Hello once again my every lovely and loyal peeps!

Okay, let me just get this out here:

50,000

50,000 WORDS!

HOLY MOTHER OF ALL FUCKING SHIT!

OVER 50,000 WORDS WRITTEN IN ONE CHAPTER, HOLY MOTHER OF ALL FUCKING SHIT! I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER WRITE SO MANY WORDS IN ONE CHAPTER BUT IT'S HERE!

GODDAMN AM I HAPPY IT'S OVER BUT I CAN'T SAY I'M NOT PROUD OF MYSELF FOR FINISHING THIS CHAPTER BEING DONE.

HELL YEAH!

Okay, got that out of my system, so on with the first order of business.

So yeah, NOW that i have a brand new, spanking lab top, i can finally finish Xero's bio with Wiz and Boomstick, then move onto Gudako, who is actually much more different from her cannon self. Just going to let you know now, now that Xero was in this timeline, she grew into a completely different person then she was in cannon.

For obvious reasons.

Even if we aren't really sure what could qualify as 'cannon' in the Fate-verse, given the abused number of timelines, just know this Gudako will be different and similar to Xero in how she handles problems.

Like how she would handle the stress of the Grand Order and how she turned out by the end of it, as Xero isn't the only one that got sucked into a new reality. Yep, much like Xero, Gudako got sucked into different worlds and universe too, some of which had gifted the duo some of the weapons in their arsenal.

As their father is Tony Stark and having been too alternate realities, they both have a diverse and impressive arsenal indeed.

Figured i'd just go ahead and tell you, as this chapter will be mentioning this and while it won't go into detail, you'll get an idea on what she's had to face in her own adventures. It's going to be a LONG chapter after all, easily one of the LONGEST i have ever written in, well who the hell knows but its certainly a long one.

Also, you're all going to see a bit of difference in my writing style further down the chapter, as i've been overlooking some of my older stories, namely "Watching Rogue" and seen how i wrote back then. I don't know why i changed from writing like that but i supposed it was just me trying to move on after some...difficult changes in my life.

Look, i'd rather not say and leave it at that, so moving on i wanted to just make that clear that i will be trying to write similar to how i wrote in Watching Rogue simply because i like that type of writing style but i will still be retaining my orginal writing style.

You'll know it when you see it, just giving you all a heads up, so you don't get confused and wonder what's going on. This is as far as you can get from cannon FGO without completely removing it, as both Xero and Gudako have gone on adventures, both solo and together in their time at Chaldea.

I know i have said this before but now, we are going to see just how far they've gone off cannon AND how the multiverse theory is true, since many universes are known games, movies or shows, just to show how big the number INFINITE really is.

It's, really, really, REALLY big and has plenty of universes that are so dangerous, just taking a walk could get you killed and plently of video games actually exists as real worlds out in the massive multiverse.

Lots of ways things can go wrong real damn quick and the number of threats is infinite.

Okay, i've rambled on enough, onto the stroy. As always i own nothing.

So please read, review and "What the fuc-BOOM"


Chapter 27: Meet The Grimm Reaper With Wiz And Boomstick Part 4

"Life isn't fair peg legs. My Oni-chan and i found that out the hard way, as we were forced to save a world that would sooner kill us both simply because of what we are, and you know what's REALLY unfair? The fact all is hard work was for naught? All the sacrifice, all the blood, sweat and tears we shed trying to save this shitty world of ours and what we get is nothing but blood and death? To be screwed over by the very people we saved for some stupid reason. But you know what, you want to know what the REAL gut puncher is? It's finding out that everything we worked for would all remain moot, because some stupid, assholes decide to unleash a new hell upon our world. Oh, but if that wasn't enough, even when Oni-chan saves the world, AGAIN, he gets betrayed by the very people he saved. So, here's some advice for you PEG-LEGS-" Gudako's voice shifted not in the same way Xero's does when his Yoki started reacting to his emotions but similar at the same time. Only instead of getting a drop in temperature, it actually started rising, as Gudako's fiery red head started shifting color. Going from her bright, orangey red to an actually FIRE red as her eyes a lite, not with the Maiden's power but her own magic, as she started stalking over to the sliver haired boy, who was frozen in his spot.

It was like looking at Cinder when she got upset but so much worse than his boss.

Sweat, actually sweat from the heat of her flames, made drops down his forehead as Gudako glared a fiery death towards him,"-SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. Cause if i have to endure one more pitiful, whiny rate i will personally see to it that you get a real BURNING end. Is that clear?"

By this point, a fire looked ready to break out as flames swirled around Gudako's body, as her hair ignited the same way Yang's did when she used her semblance, only that much hotter and more ferocious looking then Yang could ever hope to be.

The heat raiding from Gudako body was so hot, everyone, yes everyone including Olga, was beginning to sweat up a storm at the firey rage she had against the sliver haired boy.

Unfair?

Ha!

That useless metal legged boy had no idea what unfair really was and she most certainly didn't want to hear ANY type of whining about unfairness. She and Xero knew full well how unfair life was and getting any kind of advantage was a goddess send to them.

Or life just throwing the pair a bone.

Regardless, Gudako didn't care as they had more than earned everything they have and she wasn't going to stand for some punk with daddy issues, make a sound like they didn't work for what they have.

For fuck's sake, Oni-chan had his back broken in half!

99% of people who had their backs broken like that never walk again and the 1% that did, aren't the same, even then it would take years of physical therapy to even do it, let alone get back into the fighting shape he was in. Aside from the eye candy she got, Gudako was happy that Xero was able to come back stronger than ever from the life changing injury.

But that was only because of a combination of healing magic, Florence, Medea Lily and his Yoma regeneration. Strangely enough Yoma bones were usurpingly flexible and stretchable.

Well at least strange in human standard bones at any rate.

Which was ironic, given how easily breakable they were but Gudako ultimately chocked it up to just another one of her Oni-chan's quirk's so to speak.

Everyone else had decide to stay quiet as this happened, not wanting to get on the redhead's bad side but some like Enji, Rumi and Logan were nodding their heads towards Gudako's actions.

Yeah, you tell them girl.

Though a few people silently agreed with Gudako's assessment, as they knew how unfair life could be, one of them being Laura and Izuku. One was created to be a weapon, a disposable tool and wasn't even expected to survive too twenty. She was saved by pure luck from that kind of life, and she was forever grateful to her father/DNA doner for saving her.

Then there was Izuku, who had at a very, VERY young age learned the horrible truth that not all men were created equal.

He was born without a Quirk and in a world all but ruled by Quirk's, he was all but condemned to a life of pure hell. But then, in some sort of twist of fate or some kind of destiny, he not only met his idol, but he was chosen by All Might to be the next Symbol of Peace and the new bearer of his Quirk, One For All. Like Xero, he had to work hard and prove himself worthy, not only to use the power itself but Izuku knows he would have to continue to prove himself worthy of being All Might's successor.

Not just for the blonde man but for himself, so he could save people with a fearless smile on his face, just like All Might!

You know what, now that she thought about it, Gudako thought about it, all the Avengers got the short end of the stick at some point in their lives, didn't they?!

Hell, some soldiers like Mikasa-chan, Levi and even Armin got completely screwed earlier in life and this sliver haired asshole wants to whine about unfairness?! Maybe she should just go ahead and get rid of this fucker and do the world a big favor by depriving Salem one of her people?

Seeing as no one dared make a move to talk or speak to the fuming redhead, who was in deep thought weighing the pro's and con's about killing Mercury, the Curator took the chance to start the video once more.

"While Ice Force State is a powerful form, Xero often uses its power to cover his arms and legs to attack, giving his attacks an extra 'Umph' so to speak. When fighting, Xero only uses his ice at the very least second, in order to maximize both speed and power behind his attacks, thus creating a powerful force behind his attacks."

The screen changed again, to show the same scene of Xero fighting thugs, only when he clocked his fist back and thrusted forward, the screen went into slow mode, showing the purple ice forming on his fist, just before it struck the thug's face causing his lower jaw to be torn off by the power behind his attack.

"As bad as this might be, you have to admire the precision, timing and control over his magic to perform a feat like that." David Shield, more than happy to break the tension, spoke as he admired the young man's ability in using his ice magic. Father Vincent nodded in agreement.

"It is. It takes YEARS for Magus to gain that kind of control over their magic and use it in such a way. But given what Lord Mazoku's been through, i suppose it was a simple matter of do or die, as the young people say. Either he grows as a Magus and thrive or don't and die."

A bit of a morbid way to look at it but undeniable.

"However, even with the raw strength behind Ice Force State, old Reep's Lighting Force State is by far his most used and powerful Force state of the three."

LIGHTING FORCE STATE

-Lighting Absorption

"If Wind Force State is for long range and Ice is for defense, then Xero's Lighting Force State is a mixture of both. Able to attack at long range with devastating effects and get up close and personal in an instant. He can also manipulate the lighting or to be more accurate, electricity from regular storms, in pretty much anything types of electricity powered equipment to use at his own discretion." Wiz said, as the screen showed Xero pulling power from the various mentioned items, as his co-host cut in.

"Plus, it's useful for charging up his phone whenever he wants too." Boomstick spoke with a grin, "But for some reason, Xero's lighting is black and red, just like how his ice is purple. Hell, his damn fire is WHITE for God's sake, is there any reason for that Wiz?"

"It has been theorized that Xero's magic is effected, not only by his emotion's but how much power he puts into them and the fact his magic IS tainted by his Yoki, it makes the most logic sense. Also, Xero's flames are hot enough to almost instantly melt down not just bones but metal too. You see bone ash usually has a density around 3.10 g/mL and a melting point of 1670 °C (3038 °F). Most bones retain their cellular structure through calcination. Which also means his flames have reached over 2,700 degrees hot in order to burn, let alone basically melt down into slag. Given how fast the bones melt, the temperature of his flames must have reached over 3,000 degrees Celsius."

"Damn, that's hot."

Once again, Izuku's new writing tool all but slide across his EIGHT analyzing books with lighting speeds.

Pun very much intended.

"Okay, i get the hotter his fire gets it changes color but why is his ice and lighting different colors?" Denki asked, as Gudako simply shrugged.

"Don't know. It's just one of those things that's probably best left unanswered and it just is. We just assume it's due to both Oni-chan's power and how much he pours into it."

"If i may ask, is his lighting stronger than normal, Lady Gudako?"

"It is." The redhead nodded towards Nezu, as she titled her head," Why?"

"Then it may be the same principal as his fire being hotter than normal fire, thus changing color."

Ozpin finished for his fellow headmaster, taking a sip of his drink, as the mouse/bear hybrid nodded, "Indeed. I have seen different colored fires before but lighting? I must admit, that is a new one for me."

"My lighting and fire can't do that."

Raven thought to herself, feeling fear and jealousy course through her veins like acid in her blood. All her life she strove to be the strongest and or control anything that could either prove stronger to useful to her in anyway. She may say she believes only the strong survive but the truth was that she was a coward, fearful for her life and believed the only way to survive was to be a bandit. Taking whatever, she wanted, when she wanted and avoiding any chance of Salem or Ozpin coming for her.

After all, as powerful as she is, what could a bandit do that better than normal criminals, the crazy ones and members of the kingdom's higher tier people?

But her pride wouldn't allow her to be a nobody, so she decide to become the feared "Bandit Queen of Mistral" and in doing so, gained Raven many more followers that, in the very unlikely event Salem came for her, she had that many more meat shields to throw at the Grimm.

Sure, Raven would say she was being logical and smart, but the sad truth was that all those words were nothing more than excuses of a woman, running away from her fear of death.

Gaining the Spring Maiden's power wasn't part of her original plan, but it was too good of an opportunity to pass up and when the child refused to obey her, planning to run to Salem to just GIVE the evil woman the relic, Raven HAD to stop her.

Ozpin might be a liar and a snake (Look who's talking bitch) but if there was one thing, he was truthful about, it was that Salem getting any of the relics was a terrible thing for everyone involved. It would be bad if she got knowledge or creation but getting Choice and Destruction would be nothing sort of apocalyptical scenario. It would not only spell doom for all of Remnant itself but more importantly, herself. So, in a moment of pure desperation to stop the foolish girl, Raven attempted to subdue her but hit a vital organ, killing her instantly.

The little bitch wasn't only afraid but very petty too and thus, she became the Spring Maiden.

A freak accident but one that became a boon for her, as she was able to gain even more followers but knew she had to be careful, otherwise both Salem AND Ozpin would be on her ass. So, she careful worded her order to Vernal to act as her pasty for the Maiden powers and allowed Raven to stay under the Rader, along with sending any would be assassins after Vernal and not her.

Selfish but it was in the best interest of the tribe or so she told herself.

But now things had changed.

Things had been spiraling out of control ever since Earth came into the picture, by the very thing she was beginning to fear more than Salem, if that were possible. The more she saw, actually saw the progress the boy had made in life to create these "Force States" of his and what he could do in them could easily roughshod over her own magic power.

Sure, she had control over the weather of Spring, but the truth was that she had very little practice in using it in combat, let alone getting to Mazoku's level of control. She was on a different level than most, but Mazoku was in a league all his own.

But in all fairness to her, she didn't have a chance of practicing, not with both Salem and Ozpin's agents looking for the Maiden.

Not that it mattered, as it was becoming more and more clear to Raven that even if she and the entire tribe attacked Mazoku, she would fail. It was a hard pill to swallow and while her pride roared that no one was stronger than her, her small, logical side said that he was stronger her.

Something that should be impossible.

He was just a brat, her pride said.

He is weak, her pride would say, all this meant nothing and never would in the grand scheme of things. Salem was immortal, it didn't matter how strong Mazoku was, you CAN'T Beat what cannot be killed!

IT. WAS. IMPOSSIBLE!

But the rest of her said yes, this was real, and she was grossly outmatched in every single way possible. He was stronger than her, had better weapons, had stronger magic and far more allies that would willingly come to his aid no matter what, while her own allies would abandon her at the first sight of weakness. The weak die and the strong survive after all, that was the fundamental rule the tribe was established on, and nothing could change that. But if someway he does manage to wipe out the Grimm and defeat Salem (No matter how unlike it might be, a tiny part of her hoped he could), he'd set his sights on her and her tribe.

Either she does something that would prevent him from coming after her or just go into hiding.

Raven was no match for Mazoku and this was proving it, not to mention, all his allies easily outnumbered her tribesman. It didn't matter how strong they were, numbers can decide a battle.

"What do i do? How do i ensure our survival?"

What to do, what to do?

Convince him to see things her way or hide away for survival?

Typical.

"Okay, now i am really feeling like deadweight." Armin sighed, seeing all of Xero's magical powers and abilities made the blonde-haired man feel like he was only dragging him down, rather than helping. Even if the logic part of him told him, that his boss couldn't do everything on his own, in terms of combat, only people like Levi and Mikasa could actually prove helpful, rather than simply getting in the way.

Kinda like how his friends had to help him with bullies in high school.

"But at least i can help some."

It was little comfort, but some was better than none.

"I know were supposed to be learning how to better defend ourselves, but Nora is going to be more, well Nora, once this is over. Oh, who am i kidding, the second Lord Mazoku's comes back, she's going to be begging to be his student."

Ren sighed, fully aware that any fellow lighting user would be in his long-time friend's sight and seeing what he can do, Ren wasn't sure if it would be a good thing or a bad thing.

Sure, Nora would get stronger but...it's Nora.

Nuff said.

"I wonder if i can get Xero to give me a few tips on how to use my own lighting?"

The weather goddess of the Avengers thought to herself, looking down at her hands, silently channeling a little bit of lighting to her hands. While the Curator might have depowered them all, he did allow them a tiny bit of their power to remain, enough to show it was there but not enough to threaten anyone. Even if it was limited to those, he trusted NOT to abuse this small token of trust.

Maybe she could even do something with her wind too if she took a few notes from his 'Wind Force State'.

"Oh, hell yeah, our fights going to be the best one i have ever had."

Rumi knew she was confident, a bit arrogant at times in her well-earned skills and was aware she was very much a battle junkie with enough experience fighting villains to know her limits. The rabbit heroine was fully aware that she would more than likely lose to Xero once they actually fought but that didn't deter her from wanting to fight the teen, if nothing else, seeing all these skills only made her feel like her blood was pumping harder!

She may lose but by all God, the gods or even goddess, she was going to make the boy work for it!

"Anyway, Xero's signature move in this form is the Discharge. It was molded after the defibrillator pack."

"Only instead of bringing people back to life, it kills them, like he was Doctor Death! Giving his enemies a SHOCKING ending with his signature lighting spell."

The scene changed to show Xero, wearing his cloak and one-eyed mask, slamming his hand on a thug's chest, shouting "Discharge", as lighting shot throughout his body, causing it to spasm then go motionless.

"Excuse me but doesn't a defibrillator kill someone anyway if it's used wrong?" Tenya asked, as Wiz cut in.

"Actually, a defibrillator can kill a person if used wrong. But Xero can in fact bring people back to life if needed, as all he needs to do is adjust the voltage setting easily."

"Ah, thank you Wiz."

"Is that an echo?" The lighting user of 1A asked, as small chuckles were heard at his question.

"Oh, right. Well, moving on, Xero can use his lighting for the typical lighting style magic tricks. Which including lightning bolts, charging shit up and shocking the ever-living shit out of people, people like my ex-wife!"

"But that's not all, as Xero can use a skill called 'Lighting-Flash' to move as fast as lighting itself, almost similar to his Phantom Technique only instead of using Yoki, he uses magic to do it. Keep in mind though, the speed of lighting travels at the speed of light (670,000,000 mph) an actual lightning strike travels at a comparatively gentle 270,000 mph."

"Goddamn, now THAT is fast." Boomstick spoke with awe in his voice," Good thing he made sure to build his body up to the point it could withstand the strain that comes with moving faster than light itself, he can end a fight in a flash."

The scene changed again, to show Xero fighting a hooded figure, who moved to strike him, only for a lighting dome to appear around Xero and he vanished! Time seemed to slow down, as the mysterious attack, slowly moved his eyes to the side, just as the dark clouds above them roared with a thunderclap, as Xero appeared above him, seemly moving with the striking lighting in the background, crossing several miles in an instant.

"Holy cats, he's faster than me!" Ruby, rather than be annoyed or even a bit jealous, was in awe at Xero's ability to manipulate lighting to such a degree to pull of such a feat. Her partner, Weiss silently looked at her clenching hands and had a deep frown on her face as her mind whirled with all the possibilities floating through her mind.

"My Glyphs can't make me that fast." No matter how much it galled at her pride, Weiss was forced to admit that her semblance was no match for Mazoku's Lighting Force State power or any of his Force States for that matter.

Man didn't that just burn her pride.

"Interesting." Izuku mused to himself, writing a million miles a minute, "The skill and control he would need to pull off such a move would have to have good precision shots and good timing to not only pull it off but use it without hurting himself. Not only is his speed increased, but his strength is also increased as well, not to mention it would be near impossible for anyone to dodge the mumble, mumble, mumble." Annnndddddd the mumble train was once again in full steam mode, all aboard.

Whoo, whoo!

"Not to mention lighting moves faster than sound itself, so my kid can pretty cover several miles in an instant." Tony smiled proudly at the feats his son was able to accomplish with his magic.

"No kidding, he moves as fast as lighting, now that can easily turn the tide of a fight in an instant." Steve mused to himself, recalling his young friend had used a similar ability back in WW2, right when a HYDRA soldier was about to kill him, he heard what sounded like the sky cracking open and a flash of lighting, as Xero suddenly appeared, stopping the agent before he could finish Steve off.

"Hmmmm, it is a good idea." Sir Night Eye spoke to himself, nodding his head in understanding, "Power and strength is good and all but it means nothing if you can't hit anyone. A fight can be decided on who hits first and hits faster."

Timing was everything and Mirio's fighting ability with his unique Quirk made timing key to using it to its fullest potential. While a Qurik was a part of oneself, it was still a tool, and a tool can be as strong as it's wielder.

"It should be noted that Xero only developed this skill in order to combat his older sister, Freida, magic of gravity control. Seeing as her very magic origin is actually gravity itself, it's no surprise her own gravity magic is superior to his own and far more dangerous to boot." Wiz said, as it showed the woman in question using her unique brand of magic to combat several nameless thugs, as Boomstick spoke.

"Which is actually a pretty smart move. Cause you know, trying to fight gravity is like, well, trying to fight gravity, you're not going to win."

No one could disagree as fighting gravity was all but impossible, as those who had experienced the elder former Mazoku's magic made it impossible for anyone to attack her, let alone touch her in any shape or form.

"It's actually a good idea."

Armin wasn't too versed in gravity magic or magic in general, but he could see what Xero was trying to do, augmenting his body to move as fast as lighting itself. Lighting moved faster than sound itself, which is why it takes about five second for it to be heard, seeing as it moves faster than the sound that came with the natural phenomena.

If Xero could move faster than Freida could keep up with, it wouldn't matter how good her gravity magic was, he'd be upon her before she could even think, let alone cast a spell.

A bit of a gamble but one worth trying.

"And, like his other two forms, Xero has a sort of shield around his body when he's in this state. Thanks to the lighting surrounding his body acts as a sort of magnet, only it sends any type of metal sailing AWAY from his body. Though iron and plastic is not effected by his Cloak of Lighting, but any type of metal be it from a blade, bullet or even a sniper bullet would be sent anywhere but at Xero, making it the ideal defensive shield for Xero." Wiz said, as Boomstick cut in with a grin.

"Yeah, and thanks to the massive voltage charge, no human can touch him without getting fried, like you touched the Joker's hand buzzer."

"Okay, yeah going to say it, i for one am glad the kid is on our side."

"Don't you mean, we're on HIS side?" Clint shrugged at Betty.

"Don't know, don't care. I'm good but not that good, i like living and having all my bones intact, thank you very much."

Mutters of agreement were heard all around, more than thankful that Xero decide to be what he is and not...not something worse.

"But even with all his power, he was still unable to stop the Dead from destroying our world."

Erwin thought, not mockingly or thinking that it showed Xero was weak, it just showed him just how powerful and dangerous their enemy truly was. Last time, they were caught with their pants down and it led to the extinction of humanity.

Well, not this time.

This time, they had the knowledge and were preparing for the invasion of the Rotten World. He just hoped it would be enough, Levi thought the same thing but said nothing. Worrying would accomplish nothing but making his hair gary.

Worring was useless and very time consuming. It was better to focus on the task at hand, rather than worry over something you couldn't control.

"Then there are his main methods attack like Lighting Net, which pretty does exactly as it sounds. It creates a net of lighting, destroying everything caught in its web. Similar to his Lighting Chain, it does exactly as it sounds, creating a chain of lighting for Xero to use at his leisure."

"Even though his Lighting Manipulation is similar to his Ice Manipulation, allowing old Reeps to create all kinds of Lighting based items, like his very first lighting creation: The Lighting Scythe!"

The screen changed once again, to show a cloaked Xero, wearing an old knight's face plate, as he held his hand up in the air, as the darken clouds crackled and boomed. Then a lightning bolt moving like a snake in the air, as it zig-zaged across the sky before striking at Xero's open hand like it was a lightning rod and reshaped itself into a scythe like shape, allowing Xero to grip the handle of it and swing it around, as it were an actual scythe.

"Let's go you fuckers."

"Okay, i don't care what anyone else says, that's downright scary!"

"And i say it was fucking awesome!"

The yellow haired electricity user and mad bomber of class 1A said, originally feeling a bit inadequate to the older teen. Well Denki did, as Bakugo only felt his desire for a fight grow more and more, excitement flooding his veins at the upcoming fight. Sadly, for Denki, the boy felt like he was nothing more than a lighting bug, compared to the thunderstorm that was Xero.

The rest of his classmates nodded, expect for Bakugo who was grinning madly. Oh, he couldn't wait for them to finally fight, it will be an epic battle!

After all, a person can only grow stronger by fighting strong people, right? Then how strong could he grow if he faced someone as powerful as Xero?

"Well i got to hand it to the little listener, if he was a hero course student, he'd definitely be pro-hero martial." Present Mic grinned, as Aizawa said nothing but mentally agreed with his frei-coworker. While he found the dark-haired teen's methods distasteful, unlike Blake, he was willingly to wait to hear the reason, the WHY Xero feels like he needs to go to such lengths to prevent this "Dead War" thing.

Ruby, despite her earlier disagreement with Gudako and Olga, had stars in her eyes at seeing the lighting sycthe.

If Xero was Nora's lighting buddy, then they could be scythe buddies! ~

"But that's not all. One of his main abilities he uses in this form, is to basically charge up his muscles with lighting strengthen his body. Making him stronger and faster in the process."

"Hey, big boss is like me! We can be lighting bubbies! Oh, oh, maybe the lighting duo of destruction!" Nora cheered, seeing the resemblance between Xero's power and her own semblance. Ren, Jaune and Pyrrha shivered at the thought of Xero actually allowing their teammate to team up with him and the sheer amount of destruction the duo could cause.

"And just to add insult to a very painful injury, Xero can use some of his ice magic to add an extra kick to his attack. By channeling lighting into an ice-covered fist, he can contain the energy into his fist and whenever he throws a punch, the attack is doubled from its original attack power by a whole hell of a lot." Boomstick spoke in a very cheeky tone, as Wiz added.

"Not only that but by charging up his own body, everything is sped up, including his regeneration. Thanks to his unique heritage on his mother's side of the family but we'll get to that later, as all his wounds that would heal in minutes, would heal in seconds. But Xero's ultimate move in this form is his Lighting Storm move. Not only is this move powerful enough to wipe out entire armies in just a one stroke, as it was proven during the first battle of the Dead War."

Oh, that's right!

The people who were originally here during the beginning of the viewing, remember how Avenger Xero unleashed his own Lighting Storm upon the undead and wiped-out thousands in an instant.

"Live Bait, how much destruction can my son cause with a fully powered Lighting Storm?"

Olga growled but answered Tony, nevertheless, "My master once told me that his Avenger self was able to generate enough magical power to completely wipe out Z Nation. It was basically the heart of enemy territory, located in the UK, the city of London."

"Ah, i get it. It was in Greenwich in Connecticut, where's the first victim became infected right?" Erwin asked, as Olga nodded.

"Indeed. That is where master, Lady Adenela and Dr. Strange need to strengthen the barrier around our world to ensure the Rotten World's essence doesn't seep into ours."

"Dr. Strange?"

Judging by how he was described and how he was including in their plan to 'strengthen the barrier' Cinder concluded that he must have been some sort of Magus and therefore, an ally of Mazoku. Someone she would have to keep an eye out for.

"What kind of name is Dr. Strange?"

"No idea but it sounds dumb."

Her minions spoke quietly to themselves, wisely keeping their voices down, not wanting to be the target of their enemy's ire. Maybe sick Adam on Mazoku's allies or something.

"Plus, this form has proven strong enough to easily damage his father's mark 4 armor with little effort, when he offered to 'teach' him, how to fight properly in hand-to-hand combat with his suit." Boomstick added with a big grin, as the screen changed to show Xero, in his sleeping clothes an open orange button up T-shirt with boats on it and boxers, as he threw his father's armored form around like a ragdoll with little effort.

Unbelievable.

Those who wanted their own Iron Man armor when Tony first showed it to the world, all went wide eyed at the sight of the man's son easily besting a weaponize suit that can easily change the state of warfare forever.

It was simply unbelievable sight to see and even if they had this 'proof', it was still an unbelivable sight to behold.

Strongest Magus of his generation indeed! If there were any doubts before, there were none now.

"Amazing!" Milessa however, clapped with sparkling eyes, "I have never seen any armor so sophisticated Mr. Stark, what's made out of? Stainless steels, manganese steels, Hadfield steels, gold-titanium alloy?"

Well, almost everyone.

"That and it's coated with riveted aluminum bomb casing." Tony said proudly, glad to see someone understood how hard his armor was to make and knew when to admire a work of art.

"Unreal." The father/creator of Penny said, eyes wide at the unique piece of armor, never once having such a piece created before. Nothing, not even Atlas top scientist have ever come close to creating something so marvelous, not even Arthur Watts. It was a shame he wasn't here today.

If only he knew.

"This is a disaster!"

Jacques didn't show it, but he was sweating bad. It was bad enough he had to deal with a brand-new world, full of "Superheroes" of all things with some sort of evil world wanting to take over the world they ended up merged with, one of the biggest threats to their world was impossibly powerful.

The first two Force States made Jacques start to reconsider his options, but it was Xero's Lighting Force State that had him sweating. More than ever, he began to believe Mazoku was a threat, not just the SDC but Remnant as a whole. Half their military ran on electricality and none of their soldiers of those barbaric huntsman held a candle to the teen's power or skills.

Most huntsman only had one ability, but the son of Stark had more abilities than any huntsman could ever dream of. Using just his ice and speed alone, he was able to destroy the best huntsman team in Atlas. While James might be a fool, he knew how to pick strong soldiers and huntsman alike, so to see one of their BEST teams get taken down so easily was...worrying to say the least.

But after seeing what he did during this so called "Dead War", how he was able to destroy so many in an instant made Jacques believe Mazoku needed to be dealt with. His power was too dangerous to be left alone and if left alone, would spell the end of everything he worked for!

"This will be tricky, i know Feilds is an expert in making people of special interest 'vanish' from the public eye, but this goes beyond just Atlas and the kingdoms. It goes beyond even Remnant itself and these fools won't see it the way i do. No, this has to be dealt with, with a great amount of care. But it has to be done and if we can gain control of the boy's power, then all the better for Atlas."

Yes, it was better that this loose cannon be locked down and controlled, rather than allowed to run wild and free to destroy everything they held dear. It had to be done, for the greater good but Jacques knew James and those fools on the council would never let it fly.

Well, at least James wouldn't.

Thanks to that damned Curator and this situation they found themselves in, Chivalric Arms, the main weapon's marker of Atlas was put in a bad light because of the book "NULL" taking things out of context. So, what if the Arc family suffered beyond imaging?

Did they not realize that in order to achieve greatness and push the boundaries of their society, sacrifices had to be made?

One family vs. thousands, no millions, it would be a no brainer who should be sacrificed. Don't sacrifice a thousand lives just for one, right? Humanity was beginning pushed to the brink of extinction, not just by the Grimm but those damned animals called Faunus too.

Something had to be done and if that Arc boy did indeed have the Null semblance, then his noble sacrifice would be worth the prosperity it brought Atlas (And the SDC) would be well worth it. Jacques knew he would have to tell Matthew, the CEO of CA all the details he as soon as he could, so they would find a way to pull off this operation to capture the Mazoku boy without anyone realizing it was them.

Maybe hiring some mercenaries or even criminals to capture him will do the job well enough and even if they did realize it was Atlas, what could those fools do? No one would dare go against Atlas, not when their in using the Mazoku boy as a method to benifiet all of mankind.

"Like it or not, sacrifices have to be made, just like with Willow's brother. This is for the good of Atlas and the world as a whole, they'll see."

What a fucking delusional, asshole.

"That bastard human is faster than me!"

Adam Taurus didn't need more reason to hate the sliver streaked human but if he did, he most certainly hated him more than ever. If there was one thing Adam valued more than his work and hate for humans, it was his speed.

The latchkey to his victories in the past.

Unlike most of these huntsman and huntress, Adam didn't have the chance to study and train at one of their precious schools. He had to train on his own, to develop his own fighting style and even unlocked his semblance, Moon Slice. His sword style, the Iaido quick draw style, was the deciding factor in many of his fights and his semblance as well, ending most in one quick thrust.

He was strong sure, but it was his speed that made him a force to be reckoned with and had earned the White Fang so many victories. After all, it didn't matter how strong a person was, if their opponent was faster and now, he found someone who wasn't just faster but had speed he could never hope to reach.

And that infuriated him to no end!

This would not stand, forget what Khan said, the second he gets the chance, he would cut that fucking human down and the rest of his allies as well! No one was faster than him, nobody!

Least of all, some fucking, half breed freak of a human!

"Hmmmm, my, my little why my little brother-in-law was able to defeat Ursula in combat."

Even if it was in the back of her mind, Ember wondered just how her dear little sister, who by the way was no slouch in combat, lost to not just a human but a Magus of all things. The fight was either a testament to Xero's strength or it showed how Ursula becoming weak with her time in the human world.

The redhead elder sister was happy to see it was the former, rather than the latter, her dear little brother law is indeed that strong enough to defeat a dragon as strong as her sister.

"Strong, smart, beautiful, empathic and kind, my sister really did hit the jackpot with this one."

"Oh yeah, me and big boss are lighting buddies for sure!"

Nora grinned and wiggled in her seat, imaging all the destruction she and Big Boss could do together with a team up. With his magic and her semblance, they'd be unstoppable!

Elsewhere in the theater room, Ren shivered.

"While Lighting Force State is his most used, useful and well-versed powered up states, Xero has one more state that is his least used but by far, his deadliest Force State. This form wasn't discovered by Xero but his future self and one that was created for the soul purpose of killing his undead enemies." Wiz began, as the screen changed once again, to show Avenger Xero surrounded by undead bodies, blood circling around his body as his eyes glowed red and red, tear like ducts appearing to go down his cheeks, as his teeth sharpen like he was using his Yoki. The blood circling around Xero body moved in a snake like formation, as they form wings behind his back, and he threw his hand back as the blood rose around him, striking everything in sight with blades of blood.

"RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!"

"...What is that?" One of the visiting political leaders asked in a very fearful tone, as some like Ruby and Ochako hid behind their friends, while some like Mineta and Deery (Adam's subordinate) fainted from the feeling of bloodlust in the air.

Everyone, ones like All Might, Tony, Logan, Gran Torino, Endeavor and Ross felt fear grip their hearts as various, gruesome versions of their own deaths flooded their minds without warning making them flinch at the images flooding their minds.

Armin gripped his shoulder, feeling a shuddered of fear run through him but otherwise, felt no need to run away. Logically, he knew bos-XERO, would never do anything to harm him or their friends. If there was one thing anyone knew about Xero Mazoku, it was that he valued his friends and family above all else. If he had to choose to save one of them vs thousands of others, he'd chose them without hesitation.

It sounded a bit selfish and self-centered, but Xero made it clear that he was no hero.

Sure, he saved people from criminals and such but that was partially because it advanced/alined with his own goals and the idea of hurting people just because you could, never sat well with him. Not when he knew he had the power to do something about it.

Selfish sure but hey, despite all that he could do, Xero was only human after all.

"Blood Force State, the ultimate Force State Xero has achieved during the Dead War to quite literally slaughter everything in sight. We can't even properly explain this State, as Xero and his Avenger self-have only used it a handful times. Well mostly Avenger Xero, as the present Xero has used it only three times."

"This Force State has also been called 'Instant Death Murder'."

Chuckles and laughs were heard at Boomstick's joke, but that didn't change the feeling of unease seeping into everyone. Anyone who has ever read a fantasy book knew that Blood Magic was portrayed as both powerful and evil. So, it must be some seriously dangerous form.

"This Force State has only been used seven times and five of them were used by Avenger Xero, as the present Xero has only used it once to see if he could actually enter this state and the second, was during the invasion of New York, right before he Awakened. The most we have learned about this state, is that Xero basically turns the dead's power, their BLOOD, into his OWN power."

"Like Boomstick said, the Blood is the main power of the Cult of Umber's and what they use to power their undying troops. It was honestly by complete accident that Avenger Xero discovered this state and not only is it very dangerous to use, as he loses all sense of who is friend and foe, attacking without distinction but without a constant source of blood, he has about five minutes before he passes out or quite possible, die. But while in this state, Xero can siphon the blood out of his opponents or just anything in general with little to no problem, using the blood in various ways that would ultimately lead to death."

"In other words, no living thing can hope to fight and win while old Reeps is in this state. Even with a five-minute window if he doesn't have another's blood to power it, his speed, strength and reaction time are amplified a hundred-fold, so it doesn't matter what you send after him. Just know it's going to die a very brutal, very bloody death."

"But it is meant for his enemies during the Dead War, nothing more." Wiz said, "It does help that he can make blood based weapons, so yeah, this is a Force State you don't want to come after you."

"Welp, that explains the sudden surge of bloodlust we felt in New York, boss was pulling out the big guns." Eren committed, as the rest of his friends/squad mates nodded, shivering at the memory at the sudden feeling of dread and death that filled the air during the Battle of New York. It was nearing towards the end of the battle, when everyone felt what could only be described as a massive spike in bloodlust, as they heard inhuman roaring.

Nobody knew what happened and the Servants and Gudako kept their mouths shut about the whole thing, leaving them even more confused till now. NOW it made a whole lot more sense.

A trump card is dangerous, even more so when you keep it secret from everyone.

The Avengers shivered, as the to remember the same feeling of overwhelming bloodlust, rage and hate that suddenly came as quickly as it disappeared in just a split second. It wasn't a feeling they'd forget anytime soon.

Or ever for that matter.

"And while Xero has a host of other different magical abilities, like his own portal-based magic he learned from Dr. Strange, Xero's techniques and magic aren't the only thing he has going for him."

"There's more?" Vernal asked, more than done with everything around her.

Having been forced to face the reality that Xero and his allies were stronger than all the members (And Raven herself) she was just done with all of it. Truth be told that this entire thing only proved just how little and weak she and the rest of the tribe really were, having seen Xero's so called "resume" and seeing example after example of the incredible feats he has pulled off, the Branwen tribe didn't come close to achieving what he has achieved.

That wasn't even including those Servants of his, ones they had no-

"Yep, you see while Xero can use magic, one of his most dangerous powers if his ability to summon Heroic Spirits or Servants, as they are commonly called by Magus. Summoning these spirits have "

Or maybe not.

Everyone leaned forward, as Gudako sighed, while Olga looked at the redhead with a look that said, 'Are you sure this is a good idea?'

"This may not be a good idea but at least this will deterrent some idiots, so leave it be girls, Father. Besides, they're going to learn about the Servants sooner or later, might as well let Boomstick and Wiz explain it, save us some time."

Irina nodded hesitantly, as Xenovia grunted but said nothing, as Father Vincent nodded in agreement.

"Heroic Spirts are legendary figures from history that have done amazing things to be remembered as legends. Whether they be a hero, villain or something in-between, these people have been remembered and recorded onto the Throne Of Heroes. One example of how it only requires someone to remember a person for something beyond normal expectations to be regarded as a legend, is the legendary serial killer who stalked the streets of London's alley ways, Jack The Ripper."

The screen changed once again, to show the young Assassin in the dark alleyway, cloaked and twin knives in hand.

"Wait, hold on a second, that girl is Jack the Ripper?"

At Gudako's nodding, the British ambassador a young man with short blonde hair and blue eyes widens in shock and confusion, "but she's just a-"

"Kid? Yeah, she is. Which makes total sense why the police couldn't catch Jack the Ripper, as they were looking for an adult male or a female by the near end of their search. They never once thought it could be a child. Which for all intent and purposes was the prefect cover for her, seeing as no one would dare accus a child of committing such heinous crimes, not with the times they were in."

"If that's so, why did she kill all those working girls?"

"Because she was looking for a mother." At the questioning looks, Gudako elaborated, "Servants, for all the differences between them and humans, are still people. They have their own hopes, dreams, desires and like people, they can be hurt. Psychically or mentally and some of our Servants were already broken during their first lives, having experienced such a hellish experience that it can either make them warry of humans in general or just plain crazy. Jack is a very unique case, as she wasn't born like normal people. Hell, she isn't even an artificial made human, Jack is a collection of wraiths, souls of unborn children that were discarded during the 1800's by the whores and when enough of them were killed, their wrathful souls came together to create a new being altogether. The one thing those children wanted was a mother and when the woman, whom she approached rejected her..."

"She killed them." Levi finished for Gudako, eyes brows furrowing, "But that doesn't explain why she cut their stomachs open or why she went after whores almost exclusively."

"Or why no one thought it was possible for the killer to be a girl?" All Might asked, not believing that someone as dangerous as Jack was able to wonder around without anyone catching on to who she really was, "I know the 1800's weren't the best time for anyone but someone must have surely seen a young girl walking around, covered in blood."

"Sadly Mr. Might, that's exactly what happened, back then, no one cared about anyone. Everyone doing everything they could to survive, as the line between the rich and the poor was very clear back then. Those that could help were unable to due to their own situations and those that COULD help didn't care to help a poor, Orpah girl like her and as for why she targeted working girls? Jack wanted a mother but her wish, her greatest desire was to go back to the womb, the one place she was safe and loved. Normally i wouldn't make excuses for a person who kills pretty much at random but the thing about Jack, is that she quite literally doesn't know any better. No one was around to teach her otherwise and as a result, she learned on the streets. When she tried to be nice, she got a bad reaction, so when she did bad things, she got a good reaction, at least in her mind it was a good reaction because she got what she wanted. Well, sort of. So, in her mind, she was doing something good cause she could fantasize about being back in the womb if only for a minute and if it wasn't her 'real mother' then it didn't matter, because she had plenty of other chances to find her real mother. No one else matters but her mother and she was certain that her 'mother' was waiting for her to find her. So, she kept looking till she was finally killed by a wandering Magus, capable of killing a wraith of her caliber. All she wanted was to go back to the womb, where she was safe and loved."

"Okay, as horrible as that might be, how does this tie into her being a Serv-Heroic Spirit?" David Sheild asked, despite feeling disgust and horror coil within his stomach, as the redhead tapped her chin.

"Well, as one can expect Jack is an Assassin class Servant given her legend as a serial killer and as one can expect, she is an expert at slicing the human body to pieces, despite her mind being that of a five-year-old. Naive and innocent, that can flip at any time and most Magus couldn't stay contracted to Jack, because she doesn't need or rather, doesn't want a master but a mother. Gender is mealiness to her, man or woman, it doesn't matter as Oni-chan has proven that, as he is still alive. To Jack her 'Mother' is the most important thing in the world and everyone else...they're just meat sacks for her to kill and butcher at her mother's leisure."

"But not you?" Adam sneered at the redhead, only for the one known as the Fire Angel to surprise him.

"Nope. If i ever turned-on Oni-chan, Jack wouldn't be hesitant to cut me into a million pieces. While Assassin class Servants aren't good at fighting Servant's head on, humans are another thing entirely. Just something for you people to think about, before you think that you can get away with hurting my Oni-chan, know that we have an ARMY of Assassin's at our command, all having been trained thoroughly in the art of silent killing. Considered this a courtesy call on my part."

The redhead's speech left many pondering on what she said and the implications she spoke about the Assassin class Servants.

If they really did have an army of Assassins, then it could prove to be very problematic.

"Ok, I'm sure I'm going to regret this but are we really, REALLY sure that this girl is THAT Jack the Ripper?"

"Yes Boomstick, it is."

"B-but look at her, she's so cute and adorable, she couldn't hurt a fly."

"I know right? Look at her, there's no way she could be a killer."

Mina and the girls of class one A, the pussy Cats, the huntress in training and even Pepper cooed at the sight of young Jack, as Iida fixed his glasses, looking at Gudako apologetic, "I know what Lady Gudako said but i have to agree with Boomstick, someone so young couldn't be the legendary serial killer."

Gudako said nothing but nodded, having similar thoughts before.

"Jack is an unrepenting killer, with a bloodlust to match and will not hesitate to not only snuff a life out but to torture someone. With her unique skill set, Jack can easily spot the vital parts in the human body and target which section would cause the most damage without actually killing the victim in the process. Also, she has been known to eat the hearts of her victims for some reason, but it might just be a Servant thing."

Everyone saves for a few froze at that sudden admission.

"Okay..." Ruby slowly said, trying to match sure she heard that right, "I think I'm going to forgot i heard that."

"Ditto kid." Rumi said, very much weirded out at the admission of a someone, a child no less, actually eating hearts. Was this something she should be worried about?

"I for one am glad Kota doesn't do that." Shino nodded at her teammate's words, very happy her nephew does NOT eat human hearts or any hearts for that matter.

The screen then showed Jack standing in a room, completely drenched in blood as the room looked like a scene out of slaughterhouse, with body parts, guts and limbs all over the place, as Xero Jack's normally innocent look was gone. She was no longer the innocent, happy good girl to Xero and standing in her place was the legendary Serial Killer that terrorized the London alleyways in the 1800s

Xero entered the room not a second later and the killer was gone, replaced by the sweet girl he knew, "Mommy!" The small Assassin launch herself at Xero and hugging his leg with a bright smile, "We did good, right?"

Her master/mommy could only look on at the carnage with shock and asked the only thing he could, "J-Jack, did you do this?"

"Yes!" The girl said with a big smile, blood dripping from her cheek as she rubbed her face into Xero's abs.

"Holy shit!" Boomstick yelled with wide eyes in shock.

"Oh..."

No one had anything to say, too shocked at the sight before them. Out of everything anyone was expecting, they most certainly not expecting this!

"Remind me not to cross her, Xen."

"Noted."

"In a normal Holy Grail War, there are seven main classes of Servants: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Berserker and Assassin. Jack is of the Assassin cast. They are the silent Killer and Heroic Spirit of Assassinations. Extremely skilled at covert, stealthy, and silent operations. Within certain Holy Grail War structures, the only qualifying Heroic Spirits are the nineteen Hassan-i-Sabbah due to the etymology of the very word Assassin being tied to them."

"Uh, what?"

"What Wiz means, is that Assassin's aren't too well known, as a Servant's known legend plays a part in their overall strength and what class they appear as. The more well known the legend, the stronger the Servant is."

"Ah, thanks."

The future Red Riot nodded to Boomstick for his much easier to understand explanation.

"Makes sense, can't be an Assassin if your well know." Tony mused to himself, as Deku had to begin an entirely new book, as he had...seven books written so far? Damn, someone's been busy little bee.

"As far as Classes go, Assassins are the weakest among the seven classes. The standard opinion of which class is the best is one of the three Knight classes, Saber. Not in terms of pure brute strength or overwhelming power, as these Servants placed within this class are agile and powerful melee warrior's adept at swordsmanship, boasting high ratings in all categories, and they are often heroes from the Age of Gods when magecraft was still commonplace. The qualifying conditions require the Heroic Spirits to have legends as knights of the sword, and it is the class that requires the highest levels of attributes in all but the Magic attribute. It is possible for the status qualifications to be bypassed in special circumstances, such as through Nero Claudius's Imperial Privilege and as one can expect, one of these Servants is none other one of King Arthur's knights, the Knight of the sun Gawain and his legendary holy sword, Excalibur Galatine."

The screen then showed said knight, with the glowing sword in hand and a confident smile on his face.

Cinder hissed under her breath, as her left arm start to burn under her skin, the Grimm Parasite within her felt...afraid?

What?

How was that possible?!

"Aggg! The light, it burns!"

Dark Shadow cried within Tokoyami, causing the bird headed boy to wince at the sudden screaming. He waved off his classmate's concern, as they looked at him with worry and despite the pain he was feeling, he was able to admire the beauty of the holy sword.

"Knight of the sun huh? How very appropriate." Ozpin took a sip of his drink, feeling like he was in the presence of the God of Light again. The power of the sword reminded him of both the god and the relics in terms of power.

"It's pretty..." Melissa awed, as many did the same at seeing the Holy Sword glowing with power.

"The second knight class is the good old Lancers, basically spear man or women and people who use long, hard, pointy things to poke people with."

Chuckles were heard at Boomstick's dumb joke, while some like the Schnee wrinkled their noses at the joke.

"Jokes aside, Servants placed within this class, many of which are Heroic Spirits who were knights, are very agile, display excellent close combat skills, show proficiency in hit-and-run tactics that capitalize on range and speed, and are skilled with long-range melee weapons such as spears and lances. The qualifying conditions to be placed within the class are second only to the Saber class, requiring overall excellent attributes and a high agility attribute. Their only particular class ability is Magic Resistance, and although they "tend to be less flashy than the other classes", they display great reliability."

"Prime example is the immortal queen of the Shadow Land and the teacher of legends, as well as old Reep's own teacher, Scathach!"

The screen changed once more, to show the wine-colored haired woman with a smirk on her full lips, as she twirled her twin spears in her hands with practiced ease.

Everyone, save for a few who had gotten used to seeing the Lancer, blushed hard at seeing the violet haired woman in a very TIGHT bodysuit, showing off her perfect figure, as she smoothly used her deadly red spears.

Some of the more perverted ones like team SSSN, Ilia, Dew and Nebula of team NDGO, Jaune, Mineta, Kaminari, several world leaders and just basically any male with a healthy libido all but drooled over the body suit warning woman. Hell, even ones like Logan, Whitely, All Might, Endavor, and Banner were getting a little hot under the collar at the sight of the beautiful woman on screen.

"Hey, wait a minute, if she's immortal, how can Xero summon her?"

Everyone blinked, remembering that the woman was the IMMORTAL queen of the Shadow Land. If she can't die...how did she become a Servant?

"Nobody really knows, just one of those things you don't question just go with it."

"Oh, that's bullshit!"

Bakugo was ignored, as everyone mentally agreed with him but didn't voice it.

Wiz simply shrugged, as he cleared his throat, "Moving on, the third knight class is the Archer. As you can guess, Servants placed within this Class excel in possessing powerful Noble Phantasms, are able to act as highly effective scouts, and are frequently Heroic Spirits from the Age of Gods when magecraft was still commonplace. The qualifying condition for the Heroic Spirits is not attributes, but instead the possession of powerful projectile weapons or special abilities related to projectile weapons. They possess high Magic Resistance as a Class Skill, so most modern magi are unable to inflict damage to them. They also possess Independent Action, allowing them the ability to act independently for a length of time without an active supply of magical energy from their Master."

"So, we got an all arounder, a hit and runner, then a long-range attacker."

Nezu mused to himself, "Quite impressive i must say, i would certainly not want to face one of these Servants in combat."

"Principal Nezu, we've barely scratched the surface of what our Servants can do, and this isn't even half of them. There's still much more to come."

"But some Archers ignore the whole 'fire from afar' thing and like to get up and personal, like this guy!"

The screen changed to show Emyia firing his bow, only for a shadow Servant to appear behind him, attempting to attack him, only for him to jump away at the last second. As he was landing a couple of feet away, Emyia pulled his bow apart, creating two short swords, allowing him to attack the Shadow Servant.

Cinder blinked, seeing the red cloaked Archer us a weapon very similar to her own. That was a surprise to see, as Mei eyes widen in amazement, "Oh cool! How does he do that?! Some sort of super, advanced-"

"Magic."

The pink haired inventor deflated at Gudako's answer, as she crossed her arms over her rather large chest and huffed with a pout. While magic was cool and all, she couldn't just invent magic!

She was a girl of technology!

"Next up, we have the Rider class Servant. They are one of the Four Cavalry Classes among the seven standard Servant classes summoned for the Holy Grail War. Servants placed within this Class are those known for riding mounts, whether living beasts or human constructs, during their lives. There are even some cases where legendary animals have been summoned as a Servant such as Vánagandr and Red Hare. They generally have lower attributes compared to the Three Knight Classes, but the abilities of the mounts described in their legends compensate by granting them powerful Noble Phantasms or abilities. They have the class abilities of Magic Resistance and a high rank in Riding, allowing them to fully utilize the abilities of their mounts. Depending on the rank, they can take full control of everything from simple horses, modern machinery like motorcycles and planes, and even Divine Beasts but only if their skill level is high enough. Dragons are the only exception as the ability to ride them falls under a different Skill; however, rare exceptions do occur."

"No, my sister and i are not a Divine Beasts or a part of a Noble Phantasm." Ursula smirked, as Ruby opened her mouth and promptly shut it. That went on for a second, before she opened it again, "No, you cannot ride on either of our backs. Only my little brother can do so, as he has proven himself worthy of such a privilege."

Ruby pouted even more as Ember chirped in, smiling at the younger Rose's pouty face. Nora did so as well but unlike Ruby, she was more than ready to whine. "But why?! Can you image the terror we can strike in the hearts of our and big boss's enemies! Dragon Queen and Hammer Girl, fighting to make the world a better place and breaking legs along the way, while being super awesome!"

"It would be very awesome as you say but unless you can defeat me in combat, then the answer is still no. No matter how amusing that thought is, those are our laws."

Nora pouted and grumble something about dumb laws and ruining all her fun.

"I take it, that these laws are what caused your sister to marry Xero?" Erwin asked, as Ember nodded.

"Indeed commander. While we have hidden ourselves from you humans, as to prevent a pointless war between our two people, we dragons live to fight. Not necessary to the death per-say, just we naturally love a good fight and someone who can push us to our limits. But the reason why Ursula MATED with my little brother, is because he beat her and proven his strength to her. This makes him an ideal mate, as we dragon live for a very, VERY long time and can wait for a mate strong enough to defeat us, to make strong babies. As a Magus, it is very unusual for one to defeat a dragon, but it was nothing more than a testament to his strength, rather than my sister being weak. Like some of these Servants, our scales have high magic resistance and most normal spells wouldn't even scratch our scales, let alone actually cause us pain."

So, they fight to find a strong mate, simply to have babies with?

That was...

"Sad." Summer spoke quietly to herself, looking at the redhead dragon queen, "So you dragons don't marry out of love? Only procreation?"

"That is our way. That is not to say we can't find love, as i said before, we dragons live much longer than you humans. So honestly, we're just saving ourselves some heartbreak, as compared to dragons, humans are weak and fragile but cunning creatures. That's just how things are, and no amount of emotion can change that."

"Even if my little brother-in-law has refused to sleep with Ursula simply because he doesn't 'love her', i can respect that."

Truth to be told, Ember was actually pretty happy about this turn of events. As the queen, it was her duty to not only protect her people but to ensure their ancient laws are upheld. Even if dragons were prideful creatures, they weren't stupid or foolish. Strength, willing very much needed, was not everything and honor meant nothing if you were dead.

So, they compromised and hiding themselves away from the 'human world' was a necessity, not only for the survival of her race but keeping their planet intact, she had borne witness to what the atomic bomb could do, as Ember got a front row set to watch what it did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

To stay alive, they had to adapt and learn to share the world, least they drown in their own blood in a bloody war. It wasn't fair but that was the cold, harsh truth of the world they lived in.

Much like how some types of Daemons can only be challenged by those with the talents of exorcism.

The sliver eyed warrior fell silent, as did everyone else, having to suddenly be reminded of not only their own mortality but the fact this woman, this dragon can swat them easily like flies.

It was both nerve-racking and humbling at the same time.

"Plus, some Riders can give people like the Flash in terms of surprise attacks, a run for their money and look hot as hell, while they do it!"

The screen showed Medusa, attacking quickly, striking down several armored soldiers before they could even blink, as she held her main weapon in hand, her figure clearly viable in her tight, black dress, as she moved like water. Fluently, easily anticipating their attacks and reacting accordingly.

Many blushed at yet another beautiful woman appeared on screen, while some mentally wondered how and why all the people Xero summoned, were so fucking hot?! Seriously, were these people legends or supermodels?!

"Next up is the Caster class Servants. As the name implies, Casters are Magus and Heroic Spirit of Spells and Sorcery (魔術師の英霊?), is one of the Four Cavalry Classes among the seven standard Servant classes summoned for the Holy Grail War. Servants placed within this Class are usually adept in magecraft, and the only qualifying condition is the mastery of sorceries of the highest caliber compared to the specific parameter requirements of the other classes. Due to not requiring any strong statistics, they generally have low combat abilities, and due to the majority of Servants having some form of Magic Resistance, this Class is thought to be the weakest of all seven. They make up for this with other means, using magecraft that no longer exists in the current age and, no matter which Heroic Spirit is of which Class, possessing many possible ploys to be used against enemies. Those of the Saber Class can likely challenge any Caster who uses magecraft as their main offensive ability without needing to plan due to their high Magic Resistance, while those of lesser resistance like the Rider Class may require more strategy. Their class abilities are Territory Creation, altering the surrounding lands in favor of their sorcery, and Item Construction, which allows the magus to create magical items and tools."

"So, their basically glass cannons?" Izuku asked, as Boomstick cut in.

"Basically, glass cannons. They can throw their weight around sure, but they sure as hell can't take it."

Asui looked at Izuku, "Midoriya can you see into the future?"

The people of class 1A laughed, as Izuku duked down, blushing at how he got his own echo, even Bakugo. While Clint huffed, making his own teammates look at him, "What? That's bullshit and here's why, have you seen Xero and Gudako in action? There's nothing glass about either of those two."

"But just because they aren't very good against other Servants, doesn't mean they aren't good against humans." Natasha cold logic got everyone to freeze for a moment, as they slowly nodded at her point. It was true, not many of them had the magic resistance these Servants had and those that did, were on Xero's side, so they didn't have to worry about getting attacked by one of these Casters.

"Hmmmmmm." Ozpin silently thought for a moment, these Caster sounded similar to the Maidens and Salem. True, while Salem was immortal, she general had very weak defenses and it was only thanks to her immortality that she survived getting literally beaten to death. As a result of her immortal, she doesn't even try to defend, as she focuses more on psychological warfare tactics than anything else. Even if she could easily rival all four Maidens but in terms of pure physical strength...she was pretty weak actually.

She knew HOW to use weapons but again, she mostly focused on psychological warfare tactics, magic and those she turned to her side to act as her weapons against humanity.

This line of thinking would normally be a fool's errand as all those could be stopped in some form or capacity. Then again, when you have an army of animal-based monsters protecting, why should you learn how to fight hand to hand or even defense? If the Grimm don't kill you, you'd be too tired to actually do anything to the queen herself. Ozpin himself could has battled Salem in the past, when he could get past her magic, deliver the smack down on her.

But with her immortality, it meant nothing.

"But now with Lord Mazoku on our side and all these powerful allies, Salem won't know what hit her."

This time, this life may be the last one he has, and Ozpin was actually looking forward to finding out.

"But just because they're glass cannons, doesn't mean they aren't dangerous."

"Yeah, just look at Xero's first god level threat and the king of all Mages: Solomon."

The screen changed again, to show Xero, Gudako and all their Servants facing off against Solomon in his time temple, as the final battle with him was starting to reach its climax.

"Kiddo, is that-"

"Yes." Gudako said solemnly, eyes glazing over as her mind wondered back to the final battle with the King of Mages, "This is it; this is Solomon's time temple and where the Romani took his last breath in this world."

The orange haired girl wiped a lone tear away at the reminder of the good doctor. Romani and Solomon were separate beings during the time of the Chaldea quest, Romani was aware that Solomon was his other half but that was it. He had nothing to do with the king of Mages actions and in the end, Roma-SOLOMON saved her Oni-chan from Gotiea by using himself as a human shield.

That may not make up for all he did but the king last act, made its mark on their hearts.

That what happened between the three of them, what they had, the trust...it wasn't a lie. The man had helped both her and Xero through the rough times, helped pick them back up, healed them when they needed it and was always willingly to lend an ear if they needed it. That was enough to convince her that the Romani they knew wasn't a lie and that was good enough for her.

Even if he was lazy, pessimistic and generally unreliable, he was there when they needed it and when it counted.

The fact Solomon's last act was to not only resurrect Olga as a Servant, but he ensures that she and her dear Oni-chan would be able to keep their Servants. Originally the Servants were bound to Chaldea and through the use of Class Cards, Solomon changed it, so rather than be bounded to the building, the Servants were tied with their souls.

It was probably a lot more complicated than that but ultimately, neither she nor Xero cared to learn more about it.

The Servants would be bond to them for life or when both sides break the contract.

"Huh, not bad." Roman found it kind of funny that someone else had the same name as himself, only it was spelled with an "I" at the end. That and he was apparently the king of all mages, it was almost a-

WACK

"Ow! Neo?!"

The short woman smiled innocently under Roman's glare, as he huffed, muttering about 'short tempers' and such. Well to be fair, she IS a short woman, so a short temper is to be expected i suppose.

"Next up is the final member of the seven main Classes, The Berserker class and as the name implies, someone is going to get their ass beaten. HARD!"

Boomstick explained excitedly and anticipation of the final class Servant.

Everyone quieted down, leaning forward, wondering just how this class stacked up to the other power houses, as Wiz spoke.

"It should be noted that as far as Servants go, the Berserker class is by far the most dangerous of the seven main classes. Mostly because of the madness Enhancement. You see, Servants placed within this Class are always Heroic Spirits who have gone berserk during battle at least once in their lifetime. This trait allows them to use the special ability Mad Enhancement (Madness Enchantment) which trades their consciousness and sanity for a large power boost. This Class is usually for Magus who have summoned Heroic Spirits with insufficient abilities and attributes, allowing them to strengthen their Servants to make up for their lower attributes and compete against stronger opponents. While it is ideal for Servants to reach the level of the Heroic Spirit, the Class allows for their attributes to surpass even the original. If used on an already strong Heroic Spirit, such as Heracles, they will become empowered to truly extraordinary levels. The abuse of this to create powerful Servants has made the Class referred to as the strongest of all seven classes. It is possible to specify in the summoning ritual that the Servant be placed under the Berserker Class for those familiar with the workings of the Grail System. But you do so at your own peril, as master's who are unable to utilize coordination with their Servant unless gifted with superb control over them. The lack of complex rational thinking keeps them from being able to follow more than simple directions, and it may even require Command Spells to keep them from acting on their own. They generally rely on little other than brute strength and overwhelming, uncontrolled strikes to physically beat down their opponents. As a result, in every Holy Grail War before the Fifth, the magical energy consumption and insanity of the Berserker Class has made them incredibly difficult to maintain and control."

"Unless your Xero or Gudako. Well, long story short, they take A LOT of mana to use and one misstep, one wrong move or phrase and they'll kill you without a second thought. But that doesn't mean ALL Berserkers are madder than the Mad Hatter or as trigger happy. Some are completely rational and easy to get along with just like any other Servant or human. That is, so long as you don't mention the object that their madness centers around, or more to the point, say their trigger word. If you do, even by accident, then you're as good dead." Boomstick joked, at first but grew more serious as the screen changed to show said Amazon queen.

Naturally many blushed at the sight of the sliver haired woman, seeing as her beauty but knew it was more on a primal level, rather then

"A perfect example is the Amazon queen, Penthesilea. Despite generally being grouchy and high strung, she is very rational but the second you mention Achilles or call her pretty, you'll be good."

"Hold up, I get why she might go berserk at the mention of the man who killed her but why would she go berserk if someone calls her pretty?" Rhodney asked, very confused at the mention of why-

"That's because Achilles called her pretty, stunning Pen long enough for him to kill her. As a result, how she died became a stigma on her sense of honor and sees anyone calling her pretty, as the deepest insult anyone can bestow upon her. Totally worth it though, even if she crushed my head between those glorious thighs of hers, I'd die a happy man."

"Me too." The perverted duo of UA, team SSSN and several other males all said at the same time, getting glares from all the women and some "You can't be serious" from the rest of the men present.

Meh, not that i blame them, short of not, Penthesilea fucking hot.

"Ritsuka, i want to be clear on i understand this right: A Berserker is the most likely to kill their master than any other Servant?"

Oh, Tony was using her real name, never a good sign. The redhead sweated at the question, as she mentally tried to explain this, without making it sound...oh, who was she kidding? No matter how she worded it, it wouldn't change the fact the Berserker was one of the most dangerous Servants you could summon and are as likely to kill their masters, just as much as their enemies.

Or just anyone in general that remotely pisses them off.

"Okay, yeah they are daddy. Mostly due to their madness enhancement and even then, they might kill someone due to their absurd strength. It's like you're dealing with the Doom Slayer and that's not even including the fact some Berserker's madness might cloud their judgement, twist their perspective of reality. Like, okay, have you ever heard of Rose-tinted glasses? Okay, it's like that but they're wielded onto the Berserker's eyes and the tint of the glasses is the reality the focus on. Not to mention they won't hesitate to destroy ANYONE that dares threaten their fragile view of reality." Gudako explained, as Tony nodded, his frown growing deeper and deeper, as she went on. Olga snorted, getting many to look at her, as she scoffed.

"What Stark is forgetting to mention is that other Servants beside Berserker class have a Madness Enhancement or don't need one, simply because they are already broken. I think many of you are already forgetting that Servants aren't just machines or people created by magic. They were once living, breathing beings and have already lived a full life or had it cut short, very short in some cases... Remember the legend of the Valkyrie, Brynhildr?"

Many winced at the reminder of that fact and flinched twice, as they remembered the Lancer's legend. It was not a legend for the faint of heart needless to say.

"How bad?"

The redhead winced at her adopted father's stoic tone, knowing full well that he was keeping his anger and fear in check and while she wasn't making it easy for him, she tried to soften the blow. "It...it really depends on the Servant themselves. You know Atalanta, the duel haired one? Well, she originally didn't like Oni-chan too much, ya know due to her own past but they were able to work things out. She is one of the Berserkers that CAN speak and think rationally but fearing that she would lose herself to her own anger and hate, she...she had Oni-chan to, umm..." Gudako furrowed her brows trying to figure out how to put this delicately, "Look, let me put it this way, we've got Command Seals for a reason, and we've taken steps to ensure our own protection." Ultimately, Gudako went for broke and decide to just give a vague answer, not wanting to deal with the impending argument from the Faunus if they learned how her Oni-chan "Tamed" Atalanta and was the one to 'hold the chain to her rage and hate'".

Both figuratively and literally.

It wasn't something they openly said but they didn't hide it neither. But those Faunus, from the White Fang and Kuo Kuana wouldn't understand it and truthfully, Gudako couldn't blame them. She had a brief overlook of the wars fought in the freedom of both self-expression and the Faunus, despite the Faunus war seemly achieving nothing of true significance in the present day.

Despite clearly winning the war, many humans acted like spiteful spoiled brats and the one leading the charge of discrimination, was Atlas.

Seriously, the proof was in the fact one of the Ace-Ops members, Marrow left the team and Atlas behind the moment he saw greener pasters. That fact alone only cemented just how badly Atlas treated the Faunus, if one of their more higher-ranking officers and a part of their BEST team all but abounded his team without much swaying.

Hell, there was no honey words or swaying at all!

They just treated the poor dog Faunus with the respect he was clearly denied by his own teammates, be it consciously or unconsciously they clearly had no respect for Marrow, and the second he realized he could do much better with THEM, people who are basically aliens to the people of Remnant.

That alone said a lot of how Atlas treated its own if you had an extra appendage.

Bastards.

"What Gudako means, is that Senpai tamed that wild animal that is Berserker Atalanta."

Damnit BB!

Seeing the look of anger on all the Faunus's faces, Gudako acted quickly, as she looked at the Curator, "Mr. Curator, can you stop the video and play back the real reason on why Oni-chan 'tamed' Atalanta and her Berserker self?"

"Certainly Ms. Stark and before any of you from the White Fang or Kuo Kuana get the wrong idea, it's NOT what you think. Please, save your anger and questions until AFTER you see the memory of what happened between the three that lead to the events of Mr. Mazoku, as Ms. BB said 'taming', the Berserker. You must remember that Ms. Atlanata is in fact NOT a Faunus, she is a Heroic Spirit of the Berserker class and MUCH more powerful than any of you could ever hope to in your lifetime and despite having every right to be anger, remember that this is NOT that."

The Faunus, even Ghira grumbled but respectfully settled down, knowing full well that the Curator could enforce his rules without anyone being able to stop him.

This is his dominion after all, and they were all but guests in said dominion. Best not to piss a guy with godlike powers after all, that was just common sense.

The video started and it showed a much younger Xero, in his room, skinny as hell compared to his present body.

"Hiss. Oh fuck, this shit still hurt like hell."

It has been nearly five days since Xero had returned to Chaldea after nearly an entire YEAR trapped within, what Gudako would call, the "Rat Singularity" and honestly, she wouldn't be far off the mark with the name.

Pepper let out a small gasp, as her hands went to her mouth, while Tony hissed at seeing the freshly made whip marks on his son's back and the old bandages covering his now scarred back. Even with them covering his back, it was impossible to miss with the massive blood stains coating them. It wasn't a pretty sight and it was horrifying to witness it in its first, raw form.

It was bad enough seeing the aftermath but seeing in its first state was just horrifying to the two parents.

"Well now that's a disguesting sight to look at." Blunt as ever, Levi spoke what was on his mind, his face scurthing up in disguse, as Banner had to ignore the angry growls the Hulk was admitting within his mind at the sight of "Xero-boy" hurt.

One of the reasons why Banner decide to stay with the Avengers is because the big green guy actually liked Xero and seeing as the green golith was willingly to listen to him.

"I know that this is serious, but big boss kind of looks like Jaune." What Nora said was true, both boys were basically tooth pinks in size and very skinny too. Though Jaune was a bit more...chucker then Xero, seeing as unlike the blonde hunter in training, Xero was so skinny one could see his ribs poking out.

Jaune knew Nora wasn't insulting him and honestly, he didn't even feel any envy at seeing how muscular Xero is now, compared to how he looked like back then. if nothing else, it made the Arc feel better about himself.

After all, if Xero could go from being a toothpick to the proud form he has now, why couldn't he?

Logan simply took out one of his cheap cigarettes and lite it before speaking, "I've long for a long time, been in more war's than anyone here, aside from Xero and Gudako here. Rare few types have i ever seen someone actually getting flogging and walking away from it alive, is something impressive. Especially back in the 1300's, where's even getting a cut would more than likely lead to death."

"It was that bad?" Doctor Oobleck asked, as the savage mutant nodded, "Yep. Though in all fairness, back then the human body hasn't developed the immune system they all share today to fight off diseases that would kill people back in the 1300's. Back then, most people were expected to live too forty at most."

"Much like a huntsman." Peter Port muttered to himself sadly, knowing that a huntsman worth was not in their weapons, skills or even semblance. Nope, their worth was judge by their age, as the ones who lived past thirty, let alone forty, were worth their salt.

"Still, flogging a teenager can't be legal, even back in those times." Steve said, feeling his stomach turn and twist into knots as bile threaten to come out but held it back. The super soldier never approved of torture for ANY reason, no matter who it was done too. Too see someone so young, his friend no less, being tortured by whipping was just downright Sicking to the blonde. The fact it was his friend, only made it that much worse in his mind.

Being the "Soldier out of time" as Loki put it, when Steve came out of the ice and learned what had transpired, he honestly felt alone. All his friends, everyone he knew and everything he held dear was basically gone.

While thankfully it wasn't in the worst-case scenario type of gone, it was just the world Steve knew had moved on without him in it. That everything had grown and grew, while he remained on ice and everyone he loved had passed away.

Save for a few.

While Peggy was getting older, not having many years left, the blonde super soldier was extremely thankful he still had trusted friends like Xero, Gudako, Bucky and Logan here with him, to help him navigate this new world he had stumbled into.

And hey, he got to meet three generations of Stark, so that was something.

"You underestimate the power the Inquisition holds during this time in history Steve. This was the time of the 100-year war with it in full swing, suspicion and distrust were at an all-time high. Not to mention with a sudden sickness plaguing everyone making people very jumpy, especially with all the sickness and drought spreading across the countryside, the Church had more power than anyone in the world at the time...Plus the people were more than happy to give them support, as they were the only ones that could make sense of what was happening at the time."

"Even if that means torturing and killing innocent people?" Tenya asked, disgust clear in the fifteen-year old's voice, as Edge-Shot spoke in a low tone, "Normally i would agree with you kid but given the state of things and how quickly the Black Plague spread, it may have been completely necessary to keep the non-infected people safe and themselves."

It was a dirty job and while the ninja hero didn't like to admit, sometimes certain actions were needed and at times, there was no good choice. Sometimes, you had to pick and choose who to save other the other.

Sometimes, you had to make a choice:

Save one life or risk trying to save everyone and ultimately you save no one.

"Okay, i didn't get an A in history, but i understand HOW they gained all that power to basically do whatever they wanted. My question is, what is so special about the Du Rune's that the Inquisition would risk losing their power, to go after them and why did Xero go to such lengths to protect them with everything else hanging over his head?" Rhodey asked, not at all understanding why they would go to such means to get information out of Tony's son. He heard bits and pieces of what had happened but neither had gone into detail and Rhodey didn't push the issue. But he wondered just what was so important about the two young children that Xero would risk, not only his life but humanity's future, in an attempt to protect the siblings.

"Because Xero's word is bond to him." Olga said simply, getting War Machine to look at her, as she sighed, "Once he makes a promise, he keeps his word, no matter what happens. Even if it costs other people their lives or his own, he'll follow through with his word."

"Even if it could possible costs humanities future?"

"Even then." The white-haired Caster nodded at Styker's question, knowing that he'd probably try to use it against her master in the future but did so anyway. She gave the military leader a sideways glance, "What you and everyone else fails to see, is that Xero WILL keep his word, regardless of the cost. On the plus side, you know you know that you can trust my master to keep his word, once he gives it and honestly, he is a terrible lair. Unlike some people."

Like him.

It went unsaid but everyone could hear the implications, but none wanted to voice it.

Wanting to break the tension, Ororo spoke, "Okay, we understand that but why did the Inquisition purse Hugo and Amicia De Rune. I've looked through the history books and they only mentioned the De Rune's owning some lands in France, being lords and being killed during the 100-year war but that's it."

Gudako and Olga silently looked to one another for a minute, before the redheaded master spoke. "It's complicated and leave it at that. It'll be easier for you to understand, once the memory starts and you'll see it all play out. That was one of the milestones Oni-chan had to endure on our Grand Order quest."

"Given all that has happened, what has been discussed, i have decide that it will be the next Arc we shall view." The Curator said, as everyone nodded, while Tony just stayed silent, feeling anger and frustration whelp up in the pit of his stomach, coiling around his insides like a serpent. Once again, a piece of his son's past was finally revealed to him, and it was horrible.

"Even if i was there for him back then, even if Lilith had told me about Xero, would that have changed anything?"

No.

His genius mind already ran the numbers, crossed all the T's and zeroed all the zero's there were to zero. Even if he had known back then, before the Grand Order, it would have change nothing and it frustrated him to no end. Ultimately, Tony knew that wondering about "What ifs" were pointless and all he could do now, was support his son and daughter in their future endeavors.

That was all a father could do.

But that was irrelevant, as the second he came back, his so called "Personal Nurse" Florence had him put into quarantine, preventing anyone be it Servant or human, seeing him. Which, to be completely fair she had every right and did the best thing she could have done in this type of situation. The time period from which he came back from, was not only riddled with diseases and goddess knows what else, it was the time of the Black Plague.

A deadly disease that had ripped and torn its way through Europe without pause.

That and the fact his back was torn all to hell thanks to Lord DICK-ols's interrogator had torn his back to sherds without mercy and even with his newly awakened Yoki, it didn't heal quite right. Thus, upon returning to Chaldea and being forced to take a bath for five hours straight in disinfect water, then taken to what was rapidly becoming his own personal recovery bed.

It was only today he was allowed to be up and about, to greet his Servants and friends, try to soothe their worries and what not. But because of the nature of his wounds, he was forced to go without a shirt or lay his back on anything till it healed up properly. Florence was very adamant about, which Xero didn't fight her on. Cause honestly, every time something touched his back, it felt like a fire was igniting through every cell in his body.

Tony clenched the arm rests of his seat so hard, they started cracking, as his wife had put her hand on his shoulder, not exactly calming him down, but stopping him from going off the handle. Oh, good lord, when he woke up this morning, this is NOT what he was expecting. AT. ALL.

"Despite that, things around here have changed."

Not in a physical sense but more to the point, the atmosphere, mood and people within Chaldea. There was an emotion that seemed to be shared among everyone, Servant and human alike as they looked at him whenever he walked by:

Respect.

There were several emotions flooding through Chaldea but that one, singular emotion was present on EVERYONE's faces. Everyone, even ones like Gilgamesh and Jalter now held a certain amount of respect for him and if Xero were being honest, it felt good.

"I know how that feels."

Both Arc and Midoriya thought at the same time, feeling kinship with the Mazoku on the feeling of getting respect. Both had been denimed respect most of their life, due to circumstances out of their control. Namely, Izuku being Quirk-less and Jaune's father not training him, no matter how much he pleaded and begged him too.

Guess even legendary warriors have to have a starting line too.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Remy mused, as he recalled the Avengers meeting the mention two. While Jalter really didn't care for them one way or another, Gilgamesh wanted to do his own evaluation of them, to see if they were 'worthy' of being his mongrel's teammates.

Long story short, he wasn't impressed with their skills but their will and determination to go on, even against impossible odds.

While it was a huge blow to see just how powerful the golden clad man was, they all understood how he got the title "Humanity's first hero". He most certainly lived up to his legend and then some.

"What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Seinna asked impatiently, as Gudako merely titled her head forward.

"Keep watching tiger woman."

This was a mission, his mission, one that he completed all on his own without help and even if he nearly died, it still felt good to complete it by himself.

It made him feel a certain amount of pride within himself to be able to do it without anyone's help and while he understood why he needed the Servant's help, it still felt good to complete a self-imposed mission by himself. It felt good, it really did!

"That it does."

Try as Winter might, she couldn't help but sympathize and even empathize with Xero to a certain degree.

Like him, Winter decides to leave the Schnee name, company and house back in her younger days, joining the Atlas military, not only to escape her oppressive father but to prove herself. Not only to prove herself worthy of the name Schnee or prove she was just fine on her own with Jacque's money but to prove to HERSELF that she COULD do what was required of her.

That she, Winter Schnee, didn't need any fancy tech, name, influence or money to prove she could stand on her own two feet. The fact she was not only a specialist and the personal aid to general Ironwood himself, was enough to prove to Winter that she went above and beyond what she original set out to do and you know what?

It DID feel good to accomplish it.

So yeah, she could understand the feeling of accomplish and pride that was currently flooding through the younger version of Xero and for the first time since she came her, she felt a small connection with him, if only for a brief moment, before her morals squashed it.

Regardless of her own feelings, Winter knew that Xero was a criminal.

Maybe not officially, but Winter knew it and sooner or later, they would come to blows. Not to mention the more and more she sees, Winter was becoming convinced that Mazoku and the Avengers would become a threat to Atlas, even Remnant as a whole. No matter what her feelings were, she was a soldier of Atlas, and its safety came first.

With Weiss's safety above all else.

"Now if only i didn't have to deal with this horrible pain in my goddess damned back!"

Ever since he started viewing the memories of his Servants, normal pain had lost all meaning to him, and it was the only thing that kept him from cracking under the pressure of torture was the fact he knew what it was like to be BURNED ALIVED!

"Burned alive?" Ruby all but ran towards Gudako for an explanation, as the older redhead sighed.

"If you just keep watching, Wiz and Boomstick will tell you. Just know, it's one of the prices we as masters must pay for summoning Servants. It's easier to understand that way and for the love of God and goddess, STOP INTERRUPTING THE VIDEO! We're going to be here all day if you keep this up!" Gudako all but yelled the last part, as Ruby 'eep' backward, but did as she was told, head down in shame. Yang glared at her for scaring her younger sister, but the adopted Stark pay the blonde no mind.

"Everyone, even the greatest of us heroes can break under the right circumstances master, it is nothing to be ashamed of. You however, held out longer than anyone in your position would, especially with that skinny body of yours. You held firm and strong under the threat of death and i couldn't be prouder to call you, my master."

"Indeed, they can." Ozpin sighed, as some of the heroes sent the older man looks of sympathy. Gran Torino put in his own two cents.

"True enough but it speaks volumes of those who can come withstand that kind of pressure, even more so for someone who has lived as long as you Professor Ozpin and still be sane."

Or sane enough to act like he does, as Ozpin wasn't too sure if he actually was sane or just suppressing his insanity by...well, who the hell knows. Maybe it was something the God of Light did to him without being told or something else entirely.

All the headmasters knew for certain, was that he wasn't sane, but he wasn't insane either.

Yet.

The fact Scathach, the legendary warrior queen of the Shadow Land, said that to him made him soar with pride and put a smile on his face at her sincere words. Cu had even told him that his teacher never complemented anyone unless they earned it with their own two hands.

However, during the entire day Xero was basically babied by everyone!

Yes, he meant EVERYONE!

That included even Jalter, who by the way liked to cause him trouble just because she liked to do so, had made it a point not to stress him out too much or make any move to touch his flogged back. Bloody hell, Boudica had to make it a point to hover behind him, along with mama Emyia and Artoria to ensure some of the more impulsive/affection Servants like Nobu and Nero from jumping him to get some much-needed hugs from him.

"Weak..." One of Raven's tribesmen said lowly, only to get a glare from Gudako and Tony, shutting him up from the venom in their eyes.

Even if the motherly redhead clearly wanted her own hug, she restrained herself from doing so, even if the Rider looked desperate to do so.

"Damn boss is lucky."

Jean thought, both in admiration and a bit of jealousy. While it was fine to feel a little envies, the ash haired man knew better then to let it take complete control of his thoughts. That lead to madness, betrayal and death.

Shockingly enough, it was Kiyohime who had stopped ones like Nero from doing so and not because she was being her usual jealous self but in a very rare moment of clarity, knew that it would cause her dear master great pain if someone did touch it.

Medea so badly wanted to use her healing magic to help him, but Florence wouldn't let her, simply because they had no idea what his Yoki would do in the event Medea attempted to forceful heal his wounds. His magic and Yoki were slowly merging, not becoming one mind you but merging to the point the two energies wouldn't come into conflict within his body.

So, it wouldn't tear his body apart.

"I'm guessing this was something common in the Zee's early days." Banner asked, as Gudako nodded.

"Yep. Back then, when Miria was still alive, some of her children died because of the conflicting energies colliding within their bodies, tearing their bodies apart from the inside out as a result. Bad as it sounds, that's what caused them to create the Arcane Arts. So, they could learn to not only channel their magic through their bodies, but its main purpose was also to merge the two energies together safely, where's they wouldn't hurt the user."

"So, the Arcane Arts were developed by Xero-sensei's clan, to help channel their Yoki and magic together without killing themselves?" Irina asked for clarification, as Gudako nodded.

"Yep. Back then, they didn't even realize just what they could do with magic powering their bodies, nor how enhanced they would become in combat. That was just a bonus and later, turned out to be quite a boon during the first war of Magus vs. Non-Magi, even if in the end neither side won. Outnumber the Magus may have been, but the non-Magi were clearly outmatched by said Magus."

Huh, you learn something new every day and it made him the prefect person to teach her and Xenovia the arts.

Medea huffed and growled but reluctantly did nothing, not wanting to make things worse than they already were. He would have to remember to thank her properly later, after he got back on his feet. But that didn't stop her from making potions and such to help speed his recovery along, much to Florence's annoyance, as she believed magic and healing should in fact NOT go together.

Strangely enough but seeing as she was a Berserker class Servant, he supposed it made some sense.

Even if Florence had this weird thing about not believing magic had any place in medical field, it doesn't change the fact she was right about one thing. There was no telling how his Yoki would react to another magic, even if that magic is that of a Servants. His magic and blood were already tainted by his Yoma blood and from what he had heard from Roman, his blood was becoming highly toxic to humans.

If Miria knew about this or his mother, neither one ever told him.

"Hold on a minute, if Miria was his first ancestor, wouldn't she long be dead?" The president asked, as Gudako simply spoke.

"Time travel, remember? When he went back in time to fix his body, he had to get blood from the original source of his Yoma power to stabilize his body. But that's all i know, as Oni-chan and Miria had a private talk of sorts. He never told me what it was and i didn't ask him about it. Mostly because it's none of my business and i honestly don't it would change much anyway if i knew."

Yawning to himself, Xero laid down on his bed, having to have to rearranged so he could sleep on his stomach and wearing nothing but boxers, Xero felt sleep creep into his being, as he laid his head on the pillow-

Knock, knock.

"Master? Are you awake?"

Blinking the sleep from his eyes, Xero turned his head to the door and spoke, "It's open!"

Even if he was half asleep, it was a surprise to see Atalanta, both Berserker and Archer, enter his room with Archer holding some kind of cream?

"Oh. I'm sorry, i didn't know you were-"

"I wasn't. I just laid down, so you didn't wake me up."

Xero cut off the Archer, as the Berserker looked everywhere but at him, as he could see...guilt? Why did so look guilty? He was smart and had a photographic memory, but he didn't recall anything that would have made either huntress feel or look guilty about. He knew his relationship with the legendary huntress wasn't what one would call good, but he didn't think it was bad.

Or at least not too bad, as she had sneered and mocked him from time to time but then again, so did Gilgamesh and Jalter, so nothing new there.

Given her history and past, Xero didn't want to try and push the issue.

"Berserker made these gels to help speed up your recovery and ensure you wouldn't get an infection from your wounds master. Mash isn't available to do that or rewrap new bandages, so we volunteered to do it."

Okay that was weird.

It wasn't like Mash to miss out on a chance to help him or Gudako, even if she had to do paperwork or anything of the like. But then again, that's probably why she wasn't here then, doing another errand for someone else.

Mash was a sweetheart and a precious bean like that.

"That, she is." Pepper smiled at the mention of the Sheidler. No matter what it was, big or small, the purple eyed girl was ready to help in any way she could.

"Alright."

Sighing, he got up from his laid position and sat on his bed, as the Archer walked behind him and begin to pull off the old bandages from his body slowly. The Berserker version of Atalanta hadn't even looked at him, even with her sideways sneer or snarl present on her pretty face. The duel haired woman was even shuffling on her feet in a rare show of embarrassed or nervousness, he wasn't sure.

The young teen hissed again, when he felt the Archer slowly remove the old bandages and only when did she begin to apply the cream to his wounds, did the Berserker finally speak, "Master i... we need to talk and i need to apologize to you. My behavior and how i've been treating you since my summoning has been unacceptable and deplorable for anyone to act, least of all, a follower of Lady Artemis."

"Berserker, you don't-"

"I'm not finished!"

The Berserker cut off her master, now looking him directly in the eyes, having to bend her knee's so she could be eye level with him,"I wanted to say i am Sorry! I am sorry for always mocking you, i am sorry for thinking you were just some perverted teen but most of all, i am sorry for being such a complete, unreasonable, jerkish person and for being just a plain bitch to you when you've done nothing to earn my ire. But i let my past and pain of what happened to me blind me to what kind of person you are, someone who is more then worthy to be my master. It is when a person is on death's doorstep and when you believe you are going to die, is a person's true nature revealed. But even the threat of death did not stop you from doing everything you could to protect Amicia and Hugo, even if your death meant that humanity had a greater chance of being destroyed. You could have left anytime, but you didn't and even knowing that you could die at any second, you stood by those two till the end. Watching everything you went through, what you had to do in order to protect those two made me realize just how unfair i have been to you and i wish to make amends. Therefore, i would like to offer you my life, my strength, my bow, my body and my loyalty, not just as a Servant but as a follower of Artemis. That is, if you will have me...my master."

Everyone's eyebrows raised to their hairline at hearing the Berserker's words and oath. It honestly sounded like what you expect tp hear from a knight. The way she spoke, her wording and the way she kneeled, reminded everyone of a knight swearing fealty to their lord.

Adam scoffed at this, feeling like he was seeing another Faunus "betraying her race" and all that nonsense.

Asshole.

"Almost sounds like how Kacchan treated me back then."

Izuku idly mused to himself, his hand moving across the notebook, despite his mind wondering to memories of his childhood. One that would make anyone question why the ever-living hell Izuku keep putting up with the blonde for as long as he has.

Or why the people working at the green bean's old school are not only still employed but not rotting in a jail cell.

"Oh Brothers, gag me with a spoon."

But not everyone found the scene touching or were even in awe at the Servant's declaration of loyalty and one of those people, was Vernal. The strong lived, the weak die and serve the strong. The weak were just tools for them to use as they please and if they didn't like it, then they shouldn't have been so weak in the first place.

If they were too weak, then they deserve to die.

That was the law of nature, natural selection.

This is what Vernal was raised to believe in and while that last part might not have been a part of the boss's belief, the belief of the Branwen tribe but the point remained the same. The weak had their place and to hear someone as strong as this Berserker woman submit herself, to chain herself to someone clearly WEAKER then then her, made the brown-haired woman's stomach turn.

Whether she realized it or not, she was spitting on everything the Branwen tribe stood for and by the look of rage on the bull horned Faunus, he was having similar thoughts.

"Maybe more along the lines of one of their own betraying the Cause or whatever other bullshit like that. Perhaps we can use this against him?"

It was food for thought.

Oh...oh, well now, this was unexpected.

Xero was stunned into silence, listening to the Berserker's words, hearing the emotions of regret, shame and even admiration in her voice but the one constant emotion in her voice was sincerity. The Berserker went so far as to get into a kneeling position and bowing her head, to prove just how serious she was about this.

"Just like a knight of old."

Nezu mused, a small smile forming on his face at the sight. Many of the heroes were thinking the same lines as Nezu, as were several others. But some, weren't too happy to hear it.

"Doing just to make up for how she acted? No, that's bullshit, there's more going on here...How the hell does he do it?"

Cinder Fall was one of those people, as she grinded her teeth together, feeling like she missed out on a chance to get a very powerful pawn. She was no fool, no matter how much she threatened, bribed or manipulated, she couldn't gain the same type of loyalty this woman was giving Mazoku.

This woman was for all intents and purposes, giving the sliver-streaked teen a blank check to do with her as he pleased, and she completely trusted him. The only person she seen give this type of loyalty to anyone, was Tyrian to Salem.

But the Faunus was insane and really, truly believed Salem was a goddess, while this woman was very much sane.

As much as she hated to admit, Cinder knew that no one had this kind of loyal to her. Emerald might have loved her, but she still feared her, she she should, and Mercury was just hired help. The same goes for Adam.

Despite his reputation and skills as a leader, Cinder knew the Faunus ruled with an iron fist. The Vale's White Fang may be loyal to Adam, but it wasn't out of love, it was out of fear. Atalanta Alter, the Servants, the soldiers of SHEILD, even the Avengers...there wasn't a speck of fear among them.

There was only love and respect.

It made Cinder want to scoff, in her mind the only way to lead was with fear and power. That was how Salem ruled and even Tyrian, for all his insanity, knew even HE wasn't safe from Salem's wrath if he displeased her enough. That is what Cinder believed:

Fear and power.

"But Mazoku doesn't do that, and he has his followers iron clad loyalty. How?! How does he do it?!"

Mazoku said it himself, those Servants could easily snap him in half like a twig, so why is someone so strong, so loyal to someone far weaker than them? It didn't make any sense! How could they allow themselves to be lowered when they were clearly superior?!

He didn't even need to hear what the woman had to say, as he could feel her emotions through their bond, how much shame she felt when he returned. No, even before then, after he started traveling with the siblings, he begins to feel both Atalanta's shame in her actions before he returned to Chaldea. It was like that annoying tick in the back of your mind, one where you knew it was there but couldn't quite figure out what the hell it was.

Till now.

Now, it all made sense as to what he was feeling.

"Yes, well i would like to but it seems i've left my Scepter in my other pocket dimension."

That was what he wanted to say but seeing the hope and need to make amends in the Berserker's eyes, he decides to hold back his snark.

"Berserker, no Atalanta i never held anything against you for why you acted the way you did. You have every right to be wary of me, i make it a point to read up on every Servant's history that i summon, if only to get an idea of what i'm dealing with, so i wouldn't accidently offend them or not. So, your attitude towards me and how you acted were more than justified."

"You could say that again." Sasha muttered to herself, remembering reading up on the legendary huntress's exploits. Hell, it was Atalanta's legend that inspired the honey eyed woman to take up archery in school, then later on, sniper training.

So, meeting the legendary huntress for the first time was like a dream come true for Sasha and was more than happy to work alongside the living legend in the Battle For New York. That and the fact she got a magical upgrade to her weapons honestly made Sasha feel like she was in one of those fantasy stories she read as a child.

Hell, she might as well be living in one right now.

"B-but master we-"

"Now I'M not finished."

Xero cut off the Archer, causing the duo to fall silent, as Xero slowly sat in a seated position, much to the Archer's worry but he brushed it off, "I won't claim to be the perfect master, never have and never will, but let's be honest who could be the perfect master? I'm honestly doing everything i can to hold everything together and yes, i will be honest, you are acting less like a, well less of a bitch would certainly be helpful. But then again, it would be a hell of a lot easier if Gilgamesh was less of an arrogant asshole and Jalter didn't snap at the littlest thing. Bloody hell, it would be easier if Kiyohime wasn't a yandere and Astolfo and Bradamante weren't such idiots but then again when has it ever been easy. If there is one thing, I've learned about being a master, it's that you have to accept everything about the Servant you summon, flaws and all. So, what i am trying to say is that i understand why you did it and if this is how you want to do this, then i will accept your loyalty, huntress of Artemis, Atalanta the Huntress."

The Berserker and Archer smiled, as the Alter kept her head bowed before their shared master.

"You won't regret it my master. But there is one thing i need you to do for."

"What is it?"

"I... I need you to be the one that controls my anger and rage. I fear i will only end up hurting those i intend to protect, so i need you to be the one that holds the chain to my hate, to take control of me when i lose myself."

"And that's the end of it. As you can see, the huntress had given herself completely to my young friend of her own free will. Whether you believe it or not, is up to you but it shall not change anything. But seeing as some of you simply REFUSE to see it, you'll have to go. NOW." With a snap of his fingers, the Curator sent Adam, his troops and shockingly enough, Jacques away as well. This got many eyebrows raised, as many expected the older man to send ALL the White Fang away but most certainly not Jacques too.

Why not Sienna Khan or even Whitely?

As if reading their minds, which he didn't as the Curator was good at reading people, answered their unasked questions, "Unlike you Miss Khan, Mr. Schnee, Adam, his followers and Jacques would no doubt attempt to cause discord amongst you all, preventing the very war we're trying to avoid. While i had hope that perhaps, this viewing would discourage Mr. Taurus from trying anything foolish, i was wrong. It appears that THIS version of Mr. Taurus is beyond saving, all that is left is a Grimm in Faunus skin. He is as Miss Belladonna would say, the embodiment of 'spite'. Had someone interfered years ago, maybe offered him genuine help, he could have been turned off the destruction path he is dead set on following but there is little point in wondering. He has chosen his path and must now pay the consequences of said actions. As for you Mr. Schnee, you are still young and still have a chance to escape the shadow of your father's sins, i suggest you take it young man, learn what your father would not and grow into a better man than him. As for you, Seinna Khan, i suggest you deal with him and his followers quickly. If you don't, a civil war will erupt, destroying everything Ghira and you have attempted to build. It won't just be the White Fang or humans that suffer, it will be your fellow Faunus as well, namely those that either don't wish to fight or simply because he can."

"I understand." The dark-skinned woman sighed, as she placed her head in her hands, "I knew he was growing more and more unstable, but to actually attack our own people? How could i not see it? I should have done more."

"What could you have done Seinna?" Kali asked, despite stealing the organization she and her husband created, that didn't stop them from being friends. Even if for the first few years, that 'friendship' was as cold as ice, "That boy is good at hiding his true intentions and try as we might, many of our own people have been consumed by hate, the same way he has."

"Hate breeds hate." Gudako said simply, getting both women to look at her, "It's no one's fault but people's own stupidity and arrogance in thinking they can do whatever they want to people, before someone snaps. Even if a lot of hate is because of the SDC, even if there are laws that are supposed to protect your people from discrimination, it won't change the fact people will hate someone else for whatever petty reasons they are. Whether they are Faunus, gay, black, Jewish, alien, or even magical, so long as there is someone different in the world, someone else will hate them for it and in some extreme cases, try to kill them for simply being born that way."

"You speak from experience?"

The redhead nodded at the large form of Blake's father, "I do. While your world has history of hate against Faunus, we've had entire world wars fought over religion and a person's skin color. Hell, more than a couple of battles and massacres, have happened because we Magus revealed ourselves. Whether it was for selfishness or selflessness, its typical ends in bloodshed but we're still here, we're still pushing to make a better world for our people. In fact, besides the Magus, mutants are people that you would get along with just fine. Make no mistake, what you Faunus go through, even today is bad but honestly, it could be a hell of a lot worse. Your history with the humans might be bad but your much better off than us. Cause as far as i know, you've guys never had to deal with a Hitler or the Nazi types before, have you or Witch Hunters?"

"Hitler?" Ilia looked confused, as did a good number of the Remnant natives, as Earth's natives sighed. As bad a Remnant was, with the Grimm and Salem, they were the lucky ones in not having two entire world wars and the Nazi's running around. The fact they apparently didn't have their own version of the man, made them very lucky indeed.

"Let me put it this way, the way Adam is acting and his beliefs, he's well on his way to becoming Remnant's version of Hitlar. He-"

"You know what, let's just get back to the video." Olga said, cutting off Gudako as she did not want to go further down the rabbit hole that was the very for real possibility that the bull horned man may very well become another Adolf Hitler or at least, Remnant's version of the evil man. From the reports they had 'acquired' (IE stole from the Atlas network) the redhead was coming very come to crossing the threshold of being a terriost to a genocide manic.

Something that needed to be nipped in the bud before it was too late and it spiraled out of control, they already had enough problems as it was.

That and she did not want them to pry further into their history and remember the time her husband was sent to an alternative world, where the Nazi's actually won the war.

Infinite number of realities, infinite number of possibilities.

It was better that they don't mention that, nor the reality where Hitler wasn't a genocide manic and actually found the cure for cancer. More than likely, as her master would say, in the immortal words of Rick Sanchez:

Don't think about it

Even if a certain cat Faunus wanted nothing more than to speak out, she bites her tongue, knowing it would lead her nowhere. While she wanted to protest, to fight for her kind's equality, it was mostly the right to choose what they want to do. No matter what Blake thought, the Berserker and Archer made their choice to be 'chained' to their human master, no matter how much it basically spit on all the efforts the Faunus sacrificed.

Cause that's what she was doing, intentionally or unintentionally, that woman was making the biggest insult to their kind by being a willingly pet to a HUMAN! Did all the blood, death, sweat and tears they shed in order to gain equality mean nothing to her?!

Did all the Faunus that die in the Schnee mines because of Jacques cutting everything down to the barest minimal, allowing them to be buried and forgotten in the snow of Atlas mean nothing to her?!

Did Ilia's parents dying in the mines because of the collapsing mines mean nothing to her?!

Did Adam suffering and falling into madness, all for the cause of their people mean nothing to her?!

Did all the years, the FIRST years of her own LIFE she spent trying to change the statues que mean NOTHING AT ALL?!

DID ALL INNOCENT THE FAUNUS TODAY, STILL SUFFERING UNDER ALL THE RACISIM MEAN NOTHING?!

WHAT THE WHITE FANG DID, WHAT SHE DID FOR YEARS TO ACHIEVE THEIR IDEAL DREAM WAS WRONG AND IT'S CLEARLY OKAY FOR HUMANS TO ATTACK FAUNAS FOR NO OTHER REASON THEN THEY CAN BUT IF FAUNUS DEFEND THEMSELVES, EVERYONE CRACKS DOWN ON THEM!

WAS IT ALL HER BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS AND SUFFERING MEAN NOTHING?!

IT WASN'T FAIR!

Oh, Brothers forbid if a FAUNAS did half the things Mazoku did, they'd be demonized and hunted down like an animal by everyone alive but if a HUMAN does all this, it's all okay. It didn't matter cause a HUMAN did it, because everyone believed humans were better than Faunus. Cause Faunus were just animals in their eyes and not even worth a second thought.

Even if what Adam was doing was wrong and it was her responsibility to take him down, THAT DIDN'T MEAN SHE WOULD ALLOW THE MISTREATMENT OF FAUNUS TO GO UNHEARD!

STARTING WITH THOSE FAUNUS MAZOKU CLEARLY ENSLAVED!

"Even if mom and dad don't say it out loud, i know their just as bothered as i am, this can't stand what has become of her but what can i do? It's clear she won't listen to me, too brainwashed and blinded by her own loyalty to him to see the evil clearly. Not to mention this knight oath sounds like its serious thing and she won't break it on a whim. If it's the type of oath I read in those books, then they'll die before they dare break their oath."

But maybe they can alter it somehow, surely Atalanta can't be happy serving a human, right? Not after all the injustice their kind has faced, Blake would just have to remind her of that.

Maybe then, they could truly find a way to gain true equality.

"Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, Berserker. These are the seven main classes of Servant and in a normal Holy Grail war, only these types of Servants could be summoned."

Wiz said, as Boomstick cut in with a cheeky grin, "In a normal Holy Grail war that is, as the Grand Order was anything BUT normal. You see, there are other class of Servants known as Extra class Servants. They go by the following: Ruler, Avenger, Moon Cancer, Sheidler, Alter Ego, Foreigner and Pretender."

"Moon Cancer? Like the one that BB woman is?" The winged hero asked the bunny one, as Rumi shrugged.

"Probably. Still think it's a wired name, what does Moon Cancer even mean?"

"Uh, Boomstick, you're forgetting three class?"

"Really? Are Beasts class Servants even considered a class Servant and what's the other two?"

Boomstick asked, confused, as Wiz answered, "Despite their unique statues, they are still Servants. As for the second one, while not technically a class on its own, there is another type of Servant: The Alter Servants and Counter Guardians. Oh, and Pseudo-Servants as well, though i don't really think they can be considered a type of Servant, but they are most certainly unique."

"Alter? Like Jalter?" The French ambassador wondered out loud, as his fellow ambassadors looked just as confused as him.

"Ah, well those Servants don't technically have a class, as they can appear from any type of class. Like that last one, Counter Guardians, appear in two separate classes: Assassin and Archer. Namely the son and father duo: Shirou Emyia of the Archer class and the Magus Killer, Kiritsugu Emyia of the Assassin class."

The screen showed the duo, allowing everyone to see the clear resemblance between the duo, as Wiz pushed on, "Now, these Counter Guardians aren't like normal Heroic Spirits, as they are a part of the Counter Force: A safety device formed by a World to defend itself against extinction and is synonymous with the World it represents. The concept of Counter Force is central to the world, and there are two types: Gaia and Alaya. Gaia is the will of the Earth, the planet's intrinsic wish to survive and prosper. Alaya, on the other hand, is the collective unconscious will of mankind to avoid extinction. As humans are creatures of Earth, Alaya was a component of Gaia. However, as mankind began to develop independent from nature, it became independent. With this divergence, Alaya is no longer aligned with Gaia and potential conflict can being called "the will of the planet/mankind", the Counter Forces bear no emotions. They are described as passive spirals of energy that respond to threats of planet destruction or human extinction. The Counter Forces are always active, constantly steering mankind and the planet away from potential danger. Usually, the Counter Forces act indirectly, similar to how a Ruler class Servant acts as a sort of judge for the Holy Grail War."

"I'm guessing this 'Alaya' person is somehow connected to the Throne of Heroes?" Fury asked, as Gudako nodded, as Olga began to explain.

"Indeed. Even though we don't know much about her for certain, what we have gathered is that Alaya is the one that creates the Servants or at the very least, is the gate keeper of sorts to entering the Throne of Heroes. To be honest, we don't know what she truly is, but we do know is that she is connected to the Throne and the Holy Grail in some way we don't know or understand. At least, not fully."

"Is she dangerous?" Shockingly enough, it was Steve who asked this. The super soldier was known to give everyone the benefit of a doubt but that didn't mean he shied away from asking the hard questions, as the white-haired woman paused for a second before answering.

"Dangerous to humanity? Not exactly, as she and Gaia need to keep humanity going, cause if we go, they go. But that doesn't mean she's on our side either, as we have learned from the memories of Avenger Xero, she is dangerous, manipulative and doesn't care for anything or anyone. She needs to keep humanity alive but only just."

"What the hell does that mean?"

Olga sighed at Enji, "What it means, is that if humanity has to limp along, barely alive but alive then that's good enough for her. Even if millions are killed, she wouldn't bat an eyelash, so long as humanity lives on."

"Solange die Menschheit weiterlebt, huh?"

So long as humanity lives on, huh

The German ambassador spoke in his native tongue, all but spitting it out but not at Olga. The woman said nothing, as Gudako spoke, "That's just how she is. What can you do?"

"So, if I'm understanding this right, these Counter Guardians are basically enforcers, the people who clean up the shit we humans make, right?" Levi asked, as Gudako nodded.

"That and eliminating any and all threats to humanity. Seeing as humanity itself was destroyed by the Demon God Pillars, the Counter Force had no choice but to allow me and Oni-chan to summon their enforcers. Emyia, even though he is a Counter Guardian, kept his original personality unlike most. As for his father, he's...sigh, let's just say he is complicated, and he pretty much became emotionless BEFORE he became a Servant. But before that, he was the Magus Killer. Killing those that went too far with their craft and other assholes that hurt others just because they can, like you." Gudako sent that last part to Raven, who growled at the redhead.

"Whatever brat. If they were strong-"

"Blah, blah, blah, blah." The redhead mocked, making the 'blah, blah' Montion with her hand, "Save if for someone who cares. But you know, if you really were strong, you'd be picking fights with stronger people like the Mistral huntsman or even Atlas military for their goodies, or even other bandit tribes so you be the only one that can threaten other villages and not preying on people who barely know how to use a gun. That's what daddy did when he realized people had stolen his weapons. He may hit like a girl, but he did the smart thing and used his strengths to cover his weakness by building the Iron Man suit. Oh! That's right, that is the SMART thing to do and people like you are just too dumb to do it. Then again, you barely have two brain cells to rub together to begin with, so i suppose it's no surprise there."

She ended with a mocking voice and grin, as Raven and her tribesman damn near bolted towards her, ready to tear her throat out for daring to say they were weak. They were the Branwen tribe! No one was stronger than them!

NOBODY!

Raven was ready to throw all caution to the wind, why shouldn't she? Her plans were in ruins, Ozpin knew, hell everyone that could threaten her now knew her dirty secret and no doubt Salem would know soon enough that she was the Spring Maiden. Fine, whatever she would deal with them all in time but the fact they were all mocking her, despite being one of the strongest beings on the planet was NOT okay.

These fools dared to mock her?!

HER!

Raven Branwen, the Bandit Queen and Spring Maiden, she would not stand for it!

"Fuck it! I'll-"

POP

Without warning, Raven, who was preparing to draw upon her magic,vanished along with all her followers, as the Curator held a dull look on his face, but it was clear to everyone, he was not happy as he held up one hand in a clenched fist.

"Shall we continue?"

He asked, as he wiped the imagery dust of his vest, as no one dared speak a word. Everyone knew that the here, the Curator's word was law, and it was only now doing they get a glimpse to see what happens to those that dare try to break his rules.

"He's scary." Ochako whispered to her two best friends, as the duo nodded, even if Tenya personally believed Gudako was right to say what she said. Sure, not in the same wording but the fact remained, attacking those clearly weaker than you and had no idea how to fight didn't make you strong.

It only made you a villain and a bully.

"Just like the Hero Killer."

The blue haired teen clenched his fist, feeling anger flash through his veins before he pushed it down. None of these people earned his wrath and he was not a villain that preyed upon those that couldn't defend themselves.

No way.

"Raven...where you are always this bad or has your fear of Salem wrapped you so much?"

Tai, who had been very quiet and watching everything happening could only sigh sadly at seeing his ex-wife get zapped away. Seriously, where was the fesity, strong girl, who knew no fear, whom he fell in love with at Beacon?

Was it all just a lie, a facade?

Was the Raven they knew back in their Beacon days the true Raven or was this twisted, fearful, spiteful woman the real Raven? Did her own fears twist her to such a point, or did she do most of the wrapping herself?

Tai didn't know and honestly, he couldn't find it in himself to really care anymore.

She made her choice, she went back to a life of a bandit, and he moved on with the true love of his life, Summer and their two beautiful daughters. We all make our own choices, and they would have to face the consequences.

"Try as you might Raven, you can't just run away from the consequences, not this time."

"Yeah, well that's not confusing at all. Moving on, Wiz what the hell are Ruler's? Are they those wooden things i used in third grade to measure things with?"

"Not quite Boomstick. The Servants of the Ruler class are a non-standard Servant Class brought forth for the purpose of presiding over Holy Grail Wars. The Fuyuki Grail utilizes its own logic to sense when actions are encroaching upon its authority, and regardless of other mediators like those from the Church, it brings forth Ruler to protect the concept of the Holy Grail War itself. In the case of the reserve system of the Greater Grail being activated in the Great Holy Grail War, Ruler takes neither side of the battle, but only acts in the interest of the Grail. The Ruler-class Servants are given Command Spells for the other Servants. A Ruler is also summoned to preserve the laws of Heroic Spirits to ensure they won't be violated, such as the law of "the dead not leading the living", touted as the greatest law of Heroic Spirits, and to maintain human history by preserving the illusion behind the Age of Gods so that people do not know about the truth behind it. The role of a Ruler is to arbitrate the truth and adjudicate all things in order to maintain human history. The criteria to be summoned for the Ruler Class is impartiality and possessing no desire for the Holy Grail. Those who qualify are most often Saints, and any Ruler summoned to preside over a Holy Grail will be a Saint under normal conditions. Within other systems like the FATE System, others who meet the criteria can be summoned."

"In other words, Rulers are basically overseers of the Holy Grail War, not only to protect the humans not involved but to ensure the summoned Servants don't try to pull a fast one. Some Servants have tried in the past and thanks to their statues as a Ruler, they have absolute authority over the other Servants and thus, making them ideal to stopping these rampaging Servants. The prefect embodiment of a Ruler class Servant is none other than old Reep's very first partner: Jeanne D'Arc!"

The screen changed, to show the beautiful, buxom blonde with a bright, innocent smile in her face as she proudly held her flag up in her hands, a sign of victory.

"Hey Jauney, is she one of your sisters? She's got the same shade of blonde and last name as your family."

Nora asked, seeing the striking resemblance between her leader and Xero's first Servant, as Jaune started wide eyed at the woman on screen. Ren hummed, as Nora brought up a very good point, "There is a strong resemblance between the two of you Jaune. Do you think there might be a connection between your family and this Jeanne?"

"I-i don't know. She looks like she could be one of us but i don't, i don't think...she's not but...i think i remember my dad telling me one of our anesctors was actually named Jeanne D'Arc, one of the first Arc's in fact. I, Miss Gudako, is it-"

"Possible that our Jeanne is possibility related to your family the same way Ruby is actually kin to Oni-chan? Yes, it is very possible Jaune."

Gudako answered, blowing Jaune's mind at the possibility of having family from an entirely different world. Though that didn't stop Ruby from hugging Jaune, claiming they were now "Extended family" as Xero was her cousin and now that he could possibly be related to one of his Servants, that made him family as well.

"Vomit boy as family huh?"

Yang mused to herself with a small smile, before nodding to herself, "Meh, why not? He's already claimed the clumsy but dependable brother role anyway."

It was a fun food for thought.

"Interestingly enough, what could be considered the exact opposite of the Ruler class Servants is the Avenger class Servants. Avenger is a class founded on vengeance, born from powerful resentment that does not fade even after death. Rather than revenge, the primary characteristic behind them is avenging. Angra Mainyu says there are two types of Avengers. Those who 'scorn love' like Angra Mainyu are described with 'Those born from hatred speak of love... and they would show compassion after experiencing cruelty.' Those who "burn with pure hatred" like Edmond Dantès are described with "Those born from love speak of hatred. Those who experienced happiness meet their end through betrayal." The common point between the two types is an attachment to humans. Being fixated on humans causes them to be unable to evolve beyond humans, so Angra Mainyu describes their hatred as "an endless cycle of what goes around comes around. In fact, Angra Mainyu once stated that he lacks any particular grudges against others, but many have grudges against him. For Gorgon, she's uncertain of why she is an Avenger, feeling desire for revenge burning within her Saint Graph, but unable to tell what she hates. She feels the need to kill and devour all living things due to the infuriating thoughts stemming from that unknown target of hatred. Upon seeing her other self in a dream, she wonders if it's telling her to seek revenge against humans and the very world that led to her downfall."

"Unless your Avenger Xero, as he knew who to hate but sadly the present Xero was the one to get a full force of ALL the hatred he felt in his heart, when he attacked Chaldea. Even if he was attempting to stop the resuscitation of humanity, it wasn't actually out of hatred for humanity but rather, trying to stop his younger self from going down the same path he went down. Ironically, he introduced his younger self to a whole new level of pain he never knew existed, but he was defeated and despite that, Avenger Xero got the last laugh, as present Xero was able to kill all those who had betrayed him. But one prefect example of an Avenger is the Altered version of Jeanne D'Arc known as Jeanne D'Alter. Seriously, seeing her makes me think that someone quite literally sucked all the hate out of Jeanne and stuck it into Jalter's body, seeing as how nice she is."

The screen changed slightly, as the background only changed completely, as Jeanne went under a rapider transformation. Her blonde hair turning sliver, her blue eyes changing into a hellish yellow with silts pupils, her skin taking an inhuman pale and her clothing darkener from her normally blue outfit, as her gentle smile became more vicious, dangerous. Her smile becoming toothy and sharp, as she took on a more aggressive stance, rather than defensive one.

"So, if I'm understanding this right, Avengers are basically people who have been wrong and betrayed by those they trusted or loved?" Fury asked, trying to understand what he just heard, as Gudako thought for a second, trying to figure out how to put it before she spoke.

"Yes...It's hard to explain but the best why i can describe it is how Jeanne originally died. If you recall, Jeanne D'Arc or Joan of Arc as she was known back then, was accused of treason, heresy, witchcraft, basically anything they could use to discredit her. The bottom line is that despite everything she did for them, all the blood, sweat, tears, years and friends she lost in defense of the people of her land, her leaders turned on her. For no better reason then they could and the fact she became more popular than them. They didn't like that and decide to get rid of her before she could become a threat to their power...regardless of the fact that she sacrificed a lot to keep them safe." Her frown deepened, as she glared at the world leaders, "THAT is the crux of what makes an Avenger an Avenger. The anger, the hate, the RAGE, the AGONY they feel is so potent, so strong it can destroy the world if it is left unchecked. Hell, you all seen what happened to Avenger Xero in the future, what leads to Oni-chan mistrusting anyone and everyone so greatly. Your actions, your fear of his power is what leads him to becoming an Avenger in the first place. Avengers are beings built upon their hatred and rage towards those who had wrong them and will go to any length they need to, to see their vengeance accomplished. Oni-chan and i learned that the hard way, when we went on our first official mission for Chaldea to Orleans against Jalter, funny enough, that was our first encounter with an Avenger class Servant. Let this be a warning to you all, even if you by some chances are able to kill Oni-chan, don't think that will kill him for good. The last time people tried, after killing off his entire family i might add, it almost led to the end of the world. There are no ifs or buts about it, you betray him, you die. You don't, well, then everything is good. Really, i for one do not understand what is so hard in just being a decent human being, it's so simple! Don't be a jackass, if you fear Oni-chan will turn on you, then you're as dumber than a box of rocks, its...it's THAT simple! So, for the love of God and the goddess, don't be stupid, moronic, boneheaded idiots that let their pride override their good sense. Traitors and betrayers always get what they deserve, no matter who they are, remember that before you do something beyond stupid."

The redhead spat the last part the world leaders, namely ones like senator Kelly and Stryker, a dark smile. It didn't take a genius to figure out why, even if they somehow were able to kill Xero, it wouldn't as there was a chance he would simply come back as a Servant.

A powerful being full of hate and rage in his heart with enough power to destroy the world.

"That is of course, not including the fact Oni-chan's Servants would probably do it in his stead."

There was a reason why Servants were only summoned during a Holy Grail War, why it only lasted a month at most and one of the reasons why summoning more than one Servant per person was all but unheard of, but it wasn't her place to explain. Even if that last one was mostly due to the fact it takes a massive amount of magical energy to summon a Servant, that wasn't including powering the Servant in battle, but she ultimately said nothing. Not when the Wiz and Boomstick would more than likely explain the dangerous of summoning a Servant.

Let alone an army of Servants.

It would be a million times easier for them to explain it and for her, not having to explain things.

"Quick question, if Xero is able to become a Servant cause he's a modern-day hero, does that apply to the rest of the Avengers?"

Sam asked, as Gudako nodded before she pointed at to Steve, "Sheidler." No doubt because he used a shield, so that was a no brainer. Her finger then slid to Clint, "Archer." The blonde-haired man chuckled, not at all surprised as Natasha was next, "Assassin." The older redhead snorted. Figures. Next was Banner, "Berserker." Deep in his mind, Bruce could feel the Hulk grunting in approval at his class designation. Gudako then pointed towards Storm, "Caster." The dark-skinned mutant thought for a second before nodding, understanding how her mutation could be considered 'magic' to some. She was seen as a goddess in Africa after all.

Gudako paused for a minute before speaking, "I suppose Thor could be considered a Lancer class, seeing as to be qualified as a Lancer is to be skilled with a mild range weapon, maybe Remy too. The fact he's a god doesn't mean much, as Oni-chan has a Goddess as a Lancer class Servant."

She was of course speaking of Ereshkigal, but they didn't need to know that.

"What about me kiddo?"

Tony asked, as his adopted daughter smiled, "Rider."

"Rider?"

"Riders are known to be experts of the mount be it flesh or metal and seeing as the Iron Man suit is both your weapon and a method of transportation, you are a Rider. Lancer, Saber, Archer and Caster are all out seeing as you can't use magic, not to mention i highly doubt you ever picked up a sword, spear or bow in your life."

Tony frowned but nodded in understanding but had to ask, "So why not Berserker or Assassin? Hell, why not Sheidler or Ruler for that matter?"

"I know you can be impulsive daddy, but you've never really, truly lost it and i highly doubt you would willingly trade your sanity for power." He wouldn't, as he very much liked being sane thank you very much. "That also rules out Avenger as well, seeing as you have to be beyond vengeful and have the type of hatred that can destroy the world, which you don't."

"Fair but what about Ruler class?"

The redhead paused again, thinking it over before saying, "No and not because i don't think you'd fit in Ruler class, it's just that there a very few Rulers around, let alone to summon. I might but wrong and Sam could be considered a Rider seeing as his code-name is Falcon as that's sort of the same thing. Plus, Logan could be considered a Saber class Servant due to his metal claws or even Berserker, due to his, well, animalistic nature when he gets angry but that's splitting hairs. Anyway, let's get back to the video, cause i'm certain the next Servant class is going to scare the ever-living shit out of you." Gudako grinned at that last part.

"A question if i may Ms. Stark but just to be clear, if Lord Mazoku WERE to be killed by his allies, he WILL come back in Servant form for vengeance?" One of the visiting ambassadors, the French one no less, a woman in her late sixties with graying hair tied in a bun with a no-nonsense tone of voice asked, "If so, how would that be possible? I merely curious but wouldn't have people who have been betrayed come back AFTER their deaths?"

"Well Miss French ambassador, for one they probably weren't well known legends. To become a Servant, the first step is to basically be a legend, be it good or evil, you have to be Linken to a legend like Gilgamesh, the world's first hero. You cannot deny that Oni-chan is indeed a legend, his name known all over the world as the 'Grimm Reaper'. With me so far?"

"Yes."

Gudako then spread her arms out, as if to present something to everyone, "In this world, being a modern day hero is all but impossible, at least, to get to the height of legendary statues one would need to meet the requirements to become a Servant, let alone catch Alaya's eye but since Oni-chan has not only summoned so many Servants, saved the world several times AND has all but limitless potential, she wants him. Bad. Avenger Xero is a very unique and very powerful Servant, one that can easily be classified as a Top Servant. The fact he won the Holy Grail War on the Moon only cemented Alaya's wanting of his Heroic Spirit self, so if getting him means she has to let him kill off more than half of humanity, it is a price she will pay gladly. All though..." Here, Gudako normally smile darkened, as flames licked at the ends of her now long hair, "You COULD just kill Oni-chan and see what happens. I'll admit that you all have no reason to believe me and it's all hearsay from me, from what i believe, so knock yourselves out if you're feeling lucky. But remember, what we aren't mutants and it's not advanced tech that allows us to summon Servants, it's magic. Do you really want to take this gambit?"

Yeah, no.

Hell fucking no.

The French ambassador didn't know about the rest of the world but there was no way in hell she was touching that subject with a twenty-foot pole. If it were anything else other than magic, then maybe she would have taken her chance but it's magic, so unpredictability is expected and not worth the potential nuke bomb going off it it backfired on them.

The video started again, showing a new Servant class, as Wiz spoke.

"The next class Servant is probably one of the most dangerous class Servants, due to the nature of their creation: The Foreigner."

Roman titled his head in confusion, "Foreigner? That doesn't sound intimidating."

"Just like looks can be deceiving, so can names." Clover spoke wisely, seeing as his life in the Atlas military have taught him that just because someone either looks wired or have an odd name, means nothing in terms of ability and skill. Hell, Roman should look at his partner to know that for a fact.

"Truth be told we don't know much about Foreigner's, as it is stated in the records of Chaldea: Chaldea Security Organization has a limited understanding of the class but defines it as a class for 'beings who overturn the base laws of our world.' They are said to be individuals who have 'descended from superstition,' those who have kept their "purity in the heart of madness' or who are 'swallowed by madness but then turn around and consume the madness in turn.' Typically not Heroic Spirits, Foreigners are similar enough in nature to be classified in that way for the purposes of Chaldea. As foreign beings from outside of the world, they are typically bonded with an Outer God, the process of creating one being known as a complex process with a low chance of success. For Abigail Williams and Katsushika Hokusai, the plan of Demon God Raum was necessary to create the conditions under which the Outer Gods could come into contact with their hosts."

"Wait a second, don't you and Xero have those two summoned?" Pepper quickled asked her adopted daughter as she nodded.

"Hold up for a second mom, there's more."

"While the normal qualification for the class is to be a 'receptacle of an Outer God,' it is possible for other circumstances allow for manifestation in the class. For Voyager who normally belongs to the Voyager class, his status as an emissary to be sent into space qualifies him for the class. Koyanskaya of Darkness gains the class as the byproduct of the Authority connected to the region of space from which the meteor that caused the birth of Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya originated. Due to the possession of the Protection from the Farthest Ends, the 'extreme point at the exact opposite position of the Outer Universe,' Mysterious Heroine XX shifts into the Class."

The screen then did a play by play of both Abigial and XX, in her third stage.

"What Wiz is trying to say, is that Foreigners are Servants but not normal Servants, even by Holy Grail Standards and are confusing as hell. To shorter things up, here's the short version of what we DO know: Foreigners are similar to Saints imbued with Divinity to manifest a miracle, instead becoming appropriate vessels for "crystallized evil." Rather than have their mind burn out, BB describes the process by saying, "Isn't it human nature to try to push oneself beyond logic?" The Outer Gods seek to use their hosts as a means of fully descending on the world as they cannot manifest in it directly due to their alien natures, but the host can instead control and wield a part of that power for themselves. Kinda like an evil spirit attempting to control a normal person to do evil deeds, like in those old horror movies or better yet, when Freddy Kurger takes over people to kill more people. Or, just horrible with money, as Xero's had to deal with XX's money troubles and her horrible misuse of it."

"But it should be noted that both Xero and Gudako have a pretty good handle on their Foreigner's. Katsushika turned out to be a very nice girl, willingly to work with Gudako and Abigial is a sweet girl that simply wants to help her master however she can."

"But it should be noted Wiz, that her wanting to help her master and love for him, has caused Abby to wreck havoc on his mind, in an effort to 'Protect him'. She honestly wanted to keep her master safe and when she saw how humanity would basically give said master a final 'screw you' despite all he did for them and their past actions against those with magic, she...did not like that too much."

"Wreak havoc on his mind? What does he mean Gudako, Olga?" Pepper asked, worry clearly viable on her face, as everyone else wordless looked to Gudako, as she sighed, rubbing her forehead, while Olga thankfully took over for her.

"Just know that Foreigners are dangerous, unique Servants and we still know little about them. Master and Gudako actually had to fight Abby during the time of the Witch Trails in Salem Massachusetts, i myself don't know what happened and neither master nor Gudako will speak about what went down."

"Cause it's better that way." The redhead said simply, not willingly to speak further on the subject and everybody knew it too. Several wanted to question the girl, learn more about what this "Foreigner" class Servant could do but the look on her face told everyone, she wouldn't budge. Even if the fearful looks on certain people faces clearly wanted to question her more on the subject, they knew better then to try, as Wiz started up again.

That wasn't including the fact Abby had threatened to make BB 'cease to exist' is she did something to intinetal hurt her Oni-chan. Nope, no reason for them to know that.

"Next up is confusing class but easier to understand then the previous class, Alter Ego. These types of Servants are an existence taken out of or separated from a certain Spirit Origin and altered and are is a non-standard Extra Servant Class comprised of beings that are split off from another. Differing from Alter Servants that are an alternate side or interpretation of a Heroic Spirit, Alter Egos are a phenomenon where "one persona of that Heroic Spirit gains independence as a separate entity"; essentially, they are personifications of the original being's emotions, wishes, or personality traits that have developed minds of their own. Artoria Pendragon is the same person as Artoria Pendragon Alter, while BB and Passionlip are unique individuals. The term Alter Ego is not limited to a Servant class, but also the Servant's very state of being. It's possible for an Alter Ego to be of another Servant class while still being an Alter Ego. Both the Sakura Five and the Tamamo Nine are comprised of Alter Egos."

The screen changed, to show Okita Alter in her first form.

"An example is Okita Alter, who was a blank slate in mind but with the strength, skill and body of a killing machine. It speaks a lot of Xero's character that he didn't do anything that could have molded the woman into a prefect Servant for him. The way she was summoned, Otika Alter was prefect for someone looking to make an indoor slave or loyal bodyguard, but Xero didn't try to manipulate in anyway. Instead, he gave her the chance to learn and grow into the person SHE wanted to be. He gave her all the information she needed to know in order to make her own choices and decide on who she wanted to become. Man, some people might think Xero's a complete asshole and bastard, but you got to give him props for resisting any temptations to influnce her."

"Now, what Boomstick means, is that Okita Alter is like an impressable kid, one that trusts very easy and will believe just about anything you tell her. At least, she originally was but she's grown out of that phase."

"He's right, that is tempting." Erwin felt a shiver run up his spine at the thought of some more dangerous, evil people getting their hands on a powerful Servant like Otika Alter and a moldable one at that. Some of these people were in this very room and numero uno being Cinder, who was gritting her teeth, clenching her fist in angry.

No doubt she was seething at the missed chance to gain a powerful follower like the Alter Ego Servant.

"If that's true, i shuddered to think of what could have happened if HYDRA or god forbid the Cult figured out a way to summon ANY of these Servants like Okita Alter. Thankfully Xero-chan and Gudako are the ones that have summoned the majorated of them, which means more powerful people on our side. So many living legends in one place, each one unique and powerful in one way or another that makes us humans look weak is so...exciting!"

Even if the thought should have scared her to death, Hange only felt a shiver of delight run up her spine at the thought. Seeing as she had personal met quite a few of them, it originally shocked her to see how human they all were.

Sure, there were some who weren't human to being with like the Oni but there were some aspects of their personalities that strike her as very humanoid. Like Ibaraki's love of hard candy, Shuten's love for alcohol and Tomoe's love of video games. Hell, Vlad, despite being revered as an unfeeling monster throughout history, was a laid back, philosophical man off the battlefield with a love of reading and knitting of all things.

The last one had Hange clutching her stomach laughing to the point of tears.

But on the bright side, she got a nice scarf out of it, the man was good!

The knights of the round table like Gawain and Tristan loved to play card games, all the versions of Cu liked to hunt or fish, Gilgamesh like to play chess with Xero-chan and Emyia was one hell of a cook too, hell even Charlie loved to read up on legends of old. Even if the red Archer said he wasn't an expert, Hange begged to differ, that man knew his way around the kitchen.

He'd make a great wife someday, that's for certain.

As powerful as they were, those Servants were just like anyone else having their own likes, dislikes, dreams, wants, needs and desires. One could try to argue they weren't human, which to a certain level they aren't but that was physically for the most part. Mentally however...it was a completely different story.

Just as she has seen some Servants act so human, others act very inhumanly, like Gudako's "Gramps" the first Hassan or The Old Man on the Mountain. If not for the fact he looks like a walking set of armor alite with unholy fire, then it's the manner he conducts himself and the sheer pressure his presence gives everyone.

That wasn't including Gorgon of the Mech-Liz's either.

"Next up is the rare class Servant that has even fewer Servants then Avengers and Ruler classes, the Moon Cancer class Servant."

"Which is held by one of Xero's most trouble making Servants, BB." Boomstick cut in over Wiz with another cheeky comment, as Wiz sighed again in annoyance.

"Yeah. Anyway, according to Type Moon, the Moon Cancer class Servants are the the Irregular who threatens the world of the moon and is a nonstandard class, Servant. MoonCancer is a Class originally developed by BB, a figure of the Moon Cell. The very act of BB being an intermediary to form a connection between Ganesha and Jinako Carigiri as a Pseudo-Servant grants the resulting Servant the MoonCancer class. The key figures on the three versions of the tarot card for the class are BB, Kiara Sessyoin, and Arcueid Brunestud. Kiara says that both she and BB 'scarred the moon' during the Moon Holy Grail War, and Kiara says her personal qualifications must be due to the happenings in the War. She describes it as a very rare Servant class. It is currently unknown why Arcueid manifested in this class. As the origin of the Class, BB can act as a MoonCancer Stabilizer to look over MoonCancer Saint Graphs."

Everyone waited for a second, waiting for the explanation to go on but nothing happened, as Levi asked the question on everyone's minds, "That's it? That's all there is?"

Gudako shrugged helplessly, "Sorry but Moon Cancer Servants are very confusing. But what we do know is that BB is an Advanced AI originating from the Advanced AI modeled after Sakura Matou and the creator and Master of the Sakura Five in the Sakura Labyrinth. Which is pretty bad, as Sakura, while one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, is one of the most broken too. I won't say what happened, since it's not my place to say but BB is capable of taking over EVERY digital item in the world without fail. Really, she could pull a Skynet is she wanted too, so if any of you are thinking of betraying Oni-chan, here's another reason to why that's a terrible idea, cause as much as BB likes to say otherwise, she does love Oni-chan. Without him here to retrain her, BB would run amok if something happened to him because of someone's need for control."

"And believe me, it would be quite easy for me to do so, so don't give me or senpai a reason to do it. This isn't a fight you want; you aren't going to win, no matter what you do. Even if you DO kill senpai, that will just remove all restrain his dear Servants have and unleash their own hell on Earth."

BB's cheeky voice rang out, as those that were not so subtle threatened stayed quiet, slowly understanding just how dangerous Xero and his allies truly were. Some were more worried than others, namely those from Atlas and those that planned to use machines to combat the "Mutant Threat" but were smart enough to keep it to themselves.

"Half of our military is mechanical, if Mazoku decides to attack us, he can turn half our military in an instance."

Knights, Paladins, Bullheads, their very system itself...there was no telling the untold amount of damage that boy could do to them. He has already proven himself strong enough to take down their best team like cotton candy and he was barely trying! It wasn't his best, cause at most, he used two spells and none of his weapons were even used during the fight.

The more and more Ironwood watched, the more his mind (And Mettle) urged him to either have Mazoku under control or kill him for the threat he represnted to not just Atlas but the entire world, both Earth and Remnant.

If not him, then the sheer number of Servants he has and the power they had-

"PENNY!"

Ironwood's eyes slide over to his would be Maiden and felt terror claw at his heart. For all her achievements, for all her power, goodness and kindness, Penny was an android, a robot, a machine.

She may have been the world's first synthetic with an aura, a soul, but she was still a machine, and this BB was an advanced AI, clearly far more advanced than Penny herself. While Dr. Polendina did an amazing job in making Penny LOOK human, if someone were to take a look, a Deep Look at Penny, they could notice certain things about her that were clearly NOT human but that BB woman...she looked perfectly human. If she was truly an advanced AI, then she was what Atlas was attempting to do with Penny, as a new fear begin to grip his heart.

It was entirely possible that BB could hack Penny and take control of her at anytime, anywhere, for any reason.

Even if his pride in Atlas's hardware and Perito's designs said that it was impossible for anyone on Remnant to do so, BB wasn't from Remnant. She was from a completely different world. One where technology may not be as advanced as theirs in some ways like robots, bullhorns and artifical limbs, it was more advanced in other ways. Like hacking and programming, as they didn't have to worry about the Grimm clawing at their doorsteps ever second of everyday.

Earth had plenty of time to upgrade and advanced hacking programmers, where's Remnant did not. Whether the boy realized it or not, he made himself a clear and present threat to not just Atlas but all of Remnant itself.

"He could bring down the entire Atlas network, even my father's own personal security! He could even cut off our long-range scanners for the Grimm! If he did that..."

Ironwood wasn't the only one thinking that, as Weiss was just as fearful of the White Fang gaining Mazoku's help and the terror they could unleash upon her home country men wasn't a pleasant one. If machines made up of half the military personal, then her father's security personal made up mostly of machines, which would leave them vulnerable to an attack IF Mazoku decide to help the White Fang.

"Maybe this is why the Curator really sent father away. Because he would most certainly do everything and anything, he could get rid of Mazoku."

Even if that meant plunging all of Remnant into a war over nothing more than paranoia and his own bruised pride at being proven weaker to someone else.

All three members of the Schnee family thought at the same time, easily seeing Jacques lose his cool and probably try to kill Xero right then and there, consequences be damned. From the fearful look on Sleet and Pietro's face, they also realized the same thing, though more than likely the older man was worried for his 'daughter's' safety and the council man looking worried at how half of their army could be turned on them at any time.

The Ace-Ops, Winter and even Whitely all looked worried at this idea, clearly thinking along the same lines as him. It wasn't irrational, nor was it his usual paranoia talking either, it was a legitimate concern and security threat to not just Atlas but the rest of the world. If the White Fang, any other criminals or brothers forbid, Salem got her hands on BB's power, it could be the end of the world as they knew it. It didn't matter if Mazoku willingly joined her or not, the fact she had such an ability remained a threat no matter how one put it.

In fact, the only one who seemed happy or interested to know this fact, were Mei and Power loader, though the teacher was merely curious to how she was created, Mei wanted to ask many, many questions regarding her programming and how an AI like her works. Able to display emotion and feel said emotions was beyond anything they currently had, and she wanted to know just HOW such a feat was possible.

Thankful Wiz cut in before she could go ask (Demanded) answers.

"Moving on the Pretender class Servant is a relatively new class, one neither Xero nor Gudako has. It is One who wears a role, Pretenders are those whose became heroes while feigning another identity. Disguised individuals, like the masked Zorro, do not qualify for the class, but rather those who acted while fulfilling the role of another. If "Person A" dies with unfulfilled ambitions and "Person B" acts in the role of "Person A" until the end without exposing themselves, "Person A" retains all of their fame. "Person B," the interior of this false persona, is unable to occupy any other spot, so they are left as the only one able to fulfill the role of "Person A," the exterior of the false persona."

Once again, Gudako was the subjected of everyone's stares, as she shook her head, "Hey, don't look at me. I barely understand any of that and like Wiz said, there a relatively new type of class, so we know little to nothing about them. Hell, we haven't even heard of this class till a few weeks ago, the Throne of Heroes is always changing, shifting, adding new heroes to it and even new classes."

"Let's just move on, otherwise this will take forever."

Just as Olga said that Boomstick spoke, "Now that we have covered the main classes and extra classes, there are a few Servants who can't be classified as a regular Servant, such as the Pseudo Servants. Now to save confusion, i'll be taking this right out of Type-Moon, AHEM: Pseudo-Servants, are Servants that have manifested utilizing humans as their vessels. While similar to Demi-Servants in the end result, the process of forming one is different. So basically, what i just said."

"Yes Boomstick, what you just said sums it up but here is a more detailed explanation of these types of Servants. Pseudo-Servants are the result of Heroic Spirits and Divine Spirits that cannot become Servants normally. There are those like Muramasa whose Saint Graph isn't worthy of being a Heroic Spirit, Divine Spirits that cannot manifest in the modern age without a host, and other Saint Graphs that cannot be created by Chaldea's FATE Servant summoning system. In such cases, human vessels are utilized to allow the spirits to manifest, the human body acting as a catalyst to forcibly summon the spirit Sherlock Holmes speculates that there may be Heroic Spirits only summonable in the form of a Pseudo-Servant taking over a deceased body. While the result is the same as a Demi-Servant, a human empowered by a Heroic Spirit, the idea behind each is different. Most Pseudo-Servants merge into a single entity, their personalities combining to become a third, new personality. In the case of Divine Spirit Pseudo-Servants, they should generally manifest simply utilizing the host as a vessel, placing a small portion of their power into them and forcing them to manifest as a Servant. For those that do merge with their host, the Divine Spirit's memories will be at the forefront of the fusion of personalities, but the effect of the host's personality on the Divine Spirit varies. It is possible to manifest in such a way that it is akin to the "goddess using a human as her core" in the case of Ishtar or a "human using a goddess as her own core" in the case of Parvati, but the goddess' mind will still be at the forefront of the manifestation due to the Divine Spirit possessing more spiritrons. As humans are unable to handle the full weight of a Divine Spirits memories and mind, the memories and past of the human host are typically sealed upon merging. There are special cases where the host and possessing spirit remain completely separates , generally due to the personal preference of the possessing spirit. They are the rarest pattern of Pseudo-Servant. In the case of Divine Spirit Pseudo-Servants, Ganesha in particular is an exemption where the host is the one in full control."

"Which is the only reason why Xero is still among the living and NOT being whisked away to the underworld by Isthar's sister, Ereshkigal. The body she is using is the world's biggest tsundere, Rin Tohsaka. It's the 'Rin' part of her that keeps the goddess holding back from simply kidnapping her master, so he should be thankful that Emyia's fellow master of the fifth Holy Grail War became a Pseudo Servant."

"Underworld? Does she mean like an afterlife or something and who's Ereshkigal?" Sage asked, not at all understanding and wondering why some people actually looked pale at the name of the Lancer.

"If you know anything about Mesopotamian mythology, then you would know Ereshkigal was the goddess of Kur, the land of the dead or underworld in Sumerian mythology." Olga said simply, gaining the attention of Remnant's people, "In later myths, she was said to rule Irkalla alongside her husband Nergal. Sometimes her name is given as Irkalla, similar to the way the name Hades was used in Greek mythology for both the underworld and its ruler, and sometimes it is given as Ninkigal, lit. 'Lady of the Great Earth'. Ereshkigal was only one of multiple deities regarded as rulers of the underworld in Mesopotamia. The main temple dedicated to her was located in Kutha, a city originally associated with Nergal, and her cult had a very limited scope. No personal names with "Ereshkigal" as a theophoric element are known. In the ancient Sumerian poem Inanna's Descent to the Underworld, Ereshkigal is described as Inanna's older sister. However, they were not commonly associated with each other. The two main myths involving Ereshkigal are the story of Inanna's descent into the Underworld and the story of Ereshkigal's marriage to the god Nergal. Other myths also associate her with gods such as Ninazu, originally regarded as her husband but later as a son, and Ningishzida."

Some were surprised at the depth of Olga's knowledge of ancient legends, as Oobleck wrote down in his notebook but looked at her with a smile, "Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us miss Olga. I must say, i am surprised you know such details."

"It's nothing, in our line of work, knowing legends gives us a better chance at summoning them." Olga waved off his compliments, "Though as we later find out, Lancer didn't actually have a husband or a child and that she really was indeed left alone by the gods since the beginning of time. Which does explain her desires to take Mazoku's soul to the underworld when he dies. Though she isn't the only one bidding for his soul." Olga whispered the last part under her breath, but Tony heard it, nevertheless, leading him to demanded answers.

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly that Stark, Ereshkigal isn't the only one who wants his soul when he dies. Believe it or not, thanks to the many Servants that can manipulate souls by magic, are rulers/workers of some type of after life (Ereshkigal and the Valkyries), demons Gods tier ones, want Mazoku's soul." Olga shook her head in a tired manner, "Even during our time in Chaldea, after nearly five years i think, some Servants started staking their claim on his soul and it almost became a battle royal for his soul. Given how close he's come to dying during the Grand Order, i suppose it should be no surprise but the number of Servants that want his soul when he dies was shocking to me."

"Just to be clear, they WON'T do anything that could take his soul...early?" Pepper didn't want to think too badly of her adopted sons allies but she had to make sure of that and Olga staying silent for a minute didn't help her fears, as Gudako chipped in.

"Well, it's one of the reasons why they all agreed to the harem route. To understand it better, Servants and masters have a symbiotic relationship, kind of like Venom and Eddie in a way. They are BOND to one another, till death do them part if everything works out well. Servants offer up their skills and power, thus in return the master keeps them alive. But also, like Venom, some don't have a HUMAN way of thinking: Age means nothing to them seeing as they are stuck in the age period they were summoned in, never being able to grow old and while some do have a human way of thinking, that can change really quickly if their master is in danger. It's easy to forget that no matter how they act or look, they are NOT human. They don't really, truly fear death since not only are they technically already dead, but they can also just be resummoned back after returning to the Throne of Heroes or in our case, simply go back to their card forms to rest for a couple of days. But if the master dies, that's it. Game over, no coming back for them."

"You sure it's a good idea to reveal this kind of information to our enemies?" Annie, ever the cold and logical woman she is, asked the younger woman as the redhead shrugged.

"Maybe not but it's going to be revealed sooner or later, so might as well get it out and make it clear. The point I'm making here, is that because of their inhuman way of thinking, what it would take to protect or avenge their master if they actually got along with them, is all but nothing. They will do WHATEVER it takes to ensure their vengeance is complete. So, if that means destroying entire nations, the world itself if need be and killing anyone who gets in their way, then they'll do it."

"How can you be sure about that?" Of course, this came from William Sktyer, who was skeptical about the entire thing, "This sounds nothing then a hypothetical situation-"

"Because of having an infinite number of realities, we were able to view a reality where you all betrayed Oni-chan." Gudako's cold admission stopped him cold, as her bright eyes lost their light for a second, speaking in a very dull tone, "You, the Avengers, the Church and Mage's Association all killed him and his Servants, in retaliation they destroyed the world. It got so bad, Alaya herself and Gaia themselves had to step in to stop them but by then, it was too late."

That shocked everyone, as President Matthew shuddered out, "B-but why? I understand getting betrayed is a bad thing but to go so far, its-"

"I would never betray my kids-"

"It's because of the bond." Olga said simply, cutting off Tony and Matthew getting everyone's attention, as she spoke, flipping her hair over her shoulder, "I'll keep it simple: The deeper the master increases his or her bond with the summoned Servant, not only do they grow stronger to the peak of their power in their lifetime and beyond that, but the trust between the two deepen. The bond itself is something created by Alaya to ensure the Servant would be willingly to work with the master she's chosen but on the flip side, it makes the Servant more loyal to the chosen master rather than Alaya herself. Most Holy Grail Wars last only two to three weeks, a month at most. So, it would be no problem but seeing as the Grand Order last over TEN years, purely within the walls of Chaldea itself and seeing as how Deeping the bond to max can make the Servant stronger, it should be no surprise that his and Stark's Servants will do WHATEVER it takes to protect their master and if need be, avenger them. This leads back to the whole harem thing, seeing as how many Servants already got along with Mazoku in the first place, the deepening of the bond level increased the love they held for him and if it were to go unrequired or worse, uncared for it could get...messy. Sure, it would be more work and a bit tedious for master to have multiple lovers its better than having no love at all and seeing as we have a symbiotic relationship with him, any other type of relationship is doomed to fail. As i said before, masters and Servants are bond to one another, at the end of the day, they need each other to survive. What it all comes down to is the fact a Servant will protect their master at any cost, so rather than face heartbreak, many decided it would be easier and simpler to just share master. Sure, some Servants could love other Servants, but this may be the first and last time all these Servants are bond to the same master, which also means it's doomed to fail, even if Mazoku and Stark will die one day, there is a good chance they won't have to face them in a future Holy Grail War. The fact his own religious beliefs, believe that love should be spread and shared, not hoarded or denied to just a single person, so it all works out for everyone involved. Plus, thanks to the bond and dreaming cycles, there are no secrets between us."

"And that's not including some of the Servants who think Mazoku is the reincarnation of their past love or are yanderes and the harem idea was to ensure none of those yanderes tried to kill the rest of us to get master for herself. Not to mention to most Magus, Servants are tools, so master and Stark treating them like friends did nothing more than reinforce their loyalty to them, especially those that so desperately seek love, acceptance and kindness. That's not including the fact Master has helped all his Servants face their demons, helped resolve their issues or anything like that to help them move on with their seconds lives in our world. The fact master and Stark can both touch Serenity without dying made her all but fanatical in keeping BOTH of them alive."

Which honestly made the Assassin all the more dangerous.

The set up her master and the secondary master of Chaldea had with their Servants was a prime example of Rule by Love, overrule by Fear as most Magus would do to their Servants.

None of them needed to know that particular detail.

That made a whole lot of sense, now that they had all the necessary information needed to make sense of it all. However, a certain spartan caught onto something. Plus, not all Servants loved their shared master like one would love a lover. Some, like Europa loved Xero as the "loving grandma" and the Caster version of Morgan was granted the title of Granny Morgan. The same could be said for old man Li Shuwen and the first Hassan were granted the titles of "Grandpa" and "Gramps".

But it wasn't just them, as many child Servants loved Xero as their parental figure/caretaker like Jack, Alice, Kid Gil, etc.

"Well, nice to know where we stand." Ymir snarked, not in anger or annoyance but mostly just because that was how she was in general, as Gudako merely smirked at her with a knowing look.

"Oh, and if it was Historia that was being threaten, YOU wouldn't do everything in your power to protect her, even if that meant sacrificing the entire world, purely just to protect the one you love the most?" The freckled woman stayed silent, well shit, the redhead had a damn good point there and she wouldn't deny it at all.

It was very much true, and she would do it without a second thought, if that is what it took to protect her little blonde goddess.

"Miss Olga, you said 'to work with the master she's chosen' does that mean Alaya choses who becomes the master?" Pyrrha asked, as Gudako smiled at how perspective the redhead was, as Olga spoke.

"Well, if you want to get technically about it, it's the Holy Grail that chose who becomes a master for...whatever reason it has and even then, just because you have been chosen, doesn't mean you will become one. You still have to conduct the ritual and to get a certain Servant, you'll need a relic from their past to summon that specific Servant to your side. If not, then whatever Servant you have the strongest affinity with will be summoned. Mazoku is the exception, as his mother was the one to conduct the summoning ritual bonding Jeanne to him and not her."

"Okay i get that." Jaune pitched in, as he looked at Gudako, "But how do you know if you've been chosen by the Grail to become a master or potineal master at least?"

"With theses." The redheaded Stark said simply, holding her arm up and willing her Command Seals to appear on her skin, getting gasp in response to the sudden appearance of the red tattoo like seals.

"What is-"

"Keep watching and you'll find out, Arc." Gudako winked, making the blonde blush, as the spartan glared at the other redhead, feeling hot anger boil in her veins before she mentally smacked herself for thinking that and wiped the glare off her face before anyone noticed it, as the screen started up once again with Wiz speaking.

Completely unaware of the looks her team and sister team were shooting her.

"Yeah, strangely enough it wasn't just Rin that became a Pseudo Servant. Another Pseudo Servant is the famed Jaguar Man: Fujimura Taiga, Emyia's old caretaker after his father passed and teacher too. Then there is Irisviel, Emyia's stepmother and-"

"Okay is it just me or did every member of the Emyia family become a Pseudo Servant?" Boomstick suddenly asked, now sensing a tread as his cohost started listening off the names of Pseudo Servants. Wiz stayed silent for a minute before he finally answered.

"Yes...i, i think so Boomstick."

"They do." Gudako nodded her head.

The screen then changed, as it showed the entire Emyia family in their Servant forms, from Kiritsugu, Shirou, Irisviel, Illya, Chole (Kuro) and Taiga in her third form, the black suit but still viable tiger ears on her head.

"Pardon me Lady Gudako but is it possible for ANYONE to become a Pseudo Servant?" Ozpin suddenly ask, looking like he just come out of his deep thought state to ask the question, making Gudako raise an eyebrow but answer, nevertheless.

"Yes. Why?"

"Even someone who is either on the verge of death or in a coma?"

"Well, i mean they can. Even on the verge of death, a person can still talk and accept a contract, while a person in a coma would be a bit more difficult, it can be done. Again, why?"

"Even if that person is a young woman, who's been in a coma for months on end?"

Cinder suddenly felt ice flood her veins, as Ironwood looked just as shocked as her, as did the rest of Ozpin's inner circle. No way, there's no way Ozpin was suggesting that-

"So long as she is still alive or hell, even so long as the body is alive, then a Servant can easily take over the body and make it their own. It wouldn't be that hard."

Ozpin nodded slowly, swirling his drink around for a minute before he spoke, "Then Lady Gudako, can you-"

"OZPIN YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" Ironwood all but roared, as he shot to his feet, glaring at the one of the oldest people in the room, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOUR DOING?! YOU'LL BE HANDING OVER AMBER TO A DANGEROUS PERSON AND MAZOKU WILL HAVE THREE MAIDENS UNDER HIS CONTROL! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!"

"I have not!" Ozpin glared right back, as Cinder felt panic settle in her very bones. No, no way, no fucking way can someone as arrogant as Ozpin be considering handing over one of his most valuable pieces to someone who would not serve him. No way- "But as things stand, i believe this could be course of action. As much as i hate to say it, i think Amber may already be dead and your machine is all that is keeping her alive won't last forever. Sooner or later, her power will seek out it's other half and seeing as we have no idea what your machine will do to whoever who chose to transfer Amber's aura too, it's too risky. It was always risky to use but now that we know all this, i believe it's safer to allow one of Lord Mazoku's Servants or Lady Gudako's Servants to take over Amber body. Yes, it will give them another Maiden, but it is most certainly better then sacrificing one of my students and possible LOSING both the Maidens power AND my students in the process if your machine fails James. While i have no doubt Atlas has made great strides in understanding aura, we're talking about magic. Something even I, as old as i am, do not fully understand completely and i have decide it would be better to let people, who are clearly more experienced in dealing with magic and have a far greater understanding of it to handle the delicate matter. This way, we know for certain that it will work and not only we will deny Cinder the Fall Maiden's powers, but the Servants also have a much better chance of taking back the other half without problems, even protecting the power much better from both Cinder and the rest of Salem's followers."

He would.

It was a good argument, a sound one full of logic and truth to it, not to mention it would prevent Cinder from gaining the rest of the power. Thus, negating her plans, destroying her sway over Adam's fraction of the White Fang and Salem will lose a powerful agent and the returning of the Fall Maiden's power may make Cinder weaker than she was before she stole half the Fall Maiden's power.

There was just one teeny, tiny problem with this:

"After everything we have learned, it's clear that Mazoku and his allies are a clear security threat to not just Vale or Atlas but all of Remnant and even the rest of the world as a whole. Willingly giving them Fall's power would be disastrous results, we can't afford them to gain more power. He and Stark have to be dealt with before they cause untold damage to our world."

"Excuse me?" Tony growled, as the rest of the Avengers and SHEILD soldiers tensed at Ironwood's words, knowing what he meant by 'dealt with' and they didn't like the sound of it, as Pepper wrapped her arms around her adopted daughter, like she would need to shield her if be, "You want to say that again, Iron-Bastard. Cause I'm pretty sure i just heard you say that you're going to try to kill MY son and daughter."

"Like it or not, your son's Servants are a clear threat to everyone here." Winter cut in coldly, ignoring the glare the man known as Iron Man and the Avengers were sending her. This needed to be said and they needed to hear it, whether they liked it or not, this was the truth, "Your son is too powerful to be left alone, he has to be watched and-"

"Say one more word and I'm ripping your damn thorax out bub." Logan growled, as he an unleashed his metal claws with a loud SLINK, to emphasis his point, while Winter remained unflinching, despite her tense posture.

"The general is right, we-"

"General enough!" Suddenly, Council man Sleet cut in, stopping Ironwood and his plus one from making a MASSIVE mistake, "Atlas is NOT doing anything to Lord Mazoku or his allies unless we have too. Now is not the time for your usual paranoia, so sit down and lets just get through this."

"Council man-"

"No!" The younger man yelled, glaring behind his glasses, "Regardless of what lord Mazoku COULD do, i will not allow you to start a war just because of your need for control and paranoia. Now stand down and sit down, NOW."

The man gritted his teeth, seeing most of his allies were very much against it, save for Winter and even the Ace-Ops. But he was dangerously outnumbered, and this was not the ideal battlefield for him to fight on. He grumbled but stood down for now, but this was far from over.

That, he swore.

"Keep this up and the very destruction you are trying to prevent, will happen."

Ironwood ignored the small voice in his head, clearly sounding like good sense trying to discourage him from his current course of action but if the general was one thing, it's being stubborn as a bull.

Along with the rest of Atlas and it's proud citizens.

As this happened, the heroes and heroes in training watched the scene silently, like one would watch a tennis match, not having a clue of what was going on. What did they mean by this 'Maiden' thing, Atlas and this Salem person?

Just what the hell was going on here?!

"You know general, it's that kind of attitude that makes enemies out of everyone." Roman grinned, as he took an inhale of his cigarette, as Ironwood shot him a glare, "Just saying is all, boss man and lady don't seem like the type to attack without being attacked first. I get it, i really do, your use to having the biggest stick in the world and now you're having to play second, no, THIRD fiddle to someone else that has a much LARGER stick."

"Well, what did Grandpa Howard say?" Gudako asked, amusement clear in her tone as she smiled at the bowler hat guy's comment, "Peace means...Just having a bigger stick than the other guy, i believe."

"Yeah, he did." Tony said, his brows furrowing as her words registered in his head. Grandpa Howard? Now THAT was something he never thought he would ever her in his lifetime and hoped to never hear it again.

That, that just sounded wrong.

So very wrong.

"Well, that's what we're doing here." Gudako said, snapping Tony from his horror induced thought process, "No matter what anyone says, no matter how much we would like to say otherwise, history is written by the winners and all those winners had the bigger stick than anyone else or at the very least, outnumbered the losers. Peace is all about having the bigger stick than the bad guys and here's the stick WE have. Oni-chan and i do not wish for war, as war is hell and we would love nothing more than to avoid it, but we won't back down either if we are threatening by people who can't stand that we have a bigger stick. So, here's how it's going to work..." Gudako lost her normal smile, a stoic look coming to her face, as the temperature in the room raised enough to cause people to start sweating as her eyes bore into Ironwood's, "You don't mess with us, we don't mess with you or Atlas. Try to fuck with us however, we won't just beat you. We will destroy you; We will beat you; we will strip you of your pride, we will turn your oh so wonderful bots against you, we will see your precious Atlas come CRASHING down into Mantle and your soldiers not just beaten but broken. But you know what, it doesn't have to happen that way, all you need to do is NOT attack us unprovoked. That's it, it's really that simple, i cannot put it any simpler: You don't mess with us, we don't mess with you. Now i don't know about you but that sounds like a great deal to me, don't you agree Steve?"

The redhead asked the blonde super soldier, who nodded in agreement, "Sounds like something i can get behind."

"Erwin?"

"That would be preferable, yes."

"Levi?"

"Personally, i would have prefer to leave them with a black eye for all the shit they're trying to pull but it's fine with me."

"Fury?"

"We've already enough problems as it is. If you can keep another nation from an entirely different world, then I'm all for it. But I'll be honest, given what happened in Null, how its supposedly resemble so closely to this version of Remnant that we've found ourselves neighboring with, i fully expect a war to break out by the end of the year. I really do and I'm hoping they'll prove themselves as smart as they say and NOT start a war over their bruised pride."

It was only through sheer will that kept the general's silence, feeling very insulted that Atlas would wage a war over something so stupid as pride. Did they not realize the threat that boy presented, or did they just willfully ignore it? Even if the Grimm and this so called 'Dead War' was real, did no one think of what would come after?

What about the 'Mad Titan' person?

Why didn't the boy's future self-know of him about him? Did Thanos simply not come to Earth, or did he simply not mention him? If so, then why? What reason could he have to keep that a secret and what about all the other secrets he was keeping?

No matter how you looked at it, just one bad day is all it took to turn someone from virtuous to villainous. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even in a year but sooner or later, they would all would regret that decision.

One Maiden was bad enough, two were a nightmare but three?

They'd be a nigh unstoppable force and if they decide to collect Spring's power, then no one on either planet could hope to stop them. No one should have that much power.

No one.

"Are you just as confused as me?" Izuku asked his first real friend at UA, as the brown-haired girl nodded.

"What do they mean by Maiden? Like a woman of some sort of nobility?" The green haired boy shrugged, even more confused now than before.

"Indeed Mr. Midoriya, just what do my fellow headmasters mean by 'Maiden'?"

Nezu quietly thought to himself, as he looked back at the screen, as it started up again. Oh well, good things come to those who wait and sooner or later, he would get his questions answered, as Gudako spoke again, looking directly at Ironwood, "Look, you don't like me or trust me which is fine. I personally don't care one way or the other as i don't trust you either but i do believe you are a good man in your own way. No matter what anyone says, you're a general, trying to protect a kingdom he had dedicated his life too and seeing as how you acted in Null, you're not completely heartless, in fact, it was that kind of attitude that added big points in our books for you. But therein lies the problem, it's some of your country men that will do ANYTHING to ensure they stay on top but you? You are trying to stop Remnant's equivalent to an evil Overlord, which isn't easy given the fact she is immortal with an army of dark animals at her command. So, I think we can both agree when i say, you can trust me when i say that the Grimm, Salem, the Rotten World, the undead of said world and the Six Dark Purveyors want us, humans, mutants, Faunus, Huntsman, Solders and Magus all dead. As i said you don't have to like me or trust me to get the results you want."

"And what results DO i want?"

"Well for starters, Salem defeated, and the Grimm gone for one." Ironwood said nothing, as she was right on that one, as she continued, "Personal i don't think you're a bad guy genearl, just someone under an insane amount of stress, more than anyone person should have been forced to carry but beggers can't be chosers. Believe it or not but I'm not some egotistical idiot that wants to destroy the world for whatever idiotic reason since, newsflash, i LIVE on this world just like everyone. It's not perfect, never has been and probably never will be. This world has plenty of bad in it sure, but it has a lot of good too, good that i want to protect not just that but those i love as well. Besides, if you are so worried about Oni-chan and i having all the Maidens power on our side, don't. Compared to many of our Servants, the Maiden's power is nothing more than a small flicker in the grand scheme of things, barely blipping on our radar on the power scale, let alone compared to our own magical power. The bottom line is this: You can sallow your pride/fear, pull your heads out of your asses so we can work together to stop what is to come and survive, or we can do the bad guy's job for them. We could just kill each other in some mad grab for power and in doing so, doom both our worlds in the process. So General Ironwood, i ask not just you but the rest of you, can we all put aside our distrust and hate for one another, form a truce of sorts if only long enough for us to beat Salem and ensure the world doesn't end because of a zombie apocalypse?"

The redhead asked, as she extended her hand, as a sign for a truce to be formed, as Ironwood stared at it for a good long minute before he sighed and grabbed it reluctantly, "I suppose i have no choice do i?"

"You do, you have chosen NOT to be an idiot and believe your pride is worth more than the safety of the world. You can work with us and survive or don't and die."

THE SAME GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU.

She didn't need to say it, as that one statement hung in the air like an oppressive cloud over everyone's heads. It didn't need to be said, as everyone could read between the lines and made a choice:

They'd agree to work with them and survive...For now.

Everyone else that representatives one of the many countries and nations of the world all slowly nodded in agreement, as Gudako let go of Ironwood's hand to return to her seat, as Pepper spoke to her adopted daughter with a smile, "That was great work Gudako."

"Great work?" Tony scoffed with his own proud smile, "Please Pepper, i think that was excellent work. I'm still having a hard time believing it actually happened at all."

"Well, when you lay it out so plainly for all to see, you'd be surprised at what you can accomplish." Remy grinned, twirling a card between his fingers, "Nice work boss lady."

The rest of the Avengers and the Levi squad all offered their own congrats at reaching this compromise, unaware of Gudako's much darker thoughts.

"Idiots, did they not realize just because i cowed and logicized them into submission, doesn't change much. It's only a matter of time before they, the ones in charge or someone else entirely comes after us for our power. Hell, they might just flat out ignore or won't believe our warning and us it as a way to try to discredit us in some way. I'm not sure how but that's just how politics."

Well, judging by the looks Levi, Erwin, Hange, Natasha, Betty, Jess, Jenn, Logan, Laura, Remy and Armin had told her that they were thinking along the same lines as her.

It wasn't arrogance or her being pessimistic, it was a simple fact people in power didn't like to have their power threaten in any shape or form.

They don't like it when someone had more power them, less so when that said person couldn't, WOULD'T, allow themselves to be controlled. Especially since she had the Maiden powers and even if she told them the truth, that wouldn't stop people from coming after her to get them from her. Hell, the redhead can see the gears turning, not only in Cinder's and Seinna's heads but those from Vacuo and Atlas.

Vale and Mistral really didn't stand out too much to her, as Raven and Leo were gone. The fact both were cowards and barely made a blip on their threat radar, what were they going to do? One would undoubtedly be executed for treason and the other was a weak little bandit that could only take on villages that they attacked quickly, never sticking around to fight the responders that would come to the call of defenseless people.

She could say whatever she liked but Gudako and her Oni-chan knew the truth:

She and the rest of her so called "Family" were nothing more than weaklings that could only pray on those weaker than them with no hope of going after bigger fish, Spring Maiden powers or not.

Power, like training, meant nothing if you didn't have the will to act on it.

But the rest of them?

Oh no sir, she could see gears turning in their heads, plans forming and more than likely a lot of them meant nothing good for her or Oni-chan. Knowing how the Maiden powers work, they will not doubt think that their Servants could work the same way and attempt to steal them. Either through some sort of legal bullshit and once they realized that wouldn't work, they would try to forcefully steal them, claiming it was for the "Greater Good" or whatever ridiculous thing they could come up with.

"That's how it's always been: Those with power will always be pursued by those who seek power for their own ends, regardless of the fact it's impossible to claim this power for their own or not. After all, 'reason' 'logic' and 'truth' mean nothing in the face of 'desires' and 'greater good'. Even if the end of the world is barely five years away, that won't stop idiots who seek our power and the power of the Winter Maiden."

Even if there was no chance for it to happen and unknown to the world, she, Ritsuka "Gudako" Stark/Mazoku will be the last Winter Maiden the world will ever see.

Vale was off the table, mostly due to Ozpin's presence. He won't do anything that might jeopardize his end goal of ending his shadow war with Salem once and for all. If nothing else, he'd do everything he could to make them happy and safe. At least, long enough to deal with Salem, which was fine with her, as they could take care of themselves and after seeing her Oni-chan beat down Atlas so called "Best team" made her thoughts of huntsman go down quite a bit.

Aside from their aura protecting them, which by the way sounded an awful lot like Reinforcement, they weren't that big of a threat to them. But they would still be a pain to normal soldiers, possibility a threat to people like Levi and Mikasa, it wouldn't mean much.

Give it some time and they could find a way around their aura and deal with them if need be but that wasn't the big problem.

From Vacuo, she had read up on them a week prior to the Peace Summit and while she could respect them as people, the people of Vacuo had chips on their shoulders. The girls of team NDGO were eyeing her Oni-chan in a way that she made her clench her fist and cause her teeth to grit in fury.

Those girls were social climbers, people who would use people like her Oni-chan to improve their lives, use him for their own means and throw him away at their own leisure. Not that it would work of course, as her Oni-chan had many lovers who wouldn't allow bitches like them to sink their claws into him but the fact they would try to use him like that made her anger.

It might seem like Gudako was grasping at straws, but Sherlock had taught her how to read people just from a glance and these four gave her bitch vibes all the way.

As for Atlas, well Ironwood said he would work with them but afterward?

Afterward, who's to say he won't try something? If not him, then the rest of Atlas not liking something was smarter AND stronger than them NOT working for them wouldn't try something after this was over or worse, BEFORE it was over? She could definitely see Sleet working that angel, trying to corner them into doing what he wanted, along with Jacques, who will more than likely try to roughshod his way into getting whatever he wanted and then some.

He'd already done it to his own wife, daughters and son, so why not to someone who had the power to destroy entire nations in just one attack? But not just him or even Atlas as a whole, what about the rest of Remnant's and Earth's own politicians? Not to mention the various groups, organizations and everyone else who wanted a piece of their power, of magic itself?

Personally, Gudako didn't think Ironwood was a bad person, but not only did he have led the only army on Remnant, but he was also the headmaster of his school and a part of an organization that has been trying to prevent an immortal Grimm bitch from destroying everything they love, out of sheer spite for what happened to her, while trying to keep four women with incredible power from being used by criminals and other not so nice people.

It was a good idea to keep the Maiden's existence a secret but now that everyone would more than likely learn of them or at the very least, those with enough power to cause trouble, would know she was one as well as Mikasa. They might not try anything on her, given her position but Mikasa was the weaker of the two, magically at least and if given the chance those who sought the powers of the Maiden would go for Soldier Girl first.

Through many experiences, Gudako had learned the hard way, that people would try to take advantage of a crisis to get what they wanted.

It was dark, twisted, manipulative and wrong in every sense of the word but it was during these times of crisis, when people need to work together to survive that people like them take advantage of the crisis to get what they want.

"Not that'll work of course, as they need US more than we need THEM but that won't stop some people from trying to turn the situation to their favor. Times like this, makes me wonder if we didn't waste our time trying to save humanity with idiots and assholes like this running around."

As these dark thoughts circled around the young redhead's mind, the video started again with Boomstick picking up from where they left off.

"Okay, weirdness aside, many Servants have a diverse set of skills unique to each one, some have a Dual Class skill. Meaning they can switch between either Assassin or Caster, like the sexy as hell, wise queen of Assyria, Semiramis herself."

The screen showed the Assassin in question, getting many to blush at her choice of clothing, as Wiz cut in, "Yes, well not only do Servants possess unique skills, but each Servant also has a trump card known as a Noble Phantasm. Noble Phantasm's are 'crystallized mysteries', powerful armaments made using human imagination as their core, and are the weapons and/or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. As humanity's illusions, they embody the ultimate mysteries of a hero as symbols of their existence through historical fact and anecdotes. They can be physical weaponry (IE swords, spears, bows) or support items (shields, rings, crowns). They can also be abstractions such as unique, often magical abilities (even close to or matching True Magic), unique (even conceptual) means of attack, curses, and changes to the very environment and its physical properties. When summoned as Servants in the Holy Grail War, they are the trump cards of the heroes that allow them to overcome others in battle."

"Translation: They're basically moves that are not only trump cards but it's the pinnacle of their legend, what MAKES them a legend. They could be anything a weapon, a certain way of fighting, a boo- A book? Really?" Boomstick laighed a little at that, as he spoke, after getting over his fit of laughter, "Like how Jeanne D'Arc, the Ruler ones Noble Phantasm is called: Luminosité Eternelle! By converting her EX-rank Magic Resistance skill into an equally powerful defense that blocks all physical attacks. It is the crystallization of the legend of Jeanne d'Arc waving her flag on the battlefield and fighting to the very end with hardly any wounds. However, each time she uses it, she accumulates damages, so naturally, she can't withstand an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm multiple times in a row. Incidentally, Jeanne uses this flag mostly to attack in battle. But on the flip side, she can use an attack known as O La Pucelle, a conceptual crystallization weapon interpreted as her burning at the stake in an attack-like fashion but it's also a suicide move as well."

"Indeed Boomstick, While La Pucelle is a very powerful attack, it is a variant of Reality Marble that crystallizes the mental landscape of the user into a sword in the form of flames. After the battle in which this Noble Phantasm was manifested, Jeanne will be extinguished. In exchange for her life, she gains access to pure destructive power that cannot be calculated, which allows her to annihilate anything in existence. However, these flames only destroy that which she considers a dangerous threat that must be destroyed. In other words, this Noble Phantasm cannot be used against simply a strong enemy or out of emotions like hate."

"Huh, so it's a powerful attack but comes with a great personal cost to the user. It kind of sounds like what happens when Midoriya uses his Quirk, ribbit." The frog girl pointed out, as she put a finger to her chin. The green haired boy didn't response, as he was currently writing down everything, he could at lighting speed, his eyes never leaving the notebook, even if he absentmindedly nodded.

Much to the amusement of his classmates.

"These Noble Phantasms, they sound an awful lot like a semblance or one of those Quirks of yours." Oobleck mused to himself, as he wrote in his own notebook, not wanting to miss such an opportunity to see history unfold before his very eyes. As a teacher, huntsman and researcher, there was no other place he would rather be at the moment then right here and now.

"I'm guessing the reason why that move is a 'suicide' one as you described it as, is because Jeanne died when she was burned?" Hawks asked, as he could see how that would work, given how that is what made the D'Arc a 'legend' as Gudako nodded.

"Yep. Its way NPs are considered as a last resort. Not only do they use a MASSIVE amount of mana, but it will also reveal who they truly are and anyone with a brain knows that knowledge is power. Using a Noble Phantasm is a last resort and when revealed, it not only tells you who they are but also reveals weakness too."

"Interesting."

Even if everything so far seemed to be working against her, Cinder knew that she had to keep her head down, her mouth shut and learn all she could, so she could come up with a way to defeat Mazoku and the Avengers. Even if they agreed to this pathetic attempt at a compromise, she knew it would fall soon enough thanks to some overzealous huntsman or soldier, it wouldn't last. Every piece of info was worth its weight in gold and no matter how much it burned her pride, she wasn't foolish enough to pass up such a golden opportunity to learn more about her enemies.

Cinder blinked as she remembered a certain detail, "But wait, wouldn't that mean this Ruler person has two Noble Phantasms?"

Boomstick unintentionally asked the same question as the wannabe Fall Maiden, "So, does that mean Jeanne has TWO Noble Phantasms?"

"Well, yes in a sense. Jeanne has a defensive and offensive Noble Phantasms. Truthfully, it's not entirely uncommon for a Servant to have two Noble Phantasms, Artoria, the Saber one has her sword attack and her Sheath for her blade as Noble Phantasms. Hell, some Servants have completely outrageous Noble Phantasms, like Semiramis Hanging Garden of Babylon, Charlemagne's Charles Patricius, Berserker Lancelot's Knight of Owner and even Iskander's, which is basically using a Reality Marble to drag people into his desert and unleashing his ENTIRE AMRY UPON THEM!"

The screen changed to show the two massive Noble Phantasms and Iskander's army.

"Holy shit, look at them all!" Jean was God smacked at seeing the large army, as were the rest of his fellow soldiers. It didn't matter if he had seen them during the Battle of New York, since he was far too busy trying to stay alive to truly pay attention to the newly arrived roman like soldiers.

"How the hell is that fair?" Mercury growled to himself, as he and Emerald felt their chances at beating Xero and his allies dimming more every second this video went on. Cinder didn't even have the full power of the Fall Maiden, nor the experience required to properly wield them, while the two Magus had YEARS to hone their skills.

In magic and many other subjects, how they hell where they supposed to measure up to that?!

"I don't believe..." Weiss felt her entire world come crashing down and burning by her own heads. Everything she was hearing, watching and knowing it was all true was difficult to comprehend, nigh impossible in her mind.

It SHOULD have been impossible!

Gods, demons, demon pillars, Lostbelts, Servants, magic, Alien gods, immortal monsters, time travel and now this?! She was by no means mentally unstable, cold and demanding yes but not unstable in any sort of way.

Weiss felt like her grip on her reality, her sanity was slipping further and further away as she watched all this. It was all so, so, SO... INSANE! Everything about this whole thing was beyond insane and was threatening to tear apart the reality Weiss knew and grew up in! The more and more she watched, the closer she felt like her sanity, and anger, were close to snapping like a twig.

It was just so...SO DAMN BLOODY RIDICLOUS!

CRAZY!

AND RIDICLOUS

SO INSANE, SO CRAZY AND RIDICLOUS, SO FAR BEYOND THE REALITY OF WEISS SCHNEE THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE INSANITY SHE COULD TAKE!

This kind of thing only happened in those comic books Arc and Ruby read, not real life! All of this, everything it had to be some sort of semblance or advanced technology or, or...something! SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY AND YES, MAYBE HE HAD THE SAME BLOOD AS A SCHNEE, AS HE COULD SUMMON LIKE THEY COULD, YES THAT HAD TO BE IT!

HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF BASTARDIZE AURA TECHNIQUE OR SEMBLANCE OR, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!

NOT MAGIC!

Magic didn't exist, and nothing would change her, Weiss Schnee's mind, not now, not ever!

Poor innocent Weiss, you have no idea what's coming your way.

"Hang on, i saw those soldiers during the battle but where are the other ones?" Eren asked, brows furrowing, "Where are those skeleton guys at?"

"That's because Oni-chan has two Servants that can summon armies." Gudako said, as she lifted up two fingers," The one you are talking, the second one is known as Daruis the Third, the prince of Persia and his undead army of immortal soldiers."

Of course, they were undead and immortal, why wouldn't they be?

Cinder had no way of knowing if the redhead was speaking the truth, talking about a different type of immortality or what but all she knew was that her chances for power we're slipping further and further away, much to her anger. She didn't have the full power of the Fall Maiden, she told herself in a desperate feverish attempt to hold onto her badly bruised ego/pride, it didn't matter how strong they were they were nothing without their Servants.

"I WILL have Fall Maiden's power as my own, it IS my DESTINY! Nothing, least of some damn brat will change it!"

Her hands clenched harshly, so hard they drew blood as her subordinates (IE Emerald) looked worryingly at her but said nothing. The duo learned long ago that once Cinder was in a bad mood, she uses any excuse to turn something or someone into ashes to sate her anger. The duo moved away from her, not wanting to face the blunt fourth of her wrath.

"Holy cow!" Hado yelled, eyes wide in shock and surprise, "How is he doing that? Can every Servant do that or is it some sort of rare thing? Are the soldiers still aware of who they are and willingly work with Iskandar or is it forced? How many other Servants can do that?"

Her two friends didn't answer her, both shocked at the sight of the red bearded bear of a man summoning so many soldiers in just a flash. Now that was a one-man army!

Everyone, even the more stoned faced ones like Ozpin and Sir Night eye were shocked into silence at this piece of information. Just what else did these two master's have up their sleeve?! If Xero had this many Servants with these kinds of power, than what did Gudako have?!

"But Servants aren't all powerful." Wiz suddenly said, cutting off everyone thoughts, as he brought attention back while the screen showed Jack the Ripper in her first ascension form, "Let's take Jack for example: Jack is an Assassin class Servant, despite being a gold card, five-star Servant she isn't all that powerful unless certain parameters are met to unleash their full power."

Boomstick spoke next, "Yeah, we forgot to mention, in this world's version of Chaldea, Servants are not only summoned by two masters, but they have a Bronze, Silver, Gold, star coded system. Bronze and up to two stars are lesser-known legends like Sasaki Kojirō and Mata Hari aren't very well known or are pretty weak in the grand scheme of things. Most Silver coded Servants are either three or four, depending on who they are like Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Dr. Henry Jekyll & Mr. Hyde."

"To go into further detail, the color-coded card system is a tier list." Wiz said, showing the mentioned Servants, within their respectable card forms, "Bronze is the most common with Silver coming in a close second. Now, GOLD carded Servants are the big fish in a sense, the ones you want and the rarest of them all."

"For all intent and purposes, they're the big bosses." Boomstick explained, as the screen changed to show Gilgamesh unleashing his Noble Phantasm on some poor, unnamed enemy, "Like Gilgamesh the King of Heroes himself and of course, Xero's first Servant, Jeanne D'Arc." It ended with Jeanne flying her flag in all its glory.

"It's like this." Wiz said, as the three-color coded cards appeared on screen, each one had a Two, Four and Five printed at the top in order, "Bronze is for the weaker, lesser-known legends like Assassins, as their discretion, remaining completely in shadows is their greatest strength. Hard to counter something or someone if you have no idea who or what they are after all. Silver is for legends that are known but not all that remembered too well or is insignificant in the grand scheme of history itself but aren't really passed on or taught. Gold cards however are the real deals, the legends everyone knows about in one way or another. Perfect examples are, as Boomstick said the King of Heroes, The Holy Maiden, Excalibur and of course the legendary serial killer of London, Jack the Ripper."

"Huh, reminds me of that old Yu-gi-oh card game." Eren muttered to himself, as Armin and Jean nodded, remembering one of the many childhood items, games and all they used to play back in those days.

Days when everything was so much simpler and the worse, they had to worry about was late homework and bad grades. Not having to deal with crazed terrorist doing terrorist things or whatever it is they do, a cult intent on bringing all kinds of living death upon them all and now a new world teeming with monsters lead by an immortal bitch, ancient magical relics and super powered defeneders using the power of the soul. Thinking about all this, made the green eyed man sigh to himself.

"Fuck me, i miss the days when i was just a brat."

Me too buddy, me too.

Nevertheless, it made a lot of sense.

Everyone was silent, absorbing the knowledge of how the Card system worked and what it meant, as the screen went back to Jack, as Wiz begin to explain.

"Now, back to how this affects Jack herself, it affects her ability on the battlefield. In her legend, Jack killed only prostates at night in the London fog. Now, while that it up for debate if she actually killed them during the times, it was foggy, what can't be denied is that she killed only women."

"Very brutality i might add, tearing their guts and stomachs out just because they wouldn't be her mom. Damn, i would if only to avoid getting my stomach turned inside out." Boomstick shivered at the thought of getting Ripped.

"Yes." Wiz rolled his eyes, as he went on, "Well, the point is that Jack is strong Assassin as far as Assassin class Servants go and she is better at night, against a female enemy. Seeing as she could generate the fog on her own, meeting the other two parameters are met, she is at her full strength. Not to say that her master doesn't give her enough power as it is, just that meeting these parameters more or less, gives her a boost to her ability to fight."

"So, good to know even Annie and Mikasa would have a hard time fighting her." Reiner suddenly said, getting some chuckles from the rest of the team, very few could take on the two 'monsters' of the 104th. With Annie having her crystal skin mutation and Mikasa with her Ackerman bloodline, it made the two females as dangerous as Levi.

"Send a monster to fight a monster, eh?" Ymir teased the small blonde, who as always said nothing, even if Armin looked a bit flustered on his wife's behalf but said nothing. Annie was more than capable of taking care of herself and if need be, she would beat both Reiner and Ymir if they pissed her off enough for her to unleash her tightly controlled anger.

Forgot diamonds, crystal punch's hurt like a motherfucker!

"So, what blondie and Ackerman some sort of super solider than?" Roman questioned, "Cause i saw captain Levi fighting that Kenny guy and even as a huntsman, I could barely keep up with either of them?"

"Something like that." Armin said, not wanting to expose his wife's little secret. As part of the job description, Annie's statues as a mutant and what she could do we're keep under wraps from people like the MRD and more importantly, keep secret from organizations like FOH (Friends Of Humanity) and other purity groups like them.

Even if they were making moves against his boss and the rest of the Avengers but nothing too violet.

Yet.

"Each Servant has something to bring to the table with their own unique and dangerous abilities in their own right." Wiz spoke, "But here's the thing, a Servants main weakness is their master."

"Yeah, if the master bites the dust, then a Servant will too." Boomstick said, as he took over explaining, "While yes there ARE ways for a Servant to stay alive after the master dies but all of them are pretty horrible. To be blunt, a Servant needs a constant supply of Mana in some shape or form to stay martialized in the world of the living. Some Servants can act independently from their master, while others are completely dependent on their master for mana to not only live but to survive as well."

"Like Karna, the son of the sun god Taiyōshin no Ko, the invulnerable hero of the Indian epic Mahabharat, as a hero on the vanquished side." Wiz introduced the hero, as the screen changed to show said man, "A Servant of the Lancer class, gold card, five star and very much worth having on your roster of Servants, despite some complications."

"Mostly his constant need for mana, his chivalrous and the fact he's a literalist."

"Literalist?" Both Ruby and Denki asked at the same time, as Weiss and Momo sighed in perfect union.

"Meaning, the man takes everything at a literary face value." Wiz defined, unknowingly answering the red/yellow duo's question.

"And that's not including that some Servants are, well, difficult to work with." Boomstick said, trying not to sound insulting but couldn't think of any other better word for it, "Some Servants are for a lack of a better word: Broken."

"That is a good word for it Boomstick." Wiz nodded at his co-host, "In a Holy Grail War, a wish is offered to the victory, and some are very, very, VERY desperate to get that wish that they will do ANYTHING to get it."

"That's not including that some Servants are a bit, well crazy and delusional too." Boomstick said, as the screen brought up the images of Phantom of the Oprea and Kiyohime, "Like these two. Well, mostly Phantom these days, as Xero did the one thing you shouldn't do: Stick your dick in crazy but remarkable, it actually knocked some sense into the dragoness. Makes you wonder if all these crazy girls just need some dick to be just, well not be crazy. I mean, it worked out pretty well for Xero and most yandere's don't get dick and they're still crazy. So, maybe he's onto something."

"Wait, seriously?!" Sun yelled, shocked that the black-haired teen would break the most sacred rule known to all men. Don't stick your dick in crazy. Seriously not even Neptune would do that, and his best friend was known to sleep with anything that bat their eyelashes at him.

"That, Boomstick was nothing more than a combination of pure dumb luck and the fact Xero was drunk when he did her." Wiz said simply, as everyone could see Boomstick raise his eyebrows.

"But i thought old Reeps couldn't get drunk."

"He can't, well at least not the normal way, as this was HIS version of getting drunk. Namely 14 days, seven hours, 33 seconds of being awake and hitting Shuten's personal stash of alcohol."

"Yikes and i thought all night gaming, while drinking Coke-Cola was bad for you." Boomsticked winced at the picture painted in his head.

"How the hell can he stay up that long?" This came from the visitors from Japan, unable to believe how long Xero stayed awake, they knew good work ethic was a good thing to have but staying awake for fourteen days?

That's just insane!

"That's pretty common of my master." Olga sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose, "It's not that he's a workaholic, he's just got it in his head that he has to work harder than anyone else to keep everyone safe. Even back in our Chaldea days, he always had to go above and beyond what was expected of him, ignoring basic necessities like sleep and food."

"But thanks to his Yoma half, he can actually get away with it and not kill himself, plus it's come in pretty handy at times." Gudako chimed in, pointing out that some of her Oni-chan's habits weren't always out of some sense of needing to prove himself, to others or himself.

A perfect example being the time he was hunted down by the Inquisition with Hugo and Amicia. After all, it was kind of hard for anyone to sleep, when the time you slept is the very time when bloodthirsty rats came out to eat anything and everything in their bloody path.

Who would have guessed that particular adventure would be a good test run to see what he could do with his Yoki alone?

"However, master's do get something to protect themselves and give their Servant a boost if need." Wiz said, as the screen changed to show the Command Seal's on Xero's arm, "In short terms, Command Spells or Command Seals are the three absolute commands the Master possesses which can be used in Battle. One Command Spell can be used to fully heal one Servant or increase their NP Gauge by 100%, while three Command Spells can be used to completely revive your Servants if need be."

"For the most part in a normal HGW, masters only get three Command Seals, as per Servant but this HGW was anything but normal." Boomstick said, as the screen changed again to show Xero's upper body, covered in Command Seals, "Due of the number of Servants he has summoned, Xero has more than fifty Command Seals. These Seals aren't just there to look cool or even command a Servant but are undeniable proof you are indeed a master and if things take a turn for the worst, these Seals can force a Servant to follow an order, whether they want to or not. If that wasn't enough, the Card system allows Xero one more unique ability only one HGW has ever seen."

"So that's how it is, that's how their doing it! How can i get those kinds of Seals?"

Various people thought to themselves, all having a new target and were scheming of ways to somehow steal the Seals for their own purposes.

Whether they wanted those seals to command the Servants for good (Ironwood, Winter, Theodore, team NDGO, Whitely) bad (Cinder, Mercury, Styker, Trask), for their own selfish gain (Blake, Weiss, Emerald), to support a cause (Seinna, Illa, Senator Kelly, Sleet) and just pretty everything in-between wanted those Seals to get their grabby hands on the Servants themselves, namely the key to controlling them.

That was just naming a few.

But it could wait, as they wanted to know more about the Servants.

"The Class cards." Wiz suddenly spoked, as the screen changed once again to show the cards in question, "These cards are artifacts created for the Ainsworth Holy Grail War, a system of summoning Heroic Spirits similar to Servants. Differing from allowing a Heroic Spirit to manifest, the cards encapsulate the Heroic Spirits and subsume their wills so that a magus can access their power for themselves, used by the participants of the Holy Grail War to fight amongst each other. For Xero and Gudako, they have used these Cards to turn the tides of fights many times and his most common used Card isn't what you would think."

"You'd think he would use Jeanne's Card, being a Ruler, a support type but nope. Xero doesn't use Jeanne's card too much but actually uses Jalter's Class Card, which is probably one of the reasons his future self-became an Avenger in the first place." Boomstick said with a shrug, as the screen changed again to show Xero having merged with Jalter.

Where's before his skin was a healthy pale, it looked exactly the same as the Avenger's, a moonlight pale with his long haired now turned sliver with black streaks rather than the sliver streaks, with dual-colored eyes of purple on the right and a twisted gold on the left. He wore what could only be described as a male version of the Avenger's outfit, with the metal headpiece and the woman's black cape hanging off his shoulders in a menacing stance with a wide, toothy grin on his face, twisting the spear in his hand.

"Now that's something you don't see every day." Hawks commented, as many nodded, with those closest to Xero or at least, seen him fight have seen this transformation before, so they weren't too surprised to see this form.

"It almost sounds like your Quirk, Tokoyami." The bird headed boy nodded at All Might's successor, idly as he looked at his clenching hands in front of him, thinking about Dark Shadow.

"If Lord Mazoku can do something like that, is it possible for me and Dark Shadow to do the same or something simliar?"

It was food for thought.

"Now these Class Cards are different from the ones used during the Ainsworth Holy Grail War, as the Heroic Spirit during that war weren't within the Cards themselves but these are." Wiz said, as the screen showed the same image, only Xero now wearing Jalter like a second skin, went off, killing several Nazi soldiers with no mercy in his attacks, "Think of it like this, Xero is now using Jalter's power and Servant body as his own. She was basically in the back seat of the car, while Xero was in the driver's seat steering the wheel. This is proof of how deep their bond is and to actually merge not only their bodies but their souls as well, with no secrets between them is the deepest level of trust a master and Servant can have in one another."

"Yeah, with the two merged, Xero can directly power Avenger's power to the fullest and Jalter doesn't have to worry about protecting him during the battle, since the two are now one." Boomstick said, as the screen keep playing, "Thanks to the years of trust built up between the two, one can easily call Xero and Jalter the ultimate tag team."

Trust.

A one syllable word that may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things and it didn't even sound very important but that the word "Trust" was the latch key to everything. That one word alone has caused the rise and fall of the world's largest empires throughout history and have gotten the very best, heroes and villains alike, to die.

It was something Gudako mused on from time to time but seeing the look on everyone's faces, they were slowly beginning to realize just how important that one little word truly was.

The deeper the trust between master and Servant was, the better you fight.

That was simple fact.

"One that Cinder woman clearly doesn't understand or doesn't care to understand."

Gudako was not blind to the mocking and angry looks the black-haired woman sent their way, once certain topics like trust and how their powers worked via bloodlines were brought up. She knew her type, the arrogant, spoiled, high than thou person with a stick up her ass, believing she earned everything coming her way and was willingly to go about the worst way possible to gain what she wanted.

Just because she suffered a little.

"What happened to you i wonder? Mommy didn't give you enough hugs, daddy didn't give his little princess what she wanted, when she wanted?"

It wasn't her style to mock people like this most of the time but like her Oni-chan, she LOVED putting people like her in her place, tearing down their deluded beliefs and forcing them to face cruel reality.

Again, this wasn't what she normally liked to do but people like Cinder just rubbed her the wrong way and the amount of evil shit they would willingly do to get what they wanted made her sick to her stomach.

"Now, that all sounds like it's one hell of a deal." Wiz said, as the screen changed back to show Jack once more, "And normally you'd be right. You get powerful, loyal bodyguards that will protect you like their life depends on it-"

"Because it does!" Boomstick interrupted, as Wiz keep going, ignoring the remark.

"And while it does, that doesn't mean the summoning doesn't have draw backs." Wiz finished, as the screen changed to show Jack creeping on Xero's sleeping form in his room within Chaldea, "Because some Servants, are, well..." He trailed off trying to find the right word but was once again interrupted by his co-host.

"A whole lot of them are batshit crazy and if my ex-wives have taught me anything, it's that there is no limit to crazy."

"The good kind of crazy or bad kind?" Tony asked his adopted daughter, who stayed silent, much to his slowly growing horror.

"Yeah, that." Wiz sighed, as that was the best way to put it, the screen still showing Jack slowly creeping on a sleeping Xero, knife in hand, "Once again, a perfect example of this is Jack the Ripper. As mentioned before, having lived on the streets and desperately searching for her mother, Jack has brutally killed many women in her search and as her master, Xero had to take the role of her mother. Even if he is a guy, like Artoria and Mordred, gender means nothing to Jack, and her mother is her master. Because of this fact alone, many Magus aren't compatible with Jack, as many would deny her the love she sought and end up killing them within a day. But Xero was able to pass all of Jack's qualifications and requirements to be her mother."

"But that doesn't mean he's completely safe from her deadly knives." Boomstick interjected, "In fact, he's more than likely to be on the receiving end of them, simply because in little Jack mind, the best way to show someone her gratitude is cut their stomach open and crawl in, not unlike Luke Skywalker crawling into his Tauntaun."

What?

"That is actually a very accurate description." Wiz said, supporting Boomstick's words, "Jack is by no means an evil child, in fact, it's just that. She IS very much a child at heart and mind, despite actually being very smart, as stated before Jack has the mentally of a five-year-old with little to no morals. Not because she's evil but because she quite literally does not know any better. She doesn't feel sympathy or remorse for those she kills, simply because it wasn't taught to her when she was younger and any kindness, any morals she might have had in her first life had been beaten out of her. No one was there for her from her 'birth'. No one taught her right from wrong, no one befriended her, no one to give her a home, no one to shield her from the cold, no one to shield her from the cruelty of the world she was born into and more importantly no one LOVED her. It is that very love she seeks so desperately that lead her to committing these acts, simply because she doesn't know what she has to do to earn love and therefore defaults to what she knows best."

"Killing." Bakugo of all people answered that unasked question, with an uncharacteristically serious face and felt a dash of sympathy for the young serial killer. Unlike most villains, this girl didn't choose to be a killer, she did what she had to in order to survive and as Wiz said, she didn't know any better. Even if he would never admit, Bakugo was thankful for the "Old Hag" and his father being there for him when he was born.

He didn't want to image what would have happened had he'd been orphaned like this girl.

Silently, Izuku was thankful for his own mother's love, having no idea what would have happened to him, a Quirk less boy in a world where's your Quirk determined how you were treated.

That was a lie.

Izuku knew EXACTLY what would have happened and he would have ended up similar or worse than Jack. Something worse like like Shigaraki.

"I really am a scaredy cat, like that girl and Mazoku said. I can't image what would have happened if i didn't have my own mother and father. Would i have ended up just like Ilia, Seinna or...Adam?"

Blake clenched her fist tightly, biting her lower lip in frustration at both those who mocked her and herself for her own cowardliness. As much as she hated to admit, those two had a point in calling her a coward and while that may be true, that didn't change the fact what Mazoku was doing is wrong! Besides, it may have been better to leave this Jack girl with Mazoku, while she took the lion earned Archer and Berserker with her, along with the other Faunus Servants when they left this place.

It didn't matter how well he supposedly treated them, if they had any pride as a Faunus at all, in this life or one of their many lives, surely, they would jump at the chance at having a Faunus master.

Right?

"Man, i am so glad mom raised me instead of Raven or else, i might have ended up a cowardly bitch like her."

Yang personally thanked her lucky stars that she was raised by Summer over Raven. Her egg donor probably would have left her for the Grimm at her first hindrance or first sign of weakness in some sort of deluded philosophy of "The weak die, the strong live" Bullshit.

Thank fuck Summer raised her.

"Maybe i should contact mom, dad and the rest of my sisters when this is over. Maybe i can ask the Curator to allow me to call them or even bring them here, still have to warn dad and the others about CA and the possibility of what my semblance is. Oh Brothers, i hope it's not Null."

Jaune thought to himself, tempted to bite his fingernail but held himself back. Not only was it a disgusting habit but if there was one thing, he'd learn over the course of watching these videos, it's that worrying was useless. The girls probably wouldn't like it, nor Saphron having to move from Argus with her wife Terra and their son, Adrian but it was most certainly better than then alternative.

Being used as human test subjects for a semblance designed to kill.

Maybe he should just ask the Curator to bring them all here and now, save him the trouble of having to explain something that is beyond far-fetched and beyond the realm of being believable unless being shown cold, hard proof of it. The irony that this all started because he wanted to a huntsman and to be the very thing that doomed his family in the Null world was not lost to Jaune.

"I just hope Dad is willingly to listen to reason and accept Xero-sensei's help."

His father might be a proud man with a stubbornness streak to match but Nichols Arc would protect his family above all else, even if that meant losing his pride in the process.

Pride was worthless if everything you hold dear is gone after all.

"She's just like me. Could i... could i have ended up like her?"

It was a sobering thought for Emerald, looking at what could have essential happened to her if she had played her cards wrong. One wrong move and the green haired girl could have become just another dead body, rotting away in the alleyways of Vacuo with no one the wiser for it. Grouping up as a street rat and having to do just about every bad thing under the hot sun to survive had left Emerald bitter and hateful of just about everyone.

She was especially hateful of those who were born with everything like Schnee and Mazoku.

If she understood it right, in the Magus world blood was everything as it decides how you we're treated, you're standing and even magical ability, mostly depending on how many of these so called "Magic Circuits" you had, whatever that meant. If you didn't have half of what Mazoku had, you were treated like she was back in her younger days. Worthless trash that would amount to nothing and be nothing to everyone.

But that was beside the point, as for a moment, a very brief moment, Emerald felt like she had some sort of kinship with the young serial killer before cold logic washed over her thoughts.

That girl would and tear her body to shreds without a second thought if she dared to threaten her beloved "Mommy".

Even if Jack was the kind of person Cinder would have loved to recruit, it was clear she was devoted to the teenager, who was clearly their enemy. Part of Emerald wonder if it was possible to turn their girl to their side. Unlikely to happen but maybe it could be done, she just needed to find the right motivation is all. Everybody wanted something and to secure someone's loyalty, it was to give them what they wanted.

Simple enough.

"Being a whiny brat?" Boomstick asked in what sounded like a joking manner, trying to lighten the mood but Wiz answered him in a far more serious tone that destroyed his attempt.

"Ripping and killing everyone." Wiz said, cutting off any chance of humor in the current situation, "Despite being an Assassin, Jack is one of his strongest Servants he has in his deck, at least as far as Assassin's go and with the likes of Gilgamesh and Scathath, that's a very high bar to reach, let alone met in their own right. These two are arguable part of the top ten Servants you can get but in his entire roster of summoned Servants, these two AREN'T the most powerful."

"What Wiz is talking about is pure power wise, as very few can stand up to Gilgamesh instant kill move, 'Throw All Manner Of Weapons At You Without Stopping' and the Queen of Shadow's pointy spears or even Emyia's ridiculous power to copy other NPs in sword form with no chance of stopping. Nope, none of these Servants stack up to the pure, raw power of...THIS GIRL!"

The screen changed to reveal, Tamamo No Mae!

Huh?

Everyone titled their heads at the sudden appearance of the Fox Maiden on screen

"Her?" Sam brows furrowed, squinting his eyes at the fox, "But isn't she a Caster?"

"Allow me to explain, reading from TYPE-MOON, to explain her background as her true power is the result of her own actions. Wiz said, getting everyone to quiet down, as he pulled out a pair of obliviously joke glasses. It was a pair of oversized green glasses that got some chuckles from the viewers, as he spoke, "Tamamo-no-Mae is a soul originating directly from the sun goddess Amaterasu as a Divided Spirit and therefore a higher order of being than the Earth Spirit of myth. Her manifested form is actually a Yakanjackal (野干ジャッカル?), who suffers the fate of bearing cursory resemblance to a Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit . She is also frequently mistaken for an Uka no MitamaWP, or one of the many fox spirit messengers under the employment of Inari Ookami Regarding her background, she became curious about the lives of her worshipers, whose seemingly inconsequential lives were a source of fascination. Most perplexing was their devotion toward a deity with no name or shape. At first, she wanted to scold these creatures for their weakness, and enact divine retribution upon evil-doers as was wont of the kin of a goddess. However, as she continued observing the human condition, she learned of their great capacity for perseverance. Able to smile in happiness despite the dark acts of their brethren or their frail stature, one generation could easily shrug off the regrets of the last and continue to love. Tamamo-no-Mae soon desired to become a human so that she could experience these emotions. She then relinquished her divinity and memories to reincarnate, as a young human girl, in the old province of Izumo. Her childhood name while alive was Mizukume (藻女?).As a child, she was said to be the human form of a white-faced, gold-furred nine-tailed fox. At the age of eighteen, she started serving the court of Emperor Toba, who had fallen in love with her at first sight. She became a court lady and called herself Tamamo-no-Mae. She would be his lady-in-waiting under her current name and was his favorite, possessing great beauty and knowledge. However, her divine origins would eventually be her undoing. One morning, her head had sprouted fox ears; she managed to conceal them for a month. From there, the exact accounts vary, but what is clear is that she was exposed as a fox by an Onmyouji. By her accounts, it was Abe-no-Seimei, who had been investigating the cause of Toba's mysterious illness. Whether or not Mizukume led the emperor on or their love was real is uncertain, and countless tales of the matter had differing answers.

"She fled from the inner sanctum of the Imperial Court. They sent hounds after her, and it was the first time in Japan that a fox had been hunted by Hounds. She fled and cried in the fields of NasuWP (那須?) because she was hunted by those who claimed to love her. Foxes gathered around her, saying things like "you have come a long way", and "what a rough journey you had". She wished the foxes to understand her feelings and hoped they would encourage her. It was then she realized who she truly was when the fox comforted her, stating "aah, what a fool I was". She was betrayed and hunted by the humans who feared her. She did nothing wrong, she only tried to help them prosper. She was forced to flee the village simply because she was not human. Her infamy grew at the plains of Nasu after fleeing from the court, where she met an eighty thousand man army that was dispatched at the behest of the retired emperor to kill her. The soldier came screaming "kill the fox demon!", and she tried to apologize to them but nobody listened. She fought back, yelling "all right, let's do this!", and killed everyone. During the second encounter against the force, she regretted her actions and tried to reason with them. It rained arrows for three straight days and night and nothing seemed to click with them. Standing in a hail of arrows covered in blood, she cried "I was not trying to fool anyone. I'll leave now so please just forget all about me." The assault continued from the humans who were filled with hatred, and she realized humans were fragile and their lives were precious. They were narrow minded, filled with hatred and self-righteousness. She was wrong from the beginning, much like the humans and religion. Her perspective influenced her belief. Even though a goddess, she was a fool and she didn't realize her mistake until her final moments. No matter how much humans respect God, and through priesthood try to understand and be one of them, their efforts are wasted. "There is no way for a human to become a god", Tamano no Mae died screaming when shot by an enchanted arrow. She was hunted and killed as an enemy of mankind. She doesn't want revenge because there are things that even a goddess can't do. She was killed trying to defend herself against an army of 80,000 soldiers sent by the emperor. Her corpse was said to have become the Killing Stone (殺生石, Sesshō-seki?), which released a problematic cursed poison that killed approaching people and animals until it was shattered by the monk Gennou Shinshou (源翁心昭, Gennō Shinshō?) and its fragments dispersed to three places in Japan named TakadaWP. Furthermore, the remnants that were scattered at that occasion became Osaki Kitsunes and Inukamis and said to have been turned into familiars by many Magus from various places. She cannot be called a human-spawned Heroic Spirit as the facet of a goddess, but she willingly embraces the role in order to "become a good wife." Accepting the limits inherent in the role of a Servant, many of her original powers have been sealed away. Even before becoming a servant, she killed untold numbers of people, possibly holding the world record for murder."

Those visitng from Japan all felt shame at how the true origins of Tamamo No Mae were layed bared for all to hear and all the deaths she caused was nothing more than a case of self defense. It sounded an awful lot like how when mutants reveal themselves, certain groups made it a point to not only to kill them but made sure they suffered for it, no matter what they did.

Even if most were indeed innocent, many would take the hunters side simply because they weren't 'human'. Little wonder why Lord Mazoku or any Magus and mutant alike did not want to reveal themselves publicly, when history clearly stated that they would die a horrible, painful death.

History was written not by good people but by the winners and wether they were good or not is irrelevant.

Wiz paused, taking a deep breath as folded his massive glasses away, as Boomstick spoke up, "Now, what the hell does all that have to do with her being the strongest Servant in Xero's rooster?"

"Yeah, i understand some of her powers being sealed due to her being a Servant but i don't understand how she's so dangerous, aside from her fluffy tails and ears." Spider-Man said, titling his head to the side, "Is it one of those things were 'knowldge is power' kind of things or is it those fluffy tails, cause they look real comfy?"

"Probably." Logan took a swing of his beer, before saying more, "From what i can understand spider, is that a mage's power comes from their knowledge and those magic circuit things."

"Well, its actually pretty simple." Wiz said, "While Gligamesh, Artoria and Merlin are some of Xero's top Servants in terms of power and skill, Tamamo is not whole."

"What?"

"Eh?" Most of the aduicnce argeed with Boomstick.

"You see, the this universe, Magus can summon Servants and some of those Servants have alteritve versions of themselves. Jeanne has her Avenger self, Artoria has her Altered self, Gilgamesh Archer has the older, Caster verison of himself, Iskander has his younger version also a Rider, heck even Elizabeth Bathory has not only several different class versions of herself, she has an older version known as Carmilla, the Blood Countess." Wiz explained, as the screen showed the vairous Servants mentioned before rolling back to the Fox, "Not only does she have a mirrior that can be used to ressurect the dead and is an anti world noble phantasm; even though its actually sealed and she uses it as a magic fuel, Tamamo isn't at her full power. That's because her power was split among the 'Tamamo Nine', namely among her altered versions: Tamamo Cat, Tamamo Lancer, Tamamo Vitch, Tamamo Gucci, Tamamo Delmo, Tamamo-no-Hime and Tamamo Aria. Though as far as we know, only the original, Cat, Lancer and Vitch can be summoned."

"Not that is matters, as in Tamamo's final ascension form, she has FIVE of her tails, so if we count it off, Cat and Lancer have one tail each and Vitch has TWO tails, which makes nine." Boomstick counted off on his fingers, "If this willy fox were to absorb these three, she would regain her full Nine Tails Fox power and by her own admission, she is a terrible demon that if she regains her full power, she could destroy the Multiverse."

"SAY WHAT?!

Many looked to Gudako in shock, as the redhead merely shrugged, "It's true, i think. We haven't really looked too much into it, as Oni-chan only addressed how dumb she was acting, thinking that we would hate her for that fact she's so strong or even a demon. Seriously, Oni-chan befriended and even fucked two Oni's, i don't think much can faze him anymore."

"Perhaps it is for the best that the Curator sent Jacques/Adam away."

Both Ironwood and Seinna thought at the same time, completely unaware they were on the same wavelength. James knew that, despite what many believed, Jacques did in fact not hate Faunus just because they had an extra pair of appendages but because of the White Fang's actions against his company. The fact they were so easy to exploit and did not fit into his narrowed world view only justified his actions.

But if the man had heard just how powerful this Tamamo was claimed to be, then he would do everything in his power to be rid of her or control her. An action he was certain that Xero would take personal and make it his personal mission to destroy everything the man held dear.

This train of thought went through Seinna's mind, as Adam would never allow someone as powerful as Tamamo get away with her "treachy to her own kind". Even if she actually was some sort of demon or Oni or whatever she called herself, she looked like a Faunus. A Faunus with extra features but a Faunus never the less and many of Adam's followers would lap up whatever he said and cause a new war to break out because of his bruised pride and ego. She couldn't let it happen and knew she would have to deal with him.

The sooner the better.

After all the revelations and truth bombs dropped one after another, had already drained every one of their complaints, as they all quietly sat back down, waiting for the next truth bomb to be dropped on their heads.

And they did not have to wait for long.

"Now, while this is all well and good, the one thing that is common for ALL masters suffer is the 'Dreaming cycle." Wiz spoke, as the screen changed to show Xero, alseep but sweating badly, twisiting and turning in his sleep, "To be blunt, masters and Servants can actually share dreams, even memories with one another. Because of the bond shared between the two, the deeper the bond is, the more memories you will see further into the Servants memoires and the more you suffer."

"To be even more blunt, both Xero and Gudako have had a front row, first person perpestcive of their Servants life." Boomstick said, as he gestured to Xero's sleeping form, "From their first steps, to their teenage years, to becoming a legend and more importantly, how painful it is to die via being BURNED to death and betrayed by the people you swore to save or pretty much every horrible death any legend has suffered. That's not even including being stabbed, poisoned, beaten to death, arrows ripping through his flesh, ripped in half, left to rot in prison for a crime he did not commit, slit throat and pretty died every single death possible a hundred times over that would leave anyone screaming bloody murder in the middle of the night, sweating like a dog on a hot summer day."

As predicted Xero shot out of his bed, gripping his sheets, eyes wild as he looked around for non-exist enemies.

"And I just want to throw this out here, Xero summoned the Queen of Victory, Boudica and since he can see into her past from a first-person perspective." Boomstick said slowly, a frown on his face, "The deeper the bond, the more memories he see's and seeing as he reached max bond level, that means Xero had basically been in Boudica's place when the Roman's not only invaded her homeland but burtally raped her and her daughters. Yeah, you know Wiz, after hearing this, i don't think i want to summon a Servant."

Neither did anyone else for that matter.

Many were horrified at this tab bit of information, as Tony had once again found himself gritting his teeth so hard that they long since should have broken but by some miracle, they didn't. He wasn't angry at his son, no, once again he found his anger directed at himself for being unable to help his son, or his daughter, as she might have been through something similar.

Maybe worse.

"Oh god i really hope not."

"Yet despite all that, the kid still keeps going, keeps pushing on and managed to keep some of his sanity intact." Roman lowed his hat in respect towards his new boss, "Got to give the kid respect for that."

Neo nodded in agreement, while she herself had never been raped before, the act left a bad taste in her mouth. Hey, she might be a killer and sadiest but rape is a whole different kind of dark shit, she would not touch with a ten foot poll.

"It is impressive." Ozpin nodded in agreement with the criminals, gaining raised eyebrows from the duo, "You forgot, Mr. Touchwick, that Lord Mazoku and Lady Stark are not the only ones to have 'died' sevearl times. Not all of them were clean, as many were, as the childern would say, very bloody."

"You've died before?" All Might asked in shock at the older man, "Forgive my rudness but i find that hard to believe, Mr. Ozpin."

"It's quiet alright." The headmaster waved it off, "My situation is indeed different from these two, but i have died many times myself and i would prefere to wait till this over to explain why that is. But rest assured, i know what it's like to die in many horrible ways and more than once, i myself felt like i would go insane from the endless cycle of death. It is not an easy thing to shoulder, espically when you are alone but it seems Lord Mazoku and Lady Stark are very fortune to have people their, by their side to help them through it. It does help to talk to someone about the experince, as i have found myself rarely doing but when i can, it is very lighten to my own heart and burdern."

"Just how 'fortune' did you get Ozpin?"

Glynda wondered to herself worryingly. Despite all that had happened, all the secrets and lies that had been exposed, it did not change the fact Ozpin did everything in his power to keep humanity (And Faunus-kind) moving forward against Salem and the darkness of the Grimm with no help for the first of his reincarnations.

It was a wonder why Ozpin wasn't driven to insanity due to the viciuous cycles of death and rebirth, but it made the blonde truly wonder if Ozpin was as fine as he protrayed himself or like his self in the Null vesion of Remnant.

Seeing an end in sight and willingly to do everything in his power to ensure Xero ended Salem once and for all.

"And it should be noted that because of this, Xero often doesn't kill rapist." Wiz suddenly said, "Hell, he doesn't hurt any of them more than he has to...at least, not psychically. You see, sometime after escaping Junko's death game and learning some of her illusions magic, Xero developed a new illusion spell he calls 'Demonic Veil' Illusion. An illusion that attacks all five senses and makes a person feel like they are really under attack, even if they are perfectly alright out in the real world. Meaning Xero can repeat the process as many times as he wants, until the victim is driven to madness and those criminals get sent to an asylum."

"Might seem cruel but it's either that, he kills them or the rapist in question either goes to jail or gets off scoot free to rape again." Boomstick said, not feeling sorry for those types of people, "But that only for the worst type of rapist though. The ones that brutally kill their victims to keep them silent or worse, those who rape little kids. Meh, if they didn't want this, then they shouldn't have done it in the first place, so i say, fuck them. The fact those that rape kids are 'well liked in prison' by both guard and other prisoners, that might actually be more merciful than being sent to prison. Honestly, this could have been avoided if they didn't do it in the first place, so i can see why Xero does it. It's their own fault for doing it in the first place and now they have to suffer the consequences for them."

"But isn't that what's prison is for? To make the regret and preventing these kinds of crime from happening again?"

Many thoughts but opted to keep their mouths shut on the subject, knowing full well it would lead nowhere, not even the heroes felt like they had any place to say. Xero was clearly committed to this path, not because he thought he knew better like most teenagers, but because he KNEW the pain of rape.

He had seen it, felt it, through Boudica's memories if these scenes are to be trusted. Truth be told, the more they learned, the more horrfied they became at what they were seeing and those who wanted a Servant, were slowly turning away from the idea.

Something just weren't worth the sheer amount of pain needed to acquire it!

Plus, as much as they hated to admit, crime HAS gone down since the Reaper appeared, cowing criminals into submission, acting like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. Crude and ruthless but very effective.

Argue all you want but people like results and Xero gets results.

"Regardless, all the Servants have lived lives before and some of them have been broken mentally and i do mean BROKEN." Wiz said in a grim tone, "As we have already seen one such Servant, Jack, there are sadly more. One of them being the Valkyrie, Brynhildr, who's Noble Phantasm is not only powerful, but it's cursed, by Odin himself, her with the compulsion to KILL those she loves. The more she loves them, the more her curse will try to force her to kill her beloved."

"Yes, she has tried to kill Oni-chan, several times and thankfully failed." Gudako said simply, as many turned to her, "While the curse is still in effect, we managed to find a way around it, despite the fact Oni-chan is still looking for a way to break Odin's curse and if all else fails, we ask Thor to take us to Asgard, then get old bready to break the curse. Simple."

"But thanks to careful wording and use of the Command Seals, old Reeps was able to stop the Valkyrie's impulse to kill him every second of every day. Man, the All-Father is a damn dick." Boomstick commented, making many agree with him on that part.

"And that's not even including some of the Servants who actually fought over who gets their master's soul when he dies." Wiz said, shocking everyone, "No seriously, this is not a joke. Jalter, the four Valkyrie's and Ereshkigal. Honestly, the only reason why Ereshkigal hasn't wisked Xero to the underworld yet, is because of the 'Rin' in her keeping her in check."

"And that's not including the yandere Servants consiting of Shuten Douji, Kiyohime, Mash, Brynhildr, Ushiwakamaru, Jack, Hassan of the Sereinty, Jalter, Minamoto no Raikou and Artoria Alter Lancer." Boomstick said, with complete confidence in his voice.

"Artoria Lancer Alter?" Wiz however voiced his confusion, raising an eyebrow at his co-host, "How do you figure that?"

"Besides the fact she once stabbed Shirou in one timeline?" Boomstick question, as he falred his arms, "Look at her Wiz, why would she wear such a flashy outfit if she wasn't a yandere?" He spoke, as the woman's image came on screen, getting a lot of hot faces, hard on's and drool from a certain pair of perverts.

"Gudako, is this true?" Pepper asked, worry falling over her again, as the redhead sighed at her adopted mom's worry. She hated making her worried but knew that she had to tell the truth, even if it would scare her even more than stricly nesscary.

"Yes, mama but don't worry, we've got a handle on it. Besides," Gudako grinned as she presented her with her own Command Seals, "that's what these are for. Please, trust us when i say, we have it handled."

Pepper still looked worried but nodded, trusting her adopted daughter, as Tony stayed silent.

"Hell, not even in his dreams Xero is safe." Wiz said, as he begins to explain, "Long story short but more than once, he has been pulled into an astral plane of existence to fight otherworldly creatures or even pulled into one of his Servants dreams."

"Yep, and while having Servants is cool, Xero does have three unique magical abilities that he and he alone can use." Boomstick said, as the screen changed and show-

"Hey, it's you Mr. Curator!" Nora yelled, pointing at the screen that showed a younger Xero meeting the mysterious Curator for the first time, as the man in question smiled.

"Indeed, it is, Ms. Valkyrie."

"Indeed, known only as the 'Eight Trails of Magic' among the Magus who still believe in the Goddess of magic, is a test for those to see if they are still 'worthy' of their magic." Wiz spoke, "Basically, think of it as a way for Magus to prove themselves that they are indeed worthy of their magic by surviving without it, thus proving they are indeed worthy of it. Odd way of showing it but okay. We don't know all the details but what we do know, it begin sometime after the Goddess of Magic, Lady Magic, stripped magic from most of humanity and leaving only a select few with magic, inbeuting them with the magical nervers needed to wield magic. While it has been debated that if she actually created these trails or not, Xero does believe it. Hell, his mother was one of the few selected that had taken trails of her own but only completed two, as he's completed three. The one overseeing them is the omniscient voyeur and recorded of the Multiverse's stories, The Curator."

"Yeah, the guy that looks like he walked out of the 1800's era." Boomstick joked, as he turned serious, "Though much like the Trails themselves, it's unclear WHY this guy is the one overseeing them or what he truly is. All we known for certain is this: The Curator is timeless, recording stories of life and death in his own small section of a vast repository containing every story ever told. He's been doing it for thousands of years, he supposes, but he can't remember when he started, or whether there was ever a beginning to what he does. But now, for reasons that he can't quite understand, he's been given the opportunity to talk to somebody. Those who are take the Trails. He knows that there are 'rules'. He's not supposed to interfere, but he's excited, and can get a little carried away. He has seen things that the player has probably missed. Important things. But he's not permitted to tell them what these things are…directly. So, he drops hints where he feels he can, in the hope that it will help the person in question will recognize his brilliance in hindsight. But don't expect him to be straightforward. His hints can be somewhat cryptic and quiet frankly fustrating as hell. God do i hate puzzles and cryptic words, they makes my brain hurt."

"Is that true?" Summer asked the Curator, as the man nodded in confromation.

"Indeed." He replied solomenly, "I cannot remember a time i haven't been in this vast libary, watching, recording and counting the endless number of stories i have seen over these many years. Do not feel sorrow for me, Mrs. Rose, perhaps this is simply my fate, perhaps i was chosen for this position and i was someone much different in another lifetime. Do i wonder who or i was before i became The Curator? Yes. But i do not dwell on it, as that would change nothing and i have had a long time to accept that this is who i am now. It is not all bad but i would like to move this along."

Summer nodded, unable to stop herself from feeling sorrow for the man before her but said nothing.

Not like she could do anything about it.

"Yes, well while there are eight trails, Xero has so far completed three of them, gaining three unique abilities. Two passive and one for offesnive."

TRAILS OF MAGIC ABILITIES

-Illusion Breaker

-Precognition

-The Voice

"The first two are pretty self-explanatory." Wiz said, as it showed Xero slowly weaving his way through fire, only for him not to get burned by it, "Illusion Breaker is a passive skill that allows Xero to see through any type of illusion."

"The only expectation being Junko's Dream weaving illusion, the highest form of illusion magic, but that's a spell is in a league of its own." Boomstick said, unknowingly making a certain green haired girl freeze up.

"He can see through illusions."

That was all that was going through Emerald's mind, feeling like someone dropped ice water on her head. No, no, no, no, no! This can't be happening, this can't be happening, this can't be happening! There's no way that rich prick can have all these powers and skills, and STILL have one that can render her semblance useless!

It can't be!

There is no way life would be this cruel to her! If she couldn't use her illusions against the teen, then how the hell was she supposed to be able to beat him and prove herself to Cinder?! Why oh, why does he have to be the prefect counter to her soul's power?! Why did he even exist at all?!

"IT'S NOT FAIR!"

"Dream weaving? Is that the spell we saw berfiely when boss killed the fake Tamamo?" Armin asked, unaware of Emerald's inner tourmil and fear of disappointing her beloved mistress. Gudako nodded, as Olga spoke up.

"Yes. Dream Weaving is one of the most difficult and hardest spells to master for any Magus, even for one who has a magic origin that is based around illusions like Junko. That makes her all the more dangerous, as it is nigh impossible to break out of the Dream illusion."

"A person can fight pain but not happiness." Tony repeated slowly to himself, whom this time felt like he was being dunked in ice water. The feeling of uselessness coming back to the fourtate of his mind as he shook his head.

"No. Stop that, the past is the past and nothing can be changed. All you can do now, is help your son and daughter move forward."

That was all a father could ever do, no matter how much it galled at his pride and beliefs that anything can be achived through the use of technology.

"There is one thing I'm still confused about." It was actually Ember who said this, as Gudako looked to the large dragoness, as she spoke, "What kind of beef did this Junko have with my little brother-in-law? From what my dear little sister has told me, Junko actuallty tried to break him before she killed him. I understand human siblings fight often but i do not believe it would go that far."

"It's complicated." Were all the redheads said, knowing it would be easier for Boomstick and Wiz to answer it for her, as not even her Oni-chan fully understood it.

"His second ability is known as Precognition, another passive ability but one he can actively ignore if he had too." Wiz said, as he went into detail, "This ability allows Xero to see events of the past but only if he's in close proximity of the events. The land itself remembers all that has happened, and this ability allows Xero to view them like he was watching a video recording."

"While a pretty cool thing to have, it does have its draw backs." Boomstick cut in once more, "Namely, feeling phantom pains of the events like HE was the one experincing them. The closer he is, the greater the pain he feels, even though it mostly depends on just what happened. Damn, if i had an ability like that, i would most certainly not walk by a brutal crime scene, i like not having my body stabbed or shot at thank you very much."

"An interesting yet oddly specific ability." Ironwood mused to himself, finding the ability of Precognition something that could be very useful. It was a shame that this ability could not be taught, it would certainly help CSI's.

"His final ability is a lot more dangerous than the first two and is anything but passive." Wiz said, as the screen changed to show Xero taking a deep breath in, "This is an ability that has been lost for centuries known as, The Voice."

"FUS-RO-DAH!"

With a mighty shout, the shadowed enemies Xero was fighting was suddenly pushed back by an invisible force, or prehaps an Unrelenting Force.

"Oh!" Ruby suddenly perked up, recognizing the ability, "Have, we've seen him use that move before! On the bridge against Minne!"

Many all nodded, rememebering the freighting ability his future self has used, as Cinder narrowed her eyes, leaning forward, wanting to see just how troublesome this ability would be.

"The Voice, according to legend," Boomstick, like Wiz had done before, took out a pair of comical oversized glasses, put them on and started reading off his phone, "The Way Of The Voice is a philosophy regarding the use the thu'um, or the Voice (a form of Nordic magic). It was discovered in the fifth century of the First Era by Jurgen Windcaller, also known as the Calm, and its beliefs are so embedded in Nordic culture that some outsiders are left with the impression that the Voice and the Way of the Voice are synonymous terms. The main precept of the philosophy is that those who can wield the Voice should only do so in times of "True Need". Due to the rarity of times of "True Need" and the nonviolent lifestyles of the Greybeard monks (the most famous practitioners of the Way of the Voice), the philosophy is generally viewed to be one of pacifism, but in truth, the Way of the Voice teaches that using the thu'um for battle is merely "the least of its uses". From the dawn of time and throughout most of the Mythic Era, the dragons were the only creatures who could harness the power of their voice for great feats of magic, though they only did so in times of "True Need". But the dragons and their followers changed, and man, who had worshipped them, rebelled. The dragons began indiscriminately slaughtering them under the orders of Alduin, Firstborn of Akatosh, who had chosen to forsake his proper duties and conquer the land." Boomstick pasued, took a breath and countined on.

During this Dragon War, the dragon Paarthurnax took pity on the Nords (purportedly at the request of Kyne), and instructed several in the ways of the thu'um so that they could channel the power of their own voices using the tongue of the dragons. These first Tongues (masters of the Voice) used their new power to turn the tide of the war, and they eventually "shout[ed] Alduin out of the world". The remaining dragons were hunted and killed until they were nearly extinct, and the great Empires of Man were allowed to emerge. During the Skyrim Conquests around 1E 240, great Nordic war chiefs were also Tongues (Derek the Tall, Jorg Helmbolg, Hoag Merkiller, etc.). They needed no typical siege weapons when attacking a city, instead using the Voice to break down the city gate and allow their armies to storm in. Armed with the Voice, they were nearly unstoppable. However, the Nordic armies suffered an ignominious defeat at Red Mountain. The defeat greatly troubled the most powerful of the Tongues, Jurgen Windcaller. Jurgen meditated for seven years to "understand how Strong Voices could fail". Looking back on history, he realized then that the only strong voice is one which is used judiciously and with the goal of preserving the natural order, and he "chose silence". Thus, the Way of the Voice was born. When Jurgen began proselytizing this understanding to his fellow Nords, seventeen other great Tongues disputed him, and challenged him to combat to prove their point. It is said that Jurgen swallowed the Shouts of these Tongues for three days until they were exhausted. Afterwards, they acknowledged his superior skill and wisdom, and traveled with him to the highest slopes of the Throat of the World, where Jurgen set his new home, devoting it to the studies of the Way of the Voice as a philosophy of peace and inner balance. The monks devoted to this philosophy came to be called the Greybeards, who devote themselves to meditation at secluded High Hrothgar. The Greybeards have never been known to take up arms directly, but in the rarest of occasions, they will speak, and set great chains of events in motion. One such time was to announce the destiny of the great Tiber Septim, who united Tamriel into the Third Empire and later became Talos, the Ninth Divine. In 4E 201, the Greybeards spoke again to call the Last Dragonborn to High Hrothgar for instruction on the use of the thu'um." Boomstick sighed tiredly to himself, as he closed his phone and threw away the oversized glasses, "Fuck, i haven't had too talk that much since i divorced my bitch of an ex wife."

"Is it over?" Denki asked, looking like he was able to fall over, as one can see the metaphorical steam coming out of his ears, a clear sign his brain had not only been overloaded with information but learned so much, it overloaded and now it was on fire from overuse.

"Did anyone else get that?" Yang asked, nearly in the same boat as her fellow blonde, feeling her own head, as if it was about to explode from information overload.

"Good work Boomstick, truly you have impressed us all being able to read more than half of that and not fall alseep mid sentance." Wiz joked, as Boomstick nodded.

"Yea-" Then he narrowed his eyes, as Wiz's words finally regesntered in his head, "Hey!"

Laughter was heard of the result of Wiz's burn.

"Anyway," Wiz smirked, ignoring his steaming co-host, "Aside from Fu-Ro-Dah or Unrelenting Force, Xero has learned more words he can use."

The last one midn Ursula grunt in annoyance, as she knew full well what THAT word did, having experinced it first hand. While she was happy with how it turned out, her pride as a dragon was still brusied about the fact her mate used that damnable word against her to ground her.

"Ya know, when people said words have power, i don't think this is what they meant." Tony, reeling from everything he was learning, defaulted to his personal defense mechanism.

Smart assness and snark.

"So can anyone learn this?" Rhodey, being the brave one in asking the question everyone wanted to know, hoping they could learn this power themselves, only for Ember to dash their hopes.

"No." Clear, cut, right to the point and cold, "Back then, only those who studied for decades of theirs lives or those, whom we called Dragonborn, could learn this power, let alone master it. My little brother-in-law was simply lucky to discover this power down in those ruins, where's he and captain Levi with their squad fought off those vampires. Is that right, captain."

"It is." Levi nodded, "Like I've said before, we would have been fucked had it not been for Bright Eyes."

"Don't sell yourself so short captain." Gudako giggled, as the man glared at her for her unintential pun and crack at his height, barely able to stop herself from making another one, "You would have figured out what was going on sooner or later."

"Maybe but i not before a whole lot more of us died before then." Well, Gudako couldn't deny that Levi was right on that front. All the training in the world meant little in the face of experince and experince trumped training everytime.

"The first one, very clear, allows Xero to unleash a powerful force that can knock anyone caught in its way back." Wiz said, "Animal Allegiance is a shout for help from the beasts of the wild, who come to fight in your defense, Clear Skies causes the sky itself yields before the Thu'um, as you clear away fog and inclement weather. Disarm does pretty much what you expect, it defies steel, as you rip the weapon from an opponent's grasp and Dismay is for the weak, making his enemies fearful of the Thu'um, and flee in pure terror making it great for crowd control. Fire Breath is about what you expect, it allows Xero to inhale air exhale flame, and behold the Thu'um as inferno. Forst breath does the same, making his breath winter, you Thu'um a blizzard. Storm Call is one of his more dangeours shouts, as it is a Shout to the skies, a cry to the clouds, that awakens the destructive force of Lighting that would make Zeus proud. Marked For Death does the following, Speak, and let your Voice herald doom, as an opponent's armor and lifeforce are weakened, making them easier to kill and his final word is Dragonrend, a word that allows your voice to lash out at a dragon's very soul, forcing the beast to land, very useful against them."

"Damn and monks with gray beards learned how to do all of this?" Boomstick questioned, as Wiz nodded, "Welp, goodbye, i'm going to go to the high mountains and learn me some magic voice lessons."

"To think he was hiding all of this." Steve was blown away by all he was learning of his young friend. He knew Xero was hiding his true abilities but...but this?! Holy cow, this is a lot and did Gudako have similar abilities? And were they really able to help him or were they just slowing him down?

Both he and Gudako?

"I am so glad i opted to try and work with the kid, rather than fight him."

Never once in his entire life, did Fury feel happy he ignored most of the WSC orders. Making an enemy out of Mazoku for no other reasons, other than pure paranoia of an unknown person. Well, know they knew and were learning more but Fury can safely say that he was too dangerous to make an enemy out of. True, he was too dangerous to just let him roam free but having their interests a lined and partnership were well worth keeping.

His bosses would just have to deal with it and if they didn't like it, tough.

"Hmmm, some of those shouts would certainly be useful in taking down villains." Endeavor, despite his belief in power, even he could recognize tools that could be useful in talking down villains, especially that disarming one. How many times do villains cowardly took hostages and for all his power, hostage situations were very tricky to overcome, even for him.

No, in fact, it became even harder because he became involved did, they become more desperate and trigger happy.

"Indeed it can." Sir Nighteye rubbed his chin thoughtfully, wondering if there was any possiability of recreating such a move. It could prove to be invauble, able to relief villains of their weapons can turn the tide of battle and in turn, could save many lives.

Both hero and civilians alike.

"Man, hearing all this makes me feel like my own quirk is nothing but a lamer version of the little lister's voice power." Persent Mic hung his head in shame, feeling very outclassed. Sure, he can make high, loud picths but that was it. He couldn't banish fog away, unleash a powerful force of wind or even disarm people with just three words.

His quirk was good but it lacked the verstiality Xero's Voice ability had.

"Yes, well while all these abilities are very impressive and powerful in their own right, Xero still has a few minor spells he can use. Such as repair spells that have helped his reputaion as both a hero and person, seeing as he cleans up whatever mess he makes during his fights. Along with some mystic codes, runes taught to him by his teacher and even learned some of his families runes, plus with some spells he had learned from the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj mountain, like his magic to create portals to anywhere he wants too but without a sling ring." The screen changed to show Xero creating a blue/purple ring with two fingers and once he completed a circle, created a vortex like portal, "But magic isn't the only thing Xero weilds." Wiz said, as the screen changed again, to show his mother in their family armor, with golden, sitled eyes rather then her purple ones, veins more pronounced on her mature face. "Such as the abilities granted to him because of his Yoma bloodline and thanks to the blood Miria had given him to help stablize his DNA, saving his life, he was gained new abilities."

"Wait, wait!" Summer stood up, eyes wide, "You mean Xero can create portals like Ray?!"

"Well, yes but unlike your teammate, master can create portals to anywhere he wants to go, so long as he had a place in mind or been too it." Olga commented before pausing, "Plus he can create portals directly to anyone, whom bears his clan's mark." She looked at Levi, "I'd assume he already told you about that?"

"He did." The short captain confrimed, "Bright Eyes also said that he could sense when one of us was in danger, so he can get to us quickly. I assume that's also true?"

"It is."

"Incredible." Ozpin's eyes widen as he stared down at his mug, "Raven's semblance was a one of a kind but to hear someone else has something similar, even better then her's is simply unbelievable."

"Indeed." Ironwood muttered to himself, as one can see the gears turning in his head. Moving a large number of troops, equipment and everything else in-between was difficult and one of the things that made running a military hard, as sometimes it took too long to be done and by the time they got to a certain location, the fighting was over.

"If we had that power..."

Then their enemies wouldn't stand a chance. Sure, they might be beaten but using portals, they could get anyone they needed to out in an instant. Civilian, soldiers, CI's, VIP, huntsman, the possibilities were endless. Losing an outpost, town or city would be bad, it could be rebuilt.

Lives can't.

Judging from how badly the one who stole Fall's power, the anger radiating off, of her only confirmed Ironwood's thought process. Hell, all the leaders of both Remnant and Earth were clearly thinking along the same lines as him, from the looks of their faces.

"It's too bad Mazoku probably won't share this power with the rest of us."

Out of distrust and unwillingness to be a pawn for anyone, something a part of Ironwood could respect, even if the military leader in him, Mettle, disagreed with it.

"That power reminds me of that wired mist guy." Momo nodded at Mina's words, remembering how she and Jiro were suddenly transported to a completely different location during the USJ attack.

"Becoming a warrior was NOT easy for Xero, after his body begin to break down due to constantly Ray shifting, old Reeps needed to find a new stabilizer for his DNA structure to save himself from dying and thankfully, he could time travel. So, he went back in time to his first Ancestor, to get her blood to save himself but boy, did it hurt. After being injected with her blood, Xero suffered the worst pain he has ever felt in his life, feeling like his body was tearing itself apart as he undergoes the very, very painful process of becoming a Warrior. Now keep in mind he survived training under Scáthach, ones whose first day of training with her left him with several broken bones, torn muscles, aching joints and had to be carried back to his room after the first day. Which, by the way, he passed out from pure pain alone of the training, but it did help toughen up his skin and prepare him for the pain to come. But even THAT was nowhere as near as painful as the transformation with his new blood, old Reeps go off easy when he passed out from the pain."

Many winced, as Ruby felt herself pale in horror and fear at Boomstick's as the screen showed a younger Xero tightly clenching his fists so hard that he drew blood. His face was pale, paler then usual with viable veins growing across his face, looking to be a sickly purple as his eyes appeared to be glassily and unfocused, looking like he was on death's door. He looked like he was ready to kneel over and was only holding up due to sheer will power alone.

"Jesus H. Christ." Bucky eyes widen in horror, as did the rest of the Avengers, "Now THAT looks painful."

"It was."

"R-Ruby..." Her father, Tai swallowed hard as he looked at his second daughter, "...are you sure you want to become a Warrior, after seeing...this?" He loved her, he really did, and he most certainly didn't want to see her go through this kind of pain that it took to become a Warrior.

"I-i'm sure." Ruby nodded, despite her fear as she gave her father a weak smile, "No pain, no gain, right?" Even she was unsure if she could handle that amount of pain that would make you pass out, she had to try, right?

"Just because you think that you can handle it, the true test is not having the courage to do it, it's surviving."

Ruby's parents, sister, friends and the girl herself looked alarmed at Olga, as she flipped her hand behind her shoulder, "What? Did you think it would be that easy?"

"What do you mean?!" Yang yelled, standing up, eyes glowing red, "Could Ruby die if she becomes a Warrior?!"

"Back in the olden days, only a handful of recruits actually survived the transformation or at least, that's what Miria told us." Olga said simply, as she looked Ruby in the eye, "The choice is yours and while you have a much higher chance of surviving the transformation from human to hybrid, there is still a very good chance your body will either fail, reject the blood or be too much for you to handle. Any number of bad things can happen but like i said, you have a much higher chance of surviving, compared to the days back then. Back then most girls who were recruited were thin, small and without access to proper food for someone like you, who is training to become a huntress, they had less than a fifty-fifty chance of surviving."

"M-maybe i should go first." Summer said, fearing for her daughter's life, "I can have Xero inject his-"

"Your too old." Gudako's blunt statement got confused looks from the family, as Summer let out a small.

"Eh?!"

"Your too old." The redhead said, ignoring the squawking of surprise from her, as Gudako motioned her hand to said fully grown woman, "All Warriors were recruited as children, not only because it's easier to brainwash them as kids but because of how dangerous the transforming process is, along with growing. This isn't something you can decide to do later on in life, you have to do it as soon as physically possible, because the younger you are, the easier it would be for the Yoma blood to integrate into your body." Seeing their faces still stunk in confusion, Olga butted in.

"The younger you are, the easier it is for you to become a hybrid, as your body grows, so does it allowing it to make all the adjustments necessary to ensure you become a fully realized Warrior without too much blow back to you. Long story short, the younger you are, the easier it is to adjust but the older you get, the harder it is and ultimately, impossible for adults to become a Warrior, as you are fully grown. The Yoma and human parts of your body will fight for dominance, which ends up tearing the body apart as a result. Believe me it's not a pretty way to die, even less so when the human half dies and the Yoma takes over completely becoming what we call, an Awakened Being. Warriors who have gone over their limit and the Yoma half takes control of the body." Olga paused, paused for a second, letting the info sink as Gudako finished it by saying.

"But that hasn't been a problem for centuries, as the Yoma had slowly died out within the Mazoku clan and even if the Warriors themselves of today's age CAN still Awaken but without the threat of the Yoma taking over. But that doesn't mean the person in question won't change, if only in terms of personality with a new outlook but as daddy saw, Oni-chan didn't change much, he's still the same person he's always been just with an Awaken form now. The only reason he hasn't willingly awaken before, is simply because he gained memories from Miria after accepting her blood. During the first age, Awakening would have meant certain death, if not in body than in losing what humanity they had left and truly transform into a monster."

"Is that why his armor was all torn up? As if my son grew an extra two foot in the span of less than a day?" Tony asked, remembering how badly damaged the Iron Reaper Armor was and how it was basically stretched out like it was Bruce inside the suit, rather than his son.

Though unlike Banner's throw away clothes, the suit was salvageable, unlike the good doctor's poor clothing.

Gudako simply nodded, knowing that his armor was pretty damaged from both, Loki's own soldiers and the transformation into her Oni-chan's Awakened form, "Unlike most members of his clan, Oni-chan is one of the rare few that have obtained an Awaken form, but that's mostly because of Miria's blood mixing in with his own, giving his power a jump start from the original source."

"Because of the old blood stabilizing and even strengthen his DNA to a certain extent." Banner finished, cupping his chin in thought, "Makes sense but it was only during the battle of New York that have him the push he needed?"

"Sort of." Gudako made a 'so-so' gesture, "As you already know, the Battle Of New York wasn't about raw power or strength, it was as Armin put it so clearly, a battle of attrition."

"Attrition?" Nora titled her head in confusion, as Levi answered.

"So, who can outlast the other and to be frank, we would have been fucked had Bright Eyes not been there. It wasn't a joke when we said Loki had over a million soldiers at his disposal, far bigger than any army this world has ever seen. We only won because of Bright Eyes magic and because horn head was arrogant, thinking it would be an easy win."

Which it should have been.

A powerful, immortal command with powerful Norse magic, a nigh endless army of cannon fodder against what is basically a tiny village in the grand scheme of things before attacking the rest of the weak world, it should have been an easy victory. Only Loki had failed to account for one simple thing:

Humans don't go down that easily and when push comes to shove, we can overcome anything if pushed hard enough.

His arrogance was his downfall.

"That and he did not expect to find Earth has such powerful defenders, nor that we can use magic."

Gudako would admit, not as easily as Loki did to a certain extent but based on the battle, both she and her Oni-chan certainly outmatched Loki in terms of versatility with their magic or was that just him being arrogant and not unleashing the full extent of his powers?

More than likely the latter then the former.

"Indeed, like every other Warrior before him, Xero had to undergo the painful process of becoming a full fledge hybrid." Wiz said, as he begins to pick up where his co-host left off, "Because Miria was an Offensive type rather than a Defensive type, Xero's regeneration is inferior to a Defensive type, but while in Lighting Force State, his regeneration is not only sped up, but it surpasses any known Defensive type of regeneration. Hell, it's even better than Wolverine." Wiz explained, as it showed Miria on the screen, fighting various Yoma's, "There is also no real record of any Warrior getting sick or getting any type of disease and during a time where getting a paper cut would undoubtedly kill you, that is damn impressive."

"And Xero was hiding all these abilities." Perta said, mostly to herself. She knew him long enough to know he didn't do something like this without a good reason. With the revelation of HYDRA still being active and the Cult out there, along with many other threats, Perta didn't blame him for doing so. Xero had told them, point blank, that he had secrets.

Secrets he could not afford to share with them, some for more personal reasons, others because they were clan secrets and many others that were needed to know kind of secrets.

He may have hid things from them, keep many secrets close to the chest but at least he was honest about it.

"Ruby, if i were you I'd pay close attention." Gudako said to the sliver eyed girl, gaining her attention, as she looked at the older redhead, "If you wish to become a Warrior like Oni-chan over being a Huntress like your mother, this will be your best chance to learn about what it means to be one and what it entitles. It's not an easy path and it WILL be one of the most painful things you will ever experience."

"W-what do you mean?" Ruby asked, a little nervous at that last bit but soldiered on nevertheless, as Gudako merely said.

"Keep watching."

"But that didn't stop old Reeps from learning some useful skills, like Miria's trick of leaving after images of herself and Madam Pointy Ears insane Quick Sword style, one that is so fast that the human eye can't follow it. Hell, he even learned Miss No Brow's drill sword trick and not only is it does it look very painful to do, it's also kind of gross to watch as he does it." Boomstick said, as the screen changed again, to show Jean twisting her arm around itself to create the Drill Sword, "Fuck, talk about twisting your arm, ouch!"

Many winced at the sight, as some gagged, while a select few looked fearful or anger at seeing how much power the Mazoku possessed.

"If he truly was this strong, then why haven't we seen it and why didn't he take down Taskmaster quicker?"

Certain military leaders and country leaders thought to themselves, as Wiz begin to unintentionally answer the question many had.

"Training is good and all but real-life experiences can trump any kind of training any day." All Might silently thought to himself, mentally analyzing Miria's movements, "If Lord Mazoku not only receive the abilities of this woman but the experience of his future self through memories, he can easily best even the top ten pro-heroes through sheer experience alone. While being a hero is dangerous work, the young man has constantly been in life and death battles, waist length in the blood of both friend and foe alike. I hate to think of what would happen if Lord Mazoku became a villain or worse, All For One somehow got his claws into him."

The large man shivered at the thought of Xero helping his archenemy and with this looming Dead War threatening to destroying not just their worlds but all those worlds with life in them.

It wasn't a pretty image.

"Seeing as he didn't know who he could trust and everyone he seemly turned was with either HYDRA, the Cult or people who would very much want him dead, Xero decide it would be best to hide his true strength. To weave a vale over himself of portraying himself weak and underestimate him as a result. So, when his enemies or others go after him, thinking he is the weakest link, they'd be in for one nasty surprise."

"Even if compared to most Servants, who could easily break him in half with just a finger, Xero is well above normal humans and can easily have people like Captain America a run for his money." Boomstick said with a laugh, "His speed, strength, six senses' were set into overdrive, making him stronger and faster than any normal could hope to achieve, easily surpassing Captain America."

"That's...that's actually a very clever way of doing things." Best Jeanist said with raised eyebrows, "Knowing your enemy is half the battle and hiding your true strength is a good way to lure your enemies into a false sense of security then strike when they least suscept it. Yes, very clever indeed."

"I'll say, the little kitten is not only strong, but he's also having great battle instincts too!" Ragdoll spoke, eyes widen then normal at the simple but very effective method for battle. You can't defend against something if you don't know it's coming.

"However, even if he had all the power, strength and skills to learn these moves, Xero would need the knowledge to actually pull these moves off." Wiz said, as he begins to explain, "But thanks to receiving the memories of Avenger Xero, after proving he could change their dark future, Xero was not only able to master new abilities he didn't even know where possible to begin with. In doing so, he could basically re-learn all the techniques and abilities, he WOULD develop but much earlier. Some of these abilities were created during the Dead War to combat some of the new evils he would face, thus was able to reach a whole new level of power thanks to the knowledge he gained from his future self before his death."

"Among other things." Boomstick said, referring to Blood Force State and the knowledge of the coming disaster.

"Yes, well in any case, Avenger Xero was able to recreate some of the techniques Miria had seen during her life like the Drill-Sword, Irene's Quick-Sword style used by Claire and even Flora's Wind Cutter Style to re-create the Quick Sword Style. But the most notable technique he recreated was Miria's Phantom." Wiz said, as the screen showed the mentioned techniques, showing the brown-haired woman seemly 'vanish' like dust in the wind.

"There it is." Betty spoke, smiling at seeing the move that had saved her during the war with Loki.

"Man, he really is fast, he might be faster than you Iida." The blue haired boy nodded at Ojiro words, not even his older brother has achieved such speeds fast enough to leave afterimages behind.

"But if Lord Mazoku can do, then so can I!"

Tenya nodded to himself, determined not to fall behind someone who didn't even have a speed, Quirk. It wasn't so much as an insult to the older boy but the younger man acknowledging his speed as greater than his own and decided to make it one of his own personal goals. A destination in mind so to speak, with Tenya's current speed as his starting point and Xero's superior speed as his finish line.

"Oh, that is such bullshit!" Yang complained, "This is so unfair." She didn't want to sound like she was being a whiny bart but it really was unfair just as Mercury guy said.

Everyone ignored her, but many silently agreed with Yang that it was indeed bullshit and unfair. Some people are just simply born with everything, and others aren't so lucky, if you considered certain aspects of being both a Magus and hybrid of Yoma and human.

"We never stood a chance, did we?"

Seinna knew the answer to that question regardless of the fact she asked it to herself in her own mind. The more and more she saw, watched and felt, the tiger woman for all her pride, was ready to kneel over and hope to whatever god what listening that her race would be spared Earth's wrath.

And the Avengers and Magus's wrath.

Despite what many thought, Seinna was no coward and the Albian's brother knew that she was simply cautious. Now, after seeing this, she knew her caution may have very well just saved the Faunus race from genocide. The Faunus were already outnumbered thanks to the Faunus Rights Revolution and the Great War their numbers have been dwindled down badly.

The sudden merging with Earth had made that 1 to 3 ratio turned into 1 to 6 ratio with no realistic way for the Faunus to actually win any type of war with the humans unless they had some kind of super weapon. Even then, it was still unlikely and not even the Grimm would be enough to destroy Earth's people. Seinna wasn't foolish and knew that Cinder was Adam's "benefactor" of his and thus, was technically allied with Salem, so was the White Fang.

Technically.

Something she intended to put her foot down on, that the White Fang will NOT ally with Salem, seeing as Grimm attack indiscriminately. If they allied with the Grimm of all things, it would be mass genocide on their part, seeing as the humans are clearly planning to forge an alliance to deal with Salem and the rest of the threats their new world faced.

The Albain brothers agreed with her on this, seeing as they understood the consequences for allying with Salem and whatever plan Mazoku made to deal with Salem would more than likely work, seeing as compared to everything else he has fought, an immortal witch...wasn't all that threatening. Especially when he and Stark pointed out some flaws and made everyone realize she isn't as powerful as she portrays herself to be, nor did she have COMPLETE control over the Grimm, as the kingdoms would have long been steamed rolled otherwise.

Seeing as they're still very much standing, and Salem is STILL hiding in the shadows only proved this point even more.

"No matter what happens, I cannot allow Adam to drag the White Fang down with him. Clearly, his hate and anger has gotten out of control and i can no longer condone it. He has to go; some might protest but it'll be better in the long run. We cannot afford to make enemies out of Earth just yet. Not without some extra firepower at least."

Like a Maiden or a relic or even better, both of them.

Even if she said she would work with him, that did not mean others would. The Khan had no doubt others would come for them and if Mazoku turned on them, then they had to be able to defend themselves after all. While it was clear Summer and Winter weren't possible, that left Fall and Spring up for grabs. The best part was that nobody liked either of them, one was the feared bandit queen of Mistral and the other worked for the queen of Grimm, if ever were killed, nobody would bat an eye.

If the White Fang gained a Maiden in the process, then the stars aligned, and the gods decide to cut them a break.

"And like any other super powered person needs, everything he had like his strength, speed, five senses and even endurance was turned up to eleven." Boomstick explained, as the screen showed Xero using said senses to decimate HYDRA soldiers, "Everything, including his sense of smell was improved, which was kind of wired."

"Well, odd improvement aside, Xero not only be enhanced to become superhuman, but Warriors also have been noted to have eternal youth." Wiz said, as the screen showed Isely of the North, "Isley of the North, a member of the FIRST generation of warriors and he hasn't aged a day. It has been theorized that it's the Warriors Yoki that keeps them young, but it is still unknown to this day. Perhaps it has something to do with the Yoki being demonic energy or their shapeshifting abilities they gain once they fully awakened, it is still very unclear."

"Don't forget Wiz, his first ancestor, Miria lived to be over 900 years old." Boomstick spoke, reminding everyone of that fact, "She only died, because she, 1.) Passed on the title of clan head to her chosen successor, Rosemary and 2.) She stayed behind in Avalon to die with her kingdom, when the kingdoms of that time period invaded their kingdom to steal the secrets of magic."

"Interesting." Oobleck put a hand to his chin, rubbing it thoughtfully, "While it's not exactly a well keep secret, huntsman and huntress often age slower than those who aren't, namely those with their aura unlocked. If Yoki really is just aura purified, then i can certainly see another connection between the two."

"Really professor?" Pyrrha asked in shock, "I didn't know that."

"Like i said, it's not exactly a well keep secret but's it's not said out loud either." The green haired man's frown deepened even further, "Seeing as most huntsman only age to thirty years old before they are killed by the Grimm, sometimes criminals and even bandits. It really depends on where and what the huntsman or huntress in question is doing when they are killed."

Killed, not die or pass away, killed. More than likely dying to the Grimm, criminals and everything else in-between. That was a sobering thought.

"Of course, the rich boy gets to have not only power but enteral youth as well."

Emerald thought bitterly to herself, crossing her arms over her chest, ignoring Mercury's yell of "That's complete bullshit" and while she agreed, there is no way in hell she would say it out loud. Truth be told, if the need ever arise, Cinder and Salem (Mostly Salem really) could have simply waited until Mazoku became a feeble, weak old man, no matter how powerful he was no one was immune to the passages of time.

"Or so i thought."

It seemed once again fate was throwing a monkey wrench into their plans, making Emerald wonder if there was some higher power working against them and making the green haired girl think that it should mind its own fucking business! Why the hell did this happen?!

The plan to take down Beacon, acquire the Fall Maiden's power and kill the headmaster was flawless but now everything is fucked up! Khan clearly had no desire to join their side and with the way things are going, it looked like Adam would be booted out of the White Fang, which would mean the main bulk of their invading forces would be render moot.

Threats wouldn't work, as even Emerald who had complete faith in Cinder, could see the MASSIVE gap in power between the two and if they did, whatever it is they did to summon one of those Servants or worse, use one of them to take over Amber's body, her mistress could lose the missing half or worse, lose the Fall Maiden's power entirely!

"But what can i do?"

A straight up fight was a terrible idea, catching him alone was also impossible as those Servants would always be with him, so sneak attacks won't work, nor will her illusions be rendered useless as Mazoku could not only see through said illusions, but he could fight blindfold!

Seriously, who the fuck learns how to fight blind?!

"Miria stayed behind to die with her kingdom?" Midnight asked, now putting together what happened to the kingdom of Magus, "Wouldn't it make more sense if she left with her people and into hiding?"

"It would be logically but realistically, no." At seeing the older woman's confused expression, Gudako explained, "From what Oni-chan told me, Miria was the LAST of the Sliver Eyed warriors of her generation or any generation for that matter, a relic from a bygone era of lies and death. Many other Warriors either chose to die in battle to be with their long-lost loves, died in battle defending their kingdom or died exploring new lands, there was no dying from old age, thus not simply 'passing on' to the next world. All Warriors don't have the chance to live a normal life and thus, those who are born from their bloodline are taught to accept that they will more than likely outlast everyone they come into contact with. Oni-chan knows he will outlive you all and accepts that fact." Gudako paused for a moment, before looking at Logan and Laura, "Well, expect you two, seeing as Logan is older than dirt and seeing as Laura is basically a female version of you, it stands to reason that you will live beyond this age of heroes we are in. Ruby, if you chose to become a Warrior and survive the transformation, this is something you will also have to accept: You will outlive not only your father and mother but your sisters, freinds and lover if you chose to become a Warrior like Oni-chan."

That was a sobering thought to know, one that had Ruby near tears, "C-can i think about it?"

"Of course, little sister." Gudako smiled gently, rubbing Ruby's head, like Yang used to do when she was smaller but without the mockery in her tone or eyes, "Take all the time you want but know, even if you don't become one, you'll always been considered a member of our clan."

"O-okay."

"Well, aren't you all just lucky." Mercury grumbled, knowing that Mazoku and his family member will be young forever, while the redhead just ignored him. Gudako was no fool, while eternal youth sounded like a goddess send, there were ups and down to everything.

Including enteral life, as Scathach had made that very clear that immortal was not all it was cracked up to be and was actively looking for someone to end her life. That someone, being her Oni-chan, seeing as how hard she pushed him during their training and even if she married him, loved him, their shared teacher still longed for death and was clearly hopping he would be the one to deliver it to her.

"E-enteral youth is n-not all that's i-it's cracked up t-to be."

The slivered haired assassin nearly jumped at hearing Adenela's voice, as the three-hundred-year-old Magus seemly appeared beside him, "T-take it from m-me, enteral y-youth is not f-fun as it seems."

"Good god, i honestly forgot you were here, miss creeper." Tony spoke before Mercury could, needing to distract himself as he spoke to the short purple haired woman, "Seriously, you, the church foursome and Pieck have been very quiet throughout this whole ordeal."

Pepper elbowed Tony, trying to shut him up, as Father Vicent merely chuckled, as Pieck, still looking like she was half asleep merely smiled, "Sorry Tony. Just, watching everything Xero-dono can done and has gone through to obtain it, is...humbling to say the least." Knowing just how easily he could snap her in half like a twinge didn't worry the woman as much as it should have it.

Oh no, it actually, excited her in a certain way.

"No kidding." Irina sighed, "Xero-sensei is supposed to be our teacher but he's the same age as us, yet he's so strong!" The brown-haired teen flared her arms, "How are we supposed to measure up to that?! Compared to Xero-sensei, we are nothing but wet behind the ears recruits that have never picked up a weapon in our lives!"

"Which, technically we are." Xenovia grunted, mostly to herself as she said this. Irina had a point and for all her stubbornness, she knew her frie-partner, had a point.

Yeah, she meant partner.

"But his most useful ability, is his regeneration." Wiz said, as the screen changed to show Xero...stabbed by iron rods, while he was unconscious, bleeding all over! His arms and legs were staked with them in a suspicious cross like shape, with two rods stuck through his lower abdomen.

"Oh my god!/What the fuck is this?!"

Pepper once again found herself gasping, as Tony shot out of his seat, glaring not at Gudako but at the Curator, "What the hell is this?!"

"Keep watching and you'll found out, Mr. Stark."

"Now, does anyone remember when Xero was sent back to the 1300's?" Boomstick asked, as the unconscious Xero stayed on screen, "Well, you see here, there was a secret torture, oh sorry, i mean 'Prison' called Inferno Prison. A secret prison created by the Inquisition's leader of the time, Grand Inquisitor Vitalis Bénévent of the Catholic Church in the country of France. One can think of it as the Inquistion's version of Guantanamo Bay, with all the nasty stuff that goes with it. When Xero distracted the Black Knight Nicholes allowing Amicia and Hugo to escape, you can image that old Nicky boy wasn't too pleased about that."

"The Inquisition had that much power?" Ochako asked in disbelief, while she wasn't the best at history, she was sure that the Catholic Church never had THIS much power.

Did they?

"In times of crisis, when the government fails to reassure people, groups like this often take advantage of the confusion to seize power for themselves and by the time anyone realizes what they're doing, it's often too late." Gudako said bluntly, her smile now turning into a grimace as she watched her dear Oni-chan, strung up and staked like some kind of animal.

Fucking bastards.

"In a lot of ways, it's just like how the SDC uses the Faunus."

Ghira was by no means pessimistic or bitter man, nor did he like to think the worse of people. During his time leading the White Fang, he never once fought back, despite the fact he had every right to do so, because he wanted to create a better world for Faunus AND humans alike. He wanted to show people they weren't the savage animals they were made out to be and when someone attacks them, but they do nothing, it's the attacker that looks like the savage animal, not the other way around.

But that didn't mean Ghira was blind to those who were treated worse than others, like the Faunus in Atlas and Mantle. He had no right to interfere with their lives or how they acted but it was that kind of attitude that made it harder for the rest of the Faunus to get along with humanity. No matter what any of them thought, like Adam and Seinna, attacking unprovoked no matter how bad they were only caused more senseless hate.

Just like Gudako said, hate creates hate.

But ultimately, Ghira just stayed silent, wanting to see how this played out and see what these people did to the young teen to make him the way he is today. As much as he did not like killing, he was in no position to impose his beleif onto others and even worse, he did not have the full picture, so again, he simply opted to stay slient.

"Indeed, and enraged by this, Nicholes sent Xero to Inferno Prison." Wiz said, taking over explaining, "For two months, Xero was locked up and torture by Inquisition's men and given that a paper cut could kill you, they were careful on how they torture him. But the lack of progress really enraged them and so, they used these rods to crucified Xero for all to see. As a sign of both power and reason why not to defy the Inquisition, least this be them."

"But this would backfire, as Xero was able to use the fact no one wanted to watch a teenager die from the multiple stabs and blood loss, he used this as his chance to escape from the prison." Boomstick said, as Xero woke up, revealing the full scene to be during in the dead of night and begin to slowly pull his arms free of the iron rods, "But mind you, his regeneration was still fairly new to him and while it was nowhere near as fast as Logan's, his was still pretty impressive. But holy fuck, Xero had to slowly pull himself free AND stay silent, least someone notice his escape, you got to admit, he is one tough man to do that." The screen focused on Xero, as he slowly freed himself, as he had pulled his arms and legs out, pushing against the wooden cross, pain clear on his face.

SLECK

SLECK

"AAAAGGGHHHH!"

Xero screamed out the last bit, as he finally pulled himself free of the iron stakes, blood pouring out of his wounds like a leaky fountain, as he falls to the ground with a thud, unable to stand from the excruciating pain.

"Well, mostly stayed silent." Boomstick corrected himself with a wince at the sight of so much blood.

The sound of flesh tearing, and ripping was loud, nauseating to listen too, as many felt like they were going to be sick, with the ones with a weak stomach like Ruby, Mina, Izuku, hell even people like Sun and Nebula were already losing their breakfast into a magically appeared bucket. The fact he was so skinny at the time with no sign of muscle on his lanky body, it became all the louder to the iron rods tearing Xero's insides as he slowly removed himself from the large wooden cross.

"Groan."

The Avengers eyes widen, as Banner's eyes turned green, the Hulk threatening to burst forward, as Steve quickly asked, "Banner, are you-"

"I'm FINE." The shorter man shook his head, taking a few deep breaths before his eyes returned to their normal hazel color, "I'm good Steve, i'm good." He wasn't actually, most of what he had seen had the Other Guy growling but that last shot of his young friend pulling himself out of those stakes, had the big green guy roaring in pure rage.

Not that Bruce blamed the big man on a personal level and would have loved nothing more than to meet this "Lord Nichols" to a greasy paste on the ground but seeing as the man was long dead, more than likely by Xero's own hands no less, the Hulk had no one to take his fury out on. Tony seeing the look on his face, smiled grimly.

"Trust me big green, i feel the same way and wish i could go all Hulk on that asshole's ass but it's not meant to be." Tony wasn't lying, he did want a crack at the armored asshole himself with the newly created "Hulk Buster" armor, but life wasn't so kind.

"Not to mention, a really odd ability he discovered, while being hung up like a stuffed pig by lord Dick-Ohls, is his ability to move his organs." Boomstick, "Which, while doesn't sound all that impressive, this power can ensure old Reeps doesn't suffer from internal damage of certain organs that could be very bad if hit. Man, i wonder if hitting your kidneys with your liver hurts as much as it sounds."

"Probably." Wiz said nodding, "And one of the reasons why Xero almost always wears sleeveless shirts, is his ability to stretch his limbs out. This not only gives him unique options in fighting and everyday life, but allows him to pull off certain skills, like Jean Drillsword. But not only that, he can pretty mind bend in ways, no normal human could ever hope to do so."

"Who says white guys can't bend?" Boomstick joked with a light laugh.

Some didn't get the joke and those that did, either chuckled or scowled at it.

"And while Xero might have an Awakened form, he only unlocked it during the near end of the Battle of New York and for the most part, it simply enhances all Yoki abilities." Wiz said, as Boomstick once again took the center stage.

"But without magic or even Yoki, Xero's still one hell of a force to be reckoned with. The fact he and his future self often got their magic negated or just outright deflected, or just plain useless against the undead creatures or he finds himself stripped of his magic for some reason it doesn't matter, as old Reeps decided to apply a British Army adage or i guess you could say, he went the Batman route: By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."

"Now that right there, is the smartest thing i have heard all day." Aizawa said, nodding in complete agreement with Boomstick's words. This was a lesson he was trying to drill into his students. Hopefully they would take those words to heart and more importantly, learn from Lord Mazoku's experience that no matter how powerful you were, one bullet, one lucky shot was all a villain needed to take you down.

For good.

"Battles can be won or lost based on preparations."

Ozpin spoke wisely, also agreeing with one of the hosts of Death Battles. He was thinking along the same lines as Aizawa, as he had plently of students who underestimated the Grimm and pay for it dearly.

The ones that lived that is, the ones that wouldn't serve as a reminder to everyone just how dangerous the Grimm were, even to the huntsman themselves.

"Holy crap, he's got enough weapons to outfit an army!" Sun yelled, eyes widening at the sheer number of different weapons Xero had in his large arsenal.

"Oh! Look at all the weapons!" Ruby was almost, no wait, she WAS drooling over the sight of the large number of weapons her distant cousin had in his stockpile and was wanting nothing more than to use them. Maybe she could convince him to allow her to, um 'borrow' one of them some time or better yet, allow her to make her own!

Eeeeeeee!~

"Cool your jets sis, I'm sure Xero will allow you to see his weapons." Yang spoke with a grin, as Weiss focused on the last weapon, finding it to be the oddest out of all the weapons and tools.

"Am i the only one wondering what they mean by 'Scarecrow's Fear Gauntlet'? What does that mean and what is a Batman or Arkham Knight?"

"Kiddo..."

Weiss blinked as she noticed that Mr. Stark looked pale, very pale as he saw the last weapon and was looking pleading at Gudako. Don't tell her that he was actually buying this "...Please don't tell me my son actually fought that insane psychopath Crane."

He was and who in the name of the Brothers is Crane?

"Oni-chan didn't fight Scarecrow..." Weiss's confusion deepened when both Stark, Rogers, Potts and Banner all sighed in relief, only to gasp as the redhead said, "...I did, and it wasn't just Crane either. I ended up facing all of Batman's Rogue gallery at least once. Mostly Scarecrow all three times and fought the Joker at least twice. Well, maybe more than three times, if you count those infected with Joker-Itis."

"Okay, who the hell if Scarecrow and why did you all look like your about to kneel over?"

And who the hell is Batman?

Rumi personally thought Scarecrow sounded an awful lot like a villain's name if she had ever heard one and judging by the looks the youngest Stark was getting, he must have been a dangerous villain at that.

Tony sucked in some breath, as he spoke, looking a little pale and angry at the same time, "Dr. Jonathan Crane is as you heroes can guess, a supervillain in the world of the Batman comics, once a professor of psychology till he went nuttery then his patients. The man was obsessed with the power the mind had over the body and fear, then like all mad psycho's, he combined the two into his signature Fear Toxin. A toxin so deadly that not only would it torture you with your worst fears made real but if your exposed long enough, you can quite literally die from it."

"I remember reading those comics when i was younger." Reiner said absentmindedly, "Next to the Joker, Scarecrow, Two Face, Bane Ra's Al Ghul, the Riddler and Poison Ivy were among Batman's worst enemies on his rogue's list."

More names that were dropped like they were supposed to mean something and to everyone from two different worlds, had no reconciliation of any of those names. The people from Earth 616 however did, as they all nodded to each other in one way or another, recognize the names.

"Just to be clear, when the screen says 'Arkham Knight' it means the Arkham game trilogy, right? Cause i personally played all three games and while it was awesome, does this mean you've been sucked into the final game, the same way Xero was sucked into 'Tales of Berseria'." Spider Man asked, as Gudako laughed a bittersweet laugh.

"Not quite Spider butt, as Oni-chan had to spend a year and a half in Tales of Berseria, i had spent three really, really, REALLY long nights in Gotham city. Arkham Asylum and Arkham city the first two nights, then i was able to travel all over Gotham the third night. While i may have had to only spend three days in the Arkham games, it didn't make it any less dangerous."

"You'd think we'd learn after the first time but like everything else, life threw a wrench into them." Olga sighed; they really should have seen it coming.

Tony himself looked torn between angry that he wasn't told this information, not to mention how HIS daughter was put in serious danger because of Batman's worst enemies and could have died but he also worried. Worried that his children seem to attract danger like moths to a flame.

Would this always happen?

Should he be worried about getting graying hairs because of how accident/danger prone his children seemed to be?

Should he go back to drinking himself into an early grave?

Should he be PROUD that his kids seemed to pull themselves out of ridiculous dangerous situations seemly all the time or should he get to work on some sort of bubble suits for them due to the sheer number of times they seemed to be dragged into these kinds of situations? Seriously, getting kidnapped by and terrorist attacked by a madman with a whip fetish seems like child's play compared to what his kids have gone through, the monsters they had to face but it made him worry and feel worthless at the same time.

Why?

Could he actually hope to fight actually alien gods, monsters with the power to bend reality and worst of all, magic?

"Could i even hurt one of those Awakened Beings or the Creatures of the Abyss?"

Strong as his armor was, that was all he had. That, his tech and his might brain power is all he had on those monsters who could do things he didn't even know were possible with just Yoki. From the memories he had shown him from Miria's point of view, he didn't know for certain and that sacred him more then he cared to admit.

Warriors were far faster than any normal human could hope to be, even old Capsicle was nowhere near as fast as his son was. Which was far, as no one in the Avengers, maybe even in the entire world was faster than his son. A small, spiteful part of him that always hated how his father went on and on about how great Captain American was, to hear someone else, his own kid no less was superior to him in terms of strength made that very spiteful part of him very happy.

"Everything special about you came out of a bottle."

Admittedly, he only said those words because of the staff revving them all up like Loki wanted and but on the other hand, the same thing could be said about Tony. The only thing special about him was his big brain, which was true. Tony didn't have super strength like Steve, he didn't have metal claws that could cut through anything like Logan, he couldn't transform into a giant rage monster like Bruce, he didn't have Lady Luck as his bitch like Neena, he didn't have the insane flexibility nor spy skills as Natasha, he didn't have a perfect aim like Barton, he couldn't make anything he touch an explosive like Remy, he couldn't harden his skin to crystal's like Annie could, he didn't have a bloodline that made him a monster like Levi or even have magic circuits nor could he summon legendary figures to be his bodyguard/lover like his two children.

All Tony Stark had was an inherited company, a big brain and resourcefulness.

That was it.

Sure, he liked to say the Iron Man armor and he were one, which they were they most certainly were, but without it he...he couldn't do much. Sure, he forged the first Iron Man suit out of nothing but scrap and other weapons, but it was the definition of "Junk Heap". Seeing all the enemies both his kids had to fight forced Tony to admit, that he wouldn't stand a chance against half of them without his armor and even then, some would more than likely overwhelm him before he could put up a decent fight.

He could blast low level goons all day long but during his first, real war battle, he took out mostly small fry and some lieutenant, while his son took on the big bad by himself.

And won.

Sure, one can argue that Tony had taken on other armies but to be completely fair, those armies were using HIS weapons. Weapons, whom HE built and knew ever screw and bolt used to create it, so there were no surprise waiting for him. Loki's army however, while impressive was mostly cannon fodder, most of them foot soldiers, save for those snake things and Loki himself.

The point he was making, was that despite insulting Steve, he had a point on what Tony was without his armor. Take that away and what was he?

"Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist, father."

While he said the first three in a board tone, the last one he said proudly. But even with all that, when you compare him to his son, he...he wasn't all that impressive. He wasn't jealous of his son by any means, it's just Tony was the father here. HE was supposed to be the one doing the protecting, stressing out over things, staying up all night trying to work out problems that could make or break everything and worrying about the future.

Not his boy or little girl.

They should be out with their friends, getting into harmless mischief and defying him on the simple fact they were teenagers, that's what all teenagers do. They and he, should be doing everything they shouldn't do, giving Pepper gray hairs cause lets be honest, he was never going to be the responsible one here. But life was never that simple, even more so when the name Stark was involved.

This cruel reality was one he was going to have to accept and deal with, helping his kids however he could.

"But what can i do?"

Magic, up until about two years ago magic, alternate dimensions, actually real-life monsters/supernatural creatures and the multiverse theory being all real had blown his mind wide open. But it also made him realize just how outgunned he really was, without his armor and the enchantments his son had given him, Tony would stand no chance against any of that class 4, let alone class 5 monsters or even a class 3.

It was humbling, as it was terrifying and now, he had to deal with things coming from the darkest reaches of space, it made Tony envies of how Xero could handle it all without even batting an eyelash. Ultimately, Tony figured he would simply have to learn on the job like his son and daughter did, doing what he could to help them.

It was all anyone of them could do these days.

"Well damn, i think he's got more guns than me!" Boomstick said grinning like a mad man at the beautiful sight of so many weapons of all kinds, as Wiz spoke.

"Now, you'd probably be wondering why Xero has taken so many weapons into his arsenal, when he has enough power to be thought of as a demi-god. Someone with so much power, why would he even want a weapon, let alone a diverse, massive arsenal of weapons like these?"

Now that Wiz brought it up, everyone looked very curious as to WHY Xero has so many weapons too. If he was so strong with magic, why would he need them?

"It's because Xero isn't stupid." Boomstick answered everyone's question, "You see, old Reeps is playing the long game and being very smart about it. Unlike most Magus, who are too stubborn or too stuck in their ways, Xero has adapted to both the old and new ways of doing things. He learned how to use his family sword, the Black Rose, Dark Dove and the Meijikirā but he has created new weapons to match the times. Sort of."

"By sort of, you mean he's made weapons that far surpass the current times weapons, like his handheld cannon pistol in the form of Joy Colt." Wiz said, as the mentioned weapon appeared on screen.

"Oh, how pretty." Boomstick drooled a little at the sight, before snapping out of daze, "Anyway, Xero is smart enough to realize that relaying on his magic ALL the time isn't exactly a smart thing to do and had his ass kicked enough times to realize that painful fact."

"Indeed. Xero has gained many powerful enemies, some with ways to not only negate his magic but Yoki as well." Wiz spoke in a grave tone of voice, "Which is shockingly easy if you know what you're doing or if he's running dangerously low on mana."

"And as we already know, once his mana level hits Zero, it's game over." Boomstick said in a joking tone, despite the topic at hand, as Wiz pushed on.

"He's had his ass handed to him enough times to wise up and change his ways before his stubbornness got him killed. But there's more to it, thanks to his enemies having so many friends in high places with dangerous equipment and weapons that could prove a threat to the Arch-Mage, restricting himself to just a couple of simple spells and shrouding himself in darkness gives him an edge."

"Uh, what?" Yang looked just as confused as everyone else, not understanding what Wiz was getting at.

"I see, very clever indeed Lord Mazoku."

Well almost everyone, as the few smarter ones like Nezu, Ozpin, Fury, Erwin, Ironwood and Sir Night eye with the rest of Beacon's professor's all nodding in agreement with Xero's idea of sticking to the shadows.

"In case you haven't figured it out yet, old Reeps is playing the long game, as said before." Boomstick said, packing on what his co-host said, "You see, it's kind of hard to counter against something you had no idea even existed. Him using weapons already gives him a leg up over other Magus and many of his weapons were infused with magic, making them even more dangerous than regular weapons. So, by using these weapons and NOT his own magic or Yoki, leaves his enemies guessing how he's going to attack."

Oh!

Light bulbs seemly went off in everyone's heads, as they began to understand just what Wiz was said, as the man himself spoke.

"Let's say they were expecting a short-range fighter and set up a shop to counter one but in doing so, they have no defense against a long-range fighter, like a sniper or even an attack from behind or above them. A short, ranged fighter would come from the front and vice-versa a long-ranged fighter would attack from long range, thus they set up their defenses for one but have no defense for a short, ranged fighter or a Armored one, seeing as most long ranged fighters have to be quick and nimble on their feet."

"What Wiz is trying to say, is that old Reeps stays hidden in the shadows and when he attacks, it's always with something different in hand." Boomstick simplified the explanation, "He always attacks with something new, a different strategy, a different weapon, a different method of doing things. Not to mention, a few of these items aren't really meant for killing but rather, are meant to strengthen some of his own personal weakness."

Now that little tab bit of information got some less than savory people's attention, wanting to know just what made the Strongest Magus weak.

"But it's mostly thanks to his future self's memories of the Dead War and realizing just how badly some of his spells will have no effect on the Dead." Wiz said, dropping the bomb that made many blinks in shock.

What?

"Which isn't all that surprising if you think about it." Boomstick spoke, "As a professional monster hunter, Xero has learned that lighting up his enemies like a tree on Christmas day is fun and all, but it doesn't work very well on dead bodies. Hell, some of the monsters he's hunted are also seemly immune to his lighting magic. Not to mention freezing them in solid ice blocks is also fun but very ineffective against something that is already dead, so unless he ups the voltage on his lighting, all he's doing is pissing them off and only ice creation or hail with enough force to crack a coconut wide open, will work against the undead soldier's cannon fodder. It's one of the reasons why his spells are so destructive, as to combat the Dead near immortality, it won't matter how many hits you can take if your arms and legs are blown off. But that doesn't mean much when you fight zombies, Hell, even setting them on fire will only make them more dangerous, as they wouldn't just be zombies, they'd be FLAMING, very angry zombies that sometimes have Bombs strapped to them, ready to die again and take you with them all the way to H-E double hockey stick!"

"That...that makes a lot of sense." Yang paled a bit the mental image Boomstick was painting, and it wasn't very good. Magic was good and all but zombies were a tricky thing, so long as the brain was intact or whatever was keeping them alive connected, they would just keep coming.

Zombies didn't feel pain, morals, fear, compassion, hate, camaraderie, loss or anything that made human beings human.

Only hunger...the hunger for the living, be it human or otherwise, all would be devoured by the teeth of the dead. It would also explain why the Xero in the future used his flames to melt the Husks before he fights Lily.

"Well, that's just great, as if they need to be an even bigger pain in the ass." Levi grumbled to himself, not blaming either Magus but feeling a surge of annoyance spring within him, as this piece of information.

"That's why we have some very dangerous, very brutal weapons." Gudako spoke, "Oni-chan knew we would be fighting some very dangerous enemies that could not be killed by normal means. Well, they could be killed but they wouldn't stay dead by normal means, so he had to get creative in creating new weapons to ensure the dead stay dead. If they came back, well they sure as hell will wish they didn't."

"And that's not including some of the more elite, dangerous zombies, cultist or even the Dark Ass hates themselves." Boomstick finished with a scowl on his face. Seriously, why couldn't these zombies stay the same ones they know and hate. Not this Resident Evil type of zombies.

Ones that keep getting bigger, stronger, smarter and far more dangerous then regular run in the mill zombies.

"As a result, Xero has amassed a large arsenal of weapons over the years, for him to use with most being custom made to fit his needs, all enhanced with magic in one way or the other. Using his own skills in weapons smithing and even weapons from completely different realties he has been to, adding them to his personal stockpile of weapons for his own personal use. After he met and started living with his father, who is one of the world's leaders in making dangerous weapons by the way, Xero was able to take his crafting even further, refining and recreating old weapons with the latest and best tech possible."

"Plus, old Reeps went the extra mile to recreate some iconic video game weapons, like the Hidden Blade from Assassin's Creed. One such as the legendary Assassin Gauntlet from Assassin's Creed Syndicate with all the cool features included. From the rope launcher, poison darts and even the Pivot Blade that allows him to discreetly extend or retracted from a mechanism worn on the user's wrist by thrusting it. Seriously Wiz, can you get me his number, I want my own Hidden Blade!" Boomstick yelled the last part, as the screen showed the Gauntlet in question.

"I wonder if i can get Xero to show me the blueprints or convince him to make me one. Oh! Oh! Maybe i can get him to allow me to make my own!"

Ruby silently squealed to herself at the image of her own Hidden Blade and how much she could add onto the already amazing design. She wondered if there were any other weapons, he would allow her to make.

Oh, it was going to be so much fun~!

"While he isn't a thief by nature, Xero is more than willingly to use weapons from Fallen enemies and hell, Gudako even brought him a new weapon from one of her own adventures, Scarecrow's Fear Gauntlet."

"Just to be clear Wiz, it's the version from the Arkham series, right?"

"Indeed, it is."

"Okay, so want to explain this to us now?"

Rumi asked, still confused on who or what a Batman was. It sounded like a hero name to her, and Scarecrow was something that could easily pass off as a villain name but what the hell is an Arkham?

"Arkham is the name of an asylum for the 'criminal insane'" Gudako made finger quotes, as a rare scowl made its way to her beautiful face, "Even though there has NEVER been a record of any successful treatments for their patients, it is a key location in the DC comics for Batman. Batman has had many incretions over the years, but the version i went to be a three-game series called 'Arkham trilogy' featuring Batman going up against his worst enemies, one of them of course being Dr. Johnathn Crane aka the Scarecrow. The first two games he didn't really get too much screen time, save for boss fights but during the third game, he was able to takeover Gotham in one night."

"He must have some power to do that, so not manly." The future Red Riot spoke, as Gudako next words, made the redhead boy do a double take.

"He doesn't have any power or Quirk like you all, he's just very, very smart and with zero morals." Seeing as she now had all the heroes and heroes in trainings attention, she elaborated, "Dr. Crane is an expert in psychology, with a focus on fear, and is a certified professor on the subject. Not joke, look it up and in just about every version of him is a professor but anyway, he used his knowledge to create a hallucinogenic drug to attack his victims with. But due to how potent and dangerous it is, it's been classified as a new type of drug all on its own known as Fear Toxin. Just as dangerous Joker's Laughing Gas, the Fear Toxin is so dangerous, it WILL kill you if you don't get a cure as quick as humanly possible. To put it simply, the drug induced involuntary and sometimes irrational fear in its victims' minds, driving them insane, which in turn speeds up the victim's heart rate. It is very possible for people to die from fright, rare as it is, it can happen to people with a preexisting condition or too much fear for the mind to handle. The Arkham version of Scarecrow's Fear Toxin is a bit different but no less dangerous."

"How so?" Izuku asked Gudako but Peter Parker beat her too it.

"I actually read up on it after i beat the game. It was a drug that could be either inhaled or injected. When ingested it induced intense and sometimes irrational fear, which caused the user to go insane or even die in larger doses. Death is possibly by a concentrated dosage and the cause of death is most likely to be of sudden heart attacks, self-harm through use of the environment or unknown effects the chemical has on the brain and other internal organs. Heart attacks are probably the most common cause of death as a dose would cause heart rates to increase exponentially and lead to cardiac arrest. When Batman was exposed to the Fear Toxin in-game it led to a Scarecrow Nightmare. It set into motion to the main theme of the game, where it actually picks up from the previous game, where's Batman was poisoned with Joker's tainted blood and unknowingly created a new virus that basically turned people into mirror images of the Joker himself."

"How did he do that?" Shoto asked, as Peter went into detail.

"If i had to take a guess, it was because of a serum called TITAN used by one of Batman's Rogues, Bane. It made him stronger sure, but Joker had to go bigger and in a true Joker fashion, made it monster serum and transformed him into a monster, but old Bats kicked his ass anyway. That was in the first game, which leads to the second one, where Joker was revealed to be poisoned from TITAN and decide to get his greatest enemy to make a cure for him, by poisoning not only him but infecting the rest of Gotham with his own blood."

"So, like a true villain, this Joker basically strong-armed Batman into saving him?" All Might asked, anger clear in his voice at the cowardly and underhanded tactics. A true villain indeed, as Spider Man nodded.

"Now, see here old Bat boy would have happily let himself die if it meant he could take down the Joker with him, it would be a small price to pay but with so many innocent people infected too, that was unacceptable. So, long story short, he was able to find a cure and save everyone but by the end of the game, Joker doomed himself and died but not before killing several people that were close to Batman."

"Not that it mattered, as old Bats would save even his worst enemy, simply because that was his way of being a hero. Even if the fucker had killed Bruce's chance for a semblance of a normal life and having genuine loved one, aside from his 'children' of the Bat Clan."

Like Ra Al Ghul's daughter, Taila.

"I'm guessing some people didn't get the cure in time?" Jennifer asked, having personally never played the game before but she most certainly knew of Batman and the DC cast. Seriously, who didn't know the iconic Batman vs Joker battle?

If you heard of one, you heard of the other one at least once in your life.

"They didn't and instead of dying, Joker's blood acted like a zombie virus. But instead of undead, walking uglies, they turned into green haired, clown faced crazies with more than a couple of screws loose. The worst part of it all, is that Batman was infected too, and most people don't have access to his advanced arsenal of deadly weapons, gadgets and martial artist skills."

Many paled at the implications, not needing to know all the details to understand just how BAD a Joker version of Batman would be like. Those who knew of Batman all felt fear rip through them, as many knew how dangerous Batman was and the fact, he didn't kill is the only thing that keep him from going completely too the dark side.

Even if he was a comic book character, the fact the multiverse existed meant the DC and Batman himself also existed as well. Even if there was a very, very lose possibility of the DC world somehow coming into contact with their own, it was still possible.

Gudako's already been to one such world, why not another version to go too or worse, coming to their world.

"Okay, so if we have had enough tell and tell, can we get on with it?" Olga asked, irritated, "You'll all see what she is talking about once her own bio is shown, so let's get this one done, and you can see it all for yourselves."

Ot that's right, after this viewing is done, Wiz and Boomstick will view Gudako's achievements and... Avenger Xero's.

Everyone slowly nodded, as the screen started up once more.

"Right, well moving on, this wouldn't be the last Xero picks up. while weapons like the Old Dog and LaserKraftWerk were taken from his enemies, he's made quite a few weapons of his own." Boomstick spoke, as the screen showed off Xero using his various weapons.

"Indeed, such as Joy Colt, a double barrel Revolver with the power of a rocket launcher behind each bullet. No amount of body armor or just plain armor will protect you from this deadly Revolver. It fires a .50 mm Rounds with a fire rate of 60 shots per minute with an effective reach of 500 mt and with a maximum velocity of 700 w/s." Wiz explained, as the screen showed Xero firing the Revolver with quick succession.

Ruby, Milessa and all the gun nuts within the audience were drooling at the sight of the beautiful weapon before them.

"And it sure isn't going to protect you from his pistol/shotgun hybrid, The Terminator. Never once have i ever heard a more befitting name for a weapon than this one. This weapon shoots a mix between a slug and a 00 buck, which enables efficient performance both in short and medium range, even if the gun kicks like a mull on steroids." Boomstick said, as the screen changed again, to show Xero blasting several HYDRA agents apart without mercy with just one shot from the weapon hybrid.

Many winced at the sight of blood and gore but otherwise said nothing, as the screen changed to show a purple coated rune, written in a Japanese kanji. The rune translated to:

Duplication

"But that's not all, thanks to his knowledge of the future, Xero was able to replicate one of his deadliest and most used rune he ever created, the Duplication Rune." Wiz said, as Boomstick once again cut in with a giddy tone.

"You remember those video games where you can play the infinite ammo cheat that was famous for games like GTA and some good old fashion shooter games? Well, old Reeps got himself a real-life cheat giving himself and his allies the ultimate gamer cheat code of having infinite ammo."

"Just like he gave us."

Natasha, Clint, Neena, members of the Levi Squad and all those who used anything that needed ammo of sorts to use their weapons. However, many who did not know about the Rune, stared wide eyed at the screen, unable to believe what they were seeing, and some felt a bit of sweat going down their bodies, now realizing just how dangerous Xero truly was.

It's one thing to have this kind of ability but to be able to pass it onto others to use at their own discretion, was a terrifying thought. One thing soldier needed constantly was ammunition and to have an infinite supply of it...it could turn the battlefield really quick.

What was worse, was this question:

Could he use that Rune for more than just ammo?

"I need that, Rune!"

Certain military leaders, criminals and overall assholes thought to themselves, knowing that one little rune alone could turn the tide of any battle their soldiers found themselves in. Both Earth and Remnant, as copying bullets was the same as using scrap metal to do it but dust ammo was much different and much harder to make. So, if the Rune could duplicate things, why not Dust itself?

It would be a total game changer!

"If he used that Rune on Dust, father would go ballistic, and the company would go under!" Weiss thought to herself, feeling terror well within her heart, "Where does that leave me and the company?! Would Mazoku really use it, simply to undermine me? I know the company doesn't have the best reputation but surely, he knows that when he created that so called 'Rune' did he not realize, or did he not care that it would destroy thousands of jobs within Atlas? Is he really that selfish and how the hell did he do it? Somesort of adavnced technology maybe? His father is a genius after all, so maybe they're using so called magic to cover it up? Yes, that's it, it has too be!"

Oh wow, so not only did someone find it to be a danger but had her head so far up her own ass, she believed he did it to spite her, even though he wasn't aware of her existence until today and STILL refusing to believe what was before her very eyes.

Such arrogance.

"Although while it has many uses and can be abused the living hell out of, old Reeps needs to know what's he is dupliating to make it work." Boomstick said, as the screen change again, to show Xero hunched over his work desk, working on the rune as sparks flyed from it, "To put it in simply terms, he needs to know every little detail about it, from how it looks, what it's used for and right down to the cellar level in order to make a prefect dupliaction of the item in question. Bullets, for instance are an easy item to duplicate, as their made out of variety of materials, such as copper, lead, steel, polymer, rubber and even wax. Bullets are made in various shapes and constructions (depending on the intended applications), including specialized functions such as hunting, target shooting, training and combat. Bullets are often tapered, making them more aerodynamic. Bullet sizes are expressed by their weights and diameters (referred to as "calibers") in both imperial and metric measurement systems. For example: 55 grain .223 caliber bullets are of the same weight and caliber as 3.56 gram 5.56mm caliber bullets. Bullets do not normally contain explosives but strike or damage the intended target by transferring kinetic energy upon impact and penetration."

Everyone was shocked to hear the Crude Boomstick explain something in so much depth without help, even his co-host looked just as pleasntly surprised.

"Well, color me impressed." Wiz spoke, clapping his hands, "That was very impressive Boomstick, you actually said something smart,"

"Yea-" The co-host eyes narrowed, as Wiz's words sunk in, "Hey."

"Moving on." Wiz grinned, ingoring his angry co-host, "Just like he said, bullets can be made out of pretty much any type of metal usable. But of course, Xero doesn't do things the normal way and one of those weapons that using this Rune is his sniper rifle, Grudge."

Ruby perked up like a puppy would at the words, sniper rifle, much to her family and friends amsument.

"Grudge is a high impact sniper rifle that fires higher caliber, faster bullets with a built in mechanism that allows them to ricochet on thin air up to five times, allowing them to bypass any blockades or hitting multiple targets in one shot." Wiz spoke, as he exaimed the weapon, "Huh, ut sats here the mechanism is a magical built in part that basically creates the 'wall' that allows the bullet to ricochet, nicely done."

"I need it." Ruby spoke simply, with stars in her eyes, hands slowly moving towards the screen, like she was in a trance "Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie."

"Down Ruby." Tai smiled a little at seeing his daughter back to her old self, if only somewhat at seeing a new gun she very much wanted. Not that he could blame her, as that looked like it was indeed a very gun Sniper Rifle.

"Next up are the twin pistols, Kami and Yami." Boomstick said, as the screen showed the black/white duo weapons together, "These twin pistols were created by Xero to not only bypass body armor and ensure the bullets couldn't be traced back to him, but they were also created to hurt, gggghhhhhooooosssssstttttttttssssss~" The host of Death Battle's dragged out the word 'Ghost' in a spooky tone of voice, "Or at the very least phantoms or enraged spirits, as he has faced many of these Specter's on his journey in the Grand Order. The orbs atop the pistols are what make the bullets in his pistols. Kami, the white pistol fires focused bullets of his mana and the black pistol, Yami, fires bullets made out his Yoki tainted mana. When fired, these bullets last only about ten minutes outside the pistols before vanishing, leaving it completely untracable. So, this is basically his version of an ice bullet, hurts like hell and breaks apart before anyone can figure out what the hell happens."

"Next up is something that many might find imprtical, unless your a certain Hawkeye, the magically enhaunced bow, Anthena." Wiz said, as the screen changed and showed the bow, coated in a light blue giving it a ghostly, ethereal, see through look to it. The bow itself was glowing the coated light blue and it gave it a ghostly look to it.

"Well, now what's this?" Clint leaned forward, now very interested to see just what this bow could do and see whatever it has, if Xero could upgrade his own bow even further.

Natasha rolled her eyes at her partner's respone to the new weapon but would be lying if she didn't say, she wasn't intreged by this odd looking bow. But she wasn't the only one, as a bow user herself, Cinder found herself wondering just how different this one was comapred to her own.

"Despite looking like a ghost bow, Athena, named after the goddess of wisdom and military victory herself, this bow has one mean handle to it." Boomstick spoke with a grin, as he micmicked a wacking motion, "It is a magically enhaunced bow that doesn't need arrows to be placed into, as the string itself allows old Reeps to summon arrows, namely elemental arrows. Mostly arrows of fire, ice, wind, earth and lighting. Yeah, that last one is no surprise there."

No surprise indeed, seeing as Lighting seems to be Xero favored element.

"And despite how well he can make weapons, there are some who firearms, which he had actually taken from fallen enemies." Wiz spoke, as the screen changed to show Paris overrun by the Nazi's in the Wolfenstein universe, "On his many, many journeys across the multiverse, where every possibility is possible, Xero once visited a world where the Nazi's WON WW2."

"Wait, what?!" Many looked alarmed at that, most of all Steve, Bucky and Logan, seeing as they fought in the war, they knew how bad the Nazi's where. Did this world have anothe Red Skull with no Captain America to stop him?

Or was it much worse?

"Yeah, but unlike old Reeps world, this one didn't have no Red Fuck in it." Boomstick's words clammed down the three mentions but not by much, "Nope, it instead had this guy, general Deathshead." A picture of the twisted general appeared on screen, "Heh, cheery name."

"Ugh, man that smile is so not manly." Kirishima shuddered at the genearl's unevering smile. Unlike All Might's smile, one that inspired hope and justice, this smile only spoke of one thing:

Death.

"Is it wired that i want to put an arrow through his head?" Clint asked no one in particular, as Rumi snorted.

"Not really, seeing as i have the urged to kick his ugly ass all the way to the moon, it's not wired at all."

"While this has a long history needing to be covered, we will be focusing on the weapons he acquired from this world." Wiz said, a little sad at not being able to see some bastard Nazi's killed, "The first being the LaserKraftWerk, a powerful weapon that is very effective against armored enemies or anyone in general wearing any type of metal. The Laserkraftwerk fires high energy laser beams. It also has the ability to burn through thin sheets of metal. The weapon has two fuctions, one similar to the laser cutter, and the other a pure laser weapon that can harm enemies. Functions can be swapped the same way that weapon ammunition is swapped. The energy attacks from the heavy robotic enemies act as an EMP and drain the battery from this weapon, making it useless unless Xero recharges the weapon. Both laser cutter and laser rifle function can cut through chains, but the latter will attract attention from the enemy. The LaserKraftWerk has 400 battery units, and once the battery has less than 60 units, the weapon will recharge itself to 60, giving Xero two more shots. Though once he upgraded it with the Arc Reactor made by his father, that is no longer a problem, seeing as the weapon can now rechrage itself."

"For those not in the know to know, it basically vapozers his enemies." Boomstick simplified things, before adding, "And by vapozer, i mean VAPOZER. One shot and all that's left is a fine mist." The screen changed to show Xero shooting a Cultist with the weapon and with a loud humming noise, a blue bolt of charged energy hit the man in the chest, his body exploding into nothing but a small mist of red.

"Fuck." Bucky whispered to himself, rubbing his chest, "That thing reminds of those HYDRA weapons. Only, less refined."

"But no less dangerous." Steve nodded in agreement, having his own flash backs of the very dangerous and very deadly weapons and to think, this one was from a world that didn't have HYDRA, the Red Skull or the Tesseract. That was a sacry thought and he for one, was glad that they had HYDRA to content with. Steve wasn't sure his prized shield could actually defelt that or not but he wasn't in a rush to find out.

Or ever for that matter.

"That's fucking awesome!" Bakugo grinned at the sight of such a deadly weapon, as the two Shields and Mei looked at the odd-looking weapon with a critial eye. Even if it did look a little crude, there was no denying it was dangerous and well-made tool.

"The next is more of a heavy firearm known as the Hammergewehr or simply put a Hammer Gun." Boomstick said, introducing the next deadly weapon, a large mini gun like weapon with four barrels at the end, with a large shoulder and arch to carry it, "This baby fires very large shotgun shells that can put major holes in a person's body with super rapid succession by utilizing four barrels that is perfect for heavy duty enemies and armor. While it can easily tear through the body like hot butter and even armored tanks, transports and pretty much any type of armored vechile would be reduced to swiss cheese."

"That's even more awesome!" Bakugo grin, if possible, got even bigger as the boys of class 1A and some of the boys from Remnant nodded in full agreement.

"You got that right man!" Sun yelled in exictement, "Can you image using that against Grimm? They wouldn't stand a chance, i bet i can even kill a Deathstalker with it or even a Golitah!"

"The next weapon, while not exactly a heavy duty one, is without just as dangerous as the others. This next weapon is called Dieselkraftwerk or Diesel Power Plant is basically a their version of gernade laucher." Wiz said in a slightly joking tone, as the weapon was shown on screen, "The Dieselkraftwerk's Blitzen-Diesel canister ammunition sticks to wall and enemies on impact. These canisters can be remotely detonated. Dual-wielding the Dieselkraftwerk automactically detonates canisters on impact. An ideal weapon for every type of enemy but if you want to give your enemies a little surprise, this is the weapon for you."

"Heheh." Gudako giggled at the sight of many jaw drops, "Closes those mouths of yours, you haven't seen the best one yet."

"But those three weapons all pale in comparison to one of Xero's biggest, deadliest heavy weapons in his aresnal." Boomstick spoke in a giddy tone, "Introducing the big, the beautiful, Übergewehr or otherwise known as Super-Rifle or as i like to call it, the Big Fucking Gun 2.0 or better yet, the Umber Hammer." The large weapon was shown on screen, getting some looks of awe from the auidence, "It is an energy weapon which uses charged laser energy together with diesel fuel to fire a sphere of energy strong enough to vaporize Supersoldaten in one shot. Even though it takes about five seconds to charge, it is well worth it. Take a lookie-lookie!"

The screen changed, to show Xero during the Battle Of New York, holding the massive weapon in hand and the hammer charging up with the red spinner, spining as the humming was heard, then.

POW

A red bolt of energy shot out of the weapon and when it hit a group of Loki's soldiers, "Brrrr-BAAAAAMMMMMMM!" Then without warning, a sphere of red energy emrged, enciricling the large group and when it died down, nothing was left. Only a small carter was left behind and any evidence of anything existencing there.

Ruby and Bakugo both fainted with massive smiles on their faces, having long since gone to weapon nivera at the sight of such a betufiual display of power. Despite this, everyone's eyes were glued to the screen, not at all expecting such a display of pure power from the bulky weapon.

"And the Nazi's of another world had this kind of weapon?" Bucky whispered in pure horror, unable to tear his eyes away from the screen. Forgot Red Skull's weapons, that one alone could cause MASSIVE amount of damage. Aside from the five second charge, it was indeed well worth the wait to unleash that kind of damage.

"So he didn't make that weapon, he just took it from someone else, right?" Weiss asked, an underline of sumgness leaking into her tone, making Gudako's eyebrow twitch, as did Olga's, not liking the sound of the white haired girl's tone.

"Yes, he did." Here, Gudako gained her own smug grin, "But not before battling his way through hundreds of Nazi's soldiers, advanced robotic soldiers that quite frankly makes Atlas's own little robots look like wind up toys AND fought a massive robot with enough armor that can easily outfit half of the armed forces with enough armor to tank a nuke bomb. No joke, that thing was fucking tough and he had to unleash a small scaled Lighting Storm to destroy it." The redhead's smile got bigger, as the second youngest of the Schnee family lost her smile, glaring at her for denying her whatever victory she might have had at insulting her dear Oni-chan.

Bitch had it coming, if she wants a fight, she'll get one.

"Why that little..."

Weiss herself wasn't too happy at getting knocked back down so easily by this unclothed girl. She was not petty, she was a Schnee and Schnee's were above such things as being petty, but she hated being shown up, once again, by someone else. Bad enough she lost what was supposed to be HER position as leader of team RWBY and while she may have accepted Ruby as team leader, her pride was still sore over being chosen by someone else.

Especially someone two years young then her.

And now she found out someone who was much better than her in pretty much everything, only barely a year older, her spiteful self couldn't help but try to take a shot at him. Only for her one-shot victory to not only be denied by the older redhead but she made it sound even better, seeing as he had taken it off a clearly powerful foe.

"No matter." Weiss thought to herself, turning back to the screen, ignoring Gudako, "This so called 'Curator' will show everyone that Mazoku isn't some saint or perfect, just a freak of nature. Like those Faunus."

"It should be noted that the Hammergewehr and Übergewehr are HEAVY weapons." Wiz put a lot of empathizes on the word heavy, "Meaning that no normal human, well built or not, can actually lift these weapons, let alone use them. In fact, in that universe, the only reason Blazkowicz and his daughters can use such weapons, is because they were power armor that enhances their strength a hundred-fold."

"And that's not even mentioning the kick back these weapons have." Boomstick with a wince, rubbing his shoulder, "Take about getting kicked by a mule. Using these two weapons is like getting kicked by a mule on steroids. The only reason Xero can use it, is because he's much stronger than any normal human, so it all balances out."

"That makes sense." All Might nodded, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, "The bigger and stronger the weapon, the bigger the blow back it is."

"Still the hammer on that thing must kick like a mother." Denki rubbed his shoulder, already feeling phantom pains of trying to use such a massive weapon.

"Ribbit, well that's one way to end a fight real quick." Tsyu put a finger to her chin, "I don't think any one, criminal or villain can stay in one piece after getting hit by that thing or want to fight it."

"You're telling me." Roman nearly crocked out like Asui would, looking at an equally pale Neo, "Neo, i think we backed the right horse here." The small woman nodded, forget Cinder! That weapon isn't just a weapon, it's a WMD!

"And just to add into his already deadly arsenal of firearms, old Reeps has three types of grenades. Two of which he got from his good friend, Ko-Rel and the third one is just a pee-wee pellet but it's basically a grenade anyway, so we'll call it that." Boomstick spoke with a grin, as the three mentioned grenades appeared, one outlined with a red light, the second with blue light and the third was tiny, pebble size gray, "The first, technically called a Thermal Detonator, is a thermal grenade was designed to be thrown by the user, planted in a specific location or on a specific vessel, or dropped by a vehicle. It would then adhere to any metallic object until it detonated. The reasons for using a thermal detonator varied widely, and despite the legal restrictions of many governments, the thermal detonator saw widespread use across the galaxy. Inside the shell, which was generally made of thermite or axidite, was a sample of baradium, a highly volatile substance. A trigger emitted a short burst of energy that forced the baradium into a state of fusion reaction. This trigger could simply be a button. Some had a fail-deadly trigger, meaning that if it was released, it would set off the grenade. Once activated, the user could reset the grenade to its safe position, thus disarming it before it detonated. The result of the explosion was an expanding particle field that could atomize any material that did not conduct heat or thermal energy within the fixed blast radius—typically five to six meters, though specific grenades could have a blast up to 100 meters. Unlike other grenades, a thermal detonator's blast would only go as far as its blast radius. After that, the blast field would collapse, and anything even slightly beyond the blast radius would be left unharmed. But damnit, all the good and cool stuff is either in the hands of the bad guys or outlawed!"

"Holy shit, that is one dangerous grenade!" Neptune said outload, unable to keep his shock contained, as many agreed with him, that was a dangerous grenade. Bakugo, who had woken back up from his weapon overload of joy, was grinning widly at the sight of the epic grenade. Oh yes, Bakugo approved wholeheartedly.

Even if his explosions were better, that didn't mean he couldn't admire someone else's beautiful symphony of destruction. Not that he was the only one, as Nora was grinning just as wild, wondering if she could get big boss to lead her a few of those grenades.

"Yes, well this one will be a lot shorter and simpler." Wiz said, smiling slightly, as the screen focused on the next grenade, "The Anti-Gravity Grenade, when thrown, all enemies in its blast radius will have their artificial gravity turned off. Perfect for lifting enemy soldiers into the air, exposing them to gunfire, as it deploys an array of anti-gravity generators and forces anything within its range upward. Very handy for hostage situations or enemies hiding away in their hidey holes."

"And next up is the most common ninja tool, the smoke pellet or smoke bomb, whichever you preferred to call it." Boomstick spoke, as the third greneade was shown, "A smoke bomb is a firework designed to produce smoke upon ignition. Smoke bombs are useful to airsoft games, paintball games, self-defence and practical jokes. They are also used in smoke tests and inarly Japanese history saw the use of a rudimentary form of the smoke bomb. Explosives were common in Japan during the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. Soft cased hand-held bombs were later designed to release smoke, poison gas and shrapnel made from iron and pottery. The modern smoke bomb was created in 1848, by the British inventor Robert Yale. He developed 17th-century Chinese-style fireworks and later modified the formula to produce more smoke for a longer period of time. Old Reeps however uses them for a more particular use, scaringe enemies, vanishing or just striaght up blinding them, allowing him to pick them off one by one. When is so much easier thanks to his recreated Assassin's Creed Syndicate Legendary Hidden Blade Gauntlet."

"A very smart and useful tool to have on hand." Aizawa muttered to himself, wondering idly if he himself shouldn't start investing into getting his own smoke bombs. His fighting style was better for one on one and seeing as what happened during the USJ attack, perhaps having something that could blind his enemies wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Sure, his Quirk couldn't work if he couldn't see his opponents, but they couldn't see him either, so vice versa they couldn't use thier own Quirks if they couldn't see him coming.

It was something to think about.

"Speaking of the Hidden Blade, his Assassin Gauntlet, while it is a remake to look exactly like the one from the game, it has all of it's fuctions." Wiz said, as the mentioned item appeared on screen, "According to the Assassin's Creed Wiki, he Assassin Gauntlet was a modification adopted during the 19th century to the standard Hidden Blade. Built around a bracer that covered the entire forearm, it consisted of two main parts, the Hidden Blade and a rope launcher attachment. By the Victorian era, later models replaced the rope launcher with an Assassin insignia-shaped grappling hook, allowing the wielder the means to a quick escape, or to facilitate urban travel by creating on-the-fly ziplines under the palm. These models also featured armor plating that partially or completely covered the glove, as well as embedded brass knuckles and a Dart Gun on the back of the forearm, which was used to launch poison darts at unsuspecting targets."

"Plus it's not only comfrable to wear, it's cool as hell to wear!" Boomstick cut in, showing off his own AC Gauntlet, "Man, this thing looks so badass!"

"It does." Ruby said with a smile, her mind already going into overdrive, planning to make her own. She wasn't the only one, as Melissa and Mei were already thinking on how to make their own. A tool like that could be very effective if used right, remove the hazardous martials and killing items, it could be very effective way to take down villains.

Hell, Mei was already thinking of replacing the hidden blade with a hidden TASER! Both heroes and police officers would line up to buy them!

"Oh boy, Ruby has THAT look in her eye." Tai muttered to his wife, as Summer giggled but nodded in agreement. Her daughter was always fascinated by any and all new types of weapons, even if she shouldn't have them. It was just a matter of how much it would take for Xero to allow Ruby to look at his blueprints, while Summer had faith Ruby could figure it out, if she wasn't careful, she could lose a finger or two.

"I wonder if boss wouldn't mind making some for us?" Eren wondered out loud to himself, as Fury answered that.

"I wouldn't worry about Jeager, you and the rest of your squad are not only going to be reassigned but you're all going to be re-equipped as well."

"Reassigned director?"

"Don't worry, you and your squad will stay together." Fury said firstly, notcing the look of worry on his face, "While you all will still be apart of the Scouting divison of SHEILD, your squad will be re-made into the Vanguard, the pointy tip of the spear if you will, against not only the Grimm but the Cult of Umber as well and for that, you need new equipment if you want to successed against them. You all will be working closely with not just Xero but the Avengers and the Church as well to ensure the future of our world. Understood?"

"Yes sir!"

Eren couldn't help but smile, as did the rest of his squad at the news. Being a SHEILD agent is one thing but helping to save the world? Well, it was nothing short of awseome!

"But that's not all, as Xero fights more then with just firearms or melee weapons, he fights the psychology way as too with this!" Wiz said, presenting to the world, Scarecrow's Fear Toxin Glove, "Taken off the defeated Scarecrow by his partner and fellow master Gudako, Xero has taken to using his enemies worse fear against them. While illusions are good and all, there is no sure way to know that it will work against them or even present them with their worst fears. Even if he is brilliant at psychological, there is just no way to know for certain but using Scarecrow's fear toxin CAN ensure it works and it also hides his magic, which is a big plus."

"While it can be injected via these long, pointy syringes on the end of his glover, it can also be disputed in the air, but it only lasts for about a minute." Boomstick added, "Wouldn't want anyone else, other than the intended target to be gassed, now would we. But thankful, he rarely does it or use the toxin itself, save for when he is interrogation his enemies."

"Well, he not wrong." Logan muttered to himself, remembering the number of HYDRA assholes Xero had used that very same glove on and how those fanatical idiots, who were so insanely loyal to Schmidt and were more than happy to die for him, sang like canaries not five minutes after.

Wiz spoke went onto the next weapon, his scythe. "His most used melee weapon is his signature weapon and what gave him Harvester. Infused with magic, his scythe can split into two, smaller scythes for mobility and can be used as a long-ranged weapon, whenever he needed. Not to mention the runes he inscribed onto the halt of the scythe gives him element options as well."

"Which is mostly lighting, fire, ice and wind." Boomstick broke down, as the screen showed Xero with his scythes behind his back, knee's, bent to crouch down slightly with his scythes crossed behind his back, both blades on fire.

"Most of his melee weapons have the same runes inscribed onto them to allow the same effects." Wiz said, as the screen showed several times Xero used different melee weapons. "Plus, like his claymore, he can summon his weapon back to his hand, like it was the Leviathan Axe from God Of War. But aside from his scythe and a certain claymore, this scythe is one of his most used weapons, which earned him the title of 'Grimm Reaper' in the underworld. You see this scythe; you know he's coming for Ya."

"And once again, it's also for psychological warfare." Boomstick cut in, "When one thinks of death in a pyshical form, they think of the Grim Reaper with a tattered cloak, a skull face and, you guessed it, a sycthe. Nice work Reeps, you have made some of the most dangerous men on the planet fear you like you were death yourself."

"Well, he's not wrong." Eddie muttered to himself, chewing on the half of a Hersery's bar, while silently handing Venom his own piece, as the symbiote bit into it without anyone seeing it.

"His next weapon, is his family's sword, passed down from clan head to clan head, from his first anesctor, Miria." Wiz said, as an image of Black-Rose appeared, "The double edge claymore blade, Blackrose. Fun fact, black rose flowers signifying a rebirth or a major change, black roses are known to represent optimism and hope."

"Really?" Boomstick asked, intreged by this piece of infromation.

"Yep." Wiz nodded with a smile, "It wasn't just because she could, Miria specifically chose the name Black-Rose, to symbolize the rebirth of her and her fellow warrior's new lease on life. Not only that, but the sword could only be wielded by the clan head and as such, the name Black-Rose also symbolizes a new dawn, a new head of the family, a new day."

"Aww, that's nice." Boomstick spoke, no trace of sarcasm in his voice, just genuine aweness.

"It is." Izuku spoke with a smile on his face, matching many other smiles at the symbolic meaning behind the name.

"Anyway, the massive sword aside from pretty much being able to tear through anything and being able to summon back to his hand, Black-Rose is basically the sword form of his scythe." Wiz said, "But it's mostly used as a killing weapon, meant to rip and tear through enemy defenses with ease."

"The next sword is a bit more complex and perhaps even more dangerous, the Meijikirā." Boomstick said, showing off the longsword, "Otherwise known as Mage Killer, as this puppy was designed to KILL Magus, more to the point, meant to cut through any type of magical defense or armor. The weapon was based off of Diarmuid Ua Duibhne spear mana cutter, Gae-Dearg. Seeing as how many magically foes he has faced, I'd say that's a smart thing to have. Be ten steps ahead of the enemy."

"It is." Clover nodded in approval, "Being ready for anything can be difficult and hard but it's well worth it, when you need it."

"And given all the shit that happens when the boss is around, that may not be a bad idea at all." Annie said without emotion, not really insulting Xero, just stating fact. A LOT of shit happened when he was around, and it paid if you weren't prepared.

"The next weapon is Tsuneni katto, otherwise known as 'Always Cut'." Wiz spoke, as a beautifully crafted Katana blade appeared on screen, wrapped in a black/white sheath, much to awe of the viewers, "Unlike the rest of his weapons, this Katana was forged by the legendary black smith, Gorō Nyūdō Masamune. Endowed with his wind magic, this blade is not only sharp but every time it hits something, a small thin blade of wind cuts whatever it hits. Whether it lands an attack directly or not, something is going to get cut, hence why the name Tsunei Katto, in japansese quite literally translate to Always Cut."

"Cause it will ALWAYS get you, one way or another." Boomstick CUT in.

"But, as good as all these deadly weapons are, they aren't very good in tight closed spaces." Wiz spoke, pointing to the very large, very LONG claymore sword, "Which is why Xero decide to make himself some shorter, but no less danger melee weapons, like Taiyo and Tsuki. Otherwise known as Sun and Moon, twin Obsidian made Kukri's. Now, you might be wondering, why did Xero chosen to make these blades specifically out of Obsidian."

"Simply because Obsidian blades never dull." Boomstick said simply, "That's it, not only do they look cool, but the blades will never dull no matter what and that is exactly what he wants. These aren't meant for long draw out fights, they're meant to fight short, close-up fights."

"Having multiple weapons, each for a different reason and purpose might be difficult but it is well worth the advantage they would give you." Glynda spoke, mostly to herself finding herself approving of his thought process. While most of her students had mech-shift weapons, they only rely on that weapon alone.

"Agreed." Ozpin and Nezu said at the same time, both headmasters finding Xero's way of doing things very particual and something to take notes from. Not killing or being ruthless but having many options for oneself and having more than just one skill set. Be they Quirk, aura, semblance or even magic. At the end of the day, the greatest weapon, the greatest tool you have is the one between you're ears.

Seriously, some of the younger ones could learn something from the teen, seeing as they would more than likely to listen to him, rather than to adults. It was just how teenagers were, they don't like to listen to adults and being rebellions against them was just in their nature.

Just like making mistakes is part of being a teenager, as this was all a simple part of growing up.

"As said before, not all his weapons were made by his own hands." Wiz said, as a long knife black/purple blade appeared on screen with a small hook at the end of edge, with a black wrapped handle, "One of these weapons is his Hassan fashioned Kunai, one he got from his previous Serenity."

"Previous Serenity?" Momo questioned, as Gudako gained a sad smile, while Olga simply stayed stone face. That isn't to say she didn't feel bad about what happened to Xero's first version Serenity but she didn't die needlessly. The Assassin died doing her duty, protecting her master to the bitter end, even if that meant she had to die in his place.

"Yeah, still kind of feel sad at watching that." Boomstick spoke to himself, "It should come as no surprise for someone who is willing to commit genocide to protect her master, that if she had to die to keep him safe, even if that meant she would lose her memories, she could do it without a second of hesitation. Xero keep the same knife, as both a reminder of what happened and to give the bastard who caused her death, a taste of it."

The screen changed to show Xero being choked by Berserker Cu Alter's spiked tail, as the Servant spoke, "Hurts, doesn't it?" The Alter spoke with a cruel smile, as Xero grunted, feeling his consciousness leave but still smile never less.

"No...But this WILL!" Without giving the Berserker a chance to question it, Xero summoned Sereinty's knfie and STABBED THE BASTARD RIGHT IN THE EYE!

"AGH! YOU DAMN HUMAN!" The Berserker threw him away, ripping the hooked knife out of his eye, as te screen foze with Boomstick commenting.

"Damn, I've heard an eye for an eye but i think that's taking it a bit too literally."

"I'll say." Endeavor winced, rubbing his own eye, damn did that look painful and why did he feel like he would know the same kind of pain? Like, watching this was like a foreboding warning. Why was that?

"The next weapon in his arsenal is pretty standard and one very common weapon of the Church, the Black Keys." The screen changed to show the cross halted swords, "These weapons are a sacrament of the Church, one of their many charms used against demons and vampires. Seeing how useful they are against many of his enemies, Xero decide it would be a good idea to add these little evil slayers to his collection of weapons."

"Which turned out to be a very good idea to do." Boomstick spoke, "As Keys of Providence, they are able to call forth the original laws of nature vampires were subject to as humans, thus preventing them through purification from healing the wounds made with this weapon. Emphasized on the ability to intervene spiritually against 'evil', they focus less on physical attack power, even affecting powerful spirits like Servants to some degree should they be struck. It is not enough to inflict any sort of fatal injury to them no matter how much energy is put into them, but they can be used to distract or pin them for a brief moment under the right circumstances. But enough of that, let's get to the good shit!" He spoke in an exicted tone, as the screen changed to show one of Xero more burtal weapons, Warth, a-

"Is that a chainsaw-sword?" Ruby questioned, quickly noticing the detail and how well made the large, one edge blade was.

"Isn't that kind of weapon a bit much?" Midnight questioned, having bad thoughts at how badly that kind of sword could mess someone up, "Xero already has plenty of dangerous weapons, why would he need something so...brutal as that?"

"Paradon me." Bart spoke up, as he looked at Father Vincent and the Chruch duo, "But when Mr. Boomstick said that these Black Keys are meant to destroy evil, would they work against the Grimm?"

"Given the nature of the Grimm as 'creatures of darkness' the Black Keys will not only work but will work far better than any weapon you have created." The bald man smile, "That is not to say your weapons are inferior but that is simply the nature of Black Keys, they exist as spirit weapons to destroy evil or rather, darkness itself. If nothing else, armor or not, the Black Keys will work wondrous on even the strongest Grimm."

The green haired doctor nodded, "Thank you Father Vincent, this will help us greatly."

"Of course, it does."

More and more she learned, the more Cinder felt like the deck was being staked against her. Fate was on her side, so why was everything in this new world seemed to be working against her?!

She had a destiny, Fate itself was in her favor!

Right?

"Warth, aka his chainsaw-sword and one of the weapons his Avenger self-had created in the future to combat some of the deadliest zombies in the Dead War, The Ghoul Zombie." An image of a new type of zombie appeared on screen, unlike most zombies, this one had more than four limbs. The Zombie's mouth was non-existent, as it looks like someone has forced the mouth wide open, replacing the teeth with fangs. Its arms were stretched out, spider like arms with small stakes at the end of its hands, with four, small arms coming out of its stomach in a very grotesque manner with a snarling face, rather than an expressionless, shambling slow moron one like most normal zombies.

"Oh, that's not right." Spider-Man said, sounding like his face was green and sick, "What makes them so dangerous, looking ugly?" But as always, he couldn't help but talk smack.

"Aside from looking uglier than one of those predators from the AVP movies, these types of zombies have three deadly functions that make them so dangerous." Boomstick said, unknowingly copying Peter, "First and foremost, these bastards can regenerate almost instantly, making killing them a real pain in the ass. Hence why old Reeps needs something that will not only cut them but tear their flesh asunder, so he has a chance to finish them off before they decide to get back up and seeing as they like to attack in packs, he has to do it real fucking quick. The second, is the fact they don't just eat flesh, these things were created to KILL. As in kill everything that moves, if they spot you, they WILL come after you, regardless of the fact they have meat to munch on."

"Okay, so clearly these zombies were made as some sort of vanguard or assult force for the Rotten world but i honestly don't see how much more worse they can get." Jaune spoke, mostly to himself, "Zombies are tough enough to kill as it is, unless they have some sort of magic."

"Oh Jaune, you have yet to see the worst part about these monsters." Gudako sighed, envying his innocence and ignorance a bit, "The best way i can describe it, is that the Ghouls zombies are the equivalent to the Grimm called Apathy."

"Apathy?!" Port yelled, eyes wide in horror, as were the rest of the veteran huntsman, "You don't mean-"

"But it's the third ability that makes these Ghouls so dangerous, as its unclear how the Six did it, but the Ghoul zombies are able to produce pheromones that induce psychosis into people." Wiz said, revealing a horrible truth to everyone, "Perhaps it is magic, perhaps it's how they were made, it could be anything, but one underlying fact is the Ghoul zombies are one of the deadliest zombies ever created, not just because of what they can do, but because of what they are. Even dead will not stop the pheromones from being released into the air."

"That's how these zombies were able to bring down Wakanda in just one week, despite all their advanced technology." Boomstick said, not knowing he had just spilled some beans not meant to be spilt just yet, "When Wakanda sent out a distress signal and Xero with his new team went to assist, all they found was a seen straight out of Slaughterhouse."

The screen changed to show the halls of the once great nation, now stained with blood, guts and dismembered bodies all over the place in vairous locations, with no hope for surivival.

"My god." No one could say anything, what could they say after seeing such a seen. They could only look on with horror and some were crying at the sight, unable to contain their emitions at the sight.

"You just had to ask huh?" Well, not everyone, as Weiss, while equally horrorfied to learn just how dangerous this new type was, did the only thing she could: Mock Arc.

"Can Salem make a new type of Grimm like these Ghouls?"

Oh, and we forgot about miss bitchy bitch aka Cinder. The arrogant woman herself, was thinking about asking her mistress if she could recreate the Apathy into something like these Ghouls, taking away will is good and all but making people go psycho? Make people tear themselves apart?

That was so much better.

"Well, i think we now understand why he has such a weapon." Ghira said, unable to find fault with creating such a burtal weapon, when he was facing off against enemies like that. It was kind of hard to argue with that. His wife nodded, as Khan and the Albain brothers looked paler than normal, clearly seeing how, if Mazoku ever turned his sword on them, a quick death would be off the table.

"But the sword is massive and not very good in tight, small, narrow hallways." Boomstick said, getting nods from the weapon nerds, as that blade, while it wasn't as big as Black-Rose, was still a whole lot of weapons to lunge around, "So rather than just wait for something to happen, old Reeps did some research and with the help with tech from Symkaria, created a real-life Lightsaber!" The screen changed, to show Xero wielding the pure white plasma blade.

"Actually, he calls it a Photon sword." Wiz said simply, not damping Boomstick's excitement, "Even if it is basically a lightsaber, this Photon sword is called Hikari, which translate to Light. Very appropriate name." Wiz chuckled at the choice in name.

"I WANT THAT!" Mei exploded at seeing such a pretty baby, all but jumping out of her seat, ready to reach into the screen and pluck that baby from Xero's hands, only for Mr. Power Loader to stop her, by grabbing her shoulders, forcing her to seat down, much to her dismay.

"Down Hatsume!"

"But Sir-"

"Down girl!"

"Incredible!" Doctor Polendina spoke, eyes wide in amazement as he looked at the glowing blade of light, "To be able to contrast a weapon that can focus plasma so perfectly that it can take shape, let alone remain stable to actually use it in live combat is extraordinary! Even with our recent advancements in hard light Dust technology, nothing comes close to this elegant weapon!"

"Is it really that shocking?" Tony asked, genuinely surprised at the excitable doctor's words, "I would have figured the 'greatest kingdom in Remnant' would have lightsabers in all of its soldier's hands."

"Most of our hard light Dust generations are all big and bulky, needing to be that size to sustain the energy field to produce the stable field to keep the energy from going in every direction." The doctor said simply, "Even then, only our mechs have had the strength to uphold them and it's still relatively new to us. Mr. Stark, if you don't mind, can-"

"No."

The doctor frowned, as did the general and councilmen at being denied a clearly revolutionary piece of equipment. Not the photon sword itself but how it was able to stabilize the energy to turn into an energy sword.

"Why not?" Sleet asked, trying to keep his temper in check, "Mr. Stark you clearly don't understand-"

"Yeah, no let me stop you right there." Tony interrupted, holding his hand up, "You are not getting it from me, since one, it's not mine to give away. It's my son, HE made that with his own two hands for his use alone and i promised him that i would not give away any of his secrets."

"Even if he's kept so many secrets from you?" Sleet probed, unwillingly to let such a revolutionary over something so ridiculous as a promise, "That piece of technology can help save thousands, millions of lives even."

"It can also cause the death of just as many too in the wrong hands and seeing as how Atlas has lost, what was it Ritsuka?" Tony looked at his adopted daughter, "Ten Paladins to the White Fang because of Miss fire and brimstone?"

"Eleven actually."

"How did you know that?!" Ironwood demanded, feeling shocked run through his system at the classified information being shared so bluntly by someone who wasn't even from Remnant.

"You really need to update your cybersecurity." Tony said simply, as he looked back at Sleet, "And second, my kid was smart enough to write the blueprints in not only his family Grimoire that can only be accessed by the clan head of the Mazoku clan, but it's all written in ancient Avalon, the lagune of the Magus, so even if i did give you the blueprints, you wouldn't be able to read it."

"Ah, yes i see." Father Vincent however looked surprised and then pleased, "Yes, it was very clear for Lord Maozku to write it in ancient Avalon. Seeing as hardly any Magus even knows the language, let alone how to read it, it makes sense that using that would be the perfect way to not only hide their secrets but ensure only those they want to know them, will be the only ones to have the means to do so."

The councilman gritted his teeth at this tabbit of information, if what they said was true, then stealing the info would be next to impossible. However, it was Clover that stopped him from saying something that could destroy any bridges between the two.

"Look, i get it. Magus are the real secretive type, keeping things close to the chest, so what can we do to smoothen relationships between Atlas and the Avengers? We're all on the same side after all."

"Besides keeping Hare, the angry bunny away from my son?" Tony asked, jerking a thumb towards Harriet, much to her anger, "Prove you are trustworthy and mini-me might, he MIGHT share what his data with you but i wouldn't count on it. But keep in mind, Xero is slow to trust, and it took six months for him to sleep without one eye open in my tower and I'm his father. So, i would say best of luck, but you're going to need more than luck."

"How can we get him to trust us?" Vine asked, ever the diplomat of the Ace-Ops, as Tony simply snorted.

"That's your problem, not mine." He glared hard at Sleet and Ironwood, "You want our trust, earn it."

Selfish, arrogant and cowardly.

That was the word on the tip of both Winter and Weiss's tongues, but they keep it to themselves, seeing as how quickly his people were quick to defend Xero. Though as much as it angered Winter to hear constant insults and veiled barbs, she could not deny any of it and realistically speaking, the blueprints to this photon sword WERE his property.

He thought of it, desgined it and created it, therefore it was his to use as he saw fit by law, until he did something illegal with it.

Atlas might have been the most technologically advanced kingdom in the world, but it has come nowhere near to the level of creating something as sophisticated as Hikari and there was nothing she could do. Not without pissing off a lot of powerful people in the process and that wasn't even including the Iron Man armor that the father of Mazoku had created.

Many in Atlas wanted that suit handed over to them but seeing as how the US army was denied it, it was very doubtful that he would give Atlas it either. Even if they could buy it off him, Stark was one of the richest men in the world and seriously, what use would he have for their currency? And even if they do convince him, his son would most certainly not and there was no way of knowing for certain if Stark could read this language of the Magus.

Did Mazoku even teach his father how to read it or did he keep that close to the chest too?

"No." Winter mentally shook her head, looking back the screen, "As much as it pains me to admit, father's idea might have some merit to it. Mazoku won't sell the designs for profit, while that's not exactly a bad thing, this is something that could help everyone but only if we know HOW he did it! Brothers i hate this, I'll ask General Ironwood but i'm sure he'll approve of me, the boy likes tall women after all. So, all i have to do, is...is..."

Getting close to a teenager and if need be, seduce the boy, possibly become a part of his harem and get him to give up his secrets. As mature as he was, he was still a teenager and they liked sex.

A lot.

Winter hands fell into her hands, Brothers did she hate the mission already. But if it would help protect Remnant, Atlas and most of all, her little sister, than she would do just that.

No matter how much she hated it.

"Whatever." Boomstick waved off Wiz's comment, "Anyway, this baby is actually supposed to be an improved version of Warth, a replacement. Which makes sense, as torn flesh could be repaired but burned, completely destroyed flesh? I don't think so son and damn, i really, really want that." The co-host made a 'gimme' montion with his hands towards the Photon sword.

"That makes sense." Hawks nodded, "Wielding that is a lot easier, than picking up and swinging around a heavy chainsaw. Not to mention burnt flesh is much harder to regenerate than torn flesh." The blonde man frowned, as he thought about all the evil shit, he had seen in his hero career. He'd seen all manner of death, including people being shot, torn apart and burnt.

"But that isn't the only type of energy-based weapon in his arsenal." Wiz said, as it showed Xero fighting several shadowed figures, bullets keep firing at him, only to be blocked by a light blue/white sphere like shield, "This is the Necrotic Shield, originally powered by hydration fuel cells by his Avenger self, this one is powered by the Arc reactor his father made, the Sheild is the ultimate defense. It is an energy barrier that disintegrates incoming projectiles with ease. It was created by his Avenger self to not only protect himself but the soldiers from the undead army, as just one bite, one STRACTH from these creatures and you will become one of them."

"Seeing as his Avenger self-did not have access to the same level of tech his present self has, he had to make do with hydration fuel cells." Boomstick chuckled darkly, "But then again, we all know what happens if you rupture one of these cells and seeing as how dying in Avenger Xero time usually means you become undead fodder, that option was much more preferable."

The screen changed to show a nameless soldier was clutching his bleeding stomach, as his other hand touch the belt, given to him by his general, that not only allowed him to use the Necrotic Shield but housed its power source. The incoming dead made him smile grimly, as the fuel cells looked very much damage and was hissing out air. "Burn in hell, you sons of bitches." Then he tossed the hissing cell onto the ground, as it violently rumbled a bit.

The screen pans out, a half a mile away and then.

"KA-BOOM"

A small but powerful explsion was screen, wiping everything out within a half a mile.

"Oh. My. God." That was all Momo could say, hell that was all anyone could think after seeing another game changing item Xero had created, used to wipe out a horde of zombies within just seconds, even if it killed it's user. Not that he was already dead but in doing so, he ensured that he wouldn't become another undead fodder for the Rotten World's army.

The military men, all saluted the brave soldier for what he did, even on the verge of death, he made sure the enemy suffered losses of their own. Even if it was only the bare minimum, it was still something.

"As you can guess, you lot will also be outfitted for your own Necrotic Shields." Gudako said with a small smirk at the god smacked looks from team Levi, "Wouldn't do for you all to get killed by some random lucky idiot."

"You're kidding?" Levi actually looked shocked, his stoic mask long forgotten, "Bright Eyes is actually making us those shields."

"Well, we have been able to shriek it down so all you have to do is wear a belt, it's still a work in progress." Tony offhandedly said, "We still have to get your blood, in order to make Blood-Seals to each person's Personal Sheild Generator or PSG, to ensure it can't be stolen. Wouldn't do for the bad guys to get our tech and use our own weapons against us."

"Sweet." Grins broke out amongst the squad, each one talking excitedly, save for Annie of course but the small smile on her face said everything. However that didn't stop Ironwood and Sleet from apporching Tony and Pepper.

"Mr. Stark-"

"No."

The genearl and conilman frowned, with Sleet speaking, "Mr. Stark do you have any idea how many lives this device can save? If you would just-"

"The answer still no." This time, it was Pepper who cut Sleet off, "It was my son who created this device and unless we get express premission, we cannot, will not share how he created the PSG."

"Plus, mini-me replaced the energy source with the Arc Reactor, as in MY personal proptery and as i have no interest in selling it, you aren't getting jack." Tony's smile turned more shark like, "And as i recall, you Atlas lot seem to have a problem with holding onto stuff, like a certain eleven giant, ugly as hell death robots?"

The general's face turned red, from either anger or embarrassment was unclear, "That's-"

"Now, now." Ozpin got between the two, playing the peace maker, "We are all on the same side. Surely there is something we can work out, Mr. Stark. As James and Councilmen Sleet have said, this device can save hundreds if not thousands of lives. Huntsman can even use this, so when they go into the Grimm Lands, their chance of survival is that much higher."

"While i won't deny that it can just as easily destroy lives." Tony subconsciously rubbed his chest, where his Arc Reactor was, "You understand that one of the main reasons why i stopped making weapons, is because i saw my them, the very i weapons i created to protect my country were not only used to kill America troops but were used by terrorist to kill innocents. Whether i like it or not, their blood is on MY hands. My weapons, my name, my fault. I created the Iron Man armor to not only stop the Ten Rings from using my weapons to kill innocents, i used it to destroy all of my weapons that were sold to the bad guys and right my own wrongs."

"But it was the terrorists that killed people, not you." Sleet pointed out, as Tony shook his head.

"Nope. My company, my name on the side of the missile, my fault, my mess to clean up." His eyes harden, "Just as raising my kid, my son was also my respoiablilty that his mother didn't tell me before she passed on to the next world. Now, up until three years ago, i never wanted kids and was terrified of raising one but ever since i met him, i wanted nothing more then to be involved with his life. I want my son to know he can trust me, that i will help him and love him no matter what he does, as i have no right to judge him for his actions. So if you think i would betray his trust for profit or even something like saving lives, than your dead wrong. It might be selfish but i have always been a bit selfish, so if you want his weapons, his shield," Tony waved a hand between them, "prove to my kid, that he can trust you and if you can't, then your out of luck."

It was very selfish to deny something that could not only save many soldiers' lives but many others and help revolutionize defenses around the world, but what could Ironwood do? It all boilded back down to one simple thing:

Trust.

Xero had no trust in many people, beyond his circle of friends and those his Avenger self had known in the future and beyond. It would be difficult and if anything out of the book of NULL was true, than it be nigh impossible to earn his trust.

"No matter. I can have Winter or maybe Elm get closer to his son." Yes, soldiers they might have been but surely, the two adult women could wrangle answers out of a hormonal teenager.

Right?

"Man, looking at all these weapons, it's like half of them came out of a Sc-fi movie." Jaune said in amazement, as his team nodded in agreement.

"It does." Ren thought back to his own weapons, "I wonder if Mazoku would be able to help me reconfigure Storm Flower to house regular bullets or even allow me to use that duplication rune of his?"

"Ah i wouldn't worry about it Renny." Nora threw her arm around the boy, starting to choke the poor boy, "I'm sure Big Boss would let us. All we've got to do is prove that he can trust us and seeing as your always honest and I'm me, he'll trust us in no time."

Well, she wasn't wrong. Ren personally believed lies were worthless and did nothing but hurt others. And Nora? Nora was honest in everything she did and was as pure as they came, at least in actions, so he didn't doubt her.

"You're fucking shitting me." Mercury compilated at seeing this new hurled, feeling their chances at winning grow dimmer and dimmer, "What kind of fucking load of bullshit is this!"

"Mercury, shut up!" Emerald hissed, feeling the same as Merucry but knew to keep her mouth shut. She could see her beloved mistress was just as anger and wanted to take it out on something and was trying to make sure it wasn't them that she took her anger out on.

"But the Sheild isn't the only thing that helps protect Xero." Wiz spoke, as an image of the black and red Iron Reaper armor appeared. Like Tony's suit, it had the Arc reactor in the middle of the chest and was painted black, with red mixed into it. But that is where it stopped, as unlike the Iron Man's suit, the face plate looked more like an actually skull with no nose or eyes and it had mechanical bone wings on the back, spread out, "What we have before us, is the Mark 1 suit, The Iron Reaper armor. Given to him by his father on his seventeen birthday."

"Man, he is so lucky." Boomstick whined, "All i got on my birthday from my day was a black eye!"

Some winced at the dark joke and many idly wondered what the reslhasip between Boomstick and his dad was.

"Much like Tony's suit, it has the same functions as it." Wiz said, moving on.

"Much like his old man, the Iron Reaper suit have the strength to lift up over 100 tons, fly at supersonic speeds, and can link up with the AI JRAVIS, plus the suit itself withstands prolonged and extreme combat situations with relatively minor damage" Boomstick said with a grin, "Which in turn can link up with his Focus thingy, giving him tons of valuable info during a fight, clue him into weakness of his enemies, connect with any computer in the world or even the satellites to find him intel and even control his weaponry of the suit, while old Reeps does something else entirely. Damn, now that's what i can multitasking."

Xero was already dangerous enough as it is but to hear he not only had his own Iron Man suit, only made those who found the boy a threat to their plans sweat even more. Espically the AI known as JRAVIS, as Cinder knew, even if that arrogant ass Watts could hack into the suit itself, would he be able to fight off the AI?

"But, as usually, that's simply not enough for Xero." Wiz chuckled, "Nor would his father hear of it, as his father made sure to outfit his son's suit with ever weapon, he had and then some."

"Yes!" Ruby squealed in excitement, "More weapons!" This was the greatest day of her life, never once has Ruby had the pleasure to see so many weapons in one place and each one so unique! ~ This was heaven!

"Yep, like his old man's suit, the Iron Reaper suit comes equipped with shoulder mounted darts, rockets, anti-tank missiles, an EMP and of course the Iron Man special, Laser beams!" Boomstick said.

"Did he just say lasers?!" Bakugo yelled, once again grinning ear to ear, as his redhead friend yelled out "Manly" or something along those lines. The ash haired blonde wasn't listening, to enchanted with the sight of sheer beauty.

"These Repulsors effect is created by taking excess electrons and turning them into muons which can penetrate deep into atomic matter before being fed to the hands and chest piece of any Iron Man suit." Wiz said, explaining the details of the suit's abilities, "The suit then takes in air through the suit and runs it to any of the emitters. An electric current running through the suit's gauntlets creates a small amount of plasma which ignite the energy for projection."

"Man, now i want an Iron Man suit." Yang said, grinning imaging herself in her own, yellow coated suit, causing her family to shiver. Oh Brothers, Yang was already powerful and reckless enough as it was, she didn't need more fire power!

"Me too!" Nora said, causing Ren to shiver.

"I know right?" Mei grinned, nodding in agreement with the rest of them, as the blonde Sheild looked thoughtfully at the suit.

"Well dad, i think it's safe to assume Mr. Stark has made something that surpasses all your projects." David laughed good naturally at his daughter's comment.

"No doubt honey." The man grinned slight at her, "This just means i have to work harder if i want to meet the high bar Mr. Stark has set for me."

"Indeed, my old friend." All Might patted his shoulder, "But i know you if anyone can reach it, it'll be you."

"Plus, he's also got miniature cluster bombs, homing missiles, mulit-directional repulsors." Boomstick said, "Oh and he smartly put flares into the hips, so he can avoid heat seaking missiles or just missiles in general. That not even including the built in his laser system. A pair of one-use lasers that could be used to cut anything with even the briefest contact, regardless of what it was. They are mounted and fired from the handplates of the suit. These are made from Palladium cartridges. They could be used only once."

"And, not one to leave a good weapon to gather dust, old Reeps even repurposed and rebuilt Ivan Vanko's improved Arc Whips." Boomstick said, as the screen changed to show the man in question, using his whips to attack Tony in the race, "Damn, i have heard of cracking the whip but that's taking it a bit far."

"I think that whip, far surpasses your own Seinna." Kali said with wide eyes at the level of damage one whip strike was able to do, as the tigeress nodded, wincing at the thought of getting hit by one of those.

She probably lose her arm, aura or not.

"Not to mention the armor is strong enough to tank pretty much anything." Boomstick said, as a clip of Xero fighting in his Mark 1 armor during the Battle of New York, "The fact he was able to fight for an entire day, while tanking alien soldiers with advanced weapons and the God Of Lies himself, you know this armor is worth every penny."

"The Suit itself can do anything his father's suit can do." Wiz said, putting that fact up, "But what Tony's suit doesn't have, is his son's Focus." The screen changed again to show the device in question, "A small, augmented reality device that can be worn by human users that serves as a multipurpose sensory interface. This device is responsive to the user's gestures and voice and displays a visual 3D interface visible only to them, aiding in the operation of machinery and technology alike, as well as in communications."

"So, basically JARVIS on steroids?" Boomstick asked/joked.

"Well, yes actually." Wiz said, "The Focus can attach itself the side of the user's head, through the use of magnetism and magic. It is extremely durable, and it's been proven as Xero's had his skull smacked around a lot, not to mention he uses his Lighting magic to keep it charged, so he never has to take it off.When activated, a ring of light illuminates around the device. The interface is within a wide geodesic polyhedron of holographic light, and important markers are also indicated with holographic light in purple and blue hues. The Focus also contains a suite of sensors that can scan and reveal the location of animals, humans, and machines in a certain range. It is somehow linked to the technology present in machines as well, as Xero can scan machines with it, revealing information about them such as components and behavior, and in some cases, the three-dimensional interface will extend and adapt to machines to facilitate some processes. Hell, it can even repair damaged data and recreate them when needed."

Izuku wrote down all the information as fast as he could, while Penny continued to record all the data she was recving from these videos. Everyone else stayed quiet, listening to everything they had to say.

"But the Iron Reaper armor isn't the only type of armor he has." Boomstick said, as the screen changed to show his mother, Lilith in the Immortal Guardian Armor, "While this armor may not be able to shoot out missiles like nobody's business, it CAN protect Xero not only from pretty much any and all attacks but from the wrath of the elements themselves. The armor has been endowed and enchanted throughout the many, many centuries to better protect the clan head, as this armor can only be worn by the clan head."

"Yes, despite looking like old armor that can be easily destroyed by modern day weapons, you are in for one big surprise." Wiz said, as a small, cross dagger appeared on screen, "And to complete the outfit, is the Dark Dove. A small dagger that has been magically enhanced, to slip through any type of armor, magical or otherwise and kill their target."

"And we were saving his last added weapon for last." Boomstick said, as a certain gold laced spear appeared on screen, "The Old Dog aka the Ancient Warrior aka Balathu spear."

"Isn't that the same spear that nearly killed Jason?" Levi questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Aka, the same spear that nearly skewered Jason Kolchek had it not been for Salim pulling him out of the way, at the very last second." The screen changed, to show the Iraqi soldier eyes widen, before he grabbed the running American soldier and pulled him out of the way, just in time to dodge the spear aimed at him, as Xero grabbed the spear, as the trio ran towards the elevator.

"He kept the spear?" Ymir snorted and laughed at the absurdity of it, "Wow, got to give it to the boss, he certainly gets points for being a hoarder."

"What's wrong with hoarding?" Ursula questioned, as the tall, freckled woman merely laughed, not answering the dragoness.

"Having the Queen of the Shadow Land as his teacher, one can expect that Xero was trained to use a spear." Boomstick said, "But being, well himself, old Reeps wanted to stand on his own two fight, to forge his own legend with his own weapons. Hence, when he spotted this spear that nearly killed his new friend, he nearly took it. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense."

Everyone laughed or chuckled at the subtle joke.

"Yes, well after polishing it up, sharpen it and adding some elemental runes to it to make it more dangerous it was a welcome addition to his arsenal." Wiz said, "And his final weapon is actually a pair of sliver spiked brass knuckles."

"Sliver?" Rhodey questioned, "What, is he going to go hunting a werewolf or something?"

"Which he made by himself, after Gudako got a job at a sump camp and wouldn't you know it, it was not only haunted by the 'Hag Of Hackett's Quarry' but the owners were a cursed werewolf." Boomstick said, as the knuckles appeared on screen, "But that's a story for another time, as these bad boys are good for delivering the point home."

"Summer camp? Really?" Tony questioned, looking at his daughter, "Could you not get anymore clinc?"

"Not my fault Silas thought it would be a good idea to hunt during a full moon."

"Yet, despite all these skills, weapons and abilities, Xero is not invincible." Just like that, his words caused tension to rise within the theater room, "For all his power, Xero is still human."

"Well mostly but you get the point." Boomstick said with a wave.

Gudako sighed, now here came the hard part:

Showing everyone her Oni-chan wasn't just a monster or legend. He can bleed and as she learned long ago, if something bleeds, it can die.


Done and i know, i know i said i would finish the Bio with this chapter but i think i can be forgiven, seeing as i have made the LONGEST chapter in the history of this story.

Enjoy cause i don't think i will ever be able to get another chapter out like this, as a lot of this info can be found on the interent, but no one else knew that i had to pull chunks of the info right from their sites to set this up. Yeah, i would have been done with this one sooner, but that was before i decide to splich the chapter into two finale pieces and i've been playing my two new games:

God Of War Ragnork and The Dark Pictures Anologthy The Devil In Me.

My review for these two is simple:

10/10.

A must buy and must play, it is worth it, trust me!

Okay, moving on, Jacques, Adam and his followers? They're not coming back, they had their chance and wasted it on being stupid. Raven still has a chance, as she had strike one but who knows, that can change, as she and her tribesman will return after this Bio is finished, if only to rub it in her face that she isn't as strong as she thinks.

That she is not the top dog she protrays herself and learns just how far down the rug she is.

Anyway, the next chapter WILL be the final, i promise this time and i have already written over 3,000 words for it, so it won't be long before that chapter comes out. Hopefully before the year is over.

Plus, we got to peer a little into Gudako's own past and power. Yes, she has indeed faced off against Batman's rogue gallary, which is how Xero has Scarecrow's fear gauntlet but that's not all she has done. Want to know more?

Keep reading and find out!

So, happy holdiays everyone!

Devil out!
