[Earth, Cowboy Bebop Universe]
The air was crisp with the scents of cooked delights being served. Most of the resistance were simply sitting around in small groups with the Bebop crew having begrudgingly stuck around on Pibby's request. She was a jaded one, but she could give the puppy eyes. Moreso, after Lapis healed her damaged eye.
"I never had the chance to ask…." Jase said cracking his knuckles. "But where the hell is Yuki?"
"He will join us soon." Noire said cryptically.
"Aw, don't give me that cryptic crap!" Jase whined.
"You think Yuki's all right, wherever he is?" Ivory asked.
"He's a survivor." Lapis affirmed.
"Sister. I think that rock creature has been staring at us for the last few moments?" Lazuli said pointing to the Gem.
Lapis turned her attention on her, and they locked eyes. It was haunting as both looked rather similar. Kelly was chatting it up with others trying to get a feel for the different species around.
"Holy shit, it works!" Kelly said. "I really can turn into anything!"
Kelly transformed into an Equestrian pony to the horror of said ponies.
"That's not impressive." Salem remarked.
"Ah, but watch this!" Kelly said as her body mutated.
Drawing on the draconic energy, she was now an alicorn. A draconic one who proceeded to burn Salem's face with a stream of green fire.
"….My body is ready!" Spike (the Dragon) said drooling as an annoyed Salem was already healing from the injury.
"So, I can confirm I can turn into creatures from other universes. Maybe I should try the aliens." Kelly said as Ben and Albedo went pale. "Yuki would be all over this."
"Ok, I've heard that name several times on this trip and yet he's not here." Lynn Jr. said before belching. "What's this Yuki guy special?"

"He embodies what a Silver Eyed Warrior is to be…" Noire remarked. "One who is feared for his force of will. A protector of life but a server of death with a vengeance to those threatening the balance. Tempering avarice with compassion and love while being a bringer of hope."
Ruby and Summer noticed the look of seriousness on his face when he said that.
"The pledge lost to time because of the Brother Douches." He snarled. "All that remains of the Silver Eyed Warriors is scattered to the winds. All because of one person's paranoia."

"He's planning something." Cael thought as Noire left to be alone.
Sayah went after him, and Cael would have if not Gen stopping him with a grip on him shoulder.
"Don't even think about it." Gen said before leaving to seek out Cinder.
"Come on, leave it alone." Ayla said coming up to Cael.
"I can't. He's using Yuki for something, and I intend to find out what that is." Cael said firmly.
"You'll find out in time." Lunatin said gesturing to Chronoa. "But you're going after the wrong person. She may hold the answers."
"But will she talk is the question? Does she even know?" Ayla asked as Sulfur just walked over to ask her. "Sulfur, what are you doing?!"
He asked her and walked on over.
"She knows he's up to something but doesn't know exactly what it is." Sulfur remarked. "All she got was the 'relic' he's using was from her original world."
Cael considered attempted to get his hands on it but shook the idea off. Considering Griseo, that was the bigger issue.
"Who wants a cocktail?" Shampoo said excitedly. "A Remnant Amazon specialty, Jade Cocktails."
"I want one!" Sulfur said eagerly going over.
Lori snatched one, the realization she's going to a war got her willing to drink. Even with their awakening powers, the eldest Loud sibling was still rather concerned over the whole thing compared to her other siblings. Blade was already on a second one seeing it as liquid courage…as were Marinette and Adrien. She and Adrien were talking, which was good. It was awkward to get it all out in the air, but the two swallowed their nervousness to talk to each other. Of course, Adrien wanted to drink in part to spite his father, and so did Shinji. The two guys got along with the commonality of their fathers being bastards. Misato eagerly wanted to get liquored up herself. The Saints were always down for a drink.
"I've been meaning to ask…what drove a bunch of gangbangers to join to save the multiverse?" Ruby said sipping her drink.
The Boss of the Saints took off his hat.
"Originally, I wanted to say no, but Noire give us something more valuable than money or power." He said simply. "And the fact that I get to put the assholes who hurt them in dirt again."
"Some army we were?" Amy snarked sipping her cocktail.
Sonic just shoved another chili dog down his gullet. He just wanted to have a lazy day at home, but Eggman decided to be a sore loser and team up with the proverbial devil.

[Silver Spire]
Another pair of twin guardians, one of compassion and one of love. Yuki supposed that the two go hand in hand.
"You're worthy." The compassion guardian said easily. "And to answer a potential question, I'm an empath."
"Figures." Yuki said turning to the love guardian. "And you?"
"I'm debating it. You aren't heartless, but you've plenty of unanswered hearts." The love guardian remarked.
"Aren't you supposed to judge all forms of love being….familial, platonic, and the love for my students?" Yuki asked.
"I'm doing that, but romantic love and passion is important. You just shrug at that…look at what happened between you and Lapis. You let her be scooped by another." The love guardian said. "What have you to say?"
"That it was better that way. That what me and Lapis had was exactly the healthiest of bonds. I wouldn't change what we had for the world, but a romantic relationship was just not going to work out. Too glued to the hip, and I ultimately want her happiness. For all of Jaune's flaws, he had a big heart. And in a way, I saved both of them…along with Pyrrha who was unhealthily pining for him." Yuki mused. "Yes, I got plenty of options, but I can't go after them yet, not with the task in front of me."
"I feel your pain." The compassion guardian said. "You fear the potential loss."
The love guardian silently opened her side of the way making a complete staircase.
"I can also understand. Looking further, for your issues, you clearly are mature enough to understand when you feel you are ready for that step. Go on…the final test awaits. Your mental fortitude was tested, but a strong mind will need a strong body." The love guardian said. "Go on and rest before the final trial. The room will provide the means for you unwind and the gate to the final test will be here."

The guardians had bid him farewell before vanishing and it was quiet trek up. Blissfully unaware of the place special properties…it's increased gravity. With his weighted gear, he had not fully noticed. He would when the rest room had normal gravity.
"Serena…how heavy was the gravity back there?" He asked.
"About 20 times Remnant's normal gravity." Serena remarked. "I never bothered to mentioned it because of no clear adverse effects to you."
"Serena, I still had on my weights. Shit, how much did they even adjust to?" Yuki said.
"Calculating. I have a rough estimate you and your team should about triple your weights. Kelly should be a little over where your original limit, Lapis should be at about 3 million, Ivory would be 10.5 million, and you should be 6 million. However, it sends your time here has drastically upped you to about 12 million. 6,000 tons." Serena remarked.
He took a lot at them seeing that the weighted bands hit a limit of their own.
"Looks like they cap at that." He remarked walking up to the bed to sit on. "Ivory would have laughed about this…I hope my team and the others are doing all rest."
He'd soon take a snooze on the bed.

As Yuki rested, so did the growing army across worlds. For they slept with hearts heavy of hope on their continued survival.
(A/N: It's time for some explanations. But why Saints Row, of all things? It being a part of this multiverse is a bit of a mirroring to another. For those wondering, the Saints in-story are fresh off after the events of SR2. Most people don't seem to like SR3 onwards, so I won't acknowledge those events. As for those wondering how they convinced them to help. Simple, Noire did the same thing he did for the 2k12 Turtles. Lin, Carlos, and Aisha are back…as Voyden mutants…but back! Even Jiraya are getting on that train. But let's get serious, we're heading to the final test! One of rage and will, let's get it going on!)
[Side Note: They did not visit all of the universes within the 'Omniversial Ring' they are all in. I couldn't obviously include that many into the army.]
