The Heroes now flew into the Multi-Realm, the center of the Multiverse. They were amazed by its beauty.

"The Multi-Realm... the center of the Multiverse. It's beautiful." Markus said.

"So the sword is hidden here, right?" Donkey Kong asked.

"Yep. I'm guess it's that glowing point at that temple." Knuckles said as he points to a floating temple near some mountains.

"Then let's go!" Mario said.

Just as they are running towards the mountains, a giant colossal monster swims towards them hungry.

"LOOK OUT!!!" Luigi screamed.

Everyone tries to run faster only to get knocked away into separate areas of the realm.

"What just happen?" Wolf said.

"It seems we got separated by the monster." Green Arrow said.

"So now what?" Supergirl asked.

"I say we continue our path towards the temple. The others will as well." Flash said.

"Then let's get a move on." Shark said.

As the Ninja make their way to the temple from jumping to tree to tree, they pass an Earth Titan.

"Whoa! An Earth Titan! I've remember reading about them from Master Wu's scrolls. They were Earth Elemental Masters' temple guards." Cole explained as they pass the Titan.

"Hey, you think this guy could give us a lift to the temple?" Kai asked.

"How would we do that?" Cole asked.

"You! Cole, your powers are connected to that titan. You should be able to reason with it. Duh!" Jay said.

Cole then focused on his power as he tries to connect with the Titan. The Earth Titan looks at Cole as he senses a connection by their powers. It knees at them and growls a purr around Cole.

"I... I can feel his thoughts. Rocknok can take us to the temple." Cole said.

"Rocknok?" Zane said.

"Yeah, that's his name. He can take us to the sword." Cole said.

"Nice work, Cole." Nya said.

"Then let's go." Lloyd said as they all hop on the titan's body and Rocknok takes them to the temple.

As for the Rebels, they were now in a realm with doorways to different universes. A portal opened to reveal the Flash running through the streets of Central City.

The Rebels were amazed as they saw the Flash running into battle against Despero. As Flash ran off, his lightning knocked them into Earth-2. As they get up, Stargirl appeared with her Cosmic Staff.

"Hello? Who's there?" Stargirl asked.

"Ummm... where are we?" Ezra asked.

"You're in BlueValley, Nebraska." Stargirl said.

"Nebraska? Earth... right." Zeb said.

"Do you guys need help?" Stargirl asked.

"I..." Ezra said as they all got teleported away from Stargirl back to the Multi-Realm. They look around as another portal opens up from Earth-19.

They then saw Swamp Thing look at them and growl as the portal closes again.

"GET DOWN!!!"

They look up to see Shazam flying in battle against Dr. Sivana in the air.

"Whoa..." Sabine said as they see so many realities.

Another pocket portal opened to reveal Grant Morrison in his study when he sees the Rebels.

"I can see you. Do you see me?" Grant Morrison asked before the portal closed.

Ezra waves goodbye as they soon heard multiple voices in their heads.

"Party's over you pieces of shit!" Harley Quinn said followed by the Joker laughs.

"Your fate is utterly binding." Doctor Fate said to Superman.

"You were brought here for a reason." John said to Clark.

"In Brightest Day, in Blackest Night, Green Lantern's Light is mine to command!" Jim said in a universe where he's a Green Lantern.

"For Azeroth!" Varok Saurfang roars.

"Citizens of Gotham City, this is the Joker!" Joker said. The voices kept getting louder as the Rebels try to block them out.

"Rebels..."

They turn around to see another portal with a black muscular Tauren giving them a compassionate look. It was Emberthal Ebyssian, son of Neltharion of the Black Dragonflight. His eyes glow bright yellow.

"Trust not only in the Force, but all Four Cosmic Forces. Connect with them. Feel their power." Emberthal Ebyssian said as the portal closes.

Ezra and Kanan then began to focus on the four Forces as they feel their power flow through them and guides them to the sword.

"Hang on tight guys cuz we're about to go fast." Ezra said as he grabs onto Zeb and Sabine and runs off.

"Here we go." Kanan said as he grabs in Hera and Chopper.
   ________________________________
As Blinky was separated from the Trollhunters, he encountered a monster version of Jim's father, James Lake Sr.

"Reveal yourself, monster." James Sr said.

Blinky took a deep breath but unzipped the coat, pushed back the hood, and took it off, discarding it to the side. James Sr recoiled slightly, eyes widening as he took in the four-armed and six-eyed creature before him - though if anyone more familiar with Blinky had been around they would've noticed a few things that were different from normal. On Blinky's lower wrists were a set of bronze cuffs etched with Trollish runes. On his left upper hand were three rings each of a different material and with different gemstones set in them, and on his right upper hand was a band wrapping around his palm and looking frosted over. And hanging from the waist of his suspenders were three glowing crystals much akin to the ones Vendel often carried with him.

*BANG!*

It was likely that James Sr hasn't intended to fire the gun. Between the shaking of his hand and the tension in his entire body there was a high chance of it being an accidental discharge. But the moment Blinky saw his arm tightening he was acting in response, left upper hands quickly raising and one of the rings sparking as a barrier of pure magical energy deflected the bullet. It buried into the drywall.

Blinky panted as he ducked behind a large chunk of ice he'd formed at act as a barrier; perhaps not quite the intended purpose of the Band, but very useful. He'd had to make several such barriers as James Sr had pulled out a second clip, then a third. Jim had been right about his father; James was a marksman. He never rushed his shots, moving for better angles and using the barriers as well for his own protection.
With a grim expression the scholarly Troll looked down at his waist. Two crystals were dim, their power spent. He sighed and touched the third, and felt it's power bleed into him, closing a few minor nicks he'd taken, easing the ache from a twisted ankle, and giving refreshed strength. One more shot landing home, and things would turn dire. Suddenly there was a loud commotion from outside as well as a bellowing roar that Blinky recognized all to well.

Draal!

"Ahh!" James Sr monster laughed as he clicked yet another clip into his pistol - how many did he have?! - and darted around for another shot that took a chunk front the ice barrier.

"Looks like your valiant leader had arrived! I look forward to meeting the Trollhunter!" He said.

A sudden, heart-stopping thought hit Blinky like one of Draal's fists: what would James Sr do if he found out Jim was the Trollhunter?

Would he shoot his own son, kill him?

"Worry less about the Trollhunter!" yelled Blinky as he made a dash to another barrier, baiting James Sr to make a shot unprepared. The human was grazed by a frozen shard, but Blinky cried out as he felt a nick clip his leg, a hairline scratch he could do nothing about. "Your fight is with me!"

"As you wish!"

*BLAM BLAM BLAM!*

The emptiness of the rooms helped him a bit, as he was able to hear both Blinky and James Sr's voices, but they bounced and echoes horribly, distorting so he couldn't easily pinpoint direction even after he got clear of the hole he'd made and the sounds from outside were muffled. Blinkous is battling a monster version of Jim's father as he uses Ice Glyphs to fight back.

A part of him thought to call out, but he doubted anyone would be able to hear him over the sounds of combat. At least he was able to guess they were somewhere below him. Now all he had to do was find a way down!

"Before I kill you I want to know: what did you do to turn Jim against his own kind?"

Blinky scowled at the question, though he managed to keep a grip on himself to not take it for the bait it possibly was and show himself.

"I already answered that," he retorted, " I have done nothing to him!"

"But you admit to knowing him?" The Troll caught sight of James' shadow moving towards his left suddenly and raised a barrier to the last second, though it taxed the magic to the point that one of the previous barriers shattered.

"Yes, I do." Blinky threw a volley of icy shards to keep James Sr at bay while he moved to a new location.

"I cannot think of anything that could convince Jim to side with monsters like you! I know him!" Jim Sr monster said.

"Oh do you?" Blinky's normally calm voice was almost a snarl of anger, his tolerance of the man exhausting at last.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Ten years! You up and abandoned them ten years
ago!" Blinkous shouts.

Another hail of ice, another rapid shot.

"Do you even understand how that affected him? Ten birthdays! The Christmases! Ten summer vacations and ten first days at school! Three thousand, six hundred, fifty days of you not being there right when he may have needed you!" Blinky shouts.

This time the ball of ice, missing by a centimeter, thudded straight through the dirt wall and buried at least a foot deep.

"And you were never there! He learned to take care of himself, take care of his mother, long before he should have! Oh, there is a monster in this dirt hole, but it isn't me!" Blinky scolded.

Jim flinched, jerking his armored hands up to cover his ears as he caught Blinky's impassioned scolding and the furious gunfire retort, far more wild than he'd ever heard even in a movie or video game!

'Spray and pray' didn't even begin to describe it and for a heart-stopping moment the teen wondered if the elder Monster had a semiautomatic at his disposal!

"How dare you!" James Sr monster screamed, and by the near- manic tone Blinky was absolutely certain the man had lost his mind. "How dare you lecture me about my actions towards my son!"

"Hah! Your son? You have no right to claim that
relationship, or any kinship with him! You are nothing more than half the biological equation, thankfully a half that never rears its head!" Blinkous shot back.

Another four wild shots, then a pause. If Jim have counted correctly he should have to reload now!

"Okay, I'll humor you. If I am so unworthy to call James Lake Junior, who carries my name, my son, to say that I am his father, then who is? You?"

Behind his barrier, Blinky smiled, and his reply was
heard loud and clear.

"If Master Jim were to ever considered me worthy of
such a mantle I would happily accept it for the honor it is, and bear it with pride for the rest of my days - and even if not I will still willingly guide him, stand by him, and defend him like he was my own son!"

"then who is? You?"

Jim felt like time inched to a crawl.

"like he was my own son!"

All of existence narrowed to a single point, and Jim
was frozen in it. In his mind he replayed all the time he spent with Blinky - training, studying, hearing Blinky constantly encouraging and cheering for him, building the Vespa together and maintaining it together- and he even heard Mr Strickler's mocking words as they'd fought in his house:

"I know you look to Blinky as a surrogate father!"

And Blinky... looked at him like a son!

Jim blinked, and time moved again.

A clattering, and a clip skittered across the dirt! In his haste to reload James Sr had kicked it!

Blinky saw the error and even as the man was dashing to get it was making a move of his own, arm flinging a sharp shard of ice towards the man's legs.

From his vantage point, Jim saw it a split second before it happened, and again time seemed to slow. James Sr twisted, bringing his gun around and taking aim. There was a bang, the sound of puncturing flesh, and two screams, one human, one Troll.

Blinky hadn't seen the trick for what it was until it was far too late. James Sr had baited him out with the feint for the clip, when in truth he had bullets remaining in his pistol. The Troll had miscounted, and it cost him badly. Pain bloomed in his shoulder, the impact knocking him off-balance and sending him to the ground.

He heard himself scream, though it was almost like he was an outside observer watching himself fall.

Across from him his throw had landed true, however, and James Sr screamed as well, the icicle dug deep into his thigh just above his knee. Crimson stained the dark slacks and started puddling on the ground, while on the other side blue-black began pooling beneath the prone scholar.

Cringing, wondering if the chill he felt was from shock or the ice barrier he'd landed next to, Blinky pushed himself up on his lower elbows, clutching at his wounded shoulder and numb arm with his other upper hand.

And found himself facing James Sr, standing unsteadily on one leg and leaning against one of the barriers, gun pointed at his prone opponent.

"Too – too bad," he got out through clenched teeth, "you didn't count my shots. I had two left, now one."

He brought up the weapon and took aim, and Blinky knew he wouldn't be able to do anything to defend himself; he simply couldn't concentrate! "You – you should've aimed higher. Hit my femoral artery."

"That's – where we – are different," replied Blinky, letting his eyes close. He had failed, and now not only would James Sr likely try to present his body to Master Jim – what would that sight do to the boy he didn't want to contemplate – but his people would continue to hunt and harm Trolls. Silently he said farewell to his dear friends and apologized for leaving them like this.

"How – are we different?" James Sr. said.

"I – never came here – intending to kill you." Blinkous said.

James Sr just growled and raised the gun, finger tightening on the trigger.

*FWING-BANG!*

Blinky jumped as the gun went off, but – he felt no pain! He squinted open his eyes and saw hazily – he was definitely losing a dangerous amount of blood – to see James Sr staring in shock as a silver streak shot past him, striking the gun from his hand to slide across the dirt floor. A silver dagger, very familiar.

Master Jim!

Blinky sagged backwards, laying down even as he saw a shadowed form come to a stop over him defensively. Even though he hadn't wanted this outcome, he had never felt so glad to see his young friend in his whole life.

James Sr had a perfect kill shot. His target was prone and not trying to evade; he knew he was beaten. He seemed to surrender to his fate. It was perfect!

One shot, and he would not only end another monster but ensure that his son would be freed from the brainwashing it had done to him.

One shot!

Then, even as he had squeezed the trigger, something silvery had streaked past him and his shot had gone harmlessly wide! Then a second streak had struck his gun straight from his hand, leaving a razor-thin line of blood in its wake. His startled gaze followed his gun to its final resting place – what was that strange-looking thing? - then snapped back as he heard a clattering metal sound. Something – someone – had come from above and tumbled into the pit, a...shield?...helping brace them from the fall. They rolled and slid, then he watched in shock as the individual dashed to a stop in front of Blinky, defensively over the Troll -Jim.

"J-Jim?!" James Sr gasped, mind unable to fathom what he was seeing. His son – suddenly there, in that armor! - a massive broadsword forming in his hands even as the shield vanished like it was never there...defending the monster!

"What?" Jim snarled, eyes narrowed and expression harsh. "You said you were eager to meet the Trollhunter. Well – here I am!"

"Y-you?!"

"Yeah, me!" Jim swung the sword with practiced ease in the air as James Sr, face growing pale and mouth agape in shock, began fumbling for his belt and pulled it off, shaking hands attempting to wrap it around his thigh and cinch it to make a rough tourniquet. Jim cries a roar as he slashed his "father" in half as the monster dies.

For a moment Jim just stood there, shaking and trying to catch his breath. Then he heard Blinky groan, and instantly shoved Daylight's point into the dirt, spinning around and dropping to his knees by Blinky's side and pressing his hands desperately to the wound.

"Blinky? Blinky! Can you hear me?" Jim said. Blinky groaned, but squinted open one eye.

"I –I'm sorry, Master – Master Jim," he whispered, eyes closing again. "I – never intended to actually fight – with him."

He panted a bit, then reached up with a lower hand to grip tight as he could manage to Jim's forearm.

There was a sharp bang, then another, then the sound of metal breaking and Draal's bellow.

"Trollhunter!"

"Here! We're here!" Jim all but screamed. "Blinky's hurt!"

It didn't take the others long to get to them, just following the line of lights as Blinky had. Though Claire and Toby stopped short in surprise seeing the prone man they recognized Draal, Aaarrrggghh, and Dictatious hardly paused, rushing to Blinky's side.

"Blinky!" wailed Aaarrrggghh.

"Dear brother! What have they've done to you?!" Dictatious said as he rushes to his brother.

"Come on, we have to head to the temple." Jim said as Aaarrrgghh carried Blinky on his shoulders.
_______________________________
Meanwhile, the Bad Guys, Flash, Green Arrow, Supergirl, and White Canary are running from the golem when they suddenly...

🎼🎵🎶

They turn to see a hooded wolf with two sickles.

"Ummm... who's that?" Flash asked.

"He's here for us. Death is after us." Wolf said. Death then created a barrier of fire that blocks off Flash, Green Arrow, Supergirl, White Canary, Vibe, Frost, Firestorm, and Heatwave.

"Bad Guys!" Flash shouts as they couldn't get pass the firewall.

"I've enjoyed the chase Bad Guys, but I think it's time the chase ends now." Death said as he clashes his blades.

The Bad Guys start to hyperventilate as they try to stay calm. As they do, they try to remember all the things they've gone through and why they don't stop fighting.

"What's the matter, Bad Guys? Lives flashing before your eyes?" Death asked. The Bad Guys then look at Death with a grin and pure confidence.

"No... we're done running." Wolf said as they all use their Force energy.

"Let's settle this... once and for all!" Drago said as his body crackles with green lightning.

🎶So you wanna laugh in the face of death
Well, let me tell you a joke, while I'm tearing out your soul🎶

Death and the Bad Guys clash at each other as the heroes of the League could only watch.

🎶And I'mma squeeze it out 'till it ain't none left
Yeah, come a little closer, try to keep your composure🎶

Hyena uses every one of his fighting type skills against Death along with his sound manipulation powers to weaken Death since wolves have sensitive ears.

🎶Give me a reason why
I should let you leave alive
I just wanna see those eyes
I know you feel that tingle down your spine🎶

Shark creates his own blades out of pure water as he battled Death by a sword fight. Shark continues to block each stab or assault on him as he fights to the Death.

🎶I enjoy the chase
But, c'mon, face it
Now you know you're wasting time
I'm taking your last life
Please, don't make it easy
C'mon tease me
Just a bit before you die
I'm taking your last life🎶

The Bad Guys each fought hard as Death fights back harder. Piranha managed to Thunder Punch Death in the face.

"Impressive. But not impressive enough!" Death said as he connects his sickles into a sharp bo staff.

🎶You only cared about the fortune and the fame
Living life on the edge, pretension was in your head
Now you're on your last life, and the feeling ain't the same🎶

Piranha began to run around as Death chases after him and he starts throwing lightning daggers at Death as they fought. Webs was on Piranha's shoulder as she acted as the eyes on his back.

"I can still smell the fear off you!" Death said.

Piranha then upper-kicked Death in the jaw as he then kicked Death in the gronk-nuks. Death groaned in pain as he struggles to stand.

"How's that for being afraid, chico?" Piranha said smirking.

🎶If the eyes are glowing red, then you're bound to end up dead🎶

Death looked surprised as he saw how more confident the Bad Guys became. Before this, they were afraid of him. Death then continues to assault them in battle.

🎶Every action has a consequence🎶

Wolf blocks and punches Death with all of his Strength Force in him. Boosting himself with more stamina as he shifts into his bigger, muscular, scarier werewolf form as he fights for his life.

🎶Got your hair standing up, I'm having fun with this🎶

Snake uses every trick in psychic powers as he fought Death with the Sage Force, creating illusions and Sage energy whips to beat back Death. Snake whips Death across the area.

🎶Shadows growing all around you, now your time is up🎶

Drago fights Death with more confidence as he uses the Still Force to aid his attacks. Drago would teleport all over as he attacked Death from different sides.

🎶And you don't get a last wish, nah, I don't give a fu-🎶

"You can't scare us anymore, Death. We're fine fearing you. It's time for you to be afraid!" Wolf said as they charge up their power.

🎶I like it when they run, it makes it fun for me
Give you a head start, I'm counting one to three
Covering your eyes 'cause you don't wanna see
If you try to rival death, you'll be the one to bleed
You've been living your life like you've got nothing to lose🎶

"What... impossible!" Death said.

"We're not giving into death! Not now! Not ever! We're fighting for the ones we love!" Wolf shouts as they were pure energy.

The Bad Guys combined their powers together as they charged towards Death for the final blow.

🎶But this is your demise, so you must be confused
Whistle in the air got you shaking in your boots
No matter where you go, I'll be waiting for you🎶

"HYPER-FORCE BOOM!!!!" The Bad Guys shout as they punched Death in the chest so hard that it creates a shockwave throughout the realm. Death falls down as he dropped one of his weapons.

🎶I enjoy the chase
But, c'mon, face it
Now you know you're wasting time
I'm taking your last life
Please, don't make it easy
C'mon tease me
Just a bit before you die
I'm taking your last life🎶

The Bad Guys return back to their normal forms as they stood afar from Death. Drago then kicked Death's sickle back to him.

"Get up!" Wolf ordered. Death looks at them.

"We know we can't beat you... but we're never gonna stop fighting for our lives, our friends and families." Snake said.

Death growls as he gets up and approaches the Bad Guys and gives them a deadly glare. The Bad Guys stand their ground as Death then growls in frustration.

"¿Por qué diablos fui a jugar con mi comida? AAARRRGGHH!!! You're ruining this for me! I came all this way for arrogant criminals who believed they can fix everything... but I don't see them anymore." Death said. The Bad Guys gasped at this.

"Death... whatever you saw us do in the future hasn't been set in stone. We can still change the future." Wolf said.

"Why should I believe in you seven. I've seen how the future is played out. What your actions lead to. They jeopardize the entire future of your world." Death said.

"We can change the future. Give us a chance." Webs said.

"Let's make a deal." Hyena said.

"A deal? Be wise on what you say." Death said.

"Give us time for us to change the future. To make a difference. If we do, then you let us live until we actually die." Shark said.

"And if you fail?" Death said.

"Then you can take our souls." Drago said.

"Hmmm... very well. But I will be keeping an eye on you seven and know that if you fail, there is no going back on your word. Am I clear?" Death said.

"Crystal. Deal?" Wolf said holding out his hand. Death then shakes his hand as a red flame burns as it was official.

"Deal." Death said as he puts away his sickles and starts to walk away.

"You know I will be seeing you again, right?" Death said.

"Si. Until death." Piranha said.

Death then whistled as he disappeared in the fire as the flames go down. As the fire went down, the heroes go to the Bad Guys.

"You know... when you guys said Death is after you, we thought you were being a little melodramatic." Barry said.

"Yeah well it's over... for now." Wolf said.

"Come on, let's go. The temple is not that far." Vibe said.

They all reach the center of the temple and see a opened coffin with a skeleton in ragged clothes holding a sword.

"(GASP!) It's him! Master Xion." Sonic said in surprise at the dead skeleton with rags.

They all then bow at the body of Xion as they see in his hands was the sword, glowing so beautifully.

"His sword." Markus said in awe. Draal then takes it out the skeleton's hand as it released a burst of energy that echoed all Earths.

"DRAAL! Are you okay?!" Jim exclaimed.

"Yes... I feel... I see... everything." Draal said as his eyes glowed blue.

Suddenly he got attacked as he dropped the sword on a hill. They turn to see Red Death along with the rest of the villains.

"Seriously?! You guys are being a real pain in my ass." Heatwave said.

"Get use to it." Carter said.

"Our leader decided to face you guys personally." Gunmar said as a breach opens with a giant demon with wings coming out.

"It's time I claim what's rightfully mine!" Overlord Valroketh said.

"That sword doesn't belong to you!" Green Arrow said.

"You're gonna pay for killing my father and ruining my life!" Markus said.

"The Sword will be mine as all worlds will be mine!" Overlord Valroketh said as his band of villains stood ready to fight.

"So what do we do now?" Hyena asked worried.

"We fight!" Green Arrow said as they charged into battle.
