"That never happened." Mayrdeklene said. "Chapter six never happened. We regard it as a Big Lipped Alligator Moment, pretend everything happened identical to cannon except for Kyūbi mode, Sasuke got the curse scar anyway, and that's it. Understand, boys?"

They didn't. marteline had started losing her class green powers ever since she had met Rock Lee, who had spurned her charms, and made her glamour fail. That or the author was getting bored with her, and wanted to move onto greater things. So although they did repress the memory of the previous chapter, it didn't fade entirely, nor did Sasuke's curse mark stay entirely stable, flashing off at the oddest moments. It was in this state that the team – tired, exhausted and confused – arrived at the tower. Maygedine figured out the riddle, but in .2 seconds, not a millionth of a plank time as she might have previously done, despite it being physically impossible to measure time that precisely. Still, the team made their way up the tower to rest before the prelims.

Despite the fact that preliminary battles practically never happen, the golden haired kunoichi, who was wearing the exact same clothes she has always worn, knew they would. She could see it in her blissful ceruliam orbs every time she saw her own reflection. Still, she wondered, perhaps the reflection was slightly tarnished? Some actual imperfections, not just ones that accentuated her beauty or made her Sueitiful All Along could be seen in it?

Naah, that was impossible. She put her hand mirror away, which she had somehow taken through the Forest of Death, and thus sealed her fate.

Perhaps she might have been able to prevent the future events from happening if she had looked a moment longer, and seen her golden hair begin to fade to the colour of a date.

She could have still warped reality; changed herself back to how she always wanted to be. But by the time she would wake up for the prelims, it would be now too late.

Madeline went down to the hall where the prelims were held. Some of the matchups, like Hinata vs Neji, were the same as canon, but some people fought the wrong opponents, although the same people went to the finals. Finally it was time for our blue eyed kunoichi to fight Ino.

Before MArdegin could make a move, Ino yelled "Shintenshin no jutsu!"

This technique should have given Ino control over her opponent's body. However, because of some yin/yang dichotomy green reality diffractions (AKA chakra based technobabble) she was forced inside her mind instead. Ino was quickly pushed out, but not before making some startling discoveries, and learning a new technique.

"You're not real! You have no past. You're just an empty space in the history of our world. Killing you would be nothing but removing an abandoned cobweb!" shouted Ino.

"That's a lie! I died in a chakraless world, and was reborn here! I'm an orphan with a tragic past! I am Sasuke's OTP! Don't you dare tell me I'm not real!" And with that, she got up, jumped, and put a kunai to Ino's chest.

Ino was desperate. She needed to get out of here, but how? Her only resort was to use the technique she had gleaned from her opponent's mind.

"Kuchiyose: Deus Ex Machina no jutsu!"

An object appeared. Everyone could see that it looked like a cube floating in midair, yet it had seven identical sides. A seven sided cube, made up of levers, joints and gears. Awed at the impossible sight, everyone's eyes were drawn to it as the machine activated. Gears whirred and joints clicked as the box expanded unto itself. Then the box opened and out stepped God. He waved his hand, and eradicated The Sue of the Many Pasts from existence, leaving Ino as the winner of the fight. He then pressed the Reset Button and stepped back into the machine, back to whence he came. And all was well. Sakura was restored to her canon position, and Madeline was forgotten.

Until the next Parody Sue arrived, obviously.

A/N: I killed off Madeline, as I've lost interest in it. I also don't want to write this story much anymore. Sorry to the one person who cares. Since FFnet doesn't let you do a chapter that's just an AN, you had this last chapter. Hope you a more literal Deus ex Machina (latin for god from the machine) than that of the previous chapter! Also, SCP shoutouts.
