Here's a new chapter for you guys.

Don't own the art.

They belong to their respective creators.

Enjoy!

*Pat* *Pat*

"A little excessive, don't you think?"

(M/N) boredly rubbed his face, where a bright red hand mark could be seen on it.

"Hah...hah."

Talulah breathed heavily as her red was very red at being called cute.

'The audacity of this man!'

She thought to herself, as she unknowingly began falling back into her possessed state.

Rhodes Island and Reunion just stared in pure shock at what had just happened.

After the Doctor had called her cute, Talulah had literally walked up to him and slapped him so hard it could be called the Slap of XXXX.

(Just like the Slap of '22)

Before quickly returning back to Reunion side.

'...That parasite has regain control over her.'

Lobo growled.

Not at all amused that the foreign soul was cheating death.

In a way that aggravated him even more than the nine lives of cats.

"...Reunion."

(M/N) calmly stared at them.

"Why wager a pointless and meaningless war?"

!!!

"Pointless!?"

A Reunion caster shouted in rage and disbelief.

"Meaningless...?"

While several others seemed to be hit harder by those few words.

"Do you really think that by declaring war against the world, that you will really achieve that which you desire?"

(M/N) gave them an unmoving glare.

"Why throw away your lives so recklessly when you can try to better it?"

"That's what we're doing!"

A Reunion soldier shouted out, enraged at the bastard unsympathetic words.

"We ARE bettering our lives by fighting those in power!"

"How pitiful and pathetic."

(M/N) sighed.

!!!

"You call yourselves revolutionaries yet look at the destruction and deaths you have caused."

He extended his arms with the destroyed city behind him.

"You call this salvation? The way to being seen as equals?"

(M/N) rhetorically asked.

"How...sad." (M/N) sighed, shaking his head. "I pity you fools, for all you are doing is making bigger targets of yourselves."

While Reunion stewed at his words, Rhodes Island stared in shock.

If there was any doubt he was different, they were all gone.

"Doctor...just is going on?"

Ace frowned.

"This..." Scout tilted his head. "Feels like back then."

"Before Babel forced him to become something he is not."

!!!

"That's..." Ace eyes widened behind his sunglasses. "I see...he lost his memories. But in return, gained back the humanity he was forced to discard for the sake of victory."

"Doktah..."

Amiya gazed confusedly at the man.

"He's certainly a character."

Ines mused.

"..."

The other Operators just stared in stunned silence.

He was nothing like they were told!

"Mercenary!"

Talulah suddenly called out.

???

Ines just stared at her.

"Mind telling me why you have renegaded on our contract?"

The Leader of Reunion calmly asked.

"...I would have htougth that brat would tell you." Ines coldly replied. "But being stabbed quite literally in the back does not exactly give me warm feelings towards you."

!!!

Reunion started at that.

One of their own tried to kill her?

"I see." Talulah stoic expression showed nothing. "And for that, you choose to side with Rhodes Island?"

"Call it repaying a favor." Ines coolly responded. "(M/N) saved me, so I'm accompanying him until we get out of here."

"Interesting..." Talulah said. "And you think..."

*FLARE*

The air grew hot and sweltering.

"That any of you will leave?"

!!!

"SUCH POWER!!"

Nearl shouted in shock.

"...Amiya!" Ace suddenly shouted. "Take the Doctor and get out of here!"

"What!?" Amiya shouted in shock. "But I can't! If I do, you'll-!!"

"Amiya!" Ace argued. "We can't possibly win this fight!"

"You can feel it can't you!? The sheer power this monster is radiating is insane! The Doctor safety is paramount!"

"Don't be crazy, Ace!"

Nearl shouted.

"You're asking us to leave you here to die!"

"You're not thinking straight!"

As they argued, Talulah began slowly powering her attack.

"I am being rational." Ace calmly argued. "But she is too powerful for any of us to handle!"

*TWITCH!!*

(M/N)...was very insulted by that.

Even if they didn't know the full extent of his power, he should at least have some confidence that he has some tricks up his sleeves.

"Easy, (M/N)."

Mata Nui tried to cool the Toa rising temper.

"They don't know any better."

'Doesn't mean that my pride won't stand for that!'

(M/N) growled.

As the team continued arguing.

!!!

Only to feel the extent of Talulah power.

"The heat...is concentrating around her hands?"

Nearl stared in shock and amazement.

"Is she...distorting the space around her?"

A guard operator shakingly asked.

"...NO." Nearl eyes widened. "She's superheating the air around her!"

Nearl quickly ran ahead.

"...Silence."

As Talulah unleashed her arts.

BOOM!!

"NNGH!"

Nearl grunted as she blocked the attack with her shield.

Her armor breaking from the backlash of the attack.

"Hah..."

Nearl gasped as she glared at Talulah.

"Nearl!"

Dobermann shouted in worry.

"Just...a mere warmup."

Nearl panted.

"Are you crazy!?" Dobermann shouted. "Your armor is gone! There's no way you can fight her on your own!"

"I'm fine!"

"You stubborn!"

'Is now really the time to be arguing?'

Ignika wondered.

'That's just how mortal creatures are.'

Lobo mused.

"...Hm?"

Talulah suddenly said.

!!!

"Get down!!"

Ace quickly grabbed Nearl and threw themselves onto the ground.

*FSH!!*

Narrowly avoiding another attack.

"What!?"

Nearl shouted in shock.

"Invisible flames?" Ace stared in shock, before shaking his head. "Forget it, this has proven that she outclasses us in every way possible!"

"Just that attack caused the entire block to melt!"

"Snipers!" He ordered. "Attack!"

R.I. Snipers began shooting at her.

Only for the projectiles to melt as she vaporizes them.

"Chernobog has already attained liberation." Talulah began her speech. "Our work here is done, and your group has proven most interesting."

'Oh, great!' (M/N) deadpanned. 'We get to hear a villain monologue!'

As if he hadn't heard those before!

"Such a shame." Talulah said suddenly. "That despite your worth, you have chosen to pick the wrong side.

"Rhodes Island, you should have stood firmly with the Infected.

*CRACKLE* *FSH*

"Wha!?" "What the!?" "The air is so hot...it burns to...breath..."

"Such power." "What a monster!"

"Everything is melting away." The Guard Operator trembled in horror at the scene they were witnessing. "Not even ashes remain."

"You have the resilience of liberators." Talulah praise. "But I grow tired of this."

"Amiya!" Nearl shouted. "We have to leave!"

"..."

Amiya shook in anger as she stared at the scene before her.

'Why throw away your lives so recklessly...?'

Those words.

They kept resonating in her head.

Even though it was aimed at Reunion, she felt it hit her as well.

Why did they throw their own lives so recklessly as well?

'Because we want to see a better tomorrow!'

Amiya thought to herself.

'To see the possible future where we don't have to live in fear!'

"This is the price you must pay for slaughtering your fellow Infected."

Talulah sermon continued, as Reunion cheered.

"I shall grant you an ending that I am quite fond of."

She smiled evilly.

"...Disappear."

With those words, the flames increased in size, power, and heat. Hurtling towards them.

"Damn it!" Dobermann shouted. "We need to run!"

"At the speed that things coming, it's impossible!"

Nearl argued.

"I'll try to-!!"

*Step*

"DOCTOR!?"

Nearl shouted as (M/N) boredly walked forward.

Startling Amiya out of her thoughts.

"Wait, Doktah!" Amiya shouted. "Don't! You'll be killed."

"..."

*ZIP!!*

(M/N) suddenly appeared in front of the flames.

Unbothered by the heat.

"...Pitiful."

*SCHWING!!*

Using a sword technique, he learned from an old friend.

...He sliced the blazing inferno into two.

(Like that)

!!!

The spectators could only look in shock as the flames were redirected into the buildings.

BOOM!

Destroying them instead of Talulah intended target.

"*GASP!!*"

Soon, Rhodes Island could feel the oppressive pressure disappearing from that attack as they found that they could breathe easily again.

"Im-IMPOSSIBLE!"

A Reunion member shouted.

"How could a mere mortal cleave Talulah flames just like that!?"

(This is what happens when you have an OP Main Character 😅)

Soon, many Reunion Members started feeling uneasy and scared.

Never have they encountered anyone who could deflect Talulah attack with just a simple sword strike.

Talulah herself was in shock.

'...Is this Doctor a threat to my plans?'

Kaschey thought to himself.

Talulah power should be unmatched!

And yet here was this mere Doctor (Could he even be called a Doctor?) effortlessly matching her strength.

"It is pointless to hesitate." (M/N) showed the tip of the Sakabatō to them. "When defending myself."

"Though, I must say, I'm...rather disappointed."

???

"Tahu flames burn brighter and hotter than yours ever will."

!!!

"YOU...!!"

Talulah broke character once more as anger could be seen on her face and in her eyes.

Never has anyone ever insulted her like that!

'Who's Tahu?'

Rhodes Island was confused on the name.

Didn't sound like a local name, nor a common name.

But he knew this person and even stated that their fire was stronger than hers!

'Who has he met in his life!?'

Many people thought to themselves.

"Now then..."

The air grew tense as a powerful bloodlust enveloped the area.

"I grew weary of having nuisances like you hinder our way."

Getting into a stance, he tightens his grip on the Reverse Blade.

Reunion tensing up for a fight.

Too bad nothing could prepare them for this.

"Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū (Flying Heaven Govern Sword-style)"

(M/N) coldly spoke.

Before disappearing so fast it could not be seen by the naked eye.

!!!

"Where did he-!?"

A RM could not finish their words.

"Ryūkansen (Dragon Coil Flash)."

!!?!

In the blink of an eye, (M/N) unleashed a spinning attack striking down a large number of Reunion soldiers.

!!!

"Bastard!"

A RM yelled swinging their sword down.

Only for (M/N) to quickly sidestep and speed past them in another spinning attack.

!!!
*SPLURT!!*

Causing countless pools of blood to spill.

!!!

"...Do-Doktah??"

Amiya stared in fear.

Who was this man!?

"Is that the Doctor?"

Dobermann stared in horror.

They've witnessed his power before, but that paled in comparison to his swordsmanship!!

"Ryūsōsen (Dragon Nest Flash)!"

(M/N) soon unleashed a flurry of sword strikes on his would be attackers.

(Probably not the right one, but basically showing a fraction of how dangerous he is)

Each one falling down to the ground in utter agony and defeat.

"DAMN YOU!!"

A bulky Reunion Brute yelled as he tried to slam his weapon on him.

"Doryūsen (Earth/Land Dragon Flash)!"

Concentrating his power, he slammed the ground. Sending massive shockwaves and debris at him.

"ARGHHH!!"

The Brute screamed in pain as he was assaulted by the powerful blast.

"This man...is the Doctor?"

Nearl eyes widened as she shook.

"Such skill! Such power!"

'He would most definitely by a worthy contender for the Knights tournament!'

Nearl thought to herself.

She had never seen such a powerful, yet graceful, swordsmanship in her life!

"He...he killed them all."

A R.I. Medic trembled in fear as (M/N) was soon finished decimating Reunion forces.

*TMP*

"I wouldn't go that far." (M/N) calmly said. "If I was aiming with intent to kill...they would already be dead."

"HUH?!"

Rhodes Island screamed in shock.

"Plus..."

He showed them his sword.

"This type of sword is not meant to kill like other swords are. At least, not immediately."

"...What?"

Ines took a close look at the sword.

!?!?

"The blade...is reversed?"

Ines stared in shock.

She's never seen a sword like that.

"Why...?"

Scout looked in confusion as well.

"Ooohh..."

The sounds of the Reunion Members that (M/N) had struck down, could be heard.

As they twitched and writhed in pain.

"We're...alive?"

One said.

"What...?"

Talulah eyes widened.

Her hand covering her bleeding side that (M/N) had struck.

"Why would you...?"

She tried to ask.

It didn't make sense to her!

"...If this was my old self, I would have killed you solely for being in my way." (M/N) answered truthfully. "But I don't see the need to kill every single thing that stands in my way nowadays."

"Not unless they are true evil and deserve death."

"...And you think we are not?"

Crownslayer spoke up.

"All I see are a bunch of misguided children." (M/N) answered. "Led by a blinded Messiah."

"I wonder..."

(M/N) started whispering.

"Who's truly in control? You, Talulah? Or the evil possessing you?"

!?!?!

While his voice was hard to hear for everyone else. Talulah somehow heard him.

'WHAT!?' Karschey thought to himself. 'He knows I'm here!?'

This wasn't good!

If he knew that he was possessing Talulah, then that meant he could expose everything and ruin what he has been planning for years!

"We'll meet again." (M/N) smirked as he started moving backwards. "Of course, when we do."

"I'll purge you of that corruption, Talulah."

(M/N) and Lobo voice spoke up in sync.

As an ominous whistling could be heard.

!?!?

"STOP!!"

The possessed Talulah shouted.

!!

Only to fall to one knee as her wounds were more serious than she thought.

"Talulah!"

Mephisto and Faust ran to her side.

"You should probably find a better job." (M/N) advised the two. "Your current one sucks."

Mephisto and Faust just stared at him.

'Why?!' Mephisto thought to himself. 'Why does he give an aura of safety!? Why do I feel at ease in his presence!?'

'Even though he's shown just how brutal he can be!?'

Faust just stared.

'Why does he make me feel...hope?'

The Sniper thought to himself.

"Until then."

(M/N) smirked.

"Shadows."

Using his powers, Rhodes Island were engulfed in Darkness.

!!!

"WHAT THE!?"

Was all they said as they soon disappeared.

"..."

"..."

"This soldier is beyond us."

A large man with a deer like helmet spoke up.

"He certainly is not one to shy away from fights."

A white-haired, blue-eyed rabbit girl hummed.

"He's truly interesting."

"..."

Talulah slowly got up.

"...Get the wounded treated."

She commanded.

"We can't afford to lose our advantage."

"Right!" "Roger!" "Sure." "Understood."

Everyone got to work as Talulah stared at the spot where (M/N) had previously been.

"...We'll meet again." Talulah swore. "And next time, my flames will engulf and burn your very existence away."

With that, she walked away.

-Random location-

"Ouch!" "Damn it!" "That hurt."

R.I. and Ines groaned as they fell unceremoniously to the ground.

"The hell was that for!?"

Dobermann and Ines shouted.

"A quick getaway."

(M/N) shrugged.

"Could have warned us."

Scout grumbled.

"Whatever." (M/N) waved them off. "Any ideas where we are?"

"..."

Taking a look around, Amiya answered.

"Based on our location." She said. "We are close to the evacuation point."

"...Huh." (M/N) blinked. "Go figure."

"Ok!" Dobermann shouted. "We are almost too the rendezvous! We just need to-!"

!?

"GET DOWN!"

Ines tackled Dobermann to the ground.

"What the-!?"

KABOOM!!

Dobermann question was cut off as a massive explosion erupted at a distance.

...In the same line of fire that Dobermann was previously at.

"AWWW!!"

A female voice pouted.

"Why did you have to spoil my fun, Ines?"

A strange woman walked up to them.

(???)

"W."

Ines coolly greeted.

"Ines." W nodded her head. "Mind telling me why you are renegading on the contract?"

"I have no love for backstabbers."

Was all she said.

"I see..."

W mused.

Someone from Reunion attacked Ines?

"More and more interesting."

"Damn it!" Dobermann growled. "Just when we were so close!"

"What about the Recon team?"

Ace asked, hand tensed as he prepared for a fight.

"No luck!" Dobermann angrily said. "I can't get in touch!"

"Careful!" Nearl suddenly shouted. "She has explosives!"

"Who...are you?"

Amiya cautiously asked.

"Hmm." W mused. "I don't expect you to know me, but I do him."

She pointed at (M/N) who deadpanned.

'And yet, another person who knew the me here.'

"Appearance wise aside...though he does look good now."

W muttered that last part out.

"I remember him and what he did for Babel."

???

'Babel?'

What a strange name.

"What do you want?"

(M/N) crossed his arms, glaring at her.

"Hey, hey." W put her hands up. "Don't be like that. I've no love for that crazy she-dragon, Talulah. Not everything has to be a fight, you know?"

"Hypocrite."

Ines deadpanned.

W just laughed.

*SHINK*

"Get to the point." (M/N) drew his sword. "My patience is running thin, and I won't hesitate to stab you through the heart."

"You really haven't change, yet you have."

W smiled.

"I just want to talk to you, (M/N)." She smiled. "One on one."

"Hmph." (M/N) scoffed. "The fact that you believed that I'm that naïve to believe a single word from my enemy, really has me questioning your sanity."

"Worth a try." W shrugged. "I was hoping that us being old comrades would make you less hostile towards me. But oh well, I guess things never change."

"Pointless task, really." (M/N) retorted. "I don't you, I don't know them."

He pointed to Rhodes Island, who jumped at that.

"I don't know what's going on." He admitted. "All I know is that Reunion is setting itself up for destruction the longer they persist on this path."

"...I see."

W simply said.

"Well...that's too bad." She sighed. "Good grief."

"Hey little bunny."

She got Amiya attention.

"Are you the leader here."

???

"I must admit, you must have quite the charisma for that group of Operators to be so loyal to you."

!?

"That means they're okay!"

Amiya breathed out.

"I wonder." W pondered. "What it is about you that made them so willingly to give up their lives."

!!!

"What...?"

Amiya softly asked.

"You heard me, dear." W smiled. "None of them will be coming back alive to you."

"You...!"

"AMIYA!"

Ace yelled.

"Get your head together! We don't have time to be messing around!"

Ace voice snapped her to her senses.

"Are you mad?" W smirked. "Do you hate me?"

"...W of Reunion." Amiya coldly spoke. "For the crime you have committed, you will pay!"

Here, Rhodes Island got into position.

"Every life is precious, each and every one...this something that you'll never tarnish!"

"Doctor!"

"Hmph." (M/N) scoffed. "Fine, I'll lead you guys. Just don't slow us down."

"Don't worry." Ines drew her sword. "This'll be over in a flash!"

"Heheh..."

W chuckled.

"Bring it on, Rhodes Island."

"Wait..." (M/N) suddenly said, getting everyone attention. "I need to say something."

???

"Cockroach!" He pointed to a shocked W.

"Huh!?"

She shouted.

"Stay away from the kid, you shotacon!"

CRACK!

A sound like someone pride shattering could be heard.

"SHOTACON!?"

W and everyone else yelled.

"Don't think you can deceive me!" (M/N) yelled. "I know your type. If I let you near him!"

He points to a white-haired, yellow eyed boy.

(Adnachiel)

"I have no doubt you will Ara, Ara'd him!"

"Hu-HUH!?"

Adnachiel shouted in shock.

"I'm not a Shotacon!"

W screamed, her face red.

"Your face says otherwise."

(M/N) 'seriously' said.

While laughing inside.

'You are evil, chico!'

Lobo laughed his tail off.

Mata Nui and Ignika laughing their heads off as well.

'I try.'

(M/N) said.

"My face is red because of embarrassment, jackass!"

W shouted.

"Why?" (M/N) raised an eyebrow. "Because your search history has been exposed?"

...

"..."

"...I always thought W was a little bit weird." Someone said. "This makes sense."

Soon, other RM began nodding their heads.

O///O

Embarrassing the poor girl even further.

"DIE!!" 🤬

W began launching explosives all over the place.

"Scatter!"

(M/N) shouted.

The Operators in question obeyed.

"Try to exploit any weak points and use it against them!"

(M/N) ordered.

"Right!" "Got it!"

"I'll make sure to stay away from the Shotacon!"

Adnachiel shouted.

"I'm not a SHOTACON!!"

W screamed as she started blasting at him.

"Then why are you chasing me!?"

Adnachiel shouted as W tried to catch him.

"DIE!!"

W screamed with righteous (*Cough* HORNY! *Cough*) FURY!!

'...I'm adopting him.'

(M/N) thought to himself.

'Can you stop adopting people.' Ignika deadpanned. 'For 5 MINUTES!?!?'

(When they stop making adorable operators to adopt then I will! Which means!)

'NO.'

(M/N) deadpanned.

Before performing a roundhouse kick at a Brute.

"You are blocking my light!"

He shouted as the Brute was sent flying.

BOOM!

And exploded like a scene from Spongebob.

"Not bad..."

(M/N) noted as he observed the battle before him.

Amiya was casting large radius spells at a group of RM.

Dobermann was using her whip to knock them out.

Nearl was smashing and bashing the RM elegantly with her shield.

Adnachiel was dodging and blasting W every time she got close.

The other Operators were fending off RM.

"Could use some improvement, but they certainly have fire."

"That's for sure."

Mata Nui nodded.

"I have no doubt that under your training, they will surpass their limits in ways they could never thought imaginable."

'Yeah...!!!'

Quickly reacting, he clenched his hand into a fist.

BAM!!

And struck at the unknown assailant.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Crownslayer screamed as she felt that punch.

...Into her pussy.

"WHAT THE!?"

W and Ines shouted in shock.

(M/N) blinked as he realized what he had just done.

"Oops."

(M/N) sweatdropped.

"Accidentally used the Pussy Destroyer technique."

"Ba-bastard..."

Crownslayer whimpered as she fell to the ground and covered her womanhood.

RIP, Crownslayer pussy.

...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Silence could be felt and literally tasted.

"...AHHH!!!"

The Reunion Members that were with W ran for their lives.

"RUN!" "MOMMY!" "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!"

"..."

Soon, it was just Rhodes Island, Ines, W, and a dead inside Crownslayer.

"...Want to continue trying?"

(M/N) stared.

"NOPE!!"

W crossed her hands in an X formation.

"I'm good for today!"

Quickly grabbing Crownslayer, she turned to them and said.

"I'll admit." She started. "This was very unexpected, but we'll meet again someday."

"And when we do, I will get my answers one way or another."

With that said, she quickly made her escape with a whimpering Crownslayer.

"..."

"..."

"Are we done here?"

(M/N) asked.

"Yep!" "Yes!" "Let's go!"

Everyone quickly rushed to the rendezvous location.

*WHIRR!!*

Quickly boarding the helicopter and leaving the desolated state of Chernobog behind.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The silence was stifling.

"Awkward."

Adnachiel sweatdropped.

No surprise there. Not after the Doctor little stunt.

That was more traumatizing than when he kicked Reunion ass.

"Where are we going?"

(M/N) sighed.

"Home."

Ace said.

"Home?"

(M/N) and Ines raised an eyebrow at that.

"Yes, Doctor." Scout nodded. "We're going back to our old haunt."

"Back home." Amiya nodded. "To Rhodes Island."

"..."

(M/N) said nothing as he stared at the window and at the distance.

A hand under his chin as his arm was plopped up against the windowsill.

"..."

A new adventure was about to begin.

And done!

Finished quicker than I thought I would.

Glad I had the mental energy to write this chapter.

Added some Rurouni Kenshin elements here.

Hope you guys got a kick out of W new title.

That poor soul.

Not my fault, people decided to run with that.

Like with Silverash and the whole 'continue the bloodline' gag.

Poor Adnachiel.

And poor Crownslayer.

...

Anyways,

We finally made it out of Chernobog and are heading to Rhodes Island.

How will (M/N) meeting with Kal'tsit go?

Especially when she learns of the things, he did in Chernobog?

We'll see eventually.

Have a good day/night!
