Feelings And New Developments.
While the leaders were working on new plans to combat the villains, everyone else had little more to do than rest up, train or volunteer to scouting missions. The Symbiote army hadn't been seen in a while, like they just vanished, so the plan on stopping them had been put on hold for now, but they were ready to resume the plan if the situation changes again. Right now, Laura was sitting outside the base, because she needed some space. She was growing restless from the lack of things to do. There was an army of super villains out there, yet they hadn't made any major things to stop them since their attack on the main base. They had been on the defensive for long enough, they would need to go on the offense soon, or this would be pointless.
"Are you alright?" Came a voice that nearly made Laura jump, she was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice someone was approaching her. This is something that almost never happened to her before.
She turned her head and saw who it was "Alucard...".
The half human vampire walked up next to her "I haven't seen you at all today. Is something bothering you?".
"Sorry, I didn't mean to avoid you. I just needed some time alone so I could think for a bit" Laura answered, feeling a little guilty that she had just walked out of the base without telling anyone.
"I understand. You are frustrated with the current situation, you want to go out there and punish the villains, and you feel like you are being caged until the leaders are ready to release you on them" Alucard said.
"Do you have a mind reading power I never knew about?" Laura asked.
Alucard chuckled a little "I don't need such an ability to tell what you are feeling. Your face says it all".
"If you say so..." Laura said before suddenly something appeared in front of her face, it was a necklace, with some kind of gem "Huh?".
"This is for you" Alucard said.
"Where did you get it?" Laura asked in surprise.
"I made it myself. While I was exploring the outside for a bit, I found the gem, and I could feel power from it, power that can keep you safe. And I wanted you to have it so you would remember me" Alucard said.
"Remember you?" Laura asked.
"Remember Laura. Our goal is to stop the villains and restore our universes back to normal. When that happens, we might never see each other again, so I wanted to make sure I gave you this before that happens" Alucard explained.
Laura got wide eyes, of course, after everything that's happening she had completely forgotten that one day soon, everyone will have to go back to their own worlds, and the chances of them meeting again is slim to none. She couldn't believe she forgot about that. Had she remembered... maybe she wouldn't have gotten so close to the people from the other worlds. The thought of never seeing them again was very painful.
"I-I can't accept it" Laura said.
"You don't like it?" Alucard asked.
"That's not it at all! I just, forgot all about the whole alternate universe thing for a while. We shouldn't get to close, or it will be painful to say goodbye" Laura said.
"Don't you think it's far to late for that now?" Alucard asked.
He had a point. During their time here, Laura and Alucard had grown very close, closer than either of them ever noticed until now. Which would make saying goodbye very difficult. Still Laura was hesitating.
"Maybe, but still..." Laura said while looking away.
Alucard put his hand on her cheek and gently made her look at him "I know how you feel, Laura. But there is one solution to this. If possible, when the time comes for the worlds to be restored back to normal... maybe you can come with me".
"What?" Laura asked in surprise.
"Come with me Laura. Come back to my world. There we can see each other as much as we want. And maybe, even have a future together" Alucard said.
Laura hesitated a little "But, if that is an option. Why not just come back to my world?".
"If I could I would. But my world needs me. Only I can make sure my father never returns. I am no questioning the abilities of the Belmont blood line, but they can only hold back Chaos for so long. And if their blood line ever ends, then I will be more needed than ever" Alucard explained.
"I understand... But I don't know..." Laura admitted.
"I understand why you hesitate. This is a very big decision I put on you, so I apologize for that. But you don't need to decide right now, you have until the time comes to decide. Until then, please accept this necklace" Alucard said.
"Alright" Laura said and allowed Alucard to put the necklace on her "It is beautiful...".
Alucard smiled at that "A beautiful necklace for a beautiful girl".
Laura blushed a little at that before Alucard put his fingers under her chin. They looked each other in the eyes before leaning forward and kissed. After a while, Alucard picked Laura up and carried her inside. There were some thing one could only do in the privacy of a bed room. Laura blushed at the thought of what she knew was coming. Yes, her and Alucard had grown very close since they first met. How it happened is anyone's guess, but it did.
Several hours later, Laura and Alucard were sharing his bed. Neither of them were wearing clothes under the blanket and both had just finished some love making. Alucard was rubbing Laura's cheek, and said girl smiled at that.
"You are so beautiful. Both in body and soul" Alucard said.
"First time someone has said that to me. For a vampire you are very gentle. Unless you are seducing me so you can drink my blood" Laura said, but had a teasing tone in her voice.
Alucard chuckled "I don't like the taste of blood. So no need to worry about that".
"Good to know" Laura said until there was a knock on the door, making Alucard sigh in annoyance.
"Stay here, I will answer the door" Alucard said as he got out of bed, pulled on his pants and opened the door "Can I help you?".
"Something new has come up, something that might be more up your alley" The Man at the door was non other than Logan, who then quickly noticed something "Did I interrupt anything?".
"Nothing you need to concern yourself with" Alucard said calmly.
Logan narrowed his eyes "I have to disagree, because if what I am smelling is right then-".
"Wait! It's ok!" Laura called out as she showed up with the blanket wrapped around her body, the moment she heard her father's voice she knew she had to intervene before something happened "We'll be right out, just wait for us, ok!".
"Oh..." Logan said before clearing his throat "Right, I will just wait until you two are ready. I will wait down the hall".
"Much appreciated" Alucard said calmly before closing the door.
"Well... that was awkward" Laura said while rubbing her face.
She hoped whatever happened could be a good distraction.
Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy had landed in a rocky area. Why? Because the ship needed to be repaired after another not so smooth flying. Rocket was growling as he was working on fixing the damages, the engines took a nasty beating and most of the power had been cut. Who would've known flying through a cosmic storm could damage the ship this much?
"I tried to tell you guys, going around the storm would've taken longer, but it would've been safer" Molly said.
Rocket growls "And I told you to shut-".
"I am Groot!" Groot warned his friend.
"What? I wasn't going to curse!" Rocket said defensively.
Groot narrowed his eyes "I am Groot".
"Of course I wouldn't do that! What do I look like, an Animal?" Rocket asked.
Molly decided to stay out of this argument. Ever since she joined with the group, she had learned how they work. Everyone were so different, so at first glance this team shouldn't function at all, with the nearly endless bickering between them. Yet somehow, when it comes down to it, they all work together perfectly. Just goes to show even the most unlikely of friends can be the most effective teams.
"Rocket still to angry to be talked to?" Gamora asked as she was sharpening her sword.
"Yes... honestly I am surprised you all have managed to stay together for this long" Molly admitted.
"Yeah, we've come close to splitting up more than a few times. But we always realize we are better of staying together than being sepirate. And to be honest, we are the best family we can have" Gamora said.
"Did you lose your old family?" Molly asked, but regretted her question when she saw Gamora's face darken.
"Some of us did. Me? Let's just say my old family is not one anyone would want to be a part of" Gamora said before looking at Molly "Want to know what my family was like? The one I had before this one?".
"Not if you don't want to" Molly said.
Gamora sighed "You might as well know, since I have a feeling you will be staying with us for a while. My father's name was Thanos, one of the most evil beings in the universe. He is set on destroying everything in order to please his mistress Death. We haven't encountered him here yet, but I can feel that he is here somewhere. No way several universes can merge like this without Thanos ending up her too".
Molly was silent for a moment before she asked "What did he do to you?".
Gamora did not answer at first, but before she could Peter spoke "Hey everyone! I got good news and better news. Good news, we got the communication up and running. The better news is we are already detecting another ship, hold on and I will try to contact them".
"We can talk more later... or not" Gamora said as she stood up and walked away.
Molly looked down as Mantis put a hand on her shoulder.
"Testing, testing. Hello? Can anyone hear me?" Peter asked through the communicator.
There was some static but finally another voice came through "We read you. What is your situation?".
"Thank god finally! Our ship is damaged, we could use a little help" Peter said.
"Understood. We got your location, sit tight we're on our way" The voice said before ending the communication.
The guardians gathered outside and waited until a much larger ship arrived. The ship landed and opened up... safe to say the crew was not what they expected. The group was made up of animals. A Fox, a Frog, a Hare, a Falcon and a Feline girl.
"Friends of yours Rocket?" Molly asked.
"Never seen them in my life" Rocket answered.
"You the guys who needed help?" The Fox asked.
"Yeah, that's us" Peter answered.
"My name is Fox McCloud, leader of Star Fox" The Fox introduced himself before motioning to the others "These guys are, Slippy Toad, Peppy Hare. Krystal and Falco Lombardi".
"Nice to meet you guys. I am Peter Quill, this is Rocket Raccoon, Gamora, Mantis, Drax, Groot and our newest member, Molly. We are called the Guardians of the Galaxy, and I am the leader" Peter said.
"No need to try an impress our new friends here, Quill" Gamora said.
"Guardians of the Galaxy? Never heard of you" Falco said.
"Different universe, long story" Rocket said.
Fox blinked "A story I would love to hear. Maybe you could tell us while we work on getting your girl here up and running again".
"I can help! I love fixing stuff!" Slippy said.
"You better not mess her up!" Rocket warned.
"If you are trying to look scary, you are not doing a very good job" Falco said.
"Careful there buddy, or I might be hungry for chicken" Rocket said with a growl.
"I would like to see you try" Falco challenged as they glared at each other.
Fox sighed "Knock it of Falco".
"You too Rocket. Let's try avoding picking fights with the first people we've found since Molly" Peter added.
Peppy rubbed his head "Young ones these days, no manners at all".
"Does this happen often with your team?" Krystal asked Gamora.
"To often" Gamora answered.
Molly remained silent. She hoped nothing bad would happen... who was she kidding? Something bad always happened.
Meanwhile, Lucina was still lost in the life stream. She was getting frustrated that she still couldn't find a way out. But then she sensed someone was coming. She sighed as she thought she knew who it was.
"I told you already, Sephiroth, if you are not going to let me out then-" She began but stopped when she saw who it was "Wait... you are not Sephiroth".
"No I am not. The name is Mephiles The Dark. I've been trying to enter this place for a while now. And now I finally have. This is a very interesting place you got here, human" The Dark being known ad Mephiles said.
"This is not my home. I am trapped here" Lucina said, but she could feel something was very wrong about this creature. The fact he is called The Dark, didn't help much.
"Trapped? Then who is in control here?" Mephiles asked.
"That would be me" Both looked and saw Sephiroth "I thought I could sense an infestation here. You are not welcomed here, creature. Be gone".
Mephiles chuckled darkly "Brave words, for a mortal".
"I am no mere mortal. I am a God" Sephiroth said.
"A god you say? Very well, prove it. Try to make me leave" Mephiles challenged.
Sephiroth readied his sword. Two powerful beings were about to clash... and Lucina was caught in the middle of it all.

First official parring of the story. Don't like it? That's fine, but keep your opinion to yourself.

Other than that. Tell me what you think
