Chapter 251: (Poof)
AN: You ever just DIY a fuckin band aid because you can't be bothered to look around the house for the first aid box after walking across town and back?

Warbeard and Mekka don't even wait for my order before charging at the apparent villain yelling even louder than before, the newcomer is immediately smacked away and sent skidding up the hill and crashing into my zombie horde who were slowly shambling their way down, but Mekka managed to get a few solid hits in while it's distracted. Hopefully Warbeard is a Brute. POOF

Visage of Bolas (Hour of Devastation) - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering Host permanently gains a random number (3) of spell charges. Host can spend 28 charges to summon Nicol Bolas for 1 minute. Intensified by the 1 to be permanent.

Taysir adds 13 charges to Host due to summon.

POOF

Magical Pigeon Host permanently gains a random number (20) of spell charges. Host can spend 4 charges to transform a summon into a flock of pigeons for an hour, after reverting to their regular state, the summon's timer will be reset and they will be healed of all injuries, though they won't remember the time they spent since getting summoned.

Taysir adds 4 charges to Host due to summon.

On second thought, maybe it's best if I don't risk Warbeard dying of internal bleeding or something. With that thought I turned him into birds and waited for the moment when POOF

Mountain (Magic Origins) - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering Host permanently gains a random number (7) of spell charges.

Typical, first time I really have a dud, and it's against what appears to be a high-level Brute. Unfortunately my confusion is all the thing needs to figure out that it hates Mekka because it swings it's misshapen arm out like some cross between a hammer and a whip and cracks my robotic summon in the head. I'm not too worried, Mekka is sturdier than he looks, but I am vaguely insulted. I pull again, hoping for a more offensive spell to actually help out. POOF

Chaos Necromancer Chaos Necromancer empowers all magic-based undead within 70 feet with Brute and Mover powers by a factor dependent on the number of host species who have died in his presence since he was last summoned.

Taysir adds 1 charge to Host due to summon.

At least he's wearing armor. "No time to explain, fight." He immediately starts cackling and gestures at my zombie horde, who have just barely picked themselves up after being knocked over. In response to being pointed at, the horde begins moving a bit faster. Great? Meanwhile Mekka manages another hit before locking the beast in a grapple. POOF

Statue of Red Nova A statue containing the spirit of a powerful demon. Don't break it.

Taysir adds 6 charges to Host due to summon.

Oh hey, a statue. I guess I have something else to sell after we're done with this- this whatever is happening to make up for losing the bear. It looks pretty expensive. But for now I turned it into birds so it wouldn't get smashed to bits during the fight. That's handy. POOF

Torch Courier (Guilds of Ravnica) - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering A goblin postal worker, like most goblins he can only really be relied on to carry out one instruction at a time. Host can unsummon him to give another summon a mild Mover power for 7 minutes.

"Wuzzat?" Huh.

"The enemy." This turned out to be the wrong thing to say to a small green person holding a torch as he immediately threw the burning implement at the grass and ran away screaming. Just what we needed, more fire. If only there were a way to get something useful out of- POOF And he's gone, I also have a nifty spell that I just noticed I have. I decided to use it on Mekka, since one of the robot's only weaknesses was how slow his big clunky body was to start moving. Now to do something about the fire while Mekka holds off the two headed thing- Wait.

It has two heads. It can probably survive being split into two separate creatures. I probably won't get in trouble for using it in self-defense. I am the biggest idiot sometimes, why didn't I think of using this sooner? Unfortunately I prep the spell slightly slower than Mekka is able to rush over there so it gets damaged a bit more than necessary right before POOF

Scute Mob (Modern Masters 2015 Edition) - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering + Altergeist Meluseek A random number (17) of dog-sized beetles native to a forested region that experiences seasonal deluges. They go into a breeding frenzy upon detecting high humidity and are eventually forced to migrate into the minds of nearby host species, temporarily replacing 'unimportant' information as they do so. The phenomena often causes nearby villages to forget that birds exist or who the current king is until the scutes eventually die of old age a few years later.

Taysir adds 12 charges to Host due to summon.

POOF

Dark Magician (Arkana) 'The ultimate wizard of attack and defense', Tasir would probably be jealous if this guy stuck around long enough for that information to become relevant.

Taysir adds 16 charges to Host due to summon.

I don't know what I expected to happen, but watching as the feral Case 53 draped in rags flopped over into a pair of capes in fancy professional costumes who looked nothing like it as some deer frolicked majestically around them was not it. I mean, I expected the deer, but where did the costumes come from? Even Taysir looks mildly interested in this development, he's never shown any signs of caring about Earth Bet stuff that didn't involve one of us clones or the Endbringers. In any case, the monster is in two pieces who would apparently rather be asleep right now, it's time to actually do something about that fi- Damn that's a big dog.

Uhhh thank goodness that Taylor's powers summon nerfed counterparts of dangerously powerful beings. We do NOT need multiple Nicol Bolas' running around. Yuck.

Yeah I haven't decided if there's a chance for some other Planeswalker to notice that he's 'escaping' from dragon jail or if MTG is necessarily in Wiki Warrior's distant past (depends largely on how fast all the other flavors of bullshit this arc is generating get resolved), but I figured having a character that broken running around this early would make it really hard to justify the war going on for more than a month or so.
 
If anyone else forgot about what Poof just did, here's the spell she pulled in her previous chapter.
Smelt//Herd//Saw (Mystery Booster) - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering Host permanently gains a random number (9) of charges. Host can spend 14 charges for a Blaster power to either render Tinkertech/enchantments inoperable or split a living creature into 2 living creatures. In either case this spell will also produce a herd of 3 adult elk.
I'm assuming this spell effect is permanent and Crawler no longer exists?

Oh my god.

Nicol Bolas, really? Really, Poof?!

...actually, how do you pick which Wiki to roll? The MTG/YGO balance is pretty skewed to MTG sid this update

That wasn't Crawler, that was the 'lovebirds' fused together who Jack Slash referenced in his interlude, Limber and Lumber. And yeah, they've been saved from Bonesaw's surgery.

I'm guessing it's a coin flip, so basically, completely random odds to get either one.

It is indeed a coinflip, Heads I pick what I believe to be the more comical/silly wiki, Tails I pick the more scary/serious wiki. I'm not always right about which is which, but I don't switch them around later so the results stay as transparent as possible.

Yeah, it's an interesting conundrum. A good few of the pairs shown so far for example don't really have one that's more serious. Like, YuGiOh has sillier things on average for example, but MTG has the unglued set.

And don't even get me started on Noisy Tenant v Rick and Morty

is this the spell is permanent, or Bolas would be if he was summoned? either one seems like it could be really bad. But maybe it could draw some attention, good or bad, from the wider multiverse if there's any sign of his presence.
AN: You ever just DIY a fuckin band aid because you can't be bothered to look around the house for the first aid box after walking across town and back?
Exclusively, bandaids are terrible and get yucky, to much for small knicks and not enough for anything that seriously parts flesh, I just clean it then glue it up with superglue.

The spell is permanent, though costly enough compared to its duration that she's unlikely to use it unless she runs out of cheap "reanimate a minion" spells to use on other dragons.

It didn't draw blood or anything, just a popped blister that I'd rather not have rubbing anything for a few days.

Frankly even one minute of Nicol Bolas is basically a instant win against everything short of Scion, even if its a pseudo Planewalker that isn't really up to par with a real one its still effectively the most powerful being on that world short of one of those beings that created it, so its easily upper tier Endbringer level of power at least, if not more, so she summons it and anything outside of Scion is basically dead within a minute anyway so its not like the duration matter. She basically gained something akin to a Final Fantasy Summon that appear perform some insanely powerful attack (well a few, I tend to look at it with a similar logic to D&D so she get a few rounds of use out of it) and disappear, while yea its very costly, its however also insanely powerful and could send running an Endbringer easily.

Of course, we know, or at least can look up, who Nicol Bolas is, but Poof (is Poof Pocus? I can't remember) probably doesn't know who Nicol Bolas is, and I doubt she can just look him up. So, right now, it seems like a really expensive spell to summon a random guy for a minute.

Hocus and Pocus are Crash and Pow, respectively. They went on the run for "murdering" one of the newer S9 members.

Yea but logic would dictate that whatever you summon for an enormous amount of power and that only last one minute would be something extremely powerful, its a simple logical thought process that she should be able to do fairly easily.
 
Chapter 252: (Clang)
AN: I'm not too sure if the silent dialogue is portrayed correctly.


"Are you sure I can eat this one? Yesterday you said never." Yesterday I didn't think we'd ever be in the same state as the Slaughterhouse Nine, let alone in the same fucking kitchen as Jack Slash.

Yes, just make sure there's enough of him left for the PRT to confirm that we killed him. Ideally the head. In response the black sludge monster pouted, some of his 'collected' skeletons shifting around in his gooey mass to give the impression of facial muscles. Sometimes I wonder what I did to summon such an obviously villainous villain, did I kill Alexandria in another life or something? The worst part was that Aldrich was outwardly loyal, I think. If he'd been an asshole it would have been much easier to order him to turn himself in, but on the other hand if I did that I wouldn't have the cannibal on hand for this mission. So maybe I did deserve him.

"But the head is the best part! Eyeballs and brains have flavors and textures that you can't get in any other part of the body." I really didn't need that clarification.

We need it to ID him as an acceptable target, cannibalism might not technically be illegal in New Hampshire but you still need to get the body through legal means like a will or a Kill Order. I hate that I had to look that information up, my PHO ads were going to go to some dark places soon I just knew it.

13 spell charges awarded for Wisdom.

Wonderful. "Hmmph. Fine. So I just sprawl out over the street?" I nodded my confirmation before getting to work on busting the fire hydrant with my make-shift sledgehammer, this plan required Slash to not realize that a glistening wet street was unusual. Hopefully there wouldn't be a major fire anywhere soon that this tactic would exacerbate. We had managed to get out and ahead of the maniac to camp on Lord Street, just a few blocks away from the PRT headquarters, the closest of the targets I gave him from Original's house. Thankfully he'd taken a detour or something because there were no signs that he'd visited the deceptively empty-looking headquarters just yet.

It only took a few whacks to get a decent amount of water spraying out of the hydrant, enough to make Aldrich look like just more wet asphalt, and I quickly retired to wait in the abandoned office building where Pew was keeping watch. Hopefully it wouldn't be too long. I decided to occupy myself to avoid pre-combat jitters. Pew was typing some code-looking stuff on her 'borrowed' laptop, a good excuse as any. "So what are you working on?"

"I downloaded a virus off of PHO."

Didn't the computer come with antivirus installed?

"Yeah, I turned it off."

Why?

"Well I wanted the virus, to Tinker with."

Oh. Yeah in retrospect that kind of makes sense. I sort of forgot how amazing it was to make Tinkertech. Almost as good as being able to calmly walk into the sorts of bullshit that get dumped in our laps knowing we can just cartwheel or backflip away. God I was so jealous of Original right now, the smug bitch. If I wasn't so determined to kill Slash here I'd be tempted to eavesdrop when he catches up to her and-

"Wait, are you listening?" Oops.

"I was, but then I got distracted. Could you repeat it?" Pew didn't look convinced. Pretty please?

She sighed. "Fine. So basically I wanted to Tinker on the virus as a bit of anonymous hero work that I could then take credit for on the off chance killing Slash wasn't good enough. See, this thing has been spreading around every kind of device ranging from government supercomputers to microwaves to those fancy digital watches imported from Earth Aleph. The PRT haven't made any official statements on it yet, but the experts on PHO are pretty sure it's Tinker-made because it can write out new programs that target both essential systems of the device it operates on as well as indirect stuff that shouldn't be possible, like clocks refusing to tell the correct time when it pertains to a drug bust."

Seriously?

"Yeah. I downloaded a version that was built around a refrigerator, rumor has it, this version of it is only stable because the virus knows it'll reach more devices if hackers think it's stable."

That's insane.

"Yeah, I would have called it crazy too. But my specialty is in AIs, so I don't have that luxury when it's staring me in the face."

So...

"So I'm reprogramming it to be heroic as opposed to villainous."

Huh. I almost 'ask' another question when Pew begins to close her work down and dust herself off. "I'm going to be fighting Slash in about three to five minutes, which means you probably will be too." Fuck.

Oh, Smith is out there doing his thing still? That's interesting.

And while I hope their plan works, I don't admittedly really bank on it. Jack's survived worse.

Theoretically, since the "cape" making the attack is a Brahman shard it might work, depending on what the clone-QA-buds decide to share with Broadcast. Alternatively, the clones have Brahman shards and he doesn't get anything, so he just walks into the middle of Aldrich and gets (mostly) eaten.

Possible bad side: Bonesaw may have tinkered so much on him that he can survive as a talking head, Futurama style. The PRT discovers his thinker power and tries to use it against the endbringers... but then Scion shows up.
 
Chapter 253: (Zap)
Stopping the fire from getting worse turned out to be easier than I had expected. "Alright Slobber, now use Burn Up!" Betty called out over her borrowed megaphone.

"Listen, I don't really know much about your pow- pokemon, but wouldn't less burning be better?"

"Hmm? Oh no, though I can see why you might think so if you've never trained Fire-types. Burn Up gets all the burning out of an area at once and then asserts elemental Normality so it rapidly cools to normal seasonal temperatures and can't spread again, Slobber and I use this all the time fighting forest fires on the Kanto border." What the fuck is 'elemental normality'?

In any case, true to her word, the fire swelled for a second as the flames around where Slobber entered the blaze turned blue before the whole thing fizzled out. Well almost the whole thing, there were still lots of 'little' fires scattered around the edge of town and there was still something upright and still blazing lime green down the street. My new power told me I could time-stop the apparent metal post if I wanted to and I almost considered trying, before rejecting the idea due to how unbearably hot it still was right here. At least the fire wasn't spreading again. "Holy shit. It actuall-"

"That is the biggest Crawdaunt I have ever seen!" Betty was now over on the other side of what used to be an inferno, snapping pictures of who I could only assume to be one of the 'angels' or an out-of-town Case 53. After the first few flashes, they began posing for her with flexes and some kind of water power. Looking around the crispy neighborhood, there were a lot of the animal-esque capes, I even saw a guy with stereotypical feathered wings. Slobber padded up beside me and sat down, panting. Whatever she just did turned her red fur a yellowish brown, I decided I wasn't going to question it. POOF

Dark Magician (Arkana) 'The ultimate wizard of attack and defense', Tasir would probably be jealous if this guy stuck around long enough for that information to become relevant.

Hmm? I guess that was another clone doing her thing to solve the problem. Not too bad of an idea, considering. I had a couple creatures that were good at swimming, but that wasn't the same thing as using it. ZAP

Congealed Gas Ball (Aberration) Tinker power, can convert gasses into dissolution-resistant gels with identical chemical properties as the gaseous form.

A dud. POOF Well at least it isn't an emergency. I think. That thing over there just might be a newly untreeafied Lung with all the other shit that's been happening. ZAP

Mod:Primal Fear/Primal Caustic Rocket Blueprint Tinker power, caustic ammunition for a rocket launcher.

Another dud. ZAP

Explorer Notes A small journal written by an explorer, detailing the many supposedly extinct creatures they had encountered in their travels.

A book, I flip it open to a random page but it ZAPs away before I get through a paragraph. It was something about ferns, I think. ZAP

Switch (Base Set) Host permanently gains a random number (7) of charges. Can spend 2 charges to instantly swap the positions of any 2 summons. This is what happens when you kill off a Simugh bomb before they have a chance to explode, they just reinsert themselves into the story later.

A cape in a blue coat and a visor walked up to us, looking at Slobber and me and then back to Slobber. "Is this your dog-thing?" She had a New Yorker accent.

"Ah, no. Slobber here belongs to that lady over there snapping photos of the crab-man." I get the distinct impression that the cape blinked, despite not being able to see it.

"The civvie? Huh. Must have imagined it. Nevermind." Okay? The cape then proceeded to wander off towards where the angels had moved on to, fighting the cooler yet more immediately threatening fires. I almost would have called that exchange 'weird', but weird doesn't even begin to describe the surreal nature of reality anymore. Maybe it never did.

After a few more minutes, Betty came back. "Oh, you haven't recovered yet girl?" Slobber whined in response. "Well that's okay. Du Fromage can probably handle it from here." Who? Betty then uses her Tinkertech laser to return Slobber to energy form before bringing out another creature, Du Fromage, presumably. It's like an armored velociraptor, dark purple and covered in white cracked-looking external bones that give the vague appearance that it's a skeleton made of eggshells. No feathers though, so I guess Jurassic Park didn't lie after all.

"Poach'd!" It croaked.

"Use Rock Tomb on that Sudowoodo variant over there!" I try to ask Betty what the hell she's talking about now but my question is drowned out by huge boulders ripping themselves out of the ground flying at the green fire. The noise only got louder as they slammed down around it in a loose circle before compacting around it in a dome of rock.

"Huh." I couldn't really think of much else to say. That worked way better than anything I probably would have come up wi- The rock was glowing red, Betty's 'rock tomb' wouldn't hold the fire for long apparently.

"Ice Beam, before it escapes!" Du Fromage responds with a freezing laser out of its mouth, coating the surrounding area in frost and cooling the rock back down to a non-glowy state. After a minute of the 'ice beam' the dinosaur closes its mouth and we all stare at the rock in anticipation. Right as I'm about to call it a victory the rock shatters, and if anything the heat is even more intense than before. The oppressive heat forces us, or at least me, to close our eyes at the intensity of it; I get the distinct impression that the metal post is angry at us. Then just like that it's gone, the air is a little chilly even.

I open my eyes to see the cape from before, holstering some kind of Tinkertech pistol with a bored look on the lower half of her face. Alright, that makes sense. Not just anybody willingly comes to an S-class situation in progress, of course she's a badass. "Now where did I leave that sack?"

Just like Haphazard, I'd love to read a story all about Betty and her companion that makes interesting times happen. She's out here exploring not only an entirely new region of pokemon that no one has ever seen or written about before (from her perspective, the area obviously has inhabitants but the world she's familiar with hasn't seen it) but the majority of it didn't exist moments before her and her travelling companion first encountered it.

It'd be hilarious if she had a pokedex that kept erroring and adding space for more entries every time she scanned something.
 
I think I'm losing track of things. What was the burning metal post? It wasn't actually Lung, right?

And was I supposed to know who that cape was or what she was talking about?

The post was summoned by Step when I first revealed that the Slaughterhouse were in town. It was originally an anomalous fire-watch sign that controlled the local temperature/vehicular accident rate, then Siberian crashed through it, so it's just a very angry SCP with localized pyrokinesis.

The cape was Cold Corpse, her antics over the last few hours will be the next interlude.
