...

I DIDN'T GET ANY OF AMBER'S CONTACTS

Something tells me they aren't defusing.

AND THEN THE RAINBOW SHITHEAD COMES BACK! ALL I WANT IS A NICE LITTLE HOUSE IN A SMALL CITY WITH A PET MET AND TO HAVE DARK PAY THE BILLS FOR ME

...

I hate blondes.

...

A small little hover car stops outside...

Alright...here's where the signal is from...


...

...

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY WANTED CRIMINALS FOR THE CONGLOMERATE HERE?

WANTED CRIMINALS? I KNOW I AM BUT...

Well a lot of it was just using indecent language without a license but..

WHAT IS THIS THE MINECRAFT JAVA GUIDELINES?

Well one of you is wanted for..a bit more.

.... THAT'S MY CUE

Trio opens an Omnihole and dissappears into it before it closes!

LATER NERDS

Tiny sighs...

Anyways, I'm Tiny! Highest ranked surviving member of the Balance Conglomerate!

This heartbeat...that name...so you were the other organic that was with Panny there? Is he alive?

Tiny is weirded out...but...shakes his head no...

....
After a minute Doc begins to get him up to speed, and tells him about himself and Dark. Tiny is of course, just like in CZ, in awe when he brings up their escapades in AR.

So...what's with the eyepatch?

Balance standard issue! I don't actually need it...but...I think it looks cool...and makes me `edgy` in light of recent events...

He turns to the others.

So who are you guys? Except you Chord. I recognize you. Sort of.

YA WANNA GO YOU LITTLE FREAKIN LAMP?

Trio dashes over to Plantern, trying to stomp on him.

Ok screw this

Trio opens an Omnihole above the abomination!

I'M STEALIN YOUR SHIT CAUSE YOU CAN'T MAKE DEALS FOR SHIT

Before it can suck up any treasure though it fizzles out

... I'm gettin too reckless for this


Remember when I said you were cute? Scratch that you're all fucking disgusting.

How the fuck...you didn't capitalize Dark's name in SPEECH

Can't have shit in the treasure horde...

Doc and Dark fuse!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Dark Assault, of course


Trio decides he's bored, picks up Dord, and throws him at the wall.

Do I know you?

Trio looks at the big ol Hydraling pile

Man if L was here he'd show ya real fusion...

Trio starts charging energy...?

Doc and R shadow exit the training room, half aware of what happened to the conglomerate.

So...do we....bring this up?

Unless you want to be next, no. Let's just go find Dark, you got his coordinates or whatever right?

Dark sits down, too incredibly tired to bother responding to Zircon.
He charges his weapons...

Doc is kinda weirded out by Zircon casually sitting next to him

I haven't seen Dark purposefully destroy anything in here...except Garnet...

Doc sees the rest of the Hydrakins fusing.

Oh son of a bitch this does not help my self esteem.

I mean look how cool you all look compared to our weird lookin fusion...

Dark is silent and would raise an eyebrow to Doc if he had one.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'VE GOT NO DATA ON ME?

Darks Assault sputters and misses everything, like a machine gun that's been fired for too long.

He prepares another assault...

It's... hard to explain. In basic terms...I worked with the one who destroyed it...

Doc is screaming at Amber while she fuses with Amethyst

PERHAPS, I COULD BE OF ASSISTANCE IN AN EXPLANATION!

The purple hand arises from the pile, before the entire body flies out at blinding speed!
...
It...
Drinks a cup of tea?

YOU MOTHERFACKER

The ONE and only!
BUT WAIT, BEFORE YOU TRY AND KILL ME, HERE ME OUT

It takes...so...so much effort for Doc and Dark not to kill him.

I've realized I've made my mark on history as is...and seen enough suffering while everyone melted into nothing. That was the suffering I wanted to cause but a bit more prolonged...but...uh...after seeing the Genesis Unit...

So you did care about them... Well if you want to redeem yourself if that's even possible...start by killing these gemes.

Trio snaps his fingers!
Reality starts to shake...
...
Trio falls on the ground...

LISTEN YOU SHOULD KNOW SURVIVING CATACLYSM TAKES A HEFTY AMOUNT OF EFFORT THAT I CAN'T AFFORD TO REMUSTER!

Incredibly unamused, Dark fires his assault at Amberthyst

Dark starts whistling as soon as the 4th wall speaker is broken.

Turning towards Jet, Dark speaks

Have you ever heard of the Absurd Roleplay?
I could of helped prevent it's destruction...but I sat on the side getting in the way like a damn fool...
And now your good for nothing sisters waste the chalice...

Doc grabs Amber by the cheeks and looks her in the eyes

...zoooooo....

He collapses

Dark sees the fusion in progress, and before he can think of a remark, just starts screaming while firing a Dark assault at the result

Doc gets up and shakes Dark

SHUUUUT UPPPP

Dark stops screaming and starts whistling

Move your brain gears I wanna know what the fairy and chalice are saying!

Dark continues to whistle...OH GOD,
HIS WHISTLE SOUNDS FINE AT FIRST BUT PROTO MANS THEME WAS NOT MEANT TO BE THIS LOW PITCH OH LORD

...

The dust around Doc and Dark clears, leaving Dark still standing, throwing the vaporize.

He lands, and stares dead on at Garnet.

...I...NO!

I will not cease to fight! It's my duty to restore the omniverse I once had a hand in annihilating! I will NOT bow down to some egotistical dried up fetuses!

Dark enters a stance...
Dark unleashes a Dark Assault on Garnet!

I WON'T STAND DOWN UNTIL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU SUFFER WITH THE GUILT LIKE I DID!

Doc's buster is shot before it releases the doc essence!

Son of a bitch the chalice is a dirty liar!

Dark crosses his arms and backs off, slightly panicked...

Doc hears scrap get obliterated, and gets up to try and help him...
Doc stands above him...
you....stupid...fucking...gems....

You ignore our will for nothing but a new chance at the world...
The stupid freaking chalice lies to us...
You broke our spirits, and our bodies... and my heart
You two merge and go by GARNET INSTEAD OF CORUNDUM!
And now Scrap is...
YOU THINK YOU'RE HOT SHIT FOR FUSING?
WELL THEN, FOR ALL THE HYDRAKINS WHO MISSED OUR PREFORMANCE, ITS TIME FOR AN ENCORE!
I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY!


DARK!

Doc and Dark run towards each other, fusing, and when Doc Elite comes to be, the effects of the Sacred revival cause him to overflow with power, glowing with a white aura!

NOW DIE!

Doc Elite releases a Dark Vaporize towards Corundu- er, Garnet!

Ok well fuc-

Doc bursts into flames.

WAIT YOU IGNORED MY EQUATION!
Just ignore it...

Dark leaps into the pile and grabs a painting of Time Man, when he emerges, something grabs him, and Doc has to pull him out.

Man, those two are going ham down there.

Doc looks at the purple hand in the rubble

YEAH, RUBY AND SAPPHIRE...

Dark stares at Amethyst and points at the painting

Does this happen to be your father? Because I'd think he'd tell you to SHUT THE HELL UP!

I DONT WANNA BURN!


WAIT

CHANGE DA WORLD. MY FINAL MESSAGE. GOODBYE.

Doc essence, attack boost!
Doc proceeds to fall on the floor

Dark sees Ruby and Sapphire perish

Oh no! Anyways.

Darks brain starts...pumping...its honestly disgusting really
Why yes Mr. Chalice I'd say we are a mighty fine group of warriors its not like me and Doc survived the destruction of reality TWICE!

Dark catches himself on the floor

A truth huh? Well watch this!


He cracks his knuckles, before reading out various numerical equation on the ground randomly until it forms something, then solving it, he does this about four times before Dark stops him.

What do you have to prove to them? They're dying anyways.


Hmph. Fine.

Doc charges an essence....

...

QUICKFIRE ROUND WHAT IS THE AREA OF A CIRCLE WITH A RADIUS OF 4π√5?

He jumps on the ground and scribbles in the dirt again with a tiny knife, keeping his other arm up to gather energy

I GOT IT, HOW BOUT YOU, ANY OF YOU, EVEN THE LITTLE POLISH STONER!

Dark finds a Weapon Archive box, several of the Titan Dweevil's weapons, and various corpses of M.A.S.H. units...

About to uncover something, Dark Elite is distracted by Amber calling Doc an idiot...
Barely restraining himself from vaporizing the whole room, he charges at Amber and grabs her by the neck...

Bold fucking words you mosquito preserving infant.

Before breaking her entire skull, Dark calms down and backs off...

Huh.

Doc essence is released as an attack boost!

The more time you waste, the stronger we become, don't tell me you want to be as stupid as the edgelord?

Doc looks at Jet

Ah. Right.




... she? Who is she?

District 3 it is.

Rather excitedly, Spectrum starts jogging towards the train line, waiting for Reggae before going full speed. Ironic

Dark Elite stares Jade in the eyes.

Oh I'm not polite, I just don't have anger issues.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Doc essence charges up...

Dark Man 4, better known as Dark Elite. Everything here is yours to keep if you allow us to get Odernom's Chalice, as you know, Chaos Zone was destroyed, with the chalice we can recreate it to an extent and make a home for the survivors. And if that's not enough of a deal...

He looks at Amber

You can keep Doc Robot if you give us the chalice.

THIS IS WHY WILY PUT ME IN CHARGE OF KILLING L

And how's that going?

...

...

Dark starts scrounging through the treasure hoard.

Alright, you had a choice between me getting stronger or everyone getting stronger...

Doc essence is released as an attack boost!

You asked for it!


Dark gets up

Shouldn't we refuse?

NO IT'S AGAINST the rules!

...
Wait

Dark looks at Jade

HEY DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW ANYONE NAMED SHIELDY? YOU'RE GREEN, GOT THE HEAT MAN O MOUTH, TALK ABOUT A DATABASE, AND INVOLVE SHIELDS...

WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER

Dagger Man opens the hatch of the revitalization tube, pointing Shu out the door as if to say, after you.

Alright, I'll go gather the other two, and we can go on our first bounty.

...

Oh. Right, you don't know your way around quite yet...here, take this map, I marked the meetup point.

Marked in red on the map, quite messily that it could be anywhere within about a 100 meter radius, is the meetup point, in the second shop district, filled with many businesses tending to the organic members of the Conglomerate.
