A fast-dashing blur steadly screeches to a halt... being Somatic.

...

The three heroes pursuing him stop from behind seconds later as well. In front of them is a large gated building, with moyai-like heads resembling Koopenstein and Bowser. Smashing the two doors open, they run inside...

So this is-a-where Koopenstein, Bowser, and-a-so many others were plotting.
It-a-certainly has his.... aesthetic.
......
Traversing around this maze of a base would be a waste of the little time it takes. Directly upwards is the main lab. That is where Koopenstein AND a certain counterpart would come up with their plans.

After a few seconds, Somatic comes to an abrupt halt, squating, and then thrusting upwards, his sudden increase in momentum creating a shockwave, which Somari sidesteps, Tailigee hovers away from, and Yoshles guards himself from. Somatic barrels through floor after floor, crashing by one ceiling after another.

Ol' Metalhead for ya. He was-a-never one to beat around the bush... I guess some things-a-really do never change.
(If you're done being nostalgic, then I'll give you two a boost up. I'll investigate around here... I have a hunch there's more around here than we may think.)
Sure, but-a-watch yourself. We can't be too-a-careful that there aren't any traps here, even if-a-not made by Somatic.

Yoshles nods. Tailigee and Somari both jump towards him in ball form, with the dinosaur swiftly spiking the two upwards, sending them twirling through floor after floor...

---

On their way up, Somari and Tailigee return upright as they soar upwards, getting ready to land at any minute.

Koopenstein-a-clearly had plans... but all of the sudden, it was-a-like he and any trace of him vanished off-a-the Earth. That's-a-very unlike him... what if he's-a-taken more time to plot something extra dangerous?
...
...That just-a-means one point extra to the butt-kicking tally. We've-a-beat him before, and we'll do it again if we-a-have to! That's-a-the way it is!

Somari does a peace sign at Tailigee, who gives a thumbs up, but the two then hear an explosion upwards at where they're headed.

...Is that-a-supposed to happen!?

Woo!!
And that's how it's done!

The Six Majin and Six Machine promptly lose power after de-merging, forcing Joe to somersault off of the latter machinery, landing right in front of Jet Black.

There are a million and more things I want to say to you, Joe. But I'll keep things simple for now...

Jet Black extends his hand, as Viewtiful Joe looks down on it.

Well done on taking Alastor down. I remember when you used that thing against me.
Heheh.

Gripping each other tightly, the two heroes slap arms into a firm handshake.

Give yourself a bit more credit, old man. If you didn't pave the way for me first, I might not have gotten the job done at all!
Very well. Then I guess you'll have to settle for this occasion being a team effort.

The duo separate.

Now, then.... come with me. I believe we have a lot of catching up to do.

---

...
See? What'd I tell you?
Shut up.

Arms to his hips, Will Smith sighs.

Maybe you were on to something. I overreacted when the crisis didn't call for it and was on the verge of robbing the two of this moment... Perhaps I shouldn't be so quick to interfere in any crisis.
Yeah. You gotta learn to relax, man. Not everything is going to threat space and time. Certainly not Alastor.
In retrospect, that's obvious. But you know just as well as I do that this universe is called the "Chaos Zone" for a reason.

---

Somatic twitches with anger, putting Somari, Tailigee, and Yoshles on edge... but abruptly stops. He raises his head upwards to the three.

I'll tear you to shreds another time, imposter. But there are more important things that need attending to.
Save-a-the spiel for another time, Tin Man. You still haven't clued us in on-a-what happened to Koopenstein.
Hmph! (Well? what's he planning, then?)
......

Robotically folding his arms and turning around, Somatic finally responds.

Not even I know his exact location... I was created with the ability to map and track his location at all times... somehow, he must be able to mask his signal to the point where I am unable find him.
Then how are we-a--
That having been said... I still have access to his original hideout's location.
....

He cranes his head back to the trio.

If you fools are that persistent in getting your closure with Koopenstein, then I shall lead you.... I also have grievances with my creator.

Thrusters appear on Somatic's back, and he flies off.

Think he's for real?
Probably. I wouldn't-a-put it past him to lie... but he seems-a-serious enough about what he says.
Hnnnnngh! (We can hear him out, but nothing more! He's already tricked one of us before.)
....

Rolling his eyes, Somari dashes off. Yoshles and Tailigee follow.

(Fight's Finish) ♫ Yugioh OST 147 The Fang of Critias (HQ) ♫

With a great push upwards, Alastor manages to shove the Majin's body away. He floats upwards, staring the piloted mech in the eyes.

Joe... Surely if you were hiding a secret weapon like this, it would've been useful before... why the hell are you only using it now!?
Both times, I wasn't in such a good place in the ol' gnoggin.

---

---

But I've learned that none of those things matter in the slightest... not when you have the will to fight.

Once again, the angered archfiend bursts with electricity, this time far more than ever.

URGH!! Gag me with a spoon! You'll still lose!!

Summoning two blades, he grabs and raises both of them in the air. He cackles with lightning as thunderbolts and sweeping winds fill the space around his swords...

ULTRA ALASTOR STINGER RAI Mach-Mach-Mach Speed.

SxS Majin simply punches through Alastor's preparations. The sheer speed of his increased Mach-Speed causing him to create dozens of afterimages, each wailing into Alastor Silmuntaneously with a Beauty is Born kicks comboed into Groovyreppas!

Urk!!
I can use VFX abilities for however long I want in this state... It's Joever, Alastor.

Each afterimage fades into Joe one by one, giving him an even higher surplus of firepower as he quickly charges up energy in both of his hands, increasing by a mile's wide diameter each second!

DOUBLE.... DESPERADOOOOO!!!

Alastor, already too stunned to advance in Dou, tries at the last moment to push back the attack from The Six x Six Majin, but instantly fails. The blast consumes him, regardless of his attempts to resist.

AGGGGGHHH!!!

Alastor tries to fly downwards to make it towards the SxS, but his wings are destroyed in the crossfire. Slowly, his body is eaten away at.

Nnn...!!! This isn't over, Joe! It never will be! I'll come back stronger than ever, and you'll--
And I'll be ready like I used to. You won't be getting the drop on me again... not if you ever bother coming back.

The output of the attack triples, firing off into the distance after consuming Alastor whole... and then disappates, leaving nothing left.

---

Beauty is Born (Crystal/Cutter) Joe, with a pink, cutting aura around them, spins his body horizontally in the air, using his legs as fans damaging the target.
Groovyreppa (Speed/Impact)- Joe does three consecutive Groovy Uppercuts, the third one turning into a flaming, spiraling punch which is a guaranteed Critical Hit.
Double Desperado (Laser/Flame)- Six-X-Six Majin fires two laser-cannon like laser beams in both of his hands, in a bid to devastate the target. gains +300% efficiency in beam struggles and has a 99% chance to OHKO.

I tried to be the bigger man metaphorically... but you just won't listen, so I'll do it literally.
Cute. But being bigger doesn't make you better or stronger... even a monkey brain like you should know that.
That's true... though I think you'll find that I'm all three of those things right now.

Alastor opened his mouth as if to try and retort, but was cut off immediately as the SxS Majin introduced its fist across Alastor's entire body. Stunned, Alastor regenerates quickly, but is hammered back into his previous state and moreso!

Mach Speed!
!!?

the SxS Majin'S arms become blurs as Alastor is socked back and force, and then shortly after knocked back countless miles with a shock-wave inducing hook. The red mecha leaps up into the air, and into the clouds...

Red Hot Kick!

Smothering Alastor with a fiery, robotic boot, doing immense damage while making the earth beneath them shake!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!!
Joe!
!?
I was able to mitigate the Black Film with the power of the Oscar, but it'll take time for it to fully erode. Don't worry about looking cool and reverse his mutated state! If he can build up enough Dou from this, it'll be useless!
(It's true... I don't feel his power dropping anymore. He might actually grow stronger from this!)

The Majin mech is suddenly alerted as it feels something pushing against it's foot... slowly, but surely, Alastor begins to rise, hoisting said foot of the Six x Six with his arms.

D-don't think.. it'll be... that easy!

---

Red Hot Kick (Flame/Swift)- Viewtiful Joe attacks from midair with a flying kick surrounded by burning flames, absorbing any and all moisture as well as heat in the process.
Mach Speed (Speed/Flame)- The user uses their VFX power to greatly increase their movement and attack speed, as well as giving them enough velocity to generate several attacking afterimage instantaneously.

Alastor shuts his eyes for a few moments, gathering himself. both Viewtiful Joe and Jet Black stare at him intently.

Heh.... there's no end to the surprises... not with either of you. And you know? As much as it bothers me to be proven wrong so many times, I'm kinda grateful for it.
...
However... I have it on good authority that I still have more than enough power to snuff the both of your lights out. So unless you have any last-minute tricks...
Funny you mention.

A mech of gigantic stature suddenly drops down besides Viewtiful Joe, creating a heap of swirling dust... Joe's Six Majin.

HMPH!

---

Alastor isn't someone that Joe can beat with the Six Majin... what in the dickens is he thinking?
....

---

Hah! This isn't your real ace in the hole. I know better than to underestimate you at this stage...
Still, I want to prove my definitive superiority over you. So pull out all the stops in your arsenal just as your old man did... I'll take you down nonetheless.

Still on the ground, Jet Black's eyes widen as he sees Viewtiful Joe's glowing V-Watch. He and Alastor watch Viewtiful Joe strikes a zesty pose, pumping his V-Watch hand into the air.

I didn't use this in either of our recent fights... but I'll admit, I don't think I could take you on without it.
!?
Wait... could he be doing what I think he's doing!?

Both Joe and the Six Machine as well as the Six Majin glow white. the Six Machine Joe standing on, slowly morphs into a small spacecraft, rapidly flying towards the the Six Majin...

Alriiight~! Six Machine! Six Majin! You ready for this?!
TOUH!

The machinery within Six Majin morphs at begins to take on a new shape, growing larger and sturdier than ever... until the light fades, revealing a new mech entirely.

...Sorry to keep you waiting, Alastor! Introducing... the Six x Six Majin!
...
...Very interesting.

---

Six Machine (Typeless) - Viewtiful Joe's (usually) method of transportation. Has six forms, each coming with their own form of weaponry:
Aircraft - A plane-like vehicle that can travel through the air at extremely high velocities.
Submarine - An underwater-traveling device.
Drill - A grounded, wheeled vehicle with a large, piercing drill in its front.
Car - A fast, car-like vehicle that traverses through the ground at great speeds.
Desperado - A lethally powerful laser cannon capable of immense destruction.
???

Six Majin (Typeless)- A gigantic, powerful robot that can be summoned and remote controlled by Viewtiful Joe, piloted by the Six Machine. Has all of Viewtiful Joe's abilities and more.

Six x Six Majin (Typeless)- A merge between Viewtiful Joe's Six Machine and Six Majin, with Viewtiful Joe outside. 6 times larger and 666 times stronger than the original Six Machine, and has infinite VFX usage.

♫ (VJ's Comeback) 08 Joe's Theme Piano Version (Viewtiful Joe Anime OST) ♫

What.... WHAT!?
J-Joe...!! You're....!?
...What in the fresh hell are you doing here!? Have you lost your damn mind!?

Viewtiful Joe briefly looks back at Jet Black, and as he does, his expression goes from smug to stern, yet gentle.

It's okay, pops. You don't have to worry about me. I know full well what I'm doing, but... I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't do this.
...son...
I'm surprised you're able to live with yourself at all... coming to fight when you've lost so many times. A total embarrassment.
And here I thought even a crappy guy like you had the guts to understand. I'd say you're the embarrassing one here.

Alastor scowls, irritated more and more from Viewtiful Joe's wisecracks.

Grh... it seems like I hit you with one too many hits to the head. You've grown delusionaal.
Dang... you really are rubbing off on me, huh?
That's it! You should've laid low, because this time you'll STAY dead!

He summons a blade each in both hands, darting straight towards Joe!

JOE!!

---

Dammit, not again!

Will Smith attempts to exit, but is stopped by an arm, which bumps into his chest.

Hollup... let him cook.
Let him--!! Are you crazy!? We already let Joe "cook" against Alastor! Twice! And he's even more outclassed now than he was either of these times! As it stands, it's like asking for him to get killed for real!
We've already seen enough disaster happen on and on. I won't turn a blind eye to it no more. You got tha--
Will!!

John Cena's sharp yell silences Will Smith for the time being. Cena takes the opportunity to continue.

...Will. I agree that the situation here is dire... but this matter is more personal to Joe and Jet than it is to you or me... and I think to butt in right here would be depriving the both of them of their own closure.
This excuse sounds real familiar...

Cena folds his arms.
I ain't sayin "let 'em die". If something happens, you can turn back the clock easily. Your "New Rewind Time" is more than powerful enough to stop any trickey.
.....

Will sighs.

...So be it. I'm not keen on idling by, but I'll wait until there's a decisive outcome.

---

Alastor's fierce swings tears through...

...nothing. Joe backflips away from Alastor's attacks, doing corkscrew manuevers in the air with his agility. He lands on his Six Machine.

(He avoided Alastor's attack!)
(That... should be nothing short of impossible. He couldn't do anything without tapping into the same power as me. I don't feel any Mach Speed, Slow, or Zoom. He's not tapping into the power of Dou or the technique of Sei.)
(What exactly changed between then and now... and could that change be the reason he's so confident!?)
I'm sorry, Master Oogway... at that time, I didn't understand what inner peace meant. I forsook your teachings, and flew into hatred. Totally not rad of me, dude.

Viewtiful Joe's V-watch begins to sparkle. A giant mecha's figure can be seen approaching in the distance.

But I'll make things right. I'll prove that neither you nor anyone was wrong to believe in me.

---

Hel Vortex (Shadow/Wind)- Alastor does a forward dashing (Diving if in midair) spinning attack, consuming himself in dark energy and rapidly gaining momentum.

... (I can't even move... I've exhausted too much energy.)
(Blast it all... If only I wasn't so overly cautious...!!)
GG. But at the end of the day, this outcome was inevitable...

An electrical, turbulent combination of darkness, wind, and lightning surrounds Alastor...

Give Joe my regards from the mortal realm.

Alastor charges straight for Jet Black, this time preparing another Hel Vortex....
but is then kicked out of the attack!?

!!?
If you got something to say to me...
...Go ahead and say it yourself.

Wait, so there's no Trio!? Well, that's ANOTHER loose end I'll have to tie up when I get there.

Anyway, I'll be going on a trip somewhere soon, so I'll probably go back to being inactive for a bit. But after that, I'll wrap up this plot for sure, and hopefully pick up the pace from there.

---

Jet Black is able to predict a horizantal swing from Alastor, avoiding it... and unfortunately taking a roundhouse kick to the torso as well.

There's no reason in hiding it anymore, since you can't prevent it... you're getting weaker as well.
How can that be possible! I'm completely fine, aren't I!?
Alastor... when I said my goal would be to eradicate entirely... I wasn't talking about you.

---

---

...
I see... so I'll lose these powers... eventually... that kinda pisses me off....
...Still, our positions aren't interchangeable. Not even close. With enough Dou, I can surpass this state all on my own, even without the Black Film!
On the flipside, we have you... you can't keep up with my true power without the Rainbow Oscars, and using VFX powers drains you even more. You can try your odds at using Sei again, but good luck. My analytical skills are unrivaled, and I've seen many who used that technique again.


Alastor smugly rubs his chin, staring at Jet Black. The two float in the air, slowly descending towards the ground.

So how exactly are you in any position to talk, here? As you are now, I have an overwhelming advantage. I've figured out and seen through everything you have at your disposal. You have nothing left... unless that's what you want me to think?
....
...No, I can tell. You're at the end of your rope. Fun while it lasted, but from here on out, you're little more than a waste of oxygen.

Alastor flies headfirst down towards Jet Black. The white warrior can barely react to Alastor's movements, but it's unfortunately not enough to escape an Ultra Violet Kick to the face.


Damn...!
...It...

Jet Black's crash into the ground makes a thundering impact, creating heaps of dust flying every which way. By simply flapping his wings forward, Alastor manages to create a wind strong enough to blow it away.

(If only I could have used the full power of the Osars for longer... I could have been able to remove his regeneration and beat him!)

Alastor lands, touching down with the ground.

...

Had this finished days ago, but something forced me to start from zero...

Miscallaneous
Bio: Equipped with a complicated origin, and the gift of gab, Soul is an aloof robot that tends to prefer lazing around over doing anything of real importance. In his possession is the alternate plane of reality known as "Limbo" that allows him to warp from to and fro, as well as manipulate said dimension however he wants. Although Soul has a tendency to take things easy, he has a dangerous side triggered only when his anger is aroused. He joined the tournamnet solely for the purpose of self-entertainment, but perhaps there's more in store for him than he thinks...?

Ending:
Well.. I suppose it was kinda fun beating the crud outta so many people... but now it's just boring. These little Ultra-Doo Hickies don't seem worth the hassle...
Why'd I even participate, anyway!? Everyone knows Tournament Arcs here are dumb. They either don't work out or don't happen. It's a lost cause from the start.
You know what? Screw this. I'm done with this stupid plot, and I'm done with these stupid plot rocks. I'm done!

Soul walks into the nearest alley and tosses all six Ultra Gems inside a dumpster, kicking said dumpster into the deepest, darkest parks and then walking away...

Come to think of it... I'm not even supposed to be here! It makes no sense chronologically! This whole thing was a stupid...

Seconds after Soul's departure, a rumbling noise happens from within the dumpster Soul threw the Gems into... and a figure peers its head right out.

...

---

*Technically there's already a "Soul", but that's from a legacy player, so I doubt there'll be much argument over who is who.

Again, more clues as to the next character in the quotes. If you know, you know.

I'll add in a few bonuses once I've gotten at least one character for every type of Ultra Gem (4/6).

(What the heck...? Wh-where am I all of the sudden? What is this thing!? Am I... alive!?)
(...Okay. Keep calm. One thing at a time... this oxygen mask is keeping me breathing. And I feel... fine somehow... so there's no reason to flip out.)
(The last thing I know that for sure happened was that Alastor got the drop on me. Everything else is a blur.... I was talking with... someone... about... what happened...? Was that even real, or just a dream!?)
(Either way, I don't feel like staying like this for any longer. If Alastor's still out there I have to stop him.... oh, and Dante's probably worried too.)

Joe kicks the Recovery Capsule he's in right open, ripping off his oxygen mask while walking out. Alerted by the invasion, several guards try and restrain him, but Joe effortlessly incapacitates them all with a few simple Kung-Fu moves.

I'm not sure if I can win. But there's one last thing left that I haven't tried... and a single trick in the book is all it takes to make a difference.... but this place looks familiar..

Joe's eyes widen upon spotting a small camera monitor displaying the battle between Jet Black and Alastor.

It makes sense now. Pops! And he's goin' toe to toe with Alastor too!! Awesome power...
...It seems like everyone from back then's only gotten waaaay stronger... while I was only able to get a little bit of training in with Master Oogway... compared to the two of them, I'm lagging behind like hell.
But there's no use dwelling on what I can't change. I'll just have to try and make things right. I still have these two fists of mine... and I'll do everything I can with 'em.

---

The entire area is encapsualed in a bright white light. Only the shilhouettes of Alastor and Jet Black going back and forth through out the battlefield can be seen...

Remarkable, how long you've been able to hold that energy...
However, I can feel it in your strained movements. Your control over that power is slipping, getting weaker... like a flex held too long. Loathe as I admit it, you'll hit your limit any second now.
Ngh. You don't know a single thing about my limits...

Jet Black airdashes at Alastor with his sword, but the latter evades all of his sharp swings...

Don't I? Just because I like a challenge doesn't mean I'm dumb.
Is that so... then in that case, I have a question for you.

Alastor spawns a sword, and then clashes with Jet Black's head on. The light fades...

Didn't you have purple text?
You mean 'don't you have purple text?'
.....
...
What... what the hell did you do?

........
...!!

Well, darn!

...

...Okay I fixed it now. I think. Let me know if not. Thanks!

Ending:

At their own station, Team Prototype discusses the aftermath of the situation. Prototype locks the Ultra Gems down into a safe.

Well. These Gems are finally in safe hands... though, I'm surprised so many people went out of their way to try and obtain them.
This isn't the real end, is it? More and more people will come out looking for them. It'll be a while before this thing blows over...
.....? (So... what do we do?)

Prototype folds his arms.

I think the answer's more than obvious... we'll take the fight to them. Just like we have since day one.
I don't want peace! I want Problems! Always!

An hour later, Team Prototype exits their home base, as countless fighters (some familiar, others not) surround them. Their eyes glint as they all charge forward...

---

I tried to do him justice, but it's been so long since I've ever touched this character... (～￣▽￣)～

Going ahead, I'll put additional quotes in a Google Doc as Pastebin seemingly has a limit on the amount of things I can make. I also snuck in a sneak peak at the next character... another obvious one, but that's because I want to get the most obvious ones out of the way so I can mix things up.

Hee hee heeeee, they'll never find me here~....

So I had a few ideas for characters I never around doing, and I figured there's no time like the present to get to it. For now, I'll get a no-brainer member of the roster out of the way...

Miscellaneous
Bio: Made to be the commanding robot of Dr. Wily's army in a separate timeline altogether, Prototype is a robot that leads the squadron 'Team Prototype', consisting of himself, Laser Joe, Big Eye (upgraded) and Prototype Junior (upgraded Heli Metall). The four have had many escapedes (and for Prototype, in a reincarnated life as an Aggron as well). It can be said in some ways that Prototype is quite similar to Proto MKII, as the Wily Omega even considered him to be a counterfeit. This is furthered by how Prototype shares the very same explosive rage, though baries it underneath his cool and collected front. Perhaps if his allies were not to exist, he would be a mirror of his most hated enemy that he has fought many times before. Prototype has entered the tournament to keep other untrustworthy entities away from a chance at the Ultra Gems. Who knows what might happen if they fall into the right hands?

I get it... I get what you're saying, but... even if I was to go back... what can I do? I've used up everything I had... and Alastor was so powerful that now, I might as well be a joke.
Not yet. You still have one more weapon at your disposal. I can't tell you if it'll be enough... but it's worth a try.

Arms joined together, Jet Black savagely bashes the top of Alastor's head in a groundbreaking fashion.

...
...Not good enough!

Alastor headbutts Jet Black in swift payback, staggering the white warrior. Not slowing down in the slightest, alastor continues with a barrage of non-stop lighspeed-left-and-right haymakers, knocking Jet Black's head back and forth like a relativistic pendulum.

(S-shoot!! Is he already stronger than me!?)
Hit back! I'm in this to fight a real opponent, not a punching bag!

Alastor mixes up his aggressive offense with more and more blows. Jet Black tries to parry them and strike back with his own, but many of Alastor's hits begin to slip through his defense.

Don't tell me I gave you too much cred--
Mach Speed.

Jet Black's aura turns into that of a flaming red as he uppercuts Alastor in the chin as he's speaking, then quickly vanishes into the air to hit a spine-breaking double stomp on Alastor's back, driving him into the ground, stabbing him in place, and them summoning a Danger Beacon hundreds of times larger which devours Alastor whole!

WOAH!
Haaaaaaaah!

In an instant, Jet Black creates hundreds of thousands of tears in the air. countless white balls of energy swarm him, each one doing more than the last.

The only way to get rid of you for sure is to obliterate you entirely. With the time limit imposed on the Rainbow Oscars, I can't afford to waste another second.

---

---

Jet Black's body suddenly goes from white to a spectrum of colors, radiating brightly!

I'll destroy you here and now, even if I have to wager my life on it.

---

Time limit... I see why you were reluctant to back up Black's odds of winning.
Up 'till now, he's been playing it safe, only revealing more and more cards in his hand when absolutely necessary. But he can't beat Alastor unless he goes all out.
I see. So he's takin' a gamble... either he wins and erases Alastor entirely, or loses and gets bodied.
That's the idea.

Cena and Smith continue watching... and then look at each other.

That... and I had a bad feeling about this. My gut says this won't end all that well... but there's only one way we'll know.
...

---

Danger Breach (Shadow/Space)- Jet slashes the air, tearing through space and releasing a dark batch of energy beams that chip away at the user. Cannot be dodged, and quadruples in damage for every successful contact made.
Rainbow Oscar-Powered Variant - Summons much, much more beams that both crit and do super effective-type damage. Ignores resistances, immunities and affinities and cannot be blocked or parried.

♫ (The End... Or The Beginning?) 30 VJ Theme Arranged (Viewtiful Joe Anime OST) ♫

At a small, round, table for two, Joe sits with someone.

So he just kept on growing bigger and bigger no matter how many attacks we launched at him! That what when I decided to call over the Six Majin and show that big oaf what for!
I'm sure that made for an epic battle. As have many other of your adventures.
You could say that. A lot of adventures, a lot of foes, a pretty groovy life. It's been fun. Mostly. Kinda.
I'm amazed. You've grown quite powerful. It's impressive.

Putting an arm behind his head, Joe sighs.

Yeah, well I'd beg to differ there. I was pretty helpless against guys like the Koopalings, Knack, Shake King, and even Alastor... learning martial arts stuff better gave me an edge, but I still couldn't pull through in the end.
Don't put yourself down... you've done the best you can. I'm proud of you. As I'm sure your father likely is as well...
Oh yeah. I kinda forgot about the old man... I wonder what's going on with him. Kind of a relief knowing he's still kicking as we speak...
If only I could feel the same way about you.
Hmmm?
I don't take pleasure in seeing my own son satisfied at his life being cut short. You should be far more concerned about what's happening in the mortal realm without you. Think of Jet.
Fair point... but it is what it is, right? Alastor was too strong for me. Maybe if I coulda gotten stronger I I could've stood up to him. But I didn't. Like you said, I did everything I could.
Besides... he's still got Jasmine out there. And Dante can still kick Alastor's ass for me in the name of vengeance.... they got no need for me out there. Everything's fine in the end.

Joe is slapped square in the face by a backhand.

You're wrong.

Shocked, Joe holds the side of one of his cheeks.

H-huh!? What was that for!?
Look into my eyes, Joe... There is no greater despair a parent can suffer than the feeling of outliving their own child. Your father may act the part of someone strong, but I can guarantee you that the face of your own corpse will haunt him forever. Your battle is far from over.
I don't like what happened either, but what am I supposed to do!? I tried everything I could think of to beat Alastor! None of it worked! I failed Dante, I failed Master Oogway, and I failed everyone else who believed in me!
...
...Speaking of Oogway, I believe he gave you some very powerful words on this very subject...

---

---

It's true things are simply the way they are... but that doesn't mean we lack a say in our own destiny.
You didn't fall because you were meant to perish. You fell because you were meant to rise up again more powerful than ever. Above all else, you need the strength of will to cast all doubts aside head-on.
...
Joe. Freely cast all your cares aside. Do that, and I think you'll see a brighter side... where all your sorrows start to shine.

...

Alastor stands in place for a few seconds, seeming perturbed. Without looking, he quickly extends his left arm, catching a sword before it can make contact with him.

...I was wondering how you managed to avoid such a deadly technique. Now it makes obvious sense.
...
...I take back my snark from before... I don't think I've ever fought anyone more worthy than you..
So come on! Give it everything you've got!
You asked for it.

Tightly balling his hand into a fist, he coats it in a white aura and slams into Alastor's sternum!

Hrk...!!

Alastor quickly returns fire with a right straight aimed straight for Jet Black's face. The white warrior manages to duck under it and then gets bombarded by an electricized elbow.

Ngh!
Hmmm.
(He can anticipate all my defensive manuevers on the fly. Sei won't be as effective.)

Jet Black's eyes return from blue to magenta as he quickly grabs hold of Alastor's horns, striking him with heavy knees to the head rapidly. He attempts ends the combination off with a powerful dropkick, but Alastor grabs hold of both of his legs, slamming him into the ground beneath them, flipping him upside down and grounding him with a piledriver!

Hrnn...!
I know you have more than this, Black...I want you to show me everything!

Alastor receives a boot to the chin, knocking him away as Jet Black hops back to his feet. Alastor quickly gives it back to him with a whopping Thunder Punch hook to the body, but Jet Black bears the pain and strikes Alastor back with a vicious elbow to his temple. Quickly, their skirmish devolves into a savage back-and-forth slugfest of giving and returning pain to one another.

(I can feel him getting drastically stronger with every punch he throws... If I don't end this fast, I won't have a shot at winning at all.)
(.....It won't end that way. I'll stop this cretin before he can harm anyone else.... just like he did to you...

...

Still in a capsule, Joe lingers, floating up and down within the confines of the machine....

You're wrong. This isn't the full extent of my VFX abilities... you'd do well to keep that in mind.
Hnnh. I can't even tell if you're bluffing, or if you're serious. But I guess there's only one way to find out which is which. I'm dying to know.

Black and purple must begin to manifest where Alastor's severed arm was. A four-pronged, claw-like construct forms.

But you, on the other hand... you're just dying.
(He created a weapon from the place I slashed him... probably a side effect of using the Black Film's power....)

Traveling massively faster than before, Alastor flies in Jet Black's direction with barrier-breaking speed, leaving dust for miles behind. At the same time, the ground under Jet Black cracks and explodes, as with explosive momentum he bursts forward as well.

(Fine then.)

A faint glow surrounds Jet Black. Alastor senses it and is alerted...

---

---

Hmph.
!!!

Trails of flame are left behind as Jet Black accelerates more blindingly than ever. The awestruck Alastor is unable to track or process or react to Jet Black's movements in the slightest, and is subject to countless Overshadow Slash attacks simultaneously....

GRK... AAAHK!!! AAAAAAAGH!
You're finished.

Right after tearing his nemesis into countless pieces, Jet Black raises his sword in the air. A geyser-like pillar of light erupts, blasting Alastor upwards into the air.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAA...!!!!
...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! AAHAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
!!?

The blast subsides... and after such, Alastor reveals himself now completely back in tact, and bursting with more power than ever before!

Incredible power... I may have a challenge on my hands after all.
However... you still fell for it... fool!

Alastor crosses his arms. Immediately, a gigantic reservoir of Dou and electricity surges through him. Like lightning himself, he dives downwards and closes the gap between him and Jet Black in an instant!

Sl- THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK!!!

The impact from Alastor's attack creates a staggering earthquake obliterating the ground and creating a canyon all from the single maneuvre.

---

Umbra's Reanimate (Shadow/Recovery)- Using a mysterious dark power, Alastor re-manifests certain parts of his body.
Overshadow Slash (Cutter/Shadow)- Jet Black slices at the opponent quickly with his blade.
Rainbow Oscar-Powered Variant - Much, much faster, much, much stronger, has super armor, and cuts through defenses.
Overshadow (Cutter/Shadow) A thin, yet sharp, strong katana blade made out of the alloy known as Katchin. Does the same amount of damage normally as it would doing super-effective damage.
Danger Beacon (Earth/Light) Jet Black summons geyser-like pillar of light erupts, launching the target above and leaving them vulnerable to additional attacks in the the air.

Thunder Cross Split Attack (Electric/Cutter)- Forbidden Technique. Unblockable, cannot be Parried, covers the entire Field, has 100% Accuracy and always goes first. The user strikes the target from above with an unfathomably power X-shaped melee attack of formed with electricity. 500,000% chance of Inflicting Paralysis.

John Cena, hands on his waist, watches everything between Alastor and Jet Black intently. Will Smith, who is in front of him, seemingly watches as well, with his back turned to Cena.

Welp. If your boy knows what's good for him, he'll bust out those whatchamacallits that you seem so fond of hyping up. Although he's done a alright job of hanging in there without them.
....John.
Uh... Yeah? 'Sup?

Will Smith turns around, arms folded.

I know you, along with Rambo and Segata went away a few months ago to train. What... exactly happened to the two of them?
Probably still well at the grind. They're determined to push back the limitations that's been keeping them from stopping any threat thus far...
Makes sense. And you're not with them why..?
....I think I've made enough progress. I just happened to find my own path to more power faster than they did.... it'll be a long time before I can get any notably stronger than I am now, so I figured I may as well get back to you.
Hah. Sounds to me like you're makin' excuses to slack off. Never figured you for a lazy guy, but at this rate, you'll be the weakest one out of us.
Are you sure about that? I think I'm plenty stronger than all three of you as I am now. Combined.
Plenty what?... Those are dangerous words, John. I hope you can back 'em up...

Auras, one yellow and one purple begin to flow from Cena and Smith as they stare each other down. Their eyes gleam with an unwillingness to compromise, fists clenched... that is, until Will Smith breaks the staredown.

Whatever man, we're getting distracted. We still have to supervise what's happening. And by "supervise", I mean watch the entire thing unfold and provide generic exposition.
Sure. Delay the inevitable. After this is all said and done, I'll gladly pound some sense into--
!!?

John Cena and Will Smith both fall silent, staring at the wreckage they missed.
