Ninten: Thank me later... now anyways, we have a job to do! And by we I mean all but me, i'm just a wet noodle campared to him!

  Oh, this ain't the result of level grinding in Joyous Tower or whatever. It's a little Pseudoreaper magic that means I don't have to sit around beating the crap out of Blisseys just to stand a chance against my foe. This makes it so that the system WILL automatically set my level as well as Shired's to match yours, so you can't just bullshit your way to victory like Duracell did multiple times.

Phantasm fired a Break Laser at Regulus!
Shired fires a Shield Shot at Regulus!
Everyone else repeats the actions they tried last turn!

Ability Name: Break Laser
Power: 24
Description: The user fires a powerful laser that deals damage and harshly lowers the target's Defense stat upon hit!

Unfortunately, Gohan's location has been masked. Not by the power of El Blanco, but by the sheer fact that I'm pretty sure Walter is in control of the character, as well as whether or not he can be found, or even needs to be found.

Bt Ghost warps in with Beta Man, Ninja Man, Sergeant Man, Beta Man Z, and Sergeant Man Z. (Ninja Man Z is still at Little Papa Beta's, and will join in later.) Mega Man, Bass, and Proto Man also warps in, as Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles arrives at the scene via Tornado. Shadow also appears through Chaos Control, having a lot of questions about why Metal Sonic is here, who the three Sonic robots are (seeing as he never met them in his entire life), and all sorts of other things, though he decides to go off and try to ask them.

And finally, the crème de la crop... The ever-mysterious Mr. L has arrived on the scene!

The Green Thunder strikes again! Yes, it's-a me, the great man of-a mystery, Mr. L!

The Green Thunder approaches Brash's group.

You didn't-a think I have abandoned you, have-a you? Well, fear not! My-a days of cowardice has long since-a passed! I said I would-a be here, so, here I-a am!
...What-a more, I couldn't help but-a noticed that you were having trouble finding-a someone to wield the Purity Heart... Well, I-a brought someone who I believe might be the perfect holder of-a that object...

The enigmatic Mr. L turns around, revealing a rather familiar figure behind him...

...Let's-a go.

Mario
Mr. Nintendo himself; Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom

As Team Mecha explains themselves to Shadow, the Purity Heart moves towards Mario. Some of the other Artifacts begin empowering people on their own, as well...the Super Emeralds to Metal Sonic (while still having power left over), and the Rainbow Drops to Meta Knight.While Meta Knight himself is not empowered by the Rainbow Drops, they merge with his sword, creating the Rainbow Galaxia.

None of the attacks do anything, due to them not only being able to do anything unless Regulus (yes, the mirage) wants them to, but his immunity to any and all types, and his unscalable-to-ability. Instead looks point blank at everyone, and yawns. Regulus (the real one) rises into space. The wave also easily goes through the Gate Block, destroying it with zero effort.

Hiyaa already made the Dio reference so I'm not even going to bother with the wry/muda muda stuff. Anyway...

Regulus drops a compressed Supercluster on the Earth, said Supercluster moving at 10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100^100 times faster than the Planck Instant, easily and instantly killing everyone who is not named Regulus on Earth, with the exception of the coffee shop inhabitants.

Now that that's over with, time to go and eat a bowl of my favorite cereal. Fruit Loo-

Time is rewinded before anything dire can happen.
--The hell?
Not... *pant*...
Not on my waa-- woah, nelly.

Will Smith collapses due to having to Rewind Time on the sheer power of potency that is Regulus. He seems to be in critical condition.

....Inconvenient. But I'll just do it agai--
Hold on a moment.

Out steps Prototype, who stands triumphant.

Wait, you're alive? This is... unexpected.
C'mon, there's still one person left you have yet to face. Someone who has something to prove against you. We've technically never fought before, have we? And here I am, right? So you failed to put me in my place.
And what's stopping me from turning you into nothingness?
Maybe the fact that if you do, it'll only prove that you needed the help of those rings and your fancy powers to win.
...
...I'm listening.

The Brash Crew and associates realize what just happened with the Supercluster.Esoterica "Forgotten Ritual"The star-shaped barrier is strengthened by Volt Man's Yotta Force Field, Sonic Man's Sound Bubble, Rho-volt Torch's Welding Barrier, Super Neo Metal Sonic's Elemental Shields, and Daiyousei's Plant Barrier!!!!

---

(There are too many new power levels and abilities to keep up with so I'm saving them for the end)

The mysterious- ...Oh, why even bother. Mr. L is shaken from the effect of what just happened.

M-mama-mia! W-we're-a supposed to fight THAT-a thing!?
it... Despite everything, not a single one of us stood a chance against that kind of power!
Yeah, and I don't know about you guys, but I highly doubt this "Regulus" is one to keep his side of the deal unless it actually benefits him... I guarantee the moment Regulus is close to failure, he's going to go against his word in whatever "deal" Prototype is making.
The only chance we may have at winning this is if Beta Team can accomplish this "unification of powers" thing... But without Walter's El Blanco power, I'm not sure if it will even come close to victory.

...I hate to be a downer, but... This might just be it for us. An extreme miracle and impossible levels of luck are the only things that can save us now.

Ninten then thought a way to help during this trying time... Super shield! He added his own defenses to the barrier!

Dyna Man rushes over to Bt, with rage in his eyes.

Sanae turns to Lagnus.Sanae tosses an Omikuji Bomb away from the group...and the least lucky type of explosion occurs.

(OOC: End of Day)

Someone is late to the party, as per usual. They seem rather peeved about it.
Matt damn it, not again!
Mighty
Celestial Forme™ (mastered, probably? idk) - Original Wielder of the Power of Starforce

Mighty heals and buffs Will Smith and, well, pretty much everyone else besides Prototype and Regulus with Mystery Orange Juice™.

Listen, guys. I know that the Blanco is already powerful enough with just you ten, but I think it would be much stronger if we included me, the Prototype World Ring bearers, Supercharged bots, and pretty much everyone.
Me and Eta could probably balance out the spectrum, since the Celestial Forme™(you spelled that wrong btdubs) has a very malleable energy output because all of the types and stuff.

Mighty tries breaking Walter/Worship out of the time hold with the full power of all his Time Rogue Stars, asking Eta Cosmic, Delta Paradox and Will Smith for help.

Mighty, was it? I guess I owe you one. I'll try to do what I can to help.

Will also joins in on trying to break Walter free, concentrating his chronokinesis on the Dimension Walter is stuck in. There seems to be a slight change...

---

The terms are?

1v1, as the way you were back in the beginning. No outside interference from either party, we fight till one of us is unable to compete. If you're attacked from any outsiders, it's an instant loss from the other side. I win, you will be stripped of your powers and forever banned into a void (Albeit more than you deserve)... You win... Go ahead and do whatever you want. What do you say, "Wily Omega"?
...Now I know you're playing me...
...But you're right. I accept...

Regulus gradually changes, morphing back into his original state.

Hmmm, it's been a while since I was like this...
...And a "while" it will remain. But truly, this is the perfect way to crush everyone's deepest hopes. By tearing apart the representation of them.
A reminder: Reverting to this state does not change the consequences of being attacked by anyone else. I will transform back should that be. As for our battle grounds...

The landscape around the two changes to a wide Colosseum.

(This is it... This is the battle that I've been waiting for.)

(But now... Now I prove to everything. That I can win.)

---

.....
.....

The two charge, one with an open fist, and the other shield-first.

Mighty delays trying to release Walter/Worship from the time hold out of fear that he'd immediately try and punch Regulus, conjures some popcorn and watches the fight.

..Am I the only one who noticed that weird personality change when he shifted back into MKII?

---

The force of their collision bounces the both of them away. Neither of them seem quite effected however. MKII immediately begins shooting rapid fire MKII Strikes at Prototype, who dodges them all.

I feel the urge to ask. Why? Why are you incapable of coexisting along with peace? What made you impossible to coexist with peace? What made you this callous, this-- selfish?

As Prototype retaliates with a barrage of P-T Busters, MKII dashes through them with his shield.

Careful who you speak to, knave. I was created as a means of destruction, to strike fear into the hearts of the innocent, to chaos anarchy all around. It is all I know. It is all I will ever know. And no one-- Doctor of mine or not-- will hold me from doing doing so.

MKII once at melee range props up Razor Blades on his Shield, swinging at Prototype, who struggles to dodge them. When he's about to get hit, he uses Prototype Crusher to tank the Razor Blades and punch MKII, sending him skyrocketing.

It doesn't have to be like that! Look at me! I was living life at it's least as a simple Elite Commander of his forces, but when I met my friends, it was then that I knew who I was! Nobody's forcing you to be evil but yourself!

Seconds later, thousands of Homing Shields begin flying down towards Prototype, who quickly uses Protect, covering the battlefield in dust. Little does he know that MKII has opened up a Viral Wormhole, taking him right behind Prototype.

I'm well aware. I'm the one making the decision.

Prototype turns around to zap him with his Oculaser but it's too little too late as MKII proceeds to wail on Prototype until knocking him to a distant corner. He then proceeds to spam an assortment Shield Mines on Prototype while he is down. However, he begins to get up, as the explosions from the mines gradually begin hurt him less.

Then...
...Then you're even scummier than I thought.
DESTROY!

Prototype, at this point completely oblivious to all damage from the explosions, lunges at MKII, punching him. MKII retaliates by punching him in return. Slowly but surely the battle transforms into an all-out slugfest, neither party relenting nor even reacting. Eventually their punches begin connecting at MFTL speeds. But although almost undetectable... A small glitch-like texture begins to radiate from Prototype.
