"You guys are NOT gonna believe what Franky and tails built into this thing!" Rainbow said coming out of one of the rooms. "There's an Arcade, A training Simulator, a hangar for all kinds of ships, including the Sunny, the list goes on and on!"
"Uh...Rainbow, we already knew about the hangar part." Al said sweatdropping.
"I know, I'm just so excited." Rainbow said.
"A battle simulator huh? Do you think we could use it to fight people we faced before in the past? Like a recreation of it I mean." Papelne said.
"I'm pretty sure we can. With some creativity, we might even come up with some what-if battle scenarios ourselves." Sectonia said.
"Like being a part of each other's adventures that we weren't on before right?" Stoj asked.
"Uh...no. Nothing like that." Tails said.
"She meant the battles we all took part in, but under different circumstances." Ace said.
"In any case, you've really outdone yourself on the Galaxy King, Jexi." Hope said. "But this more looks like a Mega-Cruiser class ship than a regular one. And I thought I was into big things."
"But you have to admit. This place is amazing." Ace said.
"Speaking of amazing, has anyone seen Miu?" Kaito asked.
"She's down in the lab already." Vera said.
"What is she already doing there?" Tenko asked.
"Yeah, when she heard about the EX Multiverse Grand Prix, she decided to...convert my motorcycle into an air bike." David said.
"Speaking of which, I received another flyer from my ship's computer. It's a list of the tracks and their respective universes." Ace said as he pulled out the flyer.
"Let's just save that for another time. We're still a long while away from that." Dan said.
"Oh yeah, sorry. By the way, how can we help Corona get his power back?" Ace asked.
"It can't be easy, I'm sure of that. Without Solana here, she can't channel her energy into him. And I'm thinking restoring his power to Apollomon might be a bad idea because of our Titan problem." Ty said.
"They were able to trace Tsuki while she was keeping her power dormant anyway, so it really wouldn't matter to them." Teepo said.
"Yeah and the only reason Tsuki was able to evolve was because me and Aluche were in danger when we fought the Moon Queen." Ace said.
"It's gonna take something really big for Corona to get back into god mode, if that's true." Connor said.
"We should focus on that later. In the meantime, we should try to find more of the XII." AJ said.
"So far we found 5, Vulcanusmon, Dianamon, Ceresmon, Apollomon, and Venusmon." Ace said.
"We can focus on the titans later. Besides, we've already reached our destination." Tails said as they were arriving in a japanese style land filled with long grass fields and japanese style villages.
"Yes...this is my home." Kenshin said.
"This place… It feels so nostalgic." David said.
"Aw, someone's a little homesick." Nu said.
"Can you blame me? I haven't been in Akihabara in over a year." David said.
"Well maybe after the titans are stopped and just before the Grand Prix, why don't we stop by there for a few days?" Ace asked.
"I think that should be up to David and his friends if they wanna go back or not." Izuku said.
"It was just a suggestion, alright?" Saki said.
"In any case, we all know the reason we're here." Fulgore said.
"Yeah." Simon said.
"We're here to bury the sword." Kenshin said. "After this, we can stop for tea at my mother's tea house." He said heading down the path.
"Wait for us!" Saaya said, following behind.
They arrived at an unkempt grave site where Kenshin started digging a small hole before dropping the Akuma no Ryu into it. He then buried the sword and knelt down before praying. "Honorable members of the Takeda Family, it is with great respect and honor I return what is rightfully yours. And with hopes...I pray you all have found a wonderful afterlife." Kenshin prayed.
"So...tea now?" Hope asked.
"Yes." Kenshin said as he headed off with the others to a small little tea house as a lone woman was sweeping outside. "Mother...I have returned." he said.
She looked up and smiled a bit. "Son...it's been far too long." she said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am." David said as his team bowed.
"And it appears my son has made some respectable friends." she said bowing. "Please come in. But Kenshin, there is something you should know. He's here."
"Who is here?" Kenshin said.
"Your father." she said.
"Cretaceous?! He's here?!" Hope asked as David smacked him into a bowing position.
"Hope, not so loud." David whispered.
"Sorry… it's just, it's Cretaceous we're talking about here." Hope whispered back.
"Let us head inside." Kenshin said as they followed inside and to their surprise, there sat Cretaceous at a small table in robes drinking from a small cup of green tea. "So you are here."
"Ah...So the second to find me is the son of my fifth family." Cretaceous said. "Seems fate is being funny once again."
"Fate has a habit of binding us to the most awkward of scenarios." Sayuri said.
"Sayuri...here I thought you would resort to staying in that frozen hovel you call a temple." Cretaceous said.
"Circumstances have changed, Cretaceous. The danger of the titans could not be avoided." Sayuri said.
"Ah yes. The creatures my son released." Cretaceous said. "I would have been surprised to hear that...course this family tends to cause a lot of problems." He said drinking more of the tea.
"It's been since Primal Hyrule. Only this time, the situation is much different." Hope said. "We need your help. What do you know of the Titans and the Olympos XII?"
"Primal Hyrule? Is that what you've been calling the true Hyrule?" Cretaceous chuckled to himself as he drank.
"Don't change the subject. Just please tell us what you know of the Titans and the XII." Mari said.
"Sorry...but I do not share my findings so easily." Cretaceous said pouring more tea into his cup.
"It's understandable. Your secrets could be devastating if in the wrong hands." Ty said.
"I only plan to reveal all things when there is at least one year left on my life. When that time comes, my research and fortune will be up for grabs to anyone of my family. My ultimate experiment...an inheritance war." Cretaceous said.
"I don't like the sound of that." David said.
"Why make your children go to war with each other?" Spade asked.
"If I could pick a reason...I suppose it would be...to slay my own curiosity." Cretaceous said.
"So that's why, so that someone from your family line can continue your work." David said.
"I may have traveled through multiple worlds, several universes, even through time. But even I am not immortal." Cretaceous said. "That's the reason for the 25 Flux Families. So one child can become the heir of a lifetime of work."
"And those who don't become the heir?" Saki asked.
"I'm not planning to kill them if that's what you mean. It just means they live normal lives." Cretaceous said.
"So how will it work?" Hope asked.
"The details are not all planned out yet but I'm considering keeping the war to a six month time limit while providing three methods of victory." Cretaceous said.
"But what if no one wins?" Asta asked.
"If that were to occur, everything goes to my eldest child." Cretaceous said.
"And that would be Amadeus?" David asked.
"Not quite... There is someone else. Ishihara, do you remember James? This is his older sister. An agent of DOPA, the Department of Paranormal Anomalies. Her name is Elena." Cretaceous said. "She was born exactly one year before Amadeus. So all would go to her."
"Anything else about her I should know?"
"She's more...kind-hearted than her brother, and recently she became an Enhanced with the Mangekyo Sharingan." Cretaceous said.
"Sasuke!" Hope said.
"That's right. He and Greninja were with us when the first Enhanced Bomb went off." Jexi said.
"Huh." Hope said.
"Now...speaking of wars...I understand one will be taking place here, Kenshin." Cretaceous said.
"What are you talking about?" Kenshin asked.
"I'm afraid he's right son. With the Takeda family eliminated, their land has become up for grabs and the other houses want it." she said.
"I have an idea. Why not claim their land as the Flux Familes own?" Ty asked.
"But that would mean fighting off everyone who wants it in a free-for-all. Can we really handle something like that?" Tenko asked.
"Not to mention there are five other families in the region alone. Each having powerful warrior children. See, the houses here name their strongest children with the name of a fierce warrior. Mine is Kenshin. There are five others, Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, Ishida, Sanada, and Mitsuhide." Kenshin explained.
"Two of the namesakes being Japan's conquerors. This is not going to be easy." Mayumi said.
"Yeah, but we don't know until we try, right?" Ace asked.
"You should know that the warrior goddess is going to be watching." Kenshin's mother said.
"The warrior goddess?!" Kenshin said. "To think my sword work would be watched by someone so wise."
"Minervamon." Tsuki said.
"This just became a battle we can't afford to lose." Sachiko said.
"Definitely. If we want Minervamon's help, we must prove ourselves in this battle." Selena said.
"Agreed. So what's on the agenda against these guys?" Indigo asked.
"They will lead armies of soldiers, but the only major generals in these armies should only be the main child of each family." Kenshin said.
"So they're our targets then. If we want to get to each of them, we'll have to charge through their armies." Veigue said.
"Do not take them so lightly, like Takeda and myself, each of them has a desire as well...becoming warlord." Kenshin said.
"So, what's the plan? There's five other families, how are we gonna fight them all?" Ty asked.
"The wisest approach would be divide and conquer." Kenshin said.
"Yes, we would send out one or two groups to each army, that way we would deal with them all at the same time." Reflet said.
"No...they'd likely be expecting that. Hmm. But...groups of eight would work just as well. We send groups of eight against each of the five armies." Kenshin said.
"So...how do we do this?" Hope asked.
"First we have Hideyoshi Bushima. She may be a woman but she is no stranger to battle and trickery. I'll allow AJ to deal with her." Kenshin said.
"Me?!" AJ asked.
"Think of this as a way of proving your worth to the cause. We'll be dispatched in groups of eight, so who do you want to take with you?" Sectonia asked.
"Right. I'll take Diane, Nami, Mustang, Jesse, Simon, Abby and Leone." AJ said.
"Good. Next we have Ishida Mojima. A gifted schemer and will not hesitate to sacrifice important figures in order to win. Ace will battle him." Kenshin said.
"Alright. I'll bring Tsuki, Medusa, Ulrich, Himiko, Zoro, Peko, and Sora." Ace said.
"Then comes Ryuga Sanada, a fierce warrior who once charged an army of 1000 on his own. Zexi, you have done things that make me think all the time. You will battle him." Kenshin said.
"Fine. Hitomi, Tenko, Ranma, Akane, Lubbock, Ty and Ban can come with me." Zexi said.
"Then comes Mitsuhide Ibara. How he fights is a mystery. One day he may be an ally, the next he's your enemy. His approach is a mystery even to me. Spectra will take him." Kenshin said.
"Very well. Shadow Prove, Dark Water, Bakugo, Nekomaru, Kokichi, Saki, and King. You are with me." Spectra said.
"Last, there is Nobunaga Sunguchi. He is most likely the strongest warrior among all of us. I will be taking him personally." Kenshin said. "As for who, David Ishihara, Asta, Leonis, Zero, Owain, Meliodas and Aqua. You are with me. The rest will remain here to protect our castle."
"Alright. Everyone be safe out there." Anna said.
"Be careful out there, David." Sectonia said.
"Ah, you too, Sectonia." David said giving her Tapunium Z. "Just in case things get dicey."
"Everyone...I sense three reincarnated eidolons here. If any of you happen to run into them, Be sure to assist them if they are fighting." Medusa said.
"Understood. We'll even send them to the castle so that they won't get further caught in the fighting." David said.
"Just curious...what is our castle?" Tulip asked.
"This tea house." Kenshin said.
"Ah...right." Tulip said.
"Alright everyone, fight well and good luck." Spade said.
"I hope I don't get myself killed…" AJ said.
"Don't worry. We'll be right there with you." Simon said as he leaned on AJ's shoulder and smirked at him.
"Right, I've got you guys with me. What could go wrong?" AJ asked.
"Did you seriously just ask that?" Jesse asked.
"Nothing good comes from saying that, but we'll just have to grin and bear it." Simon said. "Shall we move out, captain?"
"Yeah. Let's move." AJ said stretching as his army moved out.
"Godspeed to you all." Francisca said.
"Yeah, cause there's more than just land on the line. There's also a god." Ty said.
