Problem Solvers

Nextgen Pirate H.Q.

Cheren had passed out from exhaust on Melody's back and awoke in the medical wing. Everyone else who assisted in the battle was either in bandages or receiving back massages from Kateenians, some of which were Karin, Jinta, or Kiki. "Leave it to you to steal the show, Cherry." He turned left to see Nebula and Panini.

"Heheh… hardly feels like a victory. I couldn't even knock her out."

"Unfortunately, it seems like credit for that battle will go to Skaios." Nebula figured. "Pirates don't care about fairness, especially when this is basically a game."

"Bullcrap, we totally deserve that victory!" Panini shouted. "Especially me! I actually won a solo battle! And ya had to go and miss it, Cheren!"

"It's kind of good because it means the other Emperors will try to focus on Skaios. He posed himself as the bigger threat by 'defeating' one of their own. Unfortunately, this'll also make it a problem to fight him ourselves. Some operatives are already working to take down the remaining Sky God officers; if we can beat Skaios without the others interfering, we'll definitely be able to steal the victory back."

"Which pegs the question of how do we take down a Sky God?" Cheren asked. "Not like any of us can use Firstborn, anymore."

"To that end, there's something I'd like to show you. Can you walk now, Cheren?"

The boy pushed himself off the bed and onto his feet, wobbling slightly. "I can walk enough."

Nebula led him and Panini to her captain's cabin. She walked around her desk and picked up a cutlass that was stabbed within it. The cutlass shone pink with purple feathers in the hilt, and had a skull on the knuckle side of the hilt. "Oh, you made a sword?" Cheren asked.

"Actually, my mom did."

"What?" Panini asked. "But Ay thought yer mum was… Oh, it's from the Spirit World?"

"Yeah, basically." Nebula turned the blade over to view it from all angles. "When she learned one of the Four Emperors was a rogue god, she crafted this sword with powerful Space Chi and convinced the 'powers that be' to send it to me. Ever since New Galaxia, my chi paths have gotten weaker from overexertion, so this sword was designed to equip me with a special armor containing its own chi that I can bend myself. What's more, it was also designed to even combat a god."

"Sounds like we could use it for more than just that." Cheren figured.

"You would think so, but… my mom wrote down a couple drawbacks." She smiled awkwardly and handed them a paper. The paper described everything else Nebula told them, so they skimmed down to the drawbacks.

1. The armor can only be used for 10 minutes. To use it longer would begin to damage your own chi and later your body. Once these 10 minutes pass, the armor will automatically disappear, and the sword will return to me. (NOTE: It is possible to deactivate the armor yourself and 'freeze' the timer, but the time will not reset once it's back on.)

2. The sword was exclusively designed to combat gods. If the chi outpour even accidentally touches a mortal, it will disappear and return home just the same. This is primarily a safety precaution should this sword fall into the wrong hands, so make sure to fight Skaios in a place where no one else is around.

3. Lastly, the sword isn't capable of killing a god, but if you're fighting an airbending god, it'll at least allow you to weaken or subdue him. In any case, be very careful with how you use the sword and where.

"Well, pirates aren't supposed to play fair, why should we abide by these rules!" Cheren joked.

"So, I don't go mad with power and be forced to drink God Poison!" Nebula retorted. "It's already unfair that a god is an Emperor, but since we don't have any other power-ups, this is our best chance at being even with Skaios."

"Is 10 minutes even enough time to take him down?" Panini asked.

"That's why we need to plan this battle carefully. For now, all I can do is wait for the others to capture the officers."

"Nebula, sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted you to know that Sugar has arrived. I'll be taking her to the brig." Jerome spoke through the intercom.

"Sweet!" Cheren beamed. "Wouldn't mind a little Sugar song to liven up my day."

In the brig, Emily and her parents were still crawling mindlessly in their cell, looked upon with pity by Don Quixote Sugar, Callie, and Melody. "Oh, my… it's worse than I thought." said the Italian singer. This was truly unlike Emily's usual demeanor, and it made Sugar sick to see her robbed of her true self. "I feel awful for not being here sooner. I could've been helping you guys."

"For now, just try to help Emily and the others." Melody replied. "If your musicbending could break your Age Regression, there's a chance—ahh, that's the spot…" She smiled euphorically.

"Excuse me?" Sugar cocked a brow.

"Hehe… Vweeb's rubbing my neck." Melody called attention to the small figure on her shoulder. "I can see why you like him so much, Sugar, Kateenian massages are the best~"

"Eh… but that's not Vweeb." Sugar smiled in confusion.

"Don't worry, I think his lessons are paying off!" said a tiny Yuta.

"YUTA, HOW DID YOU GET THERE?!" Melody burst.

"He helped me swap places with him! You've been through so much, Melody, I'll do whatever I can to help you feel better!"

"Ugh… feels-good-though-keep-it-up." she quick-mumbled.

"Hi, Sugar!" Cheren cheered, entering the room.

"Cherryyy!" Sugar bent down to hug her good friend. "Haha, I think you've grown an inch!"

"Sing me a song and I might age faster!"

"Nah, but then you wouldn't look cute!" She released him and stood, "Anyhow, are you ready to begin, Callie?"

"Oh, yeah, sure. Just let me get my heart into it… Ahem."

Callie began to sing the Calamari Inkantation, with Sugar using musicbending to make her notes flow into the Garleys' ears. The small-minded family seemed engaged to the music, almost hypnotically. Still, the song lacked power without music, so Callie's heart wasn't quite into it. "And I rule and I rule and I fuel this melody, you better kid!"

The group was anticipating a result, hoping this may be the solution to the Revert-O-Matic… but even as Callie continued singing, the family went back to their baby routines. "Hmm, it's not working." Sugar said. "Maybe I should sing with you! Um, do you think we could sing it in English or Italian?"

"It doesn't matter." Callie sighed. "Singing just isn't the same without Marie. If we were together, we could sing a much stronger melody."

"Well, we're gonna take down Skaios, anyway." Nebula figured. "For now, maybe Sugar should just sing on her own. We need to at least experiment with this."

"YAAAH!" Callie yelped, everyone falling on their rears as her head rang. "I-It's my Call! Um, hello? Who is it?" She held the tentacle by her mouth.

"Who do you think it is, you fool?!"

"K-Kommander Ineptune! I'm sorry I haven't been calling, it's just been pretty hectic up here."

"Yes, so I heard. According to our spies in Mandy's crew, Skaios escaped from Mandy's captivity and captured her in turn. I imagine it was nonstop fighting on your end, no time to chat. Anyhoo, I've done as you requested. The White Fang, Jake, and that tiny frog girl battled the Breakfast Club and seized an orange Devil Fruit that had come into their possession. They say it's getting ink all over their hands."

"You've rescued Squitaba?! Oh, thank you, thank you! W-Where is she now?"

"I'm having Manky hold on to the fruit, he's keeping it in his fortress. I don't see what you hope to do, the poor darling is all but dead."

"There's gotta be something we can do! Just don't let anyone eat her, please!"

"So be it. But we'll not allow you to see her until the Sky Gods are exterminated. Anyway, what's going on up there now?"

"Um… M-Mandy's unconscious and chained up, but I think they're gonna ask her about a traitor. Some of the crewmen said something about a spy from her crew." This was what Callie predicted was happening.

"I certainly hope that isn't YOU, dear. Mua ha ha! …Oh dear, I have to go. That blasted Pawtucket followed me. Toodles~" Ineptune hung up.

"Sigh…" Callie became a squid and lay downtrodden on the floor, "when she finds out I'm helping you guys, it's not gonna end well for my hometown. But I gotta tell Marie where Squitaba is. Maybe they can plan a way to save her."

"WOW, I JUST GOT IT!" Tiny Yuta proclaimed from atop Melody's knees. "Callie and Marie… are named after calamari! HAHA! That's so clever!!"

The others just stared at him blankly. Melody flicked him away to test his denseness.

Mobius Sea

Ineptune emitted poison acid from her body and molded it into a toxic serpent, ramming it into a giant clam composed of beer. The clam's "shell" was impenetrable, and it began to whack and beat the serpent around before snapping it in its shell. The clam spun and blasted above the surface, becoming a geyser and launching Ineptune away. Pawtucket unloaded a storm of Beer Fists up at the mermaid, blasting her up higher, but the mermaid spewed a beam of acid vomit down at the core of the beer, forcing Pawtucket down. "You may be a Logia beerbender, but my acid is much deadlier than your beer!"

Ineptune splashed back in the sea, creating a wave of acid, but Pawtucket's beer wave dwarfed hers. Liquid bullets launched at Ineptune; Pawtucket was willing the alcoholic parts to shoot out and catch aflame, resulting in Ineptune's acid to combust, but the mermaid flipped back and quickly swam away. "I still haven't gotten my niece back, so I need someone to take my anger out on!" Pat shouted. "You're about to get beeried, you sea cow!"

"We'll see about that! You're not the only one with a Water-type Devil Fruit!" Ineptune began to expand in size, her body morphing into a more fish-like appearance. She had the mouth of a crocodile and dark yellow-green scales. Her mouth and body were enormous enough to swallow ships. To top it off, this form came with its own theme song.

"Let me tell you a story that few lived to tell… About a thousand-year-old fish, surely sent from Hell. He's the beast from beneath, and the king of the fishies. It's the Fish-Fish Fruit… Model: Ulysses. MODEL: ULYSSES!"

The titanic fish spewed a wave of acid, Pawtucket dodging to the left. He skied around the side of the fish, but just her sideways glance smashed Pawtucket's beer body to bits. He reformed underneath the waves, but braced himself as the demon dropped two-ton shits.

Inside the jungle base, Manky held the orange ink squash between his fingers, studying it. "An Inkling Devil Fruit… fascinating. I wonder who'll be the lucky Kremling to have this? At any rate, lock this in storage." He tossed the fruit to Ochaco Uraraka, chains on her ankles.

"Y-Yes, sir. …Ew, it's all over my hands!" moaned the young hero as her palms turned orange. "Who would ever eat a fruit like this…"

Free Kingdom; Overground Island

After the Serket Pirates joined the Sky Gods, they led Skaios back to their homeworld, where he and Jataro would tear out three chunks of the Underground and link them together, thus creating the "Overground." It had always been the monsters' dream to view a sky with real stars and clouds, and thanks to the power of Skaios, they now lived in harmony. Well, as harmonious as it could get in this kingdom; this was certainly the most pleasant island, if anything, as they were the only citizens who enjoyed the Free Kingdom.

Snowdin was a winter zone with pine trees and log houses with Christmas lights. Waterfall was an area with sparkling ground and flowing rivers. Then there was Hotland, with rivers of lava (a magic spell was in place so that the lavafalls would fall into portals and be warped back to the beginning, thus not burning anyone down below). However, Hotland was most remarkable for its laboratory.

The Raccoon Pirates accompanied Squam and Marie to this laboratory, the heat of the region causing them to sweat. Kirie had to discard her sweater and wear a tank-top, though Aurora was naturally adept to the heat. "I'm glad we don't get volcano missions often." Artie sighed. "Otherwise we'd need to bring a spatula to get our pants off our butts."

Haylee bonked him with her wrench. "Also, why only one spatula??"

They approached the lab and were scanned by a camera above the door. A red light turned green and allowed them entry. "Ahh, sweet air conditioning!" Artie sighed in bliss.

"Too bad it makes her sleepy." Marie remarked at the person sleeping on the computer desk. They appeared to be a yellow, chubby reptile in a lab coat.

Serket Pir8s Scientist

ALPHYS

Marie walked up and shook the woman awake. "Alphys! We're here."

"Snort, whuh?" Her eyes shot open. "M-Marie, ah, hi! You guys made it." She blushed awkwardly and scrambled to put on her glasses. "Air conditioning makes me real sleepy, but since you guys like it, i-it's only polite, hehe…"

"You said you had a solution to the 'Squitaba problem.'" Squam reminded, his heart slightly racing in nervousness. "Well?"

"Ah, yes…" Alphys shook her mouse to wake her computer, "I have it saved on my—sorry, that's a fanfiction, eh, that's fan art… ah, there it is!" She found a picture of a white star-shaped Devil Fruit with a purple stripe on one point and a heart on another.

"The Star-Star Fruit?" Aurora assumed.

"Actually, the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Dancer. It was one of the fruits we had in reserve, and I had been told Dr. Clown mostly made it as a joke. He captured some dancer he didn't like and turned him into a fruit."

"Pretty sick joke." Harry said.

"A-Anyway, given it's a Zoan-type, I thought it would be the perfect fruit for the experiment… and, low and behold. Come in, Mettaton!"

"Hel-LOOOOO, darlings~" Some doors slid open, and stage fog flowed in as a slender, mechanical man slid in, performing graceful, seductive poses with sleek legs. His right eye was covered by black hair and a purple heart glowed in his stomach. "'Tis me, the idol everyone craves! Smile, kiddies~ There's plenty for everyone." He twirled on his pink high-heels and blew them a kiss.

"… … …What?" Haylee asked.

"Hehe… I admit he's rather bizarre, but he's the fruit of my efforts!" Alphys grinned goofily. "Literally! I found out how to feed a Devil Fruit to a robot!"

Alphys played them a video of the fruit inside a capsule, multiple cords connecting it to a square-shaped robot balancing on one wheel. The capsule glowed and energy was transferred through the cords, into the robot. It seemed to spark and shake, a dense fog shrouding the camera. But through the fog, they could make out a silhouette, shaped like the very robot that was behind Haylee. "That's me, darling." Mettaton whispered in her ear.

Haylee punched him, "YOW!" hurting her knuckles on the metal.

"What's more, he seems to remember everything from when he was alive!" Alphys added.

"Indeed! I had a daughter named Marissa, about three ex-wives, and I'm wanted in Kentucky for stealing a bunch of candybars!" Mettaton twirled joyfully. "My soul was too bright to die!"

"So… if we could actually get ahold of Squitaba's fruit, we can do the same with her…" Marie configured.

"It's kind of scary that we can just bring people to life by turning their bodies into Devil Fruits." Harry said. "Just like with Brain and Mr. York."

They flinched when Marie's head started ringing. "Um, be right back!" She scurried away, pretending to hold an actual phone. "Hello? Yeah? …Oh, okay! I'll tell them!" She hung up. "Guys, I just got a call from Cal—I mean… the intel team." Because Alphys was one of Aranea's crewmen, Marie couldn't let her know they were still in touch with Callie. "It sounds like the Kremling Krew stole Squitaba's fruit. We might have time to rescue her before they decide to eat it. Let's go back to the studio and discuss a plan."

"Wait, before you go!" Alphys called. "Do you know if, uh…if they saved Undyne?"

"Undyne? Oh, uh, we're not sure…" Aurora just remembered Undyne was captured by the Boogey Pirates.

"Oh… well, now that Mandy's been captured, I'm sure we'll find her soon." The scientist grinned meekly. "I had the perfect date planned for when after the war is over… hehe, I'd hate for it to go to waste…"

"She'll be glad to hear that!" Haylee consoled. "Just have faith, she'll be back in no time."

However, heavy hearts weighed over the humans once they were reminded of Mandy's capture. As they were making the journey out of Hotland, Aurora asked, "Do you think we should try to help Aunt Mandy?"

"That is what Cheren would want." Harry said. "At the same time, Mandy is one of our enemies in this war, so I dunno what to do. Either way, I don't think we'd make it in time if Skaios decides to execute her…"

"I think I should go survey the situation. You guys go and figure out a plan for Squitaba. You can ask Meta Knight to take you to Mobius. That reminds me, Kirie, while you were at the treehouse, did you get the You-Know-What?"

Aye-aye, Cap'n! Kirie pointed at both eyes and made the gesture of putting on a cap.

"Great! 'Cause it might be time to bust it out!"

In the lab, Alphys proceeded to switch off the air-conditioner. "Oh, Alphys, darling? I'm feeling peckish and am in desperate need of oil~" Mettaton danced. "But please feel free to shower some on the outside~"

"You've certainly adapted to the fruit well." Alphys blushed. "I'll get some in a jiff-" The base began blaring with red alarms. "W-What? An intruder?" She rushed to her computer to bring up security footage. It displayed three figures violently ransacking the monster citizens of Waterfall. "O-Oh my… it's them. It's the traitors! Sunny Fist and Tani!" She recognized the raccoon Faunus and Forest Princess, along with Mason. "How did they get here?! Oh, what's it matter, I need to call Nea!" She scrambled to grab her cellphone, but dropped and kicked it under the desk. "D'oh, curses… c'mere, you, c'mere…"

"These strobe lights need more color, darling~!" Mettaton glided around the lab.

Santa Hylia

Queen Mandy was heavily chained to the mast, her wounds only partly treated. Vaati splashed water buckets over her face until she woke up, the queen's vision blurred. Skaios was glaring directly at her, and the Hope, Dice, and Serket Pirates were viewing her like a show display. "Today's yer lucky day, Mandy. I was all set to kill ye, but me loyal mates picked up some juicy intel: apparently, there be a spy in me crew, under YOUR command. And you're going to tell me who it is! If you do, I'll let you live in the brig and give ya time to repent yer actions. Sound like a plan?"

During this, Masaru, Kotoko, and Jataro were side-glaring at Monaca. They were baffled that she would choose to be here instead of already plotting her escape. The girl in question paid them no mind and only stared quizzically at Mandy. "Peh…" the queen coughed. "Sorry, Skaios… but I'm grateful to my spy for feeding me intel… The power of Gratitude compels me not to rat them out."

Skaios violently smacked her in the cheek. "So, you ADMIT there's a spy! WHO IS IT?! I want a name!"

"Who knows? Maybe I don't even know their name."

"Stall for even a second more and I'll tear off your limbs! Seems like a fitting punishment after what ye put me through. Now, last chance! Tell me who the spy is!"

"IT WAS ME!" Kokichi sprouted up between them, his grinning face soaked with darkness. "I was the spy all along! I am the Mastermind of ALL MASTERMINDS!"

"…" Skaios stared. "Kokichi, go to your Time-Out Corner."

Kokichi went to the Time-Out Corner. Skaios demanded, "Now, who is the real spy?"

"Fine. The spy is that red-haired boy."

"WHAT?!" Masaru shouted. "NO, SHE'S LYING! Tell 'em, Kokichi."

"Can't, I'm in the Time-Out Corner." he mumbled, inaudible from this distance.

"Grrr… as if I'd expect me own first mates to betray me!" Skaios grabbed Mandy's neck. "Besides, Masaru tried to attack one of your bases and was captured. He couldn't very well spy on me like that!"

"Maybe he only used that as an excuse to pass info to me."

"OH, FORGET IT!" Kotoko shouted, knowing this was pointless. "Captain, Monaca's the spy! It was all Monaca!"

"Dammit, Kokichi, did you rope Kotoko in to your act?!"

"No, it's true! Monaca tried to kill me!"

"Huh?!" Monaca gasped. "That's not true! Kotoko was going crazy because of the you-know-what word and attacking Haru-chan. She can only snap out of it with pain, so Monaca tried to use just the teensiest explosion to snap her back to normal without hurting her too badly."

"THAT'S A LIE! Captain, let's go to Monaca's room, there's gotta be something that can prove it!"

"Settle down." Skaios ordered. "I'm sure that was just a misunderstanding."

"NO IT WASN'T! She-"

"No… Kotoko is right." Monaca bowed her head in shame. "Not about the killing part, but… the other thing."

"W…What do you mean?" Skaios asked.

"Monaca… has been… Sh-She's been sending information to Mandy!" The child burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably and burying her eyes in her hands.

"W-Wait… but…whuh…" Skaios felt that her emotions were too real to be an act.

"It wasn't my fault! Honest!" Monaca's eyes were like waterfalls. "M-Mandy's pirates snuck onto our ship, and c-captured me! A helpless girl in a wheelchair looks like easy prey, doesn't she? Th-They kidnapped me, and did terrible things, a-and Mandy said if I didn't help her, she'd do even worse things! I'm sorry, Captain, I wanted to tell you, but I was so afraid!"

"It…It's okay." Skaios landed on Monaca's lap and hugged her comfortingly. "It'll be fine. I'm not mad at you, really…"

"Y…You're not?" Monaca sniffled.

"Yeah… I mean, it's hard to resist that witch's spell. I'm just glad we got this straightened out."

"Th-Thank you, Captain…"

Mandy raised a brow. That wasn't how she recalled her meeting with Monaca. In truth, the girl had flown to her ship in secret, presenting herself as some fangirl. "Please let me work for you Mandy, I promise I won't let you down, please please pleeeaaase!" she would beg with folded hands. The question was, is Monaca secretly planning a rescue, or betraying her queen? Either way, Mandy would let this play out.

Masaru, Jataro, and Kotoko felt they were defeated. Monaca was bending Skaios' judgment easily, and there was nothing they could do. "Monaca… I can't believe it." Nagisa whispered.

"I'm sorry, Nagisa. But I swear, I never mentioned you. Monaca was praying that you would be her trump card, her hope. …And you were very brave. Monaca is so grateful to you."

Nagisa's cheeks reddened, the boy looking at his shoes (and thankful he changed shorts before Monaca saw him). "I…I'm glad."

"Hmm, this is very touching," Aranea replied, "8ut the rules say tr8ors must 8e executed."

"Try and execute me first mates and I'll have ya stripped and strapped to the keel!" Skaios hissed.

"AAAAAH!" Aranea flushed blue and wriggled in place. "My, Captain, I didn't know you were so lewd!"

Skaios fixed his glare on Mandy once more and punched her in the eye. "And as for you, my offer for mercy has been revoked. You're going to pay terribly for everything you did to my loyal crew!"

"Your loyal crew? Please." Mandy cracked a smile, humored. "Who would ever be loyal to a pitiful child like you?"

"You're talking to the future Pirate King, you harlot, so ya'd best show me more respect!"

"You're nothing but a catalyst. Your crewmen only use you as a benefactor to do whatever they want. You're easy to manipulate, but also powerful, so you're convenient for the task. When the Next Generation reads history books about this war, they're going to mock you." Mandy put on a derpy face and spoke as such, "'No way! Sheila done dropped in the middle of the Four Emperors?! She done got between Mandy, and Kroctus, and the Big Bitch, and…and that Piece of Garbage?!'"

Skaios scratched her across the 'nose.' "Ya done asked for it now, ya horrid-!"

"Captain, wait!" Monaca spoke up. "As much as I'd like to see her suffer… now isn't the right time. Monaca thinks we need to do this properly." A cold grin crossed her features. "Ever since Mandy forced her into servitude, Monaca's been preparing the ultimate punishment. We will post it for the whole cosmos to see, completely destroying all the terror and rule Mandy has wrought."

"That sounds absolutely perfect!" Skaios beamed. "Very well, take her to the brig! I wanna hear all the juicy details of this punishment!"

"In the meantime, we have yet to find Undyne or Muffet." Papyrus mentioned. "Sans, you said Muffet was captured by Mandy too, right?"

"she was captured in the trench." Sans replied vaguely.

"Then we'd better get searching ASANow!"

Mandy continued to smirk through her bleeding mouth. We'll just see who has stronger loyalty, Skaios… Now that I've been captured, your kingdom will face the full fury of my crew. Including my citizens…

Vaati couldn't help but glare in Monaca's direction while hauling Mandy into the cabin. Somehow, I feel there is deceit behind her words. If only we had a 'reliable' lie-detector.

Nextgen H.Q.

The holo-chamber was rumbling violently, the Programs inside set to their highest difficulty. If one could view through the window, they would bare witness to the brutal treatment undertaken by the two players. Time ran out, so Maddy and Deku stumbled out of the chamber, gasping for breath. "Boy…" Deku breathed, "your Haki is really strong, Maddy."

"It's not strong enough." Maddy stared at her rugged hands. "I still can't make it gold… my chi just isn't perfect enough. At least this makes good practice for the White Haki. I just wonder if I can make it good enough to break his chi flow."

"If we keep training, we'll definitely be strong enough to beat him!" Deku said positively. "It's the only way I can bring pride back to Superbia's heroes."

"Heh… you're more noble than me." Maddy chuckled. "I just wanna cheer Chris up. Show him we got it covered."

Nebula returned to her cabin, having rested her sword at the desk as she began to shoot Starbursts and warp them through portals. She hasn't quite been in a fight since New Galaxia, so this was her time to warm up. She heard the door slide open, followed by an Italian voice, "'ey, Cap'n Nebula!"

"Louise?" Nebula turned to the former princess. "I thought you and Maria would've left for your mission by now. Everything okay?"

"Yeh, she wanted to have a quick snack first." Louise nonchalantly viewed around the cabin. "Hmm… fancy sword you got there. What's it made of?"

"Space Chi, I guess?" Nebula smiled awkwardly. "Sigh, I already talked to Cheren about it, but basically, it's a weapon for taking down Skaios."

"For real?! Heck, let me give it a swing!"

"You probably shouldn't. It's only designed for spacebenders, and it's dangerous to use overall. Let's save it until it's time to take down Skaios."

"No, really." Louise poofed into smoke, and the short Mushroomian grew into the tall and ominous Sasuke Uchiha, his Sharingan burrowing into Nebula's pupils. "I insist you let me take it."
