Okay, admittedly, this chapter is less of a proper normal chapter, more of a collection of snippets, amusing moments and general fuckery before Akari and company move on to another location.

Now, a very important question befalls you all. Akari normally goes to singular Universes, but there is a segment of fanfiction for X-overs, a generality of all the different Universes. I could have the format of the story change so that each chapter or two chapters or whatever is in a different Universe, allowing for shorter chapters that jump across different Universes.

Is that something you all would prefer, or would you rather I focus on one Universe at a time, as I have already been doing?

Chapter 18

"I would rather burn this land than see it fall into your depraved hands!"

Flexing her arms for emphasis, Akari watched as her armies sprayed acid across the ground, burning pockmarks into the ground, melting the trees into nothingness and utterly devastating the land. Beside her, her doppelganger looked on with her arms folded, though her lips were curled up slightly in amusement. "Oh ho, is that so? Well then, my armies will simply have to return the favour!"

From the receding forest poured a horde of mechanical spiders, charging towards Akari's lines with the tenacity that only machines were capable of. "Drats, hidden reserves!" Akari flicked her eyes towards the 'city' she was defending, and from it came squads of bipedal soldiers, hurrying towards the section of her line that her doppelganger was assaulting.

After taking her to see the Death Star in an alternate and normal version of Star Wars, Akari had asked her what she wanted to do, and after a few requests she didn't want to fulfil for reasons of being a bit too kinky like tying up Thanos and spanking him with a novelty hand or finding characters in compromising positions, her doppelganger eventually suggested having a strategy battle. That was something that she actually agreed with, and quickly found a game she could use as a basis, one with robotic soldiers they could fling at each other without care.

Using the costs and whatnot of that game to decide how many of each unit they could have, Akari set up a physical terminal that her clone could use to spawn the units she wanted. That way she wouldn't have the unfair advantage of knowing what her army composition was. She could still estimate how much army value she had left hidden by the troops, but that was honestly boring. It was way more fun to suddenly have surprises.

Unfortunately for her doppelganger, the troops that Akari had brought out had machine-gun laser rifles, which were perfect for shredding hordes of lightly armoured mechanical spiders. If her doppelganger had brought out heavy units then Akari would have been a bit more pressed as she had less armour-piercing troops available. "Hm, I see, so that's your plan...but how do you plan to counter...this!" Glancing at the girl carrying her own face, Akari raised an eyebrow, and giggled lightly when her arms dropped and she slumped forwards with a frown. "They were meant to be here by now..."

"Oh, if you were referring to those subterranean diggers you sent to undermine the city, I think they ran into the lava lake beneath my city. Too bad, so sad." Her doppelganger stared at her for a moment before glancing at the city, then across the forest to her own city. Finally, she growled lowly, jabbing a finger at her with her face scrunched up in faux-anger.

"Cheater!"

After a few more rousing rounds of combat, Akari deleted the planet she had formed from nothingness to serve as their battleground, then asked what her doppelganger wanted to do next.

"Uhh, well first, I think we need to sort out names. I can't use Akari because, well, I mean you're the one that came first. But I don't want to be called Akari the Second, that's just dumb. So, what about Akali? Or is that too close...probably too close, we'd end up mishearing our names constantly if someone tried to get our attention." Her doppelganger cocked her hip to the side and placed a hand there. "What about Alaria?"

Humming, it took Akari a moment to process the name, then turned to look at her with confusion. "Wait, you want to take Alaria's name? I mean, she was nice, and obviously we both love the name, but...I don't know. I mean, it's your name choice after all, if you want to be called Alaria I'm fine with that." She said with a shrug, her mind casting back to before she had died.

Alaria, a name she honestly hadn't thought about since before she had died. She had been a friendly face amongst the carnage, willing to trade stuff with Akari. They'd even spent an occasional evening together, though the constant combat going on didn't let them really get too deep into things, especially since they both always had a weapon in reach in case somebody stumbled across them. But it was still a pleasant relationship nonetheless. "I think she wouldn't mind."

"You know, I could reconstitute an identical version of her..." The stare from the newly-dubbed Alaria very quickly put that notion in the ground, and honestly, she agreed with it. Reconstituting herself was one thing, but doing it to someone else wasn't. Sure, she had done it before, bringing Tachiko back from the dead, but...it was almost like a taboo doing it to someone else from before she had died.

Of course, it was taboo to do it regardless, and maybe one day she'd bring Alaria back, but it wouldn't be that day.

"Stop, and say that to me again."

Alaria blinked at her before repeating what she had just said. "Have you gone and done anything to the Kree yet? They are slavers after all." Running her mind back, Akari honestly failed to even recall their existence. "I mean, you're me, and that means we've both seen that one episode of the show with the Kree controlling the Lighthouse after the Earth was torn apart by that chick and selling Inhumans into slavery."

Blinking, Akari tried to remember that and failed, slumping slightly. "Honestly, I can't remember. I...hang on." Snapping her fingers, Akari willed herself to be able to recall anything she knew previously about the Kree, her teeth exposed as she pulled her lips back into a snarl. "Oh, we're going to fucking butcher those blue cunts." At Alaria's slightly bemused expression, she closed her eyes. "I have a bit of a hatred of slavers and rapists, especially rapists. I'd be happy to give every rapist, male or female, a very close and personal surgery with the blunt edge of a Kunai."

As she spoke, she went over what she had forcibly brought back into her memory. While it was an alternate timeline and an opportunistic business move, it proved that Kasius, the Kree responsible for the Lighthouse, was more than capable of being an utter piece of shit that she wanted to crush. Along with it, she remembered all the other things, the Silencing Implant, the Metrics, all of which made Akari want to simply teleport Kasius in front of her so she could rip his spine out.

But no, she wanted to find a better way to deal with it. Thanks to her little memory boost, she knew that Sakaarans were a client race to the Kree, and considering how gladiators were literally slaves, obviously the Kree didn't care about stopping slavery. They instigated war with the Skrulls, used propaganda to galvanize their population, and generally were a waste of space so big she felt that calling the higher-ups scum was reasonable.

That didn't mean she wanted to perform galactic genocide on them. Sure, the populace were also fighting the Skrulls, but that was because of propaganda. If the complete and pure truth was put in front of them, they'd likely be horrified. There'd always be the die-hard patriots who would refuse to even acknowledge irrefutable evidence, but they would be the minority. Deciding to exercise her power more, she recalled all the information she had ever looked at regarding the Kree, quickly disseminating the facts and coming to one simple conclusion and an equally simple resolution. The Kree Empire cared about one thing and one thing only: Itself. All she had to do was tear down that Empire.

Not exactly what she had in mind when she got up from the last time she bothered to go to sleep, but it'd at least be interesting.

"Okay, I know you said you could literally delete the Universe, but this...this is still fucking terrifying and impressive."

Grinning widely, Akari looked out over the fleets of ships she had assembled, a small fraction of which came from her inventory as a reminder of her past, and the vast majority of which she had spontaneously created. In order to show off even more, she had entirely re-constituted the internals of all the ships that weren't from her inventory, filling their insides first with automated control systems that would take over from having to crew it with something else, then with extra goodies like sub-reactors, weapon systems, hangars featuring similarly automated fighters, basically anything that she could stuff into it.

A lot of things like living quarters, cargo holds, mess halls, corridors and other unnecessary parts had been entirely removed, so it was unfortunately impossible to actually go inside the ships, much to Alaria's dismay. What was possible was wandering around in the Venators, Arquitens, Acclamators and Peltas she had in her inventory. More than a few times she got to witness Alaria being completely stunned by one thing or another in the ships, as though she was still processing the fact that she was actually walking around inside of a starship.

And honestly, Akari herself found wandering around the ships a fairly refreshing reset of her point of view on things. She wasn't sure who said it, but there was a saying that one person, no matter how powerful, couldn't win in a galaxy-scale war. That even for all their power, they simply were too limited, that it was the actual factions that mattered, not the person. Of course, that saying could only be used when it didn't relate to beings like herself who could bring entire fleets into existence casually.

It was aided by the fact that thanks to her clones being the ones that had originally crewed those ships, modifying them to be automated was actually a lot easier than it should have been. Not an easy task, obviously, but the fact she knew what kind of parameters the ships would best use meant she could tweak them, adding subroutines for certain actions. "I know...enjoy!"

Akari could swear right then and there that she'd never seen anyone more excited than Alaria.

"So this is why fleets aren't controlled by one person."

Watching another Venator go up in a glorious, if fake, explosion, Akari nodded thoughtfully. Alaria was excited about taking command of the fleet, right up until she realized how difficult controlling hundreds of capital-class vessels was, as well as the innumerable swarms of fighters that they contained. Akari hadn't actually bothered making things simple for her with delegatable commands, she simply connected Alaria to the vessels, setting her as the one in control of them all, then let her have a go.

At the start, she could barely make them move without accidentally colliding at least a few ships together. As she put in more practice and got used to issuing commands simply through her mind, she was able to start using slightly more complicated maneuvres like splitting the fleet and flanking, deliberately using the verticality of space to come in from more directions, all in the instance of war games, her ships simulating combat between them.

Akari took up command of the other fleet, but unlike Alaria, her clones and she herself had plenty of experience in ship-to-ship combat, so she was able to put her own vessels to far greater use. Flanks, pincers, boarding actions, she was able to rather cruelly decimate Alaria's fleet. She didn't do it just to show off, though that was part of it. She did it to force Alaria to learn quickly, to figure out her shortcomings and work on them.

Of course, it was also because Alaria had literally no experience whatsoever, so it was understandable that she lost. What Akari wouldn't allow was for her to keep losing without improving. As such, she commandeered control of the entire fleet after her defeat and sent them back to starting positions, all the while pointing out various things Alari did or didn't do that would have changed the outcome of the battle.

She didn't begrudge her requests for more intelligent automated control of the ships, since nobody was even meant to control that many vessels, even Akari herself was a bit pressed processing everything that was going on and acting upon it. But, other than that, Alaria honestly wasn't half bad, she was just lacking experience. If Akari could do it, Alaria also would, given time to practice.

And what better way to practice than a trial by fire?

"-sunuva fucking cunting whorish piece of shit!"

Covering her mouth to avoid laughing, Akari peeked to the side to see Alaria grinding her teeth together, forced to watch another of her ships be torn to pieces thanks to a slightly unconventional tactic which Akari dubbed the 'Tractor Beam Tear', whereby she had a bunch of ships latch onto an unshielded opponent with their tractor beams and literally tear the ship in two. It wouldn't work if the target had shields, but as long as the shields were down and there were enough ships nearby, it'd be an efficient and frankly hilarious way to destroy an enemy ship.

The best part was that Akari was playing with a handicap, or rather two handicaps. The first was that she had a fleet half the size of Alaria, and the second was that her weapons were at half strength. Of course, her tractor beams weren't weapons, so they were still at full strength, but she knew Alaria would ask if she could also nerf her tractor beams because it was a 'bullshit strategy'.

She didn't handicap herself just because Alaria was learning and needed the help, she also did it because it was good practice for fighting with a disadvantage. Of course, fleet to fleet combat posed literally zero threat to her, if her fleet was losing she could either spawn more units in or just teleport away, but it was still useful to learn how to fight from a bad position.

Rather than run at Alaria's ships and die uselessly, she used the resources she had available, short-range tactical jumps using the hyperdrives in her ships to strategically reposition her small fleets, hit and run tactics against pockets of ships she drew out from Alaria's main fleet, striking from beyond regular engagement range with massed firepower before then using said tactical jumps to leave the area before counter fire could arrive.

When these various tactics were added together, it ended up that Alaria's fleet was picked apart while Akari's fleet only took a handful of losses from bad luck or through inevitable trading during the larger battles. When Alaria's fleet was sufficiently depleted, Akari sprung her final trap, using her ship thrusters to literally throw an asteroid through her fleet, throwing it into disarray before moving in with all her ships. Said asteroid also had some of her stores of ground-based anti-ship weapons, so as it flew through the fleet, it blasted away at the ships around it and really agitated Alaria.

Sending another wolf-pack to blast an isolated Venator to pieces, Akari reached over and patted Alaria's shoulder, drawing her attention. "Don't worry, I do have like...the equivalent of about a few hundred years of commanding ships from my clones captaining the different ships in the fleet. So, not to be patronizing, but it genuinely and honestly is just a question of experience."

Alaria looked at her for a moment before sighing and looking back out the window. "I know. But you also obviously know that we don't like to be on the losing side of anything. Hell, even if we knew it would be better to let someone else win if only to assuage their anger, we never were able to do it, even if it cost us those friendships. So, I don't know, maybe it'd be better if it was us two vs automated hostile ships, that way I don't get too pissed off at you." Grinning, Akari made a mental note to do just that, whilst at the same time tearing another of her ships apart. "And if you do that again I swear I'll put salt in your sugar, I swear to fucking god."

"To quote that russian hockey player guy...'why you heff to be mad?'" Akari said innocently, yelping as Alaria lunged for her. She hopped backwards, grinning at her. "It's only a game, why you have to be mad?" Akari laughed as Alaria growled again and threw a bowl of chocolate at her, making her narrow her eyes in faux-anger. "How dare thee waste such fine chocolate!"

With that, she grabbed the bowl and threw it back, followed by leaping at Alaria and very swiftly headlocking her, ruining her hair with a vicious noogie. "Okay, I give, I give!" Akari gave a final scrape before letting Alaria go, tipping her head to the side and fixing Alaria's hair with a wave of her hand. "So, uhh, chocolate?" Akari rolled her eyes, refilling the bowl with chocolate pieces as she sat down and got comfy.

And if Alaria gave her furtive glances as they continued their war game, she acted as though she was oblivious.

"Hey Akari, if we got together, would that count as narcissism?"

Blinking, Akari glanced over at Alaria, who at that moment was enjoying a fully automated deep tissue massage after she decided they deserved to pamper themselves and thus had Akari set up a bunch of rooms in their flagship, an Executor-class Super Star Destroyer that was painted in Akari's favoured red and black. There was an onsen, a cafe, restaurants, a mall, a race track, all of which were in space-expanded rooms. "I mean, I don't think so? You have your own thoughts, feelings and emotions and while we share memories, you've developed your own memories just from the last few...weeks? Months? Whatever. The point still stands. I wouldn't even call it masturbation for the same reason."

"Would it be incest then? Incest is basically two people with similar genes having sex, so considering how I literally am a direct clone of you, it'd be like...super incest or something. Then again, incest is also only really a problem if babies are being made, isn't it? Something about two people with similar genes making a baby that was more likely to have defects and shit."

Akari was about to agree, then stopped. "Hang on...you aren't actually a clone of me though, not technically." Alaria turned her head to give her a questioning look. "You are identical to me just when I died, right?" Alaria nodded, confusion on her face. "But that me isn't the same as the me that I lived as when I got the Game. I died and was born to entirely different parents, so different genes and all that."

"...Huh. I didn't actually consider that. So while obviously we have the same initial parents, you were born to different parents in a second life, which means different genes. So our memories are the same up to that point, but while we had the same genes at that point, your genes are now totally different...hey, do you mind forgetting me asking about us getting together so I can do some kind of grand romantic gesture to get into your pants?"

Blinking at Alaria, Akari snorted, eventually breaking down into laughter, raising a hand with an apologetic look as Alaria's face bunched up in anger. "I swear I'm not laughing at you. You made me realize that I've literally been single for decades." That brought Alaria up short. "Yeah, I never actually had a partner. Back when I was less...well, fucking brokenly powerful, I had a friend who I thought maybe one day I'd get together with, even just casually, but honestly I preferred just keeping her as a friend to go out for dango with."

"I get that. You remember Sarah, right? We could have gone for her that way, but it was way better to just keep her as a friend." Akari nodded in agreement, letting her eyes shut as the machine working her over pressed right between her shoulder blades. "But, I guess that means that we're both the same, but we're also different. To be honest, even if we did have the same DNA, as long as you don't turn one of us into a futanari, it wouldn't even matter."

Akari considered that for a moment, then shook her head. "Even if I did, I could probably just deliberately set us both to be infertile, or just make the child perfectly healthy. But like I said, we probably don't actually share DNA thanks to the fact that this version of me was born from different parents, so all that connects us really is our shared memories. Though, I don't think you really want to be a futa, do you?" Alaria shook her head. "Yeah, me neither."

"I mean, I think it'd be fun to try it out, see how a dick feels and all that, but I think we both know what we prefer. So, about what I said...do you think it'd be too weird? I mean, it's like...kinda selfcest even if we don't actually look the same." Akari shrugged, the action of which disrupted her massage, though she ignored that in favour of giving Alaria a long look.

"Honestly, I don't know. On one hand we both will have the same likes and dislikes are won't really run into that kinda issue, but on the other hand, it does kinda strike out at me as being even more bizarre than bringing you to life in the first place." Alaria pushed off her own masseuse, getting up off her massage bed and kneeling down beside Akari. With confidence that actually surprised Akari, she leaned forward and planted a brief, chaste kiss on her lips, drawing back after only a moment and giving her a genuine smile.

"Well, let's see where things lead and we'll go from there then, hm?"

I swear, at this point this story is utterly just out the window in terms of being reasonable.

When I had Akari bring Alaria to life, it was entirely on a whim. Then whilst writing the naming segment I realized that Akari really has been single for decades now, so who better than her past self to experiment with. They will both have mostly the same likes and dislikes, turn-ons and turn-offs, but it still really strikes out at me as being really freaky.

So honestly I don't know, I might just delete this and rewrite it, depends on how people react to it I guess. I think it's alright, especially since there's no risk of them making a baby, and even if they do decide to do so, it's literally the work of a brief thought for Akari to make sure said baby isn't born deformed or with any issues. But, like I said, I might just say fuck it and delete that section.

Anyways, please review and tell me what direction you want things to go in ^.^

(Also at some point I'm going to fix Akari's stats, that luck is pissing me right off xD)
