The pair made their way slowly up the outside of the building. As they went to the triangle jumping segment, Chrysalis felt she needed to raise a question. "So...I can't fly as far as I can normally because of game balancing."
"That's right," Deadpool agreed.
"Except...instead of wall jumping like you do, I get extra flying height."
"That's also right."
"So how come we can't triangle jump height fly all the time?" Cray-Chry demanded. "Science Chrysi! Explain?"
Stuffalis was silent for a moment. "Only if you stop referencing Moonstuck."
"But Woona is adorable!" Cray-Chry and Crazy said together.
Stuffalis groaned in frustration. "They added air vents to all the jump slots," she pointed out. "We're riding them to take the weight off our wings."
Chrysalis looked down, finally noticing the current of air that carried her up exactly the height of the jump shaft. "Oh. Neat."
When it came time to get back into the building, Chrysalis cast a pool of green fire onto the elevator doors and walked through it while Deadpool forced the doors open.
"We could probably use that spell to attack enemies through walls!" Cray-Chry pointed out eagerly.
"Only if the player buys the upgrade," Stuffalis countered. "It's one of our mine type spell weapons."
Their path eventually took them back outside the building. "Question!" Chrysalis spoke up again.
"Answer!" Deadpool replied readily.
"How come there's ammo pickups scattered around for weapons we couldn't possibly have enough points to buy yet?" she asked. "Is there a new game plus mode?"
"Ooh, need to tell High Moon to add that!" Deadpool cackled.
When they reached the roof, Chrysalis demonstrated her close range stealth kill. Sneaking up behind the guard, she leaned in and whispered, "Boo!" right in his ear. As he spun, she ripped his throat out with her teeth. "Snack time!" she said happily as she swallowed the torn chunk of flesh as the guard collapsed.
"That is too adorable," Deadpool pointed out.
Not long after, Chrysalis used her points to unlock her first bomb weapon spell. Lobbing a small sphere of fire in a forward parabolic arc, it rolled along the ground, drawing attention before it exploded.
"Aside from the usual number of castings and money for kills upgrades, that one can also be upgraded for size of explosion and shininess," Stuffalis explained.
"So...shiny!" Crazy drooled.
"Wade, please tell this idiot not to suggest trying to pick up the armed explosive spell," Stuffy pleaded.
"So...shiny!" Deadpool drooled.
There was a resounding smack as Stuffy and Stuffalis facepalmed and facehooved respectively.
As they continued onward, Deadpool decided to raise a question he had. "So...other than being so cute, how'd they rebalance you to make it interesting to play you?" he asked. "I mean, sure, cuteness and the different attack types might be enough...but some players will want some more variety."
"Hang on, I've got the character specs here somewhere..." Stuffalis flipped a few papers. "Let's see...the changes to base stats for us relative to you...lower health, less time without taking damage before regeneration kicks in...shorter combat teleport range, more teleports before we have to recharge...higher speed and evasion, lower attack and defense...more upgrades available, which cost less, averaging out to needing the same amount to max all abilities and stats...and max stats have the same relative balance against your max stats."
"Sounds like someone actually put thought into that," Stuffy pointed out.
"Yeah. All of five seconds."
At that point, a helicopter began attacking them.
"Time to try the co-op maneuver?" Chrysalis begged.
Grinning, Deadpool picked Chrysalis up, jumped as high and as far as he could, added a teleport jump, and then threw her at the chopper. Chrysalis buzzed her wings as hard as she could, clearing the last distance to land hoof-blade first through the neck of the gunman who had been shooting them from the chopper.
Deadpool immediately teleported to her side. "That was awesome!" he shouted happily.
"Now we have Quick Time Events!" Crazy agreed eagerly.
"Can I fly the chopper, Daddy?" Chrysalis begged.
Grinning, Deadpool grabbed the minigun. "Go nuts!"
"Whee!" Chrysalis shouted happily, hurling the pilot out the window. "Ooh! So many buttons!"
"Something tells me we're going to regret this..."
One massive kill streak and fiery explosion of choppers colliding with each other and a building later, Deadpool and Chrysalis shook themselves off as they stood up in the penthouse. "Almost there!" Deadpool said happily.
"When we're done, can we get ice cream?" Chrysalis asked.
Deadpool pulled out his phone. "Yo, Yoggy! Make sure High Moon gives Chrysalis end-of-level ice cream-" There was unearthly muttering from the other end of the line. "Oh, you already got that for both of us?" More muttering. "Hand fed to us by nubile young maidens?" More muttering. "Green skinned alien nubile young maidens? Yoggy, if you had lips, I could kiss you right now!"
Chrysalis bounced happily back and forth as Deadpool hung up the phone. "Ice cream! Ice cream! Ice creeeeaaam!!!"
"We should probably remind the player to buy some upgrades with all those points from the slaughter outside," Stuffy pointed out.
"Let's see..." Stuffalis began. "Our next shaped weapon is...body spines? Low damage, high speed?"
Grinning, Chrysalis focused her powers. Small spikes erupted all over her body. Quick swipes of legs would tear at enemy flesh, with a combo finisher of rolling into a ball and spinning.
"Sonic eat your heart out!" Deadpool laughed.
"And deprive Chrysi of a treat?" Crazy whined.
As they continued onward, the big wig they were after spoke over the intercom. "You can't get me!" he growled. "My panic room is Deadpool proof!"
"I'd like to test that," Deadpool countered.
"Umm..." Chrysalis began. "His security cameras did show me walking through walls earlier, didn't they?"
"...crap..." the voice over the loud speakers whimpered.
Not long after that, a rather large enemy leaped in through the window, carrying a massive rocket launcher.
"Time for a new player upgrade!" Chrysalis said happily, racing forward.
"Chrysi, watch out!" Deadpool yelled out as the behemoth leveled the weapon at her.
Before the foe could pull the trigger, Chrysalis' magic surrounded the weapon, yanking it from his hands. "Disarming, isn't it?" she asked, sending a rocket straight into her foe's mouth.
"...what?" Deadpool asked in shock.
"Weapon struggle," Stuffy explained. "When fighting a foe that will drop its weapon for us to pick up when killed, Chrysalis can use her magic to attempt to take the weapon before killing him, and then kill him with the weapon."
Deadpool began clapping. "Nice! Say, there's gonna be another of these guys soon. Can I use that one until he shows up?"
Grinning, Chrysalis passed The Solution over to Deadpool.
"Suh-weet!" Deadpool proclaimed eagerly.
One massive rampage later, the pair approached the panic room. "So...how much C4 is this going to take?" Deadpool wondered.
"Wrong question," Chrysalis replied. "The correct question is, how much C4 can we attach to the door for the biggest explosion?"
"Chrysi, I love you!" Deadpool cried happily as he covered the door in C4.
After beating their target up for a bit, they crashed through the window, falling down into the sewers where they landed safely on the bounce castle.
"That was fun!"
"Do it again! Do it again!"
"Hey look, our ice cream!" Chrysalis called, pointing.
Turning, Deadpool saw, as promised, two green skinned, alien, nubile young maidens approaching them with ice cream sundaes. However, they weren't entirely what he expected. He pulled out his phone. "Say, Yoggy...about the ice cream maidens...where did you hire- ...oh, they're your daughters? Volunteered for this to meet us?" After a time, Deadpool hung up. "...well, that explains a lot," he murmured as a slithery green tentacle lifted a spoon of ice cream to his lips.
More for Cryssie than Deadpool.
Uh...wow...that was...unexpected.
I'll say
less
Body spines are undoubtedly similar to Deadpool's sai weapon.
It slices! It dices! It chicken-fried rices!
Fun time has only begun and excellent work
...
This is Deadpool, he's not too picky.
A very enjoyable chapter. Great job.
Well, Deadpool did have his fun once already so this time it's time for Chryssie to have some fun!
NEVER!

I wonder what Chrysi's hammer-like weapon will be. Ball and chains connected to her hooves, maybe?
Ah, show a little xenophilia, Deadpool. They're your fangirls, whatever the shape. Besides, you've dated worse. And married worse.
The balance thing is actually quite clever for the sake of varied gameplay. Now I want a Chrysalis exclusive mode with the same sort of set up... Maybe when she is older.
Deadpool you perv!
Waiting for her new stealth kills~
just an fyi the game has mission replay and persistent upgrades built in.

... Deadpool would still hit that.
Seriously tho, all this fourth wall breaking is hurting my head, I'm pretty sure that they at least tried to focus on the story normally here and there right? Before you know it those six entities will be breaking the fourth wall to the comments...
Got a suggestion for a father/daughter combo using Chryssie's new spikes: She basically curls up like Sonic into a spiked ball and Deadpool throws her at the enemy, causing her to ricochet off like a pinball and skewer multiple foes. My original idea was for him to kick her like a soccer ball, but I doubt he'd go for that. But some team up attacks would be awesome!
I have to wonder how many times Deadpool has been approached by hot girls and gotten ready to try to sweet talk them, only to have them ignore him and go for Chryssie and coo over how adorable she is???

Don't worry, I'll have several combination moves to reveal.

This is perfection man, sheer perfection.
Awesome job on this! 8D
That was bad.
If Chrysalis was in mortal kombat that would be her fatality....
Need to work on them puns, Chryssie.
I'd also compare that spin move to Filia or Felicia.
The question is, has Chrysalis seen enough hentai to know where that ice cream is going?
LOL
Went meenie minie... ALL OF THEM!
Given that this is all building up to an uber crossover between the protagonists of all these stories, I can't help but wonder if Chrysalis and Pinkie will become rivals or bestest buddies. Then again, Nightmare Moon also coming from a game might also be enough common ground for a friendship.
