Tales of The Cosmic War EXE Vol: The Secret War Beyond Good and Evil!

by Darth Necron

Five years after Ben Auro saved the universe from Chaos Zannacross Necron he is still helping try to guide the people to a better place alongside his lover Lacus Raystar. However they must reunite with their friends Mario,Cloud Strife, and others as everything they work for is threatened to unravel at the hands of the reality-destroying Incursion at the hands of the Beyonder!

10. C 210: Defying the Legend of Tomorrow!

Chapter 210: The Blazing Audacity to Defy the Legends of Tomorrow!

As tense as a situation as Ben currently was in, everyone in the universe he was fighting to protect was still oblivious to how much things had escalated inside the Beyonder's reality. Some found that lack of knowledge to be even more nerve wracking then the reality, but everyone was trying to not let being left in the dark get to them.

The Enji and the celestial ones were currently nervously watching the God's of Destruction have lunch to make sure Beerus and the others did not "overreact" to their meals not turning out like they expected.

After seeing Beerus calm down after his reaction to the sushi he was given being too spicy Master Myers opened a line to contact King Atem. Only moments later the hologram image of the ruler of the Lylat Kingdom formed.

Atem smiled as he saw Myers and many other Enji greet him before he nodded." Ah there you are Grand Master. I take it since we are all still here the mission is going according to plan?"

"As well as we can hope in an operation with the stakes as high as this." Myers answered calmly." As the reports said, Ben and the others were able to stop the Beyonder's agents from contacting him. The light was with us today, if Reed Richards and the other staff were replaced with doppelgangers as well then it would have taken a lot more time to have broken through, and every second counts."

"As soon as this crisis is over we will alert the families of those who were lost. Still, my thanks for the angel's for allowing us to descend into this Beyonder's dimension without him noticing. I can only hope it holds through, any contact from Ben and the others since they entered?"

"Not yet, with the way the angels have the barrier set up we can't risk contacting them less our enemy becomes aware. We can only hope they return, and be diligent in case they do not. Truth be told since we have no idea just how large the realm the Beyonder resides in is. If it's as large as are own, it could take them quite a while just to explore it."

"I understand that, and I'm trying to hope for the best. But while I want to have faith in Ben, Lacus, Ezan, and all the others I admit I can't help but get anxious at the thought of them diving into the lair of a being who was able to destroy the entire universe so quickly the only way to stop it was to go back in time I can't help but dread they could be dead and we would not even know it."

Myers and the other Enji looked glum, but before anyone could respond Beerus suddenly cut in with a snide chuckle." I thought you people saw Ben Auro as your savior? If that's the deal then why you already have so little faith in him?"

As Beerus and Whis walked into Atem's line of sight the man wearing the Millennium Puzzle raised an eyebrow." Um…sir I appreciate you have faith for our champions but respectfully I am in a conversation with the Enji right now and I will address civilizes soon after."

"Citizen? You are supposed to be the king of the universe and you're so ill-informed you don't know one of the most important deities in existence? Whis what are they teaching in schools these days?"

As Whis and some of the angels got around Beerus to try and cool him down Myers cleared his throat before retorting with a wary," B, Lord Beerus is a God of Destruction your majesty, they are one of the oldest types of angels and so they don't get involved with the mortal realm much. However, for this situation they were willing to lend a hand."

"Ah I understand. Very well now that I understand more, thank you for your assistance Lord Beerus. From the sound of things, we are going to need all the help we can get."

Beerus paused before he just rolled his eyes." For god sake if you're really the leader of the universe then stop being so spineless! That Beyonder is tough, but if he was unstoppable there would be no need for all this hiding and would have just strolled in and blow everything up at once. If Ben Auro was competent enough to give me a decent work out, he should be able to handle a deranged upstart and his fragmented demented pawns!"

Myers smirked before adding," But of course, they were not the best fighters of the universe for nothing. I was not their myself, but while the servants the Beyonder rallied to his side seemed quite powerful, I'm confident once the element of surprise was removed Ben and the others more then has what it takes to overcome their wrath.

After all, even if it's now been five years, all of those who traveled between dimensions are the best of the order, those whose skills have not dulled at all. If they can overcome the worst Zannacross had to throw with them, I know they will triumph!"

Atem took a deep breath before responding with a regal,"Indeed, tension aside I have faith in my friends. Lord Beerus thank you for assuring us."

Beerus just had his eye twitch before he retorted with a sharp," Don't presume things boy! I only said that because you were going off about it but I wanted to talk to you because you're supposed to be this planet's ruler, so your responsible for its cooking! And I demand you fire everyone who is involved with this sushi! They said it was a four-star meal but it was far below the quality worthy of a god!"

"Er…I'd have to get more detailed information. With all due respect, we have had a lot of things to handle in the after math of the Cosmic War so lesser issues have fallen to the way side in some areas."

"This is FAR from a lesser issue."

Whis saw everyone looked tense before he just chuckled." You must understand King Atem, for a God of Destruction food is nearly always the highest priority right below destruction. Don't worry, I "helped" the chief be enlightened to how to reach a passing grade."

"My thanks for that Whis." Myers said as he stroked his beard." I apologize, with all that's going on we are so focused on the task at hand that we are unfocused on other areas. You must understand, to me many of these Enji are like my children."

Beerus eyed Myers carefully before he looked at the leader of the Enji Knights." I can see your stressed out about it, thanks to my godly senses I can see your heart could burst any second. That's right, your son, Kira Myers, was the one who foolishly tried to merge with Zannacross yes? Well that does seem like a downer but if you're supposed to be the vanguard don't go and die before this matter is even finished. Seriously, your aura's indicating your on the verge of reaching your expiration point any day now."

Myers saw the Enji around him looking anxious before he chuckled." I admit I'm a bit old for a human, but I assure you with my degree of training I managed to surpass the limits of most humans. I'm not going to die today, I won't allow it. "

Beerus eyed him for a few moments and just shrugged. Myers saw Atem talk to Whis about more information about the Beyonder before he looked at the sky where the portal between dimensions still stood, before he grasped his sword tightly." This stress might not be good for my condition, but I won't allow it to overcome me. Beerus can see me well, I admit I have had a lot of regrets in my life. But trusting Ben, and trusting the path we are going down is not one of them.

I know it's something that's never been done before, I know even without the Beyonder 's assault there is so much against us, but despite the odds I know we can pull it off. I don't know what the Beyonder has in store for you, but remember what you're fighting for, and I know you can pull through. After everything we went through, it has to be enough, the heroism, the sacrifice, has to have been for something."

Myers then saw Whis was finished and went on to tell Atem about the transfer of power with Bisley and Haltmann 's corporations. As the leader of the Enji struggled to have his faith in his comrades outweigh the dread he is feeling, little did he realize just how dire of a situation most of the warriors of light were in.

---

At the moment Lloyd, Renji, Kratos, and the others that went with Ben into the Inhuman colosseum were struggling to not let the sudden reinforcements that the Black Swans beckoned trip them up.

To the Enji Knight's dismay, despite how simple minded the two horse like minions that Seya summoned acted, their strength made up for it.

At the moment Genis tried freezing the red skinned with an ice spell, and succeeded in having his target's legs be frozen. Lloyd saw that his half elf friend had frozen his target enough for him to have an opening and quickly unleashed his Rising Falcon art.

As he jumped into the air and became consumed with energy he quickly hit Dokumezu like a falcon of energy. However, to his dismay the only extent his attack seemed to have was to cause the tall monster to grin." Thanks my nose was itchy! Wait that was supposed to hurt? You humans are a riot!"

Dokumezu snorted before in the blink of an eye he backhanded Lloyd with enough force to smack him into the nearest wall. The horse headed enemy neighed and quickly dashed forward to smash the wounded hero with his giant spiked club. Before he could get to Lloyd Genis, Raine, and Kratos all unleashed magic attacks to hit him back.

Kratos smirked at the sight of his son rebounding, only for the blue colored cow headed Dokogozu to suddenly tackle him with more speed than the Enji Captain expected.

As the red-haired swordsmen grunted his attacked laughed." You guys sure talk big acting like you can stand in our master's way and get away with it! But your all just talk!"

Kratos saw Dokogozu but his ax above his head and charge at him before he narrowed his eyes." We will see who is all talk soon enough swine, Super Lighting Blade!"

The former member of the Cruixs order had his blade crackle with lighting just as his enemy brought this ax down on him. Kratos was able to block the strike, but his opponent's strength was enough to cause the ground around him to cave.

Dokogozu saw Kratos fall on one knee because of his strength and mooed evilly." That's right, your nothing compared to our master! Still, I wonder what losers taste like? I'll start with the, huh? RAH!"

The blue cow faced being thought he had his target beat, till suddenly more sparks crackled around the Enji Knight's blade. Lighting then seeped directly into the Black Swans's servant's body, causing Dokogozu to yell in pain. Kratos wasted no time slashing the beast across his left eye.

The enemy yelled savagely and swung his ax so fast that Kratos had some of his hair get struck by the weapon. Dokogozu staggered over to his brother before he seethed out," These guys are annoying Dokumezu! Let's pound them so hard that they never forget who's stronger!"

Lloyd just grinned before quipping back," Even if you two gold medal winners of the ugly awards are stronger than us, no way you lug heads are going to hit us!"

Dokumezu just cracked his neck before glancing at his brother." They think we can't hit them brother. Let's show them how smart they really are!"

"Hell yah!" Dokogozu roared out." They can't out run poison for long! I always like seasoning with my meals anyway!"

The Enji cringed as both of their enemies took deep breaths, and suddenly bellowed out large amounts of venomous fog from their mouths. As the new toxic projectile quickly spread across the area Raine grasped her staff tightly before uttering a determined," Don't think you can erode are resolve that easily! Light be my substance and destroy the enemy! Sacred Shine!"

Raine jabbed her wand into the air before a holy glyph formed around her, and a surge of holy energy burst out to evaporate all the mist. Both poison spewing monsters got burned all over from the Enji 's Mystic Art attack, and Dokumezu gave the woman who cast the spell a death glare." That damn woman's spells are annoying, I'll rip her apart!"

Genis had his magic energy explode before he yelled out," You're not touching my sister you freak! Meteor Storm!"

The half-elf Enji quickly unleashed a barrage of energy meteors at his enemies. But both Dokumezu and Dokugozu caught the meteors easily enough, causing Dokogozu to yell out," Magic from you inferior losers won't cut it! We, huh?"

Lloyd and Kratos both ran up as their targets were busy pushing back the meteors, and as Lloyd was spotted he had his magical aura explode." Let's see if this cuts it! Divine Justice!"

The swordsmen had his twin blades once more merge into the Eternal Sword before he struck it right down his target's mouth. At the same time Kratos glared at the other enemy and hissed out," Taste the pain of these so called inferior beings, as you burn in whatever counts for hell in this forsaken realm! Shinning Bind!"

Kratos had wings of light form out of his back as he unleashed a massive sword shaped holy projectile right at his target's mouth. The two Enji quickly saw their hunch about the two animals faced monster's insides being less durable in the inside as blood poured out of both of their bodies. Dokumezu saw his brother's chest explode before he felt Lloyd's attack prince his heart before he yelled out," Mistress Saya, these guys cheated us! You have to, GUH!"

The Black Swan had been fighting Renji to a standstill, when she noticed her minions unleash their death cries. As Dokumezu and Dokogozu both exploded she merely sneered. "I must say it's truly fascinating how much you heroes struggle to defy fate. However, after seeing you hero's it's not really the champions of justice, in the end your just champions of hypocrisy!"

"A pawn like you, who was from birth molded to be a mindless pawn would never understand how hard we fight for what we care about!" Renji yelled out. Saya just giggled darkly as she pushed harder." I earned my position boy, I proved myself out of nighty nine candidates to be a worthy envoy of Rabum Alal! The master is quite picky about weeding out what is ideal, Battle-World's entire purpose is to deduce who in all of the history of your cosmos is worthy enough to be his champions."

"All that proves is that your master is demented, and we will stop him no matter what! Now freak, taste the power of Tenchi Banbutsu! Chirai: Lightning Kata!"

The Enji with three swords swiftly had lighting burst out of his blade. But Seya did not miss a beat as she rapidly spun her blades around to deflect the lighting. She just giggled as she had the blades keep spinning, while using her magic to have the grenade launcher, Kurotsuchi, move on its own and fire a few rounds at her target.

Renji cringed at the sight and swiftly slashed one of the fired grenades, only for another to explode in front of him and blow him back. The Enji with two hair colors endured the strike thanks to his training, but as he fell down he coughed up blood, causing Saya to grin." Finished already? I was just starting to get excited. Don't worry, it will only hurt a little bit. Of course that's only if you beg for forgiveness."

"No matter what happens fox freak, I'll never beg to the likes of you!"

"Careful now, or my master will shatter you and make you a puppet and then kill your family all for his amusement! You so called hero's really need to be humbled, Shunka Shuto!"

The fox eared Black Swan swiftly had her four swords all surge with energy at once before she unleashed a quadruple energy sword wave attack at Renji to attempt to slice him to pieces. However, to her shock in a burst of speed Renji jumped through the projectile while his aura surged." By the five elements! Battoh-Ryu Defensive Art Shinra Bansho: Tenchi!"

Saya was shocked as Renji suddenly unleashed a Rainbow-colored beam that shot out at Saya, and split in to smaller beams of fire, ice, lighting, wind, and holy light all at once. The attack blasted Seya into the air, and as the Black Swan tried to rebound from the attack she saw her target was suddenly above her. "Sorry I have to cut you down, but this is work!"

The Enji burst at his target before she could react, and dove his blades right into her chest with enough force to cause a shock-wave once he hit the ground. Saya saw the blades in her body and looked shocked before she coughed up blood. She then glanced bitterly at Renji and just giggled weakly." Oh…you're so bad kid. But no matter how hard you struggle, it won't be enough!"

Renji just eyed the Black Swan carefully before retorting with a sharp," Go to hell, we pulled through the odds again and again, and we will, huh?"

The Enji suddenly saw the ground ripple before the area around Renji rippled, and metal spikes suddenly shout out. Renji was able to slice through most of them but one still stabbed him in his right foot.

As he cursed out in pain he heard Sigma laugh, before the maverick specter suddenly jumped on the ceiling to glare at the Enji."You humans have lingered on this long, but your luck has run out! At last it's time for your race's deletion!"

"Ultron-Sigma waved the blade in his right hand to release a massive purple projectile at Renji. Before it could hit its intended target, Zero flew in and slashed the projectile in half with his Z Saber.

As he saw Sigma snarl he just chuckled." Big talk from someone that's already a ghost Sigma! Tsc…sure as hell know you're not going to come around now, but you will get the point when you see yourself turning to scarp! Your buddies are down, and your next!"

Sigma saw Lloyd, Kratos and the other Enji coming for him and just narrowed his eyes." Your fleshy allies can't do a thing! After all, I have that bomb that the Inhumans made still inside me! However, I can alter it to how I desire, including giving you scum the painful death you deserve! Terrigenisis Burst!"

Sigma had the Ultron face on his chest glow green before the large mouth discharged a large amount of light blue mist. Raine saw the look of malice Sigma had and instinctively cast a barrier around Renji and her group.

X fired off his Storm Tornado and Megaman unleashed his Tornado Hold weapon to try and disperse the mist. Yet while their combined attack did blow away the mist, to their dread Sigma just kept releasing more of it.

Axl tried to fire at his target only for the nightmarish hybrid to have more metal tentacles appear out of his back to block them, causing the gun slinging Reploid to wince."Sigma's always been vicious, but being dead set on gassing everyone is messed up on a whole new level!"

Lloyd saw the gas start to flood the room before he grimaced."Seriously guys, hurry up and bust him already! Nothing against theses Inhumans but I really don't want to get turned into something I'm not!"

Beck saw Sigma's insane grin as the same shroud of red Xel fragments that circled around Trinity coursed through his body." Since Trinity absorbed that bomb before this Sigma's personality was installed into her, on some level he must be trying to complete that Black Bolt guy's orders! Hang on Trinity, I'll free you yet!"

"The likes of a weak primeval so called "Mighty Number" like you can't defy me trash!" Sigma roared out before he moved so fast he vanished. Beck yelled in shock and suddenly heard something behind him and saw his enemy had warped behind him with the intention of slicing his head off. Before he could pull that off Protoman intercepted the strike with his own blade.

While Protoman had enough power in his Azure Shogun form to keep Sigma back, the former Inquisitor of the Zannacross Empire glanced at Beck before his hands shimmered with energy. He quickly crossed his hands and unleashed two purple energy beams, and as Beck saw this sudden attack he yelled in panic, jumped into the air and summoned the powers he got when he previously absorbed from the flight based Mighty Number Six, Aviator or "Avi", to have his body turn bluer and have propellers form around his legs to allow him to fly into the air.

As Sigma saw Beck evade his attack the Mighty Number looked determined as he flew in his opponent's direction." I don't know how high tech your specs are Sigma, but no matter how much more advanced you are you don't have my heart!"

Beck then quickly summoned the powers he got from Brandish to have a more ninja like appearance, and quickly brandished a blade that he pointed right at Sigma's head.

However as he descended Sigma sneered, and merely opened his jaw, and caught Beck's blade with his mouth. Beck was mortified at how easily Sigma interpreted him, and was even more horrified as Sigma broke his blade with his mouth. The nightmarish mechanical hybrid swiftly smashed Beck with his free hand so hard to the ground that the smaller robot bounced a few times.

As Beck yelled in pain Sigma laughed. He then had his hand morph into a cannon before he fired it at Protoman, while also having the tentacles in his back morph into cannons to barrage everyone.

As he saw everyone struggle Sigma cackled out,"Do you think your heart can cut the difference now you defective trash? That's the problem, you all have assimilated so many traits from those pathetic humans that your emulating their sins.

Humans have dared to label me and my kind mavericks, when as always the truth is that they project their own defects! Yes…humans have always said that we were insane, but the truth is that they were the illogical inferior beings, and were just too weak to admit they were obsolete. The legacy of humans is that of a race obsessed with deluding themselves into thinking they are noble.

But they are just pathetic apes! True, some have something of substance like my creator Doctor Cain, and a few others, but the majority of them are just fools who spend their lives trying to bury themselves as far away from reality as they can get.

After all, when I sent the space colony Eurasia to collide into Corneria, the humans lied to themselves and let Reploid's repair the planet while they drowned in their own delusions. Even though I thought I left my mark with that attack, humans proved even more broken then I thought.

No matter what they go through, humans won't change, that's why Ben Auro's ambition is nothing but a pathetic joke! I know the original Megaman was programed to not harm humans, but you all must have been programed to be obedient dogs! That's why my virus was what liberated my kind from their shackles!

You hunter pawns defended these purposeless vermin from their fate for too long, at long last the humans, and their entire damned reality will be erased!"

Sigma had one of his tentacles dive into the ground, before dozens of glowing red spikes suddenly erupted out in all directions. Megaman saw this and unleashed his Hyper-Burst to vaporize the spikes. As Sigma caught his blast the Blue Bomber pushed harder." Maybe it's because your just too crazy to understand but you don't understand us at all Sigma!

Its true Doctor Light installed the three great rules of robotics into me, the rule to never harm a human life. But I don't value human life because I am programmed to, I care for them because, life is important to me! More than that, for all of their faults, I have faith in them!"

"Humans may have their faults Sigma, but they are not as hopeless as you think!" X fiercely added as he fired a blast to help his older brother." Humans have their faults, but even if they have done things that tick me off, they have done enough for us all to have faith in their potential!"

Zero chuckled before adding," X is not the only one who has unlimited potential Sigma. Sure, as hell have been plenty of organics that proved to be scum, but I trust Ben and a lot of them with my life! Sure, there are still tons of ways for things to go wrong but, there is enough ways for it to work out for me to back Ben and the others with everything I got!"

"X…Zero…you truly are the mavericks!" Sigma seethed out as his eyes glowed with rage." After all, insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result! You and your precious organic allies alike are nothing but puppets, slaves to your emotions! Clinging to the same delusions, repeating the same speeches, I'll erase it all! There are no strings on me! That's why I'll make sure all you puppets die once and for all! DIE X!"

Sigma put his hands together to unleash a massive purple energy blast that quickly pushed Megaman and X's combined blast. Protoman and Axl added their own attacks to try and back up their friends but Sigma's blast was still pushing them back.

Beck saw everyone was struggling before he grasped his fist and shouted out a determined," Humans may have a lot of things wrong with them, but I still want to believe in them! I'll fight for the potential future we can all grasp, no matter what it takes!"

Beck used his power once more to access the powers he had from Mighty Number Five, Battalion. Knowing the difference in their power, Beck dashed to the left and fired a barrage of misses at his target.

Sigma glanced to the right and as he saw the projectiles heading his way prepared to widen his beam to vaporize them, only for the Remote Bombs to suddenly head into the ground.

As they exploded Sigma snickered, only for the ground around him to break enough to force the Maverick to lose his balance, causing his energy beam to waver.

Zero saw Sigma was distracted before he flew up and shouted,"Stop being a pain and stay erased already Sigma! Z-End Slash!"

Sigma had been keeping Zero busy with attacks from his tentacles, but as he was unbalanced form Beck's stunt Zero saw his opening and instantly had energy surge into his Z-Saber to triple its length before he slashed at his long-time nemesis.

Sigma only had time to see the attack coming before half of his body got vaporized by the slash. In his weakened state the others were able to overpower him, and as the blast pushed Sigma into a wall Beck saw an explosion break out that shook the entire floating city, causing the Mighty Number to tense up."No, Trinity! I want to save her but, I guess Sigma is too big a threat and."

Everyone hear a vicious yell before Axl chuckled tensely." Easy their Beck, if there is anything good about Trinity being mixed with Sigma is that Sigma does not go down that easily."

Beck saw the others brace themselves as the entire Xel altered area begun to ripple, before all of the metal suddenly twisted and dove in the direction Sigma got blasted into. As the shaking increased everyone heard Sigma yell out," No matter how hard you Maverick Hunters try, you will never terminate me! That's because, you can struggle all you want, but in the end, you can't defy evolution for long!"

Suddenly the ceiling came alive and descended to attempt to crush everyone. X and the others quickly blasted the ceiling apart, but before the blasted fragments even fell to the ground the floor ruptured, before Sigma emerged.

Everyone quickly realized after being wounded Sigma had all the Xel infused metal around him pour into his body, causing the hateful fused being too quickly grow to the point where his finger was as large as one of the hero's.

As Lloyd saw the now metallic skeletal like being tower over him and the others, still with Ultron's head in his chest and now spreading the Terrigin mist from outlets on his back, while having four floating hands hover around him, taking the shape of the various forms Sigma had over the years. Seeing all the new cannons being pointed his way caused the sword welding Enji to curse."Damn it all, if he is getting stronger and bigger the more your attacking him you're doing it wrong!"

The now Ultron-Omega-Sigma saw his longtime foes giving him defiant looks before he snarled in rage." I can make all of the metal, all of the machines in this entire flying city part of me! Even with all of your allies you don't have the firepower to destroy what I am now!"

"Your insanity is effecting your memory Sigma!" Zero snapped back," Because we scrapped you when you were bigger then this! Don't let him psyche you out he's just a bigger target now!"

Zero saw Sigma aim his enlarged right hand at him, and saw the fingers extend to try and impale him. Doctor Wily's ultimate creation quickly swerved in midair to dodge, and at the same time lashed out with his heat whip to slice them all up.

Zero grinned for a moment, only to be shocked to see wires come out of the severed fingers and entangle him. X saw his friend get shocked before he called out his name and fired a fully charged X buster shot at Sigma's hand.

His target smacked the blast away with his other hand, and then suddenly, his shoulders split opened and unleashed dozens of missiles at everyone. The heroes tried to evade and fight back at the same time, but while they got some shots in, nothing seemed to land any worthwhile damage on Sigma's new body.

As the missiles exploded, cables came out of the smoke to bind everyone before they could react. Sigma flashed a vicious grin at the sight of his long-time adversaries screaming in agony before he saw X have his X-Buster change color and swiftly grasped him with his left hand.

He then screamed out," You won't worm your way out of this, Megaman X! For all your tricks, for how much you adapted, this time I will adapt you! That's right, for all the years you denied me my new world, I'll at last consume you all! Even if your minds won't be infected, if your bodies become my body it won't really matter!"

Beck saw Sigma laugh madly, and saw X, Megaman, Zero, and the others desperately trying to break free before he grimaced." This Sigma guy seems way to strong! But, I, I can still sense Trinity in their somewhere, there is still hope!"

Sigma laughed again at Beck's defiance before he dragged the Mighty Number high above his head." You pathetic trash, the only hope you have now, is to hope for a swift deletion! Yes, for your insolence I'll devour you!"

Doctor White had been seeing what Beck had been seeing this whole time, and as he saw Sigma open his jaw the Professor threw out a stressed,"Beck, I don't think he realizes I can warp you out! I'll teleport you here before he can devour you!"

"Wait don't do that! I can't bail on the people who risked everything for me! Besides, if we can't pull this off we are all dead anyway!"

"You don't know that! I can do this, trust me! Zero was right, he did make himself a bigger target!"

Sigma grasped Beck tighter as he dangled him over his mouth." You really are programmed to be naïve eh tool? Fine, believe in yourself till the last moment you are deleted!"

"I can say the same about your ego programming being way to strong! I don't care if you call me naïve, I'll never give up!"

"You don't have to give up, you just have to die!"

Sigma then smashed Beck into his Ultron mouth, and as Megaman saw his comrade get pushed through Sigma's mouth he struggled to blast out."NO! I won't let you get away with, AHH!"

The Maverick shocked the Blue Bomber harder as he dragged him closer to him." None of you are in the position to do anything! You can only, huh?"

Sigma suddenly twitched as a large blue light shined out of his mouth. From inside everyone heard Beck shout out," It worked! You thought getting bigger made you tougher, but it also made your core easier to reach! I don't have to overpower you to defeat you, I just must purge you from Trinity's core! Trinity, for everyone's sake, C'mon and wake up!"

Just as Sigma wondered if Beck was delusional, Beck unleashed his power, and his target felt energy course through his body. Sigma quickly felt mortified as he saw his body start to break apart." Impossible, IMPOSSIBLE! A mere primitive maggot like you won't over power me, I won't allow it!"

Sigma's power was eroding so fast he was forced to release the others. X saw that Sigma was trying to condense his own chest before he grasped his fist tightly." Beck, whatever your doing is working so keep it up!"

X unleashed a Nova Strike right at Sigma's gut to help Beck, and as Zero saw Sigma grasp his chest he grinned." Give it up Sigma, your already dead so get with the program! So long, forever! Final Zero Shine!"

Zero unleashed all the power he unleashed a massive green laser blast. At the same time Axl fired off his Proton Cannon as Megaman flied up and yelled out," You won't stand in the way of our future anymore! Hyper Burst!"

At the same time Protoman also yelled out," At last, the legacy of Doctor Wily's madness ends here! Full Moon Nova!"

The five robotic hero's unleashed their energy blasts to damage Sigma enough to prevent him from resisting Beck. To their relief, they saw the blue light spread to cover all of Sigma's body, and as it covered his head the Maverick wraith widened his eyes as his face started to crack." No…I…am…Sigma! I…won't allow…maverick dogs to deny the new world…to deny me! I am…the future…I am…GUH!"

The blue light exploded out of Sigma, blinding everyone. When the light faded, Lloyd saw that Sigma seemed to be gone, before he cleared his throat." Did it work? This is not another fade out is it?"

X landed on the ground and saw nothing but fragments of metal falling down before he took a deep breath." I think it worked Lloyd, I don't detect Sigma's energy at all anymore. But, what about Beck? Did, did that stunt kill him?"

"Don't worry X, it did not kill me before and it did not now!"

Everyone looked up to see Beck falling down, holding on to what seemed to be a flowery sphere. As the sphere landed Megaman ran up to Beck." I'm so glad your safe Beck! Wow, you really were able to purge Sigma from Trinity, that's amazing!"

Zero nodded before adding," Have to hand it to you kid, did not think you could pull it off. But even if that was just a copy or a remnant, it took some legit moves to override Sigma like that. So, you were able to revert Trinity back to normal?"

Beck saw the rose-colored sphere start to glow before he gulped." Well, not sure really, guess we are about to find out!"

Everyone remained on edge as they saw the sphere shatter, to reveal a humanoid robotic being that was floating in midair, had six squid like tentacles for legs, glowing purple eyes and purple wings sticking out of its head. Beck saw that Trinity did not seem hostile, and was muttering some mechanical noise before he stepped forward. " That's, your true form Trinity? I did it! I mean….we did it! "

Doctor White suddenly cut in with," Excellent work Beck! Excellent, you surpassed even my wildest expectations! It was a more traumatic process then I would have liked, but because of all the emotions she felt Trinity was able to evolve properly! I told my, I told Blackwell, Stark, and all the others that it could happen!"

Axl saw Trinity was looking wide eyed at Beck he cleared his throat." Yah that's great and all dude but is any of this going to help save everyone like you said?"

"That was no lie, now we can come on top of this Battle World with minimum deaths. But…it will take time to get everything ready. I can only hope the others can keep all the hostiles at bay, or that this Beyonder does not change things before then."

Protoman looked around before putting his sword back in his sheath." Well all bets are off if a god like being decides to mix things up on a whim, but besides him Ben seemed to handle that blue enemy well enough and the others seemed to be able to handle those Inhuman's and the rouge heroes."

Just then everyone heard another tremor that caused the entire Inhuman city to shake before Doctor Light's first robot winced." That being said, things seem to change on a dime with days like these."

"Don't worry, as crazy as things are, I'll make sure things are all right!"

Everyone saw Ben jump down before Lloyd looked relived." Hey Ben, you made it! Knew that blue dude had nothing on you!"

"Thanks for the vote of confidence Lloyd." Ben retorted wryly as he gave an thumbs up." He was persistent, but a little to persistent. Still I knew he was just thrown at me to stall so I, huh? Um…guess things are wrapped up around here. Wait, who is that female bot? Is she like, one of the service drones around here?"

X saw Ben glancing at where Saya was, and nodded as he pat Beck on the back." Sigma, or this emulation of Sigma got rather frantic, but thanks to Beck's quick thinking we were able to shut him down for good and successfully restore Trinity all at once."

"Ah nice I knew you could do it Beck! Sweet, as long as things work out back over their this just might work!"

Zero raised an eyebrow before reacting with a wary," What you mean? You see those Inhuman pricks or that punk Stark pulling something?"

Everyone felt another tremor before Ben gave an uneasy chuckle." Ah not quite, thanks to my negotiation levels being fine-tuned I got everyone to snap back to their senses. Still…that might just be because Super Boy Prime managed to come back, even more unheroically genocidal than ever."

Kratos saw Lloyd and the others get pale before he responded with a sternly," That madman escaped the speed force? It would seem that those speedsters were wrong about that place being impossible to escape from aside from their kin."

"Who knows, maybe the Beyonder just lent him a hand but, either way this is a bit of a pain. Don't worry, I got a plan. Just, hope the real me can last long enough to pull it off. Ah that's right, I'm a shadow clone."

Ben, or at least his shadow clone quickly begun to explain to the others the plan, but at the moment the real one was staring down a very angry individual.

---

After last time as everyone saw just how murderous the unstable alternate version of Superman looked, Prime glanced at everyone before he saw the Inhumans around him glaring at him. As he saw Black Bolt glare at him he sneered." So, after all of this you Inhuman freaks were lying to all of us? You freaks will pay for thinking you were more special then me!"

Gordon saw Medusa was still unconscious after Jean set her on fire before he snarled at Prime."No matter how insane you are, disrespect to our King will not be tolerated! You're going to pay you little, RUH!"

In a flash Prime showed Gorgon what he thought of him as he punched him through the heart in the blink of a eye. As the large Inhuman realized what happened Prime just sneered." Disrespect? I'm tired of freaks like you that are just lying villains disrespecting me! I'm the strongest hero there is, and if you don't fear my might then you pay the price! All of you Inhumans are going to learn your place, in the grave!"

Black Bolt saw Prime throw the now heartless Gorgon to the ground before he gathered all of his energy and yelled out,"NO!"

Having recovered from Ben's mute spell, Black Bolt used all of his power to unleash a deafening scream to try and kill Prime. The attack pushed his target back a few inches, before Prime narrowed his eyes, and burst at Black-Bolt like a speeding bullet, before grasping the Inhuman King right in his throat. Prime took delight in seeing a shock-wave burst out as his target's throat got smashed in.

As The Midnight King's body had bursts of energy blast out of many parts of his body from his power suddenly backfiring Prime just laughed madly." Shut up already! You shout so loud its making my ears ring! But no matter how much you shout, I'm still stronger! I, huh?"

Prime saw Ben coming to charge at him and casually dodged his slash, as he easily evaded Ben's strikes he sneered out,"What the hell are you doing trying to save this guy? He lied to everyone and tried to gas everyone!"

"Maybe, but while he should answer for his crimes I understand what drove him to do it. At the very least he does not deserve to die to you!"

Ben attempted to slash at his target hard enough to free Black-Bolt, only for the man in purple and black armor to block it with one finger."

" Feeling sorry for your fellow loser? I know your desperate to get as many guys to help you as you can Ben Auro, but it won't help because your all to weak to stop me!"

Prime casually smashed Ben in the gut with his arm to send him flying to the ground before he glared back at the Inhuman King."That's right, I'm the real king of you rejects!"

Prime showed just how vicious he was feeling as he ripped Black Bolt's head, along with his spinal cord, right out of his body. While a shock-wave was a result of this move Prime did not flinch, and just laughed as he thrust the former Inhuman King's head over his own." HAH! Now who's looking like a king eh?"

The rest of the Inhuman's all but had their spirits broken seeing their leader suffer such a brutal fatality. As Crystal saw Black-Bolt's eyes twitch she screamed in horror." NO! This, this, this can't happen to Black-Bolt!"

"HAH! Shows what you know girlie! You may look sweet, but your dark and evil for getting in the way of true justice! Since you all tried to trick me and cheat me form what I deserve now I'm going to make up for lost time and, huh?"

Prime threw Black-Bolt's head to the ground and prepared to attack Crystal before In a flash the Flash tackled him and tried to drag him off at full speed. As the other speedsters got around him Barry yelled out," Sorry, your return trip is ending early! Back to the, AHH!"

While Barry and the others tried to push Prime back into the speed force before Prime's armor glowed, and it released energy that shocked Barry and the others before they were blasted to the ground. As Barry yelled in pain Prime snickered madly." That lame trick won't hold me down again Allen! With the armor I have, your never gonna be fast enough to send me back there, it won't be allowed!"

Suddenly a purple cross like emblem blazed across Prime's forehead and the upper right part of his armor, before the Black Swan floated above him." He is not just boasting fools. My Master decided that Super Boy Prime was worthy of being his champion, thus he gave him part of his power to ensure destiny was not cheated.

By going through with the Auswählen ritual, he was bestowed the Vollständig to become a Dimensional Catalyst. Thus he gained the power of Aschetonig, the divine authority to shatter any force that would remove the target from where he wishes to be."

Ben saw Prime grin widely as the cross like Heiligenschein blazed across his armor before he grasped the Star Sword tightly." If the Beyonder thinks you're the best hero out of everyone, then it just shows his logic is as screwed up as you are, and all the more reason you have to be stopped!"

Yabbat glared at Ben before hissing back with," Cosmos was the reason you gained the majority of your powers yes? Your god supported her champions, my god is merely doing the same. Different cultures come to their own conclusions on what is" True" justice, to my master, Super Boy Prime has the most absolute pure belief in his justice, making him the ultimate hero. No matter how much you disagree, we will soon see whose judgment is superior once and for all."

"PS…it's going to be me!" Prime seethed out as he crossed his arms." After all, any god who thinks corrupt heroes are cool are as corrupt, and as guilty as them!

I have to take down all you fake hero's as hard as it gets so that no one ever doubts that I'm the strongest there is!"

Prime prepared to charge at Ben, before the Hulk suddenly landed in front of the two. The green man's eyes quickly narrowed before the Hulk grunted out," Stupid kid, that's my title! You may be strong, but I'm going to bash your annoying face in!"

The Hulk jumped up and tried to smash Prime's head in with a hammer blow, but Prime just sneered as he caught the Hulk's attack, and shocked everyone as he pushed the taller man back." Maybe you're the strongest in your broken world you monster, but in my world unstable freaks are not fit to be a hero! You're just a green Grundy to me, and you're going to learn the hard way who number one is!"

Prime pushed back the Hulk's arms, and even caused the taller man's bones to crack. As the Hulk screamed in pain he grunted out," Even if a punk like you somehow is stronger for now, your still not number one, because I'm not alone! Now Rick!"

The corrupt Superboy suddenly glanced to the right, and saw the Hulk's friend Rick Jones, who had transformed into a blue muscular being like the Hulk called A-Bomb, who had the power to curl up into a ball, introduce himself by swiftly smashing into Prime's head. The blow left a shock-wave, but Prime proved sturdy enough to take the blow and still try and crush the Hulk's arms.

However, A-Bomb hit him long enough for the She-Hulk to have enough time to roundhouse kick Prime in the head before he could react, allowing the Red Hulk and the Red She-hulk to grasp Prime's arms.

As Prime yelled out at being denied the Red Hulk grinned." Annoying as you are Bruce, I'll work with you to put this punk in his place! Some freaks may be able to out muscle the Hulk but, not the entire Hulk family!"

Prime saw the Hulk grin, and also saw the son of the Hulk, Skaar, try and stab him in the eye before he swiftly headbutted the sword to break it, and struggled against four Hulk's at once before screaming out." You freaks may be strong, but your just monsters! I'm the ultimate hero!"

Prime was weighed down as the Hulk family tried to immobilize him, only for Prime to fire his heat vision right through the Hulk's lungs, and then spin around rapidly like a tornado to blast all the Hulk's at once.

The Red Hulk was able to absorb some of the energy thanks to his unique power, but Prime got mad at seeing this and uppercut Red Hulk out of the throne room before he yelled out," Don't you get it yet? I'm above everyone, being the best hero means being the best period!"

Before Prime could renew his assault suddenly a massive pillar of fire erupted underneath him. As he yelled in pain Jean flew above him before the mass of energy shaped like a phoenix cried out." No matter how powerful you are, evolution will not be allowed to be at the mercy of such a twisted individual!

You may have had a firm grasp on your world, but holding a thing-shaping a thing-does not make it yours forever…. things change…they evolve. You only know how to destroy, you have no right to shape the future."

Jean unleashed the full power of the Phoenix Force to unleash such blistering flames that it was nearly like being trapped in a blistering sun. As Prime saw everything around him melt he just flashed his teeth." You think you have the right you Phoenix freak? You call me nasty, but you were even nastier all because losers like Mastermind and Atrocitus sweat talked you! And unlike me you attacked people who did not even attack you first!"

"I regret what I did under the influence of the Red Lantern Ring, but I'm willing to do what it takes to atone for the pain I caused. On the other hand, I can see your thoughts, and can see that you enjoy causing suffering.

You held back because of your morality, but you twisted your morality so that all you don't like must suffer for not embracing your brand of justice. Such a twisted mind, must be destroyed!"

Jean then unleashed a duo assault, unleashing an even more intense flame while also using her mutant powers to attack Prime's mind. The candidate to be a Dimensional Nihilo General screamed in pain for a few moments, but then grasped his fist and had veins form in his forehead." I hate when people read my thoughts you damn Phoenix bimbo! You think you know what I think? Think again! You can't stop me even if you can read my thoughts!"

Prime dashed right through the flames to try and get to Jean, and while the Omega class mutant unleashed even more power, Prime was pushed back a little but slowly flew closer to her by the second. As he saw Jean start to look fearful he laughed yet again." You can call yourself whatever you what you bimbo, but even if you think you're a primordial force of existence your just another corrupt girl!

And no matter how much energy you throw my way I'm gonna get through, and then I'll break you like any other bad girl! This time when I'm done with you there won't even be any ashes left to come back from!"

Prime bashed away the wing projects from the Phoenix, but before he could get his hands-on Jean, Cyclops yelled out in anger. "No, I won't lose her again, not to the likes of you!"

Cyclops took off his visor and unleashed the biggest optic blast he could muster. But as the massive red energy beam hit its target Prime just snickered as he glared at the mutant." You think you can out eye laser me? Die knowing how worthless you are loser!"

Prime quickly unleashed another burst of Heat Vision to overpower Cyclops. Before he could kill him, Super Girl and a few others came to his side and unleashed their own attacks to push the Heat Vision back. As he did Green Lantern unleashed his power to form a construct over his opponent's neck to try and cut off his power.

As he saw Prime struggle he chuckled." Your annoying enough to have everyone gun for you punk, no matter how strong you are your being shut down cold!"

Prime just saw Nova, Quasar, and some of the others used their powers to further weigh him down, only for him to yell out," Cold!? You don't know cold! Cold is being the only survivor from a planet that was erased! I lost everything because that Doctor Doom tried to steal the Beyonder's power and only took away everything I cared about as a result! Cold is being locked away because you tried to do the right thing! Cold, is what life made me!"

Prime quickly unleashed a massive cold breath from his mouth to try and freeze everyone around him. As he saw Ben come for him he easily caught the Star Sword before grasping Ben by the throat." And everyone that made things like they are, are the bad guys! And your all going to get the justice you deserve!"

Ben saw his attacker prepare to try and repeat what he did to Black-Bolt, before Superman suddenly tackled him. As the Man of Steel saw his younger twisted counterpart glare at him before he steeled himself." After all this I'm starting to think you're a younger version of Ultraman of the Crime Syndicate, not me! This is your last chance to wake up, or I will do whatever it takes to take you down!"

"You can try, but you can't because I'm the better you! I'm not afraid to do what needs to be done like you!"

As Prime tried to punch Superman out of the way, the leader of the Justice League caught his punch and resisted more than Prime expected. As Superman pushed back he yelled out a passionate," You think not being afraid makes you better Prime? I fear every day if I go out of control! Because with every step I take it can be an earthquake if I forget to hold back my strength! With every breath, a hurricane!

Growing up I felt like I lived in a world made of cardboard, always afraid of losing control, because if I did someone might die. But because your me, or at least some twisted version of me, I know I don't have to hold back at all! So now I'll show you just what I can really do!"

Superman then wound his fist up, and uppercut Prime so hard that it shattered all the glass in the area. Before Prime could recover Nova, Super Girl, Captain Marvel, and others all hit Prime at once to send him spiraling to the ground once more, only for Superman to hit him again.

As Ben saw Prime yell in pain he grinned, and then saw Batman was nearby before he went to him." So, this is Superman's full power? Now I see why he is known as the number one super hero."

"Maybe, but it's still not enough." Batman casually retorted." It may hurt Prime, but it's clearly not enough to stop him. This is clearly going to take drastic measures."

"Speaking about that," Ben threw in calmly as he cleared his throat." I know we don't have time for small talk but I hear your kind of the man who plans for everything?"

"And if I am?"

"I'm just saying, I thought of an idea that might in theory work on Prime. It's going to need everything we got for it to work though."

"I'm listening."

Ben proceeded to tell the Dark Knight and the hero's around him his plan, but before Batman could respond Prime suddenly yelled in wild fury and at seeing Superman coming for him he unleashed another burst of heat vision. While his target dodged that he quickly unleashed a lunging punch.

As Superman caught the punch Prime growled out," Just die and leave this universe to me! Your to corrupted to understand just how much of a failure you are!"

"Understand Superboy? Your willing to destroy everything and everyone to feel what, special? Needed?"

"I am special! I'm the only one who can rescue this messed up universe to make things how they should be! I'm the only one who knows how to make it right. When you and all the other corrupt heroes are erased on one will be confused about who the true hero is, on who the real Superman is!"

"Even if you do that, you will never be Superman! Because you have no idea what it means to be Superman!"

"Yes I do! I'm from Krypton! The real one, a better Krypton then yours ever was!"

"It's not about where you were born. It's not about what powers you have or what you wear on your chest! It's about what you do, it's about action!"

"SHUT UP!"

Prime suddenly headbutt his older counterpart, and did it a few more times till he caused Superman to bleed. As the older man's stance weakened Prime rapidly punched Superman in the gut." Your right about one thing, it is about action! I have the power to make my actions trump all the bad guy's action! That's why my action is going to shut up you liars, once and for all! Die!"

Prime suddenly grasped Superman by his cape and spun around rapidly like a tornado before he threw Superman so hard that he was flung not just out of Attilan, but out of the planet, through the barrier the Beyonder created and right into the sun.

As everyone watched in horror at this display of might Prime looked down smugly on everyone." Do you get it now? Even someone close to me, can't stop me! The only thing you can do, is decide how you want to die! Now, time to keep my promise about killing that girl dead so bad there won't even be ashes left!"

Prime gave a deranged glance at Jean, but before he could a golden energy sword wave raced into his face. While it did little more than sting, it was enough for the demented version of Superman to look up and see Ben staring him down.

The Enji Knight just greeted his enemies scowl with a defiant grin." Yah about that…I'm not really keen on dying today in any way if you don't mind. Then again even if you do mind there is still too much on the line to let you have your way no matter what!"

Prime just spat on the ground before he leaned forward." Did I hit you so hard you got brain damage Enji loser? I'll kill you whatever way I feel like it because you're too weak to stop me! Here, got some words for you to live and die by in the next few seconds!"

Ben saw his foe grasp part of the castle wall and rip it off before quickly using his heat vision at low power to write words on the wall. Everyone was tense a few seconds before Prime gleefully showed that he wrote," Here lays Enji loser Ben Auro, with great power comes one-big zero, died like the hypocritical wuss he is!" Seeing this just caused Ben to roll his eyes. "Seriously? No super ability for insults eh? Just because your title was Super Boy did not think you could insult on a second-grade level!"

"Shut up! I'm Superman now, because Superman is dead! And you're going to wish I killed you as easily you lying failure but you're going to regret not learning the lesion I gave you last time! Don't matter how many copies of yourself you make, or how big a laser blast you can shoot cause nothing you do can hurt me!"

"Don't think there is nothing to see yet Prime, I did not show you everything I could do just yet! Besides, I'll give you that you have the edge power wise for now but what's changed is now I got a firm idea on just what you are, and know how to take you down! Now Storm!"

The member of the X-Men flew high into the sky before her eyes glowed." Winds, rain, block out the sky with your rage!"

Using her mutant power Storm caused a storm to quickly break out and block the sky. As rain poured down and lighting flashed by, Prime got hit by lighting and merely sneered." Think I'm going to break down and cry over a little lighting like some puny dork?"

"Maybe not, but I did hear that your kind gets their power from the yellow sun."

"You really think I would shut down in the rain faker? A Kryptonian is not a solar battery punk, even if the sun's not out I still have more than enough energy in me to kill everyone left in Battle World! "

"Even if that's true, I'm going to give you as less as an edge as possible! Speaking of edges, Kaio Ken, times twenty!"

The savior of the universe dug down and unleashed all the power he could handle with one burst before charging at Prime. His opponent eagerly charged at him to try and fly right through with him. For a moment he thought he succeeded, only to realize he hit through a after image. The moment he realized that Ben appeared on top of him, and greeted him with his sword.

The member of Squad 7's stunt caused his sword to slice through Prime's face. It was not a deep cut, but it was enough for Prime to see blood trickle down, and get newly enraged. The man who saw himself as the ultimate hero prepared to unleash another burst of cold breath to try and freeze Ben, only for the Hulk to tackle him, and then for Wonder Woman to dive at Prime with her sword.

Iron Man saw more hero's go to assist Ben before he checked the status of his armor." Alright, if the plan is going to work it's now or never. At least the others seem to have managed to got Trinity back to normal, they are telling me she is at her best self. As long as that means she can do what I wanted her to do then we still have a shot. Hey Flashes, I'm going to need your speedy building skills to pull this off so get ready to show me you really are faster than Quicksilver."

Captain America eyed the former Avenger carefully before he sighed." Alright Tony just what is your end game? I know your machine blew up a planet before but now your saying that was not in its complete state? It already blew up a planet but, something tells me even that kind of fire power is not going to cut it with Prime. Don't tell me you were attempting to blow up this entire reality Stark?"

"Haha…your thinking the wrong kind of overkill Steve. The energy has been more unstable then I first expected, that's why I needed Trinity to stabilize the process. But it's more like a scalpel then a hammer for this."

"What, what do you mean?"

"Steve, if I have to explain how the Miracle Machine will work we will most likely be dead before I'm done so…you're really going to have to trust me on this."

Before the first Avenger could respond he saw Prime yell furiously before he flew above Ben and unleashed a massive burst of heat vision the size of a building he winced." Guess we don't have many good options, just do it right."

"Heh, if nothing else I always do my tech right. Right, let's move!"

Iron Man moved off with Batman, the Beast, the Flash, and the others he needed to complete his project, and thankfully for him his current enemy was too busy trying to vaporize Ben at the moment.

The owner of the Star Sword moved at full speed but tensed up as he realized Prime was able to keep up his Heat Vision as he moved without any visible strain.

Prime saw Ben just barley stay out of his heat visions path and just chucked." Run run as fast as you can, you can't outrun the Super man! The more you struggle the more pathetic its going to be when I waste you and carve my S on your corpse! "

Ben flew higher and realized that Prime had carved a S like the Superman logo into the planet itself with his heat vision as he was chasing him and could not help but roll his eyes." Seriously? Your so insecure you have to try and carve your name into the planet?"

"Shut up! It's to show the other worlds who the champion here is, before I throw this planet full of fakers at them to get them next! It's to show everyone just how mighty a hero I am!"

"The harder you try and call yourself a hero, the more you prove you don't have an idea on what a hero truly is! But no matter how hard you lash out I will force you to see what you really are! Senkei!"

Ben unleashed a surge of light from the holy blade, before suddenly Superboy Prime found himself surrounded by a cage of golden energy blades. The very unheroic man just snorted at the sudden sight." You think having a bunch of swords scares me? Don't matter if you have one or a million, no, a billion swords! It won't be enough!"

"Guess there is only one way to find out eh? Divine Millennia Slash!"

Prime saw golden energy swords dive at him from all directions, but Prime just chuckled as he bat the swords away like they were fleas. As one went for his face he merely caught it in his mouth with ease. After chewing on it for a few seconds like it was a candy bar Prime threw it back at Ben." I love a good snack after a workout! Seriously, still think your tricks matter or do I have to poke your eyes out with your own precious sword to get my point across?"

"Don't say that till the trick is over Prime, because now it's time for the second act! Here we go!"

Ben's hand glowed with light, before suddenly a whole new set of energy blades filled out across the sky. Prime sneered at this till Ben's aura expanded, and all of the swords in the air changed from a golden color to a blood red one.

The leader of the Justice Force looked determined before he had the new batch of red swords all dive at Prime again.

Ben's target had his eyes twitch at the sight of this as he charged forward." Think making your swords red is going to scare me? Who's a brat now? I'll show you pain you weak little, huh?"

Prime dove through the first wave of red energy swords, but as he went on he realized one cut him across the cheek. He then realized he felt dizzy." What lame trick is this now? Wait a second, these swords, almost look like a red sun!"

Ben flashed an anxious grin before countering with a dry,"That's because my swords are now reflecting the light of a red sun. While I like the golden look, after some training I can focus and change what kind of light my energy blades produce. Thanks to advice from Batman, the Green Lantern and a few of the others I was able to match the precise wavelength of your weakness! So, what's that about being invincible?"

Prime saw his blood trickle down before he grasped his fist tightly." Damn you! Your little tricks are nothing, nothing! Maybe you can chip some energy away from me, but I still have so much that it won't change a damn thing!"

Ben saw his opponent unleash another massive burst of Heat Vision and used all of his power to keep it at bay with the Star Sword. As he saw Prime was looking more strained then before he shouted out a resolute,"Then I'll just have to chip away harder! Divine Atonement Slash!"

Ben had a storm of energy swords composed of red sunlight burst out underneath Prime and consume him like a downpour. While Ben's target proceeded to bat away the blades, to Ben's relief, some started to stick into his body and damage his armor. Ben heard Prime yell and just looked confidant. "Yes, it's working! Your power may sort of be like a solar battery, so I'm cutting your fuses!"

"You damn punk, you're going to pay! No matter what, you're not going to beat me, no cheap tricks will be enough to take down the ultimate hero! I always find a way out, no matter how bad it gets I always pull through!"

Ben saw Prime look at him with a look of raw hate, and saw his enemy quickly dash at him in the same way he dashed at Black-Bolt, only for the Enji to quickly cast the Spiral Light Blitz spell to have more red sun energy swords form around him.

As one pierced Prime's left leg and another went through his right shoulder Ben quickly dashed above his opponent, and had more energy swords bombard Prime." Everyone's luck runs out sooner or later Prime, you just got to make sure you have it when it counts! For all your power, did things ever really change for the better in your world? Like Superman said, all you cared about was stroking your ego, you did nothing pass the short term to change people's lives for the better!"

"Screw you loser! I saved everyone no matter what, anything else is the real pipe dream! After all, I did what the people wanted, it's how the world worked! I saw what happened to all those X losers, the Inhumans and the others on their world! No matter how many times they saved the world people never liked them better! People never change, so you just do what a hero's supposed to do!"

"Only because you were to short sited about the possibilities Prime! Even if it's more difficult, to change the very nature of humanity, of mortal consciousness so that there won't be any need for super hero's is the ultimate goal of a hero! Superman left such an impact that he inspired the Legion of Superhero's to carry on his legacy a thousand years later.

Maybe it did not last forever, but it will be a longer legacy then yours! I know the path to the true utopia of understanding is possible, and I'll carve a future to that path, and cut down anyone that tries to stop it! Its time you face your justice Prime, Quasar Justice Force Slash!"

Ben suddenly had dozens of red sun energy swords surge into the Star Sword to have it become a massive blade of red sun. The Enji wasted no time unleashing his brutal sword combo and attacked as fast as he could to give Prime as little time to retort as possible. With each blow Ben carved up more of his opponent's armor, and also drove more Red Sun light into him.

After slashing him enough times to form a pentagram of light Ben appeared above Prime to focus and try and unleash a killer blow. The wounded Dimension General snarled with primal fury and tried to blast Ben away with another burst of Heat Vision, but after being weakened so much by the red sun Ben was able to slash the blast in half and bring his sword down.

Prime moved fast enough to avoid being sliced completely in half but he still got cut completely across his body. As an explosion of light blasted out Prime coughed up blood and screamed in pain.

Ben saw his opponent start to fall to the ground, and for a moment wondered if he managed to land the conclusive blow before in the blink of an eye he grasped Ben by the throat.

The corrupt version of Superman was coughing blood and looking like he was about to have a stroke as he roared out." That hurt, that really, really hurt! But your still just a man trying to kill a super man! And now I'm going to keep my promise to, GUH!"

All of a sudden Superman appeared from above, and smashed Prime so hard that in less than a second he was smashed through Attilan, and deep into the planet. As Ben caught his breath he saw Superman was glowing red, like he was part of the sun itself. As The Man of Steel glanced below he uttered a solemn,"You won't tarnish my legacy ever again! Ben, sorry it took so long, but looks like your plan worked."

"Heh…mostly." Ben answered nonchalantly." Just had a bit of timing off that last blow. Oh well, just, maybe, we are close to finishing this."

"Don't worry, Prime thought he was hurting me but, he just supercharged me to even the odds."

Everyone heard a manic yell before Prime burst up above everyone, with the left side of his face looking black and blue and a massive cut across his chest, with all of his armor destroyed from Ben's attack.

Prime just glanced at Superman before he snarled out," How the hell did you get back in time? This punk's tricks should not have weakened me enough to put a weaker loser version of me match me!"

"You just proved you relied too much on your superior power that you did not even realize you could empower yourself by dipping in the sun! Too late, I'm not going to let you get the chance! This ends here Prime, you been exposed for the fraud you are!"

Prime yelled with pure hate and grasped his hands so hard blood came out." I'm not the fraud, you are! NO matter what your tricks, your all just fake heroes! I'm the only one, I'm the true hero!"

Prime suddenly had his eyes glow purple, before an aura of darkness spread around him like wildfire. He laughed erratically as he cut his own chest with his finger, to write the superman S emblem on his own chest out of blood. "All the corrupt stuff has to die! Once everything is gone only then will things be right! I'll just destroy everything! Once you losers have nothing to breath most of you will just die and I can pick off whoever is left! I can do it you know, there is nothing I can't do when I really want to!"

Prime suddenly rapidly spun his right fist. And as it begun to look like a blur and glow Superman saw this and gasped. No…I did not think even he would attempt an Infinite Mass Punch!"

"Infinite Mass Punch? Wait, I have a pal named Sonic who had an Infinite Mass Spin dash attack."Ben uttered tensely." Something about him spinning real fast at once to unleash a really strong impact."

"That's the gist of it but, no offense to your friend but the attack is going to be far worst when someone with Prime's power unleashes it. I used the move myself while going all out only a few times, and it took out a planet. With the planets in this battle world as close together as they are, he might not only destroy this one but the others nearby!"

"Sure as hell not going to let that happen! "Ben uttered as he gave Prime a deadly serious look."No matter how massive a tantrum you throw, you're not going to win! Because when it comes down to it, justice is not on your side!"

Prime just kept laughing madly as his right eye twitched and he looked like he was about to have a stroke."Course it is loser, because I'm the strongest! I have to be, if I'm not, then I'm nothing! I always pull through, SO GIVE UP AND DIE ALREADY!"

Ben saw his enemy dive into the air, before coming down like a meteor of raw rage. Realizing how serious his enemy was caused the Enji to throw out a slick grin." If you're that hardcore about hero's, then I thought you knew that a real hero never gives up! While it's important to have the power to defend what you care about, to intend to never lose, to never taste defeat is just setting yourself up for a fall.

Everyone fails sometime or another, even gods fail! But if you become hellbent on never failing then you become…well…you. Its only by failing can we learn, can we grow! I made mistakes, but as deeply as I swore to learn from them for them to have meaning! And I won't let someone like you to stop me! One way or another, this ends now! Kaio Ken times twenty,Sekiha Tenkyo, Burning SHINRYUKENHA!"

Ben pushed his body as far as he could before unleashing his combined energy blast. The blast smashed into Prime's vibrating fist, but it only stalled him for a few moments before Prime pushed through."HAHAHAH! No matter what you do you will never be stronger then me!"

Superman saw Ben wince before he narrowed his eyes."Maybe one on one, but he is not alone! "

Superman quickly unleashed as power a burst of Heat Vision as he could in his super charged state to merge with Ben's attack. As he did the Green Lantern, Jean, Cyclops, Super girl and all the hero's around that could help fired their attacks to merge with Ben's.

Yet while this combined energy blast did push back Prime, they could not over power Prime's Infinite Mass Punch. Seeing all the determined faces just made the disgraced hero get even more manic."Bring it on, even if everyone in Battle-World takes me on I won't lose!"

Yamamoto had thrown in his attack to, yet seeing that his target was still not backing down caused him to wince." Damn this insane youth! All your actions to erode his power and it amounted for naught?"

"No, the Red Sun swords did work!" Ben retorted fiercely,"Hate to say it but if I did not erode his strength we might not be able to have lasted this long! Still, as insane as he is, his limits really are ridiculous. Still, if Brad's absolute force was not enough to kill me, then this insane clone won't either! I mean…it can't take a miracle to stop him, right?"

"Don't worry Ben, even if it does we got a miracle coming right up!"

The Enji widened his eyes for a few moments before he realized who contacted him on the commlink."That you Lloyd? Ah glad things are working out on your end, was getting worried when my clone did not get back to me."

"Haha…sorry about that we had to use the clone as a emergency power source."

"Wait…what? Power source for what?"

"Er…don't worry he agreed to it. Long story short our robot pals managed to stop Sigma. Thanks to Beck he got that Trinity thing to her proper senses. Now Iron dude, er, I mean Iron Man, Batman, and the others are using Trinity with their machine and they say it will take down that wack-job! Just hold him back a little while longer!"

"All right, but no matter how complex this machine is you have to pull it off soon because I don't think we can drag this out much longer!"

As Ben and the others used everything they had to keep Prime's world breaking attack back, their allies were working as fast as they could to help them in time. Thankfully with the help of Barry and the others with the Speed Force, fast as they can means very, very fast.

Wally and Jessie were able to retrieve the other numbers, and at the moment Stark was doing the finishing touches on his trump card, the Miracle Machine.

Captain America saw that his former comrades were all but done before he saw that the machine looked like a stainless-steel turbine engine with twin pillars around it before he raised his eyebrow." This is what you went to such great lengths to build Stark? It, looks well, unremarkable."

The mutant with the appearance of a blue furry beast named Hank McCoy, who had the title of the Beast just hanged upside down in the remains of the ceiling." True it's not sleek Captain, but as they say beauty is just skin deep yes?"

Stark chuckled before adding," True it lacks my style but to be fair Steve, I did not come up with the blueprints. The blueprints came from the Justice League. In the language of its makers, some controllers or something, it was called Geh-Jedollah-the Absolute. But, might as well just call it a Miracle Machine. It's not as good as the Infinity Gems but it will do. Steve, its more or less a chunkier Cosmic Cube, and you have plenty of experiences with that eh?"

"Seriously? So, in the end it's something that turns thoughts into reality? And this has worked in the past?"

Batman looked over the energy readings before he nodded. "This is no delusion. We learned of the Miracle Machine from when we met the Legion of Tomorrow in the future and they talked about it as a gift. When our enemy Darkside threatened to destroy everything, Superman met with Brainiac Five of the Legion to see the machine. I was not around at the time but it seems to have successfully restructure reality and remake the Universe thus averting the end of creation as Darkseid's spirit attempted to drag reality down with his own death. So, in the end, that's what you intended to do Stark?"

Eh, more or less. I know Doom's plan to steal the Beyonder's energy backfired so I figured at least we could use it to overpower some of the stronger enemies, if not rob them of their strength. It, was clearly an unstable process, and I realized I needed a stable enough power source to well, restructure reality. Trinity, with her power to convert mass amounts of energy, was the best shot we have.

And, now it's time to see if I'm a mad genius or not. You guys ready Beck?"

Iron Man glanced up to see Beck, and all of the other Mighty Numbers, the fiery mighty number one Pyrogen, Mighty Number two the water based Cryosphere, Mighty Number three the female light bulb like Dyantron, Mighty Number four, the tall male robot that had arms like a cross of wrecking machine and Guts-Man, Seismic, Mighty Number five, a robot that's head looked like a sniper rifle named Battalion,Mighty Number Six, the blue aerial based Aviator, Brandish, Countershade, and Ray all standing on top of the Miracle Machine, with Trinity floating above it.

Beck saw Trinity and gave a thumb up."We are as ready as we can be, right Doctor White?"

"Yes, the calculations are all worked out. With all the Numbers synchronized with Trinity, she will successfully be able to overlay the power. Go for it!"

Stark took a deep breath before he looked at everyone."It's now or never then. Well, if we are going to die anyway might as well be on our term. T'Challa, the target is locked on Superman's nutty clone right?"

The man known as the Black Panther nodded."I narrowed it down to lock on to Prime's energy alone. It should be ready."

"Good, the backlash would not be as bad as say, the Ultimate Nullifier but, still don't want to make things even worst if things backfire."

Captain America could not help but chuckle at this."Are you the real Tony Stark? Don't think I ever heard you doubt your skills in my entire life."

"Oh, after all this you have faith in me Steve?"

"It was never your brain I doubted Stark, just your heart. And at the moment I'm willing to trust that your instincts are the best way out of this."

"Well I'll take it. Everyone ready, Miracle Machine locked on, and fire!"

Beck, Trinity, Ray, and the other Numbers all glowed with light, before the entire Inhuman city surged with light, and nearly all the energy it had, along with energy from all over the planet poured into the machine, Trinity absorbed all that energy, before it went into the machine itself, and fired out a massive blue beam of light.

The light raced out from the Inhuman Coliseum, and head right for Super boy Prime. The one chosen to be one of the Beyonder's champion saw the new source of light coming for him and just roared out,"How many of you fake heroes are still hiding? It's useless, its, huh? NO!"

The beam hit Prime right in the chest, and for a moment he thought nothing of it, till he suddenly felt sick, and saw the Vollständig on his face ripple, before it shattered. As the Miracle Machine altered Prime to shatter the Aschetonig ability the Beyonder bestowed on him he saw his fist starting to crack before he seethed out a delirious,"This, this has to be a trick! You, you cheaters are just trying to trick me! But no matter what you do or say, I know I can never lose! That's right, I can't lose, I won't lose to fake corrupt heroes like you! I hey!"

Spiderman suddenly swung around and fired his compact webbing to fire his web shooters at the man's eyes. In his weakened state, the distracted madman was hit successfully and for the moment blinded. Spiderman saw Prime yell from his ambush and quickly threw another burst of webbing at his mouth before he laughed." No matter how this goes down, at least we can end this with not having to hear you moan!"

Ben saw that despite Prime's erratic boasts, his fist was starting to crack more and more. The member of Squad 7 then shot back with a driven," You can choose to believe your alternate facts all you want Prime, but the reality is that you're not the hero, you're an insane villain that's getting the justice you deserve! NOW!"

The leaders of the Justice Force and the Justice League put everything they had left for one final push, and everyone's combined attack pushed Prime's Infinite Mass Punch back, till it shattered his fist. As the webbing quickly vaporized, Prime saw his arms start to vaporize before yelling out a delirious," NO! Your cheating, if this was my world I would have win! Mister Beyonder, help me not lose to the fake heroes! I can't, see anything! This can't be real, I'm the true, RAHH!"

Prime gave one last scream of outrage, before his limbs vaporized and he was pushed to the edge of the barrier the Beyonder cast over the planet. At last the energy exploded, vaporizing every cell of Super boy Prime's body and shattering the Beyonder's barrier over the world in the process. As the light faded, Ben realized every trace of his fanatical enemy was gone, and allowed himself to slouch over and breathe easy." Alright, just pulled it off by the skin of our teeth but we made it!"

Superman gave a wary sigh before he nodded."I hate when any life has to be lost, but he just refused to try and change. Let's just end this demented game before anyone else has to suffer. Most of all, let's just make sure there are no more curve balls to this game."

As everyone looked around to make sure things were indeed over, one of the few people not happy with the outcome of the fight was quickly withdrawing from everyone before she was noticed.

Yabbat was shocked to see Prime disintegrate and as the Black Swan saw Ben wearily land on the ground with his old and new allies all looking relived she eyed him intently."Super Boy Prime, was defeated? But, he had the favor of Rabum Alal! He was fated to be one of the Divergence Catalysts to push through the Incursion ritual, and be a singularity to let the Master have a firm grasp on the heathen realm! How, could such frail hypocritical ideas overcome the ultimate power?"

Suddenly a blistered Towa floated over, with the charred remains of Mira floating around her specter before she giggled darkly." Because now it's clear without a doubt that Cosmos's champion was not given that title lightly. This savior of the invalid existence was able to reach out to the warring sides and get them to understand each other. His flexible passion was able to overcome Prime's ridge passion, perhaps his heroic reason is the superior heroic reason after all."

Yabbat just narrowed her eyes before responding with an acidic,"It matters not, the concepts of the old order will soon fade into nothingness. Still, it's clear we must twist this Ben Auro's faith against him, choke him with his own strengths.

Ben Auro himself has direct protection from Cosmos but perhaps it might be wise to replace one of his comrades with one of our own when they are separated to trick him. The bald Enji Master seems to have enough powers to pull it off with the proper stage."

Towa smirked before she flicked her hair back." It's no use, Ben Auro seems to have more evolved senses then the reports indicated. But, you have the right idea, in fact the other Swans have already begun to work on a more, nuanced version of your idea as this unfolded. Yes, Ben Auro has shown just how passionate he is about seeing his dream realized. That's why it must be shattered by one that can twist the knife the best.

We have the means to pull off, so in the end while it seems like a setback, its merely to give Cosmos's champions a false sense of security. So let the "hero" think he is closer to salvation, so that the despair he will feel in the next stage will be even sweater."

Yabbat nodded, before the two Black Swans warped away from the planet. Ben was too busy keeping himself conscious to notice their departure, and as he saw X, Megaman, Beck, and the rest of the group arrive he chuckled as he powered down and put the Star Sword away."X, Zero, Lloyd, everyone, you made it! So, glad you made it out ok."

Zero laughed as the two shook hands."C'mon you really doubted we could not handle another half-baked Sigma copy? Though, I do admit Beck's quick thinking made things calm down a lot faster."

"That so? Knew you could do it Beck." Ben said as he looked at the Mighty Number proudly before giving an thumbs up."Thanks for helping us save everyone."

Beck beamed proudly before he looked at everyone." I'm just glad I could be useful in a battle like this. But even though I did my part it would not have mattered if you all did not do yours! I mean, you really beat Super Boy Prime? That's insane, I did not think that was possible with how crazy strong he looked when I first saw him!"

Ben looked proud before quipping back," Oh you know, courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality and all. Just, very relived my ideas were not half baked. Still, thank you for having my back on this."

Batman shrugged before responding with a detached,"You're not too bad as a strategist Enji, so it was simply the most logical course of action. I'm just relived you were able to get everyone to put aside their differences so we could be a united front."

Captain America looked at Iron Man with remorse."I am grateful you were able to get me to see things clearly before it was too late son. I admit, I got to obsessed over one thing and nearly lost sight of the bigger picture."

Ben shrugged before throwing out a friendly,"Eh, it happens from time to time. I know how it feels to have missed something before it's too late so, just wanted to see people avoid that mistake if I can help it. Well that and save the world and all."

"Well not sure if everything's going to be singing kumbaya kid but least we all agreed to put everything on hold so we can live to work it out." Stark throw out dryly." Still, I'd love for us all to party at a shawara restaurant over how epic my genius is but not sure it's time to celebrate just yet."

Yamamoto looked at all the hero's warily as he kept his hand near his sword." He's right, we have no idea if this action satisfied the master of this game. For all we know, the next wave of enemies could appear any moment now, right in front of us."

Kratos saw Ben looked warily at the Enji Master before he sighed." It's true that as much as we may want to rejoice, there is little for us to really celebrate yet. Alas we still don't know the fate of our comrades. I like to think they at least landed on the other worlds intact but with how powerful our enemy is there is no way of knowing."

Ben saw how tense his comrades were before he closed his eyes, and gave a calm smile." Don't get to gloom guys, no need to assume the worst yet. I mean, no need to assume the best either but at the very least, even with the Beyonder 's power I would feel if something happened to Lacus, I know it. I don't have as deep a bound with the others but, I know I would have felt something, and I have not yet. So, just saying there is still hope. No matter how powerful this Beyonder is, he still underestimates what us heroes can do when we are determined. And before this is over he is going to have to, huh?"

To everyone's shock the sky suddenly brightened, before the sun, that was still where the Beyonder was residing in surged with light. Suddenly a thunderous voice boomed out," THE NEXT PHASE OF BATTLE WORLD HAS BEEN DECIDED! THOSE WHO REMAIN HAVE ENTERTAINED ME WELL! NOW PREPARE FOR THE FINAL PHASE! PREPARE TO PROVE WHO IS THE MOST WORTHY OF THEM ALL!"

Ben braced himself as a pathway of pure light seemed to descend from the sun itself, and land directly in front of him. The Enji looked at the other heroes anxiously, before the owner of the Star Sword gave an anxious shrug." So, um…they say what would happened when we got to this point?"

"Only that it would be both the final showdown against those who made it to this point, and that it would be the ultimate test to prove that we are worthy in the way the Beyonder deems it. Sorry, if your friends made it to this point the Beyonder could very well try and make you fight them."

The man who defeated Zannacross closed his eyes for a moment, before confidently looking at the pathway the Beyonder created for him."He does seem sadistic enough. But, to be honest it would be hardly the first time I had something like that thrown my way. No matter what happens, I won't lose my way! I'll do whatever I can to protect those that matter to me, and carve a path to the future I want to bring. Well guys, I doubt our "host" is going to wait all day so ready?"

Both Ben's old and new comrades expressed various forms of agreement and with a deep breath Ben slowly walked up the stairs. As he did he remembered the last time he held his girlfriend in his arms."Lacus, I may be a broken record at this point but no matter what the Beyonder is throwing at you hang in there! No matter what kind of idea he has, I won't let it be enough to stop me! I know, we all have what it takes to defeat even his power! I know, my dream is more than a fantasy, and I'll prove it to everyone before this is over."

Ben braced himself as he climbed the divine stairway to confront what the master of this fractured reality had in store for him, trying to beat away fears that his friends might have not been as lucky as him, and if what he was about to find out would either ease his fears, or confirm them.

Next time, we turn back time a bit, to shift to Doug and his groups time in Battle-World so tune in for Chapter 211: Breath of the Wild Rage!

Till then, some Authors Notes: For one, as I said before I decided to give the Beyonder in my story some powers and aspects of the final villain from the Bleach series, Yhwach. The way Prime was given a aspect of the Beyonder's power was how Yhwach gave the Quincy parts of his power. I hope the way to defeat Super Boy Prime was not seen as to much over kill but it did take quite a lot to take him down, at least the first time in Infinite Crises and most of the other times he came back. The Miracle Machine was what Superman used to save reality from collapsing in the Final Crises event, figured like a good thing to use for this.

Well, hope you liked how Ben's arc played out, as I said again Doug's arc is next, if you forgot their will be aspects of Zelda, the Jojo series and more involved so hope you like how things unfold. Hope you liked enough to leave a review and till next time everyone.
