Part 1:
Beatle sighs, seeing Sabbath, who hugs him dearly.
Death Leopard sighs, seeing them kissing. "Good job. You won. Tch-..." Death Leopad walks away, throwing away a bouqet he bought for her.
Anna stands proudly on the podium. She grumbles with annoyance. "Hello... This decision was mine and mine alone. I believe that Morningstar Prime had shown enough aggression toward the good Aswang People, and, since we have reasonable belief that the Splooge is made from Aswangs killed from our Parliamental Empire and Aswangs, who our Emperor and Princess currently have not only ties with, but belong to them as a species and thus find them as an extension of their family. The empire will not only act purely upon vengeance. But with conviction that what they are doing, is wrong. We know that many worlds are fueled by the Splooge, and we will be shutting down numerous ones, but believe us, Beatle is working on a new fuel source. One that requires everyone in every dimension to work together. And thus, to end Morningstar Prime's reign over Maharlica-152, the royal family had decided to wage war upon the Hellish Worlds and their criminal empire..."
Many Aswangs cheered, so did many supporters, many sang and patired, but many more feared for the worst and rioted against such a provocative act: Waging War against a criminal Multiversal empire. They feared of what Prime is capable of.
Seven. JUST SEVEN soldiers were deployed by Morningstar Prime. They were called the Untouchable Prowls, since they are stated to be irreplaceable.
These include seven Miguels.
One Miguel represented the Major Arcana Card of Temperance. He was known as the former Superhero Uncle Sam, a Filipino-American man who grew up in the suburbs of Harlem. He lands before a world similar to the Roman Empire, and proceeds to melt the people with heat vision, slaughtering them to pieces.
One Miguel, representing the Tower, is a massive jellyfish called Extremarigerus. He cruelly swallows several satellites of a universe's solar system whole, one known for making alternative fuels from Splooge, using God's Mead instead.
Four Miguels land on Mars of the Prince's World, the concurrent capital. They sneer.
An army of superheroes land on the terraformed Mars.
The four Miguels sneer proudly.
Led by Uncle Sam and Captain Maharlica, Miguel's alleged mother. The Wonder Warriors stand proudly before them. These include Captain Maharlica, Uncle Sam, Myrmex, Master Excellence, Honey Badger, Doctor Vertigo, Adder, Bowmaster, Radarhead, Space Leader and the Star Dogs, and many more of their allies join them.
Uncle Sam and Captain Maharlica prepare their fists.
Myrmex activates her slings, wall-crawling in an ant-like stance to prepare to defeat her opponents.
Master Excellence begins stretching around.
Honey Badger activates her claws from each finger tip and growls.
Doctor Vertigo prepares his magical shields made of stars and crosses.
Adder prepares his guns.
Bowmaster prepares her trick arrows and bow.
Radarhead, a blind superhero with enhanced senses, prepares his sticks.
Space Leader and his army of ragtag space heroes the Star Dogs, including an alien rabbit, a Martian, a talking mushroom man, and a green alien archer joins the army.
These four Miguels... are dangerous. They include four Miguels, four alters of Prometheus, who curiously 2 joined Aurora's cause. Not only does this mean that some Prometheuses survived, but these four are deadly, knowing what they are capable of.
"Technically, Justice holder Animal isn't a Prometheus. He never forged worlds. He is almost like a Beatle," said Beatle. "These four... I don't think the Wonder Warriors can handle a speck of their power... Tell them to fall back... I'll handle it."
"They... came without your permission..." said Anna, horrified.
Beatle's eyes widen.
Beatle lands in Mars, seeing the horrible slaughter.
Bowmaster was torn to shreds.
Radarhead had his head crushed, seemingly one of the Miguels found it funny to deafen him and crush his head with two claps.
Adder was decapitated.
Doctor Vertigo torn in half.
Honey Badger was disintegrated.
Master Excellance... His state was unspeakable.
Uncle Sam was beaten to death.
Captain Maharlilca was defeated, knocked out, but still breathing.
Beatle carries her and teleports her away.
The Prometheus was in the middle of killing Myrmex, only for the Reaper to appear and angrily beat him down.
But the Sun Prometheus just slaps him away with ease, creating a shockwave.
Sun prepares to snap her neck but Beatle teleports her away.
Sun smiles. "Facing us is a rather provocative act..." smiled Sun. "You think Aurora would be merciful? Our leader won't be so happy..."
Beatle simply clenches his fist, facing against Sun, Moon, Judgment, and World.
"Our lessers are destroying worlds as we speak..." smiled World, their captain.
"Your lessers will be defeated..."
Meanwhile...
The Temperance holder, now called the Dirty Uncle, smiles cruelly as he decimates another world, only for something to reassemble it. The giant jellyfish prepares swallowing the world, but something stops it.
Anna's strings managed to save every fiber of the world by reassembling every organism and every person, every single atom from chemical destruction.
Anna faces the Dirty Uncle who sneers cruelly. "Hey! I know you're hurting... But this isn't the way!"
Dirty Uncle smiles and blasts heat vision at her. She barely dodges and is actually cut.
He flies toward her and strangles her.
Gerard growls and speeds into battle, slashing at him so quickly only for Dirty Uncle to break his spine with a single punch.
Dirty Uncle smiles, preparing to snap her neck only for Fred to blast at him over and over with his guns, but Dirty Uncle hammers the vehicle, injuring Fred from the inside.
Anna tries stabbing him with Demon's Blood but he catches it and throws it away.
Jedan strangles the Dirty Uncle who smiles and tears Jedan in half.

Chris angrily beats the Dirty Uncle, but Dirty Uncle laughs and beats him down.
"HEY!!!" Death Leopard appears before Dirty Uncle.
"Tyrone..." said Dirty Uncle.
"Do not use my slave name," said Death Leopard. "Anna. Get these idiots outta here..."
Anna nods and grabs them, with the Athenas dragging them into the Cool Dude Bus as they fly away.
"Ah... If it isn't the eponymous and integral DEATH LEOPARD!!! You really think you deserve redemption? Tyrones all end up dying villains."
Death Leopard sighs. "I loved Sabbath. I did... I want God to know... That I'm doing this not just for her... But for our friends... and even for Beatle."
"Doing what?" he smirked.
"Killing you..." Death Leopard throws explosive devices at him over and over again.
"Heh... You really think you can beat me...?" he smiled, as Death Leopard sprays Demon Blood into his face.
But, this barely affects Dirty Uncle. "The reason that worked on Beatle? He was holding back..." He grabs Death Leopard by the neck. "You really are an idiot if you think you can kill a god like me..."
Death Leopard smiles.
"What?"
"I finally... get to kill... an evil version of Beatle... It's kinda awesome, honestly..."
"Really? How...?"
"That Demon Blood... is... filled... with... nanites..." he whispered. "Breathe it in... Do go on..."
"I don't care..." He smiles and snaps Death Leopard's neck.
He begins gasping... before an atom bomb-sized explosion to leave from every corner of his veins, wiping out the entirety of Luzon...
Death Leopard, slowly dying, just gives a smile...
Part 2:
Beatle sighs, bleeding all over as the Sun beats him over and over.
The four Prometheus variants beat him senseless, as Beatle tries to block each strike, he stumbles almost with ease.
"ALL HAIL MORNINGSTAR!!!" roared Judgment, who warps out bubbles that beat him down.
Sun blasts heat vision into his face.
Moon telekinetically strangles and binds Beatle.
Beatle pants tiredly.
"How about you stop holding back?" smiled World.
"You very well know why..." said Beatle.
"Because you fear how the power affects that brain of yours..." sneered World. "The way you articulate those thoughts... are with fists... You got the devil in you, Beatle. You wanna kill them. I can smell it."
Beatle gives a horrified look, sensing something clearly wrong.
"Seems your friend died for you," smiled World. "Huh... Impressive. You were right about him."
"Shut... Up..." said Beatle, crying.
"Aw... What's wrong? Did losing your best buddy make you cry?" smiled World, as Beatle turns God Mode Level 2.
World smiles. "Now, he's taking us seriously..."
Beatle roars and strangles Moon, tears his head off.
Beatle roars and beats Sun to death, hammering his fist through his chest, killing him.
Beatle is unfazed by any of Judgment's attacks, proceeding to stomp on his head, killing him as well.
World just laughs. "Humorous! Now, go 3. Go to the truest God Mode. DO IT!!!"
Beatle growls angrily. "It is only rational to not do so... Since I wouldn't be needing to do so to kill you."
"How dare you mock me... You supposed to be you talkin' there... Or the Father?"
"What do you think?" asked the possessed Beatle, as he headbutts World who lands and sweeps on his feet.
"RESTRAINING YOURSELF!!! YOU DARE INSULT WHAT I'VE BECOME!?!?"
"Yes," said the Father, through Beatle's flesh.
"RAUGH!!" World hammers his fist into Beatle's face over and over, managing to make Beatle bleed. "ALL HAIL... MORNINGSTAR!!!"
"Oh, My Self you're loud..."
World beats the Father. "I AM WORTHY TO BE CALLED JACOB... AFTER I WIN THIS WRESTLE WITH YOU!!!"
"Jacob lost, fool..."
"RAUGH!!!!"
Beatle just tanks the attacks, only for him to feel the Demon's Blood to enter his veins.
"What's wrong, Old Man? Getting arthritis from all the Demon Blood in your kid's body?" smiled World, as he beats Beatle down. The Father is forced to leave, to avoid killing Beatle, and Beatle is beaten down by World.
"HEY!!!" Miguel appears. "Just woke up, asshole..." said Miguel.
With him is Gabrielle, who hides behind a rock, preparing some sort of trap.
"HAHAHAHA!!! And who are you?" smiled World.
"I... am the Prince of the Aswangs... I know it sounds weirdly sexual out of context but-..."
World laughs hardly. "He's an Aswang! Alright! Show me what you've-!!!"
Miguel transforms into Diwata State and hammers his fist into World's face, shattering it...
No... He looks more human than his Diwata State...
He looks... beautiful... Thinner...
This is a new form...
Beatle smiles, chuckling softly. "Truth is, Miguel's been training right after he was nearly assassinatd by those Seedsowers. He got so much stronger... Quicker..." he gasped. "Deadlier... This form is essentially a branched-off version of his darker Mad State... Having a similar strength but a different source... Rather than rage... It's his... optimism... I call this form... Wrathful Faith. Very similar to my God Mode... Think of it as a mastered Diwata State..."
Miguel is observed to be in his Human form, but with white hair that practically swims in the air as if he was underwater.
"You wanna die...?" smiled Beatle.
Miguel smiles and begins charging toward the enemy like a cartoon character.
World hammers his fist only to be beaten, turning into somewhat of a silly cartoon character.
Miguel shakes him around, creating a silly balloon sound effect before taking out a cartoon mallet and slamming it into his head.
Miguel pokes both eyes of World Hammer and happily laughs before beating him down.
Miguel begins dancing humorously, as a Davidic Star appears above his head, causing him to bounce up and headbutt World, causing stars to leave his head, and breaking and fracturing his skull, killing him.
Miguel laughs, madly, proceeding to run around cartoonishly, creating a tornado that shreds World to pieces. "KRRYAHOOOOO!!!"
Beatle smirks as Miguel blasts several punches like a cartoon boxer as a bell rings in the distance, echoing in the cosmos, with World dying completely, eradicated from truth itself.
Miguel smiles, as it is revealed that Miguel had used Gabrielle's web of strings layered out in the battlefield to turn World into sushi, killing him and even humorously eating him with chopsticks and wasabi.
Miguel smiles. "YAHAHA!!!" He twists his lower body and spins his legs like a helicopter, flying away as he walks out of the next few pages and lands before the jellyfish, turning him into jello and wiping him away.
Miguel's cackle, to the characters, can only be heard as similar to hyena barks in the cosmos, terrifying them and also giving them a sense of awe of sorts.
Meanwhile, the last member of the Prowls, just smiles while sitting on his throne... He seems to be another version of a certain character, from the first novell... an undead adversary in a clown suit. A horrible man... A very smart man with beliefs twisted by the constant deaths in his life... A Satanist who experimented on Human Soul energy... A monster...
MacJovial.
Part 3:
MacJovial turns to Doomer. "It's time, Doomer... It's time for your fight..."
Doomer does represent one last Major Arcana card... The Star. Beatle's true replacement... And... shockingly... A non-Miguel alter Prowl. Doomer is an ancestor to all Aswangs... The Father of the Filipino nation... Among the first Aswangs who rebelled against the Pantheon. What does he want? He wants revenge from every Pantheon... Including God Himself.
Miguel smiles, cackling in the dimensions as Doomer appears before Miguel.
Miguel smiles. "HEY!!!"
Doomer just stares at him.
"Why the melancholy, friend? PUT THAT FROWN UPSIDE-!!!"
Doomer beats Miguel causing him to spin around in a silly manner.
Miguel smiles, laughs, and dances around in the air.
"I will kill you, boy," said Doomer.
"Hihihi!" smiled Miguel, as Doomer remembered Kaptan's giggles and laughs.
Doomer angrily beats Miguel. "You... I now know why I hate you... I smell it... Pantheon blood..."
"Okay, budget Gorr the God-..."
Doomer beats Miguel down but Miguel just humorously turns himself into a towel and wrings the blood and sweat off his body.
"Now, now! Easy there, fella-!!!"
Doomer hammers Miguel's chest so badly that he is forced to go back to his Human form, vomiting so much blood as he begins suffocating and freezing alive in space. He returns to his Diwata State and beats down Doomer in this form.
Miguel begins bleeding all over as he zapped and zoomed from one universe to the other, but Doomer just tanks his attacks and beats him once more.
Doomer growls and turns into his true form of the Aswangs, turning into a dragon-like being, the Bakunawa, and beats Miguel down. "I have no blood of the Pantheons, but here I am, able to stand against one of their strongest members."
"Actually, I'm considered a low-level-... GLACK!!!" Miguel choked.
"My daughter died... So did my wife..." he wept.
"I know," said Miguel. "I read your file... I've been doing homework lately. God, is it boring, but you really learn so much, y'know?"
"Why...? Why did they die?"
"Because the world is cruel..." said Miguel. "The world hates us. Let's face it. They do... They don't see us for what we are... And that we are people. They see us as another problem they have to sweep under the rug or try to fix. They will never accept us."
"But...?"
"No buts... Just... that's it..."
"Why are you telling me this, then?"
"Because that is the truth. We can't be normal, and we have to conform to their world's laws, and we have to change for them..."
"But I don't want to be... not myself... for them."
"Exactly. Our forms right now... look Human... Look like them... to please them. But when they see that side of ours... The Aswang side... they scream... they fear us... they try to kill us... To fix us..."
"Then why not exterminate them... and the God that made us this way?"
"That's not why we're here... Maybe this is the challenge that He gave us... A challenge that makes us so much stronger than them... Made us something else... someone else worthy of so much more... Maybe He made us this way to inspire... to be role models... to be a spectacle not for amusement, but of grandeur. Respect. Dignity."
"But they hate us."
"Because others like us lately have caused so much pain to them. If we show them love... kindness... respect that we ought to have them give us... We can be together as one people... Please, Doomer... Please..."
"Didn't you murder your enemy? Why can't I have that?"
"He's alive... We put him in prison. Yes, I did... try... I tried so hard... But I know deep down... That isn't me... Ever heard of therapy?" he smiled. "It's a modern Human thing... Absolutely beautiful art... You should try to have some of it."
"Hm..." smiled Doomer.
"Now, conclude this war. Please."
Doomer bows. "I shall, master..."
"Whoa, whoa... Hey..." Miguel helps him up. "You're never anyone's owned. Got that?"
"Okay... My friend..." smiled Doomer.
