139.) Susong'nn.

Gibbit: "Enter my swampland and be enveloped in its shady mists, gibbit!" 

Susanne: "Band together everyone!" 

Morpheus: "Kenny!" 

Kenny: "Right!" 

Both boys go dashing at Gibbit as he unleashes his mighty technique. Both enter a full frontal frenzy. Forcing him back inch by inch. They were so hell bent on landing a decisive blow, they completely overlooked the fact that they were now trapped within the main base for his swamp. Stuck there with Gibbit and no real way to exit as of yet. Gibbit was very pleased with these developments. 

Gibbit: "You two fools have got to be joking! You're now trapped here with me and no one else. The fact that you are two of my targets makes this even better, gibbit!" 

Kenny: "We're your…" 

Morpheus: "Targets!?" 

Gibbit: "Yesss… now succumb to my will! Presence Zenchi!" 

Morpheus: "Shit!" 

Kenny: "Counter, Morphy!!" 

Both: "Presence Zenchi!!!" 

Their two waves of essence clashed head on with Gibbit's own. The force behind the clash waddled and weathered the trees around them away. The others within the group could feel their essence and attempted to head to its location. Only to be stopped in their tracks by a clone of Gibbit. Each one was a bit different with certain ones holding Birthrights of their own. More than likely the work of Gibbit giving them a study from his arsenal. 

Kenny: "Tch! This oughta give everyone our location." 

Morpheus: "Yeah, that's for sur- 

Gibbit: "You're wrong." 

Morpheus: "What do you mean!?" 

Gibbit: "Each one of your little friends was separated within this swamp. That's why I separated all of you with that blitz from earlier. That was so I could send a clone made by a mixture of my Birthright, Element, and Study. The study is that of Cloning too, but it's a storage study. And I've stored more than twenty studies over my many years. EACH of my Clones have a Birthright fueled by a Study of my choosing. Heh! Now be blown away!" *FWISH* 

Morpheus & Kenny: "NRGH!!" 

Their combined Zenchi was shredded and overpowered. Blowing them away and deep into the swamp. He chased after them quickly, running into Morpheus in his quake. 

"Damn fat bitch!" Morpheus yells as he rushes in. Clashing fists with Gibbit in a furious hand-to-hand exchange. Morpheus blocked all of Gibbit's rapid jabs. He used his right wrist and forced Gibbit's left hand upwards as he came in for a strike. Morpheus proceeds to land a stab into the stomach of Gibbit, though… he couldn't manage to pierce it. He instead formed a fist and performed the one-inch punch. Gibbit was blown back a few feet and left wide open. Morpheus flashed in and kicked Gibbit deeper into the swamp with his size '11' black, leather boot. 

Gibbit: (Amazing! A mere sixteen year-old boy has a better skillet in martial arts than even I!? He's a monster in his own right, and the one behind me has an essence pool equal to Sir Morris' own!) "Sorry, but you won't be hitting me with that stick, gibbit!" *Vwimp*

He brought about a large force shield that blocked Kenny's oncoming attack. 

Kenny: "Damn!!" 

Gibbit turned his force shield into a wave of essence and flexed it outward. Consuming all around him as he shredded the swamp apart. Morpheus and Kenny were stopped in their tracks without fail. Morpheus' gray fur pelt danced in the wind. His black baggy, combat-style cargo pants folded and creased as he stood his ground. He flexed all his muscles and stretched out his sleeveless compression shirt a bit. Blasting forward with his claws at the ready. 

Gibbit: "You missed, young Gate of Strife!" 

Morpheus: "No matter. (I already marked him earlier!)" *BING* 

Gibbit: "HM!?" 

Morpheus' black fingerless glove had an insignia on it that looked like a Mayhem Fiend. The same insignia shined brightly on Gibbit's stomach. Morpheus' fist flashed forward and ended up on Gibbit's stomach. He sat in shock as he watched Morpheus blast essence into his stomach. The force burst open, but Gibbit inhaled and used his stomach as a wall. Morpheus slid back, the red sashes wrapped around his shoulders and bicep/tricep areas danced as he did. 

Gibbit: "You're mine!!" *PEW* 

Gibbit charged in with a mighty right hook that missed its mark. Morpheus dodged that and the next five hooks that followed. He countered with a well timed kick to the jaw, but all he hit was a well placed wart. 

"Th-They can move!?" Morpheus thought to himself. 

Gibbit made the wart explode and force Morpheus' leg to crash into the floor. Even then, he stood his ground with his right leg placed well in front. He blocks a wild haymaker from Gibbit's left arm. Eleven more came flying at him that he fends off as he slides back. This weakened the ground and allowed Morpheus to lift his leg from the floor. He took a step back and flashed his right fist forward. Striking Gibbit in the stomach with a blow he wouldn't feel. He set yet another mark on the big guy's gullet. 

Gibbit: "How can one boy be so damn good at close quarters combat!?" *FWIP* *SWISH* 

Morpheus: "One who could already read the books of Shiishii and Kishin when he was only six months old!" 

Kenny: "Wait…" 

Gibbit: "Ah, so you were once a part of those kids, eh? The Babies of Chaos!" 

Moprheus: "Yeah, but I revoked that stupid title. I'm a Gate of Morzick! Let Baby Beel hold onto such a thing!" *FWIP* 

Morpheus blocked another haymaker with his left forearm. Punching it away with his right fist, then going on to blocking a left hook with that same arm. His left hand had the insignia, but this time the light was really intense. It allowed him to repeatedly copy the position of multiple  Mayhem Fiends at once. Luckily they were all attacking the ragdoll dummy that represents Gibbit's body in their realm. More than fifty blows met with Gibbit's stomach underneath the radar. It took more than a second before he could feel them all. Getting blown away as a result of this. 

Gibbit: "GAAAH!!" 

He yelled as he slid back multiple meters into a small pond that was created by their earlier clashes.  

Morpheus dashed forward, his red headband dancing in the wind. His yellow eyes glaring at Gibbit through his white, wolf mask. Gibbit blocked his attack with his arm coated in dense Presence and Physical Zenchi. He flexed his power outward and knocked Morpheus back. Only to be blitzed by Kenny and his magician's cane. 

Kenny: "Magic Circle, Force Palm!" 

Gibbit: "Damn… gibbit." 

*SMACK*

Gibbit was sent flying into the lake that was beyond the murky fields of his swamp. Kenny twirled his cane about and held his arm back. Holding the cane in an upward position, charging a large amount of essence within it. Morpheus held his left tonfa to the cane and charged his essence as well. It was well overdue for them to perform a magnificent combo move. 

Morpheus & Kenny: "Magical Mayhem… 

Gibbit: "Tch! Damn brats really are good, huh?" 

Morpheus & Kenny: "Mana's Strific Wave!!!" 

Their attacks ripped everything apart as it rapidly traveled towards Gibbit. 

Gibbit: "Very nice, very nice indeed. But I'll show them the difference right here and now! Corte Divino, come to me! Be wrapped within my Nature and bless these fools with a… Divisor de Viento!"

Gibbit sent a heavy slash straight down the middle. It cut straight through their attacks and passed between Kenny and Morpheus. Continuing down a path of destruction as it swept through the swamp and cosmos as it exited. 

Kenny: "Heh, looks like the swamp can regenerate." 

Morpheus: "Yeah, and this bitch here isn't giving us an inch." 

Both: "Eh, whatever!" *PEW* 

Waaay over yonder within this massive swamp… 

Susanne: "You underestimate me too much, Gibbit. I'm the strongest member of this group and… I'm a Beel as well. Not just any Beel…" *Grip* 

She pulls down her floral patterned scarf, shining with its rainbow translucent look that was covering her face. Revealing her smirking lips that were covered in dark blue lipstick. Her violet-blue eyes were lowered and reflecting a look of "uninterested". As she lowered her scarf to reveal her neck. One could see the tattoo of the Senkozen family sitting pretty. With her tiara made of essence sitting atop her head. She truly looked like a battle-ready princess of light. Standing tall as her white, knee-high stiletto boots stood on the head of the evaporating Gibbit clone. 

Susanne: "I am the daughter of Diane, granddaughter of Elizabeth. Who… probably doesn't recognize me with the fact that she hasn't seen me since I was four. Yes, this also means, I am the great granddaughter of the Great Xenophia Nichols-Senkozen. You will fear my growth!" *STOMP*

She smashes his head into dust, smirking even more as she stares at the remains. 

Susanne: "Now then, time to collect the group. Gas Master: Cloud of Four Faces!" 

She turns herself into a cloud of gas and splits into four as she enters deeper into the swamp. The four clouds form into two women who look almost like they could be her sisters. They wore twin rompers that had matching floral patterns to Susanne's scarf. They wore blank, black and white masks. With fingerless gloves to match. Their heels were pearly white in color and sharpened to the 'T'. The last clone had a masculine figure and wore a white cloak with a hood. 

Susanne: (I've trained with both Zenki and Morzick as I studied abroad. Their essence was stirred into my body, fusing with me and my DNA. I've become an adopted Gahwardian in a way and with that extra leverage, I've composed a technique that's equal to a Gas version of Self-Split. Using my three additional personalities, and my ability to condense light with my limited creation technique to add to it.) "Heh!" 

Each clone jumped into the forest with Susanne. She was the first to reach a comrade in her quake. 

Susanne: "Ju'Mosi, allow me to assist you!" 

Ju'Mosi: "Be my guest!" *Fwip* *Fwi-FWISH* 

Ju'Mosi used his control of force to create solid, blunt weapons by condensing his essence. Using them to keep Gibbit's clone at bay. The clone itself had the power of water and used this to create weapons of all types. Throwing them and swinging them at Ju'Mosi in an attempt to overwhelm him. Susanne took notice of this and quickly made her way to Gibbit's six. Sliding below him and tripping him from behind to throw him off his feet. Gibbit was perplexed as his body left the ground.

Susanne: "Do your thing, Ju'Mosi!" 

She commanded as she spun around and rose to her feet. 

Ju'Mosi leapt into the air and smashed his Gravity wrapped fist into the gullet of Gibbit's clone. Smashing him into the floor where Susanne pressed her light wrapped foot upon his stomach. Ju'Mosi landed and did the same, smashing his into the God's stomach. Then they both let loose and blew his entire being into oblivion. 

Ju'Mosi: "Let's move?" 

Susanne: "Yeah!" 

Both young warriors flash through the forest in an attempt to find the others as they close in on Morpheus and Kenny. Her male clone made it to the battlefront with Drake. Drake was busy using his Holy Knight ability to take the advantage his sword was stabbed into the Gibbit clone's foot. Immobilizing the big lug. But he was quite durable and wouldn't go down. 

"Use a mixture of your Element and Study to pulverize from above. I'll handle the rest!" The man says as his fist turns into a violent red light. Drake went along with his plan and wrapped the power of a hyper typhoon around his fist. Zenchi was added to the mix to make his hit all the more devastating. They hit him high and low and split him in half as he turned into dust. 

Drake: "Huh… thanks for the support, uh…" 

???: "The name's Tsu'Zann. Let's head out for the others!" 

Drake: "Mhm, alright then, lead the way." 

Tsu'Zann: "Mhm." *Nod* 

They both dashed off into the swamp. Meeting up with the twins almost instantly. They had Ellie and Luke in tow. All six of them blast off into the swamp at full speed. Tearing through the place as they smash each and every clone to pieces. Recruiting more and more comrades as they dash forward. Susanne and the others met up with them about halfway through. Their massive group formed a stream as it headed towards the Morpheus and Kenny battlefront. 

Susanne: "Let's go in there and kick his aarse!!!" 

Everyone: "YEAAAAH!!" 

They ran into the destroyed portion of the swamp and bore witness to the felled bodies of Kenny and Morpheus.  Both were barely conscious as they struggled to get up. They were still in their Clan Forms even. Gibbit stood above them as he held his sword above his head. Looking frustrated with his awkward smirk being worn on his face. 

Gibbit: "Your growth is fearsome. Both of you are basically kicking the door into the realm of the 30s. To believe you'd force me to show my true strength!" 

Susanne: "So you actually beat these two monsters?" 

She says as she absorbs her Clones back into herself. Their new info and techniques given to her mind and being. Her power rose a bit as a result.

Gibbit: "Seems we have another one, no… you actually DID breach the thirties. You dare call them monsters when you yourself are one of even higher caliber? Shame." 

Susanne: "Ha! Well I guess I am. But I'll be trying my best to beat the living shit out of you. Right here right now-

Morpheus: "Fuse! Y-You have to fuse right here. We're too weakened now to do so. H-haven't… we haven't had the… h-had the time to… do so!" 

Kenny: "Y-Yeah, and… I-I know the perfect candidate. Ayo… F-F…F-F… FOOOONG!!!" 

Fong: "What!?

Kenny: (Look at her neck with your Zenchi!)

Fong: "Hm… *Glare* (Oh… I seeeee! Roger!)" 

Kenny: (Good!)

Fong: "Let's do it Susanne.. we're perfectly compatible." 

Susanne: "Ah… you've got quite the eyes. Yes, this will do. 

Gibbit: "You prattle on and on, don't you, gibbit?" 

Susanne & Fong: "You're about to see a whole lot more than that!" 

Gibbit: "Hm? (Their essence seems… off, gibbit.)"

A light dawned on the crew and Gibbit. For Fong and Susanne combined to become one whole being. She was easily six foot six with her heels on. One could see that much at least within her bright silhouette. She fired an infected light bullet at Gibbit. It shot clean through his right shoulder. 

Gibbit: "Ah… so this will be quite the challenge for Gibbiiit." *Smirk* 

The woman's figure could be seen as the light dimmed and dispersed. She wore a rainbow colored flame pelt. It had translucent parts that flowed to her ankles. Her heels were attached to dark red, Phoenix-style greaves that went all the way up her thighs. They had the insignia for the Great star plastered on the knee plates. Her skin tight breast plate and torso armor matched her greaves and bracers. Her shoulders were wrapped with bands made of white fire. Her upper arms were showing off whitened gold bands. Her white fur collar and scarf covered the lower section of her face. Her eyes were lined with white eye shadow that was applied with a very faint touch. Her eyes were cold and sharp as she looked at Gibbit. She looked toward Kenny and Morpheus as they struggled to get up and snarled. Her red, demonic pupils oozed a green flame. The tips of her white braids that hung down her face were decorated with green flames. Her straight back braids atop her head glowed of a white light. And the free-flowing hair that was her bun, it burned with a light green flame. Its center was darkened and sickening. Easy to tell it was fueled by Bubauno. Her tiara sat to the side, tilted like a fitted cap on the head of famous rapper, T.I of Earth 52. Her white Angelic wings of flames shine brightly. Dazzling everyone with its intense glow! 

???: "With the extra fuel from Bubauno, I'm someone you can't stand against, Gibbit." 

Gibbit: "And who might you be, young Goddess, gibbit?" 

???: "Hahaaaa! I'm the fusion of Susanne and Fong! Call me the Dutchess of Disease, Susong'nn!" 

Power Scale Level: 38(Clan forms and Bubauno boost. Results will alter.) 

Birthright: Fuel Fiend

Element: Infected Phoenix Light

Study: Infected Phoenix Fire

Age: 1 sec and counting

Gibbit: "Her power might as well be equal to my own!" 

Susong'nn: "Hmph… let's start!" *FLASH* 

Morpheus: "Damn… They're fast!" 

Kenny: "Yeah!" 

Gibbit: "Ha… Barely, gibbi- 

Susong'nn: "Pffft!!" *SWISH* 

*SMACK* 

Gibbit was sent flying through a huge cluster of trees. Crashing through each and every obstacle as the essence around him decimated the rest. His tumbling rampage crushed his swamp life for literal miles. 

Gibbit: "Damn!" 

Susong'nn: "Yo GIBBIT!!" *STOMP* 

Gibbit: "Hrmn!? What is she- GAH!!" 

Susong'nn: "This swamp seemed to irks the nerves of both my halves. So it irks me! Hahaaaa… Crushing Gas GIANT!" 

Gibbit: "Dammit aalllll!!!" 

Her foot released a ton of essence into the floor beneath everyone's feet. The essence of Bubauno could be seen mixed into the formula. The swamp was engulfed in a a raging fire that turned into the surface of a Blazing star. Susong'nn stared into the eyes of Gibbit from miles and miles away. He could easily tell she was smirking under her mask. She flexed her essence when she opened her eyes as wide as they could go. Her gas giant instantly tarnished the rest of his swamp and absorbed the remnants. It turned into a small ball that blinded Gibbit, so that he wouldn't see the approaching danger. 

Gibbit: "Her attack is too flashy, gibbiiit!" 

Susong'nn: "And your defenses aren't worth shit." 

Gibbit: "Gibbit?" *kaBLOOOOOM* 

Her attack exploded and erased the entirety of the universe they sat within. Billiam could feel this, he and Morris added their essence into the reservoir and increased the size to an entire multiverse while also repairing the original universe. Susong'nn smiled at the pinpoint of their essence signature. She just knew they could see her staring at them. 

Billiam: "C-Can Gibbit win this, mate?" 

Morris: "I'm not sure, honestly. Nevah expected such a creature to show up within that group. They're all new age monsters." 

Elizabeth: "It's a damn shame I'm so blind all the time." 

Billiam: "H'What do you mean, Auntie Eli?" 

Elizabeth: "The girl, Susanne, the one that makes up half of that young, powerful Goddess there. She's my damn granddaughter." 

Billiam: "Well damn… well uh… your granddaughter's a fockin' nuisance, ah?" 

Elizabeth: "Heh, well she is part of the generation said to be closest to the original, Era of Chaos Deities in terms of potential. So for people like us, these are bad times." 

Morris and Billiam: "Mhm…" 

Back on the battlefield, the gang sat in the void of space where Susong'nn incinerated the entire solar system and its mazes in an instant. She glared at Gibbit and dashed forward. Gibbit snarled and dashed her way with zero hesitation in his step. Their fists clash and repel one another. Both had the same idea of resisting the force and staying put. Gibbit was a bit startled and taken by surprise. This left him open and vulnerable to her rapid light jabs from the left. His body folded and danced as her hits connected with a small delay. He was blown into a star a few thousand astronomical units away. 

Susong'nn signaled the team to stay put. Flashing forward into the star as Gibbit hoisted himself upward. She stepped on his chest with her heel and revealed her full lips, covered in red lipstick. Her flaming eyes burned literal holes into his forehead. 

Gibbit: "Tch… your power is an anomaly. But it's nothing Gibbit can't handle!" 

Susong'nn leaned down as she grinned at Gibbit. Putting her mouth towards his ear just before she spoke… 

Susong'nn: "You're going to find that hard to do, Sir Gibbit." 

She leaned up as she pulled her scarf back up. 

"Welcome to the realm of… Susong'nn!" 

Gibbit has gone about facing the children with his full might. But in his decision to do so, he helped forge a new fused warrior. Susong'nn enters the verse with the Civil War about to begin!
