Tropers: The Series

Dan swings the mirror at the imp

"YOU STARTED THIS 'KILL OR BE KILLED' NIGHTMARE! AND I'M GONNA END IT!"

The Imp swings the Time Fork forward at the same time, smashing the mirror into pieces. Shards of shattered glass fly past the Imp, each of them reflecting various events from across time on their surface. The wooden back of the mirror falls to the ground, broken and useless. But the shards of glass start to glow with the power of time, as projections shine out from them, showing all of history in various portions around the battlefield.

"That's it!" I shout, suddenly remembering I exist. "You've caused trouble for me, my friends, and all of time for far too long!"

Shouting, I summon my eggplant blade, and engage the Imp head-on. He parries my strikes with expertise, but nothing happens to the Keyblade - for as long as I'm alive it never deteriorates, and it has always existed in this form.

"That's quite the magical weapon you've got," the Imp notes. "But it still won't be enough to stop me."

The Imp falls back, shooting more Time Beams at the various Tropers while still deflecting my attacks.

Dan starts frantically trying to dodge the beams flying everywhere

"Crap Crap CRAP!"

He grabs a dead branch out of the timestream

"Darn it brain, don't fail on me now"

That's when he notices that something's up with the mirror shards

"I guess you never know when you could need a shiv...

...Hey, After! Don't you dare steal my kill!"

(In addition to the beam heading towards Robin, there were some more headed towards Chey and Ford.)
"SMEG! We're screwed, aren't we?"
"Yeah, we are..."
"And just when our lives were about to get so much better! With the wedding we've been dreaming of, and me being pregnant with our first baby-Oh, fuck."
"Wait... B-baby?"
(Clone!Robin gets in front of the beams' path.)
"ROBIN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"BETTER MYSELF DEAD THAN YOU TWO!"
"ROBIN, NO!"
"ROBIN, YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!"
(Somehow, in some way, Robin screaming out "yes" had emitted an supersonic wave which sent each of the beams' to a different direction. One of which turned the jellyfish into a jar of jelly, another turned an anvil into liquid metal or whatever, and Lord knows what happens to the rest but they sure didn't hit our trio.)
"Robin!"
"....What happened?"
"I think your screaming might've saved our behinds."
"Really?"
(Chey then hugs Clone!Robin. Ford follows suit afterward.)
"Yes."

...

"what was that"

"Come and help me kill it, then!" I shout at Dan, as the Imp starts to go on the offensive, and I back away, trying to fend him off with my keyblade.

Several of the beams deflected by Robin end up hitting the various glass shards on the ground, which absorb them and glow with the intense power of time.

(Tales doesn’t know what the hell is going on, so he chucks a rutabaga from hammerspace at the imp.)

Dan breaks off a part of the branch and embeds the shiv into the smaller piece

As he charges in he trows the dead branch at the imp and immediately follows up with the "time knife"

The Imp catches the rutabaga with the prongs of the Time Fork, turning it into sliced rutabaga salad, which falls over him harmlessly.

When Dan stabs the Imp with the mirror shard, suddenly he and the Imp are transported to the Middle Ages, where a group of peasants is hunting for mushrooms.

"Hey, I got a funny lookin' mushroom here!" shouts one of the villagers. He reaches down only to find he has picked up a tiny baby jellyfish.

"Yeouch!" he shouts, dropping the jellyfish to the ground.

"What the hell?!" the Imp shouts, pulling the glass shard out of the wound. As soon as he does, he and Dan are transported back to the time arena.

"Well... that was certainly something, maybe I should be more careful with"*sucker punches the imp*

"HA!"

(While the imp is caught off-guard, Tales quickly constructs a crude sword out of scrap metal from his failed inventions. He then attempts to engage in a swordfight with the imp.)

"OWW!!!" The Imp is sent careening backwards by Dan's punch, but he manages to recover in time to block Tales' sword with the Time Fork, turning it back into scrap metal from his failed inventions.

Playing hits the imp very hardly with his rusted sword, while shouting about the "2017's MIT Mystery Hunt".

Marcia backs away from the Time Fork, knowing that she could turn back into her larval form, and fires a bunch of scrap at the imp. She plays the distance game for now because being a caterpillar is disadvantageous in a climactic battle like this. With this mind, Junon continues helping Marcia by lobbing magical snowballs at the imp.

Tales hollers out “TOO OP! PLEASE NERF!”

Steph just looks around for a metal sword that she could use to stab the imp, but couldn't find any. "Uh, there's no sword anywhere, I'll just use my fists instead." She punches the remaining imp hard.

The Imp blocks Playing's rusted sword, turning it even rustier.

The Imp lets out a field of time power from the Fork, which turns the scrap metal into brand new, pristine pieces of metal, which of course only ends up hitting him harder.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" the Imp gets knocked back repeatedly, falling to the ground.

"Nerf THIS!" He calls out, forming a ball of energy in the prongs of the fork and firing it at Tales. The energy ball would explode on impact, and if Tales gets caught in it, it would transport him to the 1800s.

(Tales dodges.)

“You’ll have to be quicker than that.”

(Tales reforms the metal pieces, via welding, into an impressive piece of art. Which he then slams on the imp’s head.)

Playing punches the imp very hard.

"Take that back!"

Dan grabs a staff meant for pole vaulting and swings it at the imp

"Let's see you dodging this!"

"Right... Let's resume."
(Chey, Ford, and Clone!Robin then carry on with rapidly firing their weapons.)

Not seeing Tales' attack coming, he gets hit with the impressive work of art, though it shatters back into metal scrap pieces on impact. The damage is done though, as the Imp is too stunned to react to the next move.

He takes Playing's punch full to the face, sending him flying backwards, thought Playing suddenly gets struck with the irresistible urge to crack all his knuckles.

With the Imp flying through the air, he's in prime position to get hit by Dan's pole vault, sending him careening into the sky, where he's immediately shot up by a barrage of lasers from the gun sticks.

"That's it!!" the Imp screams, popping back to the ground. "You meddling kids have been a nuisance for too long. I don't need you anymore, so I'll just break the whole timestream, with you in it!"

The Imp cackles as the Time Fork overflows with energy, crackling bolts of time energy spreading in every direction, threating to topple all of existence.

"Yeah, cause that one worked out so well for you last time"

Dan grabs the "knife" and tosses it full force at the imp

"Oh no! Looks like it's time to go beyond the 20's cartoons..." says Toon Puma. He then grows really large, takes on a bluish hue, and gains giant bat wings. He still looks like a funny cartoon cat thing though.

'Night on Bald Mountain' plays. ChernaPuma unfolds his wings and spreads his arms, summoning hordes of cutesy bats, ghosts, skeletons, and more to fly into the Imp.

Playing, in werecat form, slices the imp with his paws.
