Cale Efrun the Illusive Squidbot sidestepped the Unity Beam. Ignoring the lasers which were merely deflecting off of his diamond body, he used his diamond sword to slice the tentacle. He pointed his diamond sword at Lava Cthulga, and a stream of superheated squid ink sprayed out all over the enemy.

As everyone valiantly fought Lava Cthulga, giant Zelmon was standing several meters away, his hands raised into the sky as per Sailor Eros' instructions.
"Milady, why exactly am I holding my arms like this?" Zelmon asked. Although Hioma had thus far shown remarkably good judgment, this Eros character seemed...off.
"For our ultimate attack, Zelmon!" Eros stated matter-of-factly.
Zelmon gulped. "Our...ultimate technique?"
"Mmhmm!" She nodded. "Remember all that atheistic energy you used to channel around your hands?"
"Yes...?" he hesitantly replied.
"This time we're gonna do the same thing, except with Love!"
"I...What?"
"Just keep holding your arms in the air like that and focus, Zelmon!" Sailor Eros turned toward the rest of the protagonists and shouted, "Guys! I need you all to stall Mr. Lava Cthulga just a bit longer! Also, I need you to share your love energy with me! Anyone here who has ever felt love in their life, think of those thoughts and direct them toward me! I'd ask for help from the audience, but someone decided to destroy them again!" Eros gave an uncharacteristically menacing glare to the Hobo Quartet.
Meanwhile, Cale's superheated ink coated all of Lava Cthulga's body, including the glowing slits where his eyes should have been, blinding him. "RRRRAAAAAAAAARGH!" Unable to see, the monster fired his Unity Beam haphazardly around the Void, not hitting a single one of his preferred targets. Unable to effectively counterattack, he was struck full force by a combination of Ice and Lazah. Unfortunately for our heroes, the artillery from the Breadzord combined with Super Dracoman's Fire to create a dimension-spanning explosion. Being part Lava Rock, Lava Cthulga had a x8 heat absorption rate and siphoned the energy from the explosion, not only offsetting the Ice/Lazah damage, but healing himself completely.
"This was not the kind of second date I was hoping for!" Sarina shouted. "Chaos Hurricane!" Activating her innate Chaos powers and combining them with the Wind and Water Crystals (as well as some of Xeltyr's inner demon's wind powers), she used Super Dracoman to conjure an array of magical clouds that rained down upon the combatants with CHAOS RAIN. As it turns out, Lava Cthulga was actually weak against water (go figure), and was highly susceptible to the magical attack. Infused with chaotic energies, the rain tore through his diamond tentacle armor, exposing a set of softer, fleshier tentacles beneath.
"You want love?!" Sarina yelled. Without the exterior tentacles ensnaring it, the Matrimonial Claymore was free to be pulled from Lava Cthulga's body. And with Super Dracoman's mighty arm, she did just that. Holding the sword high into the air with both arms, Super Dracoman pointed it toward Zelmon and Sailor Eros. "Here's your love!" Sarina shouted, focusing all the positive feelings she had had immediately before this battle toward the esteemed matchmaker.
Slowly, the outline of an enormous heart appeared above Zelmon's hands...

"What is love?" Xeltyr snickered, offering what love he was capable of while merged as part of a hideous dragon form.
"Baby don't hurt me," Ridley offered, sending his love for his family.
"Don't hurt me," Riley also offered his familial love. And his secret love of muffin bottoms, which everyone suddenly knew about.
"No more." Fabio-Ridley and Rachel offered their true love to Hioma's Love Heart Bomb.
But it wasn't quite enough. Jeff was holding back.
"Come on, Jeff," Xeltyr urged. "Don't be that guy."
"Fine," Jeff grumbled. He offered his love, unwittingly sharing it with those he was merged with. He thought of the family he left behind, the few friends he did have, and all the love he felt for them - but dominating his thoughts were his feelings for Sarina, which contributed a significant portion to the love bomb attack.
If he could blush, he would have.
I think Super Dracoman blushed. Weird.

"Boss...I think we have to."
Magnus sighed as he realized Leske was right. "Fine. Make with the love already."
The Bread Wizard offered up his love of all things Bread. And Justice.
THe Mooketeers offered up their love for their lost hometown. Which was destroyed because of a lot of these people. THe love fluctuated for a moment before returning in force.
Magnus had to dig deep. Centuries of wandering around and fighting had left him without much use for love so he reeeeaaaaaally had to think back. Back to some of his earliest adventures as an immortal dimension-hopping wizard. Back when he had been a naive idiot.
He pointed dramatically towards the growing Love Bomb.
This hand of mine glows with an awesome power! It's burning grip tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love, more love, and I guess some more love!!"

The Incredibly Handsome and Much Much Better Than You Hobo Quartet began to bellow in a broken version of what can only be described as royal english mixed with binary.
"Love00Bomb00111111There00can00surely00be00no00greater00contribution00than00that00of00royal00love00100001"
The Incredibly Handsome and Much Much Better Than You Hobo Quartet began to stroke its handlebar mustache sensually.
"I00shall00offer00up00our00royal00and00robotic00love00in00its00most00exquisite00and00raw00forms00100001"
The love monstrosity opened the infinity belt and let loose a plethora of blurred out objects from Sexy Land, and began to ravage itself in the ways of royal love, for all to see, while still stroking its...handlebar mustache. Such a raw display of love and passion sprung forth from the loins of the The Incredibly Handsome and Much Much Better Than You Hobo Quartet and conjoined with the growing Love Bomb.

Cale sighed as he decided to go along with... whatever Sailor Eros was doing. Which was weird, considering he was still a robot. Made of diamonds. Don't forget that. He closed his eyes which, again, shouldn't have been possible, and he remembered.
He remembered a time from years ago, when he was just the simple son of a butcher, having recently immigrated to Awesome Land from his homeland, Ausum Land. He remembered meeting a childish space ninja, and how he had been both frightened and confused by her insane behavior. He remembered when the two of them worked together with some other strange individuals to save Awesome Land's capital city, and unwittingly created a worldwide crisis. He remembered being invited to join a team with her and these others, despite just being some "Other Guy," and he remembered the adventures they had together. He had met a foreign princess, embarked on a quest to find mysterious artifacts, unlocked hidden powers within himself, even traveled to space, and then... and then there were some things that he wished he could forget.
But just when he felt that he had entered into an unending despair, there was someone there to pull him back out of it. She had trained him, and taught him the ways of a world he had nearly given up on understanding. With her help, this simple butcher's son managed to become the leader of an entire clan, and they embarked on yet another quest to prevent the destruction of millions of lives. She had been suddenly taken out of his life, but had now been returned to it just as suddenly, and the joy he had felt upon seeing her face again had caused him to momentarily forget about anything else in the world.
These were the things that Cale Efrun remembered, and it was these feelings of love and loss, of despair and happiness that he sent towards Sailor Eros so that they might defeat Lava Cthulga once and for all.

"Ha ha...This is it!" Sailor Eros marveled at the sheer size of the gigantic, radiant pink heart that floated just a few inches above Zelmon's raised hands. "That's, ah, great, milady. Now...what do I do?" Zelmon panted. He was not marveling at the heart so much as he was struggling to hold it. Not only was it ridiculously massive, but it was also quite dense. He felt his feet sinking into the emptiness below him under the weight of the heart. "Oh, yeah!" Eros smacked her forehead as punishment for having forgotten something so important. "You probably want to throw that. Like, soon. The overwhelming power of emotion that courses through this heart is so great that you will be pushed into the Void for all eternity if you wait too long. Also, it gets heavier every second, so you should hurry." "Thanks for the warning, Lady Hioma..." Zelmon grunted, now almost ankle deep in the darkness of the Void. "So, all I have to do is...throw it?" "Yep!" Eros nodded. "Oh, wait! We also need some fitting background sounds! Atmospheric...Music...Activate!" Sailor Eros shouted, calling forth suitable music for the final attack of the final battle. "The show this music is from is all about epic battles! Really popular with the boys back in my home. I hear they were actually coming out with a new movie this-" "Milady, can I throw it now that we have the music... Please?" Zelmon was now up to his knees in the Void. "Hmm? Oh, sure. If you really want to. Buuut..." Eros stopped for a moment, briefly considering what else would make this battle truly memorable. "Yes...?" Zelmon wheezed. "You can't really launch the thing without first giving a speech about love and friendship and triumphing over evil! It just wouldn't be fair to us or to our opponent!" "If you...insist." Zelmon drew in as deep a breath as possible from the thin (and non-existent) air of the void and spoke. "Lava Cthulga," he said. "As I look into your fiercely glowing eyes, I see the souls of two noble creatures - a kind and obedient tentacle monster and a strong, determined volcanic demon - who never anticipated that they would be fighting for their very lives against a ragtag group of adventurers. I sense that the two of you never wanted it to be this way, and you can rest assured that neither did we. Were it up to us, this quest would have been resolved with as little spilled blood as possible." Zelmon shook his head and sighed. "But the foul machinations of a heartless, evil sorcerer have brought us here to do battle today. As I prepare to launch this attack, know that I vanquish you not out of malice. Nor out of anger, hatred or vengeance. I do so out of the purest of intentions - the desire to protect my friends and the sanctity of true love. Your sacrifice will ensure the continued existence of those precious feelings between Sarina and Jeffrey, Cale and Dorrei, and Fabio-Ridley and Rachel. The heart you see above me represents the ties made between each person here at this tournament. The bonds that we have forged are stronger than any twisted magic used against us, and I will prove this to you right now! Ready, milady?" Sailor Eros wiped a tear from her eye and nodded. "Ready!" " Ultimate..." Zelmon began. " Love..." Sailor Eros joined in. " CRUSHER!" Mustering up the rest of his strength, Zelmon pushed his arms forward, launching the oversized heart attack directly into Lava Cthulga. The Ultimate Love Crusher barreled into his chest before enveloping his body completely. Without warning, the ULC erupted in a tremendous explosion of blinding, sparkling pink light with the deafening roar of a thousand thunderstorms raging simultaneously. When everyone could see and hear again, there was nothing left. No Lava Cthulga - not even the complete blackness of the Void remained. It was simply...Nothingness. After what could have been an eternity in the timeless world of nothing, Leon Veralice emerged from the nothingness, softly clapping his hands, his eyes widened in disbelief. "You...You destroyed... everything. Cthulga...The Lava Rock... The Void! Bravo...I was watching from a safe place with my sponsors, and the ratings went through the roof the moment Zelmon gave that little speech of his. This is quite easily the most watched program in cross-dimensional television history. It has been so successful, in fact, that the people of D.W.A.R.F. have given me a...bonus of sorts..." Leon waved his hand forward and a sizable portal was ripped in the Nothingness. "For the record, it takes a significant amount of power to both enter and exit this place. That 'Ultimate Love Crusher' sure is something," he remarked. A moment later, a sleek, stylish and large (many orders of magnitude greater in size than all of the mechs in the previous battle combined) spaceship appeared. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present for your viewing pleasure: The Crimson Shadow Epsilon!" Red, black and silver in color, the Crimson Shadow Epsilon was a space vessel fit for an emperor. It was as intimidating as it was massive, and Leon made no effort to hide the fact that he was proud of it. "Beautiful, isn't it? You all have earned me this glorious machine. I love it so much that I'm not even going to double cross you this time." He carefully removed one of the magical rings from each of his fingers and tossed them to Sailor Eros, who caught them with her good hand. "With this baby, I can go on my next adventure. I don't have to stick around this lame Cardinalos place for much longer. There are much, much bigger fish to fry. Heheheh...Farewell, and thanks again for the ship!" Leon snapped his fingers and warped his way to the top of the Crimson Shadow Epsilon. "Oh, let me show you something cool first. This thing's even got voice control! Watch!" Leon cleared his throat and shouted, " Cross-dimensional Transport Beam, Engage!" A single cannon descended from the middle of the spacecraft and fired a stream of energy at all the protagonists, converting them into nothing more than a few atoms that faded from the Nothingness. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One by one, everyone's atoms began to rematerialize in what was either the Sistine Chapel or a perfect replica of it. After completely regaining her physical form, Sailor Eros hopped off of Zelmon's shoulder and undid the charm that made him giant-robot sized. "Well, that was quite nice of him," Zelmon mused. "I'd say he's only a few thousand good deeds away from atoning for all the trouble he's caused..." "We can worry about punishing Leon later, Zelmon!" Sailor Eros urged. "Right now we've got to finish this wedding before someone else tries to stop it!" "Of course, milady. Once everyone is here, I suppose we can all take our places." |

Cale materialized in a seat, slumped over and looking incredibly relaxed. "Holy mother of fiz am I glad that's over." With a sigh of relief, he shifted back into the form he used when he first met the other main characters.
Commander Lobster approached him. "So... what now, Squid?"
"Now?" Cetis laughed, "Now I need a damn nap."
The Commander shook his head. "You know that's not what I-" he was interrupted by the sound of Cetis snoring. At some point within the past two seconds, that Illusive Squid had rotated his body so that his back was in the seat, his head was hanging near the floor, and his legs were draped over the back of the pew. He had also managed to fall sound asleep.
Lobster stared at Cetis for a few seconds with a blank look on his face, then wordlessly exited the chapel.

Super Dracoman dissipated once the ULC exploded, the shockwave of love too great for even the fusion form to handle. For the short time they drifted in the nothingness, Jeff thought, "Hey. This isn't so bad." but then Leon had to go ahead an save them all.
Now suddenly in a cathedral that was (disappointingly) not Perish's bone cathedral, Jeff was also back in his formal attire. He didn't actually remember changing in the first place, but hey - mysterious changing clothes was not the strangest thing to happen recently.
Fabio-Ridley and Rachel resumed their positions, albeit a little shakily. "Quite the wedding we've had, huh?" he laughed.
"One for the ages," she assured him.
Jeff resumed whatever position he had had in the wedding party previously, although without his sunglasses. He found himself studying Sarina, wondering if what he felt was real or fake, and decided he didn't care. It was good and that was enough.
Xeltyr didn't have magically changing clothes and so settled in with Ridley and Riley on the bride's side. Compared to nude Pterodactyls, he was positively lavish.

"Well, here we are again." Leske observed as Team Magnus took their own places for the wedding. "I'm pretty sure this is how we started."
"Does that mean our quest is over?" The Bread Wizard asked hopefully.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure we were here for the Keystone." Ash said.
"RIght." Magnus agreed. "because we need the Keystones for....for....." He trailed off.
They all glanced around trying to remember why exactly they were on this quest in the first place.
"Well regardless." Magnus sighed. "We can pretty much leave whenever we want." He reached into his pocket and pulled the Keystone. "I went and got this while the tournament was going on."

The Incredibly Handsome and Much Much Better Than You Hobo Quartet was now again separated into their regular forms, that is to say that they were returned to the forms that they are most accustomed to, not regular as in average, that would be silly. The four are royalty afterall, how dare you insinuate anything other than their absolute spectacularne...yes...yes my Prince. Yes I know I have gotten better at this but I was bound to relapse at some point. No, no my Prince I do not wish for you to have Prince Elton possess me again as punishment. I will refrain, I swear. Thank you for the second chance my Prince, my apologies everyone.
The Incredibly Handsome and Much Much Better Than You Hobo Quartet was, of course, separated into their accustomed (and entirely royal) forms. Being taken apart at an atomic level and transported is quite a science, but it is difficult enough to assemble royal perfection as it is, and the higher and more perfectly royal form of The Incredibly Handsome and Much Much Better Than You Hobo Quartet was just too much for the laws of physics to handle for reconstruction.
"My words! It is finally time!" The Dayman once again dawned his priestly codpiece and assumed his position at the alter.
"Places everyone! Places! We have taken care of the vows and other pleasantries thus far, now all there is left to do is exchange the rings and have the kiss! A sweet royal diamondium filled kiss!!"

Wordlessly, Fabio-Ridley and Rachel Ridley exchanged the magic rings they had fought so long for. With that, their marriage was sealed: two long separated families of Pterodactyls had finally been reunited after centuries of displacement. Sealed with a kiss, the wedding was complete.
“Thank you,” Fabio-Ridley spoke with a quivering voice. “Thank you everyone who made this possible. Without any of you, I would never have met Rachel and I would still be the disgruntled hench-dragon of Radioacto.”
“That reminds me,” Jeff said to no one in particular. “We didn’t exactly complete that dragon-hunting quest. That seems like a plot thread that might come back around.”
Xeltyr shrugged. “We didn’t exactly make that promise to anyone in particular. Just some messengers who probably got eaten.”
“You…you weren’t with us then.”
“I might have been stalking you.”
“Riiiight.”
Xeltyr shrugged, watching the ceremonies peter out. “Still, it does seem like something that would happen to us. Well, to you.”
Jeff was about to respond, when he heard something in the distance. Something ominous. Was…was someone…singing?
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa
The roof of the cathedral was torn off, revealing a giant, glowing dragon flanked by smaller, non-glowing dragons. The earlier singing was apparently coming from them. The big dragon landed in the front of the cathedral, smashing several rows of empty pews. He looked around, considered those gathered here, and cleared his throat.
The smaller dragons were no longer singing, but Jeff could have sworn he heard music…
You woke me up, and took my stone
Did you really think I would let this go?
No, now I’ve come to take it back.
Jeff followed the dragon’s gaze to Magnus and sighed.
I'm spreading wings, lining up, then flying out of my dragon cave
This is it, your end has come!
Whoa
When I take flight, you feel it in your bones
A terror in your soul!
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm Radioacto, Radioacto
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm Radioacto, Radioacto
During the chorus, the smaller dragons sung backup, creating a nice reverb effect.
I spread my wings, turn my nose
I’m the dragon warlord, don’t’cha know?
I’m painted green, cuz I’m so mean
Whoa
I'm spreading wings, lining up, then flying out of my dragon cave
This is it, your end has come!
Whoa
When I take flight, you feel it in your bones
A terror in your soul!
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm Radioacto, Radioacto
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm Radioacto, Radioacto
I’ll sink my teeth deep in your side,
Tear out your bones and feast on your hides
When I take flight, you feel it in your bones
A terror in your soul!
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm Radioacto, Radioacto
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm Radioacto, Radioacto
Xeltyr clapped at the conclusion of the song until Jeff glared at him.
“Radioacto,” Fabio-Ridley snarled, advancing from his position at the altar.
“Ah, Fabio-Ridley,” Radioacto returned with disdain. “I’d say it was nice to see you again, but then I never enjoyed seeing you in the first place – and you appeared to have failed me on…so, so many levels.” Radioacto’s sigh exhaled a deep gust of rancid air.
“I’m not afraid of you anymore, Radioacto!”
“That would be touching if it actually mattered. Whether or not you fear me has no bearing on how powerful I actually am – which is quite a lot. I mean, look at me!” He reared back on his hind legs and displayed his surprisingly ripped abs. “And I breath poison, so there’s that.”
“You don’t get to bully us around anymore. I say the Pterodactyls are free!”
Radioacto blinked. “Riiiight. Unfortunately, that’s not why I’m here. As I sang before, you” he indicated the group, not particularly interested in the details of Magnus’ theft “stole my magical stone. I’m taking it back.”
This time, Jeff spoke up. “That’s not going to happen. We need that for a…a quest of some kind.”
“Again, unfortunately, that was not a request. I will be taking it back and then eating you all. Or eating you and then taking it back – whichever is easier for you all.”
Jeff was about to initiate a fight, but Fabio-Ridley marched forward, long blond hair flowing majestically, codpiece glittering in the sunlight. “You are going to leave here, empty handed,” he declared.
Radioacto’s laughter shook the very ground on which they stood, and caused storm clouds to form above. Several times he tried to stop, but just couldn’t do it. Even his backup dragons caught on and where desperately trying to hide their snickering.
Unfazed, Fabio-Ridley took flight and thrust his codpiece forth. “In my travels with these good people, I have discovered a power even you cannot defeat: Love!”
And that just made Radioacto laugh even harder. Xeltyr hid a snicker. Jeff laughed, too, but only because he understood what power Favio-Ridley had now.
Rachel was beside her husband in an instant. Their combined love gathered in Fabio-Ridley’s codpiece, which began to glow pink (for love) and icy blue (for Diamondium). While the glow was nothing compared to Radioacto’s, the power it heralded dwarfed the others.
“Love…Unity…THRUST!” The newlyweds shouted together, and thrust forward. The energy beam that erupted from Fabio-Ridley’s crotch slammed into Radioacto. His lackeys tried to intercept the beam but where quickly vaporized by the weaponized love.
“No!” Radioacto cried. “What is this?”
“THIS IS THE STRENGTH OF OUR LOVE!”
“NOOOOOO!”
Radioacto couldn’t stand the power for very long and tried to fly away, but a second thrust slammed into him, and exploded, sending a severely weakened dragon warlord off into the distance.
“Looks like this dragon’s blasting off again!” Xeltyr called after him. “Should we go after him?”
“Nah,” Jeff dismissed. “We’ve spent too much time here as it is.”
Fabio-Ridley and Rachel landed, supporting each other after that wonderful display of power.
“So how ‘bout it, Ridleys. Feel like tagging along with us?”
“No,” Fabio-Ridley said. “Rachel and I…we have important things to do.”
“Yes,” she agreed. “Our people have been scattered across the universe for too long. It’s time we reunited the Pterodactyls.”
“Well, good luck with that.” Jeff offered a hand and Fabio-Ridley shook it.
“What about us?” Riley complained.
“We’ll help,” Ridley assured him. “But just us two. They need some time together.”
“Yeah! Brother-bonding trip!”
Ridley groaned, suddenly aware of what he had gotten himself into.
“If that’s it then,” Jeff said, looking around. “I think it’s time we – “
He was interrupted, of course, by a series of portals that swallowed everyone who planned on continuing the journey, and dumping them in a new land…
