M.U.G.E.N. - All Possibilities - Soul Embrace, A New Tale Of Souls And Swords
Valentine Manor, Barcelona, Spain
8:44 AM, Isabella's Library
Isabella Ivy Valentine De Leon is in her study, with Negan, Salem, Ruby, Weiss, Yang, Blake, Cervantes, Taki, Hana Song, Honoka, Shirase, Julia Chang, Momo, Hinata, Solange, Mai Natsume, Heart Aino, Firika Mia Shatana, Gordeau, Yuzuriha, Nine, Ashe, Ryofu, Makoto, Terry, Jeanne, Geralt, and Jiren. Everyone is sitting down on their knees, and waiting to meditate.
Isabella: I brought you all here, because you're the only people who won't turn, if you're bitten. The Hunger Lantern Corps Virus has no affect on your cells.
Jiren: Why us?
Isabella: Call it luck, call it genetics, call it an act of God...it just doesn't affect you all, or me.
Salem: Why aren't Yang and Negan awake, yet?
Isabella: I've given them an extra dose of Sleeping Potion; they are still under the influence of Perpetua, and we need to calm them down, first, before they can get on board with our plan.
Momo: Yeah, the plan where you melt down everyone's weapons, mix the molten metal with our bodily fluids, and the shards of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge, only to create our new weapons and the Silver Lantern Corps rings? Still sounds like a bunch of bullshit.
Gordeau: Momo...
Ruby R: Momo, please hear her out. Everyone we know is about to fall into the darkest moment of their lives, and we're about to lose countless worlds, with a slim chance of getting them back, so please hear Isabella out.
Honoka: Plus, G isn't with us, on this.
Ryofu: Huh!?
Shirase: Yes, G has left this in our hands; if we fail...It's the end for all of us.
Geralt: Worse case scenario?
Honoka: We're devoured by Zombie M Organization members, never to be crapped out, again.
Heart: We need to act, then, NOW!
Isabella: We will. Valentine Manor is protected by pure magic, and no one can find this place, because it lies on the thin line between Heaven, Earth, Hell, and Purgatory. Our bodies are safe, here, while our minds will head into the Positive Zone of Paradise.
Terry: Where!?
Cervantes: The Positive Zone is a place where you can reach anyone, through Psychic Connection, and the world is filled with endless positive energy. There is no way to stay depressed, there, and this is the only way we'll save our friends, once they've been turned into Zombies.
Hana S: There's a way to undo the Zombie Lantern thingy!?
Isabella: Once they've been turned, they will give into their hunger, for flesh and blood. If we can remind all of them about who they are we can bring them back; destroying Perpetua's connection to them should allow for me to cast a giant Phoenix Down Spell, with the Covenant Heart; bringing everyone back to life.
Momo: If it's that easy, we should just do all of that, now, and get this over with!
Honoka: Not that easy...
Everyone looks at Honoka, and Isabella pulls out a book, given to her by Zasalamel. Isabella turns to a chapter about the Blackest Night.
Isabella: We need to head to Tarakia, in order to activate the Three Grimoires, and in order to access the Realms of Light and Darkness. Momo has to absorb the light, and the darkness, in order for her to become our Silver Lantern Corps Power Battery.
Momo: Wait, what!?
Isabella: You'll be the entity, who powers the Silver Lantern Corps rings, like how each Lantern Corps has an entity to power their rings. After Perpetua launches her schemes, all Lantern Corps, except the Silver Lantern Corps, will become Black Hunger Lanterns; eating the flesh of mortals, the innocent, and the guilty, alike.
Zasalamel appears, and he stands next to Isabella. Zasalamel stares at Ruby, and Ruby gulps out of fear.
Isabella: Zasalamel has enough power for one last time stop, especially if he's going to hold someone like Perpetua, at bay. After that, Zasalamel will fade away, and his powers will be sent to a worthy candidate. Ruby...
Ruby R: Huh!?
Zasalamel: You're one of the Eight Pillars of the Universe; a living storehouse of all the ideals, which makes up the universe. You'll also become the Keeper of Time, and Mistress of Knowledge.
Ruby R: Wait, wait, wait, wait I...
Weiss: Don't you dare say you can't do it, Ruby! We've manage to accomplish many things, in this world, and the last one; you and I both know that you can do this!
Ruby R: But, but...
Zasalamel: Catch!
Zasalamel tosses his scythe to Ruby, and Ruby catches it. Ruby is bombarded with future images of a husband, children, the new M Organization, peace, happiness, and the possibility of her mother returning, and Ruby tosses the scythe back to Zasalamel. Ruby has tears in her eyes, as she looks at Gordeau. Zasalamel tells Ruby to keep quiet, for now, and Ruby wipes her tears away.
Zasalamel: When you're ready, come find me. I'll put you through the final test, Ruby Rose.
Ruby nods, and Weiss smiles. Blake holds Ruby's hand, while Blake watches a sleeping Yang. Salem holds Lucille, the baseball bat, as she checks on Negan.
Isabella: Right now, we're going to be placed into a deep sleep. Zasalamel will stop time, one last time, for an hour. We have an hour to reach everyone we can, and find ourselves; who we truly want to be, and why. The computers, here, will extract the necessary bodily fluids from our bodies, while we're sleeping, and after we wake up I'll finish the rest of the potion, myself.
Nine: No, you, Salem, and I will finish the potion.
Isabella: Apparently we're the strongest spell casters, here, so why not? I was waiting for you to speak up, Nine.
Salem: We'll finish the potion, faster, if we work together. Plus, it's going to take time for the molten metal to melt down our weapons, and the shards of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge.
Isabella: This is true, nonetheless. Alright, are we ready!?
Everyone nods, and Ruby sniffs, as she sheds a few tears. Terry looks depressed, and Solange is worried about her younger sister.
Isabella: Close your eyes, everyone; focused on my voice, and let the smell of roses fill your nostrils.
Isabella's Library is filled with mystical roses, which releases a sweet pollen. The pollen places the group in a deep sleep, while Zasalamel stops time, for an hour. The heroes are brought into the Positive Zone, where minds meet, and people come together to resolve deep rooted issues. The world is a mirror image of the real world, and Terry finds herself in South Town, Florida, and standing on the roof of Howard Tower. Terry is wearing a fancy dress, and she's looking over the beautiful view of South Town. Terry begins to shed tears, as Terry thinks about jumping. Terry is at the end of her rope, when she makes up her mind to take her own life.
Isabella: Stop!
Before Terry could make a move, Isabella is on the rooftop, and she's wearing an elegant gown. Terry turns to face Isabella, and Terry tries to hide the tears in her eyes, as Isabella walks up to Terry, and wipes away Terry's tears.
Terry: I can't keep going on, like this...
Isabella: You've definitely suffered a great deal, since this all started, and you've definitely been living in a world of lies.
Terry: First, I'm living as a boy, and Jeff is taken from Andy, and me. Then, I'm caught in a long war with Geese, I gain Alice and Rock, but I lose Mary. I get Jeff back, I gain Chun Li, but I also gain new powers, children, and my "birth parents". I find out all is nothing but a lie, I lose Chun Li, I gain Camilla Nohr, I lose Camilla, I lose my "parents", but I gain Solange, Schwartz, and Andy. Now, all I have is Solange, Jeanne doesn't really want to be in a relationship, and I'm about to lose Andy, Schwartz, Rock, and Alice to a Zombie Plague, while barely knowing anything about my origins, or Taarna and Polydeuces.
Terry begins to cry, while Isabella hugs her. Isabella stands six feet, and four inches tall, the same height as her father, and Terry is six feet, even. Isabella holds the smaller woman, close, and Terry let's out a loud cry.
Isabella: Terry, we were all lied to, by Mably, the Carlas, Azwel, and Perpetua. Perpetua has been using Azwel and Acerola to screw with our memories and lives. Perpetua wanted us to be broken enough to want to accept her Hunger Lantern Corps rings. If we long to die, then the rings will have a stronger hold on our minds. If we want to live, then we can fight the ring's hold on our minds.
Terry: I've lost everything, Isabella….everything, and now I'm going to lose my life, to Perpetua's Zombie Lantern Corps….
Isabella takes Terry by the hand, and Isabella leads Terry to the elevator. Isabella leads Terry to the first floor, and Terry and Isabella walk passed all the happy people, smiling and laughing. People are working, playing, and living, and Isabella takes Terry to a nice park, with a statue if Tsubasa, Holo, and Kurousagi in the middle of the park. The statue reads: "Love, Hope, and Peace, forever." Isabella sits on a bench, with Terry, and Isabella holds Terry's hands.
Isabella: You're Terry Bogard; daughter of Jeff Bogard, sister of Schwartz, Solange, and Andy Bogard, mother of Rock and Alice, and one of Taarna and Polydeuces' four children; created out of pure love. You're not science experiment, Terry. You have a soul, you have a life, you have love in your heart, and you can survive this.
Terry: My whole life has been a lie...
Isabella: I felt the same way, when I had to find out that Cervantes is my father. I wanted to die, too. Terry, let me be here for you. Let me love you, and appreciate you. We don't have to move too fast, we don't have to be lovers. I just want to ease the pain of a beautiful, young girl.
Terry smiles, she wipes her tears, and she looks at the statues of Tsubasa, Holo, and Kurousagi. Terry leans on Isabella, and Terry blushes.
Terry: I just want someone to love me, and not lie to me. I need a real partner, not a one night stand, or quick piece of ass.
Isabella: I assure you that I am neither of those things. I truly desire to take care of you, I'll prove myself to you, over time. Polydeuces placed a bit more love into creating you, and Solange, and I don't know why. You both smell of pure sweetness and endless possibilities. You, you definitely make my heart skip a beat, Terry.
Terry: Help me save Rock, Alice, Andy, Schwartz, Joe, Jeff, Master Tung, and the others, and I'll gladly give you the opportunity to date me. But...why me, Ivy?
Isabella: You're adorable, as a woman, and I'm glad that you're in your true body, now. You have a good heart, and you're a leader, among the members of the M Organization. People believe in you. I believe in you. You're also the Sorceress: Shazam. You're a key factor in the war against evil. I just simply adore you, Terry.
Terry: I need to find myself. I need to find who I am. Sadly, I feel like nothing more than a failed experiment.
Isabella: Terry, you were created with the full love and knowledge of Taarna and Polydeuces, who only created four children in a lab, because they couldn't give birth the conventional way. Taarna can't mate with anyone, other than a Tarakian, so they had to bring about children somehow. You're Terry Bogard. You're a beloved daughter, a treasured friend, and a great warrior for justice. You're also the mother of Rock and Alice, your TRUE children.
Terry wipes her tears, and she smiles a genuine smile. Terry kisses Isabella on the cheek, and Isabella holds Terry close. Isabella thinks of the hell she's going to catch from Mary, Chun Li, Carol, and Camilla, but Isabella will stand her ground, for the woman she loves. Isabella pats Terry's leg, and Isabella beckons Terry to follow her. Isabella leads Terry to her limo, and Cervantes is driving. Isabella lets Terry get in, first, and Isabella gets in and sits next to her love interest.
Cervantes: We have to find the others, and make sure that everyone's heads are on straight. There is no turning back, once we've cleared this realm.
Terry: I'm ready, Sir. I believe in myself, and I have Solange and Isabella with me.
Cervantes: Call me "Cervantes", Terry, and my daughter may be a royal pain in my ass, but I know how she feels about you. She'll do right by you, Bogard. She witnessed all you went through, and she only wanted to see you happy, in the end. She also is quite fond of Alice and Rock.
Isabella: Who are you, and where's my Dad? My Father never speaks so highly of me, like this.
Cervantes: Shut up, Child! If I didn't love you, I wouldn't be here trying to save you from Zombies!
Terry: I've seen a lot of pain, turmoil, and tragedy, and it was all because of Acerola, Darcia, Azwel, and Perpetua. What do they want, exactly?
Isabella: They want to rearrange the universe in their image, and use us as mortar and brick, for the new Source Wall. They want love, but they want it selfishly, and against our will.
Terry: If they seek love and acceptance they surely are doing it the wrong way.
Isabella: We all crave love and acceptance, Terry. Family is important to us, all, and some would kill for a family. I lost my adopted parents to madness, illness, and a quest for immortality. Immortality I've gained, no thanks to my true father, Cervantes: The Dumb, Dickhead Pirate.
Cervantes: Love you, too, even though your mother should have swallowed you.
Isabella and Cervantes playfully glare at each other, as they insult one another, through the rearview mirror. Isabella smiles, and shakes her head; thanking God that the process of having one's Earth destroyed has actually brought out the loving relationship Cervantes and Isabella needed. Terry thinks of Jeff Bogard, Andy, Alice, Rock, Schwartz, and Solange, and Terry is grateful for his family. Isabella places a hand on Terry's lap, and Terry smiles. Terry snuggles up to Isabella, and Isabella feels her heart racing. Isabella holds Terry close, and Terry lets out a giggle. Cervantes drives to Terry's old home, in South Town, and Terry looks upon the old Bogard Manor. Terry gets out the limo, and she gazes upon her former home. Isabella stands next to Terry, and she holds Terry's hand.
Isabella: You know, you can build some better memories, right? You've been through a lot, but it can get better, Tezza.
Terry looks at Isabella, with a slightly shocked look, and Isabella smiles.
Isabella: Mai use to call you that, jokingly, right? I think it's an appropriate name for your feminine form.
Terry: My feminine form? I am a woman.
Isabella: You miss your male form, though, correct? You're a child of Polydeuces and Taarna; the magic that flows through you, is endless, especially with you now being tied to the Powers of Shazam, too. You can control your powers, and switch between forms.
Terry thinks for a second, and she walks up to the door of the Bogard Manor. Terry goes inside, and looks around. Terry looks at all the pictures of Rock, Alice, Joe, Andy, Mai, and Mary. Terry feels bad, and Terry speaks the word.
Terry: Shazam.
A bolt of lightning transforms Terry into his male form, with a black and silver version of Billy Batson's Shazam outfit. Terry looks into a mirror, and Terry sees the Ehrgeiz Sword on strapped to his back.
Isabella: You hold the Powers of Grayskull and Shazam, Terry; destiny is what you make of it. My old life is gone, and I'm stuck with the new destiny Soul Edge and Soul Calibur has left me with. I desire a family, I desire the end of all darkness, and I desire true peace.
Terry turns around, and he looks at Isabella. Isabella leans on Terry, and Terry wraps his arms around her.
Terry: I've been lied to, before, and I really don't want to be lied to, again. I've had my fill of mind games.
Isabella: I know about that better than anyone, Terry. This is why I want to tell you the truth, right out of the gate.
Terry turns to walk away, but Isabella grabs Terry's hand, and pulls Terry into a kiss. Terry sees the truth behind Isabella's plans, why she picked the warriors she did, the truth about Soul Edge and Soul Calibur being used to combine Isabella's team together, as a family, and what is to come Isabella's team, in the future. Terry sees some things he can agree with, and some things he's against, but Terry is on board, either way, because Isabella isn't lying to him, nor is her love a game played by Perpetua, Acerola, Darcia, Azwel, or Elyssa Libitina. Terry breaks the kiss, and he looks at Isabella in the eyes.
Terry: So….that's how it's going to be? If we keep this a secret, then we'll be no better than those we're fighting.
Isabella: It's the only surefire plan we've got, thus far. I've spent a lot of time going over all possible variables, and this is the best way to counteract Perpetua's Hunger Lantern Corps. While you all were battling villain after villain, I was figuring out how to battle the monsters I saw coming. Ragyo thought she could control me, but it was a trick to get close to exactly who was in charge.
Terry: The others won't like this; not one bit.
Isabella: It's the only way, or the world is doomed, nonetheless.
Terry now knows how deep Isabella's plan runs, and how severe the cost is. Terry looks at the pictures of Rock, Alice, Andy, Mai, and Joe, and Terry makes a decision.
Terry: Alright, Isabella, I'll go along with this plan of yours, but in the end….we'll be outcast.
Isabella: We'll be a family….that is what's important.
Terry kisses Isabella on the lips, and he rubs her soft face. Terry takes Isabella by the hand, and he leads her outside, where Cervantes is waiting.
Cervantes: Where are we going, now?
Isabella: The others are in Longview, Texas. Let's teleport there, now.
Terry: I'll handle that part.
Terry grabs onto Isabella and Cervantes, and Terry teleports the three of them to Longview, Texas, and the three heroes are standing on top of one of the tallest buildings in Longview, with a great view of the city.
Cervantes: I'm going to find Jeanne; she's with Ashe and Geralt. I'll catch you two later. Terry, look after my daughter.
Cervantes leaps off the roof of the building, and he lands on the roof of another building, before taking his leave. Isabella looks at Terry, and Terry smiles.
Isabella: Terry, do you really want to go through with this?
Terry: After all I've seen, done, and been through….sure, why not? We're stuck together, you and I. Let's make the most of it.
Terry uses his magic to transform into Tezza, and Tezza is wearing a formal gown. Isabella and Tezza heads to the elevator, and they go to the first floor, and leave the building. Tezza and Isabella takes a moment to stare at the people, living their lives and going about their business, in this realm of peace. Tezza and Isabella can feel Gordeau, Ruby, Momo, Yuzuriha, Yang, Weiss, and Blake, nearby, and Tezza and Isabella decides to go have a talk with them. Honoka and Nine are sitting outside a cafe, and Honoka is looking over some photos she found, while searching through the Paradise Dimension. Honoka is looking at a family of four, and Honoka keeps the photos out of Nine's view.
Nine: What are you looking at?
Honoka: I can't tell you, yet. It's kinda a surprise. I've been putting together pieces of a puzzle, since G gave me Libitina's old job. I've figured out the best course of action for this Universe, if we are to survive.
Nine: Why so secretive, though; aren't we a team?
Honoka: Let me ask you this: Do you truly love Mitsuyoshi, or are you only together for the sex?
Nine: What does that have to do with anything?
Honoka: Just answer me, please.
Nine takes her time, and she thinks about what Jubei means to her. Before the destruction of their old Earth, Jubei and Nine were a happy couple, trying to rebuild what they had with their daughter Kokonoe, and save their Earth. After the birth of the M.U.G.E.N. Omniverse, Jubei and Nine have only really been best friends, while sleeping together, as if they were still married. Kokonoe has been gotten over the fact that she had to grow up without her parents, and Jubei is Nine's best friend, no matter what happens.
Nine: Jubei is, and will always be, one of closest friends. He's Kokonoe's father, and a great man. Why?
Honoka: Are you still married?
Nine: No, we just love fucking each other. If we were, I wouldn't be with Ashe, nor would I have been with Moira, either.
Honoka: If you had to purify yourself, and stop sleeping with Jubei, would you? If the fate of the world depended on it, I mean.
Nine: To save the world, my friends, and my daughter….I would do anything, even change my ways….what's going on, Honoka!? You're worrying me.
Honoka: There is a reason Bruce chose you. You're a lot like him. Nine, here….
Honoka hands Nine the picture, and Nine's eyes go wide as saucers. Nine sees a beautiful woman, married to a very handsome, and powerful, man, with two twin girls. Nine is given another photo by Honoka, and this photo has the woman's ex-husband, eldest child, her new husband, and her twins in the photo. Nine can't believe her eyes, as Nine drops the pictures, and stands up to look away from Honoka.
Nine: That woman.…is she, is she….?
Honoka: That woman is the key to saving us all. First, you need to stop what you're doing, and live like you did back in Highschool. Second, you stopped Hades Izanami, for an entire week, to buy Ragna some time to defeat her, and the Black Beast. Konoe, I need you to stop Perpetua, for at least a week, in order to save our friends. I know you're strong enough.
Nine: Honoka, I can't do that! I lack the power to do that!
Honoka: No, you don't you have Venger's magic, and Venger is as powerful as Polydeuces, Taarna, the Sorceress of Grayskull, and the Wizard: Shazam. Konoe, do it! Jake Wesker has been infected by the Shredder. If Jake bites one of the Speedsters then all is lost! The Hunger Techno Virus will spread to all Superpowered Beings, and our friends will become Perpetua's puppets! Nine, do it!
Nine takes a glance at the photos, and she turns to face Honoka. Nine holds her hands high above her, and the sky turns dark. Meanwhile, Amy Sorel is watching Superman, Goku, Mr. Incredible, and All-Might battle near Tartarus, on television. S.N.N.W. is covering the broadcast. Raphael Sorel is busy in his study, still frantically going over paperwork on Soul Edge and Soul Calibur. Amy doesn't bother Raphael, because he's been prone to becoming very angry, as of late. Honoka appears before Amy, in her spirit form.
Honoka: Amy, its time. I know who you are, child.
Amy stands up, and she looks at Honoka, and Amy doesn't say a word. Amy looks out the nearby window, as the sky goes dark.
Amy: You've forced Aunt Nine to cast the spell, didn't you!? We won't have long!
Honoka: You need not worry about Nine; let Ichika and Neko worry about her, while you get Polydeuces on board with who he truly is.
Amy: He will yell at me, if I bother him.
Honoka: We need him. He has to lead the three Witches to Tarakia, to save Taarna. Without Taarna, or the full power of the Three Grimoires, we won't stop Perpetua. Go!
Honoka fades away, as Amy turns off the television, and she heads to Raphael's study. Amy opens the door, and Raphael gives her an angry stare.
Raphael: I told you to leave me be! What is it, child!? The world is ending, and I need Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, to save it!
Amy: I know where they are, Polydeuces.
Raphael: What!? Who the Hell is Polydeuces!?
Amy: Sigh….SHAZAM!
Amy is struck by lightning, and she transforms into Viola, the older version of Amy Viola Bogard: Daughter of Terry and Isabella Bogard. Raphael is in shock, as Amy holds her crystal ball in front of him.
Amy: Polydeuces, please wake up Grandfather!
Raphael: What, what, what!?
Raphael is shown a vision of Tarakia, where he lived with his wife, Taarna. Raphael Sorel is not Raphael Sorel, but Polydeuces: The descendant of He-Ro and King Grayskull. Polydeuces was confronted, and defeated by Azwel, Acerola, Darcia, and Elyssa Libitina, while Schwartz, Solange, Terry, and Andy were only children. Taarna was trapped inside a stone statue of herself, while Schwartz, Solange, Terry, and Andy were sent to different worlds, to escape the four rogue Angels of Perpetua. Polydeuces used the last of his magic to reincarnate himself in the body of the man known as Raphael Sorel. Amy Viola Bogard, who traveled from the future to observe her Grandfather, found Raphael Sorel/Polydeuces, right when Raphael was about to be killed for "killing a noble". Amy kept her true identity a secret, for hundreds of years, as she lived as Raphael's "daughter", while awaiting the return of Perpetua.
Raphael stands up, and he grabs his sword, and puts on his glasses. Raphael smiles, as he can finally remember who he is. Raphael Sorel is no more, as Polydeuces, one of the greatest Wizards of All-Time, remembers who he is.
Amy: Grandfather?
Polydeuces: So, my disguise worked. Perpetua would have killed me, if she knew who I really was. This means….
Amy: ….that the time has come to assemble the Six Rulers of Might and Magic! Honoka Omega is the Guardian of this Universe, under God's Orders, and she is with your son, my father, Terry, and your daughter, my Aunt, Solange. Andy and Schwartz are in danger!
Polydeuces: The legend of the Hunger Lantern Corps….come, let's help Nine finish her spell!
Amy and Polydeuces teleports to where the bodies of Isabella, and her group, are resting, and Polydeuces holds his right hand out, in front of them.
Polydeuces: Forces of Good, Love, Hope, Peace, and Honor….bring them all to the Realm of Love and Laughter!
Polydeuces teleports Isabella's team to the Paradise Realm, and their spirits and bodies are now one, again, as Polydeuces brings every hero on Earth, not affected by Perpetua, to the Paradise Realm. Zasalamel combines his powers with Nine's, and Perpetua and her armies are halted for a solid week. The heroes have a week to prepare, as Perpetua's Hunger Lantern Corps rings are sent out to deceased heroes and villains, alike. Amy teleports the people of Earth to the Rock of Eternity, and they are all sleeping, while in a special chamber, meant for meditating. This chamber is as endless as the Room of Time and Spirits, and Amy has used a great deal of power to save the entire human race. Amy didn't go to the past, alone, and future members of the M Organization are with the past version of the M Organization, in the Paradise Realm.
Polydeuces and Amy appear before Terry, Isabella, Gordeau, Ruby, Momo, Yuzuriha, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, and Amy passes out; changing back to her fourteen year old form.
Polydeuces: Hello, son….
Tezza: Huh!? Who are you!?
Isabella: That's Amy and Raphael Sorel!
Honoka: No, they are not. This is Polydeuces, and Amy Viola Bogard; daughter of Terry and Isabella Bogard!
Honoka appears, with Nine, as Tezza transforms into Terry. The M Organization awakens in the Paradise Realm, and everyone is wearing formal attire. The heroes are in a realm, where the spirits of humans go to have pleasant dreams. While humanity is physically safe on the Rock of Eternity, their spirits are within the Paradise Realm. Meanwhile, Relius Clover is modifying James Buchanan Barnes' arm, with the help of Asuka R. Kreuz. The Paradise Realm looks exactly like Earth, and Bucky, Relius, and Kreuz are in Sea Coral City, California, and in Relius' Lab.
Relius: James, how does it feel?
Bucky stands up from the operating table, and he moves his arm, around. Bucky looks at the arm, and he smirks.
Bucky: It feels wonderful, Dr. Clover. What did you do to it?
Relius: Dr. Ziegler's Nanotechnology, a new enhanced computer program, and Dr. Kreuz's Gear Modification Procedure has given you the perfect weapon, Sargeant Barnes. You won't even be able to tell that it's cybernetic, unless you look directly at it. It actually feels like you never lost your arm.
Bucky puts his shirt, tie, and vest back on, as he looks at the time. Bucky shakes Dr. Kreuz's hand, and he then shakes Relius' hand, too.
Bucky: Thank you, both, for everything.
Kreuz: Don't mention it. Now, we know you have a meeting with Bruce Wayne, Lili Rochefort, and Kokonoe, so don't be late, Sargeant Barnes. We'll see you, around.
Bucky: Thank you, Doctors! I really appreciate you, both.
Bucky leaves Clover Labs, and he is picked up by Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne's Butler. Alfred opens the door for Bucky, and Alfred gets back into the driver's seat.
Bucky: Thank you, Alfred.
Alfred P: It's my pleasure, Sir. I'll be taking you to Mercury Incorporated. Miss Konoe is away, but that's where you'll be meeting Mr. Wayne.
Bucky: Thank you, Alfred.
Bucky looks out the window of the limo, and Bucky sees two twin girls, at least 18 years of age, walking towards Clover Labs. Bucky looks both girls dead in the eyes, and one girl has short pink hair, while the other girl has long pink hair. One twin has a blue eye and a green eye, and the other twin has two blue eyes. Both twins are dressed nicely, while riding on a motorcycle. Meanwhile, Terry and Isabella can't believe their eyes, as Honoka helps up Amy.
Gordeau: So, Raphael Sorel never existed? Is that what you're telling us?
Polydeuces: Only as my secret identity, while I hid from Perpetua. I blocked my own memory of the events, in order to protect my children from that evil beast. Amy came to the past on her own mission, but abandoned it to save me.
Momo: What mission?
Amy: I can't tell you, just yet. I'm here to save the future, though, by correcting the past.
Nine: Trust her, she's telling the truth.
Isabella and Terry sees a sad look on Nine's face, and Isabella hugs Amy. Terry hugs Polydeuces, and Nine sits down, while Gordeau looks concerned.
Gordeau: Konoe, are you alright?
Nine hands Gordeau the photos, and Ruby and Momo glance at them. In the photos, there are twin girls with pink hair; one has heterochromia blue and green eyes, and the other has blue eyes. Nine is in the photo with Jubei, Kokonoe, and….
Isabella: Amy, all this time! All this time I battled you in the past, I was fighting my own child!?
Amy: Yes, Mother. That doesn't matter, though, because I never stopped loving you. I couldn't tell you the truth.
Terry: I've been tricked into believing someone was my daughter, before, and I won't be fooled, now.
Nine: Perpetua can't reach us, with her magic, here. Amy isn't lying….neither are these pictures.
Amy: Those are pictures of Nine, Jubei, Kokonoe, Ichika, Miyabi Neko Ameno, and Ichika and Neko's father.
Nine uses a portable blood testing kit, built by Angela Ziegler, to take a sample of Terry, Isabella, and Amy's blood. Nine runs the test, and places the device on the table. Terry picks up the device, and he looks at Polydeuces.
Polydeuces: Terry, you have a huge role to play, along with Nine, Negan, Salem, and the man in that photo.
Terry looks at the photo, and he can't believe his eyes, for a second. Terry places the photos down, and Terry looks at Nine.
Terry: Amy, this says you're my daughter, and Isabella is your mother….did Ichika and Neko come back with you, too?
Amy: Yes. They are currently in Sea Coral City, watching their father.
Nine: Are they going to tell him?
Terry looks at Nine, and Nine looks at Amy. Yang is looking at the photos, and Yang giggles. Weiss takes the photos, and she only sighs.
Yang: All three of your daughters look like you, Nine. All of you are absolutely gorgeous.
Amy: Bruce is meeting with their father, right now. Bruce is going to tell him.
Nine jumps out of her seat, and she uses her magic to fly towards Sea Coral City, while leaving everyone stunned.
Honoka: Nine, wait!
Momo: Follow her!
Polydeuces: No! Let Nine handle this! Even though we all play a part in this story, this story, this coming battle, this war….this is Konoe A. Mercury's story….her story, and the story of a Winter Soldier.
Terry: Polydeuces, one thing bothers me….who am I, truly?
Polydeuces shows Terry an image, with his magic. The image shows a young Terry and Tezza, who were suppose to be twins.
Polydeuces: You were born twins, but Tezza became ill, and to save her, I combined you both in the same body. You are Terry and Tezza, in unison. I originally created five children, but now I have four. You are Tezza, and Tezza is you. Flora's magic didn't change you; it brought Tezza back to the surface. We have much to talk about. Let Konoe see her family.
Amy: Plus, we have to find the others.
Blake: I can feel Salem and Negan….and you won't like what they're doing, right now!
Honoka: I don't….let's go!
Ichika Nakano and Miyabi Ameno Neko Barnes shows up to Clover Labs, and the twins let themselves in. Relius is at his desk, and he is writing some notes down.
Ichika: Uncle Relius?
Relius: So, you've finally decided to show up, huh, ladies?
Neko: We saw our father, while coming here. He's heading to see Bruce, right?
Relius: Yes. Wayne will tell your father the truth, but he won't believe it, at first. Ra's Al Ghul was the one to discover Amy Viola Bogard's diary, from several centuries, ago, and he told Bruce and myself. Bruce chose your mother, because of the stories Amy told about your mother, and how she ends up becoming what Bruce is afraid of becoming himself.
Ichika: We're here to save them, all; especially our parents.
Relius: I love your mother, as a friend, former member of the Ten Sages, and a fellow Student of Magic. I will atone for my sins, by doing for your family what I failed to do for mines.
Neko: Which is?
Relius: Love, honor, protect, and see that you four stay together. Your mother is heading to Sea Coral City, as we speak. You should go see her, and your father. Get to know them, before the Malfestation corrupts them.
Ichika and Neko turns to leave, but not before giving a bitter smile to Relius. Alfred walks Bucky into the Cafeteria, of the Mercury Incorporated building, and Bruce, Kokonoe, and Lili are waiting for Bucky. Bucky has a seat, and Alfred receives a nod from Bruce, and Alfred leaves. Lili hugs Bucky, and Kokonoe has a faked smile, on her face.
Bucky: So, you wanted to see me, Bruce?
Bruce: What do you think of predestined story, which is already scripted for your life, James? If you knew that your life already had a certain beginning, and an end, how would you feel?
Bucky takes some time to think about the question, and Honoka connects all members of the M Organization's minds, together, as everyone can see what is going on with Bruce Wayne.
Bucky: Are you asking me how I feel, if someone was pulling my strings, like a puppet? I'd be severely angry, because Hydra tried to control me, and they failed, miserably!
Kokonoe brings the table a platter of fried fish, side dishes, and wine, and Lili pours Bucky a glass. Bruce passes Bucky an old diary, and Bucky flips through it. The diary has hand drawn images of an older M Organization, and it's members. Bucky comes across the images of two twin girls; the same twin girls he saw on his way to see Bruce, and the twin girls are standing with what looks like Bucky, himself, and….
Bucky: Who's diary is this!?
Lili: It belongs to one Amy Sorel; but that isn't her real name. She is actually Amy Viola Bogard. Daughter of Terry Bogard and Isabella "Ivy Valentine" De Leon. Amy comes from the future; about a thousand years into the future, and she came with her teammates.
Kokonoe: Two of those teammates are my half-sisters, and twins.
Bucky thinks back to the two twin girls, and how they stated at him. Bucky can make out the old, hand drawn image of himself, and the woman he's with is none other than….
Nine: Bruce, Kokonoe, STOP!
Nine lands near the table, and everyone looks at her, and how much shock she's in. Jubei and Shiryuu Chouun are struck with a slight pain in their chest, as everyone sees how Nine and Bucky are looking at each other. Bucky sees Nine's image in the diary, and Bucky closes the diary, and Bruce tucks it into his suit jacket pocket. Bucky stands up, and he stares at Nine. Nine is breathing hard, as Kokonoe laughs. Kokonoe sips some wine, while Nine stares at her daughter.
Nine: James Buchanan Barnes, I don't know what is going on, but I truly, highly doubtful that you're my future Baby Daddy! It, it just doesn't feel right!
Bucky: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I don't see myself having children, anyway; let alone with a Wicked Witch!
Polydeuces, Terry, Amy, Isabella, and the others show up to Sea Coral City, as Nine now has a very annoyed look on her face. Honoka shows up, and she shakes her head.
Nine: Wait, what!? Are you kidding me, Soldier Boy!? Did you just refer to me as "Wicked Witch"!?
Bucky: Yeah, aren't you some dark magician girl, or something, from some weird Magic The Gathering world? Not my kind of thing. Plus, I was suppose to take Agent Chouun to the movies, and it would be rude to blow her off, to have children with someone I barely even know.
Nine: First off, Shiryuu Chouun is shit, compared to me, and second off, who said I really want children with some second-rate Captain America, with a literal "Kung Fu Grip", or is that your masturbation hand!?
Bucky: Why the insults? Bruce called me here to show me this "ancient diary", from the past, but written by a girl from the future….I ain't buying it!
Amy: Mr. James, it's true! Ichika Nakano and Miyabi Ameno Neko are your daughters! Something happens in the future to bring you and Konoe together, and your daughters play a major role in our future battles.
Amy takes her diary from Bruce, and Amy places the diary in her travel bag. Nine steps up to Bucky, and the two 6 foot, 5 inch heroes are face to face with each other.
Nine: I don't like your tone, James. I came here to stop my daughter, and Bruce, from telling you anything, because I don't buy it, myself! I don't appreciate your tone, and attitude, you third-rate Captain America.
Bucky: I thought I was second-rate, Madam Parlor Tricks?
Nine: I forgot that Jon Walker was a better Captain America, than you, too. Matter of fact, Falcon did a better job than you, too, Jarhead.
Bucky: Keep insulting the military, you reject Sabrina, the Menopausal Witch.
Nine is shocked, and Bucky actually can't believe he's even arguing with Nine. Kokonoe laughs, while Lili sips some wine. Ryofu and Makoto shows up, and in the background, Ichika and Neko shows up with Relius.
Ryofu: What the Hell is going on, here!? We came here to prepare for Perpetua, so why is the entire M Organization here!?
Polydeuces: I've taken the liberty to finish the formula, myself. While Nine and Bucky had everyone's attention, I quickly finished the potion to create the Silver Lantern Corps.
Isabella: How!? You were here, the whole time!
Polydeuces: Actually, no I wasn't. I used a Speedster Spell, and I slipped out of here, while Nine and Bucky started verbally abusing each other. Besides, I created the Soul Swords, anyway, so I was able to easily melt them down.
Everyone is shocked, and they only believe Polydeuces, when he produces a container of glowing rainbow liquid, and everyone is focused on him.
Polydeuces: I'm going to need the Silver Lantern Corps candidates to drink this, so Momo can then proceed to create the new weapons, and the Lantern Rings.
Bucky: Look, Konoe, I'm sorry. I don't know why we're arguing, but I take back all I said.
Nine smiles at Bucky, and she tilts her head. Nine quickly goes in for a slap to Bucky's face, but an older version of Asuka Izuna grabs Nine's hand. A younger version of Asuka shows up, with her Kunoichi Sisters, Rin Suzune, Daidoji, Hanzo Izuna, Hanzo Hattori, Galford Weller, and Kiriya.
Noelle: What in the world is going on, here!?
Polydeuces: I see Asuka wasted no time, coming back to the past, huh? This is fate.
The older Asuka is with her 18 year old daughter, Komaru Naegi Izuna, and the younger Asuka is breastfeeding an infant Komaru. Gordeau is shocked, and he believes this to be his child.
Gordeau: Asuka….is that….?
Asuka I: Carson, you didn't sleep with me, at all. I've been gone for over a year. That version you've seen of me was no more than a Kuroko Clan Ninja. This daughter of mine belongs to Kagura.
Kagura and Naraku shows up, right on que, and nobody knows what to think. Gordeau is still in shock, and Jasmine takes that time to slip away.
Older Asuka: We all need to talk! Now!
Gabriel: I demand to know what is going on, here! Someone is going to tell me!
Older Asuka: I'll give you the "too long, didn't read" version, then. A thousand years down the the line the M Organization is murdered by possessed versions of a team, led by James Buchanan Barnes. I was on that team. The M Organization has a traitor, and this traitor has been responsible for several evil deeds, and the fact that we all share one Earth, now. That traitor turns us against the M Organization, and we have to stop them.
Polydeuces: In order to do that we have to get the Three Grimoires to my wife, on Tarakia. We'll be leaving, shortly.
Captain America: You can't just leave! There is still so much we don't understand!
Superman: Who's the traitor!?
The older Asuka walks up to Superman and Captain America, and she has a defeated look on her face. She begins to shed tears, and she shakes her head.
Older Asuka: We only have a week, Clark. Let us go get Taarna, and we'll be sure to explain everything once we get back.
Yomi: Bucky, Nine….come with us. Relius, Ichika, Neko….you too.
Polydeuces leads a small team, Isabella's team, to a nearby Airship. Once Polydeuces makes sure all candidates are aboard, Polydeuces uses his magic to keep outsiders from listening in.
Gordeau: How is Hanzo alive, and how is that not my child, Asuka!?
Asuka I: I told you: You were with a Kuroko Clan Ninja, who has the ability to change into anyone they see. Look, we were all training for the last year, without you all even knowing we were gone. Amy arrived here in this timeline, with my older self and a few others, a long time ago. We've been played, since the days when Heidern called us the Final Weapon.
Everyone has a seat in the Auditorium of Polydeuces' Airship, and Gordeau stares at Asuka, Older Asuka, and the two versions of Komaru.
Isabella: I knew it….I knew something wasn't right, the moment we all got here, with false memories. I saw all of this!
Yumi: We were tricked by one of our own, and this whole thing is one giant game. Perpetua is one a quarter piece of a much bigger plot.
Terry: Who's responsible!?
Miyabi: A man "who laughs".
Ruby R: Who!?
Homura: Put it like this: We don't get brainwashed, and turn on the M Organization. We kill the M Organization willingly.
Jiren: What!? What madness is this!?
Hanzo H: Once upon a time, there once was a version of Bruce Wayne, who lost his parents to violence. This Bruce becomes the Batman, like all versions of Bruce, but this Bruce is eventually defeated by the Joker.
Ryofu: What does that have to do with anything going on, now?
Hanzo H: Bruce is forced to kill the Joker, who releases a toxin, upon death. The toxin Jokerizes Bruce, and he ends up becoming a combination of Batman and the Joker. This Bruce is dubbed the "Batman Who Laughs".
Makoto: The Batman Who Laughs….is he behind all of this?
Hanzo H: Our version of Bruce once sat upon the Mobius Chair; a vehicle of supreme knowledge, and Cosmic Awareness. Our Bruce, before the merging of worlds, tried to stop the Batman Who Laughs, before the Batman Who Laughs could become a threat. Our Bruce faces his sinister counterpart, and ends up losing to a more deranged and sadistic version of himself.
Tezza: But what does that have to do with Polydeuces, Taarna, and all of us?
Rin: TBWL stole the Mobius Chair from his universe's Metron, and used it to see why another Batman would seek to kill him. TBWL then uses this knowledge to first go into the future, steals the Covenant Heart, and goes back into the past.
Honoka: What did he do with the Covenant Heart?
Older Asuka: He goes back to the beginning of time, and mixes a special and mixes Joker Formula, Grimm's blood, and Yoma blood into a black hole. That black hole is the same black hole which was used to bring the new Omniverse into existence.
Shirase: I don't follow you.
Hanzo I: The Batman Who Laughs has a motto: "The Batman always wins". Since the begining, we have been living in a universe infected with a unique virus, which will turn every Mutant, Metahuman, and Super Being into a twisted Grimm/Yoma/Jokerized hybrid. Right now, the Batman Who Laughs has the Covenant Heart, from the future, while we have the present one. TBWL came back to the past, and he brought a friend with him.
Momo: Who, who did he bring?
Lucy Heartfilia Barnes: He brought another alternative Batman, known as the Grimm Knight, with him.
Lucy Heartfilia Barnes walks into the Auditorium, and she is carrying a file, some flash drives, and she has a version of Captain America's shield. Lucy stands next to Ichika and Neko, and Komaru smiles.
Bucky: Who are you!?
Lucy HB: I'm your youngest daughter, and the daughter of your second wife, Yomi Barnes.
Nine/Yomi/Bucky: SECOND WIFE!?
Everyone looks at Bucky, Nine, and Yomi, and only the older Asuka isn't in shock. Lucy tosses Bucky a file, and in it is a bunch of pictures, letters, and certificates. Nine, Bucky, and Yomi are looking over the photos, taken a thousand years into the future, and they are all in shock.
Lucy HB: Angela's Nanotechnology is improved upon by Haruka and Brigitte Lindholm; allowing us to live for thousands of years. Certain individuals have an immunity to TBWL's formula, but the rest of the heroes, if they remain empowered, are doomed to become cannibalistic, vicious monsters. The only way to stop the universe from being devoured is take away the powers of our allies, permanently!
Geralt: Do you realize what you're saying? You want to take away the abilities of every other being, in the universe?
Lucy HB: To save the universe? Yes!
Bucky looks over some files, and he places them down on the floor. Bucky leaves his seat to go stand in front of Ichika, Neko, and Lucy, and all three girls gaze upon their father, with tears in their eyes. Nine joins Bucky, and so does Yomi. Bucky is lost for words, and Nine just looks at the floor.
Yomi: Jubei, Kokonoe, and the others are infected, aren't they?
Nine: Is this why I end up with Barnes?
The older Asuka nods, and she looks out the window. Gordeau still can't believe what he's seeing, or hearing, and he has a hard time processing the fact that Asuka was never with him.
Hanzo H: TBWL originally planned to eliminate us, using infected heroes, a thousand years from now. But, he decided to step up his plans, by killing our Bruce, and replacing him with the Grimm Knight.
Heart: How did you find all of this out? How did we not see the signs!?
Hanzo H: After my Redeemers team returned from that mission, where we first gained the powers of Kalma, I was visited by my future self, and the future Asuka. After passing the test I set up, just in case I would one day meet my future self, I was introduced to a horrible future where most of the universe is dead, and Batman was the cause; all just to bring back Thomas and Martha Wayne.
Older Asuka: I managed to escape with Hanzo, Ichika, Neko, Lucy, and Komaru, but everyone else….they're….
Imu places a hand on Asuka's shoulder, and Asuka just looks downward, shedding tears. The elder Asuka has a seat, and she watches as the younger Asuka feeds her daughter.
Kiriya: Yes, this all sounds far-fetched, yes, this all sounds insane, but we can't just do nothing, at all. From what we know, the plan has already begun.
Terry: How so?
Older Asuka: Sadly, your "four nieces" have been moles, this entire time. The people of Earth, left inside the Rock of Eternity….they're all dead….
Isabella: This can't be!
Jiren: I refuse to believe this!
Polydeuces holds up his right hand, and creates a viewing portal. The images of Monika, Yuri, Sayori, and Natsuki now resembling a mix of a Grimm and a Yoma, combined, have entered the Rock of Eternity. Horror spreads across the faces of the group gathered with Polydeuces, as Monika, Yuri, Sayori, and Natsuki begin feasting on some of the humans. Terry tries to leave, and Murasaki stands in front of him.
Terry: We have to stop them! What are you doing!?
Murasaki: It's too late for the human race….and the M Organization. We need your mother's powers, and we need to send Perpetua, the Grimm Knight, and TBWL into the Source Wall, with all who follow them. This is the only way.
Honoka: G isn't answering me!
Isabella: What!?
Honoka: We're on our own! Heart, Athena, and myself are the only ones who can directly call G, and he isn't answering me!
Weiss: We're definitely on our own, then! Who else do we need for this journey!?
Polydeuces: Brigitte Lindholm, Salem, and Negan. Salem and Negan are battling across town, right now.
Amy: We need to go get them, and fast.
Bucky, Nine, and Yomi are finished looking at the files. Yomi looks confused, but she watches Lucy, closely. Bucky looks at Nine, and Nine has a bittersweet look on her face.
Polydeuces: Terry, Isabella, Bucky, Nine, Yomi: I need you guys to take the lead, and join with Salem and Negan. There is no going back, with this. This universe, the Omniverse, hasn't been right, since TBWL gained Cosmic Awareness. Venger, Taarna, and myself realized this, years ago, and fought to stop it. We were defeated, and Venger was killed. Taarna turned herself into stone, and I sent myself into the future, your past, to hide.
Amy: I tried to go back into the past to bring Grandfather, Grandmother, and Venger together in order to stop TBWL, early on, but things didn't go as planned. I ended up losing my memory, and only regaining it, recently.
Older Asuka: Originally, it took TBWL a few thousand years to gather enough power to wipe out the entire Omniverse, but since he knows that we have a head start on what he's up to, he's moved his plans up, by a thousand years.
Bucky: We'll be fighting our own….
Yumi: That's why we've been training for an entire year. We are more than ready to do just that.
Ichika: We can still win, in the end, but a sacrifice has to be made. TBWL has already done his damage, and most of the Omniverse is infected with the Grimm Yoma Virus. Grimm Knight knows that most versions of Bruce Wayne end up losing their parents, yet he is the only one who can't deal with it.
Neko: He feels that by erasing the entire Omniverse he can create a new one, where there is only peace; a peace brought about by his hands.
Yomi: What's TBWL's take away from all of this?
Older Asuka: He gets to burn down the entire Omniverse, and laugh at us all.
Homura: There are still details we don't know, correct?
Polydeuces: Yes, and that was because I needed all of you here, to learn them, together. For now I need you to collect Negan and Salem, because Grimm Knight is on the move.
Polydeuces uses his magic to control the Airship, as the heroes heads to pick up Salem and Negan. Near Woolering Heights, Negan and Salem are locked in combat. Negan has a White Lantern Corps ring, and Salem is using her magic. Negan has powered up Lucille, with his White Lantern ring, and Negan is trying to bash Salem's head in. Salem is keeping Negan at bay, with a few magical blast, and creating Grimm arms out of thin air, to subdue Negan. While Polydeuces and the heroes are heading to pick up Negan and Salem, Hanzo plays a recording that Sombra made.
The recording shows Sombra investigating Cold Piss Alley, in Striver's Row, Harlem. Sombra enters the alleyway, behind an abandoned apartment complex, and Sombra begins to take notes.
Sombra: To be honest, I'm still not buying this, but after Bruce allowed me access to all his databases and files, I wanted to see, for myself, the many wonders of the Batman. Yes, Bruce has files on us all, even heroes I've never met. Bruce even has ways to kill us all, but who doesn't already know that about the Batman?
The heroes pay close attention, yet Gordeau is fixated on Asuka, and the infant Komaru. Homura and Kagura are not liking this, and Yuzuriha noticed this, too. Asuka is holding her sleeping child, as she watches the video journey created by Sombra.
Sombra: Hanzo Hattori is right. The flow of the universe feels like that of a madman's victory song. The constant changing, the vanishing of heroes and villains, the strange powers and atmosphere. Someone is up to something, BIG!
Sombra breaks down a door, leading into the basement of the abandoned apartment complex, and Sombra sees a large, dirty, trash filled old laundry room. Sombra navigates through the smell, the trash, and the darkness to find a spot on the floor, where the earth has been disturbed.
Sombra: I found something. I wonder what it is? Well, might as well start digging.
Sombra has a shovel with her, and she begins to dig into the ground. Sombra takes about an hour to shovel, while the camera rolls, and Sombra finally comes across something horrible.
Sombra: What's this!? This can't be!
Sombra holds up the utility belts of Batman, Robin, and Batgirl, as Sombra finds some body parts. The camera captures a door behind Sombra opening up, and a long haired shadowed figure creeping up behind Sombra as the camera shuts off.
Nine: What happened!?
Rin: Sombra was compromised; she's been a mole since last year. We need to get Salem and Negan, now, before its too late!
Yang: Look below us!
Negan and Salem are about to clash, as Salem grips a black sword, and Negan holds on tightly to Lucille. Right before Negan and Salem can collide, Brigitte Lindholm lands in between them, and she smashes her Mace into the ground. The earth shakes, as Negan and Salem stops their fighting. Terry uses his lightning to bring Brigitte, Negan, and Salem aboard the Airship, and everyone is staring at Negan and Salem, and waiting for them to make the next move.
Cervantes: Stand down, Negan! Who's side are you on!?
Negan: We weren't fighting; we were training.
Salem: It's true. When we woke up, here, Negan was in possession of a White Lantern Corps ring, and I woke up near him. Ozpin and Lucille kept us from fighting each other, long enough to hear Polydeuces, out.
Polydeuces: We leave, now!
Polydeuces turns on the monitor, and it shows a Grimm/Yoma/Jokerized version of Captain Marvel and Thor attacking the Airship. Thor blasts the Airship with a lightning strike, and the attack nearly knocks everyone off if their feet.
Polydeuces: Cervantes, can you pilot the ship!?
Cervantes: I can try!
Polydeuces: Get us into space, NOW! They are on to us!
Captain Marvel and Thor anchor the Airship, down, and the heroes aren't going anywhere. Terry and Gordeau plan to head into battle with Thor and Captain Marvel, but Imu and Yumi stops them.
Terry: I'll handle Carol; get out of the way!
Yumi: No, she'll try to play on your emotions! I'll take Carol!
Jiren: She's on the same level as Superman, myself, and others; you're only a Kunoichi, a human Kunoichi!
Yumi and Imu smiles at Jiren. Kiriya tries to hide his smirk, and Hanzo Hattori crosses his arms over his chest.
Yumi: We trained at the Guardian Dogs Temple, for a year; you're about to see why I get Top Billing, and the fruits of what we learned.
Polydeuces: Before you go, here….
Polydeuces throws Yumi, Imu, and the rest of the Senran Kagura Kunoichis new transformation scrolls.
Yumi: These are….
Polydeuces: Just wait until you try them out! You've all got team, color coordinated Cheongsams, now. Go, hurry!
Yumi/Imu: Shinobi Transformation!
With a flash of light, Yumi and Imu are stripped naked, and they are both wearing Cheongsams, now. Yumi has on white, blue, and gold for Gessen, while Imu has on black, red, and gold for Hebijo.
Polydeuces: These Cheongsams are nearly indestructible, form fitting, and made to allow you to go into Frantic Mode, without going naked. Their other abilities will be explained, once we get into space. But first….get those ruffians off my ship!
Polydeuces tosses Yumi the Covenant Heart, and Yumi places it around her neck. Imu heads out the Cargo Bay, while Yumi heads out the top deck. Yumi sees Carol Danvers, and Yumi is not afraid. Carol lands on the top deck, and the monstrous form of Carol resembles a Yoma crossed with a Grimm. Yumi is a bit disturbed by this, and Yumi is reminded of her sister, Fubuki.
Carol: Where's Terry!?
Yumi: It's rude not to address your opponent, Danvers.
Carol: I don't have time for some child, playing Ninja. Bring me Terry, and Isabella, or die along with them!
Yumi: I choose death, if you can bring an end to me.
Carol has had enough talk, and Carol opens fire upon Yumi. A large explosion rocks the ship's deck, and smoke clouds the area.
Carol: Direct hit! Who wants to die, next!?
The smoke clears, and Yumi is now in her Ice Queen form, and Yumi still hasn't changed her expression.
Yumi: Come, Carol Danvers. I'll show your Brie Larson looking ass the error of your ways.
Carol: Overrated High School Bitch!
Carol charges at Yumi, and Carol takes Yumi off the ship, and into a building, with one punch. Yumi isn't hurt, but her boobs bounce, as she sits up from crashing through a wall. Carol comes at Yumi, ready to punch her, again, but Yumi smacks Carol with her fan, and Carol is sent flying through another wall. Carol blast Yumi with an energy beam, and Yumi blocks it with a shield made of ice. Carol flies at Yumi, and tries to bite her, but Yumi moves out of the way, and kicks Carol in her back; sending Carol through a wall, and out onto the street.
Yumi Chase's Carol, and Yumi and Carol are going back and forth, as they are now locked in combat, and exchanging blow for blow. Carol uses cosmic energy powered fist, while Yumi is using fist made of ice, and her fan. Carol manages to strike Yumi a few times across the face, and Yumi grabs Carol and kicks Carol through the street, and into the sewers.
Negan: Where is that blonde bitch, and our Ice Cream Princess!?
Jiren: They've taken the fight underground! We've lost sight of them!
Ryofu: I haven't! I have X-ray Vision! Oh….oh my! What the Hell!?
Gordeau: What's going on!?
Gordeau and Ryofu are watching the fight, as Carol and Yumi are now in the sewers. Carol is soaking Yumi, face first, into every structure she can, and Yumi is taking it, like a champion. Yumi elbows Carol in the face, and Carol momentarily drops to her knees. Yumi takes some time to catch her breath, while Carol stands up.
Yumi: What is this? Why are you attacking us, your teammates?
Carol: You're no longer one of us! Grimm Knight has shown us a new way of life, where we no longer have to play by the rules of some Higher Power! The Batman Who Laughs is the new higher power, and we are now free! Those who are immune to the Grimm Yoma Virus will be nothing more than food! Once the Omniverse is rebuilt, using the Covenant Heart, Grimm Knight has promised us peace. The only way to build a positive universe, with no negativity, is by destroying an Omniverse filled with darkness. The next Omniverse, to ensure a balance, must be a positive one, after this one burns down with evil!
Yumi: You seriously believe that, or that TBWL can pull that off? Don't you see how we've all been riding a rollercoaster of lies, since day one? Grimm Knight, that corrupted Bruce Wayne, only cares about bringing back his parents, Carol! You're all being used!
Carol: Bruce promised us peace! After he wins, we get to live in peace! I get to have my family, back! My dad will be alive, and he would never cheat on my mother, in this new universe, to come!
Yumi: So, you'd betray billions of people, just to get your parents back? You're nothing but a bunch of overgrown crybabies.
Carol: You can say what you will, but you'll be dead, soon; after we have our way with all of you, and devour your remains! Lethal force has been authorized!
Yumi: Have your way with us? What would you do to Asuka's child? She is but an infant.
Carol: Thus are the casualties of war. Once the new Omniverse is born, Asuka will be able to start again. Who's brat is that, anyway? She doesn't smell like Gordeau, at all!
Yumi: Brat? That little girl is a combination of all of us. Miyabi, Homura, Asuka, Kagura, and myself. My seed helped create that child, and you threaten her life?
Carol: Your seed? You're not a man!
Yumi: No, but we Kunoichi are known to utilize Futanari Scrolls, especially for mating and torture.
Carol: What rubbish are you talking about!?
Yumi: You'll soon see, Carol.
Carol attacks Yumi, while Yumi is being watched by Gordeau and Ryofu. Momo is using her enhanced hearing to listen in, as Carol attacks Yumi with everything she has. Yumi grabs Carol's fist, and Yumi freezes them, solid. Carol tries to headbutt Yumi, but Yumi doesn't feel a thing. Yumi sweeps Carol off of her feet, and Yumi slams Carol onto the ground. Yumi freezes Carol's hands to the ground, and Yumi freezes Carol's legs to the ground, too.
Carol: What is this!? What are you doing!?
Yumi: You, who are so gone that you'd threaten a child, allow me to show you what I've learned training under Hanzo Hattori. Only way for a Kunoichi to win is by using any means necessary; including irredeemable acts. To save you all, I will do what I must!
Yumi removes her Cheongsam, and she slips out of the shoes, while still wearing the Covenant Heart.
Yumi: I don't wear panties, ever; it makes it easier to move, to jiggle, and to utilize Futanari Magic.
Yumi casts a spell, and Yumi grows a large cock between her legs, above her vaginal opening. Yumi rips off Carol's Captain Marvel outfit; leaving Carol only wearing her boots.
Carol: This is what you learned from Hanzo Hattori; how to be a rapist!?
Yumi: No, I learned to not hold back, and do what is needed. While I trained with Hanzo and Galford, I was all alone. There was no Hanzo Academy vs. Gessen vs. Hebijo vs. the Crimson Squad, it was every woman for herself. Even the sweeter Kunoichis, like Hibari and Minori, have embraced a darker side. This is justice.
Gordeau and Ryofu stares at Hanzo Hattori, Galford, Hanzo Izuna, Rin, Kiriya, and Daidoji, and Gordeau tries to leave to stop Yumi, but the older Asuka steps in his way.
Gordeau: Move!
Older Asuka: No. If you only knew how far Grimm Knight and TBWL are willing to go to end us all, you'd look at this as a slap on the wrist.
Bucky: What's going on, down there!?
Terry: Blasphemy!
Terry moves passed Asuka and Gordeau, and Terry heads to stop Yumi. Kagura flies in front of Terry, and Kagura looks ready to fight.
Kagura: No. Either way, Carol needs her powers removed, so let Yumi do what she wants.
Terry: This is evil! Pure evil!
Kagura: Komaru Naegi Izuna is the end result of Asuka failing a training mission, and being captured by Miyabi, Yumi, Homura, and myself. We ravished her, beat her, and abused her, until she got away. All the Kunoichis have suffered similar punishments, for failing missions, and we all did horrible things to each other, but in the end it made our bond that much stronger.
Terry: Move, Kagura! I don't want to fight you!
Kagura: Then don't.
Terry tries to sneak passed Kagura, but Kagura ends up grabbing Terry, and crashing into the street, with him. Meanwhile, Yumi climbs between Carol's legs, and Yumi is ready to enter Carol's vagina.
Carol: You do this, and you're no better than the villains we've fought!
Yumi: Carol, you are now one of those villains. You threatened my daughter, and that is unforgivable. You'd forget this, once I steal your powers, anyway.
Yumi forces her Futa Cock in Carol's vagina, and Carol can't believe that Yumi would actually go that far. Yumi settles into Carol's vagina, and she stops to enjoy the tightness.
Yumi: This is….the warmth of a Kree.
Carol tries to protest, but Yumi freezes her mouth shut, while Yumi fucks Carol, like an average slut. Kagura restrains Terry, and Kagura comes down to where Yumi is fucking Carol, and Kagura forces Terry to watch.
Kagura: You shouldn't care about her, anyway! You have Isabella, now; now, and forevermore.
Carol is shocked to see Terry, as Kagura has a wicked smile on her face. Carol tries to plead with Terry, but Kagura holds Terry, tight. Part of Terry doesn't fight Kagura, hard enough, as Terry watches Yumi fucking Carol. Yumi looks into Terry's eyes, with her piercing stare, as Yumi takes deep strokes into, and out of, Carol. Yumi grabs hold of the Covenant Heart, as Yumi cums inside of Carol, and Yumi steals all of Captain Marvel's powers and abilities. Yumi pulls out Carol's vagina, as Carol passes out.
Carol is reverted back to her human form, and Carol is freed from Yumi's ice, as Yumi puts her Cheongsam back on. Yumi's Futa Cock vanishes, as Yumi absorbs Captain Marvel's powers into herself, and Yumi feels herself becoming much more powerful, than before.
Yumi: She's no good to TBWL, now. Carol Danvers will never be Captain Marvel, again. Terry, look at me, look at me. I'm the Captain, now.
Kagura let's go of Terry, and Terry just stares at Carol. Terry looks at Yumi, and he shakes his head. Yumi places the Covenant Heart around her neck, again, as Yumi leaves the sewers. Kagura leaves with Yumi, while Terry checks on Carol, one last time, before leaving the sewers. Yumi returns to her Kunoichi Sisters, and Yumi gives Asuka a kiss on the forehead, as infant Komaru stirs, a bit. Yumi smiles at the infant Komaru, while Kagura pats the teen Komaru on her head, and Terry returns, and just stares at Yumi.
Solange: What changed you all? You were never this cold.
Homura: You're about to witness it, first hand. We still don't know the full details behind the traitors. Only Grimm Knight has been confirmed, thus far. No one knows where TBWL is, either.
Gordeau: I can't accept this, no more than I can accept Asuka, and I, not being together!
Older Asuka: It was a Kuroko Clan Ninja, Carson. Kagura is technically the "father" of Komaru, but with the essence of Homura, Miyabi, and Yumi mixed in.
Ashe: I want off this ship, and out this party! This isn't the M Organization I signed up for! What is this!?
Suddenly, Imu is thrown into the Airship, which causes the Airship to shake, a bit. Imu launches herself back into the fray, as she battles Thor. Imu is being struck with Mjolnir, multiple times, but Imu refuses to give in.
Blake: Didn't you guys see what Carol and Thor turned into!? What choice do we have!?
Ashe: Yumi raping Carol doesn't get excused because Carol was a monster! What happens to her, now!?
Hanzo H: They may devour her, like the rest of the humans. We'll be able to resurrect them, after we defeat Grimm Knight.
Brigitte: You all seem to forget that my mother and father are down there, too, and unless we stop Batman, the Omniverse is doomed! Everyone we love is doomed!
Ryofu: No….not like this! We can't be forced to fight our friends! There has to be another way!
The heroes begin to argue, while the older Asuka looks on. The older Asuka begins to chant trigger words, to herself, as she watches her friends, from the past.
Older Asuka: G, Obedience, Determination, Silence, Shield, Hotel, India, Echo, Lima, Delta. Soul Embrace.
After Asuka is finished chanting, the heroes all stop arguing, and they look towards the older Asuka. Polydeuces summons a cauldron, and he begins to mix samples of the heroes' DNA; all who are present on the Airship, and Imu's, too. Polydeuces re-creates the formula he just made, not too long ago, and Polydeuces gives it to this heroes.
Older Asuka: Polydeuces, in my time, prepared me for what would happen, right before he was killed by Grimm Knight. Hanzo, from my time, went back to hold off the Grimm Knight, as long as he could. He's dead, now. Komaru, Ichika, Neko, Lucy, Amy, and myself are all that remains of a dead universe. We have to succeed. I just spoke a series of Trigger Words, which allowed you all to see what your future selves saw; another tactic planned by Polydeuces, Venger, and Taarna. Do you all now understand? I didn't want to use those words, because I figured you would all believe me, but there is no time to argue, further.
Imu is blasted into the Airship, by Thor, and Imu is struggling against Thor's lightning. Imu drops her staff, and Imu is up against the might of the God of Thunder. Nine teleports to Imu, and tosses Imu the Covenant Heart, and Imu catches it, just as Thor tries to smash Mjolnir into Imu's face. Lightning and thunder strikes the skies, as Imu is hit by a lightning bolt. Once the smoke clears, Imu caught Mjolnir in her right palm, as Thor attempts to crush Imu's skull.
Imu smiles at Thor, and she begins to whisper close to Mjolnir, as Nine smiles. Imu manages to kick Thor away from her, as Imu whispers a spell into Mjolnir.
Imu: Who so ever holds this hammer, be she worthy, shell possess the power of Imu!
Thor races towards Imu, to steal his hammer back, but Imu holds Mjolnir up high, as Mjolnir is struck by lightning. Thor loses all his powers, and he reverts into a mortal form. Imu throws Mjolnir into Thor, and Thor is instantly knocked out. Mjolnir lands on the ground, and Imu holds out her hand, as the hammer returns to her, instantly.
Nine: That was almost sensual.
Imu: It is, really. Mjolnir feels so alive, in my hands, now. I hate to do this, but the powers of Asgard belong to Hebijo, now!
Miyabi: No, they belong to you, Imu. You, alone, shell wield these powers.
Imu: Nice. I can get use to this.
Imu retrieves her staff, as she heads back inside the Airship. Before Nine, Imu, and Miyabi can make their way inside the trio spots Batman, sporting a white and black outfit, standing with Qrow, Raven, Jasmine, Fubuki, Perpetua, Azwel, Elyssa Libitina, Acerola, and Darcia. Batman hands an infected Ragna a Hunger Lantern Corps ring, and the Grimm Yoma Virus infected Ragna roars towards the skies. Terry sees other infected heroes, in the distance, and Terry sees an infected Mai Shiranui, Andy, Saki, Monika, Yuri, Natsuki, and Sayori.
Negan: Not this, again! I came from a world, where an infection killed off everything and everybody! No, not this, again!
Ruby R: Uncle Qrow!? How could this be!?
Yang: Mother….
Yagyu: We'll save them, but after the battle is over, they will no longer be able to fight.
Jiren: Why?
Mirai: Whatever TBWL did to them, genetically, factors into their Metahuman/Mutant/Supernatural abilities. If they have no such abilities, then the Yoma Grimm Virus has no affect on them. We're the only ones who were born immune to the Yoma Grimm Virus.
Gordeau: In short, once we save Kal-El, and the others, they'll be mortal, from then on out, right?
Polydeuces: Yes, among other changes, which has to be made. Permanent changes. The Legacy Program was created for a reason, because the world still needs heroes; just not the ones it once knew.
Komaru: Mind you, TBWL decided to kick a thousand plus year plan into action, sooner than later. We have very little time to get ready, and some changes will definitely be made to our future timeline, now that TBWL, and the Grimm Knight, decided to come after us, now. This was suppose to be a war with Perpetua, and her forces, but now we're dealing with triple the threats.
Yozakura: They're not going to let this slide. Batman will send his forces after us, as soon as he can.
Mai N: Where to, first?
Older Asuka: The Mushroom Kingdom.
Naraku: Why? What's there?
Older Asuka: Bowsette Jr. We need to save her; we can't just leave her, all alone.
Asuka I: As a mother, I totally agree. Bowsette, Lady Ganon, and the others got dragged into this. We should do what we can to save them.
Hikage: I guess there's no hope for Jasmine, huh?
Hanzo Izuna smokes his pipe, and he looks out the window. Yang looks at a picture of her father, and Ruby glanced over at it, and sighs.
Gordeau: Is there anything else we need to know? Anything that you've left out?
Older Asuka: Yes, of course. I can't reveal everything that happens, or even the good things won't happen. Just know that the M Organization is drastically about to change, but it can still be a universal defense force, with what we have here.
Ruby R: Are you sure we can save them, even though they'll lose everything that makes them who they are?
Ichika: Their powers don't make them who they are, what's on the inside makes them who they are. We were chosen; you guys were chosen to be the last. You are the Final Weapon, and the story isn't over.
Lucy: My mother takes up the mantle of Captain America, long before TBWL puts his plans into motion, because Mr. Steve wanted to retire. Three more shields are crafted, by Haruka and Brigitte, and Ichika, Neko, and myself receives them, while Mai gives the original Vibranium Shield to my mother.
Bucky looks out the window, as he goes through what memories he has of his future self, and Bucky confirms what Lucy has said.
Bucky: I notice that certain memories are blocked, or hazy.
Older Asuka: Because if you know everything, it will lead to alternative decisions, and that could spell room for us all. Look, either we fight our former comrades, take away their powers, defeat Grimm Knight, TBWL, and Perpetua, or we all die, and TBWL will reshape the Omniverse into something twisted. Technically, our worlds should have never collided, but after Bruce gained Cosmic Awareness he took it upon himself to change things. TBWL and the Grimm Knight got ahold of the Mobius Chair, after defeating Bruce, and now the entire Omniverse is fucked.
Isabella: Why didn't G just stop TBWL, at the beginning of time?
Honoka: Because He wanted to test His children, and see who much they would sacrifice for Him, and all He's created. We're all going to lose something, here. After this is over, no more Mugen Tenshin, no more Kusanagi Clan, no more Yagami Clan, no more Justice League, no more Avengers, and no more original heroes. Gordeau is Superman, now. Imu is the Goddess of Thunder, now. Yumi is Captain Marvel, now, and Terry is Shazam.
Solange: What about my cousin, He-Man? What about She-Ra?
Kiriya: Marika, Shermie, and the Sorceress are held up in the Avalon Realm's Castle Grayskull. Angela Ziegler is with them, and so is Iroha. They are working to find a way to reverse what TBWL has done, but so far….nothing. Solange, you're all that will be left of the Power of Grayskull. I'm sorry….
Solange looks upset, and Mai holds her wife. Ryofu looks at the S symbol on Gordeau's back, and she has a slither of hope.
Ryofu: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
(Hebrews 11:1 - 3 KJV)
Makoto: Worse case scenario?
Older Asuka: Batman wins, and we die. A bit more tolerable than that is our friends dying, and we are left alive, to mourn their loss. Best case scenario: We win, our friends are alive, but they'll be forever deprived of their powers, unless we can remove the Yoma Grimm Virus from their DNA.
Rin: Angela is working on it, but she hasn't had any luck.
Blake: I rather live in a world where my parents are alive, instead of a world where they are dead, and gone.
Ikaruga: So you're cool being the new Wolverine? It will be you, and only you.
Blake: Sure. If I must.
Blake pops her class, and she looks at them. Blake remembers receiving the Adamantium on her bones, and the claws were an extra bonus. Blake was given the treatment by Angela and Litchi, and Blake doesn't regret it.
Ryobi: Remember, we're all going to be leaving something behind. Sonico will be losing her powers, and she may even not want to sing, anymore, after all of this. We're going to have to deal with a lot of depressed friends, and if you can't deal with that, raise your hand.
Ashe and raises their hands, and they stand up. Yumi just looks at them, and she crosses her arms.
Ashe: Send me to Grayskull. I'll help Marika, and the others, until you guys get back.
Hana: Yeah, me too. I, I can't wrap my mind around all of this. I just can't.
Polydeuces: So be it. I wish you'd change your mind.
Ashe: No. I pray you guys win, or I'll never see McCree, again.
Hana: Give em Hell. Bye.
Polydeuces opens a portal, and he allows Ashe and Hana to leave the Airship. No one says anything, because everyone is concerned with what is to come, next.
Polydeuces: If TBWL would have never tampered with the Omniverse, you all might have gone on living as you were; never knowing about the Omniverse, or other heroes. Now, you've all grown into a family, and people have fallen in love. It would be a crime to reverse the Omniverse, now, and split the Earth back to what it use to be.
Ryona: No! I wouldn't like that. A world without Ruby, Terry, Nine, Gordeau, or even Geralt, would be a lonely world. I have my twin sister, and I have my friends, but I don't wanna lose the M Organization, now. Renka is already one of the many serving the Grimm Knight. Angela is broken up by it, and Fareeha is gone, too. I don't wanna lose anyone else.
Bucky: You won't!
Everyone turns to look at Bucky. Bucky clinches his Vibranium fist, and he turns to look at Nine, Ichika, Neko, Lucy, and Yomi.
Bucky: We'll save them, all. They may no longer be able to go to war with us, but as long as they are alive that is all that matters, to me!
Katsuragi: Then we know what we must do, right? Let's….
Katsuragi, and everyone, except the Gessen Girls, are frozen in time. Yumi looks around, and Shiki gets up to take a look, outside. Right before time was frozen, Goku was about to blast the Airship with a devastating Kamehameha, in his Ultra Instinct form.
Yozakura: What's going on!? Why is everyone frozen!?
Shiki: Look out the window!
The Gessen Girls take a look, and they see the corrupted Goku about to blast the Airship, and time was frozen right on time to stop him.
Minori: How come we can still move?
Esdeath: Because I'm allowing you to.
The Gessen Girls turn around to see a strange, blue haired woman; standing with Ana Amari.
Murakumo: Captain Amari!? Who is that with you!?
Ana: This is Esdeath Luna….Yumi's daughter.
The Gessen Girls all gasped.
Yumi: My….daughter!?
Shiki: Yumi's daughter!? Like, from the future!?
Ana: Yes….and we're here on G's behalf. G has given us one last chance to get all of this right, before he scraps this entire doomed Omniverse.
Yumi: Doomed, but we have Polydeuces, and we're….
Ana: Lies! All lies, created by TBWL, and Monika, and Monika's sisters.
Shiki: Explain!
Esdeath: On the Earth, where Monika, Yuri, Sayori, and Natsuki came from, there was a great discovery. They discovered powerful Psychic Abilities, which destroyed that world, entirely. On that world, all of us exist as fictional characters, who exist in the comics which Natsuki reads. That Earth is Prime Earth, and the first Earth. TBWL has the Joker's sick, cosmic awareness, and he used the Miracle Machine to travel to that Earth, where he caused all of our worlds to merge, but he used the negative, dark versions of us all.
Yumi: He pulled one hero, each, from an evil version of their world, and it was set up as if we were brought here to redeem ourselves. I don't even remember the crimes I committed.
Ana: Because everyone is from an evil Earth, except you five. You Gessen Girls come from the same Earth, and you're the purest forms of yourselves. TBWL saw his eventual defeat, and it was at the hands of Yumi, and the rest of you.
Minori: Us!? How, and why!?
Esdeath: The Earth you came from, you were all killed by Hanzo, Hebijo, and the Crimson Squad.
Yozakura: Killed!? Why would they kill us!?
Yumi: Were they under orders from the Shinobi Higher-ups!?
Ana: Yes….your Kurokage was ordered to be killed, because he chose to kill evil Shinobi, without being ordered to. Jasmine and Hanzo Izuna were ordered to kill him.
Yumi, and the Gessen Girls are in shock, and Yumi feels anger building up inside of her. Yumi looks at Asuka, and Yumi only wants revenge.
Yumi: They didn't kill my grandfather, though; he died from an illness.
Ana: No….he was poisoned by Jasmine, after Jasmine killed your parents, because she was told to send Kurokage a message; a message to end his "crusade", or you would have been next.
Ana hands Yumi Kolin's book, and Momo's book, and Ana has a sacred book, herself. Ana gives all three books to Yumi, and the books are all detailing the life of Yumi, the Gessen Girls, and the fact that they are the purest heroines, in any universe.
Esdeath: Mom, it was all about you, from the beginning. It's always been about you, but they were ordered not to tell you.
Yumi, Shiki, and Murakumo looks through the books, and they see the truth.
Murakumo: They sent Katsuragi's parents to kill Kurokage, but they refused, and became renegades! Kiriya was sent to kill them, but he refused, and they forced Kiriya into a teacher role, in order to spare his life.
Shiki: And to keep piling on the guilt, they ordered Kiriya to train Katsuragi, while never telling her the truth! It's all here!
Yumi: Rin Suzune has a few secrets, too. She played a role in the horrible acts, which drove the Crimson Squad girls into Hebijo, in the first place. She even had an affair with Haruka's father. This….this is all too much!
Yumi throws the books on the floor, and Yumi looks at Ana, with tears in her eyes. Yumi sees the truth in Ana's eyes, and Yumi drops to her knees.
Yozakura: How did you learn all of this?
Ana: Before G announced Himself, He came to see me, and right after He left, He pulled me into a vision of the past. G showed me what was, what has to be, and what will be. This Omniverse is too corrupted, and things are way out of order. Yumi, you can save it; you, and your sisters. The Batman Who Laughs is using Monika, her sisters, Saki Yoshida, and the Covenant Heart to corrupt this universe. Grimm Knight thinks he's going to get his parents back….he's not. TBWL just wants an Omniverse of death and darkness.
Esdeath: He's reached out to others, too.
Minori: Others!? Like who!?
Esdeath: Jasmine, Qrow, Kyoko Sano, and those who feel guilty about a life altering past mistake. In order to bring about a positive Omniverse you're going to have to recreate the Covenant Heart.
Yozakura: How do we do that?
Ana: Esdeath brought Pym Particles from the future; a future which will be drastically changed, once you recreate the Covenant Heart. You're going to use the Pym Particles to head into the past; the past, on multiple Earth's, and collect the mystical items needed to recreate the Covenant Heart.
Yumi: You mean like the Infinite Gauntlet, Silver Imperial Crystal, the Dragon Balls, and etc?
Esdeath: Yes! You five are worthy enough to get those items, and you, alone, can use them to create the Covenant Heart, and bring in positive versions of your teammates.
Shiki: That's way to easy; what's the catch?
Ana: Only you five, and myself, will remember each other. The other heroes, unless their universes crossed paths, before, will no longer know each other. The M Organization will be starting from scratch, on a brand new Earth. No Legacy Program, no children, no rivalries, and no friendships; you'll all have to get to know everyone all over, again.
The Gessen Girls all look down, and they don't know what to do. Yumi looks at Asuka, Miyabi, and Homura, as she sheds a tear.
Yumi: How about them? Asuka, Homura, and Miyabi?
Esdeath: If you pull the ones from your old Earth, they will either be guilt stricken, happy to have you back, or hate you. On your old Earth, you find out about Jasmine's lies, and that is why they were ordered to kill you all.
Shiki: We'll save them, too.
Murakumo: Shiki!?
Shiki: Once we've beaten Monika, TBWL, and everyone else, we'll save them, and win our friends back!
Shiki holds out her right hand, and the other Gessen Girls place their right hands on top of Shiki's. The five girls nod to each other, as they agree to save the Omniverse. Ana hands Yumi a mini Chrono Accelerator, and the Pym Particles.
Ana: Use this to travel to the multiple Earths. Once you've obtained the last Cosmic Item, the Chrono Accelerator will vanish; signaling the rewrite of this universe's history. You'll have to use the Covenant Heart to get back home, wherever home will be, once you've rewritten everything.
Yumi: How did you even get ahold of something like this?
Ana: Winston created it, before he was killed. In the future, a battle between you and Asuka, over Jasmine, kicks off the real plot of TBWL. Once you've recreated the Covenant Heart you will be able to create a positive Omniverse; one, where everyone gets a fresh start.
Esdeath: One other thing: Recreating the Omniverse may result in major changes.
Minori: Changes like what?
Esdeath: I may never be born.
Yumi stops to think, for a second. Yumi looks at Esdeath, and the thought of a daughter makes her feel warm, inside. Yumi walks up to Esdeath, and she touches her face.
Yumi: Who is your father?
Esdeath: Someone, who you have an affair with; someone, who helped you take revenge against Jasmine, Hanzo, and the Izuna Family. But, if you bring about a new Earth, things may end up different. We won't have any time, together, but I am glad I could come back and save you, Mother. You're my world.
Esdeath hugs Yumi, and Yumi hugs her back. Esdeath slips something onto Yumi's body, and Yumi doesn't realize what it is. Yumi let's go of Esdeath, and Yumi hugs Ana.
Ana: Just remember: You five, myself, and maybe Esdeath will be the only ones to remember this old universe. G has set this up, since the begining. I knew about this, long ago; even back on my Earth. I had to wait until this moment, this very moment to tell you all. Yumi….go save the universe.
Yumi nods, and she clicks the Chrono Accelerator on. Yumi and her sisters are teleported to the old Earth of the Avengers; before that universe was destroyed, and combined with the other universes. Yumi's mind is filled with the images of powerful artifacts, as she feels the first target, nearby. Galactus is on Earth, and the Earth's heroes are locked in combat with him. Reed Richards is preparing the Ultimate Nullifier, as Thor is swatted to the ground, by Galactus. Thor is knocked out, and Mjolnir lands near an alleyway. Shiki sees Mjolnir, and she is instantly drawn to the hammer.
Yumi: We're here to get the Ultimate Nullifier; an item which wasn't part of the original Covenant Heart.
Murakumo: Where is it!?
Yumi: Reed Richards is about to attack Galactus with it.
Yozakura: Shiki!?
Shiki walks up to the hammer, and Shiki is able to lift Mjolnir off of the ground. Shiki holds Mjolnir, close, as Thor breaths his last.
Thor: You….you are not of this world….or even this timeline….but you are just, worthy, and….righteous. Take Mjolnir….the will of Odin has shown me….it will one day save all that you….hold dear….
Thor dies, as Shiki holds Mjolnir high above her head. Mjolnir is filled with awesome power, and Shiki smiles. Galactus looks down, at Shiki, and Galactus tries to squash her.
Minori: Shiki, look out!
Shiki sees Galactus coming, and Shiki throws Mjolnir into Galactus's forehead; knocking the World Devourer down. Shiki flies towards Galactus, and Shiki calls Mjolnir back to her side, as Shiki smacks Galactus with Mjolnir, over and over, again.
Shiki: You fiend! You murdered Odinson! Like, have at Thee!
Murakumo: Shiki!? She's able to use Mjolnir!? I'm totally going to use this in my comic, later!
Yumi: Look!
Shiki is beating Galactus's face in, with Mjolnir, as Reed Richards shows up. Galactus grabs Shiki, and Shiki drops Mjolnir.
Shiki: Don't touch me!
Reed: Who are you girls!?
Yozakura: Reed, we're the Gessen Girls Kunoichi Sisters! We're here to help you guys!
Reed: It's way too dangerous, girls, get back!
Reed goes to use the Ultimate Nullifier, and suddenly he doesn't have it in his hands. Minori took the Ultimate Nullifier, without Reed noticing, and Minori points it at Galactus.
Minori: Let Shiki go!
Reed: No, young lady, you'll be killed!
Minori activates the Ultimate Nullifier, and Galactus begins to crumble. Galactus drops Shiki, and Shiki calls Mjolnir to her side.
Galactus: No! How can this be!? Defeated by mere teenagers, from Earth!
Shiki: Bitch, please, I've fought Yoma bigger than you! Have at Thee!
Shiki throws Mjolnir through Galactus, and Galactus is destroyed. Minori puts the Ultimate Nullifier into her Hamster Bag, and Yumi activates the Chrono Accelerator.
Yumi: Shiki, let's go! We got what we came for!
Reed: Girls, wait, you can't take that!
Yumi: Mr. Fantastic, we're going to save all of you. I promise!
The Gessen Girls are teleported to a different timeline, within the same universe, and the Gessen Girls are on the moon, as Thanos has the completed Infinite Gauntlet. Thanos is courting Death, and he's about to snap his fingers.
Yumi: Shiki, why did you take Mjolnir?
Shiki: Odinson gave it to me. He placed his blessings upon it, and that is how I was able to lift it. He said I needed it, to save someone in the future.
Murakumo: Once we've saved everyone, chances are that this universe will no longer exist, and the Thor that appears on the new Earth will have his own Mjolnir. Shiki is alright.
Yozakura: Let Shiki have the hammer; she ain't hurting nobody, by carrying Mjolnir.
Minori: Eww, Thanos is talking funny to that creepy, to that skeleton lady!
Yumi: Shhhh! That's actually Lady Death, and we don't want them to hear us, just yet.
Death senses something, and she looks to the side. Death knows that someone is hiding, nearby.
Thanos: My Love, let me show you what beautiful things I can do for you. Allow me to earn your love, and give you all that your heart desires.
Death: Yawn! Give it up, Thanos. I have no desire to lie with a living being; let alone anyone at all! I only care about your life, and one day someone will take yours, from you. I'll be there, to watch you go crying into the Afterlife. All shell die; even those who seek to bring their loved ones back from the brink of death. Am I right, Gessen Girls!?
Yumi and her sisters all gasp, as Death brings them out into the open. Thanos sees the Gessen Girls, and he doesn't recognize them.
Mephisto: You five!? How are you in this universe!?
Yumi: You know us; how!?
Death: Death comes for all, thus I know all living beings, no matter what universe they hail from.
Mephisto: As a being from Hell, I know all souls. You five don't belong here.
Thanos: Who are these insects!?
Minori: Insects!? Let me see that sparkly glove, and I'll show you who the insect is!
Murakumo: Thanos, your defeat is inevitable! Just give up the gauntlet, and we'll spare your life, Mad Titan.
Thanos burst out laughing, as he points at the Gessen Girls.
Thanos: You!? Five mortal girls think that they can stop me; are you kidding!? Whoever you are, you're just in time to be erased from existence! Become a tribute to Lady Death. I am inevitable!
Thanos snaps his fingers, and nothing happens. Thanos looks at the gauntlet, and the Infinity Gems are gone. Thanos looks towards the Gessen Girls, and Yozakura has the gems on one of her gauntlets.
Thanos: How!?
Yozakura: I. Am. Righteous!
Yozakura snaps her fingers, and a flash of light shines through the universe. Yozakura caused everyone to be nice to each other, and for villains to confess their sins, and repent.
Thanos: What did you do!?
Yumi: She showed you mercy. This….is the Will of God!
Yozakura places the Infinity Gems into Minori's Hamster Bag, and Death claps.
Death: The children of Kurokage are most amazing, indeed. Truly, you make him proud, and for that you shell soon see him, once more.
The Gessen Girls all gasp, and they don't know what Death means by that.
Murakumo: Is that a threat? You're not above an ass kicking, Death.
Death: Once your mission is said and done, you shell see what I mean.
Mephisto: Be warned: There she'll come a time, when you shell wish you would have left well enough alone.
Shiki: Like, what the actual fuck do you mean!?
Yumi: No, we have no regrets. We're doing this to save innocent lives; friends, strangers, family, and even heroes we've never met. We're saving the villains, too, so we can reform them, later. Farewell.
Shiki: Like, Bye!
Yozakura: See yah!
Minori: So long, Meanies!
Murakumo: We'll be seeing you three, soon.
Murakumo drops her mask on the ground, and she stomps it. The mask shatters, as Murakumo smiles at Death.
Murakumo: I don't need that, anymore. I have stared Death in the face, and now I know no fear. Thank you, Lady Death.
Death smiles, as Murakumo leaves with her sisters. The Chrono Accelerator teleports the Gessen Girls to another point in time, inside the Mandarin's palace.
Minori: What are we after next?
Yumi: The ten rings of the Mandarin.
Shiki: Um, look up!
A giant cage drops down on top of the five Gessen Girls, as they all look heavily annoyed.
Minori: Just like the bird cage we have, back at Gessen.
Yozakura: Give me a second, I'll bust us out.
Before Yozakura could move a muscle, the Mandarin freezes her, with a blast from his rings.
Mandarin: Who dares to enter my palace, uninvited!?
Shiki: We're here to save you, believe it or not, but we, like, need your rings.
Mandarin: You girls are the only ones who need saving!
Yozakura burst out of the ice block, she was trapped in, and Yozakura also destroys the cage, around the Gessen Girls.
Yozakura: I train with Yumi, everyday; the cold doesn't hurt me, genius!
Mandarin: How about a Concussion Blast?
The Mandarin fires a beam at Yozakura, but Yozakura blocks it with her gauntlets, and Yozakura is blasted into a nearby wall. Murakumo attacks Mandarin, but her cleaver and spear is blocked by Mandarin's force field. Minori tries to attack the Mandarin, from behind, but Minori is tossed into a wall. Shiki throws Mjolnir at the Mandarin, but the Mandarin blasts Shiki with his rings, and sends Shiki into his underground dungeon, as Mjolnir hits the ground, unmoving.
Yumi: Where is she!?
Mandarin: I sent her to my dungeons. She isn't alone! The half-breed Vampire, Blade, is down there, too. I've had Blade captured for months, now. He's mad with a thirst for blood, and your friend is doomed, once Blade bites her! Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!
Murakumo: No! Damn you!
Murakumo attacks the Mandarin, and Mandarin blocks all of Murakumo's attacks with the energy of his rings. Yumi tries to freeze the Mandarin, but the Mandarin blasts Yumi into a wall. Meanwhile, Shiki sits up, and she's in the Mandarin's dungeon. Shiki smells blood, and she looks all around her. The walls are soaked in blood, and Shiki can hear heavy breathing.
Shiki: What the fuck is this, like, what on Earth!?
Shiki can feel the presence of a dark individual, nearby, and Shiki tries to remain calm. Before Shiki knows it, Shiki is forced into a wall, and Blade is trying to bite her.
Shiki: THE FUCK!? BLADE, IS THAT YOU!? I REMEMBER YOU FROM THE FILES! OH MY GOD, HE'S BLOOD THIRSTY!
Shiki is holding Blade back, but Blade won't let up on Shiki. Shiki pushes Blade into a nearby wall, and Shiki stands ready for Blade to come at her, again. Shiki thinks for a moment, and she realizes something. Shiki realizes that she can become a true symbol of the night, and gain the power to protect her sisters, and the woman she loves; even though her love interest doesn't realize who she is, yet. Shiki removes her Cheongsam, and Shiki's breast are exposed. Shiki closes her eyes, and Shiki allows Blade to bite her throat, as blood sprays everywhere.
Shiki: Damn! Enjoy this, while you can, Blade! It's my turn, next!
Blade drinks a large amount of Shiki's blood, and Blade stops to recover his composure. While Blade is distracted, and regaining his senses, Shiki summons her Double Scythe. Shiki, weakly, throws her Scythe at Blade; cutting off the Day Walker's head. Shiki sinks to her knees, as she holds her still bleeding throat. Shiki crawls over to Blade's body, and Shiki licks her lips.
Shiki: I'm sorry, Blade. I'll see you, again, on the new Earth.
Shiki begins to drink Blade's blood, and Shiki can feel her wound healing. Shiki goes as far as to bite into Blade's flesh, and Shiki begins to eat the remains of the Day Walker's body. Shiki growls like a ravenous beast, as her crimson eyes begin to glow. Shiki falls over in pain, as her body begins to change, and Shiki's heart begins to beat very, very slowly. Shiki cries out in pain, and everyone in Mandarin's palace can hear her.
Mandarin: Looks like Blade has gotten to your friend! You four are next!
Murakumo: No! Damn you!
Yumi: Shiki!
Murakumo attacks the Mandarin, and the Mandarin blocks all of Murakumo's attacks; knocking Murakumo to the floor. Yozakura and Minori attacks the Mandarin, but he uses his rings to encase the two girls inside a forcefield, as the Mandarin throws them against a wall. Shiki is breathing hard, as Shiki puts her Cheongsam back on. Shiki feels her fangs, growing in, as Shiki can hear the heartbeats of her sisters, and her lover. Shiki hears the heartbeat of the Mandarin, and Shiki grows very angry. Shiki summons Mjolnir, and Mjolnir comes bursting through the wall, and into Shiki's hand. Mjolnir is sentient, and is in love with Shiki, no matter if Shiki is worthy, or not. Mjolnir knows who it's new master is, and Shiki uses Mjolnir to fly into battle, as she bursts through the Mandarin's floor, and smacks Mandarin with Mjolnir.
Murakumo: Shiki!? You're alright!
Shiki: I'm better than alright, Murachi. I'm a Vampire, now.
Yumi: Shiki, how!? Why!?
Shiki: I let Blade bite me, and I drank his blood. It hurt, it hurt so badly, but here I am. I'm a creature of the night, now, and there is no going back! Yumi, I did it for us. I did it for you!
Yumi is confused by Shiki's words, and Mandarin is back on his feet. Mandarin blasts Shiki, with his rings, but Shiki blocks the blast with Mjolnir. Shiki is holding the Mandarin back, as Murakumo comes from behind, and Murakumo slices off the Mandarin's fingers.
Mandarin: DAMN YOU, YOU WITCH! AAAAHHHH!
Murakumo: I grow tired of dealing with you, Sorcerer! The rings are ours!
Minori playfully picks up the Mandarin's fingers, and takes the rings off of them, while humming. Yumi freezes the Mandarin's entire body, while gazing at his frozen, screaming face. Minori throws the rings into her bag, and Murakumo checks Shiki, over.
Murakumo: How does it feel? Are you even still alive?
Shiki: My heart beats very slowly, and my pulse is still her. I don't feel dead, just….hungry. I also feel very horny, but that is all for Yumi.
Yumi: What do you mean, Shiki!? I'm confused!
Shiki: Yumi, you have a Sex Addiction. You raped Carol Danvers, you assisted in raping Asuka, back at the Guardian Dogs Temple, and you've shown signs of a Sexual Addiction, since Hanzo molested us, way back when! Yumi, if you need to fuck someone, so badly, then allow me to be your piece of meat!
Yozakura: She's right, Yumi. I saw it, during the Guardian Dogs Temple training. Master Hattori told us to have no mercy, even against our own sisters, but when it came time to torture another Kunoichi for information, you went above and beyond that. The look in your eyes was scary, Yumi.
Yumi looks at her sisters, and Yumi feels a slight bit guilty, about having her darkest secret out in the open. Yumi, the Noble Ice Queen of Gessen Girls' Academy, is a Sexual Deviant. Yumi craves sex, she demands it. Yumi, before the fall of the universe, used to see Miyabi, in secret. Miyabi played the role of Yumi's sex slave, all while Imu and Shiki suffered in the shadows. Shiki lashed out at her sisters, because she always wanted Yumi, but couldn't have her, and Imu fell into a depression, because Miyabi chose Yumi over her.
Yumi: Okay, so I enjoy cumming; am I that much of a monster? Look at you, Shiki. You're a Vampire, now, and there is no reversing this transformation! Dammit, Shiki! You've damned yourself!
Shiki: I DID IT FOR YOU! I DID IT TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR BAD HABITS! DAMN YOU, YUMI! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU!?
Shiki begins to cry tears of blood; she no longer has normal tears, and Murakumo holds Shiki, close. Yumi takes a few steps back, and Minori and Yozakura remains quiet.
Murakumo: Shiki is still our sister. I love her, no matter what! Plus, we dreamt about this, before, Yumi. You're not mad at Shiki for becoming a Vampire, you're mad because Shiki becoming a Vampire signals the dramatic changes we'll all soon undergo.
Yumi: …..yes…..
Yozakura: Shiki becomes a Vampire, Murakumo becomes one with an Apex Predator, I become the embodiment of power, Minori becomes a Trickster, and Yumi becomes a Goddess of the Cold. None of that sounds too bad.
Yumi: We lose our humanity! Even if we do bring back the world we use to know, they won't trust us! We'll be feared!
Murakumo: Then we'll be feared as sisters! Even if the others fall, we'll stand, and fight! As long as we have each other!
Yumi looks around at Shiki, Murakumo, Yozakura, and Minori, and she sees the love and determination in the eyes of her sisters. Yumi smiles, as she hugs Shiki.
Yumi: Shiki, we'll talk about this. For now, let's get going.
Shiki nods, as Yumi kisses Shiki's forehead. Yozakura pushes over the frozen Mandarin, and he shatters into pieces.
Yozakura: Oops.
Yumi uses the Chrono Accelerator to head to the next point in time, as the Kunoichis land in New York City, near the X-Mansion. The Gessen Girls can see Charles Xavier's estate, but they all feel tired, and they want to wait until morning. The moon shines brightly, and Yumi can feel the fatigue of her sisters.
Yumi: We're here for the Black Vortex. The X-Men have it. We'll check into a hotel, and get our hands on it, tomorrow.
Minori: But, can we beat the X-Men?
Yumi: Hopefully we won't have to. I don't wanna fight them. Let's sneak into a hotel, nearby; we can all crash in one room.
Murakumo: What about food? I'm sure we're all hungry, by now.
Shiki: Um, like, I don't need regular food, anymore. Blood is my new source of nutrition.
Yozakura: Let's go snag ourselves a hotel room, and then Minori, and I, will go grab everyone some fast food.
Minori: Sounds like a plan!
Yumi and her sisters makes their way to a nearby hotel, but none of them notice that they are being watched by Professor X, as he can sense the arrival of outsiders from another world. Will Yumi and her team manage to collect all the items they need, before it's too late?
