"AAAH!!! THANOS WATCH OUT!!!" Grievous shouted out, the Titan was then swooped up by the dragon, now in the drake's jaws.
Kodo spun, wincing as he saw Thanos struggling against the drake. “Oh, that’s not gonna be good,” he mumbled.
"Do what you want, I'm going after Thanos." The Dragon then spit Thanos out and like a meteorite, Thanos slammed to the ground. Grievous then flew off, Kaioken boosting his speed.
“Aren’t we not supposed to interfere?” Kodo asked, turning into smoke to keep up.
"Yeah, but I just want to see if he's alright." Grievous commented, the pair then spotted Thanos, his armor melted and damaged. Grievous then dropped down walking up to Thanos.
"Wa do ya wa…?" Thanos asked sluggishly, Grievous blinked.
"We wanted to see if you were okay," Grievous told the Titan, Thanos then gets up.
"Do you fucking see the state that I'm in? I'm not okay." Thanos said like he was stating the obvious, which he was.
"Well now we know, anything you want to say to Thanos, boy?" Grievous turned to Kodo.
Kodo glanced up at the dragon and then at the Titan. “Offer it diamonds,” he suggested, before vanishing into smoke and retreating underground.
"...The fuck does that mea-" Thanos asked before the Dragon swooped down and shot fire into Thanos' face. Thanos took the full brunt of that, unflinchingly. The Fire Dragon then stops and looks at Thanos in surprise.
"Boop." Thanos booped the Fire Dragon's nose, before scratching under its chin. Like a dog would the drake began to tap on the ground, the dragon's tail began to wag. "Looks like I found your good spot…" Thanos chuckled before the dragon rolled over, Thanos began to scratch its belly. Brute walked over next to Grievous and they both just looked at Thanos in shock. The Fire Dragon then rests its eyes, going to sleep. Thanos stood up and looked at Brute and Grievous.
"I'm a Dragon person." Thanos said blankly, Thanos was then punched in the nose and was sent flying through buildings by Brute.
Kodo watched him fly from his spot under the rocks before glancing at Brute. “Apparently, that guy’s not a Thanos person,” he noted wryly.
"You could say that again." Grievous chuckled, now next to Kodo undetected.
“I could, but I don’t want to,” Kodo replied. He watched as Brute took off after Thanos. “So… now we just wait and watch?”
"Yeah, we can't exactly go back up there, since you know, it's fucking invisible, and to top it off we can't sense their Ki." Grievous said flatly, "But a quick question for you, boy, do you have a girlfriend or a mate?"
Kodo shrugged. “Not yet,” he replied. “But one day, I’ll get one.”
"Is there someone who catches your eye?" Grievous asked the Diamond Dog.
Kodo’s ears flattened, and he looked away sheepishly. “Yeah, but… I don’t know if she’d ever feel the same for me,” he admitted. His eyes drifted to Luna, who, while far away, could not hide from the diamond dog’s gaze.
"Damn, you have good taste! ...Wanna see something cool?" Grievous asked Kodo, if he could grin, he would.
“Sure,” Kodo replied. Grievous' arms were then in… His body, he was now an armless man.
"I fought sixty nine women with this tactic." Grievous chuckled, "Works every time."
“That is cool,” Kodo noted with a grin.
"I have literally nothing else to talk about… Er… What's… No that's a Thanos question. Would you like to know why I slay dragons?" Grievous asked Kodo.
“Is it for something other than their treasure?” Kodo asked. “There’s a diamond dog pack that was all about slaying dragons for their hordes.” He chuckled. “Mom got into such a huge fight with them about it; she kept claiming dragons were more valuable as allies, but… apparently the pack had their reasons.”
"It's not for treasure I assure you that much… It's for vengeance." Grievous said darkly, peering down at Kodo. "You see… One day, I had a special someone, a mate if you will. She lived in a village called Pony Town, where everyone was happy and nice to each other. One faithful day while I was walking down the road to see my lover, I found that the whole town was slaughtered by dragons. They had all killed the inhabitants, so guess what I did?" Grievous tilted his head, looked at Kodo.
“You killed all of them in return,” Kodo said with a nod. “Umbra would give me nightmares of the same thing happening: visions where Celestia slaughtered my mother and sister and all of my pack, so I slaughtered her and everyone she loved.”
"A soul, for a soul, but I wanted to know why this happened. I went to the Dragon Lands to talk to the Dragon Lord at the time… Her name? Scorch, mother of Torch, I had a talk with her. Which ended up with me being captured by the dragons, apparently they had sent them to destroy the town, but they wanted no witnesses. So guess what I had to endure for… Six months." Grievous asked Kodo, walking around him
“Torture,” Kodo replied. “Endless suffering for the crime of existing.”
"Indeed, I was melted and rebuilt; a slave for Scorch. Doing what she wanted, fighting for her, and even taking care of young Torch, that part I enjoyed. We were great friends but anyways… Thanos found out, mind you Thanos didn't have his Devil Fruit at the time. Thanos got so mad, he punched her head clean off! Know that this dragon was as big as… A Great Ape. But you don't know what that is." Grievous shrugged, "She was not as big as Rubilax though…"
“I don’t think anything will ever be as big as Rubilax,” Kodo agreed. “But I have seen dragon lord Torch. I can assume his mother was even bigger.”
"Well, enough of that story, what not-gruesome-torture-Umbra-evil stories do you have?" Grievous inquired.
“Well…” Kodo said, before grinning. “There was this one time where my sister Celine came up to me, right? And she tells me, ‘Kodo, if you try to make a candle with Pinkie Pie’s sprinkles, please know that the sprinkles will just sink to the bottom of the glass, alright? And then the flame will eventually reach the bottom and catch fire. And it becomes one giant tall flame that you can’t possibly blow out. Then the glass will start to crack. But if you throw water on it, it only makes the sprinkles pop and shatter the glass. Please take my word on it.’ And so, I’m standing there, looking at her like Dad would, and I just say, ‘Okay, Celine, what did you do?’ She bursts into tears and cries, ‘A terrible mistake!’”
“DON’T YOU BLAME YOUR SISTER FOR THAT DEBACLE, KODO!” Shiva’s voice howled in the distance. “YOU WERE THE ONE THAT MADE THAT MISTAKE!”
"BAH!! HAHAHAHA!!" Kodo heard laughter similar to Lucci's in the distance, Grievous laughed at the story before glancing at Shiva.
"EY YO FUCK YOU!!! He helped me beat a demon, he is now ma boy! Not like a son but as a… Son." Grievous said before looking at Kodo. "Don't take this wrongly, also, SHIVA FOR ONCE LET HIM HAVE THIS!!!!"
“To be fair,” Kodo noted. “Celine did give me Pinkie Pie’s sprinkles in the first place.” He chuckled. “I swear, if that girl could marry all of the Mane Six at once, she would have.” He looked up, and his tail wagged. “Oh, my gems… what if she actually does that? She’s running the dang pack while we’re here! Like, what if we come back from this tournament, and we’ll find out Celine united the diamond dogs and ponies together, and is now happily married to all six of the Elements of Harmony in a big polyamorous relationship.”
"Dear. God." Grievous went wide eyed, "That would be fucking epic."
“I wouldn’t put it past her,” Kodo admitted. “She always looks for the best in others. Like one time, she and Mom had to go to Ponyville for some sort of mission. And she runs into Diamond Tiara; the one who gives bitches a bad name. And she goes and starts insisting to Celine that she has fleas. Well, instead of getting mad, Celine decides to get herself checked out. And it turns out she actually did have fleas. Really nasty ones.” Kodo shuddered. “Anyway, Celine managed to get them removed, and she ended up sending a thank you card to Diamond Tiara for letting her know about the fleas.” Kodo chuckled. “I was ready to burn Diamond Tiara’s house down for mocking my sister, but I honestly think Diamond Tiara was more put off by Celine being nice to her than any revenge scheme I could cook up.”
"Celine is a carbon copy of Pinkie Pie." Grievous noted.
“Eh, not really,” Kodo said. “She’s not quite as… peppy as Pinkie. She’s a little more soft-spoken. Kinda like Fluttershy, if Fluttershy had Pinkie’s optimism.”
"Flutter Pie." Grievous said, "My brain is too fat for this metal helmet."
"Hey Shiva, can you say addicted after every sentence after this one?" Lucci asked Shiva.
“No,” Shiva said.
"...I'll give you all the gems in the vault back in Minos…" Lucci told Shiva.
Shiva slowly turned back to look at him, her eyes scanning him for lies and deceit. After a solid minute of her giving him a very firm and very tense ‘Mom Glare’... she stood up and howled.
“I’m ADDICTED to the madness,” she sang. “This hotel is my Atlantis. We’re forever gonna have a fucking reason to sin, let me leave my soul to burn and I’ll be breathing it in, I’m addicted…!”
"AAAAAA STOP!!!" Lucci then falls on his back, "That wasn't what I wanted you to do!"
“Welp,” Shiva said. “Sorry, but I’ve been checking out more of this multiverse stuff, I saw something about a ‘Loona’ character that looked like me, and it led me to some sort of song that was called ‘addict’, so... that was the first thing I thought of when you said ‘addicted.’”
"Just say the word 'addicted' after every sentence I say starting after I say, okay, okay?" Lucci tilted his head.
Shiva hummed, before pointing a claw at him. “Addicted?”
Lucci nodded, "What happens when someone drinks too much alcohol?" Lucci asked Shiva.
“Addicted.”
"What happens when one plays a game too much?"
“Addicted.”
"What hit you in the face last night?"
“A…” Shiva paused, pointing at him again and chuckling before snapping her claws. A hard light copy of her mate Luke - who looked like Lucario - formed behind her, his arms over her shoulders.
“A dick did,” he said with a grin. “My dick.”
Multiple clones of Lucci pointed at Shiva and the link. "BAH, BAH, BAH!!!!" They all said before a giant Lucci head appeared before Shiva. "BAH!!!"
Shiva ignored them all, proudly frenching with the link copy of her mate.
"Hey, is that the mouth present Nami gave me?" Luffy tilted his head, pointing at where the link was. Both Fujitora and Nappa then burst out laughing. Luffy was just confused, "What?"
“Well, all that’s left is just Black, Erebus, Thanos, Brute and Nox.” Katakuri said before glancing at Shiva, “Do you still have my token?”
Shiva hummed, pulling away and letting her link copy dissipate into sparkles. “Yeah,” she replied. “Why?”
“Just wanted to make sure, because I have a theory… You know of Kaido, am I correct?” Katakuri inquired.
“The dragon that tried to recruit my son for some army before suddenly becoming part of Thanos’ armor?” Shiva clarified.
“Yes, I believe… When Kaido died at the hands of Thanos, one of his men went to your universe. Because I want to make sure that they all go to their own universes again. And I just might have a theory… That soldier is Lord Boros.” Katakuri told Shiva, “Should you need me to beat him, which is highly likely, just say my name and I’ll be at your doorstep.”
Shiva’s eyes widened at the thought of another displaced in her universe, and nodded gratefully to Katakuri. “Thank you,” she said. “I’ll definitely seek your guidance if… no, let’s be honest, ‘when,’ I need it.”
“Should it be an edgy overlord, a powerful dragon, Umbra, or even the God of Tartarus himself I will aid you. Because that… Is what heroes do.” Katakuri said, the audience cheering for Katakuri's speech. Katakuri rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Shiva nodded in thanks, before a thought occurred to her. She turned back to Lucci. “Didn’t you promise me all the gems in the vault at Minos?” she asked.
“Yeah, EY CHILL!!! GIVE ME ACCESS TO THE VAULT!!!!” Lucci cried out.
“I fucking hate you all.” A voice grumbled, it could be heard from everywhere, a portal appeared above Shiva. Suddenly all the gems were poured onto Shiva, even Netherite for some reason.
Shiva endured, forming a net to catch the gems, and giggling with glee as she was showered with the gemstones. “My dogs are going to lose their minds,” she whispered giddily, before composing herself and bowing thankfully to Lucci. “Thank you.”
“What can I say except you're welcome, for the gems that I gave you.” Lucci said in a rhythmic way. “Now, let's watch the fight unfold…" Lucci said, gazing at the screen as Thanos got up from the punch, Brute was right in front of the Titan. The two then begin to slug each other.
Luna had taken notice that the area had changed to a ruined city, suddenly she heard a massive stomp. The massive stomp was Iron Man in a new suit. He had some bags with him, and Iron Man raised up the bag. “I come with food.”
“Welcome back,” Luna said offering the metal man a cup. “I’ve prepared you a cup of Equestrian Kava Tea.”
“Thanks,” Iron Man’s helmet face popped off revealing a middle aged man. ”My name is not actually Iron Man, but it’s Stark, Tony Stark.” Stark reached for the cup, seizing it and taking a sip,
“A pleasure Mr. Stark,” Luna said, pouring herself a cup. “Luna Solaris, Princess of the Night.”
“Don’t call me Mr. Stark, that’s what the kid calls me. Also, a pleasure to meet you Luna, quick question, do you have superheroes in your Equestria?” Stark asked the Princess of the Night.
“Afraid not,” Luna said to the android. “We have pirates and criminals, of course some do work under me and my sister as the Seven Warlords.”
“Hm, a One Piece world, interesting, well I was created and not created at the same time. I have memories that aren’t mine and I act like someone I am. I’m sorry if that confuses you but you know how things are. I am Iron Man, I have all of his memories. Including the tragedies that happened to him.” Stark said before he took a sip of his tea.
“It seems everypony here a has had some form of tragedy” Luna said sipping from her tea
“Yeah you’re right… Directing from that, did you see anything interesting happening when I was gone? Did someone lose or…?” Iron Man inquired, looking around at the broken buildings muttering, “God this looks like New York after the fight with the Chitauri…” under his breath. “Oh, by the way we did agree that our battle ended in a draw, right?”
“Yes we did,” Luna said watching Thanos’ fight as she finished her tea. Stark noticed that.
“Oh, so uh… Do you think Thanos can win now? He’s in Steam Man. One of his strongest forms.” Stark asked Luna as Thanos took a hit from Brute, Thanos then pulled back his fist and slugged Brute in his nose.
“I find it difficult to determine that. I’ve met him once before when Eric and Thanos fought each other,” Luna said as she observed the Titan’s speed. “It looked like both were holding back.”
“Hm, this Thanos is very strong though it looks like Brute can match his strength. If Thanos takes advantage of his speed Thanos could win, however if Brute has Future Sight… Damn, Thanos needs to transform. Also Luna, did you ever personally meet him, I don’t think you two ever spoke with one another.” Stark glanced at Luna.
“I was just there to watch,” Luna said to the metal man. “He told me not to talk to him, and I’m not gonna lie. He is a disrespectful imbecile. But...He cares for his friends more than anything”
“When someone is acting stupid, it’s probably just to hide the pain.” Stark said, stepping aside as Thanos flew past them. Brute ran after Thanos at breakneck speeds.
“I understand that,” Luna agreed with the android. “Eric hid his pain behind his cold exterior. Celestia hid her pain behind her smile”
“...What would you do if Thanos and Eric swapped bodies for a day? That would be fun, living each other's lives to see if they have it better or worse.” Stark chuckled.
“Knowing Eric he would try to discipline the Titan’s friends,” Luna said
“I HIGHLY DOUBT HE COULD!!!!” Grievous shouted out from afar.
“Anyways, knowing this Thanos, he probably would try to fight the strongest being or find Emerald Gauntlet, Sapphire Sword, Ruby, and Golden Shield. To make sure they hadn’t died during the whole destroying an island thing.” Stark then finishes his tea. “But let’s enjoy the show, shall we?”
Thanos looked at Brute, they circled around each other like two wolves. Thanos studied Brute; the creature’s pupils were gone and he was muscular. Brute studied Thanos as well: he saw that steam came from his body and Thanos clenched his fists. Brute mimicked the gesture as they circled around each other.
“...What are they doing?” Entity asked to no one in particular, Entity looked at the screen quizzically as he watched the two circle each other.
“Sizing each other up,” Shiva replied, recognizing the wolf-like pattern. “Figuring out how to beat each other. It’s a lot easier to think when fists and teeth aren’t trying to cave in your skull.”
“Ah, I see.” Entity nodded in understanding.
“Jeg ser at du er sterk. Men kan du slå meg med din makt?” Brute inquired, his voice invoking a Godly display. Thanos raised his eyebrow.
“I don’t know what you’re saying, but I can tell that you want me to show you my power. I won’t yet, you’re not ready.” Thanos told the Viking, Brute clenched his fist, Brute then frowned.
“Jeg er ikke klar sier du? Vel, la oss se hvor lenge den dårlige formen din kan holde ut.” Brute threw a punch at Thanos, Thanos stepped to the side. He put the back of his hand on Brutes arm as he evaded the attack. Pushing it to the side, Thanos used his other hand and pushed Brute’s arm past him. Using his palm to do so, Thanos then punched Brute in his nose, sending him flying. Brute crashed through a building, using steam to propel himself Thanos followed after him. Brute then caught himself before he flung into another building, using his mighty arms to halt himself. He looked up and Thanos was flying after him.
“Heat Crash!” Thanos tried to slam his fiery fist into Brute, but unfortunately for the Titan. Brute sidestepped the attack, Brute then used his mighty leg and slammed his knee into Thanos’ gut. Thanos wheezed, it sent him into the skies, Brute used Kamisori to appear before Thanos. He was about to strike Thanos but using steam to his advantage. Thanos appeared behind Brute, grabbing Brute’s arm, Thanos did a somersault before throwing Brute into the ground. Thanos fired off a Ki blast but fortunately for Brute, he recovered fast, Brute caught himself on the ground. He looked up and saw not one, not two, but ten purple Ki blasts being sent his way. Brute then ran, doing zigzags to try and evade the attacks.
Thanos growled and flew after Brute, Brute was far from Thanos, Thanos approached Brute rapidly. Thanos made a sonic boom as he closed in on Brute, Brute raised his arms to the skies. “Kom til meg våpnene mine!” A portal appeared from the skies and two Great Axes fell from it, the two Great Axes shot to Brute. Brute caught the Great Axes before grinning at Thanos, Thanos quickly pulled out his Infinity Blade, they then clashed weapons. The force of the two goliaths blew the rubble surrounding them away. Thanos and Brute grunted in effort as they tried to push back each other. They then both jump back.
“Tch, you sure are strong, I’ll give you that much.” Thanos frowned, Thanos spun his weapon to try and be intimidating, though the Viking’s will did not falter.
“Dette er ikke engang min fulle kraft! Hva med at vi bare hopper over oppvarmingen og går med full kraft allerede?” Brute asked as he spun his twin Great Axes. Thanos rolled his eyes.
“Don’t you understand I don’t understand you? But I think you’re saying let’s continue to fight like this.” Thanos said dumbly, Brute looked to Grievous who was on top of a building watching the battle with Kodo. The General of Droids shrugged, he then turned to Iron Man and Luna, Iron Man shrugged as well. Brute then groaned before he ran at Thanos, the Titan mirrored his moves and they clashed weapons. This time, Brute used more power than before, Brute threw the Titan and Thanos slammed into a building.
Thanos was dazed, Brute then chucked one of his Great Axes at Thanos, Thanos snapped out of it and avoided the attack. Using steam to evade his attack, the axe was then stuck in the building. Thanos tried to pull it out of the structure as Brute closed in on the Titan, Thanos then jumped up, using the stuck axe to his advantage and kicked Brute when he got close with his two legs. Brute slammed into building after building as Thanos got the Great Axe out, looking at the axe then at Kodo. He threw the Great Axe to Kodo, who caught it with his mouth. Despite the axe easily being bigger than him, the dog was only thrown off for a second before using his smoke to return to earth, the hilt firmly gripped in his teeth.
“Keep the damn thing, but be careful it weighs a couple of tons!” Thanos shouted out before Brute shot out from where he was kicked to and rammed his head into Thanos. Sending both of them through the building.
“What do you say?” Grievous turned to Kodo with a grin, though he had no mouth.
“Thank you,” Kodo said, spitting the axe into his claws with a nod of approval. “Serious ‘thank you,’ this thing is awesome.”
Thanos and Brute stopped running themselves through buildings and stopped, Thanos and Brute rose to their feet. Brute spat out some blood that was in his mouth before growling. Thanos looks up to a skyscraper, Thanos then runs up the wrecked building.
“Kjører du ikke feigen!” Brute slammed his Great Axe into the building and propelled himself up the building, carrying the axe with him. Brute reached Thanos before he got to the top, Brute then curbstomps Thanos into the building, Brute then jumped off of Thanos and into the building digging his feet into the building so that he wouldn’t fall down. Thanos got up, almost falling before digging his feet into the building as well. They both stood on the side of the building, suddenly it began storming, lightning hit the building next to them as rain began to pour.
“Dramatic.” Thanos said, Brute then roared and slammed his axe down on Thanos, using his double bladed sword, Thanos parried the attack. They both strike each other with their weapons, striking each other with their weapons as sparks fly into the sky. Only for the sparks to be put out by the rain. Thanos then spun around and slammed his blade into Brute, making a gash appear across his chest. Thanos then Spartan kicked the Viking up into the sky, Thanos ran up the side of the building before jumping up and striking Brute into the ground. Brute hits the roof and Thanos falls down, Thanos then slams onto the roof. The building cracking under his weight.
“Du er ganske mektig, selv om du har såret meg, er du fortsatt svakere enn jeg.” Brute remarked as Thanos and Brute began to circle each other.
“No one’s going to interfere with us, not Nox, not Stark, not Eric 2.0 and definitely not Rubilax, it’s just you… And me…” Thanos said, Brute chuckled, the two warriors circled around each other. Their eyes locked on to each other like dogs, then clenched their weapons, feeling the rain hit their skin.
“This is going to be epic!” Entity grinned, his crimson eyes glowing in anticipation.
Thunder boomed across the skies, signalling to continue their battle. They clashed, Thanos tried to push Brute off the building but Brute dug his feet into the roof. Thanos took a hefty swing down upon Brute who jumped above Thanos and struck Thanos across his chest with his Great Axe. Thanos took two steps back to recover from the attack, Thanos then chuckled, grinning like a mad man or rather Mad Titan. Thanos jumped and swung his weapon down at Brute who sidestepped the attack, Brute tried to take advantage but Thanos used his double blade sword and used the other blade to block the attack. Thanos then swept Brute off his feet and Brute hit the ground, Brute swore before jumping to his feet.
“Come on!” Thanos taunted and Brute did just what Thanos had told him to, Brute went for a horizontal strike to Thanos’ side, using Armament Haki, Thanos lifted his leg and blocked the attack effortlessly. Thanos then jumped back and almost went off the edge, Brute then ran at Thanos, aiming to ram him off. However, like the acrobatic bastard that Thanos is, Thanos performed a frontflip and evaded the attack. Thanos was now behind Brute.
“What’s wrong? Can’t keep up?” Thanos taunted, Brute then huffed steam out of his nostrils before turning around and running at Thanos. Thanos jumped over Brute, before slamming his boots into the Viking, Brute was sent through the floors of the skyscraper and hit the bottom floor. This made the building collapse, Thanos yelped as he fell down with the building. This made a huge dust cloud. Grievous jumped down from his building and ran to a building close to the wreckage to get a closer look, using Observation Haki he sensed the aura of the two combatants.
Thanos jumped from the rubble and on top of it, Thanos looked around the dust trying to sense Brute’s Ki, unfortunately for Thanos he wasn’t using Observation Haki like a chad. An arm wrapped around Thanos’ leg, Brute jumped from the rubble and slammed Thanos down on the rubble. Thanos groaned, Brute then spun Thanos around and threw him onto the roof of the building next to Grievous. Grievous blinked as Thanos jumped to his feet, Thanos held his hands to the ground steam began to flare up.
“Netsu-Netsu Steam… HOPPER!!!” Thanos shot off like a rocket to Brute, Brute jumped out of the way. Thanos used his steam to “bounce” off the ground, propelling himself to a building, then back to the ground then another building. Thanos begins to bounce off the buildings going faster than anyone could see him, Brute looked around trying to locate the Titan.
“Hvilken hastighet!” Brute exclaimed as he saw Thanos bounce around like a ping pong ball, Brute tried to follow Thanos’ movements but failed. Brute looked in front of him and he was struck by Thanos. Brute coughed up some blood as his Viking Helmet fell off from the force of the attack.
“Netsu-Netsu Steam Knock!” Thanos cried out, this sent Brute into a building but then he was stuck from the attack. Thanos sighed and charged up, he was enveloped in a purple aura, Thanos put his palms in front of him as he charged up a purple blast.
“HAAH!!!” Thanos’ voice echoed across the planet as the rubble before him began to levitate due to the sheer energy Thanos was exerting. Brute walked forth and clenched his fists.
“Ta det videre!” Brute cried out, Thanos grinned.
“I’ll give you everything I got, if you’re a real warrior you’ll endure it! But beware, this attack… WILL SEND YOU INTO OBLIVION!!!!” Thanos cried out as the storm started to intensify, the gusts of wind started to blow across the arena. Grievous crossed his arms as his cape blew violently in the wind, Grievous nodded.
“HRRRAAAHHH!!!!!!” Thanos roared as his purple Ki began to grow, Thanos then charges up the attack like a Galick Gun, Thanos’ purple aura grew violently. Brute pounded his chest like a Gorilla, hyping himself up before coating his entire body in Armament Haki. Thanos began to levitate, lightning struck all around him.
In the distance Goku and Vegeta jumped back away from Nox as they both felt a tremor in the earth. Goku turned to Vegeta with a shocked expression.
“Do you feel that power Vegeta?” Goku asked, Vegeta just smirked.
“So he’s taking this seriously, hmph.” Vegeta flew off and struck Nox in his chin, Nox countered the attack and kicked Vegeta in his armpit. Vegeta grunted and then felt the full brunt of a Wakfu blast.
“Heh…” Nox chuckled, Back to Thanos, Thanos then stopped levitating. Thanos slammed into the ground, the Titan slammed his feet into the rubble.
“TITANIC FLASH!!!!!!!!” Thanos fired off a devastating Ki wave at Brute, Brute opened his arm wide like he was going in for a bear hug. The Ki wave engulfed the Viking, the Ki wave didn’t stop there, it went past Brute, and went towards the location of Grievous and Kodo. Though the two leaped as one, Grievous noticed Kodo getting weighed down by the Great Axe. Grabbing the pup by his scruff, the General used Ki to fly to another building away from the blast before dropping Kodo down. Just in time too as the blast vaporized the building that they were on.
“Thanks,” Kodo mumbled, his fur bristling at how close they had cut it.
“You’re welcome.” Grievous said as he looked at the building.
The blast went off to space and there was a huge dust cloud, Thanos gasped for breath as the attack took a lot of his energy. But… Thanos saw a silhouette through the dust. Brute.
The dust cleared. Brute still stood, but was bloodied up. The viking took two steps forward before falling to his knees.
“Det var… One of the best fights I had… In a long time…” Brute wheezed out before falling on his chest unconscious. Thanos sighed before slowly turning to Nox, who had just appeared a few meters next to Thanos.
“I commend you for beating the strongest child, your strength is quite noteworthy.” Nox commended, Thanos pulled out his blade. Nox then summoned his, grasping the blade with two of his hands. Thanos then ran at Nox before jumping, coating it in Armament Haki, Nox coating his sword in Armament Haki as well. Red Lightning enveloped them and their eyes became blood red, Thanos brought down his mighty blade onto Nox and Nox raised his sword up to the Titan. At that moment the area turned to the ice continent, Antarctica, but not just any Antarctica, the Dragon Ball Antarctica. The two didn’t even meet blades, an unknown force appeared before them and they clashed, their Conqueror’s Haki flexing as they “met blades.” Like a barrier something was keeping their blades from meeting, the competitors were transferred over to the ice continent with the two. Goku and Vegeta weren’t present. The two forces made a huge gust of wind Iron Man brought out a shield and slammed it down on the ice to not be pushed away, Grievous dug his claws into the ice before putting his arms inside of his body before tucking himself. Thanos and Nox jumped back, Nox chuckled.
"I think I figured out how you put Kaido in that blade of yours." Nox said, Thanos raised an eyebrow.
"Is that so? Pray tell, how did I do it?" Thanos stuck his blade on the ice and leaned on the sword.
"That is not the real Kaido, that's his spirit. He went into your blade because of some Dark Magic, one of Oblivion the Shadow's spells I believe." Nox said, Thanos nodded.
"Indeed, Oblivion the Shadow is the embodiment of shadow. Any hate, anger, and sorrow is fuel for this demon. I realized if I let Kaido die, he would be revived, so I used one of his spells to seal him in the blade. Now he's basically my pet, to do with as I please." Thanos then picked up his blade and put the blade on his back/sheathe. Nox sheathed his blade as well.
"Oblivion the Shadow, hmph, I didn't believe someone like you would know who he is. Now, Thanos, shall we?" Nox got in a fighting stance.
"Shall we what?" Thanos asked, "Shall we hang out? Shall we go out to dinner? Shall we do something other than fighting? You need to finish your sentence, people can take that weirdly." Thanos informed the Xelor, Nox stared at Thanos for a full thirty seconds.
"...I think I'm going to enjoy this far more than I should." Nox commented before shooting off to Thanos, Thanos ran at Nox and their fists clashed. Armament Haki covered their fists and reddish, blackish lightning began to fly. A crater was formed underneath them, Thanos jumped back and shook his hand in pain, wincing as Nox stood unaffected.
"Damn you have strong Armament Haki, where'd you learn it from?" Thanos inquired, Nox crossed his arms.
"I was the First Mate on Shank's crew when he worked under Kaido, he's long gone now. I hear he's watching over a Buggy displaced with a world similar to Eric's." Nox said coating his fists and feet in Armament Haki, Thanos did the same. Nox and Thanos lunged at each other, Thanos went for a kick to Nox's side, powered by steam. Nox ducked under it, Nox then went for a Superman Punch to Thanos' jaw. However, he failed to realized that Thanos was fast as fuck, using Soru, Thanos appeared behind Nox. Thanos grabbed the Xelor by his arm, throwing the mummified man over him, Thanos then slammed Nox onto the ground. Knocking the wind out of Nox. Thanos was about to stop on Thanos but the Xelor put his hands in a particular position that Kodo knew all too well. Suddenly Thanos was blown away and there were bruises on his body, Thanos hit the floor and rolled to his feet. Blood dripped from the Titan's mouth, wiping it off Thanos frowned at Nox.
"I forgot you were a Time Mage." Thanos said, rolling his shoulders. Nox frowned.
"It's Xelor," Nox reminded, "Did you know Xelor-" Thanos then cuts Nox off.
"I'll call you whatever I damn want, I'll call you Timmy, Mary Poppins, Pennywise, John Walker, or Deviln!" Thanos then gave Nox the bird, Nox turned to Black.
"Do you believe this guy?" Nox asked the Dark Saiyan, looking at Black quizzically.
“Believe me, I know him so that isn’t surprising.” Black said simply as he had his arms crossed, a wave of boredom on the Saiyans face.
"I literally have a nickname for ALL of you, Moanohan, Sparky, Tin Man, Discount Goku, Bucket Head, Humphrey, Bucky, White Eyes, Rolex, Paragirl, Pointy Ears, Phoenix Wright, Cat, Edgy Pony, Lesbian, The Rock, Mr. Clean, Rubber Boy, Green Glow, Yamcha, Discount Ace, Pacifistic Murderer, Evil Slut, Hot Head, Blind Fuck, Twig Man, Robo Nigga, Psychic Bitch, Power Boy, Bulk, and Mochi Boy. Did I miss anyone else?! No? Okay." Thanos said with a scoff, Nox just stood there with a blank expression on his "face."
“Discount Goku?! Bitch I’m better than crazy hair style!” Black growled, a vein appearing on the Saiyans forehead. He then quickly turned to Erebus, “You know what, I need to let out some anger, let’s finish our fight!” Black declared as he powered up to Perfected Super Saiyan Rosé.
"A'ight." Erebus nodded before slamming his fist into Black unexpectedly. Erebus using Kamisori appeared above Black before slamming both of his feet into the Saiyan. The saiyan was then buried in ice, Erebus took out his gun and began shooting Shadow Bullets at the Saiyan while he was down.
The ice was destroyed in seconds as a burst of pure pressure broke through, shattering the ice. A pissed off Black stared at Erebus as he pulled out his ki blade, slicing the shadow bullets in half. He then shot forward, catching Erebus off guard as he was punched in the gut.
Erebus dashed at Black and they clashed blades. Though Black had more control over his power he lacked in raw strength, this was shown as he was pushed back by Erebus. Erebus had a Shadowy Aura, Erebus let out a dark chuckle before Spartan Kicking Black. Black was knocked onto his back but rolled to his feet only to be met with a punch to his nose. Erebus grabbed Black by his leg, Erebus then threw him above him, Erebus then fired off a mix between Magic and Shadow at Black. Engulfing the Saiyan in a fiery shadow, the attack rivalled a Kamehameha.
“Shade-Shade, Shadow Pillar!” Erebus named his attack.
Black put up his arms in front of him as the attack propelled him through many icy mountains. The Saiyan planted his feet into the ground, immediately stopping. Black scoffed as he used his hands to point the attack away from him, it going off and destroying a small mountain. The dark Saiyan then dusted off any ice on his Gi before teleporting behind Erebus.
“Nice attack, I’d call that a dark Kamehameha, but that just sounds edgy.” Black commented as he used his tail and wrapped it around Erebus’s leg, he then pulled his tail which pulled Erebus’s leg, tripping the Android. He pointed a Ki blast towards Erebus as shot it.
This attack sent Erebus for quite a tumble, Erebus stopped himself and stood to his feet. Smirking, “Ya see Carrot Boy, ye’re not dealing with the average Android anymore…” Erebus began.
“Oh my god… He’s gone Super Android!” Black yelled in mock surprise. “Are we just gonna make TFS references, cause if that’s the case.” Black coughed in his hand, “Call me TFS Black,” the Saiyan said in a high pitched voice.
“CORRECT!!! Shadow-Ken!” A shadowy aura bursts around TFS Erebus, mimicking that of the Kaio-Ken.
“Shadow wha?” TFS Black asked confused, only to get struck across the jaw by the Android. Sending him through mountains of ice before landing into an ice mountain, making a crater as deep as a cave.
“This… proves… nothing!” TFS Blacks voice echoed through the new cave.
“Are ya okay in there?” TFS Erebus cried out, his voice reaching to the cave.
“Yeah, I’m fan fucking-tastic, nothing but ice cream and gumdrops in here.” TFS Black yelled out in obvious sarcasm.
“Ooo! Can ah come in?” TFS Erebus shouted, all giddy.
“... … I’m surrounded by idiots…” TFS Black growled.
“Ah thought ya were surrounded by gumdrops and ice cream.” TFS Erebus pointed out.
There were a few seconds of silence, until there was an ungodly roar that shook the lands as the mountain was vaporized by a massive and decistating aura that created a massive crater. In the middle stood a livid TFS Black as steam was rolling off his body. “THAT'S IT!!!! NO MORE PLAYING AROUND!!!!” TFS Black roared.
“Aw, sounds like someone has an ice cream headache~” TFS Erebus cooed, grinning.
TFS Erebus didn’t register what happened the next second as he was punched in the gut. The Android hunched over at the sudden pain, but was then punched in the ribs, then the back, then every single part of his being was struck by an invisible force. It stopped seconds later as Black appeared in front of him, pointing two fingers towards his chest.
The two stood still for a few moments before Black formed his two fingers and balled them into a fist.
“Oh no…” Erebus whimpered.
Black struck Erebus in the chest, a shockwave could be seen passing through the androids body. Erebus fell to his knees as he tried to register what just happened. He looked up to see Black looking at him, a dark haze over his face.
“Well, ah’m screwed aren't ah?” Erebus said, going to his feet and looking down at the Saiyan.
Black pointed at the Android, forming his hand into a finger gun. “Bang…” Black said as a Ki blast shot forward, impacting the Android in the arm. The Saiyan continued to shoot more blasts across the Androids body before kicking him away.
“Ow... “ Erebus struggled to his feet, he then discarded his scythe by sticking it down on the ice. Erebus then gets in a stance similar to Sanji’s, sticking his right leg up, he then spun around. Then stopping, his right leg was caught on fire. “Diable… Jambe… JOUE SHOT!!!” Erebus dashed at Black and decked him in the schnoz.
Black took the hit head on as his head recoiled back. He held it there before chuckling, “What a shame…” Black said, confusing Erebus. The Saiyan slowly looked back to Erebus, revealing he had a little blood trailing down his nose. “It looks like you just initiated your shut-down sequence… let me give you a countdown.” Black said as he took a step forward.
“I get it!” Nappa shouted in the background.
“5!!!!” Black roared as he kicked Erebus in the stomach, it seemed like his foot almost went through him as he was sent tumbling across the ice.
Nightmare went wide eyed at this, “Did I just see his foot?” Nightmare questioned.
“Yup.” Lucci said, looking at the screen
Erebus laid on the ground as Black walked up to him. “Well well well, looks like I’m a size 13.”
“Good for ya, Table Party!” Erebus got up and went to a handstand before spinning around, making a fiery tornado. Erebus then landed a kick to Black’s cheek only to realize his mistake for the impact made his head tilt slightly.
“4!!!!” Black went back and did a handstand, recoiling his legs and kicking the Android in the gut, sending Erebus into the sky. Erebus yelled out as he recovered in the air, only to have Black teleport above him with a smirk. “So have you rusted your pants yet?”
“Yeah, have you?!” Thanos shouted before they heard a large whack.
“Ah hate you, hate ya both.” Erebus grumbled before firing a Shadow blast at Black, hoping to get the Saiyan away from him.
Black teleported away with ease and reappeared above with his hands balled together, “3!!!” Black roared as he struck Erebus in the head, sending the Android flying towards the ground, creating a large crater and dust cloud.
Erebus slowly got to his knees, gasping for breath, “Damn it, time to activate mah escape protocol, AAAAAAHH!!!!” Erebus turned around and began running like crazy.
Black looked down with a frown, “So much for a better Eric…” Black mumbled before teleporting away, reappearing in front of a scared Erebus. “2!!!!” Black sent a right hooking in the androids jaw, making him fall onto his back. The Saiyan pointed a hand and a condensed blue ball of ki appeared. But he didn’t fire it, instead he looked at Erebus with a serious look.
“Yield…” Black said seriously.
“AH YIELD FOR FUCKS SAKE YA WENT VEGETA ON MY ASS, KAMI HAVE MERCY!!!” Erebus shouted out.
“All I needed to hear.” Black said with a smile, the ball of Ki disappearing. Black then powered down to base form and held out a hand to the Android.
Erebus' form vanished; he sank back down to normal height, Erebus’ clothes were ripped and only his pants were intact with a few holes in them. Erebus took his hand and got up.
Black noticed this and pointed a finger towards him, “Clothes Beam!!” Black exclaimed, a yell beam overtook the Android and repaired his clothes with ease.
“That is by far yer best skill.” Erebus grunted out.
“Damn right,” Black commented as he put a hand on himself, a yellow light overtaking him as he went to his original Gi with the long sleeves. “How about we go hang out with Luna and Ironman and watch the fight.” Black said as he pointed a thumb over his shoulder.
“Sounds like a plan,” Erebus nodded and walked over there, they noticed that the General of the Droid army and young Kodo were there. Grievous turned to the pair.
“Oh hello, finished with beating down Android 19- I mean Erebus?” Grievous jokes, Iron Man popped up.
“Yeah, the rage against Eric is out of my system.” Black said with a smirk, sitting down next to the tin man.
“Well, now that you two are done slugging each other we can watch the show. By god you Saiyans are hard hitters, you might even give Hulk a run for his money…” Tony said with a chuckle.
“Yeah, good thing I didn’t use more power, or I might have actually kicked a hole in Erebus’s gut.” Black chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his head.
“Ah ha ha…” Erebus chuckled before looking at Black seriously, “Ya did not have to go that hard on me. Pause on that.” Erebus frowned.
“Sorry that you happen to look like a man who bullshited his way to a win against me…” Black countered.
“Ah blame Nox.”
“Sure, but why Android 13’s accent? How in the Omni-Kings name did you get his accent?” Black asked as he pointed his hand next to him, making a tea cup already prepared. He picked it up and took a sip, before he let out a relieved sigh. “Supreme Kai powers are fun.
“Who knows?” Erebus shrugged.
Black shrugs before taking another sip of his tea before looking at Tony, “So, which Mark suit is that?” Black asked, trying to make some conversation.
“Mark 85, the same one I used on Thanos.” Tony replied, they then heard a tremor coming in the direction of Thanos and Nox.
“Looks like things are starting to heat up.” Black said with a laugh before sipping his tea.
“...Was that an intentional pun?” Tony asked the Saiyan, “Because I feel like it was.”
“Maybe…” Black said with a smirk as another tremor came in. Everyone then turned their attention to Thanos and Nox who were trading blows. Fist met fist, foot met foot, it was like watching Dragon Ball Z but with a purple Mr. Clean and a discount Tony Stark. Nox then landed a spin kick to Thanos’ gut, Thanos winced then grinned. Thanos grabbed his leg and slammed his fist into Nox’s gut, he repeated the process repeatedly. Thanos was then surprised with a Wakfu blast to his face by the Xelor. Thanos let go of Nox and shook his head, he then saw Nox doing some footwork in a boxing stance.
“Like the kids say these days, square up thot. That is what they say, right?” Nox turns to Black quizzically.
“How would I know, it’s been 1,032 years, 5 months, 8 days, 4 hours, 2 minutes and 32 seconds since I’ve been on earth.” Black comments, with everyone except for Nox, looking at him shocked. “What, I’ve kept count…”
“I did that too, glad I’m not the only one!” Grievous did a thumbs up.
“How long for you?” Black asks.
“1699 years, 7 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 5 hours, 3 minutes and 34 seconds when I was locked in Tartarus.” Grievous said unflinchingly.
“Looks like you are slightly older than me.” Black laughs as he drinks the rest of his tea.
“Believe it or not, we’ve all been imprisoned at that year, Thanos has been sealed in stone the longest since he was blasted by that gay lazer.” Grievous explained to the Saiyan.
“Stone isn’t fun, can’t move or talk to anyone unless it’s your darker side. But I took the time and mentally trained all those years, but got bored after year 342…” Black explained.
“When I was in Tartarus, I looked down at the prisoners and I assumed their lives, sometimes I got visits from the Princesses. Usually by request some for stories.” Grievous said, before chuckling, “I could assume how you live if ya want me to.”
“Huh, that’s-” Nox was then cut off as he was punched in the face by Thanos, Nox hit the ground. Thanos looked down at Nox, Nox then shot up and uppercuts Thanos. Thanos stumbles backward before getting in a stance similar to Daewi.
“Thanos, skip the warm up and get into Burst Man.” Nox ordered, Thanos shook his head.
“No, you’re not read-” Thanos was suddenly punched in the gut, and just like Black, his fist was shown through Thanos’ body. Thanos wheezed.
“Don’t give me that, Titan, you’re strong and I know it. Go to Burst Man or I will force you to. And trust me, you don’t want me to.” Nox said, Thanos stumbled backwards, before scoffing. Thanos jumped back a few meters.
“Fine then, you asked for it…” Thanos went to one knee and dug his fingers into the earth, he suddenly became to heat up drastically, the people in the shield feeling it too. Suddenly he was set aflame, his back suddenly bursting into flames and dying down then bursting again, he dragged his finger across the dirt leaving behind molten magma. “Netsu-Netsu… BURST MAN!!!!!!!” Thanos then rocketed at Nox and punched the Xelor in his cheek. Nox covered his head in Armament Haki to nullify the heat. The force sent Nox flying across the icy landscape, melting some ice as he was on fire due to the heat of his body. Steam escaped from Thanos’ mouth, Thanos clenched his fists.
“Damn… I never even saw Thanos in that form and it’s pretty dangerous!” Entity shouted out from the aircraft, Katakuri slowly nodded.
“It was devastating, it turned the rock wasteland into a hellish landscape during his fight with Black.” Nightmare replied.
Nox jumped up from where he landed which was an iceberg, he was surrounded by water. Suddenly Thanos appeared before Nox, fire boosted his leg as he slammed his foot into Nox. But it was blocked by him, nothing moved for a split second, Nox was suddenly blown by the force and crashed through the icy terrain. Nox flew by the audience on the battlefield, which nearly knocked them on their asses. Thanos followed after Nox, blowing by the audience, which caught Grievous’ cape on fire.
“Do you smell something burning?” Grievous sniffed the air.
“It’s your cape…” Black says blankly as he watches with amusement.
“AAAAA!!!!!” Grievous shouted out as he ran out to the battlefield like a mad man.
“Whoa, General!” Kodo yelped, racing after him. “Not towards the…”
Unfortunately, he was too late: Nox and Thanos clashed around Grievous as he ran about. Which caused Grievous to go completely on fire as he let out a terrifying scream. Grievous then stop, dropped, and rolled across the ice as Thanos pushed Nox back, Nox taking a step back as Thanos continued his assault on the Xelor. For every step Nox was close to stepping on Grievous, Grievous continued to scream as he rolled across the ice. Grievous then pulled out his Water Sword and splashed it onto himself.
“Somebody stupid get in my way!” Nox shouted out before he crashed towards Kodo.
“I’m not stupid, I’m young!” Kodo barked, dodging out of the way and catching Nox with his pack links. “There’s a difference!” Kodo added as he threw Nox towards Thanos.
Thanos and Nox clashed, Thanos then covered his fists in Magma, “Magma Dragon’s Iron Fist!” Thanos then punched Nox in his gut, Nox letting out a scream before he jumped back and rolled across the ice to ease the fiery pain. Nox got up and chuckled.
“I must say, you're quite strong when you’re serious, maybe this is why you hold back so much. Your power is beyond compare, your power can turn a rocky biome to a hellish wasteland, your speed is comparable to Eric’s Savage Shadow Soul Reaper, and your durability is uncanny, for you survived the-” Nox was cut off by Thanos.
“Oh my god baby work the shaft.” Thanos said with a sly grin, Nox paused.
“Excuse me?” Nox tilted his head.
“I’m sorry I can’t help but talk dirty when someone is sucking my dick.” Thanos looked down at the Xelor, Nox blinked.
“...Eric, you know him longer, is he always like this?” Nox asked to the heavens, which held the aircraft.
“Unfortunately he is,” Eric shouted to Xelor. “But only when he isn’t taking a fight serious”
“Oh shut up Oogie Boogie, you’re built like Pitch Black from Rise of the Guardians.” Thanos called out, Nox’s eye twitched.
In response black shadow sand poured from Eric’s hands. “You’re not wrong, plus with Umbra’s magic, I can make people see their worst fear. Just like Pitch.”
“Pitch Black is a good villain, honestly you remind me of him.” Thanos chuckled, ignoring the Xelor who just couldn’t believe the Titan.
“Why? Why aren’t you taking this seriously?! AM I NOT A THREAT!?!?!?!” Nox shouted out to the Titan, who still ignored Nox.
“Trust me on this Nox,” Eric said to the combatants. “You will not survive if he takes it seriously, he went seriously in our fight two years ago and even I almost wasn’t able to beat him”
“I’m going to start beating him now.” Nox said before he flew off to Thanos, Thanos then caught Nox by his neck. Not even looking at the man before slamming the old man down onto the ice, melting the ice beneath him.
“To quote a wise man, “Insect!”.” Thanos said right before Nox chuckled, suddenly appearing far from Thanos.
“I am going to make you draw out that power of yours, you will show everyone what makes you so strong…” Nox said darkly as his Noxines surrounded him.
“But why do you want me to show everyone my full power?!” Thanos shouted out, “Doesn’t make sense!”
“Thanos,” Eric called out to the Titan. “Finish this already”
“NO!!! FUCK YOU ERIC!!!” Thanos cried out, “I will never-!” Thanos was then hit by Nox with his two Wakfu Hammers, sending Thanos for a tumble. The force dug a trench and Thanos tore across the landscape and hit an ice mountain. Nox appeared before Thanos.
“Thanks Eric for keeping him distracted for me.” Nox snarked, Thanos got up to his feet and looked at Nox groaning.
“Gr… Magma Dragon… ROAR!!!!” Thanos shot out magma from his mouth and magma was sent to Nox’s way. Though a clock made out of Wakfu was forged and blocked the magma.
“You see Thanos, that’s the difference between you and I, you can punch someone and kill them. I can punch someone and kill their kingdom.” Nox told the Titan, Thanos frowned.
“Earth Dragon’s Sword Horn!” Thanos ran at Nox and his body was then covered in rock, Thanos rammed the shield and fell back down on his ass. Nox chuckled and lowered the shield.
“Thanos, you may be powerful, but you lack skill. I’ll show you how that’s the case…” Nox said darkly, Nox then slammed his hammer into Thanos’ right cheek sending him careening towards the water. Before he could hit the water Nox hit the Titan up into the air, Thanos then caught himself and looked around, for Nox suddenly vanished. Thanos was then hit on the back of his head sending him downwards towards the water only to be hit away to the main battlefield. As he was launched, Nox followed after the Titan, hitting Thanos with his hammers before landing a hefty swing to Thanos’ chin. Sending him above the clouds, catching himself Thanos then sent Ki blasts down at the clouds hoping for one to hit the Xelor.
“You’re too slow.” Taunted a voice behind him, turning around he found no one was there, Nox was behind Thanos and he slapped Thanos with his hammers once more. Sending him flying through a cloud, but was hit upwards by Nox. The force sent him high, to the point that he could see the atmosphere. Thanos then breathed heavy looking around to spot the Watchmaker, Thanos turned around and Nox was flying after Thanos. He then broke the sound barrier, he then slammed his hammer into Thanos but Nox stuck the hammer to Thanos’ face instead of letting Thanos fly down. Nox then flew down at breakneck speeds, the fighters on the battlefield then turned tail and ran, fearing their safety, Nox let out a roar before slamming Thanos onto the ice. Making a colossal explosion that covered a majority of the battlefield. Thanos got up, his armor was tattered and he spat out some blood. Growling quietly.
"Oh now you've done it… Netsu-Netsu… ERUPTION!!!" Thanos cocked back a fast and Nox flew up to the skies, Thanos then hit the ground and then everything went white...
It was a hellish landscape, the ice was replaced with rock and the water was lava. Grievous coughed up some smoke before looking around at everyone.
"Is everyone okay?" Grievous asked.
“I think so,” Kodo said, reforming from smoke.
Tony slowly got to his feet. His armor was damaged. "No…" Tony wheezed out, his armor was tattered and his glasses were crooked. Tony quickly fixed the glasses before sighing.
Black pointed his hand towards Tony, a green aura taking hold and covered Tony’s form. Any injuries the human had taken disappeared. “Supreme Kai powers are useful huh.” Black said as he turned back to the fight. “Thanos is taking this seriously now.”
Nox flew down from the skies and looked at Thanos, Thanos then powered up to Blue Inferno Edition, mimicking the aura of Super Saiyan Blue. Nox scoffed, Thanos scoffed back.
"You really think that form can handle me?" Nox asked, Thanos tightened his stance.
"Likewise, Watch Guy," Thanos responded, Nox slowly flew down, landing his feet on the ground. The Watchmaker stared at Thanos.
"You asked for it…" Nox then dispelled his hammers before he charged up, his blue eyes had more added detail to them. He then had a dark deep blue aura, the world then began to tremor. A Wakfu Clock appeared behind Nox, and Nox let out a roar, knocking Thanos back. Thanos stumbled backwards, almost touching the magma, not that it would affect him.
"I told you that I was the God of Time, did I?" Nox inquired, his voice was echoey. Thanos was taken aback by this level of power, Nox then summoned a chain made purely out of Wakfu. Nox slowly spun the chain, looking at Thanos in the eyes, Thanos looked Nox back in his. The stare down lasted a few seconds before their fists clashed, sending magma flying and rocks flying too. Nox then wrapped his chain around Thanos' foot before slamming the Titan into a rocky mountain. Nox then pulled on it, Thanos naturally followed after it, clenching his fist and covering it in God Ki, Nox slammed his fist into Thanos. Thanos clenched his teeth, Nox let go of Thanos' leg and Thanos was sent flying. Skipping across magma like a rock before eventually landing on a… Rock.
"Here goes nothing," Thanos flew at Nox and slammed a foot deep in Nox's gut, Nox wheezed before regaining his composure. Thanos and Nox then crossed fists, their fists colliding with another, they then proceed to fly across the place. The two deities clashed over and over again, trails of their aurs followed as they engaged in combat. Thanos fired a few Hot Wind Fists at Nox, Nox in return fired a few Wakfu Blasts at Thanos. The two energies collide and make a dust cloud, Thanos then punches Nox his his gut.
"Netsu Netsu, Dragon's Claw!" The force sent Nox to the magma but Nox stopped himself from reaching it. Nox grunted for some magma had touched him, Nox then flew at Thanos. Nox then elbowed Thanos in his abdomen, before spin kicking Thanos to the ground. Nox then began to charge up a blast, while on the ground Thanos looked up at Nox.
"Hey isn't that one of Gogeta's moves?" Thanos asked, in response to Thanos' question he was met with a thousand Ki and Wakfu blasts raining down upon the Titan. Thanos let out a yelp before trying to escape only to be hit by the blasts. Nox fired more of them off, dust then filled the area where he had blasted Thanos. Nox was suddenly shot in the back by an arrow of light, Nox turned around and it was Thanos. His gauntlet was growing.
"Thanks Link!" Thanos cried out before firing the arrows at Nox, "YOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE YOU PRICK!!!!" Nox then flew off to try and escape the assault but Thanos followed Nox. Firing the arrows down on Nox, Nox flew down a crevasse where Thanos destroyed in the process of following Nox. Nox then turned around, facing Thanos and then put his hands in the Time Stopping manner. Time then froze, then continued as Thanos coughed out some blood before getting launched into the magma. Nox looked down as Thanos sank into the magma like Terminator, Thanos stuck out a middle finger as he sank down.
"Get back here Thanos, come on out and don't hide like a coward." Nox taunted but found Thanos to not respond, behind Nox. Thanos' hands appeared above his head, whilst still in the lava like a shark.
"Dun nun." Thanos said before sinking, Nox turned to the noise only to find Thanos got, Thanos appeared behind Nox, still in the lava.
"Dun nun." Thanos repeated, Nox turned to face Thanos only to find him gone again. Nox rolled his eyes.
"I'm done with this game Thanos, get up here already!" Nox demanded, Thanos appeared behind Nox, no longer in the magma.
"SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!!!" Thanos then punches Nox onto the air, Thanos then flies above Nox. His fists covered in Blue Flames, "Infernal Rainshower!" Thanos began punching Nox at speeds faster than his dad had left him. From his torso to his arms, no place was left unburned, Thanos landed his final punch to Nox's face. Nox hit a rock that began to float on the lava, Thanos landed on the rock. Nox went to his feet and pulled out his sword, Thanos did the same.
"Square up!" Thanos cried out, Nox chuckled actually enjoying this. Nox and Thanos then begin to cross blades like pirates as "He's a Pirate" plays in the background.
"That's gotta be the best pirate I've ever seen…" Katakuri commented from the aircraft
"So it would seem…" Nightmare commented.
“And what the hell about us,” Rainbow asked, motioning to the Four Emperors of Eric’s world.
"Amateurs." Katakuri said, glancing at the living Pride flag.
“Rainbow, leave it be.” Eric said watching the fight unfold. “The Title of Emperor is merely a fear tactic to cease any conflict before it begins.”
“But…” Rainbow began before stopping herself. “You’re right, titles mean nothing all that matters is how you fight.”
"Wrong, titles mean something, it shows how strong you are and how everyone sees you. Your title is what people see you, I am the Strongest in the Universe, what does that make me?" Katakuri turned to the cyan mare.
“It probably means nopony could defeat you.” Rainbow said before thinking a bit. “Save for a Chaos user.”
"That fight was unfair, it was my first fight and first loss. Other than that I bested all of the Gods in combat, and when I say all… I mean, all. Of. Them." Katakuri told the cyan mare.
“That is impressive to say the least,” Sombra said, stepping next to Rainbow. “But like Eric would always tell us, there will always be somepony stronger.”
"...It's been thousands of years and yet I haven't found one who made me fall on my back. Not to mention I haven't encountered anyone who made me go full power." Katakuri pointed out, "It will be a few more years until I find my greatest opponent."
“You know I could show you the stronger opponent you will face?” Eric offered to the Mochi Man
"Eric, look at me, I have been doing this for a long time. Fighting foe after foe yet no one could ever match me, does it look like I would want to be spoiled a chance to see the strongest opponent I would fight, the fighter that would beat me?" Katakuri asked the Shadow Man.
“So is that a yes?” Sombra asked before Eric shook his head
Katakuri stared at Sombra for ten seconds. "No."
“Sombra a strong Champion like Katakuri would rather give up his strength than ruin the surprise of a strong advisory,” Eric said earning a nod of approval from the Mochi Man
Thanos and Nox crossed blades, fighting rhythmically as the song plays every beat was met with a slash. It was like they were dancing and fighting at the same time, the lava then began to go up and down like they were at sea.
"I don't know how any of this is possible but it's amazing." Tony said with a chuckle watching their duel from afar.
“If you think this is amazing, you should’ve seen my fight against Thanos months ago.” Black said with a chuckle.
"I was talking about the sword duel." Tony turned to the Saiyan.
“Sword fight, fist fights, it’s all the same in the end.” Black said with a wave of a hand.
Nox then jumped to land, the "ship" then stopped as if the Gods commanded it to do so. "It's over Thanos, I have the high ground!" Nox said, doing the exact same thing as Obi-wan.
"You underestimate my power." Thanos frowned, Nox shook his head.
"Don't try it!" Nox told the Titan but Thanos didn't listen for he jumped above Obi-wan- I mean Nox. They then crossed blades, Thanos pushed Nox towards the magma, Nox pushed back before Thanos knocked Nox's blade into the magma. They then both stare at it as it sank.
"Well I'm fucked." Nox said but he was then met with a punch to his temple, sending him into a rock that looked quite familiar, similar to the one Golden Frieza was getting wrecked on.
"C'MERE BOY!!!!" Thanos ran after Nox who groaned, Nox walked out from where he was thrown, clenching his fists and covering them in Ryou Haki, when Thanos arrived, he grinned and did the same. Their fists clashed and it sent a tremor that was felt across the planet, they were both blown back by the force. Nox looked down at Thanos above, for he had teleported above the clouds. He then dove down, both of his fists in front of him like superman. Thanos looked up but it was too late, Nox slammed both of his fists into Thanos, the Titan wheezed as the force made a crater as long as Katakuri himself.
"STOP USING ME FOR MEASUREMENTS!!!" Katakuri roared, a vein appearing on his forehead, "I'm not that tall!"
"You're the tallest mother fucker in the room." Eric reminded Katakuri. Katakuri huffed.
"I- You have a point but… Damn it!" Katakuri knew this was a battle he couldn't win and he shut up.
Thanos jumped from his crater and grabbed Nox's helmet and tore it off. Everyone saw an old man but had no wrinkles.
"Oh shit." Nox said before he was punched by Thanos, Nox hit the ground like a bag of rocks. Nox then gets another helmet out and puts it on.
"You guys didn't see that." Nox frowned, Fujitora inhaled.
"I CERTAINLY DIDN'T YOU ASSHOLE!!!!" Fujitora shouted out, growling afterwards.
"Easy there Casanova,” Eric said, patting the swordsman on the back. “You and I both now he didn’t mean it like that”
"...Would you like some Ramen?" Fujitora asked, turning to Arthur who was passing out ramen.
“What’s Ramen?” Eric asked, tilting his head.
"..." Getting flashbacks to Kodo he slowly shared a grin with Shiva, both of them grinning like the Grinch. "Arthur, Ramen's on me." Arthur let out a salute before suddenly in the laps of everyone, was a bowl of Ramen and Chopsticks.
“You know if he’s a food vendor why doesn’t he have a stall set up in the stands?” Maud asked curious about the “Ramen”. “He would make more bits he the audience ate it in the stands”
"Arthur doesn't care if he gets money, he's not that kind of dragon. He enjoys giving people warm stomachs… Dear god that sounds wrong out of context." Fujitora chuckled before digging into his ramen.
“Don’t worry, I understand what you mean,” Eric said to the Blind Marine. “I would love some of it, all I ever ate was Proper food and pony food”
"Already in your hand." Fujitora said, his mouth was full.
Looking down Eric was slightly shocked to see a steaming bowl of food. “How in Hera’s name did you do that?”
"Fastest man in the west." Arthur boasted, flashing Eric a toothy grin.
"Psst, Entity." Entity heard a voice, Entity looked around before looking downwards which was an Eliatrope in a robe.
"GAH WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE!!!" Entity shouted out, the Eliatrope then hushed the Minecraft man.
"Blake, Ryola, and Jasmyn are in position." The Eliatrope informed Entity. Entity nodded.
"Alright." Entity responded to the Eliatrope.
"Do you mind me sitting next to you?" The Eliatrope asked Entity, Entity shook his head, "Thanks." The Eliatrope appeared next to Entity, she was met with a steaming bowl of ramen with chopsticks in it. "Good ol' Arthur at it again!" The Eliatrope laughed before digging in
‘I think I’d be best if you speak within your minds,’ Eric spoke within Entity’s mind.
"How do…" Entity turned to Eric.
‘Dark Telepathy...enables me to speak to anypony who has been touched by either my magic or my power. It also prevents anypony from eavesdropping on our conversation’
"Of course, Eric is so Edgy he is able to invade people's minds. Fuck you Eric." Entity snarked, rolling his eyes.
"Oh don't be like Entity." The Eliatrope told Entity in a baby like manner.
‘Look Entity I wish to apologize to you for earlier. I do believe Ryker is up to something’ Eric spoke into the Minecraft Human's head
"I heard this song and dance before. You apologize then you say you don't apologize about what followed afterwards…" Entity said flatly, "And me and my group already have a plan to beat Ryker."
‘I mean it Entity, I just needed to keep out of the king's eyes, especially since he has a Chaos user for his queen.’ Eric said
"He doesn't really like her from what I heard, he says she's annoying. He told me that when we were in the White Void." The Eliatrope told Eric. The Eliatrope looked at Ryker, a portal suddenly appeared behind Ryker's throne as he sat on it.
‘Even still, from what I’ve heard from the shadows, she still loves him and will do anything to protect him, best to stay on her good side. I don’t think anyone of us could deal with her, I don’t even think Murasame could kill her’
"Hmph, you're right. Let's see who's on the other side of the portal." Entity looked behind him.
‘Way ahead of you’ Eric said lifting his arm as a teardrop shaped shadow blob dropped him his arm and splattered on the floor before rapidly moving through the portal as it closed
“What good will that do?”
The portal revealed Ryker in a library with his back facing them, a portal was there in front of him and Ryker was holding a photo of a young woman that had brown hair and green eyes. They could see Ryker smile. "I can't wait to see you again… Nora."
Merging with natural shadows the blob grew a dark eye as he watched the King.
"...Reveal yourself, I know you're here." Ryker sighed, still facing the portal.
Without warning the Eye shut itself and traveled along the shadows to hide itself, however Ryker sped around before firing a blast of Ki which fried the shadow blob entirely.
Eric’s eyes grow wide as his face shines brightly before exploding and sending him flying into the walls. Ryker leaned on a wall next to Eric.
"Eric, oh Eric, Eric, Eric… You really thought that I couldn't see you?" Ryker asked the Shadow Man, shaking his head.
Eric held his nonexistent head as it started to regenerate with the shadow surrounding him, as one of his eyes regenerated he couldn’t help but glare at the King.
"Oh don't look at me like that, it's your fault for invading my privacy." Ryker rolled his eyes at Eric.
“Well forgive me” Eric said as the last of his head recovered. “I tend to not trust anypony who tries to kill me and threaten the life of the mare I love”
Ryker wrapped his hand around Eric's mouth and pulled him close to Ryker's height which was ten feet tall. "Listen here, Monohan or should I call you Moan-ohan because you always moan and groan. First off, I am no pony, second, I didn't try to kill you. I kicked you in your chest, then the last one was just a precaution, do you think I would kill someone who means so much to someone else? Your late wife is dead, my daughter is gone, we both don't want to lose them again. So please understand that it was nothing but a bluff." Ryker spoke through his teeth, his emerald eyes glowing as he did so.
In turn Eric’s eyes turned pitch black as his Iris’ turned crimson red. “Yeah. And I’m married to Chrysalis, the Changeling Queen.”
"You never know." Ryker chuckled before tightening his grip. "Look, I know why you don't trust me, because you got hurt by big ol' Ryky, and I threatened to kill Princess Luna. For the last time, it was a bluff, I'm not going to kill her." Ryker told Eric, Eric felt his jaw bone begin to crack.
Rubbing his jaw Eric muttered his healing spell under his breath. “Yeah I’ll believe that when Pinkie stops eating sugar,” Eric said moving past the King
"...You know Eric, the more you antagonize me, the more violent our little squabbles are going to get." Ryker told Eric, his back facing his, he summoned his staff and leaned on it.
“Like I care,” Eric said flaring his shadows
"Well, it's a good damn thing I have his token…" Ryker muttered under his breath, opening a portal and a black devil fruit appeared.
“You know your incoherent muttering is useless when someone has heightened hearing.”
"Okay that's It." Ryker appeared beside Eric to land a kick.
Only to be blocked by a shadow shield and the barrel of a gun planted right on his forehead only for him to grab it. He added some pressure to it.
"Oh ho, ho! You wanna go beastie?" Ryker chuckled.
“Look Ryker,” Eric said, causing the King to pause as Eric took the fruit from his hand and absorbing it into his shadow. “I know the pain of losing someone you love so I won’t kill you, only so Screwball doesn’t feel that pain” Eric removed the gun from Ryker’s forehead and stored it into his coat holster.
"Like you can kill me." Ryker said plainly, opening his palm. "How about you just give me the token. Please?" Ryker said, smiling.
“I only give my fruit to those who I trust,” Eric said, evaporating into shadow. “And I don’t trust you.”
"Last warning, give me the token. I said please too…" Ryker warned, his hand then glowed as he opened his palm. Like he was about to open a portal.
However he stopped when he felt a series of blades at his neck. “Leave Eric alone, Ryker” Sombra said pushing his blades into the king's neck
"Alright," Ryker sighed, opening a portal, he brought out three ponies. The ponies were… Amber and both of Sombra's parents. Ryker grinned.
Ryker then snapped his fingers and they both exploded, "Pop goes the weasel!" Ryker sang.
Now while Sombra didn’t bat an eye at his parents second death, Eric was pissed however he quickly put his skull mask on his face.
“Like I said, I don’t trust you,” Eric said to the King as shadow vapor covered the area. “And trust me I am absolutely livid”
"Why do you in particular piss Ryker off so much? You realize he could just send you away or even kill you, right?" Herobrine asked the Shadow Man.
“Eric, stop it,” Maud said slowly walking in between the Shadow Man and the King. “Give me the token.”
"She's right, I apologize Eric, what I did was unprofessional. I am so sorry that you had to witness your lover die again, Sombra. I am sorry for killing and at the same time not killing your parents. I am really sorry, is there anything I can do for you two?" Ryker sighed looking at the two, they sensed nothing negative from his being.
“My Parents died long ago,” Sombra said to the King. “It doesn’t effect me anymore”
"Yeah but I'm still sorry, I will literally give you anything to make you feel better. Do ya want Yoru?" Ryker pulled out Dracule Mihawk's blade out of nowhere.
“Just leave us alone,” Maud said popping the stem off the fruit and handing the fruit to Ryker
"Oh… Alright… I see… If there's anything I can do for you guys let me know. Popcorn, chicken… Yada yada, also I know the token is nothing when it's not complete but I'm keeping it as a souvenir." Ryker said, looking down at it.
“You’re wrong,” Maud said, pushing the stem into Eric’s body. “You’ll still get the power, but without the stem you can’t travel to our world with it”
"Well this is useless," Ryker crushed the fruit, shattering it to pieces, completely forgetting that he would keep it as a souvenir. "I already have Eric's fruit in my vault. Anyways, just to apologize and make it up for you guys. Here's some apology gifts, and I INSIST you guys keep them." Ryker said, focusing on the insist. He held up a bag from a portal each with their names on them.
He then peered down into the bags, "...SCREWBALL GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!!!!" Ryker roared, shaking the ship.
“Has somebody called upon the Goddess of Chaos?” Screwball sang erupting in a pink cloud of stars
"Goddess of Chaos? More like the Goddess of Idiocy, damn moron! Anyways, what did you do with the bags, they're all stuffed animals! And why not beavers?!" Ryker frowned at Screwball.
“Here love,” Screwball snapped her fingers and stuffed beavers fell into everyone’s arms
"THANKS SCREWBALL!!!!" Thanos shouted out from the battlefield, petting his stuffed beaver.
“You’re welcome Crome dome,” Screwball shouted back
"I would be loving this, IF I WASN'T FUCKING BLIND!!!!" Fujitora shouted out, the volume of his voice shook the aircraft.
“Fuji, can you follow the sound of my voice please?” Screwball asked the blind swordsman
"Just because I'm blind doesn't mean I can't see! Wait- Shut up!" Fujitora grumbled, walking over to Screwball.
Placing a hand on the marines head, Screwball's eyes began to spin. Screwball looked at the Stuffed beaver.
“Our minds our linked, you should see what I see”
The beaver wore a white marines jacket with a wooden cane in his hand with a scar over his button eyes
"Aw, it looks so cute!" Fujitora cooed, "Wait you look like that? Dear god you're a lot more beautiful than I expected. Also, that's an insult I expected you to be a dumb looking person given on how you act 24/7." Fujitora told the Chaos Goddess.
“Fuji, While I admit some Chaos users are freakshows” Screwball said looking at the Swordsman showing him exactly how he looked. “I am not.”
"I can't say anything about that." Fujitora replied, he then turned around. "Dear god I can see through someone else's eyes, I HAVE THE POWER RYKER!!!!" Ryker rolled his eyes, snapping his fingers, Fujitora opened his eyes. Being able to see.
"You can see now, I reactivated Moanohan's spell back then because ya know, I do have Dark Magic and some Chaos Magic here and there…" Ryker muttered, Fujitora looked at Ryker.
"Wow, you look like an asshole!" Fujitora noted with a grin, as they hugged each other, "A nice one at that!"
“Fuji be nice.” Screwball said, flicking the marines nose.
"Let him have his moment," Ryker grinned, letting go of Fujitora, Fujitora did the same.
"I am so happy I could sing!" Fujitora said, grinning wildly. Arkham Knight groaned.
"Please don't…" Arkham Knight groaned, reeling his head back.
"You look like that? I expected you to be…" Before Fujitora could finish that sentence Ryker sent off an intimidating aura, Fujitora then stopped. "More… Nice looking…"
"Anyways, I should be off, I must go now to plot an escape if I need one. Which I highly doubt!" Ryker made a portal next to him that led to the library, Ryker then took a step in and left the aircraft. Though they saw Ryker on his throne yawning, Fujitora was dumbstruck at this.
"I have so many questions…" Fujitora mumbled, he then looked at Eric. "Oh my god your look so edgy! Edgy Bastard!" Fujitora then laughed at Eric, doing the whole "Bah! Hahahaha" schtick.
Back on the Battlefield...
“ATATATATATATATA!!!” The two combatants cried out as their fists crossed each other, Thanos threw a kick, Nox blocked it, Nox threw a punch, Thanos blocked it. The process repeated about ten times before they both landed a solid hit on each other’s skulls. Thanos hit the magma and skipped onto land, Nox caught himself and looked down at Thanos.
“I had enough of these games, John, go full power already and I’ll do the same. I want to finish this.” Nox crossed his arms, down at Thanos, Thanos slowly went to his feet.
“No, if I do I would kill you!” Thanos told the Xelor, Nox just tsked, he then brought out a blue cube. This made Ryker stand up.
“The Eliacube...” Ryker said mentally, looking at the screen, Nox just put both of his hands on the Eliacube and began using its power. Noximilien began to charge up, the force of the energy he was exerting pushed the Titan back. Nox then stopped, his aura was similar to Ultra Instinct’s.
”You see Thanos, you’re not dealing with the average Xelor Warrior anymore... I have ascended, I have become a Super Xelor!” Nox declared, Thanos shook at this power, shivering in slight fear.
“Dear god that’s like three Kaido’s in one being!” Thanos shrieked, Thanos looked to the skies. “I need a vote, who wants to see my full power?” Thanos asked literally everyone.
Eric, Sombra and Rainbow Dash were the first to raise their hands causing a large three to appear above the fight
Black stood up and powered up to Super Saiyan Rosé with a smirk. “Thanos! Show them the strength you showed me in your fight!” Black shouted through the battlefield, raising his fist to the sky with Luna Black and Nightmare doing the same. Soon a large six appeared above the fight.
“WOOHOO!!! Show them your strength Beanos!” Luffy shot his hand up, Grievous chuckled before raising his hand, Lucci turned into a leopard, Nappa went to Super Saiyan Four and they raised their hands, grinning. This made it go up to a whopping ten.
“Show us your power, Titan!” Katakuri shot his hand up, the Commanders followed after, Lord Twigo raised his hand up. Towa’s underlings did the same.
“Ho, ho, ho, why not?” Frieza raised his hand up, Mr. Perfect Cell did the same Omega Shenron reluctantly raised his hand. The combination of the Commanders and the Underlings made it go up to twenty eight. Ryker just raised his hand with a smirk, Kyle did the same, bringing it up to thirty. Link didn’t bother voting as he didn’t really care if Thanos did go full power or not, the hylian just wanted to go home as he’s had enough to last a year.
“Oh you gotta be shitting me…” Thanos muttered under his breath, seeing the amount of hands being raised, Erebus and Iron Man raised their hands, it made it rise to thirty two. The Eliatrope raised her hand as well sheepishly making it rise to thirty three.
Shiva arced an eyebrow at the others, before shaking her head. “Do we really need to be reminded of how powerful these people are?” She asked.
“EXACTLY STOP THE VOTE!!!!” Thanos shouted out seeing the vote increase, “God damn it!”
“Why’d the increase?” Shiva asked, “I voted no!”
She then noticed Kodo, his tail wagging like a guilty dog as his claw raised into the air. Shiva face planted on the ground in exasperation.
“Curse it,” Shiva mumbled.
“Are you alright?” Fujitora asked looking at the dog, “Oh, and I can see now.”
“Huh,” Shiva mused. “I thought something was going on beyond my worry for my son.” She rolled to her side and grinned up at Fujitora. “So, Issho; what do you think?”
“I think you are a dog, and an adorable one at that.” Fujitora walked over to Shiva and pat her on the head with a smile.
Shiva grinned, her tail wagging as she leaned into his touch.
“Though my sight is temporary, I wish it could last a little more than an hour.” Fujitora chuckled before pulling his hand back.
Shiva hummed softly. “Well,” she replied. “Enjoy it while it lasts.” She watched Kodo, who was thankfully staying on the sidelines.
“...Kodo looks like that?” Fujitora asked, pointing at the canine, “Dear god he is shorter than I expected. Star Wars Reference.” Fujitora whispered that last bit.
“He is still a child,” Shiva replied quietly. “Despite what the world has forced him to do.”
“Oh… I forgot about that.” Fujitora hummed, “Wait, what happened when he fought Rubilax?”
Shiva chuckled. “He impressed me,” she admitted. “Somehow, his smoke-smoke fruit allowed him to increase his size to that of a dragon. Then he used his diamond dog heritage to bury the Rubilax.” Her grin faded. “A shame it didn’t work to beat the creature, but at least Grievous was there to finish the job by launching Rubilax into space.”
“...What?” Fujitora asked Shiva, looking at Grievous through the screen who’s cape has caught on fire yet again for standing too close to magma.
Before Shiva could reply, Kodo raced over to Grievous and dragged him from the magma. Only for Kodo’s fur to catch on fire as well.
Shiva yelped in sync with her son as he darted away from the magma. “Kodo!” Shiva shrieked, “Stop, drop and roll! Remember the dragon protocol!”
Kodo dove into the ground, smothering the flames in dirt, while Grievous then stop, dropped, and rolled, unfortunately for the General he was close to magma and rolled into it, only for both his Water Sword and his Air Sword to activate and turn the magma to ice. Grievous rolled across the ice screaming as pieces of magma shot from the ice as he rolled to other land.
Kodo’s pack link launched from the dirt and seized the General, dragging him back for safer land.
“...They’re fun.” Fujitora chuckled.
Shiva sighed. “You have a very… interesting definition of fun.”
“At least Kodo has Grievous to watch over him, er… They watch over each other. Honestly I think Grievous is faking it, he’s a Dragon Slayer, he should be resistant to…” Before Fujitora could finish he noticed Grievous just stood there on fire and standing there unflinchingly, “Fire…”
“This is fine.” Grievous said while looking at Thanos, Grievous took a sip of tea, holding it to his mouth. His mouth then opened mechanically and he ingested the drink.
Kodo watched Grievous burn for a moment, before glancing up towards Shiva. Shiva shrugged, causing Kodo to just shrug, before settling in the dirt and curling up like a sleeping dog.
“Fine, I’ll show you guys my power.” Thanos groaned, which earned cheers from the crowd. Grievous quickly put water on his body before looking down at Kodo.
“Boy, get behind cover pronto.” Grievous warned the pup, wide-eyed.
Kodo nodded, diving deep into the earth and creating a foxhole. Grievous just dug his claws deep into the ground and crossed his arms, Iron Man just flew off, fearing for his safety. Black stood his ground as he crossed his arms, smirking.
“Now… I’ll show you all how just outclassed you all are…”
“As if we didn’t know that already?” Shiva mused, but everyone ignored her, more focused on the spectacle.
“Let me show you my full power!” Thanos began to charge up, and just like it did with Goku, lightning began to strike all over the place, because he is a metal man, Grievous was struck first.
“Ow.” Grievous groaned, Thanos’ blue aura changed to white, magma and rock then form on his fists.
“Tekkai, Go!” Thanos covered his body in Tekkai before covering his body in Armament Haki. He then used Conqueror’s Haki to multiply his strength. “KAIO-KEN TIMES FIFTY!!!!” A deep red aura surrounded the Titan and a pillar of white shot up from his location. Going above the clouds and clearing the smoke in the air. There was nothing but blue skies and there was Thanos, lightning was around his body with a mixture of a white, purple, and red aura. Thanos took a singular step before appearing at Nox’s face. Nox and Thanos then clashed fists which sent Grievous flying, doing the Goofy scream he was launching over the horizon. A bugs bunny styled worm sign followed after him as Kodo dug through the earth to follow him.
“Is it hot in here or…” Fujitora asked, feeling the heat against his body, Katakuri noticed that his scarf was on fire.
“Oh…” Katakuri said before patting it out only for it to burn again, “God fucking damn it.”
Shiva felt her own fur start to burn. “What is happening?” she demanded, patting and whacking at her smoldering body.
“I don’t know! AAAAA!!!!” Luffy shouted, running around in circles as he was on fire.

Thanos and Nox clashed, the earth began to shake and quake at the force of the two gods. Every fist clashed sent a tremor, Thanos landed a sledgehammer down on Nox, sending him flying to the magma. But the cheeky bastard stopped time and reappeared next to Thanos, time was now continuing. Nox landed a right hook to Thanos’ right jaw, Thanos was sent flying into the ground. Thanos halted himself from flying into the magma by digging his feet into the ground. Thanos flew at Nox, raising his leg Nox blocked the attack.
“I hate you man,” Thanos grinned, before landing a punch in Nox’s face. Nox then landed an uppercut to Thanos’ jaw, Thanos then headbutts the Watchmaker sending him flying down. Thanos followed after Nox, using his Wakfu Reserves, Nox forged a shield of Wakfu. Thanos punches the shield and it, again, makes a tremor. Nox then pushed the Titan off of him, Nox then resummoned his chain. Nox threw the chain and it wrapped around Thanos’ foot, Nox then threw the Titan over him and slammed Thanos into a pile of rocks.
“Get up, Titan!” Nox demanded, Thanos got up and got in a fighting stance. Thanos then shot off at Nox and landed a devastating punch to his gut.
“First Stance… FIST OF THE BLACK TURTLE!!!” Thanos cried out, Nox wheezed, Nox stumbled backwards.
“Second Stance… VERMILLION BIRD!!!” A pillar of magma absorbed the Xelor. Luffy and Shiva winced at the aftermath; Nox was burnt yet wasn’t dead yet. Nox squeaked.
“Third Stance… WHITE TIGER!!!” Thanos unleashed hell upon the Xelor, Nox felt the full force of Thanos’ might. Punches and kicks all landed on the old man. Then Thanos stopped and put up his fists to Nox, one on top of the other.
“Last Stance… AZURE DRAGON!!!!” A blue dragon tore through the Xelor like a hot knife through butter, Nox wheezed as a trench about as wide as Katakuri is long and as deep as thirty meters. Nox fell down the trench and lava began to slowly fall down there… Only for a tiger made out of Wakfu to jump above Thanos. Inside of it was Nox, it was like Kung Fu panda 3 all over again.
“Bullshit.” Thanos said with a frown, Nox flew at Thanos and slapped the Titan away with his paw. Thanos was sent hurling across the hellish landscape and into a boulder. Nox then flew at Thanos, Thanos got up and slammed his fist into the boulder, now wearing it. Thanos flew at Nox and landed a punch to his muzzle, causing the boulder to shatter. Thanos then did a backflip in the air and landed a kick on the Wakfu Tiger’s nose, this sent Nox up. Nox then stopped and looked down at Thanos, Nox then fired off balls of Wakfu down upon Thanos. Thanos then fired light arrows at the Wakfu balls. The two forces collided and made a dust cloud. Iron man turned to Black.
“I think this is going to be quite a rousing finale…” Tony said cheekily, seeing the two combatants fly from the dust cloud and clash.
“Definitely, their final blows will probably shake the entire planet, no...” Black said, smirking. “This’ll probably shake the solar system.”
“HWATA!!!!” Thanos and Nox clashed, then the two stopped. Thanos looked at Nox with a grin, “I think it’s time we end this.”
“I couldn’t have said it better myself.” Nox then appeared far away from Thanos, on the other side of Antartica.
“Hey guys, you might want to hold onto me,” Black said as the Saiyan motioned his hand to get close to him..
“Don’t mind if I do…” Tony scooted closer to the Saiyan and put a hand on his shoulder, “This is awkward.”
Black let out a little laugh and created a barrier around them. “This won’t be able to hold, but it'll at least keep us from being injured by the shockwave.” Black explained as he created a few more barriers.
“Save some for us,” Kodo called to Black, popping out of the ground with Grievous’ leg clutched in his teeth.
“Pain.” Grievous grunted, “Boy, let go of my leg.” Grievous ordered the canine weakly.
“Once you’re safe,” Kodo replied, jumping into the barrier as Black opened it. Once they were inside, he let go of Grievous’ leg. “See?”
“Alright, let’s enjoy this.” Grievous crossed his arms looking at the event that was yet to unfold. Grievous dug his claws into the ground.
Black then closed the barriers. “You still might want to hold onto me, these barriers won’t be able to hold once the shockwave hits.” Black explained.
“You got it,” Kodo said, immediately latching onto Luna’s leg, as she held onto Black. Grievous held onto Tony who held hands with Black.
Nox began to fly at Thanos, Thanos then flew at Nox, his gauntlet fist was covered in Armament Haki, strengthened by Tekkai Go, added with Magma and Rock, added in Alicorn Magic and Ki, not to mention Lightning and Fire. He then broke the sound barrier, Nox flew at Thanos and converted the Wakfu around him to a gauntlet.
“OMEGA… HEAT…!!!!” Thanos began, the pressure of the attack already shaking the planet.
“XELOR... DEITY…!!!” Nox began as well, the two forces were about to clash.
“CRASH!!!” Thanos threw a punch.
“FIST!!!” Nox threw his punch… Suddenly everything went white, the aircraft was flipped upside down by the force. Immediately Katakuri then used his Mochi to make a spiderweb to make sure everyone didn’t get harmed. Link had to use his lens of truth just to see what was going on.
Black saw the shockwave coming, “Shit…” Black muttered as he prepared himself. As soon as the shockwave made contact with the barriers Black set up, they shattered like glass. Black grunted as he grabbed everyone and let out a roar. “KAIO KEN TIMES 50!!” His aura appeared with red on the edges as the Saiyan planted his feet into the ground. But Black was being pushed back as he made mini trenches in the ground. “HOLD ON!!!” Black yelled as the group tried to hold their ground against the powerful shockwave.
“Princess Luna,” Kodo cried as he hung onto her. “If this doesn’t work out, I want you to know I really-really like you!” He paused, glancing around for Eric. “Or at least the version of you from my world!”
Luna chuckled softly. “This will work out, young one,” she assured him. “And when you return to your world, follow your heart.”
“MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!!!!” Grievous went Kaio-Ken and he tucked himself downwards, using his metal claws to halt himself. Though he was still being forced back, grunting as he tried to not get blown away like earlier.
Black felt himself being lifted off the ground, he scoffed as he created a Ki climbing axe, he struck the ground as it held. He created ki ropes as threw them around everyone, he then tied them to the ki axe as he held on. Additional pack links bound around his arms, strengthening the ropes and anchoring them to the ki axe. When Black looked back, he saw Kodo glowing, channeling the pack link to aid them. Kodo caught Black’s eyes and gave him a nod of support. Using his Earth Sword, Grievous made a rock wall behind them to support themselves as well as using his Air Sword to push the roaring winds.
“OH SHI-” Nappa cried out before he fell into the net, everyone else following right after.
“Thank you, Katakuri,” Shiva called.
“You’re welcome, Lady Shiva.” Katakuri grunted, “Kinda stuffy in here…”
But on the battlefield there lied both Thanos and Nox on their backs, Thanos tried to get up but his body failed him. Nox attempted to get up as well, though his old body forced him back down. Ryker slowly got up shaking his head.
“Alright… Start the countdown!” Ryker ordered.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxpdFxnyrgw
“Five!”
Thanos grunted, moving his arm to try and get up. Nox used a bit of his Wakfu to thrust himself onto his stomach.
“Four!”
Thanos went to his stomach, pushing himself up, his muscles being strained. Nox was doing the same trying to get up as well.
“Three!”
Thanos went to his knees, Nox doing the same letting out a loud grunt doing so.
“Two!”
Thanos and Nox shot up from the ground, letting out a roar of determination, though their voices were hoarse due to the shot from earlier. Thanos got in a stance and Nox just stood there, looking at Thanos.
“Damn…” Nox then fell on his back, Thanos paused, he peered down on his downed foe, Thanos stumbled backwards before forcing himself to keep his balance. Thanos then grinned, Link, Phoenix, Nox’s Children, the Dragon, and now Nox had been defeated.
“I WON!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!! LET’S GOOOOO!!!!!” Thanos ripped off whatever he had on except for the clothes that hidden his nether regions.
Shortly after, Black dismissed all of the ki ropes and axe as he stood up. He turned to the others who seemed to be in a daze. “You guys alright?” Black turned his attention to his friend. “Son of a Bitch, you fucking did it… you did it you sexy son of a bitch.” Black then jumped into the air with a raised fist. “THATS IT MY FRIEND, YOU’VE WON!!! HAHA!!!” Black laughed with glee, Grievous began to laugh with Black as well.
"Well the purple man won… Yay…" Tony grunted, shaking his head to try and regain his composure.
“I can’t feel my fur,” Kodo mumbled, his fur spiked up like he had been hit by lightning.
“PELVIC THRUST!!!!!” Thanos then did a Vector and began pelvic thrusting, “I’M THE BEST AROUND!!! NOBODY CAN EVER TAKE ME DOWN!!!!” Thanos sang, grinning like a mad man.
“Just wait until a Displaced Chuck Norris exists, Thanos' ego will quickly deflate.” Link said joking to the others as he hid the side of his face using his left hand.
“Please, by everything sacred, no more ridiculously overpowered displaced,” Shiva moaned.
“WOOHOO!!!” Luffy pumped his fist up, grinning, Nappa, Lucci, and Entity doing the same.
Black landed back on the ground and turned to the others, noticing they had some little injured. He pointed a hand at them and they began to have a green glow. Shortly their injuries were gone.
“And my body is failing me, oof.” Thanos hit the floor, wheezing when he impacted the fiery ground.
Black noticed this and flew over with haste towards his friend. He landed and looked down at Thanos with a smile. “Well, you won your first tournament, how do you feel?” Black asked.
“I feel like I’m the strongest there is… besides Ed of course…” Thanos groaned.
“Just don’t let it get to your head. Let's get you healed up” Black commented as he began to heal the Mad Titan and used ‘Clothes Beam’ to replace his damaged clothing.
“The winner is… Thanos The Mad Titan!” Ryker announced and everybody began to cheer, the aircraft went back to normal, not upside down. Katakuri nodded in pure respect.
“W-well… I was close… T-to winning…” Nox said like a husk, forcing his head to look at Thanos and Black.
“And you gave it your all, which you have my respect for.” Black said as he walked over to him. “But I doubt you could move right now… Supreme Kai Powers activate!” Black exclaimed as he healed Nox.
Nox slowly got up, now healed. “That is by far one of your most useful skills.” Nox said with a grin, his smile partly showing.
“The only useful thing I learned from Zamasu…” Black commented, a hint of anger in his voice.
“Bah don’t worry about that best buddy!” Thanos wrapped his arm around Black’s neck, “You come here too for that great fight!” Thanos wrapped his arm around Nox’s neck. Thanos began to hug them tightly, making them choke.
“Thanos… air! You're doing the… thing again!” Black choked out as he tried to gasp for air.
“What thing?” Thanos asked the pair.
“When we first met, you did the same thing!!” Black explained as his face began to turn purple.
“You’re... choking us you dimwit…” Nox wheezed.
“Oh.” Thanos let go of them and they fell down like a pile of rocks. “You’re welcome.”
“Uh huh.” Blacks voice was muffled as his face was on the ground.
“Now you guys! Let me give you guys a hug!” Thanos looked at the people who were on the battlefield. Link was reminded of a scene in Ocarina of time where the Gorons would try to give you a hug.
“FUCKING RUN KODO!!!!” Grievous then turned tail and ran, and boy did he go Forrest Gump on this bitch. Kodo was only able to keep up by catching the tail end of his scorched cape with his teeth, which he held onto for dear life as Grievous booked it across the field.
Black sat up and looked at the running pair, letting out a laugh. He got a glimpse of a flashback, seeing him and the original bearers of the elements of Harmony training together. A sad smile appeared on the Saiyans face. “Thanos and his friends are just like you guys…” Black muttered.
