"Alright Time to See what's happing with Menagerie." Said Kat.

Volume 5 Issue 3: Unforeseen Complications

Island of Menagerie

Belladonna Family Home

With the Belladonna Family, Sun, and Mordred.

The opening scene shows the interior of the Belladonna Family Home. Ghira, wearing glasses, paces back and forth looking at a piece of paper in hands, while his wife Kali, his daughter Blake, Mordred and Sun all wait for him to be ready. Ghira then stops pacing and takes one last look at the speech he has written down, before sighing as his wife places a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Are you ready?" Kali asked.

"Yes. It won't be easy for the people to hear, but the truth often isn't. I know they'll do the right thing."

"Until Nightmare ruined everything." Said Mordred.

Ghira replied.

Blake then comes up and places a hand on her father's arm, giving an affectionate snuggle. Suddenly, the three are taken by surprise when another hand pats on Ghira's back. He looks behind to see Sun.

"You got this." Sun said.

"Knock them Dead, Human." Mordred said.

"Please do me a favor and don't call anyone human during today's speech. It'll make things worse." Ghira asked, hoping that he can teach Mordred not to call Faunus Humans because they have Animal traits.

"if you walk like a human, you talk like a human, you bleed like a human guess what you're human." Said Mordred.

Ghira then opens the doors as his family and Sun step out of the home to greet the crowd gathering outside. Some people in the crowd are wearing press badges and holding scrolls up to record the event. Others in attendance include Corsac and Fennec, who are bowing their heads, as well as The captain of the menagerie guard; Saber Rodentia and other Menagerie Guards. Ghira steps up to the podium and raises his hand to quiet the crowd down.

"Thank you all for assembling here. I wanted to take time to address some of the rumors that have been circulating around our island. I believe that it is important for the people of this territory to understand the truth. No matter how you feel about the Human race, or offworlders, I think we can all agree that the event now known as the Fall of Beacon was a tragedy. A tragedy that will set both Man and Faunus-kind back. While the main aggressor is still unknown, we do have official confirmation that Adam Taurus..." Ghira spoke, pausing as he glares at the Albains.

" even though your counterparts don't know which we all know even before it that they were evil." said sun.

"... the leader of a powerful splinter group working inside the White Fang, was partially responsible for these attacks. His actions not only tarnished the reputation of an organization originally created to bring peace and equality to all, but to our entire race. With each day that this man remains unpunished, it becomes increasingly difficult to condemn those that look down upon us." Ghira explained.

The crowd starts murmuring among themselves. Ghira raises his hand again to quiet the crowd down.

"Recently, a spy from the same splinter group set their sights on this very home. My own daughter, Blake, and her friend did their very best to apprehend this individual. While they were unsuccessful after being physically assaulted and seriously injured, they were successful in obtaining the assailant's Scroll." Ghira explains as he takes out the Scroll from inside his coat.

"With this, we have been able to ascertain that Adam Taurus has plans to overthrow the current leader of the White Fang, Sienna Khan, and take over the reins himself." Ghira added.

"Something he unfortunately succeeded in." Said Luna.

At this, the crowd starts to loudly murmur in concern.

"His radical plans do not stop there, the documents on this scroll proclaim his next target to be Haven Academy and its attached CCT Tower. Their plan is to strike on the last full moon before the beginning of the Fall semester, roughly two months from today. I have sent my swiftest messenger to the government of Mistral, but I believe we have a greater responsibility. My relationship with the White Fang has been... an interesting one. Years ago, I led the organization to help try and create a world where I, and every Faunus or Alien who wished, could walk alongside the Human race. And while I believe we made great strides toward this goal, it was made clear to me that the people both in and out of the White Fang wanted faster results. So I stepped down, and Sienna Khan was appointed as my successor. It's true that I do not fully condone many of her methods. What I do condone is what Sienna fights for: the idea that the Faunus and Humans are, and should be, equal. Adam Taurus does not seem to have that goal in mind. What he has done benefits no one but himself. I think it's time that the Faunus showed the world that we are equals! Time that we snuff out this splinter group, and restore the White Fang to what it once was!" Ghira spoke.

" when you both later met up she agreed that you both were trying to accomplish the right thing one just worked better." Said Areith.

The crowd begins to cheer at this remark.

"To do this, I think the answer is clear, we must go to Haven and protect it at all costs!" Ghira explained.

At this, the crowd suddenly stops cheering, showing some hesitance. Ghira sees this and clears his throat.

"Before we proceed any further, I'd like to invite my daughter to come and share her story. Not only as a former member of the White Fang but also as a survivor of the Fall of Beacon." Ghira explained.

Blake steps up to the podium and faces her father.

"You can do this." Ghira reassured his daughter.

" hopefully I can convince him." Mumbled Blake.

Suddenly, a familiar voice yells out from the crowd along with a round of applause, much to a certain puffball's annoyance as he recognized the voice.

"What a very rousing speech. I can see why people allow you to be the chief." The voice of Nightmare commented as time stopped.

Nightmare appeared but not in the way everyone expected him to as the body of Ilia

'Ewwww, I never wanted a man inside me.' Thought Ilia.

casually walking up to the stage in front of Blake.

"Miss me, Mortal? We may have never properly met, but I never forget a soul specially one so close to Tennyson." Nightmare asked, showing that he possessed Ilia.

"What do you want, Nightmare? I doubt you came to try our seafood." Blake warned, slowly reaching for her back pocket where she kept her plumber badge.

"Don't bother calling for Tennyson's help. He's not in this universe at the moment and Minerva clearly isn't happy with you for abandoning her like cowardly cat you are." Nightmare replied, clearly enjoying this far too much as his arrogance will one day be his downfall.

"What do you want, Nightmare? Unlike her, I'm not afraid to kill any Humans." Mordred warned.

"Wait. You would kill me just to get tonight there?" Asked Ilia suddenly worried.

"what's the life of one human compared to the life of the multi-verse? Sacrifice the few to save many." Said Mordred.

, Mordred, Son of Sir Lancelot. A Star Warrior-in-training with the power to kill anything he touches if he's not careful, I'd love to have you on my side." Nightmare said.

"I'll never betray my people especially when Clark will one day kill you with the Warp Star." Mordred replied, sneering towards Nightmare with Rage.

"Bold words from that of a coward. After all was it not you who ran when your parents were killed in front of you? Was it not you who sacrifice your own guild members to save your own life? I believe the 32nd rule was "Cowards die weak" so tell me, Coward: How is it that you haven't already betrayed your people?"

"He's right about that." Said Daphne coldly.

Nightmare asked.

"Shut up, you Hypocrite. You're the Coward. You never show your rare sense of Honor due to your f'ing cowardliness." Mordred warned, showing that he, Kirby, and possibly the Embodiments know that Nightmare is truly a coward. A Petty, Powerhungry, Arrogant, Coward.

"Do you hear them screaming at night, Coward? Do you hear the souls of the guild members you betrayed to save your own life? Do you hear them as they cry out for the betrayer who left them to save his skin? Do you not feel your parents shame as they glare at their cowardice son in the afterlife?" Nightmare asked.

"I SAID SHUT UP, YOU HYPOCRITICAL COWARD!" Mordred screamed.

Before anyone could react Mordred took out his Chain Scythe, Death's Grasp, and cut open Ilia's stomach, releasing blood all over the stage, knocking her towards the ground just as Nightmare left her body and everyone gasped in shock as time restarted.

"Son Of bitch. He tricked all of you." Said the Falmouth reaper.

"THE ALIEN JUST ATTACKED SISTER ILLIA!" Corsac screamed, generally shocked.

"This was supposed to be a peaceful rally!" a person cried from the crowd.

"That alien needs to be controlled!"

"He has gone too far this time!"

"I say either he is banished from the island or we force him off!"

"Oh they tried, and I feast." Said Mordred suddenly having a very surprisingly number of sharp teeth.

" spit out those fake teeth. As nice as they look they aren't very comfortable." Said Barbara.

Watching as things escalated quickly beyond their control, Blake quickly grabbed Mordred who seemed to realize he was tricked by Nightmare into doing this as he looked down at the completely frightened and confused Ilia who was currently being treated by several Guards.

"Mom, take Mordred inside the house and don't let him out of your site. I need to deal with this." Blake ordered, giving her mom the black puffball before running back to her one time friend.

"Let me try something. SOLITIUM!" Blake cried, using her Magic.

With the magic words used the Chamaeleon spy began to completely heal until there was not even a scar left much to everyone's shock.

"Thank Oum For Magic," Said Blake.

"I heal the wound, but you're still in need of a blood transfusion. You better get one fast." Blake explained, turning around to walk to her house, but stopped by the voice of her friend.

"I don't know what just happened, but I do know is that alien is out of control and needs to be dealt with." Ilia warned.

Closing her eyes and clenching her fist and anger, Blake walked away knowing that Alien acceptance was going to be especially hard now that the evidence was stacked against Mordred.

"His attitude certainly won't help things." Said Tai.

Kingdom of Mistral

Rental House

With Qrow, Team RNJR, Oscar.

Meanwhile in Mistral, Oscar is seen sitting on a red armchair, nervously looking at the members of Team JNPR, Ruby and Thor as they fawn over him.

"Did he age backwards?" Nora asked.

"He's possessed!" Jaune shouted.

"That second one is more likely." Barbara added.

"Or reincarnated like Ben and Yang!" Ren said.

"This is quite strange now that our professor is now a 14-year-old." Pyrrha said.

"I'm not sure where I labeled this at the strange scale." Thor added.

"I knew this was a thing, but I never thought I'd actually see it. Is this weird?" Ruby asked.

"Very." Said Oscar.

"It's very weird, yes." Oscar replied.

"Okay, Okay. Let's all just take a second and remember that this is very overwhelming for everyone." Qrow said, entering the room with a cup in hand.

Everyone looked towards Oscar for a moment before they all took a step back with a nervous chuckle.

"Thanks." Oscar said to Qrow.

Qrow then takes a seat on the couch next to Oscar. Ruby, Pyrrha with Barbara in her lap and nora took a seat on the couch perpendicular to Qrow's, while Jaune and Ren remain standing. Oscar then shares a brief look with Ruby, who giggles, causing Oscar to blush.

" looks like someone got a crush on your mom Cuz." Teased Ying.

" oh shut up princess." Mocked Logan earning another lightning bolt.

Ah, sorry! It's just I've never really met Huntsmen and Huntresses before." Oscar said as he briefly looked away.

"Well, we never met a person from our world with two souls, met a person with three but not like this." Ruby replied.

Oscar smiles and chuckles at Ruby before he hears Qrow clear his throat.

"Not to break up the whole 'getting-to-know-you' game, but we need to have a talk. Mind showing us your little parlor trick, kid?" Qrow asked.

"Yeah, okay. Just so you know, I'll still be here." Oscar replied with a groan.

The members of Team JNPR, Thor, Ruby, And Barbara look at him in confusion. Oscar then lowers his head and closes his eyes. Suddenly, a green and white aura shines from his body for a moment, Oscar opens up his eyes, which are now glowing, and he smiles. When he speaks, they all hear a familiar voice overlapping with a bunch of other voices, including Oscar's.

"It is so very good to see you again, students." Ozpin said, bringing a look of shock from his students.

"Wow That is weird." Said Ruby.

"Wait, what just happened?" Jaune asked.

"Professor... Ozpin?" Ren asked.

"Correct. And though I may be the one speaking, Oscar is still present mentally. He's merely handed over the control, so to speak." Ozpin explained.

"Crude but quite accurate." Said The Three soul girl.

'Just don't make us do anything embarrassing.' Oscar mentally thought.

"I'm afraid this all must be very perplexing." Ozpin said.

"And alarming, and bizarre, and just really kind of hard to believe overall!" Said Nora.

"how is it you can use the very definition is but not know what it means?" Asked Jane.

"That's exactly what perplexing means." Barbara commented.

"*Chuckles* Regardless, I know you've all been through tremendous hardship already. I'm sorry." Ozpin replied as he frowned.

"Professor, this wasn't your fault. You couldn't have known this would happen." Pyrrha assured.

"He should have." Said Salem.

"It's all my fault." Ozpin replied as Qrow gets up and goes back to the kitchen to get something.

"I told you once that I made more mistakes than any man, woman, and child on this planet, and I wasn't exaggerating. I'm... cursed. For thousands of years, I've walked the surface of Remnant, living, dying, and reincarnating in the body of a like-minded soul. The Professor Ozpin you all met was not my first form and clearly wasn't my last. It's... an extraordinarily strenuous process on everyone involved." Ozpin explained.

"Ain't That the truth." Said Spring.

"So who... what... are you?" Jaune asked.

"I am the combination of countless men who've spent their lives trying to protect the people of Remnant." Ozpin explained just as Qrow walks back into the room and hands him a cup of tea.

"With every rebirth, my soul is eventually merged with another and I am changed, but my memories stay with me. This curse was bestowed upon me by the gods because I failed to stop Salem in the past. But we must stop her now." Ozpin explained.

"Good luck." Said Salem.

"And how do we do that, Human?" Barbara asked.

"We start... by ensuring the safety of the Relic of Knowledge." Ozpin explained.

Continent of Anima

Branwen Tribe Main Camp

With Weiss.

Meanwhile in the deep woods of Anima at night, Weiss awakens to find herself trapped in a cage and her wrists bound by rope. She looks around and notices the bandits from earlier that took her And Snow is nowhere in sight. One of them is drinking, while the other notices Weiss waking up.

"Well, well, well, look who's awake." The second Bandit commented, chuckling.

"Where am I and where is Snow?" Weiss asked.

"You know... I never thought I'd see a Schnee in this camp." The Voice of the False Spring Maiden added, emerging from her tent.

" I have a feeling like she has also been dragged into fears plan." Mumbled Vernal.

"Vernal?" The first bandit asked.

The two bandits suddenly stand at attention. Vernal walks over to Weiss' cage, holding Myrtenaster in her hand. Weiss stands up, while her captor admires her weapon.

"Where is the Alien I had with me?" Weiss asked with a glare.

"Straight to the point. I like it. We don't normally deal in trafficking people - not really worth our time. But, once we realized we had a Schnee, that changed." Vernal explained, pointing Myrtenaster at Weiss.

"You're going to ransom me back to my father for money, aren't you?" Weiss asked, already knowing the answer.

"It's a shame you're a Schnee. You'd probably do well around here." Vernal explained.

"I would never sink to your level." Weiss replied.

"Just keep quiet and cooperate and you'll be back in your mansion before you know it. Don't make this complicated."

" it's best to go along with her character in a hostage situation." Said willow.

Vernal said, turning around to walk away.

"What's going to make this complicated is when my sister finds out I didn't make it to Mistral. You know my sister, don't you? Winter Schnee? Special Operative of the Atlas Military? She's in Mistral now, and when she hears I'm missing, it won't take her long to find me - and you." Weiss said with a confident smirk.

"don't act so confident." Said Winter having a bad feeling.

Suddenly, the bandits start laughing, much to Weiss' surprise.

"What's so funny?" Weiss asked.

"*Laughs* Oh, I don't know if it's more funny or sad, but you're clearly out of the loop. Your sister isn't in Mistral anymore. No Atlas personnel are in Mistral anymore. General Ironwood closed the borders and recalled all his little troops and tin cans. No one is coming to rescue you." Vernal explained.

"Told you." Said Winter.

The bandits are once again laughing as Vernal walks away from Weiss, who closes her eyes forlornly but opens them quickly when she hears a familiar scream from Snow on the other side of the camp.

"Ugh. That dumb alien keeps trying to escape the lightning dust threaded rope. It should know every time it turns invisible or tries to use any powers, it gets shocked..." The First Bandit groaned, much to Weiss's horror.

"SNOW! IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, STOP TRYING TO ESCAPE, YOU'LL HURT YOURSELF!" Weiss screamed.

The First Bandit was ready to go into the cage to teach her a lesson, but was stopped by Vernal turning around.

"So you care for that alien. Good to know for if you try to escape." Vernal said, before walking away for good this time.

"Don't try anything, we're both far outnumbered in this place." A new voice in the cage added.

"Wait. That's my voice." Said Tifa confused.

Looking towards the back of her cage Weiss saw Tifa Lockhart from Cloud's world, with her hands tied together from behind only this time in metal handcuffs instead of rope and she is too strong for the rope.

'At least I have someone to keep me company besides annoying bandits.' Weiss thought, but also wondering why she was locked in here even if Weiss didn't know who Tifa was, however, she was unaware that Yang knows Tifa.

"can't wait for that to come up." Said Ken.

"In case you're wondering, Atlas is paying top dollar for anything or anyone from other worlds. She has strange things that are definitely not from this world." The First Bandit explained.

" those gloves on her chest prove just that." Said Mary.

"Of course you are like your mom." Said Tifa.

" hey if you're hot I say acknowledge it." Said Angela.

"Wise words." Said Lilith.

"Truly." Said Morrigan.

Kingdom of Mistral

Rental House

Back with Team RNJR, Oscar/Ozpin, Qrow, and Thor.

Meanwhile in Mistral back at the rental house, Nora is standing next to Oscar's body, striking various poses as she is talking.

"This is perfect! We were stuck at a dead end, but now, we can just take little cute boy Ozpin to Lionheart and have him set things straight!" Nora shouted.

" if only it was that simple." Said spring.

"Please don't call me that." Ozpin asked.

"We're not sure that's the best idea." Qrow added.

Nora pouts and groans and goes back to sit down next to Ruby and Pyrrha.

"But I thought the headmasters and those who know about this all took their orders from you. Including Teacher." Thor said.

" I listen to him but I also listen to Logan's input." Said Spring.

"That was the intention. Four lieutenants I can trust, especially during times of reincarnation. But Qrow told me about your meeting with Leonardo." Ozpin replied, pausing to get up as he looked towards a nearby painting of Mistral.

"He isn't just behaving irrationally, he's disobeying specific instructions I had left him. We know that he's a traitor as Benjamin confirmed during his tournament in Smash Brothers, I'd hoped he'd overcome his fear of Salem for his granddaughter, but it appears I was wrong, on my way up here, I ran into Ganon, but hopefully no one knows what Oscar looks like, so I can still safely slip by." Ozpin explained.

" you're more than likely will. He likes to play games with his so-called allies." Said Zelda.

"Play things close to the chest until we get a better hand." Qrow added.

"Precisely. Now, we have two steps ahead of us." Ozpin replied, pausing as he turns around to face the rest of the group.

"The first is enlisting the aid of more Huntsmen." Ozpin explained.

"But the Mistral Council—" Ren began.

"Doesn't own every Huntsman in the Kingdom, and I've been here enough times to know where we can find some more." Qrow explained.

"Some of my old contacts still exist. They'll be shocked that I'm alive, but I'll see if I can get them." Thor added.

" those contacts should've try and find Nora." Mumbled Athena.

"So long as they're trustworthy." Ozpin stated.

"You can trust them to put up a good fight. I'll throw together a list tonight." Qrow added.

Qrow puts his foot on the table, but his Semblance causes one of the legs to break and spill his cup of tea.

"Good luck with that." Nora commented, unintentionally making a pun.

"NOOOOO! Not again!" Cried Nora.

"After that, we can move on to step two." Ozpin explained.

"What's step two, Professor?" Pyrrha asked.

Suddenly, Ozpin has The Long Memory in hand.

"Getting all of you into fighting shape." the Professor explained, confusing everyone.

"We can always Learn new ways to fight." Said Pyrrha.

"But we already know how to fight." Ruby said.

"You can only fight so long as you have Crescent Rose and Knifes, but you're still lacking in hand-to-hand combat." Ozpin stated, pointing to her with his cane.

"Well, uh, yeah." Ruby replied with a sheepish smile.

"Mr. Arc, I'm glad to hear you've improved with both your sword and watch, but sorry to say, you've yet to unlock your Semblance. All of you still have a-ways to go before you're ready to pose any real threat against Salem and her forces. And though Oscar can give me temporary control, he'll need to strengthen his body and his Aura." Ozpin explained.

"What?" Asked Oscar.

" don't tell me you thought it would be easy." Said Salem.

"Well kinda." Said Oscar.

'Wait, what?' Oscar mentally thought.

"He'll inherit my muscle memory in time, but practice will expedite the process." Ozpin explained, ignoring the voice in his head.

"But if Qrow's out looking for Huntsmen, then who's going to teach us?" Ruby asked.

Ozpin then propels himself into the air with his cane, spinning counterclockwise into a barrel roll before landing onto the seat of the armchair, twirling his cane.

"Well, I believe I was the headmaster of Beacon Academy." Ozpin explained, knowing the looks of Awe from the Huntsmen and Huntresses-in-Training.

"he's Not Wrong." Said Logan.

"We have approximately one month before classes resume at Haven. If Salem were to plan an attack, it would make sense that it would occur prior to students' return. It's not much time, but it's better than nothing. *Stops his twirling* Just don't expect me to go easy on you." Ozpin explained.

Suddenly, he glows green and white again, switching control back to Oscar. He has a hard time keeping his balance on the armchair before falling backwards.

"Ohh, Dick move." Said Ken.

"You've got to be kidding me." Oscar commented, groaning as Qrow, Thor, Team JNPR, and Ruby look on with various expressions again.

Branwen Tribe Main Camp

Back with Weiss.

Back at the bandit camp, the two bandits have fallen asleep. Weiss notices this, and silently uses her Semblance to create a small summoning Glyph. A small Arma Gigas appears in her hands, sword at the ready. Weiss smiles before nodding at it.

Naruto Universe

Hidden Leaf Village

With Ben and Helen.

The scene shifts to Ben and Helen in the Hidden Leaf Village talking to Tsunade in her office.

"So, let me get this straight. You're the reincarnation of my late Sensei and my predecessor while you're the reincarnation of his wife. You're trying to recruit help for a "Multiverse War" that will affect all of Creation. Do I have everything right?" Tsunade asked.

"That's right." Ben replied.

" she seems to be taking it quite well." Said Ben.

Tsunade just stared at the two of them for several moments before she threw a paperweight, hitting Ben in the face with the strength of a bullet.

"WHAT KIND OF AN IDIOT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR?!" Tsunade cried.

"Or not." Said Rex.

"The kind who lost all of her clothes playing poker with her teammates." Ben replied as he rubbed his face.

' what a glorious sight that must've been.' Thought the majority of the men in the room along with Ilia.

"I don't know how you know about that, but I'm not buying what you're selling, so get out before I lose my temper." Tsunade warned.

"I know this is hard to believe, but I'm telling the truth. Here, if strange things start to happen like people's nightmares coming to life or a strange being just taking people, you push this button and I will come." Ben replied, handing her a modified Plumber Badge.

Taking the badge, Tsunade gestured for them to leave not believing them, but is not opposed to have a potential ally in the future especially if there are Sages like her old friend.

Walking threw the village, Ben and Helen felt completely relax walking through their old home looking at all the sites taking all the sounds and everything until they came across Konohamaru Sarutobi walking with a man who looked like a younger version of Hiruzen wearing the Jōnin uniform jacket.

'It's them, our Son and Grandson.' Helen said telepathically.

'Yamato has become a fine ninja, what should we say to them? They wouldn't believe us.' Ben asked.

'I say we leave them a message. We won't force them to see us or learn the truth, we can't take them from their lives.' Helen explained.

"That's pretty fair." Said Tai.

" oh trust me they definitely join the war later just not right now." Said Kat.

Nodding his Head in agreement, Ben led them to a alley and quickly wrote a note, sending it through a shadow to give them the option as they won't force their family to join them, even though they really want them to.

'Death, please bring Asuma back. You know I'll just bring him back anyway.' Ben thought.

'He's Alive and Well, it'll be a shock to many people, but they would just brush it off as him being brought back through Nagato.' Death explained.

"Our son…." Mumbled Helen.

'Good to hear.' Helen replied before they reappeared at the mountain where everything was all packed and ready to go.

"Are you ready, Kitty? Because we're going to visit your older brothers." Ben asked.

"Yep! I can't wait to meet my dragon brother!" Kitty shouted excitedly.

"Just remember that he may not be as nice as Dante and Vergil. He's the type of dragon that looks down on Humans. Also, he may be aware of the embodiments, but in that world they're only regarded as a myth, so he may not believe us." Ben explained.

"Thankfully War intervened." Said Rouge.

Fairy Tail Universe

Kingdom of Fiore

Magnolia Town.

Opening a portal, the three walked to a city very similar to Atlantis in design but in the center of the city was a castle in appearance, having battlements on top of its two upper floor, while the ground floor has a more Western-looking roof than the former building, consisting of many small, square tiles of different size. Over the battlements several large torches are lined up. Topping the building and the last floor is a small, tower-like dome containing a large bell, which has a pointed roof made of tiles; two more towers are present at both sides of the entrance, these having elongated glass windows running through them and weathercocks shaped like Fairy Tail's symbol on their tile tops. The front part of the top floor houses a large banner with the guild's insignia on it, while two smaller banners placed at its sides, some meters away from it, bear, respectively, the Magic Council's emblem and an unknown symbol. The top floor seems to be the most bare, while the middle one's front walls are intricately decorated and sport a pair of ornamental windows. The ground floor's roof bears a highly decorative balustrade on its top, and the floor itself possesses many small windows lined up its front walls, together with wood reinforcements, while its edges bear large, rectangular wood beams. Surrounding the headquarters is a fence composed of stone overtopped by decorated railing, with some pillars over-topped by torches on its length and an open gate giving access to the guild, this possessing an upper part covered in tiles, with railing below it, bearing resemblance to an open portcullis, plus a large sign bearing the guild's name, with ornate decorations above it, including a pair of detailed statues of fairies, each wearing a dress and possessing a pair of wings and elongated ears sitting on their heads. In front of the building, inside the fence, is the so-called "open air cafe", containing a little over two dozen tables, each complete with a pair of benches at its sides, and with some of them bearing striped beach umbrellas.

(before anyone mentions how that's not the current design that's the one I like so we're sticking with that one don't like it well tough)

"Whoa. Where are we?" Kitty asked.

"We're in Magnolia Town, located in the Kingdom of Fiore." The Voice of Julie explained, surprising everyone as she was right behind them.

"Awww! Don't do that-" Kitty cried, but stopped when she saw her step-mother change outfits now wearing a white T-shirt with her pink hoodie now having light orange, yellow, and white stripes on it. Also, her hair is now longer and is kept in pigtails. She wears long socks with orange and yellow stripes that go up to her knees. She wears pink tennis shoes.

"Hey I like the outfit." Said Ben.

"Thanks." Said Julie.

Ben, however, like what Julie was now wearing a better variety with her pink hoodie, but what really draw his attention was a toned, muscular man. His dark orange hair is styled upwards, with the tips somewhat tinged and two strands framing the sides of his head. He has several red tattoos on his upper body, including flame-like ones on his face, a red sun that covers much of his left pectoral, and a tribal design that runs down his left arm. For attire, the man dons loose pants with a fur lining in the middle: the top is dark-colored while the bottom is light. He wears a wrap around his waist, with an apron-like cloth over his pants, bearing diamond shapes and an X-design. Bandages cover his right forearm, and his accessories include three triangular dangling earrings on each ear, and a large gold chain with a cross-shaped pendant around his neck.

This is Ignia, Son of Igneel and Blaze, AKA Julie's and Ben's Son.

"Dam, you definitely possess some very good genes." Said Morrigan.

"Father." Ignia said with a Gruff and Graveling voice.

"Son." Ben replied.

Glaring at each other, the area around the town started to get very hot as a sudden heat wave appeared, sending most people inside sweating like the proverbial pig.

"Boys, calm down. We're here as a Family, so get along or I'll make you both." Julie warned, showing that she is completely immune to the heat while Helen and Kitty were sweating like crazy.

"Why did you bring him here, My Queen? I'm assuming you know everything including how he left me for dead and fled like a coward." Ben asked, earning a glare and a Growl from Ignia but was stopped by Julie.

"Your anger is justified but this is a new start." Said Rise.

"I know, Ben, but he was acting under my orders. I told him to fly to run as far away from the Dragon King as possible because I knew he'd be slaughtered like our people were. You were never good at waiting and listening as Igneel and as a result, you disowned him, stripping him of his birthright, but that's not why we're here." Julie explained, shocking Ben of this fact.

"Hmm, then it seems I owe you an apology, my son. I cannot undo the decision I made because Royal Magic won't allow it, but I can offer you my apologies as well as a place in my house to be family again." Ben said.

"Hmph. I'll never forgive you

"He certainly doesn't, if it wasn't for Sparks, he they have never Tried to be civilized." Said Areith.

"Sparks?" Asked Julie.

"Your daughter." Said Ken.

for what you've done and it's only because Mother and War, but I haven't tried to kill you now. When this war is over, don't expect things to be the same again." Ignia replied, earning a kick in the leg from Kitty who only ended up hurting herself.

"Owe! What's your leg made of?" Kitty asked.

"Pure Human Muscle in this form, Neko. Fortunately, you're in Father and Mother's presence, otherwise, I make you a snack right now." Ignia growled, earning a flaming bash on the head from Julie, causing him to be scared as even he fears a Mother's Wrath.

"mothers can be quite scary." Said Ben.

"That's enough. We're here to talk and act like adults and if you cannot do that, then I think you need to have another talk." Julie warned as Ignia walked to the building.

"Before we follow him, do you know of your past lives and I'm guessing you somehow got the True Power of War." Ben asked, feeling a new source of power from Her.

"Yes on both. As for my past lives, it goes in Order: Artemis, Aya of the Assassins,

"looks like we got two assassins in the family." Said Helen.

Jean Grey from X-Men: The Last Stand,

"The good movies." Said Ben.

Kotone Shiomi a Persona-User

"Your my Predecessor?" Asked Yu.

"And the one who taught me humanity." Said Aigis.

" why does that name sound familiar?" Wondered Ben.

, Blaze; Your Mate, Catherine-B320 from Halo Reach,

" it seems you are always some kind of fighter." Said Ben.

and Julie." Julie listed.

"What does that fourth name sound familiar?" Ben wondered.

Grateful to know who all she was, they all then followed the Fire Dragon God inside the Guild Hall which was an old building, quite similar to a cafeteria but much larger in size, with more tables and benches, as well as several long beams supporting the wooden mezzanines present on both sides of the hall, and a similarly long counter occupying the wall to the right from the entrance. Above it, a large banner bearing both the guild's name and its symbol is visible. The floor is still made of wood, while the upper part of the walls, just below the mezzanines, consists of bricks.

When first entering the guild, there is a request board to the immediate right, and an information desk to the immediate left. A few meters in front of them, there are two dozen restaurant tables that stretch across the length of the room. The tables end at a large, wooden stage that has four staircases behind it on its left and right sides. Two of the staircases lead upstairs and two of them lead down stairs. In the upper right hand corner of the guild, there is a rest/shower room.

To the right of the restaurant tables, there is a kitchen, and next to the kitchen there is a resting room. Next to that room in the lower right hand corner of the guild is a Data Storage Room. There is a library in the lower left hand corner of the room, and next to that is a waiting room. To the left of that, is a storage room, which is located next to a second rest/shower room. Behind the stage of the guild is a large, interior swimming pool that is decorated to imitate an outside environment, having its edges adorned by plants of various sort, mainly palms and tropical-looking bushes, plus typical sunbeds complete with beach umbrellas. The pool seems to lack a proper springboard, with the guild members seemingly diving into it via some crates piled up one on the other.

But of course, what really dragged everyone's attention like literally everyone beating the crap out of each other with various magic spells, flying every which direction along with tables, food, drinks, sometimes even people through sent flying.

" how did none of us hear that?" Asked Kara still baffled to this day.

'How is it we didn't hear any of this outside?' Everyone wondered as they sweat-dropped.

"Can I help you all?" a sweet voice asked.

Turning to their right, they saw a slim young woman of below average height. She has long, white hair which curls slightly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest; her hairstyle's most distinctive trait is a short, upward ponytail obtained by gathering and tying the hair covering her forehead. Due to her always adopting such fashion, her hair seems to have adapted to it, with the hair on her forehead remaining pointed upwards even when not tied. She has large blue eyes and a curvy, voluptuous body, with large breasts wearing a sleeveless, ankle-length maroon dress with a pleated skirt. The chest is adorned by a large, pink bow, and similarly colored trimmings frame the rather ample neckline, acting as straps, and circle around the waist. She also wears high-heeled shoes that match her dress, and accessorizes with a small chain necklace with a blue oval gem attached to it, and a bracelet made of white flowers circling her right wrist.

This is Mirajane Strauss, but don't let her sweet look fool you, under that beautiful sweet smile, is a She-Demon ready to strike.

"With her Satan-Soul take over I'm not surprised." Said Luna.

(Heads up from here on out. Like in Naruto, they all look like their Canon selves, so just look it up if you don't know. Also, since Lucy Heartfilia has too many outfits, just pick one you like and imagine she's wearing that. Also, this takes place after the last episode and the events of the hundred year quest will not happen.)

"Yes, is there someone named Natsu Dragneel here? We need to speak to him." Ben asked.

Right as he said that, a person who honestly did look like he is Dragon Faunus form was sent flying right in front of him by a man wearing nothing, but his boxers much to Ben's annoyance as he had to cover Kitty's eyes for that.

"I swear that stripping habit is never going to go away." Said Luna.

"not that we are complaining." Said Nemesis.

"Oh here he is. Natsu, these people are looking for you, so please try not to destroy anything too expensive if it's a quest." Mira explained, giggling as she walked away.

Getting up, Natsu was about to ask what they wanted when a familiar scent hit his nose, stopping from asking as he glanced at Ignia.

"You smell like my dad!" Natsu cried, stopping the fight.

"Hey, you're right, he does smell like a Dragon." Gajeel added AKA the Son of Metalicana, The Iron Dragon.

"So do those two." Wendy added.

"That could've been useful while fighting that fucking dragon." Laxus added, earning a Lightning fast punch from Helen.

"There's a Kid Here!" Helen cried, pointing at Kitty.

"Correction. There are two kids counting Asuka." Said Kat.

"Who are you all?" Erza asked.

"My name's Ben Tennyson, these are my Wives Helen and Julie, this is my adopted daughter Katherine "Kitty" Rhodes and my biological son Ignia." Ben explained, earning many eyes of skepticism, saying nothing resembling him and his son.

"You both look nothing alike." a very drunk Cana commented as per usual.

"There's always one." Said Aquarius looking at Qrow.

"It's a long story. Natsu, could you please come with us and leave, I'll explain everything, you can even bring that Cat, Happy, I believe his name was." Julie said.

"Not until you tell me who you are." Natsu replied.

"I'm the true son of Igneel. And as much as I want to see how strong you are for killing the dragon king, I am ordered to wait by mother and father." Ignia replied.

"Wait, how could you be the true son of Igneel if that man claims to be your biological father?" Lucy asked.

"Because, you stupid humans, they were reincarnated." Ignia explained, earning a flaming punch to the gut from Natsu.

"Don't insult my family! Besides, Dad's dead, I saw it myself while you were nowhere!" Natsu cried.

Getting ready to punch the insufferable human, Ignia was stopped by Ben who raised his hand, grabbing the fist and of course keeping a tight iron grip on it, making Ignia submissive as a Father's wrath is also very deadly.

" unlike last time they fought dad has his full soul which was healed thanks to death." Said Kat.

"Let me explain, Natsu, what he says is true and I can prove it to all of you." Ben explained.

"You have two minutes." Natsu replied.

So, Ben pulled out the Warp Moon which immediately transformed into Moon Staff, which created a space, showing everyone his memories as Igneel appearing in the Vytal Festival, to going home, knowing he would die in that fight, even gone so far as to show them the Truth of the Multiverse through the Embodiments, everything attached offer, much to their amazing and some still skeptical as the scene shifted to black.

" it makes sense they would have some skepticism." Said Hyde.

Omake: Winter Sonata.

Weiss was working tirelessly with her Summons to cut the bars, so she and Tifa may spread their Wings of Rebellion to escape this cell the evil adults have trapped them in.

(I'm sorry I couldn't resist it, actually, no I'm not sorry. It was a clearly a Persona 5 Reference.)

"No I am not." Said Sparta.

Weiss focused hard on trying to escape while occasionally talking to Tifa about their worlds, neither knowing the other knows Yang as suddenly a mechanical two headed goose appeared in the cell, much to Weiss's confusion as it held a letter with The initials "DB" on the seal.

" OK that's the strangest thing I have ever seen." Said Weiss.

"What the heck?" Weiss asked.

"Oh no, it's the Robo-goose, that means Wizard and Boomstick want one of us for Death Battle again..." Tifa mumbled.

'Ben Mentioned Death Battle at one point, I better read the letter and see what it wants.' Weiss thought.

Taking the letter the best she can, Weiss found out that the two hosts wanted her to participate in Death Battle and if she wins, she would earn more money than the SDC could ever earn in her father's lifetime as well as a way to escape safely with Snow without being hurt.

" that's a very good deal but it's not worth it." Said yang.

" you seem to think so when you snapped my neck." Said Tifa.

"I know what you're thinking because trust me, I've been in Death Battle before. They make good on their promises, but dying is one of the most painful things you can do I know because I lost." Tifa explained, remembering her Death Battle with Fatty

"FATTY?!" Roared Yang.

" your breasts are filled with nothing but Ramen fat, I never said it to your face but it's justified." Said Tifa earning a red eyed glare.

AKA Yang.

"Thank you for the advice, but I have to win for Snow's sake. If she gets too scared, she'll start trying to escape again and I don't want one of these bandits to lose patience." Weiss replied.

Taking a pen provided from the robotic goose, Weiss signed the contract and was teleported away to a waiting loungewear in the Death Battle Waiting Room where she saw a 20 year old woman with long Beautiful red hair covering her left eye. The hue of the hair can sometimes appear vivid red or dark red in certain lights. Her eyes are brown, although they have sometimes been portrayed with hints of red which scared lesser people away while she wore a white fur coat that went down to her ankles similar to Koala Deville from 101 Dalmatians over a black catsuit that did literally nothing to hide her beautiful curves and gifted assets that rivaled her sister while on pistol rested on her thigh.

'Oh no. I don't like where this is going.' Thought Ben knowing what's coming.

This is Mitsuru Kirijo, the Original Leader/Founder of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad or S.E.E.S. squad AKA the Investigation Team's Predecessors and the current leader of the Shadow Operatives Squad along with its founder, the Kirijo Group, as she is the Heiress to that group.

"My former teammate." Said Aigis.

Right as she said that Byleth was removed from bens lap seating her right next to Palutena while Solthis appeared physically and unfortunately for her handcuffed to Virvid.

"Hey!" Cried The Two goddess.

Ignoring them Sparta brought in the Woman of the hour who took Byleth's spot wearing a White Dress with Her Sword at her side.

"Hello Ben-Kun, i've missed you." Said Mitsuru softly.

"Hello Mitsuru-Chan." Said Ben just as softly earning several glares which they ignored.

"My name is Mitsuru Kirijo, I assume you are to be my opponent." Mitsuru greeted formally as always.

"Weiss Schnee at your service. I know we can't have any information about each other until the fight, but I hope that whatever happens, we won't end up hating each other like Ben and Hal Jordan... I believe his name was." Weiss replied, earning a wide eyed reaction from her opponent.

"You Know Ben Tennyson? How is he? Has he finally stopped eating so many things of Chili Fries?" Mitsuru asked.

"He's my partner's brother-in-law, no, he hasn't stopped eating so many as far as I know, and also, how do you know him?" Weiss asked.

"He got married...? Well, I hope he's happy." Mitsuru replied, looking down sadly, as she has feelings for him, but unaware that he is in a open marriage.

"Grrrr, anyone else I should know about?" Asked Yang.

" I am not trying to steal your husband Yang-San. We have dated in the past when he came to my World to learn how to run a business." Said Mitsuru.

" why have you have never spoken of him and why have I not met him?" Asked aegis.

" you were away on mission." Answered Mitsuru.

"You didn't answer the question." Weiss said.

"We were close and leave it at that." Mitsuru replied with her voice becoming cold as ice.

Realizing that she touched a sore subject, Weiss decided to leave it be for now and simply focus on the fight coming ahead when the two were teleported to a grand hall when some speakers came on.

"Alright ladies, it's time for a Death Battle!" Boomstick declared as he popped open a can of Beer.

"As always, your morality will be turned off, you'll use only the information we have used which is downloaded into your head and finally whoever wins, will have their generous reward while the loser will be gifted with only a very small amount." Wiz explained.

Feeling their Moralities turned off, the two pulled out their respective weapons or their Rapiers and began to fight….

Later after the Death Battle.

After coming back to life much to her annoyance as she died,

"WHAT?!" Cried Willow.

Weiss glanced at her opponent on top of the winner's box as the redhead held a bag filled with even more money than she already has, but not for what Weiss is expecting.

"All right, as agreed you will be sent straight to Benjamin Tennyson wherever he is with plenty of money for wherever you decide to stay and start your new life if you choose not to return to your world." Wiz explained.

"As for you, Snow White, you get 3000 of your world's currency, but because you didn't win, you'll be sent right back to where you were in the first place." Boomstick added.

"Quick! Before they send me back, tell me why you want to see Ben!" Weiss shouted, unaware that like Tifa Lockhart, Mitsuru had the same reason why Cloud's Friend entered Death Battle as both of them shared the same desire.

" then I'm glad I won." Said yang glaring at Tifa.

"He's my-" Mitsuru began before they were both cut off by teleporting away.

" future husband." Said Mitsuru warmly as she decided to stop being so reserved and show her affection.
