Hey guys. You probably expected this at a later date. Well truth be told, I am on holiday right now and will be starting school soon. Once school starts, I doubt I will even have time to even conceive a proper chapter, much less type it out. Anyway, this will be a double upload (Yay), so I hope it makes up for an extended absence.
So without further ado, on with the chapter...
Secret Hideout, RWBYverse,
Cinder tapped her finger against her crossed arms. She hated waiting. The Major had not checked in in quite a while, leaving Cinder with a less then functional group of overpowered misfits.
"Do be patient Miss Fall," Funny said as he took another sip of tea. "The Major is a man of many flaws, but he always finishes what he starts."
"How are you so sure?" Cinder asked with a sneer, exposing her fangs.
"Meruem challenged him to a game of chess a few weeks ago. They finished the game 3 days ago. Meruem won, of course."
"I expect nothing less coming from the lizard."
"Chimera Ant, actually."
"What?"
"A Chimera Ant. That's what Meruem is. I read about his species from a book I acquired from his universe."
Cinder looked at the creature of interest across the room. He was challenging Akuma to a game of shogi. She thought of how different the two were. Their species, their motives, where they are from… They came from places with such different laws and powers. The worlds that they know could not be any more different, but they are still able to play a simple game common to both worlds.
Then, it hit Cinder. "Funny, how are you able to traverse universes?"
The older man paused for a moment, then placed his cup back onto its saucer.
"Well, it's hard to explain… You see where I come from, there are these things called corpse pieces. When you obtain a corpse piece, you are given the ability of a Stand. My stand, D4C (Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap), is able to alternate through universes. Though, the general law is that two of the same objects from different universes cannot collide or both will paradoxically cease to exist."
Cinder pondered for a minute. "Funny, these 'Stands'… if I wish to acquire one, what do I have to do?"
Funny blinked at Cinder. He never thought the lady in red would ever take intrest ins something so trivial. "But Miss Fall, you're already a Vampire.' Wouldn't it be a little overkill for you to be both a Vampire and a Stand User?"
"What I seek is power, Mr. Valentine. I don't care what kind it is." Cinder declared.
Funny sighed. "If that is you wish… I do recall a certain Stand making arrow from a Universe before my own…"
"No."
"I beg your pardon?"
"No. I don't just want any kind of Stand. I want the one that took Esdeath down."
Funny tried to recall the battle at Beacon Academy. "Ah yes, I remember. The Vampuric Stand user clad in yellow. I have done my research on him. His name is Dio Brando, and he comes from a time long before my own."
"Dio Brando… I will remember that name."
Minutes later, White Fang Training Room,
"Are you sure you're willing to go through with this, Miss Fall?" Funny double checked.
"I am absolutely certain." Cinder reassured.
Funny could sense the confidence in Cinder's voice. He understood that she was determined to get what she wanted, but he failed to comprehend the lengths she would go to reach her goals.
"Alright then, let's go over the plan again. I'll summon the Stand User, and then you'll attempt to drink his blood without getting pummeled to death. Does that sound like a good plan?" Funny questioned.
"Don't worry, it will be over before you know it." The lady in red replied.
After reassuring himself that Cinder was ready, Funny pulled out a full sized American flag and wrapped it around himself, disappearing beneath it. The flag gently glided to the ground, leaving Cinder alone in the room. Moments later, the flag started to move again. It was lifted off the ground and flew aside, revealing two figures that came stumbling out.
"What is the meaning of this Valentine?!" One of the figures exclaimed.
"Do take solace in the fact that this is not personal, Diego."
"I've had enough of your tricks, Valentine! I'm going to end you! THE WO-"
Diego was abruptly interrupted by a burning sensation in his chest. He looked down and was horrified to find a bloodied hand coming out of his chest.
"Wha-?"
Before he could speak, Diego felt another burning sensation. This time, it was coming from his shoulder. He looked to his side and saw Cinder firmly biting down on his neck. The Vampire wasted no time draining Diego of all his blood. As he felt the life slowly being drained from his body, Diego made a last-ditch effort to retaliate. He tried to summon his Stand, THE WORLD, but it never appeared.
"Trying to summon your Stand?" Cinder asked in a mocking tone. "How unfortunate for you. It's mine now…"
As Diego slipped from Cinder's grip, his lifeless body hit the ground with a thud. Cinder savored every last drop of blood, as she licked it from her fingertips. Funny approached the Vampire in red with caution.
"How do you feel, Miss Fall?"
Cinder turned to the president in pink. She stared him down before uttering two words.
"THE… WORLD…"
Before the president could blink, Cinder disappeared before him. He looked around the room frantically before feeling a dark presence behind him. A sinister chuckle followed soon after. Funny turned around, only to see Cinder grinning from ear to ear. Behind her was a yellow humanoid hovering a few inches above the ground.
Funny was amazed by the sight before him. "I must say, I did not expect this to work."
"Then your mind is small," Cinder mocked. "One must expect the unexpected if they are to triumph over their enemies."
"Well, if one thing is to be expected from you Miss Fall, it's that you are most certainly one of the most daring individuals I have ever met."
Cinder grinned.
"I think we're finally ready for round 3, Alucard…"
Gem Homeworld, Hellsing Ultiverse,
In the vacuum of space, three planets circled each other. Orbiting around them, were the wreckages of once functional spacecrafts. On the planets' surface, a war was taking place. A war between the World Eaters and Ajimu's summoned forces. On the bright surfaced planet, Angron stood above an enemy Jasper. He raised his battle axe in the air and swung downwards, destroying the Gem in front of him and splitting the ground behind her. He relished the kill, but was somewhat disappointed by the being's lack of blood. What Angron enjoyed most was walking over the corpses of his dead enemies, as they swam in an ocean of their own blood. The inhabitants of the planet were not enough to satisfy the Primach's thirst for blood. Luckily for the World Eater though, a worthier challenge called for him.
Above him hovered several Republic Star Destroyers. From the ships, smaller aerial vehicles flew out and descended upon the planet. From those smaller ships, waves of clone troopers poured out, bringing suppressing fire with them. Angron smiled as he pushed forward. Something smelt different about the clone troopers. Something smelt of… blood. With his men following closely behind him, Angron charged forward, towards the clones.
"Captain, they're headed straight for us!" One of the clones called out.
"Suppressive fire, now!" The captain responded.
The clones laid down a barrage of laser fire, but it barely slowed the World Eaters down. Angron was the first to lay waste to the clone platoon. He swung his axe around, slicing open the clones like a hot knife through butter. The remainder of the clones screamed in terror as the other World Eaters tore them apart limb from limb.
Angron continued his assault on the troopers, until he felt a strong presence from one of the ships. The ship in question had landed not too far away from him. From the ship, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker emerged.
The Primach was filled with an emotion akin to delight. Finally, a challenge. He thought to himself. Angron was just about to engage the two Jedi, when a new portal opened. The Primach scowled as he halted his assault.
What now?
What came out the portal, shocked Angron to the core.
Unknown Location, Unknown Universe,
Primus floated in the vast expanse of space. He stared motionless at the stars and planets around him. Beside him was Master Hand, fixing a broken component in his arm. Primus enjoyed watching the universe as it continued to expand, change, and become something new with every passing moment. He appreciated the life that was given to him, the life that allowed him to experience such a wonderful sight.
After Master Hand did the finishing touches to Primus' arm, it hovered before the titanic machine and gave him a thumb up. Primus looked at his new arm and examined it. After assuring that it was patched up nicely, he proceeded to shake Master Hand in appreciation. After letting go of the latter, he continued staring at the vast expanse of space, with Master Hand joining him.
The two of them laid there for a moment, silently enjoying the view. When suddenly, a violent wave of energy shook the both of them out of rest. They faced towards the location of the large energy wave. Just then, a large tear in space was formed, and out from the tear, a bright cosmic entity passed through.
"The Six-Fold God?" Primus muttered.
Indeed, it was the Six-Fold God, in all of its glory. The ruler of countless multiverses and one of the Guardians of Time. His presence in lower dimensional space could only mean one thing, trouble. Trouble in higher dimensional space. A place where the Pantheon of Gods held no power. Thus, they invested the help of the Six-Fold God to alert them of any problems relating to higher dimensional space.
The Six-Fold God drew ever closer to Master Hand and Primus. It stopped just meters away from the two of them. The entity had a vague expression on its face. The entity took a moment to compose itself, before finally speaking. What came next devastated both Master Hand and Primus.
"The Emperor has fallen."
