1) Jimmie: Thanks for voting, it'll be counted below.

2) Guest: Though, this isn't amongst any of the stories I pitched,I appreciate you sharing your thoughts nonetheless. As a result, with the coming days, depending on how things go,I may replace the Ben 10 and Misfit of the Demon Academy pitch with one of your stories.

3) Im4xsk1ll: Glad A Hero's Last Stand has piqued your interest. If you need me to provide the main characters of the story in order for you to make a definitive decision, I'll do so now.

From the Cartoon aspect:

I) Ben Tennyson. Series: Ben 10 (Classic Continuity)

2) Rex Salazar. Series: Generator Rex.

3) Danny Fenton. Series: Danny Phantom.

From the Anime aspect.

1) Guts. Series: Berserk. (Manga)

2) Naruto Uzumaki. Series: Naruto: Boruto:Next Generations. (Anime).

3) This can be decided by you and the readers. However,keep in mind that certain criterias has to be abided by.

I) It has to a well known female anime character. Preferably,a protagonist from her franchise.

II) She has to be a good guy.

III) She has to be able to hold her own in comparison to everyone on this list.

IV) If she's very young,she has to be around her early 20's.

If suggesting a good female anime protagonist under these criterias is difficult, you can suggest strong side characters under these categories.

Ben,Rex and Danny are around the same age (48).

Guts, though his actual age isn't known,is believed to be around 21-25. In this story, he'll be 25.

Naruto is the same age in this story as he is in Boruto (32).

To understand why I picked each character,I must first explain their roles in the story and their functions in the team.

Ben Tennyson: Protagonist and team leader due to his villains being involved the most in the ongoing multiversal crisis, and his experience dealing with them and threats of all calibers.

Has been crippled physically and emotionally due an incident that occured several months prior, and seeks a road to redemption while preserving the lives of not just those he swore to protect, but those he holds dear as well.

(Ben's personality/struggles is inspired by Tony Stark and Logan (Iron Man and Wolverine).

Rex Salazar: The Heart of the group and a good friend of Ben. Several decades has passed since he cured every living being in his world from their nanites,thus stripping them of the ability to mutate into Evo's. Throughout the years of his teens to adulthood,Rex would protect his world from those who wished to pose even greater threats than that of Evo's, and would also tie up lose ends as well.

Finally defeating what was left of the Pack, and with Van Kleiss believed to be dead, Rex was able to start a family with Circe, and live a normal life.

However, that peace wouldn't last,as Rex's world would be plunged into chaos, and he would be stripped from it, unable to protect the innocent and his family.

Now, forcefully out of retirement, and coupled with a new responsibility,Rex must rise to the occasion alongside new allies and an old friend to protect that which they hold dear.

(Rex's journey/characterization was inspired by Bruce Banner from Endgame. Bruce Banner, not The Hulk.)

Danny Fenton: The Soul of the group. And despite his old age, unlike most of his peers,is just as capable as he was in his prime.

The half human, half ghost hero,Danny Phantom has come a long way from when he got his powers. After saving his world from a planet ending threat alongside the very beings he fights on a daily basis, Danny has become more than just a national hero. He's become a global icon as well.

Despite not facing threats anywhere near as significant as the Doomsday threat, Danny has continued on with his heroics, constantly protecting the innocent from those who would wish them harm.

He has managed to balance his superhero lifestyle and his normal life successfully, as he's even managed to start a family with his highschool sweetheart,Sam.

But alas, fate had other plans in store for Danny. With the return of his greatest foe,Vlad Plasmius, brought with it untold calamity and destruction to his world. But Danny wouldn't stand by and allow everything he'd fought so hard to protect be taken from him. Though successfully migitating the damage that came forth, due to the climax of their battle, Danny was cast forth into a world unlike any he had ever come to know.

With an upcoming threat posing to cause even greater despair not just in this world, and his, but several others, Danny stands tall in the face of adversity, and fights alongside his new comrades for what's right.

(Danny's characterization/standing is inspired by Steve Rogers,A.K.A, Captain America.)

Guts: A lone wolf, and the true Struggler. At the crossroads of his journey that has brought with it, such agonizing lows, but such great highs, Guts is cast on a path through machinations that even exceed the laws of causality.

Separated from his beloved and his allies, and instead, placed in a world where they don't even exist, Guts strives to return to them through any means possible. But due to his unfamiliarity with his new surroundings, he mostly isolates himself from those who would offer him their aid.

However, upon realizing that their intentions are pure, and gaining knowledge of what's at stake, The Black Swordsman takes up his arms to a battlefield on a scale greater than any he has ever stepped foot on. Fighting for something far greater than he ever has.

(Guts personality/character motivation is inspired by Clint Barton,A.K.A Hawkeye from Avengers: Endgame)

Naruto Uzumaki: The Brawns/powerhouse of the group. The Seventh Hokage and Hero of the Hidden Leaf Village, Naruto Uzumaki,is the epitome of selflessness. Countless times has he put his life on the line for not only does dearest to him, but also those whom despite having no relations to him, whether it be out of empathy or obligation,he still strives to protect.

It was only natural that someone would eventually repay that kindness. But for Naruto, that someone was a person Naruto couldn't afford to lose.

With Kurama's sacrifice, Naruto had not just lost a part of his abilities, but a part of himself. Despite still fulfilling his duties as Hokage, Naruto doubted whether he would be able to carry them out with as much efficiency as necessary, especially with Kurama no longer being by his side.

Though what he initially believed to be a cruel hand played by fate, Naruto would also find himself separated from his world, and everything and everyone he had come to know.

However, through further introspection, Naruto would come to view his predicament as a golden opportunity to prevent an even greater calamity from befalling countless innocent lifes. Coming to fight alongside and for strangers that he would eventually see as allies, Naruto would also come to find solace in knowing that they would do the same for him.

(Naruto's struggles/Character motivation is inspired by Thor Odinson,or Thor for short.)

(Depending on which female character is agreed to be the six addition will determine how her backstory plays out).

I'm certain by now, that you've also realized that the number of six is deliberate,as that is the number of the six core Avengers. Hulk,Thor,Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow and Hawkeye.

Though this team won't be called the Avengers. I'm undecided on what their name should be at the moment, and as such am open to suggestions.

On your suggestions for Hero of Konoha: They're very solid, and will most likely be included in some way to the core story, for which you have my utmost thanks.

Before we close off, I'd like to ask you all to do another small voting process to help better flesh out A Hero's Last Stand in case you didn't read my reply to Im4xsk1ll.

Since it's a story that involves Ben 10,000 teaming up with other heroes from anime and cartoons, and I've decided on 5 out of the 6 main characters,I need you to vote for which character you'd like to be the last addition, and if possible, give your reason why.

However, keep in mind that they are certain rules to follow through with as well.

I) It has to a well known female anime character. Preferably,a protagonist from her franchise.

II) She has to be a good guy.

III) She has to be able to hold her own in a fight with everyone on this list.

IV) If she's very young,she has to be around her early 20's.

Thank you guys with the support nonetheless. See you all with the next update. But until then, Please, have yourselves a good one.
