A Republic fleet of Venator-Class Star Destroyers hover over the planet of Christophsis, the debris of destroyed ships from both sides still floating all around.

Aboard The Resolute…

"So you're General Grievous? Huh, you sure are a lot shorter than I expected." Anakin comments as he and Obi-Wan stare at the locked up general, Ventress in her own cell to their right.

"Ah yes. This is indeed the first time you're properly meeting the general face to face. Anakin, this is Grievous. And general, this is Anakin Skywalker. I hope you two can get along nicely." Obi-Wan says in a joking manner.

"Foolish Jedi. This is but a small victory, and a temporary one if that. Do you really think you will be able to hold me for long?" Grievous questions.

"Yes, you are indeed quite troublesome I will admit, as well as highly valuable to the Separatists. They will most likely attempt a rescue at some point. Lucky for us, we don't need to hold you forever. We just need to keep you locked up long enough for us to win this war. And without you, as well as Ventress there to take part in it, we might be able to do just that rather quickly." Obi-Wan says.

With this both Kenobi and Anakin turn and begin walking away "So tell me Obi-Wan, how does it feel knowing that it wasn't even you or Skywalker, or any Jedi for that matter that captured us? Instead you had to rely on the power of complete strangers from other universes to even come this close to doing what you and many other Jedi have failed countless times to do." Ventress taunts from her cell, making the two Jedi stop.

Obi-Wan and Anakin both turn to her "So long as you were captured, that is all that matters. I could care less if it was even bounty hunters that somehow managed to capture both you and Grievous. With the both of you out of the war, we're one step closer to finally putting an end to it." is all Obi-Wan says as he and Anakin turn back forward and continue walking, leaving the Separatist general and Sith Assassin in the cell block.

"Speaking of our special guests, you have any plans for when we get to Coruscant regarding a number of them? Obviously Commander Shepard is going to try and appeal to the Senate for aid in the fight against the Reapers, but I would imagine he would only be allowed to bring a few of his team members along. You know, as security. His group is rather big after all, and I feel like having every single one of them going along with him might make a few Senators a bit… uncomfortable. If you know what I mean." Anakin says.

"Do not worry. I have already talked to Master Yoda about this. Should they choose to, any of Shepard's friends who do not accompany the Commander are welcome to the Jedi temple while the Senate talk occurs." Obi-Wan explains.

"And for those who don't?" Anakin asks.

"I have assigned Cody and Rex to watch over them. After all the city is massive and the last thing we, or the Commander want is any one of his team members getting lost… or in trouble." Obi-Wan says.

"I bet Rex was thrilled to hear he got stuck with what's basically babysitting duty." Anakin jokes.

The Resolute flies away from the rest of the Republic fleet orbiting Christophsis. Once some distance away the ship jumps into Hyperspace.

"Whoa~." Sora says in awe as he along with the rest of the team watch through the window as the ship travels through hyperspace.

Po, Laval, Eris, Natsu, Lucy, and Happy equally as awed as he was at the sight before them, while the others just looked on.

"Definitely a bit more flashy then a Relay Jump." Shepard comments.

"Probably safer than Slipspace." Chief adds in.

Behind them at the holotable, Ahsoka, Rex, Cody, and Admiral Yularen stood, looking over towards them when the blast doors opened up drawing their attention as Anakin and Obi-Wan entered the bridge.

"Are our guests enjoying themselves?" Anakin asks.

"Looks like it." Ahsoka says.

Turning back around Ahsoka sees Shepard and the others approach them "It's gonna be a while before we reach Coruscant. Until then, you're free to do whatever you want. So long as it's not causing trouble." Anakin says.

Natsu lets out a yawn as he stretches his arms up and then rests them behind his head "Don't suppose there's any place we can get some sleep around here?" he asks.

"We've prepared rooms for each and every one of you. Any who wish to go to them, may follow Admiral Yularen. Are there any other locations you wish to know about?" Obi-Wan asks.

"Where can we get some food? I'm starving." Sora asks.

"I'd like to see the ship's shooting range, if it has one." Chief says.

The TARDIS sat in the main hangar bay of the ship where several Clone engineers had been tasked with assisting the Doctor in repairing the ship; Tali, and EDI rejoining him to help in the process.

"That is a very interesting ship, I must say. A small appearance on the outside, but on the inside…"

"Bigger, yeah. He gets that a lot, so I've been told. And noticed." Shepard says, completing what Obi-Wan was going to say.

The two standing some distance away next to the wall as Shepard leaned back against it while Obi-Wan just stood with his arms crossed.

"It surely does take the saying "looks can be deceiving" to a whole other level. I still find it hard to believe that this is what you have been using to travel to different universes, or practically anywhere for that matter." Obi-Wan says.

"It's a lot more comfortable than you think." Shepard comments.

"I'm sure it is." Obi-Wan says.

A solemn expression then comes to his face as he looks to Shepard, "Commander Shepard, I really do wish to help you. After all, that is what we Jedi are supposed to be. Keepers of the Peace. And even though peace is already being disrupted because of this war, it will be torn even further if we do not do something about these Reapers." Obi-Wan says.

"Thank you Obi-Wan. I know how problematic politics can be. So even though it should look like the threat of the Reapers should be a main priority, not everyone will see it that way. I have a feeling this could go a number of ways. Some Senators will just not want to get involved because to them, my war isn't their problem, even though it should be. Others will not want to get involved because of your current war, seeing as how it could stretch your military forces too thin, allowing your enemy a chance to potentially gain some ground if they do decide to launch an attack. And with recent developments, I could see some, maybe even a lot more Senators now, wanting to launch a major offensive on the Separatist forces. With General Grievous being captured and all that. We may gain some support but… the chances of this alliance happening are looking very slim at the moment." Shepard says.

"Indeed they are. I want to end this war as much as anyone else. But what's the point of ending it if the peace will only last for so long until it is broken again by the Reapers coming to our universe? This weapon you spoke of is the only known thing capable of destroying the Reapers for good, and if you and your current forces fail, and the Reapers manage to destroy it. Then every universe, every life out there, will be in danger. Who knows if we will ever have another chance at this." Obi-Wan says.

"If the Reapers win, their numbers will only continue to grow. More and more until there is no army out there across the multiverse that will be able to match them. Life as we know it, will cease to exist." Shepard says.

"There's something my master once said, "there's always a bigger fish." And in this situation, the Reapers are the bigger fish, quite literally too since they are giant squids. The greater danger to us smaller fish. While the Separatists are a danger to us as well, they aren't as big of a threat as the Reapers. It would be a wise idea to always deal with the bigger fish first, before going after the more "smaller" fish you could say." Obi-Wan says.

"I agree. Every one of our personal enemies, from Cerberus, to your Separatists, to Troy's enemies. They're all a danger to our own respective universes. But the Reapers, they're a threat to all of them. If we don't deal with them first, even if we defeat our own enemies, will it truly be a victory? It's as you said, how long will that newfound peace last before the Reapers come and destroy everything it is you fought so hard for? Make every Jedi, and Clone sacrifice meaningless." Shepard says.

Obi-Wan nods his head acknowledging how right the Commander was on that "All we can do is hope that the Senate sees it that way." he says.

In the ship's shooting range, a few Clones, spread throughout the different shooting stations could be seen firing their blasters downrange. A few other Clones at the range either just chatting with their fellow soldier, gearing up to get some target practice themselves, or packing up after having done their fair share of practice for the day.

"DC-15A blaster rifle, standard issue weapon for a lot of Clones in the Grand Army of the Republic." Rex introduced as he handed the weapon to the Master Chief who took it in his hands as he began to examine it. "Depending on the power setting, it can fire 300 shots of plasma bolts at max, 500 shots on low. Uses replaceable tibanna gas cartridges for ammunition."

Cody was standing behind Rex as he watched the Spartan examine the blaster, once doing so the Master Chief stepped up to the shooting station in front of them and aimed down sight. A holographic target appeared several meters away from him as Chief fired almost instantaneously as it appeared, putting a plasma bolt dead center of its head as it disappeared. Another holo target popped up, a bit further away and slightly to the right; Chief turned and fired, putting another shot dead center of the head. Two targets simultaneously appeared, both of them at different distances, and on different sides; Chief snapped between them and in that instant fired off a single shot at each one. Both targets were hit dead center of their heads just milliseconds apart from one another. More holo targets continued to pop up, sometimes it was just one, few times in groups of two, even three, all of them though were met by deadly accurate shots from the Chief.

Both Rex and Cody watched with wide eyes and shock at what they were witnessing. Some of the other Clones in the room began to take notice as a few of them gathered behind Rex and Cody to watch, even the Clones at the shooting stations stopped firing their weapons and looked over as they saw what was happening. Chief fired one more time, landing another direct hit at the center of a target's head as it disappeared. No more targets popped up as Chief lowered the gun, turning around and holding the rifle out as Rex took it from him "Not bad." the Spartan comments.

"Not bad? I'm pretty sure you just put most of this ship to shame Master Chief. Even I'm not that good." Rex says.

"Yeah. I'd say the Shinies could learn a thing or two from you." Cody adds.

Chief looked at Rex and then down at his holsters "During the battle you seemed well versed in the use of those two sidearms of yours, Captain Rex."

Rex looks down at his two blaster pistols and pulls them out, "DC-17 hand blasters. May only carry 50 shots each but combined that's 100 shots to deal with the Clankers. Might not have the range compared to the 15A and 15S but they're pretty good, especially when dual-wielded. Has a lot of power to it, low recoil, and a high rate of fire. Want to try one out?" Rex asks, extending the left one to Chief.

Chief grabs the pistol and examines it for a few seconds, turning around as he aims down range and waits for a target to pop up. A holo target appears and Chief fires.

A cry of pain rings out as a male human New Republic soldier fires his DH-17 blaster pistol while being dragged back by a female Inquisition mage, both of his knees shot through by high-velocity slugs as blood pours out from the wounds.

Shepard's Universe…

UNSC Infinity…

Coalition troops fire upon the encroaching horde of Reaper Husks with arrows, crossbow bolts, magic blasts, fire, water, and earthbending, bullets, plasma, pulse beams, high-velocity slugs, and laser bolts. The Husks continue to push forward from the large dimensional wall as Cannibals, Marauders, Ravagers, Scions, and Praetorians, return fire.

This scene playing out on a holovid floating over the holotable on the bridge along with several others "This is Captain Lasky to all hands! Battle stations, this is not a drill! We have been boarded, I repeat, Reaper Husks are aboard the Infinity!" Lasky quickly announces over the intercoms.

"What's going on Roland, I need information, and I need it now!" Lasky says with urgency in his voice.

"Captain I've located five dimensional wall openings across the Infinity. The largest one is in Hangar Bay 11, we got another one in the Forest Park atrium on Deck 14, one in a hallway in Sector 37 of Deck 74, one on a causeway in Sector 7 of Deck 3, and the final one is located on a highway in Sector 51 of Deck 90." Roland quickly reports.

Lasky plants his hands on the table and looks at the holovids, watching as Coalition troops are slowly pushed back by the Husks at the causeway and highway sections, while the Husks in the hallway of Deck 74 and the Forest Park atrium seem to have either dealt with or forced back the defenders in those areas already. Allowing them to begin spreading throughout the ship from those two locations; all the while the fight in Hangar Bay 11 continues with things not looking good for the defenders there.

"What the hell's going on? It doesn't make any sense the Doctor said those portals can only be made if the person making them had been to that exact location before." Lasky questions.

"They may look the same Captain, but I think these "Dimensional Walls" are different from what Kamen Rider Decade uses. Look at this." Roland says as he changes a few of the monitors to show different angles of the locations where the dimensional walls were open.

Lasky looks at them, and takes notice that on both sides of the dimensional walls were mechanical towers that were most definitely not at any of these locations before; nor did they look like anything either of the Coalition factions had or were working on.

"Where did those towers come from?" Lasky asks Roland.

"No idea sir. I started getting reports of them appearing just before the attack. Phantoms must have planted them before and left them cloaked. The leader must have had a dead man's switch that de-cloaked and activated them when she died. I don't think these are the normal type of dimensional walls Captain. They're man made. Being generated by those towers at those locations." Roland says.

Lasky straightens himself as he puts his hands to his hips, "So we just need to get to these locations, destroy those towers and the attack should stop?" Lasky questions.

"Most likely sir. One problem with that though, we now have a lot of Husks between our forces, and these locations." Roland says.

An Aman Elven archer is shot causing him to cry out as he goes down. Coalition soldiers in the hangar bay continue firing on the Husks as one Husk is shot by a couple of bullets causing it to drop, while a Scion is hit multiple times by a number of projectiles before finally dropping dead. A Ravager moves forward as it fires its twin cannons, the first shots missing and impacting into the far wall while the second burst impacts in front of a Providence and UNIT soldier, knocking them back as they crash through several stacked crates knocking them over.

Palmer finishes reloading her dual M6H2 magnums as she resumes firing them, Lennox to her right taking cover behind a UNSC crate as he fires his Remington ACR in short bursts, with a Gondor warrior to her left as he blocks a charging Husk's claw swing with his shield before countering with an upwards slash. Looking down his EOTech holographic weapon sight, Lennox fires his ACR taking down a Cannibal, followed by another Cannibal and a charging Abomination before finding his magazine empty as he ducks behind the weapons crate and begins reloading his gun.

"Commander Palmer! As long as that portal remains open these Husks are going to just keep coming! And we don't have the weapons to deal with all of these Brutes! We need to retreat and regroup!" Lennox shouts as he finishes reloading and pops back up, resuming his fire on the Reaper troops.

Palmer fires another bullet taking out a Marauder, she then grits her teeth in anger "Dammit! Everyone, out of the hangar now! Roland, once all friendlies are out I need you to seal all the doors to this hangar bay! And try and get us some troops with heavy weapons down here so we can deal with these heavy units!"

A number of Coalition soldiers are already turning and running towards the exits as Lennox gets up while still hunched over a little "You heard the Commander, retreat! Everyone out! Go, go!" he shouts. Walking backwards as he raises his gun and continues firing at the Husks now on Semi-Auto.

Taking cover beside a Pelican dropship; a US Army soldier who is crouched on his left knee, along with a UNSC Marine standing behind him, fire off a few more rounds from their respective M16A4 and BR85N Battle Rifle. Both of them then turn as the US Army soldier gets up and joins the Marine as they begin to retreat. A Raven soldier fires his pulse blaster along with a crouched Asari firing her M-8 Avenger, several other soldiers providing cover fire as their comrades retreat around them, a few of whom are carrying wounded and even the deceased. A soldier of Rohan uses himself as a human crutch to help carry an injured Abednedo New Republic soldier to safety, a Krogan provides covering fire with his Graal Spike Thrower shotgun while moving back alongside a Galactic Ranger that drags a dead Firebender away. While running a Kig-Yar Minor is shot in the back and falls to the ground, seeing this a Batarian soldier slides to a stop and quickly rushes over, grabbing the Kig-Yar's hands as he began dragging him to safety.

The Gondor soldier beside Palmer uses his shield to protect an injured female Dwarven soldier as she is picked up by a Sangheili Major and thrown over his shoulder, the Sangheili turning around and firing his Type-54D Plasma Pistol a few times before turning back and rushing towards the exit. Two Inquisition and a College mage, along with a Systems Alliance Marine, and two Asari put up magical and biotic barriers around the exit to block incoming slugs as Coalition troops run through the barriers to safety. A few soldiers around the barriers as they continue firing at the Husks to protect the others. Palmer and Lennox continue backing up alongside the Gondorian as they were still providing covering fire for their retreating troops; shooting down any Husks, especially the charging ones, that got too close to them. Palmer looked around to see the rest of the troops throughout the hangar retreating through the other doors as one by one they began to close, until it was eventually only their door that remained open. She looked over her shoulder to see the majority of the troops already on the other side, it was just her, Lennox, and a few others that now remained.

"Everyone through that door, now!" Palmer orders.

The rest of the soldiers turned and made a break for the exit, the Gondorian turned as well only to receive a high-velocity slug through his right leg, causing him to fall to the ground with a cry of pain. Seeing this Palmer quickly magnetized her left pistol and grabbed his left arm, dragging him back as she continued firing her right M6H2 magnum along with Lennox firing his ACR; the two eventually passing through the protective barriers as Lennox turned and ran through the doorway with Palmer holstering her other pistol and picking up the injured Gondor soldier to quickly carry him to the other side. At which point both the mages and biotics lowered their respective barriers and dashed through the doorway allowing Roland to finally seal the door shut before the Husks could reach it.

"Get the wounded and dead out of here!" Palmer shouts while handing the injured Gondorian to a Turian soldier. "Everyone else, take up positions! We're not done yet!" Palmer adds as a UNSC Marine hands her a M395B DMR and her helmet which she proceeds to put on.

As soon as she said that a resounding pound came from the door creating a very large dent in it as Palmer, Lennox, and everyone else raised their weapons and looked towards it.

"So much for a breather. EVERYONE BACK!" Lennox yelled as he, Palmer, and many of the soldiers immediately turned and started running further down the hallway.

A few seconds later the second hit came knocking the doors right off, sending them a few feet down the corridor as Lennox, Palmer, and the Coalition soldiers all turned back and immediately started to fire on the now destroyed doorway. Taking down a number of the lesser Husks in a few seconds while two Brutes move through the doorway and begin making their way towards the Coalition forces, shrugging many of the impacting shots off due to their thick armor and tough resilience. The two Brutes also acting as giant shields as the lesser Husks move out from behind them to engage the Coalition troops.

"Hold the line! Hold the line!" Palmer continues to shout while firing her DMR as the US Army soldier beside her is shot in the head, followed by a female Quarian soldier a few feet behind her to her right.

"Attention, enemy forces have boarded the Infinity. All hands, to your battle stations. This is not a drill. All hands, to your battle stations." the Infinity's Voice System announces over the intercoms.

The alarms continued to blare as throughout the Infinity unarmed crewmembers ran to safety, while soldiers who were already geared up ran towards the action wherever it was they were needed.

"Everyone up! Up! Up! Up! Let's go! Let's go, this is not a drill ladies! On your feet!" a male Systems Alliance Marine officer shouts as the various soldiers in the barracks quickly get on their feet and run to their armory.

Soldiers in one of the mess halls abandon their food without a second thought as they pile out through the doors to get to their respective armories. The soldiers who weren't ready geared up for combat as quickly as they could, as they got into their respective armor or combat gear, grabbed their weapons and loaded up whatever else they would need to repel the attackers; from ammunition, to explosives for the 21st century and futuristic soldiers, to magic staffs, shields, arrow quivers, and various other combat items depending on the soldier.

"Attention, all hands, man your battle stations. This is not a drill."

A lone figure calmly walks down a hallway as soldiers and crew rush by all around him, that person turning out to be Aragorn II Elessar as he opened his eyes. Reaching to his side as he unsheathed his sword, Andúril.

"It's Morphin' Time!"

Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, Pink, and Green lights flash out for a second; a door opens up revealing the six Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Jason and Tommy at the middle with Billy and Trini beside Jason, and Zack, and Kimberly beside Tommy. The six Rangers walking forward calmly, ready for a fight.

Running down another hallway alongside Coalition soldiers were the Ninjas from Ninjago, Lloyd, Kai, Nya, Jay, Cole, and Zane. Their hoods already covering their faces, with PIXAL in her Samurai X armor as they also looked ready for battle.

Monkey D. Luffy slams his left fist into his right hand, a large grin on his face as standing behind him was Avatar Aang wielding his staff, Ben Tennyson with his arms crossed, Rex Salazar with his hands to his hips, and Edward Elric.

"About damn time we got some action around here. Now why don't you boys in your silly little outfits sit back, and let me and my Chargers show you how it's done." Iron Bull says, his greataxe held over his shoulder with his Chargers right behind him.

"And let you have all the fun? Not a chance. Besides, these "silly little outfits" can do a lot more damage than that giant axe of yours can. So why don't you just sit back and watch how we handle these Husks." Kamen Rider Double, more specifically Shotaro Hidari speaks.

As he, Iron Bull along with his Chargers, Iron Fist, Hawk, Dove, and the Sun Vulcans walk down another hallway.

"Flame, Please: Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi-Hi!"

Haruto Soma completes his transformation into Kamen Rider Wizard "Now then, it appears it's showtime." he says while raising his left hand.

Standing around him was Gray Fullbuster, Dorian Pavus, Bethany Hawke, Katara, Hermione Granger, Etrigan the Demon, and the Mystic Force Rangers.


The Resolute exits hyperspace and flies towards the capital of the Galactic Republic, the city-covered planet Coruscant; where the dimly lit orange lights of the entire city world could still be seen far from space. After its descent through the planet's atmosphere, the Republic cruiser makes its landing at the Republic Base's airfield.

In the primary hangar bay of the ship, Shepard and his team gather with Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Rex, and Cody, "Before we take our leave for the Senate Office Building where we're to meet with the Supreme Chancellor. Commander, I must ask that you disarm yourself of all your weapons; after all as of now you are a delegate and, well delegates tend to mostly be unarmed for the most part. Most especially here on Coruscant. As for the rest of your team they can at the most carry a sidearm with them. After all, we don't want to cause any sort of panic." Obi-Wan says.

"Thought as much, so I already went ahead and disarmed myself." Shepard says, turning his body around to show he had no weapons attached to his armor, not even a pistol.

The Commander turns back around, "I would have dressed for the occasion, but I didn't pack any of my fancy suits. Since I never thought I'd be using them during this mission." Shepard says.

"Quite understandable. Also, while we're taking your entire team to meet with the Chancellor as he's quite interested in meeting all of you. When the Senate Session starts, you're only going to be allowed a small team to act as your "security personnel". Two people at most. Everyone else will have to go somewhere else unfortunately." Anakin explains.

"But do not worry, we have already talked to our Grand Master, and he is allowing any who wish, a stay at the Jedi Temple while the Senate talks go on. Ahsoka will take you there after we meet with the Chancellor. But if you wish to explore the city instead, Captain Rex, and Commander Cody will take care of you then." Obi-Wan says gesturing to the three.

"Sounds pretty good. I've already decided on my security detail, Master Chief, and Troy will be the ones to accompany me to the Senate meeting. Everyone else, you're free to do whatever you feel like." Shepard says looking at the rest of the group.

"Does this Jedi Temple have a library by chance?" Liara asks.

"The Jedi Archives, you could say it's a massive library of sorts. Contains all sorts of knowledge from historical records dating back thousands of years, to maps of the entire galaxy, journals of various studies; you name it and we probably have it." Ahsoka answers.

"That sounds quite fascinating. I definitely know where I'm going now." Liara excitedly says.

"I'll say, count me in!" Lucy also says in excitement.

"This place sounds cool; I wouldn't mind checking it out." Sora says.

"A part of me is intrigued in learning a bit more about you Jedi. Perhaps I'll check this Jedi Temple out as well while we're here." Tigress says.

"I on the other hand managed to catch a view of the city when we were coming down. And what I saw made me instantly want to go out and explore this place if I were given the chance to. And would you look at that, I have a chance to." Garrus says.

"Hell yeah, count me in as well." Wrex says.

"Why stick to one place when I could explore an entire city? No offense I'm sure this Jedi Tempe is quite something but we're talking about a city full of a lot of unknown things to me. Color me intrigued." Ashley says.

"I'm down for a bit of exploring." James says.

"As am I." Javik says.

"I wonder what alien fish tastes like. Think we can find and try some?" Happy asks looking at Natsu.

"Yeah! I'm down for that!" Natsu excitedly says with raised fists.

"Count me in on that!" Po excitedly adds in agreement walking over to them.

"Me four!" Laval also says joining them.

"Me five!" Eris says.

"There's probably plenty more excitement to be found in the city compared to this temple." Marvelous says.

"Perhaps for once I can actually explore and get some nice pictures with my camera." Tsukasa says, taking out his camera.

"EDI and I will most likely come back here after the meeting with this Chancellor. After all, the Doctor still needs our help repairing the TARDIS. And if that's the case, could anyone who's going out into the city kindly take some pictures for us since I'm going to be missing out on all the fun?" Tali asks.

"That would be most kind. As I would like to see the sights of this planet as well but will be unable to if we are to get the TARDIS repaired quickly enough for us to return to our universe." EDI says.

"Looks like we get the fun job Chief." Troy says in a joking tone with a smirk, as he looks up at the Spartan who looks down at him.

"Right." Chief says as he then looks back forward ""Fun"." he then adds with a slight hint of disdain in his voice. One could just sense that he probably rolled his eyes just now behind his helmet.

"What's wrong Chief, don't like politics?" Shepard asks humorously.

"I'm a soldier, Shepard. What do you think?" Chief says.

"Hey I'm a soldier too. But you still see me doing a lot of talking, and getting involved in politics. I wasn't trained for that kind of stuff, yet here I am. Though I will admit, it's helped me a whole lot so I guess being a sort of half soldier, half politician isn't all too bad. Relax, I'm the one who's going to be doing all the talking. You just need to stand there and look all menacingly to scare off anyone who wants to cause trouble." Shepard says.

"Shouldn't be too hard. He does that naturally." Sora says in a joking manner.

At this comment the rest of Shepard's team, save for the more recent members, turn their heads away and pretend like they didn't hear that. Garrus scratching his left mandible, James the back of his neck, and Po was whistling with his hands behind his back while looking up. The next thing Sora felt was a gauntleted left hand falling onto his head, before suddenly starting to squeeze tightly causing his eyes to widen in pain as he repeatedly began screaming "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!..."

The Jedi and Clones just looked on, Ahsoka and Anakin exchanging rather confused glances with one another. Chief ever so slightly increased the strength of his grip, of course making sure not to go too overboard, while Shepard just ignored this entirely as he shook his head and facepalmed.

The two groups boarded an LAAT/i gunship as it took off from the hangar. Flying out of the hangar's passage, the gunship gains some altitude until it is soaring high through the skies of Galactic City. Onboard everyone holds onto the handles dangling above them as the heroes from the other universes take in the sight of the sprawling city all around them in awe; the sight of Galactic City even surprising Shepard and his team.

"Whoa~." Laval says.

"Amazing!" Lucy adds.

"Out of all the places we've been. I think it's safe to say this one takes the cake." Po says.

"I'll say." Tigress agrees.

"Now this is a city." Garrus says with wide eyes.

"Looks like nothing but a city. I'm seeing nothing but buildings for miles and miles." James adds.

"It reminds me greatly of Illium. But tell me, are there any natural parts of this world left untouched?" Liara asks looking over at Obi-Wan.

"Very few I'm afraid. Thousands of years of development has destroyed all of this world's ancient mountains and seas. They call Coruscant a city-planet for a reason. You will find very little that remains of this world's natural state on any of the 5,127 levels." Obi-Wan says.

Shepard's head perks up as he looks at the Jedi Master "I'm sorry, 5,127 levels? 5,127 levels of what?" he asks.

"Of other cities. Except for Levels 1-4 which are uninhabitable. So in a way 5,123 levels instead." Anakin casually explained.

"EH~?!" Natsu and Happy cry out in absolute shock with widened eyes.

Even Marvelous and Tsukasa went wide-eyed at this in shock.

"Wait! You're telling me that this entire planet is just one giant hotel basically? But instead of the different floors having a bunch of different rooms, they all have different cities instead?!" Sora questions.

"Well, that's actually one way of putting it, yeah." Anakin says with a shrug.

"5,000 different levels? How is that even possible?" Tali questions.

"And what, Level 1 is basically the level closest to this planet's core? I… I don't even know where to begin asking questions. Tali's right how is this even possible." Ashley says completely flabbergasted just like everyone else.

"Not even my people were capable of such construction feats. To make an entire planet like this…" Javik says as he looks down.

"It's basically at this point a man-made planet. If barely anything natural of it remains." Troy says.

"Another way you can describe Coruscant basically." Anakin says.

Avoiding all of the skylanes the gunship flies towards a massive, dome-shaped building off in the distance. Upon getting closer the team could make out a number of landing bays and platforms near the top where airspeeders, airbuses, and freighters take off and land from many of them. The LAAT/i flies towards one empty landing platform as it turns sideways and begins to descend, all the while below them, a small group of people were approaching. One of them, an elderly human male with short white hair, wearing a long dark red robe and a long light red vest, the appearance giving off the sense of someone of great importance. Beside him, a male alien with light blue skin and four very long horns, two protruding out the top of his bald head, and two coming out from the "fleshy tentacles" that came from the back side of his head and wrapped down over his shoulders and ended in them. Behind them were four guards in blue armor that were somewhat similar to the Clones save for their helmet designs, all four of the guards wielded DC-15A blaster rifles which had wooden stocks instead.

The gunship touches down as the Jedi, Clones, and Heroes disembark, both groups coming to a stop a few feet from each other.

"Chancellor Palpatine." Anakin greets with a nod of his head.

"Welcome back, Master Skywalker, Master Kenobi, and Padawan Tano." Supreme Chancellor Palpatine greets back as he then looks at Shepard.

"So I take it you are these "heroes" that Master's Skywalker and Kenobi informed me about? My word, you are quite the interesting group I must say." Palpatine says as he eyes his way through the rest of the group.

Shepard steps forward and raises his right hand "I'm Commander Shepard." Shepard introduces himself.

Palpatine grabs Shepard's hand with both of his as he lightly shakes it "Greetings, Commander Shepard. I am Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, of the Galactic Republic." Palpatine says releasing his hand and taking a step back.

"And who might the rest of your comrades be?" he then asks.

Shepard gestures to Ashley "This is Ashley Williams, James Vega, Liara T'Soni, Garrus Vakarian, Tali'Zorah, Javik, our AI EDI, Master Chief, Po, Tigress, Tsukasa Kadoya, Captain Marvelous, Troy Burrows, Laval, Eris, Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Happy, and Sora." he finishes after gesturing to each one of them. Turning back to face the chancellor.

"It is a pleasure to meet all of you. Allow me to personally, welcome each and every one of you to the capital of the Galactic Republic, Coruscant. Now Commander from what I've been informed of, we do indeed have some pressing matters to attend to. Surely you've been told already that only a few of your comrades will be able to join you when we go meet with the rest of the Republic Senate?" Palpatine asks.

"I've already been informed, Chancellor. Master Chief, and Troy Burrows here will be acting as my security detail. While the rest of my team will be going on a bit of a tour of Coruscant. Some of them to the Jedi Temple, others will go exploring the city. With some of General Skywalker and Kenobi's men watching over them." Shepard says.

"I see. In that case, I do hope the rest of your friends enjoy their little exploration of Coruscant during their stay here. No matter how short it may be. I only ask that they don't cause any trouble of course, as that wouldn't look very good for you now would it?" Palpatine says.

"Of course Chancellor. No need to worry, my team here knows how to handle themselves professionally. I can assure you nothing bad will happen." Shepard says.

Behind him, Tigress and Lucy look at the back of Shepard with deadpan expressions "That's a lie and you know it Commander…" they both think simultaneously as they look to their right. To see Po picking his left nostril while Natsu picks his right ear with his pinky, Po with a rather dumb look on his face while Natsu just had a blank expression.

Lucy lets out a sigh as she closes her eyes and hunches over "Now I don't know if I should go to the Jedi Temple or stick around with Natsu to make sure he doesn't get into trouble."

"The worse thing I can imagine Po doing is buying more food than he can pay for." Tigress says with her arms crossed and eyes closed. She opens her eyes and looks at Lucy "You on the other hand, have to worry about your friend leveling buildings with his fire magic if something does happen."

"Don't remind me." Lucy says.

Meanwhile, the Master Chief just stared at the Supreme Chancellor. No one could see it, but behind the Chief's helmet was a rageful glare as he looked at Palpatine. The Chancellor continued talking to Shepard; his face, tone, and body language showing a kind-hearted man who looked and sounded like everything he did was for the greater good. But Chief could see right through his act. Especially since he knew who he really was beneath it all. Not only that, he could just sense that there was something off about him. And it was really, really bad.

If Chief had it his way, he would've shot Palpatine right between the eyes the second he laid eyes on him. And then put two more rounds into his skull to make sure he was truly dead. This man before him was pure evil. If what he knew of Luke's Universe, of his universe's history was true, then this man would cause the deaths of many, many innocent lives. The deaths of many good people. And put his galaxy through a terrible period of time. Someone like that needed to be taken down without thought. If only it were that simple though...

Along one of the causeways of the Infinity, Coalition troops engaged the Reaper Husks. The Husks slowly pushing towards them while the Coalition soldiers continued to try and hold the line; a US Humvee rolled down the upper ramp, coming to a stop at the bottom as the gunner on the M2HB Browning .50 cal machine gun pulled back on the bolt and opened fire. The powerful .50 BMG rounds tearing through many Husks like swiss cheese as even two Banshee's and several Praetorians found themselves cut down like normal Husks.

Back up on the bridge, "How are things looking Roland?" Lasky asks in a concerned tone as he continues watching the battle unfold across the ship.

"Husks are still pressing hard on all fronts. We're holding in a few areas, but our troops are still getting pushed back everywhere else. All the while, more and more of them are still coming through those portals." Roland reports, the holovids monitoring the dimensional walls showing that more Husks were still coming through them.

"Dammit." Lasky says. The situation was not looking good so far.

The Captain then straightens himself as he puts his right hand to his chin and left hand beneath his elbow, "Do we have troops set up around the hangar with our universal portals?" he asks Roland.

"I've moved several platoons into defensive positions around that specific hangar bay, Captain. I've also sealed all entrances and have the personnel inside handling any new arrivals." Roland reports.

Lasky moves his hands behind his back, "We can't have these things reaching any of those portals. All of them lead to our allies' bases back in their home universe. If they reach them, it's all over."

"I have a feeling I'm not going to like it, but it needs to be asked. What's our contingency plan, Captain? What happens if we can't push the Husks back and we're unable to destroy those portals?" Roland asks.

Lasky doesn't speak as he looks down, "Send a message to Admiral Hackett. Tell him what's going on, and tell him, if we're unable to contain the situation. He has permission for all ships within the fleet to open fire on and destroy the Infinity."

In one of the hallways of the ship a small platoon of Coalition soldiers fire at the approaching horde of Husks; at the front of the soldiers were a Gondor, Ferelden, and Orlesian soldier using their shields to block the incoming high-velocity slugs. A young, male light-brown skinned US Marine, taking cover behind a protruding part of the wall, aims around the corner with his M4A1 Carbine and fires a few shots taking down a normal Husk. A Marauder looks down to see this, looking back at the soldiers and then ducking to its right as it gets up and moves forward a few feet, crouching and firing a few shots from its Phaeston rifle. One of the shots managing to hit the Orlesian soldier right in the head, killing him instantly as he falls backwards dead. The Ferelden soldier looks at this in horror when he too receives a slug through the head causing him to drop as well.

Seeing this a Turian soldier stops firing and looks down at the two dead soldiers before turning to look behind him at the others "Fall back! Fall back!" he begins shouting.

The Gondor soldier continues providing whatever cover he can as he moves backwards, all the while the majority of the troops turn and start running while a few remain to provide covering fire. The US Marine continues firing his gun alongside an alien Plumber agent when suddenly the agent is hit multiple times by Reaper fire killing him. Out of terror the US Marine pulls himself back behind the wall, pushing himself up against the corner as far as he could as the rest of the Coalition soldiers retreated from the hallway. None of them aware of the marine they had just left behind.

Back on the causeway, a Batarian is shot dead on the upper walkway. At the bottom left plateau a male Quarian marine is shot down, followed a few seconds later by a female Providence agent, and then a male Inquisition archer. An earthbender is shot at the upper right plateau. The gunner of the Humvee continues firing the .50 cal at the Reaper troops; yet no matter how many Husks he shot down, more of them just appeared to take the fallens places. Just then a Praetorian hovered into view, the giant Husk coming to a stop as it aimed its twin particle cannons right at the Humvee.

The male UNSC Marine taking cover behind the driver door saw this as his eyes went wide "MOVE!" he yells while dashing away.

The gunner saw the Praetorian but it was too late. The Praetorian fired its cannons as the shots impacted directly into the front of the Humvee, causing it to explode and backflip into the air as it crashed to the ground landing on its top.

"There are too many! We must fall back!" a Salarian near the front shouts.

A female SHIELD agent is shot as she goes down, a male Systems Alliance marine rushing to her side and dropping beside her to make sure she was alright as he then looked around "Grab the wounded! Retreat! Fall back!" he began yelling.

The young Marine in the hallway breathes fast and heavily; his eyes wide with fear as he hears the growling sounds of the multiple Reaper Husks' approaching his position. Quickly he covers his mouth to quiet himself, hoping that they would all just pass him without noticing him. The Husks began to move past him, the Marine just watching as they all walked by, unaware of his presence.

Just then a Cannibal appears as it begins walking by just a few inches from him, the Husk looking like it was also about to pass by without noticing the marine when suddenly it stopped. The Cannibal slowly turned its head until it was looking down right at the marine's face, the young man's eyes widening in complete horror at seeing this. Quickly the marine raises his gun as he unloads into the creature, driving it back into a normal Husk as the 5.56x44mm NATO rounds tear through both of them, killing both Husks as they drop dead. At this all the Husks turn towards the marine as he gets on his feet, raising his gun and pulling the trigger to fire more, only to instead get the infamous clicking sound indicating his magazine was empty. His eyes widen once more as he looks down at his gun and then back at the Husks.

One of the Husks roars at him "Shit." he says.

All of a sudden a dagger is embedded in the side of the Husks head, killing it. All the Husks turn back to the direction where the soldiers retreated, which is also where the dagger just came from.

"This doesn't seem quite fair now does it. Allow us to even the odds." Maxwell Trevelyan says, Cassandra Pentaghast, and Varric Tethras on either side of him.

The Husks all let out angered roars at the trio as the normal Husks and Abominations begin charging them.

Maxwell and Cassandra ready their swords and shields, "Let the fun begin." Varric says as he takes aim with his crossbow Bianca.

Suddenly something fast flies right past the three, next thing they know are a number of Husks being sent flying, courtesy of one Erza Scarlett in her Heaven's Wheel Armor.

"Blumenblatt!" she yells as she slashes her way through a number of Husks with her two swords in hand; followed by a number of floating requipped swords flying in from behind her as they pierce many more Husks taking them out as they screech in pain.

All the Husks around Erza drop to the ground as she stands up and requips back into her normal armor, turning to look at the marine, "Are you alright soldier?" she asks while stepping towards and extending a helping hand to him.

The marine is slightly taken aback by what he had just seen but soon regains his composure as he nods his head "Y-Yeah. Thank you." he says. Grabbing Erza's hand as he is pulled back onto his feet.

"Or we can let Redhead over there take care of those Husks for us in a rather flashy manner." Varric comments.

"I like her." Cassandra says in a humored tone while looking at Maxwell.

Hearing multiple footsteps from behind Maxwell and the others turn to see as another platoon of Coalition soldiers, along with many others from the previous platoon appear. The roars of many more Husks coming from down the hallway attract everyone's attention.

"We're not done yet. Form up! Shield Wall, Formation 1!" Maxwell orders as he raises his sword "Shields at the front. Archers behind, Guns at the rear!"

Quickly the two platoons move into position. Those with swords, spears, and any other close range weapons, especially shields move to the front; archers getting behind them with any soldiers using guns at the back of them all. Erza and the marine move back to regroup. Erza joining between Maxwell and Cassandra, while the US Marine is allowed through by an Inquisition and Rohan soldier as he joins the other gunners in the back. Erza, Cassandra, the other swordsmen and those with any other type of close range combat weapon, hold their weapons forward with shields up; while Varric, who was still at the front, and the archers, consisting of both bows and crossbowmen, ready their arrows. Those with crossbows in front of the bowmen as the crossbowmen aim forward between the shieldsmen, while the bowmen raise their bows slightly upwards.

The heroes and Coalition soldiers wait, the sounds of the Husk getting closer as they wait for them to turn the two corners. After several more seconds, a large number of regular Husks and Abominations come charging around both corners "Archers, volley!" Maxwell yells as he brings his sword down.

This signaling the bowmen and crossbowmen to release their arrows as they fly right into the Reaper troops taking a number of them out.

"CHARGE!" Erza yells as she and Maxwell begin charging towards the Husks.

With resounding battle cries from all the Gondor, Rohan, Inquisition, and Fire Nation Nonbending soldiers, the close range combatants charge forward, all save for Cassandra, as the two Heroes and small number of Coalition soldiers engage the Husks up close. The few number of spearmen driving their spears into the Husks as they collide with Maxwell cutting down one Husk while Erza leaps forward and cuts through three of them with her sword. One Inquisition soldier cuts down another Husk with his longsword, a Gondor and Nonbending Fire Nation soldier thrust both of their swords into another Husk as they push it back, while a soldier of Rohan stabs another Husk with his spear, lifting it a few inches up before slamming the Husk onto the ground. A heavy Inquisition soldier slams his sledgehammer maul onto the head of a downed Husk smashing it to bits.

Two Fire Nation, a female Inquisition, and a Rohan soldier flee in terror from two charging Abominations. The two Husks glowing and emitting flames as they prepared to explode when suddenly Erza jumped in from the side, in her Robe of Yūen armor, and cut off both heads of the Husks with her Bisentō. The heads rolling across the floor as the bodies dropped to the ground, both the red glowing, and flames dying down after a few seconds.

Erza turned to the soldiers who had stopped and looked at her "Cut off the heads of the red ones and they won't explode." she tells them.

A few Husks do manage to make their way through the fighting as they charge towards the soldiers in the rear. Cassandra intercepting two of them as she cuts them down with her Inquisition Longsword. Varric fires his crossbow shooting an Abomination in the head as it drops, a female Inquisition scout fires her crossbow shooting another Husk down. As a Gondor and Nonbending Fire Nation soldier ready another arrow on their bows, a black male SHIELD agent moves between them and fires his laser rifle taking out another Abomination.

Raising his March of the Everlasting shield up while crouching, Maxwell blocked an attack from a Husk as it swung both of its claws down on him. Getting up, Maxwell used the momentum to push the Husk back as it stumbled into two others, allowing the Inquisitor to charge forward as he drove his Caliban sword through all three taking them out as he tossed their dead bodies aside. Looking behind Maxwell sees as the rest of the Husks are finished off by the others, Erza in her Black Wing armor as she stabs a Husk on the ground, a soldier of Rohan and heavy Inquisition soldier tap a Husk on the ground with their feet to make sure it is truly dead, while a female Inquisition scout cuts off the head of a dead Abomination to make sure it doesn't explode.

Hearing the roar of another Husk, the Inquisitor turns around to see as another regular one runs out from the left hallway sliding to a stop at the middle of the intersection. The Husk looks at him and roars once more before rushing towards him, just as more Husks come out from the other two hallways, this time with Cannibals and Marauders amongst them.

"Incoming!" Maxwell yells with widened eyes as Erza turns around to see this.

Maxwell turns and starts running to escape the Husks, "Formation 2! Archers, gunners, switch positions!" Cassandra orders as the archers move back with several of the soldiers utilizing guns taking their positions.

The Cannibals and Marauders open fire, Maxwell quickly raising his shield behind him to block some of the incoming shots.

"Shields up!" Erza yells while requipping into her Adamantine Armor.

Raising her two bladed shields and putting them together as some of the Gondor and Inquisition soldiers move up on either side of her and raise their shields, blocking the incoming volley of Reaper fire while the rest of the soldiers move out of the way. Taking cover on either side of the hall behind the pilasters as those at the front of the shield wall avoid the high-velocity slugs flying past them.

"Grenades!" Cassandra shouts.

The US marine pulls the pin and pull ring of an M67 frag grenade and then tosses it, followed by a female UNSC marine throwing an M9 grenade, and a male Twi'lek New Republic soldier with his thermal detonator. The multiple grenade types flying over the shield wall and Maxwell as they land amongst the Reaper troops and go off, taking a number of Husks with them in the following explosions.

"Forward line, down!" Cassandra orders as the gunmen at the front crouch on their left knees and aim forward.

"Everyone on the ground!" Erza, who was looking back and seeing this, shouts.

She, along with Maxwell and the shield wall troops, dropped to the floor in an instant.

"FIRE!" Cassandra yells while swinging her sword down.

The US, UNSC, and Systems Alliance Marines, along with Providence, and SHIELD agents, and UNIT, Lion and Wolf Tribe, Turian, Salarian, Sangheili, and New Republic soldiers open fire with their weapons. The various projectiles slamming into the remaining Husks as they begin going down; the last of them, a Marauder dropping several seconds later. With the last of the Husks down, and not hearing anymore coming, Maxwell, Erza, and the other soldiers on the ground push themselves up while the rest of the soldiers come out from cover as everyone regroups.

"Good work everyone. But the battle is not over yet. Now it is our turn. Let's start pushing these creatures back to where they came!" Maxwell shouts.

"YEAH~!" all the soldiers yell in agreement as many of them raise their weapons into the air.

"Retreat! Fall back!" a female soldier on the causeway shouts.

Coalition troops retreating while several of the soldiers stay to provide cover for their friends and comrades. An Eagle soldier who is walking backwards while firing at the Husks is shot dead, a nearby UNIT soldier who is crouched on his left knee looks over but is then shot as well as he goes down. An Orlesian soldier blocks incoming slugs with his Orlesian Balanced Shield, a Geth trooper a few feet to his left as it fires its Geth Pulse Rifle, shooting down a Husk just a few feet from it as it turns to fire elsewhere. As the Orlesian continues blocking the shots, one of the enemy rounds hits him in the left ankle, causing him to cry out in pain as he falls to the ground. Taking notice of this the Geth trooper rushes over, crouching beside him as it turns and fires another burst from its gun before turning back to grab him by the arm to drag him away.

"Look out!" the Orlesian shouts while pointing behind the Geth. The Geth trooper turns and raises its gun to fire at an incoming Abomination when an arrow flies right into the side of its head taking it out.

The Sindar elf, Legolas lowers his bow as he reaches for his quiver and pulls out another arrow. Raising his bow and pulling the arrow back on the bowstring as he releases it, sending the arrow directly into the face of a Cannibal as it screeches out in pain and topples to the ground. From behind the Justice League member Vibe runs in and then jumps forward; landing at the bottom of the causeway in between the remaining soldiers and horde of approaching Husks as he raises both of his hands towards them and releases waves of sonic vibrations from his palms. The sonic vibration waves blasting back many of the Husks as they screech out, with a number of them slamming into and knocking down more Husks at the back. Legolas then looks up as he sees the web slinging hero, Spider-Man, web swing over him as he holds out both arms and shoots balls of web fluid from his web shooters. The balls of web impacting into the faces of a Marauder and Scion blinding them, as both Husks reach for and attempt to rip the webbing from their faces.

This allows Spidey to swing towards them as he throws both legs out and kicks both Husks sending them flying. Landing on the ground crouched low, Spidey raises his right arm and shoots webbing into the face of a charging Husk, blinding it as he jump flips over it and spins around to roundhouse kick it across the head. Turning to his right Spidey then shoots another string of web into a Cannibal as he grabs the web with both hands and pulls on it, pulling the Cannibal with it as he spins around and lets go sending the Cannibal crashing into a group of other Husks.

From around the bend a large number of Coalition troops appear accompanied by a M820 Main Battle Tank.

"Move up! Push forward!" an Asari soldier shouts as some of the soldiers immediately begin firing on the Husks.

"Hyah!" Leo Corbett, the Red Galaxy Ranger, shouts as he flips forward through the air.

Followed by the rest of the Galaxy Rangers, Damon Henderson, Galaxy Green, Kai Chen, Galaxy Blue, Maya, Galaxy Yellow, Kendrix Morgan, Galaxy Pink, and his brother Mike Corbett, the Magna Defender. The Galaxy Rangers landing on the ground as they take out their Quasar Sabers and Magna Sword and charge forward, engaging the Reapers up close. Leo delivers a downwards slash taking out another Husk, turning around to see another Husk coming at him as he prepares to engage when someone else appears and strikes it down with a large sword resembling part of a street with lane markers down the middle.

"Huh?" Leo says as he straightens himself.

"Alright!" Sosuke Esumi, Go-On Red, shouts as he swipes his left thumb across his helmet where his nose would be.

"Let's finish this at mach speed, everyone!" Sosuke shouts while pointing his Road Sabre at the Husks as he then charges forward leaving behind a slightly bewildered Leo.

The rest of the Go-Ongers, Renn Kousaka, Go-On Blue, Saki Rouyama, Go-On Yellow, Hant Jou, Go-On Green, and Gunpei Ishihara, Go-On Black; along with the Go-On Wings, Hiroto Sutou, Go-On Gold, and Miu Sutou, Go-On Silver appear as they jump towards the Husks with their primary weapons out.

The Scorpion Tank stops at the top of the ramp as it fires its cannon, taking out a Brute as most of its body is blown to pieces, causing the massive Husk to topple to the ground dead.

"Bridge Axe!" Go-On Green shouts while swinging his massive axe diagonally downwards to the right.

"Transdagger! Cosma Claw!" Galaxy Blue shouts while swinging his biclaw form Transdagger diagonally downwards to the left.

Green and Blue energy slashes striking the Praetorian as it hovers back several feet while screeching out in pain before exploding. The gunner from the Humvee is shown to have survived albeit with some injuries, his face bloodied and slightly burned as he is pulled out from the wreckage by Legolas through the back right door, gritting his teeth in pain as Legolas hands him off to a Circle Mage to be cared for. Legolas gets up as he grabs another arrow, pulls it back on his bow and releases it, taking out another Husk close to Galaxy Yellow as she downward slashes a Marauder, while off a few feet behind her Go-On Silver strikes down a Scion with her Rocket Dagger. Vibe uses his sonic vibration powers to blast back several more Husks, as Spider-Man web swings over his head and aims his right web shooter forward to fire another string of web.

"Captain Lasky!" Roland calls, a large smile of relief on his virtual holographic face.

Lasky speed walks over to the AI, "What is it Roland?" he asks.

"Some good news finally, captain." Roland says as he turns his head to look up at him "Looks like our hero friends are finally getting in on the action." Roland then turns his head to look back up. Watching as on all the holovid monitors, various heroes and hero teams start to appear everywhere the Husks were. And begin helping the Coalition troops to start pushing them back.

Lasky watches this as well with an awed, and relieved expression "Well then. About damn time." he says.

On a wide bridge above one of the Infinity's highway roads, Shouichi Tsugami, Kamen Rider Agito, engages a group of Husks. Agito throws a push kick into a normal Husk, as he ducks beneath a claw swing from a Husk behind him and then spins around to punch that Husk in the stomach knocking it back. Agito then side kicks another Husk and follows with a high roundhouse kick across another Husk's face, sending it twirling to the ground. Wrapping his left arm behind a Husk's back, Agito punches it in the stomach and then in the face sending it flying into another Husk knocking them both down; the last Husk then rushes him from his left side as he dodges a swing from its claw and uses its momentum to then toss the Husk over the railing as it falls to the ground below. Striking his pre-battle pose with his right hand held forward and his left hand by his side, Agito then jumps over the railing.

Nearby across the bridge, Takuya Kanbara, as Agunimon fights another group of Husks alongside a Water Tribe warrior, and Lion Tribe warrior, a UNIT soldier and Plumber agent, the latter two a few feet away as they fire their weapons carefully at the Husks while the others fight up close. Agunimon delivering a fire-covered punch to a Scion while the Water Tribe warrior cut down a normal Husk with his whale bone scimitar, the Lion Tribe warrior thrusting his spear into another normal Husk while the UNIT soldier and Plumber agent fired their guns to take out two approaching Cannibals.

Down below on the highway Cannibals and Marauders fire their guns into a wall of shields consisting of soldiers from the Dalish Elves, and Earth Kingdom armies. Two Banshees amongst the Husk forces as both of them let out ear-piercing screeches while moving forward at the front of them. As the Cannibals and Marauders stopped firing, the middle section of the shield wall split open, the soldiers moving aside revealing three massive boulders as behind them, three Earthbenders levitated the rocks a few inches off the ground before punching them. Sending the boulders flying forward at high speed as they slammed into the Husks, taking out both Banshees and a number of the lower types.

In another hallway a group of Husks move through it unopposed. That is until a large squad of US, and UNSC Army, along with Batarian, Krogan, and Unggoy soldiers appear from around the corner and immediately fire upon the Husks taking them out before they can even react.

Elsewhere another group of Husks approach a closed door. Once close enough the door opened up, revealing on the other end the Dragon Rider Eragon, atop his dragon Saphira, as the dragon reared her head back and then threw it back forward. Spewing fire from her mouth as all the Husks in the hall were engulfed by it, screeching out in pain as they collapsed to the floor. After a few more seconds Saphira stopped, allowing her, Eragon, and the Coalition soldiers around them to see the hallway cleared of Husks as their bodies burned on the ground.

Along another highway, the Autobot Ironhide fired a barrage of missiles down the hall; Coalition troops slowly pushing forward below him, and on either sides of the walkways. Rohan, and Dwarven shieldmen at the front on the main road blocking incoming high-velocity slugs, while Inquisition soldiers acted as a shield wall on the upper left walkway, and Water Tribe, and Aman Elven soldiers forming a shield wall on the right walkway. The Husks fired at the approaching Coalition soldiers, however due to the shield walls their high-velocity slugs were unable to find any targets. While the archers and gun users of the Coalition were able to peek over their shield walls, due to the soldiers being low enough for them to do so, and safely fire back at the Husks allowing them to shoot many of them down. One Marauder fired its Phaeston rifle, managing to hit a peeking male Plumber agent in the shoulder knocking him down; immediately his spot was taken up by a Galactic Ranger robot as the Ranger fired back with its laser blaster arm, shooting and taking down the same Marauder. A female Quarian marine meanwhile grabs the injured Plumber agent and pulls him away to safety. Ironhide fired his machine gun while War Machine flew in from behind to his right side, firing a barrage of missiles and bullets from his suit's launchers and machine guns.

A large group of Husks walk down another hallway elsewhere on the ship, no Coalition soldiers or heroes in sight. The Husks approach a T-shaped intersection ahead, unbeknownst to them were the Coalition soldiers hiding in wait behind both corners, Urdnot Grunt, Lance in his Manus armor, and Shale amongst them in the left hallway. Meanwhile, hiding right above the Husks between the pilasters was a group of Heroes consisting of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Raphael, the Gargoyle Bronx, the Furious Five member Monkey, Kamen Rider Kiva, the Ninja Storm Rangers, and Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.

Raphael looked towards Altaïr as the assassin looked back, Altaïr then nodded his head as he looked back down at the Husks and then jumped towards a Banshee. Driving his hidden blade right into the head of the Husk as it screeched out in pain; at this the rest of the heroes all dropped down taking down a number of other Husks. Raphael plunging both of his sai's into the heads of a regular Husk and Abomination, the Ninja Storm Rangers striking down Cannibals and Marauders with their Ninja Swords, Thunder Staffs, and Samurai Saber, while Monkey, Bronx, and Kiva dropped down atop a Husk, Scion, and Marauder taking them out.

"Everyone down!" Raphael shouts as all of them then drop to the ground.

"Light 'em up!" Lance shouts as he, and Grunt come out from around the corner along with a number of Coalition soldiers and open fire with their weapons.

Cutting down even more Husks before they even know what hit them.

"CHARGE!" a female Inquisition soldier yells as she, along with Shale, and all the close range fighting Coalition soldiers charge forward and engage the Husks.

Raphael and his team quickly get back on their feet as they rejoin the fight.

"Hee-hahahahahaha! Now this is what I'm talking about!" Grunt excitedly yells as he charges forward without a second thought, shoulder slamming right through a Scion knocking it down as he then blows its face off with his M-22 Eviscerator.

An Earth Kingdom nonbender, Gorilla Tribe, and female Dalish Elf soldier finish off three Husks when a Brute suddenly appears in front of them. The three look up in terror as the Brute raises its over-sized claw arm across the body to strike them, when suddenly there is a quick flash of light and the Brute freezes in place. A second later the Brute's body comes apart diagonally downwards from right to left as the Husk collapses and falls apart. Revealing Lance behind where the Brute once was with a large sword in his right hand, held out down to his right. Shale picks up a Praetorian and slams it into the ground as she begins bashing it repeatedly with her fists.

"Come on! Let's push these bastards back! ADVANCE!" a male Systems Alliance marine yells as the Coalition gunners charge forward with roaring battle cries.

Many of them still firing their guns while of course being careful of where their close-fighting comrades were, eventually joining said comrades and the Heroes as they engage the Reaper Husks up close and personal.


Alright, everything was going well so far. Chief didn't attempt to kill Palpatine in any way, though Shepard could just sense that the Spartan was really, really tempted to do so. The Commander didn't blame him. There was a part of him that wished they coulddo something about this Chancellor, this disguised Sith Lord. Unfortunately, there were a lot of factors going against them as to why they couldn't. First and foremost of course was what the Doctor had told them about Fixed Points in Time, meaning whatever happened to the Jedi, unfortunately has to happen or else it could endanger the entire universe! As for the current moment, well, they needed the Republic's support if they were going to win the Reaper War. Or at least have a far better chance at winning it, especially since it was now most likely the Separatists were going to join since Saren was with them.

To the Republic, he was a complete stranger, and depending on how things went with the whole "I'm from another universe" thing, a complete lunatic. If he were to suddenly bring up how their Supreme Chancellor is an evil Sith Lord who was planning to destroy the Jedi, and was the mastermind behind the Clone Wars. Well, safe to say things would spiral out of control from there. A number of things could happen, most if not all of them ending with Shepard basically gaining no alliance from the Republic at all because of saying such a thing and what it could cause. Firstly, they would need solid evidence of all this, since again, he was just a complete stranger, and even with the Doctor there, would anyone believe the words of some people they just met claiming to be from other universes? Or their Chancellor whom they have "known" for a long, long time? Yeah Shepard could just tell that would be the most likely thing to happen, which would then lead to either them being forced out of this universe, or worse yet, being arrested as spies from the Separatists attempting to sabotage the Republic which he could not afford happening.

Even if there was a small chance that they could take out Palpatine, therein lies the next problem that the Republic is now without their Supreme Chancellor, their leader basically, and that could cause quite a problem in the long run of things. And again, would probably end with no Republic alliance being gained as the Senate would be too busy trying to find someone who can take the office, especially since the Clone Wars would still be a thing even after the Reapers are defeated. No matter what, if Shepard attempted to take down Palpatine in any way, it could cause a lot of problems, both for the universe, the Reaper War, basically everything. So unfortunately he would just need to ignore the fact he was making a deal with "the devil" in a way, and just go through with it. There was just no way they would be able to take down Palpatine to save the future of this universe, and gain allies for the Reaper War. It was one thing, or the other. And unfortunately, the fate of all universes was a bit more higher of a stake than the fate of one universe's future…

"Commander?" Obi-Wan says.

Shepard blinks and shakes his head as his mind comes back to reality "Sorry, what?" he says in a confused state.

"Are you alright? You seem troubled by something." Obi-Wan asks.

"Yeah… Yeah I'm fine. Just, hoping this all goes well." Shepard says.

"Don't we all." Obi-Wan says, seeming to buy what Shepard said as he looks back forward.

Obi-Wan and Anakin led Shepard, Master Chief, and Troy through the halls of the Senate Building; the two Jedi leading them to their repulsorpod as the Senate meeting was just about to start. Following the, rather short, meeting with the Supreme Chancellor, Chancellor Palpatine allowed Shepard and his group to ride with him in his personal airspeeder since they were to travel to the Senate Building anyways. Along the way the Chancellor continued chatting with the Commander, asking him for extra details about the Reaper War situation; such as what exactly the Reapers were, who their allies were, as well as who Shepard's allies were amongst the Coalition since it would be nice to know who the Republic would potentially be allying themselves with in this fight. Shepard of course telling him everything he needed to know, save for leaving out anything to do with the New Republic. It was inevitable that if the Galactic Republic did join the fight, a meeting between the two Republic's would happen. Shepard would need to deal with that when it happened. But so long as the Chancellor himself didn't meet them, or learn about them, things wouldn't get too complicated. Especially if he learned about who they were and everything.

Shepard and his group had gotten dropped off at the front of the building as Chancellor Palpatine was then taken to his personal hangar so he could proceed to his office. And so here they were at the current moment. Being led to their personal repulsorpod that they would use during the Senate meeting to address the rest of the Republic Senate. Anakin and Obi-Wan would remain with them to help operate the pod but otherwise they would just be there to observe the whole meeting as the Jedi had no voice in the Senate.

"Master Skywalker, Master Kenobi, it is a pleasure to see you two again." a young adult, female human with brown hair dressed up in a very… odd style says as she approaches the group.

Her hair was being held up by what could only be described as some kind of golden crown ornament of some weird design, she had long, thin, crystal-shaped green jewelry hanging from her ears, and was wearing a light blue and gold dress with the gold parts having a variety of different designs on them.

"Senator Amidala, a pleasure as always to see you as well." Obi-Wan greets as the group comes to a stop in front of the Senator from Naboo, Padmé Amidala.

"I suppose you've heard that the Chancellor has called for a Special Session of Congress. A lot of Senators, myself included, are very concerned as to why. Is everything going well in the war?" Senator Amidala asks.

"It's been back and forth as usual. However, there is a possibility that our most recent victory may have just won us the war." Anakin says.

"Yes indeed. For we have finally succeeded in capturing the Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army, General Grievous." Obi-Wan says.

"That is most excellent news indeed! From what I've been hearing, it has only been because of General Grievous the Separatists have been able to achieve so many victories over our troops. With his capture, perhaps we might see a turn in this war, and soon an end to it all." Padmé says.

"If only it were that easy." Anakin says as he crosses his arms while turning his head away with an uneasy look.

This catches the Senator's attention as she becomes both alarmed and confused by it "What do you mean?" she asks.

"You will learn about it soon, Senator. After all the session is about to start, so perhaps we should both be on our way." Obi-Wan says.

"The Jedi are right, Senator. We should proceed to our pod. The meeting is about to begin." Captain Gregar Typho speaks up.

"Oh, right. Of course. Another time then, Master Jedi." Padmé says.

Obi-Wan and Anakin bow their heads forward in respect before finally taking their leave, Shepard, Chief, and Troy right behind them as Padmé and her head of security also begin taking their leave. As she walks by her eyes are drawn towards the three human males following Anakin and Obi-Wan; noting the two armored men, especially the gigantic green armored one, and then the third member who appeared to be nothing more than a young boy, a civilian to if anything judging by his rather odd clothing that didn't exactly speak of someone of great importance or even security. Once they were out of her line of sight Padmé looked back forward.

"Captain Typho, what do you make of those three following the Jedi?" Padmé asks once they were a bit of a distance away.

"I don't know Senator. The ones in armor gave me the sense that they must be soldiers, though I've never seen any armor like those before. Especially the giant one. As for the boy, I honestly don't know about him. He's certainly not wearing the type of clothing for someone in a political position. Nor is there any indication that he's some kind of servant, or even security. I'm thinking civilian, but if that's the case, why is he here? No normal civilian, unless they were a worker of some sort, would be allowed in the Senate Building." Captain Typho says.

Senator Amidala just looked to the ground. A part of her curious, wondering if those men with Anakin and Obi-Wan had anything to do with this Special Session of Congress being called? But, it couldn't be. What could those three possibly have to say that would require the Chancellor to call for this Special Session in the first place? There couldn't possibly be something bigger than the Clone Wars that would require their immediate attention, could there?

"Senators and…"

"Representatives of the Republic." Chancellor Palpatine begins to speak from his podium at the center of the Galactic Senate Chamber.

"I have called for this Special Session today, because of a recent development that has reached my ears. It appears that the threat of the Separatist Alliance... may no longer be our only concern."

At this many of the Senators and Representatives began murmuring amongst one another. Fear and concern laced in their voices, as they all wondered what the Chancellor was talking about. Only a few people in the crowd remained silent, among them was Senator Amidala who looked around with a worried expression, and of course those who already knew what was going on.

"Order. Order!" Vice Chair Mas Amedda calls out while tapping his staff two times, silencing everyone.

"At this moment, you are all wondering who or what now threatens the safety of the Republic and its citizens. And while I wish it were not true, unfortunately, from what I have been informed, it is that this new threat. Is one that is even greater than the Separatists themselves. Members of the Senate, our galaxy, our people, our very way of life, is now being threatened by a race of highly advanced machines, called the Reapers. And these Reapers are not from our galaxy."

The entire chamber erupted as Senators and Representatives began yelling out at the Chancellor, demanding answers as to what in the world he was talking about. Who were these Reapers? Why were they attacking them? Were they attacking the Separatists as well? And what did he mean by they were not from "our galaxy"?

Mas Amedda tapped his staff once more several times "Order! There will be order!" he yelled.

It took a while, but eventually everyone quieted down.

"Let it be known, that at the current moment there is nothing to fear. These Reapers have yet to attack our galaxy. But eventually they will. I know how sudden this is, and that you will all have a lot of questions. One of which is how I know this attack is coming. But I do not hold any of the answers to these questions. All I can answer is how I know about these Reapers and how I know that an attack from them is coming..."

As if he could sense where the Chancellor was going with this, Obi-Wan pressed the button on the right side of the control panel. Causing the pod the group was in to begin moving as it slowly hovered out towards the center of the Senate Chamber as Senator Amidala immediately took notice of this.

"Senators and Representatives of the Republic, this man right here is the one who holds all the answers you seek."

Shepard's repulsorpod hovered close to the Chancellor's podium, stopping just a few feet in front of it to the left as it then turned around slowly. Allowing Shepard to face out towards, well part of the audience anyways. As the Commander stood at attention with his arms behind his back.

"He will now speak." Palpatine finishes.

"Thank you, Chancellor. Senators and Representatives of the Republic, I am Commander Shepard. Of the Systems Alliance, and Citadel Spectres..." Shepard begins.

"You are a soldier? Since when have we allowed the common trooper a place to speak in the Senate?" the Gran Senator speaks as his pod hovers to the center of the chamber to speak his thoughts.

"Not only that. But who are these Systems Alliance, and Citadel Spectres you speak of? We recognize no organizations that bear those names." Twi'lek Senator Orn Free Taa says as his pod hovers to the center of the chamber.

"Maybe if he was allowed to speak." Chief very quietly says to himself in a slightly annoyed tone. With both Troy and Anakin overhearing him.

"While this is true that we would normally not allow any military personnel a voice in the Senate. An exception has been made for the Commander. For he is the one who holds all that we need to know about these Reapers. So unless there are any more objections, you may proceed, Commander." Palpatine speaks.

Shepard, who was looking back at the Chancellor, nods his head as he looks back forward.

"As your Chancellor says, I do indeed have knowledge on who these Reapers are, and what their goal is. Much of what I'm about to say may sound alien to you, and some of it may even sound crazy. But I assure you, that everything I say is the truth and nothing but the truth. With me are two high-ranking members from the Jedi Order, and if you know the Jedi, they are able to sense when someone is telling the truth, or lying. So if I am lying, they will be the first ones to mention it. So then, to start things off. As the Chancellor said, the Reapers are not from your galaxy. But more precisely, they are not even from your universe…" Shepard begins again.

The LAAT/i gunship approaches the Jedi Temple. Walking down the steps of the Jedi headquarters was the Grandmaster himself, Yoda, accompanied by Jedi Masters Mace Windu, and Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Jedi Knight Aayla Secura. The gunship touched down several feet away as the doors opened up, allowing Ahsoka Tano, Liara T'Soni, Tigress, Lucy Heartfilia, and Sora to disembark leaving just Tali, and EDI aboard.

"We'll see you back at the TARDIS! Try not to have too much fun!" Tali jokingly says as the doors close back up.

The gunship takes off as it begins heading back towards the Republic base's airfield.

"The Senate meeting should have started by now. I hope your Commander is doing alright so far." Ahsoka says, looking to Liara.

"Shepard may be a soldier. But he is no stranger to the game of politics. I'm sure he is handling himself quite well." Liara says.

"I think the only one we might need to worry about is Chief. He didn't exactly sound very excited when Shepard chose him to accompany him to this whole thing." Sora says.

"Unlike Shepard, Chief is a warrior through and through. He was trained to do one thing, fight the enemy. Unfortunately, the kind of fighting that happens in politics, cannot be solved with a simple punch." Tigress puts her hands to her hips. "And not only that, but politics can get really annoying sometimes. There are smart politicians, and then there are those who are only trying to look out for themselves and could care less about doing what's right." she finishes.

"Which is why it's a good thing Natsu is nowhere near that meeting. If Natsu hears something he doesn't like, he'll make his voice heard. And probably make the situation ten times worse in the process with insults, threats of violence... Basically Natsu would be the last person you want anywhere near political talks." Lucy says with her arms crossed.

"I could tell that the moment I met him." Tigress says in agreement.

"Welcome back, Padawan Tano." the voice of Master Yoda greets, making Ahsoka turn around.

"Master Yoda." Ahsoka replies as she bows forward in respect.

Ahsoka went back up, "Master Yoda, these are some of Commander Shepard's teammates. Liara T'Soni, Lucy Heartfilia, Tigress, and Sora. Everyone, this is Grand Master Yoda of the Jedi Order, along with Jedi Masters Mace Windu, and Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Jedi Knight Aayla Secura." Ahsoka says introducing the two sides.

"It is an honor to meet you." Tigress says putting her left fist into her right palm as she closes her eyes and bows forward in respect. Lucy and Liara follow her as they put their hands together and bow forward to also show respect to the Jedi.

"Hey there. How's it going?" Sora just casually greets however with a wave of his right hand while his left hand rests behind his head.

Shocking Lucy and angering Tigress as they both look up at him, Tigress baring her fangs with furrowed brows. Ahsoka also looks back at Sora in shock, finding it very hard to believe how he had just so casually addressed the Jedi Grand Master and two Jedi Masters like that. Mace Windu raises a brow while Ki-Adi-Mundi and Aayla Secura exchange questioning glances at one another, Master Yoda just looks at Sora with a normal expression.

Tigress gets up and fast walks over as she grabs the back of Sora's head with her right hand and forces him to bow forward causing him to yelp, "That is not how you greet someone of such status!" she angrily states.

Looking back at Yoda in shock as she bows once more "Our apologies, Grand Master Yoda." Tigress says.

Yoda however chuckles at this, "Worry, you need not be. No offense taken." he says.

After letting out sighs of relief, mostly from Lucy and Tigress, the two along with Sora and Liara go back up as Sora rubs the back of his head.

"Obi-Wan informed us that the Commander's team was very large. Where are the other members if I may ask?" Mace Windu asks Ahsoka.

"Exploring the city, Master. Captain Rex and Commander Cody are looking after them." Ahsoka replies.

"Interested in the Jedi are you? Choosing to come here, instead of exploring Galactic City, very interesting choice you have made." Yoda says.

"You could say that. For me I used to be a researcher. Well, a part of me still is but let's just say I switch back and forth between that and my new job every now and then. Ever since we started traveling across the multiverse, I've been fascinated in trying to learn whatever I can about the other universes. What makes them different from ours. Different cultures, technology, anything and everything basically. Ahsoka told me about the Jedi Archives you have here and, well I was hoping I could gain access to them to learn as much as I could about this universe and its people. With your permission of course." Liara says.

"Access to the Archives you shall have, Liara T'Soni. More knowledge in the Archives you will find, compared to anywhere else in our galaxy." Yoda says.

"I'm also interested in learning about this universe and its people! Though I'm not much of a researcher, I just like reading. So if it's alright, I would like to be able to go in there as well?" Lucy asks.

"Permission granted, for you as well Lucy Heartfilia. Any others who wish to travel to the Archives, are there?" Yoda asks, looking towards Tigress and Sora.

"For me, I'm actually interested in learning about the Jedi Order. Though I'm not much of a reader, and I would like to explore this temple of yours as it looks quite extraordinary" Tigress says.

"A guide then, I shall assign to you. Master Windu, go with Tigress you shall. To show her the temple, and answer any questions she has about our order." Yoda says looking up to him.

"As you wish Master Yoda." Mace Windu says with a slow nod of his head.

"And what of you, young Sora? What is it you are here to do?" Yoda asks.

"Well, I was going to do a bit of exploring myself. Though more in the relaxing kind of way, just kind of walk around, check the place out. If that's alright." Sora says.

"I can look after Sora, Master Yoda." Ahsoka speaks up.

"Very well, Padawan Tano. In your care, Sora will be. To all of you, welcome to the Jedi Temple, you are. Enjoy your time here, I hope you do." Yoda says.

The Kingdom Key Keyblade and a green lightsaber clashed for several seconds before both wielders jumped back from each other.

"Come on Sora. I don't even need to sense you're holding back on me." Ahsoka taunts.

"And this is a weird way of relaxing. But I won't complain too much. Back where I grew up, sparring with my friends was one of my ways of relaxing and having fun. Until I actually got tired, that is." Sora says.

"Sounds like you had a fun life growing up." Ahsoka says.

"I grew up on an island, wasn't really a whole lot else to do. Though I guess in a way it did help prepare me for the whole saving the world thing when I got the Keyblade." Sora says.

"Still haven't told me why you're holding back. I know you are, come on! Come at me with everything you got!" Ahsoka challenges him.

"Cause I just feel like it." Sora casually says with a shrug of his shoulders. "Besides, you've seen what happens when I go all out right? I took down that Grievous guy didn't I?" Sora points out.

"I believe I helped you take him down, by giving you an opening." Ahsoka says with a humorous tone.

"Besides, Grievous couldn't do this." Ahsoka says as she throws her hands forward to cast a Force Push.

Launching Sora backwards across the sparring arena as the keyblade wielder managed to recover mid-air, rolling backwards till his feet were behind him as he landed against the wall. Looking towards Ahsoka with a grin, Sora then launched himself at high speed towards the young Togruta as Ahsoka raised her lightsaber to defend herself. When he got close enough Sora slammed the tip of his keyblade into the ground, causing an explosion that propelled him over Ahsoka who was taken aback by the move as she spun around. Unfortunately she was unable to react in time as in one swift move, Sora spun around and swung his keyblade, striking Ahsoka sending her flying back a few feet as she hit the ground and bounced back a little. Her lightsaber deactivating and falling out from her hand. Ahsoka groaned in pain as she pushed herself up, her right hand to her head with her eyes closed as she opened them, only to be greeted by a keyblade being pointed right at her.

"I believe that's Sora 1, Ahsoka 0." Sora says with a smirk.

"You just got lucky." Ahsoka says, "Best 2 out of 3." she adds with a sly grin.

Not that much later Ahsoka slammed into the wall with a grunt of pain as she fell to the ground.

"And that makes the score 2-0." Sora says with a humored smile.

Ahsoka pushed herself back up, "I'm just getting warmed up. This time for sure, I'm winning." she says.

Ahsoka landed upside down after crashing into the wall again. She then spun to her left while in the air before crashing on the ground face forward. Sora blocked a low attack from Ahsoka's lightsaber as the two then spun away from each other, Ahsoka pulling her left arm back and then throwing it forward attempting another force push attack as Sora jumped up to his left to dodge it. Ahsoka followed him with her gaze as Sora landed high against the wall and launched himself off of it towards Ahsoka, pulling his keyblade back as he swung it down forcing Ahsoka to backflip away to dodge, causing Sora to hit the ground instead. Sora looked up as Ahsoka landed and then jumped towards him, once close enough Ahsoka swung her lightsaber. At the last second however, Sora turned his keyblade with the teeth facing upwards as he pulled up, deflecting Ahsoka's lightsaber and knocking her off balance. Allowing Sora to then jump up as he spun around and swung his keyblade striking her across the body sending her flying again as she hit the ground and slid back a few feet.

"Thunder!" Sora shouts, raising his keyblade into the air.

Summoning a single bolt of thunder down on top of Ahsoka as she raises her lightsaber to block the attack, giving Sora an opening as he dashes forward and spins to his left, thrusting his keyblade into Ahsoka and striking her as she is sent flying to the ground once more. Sora shouldered his keyblade and watched as Ahsoka sat up, holding the back of her head and groaning in pain.

"Are you alright?" Sora asks slightly concerned that he might have gone a bit overboard by accident.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing too serious." Ahsoka says as she then lets out a huff "Man, you are good." she adds.

"How old are you?" she asks with a raised eyebrow.

"15." Sora casually answers.

Ahsoka's eyes widen, "You're a year older than me and you're doing all of that and more? Who trained you?" Ahsoka asks.

"Uh~." Sora drawls out as he scratches the back of his head while looking up. "No one really. Like I said, my friends and I used to play fight back where we grew up. When I got the Keyblade, I used some of my skills from that to fight my enemies. The rest… kind of just came to me naturally. The only teaching I got was in the use of magic but that was about it."

"So you're mostly self-taught?" Ahsoka questions.

"Pretty much." Sora says.

"And he was able to take down Grievous? Unbelievable…" Ahsoka says in her mind.

Again, he did have her help in the fight against the Droid General. But in the end it was Sora himself who delivered the blow strong enough to take down Grievous. That spoke volumes itself when even her Master's master, Obi-Wan, couldn't take him down.

At the same time…

Ahsoka narrowed her eyes with a slightly annoyed look on her face, "Wait. So you're self-taught, and all those moves you're doing are just… coming to you naturally?" she asks.

"I mean… yeah. They just come to me and I kind of improve upon them when I fight the bad guys in my universe." Sora says.

Ahsoka just stares at Sora, "Why can't my training be as simple as that?" she questions in her head.

Suddenly a burst of leaves appear above Ahsoka as two sprouts of water drops descend onto her, catching her attention as she looks up and suddenly feels what little pain she had go away in an instant. The leaves and water also disappearing a few seconds later. Ahsoka looks to Sora as she sees him approach her, Sora twirling his keyblade around as he de-summons it and offers his right hand to her.

Ahsoka looks at his hand and back up at him, "Thanks." she says as she grabs it, allowing Sora to help pull her up.

"No problem. By the way, 6-0." Sora says as he gives her a playful smile.

Ahsoka crosses her arms with a slightly annoyed look on her face, which then changes to a smile after a few seconds; "Alright. You win today. But next time we fight, I'm gonna wipe the floor with you." she says, putting her hands to her hips.

"I wish you luck next time." Sora says as he crosses his arms.

Sora then stretches his arms upwards while letting out a satisfied moan, "Well, I don't know about you. But going 6 fights, and using a bit of magic. Has sure exhausted me. Perhaps now we can just sit down and relax?" Sora asks.

"Yeah, sure." Ahsoka says as the two turn and walk over towards the nearby bench.

Sitting down as Sora leans his head back and closes his eyes while Ahsoka pulls both of her legs up and crosses them before looking over at the keyblade wielder.

"So, how long have you been traveling with the Commander and his team?" Ahsoka asks.

Sora opens his eyes and rests his hands behind his head, "Not that long. Just two universes. Well three now counting this one. I had been sent to two other universes before meeting him and his team by Minerva. Did some stuff in those two universes to hurt Cerberus, then returned to my universe. Met Troy briefly in one universe, and then properly met Chief when he was sent to my universe by Cerberus. Some plot of theirs to separate Shepard's team across the multiverse to I guess make them easier targets or something? Didn't work out for them in the end. We went back to Shepard's universe, took a little break, and then before they left for their next universe, me, Laval, Eris, Natsu, Lucy, and Happy all joined them. You know, to help them out." Sora says.

"Think you've gotten a good sense of everyone?" Ahsoka asks.

"More or less. Pretty easy to tell one thing, they're all great people." Sora says as he smiles.

Commander Shepard is seen as he continues addressing the Republic Senate.

"Even though I haven't known Shepard, Chief, or any of the others for that long. I could tell right off the bat every single one of them has the heart of a hero."

"They care for the people they fight for. Even those they don't know, or who don't deserve it, they care for them… to some degree anyways, for some of them, for the latter one. They know what they're fighting for. And they have no problem putting their lives on the line to fight for it."

Tali, EDI, and the Doctor continue their repairs on the TARDIS. The control room of the ship looking a lot more cleaner as things seemed to be going a lot more quickly with some help from Clone engineers.

"They fight for their home…"

Natsu chows down like crazy on the assortment of food before him, Po behind him though not eating as crazily as the Fire Dragon Slayer, while Happy, Laval, and Eris just ate their food at a more normal pace. This, along with their strange appearances did garner attention from some of the nearby patrons as they just looked at them. Captain Rex also looked at the heroes though more in a questioning kind of look as he had no idea what to make of the scene before him. More specifically, what to make of Natsu, and Po.

Just then a hand appeared on his shoulder capturing the captain's attention, as he turned to see a thuggish looking human male, and Quarren looking down at him with angered and annoyed expressions. The human male then began yelling at him, Rex just raised his hands trying to calm the man down but he just kept talking while simultaneously poking the captain in the chest. Whatever he was saying was not good, as while slurping up a large amount of some weird alien noodles, Natsu looked up to the human male. Rex continued trying to talk to the man in a calm manner, however that didn't seem to work as the thug then pulled his right fist back and threw it at Rex. Before it could hit however, the man's fist had been caught by someone else. The two men, and Rex looked to see Natsu with a highly angered look in his eyes as he stared at the two thugs.

Within the next few seconds both men were down on the ground completely knocked out. Their eyes blank, and their mouths wide open as they both had several missing teeth. Rex looked up at Natsu in surprise as the Fire Dragon Slayer just gave him a toothy-grin and a thumbs up.

"Their friends…"

Elsewhere in Galactic City; Garrus, Wrex, Ashley, James, Javik, Tsukasa, and Marvelous wander around. Looking at everything new, and interesting this world had to offer, with Commander Cody helping them with any questions they had about the city and its people. Tsukasa raised his camera and snapped a picture; Ashley looked around awed by what she was seeing.

"Those they really care for…"

Chief stands with his arms crossed, Troy to his right as he sits down with Anakin as they along with Obi-Wan continue to watch the Commander at work.

"No matter what dangers they face. No matter what obstacles get in their way…"

Tigress watches as a group of Jedi Younglings practice with their lightsabers, following the swings of the instructor as Mace Windu explains something to her. Just watching the younglings made Tigress smile a bit, as it reminded her of her days training in Kung Fu under Master Shifu when she was a child.

In the Jedi Archives meanwhile, Liara was looking at the terminal in front of her as she read whatever its contents were. While two seats to her right, Lucy was asking the Chief Librarian, Jocasta Nu a question.

"They're the kind of people who would find a way to get through it all. Find a way to defeat whatever lies before them, even if it seems impossible… Even if the odds were stacked against them… They would face whatever challenge laid ahead, head on..."

"If it meant protecting everything, and everyone they cared for." Sora finishes.

"I suppose you just described yourself as well?" Ahsoka asks.

"Oh yeah. That's me as well, for sure. I'm also the kind of person who would do anything to save my friends. I mean, you know not anything. Like anything bad just… you know what I mean." Sora says, causing Ahsoka to chuckle.

"Yeah, I can tell you're not that kind of person. You'll do whatever it takes to protect those you care for. But you won't cross that kind of line to do it." Ahsoka says.

Sora nods his head acknowledging this as he rests his head back and looks back up, his hands behind his head.

"Even if they're someone I just met, if we're friends, even a complete stranger. If it looks like they're in trouble, I'll do whatever it takes to protect them. Even if they can handle themselves quite well. At which point, I just need to help watch their backs. Still protecting them basically." Sora says as he looks back at Ahsoka.

"Well, good to know that if we do join the fight against these Reapers. I can count on you to watch my back." Ahsoka jokes.

"So what can you tell me about the universes you have been to? What were they like?" Ahsoka asks.

Sora's smile fades away, he then leans forward and puts his hands together, resting them on his legs.

"Well… To describe them easily. Just… different. One universe had a pretty normal looking city. Well normal to me I don't know how normal it would be for you. Two of them had the futuristic feeling to me, much like Coruscant but of course different. Another universe I didn't get to see really much of because we were mostly in space for our entire time there… It's kind of hard to describe them because... well for one they were all giant cities that I was in. Just different buildings, lightings, architecture... Another reason is because I was in a hurry in the majority of them and didn't exactly have time to stand around taking in the sights unfortunately. Though the most important reason... was because most of them were being destroyed by the Reapers... Hard to really take in any sights that could have been amazing when most of the city lies in ruin." Sora finishes, a saddened look on his face.

"I see..." Ahsoka says with sadness in her voice as she turns and looks down; "That's... really sad to hear."

Both of them remain silent for a minute.

"I can't even begin to imagine what terrible things have happened because of the Reapers… What horrors they've brought to the many civilizations across the multiverse. So many who probably don't know what's going on. What the Reapers are, why they are doing this... Just scared, wishing for it all to end. My galaxy is at war, that's one thing. But at the least both the Republic, and even the Separatists, as terrible as they are, know to respect those who wish to remain neutral."

"For the most part…" Ahsoka mentally adds in her head. Knowing full well that both the Separatists, and the Republic have had a hand in making several systems that wished to remain neutral no longer neutral. Though there did still remain a number of planets that stood strong in their stance of remaining neutral from this war.

"These Reapers… They don't care who's neutral and who's not. For billions of years, they've been destroying civilizations in Shepard's universe just because they were highly advanced. But now… now they have the means of traveling to other universes and are not only are they attacking them when no one in these universes knows who they are... But they're attacking every civilization across that universe. Every world, every race, no matter if they're using highly advanced technology like our galaxy, or if they're still using just sticks and stones to survive. They're attacking them all without any sort of warning, and with no care for who it is they're murdering! It's just… it's just so horrible! How could they do that?!" Ahsoka questions as she turns to Sora, and then turns back almost immediately.

"These Reapers are exactly the kind of thing we Jedi should be fighting! Yes, the Separatists are still a threat, but so are these Reapers! And these Reapers are obviously a far bigger threat than anything the Seppies could ever have! If the Senate doesn't allow us to join this fight I… I don't know how I'm going to be able to go on fighting in this war. What's the point? If you guys lose because we weren't there to help you, then our universe will just be destroyed eventually by the Reapers." Ahsoka says.

"I can't really relate to that. Lucky for me, I don't have to worry about any kind of political stuff holding me back. They just came to my universe, told me what was going on, and I agreed to help. Simple as that really. I can't imagine that feeling. Knowing what's going on, but not being able to do anything? I honestly don't know how I would react if there was something holding me back. Preventing me from helping people. Especially after everything I've heard about them. If I heard everything about the Reapers, and someone told me that I couldn't fight them, just because they said so… I don't… I really don't know how I would react." Sora says.

"Mysterious, the universe is." Sora and Ahsoka look to the left to see Grand Master Yoda standing at the entrance.

"Master Yoda!" Ahsoka says in surprise.

Yoda enters the room as the door closes behind him, the Jedi Grand Master approaches the two.

"Or should I now be saying. Mysterious, the multiverse is? Hm~?" Yoda says as he then chuckles. "Dangerous these Reapers are, all of life at stake. Only by working together, can we prevail. Yet will the Senate see it that way? Or make a terrible decision, will they?"

"Master Yoda, if the Senate does decide not to join the war against the Reapers. Is there any way for at least us Jedi to join the Commander and his Coalition in fighting them?" Ahsoka asks.

"Hm~." Yoda moans as he closes his eyes, "Unfortunately, nothing we will be able to do."

Yoda opens his eyes and looks up at Ahsoka and Sora, "Needed for the Clone Wars, the Jedi will be. Lose too many attempting to fight the Reapers, problems it could cause. Weakened, our forces could possibly become. Allowing for many victories for the Separatists. Fall, the Republic even could in our absence."

"But don't you agree that the Reapers are the bigger threat? I mean we aren't seeing the Separatists going out attacking multiple universes like they are! Not only that, but we know the Separatists are going to fight alongside the Reapers! Meaning if the Reapers win, then the Separatists will have them, and many more allies to fight against us. We would have no one to help us!" Ahsoka argues.

"Agree with you I do Padawan Tano. Not even the Sith were as powerful or dangerous as what these Reapers are capable of. Nothing I can do however, but trust in the Force. As the both of you should. Mysterious the multiverse is, as I said. Especially during these times. Never lose hope. Even in the most darkest of times, prevail, life always will. Even when all hope seems lost, come, a miracle will. Never forget, what it is you are fighting for. Who, you are fighting for. The strongest weapon all living beings can have, is here." Yoda says as he raises his staff.

Pointing right towards Sora's heart as Sora takes notice of this, the keyblade wielder putting his right hand over it as he looks back at Yoda.

"Our heart." Sora says.

"Something we all have, that the Reapers, and the forces of evil do not. Through our heart, our connections are made. No matter where you are, no matter where you fight, those you have connected with. Will always be with you. Supporting you. Guiding you. Our hearts, our connections to one another, the strongest weapons, those are. Which is why, defeat the Reapers, we will." Yoda states.

A young, elven female College mage falls to the ground, a high-velocity slug hole in her right leg. A single Husk approaches her while the others remain behind it, the young Elf whimpers in fear, and pain as the Husk gets closer and closer to her. Suddenly a silver armored boot kicks the Husk in the chest sending it flying back a few feet to the ground, the other Husks watching this happen as they turn back forward.

"Ore! Oh, wait facing the wrong way." the figure turns around to correctly face the Husks.

"Ore… sanjou!" the Imagin, Momotaros, Kamen Rider Den-O announces striking his pose.

Momotaros gets up, "Hope you ugly bastards are ready for a beating. Cause from start to finish, I'm always at climax!" he says as he takes out the Combination Armament DenGasher and forms it into Sword Mode.

"Now then, let's go, go, go!" Momotaros yells as he charges forward.

Something fast suddenly flies right past Momotaros, as in the next instant all of the Husks are cut down right before the Imagin Kamen Rider's eyes. At the end of hallway, Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates stands up as he takes his third sword out from his mouth and sheaths all three of them away.

"Finally, some real fighting to do." Zoro says.

"Huh?" Momotaros says frozen in place with his sword raised above his head.

"Hey, you bastard!" he then yells in an angered voice as he slams his left foot onto the ground and throws both of his arms down. "This was my spotlight moment, not yours!" he shouts, taking a step forward and pointing at Zoro as the swordsman just turns and looks at him.

On a walkway Aragon swings his sword diagonally downward cutting another Husk, spinning around and raising it up sideways to block another Husk's attack as he pushes the Husk away and cuts it down its back. A few feet to his left, Kamen Rider Ichigo punches a Marauder across the face sending it into a wall, Ichigo ducks under the claw of another Husk and as he gets back up he throws an inside crescent kick across the Husk's face sending it twirling around to the ground.

A male Water Tribe nonbender cries out in terror while on the ground, raising his hands up as a Husk rushes him with its right claw pulled back to strike. Before it could do so however a pixelated-like chain-bladed weapon strikes the Husk taking it down, the weapon retracting to its owner revealing Yamato Kazakiri, Zyuoh Eagle, and the rest of the Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger.

"Don't go underestimating us!" Yamato shouts as the Zyuohgers charge forward with their weapons drawn.

Booster Gold flies through the air of a highway corridor, below him Coalition troops continue fighting back the Husk horde as the superhero aims his left arm to the side and fires a beam of golden energy. The energy blast impacting into a large group of Husks taking them out as Booster Gold begins dragging the energy beam along the walkway taking out even more Husks; some of them even being sent flying over the edge to the ground below. Wasp fires her stingers rapidly hitting several Husks while she flying in between them; a crystal-tipped energy staff slams onto the head of a Marauder, the Storm Hawk, Piper, spins around while swinging her staff to strike a Cannibal, turning to her left then to fire an energy blast from her crystal as the shot impacts in the middle of two Husks and an Abomination sending them to the ground.

A Banshee suddenly teleports right behind her as it screeches out, Piper turns and cries out when suddenly someone drops from above and cuts down the Banshee's body with a sword. Piper opens her eyes and looks to see as the Banshee's body splits in two and falls to the ground, as Ryu Hayabusa stands up and turns his head slightly to look at her. Piper gives the Dragon Ninja a thumbs up as thanks as he nods back in acknowledgement.

"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon, who was floating above a causeway, shouts as she shoots a holy arrow made of thunder from her, quite literal, handmade bow. The arrow flying into and piercing a Brute as it roars out in pain before toppling over.

"Lightning Talon!" Storm Skyress, who was descending beside Angewoman, shouts as she shoots a beam of electrical green energy from her tail taking out a number of Husks further down the corridor.

Rex Salazar slams his right Smack Hand, as a fist, against a Praetorian sending it crashing into a hallway wall; while nearby two Scions fire their cannons at Ben as Swampfire, who raises and crosses his arms in front of him, as the shots impact into him and explode. The Scions look towards the smoke waiting to see what has become of their target, as it clears it reveals Swampfire heavily torn up, parts of his body no longer there, holes all over, yet after a few seconds his body regenerates back to normal like he hadn't been hit at all. Ben lowers his arms and grins at this as he throws them forward and shoots fire from his hands, lighting the Scions up as they roar out in pain and begin stumbling around a bit before falling to the ground. Elsewhere nearby Edward Elric jumps back, landing crouched low to the ground with his left leg out to the side as he claps his hands together and then places them on the ground. Transmuting the ground before him into sharp, spear-like metal that he uses to skewer a number of Husks in front of him. Avatar Aang jumps and spins through the air, landing and swinging his staff outwards generating a gust of wind that blows a number of Husks in front of him away.

In another hallway two Ravagers fire their cannons at Coalition troops, "Protego!" Harry Potter shouts putting up an invisible shield that blocks the shots.

Morrigan calmly walks forward past Harry as she throws her staff forward, firing a ball of fire from the tip as it travels towards and impacts into the Ravagers, causing a massive explosion that takes them and a number of the Husks behind them out.

Below on a highway, Arya swings her sword over her head and brings it down on a Cannibal taking it out, behind her Connor Kenway throws a roundhouse kick across a normal Husk's face sending it to the side, using the momentum to spin around as he swings his Tomahawk overhead and attempts to strike a Marauder in the head. The Marauder however raises its gun and blocks the tomahawk, to counter this Connor takes out his Pivot Blade and slashes the Marauder across its stomach, pulling his other arm back as the Marauder drops its arms allowing Connor to then slash it across its throat from his right. Making the Marauder turn around as Connor then once again swings his tomahawk from above and embeds it right into the skull of the Husk.

A Kirkwall Guardsman cries out in pain while on the ground, "Medic! MEDIC!" a young, white US Marine calls out for while attempting to keep the man from bleeding out. His bloodied hands over the Guardsman's stomach.

A makeshift wall of various metal containers was being used by the few Coalition soldiers that remained in the section of the hall, as they fired their guns, crossbows, and bows at the slowly approaching horde of Reaper Husks before them. Another US Marine fired his M240B machine gun down the hallway, cutting down normal Husks, Abominations, Cannibals, and Marauders with ease. An Aman Elven archer pops up from behind the crates and releases an arrow as it flies into the left shoulder of a Scion, the Husk flinching from the impact as it otherwise does nothing else to slow it down as the Scion looks back forward and continues marching. A male Quarian Marine pops up and fires his M-9 Tempest submachine gun taking out a regular Husk, the Scion fires its cannon as the Quarian quickly drops back down just barely managing to dodge the three salvo shots. One of the Marauders fires its Phaeston rifle hitting a Wolf warrior in the chest as he falls back dead.

"I need a medic, dammit!" the young US Marine cries out again.

From down the right hallway the UNSC Sergeant rushes in, accompanied by a female Inquisition soldier, and a male Snivvian New Republic soldier as the latter two rush to the aid of their fellow soldiers while the medic drops beside the injured Kirkwall Guardsman.

"I need you to keep applying pressure to that wound Marine!" the Sergeant orders as the US Marine rapidly nods his head and keeps on doing just that.

The Marine Sergeant brings out a canister of biofoam, "This might sting a little but it'll seal your wound up and stop the bleeding." he tells the Guardsman as he begins spraying it over the slug hole.

The Quarian Marine continues firing his gun until he notices something, the Husks in the middle were moving to the sides as if they were letting something through. That something turned out to be a lone Ravager as the last of the Husks at the front moved aside for it make its way forward.

"Ravager!" the Quarian Marine shouts.

The Ravager fires its cannons three times as the rounds fly towards the barricade, "Item Get!" a voice yells out as suddenly a pink armored figure jump flips over and lands in front of the Coalition troops.

"Reflect!" the figure shouts, while getting up and putting his left hand forward, as a translucent barrier appears in front of him.

The barrier absorbs all six shots before reflecting it right back at the Ravager as it impacts, taking it and several other Husks out in a large explosion. The Coalition soldiers are all taken aback by this, while the UNSC Sergeant peeks his head up to see what just happened.

"Level Up! Mighty Jump! Mighty Kick! Mighty, Mighty Action X!"

Emu Hojo, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid throws his right arm forward in the air with his left fist to his hips. The regular Husks and Abominations roar in anger as they charge forward, Ex-Aid drops his arms down "I'll clear this with, No Continues!" he announces while flicking his right hand out to his left.

A pink, digital circle appears around Ex-Aid as a single panel with what looks like some kind of hammer appears above it. Circling around before coming back to the front as the hammer on it forms in real-life before the Kamen Rider who grabs it.

"Gashacon Breaker!"

Ex-Aid brings out his Smash-Slash Hitting Attack Gashacon Breaker in Hammer mode as he jumps forward high in the air, soaring over the more closer Husks as he comes down and slams his hammer onto the head of an Abomination. As the strike lands, a yellow worded, outlined in red and black HIT! appears from the Abomination as it disappears a few seconds later. Ex-Aid spins around hitting another Husk in the back as the HIT! appears again; Ex-Aid turns back to his right and swings upwards knocking another Husk upside its head sending it flying into two Abominations. Ex-Aid raises his hammer and presses the giant pink A button on the side "Ja Kīn!" changing the weapon into its Blade Mode.

Ex-Aid holds it diagonally at the ready as he charges forward. Sideways slashing one Husk on his left, followed by an Abomination on his right sending them to the ground; Ex-Aid turns around and swings his sword again striking a charging Husk as he turns to his right again to diagonally upwards slash another Husk. Every strike once again creates a large, digital HIT! upon impact. All of a sudden a Brute appears right behind Ex-Aid as it lets out a resounding roar. Ex-Aid turns his head but it's too late as the Brute is already swinging its giant claw arm down onto him.

"First Sky Arrow!" Wendy Marvell shouts as she, carried by her Exceed partner Carla, delivers a whirlwind roundhouse kick to the Brute's face.

The Brute falls backwards to the ground, "Thanks for the save, Wendy!" Emu says.

"I'm here to help!" Wendy proclaims while hovering in the air.

The Brute however survives the attack as it begins pushing itself back up, "Let me finish this off. Deal with these Husks, will yah?" Emu asks.

"Right!" Wendy says in agreement as Carla turns her around.

Ex-Aid takes out his Mighty Action X Gashat from his Gamer Driver "Gashun!" and places it into the Kimewaza Slot Holder "Gashat!". Ex-Aid then presses the Holder Switch button "Kimewaza!" digital, video game-like noises begin to emit from Ex-Aid as charges of rather cartoon-like electrical bolts in various colors from blue, to turquoise, purple, pink, and yellow begin to surge outward and into his right leg. His foot then begins to glow light bluish-green as he bends down "Mighty Critical Strike!" Ex-Aid jumps up.

"Wing Attack of the Sky Dragon!" Wendy yells as she swings her arms forward producing large whirlwinds from them.

Ex-Aid lets out a battle cry as he drops towards the Brute with his right foot extended forward, the attack slamming right into the Brute's chest as it roars out in pain before a massive explosion erupts, with the word PERFECT! appearing from it. At the same time Wendy's attack strikes the remaining Husks and Abominations blasting them away before they too explode.

"Kaishin no Ippatsu!"

Ex-Aid comes out from the explosion as he lands on the ground and slides to a stop… right in front of the rest of the horde of remaining Husks.

"Oh… right. You guys are still here." he says.

"Emu-san get down!" Wendy shouts taking notice of this.

"Roar of the Sky Dragon!" she yells releasing her sky roar attack.

Emu turns to see this as he cries out in a panic and quickly drops to the ground. The tornado-like blast slamming into the Husks quite literally blowing them away down the hall as the attack ends a few seconds away.

"Are you alright, Emu-san?" Wendy asks.

"Okay!" Ex-Aid replies with a thumbs up, while still flat on the ground.

The Coalition soldiers at the back are awestruck by what they had just witnessed.

"Holy shit…" the UNSC Sergeant says.

Elsewhere on the Infinity, Sarah Palmer aims her M395B DMR around a pilaster and fires a few shots taking out a Marauder.

"Frag out!" Spartan-IV, Tedra Grant shouts as she lobs a frag grenade down the corridor taking out a few Husks with it.

Lennox fires another burst from his rifle as he looks over his left shoulder "Push up!" he shouts. Looking back forward to resume firing his gun.

Paul DeMarco looks to his right at Carlo Hoya and signals him to move forward, Hoya moving out from behind his cover as he rushes forward while firing a shot off from his M45D Shotgun, pumping it to fire another shell as he gets back cover. A Cannibal fires its arm cannon alongside a Marauder, a Gondor, and Dwarven soldier using their shields to block the incoming shots as the Cannibal continues firing its weapon. Eventually one of the shots strike the Dwarven soldier in his head, killing him instantly as he turns and falls to the ground. Suddenly a crossbow bolt embeds itself right into the same Cannibal's face taking it out.

"Reinforcements from the rear!" Maxwell announces his group's presence as they charge forward.

The close-range soldiers getting up to the front and raising their shields to block the incoming high-velocity slugs.

"Shield wall advance! Everyone else, move up with them!" Erza shouts.

The Husks continue pushing towards the Heroes and Coalition troops, when all of a sudden, a familiar crack appears directly above them as Kamen Rider Gaim drops out from it with his Daidaimaru sword raised. Gaim swings it down striking the back of a Banshee taking her out as she drops to the ground; the Kamen Rider then pulls up on the cutting blade on his Sengoku Driver.

"Soiya! Orange Squash!"

This charges Gaim's weapon up with orange energy as with a battle cry he spins around while dropping onto his left knee, swinging his energized sword as he releases a circular energy strike around him that strikes all of the remaining Husks taking them out in a series of explosions. The Coalition soldiers along with Erza and the others look on, their weapons still raised just in case it wasn't over. Several seconds later Gaim stands up as the smoke begins to disperse and looks around, "It's all clear!" he calls over to them. The soldiers and Heroes stand down.

Gaim rushes over to them, "Nice work Gaim." Maxwell says. Kouta just nods his head.

"Where the hell have you heroes been? Sure could've used your help earlier." Palmer says.

"Fighting throughout this monstrosity you call a ship. If you haven't noticed Commander Palmer, there are Husks all over the place." Cassandra explains.

"Not as much as when this all first started. It seems their numbers are dwindling. Whether it's because they're running out of troops, or they're just gathering to launch a massive assault. I don't want to wait around to find out." Maxwell says.

"Commander Palmer!" the voice of Roland calls out as his avatar appears on a nearby holotank pedestal.

Everyone turns to him as Palmer approaches the AI, "Roland, what's the status?" she asks.

"All good now Commander. We're pushing the enemy back throughout the ship." Roland reports.

"One final push then should do it. We cannot lose this momentum!" Erza says.

"It's not over yet. Husks are still coming aboard. We need to take out those portals they're using to stop all of this." Roland says.

"And how do we do that exactly?" Spartan Madsen asks.

"Glad you asked, Spartan." Roland says as he then brings up a holo-image of the dimensional wall in the hangar beside him. "These portals are being powered by two towers, one on either side. Cerberus Phantoms managed to plant them and when they died, the towers uncloaked themselves and activated causing this whole mess. The rest of our forces on Infinity are pushing to destroy the other four portals. You guys and several other companies are going to make a push for the portal in the hangar bay, take that one out. We take out these portals, we stop the attack."

"Good to hear." Palmer says as she turns to face the others, "Alright ladies you heard the AI. Let's get these bastards off our ship!"


A number of holovids circle around the Chancellor's podium, every single one of them showing Reaper forces from a Reaper ship, to a Destroyer, to Husks, all of them causing destruction and chaos. The members of the Republic Senate watched in terror as this was shown; while strangely, Chancellor Palpatine had more of a rather creepy smile and glare on his face. Eventually all the holovids disappeared, and Palpatine's face changed immediately to a more fitting horrified expression. He looked down to Shepard, "Commander I must say. That was rather horrifying to watch. I know it may not mean much, but you and your people, as does the rest of the multiverse, have my condolences for all that you have lost thus far." Palpatine says in a solemn tone.

"Thank you, Chancellor." Shepard says.

"I'm sure you care very much..." Shepard mentally adds in his head in a sour tone.

He looked back out to the rest of the Senate, "What you saw, are what the Reapers are capable of. Entire civilizations, more advanced than ours, have fallen to them. And now, they threaten not just our galaxy, but yours, and every other universe out there. They will not stop, they will not rest, until every sentient race across the multiverse, no matter how advanced, no matter how primitive they are, has been harvested, and exterminated. No one will be safe. We possess the only means of putting a stop to the Reapers, and they have the final key to it. So I plea, and urge you, members of the Republic Senate. Please, consider helping us. Join us, join forces with the rest of the multiverse so we can put a stop to the Reaper threat before it is too late!" Shepard finishes speaking.

The various Senators and Representatives turn and talk amongst one another.

"Here we go…" Anakin quietly says knowing things were about to get interesting. And they were…

"And should we help you in dealing with these "Reapers", Commander Shepard. What would the Republic gain in return?" Neimoidian, and Trade Federation Senator, Lott Dod, questions as his pod comes out to question Shepard.

Chief, and Troy all looked to the Neimoidian, "What do you mean?" Shepard asks furrowing his brows.

"It is exactly how it sounds, Commander Shepard. If the Republic helps you, what would you give them back in return as gratitude? Fighting one war is not cheap Commander, fighting two? Those are valuable resources being spent trying to fight in two wars."

"Have you no compassion Senator Dod?!" Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan questions as his pod hovers to the center of the chamber. "Did you not just witness what the Commander showed us? Can you for once put your greedy business dealings aside and see the bigger picture here? If those Reapers were to attack us, in the state we are in now, we would have no means of stopping them from wiping out our galaxy! We must act! We must join forces with the Commander and his Coalition and put a stop to them!" Senator Organa says looking to the rest of the Senate.

"How dare you Senator Organa!? I care very deeply for the citizens of the Republic, of the entire galaxy! Which is why I am concerned for how costly waging two wars could be for the Republic. Unless of course the Commander could in some way compensate for the Republic assisting him in his personal war." Lott Dod says.

"Personal war?! The Reapers are a threat to every life across the multiverse! This isn't a personal war; this is a war for survival! All of our survival!" Shepard angrily declares.

"These Reapers have yet to attack our "universe", so why should we join this fight? You said so yourself, they will attack us eventually. But when, you do not know. It could be tomorrow, it could be next week, perhaps they may even attack us years from now when the Clone Wars has ended. If that were the case, by then we would obviously have no war to worry about. Our galaxy would be united, and when united, we would obviously stand a much better chance at defeating the Reapers then compared to now." Senator Dod says.

"And by then they could have harvested hundreds, maybe even thousands of other universes. Their numbers would be infinite. For every life they take from us, that's one more Husk for their army. For every life we lose, that's one less person left to fight back against the Reapers. Our weapon is the only thing capable of destroying all of the Reapers and their Husks! And yes, I don't have an answer for when they'll attack your universe, but neither do you. It's as you said, they could attack tomorrow, they could attack next week. What happens if the Clone Wars goes on for too long? What if by the end of it all, both sides become exhausted from the constant fighting? What happens when the Republic barely has any Jedi or Clones left, what happens when the Separatists barely have any droids left? And what happens if the Reapers launch their invasion right after it all? You claim a united galaxy could fight back the Reapers, but what happens if it's a united galaxy just immediately after the end of the Clone Wars? You would barely have any troops left to fight the Reapers at all!" Shepard states.

"Do you not have enough allies? Are there no other universes you could go to for aid? Universes that are not already embroiled in their own wars?" Senator Dod questions.

"If I had the choice, I wouldn't have come here during your period of crisis. It was not my choice to come to this universe. I was forced down here by my enemy, who is at this moment with the Separatists. Most likely persuading them to join this conflict in aiding the Reapers in destroying us! I would not have brought the Republic into my war if I had a choice. Unfortunately, circumstances have changed. Our combined Coalition is made up of factions that have already been dealt devastating losses by the Reapers, we need everyone we can get. Especially since the Reapers are gathering their own allies, which your Separatists might end up being a part of. And if they do join, having the Republic military, who has first-hand experience in dealing with their droid armies would be most helpful if we are to win this war." Shepard says.

"If the Separatists are indeed getting involved with the Reapers, then now would be a good time as any at launching a full scale invasion on their homeworlds! From what I have heard, we have their Supreme Commander, General Grievous captured! With him out of the picture, and their forces spread thin due to them assisting the Reapers, now would be the best chance we have at putting a quick end to the Clone Wars. Let us keep our forces, mobilize them all and prepare to launch a major offensive against the Separatists lines! We could very well see an end to this war within the week!" Senator Orn Free Taa proclaims.

"And that's if the offensive succeeds, but there's also the possibility of it failing." Senator Riyo Chuchi of Pantora says as she comes forward. "Even then, if what the Commander said before was true, if this Cerberus is trying to gain control of the Reapers and the Separatists help them in destroying the Commander and his Coalition. Then we risk the Separatists also gaining control of the Reapers! They could use that power to destroy everything we fought for, even if we do manage to defeat them. They could undo all of that! Make our sacrifices mean nothing! We cannot risk such a thing happening, we must join forces with the Commander!"

"Need I remind you all that our Clone forces are spread thin enough as it is." Senator Mee Deechi of Umbara speaks up. "As much as I would wish to aid the Commander in his fight against the Reapers as they are indeed a threat to us all. We also run the risk of the Separatists seeing this the way we do. You say your enemy is with them, most likely convincing them to join the side of the Reapers. But how do we know for sure they will actually do that? They could anticipate this and actually decline to join. Then our roles are switched, instead of the Separatists spreading their forces too thin, we would do that to ourselves, allowing them to launch a major offensive against our homeworlds. Allowing the Separatists to win the war while the majority of our forces are off fighting the Reapers."

The members of the Republic Senate began to talk amongst themselves once more. Both sides were making valid points; joining the fight against the Reapers would guarantee that their galaxy would not have to worry about such a threat sometime in the future, nor the threat of the Separatists possibly gaining control of them to use against the Republic. On the other hand. Waging two wars would be very costly, not just in terms of economics, but troops as well; and should the Separatists actually not join the fight they would risk them launching a full scale invasion of Republic territory while they are weak, unless the Republic did it first since there was the possibility of them joining forces with the Reapers and weakening their forces. Shepard could sense that they were divided, as could Obi-Wan, Anakin, Chief, and Troy; it could go either way at this point.

Shepard knew Saren, and he had a feeling that Count Dooku, as well as Sidious saw an opportunity with the Reapers. They would not stay out of this war. If they gained control of the Reapers, it could accelerate the creation of his Galactic Empire more quickly, it would help Sidious destroy the Jedi more faster, and more easily. Not to mention with the Reapers under his control, he would be able to put down any future rebellion with extreme ease. He needed to gain the support of the Republic.

"Senator Dod." Shepard speaks up while crossing his arms, catching everyone's attention. "You asked what I could give back to the Republic in return for them helping me. Unfortunately, I'm just a common soldier. So I don't have a say in what my higher ups would do to repay the Republic for their act of kindness in helping us. Our galaxy lies in ruin, so I don't even think we would have a whole lot to pay you back with. But as a representative for my people, my galaxy, perhaps I could promise you this." Shepard leans forward as he plants his hands on the edges of the pod.

"Our payment for the Republic helping us, would be giving you a future to look forward to!" Shepard states.

"That is what the Republic would get in return for helping you? That is-"

"From what I've gathered so far, you seem to be more of a businessman than an actual politician. Senator Organa even called you one. What are you a Senator for?" Shepard says leaning back up and crossing his arms.

"I speak for the Trade Federation. We are an interstellar shipping and trade conglomerate, a very important one as well. But even during these times of crisis, we faithfully serve the Republic. Save for of course when the Separatists buy from us but in a legitimate manner." Senator Dod explains.

"So you're a corporate organization. Tell me Senator Dod, do you want the Trade Federation to continue to flourish in the years to come? Because if we don't destroy the Reapers, then you could say goodbye to your organization, because no one will be left alive to continue to use it! All the riches in the galaxy, won't save you from the Reapers. They'll tear your Trade Federation apart just like everyone else. Is that what you want?" Shepard asks.

"Well… no. But…" for once in his life, Senator Lott Dod found himself speechless. He had no idea what to say to counter what the Commander had just spoken. Something which many of the Senators immediately took notice of.

"That's what I thought." Shepard says as he turns his attention to the rest of the Senate.

"As for the rest of you, do you have a family? Or close friends who have a family? Children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews? What I am asking for is a lot. And it is true, there may be a chance that the Separatists don't join the Reapers. But are you willing to take that risk? Should you decide not to help us know this, we will try and defeat the Reapers for you. But if we fail, know that it will only be so long until they eventually reach your universe. They may come while the Clone Wars rages on, they may reach it long after it is over, the Separatists may take control of them and use them to destroy you. But whenever they do come, they will have a force that will greatly outnumber your own, even if you do prepare for them. And they will use everything they've got to destroy what you hold most dear. Your worlds, your people. Men, women, children, no one will be spared from their genocide. They will ravage your worlds, burn them until there is nothing left, no trace of your civilization, no trace of your people, just ruins. Is that what you want to put your children through? Or your children's children should they not attack in your lifetime?"

The members of the Republic Senate all stare at the Commander; Even Chancellor Palpatine had an intrigued look on his face. Around Shepard, hovercams broadcast the whole thing across the Coruscant for billions of people to see.

"Across the multiverse, more people than you can count have already had to experience this horror. Lives shortened; lives taken before they can even begin! Is that what you want for your galaxy?"

"And what about all the other universes out there just like you? There are probably hundreds, thousands, maybe even billions more universes out there who have yet to suffer the atrocities of the Reapers. For all we know, they could be living completely peaceful lives, free of conflict, with a bright future to look forward too. What about their children? Just because they aren't a part of your galaxy makes them an exception? An acceptable casualty?! Right now, the Republic has a chance to make a difference. To save the lives of not just your people, your children, but the lives of every living being across the multiverse! Will people remember you for it? Only those who know about what's going on will. Should it matter? No. Because we are fighting a different war, compared to all the other wars ever fought in the history of any universe. We are fighting for the survival of every, living being, across every universe. We're fighting for your people, my people, Master Chief's people, Troy's people, we are fighting for everyone! So that we can all have a future to look forward to!"

At this the entire Republic Senate erupts into a roar of cheers and applause, save for a rather few, annoyed members. Those being Senator Lott Dod of the Trade Federation, Senator Gume Saam of the Techno Union, and Senator Nix Card of the InterGalactic Banking Clan; who just slowly clapped their hands.

Republic Judiciary Central Detention…

A Republic gunship approached the hangar of the prison. Flying inside for several feet and turning sideways, the gunship touched down as three Jedi approached it. The side doors opened up, revealing four Clones surrounding the cuffed General Grievous and Asajj Ventress as the two walked out followed by the Clones.

"Welcome to the Republic Judiciary Central Detention you two." Jedi Master Kit Fisto casually greets as he, Master Saesee Tiin, and Master Eeth Koth stop a few feet from them. "I hope you enjoy your stay; it will be a very, very long one for the both of you."

"I'm afraid I cannot allow that." a voice echoes all around catching the Jedi and Clones' attention.

The Jedi sense immense danger and turn around as a red portal appears in the air, from which Saren Arterius and four Commando droids drop out from it as it disappears. Saren takes a few steps forward and stares at the Jedi.

"What?! Where did he come from?" Eeth Koth questions as he and the others activate their lightsabers.

The Commando droids charge forward as they fire their blasters, the three Jedi Masters block the incoming laser bolts while the Clones rush up to their sides and fire on the droids. One of the Commando droids is shot multiple times taking it out, the Clone crouched beside Saesee Tiin fires his DC-15S until he is shot in the head alarming the Iktotchi Jedi Master. Kit Fisto jump flips into the air and comes down at one of the Commando droid's, slicing its body down the center as it falls apart. Another Clone behind Eeth Koth is shot dead as Master Koth holds his left hand forward, using the Force the send the Commando droid in front of him flying into the other droid taking them both out.

Saren shakes his head at this, "And I thought the Geth were useless…" he says as he begins approaching the Jedi.

"Stop in the name of the Republic!" Saesee Tiin orders while pointing his lightsaber at the Turian.

Saren powers up his biotics and raises his right hand while curling it into a fist. Mass effect fields surround the two remaining Clones as they are suddenly lifted into the air causing them to panic, Saren then throws his right hand out to the side, sending the Clones flying into the wall knocking them out. The three Jedi are taken aback by what they had just witnessed as they turn back to face Saren.

"So, you three are Jedi? Let us see what you are capable of." Saren questions as he shifts into his Husk form.

A Scion falls to the ground dead, Krem runs over the fallen Husk and comes to a stop as he looks back, "Come on!" he shouts before continuing forward.

Normal Husks and Abominations continue charging forward, while Cannibals, Marauders, and Scions are actually moving backwards instead while continuing to fire their weapons. Down the hallway Coalition troops continue to slowly push forward, forcing the Husks back. Grunt fires his shotgun wildly, taking out several Husks, Iron Bull runs past the Krogan and swings his greataxe taking out another Scion. Hawk, Dove, and Iron Fist engage multiple Husks in close quarters combat, while VulEagle jumps forward through the air and tackles a Cannibal to the ground, the two roll across it until the Red Sentai is on top of the Husk as he punches it in the face.

"Luna, Metal!"

Kamen Rider Double changes into his LunaMetal form as he swings his Metal Shaft which extends outwards like a whip, allowing him to strike multiple Husks sending them to the ground as they explode. As the explosion dies down, the dimensional wall is revealed to be on the other side of them as Double takes notice of it.

"Hey, there's the portal!" Double/Shotaro shouts.

Iron Fist lets out a battle cry as he jumps in the air towards the left tower, channeling his chi into his right fist to create his signature iron-powered fist as he slams it into the machine destroying it. This seems to weaken the dimensional wall greatly as it begins to fade, however a few Husks do still manage to come through.

"Fire!" Krem shouts as several Coalition gunners fired their weapons taking the Husks out before they can do much.

Grunt tosses his shotgun aside as he simply rams into the right tower headfirst, toppling it to the ground as the dimensional wall finally fades from view. The sight of this causes the Coalition troops in the hall to begin cheering as several of them raise their weapons into the air.

"HAHAHA~! Now that's how you use your head correctly!" Iron Bull joyously says as he helps Grunt back onto his feet.

"Hehe~. Yeah it is. The fun way!" Grunt says while punching his left hand.

"Dai~ Setsudan!" Kamen Rider Amazon shouts as he delivers his rider chop finisher to the right dimensional wall tower generator, destroying it.

As off to the left, "Flower Cannon!" Lillymon shouts, firing an energy shell from said weapon destroying the other tower. Putting an end to the dimensional wall in the Forest Park atrium as the Coalition soldiers around them begin to celebrate.

"The Dimensional Wall on Deck 14 has been cleared, Captain. And our troops and heroes are finishing things up on Deck's 3, and 90. All that remains now is the one in Hangar 11." Roland reports.

"Let's move! Come on, let's go!" Spartan DeMarco shouts while ushering troops forward.

Two Marauders back up out of the doorway leading into the hall when they are cut down by a volley of Coalition projectiles. Sarah Palmer, and Majestic at the lead, the Coalition troops rush into the hangar weapons ablazing cutting down a number of Husks before they can react. Up on the far right walkway, a few Husks are shot multiple times and sent over the railing, as from the doorway the Arbiter, Loonatics, and Ratchet and Clank appear along with more Coalition soldiers. A US Army soldier fires an AT4 while a Turian fires a Cobra Missile Launcher, both shots impacting into a Brute taking the hulking Husk out; while a squad of New Republic, Batarian, Sangheili, and Plumber soldiers light up a Ravager. A Gondor soldier slices the throat of a Husk, while a Kirkwall Guardswoman drives her longsword through the stomach of another Husk.

Palmer fires her DMR from behind some crates as she then looks off to her right, "Take out those towers!" she shouts.

Erza swings her sword decapitating an Abomination, while Gaim crosses and raises his two sabers to block a melee attack from a Scion. Gaim then throws the Scion's arm cannon aside and thrusts both of his weapons into the Husk taking it out. Both of them then charge forward towards the dimensional wall, cutting down any Husks that get in their path; once close enough both Gaim and Erza stop and jump in the air.

"Requip!" Erza shouts as she is engulfed in an aura of golden light which dies down a second later revealing her new armor appearance, "Piercing Armor!"

Gaim meanwhile pulls up on his cutting blade, "Soiya! Orange Squash!"

Gaim extends his right foot forward as it is engulfed by orange energy, while Erza thrusts her Jousting Lance forward. Both of them letting out battle cries as they fly towards the two dimensional wall towers and slam their respective attacks into them. Causing the towers to explode as the dimensional wall fades away.

"The portal's down! Let's finish this!" Gabriel Thorne shouts.

The reinvigorated Coalition troops push on, those with guns shooting down Husks left and right, those with magic and bending blasting more Husks away, while those with close quarters weapons cut down Husks rapidly. A Banshee screeches at an approaching Ratchet and Ace Bunny, the two heroes swing their respective weapons forward as Ace cuts the left leg of the Banshee while Ratchet hits the right knee. Causing the Banshee to collapse face forward to the ground; the Banshee pushes its head up as it screeches again, only to be silenced as Thel 'Vadam drives his energy sword through the Husk's head killing it. Thel pulls his blade from the Husk as he raises it into the air and lets out a victorious roar, one which is echoed from the other nearby Sangheili, with even the Krogan joining them; while the few Lion Tribe warriors let out a mighty roar themselves, and the Wolf Tribe warriors howl.

"This is Palmer, Hangar 11 is clear. What's the status, Roland?" Sarah asks contacting the AI.

Up on the bridge, Lasky and the crew wait in absolute silence as they look at Roland, waiting for an answer. Roland scanned through every inch of the ship to make sure there wasn't anything he was missing, no more Husks, no more dimensional walls, anything! After several more seconds of silence he turned to Lasky.

"Infinity has been clear!" he says.

Hearing this causes the entire bridge crew to erupt in applause and cheers, Lasky lets out a huge sigh of relief as he closes his eyes and looks to the ground.

"Roland, send an all clear to Admiral Hackett. Tell him we got the situation under control." Lasky says.

"Yes sir, right away." Roland says with a huge smile on his face.

Lasky walked over to the holotable and rested his hands on the edge, even as his crew celebrated around him, a solemn expression remained on his face. They won the battle, and prevented the Husks from doing any major damage to the Coalition… but at what cost?

Back on Coruscant…

"The votes are in…" Chancellor Palpatine announces as he and his Vice Chair look at one another. Palpatine looks back up "Commander Shepard. You and your Coalition, shall receive aid from the Galactic Republic."

The entire Senate once again erupts into a roar of applause, Shepard closes his eyes and lets out a sigh of relief.

"We will begin mobilizing our troops. The first batch of your reinforcements will be available within the hour. As the Jedi would say, may the Force be with you…" Palpatine says.

Shepard, Chief, Troy, Anakin, and Obi-Wan walk down the halls of the Senate Building, "Well, that was certainly something." Obi-Wan says.

"I don't even need to be a Jedi to sense that Chief wanted to punch the living lights out of that Senator Dod." Troy says.

"This is why I wish to avoid politics." Chief says.

"So a corporate organization has a seat among your Senate?" Shepard asks Obi-Wan.

"It's… complicated." Obi-Wan says.

"Even though we know full well those guys, along with the Techno Union, and Banking Clan fully support the Separatists and are even a part of them!" Anakin angrily says.

"Again, it's complicated." Obi-Wan says.

"Senator Amidala!" Anakin says in surprise as he stops, the others noticing the Naboo Senator as they come to a stop as well.

"Greetings again, Master Skywalker, Master Kenobi." Padmé says as she then looks to Shepard, "Commander Shepard right? I don't believe we properly met. I'm Senator Padmé Amidala, of Naboo. Master's Skywalker and Kenobi are actually close friends of mine."

"It's an honor to meet you Senator. This is Master Chief, and Troy Burrows." Shepard says introducing the two.

"A pleasure. I must say Commander, you say you are a soldier. But I've never seen a soldier handle politics like that before." Padmé compliments.

"I guess you could say I'm a special kind. Politics wasn't my thing growing up, hence why I became a soldier. But a lot of recent events have basically turned me into this. A politician soldier, you could say." Shepard says.

"If I am being honest, and you didn't hear this from me. But you are a far better politician than half of the Republic Senate is. And that's saying something since you're primarily a soldier. But perhaps that is what makes you a great politician." Padmé says.

"Well, I'm not really trying to do that. I'm just trying to fight for what I believe is right." Shepard says as he crosses his arms.

"Your speech definitely gave me that sense about you. But that's what makes you better than half of the Republic Senate. While many are just in it for the power, and riches, there are unfortunately very few like myself, who are in it for the people. It is one of the reasons why this war in our galaxy has still gone on. If this war wasn't going on, if our people were more united, perhaps we could have made an even larger difference in helping you fight the Reapers." Padmé says.

"Some help is better than no help at all, Senator. I'll take whatever the Republic can give me. I understand your situation. I only wish there was more I could do to help." Shepard says.

"I suppose… Well, I best be on my way. I only came by to wish you luck, all of you. After all, I have a feeling the Chancellor is going to send his two best Jedi for sure in helping lead the Clone army into battle against these Reapers." Padmé says.

"Yeah, that was pretty much decided from the start." Anakin says.

"Stay safe, all of you. And may the Force be with you." Padmé says as she and her guards take leave.

"Well then, looks like it's time to regroup with the others." Anakin says.

The gunship carrying the group from the Senate Building approaches the Resolute. Inside the hangar, the rest of Shepard's team, along with Ahsoka, Rex, and Cody stand waiting next to the TARDIS. The LAAT/i makes its landing nearby as the doors open, allowing Shepard and his group to exit as they begin walking over to the others.

Ahsoka spots them as she runs up to Anakin, "Master, we just heard what happened!" she excitedly says.

"That's right Snips, you got your wish. We're joining the fight against the Reapers" Anakin says with his arms crossed and a smile on his lips.

"Hell yeah, another score for the good guys!" James says as he and the others walk up behind Ahsoka.

"Doctor, is the TARDIS fixed up?" Shepard asks the Time Lord.

"Yep, she is all ready to go again!" the Doctor says.

"By the way, Master Yoda plans on sending Master's Windu, Luminara, Secura, and Plo to assist us in the fight as well." Ahsoka says.

"Not as many Jedi as I would hope, but I suppose it will have to do. After all, we can't be spreading ourselves too thin as the Senate pointed out. Nor do we want to risk losing too many Jedi fighting the Reapers. Sending a few of our strongest should make up for it though." Obi-Wan says with his left hand to his beard.

"As I said, we'll take what we can get. It's better than nothing." Shepard says.

"Well then what are we waiting for? Let's fire up that universal portal and-"

"Generals!" the voice of a Clone calling out cuts off Tali.

Everyone turns to see a single Clone trooper running up to them as he stops and salutes, "Sirs, there's been a situation."

"What is it, trooper?" Anakin asks with a concerned voice.

"It's the Detention Center sir. It was attacked by an unknown alien and four Commando droids. General Grievous and Asajj Ventress have escaped!"

"What?!" Anakin shouts with anger in his voice.

Ahsoka and Sora looked at one another, Obi-Wan was shocked as were the others.

"How did they escape? Who rescued them?!" Anakin questions the Clone.

"We don't know sir, again, it was an unknown alien. As for how they got in, they just appeared from some kind of portal." the Clone explains.

"Saren!" Shepard says with furrowed brows now getting a feeling on who it was.

"What happened to the guards protecting them?" Anakin asks.

"There were four Clones escorting them from the ship, three Jedi Masters were to meet them at the prison to tighten security. Generals Fisto, Tiin, and Koth. As soon as they arrived, the enemy appeared and attacked. Two of the Clone escorts were killed, the other two were injured. As for the Jedi, they were critically injured. They should survive, but it was pretty bad. The alien just walked up beside them, and then just teleported away using the same portal." the Clone finishes.

"Well, that's good at least." Obi-Wan says, glad to hear his fellow Jedi and some of the Clones were at least okay.

"Good? Obi-Wan, Grievous and Ventress escaped! After all that hard work!" Anakin angrily states.

"Patience Anakin, we will get them again." Obi-Wan says.

"He's right." Chief says putting a reassuring hand on Anakin's right shoulder, "If Saren rescued them, then this confirms that the Separatists have been recruited by Cerberus for the war. Which means it's a most likely guarantee that those two will be there during the final battle."

"Chief's right Master, we'll have another chance at catching them there. Along with Dooku." Ahsoka says.

Anakin calms himself down as he breathes in and out, "Yeah… you're right. Sorry about that." he apologizes.

"It's alright, I would have been pissed myself if something like that happened. Just need to move past it. Now then, let's get back to my universe." Shepard says.

Shepard's Universe…

Planet X...

A large, blue universal portal opens up above Planet X. From it, a fleet of Republic ships began to emerge that included Pelta-class frigates, Charger c70 retrofit Consular-class cruisers, Arquitens-class light cruisers, Acclamator-class transgalactic military assault ships, and more importantly, Ventator-class Star Destroyers.

"This is Admiral Yularen of the Republic Navy, broadcasting on this channel provided to me by a Commander Shepard. Does anyone read me?" he asks standing at the command bridge of his ship.

"This is Admiral Hackett, of the Systems Alliance Fifth Fleet. We've been notified of your arrival. Welcome to the fight."

The TARDIS materializes aboard the Infinity.

"I think you're really gonna like these people." Sora tells Ahsoka as the two, along with the majority of the team, head towards the doors.

Shepard, Chief, and the Doctor remain behind at the control console, "Still think this is a good idea Shepard? Having the two Republic's meet?" the Doctor quietly asks.

"Bit too late to go back on it now, Doctor. We're just going to have to hope for the best." Shepard says.

"Shepard!" Ashley calls out from the doorway, attracting the attention of the three as they look over to her. And notice the panicked look on her face, "You may want to take a look at this." she says turning back and exiting the TARDIS again.

Alarmed by this, Shepard, and Chief look at each other as they along with the Doctor rush to the doors. The three run out and move to the front of the others, coming to a stop as they become absolutely shocked by what they see.

Coalition soldiers were at work, clearing out the damaged hangar as bodies from the various factions, as well as Husks were strewn throughout the place. Damaged ships, knocked over containers, as well as several other pieces of equipment were also scattered all over the room. Wounded soldiers were being gathered near the back, and were immediately being tended to by mages, and medics.

"I don't suppose this is the normal sight here?" Obi-Wan questions, though already knowing the answer.

"What happened?" Po questions with wide eyes.

"I would think the bodies of the Husks that cover the room, would provide the answer we seek." EDI says.

"Commander Shepard." the group look to their right to see Maxwell Trevelyan approach them.

"Trevelyan." Shepard says walking up to him, "What happened?"

"It's as it looks, Shepard. We were attacked by the Husks. Captain Lasky told us about what happened aboard the TARDIS. It seems that a small group of those Cerberus Phantoms snuck aboard during your last drop-off. Planted these machines throughout the vessel that opened five of those dimensional walls that your Kamen Rider Decade uses. Took out the phantoms but then the machines activated, and before we could realize what was going on, the Husks were on us. Forced us back quite a bit before we were able to regroup and push them back. Destroyed the machines, put a stop to the attack." Maxwell turns and looks over to the wounded. Some of them looked like they were in some serious pain as the mages and medics did what they could to help them.

"We suffered many losses. We're… still trying to figure out how many. Including the wounded." the Inquisitor lowers his head in sadness and goes silent. The others continue to look on, including the Jedi and Clones.

Maxwell turned his attention back to the group and took notice of the new arrivals. He approached them, "I suppose you're our next group of heroes, and allies?" he asks.

"The three of us are the "heroes", of our universe. So we've been told." Anakin says.

"We did not come alone. We have our military forces arriving as well." Obi-Wan says.

"I see. Well, at least there's some good news that will come out of today... My apologies for my behavior, I hope you understand." Maxwell says.

"We understand greatly." Obi-Wan says.

Maxwell nods his head, "If you'll excuse me. I must get back to helping the others. Let us hope, we can properly introduce ourselves later." he says as he back walks a few steps before turning and walking away.

The Inquisitor then passes by someone in black clothing with a dark belt who comes to a stop several feet away, staring towards the group. Anakin senses something strange and looks in the direction the Inquisitor walked off in, to see a young man, around his age, with blond hair staring at him. Seeing this Anakin furrowed his brows in confusion, wondering who the young man was, and why he was staring at them, more specifically him? And why was he getting a strange feeling, like he knew him from somewhere? Finally the young man begin to approach; Shepard took notice of this, and realized who it was, as did the Doctor as he leaned against his TARDIS with his arms in his coat pockets.

"Anakin Skywalker?" the young man asked.

Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka, along with the rest of the team turned to the man.

"Yeah? I'm sorry, do I know you from somewhere?" Anakin asks with his left eyebrow raised.

"Not really. It is… complicated after all. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Luke, Luke Skywalker."

Anakin's eyes widened, as did Obi-Wan and Ahsoka's as the two turned to look at him. Anakin looked at them, and back at Luke.

"I'm your son."

Many Hours Later…

Shepard stands alone in a hangar before a large number of metal coffins. All of them, engraved with a symbol representing the faction that the soldier inside belonged to. All of them, with a nameplate of the soldier who lied dead inside. Every faction, every one of their allies, had suffered a loss this day. The Systems Alliance, Asari, Turian, Krogan, Salarian, Quarian, Geth, Batarian, Vorcha, New Republic, UNSC, Swords of Sanghelios, Gondor, Rohan, the Elves of Arda, the Inquisition, Ferelden, Orlais, Kirkwall, the College of Enchanters, the Dalish Elves, the Dwarves of Thedas, the Fire Nation, the Earth Kingdom, the Water Tribes, SHIELD, UNIT, NEST, the US, Plumbers, Providence, the Chima Tribes. All of them.

Shepard just stood and stared at all the coffins, everything silent around him. Admiral Hackett then appeared next to him, his hands together, "Don't blame yourself for this Shepard. No one could have seen this coming." Hackett says.

"350... That's how many lives we lost. That's how many men and women gave their lives, fighting to protect the Infinity from the Husks. Fighting to protect their old, and new comrades, their friends. It's my fault. I brought the phantoms aboard, allowed them to plant those devices, to bring the Husks aboard. Every death here is on me." Shepard says.

"And it could have been a lot worse, had you not warned us about Saren. It allowed us to at least prepare our troops for any sort of hostile attack. It allowed us to stop the phantoms from destroying the entire Infinity itself. All hands with it, including your fellow heroes. In total we had exactly 300 wounded. Ten of those 300, didn't make it. But everyone else, they survived. They survived, and are already up and ready for payback because of the combination of magic, and our various medical equipment. Without the people you recruited, and their abilities, or equipment, we could have lost a lot more. And we definitely, would have lost a lot more people, without the aid of your Hero friends. They saved a lot of lives today. Do not blame yourself for this Shepard. Because of your actions, and the people you recruited, we saved a lot of lives today." Hackett says.

"In fact, if this attack proved anything. It shows just how far our forces have come since they started training together. When this all started, there were friendly fires left and right because of our differences in technology and fighting styles. Those with swords, spears, and other close range weapons just charged right in. Made shooting for our people damn near impossible without at least a few friendly fire incidents occurring. People were butting heads left and right, blaming each other for one thing or another, not liking something they did because it was different from what they would do... As expected, our troops were all over the place because of how different we all fought. But over time, that all went away. Any new allies you recruited, brought right up to speed on how we do things a lot more quicker because of how much our troops before had improved working together. Had we attacked Earth with what we started with; things would have gone terribly for us. But now, our forces no matter how different they are; work together, fight together, like they have been allies for years. And from what I've seen, it makes me glad we didn't attack Earth as soon as we finished off Cerberus. With what I've seen from working with and observing our new allies, especially your heroes. Now more than ever, I believe we have a far better chance at victory, then we would have had at any other time. And it's all because of you. You brought us all together, not just a galaxy Shepard. But a multiverse. We're all here, because of you. And we're all going to work together to accomplish one goal, destroy the Reapers, and save all of our homes!"

"These men and women knew what they were signing up for. They were prepared to give their life one way or the other. If you want to honor their sacrifices, to make their deaths mean something… I'm sure you know what to do." Hackett finishes as he smiles at the Commander.

Shepard remains silent as he takes in everything Hackett had just said. Finally he lifts his head.

"Roland."

"Yes Commander?"

"Contact the other leaders." Shepard says as he turns and begins walking away.

"What for Commander?" Roland asks.

Shepard stops and turns to look at Hackett.

"The time has come. We're taking the fight to the Reapers, and we're going to put an end to all of this!"


Just going to get straight to the point. Lots of stuff going on, both in my life, and the real world. Busy with other stuff. Hence why this chapter took forever. Hoping the final ones won't be as long, especially since we're all now under quarantine!

To Gameer98 - I understand you like this story, but could you please refrain from posting too many reviews, especially since some of them are you just repeating the same thing a few times, and not even reviews in general. Understand I have a life with other stuff to do, so please just wait patiently for the next chapter to be posted, it will come when it comes, don't keep asking for an update. Please understand.

Sorry, but I already have big plans for Heroes UNITE! When this is all over, I'm not going to say what it is. But could you please not make anything like it. I believe I said this before, the Master was just a name drop cameo, he's actually not going to be making an appearance.

I understand you want the Old Republic and Jedi to, you know, have no Order 66. But at the moment, as you've read in this chapter. I hope you understand why outing Palpatine would be a very bad idea at the current moment.

Never seen Venture Bros, One Punch Man, Huntik, Monsuno. Played the Uncharted series but Nathan Drake would not work for this story. Spider-Man from Earth's Mightiest Heroes is already in here so it would be pointless to include Ultimate Spider-Man series.

To TienMaD - Sorry, not much of those in this chapter as it was different. Plus, I don't want it to get too repetitive for there to be a romance subplot in EVERY one of these chapters now because of those four being here and stuff. Hope you understand. You should check them out, especially Star Wars the Clone Wars, it's an awesome cartoon series!

To William Hoenicke - Don't really see how I would be able to incorporate a "Best thief in the multiverse" thing with all that's going on at the moment. Plus, Nami is skilled no doubt, but I think there's a rather BIG skill gap between the two. Maybe not that big but pretty big. Not combat no, but in terms of their skills in thieving and stuff.

To leighton000 - Never played StarCraft, played only the first Gears game, so no.

To legosx99 - No, I just don't see Isaac working out here exactly, neither with the Necromorphs.

To Actionmoviefan - They were originally but things changed. Narnia I felt the characters wouldn't work (as they're just normal kids/teens) (I've only ever seen the three movies). The others I had never played/watched the series fully so I didn't know enough about them to include them.

To zaksaurus1 - No Jurassic World.

To CT7567Rules - Well, as of this chapter now you know.

To Starlord Master - No the Skrulls were not recruited.
