Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Omnichronal Orrery of Phineas B. Fuddle

<seeing the course of events transpiring, Ex realizes that of course Phineas lied. Cobalt is still on the side of right. He lunges forward and grabs Cobie>

No! This is not the way! There is only one way to get rid of him permanently. He was inside your head, possessing you just as he did me...

...and one other!

Who?

WHO!?

How do we finish this bastard once and for all, Exxy?

<looks at Ex, as as time grows ever more of a commodity, decides to forgive the earlier mistake>

You're right, Ex. That's how maybe we can defeat him! But who else--Lardy? Was there another?

"Mike, back off. I've got to help."

Now all four of the time diverged Yellow Kids stand together investing their full power into the effort to expand the hourglass back to it's normal size. It grows bigger..bigger..

"MicroMan! Crack this egg!"

MicroMan's power grows greater as he shrinks smaller. He leaps into the air and with his jetpack thundering he shrinks smaller and smaller as he flies at the hourglass. He fires his micro-energy blaster and strafes the structural corners blasting them to shards.

Swiftly and unseen, the micro-hero slams full force and with zero-point super strength into the glass of the hourglass. Glass explodes outward from the impact shattering it into a bazillion bits. Pieces fly everywhere.

Cover yourselves!

Cobie, try to direct the flying pieces - especially away from Mary!

"Wait..."

YK is grabbed by the whirling energy and whipped into the air.

....

Yellow Kid is grabbed by the spinning energy and whipped into the air.

...

The Yellow Kid is grabbed by the vortex of energy and whipped into the air.

...

Yellow King is grabbed by the brightly glowing energy and whipped into the air.

Four voices that sound alike all shout together, "I can't control it!"

<to Cobalt shouting amidst the falling debris>

No! There was no other... Phineas possessed me to try to kill you... just as he possessed you to kill Lardy. The cycle ends there.

Lardy doesn't even know it, but the time he spent on Marzal... the whole time he was absorbing chronal energy.

You fight fire with fire and... trust me... you fight Time with Time!

Of course!

And if there is one thing that time cannot truly erode, it is the Lardforce!

Brilliant, Exxy!

But where have the two Lardies gone?

<spies Mary's hourglass being shattered>

Mary!

<shouting her name inadvertently causes NMR Lad to release his teeth from Phineas's arse, sending him sprawling to the ground. Struggling to avoid the falling debris, he races over towards Ex and Cobalt>

Say fellas, I know I haven't absorbed as much chronal energy as Lard has, but biting the celestial mechanism flooded me with quite a bit. Is there anything I can do with it?

You might be able to help keep Phinny contained until someone can find LardLad!

Keeping this worm pinned isn't as easy at it looks, ya know...

*unnnhhh*

<Lardy had been blindsided by some of the falling time mechanism and is pinned>

C-can't concentrate enough to 'port out...someone...get this thing...offa me....

"I got it big guy!"

Mike drops to the floor in his tiny super powered size, grabs the huge gear with one hand and flips it over and off Lard Lad.

Sprouting from a spot on the floor to a fully grown super hero in an instant he grins, "Great to have ya Leader Man type guy. Better late to the party than never, eh?"

He turns to his battered men who are now done with the fight with the numerous Yellow Kids and starts giving new orders, "Jim-MEY!! It's him." He points at Phineas being attacked by Kent and Cobalt. "That prick's due for an Extreme Makover!"

The boys all grin and turn up the power switches for their battle armor. Energy crackles around the small group.

Th-thanks, Triple G...er, I mean Triple M--ow, my mother-sprockin' back! Now, what the hell did Ex want me for?

Is there any way I could try to contain Phinny?

D-dude, Lash--you can do better than that scumbag! When all this is over, we're gonna find you a proper hottie!

<fades in>

It was your time in island exile, Keeper of the Lard, that has imbued you with the very power over time that is needed to best Phineas.

You can fight his time powers head-to-head, but most importantly, it is within your purview to choose the best time to strike. Choose wisely...

<fades away>

<In between Posts 100 and 101 a chronal energy burst shunted the entire Quank Clan 24 hours into the future. They have just emerged from the chronal rift.>

<span style="font-size: 30px;">HUH?</span>

Abin! Good to see ya!

(still struggling to keep Phinneas pinned)

a little help would be appreciated!

...and there are probably survivors under all the debris of the shattered hourglass.

<span style="font-size: 15px;">Green Energy Bands form around Phineas along with a green gag.</span>

That should hold him...

<span style="font-size: 20px;">Levitate!</span>

<The shattered remains of the hourglass float into the air and move off into an unoccupied corner where they deposit themselves in a large pile.>

Excellent! Just make extra sure his arms can't get free to shoot more chronal blasts!

Exxy believes Lardy's the only one who can zap him for good... but Lardy's still trying to figure out what to do with those new chronal powers he has.

Abin, Dearest, If I may?

<span style="font-size: 20px;">Restrain!</span>

<A shimmering golden aura forms over Phineas and hardens into amber.>

He can breathe in there but that's it...

Now... What about Mary?

Even that won't hold Phineas for long, Pagan. I need someone to help me access these chronal powers over time--time? Tim! Someone get me Time-Teller Lad! He's here, somewhere!!!

<fades in>
You need no one but yourself, O Guardian of The Lard.

The power and the wisdom are within you.

<concentrates, and solidifies hand long enough to lift Lardy's hand and hold it to his heart>
