Though Jak had gotten a head start toward the large floating island where the boss no doubt was lying in wait for them, he wasn’t the first to arrive thanks to his light eco wings being largely clunky and ineffective. At one point Sectonia passed by and seemed to give him a strange look of approval? Well, he was mute in Light Jak form so he naturally said nothing, but even if he retained his powers of speech he’d have ignored the weird gesture. Daxter on the other hand shot her a mean mug look and stuck his tongue out.

[color=red]”Weeee!”[/color] called Cuphead as the giant bee alien carried him to their destination. Once they landed, he hopped out of her hand and slicked back his straw, then spat on the ground to look like a bonafide tough guy!

The Courier would have the most difficulty crossing and thought about the situation. Those black creatures could teleport sure, but they weren’t exactly appealing. Besides, the spirits were all claimed and he didn’t want to agitate anymore to start another fight. Then there was the matter of his robot, Gaige-Tron, and his chocobo mount, Drumstick. She wasn’t a flying bird, but seeing those chickens (cuccoos?) of Linkle’s gave him an idea. [color=tan]”GT, hitch a ride with the monk. He’s got a whole mess o’things that c’n help I’m sure.”[/color]

“No problem, boss! Initiating ‘Freeloader.exe’ now! Haha, just kidding! I don’t have freeloader software, but I am totally gonna hitch a ride!” The robot sped off to Donnie and latched onto his flying machine without so much as a please or thank you, ready to go.

[color=tan]”Come on out, Bugfoot!”[/color] the Courier released his heracross from his pokeball.

“Hera!” it cheered excitedly.

[color=tan]”Gonna pull a repeat of last time. I need you ta launch me an’ Drumstick up high, then we’ll glide t’the next island. We’ll keep doin’ this until we reach that big one over there. Comprende?”[/color] Bugfoot saluted enthusiastically and got into position. Drumstick didn’t seem so keen on the idea, but she calmed down with a few pats and encouraging coos from her master. Heracross hurled them both into the air with its mighty horn! Then Drumstick flapped her wings like she’d never flapped before, guided by the Courier to give them a softer landing. Once they hit solid ground he pointed the pokeball back to Bugfoot, recalling the pokemon, then simply let it out again next to him. Rinse and repeat three more times and the Courier finally got to the big boss arena.

The Enderdragon showed itself as everyone found themselves surrounded by tall obelisk spires. A powerful engine of destructive force which bled into the nightmare world it reigned over, it let out a roar and attacked! Cuphead thought he could take it on headfirst. After all, he beat Matchstick and that guy had [i]three heads[/i] so this guy would surely be a pushover, right? Well, that mindset proved to be instantly wrong as he was bowled over, as were also Jak (who wasn’t able to react quickly enough with his light wings) and the Courier (who had just gotten there and was caught off guard). 

All three were tossed around like rag dolls, though the two wastelanders could take the hits without much trouble. Cuphead got several cracks in the process thanks to his less than durable body, but he still sprang up without a moment’s hesitation. [color=red]”Why I oughta!”[/color] he called out and began firing his peashooter while running across the ground.

Jak dispersed his Light form, the wings going with it. Clearly this beast would be far [i]far[/i] more mobile than he was in the air, so it was best to stick to the ground and attack at moments of opportunity. He swapped the morph gun to Rootrot mode and activated his jet board, zipping and zooming around the arena at super speeds taking potshots at the Enderdragon whenever he could. It didn’t look like the rootrot was doing any damage, but then he didn’t expect it to. This beast was huge and would not go down without a ton of punishment, but the rootrot would slow it down, hopefully. Weaken it enough so that everyone could get a lot more shots in on it.

It was… A freaking [i]pop tart[/i] with [i]rainbows[/i] coming out the ass?! Well whatever, it was clearly incredibly dangerous, and spat out huge breaths of acid to boot!

[color=tan]”Remember boss!”[/color] Courier called out to Bowser, who was atop a spire in cat form, [color=tan]”Y’promised this one to me!”[/color] He popped some coyote chewing tobacco to increase his perception, heightening his senses to incredible abilities, then kept his eye on the dragon. It swooped down and he spurred Drumstick on to take cover just in time, while Jak nailed it in the head with some rootrot and Cuphead dashed through the acid cloud, seemingly invulnerable, peppering the dragon with shots. Something seemed off about it, but he couldn’t put his finger on what exactly that was just yet.

As the Courier applied the extra damage stickers he had received from the koopas onto his anti-material rifle, one of the spires shot out a blast of energy that collided with the dragon. He activated VATS, intending to catch the action as the beam was connected to the dragon, but his timing was off too late by a fraction of a second. The beam was gone, but so was… Didn’t the dragon take some minor nicks and cuts? He didn’t see any signs of injury, but he was certain it had taken at least some small damage, coyote tobacco chew never lied. 

He deactivated VATS and let things play out for a moment. One of those snipers from earlier, the first one he had killed, tried to communicate something to Kamek but he was too prideful to care. She then attacked an obelisk, blowing it to kingdom come along with her physical form!

[color=sandybrown]”Whoa!”[/color] Jak called out, flying back from the shockwave, having gotten a little too close.

[color=darkorange]”Watch it, beak-face!”[/color] Daxter yelled, shaking his fist at Kamek. [color=darkorange]”That was your girl that almost took us out! My fur’s gonna have that nasty burn smell for days!”[/color]

[color=tan]”Take out the towers!”[/color] the Courier called out. [color=tan]”I ain’t no wizard, but I know what I saw an’ I reckon she saw it too! The rainbow pop-tart ain’t hurt no more!”[/color] The Courier took aim at the nearest spire and it with enough killing force to penetrate heavy artillery armor.
