Even as Absolis, Kolon and Ika marched off towards the Imperial Palace, a large glowing portal opened up in front of the group. Out stepped the hulking figure of Apocalypse, an immense hulk of grey flesh and bone spikes. The creature took a moment to observe the three new figures in front of it, even as the small group no doubt took a moment to assess the fact that what appeared to be a giant grey hulk ripoff had just stepped out of nowhere. From behind him a small redheaded figure waved enthusiastically, before disappearing from view, the portal closing. There was just a moment of silence, the weirdness creating a mandatory pause.
Apocalypse's senses are as strange as they are useful, allowing him to perceive things well beyond the range of most beings. Perhaps it was through some unknown sense that the creature was able to assess Kolon as a worthy adversary, or at the very least a threat, detecting it's immense intelligence, or perhaps the energy radiated by the nigh infinite supply of explosives it somehow carried with it. Or perhaps Apocalypse just didn't like cats much. Whatever the reason, the creature shot forward to destroy the fuzzy flufball, instantly accelerating to mach 1.2, the explosive crack of the sound barrier shattering reaching the ears of the threesome a fraction of a second after his immense fist, aimed to turn the genius cat..... thing into a thin red mist.
Time seemed to slow to a matter of microseconds as Apocalypse accelerated impossibly rapidly, his movements on a level higher than even the highly advanced mind of a super-scientist was able to react. It was a close range attack, Doomsday had been standing no more than 10 meters away. The chemical reactions between neurons in the brain simply weren't able to keep up with such immense speed, the sight centers in the brain barely finished decoding the information received from the optical nerve when the fist would first make it's bone-shattering impact with the fuzball's skull. It was only a moment nature that two of the three would become fully aware of the events that had transpired in that fraction of a second, their brains finally catching up.
Of course, Kolon would most likely have some defensive mechanism prepared. A force field, an automatic reactive teleportation mechanism, or perhaps a more offensive solution. But before whatever system he would use was put into action, it's probability of success became irrelevant through the sudden intervention of a certain squid girl. A series of blue tentacles slammed into the brute from the side at Mach 3, the impact lifting him off of his feet and launching him through the walls of a nearby building. While Ika Musume's strength was nowhere near Apocalypse's levels, her speed was almost 3x his, and she had no problem keeping up with the Perfect Being.
Ik Musume: Saviour of the multiverse.
Of course, such things didn't last long. "That was a good hit, girl. It seems I overestimated your companions." Apocalypse stepped out from the hole he had made, completely unharmed. The creature grinned, revealing a row of sharp, bonelike portrusion that served as teeth. "But a hit with that little power won't be enough to harm me, no matter the speed it moves at. Let's see how long you can last before I rip you to pieces, shall we?" Laughing, Apocalypse prepared to charge once more, this time aiming his full efforts at Ika Musume. No longer possessing the element of surprise, this would have undoubtedly been a dangerous fight for the squid girl, perhaps even lethal. However, luckily for her, she had quite capable backup.
