Null Void
Rooters' Headquaters
Within the Rooters' main base of operations, before a fight could take place, a surprise appearance had appeared. This instilled dread into the majority of the group, especially with his new cleaner appearance. He looked revitalized which would be a disaster for the heroes. Their confidence and seriousness was replaced with fear and anxiety.
The caped figure walked forward with his eyes blazing red auras. "…some payback is in order!" immediately a bright red trail of lazers were shooting from his eyes. Their target, Ty Lee… Stacy quickly reacted and stepped in front of the acrobat and held her arm up which activated a transparent hexagonal shield that deflected the beams up to the ceiling.
Ben had his hand over his omnitrix, ready to transform when Malevolence decided to strike. June however, was acting more on emotion and shot a glare at Malevolence while an orange aura formed around her, it soon turned white as she tapped further into the power the Life Force granted her. "Not again!" she seethed. "I'll make sure to put you down for good this time!" Before she can move her legs, the blue Gem quickly ran in front of her. "What are you doing!? We have no time for this!"
Sapphire didn't looked fazed, even though she felt guilty for her part in allowing the Rooters to come this far, nevertheless. She knew that taking Malevolence on here was a very bad idea since the Rooters currently had their solidarity intact. Sapphire takes a hold of Juniper's hand, a rush of cold quickly spread through her arm; her fingers could feel the cold touch of her Sapphire gemstone. "We should all retreat!"
"You're not serious! We just got here!" Cyborg retorted.
Sapphire needed to convince them to leave for the moment; she saw the low success rate of taking the Rooters on in their current state with her future vision, in order to tip the scales she had to make the call for them. "I understand, but the possibility of victory against them right now is very low, retreat is the best option…" Sapphire let go of June's hand and awaited their decision.
June calms down and she let go of the boost in power that she gained before turning to Ty Lee and Stacy. "Well, what do you guys think?"
"I don't really know…" Ty Lee replied with a shrug of her shoulders. Stacy as well shared Ty Lee's state of indecisiveness.
"I say we do as she says." Ben said. "If what she says is right, then it would be best to regroup."
June still wasn't convinced. "No way, the Rooters are right here in front of us we can't just run with our tail in between our legs!"
Sapphire hovered up to Juniper's level. "Still not convinced?" she gently placed her index finger on June's forehead, diamond shaped sparkles were now present around June's forehead after Sapphire recoiled her hand back.
"What was that abou-?" June's vision suddenly changed as she could see Malevolence charging towards her. She quickly jumped back before her eyes were glued to the sight of Cyborg getting blasted by Leander with his nuclear blast, when Robin jumped forward to help him, he was immediately stopped by Slade and tried to attack him with his bow-staff but this was proven to be ineffective against his green crystalline arms. She could see Ty Lee clashing with Cheshire but wasn't as quick as her and was pushed back by Cheshire as there was a rip in her proto tech armor.
When Malevolence approached her, he flew up and generated a black ball of electricity in his hand and after shooting up to the ceiling, it discharged numerous energy beams that fell upon all of the heroes. June was the last one standing and she glared at Malevolence who looked down at her. "That was way too easy!" he bragged as a black orb of electrical energy formed on his right palm.
After she blinked, she could see that Sapphire was standing in front of her and the Rooters looked primed to attack while Malevolence was folding his arms. She had no idea what she just saw, but she figured that attacking them at that time was as risky as Sapphire said but June thought she took it one step forward and showed her the outcome. June's suspicions of her only grew but she couldn't challenge that as they needed to run, as fast as they could. "Okay fine I believe you!"
Robin quickly threw a smokebomb to the ground, covering the entire base in a thick cloud of gray, ashy fog. Through this a green flash could be seen and a huge bison flew through the smoke and flew out of the aleady shattered windows to escape the Rooters' headquarters with the rest of the group, including Ruby and Sapphire on his back.
Dash jumped down to the lobby floor after seeing them escape. "Those cowards! Wait till I-"
"Enough!" Servantis made his voice heard before he continued. "Their escape will not change the result, they can't beat us and Sapphire saw that." He looked to Malevolence, noticing the calm, laid back attitude of the villain. "Malevolence, if you want to take your revenge… feel free to." The villain smirked.
"About time, Crab case. I was getting sick of waiting." He began to hover in the air.
"As if you're going to have all the fun," Azula jumped down to the lobby floor. "If they are going to lose anyway, why not speed up the process?"
Blackfire hovered down to the lobby as well. "I have a few things to settle with them, particularly with my dear sister and Tennyson!"
Servantis smiled. "If you three wish to go after them, go right ahead. The rest of us will prepare from our end." Azula in response burns ignites flames on the back of her exposed feet allowing her to achieve flight. Malevolence and Blackfire hovered above the ground.
"Time to end this," Blackfire said before the three shot out into the great expanse of the Null Void in an attempt to find their targets.
Destroy All Dimensions II: Temporal Destruction
Arc 1: The Coming Storm
Episode 9: The Rooters' Last Stand Part 2: Evil Awakened
Null Void
The heroes were sitting on a large, floating asteroid a fair distance from the Rooter's headquarters. Ben was panting after he flew them all the way there. There was silence and when June and Stacy looked at Sapphire, Ruby protectively stood in front of her. "It's okay, Ruby." Sapphire assured, placing her hand on Ruby's arm.
"It will not be long before the Rooters eventually find us." Rook said.
"You got a point there; they wouldn't let us escape that easily." Cyborg added.
"All the more reason, why we should figure out what's going on" Stacy said. She looked at Sapphire again. "Let's just get one thing out of the way first. Who are you two?"
Sapphire begun to explain herself. "I am Sapphire, and she is Ruby." Ruby folder her arms and turned away from Stacy. "Ruby and I were tricked into working for the Rooters." She revealed. "In order to test the fighting strength of the Plumbers, Servantis sent his new hit squad and the two of us to fight against the Plumbers."
"That would explain the attacks on the Amity Park Plumber base." Rook realized.
"However, I know about everything related to this case, even about what happened that caused the universes to fuse and alter."
Ty Lee immediately asked the obvious question. "But how do you know about that?" Ty Lee's question was answered with a couple of growls that were coming from the asteroid they were standing on. "What was that?!" she asked.
They were approached by five blind four legged beasts with pinkish red fur. "What are they, Null Void guard dogs?" Beast Boy asked.
"They are Vulpimancers." Rook said aiming his Proto-tool at one of them.
Katara though made an observation. "But they don't have eyes, how are they seeing us?"
"They are using those gill-like things to see!" Ben said. One of their gill nostrils opened and it ran towards Stacy. A blue beam impacted the canine alien, sending it backwards.
Robin extended his bow-staff. "It looks like we're going to fight them off here." One of them began running towards them but a red figure tackled it from the side.
Ruby was revealed to be punching the alien with both her fists that were covered by dark maroon gauntlets that were a lot smaller than when she was fused with Sapphire. The whole group, sans Sapphire was staring at the maroon Gem. "What are you looking at me for!? These things aren't going to beat themselves!" another one of the Vulpimancers was sprinting to the small gem, but a green bolt of energy had hit its face.
Before long there was a pack of about twelve Vulpimancers, baring their sharp fangs and long tongues. "Looks like they called the rest of the family," June stated.
Robin looked to Ben, Stacy and Ty Lee. "You three keep Sapphire safe, we'll take care of these alien mutts." He dives towards the Vulpimancers and managed to smack two of them away as they charged to him with his staff, he vaulted away from the rest of them and due to the distraction, they didn't anticipate a separate attack from Cyborg and Starfire as green and blue energy beams shot through the group, frying a couple of them.
June meanwhile taunted four Vulpimancers to come over to her. They charged with full force. When she saw that her plan worked June leaped up into the air and a green coloured elephant was steamrolling to them. Beast Boy rammed into them as if they were bowling pins. Katara meanwhile used a water whip to grab onto one of them and tossed it off the asteroid.
Before long, the Vulpimancers retreated after a few of them whimpered. "Well it looks like we're safe now." Ty Lee said. The universe must have wanted to contradict her previous statement because three balls of fire were speeding towards them like comets.
Katara quickly made five thin streams of water speed through the flames, causing them to fizzle out before they hit the asteroid.
"Looks like you spoke too soon." Cyborg said.
Malevolence landed on the asteroid with his feet, making a hard impact that sent cracks from where he was standing. "You didn't think we'd just let you go, did you?" Malevolence said.
June stepped in front of everyone. "I'll hold him off; you guys find a safe place."
"Are you sure that is wise, Miss Lee?" Rook asked.
"He's not going to stop chasing us and if he already caught up with us, then running isn't an option."
Ben thought that she was crazy and voiced his concerns. "June, this is Malevolence! I don't think I need to remind you that he's the strongest, craziest villain we've ever met!"
"That changes nothing; I'll buy you enough time to escape. Just get out of here!" she exclaimed.
Ben didn't like this, especially since it looked as if June wanted to exact some revenge for what the Rooters did to her grandmother, she needed to get rid of her pent up rage, but was this really the best way? He got his answer when he saw Sapphire standing to his side.
"You shouldn't worry, she will be alright." She assured. "You have my word."
Ben glanced over at June, before nodding. "Okay, but make sure you find us when-"
"You worry too much! I'll be fine, now get out of here." She said while smiling.
Ben nodded and he led the group as they started to jump from asteroid to asteroid in order to escape.
Malevolence smiled. "Finally, I was getting tired of waiting. I have to thank Servantis for restoring my memories, though I am still far from full power."
June smirked. "Hmpf, that's my lucky break. I'll enjoy pounding you all over the Null Void!"
Malevolence shot an explosive stream of fire that exploded around her. The villain smirked but his eyes grew wide when he saw a shadow sprinting through the fire. He saw June in a different appearance. Before he could comprehend what happened, he was punched in the face. The force of her fist sent the Osmosian villain flipping through the air before his body dug an impression into another nearby asteroid. He let out a huge cough as the air was knocked out of him.
He saw June's new appearance as she leaped to the asteroid. She was wearing maroon armor with gold outlines around her chest, legs and had maroon gauntlets that covered her arms but left her fists exposed. She had a black skirt that ended around the middle of her thighs. Underneath the armor, she wore a black body suit that could be seen covering her midriff, thighs, and arms. She wore a red and gold choker necklace around her neck and her hair was tied in a thick braid. "This armor makes it so your fire attacks are much less effective!" she cracked her fists as she stood over the furious Malevolence. "I'm going to make this fast!"
…
While June was fighting off Malevolence the rest of the group were on a large asteroid that had a large crater on the side of it. They were all sitting inside the crater in an attempt to hide so that they could have some more time to figure out their situation.
"I think we're far enough." Rook said, taking a look out of the crater and into deep space.
Beast Boy was confused about the current situation. "Hey, would somebody tell me what's going on here?! Who was that guy that was chasing us? And what's the deal with these two?" he said pointing to the two gems
In response the group turned to Sapphire, hoping she would provide an explanation. "I shall explain everything that I can."
"Hold on!" Ruby said. "We don't even know these guys! Can we really trust them?"
Sapphire took a long pause before she gave an answer to her partner. "Yes, they are the only ones who could defeat the Rooters and possibly save the universe from destruction."
"Saving the universe from destruction?" Robin repeated. "What do you mean by that?"
"I fear that time may be short so I'll answer what I can. The Rooters exist for the sole purpose of destroying any powerful threats to the universe. One of these threats is what they call 'The Coming Storm'".
"So what is the Coming Storm?" Ty Lee asked.
Sapphire's face turned to Ben's direction, allowing everyone to look in the same direction. "I believe we are in the presence of him."
When Ben saw Sapphire looking to him, his mind quickly put the pieces together. "Wait me!?"
"That is correct. Servantis thinks that you are too powerful to be allowed to live, all because of that device on your wrist."
"B-but that's crazy!" Katara noted.
"But that is not where it ends. In order to beat Ben, Servantis had kidnapped aliens and used Kevin Levin, an Osmosian to be able fuse their alien DNA with human DNA, this turned the humans into hybrids of those aliens. This is why Servantis and his Rooters have powers of an alien nature… Think of it as a kind of… fusion if you will."
Ruby clenched her fists. "That's not fusion!" she grumbled under her breath.
Starfire meanwhile had her hands over her mouth. "But that is terrible! Kidnapping aliens just to be part of his sick experiments."
"Yeah, well the first group got intense training, along with that Osmosian." Ruby said.
"You mean Kevin? We know him." Stacy stated. "I think that he's back on Earth though... Wait, you said first group… are you telling us that we're facing a different group here?" Stacy asked.
"Yes, Servantis convinced the first group that Ben was a threat to the entire universe, saying that one day, he can just wish everything out of existence, and he made the 'Ben Hit Squad'" Sapphire took a brief pause to let this information sink in. "However, when they tried to fight off Ben for the first time, they failed."
"Hey, yeah. I remember that fight." Ben said.
"Servantis was furious that his hybrids failed, so he wiped their memories and let them loose around the Null Void."
"So why didn't he try again?"
"Because the threat passed." Rook said. "You had stopped wearing the Omnitrix for a brief period of time."
"So if that's the case, how did this guy know that Ben was wearing it again?" Cyborg asked.
Stacy was thinking about any reason why he would know. "Maybe he may have sensed it when Ben used Alien X to create this fusion universe."
"I felt is as well, and I have even noticed changes happening all around the world when no one else did." Sapphire stated.
"But that doesn't explain why Azula remembers everything that happened before, and is a hybrid no less."Ben said.
"I was getting to that. Malevolence was transported to this universe before you guys ended up here. That was when he was discovered by Servantis. The Azula that is here now was transported to the Null Void before you created the fused universe. She was unaffected by the universe recreating because the Null Void doesn't follow the rules of space and time." Sapphire looked up into the red sky of the Null Void. "Servantis needed a new 'Hit Squad' considering how powerful Ben had become. So he had gathered powerful beings and convinced them to fight for him."
"Uhh… I'm confused…" Ty Lee said with her head tilted to her left.
"I think I get it." Stacy said. "But that changes nothing, we came here to stop them and that's what we're going to do!" she said defiantly.
"Well we have to keep the Rooters quiet and we need to stop Malevolence for good." Ben stated.
"This will not be easy…" Sapphire reminded.
"We all know that, but saving the world never is." A small smile was seen on Sapphire's face.
A shower of blue fire and black energy bolts began raining down towards the crater. Stacy outstretched both her arms, making a large, flat hexagonal barrier cover the diameter of the crater hole. The fire and blackbolts were impacting the shield forming cracks on it. When the assult ended, Stacy lowered her shield and the group saw Blackfire and Azula floating above the crater.
"Are you going to keep running?" Azula asked.
"We know many of the spots in the Null Void, there is no way you will escape us!" Blackfire said.
Ben glared at the two. "Who said anything about running?"
"If we're going to stop the Rooters, then we need to do it at the source!" Robin said.
"I won't wait here forever!" Blackfire flew down towards the crater but Starfire hovered and reeled her fist back to throw a punch to the oncoming Blackfire. The older Tamaranian grabbed Starfire's fist with relative ease. "So, we meet again sister!"
Azula jumped into the crater, she turned to her Pyronite form before she chuckled to herself. She shot a blue stream of fire to the group. Katara quickly made a huge water stream block the blast of fire. "You guys get out of here! I'll keep Azula busy." The tamaranian sisters were clashing in the air. Starfire grabbed her sister's arm and tossed her through a slow drifting asteroid which shattered on impact.
"I shall keep fighting my sister, the rest of you need to leave." Starfire said.
"If we keep the Rooters separate, then we may have a chance." Sapphire said.
Stacy had her Proto-tool in her hands. "I will stay and help."
"Then so will I," Rook said.
"Alright, then the rest of us will charge to the Rooter base." Ben said.
"Good luck, you will need it." Sapphire said.
"You two are not coming?" Ty Lee asked.
"It would be better if Ruby and I stay here, you shouldn't worry about us."
So with that, Ben, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Ty Lee ran from the small crater and towards the direction of the Rooters Base. They get to the edge. "How are we going to get there, this time?" Cyborg asked. They quickly see a female Way Bad that was walking to them.
Ben smirked. "I have an idea."
Azula and Blackfire were in the air and shot a stream of blue fire and black energy. Stacy stepped in front of Starfire, Katara and Rook, outstretched her hands, and made a large barrier. The attack crashed into her barrier, making it shatter. She flew back but Rook caught her. "Thanks Rook."
Starfire's eyes shone green before she started flinging green energy bolts from her hands. Blackfire was avoiding them as she flew down, but when she got close, she saw Rook jumping into the air she took the impact of his Proto-Tool in its staff form. Blackfire slid onto the ground. Azula and Katara meantime were battling each other. The waterbender was blocking Azula's fireballs with a thick water whip. Azula gets mad and transforms to her Pyronite form again. She shoots three shots of blue fire, Katara's water barrier couldn't block it, and she slid back. She saw Azula walking closer to her. Katara quickly thought of something. She moved small drops of water, and flung it into Azula's eyes.
She screamed and she shifted out of her powered form and when she rubbed her eyes, she was blasted by an orange beam from Stacy's Proto-Tool. "Ready?" Stacy asked while transforming her weapon into a Tonfa form.
Katara slowly rose and she gave a serious nod.
At the same time, Ben transformed into Gutrot and looked at the Way Bad. "What will turning into that gut guy do?" Ty Lee asked.
"You'll see. We're going to make a big entrance that the Rooters will never forget!" Ben started to excrete a pink scent from the holes on his body.
"What's your plan?" Beast Boy asked.
"You're going to fly me to the Rooters' base, and the rest of you will be getting there on that thing!" Ben said pointing to the Way Bad who was slowly approaching them
"W-what!?" Ty Lee said with a panicked voice.
…
Beast Boy was a pterodactyl and was flying Ben to the Rooters' HQ and Gutrot was releasing the same pink smoke that prompted female Way Bad to follow him with hearts in her eyes. On the right shoulder was Cyborg and Ty Lee and Robin was on the other one.
"How are you doing that dude?" Beast Boy asked.
"I'm using a pheromone that attracts female Way Bads, so it's going to follow me. This way, the Rooters wont expect us to come in this way!"
Ty Lee was hanging on tightly. "Is this really the best way to do this!?" she screamed.
...
June meanwhile was still busy with Malevolence. He hovered up into the air and started shooting beams from his eyes. June still in her armor was running from the beams as they followed her. Magic symbols appeared on her cheeks and she was covered in an orange aura. She punched the ground and made cracks that made allowed her to lift a huge boulder that was blocking the laser beams. She tossed it to Malevolence who was able to easily punch it to pieces.
"Come on, it this really the best you've got?" he shot a huge stream of fire to June which engulfed her, but thanks to the armor she ran right through the flames. After doing this she leaped into the air and she landed a hard punch onto Malevolence's chest which sent him to an asteroid which exploded upon impact. June summoned bluish white wings that allowed her to levitate in the air and was listening to the sheer silence after she landed a blow on Malevolence. "That actually hurt." June's eyes shrank, the voice that had said this drove a cold shiver down her spine, most because the source of the voice was coming from behind her.
When she turned around a fist surrounded by black electric energy was driven into her stomach, causing June to wince in pain and hold the affected area. This left the rest of her body exposed, allowing Malevolence to clap his fists together and slam the Te-Xuan-Ze on her back, forcing her to plummet to a very large asteroid.
After landing, she looked up to see Malevolence speeding down towards her with murderous intent in his eyes. She quickly rolled away, allowing the villain to punch the surface, creating a shockwave that was powerful enough to send June flying back. She quickly rose to her feet to see Malevolence charging an orb or black electrical energy in his hand. He chuckled before he shot a large beam from that orb. This energy engulfed June and she fell to her knees while the armor around her disappeared into white sparkles, changing her back to her normal clothes. He walks to her and lifts her up by her neck and he can see that she is gasping for air, seeing her in pain only elated Malevolence.
He began to absorb her power and when Malevolence took as much as he needed, he dropped her to the ground. Juniper started coughing after her lungs were re-introduced to the oxygen they needed. "I must say, you have quite the interesting power there, but you choose to hold back. Why is that?"
June got up to her feet. "You of all people wouldn't understand…" after she said this, she got into a fighting stance.
Malevolence surrounded himself in an orange aura, his hair started to turn white. "If I knew you had this power, I would have absorbed it a lot sooner." He sprinted to June and punched her, sending her to the another floating asteroid. He flew up and magic symbols were on his cheeks and arms, he was charging a white energy beam in between his hands. He added his own black electricity to the orb and it was surrounded by a four pointed fire star that was spinning as the orb was fully formed. "Goodbye, Juniper Lee!" he threw the energy orb to the Te-Xuan-Ze, when she weakly got up, she saw the combined attack speeding to her.
Malevolence's attack hit the stray asteroid and it caused an explosion, sending large amounts of debris all over the field Null Void. He smiled appreciating his work. Though he was shocked when he saw a Female Way Bad approaching him with Ben and Beast Boy moving ahead of it, they passed him and saw they were heading to the Rooter's base. He chuckled to himself. "I'll let Servantis take care of that…" When he turned around, a sight shocked him. He saw a figure jumping from asteroid fragments to get closer to him. "Impossible!" he saw June wearing thick white armor coloured that covered her chest area and her legs, beneath the armor was a black leotard with black leggings covering her bottom half. She had a white choker necklace around her neck and had white gauntlets covering her arms. Her hair was tied in a long ponytail. She was covered in a white aura while her hair was white with her pink strip remaining constant. She jumped off one more boulder and drove all her energy into her right fist which looked surrounded by white winds. She drove the punch to Malevolence's face. June could swear she saw slight spits of blood shooting from his mouth. The direction of the punch sent Malevolence down to the endless depth of the Null Void. She transformed back to her normal form and felt woozy for a second before she regained herself. She spotted Ben, Beast Boy, Ty Lee, Robin and Cyborg heading to the base with the Way Bad. June focused and summoned her bluish white wings. She took off after them.
When she caught up with them, she had a few questions. "What's with the large monster?" she asked.
Beast Boy in his pterodactyl form was sweating. "We're going to surprise the Rooters with this!" he looked to June. "Could you carry him, he's too heavy for me!"
"Sure." She replied. She grabbed onto, Ben's arms allowing Beast Boy to let go, he sat on left shoulder with Robin. "Whatever this plan of yours is, it better work."she said grabbing his other arm.
"Trust me, it will. And Malevolence?"
"I punched him into the void, though if we know him. He won't be gone for long. We have to do this quickly."
…
Meanwhile Azula was hovering in the air, shooting flames from her feet to achieve this. "If you don't mind, we have a job to do. So why don't you stop prolonging the inevitable!" she shot three large explosive flames that were shooting to the asteroid. Stacy made a shield that blocked the fire blasts.
"I can't block her blasts forever, my suit is going to have to eventually recharge." Stacy said to Katara next to her. She started blasting orange beams to Azula from her proto-tool, one of them hit her shoulder, and this made her wince in pain. Azula glared at her and formed her Pyronite form. She was speeding to Stacy while covered in flames, he momentum was immediately stopped because Katara made a thick whip of water wrap around Azula's leg, and she reeled her back and slammed her into the ground, shaking their section of the asteroid. After she hit the ground, she got back up but Stacy was prepared and had her Proto-Tool in its bow form. She shot an orange plasma bow towards Azula, the orange beam passed through her left shoulder, and she screamed out. Rook ran to the pair of them to assist them.
"You fools shouldn't have done that!" she covered herself in blue flames and made a cyclone of fire surround her. "This isn't good." Katara said.
At the same time Starfire was in the air battling with her sister. Both their fists were covered in green and lilac energy. Blackfire though was more alert as she managed to avoid a punch from Starfire and she simply flicked her younger sibling on the forehead, this had so much energy that it sent Starfire flying across the void. As she was flying, Blackfire suddenly appeared in front of her and both her fists were covered in lilac circles she drove both her hands down on Starfire, which sent her plummeting to the asteroid. As Starfire fell, Blackfire was blasting a flurry of blackbolts that were exploding on Starfire as she fell. Starfire's eyes opened and avoided hitting the ground and flew close to the surface of the asteroid and the blackbolts that followed her down, were raining after her as she flew to try to outrun them.
After the phase of domination from Blackfire, Starfire took a deep breath before she glared at Blackfire. "Aww, you can't keep up with me, can you sister dear?"
Starfire didn't respond and furiously charged to Blackfire. The older tamaranian shot forward as well. Both of them impacted, creating a huge, explosive shockwave.
Within the crater, Ruby and Sapphire could hear the explosions that were happening outside the crater. "Ah, this is bad!" Ruby said in a slight panic. "What are we going to do!?"
"Ruby…" Sapphire began. A single tear fell down the middle of her face. "I-I am sorry for causing all of this, I allowed myself to get tricked by Servantis."
"It's not your fault." Ruby said running to her. "You weren't the only one he tricked."
"That may be true… but I should have been able to see it coming."
"He messed with your future vision; all of this is because of Servantis." He saw that she was sniffling. "C'mon, it's going to be okay." She split Sapphire's bangs, revealing her single blue eye. Ruby made a funny face in which she stretched her right eye lid and stretched her tongue out of her mouth. This caused Sapphire to giggle at her actions. "There's my Laughy Sapphy." She kissed Sapphire's forehead. "Let's go and kick Servantis's butt! You and me, what do you say?" Sapphire nodded and the two gems hugged each other, their gems started to glow and they both became white before they looked to be merging together.
Azula meanwhile was covered in wild blue flames and this made Katara, Rook and Stacy back away. "So what's our plan?" Katara asked.
"I wish I knew. Rook, don't these things come with fire extinguishers do they?" Stacy asked holding her Proto-Tool up.
"I would be aware if they did." Rook replied.
As Azula powered up she failed to notice a presence behind her. She faced a very hard elbow to the head which forced her down into the ground, all the blue flames around her dispersed.
"Not so fast." The voice came from the assailant that brought down Azula. "She wore a body suit that split into a dark indigo colour and a dark violet colour, with what looked like a half a star printed on her chest that were coloured in three shades of pink. She wore dark violet gloves and her shoulders were covered with dark purple pads. Her skin colour was a bright violet coloul, and she had three eyes. He right eye was ruby red, her left was sapphire blue and the eye in the center looked like a mixture of the two eyes as it was a medium violet colour. "Are you three okay?" she asked in a stoic manner.
"Yes, but who are you?" Katara asked.
"Oh, only Ben has seen me as of yet." She opened her palms revealing her gemstones that were reddish purple. "Do these give you a clue?"
"Wait, I've see those before?" Katara said.
"Hold on? You are Ruby and Sapphire aren't you?" Rook asked.
"Yep." Garnet replied.
Stacy and Katara were both confused. "Wait… how did you?" Stacy said.
"You see, Ruby and Sapphire are both Gems and all Gems can fuse with other Gems. Though the Plumbers don't really know much about us,"
"We can do this later right now we have to-" she was interrupted when Azula engulfed Garnet in huge flames.
"Don't think you can forget about me and get away with it." When Azula stopped, she expected to see Garnet on the floor, covered in burns, but to her surprise she wasn't. In fact she looked like Azula flames hadn't even touched her. The only difference was that her triangular shades were covering her eyes. "What… but how!?"
"I swam in lava before…" …Was her response before a single punch lofted Azula high into the air. Garnet jumped up, much higher than when she punched Azula and when she fell back down, she generated her right gauntlet and drove her fist into her gut, knocking the air out of the firebender. They both crashed into the meteor which caused a miniature explosion. Azula was deep in a small crater with cuts in her proto-tech armor and she was down for the count.
Stacy was nervous as she thought that Garnet may have… "H-hey… did you…?"
"No, she'll be fine. But she won't be a problem to us anymore." She looked to the direction of the Rooters' HQ. "Starfire!" when the Tamaranian was called she avoided a blackbolt and looked to Garnet.
"Who are you?"
"Never mind that, I need you to fly them to the Rooters' base."
"But why?"
"Just trust her!" Stacy said.
"Don't you worry, I'll deal with Blackfire." Garnet said.
"Are you sure?" Starfire asked.
"Just leave it to me, get to the Rooters' base and help Ben and the others, they'll need it!"
"If you say so." Starfire quickly grabbed Rook, Katara before she shot out to the Rooter HQ. Stacy jumped off the asteroid and she pulled out a portable hoverboard and followed Starfire.
"Hey, what was that all about?"
Garnet looked to the Tamaranian. "Your fight is with me now." She calmly replied.
"Oh well, I'll make doubly sure to shatter your gem shards!"
Garnet summoned her left gauntlet. She punched both her gauntlets together, making a tremendous shockwave. "Let's see if you can back that up?"
…
The mutated To'Kustar was getting closer to the base with Robin, Beast Boy, Ty Lee and Cyborg on it June was flying Ben who was still attracting the To'Kustar as Gutrot. Slade from the inside saw this them coming. He quickly activated the bases defenses which aimed laser turrets at the group.
"So we're just going to bust in?" June asked. "That's your plan?"
"Well if we are going to take down the Rooters, we better make a big impact… a Way big impact." Ben quipped. "See what I did there?"
"I can drop you, you know!"
As they got closer, they saw Starfire holding onto Rook and Katara, while Stacy was behind them on her hover board.
"Stacy! What's going on? And where are Ruby and Sapphire?" June asked.
"She… or is it they…? Anyway, they are taking care of Blackfire." Stacy replied.
"I believe that she said that she could handle it." Starfire said. "Though I would hope so, my sister is very powerful."
"We can't worry about that now." Cyborg said. "We're getting closer!" he looked down to see that the large To'Kustar was running to a cliff where the rocky bridge to the Rooters' base was. "And this thing is going is heading for a cliff."
"Then we'll have to jump off!" Robin exclaimed.
"WHAT!?" Ty Lee exclaimed.
"No time, it's getting to the cliff!" Cyborg grabbed Ty Lee and leaped off the Way Bad, her screams could be heard as she fell. Cyborg hit the ground hard as he landed on his feet. He held onto Ty Lee the whole way down. "You alright?"
"Y-yeah… I think. Thanks for that." Ty Lee thanked as Cyborg let her down. Beast Boy in his pterodactyl form flew Robin down to the ground. Starfire landed with Rook and Katara while Stacy hovered next to them and she jumped off her hoverboard. June and Ben flew to the other side and landed on a metal platform of the Rooter's base. They watched as the Way Bad jumped but it wasn't able to make it all the way, causing the mutated To'Kustar to fall into the void.
Ben transformed back to his normal self while June sat and was panting. "You okay June?" She turned to him while panting.
"I'm alright… I'm just a bit tired is all..."
Ben sighed. "You used the Life Force again, didn't you?"
June looked down into the void. "I was fighting Malevolence… I had to…"
"But you know what that does to you!"
June stood up and started angrily poking Ben's chest. "Would you rather have that maniac kill me?!"
"That's not what I'm saying… it's just…"
"I'm not using it recklessly okay, but…" she flashed back to her fight against Blackfire and Malevolence. "Look at what we're up against, I can't fight them normally otherwise I'll get beat and you know this is true, but with this power… I could beat anyone… Ben I beat Vilgax using this power, that alien squid you always talk about. If… when Malevolence comes back I'll make sure to beat him and end him for good."
Ben gave June a curious look. "June… you don't actually mean…"
"What do you think!? The next chance I get, I'll kill him. That way he won't hurt anyone again!"
Sure, Ben also had thoughts of wanting to permanently erase Malevolence off the face of the Multiverse, but… he couldn't really do that. It wasn't how heroes did things; despite this June had zero problems with killing the dimensional tyrant. "June, you know that isn't how we do things. Sure I want to stop him for good, but that doesn't mean we should kill him."
"Are you serious!?" June exclaimed. "How can you defend that guy!? Maybe I don't need to remind you about how much he messed things up! Ah Mah wouldn't be in a hospital bed if it wasn't for him! Not to mention other countless things he did!"
"I get what you're saying… but if you go that far… then wouldn't that make you just as bad as he is?"
June's fury instantly rose, and she threw Ben to the metal wall and glared at him while a flaring orange aura surrounded her. "DON'T. COMPARE ME. TO THAT. MONSTER!" she said glaring at Ben. "If we don't take him out… then all of this will just happen again if we beat him! If Malevolence goes down then all of this is over. I can't believe you won't understand me! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE!"
"There is a better way to end this, and it doesn't involve killing Malevolence."
June's aura died and she released her grip. "Do what you want, but you can't change my mind on this. If I have this power, then I'll use it to take him out for good and no one can stop me…" she started to walk to the others who had crossed the bridge to the entrance of the HQ. "…not even you…" after June said that, Ben felt a chill going down his spine…
After June met with others, Ty Lee and Stacy noticed a change in her usual demeanor. "Hey, June are you okay?"
"Yes…" she replied with a slight growl in her voice. "Let's just get this over with!"
Stacy whispered to Ben as soon as he met up with them. "Did something happen between you two?"
"Y-yeah… you could say that."
June threw a powerful punch that blew the front doors open. "SERVANTIS!" she screamed.
They saw Slade approaching them. "Servantis isn't here right now, but I'd be more than happy to end your pathetic lives." He said.
June glared at him. "I have no time for this!" June quickly tried to dash past Slade. When he looked like he was about to grab her, Ty Lee flipped in the air and kicked him in the chest. Giving June time to sprint to the second floor of the lobby, "You guys chase after June. I'll handle him."
Stacy didn't like her idea. "Ty are you sure?"
"I'm not stupid, Stace." She confidently said. "I won't lose to him again!" Slade was about to land a punch onto the acrobat but his fist was caught by Robin's.
"Then let me help you!" he said after Slade jumped back.
"Just go, we can handle it!" Ty Lee exclaimed.
Ben didn't like this, they were getting split up again, but if it would get them closer to Servantis, them it was necessary. "Fine, but we'll come back for you!"
Ty Lee smiled and winked at him as they left.
Slade chuckled. "You realize that Servantis knows your plan. It is hopeless to try and resist. And your sacrifice to your team mates… will be in vain." He turned his right arm to crystal before shooting crystal shards at the pair. They both avoided the attacks easily. Ty Lee sprinted to Slade and was nothing but a pink blur thanks to the enhancements of her proto-tech armor, she managed to kick Slade in the face, making him stagger backwards.
Slade chuckled. "You know what this means, don't you?" the body underneath his black proto-tech armor became crystals and two long crystals grew from his back. "I don't have to hold back!"
…
Ben, Rook, Katara, Stacy, Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg got to the second floor but came into contact with Swift, Leander, Phil and Terra.
"Oh give me a break!" Stacy exclaimed.
Beast Boy glared at Terra. "Terra…"
Cyborg activated his sonic cannon. "Starfire, Beast Boy and I will handle this. You guys just hurry up and find June. We can't let her be alone in this base." Cyborg said.
Stacy had a very bad feeling about this. "I don't know. I have a bad feeling about this."
Katara knew they had to even the odds so she stepped forwards next to Cyborg. "I'll stay; we need to beat them quickly if we hope to beat the Rooters."
Rook knew they couldn't stand there deliberating so he gave her the go-ahead. "If that is what you think is best, then Ben, Miss Hirano and I will move on." Katara nodded and the three ran down the hall to locate June and hopefully Servantis.
Leander stepped forward and shot a nuclear blast to Cyborg who countered it with his sonic cannon. "We're ending this now!" Cyborg declared as Starfire flew to take on Swift and Katara made a long whip of water flow around her arm as she sprinted to Phil. Beast Boy was slightly hesitant as he looked at Terra, she didn't share that as her arms were surrounded by a yellow aura and materialized rocks from outside and she formed sharp shards that Beast Boy avoided as they crashed into the wall.
Terra had materialized a large rock fist and she used it to punch Beast Boy out of the shattered windows of the Rooter's base. She jumped on a floating piece of rock and flew out of the Rooter base as well so she could fight Beast Boy.
…
The trio of Ben, Rook and Stacy were running through the circular arched hallway that had unlit red lighting. "I don't like this, the Rooters are trying to split us up and then there is June wandering off on her own." Stacy said.
"We just have to find June and finish this together." Ben said. When they came across a split in the path they see an orange beam shaped like an X speeding towards them. Ater avoiding it they see the assailant. In their view from the other hallway were Red X, Chesire and Dash in front of them.
"Great, more of them! Can it possibly get worse!?" Stacy asked rhetorically. The three then saw a bright flash and standing in place of the flash was none other than Malevolence.
"You just had to tempt the universe didn't you?" Ben asked which made Stacy blush from embarrassment. "Alright you psycho, where is June?"
"Oh Ben… I'm hurt… we haven't seen each other since you imprisoned me in that old crows home and this is how you greet me. It's a shame…"
"Answer my question Malevolence!" Ben demanded as he raised his voice.
"I don't know. I haven't seen her since out last bout. In any case, now would be as good as a time to take my vengeance!" Malvolence said. Ben activates his omnitrix and turns into Water Hazard. "We have a score to settle Tennyson!"
Rook and Stacy both fire at him with their proto-tools but Malevolence turns his cape which actually blocked the beams from their blasters. Right after this, Cheshire sprinted to Stacy who quickly activated the sword form of her Proto-tool and blocked her claws from doing any damage to her.
"Hold on Miss Hirano!" Rook exclaimed but he narrowly avoided an X boomerang that was thrown to him.
"You've got to deal with us first!" Red X said.
Dash punched his four fists together. "I'm gonna crush you!" he stood over the Revannagander, his shadow casting over Rook.
Ben blasted a jet of water to Malevolence and he was shot back to the wall. When the blast ended he quickly got up and his body was crackling with dark electricity. "I won't lose to you again, Ben Tennyson!"
…
June was exploring the large empty part of the base, she got opened an automatic door that revealed an outside bridge on the outside, she could see the red sky of the Null Void. "Hm, no sign of Servantis… or Malevolence…" June started walking through the wide bridge, trying to reach the automatic door on the other side.
"Malevolence… that name takes me back…" June looked behind her to see a figure in a red formal wear with blue skin and glasses.
"Wait, you're that girl that helped Malevolence! What are you doing here!?" June asked glaring at Christiana.
"I have my reasons, but mainly I'm following the will of my master."
"So Malevolence told you to come here?"
Christiana almost laughed. "Malevolence…? You are mistaken. I work with a new master now."
June glared at her. "I was going to stop Malevolence anyway, so I might as well take you and your so-called master out of the picture while I'm at it!" June charged to Christiana who was easily avoiding her attacks by floating away from her attacks.
"I must admit, I thought you were better than this, Juniper Lee. Though I am surprised you were able to go toe to toe with my former master." June suddenly covered herself in an orange aura. "Oh already resorting to using the Life Force, you're willing to shave off small parts of your remaining life span just to beat me. How reckless…"
"Shut up!" she sprinted to Christiana but she disappeared from her sight.
"You are just way to predictable."
"I said shut up!" June roared as she swung her foot to Christiana but she raised her arm and stopped it.
"Such a shame, the power of the Life Force does stand a chance against Malevolence… but it is too bad it is in the hands of a fool." Christiana flicked the air, sending June flying to the edge of the bridge, she slammed into the railing. When she slid back to the floor, she slowly got up and started breathing heavily. She surrounded herself in a bright white aura and magic symbols were appearing on her cheeks. "That's it." Christiana outstretched her hand and a blue light shone from it. Suddenly a symbol of a triangle with a closed eye appeared on the top of June's right hand. After it was seen, the power of the Life force quickly left June as all the power she had built had vanished. The symbol quickly vanished.
"W-what did you do to me!?" she roared.
"Your Life Force power has been sealed for now." Christiana started to walk towards the Te-Xuan-Ze. "You're different from the others, you have potential. So I have a proposition for you…"
"Yeah right, as if I'd team up with you!"
"You want to beat Malevolence don't you?"
"What was your first clue?"
"That works for me, Malevolence isn't my master anymore, and having him around will cause some… problems…"
"What's your plan? I know you're up to something!"
"That's on a need to know basis, Juniper." Christiana took out a pair of scissors and cut the air which made a swirling purple portal. "If you want to beat Malevolence, the opportunities await you behind this portal." June walked closer to the portal. "Don't be scared, it won't bite." Christiana said with an insulting smile.
"Where is this going to take me?"
"You'll see once you get to the other side."
"And how do I know you're not tricking me?"
"You don't, that is where our trust forms. We both want Malevolence out of the picture, I don't have the means to beat him by myself, but you do. We just have to train that power and attitude of yours."
"And if I don't do this."
"That's your choice to make Juniper Lee, but you and I both know that Malevolence will find a way to escape even if you imprison him. He's too dangerous to be left alive, if we don't do something we'll all be killed eventually."
Juniper placed her fingers in the portal. "I don't get it; you seem to know a lot. I'm pretty sure you can take down Malevolence yourself."
The blue skinned woman chuckled. "Listen Juniper, there are other villains other than Malevolence you know. The Multiverse will be thrown into a battle for survival. Then everyone will have to make a choice; surrender, pick a side or stand and fight against all the threats. If I'm right, I would think you would choose the third option, wouldn't you?"
Juniper remained silent before she asked her next question. "What are you saying? If I beat Malevolence here, then it will be all over… right?"
"So you think…" Christiana walked to the portal. "It's up to you Juniper; you can continue to fight reactively to situations. Or you can take the smarter approach, and prepare for whatever comes your way. If you want to get stronger and beat Malevolence… then this is the only way." June gazed into the unknown abyss that the portal would be taking her.
"B-but my friends… I can't just leave them?"
"They don't understand the big picture, not like you and I."
"I'm nothing like you…" June said with a hint of hesitance in her voice.
"Whatever the case, if you don't take this opportunity, you may never see it again. Malevolence needs to go down, and beyond this portal are the tools needed for you to defeat him, this may be your one shot. The question is, will you take it?" after gazing at the portal June sighed.
"Okay… I'm ready…"
Christiana smirked. "Hmm, good answer. Follow me." She walked through the portal, June looked back, and she heard fighting behind her. June remembered the last talk she had with Ben and she knew deep down that he was in the right… but what Christina said really spoke to her. "He's too dangerous to be left alive." She agreed with what she had said, and if this was going to be an opportunity for her to get stronger and beat Malevolence, she sure wasn't looking to waste it. "What are you waiting for? Are you coming with me or what?" After she saw Christiana walking through, June took one deep breath and walked through the portal herself.
…
Ty Lee and Robin were still fighting against Slade on the bottom floor of the lobby. Robin was engaged in a hand to hand combat match but wasn't landing any blows that hurt Slade because he covered himself in his crystal armor. Knowing he wasn't getting anywhere, he jumped back into the air and tossed red explosive balls at him which did nothing but blind his vision.
Ty Lee ran through the smoke while leaving a pink trail behind her, her hands and feet were covered in pink electric sparks, she flipped into the air and landed two feet on his chest which sent him staggering back because of the pink electric pulse that bounced off Slade's chest.
When he stepped back, his arm turned to a long crystal sword. "You're both starting to annoy me." He charged to them.
Ty Lee stepped in front of Robin. "I'll get his attention, you think of something to take him down." Ty Lee ran to intercept Slade and he slashed at her several times with his right blade but thanks to Ty Lee's agility, coupled with the fact that the her proto-tech armor was increasing that, Slade was not getting close to landing a hit on her and in between his slashing she was mocking him. "Oops, too slow!" Slade knew he was getting nowhere, so he retracted his sword and he was shooting rapid crystal shards at her, but she was easily avoiding them while running and flipping as well. All the while she was getting closer to him. Slade recreated his diamond sword and when he tried to swipe her with the blade, she slid under it and between Slade's legs, ending up behind him.
When he turned around, Robin got his chance. An explosive disk was tossed and it stuck to Slade's back. The disk exploded, blowing off the crystalline armor on his upper back, revealing his bare back. "My turn!" Ty Lee took off with her hands covered in pink electricity. She placed her palms on his back and sent a powerful shock through his entire body. Once the shocking ceased, he fell to his knees and Ty Lee wobbly landed on her feet.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, it's just this thing take a lot out of me." She said referring to the suit. They looked to the upper floor and saw that Starfire was involved in an aerial brawl with Swift. They both shot beams from their eyes, and when Starfire's green beams collided with Swift's red ones. They created a small explosion that sent the two of them back slightly.
At the same time, Katara was avoiding attacks from Phil in his terroranchula form but he tripped her and she fell to her back. Phil lifted her with one hand. "Oh man, this is way too easy!" Katara saw a pink blur end up on Phil's left shoulder.
"Not as easy as this!" Ty Lee exclaimed. She placed her palms on the back of his neck and released a pink electric pulse, but it didn't look to be affecting him at all.
Phil laughed and dropped Katara to the ground. "Let's see how you like it!" Phil's hand was covered in pink electric sparks, he quickly grabbed Ty Lee's arm, and he released a pink electric shock that redirected the electricity back into Ty Lee, making her scream out. Once Phil was done, she fell off his shoulder and landed on her back unconscious.
"Ty Lee!" Katara worriedly exclaimed.
"Oh don't worry, you're next." But Phil was stopped as Cyborg threw his right fist across his face, sending the hybrid staggering. Robin joined them on the second floor and he stood with Cyborg and Katara as they glared at Phil.
Leander shot a red beam towards Katara, but Cyborg shielded her. The impact from the blast sent Cyborg flying into Katara, leaving the two sliding on the floor. Phil had a smirk on his face, though that was before Swift crashed into the pair of them.
Starfire hovered next to Robin. "I have managed to hold off Swift, but…" she looked at Ty Lee's unconscious figure. "What happened to Ty Lee?"
"That guy redirected her electricity back into her, as it stands we have to beat these three and fast."
"I do not see Beast Boy anywhere." Robin looked out into the distance of the Null Void.
"He's out in the Null Void… with Terra."
…
Beast Boy found himself on an isolated asteroid close to the Rooter's base. Terra landed on it. "Terra, you have to snap out of it." Beast Boy said standing up. "That Servantis guy is messing with your head."
"You don't know anything! I have no choice, I have to do this!" Terra made two boulders float beside her. She flung them to Beast Boy and he turned into a snake in order to slither around them.
"I'm not going to fight you Terra!" Beast Boy declared. "Whatever Servantis told you, he lied to you. You have to believe me! He only wants Ben out of the picture so he can take over the universe."
"I won't believe your lies!" her eyes were covered in a yellow glow and her blonde hair was standing up on end and rocks were rising beside her. She flung her arms forward sending the flurry of rocks to Beast Boy.
…
Deeper into the Rooter's base Rook and Stacy were teaming up against Cheshire and Red X. When Cheshire leaped to the pair, Stacy made a large, green hexagonal screen block her advances. Red X blasted an orange X blast that shattered Stacy's shield, sending her off her feet.
Rook stepped in front of her and shifted his Proto-Tool into its Power Sword form and be started parrying strikes from Cheshire's arm blades. He allowed her to get close and when she did, he quickly activated the tazer that came out of the blaster hole and it shocked Cheshire. After she fell to the ground, Red X tossed five X shurikens to Rook; he changed his Proto-Tool again and made a bright orange reflective barrier that forced the shurikens to bounce off.
This gave enough time for Stacy to charge to Red X and she struck her power sword against Red X's quickly forming X wristblades. As Stacy is trying to hold off Red X. Rook's Proto-Tool was back in its blaster form a circular sight appeared allowing Rook to accurately aim at Red X. He shot a powerful orange beam which hit him in the stomach, forcing him back.
After he was staggered by the attack, Stacy had her Proto-Tool in its staff form and used the blunt force of her weapon to slug Red X up and off the ceiling. When Stacy and Rook saw their downed opponents, the human gave a sigh.
"Well looks it like we stopped these two for now." Rook said.
"You bet." Stacy held up her palm waiting for Rook to hi-five her, after Rook clapped his palm against hers. She looked ahead. "Ben is still fighting Malevolence and that other guy, right?"
"Yes, so that means we must hurry!" Rook placed his Proto-Tool on his shoulder and Stacy just held onto hers.
…
Deeper in the halls, Ben as Water Hazard was punched to the wall, Malevolence was cracking his fists. "Come on Tennyson, don't make it too easy for me."
Ben stood up. "You've had this coming for a long time!" Ben shot a blast of scalding water into Malevolence's face and he gave out a loud scream as the water was burning his face. After the villain covered his eyes and face, Ben proceeded to throw numerous punches to Malevolence's body, not giving him a chance to counter attack.
Though Ben was crashed into by Dash in his tetramand form, Dash stood over Ben as he had a grin on his face. "You didn't think I was going to let him have all the fun!" Ben blasted a shot of Water into Dash's face and when he was temporarily blinded, Ben bashed Dash into the wall. He lifted Dash and threw him to the charging Malevolence.
Malevolence threw Dash off of him, his eyes were covered by a purple glow, and his arms were covered in purple electric sparks. He charged a bright ball of purple energy and he shot a large beam of bright purple energy that had electric sparks around it. Water Hazard blasted a jets of water from both his hands and they combined to form one powerful blast, but when it collided with Malevolence's beam, the purple electricity flowed through and around the water. Since the water was conducting the electricity Ben was struck by purple electricity and he fell to his knees.
Malevolence walked to him and grabbed Ben's shoulder and he absorbed energy from Water Hazard. He grew a red hood that grew over his head. Malevolence's closed the visor of the hood, he outstretched his arm, and a silver porthole appeared on his arm. He shot a powerful jet of water, forcing Water Hazard to crash into a wall at the very end of the hall. "Alright… now we're getting somewhere!" Malevolence said with a smirk.
Ben looked up to see both Malevolence and Dash closing in. He slammed his hand onto the omnitrix core on his chest. A green flash brightened the entire hall and Malevolence smirked as he was waiting for Ben to change forms, but he wasn't pleased when he saw Ben transformed into a bipedal frog-like alien that wore a green and black body suit with green sunglasses, he had three fingers and two toes.
"Are you holding back, Tennyson!?" Malevolence exclaimed.
"Not exactly! I wasn't going to change into one of my heavy hitters 'cause you would just absorb them. Plus…" he shot his tongue from his mouth and it stuck to the ceiling above Malevolence. Ben swung on his tongue and he threw a powerful kick to Malevolence's chest, which sent him flying back across the hall. "Bullfrag is more than enough to bring you down." He confidently said.
Malevolence was on all fours and glared at Ben. "Overconfident whelp!" he shot a blast of fire from his right hand which Bullfrag avoided by leaping on the wall. He leaped to Malevolence and landed a kick on his face, sending the villain sliding on his back.
Dash ran up behind Ben and tried to punch him but Bullfrag was too fast though his left lower arm managed to grab Bullfrag's leg and he tossed him to a nearby wall. When Malevolence saw this, he shot another bright purple energy beam at Ben however, this missed because Ben bounced off the wall.
Malevolence shot another Jet of water to Ben but again he missed allowing Bullfrag to get close but this is what Malevolence wanted as he grabbed Ben's wrist and he tried to absorb his power. "Oh no, ya don't!" Bulfrag exclaimed. He inflated his chest which shot Malevolence away from him. The villain was on his stomach as he got up. "Ha, is that the best ya got. I can keep this up all day!" Bullfrag taunted but before he could continue to gloat the familiar beeping was heard and he was engulfed in a bright green flash before transforming back to his human form. "Are you kidding me, right now!?" Ben exclaimed looking at his recharging Omnitrix.
Malevolence smirked and he aimed his hand which was surrounded by bright purple electrical energy. "Well if I can kill you now, you'll be less of a pain later." An orange beam shot him in the back. He looked back to see both Stacy and Rook glaring at him. "Well, well, well. The surprises never end." He looked to Stacy and saw her legs slightly shaking. He gave a laugh. "Oh well, its not like you're really threatening at all." He shot scalding water to Stacy who jumped forwards to avoid it. She changed her Proto-tool to a staff but Malevolence effortlessly smacked her with the back of his hand, sending her to the wall, instantly knocking her out.
"Miss Hirano!" Rook yelled.
"Just give up, you cannot win this Revannagander." Rook ignoring Malevolence's words sprinted to him with his power sword. Malevolence jumped back and he blasted a ball of electrical energy to Rook, but it was sliced in half by Rook's proto-tool. When he got close, Malevolence shot a fast of jet water that struck Rook in his gut and he dropped his Proto-Tool. Malevolence stood over Rook. "Take a look around, because everything in the Multiverse will soon belong to me." He stepped on him, knocking him out. He looked to see Dash carrying Ben who was struggling as well as the unconscious Stacy. Malevolence lifts Rook and places him on Dash's shoulder. "Take them to Servantis."
"Yeah right, since when were you in charge?" Malevolence grabbed Dash's arm, absorbed his tetramand DNA, and grew a second set of arms below his regular ones. He threw a punch to Dash with his lower right arm making him fall to one knee. "Do it, Servantis' orders."
"What's your game Malevolence, why would you help Servantis!?" Ben exclaimed.
"You'll see Tennyson, you just have to wait and see." Malevolence threw a punch to Ben's forehead that was enough to knock him out. "Dash, take them away."
"What are you going to do?"
Malevolence retracted his second set or arms back into his body. "There are still more of those annoying flies all over. So I'm going to clean house." He started hovering and he flew across the halls in order to assist the other Rooters.
…
Still on the colossal asteroid, Beast Boy was avoiding boulders that were being thrown at him from Terra. "Terra! Listen to me!"
"No, no more talking, if you're helping Ben Tennyson, then I have to destroy you!" She exclaimed. "Ben Tennyson and the new Plumbers will throw the world into chaos!"
"Is that what Servantis told you? If we are really trying to destroy the world Terra, then why am I trying to reason with you?"
Terra's blue eyes slightly grew before she held her head in pain. "Uh, stop trying to get in my head!" she exclaimed. Her eyes started glowing yellow and her hair stood up on end.
"Terra, come back with us!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "Come be a Teen Titan again!" Terra made clumps of boulders come together and she lifted the colossal boulder above Beast Boy. "Uh oh." She dropped the boulder on top of where Beast Boy was standing. The sheer impact caused the entire asteroid to collapse. Beast Boy flew to another one, and so did Terra on a levitating earth platform. "Okay, that's it. If you really want to fight me that bad, then I'll fight you!" After landing on another asteroid, Beast Boy turned into a green gorilla and charged to Terra.
Terra remained on her earth platform and hovered towards Beast Boy with large pillars made with rocks clumped together beside her.
…
Back inside the Rooters main hall, Phil was running towards Cyborg and both of their fists clashed, but Phil was punched by Starfire sending him flying to the wall. As she flew back up into the air, she was hit with a pink beam from Swift.
She was about to take off after the Tamaranian but her tail was yanked on and Katara had a water whip wrapped around it, and she used this to toss Swift to the wall. She then shot her water that quickly froze Swift's body from the neck to her above the tip of her tail.
Katara though was blasted by Leander, after she fell to her knees a ball was tossed to his chest and is exploded upon impact, releasing a huge smoke screen. Once his vision was obscured, Cyborg and Starfire shot energy beams that crashed into Leander, sending him falling to the first floor. Phil was left and he faced Robin, Cyborg, Starfire and Katara. Phil smirked as he shot a web at them, but Katara used the remaining water she had left to slice through the web, allowing both Cyborg and Robin to charge at the Rooter. Robin leaped up and threw a kick, that struck Phil in the face, and Cyborg punched him in the gut.
When Phil fell to his knees this left a huge opening for Starfire and her hands were covered in a green circles. She flew to Phil at max speed and threw her fist into his stomach, shooting a green shockwave from the area of impact. Phil shot back to the wall with an extremely hard impact. He fell to his stomach, unconscious.
After Phil's defeat, they heard ominous slow clapping. They heard the clapping coming from the same hall that June, Ben, Rook and Stacy went through. Walking out of the hall, they saw Malevolence with Water Hazard's hood and portholes on his palms. "Very nice…" he commented. "I must be honest, I thought the Rooters would be a lot tougher than this, but it seems I'm wrong."
"You are the Malevolence that Ben and the others were worried about." Starfire said.
"Right you are, Tamaranian. But I didn't come here for a casual chat, as you all would have figured out." Starfire's eyes started glowing and Cyborg aimed his sonic cannon.
"Alright Malevolence, where are Ben and the others?" Robin asked.
"Oh, they should be with Servantis by now. And it's your lucky day, 'cause you get to join them!" Malevolence's eyes were glowing purple as he shot purple lightning bolts from his hands. When the four scattered, he raised his arms into the air and shot jets of water, making a temporary rain shower in the room. Once they were all wet, he hovered into the air and made a ball made of purple lightning and made it float in the air. It began shooting purple lightning in all directions. The four of them were struck by the lightning. Cyborg collapsed as his systems shut down, Katara passed out and Robin was lying down, too weak to get up. Starfire was weakened but still was on her feet.
"I will not let you harm my friends!" throwing her hands forward she blasted a lime beam of energy to the Osmosian. Malevolence swung his cape in front of him, and it blocked the blast.
"Ooh, that tickled." He mocked. Starfire shot to Malevolence and aimed to punch him, but her fist was easily caught by Malevolence and this stopped her in mid-flight. Malevolence smirked as he started absorbing Starfire's powers. "Oh yes!" he used the immense strength he gained to toss Starfire back into the air. "Yeah there it is the good stuff!" his skin shifted to the same skin tone as Starfire's and his eyes were covered in a green glow. "I'm going to enjoy this!" He generated an electrical sphere of energy that had a green starbolt as its energy core.
As he was charging his energy, Starfire concentrated all her power and shot out the most powerful discharge of energy she could. Malevolence could see the beam closing in on her, and he threw his attack at Starfire. His combined energy orb was cutting through Starfire's beam and it made contact with the Tamaranian, sending her crashing to the ground.
Malevolence laughed. "Oh that was way too easy, but I'm not complaining." He lifted the four unconscious bodies and started walking through the Rooter's base.
…
Much further out in the Null Void, Blackfire was still engaged in combat with Garnet and she hasn't been able to make any headway. The tamaranian was blasting her blackbolts down to the fusion Gem as she hovered in the air. Garnet could be seen deflecting the individual energy beams with her gauntlets by punching and blocking them.
"You're really making me mad!" Blackfire shot beams from her eyes but Garnet was sprinting from her eye beams. When Blackfire saw that this wasn't going to work, she decided to take the direct approach. So she swooped down and flew at Garnet. She didn't move and Blackfire landed a powerful punch that sent Garnet flying off the asteroid. As she hovered in the air, Blackfire was behind her and threw a punch that sent Garnet crashing into another asteroid. Blackfire grinned but when the dust cleared she saw Garnet was standing tall, still with the stoic look on her face. Blackfire flew at Garnet, and consumed with rage she focused all her energy into her right hand and threw a punch to Garnet, the impact made a bright flash that could almost be seen from many parts of the Null Void
Blackfire was in shock as Garnet was revealed to have stopped her punch. "Unbelievable, what kind of Gem are you?"
"Allow me to answer that!" she tossed Blackfire, who slid on her feet after being thrown. "I'm not just a Gem, I am a fusion…" she leaped towards Blackfire and threw a punch that launched Blackfire off of the asteroid. "Not just any fusion... I am the result of two beings love for each other." Blackfire released a powerful discharge of energy which was enough to destroy the asteroid. Through the dust however, Garnet's gauntlets rocketed towards Blackfire, and they exploded on impact. "…I'm many things!" Garnet continued as she jumped from floating boulders as she got closer to Blackfire. Her arms reappeared with her gauntlets equipped. She struck Blackfire and this shot her to an asteroid. "…But most importantly…" Garnet dove towards Blackfire and her right gauntlet grew in size. "I AM A CRYSTAL GEM!" Garnet's fist made contact with Blackfire and the cracks were forming all over the asteroid, but it didn't shatter. She looked at Blackfire's unconscious body and turned her head to the direction of the Rooter's headquarters. A couple of Null Guardians were flying through and Garnet thought of an idea.
…
Ben wakes up to see that he was not on his feet, but rather he was being held and his sight was directed to the machine in front of him that looked like chamber with the that had a mold of a human being inside. He also saw all of his teammates with the exception of Juniper unconscious and on the floor around him. In the room with Malevolence were Servantis, Red X, Cheshire and Dash.
"Looks like you've finally woken up." Malevolence said.
"What's going on?" Ben asked. "Where is June?"
"I've had Malevolence search the base and we have found no sign of your friend anywhere." Servantis said. "But that's not important right now. The device that you're looking at is a Baleric chamber, this will destroy you and the Omnitrix at the same time." Servantis explained.
"I wanted to just remove the Omnitrix from your wrist and toss you into the endless space of the Null Void…" Malevolence said. "But this works for me too."
"This was all my idea, and I'll be glad to be rid of you and so will Maltruant."
"Is someone going to tell me who Maltruant is!?" Ben exclaimed.
The door to the room was busted open. And Ben expected it to be June but he was slightly disappointed when he saw Garnet standing in the door way.
"What, you again! So you reformed?" Servantis said. "You've outlived your usefulness, so you can leave now."
"You're not going to get rid of me that easily Servantis." Garnet walked into the room and Dash was glaring at her. "I figured everything out Servantis, you're really just a pawn in Maltruant's chess game."
"And what do you plan to do about it?" he asked. "You're outnumbered."
"Sure, but not outmatched. You're going to need a better hit squad." She said with a slight smirk.
Dash lost his cool and looked to the gem. "Are you calling me weak?"
"Why don't you prove otherwise?" Garnet said, egging him on.
Dash charged to Garnet, but she tripped him and before Dash could fall to the floor she grabbed him and tossed him into the Baleric chamber, instantly destroying it.
Servantis glared at Garnet. "NO! Do you realize what you have done!?" he said. "Rooters destroy her!" he commanded. Red X and Cheshire sped to Garnet. Red X shot two explosive X's at her and they exploded, Cheshire jumped through the smoke and the sound of Garnet summoning her gauntlets could be heard, she blocked the strike and threw Cheshire through the smoke and she crashed into Red X.
Cheshire jumped off of Red X and tried to slash past Garnet, but when the gauntlets stood in her way, the claws on her right hand instantly shattered into pieces. Garnet knocked her back as she threw a punch to Cheshire's gut. Red X stood up and he looked towards Servantis.
He chuckled. "Forget this…" he dropped a smoke bomb and when it cleared he and Cheshire were gone, leaving Garnet to face Malevolence and Servantis. Malevolence was glaring at Garnet and the Gem was also focused on Malevolence.
"Those cowards!" Servantis looked to the inactive Malevolence. "What are you waiting for, get her!" he commanded.
Malevolence mockingly yawned but he still remained focused on Garnet. "You know what; I don't really feel like it." His pupils turned to where Servantis spoke. "I'm not going to be your puppet Servantis…" He threw Ben to the floor and he lifted Servantis. "…and quite frankly, I'm not going to be Maltruant's puppet either!" he started absorbing Servantis's power and his eyes started glowing red.
Ben sees this happening and got to his feet. He tried to activate his Omnitrix but saw that it was still in recharge mode, so he jumped straight in. "Malevolence!" he sprinted towards and tried to punch him but Malevolence shot a red electric beam from his horns and this shot Ben away.
"You actually thought you could control me?" he said with a wide smirk as threw Servantis to the damaged machine. He turned to Ben and Garnet "Don't you worry, you'll see me again. But rest assured, the Multiverse will belong to me! Once I get powerful enough, no one will be able to stop me!" his horns were covered by red electricity and he shot a red electric beam into the ceiling and flew out of it and out into the Null Void.
The Omntrix was fully recharged and Ben was about to go after him but Garnet grabbed his hand. "We have more important things to take care of." They both look at Servantis. He opened his cranium and shot a red electric beam to Garnet but it was completely ineffective.
"S-stay away!" Garnet walked over to Servantis, she threw a right fist to Servantis's head, and the red jewel on his forehead shattered. Once this happened a huge red shockwave spread from Servantis's forehead.
…
Terra and Beast Boy were still battling each other. Beast Boy was in his tyrannosaurus form and he charged to Terra who was about blocked his attack when she erected a huge wall the Beast Boy burst right through. Terra hovered over Beast Boy while standing on a floating rock platform. Beast Boy transformed into a green gorilla and he smacked the rock that she was floating on. She fell to her back and Beast Boy stood over her and gave out an intimidating roar.
Right when this happened, a red shockwave shot out from the Rooters' HQ and when it spread to Beast Boy and Terra, Terra's eyes grew and tears started flowing down the corners of her eyes. "Beast Boy…?" she said as she looked to have finally recognized him.
"Huh?" Beast Boy turned back to normal and he knelt down to her. "Terra, you remember me?"
"Yes, I couldn't before… I'm sorry." She said with weak breath. "Servantis got into my head."
"Don't worry about it." He said while smiling. "Are you okay though?"
"My head hurts really bad… but it's as if someone flipped the switch on Servantis's mind control."
"Then that means that the others stopped Servantis and the Rooters. Well hopefully." Beast Boy stood up and he helped Terra to his feet. "We should be getting back now." He was surprised when she gave him a tight hug.
"Thank you, Beast Boy. You never gave up on me..."
Beast Boy's green face had a shade of pink on his cheeks as he was patting Terra's back.
…
Back inside the base, Ben and Garnet were looking at Servantis lying on the floor. They saw the only Rooters in the room were Dash and Servantis. "So where do you think those other two went?" Garnet asked.
"Well this is the Null Void, there really isn't anywhere to go." Ben sees that the others are getting up. All accept for Cyborg as Malevolence's electric attack shut his systems down. Ty Lee noticed this.
"Is he going to be okay?" she asked.
"We just need his systems to recharge." Robin said. "He'll be fine."
Cyborg's cybernetic parts suddenly came to life and he sat back up. "Man, can someone tells me what happened back there?" he asked with a confused expression.
"Don't look at me, that spider guy beat me…" Ty Lee looked around and saw Servantis on the floor. "Wait, what happened to them?" she also noticed Garnet. "And who are you!?" she asked pointing her finger to her.
"Let's get outside first." Garnet said. "I'll explain everything then."
…
Ben, Garnet, Katara, Rook, Stacy, Ty Lee, Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were outside the Rooter's base. They had Servantis, Swift, Leander, Phil, Slade and Azula tied together. With Dash being the only one left untied, he was going to be taken with them for questioning. They saw Beast Boy and Terra outside as well with Terra standing by him.
"Oh hey dudes, did we win?" Beast Boy asked as he saw the tied up Rooters. Stacy aimed her blaster at Terra.
"Hey, why didn't you restrain her or something?" Stacy asked.
"Yeah, what's up with that?" Ben asked.
Beast Boy defensively stood in front of Terra who slightly backed away. "Don't worry guys, it's cool. She was under Servantis's mind control. He messed with her head, but she's alright now."
"He is right." Terra said. "I'm sorry for causing all of you so much trouble."
Stacy lowered her Proto-tool. "You're not attacking us, so that's a start." Stacy said with a serious tone. "But letting you off isn't my call to make. Whether we're all even, that's up to Magister Tennyson."
"Wait a second, where is June?" Ty Lee asked.
"We can't find her." Stacy said. We looked all over the Rooters base and we found nothing.
"No, she has to be somewhere around here." Ben said with a slightly stressed tone.
"But we need to figure something else out, how are we going to get back?" Katara asked.
"Can't we just use their Null Void Projector?" Stacy asked. To which Servantis started laughing.
"You fools! We've destroyed the Null Void projector as well as any other communications with Plumber Command." Servantis said while he gloated. "When they get here, you'll be in trouble."
Stacy looked at them. "I wonder if it isn't too late to toss you guys into the endlessness of the Null Void. We'll see how proud you are then."
"Yes, but what about Malevolence?" Ty Lee asked. "He's still out there somewhere."
"I wouldn't worry too much. This is the Null Void." Ben reminded. "If anything, he'll remain trapped here."
"Yeah along with us!" Stacy said. "Plus, when he figures that out, he'll come after us next, and I don't want to be here when he figures that out."
Before they could continue their conversation, a green portal opened up close to them. Max, and Patalliday walk out of the portal and they were holding blasters. Coming out from behind them was an alien woman floating on a platform. She was in an altered Plumber's uniform as the back of her uniform stretched out like a cape. She had green skin and had four short tentacles on her head.
"It can't be… The Magistrata!?" Servantis said with a shocked expression.
"W-wait… you're the Magistrata?" Stacy asked. "I-It's a great honor to meet you…" Stacy said walking to her.
The Magistrata looked over to Stacy. "So you must Stacy Hirano, I've heard good things about you from Magister Tennyson."
"Oh really, thank you so much!" Stacy cheered but she regained her composure. "I mean… I shall keep doing my best ma'am." Stacy stood stiff and gave a salute.
She looked to Garnet and noticed the two gemstones on her palms. "I never expected to see a Gem here and a fusion no less. Before you leave, we would like you to answer our questions about what your involvement in this situation was."
"So what about them?" Ben asked pointing to the Rooters.
She looked at the Rooters who were tied up. "I have let the Rooters continue their operations as part of an experiment. So I won't arrest them…"
"But with all due respect ma'am…" Stacy interrupted. "The Rooters have been doing some pretty horrible stuff, they were-"
"You didn't let me finish…" the Magistrata kept her gaze on the Rooters when she responded to Stacy. "I won't arrest them, because no one should have to know about their indecent or terrible acts." She looked to Servantis. "Proctor Servantis, you and your allies' Plumber Status will be revoked and all of the Plumber technology you have been using will be recalled. That will be all." She turns to the swirling green portal and floats back into it on her platform.
"Well we should probably be going?" Patalliday said.
"Yes, but what about June. She disappeared." Ben said.
"We can always track her plumber badge, no matter where she is in the universe, we'll find her." Max assured.
Beast Boy walked forward. "But, what about Terra?"
"We need to find out the real story of what happened. Until then, we'll keep her detained."
The changeling was against that idea. "Hey, look man! Terra isn't-"
"It's okay Beast Boy." The blonde girl assured. "If they need to do it, then it's fine. Besides, I hurt a lot of people. I shouldn't be forgiven so easily."
Stacy put her hand on Beast Boy's shoulder. "It will just be for a couple of days. Don't worry, I'll make sure she's looked after."
"T-thanks." Beast Boy said.
Max looks to Garnet. "Well I didn't think I'd see you here."
"It has been a while Max." Garnet said adjusting her shades.
Ben and Stacy's jaws dropped. "Wait! Grandpa, you know her!?" Ben asked.
"I've met a lot of aliens, Ben." Max said with a smile. "Now we should all leave."
They all started walking through the portal and before it closed. Stacy stuck her head out to look at the Rooters. "Oh one more thing, I'd watch out for the Way Bads if I were you." She stepped back before the portal closed.
The tied up Rooters heard a loud roar from elsewhere in the Null Void. As their base had disappeared from their sight.
Malevolence was watching from above. "Hmpf, so what's your next move Maltruant?" Malevolence asked himself. He started flying across the Null Void, his eyes shone blue and a blue swirling vortex opened up. He traveled through it before it closed.
He flew through a bright blue vortex and had a wide grin on his face. "They thought they could get rid of me, just they wait… I will become stronger than any of them will imagine!" as he flies through the vortex, he flew so fast that he was able to travel at light-speed and disappeared into a white glint, moving on to his next location.
Unknown Location
A swirling purple portal was seen in a forest somewhere. June walked out of it and found herself alone in the forest. She slightly jumped when the portal closed behind her. She looked up to see what looked like the Moon but it was partially shattered as several floating fragments were broken off but were held by the moon's gravity.
"No going back now. And what happened to the Moon?" She muttered to herself. She continued to walk through the forest and it was very unfamiliar to her. "Hey! WHERE ARE YOU!" she exclaimed.
"Easy." A voice said. Christiana was revealed to be sitting on a thick tree branch.
"Where are we?"
"Telling you would be too easy now wouldn't it?" she jumped down to the floor and landed in front of June. "Before we go on, take this." Christiana handed Juniper a green pill. "It won't kill you, now just take it."
Well it was suspicious. But why bring her here if she was just going to kill her? It didn't seem productive as she could have done it in the Null Void, and if June could guess anything about Christiana, it's that she was anything but unproductive. June swallowed the pill, a brief moment later she felt her clothes becoming tighter, especially around her hip and chest area.
"H-hey what gives!?" June asked. She noticed that her hair was stretching below her feet and onto the floor. "And why is my hair longer?"
"That pill I gave accelerates your current age by 5 years, so that would make you, seventeen I think?"
June gasped as her eyes grew. "I'm sixteen now!? Why!?" she angrily exclaimed. "I swear if you can't reverse this-"
"Settle down." Christiana said with a serious tone. She could see Christiana reaching for her whip. June couldn't beat her in a fight even with the Life Force so she thought it may have been best to do as she says for now. So June backed down. "Looks like you're learning, good girl." Christiana started to walk through the forest.
"So why am I here?"
"Training… You said you wanted to beat Malevolence, so this planet will suffice for your training."
"Wait, we're not on Earth anymore!?" June exclaimed.
Christiana shook her head. "No we're not, and if I were you I'd turn around." When she turned around, she saw a large black bear towering over her. It had bony spikes on it's back and arms. There was a white bone-like mask on its face with red detailing. It was glaring at the Te-Xuan-Ze clearly out for blood.
"What are you waiting for?" she whispered. "Help me!"
Christiana chuckled. "This is just a test of the true threats you will face, Malevolence at his current state could beat this creature in less than 30 seconds, let's see how you do."
June looked slightly scared as the beast towered over her but she regained her composure and glared at the huge beast. "I've beaten things bigger than you." She charged at it with a battle cry and threw a punch that sent the beast sliding through two trees. "30 seconds huh, alright I'll take your challenge." She took one step forward. "Watch out Malevolence…" she took another step. "Because this time… I'LL KILL YOU!" she charged to the black bear with murderous intent.
While June went after creature, Christiana sat down and started to meditate. She took a deep breath.
…
Christiana was in the same black space that she had entered before. A white path appeared in front of her and she looked up to the same eye from before looking down on her.
"So, anything to report?" the eye asked.
Christiana had a confident look on her face as she fell to one knee and bowed. "Everything is going according to plan master. I have foreseen Malevolence's return and have taken the steps to ensure he won't be a problem to you."
"Good…" the eye said. "…And what of the Rooters?"
"Trapped in the Null Void, Maltruant has lost some powerful allies but I still suggest we proceed with caution when we fight against him. Also, I have found the perfect subject to reconstruct the gateway for you to return to our dimension, as you have requested. I think you will not be disappointed to the results."
The eye smirked. "You have done very well Christiana." The eye complimented. "Time to move on to phase two." The eye started to shrink, it hovered in front of Christina, it closed, and yellow bricks were forming around it until they shaped the eye into a body of a yellow triangle. Thin black arms and legs appeared and a black bowtie appeared below its eye and a long top hat appeared at the top point of his shape. A black cane floated to his left hand and he held it tight. It started laughing in a maniacal voice. "You know what comes next, don't you?" the triangle's right hand was covered in blue flames. "Alright Christiana." He extended his arm to her.
"Yes master?" She extended her hand.
"Let's make a deal!" Christiana shook his hand without delay and she was covered in blue flames as her eyes looked to be cycling through future events after their hands connected, the images ended with the image of the same triangle, staring down Maltruant.
Christiana smirked after seeing the future. And after seeing this she would do anything to make it a possibility. Both figures started laughing to themselves.
"What should I do next Master?"
The triangle floated closer to her. "Please, call me… Bill!"
End of Arc 1
A/N: I told you this chapter would be long. And I hope you guys enjoyed the big reveal at the end; this means that I will be including Gravity Falls in this crossover. I binge watched it during December last year and I enjoyed it. So tell me what you thought about the chapter. And if you have any suggestions or any questions let me know.
As of right now I don't have plans to add Lilo and Stitch to the story, and if I do. It will most likely be a cameo role in a particular chapter, I may also do that with other shows that aren't part of the core story.
Here are the questions that I've answered:
Q: If you plan to use the new upcoming season of Samurai Jack in your other story... Will it take place during or after the new season?
A: I would have to watch it first before I make that decision. Who knows, I may decide to add Samurai Jack to this story. (P.S I've seen the trailer and I am so hyped for the new season)
Q: Are the Diamonds going to be somehow be involved in the story as well?
A: All I can say is maybe or maybe not. I would like to, but I would have to think hard on that one.
Thanks for reading this chapter, it means a lot and I'm getting more excited about this story myself and I hope you are too.
Next Time: Arc 2: Time and Space
