428. Sixth Mission ~Couple's Therapy~

Tony eats a Cheeseburger while watching Bruce.

"Hey..." whispered a Superior Soldier wearing EndoSym. "Don't you think that Stark is being too obsessed with that Batman guy?"

"Yeah!" said another. "Why don't we just go on with the-...? Y'know! The plan!I have an idea! Why don't we just place the Serum in the Water System! THEN we can take over the world!"

"But... Tony would be really pissed with you," said the third soldier.

"Good idea! You tell him!" The guard pushes the third guard as the third guard sighs and enters Tony's office.

"Uh, sir...?" asked the third armored Superior Soldier who is guarding Tony's office.

"Gallifrey! My man!" smiled Tony. "Hehehey! How's it goin'?"

"It's just that... you're so obsessed with The Batman."

"So...?"

"So... We thought that instead of wasting time about The Batman... Why don't we focus on other things...?"

Tony frowns and stares at the guard. 

"'Other things...?'" he asked.

"Y-... Yes! Yeah!" smiled the third guard. "The Extremist Serum and spreading it through something like the water system or somethin'..."

"'Water system?'" Tony stands up and approaches him, activating his armor and stomping toward him. "Are you calling me stupid? Because I'm not."

"Instead... of wasting time on the Bat..."

"'WASTING TIME!?'"

"Uh..."

"WHAT!?"

"Uh... N-No... I was just-!"

"EXCUSE YOU!?"

The guard backs away as Tony approached menacingly. "It was Gary and Davis! They suggested that we should move things forward with the plan!"

Tony squints his eyes and stares at the guard.

The guard stares back, sweating like crazy.

"HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Tony cackled hysterically.

"I'm not in trouble?"

*Pchoo...*

"NO, WAIT!!!"

*PEW!!!*

*SPLAT!!!*

The man, with his armor still on, but also with a hole in his chest, falls to the ground, dead.

Tony drags his body across the floor while a trail of blood follows after.

Tony drops the man in front of the Superior Soldiers, who all back away.

"Gary? Davis, right?" asked Tony, as the other Superior Soldiers went quiet. "YOU!!! YOU TWO!!! Yeah! Hi! Hello! Were you...? Heheheheh... Were you the one who suggested to this 'now-very-clearly-dead-person' that I should 'stop wasting time on Batman...?'"

They stay quiet.

"WELL!?" he roared.

"Sir...! We just think that we could just make everyone in the world a Super Soldier today instead of wasting so much time on Bruce!"

Tony stares at the guard known as Gary.

They stare back out of fear.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" cackled Tony. "REALLY!? REALLY!? Oh, sure! Why don't we just dilly dally and put the juice in the FUCKING WATER SYSTEM!!! I was so... STUPID!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Sir..." said Davis. "What's so dangerous about Batman? Is it because he's smart enough to defeat you?"

Tony sighs. "Yeah... Yeah, I think you're right...!" his sense returns. "Why should I spy on Bruce! I could take him! RIGHT!?"

"Yeah..." said Gary.

"Yeah!" said Davis.

"Yeah! I could just go there and kill him right now, right!?"

"YEAH!!!" cheered the others. 

"LET'S DO IT!!!"

The guards cheer for Tony.

*BANG!!! BANG!!!*

*SPLAT!!! SPLAT!!!*

Gary and Davis drop to the ground, dying, with holes in the bellies of their armor.

Tony flies down to them as the Superior Soldiers, out of fear, back away.

Tony shoots Davis in the head first.

"Sir..." Gary grabs his leg. "Sir, I beg of you... My kids don't have a mother-..."

*BANG!!!*

Gary's head drops dead.

"I've... made mistakes before. I have... I very well have. Because what human doesn't? Right?Now, what makes an armor useful?"

Everyone stays silent.

"WELL!?"

"U-Uh...! It protects people!" yelled one.

"RIGHT!!! Right..." he said. "Exactly! We create a suit of armor around the world. Right...But... what if that armor... I don't know...IT HAS A FUCKING HOLE IN IT!!!?You can see these idiots as examples..." Tony points to the two dead guards. "WELL!!!?"

"A faulty armor has gaps?"

"YES!!!" he yelled. "So, these gaps! Wouldn't you say... not knowing about Batman would be a gap...? I'm sure he's already out there preparing to fight me off... RIGHT NOW...! There he is thinking HE'S FUCKING BETTER THAN ME!!!And what happens if we get found out? What happens... when Bruce finds a way to beat me!? This is THE Batman, people! They've been around the Multiverse for years! Being the second most dangerous warriors as heralds of motherFUCKing Barbatos!It's not about anyone being smarter than me!It's not about ego!" Tony smiles. "It's about fear."

"You're afraid?"

"Afraid? Of course, I'm fucking afraid! Another tiger is in the same FUCKING MOUNTAIN!!! A GAP is in my GODDAMNED armor!So? We get rid of it...But we do it the right way.We learn that jackass's weakness."

"Peter..." said one guard.

"Yeah..." sneered Tony. "Peter. For now, he wouldn't be able to lay a finger on me, because it'd piss Peter off. I'll just have him killed by the soldiers of my new army.I won't repeat my mistakes...I ALWAYS... learn from my mistakes!"

Earlier...

Mark looks at a picture of Amber on his phone, and sighs while Josuke and the others are thinking of who to use for the battle outside the stadium.

"What the hell do you mean, 'You don't know who's going to fight for us!?'" asked Gumball.

"I mean... I'll find someone that fits for the job!" yelled Josuke. "I was making stuff up!"

"Why don't we have that lady from that time the Rock Humans were defeated around four months ago?" asked Mark.

"Oh! You mean my little kind of sister, Gabrielle?" smiled Josuke.

"It's weird that she's kind of your sister," said Gumball.

Darwin punches him in the shoulder.

"But...I WAS ABOUT TO SAY...!!!That... that makes sense," replied Gumball/

Now...

The Jazz Fusion stare at Gabrielle and Narcos, who are arguing.

"That's the second Reaper...?" asked Mark.

"Uh-huh! Sure! Sure! I'm supposed to be the one who says sorry!?"

"Yes," respectfully said Narcos.

"After doing EVERYTHING for this Goddamned family-!!!"

"It's weird that you call us a family," said Yurielle, reading a book in brail.

"I agree," said Mercuria, reading the non-brail version, which is just the regular version... Yeah...

"I beg to differ," said F.F., reading a picture book upside-down.

"I HAD TO DO THAT THING YOU MADE ME DO!!!"

"Well," said Narcos, respectfully. "You had to do that thing so that our partnership could continue."

"BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT!!!"

"Yes. And now that you did it, you're SO happy, aren't you?"

"YEAH!!! WHY AREN'T YOU!? YOU TOLD ME TO DO IT!!!"

"WHAT ARE YOU EVEN FIGHTING ABOUT!?" asked Josuke.

"We got into a fight and she burned my buttons collection," said Narcos.

"BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TO!!!" yelled Gabrielle.

"Why would you tell her to?" asked Josuke.

"I don't know," said Narcos.

Josuke sighs. "Gabrielle, your 'ex-...'" he said with quotation marks. "-... was being sarcastic. Now, can you PLEASE make up, make out, and join us...Maybe do a little signature pegging or something?"

"NO!!!" yelled the pair.

Josuke smiles. "Jazz Fusion? I have a mission for us."

"So far, we've only done one mission where we actually saved people," said Mark.

"You'll get used to it!" smiled Josuke. "But this IS saving my kinda little sister's love life!"

Gabrielle and Narcos are still arguing in the background.

"So..." said Mark. "How do we do this?"

Josuke smiles.

Later...

"Josuke, this is a terrible idea," said Mark.

"Dude... I have Japanese blood and you have Korean blood and WE'RE PRACTICALLY FRIENDS!!! Right...?"

"I guess..." said Mark.

"Yeah! Now, Mark. This is one of my INGENIOUS ideas where I fix problems like usual!"

"Josuke..." said Finn.

"Any time now... those two-..."

"Josuke..." said Jake.

"-...will get back together-..."

"Josuke..." said Spongebob.

"-...will set things straight-..."

"Josuke..." said Gumball.

"-...will fall in love all over again-..."

"Josuke..." said Darwin.

"-... and we'll soon get into that tournament as easy as pie."

"Hey... Is Narcos dead?" asked Patrick, smiling while eating popcorn.

Josuke's eyes widen. "What? No, he's just slee-... OH MY GOD!!!"

Gabrielle finishes breaking Narcos' buttons in half, as Narcos lies down with his mouth foaming saliva. "HOW'D YOU LIKE THAT!???"

"He had buttons with him!?" asked Josuke.

Later...

"I've now removed his buttons," said Josuke. "Test 2."

Gabrielle and Narcos look away from each other.

"Any second now..." said Josuke.

6 hours later...

The Jazz Fusion is asleep in the Reapercave.

Josuke and Mark, however, are still awake.

"I don't think this is working," said Mark. "Don't you know anyone elsewhere we could have a chance with those bigshots like Goku, Superman, Wonder Woman, Thor, Captain Marvel, or Vegeta?I could take them but-..."

"Trust me, Mark... I don't think you... or neither I... can... beat... any of those people you just mentioned..."

"You can't use Ultra Judgment?"

"No... Because I'll be a Beyond OL Fighter."

"Right... How strong are those guys?"

"Well... Goku and Superman can possibly shatter an entire universe... Wonder Woman is like a Super Soldier, but she's planning to take off her bracelets and release her true Goddess abilities in the fight and could possibly equal (or even be stronger than) Goku or Superman... Thor can destroy a solar system... and the same with Captain Marvel... Vegeta could also obliterate the universe... Counting that he gained Perfected Ultra Ego."

"Uh-...huh... So... They could all totally completely obliterate my Dad..."

"Yep... puh..."

"And therefore us..."

"Y-Yes...UNLESS WE HAVE GABRIELLE!!!I... think..."

Gabrielle and Narcos are still looking away from each other.

"God-...WAKE UP!!!"

"They can't hear you..." said Mark, grabbing his ears, which are ringing.

"WAKE-... UP!!!"

Josuke Wahrewoges.

"HOLY SHIT!!!" yelled Mark, looking away.

"Oh... Sorry... that was embarrassing," said Josuke, woging back. 

"What was that...!? I felt like my heart was beating so fast!"

"Aswangs, like other predatory Cryptids and Grimms, have a pheromone that makes you afraid of us."

"EVEN VILTRUMITES!???"

"Y-... Yeah... I have double the pheromones because I'm a hybrid of both an Aswang and a Grimm."

"Hey..." said Gabrielle, finally talking. 

"SHUSH!!!" Josuke grabs Mark's face.

Mark spoke in a muffled voice. "You were the one talking."

"I'm sorry," said Gabrielle. 

"For burning my buttons?"

"Sorry for getting so angry when those women were flirting with you..."

"I'm listening..." said Narcos.

"I shouldn't have acted that way..." said Gabrielle. "Being jealous and angry... and pushing you away because of it..."

"I'm sorry, too," said Narcos. "I shouldn't have pushed you away because you were acting so jealous. I was just annoyed because I felt like I became... a more... sexual person because of you. And... I didn't like it."

"We're breaking walls, here, Grayson!" Josuke smiled, punching Mark's shoulder over and over again. "Ow!" Josuke grabbed his hand, which gets injured by punching Mark.

"I just... wanted you to know that I love you..." said Gabrielle.

Narcos sighs. "You haven't sincerely said that since Tooru..."

"You heard that...!?" blushed Gabrielle.

"Yeah..."

"W-Well... Yes, I have! Remember that time when you called me cute back when you joined the JoJoCorps to visit that robot world or whatever!"

"Sincerely... Not like that or that time so you could PEG me!"

The Jazz Fusion is all awake and is staring at Gabrielle and Narcos like watching a soap opera.

"Right..." said Gabrielle. "I love you.And... Remember that time..." she blushes. "When I got turned on by the moonlight."

"Right... That was the only time when you sincerely said you loved me..."

Gabrielle smiles. "Computer... Activate Skywindow to bring moonlight in..."

Gabrielle and Narcos start making out.

"Uh-oh!" smiled Josuke. "My paternal instinct is kicking in. I'll close that down so I won't think about it and strangle Narcos later!"

"Your relationship is weird," said Mark.

Josuke activates the shields to give those two some privacy. "Hopefully the other Dads won't mind."

Meanwhile... in the Edge of Everything...

Prometheus sighs while sitting on his throne. "Uh... You okay, there?"

Miguel JoJo, the OG, while on his throne, facepalms and covers his ears, and closes his eyes. "Lalalalalalalalalala-!"

Meanwhile...

Miguel Ibarra wakes up in the middle of the night while in bed with Anne. 

"What?" asked Anne.

"I don't know...! It was... A disturbance," said Miguel.

Meanwhile...

Jotaro and Shizuka are having dinner.

Jotaro sneezes. "Chu..."

Shizuka laughs. "Your sneeze is adorable!"

"IRENE!!!" yelled Jotaro. "IS NARCISO WITH YOU!!?"

"He's working overtime!"

"Oh... so it's one of the variants..." said Jotaro. "Probably The Reaper's Gabrielle."

Meanwhile...

Josuke, Yasuho, and their daughter are having dinner.

"Achoo!" Josuke of Earth-SBR sneezes bubbles and accidentally plunders Yasuho's eyes.

"YAHAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!!"

Meanwhile...

Morty takes out a rifle.

"Morty, what are you doing?" asked Rick.

"Killing my daughter's boyfriend. You comin' with?" asked Morty.

"Sure... To stop you," said Rick, standing up as the pair walk out of the house. "Jk. I don't like him either. Let's transmute him into a homunculus."

"Can I come!?" smiled Jerry.

"*BURP!!!*" burped Rick. "For once? Yeah..."

"WOOHOO!!! I'll get the camera!" smiled Jerry.

Meanwhile...

Bruce stalks some criminals from up a gargoyle. "Chu!"

"HEY!!! HE'S OVER THERE!!!"

"Shit..." Bruce runs away.

Meanwhile...

Peter, after finishing the paperwork, sneezes on Tony.

"Are you fucking kidding me!?" asked Tony.

Now...

"Alright... The show's over," said everyone, falling back asleep.

"You guys are sick," said Josuke.

"You alright?" smiled Josuke, turning to Mark.

"No... just... rethinking about life," said Mark.

"Amber, right? The girl who... practically gaslighted you to the point where she broke her own arm and practically nearly framed you for it?"

"You know about that!?"

"You live on Earth-Grimm. Rick writes files about that place for years. Especially last year after the Guardians of the Globe got fricked over."

"Right..." said Mark. "What is it with relationships being... like this?"

Josuke sighs. "Sometimes... We meet the wrong people... It's fun for a time, but ultimately, they aren't right for us."

"Where's the right person?"

Josuke sighs. "Sometimes the right person is the one we least expect."

Mark thinks about someone back on Earth-Grimm. "Yeah... I guess... What about you? You finally consider Erina as the one you love...?"

"Jury's still out on her," smiled Josuke. "But, yeah... Considering it."

"Hey, what does this button do?" smiled Patrick.

The shields open.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!!" yelled Gabrielle and Narcos.

Josuke is scarred and faints.

The Jazz Fusion wakes up and tries watching.

"I WILL TEAR ALL OF YOUR TESTICLES!!!" yelled Gabrielle, as they all looked away. "Except probably Kuya Finn."

"Sorry, what?" asked Narcos and Finn.

"What?" asked Gabrielle.
