(Well this took a while to get to)

"Noted," Mack grunts as he steadies himself.

Valeena just laughs. "Do you really think I'm afraid of a mere knight? Come at-"

Valeena cuts herself off as she has to dodge Mack's swing at her neck; the sound of metal against metal sounds out as her neck extends beyond human limits to dodge Mack's sword, much to his surprise.

"What-" And then Valeena blasts him with her power, sending him flying into a wall - this time, pinned to it by bindings of purple energy. With a metallic clink, Valeena's neck returns to normal, and she looks at Black Knight, preparing herself for attack.

Yang's shots send the disks off-course.

Jonouchi, amazed, nods in gratitude. "A-arigato..."

Morphos, now glaring at Yang, opens up his chest, allowing his blue tentacle to zoom towards her gauntlets...

But it doesn't make contact - because Jonouchi runs ahead of Yang and grabs the tentacle, holding it back.

"What?" Morphos eyes widen - no one's tried this before. But before he can respond, Oren joins in, helping restrain the tentacle with Jonouchi.

Ryugen looks at Morphos - more specifically, the open gap in his chest...that could be his chance.

With a quick switch of Lockseeds, Ryugen returns to Bodou Arms, and runs at Morphos...only to have to dodge gunfire from Morphos's right arm.

Ryugen curses, getting to a safe distance. He can't get close because Morphos still has some firepower at his disposal, and considering how adaptable Morphos has proven to be, this opportunity likely won't last long. So, how to restrain him before he figures out a way around this...

"No need to thank us! We're just happy to be of service." Shovel Knight places down the chalice next to Not Rose as he speaks. "This Ichor of Renewal should fix her up quite nicely; I've been in a few scrapes myself, and this always heals me right up, even if I'm so injured I'm fighting just to stay conscious!"

"...noted." Eliza remarks, before turning around to look at Albus, who freezes up - not even a quarter of the way there. "Okay, Albus, what are you doing? I'm in the middle of a conversation."

"Uh..." Albus looks between Eliza and the Condesce, before eventually doing something...that thing being bolting back to Horace, who is looking at his fellow bodyguard with shame.

And as Tony Stark fights Megatron, someone watches from the shadows. He hasn't quite made a formal appearance before now, but his acolyte has already spoken of him.

Skeleton King.

Next to him is an orange-furred monkey in skeletal armor, with one side of his face being a disfigured mess - as if someone threw acid on it - and one of his hands ending in a large, robotic claw.

Said monkey, Mandarin, groans. "What are we waiting here for? We're wasting time watching these fools! We should go out there and-"

"Patience, Mandarin." Skeleton King rasps, his voice a low growl. He gestures to the two fighting. "Look at them. They clearly aren't of this world - or even this universe. Neither are we.

"We didn't appear here by chance - someone brought us here. Brought them here. And if we are to make any profit from this turn of events, we must find out who brought us here and who else has been brought here." Skeleton King continues. "Luckily, I happen to have a loyal, hard-working, determined acolyte who is perfect for infiltration..."

Mandarin grins, puffing his chest with pride. "Well, when you put it like that-"

"I wasn't referring to you." Skeleton King seems to grin slightly as Mandarin's ego immediately deflates. "It just so happens that the Skeleton King Droid has been brought with us - and it is completely operational. It's probes should suffice to give me the information I need."

And with that, the Skeleton King taps into his mental connection with the death machine to give it it's orders.

''Send out probes to scan the area known as the Alola region. Record everything. Do not engage, and wait for further orders.''

(Also, can I take Ms. Fortune and Cerebella as Wonder Light members?)
