Nexus 12: Recap!
Hello Everyone! For this chapter, as I have reached 400,000 words, and it is the 50th chapter, I have decided to do a "quick" recap. I know it is hard to keep up with everything, and I myself have to jump backwards sometimes with a story as large as this one. So for anyone who is confused as we head into the Battle for Metropolis, and for everyone else who isn't just bear with me, I'm going to run through some of the major characters and the plot in this chapter!
First off, there is Son Goku. He appeared on Nexus first, an empty planet far away from home. For some reason his Instant Transmission wasn't working, and later on it is discovered there is a purple barrier around Nexus prevents anyone from escaping the planet. He and his son Gohan fight against Cell who was revived just as Goku was. It was two years since his fight with Cell back on his home world, and he and his son manage to defeat Cell together, before splitting up to fight against all sorts of villains on that first day and many days to follow. Two years later, Goku is the mayor of a small town called Pao in the middle of the second largest continent on Nexus, named Awul. He lives with his wife, and two sons: Gohan and Goten. As Gohan returns home one day from getting some water, a town meeting at his house is attacked with biological weapons. Those with Saiyan blood turned out to be immune to the fast-acting chemical weapons released into their house, but the humans inside were less lucky. The older the human, the quicker they died, and several influential town members were killed. The house explodes in a secondary attempt to get rid of the Saiyans, but again the attack fails.
It is discovered that Lex Luthor, the leader of the infamous Underworld was behind the attack on Pao Town. His attack killed the guild master of Fairy Tail: Makarov Dreyar, along with the martial arts Master Splinter, an old man by the name of Max Tennyson, and Goku's wife, Gohan and Goten's mother: ChiChi. With all of these people dead, all of Pao screams for war with the Underworld. However, before they can attack the Underworld, they need to find them first. Unfortunately, ki-sensing does little for finding Underworld bases, as they are all undetectable wherever they are hidden. One person visiting Pao Town does have information of the Underworld though, and his name is Timmy Turner.
Timmy arrived on Nexus at the age of ten. He was an abused child who had two Fairy Godparents who would grant his wishes to make his crappy life better… with certain rules and restrictions. Upon arriving, he saved a young woman by the name of Nami, a pirate on Straw Hat Luffy's crew. She had arrived slightly earlier on her ship, but in a fight between Tien and King Cold from the Dragonball Z (DBZ) universe, their ship was sent flying into the jungle and the crew was separated, all except for Luffy and Usopp who never showed up on the ship at all. Nami was thrown from the ship and almost killed, but Timmy wished her to safety. As the two of them try to figure out what is going on, they get wrapped up in an epic battle against Madara Uchiha who was revived just like Cell and King Cold. Madara removes Timmy's left arm without any effort at all, before starting to fight Timmy's allies: Erza, Kizaru, Neji, and Yamcha. Before his arm is removed, Timmy wishes for incredible powers, and assistance from allies around the planet. Those allies give Timmy names to wish there, and the boy wishes more allies to him halfway through the fight. One of the people who comes to help Timmy is Goku, and the two of them meet here and once again two years in the future when Timmy visits Pao. To defeat Madara Uchiha on that First Day (FD), Timmy wished for military genius, medical skills, more power than his body could handle, fighting skill, knowledge of the use of thousands of weapons, and yet he still was unable to defeat Madara. Even with the stronger fighters Timmy wishes over: Goku, Sengoku, Makarov Dreyar, and Naruto, Madara continued to gain more and more of the powers he had obtained on his own world the longer he is on Nexus, and it looks hopeless. It gets even worse as Jorgen Van Strangle comes to scold Timmy for revealing his Fairy Godparents, only for Madara to kill the strongest fairy and steal his wand. Using this wand Madara looks to be about to take over the world. One of Timmy's fairies however, his Fairy Godfather Cosmo, sacrifices himself to take out Madara and save his Godchild and everyone else. Cosmo turns himself into pure magical energy and his light destroys Madara. One of the people who Timmy wished to the fight was Naruto Uzumaki, who just like Madara, was from the Ninja World. Naruto sees Cosmo's sacrifice and takes it upon himself to save Timmy and Wanda who was worn out from the excessive use of magic during the battle.
In the present of the story, two years in the future after the mass arrival on Nexus, Timmy shows up in Pao to give the people there the information they want on the Underworld. He was actually part of a new league of people, the Anti-NEG league, who were against the main Government of Awul, the second largest continent. When he arrived at the league, he found it to be on the deck of the Straw Hats' pirate ship, the Thousand Sunny. Nami, the navigator for the Straw Hat crew, recognizes Timmy, as does every single person on board. By this time, after two years of traveling Nexus with his amazing powers, Timmy had become famous as a hero throughout the land. Nami is stunned when the robot armor he is sitting in opens up however, as not only his arm, but his legs are now also made of metal. Timmy decides to help them fight the Government, and now a twelve year old who had gained much better control over his powers over the last two years, he quickly uncovers that two of the people sitting in on their anti-government meeting were actually Underworld members in disguise. Timmy captures Count Dooku and Darth Maul, two Sith Lords who tried to fight back but were easily overpowered by the boy whose speed was only matched by the speedster on board the Sunny, Dash Parr.
Dash Parr and his family of the Incredibles all had different superpowers, and his was speed. The four of them were key members of this Anti-NEG league, along with fellow heroes, the Teen Titans. A man with powerful ice powers, Kuzan, welcomed the Titans under command of Dick Grayson, going by the name of Robin, to the meeting. When Robin arrived he discovered one of the women on Straw Hat Luffy's crew was named Nico Robin, so the superhero teen changed his name to Nightwing, changing his costume from red and black to blue and black. On board Luffy's crew at this time, are the pirate captain himself, the blond chef Sanji, the dark haired woman Robin, Nami, and the cyborg shipwright Franky. Along with the members of the Straw Hats who were originally on the crew when the ship arrived, there was also the Ice Man, their former enemy, Admiral Aokiji, going by his original name Kuzan again. One other person was on their crew, a deaf girl by the name Toph.
Those were a lot of characters all introduced at once, so to break down the members of the Anti-NEG league, you can forget about most of them for now. Most of them are defeated soon after the league is formed anyway. About a week after the Anti-NEG league is formed, and a week after Pao is attacked, the Government gets word of these things. Inside the capital city of Metropolis, a council discusses important matters for all of New Earth Government (NEG) land. More than half of Awul is under their control, with only a decent sized section to the south called Rhodar, and a few small regions holding out north of the border with Rhodar, including Pao Town resisting them. The Government gets word that pirates known to have been stealing from the Jedi were seen going to Pao. Jedi Grand Master Windu gets put in charge of going to Pao with a small force of Jedi, and finding out the truth behind this. These allegations are in fact true, as the meeting that was attacked by the Underworld in the first chapter, was a meeting with the very pirate in question, Red Hair Shanks. When the Government meeting adjourns, five members stay behind, an inner circle of High Council members who are actually in league with the Underworld. They discuss the attack on Pao that they knew of, and though angry about the Saiyans surviving, they mention that Makarov's death is convenient for them. One of the members of this group of five, Ansem, uses his powers to show an image of one of the ports in their land, Port Royal. It's at this port that the Anti-NEG league are, and when he shows the ship they are at, Fleet Admiral Akainu, or Sakazuki, declares that he wants to go, because he sees the Straw Hat symbol on Luffy's sails. However, Ansem says that his forces are already there, and requests his leave. The leader of the NEG, Tetsuo Shima, accepts Ansem's request, and Ansem- The Lord of Darkness, heads out to defeat the pirates and crush the Anti-NEG league.
Tetsuo Shima. He built up the city of Metropolis, along with the entire country of the New Earth Government. In the early days after arriving on New Earth, more commonly referred to as Nexus, Tetsuo had trouble controlling his powers. He showed off early on how powerful he could be with his powers unrestrained, when he killed the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly on the First Day. However he was untrained in fighting, his body was weak physically, and he needed help from two people to help him defeat Broly. One of the two was another Super Saiyan, by the name of Trunks. Trunks was a man who came from the DBZ world, but from a timeline far in the future than the one when most people from his universe came to Nexus. He can see Tetsuo's potential to be a monster, as when Tetsuo's rage bubbles over he truly looks insane. However Future Trunks could also see him to be a beacon of hope, to be the strongest hero in this messed up world with the incredible mental power and strength he possessed. Trunks offers to teach him, and Tetsuo has a mental struggle before accepting and putting a limit on his power to keep himself sane. The next day Tetsuo builds a safe haven while his two new friends who helped him defeat Broly, Trunks and a replacement shinigami (death god) Ichigo Kurosaki, watch in awe. He ripped mountains out of the ground, crushed them all together, and used his amazing telekinetic, mental capabilities, to keep a giant island suspended in the air indefinitely. The third day he, Goku, and Superman meet up in the sky above the largest continent on the planet, Aebrith, and they play rock paper scissors to decide who gets to fight the next enemy they have run into, Lord Boros from the One Punch Man world. Goku wins, and after the Super Saiyan defeats his regenerating, transforming opponent, Tetsuo asks Superman if Superman would join him. He, Trunks, and Ichigo had decided to make the world a safe place, where average people wouldn't be terrified all the time, and Superman decides that's a noble thing to fight for and joins with him. Tetsuo allows Superman to name the city, thus why it is called Metropolis, while Tetsuo gives the entire continent his city is on a name: A World Under Law. AWUL.
In the present, Tetsuo is still in control of his floating city covered in powerful fighters to keep the peace. They are protecting the lower city down below full of the weak humans who came to this world, and the humans who were strong but are now wearing power nullifiers on their necks to keep their strength to a normal level. All over Awul, these nullifiers are sent out to make sure there are no incredibly powerful people in the land other than the Government enforcers. This is a main reason why Tetsuo and his inner circle are against those at Pao Town who use their powers unrestrained. Also, it gives them good reason to attack Port Royal which is inside their own territory, as the people inside the Port have not been wearing the mandatory power nullifiers, no matter how strong they are.
On the day a week after the formation of the Anti-NEG league, a week after Pao's bombing, Ansem attacks Port Royal. Timmy Turner, the strongest fighter the Anti-NEG league has, is currently out of the port though. Earlier that morning, he felt a strong power approaching in the sea and went to go find out who it was, coming upon Shanks. Shanks hears what Timmy tells him about the rebels in Port Royal who Shanks then goes to help, while Shanks mentions the bombing of Pao, and they both realize they needed the other's information. Shanks heads off to get the supplies to the rebels, while Timmy, who interrogated the Sith Lords they captured by reading their minds, goes off to Pao to tell the people there that he knows where several Underworld bases are after reading Darth Maul's mind. When he arrives in Pao Town at the new meeting hall, he finds that Pao's council is a lot younger than before. Most of the old council members were dead, and their successors took their places. Laxus Dreyar stepped in for his grandfather Makarov, becoming the temporary leader of Fairy Tail in the meantime, while Leonardo, the oldest brother of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), stepped in for the late Master Splinter. Two of the younger members of the council who were human also survived when the Saiyans rescued them, but they breathed in some of the poisonous gas and became ill: Najenda and Aang. Lubba steps in for his leader Najenda in the meeting and gives up the information they have on the Underworld, but it isn't much to go on.
Timmy arrives at the meeting hall while they're discussing what to do about the Underworld, and everyone is stunned to hear that he is the Legendary Timmy Turner. Goku is pretty surprised as he had heard about Timmy as well and totally forgot about the boy he met on the First Day during their fight with Madara. Timmy is about to tell them where the Underworld bases are, when he senses a disturbance back at Port Royal. He senses out that direction, and can feel Ansem attacking the Port. He tries to leave, but Pao's residents are pissed and try to stop him. He says he'll let them know where the Underworld bases are, but only after he goes and saves his own friends. He says he needs to save Luffy, Nami, and the others, and a few of the people there actually mutter their names out loud again. Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta all accept going, because they want to get the information about the Underworld bases as fast as they can, but also because Gohan recognized Luffy's name. Three others also decide to go along: Natsu, Juvia, and Ben Tennyson.
Ben leaves his cousin Gwen behind, who is still back at their house sulking about their grandfather's death, as he had been the one watching out for them since they got here. Ben Tennyson was eleven years old when he got to the new world, and he was now thirteen two years later. The boy had a green watch on his wrist that was the most powerful weapon in his universe, as it had the power to transform him into any one of ten thousand species of aliens. He, Natsu, and Juvia are carried off towards Port Royal by the Saiyans. Juvia recognized the names Nami and Luffy, as she spent a lot of time with the Straw Hat crew during the months that followed the First Day on Nexus. It is unknown how long she spent with them, but long enough that she said she was with them until she met back up with her Fairy Tail friends. When they all arrive at the scene of Port Royal that Timmy Turner led them to, a shocking scene is laid out before them as the city burns. Ben Tennsyon, or Ben 10, recognizes the carnage around him though, having seen something of the kind before, and mutters the word, "Heartless."
When Ben first arrived on Nexus, he showed up without his grandfather or cousin Gwen, both of whom were with him in Pao town at the start of the story two years after his arrival on the planet. When he arrived, he joined up with a large group of people led by a few ninjas, strong people on all sides, even a giant. However, a horde of savage warriors on horseback attacked them. While one teen with silver hair held them off, a legion of zombies called White Walkers attacked from another side. As zombies ripped through the large group of people, the friendly giant on their side got attacked by Godzilla. Ben and a boy a year younger than him, ten at the time, were not going to stand by and let this all happen. This ten year old boy who helped Ben fight all the bad guys, was Dash Parr, the same young speedster who showed up on the Straw Hats ship with his family two years later to fight the Government and their rules that discriminated against the strong. Dash and Ben save a blonde woman named Leone who was swarmed by a few zombies, and Ben goes on to transform into a flaming alien called Heatblast that he uses to defeat the White Walkers and their leader the Night's King. He and Dash then race over to the silver haired boy in the back of the group, and help him take on the Dothraki horde of savage horse-riders. The three of them win, but as they catch back up to their group, they watch in horror as all the friends they made in the last few days are gunned down by other humans who consider themselves the master race, the Brittanians, inside futuristic robots called Knightmares. Godzilla kills the nice giant Brogy, and all that remained of the group were the three boys standing on a hilltop. As they stand there, Krillin arrives, another Z warrior from the DBZ universe. The fighters from that universe are some of the strongest in this new world, and he comes in, destroys the small army of futuristic robots, and kills Godzilla, before flying away to continue helping innocent people and beating up bad guys.
Ben, Dash, and the silver haired boy become friends. They learn his name, Riku, and over the next few weeks of them traveling together, Riku teaches them how to fight better, how to get stronger. Riku is sixteen at the time he arrives on the planet. During their travels together, Ben notices something is wrong with his older friend many times, and Riku admits to having some darkness inside him, and talks a little about his past as a traveler between worlds, and getting lost to the darkness. Not even a month after their travels begin, Dash finds his family, and has to leave his friends as they continue to search for their own friends and family. After that, Ben and Riku continue to travel together, getting closer the whole time. They join up with Luffy and Usopp at one point, the two pirates having arrived on this world somewhere different than the rest of their crew, but finding new friends nonetheless who were doing the same thing they were; looking for friends. Ben finds his grandpa Max and cousin Gwen, who is the same age as him, and they have a happy reunion. Riku says goodbye, but Ben denies him and says he won't give up until they find Riku's friends too. A few days after Ben meets back up with his family, they enter a town which is led by Sora, Riku's best friend, and a few other strong fighters. Riku reunites with Sora, and their friend Kairi, who is holding Sora's hand, apparently the two of them being a thing now. Riku's jealousy rises, and then when the town is attacked and hundreds of people die, his anger, envy, all the parts of him that could make him fall to darkness did, and someone residing deep inside him came up to the surface. A man who took over his body a long time ago and had been regaining his strength through Riku's travels, Xehanort's Heartless who went by the name Ansem. Ansem takes over Riku's body, and takes command of the army of manned flying robots called Ganmen, turning their leader Cytomander into one of his Heartless soldiers by releasing the darkness in his heart with a dark Keyblade. Ben's grandpa knocks him out and runs away with him and Gwen, while Sora and Luffy try fighting Ansem. The two of them fight him and the robots, alongside an old man who is furious about the destruction of this town. Master Makarov of Fairy Tail showed up, two months after arriving on Nexus, and twenty two months before his death at the hands of the Underworld. Makarov kills Cytomander and beats up Ansem with the help from the other fighters, but it is not in time to save them all, and Ansem retreats after his defeat. Ansem lost his new robot army, and the commander he turned, but he kept control over Riku's body, and gained a good soldier out of Usopp, who he turned to the darkness during the battle.
In the present, Ben arrives in Port Royal to see Ansem, the form that Riku transformed into after being taken over. Ansem has armies of Heartless around him, dark creatures running through the port and taking people's hearts away. Along with Ansem is an enormous army, and half of his Army of Darkness's commanders. Maleficent, Oogie Boogie, Hades, Urusla, all with the power to control the Heartless, all extremely powerful. Ben jumps out of the arms of the Saiyan who carried him here, and attacks Ansem furiously, surprising Dash and Luffy who are shocked to see Ben again after so long. Ben screams at Ansem to give Riku back, and beats the man down to the dock as he falls from the air. Ansem is too powerful for him, but Gohan distracts the man for a little, while Dash and Ben run off to go fight elsewhere. All over Port Royal, the Anti-NEG league were being destroyed easily, but with the fighters from Pao along with Timmy Turner showing up, the tides were shifted back to even. Shanks' crew was the first to get hit, with maybe the second most powerful person in the city at the time of the attack getting turned into a Heartless soldier first. Shanks' first mate Benn Beckman turned on them after getting attacked by Ansem and kept the Akagami captain busy, while hundred foot tall Heartless monsters, called Darksides, and armies of dark creatures took apart the Anti-NEG league piece by piece. Timmy Turner realizes they are in a pinch as Hades summons a Titan called Cyclops into the city to fight Goku, Gohan is caught fighting Ansem, Vegeta against Ursula, and pretty much everyone else about to get taken by the Heartless. Remembering how he could not defeat Madara on his own, Timmy reads the minds of several people in the middle of fights, discovers powerful fighters that are not currently there and happen to be alive, and he wishes them all there.
These new fighters turn the tide of some battles. Mirai (Future) Trunks, appears from out of nowhere to help his father who had no idea his son from the future had come to Nexus with them. Trunks was not part of the inner circle who sent Ansem to attack Pao, so he has no idea what is going on and angrily attacks the Heartless. Erza appears to save Natsu and she goes to destroy Oogie Boogie, giving Natsu the chance to go fight Maleficent and Hades who are using fire for him to eat. Natsu gets incredibly strong, and Hades backs out of the fight, stepping into a portal to retreat, while leaving Cerberus and the Cyclops Titan behind to fight. Ansem is getting hard pressed, but he laughs at Gohan who was trying to stop him, and by doing so let so many fall to darkness. Gohan looks around and sees the same thing many fighters are witnessing as people all over the city are sucked into black portals, dragged inside by Heartless creatures. Timmy Turner wished Luffy's long-dead brother Ace to the fight, as Luffy was helpless when faced up against Usopp who he had thought dead for almost two years. Ace had been revived back on this planet just like Son Goku and Cell, and he comes to stop Usopp from killing a shocked Luffy. Even Ace can't save all of Luffy's crewmates though, and Nico Robin and Sanji are both taken by darkness. Dash Parr sees his mother and father, Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, get sucked into the darkness, right before his older sister Violet gets taken away as well. Mandy from the "Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" was also a member of the Anti-NEG league, and she can only watch in fear as Grim and Billy are both taken away. Juvia is about to get sucked down into darkness too as she tries protecting Nami from Heartless, but the water magic she is using freezes, and the man she had a crush on back on their own world two years before, Gray Fullbuster, appears above her, Timmy wished him there as well. Still, Gray's appearance in the battle does not change the tides much, as two Teen Titans, Beast Boy and Starfire, along with many of Shanks' crew are also pulled into darkness. Then, as Ansem brags about his coming victory, someone charges out onto the docks where the majority of the fighting is, and Ansem looks more scared of him than of the Super Saiyans. He summoned a lion whose roar destroyed a large amount of Heartless. He flew up in the air in glowing white clothing, with two Keyblades hovering above his head, while holding two more in his hands. It was Sora.
At the time of Port Royal's attack, Sora was seventeen. He was woken up in an inn from the noise of the battles, and jumped out of the bed where he lay in his underwear next to Kairi. She wished him luck and he dove out to fight the Heartless. Sora met up with Kairi very early on in Nexus, and the flashbacks through the story indicate that they have been together the whole time since then. After pushing Ansem back the day he took over Riku's body, they started to look for Ansem to try and get Riku back. After a few hundred days, Sora and Kairi began traveling with a lonely boy named Ash, and his best friend Pikachu. Ash had lost his traveling companions, either to never showing up with him, or losing them after arriving like so many people had. He was not far behind them however, as a crazy girl with pink hair kills him one day, and he leaves behind the four Pokemon he has in this world to Sora. Sora takes the Blaziken from the girl Ash used to know, May, and now it has switched owners twice recently, so it and Pikachu, Ash's closest friend, both do not treat Sora like their true trainer. Pikachu is depressed and starts traveling in a ball like normal Pokemon. Sora gets torn up about Ash's death, but he accepts Ash's final wishes and looks after Pikachu, Blaziken, Charizard, and Lugia. By the time in the present at the battle of Port Royal, Sora's team is up to six members, but as he jumped out the window to fight in Port Royal in only his underwear, he forgot his Pokemon belt in the inn. When Sora arrives, the tide of the battle starts to change as he pushes Ansem back hard, battling him with incredible strength that he had gained over the last two years. Ansem does not go down easy though, but Sora was not trying to kill him, instead Sora stops and starts giving a speech to try and get Riku to show through from deep inside Ansem. Though Ansem laughs at the idea, he feels Riku getting pulled out and decides to make a tactical retreat, disappearing into a huge door of darkness that sends attacks out to make sure he isn't followed. Meanwhile, Mirai Trunks steals the trident from Ursula's hands and fires it at her, destroying her completely with his father's help, then using the powerful trident to destroy large Heartless creations called Darksides. Gohan left fighting Ansem up to Sora, so that he could go around the Port saving everyone else he could, thus the army of Heartless were defeated. Erza defeated Oogie Boogie, and Goku and Natsu took care of the other big baddies inside the Port's city away from the docks. Everyone is really depressed about losing their friends and family, but Sora gives an uplifting speech about getting all their friends back, then he heads into the city and finds Maleficent who was left behind by the rest of the army of Darkness. He convinces her to turn on Ansem, and she tells him where to find the Lord of Darkness, at his castle, Castle Oblivion. There, she said, the Door to Darkness awaited, Kingdom Hearts.
At this point, now that the battle is over, Goku and Vegeta confront Timmy Turner about the Underworld. They came to help, but they were not really enemies of the Government, so they were not going to go start attacking NEG members out of nowhere. Goku is more sympathetic than Vegeta, but he is more interested in finding the Underworld members who killed his wife that Timmy gives them the directions to, so the two of them fly off. Gohan stays behind with Natsu, Ben, and Juvia however, to help the remaining members of the Anti-NEG league get back their friends from the darkness. Ben is 100% with Sora's idea to get Riku back, and Sora promises Kairi before they leave that he will return with Riku, which he ultimately does. The Straw Hats, Dash Parr, the remaining three Teen Titans, Batman, Kuzan, Mandy, Ben and Sora, they had all lost people close to them, and they set off with a purpose towards Castle Oblivion. Gray and Erza who Timmy wished to the battle learn from Natsu and Juvia that the Master had recently died, along with many of their fellow Fairy Tail mages that Natsu goes over in a quick list, ending with his closest friends Happy and Lucy. The fact that they were all dead broke Erza and Gray's hearts, but hearing about the Master, and how they knew who killed him, both of them decide to help Natsu and his friends destroy the Underworld, but only after they crush Ansem first.
Timmy talks to Gohan on their way to Castle Oblivion about something he found disgusting during the battle. When their comrades were defeated, many of them were turned against their own friends. Like how Usopp had to fight Luffy, or Benn Beckman had to fight Shanks. Speaking of Shanks, the Red Haired Pirate Emperor set sail before Luffy and the rest of them, heading to Castle Oblivion with his crew alone to go and get Beckman and their other crew members back. This came back to bite them as they were all turned into Heartless, forced to fight against the main group who arrived a little later. The reason why Timmy disliked this method however, was that he knew someone once who was a great person, but turned on his friends and killed most of them. This person was his closest friend on this world, Naruto Uzumaki. That story comes back up later, much after Castle Oblivion is crushed by Timmy, Gohan, Sora, Ben, and the rest.
Crossing the field from the shore to Castle Oblivion showed off the amazing powers of the people coming to attack Ansem. However, Ansem went back to Metropolis to get some help defending his castle, and now had one of the members of Tetsuo's inner circle with him. This was another man who knew of the Underworld alliance, a powerful Pokemon trainer named Giovanni. The two of them sat at the top floor with all of Ansem's top subordinates, who are sent to each floor of the castle to guard against the intruders. On the first floor, Hades steps out, lord of the literal underworld, ruler of Hell, and he battles everyone for a few seconds, but quickly realizes he can not take on all of them, and especially not on the surface like this. He sucks Natsu, Juvia, Gray, and Erza down to Hell to fight on his own turf, and Natsu calls to Ben telling his younger friend from Pao to definitely get Riku back. While the Fairy Tail wizards fight Hades in Hell, the rest of them rose up through Castle Oblivion. Only three remained outside to continue to keep the tens of thousands of Heartless at bay, but Gohan sends Timmy and Sora inside when he feels something big coming. Sora had one of his Legendary Pokemon, Lugia, out destroying enemies, but he recalls the huge Pokemon and heads inside with Timmy, who makes a wish to transform himself into a more muscular, taller figure than his usual short height. When they go inside, Gohan gets stuck fighting Cthulhu outside, who had been captured by the darkness and sent out by Ansem to fight him. On the second floor of Castle Oblivon, Nightwing, Raven, and Cyborg all stay back to fight an old enemy of the Teen Titans from their own world, Brother Blood. Unable to take him on their own, Cyborg Franky from the Straw Hats stays behind too. On the first floor of the castle, the Fairy Tail wizards reappear after Natsu deals a finishing blow to Hades inside of Hell. Outside of the castle, Cthulhu gets wrecked when Gohan powers up to a Super Saiyan 2, but the exhausted boy collapses afterwards, just like most of the Fairy Tail wizards inside the first floor. Everyone is still exhausted from their fights in Port Royal, while the Heartless never seemed to get tired at all.
Gwen Tennyson. Ben's sometimes annoying, always caring orange haired cousin. She knew magic before coming to this world, and only got better at it since arriving on Nexus. Back in Pao Town, she was invited to the beach by her friend Lisanna, who was watching Goten and Chibi Trunks for the day. Chibi Trunks was Vegeta's own actual son, not a version of his son from a different timeline like the one he just fought with at Port Royal. Gwen goes to the beach with them, but she asks questions wondering where Goku and Vegeta went that Lisanna had to watch their kids, then wonders why Natsu isn't there either, and Lisanna finally admits that they all left, and Ben went with them. Gwen freaks out and flies away from the lake using her magic back to town, where she confronts Laxus Dreyar about it. Laxus ignores her however, as he's in the middle of an important talk with a group of Jedi in front of him. Mace Windu is questioning them about the supplies they got from Shanks, who stole those supplies from Jedi like them. Goku arrives and Laxus thinks the mayor will be able to diffuse the situation, but instead Goku just admits to it, laughs, and talks about fighting Ansem who is a member of the High Council like Mace Windu, making the Jedi all get ready for a fight. Goku and Vegeta quickly go over what terrible things happened in Port Royal though, and Obi-Wan Kenobi reads Goku's mind to find out that the Saiyan is in fact telling the truth. The Jedi leave to go confront the NEG's leader on the truth of the issue, while Gwen turns back to Laxus and demands he take her to where Ben is. He is against it at first, but then Vegeta mentions how Timmy Turner teleported two of Laxus's friends here, their names, Gray and Erza. Excited by this news, Laxus grabs Gwen and flies the two of them hundreds of miles to Castle Oblivion. They reach it just a little too late though, and Laxus screams as he tears apart the Heartless all gathered around where he just felt Gohan's power disappear. The two of them head inside, and Laxus sees Erza and the others about to be consumed by Heartless as Erza can no longer stay conscious, the last one able to fight on the first floor. Laxus destroys the Heartless and stays down there to protect his friends, while Gwen goes upstairs to find Ben.
Through all of Castle Oblivion, each of the characters got into their own individual fights. Sometimes there would be two or three people fighting the same person, but the higher they got, the more nervous the heroes became that they would run out of people before the castle ran out of floors. Timmy and Sora showed up at one point, having rushed up past the two floors below without interfering with the battles. Dash stopped in a room to fight another speedster, faster than he is, called the Flash. Batman was with them, having come to Port Royal just earlier that day, and he recognized Barry Allen, or the Flash, right before getting a fist to the face. Dash fights the Flash, and Timmy wishes for Wanda to make him "stronger." Inside a fake universe/replica of Agrabah, a world Sora had been to before, another of Ansem's minions Jafar pops out. Sora summons Genie to fight Jafar, and Genie mentions that Jafar has been missing for years, hence giving evidence that the other worlds they left behind when teleporting to Nexus were not destroyed, they were all still out there. Timmy stays with Genie, Wanda (his Fairy Godmother), and Kuzan, the Ice Man, to fight Jafar while the others continue to move. Mandy stops at the next floor to fight a boy covered in blue flames who is also being controlled by the Heartless. The young twelve year old girl who was always frowning picked up her best friend the Grim Reaper's scythe that he dropped in Port Royal before getting taken by the darkness. Using it she fought her enemy, Okumura Rin, while allowing the others to keep moving. Finally, Batman, Luffy, Nami, and Ace all get stopped in a fake version of Hollow Bastion, another world Sora had traveled to during his previous life saving the multiverse. Sora and Ben are the only ones who make it through up to the second to last room, while Luffy and Ace get caught fighting Shanks, along with Luffy's crew members Robin and Sanji, and Shanks' entire crew. Nami and Batman get caught fighting... literally everyone else who Ansem captured at Port Royal and over the years. Sora makes it up to the second to top floor, but Giovanni saw the pokeballs at his waist and challenges him, letting Ben run right by. Sora tells Ben he can do it, just like Natsu did, and just like Dash after him.
Ben heads up to the top floor on his own, while his cousin Gwen saves the fighters on the second floor from Brother Blood and makes her way all the way up to Hollow Bastion along with some other fighters who finished their fights and were still raring for a fight. Nightwing, Cyborg, Raven, and Franky manage to defeat Brother Blood, and then while the two robots watch over an injured Raven, Nightwing runs up after Gwen to head further up the castle. Gwen gets up to Hollow Bastion with Nightwing, Mandy (who beat Rin), Timmy (Who put Jafar back in his lamp), and Kuzan, along with a badly beaten Dash who just barely beat the Flash. Unfortunately, things don't go well once they get up there, as another of Ansem's minions, a fool by the name of Pete who Maleficent always talked up, got his heart unlocked by Ansem to release his darkness, and was able to overpower the heroes with his new strength. He turns Nami into a Heartless, and Nightwing and Gwen start falling to similar fates. Luffy and Ace manage to take down Shadow Shanks, but the rest of the dark pirates don't let up, and both brothers are too weak to fight anymore, so Luffy has to watch as Nami gets turned to Heartless just like the rest of his crew had. All seems lost for them, but Ben is fighting hard up on the top floor to free them. Ben is able to see all of his friends on different floors fighting the never-ending waves of Heartless, and he turns to the Door of Darkness leading inside a room where he hears Ansem's voice. He runs inside to find Ansem has Gohan hostage, now Gohan and Riku would be trapped in here if he were to just close the door on them. Ben fights his best anyway, despite being in a realm of pure black, fighting giant monsters of darkness while his enemy was seemingly impossible to damage. Ben's Omnitrix had a time limit and ran out before he could do any serious damage, but the boy yells in defiance when Ansem tells him it's all over. He thinks on a time when Gohan once told him he would only train him if Ben could learn a fairly simple technique that he then exemplified. Ben uses that Kamehameha Wave for the first successful time ever on Ansem, but inside the Realm of Darkness, Ansem is far too powerful, and the wall of darkness he created blocked out the energy wave easily. However, when the darkness surrounds Ben and Ansem thinks he's won, a light shines out from within and Ben is holding up a Keyblade, stunning the Lord of Darkness.
On the floor below them, Sora fought Giovanni with the full strength of his arsenal, showing off all of Ash's Pokemon and his own: Charizard, Blaziken, Lugia, Mew and a giant Dragonnite. He saved Pikachu for last. Giovanni used his Mewtwo to attack certain Pokemon directly, and Sora dove in front of his attacks proving to Mewtwo once again that not all humans were evil. Giovanni also had dark balls that made his Tyrannitar and Celebi evil. Finally he called in Arceus, the God of the Pokemon world that was the only reason he was able to get a spot so high in the High Council of the NEG. Sora calls out Pikachu though, and Pikachu knows Mewtwo, along with Celebi, and Arceus. Giovanni is stunned speechless, as Pikachu frees Celebi from the binds of its dark ball just by talking to it, and Arceus praised Pikachu for saving it in the distant past, then asked about Ash. It turns out Giovanni was Ash's father, and though he never said anything, when Sora mentions Ash died, Giovanni breaks down realizing he never once met his son, and Sora scolds him for being a horrible person and the such, takes his Pokeballs and Masterballs, while slicing apart the Dark Balls with his Keyblade. Then, Sora leaves to go upstairs with Timmy who just appeared with him.
Sora, Ben, and Timmy face off against Ansem on the top floor. Ben uses his newly gained Keyblade to unlock his Omnitrix, giving himself full access to all ten thousand of his aliens at any time he wanted. Timmy frees Gohan from the darkness he's captured in before it can completely take him over, though Ansem laughs and says if even for a second, Gohan was for sure a Heartless. All four heroes fight against Ansem and Timmy reads the man's mind to find out that he had nothing to do with Naruto's betrayal, and knew nothing about it. He does however get enraged at Ansem's actions over the years, and tries killing him, but Ben and Sora stop him, and Sora shouts at Ansem about how they first met Kairi, and how they wanted to go on adventures, bringing out the Riku in Ansem. Then, Sora forgives Ansem. He tells the man that Riku and he can't keep fighting for control of the same body or they'll rip themselves apart, so they have to learn to co-exist. Timmy says if they don't co-exist he'll kill them, so there really is no choice, and Riku finally gets his body back after almost two years. They all run towards the exit planning to leave, but Riku tries to stay back, not wanting to let Ansem out. Yet Ben hits him, just like he used to when they first showed up on the planet when Riku would show signs of turning evil, and he promises to bring him back again if Ansem does break his word and take over again. Riku agrees, then he, Sora, Timmy, Gohan, and Ben all leave the Realm of Darkness and try to close the door, only for all of them except for Timmy to pass out. Timmy closes the door on his own.
When the door closes, all the Heartless started to vanish. All of the fighters covered in darkness lost their dark coatings and everyone had happy reunions all over the castle. Injured people felt their injuries healing as white light surrounded them, but the castle then started shaking and began to collapse. They tried to make it out on their own, but Timmy decided he couldn't risk everyone's lives and had to wish them all out of there with Wanda. Unfortunately, she was already weakened from rebuilding Port Royal after the earlier battle, teleporting Timmy all over the castle and changing around his fighting styles, and not to mention making Dash stronger for his fight. Suddenly wishing over a hundred people to be teleported through all of Castle Oblivion's theoretical universes back outside took all of Wanda's remaining strength, turning her normally pink hair gray like it was for a long time after the fight with Madara. All of the fighters escape from Castle Oblivion, which sinks down into the ground, and then they return to Port Royal for a party.
This is probably the halfway point of the first season of Nexus, if this recap right here were the end of a season. XD! Anyway, after the celebration for getting all their friends back, including Usopp who had been gone for years, and Wendy Marvel who the Fairy Tail wizards didn't even know was turned to a Heartless a long time ago, the heroes decided to move on to Underworld bases. Shanks was leaving the next day as he was not going to follow behind Luffy's Anti-NEG league, not a chance of him following the younger pirate any day. It wouldn't matter though, as Luffy decided he wanted to fight the Underworld too, getting distracted from the whole Anti-NEG thing for over a month of fights. The Anti-NEG league broke apart. The Incredibles decided they could not stay in, because if one Government leader could do this much damage, then how could they even think of standing up against the whole NEG? Only Dash has a problem with his family deciding not to fight anymore, but he would rather fight the Underworld anyway, and just starts sneaking off to go do that, alongside his new teacher... The Flash.
Dash Parr was found by his older sister Violet after only three weeks on the new planet. He felt very attached to Ben and Riku, but had to let them go to go with Violet instead to where his parents were. That decision always haunted him though, and as he continued Riku's training advice through the next two years, he always wondered if his friends had died a long time ago. When Ben told him what had happened to Riku not long after they left him, he replied with, "…you mean, when I left you..." as he had been carrying the guilt of that for two years. The twelve year old fought hand to hand against the Flash, a faster enemy with more skill than him, but Barry Allen was unable to show his full strength while under the control of the Heartless, for his strength wasn't in the increased power being a Heartless gave him, but in his own mental capacities. After the battles when Dash talked to the Flash about the fight, Flash told the boy some of the powers he would be able to obtain if he were to learn how to use his speed the right way. Dash wanted to be stronger than anything, to be powerful enough to make sure his friends never got hurt again, so this was a no-brainer for him, even if his parents did not know or approve of it... especially since their training sessions usually involved Underworld bases. On the night before Metropolis, his parents ground him and when he refuses his father Mr. Incredible knocks him out to prevent him from rushing to his death in Metropolis the next day.
Underworld bases came with their fair share of losses. In the first base they attacked as a large group, a Balrog by the name of Durin's Bane used his long whip to kill one of the ninja turtles, the youngest brother, and friend to Ben and Gohan. Michelangelo, or Mikey, was killed, while Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo were all injured pretty badly. Leonardo got it second worst of them all, still being unconscious a full month after that battle. His brother Raphael is going to avenge their younger brother no matter what it takes in Metropolis, Raph was just hoping he wouldn't have to avenge Leo too, and that the leader of their ninja group would wake up soon, however he has almost given up hope as every doctor who comes to Pao to try and help Leonardo apologizes as they can't do anything for him. In that Underworld base, Gohan goes on to kill most of the Balrogs mercilessly after seeing Mikey's dead body.
Through the invasion of Underworld bases, sometimes attacking more than one in each day, the fighters going against the Underworld were getting stronger and stronger. For over a month they fought tooth and nail against brutal enemies, enemies they did not feel sorry for as they screamed "For ChiChi," or "For the Master!" while they charged the bases. Another popular thing to shout was just roaring the name, "LUTHOR!" when running into a base, and hoping they would be the lucky fighter who found the leader of the Underworld. One person who clearly got stronger from the start of the attacks on the Underworld to the night before the attack on Metropolis, was Ben 10. Ben attacked the first base with little understanding of the new aliens on his watch he had unlocked with his Keyblade, he didn't conserve the number of transformations he had to make, had to be saved by his cousin a few times. The night before Metropolis though, he fought against Kirito and showed how much stronger he had become with his training at these bases, going as far as to surprise Vegeta and the other Z fighters watching as he flew up in the air with control over his ki, and Gohan told them at that moment that Ben had learned the Kamehameha Wave as well.
The boy Ben fought that night was five years older than him, eighteen years old, only sixteen when he showed up on Nexus. Kirito. Kirito joined the people fighting against the Underworld after the Underworld base he was working at got destroyed by Son Goku single-handedly. He thought the Underworld were the only ones allowed to use weapons outside of the Government forces anymore, so he joined them to continue his training, without having to join the Government he despised. Goku showed him a new way, a place he could train, and a home of people who would not betray and try to kill him like the members of his own Underworld base. Two years earlier when Kirito first arrived on Nexus, he showed up directly in front of Son Goku, right before Goku flew away, a moment that changed his life. The week that followed his appearance on this world was too crazy for most people from his world. He made friends with a young girl with white wings named Angel, and comforted her as half of her flock of 6 were slaughtered by Nappa, who then got killed by two men. These two men wound up traveling with Kirito and Angel, along with Maximum Ride, the leader of Angel's flock, and Ron Weasley, who was the person Max saved on the first day. The two men who killed Nappa worked together, the ninja named Zabuza Momochi creating a water dragon that swallowed him, then Kuzan froze it, so that Zabuza could slam his sword through and shatter it. Kuzan and Zabuza stayed the the two winged girls and their weak passengers, along with a young mage named Gray, and a man in a black costume, Batman.
But wait? If Gray was here with Kirito, and all these other people who were on Awul during flashbacks and the present, how did Gray get over to that other continent he was teleported away from? How did he get to Aebrith? That would be the fault of Bartholomew Kuma. Kuma the Tyrant showed up, malfunctioning from large amounts of damage to its body and head, and he slapped his Paw-Pad into several people. Those from the One Piece world knew that getting hit by Kuma would send you flying for three days straight, to distant parts of the world. Kuma hit the green haired swordsman who wandered out of the woods, Zoro, and sent him flying away from his crew, then hit Zabuza and Gray and sent them flying after him. All three of them landed on Aebrith, where Gray would stay until Timmy wished him back to Awul to help with Port Royal two years later. That day, Gray was just about to get in a fight with some of his new comrades on Aebrith too, but he had no idea what was happening to them now, or if they even survived that battle.
Anyway, back to Kirito on the sixth after arriving on Nexus (FD+6). Just like Gray, Zabuza, and Zoro, Kirito also got hit by one of Kuma's swipes before the cyborg was destroyed. At least Kuma didn't kill him like he killed Ron Weasley for throwing a rock at it. Kirito got sent flying to another area of Awul, where he opened his eyes to see his wife leaning down over his face three days later. Asuna giggled at his shocked reaction, and the two sixteen year olds embraced, so happy to finally see each other again. The two of them spent a small amount of time together, but as they were traveling alone looking for food and water, they split a fruit with weird shapes on it. Kirito tried it first for poison, but when Asuna took the second bite, she died. It turned out that Kirito had eaten a Devil Fruit, and no two people could ever have the same Devil Fruit. He wanted to die in that moment, screaming at the sky and releasing a shockwave up in the air that ripped the fruit tree in front of him out of the ground, the first sign of power he ever showed as he had come from a world of just normal people. As he's about to get crushed by the tree that comes back down, Naruto comes out of nowhere and slams a Rasengan into it. Naruto yells at him for giving up and being selfish, as his wife would not want him to die, and then agrees with Kirito when the other teen asks to be trained so he can protect his loved ones in the future. Naruto, Marco the Phoenix, and a lot of others in the new Hidden Leaf Village, Konoha, made Kirito feel like he was at home, or even better. He had lots of great friends, and then Konoha got destroyed one day, as Naruto turned insane, killing his father, his friends, his rival Konohamaru, and even Hinata, his fiancé. Kirito tried to run, but it did not work out well, he tried to fight, and that worked almost as terribly. Naruto seemed unstoppable, but Timmy Turner managed to stop him.
Naruto Uzumaki was Timmy Turner's best friend on Nexus. For months he was the only person Timmy truly thought of as a friend. He had saved Timmy and Wanda from a destroyed landscape after the fight with Madara. Naruto found Fairy World for his friend, and told Timmy where he could find it. The two of them stormed into Fairy World together, but found the place to be destroyed. The rainbow bridge, destroyed. All of the fairies, except for 5, killed. Timmy went on a rampage after seeing all the Fairies he knew dead, and he massacred the monsters who did it, finishing with ripping off Grimmjow, the leader's, head. That day he and Naruto promised that if they ever turned into monsters, they would kill the other, and soon after, Timmy had to fulfill his promise and killed him in Konoha. Naruto had built Konoha to be a safe haven for all in Nexus, and many people had found it to be a safe home. It rivaled the size of even the NEG, but Lelouch Lamperouge used his Geass, a type of hypnotic power, to turn Naruto against his own people. Naruto killed the majority of the population of Konoha, with only scattered survivors.
Lelouch wanted to become a member of the rising Underworld when he destroyed Konoha, and he was put at Lex Luthor's personal table after this accomplishment. An intelligent man, he is the one who starts the conflict that gets their newest member Annie to kill Syndrome, thus showing off her powers to the Underworld. Lelouch later meets his end at the hands of Sora, who along with Kirito, Goku, and Timmy, attack his Underworld base during the War against the Underworld. Lelouch had turned Goku against his friends, and Timmy was without Wanda as she was still weakened from using too much magic in Castle Oblivion. When Sora killed Lelouch however, Goku, Krillin (who had been captured over a year before), and all of the other brainwashed prisoners were released from Lelouch's spell. On the roof of Lelouch's base, a painter who could paint the future had drawn a mural covering the entire roof, that showed the island of Metropolis, falling. There were golden lights in the sky flying around the island, and the city below was on fire.
The Underworld were allied with the NEG, and this became more and more clear through the various Underworld bases attacked. Who were the members of the Underworld though? First there is the leader, Lex Luthor. An intelligent man, he has incredible intelligence and has managed to build up a criminal organization full of people stronger than himself. Luthor was an enemy of Superman's on his own world, and on this one he plotted to kill the Man of Steel. He fulfilled his wish.
A few days after the assault on Port Royal, and the battles of Castle Oblivion, the Jedi returned to Metropolis disturbed by what they heard occurred in Port Royal from Son Goku and Vegeta. Obi-Wan got Superman's help, and the Jedi along with Superman confronted Tetsuo Shima, Supreme Leader of the NEG. Unfortunately, Tetsuo had been planning to kill Superman with his Underworld allies, and their members were all in place armed with Kryptonite to weaken Superman. The Jedi tried to destroy the Kryptonite, but the combined forces of the Underworld and Tetsuo proved to be too much for them. The Jedi were slaughtered, Mace Windu by Tetsuo himself, who yelled at the man, "I AM THE NEG!" before killing him. Lex Luthor cut off Superman's head as the Kryptonian spoke of the Saiyans going to destroy them one day. Soon after, Tetsuo had all other Jedi in the city called up to the upper island, before slaughtering them all.
Other than Luthor and Lelouch, there were several other powerful members at the top of the Underworld. The leader of the Underworld base Kirito was a part of was named Akuma. Yes, some time after Konoha's destruction, Kirito wound up joining the Underworld, with no knowledge that the people he was joining were the very ones responsible for the destruction of Konoha. It was only when he attacked Lelouch's base with Goku and the others, the same day Goku took him away from Akuma's destroyed base, that he learned of Lelouch's involvement in the destruction of Konoha. His former base leader Akuma taught martial arts, and his men were pretty strong, but unable to hurt Son Goku. Goku fought the man who powered up into a form he called Oni, which made Goku power up himself into a Super Saiyan before finally defeating the master martial artist.
Akuma, Luthor, Lelouch. Then there is Blackbeard. The pirate was a Yonko, one of the four Pirate Emperors, on his own world. His power rivaled that of Shanks, perhaps even surpassed it. He was the one who Timmy Turner discovered sent the spies Count Dooku and Darth Maul to their first Anti-NEG meeting. He was also the one who Akainu was sent to in order to inform the Underworld of their mission to destroy the Super Saiyans, (which they failed at and only succeeded in making them very angry). Blackbeard was the one who first confronted Annie, and convinced her to join the Underworld under him. He is a smart tactician, having been shown to be gathering allies who are loyal to him instead of Luthor, as he plans to take over the world himself after they overthrow the NEG.
Annie. The young teenage girl with blonde hair was first seen in a flashback taking place months before the start of the story, transforming into a fifteen meter Titan. A giant muscly creature without any skin, the Titans ravaged humanity on their world, and she had the power to turn into one. She killed a Fishman named Arlong and his entire crew, while Blackbeard watched; he found her and had her join the Underworld. At the first meeting Blackbeard brought her to, on the day of the battle at Port Royal, Lelouch rose the question of where she would sit in the Underworld council. She walked up to Syndrome, a man only slightly older than her with spiky orange hair, who she promptly crushed and killed in front of the other Underworld leaders. She took his seat on the council intriguing and scaring many of the current members. She was also in the NEG council room when they killed the Jedi and Superman, and was seen with the major players of the Underworld on the night before the battle in Metropolis, getting ready for a lot of blood.
Other than Blackbeard, another man has been seen thinking about taking control for himself after the battle is over. Though man is not the right word to describe this alien creature. Cooler, one of the Arcosians, a race strong enough to take control of the universe it was from. He is afraid of the Super Saiyans, especially Son Goku who killed him on his own world, but Luthor assures his associates that they will not have to face any Saiyans during the battle the next day. When Lex Luthor cut off Superman's head, he threw it up in the air and it was Cooler who destroyed it. The purple lizard-like alien is considered the strongest member of the Underworld by the others in its ranks, and is sometimes seen thinking about killing them all on a whim.
A member of the Underworld less involved than the others is Orochimaru. He has escaped being discovered by the Saiyans and their allies through their invasions of Underworld bases, and managed to survive all the way up to the day before the invasion of Metropolis. A ninja with a snake-like appearance, his intentions have yet to be revealed, but through everything he has survived. Unlike the final member of the Underworld main council who has yet to be mentioned.
Slade Wilson. The Teen Titans worst enemy, they had heard rumors of the man being on this world causing trouble too. They searched Underworld bases for him, and in the first one they invaded they found many of his robotic soldiers. After Nightwing ripped off one of their masks, a screen behind it gave him his first good look at Slade for over two years. Later on in the War against the Underworld, Nightwing and his team arrive in a droid factory run by none other than Slade. With the Straw Hats help, they break through the droid factory, but it takes Vegeta blasting in to really make a difference in the battle. Vegeta confronts Slade, but first the Titans want a go at him. The Titans and their old enemy Slade are about to fight, when Vegeta kills him and then taunts the Teen Titans for being too weak, and telling them to get out of his sight. It was at Slade's base that a Marine Vice Admiral, Onigumo, was visiting to give Slade new orders from the Government, mainly Akainu. Unfortunately, this Marine was discovered by Vegeta, along with an incriminating map that led the fighters to believe there were Underworld members hiding in Metropolis.
Metropolis: the capital of the New Earth Government. The NEG leaders in charge were dwindling with the losses of Ansem and his dark leaders, Giovanni, Mace and the Jedi, and Superman. New blood was necessary in the council chambers, and Tetsuo brought in new faces that no one had seen before. He brought in four new members to replace fallen ones, all of them powerful demons like the Toguro Brothers and Mephisto, and even a powerful ex-Guardian named Krona. No one would challenge the boy's decisions though, as although he said the Jedi and Superman took each other out, there were rumors it was Tetsuo himself who executed them. Without any resistance, Tetsuo brings sketchy figures into the council room, and promotes the members who know about the Underworld alliance, mainly Ichimaru Gin.
Gin. A white haired, slanty eyed. mischievous Shinigami who took Ichigo Kurosaki's place as the only shinigami that Metropolis needs. His intentions are hidden, though he does not seem to fear Tetsuo like the others. He is always calm and collected, and feels free to speak his mind without caring who it will upset.
Ichigo Kurosaki. A replacement shinigami from his own world, he is one of the three founders of Metropolis, a rarely known fact. Ichigo is first scene in the flashback helping Mirai Trunks and Tetsuo defeat Broly on the First Day. In the present, he is a normal high school student, but not too long before the War against the Underworld, he is confronted at school by a younger boy wearing a power nullifier. The law in the NEG is that anyone too strong who is not a part of the Government forces have to wear power nullifiers, restraining their strength to prevent them from committing heinous crimes. This boy with spiky white hair tried to convince Ichigo that the world was not as safe as the false peace in Metropolis was leading everyone to believe. This kid's name was Killua.
Killua is seen confronting Ichigo again, the night before the upcoming assault on Metropolis. While the Underworld are planning an attack for the next day, a completely unrelated attack is happening on the same day. Certain people inside Metropolis, with Killua in the center of their group, have decided to try and turn off the power nullifiers, and at the same time free someone from prison named Eren. Eren's friends Armin, Levi, and his adoptive sister Mikasa visited him in the Metropolis prison where he is being mistreated, and they tell him to get ready for them to break him out of there. The three of Eren's friends, Killua, and many other upset people over the confiscation of their weapons, the power nullifiers they have to wear, and the unfair treatment of those put in prison are planning on taking down the powerful Government of their city. These rebels inside Metropolis gained the support of a Vice Admiral named Smoker.
Smoker originally came to a meeting on a whim, and almost gave them up to Akainu until he bumped into two Jedi going to the same meeting. This very same day, the Jedi he met and respected at that meeting, were reported to have rebelled against the Government, and all were killed. Smoker became furious. On the day before the attack, he shows up to plan with the other rebels, having made his choice. The man had the power of the Plume Plume Fruit, a Logia, the strongest of the Devil Fruit types. He believes he needs to follow his own form of justice, which is what he believes his old mentor, former Admiral Aokiji, Kuzan, would do.
Kuzan was a former Marine who also had the power of a Logia fruit, though his was a much stronger one than Smokers. He fought alongside Saiyans, and pirates, and many heroes as they destroyed hundreds of Underworld bases all over the continent. Kuzan first showed up with the Straw Hats in Port Royal, fighting the Teen Titans to see if they were worth inviting to their Anti-NEG meeting. In the past, he was a Marine Admiral but was defeated by Akainu in a fight and resigned from his post while receiving many devastating injuries. After arriving on Nexus, he saved Nami and Robin from Bartholomew Kuma and killed the monster after it had sent Kirito, Zabuza, Gray, and Zoro flying across the world. Kuzan becomes enraged when he hears about Akainu's involvement with the Underworld and gets ready to take him down.
Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Kuzan, Luffy, Natsu, Ben, and almost every other person fighting Underworld bases show up at one last one, but like many others they had been attacking recently, this one was empty. They all come up confused with what to do, then Gohan mentions that the enemies are probably hiding in Metropolis with their help of their suspected allies in the Government. Vegeta agrees, though he does not think his son from the future knows about this. However, he is upset at Future Trunks because when Krillin was freed from Lelouch's control, the bald human told his friends that they had all met Trunks in this world too much earlier on and had fought with him in those early months. Vegeta thinks his son somehow altered his memory so that when they met again in Port Royal it was like the first time they had met here. Suddenly, the Flash and Dash show up along with Oliver Queen (Green Arrow), who had been helping out Eren's friends, Killua, and Smoker with the rebellion inside Metropolis. Green Arrow tells the fighters against the Underworld that Tetsuo is planning on attacking Pao Town soon. Then, Ansem comes out of Riku for a little and admits that he, Giovanni, Akainu, Gin, and Tetsuo were all in league with the Underworld. Goku then decides they will attack Metropolis tomorrow and everyone agrees with him.
While Goku and his friends were all fighting the Underworld, Tetsuo was busy taking over more land north of the border with Rhodar. By the end of the War against the Underworld, Tetsuo has only Pao and one other group to worry about in the North. He waits one day for Mirai Trunks to go to sleep, and then leaves the safety of Metropolis, which has a barrier on the outside blocking out the sensing of powers. Tetsuo flies over to Sindria, the largest region of people who have not accepted NEG rule north of Rhodar. He is ambushed, but fights back and thoroughly crushes the King of Sindria Sinbad, along with his two closest advisors: Masrur and Ja'far. While Tetsuo does this though, Sinbad's generals were evacuating their citizens somewhere safe so that they would not have to give up their ways of life by joining Tetsuo's regime. Too many people in his country were ninjas, magicians, and martial artists who would have to give up their lifestyles under Tetsuo's reign. Tetsuo almost kills Sinbad and his men, but decides to let them go instead, having an internal battle as he tries to remember Trunks' teachings. Still, it takes Trunks showing up and yelling at his younger friend to finally get Tetsuo to stop his rampage. As Tetsuo flies away, he tells Trunks not to make the same mistake the Jedi made, and Mirai Trunks who is still in the dark of what really happenened starts to suspect his friend, and decides that he must be the one who stops him.
Tetsuo gets ready to attack Pao, while the fighters in Pao Town and their allies prepare to invade Metropolis. The rebels inside Metropolis are joined by two Sith Lords, Anakin Skywalker and his apprentice Stan, Darth Marsh. The two of them were infiltrating an Underworld base in order to find Medusa, supposedly a higher up in the Underworld ranks. Their superiors sent them to Metropolis however as they felt more threatened by the NEG than the Underworld, although they do mention that the Underworld are probably in Metropolis. Anakin goes by the name Darth Vader, and he and Stan are called back the night before the battle by their King, however they decide they can't leave these rebels who they've come to be friends with in the last week. They stay for the next day's battle, getting ready to go turn off the nullifiers and free Eren with their friends.
Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Kirito, Ben, Gwen, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Juvia, Laxus, Wendy, Aang, Nightwing, Batman, Flash, Raphael, Fairy Tail Wizards, Pao Town civilians, all looking for Lex Luthor, the man who attacked their village and killed their friends. Luffy, Kuzan, Ace, Timmy, Wanda, Dash, Mandy, Grim, Billy, Teen Titans, The Straw Hats, the Anti-NEG league, all finally heading to Metropolis to take down the New Earth Government they hate. Sora, Riku, and Kairi prepare to join the fight and help their friends fight the evil forces in the world. Luthor, Orochimaru, Cooler, Annie, and Blackbeard plan on overthrowing their NEG "allies" in the madness of the battle to come, and come out on top of the Government as the new leaders. Killua, Armin, Mikasa, Levi, Smoker, Leela, Fry, Bart Simpson, Stan Marsh, and Anakin Skywalker get ready to turn off the power nullifiers and free Eren Jaeger from prison. Akainu, Gin, Roy Mustang, the Covenant, Marines, Holy Knights, other NEG leaders, and Tetsuo, get ready to finish taking over Awul by taking down Pao Town. Mirai Trunks gets ready to confront his best friend Tetsuo and stop the NEG from falling further into the darkness.
The different factions of the NEG. The rebels inside the city. The Underworld. The Anti-NEG. Fighters against the Underworld. Pao Town. Everyone prepares to converge on one place. Who will come out on top?
