NPF Avatars 5 - Let's Leave a Mark

[POS Industries]

"So no matter how much I cut off your head, you'll just pop up right here again unless I... break that crystal of yours. I'm sure you don't mind, of course?"

"Actually...."

The funny thing about darkness, such as the complete lack of light that escapes the aura of nothingness emanated by Pedros Nihilem, is that it's totally indistinguishable from other surrounding darkness, such as the vast empty black that was once the Pantheon of the Gods. So it's not much of a surprise that it didn't quite catch our hero Mesden's attention until bursting out from the floor beneath her, enveloping her entirely in an instant.

"....I think I'd like to keep it the way it is, thank you very much," POS sighed, crossing his arms in front of him as the crystal faded from view once more.

"Too slow, buckos!"

As the crew of the unwieldy NPF megazord tried to figure out exactly how to pilot their mechanical monstrosity, Rei Overdrive's left energy blade came down through the head of the Wind Dragon head (which, along with the other four dragon heads, had just barely missed their target when Gaia finally fell apart and gravity went bye-bye, in case you were wondering).

Pausing for a moment to locate the megazord's main cockpit, Rei took aim with her right blade and plunged it forward.

"Wow...nice place."

"Oh hey, thanks!" Rei Zeus beamed at Flare's compliment, "Yeah, you know how spaceships usually have this whole quasi-futuristic motif going with off-white walls and chrome and all that stuff? Yeah, we thought we'd go a different way with it. Plus, the Riyal is officially classified as an office building in our records, so Pe-chan decided to decorate accordingly. I think it turned out nice...."

"Bridge to transporter room," an older male voice came on over the intercom.

"Captain NexGen! Hiiii!! We're just on our way to join you! What's up?"

"Ah.... Okay," the former Gaian supermod continued, "Yeah, we're getting some weird readings from the, uh, other you's battle site. Seems an atmosphere has spontaneously appeared there. Scans are indicated it was generated by some kind of plush toy that's modeled after one of those Newb guys we have on file--Amalgam."

"Oh, neato," Rei Zeus pondered for a moment, "It'd be kinda cool to know how he pulled that off. We'll have to look into it one day. Anyway, raise shields, power up weapons, and open fire on his position. We'll be up there with you shortly, 'kay?"
