Knights In White Satin: Funeral Pyre: The Sky Is Cloudy
London, England, 8:44 PM, Condo of Wang Yuanji and Arnice.
Massive Attack's "What Your Soul Sings" plays, in the background, while Lena sits in the large hot tub; trying not to think about Amelie. Arnice massages Lena's shoulders, while Lena meditates on her situation. Janne and Yuanji watch, as Lena has a saddened look on her face, and she looks as if she's about to cry.
Yuanji: I feel bad for Lena, but she has to overcome this; the Last Resort needs her, and after the divide, and creation of Shadow Panzer, the Last Resort is left without leadership.
Janne: I know; our friends need us. Terry is in a coma, Angela is off doing her own thing, and Rock Howard's mother is out to assassinate us.
Arnice: Lena, what's on your mind?
Lena takes a deep breath, and she looks at Janne. Lena gets out of the hot tub, and she wraps a towel around herself, as she leaves the bathing area.
Yuanji: I'll go get dinner ready, but I think I have an idea what's going on.
Arnice: What is it?
Yuanji: Janne, after dinner, go talk to her. I believe you may be able to help her, more than you realize.
Janne: Me? I care for Lena, a great deal, but I'm no therapist.
Yuanji: She doesn't need a therapist; she needs a loving ear. Lena trust Arnice, and I, but she has some deep rooted feelings, which you may be able to bring out of her. Unless Lena gets over her loss love, she will never be mentally fit to lead the Last Resort, again.
Janne: I'll do my best; that's all I can do.
Arnice: Lena cares for your friendship, Janne; from one swordswoman, to another, Lena needs her Knight, in Shinning Armor; or in this case: her Knight In White Satin.
Arnice smiles at Janne, and Janne returns the smile. Janne, Arnice, and Yuanji head to get dressed, while Lena is already wearing a t-shirt and shorts, as she sets the plates on the dinner table. Once Yuanji, Arnice, and Janne are ready, they join Lena at the dinner table, while Yuanji takes the roast out of the oven, and she sits it on the table, while Arnice grabs the vegetables, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
Yuanji: I hope you ladies like it.
Lena: You've been treating us good, and feeding us good, ever since we've got here, Yuanji. I can't repay you, enough.
Yuanji: You can, actually.
Lena: How?
Yuanji: Be true to yourself, and reach for your hopes, dreams, and what it is that will take your pain away.
Lena begins to think, for a second, while Arnice and Janne are laughing about the time Arnice burnt instant oatmeal. Lena smiles at Janne, and she bows her head, to bless the food. Yuanji's fax machine goes off, and the files on Shadow Panzer are sent, by Heidern.
Arnice: Well, after dinner we can look through those, together.
Yuanji: From what William Adams told me, earlier, the Shadow Panzer has a powerhouse.
Arnice: Who is it!?
Yuanji: It's Lu Bu's descendant: Ryofu Housen.
Arnice: Lu Bu has a living descendant? Wow, that must be cool!
Janne: Apparently she's from another earth; now forged with this one. Kyo has been texting me about how powerful she is, and how Moira and Angela used the Avalon's blood to heal Ryofu's tuberculosis.
Lena: I still can't believe that Moira and Doomfist are here, too. Gabriel and Jack have a lot to explain to us, when we get back!
Yuanji: Try not to focus on it, now; focus on fixing your heart, first, Lena.
Lena: I will, Lady Yuanji. I will.
Yuanji smiles, and Lena continues to eat. Meanwhile, Hakufu Sonsaku and Noel Vermillion prepare to spar, while everyone watches. Noel rushes in, and Hakufu goes on the attack; throwing a kick, while Noel slides under Hakufu's attack. Ryofu thinks to herself, as she watches her friend, Hakufu, battle her new ally, Noel.
Ryofu: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:57 - 58 KJV)
Ryofu quotes the Bible, as she watches her beloved friends; hoping for a miracle, and praying to continue on the right path, as Ryofu begins to understand, and appreciate her new role; and why she was brought back to life, yet again. Noel and Hakufu are clashing in the air, as everyone watches, and on the Sky Stage, Wonder Woman is definitely taking notes. Hakufu fires a blast of water looking energy, and Noel blast the projectile, with Bolverk, and Hakufu and Noel lands in front of each other, and staring each other down.
Angela: Great! Kanu, and Mai, it's your turn!
Mai N: Yes, Lady Angela!
Kanu: Of course, Lady Angela!
Mai grabs her Outseal, and Kanu grabs her Holy Dragon Blade, and the two warriors bow to each other. Kanu smiles at Mai, and Mai blushes. Mai smiles back, and Kanu looks away, blushing.
Ryofu: We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. (1 John 4:6 - 9 KJV)
Ana smiles at Ryofu, for she is proud of Ryofu's spiritual growth, and the fact that Ryofu is a God fearing warrior; one, who will definitely play a major role in defeating the evil forces, which have yet to come.
Ana: Ryofu, preach on, young lady!
Ryofu smiles, and she watches, as Kanu and Mai clash with their spears, and the battle begins. Kanu and Mai are nearly evenly matched, and the battle is only beginning. While the Shadow Panzer makes their way towards the battlefield, to watch Angela's court, as they spar, Eliza sneaks in, and she makes her way towards Terry Bogard's infirmary bed. Eliza whispers something into Terry's ear, and Terry's hands clinches into fist. Kanu and Mai begin to smile, and they decide to talk, as they battle.
Mai N: Nice blade!
Kanu: Thank you; got it from my ancestor! You have a lovely blade, too!
Mai N: It was created as a weapon to kill immortals!
Kanu: Really? You don't say!
Mai N: Hey, after we finish, do you wanna get something to eat, with me!?
Kanu: Sure, beautiful!
Kanu and Mai are equally calm, with each other, and their movements are flowing, like water. Everyone is amazed at how skilled Angela's court is, and how powerful her Honor Guards are.
Angela: The eight of them….they share the same souls.
Moira: Huh!?
Angela: Kanu and Mai, Hakufu and Noel, Ryomou and Tsubaki, and Ryofu and Makoto; they all share the same souls.
Batman: It's not only them.
Moira: Bruce, you're here!
Batman: We all are.
Shadow Panzer watches as Kanu and Mai spar, while Trixie, the Monster Hunter, leads a certain group of people, straight to Angela's court. Kanu and Mai clashes once more, and they stop to stare at each other.
Kanu: Above us.
Mai N: I know.
Trixie, wearing her Kirin Armor, comes from the sky, with her giant sword; ready to slice Kanu and Mai.
Kanu: Not today!
Kanu and Mai stops Trixie's sword, and Trixie stands ready to attack.
Ana: Who are you?
Trixie: I'm Beatrice Dorza, but call me Trixie, the Monster Hunter! T'Challa sent me, with a gift!
Tsubaki: What gift!?
Shiryuu Chouun and Koukin Shuuyu leaps into battle, and Tsubaki just stops Shiryuu's sword.
Hakufu: Koukin!
Hakufu is cut off, by Kakouen Myousai, and Yang jumps in to kick Kakouen, away.
Hakufu: Why are they attacking us!? We're all family!
Yang: Stay back, Hakufu; we've got this!
Ryomou: No, we fight as a team!
Tsubaki: Let's do this, then!
Ryofu: Trixie, what is this!?
Trixie: The Man of Azure is hated by all….
Angela: ….but the Man of Azure answers the people's call!
Batman: What!?
Gabriel: What is this!?
Trixie heads towards Angela, but Renka gets in the way, and stops Trixie's sword. Ruby Rose faces Genjou Kakouton, and she doesn't use her Crescent Rose. Ruby and Genjou exchange blows, while Weiss Schnee faces Ekitoku Chouhi. Blake Belladonna takes on Bashoku Youjou, and Yang Xiao Long takes on Kyocho Chuukou. Asuka Izuna faces Sousou Moutoku, while Yumi faces Goei. Miyabi faces Gakushuu, while Homura faces Kakouen Myousai. Tsubaki Yayoi fights Shiryuu Chouun, and Ryomou Shimei takes on Trixie.
Kanu: Gentoku, why; why are all of you doing this!?
Gentoku: As your leader, of Seito Academy, I want to see if you have what it takes to protect Lady Angela Ziegler!
Kanu: Gentoku, you….
Angela: Let's see how much they know!
While Angela's Honor Guards fights with Hakufu, Kanu, Ryomou, and Ryofu's old friends, Angela speaks to Gentoku, Koumei, and Hakugen in their minds; using her All Fiction.
Gentoku: Lady Angela, it's true what Dr. Osterman said, then.
Angela: You spoke with Osterman!?
Gentoku: Yes; he has told me everything. I assure you that Kanu will now follow your lead, as will I. Seito, Nanyo, and Kyoshou Academy will aid Shadow Panzer.
Angela: Are you sure? We will be facing near impossible odds!
Koumei: We were born for this moment; like yours, our world ended, and we find ourselves with no place to go, but this new earth.
Hakugen: We don't know what lies ahead, but we are willing to aid you, and as long as Hakufu, Kanu, Ryomou, and Ryofu are helping you, then we know that you're on the side of justice.
Angela: Why are your friends attacking Hakufu, and the others; aren't you all on the same side?
Gentoku: It's a test; to see just how powerful everyone has become.
Angela continues to watch the battle, and both sides are evenly matched. Batman steps in, and he tosses an exploding Batarang, at the ground, near the fighters; everyone stops fighting.
Batman: Enough!
Damian: Oh, boy; here we go!
Batman: I never met you, before, but when you walked up, the combination of our worlds merging, and possibly Angela's All Fiction allowed me to know who you all are. I will just say this: I've read about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and I know why you carry those sacred jewels, in your ears.
Goei: Oh, dear; he's a cute one! So manly, so hot!
Hakufu: Mom, you're embarrassing me!
Goei: Silence, Hakufu, while I'm admiring all the lovely men, here!
Cammy: A good number of them are already spoken for, too.
Ayane: That's Goei, for you….
Back on the Sky Stage….
Vice: It's them; it's really them!
Iori: Who!?
Vice: They come from the same earth, as Ryofu, Hakufu, Ryomou, and Kanu; they're from Ikkitousen!
Fareeha: Hmmm, let's listen to what Batman is saying.
Captain America: As long as they're on our side, is all that matters to me.
While everyone watches the Sky 1, Black Widow sneaks off, and she heads to grab Amelie and Juri. Black Widow finds them in the cafeteria; both eating a lot of ice cream.
Black Widow: Ladies, time to stop sitting around, and feeling sorry for yourselves; you're needed by Angela!
Amelie: Ziegler doesn't need us; she has that overpowered Boob Bimbo, with the green hair.
Juri: Why should we go?
Black Widow: Batman is going to have lesser restraints, than Morrison, Superman, and Captain America, and the Shadow Panzer needs people, like you both. Plus, you can let loose, and blow off some steam; what do you say to that?
Juri and Amelie look at each other, and then they both look at Black Widow. Amelie and Juri smiles, and Black Widow nods. Meanwhile, Batman is still addressing everyone, and he's laying down the law.
Batman: Whoever joins Shadow Panzer, will answer to Angela, Moira, Gabriel, Jasmine, Ana, all three Hanzos, Galford, Shiden, Ayame O, Terry, Chun Li, and myself; your little school rivalries are dead! In this world, while we face the combined forces of evil, who seek to destroy all that we are, you. Will. Fight. On. The. Side. Of. The. Innocent!
Koumei: That's why we're here; he sent us to help Lady Angela.
Batman: Who, Kumagawa!?
Ouin: No, it was some tall blu….
Angela: I think it's time I let you in on a secret, Bruce.
Moira: Give us a few minutes to get out of these bikinis, and Bruce, Gabriel, Jasmine, Hanzo I, Hanzo H, Galford, Ayame O, Shiden, Chun Li, Cammy, Ryofu, Goei, Sousou, Gentoku, Hakufu, Koumei, and Hakugen will meet is in Angela's laboratory, on the Astro Stage; got it!?
Everyone nods, and when the time comes, Angela, Moira, Renka, and Ryona are explaining Dr. Manhattan's role in all of what is going on.
Angela: That is the truth. I've blocked out Kumagawa, and it's straining my powers, but what I told you can never leave this room; not until I give the word for it to!
Chun Li: Dammit! What kind of game do they think they're playing with us!?
Cammy: Why don't we confront Kumagawa, now!?
Batman: I'm with Angela; confronting him, now, would expose everything, and the "Destroyer" would come, when we're not ready.
Sousou: This is well beyond the scope of the destiny we were born into; does anyone know why we were brought to this world, in the first place?
Moira: Because all of our old earths were consumed by a being, of unimaginable power.
Ryona: Azathoth….
Gabriel: Who!?
Angela: H. P. Lovecraft, the famous writer; he believes he created Azathoth, as one of his deities, in the grand scheme of his fictional world. Lovecraft didn't create Azathoth; he channeled the being's essence, and that drew Azathoth's attention to the old Omniverse; which he consumed, with absolutely no problem. Osterman, Kumagawa, the one from "beyond", and another are the guardians of reality, as we know it; when Azathoth consumed most of the Omniverse, what remained of our worlds were forged into this earth, and here we are.
Hakufu: Who is the one from beyond?
Renka: He will reveal himself, in time; he's not on our side, I can tell you that much, and the "other guy" is actually….
Ragna: ….me!
Everyone turns to see Ragna the Bloodedge.
Batman: What role do you play in this?
Ragna: It wasn't just Lovecraft, a genius writer, who called Azathoth to our earths; it was a combination of events, which tampered with the Boundary.
Koumei: Like what, exactly?
Ragna: For instance, the Dragon Balls, from Son Goku's universe, were used for a bunch of selfish wishes. The constant battles through the multiverse, beings like Anti-Monitor, Superboy Prime, and a whole list of others who have tampered with time and space, the awakening of your dragons, Hakufu, Sousou, and Gentoku, and then there's me….
Gabriel: What did you do?
Ragna: I erased myself from time, after I changed the fate of my world, and all of that has come back to haunt us; all of us.
Chun Li: So, things like Dr. Sugar's World Heroes Project, Victor Donovan's MIST Project, and the Orochi's awakening caused all of this, too, huh?
Ragna: In one way, or another, we are all to blame for this; that is why we're all going to fix it, together. Es, that young lady, with the giant sword; she carries bits and pieces of our old earths, inside of her.
Jasmine: How is that possible!?
Ragna: She was created as a storage unit; think of her as a living flash drive, and she absorbed a bit of all of our worlds. If something were to happen to her, we may all be lost.
Moira: What!? Why are we just now hearing this!?
Ragna: That is another reason why so many powerful people were drawn together, here; we have to protect Es, at all cost.
Batman: Great. I knew there was a catch to all of this. Ragna, is there a back-up storage unit?
Ragna: Well….
Batman: Before you answer that, is it someone who has been keeping a journal about all that is happening?
Cammy: Kolin!?
Batman: Bingo!
Cammy: Kolin has been keeping a record of all our battles, and all the prophecies, leading up to this point!
Gentoku: Then it is settled!
Chun Li: Huh!?
Gentoku: Kolin is the back-up storage unit, and maybe all that she has written down is also being written, and imprinted, on her soul.
Goei: Where is Kolin?
Gabriel: She's with the Last Resort, but we can't approach her, just yet; not without revealing to the others what Kumagawa did, and who he really is.
Hanzo H: So be it; for now, we wait, and we watch.
Galford: And we train until we drop! We have to win; for all of our sakes!
Angela: We will. I know we will.
Meanwhile, Lena and Janne are taking a walk, through King's Row, and Lena and Janne are holding hands.
Janne: How are you feeling, Lena?
Lena: I'm alright. I'm happy that you could come out, with me. I really wanted to talk to you, anyway.
Janne: Oh, about what?
Lena: Janne, I really care about you, and I appreciate your friendship.
Janne: I care for you, too, Lena; that's why I came here, with you. Angela and Moira are apparently leading the Shadow Panzer, and the Last Resort needs us to lead them.
Lena: I know. I want to lead the Last Resort, and I want to lead them, with you by my side; and….in my heart.
Janne: Lena….you mean….
Lena: Janne, could you….could we….
Janne: I think I know what you're about to ask me, so I'll give you my answer, this way.
Janne leans in to kiss Lena, on the lips, and Lena is ready to accept the kiss. Suddenly, a shot is fired, and Lena pulls Janne out of the way, as the bullet hits a wall. People begin to run, as Janne and Lena look up, at the roof of a nearby building.
Janne: It's a sniper!
Lena: That's….
Marie: Time to die, Lesbians!
Marie pulls out her automatic assault rifle, and she opens fire on Lena and Janne. Lena uses her Chrono Accelerator Watch to move herself, and Janne, to safety.
Janne: It's Marie Heinlein!
Lena: I know! We have to get to Yuanji and Arnice; they can help us!
Chinese Man: Going somewhere!?
The Chinese Man kicks Janne and Lena into a wall, and they go through it.
Janne: Dammit; we're sitting ducks!
Lena: Why are you two here; how are you even alive!?
Marie: The one from Beyond; the Beyonder has sent us!
Lena: The Beyonder!?
Chinese Man: Yes; the only being more powerful than Dr. Manhattan!
Janne: So, we have two godlike beings to worry about, now!?
Lena: You bastards; let us go!
Marie: It's over, Lena Oxton and Janne D'Arc!
Before Marie could pull the trigger, a motorcycle, driven by Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, comes flying through a window. Bucky jumps off of the motorcycle, and the Chinese Man punches it away, as Marie tries to shoot Bucky. Bucky kicks the gun out of Marie's hands, and he punches her to the ground, while the Chinese Man goes on the attack. Bucky and the Chinese Man engage in a fierce battle, while Lena and Janne fight Marie. Marie is holding her own, against Lena and Janne, and Marie manages to kick Janne into a wall. Lena attacks Marie, and even though Lena is using super speed, Marie is getting the better of Lena. Janne attacks Marie, and Marie manages to get Janne into a choke hold. Lena tries to free Janne, but Marie kicks Lena away. Bucky and the Chinese Man are evenly matched, and the Chinese Man manages to kick Bucky into a wall, and then the Chinese Man tosses down a grenade.
Winter Soldier: Shit!
Lena uses her speed, to get Janne and Bucky away from the blast, while Marie and the Chinese Man get away. The grenade goes off, and a small building is leveled.
Lena: You!? Aren't you….
Winter Soldier: Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier. I was sent to make sure Marie didn't kill you both.
Janne is coughing, a lot, after being choked by Marie, and once Janne catches her breath, she can speak.
Janne: Who sent you?
Winter Soldier: T'Challa, the Black Panther; he sent me, and a Monster Hunter, to join with Batman's Shadow Panzer; but first, we had intel which stated that Jedah Dohma was going to try and assassinate the leaders of both teams.
Lena: So Angela is in trouble!?
Winter Soldier: Yes! I have to get there, soon.
Janne: We need to get back to Yuanji and Arnice, and then we need to get to the Sky Stage!
Lena: Yeah; we'll continue our talk, later; promise!
Janne smiles, and Winter Soldier calls Captain America, on his communication device, while Lena calls Yuanji, and tells her to get ready. Meanwhile, while Angela is addressing the leaders of Shadow Panzer, the rest of the team is enjoying Azure Lake.
Kanu: This is our home, now, and we have to protect it, no matter what.
Miyabi: Everything is coming together, but some of our loved ones are still missing.
Ruby: Yeah, like my Uncle Qrow, my dad, and….
Weiss: Something's coming!
Suddenly, a Power Wave is fired from the Cargo Bay entrance of the Astro Stage, and everyone moves.
Mai S: What!? Terry!?
Chun Li/Cammy: Terry!
Alice: Dad!?
Rock: His eyes….
Terry is up, and dressed in his uniform, but the look on his face is one of evil intent.
Demitri: I've seen that look, before!
Joe: Where!?
Morrigan: When a Vampire glamours a victim, they tend to have that same glazed over look in their eyes!
Demitri: Eliza was here!
Everyone can hear Eliza's laugh can be heard, in the sky, and she is nowhere to be seen.
Angela, And the others come to the top deck of the Astro Stage, and they see Terry walking towards the others.
Moira: Bogard is up!?
Gabriel: Something isn't right with him!
Chun Li: Terry, don't do this! I'm your future wife!
Cammy: And I'm your mistress!
Genjou: Really don't think he cares, at this point!
Li Fen: Daddy, please wake up!
Terry launches another Power Wave, and this time it's blocked by Hakufu.
Goei: Hakufu, what are you doing!?
Hakufu: Terry has a Wolf Spirit; the only way to calm him, is with a Dragon Spirit!
Sousou: Make that two Dragons!
Gentoku: Make that three!
Ouin: You three can't take him on; his aura is tremendous!
Moira: The Avalon Formula has given him heightened awareness, senses, and a super healing factor; he may be as strong as Ryofu, Jiren, and Superman!
Ryofu: Let us see, then.
The Last Dragon Theme, by Dwight David, begins to play, as Hakufu, Sousou, and Gentoku stand ready to face Terry Bogard.
Ryofu: Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
(Psalms 3:1 , 3 - 8 KJV)
As Ryofu prayed to the Lord, Terry charges towards the three Dragons of Kanto, and he launches a Bare Knuckle. Hakufu blocks the attack, while Sousou and Gentoku move out of the way. Sousou and Gentoku attack Terry, and Terry manages to dodge all of their attacks, and he knocks them away.
Shiryuu: Gentoku!
Kakouen: Sousou!
Koukin: Stop, they've got this!
Gakushuu: To think, the main character from Fatal Fury is real, and he's one of the strongest beings on earth!
Ryomou: I see why I use to always play Terry, when I played The King Of Fighters; he's the real deal!
Hakufu attacks Terry, and Hakufu is evenly matched with Bogard. Terry lands a punch, and Hakufu is knocked into Azure Lake, as Gentoku and Sousou go on the attack, again, and they try to take the possessed Terry down. Hakufu leaps out of Azure Lake, and she is holding a strange stone, while charging at Terry. Hakufu, Gentoku, and Sousou attacks Terry at the same time, and even though the three Dragons of Kanto are strong, Terry is still stronger, and Terry knocks all three of them back, with a Bust' Wolf.
Yang L: Terry is amazing!
Yun L: Terry has gotten stronger, and his wounds are healing super fast!
Terry punches the ground, and he unleashes his Power Geyser, while Hakufu, Sousou, and Gentoku prepare their next attacks.
Gentoku: This is it!
Sousou: This ends, now!
Hakufu: Terry, Chun Li and Cammy needs you; your family needs you! Terry, come back to us!
Hakufu holds out the strange gem, and she fires her Water Dragon Canon, while Sousou fires a Fire Dragon Canon, and Gentoku fires a Thunder Dragon Canon. The three beams hit Terry's Power Geyser, and a power struggle begins. Terry is holding back the three attacks, and the Three Dragons of Kanto are giving it their all. The gem, in Hakufu's hand, begins to glow, and everything is engulfed in a bright light. Once the smoke clears, and everyone can see, Hakufu, Sousou, and Gentoku are tired, while Terry is still standing. Terry walks over towards Hakufu, Sousou, and Gentoku, and he hugs them, in his powerful arms.
Terry: Thank you.
Hakufu: Gee, you're welcome, Mr. Bogard!
Jeff: My son; my son is back!
Later on that evening, Angela, Batman, and Gabriel contacts the Last Resort, and Lena is there, with Janne, Captain America, Superman, and others.
Angela: Sonsaku found this stone, at the bottom of Azure Lake; you know what it is?
Ironman: That's the Mind Gem, and one of the Infinity Gems!
Captain America: That means….
Batman: The merging of worlds is nearly complete, and that means that Jedah, and his army will be looking for these gems, and whatever other weapons they can find, to use against us.
Heidern: Tomorrow, we need you all to come to the Sky Stage, so we can discuss what to do with the gem; don't let it out of your sight!
Angela: I'm leaving it with Hakufu Sonsaku; she seems to have a connection to it, and she seems like the best candidate to protect it.
Captain America: For now, we'll accept that; until we talk, tomorrow. Captain America, out.
With that, the conversation ended, and Batman gets up, to leave the Auditorium.
Gabriel: Bruce, what's up?
Batman: Obviously they are second guessing us, but it's reasons, like this, is why we need two factions.
Angela: I wonder how much they're second guessing us.
Vegeta: You don't know the half of it.
Batman: When did you get here?
Vegeta: I came by, with Bucky, Amelie, Natasha, and Juri. The way things are going, Kenshiro, and I, may be joining you guys, too.
Gabriel: What can you tell us?
Vegeta: Some of the goody good squad believes that you all have been compromised, and that you may be a threat.
Batman: Of course. I've already planned for that.
Vegeta: They aren't going to let you guys keep the gem; it's one of the deadliest powers in the known universe, and they already believe that Angela, with the All Fiction, is dangerous, enough.
Gabriel: It stays with Hakufu Sonsaku; period.
Angela: Hakufu is too innocent to be corrupted by the likes of the Mind Gem, and I trust her.
Vegeta: So be it. I have to head back, but I'll let you know if anything else happens.
Angela: Thank you, Vegeta. I really appreciate this.
While Vegeta takes his leave, Hakufu is introducing Noel to Goei, Koukin, and Chuubou.
Hakufu: Guys, this is Noel; she's going to be my partner, from now on.
Noel: Pleased to meet you all. Miss Goei, I heard that you're Hakufu's mother.
Goei: Yes, of course. I'm glad to meet one of my stupid daughter's new friends.
Hakufu: Hey, I'm not stupid!
Goei: Sure you're not, dear.
Koukin: So, Noel, what did you use to do, before the Great Merger?
Noel: Well, I was a member of the World Void Information Control Organization, and a soldier. I was caught up in a grand scheme to destroy my world, which resulted in one of the cataclysmic events, which created this world. I'm here, with my friends, my brothers, and some very nice people.
Chuubou: Do you have any hobbies?
Noel: I can cook, and I love shopping….online, though.
Hakufu: And, Noel is a pretty impressive fighter, to say the least.
Goei: I heard that you two sparred; it's a shame that we missed it.
Noel: There will be other times. So, how did you guys appear here?
Koukin: We just appeared in King T'Challa's kingdom, of Wakanda, and he automatically knew why we were there.
Noel: Terry Bogard has a teammate, there, by the name of Balrog; did you see him?
Goei: Yes, we did, actually; he was training to fight some guy, named Doomfist. Apparently this Doomfist is working for some big bad guy, named Black Adam.
Hakufu: Black Adam? He sounds kinda scary.
Noel: Something tells me that we have to tell Batman, Gabriel, and Angela about this Black Adam, guy.
Meanwhile, Mai Natsume is with Kanu Unchou, and the Seito Academy girls.
Mai N: It's a pleasure to meet you, all.
Koumei: Any friend of Kanu's is a friend of ours; besides, you're a cutie.
Mai N: Thank you; you ladies are lovely, too.
Gentoku: Since we are living under a brand new destiny, I don't mind if Kanu is aiding Lady Angela.
Kanu: I haven't forgot about our bound, ladies; we are still sisters, and I'm still here to protect you, Gentoku.
Gentoku: Be that as it may, we are here to serve a new cause. Lady Angela needs us, and this world needs heroes.
Bashoku: We've got your back, Kanu, don't worry; so, are you and Mai an item?
Kanu and Mai blushes.
Kanu: We're just training together; we've only recently met.
Mai N: Uh, well….Kanu is a cutie, but we haven't gotten that far, yet.
Chouhi: You two are definitely an item! I can see it all over your faces!
Kanu: Silence, Chouhi!
Chouhi: Just make sure you two take care of each other, okay!?
Kouchuu: They both carry powerful spears, so they should be alright.
Gentoku smiles, as she sees Kanu looking at a blushing Mai, and Gentoku wishes her friend all the happiness in the world. Meanwhile, Ryomou and Tsubaki are talking to Gakushuu and Ouin.
Ouin: She is a cutie; you've grabbed yourself a wonderful catch, Ryomou.
Ryomou: Shut up, it's not like that, at all.
Ryomou blushes, while Ouin sneaks up on Tsubaki, and squeezes her breast.
Ouin: She has a lovely rack, too; go figure.
Tsubaki: Hey!
Tsubaki smacks Ouin's hands, away, and she blushes, fiercely.
Ryomou: Hey, those are mines!
Ryomou realizes what she said, and she receives weird looks from Gakushuu and Ouin.
Ryomou: I….I mean….
Ouin: I see Ryofu has rubbed off on you, huh?
Tsubaki: You're a pervert, Ouin.
Gakushuu: Don't mind Ouin; he's always like this, and has a habit of being a bit too perverted.
Ryomou: Tsubaki, how about breakfast, tomorrow; you, and me?
Tsubaki: I'd love that. I really would.
Meanwhile, still, Ryofu is sitting on the top deck of the Astro Stage, with Makoto; the two powerful fighters are gazing at the stars, while The Nothing Song, by Sigur Ros, plays.
Ryofu: Today was a very long day.
Makoto: Indeed; we've gained some allies, and we've made some powerful friends. I wonder how Mr. Terry is doing?
Ryofu: You don't want to know; he's busy….doing "things", with Chun Li and Cammy.
Makoto: Oh….OH, I get it; well, they are in a relationship, are they not?
Ryofu: Yeah, all three of them, I see.
Makoto: You don't agree with that?
Ryofu: In my opinion, a relationship should be between two people, and two people, only; but that's just me.
Makoto: Are you in a relationship, of any sort?
Ryofu: My lover died, a long time ago.
Makoto: I'm sorry….
Ryofu: It's not your fault; she's with God, now.
Makoto places her hand on Ryofu's, and Ryofu holds Makoto's hand, and smiles.
Makoto: As time passes, I'd love to get to know you, better, if that's alright with you.
Ryofu: I'd actually like that; you're a pretty strong fighter. I can see us having some great sparring matches, down the line.
Makoto: I look forward to that, too.
Makoto kisses Ryofu's hand, and the two go back to looking up at the stars. Moira is in her large hot tub, and Ryona and Renka are with her, while Ryona and Renka await Angela's meeting to be over. Moira looks out at the beauty of Azure Lake, through the window, while Renka and Ryona are playing with each other.
Renka: Hey, are you alright, Moira? You're awfully quiet, over there.
Moira: I'm fine. I'm just glad my researched worked, and that Terry is alright; despite being taken over by Eliza.
Ryona: True, true, but that look in your eyes says that that isn't all that is wrong, with you.
Moira turns to completely look at Renka and Ryona, and she has a look of longing, on her face.
Moira: I'm fine. I'm sure.
Renka: Okay, if you say so; well, we're going to meet up with Angela, and head to bed; we have a big day, tomorrow, so….goodnight, Moira.
Ryona: Goodnight, Lady Moira.
Moira waves at Renka and Ryona, as the two lovers of Angela head off to their room. Moira stays, behind, and she is filled with thoughts of loneliness, longing, and bitterness. At one point, in time, Moira actually loved Angela, but Angela belongs to Renka and Ryona, now, and Moira's past, with Angela, has never been great, until now. Moira decides to head to bed, and she gets out of the hot tub, and drys off, after taking off her bikini. Moira walks into her room, naked, and her lights are off. Moira lies on her bed, and she is on her back, with her eyes closed. It didn't take Moira long, but she was soon asleep, and her thoughts of regret were fading away. Moira, after only being asleep for ten minutes, began to feel a tongue between her legs, and directly on her clitoris. Moira thought she was dreaming, but she soon felt the breast of another woman, on her legs, while this person began to lick Moira's clitoris, with passion. Moira begins to place her hands behind the woman's head, and Moira opens her eyes.
Moira: Angela!? What….
Moira looks to the left, and to the right of her, and she sees Ryona and Renka, as they lie next to Moira, on opposite sides of her.
Moira: Renka, Ryona…what's going on!?
Angela: Shhhh! Moira, do you want this?
Moira looks at a smiling Renka and Ryona, and she looks down at Angela. Renka and Ryona begin to suck on Moira's breast, and Moira begins to moan.
Moira: Yes….yes….
Angela: Yes, what, Moira?
Moira: Yes, I want this, Lady Angela!
Angela: Good.
Angela begins to suck on Moira's clitoris, again, and Moira can feel herself cumming in Angela's mouth, while she holds Renka and Ryona, as they suck on her ample breast. Angela places Moira's legs on her shoulders, while Angela begins to stick her tongue inside of Moira's vagina. Moira begins to moan, even louder, as she cums all over Angela's face, and Moira's moans can be heard outside her room; where the Winter Soldier is sitting in a chair, and guarding the four leaders of Shadow Panzer; while his thoughts are on what tomorrow will bring. The next day, the Shadow Panzer heads to meet up with the Last Resort, and both Airships are hovering over Midnight City, while the two teams meet on the Sky Stage. Hakufu holds the Mind Gem, and she smiles, while Rose stares at the beautiful Infinity Gem.
Ironman: Surely where the Gems are, Thanos will soon seek them out.
Morrigan: Do you think Thanos is working with Jedah?
Captain America: At this rate, we don't know who all our foes are.
Leo S: We will find out, eventually, but until then Hakufu will guard the Mind Gem.
Goei: Nanyo Academy will guard it, as a whole.
Angela: I'm fine with that.
Leo and Bashou stares at Karin and Lili, and Karin and Lili are staring back.
Superman: Does anyone really object to that notion?
Lili: I do.
Karin: So do I.
Wonder Woman: Why is that, Miss Kanzuki, Miss Rochefort?
Lili: Why should Angela's group have such a weapon?
Hakufu: Trust me, I'm too scatter brained to use this thing, for evil; plus, my Dragon she'll keep it nice and safe, I promise.
Ouin: We'll be sure to guard it, with our lives.
Noel: Plus, I'm not leaving Hakufu's side!
Goei: So, there you have it!
Angela: Miss Goei makes a strong argument, and with the All Fiction, at my disposal, no one is taking the Mind Stone from my family.
Moira, Renka, and Ryona stand next to Angela, and Lena smiles.
Lena: As leader of the Last Resort, I trust you, Angela.
Lili: We'll see….
Karin: If we come across any more of the Infinity Gems, we're keeping them.
Angela: Fine with me.
Terry: Is it me, or has things gotten a little tense, since I was down?
Chun Li: No, I can feel it, too, my Love.
Cammy: Yeah, what gives?
Leo S: Yeah, tell them, Karin.
Karin: Nothing is going on, except the dubious formation of Shadow Panzer.
Gabriel: Here we go, again….
Vegeta: Why can't we all just work together? We still have family, friends, and villains, who have yet to show up, here, and the last thing we need is lack of trust, when so much is at stake!
Kenshiro: I agree; for this to work, we need to have coverage on both coast, and we have so many heroes, here, we don't need one giant team.
Powergirl: I can concur with that; the Sky Stage is still cramped, even with Shadow Panzer gone.
Black Widow: How about a trade?
Jack M: What kind of trade?
Black Widow: As a show of trust, Nightwing and Batgirl can work with Captain America, while Bucky, and I, will work with Batman; our loyalty is to our home teams, so if Shadow Panzer is doing something dubious, we'll tell Steve, and if you guys are acting fishy, I'm sure Dick and Barbara will rat you guys out.
Batgirl: I guess that would work, but I wouldn't call it ratting you guys out….
Nightwing: I don't see a problem with that.
Karin: Fine….
Leo S: Fine….
Lena: Look, we really do need to trust each other, there is so much going on, and we've only just begun to scratch the surface; we have a huge problem….
Heidern: Kain R. Heinlein has vanished; he, and Grant, left the White House, and Tyler Antonov is stepping down, as President.
Everyone is in shock.
Terry: Dammit! Antonov was a sure backer, when it comes to what we're trying to accomplish, here!
Ryu: Kain left to search for Marie Heinlein and Tan Fue Rue.
Tung: Don't call him that; he is the Chinese Man, not my dead son!
Ryu: I'm sorry, Master Tung….
Iori: Kain is going to get himself killed, if we don't find him.
Goenitz: Kain is resourceful, but we do have great news.
Rock: What's so great about my mother on a rampage, and the Chinese Man back from the dead?
Goenitz: My daughter, Lana, is watching T'Challa, and she says that Balrog and Elena are going to capture Doomfist, and bring him back, alive.
Sombra: Great, so I can reprogram whatever Liao did to him!
Kokonoe: I've got your back, on that one.
Sombra and Kokonoe high five, each other.
Terry: Still, what do we do about the Leader of the Free World?
Goenitz: Galford, what do we do, about that?
Galford goes to hit a button, on the Sky 1's keyboard, and former Redeemer, Andrew Jackson, pops up on the screen; standing next to a very important woman.
Galford: Everyone knows Andrew, and that's his project, right there.
Superman: Former President Andrew Jackson was a Redeemer!?
Hanzo H: Yes; he, too, fell prey to the meteorites, which hit earth, and granted us immortality, way back then.
Black Canary: Your world just gets better, and better.
Green Arrow: It's our world now, too, Pretty Bird.
Galford: Andrew is standing next to Noelle Rabinowitz; former head of the Ivory Peaks Corporation, and one of the few businesses that are behind our team of "vigilantes", here. Ivory Peaks is responsible for urban development, agricultural development, and the construction of environmentally safe products. Noelle's oldest daughter, Kira Rabinowitz, is a scientist, and the youngest Chemical Engineer, in North America. Kira is interested in working with Kokonoe, Nine, Moira, Angela, Litchi, Brown, and Lisa, in using the Ziegler/O'Deorain Nanotechnology to better the world, entire.
Nine: How does she know about us?
Galford: Andrew filled her in; we have to keep up appearances, and stay on Noelle's good side. Noelle Rabinowitz is pushing to get us complete government backing, and she believes in the Last Resort, and Shadow Panzer.
Berkeley: Noelle is set to take Antonov's place in office, and she's already picked her running mate.
Karin: Who?
Ken Masters steps up to the front, and he smiles.
Terry: Ken, you're running for office!?
Ken: I'm retiring from fighting, and going into politics. I've already told Eliza, and she's thrilled that I'm not going to be fighting, anymore; it's up to you guys, now!
Chun Li: Ken, but….but….
Ken: Noelle knows my dad, and Noelle's late husband, Sam Rabinowitz, served in the Marine Corps, with my father, years ago; trust me, when I say this, Noelle is definitely a strong believer in freedom, equality, justice, and making the entire world a better place; this is our big chance to shine, people.
Angela: Then, we can't disappoint future President Noelle Rabinowitz; what else does she need from us, Ken?
Ken: She only ask for a small favor; she needs three bodyguards, while she goes on tour, to promote herself, and her plans for America, and the world; any volunteers?
Shizumaru Hisame comes forth, and he bows his head.
Shizumaru: I'd like to go, if you don't mind.
Haohmaru: Are you sure, little buddy?
Shizumaru: Yeah, I'm sure. I'm not really doing anything, anyway, and I could use an adventure. Is it alright if I pick the other two bodyguards, who will accompany me?
Ken: Sure thing, Shizu.
Shizumaru: Aunt Felicia, and Shiryuu Chouun, could you please accompany me, on this journey?
Felicia: Sure thing, Honey!
Shiryuu: Why me?
Shizumaru: You remind me of someone dear to my heart, and I would love to have someone, my age, to talk to.
Shiryuu: I'm 18….
Shizumaru: So am I. I just look younger.
Gentoku: Go, Shiryuu; we'll be fine, I promise.
Shiryuu: Okay. I would be honored to watch over the future President, of the United States of America.
Felicia: This is going to be fun! Praise the Lord!
Hanzo H: You'll be leaving tomorrow morning, and you'll meet Andrew in Seattle, Washington.
Shizumaru: Yes, Sir.
Shiryuu: Yes, Master Hanzo.
Felicia: Thank you, for this opportunity, guys!
Suddenly, Goenitz gets a call, on his communication device.
Goenitz: Lana, what is it?
Lana: Dad, tell the others….we know who's backing Jedah, and Balrog is on his way back, with Elena and Ogundimu; they're both injured!
Goenitz: What!? Teleport them, here, now!
Lana: I will, but I'm staying, behind, to help T'Challa. Black Adam, the king of Kahndaq, has joined Jedah; and he's launching an attack, soon!
Goenitz puts Lana on speaker phone, and everyone listens to what Lana says, and Cammy faints, at hearing that Balrog is injured. Several hours, ago, Balrog and Elena finished training, and T'Challa stood by them, as Balrog prepared to go after the American Sports Team, and Doomfist.
Black Panther: You've come a long way, and you've trained harder than ever, before, to get this far; are you ready to take on Doomfist, and the Sports Team?
Balrog: My grudge, with Heavy D, goes back many, many years ago; if he's being controlled, I'll take him out; if he's doing this, on his own free will, I'll punish him, still.
Elena: We're going to meet them, on the Kahndaq border; my Love, are you ready?
Balrog gives Elena a kiss, on the forehead, and he smiles.
Balrog: Let's go get those clowns!
Black Panther: I'm sending you, with a small team of guards; come back, alive, my friends.
Elena: Yes, your highness!
Balrog: Yes, T'Challa!
T'Challa gives his blessing, while Balrog and Elena heads out to face some powerful foes. Balrog has the Bogard Family on his mind, but he knows that he has to focus on stopping Heavy D and Doomfist, in order for his family to remain safe. While Elena and Balrog cross the desert, in a Quinjet, Lana Goenitz follows them, through the wind. After crossing a large part of the desert, and making it into Kahndaq, Africa, Balrog and Elena's Quinjet are struck by what felt like a missile.
Elena: What was that!?
Balrog: Who is that!?
Elena: It's Doomfist!
Doomfist punches the Quinjet, and Balrog and Elena have to take it down, for an emergency landing. T'Challa's guards are knocked out, but Balrog and Elena are still awake, and they make their way out of the Quinjet, as they are faced with Doomfist, Heavy D, Lucky Glauber, and Brian Battler.
Balrog: I finally get to face you, you Bastard!
Heavy D says nothing.
Balrog: What, does the cat got your tongue, boy!?
Heavy D still says nothing.
Elena: They're not themselves; someone is controlling them!
Lana Goenitz watches, from not too far away, but she is undetectable.
Doomfist: Last Resort, you fools believe you can save humanity, but a new era is coming, and you will not live to see it!
Balrog: Ain't nobody talking to you, Boy; you best move out my way!
Doomfist: Heavy D can not hear you; his will is under the power of Black Adam; an associate of Jedah Dohma!
Lana gasps, and Elena seems afraid.
Balrog: I'm here to squash that fool, D, and if you want your ass kicked, too, you've just made the list, Dickhead! Heavy D, and his boys, did some shady, questionable shit, back then, and he allegedly hurt a good friend of mines! I'm here to settle the score!
Doomfist: Your petty squabble has absolutely nothing to do with me, nor do I care about the Sports Team, or your problems with them; but, you would make a nice addition to Jedah's army!
Balrog: Like Hell, you son of a Bitch!
Balrog engages Doomfist, and the two Brawlers go toe to toe. Massively powerful punches are being thrown, and the battle begins. Heavy D and Lucky Glauber tries to grab Elena, but Elena is faster than they are, and she uses her kicks to play keep away, with the two members of the Sports Team. Balrog is doing his best to attack Doomfist, but Doomfist's cybernetic gauntlet is keeping Balrog at bay. As the battle rages on, Balrog and Doomfist manages to strike each other, and just when they are about to deliver a decisive blow, to one another, Black Adam interrupted their battle.
Black Adam: I see T'Challa has sent his pathetic forces to mount an attack.
Doomfist: No one asked you to come here, Adam; be gone, this is my fight!
Black Adam: Jedah may have brought this group together, but Kahndaq is my kingdom, and I'll decide how I deal with intruders.
Out of nowhere, Lana creates a giant tornado, and she rushes in, to help Elena and Balrog.
Black Adam: What is this wind!?
Elena: Those clothes….you're Leopold Goenitz's daughter, aren't you!?
Lana: Yes, we have to get out of here!
Doomfist: You're not going, anywhere!
Doomfist tries to attack Lana, and Balrog grabs him, in a Full Nelson. Elena places her hands on Doomfist's temples, and she uses her healing powers.
Elena: Akande Ogundimu, I need you to wake up!
Lana: I can't hold them, at bay, forever!
Doomfist tries to fight Elena's healing powers, and he passes out, while Lana calls her father.
Balrog: Let's get out of here!
Lana: Follow me!
Lana teleports Doomfist, Balrog, and Elena to the Sky Stage, while Lana takes the Quinjet, and T'Challa's guards, back to Wakanda. While Lana fills T'Challa in, on what happened, Angela and Lisa tend to Doomfist and Balrog, while Elena stays by Balrog's side. Akande is still unconscious, and Gabriel, Sombra, Amelie, and Moira are with him, while Angela holds Moira's hand, and Balrog is up, and he's laughing with Elena. Cammy is about to knock on Balrog's door, when she hears Elena referring to Balrog as her lover, and future husband, and how Balrog plans to remain in Wakanda, with T'Challa and Elena. Cammy sheds one tear, and she wipes it, away, as she plans to return, later, with the rest of the Bogard Family. While everyone is concerned about Doomfist, Balrog, and the appearance of Black Adam, Shizumaru, Shiryuu, and Felicia are taking a Sky Noah to Seattle, Washington, to meet Andrew Jackson, and future President Noelle Rabinowitz, and her family. Shizumaru flies the Sky Noah, while Shiryuu and Felicia look over the Rabinowitz Family's files.
Felicia: I'm very glad that the Rabinowitz Family are devoted Christians; this makes things easier, for all of us.
Shiryuu: Yes. Miss Rabinowitz can usher in an era of peace, for the entire world; that, and she has everyone supporting our two teams. Felicia, may I ask a question?
Felicia: Sure, ask me anything!
Shiryuu: You're like an aunt to Shizumaru, right?
Felicia: I've been like family to him, since the Redeemers formed, years ago; he's a great kid. Why do you ask?
Shiryuu: Is he attracted to me, or something; is that why he picked me, for this mission?
Felicia: Shizumaru; attracted to you? Sweetheart, my young nephew is Gay; he likes guys.
Shiryuu: Oh! Forgive me. I'm attracted, mostly, to women, and I was unsure of Shizumaru's motives.
Felicia: It's alright. Shizumaru has been that way since he was 12; he's now 18, and he's really grown into the young man he's meant to be. Actually….
Shiryuu: Actually?
Felicia: Your silver hair, and long katana reminds Shizumaru of his adopted uncle, Zankuro Minazuki.
Shiryuu: It does?
Felicia: Shizumaru saved Zankuro's life, once, and they have been close, ever since. Zankuro's daughter is like a sister to Shizumaru, and she, like me, was one of the first people to find out that Shizumaru likes other men.
Shiryuu: Fascinating. I'll talk to Shizumaru, later, and hear what he has to say; he seems like a lovely young man.
Felicia: You're both 18; you should get along well.
Shiryuu: Yeah, we should.
Felicia: Shizumaru is always welcomed by the other young members of the Last Resort and Shadow Panzer, but he keeps mostly to himself. I don't think it's the fact that he's gay, it's probably due to the fact that he lost his parents, as an infant, and he doesn't even know his real name.
Shiryuu: I see. I'll make sure to be extra nice to him, and I will treat him with care, and respect.
Felicia: I know you will. Welcome to our family; the Redeemers, that is.
Shiryuu: Thank you, Miss Felicia.
Shizumaru acts as if he can't hear a thing, but he can hear Felicia and Shiryuu, perfectly. Shizumaru smiles, and he continues to fly the Sky Stage, as the trio heads to Seattle, Washington. Once the trio gets to Seattle, Ken Masters has a limo waiting for them, and the trio is driven to the Rabinowitz Family's mansion.
Shiryuu: So, Shizumaru, tell me about yourself.
Shizumaru: Well, you already know that I'm Gay; yes, you remind me of Zankuro, and don't worry, I am totally fine with being friends, with you.
Shiryuu: You heard us, huh?
Shizumaru: Yes, I did; you're a fellow Swordsperson, and I respect you, for it. I just wanted to team with the legendary Shiryuu Chouun, is all.
Shiryuu blushes, and she pats Shizumaru on the shoulder. The ride wasn't that long, and the Limo drops Shizumaru, Shiryuu, and Felicia off, at the Rabinowitz manor. Andrew Jackson, and Noelle Rabinowitz, meets the young heroes, at the front door.
Andrew: Shizumaru, I didn't know they were sending you!
Shizumaru: I volunteered for this mission, and I believe I can handle the stress.
Andrew: You also brought Felicia Talbain, and Miss….
Shiryuu: Shiryuu Chouun, at your service.
Andrew: Andrew Jackson, and this is the future President of the United States, Madame Noelle Rabinowitz.
Noelle: It's an honor to meet you all. Andrew has told me all about you all, and I'm honored to support the Last Resort and Shadow Panzer. Why don't you all come in? I want you to meet my beautiful children.
Shizumaru: Yes, ma'am.
Shiryuu: It would be an honor.
Felicia: Lead the way!
Noelle and Andrew leads the trio to the Family Room, where Noelle's four children are watching television.
Noelle: Children, I'd like you to meet your new Security Team: Shizumaru Hisame, Shiryuu Chouun, and Felicia Talbain. That is my eldest child, Kira….
Kira: It's a pleasure to meet you.
Shiryuu: The pleasure is all ours, Miss Kira.
Noelle: ….and my middle children are twins: Jason and Jane….
Jane: I still can't believe that we have actual Superheroes in our home!
Jason: Not to mention, great looking ones, at that!
Shizumaru blushes, while Felicia nods, and Shiryuu smiles.
Noelle: ….my youngest child is Sarah; this is my lovely family.
Sarah: Miss Felicia, are you a giant cat!? I love cats!
Felicia: Yes, I am, actually! I'm a Werecat! It's a pleasure to meet you!
Sarah jumps up, and she hugs Felicia, tight.
Sarah: You're so soft, and cuddly! Do you mind!?
Felicia: Not at all! I love making others happy; it's why God put me here!
Noelle: So, you're Christian?
Felicia: I was raised in the Church, my whole life. I am a strong believer in Lord Father God.
Shizumaru: I, too, being raised by Felicia, and others, am a strong believer in God.
Shiryuu: I don't really practice religion, but I'm seeing more, and more, how wonderful God is.
Noelle: You're in the right place; before you leave my side, young lady, you will be a believer in the Most High God.
Shiryuu: Perhaps; anything can happen.
Shizumaru: If you don't mind me asking, why did you request members of Shadow Panzer, as bodyguards, Ma'am?
Noelle, and her daughters seem uneasy, all of the sudden, while Jason is calm.
Noelle: It seems my public support of the Last Resort and Shadow Panzer has gained me the attention of some of your enemies.
Felicia: Really, who!?
Noelle: It's hard to explain, but ever since I decided to take Antonov and Heinlein's place in the White House, my family, and I, have been having these very dark and disturbing nightmares; well, Jason claims that he is alright, but my daughters complain about horrible, demon filled nightmares, and….
Andrew: You can tell them, Noelle….
Shiryuu: You're safe with us, Madame Noelle; we are here to help.
Noelle looks at her daughters, and they nod to their mother to continue.
Noelle: ….in the nightmares, my daughters, and I, are being attacked by demons; brutally attacked, and raped….
Shizumaru: Christ, on His throne!
Felicia: Good God, no!
Shiryuu: Those monsters, how dare they!?
Noelle: ….I am a firm believer in the Lord, and no force of evil will stop me from serving the Lord, God's people, or this country! I know you all are here, for a reason, and God chose you three, specifically! Please….please help us!
Shiryuu: Ma'am, what ever force of evil is behind this we will find them, and slay them!
Felicia: We will do it, in the Name of God!
Shizumaru: You're all safe, now. I promise!
Noelle's daughters hug Shizumaru, and thank him.
Kira: You're the best!
Sarah: You're awesome, Mr. Shizumaru!
Jane: God bless you, all!
Shizumaru blushes, and he looks at Jason, who has a smirk on his face. Shizumaru blushes, even more, due to his instant attraction to the handsome Jason Rabinowitz. In the privacy of Noelle's office, Shizumaru calls up Angela Ziegler, and Morrigan Aensland.
Shizumaru: That's what I know, thus far.
Morrigan: Hmmm….it could be some sort of dream demon, rogue Succubus, or even a rogue Incubus.
Angela: What do you need us to do, Shizumaru?
Shizumaru: Well, I definitely want you to keep this between the three of us, unless we need more fire power, and if it is some sort of demon, I am definitely going to need your knowledge, Aunt Morrigan.
Morrigan: You already know I'd die for you, my beautiful Shizumaru. Aunt Morrigan is here, and ready.
Angela: You said Jason isn't a victim of these nightmares?
Shizumaru: He seems perfectly fine, and he has a weird aura, around him.
Morrigan: Shizumaru, you're blushing!
Shizumaru: I am not!
Morrigan: Yes you are! Is Jason a hottie, my sweet Nephew?
Shizumaru: ….he….he's cute….
Morrigan: Hmmm….be careful, my dear Nephew; if you're dealing with a Succubus, or Incubus, they may try to get to you, through your desires.
Angela: Call us, if you need us.
Shizumaru: Got you; thank you, both. Shizumaru, out.
Shizumaru heads towards the dinning room, and he takes a seat, between Felicia and Shiryuu.
Noelle: I hope you like homemade lasagna, Shizumaru.
Shizumaru: Whatever you serve will be a blessing, Miss Noelle.
Noelle: I appreciate your kindness, Shizumaru. Jane, where's your brother?
Jane: He's upstairs, playing video games.
Noelle: Well, dinners ready; could you go grab him, Shizumaru?
Shizumaru: Yes, ma'am.
Shizumaru heads upstairs to grab Jason, and it didn't take long for Shizumaru to locate Jason's room. Shizumaru is nervous, but he walks in, while Jason is playing a sexual visual novel, called, "Snow Daze: The Music of Winter".
Shizumaru: Jason….your mother wants you to come downstairs, for dinner.
Jason pauses the game, and he looks at Shizumaru, with a devilish grin.
Jason: What's the matter, Shizumaru; never seen an adult game, before?
Shizumaru: No, it's not that….I….I….does your mother know that you play games, like this?
Jason: No, and I'd like to keep it that way.
Jason gets up, with an obvious hard on, and he walks over to Shizumaru, who is blushing, hard.
Jason: Do you see something you like, Shizumaru?
Shizumaru tries not to look down.
Shizumaru: How old are you?
Jason: I'm 18, so is my twin sister. Kira is 24, and Sarah is 15; why?
Shizumaru: I don't wanna break any laws. I'm 18, too.
Jason presses against Shizumaru, and whispers in his ear.
Jason: That game, I'm playing, is about a teenage boy, who wants to fuck his twin sister, older sister, younger sister, and his own mother; it's pretty intense.
Shizumaru: That's….that's disgusting….
Jason: Maybe, but it's so freaking hot! What turns you on?
Shizumaru: I'm not attracted to women….
Jason: Oh! Now I get why you're so red, in the face; you wanna see some guy on guy action, don't you?
Shizumaru: Jason….this isn't right….
Jason: Tell you what: Don't tell my mother about the game, and I'll let you deep throat my cock; deal?
Shizumaru moves away from Jason, and Jason unzips his pants; revealing a more than average size cock, for an 18 year old.
Jason: See; isn't it beautiful, Shizu?
Shizumaru: Jason, stop this!
Jason pushes Shizumaru against the wall, and he grabs Shizumaru's hardening cock, through the fabric of his jeans.
Jason: You have a nice dick, there, Shizu; can I play with it?
Shizumaru pushes Jason, away, as Shizumaru struggles to catch his breath.
Shizumaru: Jason, are you even Gay; does your mother know?
Jason: Hmmm, you could say that I'm curious. I've been raised around all women, for years, and after my dad died, all I've ever known was a house full of beautiful, plump women; maybe you can be my first guy….
Shizumaru: Your first guy; you've been with a woman, before?
Jason: Now, now, you ask too many questions; come on, and let's go eat.
Jason zips up his pants, and he smacks Shizumaru on the butt, as he walks pass. Shizumaru is struggling to stay calm, but Jason's aura was overwhelming Shizumaru, to the point where Shizumaru would have let Jason take his ass, and would have never second guessed his decision. Shizumaru heads downstairs, and he sits between his two friends.
Shiryuu: Shizumaru, are you okay?
Shizumaru: I just had to use the bathroom, is all….
Jason smirks at Shizumaru, and Shizumaru blushes, again.
Sarah: You must like video games, too, because you took long enough to grab Jason.
Shizumaru: Video games are okay. I mostly train, and read.
Kira: My kind of guy; you can never be too smart!
Noelle: Eat up, people; we have a big day, tomorrow. I'm giving my first speech, and I hope to nab as many voters as possible!
Andrew: Noelle, with your great American charm, Christian beliefs, and strong will, you will take this country into a new era of greatness!
Felicia: I totally support you, Miss Rabinowitz!
Shiryuu: You'll definitely have my vote, ma'am!
Noelle: Great to hear, guys! I hope that Shadow Panzer, and the Last Resort, will aid me, in bringing peace to the world.
Shizumaru: Yes, ma'am, we will.
Jason licks his lips, at Shizumaru, and Shizumaru blushes, as Jason rubs Shizumaru's cock, with his foot, underneath the table. Shizumaru controls himself, and he eats dinner, while he tries his best not to look at Jason. After dinner, Noelle shows Shizumaru, Shiryuu, and Felicia to the two guestrooms.
Noelle: Here you are; make yourselves at home.
Shiryuu: Felicia, you can take a room to yourself. I don't mind sharing one with Shizumaru.
Shizumaru: Are you sure, Shiryuu?
Shiryuu: I'm sure; we need to get to know one another, as teammates, anyway.
Felicia: Alright, you two, remember we're getting up at 4:00 AM, so don't stay up, too late.
Shizumaru: Yes, Aunt Felicia.
Noelle: Sleep tight, you three; the limousine will be here, at 5:00 AM, tomorrow morning. Andrew will be back, then, to take us all to the Columbia Center, for the speech. God bless, and goodnight.
Felicia: Goodnight, Miss Noelle.
Shiryuu: Goodnight, ma'am.
Shizumaru: Goodnight.
Noelle: See you all in the morning.
Noelle heads to her room, while Jason, Jane, Kira, and Sarah head to bed. Felicia falls instantly asleep, while Shiryuu takes a shower, as Shizumaru lies on the bed; wearing shorts and a tank top. Shiryuu comes out of the shower, and she's fully naked, but Shizumaru can only look at the ceiling, as he thinks of Jason's advances towards him.
Shiryuu: Well, I see that I can trust you with my body.
Shizumaru: Huh? Oh, I've seen Aunt Felicia, Aunt Morrigan, and even Aunt Nakoruru naked, plenty of times, and I'm use to it. I'm not a pervert, Miss Chouun.
Shiryuu: Sorry, Shizu. I didn't take you for the Gay type, and I figured I test your resolve. I apologize; it seems you really aren't attracted to women.
Shizumaru: No, I'm not. Plus, I have someone else on my mind.
Shiryuu: Who?
Shiryuu Begins to dry off her private parts, and under her breast, while she talks to Shizumaru.
Shizumaru: Jason….he's Gay, too.
Shiryuu: Seriously; does Miss Noelle know?
Shizumaru: I don't think so. Jason comes off as the type who is embarrassed to tell his family that he's Gay, so he hides it, while trying to come off as overly perverse, and hungry for women.
Shiryuu: What brings you to that conclusion?
Shiryuu gets in the bed, naked, next to Shizumaru, and she gets under the covers, while still facing Shizumaru, and Shizumaru turns to face Shiryuu.
Shizumaru: Jason came on to me, before dinner, and while we were eating, he touched my cock, with his foot, several times.
Shiryuu: How old is he, again?
Shizumaru: He's 18; so is Jane, Kira is 24, and Sarah is 15.
Shiryuu: Hmmm, nice family they've got here; well, if Jason is embarrassed maybe you're the one to help him talk to his family, about being Gay.
Shizumaru: I can do that, but….
Shiryuu: But, what?
Shizumaru: Don't you feel that; that uneasy feeling, in the air? It feels like something is watching us, and something is ready to pounce on us, as soon as we're asleep.
Shiryuu: Trust me, I feel it, but I know we can defeat it; whatever it is. We will stop the demon, who's plaguing the Rabinowitz Family, and we shell show no mercy.
Shizumaru: Yes, we will. Shiryuu….
Shiryuu: Yes, Shizu?
Shizumaru: Thank you; you're a great friend.
Shiryuu smiles, and she kisses Shizumaru on the forehead.
Shiryuu: You're now my Brother-In-Arms; we will stand, fight, live, and die, together.
Shizumaru: I concur, my Sister-In-Arms! Goodnight, Shiryuu.
Shiryuu: Goodnight, Shizu.
Shiryuu and Shizumaru both fall asleep, and they hold hands; fingers intertwined, and peaceful, as their weapons lie on the floor, near the bed, where they can reach them. Everyone is asleep, but Jason, as he leaves his room, to head to his mother's room. Jason snaps his fingers, and soft music begins to play through the vents, and walls, of the house. Noelle, Sarah, Kira, and Jane are all in a deep sleep, and Jane, Kira, and Sarah all begin to sleep walk to Noelle's room. One Noelle's daughters are all in Noelle's room, they all strip out of their night clothes, and they all get on their knees, next to Noelle's bed. Noelle sleeps naked, so she didn't have to remove any clothing, but Jason removes the covers from his mother's body, as Noelle lies on her back, and her legs are wide open. Jason smiles, and he spreads out his arms, as Jason begins to gather dark energy. Tentacles of energy emit from Jason's body, as they wrap around his sisters, and some of the tentacles begin to enter Noelle's vagina, and she moans in her sleep. Jane, Kira, and Sarah begin to moan in their sleep, as a cat-like demon appears above Jason's head.
Cypress Zeta: Yes, yes! Once I'm finally done feeding off of you four, I will devour those three Shadow Panzer idiots! Lord Jedah better reward me, for taking out those three!
Noelle, Jane, Kira, and Sarah are all having dreams, which involves them being sexually pleased by Jason. Cypress Zeta is using Jason to harm his own family, and to ruin the future President of the United States. Noelle is dreaming that her own son is having intercourse with her, and Noelle tries to fight it, in her mind, as she let's out a moan of desperation. Shizumaru hears this moan, and he gets out of bed, and grabs his sword and umbrella. Shizumaru heads to Noelle's room, where he sees lights coming from under the door, and Shizumaru opens the door, to reveal a horrible sight. Jason is in a trance, while his sisters are entangled in tentacles, and they are wetting the floor, with vaginal juices, while tentacles are making their way inside of Noelle's vagina.
Shizumaru: Jason, what are you doing!?
Cypress Zeta: Mind your business!
Cypress Zeta blasts Shizumaru with a beam of energy, and Shizumaru blocks it, with his sword, as Shiryuu and Felicia show up.
Shiryuu: What is this!?
Felicia: Cypress Zeta!? How did he get free!?
Shizumaru: You know him!?
Felicia: He's a cross between a Werecat, and an Incubus; he's bad news, and King Belial sealed him up! Jedah must have freed him!
Shiryuu: Leave them, alone, demon!
Cypress Zeta: They're just appetizers; you're the main course!
Cypress Zeta sends tentacles to entangle Shizumaru, Shiryuu, and Felicia, and the three heroes can't escape.
Shiryuu: Dammit! We're trapped!
Felicia: He's going to mind rape us, before he attacks our bodies! Zeta, you fiend!
Cypress Zeta: Don't worry, Felicia, your friends, in Shadow Panzer and the Last Resort, will soon join you!
Shizumaru: No, Jason….Miss Noelle….Aunt Morrigan, I need you!
Cypress Zeta places Shiryuu, Shizumaru, and Felicia into a deep sleep, and Morrigan suddenly hears the cries of her beloved Nephew. Morrigan awakes from her slumber, and Demitri is still asleep. Morrigan summons her costume, and she teleports to the Rabinowitz Family's mansion. Morrigan sees Cypress Zeta, as his tentacles are attempting to enter Shiryuu and Felicia, and Morrigan fires a Soul Fist into Cypress Zeta's back.
Cypress Zeta: You Bitch!
Morrigan: You sick Bastard; didn't King Belial lock you up!?
Cypress Zeta: Jedah gave me a pardon, as long as I made sure Noelle never takes Office; with her in charge of the United States, she will convince the world to get behind you fucking heroes! I'm here to make her Jedah's slave!
Morrigan: How dare you!? This is too much; for this, you will be judged and punished!
Cypress Zeta: Catch me, if you dare!
Cypress Zeta takes the souls of Shizumaru, Shiryuu, Felicia, Noelle, Kira, Jane, and Sarah into Jason's mind, and before Morrigan gives chase, she lies Kira, Jane, Sarah, and her friends in their own beds, and Morrigan takes Jason's body back to the Astro Stage.
Morrigan: Nine, I need you!
Morrigan screams for Nine, the Phantom, as the Shadow Panzer gathers in the Auditorium, as they watch Morrigan, Nine, Angela, Moira, Ryofu, and Haohmaru in the Infirmary; watching over a sleeping Jason. The Sky Stage's Sky 1 is linked into the Astro Stage's cameras, and the Last Resort can see all that is going on.
Heidern: Let me get this straight: Cypress Zeta, a Cat Demon, has three of the Shadow Panzer and Noelle Rabinowitz's family trapped inside the mind of Noelle's son!?
Morrigan: He's trying to torture them, but I'm helping them fight him off, until Nine, and I, can enter Jason's mind.
Jack M: Then what!?
Nine: We can easily get their souls back, but after all that Zeta has done, I'm not sealing him in the Boundary. I'm going to kill him!
Captain America: That's not how we do things, Konoe!
Nine: Steve, never call me that name, again! I am Nine, the Phantom!
Moira: Nine, listen to reason; you can't kill Cypress Zeta; even after….
Nine: No, he dies; whether you like it, or not!
Morrigan: Nine….
Batman: What's your problem, Phantom? Until now, you never encountered Zeta, so why do you hate him, so much?
Nine: Zeta is like Relius Clover, or Yuki Terumi; men, who think their crimes against women will go unpunished! I am sick of that bullshit, and Zeta will be the first to pay!
Ryofu: Only God can judge, Nine; we are not judge, jury, and executioner.
Nine: I'll deal with whatever punishment God will dish out to me, but Zeta will be destroyed!
Jason begins to tremble.
Morrigan: We're going in! Nine, place your hands on Jason's forehead, and his chest, while I do the same!
Haohmaru: Bring them back….please.
Morrigan: We will.
Nine: We most definitely will!
Gentoku: Shiryuu is one of my best friends; please do what you must, to save her, Nine!
Nine nods to Gentoku, and Nine closes her eyes, while Morrigan closes hers; within minutes, Nine and Morrigan are inside of Jason's head, and they are standing outside of a corrupted version of Morrigan's castle.
Morrigan: Damn him! Zeta wants my realm; he won't have Makai, or any realm, for that matter!
Nine: Morrigan, you and I are equally powerful, but if you stop me from killing Cypress Zeta, I will not hesitate to….
Morrigan: Nine, I want him dead, too; tell me, what did Relius Clover do to you, while you were under Izanami's control?
Nine sighs, and she looks into the sky.
Nine: He raped me; not my body, but my soul, my mind, and my will. Relius won't lay a finger on a women, because of the respect he had for his dead wife, but he delights in mental and emotional rape. Clover showed me things; horrible things, and I could do nothing to stop him….
Morrigan: Nine, I wanted your help, because you have the power to help me end Cypress Zeta, for good; he's a class above me, and I can't defeat him, alone.
Nine: It's my pleasure, Aensland; let's go rescue our friends!
Morrigan: Let's go!
Morrigan and Nine fly into the castle, and as they enter they are greeted by zombies.
Nine: I'll hold them off; you get to Shizumaru, and the others!
Morrigan: I'm on it!
Nine summons her flames, and she burns down some attacking zombies, while Morrigan flies up the steps, and to the top of the castle. On the roof, Cypress Zeta is waiting, while he has Shizumaru, Shiryuu, Felicia, Noelle, Kira, Jason, Jane, and Sarah chained, crucified, to giant crosses, while they are naked.
Morrigan: Zeta, you fiend; let them go!
Cypress Zeta: Give me the Makai, and I will let them live; we can walk away, and no one gets hurt!
Morrigan: You just want the Makai, so you can satisfy your sick, sexual desires! I may be a Succubus, but making a woman dream of her own son raping her, and then nearly allowing it to become a reality, is too great a crime for me to allow you to live!
Cypress Zeta: Too bad! With Noelle out of the way, the world will soon turn on your two groups of weapons of mass destruction!
Morrigan: If that's our fate, then we will face it, head on!
Cypress Zeta: Not before you watch these innocent people die!
Cypress Zeta begins to set the base of the crosses on fire, while he attacks Morrigan.
Morrigan: No, you son of a bitch!
Cypress Zeta: I win, Daughter of Belial!
Nine: No, you don't!
Nine blasts the base of the crosses, with an ice beam, and then Nine kicks Cypress Zeta across the jaw; sending him off the side of the castle.
Nine: Are you okay, Morrigan!?
Morrigan: I'm fine, but he's not dead, yet!
Nine: I know….
Cypress Zeta claws his way to the top of the castle, as a giant Cat Beast, with two giant cocks, three tails, and four arms.
Nine: I'm already sick of seeing this Bastard!
Morrigan: Zeta, why the two ugly dicks!?
Cypress Zeta: After I fuck you both, to death, you can go to Hell, and tell the demons you were killed by "Cat Magic"!
Zeta tries to claw Morrigan and Nine, but the two Supernatural Goddesses manage to evade Zeta's claws. Morrigan blasts Zeta in the face, with her soul fist, while Nine summons a cloud of arrows, which falls on top of Zeta, from above. Zeta fires a beam of fire, out of his mouth, while Morrigan blocks it, and Nine wraps a chain around Zeta's neck, bringing him down to the ground. Zeta grabs the chain, and he spins it around; spinning Nine, with it. Nine sends waves of electricity into the chain, and she shocks Zeta, while Morrigan prepares her Soul Eraser.
Morrigan: Zeta, you do know who I am, right!?
Cypress Zeta: You're some pathetic Succubus, who fucked her way into power, and took the Makai for herself!
Morrigan: Wrong! I'm the daughter of Belial: Morrigan Aensland!
Cypress Zeta: Impossible! Jedah spoke of no such connection, to King Belial!
Nine: Surprise, Pussy!
Nine summons a sword, and she slices off Cypress Zeta's giant, ugly cocks.
Cypress Zeta: You….BITCH!
Morrigan: Now! Soul Eraser!
Nine: Face destruction, from above! Interstellar Impact!
While Nine summons giant comets, from above, Morrigan fires her Soul Eraser cannon, and Cypress Zeta is hit by both attacks. After the flames and smoke clear up, Cypress Zeta is reverted back to normal, and he lies on the ground, half conscious.
Cypress Zeta: You….can't be….the daughter of….
Morrigan: Suck it up, because I am, Dickhead.
Nine: Let's get our friends home.
Morrigan: Indeed; thanks for your help, Konoe.
Nine glares at Morrigan, but then her face softens.
Nine: Only you, and Jubei, can call me that name.
Morrigan: Thank you, Sister.
Nine and Morrigan frees Shizumaru, and the others, and the souls of their friends, and the Rabinowitz Family, returns to their bodies. Morrigan teleports the Rabinowitz Family to the Astro Stage, and Shizumaru, Shiryuu, and Felicia are sitting with everyone else, in the Auditorium; the Sky Stage can still see what's going on, as Andrew Jackson shows up, on the Astro Stage, while Nine and Morrigan tells Noelle, and her children, what Cypress Zeta did. Nine holds Cypress Zeta, by the throat, but Cypress Zeta is still alive.
Noelle: You MONSTER! You were going to defile my entire family, and you were using my own son, to do it!?
Cypress Zeta: Hee, hee, hee, hee! I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for these fucking Bitches….GAH!
Nine tightens her hold on Cypress Zeta's neck.
Morrigan: Miss Noelle, to be honest, Nine, and I, believes that this piece of garbage needs to die; what Zeta did was rape, and we have victims of rape, here, on the Shadow Panzer and Last Resort, respectively.
Shiryuu: If that fiend would have violated me, I'd be ripping him to shreds, right now.
Felicia: God forgives us, therefore, we should forgive.
Captain America: Banishment to the Boundary, or some other place, sounds more fitting.
Superman: Out there exist universes, where people, like us, have already taken the law into their own hands, and it never ends well.
Goku: To be honest, I've taken out my share of bad guys, but Zeta is beaten; time to lock him up.
Kenshiro: We already discussed sending beings, like him, to the Boundary. I believe that's the best course of action.
Honoka: I can open a portal to the Boundary, until Kokonoe finishes her device, for Tartarus; the prison Leo Star is building.
Leo S: Tartarus will house all of the villains we bring in, and once the more powerful ones are trapped in the Boundary, we can house the lesser villains in the Maximum Security Prison portion, of Tartarus.
Nine: No!
Nine holds onto Cypress Zeta, very tightly.
Cypress Zeta: Ha, you stupid Witch; you still plan to kill me, even though your friends told you not to? Tell me, Konoe A. Mercury: How did it feel, when Relius violated your mind, and broke your will down, to nothing?
Nine: Shut Up!
Jubei: Honey, what does he mean? You never told me what happened, while you were Hades Izanami's slave; what happened to you?
Nine begins to grit her teeth.
Cypress Zeta: You seem to love cats, Konoe. I am sure since you let that old fool, Jubei, enter you, you should definitely love what I can do to you, and for you.
Cypress Zeta smiles, and Nine is getting very angry.
Kira: He's what you're all up against? You should end his miserable life!
Noelle: Kira!
Jane: Mom, Kira is right; if there are more evil creatures, like this, out there, imagine what the others are like! This world is doomed!
Jason: Mom, he spent weeks inside of my head; he was planning on doing such horrible things to you, and he was going to use me to carry out those horrible things! Mom….
Shizumaru places a hand on Jason's shoulder, and Jason receives a nod, from Shizumaru.
Jason: ….I'm Gay, Mom. I didn't know how to tell you, and Cypress Zeta took advantage of my fears, that you would hate me, and he was using me to violate you all! I have been struggling with my attractions, my feelings, and my devotion to God, and in a moment of weakness Cypress Zeta took advantage of me! I'm sorry, Mom. Jane, Kira, Sarah….I'm sorry….
Noelle hugs Jason, and she keeps her baby boy close to her heart.
Noelle: Jason, only God can judge us. I love you, no matter what! It doesn't matter who you love, son; male or female, as long as they treat you like the prince, you are! I will always love you, Jason.
Jason: I love you, too, Mom!
While Noelle hugs her son, and her daughters come over to hug their brother, and mother, Nine smiles, for the first time, in a long time, and that smile is interrupted by Cypress Zeta's laughing.
Cypress Zeta: Hee, hee, hee, hee! How touching! Cherish this moment, because they are coming for you!
Heidern: They?
Cypress Zeta: Jedah was given an army, by the One From Beyond; he is equally powerful, and on par with Dr. Manhattan and Kumagawa!
Moira: Who's in this army; who's the One From Beyond!?
Cypress Zeta: Nope, I've said enough, now DIE!
Cypress Zeta pulls out a red gem, and before he could use it, Nine grabs Zeta's hand, and crushes it, while taking the gem, from him.
Captain America: That's the Reality Gem!
Nine looks into Zeta's eyes, and she uses her magical vision powers, and Nine gives Zeta a lobotomy. Cypress Zeta is still alive, but he can no longer think, act, or move for himself, and Nine drops his limp body on the floor. Nine holds the Reality Gem, and she tosses it to Shiryuu.
Nine: That one is yours. Hakufu has the Mind Gem, and now Seito Academy has the Reality Gem.
Lili: Wait, you can't just….
Nine: We found this gem, too; we're keeping it safe! Do what you want, with Zeta, now. I'm done, here!
Noelle: Miss Mercury, are you alright?
Captain America: Reyes, Wayne, you're not going to let this stand, are you!?
Batman: Zeta is still alive; she didn't kill him. We'll keep him locked up, here, until Tartarus is finished.
Superman: And then!?
Gabriel: He goes into the Boundary; end of discussion.
Angela: He's as good as dead, if he can't feed, or take care of, himself.
Morrigan: He's a demon, which feeds off of lust, and perversion; he would eventually die in the Boundary, anyway, without those aspects to feed him.
Nine: Noelle, if you want me locked up, I'll gladly turn myself in.
Karin: Fine by me!
Leo S: Kanzuki, shut up! You're one to talk!
Lili: How dare you, Leo!?
Leo S: No, how dare you, two!?
Nine: Enough! What say you, Noelle Rabinowitz; am I a criminal?
Noelle looks at her children, and back at Andrew, and then she looks at Nine.
Noelle: No. Konoe A. Mercury, also known as Nine: The Phantom, will not be punished, for the lobotomy of Cypress Zeta! I, Noelle Rabinowitz, hereby sanction the Shadow Panzer and Last Resort Organizations, and as your future President, I will support both groups, as long as they both support the God's people, the United States of America, and the world!
Sarah: Yeah!
Jane: We're witnessing history!
Nine: Thank you, President Rabinowitz.
Nine walks away, while Angela and Moira watches her. Leo sends her lover, Bashou, to Midnight City; in order to gain incriminating evidence against Lili and Karin, about their secret affair. As Bashou lands in Midnight City, undetected, Noelle takes the stage, at the Columbia Center, and she has her four children, Shizumaru, Shiryuu, and Felicia behind her, while Andrew sits in the audience. Noelle takes the podium, and she speaks.
Noelle: Citizens of the United States of America, and people of the world: I'm awake, now!
While Noelle addresses the people of the world, a group of beings are sitting in shadow, as they are watching Noelle's press conference. One of those beings throws a glass of wine, into a giant monitor, as images of the Shadow Panzer and Last Resort's new enemies appear around the image of Noelle Rabinowitz, on screen. Jedah, Darkseid, Thanos, Relius Clover, Salem, Cinder Fall, Android 21, Abomination, Doomsday, Mr. Sinister, Ultraman, Lex Luthor, and others appear. The world knows about the combined earths, the combined heroes, the combined villains, and only God knows what's coming next.
Ryofu: And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. (Exodus 14:13 - 14 KJV)
