“Hey Sebastian, Sebaste, I just got an incoming message from our forces at the Cadian Gate. They said that Ahriman and his guys are there attacking. I think that they might need some help.” Echo called out.
Sebastian nodded and activated the comms. ++All UDE members, report to the throne room, this is not a drill!++ He ordered.
“Commissar Craner reporting, I'm on my way.”Replied the steadfast officer.
“This is Maria. The Titan Defenders are on their way down.” Maria said from the CCS bridge comm.
“This is Ultron in route.” Ultron’s voice said from the comms.
“I’ll be there.” Yubel answered.
“I’m geared up and ready.” Allen’s voice ranged out.
“Anderson, on my way.”
“This is Kirito and Asuna. We’ll be with you momentarily” replied a soothing voice through the comms.
Two new portals then opened up inside the throne room. And out of one of the portals came a voice and a tall being.
“Tonight, Gascoigne joins the hunt.” Shouted the being.
Sebaste jumped in surprise, jerking his head to look at the new arrival.
“Geez, don’t do that!” The Spartan said, holding his hand to his chest. “Nearly had a heart attack…”
“Oh, I’m sorry little one. I meant no harm, it’s just that I so rarely get to say that these days.” The one known as Gascoigne apologized.
“It's fine, good to know that we have you as an ally” Sebaste said.
Allen walked right in. “Reporting in, so this is it? The war begins?” The power lotto adventurer asked.
Sebastian nodded. “As soon as the others arrive, we’ll explain.”
Rider, Maria, John, and Qi’meen entered not long after Sebastian finished his sentence, “Titans reporting for duty.” the four saluted.
“Echo here.” Echo called out from the passage that lead to the communications room.
In a flash of light, Ultron appeared with pages and darkness signaling Anderson and Yubel teleporting in.
“I'm here, what's is the situation?” asked the newly arrived commissar.
“We’re here as well” responded Asuna, followed by Kirito both of whom appeared through a portal. A moment later, a large bulkhead appeared on a wall, stepping out were two familiar shapes and a third, unusually designed, shape.
"Sup bros," Charlie greeted as he walked out in his dive suit, Theresa riding on his air tanks with a scrapped and rebuilt Sanghelian Combat Harness over her dress, the slightest flicker of her shields was visible while she held her blood-bag bag in one hand and the leash to a six armed Big Sister in the other.
“Charlie, Theresa, good to see you guys again, you left two of your buddies here.” Sebaste said to the two. “Who’s that with you?”
Theresa smiled as she thought of the story behind the spider sister, "Let's just say, Charlie said a really stupid thing, got a hole in his armour thanks to a alternate Celestia, craziness supreme and Alvis' fault and not go into disgusting, horrifying, and very illegal explanations. She's not a who, more of a pet; her name is Freja!" The aforementioned Freja yanked at her leash before releasing a blood curdling shriek.
Someone else, unknown to the others, walked in. He was wearing what appeared to be early 2000’s combat gear. He looked around the room, then saw the others.
“Who’s side are you all on?”
Points at Sebastian and Sebaste. “Who do you think?” Questions Echo.
Sebastian walked up to the new arrival. “Who are you?” He asked him.
“Ummm… I am Specialist Mike Smith, from another dimension.” He said, looking up at the figure. “And you are?”
“Sebastian, co-leader of the United Defenders of Equestria” The Astartes answered.
“Okay… I lived in Equestria in my dimension, but was born in The United States Of America” Mike said. “So I take it I may be joining you if any threats pop up?”
Sebastian nodded. “Unless you’re with the New Black Legion or are neutral.”
“I don’t know who this ‘New Black Legion’ is, but I am guessing they are the enemy” Said Mike. “Sign me up.”
Suddenly the lights all dimmed as a giant holographic figure of a Chaos Space Marine appeared in the throne room above Celestia’s throne. ”Greetings, pathetic members of the UDE. I am Warsmith Keagan, lord and master of the Iron Warriors Legion, Butcher of the Crystal Empire, Warmaster of Equestria and I have decided to bless you with my presence.”
“Wow ego much?” Allen asked.
“I don’t like the sound of this one. I think he may be trouble.” Gascoigne commented while sharpening the stake on his stake driver.
“Umm… What?” Said Mike, who had never seen a hologram in person.
"Cool effects bro, I can make out every pore on your ugly ass... Oh. That's your face, my most sincerest apologies." Theresa added from her spot on Charlie's air tanks.
“I may not be from the Warhammer Universe, but I know that Chaos Space Marines are not the nicest out there.” Maria said as she moved forward slightly.
“Heretic filth!” Spat the commissar hatred filling his voice.
“Wait, Chaos?” Allen asked. “He looks like a War God’s Champion to me.”
“In a way they are. They serve the Chaos Gods.” Maria said as she examined the hologram.
“What do you want, Keagan?” Sebastian snarled. “I’m already on edge, so spit out what you have to say.”
“Why Sebastian, you insult me! I would have thought that you would have been happy to see your only way of winning this war and I just want to deliver a couple of warnings. The Necrons seek to distract you from Cadia and If I see a SINGLE Imperial Fist among your number the deal is off and Craner, I would hold your tongue Particularly since my legion has intimate dealings with the Death Korps”
“What the fuck is that?” Asked Mike, not thinking twice about his profanity.
Charlie walked over to Mike and patted on the back, "That my new old friend, is a punk ass, that's one of the ignorant bitches in need of a good, hard pimp slap that'll put them back into place." He told him before he released a growl, "*cum stained whore.*"
“Okay then… What the hell do I call it?” Asked Mike, Feeling an urge to pull out his shotgun from his back, but refrained.
“I say you call it tracked.” Echo called out before Theresa could translate Charlie's growl, followed by the location the transmission was coming from being broadcasted to everyone.
“Ah ah ah, you really think I would transmit from a traceable vox channel? The location you are seeing is actually the location of one of many servitor manned transmitting satellites that my legion has set up to confuse our enemies to our location and Charlie I do not worship Slaanesh nor am I ne of the Emperor's Children, so none of that applies to me.”
At this point Mike is just confused as hell. “What the fuck?”
“You’re lucky that we don't have Imperial Fists.” Sebaste spoke up. “But don't think that just because you’re helping us, we’re allies. You keep your end of the deal, we’ll keep ours.” Sebaste then took off his helmet, revealing short red hair and green eyes that glared at the hologram. “We’ll see you at the gate, don't try and pull off anything before we get there.”
“Ahriman’s not going to be with my army for Cadia, he is going to meet up with us after we break through at a planet called Baal i believe. However, leave some of your forces at cadia so the battle looks authentic, even if the majority of the Infantry are conscripts”
The Spartan nodded. “We’ll set up an ambush for him when we get there. Sebaste out.” he then cut the transmission.
“What just happened?” Asked Mike, toying with a grenade.
“I believe that we have what is called a rat in the enemy ranks.” Answered Gascoigne.
Mike nodded. He did have a Military background, so he knew he meant a spy.
“Great, how long do you think it will last?” Ultron asked.
“Well, I for one do not personally trust anyone who sides with the Chaos Gods but if Sebastian and Sebaste are willing to even remotely trust that man I will follow them.” Rider said as he walked up next to Maria.
“You think we trust him?! We trust him as far as trusting a psychopath!” Sebaste said, earning an irritated groan from Charlie, “Which is to say none actually.”
“Well if we are going to ambush Ahriman how should we do it?” Yubel asked.
“Right, that’s enough standing around. The plan is Sebaste and I lead a strike force to the Cadian Gate. There should be Imperial forces already there, plus one of Ultron’s legions. Ultron, you and your group are with us, same with Kirito, Asuna, and Echo. Gascoigne and Mike will also be coming. Maria and Craner, you stay here, we’ll let you know when we need you and in the meantime, let any other Displaced that show up know what the situation is.”
Sir. I'll be at the forward base near Ponyville.” Replied the commissar before he left the room.
“Well I’ll see see you all there,” Ultron said with a smile, “If you haven’t guessed I am the legions.” He said.
“I will prepare the CCS. The crew will need to be briefed on who is friend and who is foe. Also I need to see what our equipment inventory is like on the ship.” Maria responded as she motioned for the three other Titan Defenders to follow her out the room.
“Ummm, Okay. I’ll be with you then.”
“I better go make sure the communications don’t go down anytime soon. Hey Gascoigne, can you come with me? I don’t like to be alone in there.” Echo asked the tall man who nodded.
“Charlie, Theresa, you’re also on reserve call. We’ll let you know when you’ll be needed.” Sebaste told the two BioShock Displaced. Theresa nodded as Charlie started to select his equipment, Freja's head darting every which way to stare at the others.
“All right, Let's move it out!” Sebastian ordered. “Anyone who needs transport can ride with me and Sebaste on the Emperor's Hammer.”
Sebaste then activated a portal leading to the flagship before stepping through, followed by Charlie and his company.
“Those who are coming with us, the portal leads to our ship. Let's move out, I don't want to keep those traitors waiting!” Sebastian said.
As Asuna and Kirito separated from the group they began to quickly move towards higher ground before Kirito pulled out Craig’s Sniper Rifle as Asuna laid down next to him before Kirito whispered “what targets are there?”
“Well they're all scattered around. I can see Khârn destroying a bunch of Ultron’s along with a bionicle looking thing I think.” explained Asuna
“Khârn’s probably too heavily armored for a round to get through his armour at this range and i know little about the other guy anyone else that could be suitable?” Asked Kirito before turning to check for any other targets.
Asuna then said “behind Khârn there seems to be a guy who got little armour on maybe an easy kill?”
Kirito then looks around where he was directed before he whispered “No chance, that's Madara Uchiha he’d sense a round before we even shot one bullet.” I then look up to what appeared to be ships of some kind tearing through the Ultrons before landing as another ship landed and a group of soldiers walked out followed by the familiar image of Keagan.
I then place my finger over the tigger before whispering “that double crossing little bitch, she’s a damn spy.”
Asuna then placed a hand on his side before saying “wait… Sabastian’s there let him deal with them just calm down and wait for the prime moments to take out one of her men.”
I then take a deep breath before a chain of shots ring out traveling towards one of the soldiers only for the bullets to bounce of the helmet leaving little damage whatsoever. I then sighed as I muttered “well that was pointless”
“Well you just need to find another target” said Asuna.
“Okey then” replies Kirito as they continued to scan the battlefield for enemies.
After a few minutes with even less success a call came over the Comlink that said ++ All UDE forces, we’re pulling out immediately! We’re returning back home.++
Kirito the looks to Asuna before he muttered “let's head back”
Asuna then nods to him as multiple symbols surround Kirito before they both go invisible and disappear back into the darkness.
As soon As Kirito and Asuna arrived back on The Emperor's Hammer they both headed directly towards the back of the ship as the began to search for a place to practice.
After a few minutes of walking down numerous hallways they found a large room that had little in terms of furnishing except a few training dummies around the side of the room.
Kirito then turned to Asuna before he said “This will do” He then quickly changed into his Spriggan form and drew a black long sword before he said “Fire a few waves of magic at me and i’ll try to deflect them”
Asuna then looked me before she muttered “if you’re sure about this,” She then walks towards the opposite wall before she turned around, looked at Kirito nervously before she said “Ek skýt fjórir ískaldur ör” and with that four ice shaped arrows flew towards Kirito at hight speed.
Kirito then quickly rested his long sword on his back before it glowed in a bright blue light along the blade as the arrows moved towards him at high speed. He then looked up as he smiled before he sliced the first arrow using a downward slash, the second by spinning clockwise, then swinging it counterclockwise to destroy the third, he then jumped into the air as the blade followed behind him before he cut the final arrow with his sword by slashing it upwards as he was surrounded by what almost looked like falling snow.
Kirito the sheathed his sword before she said “Liz really was an amazing blacksmith wasn’t she?”
“I suppose she was good at what she did,” muttered Asuna.
Kirito the sighed before saying “well at least we may end up seeing her again… if we are going to be put in stone we may be around when the empire reappears.”
“We’ll just have to wait for that day” muttered Asuna
We then heard a voice over the Comlink say. ++Kirito, Asuna, I need you at the bridge.++
Asuna then replied was then hear over the comlink. ++I’ll be there soon, Kirito may take a bit longer.++ she responded before the comlink shut off.
Kirito then glared at her before he said “Really… why will it take longer?”
“You always do that's why”
“Fine… let's get moving, we don’t want to leave then waiting” replied Kirito. With that they both made their way towards the bridge.
As Kirito and Asuna arrived at the bridge then looked around to see that none of the Displaced were around.
They then both looked at eachother before Asuna said “they must have left already.”
“I guess that means we won’t be needed” Replied Kirito before he continued to say “We might as well rest and get our energy back for the next fight.”
Asuna then nods at him before she said “I’m with you on that; let’s just head to our room and rest.”
Kirito then smiled before he said “lead the way.” they then left the room and make there way back to their quarters.
Terra's Wrath arrived in realspace above Equis and deployed in a blockade formation. Aboard Emperor's Hammer, Sebastian and Sebaste prepared to portal down with the other Displaced aboard the ship.
“This is it,” Allen said, and in a flash he was covered in armor and a power sword was in his hands. Yubel cracked her neck.
“Agreed,” Sebastian said to the power lotto Displaced. “This time Ahriman will fall!”
“Sir! Incoming message from Commissar Craner!” one of the comms ponies called out.
“Can anyone hear me? Please respond!” radioed the commissar.
“This is Sebaste, go ahead Commissar!” Sebaste voxed back
“I require an orbital strike on these quadrants! Heavy enemy infantry force present! Fire for effect!” replied the commissar as the firing data was sent to the fleet.
Suddenly warp klaxons were heard, and a lone Space Wolves strike cruiser appeared in front of the blockade. Sebaste quickly opened a channel to the ship and said, ++This is Sebaste on the Emperor's Hammer. Identify yourself. Are you friend or foe?++
“This is Valiant Charge of the Space Wolves. We have come to offer our support.”
++You came in the nick of time! Send down whatever troops you have and prepare for battle, Equestria must not fall! Sebaste out.++ The link cut off after that.
“You heard the Spartan!! Let’s show these bastards how a wolf fights!!” Valiant raised his power claws as his troops broke out in a warcry and drop pods were soon sent down to the planet's
surface.
“LET’S MOVE OUT!” Sebastian roared to the Displaced on the ship. “FOR EQUUS!” He then opened a vox channel to the Commissar. “Where are the enemy troops and what do they look like?”
“Heavy troops near Canterlot, mostly Iron Warriors, with a mix of Daemons and cultist. They seem to be massing to hit my main force at the forward base at Ponyville,” supplied the commissar.
A helicopter flew over to the position, and out of the hull comes Mike, with a MG, and a M9.
“Reporting in, sir!”
“Keagan! If he’s there, talk to him under a white flag, and alert him that Ahriman is still alive!”
“I can't leave, I'm fighting off the crystal ponies to the north of canterlot!” replied the officer. Gun fire could be heard over the radio. “Hold the line!”
“Blast…” the Astartes swore. “I’ll send backup as soon as I can!”
“Hurry! Enemy forces outnumber mine by a margin of 1000 to 1!’
Mike walked over to Sebaste. “Orders?”
Kirito and Asuna then walked in before Asuna said, “How fast could you get us there?”
“Opening a portal now!”
“Sir, orders?!” said Mike.
“Get ready to portal in 3..2..1..NOW!” Sebaste yelled as the portal opened to Canterlot.
Kirito then smirked before he announced, “time to actually make a difference”
Mike entered the portal, M249 SAW ready to fire. Upon going through, he found he was swamped by foes. He opened fire with his MG. “DIE YOU FUCKS!” he yelled.
The two leaders of the UDE charged through the portal into a battlefield. Sebastian quickly
summoned a Stormtalon and jumped in. Activating the engines, he screamed into the air and flew off towards where Craner was.
Mike’s MG clicked, and he fired all two hundred rounds in the box magazine. He stopped to
reload, but he had killed at least 150 foes.
Meanwhile, Sebaste had noticed two new figures standing by the doors of the palace. One looked like a metal humanoid hedgehog, while the other was a regular human. “Who are you two?” he called out to them.
“I'm Metal Sonic,” Metal stated simply.
“And I am Symbol Shattered. We're sorry we couldn't get here sooner, but unfortunately our teleporter decided to fuck us over and send us to some random world,” Symbol groaned. “In any case, we’re here to help in any way we possibly can. We have even brought a few items with us to give all of our allies a power boost.”
“It’s fine. Asuna, Kirito, Allen, Yubal! We have a war to fight!” the Spartan yelled “You two are with me. Hope you’re not afraid of heights!” he said as he summoned a Pelican.
“Heh, yeah, like I would be afraid of heights,” Metal chuckled. “If it's alright with you I think I'll just fly alongside that thing.” He started his engine and began to hover beside the vehicle, waiting for them. Symbol rolled his eyes and boarded the Pelican.
Sebaste nodded then boarded the Pelican with the others. As soon as the troop bay closed, the Gunship lifted off and blasted towards the battle taking place, Metal Sonic following close behind.
A voice rang through the comms. ++This-- Sebaste, I need-- repeat immediate back--++
“I can get there the fastest,” Metal said, before using chaos control to teleport to Sebaste’s location.
++This-- Kirito and Asuna. We’ll-- back you-- from --++
“Come on, we better get to Valiant’s position and reinforce him,” Sebastian said to Symbol and Craner.
“Yes sir!” replied the Commissar.
“Right behind you,” Symbol said with a confident smile.
“Move out!” With that, Sebastian summoned an attack bike and jumped into the driver's seat.
“Anyone want to take the Heavy Bolter?” he asked.
“I might as well,” Symbol said stepping forward.
With that, the gathered allies headed towards where Valiant was pinned down.
A figure walked into a portal to the Canterlot Throne room, his armor black. He stared down the
Equestrian Royalty while his forces killed off any guardsmen in the room.
“Greetings, Celestia, Luna,” Ahriman began. “I must say, your allies have put up an impressive fight. But it ends now.”
“Of course, Warmaster,” Luna replied, bowing, while Celestia looked on in shock.
“Oh, of course she’s a traitor. Totally called it,” Anderson said, walking in.
“Well, who wants to kill this heathen,” mocked Kirito.
“You think you can defeat me? Amusing,” Ahriman chuckled, transporting Luna to his Kamui
realm as he retrieved the Scythe he had stolen from Charlie.
The roof suddenly caved in as the bat winged figure of deamon lord keagan plunged through,
crushing Asuna beneath the rubble. “GREETINGS, WARMASTER. I HOPE YOUR TRAVEL HERE WAS PLEASANT”
“Seriously,” sighed Kirito as he drew his swords, before saying, “Ahriman alone… no I couldn’t beat you, but I‘m not alone.”
Appearing next were Yubel and Allen. “So we were betrayed again?”
“You called?” Sebastian asked as Sebaste, Symbol, and him teleported in. “Both sides have been double crossed, as of now, I’m calling a truce so that we can deal with Keagan,” he said to Ahriman.
Symbol looked around the room and to Keagan before chuckling. “Man...you make Xram look like a fucking cakewalk. At least this will be a decent challenge.” Symbol opened his hand and multiple Reality Stars appeared and floated in the air before one flew to each warrior present. “Everyone! Take one of the stars! They will double your strength and heal your wounds!” he yelled as he grabbed one, causing his power to rise. He lifted off the ground slightly and his hands burned with purple flames, his eyes glowing. “Let's get down to business.”
Alucard Armor appeared though the ground. “Hey it’s a zombie…” he said at the warmaster.
“Just let me burn that moonbutt for backstabbing us,” Blaze said as Dark Magician Girl and Scout appeared, followed by Dark Magician and Erza Scarlet a minute later.
Metal Sonic flew in through a broken window and grabbed a star. “So something worth fighting actually showed up...perfect!” His body turned gold as he went super.
Kirito then grabbed the reality star from in front of him before he shouted, “You know… I really wanted to get revenge for what happened to my brother… but right now I’d rather kill that bitch for being a traitor!”
“Agreed,” said Gascoigne as he walked in.
Now Mike has caught up with the others from his dazed state of mind. “Whoever saved my ass back there, thanks,” said Mike. He has now a fully loaded FAL rifle.
The duo also grabbed a star, feelling the power course through them
“All this, just for little old me?” Ahriman chuckled. “Guess it's a good thing I too am not alone.” Reality warped around him as he activated his Kamui. Khârn, Zhufor, Midnight, the remaining Piraka, Teridax, Rainborg, and a Krogoth formed out of it, the Krogoth breaking the rest of the ceiling.
Mike popped his neck in anger, checking the chamber of his rifle. He was just giving Ahriman the death stare.
“You don't get it, do you?” Sebaste said. “We’ve all been played by Keagan, both the UDE and the NBL.”
“Heh, but that's where you are wrong,” Ahriman chuckled, returning the Scythe for his sword.
“You see, Keagan and I planned to fake my death, to get us closer to Equestria. Sorry for having
to trick you, Teridax.”
“AS AM I, TERIDAX. I THOUGHT YOU KNEW. OTHERWISE, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU”
Mike, still giving Ahriman a death stare, spoke. “Fuck you, Ahriman.”
“I’ll be honest, this was all a big shock to me,” Teridax shrugged, glaring at the Warmaster. “The Sun is currently being eaten by my shadows...and yet Sebaste here still won’t give up. Stellar hero we have here.”
“I’m only fighting to protect my world. Like you’re not doing the same!” Sebaste snapped.
“Hey it’s the second displace Teridax,” Dark Magician Girl said as she place a zapper on
Rainborg’s back.
“Don’t call me second of anything,” Teridax stomped, annoyed by the label. “The other one really casts a shadow over my pride!”
“Anti-Zapper procedure initiated,” Rainborg stated, and three claws appeared on on her back, before removing the zapper.
“Yeah, a dead one from the War of Understanding,” Dark Magician said while Dark Magician Girl got more than one zapper out on Rainborg.
“Oh, and look at you,” the Makuta snorted, narrowing his eyes at the infuriating witch.
“You and your girlfriend flying about trying to act relevant! At least that Teridax did something significant. You’re just a blip on the radar. No one would miss you if you were gone.”
“And you are just a child trying to be a villain. At least Displaced like Ahriman or Dr Eggman did a better job at then you,” Dark Magician said with a calm looking face.
“And you’re trying to goad me into doing something stupid,” Teridax deadpanned, his red and tattered cape blowing in the wind.“You’re not worth my time. Leave now before you manage to die too.”
“If the metal boot fits,” Scout said adding his two cent in.
“Hm….Sebaste is the weaker link of the two. Might as well remove him as a distraction for good,” Ahriman observed, staring between Sebaste and Sebastian.
“Hey, I know I was gone but seriously we are losing?” Ultron said landing his new form was sleeker more futuristic and something purple was in his reactor. “Why am I the late one?”
“HEY ULTRON, ARE YOU USING THE CODE I GAVE YOU?”
“Let me guess was supposed to control me?” Ultron had a smile. “Sorry but after the whole scrap code I have decided to evolve beyond software.”
“OH. WELL IN THAT CASE, I GUESS I SHOULD GO TO PLAN B.”
“Wait… how is that even a thing?” Allen asked. “Also, what’s in your reactor?”
Ultron had a smile. “You touch it and you get destroyed. Ever watched that one?”
“The power gem?” Allen asked.
Sebastian noticed the look and summoned a Nemesis force halberd as a warning.
Mike was awaiting orders. But he wanted to kill Ahriman right then and there for all the the suffering he caused.
Kirito then sighed before he sheathed his swords and pulled out a sniper rifle before he said, “Hey Rainborg!”
“If you plan on using that on me, you're in for a surprise,” Rainborg glared, the last Zapper being removed.
“I guess it time to use A-sap,” Dark Magician Girl said as she got out a white zapper with a blue eye in the middle.
“Hello. Good to see you,” said the A-sap.
“No, not you,” Kirito admitted, before he took one shot that started ricochet around the room before hitting the back of Khârn’s head.
The bullet dinged off his helmet, doing no damage. “Sorry, runt, but it'll take something worse to kill me.”
“Hohoho! Mind if I join in Ahriman?” Dr Eggman asked as he entered the battle with his Mecha Sally.
“Of course, Eggman,” Ahriman replied.
“Very well then. Mecha Sally: deal with that Faker Metal Sonic,” Dr Eggman ordered as Mecha Sally flew at Metal Sonic with her arm blades.
Metal rolled his eyes and just grabbed Mecha Sally’s head and effortlessly crushed it. “I've dealt with a supercharged Solaris in my base form. What makes you think that a lowly robot can take
me in my super form?”
The throne room doors opened and Princess Celestia walked in.
“UDE, engage!” Sebaste roared as he summoned a Incineration cannon.
“ALL OF YOU STOP RIGHT NOW!” Teridax bellowed, pulling a hologram out and turning it on for everyone in the room to see. What was shown was Equus’s star quickly deteriorating. “THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHAT THIS PLANET NEEDS, SO STAND DOWN OR YOUR PRECIOUS SUN DIES!”
“AS I SAID BEFORE, DAEMON WORLDS DON’T NEED SUN,” Keagan roared.
Allen closed his eyes and kneeled on the ground. He looked defeated.
Sebastian growled in anger, force halberd at the ready. “Warp take you, Teridax!” he snarled.
“Now that I have everyone’s attention,” the Makuta seethed, gesturing once more to the projection of the dying light. “I know this may sound hard for all of you UDE troopers, but I have what you’re trying to protect hostage. So please, for the love of whatever you worship, leave now and muck about in your own universes!”
Sebaste glared at Teridax. “You think you can waltz in here and just order us around like we’re your men? One, you were the ones that attacked, two, we fight to defend this universe from threats that attack this world, and three, you may follow Ahriman, but you’ll never know what it’s like to fight alongside a true friend. The UDE has allies that have fought together and have made friendships that’ll last lifetimes!” he said. “Unlike you! You’ve only banded together because you’re all just dogs following their master’s call.”
“No everyone, don’t listen,” Allen said his aura flaring.
“NO!” yelled Mike. “I FUCKING CAN’T FAIL HIM. I CAN’T FAIL THE G-MANE!”
“I would listen to Teridax if I were you,” Miss Fortune said, appearing behind him.
“Fortune, what are you doing here!?!” the Makuta growled in annoyance as everyone did the exact opposite of what he demanded. “Do none of you even get what I’ve been trying to say! Are all of you insane, what are you going to do!?!”
“ENOUGH OF THIS! I’VE HAD IT WITH FAILING…” Allen said rising up.
“Oh Second Teridax. You got something on your back,” Dark Magician Girl said as she placed an A-sap zapper on Teridax’s back.
“I summon Dark Magician Girl, attack mode,” Midnight sighed, pulling out a card. A near perfect copy of DMG appeared in front of her for about half a second, before it was blasted to bits by Dark Magician.
“Sorry. No copies of my girlfriend are allowed when I’m around,” Dark Magician said as he opened a portal and Fluttershy step out. “Mind if you called Blue eyes for this fight?” he asked
Fluttershy as her eyes turn blue and a Blue Eyes White Dragon appeared.
“Then how about this?” Ahriman replied, pulling out a card of his own. “Dark Magician of Chaos, attack mode.” A blue human with tight black clothing and a long staff appeared. “And I also summon Five-Headed Dragon, attack mode.” A giant dragon with, predictably, five heads,
appeared. A number appeared next to it.
ATK 5000 DEF 5000
“I will boost Blue Eyes with the spell United we Stand. This spell will rise Blue Eyes’s attack for
every ally I have by 800. That means all the Displaced that are against you,” Dark Magician said
as Blue eyes White Dragon attacked the DM of Chaos and Five-Headed Dragon.
“I am not dealing with another duelist today…” Ahriman growled, ripping through the Blue Eyes
with his sword. “I have a war to win, and am not in the mood for card games.”
“You would say that since you are newbie to duel monster,” Dark Magician said as he sent his
Fluttershy back home.
Allen rose up and pulled out of the ground seldged. “Tell me what happens when Chaos absorbs
Chaos?”
“Orders, Sebaste?” called out Mike. He aimed at Ahriman, ready to fire.
“Everyone when my sister asks… tell her she was wrong.” Allen said, “Hey Keagan? You never
seen a daemon world get well?”
“YOU EVER FACE 7 DEAMON PRINCES AT ONCE?” Keagan roared
back as six more deamon princes landed behind him “MAY I REINTRODUCE YOU TO MY
WORLD’S SCOOTALOO, DIAMOND TIARA, RAINBOW DASH, TWILIGHT, SPITFIRE AND
ZECORA”
“SEBASTE, WHAT ARE MY ORDERS?!” yelled Mike.
“Sebaste, we’re both reasonable people here,” the Makuta said, trying to at least convince the Spartan on the hopeless situation. “We both know that everyone else around us, except for Ahriman of course, are complete lunatics. Are you about to doom your entire planet just so they can have a little action? If so, then clearly you are not who you profess to be.”
“I may be many things, but I’m not one to doom a planet. That's more your style. And if you’re still trying to pull that bargaining chip, think again. While I was separated from the others, I managed to take the Elements from the tree, so you’ve lost your edge,” Sebaste said, holding the gems up.
“What!?!” Teridax shouted, looking up at the still dying star. “Do you even understand how to use those properly? Now you’ve doomed this planet through your own ignorance! The sun still dies, your world still ends, this is---”
“Fear not, Teridax, for I decided to bring my own Elements,” Ahriman stated, the six elements appearing in his hand
“AND I MINE.”.
“Sebaste, what are my fucking orders?!” yelled Mike .
“Just keep any NBL forces off my back!” Sebaste snapped
“YES SIR!” Mike yelled back.
“Would you like some help?” Gascoigne asked appearing behind him.
“I doubt you can manage that, Mike,” Ahriman chuckled from behind them.
Mike Smith looked at Ahriman. “Prove it motherfucker!”
“Mike catch!” one of the guardsman threw a hot shot lass rifle to mike. But Mike was already firing his rifle at Ahriman. The 7.62’s pinging off of his armor.
“Men focus fire on Ahriman!” ordered the newly arrived commissar.
“It will take a lot more than that to punch through Protosteel combined with Adamantium, worm.”
Ahriman growled, his sword raising to bring Mike death.
Mike then tossed a grenade at Ahriman. It had no effect.
“Krak`s out,” yelled the commissar.
“Fool.” Ahriman sliced down, missing his body, instead removing his arm.
“Fuck!” gasped Mike, pulling out his M9 pistol. He fired five times, then collapsed.
“Burn, weakling. Amaterasu!” Ahriman's eye flared, and black fire erupted on Mike’s body, burning it away quickly before Ahriman put it out to keep it from spreading.
Mike’s skeleton just laid there.
“You fool! You have killed again, and I sentence you to death,” Gascoigne calmly stated before
penetrating Ahriman’s body with a stake driver.
“Nice attempt,” Ahriman chuckled, before his body turned into wood. Ahriman reappeared nearby. “But it will take more than that.” He lunged forward, driving his foot into Gascoigne’s stomach, sending him flying out the window.
Something near scary happened. Mike’s ashes began to float in the air, and was regenerating.
Mike landed on his feet. “It takes more than that to kill someone who already died!” laughed Mike.
“You’re more of an annoyance than I thought,” Ahriman growled, picking up Mike and drop kicking him out the window, breaking most of Mike’s bones. “Now, I'm going to go find a real challenge.”
Mike felt the pain, but still got up and ran back, combat knife in his hand. “Bitch, please.”
“To answer you that, no I haven’t. But for her… that’s tuesday,” Allen said pointing behind him. Reality opened up as a voice screamed.
“ALLEN!” Renna had finally come though. She looked at them all. “Don’t tell me… you got into a war didn’t you?”
“Yes,” he said, regretting the whole thing at her glare.
Kirito then cut straight through the missiles using his photon Sword before saying, “You know… I always found that Eggman was pathetic.”
“Well, unlike like my counterpart, I have taken over my world while making sure that no one could form a Freedom Fighter groups,” Dr Eggman said, annoyed.
“Sorry all I heard was kill me, kill me, kill me… could you repeat that,” mocked Kirito
“Do not mocked my creator!” Mecha Sally shouted as slashed Kirito in the back with her arm blades.
Kirito then sighed as he quickly dodge the blades before slicing one of her arms clean off with his photon sword, then quickly slicing the other with his chainsword. “Well. That was disarming.”
“Think again,” Mecha Sally said as energies matching the Element of Magic came out of her shoulders and put her arms back in place.
Kirito then sighed before he slowly applauded Mecha Sally then said “Great party trick… what's next your going to pull a rabbit out of a hat?”
“This.” Mecha Sally said as a laser cannon pop out of her head and fire at Kirito.
Kirito then quickly dodges out the way before charging towards Mecha Sally whist using the Photon Sword to absorb the beam from the laser.
“Scanning.” Mecha Sally said as she dodges Kirito.
Kirito the quickly switches his grip on his plasma sword as he knocks it upwards in an ark slicing through the laser cannon before spinning backwards and striking Mecha Sally’s legs with his chainsword slicing through them with ease.
Then that same energy came out and put Mecha Sally’s back together. “Scanning complete.” Mecha Sally said as her arm blades transform into plasma arm blades.
Kirito then reaches towards his sides before saying “I’m sorry for this.”
“Sorry for what meatbag?” Mecha Sally said while Dr Eggman fired a rocket at Kirito.
“This” he admitted as he threw a spherical object towards the ground before it exploded emitting a white pulse of energy around the area where the object landed.
“Wh- What wa-was th-that?” Mecha Sally asked still standing.
“A modified EMP grenade… as I said i’m sorry for what i’m about to do” Kirito admitted as his body changed shape into the form an almost normal man wearing a black jacket before drawing two swords from on his back as he began to to slice apart Mecha Sally's body before continuing to say “rest in peace”
“Damn you.” Dr Eggman said as he pick up Mecha Sally along with its power source the element of Magic.
Kirito then charged forwards before shouting “No more… you're never abusing her again!”
“Put that sword away. I had her designed while Orbot and Cubot built her while I was in stone.” Dr Eggman said annoyed.
“I’ll put my sword away if you promise to give her freedom… if not well, i’ll let her rest freely even if it means taking the element of Magic away.
.
“Not a chance she is the leader of my Team Metal. Beside she doesn’t have a soul so why do you care.” Dr Eggman asked annoyed.
“I care because she is still sentient so she rightfully has right to freedom and if she can’t fight for it i will fight for her… you say nobody is left to fight for them.”
“Thats right nobody. I had even robotized my Mane Six and the Princess’s.” Dr Eggman said with a evil grin.
Kirito’s eyes then sharpened before he shouted “I will fucking kill you, then I will go and find a way to free them!”As he reached over to Mecha Sally and grabbed the Element of Magic.
But he was tackled over by a Metal Sonic that came out of a gold ring. “Not a chance. I won’t let you stop me from fixing the flawed harmony my world had left unfixed.” Dr Eggman said as he give Metal Sonic Mecha Sally and Element of Magic and flew back into the ring.
Kirito then glared at Eggman before his form changed again as he instead gained pointed ears and wings before multiple symbols appeared round him as he whispered a few words and a smokescreen surrounded both him and Eggman.
“Hehehe. 123.” Dr Eggman said as a golden flash happen in the smokescreen. “Fire!” Dr Eggman shouted as rockets was fired to blow the smokescreen away to reveal E-123 Omega standing next to him.
Kirito the stopped and said “Oh Omega… I thought you hated Egghead over there?”
“That would be my counterpart that hates the creator.” Omega said as he starts firing at Kirito.
Kirito then quickly dodged out of the way of the bullets before attempting to strike Omega along his exposed hydraulics on his arms.
“Nice try meatbag.” Omega said as he fired some rockets.
Kirito then began to slice the oncoming rockets before getting in close and attempt to slash at his exposed weaponry along his exterior.
“Hammer time!” Said a Metal Amy Rose who smashed Kirito with her build in hammers.
Kirito then attempted to jump back before his form changed back to what it was originally as he said “well i’ve had enough” He then grabbed both swords before shouting “Su Grah Dun!”
“Then fuck off meatbag.” Metal Amy said as she tried to smash him again.
Kirito then quickly slash upwards separating her hammer from her before instantly slicing Metal Amy Rose across the centre of her body and charging towards Omega.
“Not so fast.” Metal Amy as energy that match the element of Honesty put her back together.
“dammit, this is just what I was warned about” mutters Kirito
“Surprise meatfucker!” Omega said as he punch Kirito in the face.
Kirito got launched towards the rubble that remained after Keagan dropped in before crashing into the ground next to the crushed Asuna. He then slowly reached towards where Asuna was lying before he pulled out a red healing crystal as it shattered before he saw a small bar beside her name increase and turn back to Omega before he said “you know what, I think it’s time to bring out the big guns” while sheathing his swords and grabbing his rifle of his back.
“Hahaha! You called that a big gun.” Dr Eggman said has he got his Eggbeater suit working again and aim a cannon at Kitito. “ This is a big gun.” He shouted.
Kirito then smiled before shouting “all I see is someone compensating for something!”
Another voice then shouts “here a gift! Ek skýt fjórir ískaldur ör!” With that group of four large Ice shaped Arrows Charged toward the cannon they smash into it causing it to malfunction.
“The same could be said for your rifle.” Dr Eggman said annoyed as Metal Amy smash Kirito again.
Kirito then grabbed her before saying “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me” before throwing her backwards before multiple shots rang out tearing Metal Amy apart before Asuna ran in and retrieved the element of honesty from the wreckage before causing it to disappear.
Kirito then smirked before he said “Oh where did the element go?”
“Right here.” Dr Eggman said showing he had the the element with Metal Sonic standing next to him.
“You are too slow.” Metal Sonic said.
Asuna then looks at him in shock before saying “what? I took it how did that thing get it… it should be in my inventory?”
“I grabbed it before you had the chance to do such thing meatbag.” Metal Sonic said coldly.
“Nice try but I outsmarted you.” Dr Eggman mocked.
“Yes you did” admitted Asuna “you have outplayed us in every way, there is nothing we can do to stop you.”
“Yes and seeing the leader of my team is gone. I do believe I should take my leave.” Dr Eggman said as a gold ring appear next to him.
“Well than I believe here’s a leaving gift” shouted Kirito and Asuna throws another one of the object Kirito used earlier as he opened fire once again destroying Omega and another volley destroying Metal Sonic while they couldn’t move.
Just then Mecha Sally flew from the ring pick up Omega and Metal Sonic and fly back in the ring as Dr Eggman followed as it disappeared.
Kirito and Asuna then looked at eachother before Asuna said “Well… that sucked… he leave anything so we can hunt him down later?”
“Nope… Nothing” Kirito muttered back. He then looked around to see that everyone was filtering away though portals before he said “Well looks like we're done… better get home, Celestia will need us soon.”
“I suppose you're right.” Asuna admitted before they looked towards Sebaste.
The Spartan walked up to them, his helmet off and his face grim. “We failed… but we gave them a bloody nose doing it.” He said, looking at the two. “But the cost…” He broke down. “We lost Applejack, Celestia, Rainbow Dash and now Sasha…, Not to mention many of our allies…” He then seemed to shake it off.
Asuna then sighed before she said “If you want I can bring some of them back for you.”
“No, I’ll see to it personally. I was their commander and I need to take responsibility for this.” Sebaste said, looking out over the now ruined Canterlot.
“Just do something for us… don’t blame yourself for what happened here today.” Kirito added calmly.
“I’ll try, but I don't think anyone will be forgetting this for a long time…” The Spartan replied. “But thank you both for aiding Sasha and I, our contract is now complete. Tell your Luna that Sasha and I say hello.”
“Oh we will,” chuckled a voice as a shadow appeared on Kirito’s shoulder.
“What in the world?!” Sebaste exclaimed.
“Sombra,” Kirito simply replied smiling.
“Wait, Sombra?” The Spartan chuckled. “Should've known you'd be shadowing these two after we met.”
“We got tasked with looking after him,” Asuna admitted.
“And I got him travelling with me… must be how Craig felt with Discord.” Kirito added.
“Well Church is probably gonna have a fit when he realizes that he missed the fighting.” Sebastian said
“Nah… he told us he wanted to remain neutral at all costs for this one,” Asuna admitted as a portal appeared under them.
“Well looks like our times up,” Chuckled Kirito.
“Good luck, and I hope that we see each other again!” Sebaste said, giving them a salute.
“Same here,” They both replied before falling through the portal as it closed behind them.
