No point in setting up an introduction. Let's get back into it!

OMNI FORCE: WAR

"Ergh!" Zoro grunted, using his Armament Haki-coated swords to block the fiery fists of Natsu, who continued to charge at him in a furious rage.

"FIRE DRAGON KING…" he started to bellow, charging his right fist before releasing a huge stream of flames from it, "DEMOLITION FIST!" he roared as he unleashed a powerful punch onto the crossed blades of his opponent, creating a strong burst of wind. As the swordsman could feel his feet sliding back, he suddenly heard the sound of metal cracking, causing him to widen his eyes that his Sandai Kitetsu was breaking apart from the force of his foe's attack.

"Agh!" he yelped as he was blasted back by the ferocious strike of his foe, slamming into another wall hard and letting out a pained grunt through clenched teeth.

"Huh…" the dragon slayer breathed out as steam emitted from his right hand.

"Natsu!" Luffy cried out, catching his attention as he saw him run over to him, "I can finish things with Zoro here," he promised as he squatted down and pressed his right fist against the floor, "You go help Rogue!" he advised loudly as his arm pumped like a piston, causing steam to flow from his skin as it became a light pink once more.

"Rogue?" the Fairy Tail member uttered in confusion. Just then, he heard the sound of a loud crash from afar, seeing a Plumber craft get sliced clean in half by an icy ethereal sword by his guild mate, who was pursuing the Sabertooth mage as he had jumped away in the nick of time. "Demon Slayer magic…" he realized, gritting his teeth angrily, "Luffy," he began to his teammate, making him perk up, "let's make 'em listen with our fists," he declared with a wide grin, causing him to do the same before they ran out towards their respective targets.

"Ice Demon Zero Long Sword!" Gray exclaimed as he attempted to slash at the ponytailed man with his ice blade, who was still in midair as he crossed his arms over his face in an attempt to defend himself.

"GRRRAAAAAAYYYY!" the voice of the pink haired man bellowed, catching the ice wizard's attention too late as he was struck in the face by the flaming foot of the son of Igneel, getting sent careening down onto the floor in a loud bang as his makeshift weapon shattered.

"Natsu!" the shadow dragon slayer yelled in surprise, landing beside him as they saw the demon slayer slowly start to get back up.

"Let's take him on together, Rogue," the fire dragon slayer advised to him, making him glance over for a moment, "The others'll be fine dealin' with their own fights," he noted as he clenched his fists.

"…Yeah," his comrade concurred as black markings started to appear upon his face. As their future opponent stood up, they got into ready stances.

"All right…" he muttered out, glaring at them before gesturing for the two to come to him, "Bring it," he challenged. They all then ran each other, with flames, shadows, and ice being bombarded amongst them.

"Gum-Gum…" Luffy started to echo, readying both of his fists as he ran towards Zoro, who readied his swords, including his partially broken Sandai Kitetsu, "Jet…" he continued, firing off his fists at an extremely rapid pace, "GATLING!" he bellowed, punching at his crewmate over and over. Even as he coated his swords in Armament Haki, the swordsman could feel himself get pushed right into a wall, stricken again and again by his captain raging extremities. "ERRRRRAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!" he roared, slamming his fist into his torso one last time.

"GAH!" he yelped in agony, dropping the Shusui's hilt out of his mouth and the other two weapons he had as he slumped slowly to the floor on his knees.

"Zoro… thank you," the rubbery man suddenly said out of gratitude, much to his surprise as he slowly looked up at him approaching and squatting down to his eye level.

"Wh-What?" he stuttered in confusion, seeing the light frown on the Devil Fruit user's face.

"When you talked with me about Twilight… and my kid…" he started to reply, glancing off to the side, "it made me really think about my future with them," he admitted as he clenched his fists, "I don't want her to have to live with when we're running and hiding from the Navy every day," he explained as he stood up firmly, "That's why I wanted to go with Traffie and end all this," he told his green haired friend as he listened in astonishment, "And then…" he kept going, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.

"Requip!" Erza shouted as a brilliant golden light enveloped her form while jumping away from a sword swipe from Sasuke. As it dissipated, it revealed that she had changed into an outfit consisting of a white sarashi around her upper chest and a red hakama with a gold flame-like pattern at the bottom with black highlights, tied together by white strings. Her hair was now tied up in a high tail at the back by a green headband. A single katana was summoned forth into her right hand in a flash of luminosity. The grip of the blade was composed of a long handle with a somewhat thin base, rolled up in a distinctive pattern. The back-tip of the handle was coated in gold and from it extended a short dark blue rope adorned with three relatively big red pearls. Although the sword's blade was shaped in a standardly fashion, it appeared as a bit thicker than the katanas she had previously brought forth. The sword had a tsuba hand-guard, red and gold in color and shaped with flower-like edges. A grayish piece of cloth was fastened and tied around the upper part of the blade. She lunged out at her opponent, clashing her weapon against his and forcing him to step back.

"Tch," he scoffed, imbuing his blade in blue electricity as it sparked wildly.

"Archenemy: Flying Form!" Kagura exclaimed as she leapt up with her blade readied, aiming to slash through Naruto. He quickly prepared a pair of Rasengan upon the palms of his bandaged hands, while the aura around him suddenly dissipated and only started to flow through his palms.

'Did he already use up all of his power?' the swordswoman wondered as she blinked. She then noticed the toad-like and yellow irises he had with the orange pigmentation upon his eyelids. 'Sage Mode…' she realized, grimacing a little, 'He must've had a clone charging its power for him!' she concluded through thought, swinging her blade.

"Sage Art: Giant Rasengan Barrage!" her foe bellowed, making the energy spheres he had grow slightly larger before colliding them against her weapon, creating a massive burst of wind that blew the both of them back in an instant. As the fighting continued amidst the Omni Force members, Sting awoke, standing up as he rubbed at his head in agony.

"Ugh…" he groaned. He suddenly widened his eyes in remembrance, noticing that both Law and Rook were not among the groups still fighting. "No!" he exclaimed, hurrying off as quickly as he could.

'I can't let Rook go and do this… Not with milady the way she is now…!' he inwardly declared, running out of the hangar without anyone spotting him.

OPENING

"All The Stars" by Kendrick Lamar featuring SZA

0:00-0:19 – Opens with the sun slowly rising over a rather war-torn Omnitrix City, with the Ben 10,000 Tower looking slightly damaged. Marine coats are strewn about the streets, while the camera pans up the tower to show Ben Tennyson looking out the window, pressing his hands against the glass as he is conflicted on how to act next.

0:20-0:38 – The camera then cuts to several shots of rifts forming between Erza Scarlet and Kagura Mikazuchi, Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster, Rogue Cheney and Sting Eucliffe, and finally Trafalgar Law and Rook Blonko, as they stand with their backs facing each other, unlike everyone else.

0:39-0:58 – The scene shifts over to Sunset Shimmer, who lies in a hospital bed hooked up to an IV as bandages align her bloodied body. Time passes as the stars shine brightly in the sky, while she slowly slips out and into unconsciousness, trying to reach her left hand up to them.

0:59-1:38 – Fighting breaks out between the two groups as Erza and Kagura clash swords, with the former requipping into her Flight Armor. Luffy activates Second Gear and sets up Armament Haki on his right arm as he attempts to punch Zoro, but he blocks him with his swords, glaring ahead with his lone eye. Naruto and Sasuke engage in physical combat with their taijutsu, followed by the former creating Shadow Clones to attack his friend, which he easily cuts through with his Chidori-induced sword. Natsu activates his Dragon Force before charging towards Gray, who has a cold air wafting around him as he readies his Demon Slayer magic. In the meantime, Rogue batters Sting around with several of his attacks, but he doesn't retaliate as tears fall from his eyes.

1:39-1:57 – Cut to Avatar Korra, Rex Salazar, and Gingka Hagane, who are all preparing themselves for battle. The latter of the three starts to think about Irene Belserion and Jellal Fernandes, tensing up.

2:59-3:16 – The scene changes to Sunset trudging slowly along the hallways of the Ben 10,000 Tower, with blood dripping from each step she takes, including from where her eye was lost. As she hears the fighting going on, tears start to well up in her left eye, thinking it's her fault that things have delved into such a chaotic state.

3:17-3:37 – She finally arrives in the hangar to see what her boyfriend is attempting to do to Law, stopping him as she starts to develop an enraged expression.

3:38-3:52 – Ends with Ben waiting outside in front of an MPG portal, as a certain figure comes out in the dark of the night…

END OPENING

CONFLICT

Naruto and Erza landed on the floor beside each other, staring down Sasuke and Kagura as they were in ready stances, prepared to attack again.

"This has gone on for far too long…" the requip user grumbled, narrowing her eyes onto their opponents.

"Yeah… Law's probably sick of waiting for us…" the jinchuriki concurred, breathing somewhat heavily. As the duos stared each other down still, the scarlet haired woman saw the Uchiha man's Rinnegan glow a little.

"Sasuke will likely resort to genjutsu to stop us," she noted, getting into a lunging stance.

"Don't worry, I can handle that," her ally reassured, crossing his fingers, "You got Kagura?" he guessed to her.

"Heh," she chuckled, letting off a slight grin, "Of course," she stated. Just then, several puffs of smoke emitted from around them, veiling them from view to the surprise of their eventual foes. Erza was the first to leap out, yelling aloud as she was about to swing her blade down onto the Sharingan user.

'She's not after me?!' the Mermaid Heel wizard exclaimed inwardly, arching an eyebrow at her friend's actions.

"Hmph," her teammate scoffed, letting a purplish aura overtake his form before it became a skeletal structure that surrounded his body, creating a hand to grab the woman known as Titania just as she was about to strike him.

"Ergh!" she grunted in agony, feeling the extremity squeeze her tightly.

"I don't suppose that this was your best attempt at stopping me?" the shinobi questioned, narrowing his eyes onto her.

"Grr…" she growled for a moment. However, her frown soon shifted back into a smirk. "You're right, Sasuke," she remarked, catching his attention, "You know me better than that…" she pointed out, much to his confusion as he blinked. All of a sudden, she instantaneously burst into a puff of smoke, shocking him as his eyes widened in realization.

'A clone?!' he exclaimed inwardly.

'Then that must mean…!' Kagura realized too late as her sword was knocked away by the unexpected swipe from the requip user's sword, followed by reeling her right fist back and throwing it out to punch her directly in the face, sending her careening back in an instant as she struck the floor hard, tumbling across it.

"Kagura!" the Uchiha man cried out in concern. Just then, he heard the sound of something buzzing, looking back to see the cloud of smoke being blown away by a glowing orange Rasenshuriken from his friend's raised right hand.

"Wanna settle this the old fashioned way… Sasuke?" he inquired to him with a grin. A moment of silence between the two passed before the dark haired ninja sighed deeply.

"Naruto… you know that they won't stop, right?" he questioned back to him.

"Yeah…" he responded, "they won't," he agreed, swinging his arm to fling the jutsu he had created right at him.

"Very well," the Sharingan user muttered, letting the ominous aura flare up as it grew into the upper half of a humanoid-like being constructed of the eerie energy he was emitting. It possessed demonic horns, a long appendage upon its chin, and a malevolent grin. Preparing a sword that it had summoned in a violet blaze, its user had it slice through the shuriken-like attack clean into two halves, causing both to burst into rushes of wind that blew by rather strongly.

"Susanoo, huh?" Naruto uttered with an arched eyebrow, closing his eyes, "Okay then…" he concurred, letting his own golden aura flare up around him as he activated his Kurama Mode once more, now having irises shaped like crosses, "let's do this, Sasuke!" he challenged, running out at him as he prepared another spiraling sphere of energy upon his hand.

"Inferno Style…" the Uchiha man began to bellow as his Mangekyo Sharingan eye started to bleed a little, "Flame Control!" he shouted. Black flames suddenly erupted around him, spreading out towards his charging foe. He took a great leap over them, diving down and sticking out his right hand with the energy sphere upon it.

"Sage Art…" he began to bellow, with several puffs of smoke appearing around him, revealing themselves to be clones with the exact same spheres readied on their extremities, "Massive Rasengan…" they continued together, striking the construct surrounding their enemy, "BARRAGE!" they hollered. The force of their combined attack blew their opponent back quite a few yards as he grimaced. Just then, he heard the sound of quick footsteps drawing near him, turning his head to see Erza rushing in with her blade readied. He attempted to glare at her and put her within another genjutsu, but suddenly saw that only her artificial right eye was open, allowing for to nullify any form of illusion that she could potentially face.

"ERRAAAAAHHH!" she shouted as she slashed at the ominous construct, causing it to shatter apart like glass after taking both the attack and the previous barrage.

"Tch!" the dark haired shinobi scoffed, puffing out his cheeks before firing off a volley of fireballs towards his two foes. They narrowly evaded them, continuing to run as they neared their target. He quickly drew another scroll from his holster and unraveled it, making puffs of smoke appear out from each of the Japanese characters that were visible.

"Hey, heads up!" the jinchuriki advised over to his teammate.

"Right!" she replied, readying her blade again. Several large shuriken shot out from the white smoke, spinning rapidly towards the charging Omni Force members. They easily jumped over to evade them, but the blonde haired shinobi suddenly noticed the glint of the thin wiring that was connected to the weapons, causing him to gasp in realization.

"Erza, watch out!" he yelled quickly, catching her attention as she perked up in surprise. Within the veil of smoke, Sasuke yanked on the wires attached to his summoned armaments, causing them to spin towards his two adversaries from behind. His rival crossed his fingers to make several more puffs of smoke appear around himself, revealing themselves to be clones as they ran back and took the shuriken barrage head on, disappearing as quickly they arrived upon being pierced.

"Sasuke!" the requip user shouted, causing him to immediately gasp and widen his eyes to see her lunge through the smoke with her sword prepared to slice him. He quickly drew his own weapon to block it in a flurry of sparks, as the blades shook in their respective hands. They glared at each other before clashing fiercely, clanging the metal of their armaments over and over. As they continued, Naruto came out from what remained of the smoke and stuck out his hands, forming large chakra arms that then stretched out and loomed over the two still fighting.

"Ah!" the Uchiha man gasped, jumping away in the nick of time as his rival brought down the energy hands in an attempt to slam him against the floor, creating a loud bang in the process. Erza was unharmed from the attack, leaping up after her foe as she swung her sword at him once more. He grimaced for a moment, but then smirked as he readied his Rinnegan, making it glow a bright purple as his focus was not on her, but the jinchuriki below who retracted his makeshift appendages. All of a sudden, he switched places with him in an instant, landing on the floor while he was in midair, with his back turned to the woman about to slash him.

'Oh no!' she exclaimed inwardly in realization as her right eye widened, 'I won't be able to stop myself in time!' she noted to herself as her blade was about to cut her comrade. To her surprise though, a makeshift claw of chakra appeared out from his back and grasped her just in time, stopping her from accidentally slicing him.

"Hang on, Erza!" he quickly advised, spinning around and suddenly tossing her down in a loud yelp from the formed appendage on his back, which subsequently disappeared the moment he let go of her.

"Seriously?!" she screamed out, feeling the powerful force of his throw as the wind undid her long ponytail in an instant. However, she disregarded it as she readied her sword once more, prepared to strike the man below. He took notice of her coming, grimacing as he imbued his own blade in blue electricity. As their blades collided, a huge burst of wind occurred around them as they both tightly clenched their teeth. All of a sudden, the metal of their weapons shattered simultaneously, much to their shock as their eyes widened. Before he could attempt to do anything else though, the blonde haired shinobi dove down in an instant and pinned him against the floor with a loud bang to follow.

"Ergh!" he grunted in agony, grimacing as he glanced up at his rival. The way he had him against the floor while taking a ready stance reminded him of when the reverse occurred as they were kids.

"Sasuke…" Kagura muttered out from afar as she stood up, only to be greeted by a pair of clones of the aspiring Hokage as they landed in front of her. Accepting her defeat with her current situation, she merely raised her arms in surrender.

"Huh…" the requip user sighed in relief, realizing that battle between them was over.

"ICE DEMON RAGE!" Gray bellowed as he unleashed a large purple blizzard of cold air towards the two dragon slayers charging towards him. While Rogue sunk into his shadow and zipped along the ground to avoid the attack, Natsu took it head on, having to cross his arms over his face in order to endure it. He slowly slid back along the floor, gritting his teeth in anger. Suddenly though, the scales around his arms and face faded away to his shock, followed by getting blown away into a crushed and flaming vessel in an instant as he yelled. "Huh…" his guild mate sighed out in relief, believing that his battle had been won as he finished his assault.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art!" the voice of the Sabertooth mage yelled, catching his attention as he widened his eyes to see the shadow zipping towards him. Before he could even do anything, the entire shadow enveloped his whole body, trapping him as he squirmed desperately. "DARK…" his opponent continued, with several shadowy tendrils appearing outside of the ice wizard's new prison and striking him all at once, "ECLIPSE!" he shouted upon striking him fiercely, sending him flying before he crashed against the floor in a heap. The ponytailed man emerged from the shadows, losing the markings on his face as he breathed heavily, wiping the sweat away from his forehead. He glanced around to see that Zoro, Sasuke, and Kagura appeared to be taken down as well, with Luffy, Naruto, and Erza respectively by them.

"God dammit…" the shirtless man muttered as he sat up from the ruptured metal he had been bashed into. Tears were in his eyes, much to the surprise of the shadow dragon slayer as he blinked.

"Gray..." he uttered, wondering what was going through his mind. Just then, he saw his pink haired teammate approach them, standing before his friend.

"You're blaming yourself for all this, aren't you?" he inquired to him, causing him to tense up as he shook and clenched his fists.

"We should've stopped that magma bastard back when he destroyed the guild hall…" he answered as tears streaked down his face, "We could've…" he kept going, shutting his eyes, "if I hadn't…!" he tried to finish, gritting his teeth.

"Juvia, huh?" Natsu uttered, causing him to instantly perk up in shock with widened eyes.

"How did you-?!"

"I'm a Dragon Slayer, you idiot," the son of Igneel interrupted, seating himself down on the floor in front of him, "Besides…" he continued, "even if she did help, I don't think it would've mattered…" he admitted with a solemn expression, much to the surprise of the ice wizard, "Gray, that guy we fought was strong enough to handle you, me, and Erza all at once," he pointed out seriously, "You really think Juvia would've done better then?" he questioned to him in a somewhat rhetorical tone. His guild mate did answer, looking around to see all of allies incapacitated still.

"Do you believe you can kill that guy?" he asked back, standing up and raising his right hand to the astonishment of the dragon slayers in front of him, "I'm sorry, Natsu…" he apologized in advance as a cold air wafted off of his form, "but I can't risk letting you or anyone else die!" he declared, throwing his arm down, "ICE MAKE…" he began to bellow, "SIL-!" His attack was interjected as suddenly, Korra ran in with her eyes glowing a bright white, grabbing him by the face with only her right hand and lifting him off the ground.

"ERRRRAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!" she roared, expelling flames from her elbow to generate a powerful force as she slammed her teammate into the floor hard, shocking the two others with her while also catching the attentions of those still in the hangar. A moment after her attack, her eyes went back to normal, followed by removing her extremity to reveal the now unconscious and shirtless man as his own eyes were a bright white. "Huh…" she breathed out exasperatedly, "Asshole…" she grumbled as she stood up straight.

"Sc-Scary…" the pink haired man stuttered out of fright as he shuddered.

"Yeah…" Rogue concurred, sweating a little. However, he disregarded his fear as he realized that the Avatar was now among them, shaking his head in order to regain himself. "Korra, what are you doing here?" he asked, making her perk up and look over at him.

"Heard a noise, so we figured something was up," she responded immediately, "Guess we were right," she concurred, looking around to see the destruction littered about the area.

"We?" the shadow dragon slayer questioned in confusion. Without warning, Samurai Pegasus zoomed by and jumped out at Naruto. He evaded him though, getting off of Sasuke in the process. As the beyblade separated the pairs still near each other, it jumped into the left hand of Gingka, who was standing beside Rex as they ventured into the area from the opening.

"Whoa…" the EVO uttered in shock as he glanced around at the devastation caused.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" the beyblader shouted angrily without warning, much to everyone's shock as they looked over at him, "Has everyone forgotten that we're in the middle of a goddamn war?!" he hollered at everyone.

"Gingka-"

"No, enough!" the shaggy haired man interrupted, silencing the requip user as she blinked in astonishment, "The Marines could be at our doorstep the next morning, and the thing you all decide to do is fight each other?!" he questioned out of frustration, breathing heavily.

"Reel it in, hermano…" the goggled man with him advised, patting him on the back as he looked out at the shocked expressions of everyone around them, "I think they got the message," he concluded.

"We wouldn't be fighting if it wasn't for you guys charging at us…" the jinchuriki grumbled as the Sharingan user stood up, deactivating his power as his right eye returned to normal.

"Rook was the one who started this after Law provoked him…" he pointed out.

"Rook?" Korra uttered in confusion, raising an eyebrow.

"You guys are right," Rogue chimed in, catching their attentions, "We shouldn't have been fighting, but helping each other find a way to beat the Marines," he explained to them.

"I doubt a simple talk would've changed anything…" Kagura mentioned with her arms crossed.

"But a discussion would be helpful for all of us to have," Erza responded seriously, "All of us were led to each side because of our own beliefs in this situation," she stated, closing her right hand into a fist, "One thing we can agree on is that we want this war to end," she finished resolutely.

"Okay, time out," the Avatar interjected, causing everyone to perk up, "Where are Rook and Law?" she asked, glancing around to find no sight of the two Omni Force members.

"Sting's gone, too…" Natsu pointed out as he sniffed the air around the area.

"What?!" the shadow dragon slayer exclaimed in shock.

"We should find them before things get worse," the South Pole native advised to the others, running off hurriedly. Gingka and Rex were quick to follow her as they ran towards the exit.

"Ben's out there…" the son of Igneel added, catching the attentions of those still in the building, "And someone else…" he mentioned, widening his eyes slightly as he recognized the faint scent lingering on his nose.

X

Silence filled the air as Sunset stared at what looked like what was going to be a cold-blooded murder, conducted by her own boyfriend onto her fellow squadron leader. She did not know how to believe what she was seeing, much less process it. Her lone widened eye seemed to be all that the Revonnahgander needed to see to pull his weapon away for a brief moment.

"Shimmer…!" the captain of the Heart Pirates grunted out in agony, grabbing at his bullet wound with his left hand. Seeing his clenched teeth and the blood dripping out of his torso, the former unicorn widened her eye, looking back at the alien Magister.

"Blonko, what is going on here?" she asked him with anxiety in her voice, "Why are you attacking Law? Why'd you shoot him?!" she questioned on, sounding all the more horrified by the current situation.

"Sunset…" the extraterrestrial uttered, turning around to fully face her, "Your 'friend' was planning to assassinate the Marines' Fleet Admiral in an attempt to stop all the fighting between us," he explained, taking a quick glance back at his foe, who was still writhing in agony.

"Wh-What?" the red and yellow haired woman stuttered, shaking her head in disbelief, "Blonko, that doesn't explain why you shot him!" she screamed, stumbling forwards, "You could've just told him to stop before taking such a big risk!" she pointed out rather angrily. As it seemed like neither of them were focused on him, the Op-Op user reached into his wound, trying to pull out the Sea Prism Stone bullet lodged within his body.

"He would not have listened otherwise," Rook stated firmly.

"Oh, bullshit!" his girlfriend cursed, breathing rather heavily, "He might be a dick sometimes, but deep down, he's a good guy…" she pointed out, having to catch her breath afterwards as she felt exhausted.

"Please… do not push yourself…" the Revonnahgander pleaded, holding out his left hand to her in a placating manner.

"You're… blaming him…" she concurred after a moment as sweat dripped down from her face, "Is that it?" she inquired, causing him to blink in surprise.

"Sunset…" he uttered, sounding hurt by her words, "He did not do anything to help you-"

"Because I told him not to!" she interjected angrily, placing her right hand over her chest, "Blonko, I made the choice to fight that guy… to try and save all of us…" she confessed, moving her extremity up to her missing eye, "and I paid the price for it…" she finished solemnly, "No else has to," she stated in a resolute tone.

"AAAGH!" Law suddenly yelled in agony, still trying to pull the ammunition out while accidentally catching his attacker's attention.

"DO NOT MOVE!" he demanded in a sudden rage, pointing the Proto-Tool at his head.

"Blonko, stop it!" the former unicorn shouted, stepping forward once again despite the pain she herself was experiencing, "Why are you… so afraid of him…?!" she wondered as she clenched her teeth, "Do you think… he wants me?!" she asked in between breaths, causing him to instantly blink in astonishment and turn to face her, "Oh my God…" she uttered, chuckling slightly before laughing aloud, "You've gotta be kidding me, Blonko…" she said with an innocent smile, "He's my friend," she affirmed, making him tense up slightly.

"No…" he uttered, shutting his eyes. With him being distracted, it gave the pirate the opportunity to once again try and take out the bullet in his body.

"I mean…" the red and yellow haired woman began as she chuckled, "if you really there's someone out there who'd steal me from you," she continued, "then just get on your knee now and pop that question," she advised, blushing a little, "I won't mind at all…" she added as she panted a little. Silence filled the air yet again between the two as the extraterrestrial turned around to fully face his girlfriend. An ashamed look was on his face as he glanced down.

"I cannot…" he finally said, clenching his fists tightly.

"You can't?" his girlfriend repeated as her smile started to falter slightly, "Are you too nervous? Afraid you won't know what to say?" she guessed on, giggling a little, "Blonko, just say it…" she requested pleadingly as blood was dripping down her leg from the wounds underneath her.

"…I can't marry you," he responded with remorse in his voice. Sunset finally lost her smile at the moment he said those words, especially with a contraction.

"Wh-Wh-Why?" she stuttered in question, starting to tear up a little, "Blonko… don't you love me?" she inquired, hurt emotionally by his admittances. He too was struggling to say what he needed to, but felt that after his time with her, she needed to learn the truth.

"We… cannot have children together!" he suddenly shouted, much to her shock as her lone eye widened, "You and I are of two different species…" he explained to her as he was starting to tear up as well, "It is biologically impossible…" he mentioned as he went over to her. She took a step back though, enticing him to stop and look to see her shaking her head.

"Is that it?" she asked with quivering lips, "Having a kid shouldn't matter, Blonko…" she pointed out as she took a few steps forward, standing about a foot away from him, "Marrying someone is about showing your love for another person…" she said while looking up at him, "and… I love you, Blonko…" she confessed with a blush streaked across her cheeks, while a red light faintly beneath her gown, "You made me love you for being someone who accepted me… who would be willing to die to save me…" she mentioned, having to catch her breath for a moment, "You… love me, too… don't you?" she asked. The very question caused the Revonnahgander to immediately tense up and sweat. The truth was just moments away from coming out of his mouth, and he paid no heed to the fact that Law was close to removing the bullet in his body.

"I…" he began, swallowing his pride both figuratively and literally as he was ready to deliver what his true feelings were, "I… wanted… to love you…" he confessed. At that moment, the former unicorn felt her heart sink, while a lone tear fell from her own eye.

"EGH!" the Op-Op user grunted as he finally removed the bullet, causing more blood to spill out from his wound in the process, "Ergh…" he groaned as he dropped it onto the ground. However, the noise he made suddenly caught the extraterrestrial's attention, turning around and aiming his weapon at him.

"That first shot was meant only to incapacitate you…" he noted, readying his finger on the trigger, "This one will kill you…" he declared as he was about to fire. A faint red light from behind caught his attention for a moment though, enticing him to turn around and see it emanating from beneath the gown of his girlfriend, just above her chest. It was her pendant, which slowly had its luminosity fade until it was no longer visible, completely dark. Rook blinked in astonishment, remembering the time she had told him of its added effects aside from the power to read the minds of others.

"It shouldn't matter…" she muttered as tears streaked down her left cheek, "None of that… should matter…" she grumbled, trembling in place.

"Sunset...?" her boyfriend uttered, reaching his free left hand out to her.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" she suddenly screamed, grasping his wrist as her lone eye glowed a bright white with tears still pouring out of it. She suddenly ponied up, sprouting horse-like ears and a long ponytail, while a pair of large, phoenix-like energy wings appeared from her back. The sheer brightness of them caused both the Revonnahgander and the Op-Op user to shut their eyes and look away, managing to avoid being blinded. However, she twisted the former's twist rather strongly.

"AGH!" he yelped in agony, falling to his knees while also dropping his Proto-Tool in the process, "Sunset, stop!" he shouted pleadingly.

"YOU LIED TO ME!" she bellowed threateningly, causing him to grimace in fright, "All these years together…" she continued, "AND YOU NEVER LOVED ME?!" she questioned very angrily as her wings grew even brighter.

"I wanted to!" the alien Magister claimed as he could only squint to see her enraged expression, "But I did not want to dishonor my family either!" he mentioned.

"ERRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" the former unicorn roared upon hearing his comment, suddenly making a reddish aura appear around his form before he was slammed against the ground.

"Sh-Shimmer…!" Law stammered out as loud as he could despite the agony he had been feeling. She did not hear him though, clenching her teeth angrily as she was about to severely hurt the person she thought that she had been in love with.

"MILADY!" a familiar voice cried out, causing her to instantly stop upon recognizing it, releasing the extraterrestrial from her psychic hold as the aura around him vanished. She turned her head to see Sting standing there, breathing heavily out of exhaustion.

"Sting…" she uttered, letting one last tear fall from her eye before she fell to the ground unconscious.

"Milady!" the white dragon slayer exclaimed hurrying over as she hit the earth, with blood still staining her gown. He rolled her over onto her back and lifted her head up, seeing that tears had come out from her lone eye as they stained her cheek. "Don't tell me…" he started to realize, looking over at the Revonnahgander who was trying to reach for his weapon despite the agony he was now in. He recalled their conversation earlier in the evening, widening his eyes.

FLASHBACK

"I am leaving Sunset to you," Rook stated, much to the shock of the Sabertooth guildmaster.

"Wh-What?" he stammered in surprise, blinking rapidly, "What do you mean by… 'leaving her to me'?" he asked, evidently concerned.

"I cannot be with her for much longer," the alien Magister responded with a saddened expression, "and I fear that if I do not act now, she will be taken," he stated.

"Hold on… you're breaking up with her?!" Sting inquired, "Why?!" he asked, both stunned and confused.

"In order to uphold my family's honor, I need to marry a woman of my own kind," the Revonnahgander responded with remorse in his tone, "Though it does pain me to have to do this…" he continued with clenched fists, "she will understand," he reassured, "And she will be happy with you," he added, walking off.

"Uh…" the white dragon slayer tried to say, but could not find the courage to as the words had left him from the shock he was now enduring.

END FLASHBACK

Though he still did not speak, the blonde haired man knew exactly what Rook was planning to do, gently setting Sunset's head down onto the ground. As the extraterrestrial grabbed his weapon with his right hand, he aimed it back towards Law, with a laser pointer centered upon the middle of his forehead. He was about to pull the trigger until a glowing white foot slammed down on his armament, smashing it into pieces against the ground before it could be fired off. The second Sea Prism Stone bullet rolled off from the remains of the versatile piece of technology, stopping right before the pirate as he slowly started to push himself up from the earth.

"Stinger…" he muttered out, seeing that the Sabertooth guildmaster had been the one to stop the attempted murder.

"I'm sorry, Law," he apologized, going over and helping him up onto his feet, "I… wanted to just keep everyone safe… you know?" he inquired, tearing up slightly.

"Ugh…" the Op-Op user groaned as his left hand rested over his wound, "Just get me to a doctor…" he requested, causing him to laugh a little. All of a sudden though, they noticed a figure coming out from the darkness of the streets, perking up as they saw in full view who it was: a mechanical humanoid in a green outfit, with the exception of his head and shoulders being a bluish-purple color. He had four fingers on each hand, which were apparently gloved. He also had nozzles around his body. He had two on both of his arms, one on each of his shoulders, three on the rim in between his shoulders, three on his head, one on his back and one in the center of his posterior. To top it off, he had a belt with a window on his stomach so that the gas he uses can be seen. He wore the Biomnitrix symbol on what appeared to be a gas mask at the front of his mouth.

"Ben…!" Rook grunted out, recognizing his alien appearance, "Stop them…!" he requested to him. The other two mean there looked on at the Toxiaeron, wondering what he was about to do.

"How 'bout I just put all of ya to sleep?" he suggested rhetorically, expelling a greenish gas from the nozzles on his arms onto them. In a matter of seconds, the three men all suddenly fell unconscious, with Sting and Law falling onto the floor. Blood remained strewn about and dying as the stars in the sky began to fade, signaling a new morning.

END ENDING

Okay, a few things to talk about before we move on.

One, the whole Rook X Sunset breakup. I guarantee that not everyone is on board with how things are with what happened, but keep in mind, it's like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not everything works out the way you want with all of this. That said, I am open to criticism and maybe a better method as handle how Rook and Sunset's relationship should've broken off.

Two, I realize this chapter was quite short. In all honestly, I didn't expect it to be at first. Once I got writing though and realized I was getting through my outline quicker than I first envisioned, I knew it would be shorter than normal. That said, I did get everything I wanted to get here.

So up next is more of "Evolution" and "Traitor"! The former will getting be finished, while the latter will have its second episode completed! And don't forget to leave a review with your thoughts! See ya later!
