happens.

Yario gets hit by a bouncy beach ball and dies UWAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

As Zoad take his place as the game's alpha male, and winner towering above all, Corrin goes for a proud thumb-up at his rivals while Beruka gives Subaru a prudent nod and slight smile, acknowledging her quick-thinking. Yuji himself goes over to pat both Subaru, Corrin and Jenner in the shoulder. Huh, two at a time then one at a time.

Wow! Nice work, all! But, hehe, don't get too cocky! Megumi is cooking up a retaliation as we-

EIGHT HANDLED SWORD DIVERGENT *geez what a long title huff huff ok i'm good* SILA DIVINE GENERAL MAHORAGA https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mahoraga.jpg

oh no

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qyxnu9df2wnb1.jpg

plz don't do this

Mahoraga blitz forward at the television and console, slicing into the console with its powerful sword of annihilation and then, with a single powerful upwards gesture, annihilating both the TV and console at once, leaving nothing behind. For good measure, it grabs the remotes currently held by everyone and then also proceeds to destroy these too with a strong punch.

Now here come the funny part. Mahoraga isn't fully controlled by Megumi. Nor has it ever been controlled by any Ten Shadows user. Now everyone must band together and epically defeat it before

Aw, that was very uncool of you to do Megumi!

Yeah! That's a bit of a yikes moment right there, buddy!

... he didn't even destroy that awful wall paint while he was at it.

Yeah, sorry, I got a bit carried away! Megumi scratch the back of his head and winks, prompting Corrin, Beruka and Yuji to simply go "awww" and pat him on the shoulder.

Awww, you just took away what would've been a treasured memory for me, just because you were upset at losing a non-important minigame, but you're still my pal.

And, hey, those games sucked anyway!

Yes. Mine looked to be the worst.

Mahoraga doesn't get what's going on.

It'd be a shame to end the party night on a bunch of bad games like these. We should use the power of friendship to do something productive. Like looking for a particularly unique video game that's super good.

Oh. I know! I spotted something good down in Hub Centralis's streets. Just you guys wait! I'm going to fetch a game that'll knock your socks off!

That sounds vaguely sexual but ok

It's... the hammer!

Beruka gasps. Corrin freezes. Megumi almost drop dead. Mahoraga does a double take.

The hammer?!

But no one can beat that game!

Yuji, don't go and do something stupid again!

But, unfortunately, the young man departs into the night before he can hear their protests. And the group is left to ponder on the meaning of his folly.

... Huh, are you guys okay? I still have some snacks left if you want.

Mahoraga throws its arms into the air and leave. Polnareff get up to escort it out but then immediately run back to his wheelchair upon realizing that no one will give him "creeplie freebie" on the snacks now.

Then Mahoraga happens.

   "Or that."    she mutters. But then they both get DISTRACTED.

" GASP, the Hammer?" Yamame asks, shocked. While Wriggle nabs some snacks for herself.

   "I heard the last person who tried to beat it was found dead."    Wriggle whispers conspiratorially, somehow eating without a visible mouth.    "...Of dysentery but it probably had to do with the game."

The Hammer

The nerd gets progressively more and more drunk as the game night goes on, wathing the shitty games, and is so drunk at a certain point that he doesnt even care about the console getting broken. He's Just watching. However... The mention of... the hammer, Sobers up the nerd, as he suddenly asks "Did you say... The Hammer?"

He then does the sign of the cross, as if a demon was mentioned.


FORT DAWNGUARD

Exalt Vincent, (Mar's Older Brother), looks over his troops from a higher point in the building, saying "Men, Ladies, and other fine folk who stand before me. It has come to my attention that fort dawnguard, our current foothold in this arena, may come under attack at any time, and that it has before. My brother and his squad will be returning soon, but while they return, we should begin modernizing the defenses of this fortress of old. I was given a message from my brother before he left scouting with instructions. I shall read them out to you."

He gives them a glance, before saying "Never mind, these are not formal orders. Guess He didn't have time. What he did say is to get some machine guns and artillery set up. It's unlikely any tanks will be able to make their way into this area, unless they somehow cross the mountains. So, For now, Here is an image from a scout drone above the fort."

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20231121_200839_youtube.jpg

"With what we have, while the fortification being centred around the barracks is... odd, we can set up artillery on top of, and machine guns inside of, the various towers, while using parts of the cliff face and foilage to hide sharpshooters. That's what my brother said, in a... less formal way."

He chuckles, before saying "He also wrote, To quote, "For the Love of Fucking Naga, We need electricity in the fort, and outside the fort, we at the very least need some basic fortifications in the entry valley, and some up the road to the fort. Get some barbed wire up too. Make full use of the choke points we have, for fucks sakes." You heard what he said, Now, We'll get to work!"

Vincent picks up a sandbag himself and rushes down the stairs to help fortify, as a symbolic gesture, as the Generic units of fort dawnguard rally to fortify the "Fortification" even further, and set up electrical devices.

The park's other visitors don't seem to pay attention to the robot that's out on a walk - here in the Arena, machine entities aren't an uncommon sight after all. And the robot doesn't seem to be headed anywhere in particular, either.

Sukuna is dead serious as he prepares the final steps of his little ploy to beat William. He himself wouldn't call it that: it was going to be a very simple demonstration of raw power, at least on the surface. And if it worked, then he wouldn't even need to resort to "plan B". There were ways for it to fail, and the King had no other choices but to consider them anyway given his opponent's esoteric nature. And it pleased him, in some way, to consider that he had those.

It had been so long since he'd been pushed like that... Well, not that long because of Courne. But this amazes Sukuna even more. That this realm would so quickly introduce him to fighters capable of threatening him, despite the addition of Mahoraga and the Cursed Personas to his laudable repertoire, was awe-inspiring to Sukuna. And, was he a lesser Curse, perhaps the realization that Courne and William were but a small part of what was to come would shock him. Or, worse, humble him.

But he was Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses. As extraordinarily strong or diverse as these fighters could be, he knew he could take them down. Perhaps not as easily as he felled past enemies, but to Sukuna, all of these battles were fights he could win. And all of the inhabitants of this realm, he could eventually conquer. He just needed to figure out how he was going to cook them first.

He'd failed with Courne. Though it was due to the intervention of a third-party, Sukuna would sooner blame himself for lowering his guard than accuse Courne of "cheating" when he had simply received assistance from someone else. His ego and pride still stood tall, far from tarnished, but he had the maturity to admit when he hadn't dealt optimally with a situation.

So William's death would mark the first warning to the Arena. And the intervention of those flying vehicles, though surprising, was not going to be as much of a tie-breaker as that ugly kid was for Courne.

Sukuna takes a stance, raising his right hand like he's about to do a sick karate chop, pointed towards William.

   Dragon scales. Repulsion...   

Sukuna pauses through his Cursed Chant.    I am Ryomen Sukuna. And now... behold...   

   M E G I D O L A O N   

Three spinning purple orbs of light appears in front of William and Sukuna, illuminating the both of them and bathing them in eerie light. Under Sukuna's influence, they look much more like spinning Magatamas tied to one another by a floating intestine. But such detail is minutely noticed, because the Magatamas are quickly sucked into one another, combining into one...

And exploding.

The subsequent explosion is an all-out manifestation of pure power. Sukuna hadn't laced it with anything dangerous. It wasn't made to test out William's power. It wasn't a smokescreen for an even grander attack. It was exactly what it was: a fuckhuge beam, so tremendously large and fast that it could very well engulf and consume the strange flying vehicles within its path, should they fail to escape.

It spreads across miles upon miles of forest, incinerating all that stands in its way and causing the ground to shake around a much larger radius even. Trees not caught by the beam, but nonetheless close to it, are violently ripped off the ground and set alight, being merely turned to ashes instead of outright annihilated like their counterpart. Gigantic cracks form from the impact point, engulfing vast portions of woodland still.

The actual area in front of Sukuna has been turned into a large barren chasm. Despite the sheer power of the attack, its magical nature means there's no smoke left behind, allowing those within the chasm to fully see the red sky left behind in the attack's wake. Oddly, the effect cease the farther one get from the middle of the crater. They'd just need to scale up the large walls of earth that have risen up after the blast, like craggly mountains jutting out of that gigantic brown wound.

Looking at it from space, one would see a large brown gash unto the Arena. One that will soon be mended, admittedly.

Purple lighting hover in the sky or in large tornadoes in the distance as Sukuna stands firm, apparently unhurt by his own blast, so as to avoid a case of Too Awesome to Use. Still, he isn't exactly in a healthy state: using Megidolaon is a serious drain, even with his considerable amount of Cursed Energy. Beelzebub, still standing by his side, even has troubles maintaing its appearance, flickering in and out of existence and struggling to keep its form at bay.

Sukuna says nothing. His expression is stone-cold as his four eyes quietly scan around, going from the spot where he stand to the large wound he gave upon this world.

His hand has not been lowered.
