Why Logjam Nexus is in three parts? It's because of the story being long about it... Oops, I failed to elaborate, but please understand...
By the way, spoilers from included and/or represented works abound. Please read this fiction carefully.
Continuing the Cross All, new Ben then flew up and chased Strike, who's approaching the space, now that the sky portal is closed.
"Cross All... plus... ultra!" New Ben is wielding both his Omnitrix and the mysterious sword.
"Kill the man who incapacitated the CN!" The voice came from the sword, though it's weak because of the speed.
"I can barely hear it, but here goes nothing!" New Ben flew out of the atmosphere, and straight into space.
Ben then checked out the Omnitrix, and found out that he can transform into non-alien again, just like against Strike.
"So the heroes are back to me again, except there's more to them!?" New Ben is surprised. "Then let's take it for granted!"
The space is effectively silent, so Ben could only hear what he's saying. But still, he pushed the Omnitrix and transformed into the Cube King, the Origin's past identity.
"This power... unrivaled..." New Ben is amazed. "And with that and this strange sword too..."
"Kill the man who incapacitated the CN." The sword emanated the same voice.
"Strike, you're not getting away with it."
The sword's blade then is engulfed with a rainbow-colored flame, and the circle shoned with the same gradient as the Zero Point.
"Hahaha, at this point, it's over." Strike exclaimed. "Shinryu did its job. Those stubborn foes is dead." *evil laugh*
"Got ya, Strike!" New Ben, as the Cube King, then striked Strike with a mighty slash, bisecting him. Specifically, a diagonal downwards strike from shoulder to opposite hip.
"Argh!!!" Strike is truly hurt. "How!?"
New Ben then sheathes the sword without an actual sheath, then transformed into Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch.
"What!? You're... Ben Tennyson!?" Strike is shocked.
New Ben didn't hear a thing, as they're both in space.
"It's over, Strike." New Ben then telekinetically took the blaster from Strike, much to the latter's horror. "Die."
Putting the options, new Ben aimed at Strike to shoot him.
"I can't move that much anymore, and I don't have telekinesis!" Strike realized what he has been missing now.
New Ben shoots Strike with the blaster, incapacitating him.
"Time to finish this." New Ben transformed into Snow White (Koyuki Himekawa), and unsheathed the sword out.
New Ben finally cuts the statue with red 'X' in pieces. Then it (through its debris and pieces) explodes into bright red flashes (appears as such due to being in space), killing Strike.
"Well done." The sword voiced again.
New Ben then turns into the Cube King, and returned. Moments later...
"Shinryu is dead." Reiji concluded. "We should be safe for now."
"Look. A star is falling." Noctis told everyone.
The alliance looked up at the sky, seeing new Ben as a star falling in the sky. A short while later, it appeared as if a green meteor is falling. Then a bit even later...
"Ben Tennyson!" The alliance noticed the new Ben.
"Yay! He did it!" All other Bens rejoiced.
"You did it!" K.O. celebrated.
New Ben fell and landed with the sword in his hand, and the alliance celebrated.
"Strike is dead." New Ben (detransformed) told everyone, much to their joy.
"You did it, kid!" Yor congratulated Ben. "Another threat is eliminated!"
Meanwhile...
"Mr. Hatake, someone's coming." The same ripperdocs who revived David, having survived the destruction of Night City, told Kakashi Hatake. "One of them was our clients over two weeks ago."
"David?" Kakashi replied back.
Rebecca appeared behind Kakashi.
"Rebecca! Stop!" David is ruining alongside Lucy, Smasher, Silverhand and V.
Rebecca pointed the hyper-charged shotgun towards Kakashi.
"Mr. Hatake, watch out!" A scientist warned Kakashi.
David activated Sandevistan, and caught Rebecca.
"You're too fast, David!" Kakashi is surprised. "You're using Sandevistan?"
"Take Rebecca to the braindance!" David told the ripperdocs and the scientist.
Rebecca is quickly restrained, and stayed into a braindance editor.
"She's trying to kill us under the command of the so-called God-Scientist." Lucy explained Rebecca's recent behaviors. "Relive her memories of her past life, no exception."
"We'll do it." The scientists then worked on it.
"But wait... the God-Scientist!?" A ripperdoc noticed.
"Yeah, apparently." David replied. "Rebecca has been revived by him as a creature to fight against us."
"She could've killed me that easily if I kept taking her shot." Smasher said.
"I'm going back to the moon." Lucy then reached for her spacesuit, which was hanging around in the room of those ripperdocs.
"Good luck, miss." The ripperdocs wished Lucy.
"And here's the drink." A scientist offed David the drink of the latter's name.
"Thanks." David took the drink.
"It's funny when your legend drink contains something you don't like." Silverhand commented David. "In your case, carbonated drinks."
"Let's hope Rebecca come back for real..."
Meanwhile...
"Finally... We kinda got away..." The God-Scientist told Prometheus.
"And it's all due to the those foolish lifeforms." Prometheus replied.
God-Scientist is however, shot from afar. His left shoulder is now bleeding.
"Ouch! Who's chasing us!?" God-Scientist looked behind.
"Not those again!" Prometheus is frustrated.
"Stop there!" Captain Velvet Meteor is chasing with MeteorGun. "MeteorGun, activate Flash Mode!"
Captain Velvet Meteor then shot Prometheus and God-Scientist with one shot, blinding both of them.
"Tailed Beast..." Tenma Jumpson went for the combination of Tailed Beast Ball and... "Kamehameha!"
Prometheus promptly shielded God-Scientist from the blast.
"Don't let them escape!" Loid shouted.
"Run!" Prometheus and God-Scientist ran away, trying to escape.
Gabimaru set both the Slime and Kai Iod aflame with his ninjutsu (which the former performs to ignite the oils in his body, setting him aflame), while Ushio Kofune quickly dashed and acted like the shadow behind Chloe Love.
"The optimal chase... now!" Chrome and pushed Slime afar onto Velvet Meteor.
Velvet Meteor quickly received Slime into MeteorGun, then immediately headshot Prometheus, knock both the latter and God-Scientist away.
"Go go go!" The Slime cheered.
"For the omniverse!" The Princess, Chloe and Ushio then ran towards Prometheus and the God-Scientist.
The threesome then slashed both, damaging the armor and injuring both commanders of Empress Zero. The glitch also now present in Prometheus, temporarily projecting the imagery of Prometheus' original form (which Jumpson once fought), Nekron, Ultron, Sigma, Archon and the latter components.
"Yargh!!!" The God-Scientist is majorly injured. "You...!"
"I-we...-I...! You hurt me... again!" Prometheus is glitching also.
The Hegemonies then pinned the Daikaiser down, and Loid pointed his gun at the God-Scientist.
"What do you expect?" Loid asked the God-Scientist. "You're manipulating people with your... science?"
"I'm the God-Scientist." The God-Scientist introduced himself. "My science is there to serve Empress Zero."
"You're both Rigna's partners?" Ren Fuji asked.
"Yes." Prometheus confirmed. "Now, you're in our current lair."
"What?" The group is confused.
"It's the Library of the Rifts..." Prometheus revealed. "Look around."
The Hegemonies, Velvet Meteor, Jumpson, and the group then looked at what looks like the Library of Ruina by Angela of Lobotomy Corporation. It's aesthetically the same on the outside, except for the colour scheme: a combination of Zero Point gradient colors and the bright green colours of the Edgerunners like David.
"Oh my...!" The group is amazed.
Prometheus then teleported everyone into the Library of the Rifts.
Meanwhile...
"Where?" Rebecca woke up.
"Rebecca!" David is relieved.
"David Martinez, we successfully restored her memories and tamed her, with flying colors!" The ripperdocs reported. "The only problem is her brain is partially busted, so she's technically different."
"D... D... David?" Rebecca responded.
"You finally got it." Valerie commented.
"You did what...?" Rebecca mumbled. "Fucking... David."
"You're back, Rebecca!" David hugged Rebecca. "I missed you! And I also can't back to life!"
"David...?" Rebecca noticed.
"The restoration is done." Silverhand commented. "Next up, upgrading David to better handle the magics."
"Sure thing." A scientist accepted.
"Yes! And I get to be upgraded?" David heard it.
"Yes, we'll tweak you out." A scientist confirmed. "To control the potential cyberpsychosis, as to better keep you from going insane for, we'll adjust your cybernetics accordingly."
And... David is back with the cyber implanting again, like the old times he did in his past life. He's also more synthezious, in that his fleshed tissues is fixed. The results has about the same performances overall, but optimized and with far better magical resistance and affinities.
"We'll fix this cyborg up!" The ripperdocs also repaired Adam Smasher.
Smasher is only repaired, without the same treatment as David, because it's difficult to upgrade the full cyborg to the proper goal.
After that, David mixed a dose of the same drug that he originally took to keep him sane with the drink of his name, then drank that cup.
"So much is happening right now. We gotta check the alliance." Silverhand suggested.
takes the phone as iPhone 14 Pro* "I have a phone that can create a portal." David then proceeded. "Hey Siri, open a portal."
A portal is formed.
"Good luck on your adventures." The ripperdocs wished upon.
"See ya." David then went ahead. "I'll leave Angela and Carmen to you."
David Martinez, Rebecca, Adam Smasher, Johnny Silverhand and V then entered the portal.
At Logjam Nexus...
"Good thing Strike is dead." Omniverse Ben commented.
"Thanks god, I'm free!" Sheath is relieved, now that she's free thanks to the blaster restoring her.
"Now we know how Cross All works." Kyo Kusanagi learned it out. "Thanks, Deadpool."
"Where's Kouha?" Xiaomu asked.
"She's part of the Hegemonies. And she left to chase Prometheus." Silverhand appeared.
"Yeah, that's right." York confirmed. "By the way, you're back!"
"We tamed Rebecca, and now she's on our side." David is holding the original version of Rebecca's shotgun.
"And David got some enhanced magic capability." Vincent continued. "Smasher didn't got the same treatment, because it's complicated to upgrade a full-borg."
"But I was repaired on the time." Smasher got fixed already.
"Hello." Rebecca greeted everyone.
"She doesn't talk as much as before, and she feels dull." Valerie commented. "She has her brain partially busted from her death, that's why."
David gave Vincent the original version of Rebecca's shotgun. "Get it."
"Ok." Vincent took the shotgun. "By the way, what's up, dude?"
"We fought the Shadows and Strike, and then he summoned Shinryu." New Ben explained. "The Persona users defeated the Shadows, and we all managed to overpower ourselves with energies and powers."
"And thus, we did the Cross All, and managed to kill Shinryu while it's charging the Xenoflare, all without is being exploded in the process." New Ben continued. "Then I managed to keep the Cross All up and took a mysterious sword, transformed into the Cube King and Scarlet Witch and that Snow White."
"Too long, don't read." Smasher sarcastically responded.
"So finally, with all that, I managed to kill Strike." New Ben concluded. "Samurai slash, then blaster to stop him, and finally dice him out. It exploded. In space!"
"Good job, kiddo!" Silverhand complimented.
"What's next?" Miko wondered.
A very big portal leading to the Library of the Rifts has been created by Stephen Strange.
"Let's go." Mio then proceeded. The Ouroboros ran into the portal.
"Prometheus must be there." Strange Supreme then entered.
The alliance entered, and even the mecha pilots also went ahead with their mechas as well.
"This looks like the Library that Angela has!" Autumn-Four (in Alpheart) noticed.
"Let's go. Don't waste your time!" Masaki (in Cybuster) proceeded to enter.
The alliance then entered the portal before it closes.
Meanwhile, at the Library of the Rifts...
"What happened?" Rigna approached Prometheus and the God-Scientist.
"I was out-fought by the foolish lifeforms and machines." Prometheus reported. "Not sure how my summons performed."
"I and Prometheus was chased by those we just took." The God-Scientist replied. "Look at the holy crosses and the cages."
Turns out, the Hegemonies has been crucified. Even Kouha, who is no longer possessed by the Cross-Dimensional Observation System No. XX. Two cages is below the crosses: one containing Captain Velvet Meteor, Tenma Jumpson, Son Gohan and Anya Forger all tied up, and the other containing Velvet Meteor's partners also tied up. Anya is specifically crying
"Oh, I see." Rigna understood. "Also, that annoying brat..." *referring to Anya*
"What have you done!?" Velvet Meteor asked furiously.
"Captain Velvet Meteor, you're a kid who doesn't know his limit." Rigna told Velvet Meteor.
"I have to take advantage of the teleportation to surprise attack and trap you and your friends." Prometheus told Velvet Meteor.
"Is that Tenma Jumpson!?" Rigna noticed.
"Yeah, the one who originally killed me back when I was merging the worlds." Prometheus confirmed.
"Get us out!" Gohan shouted. "Anya's crying, and we're angry!"
"You dare to trick us!?" Marie is disappointed. "And I though there's reincarnated hope inside you..."
"You are those annoying Hegemony Gods who messed up with us!" Rigna called out the Hegemonies.
"You won't get away with all forever." Kouha, now speaking in her normal voice. "System No. XX will bust you all."
"That's the same when we confronted the Infinity Ultron." Mercurius commented. "I mean, Prometheus became such."
"I'll take them as a note." Rigna then left. "The legion is done. I'll check on them."
"Yeah! Less talking, more chaos!" God-Scientist concurred.
"Geez..." Mercurius is disappointed.
Mercurius then reactivates the Akasha Terminal given to the alliance.
"She's doesn't even flinch or react to anything Jonesy and his friends did. It was terrifying." Hajun talked about Zero the girl.
"And she's gleeful about the destruction of Zero Point." Reinhard commented. "What a massively lunatic."
"As stories told, the desecration of reality wouldn't go unpunished." Marie concluded.
