Henshin Justice Unlimited Heroes vs. The Army of 1000 Kaiju

[Captain Shark]

Chapter 8:

Suddenly dispersing from the kaiju's maw was a wrecking ball-like tongue that collided with Zanspine, throwing it back as the mobile suit received an onslaught of bashing with the monster violently wailing his head. The mobile suit eventually managed to jump into the air only for the monster's bone scythes to fire wave-like streams of magical energy, causing mild explosions and grounding it. Upon Zanspine landing on its feet the monster's wings emitted a cold wind, slowing the movements down. This gave the giant nightmare fuel time to float into the air and ram Zanspine using its nose drill, rapidly assaulting the mobile suit's cockpit with Slenderman being displeased. Zanspine managed to grab a beam saber and jam it into the creature's mouth only for it to be unphased and barely damaged at the super hot weapon. Beam strings were launched from the mobile suit only for the bone scythes to effortlessly cut through them before bashing Zanspine relentlessly.

Slenderman became increasingly furious as he unleashed his tinkle bits and beam rifle, violently shooting at the monster. However, the creature moved faster than they could hit him and for any stray shot that did him him barely slowed the beast down. The monster used the fists on his wings to grab Zanspine's arms and begin to rotate them like cement mixers. The monster's hand seemed fine while Zanspine's arms were unable to last long eventually having them ripped off. The tinkle bits were assaulting the beast only for it not to so much as care and quickly destroyed them by firing cosmic rays from his four eyes with precise accuracy. The monster used his stegosaurus tail to bat Zanspine into the air with it trying to fly off. However, the monster took flight as well and quickly made it in front of Zanspine.

At that moment the monster's ribcage unleashed a giant boa constrictor with pit viper fangs and a sideways set of jaws that grabbed Zanspine with the fangs emitting acid. The mobile suit started to melt as the monster curled his wings around the frame like a bat about to devour its prey. The mobile suit was finally terminated as the monster unleashed a spray of acid from his mouth onto the head and legs, melting the armor as Slenderman tried to escape yet could not. When only the cockpit was left the skeletal kaiju threw it with the fanged boa into a vacant parking lot where nobody was hurt. Not wanting HJU to get a hold of any secrets, Slenderman pressed the self destruct button and violently laughed before the cockpit exploded, killing him. One of the citizens looked on in awe.

Gatack Striker: Oh man, that was awesome!

The monster slowly descended back in front of the capital building where he clearly saw everyone through the windows. However, within seconds he noticed that time had suddenly stopped with nobody else but him moving. He turned around and saw The Architect floating in midair.

The Architect: Well if it is not my old nemesis. I should have known you would assist these ants, Digamma.
Digamma: If it restores the glory of the Bloodstone Star it is worth it.
The Architect: Even you alone cannot stop the Army of 1000 Kaiju by yourself.
Digamma: I am not fighting you alone, you should know that better than anyone as they oppose you too.
The Architect: Oh please, they know nothing of our back story and the instant they find out we are of the same species they will cast you out too.
Digamma: If only I was anything like you. I will say this much, Heta, I will always respect the individual you once were, not this abomination you have become. Or do you prefer "The Architect" now? Rather egotistical that you use a word like "The" in your name.
The Architect: I never did understand why you oppose me, we are both individuals of logic and we value order, why can you not see that?
Digamma: It is not the original order, you changed what did not require change, and I know you have a puppet master working your strings, one who intends to conquer all of fiction and cyberspace alike.
The Architect: And we shall succeed. I know time based powers have no effect on you so unless you're out of the picture there is no point in using them. Especially since you have been the only major enemy I have had up until this point. With that I must terminate you; the battle for Henshin Justice Unlimited will be our final battle.
Digamma: I look forward to it.

The Architect's metallic body vanished with time being restored to the area. Digamma's body dissipated with his core stat being fully functional and the HJU scientists being scrambled to acquire answers. Meanwhile, The Architect finds himself talking with two figures at the center of his artificial site of Pixel Galaxy.

The Architect: Well, Slenderman is dead, Abandoned it is your turn.
Abandoned: Wanna see my head come off?
The Architect: That is fine for scaring a photographer in an abandoned Disney resort, but not to someone like me. Either way, you're the new minion, a new core stat will be given to you in a bit once you've been briefed on his infiltrated identity.
Abandoned: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *teleports away*
The Architect: And with him out of the picture we can talk. *monolith with mirrors create a black mist within it*
?: Heta, good to know you have been making progress. Is that kaiju army of yours ready among other defenses?
The Architect: Yes, master. I just need to prepare a special something for Digamma.
?: Bah! I'd rather you not waste time with him.
The Architect: But master, he has been getting in our way for too long, he has to either convert or die horribly.
?: As long as it has no serious consequence on the primary objective I do not mind. However, if they have serious consequences I will erase you like you did your brethren. That body has to be completed, Azathoth's near-century rule over fiction ends soon!

The monolith goes back to normal as The Architect sees a gigantic dark brown body being constructed below him within the site's core and surrounded by the core stats the site uses to store it's forces.

Chapter 9:

Within the minutes following Zanspine's destruction and Digamma dissipating, Simon Strange contacted Emperor Keith with the entire upper staff of knights, moderators, and administrators watching in via a high-definition plasma screen TV.

Simon: Emperor Keith, Toho Kingdom is being under siege and it needs to be rescued while we have the chance.
Emperor Keith: Oh Simon I am so glad you're here. Yes we will scramble the Knights of Justice to TK, we have been prepared for this should they surge again.
Simon: Good, we already have a few official core stats with out official monsters to try out and thanks some extra funding we are able to do it to our lesser monsters similar to fantasy matches at-
Emperor Keith: I was not done. Ten minutes ago that core stat that fell to our planet suddenly awoke on it's own and terminated the Zanspine that attacked Sunstone recently. We examined the core stat itself and guess what we found?

Gatack Striker presented Digamma's core stat, now with all of the information on it available and displayed to Simon Strange with one part particularly interesting. According to the construction data, the core stat itself was manufactured at Sunstone.

Simon: So that is where Digamma went.
scikaiju: Wait a sec, you knew about this?
Rider Faiz: Was this core stat supposed to be a rogue?
DecaEnd: What is this even from?
Simon: Well this was inevitable and I planned for this to be top secret, but now that everyone knows I will have to make a press conference. However, we have to save Toho Kingdom!
Emperor Keith: He is correct although when this is over, Simon, I will want answers. Knights! Assemble! FOR JUSTICE!

Several dozen knights around HJU scrambled to their nearest star ships and took off for the site of Toho Kingdom, which at this point was being decimated. The knight in training known as Amon was in charge of carrying the core stat that held Digamma's data. Within minutes most of the knights entered TK's orbit and could see fiery explosions and cataclysms around the planet with The Architect's many fleets blasting refugees with various types of weapons and vehicles. The Knights of Justice fought back, downing many frigates, star fighters, cruisers, shuttles, and flagships while radioing in to the refugees to head toward HJU. Meanwhile at the control room, Emperor Keith was giving orders to his staff.

Emperor Keith: Tom, prepare the runways across the planet! Aoi, prepare medical teams for those assigned areas! Lynxara, prepare the refugees for shelter! Ca- Wait, where is Captain Shark?
Captain Shark: I just got out of the can, boss!
Emperor Keith: For Twenty MINUTES!?
Captain Shark: Golden Corral's triple fountain feature! TRIPLE FOUNTAIN! I think I lost several pounds!
Emperor Keith: Why am I not surprised? Go on a diet later, right now just prepare a news report and then tell Amon to activate Digamma to save the TK staff! MakaiMan, you were a former moderator there, where would they be right now?
MakaiMan: The capitol building's bomb shelter, you'd need a kaiju of at least 60+ meters to burst that thing open!
Emperor Keith: Alright, we're using Digamma to save TK!

The Knights of Justice in the mean time had suffered several casualties, but for the most part successfully penetrated the site's atmosphere after the last refugees were rescued. The capital city was demolished with the defense systems obliterated and the streets filled with fires, corpses, and The Architect's forces with the knights blowing away at every enemy they encountered. Amon received the order to unleashed Digamma and did so with the monster given orders and directions via a speaker spoken by Emperor Keith to save the staff under the capitol building. As Digamma flew he used his cosmic eye beams to completely decimate every enemy that lied ahead of him with little effort.

Amon: WOW that thing has some power to it!

Just as Digamma reached the heavily demolished capitol building he landed, set his head ninety degrees upward, and started chanting "moero" over and over again.

Lynxara: What is Digamma doing?
Gatack Striker: According to the core stat Digamma recharges his energy via meditation, sort of like Heisei Moguera in the Atari Godzilla games except he chants "moero".
Rider Faiz: You mean "burning up"? What is this guy, a Skyrider fan?
Captain Shark: Skyrido is the best Kamen Rido. D-D-D-Deal with it!

Once Digamma's energy was restored he used his arm scythes to slice the buildings away and used his wrecking ball tongue to sweep away the debris. Upon finding the bomb shelter the ghost kaiju used his nose drill to penetrate the bomb shelter, allowing the staff to run out. However, the only member down there was the moderator Yaburu, who Digamma picked up and placed onto Amon's star fighter. Digamma dissipated and the fighter flew off. The knights successfully retreated with The Architect's forces focusing more on destroying the rest of the planet than anything else. Once the knights had fled, The Architect talked to his master at the core of Pixel Galaxy once again.

The Architect: The Army of 1000 Kaiju will be complete soon, master.
?: Good, Heta. Will the new body itself be ready as well?
The Architect: It is still in the alpha testing, I will be lucky if I can reach beta testing by the time the invasion of Henshin Justice Unlimited begins.
?: I am filled with disappointment. Fortunately your new minion and his core state will have the final pieces to the puzzle of Banpresto's lost technology. The body can be used against Azathoth in that time.
The Architect: Abandoned will need time and he cannot do it until the invasion occurs.
?: You did prepare him the prototype weapon for the body, have you not?
The Architect: The weapon is with him and he will test it during the invasion. Until then we can only wait.
?: Before I leave you, Heta, I will grant you an extremely weapon that even Digamma has no resistance to.
The Architect: You cannot possibly mean?

Appearing from a ray of light from the monolith was a rifle that resembled a Winchester Model 61 pump action rifle except that the wooden section of the mount went to the front of the trigger. Most of the wood sans the butt itself was covered in a diamond pattern. If The Architect had a facial expression that his faceless head could somehow emote it would resemble a child on Christmas morning.

The Architect: The Magnavox Light Gun! One of the most powerful weapons every created in the history of fiction! It borderlines the realms of fiction and reality like nothing!
?: This is your new personal weapon along with your black ring.

Chapter 10:

An hour passed since the rescue at Toho Kingdom, seven shuttles each containing about a dozen members were rescued as the site was being destroyed by Pixel Galaxy's forces. At HJU a total of 80 refugees were counted not including the last administrator Yaburu. Within the hour many were dealing with physical and psychological trauma the medics and knights tended to. As this was going on Simon Strange and one of his cohorts at Sunstone, RobotGodAkumatsu, met with Emperor Keith atop the capitol building to discuss matters.

Keith: Strange, answers. Now.
Simon Strange: It is a bit complex.
Burkion: Spit it out man!
Rider Faiz: I want to know what the hell we have!
scikaiju: Before more lives suffer!
Simon Strange: Well, you know how the dimensions of official and unofficial fiction are separated from our realm of cyberspace?
Keith: Yes and these barriers are used to produce core stats.
Simon Strange: In the conception stages of Sunstone we wanted to expand core stats to more than just video games: trading cards. In addition if trading card monsters were voted on enough they could be in the game. This was in collaboration with RobotGodAkumatsu. During these early stages is when things got.... strange.
Keith: Define "strange".
RobotGodAkumatsu: We were contacted from beyond.
DecaEnd: This has bad Lovecraft-esque creepypasta written all over, I know it.
RobotGodAkumatsu: The contact was a living entity from the unofficial dimension during the construction and his creator's identity was unknown. Thanks to the paranormal experts in our community we were able to contact him. The "him" in question is named Digamma. He warned us of the coming of The Architect, a renegade member of his species that hijacked his home star and constructed what we know as Pixel Galaxy.
Keith: And you believed him?
Simon Strange: Not at first, but we made a core stat of him so he could exist in cyberspace thinking he'd be a secret glitch like the Jaguarandi from Virtual-On.
Dark Kabuto: I knew someone else was familiar with Virtual-On! (Nobody tell Milky Rose I owe him five bucks now)
RobotGodAkumatsu: However, the core stat used for him proved too dysfunctional aside from him repeating his jargon over and over, so we tossed his core stat into space and you guys found it. Now The Architect is here with his own artificial site and now we kind of regret not listening.
Keith: That is great and all, but did Digamma say what The Architect's motivation is or anything useful? How the hell did he even activate his own core stat?
RobotGodAkumatsu: We'll talk with him about the self activation. As for The Architect, Digamma has claimed that he was a member of the same species as him, a liquid mercury-based life form called a metallite that lived on a celestial body called the Bloodstone Star. This star was a nexus point for the sands of time across the multiverse that recorded all that came to past. However, The Architect became who he is now through some sort of corruption that killed off 99.9999 etcetera percent of the metallites save for Digamma. To restore the Bloodstone Star, Digamma was given a body by nine dimensional overseers to give him the body we saw.
Simon Strange: Supposedly The Architect creates an army based entirely on core stats of official entities strictly from video games and has only gotten stronger in terms of military might. So much so that he managed to pass into our realm.
Keith: Okay, but what does he want?
Simon Strange: Even Digamma does not know the details, all he knows is something pertaining to both of the Chinese and European zodiacs, Banpresto being the thirteenth, and the Lovecraftian deity Azathoth. What he does know is that The Architect is likely not in control of his actions, rather a puppet master higher than he is.
Keith: So DecaEnd was right, bad Lovecraft-esque creepypasta. In fact after this he'll get a free pizza. Anyway, who is this puppet master?
RobotGodAkumatsu: Digamma was able to sense the energy from the corruption that consumed The Architect. He cannot tell who it is specifically, but he does know it is an official fictional entity and is exclusive to literature, meaning he was never adapted to anything else so neither we nor The Architect can make a core stat on. He can also tell that this entity is not new, rather he has been around for decades.

Just as the others were absorbing the information into their minds, the door to their room opened up to reveal a negative-colored Mickey Mouse costume creepily and slowly advancing. The group was horrified as the costume told them to hush as it ripped its own head off. The pool of yellow chunky blood that squirted out formed into deformed birds with the body slowly melting.

The Abandoned: Wanna see my other trick?

The living costume exploded violently, covering the room with yellow blood. Where the costume once stood a new menace took form. This one familiar to many in the room, filling them with confusion and horror. It gave a monologue: "I am the Taiyou! I am the child of the sun! The crowd roars and the people cheer! I am the ally of justice and the sword of freedom! Liberty cries out for me to defeat you!" Before the roll call was announced to cement everyone's dismay.

AkaRed: AkaRed! Say goodbye to your ranger keys!
Keith: Can this get ANY worse?
Alarm: Attention everyone! Attention everyone! Hundreds of kaiju ranging from ten to one hundred plus meters tall are appearing a dozen kilometers outside the capital city limits and growing exponentially!
Simon Strange: It has begun, the Army of 1000 Kaiju is making its assault....

 

[Captain Shark]

Chapter 11:

Projectiles such as missiles and rockets were accompanied by a variety of flames, beams, rays, bolts, and mists that assaulted the automated defense systems, kaiju sized booby traps, and self defense vehicles. The kaiju army caused a wide range of destruction, preventing larger crafts from taking off into the air. The water based kaiju assaulted the HJU navy from battleships to submarines and even the mine fields. Aerial kaiju went toe-to-toe with aerial defenses such as low orbiting satellites, howitzers, turrets, and electric nets. In the wanton carnage over several dozen kaiju, mostly the small, slow, or fragile went down. The Knights of Justice fought back by growing their sizes using magical properties. For every one kaiju slain eight knights would be brutally damaged or, more commonly, killed in battle. During this the higher ups had to deal with another problem.

Keith: Attention all units! There is an invader posing as AkaRed! Capture or kill him immediately!
Simon Strange: What did he mean by "Ranger Keys"?
Keith: Long story!

AkaRed, or rather The Architect's imitation, ran down through the capitol building, knocking over various staff including the knights. At one point he leaped down twenty stories down from a balcony without injury into the main lobby. Within a short sprint he eventually encountered a "staff only" door. AkaRed pulled out a hilt that released a yellow lightsaber and sliced the door down. Said door lead to a spiral staircase over two hundred meters tall, leading him down into the building's sub-region. There he found a giant safe which he managed to crack with delicate hearing and touching. Soon the combination was unlocked.

Burkion: Freeze!
DecaEnd: Caught you!
Dark Kabuto: State your identification!
scikaiju: I doubt he will comply!
AkaRed: Oh how I doubt it.

AkaRed morphed his head which turned into none other than Captain Shark. The four knights were in shock. In the middle of the shock AkaRed turned his lightsaber into a blaster pistol which fired in four directions at once. Each blast successfully hit the knights' pistols out of their hands.

AkaRed: Yes, I was indeed the one called Captain Shark. My predecessor was also Captain Shark, you know him as Slenderman.
scikaiju: You two were one of them same?
AkaRed: Nope, just different entities with the same memories.
Dark Kabuto: Any other spies we should know about?
AkaRed: The likes of Ben Wagner, Brody, and RedKingZilla were brainwashed to help infiltrate and make Toho Kingdom easier to conquer. Of course the kaiju did inadvertently killed them among the carnage.
DecaEnd: Why do you want the contents of the vault?
AkaRed: The contents will solve the rest of the final piece of the puzzle.
Burkion: You cannot be a fake, I have known Captain Shark, he was a member of Toho Kingdom, Kaiju Phile, and Kaiju Galaxy for nearly a decade and help find obscure kaiju for us to use in the last war, why is his form taken and where is the real one?
AkaRed: That is a secret. Anyway, thank you Burkion, you were The Architect's eyes and ears for his spy spell, I will now remove it.

AkaRed flings his left hand which causes a rune symbol to appear over Burkion's head before dissipating. The knight fell in sheer shock of the revelation with his allies assisted him. During this AkaRed opened the vault door which revealed over hundred of keys resembling all the various official Super Sentai rangers. The lightsaber was retracted and turned into a flashlight-like device. This device used a laser pointer used to analyze every single key in the vault. AkaRed teleported off once they were all analyzed.

Meanwhile the capital city began to be set ablaze from the kaiju attacking. More knights were being slaughtered with evacuation routes short of space flight were being cut off. Civilians were being crushed and burned by flaming debris. Simon Strange and RobotGodAkamatsu tried to bring as many people into Simon's ship including Keith and the four that pursued AkaRed. Once the ship was full and Digamma's core stat was taken aboard the ship began to take off. The larger kaiju began to target evacuation shuttles with the medical vehicles being the main targets. Just as all was lost, bright flashes of light appeared throughout the city. The kaiju of army was being taken down from smallest to largest. Within a minute one quarter of The Architect's army was taken out. This gave the remaining survivors a chance to evacuate including those in Simon's ship.

Keith: Attention all vessels! Everyone head to Sunstone Games! We will devise a plan there!

Meanwhile at the core of Pixel Galaxy, The Architect finds out what was happening to his army of kaiju.

The Architect: Only 20% remain. Might as well have them dissipate so the core stats will reconstruct them.

The black ring glows, causing exactly that. At HJU the army of kaiju dissipated and the flashes of light disappeared shortly after. At Pixel Galaxy's core the core stats were restoring data and rebooting their various constructs.

The Architect: It appears as though Azathoth has sent his body guards upon us already.
AkaRed: Master, I have retrieved the data!
The Architect: Well done, AkaRed. The final bits of data will be invaluable for ending this conflict for good. No longer will Azathoth be invulnerable. Track the HJU survivors and keep tabs on them.
AkaRed: As you wish. (AkaRed teleports away)
The Architect: This data will take a while and very few core stats will come of it, but once it has been applied and Omega Beast is complete, not even Digamma can stop the new order from grabbing hold.
?: I heard that, Heta.
The Architect: Master! I have acquired the final information required!
?: Finally. However, it will not be long before Azathoth's body guards will be upon us. Make as many core stats to keep them off our case.
The Architect: I cannot accomplish that, Omega Beast's body, and apply the Super Sentai data simultaneously.
?: Very well, the data comes first to make a few core stats out of it so Omega Beast can be perfected. However, when at all possible, chip away at Azathoth's minions unless you want them barring down on us. The replica gods and cosmic and magic entities are barely keeping them from this celestial body as we speak.
The Architect: I understand, master.
?: I will leave the rest to you. Do not fail me.

Chapter 12:

A week passed since the attack on the site of Henshin Justice Unlimited. At the site of Sunstone Games Simon and the other leaders worked with the remaining officials and leaders of the Knights of Justice. Witnessing The Architect's power first hand they realized they needed an army of their own. It was at this time that, based on the democracy of the community and the HJU survivors, that an emergency plan was to begin at once. The conclusion was to create official core stats of fan made monsters, but instead of the approach through video games, it would be much faster and quicker to make them official through trading cards although many monsters were constructed for video game use as back up. Among the trading card monsters was Digamma although he insisted on being left alone rather than grouped with the other kaiju. After a series of two hundred trading card kaiju and over four dozen back up video game monsters were constructed a mysterious warship had suddenly appeared from the site's orbit. The ship used drop eight capsules to the surface of the site's capital. Outside awaited Keith, Simon, RobotGodAkamatsu, and other officials. Seven of these pods contained very broad men in white armor with an eighth in gold armor wielding a red sword acting as their leader.

Emperor: I am the Emperor of Mankind, I wish to speak with whatever is left of this dying fandom.
Keith: I am Keith, leader of the currently uninhabitable site of Henshin Justice.
Simon Strange: I am Simon, I am the leader of the site you walk on.
Emperor: My men and I have come from the Warhammer system and we believe a dire situation is at hand.
RoboGodAkamatsu: I would assume you are referencing The Architect who has been pummeling us lately.
Emperor: Correct. My master's body guards have informed me of his dangerously growing kaiju army and is nearing completion of the Kaiju Code.
Keith: Kaiju Code?
Emperor: Yes. The code is a large map of DNA, technology, energy, and elements locked in an extremely complex algorithm. With it is the complete knowledge of all things kaiju and if applied it could defeat my master.
Simon Strange: Who is this master of yours?
Emperor: He is the mighty Azathoth, the creator of the fabric of fiction and ruler of the realm of literature. His body guards were constructed by the company Nitro+; all of which are from the notorious franchise Demonbane. We of Warhammer, both Fantasy and 40,000, are his many armies. We have come to aid you in fighting the possessed metallite and restore the Bloodstone Star to what it once was. The apocalyptic age might be coming now that one of our own was killed by The Architect: Clint Werner, best known to many of you as an administrator of the now fallen site of Kaiju Phile.
RobotGodAkamatsu: Wait a second, the Warhammer Fantasy writer Client Werner was a KP admin?
Emperor: Yes and he was brutally murdered. The apocalyptic age was prophecized when one of our main contributors has his life prematurely taken. Follow our rules without condition and we will help you.
Keith: Hang on, ally or not we will not just surrender to you.
Emperor: Any more than those rebels that sent your fandom into chaos and most of the sites have been on tight leashes ever since?
Simon Strange: We will not rush into such an agreement, plus it is the fans that will decide that, not us.
RobotGodAkamatsu: If you are willing to help us that is fine, but we have no intention of being ruled over.
Emperor: Very well. Should you ever fight against us we will not hesitate to obliterate you.

The Emperor of Mankind and his troops went back into their pods and returned to their warship. On board it he gave the order to a fleet of a dozen thousand space hulks filled with armed millions of space marines, eldar, and tau ready to fight. The Emperor sent them at the coordinates where Pixel Galaxy was slowly drifting through space. At Pixel Galaxy, The Architect attempts to execute his next motive of attack while acknowledging a failure at the site's core.

The Architect: The final scans are done, while making core stats of individual sentai members is no issue, this only reinforces how few of their mecha had video game appearances.
AkaRed: I am sorry, master.
The Architect: There was nothing you could have done, but video games progress with time, so the mecha will likely only grow with time. Their data is all we need before the Kaiju Code can be completed.
AkaRed: Very well- Master, the territory sensors are picking up enemies! In thousands!
The Architect: I will observe.

The black ring spawns a screen showing all of the space hulks approaching the site. The Architect grabbed his Magnavox Light Rifle and teleported to an orbital position for an attack.

The Architect: Oh Azathoth, your power to allow fictional entities to crossover into cyber space is incredible, it is of no surprise why my master wishes to usurp your throne.

At the end of the statement The Architect aimed the Magnavox Light Rifle at the oncoming fleet and fired. An invisible ray of negative space was shot from the firearm's barrel, colliding with the space hulk garrison. Upon contact thousands of them were decimated into oblivion, the vast majority save for a mere fifty including the Emperor's warship were destroyed in a single blow. Returning to the realm of official fiction is where these ships and their cargo went with the Emperor flabbergasted at what happened; he ordered a retreat back to his own system while The Architect teleported back to the site core.

AkaRed: What exactly IS that weapon?
The Architect: It is from a reality beyond ours and is as old as video games themselves. The enemies have returned to fiction until Azathoth decides to bring them back which will take no less than a decade without help of fans.
AkaRed: Why can't we use that on his body guards?
The Architect: Because I do not want to awaken his trump card just yet. Speaking of which....

The Architect opens a dimensional pocket filled with dozens of newly constructed core stats with the black ring constructing claws to pull them out. Upon these stats being added into the Bloodstone Star within the site core, The Architect activates all of them at once, sending massive shockwaves from the site itself. The lights that had attacked them previously were charging into Pixel Galaxy's territory when the shockwaves hit them, revealing their true forms to be cosmic abominations and gigantic supernatural machines of wide shapes and varieties. Upon impact with the shockwaves these entities were cancelled out with the exception of one entity with two bodies.

The Architect: And now we no longer have to worry about the main body guards of Azathoth.
AkaRed: But master, one of them with two bodies remains.
The Architect: While he is one of the more powerful standard ones I have cancelled out the controller of one of his bodies while his other one is very inactive. Plus as long as we leave one of the stronger ones around Azathoth will not send his trump card who is the entire reason Omega Beast is being constructed to fight.
AkaRed: I see, but what about those guys you just nullified personally?
The Architect: Azathoth's army of Warhammer will be dealt with, I will start with their Fantasy armies to fight their reserves and magic when their end is near before we fight 40,000 armies directly, they I may not make core stats of. As for you, go to Sunstone Games and give them some mayhem.
AkaRed: Yes sir! (teleports off)
The Architect: What says you, master?
?: Stopping those body guards while acquiring their data was invaluable although leaving something as powerful as Liber Legis waltzing around is risky even if only to prevent Demonbane from coming here.
The Architect: No objection to adding the Fantasy armies before the 40,000 armies?
?: It adds military might and diversity among our forces. As long as it gains us more of an edge over Azathoth I approve. I am, however, disappointed how little sentai information was acquired.
The Architect: Rest assured, master, the Kaiju Code will be complete and Omega Beast will be ready; once then you may finally take the throne for yourself.
?: I expect nothing less. I am still glad that angry kaiju fan raised me into this realm to make this possible even if murdering him felt meaningless.

Chapter 13:

12 hours since the failure of the Emperor of Mankind's assault, The Architect's core stats used to spawn the defeated kaiju from the assault on Henshin Justice were finally rebooted to normal. Wasting no time he used his black ring to activate the kaiju army's core stats, as well as those of various teleporters, and sent the force straight to the site of Sunstone. The leaders of Sunstone detected it on planetary radars and sonars, upon which they emitted sirens to have the civilians evacuate to shuttles. The Army of 1000 marched in garrisons straight toward the capital instead of surrounding it like last time. Once more defense systems such as traps, turrets, explosives, and vehicles only killed the shortest and weakest of the bunch. Five minutes into the carnage the remaining Knights of Justice were sent in followed by the activation of every trading card core stat in the site's arsenal. Two hundred kaiju versus one thousand, the site found itself outnumbered 5 to 1.

Beams, missiles, bolts, flames, blasts, rays, and everything in between were fired. Since the monsters of Pixel Galaxy had a wide range of kaiju rather than all steadfast units, most of their kaiju under 50 meters were easily decimated by the onslaught of the fandom's kaiju. Within time Sunstone had the odds favoring them, destroying nearly a full eighth of The Architect's forces while they only lost about ten of their forces. However, this would not be stood for as the larger kaiju started to become more aggressive with many of them towering the battlefield at over six hundred meters in height. Meanwhile, the Knights of Justice handled the smaller kaiju where they could so the Sunstone kaiju could fight without distraction.

Simon Strange: We are slowly cutting them down!
RobotGodAkamatsu: Yes, but at this rate we might have very few kaiju left!
Matt Frank: We have to launch the Kaijuland monsters now! Their stats are ready and their moves are more diverse!
Simon Strange: The Knights of Justice said they will hold them off for as long as they can! As soon as a few of the biggest ones go down it will be much easier and quicker to deploy the Kaijuland monsters!
AkaRed: Can't let you all do that!

Within the control room AkaRed shows up with his yellow lightsaber in hand, chuckling maniacally. He is about to cut up one of the control consoles when Burkion storms in and forces him to the ground.

AkaRed: Hi ya, spy!
Burkion: (punches) WHY DID YOU ASSUME CAPTAIN SHARK'S IDENTITY!?
AkaRed: Because I could.
Burkion: (punches) WHY HIM!?
AkaRed: Because he already existed before.
Burkion: (punches) NOT GOOD ENOUGH! TELL ME WHY!
AkaRed: Why tell you?
Burkion: (punches) HE WAS MY FRIEND! HE WENT MISSING DURING THE FANDOM WAR! WHY HIM!?
AkaRed: Ask my boss, he will te-

Before AkaRed could say anymore his body suddenly dissolved into white foam including his yellow lightsaber. Seconds after, a bright light appeared over the battlefield above the forces of Pixel Galaxy. Within silver and black armor with streaks of gold around the body was a 60 meter tall humanoid figure with a black ring on one hand and the Magnavox Light Rifle in the other; The Architect had entered the battle himself and spoke to those below as both sides were experiencing casualties.

The Architect: Digamma! Today we will end our fight today! With you out of the picture I will have no trouble completely destroying fandoms through interstellar and orbital warfare!
Digamma: I know you're possessed, Heta! Try to fight it!
The Architect: Come and make me!

The Architect fired a ray of black light from his ring, aiming for Digamma who easily withstood the blow before flying and charging at him upward at mach 4. Both kaiju clashed while flying over 6 kilometers from the ground, Digamma having a 40 meter height advantage, but he knew he could not survive a direct blow from the Magnavox Light Rifle. The Architect spawned hammers, swords, daggers, needles, explosives, and beams, some hitting his target with little damage with others being dodged outright. Digamma retaliated with his own assaults, his weapons, while not very effective on standard kaiju, easily wailed on a fragile giant such as The Architect. Blow for blow was exchanged between the two. Both became damaged, Digamma less so, after some time had past.

Meanwhile, Sunstone's monsters and the Knights of Justice had successfully diminished the one thousand kaiju to half of their original size. However, Sunstone's monsters experienced over a quarter of their forces in loss with the last of the Knights of Justice using kamikaze attacks during their last stand. Simon gave the order to launch the Kaijuland Battles monsters, sending them directly behind Pixel Galaxy's forces. These kaiju proved to be helpful to the trading card monsters as they were more versatile, agile, and tough. With their domination of the battlefield the Kaijuland monsters furthered the tide in Sunstone's favor and gave the Knights of Justice the morale they needed.

During this the clash between the two metallites continued with The Architect about to fire the Magnavox Light Rifle right at Digamma. In retaliation Digamma managed to fire his cosmic eye beams at The Architect's left hand, stunning him and disabling the ability for him to trigger it long enough for him to be grappled by the boanoid. Digamma used both of his hands to grasp his enemy's head and attempted to read his mind. As they were metallites, neither Digamma nor The Architect necessarily had minds in the same way humans do, rather recording and relaying of information. He knew that Heta was not entirely in control of his actions and that his judgment had been clouded with dark magic. Digamma then focused on the black ring and tried to do a mind read with it. Unlike with Heta, the black ring exposed Digamma to the insidious author behind the whole war, the intentions he had, how he crossed into cyber space, and details of said author's plan. As Digamma became overloaded with so much information at once he managed to throw the ring off The Architect's ring finger.

Once the ring had been flung the entire military might of Pixel Galaxy had come to a screeching halt while The Architect crashed to the surface of the battlefield. The Sunstone forces were dumbstruck at how quickly it all ended as the black ring and Magnavox Light Rifle also landed from their fall. Digamma landed on the surface and confronted the barely moving foe.

Heta: Digamma?
Digamma: Heta?
Heta: I.... I have complete control over my body again! Not just my thoughts and words!
Digamma: I know, the ring is finally off, you are normal again and we can restore the Bloodstone Star!
Heta: No, not yet, not until he has been defeated! He cannot activate Omega Beast yet, but Pixel Galaxy is still under his control!
Digamma: We can do it if we can construct a core stat of him! There is a way-

Before Digamma could continue, the entire sky was blackened with all of the Pixel Galaxy kaiju dissipating. Following this was a magic construct of a giant hammer than crushed over 90 percent of the remaining Sunstone monsters as well as most of the remaining Knights of Justice. The hammer was shrouded in black smoke with a sinister loud laugh heard across the site.

?: It is about time I reveal myself, don't I? Fear not, kaiju fans, your end will be swift, which is more than I can say for the armies of Azathoth when I take his throne!
Heta: He is really here....
?: I would like to thank one of your own kind for summoning me into this plane of reality! Your blood-thrist for one another is the only reason I stand before you! Then again....
Digamma: Of all the vile entities in literary history....
Morgoth: I would have become your new king eventually and you would have all worshiped the invincible Morgoth! Any final words before I end this miserable fandom forever?

Just as everyone else was in sheer terror and awe at the revelation of Morgoth being behind the recent atrocities, a bright light appeared in what was the remaining battlefield and took shape into a red winged machine, the last normal body guard of Azathoth.

Morgoth: Of all the times YOU had to shows up. Nevertheless, I will not let even Liber Legis stand in my moment of triumph! I possess core stats from the Bloodstone Star itself! You will fall to my hammer of retribution!

Within seconds both Morgoth and Liber Legis rushed toward one another and clashed fist to fist.

 

[Captain Shark]

Chapter 14:

Morgoth and Liber Legis clashed against one another, magically enforced hammer versus sin of cross. Both of them successfully damaged one another slowly, yet surely, as Morgoth inflicted heavy trauma while Liber Legis used the cold capabilities of the abrahadabra to weaken the atomic structure of his foe. The Knights of Justice used every long ranged attack they had in their arsenal against Morgoth even if it was all but futile to help tip the scales in their favor. In the chaos Heta grabbed his weapons and teleported back to Pixel Galaxy with Digamma. Both of them found themselves at the site's core in mere seconds.

Digamma: Why are we here?
Heta: To see if I cannot cancel them both out at the same time.
Digamma: I know Liber Legis can be cancelled out, but what of Morgoth?
Heta: We will have to find out.

In moments Heta opened the metallic floor beneath them, revealing the Bloodstone Star in all its magnificent glory. Both of them set foot on top of the star's sandy surface as Heta's black ring manipulated the environment and scanned the sands of time itself all the way from the conception of video games to the present day. During this the site of Sunstone was growing darker with black clouds and a barrage of lightning and tornadoes which began to ravage the landscape. The site staff ordered everyone into evacuation shuttles preparing to launch as the storms began to crawl toward the capital. In addition to the wild weather, fissures began to form going into the site's mantle, the clash was so disruptive to the fabric of space and time around them Sunstone would likely be destroyed under the hour, taking all of the kaiju fandom's history and legacy with it. Minutes before the fissures or weather hit, Heta found what he was looking for.

Heta: Yes! Thank you Electronic Arts still milking the Lord of The Rings films and easter eggs!
Digamma: Are you sure making a core stat based on a statue will work against him?
Heta: I was able to do it to the standard Lovecraftians and other deities with no other physical appearance otherwise. This will have to do.
Digamma: How long will the stat construction last?
Heta: As long as Morgoth is distracted I should be ready to activate it in two minutes, maybe three. Of course another minute will be needed to cause the cancellation effect of replication.
Digamma: We will have to stop Liber Legis's rampage as well.
Heta: I have a core stat of both his forms and many others waiting for activation as well- Wait a minute.
Digamma: Bad idea?
Heta: Good idea, if I activate enough new core stats at once I can overload the site's system integrity which will force all the active core stats to reboot! Plus the nullification effects themselves will not be affected as long as I activate timed replication!
Digamma: Perfect!

As Sunstone's capital was starting to crumble, Morgoth and Liber Legis continued their clash, exchanging punches while airborne. At first glance it would appear that Morgoth was winning, but Liber Legis summoned a cluster of black holes he was about to shoot into his foe's face, disregarding the area around him. Seconds went by, lives in the balance. Heta quickly constructed the core stat before adding it to the rest of the batch that was ready to activate. Using his black ring he used a beam trail ready to activate them all at once with the core stats of the two demonic entities fighting one another on a timer. The activation occurred, causing a tremendous shockwave from the site's core that could be seen from Sunstone. Before Liber Legis could use any black hole he and Morgoth turned their attention to the shockwave in disarray and confusion. Morgoth teleported away which caused Liber Legis to wonder around as he had no opponent to fight against. At Pixel Galaxy's core, both Digamma and Heta were relieved until Morgoth appeared before them, hammer in hand.

Morgoth: You traitor!
Heta: I am no longer your puppet!
Digamma: Prepare to lose, vile one!
Morgoth: You forget your place! As for you, how you survived before is beyond me, but I will finish the job this time!

Before Morgoth could use his hammer, Digamma fired his eye beams, scythe rays, and acidic spray simultaneously at Morgoth's face, blinding him momentarily. Heta joined in by constructed weapon throwing from his ring behind his former master. The dark lord kept swinging wildly, attempting to batter whatever was in his path, but could not hit either of the metallites. Within a short span of time, the core stats set on timers activated their replication abilities, sending out shockwaves of their own that sent Morgoth and Liber Legis back to the realm of official fiction.

On Sunstone the weather and the planet's crust slowly yet surely returned to normal. The stabilization was observed from the survivors, looking around themselves in sheer awe at what they had witnessed. The city, while damaged, was still structurally intact with the citizens being guided safely back into the streets. Those that were injured were quickly taken care of by the medical staff and before long all the residents started to yell and sing in joy that they had not only survived, but they had won. Through all the odds they had won. Digamma and Heta teleported to the capital city's outskirts, welcomed as heroes. Before either of them had a chance to speak to the people, Heta gave Digamma a core stat, one of which he found rather surprised to see.

Two weeks had passed since the final battle concluded. The remaining leaders of the kaiju fandom officially declared the event as the Deception War. The dead were all rightfully mourned, the Knights of Justice were reduced to a mere squad of nine individuals that were honored among the last of the kaiju fans. Pixel Galaxy's core stats were operating like normal although Heta and Digamma had plans to give the core stats to Sunstone before sending their home back to the realm of unofficial fiction where it belongs although now that Digamma was part of the Colossal Kaiju Combat franchise he could go to the official realm at will. Sunstone would agree to allow Heta to be part of it as well if the community allowed to do so during a segment of adding trading card monsters to the site's expanding arsenal. Sunstone's other core stats for Colossal Kaiju Combat were operating successfully as well, even attracting a wide crowd of people that immigrated from other fandoms that slowly took up site residence. The story would have ended here if not for what happened next.

During an ordinary night the area surrounding Sunstone's very orbit began to move. The space itself became disruptive and inconsistent, an anomaly of sorts began to take place. A gigantic wormhole opened up, swallowing Pixel Galaxy, along with Heta, into it while Digamma looked from afar as he aided the capital city's reconstruction. He flew at super sonic speeds toward the area, but it was too late, the site had been sucked into the anomaly, sending it to another place in cyberspace. The site staff took notice of it, but it did not stop there as another wormhole opened nearby as the other one closed. This ship was that of none other than the Emperor of Mankind, this time assisted by his black armor-cladded son, Horus, as they both used landing pods to go to the front of the capitol building.

Simon Strange: You again?
Emperor: By order of the armies of Azathoth, we hereby end your entire site and fandom!
Simon Strange: Are you barbaric?
Horus: Watch your tongue!
Simon Strange: No! I want to know what is going on here!
Emperor: Two weeks ago the site of Pixel Galaxy cancelled out the vast majority of the Warhammer Fantasy section of Azathoth's military as well as his last standard body guard. Only the Lizardmen remain of the Fantasy section and the Tau have promised to take them under their wing, in the mean time this all happened in this system and we are going to destroy you for it!
Simon Strange: I would not be too sure of that. Matt! RGA! Show them what we have!

At that moment both RobotGodAkamatsu and Matt Frank brought forth a core stat, specifically the one that was given to Digamma by Heta, and showed it in front of the leaders. On the core stat's holographic screen read one name that shocked both the Emperor of Mankind and Horus: Elder God Demonbane.

Simon Strange: We do a replication and your master's bod guard goes out. He will be vulnerable to all fandoms, his throne can taken from him, and your military will eventually crumble whether you like it or not.
Horus: Alright, do it!
Emperor: Horus, do not encourage this loon!
Horus: Oh stop it, dad! We both know how much you'd love to take the throne of Azathoth and rule over all of fiction!
Emperor: It still is not my place!
Horus: If not yours then who's? Khrone? Nurgle? Tzeentch? Hell, even the Horned Rat would have a high chance of stealing the throne with your attitude!
Emperor: Don't you even DARE tempt me, boy!
Horus: Why bother? I might as well take the throne myself!
Emperor: Blasphemy!

Within seconds both leaders, father and son, fought each other violently as they clashed swords and used mental attacks against one another. They began to rip each other apart from the inside and before long Horus was dead, but the Emperor was now in a vegetative state from which he could not recover. More landing pods came to the planet surface containing armed space marines that retrieved the bodies, the ones with the Emperor looked normal while the ones that took Horus's body appeared to be demonic. Neither of them took arms against Sunstone for fear of using the core stat to make their master vulnerable. Within minutes the Warhammer ship left back to its fandom. Meanwhile, at Pixel Galaxy's core, Heta writhed in pain as a new demonic force was possessing him by the black ring he wore.

Heta: What? No! Not again! Why? I- AH!........... What is your bidding, master?
Malal: Good to see the Omega Beast was not dismantled. As for what to do, construct more core stats, both against the armies of Azathoth and to construct not only the armada of Pixel Galaxy, but also whatever will contribute to the destruction of Omega Beast.
Heta: As you wish.
