In fact, Stephanie got caught mid-air, and yeeted away, crashing with the glass of a shop.

Sportacus thinks quickly, and then proceeds to grab one of the creature's legs, trying to topple him.

"Thank you, I think?"

She thinks.

"Hmmmmmmmmm I should really learn how to cook! I always rely on real chefs and my friend Maria to make sweets and stuff. If I could make sweets myself..."

My god, Katarina learning how to make her own sweets? Unconscionable.

"Sarah, if I didn't want these cybernetics, I could disintegrate them with a thought." Cyber-Refia laughs weakly.

"I don't entirely remember either. But that's just how I tend to think up White Magic. Demonic power isn't normally fire, and angelic power isn't normally lightning. It's just how I picture them, so that's how they typically appear for me."


"W-wait," Rock stammers, standing in front of the glass barrier, "I wasn't even going to-"

Vivace cackles as she builds up a Buster shot. "Sorry, Rock, I wanted an excuse for mayhem and now I've got one."

"It's alright," X says to reassure his predecessor. "I'll make sure he does something beneficial to the world. Granted, I can't stop him from also doing evil stuff."

"Of course not," Rock says with a sigh. "Guess the fight's up to me again."

Phase Woman blasts a hole through the wall and to the outside. "Bye, Rock!" she hollers as she starts to leave. She briefly turns around to wink at him, which stuns him, before resuming the escape along with the others.

"Was she... flirting with me...?" Rock wonders as he stands there.

Dr. Wily follows the others as the alarms start to blare, though Glass Man has to be warped back out, as he's still on the other side of what used to be a window and he's too thicc wide to fit through the gap.

He reappears by Bass' side. Dr. Wily grins as the group approaches them.

"Excellent work, Bass. I'm glad to see I could count on you."

"Only because I had nothing better to do.", Bass huffs. He then looks at X.

"What the-"

"Right, he wants my help for something, so he's coming with us."

"... sure. We don't have time to argue right now. The cops will be here any minute and I bet Mega Man will too."

He opens up a portal leading back to the Arena.

"Everybody through."

Ah, my bad! I guess I was sounding a little like Nicole there, hm?

She listens to her, and nods. I don't have much knowledge of magic, I'll admit it. It always come in different shape and size... but I think you use it well, that said. That plasma orb to counter mine was a good idea!

Sorry if I did rough you up though. I tend to sometimes... kick things up a notch. Erm, hope you didn't mind.

Luffy throws a stretchy punch, vapor once more surrounding his arm. His Gomu Gomu No Jet Pistol attempts to slam into the colossus's head to knock him down to the floor!

As the Fated Four make their exit, X briefly stops and looks back at Rock, who just gives him a thumbs-up. X nods and heads through the portal after them.

Regeneration is neat like that, hm? Last fight I had, I think I got an arm lopped off but it was fresh as news.

She looks bothered and pat her face. Though I feel like I look younger every time I use it. I'm at a point where I'm going to be mistaken as my kids's big sister, ah!... Well it'd actually embarrass me a little.

...

Sweets? Hm... You could use me as a "judge", I like sweets. She kindly offers. I never get to eat them though. I always get distracted and I forget where I can buy them...

She then smiles. I don't know them much, but they're a merry bunch. We can meet them for sure, though!

Rock may also briefly catch a familiar silhouette standing on the other side of the portal. Eggman?

It's unclear, because everyone will have gone through the portal before Rock can make out any details, after which it closes. Still, if Eggman is also back, that may also be something he'll have to warn Sonic about.

They'll all arrive back in the lab, and Dr. Wily laughs victoriously.

"Excellent work, all of you! Thanks to you and the implanted chip I'm finally free from that wretched prison!"

"Chip?", Glass Man asks. Bass looks at him.

"He implanted a chip underneath his skin the day before he got captured. It was linked to a chip that came with your blueprints. Once you were online and your chip activated, the doctor's chip would have notified him with a low frequency ring."

"I'll have to get it out sometime soon though. It's outlived its usefulness. Before that though... X, was it? What exactly do you need my help f-"

   "Our help for?"   , Eggman Nega suddenly says, wrapping his arm around Dr. Wily in a friendly manner. Dr. Wily is startled for a moment, he had not yet noticed the shadowy man.

"Whoa, wait, who... Ivo?"

   "Not quite. But you can consider me a friend..."   

Dr. Wily looks wary, but Eggman Nega turns back to X.

   "We should talk and get to know each other in a little bit though. How about we let the lad explain what he needs from you?"

"God I hope eldritch tentacles come out of those dances-"

Cecil notices his bonk didn't work at all and struggled to control his warhammer reverberating backwards, seeing the backslap incoming he just accepts his fate.

"d'aw crapbaskets-"

He gets flung, hurt, and launched to a dumpster, someone from a rooftop dropping in to check on him. The person quickly patting down for wounds, clearly angry.

"Why the hell are you here you old geezer?!"

"Man my gut instinct's still sharp as ever."

"Whatever, you're just an old man to me"

Mark ran for the obsidian skin, throwing fireballs at it on his way while Cecil got up and searched around for the other people he fought, if they're still there.

Katarina raises a finger, puts it down, then raises again.

"I don't know how much older I'm going to end up looking," Cyber-Refia laments. "Demons are beings of chaos, so even with a human parent, my aging isn't set in stone either. I've looked this way for over a hundred years. I could..."

A long pause sets in as she tries to think of what to say next. "I... I could eventually grow up to look like you, or maybe... or maybe I've already peaked and I'll just be a high school kid forever."


X knows who Eggman Nega is on sight, but chooses not to throw away the chance to say his piece. "I'm from a timeline where things in the future go horribly wrong. Zero, Dr. Wily's most powerful robot - my equal and sometimes superior in almost every way - went from a mindless berserker, to a hero and my best friend. Then he lost everything he held dear, failed to save the world, and snapped. He's currently in the Arena, presiding over a small Reploid society in the Floating City. Any organic life or foreign robot that trespasses there is killed on sight."

X sighs. To mention Gravitas or not...? Probably best not to. "In a better world, Zero wouldn't have turned out this way. He'd go on to outlive me and become Earth's champion. But that isn't our reality. I need your help to make the best of this, Doctor. Doctors, if you're willing to help as well," he adds with a glance at Eggman Nega.

Bass' eye twitches at the mention of Zero being Wily's most powerful robot. However, he keeps his mouth shut for now. Glass Man looks confused at Bass' angry expression.

Wily, meanwhile, looks contemplative, thinking about it deeply. A lot of thoughts go through his head. To know his project is superior to Light's is very satisfying to know, and it makes him want to do something about the situation.

On the other hand, he'd be taking some serious risks. Not to mention showing himself back in the Arena when it's perhaps too early to do so. Mega Man can't have seen where this portal leads to, so he wouldn't know with 100% certainty that he came back here. But if he were spotted and either Mega Man or Sonic caught wind of that...

   "It sounds like this Zero is your pride and joy."   , Eggman Nega suddenly says, grinning. Dr. Wily turns to look at him.

"Regardless of whether he is, you seem very invested in this matter."

   "Oh, no need for such wariness. I helped your robots create that new one because I wanted to talk to you about some matters. And I'd love to see the pinnacle of your skills for myself. Why not help the lad out, hm?"   

He suddenly uses his 'arm around shoulder' position to lead Wily a bit back further into the room so that he can whisper without the robots and X overhearing.

   "I understand your hesitance. You want to lay low. But this is an opportunity as well."   

"For what exactly?"

   "A good reputation, dear doctor. You can't hide secrets in a place like this, you'll be found eventually. And then your enemies will be gunning for you again. But if we build up a good reputation with some heroic characters like X over there, then sure, our main enemies will still be wary of us, but they can't simply charge at us without a good reason anymore. Otherwise they'll make themselves look bad, and trust me... making yourself look bad is a very easy way to make more enemies in this world. They'll either have to give us a chance, or they'll have to risk their own problems increasing while we'll be seen as the victims."   

"... We'll need to talk a bit more later.", Wily says, still wary, but he does turn back to X. As wary as he is of Eggman Nega's intentions, he still genuinely feels like he might regret refusing to help his star creation when he needs him.

"Very well, X. I'll help you in whatever way I can."

Eggman Nega, still turned away, grins in a pleased manner. He figured he'd have to prove himself to Wily first before he'd even be remotely interested in playing out his plans, but with X's request, an opportunity to get his devices started just fell right into his lap.

The beast looked down at Sportacus, contempt on his face.

Prepared to lift his leg and stomp this pest into the ground, he pauses, glancing up slightly to investigate the source of the whistling coming directly for his face.

Ah yes, an arm.

Caught off guard, the monster is slammed into the ground, creating a decent sized crater where he lands, fireballs pelting him from the newcomer. He glares back at Luffy, slamming his hand into the ground and pulling out a chunk of concrete and rebar, throwing it towards the man with a roar. Meanwhile, he grabs Sportacus, assuming the man is still on his leg, and throws Mr. Blue at Mark.

Meanwhile, Cecil would have found two of the three, in the form of an ambush. Shieldy attempted to bash Cecil with his shield, as Stabby came in with a flurry of messy slashes from his two daggers.

With great power…you know the rest.

Mark hops out of Sportacus' flung direction.

"Wonder if the old man can satisfy that cross-scarred bastard's appetite"

Red hot chains on his arms as he flings the chains to the monster's arm to coil and ensnare it. If successful Mark is shot to the monster, likely passing the large hammer while he goes for a clean punch to the face.

"EAT THIS YOU BIG BLACK CRETIN"

Cecil blocks the slashing with a spinning piece of hardened pizza dough as he's pushed back from the shield bash.

"I'M WASTING PRECIOUS FUCKING FOOD, THE ONLY DISCOUNT YOU'RE GETTING IS YOUR LIFE SPARED, EVEN THEN THAT'S BEING GENEROUS"

Once backed he goes for an array of swings with his warhammer towards the shield guy, intending to take him out first.

Cecil's swings result in Shieldy's shield being destroyed, as the enemy is knocked Down.

This does, however, give Stabby the opportunity to attack from behind, aiming to cut deep into Cecil with both blades.

Both blows slam into the obsidian monster, as he crashes into a storefront. He takes nary but a moment to recover, getting back to his feet before long, although growing fatigued.

"You Arena types…" He snarled, speaking for the first time. His voice was deep, inhuman, and exactly how you'd expect a twenty foot man made out of obsidian to sound. He raised a finger to his lips, pulling it away to glance at a red droplet on his finger, as he looked back up.

"Always so stubborn…" He began stepping towards Luffy, on the other side of this section of the mall. "So lost to death's path…" He broke off a pillar from one of the storefront, holding the ten foot object in both hands like a club. Finally, he spoke above a whisper, yelling as he leapt towards Luffy, aiming to slam the pillar down on him.

"Allow me to show you the way!"

"Yain't getting me easily Shanksie!"

Cecil rolls past the fallen Shieldy then quickly swings his warhammer to launch the body towards Stabby as an attempt to disorient. Disoriented or not he follows up with a slam aimed for his noggin.

Once the strike hit, Mark pursues behind. Launching his coiling chains towards the monster's waistline to slightly ensnare it. Afterwards he leaps into the air, his legs ignite, and chains recoil as his body's shot feet first towards their full moon.

"Betcha never expected this type of entrance!"

No, YOU! Luffy wittily replies. He throws his arm back to stretch it a long distance back and sort of snap it forward afterwards, attempting to let the strength and speed of the move blow through the pillar and into the obsidian beast's face.

Thanks, mustache guy! He says, turning to Sportacus and waving him over.

A strange-looking man, about 4 feet tall, digs through an equally strange-looking backpack. For one, the man is almost literally a 16-bit sprite, his dark skin contrasting his white wedding veil and dress, and the ice crystal-wings on his back. The backpack is equally pixelated.

He pulls his arm out of the pack, flinging a bundle of palm-sized, lime-green flames onto the ground. The flames floated a few inches above the ground.

He plunged his arm back into the pack, and continued digging.

A faceless woman becomes visible as the flames flicker. Her hair is a shade of moon grey, tied in a short ponytail.

She watches without eyes as this strange fellow leaves, and takes the fire into her hands.

"I was beginning to..."

She looks at the fire now in her hands, and lets out a sound like a sigh.

"Ah, never mind. Goodbye."

The light fades, and she is gone just as soon as she appeared.

The wire slowed the beast just enough for Mark's chains to catch up, wrapping around him as his kick propelled the humanoid forwards, directly into Luffy's slingshot arm.

He fell to the ground, stumbling for a few seconds, before eyeing the area, ideas appearing in his mind. And so, the monster ran.

But instead of running towards any of the defenders of the mall, his feet shaking the earth below with every step, he ran towards the two melees who had summoned him, grabbing both of them in both hands (While aiming to kick Cecil aside), while said troublemakers emitted a squeak, as if they were a dog toy. The monster raised his left leg and drew his right arm back, launching Shieldy towards Mark. The other was shot towards Sportacus. The two projectiles would explode on impact, same as earlier.

——

Over the barren Lourent wasteland, a conflict was raging in the sky…

Jordo, the heroic God of Ore, rode upon his stone chariot, driven by gargoyles that launched fireballs at the single humanoid chasing them.

Frantically whipping the reins, Jordo looked behind him, finding that the stark white man with a black, slimy cape and a lack of a nose was gaining on the chariot rapidly. He turned back to the gargoyles, whipped the reins harder, and looked behind him once more..

Only to find the god-killer was now on his chariot, walking towards Jordo. Panicking, Jordo reached for his legendary pickaxe, only to have his primary arm cleaved from his torso, with a quick, effortless motion of the all-black blade that had formed, almost as an extension of the god-butcher's arm.

With a cry of pain, the God of Ore grabbed the bleeding stump where his arm had been, as the vicious monster reared the sword back, impaling the defenseless God through the chest, before jerking his arm, flinging Jordo to the side and off the chariot, falling from the sky. The God-Butcher frowned, realized it would now have to find the deity under the darkness of night. He waited a moment, before stepping off of the chariot, flying to the ground, unknowingly miles away from the fallen deity by now.

Meanwhile, the man had managed to drag himself to a small cave, propping himself up against a rock while leaving a trail of blood that betrayed his location to any who was to come across it.

Yosh! Grab me, mustache guy, chain pain! He stand up, attempting to get them to grab his legs and arms and stretch them. If their teamwork is on point, then they'll use Luffy as an improvised pseudo-trampoline by using him to intercept the Melees and, after gritting his teeth at the impact, send them back the way of the mastodonte.

To do that, they only need to swing the Luffy-trampoline forward once the projectiles have landed.
