Beatle flexes his muscles and prepares to enter God-Mode Level 2.
Beatle crackles his knuckles and bones, flexing while he prepares to maneuver and weave around the battlefield.
Aurora just stood there, menacingly, staring at Beatle.
Beatle sighs. "Arachne. She-Devil."
They turn to Beatle, ready to listen.
"Help free Miguel's people... I saw their prisons here... After the factories were legally shut down, Ruru did not honor her deal. But I guess one of you already knew that."
She-Devil's eyes quiver.
"Free them. That is their right. Miguel? Wanna have one last training sesh with me? And do you wanna hear Pro's final lesson to ya?"
Miguel smiles, with eyes twinkling. "Mhm!" he nodded.
Beatle prepared to fight, taking out his blasters. "Reach for the stars..."
Miguel punches his palm. "Awehsomeh!" he smirked.
Meanwhile, She-Devil and Arachne shatter the metal doors open and see several starving peoples, Filipino in descent, shivering and shaking/
"Get out..." said She-Devil, as the people were visibly confused. She-Devil opens a portal and slams the metal wall, aggressively. "I SAID GO!!!"
They immediately move away out of fear.
Arachne did the same on the other side, but felt guilty each time.
She-Devil grabs her shoulder. "It... It gets easier the more you do it," she smiled with sadness.
Meanwhile...
Beatle and Miguel tagged against Prime, who blocked their attacks.
"Hey, Aurora!" Miguel dodges her blast. "What's a Malproperty!?"
Aurora growls and blasts at Miguel over and over.
Beatle laughs. "I'm beginning to think you want to be taken seriously," he smirked.
Prime angrily grumbles. "Fuck you... You and your self-righteous cause... You really think you beat me? I still have my army! I STILL HAVE BACKUP FACTORIES!!! I'll continue hunting your kind... You really thought I'd honor your deal?"
"Rhetorically, yeah..." says Miguel, as Prime angrily punches him in the face and Beatle catches him and helps him stand again by flipping him over like paper. "See that, bro? That's called being awehsomeh..,"
"It's called being overly dependent on others... Friendships and alliances? Diplomacies are only used to make weak people stronger... I should know... That's how I toppled Beatle's own little village... But I am no longer weak... I... AM... SUFFERING!!!"
"And how does that make you feel?" smiled Miguel, speaking like a therapist.
"Absolutely LIVID!!!" she bares her fangs. She charges as Miguel side kicks her in the face but she just grabs him and crashes him away.
Beatle blasts at her, actually managing to easily injure her each strike.
"Aw, Miggy! You DO wanna penetrate me!" she smiled. "LEMME GIVE YA THE TRANSACTIONAL FAVOR!!!" She cried, before blasting a hole in his chest with her trident. "ERADICASHUN!!!" she yelled like a British robot. "DOMINASHUN!!! DESTRUCSHUN!!! I AM THE GREATEST DEVIL IN THE MULTIVERSE!!!"
Beatle grabs her face. "Let me tell you something I AWAYS wanted to tell you for 800 FUCKING years..." Beatle pulls her closer. "Shut... up..." Beatle uppercuts her so hard she shatters reality in Hell itself zooming into the cosmos before teleporting back and angrily tackling him, clawing him over and over.
Prime roars, beating him to the ground. "ALL OF THIS!?!? THESE PALACES I BUILT!!!? I DID FOR YOU!!! AND YOU CHOSE THE WORLD OVER ME!!! EVERYTHING... I... DID... WAS... TO MAKE YOU... PROUD... LOVE ME AGAIN!!! AND YOU KISSED HER!!! I CAN'T STOP THINKING HOW YOU JUST FUCKED ME OVER WHILE YOU SLEPT WITH HER... TORTURED YOURSELF WHILE YOU WATCHED HER FROM THE DISTANCE WITH TYRONE OR SOME OTHER JERK!!!" Prime kicks Beatle over and over. She begins sobbing. "What... What am I doing...? I'm supposed to love you, Miggy? Right?" She sniffled.

"You don't get to call me that anymore..." he said, striking a chord in Aurora, remembering when she first told him this after their first battle... Now she realizes that it hurts...
"You never did..." Aurora returns to being Morningstar Prime. "YOU..." she kicks him over and over. "NEVER... DID!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Miguel dropkicks her. "HOCUS POCUS MOTHERFUCKER!!!"
Morningstar Prime's face cartoonishly deforms upon the massively powerful strike from Miguel's dropkick.
While a blackhole forms all over her face, Miguel just smiles, excited by the fight, while Beatle tears up, staring at her in stopped time, watching her true fall right then and there.
Beatle sighs. "I did... I did love you..." he said during stopped time. "I did love you and I wanted to say that kiss was a mistake. My mistake... I was naive... just like this kid... But that's not an excuse... I just wanted to say I'm sorry..."
The black hole dissipates and Aurora begins to tear up, only to grab Miguel by the ankle and crash him into the wall.
Morningstar Prime grabs Beatle by the throat. "I don't WANT your apology! I WANT TO BE!!! So leave me... BE!!!"
"Not until I find a way to save you... I almost did just now... Aurora... Please..."
"Beatle, don't you see? Our little lover's quarrel did all this! WASTED EVERYONE'S TIME!!! KILLED... MILLIONS!!! Why won't you quit!?"
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!!! In some way, I still do..." said Beatle.
Morningstar Prime stops, and Aurora, for a moment, returns. She smiles. "I love you, too..." she sobbed, as she grabs Beatle by the throat and slits it with her trident.
Miguel growls and beats her down over and over.
She-Devil returns with Arachne. They turn to each other and see Beatle unable to regenerate.
She-Devil grabs Beatle. "That bitch poisoned you..."
"I can... still... save her..." She-Devil sees Beatle's face for the first time, seeing that he looks exactly like Miguel and Prometheus.
She-Devil sobs, whimpering, saying "I'm sorry, Miggy..."
She-Devil slowly turns Human again.
Beatle smiles. "At least I got to save ya..."
She-Devil sighs, kissing Beatle, and Beatle reciprocates. He opens his eyes, crying, feeling the wound disappearing from his throat and transferring to She-Devil.
"Aurora... NO!!!" yelled Beatle.
"Whatever I meant to you in your world, leave it... I can't be saved..." she smiled, tearily. "I love you, Miggy..." she whispered, as she falls into Beatle's arms. "AURORA!!!" he sobbed. "NO!!! NOOOO!!!"
"Or... maybe you did... In a way... you did... save... me..." she whispered, before dying.
Beatle sobs. "Ruru..."
Miguel smiles and dodges, knocks Prime out, and blocks all of her strikes.
"PISS OFF!!!" she roared.
"I DON'T HAVE TO USE THE BATHROOM!!!" he roared.
Beatle catches her final strike and kicks her away. "Aurora... It's time to end this..."
Aurora screams. "NO!!! THIS... THIS WILL NEVER END!!! KRRYYYYYEEEAAAH!!!"
Beatle catches her fist and beats her down. "Aurora..."
"You kill other ones of my soldiers like they're NOTHING!!! Why do I GET SPECIAL ATTENSHUN!?!?"
"Because I love you..."
Prime punches him with a Bubble Hook and knee-kicks him in the ribs.
Miguel punches her. "A little bit o' love, Prime!" smiled Miguel, as Prime punches him away.
Beatle speaks. "Prime... all these expectations... desires... and wants we've had for years... We planned them... We made them... and it all led up to this... I always wanted to be a star from my novels... So did you... and that star is marked on our chests like a twilight... Brimming with hope for both of us... There are no factions... No fights... No normies... No cool kids... No bullies... Just people, trying to make sense of the world they fear oh so terribly. We love... We cherish the moments and make sense of what doesn't because that's how we cope... Why keep fighting, my lover of the atom? My spiritual relative? We are one... We are God's people and we will stay that way whether or not you believe... Because you don't have to believe to be loved..."
"SHUT UP!!!"
"Aurora..." He grabs her hand.
Aurora thinks for a second, and even pulls him in and kisses him, before stabbing him by the chest and kicking him down.
Aurora laughs. "That was so sudden! It's almost FUNNY!!!"
Beatle smiles and laughs. "Yeah... Fucked up, dude..."
Aurora blasts at Arachne but Beatle shields her and dissipates the energy blast.
Morningstar Prime sighs. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Alright... Worth a shot..."
Miguel growls angrily.
Beatle halts him by grabbing his shoulder. "Easy..."
Morningst Prime smiles and kisses Beatle again, before pulling away. "Go... You may leave... I... will wage war upon Maharlica-152... AND knowing the Reaper, he wouldn't rule... So, Prometheus' Empire needs a new King... Don't you think, Aswang Prince?"
Miguel's eyes widen. "What?"
"You want a fight? I'll give you one! YES!!! A BIG ONE!!! BEST THEATRICS IN THE MULTIVERSE, EVEN!!! MHM!!! LET IT BE!!!" she laughed. "Let's do this! I fight you and you fight me and we just fuck each other's brains out in the end! MHM!!! This will be an amazing sequel!!!" she smiled.
Beatle sighs. "Aurora... This is real life... This isn't some fantasy novel..."
"Oh, but it IS!!! It is... And Miguel is the star! And I'll enjoy every... frivolous second... But... for now..." She opens a portal, wiping the blood off her face. "Leave Hell. Return only for diplomatic reasons... But... Yes... That is it... Thank you..."
"For?" asked Beatle.
"Seeing me as still Human... But obvi I'm not anymore... But... I appreciate it..."
"You still love me, don't you?"
"Go, or I'll kill Arachne."
"Alright!" yelled Beatle and Miguel, as they walk out and Arachne followed.
"Do remember one last thing!" she laughed. "This is my best possible way... of spending time with every fucking you out there..."
Beatle is horrified, as the portal closes.
