Prologue: The Collision

[Noland Hardy]

"..." Noland slowly turned around to look at this massive creature approaching them from across the way. Drago did the same. His head gradually rose as the disbelief of this creature being summoned to fight settled in. "Damn man...that's tough."

"You know how to beat that?" Drago wondered.

"Nope," Noland answered, getting his BrawlX ready for combat. "You?"

"Not a clue... Drago took a closer look and noticed that Cyber was taking part in this fight too. When he noticed, he snarled. "Again? Really?" he sighed.

"Fine by me. I've been looking for a fight anyway," Noland asserted. "Be careful... This thing's jacked."

Drago nodded. He got in a boxing stance and awaited what this creature had planned for the two of them.

[Asuka Izumo]

Fallen Eden charged towards the duo. While it was moving forward it reminded of a tornado which threatened to wipe out everything in its path. As it moved some ethereal force began erasing every building it flew above. Then it accelerated and the destruction in its path accelerated as well. All of a sudden, it stopped about a kilometer away from both of them and it started flapping its massive wings releasing glittering powder which, in contact with anything, simply would delete it out of existence. As powder began to land on the ground it kept forming a giant crater since the ground below kept getting deleted. The substance of the powder was unknown, but clearly it was rather potent one that it could do something like this- if this was ever done outside the simulation it would be quite a difficult to stop it from annihilating everything in its way.

"Fallen Eden has begun its attack." Asuka muttered.

"Yes. Orders were set to 'non-lethal' combat. If it moves to critical levels we will stop the test." Ares responded.

[Noland Hardy]

"..." Noland wasn't sure how to comment on what he was seeing. Yes, it was impressive, but it looked too easy. Something wasn't quite right about this fight.

Drago nonchalantly remained where he was without making any sudden movements. The only thing he did was expel a little bit of his power to ward off the particles. The craters that were created from the enemy's attack formed a very artistic circle where Noland and Drago were standing. The island of concrete they were on had some rocks falling off from it once the attack was at its conclusion.

"There's a Maverick in there," Drago noticed, ignoring the devastation around him completely.

"Oh. That's nice," Noland sarcastically accepted. "Is there a Hurranian in there too?"

"...Don't give them any ideas..." While the two were making light of the situation, they were still paying attention to what this creature does. For now, they were going to wait for the opportune moment.

[Asuka Izumo]

The monstrosity screeched madly as it continued to move in. Destruction it has been causing created ominous air about the entire region; it reeked after death and suffering. It kept charging towards the duo before suddenly stopping and then spreading its gigantic disgusting wings. Wings flashed in purple and then creature screeched ominously releasing a wave of destruction that headed towards the duo. Not only that the wave had similar effect to creature's movements, simply erasing everything out of existence, it was also twisting reality itself- airspace where waves went through looked like there was glass shattered and then covered in purple paint. It was one of the abilities Cyber would not use during the battle on the airship since it would annihilate his own plan, but in this area where Asuka was in control he could spam it if he wanted to; existence-erasing ability formed out of godly Maverick powers. The duo would not want to get hit by that force- if it was lethal effect their bodies would have been torn and twisted, but luckily Asuka set it to non-lethal.

[Noland Hardy]

Noland's hand started shining in rainbow energy just like the good old days. Drago's color scheme didn't change in response to this, but his aura did receive a hint of change by matching this color. This was the old imperfect Switch Code form that they used before Apollonir trained them.

Judging by Noland's usage of this at all, it would show that this was necessary for Drago's safety if he was going to contest this kind of force. From what it looked like, there was a lot of nothingness manipulation going on here. At the very least, the imperfect Switch Code will offer some protection from things like that assuming this could actually erase Drago. The power increase they get from this is minuscule with the level they're on, so all it served was a defensive purpose and nothing more.

"Ability activate! Novia Blitz!" This one was an upgraded version of an oldie, Novia Charge, or Novia Driver if one is that nostalgic. It has been modified for medium to long-range engagements, but it is still as lethal as ever in close quarters.

Drago's horn gleamed in a crimson light. Somehow, this produced a powerful force that appeared like a barrier of some kind. This could be seen when the creature's attack made contact as a barrier shaped in an arc stopped its advance.

A sparkle was seen on the tip of Drago's horn as he started another attack. A gleaming aura surrounded Drago to make him look like a comet. Without any noticeable muscle movement to telegraph his next attack, this makeshift comet zoomed straight up towards the creature and went past it.

Drago flipped around behind the creature and landed gracefully. When he did, a delayed trail of light went through the creature. It was followed by a delayed shockwave that began to blow everything away.

"..." Noland started to eye this creature with great curiosity. Something about it has his interest; although, he's not quite sure what he's looking for as of now...

[Asuka Izumo]

A mere glint of Achron power residing within the creature's tainted flesh was beyond what any of the Andersens were capable of. While none of this could be perceived through creature's attacks it, eventually, could be seen in its defenses. Certain external and internal parts of the creature were sealed away by Achron power used in same way Kyuki would seal parts of his own mind into which none could take sneak peaks. Considering the glint was far from perfection it would make covered parts completely immune to any damage. Other parts were partially affected- they have resistance to all damage, but can still be damaged. On top of Fallen Eden was Cyber- his body was fully coated in Achron power making him immune to any damage he might take in any way. This was there to make things interesting since the longer Cyber would live in this battle the intensity would grow more.

Creature screeched. It was disturbingly loud. It was listening to a lone whale in the ocean- a creepy feeling coming from it. It was not scary or dangerous-looking at all, but... just creepy... disturbing. The sounds it was making and its movement- it all seemed alive and yet... so dead. So ominous. It turned very slowly towards Drago and began moving very slowly after them. As it was passing by all destruction it had caused before began to repair. Buildings restored to their shape before destruction, flora and fauna blooming like never before and radiance of Sun bathing the entire area. This was the effect of what Kyuki and Maste appeared to be capable of- Broken Reality. Maste had it since she was born, but Kyuki... how he came to learn it was an absolute mystery and it seemed like Asuka was using his knowledge. 

Broken Reality: Also known as the Abandoned Achron. The power originates from an individual similar to Andersens; unlike them, individual was incompatible with Achron powers given to him. Individual mutated- his power grew abnormally quick and led to his mind deteriorating. Such misfortune forced one of the Grand Priests from Achron to lead this individual into demise to prevent him from causing greater harm to the universe. Broken Reality is unpredictable power which may create, change or destroy existence at random- at random time, in random shape, with no solid intention and in random locations. Kyuki and Maste learned how to control it, but no one has ever mastered it; to be able to simply alter an aspect of the universe around you just by wishing of it is a power that gods themselves have prohibited. 

Without any announcement or sign creature charged towards Drago at alarming speed. It was moving very quickly; considering its size it was rather abnormal and hard to follow. Just imagine a battleship moving and maneuvering swiftly as a falcon. The disturbing sound kept on echoing in the area. Area continued getting altered- towers rising from the ground, odd aircraft appearing in the sky, whole forests growing and taking over the city, Sun's radiance weakening and growing more intense by the second. Whatever was happening... it seemed like this thing in real world could have easily caused catastrophes without need of Hurranians causing any destruction. Just allowing its actual power released made it an enormous threat.

[Noland Hardy]

"What...?" Drago shockingly wondered about the damage he caused...or the lack thereof.

Before anything else was touched by any of the combatants, Noland locked his eyes on the creature and activated some form of technique. "Genesis View..." he muttered. Unique to Drago's Ultimate Warrior Gene, this ability allows Drago to go all in on his sight to the point where it reaches the pinnacle of what it could possibly be. Through this, Noland was able to flash his eyes over the creature for less than a second, and he has all he wants to look for.

"Scanning..." the BrawlX in Vince's voice informed Noland. Detailed statistics on the enemy was provided to him in a workbook format. All that was on there were the forces at play here, so there was nothing about offensive or defensive power since he wasn't looking for that. "Heh...something's out of the ordinary with that one there..." That was one of the preset comments Vince set up whenever there was something the BrawlX couldn't recognize. It would seem like Achronian power was not something that could be detected.

As Drago was about to get ran over by this creature, he got wind of this information via the link that he and Noland share. That's when he remembered: "The Andersens and Kyuki had this...but this is far worse..." he dreaded.

"Hmph..." Noland shrugged. It was almost like he couldn't care less. There wasn't the slightest bit of motivation or confidence lost from this realization. He could very well be attempting to play along just for the thrill of the fight, or he could have a way of damaging the creature after all. He DID beat all of the previous villains in just his base form, and one of those villains...was Kyuki...

"...Why is that being used here...?" Drago questioned in his head before the creature made contact.

Whatever happened, a loud bang succeeded the very quiet banter from Noland and Drago, possibly from the creature's massive body...

[Fury]

The loud bang continued to ring in the forgotten depths of the Doom Dimension, almost as if this one occurred at the same time as the one from Drago and Fallen Eden's skirmish. The battle dust was settling after some brief time in the air. Fury was towering over a being that was on the ground. This being was Betadron who thought that provoking Fury was a good idea. Unfortunately for him, he was defeated. Fury didn't look like he had fought at all while Betadron had cuts and bruises all over his body. It was a clear decision on who the winner was.

"...Maybe...I'm too lenient with you..." Fury started to realize. "Your hatred... It makes you powerful...but it makes you blind... What is the point of fighting this way if you cannot see the obvious that's making you fail...?" Fury began to take flight so he can go after the young man himself. This blasted Nonet has been a pain in his ass for the last time...but no more.

"This defeat right here... It will make you even more powerful..." Fury prophesied. "When your seal is broken... You will return to the realm of the light and prepare a place for me there... One that is full of ire, hate, and transgression... There will be unending chaos between mortal and immortal until I assume my throne... Upon it...I will cast judgment to everything...and then...maybe...the 'change' that I desire for this...'body'...shall be granted by my Lord so that I may serve Him until time itself is no more..."

With that said, Fury left the defeated Betadron by himself.

The Nonet struggled to return to his feat. Having been beaten beyond what his regenerative healing factor could comprehend, Betadron was recovering from what was supposed to be fatal injuries. He was progressively returning to top form. In fact, he was going beyond his previous level. His contempt of losing to Fury once more has supplied Betadron with the hateful vitamin he has been seeking.

[Darius Hardy]

The boy and his Vladitor journeyed to the 'Seal'. This was an area that housed the seal that was keeping the established suspects bound to the Doom Dimension. It was located in a huge crater that resembled the calderas on the volcanoes from Earth. There was a tower located in the center of the formation. Surrounding it was a pool of a black liquid. It was unknown what this liquid would do if it came into contact with someone, but it was safe to say that it looked dangerous.

Vladitor hastily ran inside of the structure and made sure the door leading inside was sealed. Once he did, he collapsed. He fell to his knees and started wheezing. He was truly on his last legs and couldn't bear anymore punishment. He had definitely hit his limit.

"You don't look so good..." the kid noticed. His voice depicted him as being sad that this was the case, because he truly was concerned about Vladitor's well-being at this point. "You should return to ball form and get some rest... I can break the seal on my own!"

A loud thud was heard coming from the entrance. Apparently, something large had collided with it.

"Wait... I could've sworn we should've been able to break through that," Slycerak confusingly muttered.

"Notice how you were the only one who did that. How are you the only one that doesn't know it's indestructible?" Mandibor complained.

"I forget things... Sorry for being normal..."

"Nevermind that! The kid got away!" Exostriker lamented. "Hey! I know you're in there! Come outside this instant!"

"No!" the kid instantly refused.

"Excuse you!?"

"I said no!"

"Why not!?"

"Because you're going to hurt me!"

"Damn right I am! You made us run!"

"We flew, but okay," Mandibor interjected.

"None of that matters," Coredegon sighed. "Kid, you must leave that building immediately."

"No! You were supposed to be my friend! Now, you want to hand me over to Fury!"

"Not entirely...but that's not why I'm telling you to leave. You NEED to let the seal end naturally. There are fail-safes in case any of us attempts to break it ourselves. You'd end up getting us erased."

"..." Hearing that, the kid wavered in his attempt to do what he planned to go; however, he was already in there. Vladitor already knew that, so he finally decided to offer his thoughts about it.

"...Let's do it anyway..."

"Are we gonna be erased?"

"I don't know, but I don't care. Why? Because...fuck them... That's why." In an impressive showing of fortitude, Vladitor picked himself up and started limping in the direction of this seal.

"Well, that's that!" The kid started following Vladitor, but not without some objection from the Mechtogan.

"Hey! Where ya goin? Didn't you hear a single word Coredegon said?" Exostriker asked.

"Yep!" the kid gladly answered. He continued on his merry way anyway.

[Darius Hardy]

The kid and the Vladitor eventually came to a sanctuary of some sorts. On the pulpit, there was a white-colored orb resting there.

"There it is! The Sacred Orb!" the kid celebrated.

"...Oh no... Please no..." a godly voice uttered in fear.

"Hi!"

"No!!!!!!"

"Yes!!!!!!!" The kid ran up to the orb and started playfully tapping it. The orb started to jiggle every time it was touched.

"How much do you want!? I'll give you anything! Anything! Just please don't break me!" the orb cried.

"Bring my people back to life!"

"...I can't..."

"Then you can't give me anything! That means I can break you now!"

"No, you mustn't! Don't you know what I'm here for!?"

"To get broken!"

"No, kid! If you break me, my death swallows the Doom Dimension and erases you all from existence!"

"Okay!"

"Okay? What do you mean 'okay'? You're okay with this?"

"Yep! I'll be a slave just like my mommy and daddy if I let the Mechtogan take me to Fury. They told me to never let that happen before they died."

"Okay, let's just slow down and think. Suicide is not the answer. You seem like a good kid who has a bright future ahead of him. I don't want to die, and you don't want to be a slave. Let's make a deal then. You're the last of your kind, right? That means you have powers, right?"

"Yep!"

"Okay. Let's do this then. Instead of me allowing those heathens to be set free, I could just let you and this Vladitor go instead; however, in order for me to do that, you will have to supply the energy that is needed to make the transfer so I don't compromise the seal. Unfortunately, this may cause some...complications with your body since you're a kid and all, but it's nothing that a little rest won't fix. The other option would be to kill me and get erased. So...what will it be?"

"Do you promise to get me out of here if I do that?"

"Yes."

"Pinky promise?"

"I don't have any fingers."

"Then no deal!"

"...Just kill me. Get it over with..."

Rather than destroy the orb, the kid actually started giving up his energy. A green aura surrounded him as spectral energy started flowing into the orb. "You better do what you said or you'll be in trouble!"

"Perfect! Now...let's see..." the orb started scanning for possible locations to send the kid and the Vladitor. "The Sacred Orb on Earth seems to be very lively, so I'll send you there. Hopefully, you can tell it I'm in trouble down here and need some help within the next 48 hours. Please and thank you."

Before the orb could initiate the transfer, the Doom Dimension as a whole started to shake. It started off light, but as seconds passed, the vibrations started feeling more intense...

"Um...I'm in trouble for negotiating with the denizens of the dark, aren't I?" the orb wondered.

Actually...

In 'Naga's Domain', Wavern and Naga were standing there looking at each other with wide-eyes.

"Um...is that...?" Naga wondered before trailing off.

"It is that..." Wavern confirmed.

[Noland Hardy]

The fight between Drago and Fallen Eden was still going on with the former not really taking this fight seriously. Noland was typing something on a digital keyboard from his BrawlX. Zooming in on the screen, one could see that he was taking notes on how the Achronian power was functioning. He knew he wasn't getting everything, but even the basic information could be helpful.

"Alright...I think I have everything I want now. Thanks for that, Admiral," Noland thanked. "Hey, Drago. You ready to be done with this?"

"Nah. Just a few more minutes," Drago sarcastically answered with his arms crossed. "Honestly, if this was set to lethal, I'd be more into this fight, but this ain't it chief."

"Agreed. So, ability activate! Battalix Enforce...ment?" While he was saying the ability's name, Noland started feeling vibrations. Due to his abilities, he felt it in advance. Surely, Ares wouldn't have allowed a quake to interrupt the fight. Something wasn't right...

"Um...what is that...?" Noland asked with a concerned look on his face.

"...That's not an ordinary quake..." Drago nervously noted. Him and Noland quickly "jumped" out of the planet and arrived right across from Asuka and Ares. "Call Wavern. NOW."

Noland quickly whistled the main theme for the original series so he could get in contact with Wavern.

"Yes?" Wavern answered.

"Unnatural quake. Please explain," Noland quickly requested.

"The Collision," Naga answered who was somehow in the telepathic call.

"Who's that?" Drago asked.

"Naga," Naga plainly answered as if Drago should already know who he is.

"Please standby. I'm coming." A bright light shone in the same room Noland and Asuka was in. Using her powers, she forced the simulation to end and had all of the participants pulled out. It was dangerous for them to remain there while this phenomenon was taking place.

A dark light also shone from the same room to drop Naga off. "Hm...haven't been on this planet in years..." Naga thought. "So, I know this is quite random for us to show up like this, so please don't be alarmed when we tell you that you are all about to die in a couple of seconds."

"Don't worry. We are here to prevent that. Please keep yourselves steady and away from any hazardous objects." With the quick warnings given, Wavern warped both her and Naga to the roof of the ship. They started looking at the skies to see just how severe the Collision was. The sky itself was shaking like it was getting ready to fall apart. The clouds were crumbling as if they were solid objects. The surface of the planet had cracks forming in them that threatened to swallow the humans in an instant.

"How is it this bad...?" Naga questioned.

"With all of the dimensions on a crash course towards each other, anything less would've been strange," Wavern answered.

"It would seem like our species hasn't been doing their job if this is what's happening..."

"Some of us have either been evil or have started killing each other. I think different versions of us have fallen victim to one of those."

"Fantastic... I'm guessing the other planets are suffering a similar quake?"

"This is a multiversal threat. EVERYONE can feel it."

"Figures... Well then...are you ready?"

"Nope, but let's get it over with anyway."

"Heh...alrighty then." Wavern and Naga turned way from each other. They slowly lifted themselves up until they were high in the sky. They started spinning in a clockwise formation. The siblings were surrounded by a cataclysmic orb of power that started to shine throughout the planet and the universe itself. 

[Fury]

Fury looked up into the doomed skies of the Doom Dimension. He could see a bright light, one that was made by the combination of Wavern and Naga's powers. He could also feel the unnatural trembling of the universe. Such a thing was irrelevant to him considering he was going nowhere for right now anyway.

"...They work together...?" Fury wondered. Indeed, it was very surprising to see the two White Ones work together like this. Something must definitely be wrong if this is happening.

"Hey! Fury!" Coredegon yelled as the four Mechtogan returned to him.

"...My Mechtogan...well met... What happened to the boy...?"

"Well, we're not erased yet, so he didn't break the seal. Still, he's in the facility. We are unable to get in now."

"...Then we're okay... We will take care of him another time... For now, we shall stand guard over the facility to ensure no one else can enter... ...The seal will end, and Betadron will leave this realm to wreak havoc... We will remain in the Doom Dimension until I'm satisfied with his performance...then we'll deploy in a set order..."

"As you wish," Coredegon accepted.

After their deliberation, a violent rumble shook the entire universe. At the same time, the orb that surrounded Wavern and Naga exploded and illuminated the universe. Both of them collapsed on the airship and were dazed.

"Did...we stop it...?" Naga asked, breathing heavily in between his words.

"For now...we did..." Wavern barely answered. "We all did..." Wavern's words revealed that the White Ones from the other universes did the same thing that Wavern and Naga just did. Together, they were able to put a roadblock on each respective universe so that reality as they all knew it didn't end right then and there.

Unfortunately, this created a new list of problems...

[Noland Hardy]

Noland was briefly knocked out from the rumbling. He slowly rose to his feet, but he had his right hand on his head. It didn't look like he hit his head on anything though. What he felt may have resulted in a huge headache.

"Was that it...?" Noland wondered. "That thing Genesis Dragonoid was talking about..."

"It must have been," Drago guessed. "If I remember correctly, there was supposed to be some strange occurrences, like fighting people from other places and whatnot. Guess we'll go look for them then."

"I guess... Is everyone alright?" Noland asked, as he didn't want to just ignore that there were other people there. "Kendrick? You good?" Noland waited for about five seconds, but he didn't get an answer. He confusingly searched his surroundings for his brother. He was nowhere to be found...

"...Kendrick...?"

[Kendrick Hardy]

"Aw man... That really hurts..." Kendrick groaned. He had to try really hard to get back up on his feet after the Collision. "Krakix...? Siege...?"

"Yeah...we're good..." Krakix acknowledged.

"But...uh...where are we?" Siege asked. Upon closer inspection, they were somewhere else other than that airship. They all looked up and could see that the sky had a green hue. There were also numerous holes up there.

"...What is this place...?" Kendrick was getting concerned about what had actually happened. This is an entirely different planet.

Before Kendrick could properly decipher what was going on, he was zapped from behind. Kendrick let out an agonizing scream before collapsing on the ground. Due to being in close proximity to Kendrick, Krakix and Siege were affected by this too, and were unable to go into monster form to properly contest whoever shot Kendrick.

[Rashad]

The person who shot Kendrick in the back slowly stepped forward. It was a Gundalian who did it, and one could reasonably guess that Kendrick had appeared on Gundalia for some unknown reason.

"...A human..." the person remarked. The voice sounded like a woman's voice.

"So the new arrival is a human?" a man asked through the lady's communication device.

"Yes, sire, a human boy. What would you like me to do with him?"

"What does he have on him?" The person then checked Kendrick's body to see what was there. Finding Krakix and Siege wasn't very difficult. They were easily spotted in his pockets.

"Two Bakugan and a brawling device. He has no other weapons."

"Okay. Bring him back to the castle and place him in a holding cell. I will come by to ask him some questions to see what he wants, and then we'll send him on his way if he's not an enemy. Watch yourself out there. There might be more coming."

"Yes, sire. Reporting back." The lady hoisted Kendrick over her shoulders and started walking off.
