Unity, Duty, Destiny Part 3
There is going to be a bit of lore in this chapter.
You'll probably like what's going to happen to certain somebodies (*COUGH* UNION *COUGH*)

ENJOY!
"CORE UNIVERSE."
That was what the Great Being/God said.
Causing many to stare in confusion at the statement.
'Core universe?'
That was a phrase they had never heard of before.
The Greek Gods were utterly lost. And the wizards and witches confused as well.
"What do mean by 'Core Universe' Zero?"
Dr. Strange asked, intrigued by the deity's choice of words.
As a man of the Mystic Arts, he was well aware of the multiverse and their ancient, mythical secrets. And even he had never heard of this secret before, not even as the Supreme Sorcerer.
And he could tell his fellow magicians/sorcerers were interested as well.
"Exactly what it means, Dr. Strange."
Zero simply spoke.
"You asked how the rules were changed and how it affected all universes. That's because all universes are linked to a universe that can be considered the center that links all universes in a multiverse together."
"The Bionicle Universe is such one universe. The Core Universe."
"Everything that happens in this universe has the ability to affect and cause changes to every universe that is linked to it."
"The (M/N) that we are currently just watching, the Grand Order that Chaldea has undertaken, the journey of Feathers and Fei Wang Reed dastardly plan to overthrow the Principles that sustain the Multiverse. All belong to this Universe – the Core Universe."
"So, the Core Universe dictates what can and cannot be allowed for the rest of the universes."
Dr. Fate drew his own conclusions.
"Correct."
Zero said as he continued.
"I told you earlier that Fei Wang Reed plan was to destroy the rules that govern the dimensions. Specifically, the rule that governs Reason. Reason gave the absolute law that the dead cannot come back to life. And it is Reason that allow us to perceive things that should be obvious."
"There were events that should have been obvious and discovered quite quickly but weren't until it was too late. That meant that his goal was succeeding: Reason itself was beginning to collapse."
This was starting to become intense.
It should be noted that the idiots of Union were busy being silenced to death via beatdowns and power blasts.
But that's not important right now.
"(M/N) and his friends were able to stop him just when everything seemed lost and were able to somewhat repair the worlds themselves. But it was already too late. His plan succeeded, albeit not to the extent he wanted."
But what he managed to accomplish was enough to cause the Rules to become unstable."
"Unstable enough to bring back the dead?"
Snape face was unreadable, but internally he wondered if it was possible. To bring the dead back to life, even for a short while.
'Maybe, I could apologize to Lily and J-J-James for how I treated them back then.'
Snape bitterly thought to himself.
While he will forever hate Potter for what he how he treated him back in school. He had time to grow up and realize his own actions weren't innocent as well.
He had committed many horrendous acts of evil all because of his interest in the Dark Arts.
It took Lily being targeted for him to see the idiocy of his actions and what it was truly costing him.
'I just wish this war with the Dark Lord would end as quickly as it begun.'
He just wanted to be free from the burdens he carried.
'Oh, Severus.'
Dumbledore stared sadly at his secret spy.
He hated what he had to ask of his Potions Master to do. To risk his life to get them the information they needed in order to thwart whatever plan Tom had. But he had no choice. Tom was too dangerous to leave alone, and even though it meant risking Severus health he had no choice but to let him continue spying.
...Even if Severus assured him that it was a small price to pay for his sins.
'...I wonder.' Albus thoughts turned to a more serious matter. 'Can Zero, or the Gods remove that from young Harry?'
If they could remove that, then Dumbledore didn't have to resort to a risky, dangerous method of destroying the part of Voldemort inside Harry.
"Limited, but yes."
Zero confirmed.
"It still wouldn't be enough to 100% bring someone back from the dead."
"For instance, the Evil Pieces."
He said, startling the Devils with his knowledge about that.
...Though to be honest, they shouldn't be surprised considering what he is.
"They can turn a normal person into a devil by inserting a chess piece into their body."
"That's a weird method."
Courier (Arknights) piped up.
(Ah yes, one of my favorite vanguards finally decides to speak)
"Why did they need to do that?"
"In their world, there was something called the Great War between supernatural factions." Zero explained. "A war...that started because of stupid reasons."
"Superiority issues?"
Silverash deducted.
"Bingo!" Zero said. "Again, stupid as hell reasons."
"Hey!"
"Short story, the War ended with the three factions severely depleted and low on numbers. Especially the devil population. In order to try to fill in their numbers, they created the Evil Pieces to add powerful assets to their ranks. The King being the devil, the leader of the peerage."
"It works, as stated earlier, by inserting a chess piece into a person's body. Of course, there are limitations."
"For instance, it won't work if the person being turn is more powerful than the 'King,' then it won't work unless there's some kind of loophole around. Can't revive a person long since dead, don't think they want a half skeleton person running around."
People shuddered at that lovely image.
That would seriously have people screaming and shouting about a zombie invasion.
"By powerful, you mean?"
Jr. (Kaiju Girls) asked.
"It wouldn't work on the Kaiju, they're too powerful for them." Zero stated. "Even you, as young as you are, are too powerful to be turned."
"However, here is the example of the rules being put into play."
He seriously said.
"If the rules had not been altered...there would be no reviving a dead person and turning them into a devil."
His dark, ominous voice shook them.
"You would only be able to turn a still alive person, or one that is on the brink of death. People that have died like Asia would not have been able to come back to life unless there was still some life left in them."
...
That was terrifying.
Especially those that realized that they could have permanently died if the rules hadn't been changed.
"Same with Shirou."
He said, startling the male at the sudden attention.
"Lancer attack struck dead and true, instantly killing him. Even if Rin had the largest mana pool ever to exist, it would mean nothing if the rules were still absolute. She would have wasted years of storing mana into her necklace for nothing."
...Rin and the others said nothing at the mind blowing revelation. Sakura (FSN) hand covering her mouth at the thought of her senpai dying a true death.
Archer world collapsing all around him as everything he knew came into question.
Shirou...was silent at how close he was to actually dying.
Shinji stayed silent as well, while he could admit that he did use Shirou to shove off his responsibilities. He did, in some way, respect the male despite him being weird with his honest to goodness personality.
"The Lazarus Pits."
This time startling the DC group at that.
"Wouldn't have worked if you had actually died. You would just be preserving a dead body for all the good that would do you."
Ra's and Talia were silent at that.
"The World Order."
The Kingdom Hearts group started.
Even that was affected as well!?
"After the worlds were scattered in the First Keyblade War, barriers were erected to ensure prosperity and stability after the damage that was caused by the Keyblade War. Many people thought the Heartless destroyed the barriers of the World Order. Actually, it was because of Fei Wang Reed actions and then the war (M/N) found himself in."
"The barriers were already destroyed long before the Heartless came."
...This changes everything that the Kingdome Hearts group knew.
"And once those events happened...well, you already know, don't you?"
They did.
"The World Order is no more."
Terra (Kingdom Hearts) said.
"Correct."
Zero nodded.
"...So, what cause the permanent change?"
Batman asked, intrigued at what this version of (M/N) did to have changed the rules.
"..."
Zero said nothing as a dark expression appeared on his face. The air was getting cold and intense as he remembered the cause.
A good majority shivered, as a menacing aura enveloped the theater.
"Because Mata Nui had a robot body." He began. "He was also vulnerable to getting infected with viruses."
...What?
"He might have a 'spirit'/soul but ultimately his body was still mechanical."
He continued.
"Sometime, after his creation he created a shapeshifting species to help protect the Matoran Universe that laid inside him."
"The species name: Makuta"
!?
Why did they feel a sense of dread from that word?
"Their organization name: The Brotherhood of Makuta."
"And there was one Makuta in particular that was close to Mata Nui. So close, that they could be considered brother."
"His true name is: Teridax."
"But, we simply refer to him as: The Makuta."
!!!
Just the way he mentioned the being names sent chills down everybody's spines.
Even to those like Batman, and to those that have faced hell and come out alive felt every fiber of their beings shaking.
"Despite it being the name of their species, it is also commonly used to refer to HIM."
Zero darkly said.
"Due to the Matorans worshipping Mata Nui, who they refer to as the Great Spirit, Makuta became jealous because of the lack of recognition for the Brotherhood whose been putting their lives on the line to protect them. He overthrew Miserix, the leader of the Brotherhood since he refused to go along with Teridax plan to overthrow the Great Spirit. And learned that it was possible to take control of the Universe."
"Long story short, he eventually succeeded when Mata Nui life was in danger. (M/N) along with a new group of Toa were on a quest to find the Mask of life, the only thing that could save him. When (M/N) and his friend Matoro finally got the Mask from the enemies that coveted it, they learned that Mata Nui had perished just when they had finally obtain the Mask."
"...The Mask of Life carries a hefty price in exchange for using its power."
Zero coldly said, scaring his audience.
"All who dons the mask must pay the price with their life."
"WHAT!?"
Many in the audience yelled at that.
"How horrible!" "Why!?" "What is the point of that!?"
"SILENCE!"
Zero roared, flaring out his aura. Silencing the crowd, as he continued.
"Realizing there was only one way to fix this, (M/N) knocked Matoro unconscious and put on the mask. Prior to this, the Ignika had tested them and found them to be worthy and interesting of wielding his (I believe it's stated on the wiki that it's technically genderless. But can decide its own gender if it wants to, and I think it was stated that he spoke in a male voice in respect to Matoro who was a male Toa) ancient powers."
"It's alive!?"
Idiot Union Ironwood shouted.
"Yes, it's alive." Zero deadpanned. "Wouldn't be the Mask of Life it didn't have some form of sentience."
"I mentioned this before, idiots."
...
"Anyways, back to my story." He resumed. "He puts the Mask on and uses it to bring the Great Spirit back to life. And keep in mind, that (M/N) is truly immortal. The type of immortal Zamasu was, except (M/N) is immune to Hakai."
That startled the Z Warriors at that revelation.
"Only certain beings/Guardians, and the Ignika is capable of killing him permanently. But here's a little tidbit, he wasn't killed like others who had to use the Ignika before him were. No, it was his Destiny to become the Toa Ignika: The Toa of Life. However, his body needed to get used to the Primordial power of the Element of Life. So, he was out of action for a while."
"The Toa Nuva eventually fulfill their destinies and awaken Mata Nui...however, this was the moment he was waiting for. The moment Mata Nui came back to life, he quickly took over and imprisoned the Great Spirit into the Ignika the moment they awakened him. Ejecting him from the Matoran Universe and into the Core Universe where he would eventually land on Bara Magna."
"Mata Nui was the one in control while (M/N) was still resting. Using an older, mature body in (M/N) likeness, he sought out a way to stop his fallen brother and save his people."
"After many trials, he succeeded in gaining a new body. Just in time, because Makuta sensed his presence and went to deal with him once and for all. In the ensuing battles, (M/N) finally woke up and with the help of the Toa Nuva, the Glatorans, and the Ignika. Were able to push back Makuta forces and (M/N) unleashed a Nova Blast. One filled with so much Life Elemental Energy that it shook the entire Multiverse with how much he released to defeat Makuta."
"In a way, it's like a Ripple effect: Where one's action can have unexpected results, one small ripple caused by throwing a stone ends up creating more ripples that weren't intended. Or like the Butterfly Effect: Where just one simple act can have major results/consequences as a whole, like a butterfly flapping its wings."
"Past, present, and future."
He said.
"They were all affected by the blast."
"It somehow pulsated throughout the entire Multiverse. Affecting past, present, and future. Even going so far as to reach the very beginning when not even time and space were a thing."
"The rules completely changed after the powerful blast of Life energy. They were altered drastically and the impossible became possible."
"Not to mention the effects it had on certain people."
Here, his gaze turned to Tony and Natasha.
"You two were supposed to have died."
He simply said, startling the Avengers and the Justice League.
"After all, the price for the Soul Stone cannot be reversed normally. And you, Tony, your body was not able to withstand the force of all wielding all six Infinity Stones on your first time. Not to mention that you are a human being. A human can barely handle the power of one stone, let alone the complete set"
"You two were supposed to have died that day."
"And the reason we're alive." Natasha said.
"Is because the (M/N) in the Core Universe unintentionally saved us when he unleashed his full powers in the war."
Tony finished.
"Yes."
Zero simply said.
"...I figured something was off."
Tony admitted.
"It nearly killed Banner who was in his Hulk form, why I was still alive even though I, a human, had used it?"
"After all, even Thanos was weary of using the Stones as well."
"...Seems like we owe the kid a lot more than we realized."
Stark shook his head at that.
'Figures, that kid is still saving us even as an unknown alternate version of him.'
"Thanks to the aftermath of defeating Teridax once and for all. It wound up with the rules being rewritten due to the Legendary Class Kanohi activating at the same time and causing a chain reaction throughout the Multiverse."
"And that's not covering the fact of the Energy Storms."
"Energy Storms?"
Godzilla questioned with her arms across her chest.
Ignoring the perverted gazes as she unintentionally pushed her chest more upward.
"Storms that can grant tremendous power to anyone who is able to find them."
Palpatine explained.
"It can even grant abilities that most would find...unnatural."
...Everyone was silent at that, though a few had certain ideas after hearing all this.
'If we could get our hands on this power, we can alter the rules anyway we want!'
Union Ironwood, certain villains, bullies all thought to themselves hearing this.
'...Idiots.'
Nahida shook her head, easily reading the buffoons expressions.
'It would seem they still have not learn their lessons.'
Though to be fair, the villains have actually been more civilized than the Union cast of 'heroes' so they faced less retribution than the heroes did.
'Plus, it's typical of villains to want more power to succeed in their goals.'
She thought to herself.
'Those idiots are going to get themselves killed.'
Scaramouche thought to himself.
But then again, Zero might have told them they were temporarily immortal while they were here. BUT he never mentioned that it was in the theater itself only. The moment they stepped out into the void of the universe, they would die like any other typical human who was stupid enough to take off their helmets in the vast emptiness of space.
'Not to mention, dad made sure that the tech rooms were locked and hidden deep in the theater so that they wouldn't be able to find them and exploit them for their own selfish gains.'
He mused, just because Zero was being tolerant of their actions, didn't mean he trusted the so called 'heroes' in the least.
"And now" Zero ended. "Let's start the show."
(Hopefully I was able to explain the lore behind my multiverse for this book)
-Flashback starts-
The Olympiamachia War
*Hack, Cough*
Was the sound of a male coughing out blood as he lies on a field of corpses of his comrades. His life slowly fading from his wounds.
"(M/N)!"
His friends shouted, shocked at the alternate version of their friend heavily injured state.
"My baby!"
Ava shook in shock, as Cain glared impassively at the screen.
Others flinched at the bloodied battlefield.
While those, like Ares, who were relishing the bloody carnage kept their mouths shut in fear of being beaten up.
Which was happening to the Union idiots who couldn't keep their fat mouths shut.
"Big brother!"
Came the shouts of a male and female as they rushed to the older male side.
"That can't be a pleasant experience."
Peter Parker aka Spiderman winced at the sight before him.
"Come on we got you!"
"We need to get out of here!"
"Are they strong enough though?"
Shuri sadly asked.
T'Challa placed a comforting hand on his sister's shoulder as a form of support.
"Cough, N-No, I'll only slow us down, you two need to leave me and get out of here.
Was the male's weak response.
"No, we can't leave you."
"It isn't fair!"
"Isn't that the truth."
Hades (both of them) grumbled.
"Adele!" "Macarios!" Said two stiffened at his voice "Listen to me! You two need to get out of here now!"
"B-but – No BUTS!" He interrupted them "As powerful and Omnipotent as Lord Zeus is not even, when it concerns humans, he knows who's against him."
"Oh?" Zeus looked in curiosity. "What does he mean by that?"
"The Zeus in that Lostbelt is basically Omnipotent."
Ritsuka said.
"He can read the thoughts of all that is in his domain, but there are so many people that even he can't tell the difference between one person and the next."
"Ahh"
"If we want to bring down the Gods and be free of this stagnant world someone needs to be there to even begin plotting their downfall. I have kept you two hidden in this war so they would not realize you have also been fighting."
"As a good brother should."
Artemis nodded in approval.
Ignoring the surprised looks on other people faces.
Again, people exaggerated certain parts of her legend.
(Note: I just realized that the twins probably weren't even thinking about that in the war. It probably occurred to them when they were stuck living in Olympus to rebel against the Gods in a more different way. So, in this story (M/N) had been thinking about aiding Chaldea when they came to chop down the Tree of Emptiness. Since Zeus told the inhabitants the truth about the Tree and what it meant. The twins carried on his plan to end their curse of stagnancy that threaten to infect the world)
"We know that (M/N) but..." Macarios trailed off unsure.
"We can't just leave you!" Adele cried.
(M/N) scowled as his siblings' stubbornness.
"Let me guess."
RODK Issei spoke up.
"It runs in the family."
"Indeed, it does." Ei said. "One big family of stubborn badasses, no matter what dimension."
"Hey!"
Cain and Ava protested at that.
"Well, it's true!"
Union Jaune shouted.
"Didn't we learn several viewings ago that you formed one of the most deadliest gangs in our world?"
He asked Union (M/N) dad who sweatdropped.
"Well...that's true."
He admitted.
"Kch!"
Union Dumbagou scoffed.
"Should have known the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
He snarled with hate at them.
"He's going to be nothing more than a villain just like his shitty parents!"
He declared, pointing at them as several other Union bullies/perverts agreed.
"YEAH!" "That's right!" "You'll be seeing prison soon!" "Hope you drop the soap!"
Their jeers fell on deaf ears as Cain and Ava weren't even phased.
"Like that's going to happen."
Zero scoffed.
"EXUCSE ME!?!?"
Union Bakugou screamed.
*BAM!!*
"SHUT. UP."
Orga growled. The Alien Kaiju getting a headache from their incessant chatter.
"When our parents died at the hands of the Dioscuri twins, I swore that I would keep you two safe!"
"As your older brother, your safety means more to me than this accursed war!"
"And that's why he will always be better than you, no matter what the dimension he lives in."
Hanzo crossed his arms, as he glared at the bullies. Unfazed by their pathetic attempts at intimidation.
So, please listen to your older brother for the last time and leave!"
Fairy Tail shifted uncomfortably, this felt so familiar.
"...Okay" Macarios bowed his head and grabbed his twin sister as they ran.
"No! Macarios stop!" Adele tried to break away from her twins grip, tears in her eyes. "We can save him!"
"Sto..." Her protests died down as she saw the tears falling from his face as he was forced to abandon their last remaining family.
Laxus flinched as he saw that.
He remembered that time. That time when he for a short instance listened to his Gramps would have been last words and obeying them for once in his life.
Only in this situation, there was no way they would survive fighting off Gods that made even Acnologia look like a walk in the part.
Silently, she turned her head to see her older brother one last time as they ran to safety.
"...Fly away, Fly far far away until you reached the destined shore." Was all he could say as he waited for judgement to arrive.
"Not bad." Apollo said. "Could use a little bit of work, though."
"He's dying, idiot dad."
Asclepius deadpanned.
"Now's not the time for stupid Haiku you deadbeat."
"...Ouch."
After what felt like an eternity, it came in the form of the Gods.
"Well, well look what we have here" Came the condescending voice of the Goddess of Love and Beauty Aphrodite, (I don't remember if it was after the war or during the war that Zeus captured and reprogrammed her to serve him, so in this timeline it's during the war) "another pathetic human who thought that the Gods should co-exist with humans."
(Aphrodite)
"Soooo, this is what my counterpart human form looks like."
Aphrodite looked in curiosity at her alternate self.
"Not bad."
She admitted.
"...But why is she smoking?"
She asked, noting the cigarette in her hand.
Gods they may be. But they shouldn't risk their health!
The once benevolent Goddess, now a cruel, heartless machine, mocked the dying human.
"The Goddess of Love is scary when she is without love."
Percy shivered.
She was scary enough with how interested she was in his and Annabeth love life. He didn't want to know just how scary she could be if Love wasn't involved!
"You humans should have known that the Gods are absolute, and that your place is under us."
"...Wow."
Several demigods and Gods said at that.
"...Suddenly, I'm glad that Aphrodite is obsessed with true romance and all that."
Artemis muttered, gaining nods of approval at that.
An Aphrodite that doesn't love?
Scary.
Said Goddess of Love pouted.
She continued.
"Save your speech for someone who cares and fuck off you overgrown pigeon."
"I was wondering why he was calling her that."
RODK Denki hummed, noticing the wings on the Lostbelt Aphrodite back.
"Talk about tension and not the sexy kind."
Prinz Eugen said.
Was (M/N) response to the Goddess taunting.
"That kid, bold even to the end."
Zeke shook his head in amusement.
"Did you forget that he is dating us in that one world?"
Lorem said.
"No, I didn't." The demon said. "Just still surprised."
"...Say what now?"
Tonks blinked.
This caused Aphrodite to turn red.
"Well, that ruffled her feathers well enough."
"Wasn't she red enough already?"
"How dare-" "ENOUGH!"
Came the booming voice of Zeus, cutting off Aphrodite sentence and silencing her.
(Zeus)
"WHAT!?"
Everyone's reaction was priceless.
"That's ZEUS!?" "Holy shit!" "He looks like he could bench a hundred Atlas!"
"That's my father!?"
"I'm so glad he's not our Zeus!"
"Huh." Hera said. "So, this is what you would look like if you didn't let yourself go."
"Hey!" Zeus protested. "I did not let myself go!"
"Keep telling yourself that."
"Young human" Zeus turned his attention to him.
"Why do you resist?"
Smack!
Some of the more perverted ones were hit on the head to prevent any innuendos from happening.
"Why would you resist this paradise where you won't have to need for more and be safe for all of eternity?"
"Because that is what it is Lord Zeus, a paradise where nothing is gained and nothing is lost."
"A paradise like this, where time is stagnant and not moving forward. It's the same as being dead."
Several people shuffled uneasily around the conversation.
"...It's too perfect."
Kal'tsit realized.
"That is correct."
Nahida said in response.
"A perfect world where there is no strife, no conflict, no wars."
"...But also, one where nothing happens. And every day is the same thing over and over again."
Scaramouche took over.
"Such a perfect world, but at what cost? Free will, the ability to think for oneself, the ability to push pass our limitations and become even more that what we can be."
"To not move forward, it's the same as being dead."
"If the choice was to live in a world of a utopia, or a world of conflict...I would choose the latter. At least there, I would not be a mindless puppet whose strings are pulled by some marionette."
Scaramouche finished, ignoring the irony in that statement. After all, he was a puppet even if his body has been changed to be able to do certain things that a human could do.
Like age for example.
His words seem to have an impact on those who pursued the fields of science, and those that pursue perfection.
"...To be perfect, is to never realize what you have loss in exchange."
Dr. Watts softly said.
It was a disturbing thought, being stuck in one place after achieving perfection that so many sought after.
'Is that the road that awaits me in the end?'
He frowned to himself at that thought, and he could tell his counterpart was thinking the same thing.
"A perfect world is more boring than being locked up in a rotten egg for six thousand years!"
Ivan Ooze growled.
Some were rather confused about what that meant.
Though secretly hoped they were not locked up in a rotten egg for six thousand years.
"And if moving forward means rebelling against the Gods then so be it"
Giving them a cold look, (M/N) finished
"He has guts, I'll give him that."
Zeus complimented.
Which surprised people.
Zeus giving a compliment without a hidden threat in it!?
"THE WORLD IS ENDING!!"
The demigods and Gods screamed in horror.
Zeus just gave them a flat look.
"Assholes..."
He muttered to himself as they continued panicking.
"We have said enough, you know I won't submit myself to your rule so let us end this."
"I always had a feeling that stubbornness was going to get him killed one day."
RODK Issei shook his head in amusement.
"Just didn't expect it to be from an alternate counterpart."
"Death."
RODK Koneko sighed.
"Reckless."
Ava sighed.
The similarities were way too much.
Cain shrugged.
"...Very well." Zeus calmly responded, knowing he would not comply with his reign charged up his lightning bolt. "Know though, that what I do is for the best for you humans."
"Does even a God have the right to decide what is best for mortals?"
Athena whispered to herself. Even she, the Goddess of Wisdom, did not know the answer.
"THAT is a question not even we Multiverse Gods can answer."
Zero answered.
'I'm sorry Adele, Macarios. I wished that I could be there for you two and that we could one day live to see a different tomorrow together.'
Several members hearts broke at the sad scene before them.
Hestia especially due to being the Goddess of the Hearth.
'If I had a wish that could be fulfilled, it would be for us to leave this Lostbelt behind and explore what lies beyond our world.'
'This must have been when their paths connected!'
Dr. Strange realized.
As the bullies.
"YES! YES!" "Kill him!" "Make him suffer!" "Die you sexy lady stealing bastards!
They were screaming and cheering at his soon to be death, getting hateful death glares directed at them.
...And conveniently forgetting that this was the past.
Were the male's final thoughts as he closed his eyes as Zeus struck him down with a fully charged lightning bolt, leaving not even ashes where he once lied.
"YYEEEESSSSSS!!!!!"
The dumbasses cheered.
And that ended the tale of (M/N)
...or so it would seem.
-Unknown location-
In another world, a mysterious woman was waiting in the rain in front of a shop. What she was waiting for would soon be revealed.
And it came, as the space around in front of her became distorted and out felled a badly injured (M/N).
"WHAT!?"
The bullies cheers died down.
"Why isn't he dead!?" Bakugou shrieked like a banshee at that.
His fellow bullies doing the same.
...Idiots.
The small shop assistants quickly rushed to his side.
"Damn! They're cute!"
Union Mineta shouted, a pervy look on his face.
"HEHEHE, can't wait to add them to my harem!"
Union Issei made a creepy, perverted face.
*BAM! CUT!*
"AAWOWOOOHHH!"
The bitches screamed as blood fell from their manhoods.
Sophia hand outstretched after casting some rather painful Symbology spells at them.
'Man! I can't believe any version of (M/N) has to deal with these Neanderthals on a daily basis!'
Was the thought running through the normally passive girl.
"His wounds are bad" "Bad"
The women simply walked to the unconscious male.
"...Yuuko."
Dr. Strange spoke in respect to the Space-Time Witch of Dimensions.
Gaining looks of curiosity at his knowledge of the woman.
"Your unknown wish called out to me."
"His wish?"
Kiana tilted her head.
"She means his wish of wanting to stay with his siblings and see a new day with them."
Mei reminded her.
"...Oh."
Kiana said.
"Idiotka."
"Can it midget!"
(Oh Kiana, just wait until you see her all grown up.)
She stated as she stood in front of him.
Smiling she said, "you just might be the key to ending this dream."
"No fair!"
Union Yang shouted in anger.
"Why does that loser get the honor to be involved in something as glorious as that!?"
"I agree with Yang!"
Union Weiss shouted.
"Such a responsibility should be delegated to the worthiest of candidates that can handle such a life changing task!"
"...Someone like you?"
RODK Weiss deadpanned at her idiot counterpart.
'Has she and the others not been watching? This version of (M/N) is turning out to be the most dangerous we have seen so far! His powers are on a whole other level in comparison to the (M/N) our dimension, to (M/N) Black. And I have the feeling that the (M/N) in their dimension is just as dangerous as the others!'
'Even his human self in that more peaceful world is terrifying. And he didn't have any power, just a zero tolerance for bullshit!'
"Well duh!" Union Blake said, in response to her question. "(M/N) is incompetent and only wins by using other, far more talented and powerful, people to fight his fights."
"And if it wasn't for relying on them, he would be nothing more than paste on the ground!"
Union Ruby shouted, fist bumping Union Weiss in agreement.
"...You guys are bigger idiots than I expected."
RODK Blake gave them a disapproving glare.
"I'll admit that I was blind...and misguided like they said I was. But even when I was throwing a tantrum trying to hurt (M/N), I knew that he wasn't weak. The fact that he was able to fight us off whenever we attacked him proved that."
"And we have seen how he is in the previous universes that we've watched. He's no weakling, even if we did beat him to an inch of his life in some other universe, I have no doubt that version of (M/N) will get back on his feet and deliver the full wrath of Karma on his bullies."
"Not to mention." RODK Yang scoffed. "That we have gotten a taste of his power already. Or did you forget the brutal assault that just took place on those fools?"
Pointing at the bullies/perverts as she said so.
"Making some rather vulgar comments about Tiamat of all beings, saying such disgusting things about what they wanted to do to her, the degrading and insulting words that were said?"
"Who do you think unleash their righteous fury upon them?"
Her words hit them like a sledgehammer, realizing that it was this version of (M/N) that had blasted them into space dust.
"She's right."
Ivan Ooze confirmed.
"I don't know how he knew, but he did and was able to send his punishment all the way over here."
"You should consider yourselves lucky that you are temporarily immortal while still here."
'Fool!' Union Ironwood and several Union bullies and perverts thought to themselves. 'Once we get the ultimate power, we will be fully immortal and the true rulers of not just the world, BUT ALL OF EXISTENCE!'
Yeah, you keep telling yourselves that.
"Honestly, grow up." RODK Yang continued. "If you keep going down this path, you will eventually end up either alone, in six feet under the dirt."
"Oh, like you can talk!"
Union Yang snarled angrily. How dare her counterpart talk to her like that!
She should be on her side!
"Exactly!" RODK Yang smiled. "It's because it's me, that I can talk about it."
"After all, I have done some growing up myself."
"Can the same be said about you?"
RODK Yang asked her fuming counterpart as she turned to the screen.
-Sometime later (I don't know why but every time I see or put a timeskip like this, I hear the French narrator from Spongebob saying this)-
Groaning, (M/N) wearily opened his eyes slowly. Before suddenly shooting up from the bed as he realized:
"He's going to regret that."
Nightingale (Berserker) deadpanned.
"I-I'm still...alive-GAH!?" (M/N) shouted, wincing as his wounds flared up from the sudden action causing him to lie down again.
"Called it."
She deadpanned once more, resisting the urge to try to administer treatment due to the fact that this had already happened.
Plus, this was a screen. How the hell was she going to 'treat' a giant tv screen?
"You should take care not to move your body too much, otherwise you might just end up dying despite my care."
"Well...that's a pleasant thought."
Hikage emotionlessly said.
A calm, ethereal like voice said, causing the male to turn his head to the source. His eyes lying upon a beautiful raven-haired red eyed women calmly smoking a pipe while looking at him.
"DAMN...!"
*ZAP! KABOOOM! BOOM!*
The perverts were zapped, blasted by Kaiju radiation, and combined attacks to shut them up before they cause yet another wave of destruction upon them.
"Dumbasses."
Jean Bart gave them a dark glare.
"Who...?"
"My name is Ichihara Yuuko,
(Ichihara Yuuko)
the Witch of Dimensions."
"That sounds powerful."
RODK Sirzechs commented.
'You have no idea.'
Zero and the others thought to themselves.
"You can call me Yuuko."
"...Why does that sound as though he will be there for a while?"
RODK Olga Marie frowned.
...Startling the FGO group.
They had completely forgotten she was here!
"Stop staring or get rekt."
She threatened.
"...Yuuko" (M/N) said, "Why am I here?"
"I should be –" "Dead? I know" She interrupted him.
"Well at least she's not beating around the bush."
Sirius said.
"There's no easy way to say it so just say it."
Daybit said.
"However, your wish was so strong that it brought you to me."
"...Just how powerful are wishes?"
Blaze (Arknights) questioned.
"Very powerful if the one wishing it has a strong will and desire."
Mikoto spoke.
"Just ask the devils and they can give you a little insight on that."
Said devils just whistled.
"...My wish?" He questioned.
"Poor boy." Cain shook his head at the alternate version of his son. "He is so lost."
"New, what else is?"
Yoda rhetorically asked.
Yuuko elaborated,
"Everyone who comes to my shop has a wish that they want granted. Yours was to live and take your siblings beyond what you called a Lostbelt."
"Is that how it works?"
Ava wondered.
"That is my role, to grant people their wishes."
"Oh" was all he could say, "But what's the catch?"
"At least someone is using their heads."
Moody grumbled, causing several people to blush in embarrassment.
It was too convenient that there happens to be a world where wishes could be easily granted. There had to be a catch.
"Oh?" Kotomine spoke. "I wonder if it's like a certain wish granter?"
?
The FSN group looked at him in confusion.
The hell was he going on about?
"Is he referring to the Holy Grail?"
Shirou whispered to Rin.
"Most likely."
Was all Rin said.
'But why did he make it sound ominous?'
Was the thought running through her head.
Yuuko chuckled, "Smart, the wishes that are granted, the price must be equivalent to the weight of that wish."
"And there's the catch."
Moody grumbled, of course it wouldn't be that easy!
"Exactly what kind of price would it be?"
"You for example, your wish was to live free from the Lostbelt rules and not fade when it fades eventually. You already paid the price for that part of your wish, that war that nearly took your life away."
"So, that's how he broke free of the Lostbelt?"
Ritsuka stared in shock at the screen.
Who would have thought that was possible?
(...)
(Should we tell him?)
(The Sixth Lostbelt turned into a complete clusterfuck, Deadpool. It became something else entirely by the time they get there)
"What!?" (M/N) said, as he suddenly realized that he felt different, "You mean I'm...?"
"Yes, you are no longer doomed to cease to exist even after your Lostbelt is pruned."
"Talk about a close call."
Ikaruga breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled, before turning serious "However, that was for you, to save your siblings you must pay a greater price than what you have paid for yours."
"So, that's why he was so determined to return."
Adray quietly said.
Quietly, (M/N) asked, "And that is?"
"I can give you the means to save them, but you must find a way to return back to your own dimension."
"Just like that?"
Harry blinked.
"No, Mr. Potter it is not that simple." Snape coolly spoke. "Everything has a price to it, there must be something else unsaid at the moment."
"This is the price you must pay, to be separated from them until you are able to gain the power you will need to free them."
"Luckily for him, time moves differently in between universes."
Zero shook his head.
"Otherwise, he would have been really cutting it close."
"You must find your own way back, as asking for another wish would result in them forgetting you forever."
Silence fell as the stunned male thought to himself.
'If I don't accept, they will die, but if I do accept I will have to find another alternate means of transportation.'
"Kid just got out of a life or death situation and he is already into another one."
Iron Man sighed.
'But...'
For the first time in a long time, he felt hope.
"Hope."
Overhaul said out loud.
'How long has it been since I dared to even think about that word?'
"Daddy, are you okay?"
Eri looked to her adoptive father worryingly.
!?
Union students stared in shock at Eri presence.
And that she was not afraid of being in Overhaul presence!
(Reason why is in my RODK Union book)
"I'm fine, Eri."
Overhaul smiled at his daughter.
"I accept." (M/N) said, causing Yuuko to smile.
"...Why do I, ironically, feel like he's making a deal with the devil?"
RODK/Union Sirzechs said out loud.
'Of course he would accept, for them he would journey to the ends of the Earth (or in this case, the multiverse). You know, he reminds me of him.'
"Him?"
Many turned to their questioning stares at Zero.
The God twitching, before answering: "Someone whose path crosses with theirs at a pivotal moment in their journey."
"Where truths are revealed."
Yuuko thought to herself remembering another boy who made choices like this to save someone he cared for.
"Very well, when you are better, we will get started"
"Started?" Izumi blinked. "On what?"
"Maybe to be her t-AHHH!!!"
Bakugou screamed as Ghidorah blasted him with her Gravity Beams.
"Will you SHUT UP!?"
"Huh? Started on what?" (M/N) asked confused.
"The beginning of the end of your sanity."
Dr. Strange chuckled, scaring his friends.
Smiling Yuuko said, "Why your training of course! This is part of the price you will be paying after all. Working for me and learning magic from me!"
"So many parts of the price of his wish."
Percy eyes began spinning.
"Remind me never to get any wish granted by her."
"Noted."
Annabeth said.
...Secretly feeling the same way.
"Oh...Wait what!? (M/N) screamed as it finally sunk in as he realized that he might have just screwed himself over. And magic? Actual magic and not magecraft?
"Yep! Oh, and one more thing." She said as she looked at him.
"Uh-oh!"
Many members of the audience said.
They barely knew her and could already tell that any news she gave them would not be fun.
"The wish was to live, so you are still immortal!"
...There it is.
'So, basically young (M/N) has obtained what Tom never will.'
Dumbledore thought to himself.
...While he was glad that immortality was in the hands of someone trustworthy. He could not help but feel pity on the poor boy, he just wanted to live. Not be stuck existing until probably even after the end of time itself.
...Though for some reason, he found it funny.
"WHAT!?" (M/N) screamed as Yuuko laughed at the poor boy's reaction.
"Poor guy."
Robin said.
He had a bad feeling that (M/N) was going to be traumatized by the end of this training he was going to go through!
"OH-BAM!"
Godzilla smashed her fist on Union douches, followed by her Kaiju taking turns each time they tried to talk.
"Yep! Same goes for your siblings when you return to them, and a couple of other people that will be important to you in your lifetime journey!"
"...Jesus!"
Some people swore in surprise at that.
You hear that?
"The sounds of despair?"
Sora offered.
https://youtu.be/WWaLxFIVX1s
That was the sound of despair followed by loud, raucous laughter filling the Wish-Granting Shop.
"...Yep." Riku confirmed. "That's despair all right."
The HP and PJO casts shivered in terror.
They would NOT want to be working for her!
She was terrifying!
Several years later
Life in the shop located in Tokyo, Japan surprisingly wasn't bad. Sure, Yuuko made his life a living, yet hilarious, hell with her antics, but he enjoyed the Witch's company.
"That's a surprise."
Artemis said.
"Thought he would have thrown himself off a building at least once. That's how it is with me having to deal with Apollo at times."
"Why you so mean to me, little sis?"
Apollo pouted at his sister cruel, harsh words.
"Stop rubbing that fact in already!"
Under her guidance he learned the many elements of magic, how to combine them, bending time and space to his powers, and many more (also learning from other sorcerers and magicians).
"Was quite fun, I'll admit."
Dr. Strange confessed.
Startling the theater with his confession.
"Strange, you knew?"
Iron Man stared at the sorcerer in shock.
"Indeed." Strange admitted. "As the Supreme Sorcerer, I am entitled to...certain knowledge that most others aren't privileged to. Not even Dr. Fate had that kind of knowledge."
"That is true." Fate admitted. "Until now, I had no idea of just how complex our world is. Nor that there was something like the Core Universe being a thing."
"There is also something even more surprising than that."
Zero admitted.
"Megaverses." He said. "They housed the Multiverses that spawn within their space. Don't ask me how the multiverse can be contained, yet still spawning new universes because that's not my field of expertise. Just know that each Megaverse houses a Universe Prime, and a Core Universe like ours does, and that we can visit other Megaverse just like with how we can explore the multiverse."
(This is something that has been in my head ever since I started reading stories on Fanfiction.Net concerning crossovers and multiverse and Clamp. It was a thought that came to mind, but never really put much thought into it due to being a teen and all back then. And interestingly enough I've seen some stories here that include Megaverse and Omni-verse into their stories, so I decided to do that as well)
"Seriously!?"
Screams could be heard at that.
Was there anything else they needed to know!?
"Anyways" Strange continued. "The kid potential was incredible, and he was very creative with the portals."
"One of the reasons I'd taught the (M/N) back in our world the Mystic Arts. Because I was interested to see how far he could go."
...Goddamn these protagonists and their awesomeness.
At that point in time, he began seeing Yuuko as an older (im)mature sister, what with her drinking habits and real-life training experience with his new found magical abilities as well as expanding his magecraft abilities as well.
"WHY does that sound familiar?"
Theresa (HI3) stared at Himeko drinking sake that she got from the bar.
Himeko stuck her tongue at her.
"Ah man, it's really pouring out there today."
"Oh?"
Maria Traydor said.
"That's a new voice."
Turning his attention to the new shop employee, he simply nodded saying.
"Indeed, it is Watanuki, I feel like something big is going to happen today." (M/N) replied to the younger male.
"Who is he?"
Godzilla Jr. asked in curiosity.
"Another poor soul that got trapped by Yuuko."
Zero shook his head in amusement.
"And someone who will also play an important in his journey."
"Man! Is everyone he knows involved somehow?"
Rodan shook her head in amusement.
(Watanuki Kimihiro)
Watanuki Kimihiro, the newest member of the shop. Plagued by evil spirits for who knows how long, he had stumbled onto Yuuko shop where he learned that in order to have his wish of being free from the spirits haunting him, he would have to work for her just like (M/N).
"Yeah, that's not fun."
Some wince, seeing the dead was not all it was crack up to be.
He agreed, though he was seriously regretting it now when having to deal with Yuuko hangovers, and lifetime experiences (No wonder (M/N) gave him a pitying look, he didn't know what he was in for!).
"Poor, unfortunate soul."
Kagura (SK) sighed in pity.
"Yeah, I'm getting the same feeling too. By the way, where is Yuuko anyways?"
"Hm?, Well from where I'm standing, she's waiting in the ... rain?"
"Seriously?"
Hawks deadpanned.
"She's going to get sick."
Doing a double take, they both realize she was indeed standing in the rain.
And she was in uniform.
"What is she? She's going to get sick!" Watanuki spazzed out as he grabbed an umbrella and they both went out to reach her.
"See?"
"Yuuko! You're going to... get ... wet?" Watanuki trailed off as he realized that the rain was not hitting her, almost like she wasn't even there.
"Wha-Magic."
Several magic users deadpanned.
"I'm waiting" she said.
"Waiting? Waiting for who?" (M/N) asked confused. This felt different then her usual customers, and it felt like it was going to involve him as well.
"For your journey to begin."
Darth Vader breathed.
"Here they come" she said as she stared into the sky, a ripple forming as a young boy holding an unconscious girl suddenly appeared in front of them.
(Syaoran and Sakura)
"Huh!?"
"What happened to the girl!?"
"Not sexy enough!!"
*FWOOSH!!!*
"AHHH!!"
"She's only fourteen, you dumbass!"
(I think, I can't remember since it's been so long)
"Are you the Space-Time Witch!?" The young boy frantically asked.
"I have been called that." She stated.
"Wonder what else she's been called."
RODK Ashido hummed.
"Then please, please save Princess Sakura!" He shouted/begged her.
"Can we at least know what happened?"
Artemis grumbled, feeling very concerned about the unconscious girl's poor state.
'What is wrong with her?' (M/N) thought to himself, she looked like she was on death door.
"Understatement of the century."
Zero whispered, though it was heard causing more concerns to fester.
Yuuko approached the two, bending to place a hand on the young girl.
"This girl has lost her feathers (feathers?) and if they are not return to her, she will die (What!?)."
"Feathers?"
Ozpin and Salem spoke in unison, before looking at each other.
After all, the last viewing ended with that word: Feathers.
"What does she mean she will die without them!?"
Amiya shouted in concern at that.
"Hold on! What do you mean she will die if her feathers are not returned to her!?" (M/N) questioned, "And why would she die if they are not returned?"
That part confused him.
"Join the club."
Da Vinci grumbled, annoyed that even she could not figure out what she was talking about.
"These feathers are a manifestation of her magical power and her life force. Without them she will not be able to survive or wake up."
"...WHAT!?"
This time, all the magic users had shouted in pure shock.
"The feathers are connected to her life force!?" "What form of magic is this!?" "What did Fei Wang Reed hoped to achieve with this method!?"
"Can she be saved!?"
"Yes."
Zero coolly said, calming them down.
"This already happened, though I can't blame you for being so shocked about that revelation."
...Fuck, this was a bad situation they were in. A creeping unsettling feeling welled up inside him. What was going to be the price to save her?
"From what we know." Sakura Uchiha spoke. "Every wish requires a heavy price. But what can of price will have to be paid for the girl to survive?"
She spoke uneasily, concerned for the girl that shared her name safety.
"So can you-!?" The young boy started to ask, before Yuuko looked to the sky once more.
"Here comes the others."
!?
There's more!?
There was more?
"That's what I just said!"
'(M/N), from here on out you must conceal your magical powers until a certain event comes to pass'
"What?"
Hibari tilted her head in confusion.
"But why?"
"Good question."
Asuka frowned at that.
Why would he need to hide his power?
Yuuko telepathically communicated to him, startling him with that command but obeying and suppressing his magic powers.
Just as two new ripples appeared
One revealed a cheery blonde mage (who for some reason unnerved him) and the other, a sitting black-haired crimson-eyed swordsman.
(Fai D. Flourite)
"Something about that man is concerning."
Dr. Fate observed.
The blond mage held some kind of ominous curse, no curses around him. Hanging like death looming over him.
"Indeed."
Dr. Strange frowned at the man, before turning his gaze to the swordsman.
(Kurogane)
(Second pic shows his current outfit)
'His is styled to look like a curse, but is a protection seal?'
He analyzed.
"Are you the Witch of Dimensions?" "Who are you?" came the unison response of the two before they looked at each other with confusion.
"Oh great!" Homura sarcastically said. "Just what we needed, conflicting personalities."
"Indeed, I am" Yuuko confirmed. "Everyone who comes to my shop has a wish they want granted. So, what is yours?" She asked the two.
"To return to my world" "To not return to my world" Was yet another unified response causing them to look at each other again (this time irritation showing on the swordsman face at that).
"Curious."
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at their responses.
One wants to return home, while the other flees from his home.
'But why?'
Was what he couldn't understand, idly he wondered if the curses around the Blond had anything to do with it.
(M/N) resisted the urge to laugh, he did not want to get skewered by the man blade.
"Even though he will live?"
Ares asked amused.
"Doesn't mean he won't feel the pain, brother."
Hermes shook his head.
"Touché."
"Very well, Watanuki-Kun" Yuuko suddenly addressed the young boy causing him to turn his attention to her. "In my shop is an item that will aid them to their journey, Maru and Moro will guide you there."
"O-okay" Watanuki said as the twins grabbed him and took him inside.
"Poor guy is completely clueless at what's going on."
Fayt chuckled at that.
"Where are we anyways?" The black-haired male questioned (They really needed to get to the introductions out of the way)
"We are in Japan, Tokyo to be more precise." Yuuko explained, causing the swordsman to look at her in disbelief.
"Why though?"
Naruto asked.
"This doesn't look like the Japan I know" He stated confused.
"Oh, he's from another Japan."
"Correct." Ei spoke. "It is a more feudal era type of Japan he heralds from. In a way it's like how your Elemental Nations were before industrializing."
"Ah."
"So, like ours before past, present, and future somehow merged the two timelines."
Kaede realized.
"Correct."
Ei nodded.
"Their world is messed up."
Kiana had spirals in her eyes.
"Like ours, isn't?"
Kevin Kaslana scoffed as he looked at his many times great granddaughter.
This time (M/N) stepped in, "That's because this is not your world, you are literally from another world where time is different."
"There might be similarities, but there are also differences that deviate from what you know and from what I would know."
"That's for sure."
The hosts and extended family said in unison.
Remembering how one small change can a big effect on the universe as a whole.
'Each (M/N) might share the same soul, and maybe even share the same looks at times.' Zero thought to himself. 'But ultimately, it is their life experiences in those worlds that shape them into the person they will one day be.'
'...Be it good or bad.'
"Hhmm, so then who are you kid?" He asked, staring at him.
Snort!
Some of the immortals/extremely long lifespan beings, laughed at the man calling (M/N) a kid. When it's actually be the other way.
(M/N) snorted at the kid comment, but didn't blame him for that assumption. After all, despite looking like a male in his late teens, he was several millennia old.
"How old was he at the time?"
RODK Dabi asked in curiosity.
"If I remember correctly, he was in his 9,000s at the time."
"Oh..."
"..."
"...WHAT!?"
He's HOW OLD!?
Not like he was going to tell them that yet, they had to earn his trust first.
"Good!" Moody nodded in approval. "First make sure they are truly worthy of telling your secrets too. After ensuring they won't backstab you!"
Tonks nearly had a heart attack at the somewhat praise/compliment.
Moody barely gave them to any of his fellow aurors, even her, and yet he's been giving them freely here!
'This kid is good!'
She thought to herself.
"(M/N), and you guys? He asked the trio (He already knew the girl name thanks to her companion).
"Hmhmhm! Fai D. Flourite!" "Hmph, Kurogane" "I-I'm Syaoran" came the responses from the three males.
"We finally know their names!""
Someone shouted.
Zero silently laughed.
'Not really.' He thought to himself. 'After all words, especially names, are power. If you know someone true name, you can gain a certain amount of control over them through their names.'
Which is why it was absolutely crucial to keep your guard up at all times.
Something, he could tell that the magic users and Hecate realized as well.
"And the girl?" Kurogane asked, he did not know why but the girl's motionless body unnerved him.
"Just one glance and he could tell?"
Natsumi asked.
"Kurogane is an extremely powerful warrior and swordsman."
Zero explained.
"(M/N) began his training with the sword under him first, before learning his own style."
"Kurogane instincts are super sharp, and he is not so easily fooled."
"Huh? Oh! This is Princess Sakura of Clow country." Syaoran stated as he looked worryingly at the Princess.
"A PRINCESS!?"
Many people shouted.
"Should he be holding her like that!?" "An actual princess?!" "Wow!"
Several people shouted.
"LAME!"
Union Bakugou shouted, grabbing everyone's attention.
"Talk about weak! Dying just from losing a bunch of stupid feathers. She doesn't deserve to be a ruler and should just die for being a weakling!"
"Yeah!" Union Issei agreed. "Plus, she's not sexy at all! Just plain out boring!"
"She looks like she will tap out at the first punch!"
Union Yang bashed her fists together.
"She can't even save herself!"
"How dare she call herself a princess!"
Union Weiss growled in jealously of an actual princess like Sakura.
"How can someone like her be royalty when she needs to rely on a commoner!?"
The other bullies and perverts shouted words of agreement at their statements.
*FLARE!*
Suddenly, a dark terrible menacing aura silenced them.
Turning around, they noticed Zero aura flaring out with pure malice.
"I've tolerated your foolishness long enough!!"
Zero snarled.
"NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO LEARN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE A GOD MAD!!!"
Roaring, he disappeared.
Only to appear in front of Union Yang.
*Squeeze!*
Grabbing her arm, he pulled it out quickly and painfully.
*RRIIIPPPP!!*
"AHHHH!!!!"
Union Yang screamed in pain, as blood spilled from her torn limb.
"Yang!"
Team Stupid yelled in shock, before turning to him in anger.
"How dare you!?"
Union Ruby screamed as she activated her semblance and disappeared.
*WHACK!*
Only for Zero to violently smack her in the face with Yang arm.
"Back off bitch!" Zero snarled. "I'm armed (raises Yang arm) and dangerous!"
"Hey, that's my line!"
Harley Quinn shouted.
"Weiss! Blake!" Union Ruby yelled. "Checkmate!"
Nodding, the two went in for a coordinated attack.
Only for Zero to switch his main sword, for his katana, as he prepared to use his (and Ignika (M/N)) favorite sword style.
"Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu" Zero positioned himself as they got closer.
"Take this!"
They yelled as they got closer.
"...Ryukansen."
With that said, he unleashed a devastating spinning attack. Striking the two and killing them instantly.
"NOOO!!!" Union Ruby and Yang screamed in horror.
"Weiss!" "Blake!"
*Splurt!*
"Ahh!"
Ruby stared down in shock, as the katana pierced her heart.
Sliding it out, the huntsman in training collapsed to the ground.
"Hmph!"
Zero scoffed.
"Even after temporarily returning your powers, you are still weak!"
"WEAK!?"
Bakugou shouted in fury, eyes popping open with angry veins all over.
(Seriously, how are you not dead from high blood pressure?)
"I'll show you who's weak now that you made the mistake of giving us our powers back!"
"Yeah!" "Let's get him!"
"My harem!"
Union Issei screamed.
"Lend me your boobies for power!"
(I felt sick writing something as demeaning as that)
"Yes Issei!"
His (dumbass) harem obeyed as they let him fondle their breasts for Oppai power!
(...I seriously still think that was the stupidest thing ever and why I lost interest in the series in the first place. There are just some things you shouldn't do/or say, that's one of them. Especially if at the time, they are not dating)
The bullies and perverts, except Union Issei, lunged at him with the intent to kill by quantity.
"Quantity over quality?"
Zero sighed, blade hovering over his shoulder.
"No wonder your world is so messed up."
As Bakugou got close, he unleashed his Ultimate move.
"HOWITZER IMPACT!"
Roaring, he unleashed his attack at full power.
"...Pathetic..."
Was all Zero said as the blast made contact.
*KABBOOOOM!!!*
Releasing a massive smokescreen as a result.
"HA!" Bakugou gloated. "You see what happens to extras that don't know their place!?"
"They end up dead! Adding to my glory!"
"HHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!"
While he was laughing.
"Idiot."
Kurenai shook her head in contempt.
This generation was screwed up the Genjutsu Mistress thought to herself.
*PEW!*
"...HAH!?"
Bakugou screamed as he clenched his body, a large hole could be seen leaking blood.
"Bakugou!" "Bakubro!" "Bomb daddy!"
His friends shouted in shock.
While some of the others...
'...Bomb daddy?'
Was there something they should know about?
Was the thought running through Union Aizawa and the staff heads.
"Was that really the best you could do?"
The smoke cleared up to reveal that Zero didn't even so much as suffer a scratch.
"WHAT!?"
Bakugou screamed in disbelief.
"Impossible! That was my strongest attack at full power!"
"Your 'strongest'" Zero mocked. "Barely tickled."
(Imagine when Raditz came to Earth and Piccolo tried to kill him for disrespecting him)
"Now" Zero coldly said. "I grow tired of looking at your ugly faces and dull personalities."
Ivan Ooze just chuckled.
"What did you fucking say you extra!?"
Bakugou shouted.
"Die."
Zero coldly said, as he jumped into the air at insane speed.
And propelled himself straight at the stunned male.
Before striking his sword down.
"Ryutsuisen (Dragon Mallet Flash)!"
"Wha...?"
Was all Bakugou could say as he was literally split into two.
"NOOO!!!" "BAKUBRO!!!" "You monster!"
"KILL HIM!"
Union Kirishima led the charge, tears in his eyes at the death of his friend.
"...Idiots."
Ei deadpanned.
"That's for sure."
Palpatine munched on some popcorn.
The Jedi could not believe how arrogant these students of Union were.
A majority of the Jedi having spent some time being dead and reflecting on their actions and where it all went wrong thought they were an arrogant bunch after they realized just how and why they fell.
But by the Force!
These 'heroes in training' made them look like saints! And they have done things that did not exactly translate to the Jedi being the peace keepers they were supposed to be!
The Senators and civilians that were there just thought.
'The Jedi were more heroic than them!'
'And I thought the Pangalactic Federation was bad.'
Cliff Fitter shook his head.
Not even fazed at the carnage that was happening.
Hell! Not even his friends were fazed or scared.
'They make the Federation look good!'
While these internal convos were going on, Zero positioned himself.
"Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu!"
He shouted, as they got close, he struck.
"Ryukansen (Dragon Spiral Strike)!"
They did not last even a second as they were sliced to pieces by Zero terrifying swordsmanship.
The sword wielding individuals were in awe at the expertise and skill that has been honed for eons.
Everyone, from heroes to villains stared at the one-sided slaughter as Zero took them down with just a sword.
*SPLASH!!*
As a puddle of blood landed all around him.
"How pitiful!"
Zero scoffed at the remains of the temporarily dead fools, knowing they could hear him because that's just how he created the spell.
"I even went to the trouble of restricting all of my powers just to give you some kind of handicap. And you still fail at even landing a scratch on me!"
"Weaklings."
"Hey!" Texas (Arknights) shouted. "That's my line!"
"What's yours is mine!"
"..." Texas blushed at that because it could be taken two ways.
Exusai resisted the urge to tease her friend, valuing her life.
Union headmasters and Ironwood stared in horror at how easily the restricted God annihilated their 'best and brightest stars'.
'Mo-Monster!'
They thought in terror, they had never seen such power in anyone before!
*Whiirrr!*
"You may have beaten them! But now you gotta deal with the Red Dragon Emperor Harem King Baby!"
Union Issei shouted as he was in his most strongest form ever, having 'powered up' thanks to his harem.
"And with you at your weakest, defeating you will be a cinch!" He bragged. "And when I kill you, your wives will be mine! And will have the honor of carrying a real man dragon baby!"
Bleh!
How 'heroic'
"Yeah!" His harem shouted.
"Go Issei!" Union Asia screamed.
"Show them why they should be honored to have a dragon as their true husband!"
Union Xenovia encouraged.
RODK Xenovia gagged (and nearly threw up for real) at that.
'What is wrong with this version of me!?'
She knew her counterpart was a nutjob with this weird idea that Issei can give her dragon babies and Sacred Gears could be passed down. But man!
'How fucked up is that universe!'
She won't deny she thought like that too, but Rias and the others quickly shot down that idea by having Azazel explain how Sacred Gears work.
She got out of it pretty quickly.
Though she did have an attraction to strong males. But it was toned down and she wasn't going to be jumping their bones for a baby.
Gotta wait to be sure if she's ready for one.
(She's heard that pregnancy and childbirth is a pain)
'And they think he is a real man?' Xenovia thought derisively. 'Hah! I bet a shota has a bigger one and is even more of a real man then he is!'
(...Ouch. That's a burn if I ever seen one)
"Go, my love."
Union's overrated cat Koneko cheered with a small smile on her face.
'...My counterpart has no love for herself.'
RODK Koneko deadpanned, ashamed of her counterpart.
RODK/Union Kuroka were just in utter shock and disgust at how Shirone had changed!
And not in a good way!
'I should have taken her with me, regardless of the hardships we would have faced together.'
Union Kuroka thought sadly to herself.
Was this karma for killing her master? Or karma for not acting sooner and killing her master when he experimented on innocent people?
"Ara, Ara make him cry and suffer slowly."
Union Akeno moaned at the thought the God receiving his just punishment.
'No doubt this will open Rias eyes and return to us.'
The girl delusionally thought to herself.
RODK Akeno just stared in utter disgust.
Even for her this was disgusting and unacceptable!
"You got it, hotties!"
Union Issei perverted expression, while not seen, could be sensed.
"For the boobs and hot milfs that I'm going to break!"
Many twitched at that. But held themselves back because Zero would deliver divine judgement on him.
He yelled his 'battle cry' as he charged.
...Unknowing that he had finally severed whatever hold he had on his patience.
*BAM!*
Issei slammed his fist right at Zero, causing a shockwave to erupt.
"Hah! Take th...at?"
When he removed his fist, he did not see the Great Being there.
"WHERE!?"
*SLASH!*
"AHH!"
Union Issei screamed in pain as he felt his skin being sliced open.
"Issei!"
His whorem screamed as he stumbled.
"Where are!?"
*SLASH! SWING! SLASH!*
"AAHHHH!!!!"
Union Issei screamed in pain as blood exploded everywhere from the strikes landing on him.
"How!?" He screamed. "How can you penetrate this armor with just a sword!?"
"Your crimes are long and unforgivable."
Zero coldly spoke.
"One: Shamelessly molesting and harassing any girl that has a nice body and a big chest."
Swing!
"AHH"
"Two: Bullying the weak just because you hold a power exceptional even among Sacred Gear users."
Swing!
"Three: Trying to force other women, even married women into your so called harem of whores."
Swing!
He kept striking him every time he listed a crime.
"Four: Insulting Tiamat the Mother of Life and daring to think you could have your way with her."
Slash!
"Five: Bullying (M/N) just because he was more popular than you despite not having a power."
SLASH!
"AAHHHHH!!!!!"
Union Issei screamed as no matter how much blood he lost; he couldn't die unless Zero wished it to.
The villains were both enjoying themselves and shaking from the bloodbath in front of them.
Even the Togas were afraid, and they lived for this!
"...Shit." Ares shivered, his children doing the same as well as the rest of the PJO universe. "This kid is scary as hell, and I don't want to get on his bad side."
And if the bloodthirsty God of War himself says that.
...You know how serious and bad it is.
"Same." "Agreed" "No doubt about it."
The demigods, Hunters, and his fellow Gods all agreed.
Zero anger was a terrifying force indeed.
-???-
"What the?"
A certain individual with an interesting belt blinked as he looked up.
The ceiling shaking as an oppressive, bloodthirsty aura filled the room.
"This aura is...Zero!?"
The man shook in fear.
"Someone...has managed to make him mad?! No..."
"Not just mad."
"Furious." He shuddered. "Enraged. Murderous. Wrathful."
This wasn't good.
Zero was a being of great patience (though he may not look it) and it took a lot to make him mad.
'And considering his father.'
The mysterious being shivered.
'He's a maelstrom of anger, hate, fury.'
Then he remembered something.
"Oh, yeah!"
He realized.
"He decided to do a 'bring your worlds to view the Multiverse' thing."
"And that would mean..."
Aw, Sugar Honey Iced Tea.
"The IDIOTS of Union!"
He realized.
BAM!!
The room shook as the being managed to keep his balance.
"...Not good."
Zero was really, really, REALLY MAD.
The being opted to just stay there for now.
NO WAY IN HELL WAS HE RISKING DRAWING ZERO WRATH TOWARDS HIM!!
When he gets this enraged, he almost doesn't recognize friend from foe!
He's seen him angry before and he doesn't want to be near the area!
'Besides, I gotta make sure all the equipment isn't broken or spilled.'
Turning back, he saw, to his horror, that some of the vials did fall and mixed together with...a piece of toast?
"GGGRRRRR..."
The animated bread growled at him.
"....*BARK!* *BARK!*"
The monster bread attacked!
"AIYAH!!"
The being screamed as he activated his belt for an epic fight between man and food!
-Back to our regularly scheduled broadcast-
"Six:" Zero continued after he brutally kicked him. "Making lewd, and crude comments about my wives and disgusting thoughts about my daughters."
...Crackle.
Scaramouche looked ready to kill.
How dare he have impure thoughts about his sisters!
Especially when one still had the body of a child despite being eons old now!
"And this is going to be the last one cause as mentioned before: Your crimes and sins are far too great and too long."
"Seven: Your very existence is a curse on your counterparts! Because of you and counterparts like you, you bring the other versions of you to shame! The Gods have a rather strong hatred of you Issei Hyoudou and it's all because of your disgusting actions!"
He roared, anger on his face.
"The Gods want almost every version of you dead because of your shameless antics towards woman, and the fact that you are practically forcing girls to be with you through intimidation besides your 'harem.' And to make it worse, you are not satisfied with what you have and that is why Rias has left you!"
"Shut up!"
Union Issei roared.
"It's all your fault! She would still be with me, loving me if you hadn't interfered and brought us here!"
"On the contrary." Zero denied. "It was going to happen either way."
"WHAT!?"
Various shouts came at that.
"We'll get to it eventually, but in the original timeline Rias does get a revelation and leaves you anyways."
"Your lying!" Union Issei shouted. "DIE!"
Roaring, he flew at him with tears on his face.
Preparing to try to kill him.
But the thing about Gods.
"Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu Ogi (Ultimate Technique)!"
...Is that when they are done playing around, death is all but absolute.
"KOKONOTSU GASHIRA NO RYU NO HIRAMEKI (NINE-HEADED FLYING DRAGON FLASH)!
He struck from the top of Union Issei head, then delivered a lateral slice to the left side then to the right. Next, he angled his attack down on his left shoulder, delivering the same to the right shoulder.
Next he swung his sword upwards to the right side, short followed by the left side.
Then faster then thought possible, he unleashed a powerful piercing strike from the ground.
Unleashing a final instantaneous ninth cut as the delivering blow!
(Sorry for the bad description, I was having a hard time trying to find the panels that had that scene.)
This was all done faster than the eye could see, and faster then even what the Gods and speedsters could catch.
Over in an instant.
Zero annihilated the Red Oppai Emperor.
SPLURT! SPLASH!
Enormous waterfalls of blood burst freely from the massive wounds inflicted by Zero.
"...Ho...HOW!?" Union Issei cried in pain. "I...am...th...e...Red...Dra...gon...empe...ror."
"How...can...I...be...lo...sing?"
He fell to the ground, barely standing up thanks to his armor.
"ISSEI!
His harem screamed as they tried to help him.
BAM!
"AAHHHH!!"
Only for Union Rias to throw a super powerful blast of Ruin of Destruction at them.
...Vaporizing them from existence.
(Until Zero brings them back to punish them some more)
'I wish it didn't have to come to this.'
Union Rias thought sadly to herself at what she had done. Sure, they'll come back thanks to Zero generosity, but the trauma was still going to be there.
Hopefully, death will help snap them to their senses.
"NNNOOOOO!"
Union Issei shouted.
"MY HAREM!"
"Damn you Buchou! And damn you accursed God! Just you wait! When I get up from here I'm!"
Crackle!
Electro energy could be seen dancing around Ei as her sword was out and she was slowly walking towards him.
"Oh?" Union Issei stared lewdly at her. "Have you finally come to your senses?"
Ei said nothing as she prepared.
Prepared the Musou no Hitotachi.
"Then come to papa!" Union Issei perverted face grew as he rushed to Ei, determine to feel her boobs.
Only for Ei to strike.
https://youtu.be/prfvPPAJ1MY
(Starts at 0:12) And yep! That's what happened. Only thing different is that Ddraig was set free from the pervert)
Not even ashes remain.
The Boost Gear glowed green as Ddraig spoke.
"Thank you, my lord and lady, for freeing me of that pervert."
Click!
"You're welcome." Zero said as he sheathed his sword and returned it to his armory, regaining his primary sword back. "But what will you do now?"
"I'm going to form a partnership with the (M/N) back in our world."
He said, referring to Union (M/N).
"That boy will put my power to better use then that worthless pervert ever could."
"A wise choice."
Ei nodded, as Zero began opening a portal back to Unionverse.
"Good luck on yours and (M/N) endeavors."
Zero said.
"Thank you." Ddraig said gratefully. "Oh, and White One!"
"Yes, Red One?"
Union Albion replied.
"Be prepared, because unlike that pervert, (M/N) will give you a challenge like never before!"
"I look forward to it, Red One."
Albion eagerly replied, he couldn't wait.
Ddraig then disappeared, appearing and fusing with (M/N) granting him even greater power than ever before.
"...Well, then."
Zero turned around and faced the stunned and terrified audience.
"Shall we continue?"
He said, as though he hadn't gone on a massacre and slaughter the idiots of Union.
"Let's."
Palpatine said.
That was some of the best entertainment he has had in a long while!
Something that Ivan Ooze also seemed to share as well.
"Although it might not seem like it, your wishes are intertwined by fate." Yuuko stated, bringing all eyes on her.
'...Fate, huh?'
Naruto thought to himself, somehow that word still managed to leave an impact strong enough that he was thinking about it even after witnessing a bloodbath just happening.
'For all that I say that fate doesn't control our lives and doesn't exist, I seem to be wrong as usual in some aspects concerning fate.'
"You wish to journey to save the princess" To Syaoran
"You wish to return to your world" To Kurogane
"You wish to not return to your world" to Fai
"And you," turning to her attention to (M/N), startling the teen "You wish to save your siblings."
"So, this is how it all began?"
Friedrich der Grobe questioned.
'Why is she bringing that up?' He thought to himself as everyone else stared at him, before realizing 'Wait, don't tell that I'm...'
A nod was all he needed to confirm his involvement with the party.
"I see."
Faust (Arknights) said.
...He did not know why, but he felt that (M/N) was going to be important later on.
'Is he going to have an impact on our world?'
He wondered.
"...I see." (M/N) simply said.
"But you still have not told them the price yet."
"Yeah, what is their price?"
W asked in curiosity.
Yuuko nodded as he pointed out the truth.
"Yes," turning to the group she spoke, "For your wishes to be granted, you must give up what you hold valuable to your heart."
"Fai, for you your price is the tattoo on your back."
"...Why is his tattoo that valuable?"
Several people asked, but the more experienced magic users eyes widened as they realized the purpose of the tattoo.
'A seal limiter!'
"Ah, wouldn't this staff be more suitable?" Fai tried to bargain, as he desperately did not want remove the seal.
Yuuko shook her head, "The price must be equivalent to your wish, so the tattoo is what you must give up."
"Ouch."
Yuuko was ruthless when doing business.
"Ah, oh well, can't be helped" Fai conceded as he felt the markings disappear from his back.
Snort!
"For you Kurogane, the price is your sword."
"Like hell I'm doing that!" He refused, "I'll find my own way back!"
"Is that sword an heirloom or something?"
Hood (Azur Lane) asked Zero.
"...Let just say that Fai and Kurogane did not have a good past." Zero sighed. "Fai suffered terribly in his childhood due to a superstition about twins. And Kurogane lost his home due to HIS machinations."
People shuddered at that.
"So, there is a reason the prices are those."
"Fine," Yuuko said as she poked her finger against his chest, "Then good luck in this world and dealing with the police when they arrest you for carrying a sword in this day and age." She sassily mocked him.
"Damn girl!"
RODK Denki whistled.
"She's someone I don't want to get on their bad side!"
"Same."
Izumi agreed, their friends also agreeing.
"Huh? what? police?" Kurogane asked confused on the term, before he reluctantly surrendered his sword. "Fine!, But be warned that I will come back for that!" He angrily said as he thrusted his sword to Yuuko.
"Oh, yeah."
Spoiler realized.
"They most likely don't have the term 'Police' where he's from."
Taking it, Yuuko turned her attention to the youngest member of the group.
"...As for you Syaoran, your price is Sakura-Hime herself."
"...Huh?"
"W-What?" The poor boy asked confused.
Continuing, Yuuko said
"You are very close with the Princess are you not? As such, your price will be the relationship you two have. She will never remember what you two had before you were brought here."
"No matter how many worlds you go, how many feathers you collect, she will never remember that you two had a past together."
"That is the price for your wish."
"What!?"
Various people screamed at that.
"Oh, man! that's horrible!" "Can't imagine how he felt about losing his close friendship with her!" "Such a cruel thing, these wishes are!"
"How was he able to make that choice!?" "I can't imagine forgetting someone I know forever or have to deal day by day with someone who will never remember me!"
'...This feels like Xion all over again!'
Roxas and Axel thought to themselves in shock.
When Xion died, everyone memories of her were erased due to the unique ability she had that gave her a physical form. It was only by pure luck that they were able to remember her in the Second Keyblade War!
But here...these seemed to be a situation where, no matter how hard they try. She will never remember him.
Even when Namine had erased everyone's memories of Sora, it could still be reversed. And only a few like Kairi were able to realize his existence, even if it was a feeling that there was something missing!
"Will you accept it?"
Yuuko asked as a harsh silence surrounded them, only the rain broke that silence.
"How many times I wonder?"
Theresa (HI3) spoke: "Has she stood there and had to make similar prices for their wishes to be granted?"
Syaoran hesitated, memories of all the time he spent with the Princess flashing through his mind.
Could he really sacrifice those precious moments? Never to return?
"...I accept." He firmly said, even if she will never remember him he will never stop protecting her.
"He's strong."
Archer said.
"He's willing start all over again knowing that she will never remember him."
Shirou Emiya shifted, after all this situation kind of felt like his. Memories gone, with no hope of returning.
...And he couldn't deny that regardless of how happy he is now.
He still wondered where he came from.
'Huh, Yuuko is not being completely honest.' (M/N) thought to himself. 'Technically since the Princess is going as well she too has to pay a price. The same price that Syaoran just paid. His memories of her.'
"...What?"
Seems like Yuuko decided to use a loophole that she is fond of exploiting when it suits her needs.
"Huh?" Patriot (Arknights) started. "So, she's not as cold as she makes herself out to be when doing business."
"It was her own way of helping to the best she can."
Zero crossed his arms.
"Despite all of our powers, we are limited to how much interference our spheres of influence can affect. There is just so much that we can interfere before we start risking the wrath of the world itself."
"That's why despite certain people knowing what was happening, they could not say anything. Only try their best to ensure that his plans did not succeed."
Beerus nodded at that. There was a reason why he did not intervene unless absolutely necessary.
"Very well," Yuuko said, "The prices have been accepted and now the time has come for your journey to begin!"
"Hold on," Kurogane interrupted, "You said that kid wish earlier which means he's coming with us."
"So, why is he not being asked a price as well?"
"For a powerful warrior, he doesn't seem to realize that they could have already talked about that before their arrival."
Hornet (Azur Lane) chuckled.
"Hhmm" Fai mused, having not realized that himself as he stared at (M/N).
"Talk about nosy."
Percy shook his head.
"You're one to talk."
His friends deadpanned.
"Hey!"
"He has actually been here for several years, so his price has already been paid." Yuuko explained.
"But what was...?"
"Seriously?" Cliffheart groaned. "Just drop it already!"
"That's between Yuuko and myself." (M/N) interjected, giving him a pointed stare at his nosiness.
"(M/N) certainly doesn't like people nosing in on his business, huh?"
Prinz Heinrich noted.
"You have to gain his trust first, before he will tell anything about himself."
Albel explained.
The Star Ocean cast remembering how closed off he was, when they first met him.
Kurogane shut up, a little impressed at the harsh look on the kid's face.
"We're back!" Watanuki voice shouted out as he carried two strange creatures; one white and one black (I better not hear stupid comments on that).
"A-WHACK!"
"NO."
RODK Koneko punched RODK Akeno in the gut.
Shutting up whatever perverted comment she was going to make.
"Thank you, Watanuki," Yuuko replied before turning to the group, "These creatures are known as Mokona Modoki and will be of use of taking you to your destination"
"Pyuu!" The white Mokona said as he(?) jumped onto Syaoran, "Mokona at your service."
"AAWWWW!"
The girls shrieked at the meat bun cuteness.
"SO CUTE!"
"So LOUD!"
Several people shouted as they felt their eardrums explode.
"If these guys can take us to other worlds, then I'll just take this one" Kurogane said as walked towards the black Mokona.
"...Idiot."
Graf Zeppelin scoffed.
"If it was that easy, then she would have said so from the start."
"Unfortunately for you, this one is staying in the shop as my method of communicating with you." Yuuko replied, "Besides, this one does not possess the power to travel dimensions."
"There's the catch."
"Tch!" Kurogane scoffed as he turned away.
"He really doesn't like being with people, does he?"
Cliff said.
"Reminds me of Albel."
"Watch it, worm!"
"Now then, it is time for you to depart on your journey!" Yuuko said as Mokona leapt into the air. Wings forming as the air around them became distorted.
"Cool!"
"Wait, you're going to!?" Watanuki asked (M/N).
"Poor guy is going to be stuck all by himself with no one to help him."
Laffey sleepily said.
...As she fell asleep again.
(Yet somehow is able to keep up with what's going on)
(M/N) simply nodded, "Apparently, this is what I have been waiting for."
"But don't worry, we'll meet again"
"After all,"
There is no coincidence in the world, only Hitsuzen! Inevitability" Yuuko and (M/N) simultaneously said.
"...No coincidence, huh?"
Several started at that.
Then again, there were things that they encountered that seem coincidental, but weren't.
"Seems like there is more to world than any of us ever imagined."
(Dad/N) said out loud, what most people were thinking.
Continuing, "Everything happens for a reason! And one day we will meet again!
(M/N) assured Watanuki as he felt himself being pulled away.
"Now is the time for our stories to begin!"
"After all." Akai gave a cheeky grin. "The journey has just begun!"
Was the last thing he said before they were gone.
A lifetime journey was about to begin.
-End Flashback-
"And that was the start of my journey of a lifetime (and many more)."
(M/N) finished.
.......
A heavy silence filled the base as they sat there trying to absorb all the information that was dumped on them.
The worlds truly were a vast and mysterious place to be.
"Ain't that the truth?"
The Justice League and the Avengers muttered to themselves.
Having been thrown into alternate dimensions before.
"There is more obviously, but that is a very long story."
"...How long?"
Kiana asked.
"To long." Zero deadpanned. "Which is why we will be alternating between this (M/N) adventures to the alternate versions of (M/N)"
"Oh boy."
"So, this is where we'll stop with storytelling. After all, we're here now."
Pointing at the destination they were heading to Hephaestus base.
"About time!"
Everyone got off talking with each other about what they have just learned as the Toa walked alongside (M/N).
"You okay?" Tahu asked, concerned. They already knew all this when he became a Toa and told them the truth about his past.
"I'll be fine" He reassured them, "Just been awhile since I took a stroll down memory lane."
"With how long you've been alive, I believe it."
Hermione deadpanned.
"Well don't push yourself to hard" Gali lectured him, "After all, we're getting close to the finale of this Lostbelt."
...Right.
The reason he had returned.
Nodding, (M/N) smiled as they entered Hephaestus workshop to prepare for the final battle against Zeus.
The Day to Bring Down the Gods is drawing to an end.
"And we'll take a little breather from there."
Zero said.
Pausing the screen.
"Do you have any questions?"
"...What did you do to our students?"
Union Nezu quietly asked.
"Don't worry about them."
Zero coolly told the rat/chimera/whatever he is.
"They're still alive and will be resurrected once we finish viewing this world. They're not going to escape the punishment that awaits them when they return home."
"Of course, they will be listening. They just won't be able to say anything at the moment."
...
"You okay, Rias?"
Union Yuuto Kiba asked his king.
"...No."
Union Rias admitted.
"I feel bad that I had to kill Akeno and Koneko since they have been with me for a long time." She admitted. "But at the same time, I cannot ignore what our actions have done."
"I can only hope that if they die. Then maybe they will get a reality check like I did when I saw my death at the hands of (M/N)."
"...But what if they don't learn?"
Union Gasper shyly asked.
"...Then their fates are sealed."
Was all Rias said.
"I guess Issei-no, Hyoudou, wasn't the man we thought him to be."
Union Rossweisse sadly said.
Well, at least she knew who wasn't a good partner for her.
"No."
Rias said.
"He wasn't."
...
"You keep putting empathize on certain words." RODK Ozpin decided to speak up before they were consumed by a gloomy atmosphere. "Like the word 'Destiny' why?"
"...Unity, Duty, Destiny."
Zero simply said.
"The Three Virtues of the Matoran Universe they hold dear and live by to ensure they never forget what Mata Nui has given them."
"Unity: The ability to work together. Showing that it's was much better to work together and succeed, than it was to work alone."
"This one was most important to understand out of the Three Virtues as Toa Teams needed to work together to protect the Matoran and fulfill their destiny. If there was strife and conflict, then the odds of the Toa succeeding were small. I've seen many Toa teams fall due to being unable to work together."
"Duty: Doing one job diligently and responsibly."
"For instance: The Toa's duty was to protect the Matoran, just like the village elder was to lead and guide the Matoran. Actually, the easiest for them to live by."
"Another example is HEROES."
He stressed that word out.
"Their Duty is to protect the civilians and stop those that would harm them with malicious intent. To protect the public from threats, not out of glory, but as their responsibility."
"Something some of you lack."
Here he glared at Union, causing the remaining members to flinch.
"Destiny: This one is a little tricky to explain. It basically means the ability to better oneself in the Matoran Universe. What one is 'meant' to accomplish in their lifetimes."
"For instance: Takanuva." Zero explained. "He was originally a Matoran called Takua, but his destiny was greater than that. He eventually found his Destiny and became the first ever Toa of Light."
"His friends who were also Matoran eventually become the Toa Inika themselves who were destined to save Mata Nui life."
"Batman and Superman."
Those two started at that.
"Their beginnings might have been different, but eventually they would become the heroes you see today. That is the THEIR Destinies."
"...And to weirdly collect/grow a family."
"...Ouch."
Batman deadpanned as his friends laughed at him.
"These Three Virtues are extremely important to the Matoran and help to give them a prosperous life ahead of them and hope in the darkest of times. They are also helped by their sub-virtues known as Principles, each unique to the Koros that they lived in."
"These Principles if followed, also gave the Matoran certain skills when they played their most well-known sport known as Kolhii, a sport similar to soccer."
He explained at the confused looks.
"It eventually evolved from kicking to using Kolhii sticks (that were originally fishing poles from Ga-Koro) after a certain incident and the sport became even more popular after that."
"...Interesting."
Megalon hummed, lost in thought.
Several other scientists and philosophers were also in agreement about the unique lifestyle of the inhabitants of this universe.
"...Did the princess ever get her memory back?"
Ventus asked uneasily, afraid of the answer.
"...Yes."
They breathed a sigh of relief.
"But only after the hell they went through with that journey was concluded, and (M/N) left to the stars. After he became the Toa of Life, he returned to a certain universe."
"The Kingdom Hearts universe."
This startled the Kingdom Hearts group; sure they were told that in certain universes certain groups did not exist.
This must have been of those universes he was talking about. Where only they existed in.
"He had already been into that universe before, and even became a Keyblade Master and helped end the Second Keyblade War with you guys."
'That's...actually reassuring.'
Riku and Sora thought to themselves.
Having witness just a small portion of his power, they would prefer him to be their ally.
"He also ended up being stuck with the X-Blade."
SPIT!
That startled the Kingdom Hearts group.
"THE X-BLADE!?"
"Yep!" Zero popped out. "Poor guy just can't catch a break!"
The look on his face, though, was one of amusement.
'...Poor guy.'
The KH group thought to themselves.
"He needed Vexan to restart the Replica program and make two more replicas for reasons I will show you later." Zero said, gaining looks of curiosity at that. "And after giving Namine a small boost, she was able to restore Sakura-Hime memories of Syaoran."
"Well," King Mickey spoke. "That's a relief! They got a happy ending after all!"
'...Yeah.' Zero thought to himself. 'After going through so much hell and pain, they finally got their happy ending.'
Time travel apparently wasn't enough to mess with, clones, keeping the originals hostage, destroying the lives of certain people, homicidal clones that only regain their humanity by accidentally killing their precious person, and a whole other issues that he did not want to think about.
'I wonder how the Syaorans are doing right now?'
Zero thought
Last he knew, the 'twins' returned to the Original Syaoran world, the CCS world, where the clone ended up being adopted by his original's parents. And Watanuki, having regained his memories also returned to his family with the Syaorans in tow.
(If you guys have read Tsubasa Resevior Chronicles, then you know that the Original Syaoran parents are his and Princess Sakura clones. But at the time, when he was revealing his backstory I honestly thought it was the Cardcaptor Sakura versions of Sakura and Syaoran that were his parents. The wand, the sword. So, imagine my surprise at that twist.)
(...For the sake of my sanity, I went with the fan canon because I am still confused then on how the Original Syaoran came to be, since technically there was no way, the clones could be his parents in the Original Timeline before he made his wish to turn back time. And I still preferred the CCS versions being his parents)
(And if you don't know, if you haven't read it yet. But due to the Original Syaoran wish to turn back time, Watanuki was created to take his place due to the price he had to pay. So, basically Watanuki is also Syaoran, yet not as he is still his own person. He can be considered to be the Original Syaoran brother)
'Sakura clone has integrated herself as part of the Royal Family back in Clow Country and is doing well being her Original self 'twin sister'.'
'Kurogane has already returned back to his Japan, with Fai now acting as Tomoyo-Hime court wizard...and needling Kurogane as much as he likes much to the man annoyance.'
Shaking his head, he stood up.
"Well! I'm starved!"
Zero said.
"Who wants some Jambalaya?!"
?!
'That was random!'
Many of them thought to themselves!
"An old friend shared his recipe of a very good dish of Jambalaya that he learned his mother!"
Zero began walking to the kitchen as people started getting up.
"He even said it was so complex and so good to make that it almost killed her!"
Hs continued walking as people were chatting.
Denki linking his arm with Izumi.
Kiana laughing at a joke Mei made.
Amagi grabbing her sisters, stopping them from trying to pick a fight.
Batman giving Joker the evil eye.
Joker smiling.
(Oh yeah, he's definitely thinking up of a prank right now)
Darth Vader letting Nahida ride his shoulders.
Padme, Lucia (Female Luke Skywalker because I ship Luke Skywalker with Ezra Bridger for some reason. Plus, it would be funny to see overprotective Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader parent mode on the poor souls that dare to court his daughters), and Leia just chuckling at how the Dark Lord of the Sith could be so kind.
Lorem and Zeke smiling as Gospel hanged from his mother arms.
The rest of their group happily smiling as they went to eat.
"In fact, he even said it was a kick straight out of hell!"
Beerus shook his head, trying his best not to laugh.
He was a little concern about Zero quietness on some subjects, but decided it was probably for the best that they were kept secret.
'Probably most be painful to reveal even if it doesn't involve him.'
Was his thought, before heading to the kitchen table.
Eager to try out this new dish.
"I hope you guys learn from this."
RODK Ozpin gave his and his friends counterparts a stare.
"This could all have been averted if you weren't so obsessed with power and trampling over those that can't defend themselves."
Taking a sip from his mug, he went to eat.
Everyone else following suit.
Needing a break from what had just happened.
Done!
So, the bullies are dead for now, Union Issei has lost Ddraig who now has allied with Union (M/N).
Zero favored sword style has been revealed, which is also Ignika (M/N) favored sword style as well.
Made some tiny references in this chapter.
Ei made an epic cutscene.
Everyone is now scared of them.
And hopefully the Union adults will finally use their brains.
Hope you like it and I wish you all a good day.
Have a good day/night!
