(So his Dank Mode is on a time limit now... he could stay it in indefinitely the last time I saw him use it. He must be rusty... which means...)
(...This fight ain't lastin' long... the victor'll be determined by who gives out first. War 'a attrition.)
Heh.
Hmph.
(I forgot how annoyin' those stupid things were...)
The hell's wrong with ya, Cena? Don't have your old appetite?
(Did he forget I could just blow him backwards again?)
Electricity beats sound.
Hold up.
Well, at least everyones safe no-
...I’m just glad you’re ok Sharena, i really thought you were gone.
Come on, let's get outta here!
(I…what are thee)
...Magic seems to not work… Looks like a job for steel!
A moment of your time, please?
This, as I hope you're aware, is a "Rogue Star", specifically one of the Explode elemental alignment. It is an object of great power and unclear origin, quite possibly formed naturally at the creation of its home world despite its perfect symmetry. To put its strength into perspective, under normal circumstances it can multiply the strength of anything aligned with its element at distances measured in astronomical units. It always outputs this level of energy with no evidence of its supply being limited. And yet, somehow, you trapped all that inside these glass containers so well that I didn't even notice you kept my collection right here until I went looking for them!
That's impressive! Nice job! Though, this pressure-cooker style suppression has made it very volatile, just like the rest of them.
So, the way I see it here, you have a pretty favorable situation on your hands! If you decide to surrender and let us go in peace, you'll get to live to see the consequences of your actions… which is more than I can say for some of your little gang.
If not, well…
Well, you find out what I was getting at with this.
…
Can we leave? Get back to the chaos zone?
What about you and Vier? Will you two just be staying here?
Well, you two could join us at the order, It would probably be a nicer spot than just living…Here. ...You’d need to pack up all of your stuff though…,
Shush, look, it's been an incredibly long day for me, I have watched by sister die because of your dead boss, i have been put in a pickle jar and almost used as a battery because of your dead boss, If you feel guilty about being on the council, which, from what i can tell, you were actively trying to oppose, your already miles better than how narcian was when he joined us.
…I’ll get that checked out when we get out
I don’t think we ever properly got the chance to talk before now, Welcome to the order, Steve
Well! …Now what?
Well, let's finally get back somewhere safe, i think that’s the first thing
Any time.
To think this would be where I’d end up.
I knew this strange world would be full of surprises…but nothing quite like this. To think it all was to start with a sword thy had deemed fitting of my prowess, plucked from the shrines of fools that worshipped a god that cared not for them. Eventually, it went from being robbed of victory by that divine wind to encountering and being cornered by metal horses… but now…now nothing stands in my path. From being able to consume the tonic that they call Root Beer that would surely kill a man with the energy flowing through it to being able to take on that darkside commander…I think I really am becoming the warrior I always dreamed of being…no, was meant to be, gods’s will be damned.
Even now I’m sure that they cower on their gilded thrones, especially when I went toe to toe with the devil itself. …Sure he wasn't as scary as thou thought he’d be and sure he eventually came to help us after those other warriors jestered on him…But clearly it was because he knew exactly who he was dealing with. And behold the culmination of my strength, being able to handle and overcome the mighty Steve!
In fact, I didn’t even feel the wind that time. If it isn’t a sign thy know not what-
Hey, uh, can somebody give me a hand here?
Look i don’t want to send you into another laughing fit but have you been keeping something like that up your sleeves the entire time i’ve known you?
Ngh… hehehe…
Depends which part! Glassing their entire world? Sure, if I could get my hands on the Starforce earlier…
The thing before? Nah. Check this out.
I didn't plan to get killed. I was just ready for the possibility, and when I saw the opportunity it gave me I took it and bluffed with style. I had to drive home just how far they were from winning, so they'd get… discouraged from even TRYing, and never realize, that I, was actually, full of crap.
SpERGHking of, you know any good hospitals? I may look fine but it feels like I was run through a *conspicuously placed cough*ing blender and,,, reassembledwithsuperglue, *gasp* I can,,, BARELY, talk anymore– and that's noteven… considering you, Mad Cap'n Tedd--
yeah thats, that's honestly for the best I can feel it now it hurts so badly
Come on, let's go and get medical help before either of us die of blood loss.
Damn....
Ya molded energy into the shape of a barrier in order to protect yoself from my Mountain Dew. As expected from da Leader of the Cenation.... But... doing that musta took even more of your stamina, didn't you?
It's over, John. Over da course of this fight, I've inflicted ya with Cursed from my Aetherette, and Bleed, and Burn from my Doritos. Not only have ya strength, speed, and even your energy reserves been split in half... you've been takin' more and more spare damage as this fight has gone on.
I'd give you 15 more seconds until your body wears out and you can't handle the pressure of the form.
Snoop... you always were one of the craftier members of the illuminati. Even to this day, that hasn't changed. But neither has your weakness...
...you're still too cocky. If you wanted to win, you would have A: Brought more members with you ...Or B: Done it after training. I won't lose to someone so rusty.
You're right that it's over, Snoop. For you.
(Another form!?! And the status effects I put on 'im... they're gone!?)
This is Super Cena 4... if you had kept in shape, you'd probably have been able to match this as well.
How... how the hell, man! I know for a fact ya should have ran outta gas by now!
This form exhudes no physical strain. I can stay in it for as long as I like.
You KNEW Walter would've whupped your stoner ass if he was at full strength. Unfortunately, he's the least of your worries now. You have to deal with ME.
Next time, try Smoking Weed Every Day AND Night.
Ngh....
I didn't intend on revealing that form so early, but he left me no other choice.... more intel for Chris Rock's crew.
The Weed Residue on Walter should wear off shortly now that Snoop's been beaten. I gotta check back in with the others.
So, what's next for us? Just back to the order and do what we normally do?
Well, I've been told i need to "take time off" and "Please for the love of Askr Thea you need therapy" So im focusing on the former one and going sight seeing on this planet.
You're coming as well, I'm not going on break alone
...Hey, while were gone what do you think everyone else is going to be doing?
Well...
AH-HA! The ritual has worked! Now, I can finally get back to fighting that aquatic-
...Huh. I could've sworn that wizard told me I'd be where I was before... Did I do something wrong with the ritual?
...Huh. You look like you've been busy.
Oh, yeah. We've actually been doing some Hyperbolic Time training; A little something I've been working on as of recent. We've been trying to catch up to you, actually.
Neat. I was referring to the new 'fit, though.
Oh, this? Just something new I thought I'd try.
Anyway, you need something?
Actually, yeah... Do you happen to know anything about the Sei transformation?
Sei?
Hm... Can't say I know anything. But maybe the others know something...
Do you know where they are?
Well, after our training, we all decided to go to our own homes to rest for a while. I think Zeta might be the most likely to still be home; He's been having quite the trouble keeping Onkolithos in one place recently.
I'm still curious as to how that little guy managed to follow us into another timeline.*
But, wait, I thought everyone lived here?
Well, back when this thread started, Upsilon-
You know, before he locked us up like an
hole-
actually "retconned" in a house for everyone.
Here, give me a sec...
Here, this should have everyone's addresses on them. I already got it memorized, so you can go ahead and keep it.
Thanks, man.
Now, let's see here...
You might've gotten lucky so far, but you won't last much longer!
Take this, you bully!
You know you can't fight forever, honey bun-
Alright, that's enough!
Why, you...!
That was great! I didn't know you had a move like that!
Well, as terrible as Coda is, he did help us to pick up a few tricks...
Fight's not over yet, though. Come on!
that guy looks like he wouldn't look out of place in the order, and the mentions of a wizard, wonder what his deal is?
Well, there's only one way to know for sure..
Uh, hello! armoured person! Is everything alright? Warped to the wrong area?
Well, lets see, originally we had about, what? 700 ish heroes in the order, and now were down to....assumably 14?, At the very least we can modify our budget, but we'll also need to change the patrol rota, inform the neighbouring kingdoms of our current predicament, and so much more...
Lets just hope Embla isn't planning anything stupid for now, I don't think I have the mental capacity to put up with something like that-
I should probably check if anyone's tried to contact me, Knowing my luck I've missed some important stuff while I've been gone.
Huh, I wonder How everyone who left to head to askr is doing-
Alright, finally made it here. Now all I gotta do is show that Lyndis brat who the true beast i-!
Ah man... this what cheese... goes through...?
Never have I imagined unleashing more of my strength so early. But, what must be done, must be done I'm afraid.
...Seriously? I was fighting you this whole time?
I was just in the neighborhood because I wanted to see how Tedd was doing. I was wondering where all the heroes have gone off to when I saw you planning to cause trouble. And I thought,
"Hey, this guy looks like a problem! Maybe I should get rid of him in Tedd's stead."
I was even going to pull out my new cool-
shades. On YOU.
You look like one of those
y custom sprites where the limbs are gangly as hell. That atrocious color scheme doesn't do you any favors, either.
...What was your name? Lovers Dogma? And I thought going with Fehta would be considered wack; The hell kinda name is Lovers Dogma? Doesn't exactly sound so "demonic" to me.
And on that note, are we seriously that much of a tryhard that you'd call yourself a demon? Because believe me, it works better for that BETA DEVIL guy than it does you, and he's the literal definition of edge.
Not that it's doing you any favors; Maybe you wouldn't be getting stuck in the doorway if you removed those lame-
horns.
Why did you not just stick with the whole "Red Mage" shtick? It sounds better and more mysterious; AND it looked better, too. This? It's difficult to take anything you are seriously. Almost makes me wonder why I thought you were going to be an actual threat.
...Actually, why did I think you'd be a threat? Tedd's fought WAY worse villains than you'd ever wish you'd be. I'd bet you'd even be childsplay in comparison to whoever's in charge of that arrogant dicehead's* council.
...Actually, you know what? No. You're just not worth taking seriously.
Greetings, summoner! Nothing to report!
Yeah... Hey, see that guy over there? I'm gonna need your help in keeping that guy from coming in any further.
You can count on me! He won't even get a single step past!
Oh! And watch your step; There are traps all over the place.
Ah! Greetings, fine warriors!
"Warped to the wrong area?" Possibly... Do you, perhaps, know where I am to find the realm known as the Zone of Chaos?
Control.
Appearances can deceive others. I'd thought you'd've learnt that earlier. But that's not important right now. For right now, you must worry, about who or what you call from here on.
Okay, now I think is time bring in one of big guns!
Reppa! Ryugkei Sen!
Zone of chaos? well, I have heard from the summoner that this world is called "the chaos zone" so I assume you're in the right realm at least, Are you looking for an area in particular? i heard you mention something aquatic? maybe me and soleil could help you out?
