Dawn of Injustice: Return of the Mavericks Ch. 19 (Finale pt. 6: It Ends Here!)
Disclaimer: This is an indirect sequel to the first Dawn of Injustice Loud Heroes story. It follows the Destruction Ending where the Hatchilings of the Phoenix and the Children of the L-Crew sisters are now looking for clues on how will they be able to bring back the Phoenix King, Lincoln Loud (formerly known as Firecracker). Now they are stuck in a timeless plane of existence that is the nexus of all other worlds created. It is the alpha and omega of the worlds, and the realm works as if it never existed and exists as the same time: The World That Never Did. Some characters may return while some may not.

Opening Theme [Static P - Rewind]
One more time, rewind
I'll find another way back here…
I've been to the hard times
I've been at the wrong side
I've been ashamed
So many memories you know, I like to change
I'm gonna correct this
I'm gonna direct us to better days
I'm gonna turn back the clock
And a different way
I got the power
To turn back time, you know
'Til I find the right road
I've change that fate once before
So here I go
A new story unfold!
One more time, rewind
I'll find another way back here
On this memories, I reflect
I conceive a better plan from here
One more time, rewind
I'll find another wa-a-a-ay back here. Ha!
-Opening Ends-
The heroes had went through seven cycles of battle and respite within The World That Never Did. Now readily charged the power of each cores, they must now face the last obstacle that is hindering them from bringing back the alternative Creation timeline. The Vector of the erased timeline [From Smoking Wrecker's Loud Heroes AU] and Desperado Chaos, the lingering sentiment of the son of Pandora (Delgaia/Chaos). With Emerson now allying himself to the hero's side, the long journey of rediscovery, tribunals, and tribulations will soon finally conclude.
With the Rift sealed off by the help of Dark Slayer, his brother; Alastor/Tony Redgrave, Cereza, Jeanne, and Beatrice, all that is left is the daunting task of finishing the warfare from the other heroes. The fight took so much energy from them. They may come back to their world as a different person even with the purification from their memories of the land they've been summoned to. But in exchange that they finally receive the fate they so desired to, the heroes are willing to make a sacrifice to obtain what is rightfully theirs.
-At the Edge of Discord-
At last the champions had finally come prepared to a climactic showdown. The champions of Creation against the remnant agents of destruction.
Jax/Climate: If we are to finally be free from this dooming fate, we must fight and make our stand.
Solomon Wisemann/Dr. Brainiac: We all have a common enemy that has been defying us from having a bright future. This endless cycle that they want yet accomplish naught must come to an end. Whether we'd be immortals or their champions… in this world we are one together!
Emerson/Void Dark: This will be the last time I will get to see you, Vector. I'll make sure you will not suffer this world or any other as well.
Vector: And I will grant you death in return too, Emerson. This time, the powers you've taken from me will be returned.
Lyle/Toby/Sunspot: Last time I was brought to time, we defeated you! What can you do now that we're back together?
At Vector's side is Desperado Chaos, ready and roaring. With him is an army of remaining manikins that are able to emerge from the Rift. Granted there are approximately of 600 of them (16 of them are copies of Vector himself, while 50 are copies of Renzo/Stretcher, Tom/Replicate, and Jax/Climate as the rest are the L-Crew and their children). Behind the champions are the two Mavericks, Spiritus and Materia with their weapons and arcana.
Lynn/Power Girl: You just had to ask!
Vector: This is what I can do. All of me and your copies against all of you. With Chaos's power in me, I can command these abominations to do my biding. How can you possibly hope to defeat me?
Lori/Savitara: Like we, the Louds always do. [starts a running man stance]
Luan/Mystica: Mess with one of us… [conjure mystical force orbs]
Leni/Gemini Girl: [cloning] You mess with all of us.
Sam/Genoracker & Tom/Replicate: Together as one… [Sam loads her gun as Replicate conjures flames]
Materia and Spiritus: Like a family!
Logan/Knightwing: L-Crew! [All gathers into a group] Let's kick his butt!
Lina/Star Hanabi: Charge!
Both teams then rushed at each other and initiated the battle. The two Mavericks then took Desperado Chaos to another part of the Edge of Discord, to the very center of it; the Throne of Bedlam. That way they can fight without worrying the champions from Chaos's power.
Desperado Chaos: I am… the end of all Worlds. Who are you to defy me?… [snarls] This world is my right!
Spiritus: Your reign had ended long ago, Delgaia. You are not needed for you serve purpose no more.
Desperado Chaos let out a loud roar.
Materia: The Dragon Shinryu deceives you son of Pandora. But I guess there is no choice. A savage beast such as you deserves a savage end!
Spiritus: Then let us give it to him, Materia.
Materia: Prepared as you are!
The two Mavericks then creates two barrier seals of blue and red. Then while Chaos is being contained, the son of Pandora tries to break the barrier but fails.
Spiritus: You wanted mercy? You shall receive none!
Materia: Return to the Void!
The energy within the barrier then spikes high until a beam of light arose from it. It disintegrated Chaos and turned into a dark orb of energy. A portal to the Void then appears and sent the orb there, this time the pathway is sealed shut so that he cannot return for another thousands or millions of years/eons.
Materia: That should do it. The Ein Sof twins will be pleased to know that he's back to the Void. Pandora should make sure he does not escape once more.
Spiritus: If this squabbling ends, maybe she will. Her and her Brother will make sure the balance in all of reality will be maintained. Come, Materia. Let us return to the champions aid.
At the battle with Vector. The two speedsters [Lori/Savitara and Rory/Mercury Girl] rushes through against their copies. Although their manikins had almost the same powers, it is only inferior versions due to their abominable, imperfect state. Roby absorbs and transforms his body into Orichalcum blades, a material known to be extremely adamant yet light. Considered to be a divine material/mineral with Mythril as second or a tie to first and Adamantine and Vibranium as their Earthly counterpart. With this material he can transform into a living weapon. He got it from those who traversed the Land of Midas to fill the Eldorado's Gold.
Roby/Titanium Titan: I'm so going to give this to dad. Maybe he'll think twice of grounding us.
Leni/Gemini Girl created thousands of clones of herself while Gema with her seven virtue clones and Mina her Yin and Yang selves. The manikins doesn't have the same ability so they only rely on sheer numbers. Lucky for the girls, the can keep up the increase due to rigorous training.
Sam/Genorocker blasts with her cannons while her manikins also did the same. However, she wasn't defenseless as her two children, Lina/Star Hanabi and Lars [Eclipse]/Capt. Thunder are there to protect her. Tom/Replicate is underneath his daughter and grandchildren, firing a barrage of elements and speeding through enemies. Jax/Climate unleash the Aether element and fired energy blasts in a wave of succession. Renzo/Stretcher used his rubber-like structure to zip through the air and hammerfists the ground with a durably hard flail fist, [similar to Luffy's power]. However, one Replicate manikin got Tom in a self-destruct strike. This injured the copycat and had to stay down for a while.
Jax/Climate: Renzo, get Tom to his family for safety.
Tom/Climate: I… thought… you hated me.
Renzo/Stretcher: Stop complaining. We ain't doing this for pity. We need you for our butt's survival.
Jax/Climate: Come on! Walk it off!
Renzo/Stretcher got Tom/Replicate to Sam and her two children. The Sharp family then unites in the middle of the fray.
Lars/Eclipse & Lina: Grandpa!
Sam/Genorocker: Dad!
Tom/Replicate: Just a scrape. I'll be fine. Besides, if I die, I'll return the world without my memories here.
Sam/Genorocker: Don't say anything else! You're gonna be okay. We'll get you out of here.
Tom/Replicate: Listen, Sam. I never got to say this. And maybe I won't say it back home so… I'm sorry… for a lot of things. And I proud of you. I'm glad I get to be your father even if you don't get to see it that way. You… don't have to forgive me. I deserve it for all my wrongs. But I'll always love you, never forget that.
Sam/Genorocker: I… forgave you. Ever since I got Luna, ever since I got Lina… I've already forgave you. And I understand what you went through. After all, my donor also did the same as you. But I know Luna, Simon and our future child are safe back there.
Lina/Star Hanabi: We can't be complete without you grandad!
Lars[Eclipse]/Capt. Thunder: Don't give up, grandpa!
Tom/Replicate: Oh, and another thing… if you successfully got that white-haired idiot back. Sam, Lina… for leaving you guys for the second time… give him hell. Make him wanna stay. Scold him, slap him, butcher him if you have to. Do this not just for me, but for all of us. Make sure he gets the message.
Lina/Star Hanabi: Hehe… I'll smother him if I have to.
Sam/Genorocker: Luna and I will make sure to give him a taste of what he did to us.
Tom/Replicate: That's… my girl.
Tom/Replicate fainted.
Sam/Genorocker: Dad!
Lars[Eclipse]/Capt. Thunder: Don't worry. He's just asleep. I can still use my angelic powers to heal him but he still ran out of stamina. He needs rest.
Lina and Sam nodded as the go back to the battle while hiding Tom away from risk and danger. The Agni Kai girls are at the west side of the battle, attempting to gain a proper grounding from the battle to avoid getting surrounded. Liby/Invisi-Girl and Luan/Mystica creates a large force shield from the rain salvo of Vector and his manikin copies while keeping the fight on land. Lana/Huntress and Hunter/Mr. Beast transforms into a dragon and a leviathan and mowed down the manikins with fire blasts and pressured waters. Lola and Leia are on the two faun's heads, firing crystal shards at aerial manikin units.
Lynn/Power Girl is in a continuous combo and is gaining extra power for each hit she successfully lands on every of her manikins. Revy/Parkour Jr is doing the same and when she stockpiled enough kinetic energy for all the blows, she activates Limit Break and jumps to the air before landing a powerful axe kick [similar to Tsunade's Heavenly Kick of Pain but on a comparable strength as All Might's One For All - United States of Smash]. Lisa/Omniscience and Solomon/Dr. Brainiac creates massive meteorites with their psychical powers/telekinesis and smashes multitudes of manikins. Then any charging units at them, they just rip them apart with psychokinesis.
All that is left is Vector. His manikins are now setting up and gathering energy for a massive death ball. Logan/Knightwing, Lyle[Toby]/Sunspot, Lita[Rochelle]/Firesurge and Jor-El/Blazeboy chases after Vector before he can launch the death ball at them. Vector is now at a 4v1 battle against the Hatchling of the Phoenix.
Vector: All of you will die at my feet and I will purge every last one of you. Then from your corpses, I will build a monument to all nonexistence!
Lyle[Toby]/Sunspot: Not if we stop you first!
Logan/Knightwing: You should know, even if a Phoenix dies, we will always be reborn. To rekindle the flames that once lost!
Lita[Rochelle]/Firesurge: So just give up already! You ain't purging anybody!
Jor-El/Blazeboy: As long as we are around, the sun shall rise a new dawn to all of creation.
Vector then charges at the four Hatchling and fired an energy beam. Jor-El clashes with a wave of fiery beam with Lyle/Sunspot's solar blast. Logan/Knightwing then nears Vector and strikes his spear but Vector notices and dodges. Lita[Rochelle]/Firesurge attacks with radioactive bursts of blasts and hits Vector. This gives Logan an opening and strikes his spear and impaled Vector. Vector then retreats and had the death ball ready to be fired at them. At launch, the four created beams of energy and fire to slow down the incoming bomb.
Logan/Knightwing: We can't hold it much longer.
Emerson/Void Dark: Then let me try.
Emerson then uses his cane [Farneus] into a spear and javelin toss the spear into the energy ball. The spear hits the incoming ball and is absorbing and reducing the energy input from the death ball. This enables the four Hatchling to push the death ball towards Vector's manikins, eliminating them in the process.
Vector: Impossible!
Emerson/Void Dark: And it grew both day and night. Till it bore an apple bright. And mine foe beheld it shine, and knew that 'twas mine. This is our combined strength. Now perish, you fiend!
The death ball is reduced to a smaller orb and the wave of fiery energies swirls and confronts Vector. And to his face, his flesh, his own body, burnt alive into the powers of the Hatchling. Vector then fall from the sky and all of his manikins are reduced to nothing.
Logan/Knightwing: It's finally finished.
Emerson/Void Dark: No, not yet. He's still alive.
Lyle[Toby]/Sunspot: Then let's…
Emerson/Void Dark: [grabs his falling cane/spear Farneus] No… I must see this end. With my own hands. I wanted to wash my transgressions by finally stopping Vector.
Emerson walks towards Vector and places his foot onto the monster.
Emerson/Void Dark: Do not struggle for if you cannot defeat me, you've already lost.
Vector: I cannot lose… not to them!
Emerson/Void Dark: You are in fright.
Vector: Of you? Laughable.
Emerson/Void Dark: Of death. You escape the void so to live. And now you'll return there. You're the last of my ancestor's monstrosity.
Vector: You were meant to be the last. From the cells of Andrew Tetherby, descendant of Cain the murderer. He asked for a relief, someone to save him from this madness. Yet he settled to a demon's bargain.
Emerson/Void Dark: We are both his disappointments. But At the very least, I tried to be perfect. Now, what is yours is now mine. [Prepares to impale Vector with his cane] As thine branches mix with mine. And our roots together joined.
Emerson impaled Vector and his essence are now absorbed into the Farneus cane. This made Emerson recovered from his injuries and regained composure of himself.
Logan/Knightwing: Well?
Emerson/Void Dark: It is finished. We shall return to the divinities shortly.
Lyle[Toby]/Sunspot: Awesome! Now I can go back home with a new future. But what happened to Vector?
Emerson/Void Dark: His essence are now part of mine just like before. But this time, I have control of his destructive instincts so it will never harm a life ever again. He had been returned… to whence he came.
Logan/Knightwing: Good. I guess that's the last of him. All that is left is to settle things with my dear old dad.
Emerson/Void Dark: I know. But we are here for you. Whatever happens, don't doubt yourself. Do what must be done.
Logan/Knightwing: Look at you giving advice! I'd agree but what happened to the old, timid, you!?
Flashback
Young Emerson: I have no name… I am but two days old…
Lincoln/Firecracker [before becoming the Phoenix King]: I see. Hmm. Project E… how about… Emerson. Emerson Tetherby or Loud, perhaps.
Flashback ends
Emerson/Void Dark: Heh, I have no recollection.
Logan/Knightwing: Whatever… Ready?
Emerson/Void Dark: Let's find out then
-END-
-Music-
Unbroken silence
In jewel of an island
Chasing the light & found a big shadow
Standing in the darkness
Bear my loneliness
Light and shadow stare me for eternity
I'm dreaming over time clearly to understand a calling given
by the everlasting
I can't stop the urge to destroy
It infects like a rising flames
Brainwashed strange world in reality
I can't take anymore
We lose track of the preciousness of our life like a shot
Fall into the slough of ruin
But I can change my future
-Choir and Music ends-
AN: Man, that took a whole week for this. The next chapter is now the finale. Although I do encourage anybody to create different "alternative endings" based on what they want in this fanfic. And I might change the finale music's opening and/or ending music. But what music lyrics should I use? [My first idea is: Bury the Light by "Casey Edwards" from DmC5 Special Edition as the ending theme and Inferno by "Mrs. Green Apple" as opening theme]. Once this is finished, I can finally go back in making Bloody Roar Loud and probably these other two
Club of Myth-fits [possible continuation if crafordbrian17 just simply… whatever]
Project Xcalibur Overall/Overlord Finale [might be at most 2-3 chapters as finale]
Also what do you think of Marvel vs MHA or a x-over of Fire Force x TLH/TC
Some characters belongs to a fellow DeviantArtist NBWatts and Ben10Man/JakeVoronkov. Very good friends of mine.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading. Leave a like, review, follow and as always: God Bless, Stay Safe and Peace/Shalom!
