HeliX Sol: As that was a review for Chapter 2 I am assuming you only read that far. Well, read on.
Shadowolf: I hope you all enjoy this!
Guest chapter 24 . Nov 19, 2017: No, that is not a good idea.
Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:
Korin Dragoon: It's called 'Halli potter Idol', it's already released and if you have favourited and followed me, it should have already notified you.
Guest of November 19th 2017: That wouldn't really work for us. It might be a bit too much...'Marvel Battleworld' if that makes sense.
Shadowolf: Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate. But yes, here is the next chapter of Krystal's Harem.

Krystal's Harem
Chapter 22: Family Reunion, GO!
"What?" Everyone gasped as they looked at Ben, but also exited
"Like I said...I found James." Ben smiled as he exited the portal and revealed a number of other figures behind him, but due to the portal's interdimensional 'ripples' it was hard to make them out.
Soon James emerged from the portal, dressed differently than they remembered. He was wearing a dark blue shirt with black trousers and wearing a black and navy blue jacket. "Hey everyone." He smiled weakly, just overwhelmed by seeing his family again. He was crying happily and within seconds the family group hugged him, tightly holding him in hope that this wasn't just a collective dream. But... No. No it wasn't. This was real.
heir son had come home... And then other figures emerged from the portal
The first figure was an orange-skinned woman with red hair, green eyes and purple clothes. She had a kind smile and D-Cup breasts.
Next to her was what looked like an older version of the red head with DD breasts, black hair and purple eyes.
Following her was a pink-haired woman with chalky skin and pink eyes and C-Cup breasts; she was dressed in a dark blue/purple robe with arcane like symbols on her purple leggings
Next was a dark skinned woman wearing black and yellow cloths, very similar to a bee's in colour scheme and design. She had C-cup breasts and brown hair.
And lastly was a blonde-haired and blue-eyed girl with C-Cup breasts, wearing black clothes and silver accents and boots.
"Who are they?" Krystal frowned lightly and in confusion, the kids to exited to see their big brother again to notice the strangers
"Oh, yeah...Everyone. These are: Jinx, Karen, Tara as well as the sisters Koritnis'n and Komtnis'n, formally Koriand'r and Komand'r. They...they're my girlfriends." James introduced them in order that they came through the portal. "Girls, this is my family."
"Hello mother-in-law's, I am Queen Koritnis'n. Or Kori Tennyson, if you prefer. James' first wife and princess of Tameran." The red haired girl bowed with a super happy smile, showing she was a woman who loved life beyond amazement
"Hello mother-in-law's." The black haired older version of the red haired girl greeted, waving lightly "I am Kori's older sister. Princess Komtnis'n, or Kom Tennyson. James' second, and currently last, wife and the heir to the throne of Tameran."
"Hi, I'm Jinx. Magic user, luck manipulator and James' girlfriend." Jinx waved
"I am Karen Beecher, Bumblebee." The black girl smiled "I am very smart, I have shrinking powers, I can fly and I can shoot electric bolts from my hands."
"I...I'm Tara Markov, Geokinetic and...exiled princess." Tara answered, whilst blushing.
"... James has a harem?" Gwen blinked
"Ah-ha-ha-ha...Yeah..." James blushed, rubbing the back of his head with a sweat drop. "I guess I got it from dad."
"You're MARRIED?!" Isis gasped, most of the mother's feeling a bit disappointed
"Yes...Yes I am." James nodded, holding Kori and Kom's hands.
The family saw strange bracelets around the two sisters wrists, looking like large weekend rings "Well. Introductions are an order then." Fifi nodded as she held her son
"This'll take a little while." Gwen chuckled lightly
"James has told us all about you." Kom smiled
"But introductions WOULD be nice." Jinx half joked "It is real cool to meet you all."
"Hi, I'm Krystal. I'm James's little sister." Krystal smiled as she walked towards the girls, although she looked at them suspiciously
"I am Isis Tennyson, Queen of the Thep Khafin's." Ben's first lover smiled "And this is my son, the crowned prince Atem."
"It is nice to meet you." Atem bowed politely
"Aw, isn't he a little gentleman." Bumblebee chuckled making Atem blush
"I'm Luna Tennyson." Luna said, growling at the shrinking heroine as she stood protectively near Atem
"And I am her mother, Selene Tennyson. I am the Alpha of all Loboan's. Although most would call me their Queen." Selene smiled
"It is an honour to meet you both." Kori smiled
"I'm Gwen Tennyson, Ben's wife, and this is my daughter Kitty." Gwen introduced herself
"Hi!" The nearly three year old waved happily
"She! Is! Adorable!" Jinx grinned happily at the child making her laugh
"I am Helen Tennyson, a high ranking Plumber." Helen nodded "And this is my daughter..."
"Hi,ImML-E! Itisrealnicetomeetyou! Wow,youareallREALLYpretty! IcanseewhyJameslikesyou!" ML-E said at super speed as she ran around and looked over the new girls, shaking their hands "Ohwow! YouALLlookSOOcool! Likerealawesome! Whyareyoutwoorange,areyoualiens? Whatpowersdoyouhave? Wow,you'reREALLYskinny! Wantasandwitch?"
"ML-E! Calm down!" Helen sighed
"She reminded me of Gar." Terra giggled
"I am the Queen of the Tetramand people!" Looma smiled as she walked towards them "I am Looma Tennyson!"
"Gah!" Her daughter gave a small battle cry from her mother's arms, which made her seem even cuter
"And this little cute ball of destruction is my daughter, Princess Skarlet." Looma continued before she looked at Kori and Kom "I can see the warrior blood in all of you girls, but especially you Tameran's. I see my son has found good brides."
"Thank you." Both sisters smiled
"I am the night and awesome Queen Attea Tennyson of the glorious Incarsean empire!" Attea called with a grin "The most bada... Bad guy kicking queen in the galaxy!" She said, censoring herself around the children
"And I'm Scout, and I'm gonna be as awesome as my mum!" Scout grinned, pulling guns out of... Somewhere
"They remind me of Duela, a bit." Kom chuckled as Gwen fought with Scout, taking his guns from him
"I am Hope 'Charmcaster' Tennyson and alongside my wife Gwen, we are the headmistresses of a magic school." Hope smiled "And this is my son, Alex." Alex just waved and smiled
"Rachel would have loved meeting you." Terra smiled
"Who?" Krystal asked
"Another member of James' Harem, the last member. She couldn't come because of... Reasons." Ben answered, not saying the full story as that was James' place and not his
"Oh." She mumbled
"I am EightEight Tennyson. And yes, I know that is the number 8 twice in a row. My family is like that." The armoured alien sighed "My species is also forced to wear this sort of armour as to not gain diseases from other planets because of long them exposure."
"Sick isn't nice." Her son, who was in her arms currently, mumbled
"And this is my son Ren." TwoTwo smiled
"He seems so sweet." Bumblebee smiled
"And I am Fifi Tennyson, my champions maid, lover and wife." Fifi smiled as she finished the introductions "And this is my daughter, Betty."
"... You're pretty." Betty smiled at the girls
"Thank you, so are you." Kori smiled
"Maid huh? Sounds fun and kinky." Jinx giggled to Kom and Bumblebee who had to hold back their perverted giggles as they lightly pushed the pink haired girl
"So with introductions out of the way..." James spoke turning around. "Come here!" James hugged his sister and laughed.
Krystal teared up and hugged James as hard as she could, crying "I missed you." She whispered
"I know." James responded, hugging back. He was crying lightly, holding his sister close "I know." James girls smiled sadly at the sight. They were happy to see brother and sister reunited and the sadness came from them feeling guilty about him not getting here sooner "So..." James sniffed and wiped his tears away. "What's been happening since I've been gone?"
*time skip*
"That... Bastard." James growled as he, his lovers and his parents were sitting together. Krystal was keeping the younger ones busy while her parents told James about the Khyber incident "I... I should have been there." He whispered, clenching his fists in anger
"It's not your fault, James." Ben answered, comforting him
"YES IT IS!" James snapped "She is MY little sister! I should have been there and saved her! Or stopped her from being taken at all! She was emotionally unstable because I was gone in the first place!"
"James, that's enough!" Ben glared/snapped. James blinked in shock at that, his dad almost never getting angry like that with his family "Bad things happen, son. You can't dwell on the past on things that have happened, thinking 'I could have done something' or 'Should have done something'." Ben answered
"... You're right." He sighed
"Alright...Good." Ben sighed. "And...By the looks of it...You've grown. Gaining new skills and aliens; I bet?"
"Yea." James smiled "Nearly four years has gone by since I left in my time."
"Four years?!" Looma gasped
"Yeah..." James rubbed the back of his head. "Four years."
"Nearly." Jinx reminded "Like... Three and three quarters."
"I rounded it up." James chuckled lightly
"You goof." Jinx giggled, kissing his cheek lightly
"Wow, that's a huge step forward. James would've flinched when a girl went to kiss him." Looma whispered to Attea
"We have been helping him with it since we each started dating him." Kom informed Looma, having heard her "All in our... Own ways of course. Plus Kori and myself are married to him now, so he has 'put us through our paces' already." She explained. James blushed lightly at that and smiled...Though he felt a little ashamed
"What's wrong?" Hope frowned as she noticed the look in James' eye
"Just...It...It's a bit embarrassing." James answered
"That you slept with your wives? That's normal James." Fifi smiled. James shrugged a little and looked embarrassed again "Would anyone like something to eat? It has to be lunch by now." Fifi asked and then they all heard the almost horrifying noises that came from the twin sisters stomachs
"...I think that's a HUGE 'yes'." Hope commented. Both girls blushed lightly and smiled shyly at that
"Mind if I help?" James asked
"Not at all." Fifi answered "It would be great to have you help again." She nodded
"... Is that a new guitar James?" Helen blinked, noticing it finally which made everyone keeps notice to. Well, all but Ben
"Huh? Oh, yeah. It is." He nodded. He looked both sad and happy as he gently ran his hand over the guitar "I...The last one was destroyed." He answered. "But...Kori and Kom got me a new one."
"Destroyed?" The others gasped
"Yeah, it...it was a couple of years ago." James answered "But it saved them." He whispered with a smile "Well, let's go Mama Fifi." He smiled, going to the kitchen
"Alright then." Fifi answered
"Um...Mind...if we...have a look around?" Jinx asked kindly
"Sure." Ben smiled and nodded. The girls smiled and headed upstairs to look around the Tennyson home "... I'm proud of him." Ben smiled, his wives looking at him. They knew he wasn't talking about James having a harem because they knew he'd be proud no matter WHAT his son did with his love life
"Being a hero in an alternate universe? Yeah, we're proud of him too." Gwen nodded
"Being a member of a TEAM of heroes in another universe." Ben corrected, the mothers not knowing what happened to James fully
"He's really come in leaps and bounds, hasn't he?" Helen answered kindly
"Yes." They smiled
*With Krystal*
Krystal was keeping an eye on her siblings while they were talking among themselves about how James looks older and how his girlfriend's/wives look amazing "Those girls are real pretty." ML-E smiled happily
"I wonder if he made any new songs." Scout smiled
"It's James. I bet he has." Luna answered
"Yea." Atem smiled
That was when one of James girl friends, Terra, walked in "Hey there." Terra waved seeing them.
"Hello." Krystal nodded
"I err...I just wanted to see you and your siblings." Terra smiled
"Okay." Krystal nodded, the kids grinning at her
"It's finally nice to put a face to a name. James has told us a lot about you." Terra answered
"That's good." Krystal nodded
"I just thought I'd get to know you." Terra added. "You know, first hand."
"Sure; what would you like to know?" Krystal asked
"Hi!" Luna smiled, the other siblings wanting to join in
"Hi everyone. So, why don't you tell me what you like?" Terra asked kindly
"... Not really." She shrugged lightly "I don't have a hobby like James' guitar. I guess I just like training and being with my girlfriend's."
"I play great video games!" ML-E grinned
"She's a speed runner." Scout pointed to ML-E, giving her praise.
"Speed running is boring. I'm just fast." She huffed
"True. Sorry." Scout apologised "I'm Scout...I...Well...I like Incursian weaponry."
"He can turn anything into a weapon." Atem smiled proudly
"I...Well...Not...Not EVERYTHING." Scout admitted which made his siblings laugh
"Atem's the smartest here." Luna spoke. "He's going up two years, since he's a genius."
"I'm not that smart." He blushed
"You and Luna are the smartest ones currently. Kitty might be as smart as you." ML-E answered
"I'm not smart." Luna flinched and looked down, thinking of her disabilities
"I bet you are." Terra smiled, reassuring her.
"No I'm not." She shook her head
"I bet you're good at something though; right?" Terra asked
"... I like writing." She smiled lightly
"You do?" The others asked and smiled, except for Terra who remained in a small shock
"Yea." She nodded, blushing a bit
"Wow, that's great sis." Scout praised her and Luna blushed brighter
Skarlet looked up at Terra and pointed at her. "Pwincess." She spoke innocently
"Yes I am." She smiled lightly
"Pwetty Pwincess." Skarlet smiled
"That's more Kori's thing than mine." Terra giggled
"I think Skarlet will do that for each of you." Atem chuckled, rubbing her head.
*Upstairs*
Jinx was humming, looking through the rooms upstairs... AKA the 5th floor "So many rooms...AND floors." She thought to herself "It's amazing. I wonder whose rooms are these..." She wondered as she reached a random door. She gasped, knowing James enough to know this was his "Oh...my..." She whispered, seeing his room was so well kept. His empty guitar stand, his desk, wardrobe and bed. She smiled, walking around the room. On his desk was a picture with all of his family: his mothers, his father and all of his siblings. Unfortunately none of them but that made sense, he had not met them until he came to their worlds. Hopefully that would change soon
"It's really nice in here." She commented gently, respectfully walking out of his room and closed the door. She smiled, sitting down on the bed "Hmm...Soft bed." Jinx smiled. She laughed, bouncing up and down lightly. She fell backwards and bounced on the springy bed. "Hmm...REALLY soft." She giggled "Oh this will be so fun!" She giggled
*With the former And'r Sisters*
"This place is amazing!" Kori smiled
"I know sister. It's very lovely." Kom nodded
"I love James family." Kori added "They seem very nice."
"From what he told us, they're wonderful." Kom added
"I wonder what's in here?" Kori pondered as she looked to one of the doors. They saw what the guessed was Krystal's room "Wow...it's cute." Kori gasped in awe.
"I wouldn't call it that." Kom noted, seeing several sets of underwear sticking out of the draws. Somewhere rather skimpy and somewhere clearly NOT Krystal's size
"Perhaps this is her hobby or something?" Kori asked innocently as she looked at one of the panties
"Maybe." Kom said in disbelief
"Maybe we should leave. It might be inappropriate for us to be here at this time." Kori suggested
"I guess." Kom nodded
*elsewhere*
Outside the house, Karen AKA Bumblebee was petting the dog. Zed smiled at her, panting happily as she was petted
"You're a good alien pup aren't you?" Karen smiled. The alien dog nodded, barking in reply
"Hey there." Attea spoke as she walked out to see her step-son's girlfriend.
"Hello." Karen smiled
"Seems that Zed's taken a shine to you." Attea spoke
"Yeah, he's a good dog." Karen answered
"Aroo?" Zed frowned
"Um...Zed's a girl." Attea corrected
"... Sorry." She blushed
"It's alright. Her species IS a bit ambiguous." Attea answered
"Hm." Zed nodded
"She's really smart." Karen spoke as she threw a frisbee and saw her catch it
"Krystal and her are great friends." Attea nodded "The little ones love her."
"Grr." Zed growled playfully as Karen threw it a bit further and saw her catch it again.
"I bet they do." Karen smiled
"Why don't you have a look around inside? Get to know the place." Attea asked
"Yeah, I could. But I'd respect their privacy. Good girl, Zed." Karen answered
Zed barked proudly as it dropped the disk, smiling
"Lunch is ready!" James called through
"Hmm." Attea smiled and hummed. "It's good to hear his voice again." Karen smiled, the two walking inside
*Time Skip*
The family where in the kitchen, eating happily "Hmm...This...This is great." Gwen hummed as she bit into a sandwich
"Delicious!" Jinx smiled... Starfire was sitting there, pouring mustard into her mouth
"..." That was the family's combined confused look. Except for those who KNEW Kori.
"There is something about human 'mustard' that is VERY delicious to us Tameran's." Kom explained "Kori does not hold back."
Kori hiccupped lightly and licked her lips. "Excuse me." She politely spoke... And then Luna and Skarlet tried to do the same with the ketchup while Betty giggled and the mother's had to stop them
James just chuckled seeing his siblings copy his wife "It's okay Kori." He smiled, holding his hand gently
"Excuse me?" Atem asked his big brother's girlfriends and wives
"Yes, what is it Atem?" Jinx asked
"Can you tell us about your world, friends and yourselves?" he asked politely
"Oh, sure. Though it'll take a while." Jinx answered. The Tennyson family all got interested at that
Time passed as James and his lovers explained their world, and by the time they finished explaining, James was helping wash up "... Wow." EightEight whispered
"Yeah...I guess compared to your world, it's a bit less impressive." Kom chuckled lightly
"Not really." Ben grinned
"And James has your DNA in his matrix?" Luna asked
"Yes." Kori nodded
"Can't wait to see that. You'd probably look awesome." Scout added
James smiled, deciding to show his new forms off "Okay, this one is called 'SoulFire'." James spoke selecting his Tamaranean form. When the light died down it revealed his new aliens form. James was now the same orange tan skinned humanoid with yellow eyes and sclera. His armour was similar to Starfire's except that he bore markings that looked like plate armour made of cloth. His body was physically toned and strong with body markings, that looked like war-paint. His short hair was not unlike Starfire's in colour but had a streak of blue. He looked like his human form as well just a bit more muscular and such
"He is also called Jarsand'r, but that is basically the Tameranian transition of his human English name." Blackfire informed
"Whoa..." the kids looked in awe.
"Heh-heh. Yep." James chuckled. "Okay, next one."
"Next one?" Attea asked
James selected his next alien and pressed the watch transforming into a light red skinned demon looking alien. James's entire body was covered in a dark blue cloak, his yellow eyes shone through the shadow that was over his face, his matrix was located on his chest in the form of a cloak clasp. Under his cloak was a long sleeved shirt with his two middle and ring fingers having a glove-like appearance. His shirt was a dark black with muted yellow symbols his trousers were a deep dark green with black shoes. He looked down at himself in amazement, pulling his hood back revealing his face. His face was almost like his own but on his forehead was the hourglass symbol in a gem form, and his eyes had two noticeable face markings starting at the outer edge of his eyes down to his chin giving the impression that he was gaunt looking. His skin was also a light red-ish colour, like a sunburnt Tetramand. His pupils where yellow and there were two small bumps on his forehead, like developing horns
"Whoa..." The kids blinked in awe seeing their brother's new alien
"That... that looks like the thing that took you!" Helen gasped
"Yeah...I-I guess it does." James nodded sadly "... That thing was Rachel's father." He sighed "I call this form Warlock."
"Um...Y-Your girlfriend's father...is a red skinned, horned monster?" Scout gulped
"A half-demon, yes." He nodded
"...Not gonna judge." Attea spoke. That made James nod
"Is that weird for you and Rachel?" Luna asked innocently
"Not at all." He smiled, laughing gently
"Well... I should probably pack." James said, standing up
"Pack? But...But you only just came home." Atem frowned
"My friends... My team need me." James sighed at his brother "It... It's nearly time for us to come together again."
The siblings frowned and looked at him...They hugged him. "We'll miss you." They cried
"Hey hey hey, I'll come and visit." James smiled "I can now. I just won't be living here. Hey, next time I'll bring some more of my friends. Okay?" He smiled
"O-Okay." Atem sniffed and wiped his eyes
He nodded, no one noticing that Krystal was gone
*With Krystal*
Krystal was in her room, crying as yelling as she punched her pillow "Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!" She cried
"Knew you'd be in here." James said as he emerged from her floor in his Nechrofriggeon form
"Huh?" She turned around, tears streaming down her eyes...and then she fell into her pillow
"Come here." James sighed, walking over and hugging her
'L-Let me go...let me...Please...Don't...Don't go...' She thought "Asshole..." She whispered "I just got you back and you're already going away again?"
"Dad knows which universe we're in now...I can come back at any time." James answered.
"Then why don't you stay?" Krystal cried
"Because my friends need me." He sighed "Their world need me."
"But WE need you!" She hugged him
"And I'm just a call away." He smiled
Krystal looked up to her brother and wiped her tears away. "You...You call. Every day." She asked
"Will do." James smiled "Now that I'm home, I can make something my friend designed. And I'll visit when I can."
"Thank you, James." Krystal smiled gently
"Anything for my baby sis." He teased
*Time Skip*
James smiled sadly as he looked around his room, having packed away the stuff he wanted to keep. He sighed gently as he looked at the picture of him and his family, when he was younger and how he had changed. He smiled lightly, taking a deep sigh. He took the picture out of the frame and put it in his bag, as a reminder.
"Hey." A voice said behind him, James looking behind him to see SixSix and SevenSeven at his door
"You weren't gonna run off without saying good bye to us, where you?" SevenSeven grinned
"Or... Your sister?" SixSix added, the two stepping out of the way to show Euince
"Hey James." The previously tied oldest Tennyson child laughed lightly
"Hey sis." James smiled and hugged Eunice. "It's good to see you."
"And I nearly missed you." She said in a joking double meaning
"Yeah, I bet you did." James answered, joining the joke "How're the baby and Shar?"
"They are both fine, Mr Married Man." She teased
James chuckled at that, feeling slightly embarrassed since the sound of 'marriage' and him together in the same sentence was still a little alien to him.
*rim shot*
"I'm glad you're happy." Euince assured
"I am...And...I've been more... 'comfortable' than I was four years ago." James answered
"It's wired to imagine time shifted so much between the world's." She commented
"Time dilation...I...I had some time to read up on my Einstein." James answered
"They guy was smart for a human." She nodded
"Very true." James answered and released his hug.
"What? No love for us?" SixSix smiled
"Alright, alright..." James chuckled, hugging his two uncles "I missed you to." He noted
"Damn straight." SevenSeven chuckled
"Been quiet around here without you, you know." SixSix added
"Yea, Uncles." He smiled
"Well...you better not get cold feet." SevenSeven spoke, breaking the hug
"Yeah." James nodded
"Go show that universe what a Tennyson can do." SixSix added
"Will do." James gave a thumbs up. Downstairs the family were waiting for James to come down "Hey everyone." He smiled, holding back tears. Each of the family responded and smiled sadly, seeing their son/brother go "I'll be back soon. Just watch." James smiled, hugging them
"You better. And you show them what you can do." Ben spoke
"Got it dad." James nodded, hugging his family
"Kick butt, James." Gwen whispered to him
"Will do." He nodded. The group then broke their collective hug and James went over to his girlfriends and wives. Their device synching up with the current and their own dimension "Bye!" James waved, the group walking through the portal
"Bye son/bro." The family waved, the kids crying gently
James cried while he and his lovers waving as they walked through the portal and soon, with the portal closed behind them. James was gone again, but this time...they said 'until we meet again'.
The family smiled sadly, walking into the house
They all held each other close, but no one noticed the 'ripple' that went through the portal
