Gaming Tournament! (Part 2 - Finale)

(With Shibuto eliminated and Team Magachi down to three, team Magachi was battling Koyasu and her team as Xinera was dealing with a two on one handicap. Meanwhile, Kazuya was battling Koyasu herself as she played as the God of War, Ares in the game against Kazuya's Khomat. As the battle continued to go on, Hinami's battle was finished for she set a record for longest ongoing combo.)

"P.A System: Crystalline (Human), RETIRED. Winner: Hinami Magachi!"
"Hinami: That's how you do it!"
"Koyasu: Come on crew!! Give it all you got!"
"Kazuya: Xinera! Don't forget to time your ultimate!"

(As Xinera remembered to use Lucifer's ultimate attack against in-game Ember Mist Lotus and in-game Assassin Gaito, Xinera begins to risk it all in one strategy and attack Lotus first which in-game Gaito charged his sword for the Sinner's Den ultimate. While Xinera battles Lotus, the ultimate was completely for in-game Gaito as the ultimate was immediately cancelled out by Xinera using Lucifer's Chaos Barrier which shatters Lotus and Gaito's stamina gauge and allowed Xinera to combo and finish in-game Lotus and in-game Gaito in one blow, resulting in a double brutality after ending the match with (Bowling Chaos)."

"P.A System: Lotus Kenhiro (Ember Mist), RETIRED. And Gaito Tamarei (Assassin), RETIRED. Winner: Xinera Magachi!"

"Xinera: Good game boys!"

(As Xinera and the two exchanged in good sportsmanship, Kazuya continued to battle Koyasu who was playing as Trample Horn with the ability to activate his Slaughtering Mode.)

"Rumi: I see you're very skilled than I thought... But this match ends!"

(As Koyasu was then more confident than before, she activated in-game Trample Horn's Russian Manslaughterer Mode which buffed him with 5 second invincibility for every successful block, increased super attack damage and faster speed. As Kazuya's in-game Khomat was at the red bar of health and is the same for Rumi with in-game Trample Horn, he'd then time his attacks carefully with Khomat while timing for openings.)

"In-game Trample Horn: I CRUSH YOU, PUNY FOOL!"

(As Trample Horn storms towards in-game Khomat and shatters his block, Khomat was then barraged by punches with the strength and speed of runaway freight trains then blasted into the air by his horn, slammed back down to the ground by a tornado right hook then double stomped onto the back which created a tremoring quake and brings Khomat down to 5% of health as Kazuya then try hards with Khomat and goes Full Power once again as in-game Khomat then vanishes with instant teleportation then blasts in-game Trample Horn directly at it's weakest point to cancel his Manslaughter Mode as Kazuya then combos Trample Horn with heavy attacks then follows up with a powerful tornado kick from Khomat as the game then yells through the speakers:)

"P.A System: EXECUTE!"

(As Kazuya then typed in a finishing code, Khomat then summons Gaito and Nathanial as two different spirts and traps Trample Horn in a black cocoon of darkness, opening the white gate first, the black gate second and the golden gate third. As the light then blasts Trample Horn, by the speed of light, Trample Horn was slashed 15,000 times by the three lights and explodes the domain, revealing the soulless and defeated Trample Horn.)

"Khomat: Next time, know your place... Insufferable fool."

(As Khomat delivered a demonic glare with a devious smirk, the match was then decided.)

"P.A System: Trample Horn, RETIRED. Winner: Kazuya Magachi! Team Magachi advances to the finals!"
"Kazuya: Well.. that's that..."
"Rumi: Yeah... I almost had you, Magachi..."
"Kazuya: You almost did, I won't lie."

(The two then chuckled with a smile as Koyasu then hands him a slip of paper and a kiss on the cheek as both Koyasu's team and the Magachi's were in shock.)

"Rumi: See you around, Kazuya..~! Next time we fight, I'll win!"
"Kazuya: I look forward to it, Koyasu!"
"Xinera: We did it guys...!"
"Hinami: Finals here we come!"

(As Team Magachi celebrated their victory, a shadowy cloaked figure then vanishes from Xinera's eyes as she noticed something was incredibly off. Back at the hotel, the entire Magachi family and their friends celebrated their push to the finals with a party as clones of Gaito were signing autographs for the many fans that were excited to meet him while the real Gaito was with his wives, family and friends. Meanwhile, Sawano and Azumi was out on a continuous date, Shibuto and Onara were talking to each other alone while away from the party and Xinera locates Gaito to speak to him privately.)

"Xinera: Honey, can we talk?"
"Gaito: Sure babe, one second."

(Gaito then swallows whole an entire hoagie basket and exhales out of relief.)

"Gaito: Okay lets go."

(Xinera and Gaito then steps away from the crowd and the civilians to speak privately.)

"Xinera: Gaito, ever since we arrived, some weird negative presence has been leaking in the atmosphere. As if, life is slowly dying out."
"Gaito: ...So I'm not the only one who noticed it."
"Xinera: Any ideas who or what it could be?"
"Gaito: I have a few, but I can't be sure."
"Xinera: Could it be Knitemare?"
"Gaito: Not him. His presence is a little weaker than from when he was first alive."
"Xinera: What about Khomat?"
"Gaito: ...Come to think of it, he's been quiet recently."

(Gaito then tries to contact Khomat who then answers immediately but was waking up from his nap a little irritated.)

"Khomat: This.. better be quick. I was in the middle of a great dream."
"Gaito: I'll cut the small talk then, do you sense the energy near us?"
"Khomat: ...mm.. Oh yeah. I sense it..."
"Gaito: I have three guesses on who it could be, but the third guess.."
"Khomat: Don't need to say anymore. He's been sealed away far far far too long, it wouldn't be possible for him to escape unless you're gone. But what's bugging me, that time servant of yours has been absent lately. Goxius if I remember correctly."
"Gaito: Goxius..? Why is that name famil-"

(Gaito suddenly opens his eyes at the realization something horribly bad is happening to the timeline.)

"Khomat: Now I see what's going on. Time's all fucked up and Goxius is sacrificing as much as he can to fix the timelines."
"Gaito: Oh. shit... How the fuck did I almost forget who Goxius was...?!"
"Xinera: Gaito...?"
"Gaito: Honey, listen to me as I tell you this. Time is so fucked up, it's slowly reversing back into nothing but the abyss."
"Xinera: How is this possible...?"
"Gaito: Think about it. The amount of times this timeline has reset, the Dimensional Resets done by Knitemare, the times me and Sawano broke reality during our fights and somehow was restored...?!"
"Kazuya: You also left out the people of the past."

(The three then noticed Kazuya who listened in on everything.)

"Kazuya: Before you scold me Gaito, I sensed the negative energy too. But it's not just that that's going on, watch this. Call Choryrth."

(Kazuya's communication portal would've immediately shut down saying the call has failed.)

"Gaito: The hell? Maybe he's busy..?"
"Kazuya: Nope nope, watch this. Call Master Lotus."

(Again, the communication portal would shutdown, saying the call has ended as Gaito immediately felt anxious.)

"Gaito: Lotus isn't responding?! He'd always answer his calls..!"
"Khomat: It's worse than I thought. Gaito, the negative energy presence, Goxius is dying and the timeline is slowing going backwards yet everything is still in place. I don't think helping Ikehara is possible in five months now. You know who's coming back, right?"
"Gaito: ...Death."

(As Xinera and Kazuya was suddenly jumpy at the name, Kazuya then backed away as he didn't understand who Death truly was.)

"Khomat: This is urgent, whenever this tournament ends Gaito, you need to take your family and friends to the Time Realm, immediately. No other realm will save you outside of it."
"Gaito: How the hell do you know this..?"
"Khomat: You're talking to someone who's battled Death at full power and managed to almost die before he retreated. Don't forget Gaito, he's defeated you once before."
"Xinera & Kazuya: ..!!!"
"Kazuya (Thinking): Wait... Someone who's definitely beaten Khomat at Full Power and Gaito..?!"

(Kazuya's stomach suddenly became tight as he immediately felt sick.)

"Kazuya (Aloud): G-Gaito... We can win thought.. Right..?"
"Gaito: ..."
"Kazuya: Right...?! D-Dad...?"
"Gaito: ...Kazuya. If we can't defeat Death and fix the timeline, everyone dies. Unfortunately, once this tournament is over, its time to move."
"Kazuya: ...What do you mean...?"
"Gaito: ...Until further notice, we're all moving to the Time Realm. We'll be safer there."
"Kazuya: Gaito... We can't win.. can't we...?"
"Gaito: ..."
"Kazuya: GAITO..!"
"Gaito: At the strength everyone is, no. Its time to cut the relaxations short and focus on training once again."
"Kazuya: ...How do you plan to tell everyone else?"
"Gaito: I don't. No one does."
"Kazuya: But how-"
"Gaito: Did you forget who your father has connections to?"
"Kazuya: What are you going to do then..?"
"Gaito: Go focus on the tournament, the final round is soon. I will be back and as for you Khomat, I need you to come with me."
"Khomat: Ugh... Fine."
"Gaito: Kazuya. Under no circumstances you tell anyone or the consequences are dire."

(Kazuya then nodded his head without a response as Gaito then warped to the Beast Realm to collect Khomat as Xinera and Kazuya returned to the tournament stage as they were preparing for the finals with Hinami.)

"Hinami: Here we are guys..! The finals of the tournament!"
"Kazuya: Y-Yeah... we got this..!"
"Xinera: Of course we do!"
"Shibuto: You got this guys!!!"

(As Shibuto was cheering them on in the background, Kazuya and his team noticed the cloaked individual selecting his played character, Milo The Clown as the three were prepared to face him but noticed there was no team with him.)

"Xinera: Excuse me, referee! Does he not have a team?"
"Referee: He did have a team but they all were eliminated during the third round, he's all his team has left."
"Hinami: He might be a seasoned pro.."
"Kazuya: Just don't get distracted guys, we can't lose this!"
"Referee: Ready...?"

(As silence filled the room, the game then counted down to three as the P.A system then announces at the finishing count:)

"P.A System: LET'S GO TO BATTLE!"

(As the cloaked individual was fighting as Milo The Clown, Kazuya decides to fight Milo first who was then immediately trapped in Milo's ongoing attack (Barrel Hammer Tornado) as in-game Khomat losses a medium percentage of his health until in-game Sawano breaks Milo's ongoing super attack and was targeted instead as Hinami attempts her ongoing combo as last time but failed at the attempt for the player then was heavily attacked by Milo's 2nd super attack (Pie Storm) which explodes if the pies stick onto the character as in-game Sawano was immediately on the orange health bar while in-game Lucifer significantly battles Milo without taking damage and damaging him instead. Fans in the audience were riled in participation for who could win the finals of the tournament.)

"Announcer: WOW! LOOK AT THESE FOUR GO ON IN THE GAME! It seems like Team Magachi's in trouble now!!"

(As the match continued to go on for almost ten minutes, Hinami was the first to fall as in-game Sawano has fallen to Milo's Ultimate Attack (Circus Town Domain), Kazuya and Xinera then combines their attacks and strategies to battle in-game Milo smarter, not harder.)

"Hinami: I'm sorry guys.. I fell for the domain..!"
"Xinera: It's alright, we got to fight smarter, this mysterious person is an actual pro..!"

(As Xinera was charging for a full powered Chaos beam, in-game Khomat manages to blast Milo with a curse that forbid him from moving for five seconds along with a movement slowdown as in-game Lucifer blasts the (Chaos Beam) which lowers Milo's health indefinitely to the red bar as he then targets Lucifer purposely and connects with another Barrel Hammer Tornado special attack while ending the combo with a powerful punch to the gut which launches in-game Lucifer out of the map and into the endless abyss as Xinera was eliminated too. As the fighting was now down to Khomat and Milo, the two exchanged in ongoing combos, counters, special attacks and power enhancers left and right as Kazuya then blocks an ongoing barrage of exploding pies as it was a distraction for in-game Milo to land a decisive game-ending finish until Khomat's health bar shoots back up to 5%, activating his hidden passive (King Of The Curse) which allowed him 10 second invincibility to all ultimate and special attacks. As Kazuya then strikes first by shatter Milo's stamina gauge, Khomat then performs a 30-hit combo followed by a Brutal Finish as Khomat then slashes Milo in half with a picture-perfect uppercut. As the divided in-game Milo falls to the ground, the tournament was decided.)

"P.A System: Milo The Clown, RETIRED. Winners of the P:I S.A.W Tournament, Team Magachi!"

(As Kazuya was immediately sweating at the fact he almost lost, he then was of ease knowing he and his team won for he was the sole survivor. Xinera, Hinami and Shibuto comes to congratulate him for winning.)

"Hinami: I knew you could do it!"
"Xinera: When did you know Khomat could do that?!"
"Kazuya: I did a lot of research on the game... And the playable characters. They may have overpowered abilities and all but what you want to be careful with is the passives they have. Khomat's passive only allows him 10 seconds of invincibility once he losses his health completely the first time. That's when I took the chance to fight back harder."
"???: You my friend have slain me well... In that case, I will reveal myself..."

(The cloaked player then revealed himself as Milo The Clown the entire time as he laughed out of the fun he had and surprised everyone else.)

"Shibuto: Milo The Clown?!"
"Milo: That's right! I've bought this game long long ago and won competition after competition for years! Never have I seen the day one of Gaito's children would defeat me... You have pure guts kid!"
"Kazuya: I honestly didn't expect I'd meet Milo The Clown in person... It's an honor, Milo."
"Milo: HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The pleasure is all mine, champ!"

(As Kazuya and his team along with Milo celebrated Kazuya's victory, Gaito and Khomat were inside the Plane of Arcanedia where Khomat and Njore now meets face to face.)

"Njore: This isn't good. Death's on his way back hm? Its been six hundred billion light years ago since he was sealed away."
"Gaito: And the timeline's fucked up completely..."
"Khomat: And for some weird reason, we can't contact anyone but the three of us and the realm leaders."
"Gaito: You can contact the others?"
"Khomat: You're not the only person affected by this, Dynnael and Fuchibuto are aware of the issue, Fuchibuto can't reach Ankoku and Dynnael can't reach his own son. On top of that, warping with your powers doesn't work for certain people now."
"Gaito: How the hell did it get this bad...?!"
"Njore: My power alone isn't enough to fix this... Gaito, I'll transfer everyone to the Time Realm for you. But in the meantime, we're no longer in a time of peace, this... Is our final battle."
"Khomat: We walk out winners or we face the wrath of Death once again."
"Gaito: I will prove Death can be beaten, even if I have to do it myself."

(Along with the Plane of Arcanedia, the dimensions, realms and everything inside and around it immediately shakes and begins to accelerate faster into the past but then stops. Meanwhile on Earth, the Anti-Realm portal has reopened once again which has civilians in constant shock and fear that the Anti-Gods are back. Inside the Void Realm, the Knitemare Clones from the Knitemare's King Of The Hill game returns and this time wreaks havoc on the realm as Onara immediately shoots out of the palace and begins to fight. In the Dragon Realm, the peaceful and repopulated race of dragons were immediately invaded by rouge Beasts of the Beast Realm as Dynnael despite his age began to battle for the sake of saving his race. In Olympus, an evil revenant side of Nathanial has returned with seven of the strongest Norse Gods from another timeline then begins to battle the Olympus protectors. In Hell, Cerberus and Hinami's executives were immediately ambushed by a pissed off revenant of Satan and Lucifer who were looking for Hinami mostly. As Gaito senses the amount of danger in all realms, he was then anxious of the fact they were never too late, the fighting has already started.)

"Gaito: No... NO... NO!"
"Khomat: Gaito! Get a hold of yourself...! We need to hurry back now..!"
"Njore: Everyone has been transported but the humans-"
"Gaito: ...Leave them, there are brave warriors who will save any human possible. Earth can be saved separately but we need all forces to fight Death..!"
"Khomat: We need to divide and conquer, I'll defend my realm for as much as I can but you need to find the rest of your family and friends in the other timelines, FAST."
"Njore: I'll have to focus on stabilizing the timeline, me and the Elder Guardians can handle it."
"Gaito: Thanks, But one last thing. I want to make a deal."
"Njore: What's the deal?"

(Gaito would tell Njore the deal as the two then shook hands in agreement.)

"Gaito: Thank you, Njore. Come on Khomat!"

(As the two vanishes quickly, Njore and the Elder Guardians got to work while meanwhile in the lowest pit of hell at the center of Hell's core, a smooth whistling was heard along with metal scraping as the entrance to Hell's core was locked from the outside. After a powerful blast of fire and enough energy, a dark and powerful mist rises out of the pit of Hell's core and after choosing it's physical form, the cloaked humanoid with the body physique of Sawano and the presence of Gaito and ruined/slashed clothes removed his hood and noticed Hell's executives battling the revenant Hades and Lucifer as he then swings a double ended spear which is two chain-linked swords as he delivered a devious smirk at Hell's executive warriors and begins to speak to his revenants.)

"???: So there is no Sawano? No Azumi or no Hinami? Unfortunate... Hades, you may kill the weaking but save Cerberus for you to control once again."
"Revenant Hades: ..."

(As Revenant Hades does not say a word, he'd do what he was told and kills Hell's warriors, including the Umezaki generals and their armies who is currently storming to fight the two until being slain by Hades in moments. As one of the surviving generals then begs for his life, the mysterious leader then grips him by his hair and lifts him to his feet then by a single touch of a finger, the general dies, collapsed on the ground as the mysterious monster then gives the two their next order.)

"Death: Go to the next realm and kill who dares to fight against us. Let them know... But leave Sawano and Gaito to me, for their DEATHS is imminent."

(As the powerful individual smiles evilly, he was revealed to be Death Incarnate as he was targeting Sawano and Gaito specifically.)

"Death: It's time to recollect some overdue souls..."
