BZPower Battles

[ Bebop II, Zev's Quarters: ]

Zev: So. What's the plan so far?

Vi: Do we have a battle strategy?

---

[ Cafeteria: ]

Wekiga: Here's the moral and the story/From the guy who knows!

Pitou: I fell in love/And my love still grows!

Together: Asking any fool that she never knew,/And they'll say -

Prudence: Keep away, from Runaround Pru!

...

*She gives Ynot a hug*

Prudence: You're back in the story too~ Yay~

*Nuzzle* *Nuzzle*

--- --- ---

[ Icy Planet: ]

*Three figures hover before the fighters*

Hishima: ... *Leads his brothers in a charge*

*Their first attack sends three fighters tumbling out of the sky*

*Wheeling around, they swoop in again*

--- --- ---

[ Desert Planet: ]

Moody River, more deadly
Than the vainest knife,
Moody River, your muddy water
Took my baby's life...

*Abruptly, the abandoned jukebox is destroyed by a swing of Ozhel's tail*

Ozhel: GGGHHHRRRAAAAARRRRRGGGHHH!! *Breathes a wave of flames at Ryoko*

Ryoko: Hah!! *Thrusts one hand forward, dispelling the flames with a telekinetic burst*

*Another blast of telekinesis knocks Ozhel back a bit*

Jake: Taking aim! *Locks onto Ozhel's flank* Fire! Thunderbolt!

*Launched is a large spike of pale silver-blue*

*Piercing into Ozhel's hip, it begins to visibly spark*

Ozhel: Gggrrrrrggghhh!! *Whirls, preparing to attack Jake*

*He is stopped by an arrow gouging out his eye*

*Both Ryoko and Jake turn to see who it was, smiling*


Ryoko: Good to see you, Jeorge! You showed up at an excellent time!

Jake: Hope you don't mind if we save the explanations 'til later?

Jeorge: Not at all. Let's focus on handling this beastly fellow for now.

Ozhel: Ghraaarrrgh! Ghrrraaaaarrrgh!! *Snaps jaws fiercely*

*He gets ready for another attack...*

[ Shroom & co's room: ]

Shroom: That's a nice gesture, but that book is pretty rare. Our best bet to find it would be Subnixus.

*Moss and Draak'ha begin doing each other's hair, Draak'ha putting some of accessories almost identical to her own in Moss' hair*

Shroom: ... Unless you know a collector of books of some sort. Since it's pretty rare, it's prized among collectors.

*He gives a sigh*

Shroom: There is seriously too much to do... Blegh.

Moss: Ooh~ I like it~

*Moss looks at herself in a mirror*

Draak'ha: Glad you like it~

Moss: *Whispers* Where did you put it?

Draak'ha: *Whispers back* It's in my foot, I'm not gonna use it until Shroom is mobile though~

Moss: Good idea, the effect would be much better~

Both: *Giggle*

[ Bebop II, Shroom & Co.'s Room: ]

Namah: ...We could ask Pitou.

*Looking up at them, her gaze is unreadable as ever*

Namah: I saw a lot of really rare titles on his shelves. It wouldn't hurt.

*Her tail arches slightly*

--- --- ---

[ Unknown Desert Planet: ]

Ozhel: *Roars, breathing out a jet of fire*

Ryoko: *Swoops around the attack before lobbing a ball of orange energy at the dragon*

*With a large explosion, Ozhel is shoved back about a foot*

Ryoko: *Follows up with a telekinetic burst from her right palm*

Ozhel: Ggghhhrrrrrggghhh... *Flails, attempting to right himself with his wings*

Jeorge: *Launches a pair of flaming arrows into either of the dragon's wings*

*Crackles of flame begin to spread across the membranes of his wings*

Jake: Fire! Stonehoist! *Proceeds to fire another huge stone sphere*

*It impacts right into Ozhel's ribcage, knocking him over*

Ryoko: *Plunges an energy sabre right into the top of Ozhel's head*

Ozhel: Live long...And...Prosper...Lord...Me...Te...Usss...!! *Begins to fade into flames*

*However, his eyes suddenly shoot wide open, and his huge shape begins flailing again*

Ozhel: BANZAI!! BANZAI, LORD METEUS!! BANZAI!! BANZAAAIIIII!!

Jeorge: Honestly. Is this obnoxious diarrhea of the mouth a new ability that Meteus's forces have gained?

*He fires three arrows right into the front of Ozhel's throat*

Ozhel: *Wheeze* *Wheeze* ...Ggh...Gghhh... *Falls down again weakly*

Jeorge: If you can't die with dignity, then at least save the victors from suffering at your bellowing.

*Turning away from the limp, glassy-eyed dragon without another glance, he looks to Ryoko*

Jeorge: Uterio's forces took my family's rightful land. Our people are safe, but I wish to fight this madman.

Jake: Alright~! We're startin' to get the band back together again!

Ryoko: Next stop - The nation of Grust, on the planet of Rhadan!

Jake: Wait, wh - !? *Never gets to finish*

*They teleport away*

---

[ Grust, Rhadan: ]

*All three arrive just outside a small, walled-up village*

*Just a few meters away from a wide precipice, a misty ravine yawns beyond*

*Opposite this ravine, a huge mountain range extends up into yet more ominous mist*

*Drawing near, the three are greeted by a single old man leaning on a cane*

Old Man: Welcome, children. Are you the warriors we were told would be coming?

Ryoko: ...Not sure what you mean. We're here looking for the man called Ymir. You seen him?

Old Man: *Scowl* ...That ogre hasn't come down from the mountains for weeks.

Ryoko: *Glare* ...Listen, you old man. Don't go calling Ymir an ogre when he probably saved your grandfather's life.

Old Man: Feh. *Snort* And just what would a spitfire like you know about Grust?

Ryoko: I know you were united by Princess Minerva. I know you've been at war with every other major country on this continent. I know this is where Meteus the Dark Manekete was "executed" as it were. And I know that Ymir fought to protect your village even when your ancestors called him an "ogre" just like you do now.

Old Man: *Staggers back* H...How do you know all that!? You just got here! No one could know that Meteus was executed here unless they were...They were...

Ryoko: Unless they were there for it themselves? *Wink* I'm Ryoko Hakubi, aka "The Monster Superior to Monsters" from Rhadan legend. *Giggle* I know! I'm cuter in person, right?

Old Man: *Has fallen to the ground in a dead faint* ...Guh... *Twitches slightly*

Ryoko: C'mon. The people here are useless. We'll have to head up the mountain to reach Ymir.

Jake: Huh...I was here for it, and I don't remember him.

Jeorge: I'll admit...The name "Ymir" escapes me as well.

Ryoko: We~ll...The thing is, he wasn't at the final battle. He, Etzel, and Xane had a more pressing matter to attend to.

Jake: Huh? What's that supposed to mean? What could be more important than that battle?

Ryoko: You remember those three last Grustian Citadels? Hmmm? Those three?

Jake: ...Yeeeaaah... *Seems to know where this is going*

Ryoko: Ymir, Etzel, and Xane. They did it.

Jake: ...Whoa...That's...Impressive...

Jeorge: ...Indeed...Well, I remember Etzel, but I don't remember Xane, either.

Ryoko: We'll meet him soon enough. Anyways, Ymir is half-Goliath. His father was a normal human and his mother was an unusually small and incredibly beautiful Goliath woman.

Jake: Ah...I see...So. I guess he was pretty small for a Goliath?

Ryoko: Not so much. For some reason or another, while he was born an expectable size, he grew up to be quite a bit larger than his mother. He's also much like a Goliath in terms of personality.

Jeorge: ...Honestly, I don't think I've heard of this particular race.

Jake: Me neither. All I know is that they're huge and strong.

*An idea suddenly comes to Ryoko*

*With a hidden smirk, she manages to keep the other two from finding out*

Ryoko: Oh, they're vicious! They'll tear a man limb from limb if you give 'em a chance!

Jeorge: Huh...Despite that unpleasant old man, perhaps Ymir's earned his reputation as an "ogre."

Ryoko: Sngrrrk-choo! *Hides her suppressed laugh with sneeze* Sorry. Kinda cold.

Jake: Please, sugar, let me keep you warm. *Sidles up closer to her*

Ryoko: *Giggle* Oho~! Such a gentleman you are~!

Jeorge: *Sigh* Well. I suppose we'd better keep close to you, then?

Ryoko: ... *Forget catsmile; she almost gets an entire catface - Complete with whiskers and feline eyes - At her next nefarious idea* Hee.

Jeorge: Hm? Are you about to sneeze agai - *Finds himself yanked into Ryoko's other side*

Ryoko: Ymir is incredibly dangerous! You two had better stay like this the whole way!

Jake: Heh. No complaints on my part! I'll protect you from the cold, and you protect me from this "Ymir."

Ryoko: I love what we can accomplish when we work together~!

Jeorge: *Sigh* And these two helped save all of Rhadan...

*They fall silent while walking further up the mountain*

Ryoko: *Barely contains the glee at her success*

*All around, the mist grows thicker...*

Ynot: Glad to be back. Though my crew is going to take awhile to reappear. The Ironclad was under heavy siege when this red skinned human grabbed me and I found myself here...
*Looks around*

Ynot: Where is here anyway? Ive been deus ex machina'd so many tim#s its redicilas. Also, if youd be so kind to brief me on the situation, id like to punch something. Prefferably of the god tier status. Ive been sitting in my creators mind for far to long.
***
*Shika appears next to Shroom*
Shika: If it is knowlledge you seek, Im sure I know where you can find your answer. Ask and I shall show.
*Realizes Shroom has no idea who Shika is*
Shika: My appologies, my name is Shika, your friendly neighborhood omnipresent and knowing virus.

*D-Klak and Klak exclaim*

Both: "YNOT! YOU'RE ALIVE!!!"

Nadle: "Good to see you, old fellow! Ah, yes, well, a warlord named Uterio has declared war on the entire universe. He is being backed by the Great Beings, and has committed atrocities on several worlds, including Malchior IV."

DK: "You're right. I checked the Intergalactic News Network now, and it seems that several planets have been attacked. Multiple other governments have pledged allegiance to him, while the rest plan on meeting to discuss future affairs. Some systems haven't even bothered, since they seem to think that he won't touch them."

Me: We're planning a counterattack with Zev. I'm tired of playing defense.

DK: "Are you in, Ynot?"

*A shadow appears behind Klak, and covers his own shadow*

*Only Zev can hear F-Klak's laughter*
---

*Keichi and Quick Billy are running through a part of the icy world*

Keichi: "That battle had better not $&@$& up our exit."

QB: "Yea. Um, Keich, you sure about leaving Treskis with Treveya? She is an assassin, after all."

Keichi: "Treskis could snap her like a twig, then use her as toilet paper. So I'm not worried at all."

OOS: I love how Zev's uber-long posts have made this topic completely and utterly unreadable on my crappy mobile.

Not a complaint, just an observation.

*in the Exo-Force universe, some silver robots shove wires up MK's nose*

Meca One: *with headphones on* You will tell me what I wish to know. *pushes a button, causing MK to hear an extremely high-pitched noise*

-----

*in the burning wreckage of wherever Yon was being held, Blackout stands over a wounded ItsWalky*

Blackout: I require only the answer to one question: Where is the one called Yon?

ItsWalky: And why would I tell you that?

*behind Blackout, buildings begin exploding*

Blackout: Would you like me to repeat the question?

ItsWalky: The Fellowship took him! We attacked them with our spheres, but the King teleported them away!

Blackout: Thank you. *teleports away*

-----

*on some random planet, a portal opens, and a man who looks like this emerges*

OOS: Yeah, I've been watching Fringe lately.

Oos : Fringe ftw

Ynot: am I in? What kind of silly question its that? Just said I wanted to punch someone! Of course. Now, I assume by the fact that you are alligned with Zev, we are near him? Cause that crazy human was straight line teleporting, not with a destination in mind, so changing her direction was easy enough.

OOS: What's Fringe? Apart from the hair on your forehead, obviously.

*The Vassilan ships become visible on the Nakamura's radar*

Robot: Sir, I have detected a small number of ships on intercept course.

*Serecio walks over and looks at the dots on the screen*

Serecio: Malchioran?

Robot: ... No, sir. They are of unrecognised origin.

Serecio: So they don't belong to us. Hmm... Well, destroy them then!

Robot: Powering aft turrets.

*The robot slides some buttons on the touch screen, and the turrets on the Nakamura's exterior swivel round to face the Vassilan ships*

-------------------------

On board Vassilan ship 1:

*A rookie walks over to the mission commander, who has a bright red insignia on his jacket*

Rookie: Sir, they've powered up their turrets.

MC: Yes, I can see. Aim at the turrets, and fire on my command.

Rookie: Yessir. *He goes over to a control screen*

MC: Mm... Fire!

*The rookie presses a big red button on the screen, and laser blasts are fired at the Nakamura's turrets*

OOS: Ynot, Klak IS with Zev.

DK: "Darn these forums. They're never clear."

Me: Zev, we need allies first. Do you know of any armies we can win over to our side?

Nadle: "We need to send a spy out as well. Perseus's cover has been blown."

DK: "Where is he?"

*Perseus walks in*

Perseus: "I'm sorry, I needed to speak with a contact I have in Uterio's army. He apparently still thinks I'm on his side. Anyways, the tyrant is celebrating all his newest victories."

DK: "Then I should infiltrate the place and assassinate Uterio. The chaos that ensues will cause the Great Beings to withdraw their forces."

Me: But....

DK: "Uterio once taught me that to kill a massive python, one must first cut off it's head. It's a metaphor. In case I ever had to fight any huge armies."

Me: I still think we need a larger and stronger army. The Malchiorians took a beating, and I doubt they'd want to keep fighting alone.

Nadle: "At least you have all of us now, and Zev."

*The shadow from my last post continues cackling in Zev's ear.*
---

*MK struggles in his seat*

MK: I thought I told you everything. But then again, tyrants never have enough. What do you want?!

---

*A Malchiorian with a white beard is in a room inside of a fortress*

*in front of him is a window looking out into a city, while several Ensigns are working around him*

ENsign: "Sir, we have reports of a Vassilan ship passing close to our neighboring Icy Planet. They are engaging the attackers."

???: "Good. Keep watch on them. If they dare attack our allies, we shall destroy them."

*A Nynrah Ghost walks in, with a green circle around the eye-holes in his mask*

Ghost: "You ought to...try......the water here...."

???: "What the-"

*the Nynrah ghost savagely jumps on the Malchiorian, scratching at his face. The Ensigns and soldiers scramble to protect him, but soon find 2 other Nynrah Ghosts and a buff Malchiorian attacking them, forcing some of them to drink the water*

[ Shroom & co's room: ]

Shroom: Worth a try, I guess.

*Moss looks over at Shroom, still admiring her hair*

Moss: You're gonna try and find it? Nice, there are loads of secrets in that book, apparently~

Shroom: That's what everyone says, at least.

*He sighs, and gives Moss a look that is pretty unknown as an emotion on Shroom's face*

Shroom: Oh, and I like how your hair looks, by the way.

*Both Draak'ha and Moss, evident by their constant giggles, are quite satisfied with themselves*

Moss: You know, I have never seen another Mole woman that isn't covering her entire body.

Draak'ha: There's more then one reason that Mole women cover their entire head~

Moss: So Mole men don't get distracted?

Draak'ha: Exactly.

[ In the space around the Icy Planet: ]

*The fire from the Vassilan ships' blasters hits the Nakamura, causing some small explosions and disabling a turret*

Serecio: Whoever they are, they just made a big mistake.

*Serecio gets out his control tablet again and presses some buttons. Immediately, a few space-adapted Blade Dragons snap to attention and fly towards the Vassilan ships. Within seconds, they reach them, and rip the cockpits off of two of the ships*

Vassilan Mission Commander: What the-? *over comm* Deploy the drones!

*The drones detach from the Vassilan ships, and using foot jets, fly around the Blade Dragons and start punching and kicking them*

---------------------------

[ The Icy Planet's surface: ]

*Muta, Vorahk-Kah, Yon and Trantoshen all point their weapons at each other*

Trantoshen: Agh. Look, none of us know where we are, and we probably have to work together to get back. Okay?

*Muta, V-K and Yon all glance at each other and, nodding, lower their weapons. Yon makes a hissing noise*

*V-K grabs his staff back from Yon*

V-K: Thank you.

Trantoshen: Wait... there's a noise up ahead. Sounds like voices.

*Two figures become visible through the snow, and as they come nearer, are revealed to be Keichi and Quick Billy*

Trantoshen: Oh... hello?

Oos: really? The way I read it, you were near him, but not in his immidiate area. Guess I misread.
Also, what happened to Makuta Ynot? Last I remember, him and MK were evicted, but it seems MK was captured

Ynot: If allies are needed, I think I might be able to round up a few. Though my friend Gazelle has passed away, his descendants honor me. Together, they might total a thousand. The catch is that none have ever left their planet.

*Thinkd about how long its been since hed seen his friend*

Ynot: Mata Nui, Im old...

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: *Abruptly speaks* My hearing is good as ever, you obnoxious paradox.

*His eyes abruptly flash, and F-Klak finds his head filled with a pain of such searing magnitude that he's temporarily blinded*

Zev: I've wrapped this room in ten layers of wards, and I've wrapped each ward in further enchantments. You can get your presence in fine, but the real fun is making you regret it.

*The sound of a thunderclap magnified to the tenth power resounds through F-Klak's head*

Zev: Never you mind guys. I like to fight tricks with tricks.

*Afterwards, he strokes his chin in deep thought*

Zev: ...Mom can probably get a couple of drone fleets mobilized...Haruko can bring in the Stellar Patrol Fraternity...Ryoko and I can call in a number of favors...So could Kokonoe and a few others...

Vi: I can call in the Troika. Chrome and Xanxus could bring in the Vongola and Varia forces. Not to mention a few of their allies.

Zev: Excellent point. Then there's the recruitment errand I sent Ryoko on already...

Vi: We can figure out a plan in stealth with Zev's closed telepathy.

Zev: That way the Great and Powerful #sshole can't hear us.

*He pauses for a few moments, toying with a strand of hair*

Zev: ...I meant F-Klak by the way.

Vi: We know.

---

[ Bebop II, Cafeteria: ]

Prudence: You think so~?

*She remains in her place hugging Ynot*

Prudence: I dun think so~ *Nuzzle* *Nuzzle*

Jubei & Valkenhayn: *Chat quietly off to the side*

---

[ Unknown Room: ]

Hakumen: *Meditates silently*

Ed: *Gazes at him from the doorway, smiling*

Hakumen: *Ignores her totally*

--- --- ---

[ Grust, Rhadan: ]

Ryoko: *Snuggles between Jeorge and Jake*

*All is very quiet, before Jake decides to spark up conversation*

Jake: There still beasts in these mountains?

*Suddenly, growls begin to ripple up from lower down the mountain*

Jeorge: You had to ask. You had to ask.

Jake: I'm sorry, man! *Ducks away* My ballista wouldn't be a good idea here!

*While Ryoko charges a pair of energy orbs, Jeorge notches an arrow*

*They both wait for the optimal moment to strike*

*Eventually...*

???: GRAAAAAKKKHHH!!

*Three maned creatures that resemble huge rats crossed with lizards go tumbling back down the hill*

*However, a great number more begin to leap up the hill*

Ryoko & Jeorge: *Prepare to continue*

Jake: *Stays back*

*Quick Billy turns toward Muta*

QB: "We've got company."

Keichi: "They don't look like Tuskar...*sighs* I guess we could use them to get us out of here. But I'm not sharing any more wealth or spoils that Uterio gives us!"

QB: "Who goes there?"

---

*Nadle smiles at Ynot's age comment*

*his smile widens when he feels Zev attack F-Klak*

Perseus: "If you need help convincing them, Ynot, I'll go with you."

Me: F-Klak can hear us anyways.....he'll use his memory.

*the shade behind Klak screams and writhes in pain, and dies*

*F-Klak's stressed voice is heard by all of the occupants*

F-Klak: "Do you take me for a fool? Speak of your plans. I have no further use for Uterio."

Me: Whatever we discuss through this closed telepathy, make sure to erase from my memory after the war is over. Understand, Zev?

Perseus: "*changes topic* We seem to be mustering up quite the force. However, we need to confirm that these people can help us. Then, we can plot our attacks."

Nadle: "Right. It would not be wise to fight Uterio head on."

D-Klak: "I'm still doing the assassination mission."

Me: An incredibly stupid assassination mission.

Nadle: "You would have done the same with Caiaphus, Klak."

*Klak's eyes widen*

Me: Caiaphus. We could use Caiaphus.

Perseus: "Are you mad? Wasn't he the Makuta who trained both you and Nadle, and almost killed half the people in this room?!"

Nadle: "Do not try to alter fate. He is dead. He stays dead, Klak. You should instead call on the Shepherd."

Me: R-right....*mumbles to himself*
---

OOS: Waiting on B52.

*Muta opens his mouth to speak, but Trantoshen steps in front of him*

Trantohsen: My name is Trantoshen. We are... stranded warriors which have grouped together. Are you friends or foes of Uterio?

--------------------

*The space battle above the Icy Planet rages on, but the Vassila are finding themselves vastly outnumbered*

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: *Snaps his fingers* Of course!

Vi: What's your plan, Zev? Keep it within telepathy.

*With a smirk, Zev shares his idea to each of the others with a telepathic message*

- Lady Tokimi. -

Vi: ...Wow.

~ ~ ~

OOS: Will try to add more content.

Just got up.

Ynot: Not so much as convince, as acclimate them to the idea of leaving. Their planet has little technology, time seems to have skipped over it completely. Not sure if removing them from that environment would be advisable. I can only imagine what they perceived a metal monstrosity like me wanted with them. basically, what I'm worried about is Culture Shock.

*Looks down at Prudence*

Ynot: How are the metal spikes in my armor not impaling you?

-----

OOS: Hey Klak, you remember where I left Namine?

[ Bebop II, Cafeteria: ]

Prudence: Metal spikes?

*She looks down at the droplets of blood all over the floor beneath her feet*

Prudence: ...Aw, demmit. *Pouts, moving away from Ynot*

*With a sweep of her hand, she wraps herself in a restorative spell*

*The small puncture wounds are gone in no time*

Prudence: All better~!

--- --- ---

[ Rhadan, Grust: ]

*The beasts have mostly been killed*

*However, both Ryoko and Jeorge have a number of cuts on them*

*As Jake watches, he suddenly finds himself set upon by four of the remaining beasts*

Jake: Awww crap! *Tries to leap away, but a nip at his heel sends him tumbling onto his back*

*Every creature begins snapping its jaws as the pack centers on him*

Ryoko: Oh no!! *Tries to go after him* Gyah!! *Finds a pair of jaws snapped on her hand*

Jeorge: *Has been knocked over, his leg bleeding and unable to support him*

*The pack is just about to lunge together onto Jake when something can be felt approaching*

*Dropping from above, a gigantic humanoid - Around ten feet tall - Knocks the beasts away*


*He sets his cloth pack down and lifts out a huge warhammer*

*Two of the scaly, ratlike beasts lunge, but both are knocked away by the hammer*

*Easily taking the hint, each member of the pack escapes*

*Quietly setting his weapon back into the pack, the figure turns to Jake*

Jake: *Trembles* I...I guess...You're...Ymir...? *Gazes up at him wide-eyed*

Ryoko: *Keeps as inconspicuous as she can* ...Hmmm... *Appears a bit guilty*

*A movement from Ymir makes Jake give a flinch and a yelp*

Jake: Don't kill me!! *Tries to protect himself with both arms*

*However, he finds the huge hand gently lifting him to his feet*

Ymir: *Softly and slowly* Why would I kill you...? You didn't do anything to me...

Jake: ... *Turns slowly to look at Ryoko* ...Excuse me, Ryoko?

*Likewise, Jeorge has begun to limp over towards her with an angry look*

Ryoko: Aha! We~ll maybe I embellished on Ymir's character a bit...

Ymir: *Stares in deep thought as Ryoko is chastised*

*He slowly picks up his belongings again*

Ynot: Sorry for that, as you might guess, this new form is mostly for maiming, not hugging.

*Runes one the armor glow a mixture of Red and Blue, and the blood from Prudence leaves the armor and returns to it's owner*

Ynot: Cleaning this stuff is quite tedious, so I had these put on. Give me a second and I'll give you a proper hug...

*Ynot closes his eyes and the spikes retract and reappear as a pair of wings on his back*

Ynot: Gotta conserve this stuff, it's quite difficult to recreate.

*Gives Prudence her Proper hug*

[ Bebop II, Cafeteria: ]

Prudence: Thank you. *Nuzzle*

*Immediately after she releases Ynot, another figure lunges in*

*An incredibly powerful embrace surrounds Ynot*

Misaki: Ynot~! Zev has told me so much about you! I'm not sure if we've met. I'm his mother, Misaki!

*She remains hugging him tightly for a while*

Pitou: Don't hurt him, Misaki~

Ynot: Pretty sure you fought my first mate in that tournament a while ago. And a warm hello to you to, Pitou.

[ Bebop II, Cafeteria: ]

Pitou: Hello, Ynot. It's been a long time.

*He nibbles on a clawtip, expression unreadable as ever*

Misaki: *Releases Ynot at last* Tell me, how have you been? What have you been up to?

*She's obviously struggling to keep a secret to herself*

Tamao: *Sighs* Mother, please. Give Big Brother's friend some room.

Anna: Yes. He doesn't need smothered.

Misaki: Oh~ alright!

--- --- ---

[ Icy Planet's Orbit: ]

*Abruptly, a huge impact snaps one Blade Dragon's neck*

*The throats of two more are slashed open at an incredible speed*

*With incredible speed, the Shima Brothers jet back to increase their distance*

Hishima: Our Spacefaring Programs are holding. Keep close enough to the planet that our ship's command beacon can still reach us to maintain it.

Mushima: Right, brother. Although, it seems our mysterious friend is nearby - In a way...

Hishima: Hm? That thing? It must have been waiting above the planet this whole time...

Mushima: No, no, no...It's not the same. Whatever this is...It's something we'll have to watch out for.

Hishima: ...Right. Takashima, you keep this rogue factor out of the battle.

Takashima: Glah. *Jets in the direction of the reading Mushima had picked up*

Hishima: Mushima, stay close to me. We can't afford to lose you now.

Mushima: Neither can we lose you, brother.

*The robed brothers jet back into the battle between Serecio's forces & the Vassilan*

---

[ Nearby, Same Orbit: ]

Takashima: Glah. *Has reached the source of the reading*

*Yet there is not a single being in sight all around him*

Takashima: *Prepares to leave* ...Glah!? *Finds a blast of purple energy impacting him from above*

*In a crackle of energy, he's warped away to an unknown location*

???: *Giggles in a female voice* We can't have that.

*She begins gathering assymetrical panels of crackling white metal around her*

???: Lessee...What should I do to even this up...? Hee hee~!

*Her fingers begin dancing across the panels*

~ ~ ~

OOS: Might add more later.

I'unno.

*Quick Billy's eyes widen*

Keichi: "Honestly....he doesn't even know we exist yet. But he will soon. What about you?"

*Quick Billy's hands swing by his pistol's holster*

---

*D-Klak's eyes widen*

DK: "That....sounds like an okay idea."

Me: I don't know who she is.

*Perseus crosses his arms*

Perseus: "Dealing with a culture shock is difficult, but one of my knights may be be able to assuage it. Do they know that the Great Beings exist?"

*Nadle stays silent*

---

*Meanwhile, in the future, F-Klak has finished recovering*

FK: "Very good....technology......" *he raises his hands, and Namine appears* "I hope you finished practicing with your Keyblade Glider. If not, that's fine.....You have a new assignment. In order to be a Keyblade Master, and an Organization member, you need be a good errand girl."

*Striborg steps out of the shadows*

*This time, however, his armor is red, his wings look demonic, his skin is pale, and his hair is white.*
*Striborg's red eyes stare at Namine*

FK: "Striborg will assist you. However, he has been rendered unable to speak after the......experiments of my scientists."

*Striborg grunts*

Ynot: It has(Addressing Pitou), and I have been well.(addressing Misaki) How's that Master been treating you? (Pitou) And I've been fighting the good fight(Misaki). Thank you very much(Tamao). And not at all(D-Klak).

*Ynot blurrs, creating two versions of himself, one blue, one red, then the two return to one*

Ynot: You should have seen the guy that thought he could out smart me with that technique. Greatest look I've ever seen. Attacking a guy who, on the regular, will kill hoards of canon fodder in a single shot, priceless. So, how have you all been? i know there are a few faces here I don't recognize.

*Twists the ring on his finger to release Fedele, who is considerably larger, and has a scar over his left eye, though the eye itself is uninjured*

[ Bebop II, Cafeteria: ]

Pitou: The king is doing well. He's conquered a couple of Galaxies.

*Tail curling around, he turns his gaze over to Fedele with curiosity*

Pitou: This is the Leone di Tempesta Zev made, hmmm...? No need to show me, but how have you trained G.'s Archery?

Misaki: *Looks ready to burst with excitement*

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: *Continues his telepathic message*

- Lady Tokimi is one of the Chousin. Their power is unbelieveable. -

- We might also be able to get the help of Lady Tsunami. Together, they would be more than a match for the powers of the Great Beings. -

- All of Reality save for perhaps the Hyperdimension is under the protection of the Chousin. -

- I just hope Tokimi doesn't - AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!! -

Zev: AAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!! *Falls back, clutching his head*

Vi: Zev, what's wrong!? *Tries to comfort him*

*The space of the room turns monochrome, before unravelling into black*

*A new surroundings appear - The swirling blue, orange, and green space of Tokimi's dimension*

*Pillars of stone float all around, and a massive altar hovers at the 'center'*

*From behind said altar rises up a huge silhouette*

Tokimi: ...Zev Raregroove, it is not your place to combat the Great Beings.

Zev: *Remains clutching at his head, eyes rolled back* ...!! *Twitches violently*

Tokimi: Whether I and my sisters intervene will not be decided by your power. In cases like Uterio's war, you are meant to observe and record what happens. Nothing more.

*Abruptly, Zev's eyes return to their places and his spasms cease; his chest heaves with strained panting*

Tokimi: ...Yet as Uterio has endangered the Architect's work...We permit you to fight. You are not allowed to die.

*In a flash, everything is back to normal and the group is back in the same room as before*

Zev: *Pant* ...Well... *Pant* Alright...Then... *Pant* *Pant*

Vi: ... *Rests Zev's head in her lap*

Ynot: Indeed, I have, haven't managed to make my own technique yet, though. Fedele refuses to let me try until I meet some absurd conditions.

Fedele: *Growl*

Ynot: Yes, yes, I know. I feel it. Perseus, I don't think my friends are going to be much help after all. A friend of mine has just filled me in completely on what would happen. I suppose that's one of the advantages of living out side time and space...******* thinks he knows everything. So that plan down the crapper, who thinks they have a better one?

OOS: In case its not clear, Shika is relaying info to Ynot.

[ Bebop II, Cafeteria: ]

Pitou: I see...Perhaps I can help.

*Getting up, he strolls over to Ynot*

Pitou: Some of my abilities are suited to what you need. But only if it's fine by you~

*His smile reveals no hint of whether his intentions are true*

Misaki: *Is still trying to hide a secret*

Tamao: *Stares at her* Are you...Well, mother?

Misaki: Mm-hm...! *Nods shakily*

Tamao: ... *Sigh* Very well.

Ynot: Tempting, but no thank you. Training is something I take seriously. If Fedele insists I do something, it's probably because he believes it necessary. That, or he's screwing with me. Either way, it's all fun.

*Ynot's wrist beeps*

Ynot: Hmm, it seems my crew isn't dead. Give me a second here

*Moments later*

Ynot: Good news, my crew, despite heavy damage to the ship is ah-okay. those guys can survive anything, I swear. So, that in mind, what say we come up with a way to take this fight to Uterio's door step? In my experience, a good fist to the face usually does wonders to change someones mind. Unfortunately, as Shika keeps reminding me, we don't have his fleet to use as a battering ram to get there, as most of them have been destroyed, the others heavily damaged

[ Bebop II, Cafeteria: ]

Pitou: ...My king might be willing to help.

*He fails to keep a slight hint of unsurety out of his voice*

*Eventually, he turns his gaze towards Misaki with obvious curiosity*

Pitou: Misaki. What is it that's got you in such a state?

Misaki: *Tremble* Well...I had been waiting for Ynot and his crew to meet us again...But...

*She abruptly lifts up a massive tower of objects wrapped in gaily-colored papers and ribbons*

Misaki: I don't want to start handing gifts out until all of his friends are here~!

Tamao: *Gawks* Mother, where in the Universe were you keeping all of those!?

Misaki: Tee hee. It's a secret~ *Sets them back to wherever she got them*

*From nearby, a pair of figures stand apart quite nervously*

Pitou: ...Do you girls want to introduce yourselves?

Chrome & Wisp: *Jump in unison and both answer* N...Not if Ynot doesn't want us to...

*They're both clearly as shy as ever*

Pitou: So be it~ I'm up for some training. Who's in?

*He gazes around*

Ynot: That is very kind of you Mrs. Raregroove. I will insist that group of hooligans arrive post haste to partake in the festivities. As for the moment, I do believe I will join Pitou in his training. Perhaps I will be able to get the last of my objectives for Fedele copmleted.

*Follows the Neko*

[ Bebop II, A Training Room: ]

*The room has been set to a barren desert*

Pitou: *Grins, crouching down low* Feel free to attack.

*His thigh muscles begin to bulge incredibly*

Misaki: I hope they have fun~ Tee hee!

Chrome: *Remains totally silent*

Wisp: *Also keeps silent*

[ Grust, Rhadan: ]

*The group is currently in a large hut*

Ymir: *Stares down at his hands, folded in his lap*

Jake: *Mutters* We've been sitting here for almost an hour.

Ryoko: *Leans over* That's the thing about a Goliath - They're the longest-lived race on Rhadan. A Goliath will spend as much time as he needs to think about the consequences of his actions.

Jeorge: That's becoming apparent... *Sigh* Will he take much longer?

Ryoko: I dunno. Sometimes it goes by quicker than this has. Sometimes it takes a few days.

Jeorge: Wonderful. *Bows his head dejectedly* Uterio must yet be on the march...

Ymir: *Abruptly yet slowly speaks* I've decided...

*All of the others jump to attention*

Ymir: ...I shall help you.

Jake: Alright! Thanks, big guy!

Ymir: Just give me time to gather my equipment.

Ryoko: You got it! Let's go~!

*She, Jake, and Jeorge warp away*

Ymir: *Sits in silence*

[ Space Station, Contained Space: ]

*Within the contained space, the sky is dark*

*Snowflakes of purest white fall to layer the ground*

*A figure is slashing at a number of rapidly-moving targets with a green energy blade*

*From an illuminated doorway just above the ground nearby, a female appears*

*She has a supple figure, with mostly-pale skin and long, fairly spikey, silver-lavender hair in a long ponytail; as well as two large locks framing her face. A high-tech black eyepatch with an upside-down triangle of metal studs covers her left eye, while assymetrical, semi-polygonal shapes circle around the outer half of that eye. The young woman wears a sable mantle over an indigo full-bodysuit, with a golden belt as well as black gloves and kneeheight boots. Lastly, some kind of blade is sheathed on her left hip*

???: Master, the scan is complete. We've located both Ryoko and Washu. However, Washu is surrounded by a number of dangerous individuals who would be best avoided. Including... *Gulp* ...Jurai's First Prince. I've also contacted Uterio to tell him that we've retrieved the artifact we were sent for.

*With one last slash, the training drones are dismissed and the man lowers his blade of green energy*

???: Excellent, Suzuka. I knew I could count on you. Prepare our ship to pursue Ryoko.

*His tenor voice causes his female assistant to blush slightly*

Suzuka: Y-yes, master. *Rushes off to do as he says*

???: *Quietly* Hm...The Juraian Prince, eh? He'll surely be far stronger than ever before...

*His blade is raised again slightly as he continues his monologue*

???: But I've not been twiddling my thumbs ever since Uterio completed my revival.

*The dark clouds of his training room briefly allow a shaft of light to reveal himself*


???: I hope no one's forgotten how the most ferocious villains and the greatest of heroes alike were once frozen with fear at just a mention of the name "Ruins Buster Kagato."

*A chuckle escapes him as the energy blade disappears and he turns to leave*

Kagato: Ah well. Those who've forgotten me will just need their memories jogged a bit.

*He exits the room with one last short laugh*

Ynot: Hmm, if this is your idea of training, you would probably get along quiet well with a Shinigami Captain I know. Prick loves deserts. But anyway, this will please Fedele quiet well.

*Summons G's Archery*

Ynot: I do hope you are as fast as you were. If not, this is going to sting, a lot.

*Fires his first arrow*

[ Bebop II, Training Room: ]

Pitou: *Leaps explosively*

*He goes flipping right over the course of the arrow*

*Coming down, his right hand is surrounded in a faint, flickering aura*

Pitou: *Swings claw towards Ynot*

[ Viewing Area: ]

Misaki: I knew they'd have fun~

Tamao: Mother, please be a little more quiet...

Wisp & Chrome: *Still silent*

*Klak shakes his head*

Me: At least we tried....

DK: "Pitou mentioned that he knew someone. And I'm sure that all the other allies that you mentioned are good enough, Zev."

Perseus: "Strategically speaking, perhaps. But Uterio's army is massive. Massive. You know his resources D-Klak. He is the leader of the Knights of the Great Beings, for Pete's sake."

Nadle: "And now he leads the largest army this universe will ever know."

---

*In front of Kagato, a spider-like robot walks out of a portal*

*a hologram forms, and Set is seen*

Set: "I hear things are going well. Uterio is pretending to celebrate with his men. But I know he is planning something. We'll be shipping troops to a planet soon. Do you need any reinforcements?"

---

*A soldier runs up to Uterio, who is sitting at a table inside a wonderfully decorated room*

*he whispers something, and Uterio smiles*

Uterio: "Very interesting indeed. Serecio is quite the comrade. *thinks to himself* And he completely believes in this contingency. "

---

*F-Klak smiles*

FK: "Namine, are you alright?"
OOS: I wonder if Addy will post soon. Praepositus should be in this.

*Vorahk-Kah forms an energy ball in his right hand*

Trantoshen: We are against him, and-

Muta: Stop. Who's Uterio again?

V-K: Just what I was thinking.

Yon: And me...

*Trantoshen turs to them*

Trantoshen: Well you should know, V-K. You were at the Battle of Malchior IV with me!

V-K: Hmm... Oh! He is the mastermind behind this invasion, isn't he?

Trantoshen: *sigh* Yes. Look, you three. You might not be certain who this guy is, but he has a massive invasion force bent on taking over the multiverse. Unless you want to be slaughtered when they arrive here, I suggest we all band together and set up a defence. Okay?

V-K: ...Fine.

Muta: Sounds like a plan, Toa.

Yon: Agh! I never volunteered for this!

Trantoshen: Well, you don't have much choice.

*He turns back to Keichi and QB*

Trantoshen: So yes, we are against Uterio. Does that make you allies... or enemies?

[ The Nakamura's bridge, in the space above the Icy Planet: ]

Serecio: What?! Who are they?

*Mushima and Hishima are displayed on the viewscreen fighting*

Robot: I cannot get a database match on them, sir.

Serecio: Ugh, nevermind. Just... use the turrets and blow them to hell!

Robot: Yes, sir.

*The turrets on the exterior of the Nakamura swivel round to face them, and fire. The blasts narrowly miss them and hit a Blade Dragon instead*

-------------------------------

[ Atuar Sadiares: ]

*SM Yon hurries down the corridor, and sees Lan. He slams Lan against the wall*

SM Yon: You betrayed us... I should kill you right now.

Lan: If you do, the Terugan authorities will just have another excuse to out you on trial.

*Some of Vok's guards emerge from both ends of the corridors*

Lan: Let me go, and I will make things easier for you.

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Vi: Size of an army doesn't always decide the fight.

Hakumen: *Still meditates*

Ed: *Continues to watch him from the door*

Hakumen: *Turns head towards her and curtly speaks* Whisperer.

Ed: Mm-hah? *Perks up as Hakumen speaks to her*

Hakumen: Why do you remain so close to me? Surely you cannot find me pleasant?

Ed: You're a nice guy. An' Ed likes nice guys! *Giggle*

*All of the red orbs on Hakumen's body swivel towards Ed*

Hakumen: ... *Sigh* I do not understand your logic, but very well.

*He goes back to meditating in silence*

Ed: *Watches quietly*

[ Space Station, Small Ship: ]

Kagato: No, no, Set. I appreciate the offer, but that won't be necessary.

*Gently patting a large, wrapped objecct, he gives a chuckle*

Kagato: We'll get our prize back to the main forces just fine.

Suzuka: Master. The Warp Drive is fully-charged.

Kagato: Good. *Turns back* Anything else, Set?

[ Icy Planet's Orbit: ]

Hishima: *Is partially driven aside by the blasts*

*Quickly righting himself, though, he proceeds to grab a Blade Dragon by the tail*

*Spinning and spinning rapidly, he hurls the beast straight towards the Nakamura*

*Without air resistance, the beast's velocity quickly picks up*

Hishima & Mushima: *Both pull back a significant distance*

*They prepare to charge back in*

[ Elsewhere In Orbit: ]

???: Aha~! *Giggle*

*She proceeds to "type" in a command on the metallic panels*

???: My objective is to test master's security...But this will be good practice~!

*In time, she's drawn close to cracking the Nakamura's security*

???: A minor virus should do~

[ The Nakamura's bridge: ]

*Serecio sees the Blade Dragon heading rapidly towards the Nakamura*

Serecio: These two are gifted...

*He gets up and presses some buttons on his gauntlet. He then aims at the wall*

Robot: Sir, I would not recommend using the guantlet on the bridge-

Serecio: Quiet. I know what I'm doing.

*He fires a big energy burst at the wall, but it disappears shortly before it makes contact. It then reappears in space and hits the incoming Blade Dragon, throwing it off course*

Serecio: I think the self-activating portal matrix I built into this works quite well, don't you?

*The robot doesn't comment*

OOS: Gotta cut this short now, haven't got much time.

OOS: Happy Father's Day!

*Keichi smiles devilishly*

Keichi: "That's quite sad. I was planning to strike a deal with the Generalissimo Uterio. I would have hoped you were interested in the same."

QB: "Quite the shame."

*Keichi takes out a laser rifle, and Quick Billy his pistol*

Keichi: "We can't let you run around ruining his plans now, can we? So we gotta #@@# up your faces a bit."

*they begin shooting*

*Set smiles, and the hologram disappears*

*the spider explodes*

*Klak nods*

Me: Right. We also need bravery and willpower. Our enemies have powers that are beyond ours. Some of them can eviscerate entire armies.

Nadle: "So could Blackout, but none of us are afraid of him."

*Klak smiles*

Me: True.

DK: "Speaking of Blackout, I wonder where he is. He's probably starting to rethink whatever alliance he had with the 'Generallissimo'."

*They all begin to chuckle*

Nadle: "Zev, Vi, what do you suggest we do next?"

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: Your thoughts, Vi?

Vi: ...I think we should try to target some of Uterio's distant strongholds.

*She strokes at her chin a bit, before continuing*

Vi: Hit-and-run guerrilla warfare on his bases with a number of possible armies will force Uterio to split up, as well. We have at least seven current members of the Bebop II who could take on whole armies. Zev, Misaki, Tamao, Pitou, Ryoko, Haruko, and Xanxus. Not to mention how powerful the Varia is, let alone how strong the Vongola Guardians are...Then, there's the stronger members of our other groups. We just have to plan a series of coordinated strikes precisely.

*Turning her gaze to Zev, she peers at his face*

Vi: ...Whaddya think, Raregroove? You think you could kick Uterio's @ss?

Zev: Would you like 'broken bones' @sskicking or 'beaten and bloody' @sskicking?

Vi: Heh. Exactly what I like to hear.

Hishima: Hmm...Impressive firepower.

*Quick as a flash, he lunges out and rips a Blade Dragon's throat open*

Mushima: *Fatally slashes a Blade Dragon as well*

*They prepare to continue*

*Ynot leans back to avoid his claws, firing off an arrow at point blank*

Ynot: I remember the analysis you did of my tactics. You were expecting me to get clear before attacking from a distance, werent you?

*Jumps back a good yard or two*

Ynot: Ive always been adaptive to opponents.

*A few experimental movements show his arm still moves*

Pitou: Not bad, Ynot. *Crouches down again*

*Thigh muscles bulging even larger than before, his back arches slightly*

Pitou: *Lunges with far greater speed* Nya. *Suddenly kicks down*

*He goes flipping right over Ynot, before bouncing off with another kick*

*Bouncing around rapidly, he abruptly stops in place right above Ynot*

Pitou: *Kicks off the air itself, spearing himself straight down*

*Claws nearing Ynot, his pupils widen...*

Shroom: *Looks to Shika* Does anyone else see that?

*The Yerta look at each other*

Rabot: Hmm... Toa Seal.

The others: Right.

*All six of them fire their elemental powers at the space in front of them, until it forms a silvery substance floating in mid-air. It then hits the KoN and traps him inside*

*Rabot sits down and takes a deep breath*

Rabot: That's another supervillain under control.

*There is a beeping noise, and what looks like a blue stud is flashing on his arm. He presses it and a hologram of a human is projected out of it*

???: Attention Toa Yerta! We have reports that a people called the 'Great Beings' have summoned an army and are wanting to take over the multiverse some few thousand light years away. We'll send a trans-warp ship down to take you there and investigate. Don't worry Yerta, it's probably nonsense, but we need to make sure. Admiral Zicks out.

*As soon as the hologram disappears, a spacecraft's engine is heard, and within a few minutes, two ships land a few metres away from them. They are white and blue and one has only just enough room to fit all of them in. The door at the side of the first one opens and a purple-skinned humanoid leans over to greet them*

???2: Hello. Get in.

*The Yerta clamble inside, the hatch closes and the ship takes off. After breaking orbit, they go into trans-warp and the KoN is loaded onto the second ship by another alien*

Perseus: "I know a few strongholds similar to the ones you are mentioning, Vi. One of them happens to be on a planet near something called "Impel Down."

Me: Hm. Seems like destiny takes us to the same places over and over again.

DK: "Or the writer of this post just didn't know what planet to make up."

*Everyone feels the fourth wall being broken once more*

Perseus: "There are several others."

*Perseus takes out a map*

Perseus: "As soon as our campaign on Malchior ended, we were to be shipped to the planet near Impel Down. I know of other locations that could possibly become new strongholds. Especially the home of the Knights of Keruvim."

DK: "They have the guts to go there. But I think they'll have to handle Belidandy if they even try ruining the forest."

Nadle: "Alright. We should set coordinates for Impel Down, and sack the stronghold."

DK: "Uterio is partying. So my assassination mission will be easy. *puts on the hood of his cowl.* This Kestora can kick some butt, you know."

Perseus: "It's a suicide mission.....but it just might work....."
