138.) The True Trimptree!

Fong: "Alright Bubauno, here's your fill!" 

She begins to absorb the essence from the dead body of Minoggib. The particles were pulled from the body as it soaked into her palms. She smiled as she could feel the power being stored within, or so she thought. 

Fong: "Hm!?" .

(Bubauno: "You didn't absorb his essence, you absorbed the essence of the Earth itself. You simply assimilated plant life.")

Morpheus: *Step* "Hey, what's going on Fong, something wrong?" 

Fong: "Yeah, Bubauno claims I've only been absorbing the remnants of Earth and the plant life." 

Kenny: "How is that possible?" 

Minoggib: "Because, I was created out of moss, the cells that make up.most plants, Earth minerals, and some tissue cells from a species of God my creator ran into. Then he placed a study within me to act as my Birthright. You're not going to gain anything from me, as it has all returned to my creator… heh!" 

Maeli: "Tch! Then this was nothing more than a fake commander!?" 

Mackey: "Looks that way." 

Ellie: "So… who's the real leader then?" 

Amera: "I'm pretty sure I know." 

???: "Even if you knows it, it's doesn't mean you'll be able to stops it!" 

Morpheus: "Ah, bullshit! You mean to tell me YOU'RE the fucking leader!?" 

Sammy: "I should've known!" 

???: "Yes's, I be the leader of this team. A team made up of nothing, but warriors from my's study!" 

Susanne: "That's one powerful study you got there. To think you created a small army with a soldier whose power exceeds the thirties!" 

???: "Yes's, and now that I've gotten all my's essences back. It's time's I show you all, what for!" 

Kenny: (His voice and appearance are changing.) 

The hunched over, deformed man slowly turned into a tall God with a staggering stature. The lumps on his body turned into symmetrical warts that held essence within them rather than puss. His body reflected the nature of a body builder with a huge gut. His skin was green and slightly scaly. While his eyes were sharp and his nose was quite large. His beard was rugged and messy, and the same could be said about the mustache that was attached to it. His hair was long and curly with a slick back look to it. His moss green scarf was torn in many places to match the rags he tied around his waist. His pants were beige and baggy with a cufflink found at the end of each leg. His brown boots and their rune marks went well with the large matching bracers he had around his wrists.

Gibbit: "Seeing as you're not one of meh targets, I won't be answering your question, gibbit!" 

Lancelin: "Heh, figures." 

Lancelot: "No matter, we'll make sure to get our answer when we're done with 'em!" 

Morpheus: "Damn straight!"

Gibbit: "Ah. *PEW* You're quite the threat, gibbit." 

Morpheus: "WHAT THE!? 

*Thud*

Gibbit: "Hm…" 

Morpheus: "Sike! You're nearly as powerful as my two eldest brothers. None of us will be doing this in base form." 

Morpheus wrapped his tail around Gibbit's arm. 

Gibbit: "Woooow… impressive stuff, little gibs."

*BLAM* 

Morpheus manages to surprise Gibbit with a nasty back hand strike to the stomach. It sent Gibbit flying deep into the maze that was now easy to maneuver through. Seeing as there weren't any walls left for miles and miles in every direction. Morpheus and Susanne led the charge with Kenny, Nubia, and Maeli close behind them. Gibbit recovered and landed on his feet as his speed slowed down. He looked onward and smiled at this oncoming assault. His eyes glowed a mystic green color. He summoned the Corte Divino and went to work! 

Gibbit: "Show me what you got, GIBBIIIT!!!" 

He leapt forward and slashed at Morpheus as he flew by. But to his surprise, he was knocked back a bit, forcing him to parry the oncoming punch from Susanne and her gauntlets. 

Susanne: "Impressive reflexes there!"

Susanne flipped over Gibbit as she slid forward. Morpheus circled around both and dove in from Gibbit's six as he turned to face Susanne. Her white, translucent dress flowed down just as she stood all the way up. She smiled and glared at Gibbit through her white framed shades. Dashing forward as Gibbit slashed at Morpheus and forced him back a few feet. 

Gibbit: "Now for you!" *PEW* 

Gibbit dashed at Susanne and entered into a frenzy of slashing motions as he hammered down on Susanne. But leave it to a famed young Goddess to be able to easily fend off the attacks as they come her way. She caught wind of his pattern and flow, giving herself a good chance to counter. She went for a low sweep which Gibbit leapt above as he soared up slightly. Twirling and flipping about as he swung his sword about. Clashing with Morpheus as he slid below Gibbit. Morpheus twirled his tonfas until Gibbit hit the ground. 

"This is quite the surprise." Gibbit states. 

*SWISH*

Gibbit threw a back fist at Kenny's soaring dragon kick as he came in from the rear. They repelled one another, sending Kenny flying back into a series of flips while Gibbit twirled like a fat ballerina. He dug into the ground then leapt forward into a hard stomp with his right leg leading. He swung his sword backwards at Maeli as she landed in her Aurora Borealis dress. She turned the ribbons flowing from her glossy gloves into razor sharp blades. Using both to block the oncoming strike from the Corte Divino. It started to break through as she slid further across the floor. Her glass heels cracking ever so slightly from the earth grinding against them. Suddenly… 

*WHIP* 

Nubia: "Not so fast, gibbit." 

Power Scale Level: 26(Clan Form boost)

Birthright: Chaos 

Element: Strife

Study: None

Age: 16

Gibbit: "Wha- how dare you, lowly Devojinnian!" *PEW* 

He leapt towards Nubia with a mighty flying kick. She blocked the attack with her forearm. She managed to keep her grip on his sword with her ball and chain, and whip combination. Gibbit followed up on this with a bicycle kick onslaught. Nubia simply backpedaled and continued blocking as she wrapped her hands in her chain and whip. The final kick came and her forearm met it with a protective coat from her Zenchi coated whip. She proceeds to poke his stomach before he could follow up on another attack. The force blew him back, giving her time to wrap the rest of her whip and chain around his body. 

Gibbit: "Huh… uh, gibbit?" 

Nubia: "Keeeheee, uuuup you goooo!!"

She swung him up into the air, unraveling her chain and whip from around her wrists and forearms. Allowing her to force Gibbit to hit the maximum length he could go into the air. 

"And dooowwn you goooo!!!" She yelled.

*WOOOSH* 

*CRAAASH* 

She flung Gibbit into the floor while coursing her Presence Zenchi into hos body as he lands. The cloth made of darkness and shadow that wrapped around her waist flowed upwards. Her black unitard stretched and creased as her leg flew upwards and the other lay planted deeeep within the ground. The black heels she wore glistened in the shine of the many Light Clan forms that sat around her. A black scarf covered her neck and shoulders with a mask covering her face as far up as the ridge of her nose. She stared into the newly formed dust cloud as she reset herself. 

Maeli: "Woah, fockin' good one, eh, Nubia?" 

Nubia: "I'm not sure!" 

Gibbit: "Not even close, gibbit." 

Nubia: "Damn!" *SWISH* 

She was pulled into the dust cloud. Meeting a massive bicep just as she was fully engulfed into the dust cloud. She managed to block, but was throttled into the floor. Their combined force from the impact cleared the dust and revealed Gibbit's position. He stepped forward to try and finish Nubia off, but his attack was repelled by a sudden strike from below. 

Morpheus: "Don't allow that head of yours to get too full, gibbit." 

Gibbit: "Tch! You too now, gibbit?!" *FWISH*

He swung his sword downwards to follow up the attack. Morpheus repelled the attack as Nubia rolled away. Gibbit knocked Morpheus away with a kick before blocking and slashing at Lancelot as he snuck up on his person. Maeli, Morpheus, Kenny, Susanne, and Nubia surround him for an all out assault! Going at him with their weapons fully coated in two types of Zenchi. Gibbit gritted his teeth and repelled all their attacks from every angle endlessly for two whole seconds. A lot of moves can be made in that time when you're all moving at least two times the speed of light. Gibbit felt the pressure increase and decided to rise as well. Bursting in speed and power for each counter strike he made. 

"Take THIS!!!" He yelled as he swung his sword outward. 

First he knocked back Maeli and Kenny who were located on his twelve and six. This sent them both into a backward spin that knocked them off balance. His sword flew up into the air, it was repelled by Kenny's well placed magic circle. It was made for counter striking if Kenny were to get knocked into a position that left him open. Gibbit simply scoffed at the action and continued to increase his speed. He flashed into Morpheus and Nubia's blindspots, chopping both their legs. They both fell to the ground for less than half a second worth of time. This was more than enough for him to catch his sword and dash towards Susanne. Stepping on her fist as she swung at him with her full power. The force helped throttle him forward as he headed for the group. Slashing at each of them as he dashed by. 

Gibbit: "Hmph, I hit all thirteen of those brats. Yet not a single one of them took any damage. They all blocked it, gibbit." *Smirk* 

He twirled his sword in his left hand as he strolled forward. Watching as Ellie and Luke make their way towards him. Both were in white clad ninja outfits. They were alike in nature and their forms shaped to that nature while still holding true to their Light Clan origin. 

Gibbit: "Hm-hmm hmmm… I haven't used my Mental Zenchi to see their levels. But it would seem that you're all beyond thine weak level of 20 on the Scale. T'is time for meh to increase it to 25. That should be good enough, gibbit!" *fwi-Fwish* *SWOOSH*

He twirled his sword about and placed it at his hip. Readying himself for the oncoming onslaught. 

Ellie: "Let's show'em, Luke!"

Both leapt beside Gibbit as he walked forward. Luke thrusted in with his bowstaff while Ellie made use of her short sword. Gibbit smiled and grabbed hold of Luke's staff while simultaneously blocking Ellie's sword strike with his own. 

Luke: "Hmph… nice grip." *FLICK* 

Gibbit: (He used my grip against me!?)

Gibbit found himself upside down suddenly. He watched as Luke pulled his staff away from him. Spinning around as he builds momentum for a huge strike. The blow causes Gibbit to flip a few times and land on his feet. But just as he was about to swing his sword at Luke, Ellie came in with a mighty roundhouse kick that sent Gibbit crashing through the trees. 

Gibbit caught himself and planted his feet into the ground. Flexing his power outwards, sending a wave of essence to the far reaches of space. He cleared the top layer of the maze, nearly destroying all of the plant sector of the maze. Forcing it to grow back. 

"That should do it!" He said to himself.

He looked up to see Ellie sitting alone as the others landed behind her. He couldn't seem to find nor track Luke's location. 

Luke: *FWIP* (I have to rely on my ability to create techniques of all kinds so long as I have the know-how. Then I can stick them within my scrolls and use them later with limited cool down sequences. Hmph… let's start simple then.) Scroll Master…" 

Gibbit: "What!? (When did the brat get behind me!?)" 

Luke: "Hmph… Dense Shuriken Star Shower!" 

He smirked underneath his oni-style mask. Firing off thousands of shurikens from within his large scroll. 

Gibbit: "Nrgh… these tiny things won't hurt me at allll!!!" 

He leaps back as he repels and blocks each and ever strike that comes his way.

Ellie: (Good, he's being pinned down by Luke's assault.) "Now then… Library… (My Storage Study has four studies within it as of now. But I'd be better off accessing the basic function of my study. Doing so will save me a lot of essence and strength for later.) Alrighty then, Book of Knowledge!" 

Gibbit: "Tsssk, this brat toooOooO!!?" 

Ellie: "I can use whatever prowess I'm COMPLETELY knowledgeable of! Now take this you mossy cow-beast! Storm of Razor Sparrows!!!" 

She released a huge flock of sparrows with razor-sharp talons and wings. Each bird had its own sentient nature and all of them were ready to kill! 

"Easier to commit a murder when it isn't me having to do it!" She proudly stated. 

Gibbit: "Those are creatures that are indigenous to the realms of the Machinelord Clan! H'What a nuisance, gibbit!" *SWISH* *FWIP* 

Gibbit creates Clones of his sword and began to use his dual wield while tossing the extra ones into the air. Juggling them at rapid speeds as he swings and chops the sparrows and shuriken to pieces. He continued to go about defending himself until he could see a clear opening. 

*Crick* *CRACK* 

Gibbit: "GIB!?!" 

He looked down as the floor beneath him burst open. Breaking to pieces as a young God comes flying out. 

Drake: "Tornado FIST!!!"

Drake struck Gibbit in the chin and forced him into the sky with a literal tornado! His all white robe flowed in the wind he created. He had a sash tied around his waist with the robe splitting down the middle and casting off to his sides. Flowing below his waist and drooping below his lower body as it hung. He wore a light gray, armored vest with a pair of white, baggy joggers. Paired with his white tennis shoes and all white gloves. His white hair was spiked up with a single bang hanging down his face. Almost like a super- ha, what? You thought I was going to say it? Come off it, man… you all know what I was getting at. 

Drake: "Do your thing, Zelibus and Billiard!" 

Both: "Right!"

Billiard Jr wrapped his fist with a Vibration type of essence. While Zelibus wrapped his fist with a highly dense emerald substance. They came together to pummel Gibbit into the ground. His stomach hit the floor first and acted as a cushion that bounced him upwards. He looked onward to see Morpheus and Kenny dashing at him from his nine and three. He called his sword and it's last standing clone to his hands and parried both young warriors. Spinning around to his left as he sent two waves of Slashing essence towards Morpheus. 

Morpheus: "Heh! You underestimate me far too much, big guy." *WOOSH*

He swung his right tonfa out and shot his essence into the two waves before they could ever make contact. 

"Inner Conflict!" 

The waves tore themselves asunder, but before they could dissipate completely. Morpheus swung his tonfa fully into the blast within a near instant. Tossing the disturbed essence into the air and wrapped his own around it. Then blasted them forward with his left tonfa with a hook-like strike. 

Gibbit: "NRGH!?" 

Gibbit turned to the side and sucked his gut in as the razor sharp waves of essence blew past him and blew up. The light from the explosion revealed the silhouette of a modern magician taking his stance behind Gibbit. He turned to try and defend himself but was forced into a kneeling position by a sudden heavy pressure. Kenny had summoned a magic circle that increased the weight on a person to the highest point required to force downward. Perfect for surprise attacks. 

Gibbit: "Son of a- 

Fong: "Demon Slasher!" 

Fong cut into Gibbit, cutting open a wart that was located on his chest. This same wart burst open with essence, blasting at Fong with a large ray of light. Susanne came out of nowhere to engulf it all within her gas. Condensing it and forging her own ball of light. She leapt forward and smashed it into his belly. Exploding as she made contact, making him fly further back. He crossed his arms as he stopped, blocking his view from Loraine and Sammy's pincer attack. 

Sammy: (I'll use my Alchemy to convert light into Lightning!) "White Lightning Palm!"

Both warriors place their palms on his stomach and send their essence coursing through his body. His particles were being ripped apart while his nervous system and tissue were being shut down and fried from the inside. His body started to fall and his frustration rose. For he had again misjudged the strength of these young deities. A mistake he was about to pay for. 

Gibbit: "GAAAAAAH!!! You ingrates are quite tough aren't you, GIBBIIIITT!!!" *BOOOOM* 

He burst open with a huge stir of essence. Making his power shoot up to the level of a 30 on the Power Scale. Sammy and Loraine were blown away in the process, but their efforts made him commit to an action that'd leave him wide open. Just for a long enough time to go by so that the others could prepare their attacks.

Ju'Mosi and Amera flank his twelve and six, blasting him from both sides. His body bent and morphed as the pressure slammed down on him. 

Ju'Mosi: (I thank Prono that Mera found that study when she did.) 

Amera: (Now Ju can easily scan my Black Hole techniques that aren't limited like Malikai's. It's perfect!) 

Gibbit: (This isn't nearly enough to end me, so why-) "What!?" 

He looked up to see Zoshen coming down atop of him. With one massive blast following close behind him. 

Gibbit: "Son of a…" 

Zoshen: "FALLING STAR DRAGON!!!"

Power Scale Level: 25.5(Clan Form Boost)

Birthright: Advancement 

Elements: Atoms & Omni(Use of all basic elements and more.) 

Study: Atoshen(Sleep)

Age: 16

Zoshen crashed into Gibbit head on and let the dragon swallow him whole. The explosion was wide enough to force the entire group back a few feet. It turned into a pillar with a radius of more than fifty miles. It's light peeked clear out of the sky and into the void of space. 

Gibbit: "35 oughta do for these ruffians. They're impressive youngins. The new era is scary…" 

Lancelin: "Not so fast…" 

Gibbit: "H'What!?" 

Lancelin: "Mistakingly thinking we'd allow you to NOT pay for your insolence is laughable indeed, mate. White Illumination." 

*KaBLAAAM* 

Gibbit: "Shi- 

Gibbit and the pillar were engulfed by an even denser, more powerful attack. It sent Gibbit to the ends of the planet in an instant. But it couldn't stop him from increasing his strength. He stood at the edge of the atmosphere as the blast came to an end. 

Lancelin: "I could feel within my own essence that his power increased quite a bit yet again." 

Morpheus: "Tch! Let's take the fight to him then!" *PEW* 

Everyone: "ROGER!!" *PEW* 

The entire group blasted off well beyond the speed of light. Getting to Gibbit in a near instant. He parried and repelled each of their attacks as he came across them. Everyone, including Gibbit himself flew into deep space. Entering the great maze of the Solar system. 

Maeli: "We've gotta tread carefully. He's on a whole other level now!" 

Morpheus: "We'll just have to find an open- 

Gibbit: "Just try it, gibbit." 

Morpheus: "Wha- 

He turns to face his six. 

Gibbit: "Clone Fist!"  

Morpheus was sent flying through the walls of the maze and into a nearby planet. Before him stood another Gibbit, ready to stomp his face in. Morpheus' eyes nearly came out of his head just before he rolled out of the way. The planet split in two from Gibbit's stomp. Morpheus ignored it and leapt onto the Gibbit's view. 

Morpheus: "It's best not to underestimate any of us like you keep doing." *SWISH* 

Gibbit2: "Hm!?" 

Gibbit's guard was broken and he was left vulnerable for the perfect follow up. 

Morpheus: "Heh! Self-Split Fist!" 

Two more hands came from the right shoulder of Morpheus. They formed two more arms with different types of viking-like attire. One even seemed to be female in nature. All three pummeled the Gibbit clone back towards the group. 

Kenny: "Good. *PEW* Self-Split Kick!" 

Gibbit & Fong: (Him TOO!?)

The real Gibbit was pummeled by three different magician legs. Sending him flying into his clone.  

*WHAM* 

They curled up as they made contact. Immediately resetting themselves as Morpheus and Kenny surround them! They block with their Corte Divino blades. Morpheus pulls out his tonfas and begins a massive barrage. Kenny does the same, but with his magician's cane instead. They fended off the two Gibbits while everyone else got into position. Maeli leapt into the fray with her blades shimmering with light. She was aiming for their heads. 

Gibbit: "Lowly wench, gibbit!" *TING* 

The Gibbits repelled Morpheus and Kenny then kicked them both away. Gibbit2 swung around and released a vertical slash coming down. The original Gibbit cocked back his sword, stretching it across his chest. Then he brought it above his head and downward on top of Maeli. It happened in a flash! 

Maeli: "DAMN!" *ti-TING* *SWOOSH*

She managed to block, but was sent flying in the process. 

Both the Gibbits nodded their heads upon eye contact. Then they flashed forward, knocking each combatant back just as they did Maeli before them. They came together and combined into one, standing in a stasis-like position. 

Susanne: "Damn, this guy is no joke." 

Lancelot: "Tell me about it!" 

Gibbit: "Tss~AHHhhh. You brats are remarkable, I will say that. You brats are powerful young Gods and Goddesses, I will say that. But… I am the Trimptree Master, Gibbit "The Mossman" Beel. And you will all yield to me." *STOMP* 

A giant swamp formed around everyone as his power fluctuated. He glared at everyone with a cold stare. His eyes glowing a like green color, flickering lighting all about from his eyes and surrounding his body. 

Nubia: "Oh, blah… what a bother you are!" 

Gibbit the Trimptree Master has shown himself to be a boss within the Maze World. Only… World isn't literal in this case. What turn will their battle take as the Civil War begins!?
