Prototype answers the signal. A hologram appears above his wrist.

Really? Really? One job. You guys had one.
?
Surely you don't intend to blame everything on us.
No. But this has now reinvigorated the worries people have had in the past. And this time, one of them will be immortalized with your face. You think that's something that can just be ignored?
And despite the mandate not being out yet, I thought you would have the decency to worry about yourselves and not involve others into this mess. ESPECIALLY non-approved nobodies.
HEY!
Mech-tenant and Rock I can let slide. But Soul? Now, that's just in bad taste.
HEY!
I'll cut to the chase. I had one person on the job, but at this rate, it seems like he won't be enough as-is. So you all will be there to stop Butler, too.
We... were going to go there anyway?
That's nice, but this time I'm telling you to do it, so your actions actually hold significance.
And you four. As soon is this is over, we're going to have a little talk. Don't disappoint me further.

Walter's hologram disappears.

...So is everyone ready?
I guess. But if President Walter's own right hand man can't do the job... perhaps this won't be as much a breeze as it looks?
Doubt.

Soul opens up a Space Orb. Prototype walks to it, but Soul quickly cuts in front of him.

Ohoh, no you don't. This is my method of travel. I'm the first thing people are going to see. And I'm going to be the guy who get's the last bolded sentence in at the end of the post.
We don't have time to waste, Soul.
...Ugh, fine.

Soul begins to walk out of the Space Orb, but Mech-tenant deviously looks left and right, making sure the coast is clear before kicking Soul out himself.

Get trolled.

While Spooky is busy "bouncing" Pac-Man, a Fire Hydrant falls on his head. Pac-Man ceases the opportunity to Flip Kick, once again ricocheting off Spooky while preparing up a Bonus Item..

---

Fire Hydrant (Water/Impact)- the user summons a Fire Hydrant which spurts water out of its sides (or on top if someone is standing on it), pushing enemies and items away. Once damaged enough it will be knocked in the same direction it was hit from, turning into a projectile.
Flip Kick (Swift/Impact)- Pac-Man does flips with their foot extended, doing a bicycle kick. Can be used on the ground or in the air, and cancelled into from a Rev Roll.
Bonus Item (Nature/Weapons)- Pac-Man holds out his hand, cycling through different items which are held. Once an item is selected, Pac-Man throws the item as a projectile, with each one having unique properties when thrown.

Pac-Man tries to ambush Toc-Man with a surprise Rev-Roll, and then uses the momentum to ricochet into the air, where he can Butt Bounce on Spooky!

---

Big Eye turns to Prototype.

Hey, boss... you alright? You're lookin' a bit... distracted.

---

---

Something wroooong?~

Prototype suddenly stands extremely straight.

I'm fine, thanks.
Well... this is it. This is our kingdom come. This is our kingdom c--
Finish that sentence, and you can go find that Butler freak without Limbo privileges. And without both of your legs.
So what are we waiting on again?
Nothing. It's time to--

Beeping sounds suddenly come from Prototype's forearm. He and Soul give each other knowing glances.

Hmm... I believe this--

Prototype stops mid-sentence, looking over to Soul, who says nothing.

...
.....This must be a visua--

He stops to yet again stare at Soul, who still remains quiet.

...
...

Prototype then clears his throat before speaking, and then does so.

.....thismustbeavisualsoftwareupdatewhichallowsmetorecievedifferentypesofca--
Contrived.

Proteus stands in the center of a now leveled field, as Delta and Galacta Knight have been blown back by the sheer power radiant within Proteus's last attack. Butlertype lies flat on his back, being the center target of said attack.

...
And that is what happens when you mess with the awesomest of the awesome.

He then, for the first time, notices the disruptive aura surrounding him.

Wait a second... what the hell is this? Why am I all explodey and stuff?
You mean you can't even tell what you're doing? You really are dumb.
And you just as he. Now, scatter. I'll withdraw this wretch's head from his weak body, just as I have been tasked to do.

Proteus, hearing this, turns around directly in front of Galacta Knight.

Not so fast. I don't care what the stupid, good-for-nothing, ignorant president tells you to do. This guy robbed me. And I'm not letting anyone have their way with him until I get what he stole from me back.
...Then I shall give you the same drubbing I gave you off of this planet.

Delta steps in between them.

That won't be happening. Because neither of you will get the chance to harm any more innocents ever again!
False! You are blinded by insolence!
Alright, why not show me how insolent I am!?
LEROOOOOOOOOOOY!!!!!...

Yet again, the three parties begin to butt heads...

...

---

---

Alright, I have toyed with these nuisances enough. It is time to enact that plan....

Vaati holds a hand to his chin...

...I see. But as a reminder, you are aware, correct? That although this will provide great power... it will also put both of our souls in the same body.
Yes. I am aware of this.

Vaati hides a sinister grin.

Hmmm. In that case... you know what you must do.
...

---

---

---

---

Amongst the fighting in the background...

The spell card, Fusion Recovery.

---

---

Now... I activate Polymerization.

Butlertype's previous three opponents ensue in a fierce battle of their own, Delta and Proteus are both lifted into the air by Ground Twisters.

Now, prepare to reel in anguish!

Galacta Knight charges directly at the pair of robots.. but stops short as he sees a beacon of energy lying straight ahead.

!?!
What? Too scared to attack? Yeah, that's what I thought. Pansy a-
JESUS, WHAT THE HELL, MAN!?
No, this is impossible!

The beacon of energy contains a familiar silhouette, which rises into the air...

Now, then... perhaps you three should have evaluated your likelihood of success more acutely.

---

Ground Twister (Earth/Wind)- Galacta Knight strikes the ground beneath him, unleashing a tornado that heads directly towards the opponent. Sucks up oncoming projectiles.

Pac-Man begins to fall back to the ground, but stops himself.

WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA. (I'm no coward like you, Spooky. Only you would try such a tactic in search of avoiding a fair fight.)

---

A strange shadow clutches his knee.

Owie, owie ouch! I could've sworn I got the hang of that backflip maneuvre.

He then strangely pauses, looking above him. After a few seconds of silence, he yells.

Yeah? Well, I think you're wrong! I can totally do it! You just... haven't seen it!

...

In an attempt to gain distance, Pac-Man rises away into the air.

---

A crashing sound can be heard from outside of Chazz's tent, along with groaning...

---

Galacta Knight fires off several Knight Beams, while Proteus appears behind Butlertype.

HYAAAAH!

As Proteus tries to kick Butlertype, the Butler quickly grabs his leg, shoves his own elbow into it and then hauls Proteus directly in front of the Knight Beam fire!

Drrrgh! Meddling pest!

From the ground to Butlertype's left rises Delta, who after failing to hit his surprise attack, immediately tries to use a Dark Spinning Bird Kick, which is parried until the last hit, which Butler barges through using a Breaker Type, kicking Delta aside... but not fast enough to stop Proteus from locking a full nelson on Butlertype!

Urgh! Unhand me, you brute!
Not a chance.

As soon as Proteus utters these words, a searing Revolution Sword lashes Butlertype's chest, as it then speeds up, striking him consecutively in even more areas faster and faster!

Where is your false bravado now!?

Proteus chucks Butlertype in the air, where he is struck with the recoil of three Rising Spines, but as Butler goes into freefall he is then stomped on by a Halo-breaking Yosokyaku from Delta, who then continues to combo into a Darkness Hyakkuratsu!

Urgh!!

Butlertype is knocked senseless by the punch, but before he can hit the ground..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

Proteus strikes Butlertype down with a Magna-Fury Impact,, creating a gigantic explosion across the entire area!!

---

Knight Beams (Energy/Cutter)- Galacta Knight fires an ethereal ranged energy blade shaped akin to a sword. The more health the user has, the more damage it does.
Revolution Sword (Laser/Swift)- ??? fires a fast, yet deadly beam whip that directs in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and destroys barrier-surfaces, as well as changing into Flame instead of Laser and/or Impact instead of Swift necessary.
Dark Spinning Bird Kick (Shadow/Swift)- Surrounded by a shadowy, damaging (even with those to resistances, immunities, and affinities to darkness) energy, Delta in an upside-down position kicks his opponent several times in a helicopter-like position. Each kick is several times more powerful than the last.
Rising Spine (Swift/Electric)- Galacta Knight calls forth a mystical batch of lightning which rains down on the opponent.
Yosokyaku - Delta footstomps the opponent in the head with a single leg. Can be cancelled into other attacks.
Magna-Fury Impact (???/Impact)- Proteus, imbued with vast rage power, generates a colossal amount of energy with an extremely powerful, unblockable, unavoidable, shockwave and explosion-indusing, physical attack. Has a 100% chance of Critical Hitting, and on contact reduces the target's physical stats to the upmost minimum, and locks them there until the end of the battle. Negates immunities, resistances, or affinites.

Seriously!? How does this keep happening!?
They're the least of our problems now, anyway. We should be focused on the main enemy at this point.
Yeah... Buttlord-type. Humbling him right now is our main priority.
Shouldn't be too much of an issue. If blind-boy can beat his daylights out on his own, I'm pretty sure all...

Big Eye pauses.

Onetwothreefourfi--
There's eight of us.
Yeah we curbstompin' that mo'fka.

Big Eye continues to rap a verse while Soul begrudgingly opens up a Space Orb.

We can't be sure it'll be as simple as finding him as beating him. But it ends here. That much is for sure.
ANTE UP! What? my whole family nuts, run up yo' stash house, tie granny up...
... (What's he singing?)
Tell ya when you're older, kiddo...

The Space Orb closes.

And, neither of them. No one will gain anything from this battle the further things will go along.
How dare you try and tell me that! I'll have my revenge, and there's nothing you can do about--!

Ultra Man Deluxe sticks an arm in front of Rainbow Man Eternal.

How can we be so sure this is true? That this isn't some sort of ploy?
Well, why heal everyone if I didn't plan on helping everyone?
...

Defteros looks towards the rest of Team Prototype, Mech-tenant, and A. Rock.

But... I am curious. Did anyone try to explain to them the situation before resorting to fighting?
Uh.....
There's no need to explain anything. They're aligned with Butlertype. A terrorist. A criminal. That alone is plenty reason for us to fight.

Prototype steps forward to Defteros.

We owe them nothing. There is no reason to treat them with any regard.
You mean the same regard you were shown after you changed?
That's entirely different.
Contextually speaking, perhaps. But the underlying point stays the same. We don't know who they are. So there's no reason for us to be so dismissive so early~.
...
You have had a chance. And you've done great things! So I think they should get a chance too. ...Pretty please?

...Despite the things he has seen, despite any blockage of morale... There's always something frighteningly infectious about Defteros' attitude... and I don't like it.

Prototype reverts to normal.

Have it your way. But if we're led astray by these people, there'll be consequences.
Poopycock, my good man! I am positive our new friends are
they're gone.

Rainbow Man Eternal, Ultra Man Deluxe, Extenguish Man Deluxe, and Melody are all missing without a trace.

YOU STUPID--
Ahp, ahp, ahp!

A finger is held to Soul's mouth.

Chances first!

!
No way...! Both of our moves!?
H-how is that even possible?... I never expected him to do that.
...
Okay, I don't think I need to see you guys to know that you mooks are sucking up to your boss again.
This has nothing to do with him.

While Soul is confused, the real person responsible speaks, using an index finger on both hands to block both Ultra Man's and Rainbow Man's punches, seperately.

Phew~! I was worried someone would get hurt bad before I got here!
...
Hmmm.
Oh. Joy. I recognize that voice from anywhere.

Ultra Man Deluxe instinctively jumps back.

...How? How is this possible?
Drgh.. He just got lucky, is all!
You two are strong. I like you guys! My name's Defteros. What are your names?
Ugh... Our names aren't what's important at this point!

Defteros pauses at Ultra Man Deluxe's comment... and then snaps his fingers.

Yes... oh, how rude I was. I forgot to heal everyone back to normal!
You won't be doing that. My Skill prevents all enemies from using support abilities on their comerades!

Defteros taps into a large power, and everyone on the battlefield is immediately restored to their natural state.

...
...Ooh... I snapped again, didn't I?
I can see again. But I refuse to be happy about it.
Good. Because we're not the only guys who got a little boost.

Seeing this, Soul looks over to Ultra Man Deluxe...

Even me... although I can't feel the pain of attacks at the moment, I can tell that any battle damage I've taken has been reversed... why..?
Not why... how.
Well... for starters... I'm not your enemy.

Soul facepalms.

A. Rock dizzily gets up, awoken by Rainbow Man Eternal's screams.

Ergh... okay, who forgot to who's diapers?

A. Rock then double takes upon seeing Rainbow Man Eternal and his newfound strength.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH!!!
He's trying to say he needs them changed. Forgive him, he's a big kwanky-wanky baby.
Yeah, but he's a strong baby. We don't have any way to stop him!
You can't, and you won't. It's over, now. Besides... he's not the only one getting stronger.
...It doesn't matter how strong you get. Victory is determined by what you're fighting for and how hard you're willing to fight for it.
Eheheh... I bet you won't say that after we're BOTH through with you! Although I'm the only person that matters.
(As tough as "Prototype" may be, this is beyond what he can do. He can't fight against the both of them at the same time.)

Prototype equips a buster in one arm.

Try me.

Rainbow Man Eternal and Ultra Man Deluxe both give each other short glances, and then look back at Prototype.

YOU'LL REGRET EVER PICKING A FIGHT WITH ME!
I wish it didn't have to come to this!
I STILL CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!

Prototype prepares an attack, but..!

W-what the!?
!

Two figures watch the surrounding meteors pass.

...*sigh*. Thank gosh filming for the latest season is finally over. I was beginning to get a little... tired of it.
Grrrh.
I'm not complaining, okay? I just think I'm entitled to a little breathing room every now and then... even if it's in a place were we technically shouldn't be able to breathe in the first place.

The taller figure looks up.

But I know by the time we'll meet with staff again, I'll be pumped. So no worries there...
....

The smaller figure suddenly starts acting erratically...

Grrrrrrr....
Huh? You pick up on something, Sanga--
(!)

The first figure quickly stands up, putting their guard up as well.

That... energy... It's just like that of my Star Power... and it's getting higher even faster!
...
....
......Eh.

The first figure sits back down. Annoyed, the second one growls, tugging at the larger figure, all the while pointing at Earth.

!
Yeah, yeah, I get it. So what? We're on break. And I'm pretty sure the earth can handle itself without us...

---

Butlertype quickly tries to use a defensive ability to block, but is too late and is struck by all three of his pursuers simultaneously, crashing straight towards the ground.

Yeah... how do you like that, you bad... robot... guy!
HEY!

As the dust begins to clear, Delta looks to an extremely unhappy Proteus, who points at Delta.

I remember you. YOU'RE the one who attacked me when I was at my lowest. I'll deal with YOU after him. Now back away from that bootleg wannabe..
Ngh... takes one to know one...
SHUT UP!
No... this scoundrel is MY prey and MINE alone.

Delta and Proteus then look towards Galacta Knight, who is behind Butlertype. Proteus quakes in frustration.

...
Ugh, SERIOUSLY!? Is EVERYONE who's ever wanted a piece of me after this guy, too!?
Unlike either of you pretenders, I have business here. It is by the very President's will that I have been sent to neutralize this "Butlertype".
Then he should have sent you over when he had the chance. Because I'm not idling by and letting him spend a second longer putting anyone else in danger!

While the three argue, Butlertype stands up. This gains all of their attention simultaneously, as Butlertype wipe lubricant from his eye.

Unfortunately, all three of you are mistaken.
...Mistaken...?
Yes. Be it three or three hundred, you all are no match for me. Simply put... my abilities are far above what you can muster at your current levels.
You talk tough, but you won't be singing the same tune when this is over.
YEAH!...
...Except not because of him.
I care not the amount of friends, nor foes. It changes nothing. The end result will always be my wrath!

Galacta Knight charges straight for Butlertype...

Soul stumbles back, but quickly regains his composure.

You miscalculated. I don't need sight to wipe the floor with you.

He wipes his torso region.

I've been in more troublesome positions than this and I've still come out on top. It ain't over until

---

♫ Character Select - Super Smash Bros. (SilvaGunner) ♫
It's over, Rainbow Man. You're done.
Yet not... YET NOT...!

Rainbow Man clenches his fists as as Prototype draws near, with the prideful colored robot managing to put up his arms and block the oncoming fatal blow.

!?
Y-you... no... tell me... WHEN I'M DOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!

Prototype instinctively uses Protect, but Rainbow Man rushes behind him, grabbing his leg and zipping back towards the ground, slamming Prototype against it, and then tossing him aside, powering up right after!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From aside, everyone else, including Rainbow's own allies, catch wind of his battle cry along with his additional power increase.

(Dammit, no! He's forcing himself back into his Spectrum Mode prematurely!)
...Wait... something's not quite right about his transformation this time...!
Dunno what you mean. Looks like the same cliched macho-man power fantasy escalation trip to me.
Harmony. Now's not the time to complain about how one-note these sequences are. Take a closer look at him...
...

Harmony glares harder at Rainbow Man Eternal, all the while, stars begin to twinkle from his body...

He's... ascending past his programmed capabilities with sheer force of will. With a little time, he'll probably be on-par with... that technique.
(That technique!?)
(That technique!?)

WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHO THE HELL IS YELLING!!!
(This isn't good.)

Prototype reverts to normal, and then after doing so gains a different blue aura.

(Every time he makes another jump in power is another chance of us pulling through fading away. I have to stop him before he can get any stronger.)

Prototype flies straight for Rainbow Man, but something quickly jumps in the way!

I can't let you do that, pal.
?

Prototype uses Breaker Type to Super Armor past a Red Roundhouse from Ultra Man Deluxe, and them grabs him, following up with several consecutive knees to the stomach, but Ultra Man Deluxe breaks free, and then looks at Prototype seemingly unharmed.

Heh. No pain, but definitely still gains. I'll admit you're pretty strong... but it won't be long before you and your crew is overwhelmed.
...Mondays.

(Alright. After assessing this guy's strength, I can only come to one conclusion...)
Ugh. Just call it quits already so you can be put out of your misery. Even looking at you gives me a headache.

Extenguish Man gains a second win, and begins pummeling at Soul's face, with Soul showing no signs of being repelled or surprised.

Wha-- this again? You know your mustached loser of a boss tried this too, right?
(I stand little-to-no chance against him as we both are. But it's that very fact that will help me claim victory. Right now, he probably thinks of me as some kind of joke... but...
That is it! You have forced me to use my "special weapon!"

Extenguish suddenly pulls out a red, large cyllinder device, pointing it at Soul.

...Bruh.mp4
That's right. Cower. Anyone would if they knew they were about to lose to this. My Deluxe Never-Lose Trump card.
AIN'T THAT A QUIRK? *OW!*
IT'S A FIRE EXTINGUISHER! IT'S LITERALLY JUST AN OVERSIZED FIRE EXTINGUISHER!

Soul's irritation suddenly changes, developing into a smug look.

...Heh.

You know what? Fine. I don't even need Limbo to show him his dumb gimmicks don't mean squat.

NOW PREPARE... FOR MY SUPER EXTENGUISH SPRAY DELUXE!

Extenguish Man presses a switch, as a foam begins to spray at Soul, who stands nonchalantly against it.

(Your strength is clearly your greatest curse. It'll be the one thing that forces you into defeat!)
...
...Was that supposed to hurt?
...No. But it was supposed to blind you and give me the upper hand. And thanks to your arrogance, you clearly took the bait and fought it head on when you could have easily avoided it.
W-what!?

...Of course. A bluff. Gotta say, he puts on a nice act, but as soon as I get this dumb thing away from--

...

Soul tries to clear his eyes of any more of the mysterious compound gas, but it still remains...

You've probably figured it out by now, haven't you? That stuff covering your eyes... it's the real deal. And now that your sight has been neutralized...

Soul listens in on Extenguish Man's voice, and tries to pinpoint him with a sharp straight at the air.

Gh!

Extenguish Man counters with a strong angled boot into Soul's gut, stopping him dead in his tracks!

It's over. You've lost any chance of victory against me.

---

Extenguish Spray (Weapons/Wind)- Extenguish Man's signature weapon, containing strange compound chemicals which allow multiple types of sprays with different variants to be used.

...

Proteus attempts to fly after Butlertype in quick pursuit, but slowly loses any edge in speed.

Dammit.... you steal my weapons... you insult my being... and then you have the nerve to run away...?
Hell no! I'm not letting you get away from me. Shields or bare fists, I don't care! YOU'LL REGRET PISSING ME OFF!

Rage

A red, flaming energy surrounds Proteus!

I'M TAKING YOU DOWN! AND THAT'S FINAL!

Gaining a surplus of speed along with an immense boost in his fit of anger, Proteus lunges for

---

Butlertype is suddenly spotted soaring through the air by Delta, who also happens to be flying by.

Ahah! That's him all right! Now, let's see how he likes it when he's the one on the receiving end!

Delta bursts with energy, before charging straight ahead at

---

Butler suddenly senses two strong energies quickly closing in on him on both sides!

! These fierce powers!

Quickly looking into the left and the right, he soon realizes the identities of his pursuers.

(Hnnnn. Such linear approaches. I'll simply dart upwards and let those fools collide--)

Butler! Above you!

Above!?

Butler quickly looks in the air, seeing nothing... but a second later...

*generic smash-bros twinkle*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....!
Z-zounds!

Butler quickly braces for impact, as all three ambushers cra

heehee autmoate nyuk nyuk nyuk

(D-damn! I didn't think his Sei's perception would be good enough to perceive even that!)

Rainbow Man Eternal plummets towards the ground...

---

---

The aura around Prototype slowly amasses, fading back into him as he lunges downwards towards Rainbow Man Eternal with his Breaker Type!

Checkmate.

Prototype's Super Armored fist flies towards Rainbow Man Eternal...

(Some thing got to do.. SOME THING GOT TOS DO!!)

---

WOO!

Ultra Man Deluxe quickly sprints from side to side, avoiding a barrage of Instantaneous Laser Buster fire.

Come on! You've gotta do better than that to hit me!
Just how fast is this guy?
Don't worry! I'll show you guys just how much less bite than bark this guy's made of!

Big Eye springs into action, diving directly towards Ultra Man Deluxe!

HYAAAAAH!
Head on, huh? Game on!

Ultra Man Deluxe draws a fist back, as it begins to sprout large flames!

Mada mada!

The bottom of Big Eye suddenly sprouts spikes as it closes in on Ultra Man.

...Uh... do-over??

Before Big Eye can land a satisfying Spiked Stomp on Ultra Man Deluxe, something tackles the latter out of harm's way.

Teme...!
Ugh. Can you not keep toying with these guys? Butlertype sent us here for a reason.
Relax! I'm only trying to get some fun out of this.

Danger Bombs from above force the two to quickly flee to uninhabited ground.

Oh, sure. Because nothing says "fun" like being smothered with instakill spikes.
I had it covered--!

Ultra Man Deluxe is suddenly pelted with a direct Elec Beam from Laser Joe!

Defteros zooms through the air, through the power of his nanotech wings.

(...I don't quite know where everyone else is, but I can feel the violence going on. I believe in them, but I also have a feeling something very dangerous may happen.)
(...I have to hurry. I need to diffuse the situation before someone-- anyone-- gets hurt.)

Defteros' speed accelerates, as they break several dozens more barriers of speed.

You little-- quit being a pain in the and fight!
That's a problem? I thought someone of your preferences would be used to that kinds of pain.
DRRRRGH! (No. He's just trying to get a rise out of me. I'm better than that, and I'm better than him. And I'll prove it.)

After a few seconds, Rainbow Man Eternal visibly calms down.

...But since you're so eager for a beatdown, I'll oblige you. But rest assured. It'll end the same way as before.
Tch! You have no idea just how wrong you are!

Rainbow Man Eternal bolts towards Prototype, letting loose an explosive right, but Prototype brushes it away, and then proceeds to twist and maneuver his upper body, preventing contact with the countless amount of punches coming his way, blocking those he may find unavoidable.

What's wrong? Afraid of fighting back? And here I thought I'd find a challenge!!
Don't misunderstand, you'll get that and more.

Rainbow Man has an ability which can negate additions to a person's physical attributes. As pompous as he is, he may be waiting for an attempt to plow throw his attacks with Super Armor so he can hit me with it.

As Rainbow Man winds up, then lets loose with his Several Stars' Exploding Eventide Tint Array. Prototype parries one after another impact, but the sheer force of the last one swarms into him and knocks him high above the ground.

---

Gravity still hasn't done its thing yet... All of his attacks are so absurd it's ridiculous. Where did Butlertype find people like this...?

Prototype regains control of himself, but still the last attack lifts him higher and higher into the sky, much to his astonishment. Quickly, he glances aside, leading to him parrying a surprise attack from Rainbow Man Eternal in the air.

You're beginning to bore me, you know. I'll bet even Butler would be a better fight than this.

Rainbow Man Eternal begins to dashdance, and then later wavedash (somehow in) midair at high frequencies all around Prototype, who attempts to strike at him twice, but only hits afterimages.

Looks like you're not as special as I thought. You're just a weakling who relies on luck.
...Alright, then. How lucky would this be?

Still in the air, Prototype flips his body upside-down, and kicks the air below him, which turns out to reveal the REAL Rainbow Man, who was too fast to be seen!

URGH!

---

Several Stars' Exploding Eventide Tint Array (Space/Crystal)- Rainbow Man Eternal winds up, and then extends his fists, releasing a very large number of extremely large fist-shaped projectiles which barrage immediately barrage onto the target and hit them with their weakness (If by chance their weakness has been removed, they will still take damage as though it were their weakness). If they do not have a weakness, this attack does Neutral-Core damage equal to that of if the target were hit with their weakness. The final strike of this attack cannot be evaded, parried, or countered by defensive means.

As Soul reappears, Extenguish Man quickly targets him with two dual Saver Saws. Soul stands completely still, waiting until the last moment.

...
*un-techniques*
What-!?
(I see. Looks like he isn't fit to utilize that kind of ki after all.)

Soul jumps away from the slash, and tries to swing at Extenguish Man, who ducks and leaps back. still at a closer range Extenguish fires more Hose Mortars, but Soul punches the air in front of them, causing them to disperse.

Okay, WH

---

What gives? Why'd he lose that aura-thingy?

Scale scratches his head.

Out of... research, I can at least speculate that the energy he tried to harness wasn't compatible with his body-- specifically in this case, mind-- which caused said mind to reject it.
It was only a matter of time before this happened. I don't think either of you are... capable... of doing that anyway.
Wait, me? But I don't fight! What does this have to do with me?
...
...Hmmm... that's a good question, future wife. Anyway--
DON'T change the subject. What about that is so bad that it affects me, too?
....Well. Let me try and put this in the most sensitive, light-hearted, and inoffensive way I can.

Scale inhales, and then exhales.

You guys are both about as calm-hearted as a pack of raging rabies-inflicted hyenas on fire.
...

Pop turns around to punch a wall, but--

Are you serious? You can't do that. You'll dislodge your endo's ar--

She instead redirects her fist towards Scale's face.
