Sora pulled himself to his feet, glaring at Raphael. “Okay, maybe I need to go all out on this one.” In a flash of light, Sora began floating in the air, his clothes entirely white and black. He’d switched out keyblades, too. One was the Ultima Weapon. The other’s shaft was a deep, dark purple with black and green vines twining around it. The hilt was a light purple in another vine design, and the blade featured a wicked looking curve which was stained blood red. The keychain featured a cracked flower. “Going to need your help for this one, Pansy.” He pointed Ultima at Michael, calling out "Curaga!" A flurry of glowing green leaves surrounded Michael as his head floated back onto his neck, the dent disappearing and his eyes whirring back to life.

Michael nodded appreciatively to Sora  before he turned to Raphael, letting out black sand from his wrists that went into the floor, raising three deceased  stone Ogres "My servants shall detain him for a minute at most!

Emerl  suddenly appeared behind Raphael, "Oi dumbass! You never go easy on things like me!" He performed some rapid blows which Raphael was easily blocking with his cane. It took a few moments before the god found himself using more force as he gave a competitive grin. "Oi fools! I can only stall him for 2 mins!" Emerl shouted with rage at the others

 Raphael, interested by the machines capabilities to adapt, changed to a completely different style as his  sword disappeared and was replaced by a pair of daggers. "Do you really think you may harm me mortal? I am chaos, I am change, none may stop me! "

 Emerl only grab the deities body as his body merged with it."That's why Nth combining will weaken you, I'd a good time fighting you!" The god felt his body mixing with forces of Harmony while his chaos energy was being drained and converted against him. It took a minute before a human was spat out of the metal covered god. The human only stared up and heard a maniacal laughter from the god as he blew up his prison. The insane god stared at the human "Well at least he remembered to spit me out before doing something stupid." The human sighed as he summoned a grey armor and a blade it had the hilt of sonic and black knight's excalibur, yet the blade is different as it was longer and more wider. "Well I told Michael I won't use Essence, but madness had taken over that moment." The human now identified as Emerl charged at Raphael as he notice the human's eyes glowed. He wisely dodged the attack which slash a piece of his hair off. He attempted to recover it, yet nothing happened. This made the insane god narrowed his eyes as he quickly displaced the essence human by sending him into a black hole. "Oh shit!" Emerl yelled before he disappears from sight as he focused on everyone else.      

I slenderwalked behind Raphael and grabbed him, slenderwalking us several hundred feet up into the air and  hooking him on my scythe before using it to throw him at high speed unto the ground, I looked to Michael, whom was fighting constructs made undoubtedly by Raphael and was about to slenderwalk to the ground when a pair of daggers stabbed me in the shoulders, I screamed in pain as a burning sensation filled my body, only for it to stop as Michael again took on my pain, falling right as his stone Ogres finished off the constructs. I then looked to Raphael, who was laughing darkly before a Thundaga from Sora hit him square in the chest, doing little more than make his hair frizz up.

Sora grinned. "Time for me to get in on this." He quickly flew behind Raphael, throwing the darker keyblade at him repeatedly as he used Ultima to spam Fira spells at his back. "Hey ugly! You call yourself a chaos god? I've seen ferrets more threatening than you!"

Raphael looked to Sora with a psychotic grin "Let me help you hear the screaming... listen to its bitter lullaby..."  He then changed his daggers into a pair of gauntlets and appeared right behind Sora, taking his keyblade and dispelling it as he grabbed him by the throat. "HEAR MY SORROW SONG, SORA!"

Raphael roared in a psychopathic rage as he struggled against his bonds, breaking free in mere seconds before I slenderwalked behind him with my scythe in it's more manageable four selves, each looking like a skull on a small metal spine with a flaming scythe blade coming out the mouth, I  rammed my scythe right into his arm, freeing Sora right as a blast of red electricity ran between Raphaels hands, seems I saved Sora from being Fricassee.

Sora sighed in relief, summoning his keyblades once again as he nodded to me. "Thanks for that. Not sure what that attack was, but I don't think I would have liked it much."

Michael nodded "That is one of Raphael's cruelest executions, he makes you live through his entire life in mere moments, making your brain explode from data overload, stay away from his hands."

Sora just smirked. "Got a better one for you. Aeroga!" A mini-cyclone formed around Sora, whirling around at high speeds. "Let's see him try to grab me now."

 Raphael growled and flew straight at Sora, breaking through the winds with ease and punching Sora so hard that a painful crack was heard. Sora went flying back into a wall, the cyclone reforming just in time to cusion the blow. "Okay," he said, casting a quick Cura on himself, "cockiness gets you killed. Got it..."

I then Slenderwalked to Raphael and planted each of my four scythes in Raphaels joints, temporarily paralyzing him as I grabbed the Archive and ripped it from his neck, tearing out my scythes and reforming them as I crushed the crimson crystal heart, Raphael then screamed in agony as the area turned back into canterlot, Raphael slowly stood up, but... I he felt different. I looked to his eyes, once cold dead and cruel, now warm, alive, and full of remorse as his eyes filled with tears "What... what have I done?" he looked around him, seeing the various wounds on my friends and the dents in my armor.

Carl thenglomped me while crying "I w-was so worried! A-are you okay!? I did all I could to keep him in there, b-but he was so strong, and he hurt you guys so much... I'm so sorry!"

Sora looked him up and down, his eyes flashing briefly white before he relaxed,  disbanding his keyblades and his Final Form. "Nothing that you could control. The madness has left your heart."

The whole group noted a portal formed in front of them. At first, they were confused by the sudden appearance until a robot suited Emerl came out of the portal. "Phew, you guys can't believe the crazy things I saw when trying to find this place. So battle over or did you guys split the madness out of him, yet?" He commented before being tackled by Harmony who was pounding on his chest.

"You dummy I thought you were dead!" Harmony cried as she buried into his chest.

"Don't worry Harmony, I'm alright now, so  cheer up." Emerl softingly whispered while brushing her head before he felt a shiver.

I then heard the same dark laughter as I turned around, the shards of the Archive releasing a dark miasma, Raphael quickly noticed and snapped his fingers, dispersing the amulet into a fine mist that he then trapped in a jar. "It seems that I have retained my boosted power, I assume that my mad self can only drive others insane now..." He then looked to us and bowed "I apologize for my unforgivable behavior as of late, it was absolutely abhorrent."

"Don't sweat it, man! At least no one got killed." Emerl commented while sheepishly rubbing his back.

He then noticed Harmony and blushed "m-madam... I know this is rather sudden, but may I treat you to a meal sometime?"

Harmony felt her cheeks grew warm as she looked back at Emerl sternly who sighed, yet nodded. "Sure Raphael, I would love to have a date with you." she ended with a wink.

Raphael nodded shyly and offered her his arm,  she took it with little to no hesitation.  As they walked off, I dispelled my scythe and armor before removing the charm and handing it to Sora "I think you should have it, I don't think this kind of power suits me that well...

Sora nodded, taking the keychain in hand. A flash of light later, and he held a new blade. The keyblade   had a long, thin, silver shaft that looked almost like a metal spine with red tendrils weaving together to form the handle, and 4 scythe blades on the end in the shape of key teeth. "Mysterious Stalker," he muttered, giving a few practice swings. "Good for quick, mid-range strikes, not much magic affinity, and, wait..." He suddenly vanished, reappearing on the other side of the room. "...short distance teleporting. Nice."

Emerl quickly called Chaos on his Omochao. "Hey, I know you had that crush for Tikal, but she moved on." there was raging mumbling. "Apparently, it's a primordial Chaos god and no offense she kinda knew you as a brother/best friend." the raging conversation chatted loud enough to voice out "It's your fault this happened, asshole!" Emerl quickly hanged up before it grew worse as he said. "Well I pray this guy doesn't break her heart like the last guy."  

Michael laughed "Do not be ridiculous, I have never seen Raphael this smitten before, well... not since Alice... but this one is an immortal, so I do not think there should be any such problem."

Emerl felt happy to hear that before respond. "That's good because the last guy who dumped her did it because of Discord."  

Michael shrugged "Raphael is basically the grand master of the draqoneqqui, so he'd probably just ground him if he became a pest."

Emerl shrugged at the commented. "That is true. Anyway, I worried about the mare/tree/woman like my second mom." He changed into a sly tone to Michael. "So any chance of blackmail on the couple in the near future."  

Michael shook his head amusedly as I slugged Emerl in the back of the head, producing a loud clang "Don't be an ass."

"Ok I won't do anything on their first date." Emerl seems to have a built in watch as well since he seems to be rushing "Oh shit! Look at the time, need to babysit the colts. Jeremy make sure you don't open any of the boxes or she'll piranha them down her throat in seconds." The robot was about to head out until he remember something. "Oh yeah, Sora if you find James, please don't blast his partner since she's Chrysis. Anyway, could you guys give me a copy of your token?"  

I generated my new token and gave it to him, smiling "Maybe I can enjoy my honeymoon now?" Emerl felt like laughing before he shut up by my glare. "I am absolutely serious."

Sora summoned a kingdom Key keychain and tossed it over. "Don't worry," he said. "I may be new to the multiverse, but I know better than to judge another based only on what mine is like. But, if I may ask, who is Chrysis?"

"She is a changeling queen or basically a bug pony with morphing abilities." Emerl commented while an Omochao went to Sora and me. "So goodbye you two and Michael I expect her back before midnight." The robot then teleported back to his world.

"Changeling, huh?" muttered Sora. "I'm going to have to look out for that." He looked over to Jeremy and smiled. "Well, it's been interesting. If you ever need me again, call on my name and I'll be there." In a flash of light, he was gone.

I then slenderwalked all the treats into me and Pinkies bedroom, wrote a letter saying they were from me, and went back to bed...
