NPF Avatars 5 - Another Version Of The Truth

[PyrosNine]

A giant white cylinder shot down from the sky, crashing into the Gaian earth, revealing, the Judge, a 40 year old woman who works at a book store and learned the rules only so that she could have more customers.

"Battle over! Battle over! Wizzle loses his argument, because the very method of summoning a Five Headed Dragon would give Busterblader 5600 attack points, due to the fact that in order to summon Five headed dragon, you needed to fuse 5 dragons together, and Five headed dragon counts as the sixth, giving Buster Blader a 3000 attack boost, 600 points over Five headed Dragon. Furthermore, while five can only be destroyed by a light monster, it is incredibly weak against any card that can return it to it's owner's hand, and also against magic and trap cards. Especially if Buster Blader destroyed every other monster on the field and the opponent used fissure, which is a cheap tactic!"

The Judge held up a plaid flag. "The penalty of Wizzle is as follows: JADEN YUUKI!"

A cannon sprouted from the judge capsule, and fired.

"GET YOUR GAME ON!!!!" The strangely haired duelist yelled as he shot through the air, and crashed hard into the Water Dragon head, making a crater.

"And Cyrus too!"

The cannon shot again.

"Jaaaaddeeeen!"

Jaden reached up from his perch atop atop the Water dragon head. "Cyrus!"

"Jaaaden!"

"Cyrus!"

"Jaden!"

"Cyrus!"

The love the two prepubescent card players had was strong.

But sadly, a fell breeze took Cyrus off course and he crashed into the Fire Dragon head.

"Okay! Now that we've stopped being silly for quarter of a second, and are likely to have more silliness in the near future, let's get on the attack! All together now, let us attack Rei with our combined weapon systems!" Pyros ordered, and the Supermegavoltrozord's eyes glowed a bright neon rainbow, readying to fire.

[Wizardcat]

"You argue that Five-Headed Dragon is weak to magic and trap cards while Buster Blader has no immunity to either, himself? And then, Buster Blader needs two tributes to be summoned, while you can just use Dragon's Mirror or one of the other fusion cards besides Polymerization and get Five in a single turn? That's not even mentioning that as an earth attribute mon-" Water Dragon Head Plushie Wizardcat was stopped mid-sentence by a Jaden Yuki impact. While Water Dragon Head Plushie Wizardcat snarled in pain, Wind Dragon Head Wizzle leaned over and snapped up the duelist.

...What? They were hungry and nobody really liked him, anyway. Yugi and the Pharoah were much more super special awesome. Then, Pyros started jabbering about attacking or something; While Pyros was a tempting target, an attack on him might hit the others. Some he really couldn't care about, and some he hoped he hit (particularly Nikose), but some were more or less "not-targets". Rei it is.

Moving on, Dark Dragon Head Hikari bit the Earth Dragon Head to wake them up. Despite a bit of infighting from there on out, the five heads took aim at the Rather Enormous Ironwork and launched five beams of fire, water, earth, dark, and wind energy at the android.

[POS Industries]

Rei Overdrive and the (let's assume) fully assembled NPF Supermegavoltrozord stared each other down for a brief moment, preparing to launch into a spectacular battle amidst the collapsing hellscape of Gaia Online.

And then the hellscape totally collapsed.

The "birthing" process of Pedros Nihilem had finally taken its toll on the world, the planet's interior having been almost completely hollowed out and the remaining crust breaking away and floating aimlessly in space. Very little atmosphere remained, and anyone not safely contained within a giant robot would be finding themselves in a terribly unpleasant situation.

Within the main bridge of the Supermegavoltrozord, a voice began broadcasting over the comm system. "Heya guys! You may want to hang on for just sec," the voice of Rei informed them, "Pe-chan's just finishing up so there's not a lot of room to fight, but I think I can use my artificial gravity generator to bring enough rock together to build a solid base. Then we can get our super special awesome epic space battle going, 'kay?"

The massive glowing body of white light that surrounded Rei took off around the Gaian debris field, collecting what remained of the planet's crust and pulling it along in her own personal gravity field, arranging it together into a more-or-less stable surface, finally bringing the Supermegavoltrozord down upon it.

"There, that should do it.... Everyone ready?"

In the distance, the strange matter-destroying energy reaction surrounding the nascent god-Pedro stopped spreading outward and began to collapse within itself, spinning rapidly around itself like a pitch-black cyclone and concentrating at the point that could be best described as its top. Suddenly, a flash of light burst open and the dark energy began funneling into it, briefly revealing a humanoid form in the center of it.

Sorry I've been so quiet lately, but this all required a great deal of focus, Nihilem voice echoed through the minds of the assembled NPFers, and I'm afraid, quite sadly, that I'm still going to have to take my leave for a bit longer as I have a very important matter to which I must immediately attend. Have fun with Rei, and I really -do- hope I get to see many of you later! Ciao!

POS vanished within the portal, which itself immediately closed behind him, leaving Rei Overdrive and the NPF Supermegavoltrozord very much in the same position they were in a moment before, but the chaos surrounded them had waned and they stood upon the chunk of rock, floating silently in space with the only light being cast from millions of miles away by the star around which Gaia Online had previously orbited.

"Okeedokee, let's get this show on the road," Rei announced over the comm system, which she followed by firing off a large number of energy orbs that scattered around her target before coming to a dead stop. Extending her arms in front of her and opening her hands outward, she fired a series of beams from each of her fingertips, which collided with the stationary orbs and quickly forming a network of energy which surrounded the NPF robot.

Moving her fingers like a marionette, Rei manipulated the orbs, causing the beams to cut into the zord's armor from seemingly every angle, hoping to confine and destroy the machine in her deathtrap.

"Hehehe, this should be interesting.... What do you think, guys?"

------------------------------------------------------------

"...and so that's the story of how I created Ceti Alpha 5. Thinking back on it, I probably should have thrown in that lake I was wanting to do, but there's really only so much time and I had to move onto other projects...."

The High Creator sat upon his throne at the Pantheon of the Gods, regaling his fellow deities for the umpteenth-thousandth time with some story of his great universe-creating deeds. This isn't to say he was a boring person, but when you exist for eternity there's only so many stories one can tell and he'd been through them a few times. A number of the other gods had learned to tune him out accordingly on days like these, obviously.

One god apparently hadn't, however.

"So it's your job, then," a voice from the back asked, "to keep watch on all the worlds you've created?"

"For the most part, yes," the High Creator nodded, attempting to discern his interviewer's identity, "I tried leaving it in the hands of my eldest son many eons ago, but it didn't go very well, I'm afraid...."

"Yes, I heard about that... Funny how those sorts of mistakes can come around to haunt you again and again, isn't it? Still, it seems that even now you've been slacking off on the job. You forgot to keep an eye on Gaia Online...."

"Gaia....?" the High Creator whispered to himself, rising from his seat. At that moment, the Pantheon began to shake violently, a low rumbling coming from the floor beneath them. "What in my name is going on he--"

A giant wave of darkness burst out from the floor, instantly consuming the High Creator within it before splintering out in every directions, devouring everything around and leaving only cold emptiness in its place.

The torrent subsided as quickly as it came, leaving only one being standing alone in the blackness that had once been the bright, beautiful, and ornate home of the gods. Some remnants of the marble floors and pillars hung in the void, leading a path to the High Creator's vacant throne.

"I'd say that was a fairly successful test run," Pedros Nihilem smiled, taking a seat in the one remaining chair, "Guess there's not much to do now but wait for my new siblings to show up. I certainly hope they don't disappoint...."

[Arhra]

Arhra Two and Rei Zeus escaped the effects of Wizzle's shadow breath in quite a complex way.

"It'll be a cold day in hell before pansy darkness takes me out." Arhra sniffed. What was it going to do, make things hard to see?

She was about to loudly lament how Pyros talking about the ridiculous five headed dragon's vulnerability had undermined her own realisaiton that light was not represented by the dragon's heads so now she'd look like copycat and then use a deadly TEN THOUSAND LIGHTBULB BARRAGE, when she was rudely interrupted by the planet disintegrating beneath her. It wasn't the first time this sort of thing had happened to her.

Arhra One, who'd been about to give Rei Overdrive the knee-capping of her life, found herself in a similar situation.

However, Arhra knew all about how to survive in space. She immediately exhaled.*

Thankfully, they were prevented from having to go to greater effort, like discovering whether or not regenerative capabilities stop you dying of suffocation or attempting to create a crude oxygen tent out of shapechanging chaos wings, by a pair of convenient dimensional portals. No explanation will be immediately forthcoming.

Arhra Four (the awesome one headed dragon), having a hamster ball of death attached to her tail, had been carried along in Wrath's zord docking. She wriggled around, whipping so her tail would be sticking from the back and she could cling on like a scaly backpack. Arhra had refused to stay in her initial position - a dragon sticking out of the not so general crotch region was too dirty for her tastes.

She spread her wings, as an attempt at a dramatic cloak for the zord, but since she was reasonably small in comparision it didn't look very good. More agitated wriggling and Arhra shrank her body to use the extra mass for big wings and draped them about the zord. Cloak-riffic!

Then all of a sudden they were in space. Fortunately for her, her draconic biology was enough of a rip-off of Rhiya's (essentially non-existent) one, that hard vacuum caused no harm to her.

She grinned. " I'm Arhra. I can breathe in space." Of course, it didn't mean she could speak in space. In space, no-one can hear you scream.

Realising this, she shouted just for the hell of it. "YOU KNOW, I REALLY HOPE REI DOESN'T REMEMBER SHE HAS THAT STUPID HEADBAND WITH HER! THAT WOULD BE BAD!"

There was an awkward silence. As distraction, Four began gnawing on one of the megazord's head.

Arhra Five, of course, was safely inside several tons of metal and probably didn't really need to breathe anyway, being half robot and all. Her robo-shell simply floated, a near spheroid that gave little indication of the frenzied activity inside as she performed on the fly upgrades and pillaged the secrets of her three captive Reis.

Of course, seeing space and two of her selves not exactly in space-adapted bodies, Arhra was prompted to take action. Pirated technology that had been literally taken from one of the Reis was tested, powered up and activated, using stolen authorisations.

A pair of hyperlink portals unsteadily wavered open, dumping the pair in a pleasant park adjacent to Arhra's home. Enlightened self interest assuaged, Arhra Five got back to work.

That's thinking with portals!

*This actually is the right thing to do!

[Bailey]

Amalplush panicked when they all ended up in space. Fire doesn't do well in a vacuum.

Following Arhra's example... What was he THINKING? Amalplush exhaled.

Seeing as how random crap came out of his mouth every time he exhaled, and the earth dragon head decided to pitch in, this worked out quite well for him, as the planetoid now seemed to be seven or eight times larger, with plenty of dirt and veins of raw metals to support some sort of ecosystem at a later date, especially since there was some terraforming equipment sitting just beneath the surface.

This activated and began issuing a breathable atmosphere.

Uhhh... Too bad that would take a while to work, and the five-headed dragon needed to breathe RIGHT NOW. Also too bad that there was no water. What's a planet without ponds?

Amalplush grabbed a rock in its mouth and chucked it at the wind head, then another and chucked it at the water dragon head.

[TheBlindMime]

A very dazed TBM raised his head from an adorably small medical gurney, "¡Mis pantalones se están quemado!" he declared in a frantic screech, his nurse, a heavily drugged jon lennon fan was quick to assauge his fears.

"No, no estas quemado," TBM relaxed visably at her words, until she decided to open her big spanish speaking mouth again. "Es enfuego!"

"Ay yi yi yi yi!" Up sprang the little flamming mime, who was as a plushie only minorly flame retardant. Fortunately for mime who would have ran in circles screaming spanish obscenities until he happened to have his legs burn away there was someone to calmly rationalize what to do here.

"Put that [expletive removed: what did you expect] fire out you [expletive removed: dead people are mad] [expletive removed: at the living anyways.]!!"

"Ok!" R Dorothy Drugged Fan responded by spraying TBM down with the handy and close by fire extinguisher. "Oh, now your pants are burned."

"Si, ahora mis pantalones se están quemado." TBM replied snotilly, before smelling something powerful in the air, "¡Queso!"

"Thats annoying, speak english!" R Dorothy hated switching languages more then once in a post, with a swing of the extinguisher she laid TBM out.

Who popped right back up as soon as the scent of chedder with some hint of jalapeno filtered into his nose, "CHEEESE!!!" He was storming up the unending treadmill path once more, charging whatever useless thing it was that could be charged by that. Seemed somewhat pointless with Wrath on board but, he was doing his part dammit!

[mauve]

As the Right Hand of Justice ( or the right hand of the mutant abomination that was the NPF Megazord, more accurately), Mauve knew exactly what had to be done.

The Robo-Hand gave Rei the middle finger.

????? Eol questioned, somewhat annoyed. Was that it?

"Fine, fine... I'll add a bit of this too. Critics." Mauve's fingers flew across the holographic keyboard once more. The megazord's arm raised towards Rei, and energy projectiles flew from the outstretched palm.

[Mesden]

"Aha!" a hauntingly sweet voice echoed out into the darkness Pedros had created, and like a spark of flame in a dead forest night came a blue, ethereal portal with a pair of hands at the two side-ends, as if to hold it open while a pair of legs hopped through, carrying the body of the all too formerly absent Mesden, the portal closing behind in her a minimizing swirl.

She found herself standing on the poorly lit path to the throne and merely glanced around, seemingly unimpressed.

"Not a stickler for details when you go about creating a universe, are ya?"

[Inbred Chocobo]

There was a giant red button on IC's console. It was there, in plain sight. It had a sign on it, which the sign read "Fuse with the other zords controlled by the NPFer's to make a kickass robot to beat up Rei." IC has never seen that button before. So, in the respect of the great Megas XLR, he hit the button.

Suddenly, IC's zord still stuck in the robot, bent in its position. Then fired its jets to get it crooked in the hole. This caused part of the zord to get close enough to the shoulder to join with it, then the rest of the zord pulled out. Yay now the robot had two arms! Something almost completely unheard of until now.

Now that IC was part of the functioning robot, he had come in just in time to join Mauve in the flipping off. Now that Rei has suffered from the ultimate demise of two robots flipping her off, IC joined Mauve in firing projectiles at Rei. Well, unlike Mauve's energy bolts, IC's were missiles. Though they flew at Rei, and they meant to hurt her, so it worked out for the best.

[Nikose Tyris]

Nikose was quite upset to discover he was inside a refridgerator. "HOW THE HELL DID I GET HERE?" He bellowed from inside the Zord's knee. He heard the zinging from outside, and felt an energy orb slice through the side of the Fridge. And his spleen. As he healed and Crawled out (With absolutely no Air so this was also uncomfortable) He crawled up the Megazord and pushed his way through the chest plate, between two gaps.

"Thank god I'm within the electric barriers which trap oxygen inside, even if keeping nothing else protected." He said. ((And if we find we're in a bind, we just make some shit up.))

He pushed his way to where the power core was, and saw that it was badly damaged from Rei's orbs already. Using Nenyel, he sent Verb-waves to the rest of the team. "Power Boost immenent. Forget about me for now, just drive this sucker. Figure out who has Leg control, do a rush." He pushed the power core of the Zord out of the way, and got in, in it's place.

For reference on how this looked, well...

Like Monkey. He powered the entire system effectively, and then some.

Yeah, Nikose was the new powercore to the Zord System. Also Augmenting it's power better than that fag Titanus ever could have.

Stupid Titanus.
