//------------------------------// // Chapter 23 // Story: I Just Walk Away // by madhat886 //------------------------------// The world is one where a man name Eric Forster who on his world is the first human being to with superpowers after he survives an explosion in his apartment building. After using his new powers to rescue other survivors in full view of TV cameras, Eric becomes an immediate sensation. That where things go downhill, fast. (1) Discovering his powers causes Eric to become more religious than he already was, believing he has been chosen to act as God's messenger in a manner reminiscent to the Biblical Samson or Jesus. This quickly develops into megalomania as Eric starts regarding himself as an actual god and decides that regular humans are far, far beneath him. Once Eric realizes the people he wants to save so desperately fear him because of his power he goes completely manic and decides to treat people as ants to be squashed under his whims. His first act was to cripple his brother Hugh and brutally rape Hugh's wife Alma. He went on a rampage for 3 years across America, till Twilight and the others came to his world. "What did you do to me?" Eric shouted out as he tries to use his powers but couldn't. He had walked into another town when three young women had appeared out of a portal in front of him, one with purple skin and purple hair, one blue skin and white hair, the last orange skin and red hair. Before he could do anything the three blasted him with energy beams from their hands. And now he's on his knees in front of them as people of the town surrounded them, some of them using their phones to record or sending images online. "Strip you of your powers. We know who you are Eric Forster," the purple one said. "You gain powers and decided that you're a god from another universe," the blue one said. "And decided to go around killing just for fun," the orange one said. "You're not special, not the chosen one, not a god, you're just some guy who was lucky enough to be in the right spot when someone like us drop something which you were the only one close by at the time to be effected by it. Which gave you your powers in the first place," the purple one said. "So you're just some guy who got lucky and that it. You gaining powers was a complete accident," the blue one said. "And now you're nothing like you were before. And now that you don't have powers and they'll never coming back to you ever thanks to what we did to you," the orange one said. "You just did this... to... me?" Eric said trying to find words. "What? That it's wrong? Oh wait, you have the mindset that wrong is just a word people who don't have power made up," the purple one said mockingly. "Well seeing how you are now powerless now. You can use the word wrong now," the blue one said. "And now we'll leave you to face the punishment of your fellow powerless humans who you are now like now," the orange one said. With that the three disappeared into another portal. Leaving Eric there on his knees wondering what just happen. Then he was knocked down by a pair of cops who been watching with the crowd and once the three women were gone ran up and tackled him to the ground. Eric struggled but without his powers, he's just a normal human again and not special anymore. He was cuffed and hurled away as the crowd around him jeered and mock him while taking pictures of the self proclaimed god who is now powerless. ! Rick's Hub - Sunset was once again viewing other universes to visit, they're currently having some down time after the mission to Sherlock universe and the stop over in that other world with that power mad super. It was one of those prevention missions that the Witcher guild posted on their online mission billboard. The lock box that Trixie took was something that would had resulted in a world wide outbreak straight out of the ‘Crossed’ verse. Where infected people have a bloody cross on their faces and all become insane killers. But because of what Trixie did there’s a craze going around about superheroes and villains. Which Trixie wants to make her return as a reoccurring villain. That she and the others don't want as they already did enough. It's not like they're all superpowered... well she and the others have been using the plasmids that they gotten from Bioshock Rick, which are showing results. They been taking the doses as labeled on the bottles and like any other medicine as long as they followed the directions there be no side effects. Her body is getting really toned with muscles while keeping her figure. She likes her new stronger body, as she likes to think of herself as the muscle of the group and that she likes keeping herself big using the super mushroom. (2) Which is why she's at the sports area of the Rick's trading hub. Where she spent sometime in the training room where she learned to be able to move around as a giant. And now she's at the wrestling center where a group match had taken place, between Sailormoon and the inner scouts from a cannon verse, vs the ones from a Warhammer 4000 crossover verse. Who Sunset saw in Lina Inverse's magic shop. The match is the cannon ones using nothing but their enhanced strength in their magic forms against the Warhammer 4000 ones. Without any other magic or anything else, as the cannon ones thought that the Warhammer ones are like them but in power armor. Which that train of thought ended when they step out of their suits revealing that all 5 of them are 7 foot tall amazons. Who are all have powerful muscular bodies thanks to body altering technology found in the Warhammer 4000 verse, on top of the magic enhanced magical girl forms. Which gave them a much higher base line strength level when they transformed then the five normal high school 14 year old girls. And the match was completely one sided with the cannon girls getting their butts handed to them. With the Warhammer scouts showing the cannon ones what would really happen if the villains they faced are smart and not just attack one at a time but as a team. Which the cannon ones are just too use on outnumbering the villains. And that without their magic attacks they suck at hand to hand combat. The match ended with the cannon scouts being piled on top of each other and for the Warhammer ones to do a power group butt slam on them. And Sunset took a picture of the Warhammer scouts sitting on top of the cannon scouts who are piled on top of each other with Moon being on top and Lita on the bottom. Then the cannon Neptune and Uranus came in with their Warhammer counterparts who are from the same universe that the ones who just kicked the cannon inner scouts butts. Who had their own match like the scouts. Which pair won is more in what you define as losing and what you define as winning. Warhammer 4000 Moon told cannon Moon as she and the other Warhammer scouts continue to use her group as chairs. That they’re lucky that her group aren’t like some of the other scouts who like taking advantage of a defeated foe sexually or are the futa ones. After the older scouts helped the younger ones to the medical ward of the gym, which will put their broken bodies back together. Which is the reason why the Warhammer scouts didn't hold back as much, seeing how advance the medical care is where you can be riddled with laser blasts and be brought back to life. Then she noticed something on her computer screen as she was scanning one universe after another. On the screen is a world like the one she came from but with ponies spraying some kind of liquid on humans that transforms them into smiling ponies. She noticed that there's a transparent word 'dark' on the bottom of the screen. Flipping to another world she saw a world where Pokemon who lose too many times are sold to a slaughterhouse to be made into meat products, with the same 'dark' text on the bottom of the screen. A world of Sym-Bionic Titan where the giant space bat having paralyzed every human on Earth for 3 months ended with everyone but Octus dead. A world where Spongbob Squarepants is the results of a toxic waste spill. A world where people died when the Power Puff Girls had played tag and are outcast and abandon by their father. A world where Kim Possible is captured by Shego and an army of her clones who use her as their sex toy, using a holodeck to fulfill any of their depraved sex fantasies. Then a Dexter's Laboratory world where Dee Dee rather then being just dumb and clueless, is a cruel, destructive jerkass, who completely destroyed her brother's life's work, openly belittles, insults, humiliates, and abuses him for shits and giggles. "From that look on your face you finally discovered the dark multiverse," a Rick said who sat next to her to watch the one sided beat down. "Dark multiverse?" Twilight ask. "The Dark multiverse is the dark reflection of every multiverse there is, where every fear and bad decision ever made is found. It's a place where everything that could have gone wrong happen, with things ending up going horribly wrong or right depending on what world you're talking about. I stay out of there for a reason, as the Ricks there... well you think I'm bad the ones found there are worse then me even on my bad days. Most Rick's around here do have standards, while the ones over there don't," Rick said. (3) "And the dark label on the screen is a warning," Sunset asked. "Yup," Rick said burping. "Meatball head, if you think of an idea like us fighting counterparts of us again who are from a place like Warhammer 4000. I'm going to kick your butt," Mars said as she and the others limped out of the medical ward. "I thought they wouldn't be amazons," Moon said. "That's because you girls are magic casting magic girls. Who are completely out of your league when you have to fight someone who doesn't rely on just stock footage magic attacks," Sunset said speaking up. "What do you mean by that?" Moon ask. "From what, I have seen magical girls like you girls all rely on magic attacks out of Pokemon and Digimon. Using the same attack again and again, like you Mercury with that bubble attack that just made fog, till you finally learned to use a spell that didn't make you all but helpless in battle. You are all just use to having the villains being dumb and never just stepping out of the way of your attacks or just attacking you all when you're doing your transformations. Then there's those outfits that you all wear that only keeps villains from ever taking any of you seriously. Which is why, I can't take you magical girl types seriously," Sunset said. "Hey!" Venus said. "She's right. There's a whole lot of porn staring you girls," Rick said. "Sure the younger ones come off more as cute, but seeing how all of you are 14 and older. It's just fap material." "EEEWWW!" the scouts all said. "Plus there are better scouts then you from cannon, not to mention a Moon who isn't a dumb blonde," Rick said as he pointed to different groups of scouts. A Moon who is dressed like Goku. "Over there is a Moon who is the daughter of Goku." A Moon dressed like Catwoman. "One whose parents are Batman and Catwoman." A Moon dressed as a pirate. "One from the One Piece world." A Moon dressed in a retro spacesuit. "She's the daughter of Flash Gordon." A Moon wearing a outfit that matches Doctor Fate. "Doctor Fate and his wife kid." One who is wearing the outfit minus the mask. "Daughter of Doctor Doom." A Moon who is dressed as a monster clown who is grinning. "Daughter of Joker and Harley." A Moon who is dressed in dirty and stinky clothes, who is walking with an adult Ed and May Kanker from 'Ed, Edd N Eddy'. "Daughter of those two." "Eew," the scouts said glad that she's not their Moon. Another who is wearing a yellow trench coat and matching hat. "She was raised by Dick Tracy." Then finally to one who is walking with a Rick and is wearing a coat like him. "Then there are plenty of ones who are a Rick's granddaughter." "What?" Moon ask her eye twitching. "You girls suck when you're out of your world setting. Deal with it bitches," Rick said getting a glare from the scouts. "Here," Sunset said giving her a card. "I got this from Bayonetta and Jeanne who taught me and my group some fighting skills. And there are classes where magic users who actually learn magic and not having it just handed to them, will teach you all how to use more then one set of spells that came with your magic item." "Learn spells?" Jupiter ask. "Any real magic user can easily defeat you scouts. One antimagic or a mute spell and you all be completely helpless. The only way you would win is if they like your villains just played around with you or you manage to take them by surprise," Sunset pointed out. "Or you can just buy weapons from one of the Rick's selling weapons to deal with magic," Rick said. "True," Sunset said before turning back to the scouts. "Me and my group encountered a group of scouts who all came from different worlds where each of them are the last survivors of their groups. They're all messed up in one way or another. You all should speak to them. The last time, I saw them was at Moe's so just ask there about them." "Thanks," Moon said as she and her group left the gym. ! At Moe's - Twilight had return from the Witcher guild having cashed in the bounties she and the others had earned. And that world with the power mad super did counted as a bounty thanks to them filming it. She spotted Kasumi eating with Naruto and Trixie, waiting for her to join them. And she noticed that in the table next to them is a group of 3 Hild's. Twilight joined her party and couldn't help but overhear what's happening at the Hild table. "I don't see what you have to complain about," Hel who is the classic myth goddess and whose body is half white and black. "You have any idea how much stress I'm under in keeping things running as I do," Hild said to her older counterpart. "You're from the classic myth while, I'm from the My Goddess verse. Where I'm in charge of all over hell and all the other world's hells in that universe. I have to keep the different demons from many worlds from doing something dumb. I had to make so many examples till they finally got the message. You don't have to deal with all of that." "And you don't have to deal with my family. Loki being my father and sometimes mother isn't something I like to deal with. Not to mention the rest of the family. You're actually very liked and demons under you respect you seeing how good of a ruler you are. Not to mention thanks to how your universe works you are able to use more powers then me," Hel said. "At least you two are able to use your powers freely," the 3rd Hild said. "For anyone in my universe who is a god or demon no matter who you are. To be able to use my powers, I need a blood offering of mortals just to use a simple spell. Do you have any idea how long it's been for anyone on my Earth to be able to use our powers, thanks to mortals not into killing others as offerings to us anymore. Sure there's a few cults here and there and some killer who kills people and offering their souls to me. And no old offerings don't get added to like a spell counter that shows how many spells left you can use. It has to be fresh and done right when I need to use a spell." "Which is why you're using high tech stuff instead of spells?" Hel ask. "Yes," Hild said who while looks just like the other Hild is wearing a cyber suit instead of a revealing dress. "On the plus side my Urd can call me mom and that brat sister of hers can't use her super intelligence without an offering. So she can't be high and mighty." "Wait, I thought Skuld was super smart," Twilight spoke up. "She is but the lion share comes from her godhood. And without it she's smart but not that smart compared to Skuld's who can use all of their powers that comes with being a goddess," Hild explains. "You should see what a limp dick wimp Zeus is without his god powers," Hel said. "So without the powers that come with being a god or a demon. What's left isn't anything to speak of?" Kasumi asked. "The only ones who still have something without their powers are the ones who were mortals before they gain godhood or demonhood. And the ones who give up their powers for a time to be a mortal before returning as what they were. The ones like us who are born as gods and demons....," Hild was about to say. "They're all little wimp bitches who are nothing without their powers," Rick said as he walks up to Twilight's group. "Rick what are you doing here?" Twilight ask. "Oh just came over to get something and seeing how you're here," Rick said as he gives her a bottle of pills. "The order of power up Starman pills." "Thanks," Twilight said. "Thank you for the bucks," Rick said before turning to the 3 goddesses. "Well see you bitches later." With that Rick left, while the 3 goddesses remind themselves that attacking Rick would just end horribly for them. "Rick would just strip you of all of your powers and then mock you and do stuff. Till he loses interest with it and just leaves," Naruto asked. "Yes," the 3 Hilds said. "One of the Rick's went and reprogrammed the world tree where the only way for gods and demons to retain their powers is for them to appear as ugly losers. Hild of that world is a fat, balding, zit ridden, farting, booger eating, bloated festering sweaty pusfilled malformed, shameless pig. And she's the pretty one," Hel said. "So you all just let Rick's do what they want?" Twilight ask. "It's easier and safer," Hild said. "And you all seen what happens to those who tried," Naruto said. "Oh yeah," Hild said.
