As the teams arrive in Metal City, they prepare for the coming battle.
"This is it. The final battle." Lloyd said.
"Indeed. Once we take out the remaining Genre Generals, only Cindrey will be left." Raine said.
"Based on the info we gathered, it's going to be quite the gathering." Jude said.
"Sectonia, how's… How's David doing?" Leia asked.
"He's doing quite well. Although, I'm not sure why he'd dismiss the Tapus like that. After all, they did say they're willing to help us defeat Black once we finish up here." Sectonia said.
"They're probably giving him some time to come to terms with what happened." Ming said. "After all, it was a position he never wanted to be in."
"David's usually a determined individual, so seeing him like this is very off-putting." Teba said.
"Mikleo, what are your thoughts about it?" Genis asked.
"Genis, it's probably not a good idea to ask him." Leia said. "I mean, David did kill Zenrus in front of him, after all."
"So, for now, let's just trust Ming's word and hope he can come to terms with it." Ramona said.
At that moment, a door opens, showing David stepping out.
"Hey, Dave. We were just talking about you." Scott said. "Look, I know the emotions you're feeling are running deep right now, but we just want to know. Are you going to be okay out there?"
David nods. "Yeah, I'll be alright."
In the Beacon, Hope tugged his gloves and adjusted his boots.
"So, we're finally going back to your home, huh?" Rose asked.
"Yeah. I'm tired of running away. Know what that feels like?" Hope asked.
"We all know how it feels." Leanne said. "But...we're not gonna let your family have their run of the mill anymore."
"She's right. You gotta face your demons at some point or another." Sabo said.
"Yeah, i figured i would." Hope said.
"Well hells bells, not one to procrastinate facing your past, are ya?" Zaveid asked.
"It's not that i don't want to go and face them, i just wanna make sure a certain future doesn't come to pass." Hope said.
"Future?" Mikleo asked.
"A while back, this guy, Chrono, he showed us a future where Cindery laid waste to most of the heroes, then somehow all the enhanced going berserk and destroying everything and finally, that Lucius guy destroying all of the universes." Zexi said.
"If i beat Cindrey and prevent her from becoming head Honcho, i can weaken Lucius enough so that we can beat him and fulfill the prophecy." Hope said.
"You don't even know if Lucius is the evil or not. Also, how does beating Cindery weaken Lucius?" Titanica said.
"Sorry, going on way too big a limb. I should just focus on what is today and stopping Cindery." Hope said.
"Can't we stop to plan out how we're gonna do this first? We've been flying nonstop for two days." Gemina said.
"All right." Hope said as the ships lowered and stopped at an old abandoned building.
"Is this Metal City?" Zephyr asked.
"Yeah. Take a look outside." Hope said.
Looking out the windows, the team finally saw Hope's old city.
Metal city was a mesh of every kind of Metal in the world, mixed in with the buildings, walls, and even the streets as well as huge factories that let off black smoke all over.
"Yeah. This city is one of the largest producers of metal products like ship or automobile parts." Hope said. "Each district is ranked in class by the type of metal and how pure and strong it is. The upper classes are in the Iron, Steel, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Districts. The Mercury Discrict is the part where chemical Weapons are created."
"What about the lower classes?" Korra asked.
"I would think i Best if Heart explained those, since he's from one." Hope said.
"The lower classes cannot afford much and live in old torn down apartments from during the city's former glory days." Heart said. "They don't even bother with districts considering the lower classes are considered nothing."
"Over there, see that building?" Hope said seeing a large building that had the words 'Love House' in big words.
"Love House… isnt that Erics place?" Korra asked.
"I figured if Astro offered him a job and rigged him with Parasites, Eric had to be local to get the job… and i was right." Hope said.
"But, when I saw Love House, it was in a completely different city from this one." Lacy said.
"You didnt really think Love house was only one building, right?" Hope asked. "The whole Love House Brand has tons of chain buildings all over the worlds. If one gets attacked or ransacked, Eric would have to move here or any other Love House thats not occupied."
"So this one was unoccupied during the parasite rising. And it looks like its still empty." Lacy said.
"So i don't think we can count on Mr. Parasite to help us out with this one." Zephyr said.
"Eric only had beef with Astro. I dont think hes that stupid to help us take on Cindery." Hope said.
"Plus, he's still with his siblings, helping them get a better grip of their abilities at the Cosmic Circus." Lacy said.
"So it looks like its just us four. Brave Adventurers, Dimensional Heroes, Hope Squad, and…" Hope said.
"Hey, you guys dont have a name yet. Is Zexi ever gonna name your group?" Zinia asked.
"Well, he said he was planning to name it once he had all of his members gathered." Leonis said.
"Yeah. It seemed like a good idea to me." Zexi said.
"Looks like its just us four for…" Hope said before he heard the doors open below. "Someone else must be using the building." he said quietly as he slowly walked down the steps ready to attack. At a moment, he pounced as his fist was caught as the intruders was caught. Hope then saw it was Ty. "What the? Ty?"
"Hope?" Ty said.
They looked at each other before finally grasping hands. "Man, its been along time, buddy! How youve been!"
"Cheating Death, thanks to Lead." Ty said. "But lost the Steel Dragons thanks to your demon of a sister."
"Yeah, i know. We all wanna take her down." Hope said.
"Well consider us in." Ty said.
"Us? You have your own team?" Hope said.
"Of course he does." said a blond haired young man with regal clothing on ad some sort of sword on his back. "WHy else wouldnt we be here."
"Whats Meliodas doing here?!" Sam asked in shock.
"I do not know, but i will smite him. Be defeated for justice, villain!" Heart said charging to Meliodas before someone else got in the way. She had white hair and average clothing on.
"Please, stop! I beg of you, dont bring harm to Lord Meliodas!" she said.
"That woman….You're Elizabeth Liones." Leonis said.
"Well, so you're here too." a voice said as a woman in purple with long black hair walked in. "You've certainly grown a bit."
"L-lady Merlin." Leonis said quickly bowing.
"Uh… shes the boars sin of Gluttony?" Hope asked.
"Don't question her. She's one of the most powerful users of magic in all of the worlds." Leonis said.
"Yes. Recently, I've been a help to the Pendragon Family, both past and present." Merlin said. "Mostly helping Arthur in the past and little Leonis here in the present."
"What is she telling us?" Teba asked.
"Oh, I thought you all had already figured it out ages ago from my name. My family is descended from King Arthur of Camelot." Leonis said.
"Oh? Why didnt you tell us?" Hope said as Leonis was shocked.
"Hah! That face is priceless!" Sting said coming out as Lector flew beside him.
"I agree with ya there, buddy." Lector said.
"Sting?! What are you doing here?" Natsu said.
"Oh. Sabertooth decided to join up with this guy here." Sting said pointing to Ty. "And its not just me."
Rouge, Frosh, Yukino and Minerva stepped out too.
"Its Yukino!" Lucy said.
"Good to see you too, Lucy." Yukino smiled.
"Rogue and Frosh too, i cant believe it." Gajeel said.
"Believe it. We're on the quest to assist this man on his quest for vengeance." Rogue said.
"I still think we shouldnt kill her…" Frosh said.
Minerva then stopped in front of Erza.
"Minerva." Erza greeted.
"Erza." Minerva said as both silently acknowledged the other.
"So, the Seven Deadly Sins, and Sabertooth. Is this it?" Zoro asked.
"Nope, guess again." said a young woman, who was Gale, coming out. "Hello. My name is Gale. It is a pleasure to meet you."
"And finally…" Josuke said coming out with his pals, including Rohan and Yukako.
"Josuke?" Odd asked.
"So… these are the ones were working with?" Yukako asked eyeing a lot of the girls. "Dont any of you dare think about stealing Koichi from me!"
"I don't think you have much to worry about on that front." Ty said.
"Okay, so this is all it huh? Not a bad group." Hope said. "So five of us groups against the Ginova family."
"So, whats the game plan?" Nekomaru asked.
"Glad you asked. Gale is a tech expert from the Future Universe who was working under Astro. She knows how to get past the security system. I plan to have Escanor and Ban stand at the gates and attack, leading away a large number of troops as the rest of us sneak in from the underground tunnels. After that, we're working our way through the mansion in order to find Cindrey before her plan becomes active." Ty said.
"Plan?" Donald asked.
"We overheard some grunts on the streets earlier. Tomorrow, she's going to assassinate your old man." Ty said.
"So that means Cindery, if she takes out dad, will become leader with no hassle at all. So we have to make sure that she doesnt do that." Hope said.
"She's not the only problem." Diane said.
"She's right. When I was assembling this group, I overheard a conversation between Aphrodite and Flux." Ty said.
"Aphrodite and Flux, working together?" Hope asked.
"More like are dating. After Cindrey is finished with Ginova, flux is gonna kill her and take credit as the hero, making Metal City his to do anything with." Ty said.
"I knew he was up to something!" Hope said.
"And he purposely let Cindery take out all the criminal groups in the city so he'd have less competition. Also, there was something else he said that bothers me." Josuke said.
"He said that Cindery didn't have full grasp of her abilities and that they're surging out and creating rifts. He says if it continues...our world is toast." Ty said.
"It explained why Josuke, his friends and myself were in that city." Diane said. "Cindery was unknowingly making those rift thingies."
"So we dont have a lot of time." Hope said. "Lets do this plan and take down Cindery."
"We'll strike tomorrow at 5 am, just as the sun starts to peak out." Ty said.
"If everyones good on the plan, lets get ready to face my demons!" hOpe said.
"Yes!" everyoen said.
As they split off, Heart managed to talk with Elizabeth.
"Why did you stop me from doing justice? Clearly, Meliodas is a villain, because he and the sins did wrong against the Holy Knights." Heart said.
"Thats not entirely right." Meliodas said. "Way i heard it from her when we first met, she wanted our help in stopping the Holy Knights."
"What? Why would you, the princess of your own Kingdom, recruit these men to defeat your own protectors?" Heart said.
"W-well i…" Elizabeth said. "I needed them to help save the kingdom."
"Save the kingdom? From the Holy Knights?" Ty asked. "But i heard theve been protecting Britanna for years."
"You seriously need a history update." Meliodas said. "You know one of the higher ranked Holy Knights was murdered right? He was our captain."
"Yes. And the one who did it was another Holy Knight. Hendrickson." Merlin said.
"Hendrickson? One of the top 3 of the knights? But...that would be considered betraying the kingdom." Heart said.
"Thats why they shifted the blame to the Sins and forced us into Exile. But once Ty found me and Elizabeth and brought Diane back, he helped me find the others." Meliodas said.
"I kinda made a promise to Diane to find the rest of the sins." Ty said rubbing his head.
"And in exchange, we all agreed that you would be our leader, captain included." Diane said.
"I see. Such a noble deal! The seven deadly sins, all gathered in order to deal with a common enemy of their friend! Now that...is amazing justice!" Heart said posing.
"Man, this guys a whack job…" Ban said.
"But he is determined to be a hero, i'll give him that." Ty said.
"But Dianes right, i guess were following you now." King said.
"I wont let you down as leader of this group. And dont worry, we'll get around to what you guys need to do." Ty said.
"Eh, the Holy Knights can wait. Its kinda fun taking some detours." Meliodas siad.
"Agreed. Besides, it might be interesting to deal with something just as disastrous on other worlds." Gowther said.
"Then lets do this." Ty said.
