(Even with Shiya and Rookie leaving, I'll take the opportunity to catch up Mr. Game & Watch with the obvious button)

"It's-a over, Pit, let's-a hurry! We can't waste-a anymore time!" Mario called as he took the end of the game as an opportunity and rushed to the closed door. "... A shake up..." Mario repeated as he looked to the door before down. "... Eggman, think you can-a get us in?" Mario suggested. "Already on it. Who do you think I am? Any security system Sonic invented I can easily counter and break. And..." Eggman began as he begin to hack into the systems.

".... And, we are in!" Eggman said as he managed to crack the code super easy. Ha, you think you can outplan him, Sonic?

[PolarStarQuote]

With Eggman's Sudden opening of the Metal Door, The door would slide apart, as the Dice system the group were trapped in suddenly vanished with the door opening! 'Security Protocol Deactivated by Admin!', A Voice would call out, Allowing Eggman, Mario and Pit free reign to enter into the Engine room, behind the door...



Below the ground, Rested a gigantic sized cog of pistons and electric currents, Careening through the entirety of the ship, Slowly producing massive energy! Something like this could power the life sphere for a great long while, Yet here it was, Powering a giant ship of cowardice, As a set of about Eight elevators would lead down to the actual gigantic engine itself. But, Before that, There was a great big slope, leading upward, and onto a display deck...And who was ontop of that deck?

"You know...I think out of everything here. This. This is what my entire life has been leading up to now. Its too perfect! My Biggest rivals, in one team...Being able to beat a Celestial angel is just an icing on top to who else can challenge me."



Sonic looked at the Three with a noticeable frown, Crossing his arms to them, eyes drooping.  "Enjoy my little game? It was quite a shuffle throwing it together, but, i thought you'd appreciate the effort and familiarity, Mario. And Eggman! Long time no see. Well, After this, It'll be the last time i see you period. Love how these things work out, Dont you?" Sonic said, seeming to drop all sense of hiding his intent, as he would hold his hands behind his back, a noticeable shine behind them, as he revealed something as he brought his hands out, adorning his wrists with them...



"Seven rings in hand. You know that old tale, Dont'cha, Eggman? The story of the Arabian Nights, How these rings Binded the pages of reality to that story? Man, That was a trip...You know, ive only used four of these at once, But, I almost feel excited to see how using them all will feel." Sonic would ask, Not even sparing a second to justify his means...He was ready to Throw Down.

"Last words, Doc? Plumber?? Angel???"

	“He’s absolutely right Pit, let’s move!” Palutena agreed as Pit landed on the 6th space. “Just a sec...” Pit excused as he waited in anticipation for coins…that never came. “…Dang. Okay I’m coming.” Pit gave up and stepped off the spaced path. In fluttery a display of jumping that showed Pit still had what it took to get out of the Underworld, Pit glided into the Engine Room as it opened, reuniting with the other teams.
	“The generators in this room seem to be powerful enough to fuel the life sphere for years.” Palutena gasped as she scoped the room. “Maybe even till this mission's over.” Pit yawned as he stretched his bow arm. “I still can’t shake how out of character it is for someone like Sonic the Hedgehog to man a vessel like this…” Palutena sighed just as Sonic made himself heard. “Or for him to say something like that.” Pit brandished his bow in battle stance.
	“Careful Pit, those are the Seven World Rings. They represent the emotions of Desire, Pleasure, Joy, Hatred, Rage, Sadness and Hope.” Palutena exposited. “And he’s holding them in just one hand!” “Yeah I’ve got some last words…” Pit drew an arrow aimed at Sonic’s knees. “…Nothing at all, just seems.”

...No doubt the question on everyone's mind at the moment: Where had Shiya and Rookie gone throughout these recent developments?

---

Rookie stood rooted to the spot at the doorway after Eggman hacked it open. The momentary emotions of whimsy and relief had quickly been snatched from his soul when the wolf's eyes scrolled up the slope ahead, before coming to rest on Sonic the Hedgehog. ". . . N-No way."

Maybe Sonic hadn't noticed him due to how wildly animated their allies were, but whatever the reason, Rookie couldn't bring himself to speak up. This whole time he knew what their mission had been, of course; however, he'd never once that entire time believed it to be true. He'd thought this was some kind of messed up misunderstanding: That Eggman had unleashed Metal Sonic to trick them, or he'd teamed up with Infinite again to create one of those illusions... most of the explanations were Eggman-based. None of them however came even close to this reality:

Sonic the Hedgehog. His partner. He was right there... and yet just out of reach. The words he spoke were foreign... but the voice was unmistakable. "...N-No. I refuse to believe that's him." Rookie spoke up in an attempt to snap himself out of his stupor. Working his way up the slant towards the display deck with a sharp glare at Sonic, Rookie cocked his Drill wispon; cradling it at ready with his other palm as he walked ahead. "...You're not Sonic. I don't know if this is some Phantom Ruby trick or something else, but I know for a fact you aren't him."

DRILL!

pYQXP4nTp_1d20+6 (Wispon Strike[Drill]: DMG 10%; 5% chance inflict Stun)

The helical weapon's whirring grew louder louder and louder in Rookie's grasp, storing up more and more power within itself to the point where it seemed like it would explode at any second. Abruptly though, the high-pitched whine stalled out, prompting the Wolf to rush forward towards the "imposter", overcharged weapon in tow. Rushing forward at a speed that'd make Sonic proud, a yellow spiral engulfed Rookie. He let the weapon lead, drilling through the air like it were water on a direct path with the blue blur.

---

...Where's Shiya though?

Well, the grand reveal of Sonic the Hedgehog as the great evil mastermind behind the ship had been stunning and all... but Shiya barely wasted a moment listening to Sonic's malicious rambling before making a beeline for the center platform for reasons completely contrary to everyone else. "Hahaha! Come to papa!" Shiya excitedly shouted before abruptly slamming his hands down onto the mechanical flooring, grinding to a halt as EnerGy began flowing throughout his body in overdrive. The trails of cyan magic criss-crossed down his form to the scarlet mage's fingertips before sinking into the ship's structure itself; running through the metal structures and screens on it's way to the engine.

That was why this had been the most optimal team for him to be on. The engine was the structural center-point of the entire Absolution. Besides it meaning that it was the perfect point to sabotage it's development from, this tidbit of information also meant that using Shiya's magic abilities from this point would give him easy access to the entirety of Sonic's war-machine! All of his patience was finally paying off! This ship was as good as his!

Just as soon as the Make Belief's were gonna be Reborn, suddenly, Sonic stopped midair as Pit's Arrows would hit him almost immediately! He didnt even TRY To dodge, Haha! ...Wait, he legitimately did not even try to dodge pit's arrows, as they went through his legs, piercing them and causing black blood to spill off and drip onto the ground...What on earth??

"...Time to cut this short, i guess. Sorry, Egghead, Mario, But it seems that there's no time for me to fool around anymore." Sonic would say, Before his form started to crystalize, Sealing the arrow wounds of his body, as his fur grew a dark color, his Quills crystallizing at there tips, as he looked to the six, growing a smirk. "Shame...I was looking forward to seeing who really could of won. Sonic...Or Mario. Hm hm hm. Doesnt matter. None of you matter...You will all return to which all was born..." Sonic would say, shutting his eyes...Before opening them, to reveal ruby red crystal eyes, cracked around its entirety.

"All will return to Darkness, Heralded by Fire."

Mephiles the Dark would say, as Shiya's attempt to Touch the engine was cut short, as Suddenly, the entirety of the engines infrastructure was suddenly covered in a thick layer of White Crystal in one instance, which absorbed the light from all surrounding sources, and suddenly sent two massive crystal spikes, attempting to skewer Shiya right through his grabby hands!

Crystal Spear; Shiya, Roll 16 in Dex to avoid getting your hands pierced right through there Palms by Mephiles's white crystal spears! If not, your gonna take 6+(The Entirety of your CON Stat. So, 16) Worth of damage! 

"....Stupid idea, Stupid Child...Come. Let us dance in this darkness." Mephiles would say, Chuckling, as the entirety of the room was suddenly covered in a mass of White Crystal, Absorbing all light, letting Mephiles stand clear as day. Mephiles the Dark was to fight head on!!

With that said, Mephiles would Produce his Black Chaos emerald, and with a sudden motion, vanish through time itself, Until appearing behind Mario...As a Flurry of blows suddenly came from the air itself!

Distortion Flurry; Mario, Mephiles used Chaos Control to manipulate time, and deliver punches without being there! Roll a 15 in WIS Perception to try and see through the trick and Dodge, or take 8 + (The Entirety of your WIS Stat. So, 12) Damage!

And Finishing it off, Mephiles aimed his hand to Pit, before launching another White Spear of Crystal at him, aiming for his chest, as if trying to pierce his Heart!

Crystal Spear; Pit, Roll atleast 14 in Dex to Dodge the speeding spike of Crystal, or else suffer 6+(The Entirety of your CON Stat. So10) Worth of Damage!

"... Sonic..." Mario put on a rare angry stare at the hedgehog as he stepped forward with Eggman and Metal Sonic. Eggman nodded to Metal Sonic to initiate the scan of Sonic as he talked. "This isn't-a game, Sonic! You need to-a stop this now!" the plumber stated in frustration, helping to distract from Metal Sonic. "The Seven World Rings?! Impossible! Those are a myth!" The doctor's eyes widened in recogonition behind his goggles.

".... You're right, it's not Sonic and those Seven World Rings are false too," Metal Sonic stated after the attacks of Pit and Rookie. Mario was ready with his hammer before Metal said that. "What? If it's not Sonic then who is it?" Mario asked in confusion. ".... This is Mephiles, a being thought to be erased from time," Metal Sonic stated. "... Mephiles, eh? Then I no longer feel-a bad for hammering him," Mario stated, that was when he looked back and noticed the Black Chaos Emerald in his hand... Wait, something about that position seemed familiar...

kzobtWf5p_1d20+1

Chaos Control! Recogonizing the technique and where his most vulnerable position was Mario backflipped out of the way of the punch, trying to turn Mephiles's attempt at an advantage into a disadvantage as Mario channeled fire in his hand before bringing down his hammer upon the faker. He then threw his palm forward, initiating a powerful blast of fire to Mephiles's back.

The Plumber quickly reached into his overalls, looking for something to pull out before finding it. Man, he almost poked his finger on it. Pulling out a blue spiked shell with wings that was the menace to anyone that attended a Mario Kart Tournament, Mario prompty threw it, the shell homing in on the guy that dared to fake being Sonic.

"Sonic was never on Li, was he? Even in the Starvia's base, you were always the one being Sonic, wasn't you? I can't believe me and Samus have let you get away with this for so-a long!" Mario declared with a stare. "I can't believe it either," Eggman rolled his eyes under his glasses. "Um, anyway, we will not let you get away with this any longer! Your rule ends here Mephiles!" Mario pointed at the hedgehog.... Wait, where was Shiya right now? "... Shiya! Don't-a mess with the controls!" Mario called out.

Pit could relate to Rookie. To have someone you looked up to and admired…Someone you’d follow to the Underworld and back, risking life and limb for…  For them to turn their back on everything they stood for; for everything you followed them for. He had been there before, and never wanted to go back again.  You couldn’t believe it was them saying what they said, doing what they did. You’d outright refuse to.  But just like when it was Pit’s turn, this corrupted idol proved to be a falsehood. It wasn’t them at all.
	“Bullseye!”  Pit smirked in success as all his arrows hit their target. “…Hey wait a minute, why didn’t even try to dodge?”  Pit suspiciously breathed between his teeth. “What’s going on?”  Pit gasped as Sonic began to darken, sharpen and transform. “Is Sonic turning into a Werehog?” “Pit that’s not Sonic!”  Palutena gasped in horror.  “That’s Mephiles the Dark!”
	“That’s even Edgier!”  Pit screamed in panic.  “Who’s the heck is Mephiles the Dark?” “Mephiles the Dark is the malevolent conscience, mind and will of the sun god Solaris.”  Palutena began to cautiously explain. “But I thought Pyrrhon was the sun god!” Pit replied, confused. “We all wish he was in the choice between the two.”  Palutena solemnly rolled her eyes. “Pit watch out!”  Palutena shouted in warning of an incoming Crystal Spear.
(Wo8NRX3rp_1d20+3 Pit's Dodge of the Crystal Spear.) Since Pit was on his game enough to dodge the Crystal Spear, his nimble warrior instinct mind divised a swift counter play.
	“Stay Back!”  Pit yelped as he whipped out his Guadian Orbitars to reflect the Crystal Spear back at Mephis.  (p_1d20+1 Pit's Guardian Orbitars @ Crystal Spear + Mephis.

"Ah, The Man-made Fake. How Lovely." Mephiles would say upon seeing metal sonic, chuckling "Your right about my former status in a Void of erased time...However, Being pulled here could only give me ideas." Mephiles would answer to Metal, Before suddenly taking the brunt of Mario's hammer, His skin audibly crackling as he melted into a thick, viscous black ooze, and vanishing across the void of Time and Space, and reappearing atop Mario's hammer, arms crossed. "You only have mere seconds before everything ends, Mario. I admire you fighting while you have them, Atleast." Mephiles would compliment, before once again fading into shadows to Dodge mario's fire brand, Appearing between Pit and Mario, closing his eyes once more...

"Talking about someone behind there backs is awfully rude, Goddess." 
Mephiles would simply say, Suddenly appearing in place between Pit and Palutena in there Divine Guidance.

"But you surprise me with how much you know of me. Concise information...However, you neglected to mention the Other Half of my true form. I feel if your going to inform your little pet dying for you, You'd at least prepare him for that." 
Mephiles would simply state, Chuckling slowly.

"As for you, Pit, Nice Trick's hidden up your sleeve...Seems it'll cost you an Arm and a Leg."
Mephiles would menacingly say...

Seeing Pit Orbitar the Crystal Spears, Mephiles would raise his palms to the attack, taking the brunt and letting the crystalline spears pierce his palms down to his arms, Before vanishing once more into the oozy black, Only to reappear in the air...And then get Hit by Mario's Blue Shell, Knocking him a sizable ways back, before he melted down and vanished again, His presence circling the group...


But thankfully, A Massive blast of Water caused mephiles to be hit, Twice infact, as he would break apart and melt down upon the next two reincarnations of his form, as his voice laughed. "My my...Such arrogance from all of you. But now, We must prepare for a righteous feast...Think i'll start with a wing." Mephiles would say, as suddenly, A Set of shining lights from above would glimmer, Forming two circular Blade's of Crystal, which flew down, aiming for Pit's Left arm and Right Leg!

Crystal Saw's; Pit! This attack attacks twice, The First time for the Arm, Second time for the leg! Roll a Dex check of 14 to the first and second  of them, Or else suffer a massive gash in your limb's, and 11+ (PIT's CON) Damage for each one hit!

"And then, We shall snuff out the light!" Mephiles would say, Laughing aloud, as a sudden circular formation would appear below Mario, Before a sudden blast of pure Dark energy would erupt, trying to tear him asunder!

Dark Gyser; Mario! Roll a Dex check of 15, Or suffer a damaging pillar of darkness, Which will Blind you for the next two turns, And deal 1+(Mario's WIS) Damage!

"And i shall claim my right...To the world of Darkness!" Mephiles would say, Suddenly vanishing once again, Before attempting yet another Chaos Control Assault on Mario after the Dark Gyser, A Massive set of punches coming for his very face!

Distortion Flurry; Mario, Mephiles used Chaos Control to manipulate time, and deliver punches without being there! Roll a 15 in WIS Perception to try and see through the trick and Dodge, or take 8 + (The Entirety of your WIS Stat. So, 12) Damage!

Shiya was so close. That split second he touched the engine he could feel it all! Hundreds upon hundreds of feet of foreign metals, alloys, machinery, technology, living breathing creatures pressing down on it... Damaging it. A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead while he pushed harder into it, just about to try analyzing it further before the entire engine's exterior was covered in a crystalline substance... that promptly attempted to skewer him. Then again though, what hasn't tried to stab him yet?

yrTeVFDvp_1d20+1 (Crystal Spears evasion - CRITICAL SUCCESS!!)

Instead of being skewered through the palms like a holy saint though, quite the opposite happened. The scarlet mage's hands shifted to the side as his mind began to add the crystal's substance to his cognition. With reflexive action so quick it might've seemed like he saw the attack coming, Shiya gripped onto the resulting spikes with a fervent grin; briefly turning his glowing face to taunt Mephiles while he began running his analysis through the impromptu barrier. "Hah! Sorry mate, but I earned this one!" He teased, sticking out a tongue before manifesting several swords around himself to launch at the fake sonic. "Guess you're too slow!"

Jeez, he wasn't even bothered in the slightest by the fact that Sonic had turned into a shiny rock demon Shadow.

p_1d20+4 (PHANTASMAL RAIN WTF SHIYA DOUBLE CRITTIN I GUESS: AoE DMG 15%->23%)

Just a few more seconds... that's all he needed! Even though darkness had encased the room from Mephiles' presence, a second source of light began to hauntingly illuminate it as the same criss-crossing pattern of cyan EnerGy that covered Shiya's entire body at this point had effectively spread onto the entire room. To the windows, to the walls and floor and ceiling! It was like being at the center of a neon circuit board or one of those old tron movies--Either way, it begged the question of which foreboding presence everyone had to be worried about.

---

While Shiya didn't seem phased in the slightest by this stunning revelation though, Rookie had the complete opposite case. His face shifted between a mixture of emotions: Rage, relief, sorrow, worry, vindication... So it had been a fake! He should've been jumping for joy at this fact...

And yet a small part of him ached, for even doubting that his friend could do such horrible things in the first place.

"I don't know who you are, and honestly I don't care!" The wolf howled, drifting around the room by shooting a line into the engine; retaining his ridiculous momentum before using it to throw himself right back at the heretical foe! "You're going down!" Seems with all the hubbub and enemies in the room, Mephiles either hadn't noticed or didn't care enough to acknowledge Rookie... all the more to his advantage though as he launched a crippling drill strike towards the fake-hedgehog's rear!

	“!” “!” Pit and Palutena audibly gasped as Mephiles appeared between them and spoke to them both. “Th-the other half?” Pit asked intimidated. “He means Iblis, also known as the Flames of Disaster.” Palutena explained, reluctant to dignify Mephiles taunting her to. “He's the rest of Solaris: His raw power and is thus an immortal energy-based being of mass destruction. But we don't have time to worry about him now!”
	“…A Leg’s not a class of weapon...” Pit corrected Mephiles with a face twisted a bit in confusion. “...Then again I use mine very well-” “-Pit Look Out!” Palutena warned as Mephile shot two Crystal Blades at her captain.

"... Ah, a Man-Made Half of Solaris. How lovely," Metal Sonic mocked back as he tapped his metal foot in frustration. "I won't let this world-a end. I will-a fight until everyone is safe once-a more," Mario said with a staredown before leaping back from the pillar of darkness. However this time he was not prepared for the light magic and got hit pretty hard, falling back with an off as he impacted the floor. "Mario. Sensors indicate he is using some temporal displacement powers to punch you faster than the eye can see. This is approximately 75% in probablity." the water device helpfully noted from Mario's back. "I know-a that... I think.  Gonna take more than that to keep this-a plumber down!" Mario declared as he jumped forward to Mephiles after the others, throwing his punch.

After that swift punch he threw another punch as he landed before jumping into the air and aiming to stomp into Mephiles with much more force than his last two blows, bouncing off to the other side if successful, jumping past if not before turning around with a mighty swing of his hammer to Mephiles's back, "You'll never snuff out our light, Mephiles! Tabuu could not destroy our hope and neither will-a you or the Starvia!" Jump Man claimed while Eggman observed the situation and recorded a few notes into his specialized Eggpad.

Mephiles would Raise up his fists as the Phantasmal rain of Shiya's swords would appear, as Mephiles simply stood at guard, allowing the multitude of blades to hit him, and bounce off of his crystaline body, cleaving through and sending shards of his body across the ground, as Mephiles let out a simple, curious 'Hmmm...' as he studied, Soon letting Rookie follow up by drilling into his body Not once, Not Twice, but Thrice, as Mephiles chuckled. "Clever, Clever...I see why Sonic's so fond of you. But you are in far over your league, Child." Mephiles would simply say, Soon pulling away and vanishing into the darkness, as an Upperdash arm flew through him, and Mephiles re appeared behind Pit.



"And you're just like Sonic yourself. So childish, and unspeakably Dull." Mephiles would say, Before vanishing once more, Reappearing with a loud laughter away from Pit's attack! "Hahaha! Your world of Light is a Myth, Child! All shall be burned to Darkness!" Mephiles would say aloud, Before looking back to see Mario , Mephiles would chuckle, Chaos control activating as he would simply avoid the First punch.



"Sadly for you, Your not nearly as exciting as Sonic is to fight." Mephiles would say, as Time returned, and he would Dodge and weave to avoid the second...Only for a Boot stomp to follow, Taking mephiles off guard! "Hrk-- But just as annoying!" He would claim, as he looked up to then be greeted by a giant metal hammer, causing his eyes to crack open, in proof of his form defeated, as Mephiles bounced back against the crystalline shell he put over the entire console of Absolution.



"Hm..." Mephiles would stand up, observing the massive crack in his eyes, looking back at mario. "...Well then. Seems ive underestimated you all. But sadly, You've already lost...Observe." Mephiles would simply say, Chuckling as he would lay a hand upon the crystal shell, and soon, it would extend outward, pressing a single button...

"MAIN CANNON TARGET ACQUIRED...DESTINATION; 12,000 KILOMETERS IN POLLUTED OCEAN."

"BEGINNING FIRE IN 3....2.....1..."

"I win." Mephiles would simply say, Before suddenly, a Roaring, loud rumbling would careen through the entirety of Absolution, as Mephiles would raise a crystalized Claw to the air, Smirking.

"Iblis! Come, join me! Let us become one again! And Bathe these fools in the blinding Sun!!"

Soon, what appeared to be a Magma core would appear in the air, as Mephiles laughed aloud, Floating to the center of the room, as the two figures merged, the Molten core forming a suit around Mephiles's body, Hardening slowly into a metallic form, as Mephiles would look upon his own clawed hands as he descended onto the ground, now decorated in a bright, shining set of Armor...





"I see. It seems Iblis didnt have enough power from the ocean life. I suppose a fire can not be stoked by mere twigs." Mephiles simply said, settling onto the ground, as his new Armor settled onto the ground, a glowing aura surrounding him, as he would simply chuckle once more. "No matter."

"This will be more than enough to take care of you."

Solaris Knight Mephiles!

With that done, Suddenly a massive Axe would form from the metallic floor of Absolution, Gripped by a phantasmal hand made of Mephiles's Aura, as it would ready itself, Before Mephiles suddenly blasted forward with an Intense pressure to Shiya and Rookie, as the massive Aura of Light shined brightly, Its very presence Pressing the Genetic Reject and the Wolf into the metallic walls and floor!

Almighty Light Press! Shiya and Rookie, Roll a CON Check! If you roll lower than 16, Shiya and Rookie are slammed into the Metal Wall, and are crushed deep inside, and will suffer 23 Damage, and will have one of there 3 Regular Actions reduced, Meaning they can only perform Two attack actions before suffering debuffs!

Following this, the Knight Mephiles would look at Pit, Gripping his crystaline Axe, Pulling back and throwing it forward like a whirling, spinning force toward Pit, as it gathered a current like a whirlwind along with its spinning gale! 

Wind of Light! Pit, Roll a Dex check of 15, or get pulled into a cleaving, Slicing axe whirlwind, Suffering 20 + (Pit's DEX)% Damage, and getting those pretty wings ruffled! Gonna worry Palutena with that?

Then, came Mario, to whom Mephiles held quite a hatred for at this moment in time, as Mephiles would quickly vanish, appearing before Eggman and Metal Sonic first and Foremost, seperating them from Mario. "You two first." Mephiles would simply say, Before suddenly his Almighty Aura would grip both Eggman and Metal, lifting them high in the air and colliding them both together, before Mephiles would use his Almighty Light Push to send the two Sonic Nemises through the metallic hull of the ship, out of the top and through the sky in one sudden go!

Following this, Mephiles performed a single yank, his Aura pulling his Axe away from Pit, and suddenly causing it to fly toward Mario, with its crystalline tip first!

	“What? Dull?!?” Pit gasped, more offended by being called that than the fact that his Upperdash Arm missed. Before he could voice his complaints further (or formulate them) Mario’s hammer cracked Mephiles right in the peeper. “Yowsh… It’s gonna take a hot spring’s worth of eyedrops to take care of that.” Pit cringed with vicarious eyesore. “Pit keep your eyes open!” Palutena warned as Mephiles pushed the button. “What’s that button do?” Pit asked with curious urgency. “Brace yourself, we’re going to find out.” Palutena replied hopelessly as it had already been pressed. “I’m…getting the worst case of déjà vu right now.” Pit whimpered as the main cannon fired. “Lady Palutena… Might I axe what’s going on?” Pit shivered, not realizing he made a pun. “It looks like he tried to summon his other side, Iblis, and instead of a molten volcanic monster it’s- Activating the Power of Flight!” Palutena suddenly shouted as Mephiles hurled his axe at Pit.

	“Woah! Not that I’m not grateful but warn a guy next time.” Pit panted between flaps of his wings. “That’s a pretty bad guy looking sword…” He scratched his chin, looking at it planted into the wall. Scavenger instincts activating, he pried it out of the hole and tried throwing it back at Mephiles.

	“Say Pit, are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Palutena began to inquire, hinting she had an idea. “Yeah. I gotta be more careful swinging this thing in midair.” Pit panted in reply. “Not that, (though you should always be careful) I mean Mephiles armor. Doesn’t that remind you of anything~?” She hinted more obviously at her idea. “Oh yeah! Could you totally send the-” Pit asked eagerly upon understanding. “-Shh, don’t spoil the surprise! They’re already on their way and should be there by the next post!” Palutena happily reported. “Excellent.” “We may be mere myth, Mephiles, but you are history!” Palutena battle cried. “Hey that was pretty good!” Pit complimented.

Mario's eyes widened as a button was pressed and he jumped back from the broken Mephiles. And summoning the powers of some entity the hedgehog creature transformed. If only he had his powerup stocks still with him so he can power up too... Gonna need to look into that after this was over. Mario watched as his allies were assaulted until Eggman was.... utterly destroyed along with Metal Sonic, the two sent flying out the ship. "YOU'LL REGRET THIS!" a cry from the distance sounded as the doctor and robot clone vanished out of sight. The plumber could not be too stunned however as he jumped over the axe and began to rush Mephiles until he heard a.... familiar sound. Knowing to avoid being in the crossfire, Mario rolled out of the way.

It may be more confusing for the transformed Mephiles as suddenly a Warp Star came in through the hole that Mephiles made with the last two allies. Kirby rocketed towards Mephiles and attempted to hit him with a bo staff before jumping off the Warp Star, it being sent flying into the wall and vanishing into stars. Kirby then brought out a Yo-Yo and slinged it towards Mephiles's arm, gripping it in a tight squeeze before pulling himself forwards for a kick to the doppelganger's face.

"Hi! Mario! Pit! Shiya!... New Guy!... Sonic? You look fuuny...." Kirby tilted his body as he landed to greet everyone. "Nice to sse you could-a make it, Kirby. This is-a Mephiles, he's been impersonating Sonic," Mario explained to the puffball who breathed an oh and nodded before turning back to Mephiles. "... You don't look very tasty but I have another way to throw your moves back at ya!" Kirby declared as he shimmered with a white light and... turned into an actual ghost before rocketing to Mephiles, going inside to rob control before coating Mephiles in light if he could rob control and then proceeding to slam Mephiles's body into the walls and all over before ending into a slam into the ground before the puffball would jump back out in mortal form.

"Got it!" Shiya shouted victoriously as his hand pulled away from the engine's exterior. All at once, the glowing traces of his EnerGy that'd been coating the ship faded away, leaving only Mephiles' influences surrounding them. "Mission complete." ...not really, Shiya. He turned around, now properly ready to engage in battle just as Mephiles returned to the main ship console, pressing a button.... which caused Shiya's eyes to instantly widen in panic as he recalled it's function. "DON'T DO IT!" The panicked mage futiley cried out, reaching out a hand towards the demon as if it'd dissuade him; but his protests fell on deaf ears as the main laser canon of the Absolution fired...

....and missed? Well, it hit something but the planet wasn't destroyed so clearly something wasn't right. "....Uh.... How do you miss the planet?" Shiya speculates aloud, recovering his footing as Mephiles began to boast about his victories.

"He wasn't aiming at the planet." His wolf partner answered, face grim and still enraged by this entity. Rookie meanwhile had enough an inkling to know that Mephiles clearly had done what he'd been attempting, unleashing some sort of force in an attempt to gain more power; but failed. Something about "twigs" not being able to stoke a fire? The ocean of life? None of the things he was saying made sense to either of the two in the grand scheme of things.

That is until the villain utilized the unearthed magma powers to envelop himself in powerful armor. That was something the both of them could understand. Pure bad.

"Woahwoahwoah!!!" Resisting the urge to copy the giant axe Mephiles manifested, Shiya swung his monado in front of himself to block as the demon knight rushed towards them with a burning rage. Rookie on the other hand could only do his best to tank the damage, getting practically embedded through the wall of the engine room from the attack's intense pressure. "HRGH-" The resourceful wolf thankfully managed to grab onto the sheared ledge of metal just before he was completely blown from the room. He struggled to hold on though, momentarily incapacitated while he hoisted himself back up.

"Rookie!" Shiya called out, his voice filled with sudden worry as his partner was blown away. His eyes scanned over the demolished wall in panic for a moment, before a sigh of relief escaped the teen's lips as he spotted his partner. Thank god... but that relief was quick to fade away as Mephiles began targeting his other, winged friend. Shiya didn't typically get seriously pissed off at enemies normally during a fight. Sure, he'd get angry or annoyed, but rarely vengeful towards the enemy... this wasn't one of those times.

"..."

"...Hey Mephiles." He called out to the villain an an eerily calm voice; cyan light flowing throughout Shiya's body, spreading out off of his forms in waves that began to cover the room. The air began to grow hazy, shimmering as an unnatural entity seemed to be tugging on the very existences of everyone in the room. 

"Hit or Miss?"

Just as Kirby entered the scene and Eggman was blown away, the engine room around the fighters and Mephiles disappeared in it's entirety as the dark room was replaced with blinding light. The red-cloaked mage rushed towards Mephiles as several Monados flew from the ground surrounding them; now revealed to be some sort of endlessly expansive wasteland, filled to the brim with various weapons as if they were growing from the ground like plants. Rookie no longer found himself struggling on a ledge, but lying safely on the dusty floor as well!

There was even a complete copy of the Absolution visible off in the distance, something that would undoubtedly appear disorienting.

Shiya rushed towards Mephiles in an all out assault. Empowered by his realm, he relentlessly assaulted the former-faker with every weapon that came to mind--Literally! He stared off by sending his monado flying towards Mephiles, the blade burning green with it's purge effect, before firing a storm of weapons whistling down onto the enemy.
