David was walking around his ship until he spotted Chilly and Vividria.
"Hey guys. A little nervous?" David asked.
"A little… I didn't expect to get pulled into something like this." Vividria said.
"It's pretty much par for the course for people like us. We're used to it." David said.
"I kind of envy you, in a way. You get to travel to many different lands and see new sights. If only I could go with you guys. I'd have more material for my art." Vividria said before noticing Chilly pointing at David's back. "I think Chilly is interested in your sword."
"My sword?" David asked drawing the Soul Calibur replica.
"It can't be… The legendary Spirit Sword, Soul Calibur?" Vividria asked.
"Well, not quite. It may look like the real thing, but it's actually just a replica." David said.
Chilly then blew cold air onto it as the sword was now coated in ice.
"Whoa-ho! Now it definitely feels like the real thing. Thanks a bunch, Chilly." David said.
"Actually, if it's okay with you, I was thinking of making a few paintings on it. Some of them with you posing." Vividria said.
"You sure? I heard your paintings tend to come to life." David said.
"Well, that's true in an sense. My ability stems from my sibling Paintra. The Hope Squad and Dimensional Heroes may know her… they whipped her butt when they were chasing Taranza down." Vividria said.
"Oh, right. I've heard about that." David said. "But… If you're certain about it, then sure. I think I can handle being the subject of a few of your paintings."
"Oh, this is gonna be great!" Vividria said in glee.
While this went on…
"Wow...never thought we would ever be planet hopping. This is awesome." Hope said.
"Remember, this is serious. We need to stop the mages and defeat this...Hyness character." Rarity said.
"Also to...whoa." Izuku said as the emblem glowed brighter.
"Amazing. Where is it leading?" Hydron asked.
"It's...over on that planet." Izuku said pointing to an orange and yellow planet that seemed to be in perpetual autumn.
"According to the scanners, the planet is known as Earthfall." Mari said. "Makes sense since it's like Autumn there."
"Well the emblem thinks one of the Olympos XII are there." Izuku said. "So touch down."
As the ships prepared to land, Law was in the infirmary analysing the heart he had with him.
"Hey Law, were about to touch down on Planet Earthfall, you coming?" Yumi asked before looking at the heart Law was analyzing. "What's up?"
Law glared at the heart before stabbing into it. "Didn't even occur to me his heart was already swapped out."
"You mean that's not Marcus's real heart?" Yumi asked.
"No. It's the heart of a primate. His heart must have been swapped out before I even pulled the switch." Law said. "Damn bastard. Well...I had a feeling he might have pulled a move like this, that's why I went with plan B." He said holding another.
"Wait, who's heart is that?" Yumi asked.
"I'd rather not tell. Let's just say it's someone important to the coalition." Law said.
"Okay, let's just leave it at that." Yumi said. "C'mon, we might finally have a blip on one of the Olympos XII."
"Fine. I'm coming." Law said hiding it away as he grabbed his sword.
Landing on the Planet Earthfall, the heroes disembarked alongside the others. The planet seemed to be inhabited by plant creatures as well as bugs and insects.
"Wow, just look at this place." Sectonia said.
"Gonta know. Forest looks so grand." Gonta said.
"Yeah. Are you sure another of the Olympos XII is here, Izuku?" Stahn asked.
"It's glowing the brightest here so it has to be." Izuku said.
As they looked about the planet, they soon befriended a few bug enemies mainly Beetley, Bugzzy and Como. It wasn't until further they saw something out of place, a massive green forest in the middle of an orange one.
"What is that?" Maya asked.
"Strange. This planet is suppose to be all orange and yellow and red. But yet, a single forest of green." Jeremie said.
"No...it's not a forest." Luna said. "I know who the member we're hunting for is." She said as the ground began to shake.
"Is this an earthquake?!" Nana said.
"No...she must be waking up." Luna said as they got back as the forest was rising into the air. The group looked up in awe as they saw a gigantic dirt bird creature as it flew in the sky.
"That's...the goddess of Agriculture and Fertility. Ceresmon." Hoopa said.
"Ceresmon! You're okay!" Luna said.
"Who are you?" A voice echoed.
"I know you don't recognize me, but it's me, Dianamon." Luna said.
"Begone, liar." Ceresmon said. "You are not Dianamon. Your energy is far too weak to be her. Now...I must be off." It said flying off towards the ships. "I must destroy those affronts to nature!"
"Hold on a second there. We have no reason to fight you. In fact, we need your help." David said.
"See the titans, they…" Hope began.
"I know of the Titans return. It is not my concern. You humans got yourselves in this problem. It should be done with by you." Ceresmon said.
"You don't understand! The Titans are hunting you and the other Members! Grimoire and Shirokumi they're…" Hope said.
"Those two? Why should I concern myself with inheritors of the death gods? Grimoire isn't even high tier." Ceresmon said.
"You really are arrogant. Do you see this?" David asked taking out Masakado. "With this blade, I can slice any god to slivers. Don't make me use it on you."
"You dare to threaten me?" Ceresmon said. "You dare make yourself an enemy of nature itself?!" She said.
"You were going to destroy our ships. You made an enemy of us first." David said.
"And how could you not recognize Luna? Her power may have been weakened but she's still Dianamon." Ace said.
"Be silent, Nephilim. Same as you, Half Lunarian." Ceresmon said.
"Please, we don't have to fight! We can…!" Hope started.
"You people do not see? You are the…" Ceresmon said. "You are a virus. Your kind destroys nature. All of it always dying because you humans and your machines harm it. Machines must go."
''Wait…" Shiozaki said stepping up. "Please...do not harm anyone please."
"You….you have a strong kinship with nature." Ceresmon said.
"Yes. I want to be a hero so I can protect others and nature. So please. Just...hear my plea." Shiozaki said.
The bird then landed as it lowered it's head. Emerging from the head was a humanoid creature with claws on her hands and feet as she approached. "Very well."
"Thanks, Shiozaki. This would've gone on forever if you hadn't stepped in." David said.
"Wait...so this is the real body?!" Hope said.
"Yes. The body behind me is more of an avatar, carrying one of the last remaining fruit forests that humanity hasn't tainted." Ceresmon said.
"Ceresmon…" Luna said with a sad look.
"You are not Dianamon. I do not believe you. But, I am touched by your friend's plea for nature. There are very few humans nowadays that hardly respect it." Ceresmon said.
"That much is understandable. I can see why you were so ticked off at the sight of our ships." David said sheathing Masakado.
"Please understand, I was only concerned with protecting the planet. No more, no less." Ceresmon said.
"Look...about the titans…" Hope said.
"Yes, I know of them. They decimated many worlds eons ago. Many different gods, even ones who were supposed to protect nature. I and the others turned them to stone that day. But in my opinion, all of them should have been wiped out permanently." Ceresmon said.
"Trust me. Some of us feel the same way. The problem is, the four of us were the only ones capable of hurting them." David said motioning to Jexi, Hope and Sectonia.
"We have Masakado, and our God Modes. The problem is our allies don't have the power to help us." Hope said.
"So, that leaves the question, what are the rest of us doing besides trying not to lose it?" Scott asked.
"You wish to be able to harm the titans. Hmm. I suppose there is no way around it. I will have to bestow the power to harm titans upon you all." Ceresmon said.
"Wait, can that even be done? Is that even a thing?" Zephyr asked.
"It can and will be done." Ceresmon said raising her arms as branches from the forest on her avatar's back extended presenting many fruits. "These fruits are special. Eating them will allow the power to harm the titans to become yours for as long as they remain immortal and unable to be harmed."
"Thank you. This is most helpful." Leonora said.
"Indeed. Eat one each. After doing so, I will take my leave of this world." Ceresmon said.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Right Ace?" Kazuichi said.
"I'm sorry but… The blades in my vision…" Ace said.
"Ace, didn't you hear her? Once we eat these fruits, were about as capable at fighting those Titans as David and the others are. You and your brothers don't need those blades anymore." Zelos said.
"It's literally a no brainer decision here." Dan said.
"H-hey, Ceresmon? Do you mind if we have a few more. I have a feeling we'll run into some people who'll need them." Shiozaki said.
"Like me for instance." Hope said. "My exchange pick's on the way."
"For you, youngling of nature, you are welcome to pick as many as you wish." Ceresmon said.
"Thank you very much." Shiozaki said.
"I will have you know that I rarely show my true form to others. Only to those I feel I can trust. You being one of them." Ceresmon said as a path opened to the forest.
"Thank you." Shiozaki said heading inside.
"And what is it you are called?" Ceresmon asked.
"I am the hero Maria." Shiozaki said entering.
The others followed Shiozaki into the forest as Ceresmon went back to her avatar form and took leave of Planet earthfall.
"Thank you, SO much Shiozaki. Being turned into fertilizer wasn't something i wanted to do today." Hope said before he and the others except Shiozaki were ejected. "What the?"
"Forgive me, but I am only allowing her to enter." Ceresmon said.
"Oh… okay then."
"Looks like it's all you, Shiozaki. Get as many as you can." David said.
Shiozaki nodded, continuing on on her own.
"I'm sorry everyone. I just felt a bit under that's all." Ace said.
"About what?" David asked.
"About taking the fruit or not it's just…" Ace trailed off before he closed his eyes.
"I understand how you feel. You didn't want to be a burden. I felt the same way on our first trip to Glenwood." David said.
"Ace, if there''s one thing I've learned, it's not any weapon, skill or power that makes you." Hope said. "It's about heart, guts, and best of all… friendship. We all have your back, and that is never going to change."
"He's right. It's the one thing we will never lose no matter what." Jexi said.
"Right, but...I'm still a rookie, what if I get careless and let you get hurt? I don't want that to happen." Ace said.
"Oh, so you feel like you want to get stronger eh?" Hope said. "I think I know a way for you to gain experience and become stronger. A Solo Journey."
"You mean by myself?" Ace asked.
"Oh, no, not really. You, and Spirit Force." Hope said. "Trust me, these kinds of outings make you stronger. Jexi usually does it all the time when he needs to get stronger."
"I think you're right. After we're done here, I'm gonna explore more worlds on the way to the Sky Universe. Just so you guys know...I'll miss you." Ace said as he held his arm.
"We will too. Just make sure to keep up the good fight. You're a good kid, Ace. Get better and better." Connor said.
"Alright. And I'm going to help Luna get her power back, it's a promise." Ace said as he teared up a bit.
"Just try not to do anything...reckless." Aelita said before Shiozaki returned with a bag filled with fruits.
"Welcome back." Anna said.
"Have you all taken what you have desired? If that is so...I shall take my leave." Ceresmon said.
"Farewell, Ceresmon. Stay vigilant of the titans." A voice said as Titan appeared.
"I do not need warning, Eidolon. We are much stronger then ye shall ever be." Ceresmon said taking to the air. "But before I go...keep in mind. What I said was true. Grimoire is one of the weaker ones. The one to be cautious of is the one who leads them...the one inheriting the power of the ruler god...Jupiter. They are known as...Centurion." She said before vanishing in the sky.
"The powers of the Roman God of lightning. Great…" David said.
"Shouldn't it technically be Zeus because Jupiter's already taken?" Hope said.
"Uh...you do realize Zeus and Jupiter are pretty much the same in mythology right?" Sonia asked.
"He also controls the sky and weather too right, Jupiter I mean." Mari said.
"That's right. Looks like we won't catch a break against these guys either." Kurochi said.
Just then a huge tree with red leaves roared as it opened its mouth.
"Ugh, not now." Bakugo said blowing it up in seconds.
"Well, that was redundant." Tapu Bulu said.
"Doesn't matter. Thing ruined a good moment." Bakugo said.
"And our job is done here. On to the next planet." Tapu Lele said.
"And its name is Misteen." Mari said as she pulled up an image of a water sphere-like planet.
"Now...let's just head on and…what the?" Ochako said noticing some food bags on the ground of the ship.
"Ah finally. Food after so long." Said a strange being in blue with yellow eyes before it noticed the group. "Uh...hi."
"Magolor!" Dedede said trying to smash the creature as it ran.
"How are you alive?!" B Waddle Dee asked.
"Come on. So I tried to take over the universe. No big deal." Magolor said.
"You tricked us into helping you defeat an innocent dragon." Meta Knight yelled trying to hit him with Galaxia.
"Wow… I really missed out on a lot, didn't I?" Sectonia asked.
"According to this, Magolor was from a different planet and…" Mari began.
"Uh uh. No need to listen to lies from some...subpar scientist. I'm legit." Magolor said.
"You're the liar! You are from Halacandra aren't you?!" Dedede demanded continuing to try and smash Magolor.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Hope said. "It's obvious there's still some bad blood between you and Magolor, but I don't think he's here to rub it in, or fight us for that matter! He just wanted to eat. But… how did you survive getting cut into pieces by Kirby?"
"Well...after I was defeated, I was left drifting in space for quite a bit of time. Until I landed on this planet. I was stuck here till I saw those ships. So my plan was fill my belly with something other than bugs, steal the ship and escape into the cosmos." Magolor said.
"Like you could. Our ships have advanced security." Hope said.
"Actually we shut them off because we were the only ones suppose to be intelligent on this planet." Asuna said.
"Not that security was Hope's thing anyway." Mayumi said.
"Ouch…" Hope said. "But anyway, we're in no mood for a fight, and you aren't either."
"I promise not to betray you again if I come with you, I swear!" Magolor said as he bowed to Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, and B Waddle Dee.
"Fine. We'll take him. But if he double crosses us, I get to shoot him into space." Dedede said.
"Get in line big boy, he called me a subpar scientist." Mari said before she was bonked on the head again.
"Well, you're on board, Magolor. Better behave yourself." Leanne said.
"So shall we head to planet Misteen then?" Leviathan asked.
"Indeed." Hope said.
