N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E. laughed uproariously as Unintelligible's bullets bounced off of the invisible breastplate that protected him. "Muahahahahaha! You were all fools, searching after Plotblades while the real prize was Plot's armor! I am invincible!" As he said this, a bullet managed to shoot through his armor somehow, piercing him in the side. "Agh! Impossible! This armor is completely indestructible!" Another bullet snuck through. "OUCH! Blast it, I still can't get this thing to function properly. Why does it keep failing? Minions! Cover me!" At his command, the army of robots he'd bought off the internet opened fire, forcing Unintelligible back behind cover. "He's got me pinned down." Unintelligible muttered into his comlink. "Platypus, are you ready for your dramatic entrance or not?"

Platypus's reply came quickly, voice made crackly by poor connection. "I'm almost there, but bad news. Moni's research turned up a blank. This guy's done absolutely nothing to me, so Vengeance isn't going to have what it takes to break through that armor until his Destroying or Obliterating Machine does a lot of damage." Unintelligible cursed, brushing sweat from his brow as lasers chipped away at the boulder he was hiding behind. "Well, you might still have a chance. Some of my shots have gotten through his armor, and they're not particularly powerful compared to your weapons." Platypus's reply was quick and short. "Got it. I'm here."

Platypus hit the ground in the middle of the robots, sending them flying like Plot before pineapples. Vengeance glowed in one hand, and a shining sword that for legal reasons may or may not have been a true Luxblade in the other. "N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E.! I have fought Nameless and survived. Do you really think you can beat me? Surrender now, dismantle your machine, and I will spare you."

N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E. laughed even harder as his D.o.O.M. machine fired up in the background. "Who needs to beat you when I can simply outlast you? The D.o.O.M. machine is linked to Plot's armor as well, so don't think you can destroy it without defeating me first! Robots, attack!"

*cue extended fight scene that lasts for thirty pages involving giant robots, lasers, plot manipulation, and epic screaming noises*

Platypus landed on the ground, exhaustion etched into every aspect of his being. "I can't *huff* beat him. That armor really is indestructible when he's not boasting about it being so. And the D.o.O.M. machine spits out those robots endlessly. Unintelligible, how long do we have left?" Unintelligible paused from the task of sending endless waves of bullets toward the similarly endless waves of robots to glance down at his Destruction or Obliteration Machine Scanning/Detecting Apparatus Yellow (It was painted yellow) "Only a few minutes until full power is achieved! Storms Platypus, is there nothing you can do?" 

Platypus clenched his teeth. "I can't get through that armor! Once he was too tired to keep gloating, it was all just a stalemate. At least he lacks the offensive power to really damage me, but... blast it!"

A cold wind blew in from the west, and Omen was there. "I see that the two of you are in need of help. Worry not. I shall deal with this evil one." N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E., done crawling out of the crater that Platypus had blasted him into, had begun laughing in an out-of-breath sort of way. "You're doomed! In mere moments, this Thread will have a new master. Soon, I will RU-what is that?!" 

Omen advanced towards N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E., laser blasts from the robots simply passing through him as though he did not exist. He swelled up in front of the terrified evil genius, forming into a insectoid monster straight out of a nightmare. "Hello, evil one. It is time to go." Before N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E could do more than sputter Omen pressed a segmented hand to his chest and wreathed him in black smoke. A moment later, N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E. was gone.

Unintelligible's jaw hung open for a moment. "You... killed him? That easily? But how?" Omen, shrinking down to his normal size and becoming slightly less terrifying, shook his head. "He is not dead. I have sent him to a trial in the... well, you could say that he is in a dream. If he does not overcome the pride that weakens his Armor in time, he will be trapped there forever." Unintelligible frowned. "But... isn't that dangerous? What if he finishes the trial?"

Omen broke apart into a fog, swirling in thought. "Well, he would go to the Dreamsmith of course."

"And the Dreamsmith would deal with him?"

"Of course the Dreamsmith would-ah, he has finished his trial-the Dreamsmith will deal with him."

Unintelligible relaxed. "That's good. I thought for a moment... but no, thank you Omen."

Platypus raised a hand. "How exactly will the Dreamsmith deal with N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E.? I couldn't kill him even when he was prideful. Does he have some powerful weapons?"

"The Dreamsmith will deal with him as he always does. By looking into his soul and forging from it what the supplicant needs. In this case, I suspect it will be a weapon of great power, capable of helping N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E. on his path to total domination."

Platypus and Unintelligible stared at Omen in horror. "But... why?"

Before Omen could answer, N.E.G.A.T.I.V.E. reappeared, clutching an Axe wreathed in shadows and looking much more reserved. As Unintelligible's D.o.O.M.S.D.A.Y. hit zero, he smiled. "Now Platypus, where were we?"
