Hello there, this is the second chapter of my story.
I rewrote the majority of this on my IPhone while doing the line for my PS4. Currently playing Killzone and it's awesome.
Also, forgive my grammar, English is my second language.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything except for the plot of this story and my OC. This is for pure entertainment.
Hope you enjoy.

Decide to change the ending of this chapter into something more original than getting the Sage of Six Paths power and removed something else that I think was unnecessary.
Chapter 1:
Location: The Between, four weeks since Edward's departure to Prototype Universe #471
In the ever quiet, tranquil and white landscape that was The Between, a human size tear appears and out of it comes out a person wearing a dark blue hooded jacket that had the design of blue angel wings on the back of it; a black shirt, dark blue pants and was wearing dark sneakers. After the person came out of the tear, the tear closes. The person looks around the place and sees that there is no one around, just like last time.
'Man, can't believe I managed to survive that entire fiasco. Four weeks of none stop consuming and killing sure can take a toll on a person's psyche. But in the end it was worth it.' Edward though as he began to remember the events of the last four weeks.
The first week there, Edward had to battle constantly against Infected and Blackwatch forces. Edward lost count on how many of them he had consumed. During that week, managed to get all the powers that Mercer and Heller could use, but not all of them were upgraded to their full potential. Edward learned how to access the Web of Intrigue and how to quickly access a newly consumed memory in a snap, thought it did made Edward go and steal lots of Panadol pills to ease his headaches. He started to learn all he could about Blackwatch, from infiltrating their bases to consuming their higher ups. He even mastered stealth consuming rather quickly, though one reason it happened was that Edward had to hide in plain sight most of the time Blackwatch was after him.
Then came the second week, during which he ended up meeting Alex Mercer by accident when they both ended up infiltrating the same Blackwatch base. Following a very confused meeting and escaping the base, the two end up meeting Mercer's sister Dana. There, Edward lies on how he got his powers. He says that Blackwatch caught him in the red zone and decided to experiment with him with the same serum that Mercer used. Luckily, the serum worked on Edward, giving him the same powers as Mercer, but unfortunately for Blackwatch, they underestimated him and using his new powers, he got free. The two buy his lie and from then on, he begins working with them to stop Blackwatch. The only unfortunate thing was that Edward met the duo after Mercer let Elizabeth Green loose.
During the third week, several things happened. First, both Edward and Mercer were infected by the parasite, but thankfully with Dr. Ragland's help, they were cured. Also, while Mercer was dealing with his ex, Edward decided to change something drastic in the storyline. With Dana's help, he was able to find where Heller's wife and daughter were living. It was, in Edward's opinion, pure luck that he managed to get to their house just as a group of infected were about to kill them, Edward dispatches of them quickly. He offers sanctuary to the mother and daughter duo. At first suspicious of Edward's offer, but seeing as he saved their lives, she decided to accept his help. The mother and daughter were safe with Dana in the hideout.
The rest followed the same as in the game, killing Elizabeth, with Edward and Mercer consuming her; getting help from Cross, infiltrating the aircraft carrier and Mercer consuming the General, with Edward ready to pounce Cross or the Supreme Hunter as Edward knew that was really him. However, upon Mercer consuming the General, he informed Edward about something disturbing about Cross, who was right next to them smiling with a dark smile.
In that moment, Edward realized one very dangerous and deadly consequence of using his dimensional powers. While he can go to any dimension with any parameters he wishes, that does not mean that parameters that he did not state will not change from canon. In this case, he got the proof of this consequence when Cross turned out to be Pariah himself, even though he was not Pariah in canon. Apparently in this universe, the General took Pariah and using drugs to restrict most of his abilities, turned him into what he was. Unfortunately, following his mother's demise by the two Prototypes, the Supreme Hunter found Cross and two fussed, not only giving Cross the Hunter's abilities, but also unlocking his own, turning him into the most dangerous infected of them all.
Mercer and Edward had to fight off Cross in the middle of the aircraft carrier. The battle was intense and after a long beating (Edward still feels the sting of getting hit with an F-22, almost falling into the ocean; in that moment, Edward made a mental note to consume someone who can breathe underwater later), the Prototypes were able to finally kill the bastard once and for all, and by kill, it meant that Edward and Mercer consumed half and half of Cross, this actually upgraded their powers to a whole new level. Luckily for the duo, Edward knew how to defuse the nuke aboard the carrier, thus saving the city.
During the final week, Edward along with the group were cleaning up anything left from the infected, while Dana, using the evidence gathered by Mercer and Edward, she was able to proof to the public the crimes Blackwatch and Gentek had done and had Mercer's name clear. Edward also began to create a list of future dimensions where he could get more powers, or as he called it, his 'shopping' list. (Edward calls it a shopping list because according to Billy from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, you can never get lost as long as you have your list.)
One thing that shocked Edward was that Mercer was in a relationship with his own sister. While Edward was shocked for a moment, but then he realized 'what the heck' he had no problem with that. Genetically and spiritually speaking, Alex Mercer was dead, the one alive was the virus that took sentient life and the DNA he has does not match Dana, so they are not brother and sister.
After the week was done, Edward said goodbye to the couple; and the mother and daughter, all of them thanking them for all his help. After arriving in a location that there was no one around, he made a tear back to the TB or The Between, leading to where he was right now.
"Okay, this is one adventure down, now to my next destination. Good thing I made a shopping list of places to go and where to get my next set of powers." Edward said as he mentally input the coordinates to the next dimension. A second later, a tear opens up in front of him and he quickly enters it.
Location- Unknown universe #41623
Inside of a vault, a tear appears in there. Out of the tear comes out Edward. The tear that Edward came out is still opened, since Edward realized that he might need a quick exit. He looks around the vault and sees in front of him his goal; the 12 items in question were inside a crystal display in the middle of an electrified field. Realizing that the quicker he gets the items, the better since he does not want to kill anyone in the base he was currently in.
Edward turns his left hand into its whip form and grabs on the pipe on top of the display and swings over to where the display was, hanging on in front of said display. Taking a page from an old clique, Edward transforms his right arm into claw mode and using the nails, he cuts a hole on the crystal. He takes the cut-off of crystal and puts it inside the display carefully. He then quickly takes the 12 items of the display, putting them in his jacket pocket. After taking them, he swings himself over to the border of the electric field and lands perfectly. Taking a brief look around, he immediately runs over to the tear and jumps in, just as he briefly hears the alarm in the vault starting to sound. The tear closes right after he exits the vault.
Location- The Between or TB
A tear opens in the TB and out of it comes out Edward in a hurry. The tear closes quickly afterwards. Edward, after getting his bearing correct, starts to yell out load a happy cheer.
"Yes, I got them. I got them. This will make things so much easier later on." Edward says as he puts his right hand into his jacket pocket and takes out the first item he touched. Edward smiles as he looks at the item in his hand. The item in question was a talisman, but not just any talisman, but a talisman with the engraving of a rooster. The 12 items that Edward stole were none other the 12 Talismans from Jackie Chan Adventures.
"Alright, rooster, or I used to call it in my childhood and Ed would call it, chicken. Let's try this baby out." Edward said as he made the talisman be absorbed into his body. After it was consumed, Edward could feel energy around his body, enveloping him. Taking a cue, Edward made himself levitate slowly off the ground.
"Awesome! Let's try something more shall we?" Edward said as he then began to fly forward, taking of like a bullet. Apparently, while using the rooster power, his flight speed will be like when he is using an airdash. After a minute of flying, Edward stops in mid air.
"Alright now that we got flying, let's see what else we have." Edward said as he put his hand into his pocket again and got out a second talisman, this time it was the pig. Then, just like with the rooster, Edward absorbed it into his body. Then concentrating like when he is changing views, Edward than began firing laser beams from his eyes.
"All right, laser beams. Now, what's next?" Edward said as he got the next talisman.
Edward continued the same pattern with all the other talismans (he accidently in the middle of enjoying his new powers, tested out the sheep talisman while in mid-air. To say entering your body after falling 100 feet into the ground really hurts, but thankfully there is the horse talisman that heal that quickly) except for the Tiger one, since he could not risk a dark version of himself going rouge into the multiverse.
After absorbing all the talismans and testing their powers, Edward decided to go on his next thing on his 'shopping' list.
Quickly thinking of his destination, the tear opens up in front of him. However, unlike other tears, he has opened before; this one is the size of a small insect. Edward then changes into a mosquito, which then proceeds to turn invisible and enters the tear.
Location- Unknown universe #4185
In what looked like a serene and quite night in an English small village, a small tear appears and out of it comes out an invisible mosquito. The mosquito, still buzzing around, flies around the village looking for something specific until he notices that there is an empty plot of land that for some reason his senses are acting strange. Edward quickly changes to thermal view and sees that were the empty plot of land is, there is an energy field. Realizing that he was exactly where he needs to be, Edward lands in a tree to wait for his next meal to arrive.
Two hours later, Edward hears the sound of two cracks and then he sees two people in the area. One was a tall one wearing a black cloak, who even though Edward could not see his face, he could feel the air around him be dark. The second person was a short person that remained him of a rat. These two were the people he was waiting for.
Edward quickly flies off to be near the two people. He lands quietly on the shoulder of the small man. He stays there as he the small man tells the cloaked being, who Edward now clearly sees that has red eyes like those of a snake, the address to a house. Since Edward was there when the small man told the location, he immediately saw that were the plot of empty land was a cottage appeared. Edward sees the cloaked man leave slowly for the cottage. The small man he was on was trembling and muttering. Edward was disgusted by this.
'Traitor.' Edward though as he immediately transformed into one of most dangerous insects of all time, the Egyptian Scarab from the Mummy. The man feels Edward on his shoulder, but too little too late for anything since a moment later, Edward eats his way into the man's body.
The man starts to freak out at feeling something in his body. Unfortunately, this would be the final thing he would feel since Edward, inside his body upon reaching where the man's heart was, started to eat it and spreading his black tendrils across the entire body. The process took about three seconds, but in the end, the man was consumed. Edward, in the man's small body, began to examine his memories, and more importantly, began to access the man's magical core, which was now Edward's.
'Fuck, this rat's core sure is small, how the hell was he able to cast that bloody AK spell in GOF I will never know. Also, what the heck? Bellatrix was in a secret relationship with Sirius during their school years but then she changed after she was betrothed to that Lestrange bastard. Interesting, I wonder…' Edward thought when he saw a green light coming from the first floor of the cottage. 'Shit, he has already killed him. Uh wait, that's no problem, I chose this dimension with the parameter that he was a bastard. As long as I save her, there is a chance for her and him to be together.' Edward though as he changed back to his original form, became invisible and ran, with his super speed, to the cottage.
Three seconds later, passing right past the body of the male in the first floor and the cloaked person without him noticing, Edward was inside what looked like a nursery with a red headed woman and a baby in a crib. The woman, who was obviously the mother of the baby, was telling him to not be afraid. Edward then saw the cloaked person enter the nursery with his wand in his hand. Edward, still invisible, hears the cloaked man talk.
"Step aside mudblood." The cloaked man, or as he is actually known as, Lord Voldemort, said.
"No please, not my baby. Please take me instead." Lily pleaded.
"Step aside, is only the boy I want." Voldemort said as he began to lose patience.
"No I won't step aside." Lily said.
"So be it. Avada Kad…" Voldemort was saying when all of a sudden a giant blade came out of his chest, shocking both him and Lily at what just happened. Voldemort was so shocked at this he dropped his wand on to the floor.
"What the.." Voldemort muttered as he felt blood in his mouth. He turned his head around and saw Edward, who was smirking at what he just did. Edward just impaled his right arm, which was in its blade form, into Voldemort.
"Who are you?" Voldemort managed to say.
"Me? Call me Neon. And this is your end." Edward said as he then changed his left hand into claw mode, and impaled his hand into Voldemort's neck, killing him and then Edward consumes his body just as the spirit of Voldemort went flying out of Edward's body (Edward consumed Tom's body but remained in his original form to not scare Lily)
Edward takes a moment to integrate the skills he just absorbed and increasing his newly acquired magical core he got from Wormtail by adding Voldemort's as well. A moment later, Edward finished checking out his new skills.
'Damn, even though Tom was a sick bastard, you have to admire that he knew his spells. Um, interesting, this Tom managed to learn how to fly like in the movie earlier than canon. Even though I can fly on my own thanks to the rooster talisman, the way Tom and Snape fly looks epic. I will definitely fly like that when I want to show off. Oh what is this… Hah I knew it, Bellatrix was under a mind control all along, and she is innocent. With me killing Tom, she is now free, just got to make sure that Sirius is able to save her before the Longbottom disaster.' Edward though as he was now happy that he knew how to use spells with the same expertise as Tom.
Lily just stood there, not believing what she just saw. Someone just came and using some sort of magic that turned his body into some black stuff, just killed the Dark Lord like he was nothing. She immediately after coming out of her shock grabbed baby Harry from the crib and held him with all her might, realizing that in that moment, they were saved. Lily after confirming that Harry was safe, she turned to their savior.
"Thank you so much for saving us. Who are you?" Lily asked.
"It was nothing ma'am. My name is Edward Terrance and I was just making sure you and the baby were safe due to a debt I owe Severus." Edward lied about his reason in order to put Snape into a good light for Lily to forgive and possibly get together later on.
"Sev? How do you know of Sev?" Lily asked as she held baby Harry, who was looking between Edward and his mommy.
"Let's just say that Severus was a person that looked like he needed some help in his life, unfortunately I had to erase his memory due to some bloody laws before I left. Ma'am, to be truthful, give him another chance, he deserves it. I have seen enough possible relationships end because of one mistake. By the way, your husband was a bastard and he cheated on you without any remorse." Edward said, being blunt about it.
"How can you say those things about my husband you bastard? He just died." Lily yelled at Edward.
Edward sighted as he then spoke. "I, Edward Terrance, swear on my life and magic that what I said of James Potter was the truth. So I swear, so mote it be." Edward said as he was covered in a bright light, which ended a moment later. He then raised his hand and said.
"Lumos." Edward said as his index finger generated a small light, proving that he still had his magic.
Lily could only stare in shock and disbelief as the person who not only saved her and Harry but also killed the Dark Lord, just proved by the way of an oath, that her husband was a bastard and that he cheated on her.
"No that can't be. It's not true." Lily said as she started to sob at the revelation.
"Like I said ma'am, it's the truth. Also, nobody knew about it, not even Sirius. If he knew about it, he would have made James suffer for his betrayal, you can trust him. Now, I must be leaving, I already took care of the rat traitor so don't worry about him. Severus will be here soon, trust him, but just say that someone came and incapacitated the Dark Lord for now." Edward said.
"Incapacitated? What do you mean just incapacitated? I just saw you eat him." Lily said, skeptical in her tone of voice.
"He is not dead. Ask Sirius, Dumbledore, 'thank God I choose that the Dumbledore in this dimension is a good guy' or the Goblins about what a Horcrux is." Edward said as he saw Lily's face pale at mentioning the word Horcrux.
"Ah, so you know of it. Good, that makes it easier. For the record, he made six." Edward said.
"SIX? HE MADE SIX HORCRUXES!?" Lily screamed out that last part. Surprisingly, Harry only looked at his mother funny.
"Yep. And if I had not stopped him tonight, he would have used Harry's life for a seventh one. One moment. Accio vial" Edward said with his left hand up. A moment later, a vial came to his hand. Edward then put his finger on his forehead and upon concentrating; a white strand came out of his forehead with his finger. He put the strand into the vial. He then approached Lily and gave her vial, which she took with caution.
"In there are the most important memories of Voldemort. I included where he put all of his horcruxes. However, there is one that was taken from its hiding place. Tell Sirius that his brother was a good guy in the end and to ask the elf Kreacher for the locket. Also tell him that Bella is not responsible for what she did, she was being mind controlled, that she and Sirius have a chance at a future together. Understand?" Edward said in a tone that made Lily take his command very seriously.
"Yes. I understand." Lily said as she held the vial in her hand.
"Very well. I will take my leave. Remember what I said. If they asked who did this, just say that a person called Neon did the deed. I will take this." Edward said as he knelt down to the floor and took Tom's wand.
"Wait. Will we see you again?" Lily asked.
Edward looked at her and smiled at her a bit. "Maybe. Who knows? Life itself is a very long journey." Edward said as a tear appeared in front of him, surprising Lily and awe-shocking little Harry.
"Well, see ya." Edward said happily as he jumped into the tear, leaving behind a shocked mother and a happy baby, one who Edward swears that called him by his nickname just as he was jumping into the tear.
Location- TB
A tear opens back in the TB and from it comes out Edward. He takes a moment to balance himself. After that he begins speaking out loud.
"Okay, now let's see if my theory works. Since technically I can absorb the properties of living organism, then absorbing the wand should be same, since wood and the feather are part from an organic being. If it works I will be able to cast any spell without a wand since I will be the wand itself. Well, here goes nothing." Edward said as he made the wand in his hand be consumed into his body. After doing that, he suddenly felt a warm and good sensation across his body, and if the books are anything to go by, this meant that it was a good thing. After taking a moment to calm down, Edward decides to test his new power.
"Alright, I will probably later on be able to cast spells wordless but for now this will have to do. I wonder…" Edward said as he thought of a spell he could use first. He lets his newly acquired Occlumency shields, who are a great help in terms of managing memories, down a bit to let one of his happiest memories come out, one where he enjoyed a game with his two closest friends.
"Expecto Patronum!" Edward yelled out loud while having his right arm up. A second later, out of his hand comes out something very shocking. Edward though he would at least get the mist shield, but he did not expect that his happy memory would produce a corporal Patronus on his first try.
Standing in front of him, in the form of a patronus, was a dragon the size of a two story house. The dragon looked directly at Edward, who could feel the calmness and happiness that came from the dragon in full force. The dragon, after looking at Edward let out a massive roar and then disappears.
"Okay that is one spell down. Damn, I am thirsty." Edward said as he put held his right hand up and made one of the numerous water canisters soldiers carry appear. He then, after opening the tap; on it puts two of his left fingers inside the empty canister.
"Aguamenti." Edward casts the spell and from his fingers comes out water, filling the canister. After filling the canister, Edward ends the spell and drinks the entire canister of water.
"Damn, I was really thirsty. Good thing that consuming a person also counts as eating. Now, let's see if I can do Apparition. Good thing I can just regrow body parts in case I end up splinching myself." Edward says as he concentrates on moving to another side of TB he was seeing in front of him. One moment later, Edward feels as though being sent through a tight rubber tube, and a moment later, a crack is heard and Edward appears where he wanted, though he did end up losing a bit of his left arm, which instantly heals.
"Harry was right; it does feel like going through a tube. It works and the injuries I can deal with but I got to make it so that I can use it without leaving a single sound. Oh well. Now that I got that covered, let's go the next item of the list." Edward said as he then cast a Notice Me Not charm on himself and then made himself invisible just in case. He then thinks of the parameters for the next world. A tear opens in front of him and he enters it.
Location- Unknown Universe #555655
The tear opens up in an alleyway in what looked like a Japanese village in the middle of the night and out of it comes out Edward, and then the tear closes up from behind him. Edward looks around and using his senses he can already feel that he was in the correct place, especially if the sounds of water moving rapidly around the village mean anything.
He starts to walk around the village, looking for a bar, keeping his invisibility and charms on at all times. After walking for about 20 minutes, he finally comes across the bar, and from what he can see, he was in the right place, if the numerous people wearing headbands with a spiral in it, was any indication. He does not have to wait long since out of the bar comes out a red haired person, who has obvious signs of being drunk. Edward quickly goes behind the guy and cast Imperio on him. He orders him to go a nearby alleyway. The mind controlled person does what he is told. Once inside the alleyway, Edward quickly decides what to do.
'Let's hope what they say of them turns out to be truth. I am sorry for this.' Edward though sadly as he cast a quick stupefy at the drunk red head, just in case he breaks out of the Imperio; and said red head falls into the ground. Edward quickly runs to the unconscious person and wasting no time, he consumed him. A moment later, in the red head's form, Edward examines his newest power.
'Perfect, an Uzumaki, one that is a jonin; just what I wanted, uh a sensor as well, interesting. And from what I gather about his chakra, it's kage level. And he knows Kage Bushin, excellent. I better get out of here before the ANBU find out about this.' Edward though as he then quickly ran to a nearby alleyway and two seconds later opens a tear back into the TB. Edward enters it quickly.
Location- TB
A tear opens up once more and out of it comes Edward, still in his newest victim's form. The tear closes up after his arrival. Edward then changes back to his original form and drops his invisibility.
"Ok, now that I have Shinobi abilities, let's try this." Edward said as he concentrated on the chakra he now has and using the skills of the one he consumed, performs the hand seal for Kage Bushin. For this, Edward decided to pump as much chakra as he could to see how many clones he could create. Two seconds later, a large cloud of smoke appear in front of him and once it was gone, Edward was surprised to see 50 of him. He and his clones look at each other for several moments until they act and move at the same time by saying.
"Oh yeah, it works. This is awesome." They all said while pumping their right arms into the air. After calming down, Edward decides to test out how much is the limit to the jutsu. He approaches a clone and changing his right arm into claw mode, he swipes the clone, which makes him poof out of existence. A second later, Edward receives the clone's memories without any problem.
"Okay, that is one theory down, now for the other one. One of you, try to open a tear on your own to a populated but safe place. Once there, consume somebody and once you do that poof out." Edward ordered.
One of the clones walks forward and after a moment of concentrating, a tear opens up in front of him and he quickly enters it. The tear closes after the clone leaves.
"Now we wait." Edward said as he and the clones waited for some type of response.
Half an hour later, Edward receives the memories from the clone, who consumed a thug that was about to kill an innocent bystander he was robbing.
"Okay, so I can send clones to consume people into other dimensions and still receive their skills, which will be most helpful. Ok, now, there is one power that came into mind while waiting for this test's results. I will be going personally to collect this. While I am gone, I want one clone to go and consume power number 9 from the list. Once you have it, poof out. The rest of you I want you to train by doing chakra control, which all of you know that doing that will allow us to increase our chakra. Now, half of you henge into trees and the other half practice tree walking with them. Continue until I get back or until you tire. Is that clear?" Edward ordered.
"Yes sir." The clones said together and got to work.
Edward nodded at this and quickly though of the dimension he wanted to go and the tear opened up in front of him. Edward walked towards it and entered it.
Location- Unknown universe #3660022
A tear opens up and Edward comes out of it, but he then realizes that he made a mistake, the tear opened up in the middle of the sky.
"Oh shit!" Edward yelled as he fell down toward the earth or as Edward was seeing in front of him, into the water.
"Crapppppp. Oh wait, I can fly." Edward said as he started to fly like Voldemort does for a while, just enjoying the sensation of flying through the air. After a while, he decides to get to work and using his new sensor abilities, he tries to find his target. After a minute in his trance, he finds what he is looking for.
"Gotcha you little bugger." Edward said as he then turned himself invisible and went supersonic to where his target was.
Ten minutes later, Edward finds a fleet of military ships. Edward looks around and finds the only aircraft carrier in the fleet. He approaches it and floats right on top of it. Edward is contemplating on what to do.
'Ok, let's see, either I can enter the ship and super speed searching the entire ship. And the second option is to wait until the lazy spy decides to ditch the battle when the overgrown fish attacks. The first one would take time and the second one might be fun. But then again, oh wait there is that spell…' Edward though as he then lifted his right hand and said.
"Accio Kaji's briefcase." Edward said with a small tone of being unsure that it was the correct thing to say. Ten seconds pass and nothing happens, but then from where he was floating, Edward sees something coming directly at him. Edward braces himself and catches the item, which turns out to be the briefcase he wanted.
"Excellent. Now to get the heck out of here." Edward said as he opened up a tear back to TB. He quickly entered.
Location- TB
A tear once again opens up and out of it comes out Edward, holding on to the briefcase. The tear closes behind him. Edward sets the case on the floor and looks around and sees the clones still working out.
Edward orders them to poof out at the same time, not worrying about the memory overload since he is accustomed to consuming multiple people at the same time. The clones two seconds later comply with the order and poof out, Edward receiving their experience. Edward takes a moment to examine his chakra and is pleased to see that it has increased a bit more than last time and has better control over it.
Just as he is going to set the next destination, he receives the memories from the clone he sent to acquire power number 9. Edward upon examining his new set of skills, he is pleased that his idea worked. He now has the powers of a Kryptonian, meaning that the next phase of his plan is possible. One good thing of having Kryptonian powers with his Prototype powers was that since he can control all his cells, he can modify them to be immune to Kryptonite.
Edward picks up the case from the floor and immediately thinks and opens up a tear to a new place. Edward walks into the tear.
Location- Mass Effect Universe #1235000
Timeline- Following departure of the Reapers after Prothean Cycle
Planet- One of those numerous planets that Shepard visits in ME2 for resources
A tear opens up in a clearing and Edward walks out of it, still carrying the briefcase. The tear closes behind him. Edward looks around the place and places the briefcase on the ground. He then makes the Kage Bushin Jutsu, which results in 100 clones appearing in the clearing.
Edward looks at the gathered army of clones.
"You all know the plan. While I go and absorb Adam's powers, the rest of you will practice with the current powers in different realms, as well get more powers and equipment from the list. Just remember, under no circumstances you are to go to any realities where higher beings can know of our arrivals, for example the Stargate Universe, the Trekverse or Babylon 5 universe, unless one of us finds something that blocks their views, if so, go there. Got it?" Edward yelled.
"Yes sir." The clones said out loud.
"Alright then, disperse." Edward ordered as each clone opened up a tear and each went in.
A few moments later, Edward puts the briefcase on the ground and opens it up, releasing a small vapor cloud. Upon the cloud dispersing, Edward takes his first look at Adam's frozen embryo.
Sighting, Edward morphed his right hand to claw mode, rip off the dura-bakelite case where the embryo was frozen in, having it in the palm of his hand.
"Well, time start the next Impact." Edward said as he then, using his super strength, crushed the case and absorbed the embryo. One second nothing happened, but then Edward felt his entire body on pain, a pain a whole lot worse than all previous injuries he has ever received combined.
One moment, Edward is screaming when it stopped. A short but long moment of silence, a massive yellow explosion occurred, covering nearly half the planet but then the light continued to expand across the entire planet. The yellow light was the Anti A.T. Field Adam generated when Second Impact occurred. Only this time, there was nobody to stop the Impact and due to Edward choosing the planet, there was no living being on the planet, so nobody died. From the middle of the explosion appear 2 massive wings, one in sapphire blue while the other one in blood red. They flat for a few moments when they suddenly retreat back into the origin of the blast.
Then the Anti A.T. Field retracted to where it began, leaving a giant dome of blue and red energy the size of Antarctica.
The only reason why he was still alive was because of the combination of his Blacklight, Kryptonian, Uzumaki powers and the Dog and Horse talismans. They kept him alive while later on he learned that the Tiger Talisman somehow kept his sanity intact.
So, right now, his body, which is in a state of unstable energy, inside the energy dome, is trying to adapt to its new powers, which would take years to complete. However, just because he is immobile, does not mean he is out.
Location- Edward's Mindscape
Edward was starting to wake up and realizes he was on the floor.
'Dammit, I feel like have been hit with F-22 a thousand times followed by crashing into a building 100 times, which actually happened.' Edward thought as he tried to get his headache under control.
"Okay, so this is my mindscape huh. Well, at least it's not a sewer." Edward said as he got up from the floor and started to look around carefully.
He was standing in an empty void of darkness. Looking around he realized one thing about mindscapes.
"Hey, wait a minute; this is my mind, so I should be able to control it." Edward said as he concentrated and around him, his mindscape changed and in its place was an exact replica of the Illusive Man's office. Edward walked toward where the seat was and taking one close look at it, he decided to change it. The seat changed to that of the seat Tom from Toonami uses.
Satisfied with that, he sits in the chair and immediately in front of him numerous holograms (ME style) appear before him, each showing different things, like what his clones were doing in the outside world or memories from the people he has absorbed.
Edward then notices that where the sun is supposed to be the Web of Intrigue is there; the entire web together forming a small star for now. The Web's or Sun has multiple colors, though the primary ones are black and red, with some small patches of blue.
"Interesting way for my mind to make access to my new powers easier. Oh well, I am going to be stuck here for a few years, might as well get used to it. At least I can order my clones out there to do what I want them to from here." Edward said while smirking. He then began to speak an order.
"Access Adam's DNA." Edward ordered.
"Accessing Adam DNA… Access granted." A computerized female voice said.
"Search, separate and compile all the different Angel variants." Edward ordered due to the fact that since all the other Angels came from Adam, then their DNA aka powers should be possible to gain them.
"Searching…..DNA Strands found, beginning separation and compilation of Strands. One moment...Done."
Then, in front of Edward, in different screens are shown 16 different creatures, along with brief summary of them.
(For the record, the lineup that is used is from the anime; also Lilith and Tabris are not among them.)
"This is only the beginning." Edward said with a smile on his face as he began to receive detailed information about each Angel.
Hope you enjoyed this story.
Please review (I will take even 'Good chapter') and give me ideas on what you would like to see.
Also, hope that you might actually liked the change to the ending.
I might end this story in the next chapter. Say in a review which universe would you like to see Neon get involved in.
