"You gave them Holy Weapons forged in Heaven?" Elise asked in a confused tone as she and Crusader could be found inside her office in the capital.

"Indeed I did." Crusader answered simply as he took a seat in the chair that could be found in front of her very large oak wood desk. "Their own weapons and skills would barely stub the toes of Wraith. The weapons I gave them even the playing field." Crusader said in a firm tone.

"Have you not thought of the consequences of your actions?" Elise asked in an accusing manner, which Crusader choose to ignore before answering.

"Elaborate on these 'consequences.'" Crusader requested of his ruling elder.

"Those weapons where forged by the Arch-Angels Michael, and Gabriel themselves, and you gave them to a group of teenagers?" Elise asked in an accusing manner.

"The Secret Warriors are more than just teenagers." Crusader said firmly, and that earned a curious look from Elise. "They are a group of warriors that have limitless potential–"

"How are you sure of this?' Elise asked her leading warrior.

"I analyzed their past battles, and I will be the first to admit they weren't always pretty, but they always got the job done." Crusader said in a proud tone. "These young heroes and heroines have the potential to be their worlds next great heroes, like I said, their potential is just starting to blossom." Crusader said once again in a proud tone.

"Alright, I will allow this to go forward... but be warned Crusader, you cannot interfere anymore with your daughters quest, or we risk bringing the wrath of the Dragon Emperor down on us all..."

-Meanwhile-

"You sure you want to do this?" Daisy asked as she and Vixen entered the training/simulation room inside the Secret Warriors HQ.

"If we are going to work together and trust each-other, we must evaluate what we are capable of doing together." Vixen said as they stopped on the boundaries of the active simulations, where Gwen and America where currently doing to obstacle course, Rayshaun and Doreen where analyzing footage of previous battles, Riri was making adjustments to her armor, and Kamala and Dante where sparring with their newly acquired Holy Weapons.

"You warriors look like a finely oiled machine." Vixen complimented the warriors she and Daisy where observing.

"Not always." Daisy admitted. "But we always find a way to get the job done." she finished with a smile, a sentiment which was echoed by Vixen.

"Secret Warriors form up!" Daisy yelled, and all of her friends stopped their activities and ran over to Daisy. "Vixen has proposed we spar in a one on one battle with our newly acquired weapons, in order to get use to them and master them." Daisy suggested to her friends.

"Awesome, couldn't wait to use this." Doreen said in a giddy tone as she took out her bow, and notched a golden arrow.

"Someone is eager." Riri said in a joking tone, and that earned a friendly punch to the shoulder from Doreen.

"I will spar with Vixen, as for the rest of you, grab your sparring partner–"

"If it is alright with you Daisy, I would like to spar with Riri." Vixen said firmly, and that earned a surprised look from Riri and Daisy.

"Can I ask why?" Daisy asked her new ally.

"I've got my reasons." Vixen answered simply, which earned a head-nod from Daisy as she walked over to America, while Vixen and Riri walked over to the corner of the room.

"The naginata, a most noble weapon." Vixen said in a respectful tone to the young warrior.

"As much as love this gift from your father, I must ask this question: why not give us guns or something?" Riri asked in a serious tone, which made Vixen laugh.

"The Continuum race rarely gives away access to it's weapon technology, besides these weapons where built in Heaven, and enchanted by the Arch-Angels themselves." Vixen answered Riri's question.

"You didn't really answer my question, why not give us some advanced technology?" Riri asked again.

"Think of it this way: would the human race be ready for the most advanced weaponry in the universe?" Vixen asked the African-American teenager, who had to admit Vixen had a fair point.

"Fair enough." Riri said after a minute of contemplation.

"Ready your naginata." Vixen suggested as she took a combat stance, without drawing her blade, which did not go unnoticed by her sparring partner.

"You going to draw your blade?" Riri asked.

"Nah." Vixen answered simply, which earned a confused look from Riri.

"Why not?" Riri questioned.

"To put simply, I don't need the Blade of Heaven to win this battle." Vixen said with a confident smile on her face, and that caused a competitive look to form on Riri's face.

"Let's see it that's true then." Riri said with her own confident smile as she closed and sealed her faceplate and hovered a few inches above the ground. Vixen made the first move by back-flipping away to gain some distance. Riri responded by flying towards her sparring partner and taking a slash with her naginata, which Vixen dodged easily with surprising speed.

"You're a lot faster than you look." Riri complimented as she took a few more swipes at Vixen, only to have the teenager dodge her attacks by mere inches. Vixen tried to jump and somersault over Riri, only t have the armored girl grab her leg mid-jump and throw her back to the ground, where she then placed the naginata's blade a mere inches from her throat. "I think that's my point." Riri said as she lowered her blade and offered Vixen a hand, which Vixen took.

"Perhaps I should've used the Blade of Heaven after all." Vixen joked, which earned a smile from Riri under her golden faceplate. "I've got to know Riri, how did you adjust so quickly to my somersault?" Vixen asked as the two took up their starting positions again.

"I have Amy to thank for that." Riri responded with a big grin that Vixen couldn't see.

"'Amy?'" Vixen asked with a curious tone.

"Amy is my armors artificial intelligence, or AI for short." Riri explained.

"I know an AI is, we have plenty on my world." Vixen said with a smile as the duo began sparring again.

-Meanwhile-

"Lets get this party started shall we?" America said with a grin as she rushed at Daisy with her daggers, to which Daisy responded by parrying all of her attacks with her katana.

"You like your daggers?" Daisy asked as she threw America back with a well timed push of her blade on her sparring partners daggers.

"They pack a pretty punch, just like I do." America joked as she threw a dagger at Daisy, only to have her opponent side step the dagger, and then quickly raise her blade to deflect the second thrown dagger.

"Nice shot." Daisy congratulated as she jumped into the air and brought her blade down towards America, only to have her sparring partner roll out of the way and quickly retrieve her daggers, and soon enough, the sounds of steel upon steel could be heard again from the duo.

-Meanwhile-

Gwen who had no sparring partner, had decided to test her Spider-Sense combined with her golden crossbow, and to do so she had activated targets that would pop up at random, but she had the early advantage do to her Spider-Sense. A target was about to pop up, she raised her crossbow and fired the arrow, it struck the bulls-eye not even a nanosecond after the target hd popped up. Suddenly her Spider-Sense told her that three targets where about to pop up in a triangle formation, and she briefly wondered how she would hit all three, but then she remembered Crusaders words: 'The keenness of sight can wield this while always hitting the intended target.' Sow without an hesitation she fired her bolt, only to have two more bolts shoot out of the main bolt and she struck all three targets dead on, and that made Gwen smile underneath her mask.

-Meanwhile-

"Guess it's you and me, eh?" Dante joked as raised his battle axe and took up a combat stance.

"Yea... I guess so." Kamala said with a blush as she raised her bladed kusarigama and took up her own combat stance, as Dante rushed forward and took a swipe at her with his axe, only to have her blade parry his own. "Hold on, I'm going to try something." Dante said as he lit his left hand ablaze and put a fireball into the axe, and to his surprise his fireball merged with his axe. "Sweet, we can merge out powers with the weapons, or at least I can." Dante said in a giddy tone as he swung the flaming blade at his female colleague, only for her to matrix under the blade due to her elastic abilities.

"Let's see if mine can be incorporated with mine." Kamala said as she extended her arm behind Dante and slashed at his legs with the blade, only to end up tripping him instead, and that ended up pulling Kamala down on top of him.

"Um... hi..." Kamala joked, her face deep red from blushing, and that made Dante give a friendly laugh.

"This is awkward." Dante joked, and that earned one from Kamala, as they helped each-other up.

-Meanwhile-

"Let's see what this thing can do." Rayshaun said with a big smile as he rushed at Doreen with his warriors spear, only to have Doreen counter by raising her golden bow and pushing Rayshaun back. She then proceeded to back-flip and notch and arrow and let it fly at Rayshaun, who proceeded to dodge with ease letting the arrow fly across the room... and to be caught by the Secret Warriors leader... Captain Marvel.

"You mind telling me what's going on here?" Captain Marvel asked with a stern tone as she eyed her secret team training with golden weapons, who proceeded to stop training at once and line up side by side. "Also, who the heck is she?" Captain Marvel asked in that still stern tone as she pointed at the yellowed eyed Vixen.

"Mam, we've got to talk..." Daisy said nervously after a moment of contemplation.
