War of the Multiverse

The bird's wings ended up being shot, though only feathers fell. Noel could see red splotches on the wings for a brief moment before they regrew. With a flap of its wings, the bird threw its feathers towards Noel like they were throwing knives. However, Morgan ran in and took out a green book.

"ELWIND!" With that and the Vortex, the winds wound up throwing the bird off course. The sharpness of both winds wound up cutting into the bird, giving it the same red gashes. The feathers were blown apart, but now each person had to dodge a feather thrown at them.

The Tavern
"Oooooh maaaan, yeah, I can hook you up, brother..." Charles got up to Edward. He pointed him into the direction of his shop, the Wagon Station. "Name a world approved by the Scheherazade Foundation, and this wagon can take you there!" He said. Suddenly, the bartender, who had been on the phone for a bit, hung up and banged his hand on the table to get people's attentions.

"Everyone! I have bad news! Snow was killed in a Witch attack over the weekend. With no clear report on who claimed the bounty, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take his wanted poster off the bulletins." With that, he went over and pulled away the wanted poster for an infamous president in a parallel world. At least one person groaned when this happened.

"But! Good news! I've shifted the reward for 50,000 Muros over to a more infamous person. This will be already added to his 998,000 Muro bounty for a grand total of 1,048,000 Muros! Everyone, turn your weapons to the Masked Rider!" He stabbed another wanted poster with his knife. The 50,000 Muro reward from Snow's poster was placed over the Rider's 998,000 Muro bounty.

The Rider on the poster had the large compound eyes and the antennae that Riders were known for, though they were four instead of the normal two, but he had the teeth on the mask were more akin to that of a skull's teeth. A group of people began to chatter.

"Hey, didn't he arrive at the bar yesterday and caused that fight?" A couple of them could be heard by August, Rachel, and the others.

Back at the brawl

"They are the scourge of the Multiverse! The grim reminder of cruelty!" Thomas said to Allen as he fired his guns at Wendy, though she side stepped each bullet. "The small cat you see before you is an Incubator. A deceitful fairy who doesn't deserve to live!" He twirled around and fired at the feather heading to him and Morgan. "The woman assisting him is a Devil. One whose heart had fallen to the darkness, and over there, that bird, that's what's left of her heart. A corrupt monster known as an Archdemon. They must be eradicated for the good of the Multiverse!"

Maybe you were rushing, maybe not,

@Blitz

Well, considering what I said previously...

Well, time to do what I am notorious for:

Rushing the ending.

@Psyga315

No worries.

What Could Have Been

I was originally gonna have Zack swallow his pride and give up on fighting people, with Sam, his brother, giving him batteries for him to eat, allowing him to regain a fraction of his power without overloading him or having enough juice to be effective, though only temporary. Essentially fulfilling the conditions of him obtaining his goal through different thinking.

I found a couple of problems with the ending though. For one, it made Sam seem like a drug dealer, because the previous chapter and this one made it seem like he was addicted to the power and that Sam was egging the addiction on instead of not allowing any information regarding regaining powers to enter Zack's ears like he had vowed before. Also, eating batteries seemed like a very, very cheap way for him to regain powers, even if it is out of the box for him.

I'm putting the finishing touches on the story now. I was almost done with the ending before I decided to scrap it because of reasons that if I explained would spoil the story.

War of the Multiverse

Fight At The Edge Of Town

As Wendy was tossed into Kyubey, she could see Noel sprinted towards her. As she brought her guns forth, Wendy tried to use the wind to push herself out.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!

The pistols were the quicker of the two and Wendy wound up gaining a few bullet holes before she thrusted her arms backwards and created a gust of wind to push herself into the air. The rest of the bullets wound up shredding the Incubator and rendered it into Swiss cheese before it fell over. Wendy landed... right into Rain's punch.

BAAAAANG!

As if like it was a scene out of a shonen fighting manga, Rain's fist pounded into Wendy's stomach so hard, she could see her own fist on the other side of her body. Wendy began to twitch. Her jaw gyrated. She began to cough up, not blood, but a sickly, black, mud-like substance. Despite this seeming fatal blow, Wendy just laughed and smiled.

"Fufufufufufufufufu! That tickled!" She cackled as she pushed herself off of the fist. Tiny strands emerged from one part of her stomach to the other side in a rapid motion and in no time, her stomach began to regenerate. With that though, her body began to emanate a larger version of the dark aura. Morgan caught up with Thomas as he saw his victim turn into mush.

"What is she?!" Morgan asked.

"It's as I said, she's a Devil. A human that has descended so far down the abyss, that not even they identify themselves as humans." Thomas said. He then looked at Wendy. Despite shrugging off both a gauss rifle to the head and a fire punch through the gut, Wendy was damaged. Her legs trembled a bit as Wendy panted a bit heavier. The aura was a good sign too, as he can tell from his history of hunting Devils. "We keep this up though, and we'll beat her." Thomas readied his muskets.

The Bar's Chatter
By now, the song of Gaston has died down and Charles and Eric reminisce of the good ol' days. The bartender went to Rachel.

"What can I fix you up with?" He asked Rachel. He then turned to Edward. "I'm all ears."

"Floridaman... Floridaman... Something rings a bell... Hey, Charles, wasn't there that one time a rabbit saw Florida off the map while we were on it and left us to die on there?" Eric said.

"Y-yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah... maaaan... that was a weird trip..." Charles said.

Back to the Brawl
A new Kyubey appeared from out of nowhere and proceeded to eat the other Kyubey's remains.

"Wendy, our opportunity has been wasted. There is no further point in engaging this." Kyubey said.

"N-no! Not until I settle the score with that ass over there!" She pointed to Rain and glared. Small, black tornadoes began to form over her arms. "You've wounded me so much... And now... now I've had enough!" With that, she slammed her fists into the ground, knocking Kyubey away from the battlefield and kicking up a sandstorm in the process. Thomas immediately began to shield Morgan from the sand.

"I knew this would happen!" Thomas gritted his teeth.

---

Inside the sandstorm, Wendy dug her finger into the place where the rifle bullet met her skull and dug into it. The darkness faded away as the wound reopened. She twisted it over and over until her finger was dyed with red. She pulled it out as the wound closed up again. She then proceeded to draw a magic circle with the blood. When the circle was complete, she placed her hand over it.

"My Abyssal Beast, hear my cry
I call to you to come and fly
to when I need you the most
come forth and protect your host
O spirit of the Slyph
FLY AWAY NOW:
GIRUDA!!!"

---

The barrier of sand burst apart as a giant white bird, with the head of a crane and the body of a crow, spread its wings wide open. Thomas covered his eyes from the sand and pulled out his card, scanning the bird. Instantly, the card's background went pitch black as a picture of a bird was shown and on it: The Fly.

"No doubt about it! This is her Archdemon!" Thomas said. The bird swooped in to attack Noel. Meanwhile, Wendy fired a blast of hot air towards Rain. Kyubey landed on his feet.

"I just don't understand..." Kyubey sighed and tried to get away.

@Inner Demon
Yeah, I wanna apologize about that. Maybe next time.

Alright, I've been thinking about it. While I find the idea of the Cyber Beast good and that it could lead to an OG situation like SRW, I fear this will lead to more of a Kingdom Hearts effect, where OCs are everywhere and they have nothing to do with anything they cross over into.

Also, Deadpool might become problematic if one is to go with the "suddenly he's breaking the fourth wall and knows he's in an RPG.", even if I find it amusing.

War of the Multiverse (Interest Check/Signup)

@Inner Demon

Alright. I'm gonna give you a detailed example of what I mean using the backstories of one of my characters:

So, we have Jason Troy, a human from our Earth. Normal Earth. No aliens, mutants, supers, robots, whatsoevers, just vanilla Earth. During the bombing of London (i.e. WWII), he wound up getting into a portal and ended up in another world. There, he gained a new power from it and some new ideals from the experience he had (namely, terrorists "freedom fighters" ticked him off so much he resented ever being a member of them and resents being a hero and all the bells and whistles of it) and traveled the multiverse with that ideal in mind.

So, your character is sort of that same line, at some point in Earth's timeline, a human, your character, ended up getting into a portal and winding up in another world. This world being your setting with the Cyber Beast. Makes sense?

@Inner Demon

I was thinking if you'd play said Earth!OC.

@malmshodes

Well, a GM once said that Deadpool would be very hard to play correctly without turning him into a full-blown sociopath (not really a good idea for RPGs) or a constant fourth-wall breaker (which, while I have no problem with, might turn off some people). So keep that in mind.

War of the Multiverse (Interest Check/Signup)

@Inner Demon Though keep in mind that I'm still thinking about it. Again, I made the rule to prevent overfill of OCs that have nothing to do with any fandom they're crossing over into, so this exception I'm making has me think if it's the right decision.
