OoC This is going to be a very strongly plot driven story, and this first post is going to be really really really really really long. It might just be a test of reading it and seeing if you have the strength to want and join.


Once... not that long ago to those confined by time there was a hero. At least, he tried to be a hero. A vile demon had taken its time to cause pain and suffering to small villages nearby. No one ever died, but there lives were just pure suffering and pain. One day, someone decided to do something about it... This is his story...

Nino: "You'll be careful right Star, and you'll be back, right!?"

Star turned back to Nino, he had already spent 15 minutes answering this question, but he didn't mind. His entire village wanted him to be safe and he planned to come back alive. Not for them, but for Nino.

Star: "Yeah, I told you, I'll be home. You don't have to worry about me!"

And so, it began, the first day, of one souls enternal nightmare...


Time Elemental: "You know you cannot win."

The Time Elemental's voice was almost a whisper, and it shouldn't have reached the beat up and bloody Star, but it did. Star could still see what had happened. He'd come and tried to attack, just one strong sword strike, but it went through the Time Elemental and it just attacked back, slamming him into the wall. For hours he had been pelted with different attacks, slowly wearing him down. He got up again though and the Time Elemental made another dash at him.

Star: "I can't lose..."

The Time Elemental rushed Star again and he was thrown into the wall. He stood up, again. Star was almost dead, his thoughts didn't turn to his life though, they turned to something else, so far future where he would get his salvation... In a sudden flash the entire cave exploded, sending Star into a dark nightmare. He destroyed his village, he was taken control of, and he was doomed... to walk the planet for the rest of time.


Star lived for a long time, and had many adventures, he tried to put his past behind him, but he could never seem to. Eventually, the world was ending, and only two people remained on it.

Pheonix: "Star... are you going to keep going?"

Star: "I have to..."

Pheonix: "There will be trillion of years before life comes around again, the universe is falling apart... are you sure you want to stay?"

Star: "Yes..."

Pheonix: "Good luck Star, maybe we'll meet again."

Star: "Yeah..."

And so, the planet earth was gone, no life was left. In the rebirth of the universe, Star silently kept track of time, waiting for life to form again. He waited... and waited... for 6 trillion years...

Star: "Finally! The civalization have evolved!"

Star's wait was over when 5 kingdoms of creatures had finally become evolved enough to work with. Humans had come the farthest, much faster than on earth. They already had guns, but sadly, they lacked numbers. They were peaceful and no one really disturbed them. The mer people, as Star called them, lived under the water and were also peaceful. The three main creatures were beastmen. Cat humans, wolf humans, and bird humans. The bird people, were the most deadly and agressive. Wolf people were very honor bound but stayed mostly to themselves. Finally, the cat people were the plain nicest. So, Star chose to go with them.


Star entered one of the cat villages and was immediately stared at. It didn't take much time for them to figure out he wasn't exactly human...


Rhiea: "Hey Star, are you ready to train us some more!?"

Star: "You're ready!? You were out cold last night! Both of you were!"

Raiko: "Pfft, so?"

Star groaned, Raiko and Rhiea were probably the two strongest beings from this time and they were still kids. Raiko had somehow uncovered a modified gun that shot energy varying with the bullet, which he made himself, while Rhiea had powerful white magic and was incredibly powerful despite her appearnce. Her staff had already made a dent in Raiko's head several times.

Star: "Fine..."

Star had trained the kids for a long period of time, and had lived on for quite a while, things were going wrong though with his interference in this new world. He decided one night to leave and already knew how. He went to an empty field and gather time energy around, brilliant flashes were made as the energy focused. A giant clock appeared under Star and it began to spin.

Rhiea: "STAR!!!"

Raiko: "HEY!!!"

Star turned back to see Raiko and Rhiea, he felt kind of sad about leaving him, but he knew they'd show up in his time for some reason. He remembered it. He dropped a hammer and tons of bullets, all of them filled with time energy, and with that he was gone from sight by any creature. For a very very long time, he was all alone... This world too ended and no one was left...

Star: "..."

Star had been alive well over a trillion years now, nothing we left for him anywhere, he... was nothing but a shell of his last determined self. His detmination lived though and he simply could not die. He then knew what he had to do. Through his insanity he learned, that he must kill his original self, so he'd never have to go through this suffering. The world was bleak and desolate, it didn't care that it was instantly destroyed as Star broke the time barrier. Hell, the entire lifeless solar system didn't care as it was ripped up in the new vortex.


Star was flying down the time stream at an incredibly fast speed, he was almost there, then he saw something that infuriated him. Another Star was outside of the time stream, just hanging around. He jumped out of the time stream and stared at this Star who returned the Star.

Star (Time Champion): "What... happened to me?"

Star (Far Future: "HAHAHAHHAHAHA!"

Star (FF) pointed his sword at Star (TC) a huge blast of lightning and time energy shot out at Star who barely managed to duck into one of the time lines before it hit him.

Star(TC): "What the hell is going on...?"


Star (FF) ripped through another vortex, destroying a mountain, 3 villiages, and a lot of the earth inbetween, to find himself in the giant crater he created, with someone already looking into it.

Dracoon: "Star... No, you aren't Star, your brain activity is to eratic."

Star (FF) looked at Dracoon with an evil grin on his face.

Star: "Dracoon... we never had our duel did we..."

Dracoon: "..."

Star lashed out his sword at Dracoon who had already seen it comming and moved out of the way.

Dracoon: "Whatever you are, I can't let you destroy this world. There will be no climax of your story, your end will be now."

Dracoon pointed his buster cannon at Star as blue energy flooded it. Star started to laugh as insanity actually showed in him.

Dracoon: "Supreme Shot!"

A huge blue blast shot from Dracoon, enveloping Star, it went a little ways past and started to go back into Dracoon's buster cannon. The universe seemed to go quite as the shot ended, having been so close from being ripped apart.

Star: "HAAHAHAAHAHA!"

Dracoon: "What!?"

Star seemed uneffected as he dashed towards Dracoon and lightning struck Dracoon at least 10,000 times in the matter of a millisecond. Dracoon fell back, KO'd. Someone had been watching though.

Luke: "Maya... run away..."

Maya nodded to Luke as Luke kept staring at Star. Star looked right back, but had no interest at striking Luke down. Instead he started to laugh again and made his way to visit his old self.

He came to what he thought was his house and entered. He looked around and found an arena inside the house in the basement no one appeared to be home. He stepped onto the arena and tried to feel someones presence, and he did. Two people, both female, already approaching from somewhere in the house. He knew there was something familier about both of them, but he just couldn't think of what it was.


???: "Is he the one that you felt earlier?"

???: "Yes, he has to be, his power is exactly the same, it almost feels like Star's."

???: "Well, I've always been able to take care of the lightning, can you take care of the time?"

???: "I'm not sure, but I can try."

All the doors in the arena bursted open and Star looked around, out of no where he felt something strike his armor. He tried to pause time like he always did, but nothing happened, he was still in normal time.

???: "Right, I got it!"

A woman dressed in black clothing and a long black cape that appeared to have been sewn up jumped in front of Star.

Nijote: "All right, I'm not sure which one you are, but if you want to try and destroy parts of the earth you're going to have to fight!"

Star laughed and dashed towards Nijote at a blindly speed, but it surprised him when she matched his speed and got out of the way. He'd never fought someone so fast before without the aid of time. He turned to see a women dressed in white robes holding her staff in front of her and glowing. She was the reason he couldn't control time magic anymore and couldn't feel the lightning coursing through him. He charged at her, but Nijote jumped in front and landed a kick to his head, sending him backwards. He began angry and with anger came a weird power that began to rip apart the house.

Nijote: "Damnit, we can't fight him here, send him out of the house and away from us, we'll take care of him later!"

Lunari: "Yeah, good idea!"

Star could feel a new power acting on him and before he new it, he was gone.

Star: "... I can feel him now..."

Accidently, Lunari had teleported Star near Star's house, and both Star's knew it.

Star (BM): "... Nino... don't come looking for me..."

Star left the house quietly and ran as fast as he could, Nino was still asleep.

Star(BM): "Why are you here?"

Star (FF) : "Look at me, my body has no life left, no color of life, I can see it almost happened to you, your eyes have little life left in them, and its a new life, it isn't your old one... You know why I'm here."

Star (BM): "You think killing all the Stars will eventually unmake you so you don't have to suffer...? We chose to suffere remember!"

Star (FF): "Yes and you backed out of it, you'll die for it!"

Star (BM) didn't have time to react as Star (FF) froze time and attacked Star.

Star (BM): "Damnit... Even if you kill me, I will make sure you won't be strong enough to kill anymore! Seal of the Stars!"

Star stabbed himself in the stomach and started to flash. Star (FF) began to laugh as Star (BM) swung his sword out, his blood painting a seal around Star (FF) a blast of energy shot from the seal, crushing Star (FF) in it. Star (BM) relaxed, knowing he didn't fail.

Star (FF): "HAHAHAHA!"

Star (BM) looked up as Star (FF) shot from the dust and shot lightning at Star (BM), Star (BM) sighed and fell back as the lightning struck him. Star (FF) shot a blast of energy at Star, completely destroying his body.

Star: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!"

All on a key, all the days seemed to become one and the time lines crashed... Star was the master of this day, seeking to destroy himself to destroy the pain, but if he did this, the time line would completely be destroyed and as such, everyone and everything would die.

In times when an entire Possibility is threatened... when mortals no longer control their fates, letting their suffering lead them to destruction...

...teh "Ex" beings and their allies, who remained quietly bound to Fate, broke their chains and awakened...

The Mother Ex, the ultimate deity, watched over the Timeline...

Mother Ex: "Serra... Dracoon... Siryx... Nino... Luke... all of you... The Timeline is ending... Time and Space are collapsing upon themselves... Trought the Tides of Time, a twisted, corrupted version of the being know as "Star" was born. Infused with never-ending power and life, this twisted image of a former friend seeks to end it's own existance... even tought he knows that he is deeply bound to the Timeline and will cause an Universal Collapse if he does.

You are the ones who were chosen by Fate, by the Mortals, by the Immortals, and by yourselves.

In the hurricane of Time, everything is ripped away... Friendship breaks, love fades, hatred cool down, vows are forgotten...

I will awaken the power within you which your long years as ordinary beings had cast to sleep.

The Dark Power, which neither Time or Space affect shall awaken. From the depths of the Dark Weapon, the epicenter of all postive and negative feelings as well as my only link remaining with this Timeline, I will send a single shockwave which will break your binds to Fate and give you a fighting chance against the corrupted image of your former friend."

In the Void, where neither Time or Space existed, a strange movement begun...

Mother Ex: "NeoBowser... you who was locked away after the Final Ragnarok, to stand as the final guardian of Evil... For several trillions of years, your hatred has cooled down as the source of your unholy power faded and now, the corruptive power which was once yours left your body as Evil disappeared for good.

I will break the seal on your twisted form... For you are the only one who knows the name and incantation of the spell that can put the Far Future Star to rest.

May the power of Eternum and it's Guardian, NeoBowser, be unsealed!

AWAKEN!!!"

Time and Space were ripped apart as the Timeline was twisted further.

Evils of the past matured... and since no mortals forever remain in the dark... Even the one who everyone tought was beyond salvation, even the one who once was know as the Absolute Evil... became to be no more.

NeoBowser: "Bah! As if anyone cared... why would you want to unseal me?"

Mother Ex: "You are not NeoBowser... not the one which I fought and you know it. You have watched Star during all those years, locked away..."

NeoBowser: "Sure I did! I don't understand why he's destroying like that. Such a waste of power... but it doesn't matter for there is no way I'm going to help you."

Mother Ex: "Even the Anti-Exs corrected their ways. Even Siryx, the Avatar, now stands against the horrors of this new abomination. Why wouldn't you?"

NeoBowser: "I'm not of this world and anyway, I'm the source of this new enemy's power."

Mother Ex: "Indeed... and this is why you're the only one who can bring him back to where he belongs. You are no longer who you think you are, NeoBowser... in fact, you are not even NeoBowser. NeoBowser died years ago. Bowser... I will ask you to overlook those fake memories of a past that isn't yours... and to make your own identity, like Siryx did."

Bowser: "NeoBowser's the name!... and I'm who I am!"

Mother Ex: "You are not. You are what memories of another being dictated you would be. The power within you is Dark... but not Evil. You have the occasion of changing your Fate again... do not waste it!"

Bowser: "Bah! We could argue until the end of time... but well, that would be deathfully boring. I guess I'd better try it out... and anyway, if that Far Future Star guy defeats all of those heroes people, I will not forgive him! I AM... I mean, I WAS the strongest Evil and always will be and as such, if I couldn't defeat those heroes, then I will NEVER allow anyone to defeat them!"

Mother Ex: "Heh... so many years and it shows... you truly changed. I guess it is time for you to exist again."

Bowser: "Rightfully so! Send me back... NOW!!!"

Mother Ex: "As impatient as always..."

...

Bowser came out of the rift in front of him and stood, in the middle of a cratter.

Bowser stared at himself... years of not being exposed to negative feelings had caused him to evolve... backward.

His mechanical arm and right-side of face were intact... but that was all.

His tail was now much shorter and his shell was more like a normal turtle shell, altought it was still covered with spikes.

His eyes had reverted to just plain red unstead of blood-red and his horns were definitely shorter.

Most of all, Bowser wasn't quite as tall as he used to be. In fact, he was now barely the quarter of his original size... altought he still towered above regular humans, being more than twice their size.

In fact, he was back to the physical appearance he had in his old days, fighting Mario... minus the mechanical parts, of course.

Bowser looked at his trident... It had shrunk down to a size adapted to his. Altought it was in perfect shape, no magic was left in it. Sure, the technology that made it was greater than any magic... but the fact that no dark powers were left in it bothered him.

In fact, he couldn't even hear the Trident's voice... as if the Trident's soul had passed away, long ago.

Bowser slowly made it out of the cratter...

His first priority was to find those so-called heroes and regroup them. Then, he will have to regain his power.

Altought he does remember the spell Eternum, he doubts he could cast it in his weakened state. Furthermore, Bowser had the strange feeling that until some conditions were met, the spell wouldn't affect him for a reason he didn't knew...

While he hated to face it, he would need the help of this Possibility's version of the Mother Ex. She was one of the heroes that helped destroy the many evils of this Possibility and stopped him twice in the past, once during his attempt to replace this Dimension with the Chaos Heaven and the second time, when he had attempted to invert the Final Ragnarok's properties. Both times, he almost succeeded... both times, he failed.

According to what he saw of the Timeline... Star, if he's alive, should be the one he should look for first. Then, Dracoon and Serra. Bel would be a great addition as well. If the Timeline is still stable enough to support it, Odin and Fenrir should be summoned as well. Oh! He almost forgot them! Luke, Maya, Kalar, and Garro should be there as well!

Most definitely, with all those beings at his side, Far Future Star would be crushed in no time.

But he had a doubt... he had a feeling that new heroes would need to arise as well... which was probable.

After all, if Mother Ex had summoned him back from the Void, it wasn't for nothing! New heroes must have arisen... and since he is the last being in the entire Timeline who can use the Ultimate Attack, then he will most definitely be a target the second Far Future Star learns of his existance.

For some reason, Bowser has the feeling that in his insanity, Far Future Star will not realise that the heroes's success will be his as well, minus the Universal Collapse part.

But well, can't stand there forever...

Bowser begun the trip toward Serra's village, hoping Far Future Star would neither locate him first, neither make it there before him...

Janus threw up, again. This was the fourth time now. Grey held his head above the toilet of their apartment. Did they really drink too much last night...?

Grey: "Come on, Janus... Let it out, man..."

Janus: "It.... It's not... the alcohol..."

He retched again, and more bile streamed from his throat as his stomach continued to churn. Something was wrong, seriously, seriously, SERIOUSLY wrong.

Grey: "I've called Kalar and Garro, they should be here in a few minutes. Garro'll help you, he'll make you feel better."

Janus: "It's... the time stream..."

Grey: "The time stream? Wha--- Oh, head above the toilet man!"

Janus dry heaved, then wet heaved, then dry heaved some more before letting out another round of hot stomach acid. He knew full well what was wrong, and raised his head from the bowl weakly...

The room was best described as dingy. Though amazingly, psychotically rich because of Janus' adventures through time, both men refused to live in anything other than a shithole. The end result was a bathroom in the middle of a slum apartment with peeling linoleum on the floor, and Janus holding his hung-over head in front of a cracked toilet as both time and inability to hold his liquor made his stomach relive hell.

It was about then that Kalar and Garro, no more financially secure than the other two, burst into the apartment door (they lived down the hall). Garro saw Janus hurling, and whipped out his pocket-bible, chanting a short sedative spell... They had to get to the bottom of this.

Several seconds later, Janus was lying on the beat-up couch that he normally slept on, trying desperately to explain the time stream conflict to his friends...


Janus: "....and so you see, the moment I felt the time stream alter so heavily due to that one Star's death, it had a bit of an adverse effect on my body."

Grey: "Hence the inability to keep your normally unexcessive downing of several shots of gin and tonic down."

Janus: "I'll have you know that drinking is good for the soul; I should know that better than any of you."

Kalar: "Which explains why you drink at least ten times as much as me."

Janus: "WITHOUT a dare."

Kalar rolled his eyes as Garro stood up and tried to maintain some semblance of order to the room.

Garro: "Look, look, there are more important things at hand... Star. He's dead, but still alive? And you say that the time streams are coming together? And I suppose this means we're about to embark on some zany madcap adventure in order to repair it?"

Janus: "Yeah, pretty much. We'll need some vodka."

Grey: "Wait... Wait..... If the time streams are all coming together, and a while ago I.... Oh, shit."

Janus: "What?"

---------------------------------------------

Somewhere outside of Las Vegas.......

A portal in time ripped open, caused by a strange eddie in the continuum. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 figures fell out of it, crashing in a pile on top of each other.

Three of them sprang to their feet immediately. Dressed in black pinstripe suits, with colored hair and black sunglasses, they were completely aware of their surroundings, though not how they got there.


Red: "What the fuck are we doing here?"

Blue: "It seems as though we have been unbanished by that bastardic fellow, Grey."

Red: "The Detective?"

Blue: "No, the real one. There is no Detective."

Janus, Master of Mediocrity: "Ugh...."

Another figure rose to his feet as Green nodded in agreement. It was a teen in a simple white t-shirt and pants, with a red hat. He carried a large duffel bag, of course.

"I.... I'm not supposed to be here...."

Janus, Explorer of Time: "I guess I am, technically."

Janus, Agent White: "I, as well. Strange, indeed."

The two other figures were similar in appearance to the boy. One was older, wearing a steel hauberk that really served no purpose other than to keep his body alive at all times. The other was clad similarly to the three Agents, his hair a pure white color. Trippy. They knew somewhat why they were here, and figured there was no real reason for it other than to just go with the flow. Both of them had experienced this before, one of them had experienced it twice, actually. And both of them knew what was going to happen next.

User Grey: "THAT BASTARD! WHERE IS HE? WHERE?"

The thunderous rage that was User Grey blew them all back into the time stream, isolating them in their respective Universes and sealing them away from this story. There'd be no one to stop him this time! He'd break the fourth wall, and the fifth, and maybe even the sixth, he just wanted Grey dead. Dead, rotting, and utterly out of commission. He had, after all, been replaced as the avatar.

User Grey blasted off into the sky, a bright blue aura emitting from him DBZ style, as he began his search...


-------------------------------

Janus: "What, what's wrong?"

An idea suddenly hit Grey, and he relaxed.

Grey: "Nah, nothing. Nothing at all. Let's go get that Vodka."

Janus, Kalar and Garro: "Can do!"

The four of them grinned as they exited the building, headed for the liquor store and off into adventure.

OoC Siryx is your character as far as I'm concerned.

Dracoon: "Bowser... You won't win..."

Dracoon was standing up, in the way of Bowser, obviously very damaged.

Dracoon: "Eturnum... it doesn't work on shadows, Nijote proved this when you hit a shadow of her, you thought it killed her, and for a brief time she didn't exist, but her real body was saved and Origin existed outside of time... But, this new Star... he isn't weak... Before you even get done saying it you'll be dead... he also exists outside time, he'll pause time and kill you before you can even say it... don't try it... Find a different way..."

Dracoon struggled to get out of the crater and began to head in a different direction from Bowser all together.


Bowser's journey was short and very uneventful, he ran into 3 Serra's at the village, each of them wondering what was going on. There was the Ex Serra, there was also a childish Serra, but there was also a more mature and stronger looking one.

Serra (Ex): "Siryx... Is that NeoBowser?"

Serra (young): "Who?"

Serra (adult): "Yes... I think it is..."

Drake: "God, I'm still confused, I'm not sure who is who anymore..."


Rhiea: "So... where are we?"

Rhiea and Raiko walked down a street in a crowded town, getting a lot of strange looks. They weren't very well clothed for the cold day, especially in the middle of the winter, at least... on this part of the planet. Their tails didn't help any either.

Raiko: "From what I know, this is 'New York City' one of the biggest cities on the planet."

Rhiea: "Well, you think we'll find Star here?"

Raiko: "No clue."

Rhiea: "What do you mean no clue, we can both catch his scent... probably to much of it."

Raiko: "There are a lot of Stars on this planet, I think I count 5."

Rhiea: "Whatever..."

Rhiea was wearing very light clothes, especially for being a white mage. The two hammers at her side showed she meant buisness though and a mugger had already tried to take advantage of her small frame and almost weak looking body, but like a cat, she had very slim and strong musceles, the mugger never knew what hit him as a hammer plowed against his head, throwing him out into the street knocked out.

Raiko had a long cape on and it seemed to never lift up. He had a very unique gun that could fire practically any ammunition, his favorite being the enchanted kind. A gang fight had met a quick end as a single bullet exploded and sent everyone into a nearby fence or trashcan.


Raiko: "Lets hurry up, these humans are staring more now."

Rhiea: "Yeah, as if it was any different than 30 minutes ago."

Rhiea and Raiko started moving at a much faster pace, going extremely fast, even though they were expected to go fast from their bodies, they seemed to be going a lot faster than what most others went at.


Star (original, untainted, before he fought the time elemental): "The sky seems different today..."

Star looked at the sky, it seemed to be distorted... badly.


Nijote: "Nino! You here!?"

Nijote went through the house looking for Nino. She knew she'd be in despair after losing Star, who's death seemed to be traveling the world at an incredibly fast speed.

Lunari: "Nino, come on, its not safe here, that demon is on his way."

Nijote (quietly): "Remember, don't say who killed Star, she might do something crazy."

Lunari (quietly): "Yeah, I know..."

Nijote: "Come on Nino, we need to get you somewhere safe."

The house seemed quiet, as if no one was living here...

Nino: "i'm not leaving..."

Nijote looked around and then went to the room she'd heard the voice from.

Nijote: "Come on, we have to go..."

Nino: "I can't leave... I won't leave..."

Nijote sighed as Lunari entered the room.

Lunari: "Come on Nino... You need to leave, we don't need to lose you too..."

Nino sighed, she'd been in the bed all day moping over Star's death, she woke up with Star leaving and fell back to sleep, not being able to stop him. His death hit her hard, she was linked with him. She stood up and nodded to them.

Nino: "Ok... lets go..."


Somewhere, not quite in this dimension, but still in the reach of anyone strong enough, a diety, a demon, and a phoenix spoke.

Origin: "We have to stop him."

Dark Phoenix: "Yes... we should try and stop this creature."

Phoenix: "Hmm..."

Origin: "We can all strike at the same time, he won't know what hit him."

Dark Phoenix: "He can't beat us anyways."

Phoenix: "We can try..."

Phoenix, Origin, and Dark Phoenix all teleported from the tower, arriving near Far Future Star.

Star: "I know you three... ha, I can see you want to fight..."

Phoenix and Dark Phoenix's spears appeared from their fire and they pointed them at Star.

Origin: "This isn't about fun, whatever will happen to you Star, does not mean you can destroy the peace of this world!"

Dark Phoenix: "Yes, you will pay for this!"

Dark Phoenix charged Star, Star laughed as he dodged the spear and struck once, Dark Phoenix's flames changed like he was hit thousands of times though.

Dark Phoenix: "What was that!?"

Star laughed as Origin charged and he shot a huge blast at Origin, blasting him back into the ground. Phoenix sat back as Dark Phoenix and Origin took another charge, getting beat back again.

Star: "Distortion!"

Time altered around Dark Phoenix and Origin and they disappeared.

Phoenix: "Sent them back to the tower, so soon?"

Star: "If they were human, that would've killed them instantly. Eternum was believed to be the strongest attack till around 42,000,000,000,000 AD. Then, a newer attack was made, more reliable and it wouldn't damage the time line, only space and time in a certain area. I used to use a smaller version of it, now I have the true power of it though. You'll be next."

Phoenix sighed as he rushed Star, Star froze time again, but it had no effect, Phoenix hit Star and Star was blasted back a bit.

Star: "Fury Blade!"

Star struck at Phoenix at least 1000 times in one second, lightning striking him. Phoenix didn't even attempt to dodge as he took all the hits.

Phoenix: "You can't beat me, I'm more of a true immortal than anything you'll ever see."

Star: "To bad you're so weak, it should be easy to keep you away though..."

Energy generator from Star and it exploded outwards, enveloping Phoenix and collapsing on him, time and space distorted and Phoenix was gone.

Star: "Distortion."

Star laughed again, for a second he had regained his humanity and a personality, but as he used the attack, it left him, again he was long gone and out of his senses.

Bowser smiled.

Dracoon was wrong. Eternum didn't worked on Nijote becease that it was not directed toward her.

If he had directed toward her, it would be gone.

Even shadows are consumed by Emptiness. This new Star WILL fall to Eternum... but for that, he must learn about him, he must learn to feel his soul and body signatures... he must be able to target him! He must not repeat the mistake he did when he tried to erase Nijote!

That was the only real downside of the Ultimate Attack... maybe it had been placed there as a security system of some sort? Eternum could only erase the intended target... and for that, it means the actual intended target!

As such, if Bowser tought "erase the being in front of me" and that it is a shadow... the attack won't work. Bowser was concentrated in eliminating the being in front of him when he casted the spell on Nijote... but if he had intended not to eliminiate his opponent, but the real actual Nijote... she would have never existed as the power of the spell would have erased her.

Bowser smiled...

...and then, the paradox ended and Bowser emerged back in Serra's village.

Bowser: "Ha... there you are, Ex Lightheart..."

Siryx: "I cannot believe this... you were defeated at Ragnarok! Your final attempt was thwarted! You were banished into the Emptiness! How can you still be in the Material Plane?"

Bowser laughed.

Bowser: "My dear servant... you forgot that your master cannot be eliminated so easily. You see... Mother Ex appeared to me and told me that I was not the final enemy after all... that one enemy remained... that until Star would vanish, Evil would survive in another form."

Siryx: "Non-sense! Evil ceased to exist!"

Bowser: "Yes... in the Future only. You forget that as long as Evil will exist in at least one part of the hearts of mortals, new villains will continue to emerge. This... image of Star feeds on the sadness and despair he lived throught the generations... and this caused him to go insane."

Siryx: "But then... why didn't we contained his powers? I mean... I and Serra are immortals, right?"

Bowser: "You are so naive, Siryx... you two are True Immortals, beings that will someday evolve beyond the Material Plane and become one with Mother Ex... but Star, him, is stuck in this Possibility, forced to witness the cycle of life over and over again without ever gaining the right to either Fall into death or Ascend into an actual Limitless existance."

Siryx: "This reminds me of the 8th Dark King..."

Bowser: "Yes, he is exactely the same as my second-in-command was... exept that he's wielding the power I should wield right now."

Siryx: "Hmph! You'll wield it soon! I'm pretty sure that you have already planned out the revival of Evil in the Future!"

Bowser laughed again.

Bowser: "Hmph! You sure are naive! Star is not raw Evil... he is pure Destruction. I cannot gain power from Destruction alone... and without my powers, I will be unable to survive the Timeline Collapse that will occur."

Siryx: "WHAT?!?"

Bowser: "Star... is more than what he appears to be. He is the Heart of the World, he is the very Life Force of the very Material Plane! If his soul was to be destroyed... it would create a distorsion that would erase all life-forms in all Time periods and all places! In short... a Timeline Collapse!"

Siryx: "...I still don't trust you. I remember you... I know that you're willing to destroy the Universe. Better be dead than Good, isn't it?"

Bowser: "NeoBowser was ready for this... but I used to be him... I no longer am. I am back to just plain "Bowser" now..."

Siryx: "You will not fool us! You're the Absolute Evil! The ultimate incarnation of all Evils! As long as villains will appear, you'll always be there to help them and control them!"

Bowser: "Believe what you want. Mother Ex gave me a chance to break free of my Absolute Evil title and actually become a new soul. After all... you used to be the Avatar, don't you?"

Siryx: "I was never the Avatar! It's just an image from another Timeline!"

Bowser: "It's the same for me. I never was the Absolute Evil, altought I did control all Evils... It's just an image. It's just that it took me billions and billions of years to understand it..."

Siryx: "..."

Bowser turned to Serra (Ex) and stared deep into her eyes. It seemed weird... altought pure Evil was in his eyes... the flames seemed... dead. His stare was cold like the cold sleep of death... the flames of hatred were obviously gone.

Bowser: "Siryx may not believe me... but I know that you will believe me, Serra."

Then, suddenly, Bowser felt a weird distorsion in the entire Timeline...

Bowser: "Eternum?... no... it wasn't raw enough... not destructive enough..."

Bowser turned toward the direction where Star (Far Future) stood and then, he smiled.

Bowser *thinks* Oh yeah... the so-called "Eternum-killer" spell, Distorsion. Way more useful than Eternum when it's used on mortals... but I know that Distorsion is weaker... for it only kills. Eternum affect the very Timeline and doesn't kill... it erases the target, entirely.

Bowser smiled and was thankful that he lived long enough to grow immune to Distorsion. But he began to wonder... in the far future, just before her Ascension, Serra used her powers to unleash Eternum on the Far Future Star, sensing the insanity within him... and it failed. Why did it failed?...

Far Future Star evolved... far... far beyond the Material Plane. Unable to grasp Star's true form, Serra was unable to unleash the attack correctly and simply destroyed Star's last link to the world, leaving him to die mentally... for Far Future Star was dead. His power and body remained... but his soul had died from the pain long ago.

In fact... maybe Eternum was not truly the true anwser to this problem. After all... maybe the REAL attack he would need was... heh! What a weird idea!... but well, who knows? Maybe it will work...

Grey: "What? You're out?"

Salesman: "You cleaned me out last night! Don't you remember?"

Grey: "Bullshit! We're not that rich!"

Salesman: "You're putting my kids through college!"

Grey: "....Oh. Huh, guess it's time to cut back, then."

Janus: "Come on, Grey... There are bigger matters at hand that we need to attend to."

The four men left the liquor store dejectedly, and were just about to leave for their respective apartments, when suddenly a pair of figures rushed past them. Janus, Kalar, and Garro naturally recognized them. The three of them whirled around as the figures rushed off into the distance, down the city streets, across the trolleyways, and through the slums where the four men lived.

Janus: "Wha, that---"

Kalar: "It's Raiko! And Rhiea!"

Janus: "Are they even from this time?"

Garro: "You said the timelines were running together, right? Well...."

Janus nodded. He snapped his fingers, and Satchel appeared at his side. There was a short flash of light, and the four men suddenly changed into their adventuring clothes (you know, the ones they all look really cool in), deciding to come out of their civilian lives for a little while. People stared, screamed in terror, you know the dig. There was also some rather inexplicable nervous fear among anyone who decided to take a gander at Kalar and Garro. No use in trying not to be dark now.

Janus: "Right, let's go!"

Grey: "You guys..."

Janus, Kalar, and Garro stopped suddenly, looking back at Grey, who had a very serious expression on his face...

"Go on ahead. With the timelines clashing like this, there's something I've got to go deal with myself. I'll catch up, if I get out of this alive."

Janus: "Alive? You're going to be ok, right?"

Grey grimaced.

Grey: "I should be... If all goes well. Seriously, get going, you've got some catching up to do. Chances are you'll meet a few familiar faces along the way..."

Kalar: "Grey... Keep safe. You're not omnipotent."

Grey: "I know... And that's exactly the problem. Go. I'll catch up later."

The three of them nodded. Grey turned from them, and enveloped himself in a bright green light before blasting off into the sky.

Grey (thinking): 'I've got to go face him... Before he catches wind of everything else that's going on right now.'

Janus, Kalar, and Garro all readied themselves.

Janus: "Well, guys, let's have some fun with this! Ready? On your mark..."

Kalar: "Get set..."

Garro: "GO!"

The three of them were off! Janus' feet blazed along the city streets as he dashed ahead of Kalar and Garro. Kalar squatted, and his metal leg pistoned off the ground, rocketing him into the sky and allowing him to jump an insane distance, placing him far ahead of Janus, who caught up almost as quickly. Garro chanted a quick prayer, and rose into the sky, a pair of spiritual wings (one black, one white) forming on his back, letting him fly with the speed of the heavens...

Garro: "Wings of the Fallen Angel!!!"

In a few short seconds, they'd catch up with the two cat people...

Rhiea and Raiko actually paused and turned around. They saw them comming and both smiled.

Rhiea: "Looks like they want a race."

Raiko: "This should be fun."

Rhiea: "Haste!"

Rhiea and Raiko sped up, a lot, and started running again easily making it to 60 miles per hour and zooming past cars.


Star (FF) stood and began to feel out energy. He couldn't detect his younger self, not with all these stronger people around, so he thought up the only thing he could. He'd have to kill everyone till he could find them, his slightly working mind found a problem with this though. It would take to long, he might be to late, he should just go to the time elemental's cave and wait there...


Nino: "Where are we going...?"

Nijote had somehow, someway, acquired an airship.

Lunari: "To find everyone I think, ask Nijote when she gets done talking to the crew..."


Nijote stood in front of her crew, they were very loyal and never questioned her orders, in other words, she liked this crew a lot and made sure none of them got killed.

Nijote: "All right, you all know the course?"

Captain: "Yes ma'am, we're going to be swinging by Serra's town, Stacice's house, and around New York to find Janus and Grey!"

Nijote: "Good work captian."

Nijote went up the stairs to the deck, she spotted Lunari and Nino and Lunari turned to ask her.

Lunari: "Where are we going exactly?"

Nijote: "To pick up everyone, we don't have a chance alone, but if we can gather everyone, we should be able to take him down."

Lunari: "Where first?"

Nijote: "Well, judging by where we're heading, New York."

Lunari: "Ok."


Raiko and Rhiea turned right into a dead end.

Rhiea: "Looks like the race is over..."

Raiko: "Yep... well, ist not like they're going to be evil or something."

Rhiea: "Umm, didn't two of them almost kill everyone last time we saw them?"

Raiko: "... yep..."

Rhiea: "Hmmm..."


At Stacice's house, she was working on fixing Dracoon, scolding him like he was a child.

Stacice: "What did you do to yourself!?"

Stacice picked up another tool as she began to work on the circuitry.

Stacice: "I can't believe this, you've been practically fried, it looks like you stood on the highest point of the earth with a huge thunderstorm going on!"

Stacice moved and began to work on another part of Dracoon's insides.

Stacice: "You should really take better care of yourself, if I have to do this again!!!"

Stacice sighed as she began to work at preparing his outsides.

Stacice: "Have you ever thought of just not fighting?"

Dracoon: "..."

Stacice: "You should really just be more careful..."


Serra (Ex): "He's comming this way..."

Not that far off, (FF) Star was soaring through the air right towards Serra's village, he was on crash corse with the entire village, lightning energy built into a huge ball around him.

Almost immediately after the two catkids stopped, they had a scythe, a gun barrel, and a hammer threatening them... Janus, Kalar, and Garro were playing a friendly game of "What's Wrong With This Picture", and came up with a pair of cat kids in the middle of New York city...

Janus: "We're not gonna hurt you, this is just a precautionary measure... But what are you doing here? If the timelines are corrupting each other, then that means that you've both got a reason to be here too, so out with it!"

Bowser turned to Star (FF), smiling.

Bowser: "Oh! Here comes my victim! So... you're that fool, Star, whose mind was corrupted by several cycles worth of life and death? Well... we now know who of us is stronger! My soul stood the test of time... yours did not!"

Bowser crossed his arms and his smile widened.

Bowser: "If you believe that you impress me... then know that you impress me... a lot! Indeed, I rarely seen somehow as PATHETIC as you are! Look at yourself! Don't you realise that you are the Heart of the Universe and that self-termination will result in a Timeline Collapse? Of course not, since you're a fool!"

Bowser pointed his Trident at Star.

Bowser: "Go on! GO ON! Throw that stupid ball of electricity! You know very well that the only two persons who can match your power, me and Serra, are just standing in front of you! Go on! Attack us so I may have a good justification to erase your sorry self from the Timeline!"

Bowser turned to Serra and whispered.

Bowser: "I KNOW that he can hear me... but well, since his soul is mostly broken, who cares? Anyway... he came from the far, far future... like, after your Ascension and Siryx's. This means that you won't be able to beat him up normally... in fact, if you have Dark Weapon with you, then now may be the time to wake it! We cannot go easy on that guy! Unleash your FULL power... but do not do the mistake of striking him physically! It doesn't matter how much power he has since Dark Weapon will ALWAYS inflict damage... but be sure to strike the soul, NOT the body. I'm not even sure this version of Star has any physical componements left in his uber-evolved body of his."

Rhiea: "Pfft, we aren't kids anymore and we know all about you, you wouldn't survive in a fight against us!"

Rhiea smiled, almost jokingly about it all.

Raiko: "You should really chill out, we're hear to stop Star."

Rhiea: "Duh."

Raiko smirked as he pulled out his gun and aimed it right at Janus' forehead.

Raiko: "In less than a second you'd be injured and it would take you a while to regenerate, at point blank range you wouldn't be dodging either, especially with a crowd of people behind you."

Rhiea sighed as she pouted Raiko's gun down.

Rhiea: "We don't need to prove we know all of their weaknesses you know."

Raiko: "Its fun though..."


A huge ship was seen flying towards New York, it was still a little bit away.


Star laughed as the ball exploded towards the youngest Serra, she disappeared and Hero reappeared in her place and smashed the lightning aside.

Hero: "Pride..."

Hero struck out at Star with his sword and Star stepped backed, almost in a second, they both jumped away from everyone and began to fight.

Serra: "Damnit, Hero's not going to accept help."


Star (BM) woke up, it was burning hot, he was on his back on some rock hard ground that seemed to be burning right into his bones. He got up slowly and looked around. Fire burned everything, everywhere, the sky was red and seemed to be burning itself.

??? :"Ah, glad you're awake, was wondering how long you'd take."

Star spun around to see a guy in his 20s leaning on a huge axe. He laughed and his hair seemed to spike in a reddish/brown color.

???: "Welcome to the closest thing to hell."

Star: "Elemental of Fire?"

???: "Ha, you wish, that guy was a push over. No, I'm more like the god of fire."

Star: "You're mortal."

???: "Right... I meant that as umm... ya know, I can control fire really really well."

Star: "Where are we?"

???: "Geeze, I thought I'd be the one asking the questions. You're in my arena, here on the inside of earth."

Star: "Arena? There are no walls, no tiles, just rocks."

???: "Ok, FINE, this is where I am going to build my arena, well, was, but you might be my ticket out of here and into a real body so I don't have to wait around here anymore."

Star sighed as lightning energy and wind energy began to build up inside of him.

Star: "You want to fight for our powers?"

???: "Ah, now you got it. Name is something that is cliche and used with fire people."

Star: "..."

???: "Ok, so the names Bond... James~~"

Star rushed forward and kneed him, sending whoever this was spawling backwards.

Janus: "Too slow."

Gun to head, scythe to throat, and hammer to.... Janus' side? By the time Raiko's pistol had reached his forehead, the catboy's arm was gripped in a vise-like hold that sent his hand straight upwards, reminding the boy that no matter how quick he was, he'd never be THAT fast. Garro and Kalar backed off, Janus released Raiko as Rhiea went to put the gun downward, and he stared grimly at them.

"Like you'd fire... That bullet would go straight through my head and into someone far more innocent than you or me, and I'd get right back up, you cocky little bastard. Now what's this business about stopping Star? Last I checked he stopped other people from doing stupid stuff."

Raiko: "My bullets aren't normal first off."

Rhiea: "Shut up."

Rhiea pushed Raiko into the wall to get him to stay quiet.

Rhiea: "Some Star from like 100 trillion years in the future came back in time to crush his former self, but accidently got one of the alternate Star's, after that, he merged all the time lines so he wouldn't have to go through time ot find his original self!"

Rhiea spoke as fast as she could, although it became obvious that some of her rs and ses rolled on as if she wasssss rrrrrepeating them.


Hero and Star kept fighting, they'd moved far from the town and kept going at each other, almost as if they were two dogs trying to rip out the others throat. Star was faster and stronger than Hero, but Hero seemed to be a lot more skilled.

Hero: "Why are you here?"

Star continued to laugh as he slammed his sword down at Hero, Hero being able to block it and jump back before it crashed into the earth. Star seemed to disappear and reappear right behind Hero, Hero flipped backwards over Star as he slashed forward. Hero ducked as another slash went right where his head was.

Hero: "Are you to stupid to answer?"

Star: "You aren't as weak."

Hero could feel something comming, and then Star vanished, Hero felt an intense pain as a sword ripped through his shoulder. Hero unsheathed Dark Wish and spoke to it.

Hero: "Destroy this shell of a human, and free him into the bliss of the after life."

Dark Wish: "As you wish..."

Dark energy seemed to expand around Hero and Star, and as Star laughed the energy faded.

Hero: "What happened...?"

Dark Wish: "I'm sorry... I'm not strong enough to grant this wish."

Hero: "W-what!?"

Hero felt the sword being pulled out of his shoulder and spun around, to get a face full of lightning smashing into him. He felt weak as his body gave out on him and he fell into darkness.


Star: "This fool can't stop me... and now to make sure he never poses another problem."

Star charged lightning up in his hand and released it, a huge jolt of electricty shot towards Hero, and the earth where Hero was exploded. A light flashed and Hero's presence disappeared.

Star: "Those swords saved him..."


Star (BM): "How long have you been here?"

James Bond?: "Oh a year or two, of pure training!"

The firey youth jumped forward with his great axe and slammed down hard, Star moved easily to avoid the slow attack, but as the great axe hit, fire shot from it, throwing Star across the ground. Star flipped up in his roll and shot back towards the kid, the kid didn't even move as Star struck him.

Kid: "Hey, normal attacks won't work here unless they're powered by an element!"

The kid made another attack as he tried to smash the great axe over Star's head this time. Star could only move out of the way of the blade and was hit by the fire.

Star: "What is your name again?"

Star didn't have time to hear and answer as another explosion threw him farther away.

Janus: "Okay, so what are we waiting for, then? It's pretty obvious that said Star needs to be stopped, timelines need to be restored, etc etc etc and then some."

He'd like as much as anyone else to resume this rather high-speed, action-packed adventure...

---------------------------

Grey: "So you came, too..."

The timelines had opened up, and User Grey was here. Grey could do nothing to run, only face him at this point. The rooftops made the city look glorious down below... It was a sight he hadn't ever really appreciated. Now, he almost wished he could wave his hand and watch every light flicker with their motions.

This man could. Grey could not.

The skies darkened over the city, and Grey looked to the skies. User would arrive soon and try to kill him. That much he knew. Grey didn't know what he'd be up against. He didn't even know if he'd survive. But he did know that there was a damn good reason for User's absence in this universe, and he wasn't about to let the bastard come back. If he came back, then the whole struggle against Star would be moot. No self-discovery, no greater sense of depth in Star's timeline, no plot, no story, no drama, no conclusion. User'd just wipe him from sheer existence, nevermind the timeline. Eternum had nothing on this.

Great, Grey thought. He was the only one standing between a decent story and utter pointlessness.

And that was about when the thunder roared through the clouds.

Star (Far Future) laughed as he broke time even more than it already was and appeared right above Janus and them. He pointed his sword downward, knowing they couldn't detect him quite yet. Energy built up at the tip of the sword and lightning rained down on New York City. Star began to laugh crazily as explosions started to occur from anything that could explode.


Rhiea: "Uhh! What's he doing!"

Rhiea looked up scared. Lightning bolts started to destroy the buildings next to them at an incredibly fast rate.

Rhiea: "Barrier!"

Rhiea threw her hand into the air and a barrier enveloped everyone around her. The barrier held everything out, and everything in. Star's first attack was short, although incredibly destructive, and he was already on his way down to take them all on at once it seemed.

Raiko: "All right, drop the barrier I got him!"

Raiko had his gun pointed straight up at Star, the barrel on it spinning and energy pulsing from it.

Rhiea: "Ok..."

The barrier dropped, and as it dropped Raiko let out his shot, the resulting blast was huge. It was probably about 50 feet in diameter. The blast collided with Star and kept rising into the sky.

Raiko: "Shit!"

Raiko hardly got it out before the blast suddenly exploded, leaving New York city as nothing but a giant crater in the earth. Rhiea had been able to raise another barrier in time, saving them from being blown to bits and as the barrier dropped, the only thing there to greet them was Star, approaching them from 30 feet away.


Nijote: "What was that!?"

Lunari: "Hurry up, we got to get there!"


Star (BM) lept into the air as the person lunged at him again with the great axe.

Star: "Feel like telling your name yet?"

The person laughed as fire started to spin around him.

???: "Its Dante, and this is the Blazing Sturmwind!"

Star blinked and Dante was right next to him, sending a horizantal strike at Star's stomach but comming up a little short. With the slash a small tornado of fire spun around Star. Dante did an over head swing, trying to cleave the flame tornado in half.

Star: "Lightning!"

Star had blocked the great axe with his sword. Lightning coursed through his body and struck Dante, sending him spawling backwards.

Dante: "Nice one, lets see how you like this though!"

Dante struck the ground with his graet axe and a fissure raced towards Star. About half way from Star, the fissure suddenly exploded and a giant ball of fire was comming towards Star.

Grey: "Ergh... gotta get out of here! PSI Teleport!!!"

He spun in a tight circle for several seconds, and was suddenly gone!

Janus: "Is that him?"

Garro: "It's gotta be! Stand aside cat-boy, and watch a real shot!"

The priest shoved Janus out of his way and raised both of his pistols in the air. The angel wings on his back spread and began to glow, disappearing back into his body and passing as a white, glowing light through his arms and toward his guns. There was a bright flash, brighter than the sun, brighter than anything they'd ever seen, and it seemed almost as though the barrels of the guns melded together for several seconds, as one large horizontal column of pure white energy screamed outward from Garro's already fully-blessed pistols. The blast spread wide, surging forward and circling around itself in a spiraling pattern. It approached its initial target (Star), channelling the very power of the gods through Garro's frail human body and out at the falling swordsman. He hoped, if anything at all, that the blast would at least stall him until they could get away, if not stop him altogether...

"Ascendance!!!"

Star (FF) laughed as the blast came towards him, he held out his hand the everything started to turn gray around him. Time was being frozen all around Star and it was spreading out.

Raiko: "Can you stop it?"

Rhiea: "No, I'm not that powerful!"

The grayness began to spread out towards them faster, and then yellow bolts of energy began to appear all around Star, beams of energy shot out from each and they combined and the grayness suddenly receeded. As it disappeared, the blast that Garro shot decided to suddenly start moving again, crashing right into Star. Hardly a second later a very loud noise was heard over head as an airship swung past them all and turned around, getting closer to the ground.

Rhiea: "Who are they?"


The blast that had hit Star kept going till it crashed into one of the huge crater walls. Star stepped out from the dust and rocks and looked back across the crater.


Lunari: "Hey, hop on, he's going to try to kill you all again!"

Nijote hopped down from the airship and looked at Janus.

Nijote: "We need to stall him for a few minutes, Lunari can teleport us back when we get into trouble."

Lunari: "I can teleport YOU back Nijote, unless your fingers are at least touching, he'll be left behind to deal with that monster."


Star cracked his neck and suddenly lept from the crater's wall, now approaching all of them.


Star(BM) and Dante had continued fighting, making sure to try and keep using elemental attacks, which was wearing them out incredibly fast.

Dante: "Ready to give up yet...?"

Star: "Not quite yet..."

Dante: "What kind of attitude is that? You think you'll eventually have to give up, heh, I already have this won!"

Dante lept again at Star, slamming his great axe down, resulting in an explosion. Star dragged his feet along the ground as he was sent back and started to shoot lightning bolts randomly at where Dante had been.

Janus: "Nijote, don't waste your time here with me... He can't defeat me, no matter how hard he hits me. I'll keep him busy while you all escape. Kalar, Garro, go with them, this is too much for you!"

Kalar: "R-Right! That kind of power... I mean, I can level cities too, but not like---"

Janus: "GO!"

Without another word, Kalar joined Garro, who had already leapt aboard the airship. Janus motioned for Nijote to join them. No matter what happened, he would be able to catch up to them later. Somehow, though, he knew that she wouldn't be too keen on leaving.

He turned to face Star, and put his hammer to his side, ready to strike...


"All of those innocent people... Dead, because of you..."

Janus gritted his teeth angrily. Light blue rays of energy swirled around him as his eyes glowed a similar color. There was genuine fear in his heart now. Fear, not for himself, but for everyone else in the world that stood threatened by this warped, mutant version of one of his few close friends. It had to be stopped, and though Janus could not do it alone, he knew that he could at least help.

The rays expanded into much more than just streaks of light, as the blue burned and blazed about, focusing itself around Janus' figure. The wind blew about, the dust of the crater flew through the air, and Janus stood fast among it all before Star.


"Alright, you bastard... If there's one thing in this world I can't stand, it's excessive amounts of force like that. You may be able to block huge amounts of energy, but I don't need that to stop you!"

He roared as he ran at Star with untrackable speed, leaving an azure afterimage of himself where he once was. Every step in his path formed a small crater in the ground. The craters filled with the force of his steps, and he was propelled further forward by them. As he approached Star, Janus did a short hop in the air to finish his dash. His hammer reared back, he unleashed a flurry of fast blows that swung up, down, across, diagonally, and every which way Janus could muster.

Janus knew most if not all of these blows would be parried, but that was alright. He knew he was outmatched, he knew he couldn't win. He just had to keep Star busy and make sure there was no room for a counterattack. That was all he'd need. Blue light glowed around the end of his hammer for one final supreme strike that came from overhead and promised to deliver one very large crack in the ground if it missed.

Nijote sighed, and did jump on the airship as it took off.

Nijote: "After we start moving I'm jumping back down, Star might try something even Janus would have a hard time living through..."

Nino: "Yeah... its probably smart to help even if he doesn't want it..."


Star hadn't moved one bit, every attack had slammed into him, except on the last one, he tried to defend himself. He swung upwards with his sword, slowing Janus down instantly and stopping his attack before it connected. Star grabbed Janus' arm and started to concentrate a huge amount of time energy into it.

Star: "I remember you..."

Star laughed a little bit, already knowing the best way to take care of this problem.

Star: "Yes... you're the other one lost in time."

More energy began to build into Janus' arm with Star's excessively strong grip.

Star: "And you've tried to kill yourself. You never could, so let me show you how its done!"

Star held on tighter and actually threw Janus' into the air. His sword glowed gray and he lept of the ground towards Janus, just to end up with a knee ramming right into his head and knocking him off course.

Nijote: "I don't care about what you think. You're going to need help just to survive. He has had trillions of years to think, trying to fight up front will only get all of us killed. You're supposed to be at least somewhat smart, so start thinking!"

Nijote landed on the ground as Star landed on the otherside, getting to his feet quickly. He dashed towards Nijote, the gray energy still in his sword. Her left hand basically appeared with a dagger in it and she knocked the blow off course while dodging, but the sword had no more energy on it.

Star: "I know you too..."

Nijote tried to move her hand, but it was stuck in that position, the force of the attack hurting the bone, and time energy paralyzing it to make sure she couldn't use it.


Star: "Seal of Lightning!"

Dante: "Seal of Fire!"

Giant seals appeared beneath them both, each getting hit with the others element, and taking their beating.

Star *thinking* : "He is matching me blow for blow... I'm not sure if I can pull off a victory..."

Dante *thinking* : "This guys tough, really tough, he's like a perfect match... I don't think winning will be easy."

Star and Dante practically shot off the ground, colliding in mid-air, just to shoot each other back.

Star and Dante: "Damnit..."

Janus: "Die! Burnination!!!"

As soon as Star released him, Janus dropped to the ground and landed gracelessly. He stomped his foot into the earth and watched as a rush of Void energy blasted out of the ground around Star. He hoped it'd slow him down enough for Nijote to unleash a few good hits. As a quick followup, Janus doublecasted and pointed at Nijote's arm, neutralizing the Time energy with a quick shot of his own and enabling her arm to move again. If there was any good time to strike, it'd be now...

Nijote rushed forward, hoping to actually get Star with something good this time.

Nijote: "Evisceration!"

Nijote ran into the darkness of energy that was left and a sickening sound was heard. Almost as if someone had just gotten ripped to shreads with a very sharp object. Nijote walked from the other side of the energy, her face incredibly pale and she was stagging, making her look incredibly weak for once. Star began to laugh as lightning started to strike around where the void energy was, then a huge bolt struck right in the middle and lit everything up.

Nijote: "Its... not... possible... How could he...?"

It was painfully appearent Nijote was bleeding all down her right side, blood trailing behind her. Star looked critically wounded, with both of Nijote's daggers sticking deep into him, many other holds all across his chest and stomach. He laughed again and turned to Janus.

Star: "How pathetic. The only person capable of actually making me bleed is about to die. Nothing can stop me now Janus! I will kill my old self and bring myself freedom!"

Star started to walk towards Janus, obviously hurt as he was slower than normal, but storm clouds were practically circling around him while he walked towards Jauns, lightning building up, getting ready to strike.
