"What?! Are you for sure?" Hope asked.

"Yeah...without a doubt. Your buddy Mark, or Ira or whoever he is, just appeared in Shroud and attacked me all cause I slayed Beelzebub." Jack said on a comm.

"I see...any idea where he would head after that?" Hope asked.

"Sorry, he left as quickly as he appeared. Just glad he didn't kill me." Jack said. "By the way, I'm going to be off the grid for awhile so I won't be calling you again after this and you will not be contacting me. Later, brother." he said as the comm went dead.

"So Mark was sighted in the Elemental Universe." Tails said. "I can't quite pin his pattern. He's been travelling to multiple universes and fighting others there."

"Yeah, he even fought the Doom Marine from Doom." Rainbow said.

"Hmm… he's going after people high on the power scale in the Multiverse." Double D said.

"So that's it. He's testing the waters." Ranma said.

"Testing the waters?" Aelita asked.

"It's a term I learned while training in the Fight Universe after the stuff with Barl. It's when a fighter goes against multiple strong opponents in order to gauge their power as well as their own." Ranma said.

"Hmm." Ace said in thought.

"So...could he go after Jexi?" Tanjiro asked.

"Yeah, but that won't help him since no one even knows where Jexi currently is." Dan said.

"This is quite a conundrum, there's a damn angel possessing Mark and we have no way of tracking him." Simon said.

"Hmm...there are spells that could locate him. But for it to work, we would need someone closely related to him like a parent or sibling." Aqua said.

"Hey, we know someone that fits that description!" Eddy spoke up. "Mark's mom and aunt live in Cross-World, in a city in Ohio! Daten City!"

"Panty and Stocking Anarchy?" Double D asked. "Well, if the spell calls for a relative, then I suppose it is worth a shot. Set a course for Daten City in Cross-World!"

"Already on it." Jet said as the ship rocketed off to Cross-World.

Cross-World, Daten City…

The group landed in front of a church on a hill, disembarking and walking up to the front door.

"My, a church huh?" Simon asked.

"Kinda explains Mark's upbringing." Erza said.

"Well, technically he didn't grow up here, but I guess it is appropriate." Shirou said.

"Bayonetta always managed to find a way to attract angels from Paradiso to places like this." Simon said.

"Don't get any ideas, Simon." Eddy said jokingly. "Well, guess we should knock."

"Yeah...you got a point." Vashyron said as he kicked the door open. "Hey, anybody in here?"

The group then saw a black man with an afro and robes hogtying a giant rabbit up, trying to get it under control.

"Just stay down you fuckin' furry!" He said as he tied it up. "If I knew I was gonna have guests, I woulda got you under control sooner."

"Snrk!" Kagura said suppressing a laugh.

"Hey, wait a second." Hope said looking at the man. "Garterbelt, is that you?"

Garterbelt then looked at Hope, then seemed to connect the dots. "Hey… I know that face from anywhere! You're Ginova's kid, ain't ya?"

"I sure am. It's been some time since I've last seen you. I think it was…. About a few years ago?" Hope asked, walking up to the large man.

"What is happening right now?" Eddy asked. "You mean you two know each other?"

"Not directly." Hope said. "When I was still in the Ginova family, my dad used to talk deals with this guy all the time. But that was when I was still a young kid."

"I remember you when you were just a little diaper filler." Garterbelt said. "So, what's the Hero Alliance want with me?"

"Introductions first. Hope, who is this?" Ichiro asked.

"Oh, right!" Hope said, clearing his throat. "Guys, this is Garterbelt. He used to be a top Crime Boss right here in Daten city, but I heard from dad that he was brutally killed. I didn't know he was still alive, or even a Priest at a church for that matter."

"Yeah, I did bite the bullet." Garterbelt said. "But the big guy upstairs decided I could be useful, so he made me immortal and sent me back to the beginning of time. You wouldn't fuckin' believe that crazy shit I got involved in."

"Like the thing with the rabbit?"

"Oh, don't mind that, it's Easter dinner."

"Anyway…" Hope said. "About your question, Garter. A friend of ours has been possessed by a Rogue Angel come back to life, and we want to find him before he causes anymore trouble. I understand that two of his family members live right here in this city. Their names are Panty and Stocking, do you know them?"

"Know them? Man, when those two hoes first fell down here, I picked up their sorry asses and got them slayin' ghosts! Long story short, one got hitched, and they both still mooch off my ass here. So, why you guys need 'em, anyway?"

"Panty's son, Mark… has been possessed by this weird...uh...angel guy and well…" Hope said.

"Her son went nuts and we need her to find him." Bakugo said.

Garterbelt then went quiet, his eyes widening in shock. "...Oh fuck all the ducks, it finally happened." he said as he then raised his head up to the roof. "PANTY! STOCKING! GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE! WE GOT FRIENDS OF THE FAMILY!"

For a moment, all was still. Then, a giant bed came crashing down from the ceiling and landed in between the group and Garterbelt. Following the bed, a girl in gothic lolita clothing landed on the bed, while from under the covers, a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes rose up, clearly not wearing much.

"What the fuck, Garterbelt?!" the blonde yelled. "Brief and I are kinda fucking busy here!""

"And I was eating my damn pudding!" the goth-clothed girl said. "If this is anything short of the fucking Apocalypse, I swear to God I'll castrate your ass!"

"...These two, are Mark's family?" Sonia asked.

"He really must've wanted to kill them if they act like this." Fuyuhiko added.

"Well, he almost killed Panty once… long story, we'll tell ya later." ZS said.

"Apologies ladies. Our priestly friend here. He clearly has no consideration for you lovely ladies." Sanji said.

"Bitches, I'd calm down if I were you." Garterbelt said. "Cause we got some friends of Mark here."

The two girls then looked at the group, silence reigning in the church.

"...Oh shit." Panty said.

"Uh...hi." Hope said. "Listen, there's something we need your help with. Panty and Stocking, right? Your son, Mark? He's been possessed by someone called Ira."

That name caused the two to look at each other, eyes wide before they turned back to the group.

"I'm getting dressed." Panty declared as she threw off the covers. "Hey, Brief! Get your clothes, Mark's in trouble!"

"Mark?! Right, clothes!" a young man with orange hair said as the two raced out of the room.

"I'm starting to like these two." Simon said.

"Not often you say that." Akane said.

"So, Mark finally was pushed over the edge?" Stocking asked, coming up to them. "Glad you guys responded so quickly. You must've really put your plan together."

"...Plan?" Eddy asked.

"Yeah, y'know… when Mark lost it, you'd come here and we'd get everything in order so we could… you have know fucking clue what I'm talking about, do you?"

"Actually, we didn't entirely know about what was going on with Mark until it was right in front of our faces." Hope said.

"...That son of a bitch didn't tell you?!" Stocking exclaimed. "God damn it, Mark! You were supposed to tell them!"

"Tell us what?" Fuyuhiko asked.

Stocking sighed. "Listen… you guys know how angels can fall, right?"

"Yes. Lucifer is an example of a fallen angel." Sheer said.

"Yeah, that bastard." Stocking said. "He fell because of his pride. Well… God decided that it would be an idea to have some angels who… well, were in the gray area. They'd be sinful, but not traditionally evil."

"So it's sort of like a counterbalance. Balance the Demon Lords with powerful angels." Aelita said.

"Yeah. So, the big guy took nine angels and gave them the power of drawing on the sins: your seven deadly sins, plus the bonus package of Melancholy and Vainglory. These nine angels were called the Angels of Vice."

"And what does this have to do with Mark?" Hope asked.

"I'm getting to it, Speedy! Geez… anyway, these nine were a tight nicked group… until one of them fell. See, it was his first solo mission, trying to wipe out a cult that was planning to summon a super powerful demon that could destroy worlds. The angel sent on that mission… was the Vice Angel of Wrath, Ira."

"That's who's possessing Mark right now." Ace said.

"Yeah, something happened on that mission that sent Ira into a rampage. He went crazy and started attacking everything he could. He destroyed five worlds before the rest of the Vice Angels tracked him down, but they couldn't kick his ass alone. They had to get help… from some guy named Gold and his team."

"Jexi's old man...makes sense." Natsu said.

"Yeah, it was a hell of a fight, as far as I can tell. Two angels died in the fight, but in the end, Ira got his head knocked off by the leader of the Vice Angels… his best friend, Superbia." Stocking said. "Decades later, the three angels that died that day all got themselves reincarnated… as the Anarchy Family."

"So why has Ira resurfaced now? Is he out for revenge against Superbia or something?" Zephyr said.

"I don't fucking know!" Stocking said. "What do I look like, a fucking forture teller?"

"Alright alright, calm down!" Akane said. "Look, it doesn't matter if we know what Ira's after or not, we need a hair from Panty since she's his mom."

"So, you need a hair to track down my kid?" Panty said as she walked back into the room wearing a red dress. "Sure, take it!" she said, holding up a single hair for them.

"Okay…" Aqua said as she took it. "Now…"

Back on the Galaxy King…

"We can prepare the spell." Aqua said. "Tails?"

"Right." Tails said pressing a button as a hologram with multiple universes appeared. "This is an estimated map of every universe that's come into existence up to now."

"Right. And now.." Aqua said dropping the hair in as it landed. It soon started to glow as it jumped onto the hologram map. "Now...it should follow his exact movements as of right now."

The hair floated over the edge of the Idol Universe for a short moment before exiting as it headed towards Standard.

"Man, he's moving fast!" Issei said.

"If he's an angel, he doesn't need a ship to fly. Meaning he's this fast without one." Jet said.

"Still...Idol and then Standard. Why go back there to…" Hope said. "Oh...I just realized his plan. He's going to the Color Fighting Temple."

"What? But there's no one of...Rain Bow." Lemon said.

"Rain Bow?!" Scarlet exclaimed. "He's going to fight Master Rain Bow?!"

"That's crazy! Rain Bow is the Grand Master of color fighting, the guy LITERALLY breathes it!" Akane said.

"I'm okay with him fighting others, but we can't let him fight Rain Bow, that's just asking for trouble." Hope said. "Jet! Get us to the Color Fighting Temple as fast as you can!"

"I'll go as fast as I can, but there's no guarantee we'll beat him there." Jet said.

"Just do what you can." Ajna said.

With that, the Galaxy King headed off.

Meanwhile, at the Color Fighting Temple…

"Hmm...seems Hope's flying off the handle about something." Celti said. "But I can't tell what he's trying to say."

"Here. Let me fix that." Skyler said taking the phone and chucking it. "That guy overreacts about the smallest things. I wouldn't give it much...mind?" she said as they and multiple other Color Fighters spotted Ira quickly approaching.

"Hey, isn't that…?" Ender asked before Ira landed, the impact giving off a huge shockwave before he stood and grinned.

"So…" Ira smirked as he took off his gloves. "...Who wants to be my warm-up?"
