CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

- Part 3

Central City

Miranda Lawson is wondering how she ended up in this situation.

Miranda was born in 2150. She only had a father who is extremely influential, wealthy, and ego-maniacal. Using a modified copy of his own genome, Miranda was genetically engineered to be a specimen of human perfection. She never had a mother, as she was not conceived naturally. She was not the first "daughter" he ever designed, just the first he kept. Everything, from her intelligence, physical constitution, biotic abilities, to her appearance were designed before birth to be excellent. Despite her accomplishments, Miranda's perfectionist father never showed approval or pride towards his daughter. He always expected more and better from her — forever chiding her to be greater than she already was. The pressure eventually led to a violent separation and her joining Cerebrus -a human-survivalists paramilitary group led by the enigmatic Illusive Man - for protection.

She had many adventurers mostly revolving around the heroic Commander Shepard and his efforts to stop the bio-mechanical genocidal machines known as the Reapers. The last thing she remembers before waking in the Changed World was working on restoration plans after the defeat of the Reapers. She was happy be to reunited with Shepard and her comrades, even on this strange world, tho she noticed some of them were slightly different.

The Valentine Event resulted her waking up in bed with Commander Shepard, the asari scientist Liara T'Soni, the quarian technician Tali'Zorah vas Normandy, and female SPARTAN called Maria-062. Thankfully, Tali no longer needs her bio-protective suit due to advance medicine available, because it was in pieces when they woke up.

The powerful chaos magic ensuring all the women ended up pregnant despite being radically different species. In her Universe, Dr. Banner Grenway of Illium Medical Center said she would be unable to have children the normal way, but he never encountered physics/probability shattering magic. She heard the same story from many women, Pre-Valentine they couldn't have children for some reason or another, and after Valentine they became super fertile. She even heard some woman in a colony actually had a child with an anthromorphic bear from Disneyland, so anything is possible.

"I'm going to be a grandmother, soon." she says to her reflection.

"We know how that feels." says the voices of her Christmas shopping friends

Samus Aran - the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter known for killing space pirates and deadly alien species, before she awoke in the Changed World. She was genetically enhanced by the Chozo to survive after Space Pirates destroyed her colony and was later infused with the DNA of the life-draining Metroids in order to save her life from X Parasite infection. Those processes made her sterile, but Valentine Magic proved more powerful than advance science. She ended up in group marriage with Link, Zelda, and Princess Peach.

"Adam is going to marry Mary Russo, which means I'll be seeing Bowsette more often."

Tifa Lockhart, she's a fighter, bouncer, and AVALANCHE resistance fighter in the world of Gaea. She helped her childhood friend Cloud and there friends stop several threats to the world including the One-Winged Angel Sephiroth. She ended up with Cloud Strife and a Hylian archer called Linkle (who looks like a female Link).

"Sephiroth and Lightning's oldest son Genesis and my oldest daughter Ariel are having a kid."

Lara Croft is an famous adventurer and archaeologist known as the Tomb Raider. She explored every part of her world, encountering everything from the mundane to the supernatural. The later including the Cult of the Sun Queen Himiko on the island of Yamatai, the Immortal Deathless Ones of lost city of Kitezh, and Maya God's attempt to end the world. She had settled down to do some studying and archeology without the insane adventurer, then she awoke in the Changed World. She ended up in a group marriage with Aspen Matthews (a water-manipulating hybrid heroine of two aquatic species), Sara Pezzini ( a NYPD Police Detective that became bonded to a supernatural legacy gauntlet), and Jackie Estacado (a former mafia hit man, Don, and Dictator possessing a primordial dark power known simply as the Darkness).

"My and Jackie's son Christian turned out to be womanizer. I may have a dozen grand kids scattered across half a dozen colonies"

Jackie should have died the moment his first child was conceived, as the Darkness is passed down at the moment of conception, but the Valentine magic tapping into primordial chaos overwhelmed the Darkness (which itself is part of that Primordial Chaos). The only other time the Darkness has allowed conception of life without Death was when he used Jackie's body to father a special child using Sara Pezzini. The Darkness is still confused by Hope calling him Uncle Darkness.

"Hope is in a stable relationship and Jenny is too busy rising the Adventurer ranks to care about romance."

Hope is one of the Valentine Rebirth Children, they are children of various characters in there own world that were reborn after the Valentine Event. Given time, a child born in the changed world will recover all of there past live's memories, skills, and special abilities, in addition to what they now possess in there current lives.

Cereza is the Daughter of an Umbran Witch and Lumen Sage, part of the two clans that over look the world from the darkness and light. The Umbran Witches were destroyed and Cereza was put to sleep for five hundred years until awoken. With no memories of who she is she sets out killing Angel's under the alias: Bayonetta. She fought many powerful enemies including sending the Creator Jubileus spirit into the Sun.

Cereza isn't one to surprise easily, but she woke up next to her friend/rival Jeanne (an Umbran Witch), demon hunter Mary Arkham known as Lady, and Dante Sparda, half human son of the legendary knight Sparda who fought the forces of Hell.

"Eva got together with an Adventurer from Magia. He's some sort of hybrid between Angel, Devil, Elf, and Magical subspecies of Human. Rosa got together with an Arrancar boy named Leon. I can't believe I'm a grandmother."

"Aren't you over 600 years old?" teases Samus, knowing the woman was born December 19th,1411. She memorized a lot of records after the Halloween Event to improve her chances of survival.

"Hey! I was sealed away for over five hundred of those years"

She surprised Dante when she mentioned that her world's version (analogue) of Dante's mother Eva was a truly extraordinary witch, who entered into a contract with the legendary dark knight, and then faced the amassed armies of Inferno.

Many more Christmas Presents are being picked out in various stores. Some are humorous, some are practical, and some are very personal.

Hinata (Uzumaki) Namikaze (nee Hyuga), known as Byakugan Princess and Legendary Queen of Gluttony, looks at the sealing scroll in her hand. She has presents for her husband, children, and grandchildren. She also has presents for the other members of Militia Team 7 which includes her husband (Naruto Namikaze, the 7th Hokage),Naruto Ōtsutsuki (the Reborn Asura), Naruto Greenwood (the Shaman), Naruto Leviathan (the Golden Devil), and Naruko Senju (the Medic).

She notices a rack of Christmas Cards addressed to various family members - grandparents, father, mother, son, daughter, uncle, aunt, niece, and nephew.

The Naruto Militia has thousands of versions of Naruto. Together with there have wives and husbands (mostly in case of Naruko), they have thousands of children. After twenty years, there are now thousands of grandchildren. Since the members of Naruto Milita consider themselves brothers (and sisters), Hinata essentially has thousands of nephews and nieces, and now grand nephews and nieces.

Tho the cards are nice, she's glad she doesn't get cards. She wouldn't want them to sacrifice a rare tree every holiday.

"Merry Christmas! Enjoy the Season with Christmas Cakes!"

Hinata turns to see three girls dressed in red and white fur Christmas outfits showing flyers with images of various coloured cakes. It takes a minute, but Hinata recognizes the girls as daughters of some of her Central City friends

"Café Caramel Christmas Cakes. Taste the love of Season."

One is fairly tall (176 cm) , physically fit, and well-toned woman of Asian descent with black/gray eyes, pale skin, and shoulder-length shaggy black hair. She looks very much like her mother - Mikasa Ackerman.

Mikasa probably never heard of Christmas in her world. It's an alternate history, where she lives on an alternative Madagascar called Paradise. Thousands of years ago, a woman named Ymir Fritz came in contact with a powerful entity and gained the power to transform into a giant known as a Titan. She also had the ability to create and control man-eating Pureblood Titans that could never return to human form. When she died, the power was split between the Eldian King and the noble lines.

With this power and an army of Pureblood Titans, they forged a great empire, but were greedy and blood thirsty. They fought against each other and there enemies plotted. The King disgusted with his own people retreated to Paradise and build a kingdom behind three giant walls forged from the bodies of Pure Titans. Then he made his people forget the outside world, so they could live in peace.

The former slaves if the Eldians Empire rose up and destroyed the Empire, with the people of Marley imprisoning Eldians in camps much like Nazis did to Jews in the 1940s. The human devouring Titans that would plague Paradise were Edlians that resisted the rule of the Marley government, transformed into monsters to devour there own people.

Mikasa fought against these monsters after the wall was breeched by Warriors - Eldian Agents of Marley possessing the Titan Shifting powers inherited from Ymir. She fought along side her friends Armin - who would one day acquire the power of the Colossal Titan - and her adopted brother Eren - who possesses the power of both the Attack Titan and Coordinate Power, that the Marley agents were hunting.

When she awoke in changed world, she went searching for her friends and found Eren. The strange magic of the world had changed him, so the Curse of Ymir was no longer killing him but he had permanently lost the Coordinate. They survived in colonies until the Valentine Event and Sasha Yeager was born.

The second woman is a young woman who has a slim yet strong build standing 171 cm (5'7"). She has big blue eyes, fair skin, and spiky bright red hair. She looks almost identical to her mother Kallen Kōzuki, also known as Kallen Stadtfeld.

Kallen never found Christmas to be important. She is form an alternate history Earth in which the British Empire (known as The Holy Britannian Empire) conquered much of the world. A world where Queen Elizabeth 1 had a son to create a Golden Age, the American Revolution failed, and the heart of the Empire moved from Britain to America. In this world, Japan was conquered for it;s supply of Sakuradite (the super fuel of that world), it's people suppressed and renamed Elevens instead of Japanese. Kallen was half-Japanese half-Britannian resistance fighter who became involved with the man that would change the world - Exiled Prince Lelouch vi Britannia also known as Lelouch Lamperouge and the dark clad hero Zero.

When she awoke in the Changed World , she found herself standing next to Lelouch and almost believed she had died and gone to the depths of hell. Lelouch played the part of the villain after defeating/erasing his parents Charles zi Britannia and Marianne vi Britannia and there plans to unify the world's souls. He played the part of Demon Emperor, so after his assassination by his best friend, his sister Nunnally vi Britannia could live in a peaceful world. Not only were they fighting monsters in years that followed, but a lot of issues.

Shirley Lamperouge was named after a classmate they wished they could have saved.

The last one is a Japanese beauty standing 166 cm with an athletic build. She has brown eyes, light skin, and long dark blue hair that is tied in a red bow. She looks completely identical to her mother - Kaname Chidori.

Kaname Chidori and her friend/co-wife Teletha Testarossa were both born on December 24, 1984 (Christmas Eve). They are both Whispered, hose who are capable of creating Black Technology, devices that are far more advanced than those of present time. They exist because of an accident in a Soviet experiment using a machine called an Omni-Sphere on December 24, 1981. All Whispered were born in December 24, 1981 at 11:50.

In order to protect her, Mithril - anti-terrorist private military company - send an agent to act as bodyguard. The problem is while a excellent soldier, Sousuke Sagara knew nothing about being a normal Japanese student. He lacked social understanding and often saw military threats. He did protect her from terrorists including Mithril's enemy the terrorist organization Amalgam.

In Changed World, Sousuke Sagara protected his girl using every weapon he had and every one he could get his hands on. He also ended up becoming friends with other former child soldiers such as Johnathan Mar also known as Jonah of Koko Hekmatyar's squad (Jormungand), and the various Gundam Pilots that ended up as protagonists due to a lot of people dying.l

Ayame Sagara is named after Kaname's still missing little sister.

"Ayame, Shirley, and Sasha. You're the spitting image of your mothers at there age."

"Hi Aunt Hinata want to buy a Christmas Cake?" says Shirley, "We need the cash."

"What happened?"

Flashback - A couple of days ago.

"So what did you get your dad?" asks Shirley, carrying a couple packages because she can't use an Interspacial Ring or Sealing scroll.

"Swiss Army Knife. Dad has always been one for practicality." says Ayame, "It's a copy of a Swiss Champ Pocket Knife - 32 stainless-steel tools enhanced by one of those stronger and lighter than Titanium alloys."

"What about your Dad, Shirley?"

"Upgraded Scroll with a Chess VI and Electronic Picture Book." says Shirley, opening a small book to show a young woman's face. "He's always worried about Aunt Nunnally, even tho she married a nice guy who could curb stomp an army."

"Your dad changed a world to protect her." adds Ayame

"He also made her cry by removing himself from it." adds Sasha

"What about your Dad, Sasha?" asks Shirley

"I have no Idea. Maybe I'll get him a camera. The first thing they discovered about the world outside the walls of there island kingdom was a photo inside grandpa's journal." says Sasha, "Dad is just glad to be alive since according to him his Titan powers should have killed him years ago."

"I don't see him using that power often." notes Shirley

"The Titan power was used to fight against other Titans, but it's not as useful against other monsters. When fighting other giants, the Attack Titan is surprisingly light meaning even mid level giant monsters can easily throw him. He's 15 meters tall, but a 5 meter monster could throw him across a football field. He's also not even close to the size of the true Dai-Kaiju."

Dai-Kaiju or Giant Monsters are monsters that are so large and powerful, they are considered walking natural disasters, forces of nature beyond human control. These include insect-like Earth goddess Mothra (80 m length), the King of Monsters Godzilla (106.5 m), the King of Terror King Ghirorah (150 m), Arrakis Sand Worms (450 m), and the Leviathan (6700 m). Even the 60 meter Colossal Titan would be considered weak trash in comparison.

"Hey! Be Careful with those Shipments!"

The three turn to see the three-eyed genius of cooking Charlotte Pudding yelling at a couple of workers. She uses Charlotte Pudding in Business despite being married to Mr. Vinsmoke just because it sells better. Her shouting is impressive since both men are over seven feet tall and extremely muscular, one having orange stone skin and a bald head, and the other having emerald green skin and dark green hair.

The Shipments she is talking about is a container of small dark brown bead pods.

"What is this stuff?" asks the Green one

"Super Cocoa bean. It's a new creation from Magia and a potential source of chocolate.", replies Pudding

"Don't you already sell chocolates?" asks Green

"Yes, but the my sources are mostly from Toriko's world, mutations caused by the Gourmet cells. Chocolate Mushrooms, Chocorn, and Chocolatomato. I even own a shielded area containing calamity-resistant trees, half that produce chocolate syrup instead of maple syrup." says Charlotte Pudding, "I'm always looking for the superior sweets."

"I heard Monster Girls get a power boost from chocolate?" asks Orange as he notices pictures of cat girls, bunny girls, and fox girls

"Twenty percent increase in attack power over a period of two to fourteen days depending on the amount consumed and quality of the chocolate. Macaroons boost defense by the same amount." says Pudding, "I originally hunted for other boosters, but then someone sent me a Corruption Fruit. Too much messy paperwork, so I let my sister shop handle it."

"What kind of fruit is that?" asks Orange

"It's from the same world as the half-succubi monster girls. It teardrop shaped blue fruit full of white squishy pulp and black seeds. It boosts a person's absorption of mana, but the fruit from the Pandemonium is banned. The only place you'll find that stuff is my sister shop in Regina Babylonia."

Regina Babylonia, the kingdom of Queen Babylon, born from the Brothel at the End of the World. Queen Babylon is an incarnation of Inanna - Goddess of love, beauty, sex, desire, fertility, war, justice, and political power - also known as Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, and Venus. It's a land of lust, beauty, fertility, and sexuality, the largest home of hedonists, tantric masters, sex angels and demons on Earth.

"In the Queen's land, they use Tear Candy to boost there enjoyment, but they can transform non-succubi or those with low magical resistance."

"Spreading transformation items without asking has caused the collapse of many colonies." comments Pudding, "Babylon is more loose with regulations."

Listening to odd conversations usually doesn't cause any problems as they were talking openly, not attempting to be secretive. The problem is listening to the conversations of other can be distracting and you can fail to see warning. Such as sign saying "Caution: Wet Floor. Slippery"

Ayame, Shirley, and Sasha fall to the ground in a jumbled mess. The packages slid everywhere. The green and orange delivery men protect the shipment from harm, but in the process of trying to grab the sliding packages, a trash bin slides into window of the Café, breaking it.

"You paid for the broken window."

"Yes."

"So why are you handing out Flyers?"

"We ate some sweets. Then realized after paying for the gifts and the window, he didn't have enough to pay the full bill. Miss Pudding was Mad."

"She's used a clothing changing beam to put us in these cursed outfits. The curse being we can't leave or remove them until we have passed out all the flyers or she decides to release us if he we fail."

The Clothing Change Beam is a weird bit of magic created from studying the magical transformations of various magical girls and Magic Materialization - a magic ability used by some high level beings such as Dragon Clan Namekian Piccolo and his son (Valentine magic insured even asexual reproducing humanoids produced offspring). It's a magical technique that allows a person to instantly change the clothing of another person. It can equip armor to those needing protection/protective clothing or strip those lacking magical protection. Most Adventurers wear armor and/or protective clothing shielded against those types of spells. Civilians in casual wear getting Christmas presents don't have that shielding.

Hinata decides to help out the three.

"I'll order a couple of cakes and take the remainder of the Flyers. I'll have the Militia spread them. Is that accepted?"

A faint glow around the wrists of the outfits indicates the proposal is accepted.

A very beautiful woman of noble birth sits at a Café table. She stands 160 cm (5'3) with black eyes, pale skin, and long black hair. A lovely, beautiful girl who captivates whoever sets their eyes on her, possessing absolute confidence in herself and her brother.

Miyuki Shiba is known by many titles - Snow Queen, Blizzard Princess, and Princess of the Yotsuba. In her world, magical was researched by scientists and became another field of science to exploit for technological development. Born March 25, 2080, she is a noble daughter of the Yotsuba Clan - one of the two most influential and strongest houses in the Ten Master Clans. She excelled in magic becoming a student of premiere First High School in 2095, rising from secretary of Student Council to President by her third year in 2097.

"I should pick something up for Tatsuya."

She is completely dedicated to her brother Tatsuya. Her love for her brother comes to such an extent that she is willing to offer her heart and body to Tatsuya. Tatsuya do to experimented done on him in his youth, literally has no feelings other than for his sister.

Tatsuya is a genius magical engineer possessing a innate unique magic of Decomposition (destroying anything) and Rebirth (restoring himself and others). He was known as genius engineer Taurus Silver to the scientific world, but he was also known as Mahesvara (Demon of Okinawa), The Destroyer, God of Destruction, The Last Boss, and Demon King. Anyone that threatened Miyuki's life didn't live long

"How are doing, brocon princess?"

Miyuki is a pristine princess most of the time, but the Satan-level demonic magical girl Serafall Leviathan tests her patience.

"I was up until a minute ago. I wish you wouldn't call me that."

"You beautiful clan princess who fell hopelessly in love your brother, became his official fiancee, and in changed world - married him."

"He is the only man in my life."

"So, did you hear the news?"

Miyuki is grateful to be talking gossip instead of her personal life.

Riguras of Tempest has official been made the heir of Tempest Goblins, which Goblin Slayer is still calling "Green Tusked Elves". What's even stranger is other Colonies have started calling the Goblins of Tempest village other names like Tempest Goblinoids, Tempest Elves, and Green Tempest Elves. This is because Goblin Slayer is considered the expert on goblin slaying and low goblins in general, so if he doesn't consider them goblins, nobody should either. The same is true for the attractive goblin monster girls and the more civilized goblins of Harry Potter's Magical Britain. Riguras isn't protesting the name change because he doesn't want his people associated with the vermin that Goblin Slayer kills.

Nana of the Diclonus, a popular receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild, is setting up a Christmas Party for the Guild. She hired both Orange Fox and Café Caramel to do the catering. They haven't work together since the "Billion Cake Incident". Pudding and Sanji used gourmet "golden pudding" eggs of the billion bird that she got from Komatsu. The cake was super delicious "Food-gasm" level by even Gourmet Hunter standards, but it also made everyone's hair grow super long and luxurious, including eye lashes!

The Leprechaun Pirates McMorgan and O'Mammah are expected another child, the same with Princess O'Lura and O'Knuckle. What disturbing is it's believed they conceived the night after the Uompa Luopa (oompa loompa) genocide. The visiting Voltron Paladins were also disturbed at meeting there magical Leprechaun counterparts. The pilots of the Legendary robot lions are flexible with LGBT Shiro, female genius Pidge, and Keith being half-extraterrestrial (from the same species as the alien empire Voltron is fighting), but magical Leprechaun seems to be there limit.

"Serafall!"

"Azazel!"

The former Governor General of the Fallen Angels and Grigori walks up the former Satan of the devils. He shopping with two of his interesting friends, a young man/Homunculus named Sieg that he met on a Dragon Train and his wife legendary heroine Jeanne d'Arc

"Whose the beautiful Ice princess?"

Azazel's artificial Sacred Gear contains the soul of the dragon Fafnir, who has his own perverted opinion on things.

"This is Miyuki Shiba. The only human magic user that comes close to my ice magic and a friend of mine."

"Shiba as in Tatsuya Shiba, the genius magical engineer. He's helping me with several projects. His destructive and restorative abilities are also amazing, especially for a baseline human."

"Thank you."

"Tatsuya? It's pleasure to meet you, Miss Shiba. I hope I didn't offend you."

"It's nice to meet you, dragon spirit. May I know your name."

"I am the Golden Dragon Monarch, Gigantis Dragon, Fafnir. I was killed by Siegfried who wielded the Demon Sword Gram and now currently exist inside Azazel's Artificial Sacred Gear - Downfall Dragon Spear"

"So polite, Fafnir. Not a single comment, why the change."

"Mr Shiba's material burst scares the non-existent crap out of me! I will not offend his wife!"

"So, what have you been up to, Azazel?"

"I've been working on artificial sacred gears using materials and techniques from various worlds. I've also been keeping my eye on people with unique potential."

"Same as usual, huh?" asks Serafall.

"We did encounter Dragon Slayer Arc."

"He's here!?"

Arc is a man who retained his pre-Halloween memories and personality as Archibald, while possessing the powers, skills, and dragon transformation of Acnologia, The Black Dragon in the Book of Apocalypse. What makes the Dragon Slayer of Earthland so dangerous is he has no fixed element, allowing him to consume all elements of magic.

Due to the Valentine Event he ended up marrying an incarnation fo Irene Balserion, the Scarlet Despair, original Dragon Slayer, and Enchantment Dragon. There daughter Sonya is Copy Dragon Slayer, who can not only consume any form of magic, but cast any magic she has consumed. She eventually married Valgarv, an Ancient Dragon from a sword and sorcery world.

"Valgarv and Sonya are having a baby and the tests say the kid is going to be powerful."

"How powerful?"

"Powerful. All the higher dragons can sense the baby's energy. When a medical wizard attempted a scan, he was blasted across the room from the feedback. He or she also melted a Ultrasound machine."

"Ooh. It's like every new generation is being born to kick the rears of the previous"

"My own son is nearly stronger than I am despite the age difference and your daughter froze an entire colony solid."

"To be fair the colony was infested by man-eating monster trees disguised as Christmas Trees."

"Nezu, slow down!"

A young man with red eyes, tanned skin with a birthmark on his forehead, and ruffled black hair with burgundy tips. He's dressed om a blue, cloud-patterened jinbei-styled kimono and black pants. He also wears distinctive hanafuda earrings, which identify him as the Demon Slayer - Tanjirō Kamado.

His sister Nezuko Kamado is a petite young girl with fair skin, pale skin, and prominent fangs Her hair is long, dark brown and reaches just below her waist, turning an vermilion color as it passes her elbows. She's currently looking and drooling at the candy in the window.

When they were younger, there family was attacked by an Oni. Nezuko was transformed into Oni, but due to her brother's love she was able to overcome the hunger for human flesh. He became a Demon Slayer to find a way to return his sister to normal with her travelling with him. Things became even more complicated when the progenitor of the demons Muzan Kibutsuji learned of Tanjirō, seeing a connection to the Demon Slayer Yoriichi Tsugikuni of the Sengoku period, the one person that nearly killed Muzan. It became even more complicated when Nezuko developed an immunity from sunlight, which is instantly lethal to her world's demons. This made her the Chosen Demon target of Muzan. Muzan died do them and there friends.

In the Changed World, they had access to various magic that allowed Nezuko to live a more normal life. A short time ago, Nezuko reached the point where she was a human with demonic powers than being a demon herself. She could still change size, grow stronger with sleep, and ignite spilled blood, but she no longer hungered for human flesh and could live her life like a human.

In the Changed World, Muzan Kibutsuji also appeared alive again, but unlike his previous world, he was no longer surrounded by easy ignorant human prey. His regeneration was put to the test in his escapes from powerful warriors, bizarre mystics, strong metahumans, insanely powerful magical girls, and a lot of androids. Weaponized sunlight was not a rare resource in this new world, despite the Red Sky blocking most sunlight. Recently, Karas and Tanjirō sliced him to pieces for a second time, and Escanor incinerate every last bit of flesh with a Cruel Sun. Every single cell turned to dust and a local Soul Reaper God personally sent the soul to the lowest depths of hell.

Abandoned Colony - Zucker

Team 2

Central City's Adventurer's Guild Team 2 is on a mission to investigate strange activities at the remote colony of Zucker . It's a mission to pay for the remaining presents on the Christmas Lists of the Adventurers.

Zucker is a small colony, originally a farming community founded by a German immigrant. It was a beautiful town, but economic problems had them closing businesses for many years. It was a barely known about town when the Halloween Event occurred, which is the main reason it was able to survive. There was a hidden fallout shelter, it's entrance in a apple farmer's cellar.

The enemies are bizarre looking creatures. They resemble faceless male and female humanoids resembling mannequins composed of hard translucent material. They are a rainbow of colours, but the majority are ruby red, emerald green, dark brown, and snow white. They attack not only with strong physical attacks, but can make there bodies elastic and generate absurdly sharp blades from there bodies.

What is absurd about these golems is they are composed of Candy! Each minion is composed of Sugar Candy, born of concentrated sugar solution like hard candies, fondants, caramels, jellies, and nougats.

"These creatures remind me of humanoid slimes, but made of candy instead of slime." says the scout of Team 2, as her supersonic fist sends one minion flying. It breaks in large pieces as it hits the ground. The pieces then stretch like soft caramel to link to each other and then pull the pieces together. The damaged areas liquify, flow, and harden into an undamaged state "It's not hard to knock them down, it's hard to keep them down."

The Scout and Lancer of Team 2 is lean athletic girl standing five foot eight zips across the battle field shattering minions. She has pale blue eyes behind flight goggles and short spiky Rainbow-striped hair. She's dressed in a blue and silver speed suit worn by speedsters like members of the Flash family.

She is Iris Dash, also known as Blue Mercury, daughter of two famous speedsters not related to the Flash Family.

Rainbow Dash, who was a human star athlete at Canterlot High, who gained superhuman speed after being exposed otherworldly Equestrian magic. She used her abilities to help her friends and protect people from those who would abuse magic for there own selfish gain.

On the Changed World, she has encountered many analogues of herself such as the Pegasus Pony heroine of Equestria and the Anthro Pegasus warrior of Fantasy Equestria. She also encountered many speedsters, evil versions that became her enemy and good versions that became her friends and rivals. She often competed/raced with incarnations of herself and Sonic the Hedgehog. After the Valentine Event, she found herself awakening next to Applejack and Sonic, much to there shock.

The Prime version of Sonic the Hedgehog is a Hedgehog Mobian - anthropomorphic animals descended from Earth animals mutated by gene-bomb bombardment of the alien Xorda. The same bombardment that transformed Earth into Mobius. The Sonic that became Iris's father is actually a human with speedster powers. Mobians in his world are similar to mutants and meta-humans.

"There is no end to them." yells Iris, as her super speed kick slices threw more minions. "Should I go Super!?"

"You can only do it for a limited amount of time." says the Leader, "Save it in case of a Boss."

The Leader of Team two is a young man standing 170 cm (5'7) with blue eyes, long blonde hair, and pointed ears of a Hylian. He's dressed in dark green uniform with long cape, carrying a magic sword and shield, with a bow and quiver on his back.

He is Locke, son of Hero Link and Princess Zelda of Hyrule, wielders of the Triforce of Courage and Wisdom respectively.

Incarnations of Link and Princess Zelda of Hyrule have together for thousands of years. It began when the Hero Link and Princess Zelda possessing the blood of Goddess Hylia killed the demon king Demise and Demise cursed them to be haunted by the incarnation of his wrath Ganon. This locked them into a cycle for thousands of years, in multiple time lines. Sometimes they have been friends and some times they have been lovers, with several incarnations of Zelda being descended from those pairings.

In the Changed World, they found each other again. During the Colony Wars, they even encountered Calamity Ganon - a version of Ganon that had been completely consumed by Demise's curse of hatred that discarded the incarnation of human aspect Ganondorf. That battle ended when Demise was forcibly resurrected, which absorbed and destroyed Ganon, and then Demise himself was killed again without being able to create another curse.

The Valentine Event resulted in Locke's birth and the birth of his half-siblings by Princess Peach Toadstool of Mushroom Kingdom and Samus Aran, Bounty Huntress and Heiress of the Chozo.

"Lets try a different method." says Locke as he puts away his sword and shield, and taps a slate near his side. He raises his hands and a blue/silver sphere slightly larger than basketball appears. He tosses the sphere a group of Candy soldiers, which then detonates in a shrapnel-less explosion. The candy-based humanoid are blown to bits, but quickly begin to reform. Locke raises his hands and another bomb forms, then shifts from blue/silver to red/gold emitting small flames. He tosses the bomb and the regenerating Candies are caught in fiery explosion that burns the ground like napalm. The blackened candy fragments don't regenerate.

"Brilliant."

The Smart Girl of Team 2 is a Spider Girl. Under the black/white mask of the heroine is a beautiful woman of mixed heritage. She stands 178 cm (5'10) with the same lean athletic build as most of the Spider Clan with blue eyes, dark skin, and long dark brown hair. She also has sharp teeth and retractable talons

She is Dana O'Hara, the daughter of two future heroes - Miguel O'Hara known as Spider-Man 2099 and Eleanor Camacho, one of two known as Deadpool.

Miguel O'Hara, an engineer of Irish and Mexican descent, made the unfortunate choice of Alchemax, the evil mega-corporation at the heart of corrupt cyberpunk future of 2099. When the pressure from his boss Tyler Stone became too much (including a human test that ended in the patient's death) he tried to leave Alchemax. Tyler poisoned Miguel with a highly addictive drug called Rapture that kep Miguel bound to the company. Miguel used his own genetic technology to heal himself, but saobtage by his jealous supervisor, Aaron Delgato, resulted in him become the Spider-Man of 2099.

Eleanor Camacho was a normal little girl except her father was the merc with the mouth Deadpool. Emily's mother thought her daughter would be better off not being raised by Deadpool, and even Deadpool thought the same. He does care for his daughter, slaughtering anyone who dares try to harm her. She was raised by Agent Emily Preston, a former SHIELD Agent whose soul ended up bonded to a holo-computer. Her mutant power is resurrection, meaning any time she dies, she reverts back to the form she had when her powers awakened, as a teenager. In 2099, the title of Deadpool was shared between her and her crazier half-succubus half-sister Warda Wilson.

"I guess you didn't like Itsy Bitsy?"

Deadpool. This is reason why I don't like writing about you.

"Oh, I'm hurt. You have my movies and my comics, but you can't handle me?"

Solution. At this moment, Deadpool's wife demon queen Shiklah is having another baby. If Deadpool doesn't get home soon, his wife will make him experience castration by claws multiple times.

"Oh No Fair! Sorry, granddaughter, I have to go!"

"What the Hell was that about!?" asks Iris Dash, "Why did your grandfather appear out of nowhere, talk to himself while slicing up Candies with flaming chainsaw, then run off again!?"

"Grandpa has this weird ability to see other dimensions that observe our own" says Dana, "He sees this world as a text-heavy fan fiction written by a Canadian."

"Sorry, that I asked."

"I hear that a lot."

The Big Guy/Tank of Team 2 is a very muscular giant standing 246 cm (8'1) with red eyes, gray-green skin, and short black hair. He wears a black sleeveless shirt, black pants, and huge black boots. His weapon of choice is a huge spiked bat made of black metal resembling a Japanese Kanabo.

He is John Morris Walters, Gray King, son of a dark version of Robert Bruce Banner, known as the King Hulk.

Robert Bruce Banner grew up hating his weak and frail body and wanted to be powerful, strong, and big like Captain America. He dedicated his life towards genetic enhancement and duplicating the Super Soldier Serum in the hopes of secretly empowering himself. The result was a vicious version of Hulk that acted on it's impulse and resulted in the partial destruction of Harlem. While instrumental in stopping the Chitauri, he was still sentenced to death for the killing of eight hundred people. When he awoke in the Changed World, he was bombarded by radiation from a destroyed power plant. During the Colony Wars, he became the Tyrant of the Wasteland - Mad King Bruce, the Ultimate Maestro.

The Mad King Bruce of Gamma Colony was killed by an group of Adventurer containing other versions of the Hulks. They freed many slaves, destroyed many weapons that would have targeted there colonies, and killed many monsters created from Bruce's mad science. The Adventurers discovered and freed a harem of young women in a fallout shelter. This Harem contained several green and gray skinned children fathered by the King. They also found baby John, who was adopted by a version of Bruce's cousin She-Hulk.

John swings his metal bat and the candy soldiers explode on impact. He then shows why he carries a hard metal bat when his own skin is harder, when rings of runes appear around the base of each spike and it spike generates flames. The next group of attackers are blasted into flaming fragments that ignite the ones on the ground.

The Medic/Support of Team 2 is a young woman of Latino-America descent with sky blue eyes, light skin, and long dark brown hair. She's dressed in protective clothing with the marked hooded coat of medic. She also carries a silver staff with a star symbol and a silver snake wrapped around it.

She is Ciel "Sky Butterfly" Diaz, first daughter of former Mewni Princess Star Butterfly and Earth born warrior Marco Diaz.

Sky is the oldest of the children of Star and Marco, actually conceived slightly before the Valentine Event, but still benefiting from the magic. During those early days, her mother Star was seriously injured by a demonic beast, only surviving because of early adventurers. She was restored by powerful healing magic and the unborn Ciel became attuned to White Magic. Ciel was named after the heroine that saved her mother's life

Ciel Butterfly is jealous of her little sister Snow Butterfly is up North, talking with Santa Claus with her Alicorn friend, while she gets stuck with this mission. That is what is on her mind as she captures her candy opponents in translucent bubbles of magic. This spell is normally a protective spell, creating shields around the injured and defenseless, but she learned barriers could be used offensively from a pair of Kekkaishi (Japanese barrier priests) Yoshimori and Tokine. The glowing bubble barriers implode turning the candies inside into clouds of powdered sugar!

Suddenly, a pink mist flows across the battlefield and all the candy soldiers stop moving, become as rigid as the mannequins they resemble.

"Hey! Who hit the Pause button?"

"That would be me." says a mysterious voice.

A tall woman in a hooded black robe stands on a hill near the Adventurers. There is a pause as her clothing ripples in the faint wind.

"Why are you being dramatic?"

"Seemed appropriate" says the woman as she pulls back her hood to reveal a beautiful woman's pale pink face with dark pink eyes and long dark pink hair. "I am the woman accidentally responsible for this mess. My name is Princess Bubblegum, Princess of the Candyland of the Continent of Ooo."

Watchtower, Town Limits

Princess Bubblegum explained her origins.

She comes from an alternate Earth in which magic rises and falls in a cycle and four elemental beings exist, the elements being Fire, Ice, Slime, and Candy. After a thermonuclear war called the Mushroom War, Princess Bonnibel "Bonnie" Bubblegum was birthed from a massive, blob-like hive mind made of pink gum known as the Mother Gum. In time, she founded a kingdom of candy ruled by herself. Over the centuries there were many adventurers but none as epic as the ones solved by the adventurers Finn the Human and Jake the (shape-shifting) Dog. She eventually ended up in a romantic relationship with the Vampire Queen Marceline at the end of the last Great War between her forces and the forces of Uncle Gumbald (an uncle she created centuries ago, but disposed of when he tried to get rid of her).

In the Changed World, she encountered many friendly characters in the town of Zucker. Due to special rules about Halloween costumes, the town wasn't flooded with man-eating monsters. The various characters worked together to create a sustainable community, but over time a darkness spread among the people.

"I'm not sure when it began, but people started to become more hostile. Barney was killed by a roaming gang that passed by the town, beaten to death with a baseball bat and two-by-four. It was Strawberry Shortcake that finally snapped and murdered Purple Pie-man. New monsters began to appear and out little community was being ripped apart."

Princess Bubblegum eventually created the first candy soldiers to protect the Colony, using a combination of her own magi-science and a wizard's alchemy. The growing number of threats forced her to create a larger army with more advance models to act as commanders. The commanders were created using magic stones taken from monsters to provide magical abilities and greater intelligence. Eventually, she create an extremely advance General who became ambitious.

"So, it's one of those scenarios." says Iris, "This is not the first time a scientist's creation has gone out of control and attempted to replace it's creator."

"Really? How many times?"

"Let's see. The androids of Iron Valley Colony, the plant pod people of Rosewood Colony, the dwarf automatons of Black Iron, the puppets of Aitkenvale, and several I can't remember."

"I suddenly don't feel as bad. So, can you help me stop this mess?"

"How do we stop it?" asks Locke

"You need to get past the Commanders and defeat the General Schwarz Gummi. The Pink Mist I used to stop the soldiers doesn't work on the Commanders or the General, and my team got captured during a raid last week. I've barely been able to keep the remaining civilians protected. All I could do was send out a signal to the other colonies hoping Adventurers would come to own town."

Sweet Apple Factory

21st of December, 2019

The first Commander is located in a Factory that produces the Candy Soldiers. It was formerly a factory that processed apples, but the machines now pour liquid candy into moulds to create parts, assemble the parts into mannequin-like bodies, then awaken them to life using an injection of bubblegum pink magic liquid. He was attempting to awaken new soldiers, but one of Bubblegum's allies detonate Pink Mist bombs in the air vents.

Locke's Legendary Hero father Link is known for his ability to use various forms of magical weapons and items.. Since childhood Locke has been trained swordsmanship, archery, and many other skills, even learning magic and whip skills from his mother. Every time he's faced a strong monster during his time as an adventurer, h's always been thankful for his parents dedication. At this moment, he's very grateful as he faces the Armsmaster Commander - Commander Green

The candy soldier commander is a towering, muscular humanoid standing 230 cm tall (7'6'') with citrine yellow eyes, dark green skin, and flaming red hair. He has a cruel, cunning face with thick eyebrows and sharp teeth. He's dressed in a red/brown military uniform with a black cape and carrying two sharp swords, one long and one short.

Locke is surprised how much the Commander looks like Ganondorf Dragmire, the King of the Gerudo, who became his parent's greatest enemy - Ganon. When Calamity Ganon was absorbed with Demon King Demise's rebirth, Ganondorf was discarded and manifested as his own person. Now free of the incarnation of Demise's wrath and still possessing the Triforce of Power, he actually formed his only colony/kingdom is the desert wastelands. What is slightly disturbing is he has Harem of former princesses, who willing stay with him for power and protection, which includes his Aunt Aryll and "Aunt" Linkle.

Locke avoids the absurdly sharp blades of Commander Green's swords, and counters with his own sword which Green blocks. Locke spins and delivers a insanely fast slash to Green's stomach, slicing cleanly threw the armour, but the candy man isn't slowed in the slightest. Locke loses the tip of one of his golden locks to the edge of one of Green's swords.

Locke pulls out a magical golden bow and fires a barrage of fiery arrows, only for Green to counter with his magic cape which stop every projectile. Locke tosses a fire bomb that causes a very hot explosion, but fails to cause the damage Locke wanted. Instead Green slides across the ground, his cape acting like a shield.

Green throws dark green darts into the air, where the hit the Factory's catwalk and explode causing the mess of steel to fall. Locke would be crushed, if he hadn't activated another part of the Sheikah Slate. Two flexible streams of blue-purple energy shoot from Locke's hands and catch the falling steel. Green moves to slice the distracted Locke, only for Locke to toss the broken walkway at Green. Commander Green is hit by the steel bars and mesh plates, pinning him to the wall of the factory.

Locke doesn't give Green a chance to react, activating another Rune ability. Translucent golden chains grab the broken walkway, freezing it in place and time, making it impossible for the Commander to move. Locke makes a huge war hammer appear from his inventory and strikes the steel pinning the commander over and over again. It doesn't appear to be doing any damage, but the faint golden glow does turn red. The golden chain image shatters and the walkway flies threw the wall of factory, in the process tearing Commander Green to pieces.

Locke tosses a fiery spherical bomb and Commander Green's fragmented body begins to melt.

Main Base Outer Wall.

The main Base of Zucker is divided into different sections with the a group of centaur-like soldiers patrolling the main wall that protects the main base's surface level. Normally there are a thousand soldiers armed with bows, crossbows, and rifles, but the pink mist has rendered them statues. Only the Commander is still moving. Iris Dash is assigned to fight the Calvary Commander

The candy soldier commander is a tall, lean humanoid standing 200 cm tall (6'7) with amber-yellow eyes, dark chocolate brown skin, and braided black hair resembling licorice reaching his shoulders. He has a very confident, arrogant look on his handsome face. He's dressed in a dark blue uniform with gold armor pieces on his upper torso, wrists, and ankles. He carries a large bow and a cavalry sword

"Your not a centaur like the others?"

Commander Brown smirks as he approaches on his centaur soldiers. He climbs on the centaur's back and the soldier's humanoid body begins to liquefy and flow around the Commander as the Commander's legs sink into horse's body. Iris can only stand and watch as the two soldiers fuse together into a single being.

The result is Commander Brown becoming the upper humanoid body of the now larger centaur. The horse part of the fusion has changed from white coat with a white tail, to dark brown coat and black horse tail. He then fires a several arrows from his bow at the same time.

Suddenly, Iris has planted both feet into Commander Brown's chest creating a small shock wave, Iris flips back as Commander Brown slides back by a small amount. Commander Brown is then kicked in the head and punched twenty times in the stomach. The rainbow haired speedster streaks across the battlefield, striking the Commander over and over again.

"Your not going to be able to hit me with those arrows." says Iris, as she holds up one the sharp barbed black arrows. The Commander continues to smile, then Iris is forced to let go of the arrow and it becomes more thorny than a rose bush. She then turns to where the other arrows were fired, they missed her, but hit several of the immobile soldiers. They are no longer immobile, having transformed into clones of the Commander still armed with the various weaponry.

"I came here to fight you, not your little clone army." says Iris as the clones pull the triggers, "I guess I'll just have to speed things up!"

Lightning seems to explode off Iris and to the Commander and his men, she vanishes. In a frozen word of acceleration, Iris grabs the cavalry sword of the Commander, using her speed to slice threw the commander and every clone soldier. She ignores the poisoned crossbow bolts and bullets in the air, even knocking a few out of her way. There are droplets of glowing molten liquid in the air from her slashes moving at insane speeds.

When Iris reappears, the Commander and his clone soldiers are explosively sliced to pieces. Iris then watches the liquefied candy from the destroyed soldiers flows across the ground towards the Commander whose already regenerating. Iris then manifests glowing wings behind her. She runs towards the Commander whose frozen in time, while her own fist is glowing blue with magical energy and speed force. As he fist collides, there is a flash of light. This is an explosion as the Commander Brown's body explodes into a storm of fiery sugary fragments.

Iris pauses to watch the now lifeless caramel drip off the stone walls, then vanishes in a blue blur.

Colony Power Generator

Dana O'Hara also known as Pale Spider or Ghost Spider 2099 is fighting the most bizarre of the Commanders in the shadowy corridors neat to the Colony's power generator.

The candy soldier commander is a short, lean humanoid standing only 160.3cm (5'2") with red eyes, dark purple skin, and a smooth gourd shaped head. He's dressed in dark brown clothing with a wrapped head and carrying a Shakujo - Buddhist ringed staff used primarily in prayer or weapon that originate from India.

"I am Ninja Commander Calabash. I am the one that seeks your death."

"I am Dana O'Hara, Adventurer, I defy Death."

Calabash breathes out a thick purple smoke, that fills the corridor and vanishes into the smoke. Even threw the mask, Dana can smell the pungent spicy chemicals in the smoke, which would blind a normal person. This won't be any easy fight. Dana can't see her target and unlike the Parker branch of the Spider Clan, she doesn't possess the precognitive Spider Sense. Instead the O'Hara branch have Accelerated Vision, enabling them to not only see with perfect clarity, even in complete darkness, but tract objects moving at high speed. They can predict the movements of people and objects, much like many others possessing magic eyes, but they still need to see there targets.

Calabash's staff moves to strike the girl's spine at the base of the skull, only for it to strike a web line. It's one of many that Dana created when Calabash created the smoke screen, linking the lines to her finger tips to act as sensors. There are many spider-men and spider-women in the world, but only a few a them actually think like spiders, apex predators of there tiny worlds.

Dana moves with superhuman reflexes and fires a spread of sticky shots from her web shooters. Most of them miss Calabash, but some do collide. The webbing sticking to his clothing stronger than industrial-grade epoxy. Dana's HUD lights up and locates the spider tracers in the room, including the two that are still moving. The young Spider Woman moves with speed far beyond human and shows the Candy Commander master of ninjutsu, the moves of "The Way of the Spider.".

Calabash is thrown out the smoke cloud, tumbling across the ground, leaving a trail of bright pink life fluid and torn fabric. Two web lines emerge from the smoke and pull Calabash off his feet back towards the smoke, only for Dana to emerge with a flying kick. Calabash loses several teeth in the process. She attempts to pull him back again, only for Calabash to tear apart his own clothing to break the connection.

Calabash tosses his prayer staff away and a malicious dark aura erupts from his body. His red eyes glow, his dark purple darkens as veins bulge, and steam rises from his skin. He raises his clawed finger tips to point at her.

"I didn't want to use this. It damages me every time I do, but let this be proof of your strength!"

A flash bomb Calabash dropped detonates.

Dana can't react fast enough, she dodges the Ninja commander's first attack, but the wind itself is enough to cut her. She is about to counter when the Ninja's body explodes out into long thin spikes, each thinner than a human hair near the tip. The explosion of spikes is not something she can dodge at close range, no matter her reflexes. Vital fluid sprays and drips to the ground from Dana's deep, piercing injuries. She barely avoids having one pierce her head, merely damaging her mask.

Dana collapses to the ground in a pool of her own juice as Calabash collapses. His spikes all retract back into his body, but the body itself continues to releases steam and withers. He barely stands with his emaciated. He pulls out a two chambered drinking gourd from under his clothing, somehow undamaged from the spikes and begins to drink the cool water inside.

Suddenly, a web shoots out and pulls the gourd out his hand into the hands of the risen Dana. He can't believe his eyes as the flesh underneath her damaged costume regenerates. She raises her mask partially and drinks from the Gourd. He also spits out red-tainted water.

"I never do like that taste in mouth."

"How?"

"My father has an Accelerated Healing Factor and so does my maternal grandpa."

Calabash is sprayed with silver-gray webbing that binds his withered, weakened form H's lifted off the ground by the immense strength of the spider woman.

"If I was Hero like Pete and Dad, and this was there Original World, I would capture you and turn you over to what passes for authorities, but I'm not a Hero." says Dana, before throwing towards the electrical lines of the generator, "This is the Changed World and I'm an Adventurer!"

The bio-metallic webbing is very conductive and soon the generators are stained with blackened sugary ooze.

There are loud shock waves as the fists of the Gray King John Walters collide with the Fists of his opponent. Gray King's weapon is embedded in a wall from the opening blow of the fight, so they are relying on there fists.

The candy soldier is a huge, muscular humanoid standing over 300 cm (9'10), towering over the Hulk Clan member. It's body is composed of translucent dark red covered by glossy black armor with red/gold eyes, no nose, and sharp teeth. His only clothing is loose black pants with a red sash around his waist and red ties around her ankles, and black sandals.

"Do you have a name or are you just a beast?" says the Candy commander as he tosses the Grey King with a martial arts move, "I am Commander Magma, the strongest of the Commanders"

Grey King gets close and delivers a blow to Magma, only for his damaged area of his body to reform with ease. Magma doesn't even seem to notice the damage. Grey Hulk does several more punches, each one shattering parts of Magma' body, but reforming less than three seconds later.

"Did they send a Brute to fight a Brute? I may have been quiet when serving that paranoid control freak Bubblegum, but that was to retain my freedom. The General lets me cause as much destruction as I desire and leaves me alone as long as I take care of intruders. Something that I have always enjoyed doing."

Commander Magma delivers a blow that sends the Gray King sliding back into a wall, next to his spiked bat weapon. He pulls out the weapon and releases a wave of flame that would incinerate most candy soldiers. It fails to harm Magma who looks amused.

"I'm not only the strongest, but I'm also immune to heat and flame. " says Commander Magma, as his fists become covered in flame and his body begins to emit heat. "I can control heat and flame.

The Grey King takes a stance, much to Magma's amusement.

"Your blows do nothing to me and your weapon is useless. You have no hope."

Commander Magma moves forward with surprising speed and delivers a thunderous punch, creating a huge fiery explosion that sends a shock wave threw his section of the colony. When the flames clear, Commander Magma's eyes widen as he sees Grey Hulk holding his fist, completely unharmed by the fire blast.

"Cute Trick. Masahiko's radiation is way hotter." says Grey Hulk, his voice very deep and intimidating, " Most people think the savage Hulk is a mindless monster, but they are wrong. He possesses the intellect, just not the same personality and emotions, of Doctor Banner. I am not savage, so I possess all of the superhuman intellect that I inherited from my father. I simply like playing the strong guy, it's more relaxing and easy."

Grey King tosses Commander Magma to the side, then claps his hands. The Hulk can slam his hands together to create a tremendously powerful sonic vibration that propagates through the air and has been compared to the strongest hurricane in history. Grey King's thunderclap is just as powerful and at close range, there is nothing Commander Magma can do. His fire is extinguished and his body is blown into pieces.

"Cute trick. You wanted me to believe I wasn't causing you any damage, when in truth you were shape shifting before my attacks could hit. It would have worked if the owner of a Café back home hadn't mentioned a brother who did the same thing."

Grey King reaches down and pulls something from the regenerating body of Commander Magma. It's a dark red sphere the size of a baseball and the rest of the liquefied body is reaching for it. Grey King's grip increases causing the core to crack and the Commander's body begins to move in a chaotic manner. The King finally shatters and crushes the core, causing the liquefied candy material to collapse to the ground.

Holding Cells

Ciel Diaz is in the depths of the Zucker Fallout Shelter looking for the Prisoners. Thanks to Princess Bubblegum's map and Pink Poison Mist, she is able to get past the defenses. She still hasn't encountered the Commander whose in charge of the prison.

Ciel looks at the various characters imprisoned in the overcrowded cells. They are kept immobile by sticky bands of dark pink rubbery material. There weapons, tools, and magic wands all taken from them and destroyed.

The majority of them a cute animals, ranging from human with a few animal traits to walking animals. Fluffy bunnies, cute cats, and cute breeds of dogs, all that would have been extremely cute as children twenty years ago, but are currently useless in combat.

There are several magical princesses who were borderline useless during the Halloween Event. This is because classic princesses didn't have the independence and power of modern princesses. They were victims of malicious forces to be saved by handsome princes or dashing rogues. If they did have powers, it was healing/protective magic or some quirk like talking to animals.

There are cute-looking pastel-color dinosaurs that do possess superhuman strength, but they are complete pacifists who spend most of there time singing about friendship. The town policy on non-violent child-friendly costumes bit them in the case. Ciel notes that at least, it ended better than Town of Still-Water, where someone dressed as Barney and became a twenty foot purple/green tyrannosaurus rex and ate his friends and several kids.

One little girl dressed as Jem for Halloween and ended up becoming the hologram disguised form of Jerrica Benton. The chaos magic altered her so she could generate holograms, without the need for the artificial intelligence computer Synergy. It's still not an offensive power being able to create intangible illusions.

Princess Bubblegum's strongest are kept separate cells.

One is a young athletic man with long blonde hair and heterochromia (his left eye is green, while the right eye is blue). He's dressed in a white bunny-eared hood, light blue shirt, dark blue pants, and boots.

He is Finn Mertens, also known as Finn the Human, one of the two main heroes of the Land of Ooo. Finn was born on Hub Island (one of the human-inhabited islands outside of The Land of Ooo) to his father Martin Mertens and his mother Doctor Minerva Campbell. Martin's enemies from his time as a con-man came after him and he was forced to flee with his son, which resulted in them becoming seperated. He was raised by a family of talking dogs, along side his adopted brother Jake (who possessed shape shifting powers due to being fathered by an alien). Finn became the Hero of Ooo, stopping various monsters and threats, and solving problems. This included everything from helping a friend regain there confidence to stopping the incarnation of evil known as the Lich.

One is a young beautiful woman with green eyes, gray skin, and long black hair. She is dressed in a dark grey heavy metal shirt, blue jeans, and brown leather cowboy boots.

She is Marceline Abadeer, also known as Marceline the Vampire Queen. Over a thousand years ago, she was born the daughter of a demon lord named Hunson Abadeer and a human woman. After the Mushroom War, an archeologist named Simon Petrikov took care of her, but he suffered from the effects of a mystical crown. Eventually, with Simon lost in his Ice King personality and disgusted by her soul-eating biological father, she became independent. She hunted the vampires that threatened the survivors of humanity, absorbing there souls and powers in the process. Against the Vampire King, she won but became the Vampire Queen.

"Finn and Marceline. I see they are taking you two seriously."

Finn and Marceline are bound to X-shaped structures by bindings around there necks, wrists, upper arms, shoulders, chests, waists, upper legs, and ankles. There bound forms are held in spheres filled with a breathable clean liquid, which also keeps them sedated.

Ciel's hand glows with a rainbow as a floating circle of runes appears

"Detect Trap."

Glowing blue lines appear to cover the cells connected to the bubbles containing the prisoners. There are several runes on the walls where the lines connect. It's clearly some form of magical sensor/alarm system set up to detect a rescue attempt.

"Silence Break"

The glowing blue lines all shatter and vanish, but the runes remain unchanged. The alarms haven't been set off, but the sensor lines have been completely destroyed.

"Analyse"

A blue ripple passes over the spheres as the magic scan analyses the condition of the prisoners and there bindings.

"They are both alive and healthy, minor injuries are healing. Bindings contain a poison that's released if the bindings are cut or melted. Breathing fluid contains a sedative which is keeping them numb and unconscious. Oh.. It contains an explosive chemical that reacts to air, so rescuers can't simply crack open the shells or teleport them out."

Ciel's eyes narrow and glow brightly.

"Purge Bombs"

Two translucent balls shoot from her hands, phasing threw the metal bars, and hitting the fluid-filled spheres. The liquid inside the sphere seems to change, becoming more transparent, before the balls are pulled back into her palms. She combines the balls into a single ball, turns, and throw it at an unseen opponent.

The magic ball now containing all the explosive chemicals burst against the invisible target and detonates into a fiery blast. The blast scares the prisoners in the other cells, but Ciel doesn't even blind an eye as the Candy Commander stands revealed.

The candy soldier is a tall, curvy female humanoid standing over 215 cm (+7') with blue eyes, snow white skin with blue markings and blue lips, and long flowing snow-white hair reaching her knees. She's a very beautiful humanoid, like a fairy tail princess, only with a look of cruel arrogance. She wears a flowing hooded white robe with a blue/white sash

"My name is Ciel Diaz, also known as Sky Butterfly. I will be your opponent for today."

"My name is Commander Wintergreen. I will be your Death."

Wintergreen takes a step forward and the ice spreads across the floor before exploding upward as sharp ice spikes. Ciel jumps into the air to avoid the magically hardened ice, Wintergreen makes ice spikes appear on the walls and ceiling, but Ciel manifests sky-blue butterfly wings. Wintergreen dances on the air and fires blades of ice at Ciel who dances in the air and dodges the blades she can avoid. Those she can't avoid she shatters, then purges her limb of the freezing magic infecting it.

Ciel's butterfly wings glow brightly, then with a flap release a storm of glowing blue bubbles that travel down the corridor and pass threw Wintergreen like spirits. They all suddenly stop and implode, erasing everything within them. Wintergreen suddenly has pieces of her body missing, her body now having more air pockets then a AERO chocolate bar collapses to the air.

Wintergreen sinks into the ice-covered ground. She then appears from ceiling completely uninjured holding a guandao (Chinese pole weapon) composed of dark blue ice. It slices Sky Butterfly in half, only for her to shatter into sky blue particles. Wintergreen finds herself inside a bubble barrier with Ciel on the outside. When Ciel snaps her fingers, the bubble implodes turning Wintergreen to dust.

Wintergreen rises from the ground and as she raises her hands, two Chinese Imperial Dragons composed of ice and snow rise from the ground and charge at Ciel's hovering form. Ciel's eyes narrow at the attacking dragons, as if realizing something.

Ciel claps her hands and an aura of magic explodes from her body. She fully transforms into her full Mewni Butterfly form. Bright sky blue eyes, pale blue skin, and long dark blue hair done in a complex braid. She also has six arms, furry antenna, and glowing sky-blue butterfly wings with white cloud markings. She also has blue rain drop markings on her cheeks. The magic wave she releases is powerful enough to completely shatter the Dragons. She turns to her side and makes a gesture with six hands. A wall is sliced to pieces by geometric magical barrier, which then explodes outward to reveal the real Wintergreen.

"Ketsu!" (Bind)

Wintergreen is trapped inside a cube-shape barrier, desperately trying to break them using her enchanted ice.

"Good bye, Wintergreen. Metsu!" (Destroy!)

Ciel closes her fists and the Kekkai (barrier) collapses destroying everything inside it.

A Hour Later

"Where is he!?" says Princess Bubblegum standing close to her two lovers Marceline and Finn.

The members of Team 2 - Locke, Iris, Dana, Gray King, and Ciel Diaz - have also gathered back together after destroying the Candy Commanders.

"So eager to fight, when you were so eager to flee the last time."

"It's him!" says Finn reading his magic sword and wishing for the thousandth time than Jake was with him. Together the duo can do anything, but they feel weaker when separate.

The General calmly walks out of the shadow of a building. His steps are slow and deliberate, carrying an aura of malice.

The Candy Soldier General is far more menacing then the Commander. He's as tall as the strongest commander at 300 cm (9'10) with a very muscular body and a fierce face. He has solid black eyes, lacking iris or sclera, dark gray skin that looks melted like candy wax, and frost white hair done in short spikes. He also has white translucent spikes emerging from his shoulders, elbows, knees, and knuckles. He's dressed in a black shirt, dark green pants, and black military boots.

"What happened to you!?" says Princess Bubblegum, "You don't look the same!"

"I Am Who I Am. My name is not General Schwarz Gummi, that is merely name of the shell that Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum placed me into as a power source. My True Name is Bannos."

"Bannos!? The Dragon Core?"

"Dragon Core?" asks the speedster Iris

"I used cores of monsters to create my Commanders. The General was made using a Dragon Core I discovered."

A dark magical aura filled with malice develops around Bannos.

"I was the child of Water Dragon Princess, I should have been born beautiful and powerful, destined for glory as part of my Grandfather's Ocean Empire. Instead, the nest was invaded by evil forces and I, still in my egg, was infected by diseased Blood Ooze. I emerged as an abomination, a Blood Dragon."

The group can feel the pain and rage in the General's voice as a bone-chilling cold wind begins to blow. There can almost hear the roar of a dragon.

"I was driven away and hated by all, but I survived and grew strong. I took my revenge, but I was killed a man who possessed the power of a Dragon Slayer, a Hero. In this Changed World, I was reborn again as an abomination and slaughtered those that opposed me, until I was killed for a second time to Powerful Adventurers."

The General vanishes in a blur of movement and Princess Bubblegum is held by her throat. His grip is strong and her gum skin is smoking from contact with his dark grey corrupted skin. Dark energy crackles across the Gum Elemental's body causing her to scream in pain.

"Princess!/Bonnie!"

The General crushes Princess Bubblegum's throat and tosses her aside like trash. If she was human, she would be dead from a crushed larynx and spine, but instead the candy royalty collapses into gum while she recovers. The General catches Finn's sword and shatters it between his finger, before backhanding the hissing Marceline in the face. The force is enough to knock her down. A kick from General sends Finn flying with the very audible sound of shattering bone.

Iris uses her super speed to catch Marceline. Her demon/human hybrid physiology combined with vampire powers she has absorbed, allows her to survive the General's blow.

Ciel catches Finn and infuses as much healing magic as she can to save the human's life. The General's blow was Hulk-level, so powerful it broke bone and damaged organs. He's still in a lot of pain and coughs up the fluid that ended up in his lungs and stomach, while severely injured for those couple seconds.

Grey King leaps to deliver a powerful blow, only for the General to intercept him and impale him threw the chest with one of his own arms. As the General's hand emerges from Grey King's back in horrific spray, Team 2 knows they are in deep trouble. Grey King lands with a grunt of pain as his chest wound closes.

"How does this go? We fight, you manage to barely win, then I transform into a more powerful form. Why don't we skip to the end?"

The form of the General Bannos is covered by a fiery blood red aura. The military clothing designed by Princess Bubblegum burns away to reveal dark grey flesh that bubbles and flows like candle wax. The already massive form expands, the body lengthening as the limbs grow bone spikes and sharp claws. The spine lengthens, covering in grey/black flesh, it expands out of the body to become a tail. The neck lengthens many times and the head elongates into something reptilian with horns and sharp teeth.

When Bannos has finished his transformation he's an immense dragon over 70 meters long (~230 feet) and 75 meter (246 feet) wingspan. It has a grey hide that look like a mixture of bony alligator scales and sharp shark scales, and sharp black spines going from the head down the spine to the tip of the long tail. It has five sharp claws at the end of it's muscular arms, fight sharp talons at the end of each webbed foot, and huge fan-like red wings. It's reptilian head has many spikes, sharp teeth, a large fin, and glowing red eyes.

Crack!

There is a loud thunderous crack as Blood Dragon Bannos whips it's tail and Locke and Dana are split in half! Iris is fast enough to avoid the tail and it's shock wave. Gray King is knocked back with a horrific chest wound, but King's chest heals due to Hulk Family Regeneration. The multiple barriers of Ciel are shattered, but her healing magic repairs the minor damage she sustained.

Finn on the ground cries out at the deaths of his two new friends.

Dragon Bannos lets out a thunderous roar that pushes everyone back, then it deeply inhales. It's dragon's breathe is not a blast of fire, instead it's a stream of vile red liquid at extremely high pressure. At this pressure, a thin jet of water would slice through steel plates, but the breathe blast si far thicker. Buildings collapse as steel and concrete as sliced by the crimson spray. In less than a minute, Zucker's main buildings collapse.

The crimson liquid is toxic and infectious, acting more like an organism than a poison. It infects the ground turning it a mix of grey and red, it withers the remaining plant life, and red veins spread across of surface of stone and metal. The Adventurers and heroes of Ooo are horrified when the liquid touches the immobile candy soldiers.

Princess Bubblegum can only watch as the dark red liquid does horrible things to her candy soldiers. It rapidly infects them, corrupts them into hideous deformed abominations. Bubblegum begins to have flashbacks to the end of the War in which Betty, Maja, and Normal Man summoned GOLB to Ooo. A malevolent entity that embodies chaos, she was forced to watch as many of hero people were mutated into horrors. This time she don't think singing can stop these corrupted beings.

"Everything you created it, everything you worked for, will fall into chaos."

"We don't have time for this, It's almost Christmas." says Grey King as he pulls a huge metal pole from the ground and throws it like a spear at Dragon Bannos. It dodges out of the way, only for a second thrown pole to nail it in the other wing. The evil dragon tumbles out the air and makes a very loud impact as it hits the ground at terminal velocity.

Bannos struggles to it's feet only to see a fully transformed Ciel in front of him, powering up a magical attack. He's about to use his dragon breathe on her, when Iris' boot strikes him in the head at many times the speed of sound creating a rainbow shock wave. Ciel releases her storm of bubbles, each one actually a barrier. As the stop moving, any matter inside them is trapped, and when they implode, the matter is destroyed. Ciel's attack completely shreds the evil dragon's wings.

Bannos attempts to use his lethal tail whip, only for Iris to become a golden streak and intercept the tail. She doesn't stop at the tail, instead travelling a straight kilometer (0.62 miles), cutting straight threw the tail. When Iris stops she is glowing gold with red eyes and spiky golden hair crackling with electricity. She looks like a transformed saiyan warrior, before vanishing a burst of speed and lightning

Finn runs forward with surprising speed, a result of years fighting on the Changed World, and drives his backup sword into a weak spot. The reverse scale is where the scales of a dragon change direction and are not supported by other scales. Most dragon slayers aim for that stop, but while Finn's demon sword pierce the armor and deep into it's body, it fails to hit anything vital.

Bannos's injuries don't slow him down, instead they make him angrier. His damaged wings and tail are already regenerating as corrupted candy soldiers are absorbed into Bannos's body. Finn avoids the counter and Iris pulls him clear of the dragon's attack range. His sword blade is smoking from coming in contact with Bannos's vile body.

Iris flies by the evil dragon several times, striking him at insane speeds, before delivering another Sonic Rainboom Kick to Bannos's head. The dragon's head hits the ground hard enough to create a crater. She jumps off the head into the air and yells at Ciel "Now!".

"Ketsu! (Bind) Metsu! (Destroy)"

A cube shape barrier of spiritual energy forms around Evil Dragon Bannos' head, then it implodes destroying what's trapped inside. The headless dragon collapses, while Iris and Ciel revert back into there normal forms, looking completely exhausted.

Grey King appears in front of the two women, shielding them from another attack from the draconic beast. Ciel and Iris can only stare in horror as gruesome white/red spikes emerge from the scaly skin of Bannos's body. The entire monster is soon covered in spikes with the wings become immense claws. Bannos's head rapidly regenerates, now covered in the same spikes.

"Core-Reliant Regeneration." states the Grey King, as his back heals despite the poisonous red liquid. "It can regenerate from any injuries so long as the core of the body remains intact."

Evil Dragon Bannos, currently insane and running on instinct, roars and attempts to attack the three. It's moving at surprising speed and the fastest members are exhausted.

"Gōshōryūken!" (Great Rising Dragon Fist!)

Dana's fist collides with the chin of the insane dragon, snapping it's head back in a burst purple energy

"Dana!?" yells Finn and Bubblegum. Then they look up to see "Locke!?"

Locke on a glider fires glowing arrows from his enchanted bow, piercing the eyes of the dragon and points on it's body. The bomb arrows cause impressive damage, but the dragon continues to regenerate.

(Flashback)

Locke's body turns a translucent blue before dissolving and an unharmed Locke appears in a blue flash. Locke silently thanks his parents for making him carry Fairy charms. The bit of fairy magic enable some of the adventurers to have extra lives and survive the worst of the Changed World. They don't work for all adventurers, just those of certain heritages.

Dana's resurrection is far more gruesome as she explodes out from her upper body. Normally her healing factor would regrow her lower half given time, but she doesn't have the time to wait, so she triggered a new life. Her mother has the same ability, which is why she looks like a teenager despite being in her being over a hundred twenty years old.

"My grandpa is Deadpool. He doesn't die easily and neither do I."

(Flashback end)

Dana pulls out a sealing scroll and activates it. Long heavily loaded belts appear in the air, they are black and yellow with numerous warning symbols and Deadpool icons. She swings the fifty metres lengths of synthetic leather and explosives over to Iris, who uses her speed to wrap them around Bannos. Dana uses her web lines to pull the pins and as the electronic detonators count down from five, Ciel encases nearly everyone in protective barriers.

The explosives detonate with insane level of destructive force. Some of the bombs must have been pocket nukes because the shockwaves annihilates what remains of the colony, sending up a huge mushroom cloud.

In the heart of the destruction, there is a mass of pulsating red-grey flesh surrounded by black char and shards of fused rock. In the centre of the mass is a polished black sphere that hard several glowing cracks.

Grey King glowing a bright emerald green emerges from the smoke, absorbing all the radioactive material in the air to power up. He swings his spiked iron bat which is glowing red hot with all of his strength and there is another blinding flash and localized earthquake. The black shell surrounded the core has been explosively shattered to reveal Blood Dragon Bannos' true core. It's a pulsating red stone the size of a man's fist and radiating hatred and malice as a fiery red/black aura.

"I can't damage it. It's magical, so Holy magic is needed" says Grey King over the winds.

Locke lands and hands his Green Sword to Finn. It's a weaker copy of the Sword of Evil's Bane known as the Master Sword. It doesn't require insane stamina to wield, only that the user's heart be free of evil. Finn is grateful to the Adventurer and then slashes down with the sword, cutting threw the dark aura and striking the Core. It explosively shatters and a golden light ripples out from the blade and purifies the dark aura.

"Mission Complete?" asks Iris.

"Mission Complete!"

Central City

24th of December 2019

High above the tree tops, high above the protected building, and great walls, streams of light travel across the night sky. The sky normally red and covered in flames since the Halloween Event calms to a dark grey as white snowflakes fall on the world below.

The Christmas Snow is filled with Holy Magic as those innocent touched don't feel the coldness, while the creatures of malice and darkness are chilled to the bone. The monsters that hunger for humans collapse, while those who fight against the darkness feel a warmth grow within them.

High above, the Prime Santa Claus laughs as he rides red sleigh decorated with gold and bells, pulled by majestic flying reindeer. Every step of the hoof onto the air creates glowing sparkles and his sleigh leaves a trail of Christmas snow and lights the color of aurora borealis.

He does not fly alone, Santa Claus has broken into tens of thousands, separating from each other to reach the many houses and those in need. The Santas also have companions in the forms of Elves, other Santas, and other beings containing the Christmas Spirit. Snow Butterfly is laughing next to one Santa Claus, while the Alicorn Harmonia races along side of the Reindeer soaking in the happiness and joy of the world, feeling the goodwill.

The many forms of Santa deliver presents and happiness to the good boys and girls. Many children lost find themselves in loving homes and many evil men find themselves lost forever. There are many adventurers still awaken and fighting to protect there homes, and they give thanks to the Incarnation of Christmas as there enemies weaken

Outside the ruins of a destroyed colony, two small children find themselves being protected by an immense polar bear, while there abuser is dragged away by the goat-like demon Krampus covered in a thorny whip. The big bear becomes the smiling form of Santa Claus who hugs the two. He says something that being said by a thousand other versions.

""My name is Santa Claus and I Will Help You"

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
