426. Finale ~Earth-777 War Part III~

Wilford pointed his gun at Josuke's face.

Josuke's eyes widen.

*BANG!!!*

Josuke tries catching the bullet, but his fingers miss catching the bullet.

*TING!!!*

Mark catches the bullet with his hand.

"Amazing!" He twitched his jaw left and right. "Wilford Warfstache! And you are...?"

"I'm Invincible..." said Mark.

"Hoho! So am I! Or so I think... I can't get shot for some reason. One time, I was in this Walmart, and there was this space person with a blaster-..."

Mark punches Wilford in the face.

"That's rude!" Wilford kicks Mark down to the ground.

Meanwhile...

Freddy beats Springtrap over and over again.

"I'm glad I defected, Afton. If I hadn't, I would've destroyed Gregory..."

"Yeah... Sure..." said Springtrap. "Another child dead. So tragic..."

"Look, Superstar... What's your plan, anyway?"

"My revolution, of course...Soon...After the tournament...I will create the perfect world..." said Springtrap, until he is captured by Laserheart with an Arc Reactor.

"Tournament...?" asked Freddy, staring at Springtrap's Iron Man suit flying away.

Meanwhile...

Warfstache kicks Josuke down to the ground. "Sorry! I thought you wanted a high-five... With feet! Ah, well... Sorry that it went down your face...My goodness, I have an itchy trigger finger right now!"

Josuke grabs his head. "Whoa... That's a headache..."

*BANG!!!*

"AH!!!" Josuke dodges the bullet.

*BANG!!! BANG!!!*

Josuke's hair flickers in white.

*BANG!!! BANG!!!*

Josuke runs around with hair that is flickering white. "Whoa... My head hurts, right now..."

"STAY THERE!!!" growled Warfstache.

"MARK!!! WHY AREN'T YOU ATTACKING HIM!?" asked Josuke.

"I AM!!!" yelled Mark, punching Warfstache over and over again.

However, Mark's eyes widen as he realizes that he's punching...

Josuke...?

"What...!?" asked Mark.

*BANG!!!*

"FUCK!!!" yelled Mark, getting shot in the back of the head.

The bullets bounce off his head.

Mark grabs Warfstache's gun and breaks it...

But...

It didn't break.

In fact, Mark crushed Josuke's hand.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" growled Josuke, as he drops to the ground.

"Wait... W-Wait...!" yelled Mark, having his PTSD triggered. Flashes of the fight with Omni-Man flickered in his head. He remembered everyone's screams of terror.

"Oh... Do you have that fear, too? Losing people that you care about... And because of what you experienced, you start pushing people away and you heartbreakingly reject the people who wish to love YOU!???*GASP!!!*"

*BANG!!!*

Miguel whispers. "S-... Stop..."

Josuke is shot in the right chest as he drops to the ground.

Mark is too afraid to make a move against this guy.

*BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!*

"Stop it..." whispered Mark.

*BANG!!! BANG!!!*

"STOP!!!"

"Stop what...?"

Mark is shooting a Droid.

Josuke is across the room, still having his hand broken.

"What the fuck are you!?" asked Mark.

"What are you talking about!? I'm just shooting that robot! Or... Should I have shot Vader...?"

Darth Vader stayed on the ground, dead.

"Or Mark?" asked Wilford, as Markiplier (a variant of Mark) appeared dead and shot on the ground.

"Or Damien?" asked Wilford, as Damien (a variant of Mark) appeared dead and shot on the ground.

"Or Dark?" asked Wilford, as Darkiplier (another strange variant of Mark) appeared dead and shot on the ground.

"Or YOU...!?" asked Wilford, as Mark sees himself appear dead and shot on the ground.

"Or me..." said Wilford, as Mark sees Wilford appear dead and shot on the ground.

"Or YOU...!?" asked Wilford, as Mark sees himself appear dead and shot on the ground.

"Or me..." said Wilford, as Mark sees Wilford appear dead and shot on the ground.

"Or me..." asked Wilford, as Mark sees himself appear dead and shot on the ground.

"Or me..." said Wilford, as Mark sees Wilford appear dead and shot on the ground.

"O̶̹͒r̸̙̓ ̷͓͒m̷̧͐ě̵̳..." said Wilford, as Mark sees Wilford appear dead and shot on the ground.

"What...!?" asked Wilford... 

I mean Mark...? Markiplier...? NO!!! Mark! 

Right... 

What...?

"WHAT!?" asked Mark, backing away.

A bug appears on Mark's right chest.

"Hold still."

*BANG!!!*

*SPLAT!!!*

Mark, confused, sees that he's been shot. "Th-... That's not..."

Mark drops to the ground.

"Possible...!? Of course, it isn't! But it happened, didn't it! Oh, SURE!!! WHAT!? You're going to blame me for KILLING YOU!!! The AUDACITY!!!"

Mark tries to crawl away, but can't, feeling the sharp pain in his lung.

He spits blood continuously.

Wilford sighs. "Don't you try crawling away..."He faces the camera and sings. "You can't just crawl away. Why? Because it's the only way! I could interview you for the show! So the audience could come to know-...YOU!!!"

Mark is on a chair, bleeding horribly while in front of Wilford Warfstache.

"Hi!" smiled Wilford, holding a mic. "What's your name?"

Wilford places the mic near Mark's mouth, as he spits blood on it.

"Could you speak up please...?" asked Wilford with the mic, as he places it inside of Mark's mouth.

Mark spits more blood, beginning to cry.

"Dang!" yelled Warfstache, as he looks back at the camera. "What a downer, am I right, or am I... LEFT!!! AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Strange canned laughter could be heard.

"That was a terrible joke.What do you say about this situation... And do you think I could get Slenderman back on the show?"

Warfstache places the mic near Miguel's trembling lips.

"You're... going... to die... You sick son of a-..."

"WHOA!!! Keep your toilet of a mouth clean, sir! What about you...?"

Josuke continuously screams as his hand is still crushed while Warfstache places the mic near his mouth.

"This was terrible. Time to kill all of you."

*click, click!*

*BANG, BANG, BANG!!!*

Suddenly, all three bullets have been blocked by the Iron Spider suit.

"What the-!?" asked Warfstache, as Peter and Tony stood in front of Warfstache.

Peter grabs his head, having a headache.

Josuke also has a headache at the same time.

"Oh! You guys have DANGER SENSE!!! You Maharlicans are so amazing! When people with Spider-Sense or Danger Sense or Probability Sense or Radar Sense or even Etcetera Sense is around me...THEY HAHAHAVE HEADACHES FOR SOME REASON!!!"

Tony points the repulsor cannon at Warfstache's head.

"I thought you were against killing..." said Bruce, entering the room.

"Mr. Stark..." said Peter. "Mr. Stark, I don't feel so good-..."

Peter topples to the ground as Bruce catches Peter, similarly to how the original Tony caught Peter in the Infinity War. Peter desperately tries to hold on, hugging Bruce.

This Tony did not catch Peter.

Josuke vomits and has a nosebleed, trembling on the ground.

"What the hell are you...?" asked Bruce to Warfstache.

"That's the weapon they were talking about. Wilford Warfstache."

"Howdy do?" smiled Wilford.

"We have to get them out of here... This guy is killing all of them," said Bruce.

"And let this guy go...?" asked Tony, cruelly staring at Wilford.

"You'd rather get these people and Peter killed?"

Tony doesn't respond.

"Stark..." said Bruce. Bruce clenches his jaw. "STARK!!!"

Tony smirks. "You're right... You do it. I'll go fight this guy because I seem to the be the MVP around here..." He activates his armor

Bruce scoffs. "Uh-huh..."

Tony blasts his repulsor cannons at Wilford as he easily walked toward Tony.

"What the hell...?" asked Tony.

Wilford grabs Tony's head and throws him to the wall, knocking him out.

Wilford turns to Bruce and smiles creepily.

Bruce's eyes widen.

Meanwhile...

The Jazz Fusion lands on the ship.

"C'mon!" yelled Gumball. "Nemesis said that they're in danger!"

"Your imaginary girlfriend said that they're in danger?" asked Patrick. "Sounds like trouble."

"Patrick! Would you shut up!?" asked Finn. "Shush!"

Finn sees Rasputin walking around and trying to wait for his ride. "He's just... standing there..." said Finn. He sees that he stood at the docks, waiting for a ride. "Guys... I have a plan..."

Rasputin starts picking his teeth with a toothpick while playing Tetris.

"YAH!!!"

Suddenly, the whole group is frozen in time by Rasputin.

"Seriously...?" asked Rasputin. "Did you seriously think that I didn't know you were here...?"

"Yeah... That was a stupid plan, Finn," said Gumball.

"Wait... one of you is missing..." Rasputin squints his eyes. "Where's the Talking Cheese?"

*VRUNG!!!*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!"

Rasputin lets go of the Jazz Fusion as Spongebob slices his foot off with his lightspatula.

"You... fuckin'..." said Rasputin. "Sentient Coral Bumpkin."

Rasputin creates a makeshift foot made of energy as he creates an energy shockwave as they all topple backward.

*SHING!!! SHING!!! SHING!!!*

Gumball tosses coins and Heartarangs at Rasputin.

Darwin transforms into a wolf and bites Rasputin's other foot, causing him to throw him away as he proceeds to try and slice him with a Tao Mandala, top to bottom.

Suddenly, Jake pushes him away, but his arm gets cut off.

"YOW!!!" yelled Jake.

Finn uses Come Along With Me to punch Rasputin in the face, but Rasputin grabs the Stand's legs and snaps them in half by stomping on his knees. "YEEEEEEEOOOOOOOW!!!"

Rasputin throws Finn away like a ragdoll.

However, time-reversed as Finn shoots Rasputin in the face with the repulsor cannon on his robot hand, blinding Rasputin in reverse.

Meanwhile...

"Finn Mertens of Earth-AT-1278 had betrayed the contract..." said a robot sphere.

"Send in Selena..." said the TVA leader.

Meanwhile...

Finn kicks Rasputin over and over again.

"You weren't supposed to time travel," said Rasputin.

"And you're not supposed to invade innocent countries," said Finn. "FINN PUNCH!!!"

Finn punches Rasputin (but he catches it).

Rasputin then headbutts Finn over and over again.

Jake grabs Rasputin and bodyslams him to the floor, as Rasputin chokes him with an Eldritch Whip.

Darwin then bites Rasputin's neck and summons Gentleman to shoot at Rasputin. But Rasputin then summons an Eldritch Demon Wolf to fight off Darwin.

Suddenly, Spongebob slices Rasputin's neck. 

"FUCK!!!" yelled Rasputin, as he squashes Spongebob.

"HOL' UP, MOTHERFUCKER!!!" Patrick, enlarged, headbutts Rasputin and uses GGR to beat him up.

"GUBI GUBA GUBI GUBA-!!!"

Annoyed, Rasputin grabs Patrick's jaw and opens it forcefully, ripping the skin off and dislocating his jaw as Rasputin proceeds to kick him away.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKIN' RUSSIAN BARNACLEHEAD!!!" Spongebob slices off Rasputin's ear by jumping up from a stair of bubbles.

"FUCK!!!" growled Rasputin as he released a shockwave that cut all of them in half, but Finn rewound time and punches Rasputin in the face. "ENOUGH!!!" Rasputin begins crushing all of them with Eldritch tentacles.

Darwin then kicks him in the crotch.

"FUCK!!!"

Finn immediately puts an Arc Reactor on his chest and traps him inside.

"MMPH!!!" shrieked Rasputin. The armor begins heating up.

"Oh, dear..." said Finn.

Spongebob has an idea. "Killer Queen!"

"What...? You don't use Killer-..."

*BOOM!!!*

Rasputin's hands are blown off by Spongebob's bomb bubbles.

"FUCK!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!" shrieked Rasputin, kneeling on the ground as he dropped the Jazz Fusioneers.

"Well, well..." said Bruce, standing in front of Rasputin.

"Impossible..." said Rasputin, seeing Bruce, Josuke, Mark, and Miguel standing before him. "HOW!?"

"I had an interview," said Bruce. "I had a deal with him that if I lie, I die."

Earlier...

"Wow! I can't believe you're Batman! THE Batman!" smiled Wilford. "Let's start with who you are!Remember! If you lie, YOU DIE!!!"

Wilford places the mic at Bruce's mouth.

Bruce pauses. "I'm Batman."

Wilford smiles. "I like that answer. And it's also technically true... But what's your REAL name?"

"I'm Batman."

Wilford smiles. "I like you. Wow... I can sense that you're not lying. Holy moly... I like you..."

Now...

"It was just like an interview with Lois," said Bruce.

"Peter got too sick," said Josuke. "We had to bring him to the hospital with one of Tony's suits."

Bruce presses something on his watch as Rick's hand points at Rasputin.

"Well...?" snickered Rasputin. "Are you happy, Miguel...? Are you FINALLY happy...?"

Miguel frowns.

"You think you're a hero?" laughed Rasputin. "You know that the only way you could trap me forever is by killing me..."

Rasputin's hair flickers white.

"EVERYONE GET DOWN!!!"

Rasputin destroys the armor as he enters Ultra Judgment.

Josuke transforms into Ultra Judgment almost immediately. "Mark! LET'S GO!!!"

The pair attacks Rasputin, but they are tossed aside by Eldritch Tentacles like they're nothing.

Both are knocked out.

"Well...?" sneered Rasputin. "WELL..!? WEEEELL!!!I SHALL TRANSFER MY ENERGY TO THE DEATH STAR..." he howled, as his energy flowed all the way back to the transmitter.

"You'll kill yourself, too!?" asked Miguel.

"A great sacrifice... for the glory of my people..." said Rasputin.

Miguel is horrified by his thoughts. Because... he's about to cause another problem... Break the promise of Bill Cipher and make his event closer to time...

"Warning. Possible Dark Timeline imminent."

Or maybe... there's another way. 

Miguel's eyes widen.

And now...

Miguel begins to cry.

He's just scared of what he's about to do. Because for the first time... He's doing this because he's thinking about other people rather than feeling sorry for himself... And be the hero he always wanted to be...

Miguel wipes his tears because now, it's time to stop crying over things in the past.

Now... it's time that he fully accepts his duties.

Miguel smiles. "I can't stop you...Unless you're stuck somewhere... Like... in a room.Prismo?"

Prismo spoke to Miguel. "Yeah?"

"I want you to bond Rasputin into the new Hyperbolic Time Room and keep him in there forever," said Miguel.

"Miguel..." said Prismo. "If you do that... You wouldn't be able to respawn anymore."

"Miguel..." whispered Josuke, trying to stand, but cannot as his bones are mostly broken by the impact. "Don't do this... If you die... It'd all be over... You'll only have one life..."

"We only ever have one life..." said Miguel. "But I'll be alright..."

"Miguel..." said Josuke. "These people can't lose their Messiah..."

"Yeah..." said Miguel. "But I care more about these people than their Messiah." Miguel smiles. "Dude, I won't die... I'd just... have to be more careful from now on. So they could keep believing.Tony told me about a tournament he's planning if we win... So that the people's morale could keep high.Gabrielle approved of it because she finds it interesting and it could help the Hellsing Organization."

"I'm proud of you, Miguel," smiled Josuke. "You... finally grew up."

"Isn't that just life?" smiled Miguel. "About growing up...?"

"Yeah... I guess..." smiled Josuke.

"Prismo... I'm moving out... Bring my stuff to my home, will ya...? I'll pay you, later..." 

"I'm gonna miss ya, roomie... 3,000 years, huh...?" his voice broke.

"Yeah... I promise I'll visit, man..." his voice broke.

"No... I'll visit you...Jk.I physically can't."

Both laugh.

"Oh, you!" smiled Miguel.

"Miguel, your entire race is about to die," said Josuke. "Including us."

"Right..." Miguel closes his eyes and sighs. "Do it. And Prismo... Remove ALL doors."

Rasputin's eyes widen. "Wait... What the fuck is happening to me...!? I feel... chained...!"

Miguel sighs, he takes out his stick, and he stabs Rasputin's chest. "ORA!!!"

*SPLAT!!!*

Right after...

*GASP!!!*

Rasputin looks around a barren room.

Pickles and water is teleported into the room from rainbow energies from the roof.

Rasputin looks around. It's just a yellow empty room. "Where am I...?"

"You're stuck in a room boy," said Prismo, from outside. "See ya never!"

"What...? Hey! HEY!!! HEY!!! LET ME OUT OF HERE!!! LET ME THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!! HEY!!!" he growled. "HEY!!! NO!!! GET ME-!!!"

Like the table from the first time we met him, he hammers the wall's surface, psychotically. His hammering gets louder and louder.

Rasputin smirks and begins laughing and laughing while striking the wall. "This isn't any different..."

Rasputin stares at the wall.

"This isn't any different at all..."

Now...

"Huh..." smiled Miguel. "It's over! Cool..."

The crowd cheers from below.

"Hello!" smiled Tony. "Thank you! Thank you!"

The Jazz Fusion lands next to Tony.

"But don't thank me! Thank these guys, too! I just thought of the plan, taught them how to execute it, and built the most important weapon on the planet!"

The people cheers for the group,

Miguel sighs with relief.

"Now what?" asked Josuke.

"I'm not exactly quitting... But... I guess I'll take a vacation for now," he said. "I'll... enjoy life with my family and continue ruling this place..."

"IBARRA!!! IBARRA!!! IBARRA!!!" cheered the group. "IBARRA-!!!"

Meanwhile...

Wilford, in a glass cage, tries to drink his coconut juice in a coconut.

*knock, knock...*

Wilford looks at his left and right.

*knock, knock...*

Wilford sees The Joker outside his cage.

"Hello... Based on what I've heard... You sound very, very useful..." sneered The Joker. "Can you hold up to our expectations?"

"Sure!" smiled Wilford. "But before we strike a deal or whatever, I'd like to go to Hawaii!"

Later...

Miguel places his watch in the drawer.

"The party's going!" smiled Anne. "You comin'?"

"Yeah..." Miguel closes the drawer and locks it. Miguel prepares his Barong Tagalog. "Let's go, Daddy-O."

"You're so weird," giggled Anne.

“Warning! Dark Timeline is imminent! Dark Timeline is imminent! Destruction of Reality... is Imminent...”

But... Miguel didn't go Super Saiyan White or whatever...

Yes. But someone else did something...

Oh, right...Finn.

Meanwhile...

Peter wakes up on the hospital bed to see Bruce playing with his phone on the chair.

Peter looks away.

"We had to bring you back here..."

"Yeah... Thanks..."

"I bought you some Legos for you to play with... MJ and Mayday will be here, soon."

"Tony was here."

"Yeah... I'm aware."

"He... made me realize that you're the reason why I killed that guy."

"He's not the real Tony, Peter. He's a variant."

"And what? You're supposed to be the 'real Tony'?"

Bruce sighs. "I know. I'm sorry."

"I just wanted to say... That I want to kindly resign... from this... apprenticeship..." said Peter. 

"O-Oh..." Bruce's eyes widen and quiver, getting a bit glossy.

"Yeah... I uh... I've decided to sign up for Stark Industries of Earth-838 again... as Tony's personal assistant."

Bruce looks down, with lips trembling and fists tightening. "I see."

"Yeah... I'm apparently starting by celebrating New Israel's win against the Empire... By helping him sponsor a Battle Royale Tournament between Superheroes and Fighters that Miguel's hosting. He decided that I should join the fight, too. He said he'd... sponsor the Avengers in the event."

*BANG BANG!!!*

"Well..." Peter looks down, with frustration. "Duty calls. Go on and beat the shit out of people and disable them like usual."

Bruce stands up and leaves.

Peter is teary-eyed, and so is Bruce.

Later...

The mugger runs away, but suddenly, Bruce grabs his gun and breaks it.

The man backs away. "Who the hell-?"

Bruce grabs the man's arm, breaks it, and proceeds to brutally beat him over and over.

*CRACK!!! CRACK, CRACK, CRACK!!! CRACK!!!*

"I'm Vengeance. Don't 'none of you fucking forget that. NONE OF YOU FUCKING!!!"

*CRACK!!!*

"FORGET THAT!!!"

*CRACK, CRACK!!!*

Bruce cuffs the man to the bars and walks away.

Bruce then begins punching the wall over and over until the concrete begins to break.

"RAUGH!!! RAUGH!!! RAUGH!!! RAUGH-!!!"

Meanwhile... Tony watched Bruce from a security camera...

"Well... Do you think that this plan of mine would work...?"

A variant of Spider-Man with a red upper body (shoulders and chest above), a black lower body, and red Spider legs on his back. "Yep... It always is, Stark..."

"Yeah! Exactly! I am an absolute fucking genius, man! These people just can't see me coming! I attack here! I attack there! And they just can't keep up, Doc!I'm Superior to all this fucking idiots..."

"Uh-huh..."

Tony smiles. "And so are you...Octavius..."

"First you switch two people's bodies and you kill the inefficient one... You truly are superior to all, Stark...A man who has everything... But has nothing..."

"What...!? How can I have everything but have nothing! You're just not making any sense, Ock! Now... Send out fliers for the tournament..." Tony sits back and relaxes. "I'm gonna keep watching this Wayne guy... Also... Get me, Widow. I want sex.Y'know what? Never mind, actually.Just go and get me a coffee."

"Uh-huh..." said "Peter."

"Nah... I want a latte...And... Jarvis?"

Jarvis activates. "Yes, sir..." he said in an evil voice.

"Get me all the files on... Bruce Wayne... Could you...?"

"Yes, sir..."

"Thank you... I wanna see if... I could take this guy.Or...Could this guy take me...?I mean... The glider idea? What a shit idea! Seriously!? Ugh... What if you get caught into a propeller or some shit or hit your face in a fucking bridge!?"

To be Continued...In the Tournament of Maharlica Arc.
