Note: This will be an AU, we're ignoring "Doug Out" onwards. With White Diamond using Earth as her entertainment, she'd ensure Earth would be left alone. I will acknowledge the Movie, however, but we're ignoring everything else.
-Hardships and Alliances Arc 2-
White Diamond was more than upset to see that Aquamarine clearly failed in her missions. Blue Diamond did nothing but sulk like a child about not getting her humans. White had visited that Oracle again who was rather vague much to her ire. She simply sent Blue Diamond off the Human Zoo. What could possibly go wrong with that?
-x=O=x-
Abroad Blue Diamond's ship, Blue Diamond was getting a status report from her crew. Blue's thoughts were on Aquamarine and how she was shattered. From what the Sapphires all stated, she was shattered by a human. One with dark skin, black hair, and unnatural green eyes. What White Diamond did not realize was Blue wanted answers…and she was going to find them.

[Rudeeze – A Week Later]
"I can't believe the watch mutated by eye color to green. Not that it isn't cool, but now my Earth license is going to be a hassle." Leo mused.
"Oh yeah, they used to be hazel." Shar remarked. "I believe they stopped being hazel after what you called that 'Zenkai' boost."
The Squad was in the Resistance Headquarters, more specifically, it's labs.
"Zenkai? Care to explain?" Azmuth asked.
"I can." Albedo said using his floating platform to fly up to them. "I need the feature out of inspiration for an Earth program I saw with the concept getting stronger after survival."
"So, it is like Zenkai. I survive nearly dying, and the Omnitrix amps my body up. Which is why I feel stronger and why my eyes are green." Leo said crossing his arms.
"To be fair, that was a side effect." Albedo said as his father glared at him.
"Yo, Leo. We got company." Scarlet said coming down.
"It's a big muscly four-armed woman." Spinel said excitedly.
Leo went up and outside to see Looma and her family there. Apparently, she was done waiting and wanted to fight Leo now. Leo simply handed his blasters and Dawnbreaker to Spinel. He gave his trench coat to Shar before walking forward.
"If you insist on a fight, I'm ready." Leo said darkly.
"But L…"
"Don't worry, I got this, Magistara." Leo said cracking his knuckles.
Looma looked pleased and two combatants were in the Tetramand Battle Arena in the city of Khoros. Leo had exactly learned of their culture, but mostly focused on their strengths and weakness. Leo stood in the arena as his friends and fellow Resistance members looked on in worry.
Leo immediately had throwing stars out zipping at Looma which she proceeded to tank citing they were not enough for her.
"You may want to take a good look." Leo said as Looma looked to see those stars are glowing white.
Those 'throwing stars' were actually made of Leo's ki which promptly blew up in Looma's face creating a cloud of smoke.
"Cheap trick, but it's not enough." Looma said flexing. "Your stars barely hurt."
Leo said nothing as he used the smoke to slink his way to get close to her while keeping his ki low and restrained. Looma looked around trying to find him only to leap out of the smoke managing to grab one of her arms only to get caught.
"So, what was your plan exactly?" Looma said holding him up with another of her arms.
"I see you're holding me by my right arm." Leo said smugly.
"What ab-" Looma said before the Omnitrix glowed. "Oh…"
With a swing, he slammed his heels into Looma's jaw forcing her to let him go as he activated his Omnitrix transforming into a Tetramand. He was now about twelve feet tall with well-developed muscles, two pairs of four-fingered arms, red skin, and he has four green eyes: a main pair, and a smaller pair below them. His outfit was rather changed drastically. The jumpsuit was refitted for his new arms, all four of his hands have plated fingerless, he had black foot wraps on his feet, and he now had dark red armor over him. The armor had numerous metallic plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body. The scarf was still around his neck as the Omnitrix was on a belt on his waist. His hair was still black, but short with a wolf's tail and a goatee.
"You really think turning into a fellow Tetramand will be enough to stop me?" Looma said as Leo cracked his knuckles.
"Yes, it's just a matter of moves." Leo said charging in slugging Looma in the stomach.
She returned with one in the jaw and the fight began for real. An exchange of blows where, despite the increased strength, Leo was on defense having to tank more blows than he gave. Gar sat on the throne with his wife (and Looma's mother) Lian Red Wind who watched intently.
"Looks like your champion isn't enough for my little girl." Gar said a bit smugly to Azmuth.
"And you're a fool." Albedo boldly said. "He's playing her."
"He's right." Lian said icily. "About the playing her. He's on defense and holding back to observe her and her moves."
Lian rose up and shouted, "Looma, do not treat him lightly!"
"But mother, I'm not breaking a sw-"
Looma tasted dirt for the first time today as a surprised Looma was given an uppercut onto her back.
[Cues: Death Battle OST – Four Fist Death Punch]
She had to roll out of the way was a slam that cracked the ground as she saw Leo's eyes. Heightened. Focused and ready to fight. The four-armed fighters got locked in a hand-to-hand struggle. Leo was able to push back Looma until she took advantage of her smaller size and uses her two upper hands to flip Leo's own upper arms and deliver a powerful judo throw that sends him crashing across the cavern floor. He doesn't get a chance to recover as he is tackled into a slam. He pelts Looma's head with two punches and an axe handle before forcefully throwing her off and getting to his feet.
"Get me my war hammer!" Looma said as her mother tossed her hammer.
"Leo, do you need your weapons?" Shar called out.
"No." Leo said rushing in to fight.
The Tertamand Princess wastes no time and charges in with a swing. He dodges it and another one, but she leaps into the air and strikes a downward swing smacking Leo in the jaw. He spat out a bit of blood before but intensifies his glare. He charges forwards using a bit of Krav Magra to disarm her before thrusting her back with all four arms, knocking back the princess. Leo kicked up the hammer and threw it back at her mother.
"Yeah, time I finished this fight." Leo said taking a breath.
"What makes you think you'll finish this fight." Looma said cracking her neck.
Leo wordlessly rushed at her as she responded with a punch only to hit…an afterimage.
[Cues: Def Jam Fight for NY OST – Blazin' Theme 12]
"Looma, behind you!" Lian said as Looma swung only to hit afterimage that exploded into green smoke.
"Where are you?" Looma said only to get tapped on the shoulder. "Who?"
She was punched hard enough in the jaw to be spun around only to be grabbed by her helmet as Leo proceeded to knee her face twice with another to send her staggering back. He made his move in climbing up on her body elbowing her head before backflip to punt Looma into the air. Without even looking back, he smacked her with a backhand right into the arena wall.
[Music Ends]
The crowd in shock as Leo returned to normal having timed out, and Looma got up impressed with Leo. However, she was still a bit upset and the match was not over. She got to her feet only to see Leo fall to his knees screaming as the Omnitrix started his 'Zenkai' process.
"But wh-Of course, he's a genius!" Spinel said.
"What do you mean? He's back as a weak human!" Lian bellowed.
"The Zenkai. He didn't just take a beating to learn her style, he knew once he transformed back…he'd be healed back and made stronger." Albedo said with a wide grin as the green went through Leo's veins.
Unless the first time, the pain was not as bad as he got up as his green eyes slightly glowed.
"Do you really reverting to your human form will call for my mercy?' Looma said boisterously.
"No, I just have two words for you. Solar Flare." Leo said with a grin.
"What doe-AAHHH, MY EYES!" Looma said as Leo released a bright shining light. "By the moons!"
Leo proceeded to jump flip over Looma before hitting a precise part of her neck before landing on his feet. By the time the crowd regained their sight, Looma was out cold on the ground as Leo was standing there with his arms crossed.
"I believe the game's over. I've won and I have the Red Wind's support." Leo said with a bow.
"You think we should tell him…" Zennith remarked.
"Mother. Don't…it'll be more humorous for when he finds out." Albedo snickered as Gar rose up.
"Congratulations, Leo Mars of Earth. You have proven yourself worthy to be among us and for to aid you in on your mission. You have also proven yourself worthy of being Looma's future husband." Gar announced as the look at Leo's face was wide-eyed.
"Wait, what?!" Spinel said spitting out of her face.
"I believe the Earth swear fitting for the moment is, 'Oh shit.'" Shar said as Scarlet groaned in annoyance.
Leo scrambled to the stands looking at his team for an explanation.
"Leo, you studied Tertamands yet you didn't study their culture or norms. Female Tertas are normally stronger than the men and if a man manages to beat her…he becomes her chosen husband. You do know they get off on pain and combat. Females do tend to fall for the men that can kick their asses and vice versa." Scarlet explained as Leo grabbed Scarlet by her collar. "Hey, you didn't ask…"
"I…you…man, fuck. Now, I'm engaged to an alien prin…cess." Leo stammered. "Wait a damn minute, did all of you know about this?"
He was referring to the other Resistance members who all pretended to be innocent.
"You pimped me out!" Leo exclaimed.
"To be fair, we pimped Shar to you." One Resistance member said only to get elbowed for that.
Albedo floated down to Leo on his platform with an expectant look on his face.
"Fret not, Leo. I believe you can use this to your advantage." Albedo said with a grin. "You could form your own ruling group, a clan if you prefer. With the princess, you'd have a powerful ally in the Red Wind Kingdom. You may be able to form your own kingdom. You can grow in influence and strength…and with that comes funds and the means to advance you and your team."
"Ok, that sounds nice and all…but I'm still in the hook for a marriage." Leo said crossing his arms.
"Start a harem. I noticed it's a trend on your Earth media." Albedo said bluntly.
"In fiction. It's a nice fantasy and all…but I don't know about it." Leo remarked.
"Considering that with the Omnitrix, you'll have to help repopulate lost species anyway. May as well make the most of it." Albedo remarked as Azmuth floated down.
"And what are you talking about?" Azmuth said glaring at Albedo.
"He was trying to help and while I see Albedo has ulterior motives to probably schmooze me into helping him later….he has a point." Leo said with a sigh as Looma was awoken.
Looma marched over clearly with all four of her arms crossed.
"I will admit…you bested me. Now with brute strength, but you out-thought me. You planned ahead and you played me like a war horn. It was embarrassing yet strangely attractive. Something about your tactics really turns me on." Looma said taking a sweeter tone.
"The guys back home is going to be so jealous of me." Leo thought before he was brought into a tight hug by Looma. "No…they're going to envious of me. For a race of warriors, her chest is so firm."
Shar watched this with a pout as Albedo rubbed his hands with a mirthful look.
"Excellent." Albedo said under his breath.
"You're planning something. Aren't you, son?" Azmuth said looking at him with suspicion.
"Yes, but it's only to ensure Leo gets in a good position. For him to be the ultimate hero, he needs certain stimuli. This can lead to him getting training, materials, and so on. Yes, I want to benefit, but so does the Resistance by having the Red Wind as allies." Albedo said as Zennith floated over.
"I will admit Albedo has a point there, but you need not to be snakelike over it." Zennith said as Albedo sighed.
Leo found himself taken over to Looma's parents to which Lian glared at him like he was not worthy. In reality, she was just saving face and trying to intimidate Leo which only served for him to say the words she did not want to hear.
"I want to think you both for waiting for me to battle your father. While I expect the offer to join your family, I'm afraid I'll have to put that to an alliance as I am moving to start my own clan of sorts, possibly a kingdom." Leo said as Lian sputtered in shock.
"What?! Are you sure?" Lian mused.
"Of course, he's sure. If he is worthy of the Omnitrix, he is worthy to lead a clan and a kingdom." Looma said dreamily.
Gar agreed as well citing the same reason much to Lian's horror. Lian was hoping Leo would join the family at the least, not start off his own family.
"So, do we wait for a wedding date or…can we save it for after the war with the Diamonds?" Leo asked. "Because I need to make some decisions…deal with customs and so on."
"And he has to have a harem." Albedo said floating up. "Looma may be overwhelmed by Leo's potential."
"That's only if Looma's ok with it." Gar said as Looma left the decision to Leo. "Well, my boy?"
"Let me ask my te-"
"YES!" Spinel and Shar blurted out.
Shar covered her mouth a bit sheepish over saying it, but Spinel bounced over.
"We can't just leave you go off with the muscly lady. We're the Squad and we need to stick together." Spinel pleaded.
Leo tried to explain that he was not leaving the Squad, but her blubbering did not really stop until he just said yes. And that was the House of Mars…or the Kasei Clan was born. Of course, Leo was finally able to explain to Spinel.
"Oh…I see. Well, can I be your wife too?" Spinel said as Leo fell on the ground.
(A/N: Yes, I've made up my mind. Leo will have a harem as a bit of a plot element to work towards developing over things. I did hint Shar had an interest in Leo. Spinel's naturally clingy with people. And if you watched Ben 10: Omniverse, Looma was a long time coming. So, the Kasei clan rises with new challenges on the way.)
