ALTERRUNE (Team Night!)

@alterrune / alterrune.tumblr.com

A blog that serves as an askblog for "Altering the Outcome", my Henry Stickmin fanstory (inspired by other HS fanmade askblogs, with Ending the Cycle being my main inspiration). Also is my personal blog at times.

ALTERING THE OUTCOME: BIO CARDS, ACHIEVEMENTS, ETC.

COLLECTED BIO CARDS:

๐Ÿ”บ Alterrune (TOPPAT) - One of the first recruits Henry and Ellie grabbed due to his combat prowess. His real name is Kyle "Alterrune" Cross, but he hasn't revealed that to anyone else in the clan (other than his fellow higher-ups), and he doesn't intend on telling them anytime soon. The clan knows that he's still a force to be reckoned with, though.

๐Ÿ’œ Violet Cilantro Wolfsbane (SOLO/TOPPAT) - A former member of the CCC, and a cousin of Alter. Wields a heavy-duty lead sword aptly named "Leadhead" that can cut through any material, and it also has electrical-based powers that allow her sword to absorb any electrical energy and empower her abilities even further...but she tends to hide these abilities from anyone who hasn't earned her trust yet.

๐Ÿ”ต Henry Banker Stickmin (TOPPAT) - The current leader of the Toppat Clan. He's already completed his own mission, thank you very much, but he's still more than willing to help Alter complete his mission.

๐Ÿ’• Ellie Thorne Rose (TOPPAT) - Henry's Right Hand Lady. She's been married to Henry for about a year since the station launched, and although she hasn't been fighting alonside Henry like she used to since then, she still knows how to whack someone hard with a road sign.

โœ๐Ÿผ IRL!Alterrune (N/A) - Kyle Micheal Ryan Gibbons, the Canadian-born creator of both the Altering the Outcome askblog and its' story, has finally joined the game himself! He has no ties to any of the major factions, as he is normally behind the computer monitor, not on it. He's still a force to be reckoned with, though, no matter which side of the monitor he's on.

๐ŸŽฉ Reginald Copperbottom (TOPPAT) - The previous leader of the Toppats. He once considered betraying Henry, but after Henry put himself on the line to save the Toppat Clan, he now knows the clan is in good hands with him.

๐Ÿ›  Right Hand Man Reborn (TOPPAT) - After getting beat up by Henry in the Airship, he gained some new enhancements, and powerful ones at that. He's helped Reginald and Alter make some quick escapes.

๐Ÿ Carol Crystal Cross (TOPPAT) - Alterrune's fashionable green and black-clad mother. She's one woman that you don't wanna cross, which many of the Toppats have learnt the hard way. She also has her own personal army of white mice at her disposal, which have proven to be advantageous to both her and her fellow clan members.

๐Ÿ›ก Clarence Cross (TOPPAT) - Alter's deceased father. He was captured by the Wall and killed by Dmitri when Alter was a kid, but has now, after 13 years, come back to the family as a ghost. When he was still alive, he was a loving and caring father to Alter, and he always had a genuine smile on his face, taking care of Alter whenever Carol couldn't. Now a ghost, he's back to doing all those things, now with ghostly abilites atop that.

๐Ÿฅผ Dr. Vinschpinsilstien (TOPPAT) - After losing her boat to the government, Henry and Ellie offered her a job as the Toppat's lead medic, which she gladly took. She knows how to quickly and thouroughly treat every wound the Toppats may come across. Most of the Toppats call her "Dr. V", as her full last name is incredibly hard to pronounce and spell.

๐Ÿš Charles Chandler Calvin (GOV'T) - The government's top pilot, and one of Galeforce's best recruits. He has a bit of a personal vendetta against the Toppats for taking Henry, and can be a bit hyperactive at times, but he can still hold his own in a fight.

๐Ÿ…General Galeforce (GOV'T) - Even though the Toppat raid backfired hilariously, his discovery of the Alter Rune didn't, which led to a massive promotion. He's a gentle giant, but mess with him and you'll be scrubbing his entire quarters with only a toothbrush.

๐ŸŽ– Commander Galeforce (GOV'T) - After the Alter Rune raid backfired, he was discharged honorably from the army. One of his higher-ups managed to land him a spot as one of the head commanders of the FBI, and now is known as Commander Galeforce. He doesn't mind still being called General, though.

โ„๏ธ Dmitri Johannes Petrov (WALL) - Henry ruined his reputation and caused him to take a stop sign to the face, causing him to talk with a lisp now. He'll take out anybody who tries to get in the way of him killing Henry, and without any hesitation.

๐ŸŒจ Dmitri Johannes Petrov Reborn (WALL) - After being shot back in the temple, the Wall staff was able to revive him and give him some cybernetic upgrades similar to RHM's. He now has a personal vendetta against both Henry and Alter.

๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ Grigori Olyat (WALL) - His arms were in casts for weeks after he got hit by one of The Wall's own trucks, but he eventually healed up, despite how slow that process was. He and Dmitri have planned to kill Stickmin for a very long time...

๐Ÿฆพ Grigori Olyat Reborn (WALL) - Even though he took a more fatal bullet than Dmitri did back in the temple, Dmitri was able to revive his most trusted aide, at the cost of Grigori's head being the only non-robotic part of his body left. Now with a robotic body with a ton of functions, he's just as dangerous as Dmitri is.

๐Ÿชƒ Samuel Mundy (SOLO) - He's been contracted for the police and government before, but has been off-duty ever since the Toppats went into orbit. That doesn't mean he's no longer using his Sniper Rifle, though, he's still got a few headshots left in him.

โ›“ Dave Panpa (TOPPAT) - He was locked in the Toppat's brig for two years until he decided to join the Toppat Clan to free himself. He's never been more proud of that choice.

๐Ÿ”ซ Rupert Price (TOPPAT) - After being reunited with his old partner, Dave, he officially quit the government and joined him in the Toppat Clan. He's never actually liked the government, to be honest.

๐Ÿ’Ÿ Jacob Wolfsbane (SOLO) - Violet's incredibly shy brother. While he's grown as a person with the help of his older sister, he still has his moments of cowardice. Violet and the rest of the team always help him overcome those obstacles, though.

๐Ÿฆผ Drake Wolfsbane (SOLO) - Violet's father. He's been wheelchair-bound for his entire life, having no feeling in his legs at all. That didn't stop him from becoming a botanist and teaching a young Violet all his tips and tricks.

๐ŸŒ‚ Clair Cross (SOLO) - Carol's sister, and Violet's mother. Personality-wise, she's the opposite of Carol. She's a very gentle woman, and only goes on the offense to protect her family.

๐Ÿ”ท Nicholas Cross (TOPPAT) - Alterrune's navy blue-clad older brother, codename "Zinger". He's a gentle giant, but mess with him or his brothers and you'll wish you were never born.

๐ŸŸก Justin Cross (TOPPAT) - Alterrune's mustard yellow-clad younger brother, codename "Atlas". He's quite hyper for being a year younger than Alter is, and tends to be unpredictable (which works in his favor during battles with the Toppat clan)!

๐Ÿ’ž Jacob Rose (TOPPAT) - Ellie's brother, whom unfortunately lost his life from one of the enemy factions planting a bomb near him. Despite resurfacing as a ghost, he's still got his snarky yet sincere personality he had when he was alive.

๐Ÿ˜ˆ Terence Suave (TOPPAT) - The Toppat Clan's leader before Reginald came in. He is hated across the board, he always did things for his own selfish gain, never listening to anyone in the Clan who objected to him.

๐Ÿšœ Texas Jack (SOLO) - The Texan owner and bartender of the tavern just down the road from the Wall. His real name is Jackson Cooper, and he considers trading the heat of Texas for the Russian blizzards to be the best decision he ever made for his buisiness, as he and his tavern are more popular here than they ever were back home.

๐Ÿ’‰ Corporal Earl Grey (GEOGRAM) - The head soldier of the GEOGRAM army, and the overseer of all the tests that GEOGRAM runs on the ColorStreak Battalion's beast forms. He always carries a thermos of chilled earl grey tea on him to stay hydrated.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Laurence Blazerflame Burnway (GEOGRAM) - A man who has suffered a lot, but he has finally turned his life around (with help from Kyle, of course) and finally feels at home.

๐ŸŽ€ Kynn Libitina Lee/Lily Ribbonrunner Burnway (GEOGRAM) - The younger sister of Laurence Burnway and daughter of Aaron Schaffer, Lily died after being accidentally shot by Laurence, but through Hack!Anon's help, Lily was brought back as Kynn Lee. Now Laurence, Lily, and Aaron are finally back together again as a family, and Lily is the head ass-kicker of it.

๐Ÿง€ Fredrick Muenster (TOPPAT) - The only Toppat who has a top hat made of edible material. He does enjoy having a snack available on his head at any time, but lately, he's been having trouble keeping his cheesy hats fresh.

๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŽค Matilda Ivy (TOPPAT) - An irish Toppat member with a crazy pink hairdo that everyone agrees is the best out of the whole clan. She's been known to get drunk off of Irish whiskey, which normally leads to someone getting stabbed with a broken bottle.

๐Ÿงน The Witch (TOPPAT) - The Toppat's original herbalist, and currently learning new ways to use herbal materials from Violet Wolfsbane. She's one of the only members of the clan who wears a hat other than the standard top hat.

๐Ÿ’Ž Gene Fredrickson (TOPPAT) - Originally a mayoral figure, he was found to have committed voter fraud shortly after Henry stole the Tunisian Diamond. He's had to grow accustomed to working with Henry, though it's still awkward for both parties.

๐Ÿš‚ Mr. MacBeth (TOPPAT) - The man in charge of the Toppat Clan's cargo train operations. He loves his job, and hates being seperated from being on the rails. He's gotten used to being compared to an ape since the station launched.

๐Ÿ’ธ Stu Pendles (TOPPAT) - An unfortunate higher-up who still hasn't paid a debt he owes Carol Cross yet. It's not like he isn't trying, he simply doesn't have an easy way of getting the money!

๐Ÿ›ฐ Burt Curtis (TOPPAT) - The Toppat Clan Orbital Station's overseer. He always wears a pair of orange headphones with his top hat for easy message relaying. He's not the biggest fan of his job (it can get pretty monotonous at times), but the Toppat Clan pays nice, so he doesn't mind doing it.

What are your thoughts on the song โ€œThrow Away Your Maskโ€?

I absolutely love this song, because for me, while many people interpret the song as being told directly from Marukiโ€™s Perspective, it can also be interpreted from The Phantom Thieves as well.

Maruki: "I can make a future for you all that you don't have to suffer anymore."

The Phantom Thieves: "You don't have to go through extreme measures for everyone to be happy."

Avatar

That song?

You mean the song that gave me an emotional kick in the balls? The song that made me genuinely feel bad for Dr. Maruki? The song that made made the entire fight feel like a desperate last resort the poor guy absolutely didn't want to do?

Yeah. I loved it. It legitimately made the fight feel less like we were fighting a bad guy who wanted us dead, and more like we were fighting a man who was genuinely forcing himself to fight us.

INTERMISSION 9: THE STORMCLOUD (ft. @violetthunderstorm!)

[NOTE: This takes place just before the final part of Cat's Claw.]

(KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK)

"Hello? Violet Wolfsbane? I have your pet here for you."

(A purple blur dashes to the hatch on top of the airship and lets someone in...and that blur is Violet, of course.)

Guess that answers my question...god, why is someone here at 6 in the goddamn morning?

(We all groggily follow the ever-so-energetic Violet to the airship hatch, and the vistor we let in is...well...)

"Hello, Ms. Wolfsbane! Here's your pet stormcloud, as you asked! Told you I'd deliver it to your doorstep."

(...like nobody we've ever seen before.)

Excuse us...but...who are you?

(The 5 of us are greeted by a little purple stick-figure.)

(She wears a purple stereotypical witch hat with a gold band around it that seems to have been made to look jagged [akin to a lightning bolt], a lavender tasseled scarf on her neck, a pinkish purple long-sleeved shirt with a purple storm cloud printed onto it, and a purple skirt to finish the look off.)

"I'm Violet Thunderstorm! Your friend, Violet Wolfsbane, asked if I could make her a pet stormcloud of her own."

I'm sorry, WHAT?! A pet stormcloud?

"Well, yeah. I'm a magical witch, what do you think the hat is for? Anyways, here you go, Miss Wolfsbane!"

(She brings out a little ball made of storm clouds. Suddenly, a face made of purple lightning appears.)

"He's all yours! Goodbye now, Miss Wolfsbane!"

(The little purple stick figure then poofs away in a puff of smoke.)

I think I'll call him...Thunder.

(Thunder immediately begins chasing Damien, Alter's pet dalmatian dog, and the two immediately begin a Scooby-Doo-esque chase.)

(sigh...) At least it was only two hours of sleep we lost...
ACHIEVEMENT GET: Thunderstruck (added to Stock Achievement set)

Hey Kyle, you werenโ€™t the only one who walked through that spinning tunnel (which was called The Vortex), in my case it was the Ripleyโ€™s Believe It Or Not Museum in Orlando.

I was really young at the time (around my elementary years) when me and my family went to Universal and Disney on Vacation. Iโ€™m not prone to motion sickness (unlike my mom), but I still felt a little weird walking through that tunnel mainly because of how mesmerizing it was.

Avatar

HOLY SHIT IT WAS IN THAT LOCATION TOO?! I honestly thought it was just in the Niagara Falls one.

And oh my god you're right, it was absolutely mesmerizing. Somehow it didn't make me dizzy. In fact, I went through it so many times that I actually lost count of how many times I went through it!

When we arrived at the gift shop at the end of the museum, I actually ran back to see The Vortex one last time before I left. It was so cool I wanted to outright have one last view of it!

The trip to Niagra Falls was the best time I ever had in my life. My parents almost went broke when we vacationed there that summer, but I will never forget how awesome it was. I wish we could go there again, to be honest.

Sweet. Thanks for the info, Doc.

You're welcome, Kyle. By the way, how is Clifton Hill?

Oh, it is fucking SWEET. Since I made this game world, I made Clifton Hill exactly as I remembered it back when I visited it in real life, back around...2012-ish, I think? As such, we just got done visiting the Ripley's Believe it or Not mueseum, and are headed to the Guiness World Records museum right now.

Great experience...but why the actual fuck did you have to recreate that spinny light tunnel in there? (hurk!)

(Alter vomits into a nearby trash can.)

Damn thing made me ten different kinds of dizzy!

For authenticity, Alter! You know I don't half-ass things!

Alter, c'mon, it wasn't that bad. And you know that Kyle warned you about eating the snacks we got at the gift shop before entering.

I thought he was joking about the building being made to look like it was toppled sideways with King Kong! Not that it had a torture tunnel! (hurk!) Oh god, here we go again. One second.

(Alter runs over to the trash can again and vomits into it.)

Okay. I think I'm good now. Now, Kyle: you PROMISE the Guiness museum doesn't have a spinny tunnel of dizziness?!

I promise, Alter.

Thank you.

Dr. V, if you ever need to contact us again, just give us another video call, okay?

ะ”ะฐ. thank you, Kyle.

...I just said "yes" in Russian, didn't I?

You did. And I don't mind it. Now then, gotta go, doc. See ya!

(I disconnect the call with Dr. V from my wheelchair control panel as we head into the Guiness World Records museum, with the last of Alter's dizziness finally wearing off.)

Anonymous asked:

Dr. V's Psyche File: Killer Laurence

Killer Laurence... he's our Laurence Burnway if he was at his worst. Judging from the journal I've seen from his universe thanks to Sutton, this version of Laurence is a manipulative and heartless monster who wants to inflict his emotional crisis onto other people and let his anger and rage all out with no remorse at all.

Killer Laurence enjoys killing others and has no emotions or empathy at all, and even said that living in a horror film is fantastic, and therefore, Killer Laurence's ultimate goal is to turn his life into a horror movie so he won't feel any pain after what he did and how he should one day pay a high price. Malice Lily is there to help him out on that, and now we're dealing with two serial killer siblings who will destroy anyone without remorse.

Killer Laurence now considers all of this "The Biggest Spotlight" of his life, as in his own words:

"Don't blame the movies... movies don't create psychos. Movies just make psychos more creative. Life is all a great big movie, only you can pick the genre."

Dr. V, you forgot the last part of that quote:

"Life is all a great big movie, only you can pick the genre and how the movie's rated."

Yeah. And in his case, his movie's rated R for "realistic depictions of graphic violence".

And boy, is there a lot of blood in it.

Alright, comrades. I'll add it to the quote in the Psyche File.

Did you...just call us "comrades", Vinnie?

Oh, sorry. Force of habit.

No, no, it's fine. We just didn't expect it, is all.

Heh. Neither did I, Kyle.

It's a Ghostface mask. Not a crow's mask. Get it right.
GAH! Wait...no fucking way...are you the Laurence from the timeline where the CSB failed Operation: Prowling Spider?
Yes. And by the way...I didn't do a good enough job on Dr. Free and Dr. Sander. They're still barely alive. Turns out I'm not exactly good with unplanned killings.

Maera...? Is that you...?

(Dr. Free's voice is heard from atop a pile of scrapwood. His neck is bent out of shape, but not broken.)

Please...get us to a hospital...!

(Dr. Sander's voice is is then heard from where the fluourescent light was broken over her head. She was stabbed by a shard of glass from the fluourescent light in the jaw, leaving a hole in her jaw that thankfully didn't kill her.)

I'll do you both one better.

(She teleports the doctors to the medbay in the GEOGRAM base, then calls up Sutton.)

Sutton. Did you get what I sent you?
Yes, Maera. Dr. Franklin Free and Dr. Sylvia Sander will have to be patched up, but I can assure you with the help of Dr. V, whom is already working on them, they will live. And thankfully, she said she won't need cybernetics for this job.
Good. Now teleport down to me. I have something I have to show you.

(Sutton teleports down to Maera's location, and is immediately gobsmacked to see something he absolutely did not want to see.)

You...you're the Laurence Burnway who killed the CSB, aren't you?
Yep. Name's Killer Laurence. Nice to meet you, Sutton. Malice Lily's said a lot about you.
Are you appearing in one of her astral projections?
Is THAT what they're called? Huh. Didn't think they actually had a name. Anyways, yeah, pretty much.
Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?
Sure. Ask away.
First question: you successfully killed Alter, Violet, Henry, Ellie, and Kyle, correct? Those five are incredibly tactful and can turn things in their favor in no time at all. If you managed to kill them, as well as everyone who they had contact with, then how exactly did Dr. Free and Dr. Sander give you trouble?
Ah, that. Well, you see, I had a PLAN for the ColorStreak Battalion's murder, as in I had it all planned out in advance. I mean, if I'm gonna murder someone, I prefer to have a plan so I know what I'm doing and how to do it. However, this was entirely unplanned. I literally had nothing to work with on this one, so I basically just had to wing it, which I'm not good at. Did damage 'em, though!
Second question: When we originally saw you, Killer Laurence, you were hallucinating that Aaron had shot you dead. And from what I've gathered, that wasn't the first time that has happened. How are you seemingly doing everything completely focused as if you never had those problems in the first place?
Well, Sutton, after killing everyone I knew and loved, I developed a troublesome case of schizophrenia. I had voices in my head, sometimes with people appearing near me to match said voices. And of course, those voices occasionally were the ones that belonged to my victims. I knew they were fake, but that didn't stop those voices from constantly pestering me. However, when I found myself at Malice Lily's doorstep, she used her magic to completely cure my schizophrenia. Those damn voices that always pestered me are finally gone.
Third and final question: How did you manage to get here? I shut down the machine after Malice Lily made her way here. So how did you end up here?
Well, during my final bout of schizophrenic mania before Malice Lily cured me, I had forgotten to take my medicine, so it was a really bad one. See, in that last bout, the CSB was constantly pestering me by spraying paint into my eyes matching their colors. And it was fake, but my body thought it was real, so I kept stumbling backwards into the furniture in my apartment.
Hold on, you lived in an apartment complex?
(sigh...) Yes, Maera. I lived in an apartment complex before I ended up here, and since the killer was never found out, nobody knew of what I had done. Now, if you could please refrain from interrupting my story again, that would be great.
I mean, I got my only question answered. By all means, Killer Laurence, continue your story.
Thank you. Let's continue the story, shall we? (ahem)
However, when I stumbled into my mirror, a rift had opened there, put there by Malice Lily. The schizophrenia stopped as I knew I was actually falling, and when I landed, I was in a snowy landscape. Since I could actually feel the cold and no invisble walls were blocking my way, I knew it wasn't a hallucination. And the second I tried to run, Malice Lily's castle guards found me and brought me to her. And the rest, including becoming her accomplice, is easy to piece together from there.
Okay, hold on, sudden follow-up question: How did Malice Lily open a rift up? My machines take a lot of energy to maintain a rift like that. How did she manage to make one?
Oh, she told me how just before we did what we did to Dr. Franklin Free, Dr. Sylvia Sander, and the ones we killed (which Malice Lily's gonna put into that army of hers, by the way). She said she couldn't just put a rift to another timeline anywhere, she had to put it somewhere that was reflective, i.e., the mirror in my living room. And of course, she couldn't maintain it for long. She was just about ready to close it up before I fell through. And thank god I did, because I'm now her right-hand man in all of this.
Okay. I think I have enough to make another entry in my notes. Go away now, Killer Laurence.
About damn time, too. I was getting bored.

(Laurence whips out a machete and "slices" it through Sutton and Maera's necks. However, since it's an astral projection and he's not actually there, the blade goes right through them without any damage, like nothing even happened.)

Watch yourselves, or that blade really will slice your necks open next time. Because next time won't be an "astral projection".

(The astral projection of Killer Laurence fades away.)

I'll teleport us back to base.

(Sutton presses a few buttons on what looks like an old pager, and soon enough, they're teleported back to GEOGRAM's base.)

Sutton's Notes: Killer Laurence
It appears that Malice Lily now has the alternate version of Laurence from the timeline where he won Prowling Spider, who is now known as "Killer Laurence". I found this out after Colin Maera found out about the attempted murder of Dr. Franklin Free and Dr. Sylvia Sander, and some other unidentifiable people. Tragically, only Free and Sander survived, and the others have since been converted to Malice Lily's army.
Killer Laurence seems to wear an all-black outfit, and while we originally thought his mask was meant to be a crow, it's actually meant to be the mask of Ghostface from the Scream movies, but with the colors inverted. A black mask with white eye and mouth holes...I shudder thinking how scary that would look in the dark.
It seems as though Malice Lily made a rift in the timeline to get that version of Laurence on her side, and not only did she successfully do so, but Killer Laurence's schizophrenia, which was the cause of the hallucination he was suffering from when we first saw him, was cured by her as well.
Malice Lily still seems to be the one at the helm of all this, but now she has Killer Laurence to help her with her misdeeds.
An evil version of the Burnway siblings, both on the opposing side, both from entirely different timelines, and both ready to kill the CSB and everyone associated with them.
While Kyle has thankfully gotten that blank cell of his ready to entrap Malice Lily in, and has reported it can also contain this Killer Laurence character, I still fear for not only his safety, but for the safety of Alter, Violet, Henry, Ellie, Laurence, and Lily as well.
But I have no doubt in my mind they can do this. Things just got much more difficult, but they're no stranger to sudden jumps in difficulty before.
Whenever Operation: Malice Malediction begins, they'll have it covered, I know it.
After all, they didn't each earn the most prestigious medal of honor GEOGRAM can give (the White Diamond) for no reason.
Not on my watch it is not. You are not being "timed out" on such an important mission. I will not allow you to force the ColorStreak Battalion to go into this completely blind. This should fix it.

(BZZZZT!!!)

\\ERROR RESOLVED : REGIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA COLLECTION MODULE TIMED BACK IN//
Complications:
Monster Kelso - Just like it sounds, Kelso's become a snake-like monster and is on the loose. However unlike other Volitiles her process is reversable.
There we go. Good thing I was able to zap the module to time it back in. I wish you all good luck, ColorStreak Battalion. Albert, signing out.

CHAPTER 4, ACT 6: UPROOTED

(As it turns out, her warehouse is actually located in the outskirts of the Canadian side of Niagra Falls, which Futaba found out for us.)

(We immediately bust open the door to find...)

SON!
MOM!

(...Carol Cross, still in her cage.)

Mrs. Cross, I'll have to ask you to step back.

(Carol give Violet a nod as she uses Leadhead to cut a hole through the bars of the prison cell.)

Mom, you need to get out of here. We'll take things from here.
I understand, son. Goodbye, and good luck.

(Carol gives her son a hug, as I use my wheelchair to teleport her out.)

(However, the moment I do that...)

AWW...HOW NICE TO SEE YOU GOT YOUR MOTHER OUT OF THAT CAGE. TOO BAD YOU'RE ALL ABOUT TO BE TORN APART AND THEN MADE MY LUNCH!

Sweet fucking lord...

(I shake my head to snap myself out of it.)

Well, what are we standing around for? ATTACK!

(We all begin attacking Kelso, however, after a bit, Kelso grabs me out of nowhere.)

GOODBYE, MISTER NARRATOR.

WAIT NO NO WAI---

(GULP!)

[NARRATOR ROLE PASSED TO VIOLET CILANTRO WOLFSBANE]

(You cannot be fucking serious. Kelso ate Kyle...?!)

AND NOW FOR THE REST OF YOU!

Hey, Kelso! I'm still alive in here!

WAIT, WHAT?!

(HOLY SHIT! Kyle's still alive! And from the sounds of things, he's completely unharmed!)

Yeah, it'll take more than stomach acid to get rid of me. And by the way, it fucking REEKS in here! Haven't you ever heard of a breath mint?

AND HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF BEING DIGESTED?

Kelso, I think the proper term here would actually be...

..."being vomited out".

HI-YAH!!!

(Carol, Laurence and Lily suddenly smash through the upper windows. They all begin a three-person attack on Kelso.)

(First, Carol uppercuts Kelso, knocking her down to the ground, belly up.)

THAT'S for all the pain you caused me!

(Then, Lily uses her scythe to cut some spotlights from the roof that drop down directly onto Kelso's now-exposed gut, and the hits cause her to vomit Kyle and his wheelchair out.)

Kyle, you okay?

I'm covered in puke along with my wheelchair, but other than that, yeah, I'm fine. Thanks, Lily.

(Then finally, Laurence rushes in and injects her with chemicals to turn her back into a human.)

We already know you're an inhuman monster, Kelso. You don't have to turn yourself into one to prove it.

(Kyle, you think you can narrate again?)

(Yeah, I think I can do that.)

[NARRATOR ROLE RETURNED TO KYLE MICHEAL RYAN GIBBONS]

(We all surround Kelso, who is now back to normal. I drive my wheelchair over to her, whip out a tranquilizer dart gun, and aim it at her.)

I did not enjoy that, Kelso, and I'm undoubtably going to have to take an incredibly long and incredbly thorough shower after this. Regardless, it's over. We've won. Surrender willingly or we will be forces to take non-lethal action.

(Kelso suddenly whips out a detonator from her pocket. She clicks it...and nothing happens.)

Nice fucking try. We saw your bombs earlier and disarmed all of them.

(A small explosion goes off on the catwalks, causing a piece of the catwalk to fall to the floor, and the metal roof to bend upwards.)

Shit...looks like I missed one. My bad!

(I immediately facepalm with the hand currently not holding my tranquilizer dart gun.)

(sigh...) Damnit, Alter...

At least the roof's just bent and the part of the catwalk that got blown off is still intact. I can fix that easily.

Regardless, Kelso, this is your last chance to come with us willingly.

Don't worry, I'll do it myself.

(Kelso grabs the tranquilizer dart gun I had been aiming at her, and aims it at her own head.)

If you want to try and redeem me once I'm in that holding cell of yours, be my guest. But I won't give in to you so easily.

And if I'm going out...

...I'm going out on my own terms.

(She shoots herself with the tranquilizer dart gun, causing herself to collapse onto the floor, unconsious.)

Well...that was...unexpected.

Hmmm...I think I could turn this warehouse into an R&D labratory for my Pheonix Wing PMC. What do you think, COO Lily Burnway?
I say go for it. It is a tad bit big though...is there anyone who we could share it with?

What about the Chaos Creation Center? We HAVE always wanted a Niagra Falls location.

Of course, Violet! This warehouse is big enough for both companies. Just need to put a dividing wall up and repair the damages, and we can have two facilies in one.

Let's grab Kelso and head back to base.

Agreed. After all, we have a White Diamond to formally recieve!
๐ŸŽ‡OPERATION CAT'S CLAW COMPLETE!๐ŸŽ†
ACHIEVEMENT GET: Declawed ("Operation: Cat's Claw" achievement set)
BEGINNING EPILOGUE #1...

(All of us are in fancy tuxedos, as this is a formal event. Thankfully, after a very long shower, I'm ready to go.)

While the ColorStreak Battalion has already recieved their White Diamond medals, there are now three more recipients that have now earned the honors of the White Diamond: Carol Crystal Cross, and my own son and daughter; Laurence Blazerflame Burnway and Lily Ribbonrunner Burnway. It is my absolute honor to bestow these awards to you three.
Now then, I would like Kyle Micheal Ryan Gibbons, the man who created this world of ours, to give a speech on behalf of all the award winners here, including himself. Kyle, if you please.

(I drive my wheelchair up to the podium, and begin talking.)

Thank you all for this absolutely amazing honor. When I first made this story, I never thought I'd ever be a part of it myself. Sure, I had connections through a projected screen to the Cross Cousins, but I never thought I'd ever see them in person, let alone fight alongside them. But I'm going on 4 years of doing this. And I don't see myself ever stopping.
Now for some special thanks:
Alter, Violet, Henry, and Ellie: you four are absolutely amazing people, and I'm glad to fight alongside you as the ColorStreak Battalion.
Laurence and Lily: You two are amazing assists whenever we need them. I'm glad I was able to help Laurence see the light that fateful day and show him that he has people that he can trust, including Kynn Libitina Lee, or, as she's now known as, the reincarnated Lily Ribbonrunner Burnway.
The former Blackjack members, including Joe Sutton, Eric Hooper and Samantha Carracosta: Your work for not only GEOGRAM, but for the CSB, is absolutely amazing. And the fact you all have actual superpowers now is not something to be taken lightly.
And, of course, to the people outside of the game world who keep helping all of us through tight spots and/or are just genuinely delightful people to have as allies to this crazy adventure of mine: @flowerbarrel/@flowerbarrel-art, @johnlocsin-johnyakuza, @bonedgem, @meowy2, @ending-the-cycle-ask/@melonsalts, @hackanon, @hollow-henry-official, and @violetthunderstorm. Y'all are amazing, truly.
Now, repeat after me!
NEVER SURRENDER!

NEVER SURRENDER!

(The audience begins cheering for all of us directly after chanting that.)

Thank you all for the honors! I hope to see you on the battlefield!

(I drive off the podium, having finished my speech...however, I quickly do a U-turn as I realized I forgot some names.)

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: Let's not forget former Blackjack Members Colin Maira, alongside husband and wife Olivia and Andrew Samsa! They all fought well and hard!
Sorry, I legitimately forgot their names for a second. They're out of the building right now for reasons they didn't specify, and, as such, couldn't make it to the cermony. I would've mentioned them along with the others if they had been here.
Thank you for being amazing! Now, back to Aaron.
Oh that explains it. I was wondering why you forgot to mention them.
Adam! SHH!

(As the audience laughs at Adam's sudden intrusion, I drive off the podium and over to the others.)

Hey, wanna head back to Niagra Falls? Clifton Hill's a-waiting!

(Alter quickly finishes the champagne he poured into his "What in the Kentucky fried fuck" mug, and nods his head "yes" excitedly.)

Yes. So much yes. I was hoping you'd ask us that.

Beam us up, Scottie...I mean, Kyle!

(I let out a chuckle at Vi's joke.)

No need to tell me twice, guys! Let's get going!

(I aim the teleportation for Niagara Falls' Clifton Hill area, and immediately teleport us there for an amazingly fun celebration for a job well-done.)

END OF EPILOGUE #1
BEGINNING EPILOGUE #2...

(Malice Lily is currently outside in the freezing cold of Siberian Russia, wearing her rabbit mask to ensure nobody sees her face.)

Is my castle ready yet?

(Thomas Tanker, now wearing a bulky, yet ornate suit of armor that has been enchanted by Malice Lily's malice magic, bows at the evil Malice Lily's feet.)

Yes, o great Malice Lily. It has finally been completed.

(Malice Lily grabs Thomas' head and begins caressing it in a sultry manner.)

Now, now, General. You know that I don't like that "o great" thing added before my name. I know you're only calling me that because that's what the mind control defaults to, but I told you already, it's "my dearest". Don't worry, sweetheart, I won't punish you for that, as it was entirely my fault this time. I simply forgot to tell you about that whole "my dearest" thing. Just remember: refer to me as "my dearest Malice Lily" from now on, okay? And by the way, tell the underlings to refer to me as the same so they don't make the same mistake that you did. Thank you.

Of course, my dearest Malice Lily.

(Thomas walks Lily into the the ornate castle, and directly onto her throne. She tosses her mask off immediately sits down onto it, as the queen of her castle/stronghold.)

Before I leave, my dearest Malice Lily, I would like to say we found another person from beyond this realm. He had accidentally hopped into this world in a hallucinatory daze.

GUARDS! Bring this otherworldly man to me!

(Two guards wearing medival suits of malice-magic enhanced armor bring in the Laurence Burnway from "What if Laurence Burnway won Operation: Prowling Spider?". His eyes widen when he sees the sight before him.)

Lily?! What the hell is going on here?
I'm not the same Lily from your world. And this is neither my world nor yours.
Well, what the hell do you want with me, then?
You killed the ColorStreak Battalion of your world, correct?
Yes. Even their creator, Kyle Gibbons, fell to me. But ever since I destroyed GEOGRAM and killed my father, I've had some...terrifying hallucinations. I've actually been diagnosed with schizophrenia, in fact. Had to take some medication to stop those damned voices and hallucinations from pestering me. I know they're fake, but that doesn't stop them from constantly showing up.
Well. How about I go ahead and cure your schizophrenia?

(Malice Lily zaps the alternate Laurence, and he suddenly looks at Lily with clarity he didn't have before.)

No fucking way...the voices and the hallucinations are all gone! OH MY GOD I'M ACTUALLY CURED!

(The alternate Laurence gives Malice Lily a hand, motioning for her to shake it.)

If you want me to help you kill this world's ColorStreak Battalion, then you bet your ass I'm going to after you straight up CURED me of my schizophrenia. Do we have a deal?
Almost. We cannot simply continue calling you "Alternate Laurence". What would you like to be called, dear brother? Mind you, you cannot use "Malice" as your name, as that name is mine and mine alone.

(Laurence puts his hand to his chin in thought. After a few moments, a lightbulb goes off in his head. He killed the CSB, the Toppats, the Government, and even GEOGRAM in his world. He killed all of them. KILLED. The word is right there! As such, he immediately decides on a name...)

"Killer Laurence". That's what you can call me.
"Killer"...simplistic, yet brutal and to-the-point. I can most certainly work with that. We have a deal, dear brother...actually, come to think of it, you're not really MY brother, are you, Killer Laurence? Well then, allow me to rephrase my statement: We have a deal, my accomplice.

(Malice Lily and Killer Laurence shake on it. Malice Lily then gives him a new outfit with another malice magic spell.)

Oh my god...Now THIS is an outfit I can get behind.

(Killer Laurence is now wearing a jet-black leather jacket with a black long-sleeved sport shirt, a pair of jet-black leather pants, black socks with black spiked cleats, black leather gloves, and a Ghostface mask that has black skin and white eye and mouthholes [an inversion of the actual Ghostface mask colors].)

Leather is a good choice of wear for when you're enacting a murder plot. Easy to wash the blood off of it.
If you have need of any weapons when going outside of the castle for reconnaissance work, then you may go ahead and take whatever you may need for it, my accomplice. You now have my full permission to do so. Together, the two of us shall crush the ColorStreak Battalion!
Don't worry. I already killed 'em once, so you bet your ass I can kill 'em again.

(The deal has been made, and while Malice Lily is still the head of the show, Killer Laurence is now her right-hand man. Looks like we now have two alternate timeline lunatics to watch out for.)

END OF EPILOGUE #2
END OF EPILOGUES...

...unfortunately, that loud crashing sound is Kelso grabbing Phantom 1 mid-teleportation and smashing him into a set of lab equipment.)

YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, MOTHERFUCKER.

Kelso, please, watch the suit! I just dry-cleaned it, you know.

LISTEN TO ME AND LISTEN TO ME GOOD, PHANTOM 1. TELL MY FATHER THAT IF HE HATES ME, FINE. I'LL DO HIS JOB FOR HIM. I WILL RIP THOSE FIVE FUCKING IDIOTS IN HALF AND WATCH THEM BLEED OUT ONTO THE FLOOR. IT'LL BE EASY, LIKE BREAKING A FUCKING TOOTHPICK. I'LL FINALLY TAKE THOSE CONDECENDING SONS OF BITCHES DOWN MYSELF.

AND WOULD YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY? I WOULD CALL YOU BY YOUR REAL NAME TO INTIMIDATE YOU, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, YOU DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ONE!

Of course I do, my dear Kelso. You've been calling me by it the whole time.

WAIT...YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOUR REAL NAME IS ACTUALLY "PHANTOM ONE"?

Of course it is! I'm gobsmacked you hadn't realized that earlier! I had it legally changed to that a long time ago. I've since destroyed any and all documents that had that blasted old name of mine printed out onto them, and tragically, all the people that knew my name have all since died in the line of duty.

ALRIGHT, I GET THE FUCKING PICTURE ALREADY. NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SIGHT SO I CAN HAVE SOME PEACE AND QUIET FOR ONCE.

Gladly, you brute. Hmph!

(Phantom One teleports away, scoffing at what Kelso has become.)

(ahem) I hope you realize that you're calling ME a bitch when you say that, Kelso!

OH SHUT THE FUCK UP, CROSS. THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ENTIRE TIME. THE CSB, THE TOPPATS AND GEOGRAM. ALL GETTING TORN TO SHREDS. ISN'T IT ABSOLUTELY CATHARTIC? ACTUALLY, I GUESS IT'D BE MORE "CHAOTIC" FOR YOU, HUH?

What's your endgame here, Kelso?

IF THE CSB IS LUCKY AND DEFEATS ME AND SURVIVES MY ONSLAUGHT, YOU'RE FREE TO GO.

And if they lose?

(Kelso opens her now-monsterous jaw at Carol.)

YOU AND THE REST OF THEM ARE LUNCH.

(Kelso then snaps her jaw shut.)

You...you'd actually EAT me?!

HEY, MAINTAINING THIS FORM TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY. YOU'D BE SURPRISED AT WHAT I'M WILLING TO EAT RIGHT NOW TO MAINTAIN IT.

Dutly noted.

(Kelso walks to the other end of the warehouse, as her Vipers begin bringing in an entire farm's worth of live animals for Kelso to eat, just to ensure she doesn't black out in her monstrous form.)

Good luck, ColorStreak Battalion. You'll need all the luck you can get.

Operation Cat's Claw

Syndicate 5 of 6: Big Pharma

M.O.: Human experimentation and illegal testing instilling addiction to create a demand. Controlling prices for medication through lobbyism and brute force, leaving the majority without an option for treatment.

The Vipers Big Pharma Syndicate has forcibly experimented on multiple captured civilians and have released them into Switzerland, turning them into mutated sleeper agents. Worse, theyโ€™re going to release a virus into the cities to instill plague into the population. The damage will be catastrophic if nothing is done, we must destroy this syndicate.

Sarah Kelso's Parasite Unit has also been detected in the area. Theย Parasite Unit is an elite unit ofย parasite-enhanced super soldiers commanded by Sarah Kelso, and they fully make up The Sick Games Syndicate. These Viper's have access to mutated abilities and attacks, and also have inhuman resilience, and some of them were deployed here.

Be careful, The Parasite Unit are Kelso's Best of the Best Viper's.

Complications:ย 

Eliminate HVT's: Any Parasite Unit's in the are must all be eliminated.

Pacification: The infected civilians are not in control, but we can still save them, so no killing infected civilians. Any Viper Members are still sanctioned targets.

Poisoned Mist: Weโ€™ve detected poisonous spores and smoke released into the area, theyโ€™ll bypass masks, so be careful.

CHAPTER 4, ACT 5: FLORAL INFECTION

(We're right outside the Swiss location. It seems to be a roadside pharmacy...because of course "Big Pharma" has its' HQ hidden underneath an inconspicuous pharmacy location. We already sent someone ahead, though, that person being Laurence. Since the poisonous spores and smoke will bypass masks, Laurence is currently in the building putting filters over all the air ducts detected to be releasing the toxins so we can ready ourselves by the entrance before he destroys the machines producing said toxins. How is he not inhaling the toxins himself, you may ask? Because he broke his own nose beforehand. He can't smell anything right now.)

(I quickly radio Laurence.)

Agent Pheonix, is everything secure? Over.

You know you don't have to call me that, right? But yes, the toxin-making machines have been completely destroyed thanks to my own chemicals. The area is secure and ready for entry. Over.

Thanks, Laurence. Your help is very much appreciated. Over.

(I turn off the Radio, and we head into the area...but the others don't seem to care.)

Hey, assholes. We're not infected and your air-pollution machine is destroyed. We gonna fight, or what?

(There we go...now that they realize we're not infected, we have their attention.)

LILY, NOW!

(Suddenly, Lily drops in through the roof, and slices every single one of the scientists with her scythe.)

HA! How's that for an entrance?

Uh...Lily?

(Suddenly, a door that was marked "Infected Subject Containment Hall" bursts open, and a bunch of infected zombies appear from outta nowhere.)

Shit. Not good.

Wait...who said that?

Oh...I know who that is. This oughta be good.

(Suddenly, a flash of light appears, and everyone who was infected is uninfected.)

That...was a Persona...whoever's out there, show yourself!

(The figure walks out of the shadows and up to us, taking off her giant goggles to reveal...)

Futaba?! Holy cow, the last time we saw you was after Shadow Laurence's defeat!

Wait...Futaba, what are you doing in a Swiss pharmacy?

FUTABA, PLEASE GET TO THE POINT! We are on the clock here.

Not at all, Futaba.

If you hadn't shown up with Necronomicon like you did, we would've been toast.

(I quickly look outside and something catches my eye.)

Looks like the Parasite Unit arrived. Since we're doing the whole Persona thing...

(I quickly turn my wheelchair around so it's not facing the doorway, and summon Magatsu-Izanagi.)

Maggy-Izzy, you see those guys out there? Magastu Mandala their asses.

Of course, Kyle.

(Magatsu-Izanagi rushes outside, and some explosions are heard as the Parasite Unit is destroyed by a Magatsu Mandala attack.)

They have been destroyed, Kyle.

Thank you, Maggy-Izzy. Return!

(Magatsu-Izanagi promptly returns to where he was before I summoned him.)

(We're about to leave, but I suddenly get an idea.)

Hey, Futaba. Could you help make us a Phantom Thieves-esque calling card for Kelso? We would like to make sure she knows we're about to take her down.

Don't worry about Sojiro, by the way. Lily and I will let him know about this.
Yeah, don't worry, he'll be okay with it.

I'm certain we won't. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna teleport us all out with my wheelchair. Hope we see you again soon, Futaba!

(I quickly hit the teleport button on my wheelchair, and we all get teleported out of the building.)

CHAPTER 4, ACT 5 COMPLETE!
ACHIEVEMENT GET: Cat Medicine (Operation: Cat's Claw achievement set)
BEGINNING EPILOGUE...

(Kelso is still working on the final part of her plan, which she has been working on non-stop ever since we saw her last.)

I'll show them! I'll show them ALL who the real hero is! Not those stupid criminals in the Toppats, not GEOGRAM, it'll be ME and ME ALONE!

Kelso, you been at it for a solid DAY now. Can't you give it a rest?

No dice, Carol! I'm not stopping unless something comes up.

(She looks up at her main computer unit and suddenly notices that there are calling cards [that are printed on paper with a wavy horizontal striped pattern of, from top to bottom, red, purple, blue, pink, and black] posted up everywhere where her security cameras are watching over)

Well, that definitely qualifies as something...what the hell is all of that about...?

(As she hops off the machine, an armored warehouse guard suddenly rushes into the warehouse.)

Kelso, ma'am, we managed to grab one of the calling cards from outside, and what's written is not pretty.

(She snatches the card from the armored guard's hands and begins reading it.)

-๐Ÿ”บ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ต๐Ÿ’•โœ๐Ÿผ-

To Miss Sarah Kelso, the leader of the Vipers:

You already know who we are at this point, so let's cut to the chase.

You have gotten away with far too many crimes to count. Eco-crimes of the utmost degree, unlawful experimentation on humans turning them into snake-people, kidnapping and torturing an innocent woman...and many more we cannot even begin to list here. We will take you down and make sure you are swiftly and properly punished for your crimes.

Your time is up, and you have finally run out of places to hide. We will enjoy watching your downfall.

Count your remaining hours, Sarah Kelso. We will take you down.

And that's not a threat. That's a promise.

- ColorStreak Battalion ๐Ÿ”บ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ต๐Ÿ’•โœ๐Ÿผ

-๐Ÿ”บ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ต๐Ÿ’•โœ๐Ÿผ-

(Once Kelso finishes reading the card, she rips it to confetti and stomps on its' remains. She points to the door, non-verbally ordering the armored guard to get out of her sight.)

So they wanna play hero, huh? Fine, if that's the case...

(Kelso begins working on the machine again, as an evil, crazed look begins to form on her face.)

...then I'll play villain.

Kyle Cross...wherever you are, I want you to know that you and your friends can do this. Take her down, son. For all of us.
