Invincible Part 1
...
At last...
It's here...
The next chapter(s).
Warning that this will be long, just letting you know.
Also be aware that this is going to be dark and heavy on graphic descriptions of deaths and gore. Oh, and language also.
It's Invincible after all.
I don't own any of the art, they belong to their creators.
Tempest and Seraphim OCs are in these viewings.
Enjoy!
...
God I'm so fucking drained that I can't even muster excitement to say the last part with my usual gusto.
"You guys are still all doom gloom?"
Zero asked as he gives the theater a look. Like seriously, he left for a short while and people were still in shock at what they just say.
"Is..." Aphrodite spoke up. She and the other gods had been unusually silent during the first viewing (actually I forgot about them because I was pressed for time to finish the previous channel). "Is this what humanity is really capable of? Of creating such tragedies and pain?"
"Watch it."
Diego gave her a glare, though he did have a bit of a blush on his face as he looked at her. Which you couldn't blame him cause the woman barely had anything on besides the barest minimum.
"It is true we humans have great capacity for pain, sorrow, and destruction. But that is just one side of us." He said. "You have yet to understand that those tragedies also help us to learn and create a beautiful future."
"That world says quite the contrary."
Loki cackles.
"You humans have proven why you need to be under the Gods supervision. You can't be trusted to be left to your devices. I think allowing you mortals free will was probably the only mistake we have ever made."
"He's got a point." Shiva said, shaking his head. "This just proves to us that humanity as a whole is too far gone and needs to be destroyed."
Many of the Gods of Ragnarok agreed to that, causing the humans to grit their teeth at the Gods arrogance.
Gilgamesh in particular because this was reminding him of the arrogance of a certain goddess from his time.
"And that is why you'll lose."
Ethan coldly said, shutting them up.
"...What did you just say to me, mortal?"
Loki dangerously said.
"You heard me, you asshole."
Ethan said unflinchingly.
"That is why you will lose. You are obsolete."
*OFFENDED GASPS*
"You think so little of humanity and only see the destruction they bring to the world and refuse to see the good they also bring."
"It's no wonder you Gods choose the easy way out by deciding to kill them instead of leaving the world in their hands."
Grace said.
Before delivering a very insulting blow to their pride.
"Cowards."
!!!
"WHAT!?" "WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?" "DID SHE?!" "SHE DID!"
"How dare you insult the Gods!"
The White Raven shouted.
"This is a transgression of the highest order!" The Black Raven screeched. "A transgression punishable by DEA-!"
"Enough."
The cold and emotionless voices of Poseidon and Odin cut through the room. Shutting them up.
"Gods do not lower themselves to acting like a bunch of senseless buffoons over having something insignificant like their pride being hurt."
Poseidon coldly said.
"We were brought here for a reason." Odin said. "If you can't take a little bit of criticism then you cannot call yourselves Gods."
He might have been speaking to the council of Gods, but his eye was solely focused on Loki who shimmered down from his uncle stare.
"Humans..." Thor spoke up now. "...They are more interesting than I initially thought."
!?
"EH!?"
Loki and Thor fellow gods that admired him (don't remember the name, I just know they were the ones he saved when the Giants attacked) shouted in shock at that admission.
"Why would you?"
"For eons I have grown in power." Thor said. "But getting stronger also means fewer worthy opponents to fight. This unexpected gathering has shown me that there ARE worthy opponents to be found in the multiverse. Ones that could be even stronger than me."
"Blasphemous!"
One of his admirers shouted.
"Mortals cannot hope to compare to a God! It is impossible and not meant to be!"
...Okay, these gods really did have an ego.
"Chill out."
Buddha said as he savored a lollipop.
"If Thor says, then there must be truth in his words."
"BUT!"
Suddenly, the air got heavy.
"I said."
Buddha gave him a dark look through his glasses.
"Chill out."
He ordered, all traces of amusement gone from his face as he grew tired of the god pointless ramblings.
!!!
"Ye-Yes Buddha..."
The God said as he sat back downed, thoroughly cowed by the usually chill and laid back God.
"You Gods have forgotten yourselves."
Zero said.
"You might think that just because your Gods that means you have the right to decide what's best for everyone...but you don't. Like a baby bird that spreads its wings and leaves the nest. You must let humanity spread their wings and take flight for themselves."
"Even if it means removing yourselves from the picture."
"..."
It was honestly amazing at how it didn't take that much for the Gods to understand their errors...well most of them.
Then again, if humans were indeed mirror images of the Gods themselves, then understanding was easier than expected considering that the Gods and Humans were more alike than either care to admit.
"..."
Brunhilde can honestly say she never expected this to happen. She always wanted the Gods to be humbled and taken down more than a few notches. But this was beyond anything she could have ever dreamed of.
In a way, it kind of felt bittersweet because she wasn't the one to do the sense knocking into.
Goll was just terrified of what was going on around here.
And what of the stupid ones?
"MMPH!"
They were still being silenced at the moment.
"Even seeing it for myself I still have a hard time believing it."
Makima said, shaking her head.
Worry could actually be heard in her voice.
"And I thought Devils were bad."
Denji said.
"I want to fight them!"
Power shouted.
"Of course you do."
"Such power..."
Cinder breathed.
If she had that, she would be unstoppable and finally rid herself of that damn thorn of a rose!
"Don't even think about it."
Salem ordered.
!!
"But my lady!"
Cinder tried to protest.
"NO!"
Salem said firmly as her group looked at her directly and recoiled as they saw something they have never seen before.
Fear.
Which terrified them because Salem is immortal. Unstoppable. Unkillable.
And she was afraid?!
"They are not normal."
Salem said.
"Just from this alone, I can feel it. This is beyond anything I have ever felt. They are beyond those accursed Brother Gods."
She spat out, anger and humiliation coursing through her veins at admitting that.
???
'Brother Gods?'
Some of the RWBY cast thought to themselves.
"You mentioned before that not even we Transformers could destroy them with ease."
Knockout said.
"Is this why?"
*SIGH*
"In a way, yes." Zero said. "But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Let's just the universes she's a part of, have beings that are capable of fighting even GODS."
!!!
That sent a shiver.
"Word of advice?" Tempest said. "Don't underestimate the silly/goofy looking characters. They're the ones that can make even your greatest nightmares run in fear."
"...Mommy."
Monoma and Naoya whimpered.
"She would make a fine warrior."
Anissa said.
"And I thought the Exterminations were scary."
Moxxie said.
"Much to learn you all do."
"I don't know what you're all panicking about."
Scar said.
"It was fun!"
"Of course you would say that."
Rover deadpanned.
*SIGH*
"Well..."
Zero says as he turns to the screen.
"...It's time."
He said.
?
"We've been putting this off with this little talk for too long."
He admitted, confusing the group.
???
They had no idea of what he was talking about.
"Guardians."
He suddenly said to the Guardians of the Globe, catching their attention.
???
"You're about to find out what would have happened if I hadn't brought you all here."
?!
"Wh-What do you mean?"
War Woman asked as Omni-Man tensed.
This wasn't good. He was going to be exposed, and with him, the truth about the Viltrum Empire as well.
"This world we are about to see." Ei spoke up. "It is similar to your world but has big differences."
"For example." Tempest spoke up. "Remnant used to exist here."
This caught RWBY attention (and Afton slightly as well before he realized it wasn't the Remnant he's been after) as they looked to him.
"What?"
Yang asked.
"We're in that world too?"
"...We WERE to be exact." Weiss said as she remembers that he used the words 'used to exist here'. "But our world is...gone, isn't it?"
"Yes."
Anakin said without hesitation.
?!?!
"WHAT?!"
The more vocal/emotional individuals from the RWBYverse shouted.
"WHY!?" "HOW!?" "BY WHO!?"
"By beings far more terrifying than the so-called Brother Gods."
Zero coolly said, gaining the Gods interest at that. And curiosity as to why he said so-called.
Were they usurpers? False idols?
"...Brother Gods?"
Terra asked, confused by that.
"It's a rather long and somewhat not important history in your world." Theresa said. "From long forgotten age that was eradicated because of the 'gods' pettiness."
?!
"What...What happened?"
Ruby asked.
"What caused our world to be destroyed for real this time in that timeline?"
...
"There exists a powerful empire in that world."
Amagi said, crossing her arms.
"They are extremely dangerous and have adopted a dangerous philosophy. To be the only empire in existence and rule other worlds."
!!
That sent chills down their spines as the Viltrumites had neutral expressions, trying not to give away their nervousness.
"They conquered worlds." Ruan Mei said. "Most of the time, the worlds surrender after seeing their might and they do benefit from under their rule. Other worlds that dare to resist are either forced into the empire or destroyed if there is nothing of use to them."
"Mark our words, they are not to be trifled with."
!!!
People shuddered from the ominous words they spoke while the Vanguardians frowned at that.
Forcing people into joining them and killing them if they resist? That sounded more like tyrants and dictators than benevolent rulers in their eyes.
"BIG DEAL!"
Homelander shouted after finally being able to talk.
"They are all weak compared to me!"
He shouted arrogantly.
"Even the weakest of the Seven could take them all on and kill those fuckers where they stand!"
Vought, certain heroes, Central Government and others agreed on that. There was no way this supposedly powerful empire could even come close to beating them.
"And I thought Starscream had an ego and was annoying."
Arachnid deadpanned.
"This human makes him look like a saint."
"I should be offended by what you said." Starscream said. "But I'm in agreement with you. They make me look good."
"They are grating on my audio receptors."
Knockout said.
"Their boasting is...illogical."
Shockwave said.
"Their very existence is illogical."
Carmilla Carmine deadpanned.
"Analysis." Svarog spoke up. "Lady Carmilla is right."
"Indeed." Shockwave also agreed. "Their thought processes are...illogical."
Many frowned at their vain and arrogant boasting and posturing. Not liking how they were disregarding this unknown and potentially powerful threat like it was as simple as taking off a band aid.
Thragg, Omni-Man and Anissa frowned at the insults and felt their pride being insulted and were about to throw caution to the wind when someone else did that for them.
*CRACKLE* *ZAP!!*
"ARGH!!!"
Homelander and the others screamed in pain as Palpatine used Force Lightning to electrocute them.
"Foolish heroes."
Palpatine sneered at them.
"If only you could see from your little glass houses and open your eyes to reality."
"Why don't you go fuck off to a retirement home, grandpa!!"
Homelander snarled.
"I might be old."
Palpatine cackled.
"But I'm more than enough for the likes of you."
"Why you!"
"ENOUGH!"
Zero slammed his foot to the ground.
*BAM!*
*CRACK!*
Breaking the ground beneath him as he gave them a terrifying glare that promised pain and suffering if they did not shut up.
"You are testing my patience and trust me, you don't want to know how I'm like when I'm mad."
Zero warned.
"Now, sit down. And shut up."
He coldly said as they did so, and the screen started playing.
"Wait!"
Ruby suddenly shouted.
"Hm?"
Zero looked at her.
"If we're dead, then why did you even mention it?" She asked in confusion. "I'm not seeing a reason why you would tell us if we're already dead."
!?
"Hey, that's right."
Yang said.
"What's the point in telling us if we're not even alive at this point in that world?"
"..."
"Heh."
Seraphim smirks at them.
"You'll see."
???
What did he mean by that?
Soon, the screen showed their new world.
What it showed shocked the Invincible guests to the core.
As they saw...
"OMNI-MAN!!!"
Immortal fighting and trying to kill Omni-Man?!
"Wh-What?!"
Mark shouted in shock as he watched Immortal trying to kill his dad.
What was going on here?!
"Wh-What..."
Immortal said in shock.
Why was his future self fighting and trying to kill Omni-Man!? Did he go mad? Did immortality finally cause him to snap!? Did Omni-Man not give him back the five dollars that he owes him!?
Behind him, the rest of the Guardians of the Globe were also murmuring in shock.
"Immortal is trying to kill Omni-Man?" "Why would he?" "This is messed up, man."
Cecil frowns at what he was seeing as his mind connected the dots from Zero words and to the fact that the Guardians had been summoned by an unknown source.
His eyes widened a bit as he had no choice but to come to the unwanted conclusion.
'It couldn't be...' He thought to himself in denial. 'Why would Nolan betray us?'
Cause if what everything he had gathered so far was true. The guardians at the base, Nolan 'flying around the world', the truth that Zero said they were about to learn...
...Was everything they thought they knew about Nolan a lie?
"No..."
Debbie muttered in shock, her hands covering her mouth as she watched in horror as Immortal pummeled her husband on screen.
"YES!" Toga shouted. "BLOOD!"
...Of course.
The nuts would love watching this.
Optimus felt numb for some reason as he watches this. Why did it feel so ominous and familiar to him?
"YOU BASTARD!!!"
Immortal roared as he slammed Omni-Man right into the ground. The monster behind them being ignored as Immortal pummeled Omni-Man in the face.
"Oh, god!" "Oh fuck!" "What the fucking hell!?" "Why!?"
Omni-Man grunted as grabbed Immortal and flew into the sky, the two locking eyes. One of hate and one of anger.
"Wh...What happened?"
Mark said, terrified at what he was seeing.
"Why is Immortal attacking dad?!"
"Wish I knew kid."
Immortal said in shock.
"As far as I'm aware, Nolan and I are on good terms. Great friends."
Nolan shifted uncomfortably at that.
Knowing the reason why.
"Yeah, great friends considering the fact that you two are duking it out violently."
Anis sarcastically said.
"Oh?" The Commander gives her a look. "Like you and Neon don't duke it out over a freaking drink?"
"IT'S MINE!"
The two locked in fierce combat as Immortal laid a powerful punch to his face, causing Omni-Man to let go of him. Temporarily stunned as Immortal charged at him.
"BASTARD!" Immortal roared. "How could you do this to us?! We were your friends!!!"
???
"What?"
Green Ghost asked.
"What is he talking about?"
Aquarus asked.
"Did something happened between now and however far long in the future that is?"
War Woman frowned.
'So, he had started weakening Earth defenses.'
Anissa and Thragg thought to themselves.
"...Viltrumite..."
Allen whispered in horror as his brain started working again.
???
Why did he sound so scared?
The Viltrumites were good...right?
In the distance, a news helicopter could be seen.
"Of course."
Blitzo said.
"When aren't they ever killing themselves?"
"Shut it you old geezer!"
Loona shouted.
"I want to see this!"
"GAH!"
Blitzo shouted.
"Right in the heart!"
"...You have a heart?"
Millie asked.
"GAH!!!"
"I can't believe what I'm seeing folks." The news reporter said in shock as his cameraman also looked in shock. "But the Immortal."
He said as the Immortal charged furiously at Omni-Man.
"Or at least...someone that looks like him is suddenly attacking Omni-Man."
He said as Immortal rammed into him.
"Maybe it's a clone?"
Octavia offered.
"That's one pissed off clone."
PowerLoader said.
The scene changes to a city where people were watching in horror and shock.
"As you all know the Immortal was murdered-"
!?!
"W-Wha-?"
The Immortal...murdered?!
"-8 months ago-"
"WH-WHAT?!"
"-Along with the original members of the Guardians of the Globe."
?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
"WHAT?!!??!!??!!?!?"
The members of Invincible shouted in pure shock and horror.
The Guardians of the Globe...DEAD!?!?
"NO!" "Impossible!" "How can this be!?" "The Guardians...dead!?!?"
Screams and shouts of denial could be heard as Cecil was in deep shock as this definitely confirmed it.
"Nolan..."
He whispered in shock, pain and betrayal.
How could Nolan do this to them?
Did that mean that the Viltrumites were their enemies? Not their friends?
"No...NO!"
Red Rush said in horror.
"I promised Olga everything would be fine..."
He said speaking slowly for once.
"No..."
Green Ghost said in horror.
Martian Man was horrified and was glad that he kept firm to not letting Nikki getting involved in Guardian business. He would never forgive himself if Nikki got hurt.
"Shit."
Henry said as he lit a smoke.
"How horrible."
"Be glad we're not showing you the aftermath of their brutal murders."
Ei said.
"You wouldn't like to see it."
"Oh please!" Homelander scoffed. "It's probably just a stupid punch and they died!"
His lackies laughed as Ei frowned.
"Fine." She said as the screen changed. "You brought upon yourself."
!!
The screen changed to show their brutal and gory murders.
*RETCH*
Several people vomited into the baskets next to their sides after seeing that. Especially the BNHA students as this was their first time witnessing such a horrific and brutal murder.
Hell!
Even the Pros, Vigilantes, and Villains were feeling sick seeing that horrific scene.
Homelander cocky smirk was wiped off clean as he paled a little.
"Fuck." Butcher said. "That's...sick..."
"I don't feel so happy."
Toga admitted, which terrified Dabi and the others that knew her.
If even Toga was sickened by this...you know it's bad.
"And I thought we were brutal."
Dystopian said to his group who nodded.
"You are."
Grace (Vanguardians) said.
"...Yeah, good point."
The Vanguardians rolled their eyes at that,
The screen flickered back to their regularly scheduled broadcast.
"Anyone else want to try their luck?"
Demo cheerfully asked.
"..."
"Thought not."
"The killer was never caught."
The reporter said as everyone around the world had their eyes glued to the screen as the brutal showdown between Omni-Man and Immortal continued.
"..."
In a city known as Green Hills, a group was watching this from a home as three of them started walking out the door.
"Don't you da-!"
*SLAM*
The door was close as they were already gone.
"Are they trying to get themselves killed?!"
In another area, 5 people were getting suit up to join the party.
???
"Who are they?"
March 7th asked.
"People who will play a part in this story."
Theresa said.
In yet, another location, we see a young man glaring at the screen with extreme hatred. More specifically, at Omni-Man.
"So, you finally shown your true face to them."
The man said in cold anger that would make the coldest winter feel like the warmest.
The people in the theater shivered from how cold he spoke and how it seemed to radiate into the theater despite being on screen.
Hell! Even Gods like Poseidon (who was well known for stoic and emotionless personality) couldn't help but shivered at such anger with such a tone.
"Wh...What did Nolan do to make that young man be full of so much hate and anger towards him?"
Debbie asked.
"Analysis." Svarog spoke up. "The truth will be shown shortly."
"That conclusion is logical."
Shockwave agreed causing the Transformers and Belobog to do a double take.
"Great, there's two of them."
Arachnid and Seele said.
While Grace Howard was drooling over the Transformers and itching to get her hands on them.
*WHIR*
"Don't even think about it."
Megatron said as he aimed his cannon at the Belobog Industries worker.
His gut told him to be wary of her.
And after seeing the last viewing, he was not taking any chances.
"Awwww..."
"Now, I have no reason to hold back."
The man wickedly said.
"I will make you pay for what you did..."
"...Father."
!?!?!??!
"WHAT?!"
Was the expected shout.
"He has another son!?" "Seriously, Nolan?!" "Nolan! Explain!"
"He's not my kid!" Nolan shouted. "I've never seen him in my life!"
"He's not wrong." Amagi said. "He doesn't exist in your world. But he is Omni-Man son in that world. And you don't have to worry about Nolan possibly cheating on you. This was over a hundred years ago."
"...I forgot how long my husband race can live for."
Debbie deadpanned.
Nolan and the other Viltrumites sweatdropped at that.
Though were now interested in seeing these new events unfolding.
Did they have a new warrior to add to their ranks?
"MURDERER!!!!"
!?!?!?!??!
"Wh...What did he just say?"
Atom Eve asked in pure shock.
"Mur-murderer?"
Debbie said in horror as some looked sick or pale.
Nolan said nothing as he tensed. Knowing that this wasn't going to pretty.
"HOW COULD DO THIS TO US?!" Immortal repeated as he continued punching him. "WE TRUSTED YOU!! WE WERE YOUR FRIENDS!"
Now, they could see some small slivers of tears leaking out of Immortal eyes.
"HOW COULD YOU GO AND KILL US LIKE THAT IN COLD BLOOD AND WITH NO GUILT!?!?"
!!!!!!
"N-NO!"
Debbie fell to her knees as she heard what Immortal said.
Her husband...would kill the Guardians? His friends? People he's known for years?
"Nolan, please tell me this isn't true!"
She begged her husband who looked away for a second.
"Nolan, answer me!" She said. "Tell me, you weren't on your way to kill the Guardians before we were teleported here!"
"The answer is obvious."
Nolan said.
"The moment Mark gained his powers was the moment that the Guardians needed to be taken out."
"PERMANENTLY."
His voice.
His voice that was once full of warmth, strength, compassion, strength...was cold, ruthless, dark.
"Earth has a lot of resources."
Anissa said.
"They will make a fine addition to the Viltrum Empire."
!?
"Wha-What are you talking about?"
Mark asked horrified and confused.
Why was his dad doing this? Was he under some kind of brainwashing or mind control?!
"What is going on here?"
Ethan frowned.
"I think these Viltrumites are not as benevolent as they made themselves out to be."
Alice frowns.
"If this conversation and what we are seeing on screen is any indication."
Nobara frowns.
"Then that is an understatement."
She finished as the Invincible cast were starting to lose it as the truth was making itself known.
Immortal roared in anger and hurt. Hurt because the man he once thought of as a friend had stabbed them all in the back literally and killed them heartlessly and with no remorse.
*GRIP*
?!
Omni-Man grabbed his fist and clenched it tight as he glared coldly at him.
"You should have stayed dead."
Was all Omni-Man said as he punched his jaw, causing a few tooth fly off as Immortal was sent flying a couple of feet.
*ROAR*
Omni-Man quickly turned to see the monster that he had been fighting with holding Mark in its grip.
"Dad?"
Mark shouted as he was trapped in the monster tentacle being crushed.
!?
"MARK!?" Debbie shouted. "What are you doing there?! You're not ready to fight monsters of that level yet! You haven't even begun training!"
"Mom, I'm not!" Mark shouted. "But this is 8 months into the future, so I obviously have gotten some training down!"
"8 months isn't enough!" Debbie shouted back. "Not to fight large scale battles like that at least!"
"He's a Viltrumite." Nolan said. "A pathetic beast like that isn't even close enough to destroy us."
"Don't start now, Nolan!" Debbie growls as she looks at her husband in anger. "I'm going to get my answers one or another, Nolan. I'm not going to just let this, this murder slide!"
"Humans and their messy relationships."
Wheeljack said.
"I doubt you Transformers are different."
Grace (Vanguardians) deadpanned.
"Actually."
"Sentinel Prime."
Diego (Vanguardians) deadpanned.
"..."
Omni-Man eyes seemed to flash with worry as he tried to help his son. Only for the Immortal to have recovered already and began fighting him again.
While Omni-Man and the Immortal were duking it out. Mark found himself in a pickle. Namely getting his ass beaten by a goddamn monster!
"Mark..."
Debbie whispers in fear.
"Man, what kind of fucking monster is that?!"
Rex shouted.
"Wish I knew."
Monty said.
"A worthy opponent!"
Battle Beast shouted.
"Looks like Earth is good for something after all!"
"It cannot die."
Blade whispers.
"What will it take to kill it!?"
Nicole shouted.
*Clink*
??
*BURST*
*WRAP!!*
!?!?
Suddenly chains appeared and wrapped themselves around the monster. Managing to hold it in place.
!?
"What the?!" "Who is!?" "Where did those chains come from!?"
"EH?"
Gilgamesh at the screen in momentary surprise, before relaxing his composure.
'Oh...'
He thought to himself.
Those chains weren't Enkidu, he realized.
"Huh?" Mark said in shock as he looked at the chains. "These chains are!"
"Mark!"
A female voice grabbed his attention as he looked down.
"Need some help?"
The woman said with a slight smile as she and four other girls looked at him.
"Woah!" "They're hot!" "Damn, those are some nice bodies!" "So thick!" "Huh? Aren't two of them apart of that Vanguardians group?" "Woah, mama!"
Was the reaction towards the female group on the screen.
"...Huh?" Rachel blinked. "Is that Alice and I on the screen?"
"It is us." Alice said. "But who are the other three?"
"They look familiar."
Joshua said.
"Helena!"
Mark shouted as he saw the Vanguardians.
...
"WAIT WHAT!?!?"
Were there and ready to fight.
Emily Kalder/Bravestorm
Helena Lazarus/Hexmaker
Jasmine Santiago/Vitalito
Rachel Fairchild /Forcewave
Alice Albright/Riftstar
"WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?"
The Vanguardians and Chaosbringers (with the exception of Qliphoth) all shouted in shock.
"That's us!?" "I'm a girl!?" "It's an all female Vanguardians group!?" "What is this!? Some kind of harem story!?"
"Yes, yes and yes. There are worlds where you're all boys, girls, or genderswap."
Zero said.
"Is it really that shocking?"
"Kind of."
Ethan said.
"More shocking than Ethan having a sis complex."
Joshua said.
"You want to die!?"
Ethan lunged at Joshua.
Grace sweatdrops as she facepalms at this.
'Was I better off living in an orphanage?' She thought to herself. 'I just keep remembering all the time he death glared the boys that that were interested in me.'
Freaking overprotective older brothers.
"What are you doing here?"
Mark asked.
"All eyes are on you guys now." Jasmine said. "The entire world is watching."
!?!?
"The...entire world?"
Mark nervously laughs.
"Well...this is embarrassing."
He said.
"Don't worry about it." Rachel said. "They're more focused on Immortal trying to kill your dad."
"Speaking of which." Alice piped up. "Any idea what's going on? Why is Immortal back in business and trying to casually murder your dad?"
Oh, right.
"No idea."
Mark truthfully as he struggled to get out of the monster grip.
"I've been busy trying to not get eaten."
He said as the monster tried to break free.
"Fair enough."
Alastor said.
"Indeed." Kafka chuckles. "I do believe trying not to die and get eaten is a little bit more important than trying to listen in on their conversation."
"He can multitask."
Herta deadpanned.
"Not everyone can be a genius like you."
Himeko said.
"Eh."
Herta just shrugs.
"Good point." Emily said. "Alice if you would."
Alice nodded and Mark felt himself slipping down a portal.
"Wouaugh!"
Mark shouted as he fell through a random dimension before returning to Earth and hitting the ground.
"Ow..."
Mark said as he groans in pain.
"That hurt."
"You'll get used to it."
Helena said as she released the chains allowing the monster to be free.
*ROAR!*
The monster roared in anger as it lashed out at them.
*HUM*
Alice opened her portals and caused the monster limbs to in them. Before she quickly closed them and cut the tentacles off, causing the limbs to fall to the ground, squirming as they did so.
"HOLY SHIT!"
Angel Dust shouted.
"That's some skill!"
Cherri Bomb said.
"Vicious and efficient." Indivilia nodded in approval. "Good work."
"Thanks?"
Alice said.
"Well...he's pissed now." Emily said. "Any ideas how to kill him?"
"Electrocute his body?" Mark asked as Omni-Man and Immortal were still duking it out in the background. "I mean, everything dad and I have thrown at him just seems to fail or piss him off. Maybe if we overload his body with electricity, it might kill him?"
"Well, look at you, using your brain, kiddo!"
Rex ruffles Mark hair.
"Maybe working with you won't be so bad after all when you join the team."
"H-Hey!"
Mark protested as Rex messed his hair up.
"That'll work."
Emily said as she called upon the clouds to start raining right on top of the monster.
"Rachel." Emily said to her teammate. "Mind making a little rumble?"
"It would be a pleasure."
Rachel smirks as she uses her Vector Manipulation and cause the ground the monster was standing to shake and throw the monster off balance as it slipped and fell to the ground.
'Now!'
Helena quickly trapped the monster in chains as Emily raised her hand to the sky.
"Face judgement."
Emily coolly said as the clouds unleashed a powerful bolt of lighting on the monster!
*ROAR!!*
The beast howled in pain as it was electrocuted to death. With one final howl, it stopped moving and laid there...dead.
"Jesus!"
Jack Darby shouted.
"That's seriously OP!"
"To think that humans really are capable of achieving such feats without the aid of Gods..."
Zeus hummed.
Perhaps...it might be best to reassess Humanity as a whole then...he was starting to feel his blood boil.
How long has it been since he had a good fight?
"Such flawless teamwork."
Von Lycaon said.
"They are like a well-oiled machine."
Anby said.
Grace (Vanguardians) just giggles.
"You don't know the half of it." She said. My brother and his friends, are quite frankly some of the most powerful individuals in the multiverse."
"What did you sa-?!"
*SPLAT*
"Annoying."
Ivan Ooze deadpanned as he sealed Tyrian, Homelander, and Firecracker mouths shut.
"Damn!"
Mark said as he surveyed the damage.
"That was awesome!"
He told them.
"No wonder Union and the others hate the fact that you guys refused to ally with them!"
"...Union?"
Ethan blinked.
"What is a Union?"
He said.
"You don't want to know."
Zero, Tempest, Seraphim, and Demo all said in unison.
???
"Okay?"
Ethan said.
"You look like an Ethereal." Belle suddenly said. "Any relations to them?"
"HAH!" Demo laughed. "Those losers could only wish they were as stylish and handsome as me!"
"Guess that's a no. Works for me!"
Belle said.
Wise sweatdropped at that.
The girls just laughed before they all turned to the other fight. Their smiles wiped off their faces as the brutal battle reached its climax.
"BASTARD!" Immortal roared. "I'll KILL YOU!!"
He shouted as Omni-Man hit him. Immortal grunted as jabbed his fingers into Omni-Man eyes, determined to gouge them out.
"Oh, fuck! This is brutal!"
Angel Dust said.
"Even I can't feel aroused by this!"
And that was saying something.
"Who knew humans could be this brutal."
Ratchet said.
"Blood."
Ellen simply said.
Roaring in pain, Omni-Man screamed until he finally landed a powerful punch into Immortal guts.
*SQUELCH*
*Wheeze!*
The Immortal gasped and wheezed as Omni-Man dug right into his guts before punching right through his back.
!!!
"Oh MY-!!!"
!!!
Mark and the Vanguardians could only stare in shock as Omni-Man did this.
"RAAAH!"
Omni-Man roared as he then bisected the Immortal by the waist this time. Killing him again as he fell to the ground, dying as his organs spilled out.
!!
*RETCH*
Hear that sound?
Yeah, this was not meant for the faint of heart as some people quickly learned.
"Th-This is horrible!"
Ruby coughed out as Yang handed her some water.
"Monster..."
Rin said as Shirou jumped.
"How could you do that?!"
Shirou shouted as he tried to charge at Omni-Man only for the most unlikely person to hold him back.
Archer.
"Calm down, boy!" Archer shouted at the foolish hero idealistic fool...who was him as a teenager. Young and stupid. "You don't stand a chance against him!"
"BUT!"
"Shirou no!" Saber shouted at her master. "This man, these people...they are beyond anything I have seen. I don't think even I can stand up to them in my current state. What hope will you have?!"
"But..."
"He could kill you in the blink of an eye."
Rider said.
"..."
Shirou deflated and sat back down as everyone's eyes were turned back to the screen.
"...Interesting."
Kirei said, a sinister smirk on his face at the carnage before him.
This was getting more and more interesting.
"D-Dad...?"
Mark eyes widened behind his mask as he and the Vanguardians could only stare in shock and horror at what they just witnessed.
As did the rest of the world. It was as if time had stopped for just that moment as everyone watched in horror at what they just saw.
Omni-Man just killed Immortal.
"RRGH!"
Omni-Man eyes opened to show that they were bloodshot from Immortal jabbing his fingers into them.
The air was filled with stunned silence.
"...Dad...?"
Mark softly said, getting his father attention as Omni-Man looked to his son and to the Vanguardians. There was evident sadness in his eyes as he looks at Mark.
"Mark..."
Omni-Man says as he floated closer to him.
Mark instinctively floated back a bit.
"Can't blame him."
Breakdown said.
"He just found out his sire is a cold hearted murderer who willingly killed his own friends."
"Anyone would be terrified."
Miko said, her voice losing its usual vigor after witnessing such a brutal murder.
Many people would be having nightmares about that now.
Nolan flinched.
He didn't know why, but Mark being scared of him, hurt him more than he expected.
Omni-Man looked saddened for a moment at that before he looked at him.
"We need to talk."
"And that's that."
Zero said as he stopped there.
"We'll let you guys calm down from that."
He said turning to them.
"Wha-NO!"
Ruby shouted at them, surprising him.
"You can't just leave it on a cliffhanger just like that!" She said. "We need to know why!"
"And you will." Tempest said. "But I think we should let everyone calm down and let certain people talk to certain others."
"...No."
Oscar shook his head at that.
"Even if you let them explain." He started. "It won't be the whole story. There's going to be missing pieces in it that they need to know now. Even...even if it's going to be painful to watch, they deserve to learn the whole truth before any conversation can take place. All the cards need to be laid on the table, so to speak."
"..."
"..."
"Oscar..."
Ruby said softly in surprise at the younger teen words tinted with wisdom.
"...I can see why you are the next reincarnation in the cycle."
Zero warmly smiles.
"Alright." He conceded. "You guys win. I'll continue it. But be warned."
"It will not be pretty."
He darkly said to the theater.
"...We might not be ready." Debbie said, though her composure was shaken, her resolve was firm. "But we need to know. We need to the truth."
She says as she looks at her husband with stern eyes.
Nolan did not meet hers.
"Perhaps, we can avoid that future and no one will have to die unnecessary deaths."
She finished.
"..."
Zero looks to the others who all nodded.
"Very well."
He said as he resumes the viewing.
"Prepare to learn the truth."
He says as the scene continues playing.
"Talk?"
Emily looks at one of the world greatest heroes.
"You want to talk? After we just saw you mercilessly killed Immortal?!"
"My counterpart isn't taking this to well."
Ethan said.
"Which is surprising if this is similar to our lives."
He added.
Her voice took on a hysterical edge in it.
"Yo-You killed them, didn't you?"
Helena glared at him.
"The Guardians...your own friends. That's why the Immortal tried to kill you."
"..."
The Guardians were silent. Because they very, very, extremely hurt that Nolan had betrayed and murdered them in cold blood.
20 years.
They had known him for 20 years, for some, for others it might have been shorter. Was it all a lie? A trick? A deception?
Was Nolan really pretending to be their friend for all this time? Waiting for the right moment to strike them down?
"...Yes."
Omni-Man looks to them.
"It was necessary." He continued. "Their deaths were necessary."
"NO!"
Mark yelled as he lunged at his father. Punching him square in the face.
"Nice punch."
Cassidy said.
"...Thanks?"
Mark said, shocked that he actually punched his father.
Grabbing him as they were flying.
!!!
"That idiot!"
Rachel shouted.
"Someone is controlling you!!"
Mark shouted.
"Forcing you to do this!"
"In denial, isn't he?"
Jaune said.
"Well, if your father suddenly shows his true colors after being the kind, noble and great dad that you've known for all your life is a murderer and actually killed his own friends. I would be in denial too."
Silver Wolf said.
"That's true."
He shouted once more.
"Tell me how to stop them, dad!"
"You can't stop the inevitable."
Killcode said.
Mark yelled at his father who just looks at him sadly.
"Mark..."
Omni-Man says as Mark yells and violently hits him.
"LET. MY. DAD. GO!!!"
Mark yelled as he tried hitting him to shake him out of his 'brainwashing' to no avail.
"I cannot believe that you betrayed us!"
War Woman yelled angrily at him.
"How could you!?"
Nolan said nothing.
"All that can be said."
Ei spoke up.
"That it is from years of indoctrination from his home world."
"..."
No one said anything else as they looked at the screen. Hoping to find some answers to this dark and horrible truth.
"Stop."
Omni-Man simply as he grabbed his son by the wrist and swung him back to where the Vanguardians where, as Mark stabilizes himself in the air.
"It's me, Mark."
Nolan said.
"Just me."
He said.
Mark gasps as he was forced into the unwanted realization that it was indeed his father doing this of his own free will.
Nolan looked at his bloodstained hands and outfit as he sighs.
"This isn't how I wanted to do th-"
*WHOOSH!!*
!!!
*BAM!!*
The people in the audience jumped at that.
"What the fuck was that!?"
Loona yelled.
"We're about to find out."
Serval said as she looked to the screen.
"GAH!"
Omni-Man shouts out in shock and surprise as he was violently slammed through the air.
"So, you finally shown your true colors!!"
A young man roared, voice full of anger and hate, as he charged at him.
!?!?
"B-B-BEN!?!?"
Alice shouted in shock as the Vanguardians watched in pure shock at Ben unexpected arrival.
(Benjamin Taurus)
(Tempest OC)
(He's also in this suit, the blue and black one)
!?
"Who the?!" "Where'd he come from?!" "Is that Omni-Man first son?!" "He's hot!" "Ara, Ara, such virility and vitality!"
"Holy shit!"
Knuckleduster shouted.
"Kid's brutal!"
"Brilliant deduction Einstein!"
PopStep deadpanned.
"He's hot."
Many girls admitted.
"BASTARD!" Ben roared. "MOTHERFUCKER! I'LL KILL YOU!!"
"Ben." Omni-Man said as Ben continued attacking him. "You need to calm down."
"Calm down?" Ben said incredulously as he started laughing. "Did you of all people tell me...TO CALM DOWN!?!?"
"Giving me Thor vibes."
Diego (Vanguardians) said.
???
"I've never spoke like that?"
Thor asked, befuddled at that comment.
"MCU Avengers Thor."
Diego responded.
"...That's real!?"
Loki shouted in disbelief as did several other Gods.
"...You do realize that you're in an entirely different universe, right?" Luka spoke up. "Obviously, it would exist in another universe."
...Damn that human for being right.
Ben roared as his strikes got stronger, Omni-Man feeling his blows as he grunted.
"You took everything from me!" Ben roared. "My family, my home, my planet...and for what?!"
*He slammed his fist into Omni-Man arms as he had put them in a guard pose to block his attack. The recoil sending shockwaves that nearly sent them flying.*
"Gah!" "Damn it, Ben!" "Ack!"
The Vanguardians managed to stand their ground as they watched Ben violently attacking Omni-Man.
"What the hell did Omni-man do to make his son hate him that much?!"
Robin yelled in shock.
"..."
"Where do I start?"
Zero pondered that question.
"..."
"That idiot!"
Rachel growled.
"Why do we love him again!?"
*Record scratch*
"Wait...WHAT?!?!?!"
The Vanguardians shouted in shock.
"Yeah, you heard her right." Tempest smirks. "Ben is dating the Vanguardians. They're his girls in that universe."
"That's unexpected."
Alice said.
"Is he a good lover at least?"
She asked.
"One of the best lovers you'll ever get."
Tempest smirk widens.
"He can satisfy all your urges and still be hungry for more."
O///O
Let's just say that many people were red in the face at that.
"I forgot." Emily shrugs as she frowns. "I know he had a grudge against Omni-Man. But I didn't know it was to this extent!"
"What did he do to make Ben hate him so much?"
Jasmine asked, slightly scared and aroused at Ben brutality.
"And they're a bunch of masochists."
Diego (Vanguardians) deadpanned.
"Of course. How unsurprising."
Joshua blushed at that as did the others.
"Hah! Fucking los-!!"
*ZAP!*
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"
"Ben..." Omni-Man looked sadly at him. "Even after a hundred years, you're still not seeing the big picture."
"THE BIG PICTURE!?" Ben yelled. "I'll show you the big picture after I cave your face in, FATHER!!!"
"And that confirms it."
Kirishima said.
?!?!?!?!?!?
"WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!?!?"
Rachel shouted.
"Fa-Father?"
Mark looked in shock.
"I...have a brother?"
"Nah, he's his failure of a clone."
Grace said.
"Of course, he's your brother silly."
"Well, excuse me for being shocked!" Mark yelled. "I'm just surprised that I have another sibling considering that my parents didn't want to give me a little brother or sister!"
"MARK!"
Debbie yells, face red with embarrassment. Nolan coughed awkwardly.
He said. He knew his father species lived for a very long time.
How long? He didn't know. So, it wasn't that far out of reach that his father could have a had a family before coming to Earth.
'But...why did he never tell mom and I?'
"I think the revelation that he has an older brother just erased what he just learned about his father...real self."
Qingyi said.
"Most likely."
Zhu Yuan nodded.
But then, he remembered what had just happened and he got an answer of some sort.
"Whoop! There it is boy!"
*Bonk*
"...Ow..."
His father was not as good as he had formerly believed, and he had a bad feeling of what happened between his newly found half-brother and their father.
"You killed everyone!" Ben shouted. "Mom! Adam! All of Remnant!"
!?!?!?
"Hold on...did he just say REMNANT!?!?"
Yang yelled.
"Yes..." Amagi said, looking at them. "He did. Ben was originally from Remnant...until it was destroyed by the Viltrum Empire."
!!
"Des...Destroyed?"
Nora said, fear in her eyes. A stark contrast to her usual self.
"...He said Adam..." Blake slowly said. "Was he...referring to...?"
"Adam Taurus?"
Ruan Mei finished that question.
"Yes."
!!!
"Wh-What?"
Adam looked at them in shock.
"In that world, Ben is your older brother." Ruan Mei said. "His kid brother to be exact. But unfortunately, you would never have the chance to grow up in that world because of the events that destroyed everything and left Ben as the sole remaining Remnantian alive."
"..."
So...even in another world, happiness was out of his reach as well.
He thought to himself.
Just when he thought a version of himself could have a shot of happiness...perhaps he was fated too never have it.
"But...why did he destroy Remnant?"
Qrow asked as Raven shook in terror.
She thought Salem was the only real threat in Remnant...she was WRONG.
"Remnant had nothing worth of value for the Viltrum Empire."
Palpatine said.
"And if it has nothing of worth or value...then it is of no use to them or to anybody else."
Palpatine cold voice cruelly told them.
What?
He was the Sith Lord and Emperor of a Galaxy. Just because he mellowed out doesn't mean he had regret. He didn't and he loved destroying people emotionally.
And telling them that they were basically worthless was a sweet taste to savor.
The Remnant group looked down in pain, despair and disbelief that they were weren't worth much to be kept alive.
!!!
"Wh-What?"
Mark said in pure horror.
"He...what?"
Jasmine gasped as she covers her mouth as Ben continued talking.
"It was necessary, Ben." Omni-Man said as Ben continued punching. "They had their chance and proved that their planet had nothing to offer."
"Something tells me that you didn't even bother looking to see what they really had to offer."
Megumi said stoically.
"NOTHING TO OFFER!?"
Ben shouted.
"You had me! You had Adam! You had mom!" Ben shouted. "And you're telling me that there was nothing to offer!?"
"in the eyes of a species that lives for an extremely long time..."
Jing Yuan sighed.
"Such bonds with a short lived species is both beautiful and painful."
Those of the Xianzhou fleets couldn't help but nod at that.
It was enjoyable, yet painful to forge bonds with those who will die in the blink of an eye while you would live practically forever.
However, his words got the Viltrumites attention.
"You're a long lived species as well?"
Anissa asked, interested as were the others.
"Indeed we are." Jing Yuan said. "The Xianzhou Alliance residents are long lived species under the protection of Lan: The Aeon of the Hunt."
!?
Why did that sound chilling?
He shouted as he threw a punch that would kill a lesser man.
"Geez...he's got some anger issues."
Miko said.
"Well, considering that his dad killed everyone he loved." March 7th said. "I can see why he holds such anger in his heart."
"Since when were you so wise to reading other people emotions?"
Dan Heng asked her.
"Hey!"
*WHOOSH*
Only...
*BOOM*
For Omni-Man to catch it with his hand, holding it as he looks at his son with pity and sadness.
"Even after a century of living, you still don't understand our sworn duty."
"There's a difference between following one Duty and mindlessly slaughtering those that don't stand with you and oppose you."
Optimus Prime glared at them.
The Viltrumites did not know why, but when Optimus Prime stared at them...it looked an alternate version of him was staring down at them with frightening eyes and a terrifying aura.
One that liked to rip people face/heads off.
Omni-Man said as he held his son fist tight in his grip. Ben trying to break free to no avail much to his shock.
"LET. ME. GO!!"
Ben roared.
"Okay..."
And Omni-Man did...and Ben ended up kissing the ground because he had been furiously trying to break of his father grasp. And to be let go so suddenly and unexpectedly did not give him enough to stop himself from hitting the ground.
"That's gotta hurt."
Denji and Power said.
"For real."
Eve said.
"Ben!"
The girls shouted as they helped him up.
"Are you okay?"
Jasmine asked him.
"...I'm fine..."
"Yes."
Loona deadpanned.
"Perfectly fine."
...
He grunted as he looked up at his father and half-brother.
*Sigh*
Omni-Man sighed.
"This truly isn't how I had planned this conversation to go..."
"Yeah, well that's life."
Anis said.
"Nothing goes as planned."
"You'd be the expert, wouldn't you?"
Eunhwa sarcastically said.
"Why you!"
Omni-Man said as he started explaining.
"But now I have no choice. It's true that I am from the planet Viltrum."
The scene changes to see Viltrum itself.
"Wow!"
Some of the kids said.
"It's so beautiful!" "So pretty!" "It's nice." "Not bad, I guess."
"I suddenly remember a human saying."
Arcee suddenly said.
"That beauty is only skin-deep. Hmmm...I wonder why that thought comes to mind now?"
"..."
Good question.
"But it's not the planet I told you about in my stories."
"...What?"
Mark said as he, Debbie, Cecil, and the Guardians looked at him in shock and disbelief.
"There's your answer, Arcee."
Ratchet said.
"He had omitted some important facts to his story."
"That's for sure."
Ben growled as he slowly floated up to them.
"What is his problem?"
Rachel groans at the stubborn male.
"We have created a perfect civilization..."
"Perfect? What a load of lies."
The Hero Killer Stain spat out.
"No civilization is truly 'perfect'. Just rotten from the inside out where everyone sees their actions and causes as 'noble goodness'."
"It's certainly quite a boast."
General Jing Yuan agreed.
"I'll say."
Fu Xuan agreed.
"It's rather pathetic."
Madam Herta scoffed. Unimpressed by the words: Perfect Civilization.
It was big talk and eventually that big talk will burn down in flames.
The Viltrumites twitched at their dismissal and criticism of their empire. That took countless battles, countless deaths to perfect. So many lives lost in order to build their perfect empire.
He said as the scene now showed Viltrum civilization.
"Huh." "Not bad." "It is advanced." "It kind of reminds me of Cybertron."
"...But it took all of our strength."
Nolan continued.
"All of our courage, all of our determination to get there."
Suddenly a building exploded as a male Viltrimute was sent flying.
The audience jumped at that.
"What the hell!?"
Vaggie shouted.
"In order for our people to reach our full potential, we had to remove the weak from our society."
As he said this, scenes started appearing as Viltrimutes against each other. Mercilessly killing their own kin in a bloody struggle that only the strongest of the strong would survive.
"OH MY GOD!!"
Charlie shouted as she covered her mouth in shock.
"How...how could they do this!?"
"Damn!" Dystopian whistled. "And I thought I was bad!"
"Survival of the Fittest."
Mydei said.
"That's what's going on here."
"Indeed, it is."
Gilgamesh said, sipping his wine.
!?!?
'There's two of them!?!?'
Archer and Lancer thought to themselves as they started ascending back to the afterlife.
"Oh, no you don't!"
Zero increased the gravity around the two and slamming them back to the theater.
"OW!"
"Mo...Monsters..."
Mineta stammered.
The BNHA verse classes looking in pure shock and horror, even Bakugou lost his cocky grin at just how brutal this was.
"No..." Mark said in denial. "No, no no no nO NO! Dad! Please tell me this isn't true!"
"This is our legacy and what we must uphold and honor, Mark."
Nolan said.
"That's horrible!"
"It's our history and we are proud of it."
Anissa calmly spoke.
"You will understand it one day."
Thragg said.
"By the Allspark..."
Starscream said.
"This is..."
"Horriying."
Bulkhead said.
"And I thought our war was bad."
Knockout said.
"But at least ours had a bigger purpose than this. This is just mindless slaughtering!"
"They're killing each other."
Stelle said.
"Just to prove who is the strongest to lead."
Caelus finished.
"How horrible."
Belle said.
"And I thought I was crazy."
Scar said.
"And here I thought I was the monster."
Sukuna said.
"They make Afton look like a saint."
Cassidy said.
"..."
Ruby was in shock at the brutal scene she was seeing. This was nothing like what happened back home.
"Monsters..."
She said in terror.
"Fucking monsters."
Ethan growled as he and the Vanguardians looked murderous.
"To kill each other." Grace (Vanguardians) shook her head. "How much slaughter are they going to go before they're satisfied?"
"It was a long and grueling battle."
He continued.
"When the battle was finally over, our population was cut in half."
"How did they even know that their population was now half?"
Hatsume Mei asked.
"You got me."
Ellen Joe said.
Omni-Man said as piles of dead Viltrumite bodies could be seen.
"How horrible."
Weiss said feeling sick.
'...And here we were bemoaning the fact that Salem was immortal and that everything was pointless.' She thought to herself. 'But these aliens were willing to kill each other in order to create their 'prefect utopia.'
While she couldn't speak for the others, she knew that she owed both Ozpin and Oscar an apology after this.
She was now starting to feel small and insignificant when you compare Remnant to the rest of the universe. Their problems felt tiny.
"And I thought the humans up on earth were bad!"
Blitzo said.
"This is just insane!"
"It's humans but amplified it by 100x worse."
Millie said.
Kotomine just kept his usual psychotic smirk.
'Survival of the fittest indeed.'
He thought to himself.
"But what emerged from the ashes was unstoppable."
He said as the survivors of the this...purge stood triumphantly.
'Yeah...unstoppable.' Ben mentally scoffed as he floated by Mark side. 'Tell that to the Viltrumites that I've killed since that day.'
!?
"He killed his own people?!"
Anissa shouted in shock.
'Would they be considered his people if he knows the truth about them?'
Diego thought to himself.
'I mean, they destroyed his planet, killed everyone he loves and wiped the populations to extinction. Not even the children were spared.'
'Why would he consider them his people when to him, they are nothing more than murderers?'
The gods were right, this doctrine of theirs really has warped their mindsets into thinking this was normal and right.
"By the time I was born, Viltrum was the greatest empire in our galaxy."
'And it will stay that way.'
Thragg thought to himself.
"We decided to make it the ONLY empire in our galaxy."
A scene shows a younger Omni-Man and his fellow Viltrumites.
"Once I was old enough, I joined the war effort." He continued his tale. "It was hard, but I believe in our cause."
He said as the screen zooms out to show them invading a planet.
"Hey." Monster Girl spoke up. "Don't they look like..."
They all turned to see Allen looking at the screen, somberly as he laid his eye on the planet of his people.
"Like me?" Allen said. "Yeah, my species, the Unopans, were one of the species that were nearly wiped out by the Viltrum Empire after we refused their offer, well demand, to join the Viltrum Empire."
"My race was nearly driven to extinction."
"That's horrible!"
Yang yelled.
"I'm sorry." Blake said. "I can't imagine what you had to see back then."
"Huh? Oh, don't be." Allen said. "I wasn't born around that time."
"Really?"
Sakura asked.
"Yeah, names Allen by the way, but my people had to set up breeding camps to repopulate our species." Allen explained. "I never had to go through the pain of losing my home planet. However, I don't even know my own father because of being born in one of those camps. Now, I work for the Coalition of Planets to help the galaxy resist the Viltrum Empire."
"That's horrible."
Alice said.
She felt for him, she did understand to some extent about losing your planet.
*SLAP!!!*
People jumped as they turned to see Debbie slapping Nolan.
"LIAR!" Debbie shouted as tears started to form in her eyes. "Was everything you told me a lie!? Was what we had a lie!?"
"..."
Nolan turned away, as much as he wanted to explain, he knew Debbie was too hurt to accept that he truly did care for her and Mark. But it would sound just like excuses at the moment.
Cecil didn't show it, but he was truly hurt as well. He trusted Nolan, hell! The whole world trusted him...only for it to be a lie.
"Some species resisted, of course, such is the way of some worlds." Nolan said, causing Ben to twitch because his home planet had been one of them. "But no one could withstand us for long."
"How awful..."
Helena said, taking a step back as Alice flinched.
She was remembering Uvos and the circumstances that forced her to flee.
He said as an image of him could be seen along with his fellow Viltrimutes over the carnage and massacre they have wrought upon the inhabitants.
"This is horrible..."
Dupli-Kate said.
"Soon our empire encompasses thousands of planets." Nolan said. "But as our empire grew, our forces started to get stretched thin and we had no choice but to stop our expansion until a solution was found."
"We soon realized that we needed a more better and efficient to conquer planets. Our most trusted officers were given the great honor of going to a selected planet and weakening its defenses before being brought into the Viltrum Empire. I was one of those lucky few."
"...Lucky?"
Emily just laughed in disbelief.
"Talk about bad luck."
She said to herself as Nolan continued.
"My first mission began 100 years ago." Nolan said. "On the planet of Remnant."
The RWBY cast leaned forward.
Now things were getting interesting.
"I had posed as a lost traveler and was lucky enough to run into a beautiful faunus woman. Alicia Taurus."
"Mother."
Ben said somberly.
"Yes." Nolan said. "I made a series of missteps as I was trying to keep it on the down low that I was an alien but it was obvious to her, so I had no choice but to tell her the truth..."
"Yeah, right."
Ben interrupted.
"Well half of it." Nolan said. "Afterwards, she introduced me to Ozpin and the others and then I would go on to become a Huntsman. Later on, Alicia and I would get married and then you were born into the world Ben. And later on, Adam would soon be born."
"I..." A scene flashes of Nolan with his family. "I couldn't tell her the true reason I was here. And the then the day came."
"Judgement day."
Tokoyami said.
"The day you betrayed us all and destroyed my home!"
Ben snarled.
"Yes." Nolan said. "We gave them the chance to surrender peacefully and benefit from joining our empire, but they refused. It was bad enough that there was nothing of worth on that dustball of a planet. Their 'Dust' was so woefully pathetic and insignificant. It offered no benefit."
Weiss and Winter winced at that. Being the daughters of the Schnee family bloodline that owned the biggest Dust company on Remnant. It hurt them at how their most precious resource was worth nothing in their eyes.
Sure they hated their father for what he has done to both the company and their name. But they still had their pride after all.
"Geez." Nicole winced. "Talk about adding salt into a wound."
"You ain't seen the half of it."
Demo said.
"Brutal." Anby said. "Words can really hurt."
"That's for sure."
Maki agreed.
"So, we did the universe a favor and made it uninhabited by annihilating the entire population."
Nolan said, arms crossed.
"They were pathetic in their attempts to resist." Nolan said. "There was no contest there. And hey, I helped fulfill my promise to Ozpin in the end. Salem is gone. Permanently."
!?!?!?!?
"WHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!??!!?"
Were the expected screams and shouts of disbelief.
"Salem gone?!" "She's dead!?" "Impossible!!" "The goddess cannot die!" "NOOOO!"
'Drama queens.'
Zero mentally deadpanned as they learned that Salem wasn't unstoppable after all.
"And Ben?" Mark asked. "Why is Ben still here then?"
He asked, a faint glimmer of hope inside him hoping that perhaps his father wasn't a complete monster.
"Poor guy." Diesel shook her head. "He's really trying to grasp at straws here."
"He wants to hope that there is some good in his father." Brid said. "That he's not a complete monster."
"He threw me into a Grimm Leviathan and thought I had died from it."
Ben growled, shattering whatever hope was left.
"What a monster." Emily growled. "He almost makes my father look like a saint."
"That's for sure."
Ethan frowned.
Causing his sister and teammates to look at him in worry.
"I took some time off for that as we decided to do more research into planets with potential and after a hundred years I was sent once more to a new planet."
"Earth."
Jasmine realized.
"Learning from my experiences on Remnant it was much easier to integrate into Earth society."
He said as the scene changes to a young Mark riding a bike with Debbie and Nolan watching.
"I couldn't tell your mother why I was here..."
"I wouldn't have reacted that nicely if I knew you were here to force our planet into joining your empire!"
Debbie shouted, hurt in her voice as Nolan flinched at that.
"But that time has now ended." He said looking away from them. "And now, we need to get Earth ready to join the Viltrum Empire."
"Hell no!" "Not gonna happen!" "You can try!"
"Over my dead body!"
Ben snarled as Mark looked at him in shock as tears started falling down his face from this betrayal.
Omni-Man looks at him.
"Mark, this is good news." He said as he tried to calm his sons down. "We can finally do what we were meant to do."
"By becoming killers?!"
Yanqing and Sushang shouted.
"I would rather swear loyalty to the Aeon of Abundance: Yaoshi!"
"Become murderers, you mean!?"
Ben yelled.
"And how many of our fellow Viltrumites have you killed?" Nolan said. "You kill a killer doesn't make you not a killer, Ben. You're a murderer too, if you want to put it that way."
"That's true...but he wouldn't have been one if you hadn't forced him onto that path."
Robin pointed out.
"I only kill them because they deserve it for all the suffering you have all put me and countless others through!"
Ben yelled.
"You cannot deny the blood coursing through your veins, Ben."
"Maybe so."
Dabi growls.
"But that doesn't mean he has to do what 'daddy dearest' says is good for him in his delusional mind."
Endeavor did not know why, but he felt that jab was also directed at him.
But why?
'Have I met him before?'
Enji thought to himself as he takes a look at him.
...Endeavor realized that Dabi seemed strangely familiar to him.
Omni-Man sternly said.
"He really is cold hearted."
Rachel said as she and the others tense.
They could tell this was going to get ugly.
"Understatement of the century."
Breakdown said.
"I just hope the world does not get destroyed in the process."
Yuji said, causing many to shudder at that point.
"Please don't jinx us, Itadori."
Nobara said.
"...You lied to me..."
Mark said.
"All this time..."
"Mark, you weren't ready for the truth to be known." Nolan said. "I couldn't tell you just yet, not until I was sure you had your powers. Not until I was sure you were ready."
"...Sure?" Mark looked at him. "Sure of what?"
"Sure that you were a Viltumite."
He said as he tried to place a hand on him.
"...Uh, he is?"
Shirou said.
"I mean he has a Viltrumite dad and a human mom. I'm pretty sure he has alien DNA in him."
"That might just be the smartest thing you have ever said."
Rin deadpanned.
"...Rude..."
Shirou pouted.
"But he still has a point."
Rover pointed out.
"Yep."
Seele said.
"Are you kidding me?" Mark said as he pushed him away. "And if I wasn't? Does that mean I would have been another human to conquer?"
"I did have faith that you were a Viltrumite." Omni-Man said. "Ben is one as well."
"No." Mark said as he tried to process this. "No, this doesn't make any sense."
He said as Ben floated to his side and grabbed him in a hug. His big brother instincts flaring up. He understood, he was the same when he learned the dark truth about their father.
"AWWWW! How sweet!"
Several of the goddesses (both divine and Nikke) cooed at the scene.
*Ben (Viltrumite) Earth*
"I feel like I just lost some manliness points."
Ben suddenly said.
"You never had any."
Someone mischievously said.
"WHY YOU!!"
"Catch me if you can!"
*Back to our regular scheduled broadcast*
'Huh, I feel amused for reason.'
Tempest thought to himself.
'AWWWWW!!'
The Vanguardians thought to themselves.
'So cute...perfect blackmail material!'
"Diabolical!"
Nihilister laughed.
Even Omni-Man smiled warmly for a sec before resuming his stoic composure as Mark looked at him and flew up to him.
"You love me!" He pointed a finger at him. "You love mom! And I know you love Ben and your previous family! Don't try to deny that!"
"No matter how hard you try to deny it."
Seraphim smirks.
"You can't deny the real truth that you keep hidden in your heart.
"..."
Nolan turns away from that.
Knowing that despite what he wanted to think...what the Divine Being said was true.
"Mark..."
Ben said as Nolan looked away for a moment.
"Do you have any idea how long we can live?"
"What?"
Mark said.
"Our lifespans are incredibly long. I don't even know how long. The older we get, the slower we age."
"That's nice."
Phrolova said, not really caring.
He explained.
"Viltrumite DNA is so pure that you're nearly a full-blooded Viltrumite yourself. The both of you."
"..."
"Really?" Shockwave looked intrigued at that. "That is an interesting biology, one parent DNA is so powerful that it nearly erases the other half of the other parent DNA."
"I'm...barely human?"
Mark said quietly.
*Wrap*
???
"There, there." Charlie said softly as she hugged the poor boy. "I can't say that everything will be fine, but I can give you a shoulder to lean on for support."
"...Thanks."
He gratefully said.
"HOW PA-!!"
*WHACK!!*
"Shut up!"
Grace hit Homelander on the face.
"How dare-!?"
*GRIP*
!!!
"GACK!"
Homelander choked as Grace had her hand in a fist, clenching it as Homelander struggled for air.
"I said: Shut. Up."
She said as she swung her arm.
*BAM!!*
"HOMELANDER!!"
And threw Homelander into a wall.
"What a sniveling little worm." Grace hissed. "Acting like he's the biggest and baddest bastard on the block. Derek was a real threat than he ever will be."
???
Hold on what?
"Grace..." Ethan said slowly with worry in his eyes. "What did you mean by-?"
"Show's starting."
Grace said.
"Don't ignore me Gr-!!!"
"You'll live for thousands of years." Nolan said. "Do you understand what that means? You'll outlive everyone before you even hit 30. This is not a fate I want for you."
He said.
"You don't belong here. It's not your world. It's theirs."
"Not my world?!" Mark stood and yelled at his father. "I was born there! I grew up there! It's where you met mom! It's just as much of my world as it is theirs! The world I don't belong in is your world, dad! Viltrum, not Earth!"
He shouted at him.
"Yeah." "That's right." "You don't have to be human to belong with us." "What difference does it make that he's not completely human!"
Many people shouted in Mark defense as Nolan looked impassively.
Internally, he was having doubts of his own about his mission.
He never thought that being a father would make things so difficult for him to decide.
"But we can help them." Nolan said. "We can stop the wars once and for all, end hunger, give them medical technology centuries ahead of their time."
"But that destroys what humans represent."
Yangyang said.
"Being given all these wonderous gifts basically for free undermines the potential we have for creation, ingenuity, innovation. Being given basically all that on a silver platter makes us incapable of doing things for ourselves."
"..."
"..."
"We've already been doing that." Mark said. "We're not the only heroes on Earth."
"But we are the ones that will do what needs to be done." Nolan said. "Other heroes refuse to kill because of their so called moral code. Well, what good has it done for them? All they do is let them live and gives them a chance to escape and cause more harm."
"Alright." Kismet spoke up. "That is obviously one of the best points he has made so far."
"Probably the only one."
Mortefi deadpanned.
"Oi."
Nolan said annoyed.
...Yeah, Ben and the Vanguardians hated to say that, but he had a point.
...Probably the only good one so far.
"HEY!"
This time he shouted.
"But that can all end, if we can welcome Earth into our empire."
"Take it from an Emperor."
Palpatine spoke up.
"Resistance will always happened. You might be strong now, but eventually your weaknesses will be found and exploited and used against you."
"That will never happen."
Conquest coldly told him.
"..."
*ZAP!!*
"ARRGGH!!"
The Viltrum Viltrumites screamed in extreme as Palpatine unleashed Force Lightning on them. Causing them great pain as they felt like they were dying before he finally stopped.
Cackling as he loomed over them.
"If only you understood where you truly stand, then you would understand just how fragile you and your empire are."
"..."
"I do love your mom." Nolan said. "But she's more like a..."
"...Is he seriously trying to go that route?"
Kismet deadpanned.
"It sounds like he's trying to lie to himself."
Diego groans.
"Trying to convince himself that he loves her differently?"
Liz asked.
"Yeah."
"Why?"
Chixia asked.
"Because he wants to appear strong and like it's not bothering him what he's about to do to the planet."
Yangyang said.
"...A pet to me."
!!!
"WHAT!?"
*SMACK*
Nolan facepalmed himself at his counterpart poor choice of words.
'Really!?' He thought to himself. 'A pet? That's entering levels of degeneracy that I'm not into!'
Debbie looked hurt but seeing her husband facepalm himself seemed to ease it up a bit.
"A pet? Is he that kinky?"
Yuji asked.
"How should we know idiot!?"
Nobara hit him on the head.
"Fuck my life."
"...What did you just say?"
Mark said as Ben looked apocalyptic.
"A PET?"
Ben calmly asked.
"Was my mother a pet to you as well?" HE asked. "Was my little brother a pet to you as well?"
"Not gonna lie."
Blitzo spoke up.
"I'm literally just imaging him having them all on a leash as he takes them out for a walk."
"..."
*BAM*
"ACK!"
"This is the only way, you two."
Omni-Man said, putting a hand on them.
"ARE YOU AN IDIOT?!"
Lucy yelled at him.
"You just practically called their moms a pet and you think they're just going to accept it just like that!?"
"Take it easy, Lucy."
Caesar said.
"NO, I WILL NOT!"
"Eh, I tried."
"...He's avoiding the subject."
Grace (Vanguardian) said as she crossed her arms.
"He's not being entirely truthful."
"Get away from us!" Mark yelled as he flew back. "This is insane!"
"What else is new?"
Denji said.
"Well..."
Scar spoke up.
"I was being sarcastic."
"I know."
"Calm down, Mark."
Omni-Man said.
"No, I WILL NOT!"
...
"Fuck you all."
Lucy said, blushing as did Mark because they basically said the same thing, just differently.
Mark yelled as he looked at him.
"Did you seriously think that was going to happen?!" He asked him. "That I was going to go and enslave my friends and my planet for a bunch of aliens that I've never met!?"
"Only a fool that seeks validation would do that."
Zani coldly said.
"This is my life!" Mark yelled at him. "These are my people!"
"That's right Mark!"
Belle cheered.
"Stick it to the man!"
"Er...I will?"
Mark said.
"We have a duty to the Viltrum-"
"Forget about that fucking empire/I don't give a shit about Viltrum."
Ben and Mark told him.
"I don't care if I'm cursed to live for a million years! This is my home!" Mark yelled. "And I won't let you destroy it!"
"That a boy!"
Kojiro Sasaki said with a big smile.
"You definitely have a backbone!"
"He has the markings of a great warrior."
Lü Bu remarked.
!?
"Wait." Ares blinked. "Who are these humans?"
He points to them.
"These are the chosen heroes who will fight you in Ragnarök to decide the fate of humanity."
Theresa softly said.
"So...these are your champions, Brunhilde."
Heracles says, impressed.
"You certainly picked out some good ones."
"Thanks, Heracles..."
"You don't what you are saying." Omni-Man narrowed his eyes. "And I can't let either of you interfere."
Mark wiped away the last of his tears as he said.
"I know exactly what I'm saying. And I won't let you do this."
"Heh." Ben smirks as he floated next to him. "And neither will I."
Omni-Man looks at them with stern, disappointed eyes before closing them.
"So be it." He said. "You leave me with no other choice."
!!
"The air has gotten tensed."
Koichi said.
"Yeah..."
Neon gulped.
"This is getting interesting."
Cu said.
"Brunhilde..."
Goll shook like a leaf.
"Just a bit of a major warning."
Zero suddenly said.
"This is going to get VERY UGLY, VERY FAST."
...
*GULP!!!*
They all gulped but didn't move as all eyes were on the screen.
But they weren't prepared for what was to come.
Done.
...OW...
Have a good day/night.
