"Since the beginning of time, before the event you have come to know as the Big Bang, there have always been 6 singularities, 6 forces of ultimate power. Then the universe exploded into existence with the Big Bang and the remnants of these systems were forged into concentrated physical forms each with a consciousness of its own. These beings have come to be known as the Cosmic Elementals. Each being has mastery over one of the 6 elemental forces of the universe: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning and Metal. These beings are the most powerful in all of the universe and cannot be defeated by any normal being lest their existence be wiped from the face of the universe upon contact, and the only being capable of defeating a Cosmic Elemental is a Cosmic Elemental, or one with the powers of a Cosmic Elemental. Many eons ago, a great war was raged between the Daagons, the inhabitants of the cosmic ocean Varuna and their ruler Hiidrala, and Metallum, the Cosmic Elemental of Metal. With them were their greatest protectors, the Wind and Lightning Cosmic Elementals known as Tatsumaki and Kaminari. The two clashed in an epic battle that scarred the very universe itself, but before a victor could be decided Metallum betrayed Kaminari and attempted to take both their powers for himself in order to conquer not only Varuna, but the entire universe itself. In the face of this betrayal, Tatsumaki and Kaminari agreed to combine their power to face Metallum and end him, and in doing so they performed an ancient ritual known only to the Cosmic Elementals: Elemental Fusion, in which they would fuse into one new being altogether with both of their powers but at the cost of their fusion being permanent. With this they forged a new being with a new elemental force: Tempestatis, the Cosmic Elemental of the Hurricane. The battle was fierce and ravaged the universe, but in the end the battle was lost. Metallium was badly injured nearly beyond recovery but he had triumphed. With his dying breath, Tempestatis made a vow: even if it took him thousands upon thousands of lifetimes, he would see that Metallum would fall for his betrayal. However, that is not the whole story. What very few are aware of is that there are two other Cosmic Elementals who refused to take part in the war, two who refused to take sides because they were unsure of how the evolution or mortals would turn out in the end. These two were known as Illuminare and Tenebris, the Cosmic Elementals of Light and Darkness. As the war between their fellow Cosmic Elementals raged on and ravaged the universe, they had retreated into the shadows to observe how the mortals would react. They had wondered if the mortals of the lower realms of each universe were creatures that were truly deserving of the protection of the gods. I have observed the dealings than I would care to count. Mortals thrive, they quarrel, they perish, and they repeat this same cycle time and time again on an endless loop. At that time it seemed to me that for them to keep doing this would be the height of futility. I had even gone so far as to wonder what sense there was in protecting such flawed beings when they would consistently repeat the same tragic mistakes time and time again without showing any signs of developing, and ponder if it were to be more merciful on our part to put an end to such hopeless cycles once and for all. However, after the fated battle between Metallum and Tempestatis had at last come to a close and the mortals began to rebuild the remains of their civilizations across the universe, that was when Metallum appeared and offered a solution to their dilemma. They would pool their power into one point and create a warrior that was mixed of both light and darkness, intended to follow the spirit of Tempestatis for as long as he reincarnated through over one hundred lifetimes in over one hundred different races. Now the mission of the Warrior of the Hurricane has become much more grave, and if both Metallum and his warrior of darkness are not slain then the legacy of the Cosmic Elementals will be forever tarnished and lost to the memory of time."

As in the typical Total Drama fashion, Chris started the new episode with a recap of the old one from his place on the Dock of Shame "Last time on Total Drama All Stars: The teams were at last no more, and then it became a free for all race to the floating machines for a regatta to boat around the waters of Wawanakwa! But some of them floated better than others did for some reason, and I prefer to remain nameless, and Chef supplied a little bit of seriously dynamite entertainment! In the end Adam won the challenge, to my great annoyance, and because of some behind the scenes work Zoey ended up getting the Flush of Shame. 8 contestants are moving on, and soon one more will be gone. The question is, who's it gonna be? Stick around and you'll have to wait and see on one very special episode right here and right now on Total! Drama! All Stars!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(And keeping up with the new trend, once again here's my version of the full intro for the season)
Shots of four brand new spotlights popping out, following by the camera zooming through the camp past the spa hotel and the crappy cabin, up to the top of the thousand foot cliff, and then down into the lake below "Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, you guys are on my mind!"
Underneath the lake, Anne Maria and Leshawna are tugging back and forth over a treasure chest, which opens to reveal Cody inside of it, along with Mr Coconut and several McLean Brand Invincibility Statues floating out of it until they rose to the surface, where Bridgette is lying on top of a surfboard "You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see!"
In the nearby forest, Jo is jogging through the forest past the are where Dawn is meditating, surrounded by several animals, with Duncan just watching without giving a damn "I wanna be famous!"
In a nearby river, Alejandro and Heather are glaring at each other until their canoe is about to go over the waterfall, with Alejandro leaping out onto dry land while Heather goes over along with the raft "I wanna live close to the sun!"
Down below, Brick is standing on top of a cracked log doing sit ups until Heather lands on top of him, causing the log to give out and for both of them to fall "Go pack your bags cause I've already won!"
Scott is watching and laughing at this until Fang comes out of the outhouse confessional and starts chasing him "Everything to prove, nothing in my way! I'll get there one day!"
Pan over to where Chef and Adam are both just relaxing in lounge chairs in front of the Spa Hotel "Cause I wanna be famous!"
Mike and Zoey both sitting on the Dock of Shame staring romantically at each other, which is ruined when Sasquatchanakwa and the bear start to get into a slap fight "Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!"
Pan over to the lake where all 14 contestants (Anne Maria, Jo, Scott, Alejandro, Heather, Duncan and Leshawna on one side, and Adam, Brick, Bridgette, Cody, Dawn, Mike and Zoey on the other side), are standing on poorly built platforms holding jousting sticks and all preparing to duke it out "I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
The teams clash, Brick and Jo taking each other out, Zoey shoving Scott back, Dawn shoving Anne Maria back, Bridgette pushing Heather back, Cody and Duncan pushing each other back, Mike going up against Leshawna, and Adam locked in a power struggle against Alejandro while keeping his gaze solely on Mike "I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
The scene changes to the blackness of night, with Brick and Dawn holding hands awkwardly and gazing into each other's eyes, only for Chris to ruin the moment just to be a jerk "(Insert whistling tune as the song ends)."

To my precious daughter Dawn, and my dearest Adam, Alejandro and all of you.
Please forgive me for this, but knowing of the coming conflict I sent Bridgette's father, my dearest friend Daniel to entrust to you the item that Metallum seeks to fulfill his goals. If you had known of my intentions then I am sure that you would have tried to stop me, and for that I am grateful. I would say that I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about this, but the thing is that I'm not because I know it was for the best, and I am so thankful that I had this opportunity to give you my final goodbye even as my final breath escapes from me. The path of my life ends here, and looking back I've had a great many failures over the years. I was unable to protect my mentor or my student, and compared to the great deeds they've accomplished, my actions are trifling insignificant things indeed. I thought that I would have no legacy, but such a thing is not true. With all of you, I have found those who can inherit my will, someone who can protect this world and all other worlds in my absence, so I know that I can rest easy. I'm glad I was able to guide all of you, talk with you, laugh with you and call all of you my friends. All of you are what gave me the strength to walk this path for as long as I did. It is thanks to the existence of all of you that my life was not that meaningless after all. My final part in life, the story of one human being able to leave behind a legacy that actually meant something. It was just barely glorious, but glorious indeed. My story has at last come to an end, but yours is just beginning. And as I pass this message onto Daniel, as well as the Cosmic Fulcrum, to which he will pass on to all of you. Don't shed tears for me. Just focus on what has to be done and continue on, keep the spirit that brought us together alive. Don't forget the mistakes you've made for us, rather learn from them. Don't allow the mistakes of your past to destroy you, and never give up hope that the moment in which the universe is at last safe will come. And most importantly, be sure to keep the love and compassion that drives you forward alive. You have the greatest challenges of all still lying ahead of you, and if your demons are not vanquished then all people will once again be forced to live in oppression. So please keep on going, keep on living and protecting one another, for my sake, and for all of yours as well. And above all, look towards the future with smiles on your faces and courage in your hearts, for that is where the power of life truly lies. And if I may pass on one piece of wisdom to you, let it be this: Only one can remain.
Let it be known that all of you are my cherished friends, and I love all of you.
Aurora.
Adam finished reading the letter out loud to those who were present, those being Alejandro, Mal, Cody, Daniel, Bridgette, Brick, Dawn and Leshawna "So that's it, she's gone. She bought us the time we need to prepare for what's gonna come tomorrow, but now we're gonna have to fight them without her."
Bridgette wiped away a few tears and glanced over at Leshawna "I'm not sure how much you know about this, but…"
"I know enough to know what's gonna come." Leshawna let out a heavy sigh "She meant a lot to all of you didn't she?"
"Yeah, yeah she did. And she was Dawn's mother." Bridgette spared a glance over at Dawn and was about to say something, only to be stopped by her holding out a hand to her, but the message was clear 'She knows that now isn't the time for tears.'
Adam held out the letter and promptly incinerated it with a small blast of fire "She was more than just a friend to all of us. She was a teacher, a guide on a great journey, and more than that, she was like family to all of us. And now she's gone, another life claimed by Metallum, just like with Carlos." he held out a hand to Alejandro "I know what you're gonna say, we'll talk about that after this is all done and over with. But anyway she gave her life against Metallum in order to buy us the time we need to prepare for what's to come tomorrow."
"But what can we do though?" asked Brick.
"There's only one thing we can do. We have to make sure what she did was worth it. This is the fight of our lives, but it's not just about winning. It's about showing Metallum and his allies what we can do when we stand up and fight. I'm not gonna just stand around and lose everything I love to a bunch of fuckers who want to take me out just because I oppose them. I'm not backing down, and I know for a fact that none of you would want to back down either. Today is the day we fight not just for Earth, not just for the 10 dimensions, but for the entire universe. Whatever it takes, now are you in or out?" he put his hand out in front of them.
"I never leave a man behind." Brick put his hand in the middle with him "I'll stand by you to the end soldier."
"Alejandro?"
"It was never a question viejo amigo." Alejandro put his hand in "We'll fight together with honor and claim victory in tomorrow's battle."
"Bridgette?"
"I can't just let my new fiancee go out into a battle to save the universe on his own, there's no way I'm letting you die out there." Bridgette put her hand in "I won't let you die without living the life that you deserve."
"Cody?"
"I said it before didn't I?" Cody put his hand in "You've protected me for years, now I'm gonna be the hero that protects you."
"Dawn?"
"My mother swore an oath of duty to protect this world and its people, and now I shall finish what she started and honor her memory." Dawn put her hand in "I shall fight with all of you my friends."
"Mal?"
"I can't guarantee just who's gonna be in control when the time comes, but if I can help it then you can count on me." Mal put his hand in "Just be sure to kick his ass when the time comes for that."
"Gotcha. Leshawna, what about you?"
"I can't say I get exactly what the hell is going on." Leshawna put her hand in "But where I'm from brothers and sisters look out for each other and stick together even when shit starts to get crazy, so count me in."
"Glad to hear it." Adam summoned a Dragonfang and handed it to her "This oughta give you some kind of edge when the time comes."
"You really do know how to motivate people." Daniel noted "I'm sure Aurora was the one to teach you that skill."
"Carlos actually, but Aurora taught him so I guess by extension."
"Fair enough. However, as commendable as your speech is it doesn't change the fact that you still don't have the power necessary to face Metallum and come out on top."
"What do you suggest, more armor to power me up?"
"No, Aurora has given you what she could but it isn't enough. There's only one thing that can be done to increase your power enough to make a real difference."
"Second Origin?"
"Second Origin. I learned the same spell as Aurora that can force open the Second Origin within your body, but let me warn you now that while the Second Origin will give you the edge that you need, the process is both incredibly long and excruciatingly painful. Several hours at least." he turned to the others "You'll have to hold off Metallum and the others until he's ready, so we'll have to get started as soon as possible."
"I gotcha. Just give me a minute okay?" Adam turned to Brick first "So be real with me for a second, how does it feel?"
Brick held up the Shatterstorm "It does feel amazing, but at the same time it feels like it belongs to someone else."
"Well it doesn't. Not anymore." they paused, and then shook hands on it.
"Thank you for this, truly. I promise I'll do my best."
"That's why I'm trusting you with it." he turned to Dawn "It'll be worth it, that much I can guarantee." he received a nod as he turned to Cody and handed him the staff "Listen to me little brother, show them what the Hero's Chi can do, have some faith in yourself and be sure that you can protect the others with your life. Got it?"
Cody nodded "Got it."
"Good." then he turned to Alejandro and handed him the claws "As far as I'm concerned and as far as Carlos is concerned, at least what I know about how he'd feel, you've already done more than enough to redeem yourself for what you did in Total Drama World Tour, but if you still wanna make things right then do this for me. Give it your all, protect these two, and do some good."
Alejandro nodded "I understand mi amigo, I give you my word that I will protect everyone until you return, so be sure that you come back to us alive and ready."
"Good, I'm counting on you." then he finally turned to Bridgette and pulled her into a tight yet gentle embrace before handing her the trident, as well as Ascalon "I think I've already said almost everything I have to say back in the Spa Hotel, but I promise you, one way or another we will make it back here alive and ready. Just hold out for me until then okay?"
Bridgette gave him a gentle smile "And I'll be waiting."
"I know. Be sure to keep Ascalon with you, I don't want to take any chances with you, especially since I finally worked up the courage to ask you." he kissed her on the forehead and turned back to face Daniel "Alright I'm ready, so let's get going."
"So you are, and so we shall." Daniel grabbed Adam by the shoulders and the two of them disappeared in a white flash.
"Adam is right, we need to be ready for this." Alejandro turned to the others as he strapped on his new claws along with his old ones "By now each of us have felt the pain of loss, whether it be from losing friends, or losing family, or losing sight of what makes us who we are. Our goal is not only to survive, but to make sure that no one else has to experience that pain of loss. We have three enemies coming to us with power unlike anything we've ever seen, so we need to make sure that everyone is ready for this. We need to be careful and stand by each other, for this the fight of our lives, and we will win it, whatever it takes."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Morning came, the sun was once again shining over the skies of Camp Wawanakwa, and everything was calm and peaceful, until…
"Alright victims, it's time for today's torture- I mean challenge, and it's a really special one! All remaining contestants proceed to the McLean Spa Hotel pronto for something truly special for all of us!"
Cody let out a sigh as he started to make his way to the Spa Hotel, but stopped when something caught his eye in the form of Alejandro standing alone on the beach, staring out into the sea before him "Hey."
"Hola." Alejandro didn't even glance back at him "I take it you heard that Adam finally proposes to Bridgette?"
"Yeah, looks like one of us will get to be the best man."
"That is if he chooses us, and if we survive."
"Take your own advice, this is the fight of our lives and we're going to win whatever it takes."
"Yes, of course."
"...Are you okay?"
"Yes. No. Neither really. I like to think of this as me processing."
"Oh. So you heard about Carlos then?"
"The story of him succumbing to cancer was a lie that myself, Adam and everyone else were fed to cover the truth. He perished by the blades of Metallum, and he had that lie told in order to protect us both."
"Adam told me awhile ago, he said that I shouldn't tell you since you were still going through the guild of what you did."
"I was, and while part of me wishes to turn my anger on him, I know that it would not be fair of me to do so. As for Carlos…" he breathed a sigh "My greatest regret was that I strayed from what he taught me, and I ended up turning into my brother Jose."
"You've been working hard to redeem yourself."
"But the shame and memories will most likely remain with me forever, but regardless, my brother sacrificed himself to buy myself and Adam the time we need to prepare for when this day would come."
"Yeah, I know that feeling. But after everything that's happened, we've gotta put aside our grief and focus on the task at hand. We have to make sure it was worth it."
"And we will." Alejandro wiped away a few tears and his grief made way for an expression of renewed determination "Come, let's go and endure whatever pitiful torment Chris has in store for us, and then we'll go and save the universe."
"Right." and so they left, but as they did, Cody glanced over and noticed Mal go behind the Spa Hotel, and then disappear in a black and white flash "You think he's on our side for the fight lying ahead of us?"
"I believe it's too soon to tell, but I do hope that is the case."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A few minutes later, inside the Spa Hotel…
Bridgette looked around at the contestants, but quickly noticed that two of them were absent at the moment 'Adam isn't back yet, that much is obvious, but Dawn isn't here either… I guess she needed some time to griev over what happened to Aurora before the fight begins. Hey wait a second, where's Chris?"
"Just cool it girlie, you'll see in a minute." Chef told her bluntly.
"Is he going to bother waiting for Adam and Dawn to get here?"
"Don't count on it, Nature Girl creeps him out and Adam… well you know how he feels about him."
"We all know, he rants about him enough to make a girl's ears bleed." Leshawna pointed out dryly, earning a few nods of agreement.
"You've got it easy, you only hear the small rants. Dude's got issues." Chef promptly turned on a monitor, revealing Chris somewhere in the woods with a huge celebration setting in place "And here we go."
"Congratulations victims, you've all officially survived to see the legendary 100th episode of Total Drama! In order to celebrate this momentous occasion, I have an extra special challenge made specifically for today! Let's see here, I sure hope that none of you are allergic to rhinos, or fire, or poison, or smallpox, or gluten, or… how's this one pronounced?"
'The more things change, the more things stay the same.' Cody let out a sigh, but then his head snapped up as he rushed out and glanced out a window "Guys, hate to interrupt, actually no I don't since his challenge sounds mortifying, but we've got incoming!"
"Hey don't interrupt me, my 100th episode and I'll do what I want! Now then, hope no one is allergic to cobras, komodo dragon saliva, or something called black water, whatever the heck that is, but it sounds lethal so I say we go with it.
"Get down!" Cody and Bridgette suddenly threw everyone to the ground and then shielded using a two simultaneous domes, one made of water and the other of Hero's Chi, right as a series of powerful explosions started to devastate the island, turning it into it a scorched wasteland as a result.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Daniel quickly looked up as he sensed the chaos unfolding 'This sensation, it can only mean one thing… It's begun. They're here. Bridgette, please be careful, just hold out until we can get there and help you.' he looked down at where Adam was writing in agony on the floor 'And we will be ready, so then it will all be up to you.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Wawanakwa was left a devastated scorching mess as a result of the series of explosions, with any structures having been turned into smoldering wrecks, and whatever animals had survived were now running through the chaos trying to find somewhere safe to hide.
Alejandro was left holding up a large amount of debris to prevent Chef Leshawna from being crushed by rubble and drowned by water flowing in from the surrounding lake "You must listen to me, you must flee! I don't know how long I'll be able to hold this!"
"Just pipe down Jalapeno, I've got a contingency plan for emergencies like this, so hang on for a second! Canopy canopy canopy!" once Chef recited that, a black case was displayed before them, which he opened to reveal the Black Gorilla Blade, and he promptly started using it to clear away the rubble and forge a path for them to get to safety "You never know when the toxified animals are gonna break out from Boney Island and try and kill you in your sleep."
"...A sound logic I suppose."
"No arguments here." Leshawna noted flatly "But what about the others, Brick and Dawn, and what about Adam?"
"Adam and Dawn weren't present when the explosions went off, but Brick should be around here somewhere. I'll ensure that the two of you get to dry ground away from the chaos, and then I'll return and search for him."
"But what if he's in trouble, he won't be able to last through this!"
"With all due respect senorita, keep in mind that Brick was entrusted by Adam with his weapon Shatterstorm, so he should be able to defend himself until I find him."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, in another area of the flaming wreck that used to be Wawanakwa…
Brick slowly opened his eyes and pulled himelf onto one knee, groaning from the pain that he was feeling 'Oh man, what happened? The last thing I remember is Chris talking about the 100th episode, then Cody started panicking, and then… the explosion! I have to find the others and make sure they're okay!' he picked up Shatterstorm, which started glowing with golden energy in his grip, and he also picked up Ascalon from within the rubble, and he looked around 'Where am I right now? It looks like some kind of underground tunnel, Chris and Chef must have had these connected to the Spa Hotel! Alejandro, Dawn, anyone, can you hear me?!" he received no reply from anyone "They're either unconscious or too far away to hear me, I need to get moving." he was about to do just that, only to be met with the sound of growling in the distance "Hello? Is there anyone there?" he was met with the form of a Void Seeker charging at him, but he quickly cut it down, causing it to evaporate 'Whatever these creatures are, they're not human.' and once he saw more of them approaching him, he held up the axe and got into a stance 'I should've known Adam was serious when he said that the fate of the universe was on the line.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, in the open area that used to be the forest of Wawanakwa…
Now that the explosions had subsided, three hulking figures materialized on the ground, one being a hulking figure with metal blades sticking out of his body (Metallum), one being an ape like creature with white fur covering his body (Terrae), and what looked like the charred form of an fire ogre whose body was radiating crimson flames "So this is Earth. I've encountered far worse."
"I spent thousands of years trapped on this planet because of you." Terrae pointed out "These humans have both prospered and faltered, joined together and divided each other for reasons far too petty. They likely will never suspect their inevitable demise."
"The arrogant never do. Enough time has been wasted, the time has come to find the allies of the next Tempestatis and wipe them out."
"And what will you do until then?" Urere shot a glare at him.
"I will wait for Tempestatis himself to come to me, and perhaps end the lives of any of his allies that come for me before then."
"So let us do the work before you steal our powers for your own." Terrae noted dryly "Why am I not surprised by your underhanded tactics?"
"If I were going to steal your powers again, then I would never have given them back to you in the first place."
"Don't think this means we won't keep our gaze on you." and so both Terrae and Urere promptly disappeared from sight.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Meanwhile, with three of our four main heroes…
"Bridgette, hey come on Bridge get up. Come on Bridge, we need you for this one."
"Wha…?" Bridgette's eyes snapped open and she bolted upright, then cringed at the pain she was feeling as she found Cody standing before her, both of his staffs in hand, as well as her new trident "I feel like I got another dragon dropped on me."
"I wish I could have a dragon dropped on me." Cody held out the trident to her "Just throwing this out there, you lose this thing as much as Captain America loses his shield, then I'm keeping it for myself."
"Good to know." Bridgette accepted the trident "So what happened?"
"Apparently if you mess with Cosmic forces and all that, they tend to mess back just as much, maybe even more depending on how this turns out. Come on, let's get moving. We've got a long day ahead of us." so Cody helped her to her feet, and then they made their way through the rubble towards the shore.
Alejandro was waiting for them, armed and ready with his claws and a familiar sword in his possession "I'm pleased to see you're alright."
"What about the others?" asked Bridgette.
"I left Chef and Leshawna with Dawn, apparently she set up a barrier on Boney Island so that none of the chaos that is about to ensue could harm them there. She also evacuated most of the animals as well. About ⅔ of them from what I've seen. As for the rest of them…"
"...I see." Bridgette breathed a deep sigh and wiped away a single tear "So where did you get the sword?"
"You mean the Black Gorilla Blade? Chef handed this to me as I left them, he claimed that it would be best to have it with me when the time came."
"Considering that's how Adam beat M'Baku, or Terrae, back in Tanzania, he's probably making the right call." and then she turned her gaze toward where Metallum was just standing in place, not moving in the slightest.
"Is that him?" asked Cody.
"That's him. After the time me, Adam and Sir George fought him in the Cosmic Ocean of Varuna, I doubt I'd ever be able to forget him. He was a monster then, and he's still just as much of a monster now."
"So what has he been doing?"
"As of now, absolutely nothing." Alejandro told him flatly.
"Do you have any idea where Ascalon is?"
"Somewhere under all of this chaos. All I know is he doesn't have it, and considering it's capable of absorbing power as great as Diagon, I highly doubt theirs or ours would be too much of a stretch in this situation."
"Which means that he doesn't have it, and we need to keep it that way."
"You do know it's a trap right?" Bridgette pointed out.
"Yeah, but I doubt it will make too much of a difference. We have to face him or else we'll lose everything anyway."
"Good. As long as we're in agreement then." Alejandro promptly drew the Black Gorilla Blade from its sheath "Let's make sure he doesn't leave this planet."
"We have two others to deal with though."
"So we'll have to split up, locate one of the other two and fight them to the best of our abilities, at least for the time being."
"Right. Do we know where the others are?"
"From what I've been informed of by Dawn, Terrae is currently located in Tanzania."
"Where we fought him for the first time, and where he's gonna go down. Just leave him to me okay?"
"If you're certain you can handle him on your own. Urere is currently located somewhere near the Amazon Rainforest."
"My water and ice against his fire, just leave him to me." Bridgette told him.
"Very well. I'll be sure to locate Brick and Dawn, and together we'll stall Metallum for the time being, at least until Adam returns." they all put their hands in "Remember what I said, whatever it takes."
"Right." so in a flash, both Cody and Bridgette disappeared in a flash.
The Cosmic War was about to begin at last.
A/N:
And thus begins the Cosmic War, an epic conclusion to one of the arcs that I started back in An Underdog's Knighthood, with the three Cosmic Elementals of Metal, Earth and Fire. First, let me just start by apologizing for taking as long as I did to update this story. I mean let's face it, it hasn't made any actual progress since July of last year, but now that I'm going to be stuck at home for awhile for obvious reasons (as in the corona virus), I figured now would be a good time to try and get this story started up again.
I know there are a considerable number of people who didn't like the original canon 100th episode Zeek and Ye Shall Find, so I decided to include the fated showdown in this time slot, both to create something more exciting for the 100th episode, and to make up for the fact that the canon plot wouldn't work anyway due to there not being anyone who would want revenge on any of the characters like that, considering the factors of Zeke not being feral and Sierra having been snapped out of her crazy revenge spree back in Suckers Punched.
