"So, this is supposed to be the Parselon?" Flake asks
"Yeah, a beauty, ain't it?" Juul laughs
"Seen better, we all ready?" Yami asks
"I..think so" Metal answers
"Why don't we wait around, until 11, that'd be good, have everyone there, and I mean everyone" Juul chuckles
"Great idea, that rooftop looks good" Yami points at a building beside the Parselon
"Well, the gods should go, we do not need to raise suspicion" Athena explains
"Good idea, we'll see you guys later, make sure to leave a beer for me" Kyron waves
"There you go, not so uptight, are you?" Mar puts his arm around Kyron
"Let's get up there, then go back over the plan" Yami starts walking
"Goodbye" Posiden leaves with Athena
"I'll make sure we get Ultimas' boys all together" Hades winks
"Shouldn't you be going too?" Metal asks Lite
"Yeah, you're right, can you promise me something?" Lite asks
"Depends" Metal answers
"...Don't die" Lite orders
"This time, I promise" Metal laughs a bit
Lite smiles, going after the 3 god bots
"Hey, how are we getting up there, anyway?" Carry asks
"Have you guys ever tried rock climbing?" Yami questions
"Flake, hop on my back, cool?" Metal asks
"I can climb" Flake answers
"Since when?" Metal asks
"I can climb" Flake repeats
Metal sighs
Zeus picks up Carry and Clara
"Shall we, ladies?" He grins
Carry and Clara look at each other, thinking they're thinking the same thought
"Then I'll help you two" Prometheus picks up Jason and Mar
The two shrug
Fifteen burps
"Hey, Alex, you can ride Fifteen" Yami suggests
"Can I?" Alex asks
"It's not hard, just sit on her back" Yami explains
"Oh, uh, easy girl" Alex slowly sits on Fifteen
"Is it safe? You fell off of it" Lexia asks
"Because a vulture the size of a plane blindsided me, yeah" Yami adds
"But-" Lexia starts
"UP, UP" Yami slaps Fifteen on its bootay
Fifteen flies off
"WOOOOO" Alex shouts, soaring up the building
"ALEX" Lexia runs up the side of the building
"GUESS WE'RE GOING TOO" Prometheus shouts, going up the side of the building
"WAIT, GUYS, LOOK" Juul shouts, pointing at a helicopter quickly approaching
Yami turns around, staring
"Oh sh!t, OH SH!T, FIND COV-" Alayna starts yelling
A rocket soars right toward the group
Metal jumps toward it, opening his fists
"METAL" Flake yells
Metal grabs the rocket, with all his strength and his might, he manages to divert it away, but not close to the helicopter
"They're in trouble, WE GOTTA GO" Yami runs to the Parselon
"RIGHT" Kyron runs after her
Gunshots sound off, bullets blasting everywhere
"WHAT DO WE DO NOW?" Metal shouts
"WE GO WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAN, IT'S JUST HARDER" Yami answers
"That's what she said" Putty chuckles
The shy girl from before runs toward the group
"These-these guys got-brought out g-guns and started-shh-shooting everyone, the ones with pain-paint on their face" Turtle quickly explains
"Thanks, what was your name again?" Yami asks
"........T-T-Turtle" She answers
"Turtle, do you know where the other gods are?" Yami asks
"Uhm...The b-bar, uh....F-Fountain, and the dance-dance floor" Turtle answers
"Thanks, get to safety, alright?" Yami asks
Turtle slowly nods
"Cock your guns, we're having a massacre tonight" Yami pulls out her claws
"Meh, 7 out of 10" Alayna grins
"GET THE F#CK AWAY" Lite screams in the distance
"LITE" Metal runs after the screaming
Flake spins a knife, holding it downwards
Zeus drops Carry and Clara, running to see where Athena is
"We'll gather them up, just get ready, alright?" Juul looks at Yami
"...Good" Yami nods
"OH F#CK YEAH, I HAVEN'T HAD THIS MUCH FUN SINCE I WAS A KID" Hades yells, slashing his way through the army of troops
"ROUND UP THE CATTLE" Selina yells, shoving troops into eachother
Chala defends RIft and Aqua, blasting away Ultimas' goons
"ALRIGHT, BOYS AND GIRLS, TO ALL THE TOUGH MOTHERF#CKERS STILL ALIVE, GATHER ALL THE GUYS IN THE MIDDLE, JUST TRUST YOUR OLD BUDDY" Rift yells
"IT'S TIME FOR THE FIREWORKS SHOOOOOOWWWW" Burn yells, holding a peculiar-looking gun
She quickly cranks the handle on its side
The gun shoots out fireworks, blowing crap up all around
Rei and Kalis burst out of the bar
"WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO, I SEE THE TRUUUUUUUUTH" Kalis screams, her pupils shaking rapidly
"OHHHHH, SH!T" Rei picks up a metal pipe, they can't tell if they're drunk or high
"WELL, WELL, LOOK AT THIS SH!T, THE BEST BATTLE I'VE SEEN IN YEARS, RIFT, YA THINK WE SHOULD JOIN IT?" Aqua asks
"BE SAD IF WE DIDN'T" Rift gets out of his chair, spinning around two guns
Aqua throws her hood over her head, unsheathing two daggers
"DON'T DIE" Chala shouts, clubbing away Ultimas' people
Posiden swings his spears, knocking them away
Putty shoots off his armageddon of a gun
Yami starts getting to higher ground
"Wow..." Alayna stares at the battlefield
"What...is it?" Yami struggles
"Look at it all, sometimes I realize how good people can be" Alayna laughs a bit
Yami says nothing, scaling up to the tallest wall of the Parselon
"Did I say something wrong?" Alayna asks
"No, of course not, I've just kinda...been thinking more lately, I'll tell you about it when we aren't spitting in death's face" Yami finally reaches the top
"Good idea, you're opening up more, at least, maybe I went too hard on you" Alayna shakes her head
"For all the time I was up there, you stayed in my head for every second, I'd be brushing my teeth, and you were there, you told me to be cold to the world, so I f#cking was, all it took though, was reminiscing on life" Yami lets out a faint laugh
"...I'm sorry" Alayna looks away
"They're ready, time for my part" Yami stares at the surrounded attackers
Back-to-back, the goons stand in a packed circle
"Oh, just look at us, I guess anything bad enough can bring a community together" Prometheus jokes
"WE'RE GONNA KILL YOU" One of Hades' boys yell
"YOU VILE WENCHES, YOU WILL REGRET COMiNG HERE" A civilian from the sea clan yells
"Face the wrath of a community working together, ONE THAT WILL KILL FOR THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS' A sky clan member yells
"Wanna say anything cringy before you drop down there and do something bada$$?" Alayna laughs
"Thought about it, not really, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Yami falls off the pillar
She drops, the wind trying to force her back
Blue lightning starts to flicker around Yami
She points at the center of the crowd with a finger gun
Then...BAM
A portal engulfs Ultimas' goons, barely managing to not friendly-fire anyone
Their screams are heard from the devilish dimension they were sent to
Yami quickly closes the portal, approaching the ground fast
Yami gets 3 feet away from the ground...but she gets sent through another portal
She stumbles out, from flying through the air to suddenly walking on the ground
The crowd stares at her
Everyone starts cheering for everyone
"HOLY SH!T, WE DID IT, OH MY GOOD GOD" Flake drops to her knees
Yami smiles, looking at the cheery crowd, hugging their loved ones, joy overflowing from them
"How're we doing on time?" Yami puts her hands on her knees, asking Juul
"We got...20 minutes, better wrap this up quick" Juul suggests
"Hey, Athena, can you make a speech, hype everyone up, tell them to buckle their a$$es because we're not done?" Yami asks, walking to her
"I don't believe I should be the one doing it" Athena smiles
"...Alright, Posiden, can you?" Yami asks
"I agree with Athena" Posiden answers
"You know what, hey Zeus, you down to do it?" Yami asks
"Me?" Zeus asks
"Yeah, kinda symbolic, you know?" Yami asks
"I suppose you have a point..." Zeus strokes his beard
"Father, you deserve it, I am relinquishing my position" Athena bows
"You know...Athena, you should keep your leadership" Hades suggests
'Why? Father deserves it" Athena looks confused
"Alright, I've got an idea, okay?" Yami asks
"Yes, input would be helpful here" Posiden stares at Yami
"Screw your morals, they were dumb, Zeus should be the ruler, you guys would still have your jurisdictions and all that complicated stuff, but Zeus would rule over you guys as the absolute leader, but not here, we can all go to this place, Bargain, and you can all settle there, of course, you'd need to be afraid of death, but it'd be great to actually remember what happened yesterday without writing it down" Yami explains
"I like that idea" Hades points at her
"But we would be heretics" Posiden shakes his head
"Would we?" Athena asks
"Yes, we would" Posiden nods
"If we didn't believe in having 3 distinct divisions, then would that go against our morals if we do not believe it?" Athena asks
"That-It...it would not" Posiden stares
"You would truly let me rule all of you?" Zeus asks
"Yeah, you're the most responsible of us.....well, I guess second most" Hades laughs
"He is at least 3 leagues above you" Posiden chuckles
"You're a close 3rd then" Prometheus smiles
"So, bro, you gonna give a speech or not?" Hades asks
"...I will, thank you all for being my family" Zeus smiles
"Awww, this is adorable, 12 more minutes" Juul chimes in
Zeus flies up to where Yami was
He clears his throat
"PEOPLE OF THE LOOP, THIS BATTLE HAS MARKED A NEW BEGINNING FOR OUR PEOPLE, YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHY I, A HERETIC, AM SPEAKING TO YOU ALL, I WILL TELL YOU, I WILL BE THE RULER OF THE LOOP, WE WILL ABANDON OUR OLD TESTAMENT AND CREATE A NEW ONE, ONE THAT IS PHENOMENAL, ONE THAT WILL DRIVE US TOGETHER INSTEAD OF APART, WE WILL BE CHANGING LOCATIONS, IT IS ALL SO MUCH TO TAKE IN, BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL DO IT, I OWE IT TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED, EVERYONE, ARE YOU READY TO START A NEW BEGINNING?" Zeus preaches
Yami creates another portal
"ZEUS, ZEUS, ZEUS" The crowd starts chanting
"Let's go everyone, before the day repeats" Yami walks through the portal
One by one, they all rush through the portal
When they arrive back on the old planet, the beach is the first thing they step on
"Holy sh!t" Cipher stares at the humongous crowd of people
"HEY, UH, MATT? MIND COMING OUT HERE?" He asks
"Cipher, what is it n-" Matteo walks to Cipher's side
Then stares at the people filling the beach
"Yami actually managed to get them" Matt is very surprised
"Hey, uh, Matt, this is Zeus, I was wondering, just a tiny favor-" Yami starts to say
"There is a spare base, the place is overrun with more of Ultimas' people, but I think that your legion can overtake them all and gain the base for yourselves" Matteo interrupts
"Oh, that's actually perfect" Yami raises her eyebrows
"Matt, I see? An interesting name...I wanted to ask if you would allow me to run this new base" Zeus asks
"What should I say?" Matt asks Yami
"Yeah, he's cool, a sorta functional adult" Yami answers
"...I see, the base is close to Golliath, continue to follow the road from here, but take the first left you see and continue forward, then the 3rd right, continue on and you should be at base "Legend"" Matteo directs
"Is it possible to rename it Olympus?" Zeus asks
"I...okay, but remember, you are still under my control, it is the Collide's base" Matteo answers
"Collide?" Yami asks
"Yes, that is the name of our people, of course, it hasn't been spoken of much, mainly because of how hard times had been" Matteo explains
"Yes sir, I will inform everyone" Zeus walks back to his group
Yami motions for her group to come
