"Oh oum please don't make watch that thing." Said Ren.

"Hmm to bad!" Cried Sparta.

Volume 4 Issue 11: Taking Control

Land of Darkness

Salem's Citadel

Training Room 1

With Cinder.

An arcing slash of fire moves across the black screen, quickly followed by another. There is a brief beat before two more fiery arcs slash across the screen. An irregular circle of flame bursts outward from the center, revealing behind the black a panting Cinder.

She is in a large, empty room. Behind her is a darkened arched hallway. On either side of the arch, the walls of the room have a low ledge the bear several burning white candles. Four Beowolves approach Cinder, moving in a semicircle formation. Cinder swings her left arm at them, sending another slash of fire. It cuts through the middle of all four Grimm and they disintegrate away.

Cinder pants again, still upright yet taking a breather. She does not get long, as heavy footsteps approach from her left. She gasps and looks in their direction. A Beringel leaps into the air, ready to deliver a blow to her with its fist. Cinder, however, pulls back her right arm and pushes a ball of flame right at it. It, too, disintegrates.

As its body disappears, Cinder falls to her knees, breathing heavily.

"Enough." Salem said.

Salem walks forward while Cinder continues to struggle for normal breathing.

"I thought you were the girl who wanted power. Did you lie to me?" Salem asked.

Cinder winces on the force of Salem's question before looking upward. Turning to face Salem, Cinder clearly shakes her head negatively.

"Then stop holding back. If you wish to master your new powers, you must –" Salem began until she was cut off.

Salem is cut off by the sound of heavy doors opening. On the opposite end of the stone hall, a sobbing Tyrian enters followed by Millennium who teleported right behind.

"I don't like the looks of this. If millennium has allies he can free his partner." said paradox.

Tyrian falls to his knees once in the room, both hands flat on the floor and his head bowed.

"I'm sorry. She'll forgive me. Pleeeease." Tyrian said softly, raising his hand to his chain as he begged towards the end as he bowed.

"Forgive me..." Tyrian finished.

"Tyrian!" Salem replied, silencing him.

She stands before him. He raises his body but remains sitting on his legs while Cinder rises from the stone floor behind Salem.

"Your task - were you successful?" Salem asked, holding out her arm imperially.

"N-no." Tyrian admitted, bowing his head.

"Disappointing." Said Salem earring a knife that nearly hit her leg.

Cinder's eye widens. Salem also looks surprised for a moment before narrowing her eyes and walking away. Cinder watches their leader for her further reaction without looking at Tyrian.

"But-but hope is not lost! My tail, my stinger... I-I poisoned him, Qrow! He will not be a nuisance to you any longer, no... no longer! I've done that... have I done well? Have I pleased you?"

"Not really." Said Salem catching the next knife in mid air.

Tyrian asked, begging and turning his body to remain facing Salem.

"Who are you?" Salem asked, as she ignored Tyrian.

"Someone who can be your greatest enemy or your greatest friend." Millennium explained.

"Speak." Salem ordered.

"I want Salazar dead, but since there is a Tennyson, I need help. You have a Yamato to take you anywhere in Space, but I..." Millennium explained as he reached into his cloak and to their surprise pulled out a vile that held a single green Nanite.

"Oh god this is not good." Said Ceaser.

"...Can take you through Time." Millennium finished.

"Walk with me... Oh! And, Tyrian... The last eye is blinded...

" what does that even mean? You never did answer that." Said Ken.

you disappoint me." Salem replied.

Salem leaves. Tyrian falls forward, wailing. A Beowolf approaches, all focused on Tyrian's negative emotions. It ignores Cinder and leaps upon him. Tyrian sends it away with a single blow and it lands on its back. Still wailing, Tyrian opens his weapons and leaps atop the Beowolf. He slashes at it repeatedly, tears streaming down his face. His wails gradually turn into laughter as he vents his grief into the butchering of the Grimm. Cinder watches, horrified.

"god He is insane." Said Carol.

Island of Patch

Xiao Long-Rose-Branwen Family Home

With Yang.

Meanwhile outside of her home on Patch, Yang helps spray paints Nero's robotic arm now a weaponized gauntlet-like robotic glove purple. She then goes into a tool shed and takes the tarp that had been covering her motorcycle, Bumblebee, off.

"I don't remember saying that you were ready." Tai said as he leaned against the door with his arms crossed.

" I doubt I would leave out the explanation first." Said yang.

"Oh yeah? You're gonna try and stop me?" Yang asked, without turning around.

"No. I think I'm still too sore after our last fight. I just wanted a better goodbye than a letter. And, I also have a question for you." Tai replied chuckling, earning her attention as she turns around.

"What are you going to do?" Tai asked.

"What do you mean?" Yang asked, confused.

"You could go after Ruby, but by doing so, you'd leave Kirby behind because I know you're not going to let him fight in this war against Salem even if you do understand he's the only one who can stop Nightmare. Or you could wait a few days for your mom to recover enough to open a portal straight to your uncle. So, what are you going to do?" Tai explained.

" The smart thing would be to wait for Raven." Said summer.

" but she could help cover half the distance if I need to recover for a few more days longer than expected." Said Raven.

Yang looks down at the tarp as Taiyang makes his point. She remains gazing down for another couple of beats before looking up at her father. Her eyes narrow in determination, her decision made.

Kingdom of Atlas

Schnee Manor

With Weiss and Snow.

Meanwhile with Weiss, she and Snow steps out of her bedroom, carrying a white suitcase and Myrtenaster. Weiss looks around cautiously, her footsteps loudly resounding in the ornate hallway. She jumps and gasps when Klein appears right behind her. He puts his finger to his lips and shushes her before smiling.

" personally I don't think you should have to sneak around. Your father is very wrong to do this." Said willow.

"Let's go." Klein whispered quietly.

The three move quickly across the carpet, their footsteps muffled. Side by side, they go down the staircase and clickety-clack their way across the entrance hall. They are moving down another hallway when Klein's Scroll buzzes. They both look at it with squinty eyes.

"Master Whitley! I... um... yes, of course. I'll be just a moment." Klein answered on his scroll.

"Head to the first floor library. I'll meet you there." Klein ordered to Weiss with a whisper.

They separate, going in opposite directions. Weiss is soon creeping outside her father's study door when she hears a glass crash followed by the rising voice of James. She crouches behind a cushioned chair against the wall, grabbing Snow, preventing the alien bug from flying away in fear at the sound of her father's voice.

"I'll kill him." Declared Willow.

"You need to control yourself!" Ironwood shouted.

"You're talking to me about control? Do you even hear what you're saying?" Jacques replied.

"I am basing everything on my reports from your daughter." Ironwood stated.

" what did I report?" Asked winter.

"A daughter you stole!" Jacques shouted.

"Oh, we are not getting into that again." Ironwood said.

"Oh, yes, we have far more pressing matters to discuss, starting with your apparent lunacy!" Jacques shouted.

"Jacques!" Ironwood cried.

The scene changes to an overhead view inside Jacques' study. He is seated at his desk while Ironwood has both hands on it, leaning over him from the other side.

Following Ben's Righteous Revenge on Jacques for the latter's attempted murder on Snow, he was shown to have some serious injuries due to Ben's Raging Brutalization which he truly deserved it.

Jacques entire body was burned to third degree burns by Ben's Soul Fire, making him look like Freddy Krueger and making his entire skin itch and constant pain from the burns, his Organic Limbs both Arms were forcefully severed by Ben's Yamato along with his legs, forcing him to get prosthetics.

However, on Jacques's burnt face was not only the Word "Racist" on his forehead marked by the Curse from Palutena's Box, but also he was shown to have 4 claw marks from Ben's SDT Form, which turned into scars that run diagonally across his face and of course avoiding his eyes.

But the most notable part of all was a scarred Schnee Dust Company brand mark across his left eye, which was bloodied with a gray iris and a singed eyebrow, as opposed to his remaining light blue eye and white eyebrow. All thanks to Ben, who is unaware that a certain masked Bull Faunus has this same brandmark on his left eye.

"Holy crap your brutal." Said Blake.

"Winter is one of my best. If she's telling me there's a threat in Mistral then I am not going to take that news lightly. She's been there for weeks, people are mobilizing, sudden spikes in weapons and Dust trades. Portals opening up more than before. Someone is about to make a play and I do not trust Leo

" especially when we know He is a traitor." Said James.

to stop them especially after the history with his son." Ironwood explained, sighing heavily while Weiss and Snow were listening outside.

"You've never trusted anyone other than yourself!" Jacques shouted.

"And for good reason!" Ironwood shouted.

Weiss covers her mouth with her hand as she gasps at the sound of Ironwood slamming his fist onto the desk.

"If Oz had just listened to me from the start..." Ironwood finished.

"You need to get a grip." Jacques replied.

"That's exactly what I'm doing. Our people need protection. By this time next week, the Kingdom of Atlas will be officially closing its borders. Every piece of technology rounded up. Every outsider captured and questioned. But most of all, No one in; no one out. Without the council's permission."

" you're no longer running a kingdom, sounds more like a dictatorship." Said Ben.

Ironwood explained.

"You mean, without your permission?" Jacques asked.

"And if that becomes the case, I would think you'd want to be on my good side." Ironwood replied.

Ironwood walks away from the desk, leaving Jacques to sigh and fold his hands. Outside the door, Weiss hears him coming and uses Myrtenaster to cast a black Glyph onto the handle. Not wanting to take the chance Weiss points at the door giving snow the permission to freeze it. When Ironwood tries to leave, the handle turns but the door will not open, despite him shaking it.

" you made a smart choice in double protection." Said Winter.

"It's locked." Ironwood said.

"What are you talking about?" Jacques asked.

Ironwood steps back and slams into the door, shoulder first. It does not budge. Weiss turns and makes her way down the hall across the carpet while a couple more bangs come from the door.

She reaches the library, which is two story's tall. Bookshelves set into alcoves line the walls of the room on both levels, and the center of the first floor is set with multiple lounges, chairs and low tables. A large rug covers the ground, and a multi-tiered chandelier hangs in the center of the room. There are a few pillars holding up the walkway for the second story with wall candles on each and more in each corner of the room on both floors. A large staircase curves from the upper floor to the center of the ground floor.

"Very nice Library." Said Ben.

"Klein! Klein, where are you?" Weiss asked in a near panic.

A hidden door in the corner opens, revealing Klein.

"Keep your voice down, I told you I'd be here." Klein replied with his eyes now red with an accent.

Weiss rushes over, dropping both sword and suitcase in order to hug Klein with both arms. He returns the hug and his eyes turn back to normal.

"Are you sure Mistral is safe?" Klein asked.

"No, but it's where I'll find Winter." Weiss replied, stepping back and clasping her hands formally in front of her.

"I suppose she and you mother will be the only family you have left after tonight." Klein replied with eyes turned to light brown.

"I'll always have you." Weiss said, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"You most certainly will." Klein replied

"Thank you Klein." Whispered Weiss.

A loud bang from further in the house makes them both look. It is clear that Ironwood has gotten finally out of Jacques' study.

"Klein?! Klein, get down here this instant!" Jacques ordered as Klein's shoulders slump.

"Go, now." Klein ordered.

Weiss grabs her things and goes through the secret passage in the corner of the library. She pauses to turn and look at the butler one more time.

"Thank you, Klein." Weiss replied.

Klein nods and shuts the door.

Island of Menagerie

Belladonna Family Home

With Blake, Sun, and Mordred.

Meanwhil, it is daytime in Menagerie, birds tweet in the trees around the balcony outside Ghira study. Inside, a shirtless Sun lies on the couch, his head propped on the arm and his hands folded over his abdomen. While Mordred lies unconscious on the table since when Ilia shocked him she didn't know he was a baby. The camera slowly pans of his body reveals a bloodied bandage on his left shoulder where Lightning Lash had struck him, as Sun blinks awake. He raises his head with a groan as Mordred unknowingly copies says actions.

"Blake/Human?" the two asked simultaneously.

Blake is revealed to be sitting on a chair across from the couch, her body facing them. Her head is bowed and her hands are folded in her lap.

"This... is why, Boys. This is why I left them all behind." Blake explained.

"What are you... wait, where am I?" Sun asked, sitting up.

" sometimes I worry about him." Admitted Mordred surprising everyone.

"Really?" Asked Sun.

"Yes. I'm afraid you start to get stupid the more you breathe." Said Mordred.

"Obviously at the house ,you stupid monkey." Mordred explained.

Blake gets up and walks over to the couch as Sun looks around in confusion.

"I am done seeing my friends hurt because of me." Blake explained.

"Blake…" Sun said.

"Shut up! Do you think I like being alone? Every day... every day I think about them! Ben, Kirby, Kitty, Laura, Rex, Ruby, Weiss, Yang... they were my friends! I loved them like I never thought I could love anybody. And I hope they hate me for leaving." Blake replied.

"I could never hate you Blake." Said yang.

"Ya. Team RWBY is family!" Cried Ruby.

"we have each other's back." Said Weiss.

"You don't mean that." Sun replied, raising himself up to reach out to he.

"Yes, I do!" Blake cried, forceful enough with her voice that Sun pulls back.

"Then you're a bigger Idiot than the Ocampa! And, they don't believe in the concept of time!" Mordred cried.

"Wow That is stupid." Said Yang.

"Everyone believes they can help me, but they can't! You both Ilia last night and she's not even the worst even though she electrocuted a baby!" Blake cried, holding her hand to her head and sitting down, never knowing that a certain Chameleon Faunus was listening through a listening device hidden in the room.

'I DID WHAT?!' Ilia thought, feeling instantly guilty for shocking Mordred on accident since she didn't know he was about Kirby's age.

"either way my counterpart is dead when he gets his hands on me." Said Ilia.

"No. No more. They're better off without me. I made my choices and I'll deal with the consequences because they belong to me." Blake declared.

"You think you're being selfless, but you're not. Yeah, that chameleon friend of yours got me pretty good. But I'd do it all again if it meant protecting you." Sun replied.

"Clark would probably say something very similar." Mordred added, as Blake turns to face them, surprised.

"Your my aunty so of course I'll help you." Said Kirby.

"And I can promise Yang would say the same." Sun said as Blake turns away, looking down.

"You can make your own choices, sure. But you don't get to make ours. When your friends fight for you, it's because we want to. So stop pushing us out! It hurts more than anything the bad guys could ever do to us." Sun said, sitting up fully, with effort.

Sun looks at the floor and Blake, who had turned to face him, turns away again.

"But, if it makes you feel any better, the next time I go up against Lizard Girl, it won't be for you - it'll be to get even." Sun said.

He attempts to point to his would with his left thumb, but he can not complete the motion and it aggravates his injury. Sun winces in pain and Blake laughs.

"My hero." Blake said.

The door behind Blake, the same one that Sun crashed through the night before, crashes down again. This time it is Kali

"MOM!" Cried Blake.

embarrassing herself through eavesdropping too closely. Behind her, Ghira looks down at his wife on the ground with his hand on his hip while April holding May just blushed at getting seen. Kali pops upward again.

"Oh! Oh dear, would you look at that, he's awake! Thank goodness!" Kali said in an affected tone.

"That is wonderful to hear." April added.

"Girls, please." Ghira said, clearly embarrassed and covering his face with his hand.

"Mom!" Blake cried.

"Hey, Mrs. B!" Sun greeted.

"Did you bring food?" Mordred added.

"Food is life." Said All The Nintendons.

" I swear all of you have a one track mind." Said Ruby.

'Yeah, now I see how he and Kirby get along.' Kali thought before Blake started to talk again.

"What are you doing?!" Blake cried, walking over to her mother.

"Well, sweetheart, your father needed to speak with the two of you." Kali asked.

"Huh?" Blake asked.

A Scroll is set down on the coffee table. It shows a master folder labeled W. F. with six subfolders inside. The subfolders are labeled: Assignment, E.L., P.R., E.W., S. F., Untitled.

"I'm afraid you were right to be suspicious." Ghira said.

"What do you mean?" Blake asked.

"Adam Taurus is planning to overthrow the leader of the White Fang, and stage a full-scale attack on Haven Academy. It would be the Fall of Beacon all over again." Ghira explained.

"Oh no." Said Ozma.

"YES! TIME TO KILL AND EAT THEM ALL!" Mordred declared, getting excited.

Unfortunately for him, in his excited state, he lost control of his powers and disintegrated the table right underneath him sending him to the ground.

"Not my best moment." Said Mordred.

"He's right. we need destroy the White Fang once and for all." Sun said, agreeing with Mordred.

"No. We're not going to destroy the White Fang. We're going to take it back." Blake replied as she stands up, full of decision.

Land of Darkness

Salem's Citadel

The Lab.

With that said, the scene changes to the Lab in Salem's castle which looked more advance than it probably should thanks to Nightmare's technology.

There were tables everywhere with test tubes, beakers, and a lot of scientific equipment, including a large tube-like machine in the center of the room. At the far end, a large computer screen. Across the room to the machine was table with sheets of paper listing Arthur's notes on Vergil's Yamato.

Speaking of the sword, it was held in a glass case that had a pair of jumper cables attached to the hilt and scarred channeling the power into a large gate similar to the ground bridge in Transformers Prime but smaller in Size.

This Large Gate was due to the fact, Science and Technology's Realm was broken into by Nightmare or no doubt all he stole their technology and blueprints, making an enemy out of the two neutral embodiments.

" if they are neutral I doubt we would expect too much help from them." Said rex.

"The Yamato, not the Real Deal, but it'll do." Millennium commented.

Glowing purple, Millennium held out his hands and started to dismantle and reassemble all the technology in the room except for the gateway, making a room seem not only bigger, but more technologically advance especially when he created a pedestal right next to the sword.

Placing the Green Nanite inside, the gateway glew a Dark Blue and Green Color before showing a portal to the world of DC Comics where they saw Superman flying around Metropolis in his patrol.

"I cannot stand that guy, I always preferred Katana." Admitted Ken.

"Cyborg." Said Logan.

"Power girl." Said Ying.

"The god dam Batman." Said Perseus.

"Wonder Woman." Said joan.

"Daredevil." Said Leaf.

"The Flash." Said Mary.

"karate kid." Said Aerith.

"Ghost Rider." Said Angela.

"Wow our kids are nerdy." Said Ben.

"It seems to work for Space, now for Time." Millennium commented.

Fiddling with the controls, Millennium changed the portal screen to the very birth of Rex Salazar, showing that it does indeed work through both Time and Space.

"It works perfectly. With this, maybe I can free my partner." Millennium said.

"Your partner?" Salem asked.

"His name is Eon. He hunts Tennysons while I hunt Salazars." Millennium explained.

" The parallels are becoming far too coincidental." Said Ben.

"Who are you? I don't trust a man who hides his face." Salem asked.

Smirking under his Helmet, Millennium lifted his helmet since the camera shows Salem watching in curiosity.

Naruto Universe

Flower Fruit Mountain

With Ben.

With that said, the camera shifted to flower fruit mountain where Ben was sitting all Alone in the living room of the house enjoying his day off from Sage Training when a portal opened up next to him.

Annoyed about his day being interrupted, Ben was about to push whatever was going to come through when to his shock

"Oh god no." Whispered Ben.

a young Girl with Cold Blue Eyes Long White Hair tied in two tails with dark hair ties wearing her a outfit which consists of a red blazer with a yellow bow tie, a Cyan Blue Hooded Cloak with a Cape fastened to her shoulders by snowflake-shaped pins, a reddish-brown pleated skirt, thick black stockings, and Black Steel-toe Boots wedged heeled and higher at the back than the front.

But her most define feature was a Snowflake necklace that seemed to have a chilling affect.

" of all people why does she have to come?" Asked Ben quietly much to everyone's confusion.

"Samantha..." Ben whispered, shocked, but also happy.

Tilting her head, the now named Samantha looked towards Ben, confused on his identity when she saw the Ultimatrix on his wrist.

"Ben?" Samantha asked, highly confused, soundly like a younger version of Weiss.

" OK this is getting weird. She wears something I would've worn minus the cloak and the different colors." Said Weiss.

" she wears all the clashing colors as an act of defiance against her controlling parents. You could think of her as my version of you except for one major difference." Said Ben.

"What's that?" Asked Yang.

"She is dead. By Vilgax's hand." Admitted Ben.

Pulling her close, Ben started to hug the life out of her, crying the whole time as he ignored the world around him even when Helen and Kitty walked in.

"Ben, who is she? Don't tell me you decided to adopt another kid."

"Still waiting for my kid." Added Helen.

Helen asked, wondering if it could be with her.

"Not Her. This is my old friend, the one I'll never let go again." Ben explained.

Confused, Samantha broke out of the hug just as the portal she came out of closed as she glared towards Ben.

"Ben, what is going on? Why are you older? Is it because of the watch?" Samantha asked.

"Daddy, who is she?" Kitty asked.

"Daddy? When did you have a Kid, Benjamin?" Samantha asked as the room got cold.

"Burrr. I hate when she does that." Declared Ben.

"Adopted. But that doesn't matter because you're not going back. We have 6 years to make up time with." Ben explained.

With a crack of thunder, Death appeared, looking very serious and a little nervous, as this is the time to tell him even if she doesn't want to.

"Ben. There's something you need to know." Death stated.

"I know you're going to tell me that she needs to go back, but there's no way in hell I'm going to allow that. You know what happened." Ben replied.

"She has to go back. There are somethings you don't understand." Death warned.

"No, you don't understand! She died because of me! I gave up the watch because of that,

" so that's why you took off the watch for so long. You blamed yourself." Said Sam in realization.

so no! I'll not let that happen ever!" Ben shouted.

"I… died?" Samantha asked slowly.

"You need to die, the present depends on it." Death stated.

"How? I'm a champion, so I'll be fine." Ben asked, cocky about it.

"You'll never go to Remnant because she never died, and you'll never meet your family." Death explained.

"Oh." Said Ben realizing it.

"you wouldn't be affected but the rest of us word." Said ruby.

" no matter what I lose Something." Said Ben.

Going silent, Ben just stared into Death's eyes knowing that she is serious because even if he is immune to the affects of time, the others are not, so he would never have met Yang, never form Team 10, never adopt his kids, never reunited with every single member of his harem.

"You could bring her back." Helen suggested.

"Ugh! Why do I never think of that sooner?" Asked Ben.

"She reincarnated. You cannot do so." Death explained, destroying his hope.

"That's why." Said Ken.

"Who was she reincarnated into? I know she won't remember me, but I need to see her just once."

"Just once is all I ever need." Said Ben.

Ben asked in a all most dead whisper.

"I cannot tell you." Death lied.

"You will. We had a deal." Light added as she appeared through the door way.

"I know that. I don't know how to tell him." Death replied.

"Tell me what?" Ben asked.

"Before I do, I got this for you. By the way it's real name is Parallax, Darkness had the Dwarves tell you that other name as a hidden message for you." Death explained, tossing Ben the Ring.

"You're stalling." Ben warned.

"*Sigh* Yang has not lived 7 lives, She has lived 8."

"WHAT?!" Cried Yang.

Death explained, shocking all of them.

Island of Patch

Xiao Long-Rose Family Home

Living Room

Before Ben could scream and shout and curse with profanity, the scene shifted to Yang and Rex gathering the kids into the Living room along with Sienna sitting on the couch.

"What do you want, Humans?" Daphne asked.

"Kids. Rex and I are going to be going after Ruby this afternoon. We can't wait for mom to get better which means I'm going to go on ahead in case she has to recover longer." Yang explained.

"At least you Explained things." Said Raven.

"YOU'RE LEAVING ME AS WELL?!" Laura shouted.

"No! No. Now that Ben's awake, Nightmare's going to be making his move especially now that Yang can now kill him like Kirby." Rex explained gently.

"I'm coming as well. Me and Barbara are the only ones on the planet who fought on the front line." Kara added.

"You're just going to sneak off with us, aren't you?" Rex asked.

"Yep." Kara replied proudly.

" you can't expect us to sit out of a fight." I said Daphne.

Kirby becoming sad grabbed Yang's leg as some tears slipped out of his eyes.

"Please don't go, Mommy." Kirby begged.

"Sorry, Baby, but I'll be going after your aunt. I know that you can fight, I truly do. As much as I hate to say it, Daphne can be used to teach you how to use your Ice Copy Ability as well as your culture." Yang replied.

" first intelligent thing you have said." Said Daphne.

"YOU'RE ALL JUST LEAVING ME AS WELL! I HATE YOU ALL!" Laura screamed before she ran up to her room.

"*Sigh* I'll go talk to her, but thank you both for at least telling us instead of taking off. May I ask who else is coming?" Sienna asked.

"The entire Harem group because we can fly, Dante will drive with Vergil, Nero will drive the car with Ragna, Yu and Koan, Bay and Jeanne will fly. I'll be scouting ahead on Bumblebee. We'd take more people, but there's only so much room in Ben's car." Yang explained.

" try not to damage my car if you can, I'd rather not end up like Kevin's." Said Ben.

"Why not take the plane?" Kara asked.

"I doubt people are going to trust any alien technology especially Atlas should we have to go that direction. Besides, we can always call upon them using Raven's semblance through Ben." Rex explained.

Understanding, Sienna got up to Laura's room which was a large room on the third floor which opposed to her chaotic sister was clean and organized with a book shelf holding her comics and her Hat, a toy chest that keeps Ouroboros inside instead of toys. The bed is pushed against the wall opposite the doorway, decorated with pillowcases and a red throw blanket where Laura is hiding underneath said blanket clearly upset.

"Laura, do you want to talk?" Sienna asked.

"No! I hate all of them!" Laura declared.

"And rightfully so." Said Salem.

"Casey used to say "Hate is like drinking salt water. The thirst grows worst." I never understood most of his phrases, but I do understand the important ones." Sienna explained.

" dad always liked to be cryptic." Said Laura.

"Doesn't matter. I hate all of them because everyone leaves me!" Laura declared.

"I understand why you're mad, but you cannot think like that." Sienna replied.

"I wish I was strong, so I could make them all pay." Laura said.

"Then, it's a good thing I'm teaching you. Your father did show me a few things, in fact, come with me." Sienna replied.

Picking her up, Sienna took her niece up to the attic where the case she gave Ben was waiting inside.

Opening the Case, Laura became amazed when she saw a pair of gloves quite similar to the Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, however, instead of two there were three, and on each knuckle, there was a tiger skull as well as one on the Wrist as well as a Pair of twin Pistols inside with one black with the Word "Crystal", and The white one with the word "clear" engraved.

"So that's what happened to those two." Said Salem earning several stairs.

" how many weapons did you make?" Asked raven.

" more than I can keep track of." Admitted Salem.

The pistols resemble Desert Eagles, with stylized grips twisting into sharp points but what made them unique was the lack of a magazine release or any sort of detachable magazines. Near the bore of each pistol are engravings of scrollwork, and each also sports a ring hammer.

"The Claws belonged to your dad. Your father was an amazing martial artist, but always had trouble when it came to armored enemies, so he created these to not only increase his power in his punches, but also so he could be like his personal hero." Sienna explained.

"I am sure you can guess who." Said spring.

"And, the guns?" Laura asked.

"Your mother would mostly use her Chain Semblance, however, she'd also use these guns. No one knows where they came from all, but I know is she found them on mission and has been using it ever since." Sienna explained.

"Why are you giving them to me? I have Hazama's Ouroboros and Guns from Mr. Slade." Laura asked.

"True, but you should always have a backup weapon just in case." Sienna replied.

" I am definitely glad I have those especially the set of guns." Said Laura.

Giving her Aunt a hug, Laura held on tight as she didn't want this moment to end but took one last look at the weapons thinking one thing.

'I need to sneak out and go after them.' Laura thought as she was feeling determined.

"Oh no no no!" Said Ruby.

Continent of Anima

The village of Kuroyuri

With Ren and Nora.

The scene shifted to Ren and Nora running through the abandoned Kuroyuri in desperation.

"Not again, not again..." Ren whispered.

They come to a stop after passing under an arch leading to the center of town. Ren is panting, but Nora is hardly winded. Ren lifts his head and his worried eyes change to ones smiling in relief.

"Oh thank goodness." Said Ren.

In front of them, Jaune Arc and Ruby Rose face the other way, but abruptly turn, Jaune putting his hand on his weapon. Qrow is propped up against the tree.

"What are you guys doing here?" Ruby asked.

"Did you hear that noise? What was that?!" Jaune added.

Ren's eyes grow wide and he falls to his knees, clearly alarmed.

"Oh oum no!" Said Ren.

"No…" Ren whispered.

"Ren! What is it?!" Ruby asked.

The sound of plodding footsteps can be heard coming closer.

"Wait, you guys hear that?" Jaune asked.

"No..." Ren said in weak protest.

"Ren?" Nora asked.

The footsteps come to a stop. A bone horse head breathes loudly, exhaling black smoke. Within the bones are glowing red lights and around it is the black flesh of a Grimm.

Ren lifts his head to see a horse-like creature with an equine main body and a skinless humanoid creature that is fused with it. Its forelegs are shaped like claws and it has hooved hind legs that leave a characteristic hoofprint. The humanoid body has long curved horns on its head, a mouth that looks almost sewn shut, and two long elastic arms each with two clawed fingers. On the back of the human torso are boney spikes along its spine and a variety of weapons from previous battles stuck in it.

When walking on its equine legs, its attached humanoid portion hangs limp to one side, making its arms drag along the ground. Once the equine portion stops to stand still, only then does the humanoid portion of the creature become active, doing so with a spasmodic twitching movement. When enraged, the spikes on its spine lengthen, as do its horns, its pupils become vertical slits, and its mouth opens completely.

This is the monster that haunts Ren's life and was truly responsible for the destruction of his hometown Kuroyuri and its citizens, including his parents, Li and An Ren, The Nuckelavee Grimm.

"Oh ya that's right, I did make that." Said Salem.

"YOU WHAT?! ILL KILL YOU!" Declared Ren.

Ken in response summons a magic wall to prevent ren from attacking.

"Sit your ass down." Said Ken.

The Nuckelavee twitches its head and roars as the screen goes black.

Omake: A Lesson in Elementary and "Be Like Water."

"I like the sound of that." Said Chie.

Naruto Universe

With Ben.

Sitting in the empty Living Room early in the morning, Ben sat on his knees with his back facing a bowl of meat with a smirk as he felt the room getting colder.

Waiting at the last second, Ben created a small electrical pulse that removed a Ectonurite's Invisibility.

The young Ectonurite wore a purple dress with black-striped sleeves with a rope-like bow on her dress front and had short orange hair with a purple bow resting on top. She has stitches covering her faces, arms, and tails.

All in all, she looked like the third sister to Zs'Skayr's twin nieces.

This is Ghosty, Kitty's Ectonurite form.

"AWWWWW!" Screamed Summer.

"Failed again. Start over." Ben said without even looking back.

"Augggghhh! I've been trying to steal that bowl of meat for two hours now, it's gotten cold!" Ghosty complained.

"You need to know how to sneak in and out of places just as you have to fight your way in." Ben explained.

"He is Right." Said Blake.

"But how do you keep finding me?! I've tried Cold Ghost, (Big Chill) Fast Girl, Colors, (Espio/Chamaeleon Faunus) Alien Lizard! (ChamAlien) So, how do you Keep finding me?!" Ghosty ranted.

"Close your eyes. What do you hear?" Ben asked.

"Umm, I hear the Wind outside, I hear the Birds singing." Ghosty explained.

"I hear the Wind, the Birds, I hear Helen taking a bath upstairs, I feel the room having gotten colder, I even feel the grasshopper at your feet." Ben replied.

"You sound like a monk." Said Helen.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Ghosty asked.

"It has to deal with everything. Everything in this room as well as the environment around it can all be observed and noticed key changes that reveal something is different. You should always learn to read the room that way you know how to complete your objective." Ben explained.

"Where did you learn to do that?" Ghosty asked.

"From Sherlock Homes. Here, eat the meat and I'll tell you." Ben explained.

"Ohhh. I like this." Said Yu.

Flashback: After Ben finished his training with Dr. Lecter.

Sherlock (TV Series) Universe.

London, England

Year: 2017

After a pain staking long time from learning Psychology from Dr. Hannibal Lecter who he still did not trust for a single second, Ben was glad to be going to the Sherlock Universe with Benedict Cumberbatch as the greatest Sherlock of all time after Paradox has somehow got him to agree to teach him.

Sitting in the Living room, Ben watched as a man just sat there looking right at him while his sidekick, Dr. John Watson, was taking the day off to spend time with his Wife, Mary.

"Wait. She was dead at this point because she was killed in the first episode of the final season." Said Naoto.

Ben saw that the person he was looking at was a tall, svelte man appearing no more than in his late thirties, with pale skin and dark, curly hair. His look is designed to stand out in contrast to John, who is shorter, with straight blonde hair. His eyes can appear to be silver, blue or even green depending on the light. His iconic outfit consists of a long ulster coat, the collar spiked up (which John calls out for being part of his "cool" image), and a dark blue scarf. Beneath his coat, he always wears a black suit with a dress shirt, no tie. He can also be seen wearing the famous checkered deerstalker hat.

"He hate that hat." Said Ben.

This is Sherlock Holmes, the world's only consulting detective, a profession he created for himself.

"...So, are we going to do anything today, Sherlock?" Ben asked.

"I've been teaching you the entire time, Benjamin." Sherlock explained.

"No, you haven't. You've been staring at me the entire time." Ben replied, not knowing that Sherlock is using his Abilities on him: Deduction and Cold Readings.

"What have you noticed about me? The Clues are right in front of you." Sherlock asked.

"Umm... Well, you really like the color black and you have Blue Eyes." Ben explained, confused.

"That's obvious." Said Yukio.

"Wrong. I'm wearing the same clothes John wears to cover the cigarette before you came to test you. You see but you do not observe, I can tell you everything I know about you just by your clothes." Sherlock explained before he got up to show off.

"You're wearing a three day old shirt, possibly because the wash is broken or you simply haven't left the house in a while, a tan line on your arm says you usually wear a watch, but chose not to for today, you have a small chilly stain on your left knee shows you had some recently but hadn't changed." Sherlock deduced, completely awing Ben.

"Whoa. Was he right?" Asked Chistaro.

"Yes." Said Ben.

Feeling awed, Ben snapped out of it as Sherlock tossed him a custom-made outfit courtesy of Paradox.

"You'll need this. It'll help you be more confident under my wing, Benjamin. Courtesy of Paradox" Sherlock explained, making Ben nod.

The next day.

Stepping out of the Guest Room in Sherlock's House after taking a nice hot shower, Ben was wearing his detective outfit which consisted of a long, custom-made black and green modern, knee-length trench coat, with the collar spiked up for his 'cool' image, a black suit, with a green tie, a white dress shirt, white dress socks, black dress shoes, and a small lapel pin on his suit jacket which was the Number 10. He also keeps a long, black, custom-made, neckwarmer/mask scarf that forms the hourglass symbol and extended to his back, almost looking like a cape, tucked into the neck of his dress shirt, which he may pull up so that it covers his face up to the bridge of his nose, making his image to look more not only 'cool', but also 'mysterious'.

And to top it all off he wore a custom Black-Green Fedora, and Black Shades, completing his outfit, but he will only wear the shades and hat during the type of weather and whenever he wants and if it's necessary due to the fact, his hat and shades are secretly well modified since he doesn't discriminate in his choice of weapons and gadgets.

His weapons during his training with Sherlock are twin modified Handguns that hold about 50 round Magazines. Specifically, they have built in Noise Suppressors to make them completely silent for Stealth Takedowns, but he can turn off the suppressors if he wants to 'politely' not do stealth takedowns and incapacitations. Like Sherlock and Watson, Ben will only use firearms and martial arts to defend himself from Sherlock's enemies during his training. And finally, a Magnifying Glass just like Sherlock.

"Very Nice." Said Yu.

'Very very nice.' Thought Naoto with a blush.

"...I must say Benjamin, you'll no doubt look so mysterious and nice in that outfit to the people when I'm training you. I kinda like how you spike up your collar." Sherlock complimented as Ben rolled his eyes with a small smile.

"Duh, because John says spiking up the collar on your coat is 'cool'." Ben replied.

"Well then, let's get started shall we..." Sherlock said as Ben nodded.

Flashback end.

"It took me a year to understand how he did any of that, but eventually, I learned how to observe all my surroundings. Unless, I'm Brainstorm, I can't do the full thing he And Mycroft Does." Ben explained.

"Well no one is perfect." Said Tai.

'So I should basically find something to distract you, so you can't observe the area.' Kitty thought, mentally learning already.

"That's cool, Daddy. But can you tell me about one of your other teachers that taught you martial arts?" Kitty asked.

"Let's see... Oh! Okay, get ready because I'll tell you the story of a Martial Artist who taught me Jeet Kune Do and Kung Fu." Ben replied.

"EHHHHHHHH!" Squealed Chie.

Flashback: Ben's Kung Fu Training

Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute

Seattle, Washington, USA

Year: 1960

After finishing his training in the Punch-Out! Universe with Doc Louis and Little Mac after the stated few moths, plus the fact he was given a Chocolate Bar and a Photo with them in a frame as compensation, Ben traveled with Paradox to his next training to the 1960s on Earth AKA the Civil Rights Era.

Recognizing the Time Period on Earth he was in due to seeing Signs that shows Signs of Segregation and Racism towards Blacks or the 60s, Ben found himself in 1960's Seattle or the capital of Washington in the USA as he held a note from Paradox to go to a building in Seattle where he will meet his next martial arts teacher.

"This will be good." Said Chie.

After walking about half a mile to his destination, Ben saw the Sign that reads: "Lee Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute" and it has no signs that involved racial segregation and discrimination, showing that the proprietor of this establishment is probably non-racist.

Walking inside, Ben was amazed that the inside of the Martial Arts school was basically a Chinese Dojo with elements of a Kung Fu Dojo combined with other Chinese elements and the famous Yin-Yang symbol on the wall.

After awing at the inside of the building, Ben snapped out of it to meet the Proprietor of the Building and is also the Teacher of this school itself.

The person was a Hong-Kong-American Man who stands at 5'8" and weighs 128 lbs, dark brown eyes, black hair in a square-fringed, layered haircut and it's got a touch of the bowl. He was in peak physical condition with a six pack and is known for in his movies like fighting Chuck Norris due to his own fighting style with Kung Fu that he created.

This is Bruce Lee, a Hong-Kong American martial artist and instructor, actor, and philosopher of the 20th Century, who not only studied Kung Fu, but created his personal fighting style: "Jeet Kune Do" which translates to "The Way of the Intercepting Fist." which he created a formless form of Chinese Kung Fu as it goes along with his popular "Be like Water." quote.

"A quote I have never heard before Doing this." Said Sparta.

"Ah, you must be Benjamin Tennyson according to Paradox." Bruce Lee greeted shaking Ben's hands formally.

"Yeah, and you must be Bruce Lee. It's an honor to meet you sir. I'm actually excited to learn from you." Ben replied, shaking his hand politely.

"Hehehe. Well, I'm going to be tutoring you personally under my wing, Benjamin. I'm going to train you with hardwork and dedication especially you must condition your body in order to keep up with my demand of my JKD combat with exercises for your forearms." Bruce Lee explained as he gave Ben his training outfit courtesy of Paradox.

5 minutes later.

Coming out of the Dojo Training Room, Ben was wearing an attire consists of a tattered green and black karate gi resembled to symbolize the Ultimatrix's Signature Hourglass Symbol or the Intergalatic Peace Symbol with the sleeves torn off, a long green headband, green gloves that bear stylized writing, which resembles the Fūrinkazan characters, a black martial arts belt that has four kanji emblazoned upon the right end: wind (Kaze), forest(Hayashi), fire (Hi) and mountain (Yama); these four kanji make up the Fūrinkazan. The four words are based on chapter seven of Sun Tzu's Art of War, which dictates how one should conduct battle: "As Fast as the Wind, as Quiet as the Forest, as Daring as Fire, and Immovable as the Mountain."

"You look good in that Ben." Said Tifa.

BGM - You're the Best Around Lyrics by Joe "Bean" Esposito - Karate Kid OST

"Well, then. Let's get started, Benjamin." Bruce Lee said as he and Ben got in their JKD Stance and Footwork which was a Side Southpaw Horse Stance and a nimble and agile skipping-like footwork.

As the two finished formally bowing towards each other, Bruce began to go first as he started with a Non-telegraphed Punch, trying to catch Ben off-guard and throw him off balance, to make him unable to defend from further attacks.

Ben, however, quickly parried Bruce's punch as he counterattacked with low kicks towards his knees, thighs, and midsection, with jabs and crosses followed up with some side kicks. He also quickly used some slipping and rolling from Western Boxing and forearm blocks from Kung Fu while parrying Bruce's Low Kicks and Straight Lead and Non-Telegraphed Punches.

Bruce began to show a soft smile as Ben managed to grapple him and gently make him hit the ground as Bruce tapped the ground with his hand, showing that he surrenders.

"Amazing!" Said Chie.

Offering a Hand, Ben began to help up Bruce as they ended the short spar with bowing towards each other.

" I must say, Benjamin... Not bad, yet you're a natural. But this is only the beginning, so I will teach you a special quote that will help you keep up with the demand of my JKD Fighting Style. To obtain victory, therefore, I believed it's essential not to be rigid, but to be fluid and adaptable to any situation like water. Allow me to explain." Bruce explained as he cleared his throat as Ben paid close attention.

"He's not the only one." Said Chie.

"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend." Bruce explained, making Ben softly smile at the emphasis Bruce put in his tone and words.

"I will listen closely." Said Chie.

"Thanks, Bruce. I'll keep that in mind." Ben replied, going to honor his teacher.

BGM ends.

Flashback ends.

"And that, is how I learned Kung Fu and Jeet Kune Do from Bruce Lee. It took me 10 years to learn from in from 1960 to 1970. 3 years before he died in 1973."

"I thought lived longer." Admitted Sparta.

Ben explained, awing Kitty.

"That is cool, Daddy, no wonder why Aunt Chie and Aunt Naoto wanted to learn from you because Bruce and Sherlock are their idols. Along with the rest of the Investigation Team." Kitty replied.

"Well duh. They are fans." Said Yoskue.

"I know. I always keep my word and promises, no matter what. I never go back on my word." Ben explained.

"But I just have one more question, Daddy: Your Teacher, Kratos. Is he really invincible? Does he have weaknesses?" Kitty asked.

"YES! TELL US MORE!" Cried Palutena.

"No. Kratos is far from invincible, but yes he does have weaknesses. According to Death, he's just too stubborn to die and is very hard to kill during the Greek Era in his world or his path of Vengeance towards the Greek pantheon. However, he does have his weaknesses, mostly after the Greek Era and shifted towards Norse Era. He's no longer the arrogant, selfish, vengeful and petty mortal demigod he really is. However, he may be a stoic yet more empathetical, but his shortsightedness rears up every once in a while and he knows he'll never be able to make up for his past sins, but is equally aware now that he has every opportunity to do better for himself and for his child. While yes he did achieved his redemption and is reformed due to him and his son spreading Faye's ashes and forgiving himself for his past sins, he comes clean towards Atreus. His one true weakness is that he hopes he doesn't want his Rage to consume his Humanity again. Which is why he always still controls himself even after he and his Son spread Faye's ashes in Jotunheim." Ben explained as the screen went black.

"That's not a weakness! That's a personal view!" Cried Virvid.

"It is how I understand his weakness, if there is a physical I haven't found one." Explained Ben.
