[ This was it, wasn’t it? The finale of their journey–the end of their fun, the denouement of everything. After everything they went through, after all their mistakes, after all the laughs, this was it? It was all over now. There was nothing left. Their siblings would snatch them back to the stars and resume their negligent, uncaring, and abusive behavior as they did before… Augh, and they hated this feeling too! The star child wasn't able to make any more internal comments because they had the waterworks turned on, and hard. They were able to pull themselves off the ground, trying to curl into a ball as best as they could while they tried wiping the waterfalls coming out but they wouldn't stop. ] “P-please… Ple-please…!!” [ they started to hyperventilate a bit as they rocked back and forth slowly but shakily. ] “I don’t w-wanna…”

Ever so slowly, the magician reached out and placed a hand on the child's shoulder. It'd be oh so easy for him to leave, never to show his face again, but running away from yet another upset he caused by merely existing wasn't going to solve anything. He, too, needed to be brave.

After a few moments, Dimentio pulled the child into a tight embrace, squeezing as hard as he could without crushing them. His body trembled as the tears bled through his clothes, but he refused to pull away.

It's what Kirby would've done.

[ They were so upset! Why couldn’t the Archivists leave them alone like they did before?! Why are they coming back now? Why not when it actually mattered?! Enzo couldn’t believe what they were hearing: nonsense coming out of the mouth of another Collector. With everything they have been through, they couldn’t take anyone being dishonest and their grip tightened with their irritation. Their freedom and happiness were at stake if they didn’t do anything now! ] “I hate liars! Don’t fib! Tell the truth!!” [ their red eyes burned ever brighter with their anger as the ground started to shake like tremors were overcoming the land. ] “I…hate you all! You and everybody else can beat it! Home sucked! You can’t make me go back–!” [ A bitter, painful ache came from their heart during their rant, getting it all off their shoulders after centuries of bottling it up; they swore the familiar sensation they experienced during a fight with a certain someone was felt once more. ] [ ‘I have to be brave…!’ they attempted to comfort themselves to continue on, but in reality, they were terrified. Absolutely trembling at the thought of going back to the place they hated the most. They hated the prison they were sealed for eons in, equally so as much as they hated their siblings. Their fear wasn’t even hidden as instantly, out of their control, the tears they tried to hold back came gushing out. Bawling loudly like the panicking little kid they were, they lost their hold on Dimentio and fell forward onto the ground. With the sobbing, the surroundings had finally calmed down because they couldn’t focus on anything but the crying. ] “D-don’t make me g-go back…! I-I-I…” [ These tears! They haven’t cried like this since… ]

Dimentio dropped to the ground as soon as he was released, overwhelmed with shock and confusion as he scrambled to catch his breath. He still had no clue what the kid was rambling on about, but the pain expressed was...awfully familiar.

"There's no one else, child...It's just me. My kind died out ages ago..." He didn't wish to be once again reminded of this unfortunate reality, especially not now. "If any of them harmed you in the past, I was never made aware of it...I'm sorry..."

Would it be safe to touch them? The jester was hesitant to take the risk after such immense power was demonstrated.

[ The one who had pulled the overly affectionate man off his friend was his parental figure, Donnovan. ] “Hey, you don’t wanna crush him to dust, now do you?” Awww… [ And there he went, whining like an actual dog with his own set of puppy eyes to boot. ] “Leon went missing from the facility, and Sonno here felt something was wrong, so we tracked him down here. Never thought he would be with you…” [ he mumbled that last part, still in a little disbelief himself. ] “What…was he doing?” [ He and the others saw when Leon was trying to give Dimentio a ‘champion time’, but that had been all they saw. There could’ve been more to it from their perspective–though little did they know that was really it. Never hurt to ask, however. ] [ Julius stayed in the back, ever fascinated and silenced with what occurred. What was that, exactly? He had many a question, but little to no answers. Maybe a good hit on the head did rile people back to normal, like water to the face, but what explained the former champion’s affliction? Did it have some sort of alluring status effect that was used on the jester? He had to know more, and so he stepped forward to pose his own question. ] “Do you mind if I examine you both for just a moment?” [ Leon was still holding his head, trying to lean against something as his equilibrium was trying to reset itself to normal since everything continued to spin. Instead, he was held upright by his headmaster who offered to help. He wasn't fully listening and only heard the last bit of what everyone was saying. ] “I…guess…?”

"All he did was pull me aside and tell me he was going to give me...something." Something that may or may not have been gay, which he still wasn't opposed to. There was no way he was going to admit such thoughts to Donnovan, though, lest he be teased to no end for it. "He didn't really elaborate on what, though..."

"And wait, why do I have to be examined? I wasn't the one who was bonked just now!" Dimentio knew Julius had his reasons for research, but this one eluded him completely. Who's going to be the one to break the news to him?

The jester placed a hand on his chin as he listened to the Slayer's plight, then gasped at the mention of a familiar place.

"Pop Star? Why, I happen to know someone who could help you get there in no time at all!" He turned to call out to his friend, "Hey, Elfili-!"

"...Elfie?"

But his friend strangely wasn't there. All he could see was the tub...that was until the water began to bubble. Just then, the blue rodent burst above the surface, struggling with a toy shark whose jaws had clamped down on his tail, while a toy octopus had planted itself on his face.

"AAAAHHHH!"

"Oh no! Elfie, keep still!" The magician made an attempt to hold the panicking creature in place and disable the animated toys with his magic, but the emanating psychic energy was somewhat thwarting his efforts. If he tried to pull them off physically, he'd risk getting soaked, and he did not want to think about what would become of him if that happened...

Continued from here! @dimensional-duo

---

The Slayer's thoughts about this place and how to approach inhabitants came to a halt when a voice called to him. Before him was a being-- Not human, and yet with manners of one.

Well, it would be a lie to say that he remained unfamiliar with encounters like this. He was well-traveled beyond his own homeworld, after all.

"Normally, I'd have VEGA or that high-and-mighty Hayden respond in my place. But I lost contact signal with my own ship at the moment." The Slayer spoke, his own helmet making his voice filtered.

"Ain't sugarcoating this one bit-- I'm lost. I was supposed to go to Popstar and visit some friends, but the star system I'm navigating had more unpredictability than anywhere else thus far."

"I'm fine with choosing a place to stay on my own, but if you got a better suggestion, I'm willing to hear it."

Dimentio had only recently learned of this grand library, and he wondered if he could find something to further enhance his illusionary skills. He was originally planning to spend his time there while in his usual disguise. However, the staff member at the front desk somehow saw through it the moment he stepped inside.

"There's no need for you to hide yourself like that," the spindly woman told him, "I can assure you that this place is relatively safe and no one will judge you...so long as you aren't too disruptive or trying to steal something, of course."

"Ah...I see..."

Too astonished to argue, he hesitantly cancelled his cover.

"There, now isn't that better?" she smiled, though this quickly changed into a ponderous expression, "Funny, I could've sworn I saw another young one with a rather similar appearance come in earlier today. You wouldn't happen to be-" The woman stopped herself, shaking her head while muttering, "No, I shouldn't be making assumptions...Anyway, the library will be closing in less than an hour, so do try not to wander around for too long!"

Another demighost? Here? That seemed a little too good to be true, but now the magician couldn't stop thinking about it. He slowly floated through the near infinite aisles in search of something interesting, and before long, he found himself in front of the children's section. Finally spotting a book that might be of use to him, Dimentio went to grab it from one of the nearby shelves, but as he did so, his gaze met that of the lone child.

In a mere instant, he was snatched and whisked away, unable to escape due to his hands being held taut with the rest of his body by an invisible force. What just happened? Why was he being yelled at by this...wait a second. Was this the one the librarian mentioned?

"Guys? Go back where? Who even are you?!!?"

@dimensional-duo | Closed Starter

[ Dozens and dozens of shelves curling and twisting every which way, including on the ceilings, and despite the change of their angle the books would sit there in spite of typical gravity laws. All filled to the brim with countless information and stories, just waiting to be picked up and enjoyed. This was one of Enzo’s favorite realms that they had recently discovered, a realm dedicated entirely to literature! They had all sorts of books, every genre, and they even had a special section for kids like them! A bookworm's worst and best dream, endless reading materials everywhere, all to indulge in. Most avid reading fans wouldn’t survive here, and the star child thanked themselves internally they were only here for the children’s storybooks. So many heroes, destined to seek out on their path; fated to defeat dragons, corrupt kings, and any other villain who dared stand in their path! It was an enchanting trope, wanting to be a hero yourself so you can be strong enough to go through anything quelling you. Maybe that’s why Enzo looked at such golden ambitions with total admiration and eagerness, yearning one day to be just like them. One day… ]

[ In the collector’s search for riveting tales in younger written works, they happened to glance curiously at others enjoying such a world themselves. Everyone was engrossed in every book they could get their hands on, and if not, they were searching for the right one to get engrossed in. It was a blissful world, easy to get lost centuries in–and they were yet again grateful they had the time to spare. Then, they saw someone familiar. Eerily familiar. A smaller person particularly caught their eyes, dressed in cultural attire that…no… They looked upward to see their face and…!

Memories started to come back the instant they looked at the stranger’s face–memories they didn’t want surfacing from the abyss. Memories they tried so desperately to shove back in, but they just kept bubbling up; getting dangerously close to the surface. Their temperament was naturally flexible and ever-changing, but this was different. They felt a certain kind of ire they hadn’t felt in years, not since… Since…

Would the best action to do be to run? No–no! Enzo has run enough, if they don’t confront the Archivists about this, it will only continue. They had to be courageous! Like the heroes they fantasized to be… This realm was a strictly neutral territory, and any acts of violence would get you banned eternally. They had to take this elsewhere. ]

[ A simple raise of the hand was all it took to indicate teleportation, the star child and accused both ripped out of the realm to some distance outside its doors. Purple and pink flora swayed in the natural breeze blowing through, but it was already whipping up harshly in sync with the child’s raging emotions. Nothing distracted them as they used their strong levitation magic onto the other to hold them in place, as tightly as possible–maybe too tight. ]

“You…!” [ their red eyes burned bright. ] “Why are you guys here?! I don’t want to go back!!”

[ Unbeknownst to those below, there were three figures high in the sky witnessing the entirety of this, all individually different from one another but similar in small aspects. The biggest one was a medium-haired older man cladded in dark armor and a fluffy cape, with horns, tail, wings, intriguing black markings, and vibrant purple eyes all over that couldn’t just be ignored easily. One of the younger men had medium-length hair as well, a formal outfit with an ascot, a dark blue-to-black color scheme that his hair even followed, and bright yellow eyes that were piercing and intimidating unlike Leon’s. The other younger man wore a unique coat that had a pure white and black palette like the rest of his outfit, long, slicked-back hair in a ponytail, and an unusual light brown in his eyes. The demon was the one keeping them all in the air with his wings, while the other humans were in his arms as each of them continued watching what was going on. ]

[ Seeing his eyes light up like that made Leon’s heart melt slightly, he just kept getting cuter and cuter by the second. It wasn’t Dimentio’s fault for not knowing of the intergalactic law, but someone did have to uphold said law. Sure, he wasn’t the champion anymore, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t still enforce this, right? He regretted what he was about to do to someone he cared about, but hopefully the jester would understand the need for this. Even if it could be perceived as some sick and twisted sense of justice and morality. A part of him wished for another fate… ]

[ All of them stared with a hardened glare, but the one with the longest hair stared the hardest, even starting to clench tight onto the person who held him. Something–wasn’t right about the way Leon acted–about the way he talked, moved, even held his posture… And something needed to be done about this before it became an even bigger issue. It was decided, then: he had to move in here, quick. ]

Looks like we have no choice. [ he spoke out, finally. ] Get me down there. “Be careful.” [ the other human added in. ] “Alright.” [ the demon nodded, before proceeding to let go of one of the humans and letting him descend. ]

[ He was unphased by the circumstances which would normally make him freak out and panic, but he was instead focused completely on what he had to do to save the people he loved. As the wind whipped his lengthy mane back and forth, a blinding light covered the center of his chest, where he pulled out this gigantic silver battle axe before the light vanished; donned with damage from wars centuries ago and a mysterious crystal that was similar to the one worn by the demon, he held the handle firm in his hands and changed his stance to an offensive one. ]

[ Right before the former champion could say anything back to the magician, he looked up above to see what was coming upon him. Those figures, Leon and Dimentio both recognized them all–Donnovan, Julius, and Sonno? And why was Sonno falling from the sky? However, before any more questions could be asked, Sonno’s axe had met right on Leon’s forehead–but instead of hitting him with the blade of the axe, he was hit with the flat side of it; transforming it into a blunt weapon, roughly. Right before this happened, Donnovan had flown down fast enough to grab onto Sonno by the waist to stop him from crashing into the earth with Leon underneath him. ]

[ And once the purple-haired man got bonked on the head, it felt like everything was refreshed, like the reset button had been pressed. He couldn’t remember much about what happened, only holding his head in pain from the sudden recovery from the weird status ailment he was previously suffering from. ] [ When he was set down on the ground, Sonno didn’t hesitate to scramble over to the man he just hit on the head. ] Quick, Leon, what’s your favorite color?! [ he asked a somewhat random question to make sure it worked properly the first time. ] “Wh-what?” [ Leon couldn’t understand what was going on or what happened, and he especially didn’t understand the question thrown at his face. ] Ah, it’s you! [ The shorter man exclaimed out of relief and joy, an assortment of stars in his widened eyes as he wrapped his strong arms around the other and squeezed the life out of him. ] You’re back!

[ One could hear the pressure releasing from his bones, making a sharp and prominent crack–but it did feel like they were really breaking with how hard he was being embraced. ] “M-my back–!” [ Leon was strong, one of the strongest muses naturally, for his size and build, but still having someone as buff as his mun strangle him like that still was painful. ] [ After Sonno was done murdering his muse with affection, he then turned around and rushed over to Dimentio to get another victim. ] Are you okay? [ He then hugged his friend, tight and intense as well, wanting to tear up with how scary the situation was to him. ] Nothing happened, right? R-right–? [ he almost whimpered like a dog. ]

Well this was quite a shock to the system. Before the demighost could fall victim to any sort of laws, Leon had fallen victim to a sporadic game of whack-a-mole. Not only that, but the mun and his family had randomly appeared as well.

And now Dimentio was being wrung like a magic-soaked sponge.

"Sonno, what are you talking about?" he choked out, "I-I'm fine!"

After he was released, the jester brushed himself off.

"Nothing happened that was negative...I don't think..." He would likely have to ponder over what he just experienced later. "What are you guys doing here, anyway?"

[ A single laugh broke through the facade he was putting up for appearances, which soon smoothened out along with his expression. ‘Aww, he’s too cute…’ Leon thought to himself for a moment. ]

[ Next, a crooked smirk bent his mouth, out of excitement, actually, ] “What’s ever so wrong, Dimmy, my dear friend?” [ as a gentle hand reached out to caress the jester’s cheek. With such paralyzing golden eyes like his, it was no wonder why many fell under its spell, ] “I just want you to have a Champion Time, that’s all…~” [ but, perhaps not many could easily trust a smile that didn’t reach one’s eyes. ]

...!!!

Was he dreaming? Did Dimentio get slammed into the ground and fall unconscious? Was he reading the room correctly, or was this nothing but a cruel joke?

His mind was racing to comprehend what was unfolding before him. This man, he...the jester couldn't help but find Leon attractive, from his build to his cheery nature. Hell, he even had a similar purple and yellow color scheme going up top that suited him nicely! However, he never expected such an esteemed warrior to take interest in him like this...and he didn't feel repulsed by the idea, either.

"...Leon?"

His monochrome cheeks grew flushed from a hand's soft touch. What was he getting himself into?!!?

[expvrgction] Now this wasn't the world the Doom Slayer wanted to go to, but at least the environment was familiar enough for him.

He wasn't too far from the nearest settlement, but inhabitants there are alien to him. At least he could see some Waddle Dees going about their day, some enjoying life on the beach, but the others? None whom he had met before.

The armored man stood there silently, unsure if it would be wise to approach these beings-- He wasn't the most social man nowadays, couple that with the thought of there being those protective of their land.

But there were a lot of things he needed to know.

(big boi doomguy @ elfilin and dimentio!)

At first, the waddle dees seemed blissfully unaware of the foreign soldier's presence. However, over time, they started eyeing him curiously and whispering to each other. Some of the wild beasts also watched, hidden within the greenery. It was difficult to tell if any of them knew of him from Dream Land, but at least they didn't look apprehensive (yet).

The two unrecognizable beings in question appeared to be sitting in the grass, a large tub of water in front of them. The fuzzier one watched as the more colorful one tied a string to a small branch. Then, a magnet was attached to the other end of the line.

"Alright, now let's see if I can make this work..."

Scattered about was a collection of tiny fish-shaped metal toys. The jester picked one up, stared at it intently, and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the toy began to violently wriggle in his hand, as though it were a real aquatic creature, and slipped into the tub with a splash! He then proceeded to do the same with the other toys until they were all swimming about in the tub, a makeshift miniature pond. It was a fairly simple animation spell, but effective for what it was needed for.

"There you go, Elfie! Now you can finally have your own fishing fun!"

"Whoaaa! This is so cool! Thank you~!"

The rodent fluttered about like an ecstatic butterfly before taking the pretend rod and practicing his casting. It was only then that his friend noticed the Doom Slayer standing in the distance. He froze, his smile fading as he tried to determine if they were in danger or not. That armor and weaponry looked...pretty threatening...

"Hello?" he called out, cautiously floating forward, "...Can I help you?"

#rift discovery || ic #waddle dee post office || ask #expvrgction #doomguy #most of the real fish are too large for elfilin to catch #even the smallest blippers might be too large tbh #i guess he could just use his psychic powers but that's not fun-

“A Champion Time, silly!” [ The former champion placed a hand on Dimentio’s back and gave it a benign pat or three. ] “You haven’t been to Galar much, right? You probably don’t know what I’m talking about, but don't worry about it, I’ll teach you.” [ Was that a threat, Leon? It was hard to say, especially with the typical obliviousness in his attitude. ] “After all, it is illegal everywhere to NOT have a Champion Time!” [ he sparkled innocently. ] “Even here!”

While it was true that Dimentio wasn't familiar with Galar, he was familiar with what kind of fighting made Leon a champion. That said, what kind of jurisdiction did Galar have over countless dimensions and universes? Why was one man allowed to have such massive power in the first place?

And why didn't the jester just warp out of the way when he had the chance?

"Ah, well," he raised his hands, as he had a badass over there, "I-I'm afraid I'm not equipped for your style of battle at the moment, aha ha! You work with teams, and I would need one of my own, right?"

"...Right?"

Please don't suplex him.

[ Squishing his face like the jester really was a plushie of some kind, he was satisfied after a few good squeaks for some reason and let go. ] “Yep, you’re Dimentio! I’m here for several reasons: one, I’m lost and I don’t know where to go, Arceus help me get back home,” [ he said that first bit under his breath, embarrassed to even mention it. ] “and two, is it true? I heard you haven’t had a Champion Time yet!" [ Leon tried to smile simply at the magician like nothing was wrong. ] "Huh, why don’t I fix that for you…?”

How the fuck does a regular human get so lost that they end up in the goddamn city ruins of Natural Plains??? Where was Leon even trying to go?!!? He should be thankful no one lives in the structure he smashed through!

"A...A what now?"

Doesn’t he reserve that phrase for battles...?. Oh dear, pray that this magician doesn’t get obliterated by Galarian zoomies.
