🎣Wally🎣

Wally turned to where Wanda was supposed to be and whispered, “Thank the goddess I went before this all started, or I'd have wet me daks just now,” He blinked twice, realising that he was standing alone, speaking to air. Shrugging, he looked back at the howling wolf monster. It seemed safe enough now, so he stayed to finish his smoke.

Not even two puffs later, he was interrupted again. To his side, she saw the giant naked guy running over, "Oh bugger me sideways, what now?" Wally moaned.

The naked bloke was still wearing the soul-sunglasses, despite the rest of him being bloody and bruised all over. He held a fancy sci-fi pistol pointed at the wolf-lady. Giving her a wide circle, he made his way over to Wally.

"Coming to give me grief too have ya mate? I’ll do to you what I did to her if you are." Wally threatened, pointing at the howling mess of a woman with his coat hanger.

"No, I'm friendly. May I approach?" The man replied.

"No."

The man came over anyway and smiled, making Wally’s heart flutter a little. Damn the dude was handsome. He stopped just outside of coat-hanger range and said, "I didn’t recognise you earlier, but now I do, you must be Tomas! Boy am I glad you’re safe!" Laughing and gesturing to the weeping wolf person, he continued, "I don’t know how you did it, but well done defeating The Matriarch. I know how horrible she has been to you. If anyone deserves the honour of putting her down, it's you. Here, use this." He passed the sci-fi pistol over

Not knowing what else to do, Wally tucked his coat hanger back into his pants and accepted the pistol.

The big guy suddenly winced in pain and held his chest, "Normally, I’d stay and watch, but if you'll excuse me, I gotta go see about a girl." The handsome pile of muscles beamed and with a casual two-finger salute, strode off into Wanda's shop.

Wally watched him go, shook his head, and murmured to himself, “What’s that even mean?” It was still shocking how damn charming the bloke had been.

He finished his cigarette and pulled a fresh one from his pocket. It was a bit awkward juggling it and the sci-fi pistol at the same time, but he managed to get the smoke in his mouth incident free. It was then that he realised that Wanda had left with the lighter. As he went to grab the cigarette out of his mouth, he accidentally pulled the trigger of the pistol. It shot out a laser that lit his cigarette for him.

"Oh that's nifty," he said. He pointed the pistol up and fired off several shots into the flying saucer. He laughed at the novelty of his new lighter turning it about in his hand, to inspect it. His dark-skinned hand holding the pistol surprised him momentarily before he remembered that he was not in his own body. That memory made him realise, "Ah! That bloke thinks I’m Tomas…," He looked toward Wanda's broken door where the muscular bloke had entered. The guy was inside, out of sight already. Wally shrugged, "Oh well,"

Ignoring the messy crying of the wolf-lady, He leaned back to watch the rest of the fight. Police had now cleared out most of the street with tear gas, with only pockets of combatants still going at it here and there.

“Guess that's all the excitement done for the day,” Wally murmured.

🪄Magic fish🪄

Thousands of lasers pierced World Fish. His movements slowed and his vision grew blurry as he bled profusely from countless small wounds all over his body. He felt the tides of battles turn as a lot more enemies suddenly arrived, coming up from the planet and adding their attacks to the already overwhelming number he had been dealing with. He grit his teeth and kept swimming. Vowing to never stop his rampage until every one of them was dead. Hundreds of thousands of spaceships had already been destroyed on his path. What was a million more?

Metal Fish looked to be struggling too but for an entirely different reason. The damage she took from the laser blasts was quickly repaired every time she absorbed more metal. However, the problem was that each direct hit also heated her up a little more. Millions of tons of superheated, molten metal drifted off her body like golden-red tentacles. Now any ship caught in her magnetic field melted before crashing into her. But as to her condition underneath all of that slag, it was anyone's guess.

Kinetic Fish was a blur of death and destruction. There was so much debris around now that she felt frantic and overwhelmed in launching it all. She never stopped, because she couldn’t stop. She knew that if she ceased moving, even for a second, she would be torn to pieces. One in a thousand lasers aimed her way still managed to hit their mark. The pain was excruciating but she pushed through it.

Amid the chaos, space lit up. For a brief moment, all the carnage stopped as both sides looked down at the source of the light. The planet Siren shattered and exploded outwards like a brilliant flower, glowing the colour of lava.

Shock, awe, fear, happiness, disgust, pride. Everyone who looked at the ruined world felt a different emotion.

World Fish looked upon the remains of Siren, his birth planet and home for several millennia and was surprised by how little he felt. It was just another world. Gone now. His biggest sadness was that he wished there were more smarties closer to the planet. He would have very much liked to see them melt away in the fires of Siren's core. With that thought, an idea came to him. Now that the planet was gone, the magic fish didn't have anything to lose.

“Kinetic fish! I have an idea," He called out behind him, “I need you to turn me around and bring me close enough to touch Metal Fish!”

"What? You’ll burn!" She replied.

“I know. Hurry, please!”

With no idea what to expect, Kinetic Fish zoomed around to the far side of World fish and pushed him towards Metal Fish. Her magic allowed him to reverse direction despite his gargantuan size and speed. Before the two titans collided, she arrested all their motion just before they hit one another, scorching her fin on the molten metal tentacle of Metal Fish in the process. Metal Fish and World fish gently touched each other. World Fish’s scales burned.

World Fish raised his voice so that Metal Fish could hear him through the molten mess covering her “Metal Fish, I’m going to ‘global scale’, when I give the signal, cast ‘liquid metal’. Do you understand?”

Metal Fish’s muffled voice called back, “WHAT? THAT’LL DESTROY SIREN! WE CAN’T!”

“Oh, damn. She doesn’t know. She’s so covered in slag that she’s blind,” said Kinetic Fish.

World Fish didn’t have time to explain; she might not even believe him if he told her. He had to lie to his friend, “Don’t worry, Time Fish is going to protect it. I’m casting the spell now, Get ready.”

“WAIT! NOW?! ARE YOU SURE?” Metal Fish Shouted.

“Global Scale!” World Fish called out the magic words. His body shrank as all of his magic poured into Metal Fish. As he grew smaller and smaller, lasers hurt more and more.

[Global scale] was a support spell that used his magic to increase the size and scale of another fish's next spell at the cost of reducing the size and scale of World Fish. He shrank smaller and smaller from the size of a moon to that of an asteroid, to that of a peanut. An absurd amount of magic charged into Metal Fish.

“Now Metal Fish! Now!” the tiny pufferfish shouted.

“LIQUID METAL!!” Metal Fish screamed the magic words.

Although it was a crazy powerful spell, [Liquid Metal]’s weakness was that its Radius was no further than a kilometre away from Metal Fish’s body. That was no longer a problem. World Fish had been so enormous when he cast [Global Scale] that now Metal Fish’s spell covered a good portion of the solar system.

The Smarties had brought everything they could to eliminate the magic fish threat once and for all, billions of spaceships, laser jets, tanks, soldiers, machines, and weapons. All held together by metal.

The spell shot out in all directions. Metal turned to liquid. In the silence of space, everything fell apart.

⭐🛸⭐🛸⭐🛸

Destiny Fish fled. Fire consumed the planet behind him and he fled. Tears fell from his eyes, lasers burned his body and he fled. He closed his eyes, screamed, and fled.

He swam through debris, liquidated spaceships, and Smarty corpses. He didn't stop swimming. He didn't stop screaming. A portal opened up in his path. He swam straight through it. He kept swimming hard; like his life depended on it. Then, he ran head-first into a solid object.

He opened his eyes and saw what he had bumped into, Laser Fish, “It’s ok Destiny Fish, you're ok,” she whispered.

“Time Fish… He…”

“I know. It’s ok you’re safe.”

Destiny Fish wept.
