24 - A Nightmare

Lusha decided to test how powerful Octopus Man really was. She removed all oxygen from his lungs, just as she did to Floran. Octopus Man instantly started screaming. "Ha, you're not really that strong after all." Lusha said mockingly.

Octopus Man was on the ground crying "I... I... I NEED A BISCUIT!" Lusha was confused. He was only crying because he didn't have a biscuit? Not because of the oxygen literally being taken from his lungs?

Kookakoo ran up to Octopus Man. "Here, have a biscuit!" she shouted. She then stuffed a spare biscuit she had down his throat. He swallows it and stands up, doing a heroic pose. "Much better." he declared.

Octopus Man then felt a tug on his pant leg. It was Floran who was gasping for air. "H...help!" she said in a wheezing voice.

"Oh no! She needs a biscuit. QUICK KOOKAKOO GIVE ME ANOTHER BISCUIT!" he shouted. Kookakoo nodded and gave him another biscuit. Octopus Man shoved into Floran's mouth and forced her to swallow. She suddenly felt better. It was as if the biscuit replenished her lungs somehow.

Lusha was truly impressed by how Octopus Man had not only saved himself, but also Floran. Lusha quickly snaps her fingers, causing the air around Octopus Man, Kookakoo, and Floran to get heavy.

"Octopus Man... the pressure is going to crush us!" Floran shouted. Kookakoo started crying. Octopus Man patted Kookakoo on the head. "It's okay... have a biscuit." he said, offering her a biscuit. She took and and began munching on it. She was much happier now.

Octopus Man then inhaled and sucked up the high pressure air, saving them from being crushed. Lusha was surprised Octopus Man was capable of doing something like that. "You know what. I'm not gonna just sit around using weak attacks first." Lusha said smiling. She then dug her fingers into her chest and opened up her skin to reveal cosmic void.

Floran was weakened by the high pressure, but looked up and began to speak. "What is that?" she asked. "I'm not just powered by planets. I'm a planet myself." Before they knew it, they were all transported into a new reality which was pure white. There was no up or down in this world. The concept of direction was inapplicable here.

"You'll never escape from me here, because here, I'm everywhere." Lusha declared menacingly. "Just as she said that, Octopus Man was holding open a wooden door floating in the void. "Guys I found the door." he said casually.

They all walked out of the void. "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" Lusha yelled.

They all reappeared at the tower and Octopus Man turned to Lusha and yawned. "That was all you got? I've faced molecules stronger than you. Seriously, the molecule boxing ring is a rough place." he said.

Lusha facepalmed, and let out a eerie laugh. "Even if my attacks won't work on you, you can never defeat me." Octopus Man walked up to her and his fist glowed with an ominous flame. Lusha's eyes widened at the flame. "T..that's the power of Turkmenistan! A power that can destroy anything!" she stated, horrified.

Just as Octopus Man was going to destroy Lusha, a loud voice erupted from the sky. "ENOUGH!"

The four of them looked up to see a figure, shaped like their dinosaur friend Boomerang from the other world they were in not too long ago. It descended to the sky, revealing itself to be a pitch black being with glowing blue eyes.

"Dinosaur man, is that you?" Kookakoo asked. The figure nodded and replied, "Correct. However, I had a conference with Catalina just yesterday. She had told me you were going to defeat the Triune soon and I knew I must help, so I awoke my eldritch form, Nightmare Boomerang."

Floran walked up to him. "Why did you not want Octopus Man to defeat Lusha?" she asked, staring at him intently. "Because it is unnecessary." Boomerang replied. "My nightmare form just so happens to be 44th dimensional, so I can allow you in myself." he concluded.

Lusha smirked. "Well Octopus Man, you really do have people who can help you out of anything huh?" he asked rhetorically.

Octopus Man looked at her in disgust. "Absolutely not. I hate this dinosaur." Boomerang instantly started crying. Kookakoo started petting him. "Shh, don't cry dinosaur guy... have a biscuit." she said calmly. "Yay!" Boomerang said happily.

Lusha just smiled. "Well just so you know. The power you have could easily kill me in a single blow. You are 100% worthy of defeating the Triune." she explained. At that, Boomerang, who was now in his nightmare form, spit on them."

"Ugh gross. What was that for?" Floran asked. "It's 44th dimensional spit. You can all enter now." Boomerang responded with a smile.

Octopus Man, Kookakoo and Floran looked at each other and nodded, before entering the tower. "I'll be out here waiting for you to win." Lusha said with a smirk. "Yeah, me too!" Boomerang exclaimed.

Before entering, Kookakoo turned around and screamed in fear. "AAAH A DINOSAUR!"
