I hear "Mac's are good/better for programming" as a common argument, and it's just not true..

• The macbook keyboard is subpar for code editing, because very common code editing functionality is harder to access than on alternatives.
  • There's no delete key, you need to press fn + backspace.
  • Arrow keys are too small, easy to miss, hard to find.
  • option + backspace and option + fn + backspace are much less convenient for deleting words than ctrl + backspace and ctrl + delete
  • You also don't have the option to get keyboards with extra keys (eg num pads)
• Non-apple hardware support is terrible.
  • I have a bunch of logitech mice and dell displays all work extremely unstable. They all have numerous bugs, sometimes they outright refuse to work at all and need extra software to set up properly. These are good quality things they work amazingly on windows or linux.
  • I also have an audio interface that works much better on windows, the integration is better, switching sound sources, setting volume, etc. I didn't expect this because I heard a lot of praise form audio/music people too. wtf.
• I don't even understand the stability myth people like to spread about macos. I regularly experience "black deaths" on mac, also while it does seem to handle not restarting a bit better. I can't go more than 5-7 days without something starting to act weird. (But when I do need to restart it takes more time even on a stronger hardware)
  • crApple seems to be more easily closing API's, breaking tools that you rely on. Windows definitely has a more "it just works" feeling overall.
• Terminal based workflows improved a lot on windows with the Terminal app and WSL. In some cases it's even better than Iterm2. Overall I'd say it's still a bit better on mac or linux, but for me the gap is negligible.
• Macos has tons of missing features compared to windows
  • The taskbar's UX is 10 times better than the dock's. On mac the same mouse based workflow just works like shit because of this. Sure you can switch to something usable like amethyst or yabai, but crApple can decide to break those at any moment as it just happened with 14.5. I just don't feel safe that my window management will work tomorrow too...
  • The menu bar feels outdated, on windows apps evolved to make those menus disappear, because people don't use them often, no need to see it all times (especially true for programmers, we tend to use shortcuts), but on mac you are forced to look at this interface from 80's, if you also want to see a clock somewhere or be able to control your basic system things with fewer extra steps.
  • I need to install extra software for soooo many things that are default on windows (as a software dev I need my system smooth and out of my way, and it's a lot more work on mac to achieve this)
    • Window management (sure if you want auto tiling you need extra stuff on windows too, but the default is much better)
    • keyboard layout switching (the default sucks ass, because they randomize the order, this might be relevant for a lot of programmers, because English layouts are generally better for programming, but most of us have different native languages)
    • mouse scroll wheel unfucker software, why isn't this in the system options?
    • Display handling (by default I wasn't able to set scaling on external displays, lol)
    • bartender to stop control icons from disappearing because of the useless notch or even more useless menu lists. It's a joke how this isn't handled by default.

I just didn't appreciate how well windows works until I started using a mac...
I realize that these things will weigh differently for different people, but it's just a lie that mac is generally better for programming. It's not. It might be for some users, but certainly not for everyone so STOP SAYING IT.

I've been logging into "Adopt Me!" for over 2 years. I'll one day get my 1,000th day streak, a milestone I doubt anyone reached, but after what I went through, I don't think I'd play "Adopt Me!" anytime soon.
On the day where I should've gotten by 1,000th day streak, I knew something was off as the game loaded. Instead of having the familiar and cheery intro screen, I was already in the game (it just popped up). The usual iconic music was replaced by a stinging silence. I once prided as a very rich player, but I now had no bucks and only one Flare-age Neon dog named Alex, and a Luminous-age Neon cat named Lilly.
It had been a long time ago since I played "Adopt Me!" for the first time, but I couldn't bring up anytime where I had a Neon dog which I named Alex, nor a Neon cat named Lilly.
I didn't even think that was possible, because I never recalled creating a new account, and even if I did, only either a dog OR a cat would hatch from the Starter Egg, and it definitely wouldn't have a Neon cat/dog of ANY age.
I began getting worried. Had I been hacked? Had I loaded into the wrong server (I realized I had been playing alone)? Or was some other technical issue? But if it was a technical issue, how could I just get two Neon pets for free?
I looked further into my pets, and found something that was DEFINITELY not right. Why did the pets have healthbars, along with a stamina, energy, hunger, and thirst bar? Was this a survival game? "Adopt Me!" hadn't ever been a survival game- it was always an RP and pet-raising game!
Not even my avatar was the same. It was reduced to the standard Roblox Noob, when I really had a lot of Robux. Had I logged into a doppelganger account?
I looked into my 'Toys' section, and all I had were a Flashlight and Toy Sword. Had someone hacked this into a survival game? If so, what kind?
But I wasn't gonna sit around to find out. I called the Roblox support number, but the voicemail was just dead silence even as I turned up to full volume, almost as if it was off-duty.
When I looked back in my game screen, I found a note on the ground, I picked it up by pressing E, and it read:
"I know you. I know you're wondering why this game seems so out of place, and you tried to call Roblox support. A virus has just started spreading in the Nursery and much of Adoption Island has been destroyed by its hosts. The infection doesn't spread by air, but if they touch you, well, you know. Wait... someone's-" I immediately put the note down and ran my avatar back home, not thinking of looking back. But then a dialogue box opened.
LILLY: Wait! I can't keep up!
I wanted to slow down, but I was afraid of what was behind me. I realized my avatar was almost out of stamina, so I cut behind a tree to recharge. I realized Lilly's healthbar was completely red, and I dreaded to think on what would happen if either pets' or my HP reached 0. I tried carrying them both, but that left me defenseless. As I listened closely, I didn't hear anything, so it might be safe again. But I couldn't relax as a message popped up that said, "DON'T MAKE A NOISE!" with an audio recording waveform that had a bar limit. I held my breath and remained as quiet as possible, not as quiet as the game's ambience.
After quietly breathing in and out of what felt like forever, the warning message finally faded. I picked up the two pets, and snuck quietly back into my home. When I got home, though, I realized there had been a crate in there.
"Do I open the crate?" I asked myself. "What if it's infected?" I drew my Toy Sword and pressed 'E' to open it. What I found inside washed most of my worries away. Inside there was a Flame Sword, with the typical blade replaced by a 2D fire icon. I didn't know what this new weapon would do, but I wasn't gonna keep my blunt Toy Sword around.
Suddenly, a speech bubble popped up on what seemed to be behind me. "ANNA: You've upgraded your weapon." I dragged my camera around, and there was Anna, the young girl typically from the Nursery with blonde hair and a pink onesie with a rabbit tail.
"What's going on?" I typed in the chat.
I didn't expect her to respond, as she's just an NPC. But merely 3 seconds later, she replied, "I... I don't know." She responded. "But I think the source is in the Nursery."
Another chat bubble popped up from behind.
"ALEX: But what if we die, even if we destroyed the beacon?"
"We have no choice," I typed back. "It's either us, or them. But maybe, if we just work together, we could make it out alive."
As we stepped out with my volume as high as possible to sense any infected, suddenly, as we were about to enter the Nursery, the ground below us suddenly gave away, and it was dark, too dark, so dark I worried that if I were to turn on my flashlight, I would get jump scared.
I equipped my flashlight and covered my eyes and slowly pressed the left mouse button, preparing for the worst. But nothing happened. The cave was lit up slightly, and after a few tense seconds, no monster came.
But another thing made me flinch- the torches around suddenly burst alight, nearly making me spill water all over my keyboard. I could vividly hear my avatar's footsteps as I inconsistently tapped the 'W' key to try not to make too much noise.
After tapping the 'W' key on what felt like forever, we came across a very questionable door. As I selected the Flame Sword, I realized it had a series of abilities. I used 'One Slash,' which had the least required energy, but it easily sliced the hinges off and the door fell.
But we were met with a horrible sight. I expected the source to be some like reactor core, but I nearly puked over my computer screen. It was a number of masses of unknown fluid tied together by what appear to be veins. But one mass in the center seemed to be distinctive from the rest, almost as if it had an eye in it.
But I realized that all too late as the central mass began to crack, as if it were an egg. As I drew my Flame Sword open, a huge tentacle burst open from the center mass. I nearly froze. As I panned my camera back facing the door, the door was shut. I tried pressing 'E' opening the door and running, but a dialogue box popped up.
"ANNA: We can't leave yet! Otherwise, the virus would spread out of control!"
I reluctantly panned my camera back to the single tentacle, and shakily pressed the '1' key, equipping my Flame Sword again. But I noticed all too late that that single imposing tentacle was a mere decoy as 8 other tentacles popped open from the other masses.
I quickly popped open my Flame Sword move lists, and I scrolled left to right at what felt like the speed of light, desperately trying to find a good attack. I figured that "Fire Cage" would trap the thing and slow it down as I try to find a new attack.
As I thought, the tentacles were immobile and couldn't move. As I scrolled left to right amid the Flame Sword's attacks, one of them caught my eye, "Infernadius Executionis." It sounded rather powerful, but just as I hovered my mouse over the button, I quickly saw a message:
"DO NOT USE UNLESS LAST RESORT. THIS WILL UNPOWER YOUR SWORD."
But I figured I wouldn't need it as the cage seemed to be burning the thing itself. Without hesitating, I began clicking my left mouse button as fast as I could. I began thinking my finger would create a trance because of how fast I was clicking, then, as the multiple slashes piled up, I was faced with a "time-it-perfect" press circle and ring. I pressed almost perfectly, and the slashes blew the being into nothing.
There was no time to celebrate, though. Almost immediately, a hole appeared in place of the being. The place around began crumbling and a wall of very toxic materials of what seemed to contain the virus began tracing the hind wall. I pressed 'E' as fast as I could to try to push open the heavy door. But it didn't work and I clicked the left mouse button. That triggered a slice which bust the door down into two molten pieces.
As we ran out of the main chamber, we saw more infected monsters that began charging at us immediately followed by a jump scare. But I was so focused on killing the monsters I merely blinked.
I swiped my camera down and slashed, jumping into the air with an incendiary jump. Then, an idea immediately sparked into my mind. I scrolled my camera backwards and looking down about 45 degrees. As I swiped the sword repeatedly about 2 times per second, the monsters began falling like bowling pins.
But all that stopped when I hit a wall on the other side. At this point my Flame Sword was completely drained of energy and was basically a Toy Sword now. But my avatar automatically dropped it and I really couldn't fight off all of them with a mere Toy Sword.
I swiped my camera around in all directions, trying to look for some way to get out. I even spammed the left mouse button to try and see if I could escape. But it all stopped as I heard repeated gunshots behind me and I quickly swiped my camera.
It was Anna, and she seemed to now be around in her teens, with an assault rifle in her hands. Before I could type anything in chat, she spoke up in a voice bubble, "ANNA: Don't worry. I've been in Arsenal before."
Another voice bubble popped up.
"ALEX: But we still have to get out. I can smell the virus from here. If we don't get out, we'll all get infected."
My camera view began developing a red, blurry, vignette. I feared what would happen if my camera became completely opaque. I thought I heard the ceiling crack as I slashed it, so I panned up as hard as I could, and began clicking faster than I ever had.
I thought my mouse was gonna shatter, but all that faded away as the ceiling opened and the camera refreshed. Back out of the ground, the ground patched back up, almost as if nothing was there.
The sky had been clear again, and one last message appeared.
"Congratulations! You've saved Adoption Island from certain extinction, thanks to your party's hard work and determination."
This would be an experience I would never forget or unsee. As I finish this post, I want to remind you that after what I've been through, I'll likely never see "Adopt Me!" the same way ever again.
After all, who knows if the virus is really dead? Is it still buried underground? All I can hope is that another disaster doesn't happen which triggers the virus to be released again, and I REALLY hope this cruel hacker doesn't spread the virus to other games.

I have several of the GPX MW series, the ones that come in blue grey, and pink with 2GB capacity. Occasionally they go weird on me, but most of the time they're solid workhorses for my needs.
Usually, when I plug one into a PC, an icon shows up that says GPX, and you drag stuff on, no problem. In those cases, the icon is one showing a standard extra drive. However, lately for some unknown reason, a PC will want to spend a minute "setting up a drive", and when it does, the icon then comes up as a small player, and while it reads as full (or for whatever I have on it), you cannot actually access the files.
In addition, a friend of mine has a Mac, and when I plug it into that, I CAN still move the files on that. But it's a pain in the butt and not always an option for me.
And for final weirdness - I had one do this to me a while back, then one day it magically re-loaded one day where I could get at everything again.
So - does anybody know what's causing it, or if it's fixable without just waiting and hoping for it to eventually right itself again? (I did try a re-format, and that didn't work.)

I mean yes, in the last episode it highlights all the bad things the crew did.
But I can’t really remember a time when Elaine did someone really dirty. The sauna thing was an accident.
I guess by modern standards her coughing on that ladies things at the office and rubbing her butt on the keyboard can be considered unlawful contamination of some sort but compared to Jerry Kramer and George she’s relatively innocent.
But I kinda want her to be just as bad as them you know? Especially since she’s a normal woman and well adjusted so them being in it all together is kind of comforting. Almost makes you feel better about yourself.

So I bought the K65 Plus Wireless Keyboard and the Harpoon Wireless Mouse a few days ago for one main reason: SLIPSTREAM MULTIPORT
On paper I should be able to connect my mouse and my keyboard to one single USB receiver instead of occupying all my front Panel USB Ports with two separate receivers. Sadly I can't get it to work. The receiver the keyboard came with offers no functionality to add a additional device to it. It's called K65 Wireless Receiver in ICUE and not Slipstream Receiver so that's fair I guess. The receiver which came with the mouse is called Slipstream Receiver in ICUE though and offers an option to add additional devices. It prompts me to connect all devices via cable first. When I connect the mouse it shows a mouse icon, when I connect the keyboard nothing happens.
I can't seem to get it to work. Is the keyboard not MULTIPORT compatible? Are there other small form factor wireless keyboards which are?

TLDR: I am currently living with my friend and her family with plans to move out with my friend. I am finding that there are some major issues I need to talk to them about, however. I want to talk to them, but my roommate is so confrontation avoidant, she will spiral into an anxiety attack and severe depressive episode. How to I approach the issue with the least amount of damage?
Please note: my keyboard double types and I may miss it in my edits...
Also, she may see this. If so...uh, let's talk, I guess.
So, let's get into this. ((yes, I know the saying to never live with your friends.))
I am currently living with my friend and her family with plans to move out of the family home and into an apartment with my friend. We were given a year deadline and we are about 4 months in. I have a job and I have been trying to make plans toward moving. I try to talk to my friend about it but...
My roommate keeps getting...idk maybe upset? I'm not sure, but she keeps asking me what my rush is. I guess she doesn't realize how much goes into getting an apartment? I moved across the country for this opportunity, so I need to go back home and rent a truck to get all my stuff. I am expecting that I will need to spend close to $4000 to move into a new place (including money I need for the apartment itself.)
Since moving in with them, I am finding that my friend is pretty self centered (aren't we all?) and spoiled. She has zero respect for people, their personal space/belongings, or their opinions. It is like she lives in her own little world and expects everyone to follow her thought process and be okay with whatever she does. She gets confused when I'm not like that. She has severe anxiety and depression (I do as well, but because I'm not comfortable in the environment I am currently in, I've been hiding it.) And she has major issues with confrontation.
On top of that, she does not have a job yet, has been unemployed for about a year, is, to my knowledge, not looking for work at all right now, wants to foster cats, and wants to bring 3 cats on top of my own 1 cat and bird.
I have already expressed my concerns about the number of cats. The fostering cats is a MAJOR deal breaker for me and I will make that very clear. I'm not against fostering, but I had a previous roommate foster cats and at one time we had 13 in the apartment and I am NEVER doing that again. (And I DID tell them this and they kinda were like..."well I'm fostering." :l no.)
I am getting more and more concerned about living with her, or if this is even going to happen. My biggest issue is her work history. She can't handle work politics or drama at all. She breaks down and either quits or gets fired. She wants to work with animals, but the people in those positions are very passionate and with her way of thinking (remember, she is in her own world), she kinda shuts down or butts heads with people. She is seen by management as unmotivated and unsocial as a result. She has not held a job longer than 5 months yet.
I cannot afford to pay for an apartment on my own. I'm scared she will lose any job she gets, drop out of our agreement or expect me to pay for everything, and leave me struggling. And I might even have to break the lease, which would make my already struggling bank account and credit take major hits. (I just got my credit back into shape. I don't want to go back to that.)
Also, my friend's mom will have to be part of this conversation. Her mom is...fierce. Feisty. A spit fire. She's a real fun person t o be around, as long as she's not directing her emotions at you. And I know for a fact this woman will interrupt anything I say and take over the entire conversation. Because that is how all our conversations go. But she's super sweet and they are doing me a huge favor right now by letting me live with them. (My rent right now is less than $300).
I have the option to move back home. I only left because I couldn't find work and I was going into a depressive spiral that made things look even glummer. I think I can probably find a job now, but this conversation will have to happen regardless. I am having issues with my current job (full time) not giving my health insurance, so I need to job hunt again anyway.
Anyway, enough of my whining. I need to find a way to bring up the subject to my friend and her mom in a way that will cause the least amount of damage. (And hopefully not end with me kicked out lol). Any advice?
TIA
*spelling edits*
*Edited to add:*
I am not looking for advice on what to do, I'm looking for advice on how to have a conversation. Thank you!!

I cleaned my PC because it had dust , and also keyboard n mouse . Then this happened. What causes this ??. I can't even use Google search because when I type a letter and press enter it goes back to it previous default state , and when I try to open a app it doesn't opens properly and the app icon is surrounded by a dotted line square background which looks like when we do cut and pasting in ms paint O.o ?

When people say you got malware on your device. Does this mean i downloaded a program and that program makes my comouter execute bits which exploit a vulnerabikity knowj in os?
Or what about web vuknerabikities or server hacks. Do they just write a program which says the comohter will click on this icon and do this and this which is the vuknerabikity i have found and will let me backdoor.
If i discover a vuknerabikity, do i make the other persons comouter simuoatebthat by just byoassing the mouse and keyboard and having him do all the motions i would oj my own device to exoloit it?
Or is it just about the program itself knowing that it will be taken a certain way by th3 os or website or browser as a stacj overflow?

(For all intents and purposes, this is a flashback, actually the most significant flashback in Apollos life: how Helios came to him, and the absolutely legendary match between Spectra and Helios versus Apollo and Reptak that saw Spectra retire from Brawling and take Apollo on as a protege)
Roster
Spectra: Darkus Infinity Helios, Darkus Blitz Dragonoid, Darkus Gravity Nome Bakunano; Bombaplode, Boomix
Apollo; Pyrus Reptak, Pyrus Black Meta Dragonoid, Pyrus Dual Hydranoid After battle: Darkus Infinity Helios
Clouds filled the sky outside of Alpha City, the Ecumenopolis was buzzing with Brawlers. Today, actually the past 6 days, was the last match of Spectra Phantom. Promising his full endorsement and tutelage, his partner, who had become to butt heads with spectra while he began to pursue the reuse of his father’s work for the good of Vestal, and for the good of Bakugan, Helios only seeked to Battle. Being best friends for twenty years, Professor Keith Fermin had decided it would be best to bestow Helios upon the first brawler that beat him in a brawl, but for the majority of vestals brawlers, that is easier said than done.
“Gus, Is there no one really worthy enough to carry my legacy? I refuse to believe the glaring lack of skill in the past ten thousand people is a reflection of this planet.” Spectra said as he returned Helios to ball form, after beating Ace Grit, his Darkus Knight Percival, his Darkus Meta Dragonoid, and his Darkus Siege with just Darkus Blitz Dragonoid and Infinity Helios only needing to come out to brutally wallop Knight Percival back into ball form using Ruinforce Quasar. “Ha. If you think Ace Grit was someone I would willingly go with Spectra, you don’t know me very well. Percival is a weakling and always will be.” Helios gloated. “I tossed him around like a rag doll on New Vestroia when we faced the resistance. Percival is a puny excuse for a Darkus Bakugan.” Helios hopped excitedly around in Ball form. “Check some of the upcoming names for win records, Gus. Some of these brawlers aren’t even making it ten turns past my weakest Bakugan.”
“Certainly not, Master Spectra. I think we have yet to find a hidden gem, as taking out the wheat and getting to the chaff. We just keep going down the list until we find the one person who can beat you.” the hyper pragmatic Gus Grav said, he sat on a metal folding chair in the center of the stadium, tinkering with his brown case of Bakugan while scrolling on a laptop with power counters connected to it. Since the events of Mag Mel, Gus had upgraded his team of beasts to Subterra Rex Vulcan, Subterra Meta Dragonoid, a new Subterra Hexados, a rare Subterra Elico he found in the Vestroian desert, a mechanical bakugan called Subterra Gran Panzer, and the “MK2”version of Hydrons mechanical Subterra Dryoid open on the table. “Easier said than done, Gus. These guys are really bad.” Rex Vulcan jeered. “Even Baron Leltoy could wipe these guys, and it took that kid pretty much no time to lose just to Gravity Nome with Saint Nemus.” Elico retorted. Gus stared intently at his laptop “This next kid is named Apollo Sayer and is a Pyrus Brawler, Master Spectra. For some reason that name is very familiar to me, do you feel the same way?” Gus asked with an almost worried tone to his voice. “Oddly, yes it does, like a fleeting memory. I can’t put my finger on it.” Spectra said. “Send him in nevertheless.” “Welcome Apollo Sayer.” Spectra said. “Are you ready to battle?” “I am.” A young man, about 5’9 with short,faded brown hair and half frame glasses wearing a red long sleeved solid color flannel, a chain over a white tshirt, black joggers and red black and white sneakers stepped in the room. He had a beat up, hand me down red Pyrus gauntlet and a red clip of Bakugan on his belt. A peculiar looking red Sky Raider sat on his shoulder. “Let’s get this show on the road. This is an honor, but I’ve been waiting and working for a moment like this my entire life.” Apollo said with confidence “Don’t be cocky, kid. You’re the ten thousandth person to walk through this room and nothing about you screams the next Dan Kuso to me.” Spectra said, seemingly unimpressed. “No you don’t understand.” Apollo retorted with passion, as if his honor had just been questioned by Spectra’s lax demeanor. Gus looked up “Interesting”. “My father was Dr. Malcolm Sayer. He knew and worked with your father Clay Fermin as a scientist and strategist for the late King Zenoheld. They were brothers, devoted to the field of science and shared views in absolutely everything. He was just like the King and the lot of the Vexos, and believed that Bakugan were tools that had no purpose elsewhere. This did not sit well with my Brother Jake, who was emboldened by Mira Fermin’s speeches about talking, sentient Bakugan. Then, a little before the BT systems completion, my fathers life changed. Jake and him had fought over politics and I hid in my room. But he heard my brothers guardian Bakugan, a Pyrus Reptak, consoling him in his room about the fight, calling him a “good dad who means well in the end” just after him and Clay finished the design for the Bakugan Termination System. He broke down and cried, appalled and disgusted by what he had done, and vowed to stop the Kings genocidal destruction of the Bakugan, so he asked my brother to contact Mira Fermin with information. Jacob, a childhood friend of Ace Grit, was already against Zenoheld fighting for the Resistance and I was a stay at home good schoolkid that played sports who had posters of the Vexos all over my room, but you in particular. You were my idol. Helios was the coolest bakugan to ever stand on a Gate Card to me, I had played with kids from school as a Ventus Brawler. I got my hands on a Ventus Dragonoid, a Ventus Gargonoid, Ventus Stinglash, and Ventus Spin Ravenoid, lost them all to the Doom cards though. But when the Vexos came around, I immediately changed to Pyrus when I heard about the great Viper Helios. I bought a Pyrus Dragonoid, a Pyrus Dual Hydranoid, a Pyrus Abis Omega, and a Pyrus Hammer Gorem and tried to brawl but could never get my act together to qualify to fight, and I really envied my brother, who was a stellar brawler with a cool talking Reptak. So I stuck to watching Jacob, but you we’re still more entertaining. When you exposed the king for his acts, there was nothing you could have done to ever change my mind that you, not the overrated pompous foreign baby that was Dan Kuso, his brawlers and his perfect Cross Dragonoid, was the greatest brawler to ever pick up a gauntlet. So when my dad said that we would be going to Clays apartment to have dinner with his family, I was stoked, but you weren’t there and I immediately wished I was back home playing video games with my friends. But when I saw your room, I went in to rummage in your old stuff. I looked around at your stuff, found your lot of old Earth Baseball Cards, a squeezed “Juice in a box” box, and a large bin of Bakugan won in battle. But then I saw your old guardian, a Pyrus hyper dragonoid, sitting in your desk drawer with an old launcher, and I couldnt help but take it for myself. As I messed your old room up, downstairs my dad was slowly losing his patience with Clay and I could hear yelling about him quitting his job over the BT System, not wanting to be a part of Genocide or anyone associated with it. He was so furious with Clay allowing and assisting the king to do this act that he sabotaged the machine to the point where it would not work for Zenoheld when needed. So when my father was actually innocent, Clay, who was already going insane, immediately blamed his old lab partner Malcolm when the Ancient Warriors gave up their energies to the six fighting Bakugan, while I was blissfully bragging to all the kids at school that you gave me your old childhood guardian after my dad met your dad. But to make matters worse, Hydron caught him downloading the plans, and everyone soon figured out he had been enlisted by Mira Fermin to act as a spy in the Regime. He was caught way too early and Hydron unleashed the day old Dryoid on him, and had my father and mother captured and imprisoned, and a 10,000,000 credit bounty put on me and my brothers head. I was a boy of 14 and I had no idea what to do, I hid in my school basement for weeks, and ran around the streets of Gamma City eating scraps like a rat, but I had your Hyper Dragonoid to keep me company. Clay felt so betrayed by my father that he begged the King to make the first “test” of Farbros and the Assail System public: executing my parents in the center of Gamma City, and forcing the entire population to watch as he commanded Farbros to obliterate them into atoms using Meteor Driver. There was nothing left when he stopped firing, and I could not cry because I was so angry with what I had just seen. But my brother was there too. Jake was never a good shot, but he fired on Professor Clay with a sniper rifle. The bolt barely missed his heart, and went clean through, only a wound was left. Clay recovered and was furious. He vowed to find me and my brother and do the same to us that he did to my parents. The bounty was raised, and when Jake found me after a few weeks I looked years older than I actually was, but Hyper Dragonoid was still in my pocket. He took me to New Vestroia and we hid in the Headquarters of the resistance. I trained your Hyper Dragonoid for months until he evolved into a Battle-Ready, uniquely colored Black Meta Dragonoid during battle. I met a girl, Naomi of Beta City, with a rare Aquos Storm Skyress. We got close, and developed feelings for one another. But as everything became perfect, the peace was shattered. Hydron found the base, and he and Dryoid, Lync Volan and Aluze, Volt Luster and Boriates, Shadow Prove Hades and Mac Spider, and Mylene Farrow and Macubass along with 15 Gunships full of Zenohelds men laid waste to the camp and killed everyone they could with their mechanical Bakugan. When I saw Naomis Aquos Storm Skyress fall out of the sky, I was enraged and tried to fight Mylene’s Macubass and Hydrons Dryoid two on one like a fool, but my brother saved my life with Reptak, who’s sky raider genes put him higher than both beasts. I battled Macubass and held my own with Black Meta Dragonoid, but Mylene became distracted and opened fire on us with Tsunami Hydrair, leaving the scene. But I looked over, as I was looking for Naomi and saw Reptak and Dryoid, Jake and Hydron were engaged in a brutal brawl to the death. It was the most savage display of power I had ever seen. As the Northern half of the resistance crumbled around my brother, him and Reptak fought valiantly against the Prince, nearly destroying Dryoid multiple times. But the unstoppable force that was Dryoid came out on top and used Retsu-Lightning to stab Reptak directly through the armor, seemingly mortally wounding him. Hydron then used a death ball to draw my brother into the void, but he did something else to seal Jacob’s fate: Dryoid fired Murasame Arrow into the death ball, killing my brother and sending his body into some backwater dimension. I was in disbelief and collapsed out of shock as a blast from Boriates shot me into a wall. I woke up with a concussion and the carnage was over, everyone was dead or captured, and I had officially lost everything. My brother died in front of me. I was a lone wolf with nothing left. But the site of the death ball had left a trace of my family: Reptak. He was in ball form, and I picked him up and left everything behind. The last remnant of my old life. We trained in the wilderness healing from the trauma we had experienced. We participated in the final fight against the BT and moved to Beta City when Helix Dragonoid saved the Bakugan. Then, I participated in the fight against the Alternative itself, and peace was brought to Vestal. Then you came back and started Vestal Interspace with that Brawler Marucho from earth and the Gundalian Ren, me and Reptak were thrilled. I felt alive when I was battling and I had gotten really good, we won the silver league multiple times but I never once faced you, because you vanished for a year, but I waited. Battling you was my goal. I beat Baron Leltoy three times, and beat Ace Grit to win the interspace title the month before Mag Mel came around. And when you came back as a Darkus brawler to fight Mag Mel and went to Earth, I was thrilled beyond belief. Now, here I sit. I’ve been your shadow for my entire life Spectra, I felt connected to that offer. I am not battling you to waste the potential of Helios, for Glory, or for anything else. I am battling you to become something I know I was meant to be: The Best. And I can do that only under your tutelage. Gauntlet Power Strike!”
The Battle “Gate Card Set! Bakugan Brawl! Baku Sky Raider Jump! Let’s go Pyrus Reptak! It’s time to take our crown!” Reptak descended onto the Gate Card in a meteoric torrent of fire “Let’s do it Boss!” Spectra put his mask on as he smiled and chuckled with excitement. “You have a different fire inside you, Apollo Sayer of Gamma City. Our pasts may have been barely linked by the errors of our fathers, but I sense your future will be as bright as ever. Do not disappoint me. Show me your power! Bakugan Brawl! Bakugan Stand! Come Forth, one last time, Darkus Infinity Helios!” Helios roared in triumph and landed onto the Gate Card: “My Power is Unmatched!” He gloated. “Ability Activate! Mighty Meteor!” Reptak’s fists opened and shot a volley of solid gigantic fireballs at Helios, slamming him back. “Stay down, Helios! Let’s counter fast, boss. Give me an order!” “Helios, Battle Warrior!” “Vulcan, this may be the one!” Gus said excitedly. “Helios has never been slammed back like that by any of these boring contestants we’ve seen, I agree Gus. There’s something about him.” Rex Vulcan said. “Tied Boss, it’s time to make a move!” Reptak said. “Right. Crimson Grappler!” Reptak’s Fists turned red, and he shot forward at Helios with a volley of punches, the dragon roared in pain. “Spectra let me get this jumping insect under control! Give me Bombaplode!” “With Pleasure Helios. Bakunano Bombaplode, Destroy!” Bombaplode formed five large barrels over Helios’ back. “Now, Ability Activate! Bolting Breaker!” Helios began to charge the cannons, but it would not work. “What trickery is this Reptak?” He angrily growled “This is the ability card Cheat Commissioner, Helios.” Apollo laughed as Spectra was now visibly frustrated by Reptak. “Your Bakunano is now rendered useless for the rest of this battle, and you can’t play support pieces for the rest of the match. This is now a show of Raw power only!” Apollo said triumphantly. “Now, Double Ability Activate! Flame Harvey Cannon plus Spar Hook!” Reptak’s back cannon moved to his shoulder and fired a high explosive torrent of fire, slamming Helios back into the ground. “Suck Laser!” He said Then, both of his shield arms opened and Reptak fired laser covered chains into the Dragons back, Helios yelled in pain as he crashed into the stadium seats, burning him for 800 Gs total. The smoke settled, and a male AI voice began to speak as a Purple Mechtogan shield radiated over Helios broken body Initiating FARBAS Infinity Protocol. Nullification Shield active. Damage from Crimson Grappler, 30 Percent. Healed Damage from Flame Harvey Cannon, Critical, healed Damage from Spar Hook, healed 10 Percent Copying five abilities, copying complete. Raising Base Power Level. FARBAS complete, Welcome Back Helios. “You’ll choke for that, Reptak!” Helios growled. “Did you really think it would be that easy, boy?” Spectra angrily laughed. “FARBAS infinity is the most powerful of its kind! Now Helios! Triple ability activate! Frenzy Blaster Plus Ragnarok Buster plus Clamor Quasar!” The turbine on Helios back open fired and peppered Reptak with a volley of purple energy bolts. “Argh! Boss Im hit he’s tough!” Reptak said in paid. “Stay Down you insect, Choke on this!” Helios gloated as he charged a ball of electrifying purple energy and shot a torrent of Darkus power directly into Reptak, sending him flying through the stands. Helios then opened his chest and fired a gigantic blast of energy at the already down Reptak, but he was still standing. The arena was now visibly destroyed, but Apollos Gauntlet was glowing. “Now Reptak! Shield Flare!” He said as a flaming aura absorbed the blast worth his entire Base power level and slowly lifted his G-Power up again, past Helios into near 3000 levels. “Take that on for size, you overgrown armored talking chicken! Now Sit Down Helios! Magnum Reliever!” Reptak said in passionate anger. Reptak’s arm shield began to encircle his fist and pulse with fire. He launched his fist, Gus Stood up in excitement as Helios was launched back into the air and into the stands, punching a giant hole into the building, Reptak’s fist returned to him, he was now at obscene levels of power. “Magnum Reliever prevents you from countering my abilities, time enough to make a significant counterattack!” Apollo said. “Now, Ultimate Ability Activate! Nova Kaiser!” Reptak glowed red with power and released a wave of energy from his fists that was so powerful it knocked over Vulcan in ball form. “What was that?” Gus exclaimed. “Gus, look on your gauntlet, he’s at 7500 Gs! That’s more than Assail Farbros!”. Vulcan exclaimed. “How is that possible??” Gus exclaimed, glued to the match at hand. “So much power!” Reptak yelled as the nigh-uncontrollable wave of energy radiated from his body. Spectra got up and held his gauntlet up. “Time to play hard ball. Bakunano Bombaplode Destroy! Fusion Ability Activate! Mauser Impact!” Helios’ chest barrel opened, and a Bombaplodes cannon array appeared from his back. “Did you miss this, Sayer?” Spectra laughed as the guns charged.“Choke on THIS!” Helios roared as all cannons fired into the energy pulse, shooting Reptak back. “They’re at barely even levels Vulcan, Sayers Gate Card is still in play, and Helios now has Bombaplode. Master Spectra has fought valiantly but this kid is a prodigy, I’ve never seen anything like this before, only Dan Kuso has been this effective in taking him down. Reptak has completely thrown a wrench into Master Spectra’s support piece based strategy and Sayer has exploited all weaknesses brilliantly.” Gus said, him and Vulcan completely invested into the match. Reptak was reeling from the attack, Helios had Precipice Blades active, getting ready to finish him. “Sayer, you will not beat me, but you will go out like a king! Infinity Helios is too powerful, will you make a last stand?!” “Time to find out! Consecutive Ability Activate! Flame Harvey Cannon-Impact Torrent, plus Fusion Ability Blitz Gladiator, Plus Exploding Turbulence!” Reptak’s back mounted cannon split into two as he shot a volley of red laser shots and a torrent of fire, shooting Helios into the air and deactivating Bombaplode. Then, his body glowed red with energy and began to crackle with electricity as he pulled Helios closer to him and released a loud, triumphant yell, erupting in flames shooting the black dragon into the ground even further. Gus flipped the table he was at and held his hands to his hair. “He did it!” Vulcan laughed. Helios returned to Ball Form, and spectra dropped to his knees, defeated. But Apollo held his hand out, and pulled the legend to his feet. “Just like that my career ends, I’m blown away.” Spectra said. “No, it doesn’t. It begins again as a teacher. Thank you for the battle, Keith. Now teach me everything you know.” Apollo said. “With pleasure, and I believe this is yours now.” Keith turned around, mask in hand, along with a case. It held Bombaplode, Twin Destructor, Zukanator, Blasterate, Metalfencer, a calling beacon for Slynix, a red pyrus Gauntlet, and many others. But it was missing one circular piece. “Helios?” Spectra said. His partner was hovering above the grass, sitting in ball form. “Does this change anything, Spectra” he solemnly asked his partner. “You’ve been my partner for the better part of twenty years. I can’t just willingly let you go without me, or go with someone I don’t know or want to battle with necessarily. I know you did this to find a partner for me and I respect you for that but now that the day is here, I don’t know if I can do it.” Helios was shaken to his core. “Neither did I. We have been through so many fires, my friend. I will always be grateful for you, and I will still use my research to upgrade you into the fiercest Bakugan to ever live. Apollo is a worthy student, a one of a kind battler, and is more deserving of you as a partner than anyone in this universe. Your adventures with him are just beginning.” “Take care of yourself, Keith Fermin. Thank you for everything.” Helios said. “You as well, partner.” Spectra was visibly shaken, drying what Apollo thought was a tear as he closed his iconic partner into ball form. “I believe this is also yours, take great care of him. I will be in touch, Apollo Sayer. We will take Vestal by storm.” Spectra said as the Vestal Destroyer appeared over the wrecked stadium, beaming him back into his ship. Apollo laid down in the charred grass, in complete disbelief that he had beaten the legendary Spectra Phantom. “Reptak, Helios, this chapter has closed. It’s time to reinvent ourselves.” Apollo said as he watched the ship go into the stars.
