Edit: It's the Month of Monsters, let's start it off right.

-Equus, Equestria, Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack-

How ready were we for this whole Tambelon thing to happen?

Twilight was ready, she was almost used to running a whole country by now, so mentally at the very least.

I think Pinkie was ready, she has that whole dimensional jumping thing if we need an out from Tambelon. Still don’t honestly know how she does it and as many ponies in Ponyville have learned a long time ago, don’t think too hard about it.

Who knows what Rarity is going to do in Tambelon, but she did have some abilities that could be useful. I’d have to make sure to watch her back in the inevitable fighting that's going to occur.

Fluttershy was never going to be ready, but at least she was thinking ahead with acquiring medical kits. Bless her heart that she’s still willing to follow us into this mess, she's the best friend anyone can ask for.

Rainbow was just exercising a lot more and making pretty rainbows in the sky. Lazy as ever and is a somewhat cute idiot on top of that.

Me, I was basically getting myself worked up over the future and I was as ready as I was going to be by working out in my spare time. I wasn’t much of a fighter, but I knew how to hit hard and could hope it was enough. Didn’t want my nephews and nieces to grow up without an aunt and I intended to see the children Sugar Belle has with Big Mac, needed to live to see that bright future.

Honesty was the not the same as the truth, I could be honest and still tell a lie, because I couldn’t know absolutely everything about something. Honesty was telling the truth as you knew it and some people could be quite delusional in doing that, even if someone were being completely honest they could just as easily be lying out their flanks because they wanted to honestly believe in the lie they tell themselves far more than the actual truth staring them in the face.

My friends were going to need me.

“Hey Applejack!” Looking at the voice, the younger Arizona approached, she and the other Fœnum girls were quite busy with working on breaching Grogar’s world. Never saw the guards shape up so much before and Puk’s were no longer a problem for Ponyville these days. “I was wondering something and I heard you were a good listener…”

Oh here we go again.

“Okay, you have my ears and I’m not busy or nothing sugar cube.” I had to wonder why the young wiry cow looked nervous.

“You’re the most honest mare around and this might sound awkward, but do you think my udders will be as tiny as the other Arizona’s when I grow up?” Fœnum Arizona asked while looking quite fearful about it.

Why do I always keep getting these personal questions I can’t possibly have the answers to?

It was bad enough when Fœnum Velvet asked about Equus Velvet’s icicle farting thing possibly being a problem for her. Fluttershy has that issue with actually liking the taste of fish and having a slight carnivorous side, probably exacerbated from the whole transforming into a ‘magical vampire fruit bat pony’ incident. Rainbow Dash still has her confidence issues with actually asking me out and the fact that she came to talk me about it still boggles my mind, considering she was casually trying to pretend that I was someone else while doing so wouldn’t make it any less weird. Rarity was always, aggravatingly enough, asking me for an honest opinion she doesn’t actually want to hear… given I still honestly didn’t care much for fashion. Goodness knows where that griffon Gabby’s inadequacy issues come from when she’s good at a lot of things by putting one hundred percent of herself into learning to do said things. Spike sometimes didn’t feel like a little brother and more like a familiar or a servant to Twilight sometimes despite that role being filled by Owlowiscious.

Spike has had mostly free room and board for all of his life along with the most expensive food as part as his diet being paid for by the crown to this very day and I certainly wouldn’t be complaining too much about that if I were him.

In all, I was the go-to premier mare for everybody else’s awkward issues to talk about and it was really quite annoying. Still, I was begrudgingly the sturdiest and most dependable friend around when it came to talking about things and forming a gentle opinion about things.

“Hon, you might want to seek out a doctor about that, I’m not a professional on the subject and I’m not sure what an opinion from me would actually do for you in this situation.” I was kind of tired of being let in on everyone’s secrets, also I think you kind of needed a microscope to tell if the local Equus Arizona was even a cow at all sometimes. There's more bull in her than an entire herds worth of them.

-Pokémon World, Ransei Region, Illusio, Bridge to the Castle of Illusion, Pom-

Okay, two new beings.

One big green bird that was also called Enkidu. Looked cuddly with those feathers and deadly with those talons, its feet looked like it could eviscerate me in a few kicks.

The other was a big overly muscled monster that looked like a ridiculously oversized mosquito with a habit of flexing judging by the involuntary motions he was doing for us, that he called himself Gilgamesh had me worried.

He had large insect wings, two arms that ended in five fingered hands one of which held a naginata, a large steel looking proboscis and four spiny legs. By comparison its tiny head where the metal needle like nose extended from was ridiculous and almost disc like with what I was assuming to be two eyes with antenna.

I looked to the others and carefully approached him.

“Um, excuse me… uh… Mr. Gilgamesh?” I tentatively stated while the smaller Gold Gilgamesh was still extricating himself from the wall this muscle bound terror put him into. The large bug turned towards me and flexed. “Um… can we help you fight that guy… we’ll let you keep his sword if we win?”

“If we win, hah, you have the greatest warrior to ever plunder the depths of multiple realities, Gilgamesh, on yours side… there is nothing to fear while I’m here!” With a wild flourish of his naginata he planted it across his back behind his rounded dome or disc head while holding out his left hand in a pose I suppose he thought was cool. “I will be taking that weapon, say Greenkidu, I know you’re still mildly upset, but it’s been months! Could you maybe do your thing for them please? I really want that weapon and getting help with this kind of thing generally doesn’t happen often for me!”

“Okay, then you might want to turn around a block that incoming attack.” Hearing me call out the smaller Golden Gilgamesh incoming, Gil turned around and blocked the incoming weapon with the blade of his naginata angled in a precise manner to catch the tip of the other weapon.

The green bird groaned while rolling their eyes, shook their head disparagingly at the buff bug Gilgamesh, but then started flapping their wings slightly, crooning with their beak and stomping in place with their talons in a kind of dance.

“Cue!” The green bird let out and I could suddenly feel a rush of magic build up from Enki, then a shower of green sparkles spilled over all of my friends and me, it felt… rather nice.

While this was happening Gilgamesh and Gilgamesh were fighting head on and clashing sending shockwaves from their impacts.

One with a naginata that held similar feeling to Kenshin’s reverse blade that was wielding it like it was an old friend. The other wielding what still looked like an ordinary rapier… if I didn’t know something was off from the way Shanty described it as being more akin to a drill, then I would think it was.

The green sparkles made some of my friends gasp and I turned to see Dazzle removing the wrapping from her injured claw and the nasty injurie to her claw and wrist was healed.

I looked at my rust colored bandages along my right leg and saw that the green sparkles hadn’t seeped into it, at least I knew why. Healing magic wasn’t going to help my right leg very much in this case… but it did feel good for the rest of my body.

“Thank you very much… um… Inky Due… it’s a bit odd, what with their being two Gilgamesh’s and Inky Due’s here.” I bowed to the green bird for healing the worst of my friend injuries and exhaustion, not that it helped Frizzle resting inside of Dazzle’s digivice.

“Kweh-ehhh.” The bird stated and turned to jab their beak at the two Gilgamesh’s.

“Right, this might be a good chance to turn things around.” Quetal stated as he looked to have fully recovered from using so many Substitutes and started forward, Kenshin nodded and was followed by me, Dazzle and Shanty while Dodo and Lit hung back and would pick us up if we were in serious trouble.

“We will not be being able to defeat Gilgamesh, without the help of the other Gilgamesh.” Shanty mumbled with a whimper as I stopped to look at her, even I knew that we were about to lose before another Gilgamesh and Inky Due showed up.

“Ready to really get this started then? Well join me in battle, just watch out for yourselves! Never had friends in a fight before on my side of things aside from Greenkidu.” Red Gil the bug stated, he twirled his naginata around and then posed while facing the Gold-gamesh. “Watch out, because you’re about to face the ever wondrous Gilgamesh, so here I come~!”

-Red ‘Buzzwole’ Gilgamesh (Big bombastic bridge and arena fighter), with mild back up from Enkidu and the Pom friendship crew Vs Golden Hoopa Gilgamesh (Overly Powerful Jerkass that has been recently heavily nerfed by the appearance of the Ultra Wormhole)-

“Ever heard of the grandest greatest of the legends, it’s my bets here that I’m hedging, that you’ve never heard of someone of my like~.” As he sang Red Gil expertly deflected the sword of rupture with a stupid looking flamboyant flourish much to Gold-gamesh’s consternation as he attacked rapidly. “So welcome me to the greatest fight, where I can truly bust out all of my might, since I guess you’ve never heard of me~!”

“We’ll see who the best Gilgamesh will be~!” Gold-gamesh was actually showing his true strength as he clashed, after several heated deflections by the naginata held by his opponent he fell back Holding the Sword of Rupture high up in the air he slung it forward and a powerful pillar of energy swept forward damaging the bridge as it move.

Red Gil quickly pulled out a sword with his left hand and held it forward defensively, the huge rupture wave made a ‘tink’ sound as it hit the sword and all the power within said wave instantly vanished as if it had expended all of its power trying to break the sword and barely did any damage at all.

“I don’t think you’ve quite ever met someone like me before, and- is this really all of your might~?! Come on give me a good fight, show what me what the name Gilgamesh means to you alright~!” Red Gil stated haughtily as clashed three times with Gold-gamesh and he stopped a second rupture wave with the same sword he pulled out earlier, another ‘tink’ sound and it boggled Gold-gamesh that his most powerful attack can be stopped by a simple looking sword that had some visible similarities to the Excalibur even if it was a damningly odd looking fake.

There was something very off about the sword Red Gil used defensively and it didn’t scream demonic or heavenly power to Gold-gamesh’s senses. In fact, to Gold-gamesh, it just looked like a normal sword that could be trying to be Excalibur… if the sudden effects of its existence weren’t so abnormal he would swear it actually was.

Red-Gil was then across the bridge as if he were flying and with several strikes he pushed back the Gold-gamesh with each thunderous blow. Gold-gamesh created two portals to fire a powerful burst of weapons, all of which were deflected upwards by the seemingly crappy looking sword and caught by the Red Gil to be stuffed away into what had to be his Gates of Babylon.

“Heh, quite a collection you have there, can I have some you bore~? How about I trade you an excalipoor, because I always have more~!” Red Gil stated cheekily, turning his back and tossing the sword over his left shoulder at Gold-gamesh.

Gold-gamesh actually took the weapon coming at him seriously and blocking it he was sent flying back as if he was hit with the force of a truck, putting him at the last fourth of the bridge looking at Inky Due behind him. He nodded to her and then turned back to surge forward at Red-Gil.

“Can we not seriously sing this to a tune, especially not while we’re fighting this goon~?” Pom said as she unleashed a pair of Thousand Spears from her legs that slammed into Gold-gamesh while his guard was down. “He’s a terror that’s trying to destroy this continent like a river to ford~. Watch out for that stupidly powerful sword~! We were in the process of being routed and-…~”

“Now come on you sweet little thing, don’t you worry about that, when I’m the one that has all of your backs~!”Red-Gil absorbed an attack meant for Pom and deflected a knife before it could stab into her neck. “Come on my best friend Greenkidu, why don’t you throw us a barrier or two, let’s show this Gilgamesh that there’s no one quite like you~!

“WARK!” The large green bird cast a spell and everyone that wasn’t on Gold-Gamesh’s side suddenly had a protective green barrier around them that deflected weapons from the few limited portals Gold-Gamesh could make a few times.

Kenshin charged forward and lashed out several clash and before Gold-gamesh could counter he was struck back by the naginata Red-Gil swung to block a blow.

“Never been on the right side of history when it comes to this sort of thing before!” As Red-Gil aided Kenshin in pressuring Gold-Gamesh in a series of barely coordinated strikes.

“Yes, this is the kind of pressure I want from heroes like you!” Gold-gamesh grinned brightly as he dodged am exploding Bark Buster from Pom coming at him from the left, he tried to get under Kenshin’s guard to stab him only to have his weapon pulled to the side by two flaming whip as Dazzle used Gold-gamesh’s grip on his weapon to pull herself into the air.

“Do you still think you have- the advantage here~!” Dazzle sang out a Round and Gold-gamesh sent a quick shockwave at her to block the attack and sent Dazzle flying backwards with a second jab.

Gold-gamesh had to dodge by twisting back and out of the way as Red-Gil slammed his Naginata where Gold-Gamesh had been and deflected Kenshin’s blade downward into the bridge.

Quetal slid in under Gold-gamesh’s body and slashed him across the chest and was swiftly bisected for the damage, only to show that it had been a Substitute as the body went up in an explosive puff of smoke and leaving behind a torn green smiling doll.

Gold-Gamesh had to quickly get his guard against Red-Gil who obviously didn’t know a single Pokémon move, but his new form more than made up for that fact as the Naginata slammed into the guard and what passed for Gold-Gamesh’s butt almost burrowed into the bridgework.

Taking one hand off the guard he quickly launched a weapon and Greenkidu, the bird dodge the weapon swiftly and Gold-Gamesh narrowed his eyes at the other Inky Due.

At this point Gold-Gamesh realized he was fighting what could truly be a distaff counterpart of him if his legend were told by complete nimrods and it was bizarrely strong counterpart no less, strong enough to match his might even as a Legendary Pokémon… both the other green bird Enkidu and red bulky bug Gilgamesh seemed to lack an ounce of divinity for Inky Due to wield against them and they both had a measurable strength at the equivalent of two demi-gods.

Gold-Gamesh wasn’t even sure the other Gilgamesh had an idea how to use his new body to its fullest, but they were still capable in spite of this fact.

Still, Gold-gamesh hadn’t been hit by the green birds kick, but he wasn’t about test it given how powerful Red-Gil was. He could already feel these two were huge problems, when the battle had been almost entirely in his favor from the start, now it was going the other way massively and Gold-Gamesh could barely keep up with the attacks given long range attacks were now viable against him given he was limited to two to four portals at maximum. Even Ea the Sword of Rupture was not capable of winning this battle by itself, it made Gold-Gamesh feel alive and one can see the similarity between him and Red-Gil in this battle frenzy.

Even if it was basically an entire group on one fight, it was only more even now than actually fully in favor of the heroes, Gold-Gamesh was still fending them off with a single weapon and a few well timed portals to occasional launch weapons at the ones who couldn’t defend against it very well.

Pom, Quetal, Dazzle and Shanty were getting the focus of Gold-Gamesh’s highly limited number of weapon launching portals to make sure they couldn’t assist Kenshin, Greenkidu or Red-Gil in pressuring him down, those three definitively required Gold-gamesh’s personal touch more than the others.

Deflecting a blow from Red-Gil, Gold-Gamesh got into a sword lock with Kenshin and then lashed out with his left fist to hit an indistinct blurr to reveal it was Pom moving at full Dancing Flame speed. The blow to her left cheek bodily flipped the ewe and took her entirely by surprise that Gold-Gamesh could even react to her in such a time frame.

Pom chose to land on her side instead of her back and went skidding away along the bridge on her left side with the frictionless wool and Dolly’s Skateboard acting as a slow broke.

Following Pom’s attack Gold-Gamesh caught the overhead cane scythe strike by Shanty, stopping it by the tip of its blade with his left hand, it bled slightly due to the cutting force that came off of it.

Opening his mouth, Gold-Gamesh fired a powerful Psychic blast into Shanty’s face sending her flying away as he let go of the scythe’s blade. With two portals he punched the green bird as it started to charge for him for a devastating kick and dazed it. Afterward, instead of bringing his fist back, it reentered the portal and exited a third one beneath Dazzle’s belly, launching her upwards as she was going for a leap at him and it followed her up to slap her down and finally returned to Gilgamesh’s side in time to catch the reverse blade sword, which thankfully was blunt.

Out of all this going on, one would think Red-Gil would have at least questioned his new hyper muscular centaur mosquito body much less what was going on. Instead Red-Gil was mostly just focused on getting Ea Sword of Rupture from Gold-Gamesh out of this battle for helping these people, aside from Kenshin’s weird blade there wasn’t much else of interest to him here. It wasn’t slowing him down one bit.

Kenshin used his psychic energy to block the psychic attack from Gold-Gamesh, this gave hime some breathing room to start rapidly jabbing his weapon forward to launch series of ripples through the air like Pom doing a Thousand Spears. Gold-Gamesh’s attack required Red-Gil and Kenshin to actually start backing away defensively and deflect the air ruptures with their weapons, again Red-Gil used the sword to do this and every time it got hit it would make a rather annoying and noticeable ‘tink’ sound.

After seeing most of the attack blocked Gold-Gamesh went to start jabbing again and would actually combo into something, only to be stopped when a bunch of energy stars suddenly exploded against his left eye. He hadn’t seen them coming and despite minimal damage they dealt they still hurt when they hit a large viable weak point.

Quetal had sent his Swift attack wide to barely enter Gold-Gamesh’s periphery vision before hitting him and didn’t give him time to react. Of course Swift’s power was meager compared to some of the things Pokémon could do, but it was an attack that wouldn’t miss if it could reach its target and made for a good distraction.

Gold-Gamesh sent a ripple of rupture at Quetal who immediately evaded from the right bridge railing to Gold-Gamesh’s left towards the center of the bridge behind Kenshin.

Unfortunately for Gold-Gamesh, since his left eye was shut by Quetal, he had a huge blind spot and didn’t manage to block the sound of a spear whistling right at him and didn’t have time to deflect or redirect it either as it tore into the oozing wound on his cheek and widened it into a constantly bleeding wound.

Pom a bit further back stomped her right hoof on the tip of another spear flipping it into the air and, upon catching it, immediately spun clockwise to chuck it with her left leg and a boost from her wool springing the spear forward as she threw it.

The second spear Pom launched his way was disintegrated by Gold-Gamesh with a simple jab and he was about to take the fight to them as they had been pushing him too close to the castle, he couldn’t let them damage the Castle of Illusion any further or else the energy would explode and quite frankly he wanted Inky Due to live until she could get the promised Healing Wish off.

Given how many weapons were just lying around on the bridge, a number of them were spears that could be thrown and Pom had plenty of ammunition and determination to really hurt the quickly slowing Gold-Gamesh.

“Come on, are you the people who thinks I’m going to be brought down so…” A hypersonic carbonized bread loaf crunched what used to be Gold-Gamesh’s grinning face inward in a fountain of blood from his ruptured skin and badly cracked skull as he slammed into the bridge on his back. He quickly sat up and screamed in aggravation. “AGGHHH!”

“Don’t let up!” Pom shouted and Red-Gil lunged with a thrust of his naginata.

“No problem!” Red-Gil answered, while things may have seemed lopsided, Gold-Gamesh was more than strong enough for all of them and it feels like how Red-Gil saw himself, someone who required multiple good opponents to really feel a fight.

Gold-Gamesh floated up back up and deflected the larger Red-Gil’s thrust and subsequent swing upwards, then deflected Kenshin’s attempt to hit him with a Doryusen shockwave that he forced to the side before slashing away the flaming whips from Dazzle as he was buffeted by the blast.

At this point Red-Gil was proving to be an opponent Gold-Gamesh had underestimated because of his oddly goofy countenance and exuberance, because in the next few seconds he was hit by multiple sweeping strikes at high speed and then felt that sword he tended to use to block attacks jab into his right hand.

The weapon didn’t make a ‘tink’ sound, but it did feel like he was being given an annoying amount of paper cuts with how fast the weapon was being swung. No, the weapon was causing less than paper cuts, how did that work with something that looked like it had a sharp blade? In any case it was adding on to the naginata assault that Gold-Gamesh was suffering quite poorly as cuts opened up all over his body.

Gold-Gamesh managed some defense in the middle of Red-Gil’s assault that was joined by Kenshin every now and then, he also managed to deflect three thrown spears and knocked Shanty back several times.

What most of the opponents of the golden colored Hoopa didn’t know was that he was about to become unbound and he was still fighting and defending fairly well, they wouldn’t have time to destroy the castle nor would they have time to kill him before Inky Due was ready.

Thus Gold-Gamesh started to smile, not grin, but actually smile as he was calculating how much time he had to hold out for while he was suffering numerous terrible injuries to his torso, head and hands, which basically all he was. Without the full use of the Gates of Babylon he was faltering pretty badly, mostly because Gold-Gamesh had become complacent and this battle was waking him up by quite a bit.

Gold-Gamesh was deflecting the reverse blade, a naginata, fire whips, spears thrown at a decent speed, a lightning blast that almost came out of nowhere, another hypersonic highly carbonized bread loaf, a scythe wielded by a goat who was apparently able to view the truths the ‘Sword of Rupture’ imparted, a large green birds deadly talons that have slashed through beasts far bigger than him and he managed to hold them all at a stalemate.

Gold-Gamesh was showing just how much of a glorious king among heroes he was in a few minutes of fighting as he actually managed to push the multiple talented opponents back slightly.

“Don’t let him gain any momentum!” Pom was the one to pick up on it first that the more injured Gold-Gamesh became the more he was taking the fight seriously and his skill in dealing with them was becoming exponentially better. Pom had seen it before, Gold-Gamesh was learning all of their battle habits and abilities as he fought, he actually started to look alive under the pressure as rupture waves flew from his blade and he even started injuring Red-Gil some as the bulky centaur mosquito was his most daunting opponent.

Swift stars blasted from from Quetal or a substitute that came in close to slam Aerial Ace enhanced claws into him, nothing to the Hoopa Gold-Gamesh as he destroyed each substitute.

Dazzle’s flaming whips expertly lashed out with precision and speed, quickly ruptured under the increasing force of will that was an injured creature that knew he was about to lose his best friend who lost the ability to fight to a little yellow fuzzy bug.

Pom throwing spears from the bridge, she couldn’t throw nearly enough to hit Gold-Gameshj again now that he was paying attention to everything and was utilizing the four portals he could make to fire weapons with extreme precision.

The cutting force of Shanty the sea goat, it was a foot note that such a power was terrible to face in Gold-Gamesh’s mind, but he was still able to block the cutting arcs with ‘Ea Sword of Rupture’ while sending the goat flying away even if he wasn’t doing much injury to her.

The other Enkidu, the green bird, far more dangerous than their appearance would suggest and Gold-Gamesh could actually acknowledge that they were another version of his Enkidu as much as he acknowledge the big red dope that was Red-Gil as another version of him… probably the dumbest version of him to ever exist!

Kenshin was strong and healthy, he just didn’t have the heart for battle or violence despite how powerful his techniques and his ability to use Godspeed moves. Gold-Gamesh wouldn’t be surprised to see Kenshin among the throne of heroes if something hadn’t gone horribly wrong and was the reason he even ended up in this world.

“Now this…” Red-Gil stated as he continued to enjoy the fight with all of his might. The guy looked like more muscles than brains, but that was further from the truth as Red-Gil had proven several times that he knew how to wield every weapon he pulled from what had to be his Gates of Babylon.

“Is a fight!” Gold-Gamesh finished for him as their clashes created eruptions that shook the whole bridge they fought upon. Even if he didn’t think much of Red-Gil, Gold-Gamesh still acknowledged him a viable threat and a capable warrior which was more than he could say about the pitiful heroes still trying to put up a fight and were actually succeeding.

It was almost time and Gold-Gamesh was really enjoying himself despite his golden body being covered in red from his own blood and that of his enemies that got too close to him. Once he becomes unbound, how many heights would they really go to just stop him then? He had a feral smile that nobody could mistake for a grin.

“This feels familiar somehow, one guy holding off an entire group by himself on a bridge…” Red-Gil commented idly, having been on the wrong side of this situation so many times that it didn’t occur to him that he was actually doing it to another Gilgamesh. “Say are we falling out of the sky?”

“It’s time…” Everyone except Gold-Gamesh froze when they heard Inky Due’s quiet voice cut through the thrum of the battlefield like a hot knife. Gold-Gamesh blinked and his right hand was suddenly missing the Sword of Rupture and he glared at Red-Gil, at least a Gilgamesh was wielding the sword… even if it was the worst most up his own backside Gilgamesh to ever exist. Sure he knew he was projecting, but he was quite sure the Red-Gil actually deserved the denigration somehow. “Make you’re mark upon this world my truest friend, show them exactly why you are Gilgamesh of legend…”

“Kill him before…!” Pom shouted trying to urge everyone to get a killing blow, but it was far too late.

As battered and injured as Gold-Gamesh was he closed his eyes as he held off an onslaught of attacks with ease and a weakened badly battered, broken and bloodied form.

“Goodbye Gilgamesh, may we meet again eventually… Healing… Wish…” Inky Due smiled as her body started disappearing as it turned into energy and said energy surged for Gold-Gamesh. The sudden energy blast sent everyone skidding across the bridge to the halfway point from just the raw fury of the energy now encompassing Gold-Gamesh.

When the energy died down, every bit of damage, weakness and or injury disappeared, every imperfection gone including the soul damage Pom had mysteriously dealt to his cheek. Now Gold-Gamesh was full of energy and fully restored to being even better than before the fight even started.

It was a fact that Gold-Gamesh was glowing brilliantly with energy he was absorbing and he immediately teleported to the center of the Castle of Illusion.

It was noon and the sun was high in the sky as Gold-Gamesh started drawing massive amounts of energy from within the castle.

They hadn’t managed to stop it, the unbinding had begun!

The massive amount of energy couldn’t be broken through to reach Gilgamesh as the Castle of Illusion and the massive bridge connected to it all started falling from the sky faster and faster.

Anyone left on top of Cerebum saw the massive bridge and the Castle falling towards it and many Pokémon went into a panic.

“You’re about to see what a god really looks like!” Gold-Gamesh could be heard for at least a mile around the falling structure and didn’t even care that Red-Gill barely managed to make him relinquish ‘Ea the Sword of Rupture’ before he teleported.

At least when the sword was put away Shanty’s headaches stopped and she immediately forgot all the stuff the sword shoved into her head, except for one thing, that she could learn how to breath underwater for some reason was that one thing stuck out to her and it stuck with her.

The castle of Illusion was slowly breaking apart under the massive amount of energy coming from it and filtering into Gold-Gamesh as he started to break the bindings on his Hoopa form. Nobody could survive the energy the castle was putting off as he broke each chain on his form, one by one.

Gold-Gamesh was excitedly reliving the feeling of having done this all before, he had never been fully beaten in his reign in his previous life.

-Origin Space, Bahamut-

“Aren’t you going to do something about this?” The power coming off of Golden Gilgamesh would be somewhat terrifying to those who hadn’t witnessed worse.

“Don’t need to.” Stated Arceus simply and just kept watching his several ovens of baking cheese muffins with an eager looking Mew also waiting for them to come out.

“Hmm…” My sister Tiamat, glanced at Arceus with curiosity. “Do you want me to make some noodle soup to go with those cheese muffins?”

“Sure!” Arceus stated jovially as if the kingdom of Illusio centered on the middle of his continental back, wasn’t about to be completely broken.

-Bridge to the Castle of Illusion, Pom-

The castle collapsed and rising out of it was a monstrous, two legged armored torso with six floating hands and a large black hole in the center of its body.

“Pom, are we being dead?” Shanty asked as we watched the monstrous form rise out of the destruction of the castle drawing energy into itself.

This feeling, haven’t felt it this bad in a while… this feeling of pure terror.

Then the bridge and the castle slammed into the top of Cerebrum City doing massive damage to the surface of the floating city and kicked up a lot of dust.

I managed to stay awake and upright through the destruction and the mad laughter of the giant purple and bluish grey monstrosity that resembled a giant monstrous genie that now had feet, a tail and a bigger grinning mouth with thick hair coming from the top of its head as he rose out of the destroyed castle ruins.

It’s six floating three clawed hand flexed and the monsters red eyes looked down on us with disgust.

“To answer your question Shanty, yes… very much so.” I answered honestly. Sure we could fight, but that thing… that thing was a real monster in comparison to the small ice sprite sized being the Golden Gilgamesh had been before.

“He’s glorious…” Red-Gil stated while his right big meaty fist tightened its grip on the naginata and his left tightened on the stolen sword. “Now that’s a Gilgamesh!”

I just sent the Red-Gil a flat look and sighed, before looking at the massive monstrosity we had to fight now.

I sighed again, whimpered loudly, swallowed some spit just as loudly and let my terror as a tiny weak little ewe lambkin that lacked super strength course through me and then decided, that yes… I was going to have to fight this thing and no, I didn't believe Shock-Ram would help or make this situation survivable.

Knowing that I had declared Baa-Ram-Ewe on Gilgamesh, I had to actually see it through, sure he’s a giant now and his powers have probably scaled to be able to destroy all of Cerebrum City as easily as breathing.

Sure we were struggling to do anything to Gold-Gamesh previously, but we might just survive long enough to actually see the city hit the waters far below. That would be a miracle at this rate.

“Dazzle.” I said while looking at her wide eyed and still form, everyone else was still equally terrified by the energy given off by the Golden Gilgamesh. If I was going to die, then I might as well do my worst and being a Chrysomallus didn’t seem so bad all of the sudden.

“MUHAHAHAHA, I... am... unbound!” The literal massive jerk stated as he stood tall above us all.

It was quite unfortunate that I can’t do a true transform twice in one day.

“Huh, why can’t I portal out of here, uh Greenkidu can you do the void portal thing… it seems something is wrong with me.” Also our help, the swollen mass of muscles that was Red Gilgamesh, now that he had the others sword, wanted to leave us to fight that thing… joy.

“Wark!” Greenkidu responded angrily that Gilgamesh was going to run from this battle immediately, at least the bird seemed more likely to stick by our side in the coming fight and… oh gods and goddesses alike, he was a healer and this was going to be incredibly painful fight before we died if he could keep us standing.

“Can you blame me when there’s a Gilgamesh that’s going full anime kaiju around here?!” The other Gilgamesh stated while pointing his naginata at the giant.

“Wark!” Greenkidu stated again with a flat stare.

“Fine, fine, we’ll see this until the end… but we better appear in another world after this guy rips us a new one.” What a vote of confidence Red-Gil was.

"Yeah, that's the spirit!" Sanosuke stated as he showed up to help Kenshin stand with Kaoru. "We've got this!"

Wish I had the optimism to say the same thing you highly delusion idiot.

"Say good-bye to life Mongrels!" Yeah, that red eyed titan with the distorted voice didn't cause me to want to void my bowels at all immediately and messily all over the place.

It would be nice to talk about an inflated ego given teh change in size and missing mass, but this guy has seriously shown some rediculous high stats and the useability to back them.

Im wondering just what that Caterpie is going to be doing, given theres no sign whatsoever of a Level 1 Ratata.

The guy looked like more muscles than brains, but that was further from the truth as Red-Gil had proven several times that he knew how to wield every weapon he pulled from what had to be his Gates of Babylon.

He also has a pretty wide repertoire of spells across all his appearances.

oh gods and goddesses alike, he was a healer and this was going to be incredibly painful fight before we died if he could keep us standing.

Final Fantasy has resurrection spells, so you are all going to die repeatedly.

Its role in the story is already concluded; it caused his defeat because he was watching it instead of what he should have been watching.

Sure he has the strength to back it up but he still has an ego the size of a planet.
