[Chat]:[Action]: NERO IS DIVING!
[Rip]: She's doing the same move again? Drake will just shoot her!
[Boring]: Get a new strat, Red!
[Wait]: Look at her face. That's not a "losing" face. That's a "scheme" face.
On the deck of the Golden Hind, Drake watched Nero descending from the sky. The Emperor was wreathed in crimson flames, her sword aimed at Drake's heart.
Drake sighed. "Again? Really, darling? I expected more creativity."
She raised her pistols. "Time for another lesson in gunpowder diplomacy."
But just as she tightened her finger on the trigger, the sky changed.
It wasn't a cloud. It was a structure.
A massive, golden building—as large as a football stadium—was falling from the heavens, directly on top of them.
It was ornate. It was gaudy. It was aggressively Roman.
[NOBLE PHANTASM: AESTUS DOMUS AUREA (Golden Theater of the Flamboyant)]
"OPEN THE GATES!" Nero roared, her voice amplified by magical acoustics. "RAISE THE CURTAIN! BEHOLD MY TALENT! LISTEN TO THE THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE!"
The theater slammed into the ocean, displacing millions of tons of water. The impact created a shockwave that nearly capsized the Golden Hind.
"LAUS SAINT CLAUDIUS!"
The theater didn't sink. It floated, defying gravity and buoyancy. Its scarlet canopy unfurled, and golden rose petals rained down.
This was Nero's Reality Marble—her absolute imperial domain. Inside this space, her wishes became reality. Her stats were boosted. Her enemies were debuffed. And most importantly... the acoustics were perfect.
Nero landed on the stage (which was conveniently located in the center of the ocean). She posed.
"Now!" Nero declared. "Let the performance begin!"
[Chat]:[Holy_Crap]: SHE DROPPED A STADIUM ON THEM!
[Physics]: Isaac Newton has left the chat.
[Scale]: That thing is huge! How is Drake supposed to fight a building?!
[Hype]: It's a Summoner War! Ships vs Castles vs Theaters!
On the deck of the pirate ship, Cipher was holding onto the mast for dear life.
"A theater?" Cipher yelled over the wind. "She summoned a theater?! Is that even legal?!"
Drake laughed. She spun the wheel hard to starboard.
"Legal?" Drake grinned. "Since when do pirates care about the law? Lads! Get the ship closer! If she wants an audience, let's give her a show!"
She pointed her cutlass at the massive golden structure looming over them.
"I am the King of Storms! The King of the Undead!"
Thunder crashed. The sky turned black. Ghostly sailors materialized on the deck—skeletons with cutlasses, phantom gunners with cannons.
"NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE WILD HUNT!"
[NOBLE PHANTASM: GOLDEN WILD HUNT (Golden Hind and the Stormy Night)]
The Golden Hind accelerated. It didn't turn away. It charged straight at the theater.
"RAMMING SPEED!" Drake bellowed.
[Chat]:[Madness]: SHE'S RAMMING THE THEATER!
[Pirate_Life]: "How can I blow you up if I don't get closer?" - Francis Drake, 2024.
[Music]:Pirates of the Caribbean theme intensifies.
CRASH.
The golden prow of the ship slammed into the golden walls of the theater. Wood splintered. Gold bent. The sheer kinetic energy of the collision created a blinding flash of white light.
The ship groaned, its hull buckling, but it punched through. It drove deep into the theater's interior, landing in the orchestra pit with a deafening thud.
Drake leaped from the wheel. "Boarding party! Attack!"
Nero stood center stage. She looked annoyed.
"You crashed my venue!" Nero shouted. "Rude! Uncultured! For that, I shall burn you to ash!"
She activated her second Noble Phantasm. Her sword ignited with the Flame of the Phoenix.
She charged.
This time, it wasn't a skirmish. It was a brawl.
Sword met pistol. Fire met gunpowder.
Nero was faster inside her territory. She slashed, and Drake's pistol cracked.
"Gah!" Drake grunted, stepping back.
"Got you!" Nero cried, preparing a finishing blow.
But then, the theater flickered.
The golden walls turned transparent. The rose petals vanished.
[SYSTEM WARNING][MANA DEPLETED]
Nero froze. "What?"
Maverick (Old Ma) didn't have the mana reserves to sustain a Reality Marble and a high-speed battle. The theater collapsed into spirit particles.
Nero fell. Without the stage beneath her feet, she plummeted into the water.
SPLASH.
She surfaced, coughing, her dress ruined, her ego bruised.
"My theater..." Nero whimpered. "My beautiful stage..."
Drake stood on the deck of her ship, which was now floating in open water again. She looked battered, her pistol broken, but she was smiling.
"Infinite mana," Drake gloated, patting the Supreme Magic Furnace behind her. "Get a better battery, Red!"
She aimed the ship's cannons at the swimming Emperor.
"Goodbye!"
But just as she was about to fire, a shadow fell over the ship.
It wasn't a bird. It wasn't a plane.
It was a Hippogriff.
A massive, mythical beast dived from the clouds. It slammed onto the deck of the Golden Hind like a meteor.
CRUNCH.
The ship tipped violently. The stern lifted out of the water.
Riding on the Hippogriff's back was a familiar, pink-haired Rider.
[SERVANT: ASTOLFO]
And clinging to Astolfo's waist, looking green in the face, was a large man.
"MEI YI!" Panda (PDD) screamed, vomiting over the side of the mythical beast. "Put me down! I can't take the G-force! I'm gonna hurl!"
[Chat]:[LUL]: PANDA IS HERE!
[Trap_Card]: ASTOLFO JOINED THE BATTLE!
[Chaos]: It's a party now!
