We live in a cruel world, a world where a single cold can f*ck up everything you planned.

"So... We kill him and that's it?" I said looking at our enemy whose head is buried underground.
"I guesss," Medusa shrugs.
#Teleport#
Like that my currently only living child is here.
"Told you not to intervene in my struggles," I sighed. "Now you're going to have to pay a price neither of us wants to see,"
"Hmm, what do you mean?" Tatsumaki asks confused.
#Sealing Light Spear#
#Soul Chains#
Before Tatsumaki could react 4 Light Spears stabbed through her chest causing her eyes to widen in shock also being the last action she managed to make.
Soul Chains instantly arrived before her thanks to a modified Destructive step, enabling the Soul Chain to wrap around her only a few frames slower than Gold's attack.
"Killsss?" Medusa asks curiously.
"That's a good question," I murmured itching to scratch my head but chose to keep my weapons in hand just in case.
"If she was a Pokemon, we could forcefully separate her from Lazuli it would've brought a lot of pain but..."
"You can always just destroy the soul (Lazuli). Isn't that your specialty?" Gold asks.
"Why did you ask such a dumb question?" I and Sei said. Seeing as Sei understands why I'll leave the explanation to her.
"Tatsu has disobeyed him too many times, Mike doesn't need a disobedient child," Sei said.
"Exactly, don't tell me you've gotten attached to her?" I ask.
For the want-to-be world destroyer getting attached to a lifeform of the world is ironic really.
"You already knew this would occur Necrozma, why pretend to care now?" Sei adds, having some hidden meaning in it.
"Not like it matters, like many that came before you, it's time to choose who's die you're on Gold," I said coldly.
"I'm on your side," Gold said calmly.
"Actions speak louder than words," I said.
"Kill her," Sei adds.
...
Gold's POV
Damn, I have been outsmarted by an Arceus again.
"This isn't the time for internal fighting, we should kill..."
"Looks like she has already made her decision," Sei said, her Reincarnation Plane enshrouds the area, and Stars of Judgement were already gathered around her.
"It's her mother we're asking her to kill you know? Hesitation is expected," Mike scolds Sei. "Regardless, don't delay, I want an answer now,"
...
*sigh*
"You really don't leave me much of a choice, Mike," Gold said.
#Light Speed#
Her body quickly flashes towards Tatsumaki, her sword pointing at the sky.
"Nothing personal mom,"
#Switcheroo#
#Ding#
Her sword swung into her own shield now held by Red.
"Too weak!"
Sword and shield pressed together but the difference in strength was too much for Red. The ground below him sunk and every bone in his body trembled each time Gold swung her sword into the shield.
It was at this time, Tatsumaki looked at Red in disbelief.
"Why?" He was someone she manipulated into loving 'Delia', Red shouldn't even be able to recognize her.
Most importantly she has unintentionally been disobedient consecutively. Her intentions were only to help her father not make him consider her a liability.
'I truly should've been killed back then...' Tatsumaki thought. Her purpose has long since been fulfilled or what was left was the end that finally came.
It took too long though, now she has grown and gained emotions she thought she did never carry.
The desire to see her mother was the first, followed by the family love she got fSabrinarjna and kin love from her children.
"I need you," Short yet precise.
"Red..." tears fell as she could only watch as Red continuously defends against Gold's onslaught.
"Stop playing and kill them already!" Mike shouts. It's unlike Gold to move so slowly.
"Clearly, she too has betrayed you, though I suppose she was never really on your side," Sei explains.
"Tsk," clicking her tongue, Gold's flicker behind Tatsumaki and tries again.
*Ding*
Yet still, it was cut short by that shield.
"Is it just me or are we starting to look like the bad guys here?" Mike asks.
*smack*
"Y'all aresss," Medusa replies.
"As my boss that makes you a bad guy too," Mike explains.
"Nosss, fight peacesss,"
"Fighting for your peace maybe," Mike spat. "Anyways, their fight is getting too close to a protagonist plot armor moment so for safety let's get rid of Giovanni.
#Destructive Step#
Arriving before Giovanni, he was quite surprised at how little energy they had left, far from enough to use an Origin attack at least. He was even more surprised after confirming their fusion hadn't ended.
Shrugging, Mike stoops down and grabs Giovanni's neck to unroot him from the ground.
"Ready to die?"
Observing him more closely Mike noticed a large portion of his body was petrified a clear reminder of who's the protagonist once more.
'Medusa's truly a beast,' carrying a hint of admiration, his sadistic side had begun to get the better of him.
"Unbelievable, I the Ultra Human end up losing to Ouroboros, truly a..."
"Ultra Human? Please, it did be nice if you were," Mike laughs.
"Indeed because I'll now be what you desired to be!" Gold shouted.
#Bond Evolution#
It's unknown how Gold managed to bond with Eternatus in this short time frame, more likely through massages and berries.
#Light Speed Atomic Fusion#
Gold's body broke apart into light spreading apart and slamming back into each other before taking returning to her human form.
"Nah, that's just becoming a demi-human. Well at least you replaced Eternatus so there's that," Mike applauds.
Turning back to Giovanni, Mike looks curiously at his eyes that we're now black.
"I was crushed, are you happy?" he asks emotionlessly.
#CAUTION#
'What are you planning now?' Mike wonders while decisively taking the bait. Who told him to gain this sick sense of humor?
"More than ever?"
"This is the fate of all your enemies?"
#CAUTION#
'Another warning...' seems like if he goes about with his next words it's going to bring about something bad.
'Who's speaking now isn't Giovanni,' that's one thing he's certain of.
It's strange how he hasn't been able to guess who it is yet.
'Meh, what's the worst that could happen,'
"Obviously,"
"Hahaha, good!" The possessor of Giovanni's body laughs. His body turned bright red ready to explode.
*boom*
Before the explosion occurs Mike faintly notices Mewtwo flying out of Giovanni's body.
"Mike!" Followed by a nightmarish roar from Glitch.
Strangely enough, plot armor had now shined on Red. His fist slams into Gold's head leading to a conscious.
