Purugaret sat in a locked room, embarrassed from her last fight.
From the corner of the room, Atty emerged from a portal.
Purugaret: "Wha! Who are you?"
Atty: "I am Atty... Where am I?"
Purugaret (Depressed tone): "You are in my captor's mansion."
Atty: "That sounds bad."
Purugaret: "It gets worse. She has been trying to force me to marry her for weeks now. But I refuse to marry a woman like that.”
Atty: “So, you need some help busting out? I am stuck here until this device on my ankle sends me away.”
Purugaret: “That would be great. Can you bust this thing on my wrist? It shuts off my powers.”
Atty took a look around the room and saw a nail clipper.
Atty: “That could work.”
He activated his Support Mode and transmuted the item. He concentrated the concept on his index finger and thumb. Atty went over to Purugaret and pinched the device on Purugaret’s arm. He started clipping pieces of it off until enough was gone for the rest to fall off.
Purugaret: “Oh, thank you. Now, I need to get my hairpin, and I can escape hopping to another dimension.”
A gust of mighty wind blew Purugaret and Atty outside to a courtyard. Purugaret landed gently thanks to a small twister while Atty hit the ground and broke his left arm.
Atty: “Moaaaaaaah!”
Purugaret: “Atty! Leave us alone, Veritigal.”
A woman appeared in a diamond-studded dress.
Veritigal: “I won’t let you leave, Beloved. And after I deal with this interloper, I can take you back to your room…unless you want to go to the chapel.”
Purugaret: “Stop it!”
Atty (Stumbling back up): “Hey, find your hairpin. I will stall her.”
Purugaret: “She will kill.”
Atty: “Hehe, I almost wish she could. Now, GO!”
Purugaret reluctantly ran back inside the mansion, and before Veritigal could get her, Atty activated his Attack Mode. He grabbed her with a conceptualized hand. Atty then drove her into the ground with great force that she was completely buried. He chuckled a bit before the earth exploded beneath him. Veritigal emerged, enraged at a frightened Atty.
Veritigal: “I know what you are, homewrecker. You are a Métier Modder.”
Atty: “How did you know?”
Veritigal: “I am part of a multiversal-sized empire. We have seen your kind wandering throughout our territory and beyond with those clunky things on your…wrists. I ignored you lot because you did not interest me, but after what you did to my precious girl, I’ll see to it that your kind will be hunted down—starting with you!”
Atty noticed the area around was turning blue from an unknown light. He looked up to see one of this world’s three suns was falling. In a panic, Atty activated his defense mode before the Sun hit and made it vanish, conceptualized. An earth tidal wave erupted from the ground, attempting to swallow Atty. He countered by reverting the Sun into its physical form and blasting the wave into ash.
CW: "Congratulations on reaching…Level Three… Please choose a new mode based on your immediate environment or situation."
Atty: “Okay. Okay. Ah…”
Veritigal: “Take this!”
Veritigal tried to hit Atty with a jump kick, but Atty quickly dodged it. Her shoes were encased with sharp diamonds.
Atty: “I wish there were a Back Off Mode.”
The Com Wristlet accepted that request, and Atty’s Fifth Mode was activated. Veritigal was transmuted and then rematerialized in a distant location.
Atty: “It worked? It worked!”
Before Atty could celebrate, another sun was slowly descending above him.
Purugaret: “Water Ice, Alternate!”
Giant pillars of red ice rose above Atty and blocked the sun until both massive objects evaporated.
Purugaret: “Are you alright?”
Atty: “Yeah. Thanks.”
Veritigal finally returned and separated the two by splitting the earth and manifesting the rocks with the properties of flames to form a wall.
Purugaret: “Do you still have one more in ya?”
Atty: “Heh! One more mode is all I got.”
Purugaret: “Together then.”
Purugaret shifted to her Super Fist Mode while Atty activated his Leviathan Mode. Veritigal started creating stars with rainbow coloring and was about to launch them.
Purugurat: “SUPER FIST OF TALK SHOWS GUEST STARRING ATTY…Leviathan, let's talk about your newest book.”
Leviathan (in a casual suit and glasses): “Why yes, it is the story of a bold sea creature trying to find his place in the world. There are plenty of twists and turns. And the ending that will blow your minds.”
Leviathan looked at Veritigal before firing a giant wave of pure power that blew Veritigal straight into her mansion. The building was destroyed.
Atty: “All right!”
Purugaret: “Haha!”
Veritigal: “AHHHHHH!”
The last Sun in the sky descended and transformed into a giant avatar that looked like its creator as Veritigal went inside its core to control it. Atty was going to try to help because it was 5:25 pm.
Atty: “Okay, in two minutes, my arm will be fixed, and I will get all my modes back. Just stall, and I can come in to help win this.”
The CW buzzed and opened a portal.
Atty: “No! Purugaret, come with me.”
Purugaret: “…I am sorry, but I need to finish this. Only I have the power to take her down. Take care of yourself.”
Atty: “I-I will. Kick her behind!”
Atty was then dragged off to a new adventure.
