The Great Catastrophe (ConceptTopic, 11)

From Compile Worlds

The Great Catastrophe is a segment of Compile Worlds 2, following on from The Gathering. It only has one episode so far, so not much is known about the events it will encompass, since Fake Arle and her crazy desires for universal control have subsided.

Characters

The characters appearing in this arc are pretty much the same ones that appeared in the last arc. At the Solar Star Powerhouse, there is Draco, Seriri, Witch, Chico, Schezo, Sig, Rider, Klug, Lemres, Ringo, Daichi, Camus, Tech and Mikki. A second set of characters sanctioned at the Angel Academy are the Puyo Spirits (all five of them), Eldora, Kanon, Fake Arle, Gypsum, Marcus and Theta. At Satan's Castle are Satan, Lucifer, Angol Mois, Nanako, Lagnus and Omega. It is still too early to tell who else might appear, but talks of Benedict, Popoi, and the Planetary Gods of Gaias have been about.

Setting

With Primp, Ringo's World, and Whitespace all destroyed, there are few worlds within the immediate solar system for our heroes to inhabit. Currently, the protagonists are in the Madou World, although the Puyo Wars World, the Abyss, Limboseum and the Realm of the Gods could see more action as well. The artifical world that Fake Arle and Ecolo had created may appear, but it is unlikely now. The worlds destroyed by Fake Arle and Ecolo will be restored.

Episodes

The Spirits united

Episode 52 gets back to the party at the South Coast Lighthouse like, finally, who are still waiting for the other 3 Puyo Spirits to show up and complete their period 5. Aeris senses Fake Arle's shenanigans at Satan's Castle, but they are helpless to pursue them until the other spirits arrive. Just as Mikki gets fed up with waiting, Seriri, Unda and Juichi arrive, complete with floating water bubbles made by Unda's powerful magic. It isn't long before Seriri starts making snide remarks at anyone who even so much as mention's Draco's name. Sure enough, Draco and Mikki's impatience once again summons another party to the scene, this time Ralie and his motley crew 4/4Witch (Madou Monogatari)KlugSchezo WegeyTheta. Klug and Schezo add to the tension while Witch and Tech discuss Chaos Drives made by "a third party video game company hobbling on one leg". Without even needing someone to complain, the final party led by Keiji's ex Serra and Charyl drops in, thus completing the period 5. It doesn't take the bizarre 21 character orgy long to begin discussing Fake Arle and her unknown plans, as well as the situation brewing in the north east. Just before they can come to a decision, however, the Puyo Spirits, Theta and Harpy vanish. This causes the slightly smaller orgy much distress until Lemres and Daichi return from the now-expired Whitespace to assure them that people who just got whisked away are in good hands. They contemplate their insignificance in the situation as we switch scenes...

In a small white room, the 7 characters that were removed from the previous party appear. They were summoned by Eldora, who requests them to free her from her prison that she's spent pretty much the entirety of the RP in. After one derp attempt, the Spirits finally destroy the cage containing Eldora, revealing that she was trapped right in front of the Angel Academy all along. Kanon and Liechi appear to greet Eldora and welcome her safe return. Meanwhile, Theta questions why she and Harpy are even there in the first place. Kanon explains that Harpy is an old student of the Academy, suffering some slight amnesia. Theta was used as an "outside witness", though it is yet unclear why she would need one. Eldora declares "Arle" must be cleansed of her destructive powers and summons her to the Academy immediately. While Fake Arle acknowledges she is powerless due to the nature of this meeting, she still makes witty remarks about her summoning. Eldora and "Arle" go back and forth for a number of minutes, with Eldora even offering "Arle" a scholarship at the academy. Eldora reveals that the entire conflict was caused because some time ago, the "real" Arle Nadja actually split into two halves; one perfect half with all of the positive features, and one undesirable half that grew bitter when no one wanted her. At the castle, the two halves joined together, with the "real" Arle being almost ready to take the reigns again. Knowing all this, and taking Eldora's kind words, Arle peacefully withdraws from her sinister plots, freeing Gypsum and Marcus. The Spirits and Eldora prepare to restore and revitalize all of the Compile Worlds after all of their torment under Arle and Ecolo, and everything seems to be a fairy tale ending...

Trivia

• The events of this arc were eluded to as early as The Amalgamation, when Feli had foreseen them.
• Despite the end of the "Compile Worlds 1" RP being at the end of SHAME, the end of the game will actually be the first episode of this arc, and that anything there after would be considered "Compile Worlds 2". (If even need be)
