Chapter 236: The World Ends with You in the Wrathful Punchline of Fire and Fury!

As things were escalating in Battle-World, those outside of it were unaware of how dire things were unfolding. But the fact that Master Myers, Tifa, Ansem, and the rest of the Enji, Angels and God's of Destruction and their angelic attendants saw nothing at all change from the Schwarzwelt portal. With no contact from Ben and the others, those on the outside could only wait and have faith.

But some's patience were eroding faster then others, and for the dread of everyone one of them was Beerus. As much as the feline God of Destruction loved food, even he got full after trying everything the city had to offer him.

And despite their efforts Beerus was not impressed with Duel Monsters or the other games they tried to offer him.

As the elder celestial one took up Ben's friend and fellow Enji Kyle Dunamis offer for a spar only to defeat him with a flick he glanced back at the portal to the Beyonder's dimension. Upon seeing nothing and tapped his foot impatiently, with enough force to cause a earthquake before he swerved around to glare at Whis." Damn it Whis I'm bored! Did they fail or not because with how powerful the Beyonder is one way or another it should have been decided by now!"

"I'm afraid the Beyonder 's own reality is a tad beyond what I can peer into from the outside. All we can do is wait."

"Someone like me can do far more then be a bystander Whis!"

Belmond chuckled at the sight as the cat like member of his "group" looked angry enough to unnerve the Enji around him before he walked up and shuffled some more cards." That hungry for glory that your willing to jump the gun? Typical, but don't screw us over because of your poor impulses Beerus. Don't forget we are the last line of defense for all of existence.

Besides, based on what the Grand Priest said all you would pull off by jumping in their and throwing your weight around would be you getting vaporized. I mean, that would be funny but the joke's not so funny if I get dragged down with you."

"I know what this guy's power feels like more then you or any of the others Belmond!" Beerus hissed out. Those Enji clearly are in over their head."

Myers looked at the Schwarzwelt portal keenly before he cleared his throat." With all due respect Lord Beerus, Ben, Lacus and all the other Enji have proven they could overcome even the most sever situations.

It may have been a while since they defeated Zannacross, but with all that's on the line I know that the light will be with my fellow Enji."

Beerus saw how strained the leader of the Enji looked before he sighed." I know your quite proud of your warriors of light but this time its different, they are not solely on the script, in a battle between light and darkness. The gist of it is your prized pupils might be over there head."

"Well I think it's a understatement to say that would be more than a tad disappointing Beerus." The fox like God of Destruction Liquiir uttered as he walked up." Not all of us have been sleeping the past century, and in fact were quite invested in Ben Auro being able to follow through with his destiny and at last bring true reformation to existence.

I must say if I had to watch yet another repetitive grand war between "light and darkness" I was going to do more than groan in exasperation.

Would be a damn shame if they were at last going to pull off raising the over all mortal rating only for it to fall apart, and after Grand Priest Rassilon took so much of his valuable time to give him his advice on the best way to reform humanity."

The mouse like God of Destruction, Quitela snickered before he walked up." No offense to you mortals but when your champion first started attempting to preform his task four years ago mister champion seemed over his head. Heh, that is till the Master of Masters gave him advice that only someone who was the " Third Firmament" AKA the first angel could provide."

Tifa raised a eyebrow before she walked over." Oh, and what did this Rassilon tell Ben?"

"Beats me lady but knowing are father, I'm sure he said something wise and enlightening and all that. Course, your beloved savior don't has the Master of Master's wisdom so he can still screw it up."

"Its true Ben Auro is not perfect." Ansem uttered calmly." His strength for a time may have been infinite but his wisdom was never godly.

However, with Lacus, Ezan, James, Cloud and all the other Enji as well as King Atem, myself and the others helping him I know he will not stumble down the true twilight road to dawn for us all. I,"

Before the former leader of the Zeon Federation could go on a thunderous sound cut him off, and everyone was alarmed as the Schwarzwelt portal suddenly glowed red, and had lighting burst out around it.

Myers saw the lighting go down to hit some of the buildings below on Elympios as well as some of the Lylat Ships on standby before he grit his teeth."No, did are comrades fail? Lord Beerus, is this what happened previously when the Incursion unfolded?"

Beerus saw the pathway between dimensions unleash more stray burst of seemingly raw energy before he narrowed his eyes." Not quite Grand Geezer, but I'm going to wager its nothing good."

Reed and Sue Richards went up to the Grand Master before the head of both the Fantastic Four and the Future Foundation cleared his throat." Everyone, don't mean to alarm you all I been reading the energy coming from the Schwarzwelt portal and the gist of it is that the Superflow, which is the informational space between dimensions is vibrating much faster.

It, could be that our team is making there return but the vibrations are much vaster. I don't have a precise evaluation but, I think it would be best if we are fully prepared."

Myers sighed grimly before he took out his Primus sword and glanced at Cress, Cecil, Kyle, and the other Enji before he nodded." Thank you Mister Richards, the time has come to see if all of are planning has been for naught."

Champa saw his thinner brother look focused before he snickered," Looks like your going to get your big moment to shine after all eh bro? Just don't get to full of yourself or I'm going to have to make you look bad in front of the entire universe! HAH!"

As the fatter God of Destruction laughed Beerus glared at him before he saw his brother's attendant, Valdo's, giggle." Careful their Lord Champa or your going to look even more foolish then you did when in the disastrous battle of the past."

"Ah quit pulling my tail Valdos I was totally badass and you know it!"

"Then why am I the one who survived eh brother?" Beerus hissed out. As Champa winced his fellow God of Destruction, the red bearded Sidra grasped his fist and had energy surge around his right hand." Focus you two. If the chosen one and the others truly have failed, then we are the last line of defense for existence itself.

Even if the Beyonder caught you brothers by surprise previously, now he will see the ultimate fury of all of the God's of Destruction!"

"Don't go all out just yet Lord Sidra. With all due respect, Cosmos has a plan for a last ditch effort."

Everyone looked up to see it came from one of the Celestial Royal Knights. The half Digimon with a dragon head for one arm and a metallic wolf head for another, Omnimon.

Beerus saw Omnimon fly down before he rolled his eyes."Please three heads...your programmed to be a fool if you think Cosmos would rely on you over us! Maybe you Royal Knights are more, diplomatic, but no being has more base power in the universe then then God's of Destruction!"

You mean, besides the angels that sole purpose are to watch over you Lord Beerus?"

Gabriel Celeste mused as he flew alongside Omnimon. As he saw Beerus glare at him the blond haired Angel sighed." I mean no disrespect, but you should be aware that while its true Omnimon pales in comparison to you all, he also was given a precise function that might be helpful as a last ditch effort to advert the Incursion. It, might not be enough to defeat the Beyonder outright but it could buy us some time."

"Is this some lame excuse for a joke Celeste?"Beerus snapped out. This caused the blond angel to sigh." No, and if your about to ask why such a power was not used till now it's because it's a situational one, one that also would require all of you God's of Destruction to donate a portion of yours energy to Omnimon.

Another reason that it's a tactic of last resort is that if Ben, Lacus and the others don't return in time, they will be lost, with the rest of the dimension.

I hope you can trust that there death's are the very last thing I would want but, at the same time if they fail, we must ensure that they are the last ones to fail to the Beyonder's madness. "

Beerus saw some of his fellow God's of Destruction give their power to the Royal Knight before he rolled his eyes."What a drag, this better not be a waste of time. Auro…after hearing the details of just how you intend to try and pull off this" Ultimate Hero" job I want to see even more if your all but talk.

Tsc, I still stand by what I said that no one who trumpets justice is ever righteous themselves. Well, I suppose Cosmos is since she's the embodiment of light and all that but still, few mortals have ever been able to really practice what they preach for long.

Ben…you're not as simple minded as Goku but seems like your stubborn in other ways. If your not careful your going to go down the same path as Zamasu. Heh, but guess we will have to survive today to find out eh? Well, at the very least, its not been a boring day."

Beerus saw another ray of energy strike the Nova Comet before he growled and gave a portion of his energy to Omnimon, wondering who's plan would end up being able to amount to something.

As he and the rest of those in the mortal realm anxiously wondered if their champions had fallen, in the Beyonder's dimension Ben and the others were rapidly worrying if they could pull it off themselves.

Cloud was one of the many stressed to see his former squad member expressing a level of insanity beyond what even the likes of Sephiroth had. and despite the massive gap in power wanted to help Ben reach out to his friend, only to be cut off by the Beyonder's other fanatical servants.

While Lacus had hurt Balder with her attack the fanatical angel was strong enough to survive the blow and after seeing she was fighting Zamasu turned his sights on Cloud.

The man who formally presumed to be a First Class Soldier was able to weather Balder's various holy blasts till Vincent, Noctis, Squall, Megaman X, Mighty Number Nine and more gave him cover, only to nearly get his head cut off by Kirei Kotomine.

Cloud saw the other product of Stellar Memory made to serve as the Beyonder's adviser rapidly try to gut him with his "Black Keys" claw weapons before the blond haired Enji Captain once more had his blade become two and blocked the strikes.

As he saw how ruthless his enemy looked he sighed." I'd say we could talk this out but guess it's a moot point if your just the Beyonder's puppet?"

"Heh, I assure you that I'm doing this for more then just the orders of a master." Kirei uttered coldly." I was enlisted because I wanted to enforce the word of Rabum Alal.

It is a simple story. There is nothing that brings me happiness. It does not matter, let it be believing in people or having people believe in me.

What other people called happiness did not bring me any joy. But what did bring me happiness, was killing. I been watching you so called Enji fighting during this Battle-World and found your desire even more laughable then the other so called heroes. Your leader Ben Auro wants to bring total peace by bringing people to a state of total harmony?

It would have been amusing to see him make his wish on the Holy Grail if he was in one of the Fate contests, I seen more than a few naïve fools let their ambitious blow up in their face.

You wish to save humanity but you don't even understand what your trying to save. Conflict is humanity's primal instinct. Eliminating it would mean eliminating humanity itself."

Cloud winced as he thought of all the thoughts he had on his own about Ben and the others ideas about Project Homeostasis's Axiom Matrix before his view hardened." I remember once a wise man I know telling me how the planet's salvation might not mean humanity's salvation.

On my world, the damage we did to our world was so severe that it was on the brink of destruction. What was the best for the planet, what was bad for the planet, at the time the jury was not out on which side humans fell on.

When the Life-stream decided to spare humans the fate of Meteor, Jenova, Sephiroth, I did think that humanity, after renouncing Shinra and the Mako Reactors had proven they were worth salvation.

I thought the same thing again after we all overcame Chaos Zannacross Necron and the wrath of the collective darkness of the universe. But, after the war, the Life-Stream was still clean, but traces of darkness...of corruption remained.

I thought people at last learned the mistakes of the past, but even though I know the worst of the worst were gone, some still were nostalgic for the time when Shinra was ruling the world because it was the good old days when they did not have to think as hard. A time when some of them did not have to share as much, if at all.

Maybe, its just human nature to be nostalgic of the past regardless of its good or bad.

But, when people just willingly put people in charge that exploit them again and again because they are so careless that they forget everything for what's right in front of them then, it's a problem.

Well, not everyone is like that, but those that do shout so loud to silence everyone that tries to burst their bubble get drowned out by that rage again and again.

I wanted to have faith that humanity as a whole would learn, but, its starting to seem like a lot of people will just revert no matter what.

That means, no matter what happens, they will keep letting con artists like President Shinra and Weil Zabi string them along, they will keep creating monsters like Sephiroth and innocent people will get swept up in their wake.

Ben's plan can come off as extreme at first glance, but it also seems like there is room to be flexible.

All I know is, something has to change, even if it means a few have to conform if decent people over all can have a better world, like my own kid, then maybe that means humans as they are now have to be a thing of the past."

Kirei saw how distraught Cloud looked and snorted." If that's indeed the path you have chosen then take pride in it. Tell me, Enji. You seek to make a world of harmony, but what if there are people out of sync with the masses?

I want to know if it is a crime to live as you are, when you are different from others. You know angels, demons and robots alike all envy humans? Scriptures mention that humans are superior to angels. Why? Because there are people who know of evil, but do not become evil.

It's different from angels, who know only of good since birth. Humans have evil, but can live as good, so they are superior to angels, who know only good. In your frenzy to do the ultimate act of goodness, what if you cause those you are trying to be saved ultimate damnation?"

Cloud's eyes wavered, and as Kirei saw this his eyes widened and he slashed at Cloud fast enough to cut him across the face.

As the Enji Captain's attacker smirked he attacked with a even more frantic pace before the Beyonder 's servant struck in a way that forced Cloud's arms to be locked in place to block a strike.

Kirei had a damning look form as he prepared to impale Cloud in the eyes."I knew it, you have no faith in your own path, just feckless hope! Your leader, your precious messiah is guiding everyone to damnation out of his own desperation! Such frail resolve is powerless in the face of the omnipotent Rabum Alal! The Great Wheel will turn, and you will be crushed!"

Kirei prepared to finish Cloud off when he saw a shuriken fly for him. He swerved out of the way, only for Noctis to suddenly warp in front of it, with a sword in his hand that was aiming right for his heart. Kirei swerved out of the way but still got stabbed across the left side of his body and snarled.

Noctis just glared back and as he crossed blades with his new foe the King of Insomnia muttered," I'm still a new guy on the block here, so I don't know if this Auro guy can live up to his sells pitch. But, I know what it feels like to feel the pressure of great expectations weigh on you, and sounds like the higher powers gave him a even heavier burden then mine.

I don't know all the details, but I know Ardyn had a great burden placed on him to purify just my world of Eos, and the higher powers were clearly not impressed so they gave him a raw deal.

Don't know enough details to know if I'm missing something but, it does seem like they have high expectations and are not forgiving if those expectations are not met, and that's just with one world.

We all struggle to live up to what's expected of us, and as long as he's not trying to kill me I'm willing to fight for his future over no future at all!"

The heir to the Caelum dynasty had crystalline weapons rain down on his target. But in response Kirei had a aura of darkness surge around him before he moved fast enough to evade each blow.

As he prepared to strike back Kirei raised his hand, before he saw a wolf heading for him. The priest assassin struck it, only for lighting to consume him.

As Kakashi landed near Cloud the Ninja of the Hidden Leaf branded a kunai." Nothing is absolute, but the gist of it is we trust theses guys over your boss."

Zidane suddenly ran up before his Trance Mode flared up once more." Heh, at least if Ben's plan falls apart we or whoever is around when it falls can fix it.

If we let your boss steal the treasure that is our universe, we are never going to get it back! That's why, we are going to kick your ass and go back to the place where we belong! Grand Lethal!"

Kirei saw the Enji unleash a barrage of purple energy blasts and had his claws glow red before they expanded in size, and he slashed the attacks away.

While he thought he was succeeding in neglecting the attack, he saw a glimmer of light and swerved around to see Squall was already in the middle of unleashing his Blasting Zone Limit Break.

Squall saw his attacked try to dodge, but swung his massive blade of light even faster. While Kirei avoided being sliced in half he still had a massive cut erupt across his chest. The former SeeD landed on the ground and upon seeing his target's cry of pain he shrugged." That's what you get for thinking we are all loudmouths. Whatever, Zidane's big mouth is the perfect distraction."

"Tag teaming for the win Squall!" The tailed Enji threw out with a chipper tone. Kirei staggered forward, but as he coughed up blood he heard a sound and saw Vincent Valentine pointing a gun at him.

The former member of the Turks transformed into his Chaos state, and as his Cerberus gun turned into the Death Penalty cannon he snarled out." Your just another fanatic to blow apart. Farewell."

As Vincent landed on the ground Ruby landed on the other end before she had her scythe transform into a cannon." Seriously dude, your way up on the creepy scale so you got to go!"

She, Barret, Irvine and a few others also fired at Kirei. But as their target saw attacks coming at him from all sides his eyes widened with rage before a purple aura exploded out of him with enough force to repelled all of the attacks.

A dark star of energy appeared on his head before he grit his teeth." You sinful humans still don't realize the gap between mortals and gods! But in your final moments, you will as I show you a fraction of true power!"

Kirei roared as his aura consumed him, and he gained black armor and fallen angel wings before he flew above the Enji and their comrades." The reality is that I as Kirei Kotomine is just the vessel for the personification of mortality and death, Thanatos! Hah, you mortals are so consumed with fear that I made you paralyzed with regret!"

"Piff…get real dude." Zidane countered flippantly as he rolled his eyes." This is hardly the last time the bad guy's transformed on me or announced he was the personification of death and stuff like that. Your nothing special punk, just another blowhard that's going to get all the hot air smashed out of him!"

"Tsc…your arrogance knows no bounds, and you will pay dearly for that! Terrible Providence!"

Thanatos grasped his right hand and raised it into the air before pillars of demonic energy erupted to try and vaporize everyone around him. The outburst was so furious that it nearly hit his own allies.

As Balder saw one of the attacks erupt past him he snickered." Only now do you heathens realize the weight of your crimes! But it's too late, such heretics will never be forgiven! On my soul as a Lumen, all who defy Rabum Alal will draw their last breath before me!"

The man in white with peacock wings saw Cloud evade the magical outbursts and aimed his hand to cast a spell at the spiky haired man.

But before he could unleash his spell Lighting blocked it with her shield. Still enhanced by the Agito Chrysalia Power, Lighting shocked her enemy as she neglected his spell completely." This... This is impossible!"

"I don't have time to make you a believer you prick." Lighting hissed out." With all that's going on your going down in a flash. Eradia Valesti!"

Balder saw the armored pink haired woman unleash her attack and, sensing the power form it winced before he used his own magic to freeze the projectile in its place. Seeing Lighting's shock caused him to grin." Foolish girl, just bend the knee to your master already and you might get the Masters forgiveness enough to be a Black Swan!"

He raised his hand to try and attack only for someone to grasp it, and glanced to see that the person was Velvet.

The woman transformed into a " Therion" glared at the man in white before hissing out," We don't need the forgiveness of you, your boss or any man you pompous bastard!"

"You wretched, GUH!"

He tried to attack only for Velvet to suddenly have her arm transform to its demonic nature and grasp him by the face before he could react. The moment he realized what was going on she unleashed a energy blast from her hand in his face.

The blast hit him hard enough to cause his freezing spell to falter, allowing Lighting's attack to hit him. As the energy surged through him he screamed out," No, the grace of Rabum Alal will damn you all! You will, AHH!"

Lighting's attack proceeded to vaporize his mouth, and as the rest of him got erased the former l'Cie rolled her eyes." That guy was a big enough blowhard to be Barthandelus 's brother. Whatever. Velvet right? Thanks for helping me shut him up, we got enough idiots that won't stop ranting around here."

"Tsc…I may not be the most powerful one here." Velvet uttered bitterly." But I had to do something besides running around trying to not get shot. I, don't know about a lot of this. Lacus means well, but I trusted Artorius for far longer, and he betrayed me to. They all get to obsessed and loose sight of things."

"Fair enough, but that's why they need us to make sure they don't go off track. I'm not feeling this great plan of Ben's, but I admit things can't just go on as they are now either.

I, have enough faith in him to know he's doing this for the right reasons, just got to stick around enough to make sure we can punch him to his senses if he gets to set in a stupid idea."

Velvet was about to respond when the two ladies saw a pink energy blast heading for them, and realized that Zamasu had unleashed another energy sword wave at Lacus as the fight between the two got more and more intense.

Velvet winced as she saw the energy blast was heading for her, but Lacus widened her eyes in shock and quickly cast a energy barrier to protect her friends, even as she got hit in the wing in the process.

As she landed on the ground she gave Velvet a weak grin before blocking Zamasu's blade thrust, causing the raven haired woman to sigh." Well, her heart does seem to be on the right place.

So, I'll give her and Ben at least till this mess is done with till we can get a clear picture. Just, got to survive this rose haired prick's assault and Ben's buddy that's gotten more malice in him then a Lord of Calamity. Guys, you better be able to able to go all the way."

Lighting nodded, and the two decided to go help Cloud and the others take down Thanatos as Zamasu and Lacus were moving to fast for them to keep up.

Lacus still was only hardly able to stay ahead of her fanatical enemies attacks, and as she parried another barrage of blade thrusts she lashed out with her energy ribbon.

The man with Goku's face easily evaded being hit, only to be shocked to see the ribbon swerve around and from a lasso, tying up his arms.

Lacus saw her opponent looked shocked and tried to stab him in the head, only for Zamasu to smirk, as the energy blades on his hands suddenly shot upwards to slice into Lacus 's sword arm.

As the angel screamed in pain Zamasu just snickered darkly." Come now child, did you think you were the only one that could control your energy? A shame, you are of a elegant frame, if so severely misguided. Oh I know, for my reward I'll have Rabum Alal remold your mind to my liking."

"Like hell, I'll die before letting you make me your slave!"

"How amusing, you so strongly oppose being controlled, and yet that's precisely what you choose to do with your universe? And some heathens say I'm hypocritical."

"Its not the same! I know its clearly easy to misunderstand but we are not trying to turn everyone into some hive mind race like the Borg, the Reapers, the Flood, and all those other machine races. We are just trying to give people a new sense that can evolve how people interact! Is it that wrong to try and help people just because it will lead to something that's never been done before?"

"You don't have to preach to the choir about trying to change things woman. I was begging for my peers to push mortals in a different direction for eons! But Gowasu and all the others were to afraid of "disrupting order" to push the unwashed masses hard enough for enlightenment to stick!

That's when I learned that Zannacross shared my disgust, and thus I joined the true enlightened ones to bring true justice to existence! There, are some gaps in my memory but it seems the Beyonder has planned to pick up his mission. And so true reformation will begin, once the Zero Mortal Plan is completed!"

"Your to fool of yourself Zamasu, its to cruel to damn those who did nothing wrong. We are going to help the innocent while preventing the corrupt from dragging down those around them as much as possible."

"Tsc, your just deluding yourself to make yourself not feel like a monster child, if you just embraced your superiority like me you would feel so much better! You think you can only punish the corrupt when at their core humanity, no, all mortals are corrupt?

You give corruption far too much credit, evil does not inform good. It sullies it, like so many humans and others like the Saiyan's sullied their worlds with violence, such as that arrogant Goku that sullied reality by swinging at the divine.

Mortals receive the divine gift of intellect, the potential for wisdom, but they misuse to destroy the beauty of creation.

Mortals do not succumb to evil, they are the evil. They create it, and spread it with minds they shouldn't possess. How can we call ourselves holy messengers if we watch this plight and do nothing to stop it?

"You have to forgive those who make mistakes as long as they show a shred of willingness to change. You, you don't even understand why people get angry or sad, or bitter or anything else! I know what drives people to sin, I was a sinner before with my weakness, that's why I know how to help people from making the same mistakes!"

"Tsc, I know all to well about how anger Lacus Raystar! Like everything else mortals abuse what was handed down to them by god. Yet I know the core concept very well. I admit for a while I was blind to how people like Goku could get so strong despite their savagery, but I was forced to relearn the core concept of turning anger into power.

It's a ugly method that only a mortal could think up, so I tried to repress it. But after fighting on the same side as Zannacross 's army of demons and other denizens of the darkness. And it was easy it enough to channel all the rage I had!"

Zamasu had his energy surge before he had it flow into his right hand."Yes, anger at the mortals who disrespect the universe. Anger at my " peers" who overlook this out of weakness."

Lacus saw her zealous opponent form his energy blade again, before shocking her by stabbing his other hand with it, and just widening his eyes eagerly at the move." But most of all anger at myself for not having the power to correct this disgraceful injustice!"

Zamasu screamed fanatically, before he grasped his energy blade to hurt himself further. His aura surged further from the stunt, and he pulled out his hand, and now had the energy morph into a scythe of energy.

Lacus braced herself as the pink haired man had his aura unleash a shock-wave that knocked her back a few feet before she saw the new weapon being pointed at her." Look you sinful appetizer! When the divine turn anger into power, it can reshape reality! If anger can produce such powerful results for mere mortals, then feel the anger of the strongest force there is!"

The deranged villain swung his new weapon at Lacus, and instantly launched a energy wave from it. Lacus managed to flash step out of its path.

She saw that the attack was strong enough to carve through the barrier the Beyonder had over the battle ring, and go on to cut into one of the planets past it before she grasped her healed arm tightly." Your going to learn the hard way your not nearly as high on the food chain as you think you preaching prick! After all, the reality is that Cosmos bestowed me as higher on the angel food chain then you! Burst Stream of Destruction!"

The Warrior of Light swiftly unleashed her energy attack, only for Zamasu to casually slice the projectile in half with his scythe. He raised it at Ben's girlfriend before he charged at her." You gaining such a title is just proof that heaven to is corrupt, and must be part of the purge! You can only delay fate so long, so submit or die!"

Lacus evaded a few more slashes and tried to cast a barrier around her self to ward her fanatical attacker off, only for Zamasu to put even more power into his swing and slash right through the barrier.

The armored Enji screamed in pain as the weapon of raw energy pierced her armor, hit her in the right side of the chest, and went through her before Zamasu slammed her the ground.

Seeing her moan in pain just caused the fallen Kai to sprout an even wider sadistic look as he leaned down." If your are the embodiment of humanity, then your also the embodiment of all woman's sinful folly since Eve defied the will of god! Woman, the choice is yours. Repent for your kind's collective sin or join them in their final judgment!"

Having all she could handle of her enemy's dismissive taunts caused Lacus to have her rage explode before growling out." I'm going to go for option C, which involves ripping your self-absorbed face off! Persona Armatization!"

Zamasu winced as he saw his target's eyes glow white, and he tried to strike before a explosion of energy blasted him into the air. As he stabilize himself Lacus growled, and emerged in her new fusion between her and the Blue-Eyes-Chaos MAX Dragon.

Zamasu had observed her fight with Kefla before, and seeing her grow at him caused him to narrow his eyes." Ah, betraying your true nature and resorting to brute force are we? That may have worked among fellow savages but I assure you that it won't, GUH!"

In the blink of an eye Lacus lashed out with her make shift tail made out of the Oath-Keeper, and " returned the favor" by stabbing him, or more like harpooning him in the gut. Lacus reeled him into her like she was reeling a fish before she barraged him with all four of her claws while screaming out,"Did I say I was joking around Zamasu? Your not going to win and that's not for debate! Godly Berserk Sixty Four Strike Fury Divination!"

Lacus saw Zamasu gather his energy and proceeded to unload him with a savage barrage of strikes, attacking so brutally that the man with Goku's face did not even have time to strike back.

The explosion of energy and sudden change shocked everyone who was not with her when fighting Kefla, Acacia, Ragyō and the rest, and upon hearing the monstrous roar that he and the other Enji Masters encountered when he helped Minato subdue, and then seal the Blue-Eyes White Dragon over a decade ago, Master Yamamoto saw Lacus 's current state and nearly turned pale." What madness is this? Its, almost like Lacus has once more become a Jinchūrik with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Terra saw the senior Enji and many of the others look alarmed before she smiled." Don't worry Master Yamamoto, its not as bad as it looks. The Beyonder created a clone of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and one of our enemies enhanced it with dark magic.

But, thanks to the aide of Philemon, the Supreme Kai of dreams, Lacus was able to connect with the soul of the real Kisara and use it to take over the clone.

With her new powers she was able to turn the clone into a Persona and fuse in a new way, one where she is in control. I know it's a lot to take in but, it seems to have worked so far."

Ben was so shocked at the sudden change in his girlfriend that Doug smashed him in the face. As he went flying Shinryudramon caught him.

As the two saw Lacus brutally barrage Zamasu Ben's Digimon partner patted him on the shoulder." Don't worry Boss, I know it looks like when she was going nuts in the past but this time Lacus is in control, I promise."

Ben paused to response, and saw Lacus burst by. As he saw the woman he loved fly by he realized despite her transformation her eyes looked normal. And as he realized her aura still felt the same he smiled." Lacus…so this is what you meant by changes? Well, I meant it when I said I trusted you, so I know you got this."

The owner of the Star Sword for a moment wondered about going to help Lacus with Zamasu, before Shinryudramon suddenly blocked a incoming energy attack with his shield that knocked him back, before he saw Doug still having a wild eye in his look." Damn Lacus let the dogs out eh bro?

Heh, your gal can go nuts but she's going to be tamed by a real man one way or another before this is done Ben! Rage as hard as you want, try and screw things around as tightly as you can but the laws of nature are going to lay down the law and your going to all have to see how things are once and for all!"

"Damn it Doug." Ben seethed out furiously." I'm not going to accept how things are even if that's how things have been since forever! I'm going to force the universe to change no matter how many stubborn guys like you resist!"

"Tsc…not even the "ultimate" hero can change some things Ben, no matter how much you try and play god! I'm going to make you, all the angels, and everyone else see how things really are, once and for all!"

"Like hell you are!"

Ben shouted out furiously as he and Shinryudramon rejoined Ezan and the other hero's from other worlds like Toriko, Captain Marvel, and more who were unleashing everything they could to prevent Doug from going through with pushing the Incursion along.

Lacus paused her onslaught to watch Ben and the others, and that was just enough time for Zamasu to break free. The first Battle-World Champion coughed up blood before he realized his leg was broken, and yelled out with outrage.

As his aura exploded he glared at Lacus." You will pay dearly for this you wretched, filthy, whore! Rage as much as you want, your power will never destroy ultimate divine glory!"

Lacus saw Zamasu 's body start to heal before she growled out," As great as Goku was as a fighter I never recall hearing he had the power for his body to heal on his own. But, guess there is nothing natural about you."

"That's right woman, I'm as distinct as they come!" Zamasu answered smugly as his power exploded even more till he condensed his energy into his hands." I want you to listen to me very carefully heretic. For your persistence insolence and repeatable fronts towards a deity. You will now suffer THE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS! Ka…ma…ha…ma…HA!"

Lacus saw Zamasu unleash a massive dark pink variation of the Kamehameha energy beam. Lacus saw it was even larger than the one he fired at her and Ben the first time they met, and just took a deep breath." You're the one that should listen carefully Zamasu, and realize the price for trying to take what I love away from me! Divine Perdition Flare Burst!"

The now four armed woman had her own energy explode before unleashing her massive beam of light. Zamasu saw the attack collide and as he was pushed back a little he snickered." Please, your power failed to kill the fused Saiyan, it can hardly defeat a transcended being like, huh? What!?"

Lacus had her energy attack grow twice in size before she roared out," Unlike before, this time I don't have any part of me that does not want to kill you!"

"You wretched, no, NO!"

Zamasu saw how angry Lacus truly was, as her attack overwhelmed the Super Black Kamehameha Wave. As the pillar of light consumed him Zamasu screamed as the blast went on to break through the barrier.

The Beyonder saw the attack heading for his castle and snickered as he raised a hand and formed another golden barrier. To his shock the barrier was broken, and as he saw a chunk of his Wahrwelt castle get vaporized he grit his teeth before he waved his hand to have the damage repaired in an instant.

He then saw Lacus breathing hard and chuckled darkly." I see Cosmos did give her prized pet quite a lot of "Oomph." But even if Lacus Raystar is your favorite child at the moment, no adopted child of destiny can ever compared to the one who's truly fated to succeed god, to succeed existence itself! Still, I'm glad this has not been a boring show, but its time to show who the true superior being is, eh my champion?"

A gurgled scream was the only response given, for as the light faded the Beyonder, Lacus and everyone in the area saw that Zamasu had his entire right side vaporized from the blast, aside from his severed right hand.

The man who now had half of Goku's face yelled in horror as with half a mouth he rasped out a nearly incoherent," What, what did you do to me vile woman?"

"Just gave you the fate you deserve." Lacus answered ruthlessly." You can only blame your own ego for only realizing how very mortal you are before you die. Now you, huh?"

Zamasu suddenly laughed madly as his eye glowed, and his body slowly begun to regenerate he hissed out," Now do you see who's ego has blinded them child? That was a painful blow, but a mere blow never the less! Because I'm not mortal, but immortal!"

Lacus saw her target completely recover before she narrowed her eyes." So you really have a body like mine do you? I'll just have to hit a little harder next time to vaporize every last pompous cell you have. Stubborn as you are, you don't have the power to take me down Zamasu."

"Is that so? Well, I beg to differ, but if one of me is not enough, I must have the vision to do something to change that yes?"

Lacus tensed up as Zamasu 's eyes glowed, before the severed hand started to twitch, and suddenly regenerate to a complete Zamasu. The Enji saw the two grin at each other before she blurted out," What is this, some sort of variation of the Shadow Clone or Light Clone spell?"

"You think I resort to the power of mortals? Using my power I gained from being bestowed the Schrift from Rabum Alal, I was given V, for the Visionary! As long as I put enough energy into it I can make my thoughts become reality!

And I was forced to admit your brutish antics are making you more of a hassle then I would prefer! Thus, if a fusion between savage sinners like you can be so powerful, it will be even greater for someone like me!"

"Wait what, you want to fuse with Doug?"

"That's rich but most extremely definitely no." The new Zamasu uttered as he went for his left earning." As wild as he is, I wont sully myself by mixing my grace with even more mongrel blood. No, there is no one more suited to aide me, the one I can depend on most of all is me, myself and I! And so, the only way to be even more perfect is to fuse with myself! Be content my unruly child, you will die at the hands of a true miracle!"

Lacus swore as she saw both enemies take off one of their earrings, but in the split second that she tried to figure out who to focus on, the Potara fusion activated and the two bodies slammed together, unleashing a explosion of purple energy. As the light faded Lacus tensed up before seeing a new figure was now flying above her.

After fusing with himself Lacus saw her enemy's looks mostly were the same, though his attired had changed slightly to have a more regal look to him. He also donned the half-infinity symbol that Doug, and all the other Dimensional Nihilo Generals had before he suddenly donned two ring like halo's of light around his shoulders.

As a wild look formed in his eyes the Fused Zamasu had his energy surge with enough force to cause the entire battle arena to crack." Yes, I can feel it, to radiant wills melting into one, to become even more radiant!

Behold this ultimate vessel. The sword and shield made one. Its strength knows no limits. The power coursing through me is exceptionable, glorious, absolute. Stare in awe, I AM JUSTICE INCARNATE!"

"More like you become idiocy incarnate Zamasu." Lacus roared out furiously." Two blowhards merging together just means your fall from grace is going to be even farther!"

Lacus tried to charge at her transformed foe and in less than the span of a second was above him. But before she could strike a surge of energy erupted out of her target to push her back.

The huge purple entity from pure ki, took the shape of a monstrous bird, and as it roared at Lacus her opponent snickered out," Know your place once and for all Lacus Raystar! This is no delusion, I am justice given form! I am the will of the universe! Now venerate the most noble, most splendid, immortal, and most supremely part of the divine hierarchy of them all!

Me, the beautiful, the sublime... Me, the invincible, the almighty and divine... ZAMASU! Perhaps a further demonstration of my power will help you face the truth? Blades of Judgement!"

From the halo on his back, Zamasu fired a barrage of red energy blades Lacus had her arms and legs punctured and before she could even fall to the ground the Dimensional General unleashed a blast of purple lighting.

Taking delight in hearing Lacus grunt in pain Zamasu once more formed a purple energy blade from his hand and had it become an energy scimitar before he continued to have Blades of Judgment rain down on Lacus." Your clearly to stubborn to be enlightened so your fate will be what enlightens the others eh?

Your self-healing powers are indeed formidable. However, are they as grand as mine? Will you be just fine if I sever your head? Will you become two sinners? Only one way to find out, and either way it will be a good lesson, for me!"

Lacus roared in defiance but Zamasu just unleashed purple lighting and Blades of Judgment blasts at once to keep her down as he dived down to try and decapitate her. But before he could try he saw a blue beam hit him, and freeze his blade arm.

A barrage of other energy attacks headed for him, including a Ultima spell, but the purple bird like mass of energy neutralized all of the attacks.

Zamasu glanced up to see that Terra, Milla and many of her friends had come to her aid before Collette glanced at the man fused with himself and brandished her Chakrams." Even Mithos, Dhaos and the other fallen angels did not abuse the light as much as you! Someone as self-absorbed as you has no right to judge Lacus like that monster! Grand Cross!"

"That's right, we won't let a madman like you hurt her! Ultima!"

As Lacus's teammates and others like Milla, Magilou, Mitsuru, Aegis, Muzét and more unleashed all the power they had at Zamasu, the fallen Celestial one just sneered as his purple avatar merely smashed the majority of the projectiles into the ground before looking at the Enji with contempt." Your loyalty to your mistress is amusing, but worthless when your all just loyal sheep defending your Shepard! Don't worry, you can die with your beloved master!"

Zamasu unleashed another burst of purple lighting at the ladies, only for Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel to jump in front of the Enji.

Both super hero's used their powers to absorb the lighting, and as Wonder Woman had all the lighting in her area be absorbed by her magical bracelets the Amazon member of the Justice League glared at the madman in front of her." I don't know much about this Lacus Raystar so I am hardly a " blind sheep".

However Zamasu, I have my doubts about her and Ben Auro's end goal, but I know your madness must not be allowed to continue!"

"Hell yah!" Carol Denver yelled out as she used her "Binary" power to absorb her portion of the blast and channel it into her fists." I don't need to know much to know you're a asshole! Get ready to get atomic flavored humble pie be shoved down your throat prick!"

Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel both unleashed the absorbed energy into a massive energy blast that was powerful enough to shatter the avian purple construct. Zamasu glared at the woman that were defying him before he raised his free hand into the air." Damn sinners, you think you can overwhelm me? Kneel before your god or perish!"

"I met a lot of so called "God's" Zamasu!" Captain Marvel sharply retorted." You're not even in my top ten so get ready to join the trash pile!"

Nonsense, every last one of you can swarm me at once just so you can burn away in the face of divine radiance! Divine W…huh?"

Zamasu prepared to unleash his wrath at all of the hero's in front of him, till he hear a roar from below, and saw the Oath-Keeper heading for him. On instinct he blocked the glowing white sword with his own blade, only to see Lacus bursting for him.

The Enji had freed herself while her friends covered for her, and as Zamasu prepared to attack she grasped his hands with her upper claws.

As her opponent looked outraged her lower hands surged with holy energy." Zamasu, your going to have to face up to just how divine you really are! Even if you were given immortality, you merged with Goku's soul or somehow took his DNA into your own. With my power, if I focus I can divide your soul from all that you bound it to!"

"Nonsense, you can't do that!"

"Guess we are going to find out who's higher up on the celestial pyramid Zamasu!"

Lacus grasped Zamasu by his head and discharged holy energy directly into his body. The man with Goku's face yelled in pain as rays of holy energy burst out all over his body.

For a few moments it looked like Lacus 's magic was taking effect as steam was coming out of her target's body and he was glowing more and more as cracks formed on his face.

But as Zamasu saw his body crack he screamed with rage as the symbol on his head shined with energy and the Vollständig grew in size before he hissed out," No, my vision, will NOT be denied by such a hypocritical sinner! I WILL NEVER LOSE TO YOU LACUS RAYSTAR!"

The Dimensional General had his aura explode with enough force to blast Lacus off of her. As the transformed woman landed on her feet she saw that her spell did have some effect, as while Zamasu was still around he was breathing heavily, and holding his face tightly. His face started to ripple more before it rippled, and turned green.

Zamasu moaned as his entire body turned green, and his face changed to have gray irises, and white hair and a shorter nose. As his face changed shape Lacus noticed he now looked more like Kabito Kai and some of the other Kai's she talked to before she raised a eyebrow." So, that's your true face Zamasu? You really do look like the other Supreme Kais, though without the madness that your eyes have.

Now that your charade is exposed, you can't hide behind the powers of nobler men serving as the foundation for your twisted genocidal ideals!"

Zamasu snickered darkly as his eyes widened." Nobel men? I see you clearly never met Goku woman! Otherwise, you never would have given that savage such a term!"

"I admit he is not the most, refined man but his heart was true, and his resolve brought justice to the wronged."

"Hah, that's just a façade! Goku's noble acts were only a result of luck, of fate pushing him in the direction of justice before it blew in the other directions! Goku's lust for battle was a devastating force upon the universe!"

"What, you mean about Majin Buu? Its true he should have handled that better but from what I heard if he did not fight Vegeta when he did things could have gotten worst and Buu could have been released anyway."

"Heh, you really are in the dark eh child? History does love to idealize their legends! Buu was just the start! That Saiyan heathen's sin was so great that he was on the verge of carelessly dragging the entire universe in to chaos simply to fulfill his impulses! While absorbing Goku's body indeed gave me a boost in power I did not take his face just for that.

No, I put his face over mine under my free will to show the face of mortal sin and lies! From what it seems like your former comrade Doug Fitter shares many of the same traits as Goku. No matter the time period, and even across various species, the taint of mortals runs to the universes core.

That's why, your delusional half measures to "reform" humanity will fail as much as the efforts of my former kin, the naïve Supreme Kais and all the other angels I once saw as my "peers" all failed.

Humanity's failure is absolute, they don't deserve mercy nor forgiveness, just extermination! You think your own method is better just because its slower? Nonsense, your still trying to purge the heathens and you don't even have the heart to be honest about it!"

Lacus winced as she thought over all the times she and Ben debated the Homeostasis's Axiom Connection before she winced." It all depends on what you think amounts to killing. Was it a genocide when man replaced the Neanderthal?

Guess, it depends on who you ask. It may be impossible to please everyone but, we are making a push to do what's right for all the people who suffer at the hands of the greedy and the ignorant.

We don't claim to be gods, we don't have all the answers, but something has to be done to change things. If problems from our ideas arise, we will just adapt till we land with something that works. That way at last everyone's hearts will be, huh?"

A flash of light cut her off before she saw the Beyonder move one of the planets into the edge of his created reality, and saw Doug laughing madly as he helped propel the planet higher and higher with his new massive energy.

As Lacus winced at seeing her friend's eyes being that of pure madness Zamasu looked amused." Looks like a verdict is about to be reached on the state of man eh woman? Your comrades rage is about to consume everything you hold dear. Tell me, will you kill your so called comrade to assert your dominance? It would appear, you will have to choose soon."

Lacus remembered how Ben reached out to her before she smiled." Your wrong Zamasu, when the options given to you are not what you want, sometimes you have to make your own choice.

Ben was able to save me when I thought my fate was sealed, and if he could do that I know we can bring Doug back to the light before its to late! We won't let Doug 's darkness unravel everything, but we won't give up on our friend either!"

Zamasu saw the defiance in the woman's eyes before his own burned with raw hate." You truly have that much faith in your lover Lacus Raystar? Splendid, it will be that much more enjoyable to watch it fail. And rest assured it will fail, because no matter what all things fueled by human weakness will fail! Insolent minuscule woman, bear witness as I show you the power of my divine light!"

"I already witnessed it, and it's a joke."

"Damn you…wrenched…failure! A cowering failure who appeases evil can never prevail!"

"Shut up, we are not going to decide who the fraud is with words!"

Zamasu sneered before unleashing everything he had at Lacus and those around her all at once. As much as Lacus wanted to help Ben she had to many attacks thrown at her to have a chance.

At the moment Ben was seeing Doug push the universal destroying event closer and closer to taking off he was forcing himself to think of a way to stop it.

Seeing his friend's tense face just caused Doug to laugh wildly." What's wrong bro? Can't stand losing? With how much you use to lose you really forgot what it's like after a few years of being the savior? You really got out of touch man, cause even the ultimate hero's not going to win forever!"

"Damn it Doug!" Ben shouted out furiously," This is not some game! This is the fate of everything on the line! Is the Beyonder messing with your head so much that you don't even know what's real anymore?"

"Tsc, that's rich coming from you Ben! You're the one who's so out of touch that you forgot what it means to really live! But at this rate your going to learn what it means to die really damn quick!"

"Damn it Doug, even if you don't agree with everything you done if there is anything still in their that is still my friend he never would have thought anything was the price of killing everything he ever knew!"

"That's before I found out I could make a wish of mine come true that before I thought had a snowball's chance in hell of pulling it off! Not like I don't feel anything for what I do, but a real man keeps his promises bro!"

"Is that so Doug? You made a promise to Brad but you broke it when you realized how twisted that promise was!"

Doug had his eye twitch before he roared out furiously,"That's because I bought the act back then Ben, but I'm "Woke" now! I believed in all of that light and justice crap, but now I see that's all just the grand wheel the angels have been spinning to con the honest folk like me and my kin! But the joke's on them, the joke's going to be on everybody cause no cost is to high to make a world free of all of that, once and for all!"

Doug's energy exploded to further heights as he pressed the planet further and further. Shinryudramon saw cracks forming in the sky before he tensed up." No, this is what happened last time!"

Ezan saw this and looked resolutely at Doug."Well then, it seems the time for negotiating is over. Auro… Fitter has made his choice, and unless we want to have everything we care about go down with him, then as it stands for the sake of the mission he must be terminated! Twilight Omega Flare!"

Ben's primary rival had energy of light and darkness come together before unleashing his most powerful energy beam. But the sight of this caused Doug to sneer before he grasped his fist and punched the attack."Try all you want rich boy but your super elite tricks won't do jack to me now! Light, darkness, and the big joke you call twilight means nothing to the power of a true man's rage!"

Doug was pushed back a few feet before his muscles budged and he prepared to smash the beam back. But before he could Shinryudramon flew up and fired his Infinite Exia Ray to help Ezan push Doug back.

Ben's Digimon Partner saw Doug's fury and stood his ground." I'm angry at how things worked out to Doug! But your either crazy or someone's making you crazy for thinking being angry is enough to make you want to break everything there is!"

"Don't you dare think you can lecture me! No matter what you think you were made by the angels to be the savior's loyal lap dog! Guess that's how you think every one should be in your new world eh? Made to be good loyal lapdogs!"

Ben saw the Mega Level Digimon's doubts before he grasped his fist furiously and powered up again."Damn it Doug, your all about condemning me because you think I'm robbing every one of their independence, but then you dismiss Shinryudramon's right to have his own thoughts!

My plan may look as fascist as it can get to you now Doug, but its all so that no one's thoughts are repressed by nonsense driven by sheer ego! Right now that's you, and I'm not going to let your ego destroy everything Doug! Burning, Celestial, Shinryukenha!"

Ben fired his energy beam from the other direction so that Doug was being shot at from three sides. But as he caught all three energy beams he grit his teeth and his entire body turned beet red." And only you get's to decide who's thoughts are worth getting promoted eh bro?"

"You seriously think I'd ever want to micromanage something like that after how much of a pain I had with math tests? Damn it Doug this is not me or me and Lacus being the sole decided of what is good and evil, it's the logical judgment of all the wisest minds in the universe! From the Kree's Supreme Intelligence, the head of the Vulcan Ministry of Thought, The Asari High Matriarch, Reed Richard, Doctor Light , data from the Forerunner's Libarian and more!

This is democratic because it's the smartest people from all cultures across the universe logically deciding the best way forward!"

"So in other words all the elites decide everything in their big Illuminati pool table club while the common man gets squat! Your even dumber than I thought if you thought that would make me get in line Ben!

I don't care if it is the guys and gals who had the top ten to top thousand to top billion test scores in the god damn universe bro! Book smarts don't decide everything, and something's can only be decided by one's gut!

I don't care if I'm the only one who thinks this makes sense, I'm going to see this through! NO MATTER WHAT!"

Doug's energy erupted yet again, with such force that he blew away all the energy blasts vie sheer force. Ben found himself having to swerve out of the way of his own blast, and as the energy swerved past him Doug smashed him in the face before he could even see it coming.

Before Ben even hit the ground Doug burst forward and unleashed a brutal lunge punch to smash Shinryudramon in the gut.

As the Mega Level Digimon staggered back the moment Doug's fist left his target's body the powers he gained from his Ultra Instinct state not only caused him to sense energy heading for him, but sensed something from the ground and jumped up.

He saw black flame like spikes erupt underneath where he stood, before he felt a gravitational force push him backwards.

He swerved around to see Ezan bursting for him with the Nu-Epyon surging with black flames and lighting.

Doug observed Ezan attacking with his Judgment Burst strike and just laughed as he caught the blade with his hand.

The bald man looked gleefully at the armored Enji as he showed his hand was not phased at all by either the flames, the lighting or the energy as he slowly pushed Ezan's blade back." You can try and be as sneaky as you want Ezan, but no matter what your eye becomes or what spell you do, your going to learn the hard way your not the most elite warrior around anymore!"

Doug slugged Ezan in the chest, using the power of his Equalizer Vollständig to cancel out Ezan's phase power and hit him hard enough to cause a shock-wave. Doug took delight at hearing cracking sounds and barraged Ezan again and again." You were just a tool made by that elite stiff Garma Kaiba! Your not a real man Ezan! Not if your down just being a wind up puppet soldier and letting someone else point who you fight! For all your pride you don't have the pride of a real man so you will never win! Time to show who the real man really, huh?"

Doug saw a energy blast come his way and snarled before roundhouse kicking it away, seeing it was a Finish Buster blast from Trunks. Doug saw X, Aeris, Zero, Samus, Robotnik, Green Lantern, Toriko, Noctis, Cyclops, and more unleash various attacks at him from all directions before he snarled and unleashed a barrage of lighting fast punches to batter every last one of them away.

"You can all come at me at once," Doug snarled with outrage as his pace open increased." I'll take down every last one of yah to show who the manliest man of them all is!"

Doug prepared to unleash a attack before he saw fire erupt around him. He saw a Ax of raw magma heading for him and caught it with one hand before seeing Axel at the source.

The former Dark Enji glared at his co worker with disgust."Damn it Doug, you been spending so much of the last few years barking at everyone like a wild dog that you forgot what man is! Magma Gale!"

Doug saw the man with red hair unleash a blast of Magma at him, only for him to punch through the magma with the raw force of his punch." Nah, nah you're the one who's spent so much time being a whipped dog that you forgot what being a man is! You all forgot cause my holy bro here suckered you good. So good that it seems the only way to break it, is to break reality itself!"

The corrupt Enji prepared to punch Axel with all his might, only for Ben to burst through the flames and block the block with the Star Sword.

The force of the collision was so great that it blew all the flames away, but while Ben was pushed back he stood his ground while yelling out a furious,"Don't blame them for what they did not do Doug!"

"Fine with me, just be a man and get what you deserve for trying to brainwashing everyone to be your patsy's!"

"I did not brainwash them Doug, they are resisting you out of their own free will! You're the one who's hollering how free will is the most important thing of all when you only value it when its your freedom!"

"I'm going to break a rib every time you think someone who wants to tell everyone what to do has the right to say what freedom means! Your ego's swallow bro, its just to bad popping it might pop the universe as well but that's the breaks."

"Damn it Doug, at least be angry at something that's not a delusion! Your acting like I'm someone like Weil Zabi who wants to own everything and is trying to screw everyone over just to be god. But this is not what I wanted, but what everyone wants!

I did not invent the tech for this plan, the various tools were all created by people who wanted these things already, funded by people who wanted them to make it! I'm doing this because that's what the people, as a whole, wanted the direction of the universe to go! They may not be able to agree on it but that's what we are trying to figure out! "

"And so your just going to decide the answer is to control them till they are how you and your inner circle are happy! Because if you had the nerve to get out of your bubble Ben, you would find plenty of people who won't agree with this!"

"Damn it Doug, people in a town can spend years bickering back and forth the right way to fix a bridge, and in the end they will only decide a answer when someone agrees to make a decision! In the end, those who know what they are doing have to cut through all the nonsense."

Doug snarled out as he tackled Ben and tried to twist his sword arm while seething out,"And who decides what's nonsense bro?"

"That's what any leader worth a damn does Doug, he does his or her job because the people around them can't get it done! A leader cuts through all the mindless nose to make progress! That's what facts and logic's for Doug! In order for anything to get done, all the mindless noise, all the people that don't know what they are talking about but won't back down because of their damn pride have to be taken out of the equation. If every idea is taken seriously, nothing will and only by kicking out the nonsense will things be able to come together.

This plan, will at last prevent the wrong people from having their way."

"Heh, so that's what it all comes down to, the smart vs the dumb eh? The elite, always trying to look down on the little guy! You always wanted to be a elite eh Ben? I known you enough by now that when you wanted to be a hero, it means you wanted to be loved and wanted by the elite!

Yah you do legit care about helping people, but honestly as hard core as you are about being a hero, sometimes it feels more like you don't want to look bad at your job! After all we talked about I know your entire life you always wanted to be in the in-crowd! That's why while you made friends with all the hero's, the leaders, and their pals.

Meanwhile you never bothered to make friends with the staff at Hallowed Bastion! You were so dead set on wooing Lacus, then aside from when Larxene was yanking your chain when she was posing as Lisa, you did not even bother noticing Sally."

"I don't even know who that is Doug."

"Piff…Sally was the girl who had a crush on you when you joined the Enji dude! She was nothing special either in looks or skills but she was reliable enough with getting stuff done within her means. Then during your time when Idious was on the throttle you killed her without a second thought.

Yah…that was the darkness stuff and Kira and Zannacross and whatever, but you resisted for Lacus even though she was still at the time spending most of the time giving you the cold shoulder! You may not have hated Sally but you did not really give a damn about her either! Tsc, you never really gave a damn about anyone that was not special to you eh bro?"

"Damn it Doug, don't just assume things! That's right, I remember her now. But it was nothing personal, she just did not have anything that made me attracted to her."

"Heh, so I guess that meant under your new order because she was not special you would not give a damn about what she wanted eh? I know you enough by now to know you spent your entire childhood dreaming to be one of the elites to be good enough for Lacus.

But I never cared about getting the elite's attention Ben, I just wanted to be strong enough to not need them and get all the smug pricks to back off and let me be! And that's just what I'm doing right now!

All that mattered to me is if a person was trustworthy and fun enough to be around. But your out to crush all that to make everyone a damn hive-mind bot treating them like they are to worthless to have a say!"

"Damn it Doug just because you don't fill someone in on something it does not mean you think they are worthless! Its just that you know they don't know anything on the issue so their is no point to ask them! Its like if every one who had stocks had to be asked about hedonic price models for every business transaction!"

"You think you can just make up words to prove your point Ben?"

"I did, because you just proved you don't know how markets work! People already are obvious to how so much of the world around them works and some still think they know what's right on everything just out of sheer ego!

People who are skilled at something should be consulted about what they know, but people who don't know they are talking about should not be able to guide things out of sheer ego! Its not killing anyone, its just preventing disasters from unfolding Doug!"

"Tsc...never trusted those damn Bankers and there sneaking! And even if that's true dude, a man's stocks and a man's will is a whole other matter! Even if you don't kill anyone's body your still going to erase everyone's mind and soul! And if you think that's not as bad then your more lost then I figured!

That's why if your plan goes through the universe is dead anyway, so might as well hit the punchline before the joke gets old."

"Damn it Doug, maybe that's your point of view but it's the wrong one! Even if it might every well change how people interact I know it will be for the better! And even if it's a risk Doug, things have to change Doug! It can't keep going on as they are!

We saved the universe from being consumed by darkness, but if we just let things stay as they are like how Serenity, Siegfried and the people of their era did after Seiya gave up everything to stop Zannacross back then, then the eruption of rage and despair could really destroy everything!

People have been wondering again and again what is the" Self"…what is "Life"? Most of the time they died without finding their answer, and that's why human history has been people trying to get that answer again and again because they were unhappy with how things were.

They had the courage to blaze down the path to gain the light of hope and size glory to bring progress, to reform things to make things better. But after all the glory had faded, only then did people realize that the hope of evolution failed to give them what they wanted.

That despair, from culture to culture, ignited a fury that often burnt everything around them, and only after a new generation was born that were blissful enough...or more like arrogant enough to dismiss history so that the the cycle would repeat.

It repeated again and again, and this spiral of hope and arrogant pride spins around again and again, gaining more momentum.

Doug, if it keeps going, society is going to hit a term some of the older angels have dubbed the" Spiral Nemesis", an apocalyptic event where the universe is destroyed by overwhelming rage. Unlike Zannacross it would not be a planned destruction, it would just be total chaos, ultimate destruction."

"Piff…and your just going to let some story shape you Ben?"

"They were right about the last story they said! Besides Doug, its not just a theory, because what your doing now is the Spiral Nemesis! Your going to destroy everything because you refuse to reign in your pride!

I never wanted it to be this way, but you're the biggest proof of all that something has to change, and for the universe to evolve and not regress, my "Anti-Spiral" plan that I been working with everyone must go off!"

"Tsc, you seriously don't hear how your sounding Ben? You're the joke if you calling yourself the hero when your sounding just like all the guys we fought that wanted to destroy us! Someone who has no faith or respect for the people he's supposed to protect!"

Ben's eyes only hardened as he retorted with an steely," Doug, I'm the champion of the Universe and all the people in it, not just humanity. The cold hard truth is that, no matter how much they want to deny it, so many people are hopeless.

I tried to have faith in as many people as I could, but after seeing how much of a tyrant Weil Zabi was, I found people were eagerly ready to elect even worst people to lead them! Do you know how depressing it was to see only a few years after his death even some of the people who lived under him were nostalgia for him, and nearly elected another populist blowhard till we intervened?

You expect us to have faith in the same people that let one leader lie them in to horrors and con them into screwing themselves over, only to elect some spray tanned lunatic who's even worst only a few years later, forgetting everything and diving right in to all but unleash hell just because they are so oblivious to everything that they only chase after whatever sound bite makes them feel good, reality be damned?

Doug, I know not everyone's evil, but the sad truth is that even after the people who's hearts had more darkness in them then light got purged with Zannacross, humanity showed that to many people that if not are outright evil, are to selfish, ignorant, and greedy and drag everyone around them with their arrogance and pride.

Zannacross lost Doug, but humanity was going to change either way, but the war between light and darkness was never against change or no change, just how humanity would change.

It was just...in a more slower way that had more compassion. Its like when ever big changes effect society. People are going to be upset but you try and make the obsolete ones feel as good as you can as the changes take root.

This is no genocide Doug, just evolution done smoothly, as the old race is phased out, just like the Neanderthals were, like upgrading a computer with all the old parts transforming into something better.

This way, the good people will be able to move forward, and the ones that will never find happiness can find peace at last, in that sense everyone wins."

"That's bull Ben, and you damn well know it! You don't have a bit of pride in being human at all eh?"

"I have pride in those who are good Doug, without a doubt. But I won't feel bad at all if there are no more people who are abused, who are tormented, who are killed, who cause genocide while deluding themselves into thinking it's a game of winner take all!

What possible reason could lead you to think it would be a good thing for people to suffer just so some can feel important? If I can pull this off, there won't need to be hero's after me, because it will be a world where people won't need a Superman!

I said that people won't need dreams, but that won't mean I'll repress their thoughts, it just means that it will be a civilization that if done right, will be a place where no one is a outcast Doug! Where no one's life is so bad that they are only happy when they are dreaming a fantasy that can never be reality!

My dad's brother, my mom's sister, they were honest men and woman like you but never found their place! If they did, it was a place that they were bitter about their entire lives. They were not bitter enough to hold grudges but were so broken that they spend their entire life resentful and bitter!

I did not do anything to push them to like my plan, they want me to do this because they want to have a life where they are not isolated!

Would it not be ideal if people did not have to live like that? Damn it, he died before I even knew him but my dad had a brother that had mental issues, and since they did not have enough money they could not fix it so he spent his entire life isolated and miserable!

These people hate their life Doug, and if I could offer them a way to have a better life, one far less lonely and bitter then they would have otherwise, how could it be anything but justice to help them all!?"

Doug saw Ben looked sincerely encouraged before his eye twitched." Man...the thing most pissing me off is that you really are stupid enough to think this is a good idea. All that may be a good sell's pitch but its nothing when its a hand out! I met your dad's bro a few times, and its not to late if he pushes himself, but only if its his choice!

It sucks but cold as it is, they made their own choices even if they did not realize it, and if they need a utopia to bail them out of it then its not their choices.

Maybe its just how I view things but civilization is just putting the woo on people's eyes. When it comes down to it, civilization is based on being a coward. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards of what bravery is. You restrain the will.

You regulate the appetites. You chain up the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breath slowly like a whipped dog, all so you can tame them! But the more you try and deny it, the more it bursts out, like right now!"

"Doug, your so obsessed with your in one's self is important, but if it endangers everything around it is it really pride or just arrogance? This emotion has caused so much death and despair over all of history, and while it has its place their is no doubt in my mind it has to be chained for society to reach the best it can be!"

Ben had the Star Sword glow before he had golden energy swords burst up around Doug and barrage him in all directions. The brown haired man had the blades glow sliver before they all acted to try and suck up Doug's aura and drain his energy.

Doug saw Ben was pushing so hard he was being pushed back before he grit his teeth." You think its either perfection or nothing Ben? Why does anyone go with something that's flawed Ben?

Because it means it relatable, real! A perfect life is a empty life, and in my eyes its not even worth living! Why you think so many robots like Megaman and all the others want to feel those "flawed" things? It's because they want chaos, they want to feel something random, something that's their own!"

Megaman winced at hearing this before the Blue Bomber spat out," I mean, Doug's right but not in that way! Ugh, guess it's the same crazy overkill logic that Sigma, Ultron, Megatron, and all the other mad robots had."

"Point is I had faith humanity could roll along without everyone having their mind shackled to you or any other divine power, till you went and showed what a joke that was!"

"Doug, you're the one who keeps insisting your keeping it real and seeing how humans really are, and yet you still are just saying nothing needs to change? I see how humanity has deluded itself again and again.

The masses just delude themselves over and over again, and the good people suffer again and again because of this! The only path to true justice, is to end the source of this suffering once and for all!

You're the one who's sick of people as they are most of all Doug! That's why we should be working together so that the things that made you suffer in life won't exist anymore!"

"I'm so sick of you thinking your all smarter then this good for nothing deplorable!" Doug roared out with fury as the symbol on his forehead glowed once more. " If you thought I should be in line with you then after all this time you don't know me at all Ben!

What you value and I value is not the same at all…because I don't care about trying to "solve" what's causing me grief because there will always be something Ben, so I just deal with it! You, Lacus, and apparently even more people then I thought are so damn afraid and anxious about what if's that you want to squeeze things so tight so that nothing can happen at all! That's a coward's way out, a real man just accepts there will be hard times and deals with it!"

"And so a real man just destroys everything there is to make the problem go away Doug?"

"A real man lives dude! A man provides for himself, and for his pack! Good, evil, all that really matters is doing what it needs to survive! Even if that means rebelling against all of reality, then so be it! A real man does not have to control everything just because he's to afraid of anything going wrong Ben!

Your already one of the strongest dudes in the universe and the entire realm was cleaned out of all threats and that's still not enough for you guys! Your anxiety is so damn high that you can't feel safe till you control everything and everyone?"

"Damn it Doug, its one thing when you're on your own, but a leader has a extra burden, he has to solve not just his own problems but those that depend on him!"

"That's the main god damn problem! People have gotten so lazy that they don't think for themselves! Hero's, celebrities, priests, all of them! Even politicians are a con, people should only rely on themselves and their pack and not let any outsider tell them how to run there turf!"

"Are you messing with me Doug? Your the one who says I'm naive, but you're the naive one if you think everyone wants to think for them self. We like to think everyone can become a leader when push comes to shove, but sadly sometimes when the wrong person is pushed not only does she or he crash and burn, but those around them burn up to. If the wrong person is in charge at the wrong time, entire cultures can, and have be devestated.

Some people just want to be guided Doug. Sometimes people are in the wrong role because the wrong people control things.

This is the way to make sure that mistake never happens again! Despite the risks, it will all be worth it when it makes things as good as they can be!"

"You really are aiming for everything or nothing eh dude? Well that's the burden you chose Ben, not mine and you chose a stupid as hell choice! You made your choice and I made mine, and now its time to see who's full of it and who's not! But PS…no matter what its going to be me!"

Doug had his aura explode with enough force for all of the swords to shatter. As Ben was knocked back from the shock wave the bald man's arms arms suddenly vibrated before he barraged Ben so fast that the Enji could not respond, but Trunks, Shinryudramon, Axel, Superman, the Hulk, and the others who were trying to swarm him as well.

James saw his comrades all be barraged to fast to strike back before he grasped his wounded arm." Damn it, is the Beyonder giving Doug so much power that he really is invincible? After all of this, to think his rage is this close to burning everything we worked for to ashes."

Before Ramathel could respond James heard a bitter chuckle, and saw a recovered Jacen Solo stagger up to him. The Dark Lord of the Sith walked up to James and gave him a bitter smirk." Trust me, I know how exasperating when the best of plans are unraveled by those you thought you could depend on the most.

Still, I admit Master Elrond, your ideas are more like mine then Luke's then I first assumed. To think, you would seek a even greater level of control over the people then me."

James saw the son of Han Solo giving him a harsh look, and felt the entire platform shake from Doug's attacks before he stiffened up." Don't assume things Darth Caedus…I'm not doing this for glory, but for the future prosperity of my child."

"Heh, you don't have to explain yourself to me" Warrior of Light", trust me, I know all to well how a child changes a future parent's, perspective on so many things. I have no idea if your plan will work, the Force did not always guide me to success. However, as it stands I simply don't want this savage to win.

Even if his body is invincible, I'll wager everything that his mind is clearly not. So listen carefully Master Elrond, I have a plan that may be lower then even C3P0 can calculate but, for the trouble I caused, it's the least I could do."

James saw that Jacen looked sincere, and hear more yells in the distance before he nodded. Before anyone could say more Doug unleashed another wild yell as energy surged in his fists.

He paused as Ezan fired off another Omega Twilight Flare even as others fired attacks as well Doug just uppercut the energy blast with enough force that he shattered it.

As Ben dodged the fragmented energy sent his way Doug suddenly smashed him in the gut hard enough to break a rib or two. Doug then smashed Ben down into the ground to collide into him with such force that he shattered a chunk of the battle ring.

As Ben coughed up blood Doug spat on the ground and kicked him into one of the pillars. Seeing Ben groan, Doug saw the others coming for him and unleashed his aura with such force that everyone around him was weighed down.

As he saw everyone's angry faces in return he looked even angrier, and cracked his knuckle before his right fist exploded with red energy." Time to settle things once and for all Ben! Not just with you, but with the entire damn universe!

I'm a man of my word, and since you all turned your back on me, time I turn my back on everything to be free of your crap! Once and for all! Final…Hell..Kn, huh?"

Doug prepared to charge at Ben with every intent of shattering him with his charged up punch, when suddenly he saw someone walk in front of him. It was a man that was slightly younger then Doug and had a blond mustache and his hair in a ponytail.

The man looked at Doug with a angry look before yelling out,"The hell you doing Doug? Your going to turn your back on your own brother, when you swore on your life that you'd be their for your nephew!?"

For a moment Doug was not sure if the Beyonder was not creating a illusion or if Lacus or one of the others had summoned his brother to try and mess with him before he paused." Damn it, don't give me that look Donnie! If I don't do this you and your kid are dead already you just won't know it yet! You, GUH!"

Doug felt something coming for him and swerved to the right, only to feel a force hold him, just as a searing hot pain erupted out of his right shoulder. Doug blinked before his brother flickered and vanished, and he realized Jacen Solo was in front of him, with his Light-Saber in his arm, and through Doug's own limb.

As Doug roared with rage the fallen Jedi just smirked as his power to make a Force Projection worked."So, a mad dog like you still has feelings? Good to GUH!"

Doug instantly punched his fist through Jacen's chest before snarling out,"I don't know who you are but if that's your hello your going to love my goodbye for being so smug that you thought could sucker me and get away with it!"

Darth Caedus coughed up blood before he snickered." Its not about me, its about doing what's required for the good of the Living Force, the universe, and the desired future! No matter how much has changed, I'll ensure it lives on."

He then unleashed a barrage of Force Lighting that only made Doug flinch. But the bald man was distracted enough for Jacen to unleash his shatter point skill at Doug's bald head.

Doug roared louder before Jacen glanced at Luke, Leia, Jaina and the rest of the people he once saw as family before he smirked."Luke, Jaina, Mother, Master Elrond, I'll entrust everything to you."

Doug grit his teeth and prepared to headbutt Jacen, but the moment he did the man who was both a Jedi and a Dark Lord of the Sith vanished. Doug saw his cloths fall to the ground before he spat on the ground." What's this, another cheap trick?"

Jaina saw her twin vanish before she tensed up." Jacen, what happened!?"

Luke grimaced before giving a wary sigh." Just like with Old Ben Kenobi, he became one with the Force, or whatever is its counterpart in this reality. He, gave up his life to give us a chance."

Leia gave a wary sigh before muttering,"Jacen, at least you died with more humanity then Kylo Ren did."

Mara Jade grasped both Luke and her son tensely before the red haired woman muttered,"Stay sharp farm boy, can't let his sacrifice be in vain."

Doug grasped his head in pain from Jacen's last attack before he saw his attacker's fallen clothing and had his energy explode with such force that he evaporated them. "All of you think your so smart with your damn tricks? Your just cheap cowards, Ben, ALL of you are to afraid to be real men!"

Shinryudramon growled before he got back up and flew above Doug." Now I know you're not really Doug! If you care that much about being a man, that dude gave up his life to save everyone and that's as manly as it gets!"

Doug had his eyes bulge before he snapped back with a furious,"You lecturing me about what it is to be a man Shinryudramon? Your not even a man, just a lapdog! No matter how many levels you " Digivolve" into your still not evolved enough or old enough to have been past puberty to know what a real man's passions are!"

Shinryudramon was quiet for a moment before he grasped his fist tightly and once more powered up to his Judgment Mode. As his new sword formed he pointed it at his crazed teammate." I don't know enough of the details to know if your right or not about that Doug. But I do know that at times even a kid knows when a adult is being a jerk, and now is that time Doug!

Now I know why Lacus is always saying that toxic masculinity is one of the main factors of all conflict in the universe, at least a little bit. One way or another, I'm going to snap you out of it! Verus Explosive Barrage!"

Doug saw a barrage of golden energy attacks heading his way and chuckled bitterly." You were always gutsy man, but without the instincts of a champ, it don't amount to jack. No matter how many forms you change into, your not going to be stronger then me! Not now!"

The Enji chosen to be one of the Beyonder's Divergent Catalysts went to kick away the energy orbs, before the incomplete Shatterpoint strike Jacen landed before he died caused his muscle to twitch, weakening him enough for him to slow down enough for Shinryudramon to close in and bring his sword down at his friend.

As Doug quickly caught the blade with his hands the Royal Knight Digimon cringed as he pushed down with all of his might." If cutting your arm off will snap you out of it, then I'll do what it takes Doug! I can get why you don't like the boss's plan Doug, but I don't get why you would ever hate anything so much that you would want to destroy everything and everyone to be alone! No one can live by their own Doug, not even god!"

"Tsc…well I'm going to change that so I don't have to put up with that crap! Its so much more simpler without having to rely on cons like bonds, friendship, hope and all of that! I'll at last be at peace when its all gone, and your not going to stop me!"

Doug wound up his fist and prepared to try and attack, only to see a flash of light and had a blade form out of his gauntlet as Ben came at him from the right.

As Ben worked with Shinryudramon to push his friend back the head of the Justice Force shouted out," You keep saying I'm naïve and that I'm trying to push for a lie Doug, but your grand plan of a world where you're the only one in it sounds like a joke to me. After all, no one can live alone!"

"Tsc, overlook all those stories about dudes living for years on islands by there lonesome bro? Long as a man has enough resources his entire world can be himself. But keep trying to grasp for your dreams guys, so reality can run you over!"

Doug suddenly dashed backwards and ran around so fast that he left after images all over. Ben heard laughing from all over before he suddenly remembered when he first fought the Chaotic Comedian how he got tripped up by a explosive after image before he saw Shinryudramon prepare to strike and held up his hand.

He then focused before he formed a golden energy blade in his free hand." Its true if a dreamer keeps his or her head in the clouds they can lose sight of reality, but that's why, you have to keep your eyes open so you don't get tripped up!"

Ben threw a energy sword to the right, while also unleashing a Force Push with his other hand in the direction of what looked like the Doug in front of him. Ben motioned Shinryudramon to swerve around with him just as his force push blasted his target into the air.

Ben's hunch proved correct as Doug's image glowed red before exploding with blinding light.

The real Doug was forced to dodge the energy sword that Ben threw and got hit by his own spell in the process.

As Doug cried out Ben slashed him across the chest. It caused blood to flow out but was not deep enough to stop him from roundhouse kicking Ben into Shinryudramon.

As the two rebound Doug grasped his wound and chuckled bitterly." Funny, I don't remember telling that trick to anyone before. What you got one of your new buds here reading my mind or seeing the future?"

"I don't need to Doug, I already saw this before, and after what happened I made sure I was not going to fall for the same tricks twice!"

Doug paused as he realized for the first time that when Ben told him he went back in time, he left out that they fought before he widened his eyes."Wait, you trying to be funny? You telling me, that when you got whopped so bad you had to turn back time, the one who kicked your ass was me?"

Ben saw the shock on Aqua and the others that did not know yet's face before he looked bitterly at the Star Sword." We were already fighting other enemies like Superboy Prime and Zamasu when we encountered you.

I wanted to think the man in front of me then in a jester mask reminded me of you just by chance. That at worst it was a shape-shifter or clone or something.

But, sadly things were a lot worst then I thought with you Doug. It caught us by surprise, but thanks to divine intervention we were able to get a second shot and I'm not going to waste it! I was not able to help you before Doug, but this time I will fix things!"

The Beyonder eyed Ben carefully before he raised a eyebrow." Wait, is Ben Auro babbling nonsense form his injuries or are they implying they already seen my wrath in action and some how are trying to meddle with destiny? But, that's cheating!"

Yabbat shrugged as she closed her eyes." My understanding of what the Enji meant is that Cosmos and the angels aided him in traveling in to the past to try and deny you your glory."

"But, the past...is the past! But wait, I did observe instances in the Steller Memory when people could find what they call " Chrono Breaks " or " Temporal Loopholes" out of the Tachyon particles.

Yes, I can see it now, the memories of those in the past. The present moment…the "now" hurtles from past to future among a stream of energy, and historical events have weight.

Sometimes the weight is vast sometimes so light as to be undetectable. But some events , those with a peculiar unique gravity are caught by the " present" dragged in its wake, like planets about a sun.

Always just a handful of years behind. Yes, strong enough power can cause history to shift, to slide, along with the future, creating echoes. Strong enough echoes, have caused new branches and side streams, alternate histories. Ripples in the main flow that change the past further, altering the present.

I did not even think about it because it seemed like part of the "background" to existence, but if mortals can change time, the one above all can do it without a doubt! Heh, it could be fun to rewrite history so that I always was the Almighty ruler, but I still don't grasp "time" fully so I'll wait till after my contest has been decided to play with that. Still, these meddlers are even bigger cheaters then I thought, so make them pay my champions!"

Doug's head was on the ground as the Beyonder ranted, but he suddenly punched the ground with enough force to shake the entire structure before snarling out," God damn it, your all god damn cheaters!

So I won and you could not handle losing to a real man so you cried to your cosmic mommy and got her to rewind time to try and cheat out the champ what he was due!? Like a sore loser you treated this like a game rom that you could not win legit so you kept using Save States till you got what you wanted!"

"Your acting like this is just some casual game Doug! Everything there is at stake so no risk was to great to fix the problem in."

"YOU'RE THE PROBLEM " BRO"!" Doug roared out with such fury that it cracked the ground around him. " You're the ones that caused this by trying to change the natural order just so it could suit you and your "pack"!

You elites are always, ALWAYS bending the rules to cheat the honest folk from what they deserve! The rules of life, and now time to! But no matter how many ways you try and cheat this Ben, your going to lose! I'm going to win no matter how badly you try to keep me from my due!"

Ben saw his allies surround Doug before he once more had his Kaio-Ken blaze out." Not today Doug. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and especially the needs of one. Just about everyone in the universe wants to make sure your wish never comes true!"

Doug realized he was being barraged in every direction, and as Ben, the Hulk, Superman, Knuckles, The Thing, Toriko and more tried to tackle him to pin him down the bald man unleashed a beastly roar as all of his muscles expanded." To hell with you Ben! To hell with the universe and everyone in it!

Even if others tag along with them for the ride, history is shaped again and again by the will of one strong force. Don't matter if everyone else in existence don't like it, this one normal fella is going to get his way! DEAL WITH IT!"

Doug's entire body turned bright red before his aura erupted like a volcano of raw power. He then unleashed a miniature atomic explosion of sheer manifested energy that not only blew everyone off of him, but blasted the entire area.

Lacus and Zamasu were forced to pause their own fight as the other Dimensional General saw the attack coming for him and hissed out,"Tsc…damn mindless ape!"

Lacus saw the look of her terrified friends and quickly cast a barrier to protect herself and those around her.

As she and all the other Enji with defensive spells did the same most of the barriers held but everyone was blown away by Doug's sheer power. Doug unleashed another wild laugh as he punched his own chest like a gorilla."Who's on top now eh?"

Zamasu snarled as he hurled some rubble off of him, and cringed as he realized that his defensive measures protected some of the Enji by chance he snarled out,"Control that rage mortal, your attacking the wrong side."

"You yanking my chain freak?" Doug yelled out," Who said we are on the same side? I'm on no one's side but my own! Your next once I settle this!"

Doug saw Ben stagger back up, grasping his burnt arm, before the bald man narrowed his eyes. Looking like the raw embodiment of fury Doug's aura flared up once more before he wound up his right fist." That's right, time to break all the lies, all the cons, and make things simple again...make the universe great again! Time to sever all the bonds once and for all."

Ben saw his friend gather more and more energy into his fist before staggering forward." Damn it, don't do this Doug you don't,"

"I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING BEN! You and everyone else are going to have your last moments realize that the guy you all looked down on had the last laugh. At least I'm gonna get what I want, I'm going to win. I'm GOING TO!"

Before Doug could charge to attack a white pillar erupted underneath him, and the entire area around him became frozen in solid ice. As everyone saw Doug suddenly was a ice sculpture Aqua landed in front of him with a solemn look." Doug, you have to calm down and cool off that insane rage of yours!"

The ice held for a moment, before water drops fell a few seconds later, and Doug burst out of the ice with his most deranged look yet. The bald Enji glanced at his girlfriend and just spat on the ground before barking out,"Thought you could give me the cold shoulder Aqua?

I'm so strong now, that even waltzing around in Absolute Zero don't do jack to chaining my momentum!

You can't stop me Aqua, you, Axel, Ben, no one can stop me now that I evened the odds and got the power that I should have had from the start! I'm going to get what I want, and I'm not backing down on my world of Musubi for anyone! My reason is,"

"To hell with this "Reason" nonsense Doug!"

Aqua snapped out furiously." I may not have known the depths of your anger but I still know you as good as anyone has and I know this Reason nonsense is just stuff you spotted here after you arrived here and the Beyonder and his goons put ideas in your head!

You may be a lone wolf Doug, but even if you liked stirring things up you never were a killer! That's why I know this is not you, just some one or another hijacking you for the ride your going to regret!"

Doug paused for a moment before his eye twitched and he grasped his head. He then staggered a bit as the symbol on his head shined again and he surged with power." Don't think you know me, don't think you can control me Aqua!

Till now I thought the idea in the depths of my heart could never be pulled off, till the Beyonder gave me a option I never thought I would have! And if it's the only way to flip the cosmic table, then so be it, no cost is to high."

"That's a lie and you know it Doug! I respected you, I fell in love with you because you were as prideful as Max, and refused to be anyone's pawn! And here you are doing just that like a sucker!"

"I'm no sucker girl! I'm not his pawn, it's a deal between men! I don't expect you to understand but this will allow me to grant my wish, that's all that matters to me now! What you care anyway? You were all but ready to ditch me before this started anyway!"

"I was tempted yes, but I still wanted to make things work, and I still do! That's why I want to help you before you do something you will regret for the rest of your life!

No matter what the Beyonder has on you, I refuse to believe that the true wish you had in the depths of your heart was to kill everyone and everything so you could spend the rest of your life alone!"

Doug paused for a moment before his eyes went erratic." Lots of people assumed a lot of things about a lot of people over the years Aqua, and it cost them big time. I'm not the man you or anyone thought I am, and if your in the way of what I want I swear your going to regret it! So back, the hell, down!"

"Or what, you will shatter me like you did with that Super Saiyan?"

"Would try and make it less messy but, yah, something like that. What, you mocking me? I swear I'll do it, if you won't back down I swear I'll kill you and everyone else if that's what it takes to end this for good!"

"Tsc…if you're going to kill everyone anyway then I rather not live long enough to see everything die! I failed people in the past but Doug, till the moment I die I won't stop fighting for you, or for what I believe in!"

Doug's eyes twitched again before his fist started glowing with red energy." Then your going to die a fool Aqua!"

"Then prove it already! Shikai Hyōketsu!"

The blue-haired Enji unleashed her "Flash Freezing" spell to unleash a wave of ice at her boyfriend. Even as the sub-zero ice that was magically enhanced to zap him of his energy collided into him, Doug roared and was only slowed down a bit.

Lacus was one of the many tense by this sight and was about to go to Ben before she saw Mitsuru, Makoto, and some of the other Shadow Operatives and Phantom Thieves ran up.

"Lacus." The red haired woman uttered urgently." I'm well aware there are a lot of things you are involved with that I'm not aware of but I can't help but notice that your friend is currently expressing the traits many of my comrades had when they were dealing with their Shadows.

I noticed, when that man with the glowing sword tricked him with his illusion it seemed to have some effect on his mental state.

I know its not much, but with the gap in our power being so vast I'm afraid clues on his mental state are all I can provide."

Lacus paused before she saw that Doug was still charging through Aqua's ice, but had more of a pained look then glee. She then had her wings extend before she smirked." Don't worry, its given me a idea. Hey, you guys think you can help be do what we did to help Ryūko earlier on top of Tartarus Tower?"

Morgana winced at hearing Doug roar again before he shrugged." I want to say yes Lady Lacus, but to be perfectly honest I don't know if we are still linked to the Metaverse while we are in this flying ring."

"Well we don't have many options, so its worth a shot. Doug, time to see what the true nature of your heart is!"

At the moment Doug was only a few feet away from Aqua, and as he looked right into her eye he formed another energy blade out of his gauntlet. Even as Axel, James and others tried to attack Doug just smashed them away while yelling out," Its to late Aqua, you were to late to, GUH!"

Before he could finish a holy beam collided into him. Doug snarled with pain as he felt a sensation surge through him and look up to see Lacus above him, causing him to look wild again." Even if you somehow conned your way to having that pain in the ass Dragon be back inside you, your still not as strong as me! Time to kick you down from your holy high horse and drag you down to reality!"

Lacus powered down from her Persona Armatization as a holy aura shimmered around her." I'm not here to fight you Doug, but to help you."

"You mean like how you want to "help" everyone else be how you think they should be? There is nothing else I want more, then to see you and Ben's smug dream go down in flames!"

"I can understand you don't like our idea, and I hope we can go over the details after this so we can make a even better plan. But that's later, right now even if your against it, that the number one thing you feel is anger at the Homeostasis Axiom Matrix project.

No, there is something else...even if you refuse to admit it to anyone, even to yourself."

"Oh this is one funny joke alright gal! You, the girl who let someone else do the thinking for her for most her life has no right telling a real man what his feelings are!"

"I'll admit I was weak for a long time, but despite what you think I have been spending years training to understand how to get people to admit their feelings, and I don't know what but I know your hiding something! For the sake of yourself and everything else, admit your true feeling Doug and force yourself to admit the deepest desire of your subconscious!"

Lacus's holy beam shined even more intently and Doug felt his head burning as the symbol on his head shined brighter and he roared out,"Think you can mess with my head huh Raystar? Your going to pay for thinking you can go all therapist quack on me, just like the others your not special enough to put me on your leash now! No trick can stop me!"

"Maybe, but I'm not trying to effect your body, just force you to admit the truth! Its time to be honest Doug!"

Doug aimed a fist at Lacus and unleashed a energy blast, but Ben, Cloud, and Ezan all flash stepped in front of the barrage and deflected the salvo. As the blasts shot above him Cloud looked at his team mate and winced." Doug, don't give into your rage, let us help you!"

"Shut it Strife, I don't take orders from you no more! I'm my own man and you all just have to deal with it!"

Before he could unleash another barrage Wonder Woman flew up and got out her Lasso of Truth." Young man, it's not freedom to be a slave to your own desires. Its time to confess!"

The member of the Justice League threw her golden rope at Doug, and with everyone barraging Doug with attacks to pin him down the rope latched on to him.

While Doug resisted the combined power Lacus and Wonder Woman were unleashing caused him to bend to his knee." To hell with all of you smug elitist! Nothing I want more, then to be free of all of your lies and rules once and for all! Nothing, nothing I want more then to be free, to have TRUE freedom! So that at last I can, at last I can, GUH!"

Doug yelled in pain as his aura became unstable, and started to flatten out. Morgana saw the aura start to glow before the talking cat gulped." I think it's working Miss Raystar! Its not quite the same, but his Treasure, the shape of his true desire is manifesting!"

"It's a trick, your not going to tell me what I'm suppose to be! Not even god will tell me what I want in life! I, huh?"

The aura rippled some more, before it took the shape of a backdrop of the top of a green hill, with a farm in the distance.

The image rippled more before everyone saw a scrunched ponytail blond haired girl was watching the farm from the distance, looking like she was watching the sunset. She was in a simple white dress and barefoot, and as her image became clearer Ben raised a eyebrow." What, is this? Is this a memory of Doug's past?"

James eyed the girl closely before he readjusted his glasses." Doug did not live in a rural area right? Is that a sister or cousin or friend he use to have? Is this, his regret about most of his family turning into Necrocalcous? Damn it, we are sorry about that Doug, that's why we are trying to make sure this never happens again!"

The Beyonder saw all of this and just raised a eyebrow." What is this? So you want your family back after all? I can easily recreate such, common beings from Steller Memory Doug Fitter. Just finish this and your wish will be granted!"

Aqua looked at the girl and saw she was putting her hands up, like a child welcoming back her father, before she looked closely at the girl's face and gasped." No, wait, that's not his wish. That girls face, she has enough in common with me to be a sister. Wait, or a, oh god! Doug, is, is this, is what you really wanted in the deepest depths of your subconscious that you,"

The image suddenly shattered as Doug looked frozen for a moment, till his eyes suddenly got melancholy," Even those in the family I thought were good at that kind of thing ended up not being able to pull it off.

Did seem the whole damn universe was ramming it in my face that I was not cut out for that kind of thing, that I would just screw it up like my dad and most of my family. If, if the universe was not a place where I could have that, then, then maybe another universe could."

Ben looked at Doug with shock before he took a deep breath." Doug, after how much you lashed out, after how much you liked your independence…what you really wanted most of all was to have a c,"

"What would you know bro!?" Doug snapped out violently as he grasped his head." You're immortal; you don't need to be concerned with passing on to the next of kin! You clearly don't give a damn about what common folk worry about! That's right, long as you guys are calling the shots, I'll always be under your thumb, and I'll always be someone that nobody would want to have as a father!"

"That's not true Doug"! Ben snapped back urgently." There is always a way, and we can find it together!"

Doug was motionless for a moment, before he snarled at his teammate." You think I'm just a damn idiot that's going to be suckered into your con again " Bro"? Nah, nah you all laughed at Doug Fitter for the last time. One way or another, this joke only ends when your all dead! Just die already, all I want is, GUH!"

Ben looked like his friend was going to attack again before his eye twitched again and he yelled, this time like he was in pain before he yelled out,"No, No I'm the only one calling the shots! I'll decide what I want, no one else!"

The bald man's eyes glowed red again before his aura went out of control." That's why they got to die, the laughing will stop when they all die! They, no, shut up! That's not, GUH!"

The Beyonder saw Doug struggling before he snickered." Bah…the game would end rather poorly if my champion collapsed right at the climax because of his own indecisiveness! Remember who wronged you Doug Fitter! As long as Cosmos, Ben Auro, and all the other agents of the light exist you can never have peace! Finish this, now!"

As Doug yelled with fury Ben glanced at Lacus before he gulped." Was...is the Beyonder controlling Doug after all?"

"I'm not sure Ben but the way Doug feels now is a lot like how you felt when we freed you from Idious! His, emotions feel torn, like his own conflict is pulling himself apart!"

Ben grasped the Star Sword tightly before he looked determined." So that's how I was like eh? Well, I saw the videos but now I seen for myself how much of a pain it was. Still, you guys stood by me, and since you were there for me Doug, I'm not giving up on you! No matter who's enhancing it, you can't let your darkness consume you!"

"SHUT UP!" Doug roared out as his aura caused the ground around him to shatter." I don't need" your" salvation! Your not the boss of me, YOU'RE NOT!"

"Sorry Doug, sometimes a friend's got to help a friend even when he does not see it. Just call it tough love! If the darkness has a unnatural hold on you, then we will have to go to extra measures to sever it! Lacus, its time to see if are training has paid off!"

"Right Ben!" His girlfriend responded as her wings extended." Time to see if we can save and reform even the most troubled souls. Eternal Cosmic Purification!"

The Geass symbol once more appeared in Lacus's eye before she unleashed a burst of holy energy into Doug. The symbol on his forehead glowed even brighter before he hissed out,"You can't stop me bitch! Your light's got nothing on the strongest force there is! I, I'll never, UGH!"

Ben grasped the Star Sword tightly before shouting back," I won't let your rage consume you Doug, even if I have to split you from it! Shinning Soul Cleave!"

The owner of the golden blade charged at his teammate, but in response Doug unleashed a explosion of energy.

But Aqua cast a barrier around her and Ben to defend him as she shouted out,"Come back to us Doug"!

Doug froze again at seeing Aqua's face, and that was enough of a delay for Ben to slash Doug, causing a beam of light to hit him.

A explosion of light burst out that knocked everyone back. When the light faded Doug was lying on the ground, his aura completely gone, with dark mist behind him.

Everyone, especially those who did not know Doug got ready for a second round only to hear a loud moan.

Doug suddenly got back on his feet, but as he staggered back up his eyes were normal again, and the half-infinity symbol on his forehead was gone.

As Doug saw everyone looking at him he just moaned like he had just waken up." God damn it, even the hangover I had after the binging I did when we beat Zannacross does not hurt this much. Feel like someone hit me so hard part of me got knocked the hell out."

Aqua, Ben, and Axel all looked at each other before the blue haired woman took a deep breath." Doug, do you know where you are?"

Doug was motionless, before he chuckled again, though a lot lighter then before." Course I do Aqua, the same place I was a sec ago."

Axel kept his guard up before throwing in,"I see you still got your wits about you man. So, that mean you still want to finish this fight."

Doug just blinked in confusion as he grasped his head." Honestly, not sure Axel. I feel, like something burst inside me, and that what I'm craving is a lot different then what I wanted just a lick ago."

Wolverine growled before he clanged his claws together."You this naïve rookie? The punk's pulling a fast one to waste you all the moment you let your guard down! Finish this bub!"

Ben gave the X-Men a excited look before he squeezed Lacus's hand hard." I get what your saying Wolverine but its fine, the plan worked! We purged Doug of his darkness!"

Velvet eyed Ben and Lacus carefully before she saw that Doug still looked dazed." So what, you just purged him of his emotions and rage, just like that?"

Eleanor looked at Doug closely before looking at her comrade." Its not to farfetched a concept Velvet, they seemed to use spells like the Exorcists and Shepard's used to purge people of their Malevolence, or in other words the darkness in their hearts!

I guess, it's only natural the champion of light could preform something far greater than the likes of me or even the legendary Sorey."

X eyed Doug carefully before he looked back at Ben." Still, you really caused him to back down? Does that mean you controlled his mind to bend to your wish?"

"Its not like that X, I swear." Ben retorted." Remember how I used my power to draw all of the Sigma Virus into one place so we could finish Sigma for good? I been training since then and this is a evolved variation of that spell. I can draw a person's darkness and purge it from them, to save them from their own negative emotions! This way, I can really save everyone."

Ezan eyed Doug carefully, and still had his katana pointed at the bald man as he slowly moved up to his comrades."So that's that Auro? You purged Doug of all of his negative emotions? Fitter, you no longer are in conflict with us?"

Doug looked at Ezan tensely for a moment before he cracked his neck."Don't think I'm suddenly a believer rich boy. Just, have a different feeling in my head, soul or whatever.

Ben, don't get me wrong, still not on board with this insane Axiom whatever plan you got rolling, but, right now, I'm man enough to realize there are things I have to fight for first."

As Ben, Lacus, Aqua, and others looked overjoyed suddenly the ground begun to crack as a distorted voice grinded out,"Man you really are a whipped dog without me! Whatever, I'm to strong for you to tie me down any more. If you want to go down with the ship, then get the hell off of my stage eyesore!"

A beam of red energy suddenly shout out from the mist behind Doug, and Ben saw his teammate swerve around just in time to get his right arm blown off.

As the member of Squad 7 screamed in pain Ezan saw where the blast came from and yelled out,"Everyone, from the ground!"

Ben and the rest of the hero's saw that the one who blasted Doug was a being of pure black emerged from the mist with its right hand over his face.

The man of darkness was slowly emerging and James saw that Zamasu and Thanatos were still in the distance before he blurted out,"What is this, did the Beyonder send in a new creation out of spite?"

Before anyone could answer a dark aura erupted before the same voice hissed out," So scared that your brain's rattled wuss? Nah man I did not go anywhere, I just ditched the baggage holding me back from getting things done!"

Everyone tensed up as they realized the shadow was bald, just like Doug before Aqua felt a chill creep down her spine." What the hell is this? That aura feels just like Doug's, only darker! But how could their be two Doug's?"

"You just answered your own question broad." The man of darkness yelled out as blood red eyes peeked out. The man grasped his face tighter till energy covered it, and formed a mask around him. The mask grew, till it was the same jester mask that was on the man who attacked Ben right before the Incursion, the Chaotic Comedian.

The man's attire quickly changed to match the rest of the attire that the Chaotic Comedian had before as the being spawned by Doug's darkness unleashed a wild Joker like laugh." You guys kept making things a drag, but on the plus side you helped me make the Chaotic Comedian become a one man show! And now that I threw off every last thing holding me back, time to get my plan to kill every last one of you eyesores back on track!"

Trunks saw the now one armed Doug moaning on the ground before quickly glancing at the Chaotic Comedian before he swore." There are two Doug's now?"

Aqua quickly went over to heal the injured Doug before she glared at the one who hurt him." The one with the jester mask has all of his darkness, while the one in front of me has all of his light!"

Mitsuru eyed the Chaotic Comedian carefully before she tensed up." So the jester in front of us is his Shadow? My group's dealt with stuff like this before they awakened their Persona's, Maya's group did have her shadows take solid form in the real world I suppose."

Ben saw Doug moaning before he glared at the one who hurt him." Damn it, its like we feared. Like how Grand Priest Rassilon did say that the spell could cause a result like the power in the shrine on Mt. Ordeals that happened to Cecil if the darkness was strong enough. Damn it, this really is like how when Idious split from me, its Doug's " Dark Soul". Or...more like his negative side."

All of a sudden a explosion of darkness nearly blew Ben and everyone off their feet as the Chaotic Comedian tilted his head." Oh I'm far stronger than a pansy like you "Bro"! You were just trying to be like me to feel like a winner, but the darkness is the alpha with me!

It's the alpha on everyone! You all kept the champ from what he was due for far to long, so high time you get the whopping you deserve!"

Ben glared at the embodiment of Doug's darkness before getting back into a fighting stance." More like your high time for your requiem! Now that your not attached to Doug, I won't have to hold back at all when I take you down once and for, GUH!"

The Chaotic Comedian suddenly had a flash of red light blast out of his eyes, and as Ben was blinded before he could react he suddenly felt immense pain erupt out of his chest, and as the light faded he realized the being of pure rage had stabbed him in the heart with the newly added spikes to the gauntlet on his right fist.

Ben's attacker had his aura blast out to blow everyone away before they could even react. As his target screamed in pain, the Divergent Catalyst laughed madly before twisting his spikes deeper into the wound." Just making sure you or anyone else never spouts any more hero crap is worth destroying the universe all on its own!

You think this is a duel eh hero boy? Nah, nah this is winner take all! I'm killing even my own weakness just to at last get what I want! And what I want, is for all the god damn noise to DIE!"

The masked man rapidly barraged Ben with vicious blows, each blow causing a cracking sound. Zamasu saw this barrage and just sighed." My, he truly is the embodiment of savagery. Oh well, even the wildest tool has its uses."

The Beyonder just looked at Ben's brutal beat down and laughed like he was seeing a comedy." Oh, this is great, this nearly makes up for all the delays so far! I was worried you ruined my champion but you made him even better by getting rid of the " Lame" parts that were holding him back from doing what I wanted him to do!

I noticed several of the contestants in Battle-World had a "true self" that took shape. Yes, the Stands that the Joestars, their allies and Dio and his forces had, the Appetite Demons, the Personas, even the Life-Fiber outfits and more were ways mortals expressed their" shadow or inner-self". But one way or another it all seems to be revealing their true self from the mask they were around society.

Yes, even the masks you super hero's wear were just another way of repressing the true self. Despite all the worlds and cultures, again and again Cosmos keeps trying to cultivate people's true self, the soul, only to fail spectacularly for all of history because she refuses to admit what that true nature is.

Do you feel good about your heroics now Enji, even seeing how fragile and shallow such antics really are? Good, justice, and all such things quickly buckled under the ultimate power, of pure unbound rage for no matter how hard your kind tries, rage is the true self and the Chaotic Comedian is proof of this!"

"Got that big man!" The Chaotic Comedian hollered out as he bashed Ben in the head." Time for all the jokes to see what really wins once and for all! Tsc, but you really are a stubborn one eh " Bro"? Right, the angels did mod your body to make you more stubborn then a cockroach eh? To bad your not the only one who has pals in high places eh Benny boy? About high time for a little equalizing!"

The Chaotic Comedian had his fist glow before he stabbed Ben in the head.

A moment later Ben felt his head swell and yell as his entire pain was surging with pain as The Chaotic Comedian unleashed the same move that Doug used to brutally kill Jagi in Dio's Castle before he punched Ben in the gut, and extracted his very energy into his hand." That's right, your already dead, your just too stubborn to realize it!

You don't deserve a normal death, not after all the trouble you caused me! Besides, just punching your head off will cause those damn angels to revive you! Nah, I'm going to shatter your body, your soul, your dreams, your friends, your EVERYTHING!

That way every damn loser who was suckered into thinking you were seriously the winner! Because everyone, right before they die, will see that YOU'RE THE JOKE!"

The demented Dimensional General grasped Ben harder to try and shatter him. But before he could fling his fist a energy ribbon wrapped around his arm to bind him.

He swerved to the right to see Lacus glaring at him, before Ben's girlfriend had her aura surge." You won't kill any part of him you monster! Your just darkness personified, now that we split you from Doug your just a cancer to be erased! Burst Stream of Judgment"!

The Enji quickly unleashed her holy attack, only for her target to snicker, and headbutt the energy blast to the ground. Seeing Lacus look alarmed caused the Chaotic Comedian to just unleash another savage yell." Oh don't worry slut your going to get your turn! What he's getting is easy compared to what you're going to get!

After all, for being so god damn stupid your going to suffer as much as anyone's suffered till you realize how wrong you were to ever think you knew what you were doing. Heh, hell I'm not picky, I'll give everyone a piece of my mind, and hate! Nihilist Burst!"

Lacus saw a massive red energy blast heading for her, only for Ezan to suddenly warp in front of her and block the blast with the Nu-Epyon. As the energy poured into him the " Super Elite" Warrior of light glared at the Chaotic Comedian before the energy poured into his blade. "And I thought my dark clone was tenacious. Still, no matter how intense the rageful fire is it will be shattered scum! Susanoo…Reflection…"

The Chaotic Comedian saw Ezan prepare to unleash his counter attack and prepared a counter himself, till Ezan's right eye shined with light. A moment later Ezan used the Amenotejikara Rinnegan spell to switch places with Ben.

Just as his target noticed what happened Ezan unleashed a massive white, black, and purple energy sword wave before yelling out," Slash!"

Ben's rival had his counter attack ignite, but the Chaotic Comedian was fast enough to catch Ezan's blade before it could be swung down.

As the armored man looked shocked the masked man had his eyes widen with raw hate."Ezan…your just goanna have to learn the hard way your not the super one anymore! I'm now above all of you!"

Doug's darkness slowly pushed the sword back, but before he could press on Shinryudramon burst at him while yelling out,"Oh yah jerk? Your still not as big as all of us together! Verus Zenith Ray!"

The transcended Royal Knight Digimon unleashed his best energy blast at his target's right side. The Chaotic Comedian only snarled as he quickly dashed back to try and block Ben's Digimon partner's attack.

As he was blasted to the right Trunks flew at him before the Super Saiyan unleashed all of his might." Time for another nightmare to vanish for good. Finish, GUH!"

Before the Time Patrol agent could unleash his attack he was blasted by red lighting. Ezan, Shinryudramon and many of the others around them were blasted as well as Zamasu ascended down from the air.

The corrupt Kai just had a smug look on his face as his aura exploded once more." This has been a amusing example of the failure of mortals in action. Alas I do think I've tolerated filth in my sights long enough. I hope your not the type that's picky as I was feeling generous enough to help speed up the massacre."

The Chaotic Comedian just cracked his neck before he saw Lacus was healing Ben and snarled with rage." I'm fine with someone else taking out the trash, but the savior lovers are mine! This don't end for them till they know their god damn place!"

"I do enjoy seeing those that defy me get their proper punishment my lovely Comedian." The Beyonder threw out eagerly." But this game is starting to as they say," Drag" out and at this point I just want to see all who defy me broken and dead!"

Zamasu saw the planet still flying above him before his smirk widened." If that's your desire your eminence, it will be done. Still, why not multitask? I'd say these sinners seeing all they hold dear shattering in front of them should drive in the despair yes masked jester?"

The Chaotic Comedian saw how alarmed Ben, Lacus, and all the other Enji looked before he cackled darkly." Making theses losers realize just how much a joke everything they care for does sound like a laugh to me. Lets do this, I got a dimension to own dude!"

Both the Chaotic Comedian and Zamasu powered up, and their aura combined to push the planet above them further into the boundary.

Ben saw the space start to crack more before he felt desperation surge through his spine." No, after all this, we did not come this far for it to end here!"

"Effort does not equal victory dumbass!" The Chaotic Comedian responded cruelly."Like I always said," Hero", everything you cared about was nothing but a joke! Time for those holy pricks to realize who the frauds are once and for, huh?"

As the planet caused more and more cracks to appear suddenly holy light shimmered out of those cracks.

As everyone looked confused Lacus saw the bracelet Philemon gave her shine with light, before she suddenly heard the Supreme Kai of dreams." Lacus, you and your comrades must escape the Beyonder's reality as quickly as possible."

The third woman of the Anti-Apposite bloodline looked around and realized Philemon was talking to her in her head before she grasped Ben's hand tightly." Wait, what do you mean? If we don't do something real quick, the Beyonder is going to unleash his Incursion ritual just like last time!"

"Yes, but this time Cosmos is ready. Remember Cosmos sent you to find out about the Beyonder's intentions, at this point of time it would have been highly unlikely that you could defeat him.

But, this time Cosmos was prepared, and because you distracted him and his champions her plan is ready to take action. However, you all must escape before it goes off or, the odds of you all surviving it will be greatly reduced if you don't escape soon."

"What?"

"Cosmos of course wants you all to live, but the survival of all known existence is the priority. I'd say, it would be obvious when time is about to run out."

Lacus made sure Ben's life was no longer in danger before she looked right in front of him." Ben, we got to get out of this dimension, before its to late. "

"Wait what?" Ben blurted out in confusion. But, if we don't finish this there won't be any place to run to!"

His girlfriend glanced at where they entered the reality from before she shrugged." Cosmos did tell us not to fight the Beyonder directly, she must have thought things out more then we thought. C'mon, we have to move quickly."

The Beyonder saw Ben glance back at the Tri-Edge before he raised a eyebrow." Oh, having second thoughts about defying the one above all do we hero's?

That's too bad, I'm not about to call a time out right when I'm about to win the ultimate game! In fact, for still daring to hang on to your delusions, I think just to rub it in to make it hurt all the more!

Did you really think you increased your odds of victory by winning over some of the other contestants? That's funny, the joke's on you because you just surrounded yourself with my servants!"

The Beyonder snapped his fingers, and Ben saw Superman, Ryūko, Luke Skywalker, Snake, Toriko, and all the others that the Enji met during their time in Battle World all suddenly convulsed in pain, before moment later they all formed blank robotic expressions.

Cloud saw Noctis look lifeless before he cleared his throat." Hey, you still in their Noctis? Huh? Damn!"

In a flash the black haired king threw a crystalline blade at the Enji Captain. Cloud quickly parried the blade, but as he saw Gladiolus, Starjun, Wolverine, Jaina Solo, Machina, and more get in to fighting stances he hissed out," Damn…the Beyonder took them over?"

Ezan quickly warped in front of his comrade and unleashed a Chidori burst to have lighting burst into all the hostiles around him and Cloud before he had bitter memories of when he killed Luger." As we feared he could control them with a thought."

"Of course I can Enji!" The Beyonder yelled out with amusement." These Chrono Phantasma are all my toys, and now that the game is over they will serve me by making your crushing even more absolute!"

The Chaotic Comedian saw Ben hastily block a strike from Superman before Captain Marvel punched him in the head and laughed madly." See what all your ideas have ended up as loser? Making friends is a joke, its something a loser does to cheat the natural order! A man who can't stand on his own does not deserve to be the champ! So sit back and watch everything you hold dear burn yah chosen dumbass!"

Lacus saw Doug's shadow and Zamasu both have their aura's push the world even further, then saw Ben get hit by Toriko, Trunks hit by Captain Marvel, Shinryudramon getting hit by Jean Grey, James evaded attacks by Rem, Llaic, Mara Jade, and more, and found Ryūko and Mitsuru attacking her before she blocked the slashes with her sword and her angel wings. She saw the pained looks in the woman attacking her before she gasped, then looked angry."

No, your wrong Beyonder they are not your toys! Just like how Zannacross thought he could treat our friends like his puppets, even if those in front of us came from here they are not your pawns! I'll prove that, by purging your power over them!

Here we go again… Eternal Cosmic Purification!"

Lacus focused before she extended her wings and had a explosion of holy energy burst out around her. The last time she preformed this spell she used the Golden Imperial Crystal to empower her and free her friends from being controlled by Zannacross.

But after years of training this time she was able to use it on her own, and shocked the Beyonder as his energy was purged from all the Chrono Phantasma, thus severing his control over them.

The scion of Cosmos and Zannacross was shocked to see his pawns fall to their knees before he raised a eyebrow." What, you dare deny me? Know your place!"

"Know yours!" Lacus shouted out defiantly." I was not given Cosmos's power for nothing. No matter where your born, you have the right to be free from the shackles of madmen like you!"

Mitsuru grasped her chest before she smirked." We are in your debt again Miss Raystar."

The Beyonder grasped his fist tightly before he stood up." You think a transcended human comes anything close to me Lacus Raystar? I'd erase you now but then you would not be able to witness my glory! Enough, I think I'll get peak enjoyment having a personal hand in your submission!"

Everyone tensed up as the Beyonder snapped his fingers again and a golden staircase rolled down to link to the ring. Ben saw the source of all his current woe slowly have his throne float down as a massive golden sword spawned in his right hand before he gulped." Great, things went from bad to worst real fast."

"Maybe, but a hero's job is never easy right kid?"

Ben saw Superman stagger back up to him before he paused, and grinned weakly." Got that right. Well, we been in worst spots but, there is still hope, just got to do everything we can to make sure the plan does not fall apart."

"I hear yah Ben Auro, that's the kind of thing Batman would say. Still, I have a question. Are we really nothing but something like clones that the Beyonder created?"

Ben winced, before he responded with a somber nod." Something like that. From what we observed, the Beyonder created Battle-World out of Steller memory, the memory of the Universe."

"So in other words you were lying when we first met?"

"Yah…sorry about that. Its just, we had no idea if the Beyonder would have you attack on a whim so we had to be careful. But, I knew I could trust you if you were like, like,"

"Like the real me? So, we really are history and your world's the one in danger now?"

"Yah…something like that. I fought along side your future self in the previous war and all."

"Well if that's the case then I have no doubts what I have to do. Wait…no, just one thing first. Ben, sorry but I have to ask. Do you really know what your doing with this grand plan of yours? I trust the evaluation the Martin Manhunter gave, but even if your intentions are true, have you really thought this out?

Ben, I get that citizens are not as noble as we like. Trust me, to be honest it's frustrating as hell how easily people forgive Lex Luthor after he makes a few slick speeches.

Still, is it really that bad in the future that you think the only way they can change is to control their minds, even partly? I trust you when you say this is not just you.

But to be honest, I can understand how having people understand each other can be good, but if you are not careful, it could be just like how the Beyonder treated us just now, at its worst it could be like the Anti-Life Equation.

One of my worst enemies, Darkseid, used this demonic formula during what we called the "Final Crises" to make heroes, civilians, and villains alike into mindless slavish extensions of his will. Ben, you truly think the only way for peace and harmony is to bind everyone?"

Ben looked mortified at his grand plan being compared to a supervillains scheme before he threw out a defensive," No, no your wrong its not like that! Its not meant to turn everyone in to lifeless drones, its meant to get everyone to understand each other so that no one's will is repressed by whoever is stronger then them!

That's, that's not such a horrible thing is it? Its just, no disrespect to you guys but your way has been tried for millions of years, and the sad truth is that they never learn, they always let history repeat itself and if nothing is done then one time it really will be the end of everything!

A wise man once said that the definition of insanity is preforming the same experiment again and again and expecting a different result right? We all want to hope for the best, that people will change, but while some do, to many never have and if nothing is done they never will change.

Just like how the foolish idiots who elected that orange tanned idiot destroy Earth Prime out of their stubbornness, the ignorance of those who only live in their own delusional bubbles can destroy everything and drag down decent people with them! Is it justice to let everyone die because some people have to be told what to do?"

Superman saw how frustrated Ben looked before he sighed." I don't know Ben, but I never tried to answer that. I just took things one step at a time, helping who I could. Maybe its just how I was raised, but life without freedom is well, Anti-Life to me. I get where your coming from, and your right that the innocent should not suffer at the stupidly of others. Just, please, don't give up on people.

Your heart is in the right place but don't take short cuts just because people can be frustrating. If your doing this for the right reason, then you got to take every step to making sure it's a path that will be the right balance between freedom and prosperity.

And, if you need more time, then I guess me and my friends will give you that time. Just, make sure its not for nothing."

Ben saw Wonder Woman, the Flash and the other members of the Justice League nod at their leader before he gasped."Wait, what are you doing?"

"We are on borrowed time anyway kid, so might as well make it count." Captain America said as he grasped what was left of his shield." Take the others and get out of here while we hold down this monster as long as we can. The others from other worlds did not sigh up for this, but we are hero's, and at the very least we will do our job to the end.

You seem to think of grand ideas without thinking out all the flaws like Stark does Enji, but, just remember what it means to not just have a good life, but live a good life! For all the faults that come with it please, don't lose faith in what it means to be human"

Ben saw how passionate the "First Avenger" looked before he nodded. Superman saw this and sighed before he turned around." One last thing Ben. Maybe its a bad time to ask but just have to know. Does the real me, stay true to the end?"

Ben looked shocked before he smirked." Yah...a hero to the end without a doubt. Even if people forgot, history still remembered you were one of the greats."

"Heh, all I needed to know."

Cap nodded before looking at his comrades."All right, Avengers, X-Men, for freedom, teach this crook that no matter how powerful you are, crime does not pay! Let justice prevail!"

The Beyonder walked into the ring and saw the Justice League, the Avengers and the X-Men, and a few others like Shulk's group and Elma and the rest of the BLADE units in there Skell mecha all surround him before he snickered." It's a riot that you live up to your role so well " hero's. But the game's over. You can either yield before your master or be erased!"

"Not going to happen." Captain America stated firmly." No matter what, we never yield to villains like you! As long as one person stands in your way, your never going to have your victory!"

"Meh...noble, if arrogant statements from a fool that's about to die."

"I lived my life by those statements Beyonder, and I don't regret it one bit!"

Cyclops, Super-Girl, and dozens of the superhero's blasted the Beyonder as the Skell all opened fire with every weapon they had. Yet the deity just waved his hands to have the blasts vanish before he sighed." Yes yes I know your all as heroic as it gets but you exist to amuse me, not fight me. But you don't need to understand, just obey!"

The Beyonder snapped his fingers again, only to see a holy aura surround all of his targets. Captain America just grinned as he looked back at Lacus." Sorry Mister, we don't do the slave thing. Avengers, for the future, for peace, assemble!"

The Beyonder saw the Enji trying to escape before he looked enraged." You dare meddle again Lacus Raystar? You think your barrier can keep out my will? This joke has gone on long enough! It will take me just one second to, GUH!"

The Flash suddenly punched the Beyonder with a Infinite Mass Punch before Barry yelled out,"Time's up creep, your game's over! Pile it on!"

The Beyonder snarled with annoyance, but before he could respond Wally and Jessie Quick also barraged the Beyonder before he could react.

Ben saw Captain America give one last salute before his group attacked the Beyonder in every way they could to keep their target to overwhelmed to strike back.

Ben saw the Beyonder yell with outrage before he looked at the others with grim resolve."You heard the man, lets get out of here!"

James glanced behind him to see all five ships still bound by golden chains, and saw that while the Gundam's and the other ships had been firing at the ships the whole time none of their attacks have been working before he cringed." Small detail we might want to consider my good man. It does seem are means of transportation are a bit, tied down at the moment. Plus there is the fact that we are in space, and this barrier is both in our way and keeping the air in."

"Don't worry about that." Lacus uttered wearily as her aura flared up." I'll protect everyone with a barrier of my own, just make it fast."

"And don't worry about those chains." Ezan uttered." Such things are not within my power to sever. And since we are down to the wire, I'll do "double duty". Kamui!"

Ezan widened his left eye before he used the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan to distort space around the Great-Fox and start to bend the barrier. Kakashi saw Ezan strain before he grasped his fist." I'll help to!"

The Hidden Leaf Ninja used his own Kamui to help Ezan create a hole faster, and as the hole widened enough to be human size Trunks, Shinryudramon and others flew out to sever the golden chains on the Tri-Edge and the Great Fox.

The Chaotic Comedian saw Lacus looking wary before he snickered." Who said you could leave the show early you wuss's? Nah…nah the only way you make your curtain call is when every last one of you is dead!"

The masked man landed on the ground with a thud before he cracked his neck." What's wrong wuss? To afraid to finish what you started?"

"No, just not about to lose sight of what's most important." Ben uttered wearily as he saw Aqua and Star-Lord help a barely conscious Doug on board. " As much as you are a threat, you're not worth losing everything."

"Piff…now that's funny! Seriously, you act like you care about your friends when your out to control them all? At least I'm a honest joker, your just to full of yourself to think you're the bad guy! And to think, you ever thought you were better than me!"

"Its not like that damn it! I don't have time to explain to the likes of you the nuances!"

Yamamoto saw how uneasy Ben looked, and saw Zamasu also flying down before he closed his eyes and sighed." Ben, take everyone and leave this place. I will hold them off."

Ben blinked as he saw how stoic the bald Enji Master looked before he cleared his throat." Master Yamamoto, what are you talking about? If you hold them off while we escape, then you will be stuck here!"

"Maybe, but if that's the price to ensure you all escape then it will be worth it. We knew the risks, and I'm fully prepared to do what I must to ensure the light survives."

"Master Yamamoto, I'm grateful for your devotion but there is no need when I can stall them with Shadow Clones."

"Don't coddle me child. We both know that Shadow Clones won't hold off enemies of this caliber for the amount of time we need. I am grateful for your concern, truly, but its all right. My time was running out soon anyway Ben.

Let me, make the most of the time I have left to do what I must to secure the future. Just, let Myers know I'll be the one to greet him in heaven after all."

"After all, what do you,"

"There is no time boy!" Yamamoto yelled out." Respect your senior and honor his wishes! Remember what I said earlier? The king, the leader has a heaver burden then most Ben. They must bear the weight of duty even if it weights down on their soul for the good of those that depend on them. I still have faith in that."

Before Ben could response the Chaotic Comedian laughed before his aura flared up." You trying to lay down some humor you geezer? Because your not fooling anyone! Seriously, we all seen your tricks and you can roast some losers but your flames can't do jack against a real man! But if you want to offer yourself up to be the first one I break then fine by me!"

Yamamoto grasped his fist tightly before flames erupted around him." I heard enough of your inane ranting you abomination! I have one move I never revealed to anyone, and that's because I can only use it once! But if their was ever a time, then it's now!"

The Enji Master punched himself in the chest hard enough to pierce it."Gate of Death…release! Zanka no Tachi!"

Ben saw a pillar of flames erupt around the Enji Master, and felt the air around him instantly dry up. He tensed up at realizing what was going on and turned to Lacus with a solem look. "Everyone, he's made his choice. Lets go before he wastes it!"

Lacus nodded before the two jumped on board the Great Fox. They saw the flames die down, before Yamamoto emerged.

He looked the same but his sword had changed, and now looked like an ancient and worn katana, severely scorched by fire.

The Chaotic Comedian noticed no flames around him before he burst out laughing." Oh man you have a sense of humor after all dude? Cause looks like you blew your fuse trying to be a hot shot! To bad, posers get it the worst!"

Zamasu chuckled as he flew to the Enji Master and had another energy blade form in his hand." Yes, bravery is note worthy but lying is so very sinful. Loathsome man, die like the meager vermin you are so that we can proceed with the, GUH!"

As he swung down his blade Yamamoto blocked it, and the moment he did Zamasu was set ablaze. The Enji Master glared at his enemy before growling out,"Did you think I came here to beg for mercy? Let me make this clear. You...will...not...PASS!"

The first Dimensional General screamed in pain as he fell to the ground." You think your damn flames can stop me mortal? I am immortal, no fire can burn through my…AHHHH!"

At that moment the flames tripled in intensity Yamamoto saw his opponents tongue melt off and its owner roll around before he shrugged." Your immortality might spare you from death fanatic, but in return your now going to burn till this cursed realm no longer exists."

The Chaotic Comedian saw that Zamasu was being to overwhelmed by flames to recover, and saw no fire coming from the Enji Master before he cracked his neck."We got a trickster here eh? Invisible flames or something?

Heh, nice try fossil but it don't matter if you coated yourself with some sort of invisible flames or something, it won't hurt me if they can't touch me! Nihilo Edge!"

The spawn of Doug's anger had the blades on his gauntlets extend, and had them crackle with red energy before he dashed past Yamamoto with the intent to slice his head off with his right blade.

The Chaotic Comedian snickered as he thought he dashed past the Enji Master before he saw the blade suddenly vaporize.

As he jumped back Yamamoto sighed." Your sharper then your zealous colleague, but you still don't understand the depth so my current power. Its not about being set ablaze.

Zanka no Tachi, Higashi: Kyokujitsujin does not burn or fire up, it merely blows away anything it touches without a trace, and does not let up till it does so. The immortal loudmouth behind us found out being able to regen endlessly merely means burning endlessly."

"Tsc…unless I just hit you with a blow hard enough to put your flames out old timer! Nihilist Burst!"

The Chaotic Comedian snarled out as his energy exploded and he unleashed a large red energy blast at the senior warrior of light. To his shock the energy beam collided with his target, only to be shattered.

Yamamoto slowly walked up as he got into a fighting stance." Do you realize now the scale of the power your facing you demented spoony bard?

I'm not as fast a learner as some of the other masters, despite all of this time I could not master Zanka no Tachi and utilize it without the cost being my life. Still, while my life lasts my body is clad in heat surpassing fifteen million degrees, if not higher!

My heat is greater then stars at their most intense, and none can touch me or my blade! One of the few advantages of fighting in a foreign reality, is that I don't have to worry a bit about vaporizing all around me! Now that you split yourself from Doug Fitter, I don't need a shred of remorse cutting down a worthless parasite that's a bane to all life!"

The Chaotic Comedian saw the five Enji ships, and even some of the others like the Millennium Falcon and the Nudist Sol ship were heading for where the Enji first enterer Battle-World before he snarled with rage. He dashed for the hole in the barrier around the ring only for flames to burst up.

As the Chaotic Comedian dashed back he smashed the ground to kick a part of it up and shoot it at the Enji Master, only for the projectile to be set ablaze and vaporize in a instant like if it entered a star.

This caused the Chaotic Comedian to hunch over before he unleashed another burst of cruel laughter." Heh, guess it's no con eh dude? That's right, my eyes and throat feel as dry as a desert. Hell everything is burning!

But all the same your nothing but a god damn kill joy! You always were nothing but a pain in the ass you damn relic! You think your saviors of the cosmos? Your just uptight clowns in your ivory tower circus conning yourselves to thinking you're the good guys!

You can say you were killing the "Bad" people, you can say its for the greater good, but in the end all you so called Enji Masters just are killers like me, and at least I'm honest about it! Fossils like you that think you can guide people to a "Better " tomorrow by making decisions from your castles in the sky without bothering to know how anyone down at the bottom that won't drink the punch feels! But then the honest folk" keep it real" by shattering over your grand plans for the utopia you think is right and showing how much your house of cards is worth!

After all you were to blind to stop that Civil War with the Zeon Federation because you were dead wrong about how hungry people are to be winners! And even if you DO escape this whopping, which you won't, it would still fall apart because wildcards like your truly will always resist trying to be weighed down by control freaks like you!

I keep saying, people are not naturally close to the light, they are naturally corrupt, they want to be sinners because they love having what they want and only back down because of the carrot or the stick. Put aside all the speeches and the reality is people only work with others either out of fear or greed. You all made such a big deal when every damn soul united to help Ben fight Zannacross, but the reality is it was either help or die!

You all thought that was proof that everyone wanted to hold hands and sing songs, but just proves that people will do anything to live, and that only when everything will die will most people work together because otherwise they want to be on top!

But you losers are so desperate to see everyone as you want them to be over how they are that you just won't quit. But no matter how hard you try get people to be what you want, it will never work!"

Yamamoto closed his eyes before responding with a solemn," Most of the time I let Myers and the others debate about what is the most moral path to take while I focused on what was needed to live going down said path.

From the start, I joined Myers, Zoda, Craft, Minato, and Gandowan because I thought the warriors of light across the universe uniting was the best way to cut down evil wherever it spread. Nothing is white and black, but no matter what I focused on how to do my duty and cut down the sinners that spread injustice.

Wild dogs like you that only think about sating your own desires could never understand the burdens kings, the burdens of all leaders worth a damn have to carry!

It's one thing when life revolves around yourself, but for a parent or any who has responsibility for another knows what its like to worry about those they must protect being harmed by the foolishness of those around them.

I know Myers and others have doubts about the morality of Project Hemostasis's Axiom Matrix, and without a doubt it will require much fine tuning. But if it reduces mindless death and suffering I know its worth attempting without a doubt.

Because the time of letting arrogant children, or those with the comparative intelligence of children be spoiled enough to mindless be allowed to act on their whims is over.

There recklessness endangered everything, dishonoring all we fought and sacrificed for because of their shallow whims. If they just go mindlessly bringing demagogues to power again and again without caring to learn, then they have lost the privilege of having their mindless thoughts being valued.

They will learn as they are enlightened as their hearts are bounded to their peers, no matter how defiant they get. And at last, there will be true peace."

"Hahaha…you all really don't give a damn what the common hick thinks eh? Well its true that the weak don't have rights dude, the reality is your all to weak to decide what's right either! For all your flames your still to slow to stop me you geezer! Your flames are still not fast enough to catch me with my Ultra Instinct…so kick back and squirm as you realized you threw your life away for nothing!"

Yamamoto sneered as he had had a tornado of fire burst out to try and catch his target, only for the Chaotic Comedian to vanish in a instant. The blazing Enji Master saw images of his masked opponent all around him, and as he heard laugher all around him, and saw his hands start to crack he sneered."Think you can just slip away from the grasp of a dying star you virus? Think again. Corpse… ashes of the dead who were killed by my flames…rekindle once more to join me with one last spark of victory! Zanka no Tachi…Minami: Kaka Jūmanokushi Daisōjin!"

The Enji Master stabbed the tip of his sword into the ground and a moment later a rupture burst out in front of him, and dozens of blazing corpses blasted out. The Chaotic Comedian saw more and more corpses jump out to surround him before he cracked his knuckles." You picked a hell of a time revealing all your tricks right before you died you eyesore! But your senile if you think quantity can make for quality, I can crush them in,"

Doug's expelled darkness punched the air and unleashed enough force to shatter all the corpses in front of him before he laughed." Scratch that, I did shatter your weak ass trump card in a second flat! Now its time to, huh?"

Before the Dimensional General could unleash a second strike he saw the skeletal arms of the figures he shattered grasp on to him as one made a hand gesture to cast a magic spell.

As the Chaotic Comedian as the ground ripple and swallow up his feet like quick sand before he could notice Yamamoto saw his target looked distracted and grasped his blade with both hands." They may indeed be cannon folder, but like all pawns they just have to hold down the enemy long enough for the king to make checkmate!

Doug Fitter may have had his reasons to hold a grudge, but none of that was even close enough to justify endangering all life itself! May you that is raw hate, be reduced to less than ash you damn sinner! Zanka no Tachi, Kita: Tenchi Kaijin!"

Yamamoto yelled out with fury before he nearly became a miniature star. The heat around him and the Chaotic Comedian became so intense that it looked like they were suddenly transported to hell.

But as the masked man saw the Enji Master's flames become a blazing tiger and felt hurricane winds blown into him the being of madness just cackled madly as he stomped the ground hard enough to crack it." Oh yah, bring it tool! No matter how hot you get, your not to hot for my rage!"

"Shut up and DIE!"

"You don't tell me what to do, EVER! HELL"S PUNCHLINE!"

The half-infinite symbol on the Chaotic Comedian's head surged with power before his aura erupted and he unleashed a lunging punch that fired a tornado of black and red energy at the Enji Master.

The collision unleashed a shock-wave and the two were at a dead lock for a few moments, till the Dimensional General felt himself knocked back a few feet and widened his eyes." Nothing's more a pain in the ass then a deluded old timer who can't get the message!

Think I'm giving it one hundred percent you bastard? Like hell! If your flames are being such a pain, then with the Equalizer, I'll just go around it!"

Yamamoto saw his opponent's arm suddenly bulk up and get muscular before the attack the arm was unleashing glowed white, causing the bearded man to tense up." No…you will not,"

"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU MOTHER FU,"

Before he could finish his taunt his aura exploded, and using the power of the Equalizer the Chaotic Comedian's attack phased through to another reality to bypass Yamamoto's flames, and after pricing his defenses blast right into his midsection.

The attack shattered all of the Enji's flames in an instant, and not only did the attack shatter Ryūjin Jakka…but hit him so hard that he was bisected from his right shoulder to his waist.

The Chaotic Comedian saw his target fall to the ground and laughed madly as he went over to kick the broken blade away." Now who's full of it eh you bald bastard? Well, guess not you since your in pieces! Serves you right for, huh?"

The masked man heard the Beyonder scream with rage and looked up to see that the ships were getting further away. The sight made him snicker before cracking his neck." Now look at what you did eh? I'll have to try now to own the rest of these lame, huh? Seriously?"

The Chaotic Comedian was about to take off till he felt something grasp his leg, and saw that even with his body severed, Yamamoto still grasped his target. The Enji Master looked on the verge of death, but even as his body was cracking he rasped out,"You…will…never win…scum."

Doug's darkness had his eyes twitch before he stomped his foot down so hard that he severed the senior warrior of light's arm. He then had his energy flare up has he had a mad look in his eye." You got to be a sore loser like a little bitch eh? Piff…don't you get it?

My "kind" always wins! Your such a god damn stiff to the very end, ranting about sin this and justice that! But your to smug to realize you're the one who bears the greatest" Sin" of all dude. That's right, it's the worst sin of all, but its so bad that you stiff's don't even talk about it.

The cold hard truth is that Pride, Lust, Greed and all the other sins are not the worst! The true worst sin, is to be boring!

That's right, so many of you hero's, saints, angels, and all the other kind of "Nobel Elite" try and be politically correct and paint a nice picture so all the losers can feel better.

But in the end the reality is most don't really give a damn how many people a dude screws over if he puts on a good show! If a man can get people what they want, you think they really care how its done as long as he can keep the good times going?

Hell no. Don't matter if the man breaks some lame rules like cheating on a wife, cheating out some lame losers out of money they were going to lose anyway, or even kill!

Because no matter how hard you hero's try, people don't give a damn about anyone that's not part of their pack. A saint is a bore that just makes everyone else feel bad and tells them to do what they don't really want to do!

But if the laughing man that can make people feel something, then hell...people will pay more attention to his god damn seat then a boring "low energy" stiff that has all the "logically correct" answers!

No one ever makes a statue for " Carl the Consistent" dude! They worship those that bring in the passion! If some lame stiff somehow wormed his or her way to power, people naturally want their stuff taken to someone that deserves it, because no matter what the law says, the " true" law is that those that are liked the most should get the most no matter how many legal loopholes the weak prop up to cheat things!

And that's why you " hero's will never win. Because its not good vs evil, just the strong vs the weak who suck up to whoever is a sucker enough to defend them.

That's right, most people are not aligned with hero's, they just want to say that to feel good! But the truth is the troll is closer to most people then any goodie two shoes hero!

People don't care if millions of people are dying in some far off place long as they don't know anyone, people don't really care if god damn genocides go on long as they don't have anyone they know there. People don't want to all be equal, they just want to crush anyone that's not in their pack, that's getting in the the way of keeping the good times rolling.

They don't want to be in peace because that would be a god damn bore!

Even if people say they want "peace," they really want victory! They say they seek security and quiet, the condition called peace. But even as they speak they are trigger happy sons of bitches that are mighty damn hungry for good old fashion violence to get glory, to dominate the losers!

That's why when they get that quiet security they think they want they squirm like hell after they realize how god damn boring peace is! After all if its always all nice and tranquil then no one is winning! So the show must go on and if some losers being killed are the price then that's to bad.

You stuck up " forces of light" kept trying to push people to a tomorrow where they would be what they want, but I'm what they really are! That's why I'm the one who's going to rip apart every last joke till all of existence is how it should be! That's right, no matter how many losers get robbed, rapped and ripped apart, even if it means a entire group of losers gets massacred the show must go on! So don't matter how many losers resist, the wheel of life is gonna turn sucka!"

Yamamoto just coughed up blood, and as it looked like he was going to say something the Chaotic Comedian suddenly unleashed a energy blast from his right hand to blast his head off. The masked man laughed madly as he just kept unleashing energy blasts."SHUT IT! I'll destroy everything and everyone till there is nothing left! Then I'll win! THEN I'LL WIN!"

The Divergent Catalyst kept up his onslaught till suddenly he realized their was nothing in front of him but a giant crater. The man with a jester face saw their was blood and ash on his right fist. He looked back up to see where the Enji were and sneered when he realized they were further away.

As angry as he was, the Beyonder was even more furious at those that defied him escaping. As Superman, Professor X, Wonder Woman, Jean Grey, Green Lantern, Captain Marvel, and all the others barraged him as hard as he could, unleashing enough power to destroy the throne he was on. He landed on his feet and blinked for a moment. He then saw the Tri-Edge and the other ships were nearly out of his sight before his entire body glowed golden." You DARE make me stand? How dare you, HOW DARE MY OWN CREATIONS DELAY ME A SECOND FURTHER! I WILL NOT BE DENIED!"

The golden being had energy beams shoot out of him in all directions. In a instant Barry pushed Wally out of the way, and got vaporized. Superman, The Hulk, and some of the others were able to endure the barrage but were still critically wounded. The sight of their grim determination caused the one known as Rabum Alal to scream with fury." CATCH THE HEATHENS MY SWANS AND BRING THEM TO ME!"

As the surviving superhero's gave everything they had to keep the Beyonder at bay at this time Ben and Lacus had joined Cloud and the others on the Neo-High Wind docking bay.

Ben had seen a monitor showing the Chaotic Comedian brutally kill Yamamoto and grasped the Star Sword bitterly before he glanced at the monitor showing Cid." How long is it going to take to get into the portal?"

"Unless you help push Auro we are maxed out! Just need a solid minute and we should be good!"

Trunks chuckled bitterly as he looked at the progress of the other ships." Long as its not a " Namek" minute we should be good. Then again, never underestimate the fury of a enemy who thinks he's god. Because, huh? Damn it, because something like this happens!"

James saw a monitor showing the Beyonder was glowing, and that the entire reality was glowing before he winced." No, looks like the Beyonder's charging up an attack that, if the reading's are correct, could vaporize this entire dimension! But that would destroy everything here!"

"HAHAHAH! You naïve Enji Knight, your thinking to damn small but that's to bad!"

Ben swerved around to see that that the Black Swans Elphelt, Ramathel, Yabbat, and Stella had all landed on the ship's docking bay.

The pink haired Black Swan had pistols form in her hands as she had a deranged look in her eye." You heathens just don't get it! Our lives, and this entire reality is just a extension of Rabum Alal's will! If he wants to remake things to his whim, so be it! But right now the whim of the Great Wheel, is to turn over and crush your unworthy body's!"

"You must really not care about your life if you want to just give it up so casually." Cloud uttered as he got back into a fighting stance.

Elphelt just giggled darkly before her pistols transformed into energy cannons." We don't have to defeat you, just delay you long enough to keep you from escaping! Ramathel, lets show them what divine punishment looks like!"

The brown skinned Black Swan saw James give her a wary look before she had twin blades float around her once more."Of course…sister."

"Hehe, time for the final, GUH!"

In a instant Ramathel stabbed her fellow Black Swan in the back, causing the pink haired woman to scream with shock. As she glared at her Ramathel had her blades become cannons." Sorry Elphelt, but the Enji must escape to see if the path James Elrond talked about will amount to more then talk. Overdrive: Calvados!"

Ramathel blasted her sister away , and as she did Yabbat looked at this act with raw hate." You corrupt heathen! You turn your back on the great one? Such insanity must be, GUH!"

Just as she was going to attack Stella had golden swords rain down on the pale Black Swan's limbs.

As Yabbat cried out Stella pointed her rapier at her." Some of us still remember what its like to have are own will. Some of us, are willing to risk the ultimate sin to find what we lost."

As Stella glanced at Noctis the original Black Swan hissed with fury before she teleported away. James eyed the two traitors carefully before readying his bow."So, this is your wish? We are in no mood for more games."

"You can watch us if you want, but my view is sincere. I should advise, the odds are we are running out of time to escape."

Ben saw a warning sigh and saw the entire area around the Beyonder was glowing like a giant laser ready to erupt before he tensed up." No, if we could just go a little faster, if we could just get a few more seconds!"

"What about, freezing time altogether?"

The group swerved around and saw a recovered Jotaro stagger up. " I can use the power Star Platinum got from Dio, "The World", to freeze time. It might give us a few seconds."

As everyone looked at the Joestar his relative Josuke raised a eyebrow." Hey wait man, I thought it only worked on yourself? That's not going to be big enough to cover us all!"

"Maybe, but its better then nothing! Even if I push myself so hard I die its better to die like a man then do nothing!"

Lacus saw Link, Mario, and the others look conflicted before she took a deep breath." You don't have to worry about running out of energy, I'll give you enough so that you can endure the extended cost. I'll, try and use my power to extend its range to."

Luke Skywalker saw her determination and walked up." I can try and help, and form a Battle-Meditation to expand the effect of whatever this thing is so it can cover us all. Worth a shot at least."

Mara grinned before the red haired Jedi crossed her arms." New you would get your mojo back when all this mess was cleared out farm boy."

"Just needed my muse back dear. Chewey, get ready this is only going to get one shot!"

Everyone briefly heard the Wookie roar from the transmission from the Millennium Falcon before Lacus and the Grand Master of the Jedi both put their hands on Jotaro's shoulders, causing the Joestar to grin." Well this has been one bizarre day alright. Good grief, here goes something. Now Star Platinum, The World!"

The hat wearing man's Stand appeared, and used its power to freeze time. With holy energy fulling him, Jotaro was able to cover the entire group of ships and freeze time around the entire area.

Ben held his breath, but was relieved to see that the ploy seemed to work as the airships were moving, but the energy around the Beyonder was frozen. Ben saw Lacus was looking weary and just grasped her tightly, causing her to smile as the couple saw the Schwarzwelt portal right in front of there eyes.

To everyone's relief, the Beyonder still had not mastered time enough to notice that a area of it was frozen.

As the ships passed through the link between dimensions this caused everyone on the other end to get alert as Reed Richard's saw one of his machines beep.

The leader of the Future Foundation looked at his wife, Master Myers, Ansem, Tifa, Beerus, and the others before he winced."Everyone, the readings from the ships are being detected again in the portal! It's a good chance that they are returning!"

Myers and the other Enji looked relived before Tifa blurted out," So they are ok? They won?"

The member of the Fantastic Four was about to respond when he saw another beep and saw his machine display a error sigh before raising a eyebrow."Don't relax just yet, a energy seems to be following them, one that has enough force to overload the sensors!"

Beerus sighed before he saw the Royal Knights finish absorbing all of the energy that the God of Destructions were willing to donate before he had his feline ears twitch." All right lunkheads, you better prove your worth or I'll destroy you myself."

Omnimon nodded before he glanced at his fellow Royal Knights." We will not fail our duty. Mode change to…"

Omnimon used the energy he gained to have his armor shine with light. He then transformed to have green eyes, light blue neon lights in many parts of his body, and light blueish white wings instead of a cape. As his sword transformed into a Katana he shouted," Merciful Mode! Now brothers, for the sake of Cosmos!"

The now winged Royal Knight dove into the portal between worlds, followed by his fellow Royal Knights, the black armored Alphamon Ouryuken, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, and the white and red armored Jesmon.

As the Royal Knights entered on one side the Beyonder saw the Enji and their new friends suddenly enter the other end of the portal on his side. Realizing that his targets somehow escaped faster then he expected the Beyonder screamed with rage." No, they cheated! This can't happen, not to me!"

"Guess it did son." Superman answered wearily as he grasped his wounded chest." No matter how powerful you are, in the end villains like you all face there, GUH!"

In a instant a black claw of raw energy erupted out of the Beyonder's chest to impale Superman in the heart. As those who survived gasped in horror the Beyonder looked completely insane as his face turned pitch black and demonic eyes formed all over his body." I'm not like all the inferior scum you play hero with, I'm Beyond EVERYTHING! And may everyone be forced to accept this, once and for all!"

The Beyonder had more claws burst out all over his body to impale all around him, before those claws divided and the Beyonder begun to draw the entire realm into him.

Superman saw the very space folding into his enemy before he closed his eyes." Ben…its up to you now. Lois...for you."

The Man of Steel and those who were left tried one last attack before they were swallowed up by the deity.

The Beyonder grew to the size of a skyscraper and downed multiple arms as more of the dimension around him became part of him. "I WILL NOT BE DENYED!"

The Chaotic Comedian saw the Beyonder dive into the portal before Zamasu at last regenerated enough to stand back up before he looked around." What…what happened? Did, did the heathens die?"

The masked jester just snorted as he glanced down." Since the boss man is ticked as hell, what you think you fag?"

Before Zamasu could even respond a shock wave knocked him into Thanatos. Ben and his friends felt the shock-wave even more before the owner of the Star Sword saw a monitor showing a mass of purple energy with the Beyonder's face on it catching up to them through the portal between dimensions before he winced." He, he's chasing after us? Figured he'd be a sore loser. So, anyone have the best idea to fight a roaring mass of energy in between dimensions?"

Before anyone could respond another monitor shows Omnimon and the other Royal Knights fly past the ships before Trunks raised a eyebrow." It would seem the others are either reckless or planned for this. Well, lets hope its option B."

Omnimon saw the Enji and their entourage fly to the other side of the portal before he glared at the Beyonder." Enemy to all, your madness will be severed here! All Delete!"

Omnimon put his arms together and unleashed a raw energy beam. At the same time Imperialdramon cried out," Omni Sword!"

While Alphamon shouted,"Divine Sword Grade Alpha!"

And Jesmon bellowed ,"Judgement of the Blade!"

The four Royal Knights attacks headed for the Beyonder in unison, but seeing the attacked just caused the scion of Cosmos and Zannacross to snort." COSMOS MUST TRULY BE FOOLISH IF SHE THINKS HER PUPPETS CAN HARM ME!"

"We don't think our attacks can defeat you villain." Omnimon calmly stated." But they can open a path way so that she can!"

As the Beyonder paused to wonder what the Digimon meant he saw the four attacks head not for him but to the edges of the portal, and with the enhancements given to them the God's of Destruction the blades cut the portal itself.

The creator of Battle-World was shocked to see the portal be severed, before it revealed none other than Cosmos herself in her throne in heaven, the Sanctuary of Order.

The ruler of the "Invisible Empire" saw the supreme queen of light looking at her sadly, as a massive amount of holy energy was surging around her." WHAT? YOUR PAWNS CUT A PATHWAY TO ALTER THE LINK TO YOU!? HOW KIND OF YOU TO SAVE TIME!"

"Your mistaken, my son."

Cosmos uttered sorrowfully as enough holy light surrounded her to fill up all the stars of a galaxy." Since we were aware of your plans, as my Enji distracted you we prepared a countermeasure.

You intended to use the Incursion ritual to weave all the realms into yours and shatter them, but since we were aware, we intend to reverse the effect to instead draw your reality, your being in, to leave you vulnerable without risking the other realms."

"YOU THINK YOU CAN OUTWIT ME MOTHER? I AM BEYOND YOU AND NOW I WILL AT LAST TAKE WHAT SHOULD BE MINE! I WILL ROB YOU OF EVERYTHING!"

Cosmos just sighed as she condensed all of the energy she was gathering into a sphere in her hands." My son, I'm sorry you loath me so. To say I was new to being a parent at the time would be a understatement. It's my wish to see you reform, but if your rage endangers everything else in existence I can not afford to be patient.

Rabum Alal, Beyonder, U-DO, whatever name you think defines you my son, I hope you will at last be at peace.

Heavily Star of Creation!"

The Beyonder instantly fired twin purple energy blasts from his eyes, but Cosmos had been gathering power into her attack since the moment Ben and the others entered Battle-World, and unleashed her golden sphere.

The moment it left her hands it became the size of a sun, and grew larger as it collided into the Beyonder, and hit him with such force that it smashed him back through the portal and back into his native realm.

The Chaotic Comedian saw the Beyonder be blasted back into his reality, and saw the Battle-World planets get shattered in a instant before he saw the one who gave him power try and push the blast back, only to quickly fail before he chuckled darkly." Damn, this curveball is going to sting."

Just as Zamasu looked up the sphere exploded, consuming the entire reality with light. At this point of time Ben and his group just exited the Schwarzwelt portal on the other end.

The leader of the Justice Force was overjoyed to see that the world, and most of his comrades were still their after he left before he grasped Lacus warmly." We did it, we made it back!"

"But what happened to the,"

Before Ezan could finish his speech a massive flash of light form the portal cut everyone off as a shockwave knocked all the ships back.

As Cid and the other pilots frantically tried to stabilize Ben got on guard again." What happened? Is the Beyonder attacking?"

"Do not worry Ben Auro." Omnimon replied as he flew in front of the Neo-Highwind." That was Cosmos. You succeed in distracted the Beyonder long enough for her to plan her countermeasure.

In such a dire situation as this her direct intervention was warranted, and as you escaped we cut the portal between realms in two, to lead the Beyonder to Cosmos, where she hit him with enough force to purify an entire dimension."

Ben saw Star-Dream overload in the distance as the portal collapsed. He took in what the Royal Knight said and raised a eyebrow." So wait, your telling me Cosmos attacked the Beyonder directly, and destroyed him and his reality with him? So, did, did we really win?"

Before anyone could answer everyone heard a bitter snicker, before Doug staggered up." That all depends on what you mean by winning bro. Because like it or not, we still have vary different ideas on what winning this means."

While Doug did not look hostile, he did not look happy either, and Ben realized he was facing more than one uncertainty that was causing him to feel dread. But little did he know he had more to worry about then he thought.

Where Cosmos's attack went off was nearly now all but blank space, completely shattered by the might of the Queen of Light's attack.

However, one house sized fragment of land survived, and on it was the Chaotic Comedian. The masked man's right arm was vaporized but the sight of his own survival caused Doug's darkness to yell loudly." Now THAT's a rush! Heaven throws a slicker fastball then I figured, but even that's not hardcore enough to erase the true power I tell you what!"

"Yes…the true…divine…reckoning…can never be stopped!"

The masked man glanced behind him to see Zamasu, or at least his head slowly reform even after being hit with a reality destroying energy blast. As the first Dimensional General's body slowly regenerated the green colored man had a mad look in his eye." Witness the might of my true immortality, that can survive even the end of the universe! Praise…ZAMASU!"

As his body finished healing Zamasu coughed up blood before he had his eye twitch, he uttered a weak chuckle and fell flat on the ground.

The Chaotic Comedian just cracked his neck before he looked at all the white around him." Well, you hero's hit hard enough to roll this out into overtime, but it just means your going to suffer like you never suffered before in the final round, when your going to have to see who the true winners are, once and for all!"

Suddenly the small platform begun to shake as a booming voice roared out," I AGREE COMPLETELY, MY GOD SLAYER!"

The Masked man glanced up to see a golden sphere spiral around in the sky, before it slowly rotated, once more becoming space. The eyes of the Beyonder appeared over that sphere as his Wahrwelt castle slowly was restored, like time was rewinding after Cosmos's attack ignited.

The Beyonder saw his reality slowly be restored as his eyes started to glow with golden light and look like moving clock hands." SO YOU WERE SO AFRAID OF DESTINY THAT YOU CHEAT ME MOTHER!? YOUR MORE UNDERHANDED THEN I EXPECTED TO PUSH ME THIS FAR! YESI HAD NO IDEA…THAT I COULD SEE THIS MUCH…WITH MY EYES SHUT!

BUT I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW, MY EYES HAVE ADJUSTED AND NOW I CAN "SEE" TIME! AND NOW THAT I CAN SEE, ONCE I FINISH ADJUSTING, NONE WILL DEFY THE TRUE ALMIGHTY EVER AGAIN!"

The Beyonder gave a wild burst of laugher that caused the entire reality to shake as his wound slowly healed, and he thought of nothing but revenge for his setback.

Authors Notes: Well, we had another massive chapter but hope to clear things up any confusion as much as I can.

Firstly, Thanatos is from the Saint Seyia series like Hypnoses, and like before his human form was from another series so I felt like it was a worthy enough match. I altered how Zamasu fused but its close enough to get the desired affect of his fused form from Super Lol.

Also, since I wanted to keep Ben as the only one with Bankai I combined what was Yamamoto's Bankai in Bleach with the 8 gate release suicide Jutsu Might Guy from Naruto used in his battle with Madara.

Now then, I know there is still a lot of, things to be settled but if your not happy with how things are going I'll just say that things are not set yet for everyone's path so to speak.

Ben's rant about Anti-Spiral and the Spiral Nemesis are both from the series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The Spiral Nemesis is a theoretical apocalyptic event involving the overuse of the Spiral Power energy of which the enemies of the series, the Anti-Spirals fought to prevent, becoming so obsessed with preventing this that they took very extreme measures.

Ben's not become a "Anti-Spiral" yet, but is getting close with his zeal.

Doug and the Chaotic Comedian is like Kain fighting his Dark self in the After years, though its mostly like the villain Onslaught form the Marvel comics who also was the final boss of Marvel VS Capcom.

Onslaught was the fusion of Professor X and Magneto, Magneto's hateful mind merging with Professor X's to become a new, vicious enemy with both of their powers, and more.

In the Comics the X-Men were able to split Professor X from Onslaught, but Onslaught's hate was so strong he was able to still exist as his own entity, the same kind of concept is applying to the Chaotic Comedian for the moment. Their might be another thing Onslaught has in common with the Chaotic Comedian but, that will come later.

Well, hope you like how things unfolded today to leave a review, tune in next time to where as everyone realizes the Beyonder survived, Ben must retrieve his full power, the Divine Mugen Nova. On the path to reclaiming his ultimate power Ben meets old faces along the way, both friend and foe, and must make some hard decisions about just what he is truly trying to grasp. He's not the only one that will be making hard choices, and to find out tune in next time.
