Reaper's Lounge
Hightower walks up to Walter... again, lacking the arm cannon.
Who now?
Ah fugget about it- what matters to me is thaT MY PROFILE'S BEEN TAKEN BY SOME RED MAGE JERK! AND I AIN'T WILLIN' LOSING IT OVER THIS MESS MAN! SO FORGET WHOEVER YOUR TALKING ABOUT, AND FOCUS MORE ON ME AND MY PROBLEM!
He then grabs a random Gnome from out of nowhere!
Hello ol' chum! I'm the one and only Spirit G'nome! And you've just been-
Tower then squishes the poor G'nome, causing Diamond Shards to pop out from the top of the latter's hat, with said shards then flying towards the walls of the lounge!
G-gnome'd... oww...

???
That same cloud of anti-omni energy reappears in some sort of unfamiliar airspace, with the person, clad in differing shades of red and black, floating in the air, pulling out the black tome.
???: Firstly... Evil Arts: Animate!
Then, from the waters below, something seems to be rising from the waters... something horned, winged, something that only Gilgamesh (the Final Fantasy one Brash has) himself would recognize. But the body, or in this case, bodies, were decayed almost beyond recognition. The bodies were of course eaten out by sea-life like sharks, plankton, bacterium, whatever carnivorous creature this sea had caused all three of those bodies to be almost zombie-like, but more puppeteered for the lack of better words.
???: Second, I'll just put you three in a sort of storage for later.
The three corpses then disappeared in a thick black mist, never to be seen unless called. The one in red then disappears in that anti-omni smoke once again, speaking his mind.
???: Now, I'm aware that the "heroes" almost always win in the end in this "world". Well I say, who's to say that they, themselves, are being the "villains" without knowing that they missed something completely? What is that "something"? Well... that comes in at a later time.

Joyous Tower 1st floor
A small laptop computer buzzes near the doorway with pictures of a few pages from a book of unknown origin. While someone walks up to the computer, a pair of old, ripped up tomes in arm, one purple with dull black rims, the other black with chrome red rims and spine. The titles of the books being hidden by putting the front ends up against each other. In the other, three other tomes colored red, green and gold, though these three, look to be in mint condition.*
???: Alright... let me begin.
The person then walks out the door, putting the tomes under a belt-covered vest, all belts red in color, vest colored a deep scarlet.
Outside Joyous Tower
The one then starts walking straight, then, stands still, blinking with one eye visible, as they didn't plan a thing.
???: All of you may or may not be wondering who or what I am. Not everything needs a clear explanation, mind you, nor do I wish to make myself read like a book so easily. But what I am willing to say is... be mindful on how you wish to confront me, "friend", foe, or otherwise.
They keep on walking, then disappears into a cloud of anti-omni energy, leaving behind remains of a blood-red pumpkin balloon.
*Despite three of the five tomes being familiarly colored for certain users on the server like Tedd or Ch4s3, these tomes are a reference to something else entirely.

Joyous Tower, October 4th, 2022, timeline 1.
Somewhere, inside the remains of the battlefield, in the bottom part of the tower; a sort of blood-red, pumpkin balloon, flows up from the ground, pulsating like a human heart, with something inside. Or maybe someone. The latter being more obvious, due to closer inspection of the pumpkin, a sort of, silhouette of someone in a balled-up position, slowly uncurling, as if waking up from a deep sleep.
Reapers Lounge, October 5th, 2022
Hightower then notices that a phone in his pocket starts to buzz, pulls it out, and notices the notice that it brought up...
The hell!? My account got hacked by some jerk calling himself "Red Mage"!*
*(OOC: Not really, it's a Halloween thing, plus, an in-roleplay event too! So, in other words, in-world account takeover! Even though I hate Halloween funnily enough.)

Shopping District - Timeline 3, March 23rd, 2022
When Eiko went out Gonzales' Shop, looking around, looking at all the different shops, ranging from instruments, clothes, to antiques and for some reason, non-bullet-based weaponry. Eiko, could only look in awe, at the very sight of the entire district, over-stimulated like an infant watching c(*^@)!@n.
Woah...
Much later, October 1st
Eiko, once again, walks out of Gonzales' shoppe, said shoppe, having the roof having an in-progress rebuild. The young summoner then notices the decorations certain shops are starting to decorate with pumpkin-shaped objects, plastic ghosts, and other things relating to the holiday known as halloween.
...Okay, of all things I've seen on this planet thingy... this has got to be, the weirdest thing happening that I've ever seen.
Gonzales then walks out as well, stretching his arms and back, looking around.
Gonzales: *yawns* October already? Man people just become obsessed with Halloween in the blink of an eye, yeah?
Eiko looks at the dinosaur in a confused manner.
Hallow-what now?
Gonzales: Oh, right, you came from another planet- Halloween's a holiday we have here for uh... some reason, I dunno, but it would be a good chance for you to get candy if you get in a costume and say trick 'r treat at different houses, or something like that. I don't really get it, but still, free candy.
Hm... (Candy + Costume + Hollow + thingy = sweets = SWEET DEAL) Sounds good. Can I get a costume?
Gonzales: Nnnnot until a few days before the end of the month where the holiday takes place.
Eiko makes a face the just screams, "Aw what? Really?" While Gonzales just shrugs.

Mugenri, June 20th, 2022, Lucas POV
(Dual) Lucas keeps on walking along, only to be interrupted and beat into submission, many a generic foe native to Mugenri, whether it be a fairy, a small gaggle (or whatever their term for herd is) of ghosts, and the occasional oddity, of Mr. Batty that starts to pop up from time to time, as if flying out of nowhere.
Well, they did say that Mr. Batty do grow near fruit tree's they like but... I don't there's a single one for miles at this point, really. Maybe they're migrating...?
Lucas then presses on, trying to get to wherever this path leads to, while having the feeling of being watched...
Mugenri, Dimensional Cave entrance*, June 20th, 2022, ??? POV
The sound of a lone pair of combat boots starts to walk out of the cave, almost in a marching manner, someone gets out the entrance, wearing a black jacket, a somewhat familiar pair of brown cargo pants, but something feels... wrong, like, the "something's missing" type of wrong. There's also a hood covers most of the face, minus the mouth. Something obviously detailed like that, should raise some sort of flag due to a stigma of hooded folk like these have involving antagonism, or something else. The hooded one then looks around, in a robotic, almost rusted kind of way.
*From a post I made in May 27th, in this thread, I forgot which page so, there's that I suppose.

Awrright, time for me to legit do something here after my unannounced time off due to my stint as a raid boss, uh... lesse... I choose for this battle... Curse-Head, who uses a Big Swing unto the poor, unsuspecting "Cutting "Man"".

Mugenri, June 20th, 2022
Lucas, minding his own business, then get's ambushed by a Monochrome Fairy, barely dodging a sword swing!
Battle theme - Mr Batty Twist
Woah!
He then starts to swing to the beat of the song in the background at the Monochrome Fairy (which I'll call monochrome fellow from here), scoring 4 hits in, with the fellow blocking the 5th hit with its blade! lucas then starts to channel some PSI energy... focusing four rectangle-like shapes*, then pushes it forward at the fellow's torso, causing it to fly off!
You Won!
Lucas takes a deep breath, to try and recover from the battle that ensued... while with the Monochrome fellow, it crash-lands at somewhere; in case either Brash, or RSB are interested in joining this little self-contained story separate from all the others, if and when they want, the fellow crashes into somewhere of their choosing, whether it be nowhere, or otherwise. Their choice, not mine. In case they don't want to join in, I'll make it so that the fellow lands somewhere else.

The sound of small feet walking up, is heard, before Walter witnesses the only guy smaller than him in terms of reaper-dom walk in front of him... In kind of cool sunglasses.
Cungadero.
He then brings out a bag of nacho cheese Doritos 3d on his right, and his previous form's arm cannon on his left.

JUMBO DA- I mean uh... somewhere at Mugenri, June 20th, 2022
Lucas walks down the seemingly small road from the cave leading to somewhere, but of course, he doesn't know where exactly.
Alright, lesse what's here at wherever this road is...
He then turns a corner to the right, picking up a stick on the way, just in case since he came in, unarmed.

Billeigh, going through his punishment of guarding the underwater dojo, looks around seeing that things are currently... silent for some reason. Usually, vehicles from above would be hovering above the water, going from their point a's to b's, like it was the end of the world.
Billeigh: (Wonder what's going on up there this time?)
We then see what's up above the water, seeing floating cities, but with no people in sight, aside from shadows from curtained windows. We can't see their exact shape of being, but from the looks of it, they sort of look more like fish creatures with limbs than humans, suggesting that they're the indigenous inhabitants, unlike the sub-humans below. Inside one of the houses, it appears a lone Neptunian is watching some sort of news report of an unknown object crashlanding to whatever remains of earth.
???: (I don't like the sounds'a dis one bit... for some reason.)*
Earth's atmosphere...
The object, then starts falling to it's surface, never to be seen again...
*All we can hear, is guttural growling, but through some translation efforts on my end, I was able to do a rough translation.

(OOC: Well, that's the pits for ye)

As FEH-Beta moves along, he then starts to hear the first notes of megadeth...
???: Hold on a minute.
(Megadeth sting)
Duke: Think you can just go without the king?
(Rest of that damn song going on. Before it got interrupted by Duke.)
Duke: Plus I came back from that slow-mo problem. What'd I miss?

Lapley then wastes her turn to get in Serah's ways, putting her arms around her neck!
Woah woah woah, were you tryin' to skip out on me? Skip? Skipperoo? Skipadungus? And miss me slowly but surely one at a time take your friends lives right here and now despite what I did earlier probably being on the contrary?
An unknown garbled mess then echoes out, with Lapley seemingly being the only one understanding, nodding along...
Rude, very, very rude.
She then tries to choke Serah out, only to be stopped in the nick of time, by Valkyrie and her stead's stat buffs the morph valflame of Linmstella lowering her defense to 12, and Muspell Flames of xX_L00T_Xx!, dealing 463 on the first hit, lowering Lapley's defense from 12, to 11! The rest of the damage afterwards, is 4,933... uh-oh for mighty if he doesn't want to be the boss.
Glass then does his thing, dealing 78 damage via the bow to charmed Curse-Head, and when he did the slash... he did 392 damage to Lapley!
The Magnet Bomb deals 50 damage, and stuns her again, while Gladilous does 94 damage with it's attack
Charmed Curse-Head then swings his hammer in circles (Big Swing), taking L00T with it, dealing damage based on his current attack + speed, oh screw it here's the fomula (attack + speed x 75 / target's defense)- in the end it dealt 67 damage!
Punch's attack landed thrice! 513 damage!
Seargent's missile's deal damage Charmed Curse-Head for a total of 64 damage, and lower's charmed Curse-Head's defense by 2.
But then comes the kicker that is Best Man's attack... it hit... TWICE. Dealing a combined total of 3619 damage! Damn!
After all the attacks hit, everything turns back to normal, but something's wrong... from Lapley's box is, a sort of... ball?
Oh! My adivce ball!
She grabs the dragon eye looking thing tightly... while Curse-Head is charmed no longer!
...uuuuuUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Lapley then turns to Curse-Head...
But... I... like, my advice ball. It tells me what to do...
But you... y... you're... you're...!
The then grips the ball, floating mid-air in front of it!
YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE I LIKE IT!!!
Dio's theme but only the good part
Red skies and violent strikes of thunder created from chaos energy (not the Sonic kind) strike down on everyone! Causing them all to be in critical condition!
ALL OF YOU WILL LOVE ME AND MY ADVICE BALL NO MATTER WHAT! I SWEAR IT!
Lapley then tries to do one last attack, trying to make all of them her audience possibly until the end of time... but then, a mere marble made of energy slowly goes up to her chest... and does the Seven-Page Muda rush, causing her to fly all around the current world, and back slamming her back into her box, lid shut! The marble then starts to speak...
???: I apologize about her... she was meant to bring me mirth and laughter but, after she decimated a planet to zilch with that eye, I of course had to do something. Lo, the "Joker Family Lapley Box", her containment as it were. Anyways, thank you for at least, attempting to put up with her- I have an... alternate omniverse to run if you will. At least, not going without compensation.
The orb then tears open a timehole pushing the box in, refreshed the coin items and leaves behind zenny...

Shu's Saber-Tooth starts steaming at the ears out of rage! In fact, you might say it's starting to go on a Clawed Rampage! Deflecting any and all diamonds away from it and Shu with its bear arms alone, causing the one's it hit to go almost everywhere in the room with a flaming bonus it picked up along the way from the body!
Rampage - In blue dragon plus, the Rampage line was originally, just a flame-based hit from the saber-tooth, but here, in CZ, I reimagine this attack as the tiger itself going on a destructive rampage, using its body heat as the source of the flames, deflecting or reflecting any ranged non-elemental, non-magic* attacks like bombs, bullets, etc. It's three levels are Rampage, Claw Rampage (the one in use), which give a flame element to the user's physical attack as a bonus, and Tiger Rampage, capable of the last thing, and a bit more...
*I mean, I don't know if the attacks involving Jevil's suite-based attacks are actually magic, but, for now, I suppose I'll assume that summoning them is, but the things themselves aren't.

Ark simply sits back down on some of the crates, in a more relaxed position, while listening to the ensuing conversation from Freeze and Hornet.

(OOC: Oh shit. Here we go again.)
???
A loud, horrible banging sound roars though out wherever this place is at the moment, until stopping for reasons unknown... then a shrill voice similar to that of Chill Penguin/Dr. Wily from powered up mixed with Bill Cipher comes in with a horrible singing voice too all smash fighters and assist trophies in whatever place they're currently in for some unknown reason via some sort of voodoo bullhonkey...

Crazy Hand (via mind bullshit): AND THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS-A! BUH-BYEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
The voice then goes away... like nothing was ever there...

(Okay, as ch4s3 stated, yes, the calcs are taking me awhile. But it's out of both laziness, and hatred over being the raid boss if I were to be honest due to how many things I both didn't learn beforehand, and things I forgot like, the damage from being burned like Mario, and the poison status for Hellion and Guard. So, I am going to end this poorly handled on my end raid, by the end of this month, which is Wednesday this week, Monday, or Tuesday. The final calcs will be edited in this post by then. So, for now, I wish you well, and I hope you can handle the wait. And if wanted, I can show the ending early. Hope you all have a good day.)
The above text will be here for archival purposes due to the post being separated from this one due to the site being a jerk about sizing.

A massive crowd of sub-human's, from adult age to children watch as a street fight commences like it was a wrestling match on television. One fighter, a martian, is currently winning against his competitor, a sub-human with some odd veins sticking out of his limbs and neck.
???: Come on, human man, when are you going to fight back eh? I thought your reputation as a fighter would be-
???: SORE!
Then, the challenger jumps into the air with a flaming red aura.
???: What the-!?
The challenger lands on his feet, clothes changed from something resembling common street thug clothing to that of a red do-gi, and uppercuts the martian right into the proboscis with a flame-drenched fist, causing said martian to fall to the floor!
???: How'd you like me now?
The martian then slowly gets up...
???: Well then... I suppose that... I admit... defeat, good sir...
The audience claps in delight over an underdog victory!
Announcer: Colconeux declared forfeit! Our winner and new planetary champion, is Jimmei Leigh!
Jimmei: Aw yeah! Hail to the Red Dragon baby!
Colconeux then hands Jimmei his belt and tells him something.
Colconeux: Human, I hope you realize that, with you becoming our new champion, there is a responsibility you must carry.
Jimmei then nods, looking to the possibly black skies of mars, imagining what to come as best he can...

A blond sub-human with gills on his torso and the same vein-like situation as Jimmei, is practicing some form of martial art, wearing a horribly old f1-racer outfit, while having a look that resembles a sort of emptiness...
???: Hooooh....
The gilled sub-hume then jumps into the air like Jimmei! But the end result is a blue do-gi instead of a red one. Then, stiffening his legs, he does n a flip kick, but the kick itself was just like a magnet... for a geyser of pure blue energy almost unseen in an underwater dojo like this!
???: Billeigh!!!
The blonde then lands on the ground, like nothing happened as the geyser dissapates.
Billeigh: Master Ryn!
Billeigh turns behind him, as a younger neptunian sub-human with black hair but no veins, tries aiming for Billeigh's neck only for the blonde to block it, narrowly avoiding a sort of black out situation!
Ryn: What'd I tell you about the Blue Dragon Unleash under the water?!
Billeigh: Not to do it...
Ryn: And why?
Billeigh: It might attract the wrong people... but I forgot about that though-
Ryn: No excuses! Now guard the front entrance and Blue Dragon Scroll as per. tradition!
Billeigh: Yes master...
He then grabs a scroll from a pedestal, puts it in his left pocket, and goes outside the dojo to guard it...

Freeze, Hornet, and Ark
Then, without warning, Gyro starts hearing some sort of, jaws theme-like beeping followed by a unknown voice...
ZETSUMETSU: LEARNING 1 (Noise/Impact)
Then... dark red flames made of noise surround the one in the back (Ark), who then clenches his left hand, and tears a hole on the top of the roof, hitting Gryo right in the chest dealing a fixed 13 damage!
Extinction...
