(A/N: Here's another remastered chapter, enjoy!)

*****

The next day…

It was a very cloudy day in the city. At Metropolis High, Victor was seen walking through the halls after finishing up on history class with a satisfied smile, the bell ringing as school was done for the day. Yesterday was truly a great day, made quite the impact, impression and sheer dominance against two bullies, though one of them tried to a forced a kiss to hit a dirty cheap shot only to get a reaction of his powers, figuring that out later, found three potential friends & managed to go to war with, fought & dethrone one of the biggest and baddest villains in Gorilla Grodd, proving that He himself, Grim Gamma, shall be the one who take this world.

He made his point very clear when he sent a very haunting message to not just Metropolis but to the entire world itself with his worldwide dark magic dome filled with malicious intent… Grim Gamma was the talk of the planet, everyone was put on direct notice either if they were all heroes or villains who would try to stop him, challenge him for wanting to rule the world or being able to flee as the rest feared him. It was good, The Green Eyed Nightmare welcomed the fear as well as those who would challenge him, his monster side hungry for battle. He thought about the Superhero girls who were defeated by Grodd, maybe once they recovered from their shame along with getting back from wherever he transported them to, he'll challenge the six heroine at their best.

Victor/Grim Gamma got what he wanted for now, he was going to take some time off before the Green Eyed Nightmare would strike again…

Victor opens his locker, taking out his bag to place his books and assignments in & closed the door, only to jump a bit upon seeing Harleen standing there with a big smile.

Victor: (in his mind, to the readers) I know this is a case of deja vu from the previous version of my tale but… Da F***?!

Harleen: Hello there Victor! Ya seem to be in a satisfyin’ mood in enterin’ day 2 in your stay in Metropolis High School! I wonder why…? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Victor: Well… it's a fine day, classes weren't all bad. The Halloween spirit is going by through the whole school, decorations and all. And some students boys & girls won't stop looking at me funny…

Harleen: Eh, they're probably just shooken up at the fact that ya managed to beat two of the nastiest bullies in school, thinking that you'll be the new school bully. That & the fact some girls were jealous of Leslie for forcin’ a kiss on ya & some of the boys who had a thing for sparky were a little jealous that ya got kissed instead of them. Still being your first-

Victor: That kiss doesn't count as my first & you know it!

Harleen puts her hands up in defense while giggling.

Victor: Plus, I'm not the new school bully nor am I aiming to be. I hate bullies in general. And I know they're your friends, making a lot of assumptions but they try to advance on me again, I won't hold back…

Harleen: (smiles) I wouldn't blame ya if you did. While Muscles can be pushy and aggressive & Sparky can be very naughty & sneaky with her viral pranks on people but they're really fun to hang out with.

Victor: (Deadpan look) Uh-huh…

The two walked towards the school exit as every student was leaving.

Harleen: Speaking of pranks, I'm a bit of a prankster myself & boy do I love a crack a joke, start out with puns & saddle up pranks for days!! Especially on Halloween, so ya better hope ya have some candy all piled up in stock for this year or I'm eggin’ yer house with silly strings, toilet paper, honey & feathers!

Victor couldn't help but chuckle at Harleen's cheerful yet wild & mischievous side. He's really starting to like her for it.

Victor: How could you even try? You don't even know where I live & I'm no slouch either in pranks, especially when Prank Kombat is initiated.

Harleen: Prank Kombat?

Victor: Yeah… oh yeah… it's quite a big deal where I was from, my five friends and I came up with it & when I or they begin to prank… (scary grin) it's no mercy…

Harleen's smile forms into a scary grin of her own.

Harleen: Oh… I can handle no mercy… it just urges me to challenge ya at this Prank Kombat event one day… & believe ya me, you'll be the one beggin’ for mercy…

Victor laughs.

Victor: You are a crazy girl, two days here and I'm already starting to like you.

Harleen giggles as the two were already out of the school.

Harleen: I tend to have that effect on people. Soooooo… got any plans for Halloween?

Victor: Honestly, I don't yet. Halloween is my favorite holiday with the treats, tricks, monsters & spirits and I already have my place already decorated for the occasions. However, I don't have anything on the schedule so far.

Harleen let out a loud gasp, grabbing Victor by the shoulders & looking him dead in the eye.

Victor: Uhhh…?

Harleen: Then ya gotta come with me & Babsy to Gotham! The houses there have the best candy, haunted festivities and scares that'll freak ya out of yer pants!

Victor thought about it.

Harleen: Also, there's gonna be a massive Halloween party at our old Gotham High School, Selina's already goin’ & has her ticket. I have one & Babs has one, I have an extra one but my other friends already have other plans so would ya like to go with Babsy & me, pretty please?

Harleen had big, sparkly blue eyes in a puppy dog fashion. Victor was no stranger to that kind of treatment but feels intrigued by this Gotham City for some reason & there's better Halloween candy and Haunted houses there, how can he say No?

Victor: Ya know what, my schedule is clear & I can ask my assistance Thomas to fill in for giving out candy, Sign me up.

Harleen let out a happy squeal and hugs Victor tightly.

Harleen: Thank ya very much! Ya won't regret this!

Victor: I hope not or Gotham's getting the biggest prank of it's life.

Harleen gets a text/video on her phone.

Harleen: Hahahaha!

Victor: What's so funny?

Harleen: Oh nothing. Just another video about this big, green eyed giant beatin’ the bananas off Gorilla Grodd! Gotta admit, that message scared me senseless but at the same time, this Grim Gamma guy intrigues me in a way!

Victor: (surprised by her reaction) Oh…

Harleen: Yeah. Talk about a take on the whole world attitude, love it! Reminds me of some villains out there who wants the chaos to happen, hahahaha! Like him already!

Victor chuckles.

Harleen: Anyways, I gotta meet up with my friends, I'll see ya soon to give ya the extra ticket, bye Victor!

Victor: See ya soon too, Harleen!

The two went their separate ways as Victor went on his means of transportation; a bright green sports motorcycle. He got on it and took off, unaware that six figure were watching from a nearby building rooftop before vanishing.

******

Victor then seen riding through the town on his way home, he looks up at the clouds followed by small droplets of rain, a storm was coming. He then speeds up on yellow before the light can turn red, making a right straight turn before stopping at another red light. As the young man was waiting for the green light, something caught his eye; Down the street, three punks, two men & one woman were picking on someone who was just sitting on the sidewalk. It was woman about 22 years old, strangely & surprisingly, she bared a striking resemblance to Harleen Quinzel, but she had messy pale blonde hair with streaks of light blue and pink, her skin was paler followed by sploshes of filth, scars & scratches, pale blue eyes, dark blue lipstick on said lips & has a curvaceous & busty figure. She was wearing tattered & ripped clothes and was bare foot.

She was holding a cardboard sign that said “Hire Please, Will work for food” in black marker. From Victor’s point of view, the woman was a homeless person. She looked miserable in the eyes with a near emotionless look as the three punks were either pulling her hair, spitting in her face, mocking & insulting her, slapping her around but she wouldn't do anything about it.

Punk 1: Look at her, she ain't even doing anything, guess she's worse at reactions!

Punk 2: It shows that she's a nobody. Started out as one and is always gonna be one, hahaha!

Lady Punk: Though I hate to admit it, she has quite the bod on her. I'm actually jealous…. I hate that! Let's rough her up so she won't be pretty anymore!

Punk 1: Yeah but not before we have some… fun with her, Hehehehe~.

The two nodded and grabbed the woman, planning to take her to the alleyway. Victor let out a deep sigh, getting off the motorcycle and running towards them.  While he's not a hero & a villain, he had standards in what he does. But the one thing he NEVER tolerates in what certain villains, criminals or even lowly punks/thugs would do….

It's Forced Sexual Intercourse/Assaults.

The three were dragging the woman, who was silently weeping deep in the alleyway.

Punk 2: Don't cry sweet cheeks, once we start our fun, you'll be happy & begging for more-

Victor's voice: Hey, you sick F***s!

The three punks’ attention was caught when the second punk was grabbed by Victor and threw him head first into a brick wall, hard. The first punk and lady punk caught Victor in their sight, beating the living hell out of the second punk until he was but a bloody mess of a corpse. Victor was breathing heavily with glowing green eyes, turning to the other two.

Punk 1: Who are you? This ain't none of your business, kid! Ya think you can beat on my friend & get away with it?! Oh, you're dead!

He let's go of the woman & pulls out a pocket knife. Victor didn't answer and only glares darkly as the large punk lunged at him, swinging his knife around to slice & stab Victor, who would effortlessly dodge, evade and catch the attacks. He then catch the arm with the punk's grip on the knife, bends it in an awkward twist on the wrong followed by a couple of snaps & pops, the punk screaming in agony until Victor grabs him and judo flipped across the alleyway through a steel fence, completely unconscious but Victor throws the knife in the air later to land blade first on the head, killing the punk.

He turns to the final punk, who drops the woman as she was shaking. Victor slowly approaches the lady punk, fists covered in slight blood & burning green pupils staring a hole through the target.

Lady Punk: (nervous) Y-You wouldn't hit a woman, would ya kid?

Victor: These fists are unisex…

That horrified the lady punk. Not wanting to end up like their two friends, she immediately bolted out the alleyway, only to not see where she was going & got ran over by a lexcorp truck, her body flying across the street & through the window of an abandoned warehouse some thugs were using as a hideout, completely spooked by a now damaged & dead lady punk on the ground, screaming.

Victor let out a deep breath with his green eyes pale blue again. He turns to the weeping woman who slowly backed away, obviously scared of what happened.

Victor: Easy, easy there. I'm not gonna hurt you. I don't like when people are taken advantage of sexually, it gravelly pisses me off. But that's not the point, I saw your sign & are you in need of a job?

The woman weakly nodded.

Victor: Well my name is Victor Emerald, I'm an orphan of a dead rich family and I live with my assistance/caretaker. I'm looking for some potential help around the house & tasks outside of it, how would you like to come to work for me as a maid? And no, I'm not going to be a bitter boss to you, you'll have a free room since it's a big house, food, neat clothes, water & believe me, you have a good amount of pay every time you get a job done with some break time too. Whatta ya say…?

The woman thought about it for a moment before slowly nodding with slight tears.

Victor: (slight smile) Good. Now, let's go. My assistance is also an expert doctor so he'll look you over to take care of you in order to see if something is wrong with you.

He gently grasp her hand, leading the woman out of the alleyway to his motorcycle, getting on it with the woman hopping on it from behind, holding on as Victor drove off with her. Later, he & the woman arrived at his mansion as the homeless person was surprised by it, Victor invited her in and waiting was a tall man in his early 30’s, light fair skin, slightly long black hair slicked back, a well trimmed moustache/goatee combo, icy blue eyes, an impressive lean athletic body. He was wearing a long black trench coat, a black & white three piece suit, black gloves & dress shoes while wearing a strange, silver medallion with a mystic eye emblem.

Victor: Greetings Thomas Strange.

Thomas: Greetings Master Victor and… company, I take it?

He stares at the woman.

Victor: Yep.

The screen freezes and Victor turns to the readers.

Victor: (narrating) I know in my writer's story on his old version, I created Thomas with my constructing fantasy magic but in this rewrite, here's a different take. Heh, sorry if I'm pulling a Deadpool on you guys in the middle of the chapter, it'll happen from time to time.

Deadpool: (appearing) Hey! What's wrong with pulling a Me?!

Victor: Oh shut up! You're not even in my story!

Deadpool: Well my evil version from your universe-

NexusCrow-X: (appears) Oh nonononono! Don't you f**king spoil anything, Wade! I'm still rewriting my fanfic story about you, Harley & Jinx, so leave the grim gamma universe and don't mess up anything or I'm cancelling the rewrite! (disappeared)

Deadpool: Alright Alright, Geez! Always gotta such a-

He was poofed out.

Victor: (narrating) Okay, back on topic. This version of Thomas is a Dr. Strange variant. He's from a different universe where Dr. Stephen Strange had a brother, both skilled doctors, lost their hands in an accident, learned the ways of magic, etc. And while the sorcerer supreme was seen as quite the hero, Thomas wasn't really fortunate, seen as a secondary, inferior magic user compared to his brother & boy did Baron Mordo use that feeling to turn Thomas against Stephen as the two would clash with him losing to the sorcerer supreme. Instead of vowing vengeance or standing for his crimes, Thomas used a forbidden spell to transport to another world, he would learn more different ways of magic, traveling to the next parallel dimension to the next to the next & so on, gaining more abilities but he had no interest in fighting his brother again, being a hero to protect or being a villain in conquering with all the power he's got… he decided to be a neutral dimensional assist for hire, whether his lead employer is good, neutral or bad. Again, Multiversal theory is a b***h, after my victory over celebrating at home, he appeared before me to offer assistance, who am I to deny that? Between you and me… I'm his 70th employer. Now back to the story.

The screen unfreezes as the identified Thomas Strange stepped forward.

Thomas: I take it that this woman needs some medical attention?

Victor: Yes. She'll be a hired help but for now, the woman needs to a good check up, freshened up and a good meal.

Thomas: Of course, Master Victor. Ma'am, if you'll please follow me.

The woman hid behind Victor, shaking.

Victor: Look, you need to get tended to if you're going to start your job. I guarantee you that Thomas is a professional and won't cause any harm to you, trust me.

The woman looked at him for a minute before turning to Thomas. She gave a brief nod.

Victor: Alright, now go with him.

Thomas turns to leave with the woman following him while Victor heads to the kitchen to make some brunch.

******

The next day…

It was a slight storm this evening but not too much rain drizzling as Victor was had every vehicle from his late ex father's collection all stacked in a second massive garage he magically constructed for a sale today from custom cars to trucks to motorcycles, etc. Sure he kept a few for himself but the rest Victor decided to give away for more money, the sale doesn't start until 5:30pm.

Thomas has finished looking over the woman the gamma mutate saved from being violated & sexually assaulted; so far, there was no serious transmitted diseases but she's severely dehydrated, some bones sprained and/or fractured, two ruptured organs & a bad liver, luckily, Thomas was prepared to help the woman out in the med lab. Victor wouldn't rush, he'll wait after the woman is perfectly healthy & well cared for to start her new job.

Victor: Alright then, every vehicle is all set up and ready to be sold. From sedans to convertibles to sports cars to honda civics to corvettes to muscle cars to lamborghinis to Rvs to trucks, hummers, vans, motorcycles, mountain bikes, limos, etc. Almost close to 5:30. Hmmm?

Victor noticed someone walking on the sidewalk across from his home, he recognized the person revealed to be Selina, who was carrying shopping bags in one hand & holding an umbrella with the other.

Victor: Hey Selina, how's it going?!

Selina turns to the voice, seeing Victor while taking in the sight of his home.

Selina: (smiles slyly; in her mind) Meow~... What a splendid home. (Spoke) Well hello there, Emerald~.

Selina decided to come over, walking across the street to approach the gates. Victor in seeing this, yells “open gate” as the gates automatically unlock and open up for Selina to walk inside, looking around. The cat burglar had to admit that she was impressed with the luxurious style of Victor's mansion that & the Halloween decorations, she wondered what the inside of the house looked like. She then approached the massive garage where Victor was present, eyeing the vehicle collection.

Selina: My my, what a vast collection of vehicles you have here from retro to ordinary to new to custom made, etc. You a collector, Victor?

Victor: Actually, these are my father's. He always had a habit of collecting vehicles but never really drove any of them, just placing them away to collect dust so since I own them now, I decided to clean them up & put them up for sale to earn some more money. If you want to, why not take a look to see if you're interested in buying a car?

Selina then thought about it. She already has a car but perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have another one.

Selina: Sure, why not?

Victor: (smiles) Perfect. Feel free to scout.

Selina nods with a smirks, the feline thief taking a look around & scouting each vehicle of the collection. Most of them were quite nice or well customed in their own way compared their original take. Selina then spots a vehicle that caught her eye, a well customed, black & purple trim lamborghini in the row.

Selina: Mmmmm, this is a purrrrfect ride, how much for it~?

Victor: Hmmmmm, Originally it was 23,000 dollar but I reduced the price to just 1,000.

Selina did thought about stealing it instead when Victor is either away or asleep but the feline thief was feeling quite generous today. Out of the bank of billions she “burrowed” from, she pulls out 1,000 to give to Victor.

Selina: Here you go. Oh & how much for the sports motorcycle? I'm planning on getting Harleen a gift.

She points to the custom sports blue & red motorcycle.

Victor: 59 dollars.

Selina hands him said cash, Victor then walked away to one of the rooms in the garage and later comes back with the keys to Selina's new car to give to her.

Victor: Here you go. Enjoy your new car, Ms. Kyle.

Selina: (chuckles) Oh I plan on it. I'll come back later to get the motorcycle for Harleen, she'll have a field day with it~.

Victor: Alright. And I've put a Sold sign on the motorcycle so you won't have to worry about someone claiming it.

Selina: Good.

Unlocking the new car with her keys, Selina places her shopping items & umbrella in the passenger seat while getting in the driver’s seat as she starts the car & fires up the engines.

Selina: Gotta love the car purring for me~.

Victor: The path is cleared, have a great one, Selina.

Selina: You too, Emerald~.

With a goodbye wave, Selina drive her new lamborghini out of the garage, down the driveway through the open gate & away from the mansion at swift speed.

Victor: (counts his money) A satisfied customer.

Later, a couple of civilians were looking for a new vehicle at Victor's sale. So far, business was booming as the customers were coming & the vehicles were going one by one, followed by an ever growing stack pile of cash he'll put a great use. Once the sale was over & the customers left with their new vehicles, Victor was about to transport all the cash pile into his vault when he felt a sharp presence went through his head.

Victor: …?!

Then he heard a cold female voice in his mind.

???: Can you hear me, Victor…?

Victor: … Depends on who's asking? If you're a telepathic mutant trying to control my mind or explode my brain, you're wasting your time.

???: Nothing of the sort. If you wish to know, come straight to Metropolis cemetery by nightfall. You'll have your answer then, don't be late…

The presence within his head vanished. Victor narrowed his eyes, was he gonna show up to the cemetery? Yes. Whoever it is that called him out, better not try anything funny or it's death by a grade A smackdown.

******

At Metropolis Cemetery…

It was dark as the storm continued in Metropolis, the cemetery itself was seen, the black gates surrounded the wide area of gravestones shrouded in fog. Victor shows up on his motorcycle, parking it and gets off to walk towards the front gates which were locked. The wind howled with the lightning flashing in the clouded sky.

Victor: What a lovely and scary scenery on a month of spooks. Stormy night, a foggy cemetery, now all that's left is a killer stalking.

Jinxing it, Someone was sneaking behind him, a hooded figure with a male shaped lean athletic build with a knife in hand was approaching closely ready to strike. Victor narrowed his eyes & back fists the hooded figure in the face, falling to the ground unconscious. Victor turns to the guy, seeing his face, he was bald, a stitch across his face, crooked teeth, pointed nose & ears and odd lumps on his head.

Victor: Huh? A real killer. And disturbing one at that, must've escaped an asylum. Heh, I'll fix that.

Victor used his magic to turn the killer's cloak into an enchanted, inescapable straitjacket.

Victor: And back to an asylum you go.

A green portal opens up under the killer as he falls in, closing up. With that of the way, Victor climbs up the steel gates, jumping over the other side to land on his feet. He takes a walk through the foggy cemetery, hearing only the storm, a howl from a far distance and passing by each gravestone. Continuing down the path, Victor could tell that he was being watched from the shadows or the mass of the fog, it was then he made a stop in the center of the cemetery, the voice that interacted in his mind earlier was heard again, but in person yet unseen.

???: I see you managed to comply.

Victor: Yeah. Now why don't you come out to speak your mind. If I don't like what I hear, you better be prepared…

???: As you wish…

Out of the fog appeared six cloaked figures.

Victor: Six of you, hmm? So now get on with this matter, who are you and what do you want from me?

???: I spend time trying to track you down, like the five you see before me, I found them one by one and finally you…

Victor: (raised an eyebrow) Finally found me? I fail to understand the situation. We never met each other before.

???: Perhaps we should show you, the cloaks were just for the rain.

The group of six removed their cloaks, throwing them aside and before Victor's eyes which widened in shock of seeing the six figures of two teenage boys, three teenage girls & one woman standing. He took in their appearance for a moment before finally recognizing them as the missing five friends from his world along with the big sister of one of them.

Victor: It's you guys… but you disappeared without a trace. James, Breanne Rivers, Jessica Rivers, Brooke Rivers, Sid Qrow & Liz Qrow….

Sid Qrow is a slightly tall teenage young man with pale skin, cold blue eyes, short neck length black hair & a lean athletic body. He was wearing a black trench coat, dark gray dress shirt & black vest, black dress pants & black shoes.

Brooke Rivers is a slightly tall teenage girl with slightly long blonde hair with purple streaks, red eyes, fair skin & has a beautiful & athletic body. She was wearing ear piercings, a red & purple custom jacket, black sleeveless shirt, dark blue jeans with shreds & purple boots.

Jessica Rivers is a slightly tall teenage girl with slightly short & messy blonde hair & piercing yellow eyes, fair skin & has a strong and feminine body. She was wearing a custom black & yellow trim leather jacket with shoulder spikes, a black shirt, fingerless biker gloves, black leather jeans & black and yellow trim boots.

Breanne Rivers is a tall teenage girl with long blonde hair in a downwards ponytail & a blue streak, cold blue eyes, fair skin and a strong muscular & curvaceous body. She was wearing a short sleeve black shirt, black/dark gray/blue army camouflage cargo pants and black & blue boots.

James is a slightly tall teenage boy with light brown skin, short black hair with a white streak on the left, orange eyes and an impressive athletic body. He was wearing an orange & black hoodie, a short sleeve shirt with a fist symbol on it, dark blue jeans and black & orange symbol.

And Liz Qrow is an 8 ft tall goth woman with very pale skin, longer black hair, cold blue eyes, black lipstick on said lips & has an ample curvaceous and very bulky figure. She was wearing a long sleeve tight black shirt with the words “Workhorse Goth” in white on the chest, dark blue jeans and black & silver stud boots.

Liz: A pleasure to see you again.

Victor: I don't understand. How are you here? How did you know I'd be here?

Liz said nothing & brought up her right arm, snapping her finger as something engulfed said arm in black & blue-ish white aura. Before Victor's eyes, he recognized it from his world in knowledge of it, it was a black & white modified skullclad version of the infinity gauntlet with all six infinity stones in place.

Victor: The infinity gauntlet & stones… Just how…?

Liz: Anything is possible… within the Multiverse…

(A/N: As I explained before in the previous version of my story, Sid, Liz, Breanne, Jessica, & Brooke are old OCS of mine from my loud house stories but James is new. Again, I gotta give thanks to Lance1889 for Liz & Sid’s last names & to dbz619 for the last names of the three alphas.)

******

Later…

Victor was seen sitting on the couch in silence. He decided to transfer this… intervention to his house. Standing across him were Liz, Sid, Breanne, Jessica, Brooke & James. The woman with the infinity gauntlet, who's icy eyes gazed at him while some looked around the place for a moment before turning to him. A million questions spiraled around in the dark magic gamma Hybrid's head right now of what's going on here? Where were they the whole time? And how did Liz get the infinity stones?

Liz: I can see that your mind is flooding with many questions… As I repeat, anything is possible within the Multiverse…

Victor lets out a deep sigh with a chuckle.

Victor: Of course. The Multiverse theory be a b***h.

Jessica: Tch. That's what I said.

Brooke: Hehe, you have quite a place here. From the size of it, you must've had quite a celebration after making your presence known in beating down a large, intellectual super gorilla, (smirks) Grim Gamma.

Victor: (shocked; In his mind) Da F**k?!

Sid: We have our ways, while we don't know the full story of how you became like that but you & the monster are one in the same.

Victor: …. You're psychic, aren't you?

Sid gave a deadpan look.

Brooke: What he means is that we'd been through it all in different worlds & you're not the only one with powers.

Victor: So you all…? And how did you six end up knowing about or end up in various places through the Multiverse?

Liz: Yes, allow us to begin our tale before we hear yours.

The Six each take a seat as Liz explains herself.

Liz: You see Victor, during one of my daily trips to the shops with Sid & the others, I spotted a very rare amulet. It had quite an allure to it, so I paid for it.

Victor: What's an antique amulet have to do with this?

Sid: Shush.

Victor looks at him.

Sid: Listen.

Liz: Turns out there was more to the amulet, otherwise, Iron Imperious wouldn't have come after us.

Victor remembered the Leader of the Atrocious Avengers.

Liz: The Amulet was actually a Siege Perilous, a key to access worlds beyond our current one & he wanted it for his own nefarious purposes. Iron Imperious was very relentless in trying to get the Siege Perilous from me, even if he had to pry it from my lifeless corpse. We had to escape as it was my goal to protect my brother & my adopted children.

Victor: Wait, adopted?

Sid pointed to The rivers sisters and James, he understands now.

Liz: Iron Imperious tried to fatally attack us but it hit the Siege Perilous which activated & sent us all to different worlds in separation.

Victor: So that's how you all vanished. What world(s) did you six go to?

Sid decided to go first while showing a metamorphosis to Victor, his skin got paler, his eyes turned golden yellow with sharp slits & his teeth bared fangs, shocking the gamma mutate as he began his story.

Sid: I was transported to an ancient land of monsters. Main Heroes were vampires & Main Villains were werewolves in a heated war for years. While wandering in the wrong path, I was bitten by one of the good vamps gone bad, yeah, some vamps & lycans will be turncoats for their own reasons. I was trying to survive & struggling to deal with the thirst for blood when I met a variant of Blade. He is known as the Walker among the Sun, a neutral vampiric ninja who taught who taught me to use my new found abilities, gave me the weapons to hunt & gave me a vial mixed with his blood to survive the sunlight, made a name for myself in slaying vampiric & lycan version of heroes & villains as I was a neutral case. I'm known as the assassin, Night Spirit.

Victor: Huh, talk about a ninja universe with Twilight Saga Twist.

Sid returned to normal.

Sid: I much prefer Underworld than Twilight Saga.

Brooke was up next. She brings up her left hand as violet red fire engulfed it, her skin instantly disintegrated, showing bone surrounded by the flames.

Brooke: For me, I entered a world of an apocalyptic age, heroes & villains fighting for survival instead of good & evil, justice or injustice, pure or vile… it's all for life & death. Talk about a Mad Max style mixed with demonic creatures & chaotic warriors. I was straight in the warzone, trying to get away but I ended up caught and set up as a sacrifice for everlasting life by the clan of M.

Victor: M?

Brooke: M for Mephisto.

Victor groans.

Victor: Ugh, him. I swear, in any universe that Demon Lord is nothing but trouble. So… you're a Rider?

Brooke nodded, explaining.

Brooke: I was saved from them by the Vengeful Spectres, a survival group composed of multiple ghost riders made of Hawkeye, Black Widow, Wolverine, Rogue, Beast, The Hulk, She-Hulk, Human Torch, Invisible Woman, & Deadpool. All rebels led by the variant of the main Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze, who was like a second father to me. They all took me in, gave me a home, slowly but surely I got along with the rest of the riders. It made me wish to join them, to become like them so by using the Orb of Zarathos which contains the everlasting essence of the Spirit of Vengeance, I was given the powers of the Ghost Rider. We would ride through the ruined earth, bringing down the wicked evil much worse than the last, not as heroes but executioners, I go by Flare-Skull since it'll be crazy for everyone to go by Ghost Rider.

Victor: True. Do they?

Brooke: No dude. While everyone in the Vengeful Spectres were all ghost riders, Johnny Blaze went by the title Ghost Rider alone while everyone else went by their own namesake despite the spirit of vengeance flowing through us all.

Victor: Okay then…

Jessica was up next.

Jessica: I was sent to a world of humans hating mutants & all that crap. The scumbags of the Mutant Response Division created a special collar to use on mutants, to take away their free will and cater to the humans every whim as slaves since Robert Kelly as the prez in charge allowed this law to happen. And anyone who helps or hides mutants shall either be locked away, killed or subjected to painful DNA altering experiments to mutate them in order to be sold to the highest human bidder as a mutant slave.

Victor narrowed his eyes angrily which glowed green.

Jessica: I was one of them who defended a little mutant girl, who helped her escape but I was not so lucky. (Frowns darkly) I was captured & sentenced to the Mutant Response Facility and subjected to Project WX (Weapon X). They injected me with DNA samples from a Wolverine variant called Wolv-scar, mutant brawler and adamantium, making me into a berserker. That really, really hurt… They dragged me down into this underground mutant brawl arena where mutants fight for humans’ amusement & high bets on the mutant fighting to earn money or to buy said fighter for the right price. Just when I thought that world couldn't get any crappier, being locked up in a cage with nothing but the cold darkness, the pain & loathsome and the screams, yells, snarls, roars & wails of other mutants in their confinements drove me nuts… (snarls) waking up every morning to fight… force to fight, force to fight, Fight! Fight! Fight!

Pow!!

Brooke: Ouch!

Brooke rubs her right shoulder, glaring at her triplet sisters. Victor noticed something off about Jessica's behavior, that and something shooting out of her knuckles being three sharp metal claws.

Jessica: As days, weeks, months, and years go by… I Hehehehe…. (a crazy smile slowly creeps up on her face) I couldn't get enough of it, I've gone to love fighting… to love pain, to love the thrill & I wanted more of it. As I grew, so did my fighting experience & lust for the cage brawl, hehehe… hence my alter ego Cage Claw because of it, my winning streak went through the roof by knockout, submission & death against every mutant I fought, It quelled my fury & insanity to just go at it again & again & again!!!

Jessica let out a psychotic laugh and was looking to lash out. But Liz instantly got up with arms wrapped in an embrace from behind the snapped blonde girl.

Liz: Shhhhhh. Shhhh. Remember your breathing exercises, Jessica. In & out.

Jessica's laughter slowly died down, inhaling and exhaling before taking a calm yet near emotionless look before Liz sat her down. Victor was at a loss for words, witnessing Jessica's mental breakdown.

Liz: (sighs) Jess is still… shaken up about that, during my retrieval of her, I freed the mutants from that world's vile grip on them.

Victor: Oh.

James decided to speak next.

James: The world I ended up in was a futuristic reality where mutants and humans co-existed together in making an equal paradise, courtesy of the Brotherhood of X-Warriors & S.H.I.E.L.D. Neos. However, they don't have much room for humans & mutants who are cold, demented, crazy & want nothing more than to either control the paradise for their own or burn it to the ground to enjoy the chaos.

Victor: Eh, pure vs impure political power.

James: Yeah. They come from the Nether-City, full of human and mutant thieves, assassins, psychos, killers, you name it. Anyone who enters their territory will have a tough time surviving there, against a single or a whole army of them. Unfortunately, I ended up in the Nether-City, trying not to get put on the chopping block. I know what I've learned in fighting & sports wasn't gonna be enough against experienced individuals, especially if one of them are mutants. So I came across a strange shop sells augmentation potions that grant mutant abilities to a human or add additional power to a mutant’s existing ones but the price was high so I decided to steal two while the clerk & his large mutated dogs were on my tail, I drunk the two vials, gaining near unbreakable skin mixed with the elemental power of Earth, tearing through the attackers like tissue.

Victor: Another way to create a mutant.

James smirks with his eyes glowed a bit, the entire house was rumbling like an earthquake hit before it came to a halt.

James: Yep. A variant of Deadpool known as Ghostpool, a phantom mutant mercenary, saw my fight & offered to train me but man, that guy is insane and humorous. He taught me more about fighting, to hone, master & further use my power as well as proficiency of weaponry & survival tactics, taking me on jobs for high bounties human or mutant to roll in the big bucks. Anyone who was on my hit list is my target, I was known as the mercenary of the underground, Gravestone.

Victor: Gravestone, huh? Very Catchy.

James: Thanks man. Ghostpool attempted to call me Rocko-quake, Captain Boulder, Earth Lad, Rock Thunda or Mr. Stone-pants but those didn't work for me.

Victor was struggling not to laugh, especially at the last super name. Once James was done, Breanne then stood up to approach Victor, who was confused by her cold gaze.

Breanne: Stand. Up.

Victor could tell that Breanne was serious so he decided to oblige her, standing up to meet her gaze in a staredown. The blonde haired tough girl raised her right arm with her hand open.

Breanne: To me.

Victor: To me?

An azure blue light sparked in Breanne's hand to take the form of a large, white, blue & black blade. Victor was wide eyed as Breanne lifted the blade that was bigger than her body with ease, with the intent to cut Victor in half. He caught the blade with a grunt, glaring with black eyes & glowing green pupils at Breanne who stared back at him with an icy gaze. He felt the blade itself not just the touch but senses magic, very powerful magic radiating from the blade. While Victor saw Breanne staring at him as well as the monster behind his eyes, he noticed that her eyes were now a blue green, it felt like his own.

He was undoubtedly staring at the monster behind Breanne's eyes.

Victor: You're… like me?

Breanne: I was sent to a world where a group of individuals like General Ross, J. Jonah Jameson & Robert Kelly grew paranoid and resental of the Avengers, The X-Men, The Fantastic Four, The Defenders, etc, thinking that they're above humanity & that they'll turn on them, going rogue & becoming the very evil the heroes have sworn to stop. It drove them to madness & to their core to create an organization known as the Humane Division, creating trained weapons to use in order to “protect” humanity from their supposed destructive heroes, given their subjects DNA from beings they acquired it from secretly to infuse, alter & strengthen the test subjects, creating their own empowered soldiers to control.

Victor: And you're one of those soldiers?

Breanne retracted the blade from Victor's hand, saying “begone” as the blade disappeared.

Breanne: Yes. I was given the Hulk's DNA to become the Humane Unit's monstrous powerhouse, my codename: The Decimator. With the neural device implanted in my head, they would train & control me and the others to target those who are a threat to their world, like the Hulk to General Ross, The mutants especially the X-Men to Robert Kelly and Spider-Man to J. Jonah Jameson.

Victor: Sheesh, I've learned of Spider-Man Prime 616 and his moments with the short stache, beady eyed “wants to know who’s under the mask & menace menace menace” grouchy bastard & I feel like in every universe whether original or parallel, Spider-Man is hated by that jackass.

Breanne: search fought many in that world, all for their twisted beliefs against my will to take them out. One day, I was ordered to target Wolverine next. In a heated battle, he struck his claw through my head, hitting my brain but the device on it, I fell in a temporary state of shock. My wound slowly healed as the chip was destroyed, I was free & I was really angry. So I took my anger out on the three that did this to me, Ross, Jonah, Kelly, everyone in the Humane Division wasn't spared, I burned the entire organization to the ground.

Victor: Nice. And what about that large blade you materialized? It had a massively powerful amount of magic.

Breanne: Oh, I was once ordered to target Thor, it happened during an invasion on Asgard with Loki. I failed to take out the God of Thunder but I managed to grab the enchanted broadsword from one of Loki’s elite guards. It has come in handy against magic type opponents.

Victor: Cool.

And finally, Liz was last.

Liz: As for my tale… I landed in a world where everything was ruled by the leader of the Inner Demons, Martin Li aka Mr. Negative. Some of the heroes of that world fell to him, some got corrupted by him & others formed a resistance against him in order to keep hope alive. I was caught in the crossfire, wondering if you were all here… the Siege Perilous was no longer in my possession. I tried to survive & fight for my life but in the end… I was captured & corrupted to become one of Mr. Negative's Brutes.

Liz's entire body was engulfed by a black & blue-ish white aura, her whole body looking like a frightening, negative inverse photo of energy.

Victor: Whoa.

Liz returned to normal.

Liz: I did… horrible things in his name, killed countless people who opposed him as blood stained my visage. However, for some reason, it felt faint like my will was trying to claw it's way out as if I wasn't fully corrupted…. I had to fight the inner demon in my mind & soul which took time… time I took until I was able to overcome it & use Mr. Negative's bestowed power in order to fight him to the death. In a grueling battle, I finally slayed the Demon but became the new one in his place.

Victor: So you took everything he had after his death.

Liz: I thought it was over, that the war would end but then… The Mad Titan, Thanos decided to make his presence known, with the infinity stones equipped with his gauntlet. I heard about what the stones are & what they can do through  vital formation as Mr. Negative were planning on finding them himself one day. So thinking fast, I split Thanos in half.

(A/N: In the previous version as I explained, she did it like how Vision did to Thanos in Marvel: What If?)

Liz: I took the infinity gauntlet & stones but I was greatly overwhelmed by their boundless powers mixed with my negative energy. So by using the Reality, Time & Space stone, I put myself in a created area in order to train & master these powers so I wouldn't be driven insane. It was intense, rigorous & a lot of time it took until I finally mastered the negative energy & the infinity stones, becoming a nigh omnipotent being as I decided to have the universe live in peace… under my rule. So through every planet I've conquered, others worlds I've claim & slaying those who are a threat to that peace, the entire galaxy, the universe was fully under my palm as The Negative Titan.

Victor was silent, Liz conquered an entire universe just like that?

Liz: But don't get me wrong. With or without the stones, I have overcome every hero & villain who dared cross me in that world. After all that, it was over. I've won. The conquest was completed but I felt so empty… by gaining everything, I've lost what I had from my old life, I felt so empty… I thought about my brother & all of you, wondering if I'll ever see any of you again…

Victor saw the depressed look in Liz's eyes, feeling sympathy for the woman.

Liz: Then I heard someone telling the tale of how I lost everything in order to gain more & that's when I saw him… The Watcher.

Victor: The Watcher?

Liz: Yes, The Watcher also known as Uatu, is a fifth dimensional being who observes the Multiverse within the Nexus of all realities. He has seen countless events that has ever happened, ever will happen or what could happen in different realities of the prime dimension.

Victor: While I've learned about the Multiverse but never have I heard of someone who watches these events, including ours. That's kinda creepy.

Liz: I managed to see him & find my way to his realm. He thought I was after the entire Multiverse & would fight me if need be but I had no interest in conquering the entirety of the endless parallel universes for I am satisfied with the accomplishments I had. I asked him to help me find all of you scattered across the realms, but he refused, swearing to not interfere with the events of other universes. (Sighs) While I was greatly upset with him, the watcher's oath was bound and I wouldn't force him to help me so I decided to do the job myself, entering different dimensions from time to time until I found each one of you all before coming here to find you, Victor.

Victor: Wow… You all have such… bizarre and tragic stories, you six have made quite the reputation of being one of or the most dangerous in the universes you landed in.

James: Well, yeah.

Sid: Now it's your turn to tell your tale.

Liz: Yes. You know of us before & after the events of the siege perilous. As we know if you before, we don't know the aftermath of how you became the villainous Grim Gamma. Perhaps you can enlighten us with a tale?

Victor: Well, I guess I do owe you all an explanation of what happened during your disappearance. It starts like this…

Narrator: One origin story telling later…

After explaining everything of Monster origin, Victor saw the reaction of the six; Some were shocked, saddened, sympathetic, disgusted, appalled, & enraged while in Sid & Liz's case as they had coldly, calm looks, they were fuming on the inside.

Victor: And that's what happened.

Brooke: I can't believe they killed your aunt like that just because she was defending & caring for you. I'm so sorry for your loss.

James: That was messed up, man. Not trying to compare who had the worst life in our origin stories but your old man is a sick & twisted S.O.B.

Victor: True dat.

Breanne: You killed your tormentors, annihilated the Atrocious Avengers & those who wronged you or tried to stop you. And now, our world is gone.

Victor: Yep. If it makes you feel better, I managed to retrieve all your personal belongings before I paid my former parents a visit.

Jessica: Thanks. It wasn't a total loss.

Liz: (shaking in silent anger) … If I knew what your father was going to do, I would've-

Victor: Liz, it's fine. You didn't know then and you weren't there. And even if you were, there's nothing you could've done, my former old man would've had you arrested or worse since he had the law on his side, money & the connection to make sure you never see the light of day again. I didn't want you to be taken away from Sid or the others.

Liz felt a hand on her shaking left hand, the woman turned to her younger brother who was comfortingly rubbing her hand in an attempt to calm her down. The giant goth woman took some deep breaths in doing so.

Victor: But hey, my aunt was avenged, my crazy family is dead & I had to destroy our planet as it was a bitter memory that I had erased. I came here to start a new life as a human before I conquer this world as Grim Gamma to bring a new age.

The Six look at each other before turning to Victor.

Sid: If that's the case, then we're on board.

Victor raised an eyebrow.

Victor: Really? Just like that.

Jessica: Well yeah, we got nothing better to do, did all our stuff and we ain't nobody's heroes or charity cases. (Smirks) Might as well hop on the conquer wagon & have a little, chaotic fun.

Liz: I can alter and change this world as you see fit with one snap, just say the word.

Victor rubs the back of his head.

Victor: Thanks guys. And thank you Liz but no thanks. If you change this world, it'll be conquered but in your name, not mine. I need to conquer this world myself, I mean, no shame in using the infinity stones. Heh, many individuals have conquered countless planets and worlds with or without them, Soooooo…

Liz chuckles.

Liz: That's true & I understand. Myself & the others shall assist you in this goal & I'll only use the stones for necessary reasons.

Victor: Alright.

Jessica: The heroes & villains of this world, this city of Metropolis, all of them are going to be on our hit list?

Victor: In a way, yes. Some of them might be potential recruits.

Brooke: (Smirks) Forming a band of villains, eh?

Victor: Heh, you know it. While I sent a clear message to all heroes and villains who would try to stop me, and I love for them to try… the bigger the challenge, the better the fight, some villains might be easily swayed to join me, give it time. And since you six are here & fully skilled and powered up, my new mansion is your new mansion.

Victor spreads his arms wide.

Victor: Bring it in.

The six embraced Victor.

Breanne: Thank you for the hospitality.

James: Much appreciated, man.

They broke the embrace.

Jessica: Yeah. Grim Gamma & the Grave 6 is taking over!

Victor: Grave 6?

Sid: Just a faction name Jessica came up with for the six of us in being reapers to desolate those before us, sending them to their graves.

Victor looks at Jessica who gives a thumbs up with a big smile. He shook his head with a chuckle.

Victor: Not bad. I'm so glad you're all alive…

Liz: The feeling is mutual. We lost everything in order to gain more, but it is not all lost… Victor, as sudden as this is, we are here for you not just as a team but as a family, your new family that'll treasure & care for you unlike your former one.

Victor was taken off guard by that. He thought, his five friends & Sid's big sister is offering him a chance to be a part of their family? With him being their adopted & Liz's adopted son? He wasn't much of a family guy given his past with his old family with the exception of his aunt but that's just it, the past, this was the here & now.

Victor: I honestly was cut off when you said that, and I'd like that.

The goth woman smiled calmly and embraced her new son. The others had smiles & smirks in being reunited with their friend & now adopted brother. Soon, the embrace was broken as Thomas Strange entered the room.

Thomas: Master Victor. The woman is now stable, bones and ruptured organs healed and the bad liver was replaced via surgery. She's currently resting now.

Victor: Oh Hello there, Thomas. And that's great news. Expect a big bonus check in your mailbox.

The six look at the man, Brooke & Liz felt magic radiating from the man.

Jessica: Who is this?

Victor: This is Thomas Strange, Neutral Dimensional Assist for Hire. He's a Dr. Strange variant or at least a part of the variant where Stephen Strange has a sibling.

Brooke: Oh. That would explain the magic aura he's giving.

Thomas: A pleasure to meet you all. I take it you're all guests?

Liz: Exactly, we'll be living here. Mr. Strange, I am Liz Qrow, this is Breanne, Jessica, Brooke, James & my brother Sid. We're aware of who or what Victor is and we'll take part in his ambitions.

Thomas: Of course, Mistress Qrow. Anything else, Master Victor?

Victor: Hmmmm… Nope, that's about it. You can go & relax.

Thomas nodded and teleported away.

Sid: … He's quite a neutral case as you say? Can we trust him?

Victor: Yep. He helps out any side, good or bad. Once he completes his tasks for the employer, he moves on to the next one & so on. I'm his 70th employer.

James: Geez, that many huh?

Victor: Yep.

Liz: Interesting. Our family has grown quite big and it'll only get bigger.

Victor: Wait, whatta ya mean by that?

Liz: Let's just say… I'm doing my own business of recruiting lost souls from other worlds into the family…

Victor: Oh.

Liz: Mmm-hmm, you'll see.

Victor: Ok. We have a lot of work to do as well as getting into the spirit of Halloween this month. So who's up for a horrific monster movie marathon?

Jessica: Hell yeah!

Brooke: Double Hell yeah!

Breanne: I'll prepare the popcorn.

James: I'll get the sodas and see what you have in the movie section.

Sid: You had me at monster movies.

Liz: You also had me at horrific.

The six went to get the items needed as Victor watched with a smirk.

Victor: This is gonna be fun. (Looks at the readers) You're still here? The remastered chapter is over, go home! And I know, the six didn't debut their villain alter egos in this remake chapter, they'll debut in the next chapter! Til then, Green Eyed Nightmare Out!

The screen faded to black.

To be continued...

(The remastered chapter 5 is finished! Please vote, comment & let me know what you think of it! I decided to debut the six visits cometh early, as well as have Liz, Sid, Breanne, Jessica, Brooke & James appearing in their civilian identities while explaining their villain origins but as Negative Titan, Night Spirit, Flare-Skull, Cage Claw, The Decimator & Gravestone of the newly named Grave 6 will debut next chapter. Thomas was recreate into a Dr. Strange variant or part of the variation where he's related to Dr. Strange as a brother. Whatta ya think? Harleen & Selina had their interactions with Victor as well as the debut of a new OC who will be a maid of Victor, I know I mentioned that she'll bare a striking resemblance to Harleen Quinzel but I do have plans for her too. Her name will be revealed in time. Next chapter will be Grim Gamma & The Grave 6 vs The Superhero Girls, until then, see ya! This is NexusCrow-X formerly known as omegacrow-nexus fading to black.)
