86.) Graze Matter...

The five dummies that came crashing into our colossaverse. Sent by an unknown force by the name of Xaxel. Their task was to simply collect concepts for this Xaxel being, but there would seem one of them has hus own agendas. Mal McDave is that one dummy's name and he's been around far longer than four siblings. Scouring the omniverse for clues to greater concepts and inflating his collection. His power was equal to that of a council member and one could only presume he let the Annihilo sect gain access to his siblings. They were the kind of gods he needed in order to wake them so that he himself wouldn't have to.

ZeeShift: "N-no way… you planned all this."

Mal: "Of course… I watch anyone with a connection to Shii and his brothers. Those five are to be hindrances and major thorns in my side these next coming years. So I needed to use anyone in any way I could."

ZeeArc: "So Lord Zenki and the others finding these locations was a mere fluke. A lead on trap set by you!?"

Mal: "Yes… And all it took was me surrounding each one of my siblings with a transmuted version of my essence. Now you've awaken the others for me."

ZeeShift: "D-Damn you!"

Mal: "Yes, yes hate me all the more peasants. Anyways… let's go put a stop to your friend and his pet's little scuffle. Your mission here is done my boys."

ZeeArc: "Then… can you get this command off of us so we can get up!?"

Mal: "Yeah… here's a sphere of it you can sit in. Now come along." *Fwip*

ZeeShift: "What a dick!"

The three of them fly over towards Demetrius and KurTaak. They were busy throwing a mass flurry of random strikes at one another, just trying their best to gain the upper hand in the midst of things. They both see a clear opening after more than two-hundred exchanges within mere seconds. Each summons a large amount of Zenchi to their right fist and paw them lunge forward. They collide head on from their perspective, but once the dust cleared. They could see the silhouette of a seven foot man and his cane having been in between their fists. The cane flashes up to their surprise and they're both bopped on the head! *BONK* *BONK*

"You two idiots done?" Mal asked as he withdrew his cane and stared them down. They both looked on in awe at the actual strength of Mal and instinctively knew not to trifle with him. KurTaak himself recognized Mal as an apex class threat and revered hus Presence as such. Bowing his head to him as he regains his composure.

Mal: "Good… good. It would seem you know of the situation and would made a very wuse decision. But I came here today to not only introduce myself as Mal McDave, but to also tell of my other name."

Demetrius: "He has another name you two?"

ZeeArc: "News to us."

ZeeShift: "Guess it must be of importance to us."

Mal: "Oh, but of course it is. You see, not only am I a highly intelligent dummy of Xaxel. Who got you people to awaken my siblings."

Demetrius: "So we were set up…"

Mal: "I am also the legendary Teller who sir Haydes has been looking for and he who knows the location of all the Keys."

Demetrius: "You're… the Teller!?"

ZeeArc: "No… Goddamn way!" *FWIP* *FWIP*

Haydes: "So you're the legendary Teller."

Shiishii: "Seems you were the right little brother. Your ability to remember signals is unmatched."

Mal: "Ah… Two of my favorite gods to watch over. Hello again Haydes… Shiishii."

Shiishii: " What are you doing here Map?"

Mal: "Just spreading the word and doing my job as the Teller. It would seem I habe quite the news for you all."

Haydes: "What's that?"

Everyone went silent to hear what Mal had to say. He simply told of Jollister's organization also being after him for his knowledge of the keys. But he actually spoke of what could result if they had their way.

Mal: "If they were to get their hands on the Keys… you Omniverse is sure to fall without fail. And you'd all be enslaved by forces you wouldn't understand. Which is why Jollister and his passe have been following me to speed up their retrieval of the Keys. As well as pushing their plans further by extension."

Demetrius: "And with this little game of yours… you've given them another head start haven't you!?"

Shiishii: "Mrrhm!!"

Mal: "Yes, yes. But I do intend on doing you all a favor as well. And don't ask me any dumb questions either chaps. I just like having my grand ol' fun. Since you've helped awaken my siblings, I've nothing of importance to handle. But I will say, its best to leave us be as we mean you all no harm. We're just here to study in full and your homes are the best place for that. As proof of this I have already called a meeting with the Colossaverse's leaders."

Haydes: "Mhm… you just really know how to plan ahead don't you?"

Mal: "But of course, its why i was put in charge of the Dummies and allowed to never have my personality sealed. Im here to keep them in check and to do that… I purposely flew into the very first All-Seer. She ran with Death and Life I's crew back in their hayday. She raised me and in turn… I was able to gain an All-Seer birthright. That there is why I'm such a great strategist and Teller. I can see all that transpires and that includes your plans on using one of my siblings for training. You guys figured out you're weaker than that organization huh?"

ZeeArc: "Tch… as frustrating as it is… yes. Thats the reason."

ZeeShift: "Seems we won't be getting that opportunity now though."

Mal: "Who said anything about that? I told you I'd return the favor and I will. But we must first go and stop the others from fighting."

Shiishii: " and I will assist in that, so allow me a few questions later on. I knoe you've spoke with my grandfather before or at least trained with him. I can sense Death essence within you!"

Mal: "That's all dandy and fine with me Shiishii. I can already tell what it is you want."

Haydes: "Yeah, and what I want is to know why you're so willing to help."

Mal: "Because Haydes… I'm bored."

Haydes: "Tch!"

KurTaak: "Wow… what a motive!"

Shiishii & ZeeArc: "Yeah whatever let's go. Uh… *Swish* *SWIP* Uh… Ahahaha!"

Shiishii: *Grip* "Let's go stop these fights."

ZeeArc: "Indeed Shiishii."

Mal: "Most indubitably. (Though if we dont hurry and rush after Graze Matter. He'll be able to take in the Celestial King's stats and embody them. Ans if that happens… I won't be able to control the bastard.) Mrrhm… let's get a move on then ol' chaps."

Haydes: "Alright… Demetrius… Come with us. Omochi and Father can watch after the clan."

Demetrius: "Would be my pleasure Lord Haydes and Shiishii."

Shiishii: "Mhm… with three of us here… Self-Split should be more than efficient enough to get to every spot in one go."

Haydes: "I won't be able to… HellBlazer is elsewhere."

Mal: "Hm hmm!" *Grin*

Haydes: "Mhm! *Glare* (Not a word, you sly bastard!)"

ZeeShift: "That means… we're short one."

KurTaak: "I can AsSist you all In HiS steAd."

Mal: "And now we're covered. Follow me then. *PEW*

Everyone: "Right!"

They all zap away from Warterror falls, following after Mal to go and put a stop to all the fights that were occuring. Mal knew of each location and a specific wormhole that could be entered to get there. The group began to be split up in order to tackle each location without fail. ZeeArc and ZeeShift made their way to NeeZah and Blumen's location with a Mal clone. Then you have Demetrius and his self split, Promothesis along with another Mal clone. They were headed towards Ariealis and Joshushu. Shiishii summoned Diablos and Angelos after such a long time without them and sent them with KurTaak to go and assist Amir and Aiyama. And yes, another Mal clone was with them as well.

Diablos: "Man does it feel good to be out the house!"

Angelos: "Indeed, brother. Let's live it up a bit before we have to go back!"

Diablos: "Hell yeah and with a Warterror no less. Let's go KurTaak!"

KurTaak: "Uh…"

Shiishii: "Just watch them please. They're… super hyperactive man."

KurTaak: "Will do Lord Death. *Bow* Hmph!" *Fwip*

Shiishii: "Ha! *Nudge* *Nudge* See that? He bowed to me."

Haydes: "Shut the hell up. It's only due to you being a damn rep for Death."

Shiishii: "Yeah, yeah… hater."

Haydes: … *Prch* "Shut it!"

Mal: "You guys may fight a lot and to the extreme, but it seems you're brothers through and through."

Haydes: "Mhm." *Glare*

Shiishii: "Hm." *Grin*

Both: "Yeaah! We know!" *Big Smiles*

Mal: "Well let's head over to you brother Kishin and the others. They're definitely going to need our help."

Shiishii: "Alright… Let's go then!" *PEW*

The three of them also head over to their designated location in order to help Kishin and the others. While they traveled there, the others were starting to slowly arrive at their destinations using the wormholes. The first to arrive were ZeeArc and Zeeshift who were also the first to leave. They could feel the colliding essence level's fluctuation for more than fifty astronomical units away. Mal puts out a stream of essence for the others to hop on and they dash for their location.

*BOOM* *CRASH* Neezah and Blumen come flying out of the dust cloud. Landing within trees and masking their presence for a chance to strike. Shelly stands within the crater she made and looks around for the two of them. Laughing and screaming, "Show yourselves!" , so that she may continue her little battle crazed rampage.

Neezah: "I'll use White-Out to disrupt her senses. Then you rush her."

Bluumen: "Using our birthright, huh? Alright, it sounds like a plan."

Neezah: "Good. *swish* Now go!"

Bluumen: "Rightio." *PEW*

Shelly: "Gotcha!... Nrrgh-GRAAAH!!!"

Blumen: "KRAAAH!!!"

Neezah: "White out-"

*Fwish* three silhouettes showed themselves and a cane was held to Shelly's neck. Bluumen was grabbed in midair by a familiar face. *grip* Then Neezah's arm was grasped by yet another familiar presence.

All three: "Cease this at once!"

Shelly: "Lord Mal!?"

Blumen: "Mhm… alright. Now PUT ME DOWN, ZeeArc!"

ZeeArc: "My bad!" *Fwup*

Blumen: "Mhm… and why you stoppin' us!?"

Neezah: *Glare* Yeaaah ZeeShift, explain! *Stare*… Unhand me! *Swish*

ZeeShift: "They aren't the enemy. And their leader will assist us with betting stronger." .

Neezah: "... HuH!?"

Blumen: "Who's their leader?"

ZeeArc: "The guy with the cane over there."

Mal: "Indeed, it is I!"

Shelly: "Indeed… it is hiiim. *Sigh* Oh, dear prono."

Mal: "Ah… don't be like that. Let's go meet our siblings, Shelly!"

Shelly: "Mrrhm! Fine!"

Neezah: "What happened to all that energy?"

Blumen: "Yeaaah, cheer up… CHUM!"

ZeeArc: "You're being childish."

ZeeShift: "Nah, forreal though."

Mal: "Aren't they all!? Eh, anyways… hop on you five." *Fwish*

Another stream is formed and they all hop on. They make their way to the nexg locations using a series of wormholes. Everyone was being stopped left and right during their fights. Mal explains the situation to everyone and tells of the fortune that was to come next. Ariealis and her group join ZeeArc and the others. They begin making their way over to where Angelos and Diablos were sent. The place where a Chi beast bad attempted to rampage but was beaten to a pulp and wrapped in gnarly chains. The almighty Mightopian Dummy, Quescia Mathis was the culprit.

"It was a nice attempt… but nothing more than that!" Quescia said as she walked towards Amir and Aiyama. Who were both still stuck under her biological manipulation.

Amir: "D-Damn she's strong!"

???: "Ain't she though!?" *FWIP* *CRASH*

Aiyama: "Hey you're…"

???: "Di'Angelos at your service!"

*CRASH* *SMASH* KurTaak and Mal step in front of Quescia before she could proceed dealing out damage.

Quescia: "Mal…"

Mal: "Quescia my dear. We must cease this and head over to our last brethren to awaken and stop his awakening at once. The person he is near and their actual nature are a bad combination. They'd go on a rampage and destroy everyone."

Quescia: "Mhm… can I fight her another time?" *point*

Amir: "Hmm?"

Aiyama: "Huh!?"

Di'Angelos: "Well… will you fight her?"

Amir: "Of course!"

Quescia: "Will do then." *SHWIRP*

Aiyama: "Gah! Finally!"

Amir: … "Mhm." *Sigh*

KurTaak: "I hate how fast these are all being settled."

Mal: "Jot it up as badly paced writing." *He glares at the reader*

Quescia: "Yeah, uh… whateverrr! Let's go Mal!"

Mal: "Alright, alright. Hop on!" *SHWIP*

And yet another stream is summoned for another group Mal must carry further down the trail. They send signals to one another to ensure they all make their way to Kishim and the others. There you could see the Celestial King and Hideaki staring at the abyss in which you can see the dummy. It lay down at the bottom of the abyss trapped within the strange field of cosmic happening.

Hideaki: "Lord Xeeron(Zee-ee-rohn), do you think you could pull it out?"

Xeeron: "I do believe I can, but I sense too ominous of a presence coming from it. Every particle of my being is telling me not to Young Lords."

Kishin: "Mhm… that's not a good sign. Someone like you being cautious of a sleeping and dormant being."

Ebon: "Must be truly something then. Uncle Zenki oughta had come with us."

Hideaki: "Yeah…"

???: "Ga~ahhhhh…"

Hideaki: "Hmm!?"

Xeeron: "Oh… seems it might just be coming to us."

Mal: *fwiTING* "Shit! We must hurry!"

Amir: "What's going on?"

Jacky: "Graze is waking up. Mal sir, tell the king to zap away out of his range so only one of the weaker beings can be his example."

Mal: "No need."

Quescia: "Hm?"

Demetrius: "What are we talking about?"

Mal: "My main body is there. He's going to revoke his awakening and make 'em dormant again."

Shelly: "Hmm… Nice."

Xeeron: "Ah… there seems to be no need for alarm."

Kishin: "What do you mean?" *FWIP*

Hideaki: "Who's that?"

Xeeron: "Someone who'll solve our problem."

Ebon: "Hm?"

Mal floats from the pit of the abyss where a polarity is active. A mass collection of dense cosmic essence can stop anything in its tracks. Which is why it's called the pit. Mal had the mold of the dummy before them and presented it as if it were a trophy.

Mal: "Hello Gents. My name is Mal McDave and this is my younger brother, Graze Matter X!"

The final Dummy of the five has been suppressed! And with Mal being the one with the know how on the Keys. Haydes' search just got a whole lot more interesting.
