Chapter 209: Convergence of Injustice in the Maelstrom of Emotions

To the relief of Ben, his group, and his nerves, the Tri-Edge made it back to the Daily Planet without any unwanted surprises. After the Justice Leagued, Captain America, and his loyalist Avengers gave a grim recap of what unfolded.

After Superman, Batman, Captain America and the others reassured everyone Ben could be trusted their allies the eye patch wearing Nick Fury, the red haired ace spy with the title the Black Widow, a black man in a soldier outfit with a helmet, John Diggle AKA the Spartan, and the man with a blank face named the Question all walked in with an old man in a lab coat in between them.

As they got closer Ben was near Beck, and Beck saw Doctor White wince as the man got closer before Beck's creator uttered," Damn it, they really needed to bring him in? We don't have time to waste."

The older man with white hair glanced at White and merely snickered." So, you still have such scorn for me even at the end of the world, Bill?"

"I told you not to call me that anymore!" The younger scientist suddenly yelled out." I don't want any part of the legacy of Dr. Benedict Blackwell! Someone as smart as you should have realized that when I changed my name to William White!"

Ben's group looked at Beck's creator in shock before Megaman looked closely at the older scientist." This is the Blackwell you were talking about? Come to think about it, he does look a lot like Doctor Wily. Well, guess I can understand not wanting to be part of a family that caused cyber terrorism."

"Heh, trust me I know the feeling." Zero snickered bitterly.

Blackwell glanced at Megaman, Zero, and the other robots before he raised an eyebrow." Did you make this many new models already son? No, must have been from one of the other realities. That being said, I can understand you being petty, but you are truly pitiful if you let those lies keep spreading!

I never committed cyber terrorism, that rat Gregory Graham framed me just so he could make a bit more of a profit for his precious Cherry Dynamics!"

Ben gasped before looking around,"Wait, that's true?"

Nick Fury nodded before he walked forward." We were able to find the proof, with all the fighting going on those that are left don't have much time to hide secrets. All it took was getting people to realize there were bigger fish to fry before they let us take him. Speaking of those fish, we could use your help on just how to fry them."

X saw how bitter White looked before he raised an eyebrow."Just a second, if your father did not commit terrorism then why did you shun him?"

White looked at X with raw ambition before spitting out,"Because he mocked my thesis as worthless! But I proved my synthetic heart routine was more than just a pipe dream! It's the theory that will revolutionize all robots, all science, all of mankind! The one good thing being thrown to this merged world is seeing how there is proof that its possible for advanced robots to exist!"

Protoman winced before retorting with a dry," Just don't get to excited doc. Trust me, guys like you in our world who got too impatient to make breakthroughs about robots caused a lot of people to get hurt from their mistakes."

Blackwell snickered before throwing out," Only time will tell if your Mighty No. 9, this Beck, is a blessing or a curse. Hmph…but I suppose you gentlemen escorted me here because you think I can in some way help you make enough time for us to find?"

Batman nodded before he flicked his cape back." That's the gist of it. In our last clash, Beck and the others were able to neutralize the other numbers and bring them back to "Normal". However, among other things, Tony Stark was able to escape with your Trinity. We don't know what he intends to do with it but, as much as I hate to admit it, a man with that level of intellect will surely find a way to pose a problem with it, one way or another."

Captain America glowered yet again before he gritted out," No matter how clever he is, none of them will escape what they got coming to them! Carol, any update on Stark?"

"Er…negative Rogers with all that's going on I did not enough time but I figured nothing would,"

The first Avengers suddenly snapped out a bitter,"Don't assume anything with the likes of Stark, Banner, Pym, and the rest of the traitors! Every second is a moment for them to plot something!

Don't ever come into a meeting without having a report again, even if it's just to say there is nothing to report! They are the number one priority till this war's over, understand!? Their precious genius can't help them if we push them too hard for them to think!?"

Ben saw the tension between the two Avengers before he cleared his throat." I totally agree that striking hard and fast to keep your enemy off guard is great Cap. Still, knowing what your enemy has planned is great to so, we got an idea of what they are up to? You guys said something about these Inhumans, their flying city and all this mist coming out of it, right?"

Superman nodded before he looked at his comrade, Mister Terrific, before the other superhero pressed a button. Moments later a hologram of a flying city appeared. Rodgers walked forward to look at everyone before going on with a stern," Like I told you all before, the Inhumans have been spreading their Terrigen mist across the entire planet so that Black-Bolt can make everyone Inhumans, and from there have absolute obedience over everyone making him the winner.

It's not the ideal plan but it's still the best way to survive this with the least amount of deaths. From the sound of it Stark, the X-Men, and the others seem keen on doing something to sabotage the mist. To be perfectly honest, as the host of the Phoenix Force Jean Grey could possibly destroy the city herself.

But, seems they want to not just destroy Attilan, but reverse the mist somehow. Blackbolt swears his forces have not detected anyone yet, but while I trust him to protect his people, I also trust Stark to find a way to outsmart him, especially if this Trinity can over take robots like you keep saying."

Doctor White nodded before he looked more determined." Trinity was, is programmed with a single prime directive: to grow. To evolve. She was a project to create a robot that could control other robots as well as learn and evolve by assimilating their capabilities.

She will pursue any course that allows her to assimilate more Xels, in perpetuity. I realized later the dangers inherit in such a system."

Captain America saw the zeal in White's eyes and just sneered."Sounds a lot like Ultron and that Braniaic that Superman told me about. Seems scientists all over space and time just can't grasp what's going on till it's too late."

White looked defenses as he crossed his arms." It's not too late yet. In theory, if this Iron Man can truly reprogram her, she could assimilate the systems spreading this mist, and gain control of it.

But since there are few Xel based robots in this flying city I'm not sure how Trinity can really help this Stark."

Blackwell stroked his beard before he looked intently at Beck." That's because you focused so much on your robots that you forgot the other aspects of Xel son! Xel is composed of metal, and if Xel is refined in the right way it can merge with non Xel metals. It's only a theory but they might be trying to use Trinity to merge with the entire flying castle itself. That, would increase Trinity's power immeasurably."

"Well then guess we better stop that theory from becoming reality."Superman said assertively as he looked at the others." Between Brainiac and all the other robots who take things over I have enough of a picture in mind to not see it happen with how much is at stake. Might as well take off for the city now that we know what to look for."

"Indeed." Rogers uttered." Blackbolt may be, more than a little protective of his people at this point of time, but I'll bet he is even less found of having his people hurt then having guests. I'll tell him we are coming over now.

There is no time to waste so get ready to move out as soon as everyone is healed. Every second wasted is a moment for Stark to drag everyone down with his insanity!"

Blackwell looked at some of the reports and data on the Inhuman capital before he winced." I'm afraid their might be even less time than you think. It's not much but, I'm able to detect Xel particles in the area around this floating city. If all of the Number have been accounted for, then unless you gave this Blackbolt some of the lesser robots Trinity might already be inside."

Captain America looked outraged before he snarled out,"NO! You're not going win this time Stark! No matter what, I won't let you get the last laugh! Heal on the way everyone, its go time!"

Beck saw the hero's looking tense before he smiled."Don't worry guys, if I can fix Trinity then we can save everyone! It will work out, I know it will!"

Most of the heroes did not even pay attention to Beck before Batman glanced at the robot carefully." We will do what we can to save Trinity Beck, but remember well, the priority is saving this world. If Trinity is too far gone to be saved, we won't hesitate to do what must be done. We can't afford to devout anything to what cannot be proven to be helpful. "

Ben saw Beck looking dismayed before he patted the young robot on the shoulder. " Don't worry Beck, I promise we will do everything we can to make sure all your friends can survive this. After all its what a hero does right?"

Ben saw Yamamoto giving him a stern look before he sighed. Captain America then cleared his throat before looking around." Let's move people! This could very well be the mission that decides Battle World! Even if you're tired, give it everything you got otherwise their might not be a tomorrow! As soon as everyone is prepped, we are going to pay a visit to Black Bolt!"

The Enji saw everyone mobilize before Doctor White glanced at his father, then looked at Beck intently." Beck, just remember what I told you after all this time. We will show everyone that the powers you and Trinity possess will lead to a better future! Ah, there you are Call. Come, lets calibrate things to make sure there are no glitches in this critical moment."

White saw a blond-haired woman that seemed to be his assistant walk up before he went with Call to talk with Batman. X looked at Beck, before he looked at White again before clearing his throat. "Don't worry Beck, it seems Doctor White is very passionate about making this work so I'm sure it will work out."

Megaman nodded before giving an thumbs up." Trust me my dad, Doctor Light is a lot like your dad, they both are the kind of guys that get the job done!"

Beck sighed before he looked at himself." Thanks guys. To be honest, I just hope we get the chance to pull it off. I know the others are angry Trinity has been causing problems for them with everything else going on. I heard some of the others muttering that they think Doctor White's just insane. Its just...they just don't understand!

Sure, I know I and the numbers are not as impressive as some of the guys here, but even if we are not as strong the Professor is not crazy! His plan to use the Xel to end things without as many people dying can work if we just have a chance to pull it off!"

Ben saw Beck's dismay and patted him on the back."Don't worry Beck, I don't know about the others but I know what you mean. As cool as I may seem now, there was a time when most at best thought I was a nobody.

So many thought I was not of any worth, that for a while I was starting to think I was not worth anything myself. But, I knew I was not a nobody and could prove if I just had a shot. And, while it took quite a lot of luck, I managed to pull it off.

There were more than a few close calls but in the end, I managed to save the universe so, things worked out for most people, most good people at least. I can't promise we can save Trinity Beck, but I and my group will do what we can to give you as many chances to save Trinity as possible."

Beck looked amazed as Megaman and the others nodded, and slowly stuttered out,"You would do that for me? T, thanks guys! I promise, it won't be for nothing!"

Megaman nodded before throwing out a chipper,"Don't worry about it. People thought I was useless at first to, but then I showed everyone my full potential. We got your back, just focus on doing what you have to Beck."

"You got it Megaman, I'll go recharge what I need with Doctor Sanda and be ready! See you guys soon!"

As Beck ran off Kratos, Yamamoto and a few of the others eyed Ben carefully before Kratos uttered," Ben, are you sure that his creator's plan is the best course of action?"

"I can't say for sure it will work Kratos." Ben responded with a shrug," But it's better than just winging it. Besides, I remember how it was to have no one take me seriously, to wish someone would just give me a chance to prove I could be as good as the legends. Ah well, we will take it one step at a time right guys? I'll meet you all at the Tri-Edge. Just going to get one of those tasty looking muffins and use the bath room."

His friends nodded and Ben set out to acquire the items he sought before the next stage. On his way to the bathroom Ben happened to notice Superman talking to a black-haired woman and a still upset Supergirl.

After thinking things over for a few moments Ben cleared his throat before going over to the man of steel and clearing his throat." Superman, sorry to bother you but is Supergirl going to be ok?"

"Thanks for asking," The caped man answered." She is upset, but Kara is a trooper. She will be able to focus enough on the task at hand. Still, this demented excuse of a game has gone on long enough, I'll do whatever it takes to shut it down to prevent any more senseless suffering."

"No arguments here, I'll do what I can to help. Thanks again for trusting me, I promise you won't regret it."

"Heh, don't worry about it Ben. People have been dragged into this Battle world from different planets, and even different periods of time but, I can tell when a person means well. Most of the time at least. I admit I should have seen S, seen that Prime was unstable. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, that he was just dealing with the pain of losing so much. But, it consumed him it seems."

"I understand about misjudging those your close to, sometimes it back fires. Just got to hope you're not wrong all the time I guess?"

Superman chuckled and as Ben smiled, he thought again of his fight with the Chaotic Comedian and the other Dimensional Generals, and how as the Beyonder was destroying all of existence the man in the broken clown mask was just laughing madly.

This caused Ben to wince before he stiffened." Superman, I know we don't have much time but I have a question. You seem like you and the others in this Justice League have been heroes for a while. I'm, just curious, how do you keep it up? I guess what I mean is that, just recently I and my friends and well, everyone in the universe in my time defeated Chaos Zannacross Necron to win the Cosmic War. The universe was at last in a state of peace, at least till we were sucked up into this Beyonder's game.

I guess, I just been figuring out how to guide everyone into a better future. I don't want to force my will on people, but at the same time, I can't let everything we fought for be for nothing. I guess, I been trying to figure out how to guide people to a better tomorrow, to a better world that can be more than a dream but a reality."

Superman crossed his arms and closed his eyes before after a few moments he opened them." Seems like you have placed quite a burden on yourself Ben. I admit, even with all the powers that I and the Justice League have, we still have not created a paradise. From what I heard from Captain America, he, the Avengers and the other heroes on his world are in the same state. Guess, there is just a lot of super villains running around out there.

I know some think we are to lenient with how we treat our villains. I know, there have been times when it seems like a horrible idea to let the likes of the Joker, Lex Luthor, Mongul, Sinestro, and the others live a moment longer at times, I know it's the right thing to do. They taunt us from time to time, and I'd be lying if there have not been times where I wonder if we are naïve, that we do it more for our selves then for the greater good.

But, I believe that we are more than just the people's champions, but their models of how to live right. I could do more to take a direct control of how people live, but at one point me and the others saw versions of ourselves from another reality that called themselves the Justice Lords.

They were like us, but had hardened their hearts and got impatient with humanity, and decided to start taking" Shortcuts" for true justice and directly enforced their will on the people.

They wanted to do the same to our reality to make it better, but we were able to stop them. They where are equals in power and cunning, but we had the help of the people from their world who were tired of being repressed, and we were able to neutralize them.

Guess nothing like a cold look in the mirror of what kind of monster you could become after losing your patience. After that we realized even if it would not be instantly satisfying, it was better to just do what we could to nudge people to a better future, and make sure they did not lose their way.

It's been up and down at times, I was disgruntled when the people refused to see Lex Luther's lies and elect him president. But despite the dark times we bounce back and the Earth is still there."

Ben looked at the Star Sword as he thought of all he had done since defeating Zannacross and then closed his eyes as he remembered the stories the Kai-El he knew told him about, and how the celestial one's life ended." I see, thanks for the words of wisdom. I see what you mean, does seem like anyone that tried to enforce their will on the people gets resented if they are too pushy regardless of their intentions.

I still like to think that it's not true that you either fated to die a hero or live long enough to see yourself as a villain. Despite everything that's happen across history, I like to think there is a way to move the people to chance for the better, despite the odds."

"I'm sure there is Ben, you just got to not lose patience with people and understand them."

"Thanks Superman. Well, better get through this to make sure I have a chance to pull it off eh? Oh right, one more thing? Sorry if this is a dumb question but just wanted to know for sure if Super Boy Prime is really down for good? Just don't know too much about either him or the Speed force and if he comes back, I need to know how to take him down to do better than last time."

Superman's eyes turned heavy as he looked outside."Barry and the other Speedsters will tell you that only one in sync with the Speed-Force can escape it. That being said...Prime has a knack for defying the norms.

He might be even more powerful than me, but he does have weaknesses. Like me he is weak to Kryptonite, even if it's not the same as mine. In theory, his power decreases under red sunlight, but that won't help us much unless the Beyonder randomly changes the sun."

"Thanks, any advice helps." Ben answered as he grasped the sheath of the Star Sword tightly." With any luck, he will stay gone and we won't need it."

"Maybe, and if we are even luckier Stark and the others will come to their senses. I'm still holding on to a shred of hope on that but, it is good to be prepared. Still, Batman would approve of you planning things out. I, oh? Speaking of him he wants to go over a few last-minute things with me. See you guys in Attilan."

Ben and the Man of Steel shake hands, and Superman walked off to prepare to go with the others. As the owner of the Star Sword saw the Justice League talk he looked at his hand again and walked off to the bathroom deep in thought." Superman really is a great man, even if it's an altered version from how history really was, the Justice League earned their reputation. Still, even if they are altered versions, I did talk with the Kal-El a lot the past few years.

He was proud of what he did for his world, but even though his world was mostly peaceful after he ascended to heaven, after his death nothing really changed, and people reverted to normal, enough to that they were influenced by Zannacross. It's the same after what happened when Seiya, Serenity, Siegfried and the others sealed Zannacross, the people praised their saviors, but quickly reverted back to normal after the trauma wore off.

The impact the Cosmic War left on the universe was even bigger than the galactic traumas in the past, but I noticed people are already wishing just for things to go back to "Normal". Is nothing enough for humanity to truly change?

Well, that's why I'm betting on the plan me, Lacus, James, Master Myers, and the angels have put together for true innovation of the human race. It will be a long haul, but as they say, slow and steady wins the race. The data James gathered shows the first phase is working, as long as I stay the course, it just might work.

That means, I can't let the Beyonder, an army of desperate fallen heroes, or anyone else stand in my way! Lacus, I hope you and the others can handle whatever is being thrown at you till I can get back to you, I promise I'll get back to you all soon. Er…first, better get to the bathroom."

Ben looked around and quickly relived himself before heading back to the Tri-Edge. Alter making sure his comrades were alright the Enji and their comrades followed the Justice League to Attilan.

After a half hour of plotting for possible battles to come Ben saw the flying capital of the Inhumans and could not help but look impressed. As he saw the other Super Hero's land he landed the Tri-Edge near Captain America's ship, the Quinjet , and saw an elegant orange haired woman in a regal yellow outfit.

Next to her was a giant Bulldog with a unique fork on his head. As he saw the woman smile Ben looked around." Well, we are off to a good start with theses Inhumans if they are rolling out the red carpet for us. Er…unless that giant dog is here to attack us. I'm just saying, giant dogs tend to do just a few things."

Captain Marvel saw Ben's tension and smirked."The big hero's afraid of dogs? Relax Enji, that's just Lockjaw, the pet of the royalty. He is not just any dog, he is a really powerful teleporter. Crystal, good to see you."

The two-woman hugged before Crystal responded with a merry,"It's a relief to see you in one piece Carol. Sorry we have been so busy, with how unstable things have been Blackbolt is reluctant to lower the shields even for a moment. To be honest, he's not pleased you're here, he is worried you will bring the fighting to us."

Captain America cleared his throat before cutting in with a sharp,"With all due respect Crystal, the fighting might have already come here so we have to make sure Stark's plotting does not go unnoticed. We would send a transmission but we can't risk Stark hacking it. If this goes right, the fighting will soon be over."

Crystal saw how serious the first Avenger looked before she sighed." Well, if it means the fighting will be over quicker than it's for the best. Alright, come with me, Gordon, Karnack, Medusa, and Black-bolt are waiting in the throne room. Oh, so that new ship is with you guys?"

Ben saw Crystal looking at him and waved before Superman grinned."Don't worry, Ben Auro and his group have proved their loyalties, and we will need all the help we can get to come out on top of this."

"Fair enough, but we will see if Black-bolt sees things that way. This way everyone."

Crystal lead everyone to gather around Lockjaw, and as Ben wondered if she was going to summon a transport vehicle before the large dog's fork thing on his head suddenly glowed yellow. Ben suddenly felt a flash of energy, till before he could blink his surroundings changed, and he quickly realized he was in an area that looked a lot like a throne room.

Ben saw Lockjaw just bark before he cleared his throat." Well, guess you're not kidding about the dog being able to teleport. Well, suppose that's indeed a faster way to travel then an elevator."

Before anyone could respond a haughty female voice cut in with a sharp," Our apologies for being abrupt, but the king has no time to waste." Ben looked up and saw various people around the throne. He saw that the one who spoke was an elegant woman in a pink set of armor with long red hair that reached down to her feat, and seemed to be moving.

Along side the red haired woman was a blue skinned woman with a red fin on her head, a green colored woman with furry limbs, a white colored woman with a hoarse head, and someone that looked like a human lobster.

Ben then saw that past the women was a man on a throne. He was clad in a black suit that had steel wings on his armpits. Ben noticed that the man had the same kind of fork on his head that Lockjaw had, and that he had a stern look on his face.

Ben saw how the others in the room seemed to be looking at this man before he cleared his throat."Aw, so your King Black Bolt eh? Thanks for meeting with us your majesty, it's a matter of life or death to say the least."

Ben and his group waiting for a respond but Black Bolt remained silent. After a few moments the red haired woman sighed before she glanced at Captain America." What, you did not tell him the proper procedures for how to talk to the Midnight King?"

Captain Marvel winced before going over to Ben."Guess we were so distracted that we forgot to fill you guys in. Black Bolt can't talk. I mean, he can talk but with his unique power one whisper can break your bones. See, an organic mechanism in his brain's speech center produces an unknown particle that interacts with ambient electrons, enabling him to produce certain mentally-controlled phenomena.

Because his electron-harnessing ability is linked to the speech center of his brain, any attempt to use his vocal cords triggers an uncontrollable disturbance of the particle/electron interaction field. At full power, him screaming with all of his might can shatter a planet. That's why, you don't want him to talk."

Ben winced as he realized just what Black Bolt could do before he looked at the leader of the Inhumans and gave an uneasy chuckle." Oh wow, that's one hell of a mixed power alright. Well, if that's how it is then thanks for not talking then. I guess, your sectary will do the talking then?"

The red-haired woman looked cross before spitting out," Watch it boy, I'm Medusalith Amaquelin Boltagon, but you will do well to refer to me as Queen Medusa!"

"Wait your the queen? But, the other woman over their all have the same,"

"We are all queens of Black Bolt, to show his power as leader of every Inhuman tribe! I am the one that's been his wife the most, that's Oola Udonta of the Centuarns, Aladi Ko Eke Queen of the Badoon,First Chair Onomi Whitemane of the Kymellians, and Queen Avoe of the Dire Wraths! "

"Er... I see. I don't judge I was just."

"Enough of this insolence, with all due respect why are you here?"

"Captain America retorted with a sharp,"We did not trend on your realm casually old friend, but to be frank we are here because of Stark. We have more than a hunch that Stark and the X-Men are here to try and sabotage your city to stop the Terrigen Mist. We are not sure if Stark's gone insane or not, but even if his plan just makes sense in his head, his actions will be all too real."

Ben saw raw anger form in Black Bolt's eyes before Medusa grasped her fist." Iron Man will pay for trying to interfere with the manifest destiny of the Inhuman race!"

Captain Marvel sighed before adding a wary,"They are not going to back down easily. If you were not paying attention, Stark even managed to bring Jean Grey back. With the power of the Phoenix Force he,"

Medusa suddenly cut off the blond woman with a damming,"Of course we saw your squabbles with the other hero's Carol! Even as powerful as the Phoenix might be, the Inhumans will never cower! Maximus and Karnack have designed a plan to neutralize her power.

It's regrettable it must come to this, but the Inhumans will never hesitate to defend our existence even if it's at the cost of another! If it's a fatal mistake for the others to learn how prepared we are, then so be it."

Superman saw Ben's group looking uneasy before he sighed." We are still hoping that we can reach out to them, but we are prepared to do what we must. Still, you must be prepared for anything. Stark stole an advanced robot named Trinity that we think might be used to sabotage your systems."

"Bah…that robot will fare as well as that pompous Ultron! Inhumans are, huh?"

Everyone felt a tremor, before it was followed by an explosion. Ben quickly took out the Star Sword as he looked around." I'm sensing magical energies all over the city that just showed up out of nowhere! Guess we had good timing, because Stark must have started his attack!"

Medusa saw the other Inhuman's looking shocked before crying out," Impossible! For all his genius Iron Man cannot possible have."

She got cut off by another explosion, before the mustached Inhuman Karnack looked at a monitor to his right and looked alarmed. After a few seconds, he seethed out," Your majesty, I don't know how but a forging substance has taken over segments of Attilan, and its spreading quickly!"

Ben saw what the Inhumans were looking at, and saw that they were looking at what looked like a Colosseum, a Colosseum that had more than half of its structure be transformed to oddly shaped green and purple blocks.

Ben saw the blocks were slowly consuming both the Colosseum and the area around it before he grimaced." So, I'm still catching up on things but this is not another one of Iron Man's powers, is it?"

Beck looked alarmed before blurting out,"I don't think that's related to Stark, this is looking like the work of Trinity!"

"Trinity has evolved past her original design, and is assimilating everything around her, not just Xel!"

Doctor White blurted out vie a com link.

Zero grimaced before uttering a bitter,"Funny how things keep doing what they were not expected to do and suddenly everyone gets screwed. Oh wait, that's just a major pain in the ass!"

Black Bolt grit his teeth before Medusa snarled out a livid," They will all pay for trying to turn our home against us! If Stark thinks this will allow him to somehow over power Black Bolt, the great Midnight King, then he is sorely mistaken!"

Ben saw Black Bolt get off his throne before he gulped and stepped forward." I'm sure you guys have the power to get things done. But, before you go on and cause a hell of a lot of property damage, maybe we should give Beck a chance to fix Trinity and save you guys a big bill? I mean, it's what he is built to do."

Superman saw the Inhuman Royalty looking at Beck with dismissal before he grinned." He may not look like it but he has managed to bring back every one of the " Number" robots before, size should not matter."

Beck grinned before adding an eager,"You can count on me to snap Trinity back to her senses! No matter how big the target gets, with all of your help I should be able to get to her core before the entire city is taken over!"

Before anyone could respond a new male voice cut in with an erratic," Foolish primitive robot, you don't understand just how high the stakes are! It's much direr then the likes of you could understand!"

Ben and the others saw a man with short curly black hair in a black outfit topped with a white trench coat run in. Before anyone could even ask who he was the man just laughed as he dashed around typing on monitors." I hate to admit it, but these pests are good! It takes a lot to catch Maximus the Mad off guard, but they are on to us brother! That Stark's new toy would be easy enough to hack apart in due time, but he found our trump card, he is trying to size the Neo-Terrigenisis Bomb to use against us!"

Ben saw Medusa, Black Bolt, Crystal, and all the other Inhuman's look either alarmed or outraged before he saw Rogers, Carol, and the others look shocked and raised an eyebrow."Never heard of a Terrigenisis Bomb before, that some sort of nuke?"

Carol grasped her first tightly before responding with a dire," You remember how people get turned into Inhuman's when they are consumed by Terrigen Mist? This bomb is a more aggressive version of that. However, they were supposed to be none left, but it seems we are in the dark with something eh?"

Medusa had her eye twitch before she had her hair jet out to grasp Maximus by the throat." We were so close Maximus! How could you forget to take your medication at such a critical time?"

The Inhuman scientist merely grinned." Oh right, that. Well, I needed to not be held back in the final stage!"

Yamamoto grasped his staff tightly before muttering a grave," I'm not up to speed on many of the things going on around here, but I know a double cross when I see one!"

Rogers grasped his shield tightly before barking out,"Black Bolt, Medusa, if you have something you want to tell us you better come clean now! The Terrigenisis bomb was what you used to try and kill Cyclop's crazed brother Vulcan during that war with the Shi'ar before you aborted it because it was to extreme right?"

Ben saw that Medusa was looking anxious, and could feel her aura had a deceptive tint to it. Before he could respond suddenly yet another cocky voice cut in with." If it only was as bad as that idea but its even worst! C'mon Steve you may not be on my level you can't be that thick! Face the music buddy, I'm not the only one who played you!"

Like a switch being pulled, Captain America got outraged as Iron Man flew right down from the glass ceiling, as many of the X-Men flew around him, though Jean Grey was not one of them. Rogers jabbed a finger at his former teammate before jabbing out,"Stark, did you decide to own up to what you have done? I can see the guilty looks on all of your faces! Even all of you must know this can only one way now!"

"Wow projecting much Steve? Your right, this can only end one way, and that's with us alive! Despite what you think I honestly came here to try and minimize the damage here, but it all depends on how you guys come clean.

Your call Black Bolt, you going to give up or do I have to force your hand? I mean, did you really think you could just everyone would just sit back as you tried to gas everyone else to death?"

Medusa gave Stark a death glare before her hair started to rise up around her."You lowly human, you really think you can comprehend the desire of the Inhumans?"

"Oh please Medusa, I broke down tech from thousands of years in the future and from civilizations like the Kree and the Skrulls that kept swearing they were far to advance for my understanding, as a self-proclaimed futurist it would be an insult if I could not breakthrough the files of a group that had a slight edge over me.

I was wondering if the X-Men were just anxious about having allergic reactions, but then Forge and Beast gave me some stolen data and I was, curious. Steve did you really think Black Bolt was just going to change everyone to Inhumans and call it a day? Just see for yourself how the Midnight King wants to end the fighting!"

Iron Man used his armor to hack into the throne room's systems, and forced a large hologram appear to show the blue prints of many machines. As he saw most of those around him look baffled he just snickered." Since we are short on time I'll give you this tests answers.

The Inhumans get new "recruits" when people make contact with the Terrigin mist. Now, are mute king here may have told you all that the mist will turn everyone into Inhumans and be bound to him and all that jazz, but he left out that all the mist is just a set up to get everyone be effected by the bomb, everyone in all the planets!

The Bomb's just a delivery system for their Terrigenisis ritual, a machine that would convert sound to light, and map terrigin to nitrogen, triggering a cascading effect across the entire world. They been spreading the mist all over the planet so that everyone would have a bit of Inhuman DNA stuck in their bodies. When the bomb goes off, the bomb will affect everyone and forcefully be transformed. The mutants were the first to react to it, but the same thing will happen to everyone!"

Ben saw Black Bolt look furious before he got angry himself."This some sort of sick joke? In the end your master plan is to unleash a weird chemical bomb that would either kill everyone that's not an Inhuman or make them a slave to Black Bolt?"

"Can't you see they are lying?" Medusa seethed out." They have more than enough skill to make a few fake screens!"

Before Ben could respond an older male voice cut in with a calm," Data can be faked, but the mind speaks true."

Suddenly a bald man in a yellow hover-chair floated into the area next to Cyclops. The man looked at Ben and smiled."To make this quick I'm Charles Xavier, the founder of the X-Men. My power is to read people's minds, and I assure you that Iron Man is telling the truth. At this moment, the thoughts swirling around Black Bolt and Medusa's head are all about wishing the bomb would go off faster."

Superman saw Black Bolt give Xavier a death glare and gave the Inhuman Royalty a harsh look as he flew upward." Is this all the truth Black Bolt? It's one thing to chance a bit of DNA, but killing them, converting them to raw energy, that's genocide!"

Cyclops grimaced before shouting out," It's too little too late for caring now! If you were not hiding from the truth so long things would have not gotten this dire in the first place!"

Medusa glared at the X-Men before hissing out," Damn mutants, you could never just accept that you were not the true evolution of life! But soon all in this Battle World will see who is the most superior of all! If it goes as planned and the shock-wave bounces to the other worlds, we will take everyone out at once!"

Captain America looked out raged as he yelled out," Medusa, Black Bolt, have you gone as insane as your brother? We are friends, we have been comrades for years, and you were just going to stab us all in the back!"

Black Bolt looked solemn, while Medusa just had a manic look on her face."Don't take this personally Captain America, we do respect all you have done for the Inhuman race over the years. It's just that, the stakes are too high now. A King has his imperial honor, but who my husband is, is bound by what he is, and he is an empire! That empire must stand at any cost.

When there are only so many options to take for survival, then the fantasy of idyllic endings must be discarded! Hate us, despise us, but the Inhumans will always do what is best for their race first!"

Ben had his energy explode with enough force to shake the room before he responded with a damming," Well if you're going to play it that way then I'll do whatever it takes to protect my friends, and that means shutting down anything that will risk them getting blown up!"

Captain Marvel glanced at Iron Man before she sighed." So, what's your true end game for all of this Stark? Going to hijack Black Bolt's bomb with your new toy to get the last laugh?"

"Oh, please Carol, I may get wild but I'm not a barbarian. I'll just convert the energy into my biggest gun and fire on it to take out the biggest threat to shut it down. Sure Trinity is being a little more wild then I expected but, I'll tame the horse sooner or later. Then we can pound the Inhuman Royal's for being two faced and call it a day."

Captain America just had his eye twitch before blurting out," Just call it a day? You seriously that foolish Stark? Don't think this changes anything! You killed millions with your bombs, and you plan to kill millions more! And murderers, answer to justice! "

"Damn it Steve did you hit your head after this went down? They are trying to kill us to you know, I'm not doing this for the laughs I'm doing this because it's the only real way to live through this!"

"If it's not a decent way, it's not worth the cost! We are supposed to be hero's Tony, we are supposed to be better! You dishonored Bucky, and all the other friends of mine that lost their lives fighting the good fight! And for their honor, I'll avenge them and take you all of you liars down!"

"Once upon a time, I was your friend to Steve, but it's clear you hit your head because your to obsessed about feeling good over what matters! Your just as deluded as Superman's crazy cousin, but I don't have time for this because I have things to do to survive! Presentation's over, and this is the last time for any of you people to be real hero's and get out of my way before your part of the cleanup job!"

Ben heard another tremor and glanced at the direction where Trinity was before he narrowed his eyes." I came here to save lives, not fight heroes. That's why I'm going to go to where Trinity is and help Beck shut down this madness, and take down anyone who gets in my way!"

Karnack saw Ben's resolve and got into a fighting stance." A bold statement to make in front of the Inhuman Royalty Swordsmen! No matter how great your skills are, I can detect any flaw and take you down!"

"Oh, I guess you're as strong as Superman and your king then?"

"Well…not quite but I'm so flawless at detecting stress points, fracture planes, or weaknesses, that I can, GUH!"

In the blink of an eye Ben flash stepped behind the Inhuman and hit him with the hilt of his sword with enough force to knock Karnack out. Black Bolt saw his comrade fall to the ground and glared at Ben, before the owner of the Star Sword glared back."I don't have time to humor you guys. If you refuse to realize how insane your plan is, then it's going down now!"

Ben jumped up to prepare and land a knock out blown on Black Bolt. But as he went through the motions the fork like object on the Inhuman King's head glowed with light before he screamed out,"NO!"

Ben quickly found out that the power of his target's voice was not a fabrication as the moment he screamed he unleashed a force so deafening, Ben, and everyone around him nearly felt his eardrums burst as a shock-wave blasted many people into the wall.

Ben used all of his energy to stay standing as Black-Bolt kept yelling. Medusa, who along with the rest of the Inhumans had special ear plugs equipped in preparation for Black Bolt yelling in the fighting, laughed as she saw Ben struggle to move forward. "Arrogant boy, whatever your skills you will learn the hard way what it means to cross the Inhumans!"

Medusa had her hair extend as she tried to have it entangle Ben's limbs. However, Ben just grit his teeth as he powered up even more, having his aura blast off Medusa's hair.

As she looked shocked he grinned." I see you can use your hair like Lacus, she does it better though. I don't mean to be a show off but, you're the ones who don't realize yet that you're out of your league! I'll give you that you have one of the loudest shouts I've heard, but I've shut down some loud screaming before! I did it so much, I even refined it, just, like, this!"

Despite being on the verge of losing his hearing, Ben focused at his target, and as Black-Bolt kept screaming he stood his ground, walked a few feet past the shockwave battering him, and unleashed an energy sword wave from the Star Sword.

Ben focused the normally basic energy attack to counter act the vibrations Black Bolt's scream was unleashing, forcing him causing a force that caused the Midnight King to stagger and cut short his yell.

Ben saw his opponent's shock and instantly grasped his fist."It's quiet time, Mute!"

The Enji made a quick hand sign, before he cast a magic spell to have Black Bolt's voice be cut off. As the others looked in shock Ben grinned."I may not still be as much a pro at magic as Lacus, James, or a few others, but I mastered the basics by now! If your trump card is your screaming, then get ready to kiss your plans good bye! Are you guys alright?"

Ben saw some of his comrades endured Black Bolt's scream better than others, as some like Lloyd were just staggering around trying to regain their bearings. Lloyd saw his friend was talking to him and just heard a ringing noise."WHAT? I CAN"T HEAR YOU BEN I CAN" T HEAR ANYTHING!"

Raine regained her composure enough to quickly cast a restorative spell around her group before Ben cleared his throat and saw Black Bolt trying to yell." Anyway, excuse me but I got a genocide to stop!"

Ben prepared to take to the air when he heard an angry yell from above, and saw the Hulk was crashing down from the ceiling. As Ben back stepped to avoid colliding with the green man's descent, the Hulk landed with a shock-wave before he glared at Ben." Sorry boy, you're not going anywhere. Black-Bolt might be screwing my team over but we need his tech intact to pull off our own plan. That's why, anyone that tries to smash that is getting smashed themselves!"

"Hulk, I see you want a round two eh?" Ben said as he got back into a fighting stance."Er…I see you're a lot more, coherent this time. "

"Heh, Stark worked with Professor X to make sure my mind was properly balanced for this to reduce as many weaknesses as possible. If you thought you could out smart me, think again!"

"I see you're not always a savage, but I have too much on the line to back down now!"

The Hulk sneered and prepared to charge when he saw Captain America had thrown his shield at him. As the shield bounced off his face, the impact only stung. But as the shield returned to its owner the First Avenger glared at his former teammate." You're not the only one who can plan for things! Go Auro, we will settle this! Best way to counter a Hulk, is with a Hulk! Now Ross!"

Everyone heard another roar before a man that looked just like the Hulk, only with blood red skin burst out of the wall behind the Hulk and brought his arms down. The green Hulk blocked the red one's strike, and the clash of power was enough to cause the ground around them to cave.

As the Hulk saw his counterpart try and overpower him he sneered." Are you going to be a tool your whole life Ross? Or are you going to wise up before it's too late?"

"A soldier follows orders Banner!" The Red Hulk growled out as his skin turned a brighter shade of red." You, Stark, and the others have gotten way out of line! For Betty's sake, this rouge stunt is going down once and for all!"

"Don't you bring Betty into this, ROSS!"

Ben saw that the two Hulk's were going at each other so intently that when the Inhuman Gorgon tried to stomp on them from above Banner just casually uppercut him out of the castle. Ben saw the Red Hulk was strong enough to keep the Green one's attention on him before he shrugged." Is there, a Hulk for every color of the rainbow? Eh, I'll find out later, this flights been delayed for takeoff enough as it is!"

Ben took to the air again, when he heard something and swerved around to slash in half an incoming energy blast. Ben realized the blast was a Unibeam that Iron Man fired, before the man in white armor had more cannons form out of his armor. "Sorry kid, you seem like a decent guy, but I'm too far along in my plans to have you stop them!"

Iron Man was about to fire when suddenly a green sphere of energy formed around him. Ben and Stark both saw that the sphere came from the Green Lantern, and as Hal flew in front of Ben he smirked." It's not for you to decide Iron Man! As smart as you are, you can't outsmart the power that my power ring has!"

"Want to bet on that Jorden? Because I managed to salvage things that can counter it! Time to go to work boys!"

Iron Man's eyes glowed, before suddenly two new figures flew into the room. They both looked like mostly red robots with grey faces. As soon as the Green Lantern looked at them they both had their eyes glow." Lantern energy signature detected, no man escapes the man hunters!"

The two new arrivals had their faces split open to reveal a glowing trio of energy orbs underneath their face. The orbs glowed before suddenly the Green Lantern's construct wavered, before being absorbed into the robot's skulls. Hal saw Iron Man fly upward before he cringed." Damn it all Stark, you seriously salvaged the Manhunters after we broke the Sinestro Corps?"

"I'm not picky, these scrap piles, that Trinity and the other Number bots, I'll salvage anything if it will help me get to where I need to be, it's kind of my origin story! Lights out lantern!"

The two Manhunters flew at Hal's direction, and Ben saw that they were starting to suck out the energy out of Hal's ring. The Enji winced, before he fired another energy sword wave to try and destroy them, only for the right most Manhunter to turn in his direction and absorb the projectile. Iron Man saw Ben's shock and chuckled." The Iron Fist taught me a few things about how kai tricks work.

In the end they are all energy, customize sensors enough and they can absorb any type as long as they can handle the energy. One way or another, you're going to see I neutralized every asset you have!"

Iron Man prepared to attack before Cap threw his shield at him. As the shield was blasted back Captain America caught it before he yelled out," You still don't get it, you can't copy everything Stark! No matter how smart you are, you can't copy true grit!"

"You keep saying my ego is to big when you spend every moment patting yourself on the back Steve? I'm not going to let this end before you realize that no matter how much grit you have, you're not smart enough to beat me!"

Iron Man prepared to fire all the weapons he could aim at once, till suddenly his sensors detected something and he saw a barrage of bat shaped projectiles heading his way. He quickly fired his energy salvo at them, only to be shocked as his targets merely absorbed the energy, and went on to smash in to him.

Everyone saw the projectiles quickly unleash a magnetic effect as Stark got stuck to the wall behind him. As he yelled in frustration a stern voice uttered," He may not be able to outsmart him, but I can."

Everyone saw Batman suddenly emerge, in a metallic black and grey layer of armor to give an exoskeleton like, heavily armored version look. Batman saw Ironman glare at him before he calmly walked forward."You're not the only one who can be resourceful with time to plan. As advanced as your current tech may be, I've observed you enough times to find its flaws. I may have a strong policy about using firearms to kill, but using them to neutralize is another matter."

Iron Man realized the projectiles Batman fired into his armor were unleashing shock-waves that seemed to be scrambling the parts of his liquid like armor before he narrowed his eyes." Cute Wayne, but that's not enough. You may have been a hot shot on your world, but no one can out smart me!"

Captain America charged at his bound target while yelling out,"Get over yourself Stark, its over!"

"Over? I'm just getting started!"

Stark had a thruster behind the elbows of the armor's arms pop out, unleashing an enhanced punch that was strong enough to knock Rogers back, and also unleash a shock-wave strong enough to blast off Batman's projectiles. Hal suddenly came at him from above before yelling out," So am I jackass! Your, huh?"

Green Lantern saw an energy blast heading his way and had a barrier form around himself. As the blast faded he saw the blast came from Richard Rider, a man in a sleek set of black and golden armor with a golden helmet. Richard glared at Hal before yelling out," He's not the only one who has his pride Green Lantern! Time for you to feel the pride of the Nova Corps!"

"You're still ranting on about that? Damn it I'm sick of wasting time with knock offs!"

"Screw you man to me you're the knock off!"

The man with the title of Human Rocket unleashed a gravimetric beam at the Green Lantern. As Hal countered with a beam of his own and the two got in a beam struggle, Ben saw Batman attack Iron Man, and saw Superman was fighting the hero Quasar, and as he wondered where to go next Captain America looked at him with a look of determination." Enji, leave this to us! You take Beck and as many as you can to shut down the bomb before it goes off! If you're the hero you say you are, then I can rely on you to get the job done."

Superman saw Black Bolt focus his power to unleash energy blasts from his hands, and quickly took the blow to shield Captain America. He saw Ben's worry and just grinned."Don't worry, we can handle things here. "

Ben saw Beck, X, Lloyd, and his other comrades fighting off a long haired Inhuman named Lash before he nodded."Alright, I'll try and get back to help out here as soon as we shut the bomb down. Good luck. Beck, hang on to me! Guys, follow me!"

The leader of the Justice Force grasped Beck's arm and took off to the air and with a burst of speed dashed out of the throne room while summoning Shadow Clones to cover his and his teammates departure. As Ben flew above the city Beck anxiously looked around." I can see your like Superman and the others and can fly without wings, but I hope we can make it to Trinity in time."

"Don't worry Beck, now that I know what I'm looking for I can go a lot faster. Besides, are target is not being real secretive about their movements. Hang on tight."

Beck saw that Ben was looking at the mass of odd looking cubes towering over the rest of the floating city, before he nodded. Ben then had his aura flare up before he flew at the infected part of Attilan, and was fast enough to arrive right in front of his target in moments.

A bit later the rest of his group landed near him, and as Megaman landed he saw the area was slowly being consumed more and more by Trinity by the second before he raised an eyebrow." All right we are here so, now what? I fought a lot of robots, but never any as big and odd as this Trinity."

Ben grimaced before he looked around before adding," Maybe we jumped the gun just a tad. Would be rather bad to destroy something else by mistake and just make this worst."

"I never met Trinity myself, she was locked away before I was created." Beck muttered as he looked around. But I can detect unique Xel energy signatures, and in that mass of Xel I am picking up higher Xel readings then I ever detected in my life!"

"Alright, guess we got to just to tread carefully. Not sure how aware Trinity is, is she going to be aware of us coming for her?"

Zero suddenly saw something before he readied his Z-Buster." Just look up to get your answer man!"

Ben did just that and saw that large green cube shaped drones with red eyes were flying out of the Xel like substance, and swarming around like flies. The group saw that many of the new arrivals looked like they were charging lasers before Ben grimaced." Guess we got another round of fighting to get out of the way before we can get things done."

Everyone felt a tremor before chunks of the ground suddenly started to ripple, and transformed to giant metal tentacles. Yamamoto saw this and narrowed his eyes before he walked forward." We don't have time to waste fighting endless grunts! Just blaze through anything in our way till we reach the core of the target! Jōkaku Enjō!"

The Enji Master swiftly unleashed a storm of blistering flames that were hot enough to repel most of the group's metallic attackers. Ben took a deep breath and dashed into the infected coliseum. Once the group was inside they saw that it nearly looked like they were inside the body of a massive metallic being with purple metallic arteries.

The batch of heroes were quickly attacked by various hostiles, ranging from more of the green cyclops like drones, to some giant mutant hunting Sentinels that were reprogrammed to target not just the X-men but any hostile, to more Manhunter drones, and even the slave class of the Inhumans, the Alpha Primitive race that were artificial clones created to take care of the mundane tasks for the Inhuman Royalty.

Ben and co kept taking out the enemies no matter where they came from, but after not seeming to make any progress ten minutes later, the Enji started to wonder if they were just being led in a loop and if they would have to start blasting things apart they suddenly entered a wide dome like room that was littered with discarded robot bodies. In the center was a giant red sphere, that was attached to a giant obelisk like machine.

Ben noticed the top of the machine had the same kind of fork that Black Bolt and Lockjaw had before he grasped the Star Sword tightly."Is that, the machine the Inhumans are going to use to try and turn everyone to their kind? Not sure how that's linked to Trinity."

Axl heard something and loaded his pistols." Well based on how these things go let's just hang around for a few seconds to see if anyone or anything tries to attack us. Huh? Damn, right on cue!"

Everyone saw the entire room suddenly glow red before around the red core segments of the room poured into the core, before it transformed into a purple sphere with glowing red eyes and a monstrous mouth.

As the creature unleashed a synthetic roar Beck looked on in shock." Trinity, is that you? If you can hear me, you have to snap out of it!"

The spherical creature narrowed its eyes, before suddenly the entire room started to shake. Lloyd saw this and winced." Sorry buddy, one way or another that thing looks like it's not in the mood to listen! Watch out!"

Everyone braced themselves as Trinity roared, and dozens of purple tentacles burst out of the room to try and consume everyone. Ben and the others quickly slashed through the attacks, and as Trinity realized its attack failed Ben glared at his attacker." If you can understand us, for your sake you better understand you can't win!"

Trinity roared again, before the tendrils suddenly poured into her. More and more Xel merged with her, till after a few moments she merged with the bomb as well, becoming a giant flower like pillar. As Trinity roared Megaman winced and aimed his mega buster at the new form of his target." If this thing wants to eat us we better shut it down fast! "

"Maybe bro, but we can't be to careless about it or the bomb might go off!" Protoman added tensely."

Beck eyed Trinity carefully, before Doctor White, vie the systems inside Beck's head blurted out," I'm picking up a significant shift in Trinity's readings. She appears to be…distressed? Fascinating, just as Beck absorbed aspects of the other Mighty Numbers when he fought them, she learned from Beck from her drones.

She's struggling with what she done, with what she will do next, with how to control her power, with what Stark instructed her to do. It's not too late Trinity, open your mind, show everyone that the Numbers can evolve!"

Ben saw more energy was gathering around Trinity before he shrugged." You must be really smart if you can tell all of that just from a few readings Doc. Well, all I know is that its reacting alright, but if it reacts by having the bomb go off prematurely things are going to go to the hell real quick! X, Zero, you and the others use your best lighting moves at once and hopefully we can freeze things up a bit to shut her down!"

Zero grinned before retorting with a wild,"Gladly! RAIKOUSEN!"

Zero had lighting crackle around his Z-Saber before he charged at Trinity. As he did, Megaman unleashed his Elec-Burst attack, Protoman fired off a Thunder Wool projectile, Axl opened fire with his Plasma Guns, and X unleashed a fully charged Electric Spark attack. To top it off Beck fired off some of his own Electric Seed projectiles while Genis also cast the Thunder Blade spell.

The combined lighting projectiles unleashed enough voltage to paralyze everything that Trinity had taken over. As the robotic monstrously roared in pain, it still managed to move enough to look at Ben, and suddenly unleash a massive red energy blast.

Ben saw the sudden attack and dug his feet down and slashed at the attack, he felt himself pushed back a few feet, before he glanced at Beck." I got it handled here Beck! Go on and fix Trinity! Trust in yourself, in your power, and with any luck, at last this insanity will be over!"

Beck nodded, and was about to charge at Trinity when all of a sudden everyone heard a woman giggle. Suddenly a second woman coldly uttered,"So sorry hero, but what you call madness, is just getting started."

Suddenly a beam of red energy burst down from the ceiling to surround Trinity, cutting off the attacks, and unleashing a shock-wave to blast Beck into the wall before he could try and fix Trinity.

The two interlopers revealed themselves to be Towa and Saya. As the two Black Swans descended Ben gave them a bitter look." Damn it, you people again? And here I was hoping the Beyonder would not interfere in his own game."

Beck saw the two-new woman before his jaw dropped." Who are these ladies? They don't look like Super heroes, but I don't remember Superman, Batman, Captain America or any of the others talk about these two!"

Ben saw Towa laugh before he sighed." They are not part of the game Beck, they are in a way the Beyonder's referees, the Black Swans are his direct envoys!"

Saya just leaned forward before she threw out a sultry," What do we have here Towa? Seems the chosen one here has done his homework. Without a doubt, they really did come here to undermined the Master's will."

Towa's expression hardened before she pointed her wand at Ben."Ben Auro…it vexes are master that you know what you are not supposed to know. Never the less, whatever you think you know, no power in the universe can deny Rabum Alal his will! For not knowing your place, your demise is ordered to be the most agonizing kind possible. No matter what you and your allies think, you cannot stop the game!"

Ben could not help form a slick grin on his face before he cracked his neck." If you knew me at all, you would know many have told me that in the past, and I proved them all wrong. And I'll prove you and your master wrong to, and shut down this sick game of turning heroes on each other!"

Towa could not help but laugh again as she floated right above Trinity." We know all about the adventures of the so called savior of the universe. It's true you defeated Chaos Zannacross Necron, but our master has power that surpasses even him. After all, he is not bound at all to the universe you hold so dear.

Yes, you may be the ultimate hero, but our master is currently observing what it truly means to be a great hero, as he has some of the greatest heroes of legend fight each other to the death. You assume we turned the hero's against each other, but they did that without any extra magical influence.

True, we were the ones to force them to take part in Battle-World, but they chose to have a schism, they chose to try and kill each over out of their ideals, out of pride, out of desperation."

Saya crossed her arms before adding,"You hero's champion ideas that are mere fantasy. Our master exposed how hypocritical you so called saviors are when push comes to shove. Idealism fades fast when there are not enough resources around to keep the fantasy afloat. Such noble statements are merely hollow when your forced to decide what's truly important to you.

Yes, there may be times when one is able to cling to luxuries, even long enough for themselves. But in time, every dream dies. Some efforts endured longer than others, some hero's left legacies long enough to delude the masses into thinking that the dream will never end, only for them to be awakened to cruel reality.

Our Master is simply forcing a collection of hero's to have the illusion of their dreams shattered, to see who will endure and come out on top."

Ben grimaced in disgust before he pointed the Star Sword at the Black Swans." You think you know everything when you seen everything from afar Swans? Even if things come undone in time, it does not mean that the legacy of the universes heroes was meaningless! Every victory they had, allowed the universe to live on for another day, for another year!

And I learned from the mistakes of the past, to push forward and create a future that will surpass any era! Heroes are not perfect, and I admit anyone that thought they were ended up just deluded themselves and anyone around them. I sure as hell am not perfect, but I know with my friend and comrades I can make a better tomorrow for anyone that's willing to listen to sanity!

People naturally disagree, but I'm striving to create a society that is not harsh enough to be place were people who don't have everything in common treat each other like enemies. And to do that, first on my list is making sure you Swans and your boss does not shatter the universe, or kill my friends with this plan Stark, Black Bolt, or whoever plans to use Trinity for!"

Saya glanced back at Trinity with a detached look. " The flow of time said that Trinity fell to Beck, thus it would seem she would fall to your combined might rather easily. Of course, that just means we will have to alter history a tad. Trinity might be a confused robot, but she will just have to merge with a robot that left a legacy of malice!"

The fox eared Black Swan snapped her fingers before the ground in front of her opened, and the body of a cracked robot emerged. Ben did not recall the robot, but as Saya glanced at the remains of the wide jaw of her target she smirked." Yes, this machine, this Ultron has been the bane of the hero's called the Avengers, and time and again he came back from the brink of destruction to try and exterminate all humans to replace them for his " Age of Ultron", an age where inorganic life ruled over the organics.

Yes, our master has been quite curious why time and again you create machines, theses " Robots" with the intent of taking care of your problems, only to be surprised when they try to correct the ultimate flaw, themselves. Yes, time and again mortals want to purge every flaw they see, only to see that the ultimate flaw is themselves. Ah yes, and most of you hero's dealt with a foe that strongly wanted inorganics to dominate others yes? "

Towa giggled before adding a devious," His tale did seem like one of the more amusing ones from a inorganic, lets add him into the mix to!"

"Very well, let's make this a reunion from the nightmares of the past!"

Both Black Swans fired a beam at the remains of Ultron, and the beam turned purple before it merged with Trinity. A beam of light blinded everyone, and moments later they saw that were Trinity stood now stood a towering humanoid shape.

The core that seemed to be Trinity's essence now glowed brightly at the center of the new figure. The new figure suddenly had large jaws open out from the parts of its chest, the same jaws the Ultron figure had before, before its hands glowed purple.

Zero saw the figure suddenly lurch forward before he sneered." Throw together whatever piles of scarp you want, we busted dozens of mavericks over the years, and we will do it again!"

The fusion of Ultron and Trinity suddenly lurched forward, before it suddenly unleashed a laugh full of malice. As everyone paused the new figure uttered an erratic," No matter how many times you try, it will all be futile, ZERO!"

Ben and the Maverick Hunters froze before X mumbled,"That voice, it can't be, it's impossible!"

The new voice kept laughing, before it showed the face on its human head, showing a skull like face with red eyes, and a red dot on the forehead.

While it looked much more skeletal then how the face normally looked, it was the unique head of the dreaded Sigma, the former leader of the Maverick Hunters that found Zero, got consumed with his virus, and became one of the most terrible mavericks in the history of the universe.

A purple symbol that looked like a broken sigh of Infinity appeared on the man's forehead, and as Sigma looked right into X's eyes before narrowing his own." What's impossible is for your dream to ever come true, Megaman X! I told you again and again, no matter how hard you try, my hatred for you damned hunters will never die!"

Axl saw how shocked his comrades looked and just rolled his eyes." C'mon guys don't let theses broads mess with yah! No way Sigma can be back from the dead, his essence died when Zannacross was beaten, along with every other bad guy in history! His very soul was erased and everything!"

Towa looked proud as she thrusted her wand into the air."Now do you understand the depths of our master cretin? It matters not if the one you call Sigma was both killed and erased from reality, he still was a part of history, and thus still could be reborn!"

Zero glared at his longtime nemesis before pointing his Z-saber at him." So this is some time remnant, some copy or something like that? Whatever, it may look and sound like him but a fake is going to do just as good as the real deal!"

The Ultron-Sigma-Trinty hybrid howled with rage as he grasped his fist tightly." X…Zero…you can cling on to your dream till the end of time, and it will never come true! You erratically defending your pathetic human masters after they fail you again and again is so infuriating.

As long as your hypocrisy represses those who are truly worthy to rule over all, that hatred will bring me back again and again till I exterminate you all! X…Zero…DIE!"

Sigma's chest head that looked like Ultron glowed, before it opened its mouth and in an instant fired a massive purple energy blast that carved up the ground as it roared at the heroes. Ben quickly powered up and dashed at the blast before slashing at it with the Star Sword. While he was pushed back a few feet, after uttering a battle cry he was able to slash the blast upwards.

As it melted through the ceiling Ben gave Sigma a deadly glare."Your wrong Sigma, it's not perfect now but since the war has ended the relationship between organics and inorganics has approved! I won't let a mad phantom ruin the progress Doctor Light, and so many others have made!"

Beck saw the raw hate in Sigma's eye before he winced." Megaman, that's your arch enemy? He's like a metal demon!"

"He's intense alright, but don't worry Beck, nothing he throws at us is something we can't handle!" Ben uttered as he gave a confident smirk." We beat Sigma at his best, and we sure as hell are not going to lose to a cheap copy!"

Towa narrowed her eyes before countering with a sharp,"True as that may be, you will fall now all the same! You may have beaten Sigma in the past, so I will send someone that won't fail to the likes of you! Yes, my personal champion, the Masters experiment with his own life form, will show that the new world is superior to all from the old! Come to me Mira!"

Towa fired a blast of red energy from her wand to have a black colored pentagram form in front of her. Moments later Ben braced himself as the same blue skinned man he fought during the Incursion appeared out of the ground.

Mira had his eyes closed as he ascended, but as he landed he opened his eyes and looked right at Ben." You summoned me to your side mistress? I take it there are, complications to the plan?"

"The game has gone, down a path our Master does not wish it to, so you are to make things right. Mira, the man in front of you is Ben Auro, that so called savor of the universe. Show him how illegitimate his title is!"

Mira saw Ben glaring at him before he cracked his neck." That's all? It will be my pleasure to prove I am the ultimate fighter there is."

Ben just gave a wary sigh as he got back into a fighting stance." You can boast all you want, but I'll cut you down every time! I seen what you can do and trust me, it won't be enough!"

Mira just raised an eyebrow before spitting out a blunt,"Can this hero read minds? How could he know what I can do when this is the first time we have met?"

Ben realized what he said and just chuckled."Oh, you know, when you cut down as many bad guys as me they all look the same. No offense, but your nothing special, just another pawn that's programmed to think they are a god."

Mira suddenly had his energy explode as he extended his hand." I'm not a god, I exist to slay gods! I will eliminate you now."

The blue skinned man had a red aura explode out before he fired a red energy blast. Ben slashed the blast and found himself being pushed back further then Sigma's attack. Towa giggled at seeing Ben struggle before she cooed out." You will find things going different this time Enji Knight.

Mira was the only one to be given the title of Dimensional Nihilo General by default. And that's because the master created him with the sole purpose of being his envoy of the new world!"

"You know how many times I heard that before?"

Ben uttered dryly as he slashed the energy blast in half. As he did he winced as Mira suddenly charged at him while crying out," No, but this time will be the last!"

Mira then unleashed a burst of speed before he unleashed an uppercut that struck Ben with enough force to launch him right out of the building. Lloyd saw his comrade go flying before he cried out a tense," Ben no! That blue dude's crazy, we got to help him take him down!"

Saya shrugged before retorting with a sassy," Sorry boys, I got playmates for you as well! Dokumezu, Dokugozu, get to work!"

Lloyd raised an eyebrow before everyone heard a horse like yell, till suddenly the two-giant human like beings with horse heads that Saya had attack Beerus in vain during the Incursion jump down in front of Lloyd, Renji, and the others. Genis saw the drool drop down from the blue skinned enemy and looked revolted."I'll give you that these are some of the ugliest monsters that got in our way yet!"

Dokugozu had steam snort out of his nostrils before snarling out," I'm one of the most stylish men in this universe you damn punk! We will see how smug you are when you're in my belly!"

The servant of the Black Swan suddenly unleashed a burst of acidic mist from his nostrils, and as Genis and his group ran away Saya giggled." They may not be as…sleek as Mira but, they are good at crowd control. You Enji Knights won't feel so holy after our boys give you a, oh?"

Saya heard a noise and swerved her head just as a bullet came for her head. She saw the attack came from Renji, and as she glanced at the man with two hair colors the Enji seethed out," You woman can't hide behind your toys forever! If you truly are the source of this crises, then you're going to pay with your life!"

Saya merely looked amused before snapping back with," Think I'm a helpless damsel hiding behind my men? Think again fool!"

The fox eared woman suddenly threw her coat in Renji's direction, and the moment it covered the Enji's eyes Renji felt a surge of pressure and readied himself, just as he saw an energy blast blaze through the coat. Renji's fighting instincts were refined enough for him to block the attack.

As he did Saya charged at her with twin blades, and as her target parried the strikes she just smirked."Aw a feisty one eh? Good, I wanted a few personal trophies before the Master has his way with your universe."

"Go to hell freak!"

"Now why would I want to go to a place that's soon not going to exist? Keep resisting boy, it will just make killing you even more fun!"

The two quickly unleashed a barrage of slashes that were so fast that they looked like blurs. X saw Renji hold Saya back, and saw Lloyd's group avoid her two horse headed minions and wondered about assisting them, till Sigma laughed madly again as he unleashed another blast from his mouth.

The six-robotic hero's jumped to the sides to avoid being hit, and saw that the blast left a massive trail of fire in the wake of the attack. As X landed on the ground Sigma just laughed madly as he formed a large broadsword out of the ground and welded it."Insolent fools... Your failure is inevitable... Your allies can't stop fate this time Maverick Hunters! This time, nothing will stop me from assimilating every fragment of your body!"

Zero got on guard before muttering,"Great, he's nearly as delirious as the time that Gate brought him back to life. Only this time his mind may be incomplete, but his power's not thanks to those Swan broads!"

Axl kept his pistols aimed at the remnant of their arch rival before adding," We better hope Ben can handle that blue dude fast, if we need his help to stop him like we did in Zannacross's castle this is going to get ugly fast."

X saw Sigma's eyes twitch before he had his Ultimate Armor form." Don't have doubts now Axl. This may sound like Sigma, have his power and skills, and even think he is Sigma, but in the end it's just that Trinity being consumed with Sigma's programing and data."

Beck eyed Sigma carefully before he steeled himself." X…X is right! It's being repressed but I can still feel Trinity in the core of this guy! If, if we can hold him down long enough, I might be able to fix her! I don't know if I'm powerful enough to break control of those lady's magic though."

Megaman put his arm on Beck's shoulder before throwing out a reassuring," We won't know till we try, right? We don't have a choice, we have people to save!"

Megaman swiftly transformed back to his Hyper Mode as Protoman, and Zero also transformed into their full powered states.

Sigma saw the transformations and just looked even more manic before he raised his sword into the air and had shine with more and more energy by the second." Contemptuous fool, we will erase you! Dismiss me as a fake all you want, but we...no...I am Sigma! Now, let the new age begin, on the corpses of those without purpose!"

The metallic specter fired a barrage of rays at everyone, and while they were evaded, as X dodged the projectiles coming his way Sigma was suddenly above him, and jabbed his right knee at X, just as a spike came out of it. The blade was aiming for X's face, and the maverick hunter had just enough time to block it with his Buster arm. Sigma saw X wince and swiftly raised his sword to prepare to slice his long-time foe's head off. Before he could, Zero caught that hand with his heat whip before charging at him with his Z-Saber.

Sigma quickly parried his slash, and as the two struggled to overpower each other the man who gave Sigma his virus gave him a damning look."You just could never accept that your way was the glitches one eh Sigma? Call us purposelessness, obsolete, or whatever, but we are fighting for something real! It's been a slow few years but I seen Ben's been serious about making a better world for everyone! And I'll do what it takes to keep evil freaks from other realities and ghosts like you from messing that up!"

Sigma had his Ultron mouth open wide again, but before it could fire at Zero at point blank range Megaman, Beck, Axl, and Protoman fired at him from all directions. Sigma snarled at the sight of this, and had metal walls rise out of the ground to intercept the shots.

He then grasped his free arm before more pillars raised out of the ground to try and crush his attackers. "Good, evil... We have transcended such... limited concepts that organics cling to. You wanted to be humans so badly you assimilated the foolishness of humans! The utopia your savior is seeking will never become reality, it's just a fantasy forged by organic's insanity! Humans say they want peace, but also seek war to assert their dominance! I'm being merciful, cutting you all down before you learn the hard way what utter nonsense the tomorrow made up of humanity's inconsistency and incongruity your walking towards really is!"

"Your wrong!" Beck retorted as he jumped out of the way of another rising pillar that was littered with spikes." I only known Ben Auro for a short time, but I seen how passionate he is about doing what's right! I'm willing to bet on his dream over yours!"

Beck gathered his powers before he merged with the part of Counter Shade he absorbed and aimed at Sigma with his newly formed sniper rifle. The Mighty Number quickly fired off a few Reflect Shots, and while Sigma easily evaded the blasts, those projectiles bounced off of the wall to hit Sigma in the back.

The attacks did not even scratch Sigma, but the attack made him redirect his attention, long enough for Beck to then unleash the Frozen Liquid power he got from assimilating part of the Mighty Number Cryosphere.

Beck swiftly unleashed a burst of extremely cold water that manages to freeze Sigma's sword arm. It only took Beck's target a second to break out of the ice, but that was all it took for both Protoman and Zero to dash at him with their blades. Sigma got slashed in the chest by Protoman 's blade before he blocked Zero's strike." The illogical hopes of the organics, soon, soon that will all be deleted!"

Sigma had a pair of spiky javelin like tentacles sprout out of his back to repel his attackers. As X's group tensely tried to figure out how to prevent the ghost of his arch-enemy from wrecking everything.

At the same time, Ben was tensely figuring out how to make sure the new challenger that got thrown at him. While Mira did punch him hard enough to knock him right out of the coliseum Ben was able to brace himself so that he did not suffer to much damage from the blow.

As he balanced himself in midair he saw Mira fly above him and sighed." Well I see your eager to prove yourself so let's just get this over with. You know what I think about it between the silver hair and the burning obsession with being the ultimate fighter you remind me of Ezan when we first met, just less blue."

Mira merely cracked his neck before throwing out a sour," The data must have been falsified. Nothing indicates you are the champion of the universe, your power level is far too low."

"That so wiseass? How about after a little Bankai!"

Ben quickly unleashed the next stage of power of the Star Sword. As his golden aura expanded immensely Mira raised an eyebrow." So, you were hiding your power? Well, at least now you're going to give me a decent workout. At the very least your DNA might be worth harvesting."

"Sorry, I not in the mood for donations!"

Ben had a golden sword of energy appear in his free hand before he burst right at Mira. His blue skinned foe tried to punch Ben in the gut, but while for a moment he thought he hit Ben, suddenly the image of the Enji Knight flickered before it vanished.

Mira realize he fell for a after image and unleashed a roundhouse kick to the right, and thought he hit Ben, only to quickly find out that was another after image. Mira's composure did not break, and swerved around behind him, only to see a golden energy sword fly for his face.

Mira swerved out of the way, only to realize the energy blade cut his face. Ben suddenly appeared from above to try and attack only for Mira to suddenly grasp his arm. A flash of anger appeared across Mira's face as Ben struggled to break out of his opponent's hold." You ruined my face, there will be a price for that Enji."

"Did not think of you as the vain type that checks himself in the mirror but guess we all have hidden sides to us."

"I don't care about those trivialities, but you damaged my pride as the ultimate fighter."

"Er…nothing personal, but if you're trying to destroy everything I care about because of your pride then that's something that sure as hell is getting cut down to size!"

"If you're an obstacle that stands in the way of the great wheel from turning then you will be exterminated regardless of how much you oppose it. But at least your reputation is well earned. Perfect, defeating you will be both the definitive proof of my strength and Towa's genius!"

"Is that your reason for fighting? Because that Black Swan Towa programmed you to feel that way? My reason is not just my own, but all of the people that is depending on me to win!"

"It does not matter what the reason of an inferior life form has! Just be erased along with all the other obsolete trash! Serious Bomb!"

Mira's energy exploded before he unleashed a massive red energy bomb in his free hand and fired it right at Ben's face. The blast quickly rocketed Ben into the air.

As the Enji saw that he was rapidly heading for the planet's atmosphere, and also saw the glimmer of a large barrier around the planet he winced." Guess he really is serious if he is throwing a "Serious Bomb" at me. Well, he is no joke but I just have to be even more serious! Kaio Ken…times four!"

Ben's energy suddenly turned blood red as his power increased enough to allow him to slash the Serious Bomb in half. Mira was shocked to see his attack shatter, and even more shocked to see Ben was fast enough to reappear in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The blue Dimensional General saw Ben swing his sword and caught it again, only for Ben to reveal that was a feint as he suddenly swerved around to unleash a roundhouse kick that hit Mira hard enough to make him cough up blood. Ben saw his target go flying and kept up the pressure by warping behind Mira to kick him in the head, then warp around again to slam him again in the back. The combo smashed Mira through a chunk of Attilan, but Mira burst back before the buildings even finished collapsing.

The inorganic enemy saw the wounds Ben left on him and grasped his fist tightly as he saw the Kaio-Ken wear off. "So you can increase your power even further in bursts? You defy the logical make up of human beings."

"What can I say, other than super heroes defy expectations."

"So, they say Enji, but all of this is just making me even more determined to put you in your place."

"I can tell you were serious with all those Serious Bombs your throwing around. Seriously, I heard a lot of attack names that sound odd because of culture differences but what's up with that attack name? Is it like, you seriously wanting to blow me up?"

"Enough clown, the likes of you have no right to defy the will of Rabum Alal! Your giving me more of a test then I first assumed, but all you have done is anger me enough to release my limiter!"

Mira's eyes glowed red before he yelled, and had his muscles bulge enough to push off the outer layer of his armor. Veins appeared over his face as his hair started getting spiky like that of a Super Saiyan.

As Mira yelled with enough force to shatter the glass on the buildings around him his purple aura now had sparks of lighting crackling around him. The burst of power blasted Ben back, causing him to wince." Damn it, this going to be another one of these kinds of, whoa!"

Ben was cut off as in an instant Mira was in front of him. Ben blocked his foe's punch, but even blocking caused his arms to shake. Mira just responded with a blood thirsty yell and Ben quickly cast Kaio-Ken again to keep up with his enemy's frantic assault. Ben found himself pushed further and further back.

As Ben got pushed into a skyscraper he tried to push Mira back, only for the enemy to grin before he opened his mouth to prepare to blast Ben's head off while they were in a deadlock. The Enji saw this and quickly formed a golden energy sword in his free hand to try and stab Mira in the mouth.

This succeeded in causing the blast to back fire, and as Mira saw Ben dash into the air and have golden energy swords rain down on him he snarled out." All of your tricks are useless, I have the DNA of all the strongest races in history incorporated into my body! I won't relent till I ripped out your heart! God…Kamehameha!"

Mira gathered a large amount of energy into his hands before unleashing a massive red and black energy beam. Mira saw Ben try and dash out of the way and had the beam get even larger as it vaporized a large chunk of the flying Inhuman city.

The blast went on to the mountains below before and vaporized many of them in a massive explosion. Mira was motionless as the light form his blast faded. He then saw some of the rubble from the ruined buildings shift, and instantly fired a blast in that direction. He saw Ben jump out of the rubble, and in a burst of speed charge at him, before punching him in the chest.

The Dimensional General flashed a vile grin at seeing Ben's expression of shock before he dug his hand in deeper." I told you that I would not stop till I crushed your heart hero! And I keep my promises no matter what!"

Ben gasped for a moment, and suddenly grinned. Mira raised an eyebrow before Ben's entire body suddenly turned white, and exploded, releasing a blinding light in the process. Mira covered his eyes on instinct. As he was blinded he struggled to figure out just what happen, only to get a sharp realization as he felt a sharp pain burst through his chest.

When he opened his eyes, he realized the Star Sword was through his heart, and that Ben was holding it behind him. Mira quickly roared with raw rage, before coughing up blood from Ben's blow.

As the savior of the universe kept a tight hold on his enemy he smirked." I would say you were careless studying about Shadow Clones but to be fair, I only finished mastering the exploding light Shadow Clone the past few months. I could see you were keen on keeping your word, so keen that I figured I could lure you long enough to lower your guard to create an opening. Nothing personal, but I have a lot of things to still get done with not much time to pull it off, hence why I'm not wasting time with a generic doomsday bot like you."

"Generic, me? Impossible, I'm the ultimate android, my power far surpasses that of Sigma and all other inorganics in my archives!"

"Maybe, but as evil as Sigma was he had a style and flare to him. You, your just screaming generic blasé henchmen. Well, now you're going to be screaming something else, because now it's your turn to get a blast at point blank range! Not sure if you can regenerate or not but this is going to sting! Burning, Celestial, Shinryukenha!"

"NO! RAHH!"

The owner of the Star Sword unleashed his energy blast right at Mira's back, consuming him with golden light. Ben saw Mira get blasted right through Attilan, and get blasted deep into the ground before unleashing an explosion strong enough to cause the entire flying city to get blown back.

Towa had flown to see how Mira was doing all this time, and as she saw her creation be blown back she looked mortified." No, Mira! That heathen won't deny us! I'll, AH!"

The Black Swan was about to cast a spell when suddenly flames erupted all around her. The blue skinned woman quickly cast a barrier to defend herself, but even as she avoided being melted the flames made her feel intense heat. She then saw Yamamoto fly above her, and as she narrowed her eyes the bald Enji Master narrowed his further." Wench, don't think you can get rid of a warrior of my caliber by throwing your servants at me! You puppets won't interfere with what we must do! Sōkotsu!"

Yamamoto swiftly unleashed a two-fisted punch with enough force to send Towa flying right through Attilan. Her barrier endured the strike, but the impact still rattled her long enough for her to be unable to assist Mira, leaving the Dimensional General to take Ben's blast with full force as it exploded.

Ben winced as he saw how large a hole he made before chuckling bitterly." Well I suppose I don't have to worry about collateral damage to much on a fake planet. Not sure if that took him down for good, but hopefully that can at least giving me enough breathing room to get things done."

As Ben looked around Yamamoto cut in with a curt," And just how do you plan to get things done Ben?"

Ben saw the Enji Master fly up to him before he took a deep breath." Thanks for the assist Master. Well, just keeping an eye out for any unwanted surprises before taking down the biggest threat."

"They are all potential threats Ben, don't forget that. But for now, the bomb that merged with the ghost of the maverick hunter's stubborn foe seems the most urgent."

"True enough, just making sure we don't have even more surprises thrown at us. I, huh? Damn, was hoping the others could keep things under control but seems things are getting crazy back at the throne room! Better, make sure things don't get out of hand."

"Your focusing on them? They are not even real!"

"Don't worry about it, with shadow clones I can multitask well right? Besides, even if it's just a bunch of game pieces, if they go nuts it will just mean more trouble for us so, I'll do what I can to salvage a mess if I can help it. After all, it's what a hero does right? Despite what those Black Swans say, I still think it means something."

With that the brown-haired swordsmen flew in the direction of the throne room to attend to his hunch, not realizing just yet things escalated even worst then he figured.

The battle royal between the three groups got even more brutal after Ben's group went for Trinity, with each group slowly taking more casualties. At the moment, Professor Xavier and Maximus were still in their mental dead lock, With Maximus using his tech to make up for Xaiver's superior mental power.

Both groups tried to pile on Black Bolt, but some of the Inhuman 's used their powers to neutralize the mute spell that Ben cast on the Midnight King, causing the ruler of the Inhuman's to blast everyone back with another thunderous yell.

Black Bolt tried to take out everyone at once with a yell that caused the entire throne room to crack. However Superman showed the extent of his durability as he trudged through the massive force Black Bolt was releasing, and endured long enough to slug Black Bolt into a wall. As the man in black got back up the Man of Steel just grimaced." Black Bolt, I saw you were a good king, don't ruin your legacy by forcing yourself to be a mad genocidal king!"

Black Bolt had his face twitch, and before he was just about to yell again when Wonder Woman suddenly tackled Black Bolt to the ground. Superman looked relived for a few moments, till at that time Ben unleashed the attack that blasted Mira out of the city.

As everyone saw the massive explosion erupt in the distance Superman saw the entire floating city shake before he winced." I really hope that was not the bomb. Seems like Ben has a very tough obstacle in his way, but who's left? Far as I can tell, all of the players on all teams are here, the ones that are still alive. Well, there is still Jean but, Batman said this place had something installed to, wait, oh."

Superman was cut off as another barrage of explosions broke out over the area Ben unleashed his blast.

Maximus saw this before he cringed." Damn it all, those new interlopers damaged to many critical systems! Brother, they destroyed the Phoenix Scrambler cannon!"

Even Black Bolt winced as everyone suddenly heard a primal, monstrous roar. The room suddenly got brighter as fire begun to rain down, hitting many of the Inhumans. Jean then descended into the throne room, looking at Black Bolt with disdain. The Inhuman's Inferno, Quake, and Maelstrom tried to attack Jean, but the Omega level Mutant causally used her enhanced psychic powers to redirect their attacks and blast them out of the room.

She then got closer to Black Bolt before muttering a calm," Even if you delude yourself into saying your just doing this to protect your people, you're still trying to eradicate mine Midnight King! And that's not something the Phoenix can forgive."

Black Bolt prepared to scream at Jean, only for his target to casually have a pebble lift up and shoot into his mouth before he could attack. Medusa saw her husband choke before she glared at the other red head with fury." Damn you Jean Grey, I don't care what you call yourself, you will pay for making a mockery of my husband! When it comes down to it, the Inhumans were chosen, while the Mutants have always been a mistake! When push comes to shove, the worthiest should take priority! Every breath you take is mercy, a king's mercy! But since you X-men had such arrogance this can only end badly!"

Medusa then took out a pistol that Maximus designed to work on the Phoenix, but the moment she did Jean narrowed her eyes, and had her right wing of fire swiftly swing down on the Inhuman Queen. Jean only hit the tips of Medusa's long hair, but the blow was enough to quickly cause her to be set ablaze.

As Medusa screamed in pain Jean saw Crystal desperately try to put her sister out she sighed." Inhumans may have come first, but first is not always better. We could have worked together to find a way both sides could prosper, but the moment you decided only your side mattered, you sealed your fate. You forced our hand, and now you must pay the price."

Jean suddenly unleashed a blast of fire at Medusa and Black Bolt, only for Superman to suddenly block the flames with his body. The Kryptonian Superhero gave Jean a wary gaze before he flew higher." Black Bolt was wrong, but being as extreme as him will solve nothing Jean Grey. I don't want any side to be taken out, but the genocidal ideas have to end now!"

Jean just had her wings extend before countering with a sour," You willingly let Black Bolt go through with his plans because you did not want to get your hands dirty. Man of Steel, you were to worried about not getting your hands dirty, and so you and the others were not really willing to save anyone.

You and the rest of the Justice League, along with Rogers, are more concerned about protecting ideals then lives. I care more about the future then the glory of the past, and am willing to do what it takes to do just that."

"I saw how determined you were before Jean, I'm just glad your more in control of your emotions then before. I am sorry we all have such different ideas about what is the most important things to protect. I'm sorry I made mistakes that wronged your side, but those ideas you mock are important to me, and I will do what it takes to protect them, to the end."

"To that I agree, so I guess the only thing left is to see who's will is stronger."

Jean charged right at Superman, causing a shock-wave that knocked everyone back. Iron Man was one of the many who had to rebound from the collision, and as he saw Superman and Jean try to overpower each other he winced."Damn, even after how much I thought this out did not think things were going to go down this crazy! But, just a little more time and I can redirect the, huh?"

Stark saw Captain America's shield coming for him yet again and blasted it out of the air. As he did, his former friend tackled him and used all of his super strength to keep him pinned.

As Iron Man saw his former teammate glare at him the older man seethed out," Time to settle up Tony! You have to wake up, to just what disaster you caused! You have become so stuck in your god damn ego you don't even know what you are anymore!"

"You just don't get it, and it's getting old! You think I don't know who I am? You think I don't know who you are!?"

"And you may know, but I don't! I don't know you anymore at all…and I don't want to…I just want to force you to admit you lied! Everything the Avengers stood for, it was all a lie, a joke to a playboy that never took anything seriously! When it came for the moment when it mattered most, you were a coward and took short cuts! And you will pay for, GUH!"

Iron Man suddenly had his armor discharge a painful amount of voltage into Captain America, before he stood up." I'm not going to let your out of date ideals ruin everything Steve! You're too stubborn to admit my way is the only way to win. But despite what you think this is not a joke to me! That's why I'll do whatever it takes to pull it off, and you don't have what it takes to stop me!"

Iron Man suddenly hear a noise and swerved around to see a blue glowing batrange coming for him. As he blasted it out of the air and it exploded into smoke he saw Batman, still in his battle suit fly into the air." He can't, but I can. I mapped out your armor Stark, it's over!"

The dark knight suddenly had his armor unleash a dozen more projectiles that all swerved erratically till they became drawn to Stark's armor like a magnet and struck him all over. Iron Man saw Batman's projectiles all glow in unison and unleash a painful amount of voltage into Stark's armor.

The man inside yelled in pain, and had his armor release tendrils of its material to suddenly strike Batman, and try and corrupt his armor. The caped crusader quickly ejected his armor and just narrowed his eyes." To late Stark, as advanced as your armor is, I was able to lock on to its energy wavelength. It's over, there are no shortcuts to justice."

Batman grasped his fist, and all the Batarang 's in Stark's armor glowed before firing beams of energy to each other, forming a web of energy that unleashed beams of light all over Stark, causing his armor to shatter in fragments. Stark realized Batman's gadgets were scrambling all his systems before he yelled out," No, your close but you can't outsmart me Wayne! Have to, GUH!"

Captain America reequipped his shield and punched Stark to the ground with it. As Iron Man fell to the ground he tried to blast the First Avenger, only for the armor on his left arm to blow up. Rogers then bashed Stark in the face with his shield before yelling out," You're not the god you think you are Stark, its over! I want to hear it Tony! Are you listing to me, old friend? Say it!"

Rogers bashed Iron Man hard enough to smash the face plate off his armor, and just kept slugging his former friend, getting madder every second." SAY IT! I want you to say your wrong, that you knew it was a lie!"

Stark was hit so hard that he coughed up blood before he suddenly put his hands in the air. "Wait, wait! You…you're right. I…I lied! I knew…that it would never work out, not if you never changed. Do…you know what…I would have done…done differently now Steve? Nothing! Because I'm a futurist, and I'll always pick doing what must be done to secure the future over focusing on out of date ideas!"

Steve seethed with rage before yelling in the air. He then kneed Tony hard enough to knock out a tooth before snarling out,"The ideas that I cherish Stark, are not out of date! Those principles are the things that matter most of all! You don't respect life, then you don't deserve it!"

The leader of the Avengers prepared to smash Stark's head with his shield hard enough to shatter it, but before he could, Ben suddenly appeared in between the two men, and caught Captain America's shield.

The First Avenger had his eye twitch as he realized Ben was suddenly blocking his strike before he seethed out,"What the hell are you doing kid? Do you even know what I'm doing?"

"I am, do you?" Ben calmly responded." Because it looked like you were about to kill him."

"What the hell are you doing here anyway? Don't you have that bomb to set off?"

"Er…its complicated but don't worry, I have a clone helping my pals seal the deal over there. The point is, I don't know if you realized it but Stark is to wounded to keep fighting, if you keep hitting him he is going to die."

"That's just what he wants you to think! Stark is to clever, he is always plotting things, the only way to truly stop him, is to shut him down permanently!"

"I thought you were so mad at him in the first place because he tarnished the image of a hero? Don't you realize killing a beaten man would be just as outrageous?"

"Don't act like you understand this Ben Auro! You don't know Stark like I do, and he betrayed us all!"

"Your right, I don't know him like you do. However…I do know what it feels like to be betrayed by those that's close to you. It sucks, a lot. However, after a while, at least some of the time those that hurt me had a somewhat decent reason for what they did. It was wrong of what Stark and the others did, but did you even ask what their game plan was?"

"They blew up worlds Enji, they killed millions! That's all I need to know! They did something wrong, that's all there is to it!"

"With all due respect, I can see you, Superman, Miss Danvers and the others are serious about doing what's right without a doubt but you were about to let Black Bolt gas everyone to win!"

"I did not want that to happen, the Inhumans lied to me to!"

"But you did not even bother to see what they were up to till it really blew up in everyone's faces! I could feel the hate hovering around you man, your dead set on shutting down Stark! I get it, he lied to you and did something horrible. That being said, aren't most of you still hero's?

Even if you were not all from the same world, or even time, don't most of you know what it takes to be a true hero to know what's important? I sure as hell don't want to resort to mass death's either, for one thing that would affect my friends. Still, after everything you all went through don't you think at least you own them the chance to work things out?"

"What is there to work out? He is going to blow up planets! He's forsaken everything just to live at any cost!"

"He brought back Jean Grey when he did not have to though."

"All he wanted was the power of the Phoenix Force at his side!"

"As smart as he is he could not invent something to control her?"

"She and the other X-men shared his blood thirsty mindset, that proves nothing!"

"What about him using Trinity? If it was raw power he did not need Trinity if he had Jean and some of the others."

"You think you know his plans? It's some sort of thing that only makes sense in his twisted head!"

Stark coughed up blood before he leaned back." You know Steve…call me a liar all you want but hero boy is right. I was going to use Trinity to try and end things on the best terms possible, even if it was a bit risky in all kinds of ways."

"Don't think you can revise things now, not after what I saw you do! You blew up a planet and wanted to do it again!"

"That is true but not in the way you think! We were going to combined Trinity with my tech and a few other things to try and absorb all the energy at once from everyone in the other worlds so we could win. The first time we tried it, it did not go as planned."

"So you admit your guilty then?"

"I admit it, did not go as planned. It's risky yes, but it's still the best shot we got! C'mon Steve, none of…well…most of us here don't want to just see blood go flying but you think the people that are left on the other worlds are not thinking of something even worst?"

Ben saw that not only had Roger's look conflicted, but that most of the hero's around him and stopped to listen before the owner of the Star Sword cleared his throat." I can't count for everyone but on my way here, I got a sneak peek at some of the other guys taking part in this game, and while there may be other hero's out there, you can bet there are also villains that won't hesitate to destroy this planet once they are done on their worlds."

"So we stoop to their level because that's the only way Auro?" Rogers' spat out as his eye twitched." Even if Black Bolt was lying to us, Stark still had Trinity try and consume the city and everyone in it!"

"Not that you're going to trust me but, that was not me. I mean, maybe it went crazy but that was not what I intended!"

Ben saw Rodgers glare at Steve before he sighed." For what it's worth that part is not on Stark. Just as we got to Trinity some of the Black Swans showed up to make things worse, I think they are the one that made Trinity go haywire in the first place. Er…I should really check up on how they and my clone are doing.

Still, Stark's not the source of everything that's gone wrong at least. It does seem that your madder at him then the one who is causing all of this in the first place from here Cap."

Roger's flinched again before he looked at his shield." I have very few expectations from my enemies, but I do expect things from my friends, from my teammates! A soldier has to know he can count on his unit to not stab him in the back, and a person in the unit with no morals can't be trusted."

Ben sighed before he looked up in the air." Trust me, I know how important morals are. That being said…if you cling to your ideals so tightly that people die because of them, that's kind of worst right? Compromising is not something that should be trivial, but if you care for your friends, loved ones, and all that then you have to bend sometimes so things don't break, right?"

Rogers then looked at his shield before he grit his teeth." You don't understand, I was frozen for decades, and when I awoke the majority of the people I knew died. All I had left, was the Avengers, and my ideals! I'm example of what is right, if I give that up, then I have nothing left, then I'm nothing! That's why, no matter how "out of date" my ideas are, I'll stand by them no matter what!"

Ben winced, but before he could retort Superman flew over to Rodgers." Steve, I know how important your ideas are to you but, at some level Ben has a point. If the ideas are causing more harm than good is it not right to alter them to the situation, to be " up to date"? "

Ben smirked before adding," I know what it's like to have high expectations, currently most of the universe sees me as the ultimate hero, as the savior that will guide people to a better tomorrow. Its, a lot of pressure knowing most people alive expect you to lead the way to the best way forward, but I have faith what I'm doing, while maybe not what everyone wants, is the best path forward.

Cap, Superman, everyone, the Beyonder wants us to kill each other, but we have to prove him wrong, and prove that heroes are not just a façade but the real deal!"

Captain America looked at everyone for a few moments, before he glanced back at Stark." Stark…this plan of yours, can it really work?"

Iron Man coughed up a tooth before he smirked." Not going to say its full proof but, still better then what anyone else has planned so far, especially genocide by mist."

"Well, if we are right with you when you pull it off, then that would be the best chance to shut it down if it got out of line. As long, as it's not too late."

"C'mon Steve, it's me! If you guys give me a hand we still have time."

Yamamoto caught up to Ben at this point, and saw that the heroes on all sides were calming down before he sighed." Ben, I give you credit, with how much the fires of hate were burning among these lads I figured it was impossible for them to see eye to eye."

Ben smirked before giving an thumbs up to the Enji Master." I may not have the Trans-Am burst from the 00 Raiser to directly link people's hearts but, I still wanted to be able to get people to see eye to eye, to mend bridges and all that jazz. After all, that's also what a hero does to lead to a better tomorrow right? No matter what gets thrown my way, I always take being a hero seriously. Well guys, don't want to be pushy but we better help the others while there is still time right?"

Ben was relieved to see that Superman, Iron Man, Batman, Captain America, and even Cyclops, Jean, and some Inhumans express various forms of agreement. But before they could start to move out a woman from above cut in with a cold," Do you think your devotion to your path proves your strength, Ben Auro? I think not. I think it proves your simply in denial, that you're a man coming to the end of himself."

The Enji Knight tensed up as he saw Yabbat suddenly descend into the throne room. Ben saw the others look confused before he just had the Star Sword shimmer with energy as he pointed it at the snowy skinned woman." You know, all you seem to do is talk about how superior you are while everything else is pointless."

"You act like you know me, when this is the first time we had a dialogue." The Black Swan uttered as she tilted her head to the side"

"Er…let's say I know the type. For one, I just saw two other swans harp the same nihilistic stuff back where my friends are. Your master may have created you to worship him, but no matter how much of history you can recreate, you don't really know much about anything! You don't know what it truly means to be a hero, so you don't understand the depths of our resolve when you push us hard enough!"

"You will understand, you pathetic stupid man, just how wrong you are! Rabum Alal is coming for everything. And when you understand what he is…when you understand who he is… You'll know that I was right, and you were so completely wrong about what truly matters. Ana Simtim Alaku. You will die, thinking of me, thinking that everything you striven for in your lives was in vain. Because the truth is none of your heroics matter, everything dies. Everything, but the eternal!"

Captain America glared at the Black Swan before spitting out," Lady, if you think we were going to beg for your master's mercy then keep dreaming! The kid's right, we may have our differences but hero's don't cower in the face of evil's fury! Does not matter how powerful he is, we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the entire world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - "No, YOU move."

Ben saw all the groups of heroes were surrounding the Black Swan before he grinned." Seems like no one's going to by your sells pitch lady. So, unless your fanatical enough to think you can take on everyone here by yourself you…wait, last time I said that the others summoned a, oh god no!"

Yabbat had her eyes glow purple before energy swirled around her."

"It's my role to oversee Battle World, Ben Auro. Make no mistake, the Great Wheel can turn right through every one of you effortlessly. However, it's the will of my master that the game finishes without his direct intervention. Thus, I retrieved the one that seemed best suited to serve the Master. End this game, and prove you are truly the strongest of them all, Superboy Prime."

A spark of energy flew out of her hand, before it erupted to form a purple vortex, one that had a man fly out of. Before anyone could see clearly a snide voice eagerly shouted out," I'm back losers!"

Ben braced himself as he saw Superboy Prime fly out of the portal. He and the others saw he looked a little older, and now was clad in purple and black armor. He also noticed that on the upper right part of his armor he had the same broken infinity sigh that Sigma had. Barry saw Prime and had his jaw drop." No, he escaped the Speed Force? Impossible!"

Prime had his eyes glow red before he seethed out," No matter how bad it is I always get out of a jam! Because that's what the ultimate hero does! Now, your all going to pay for what you did to me!"

Superman winced before he flew above his deranged younger counterpart." Superboy, this is your last chance to wake up! If you care as much as you say you do about being a hero, then you will stop this insanity!"

Prime just laughed madly before retorting with a wild,"The only thing that's nuts is me ever thinking you guys were real hero's! I tricked myself to thinking most of you were as good as hero's as me! But then I saw how weak so many of you were, how many times you did bad things because you were weak, so many times that you failed, that your all nothing but fake hero's!

A hero does not kill bad guys, but fake, dark, corrupted liars deserve the worst! I won't let you fakers stop me, I'm going to kill you all so I can make things as they should be! A world, a universe that's protected by the real superman, the perfect world!"

Superman steeled himself before retorting with a sharp," Now I know that we will never reach an understanding, because if you cared at all about being a real hero then you would know the perfect world would not need a Superman!"

"Hah, like hell it does not need me! People love worshiping their champions, and I'll be the invincible champion that will be loved by everyone! Everyone that's good at least! That's right, the hero will set everyone straight, because no one that's not stupid will go against the ultimate hero!"

Ben got angry before he powered up again." Forcing everyone to bend to your will is what a villain does, not a hero! The more you force your will on everyone the harder they resist! Not that one should do nothing, great power comes great responsibility and all. But, if you care about what the people your protecting feel then you will try and work with them!"

"Big talk from a two-faced loser like you! You're not strong enough to stop me Ben Auro! For acting like you can tell me what to do I'm going to kill you with your own sword!"

"Even if I can't over power you, I will stop you! Because beating impossible odds is what a true hero does!"

Prime seethed with rage as his eyes glowed even more red, and a purple aura blazed around his body.

"But you're not a hero, I'm the only hero! And I'll kill every one of you till I'm the only one left so no one dares to get confused again!"

Author Notes: In case your confused I did not bring Sigma back from super death, the Black Swans merely infused Trinity with the memories and powers of Sigma, like she is emulating Sigma, in many ways like the robots that had the Copy Chips of Sigma were in X8 before fighting the real one.

I based Sigma's state currently off of the rumored merged form with Ultron that he seems to will have in Marvel VS Capcom 4, guess I won't know how on the mark I was on but I hope I won't be to far off how it turns out, just hope they don't lie about the game having a legit story mode again. Still, huzzah for the X love lol.

And a update on that, after playing the game, I'm keen on my version because I was rather not fond of Ultrion-Sigma mostly being Ultron with, Sigma's cape and sword, sigh, damn it Marvel/Disney.

Also, the symbol Sigma and Super Boy Prime both got were the super-villain power up the bad guys in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 got from Towa.

Ah yes, I know I had a lot of super hero fighting the past few chapters, I suppose its my take at how the past decade in Marvel the hero's seem to fight each other more then they fight bad guys. Also, I may have been a tad harsh on the Inhumans but, frankly I been disgusted at how badly Marvel/ Disney has been treating the X-Men the past few years.

I know they are bitter that Fox has the X-men rights but, from X-men VS Avengers to the recent X-Men VS Inhumans, ruining one X-Men after another and recon after recon to make them look worst and worst is just, asinine. For god sake they make the X-men look like the bad guys when the Inhumans are the ones poisoning them all to a slow death just because the Inhumans won't let their rituals be interfered with, sigh.

I mean for god sake Black Bolt in the Infinity event more or less did what Magneto tried to do in the first X men movie, he forced people all over the world to forcefully become Inhumans, even Thanos's son. ( That's a long train wreck of a story in itself) All for the pride of the Inhumans and suffered no real penalty for it. Meanwhile Cyclops just tried to stop Mutants from being exterminated and got called Hitler for it, the amount of bias is out right disgusting really and hope they snap out of it.

Also, hopefully the last part did not feel to forced but, I did not like how in the final part of the Incursion event Iron Man and Captain America had become so petty they cared more about settling the score even as the universe was ending, just felt, even if they felt bitter they were suppose to still be hero's for decades, that's just me.

I know some argue that they wanted to show things had been so gotten that Cap had become broken and in a situation that he could not win could only lash out at everything he worked for being a lie but, still thought it felt forced at times and that they did not even try to reach a common ground.

Anyway, hope you all like how this has unfolded, till next time.
