Swiper Strikes Again

POV Rio

It has been a few weeks since the Jigglypuff incident, and I still have not captured it. It seemed to have some sort of Kool-Aid Man powers as whenever I would find Jigglypuff it would vanish and wouldn't appear again until later. On the bright side, I have seen several people with doodles on their faces. Spider-Man, J Jonah, Nick Fury, Hawkeye, Pierce, and Natasha to name a few. I took photos for future use. J Jonah has now gone on a crusade against Jigglypuff.

'Daily Bugle: Pink Menace Strikes Again!'

Rio: "Hahaha, ah I almost tempted to leave Jigglypuff free to cause some more chaos."

???: "Chaos is a wonderful, wonderful thing!"

Rio: "Wat? Who said that?"

???: "No one."

Rio: "Oh okay... Hey, wait a minute. If there isn't anyone there why did you just respond."

I look around me and find nothing and neither can I sense anything.

'I'm losing my marbles.'

I shake my head to ignore whatever just happened. Now it was time to fulfill some wishes. First was going to Sendak to use the Puzzle.

Sendak: "Ah you are here. Yami is ready."

Rio: "Excellent bring him out please."

Yami: "What wish do want granted?"

Rio: "I want all unprocessed raw materials on Earth according to this list to be removed from Earth and placed in my inventory. When they are removed I want the areas to be replaced with soil or sediments that match the surrounding area. This should not affect the Earth's Core. Can you do so?"

Yami: "Hmm, no."

I sigh but stop when he raises his hand.

Yami: "Let me finish. I can't do so with the power at my disposal. While the Millennium Puzzle can grant a wish it cannot do so if the wish is too far-reaching. Unless I were to supplement the power with another wish-granting artifact. For instance, the ring you are wearing."

Rio: "How much of the ring power do you require?"

Yami looks deep in thought as he tries to estimate the exact power needed.

Yami: "Around half of its powers. At worst 75%. But that is unlikely."

Rio: "That is acceptable. Now is there anything else you need to grant the wish?"

Yami: "For the best results we should be on Earth when we do it."

Rio: "Okay let me disguise myself."

I transform into Sephiroth again as I know a certain witch is still looking for him. Then I take the Puzzle and tell Sendak I will be borrowing it for a little bit. Then we teleport to an old Hydra facility in France. Being this close to the Mages is a bit risky but it also means they have less time to react. I summon Yami again and he starts granting the wish. The massive power surge that comes from the spell is fascinating and I make sure to record this phenomenon for later study. I also use this chance to study the limits of the Ring. What I learned is that its power is not all that impressive. It ended up taking 2 full charges to give Yami the needed power to complete the wish. And Yami was already nearly strong enough to grant the wish as is.

'I guess I shouldn't be too surprised it is only a Super Tier Spell. So what should I use the remaining wish for? It can affect no more than 20 people and the effect grows stronger the fewer it affects. Oh! That's an idea. Gene Lock for my children. It is definitely within the power of the Ring. And as long as it only affects Lucario and Chrysalis, they can control it at will. It's perfect.'

As I am thinking about the ring a parallel mind is still studying the wish casting. Another is watching our surroundings for enemies. A third is maintaining a few spells. Once the wish is done Yami starts to fade.

Yami: "That took a lot out of me I will need to rest. But your wish has been granted."

Rio: "Thanks."

Yami fades and I quickly leave the area as I sense several mages coming here. Both Kamar Taj and Dark Mages. I didn't want to be around when they arrived. I went to Sanctuary to see what happened after I left. It seemed like the Dark Mages and Sorcerers arrived almost at the same time and assumed the other party was responsible so they fought. Heavy causalities on both sides. But it seems that neither thought to clean up the bodies as later Rasputin arrived and raised them as undead mages.

'Well looks like Kamar Taj just lost in that battle. Now I need to send the message to the Wood Clones. Okay, now let's go to Namek.'

I teleport to Namek to take the Dragon Balls to an uninhabited world where we could use them to grant an important wish.

Nail: "Ah Lord Rio, you arrived right on time I have all the Dragon Balls."

Rio: "Perfect please give them to me. I would take you with but the less that can be traced back to Namek the better."

Nail: "I understand."

I take the Dragon Balls and go to a random planet in a far-off Galaxy. Once I arrive I set the Dragon Balls up and start the summoning.

Rio: "Takkaraputo popurunga pupirittoparo!"

Clouds appear out of nowhere and a beam of light erupts from the Dragon Balls. Once it stops what stands there is Porunga.

Porunga: "I have been summoned now state your wish and I shall grant it."

Rio: "I wish for all the Vibranium in the Universe to be placed in my Inventory."

Porungas eyes glow then he speaks again.

Porunga: "Your wish has been granted. I have completed my task. Collect the Dragon Balls again should you want another wish granted."

Porunga disappears and the Dragon Balls try to fly away but I quickly place them in my inventory so I don't have to track them down. Then I quickly leave before someone comes to investigate this planet. I enter the Astral Realm and watch to see if anyone has come to investigate. After waiting for several hours nothing came nor did I sense anyone. I was a bit surprised but then again I did go to nearly the edge of the Universe.

'Whatever, let's see how Earth is doing.'

POV Wood Clone Saturn

Once I sensed the signal from the main body I started Operation Swiper Swiper. We were set up in an old Hydra base in Spain. I was in command of 1500 Crystal Clones. Crystal Clones were chosen as they wouldn't send memories back to the original. Wood Clones wouldn't leave much behind but better safe than sorry. Our goal was simple, steal the remaining stockpiles of material from the World. With a focus on Oil and other sources of fuel. Once the main targets were taken we would then focus on all the remaining materials that were dug up in the last several months since Music Meister took them all.

Saturn: "The operation is a go!"

Over a thousand Gates Opened and closed in rapid succession. I timed us to make sure we stopped before the mages could respond. Neither group would come immediately so we had that going for us but I wasn't going to take any chances. That was why Mars and Jupiter were on guard duty. They would warn us if we had incoming.

32 Minutes Later...

Mars: "We have incoming."

Saturn: "Who and how many?"

Mars: "Hydra and 120."

Saturn: "Stall them. We need another 15 to 18 minutes before we will be done."

Mars: "Copy that."

I start helping to allow us to finish faster. 10 Minutes Later I got another message.

Jupiter: "We have incoming. Dark Mages but only 8."

Saturn: "Lead them to fight Hydra."

Mars: "Hydra has sent reinforcements. 180 more soldiers."

Saturn: "Tch. Stupid pests. Very well. Jupiter is sending some Dark Mages your way let the 2 groups fight each other."

Mars: "Ugh, really. I am barely holding out here. How am I supposed to get the 2 groups to fight?"

Saturn: "Improvise."

Mars: "Fine but you are doing watch duty next time."

I smile at his acting. Even though we are just Wood Clones we take our roles very seriously.

'I wonder if we will get an Acting Skill soon? That would be nice but never mind. That's the main body's problem. Back to work.'

I look over and see only 137 Clones remain. I check the time and see that we have 2 more minutes before we need to leave this base. I check our progress and see we should finish in the next minute or less. I started activating the Nuke that we are using to eradicate this base. The base was already falling apart but we needed to keep up appearances. Once I was done setting the countdown all but 3 Clones had dispelled. They confirmed they got everything that they could and then they dispelled. We missed a few things here and there but we did the best we could.

Saturn: "Exfiltrate now. Rendezvous in 30 seconds or I am leaving without you."

Mars: "Copy that on my way now."

Jupiter: "Copy I am already at the Rendezvous point."

I arrive and start up the Stealth Quinjet. I hear Mars getting on board and gunfire.

Mars: "Get us up in the air now. Hydra is calling in Air Support."

Jupiter: "How? They have almost no fuel?"

Mars: "The Tesseract."

I activate Stealth Mode and vanish from the enemy's sights. They try to find us but our Stealth Tech is vastly superior.

Mars: "So how did it go?"

Saturn: "We got all the high-priority targets but missed a few low-priority targets."

Mars: "Darn, even with us ignoring Russia and North Korea?"

Saturn: "Yeah, but from what I saw we only missed a few things in Germany and Denmark. What about you 2?"

Mars: "I killed 75 Hydra Soldiers."

Jupiter: "Hydra killed 5 Mages but they took the bodies and retreated. Hydra lost around 160 or so members to the mages."

Saturn: "Where did they come from?"

Mars: "Hydra came from the Helicarrier. It sped over here once it detected the disturbance. It was just bad luck that they arrived so quickly."

Saturn: "The mages came from a teleportation spell. It looked like it originated from Brittany. If I had to guess they were a reserve force sent to investigate after they received news from Southern France."

Saturn: "I will write the report. And we're in the clear we can stop pretending."

Mars: "Ahh, I was kind of in the zone. Man acting is so much fun. Oh! We should sign Chrysalis up for theater. That would be so cute!"

Saturn: "Okay, we are all in agreement we send that request to the main body."

We all get very serious and nod. Then we sense the Nuke going off.

Saturn: "Well that should get rid of any evidence."

Jupiter: "Mission Complete!"

(AN: Play MISSION COMPLETE (Star Fox Animated) ‪@TerminalMontage‬ on YouTube )

All 3: "COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON COME ON!"

Rio: "SHUT UP!"

We all give him the stink eye. Then we dispel.

Rio: "I swear I am such a handful sometimes."

Authors Note:

It seems like Earth forgot to say Swiper No Swiping 3 times as now all their base are belong to us. What do you think about the wishes Rio had granted? The next chapter will be the world reactions and crisis results. Gacha after that. Until Next Time Ciao.
