85.) We are the Dummies of Xaxel.

A mission was underway within multiple areas of Colossaverse 1. Amongst those many places was Gahwardia itself, moreso a place deep within Gahwardia. This place is known Warterror Falls and there we could find ZeeArc, ZeeShift and Demetrius in search of a certain subject. Upon their arrival they were met by a vicious Alpha predator. One of thousands or very powerful and territorial creatures known as Warterrors. Native to Gahwardia, which is why they possess a vast amount of aggression.

But… These creatures were not their only concern. The "subjects" they were after were actually called Dummies. There were five that they could locate and four of the five had already awoken. This meant very fierce battles lier ahead for Annihilo sect and its members, but the worst one was a being known as Mal McDave. His very essence gave off the same ominous signal as what's been lingering around the Colossaverse so heavily. He stood before ZeeArc and ZeeShift, speaking with them just before attacking.

ZeeArc: "Absolute Annihilation!"

ZeeShift: "Elemental+Birthright: Devastating Annihilation!!!"

All three attacks clashed head on and ruptured the core entirely. But just as it was about to explode, Mal came through with a sword and slashed everything in two. Then blitzed both brothers with palm to the face. ZeeShift was now in his left hand and ZeeArc on his right. Neither could break free from his grasp, struggle as they might. Mal flew forward with both in tow and summoned a mass amount of meteors. He held both brothers forward and smashed their melons through more than fifteen Planet-Killer meteors. Less than a second later and they were out of the summoned meteor shower.

"Both of you managed to suffer very little damage from that with Armored Zenchi… impressive." Mal says just before kicking both of them into nearby molten planetoids. Both suffered slight burns on their backs due to being taken by surprise. "GAUARH!!! Tchss… that burned like hell!" ZeeArc yelled as he tensed up his back from the pain. ZeeShift does the same while they both use annihilation to cure the injuries. Then they both bolt off to try and rush Mal once more.

"How trivial of you neanderthalic imbeciles. Come!" *GRIP* He catches ZeeArc's left footed kick and squeezes tightly on his ankle. Then does the same to ZeeShift's right handed haymaker. There could be slight crunches heard and as they clench… he slams them into each other. They collide face first of course, but ZeeArc holds strong and gets a hold of the back of Mal's head.

Mal: "H'What!? *SMASH* (he just used his own brother like a mallet?!)

ZeeShift: "Yeahh!!! How'd you like that swinging axe headbutt to the noggin you piece of shit. You're coming with us!"

Mal: "Such a potty mouth for such a mistaken young god. *SWISH* But my bladed cane and I just don't agree to that. You see… I'm far more than a visitor with a long stay period." *PRCH*

ZeeShift is punched and flies back a few feet while ZeeArc rushes in to counter. But no opening was left available to exploit. Mal had every inch of himself secured and ready to defend. Even though his stance was so… casual. He was barely bending his legs for extra stability and all his muscles were loose. Not even tensing to the max when swinging his cane. He smacked ZeeArc on the center of his forehead.

ZeeArc: "Tsss! AH!"

Mal: "Serves you right. *fwiTING* Hm?! How impudent of you." *FWIRP*

ZeeShift's fist was caught, but he didn't let that stop him. He followed up with a left legged roundhouse kick to the head. Mal flips the tip of his cane as he twirls it. He then stops it right on ZeeShift's shin bone. ZeeShift grits his teeth in irritation and pulls his leg back just before going into a series of twirls. Mal looks up to notice a ball of Annihilative essence coming down on him from above. What came with it was a powerful kick to stop Mal from being able to defend against the attack. But Mal was unfazed and blocked ZeeShift with his left arm, while using his right to lift the cane. The tip of the cane had Physical Zenchi wrapped around it.

Mal: "This attack is inefficient." *bwip*... *POP*

ZeeShift: "That's alright."

Mal: "Oh? *Fwip* (From behind me I see.)"

ZeeArc: "Physical Zenchi + Annihilation, Grand Eraser Fist!!!"

ZeeShift zips out of the way as Mal is engulfed by a MASSIVE ball of Annihilation Essence in a pure state. The ball is carried higher into the cosmos as it grows larger and larger. Both the brothers smile with the belief they had caught him. His power scale level was only a bit higher than theirs, so it was only right to ogle in their victory. But…

"You two impudent piss ants don't seem to have caught wind of my words earlier. For shame." Mal utters just before dispersing the Annihilation with the flick of his right wrist. It was mere child's play for him. Both ZeeArc and ZeeShift were taken aback by this and could only wonder how and why. Mal smiled and began to spit a tale.

Mal: "As I said before. I've been here for many millennia and have accumulated quite the resume over time. My power is great enough to squash your friend and the pup in one glare. I rival the apex as well.as council members you fools. Don't belittle my genius and fall!"

Both ZeeArc and ZeeShift fell to their knees as if a heavy force was atop their person. Mal floated down amd continued to speak to them as they struggle to stay from falling flat on their stomachs. They even went as far as to transform to their clan forms. Only to be able to muster enough strength to look Mal in the eyes.

Mal: "You need to understand that we dummies span here for one reason. We're here to collect concepts for a particular reason. You're better off keeping your damn distance from us, because none of us want to go eith your people. And the bad news is… your friends being there during their awakening means their essence will feed my siblings. Unlocking their sealed personality which will only further push their unwillingness to go." *Step* *step*

ZeeArc: "Tch! That means we're all in flr a challenging mission and we're all likely to fail!?"

ZeeShift: "Damn… what the hell!!!"

Mal: "Tahaha, do be warned young gods. We are all… very powerful beings with vast abilities tethered to our race of being. For instance… we can take on and completely embody the stats of the strongest being around upon awakening. And if there is none… we search with a radar until we find one. This is so we have a great head start on our mission."

ZeeShift: "What… awakens your people?"

Mal: "That's actually simple. The absorption of a single concept and a large intake of ANY kind of elemental essence."

ZeeArc: "Damn… we've goofed!!"

Mal: "Indeed!"

And just like that, every group besides Kishin's arrived at their given locations. Each had their essence sapped by the resting dummy they had found and that there… that triggered their awakening in full. They cracked and burst forth from their casted molds. Evolving into new beings after embodying their new concepts and powers. Their personalities unlock and they immediately could copy the language of those that assisted in their coming forth. And their brother before them… they spoke of their existence and mission. Then insisted the duo before ceased their attempts to retrieve them. Of course… Annihilo Sect didn't take orders, so fights broke out at every spot.

Neezah: "What the hell?! She turned into a humanoid god version of an Eastern, Gaian Rabbit."

Bluumen: "And her appearance is similar to our own. The forest green baggy pants with pink flower patterns down the legs. She has a crop top on with a floral pattern stitched on the edges. Then there's the Annihilo Sect-like long coat she's wearing. Plus her hairstyle is identical to your twin- tail bun-buns."

Neezah: "Yeah but my biggest concern… is her power being equal to ours even though she's just woken up. This is crazy!"

???: "Hardly, but before we start this. Let me take the time to introduce myself. *Bow* Shelly Oriuss(Oh-Ry-iss) at your service. Allow me to run circles around you fools before my escape."

Neezah: "What you say BITCH!?"

Blumen: "Woah, woah woah… calm the fuck down!" *FWIP*

Shelly: "She's right to feel that way, moron. Don't belittle female emotions!" *SWISH*

Blumen: (This bitch a feminist somehow!?) *PRCH* "GRRAHH!!!"

Neezah: "She's fast! *PEW* HUH!?" *THUD*

Neezah was barely able to block her attack in time. She tried to counter with a jab, but could not make contact with Shelly. She dodged and danced around each blow as they were received. Smiling and giggling as Neezah struggles to reach her. Blumen rubs his jaw due to the soreness he felt, and then jolted towards Neezah and Shelly.

"Now you've gotta pay!" Blumen says as he reaches Shelly and attempts to land a roundhouse kick on the back of her head. He had thought he had her while Neezah distracted her but she sped up her movement even more and made their strikes collide. She ducked, slid and flashed out of the way. She goes sliding from the incredible speed burst, which caused a need for her feet to be dug deeply into the ground. She looks up to notice they were moving even slower. Or better to say she was moving even faster.

(This should be fun, so ecstatically fun!) Shelly thought to herself as she sped up even more during her rush towards their person. She became fast enough that Neezah and Blumen began seeing two of her. Each landing a hit on them and sending them flying.

Neezah: "Crrgh!!! What is her DEAL!? Her speed just keeps rising."

Blumen: "Must be an ability of some sort."

Shelly: "Indeed it's my Birthright, Speedster."

Neezah: "That name explains all we need to know."

Blumen: "No kidding."

Shelly: "Mhm hmm." *FWIP*

Blumen: "Annihilation's Flash of Light."

A literal flash of light beams from Blumen's eyes and engulfs Shelly whole. A second later and she comes out just fine, but her speedster essence was extinguished. Giving Neezah the opening she needed to finally counter.

*SMACK* and we transition over to Joshushu being smacked into a nearby dune hill. Ariealis takes his place and immediately tries to slash the slender, tall man in half. He dodges it swiftly and uses his own arm like a whip. Ariealis blocks, but the blow still draws blood on contact. Seeing this she steps back from the sharply dressed skyscraper of a man. He was 7'6 in height and had arms that were nearly as low as his knees. He wore velvet slacks with casual style penny loafers. He wore a long sleeve button down that was white and overalls straps attached to his pants. He also had on a fedora that matched his slacks. And topped it off with a gigantic tan fur coat. The coat had fur stitched all over and rested perfectly upon his shoulders.

Ariealis: "Damn that smarks!"

???: "Mhm. Attract."

Joshushu: "Woah… What!?" *PEERH*

Ariealis: "Hmph! *PEERH* (Turn to darkness when he tries to make contact!)

Joshushu: (Right!)

Ariealie resists what joshushu could not and holds her ground. Joshushu goes flying straight into the slender dummy. He utters the word, Repel and attempts to blow Joshushu into the floor. But he turned into darkness and escaped a severe amount of damage. Ariealis advances soon after and makes contact with the slender man's arms as they were crossed.

"Birthright: Quake!!!" Ariealis yelled as she harshly vibrated and shook the man's physical make up. He could feel the very molecules split from the harsh ruptures he experienced. He uses his ability of Repel to disperse the quake type essence surrounding his body. Ariealis anticipates this and prepares a powerful counter.

Ariealis: "Black Zone!!!"

???: "A zone technique!?"

Ariealis separates reality from around them and enters a timeless zone. It was of negative color where the shadows were white and everything else was some shade of grey or black. Ariealis became a shadow and got a hold of the slender stranger's shadow. She forced open the shadows arms which in turn forced the man that was tethered to the shadow to comply as well. And right as his guard is opened, Ariealis snaps back into the base reality and smacks him with a hard overhead left. He flies back a few feet which allows Ariealis to follow up the attack. But she is stopped by his sudden feeble position as he curled up while standing. Which in turn made her repeat the steps.

"Here we go again." , she said as she reopened her zone and forced open his guard once more. Then… *THWACK* she smacked him in the stomach with a harsh left heel kick. The stranger holds still in a clenched up position afterwards, but returns right back into a guard stance. She repeats her technique once more which, once again… allowed her to grasp his shadow by becoming one herself. It was just that this time… the shadow itself repelled her.

Ariealis: "What in the world!?"

???: "Can't be repeating moves on me. Oh and by the way, the name's Jacky Welsh-McPhinagin. And you guys won't be takin' me in. So if you don't mind, MOVE! It be in ye best interest, ya whelps."

Ariealis: "Ah, get the hell off your high horse! *FWIP* GRRAH!!! *Grip* Huh!?"

Ariealis is interrupted by the sudden hand on her face. She could see quite the overzealous smile on his face as he began to speak.

Jacky: "Physics: Live Simulation!"

Ariealis: "What-"

Her mind went into a black room where white dots began to show up little by little.

Jacky: "Velocity and acceleration of a cosmic roller coaster. Forced adrenaline rush by cause of sudden light year leap in roller coaster fashion. Number of Light Years, 500 Duration of real world time, 5 seconds with a 5 hour mental experience; over lapse. Result, Extreme induced nausea. You're done."

Ariealis' face went pale and she fell to her knees, throwing up chunks at an uncontrollable rate. It takes a few seconds for her to stop it, only to be kicked in the stomach as she rises to her feet. She could tell it was petty revenge from the smile on Jacky's face. The kick was so harsh, that she went flying for miles through the dunes. Causing a literal dust storm with her dragging body.

In the meantime, Amir and Aiyama were having unprecedented amounts of trouble with an abnormal Dummy. It embodied the Might Clan as if she were born there. And if that wasn't bad enough, her range for absorption was also unprecedented. She locked on to someone above Amir and woke with a power scale level of 40.

She was everything a might god could be. 6'6 in height and over two-hundred and thirty pounds in weight. She was fairly toned and buff/thick in stature.

She only wore a white sports bra and showed off her toned torso to all. She had a hanging, diamond encrusted belly button ring on. Her tights had a cosmic pattern and color scheme to them with black combat heels on. She had a fur sash wrapped around her waist that toted a yin and yang theme. Her earrings matched her belly button ring and the blue hue of the diamonds matched and stuck out with her eyes. They were hazel and blue all at once with her long, curly blue hair flowing with the wave of her power. She had caramel colored skin and her lips were luscious and full. She had chains wrapped around her arms as well… wonder what she uses them for.

Aiyama: "L-Lady… AmiR! C-CaN… y-Y-you moOve!!?"

Amir: "N-no. It would s-seEm she has us both… PINNED dOwN!"

Aiyama: "D-DamMit aLL!"

???: "Quit your yammering! *SQUEEZE* Muscle contusion!"

Aiyama: "GAAAAAAHHH!!!"

Amir: "N-NRGH! Aiyama!!! (Damn… I've got to do something here!)"

???: "How pitiful of you both. But don't worry, I won't kill you. I just want to leave and be free… y'know?"

Amir: "Tchss!"

???: "And it was definitely a pleasure to meet you both, my name is Quecsia(Kay-cee-ah) Mathis.

Amir: "N-Nrgh… C-Chi Pact: GREAT CHI BEAST, Come FORTH!!!"

Quescia: "Oh… so that's how it is, huh?"

Amir: "Yeah!"

Quescia: "Heh, fine!"

Quescia and Amir take each other head on while Aiyama sits by and waits for an opening to strike. During these wild and outrageous battles, we still have Kishin and his group barely making it to the outer layer of the Celestials' territory. They ran into the steep zone where they were to find their subject. Better yet to say… their dummy. It was buried beneath a dense field of gravitational polarity. A field as large as our own solar system. At its edge, there could been seen a purple being with a massive amount of essence.

Hideaki: "Kishin… is that!?"

Kishin: "Yeah."

Ebon: "That's the almighty…"

All three: "Celestial KING!!"

Mal: "Well I'll be… seems there's a real good reason for our Youngest sibling not awakening. A being even greater than I."

ZeeArc: "A-ah… (he… got us!?)

ZeeShift: "Y-You bastard!"

Demetrius: (Their signals are becoming weaker and that signal near them has surpassed my own!)

KurTaak: "GrRrAAAHHH!!!" *FWIP*

Demetrius: *step* *STOMP* "Hmph… BRING IT!"

The stage has been set and the dummies have awoken. Their purpose has been stated and their movement begins anew. With the arrival if the Celestial King, one could only guess what troubles await them as Haydes' search for the Keys continues…

Haydes: "Brother…"

Shiishii: "What is it, Haydes?"

Haydes: "You won't believe this… but i can sense ZeeArc and ZeeShift with Demetrius. They're all near Warterror Falls, but that isn't all."

Shiishii: "Anyone else of importance?"

Haydes: *Step* *stand* "Yeah… I can sense the Teller!"
