3RD PERSON POV

Y/N(AAU): When are they arriving?

Auditor: Soon.

Auditor(AAU): So this....Resistance has multiple factions right?

Auditor: AAHW is merely one of them....though I'm seeing that this AAU is an entire world built on itself.

Auditor(AAU): Indeed....but to think you would show up-

*WHOOSH*

Y/N shows up through a portal, Excalibur Morgan and Rebellion sheathed by his side.

Y/N: I am here.

Y/N walks over to his counterpart, conversing with him as they showed off their blades.

Y/N(AAU): Woah....you have more blades than me!

Y/N: I do.

Y/N(AAU): Are you a swordsman?

Y/N: I primarily fight with swords, though I will of course use other means of combat with my cursed energy, devil powers, fists and more.

Y/N(AAU): Huh.....your parents must be-

Y/N: I don't have parents. They died when I was 2.

Y/N(AAU): Oh....

Y/N: I can't blame them though. The Cirvik Civil War has been ongoing for a thousand years already. They died trying to protect me.

Y/N(AAU): *sweating* O-Oh....

Y/N: My second parental guardian died at the age of 5, and my third died at the age of 7. That was when I joined the Resistance as a soldier.

Y/N(AAU): *alarmed* You're a child soldier?!

Y/N: If I joined the refugees they were all killed hours later by Cirvik forces. I had no other choice than to live rather than die.

Y/N(AAU): Are there.....any happy memories from your childhood?

Y/N: None than I can remember.

Y/N(AAU) pitied Y/N, having already looked into his mind and saw the sheer horror and violence he had to go through during his first 18 years of life.

Y/N(AAU): Anything happy?

Y/N: I married my beautiful wife at the age of 19

Y/N(AAU): *smile* Well that's one to start with-

Y/N: She died along with the friends I considered in my own home in the landmass of TRIK after I left for a mission in 2 weeks.

Y/N(AAU): O-Oh......

Y/N: What about you? There must be a reason why AAHW has changed into AAU.

Y/N(AAU): You see......I-

Ink: Yo Y/N- Ok...you're my Y/N! And you...are the Y/N of this world!

Y/N(AAU): Ink! Well....the other Ink.

One by one, all of Y/N's friends and such arrived to the area, even everyone living in Y/N(AAU)'s household came only to meet Y/N's entire team.

Alex: Eh....I know you.

Velvet2: M-Me? 

Eto: Yup!

Hank/Deimos/Sanford:....Damn you got all the girls!

Cecilia: Your Y/N.....has multiple girlfriends?

M4A1: Yup!

Artoria: *shy* Y-Yeah.....

Kidman: Looks like our Y/N's are similar in a way!

Leone grins and high-fives Kidman as Cole pops out from a portal.

Cole: Oh...you're here!

Cole2: You.....have the Beast inside you?

Cole: Cirvik stole me from my world so I joined the Resistance here. Rest assured I won't cause any problems.

Soon, everyone arrived with their weapons and Auditor(AAU) gestures to them all to follow him through a portal.

Later

Auditor(AAU): Explain this Cirvik Civil War.

Lelouch: The Cirvik Civil War is by far the bloodiest war in our planet Terra's history. Spanning for approximately 1000 years or 1027 years, the Resistance has risen to combat against the tyrannical rule of Cirvik, the superpower that controls the entire world through means of corruption, subjugation of various nations and other methods like genocide, regicide, mass killing....

He lists what Cirvik had done, AAU's side horrified at what they've done for so long before he sat back down.

Lelouch: Billions of people have died from this war....and now their influence has recently threatened the safety of dozens of planets around the multiverse. 

Jebediah(AAU): That's not good......and they're willing to throw tens of millions of soldiers too?

Auditor: We lost a million soldiers yesterday. However, we managed to resurrect 800,000 in just 24 hours by pulling them back from the Other Place-

Y/N(AAU): Hold on...you mean the afterlife?

Auditor: Nevadians can be pulled back to the real world as long as you anchor them back.

Auditor(AAU): Interesting......to do it with thousands at once too. Perhaps you can share the method of doing so with us?

Auditor: In exchange for sharing how you make that device to resurrect people from the battlefield itself.

Auditor(AAU): *nod* That can be arranged.

Auditor: But let's get to business. How old are you?

Auditor(AAU): 520?

Auditor: I'm 1676 years 7 months and 23 days.

Auditor(AAU): *surprised* So you're 3 times my age.

Auditor: Exactly.

Jebediah: And you?

Jebediah2: 40.

Jebediah: 45.

Lelouch: *bow* 25.

Y/N(AAU): 19.

Y/N: 22 in a week.

Y/N(AAU): *smile* Congratulations uh....other me!

Y/N: Thank you.

Ink: 65.

Ink(AAU): So ten years older.

Ink: My kind ages twice slower than humans.

Ink(AAU): Really? I age about 1.5 times slower.

Ink: So we function differently.

Auditor(AAU): You're us, but older.

Auditor: Indeed.

Auditor(AAU): Tell us about your military. What do you use?

Y/N: A combination of melee weapons, guns, technology, magic and more-

Y/N(AAU): Your military incorporates magic?

Y/N: It exists in our world in everyone. Anyone can build their magic up, and anyone is capable of dishing out devastating attacks of fire, light, earth, and so much more.

Y/N(AAU): That's something different. But your technology seems....much, much more advanced than ours.

Y/N: A thousand years of war can push the development of weapons very far on both sides.

They talked about their own countries for a while before the other Auditor spoke up.

Auditor(AAU): What about we give a demonstration of our strengths?

Later

Y/N: Ink....you're up!

Ink: Got it!

He walks into a large concrete field of Nevada, facing his counterpart while they held their weapons.

Ink/Ink2: Ready.

Auditor: Go ahead.

*BOOM*

Ink immediately slams into Ink2, the latter struggling to hold back his older counterpart as they kicked each other back.

Ink: *grin* What's wrong? He said go ahead!

Ink2: *tch* I'm just getting started!

*CLANG*

They clashed against each other like titans, the earth shaking beneath them as Y/N watches with his counterpart.

Y/N(AAU): They're evenly matched.

Y/N: Not quite.

Y/N(AAU): Huh?

*CLANG*

Ink smashes his axe against Ink2's, sending him flying.

Y/N: There is a clear difference in strength and speed. Check their expression and posture. What do you see?

Y/N(AAU) checks the two Inks, seeing his counterpart's Ink calm, composed and his eyes focusing while Ink2 had a frustrated look on his face.

Y/N(AAU): My Ink....is getting frustrated.

*BOOM*

Ink infuses haki into his axe before stomping the earth, knocking him off balance and sent a shockwave of wind to send him flying into the sky. Jumping up, they exchanged blows midair, though the clear difference was starting to show itself as Ink2 was ragdolled around.

Y/N: When was the last time he seriously trained?

Y/N(AAU): He trains everyday! I-

Y/N: So that's why......yeah that's why.

Y/N(AAU): Why?

Y/N: Your friend Ink lacks the combat experience. He may be the nation guardian of your Keriotheca Technology, but my friend Ink was born in a time of war. Decades of combat experience from countless battles every week, month, year......some even threatening to kill him. Your Ink is strong, but he had it easy. That's why he'll lose.

*BOOM*

Ink and Ink2 land onto the ground, Ink2 having many bruises and such, looking a bit roughed up while Ink looked perfectly fine.

Ink: You were as strong as me 30 years ago.

Ink2:...........*sigh* Goddamnit.

They sheathed their weapons before fist bumping each other as a sign of sportsmanship.

Ink: You are strong, but you just need more combat experience. Don't be afraid to learn other things outside your wheelhouse, and with your strength, you can reach my level soon.

Ink2: *smirk* Got it.

They walk back to their side, Ink2's friend looking stupefied along with Y/N(AAU)'s girlfriends.

Bijou: Holy shit......your copy is stronger than you!

BBQ: Goddamn!

Ink2: Yeah yeah...but I'll catch up soon.

*WHOOSH*

Hank2: Yo! What about you-

Torture2: No thanks. My counterpart is stronger than me.

He flat out confirmed Torture's strength as he disappears through a portal.

Hank2: Damn....

Several fights were initiated between Y/N's and Y/N(AAU)'s side, all of them resulting in Y/N's side winning all of them.

Ryuko: *groan* Ow......

Genos2: I've been bested.........

Hank2: Goddamn........

Eto2: Why is my alternate version so strong?

Bernadette2: 'I thought my ability was only meant for reflection....she's much, much stronger than me!'

Y/N(AAU): It seems like your versions of mine are superior in strength......

Y/N: But the true test begins now.

Y/N(AAU): What better way to settle this.....than a fight-

*BOOM*

Y/N slams his head into the ground in a split second and gets back, letting his counterpart get up.

Y/N: Hesitation is defeat. You should've expected something like that to happen.

Y/N(AAU): *gets up* Not at that fucking speed-

*BOOM*

Y/N kicks him out of nowhere before running after his counterpart, unsheathing Yamato after assessing footage of his fight in the other version of Wellston.

Later

Victoria: *smile* Different worlds are quite interesting Prim.

Prim: It is....but what brings you to come here?

She merely smiles, putting away her sword as they walked through the open field.

Victoria: *smile* This Y/N.....interests me. I only met him once, yet I can sense how powerful he is. And his eyes.......his eyes are that of a warrior that has known combat for decades.

She looks into the sky, sensing a disturbance as Prim raises a brow.

Victoria: There he is! I-

*BOOM*

Y/N(AAU) comes crashing onto the ground, shirtless and breathing heavily as Y/N lands onto the ground besides the two Elders.

Y/N: What is the difference between us other me?

Y/N(AAU): You're more ruthless?

Y/N: Wrong. I am ruthless yes, but that's because I know I can go on the offensive, and if you can, do so to the upmost efficiency.

Y/N(AAU) sheathes his dual swords as Y/N begins to explain his reasoning.

Y/N: In terms of hand to hand combat, I admit, you might be better than me but that's only barely. The fighting styles you've learned are nothing new to me, and even if you do something I haven't known I can always adapt. I am by far the better sword fighter. You're good...I admit, but you lack the combat experience I have when it comes to using blades and weapons. I can see you often fight with more reliance on your brute strength, which is why you're often flustered when you get overpowered. I can override your regeneration with the mortal blade and I can bypass your nanomachines with Yamato and haki. And in addition, the limits of our body.

Y/N(AAU): What about it?

Y/N: You're human. I'm a human/demon/devil hybrid. In terms of our base strength, I am stronger, and I will only grow stronger the more I use my devil and demon powers. I have much, much more abilities that you too. The only thing you have over me is the adaptive power of.....your Improbability Drive.

Y/N(AAU): You.....know?

Y/N: I know how an improbability drive works other me. Yes, it has the potential to destroy universes. However, I've fought people that can do the same thing. Though you can grow in power and adapt to my abilities and such.....what's stopping me from absorbing one of my own?

Y/N(AAU):..............

Y/N: I limit my power to challenge myself and grow stronger. My scars are proof of the obstacles I've gone through all my life. War, bloodshed, mass killing of armies alone, that is what I chose to do for the Resistance. You have good leadership, adaptability and senses, but I've honed my senses for years already. I am by far the better fighter by experience, potential.....everything.

He stated this as a matter of fact, Y/N(AAU) looking rather disappointed in himself at seeming weak to his counterpart as Y/N pats his back.

Y/N: Don't be disappointed in yourself. You can still catch up in various ways. We live different lives....which require different strengths. We have our ideals, morales and such. I'm not you, and you're not me. Though we are Y/N yet different, it's your choice if you want to be stronger like me........do not do so.

Y/N(AAU): Huh?

Y/N: Don't be like me. In the process of growing stronger and gaining more experience....you might find yourself to enjoy the act of killing your opponent.....killing those who oppose you. In the act of gaining power.....don't lose yourself in the madness. Control yourself, discipline yourself....though sometimes you can't help it but let emotions get the best of you.

Y/N(AAU) listens, very interested by his philosophy while Victoria stared at the massive scars on Y/N's body.

Y/N: Go. I'll be with you shortly.

His counterpart leaves as he then turns to Victoria who stood there with a smile.

Victoria: *smile* Bravo! What a splendid fight!

Y/N: Are you here to see me?

Victoria: Correct! And I was right to! I learned a lot about you.......a man with no gift, not a human, but a hybrid between humanity and hell itself. An energy user, magic user, swordsman, gunner, hand to hand combatant....you're the whole package!

Victoria: Go ahead Prim! I'll just wait here-

*WHOOSH*

Sensing time slowing down, Y/N snaps his fingers, activating quicksilver before kicking Prim away.

Victoria: And he can slow down time too! *laugh* Haha...this is great!

Y/N: Victoria....what do you want?

Victoria: Can't visit someone that I consider an acquaintance? I was merely curious at how you're doing....but you're doing just fine!

Y/N:.......Ok. I'll be going back now.

Victoria: *grin* See you later Demon Ronin.

Y/N stops for a second, hearing her call him that before flashing out of view in place.

Victoria: Ah....let's go now.

Prim: Ok.

Later

Y/N: So......what do you think? We'll help you defeat Union quickly, and after that you'll help us with Cirvik. Because like it or not, you've joined the war the moment they killed millions of civilians.

Y/N(AAU) definitely knew this war was going to be even more deadlier than the one with Union. Y/N effortlessly killed the WAR machines while he took too long to kill them. Not to mention that AAU was only formed over the span of 2 years and only fought in the Union war so far. The Resistance meanwhile was in a bloody 1000 year war, technology greater, troops deadlier, and their logistics were godlike compared to AAU and while Y/N(AAU) had his fair share of fighting, even years of fighting in a time slowed space with his god Senseis and other things, Y/N had much, much more combat experience than him in training, fight to the death, practically everything besides a few places like hand to hand combat. Even then, Y/N could easily become better than him at that. And for him to be so wary of Cirvik despite knowing the power he had.....with Union gone, they still have Cirvik to deal with.....so it's better to handle one issue first and then the other.

Y/N(AAU): Auditor, should we ally?

Auditor(AAU):..........Y/N? My other me?

He held his flaming hand out, Auditor shaking it before he turns to Y/N and shook his hand.

Auditor(AAU): Let's do it.

And thus, signaled their partnership.
