Ten, twenty, forty, ninty, one hundred fifty, three hundred minutes, 920, still, nothing but the same ol black nothingness.
Is-is-is it cold or just-jus-just me?
Realizing that his temperature gauge is offline, File reactivates it. Oddly enough, it seems to be at 50. Perhaps it's broken? Besides, this creature's temperature resistance could be lower than expected. Thinking this through, he goes over a list of procedures in his head.
Do you have any way to warm yourself?
...There is o-one thing in the b-b-bag. Could...could you grab the heat spray? It should be a white cylinder. Just unscrew the lid and just hand it over p-please.
As Filewalker takes the princess out of the bag, he focuses on finding the device. Sure enough, he pulls it out and as he unscrews the lid.
Oh don't use that one. That one's just a Blank Bomb-and you activated it.
!
Quicker than Sallysander expected, Filewalker throws the bomb before casting a shield around them. As it flies in space, a blue liquid spills out, landing on top of the shield. As File is about to place her back into the bag as a second form of protection, starts to snicker before bursting out in laughter.
You-you should see the look on your face right now! Kekek-
...
Oh come on Filewalker. It's just a joke...I mean, don't you know what jokes are.
Course I do.
Then laugh.
Danger isn't exactly something worth laughing at.
*sigh* Right, forgot I was traveling with someone serious enough to give Grandest Guardian a run for their money.
...
Turning off the shield, a small amount of blue liquid still on top falls onto Sallysanderbyte.
...

Filewalker turns away from Sallysanderbyte, but not quick enough for her to notice a small grin.
...Hey that's no-...
Hmph.
What's this stuff anyways?
Oh it's just coolant. Now I really am c-c-cold.
Filewalker shakes his head while going through the backpack once more and pulling out another cylinder.
This one a bomb too?
Now that one...is actually a-
Behind you!
!

Flicking his wrists, PK Thunder y was called upon!

Though no shots ring out, Beta Satan feels like a Buster Shot hit him(should it hit).

Stache activates Valkyrie's buster one last time before a snapping sound echoes inside Valkyrie Woman's head. The Psychonic Link was severed!

Slowly getting back up, Glass turns to Sharena.
Wha...what just happened?

---

---

Sounds like a lovely place to be honest with-.
...Yeah wait a moment. Brash doesn't have a reaper. That's a relief.

---

---

As Quin's sobbing begins to soften, he notices through a teary eye that Skeleton Jack has stood up like a skeleton from a coffin and starts to walk away, mumbling about something...

Stache shakes his head as the flames whisk past him. Sensing something coming, he opts to fire another PK Thunder y, concentrating less on the chaos and more-so on the task at hand.

...
One last shot erupts from Valyrike's buster as well as a star of storms!

Hmm...
Eh, why not?

---

Old
8:50
...No.
(How do I tell what Gold I have?)(Also the No's referring to the shop)

Another Buster Shot fires from Valkyrie Woman. Stache just stands there as the timer ticks down.
1.

YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!♫

Rocker Joe rocks the forum in demands to an encore!

You're right.
A quiet static escapes his lips as he finishes his words.
Everything's gonna fade away, every whisper, every thought, every backlash of our banter. It just about already has. But the way you hold yourself, believing your an exception to this or some kind of of personification or avatar of it. We're all just ghosts...kicking and screaming at one another till we all fall down.
Don't act like your any different.

With a bit more eagerness, a few Buster Shots escape Valkyrie Woman's buster(?) and are directed towards Beta Satan.

Stache feels a odd defensive force surround him. He looks to one of his hands before standing perfectly still, facing the direction of Beta Satan. PK Starstorm Ω. was called upon!...Using Valk's attack of course.

Stache starts to rapidly vibrate his hands before putting them together to form: PK Thunder y! (Using Valkyrie's ATK)
...
Static brief appears in his eyes before connecting to Valkyrie through the Link. Valkyrie feels a slight tinge of...anger? Melancholy? It's too small of a feeling to understand it.

Ghost of Stache falls over before dissipating into nothing.

(I have to go to work so if I am actually KOed, just ignore this next part completely. Assuming I'm alive by the all allies recovered, I wish to cast Psychonic Link with Valkyrie Woman.)

Stache cracks his neck before firing another PK Starstorm a, somewhat disappointed in himself by the lack of damage being done. (Once again Doc Elite's ATK is being used for the calculation)

Woah.
If those other Defenders weren’t there, we would of lost everything.
Sounds like you played a big part in it.
...Hardly.
Is taking out the big bad not something big in your world? It’s like if a Spearbyte took on the Quezon Drake alone. And lived!
...All that matters is that we secured the perimeter with little friendly casualties.
What about the other viruses? Did they stay to fight?
They ran.
You didn’t pursue them?
Taking a second, he closes his eyes and sighs.
I-I did, I had to.
Wow! Even though those guys were as fast as a vensombolt huh? How many you’d get.
I…I deleted all of em.
You got 'em all? That’s amazing! To think the first person I’ve met out of my kingdom was a h-
They…they didn’t stand a chance. They really didn’t. Even before they ran, we outnumbered them 3 to 1. It was a suidice run, nothing more. That’s… why they did it…
By this point Filewalker’s voice was quivering, something that the Princess, as enveloped in the story as she was, couldn’t help but note. Fighting her curiosity to ask what happened next, she sighs.
Uh…that’s enough for now. *yawn*. Lets…get back on track.
Of…Of course Princess.
As Filewalker equips the backpack, he notes it's fairly heavier…and moving
*yawn*
Huh?
Turning around, he finds the white sprite nestled within the backpack.
Come on. I’m tired and the way I see it, you won’t have to wait to rest, right?
Saying nothing, Filewalker boosts further into the dark.

---

---

So where’s this…Galberthine?
Hmm…I think it’s…north.
Got it.
...
…
…
…
Filewalker boosts onward in the great unknown. Or at least he believes so. Everything still looks the same, pitch black yet still far too bright. Looking around, ahead, behind…wait, why is the Princess so far behind. Changing course, he meets the princess who seems to be rummaging through her backpack.

What happened?
Oh nothing. I think we should make camp here.
Here? It’s too far exposed.
True. If you see a better spot, let me know.
That’s not what I…*sigh* fair enough.
As the Princess pulls out a radon bar from the bag, she notices Filewalker constantly looking around on high alert.
Something wrong?
What?Uh…no.
Taking a bite, the Princess stretches her limbs. Not even finished with the bite she asks Filewalker a question.
Sso tell me Fileewallker…*gulp*... how long have you been here? In the Void I mean? I’m sure you’ve met lots of people.
...Your kingdom was my first contact with this place.
...Oh. Hmm…
Then what about before?
Before?
You know…before you wound up in the void.
Oh. Well…it’s really nothing to note. You’d find it boring.
Giek.
Giek?
You know…nonsense.
Ah. Seems my translator’s outdated.
Well it’s a bit of a new word…anyways why won’t you tell me?
I…it’d just be a waste of time.
We got all the time in the world. Now come on…I order you to tell me.
As Princess Salsanderbyte somewhat snickers at the absurdity of giving a command like that, much to her surprise, Filewalker had an strange...almost empty look in his eyes.
(Hmm…I wonder…)You made a promise to my king to protect and serve me correct?
...I did.
Then I order you to tell me.
...

…Princess Salsanderbyte closed her eyes and rested her head in her detached hand as she listened with great interest as Filewalker sighed before thinking to himself of what to say. Just as Salsanderbyte is about to order him once more, he begins to tell her the first thing that comes to his mind, the words escaping his lips slowly like a dying river.
…
…
…

There…I found him. Now…
GammaGhost looks to Entity-D, arms crossed before vanishing just as Entity-D attempts a Thousand-Second Strike. Still in the process of the move, in the corner of his eye he spots a newly respawned Nuru blasting towards him with one open hand and a swarm of insects following suit.

---

----
In chains, a motionless Vangus Devil waits for eternity to end when a familiar figure briefly appears before him. Recognizing him, Vangus Devil weakly calls out.
You’ve…come to free m-?
Yoink.
The two suddenly disappear.

---

---

Slumping down in relief, Vangus Devil looks at his surroundings, noting the film reel playing without a projector in sight.
Where are we?
Well, welcome to the timestream. Here’s where everything and nothing happens at the same time.
So all you’ve done is traded me one prison for another.
Nonsense. I think you’ll find however long you have here…enlightening, trust me. And it sures beats being locked up in that place. Trust me, I’d rather be here than in there. Well, take care Vangus.
As GammaGhost leaves a now frozen Vangus Devil, he simply watches… as… time… passes … by …

---

---

As GammaGhost reappears, Entity-D also seems to reappear clashing with a now powered up Akuryo Nuru. Skidding across the floor, Entity-D ends up just shy of Gamma.
you. YOU SELFISH MONster-
Sorry, don’t got time to listen to this. Bye.
wha-what?
Brass, Nuru, and Vangus disappear, leaving Entity-D all alone.
[ --prs[piknse)))*static*)no)esdiundfiskud.]{type:attack_shadow_empty_sorrow}
Unable to even muster the strength to move, Entity-D is slowly lifted into what remains of the world above, pulled by the invisible strings of the black hole. Consigned to his fate, he simply closes his eyes as he’s tucked in by a blanket of darkness.
