I'm not sure if this was the longest piece wordcount wise (that was part 2, actually), but it was by far the one that took longest to post out of any Finale piece, thanks in part to my father's passing away from cancer. (See more on the main page for that.)

It's all written by me, however. Bear that in mind as you read it.

 
Sebastian Dash struggled against an unnatural, creeping sensation of cold. It felt less like physical cold- like being stranded on the Big Mountains- and more like death's claws digging into Dash's shoulders. Infecting him. Pulling him into its icy domain.

The real threat floated in front of Dash- something from the darkest nightmares of the toughest warriors. It defied description. Defied logic. It moved in ways that shouldn't be physically possible.

Dash used his sword to steady himself on one knee, still gasping to get two full lungs of air. "Stop the thing.. before it ... summons something worse."

Zed was awestruck. "How in a siren's call do you fight a creature that doesn't even obey the rules of reality?"

Zed was answered by a growl from behind him. "By fighting like something unreal." As Catrina spoke she stepped forward, blades in claws, eyes burning and locked on the demon, tail swishing like… well like a royally pissed off kitty! "You! In your name my friends that have been hurt, and my mate and son who have…" She closed her heart to that thought. "You will PAY!" She then roared and leapt straight for the beast, drawing her blades with a flash like the lightning itself. Several human-sized shields materialized to stop her. The creature roared, slamming a shadowy tentacle into the walls, ripping out large hunks of stone and hurling those at its enemies.

While Catrina and Dash took the fight to the unspeakable horror, the others tried to position themselves for maximum advantage, hoping to catch the creature unaware. The creature had a pair of glowing embers in the place of eyes. Dash wondered if that was how it saw or if it was capable of sight at all.

Having dodged the onslaught of debris, Zed and the others launched a wave of counterattacks. Zed sliced at the abomination with his spear while Vixen did likewise with her blade. No effect. Having recovered from the beast's earlier attack, Sylenia switched from using a sonic blast against the creature to projectiles. She wasn't sure which had more effect on the creature or if either attack had any effect at all.

It howled when Fahari sliced it, her claws still glowing with holy energy. "Try fire magic!" Vixen yelled to Runic and Lapine. They looked at each other, shrugged, and hurled fireballs at the beast, having a bit more effect than their other magics.

The beast spit out cannon sized globs of darkness. Bandit avoided one and glanced back to see it slam into the wall, leaving a large dent. Dash avoided a swipe of a newly formed limb, just barely. That thing's fast, Dash noted. And powerful.

They needed to end this fast. With every passing second, the odds increased of the castle coming down like a house of cheap cards.

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

For a moment, it seemed to Fluffy like the odds were in favor. Prince Blahking had earlier put together an 'Elite seven' of his own, consisting of not only the Prince and Hamster, but also King Mtiger, Grillhamo, Amras, Shamus X-treme and Raw Hide. A “full house,” in poker terms. They were to oppose the Elite 8 just outside of Degrassi Knoll.

The masked animalistic Daisuke. The deceptive and treacherous Jester King of Beasts. The commander of plantlife Snow White. The masters of blinding speed the Muri-Dan Trinity. The insanely well armed Black Paladin. The czar of time control Slit. The talented and dangerous Blake Cutler. And Bones, the traitorous necromancer.

Backup had just arrived on both sides.. Bones managed to summon hordes of undead along with the Bosses of Hey Daze - I the Mouse, the Queen of Hate, Dr. Darth and Hunk. Fortunately, heroes arrived on Fluffy's side as well.. far, far too many to count, by the looks of things.

The heroes tried to prepare. Those best suited for reckless offense, such as Raw Hide, Cattaras and the redeemed paladin jumped to the front rows of battle, while Fluffy, Becky and the archetypical red mage prepared spells to attack from the distance. Behind the mages, Smaus XTreme, Glyn, Jen, and the explosion expert prepared to join the ranged assault.

It didn't matter. Before the heroes could position themselves properly, the oversized raging monster known as Hunk plowed into the heroes, sending the melee heroes flying before attacking the ill prepared mages. Prince Blahking and the monkey tailed hero surrounded the handsome and oversized Hunk, nailing him with a combination of magic, martial arts and dagger attacks.

Dr. Darth quickly nailed Blahking with a dark matter blast from behind. The thief with the monkey tail avoided several blasts from Darth but fell to a wave of hot sauce from I the Mouse and his dreaded Adventurer suit. Even with the advanced processing power, Glyn's outfit struggled to come up with a strategy. No time for thinking, then, just dive right in. Which Glyn and fellow Morlencir Jen did, joining the old school mage in attacking Hunk from a distance. Hunk slammed his fists into the ground, sending massive shockwaves. Some of our heroes, such as the monkey-tailed thief, the ninja-like Amras and the space elves, had the agility to avoid the shockwaves and pressed their attack, although others (like Jarlsboris Wildfall, Shamus, Sassy Snake, the older explosions expert and the gun-armed protagonist's assistant) were thrown off their feet by the ground shattering up around them.

King MTiger struggled to keep his balance. Dr. Darth blasted him off his feet and soon stood over the fallen king. MTiger attempted to swiftly take to his feet, but a kick of bearlike strength sent him sprawling to the grounds formerly behind him. Dr. Darth raised a glowing gauntlet, smiling as sinister as a Cheshire wolf over a defenseless kitten. A blundarrrbus bullet struck Darth in the chest. He looked over, irritated, to see Inu the comma chameleon holding a bundarrbus several times her size. Darth advanced even as Inu took several more shots at him, nailing him in the stomach, face, shoulder, and other parts without much success. Most of her shots missed. Realizing Darth was too close to fire again, she tossed it up in the air, unhinged her jaw, and swallowed the cutting edge shotgun whole, quickly transforming herself into a spooky pirate skeleton!

She hadn't been able to maintain her 'hero time' transformation but this would do in a pinch.

Although Inu was ready for a fight, most of the heroes had been scattered and downed by the Elite 8 and the demonic managers of Hey Daze. Slit time-jumped over to Cattaras, holding a knife to the catman's throat, savoring the moment. The Dark Paladin grabbed Grillhamo's throat in one hand and Amras's in the other, holding both high in the air by their respective throats, choking the life out of each. As Jester King danced in the background, Snow White commanded her vines to tie up the remaining heroes, hoping to strangle and poison them.

The first mistake was Slit's - underestimating Cattaras's ability to move at incredible speeds of his own. Maybe if Slit hadn't been distracted, he could have handled what happened next. Cattaras was suddenly behind Slit, throwing him to the ground with body shaking force.

Todd didn't bother to get to his feet. He didn't have to be on his feet in order to send a powerful death solo musical attack at the Black Paladin. Wildfall quickly scampered to his feet, slamming his solid oak shillelagh into Paladin's back. It had no effect. The large black brute with the gunarm pushed Wildfall to the side and opened up with that gunarm, causing the Paladin to drop his would-be victims and stagger forward from the barrage.

Space elves Glyn and Jen lead the fight against Snow White's vines, with their suits providing lasers, flame attacks, blades and whatever it took to cut the vines' grip on the heroes. The old school mage, who'd managed to avoid the vines, joined in with his magical elemental attacks.

Dr. Darth seemed to snarl even through his expressionless mask. "You DARE challenge the unrelenting power of Dr. Darth, master of all things both arcane and technological?!"

"Yeah, yeah," Inu taunted. "Nice villain bluster. If you're talking to a kindergartener, that is."

"What care I for your gardener of kinder?" Dr. Darth asked before firing an energy bolt from his armored gauntlet. Inu dodged it easily.

"Yeah, yeah, garden of kinder, really cute," Inu quipped as she slashed at him with a piratelike bonesword. It didn't have much effect on Darth's mystically and technologically enhanced armor.

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

The heroes actively battled Kadlin's newly summoned demon. Several had hearing acute enough to sense the tower being strained under the demon's assault. Dash sourly noted the holes in the wall were already over a fifth the size of the wall itself.

The demon continued to lash out randomly, without thought or pattern. Considering the chaotic nature of its very existence, this wasn't very surprising. Dash's broadsword Bad Beats soundlessly bounced off the creature's shimmering body. The creature stood on its hind legs, its head smashing into the overhead ceiling. It showed no ill effect even though the force was enough to knock a chunk of ceiling free. The thing must have been a good fifteen feet tall, Dash surmised. The beast swung its tail wildly. Vixen and Lapine pulled Bandit out of the way. Catrina and Sliver superspeeded their way out of harm's way while Fumblies stumbled back just in time to avoid being smashed by the demon's tail.

"Hounds of the deadlands!" Zed Shinestone cursed. "Just pulling my spear out of that thing hurts! No blood either. Not even a drop."

Catrina growled. "You think that's bad? Try scratching it with your claws! It's like biting into raw electricity. And actually biting it is even worse."

Zed started to ask, "Why would you...?"

But Catrina cut him off. "It had me against the wall after knocking my katana out of my hand. Both of them. So I bit and scratched."

"Bet that wasn't pleasant..." Vixen dryly noted.

Catrina started to answer, only to be cut off by a loud moaning from the tower walls. The beast formed a second head which looked at the ceiling before vanishing. Like smoke, the beast poured through the gaping wound in the tower's wall and away from the tower.

"This tower's about to collapse!" Catrina yelled. "We need to get out. Now!"

Dash turned. "Door's still sealed by dark energies."

"That's alright," Sylenia announced, using her suit to amplify her voice. "I've got a ride coming."

Indeed, the Morlencir drop shop sped from the skies outside the tower, positioning itself within easy jumping range. A bridge extended from the opening. Pieces of the tower continued to fall around the heroes and would-be heroes.

"Move!" Dash ordered, dodging a large dislodged chunk of ceiling. No one hesitated, with Catrina and Sliver using their enhanced speed to help the others as Runic and Lapine provided magical support, blasting chunks of the roof as they fall and providing shield as needed.

Dash and Sylenia were the last two to jump from the gap to the ship after making sure everyone else had gotten out. The entry to the ship sealed itself by the time Dash and Slyenia landed on the floor. The interior of the ship automatically shifted, trying to accommodate the sudden increase in passengers.

As the others adjusted to the ship, Catrina spoke on the matter at hand. "We need to track down that demon- or whatever the hell it is. As in, 'NOW!'"

Vixen sighed. "Yeah.. but we still have no idea how to defeat it..."

"The first priority will be tracking it," explained Sylenia.

"I can't get a lock on the creature," Tarvel said. Before more could be said, the ship shuddered and leered to the side, throwing several of its occupants off their feet. "We're under attack!"

Taking control, Sylena quickly tapped into the system for information. "Systems are starting to crash. What's going on?"

"It's like.. this can't be right." Raven paused, trying to validate the ship's information. The ship shook again, worse this time.

Vixen leapt over a loose chair speeding towards her. Behind her, the chair was absorbed back into the ship's side. "Spit it out already!"

"It looks like we were hacked," Raven answered hesitantly. "That shouldn't be possible, but it almost looks like someone left encrypted data in the ship. And activated it re-"

That's all Raven got out before being drowned out by the deafening sound of a ship being ripped apart.

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

The comma chameleon warrior Inu continued to hack at Dr. Darth, switching to spooky pirate form. Her pirate's sword, part of her transformation, had little effect on Darth's armor, which in his days of living, had allowed him to charge into even the toughest of armies and emerge unscathed. His defense wasn't Inu's only problem. She had to use her now-pirate-like reflexes to avoid several magic bolts.

"You dare to continue to assault the almighty Dr. Darth?!" the armor suited madman screamed. Though his eyes were hidden behind the mask, it wasn't hard to imagine they were nearly bulging out of his head.

Good, Inu thought to himself. Maybe I can use this somehow. Upset him, make him make a mistake, screw up, somehow, I'm not quite sure how, and maybe, through sheer something or another, his armor will.. get weak enough to dent? Urgh, I'm so screwed.

If that wasn't bad enough.. well, it more than was, Darth's onslaught was forcing her to burn through her transformations faster than she ever had, ever, before! This was like, totally bad, so to speak, ya know?

She parried and fought back for a few minutes. Darth's onslaught was frightening. It wasn’t as terrifying as a familiar tingle she'd felt dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands, but probably just hundreds, of times before.

She would lose her pirate form any second and find herself, again, helpless! She jumped out of the way of another blast from Darth and pulled the bag in front of her. Before she could even reach, blindly, into the bag, she found it ripped from her hands and, after that, thrown to the side by Dr. Darth!

He stood over her, boasting. "Ahh, yes, I've been anxious to see the 'real' you. Dr. Darth shall relish in the look of authentic terror on your face as I rip your skin from your bones!"

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

Moments ago, Snow White smirked, ready to finish the half dozen or so heroes she'd managed to target with a seemingly reckless assault of the plants which she controlled. Half a dozen of those pitiable fools! She looked them over, not really recognizing any of them. Well, she recognized Becky Joy, who had encased a thick bubble of ice around herself and the ninja prince. No matter. Snow White had the ice bubble wrapped in her thickest vines. She took a second to enjoy the irony in crushing a nearly literal snow white bubble before turning her attention to the scrawny one in the old school red mage robes. The vines had trapped him. Unfortunately, these were the vines with no poison. But he would die from strangulation as well as anything.

Then there were the last two, encased in a thick plant that looked like a giant combination of a Venus fly trap and a vicious snake. That one concerned her slightly. The plant was giving off vibes indicating the last two were putting up quite the fight.

Snow White turned to tighten the creature's grip on the two victims. Before they could, the monkey-tailed hero and the king's familiar burst through and attacked her!

She summoned a series of vines to snap at the intruders. The king's familiar (the clockwork plexiglass ninja pirate zombie robot) sliced through the vines with a metallic forearm. She summoned a tree. The monkey-tailed thief swung around it and knocked her out cold.

Two sets of maniacal laughter cut them off. The Jester King of Beasts turned to his attack dance partner. "I like the laugh, queenie."

The Queen of Hate failed to acknowledge the compliment, instead commanding, "Begin the beheading of these hapless fools!"

Her cards of Hate and Jester King's summoned beasts charged at the recovering heroes.

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

A mysterious figure, clad in absolute mind dulling darkness, the kind that absorbed light, watched with a hideous smile as the heroes jumped from the crumbling tower into the strange floating ship.

The power of the very dark ones flowing through his long dead veins. His thoughts seemed to be the very essence of pure evil. His nails were long and his hair unkempt.

"Well, we can't let them using their stupid little space ship to mess up everything, can we?" the figure said to itself. The ship was already under fire from below. Several of the enemy groups wished to either possess its alien technology for themselves or to simply destroy it. Of course, the ship was equipped for interstellar travel, often through potentially hostile regions of space. It would withstand an assault from the comparatively primitive forces of Honorburg or Adrule. Even the magic attacks, in spite of the Morlencir's relative weakness to this world's chaotic magic, were repelled by the ship's natural defense.

He lit a cigarette and then shot a large fireball, hoping to kill a bunch of Knob Girlscouts who'd set up camp around the battle to sell cookies to the winners. They all moved out of the way. "BS!" the figure screamed. It then turned into a massive dark sword and flung itself into the Morlencir ship.

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

Jen and Glyn stood back to back, surrounded by the three Muri Dan rats who'd cut them off from the rest of the larger battle. The talented and deadly Blake Cutler held a long hunting knife in one hand and three separate throwing knives by their tips in the other. Normally a thug, even one of Blake's exceptional skills, would be handled easily by anyone in a Morlencir outfit without much effort. The problem was the other three guarding him- and their blinding speed.

Even the advanced otherworldly suits could only do so much in countering it.

"Hey Mortimer," Jerome called out, ratlike tongue flickering between his open lips. "Do we got time to play with these pretty boy elves? Just a bit?"

"Stewart wants to break elves in halves!" Stewart yelled, showing off his rotten yellow teeth in a sinister smile.

"Maybe a few seconds," Mortimer decided, still favoring his injured arm. "Then we gotta finish off their allies."

"You haven't defeated us yet!" Glyn said confidently as his suit constantly analyzed the four opponents in an attempt to predict their next action. "Or did you forget our last encounter, mister one armed rat person?"

"I ain't forgotten nothin!" Mortimer rushed forward and blasted Glyn with a series of open fist strikes, nailing Glyn with several dozen in the first tenth of a second. Reacting with cysuit-aided speed, Jen responded with a powerful sonic, blasting Mortimer out of range.

Jerome laughed at his leader’s misfortune and then rushed in, grabbing Jen from behind, his claws digging into her head. He turned and flipped her, throwing her over his back at that same reckless speed. He was unsurprised, though impressed, to see her land on her feet. Blake sliced at Jen from behind. Her suit sensed it. She dodged the clumsy attack easily.

She turned to face him. "You've got to be kidding."

Blake's eyes narrowed like a samurai. "Oh, I'm just getting started, pointy ears."

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

Fluffy shook the proverbial cobwebs out of his ears and rolled off his back and onto his four tiny feet. He immediately had to roll to the side to avoid being smashed by a gigantic skeleton foot.

"Alright, who's the wise guy?!" he asked as he sneezed out a small fireball to get the thing's attention.. Then Fluffy looked up to see the giant skeleton foot was attached to, well, a giant skeleton which turned towards the source of the attack.. "Eep! Sorry I asked."

"Oh, you might not be sorry now," Bones said, summoning up a second skeleton- this time a more normal sized one. "But I suspect you will be and very shortly at that."

"That so, bright eyes?" Fluffy blasted the skeleton with lightning, jumped off its oversized skeleton foot, and tried to do the same thing to Bones. The smaller skeleton jumped in the way of the lightning bolt however.

"You'll never get to me that easy," Bones said, summoning a whole horde of skeletons to close around Fluffy. "Not when you're surrounded."

"Ya know the problem with skeletons, Doc?" Fluffy said, standing on his hind legs, ready to throw out another magic attack.

"Whatever is that?" Bones asked, confident the magic little golden hamster would be taken care of easily by his orders of skeletons.

"They're hollow. All bones, nothing else." With that, Fluffy skittered up the bone legs of the closest skeleton, hopped through the spaces between the rib cages and spine, jumped on Bones's face and viciously shocked the Knob Goblin necromancer with lightning, taking him out of the fight but leaving Fluffy totally spent.

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

Cattaras took the briefest second to try to focus, hoping to take Slit by surprise. Unfortunately for him, Slit wasn't inclined to give him even a fraction of a millisecond to think. Cattaras found himself thrown back by the force of dozens of punches in the shortest of timespans.

"Fell for that before," Slit said. "Not again."

Cattaras growled, throwing up his arms in an attempt to protect himself. It barely helped. Luckily, Catt was a tough cat. He could take his share of abuse while he figured something out.

Master Sliver had not only trained Cattaras to move but to deal with opponents quicker than himself. Besides, the fate of the world rested with the heroes. It could very well come down to Cattaras himself on whom the world's future rested. He couldn't die to these scum.

Cattaras listened. He ignored the pain to feel the blows and focused. The rhythm. The timing. The speed.

He fell to one knee. Yet Slit was becoming impatient and in that impatience, reckless. Without the need to think, Cattaras reacted to that information, slashing out with his claws.

it paid off

Cattaras's powerful slash caught Slit coming in. The force of the blow was amplified by the speed of the incoming thyme mage. With his focus and confidence shattered, he was easy pray for Cattaras to nail him repeatedly. Unfortunately, survival kicked in. Before Cattaras could connect for the forty third time in the first millisecond, he saw Slit vanishing into the distance.

Cattaras turned, wanting a few seconds to recover. That's when he noticed Becky was in trouble.

Unfortunately, he would find trouble of his own before he could help.

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

Meanwhile, in what was obviously the coolest and most epic fight in the history of AIL, Shamas XTreme cowered in front of a mouse.

Yeah there, I said it. EPIC! And not italic epic either. Full on bold epic.

I the Mouse stood to his full height in his Adventurer suit- a towering, impressive 5'5 in heels. (I don't know why he was in heels or why I neglected to mention that before.) "Stand, mortal, so that I may make you kneel! Kneel before the mighty I the Mouse! Ruler of all!"

Shamus tried to shake the dizziness out of his eyes. "Man, did anyone ever tell you you're a talking mouse?"

I the Mouse shook his head, conceding the point. "Impressive banter."

"Thanks, I try. Not very hard, of course."

"Oh of course not. And now," I the Mouse continued without pause, "I kill you."

"Wait, WAIT!" Shamus yelled. Too late though, as the mouse's adventure suit, armed with the abilities of all of the archetypes of loathing, opened up with simultaneous magical attacks - a blast of scorching hot sauce and a barrage of spaghetti spears. This deliciously deadly attack forced Shamus to abandon his attempts to stop the fight verbally. Shamus dove to the side so he could properly run and cower.

Shamus rolled to his feet and aimed his crossbow at the Mouse in his Adventurer sided Adventurer suit. "Take that, you diseased ridden demon!"

"If you insist," I the Mouse said. He then used his suit's pocketpicking skills to steal Shamus's crossbolt.

"Hey!" Shamus protested. "You took that!"

I the Mouse chuckled and then hit Shamus over the head with a seal clubbin' club.

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

Late for school? No.. she graduated years ago.

Late for work? Well, maybe but her job didn't really keep strict hours.

I can't be late for sleeping, cause I'm already asleep! Becky Joy thought to herself. She jerked her eyes open and saw a hazy and yet handsome figure standing before her holding something. Room service? Flower delivery.. oh! Becky's eyes got wide. Wait a second.. he was holding a giant rock over his head and also, he was that Hey Daze demon Hunk! Also, he was scowling.

Giant rock delivery!

Hunk hurled a rock four times the size of Becky Joy at her. Still dazed, she reached out to grab it.

Fortunately, a figure pulled her to the side, preventing her sure death. "Hey, ice mage girl, you alright there?"

The explosions expert noticed a glassed over look in her eyes as she muttered something about homework and being a deputy "for realz," so he just told her to sit there and "keep outta the way."

Becky muttered something about tummyaches and headaches. Her rescuer leaped into action, expertly throwing two small explosive sticks at the brutish Hunk, who swatted them away easily. They violently exploded a few feet away.

The explosions expert dove forward, rolling, and came to a stand several feet in front of the demon Hunk, who, even hunched over, towered over the expert. Cid was non plussed. "Boy, you need to back your ass off before you get hurt."

"Hurt Hunk?!" Hunk laughed uproariously. "Hunk propose question."

Hunk advanced on Cid, who threw several grenades and a stick of dynamite at the monster. The stick went into Hunk's oversized mouth and half way down his throat before exploding. It hardly had an effect on the monster. The other explosions, none at all.

Cid turned to run but Hunk proved faster than anticipated. Another second and Hunk had Cid's body in his massive hand, squeezing with the power of a fullgrown bugbar. Hunk smiled sadistically as he asked, "You and what army?!"

Hunk got his answer in three near-simultaneous attacks. Raw Hide slammed full force into Hunk, shoulder first, at the same time the protagonist's oversized sword came crashing down across the broad back of the demonbeast. That was enough to cause Hunk to drop the explosions expert.

A split second later, twin bursts of flame caught Hunk, sending him backwards, courtesy of Jay and his backpack demon Lou. Becky blinked, watching it all as her mind started to clear.

"HUNK NOT DONE YET!!' Hunk roared.

"I was hoping you'd say that," Lou said with a sadistic smile. Lou jumped on Hunk's face, causing him to stumble blindly as Raw Hide, Jay and the protagonist started attacking him with wild abandon. After about a minute, Becky and the explosions expert (wielding a shortblade) jumped in on the action. After about four minutes, Hunk collapsed.

"Hunk.. done now.." he muttered.

"Too bad, we're not!" Jay said as he and Lou blasted Hunk with more flame attacks, setting Hunk's butt on fire. Hunk jumped up and ran off, screaming for mercy as the Lou and Jay gave chase.

A few moments later, Shamus looked up, surprised to find I the Mouse was no longer attacking him. Shamus opened his eyes cautiously, wondering why.. and what hellacious beating I the Mouse had planned for Shamus next.

Instead, he saw Raw Hide viciously beating I the Mouse into surrender.. Ahh.. that wasn't so bad... for Shamus.

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

Earlier in the fight

After several seconds under a sustained assault by the redeemed paladin (and soon after, Wildfall, the just recovered Sassy Snake, and the redeemed paladin's gun-armed sidekick), Dr. Darth was forced to release his grip on Inu and sling the comma chameleon to the side.

Wildfall's assault was simple, using his wooden shillelagh (pure solid oak) to annoy Darth and avoiding his energy blast attacks. Wildfall then dodged to the side as the sidekick opened up with a fresh round of ammo.

"Back, unworthy commoners!" Darth's anger towards the impudence manifested as he attempted to slam his shield into the attackers. It failed to hit all but the sidekick and drained Darth of much of his power.

With a frustrated sigh, Darth turned his attention to gathering his allies as the fight raged on. Some minutes later, a demonic teleport whisked Darth and the other managers away from the battlefield. Only his ominous words hung in the air.

"This fight is yours, so called 'heroes.’ But mark the words of Dr. Darth! Your world will soon be broken. It will soon fall under new management.. that of the omnipotent Dr. Darth! HAAHAAAHAAAHAAA! Get it? Nevermind."

With the managers removed from battle, the battle was soon ended decisively. Becky quickly started searching for the missing Cattaras as the others ended the battle.

Next up in part IV.. Kadlin verses Konall!!!

I don't even know how to comment on the piece, which I am VERY proud of, past "epic."

The next piece is the shortest, word count, but easily the most important part of the Finale.
