I don't own anything outside original characters. This is a fan fiction for entertainment purposes only. No profit or offense intended. This was created purely for Fun.
Note:
Halloween World was my most successful series and with another Halloween, I decided to create a small alternative version. Anyone can write in Halloween World Alt universe, just like the original.
It's time to play can you identify all the crossovers.
Psychopomp: In various systems of religious belief, a being, such as a god or a person acting as a shaman, who guides the spirits of the dead to the afterlife or the otherworld.
Dying can be scary, Death is not. This is the phrase that appeared in the Changed World after the Halloween Event. This is mainly do a large number of psychopomps now interacting with mortal humans, making them aware of what lies after death. With every member of humanity now possessing some form of spiritual awareness, psychopomps can be seen by most mortals.
Shinigami (Death Gods) also known as Soul Reapers make up the majority of the psychopomp forces and there numbers are increasing. The same increased spiritual awareness, also means any dead soul possesses the potential for developing spiritual powers. This means the academies of soul society have become flooded with potential reapers ranging from normal grunt level to monstrously powerful. The Valentine Event also effected the Reapers, enabling these spiritual beings to reproduce and produce even more powerful generations. It's said that the Soul Society had a panic attack when they learned the blood knights of 11th Division, especially it's Captain Kenpachi Zaraki were going to be parents.
There are thousands of shamans who walk the line between the mortal and the spirit world, with there spiritual partners at there side.
There are Necromancers, that range from those who would abuse there power to control the souls of the dead to those who exist to protect the balance.
There are Exorcists, that forcibly purify corrupted spirits and remove demons that interfere with the living. These exorcists range from one's blessed by God of the West to Onmyōdō masters of the East.
There are Grimm Reapers, the incarnations of death that often appear as normal people or cloaked skeletons that transport the souls of the dead to the afterlife they deserve.
Light Yagami encountered a shinigami Ryuk of his world after picking up the Death Note. The Death Note is a special notebook that grants the user the supernatural ability to kill anyone whose name is written in its pages. As Kira, he started killing criminals with the believe the world would be a better place if it believed there was a god dealing justice to the wicked. His ego and growing megalomanic caused him to kill those that would attempt to stop him, despite those people being innocent. He managed to kill the genius investigator L - the closest thing he had to a best friend -, but his secrets were revealed by L's apprentices. He died in shootout and his soul taken by Ryuk, which should have meant oblivion. Instead, he awoke in the Changed World with black feathery wings. He attempted once more to become a God of Humanity, killing criminals and bandits, but eventually lording over others and killing those who defied his will.
Now that is over.
Shiki Ryougi's blade approaches at speeds to quick for Light to dodge. She is a girl who possesses the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, a supernatural ability that allows the user to see the inherent mortality of everything (both living and non-living) in the form of lines. It doesn't matter if the blade is nano-thorn dagger or a butter knife, as when she traces the lines she can cut anything. When it pierces the death point, a person's existence ends completely. Nothing can escape the Entropy, so nothing can survive her attack.
As the blade pierces his point, Light Yagami ceases to exist. He is not simply dead, if he was it would be possible his death-infused soul would regenerate given time. No, his soul has been destroyed completely. Everything that Light was or could be is erased.
There are many forms of death and it's possible in the Strange Aeons Even Death May Die.
Chapter 5 - Psychopomps and Realm of Queen Babylon
Team 4
"They had a recently had a rabbit hunt. Mostly those horned rabbits, but there was plot bunny mixed with then. The poor boy ate it and spent the next ten hours writing a romance fan fiction. He doesn't even like romance stories - can you believe it - and his team didn't realize he was poisoned until hour ten."
Central City Adventurer's Guild Team 4 has had hundreds of missions and consider escort missions to be the worst. The people being escorting are far weaker than them and often come in one of three categories. Those that act like fan boys praising the Adventurers when they need to concentrate. Those that resent the adventurers for possessing great power, while they need protection. Not willing or able to put in the effort to become strong. Finally, those that see Adventurers as a service and try to be friendly with there own stories.
Today's clients are a husband and wife couple. The husband is a youthful man standing 188 cm with an amber eye and straight pale silver hair going a little beyond the shoulders. He also has a gold artificial eye that looks vaguely Egyptian. He's dressed in a red formal double dressed suit that makes him seem like the character from a novel. He has a foppish manner, dandified appearance, and effeminate hairstyle. He holds a black case that is linked to his wrist by a handcuff.
His wife is beautiful woman of noble birth with blue eyes and a mane of golden blonde hair reaching past her waist. She's dressed in an old fashion blue dress with red/pink frills and ribbons.
Maximillion Pegasus and Cecelia Pegasus. Maximillion Pegasus was the president of Industrial Illusions (a major game and tech company) and the creator of the game of Duel Monsters in his world. Cecelia was his childhood love, his artistic inspiration, who eventually became his wife before illness struck.
In truth, after his beloved wife died of illness, he traveled the world looking for anything that could possibly revive the dead. His quest led him to Egypt, where their beliefs of an afterlife intrigued him. That is where he gained the mystical Millennium Eye, which not only allowed him to see his wife's soul, but access the ancient Shadow Magic. He created Duel Monsters based on the Shadow Games, ancient magi duels fought with summoned monsters and magic spells in which anything could be a prize from fortune to souls. He attempted to gather resources both technological and magical to bring his wife back, but he was defeated by the heroic Yugi Muto and his Millennium Eye was ripped out by the Evil Spirit of Millennium Ring
During the Halloween Event, he awoke in a new world next to his beloved wife. It didn't matter if the world was chaotic realm filled with magic and monsters, he had his Cecelia back. They were able to survive the chaos using there intellect, cunning, and strategic thinking. In time they even developed the supernatural ability to summon monsters from the cards, despite Pegasus no longer possessing the Millennium Eye. The artificial eye is a cybernetic prosthesis he was able to buy and had it fashioned to resemble the Egyptian artifact.
When the Halloween Event occurred, Cecelia became pregnant with there first child. One of many children they had over the years. The reason for this trip involves one of those children.
Maximillion Pegasus has been telling stories about his kids since the mission began, when they got on the Dragon Train.
"Mr. Pegasus, you said the mission was to Babylon to retrieve your oldest son? Which is connected to a delivery?"
"Yes. The boy dislikes romance novels, but he fell in love with a girl at that place. She also fell in love with him, but that was given with the boy's charm and looks. The girl is a City Guardian and her contract needs to be negotiated."
Team 4 exchange worried looks as Babylon is a very powerful colony. Pre-Halloween there was a common prostitute who decided to dress up for Halloween, wearing a fake plastic crown and calling her "Queen". The Halloween magic transformed her to powerful being, calling herself Babylon after the famous Whore of Babylon mentioned in the Book of Revelations, she eventually founded the Brothel at the End of the World, which has become a castle in the centre of an ever growing colony.
"Babylon isn't just some magical Queen, she actually possesses divine and demonic blessings. The crowns on the heads of rulers represented the corona of divine beings, proof that it was will of the gods that they would rule. She is the High Priestess and Incarnation of Inanna" says the Leader of Team 4, remembers his reading.
"Inanna is an ancient Mesopotamian goddess associated with love, beauty, sex, desire, fertility, war, justice, and political power. She was later worshiped by the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians under the name Ishtar. She became Astarte, worshiped from the Bronze Age through classical antiquity, before she was imported into Greece and became Aphrodite with the later Romans naming her Venus."
"In demonology, she became Astaroth in the 15th century, ending up in the Lesser Key of Solomon in the 17th century as a Great Duke of Hell, forming a dark trinity with Beelzebub and Lucifer. She as a male demon is associated with Qliphoth. Astaroth teaches mathematical sciences and handicrafts, can make men invisible and lead them to hidden treasures, and answers every question formulated to him. He was also said to give to mortal beings the power over serpents."
Team 4 are starring at the Leader, while Pegasus looks impressed.
"The Campione emphasize learning History of mythological figures."
Campione is the name given to God Slayers, specifically referring to mortals who are able to kill heretic gods - gods, heroes, and divine monsters who have stepped out of myths and legends to manifest in the mortal world, endangering people. Campione are able to absorb Authorities - the divine powers, attributes, qualities, and weapons, of gods, heroes, demons, and monsters, which make them invincible to normal humans. It was rare term in the original world it came from, referring one of seven in the modern era. In the Changed World, there are more than a dozen people who have killed mad gods of immeasurable power.
"It's not going to be an easy trip." says Pegasus, "Queen Babylon's Queendom includes succubi, incubi, silah, qarinah, sex angels, and every other sentient associated with love and lust. Some of the cunning and manipulative creatures of both darkness and light. Many people that lacked the combat abilities or personality to survive our hostile changed world found a home in Babylon's realm. A little pleasure is very little to ask for, when you can be given clean water, luxurious food, warm homes, endless health and hygiene, and protection from endless nightmares."
"An army of prostitutes and sex demons are that strong?" asks another member of Team 4.
"Don't underestimate them. Normal human prostitutes were the heart of the Old West of America. The money they made was used to create the schools, banks, and other services that would help found the town. Babylon has access to many resources to build her Kingdom, as many resources as the Greater Colonies." says there Leader "Also while fear and pain are easy to counter, pleasure is a lot harder to deal with. Queen Babylon herself once causing an invading army to collapse with a wave of pleasure and then turned them into her slaves."
"Queen Babylon has strict rules to protect her people." says Pegasus, "The original worship of Inanna connects to sacred prostitution, sexual activity performed in the context of religious worship or fertility rite. They were separate from the harlots of the common class. In Hammurabi's code of laws, the rights and good name of female sacred sexual priestesses were protected. Babylon's girls are all considered priestesses of Inanna and all acts of pleasure are considered worship."
"Attention Passengers. We have now reached Regina Babylonia, territory of Queen Babylon and the Brothel at the End of the World. Passengers be ready to depart. Espers beware of psychic emanations."
Espers, those possessing psychic powers, can be sensitive to strong emotions and lust emissions are strong in this area of the world.
Team 4 leaves the Dragon Train escorting the Pegasus couple.
The Leader of Team 4 stands 2 metres (6'7) with a very muscular athletic build with green eyes and thick auburn hair. He's dressed in a tight green body suit with black legs and white gloves. He also wears goggles and a superhero-style utility belt.
His Parents come from a world where eighty percent of the population have some form of supernatural ability, known as Quirks. A world that contains super villains and professional super heroes. His father was born Quirkless, but dreamed of being a Hero like his Idol All-Might. A show of courage during a villain attack resulted in All-Might making him the heir to his special Quirk's legacy. He began his education to become a Hero, encountering his mother on the first day. He saved her from a giant robot, she saved him from dying from the after effect.
He is Osamu Midoriya, son of Izuku Midoriya and Ochako Uraraka.
"Remember, we are in the territory, but not the actual colony. For security reasons, the train terminal is outside the main colony like most big colonies." says Osamu, "A twenty minute trip pass the defences."
Team 4's Second-in-Command is a beautiful woman of mixed heritage standing 173 cm (5'8) with green eyes, dark skin, and long black hair done in micro-braids. She dressed completely in black (shirt, pants, boots, and gloves) with a dark green spider marking her chest. She also wear a black long coat and is currently drinking a can of beverage. As she finishes, her black clothing flows over her head forming a mask with large expressive white eyes with a hood.
The 2IC's Parents come from two similar worlds of comic book super heroes and villains. His father was a young man who was bitten by the same spider that granted powers to a young man named Peter Parker. Peter Parker became the famous hero Spider-Man, eventually dying fighting villains, and his father took up the mantle.
"Problem?"
"No this Chocoholic suit knows about Babylonia's famed stores."
His maternal grandfather was a mutant - someone born with powers in his world awoke by puberty or trauma - possessing a regenerative healing factor. A government project wanted to turn him into an anti-mutant weapon, but after getting indestructible metal bonded to his bones he escaped killing many of the scientists and soldiers. His mother was one of there attempts to create a clone of the original Weapon X in which the scientist used her own DNA to fix problems that occurred in the previous twenty two attempts, resulting in a daughter. She too eventually escaped the organization and slowly became a Hero.
She is Maria Rio Morales, the daughter of Miles Gonzalo Morales - the young Afro-Latino Spider-Man of Earth-1610, and Laura Kinney, also known as X-23 and Talon, the partial clone/daughter of X-Men Hero Wolverine.
"Well, it's better than Klyntar eat Chocolate instead of brains."
"Yes, but Veneno would rather be paid in chocolate. No. We aren't being paid in chocolate. Unlike you, I can't live off chocolate. Don't argue with me."
Klyntar are extraterrestrial symbiotic life forms descended from the weapons of an evil god of darkness, until they rebelled and imprisoned him. They bonded with courageous people to be heroes and redeem themselves, but some bonded with the mentally ill and became feared monsters. The original Spider-Man Peter Parker was once bonded to a symbiote, but rejected it once it found out it was alive. It spent years bonded to Peter's enemy Eddie Brock as Venom, changing from a villain to an anti-hero over time. Maria's symbiote is Veneno, a Venom symbiote's offspring. A rebellious daughter in personality, tho Klyntar are asexual.
"I hope this mission is worth it. My mother's friend from Winnsboro is visiting at the end of the month."
Team 4's strongest is actually a tall beautiful woman standing 183 cm (6') with blue eyes and short black hair. She's dressed in a sleeveless black body suit that looks like it should belong in a Gym training room than outside under the dangerous Red Sky. She also has weird thick combat boots that look large on her. Her choice of fashion is explained when she transforms into silvery metallic humanoid standing 192 cm tall (almost 6'4) and looking like a walking female statue in clothing.
She is the daughter of two X-Men from the same type of world as X-23. Her father is a powerful strongman from Russia, who would die and live again to protect his friends and family. A man with the power to become living steel. Her mother is a Jewish-American teacher who has become skilled in many professions due to her adventurers including being a hacker, a ninja and a teacher. She has the ability to be as intangible as a ghost, walking threw objects and on air.
She is Alexandra "Alex" Katarina Rasputina, daughter of mutants Piotr "Peter" Nikolayevich Rasputin and Katherine Anne "Kate" Pryde, better known as X-Men heroes Colossus and Shadowcat.
"Winnsboro. You mean the version of Psylocke that married a good version of Orochimaru? Tom Majors?" asks Maria.
The Naruto Militia are very chatty about the good versions of Orochimaru, Madara, and other villains from there world. They couldn't stop talking for a month when a Naruto in Japan married a moon goddess named Princess Kaguya.
"Brian and Megan are bringing there kids along this time."
"We should be home before then. This is listed as a simply escort and combat training mission."
Team 4's smart guy is a young Japanese man standing 172 cm tall with black eyes and short black hair. He also has the pointed ears of those possessing fairy blood. The young man is dressed in mainly black clothing with a black coat known as the Coat of Midnight. As he exits the train, he speaks to a black pendant around his neck, hidden by his shirt.
"Chernobog, Release Safeties."
"Jawohl!" (Yes, Sir!)
He reaches behind his back and two swords appear, handles in his hands. One is a pale, one-handed straight sword, the blade translucent as if made of green crystal. The other is shorter pitch black sword with the blade having a gray edge.
Smart Swordsman's Parents encountered each other when trapped inside a VR MMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively multi-player online role-playing game), a death game in which the only way to escape was to beat the final boss - the creator of the Game. They fought along side each other, feel in love, raised a AI daughter, and eventually defeated SAO's creator. It was only the beginning of there adventures, as they both played together and fought against those who would abuse the technology for there own sick ends.
He is Katsuro "Kira" Kiragaya , son of Kazuto Kirigaya and Asuna Yuuki, better known as Kirito the Black Swordsman of SAO and Asuna the Flash.
In the Changed World, Kirito and Asuna absorbed many traits from there game avatars including the fairy blood. Spriggan blood from his Father's ALO account and a mixture of Undine/Sylph from his mother, resulted in him possessing magical potential.
"Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate warned me about Regina Babylonia." says Kira, "They say Queen Babylon is cunning strategist, who becomes smarter, more cunning, and more powerful as the number of people she rules increases."
Nanoha Takamachi, Fate Testarossa Harlaown, and Hayate Yagami are combat mages from another world's magical military. They have been helping transform flowery romance-and-beauty theme magical girls into magical girl warriors. They also act as guest magic teachers in Central City's Adventurer Academy.
The Heart and Healer of Team 4 is a young woman standing (5'6) with red eyes, pale skin, and shoulder-length snow white hair. She's dressed in a protective blue/white uniform with a hooded dark blue coat. She pulls out an odd gold sphere, that unfolds into a spiral double-tipped spear.
The Heart comes from a world destroyed by the greed of man and the power of extraterrestrial beings known as Angels. The experiments involving the Angels were horrific, leading to her paternal grandmother dissolving in front of her son as her soul was taken and the soulless body of her maternal grandmother being found hung by her daughter. The souls became part of bio-mechanical war machines cloned from the Angels, piloted by there children. In the end, the world was destroyed by those seeking immortality and power, leaving the children on a beach in front of a sea of blood.
"Hayate-sensei has always given good advice."
"Even when designing costumes?" says Pegasus, referring to S-Rank Mage's habit of pulling people into her cosplay fetish.
"Yes." replies the barrier maiden and Healer of Team 4.
In the changed world, they barely understood what was going on when her paternal grandfather abandoned them. May all versions of Gendo Ikari rot for the crimes they have committed. They were saved by a Autobot and taken to safety during the chaos of that night. The two then had to deal with pregnancy after the Valentine Event.
She is Nozomi Rei Ikari, daughter of Shinji Ikari - Third Child - and Asuka Shikinami Langley - Second Child- , two teen pilots of bio-mechanical war machines known as Evangelions in a post-apocalyptic future
Other people depart the Train with Team 14 and the Pegasus couple.
"Names and Purpose for visit?" states the emotionless mechanical border guard.
One is an apparently teenage girl of medium height - 160 cm (5' 3"). She has mid-length black hair with a single left-swept red highlight on her bangs and her blue eyes have peculiar gear-shaped pupils with eight grooves around the edges. She's wearing a black/red Japanese sailor-style school uniform (seifuku)
"Tatsuki Mato, daughter Central City's Ryūko Mato and fiancee of Rana. Here to visit Rana's mother's Cattleya, resident of Regina Babylonia."
Number two is a tall, muscular man standing 173 cm (~5'8") wearing black pants with orange hip guards, a black shirt, and black military boots. She also wears a black utility belt, a thick dark brown jacket with a white fur rim, and a purple/white headband.
"Rana Elletta, son of Cattleya Elletta of the Little Elf Forest Shop. Here to visit mother with my fiancee."
Number three is a young man of mixed Japanese, Chinese, and American heritage standing 176 cm (5'9) with amber brown eyes, tan skin, and short black hair. He's dressed in a standard Adventurer Guild black jumpsuit with a hooded jacket. He also carries a pair of Modified Beretta 92Fs Inox with the standard magical enhancements.
"Robert "Rob" Okajima, son of Rokuro 'Rock' Okajima and Rebecca 'Revy' Lee of Central's Lagoon Company. Me and my girlfriend are here for the Luxuria Beach."
Number four is the girlfriend, whose also a Tanuki (Raccoon-like) demi-human. She's 170 cm (5'7) with deep tea red eyes, tan skin, and hip-length black hair. She's wearing the fantasy clothing of an warrior-class fantasy adventurer, which includes a hide breastplate, skirt, lace-up boots and a pair of gloves.
"Rafaela Iwatani, daughter of Naofumi Iwatani the Shield Hero and Raphtalia the Katana Hero, based in Central City. Me and boyfriend Rob are here for the Beach."
"Luxuria Beach is a pocket dimension created by Queen Babylon, A perpetually summer tropical island with immense sandy beaches in a small ocean of saltwater filled with tropical fish. Music, food, entertainment, and all the beaches are clothing optional with loose regulations regarding intimate activities. Luxuria Island is staffed by Babylon's best who even put themselves on the request lists." Quotes Pegasus.
The group including the two couples raise there eyebrows. The only one not to react is the mechanical border guard, who was made emotionless to do his job.
"Me and Cecelia vacationed there a couple years ago."
Queen Babylon, Founder of the Brothel at the End of the World, Queen of Regina Babylonia, High Priestess of Inanna, sits on her golden throne. She's a very tall, large breasted, voluptuous woman standing 213 cm (~7 feet) possessing supernatural beauty with glowing gold eyes, dark flawless skin, and flowing black hair reaching past her waist. She's dressed in pure white with sparkling gold and polished lapis with a jewelled diadem on her head with seven long points.
The Queen's throne room is also a mixture of white stone, golden decorations, and flowering vines with man made waterfalls and pools. There are many beautiful male and female servants of every ethnicity and humanoid species. Empowered humans, lust demons, sexy extraterrestrials, and animated constructs like advance automatons and magical golems.
The Queen's advisors are Succubi from various worlds.
The green haired advisor is the warrior queen Morrigan Aensland. She and those who possesses dark souls in her world are often called Darkstalkers. Morrigan as a royal succubus of her world can fed on any form of stimulation, be it physical or intellectual. She doesn't need sexual activity like lesser Succubi, she can fed from her love of combat.
The black haired advisor with the gauntlet covered hand is Lilithmon, Goddess of Darkness, and the Great Demon Lord of Lust in the world of Digimon. She and Beelzemon (Duellist of Finality, Demon Lord of Gluttony) are the only survivors after the Colony Wars. She is a powerful magic user, whose supernatural beauty has enslaved many mortal minds.
The white haired advisor is Druella, Fourth Princess of the Demon Realm. In her world, a succubus ascended the throne of Demon Lord instead of a violent warrior. Instead of trying to kill and devour humans, monsters under her influence became half-succubi known as monster girls that sought to corrupt humans, turning human women (and gay men) into more monster girls, while turning all men in incubi to fed them.
Druella the Fourth Princess, an aggressive lilim that was the primary architect of the conquest of the Theocracy of Lescatie. She personally transformed several of it's most powerful heroes.
"Ambassador Albedo has sent the final outline for proposed alliance with Nazarick."
"What is this, revision 34?"
The supreme ruler of the Tomb of Nazarick and Sorcerer King of Darkness Ainz Ooal Gown has created an Empire in Japan, having wiped out all walking dead not controlled by the Elder Lich King himself. His Queen is a succubus Albedo, known as the Merciful, Pure-White Devil. She acts as the ambassador to Regina Babylonia.
"There is a recruitment drive for Tarot's Black Rose Coven. A lot of Druella's Dark Mages are joining, but no Witches"
"Wicca and your Witches of the Sabbath are very different."
"The Sabbath is full of Loli, while Dark Mages are stacked like that Dragon Crown Sorceress."
"Moving on. We have a new succubus type. We have a sorceress and warlock duo from the Burning Legion. They were part of the group that invaded the world of Azaroth"
One of the servant girls, a blue-skinned Draenei pales at the words. The draenei (meaning Exiled Ones in their own tongue) are a faction of uncorrupted eredar who fled their homeworld of Argus to escape the corruption of the demonic Burning Legion.
"You need not worry, Elleri. I had them interrogated and once I learned nothing of the original human survived, I had them turned into stone statues. They are petrified both on the material plane and astral plane. Unlike that foolish Elf Queen, I am not easily deceived or manipulated."
The Draenei calms and looks at the Queen with adoration and lust.
"Later. I still have six meetings today."
Central City Adventurer Team 4 is now walking threw the city towards Babylon's palace. The sky above the city is covered in cages of metal wire and glass covered in magic symbols. The insanely strong technological alloy, layered force fields and magical barriers protect the people beneath the "blanket" from the dangers of the Red Sky and random monster attacks. The holographic technology and illusion magic enable the inside of the barrier to resemble the blue skies or starry nights of a pre-Halloween Earth.
Pegasus is mildly surprised when he encounters a Duellist, one of notable fame.
She is a beautiful woman standing 163 cm with brown eyes, fair skin, and dark burgundy hair. Her hair is mostly chin-length with the addition of elbow-length bangs that frame both sides of her face.
"Maximilian Pegasus?"
"Aki Izayoi?"
Aki Izayoi, a powerful duellist from his world's future known as the Black Rose Witch. A future in which duellists race and duel on special motorcycles, and people like Pegasus and Yugi are historical figures.
Akiza possesses an extremely strong special ability which sets her apart from the rest of humanity, and even the rest of the dragon-empowered Signers. This psychic ability enables her to materialize and bring to life monsters and the effects of Duel Monsters cards, allowing her to freely control them similar to Yami Bakura and Jaden Yuki.
In the Changed World, her powers became even stronger and her connection to the Signer dragon - Black Rose Dragon - has granted her draconic blood, increasing her power further while granting her dominion over plants. It was those abilities that allowed her to survive the army of horrors that plague the world and reach the colonies.
"I decided to learn magic and recently joined the Black Rose Coven." says Aki and when Pegasus raises an eyebrow "The name made me notice"
"So, who is with you on this trip."
"Pegasus?"
Pegasus turns to see an athletic woman standing 175 cm with purple eyes, bluish skin, and long golden hair reaching her hips.
"Mai Valentine. Why are you blue?"
".. Damn. I told you we need to get these glamours fixed, Aki."
Mai explains how many of Duellists from there world have gained traits from monsters from there decks. While Aki only gained Dragon blood from the Black Rose Dragon instead of turning into a plant elemental, Mai was transformed into a form of Harpy Queen. She drops the glamour to show the larger breasts, legs ending in sharp talons, and feathered arms ending in sharp claws
"The monster type can determine how much a person changes. Dragon, Fairy, and Fiends grant enhancement of abilities and personality traits aligned with the Type. They are considered special as far as transformations go." explains Akiza
"Beast, Beast-Warrior, Dinosaur, and other Animal types have demi-human transformations. Elemental Types result in the person becoming an Elemental Spirit." says Mai indicating a cat girl with dark purple/black fur, yellow eyes, and a green cape, and a white haired woman in red robes. Pegasus realizes they are a humanized version of Panther Warrior and Fire Princess.
"Spellcasters and Warriors are merely enhancements to magical and physical abilities, respectively." Indicating a dark skinned Dark Magician Girl speaking fluent Ancient Egyptian to a dark skinned woman dressed in the gold Jewellery of ancient royalty and bandages of an Mummy
"Machine and Undead are the worst types as the original person is consumed by either cold emotionless logic or mindless hunger for life." explains Akiza.
She mentions how there is a Dark Magician Girl possessing the mind of Egyptian Sorceress Mana (who was the apprentice to Mahaad the Dark Magician). She also mentions Rose, Warrior of the Revenge - a red haired fire-element warrior whose also travelling with them.
"You and your wife are probably Spellcaster type."
Pegasus isn't sure how to react to that statement as it's generally known that "normal" humans don't stay "normal" in the Changed World. Even after decades, he and his beloved haven't aged a day and his wife doesn't even show the signs of having birthed more than half a dozen children beyond a minor enhancement of his body.
"Well look at this way, you have always loved cartoons and with Toon World you could probably be one."
Pegasus isn't the only having odd reunions.
"Osamu!"
Osamu Midoriya, son of Izuku Midoriya and Ochako Uraraka, just encountered two of his father's friends from UA - the elite super hero school in there world
One is an alien-looking woman standing 159 cm (5'3") with gold eyes with black sclera, light pink skin, and her head is framed by short, fluffy, unruly hair which is only slightly darker. She also has two pale thin yellow horns, which are slightly flexible. She's dressed in a purple and turquoise skintight bodysuit with a camouflage pattern, ending just above her breasts. Over this, she wears a cropped, sleeveless tan-colour waistcoat with white fur along its collar, which she leaves unbuttoned.
The cheerful, easygoing girl possesses a Quirk that allows her to shoot out a corrosive liquid from within her body and can control the degree of solubility, as well as its viscosity.
"Aunt Mina."
She is Mina Ashido, the Ridley Hero: Alien Queen.
It was very awkward meeting Ellen-8, a part-alien clone of Ellen Ripley - heroine of the Alien Franchise. Ellen had been in Regina Babylonia to get her friend, an auton mercenary and engineer named Annalee Call. Queen's Babylon's city is the best place to repair gynoids (mechanical, synthetic, or organic) outside of the machine city of Machina.
The other is a reasonably short - 157 cm (5'2") - girl with quite a curvy, mature build. She has yellow eyes, light skin, and salmon pink hair styled into thick dreadlocks and sideswept to her right. She's dressed in dark blue and white armour, resembling the power armoured of Iron Man.
A smart, off-setting, and assertive girl, she is extremely passionate about her inventions that she calls her babies. While her Zoom Quirk grants her eyesight that can zoom far away, allowing her to clearly see distant people and objects, she shines when making gear that works with there abilities.
"Aunt Mei."
She is Mei Hatsume, formerly a student of U.A. High School's Department of Support, now a supplier of Gear for those possessing superpowers.
On the Changed World, she has a lot of customers and access to many different types of technology to play with.
"How's Ochako and Izuku doing?"
"They are doing fine in Central. Monsters are getting smashed, people are getting saved, and the economy is looking good."
"That's good. The Queendom is doing good too, we have even getting more immigrants. Mostly Card Monsters and Duellists, but a lot of talented people have appeared."
"That's interesting. Wait, why are you going to the palace?"
"One of the kids is getting married to a Duelist from another colony. Maxwell"
"Maxwell Pegasus. I here escorting his parents."
"Small world." says a new voice.
Osamu turns to see two additional people standing behind them.
The woman is a tall, beautiful, curvaceous scientist with blue-green eyes behind glasses, light skin and long bushy auburn hair. She wears a pair of hoop earrings, a sleeveless, blue and red short dress with opaque black tights, black arm sleeves, and blue and red heel boots. She also has black nails and is currently eating some sort of sweet.
The man is a tall, very well-built bodybuilder with violet eyes, light skin, and long, dark purple, wavy hair which he keeps under a dark, tight head-wrap. He is minimally dressed, wearing high boots, forearm guards, and tight dark pants
"Let me introduce you to the rest of out family." says Mina, "This is our co-wife Houko, also known as Jinzōningen Nijūichi-Gō (Artificial Human 21) or Android 21 here in the states."
"Despite me and 18 being cyborgs instead of purely synthetic gynoids."
"You always say that." says Mina, "and this is our husband Karson."
"Karson?" not remembering a fictional character matching his description.
"When I was human before Halloween and I wasn't consumed by my transformation, tho it was very powerful. I keep my memories and personality. I was a body guilder and physical trainer in California name was Karl Arnold Sylvester Johnson." says Karson, he notices there look.
"..."
"My parents were fans of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone." says Karlson, "During Halloween, I was transformed into what's essentially a hundred and two thousand year old evolved super vampire.."
"A 102 000 year old Super vampire?"
"He was a villain who consumed regular vampires he created because they tasted better than humans. He sought a legendary gem to become the ultimate being immune to sunlight. He succeeded but was sent into the depths of space by a volcanic eruption triggered by his enemy."
Osamu notices a ghost-like image appear standing next to Karson. It resemble him with solid black skin and dark purple eyes and hair. Osamu recognizes it as a Stand - the manifestation of one's life force
"His name?"
"Kars - Last of the Pillar Men." says Karson. "My Stand's name is Just Stop."
Bishōnen is a Japanese term literally meaning "beautiful youth (boy)" and describes an aesthetic that can be found in disparate areas in East Asia: a young man of androgynous beauty.
It the one word that comes to mind when Central City Adventurer's Guild's Team 4 finally meets the son of Maximillion Pegasus and Cecelia Pegasus.
Maximus Pegasus is a very beautiful man standing an impressive 185 cm (6' 1") with amber eye and straight pale silver hair reaching his waist. He wears a long black coat with silver pauldrons, black boots and black trousers. The top of his coat is open to reveal his chest, making him look like a male model or a child of the Soldier Sephiroth rather than a card Duellist. He carries a high tech gun/sword and on his forearms is a collapsed duel disk.
His fiancee Jinn Johnson is a tall, athletic woman standing 182 cm (~6'), looking physically stronger than her athlete husband, almost radiating energy. She has purple eyes, dark tanned skin, and long messy white hair reaching her waist. She has also has pointed ears and sharp canine teeth. She wears a black tube top, black arm sleeves with gold bracelets, white baggy pants with a gold belt and black/gold boots. She also wears a gold necklace.
Queen Babylon smirks as she looks down at the gathered people.
She has two attendants.
One resembling a fairy standing less than 150 cm (less than five feet) with green eyes, light skin, and sparkling pink hair flowing down to her hips. She also has long pointed ears and gossamer purple wings on her back. She's dressed in a white dress with gold/silver/white magical jewellery including necklaces, belt, bracelets, earring, and circlet. The adventurers can sense strong protective magic infused to every piece, neutralizing mental influences and illusions.
One resembling a gynoid standing 210 cm (almost seven feet) with gold eyes with black sclera, polished silver-chrome skin, and shoulder length straight black hair. She`s dresses in black jumpsuit with a white circuitry pattern. She`s holding a small chrome colour case.
"Maximus Pegasus, first son of Maximillion Pegasus and Cecelia Pegasus. You intend to marry Jinn Johnson, first daughter of Karl "Karson" Johnson and Houko, formerly Artificial Human 21. She must first be released from her magical contract as a Guardian of Regina Babylonia. Have you brought the required price, Mr. Pegasus?"
"Yes, you majesty." says Maximillion as he removes the black case from his wrist and hands it to the fairy attendant. The fairy attendant scans the case with a spell. Pegasus then places his finger over and lock and speaks the code word "Perseus Play 5-8-13". With a hum and click the case is unlocked and opens to reveal a deck of cards is the cushioning material.
The fairy attendant takes out the cards and feds them into the case held by the gynoid attendant. The case made some noises then clicks.
"Contents have been scanned. Duel Monster Cards. Some Shadow Magic detected. No Illusion or Mental Influencing Spells detected. No Retrieval Magic or Marking Detected. The items are clean of Unwanted Magic. Enhanced Scan complete. No active nano-machinery detected. No contaminants. Conclusion: Clear"
"You won't believe how many people have tried to cheat me." says Queen Babylon, "They desire my wealth, my power, and/or my body. I'm immune to magical and technological influences, but security measures keep my servants happy."
Queen Babylon picks up the cards from the gynoid's case. The cards turn black as she charge them with shadow magic.
A pitch darkness explodes from Queen Babylon, splitting into four before falling down to strike the ground in front of her. As the darkness fades, four feminine forms stand before the Queen.
The first succubus is a red-haired beauty with two huge bat-like wings and five horns, two going backwards, two going forward over the shoulders, and one small one emerging from above her forehead. She's dressed in skimpy black with numerous dark markings.
The second succubus is a pale woman with flowing black hair and black wings. She has four horns creating a crown of bone and two smaller wings emerging from her head. His arms are twisted in nightmarish black claws.
The third succubus is a woman with black eyes, white skin, and flowing black hair. She also has large breasted curvy body clad in black lingerie. She also has the largest wings, two huge horns, and a long tail ending in a blade-like tip.
The fourth succubus is a white-skinned woman with black eyes and long black hair. She has two large horns curving forwards to frame her face and huge dragon wings. She's dressed in what resembles a dancer's clothing with numerous black chains around her wrists.
"Agrat Bat Mahlat. Eisheth Zenunim. Lilith. Naamah"
"Zohar´s four angels of prostitution" explains Pegasus, "The mates of the demon Samael, the mothers of demons. In mysticism, they are qliphah, counterparts to the angels of the Sephirot... The Qliphoth?"
"Qlip Hot?" asks a confused Mina
"The Qliphoth is a border-realm within the Interstice, between the Human and Astral worlds. The representation of evil or impure spiritual forces in Jewish mysticism. While the astral plane is the plane of the mind, consciousness and spirits, Qliphoth is the realm of shadows and monsters born of the darker aspect of the soul." explains Osamu, "I learned about it from Schierke, the witch that's part of Black Swordsman Guts' Travelling Party."
Queen Babylon shudders at Guts' name. Guts fear of intimacy stemming from child abuse makes him instinctively hostile to those of her Queendom. At least he's calmed down a little now that Casca is safe and sane by his side and Griffin/Femto is dead, both on the physical and astral planes of existence.
"Oh no." pales Pegasus. "Babylon's demon aspect Asteroth, an archdemon associated with the qliphoth."
"Yes. Our new creations will act as my representatives in Shadow Realm, which is part of the Qliphoth of the Changed World."
"How did you acquire control over the Shadow Realm!?" asks Pegasus realizing the kind of power she now possesses.
"The Shadow Realm as you known it was created by the demon god Zorc Necrophades from the Qliphoth. It was an aspect of his existence, but it couldn't reach the human world. Eventually, he managed to send the Millennium Spellbook - The Book of Gods and Demons. The seven millennium items were created using a spell in that book opening Zorc's path to the mortal plane. Pharaoh Atem managed to finally destroy Zorc, which gave him ownership. When he and Yugi had there final duel so the Pharaoh could finally rest, the ownership went to Yugi."
"How did you beat Yugi?"
"Another version of you helped me. Pegasus J Crawford wanted to resurrect his beloved Cyndia after she has died again in his hostile world. In return for having my magi craft a new flesh and blood body for her, he agreed to make me some special cards."
Queen Babylon waves her hand and a pool of black water appears with a ripple. Another ripple and it becomes a mirror showing the events of the past.
Yugi Muto and Queen Babylon stand on platforms in front of a black platform, facing each other. The black platform is divided into set up of game by glowing yellow lines.
"The duel will commence once the contract has been made. We will play using the modified rules. Win or lose, your colony will receive the desired resources needed for three months. If you Win, you will receive an additional three months. If you lose, I will only take one item of personal property. This contract is enforced by divine magic. Do you agree?"
"I do not know what of me you would desire, but this duel is too important to my colony. I will risk anything to ensure my friends survive." says Yugi, dramatically, "I agree upon this contract."
"The contract is made."
They auto-shuffle there decks, then draw five cards from there decks
Yugi Muto - 8000 LP
Queen Babylon - 8000 LP
"I would like to tell you something before we begin. Yugi."
"Yes."
"You have many advantages over me, not just skill and experience like a normal player. You also possess the 'Heart of the Cards'. Unlike many, I know this isn't just a declaration of faith in your deck and your friends. Instead it's the ability to change Fate, drawing any card you desired based on your will and the will of Atem. This means you can draw any card you desire if you believe enough in what your fighting for."
"That's one way of seeing things."
"I have taken steps to overcome this ability. I'm not going to give you can chance to win. If you ability can turn a one percent chance of victory into a hundred, then I have to make that chance zero."
She places down a card
"I summon Abyss Slime!"
A holographic monster appears on the field resembling a amorphous black slime with tentacles, random acid green eyes, and random mouths with human-like teeth. It makes a disturbing noise as it moves on the field, dripping ichor.
[Abyss Slime - Abyss Monster. Level 3. Attack - 500. Defence - 500].
"When Abyss Slime is summoned to the field and there are no other monsters, I can summon another from my Hand, Deck, or Graveyard"
Two more Abyss Slimes (3/500/500) appear on the field.
"I also play the Field Magic Card - Hadian Abyss!"
The field is surrounded by dark shadows and holographic water. It's as if the arena had been tossed to the bottom of a dark ocean, draining away light and filling it with dark mysteries.
"Hadian Abyss special ability increases the attack and defense of all Abyss Monsters by 500 per Abyss Monster on the Field."
Abyss Slimes x 3 (1500/1500)
"Abyss Slimes have a second ability activated when Hadian Abyss is played. They can be sacrificed to summon an Abyss Eater from my Hand, Deck, or Graveyard"
The three Slimes screech before they explode into goo that merges together and grows to form a larger monster.
Abyss Eater is very muscular humanoid monster stands over two metres with glowing white eyes, dark red scales covered in oily black markings, and grotesque tentacles emerging from it's back. It has sharp claw-like fingers, webbed toes, and tattered fins. It also has no ears or nose, but it does have a mouth filled with multiple rows of pointed teeth.
Abyss Magic Eater (7/1500/1500)
It glows slightly as the Hadian Abyss boosts it's power.
(7/2000/2000)
"Abyss Eaters each have the ability to devour."
The Abyss Eater roars and Yugi loses three cards from his hand.
"No magic card can be used when Abyss Magic Eater is on the field. Any card on the field or hand is sent to the Graveyard. Hadian Abyss also prevents any Magic card from being triggered by being sent to Graveyard." explains Queen Babylon, "It's second ability is that when it's alone on the field and Hadian Abyss is in play, it summons two more Abyss Eaters for 500 life points each."
Queen Babylon - 7000
Abyss Magic Eater - 2000/2000
Abyss Trap Eater - 1500/1500
Abyss Special Eater - 1500/1500
Two more monsters are summoned in explosions of vile black liquid. The other difference between the Three Abyss Eaters is Trap Eater has dark green scales and Special Eater has dark blue scales. All three glow as Hadian Abyss increases there power with the increased number.
Abyss Magic Eater - 3000/3000
Abyss Trap Eater - 3000/3000
Abyss Special Eater - 3000/3000
"Oh No. They are now equal to Kaiba's Blue Eyes White Dragons!"
"How dramatic. Yes. They are powerful, but I will not need them to attack your Life Points." says Queen Babylon as Trap Eater and Special Eater roar. The other cards in Yugi's hand glow and are destroyed. "Instead they eliminate your traps and monsters with special effects. Third special effect is triggered when there are no monsters on my opponent's side of the field and I have all three Abyss Eaters and Hadian Abyss in play. Summon Temple of the Abyss!"
A pyramid of greenish stone rises from the darkness. At the top are golden spikes surrounded a pit of absolute darkness, making it looked like fanged maw of some ancient sea monster.
Temple of the Abyss [8/1000/5000]
It glows with an ominous light as it's power and the Abyss Eaters are increased.
Temple of the Abyss [8/3000/7000]
Abyss Magic Eater - 3500/3500
Abyss Trap Eater - 3500/3500
Abyss Special Eater - 3500/3500
"Temple of the Abyss's effect triggers. I can send any number of cards from my deck to the Graveyard at the cost of 100 Life Points Each to send an Equal number of Cards from your Deck to the Graveyard. I send my entire remaining Deck of Cards."
The cards are removed from her Deck and her life points drop, Yugi's heart is also breaking as his deck is sent to graveyard leaving him with only five cards in his deck.
Queen Babylon - 2000
"One of those Abyss cards I sent to the Graveyard was [Rebirth of the Abyss]. It sends all cards in the Graveyard back to my Deck. Hadian Abyss gives me 200 per Card removed"
Cards fly out of the darkness as wisps of light merge with Queen Babylon
Queen Babylon - 13000
"Temple of the Abyss is destroyed after it's ability is used, but it also triggers the final Abyss Eater ability. When Temple of the Abyss is sent to the Graveyard, any Abyss Eater will trigger it's final ability. For 1000 life points, it removes up to five cards of it's type from the Deck "
Queen Babylon - 10000
Yugi's deck is gone. There is not a single card left in his hand or deck, meaning that he has Lost. He lost a duel without playing a single card or losing a single life point.
"I win. My Prize is Zorc Necrophades' Shadow Realm!"
"What!?" yells Yugi as he cries out in pain. A mixture of golden light and pitch darkness erupt from his body and flows into Babylon who face shows intense pleasure.
"If I had attacked your life points, you would have felt the pain of the shadow magic draining your life energy. Not touching them made it so you weren't aware this was a Shadow Game."
"Regina Babylonia already existed in both the Material and Astral Plane. Acquiring the Shadow Magic simply expanded my territories."
"You are a terrifying existence, your majesty." says Pegasus.
"Moving on. The payment has been made and I acknowledge the contract. Jinn Johnson, you are free of the Guardianship to marry Maximus Pegasus. I also grant my blessings of this marriage."
The couple glow a faint gold at her declaration. The magic, born of Inanna, is connected love, beauty, sex, desire, fertility, war, justice, and political power. It grants future children of blessed couples supernatural beauty and fertility, combined with enhanced talents in love, law, politics, and war.
"May I ask, what happened to Yugi afterward?"
"While his colony flourished, he didn't handle losing well. He challenged me again a month later and I used a different deck, with normal cards. He challenged me Ten Times and Lost Every Time."
The group look a little shocked at that fact. The King of Games of his Universe was defeated Ten Times in a Row without unfair tactics!?
"Finally, I grew tired of his attempts. They were no longer amusing, so I cast blessings on his wife Tea. I enhanced the Dancer's beauty, allure, and fertility, so Yugi would stop venturing far from home. I think they have five more children thanks to me."
December 2, 2019 - Team 13 and the Pegasus couples began there return to Central City.
