AN: Welp, it's been awhile.
Several months have passed, without a single word, any kind of news or just a single hint of me still in the land of the living.
Here's the thing, I owe you all an apology for being such a teasing bitch, on my part. I should've done something to let you all know about the hiatus or the circumstances behind them.
So, to clarify, here's a quick rundown of the shit that went down starting in October.
- Went on Vacation, screwed up my finances while there. Got in a fight there, almost got into legal trouble because of it.
- We had to move out of the apartment; more rent, thus had to find another job.
- New job is more tiring, less time to write.
- Got in a relationship, then got dumped. DEPRESSED.
- Lost my virginity. HOORAY!
- Currently in another relationship...with a coworker...who is also married (NOT RECOMMENDED).
- Had a really bad case of the Flu. First time in five years!
- Became a season ticket holder for The XFL's LA WILDCATS. I love Football, GO RAMS! GO PACKERS!
That's how it is. Now, I have felt really guilty about leaving the story just where it was and not doing anything with it. And I too have felt the disgruntlement of reading a story, only for a looooong hiatus to get in the way, LOOKING AT YOU "BERSERK". So I felt the need to show my thanks in any way, shape or form. Thus, I am gonna give you gorgeous ladies and gentleman, a rough outline on where the story was going and how it was going to end.
I really wish it didn't have to come to this, but life sideswiped with a lot of issues and opportunities, rewards and punishments, illnesses and ego boosts. As a result, the fanfiction took a backseat compared to everything else. I always enjoyed the comments, complaints, and disappointments everyone voiced. I want to let everyone know that you guys are the best, and I am very sorry for treating your support in such a way. So, I need to repay in the only way I can.
With some writing.
ARC 8: Crisis of the Multiverse
Chapter 45: Nessun Dorma -
* Frederica and Mimi would eventually help the Demi-Human army begin winning their battles in the altered timeline. Frederica recognizing Lewes Meyer as a threat, kills her in secret.
* They meet Jolokia's father, whose name is Manowar.
* Together, they eventually use blood portals to launch meteors against the capital. This leads to an outright siege which takes the humans by suprise. In the ensuing battles, Frederica uses a One-Inch Punch style attack on the Young Wilhelm killing him. Mimi tosses Thearesia Van Astrea outside of the capital, resulting her being unable to save most of the Royal Family being killed by her. Manowar kills several high raking warriors, including Carol Remendis.
* As a plead to end the bloodshed, Lugnica's borders are now split in half, resulting in a brand new nation populated by Demi-Humans.
* With their work done, Frederica and Mimi eventually find a dimensional fissure and prepare to leave, but not before Frederica tells their new friends to name their new nation, Nessun Dorma, after a song she heard mentioned by a friend. It means, "NO SLEEP", meaning this would be a nation that would always be moving forward without rest. They accept, and say their goodbyes.
* It is then revealed that Nessun Dorma would see a mass migration of Demi-Humans escaping to their welcoming nation. As a result of some of these differences, it is revealed that Halibel is born here instead, Rem and Ram are no longer born, Emilia is weclomed with open arms and Natuski Subaru appears in Vollachia instead, becoming a literal slave to Priscilla.
* Frederica and Mimi, somehow end up in the same timeline as Wilhelm, Felt, Thearesia, Emilia and Beatrice. Convenience, and discussing the matters that happened to him...they are shocked when they see in the corner of their eye, Subaru running in the streets. Wilhelm concludes they have reached a timeline, before Subaru's eventual final battle with Elsa in the slums. Eerily, Felt and Wilhelm reveal that most of them were all in the capital at the time of Subaru's arrival. Behind Beatrice, someone accidentally bumps into her and apologizes. They are shell shocked, seeing it's Ovidius Loman, who came into the capital to get supplies, and leaves after more apologies. They say nothing to him, but are all internally sickened that fate had pretty much destined them all to fall into place.
* Eventually, they find a fissure that takes them back to their own world, once arriving, they see the chaos taking a hold of the Augria Sand Dunes.
Shaula does her best against Rosenrot, resulting in massive damage in the surrounding area, but it is clear he's far better than her. He even relents that the version in his world is far superior, and not stuck in a delusional fantasy. He eventually gets the upper hand and slices off her arm, and fires eye beams at her, which she fires back in return. Sadly his are too strong and they push her's back, resulting in her eye sockets being blown out, and causing a hole to explode in the back of her head, killing her.
Alternate Rem fights Petra, and shows great strides, but Petra gets the complete upper hand and eventually kicks her neck to a horrible state. Unable to comprehend her own death, Rem screams into the air as she berates everyone for allowing things to become this chaotic. Petra has enough, and creates a steel slab construct, which smashes her head in.
Jolokia pretty much owns Elsa, but is unable to finish her off, when he sees Rosenrot rushing to the Tower. All the Red Lanterns join in, trying to stop him, but he stomps his foot, resulting in gigantic towering vines, trees and more to spring out of the sand. They soon spread, beginning to destroy sections of the country, which results in the deaths of Kong's wife, Russel Fellow and thousands of other civilians all over the world. Rosenrot laughs at the beauty he is unleashing on their world. The massive cracks on the ground create canyons, which result in many dead bodies falling in.
Subaru and Ram find out they are in the timeline, in which Subaru ran away with Rem to Kararagi, coming face to face with this Suabru and Rem.

Chapter 46: Nothing -
* Subaru and Ram have a heart to heart with a bewildered Natsuki Rem and her husband. They express no ill-will towards them, and just explain that the multiverse works in cruel ways. Before finding a fissure to go back home with, Ram wishes her sister the best...but never tells them how their Rem's soul is housed in a necklace. A tearful Rem hugs her sister, and they part ways. However, Rem is unsettled by the fact she could not feel a heartbeat from Ram, which Subaru brushes off as her overjoyed to see Ram again. They soon get back to shopping, hoping for the best.
* Subaru and Ram return to their timeline, only to see the Augria Sand Dunes now a massive canyon, vegetation growing out of control and the Tower suspended on a massive vine. Flying into battle they all try to deal with Rosenrot, but he completely overpowers most of them. Rosenrot forms wings made of leaves and branches, getting into close combat with Wilhelm and Mimi.
* Petra finds the stranded Natsuki Subaru from the reality where he almost died, trying to carry him out of the battle. Elsa uses the commotion to begin a painful retreat. Petra professes how much she means to him, even kissing his forehead...but a sudden beam shoots her through the neck and they both take a tumble. In her last breaths she tries to kiss Subaru on the lips, but misses only getting his chin. She dies in his arms...before a piece of a stalagmite crushes them both. Subaru's lost thoughts are how God truly hates him, and left him nothing in the end.
* Rosenrot raises his arms up and howls in laughter at the absolute chaos he has unleashed, and praises how he will eventually bring his allies to help him spread their Anti-Life to other worlds, like a germ that will cleanse the audacity of the Multiverse.
* Subaru and Wilhelm try to take him, but he bashes them away. Nijino also tries to help but she is knocked out.
* Rosenrot raises his hand into the air, creating a swirling sphere of energy, cyan in color. It's revealed that some of the flowers covering the gigantic vines have been stealing the life force from the civilians all over the nation and the neighboring kingdoms, resulting in the deaths of hundreds. As he is about to launch the sphere, something shoots down from the rain clouds and destroys the energy.
* Reinhard appears before Rosenrot, with his sword drawn. Rosenrot comments on how Reinhard is actually dead in his reality, so he has no idea how to deal with him, but equates this encounter as reality begging him to be the one to end the Sword Saint of this reality. Reinhard mocks his foolishness and yells that he'll fall just like every other despot he's faced.
* Reinhard and Rosenrot charge into battle.

Even as it cracks open his arm, his mana is leaking out and being stolen by the blade. To counter this, vines wrap around his crumbling arm, keeping it from falling apart. Rosenrot struggles with it, screaming in agony, but eventually swings it, sending Reinhard flying through several hills and pushes all the Red Lanterns back. He tosses the blade away as energy is leaking out his broken arm, but eventually get his own weapon back.

* Minutes later, Genau having hidden himself in a cave with the infants, is trying to hunt and forage for food...completely unaware of what actual food babies need. Unable to stop their crying, Genau tries to take them away to somewhere he can find humans, but is then set upon by the Oni, who tracked him down by his smell.
* Genau does his best to defend himself and the babies, going as far as to let out a roar that draws in nearby Wolgarm. Using the chaos of the ensuing fights, Genau uses constructs to strap the babies to himself and flies off, finally finding a dimensional fissure and escaping to another timeline. In the timeline he leaves behind, Roswaal never gets Rem and Ram as maids, which later results in Subaru never accomplishing in saving Emilia from Petelgeuse, so he runs away to the Sanctuary and lives the rest of his life in solitude with Garfiel and his people.
* After traveling through the tunnel of timelines, he eventually arrives in the timeline where Emilia was a little girl. Though he scares her, he ends up still befriending the small child, warning the younger version that she will soon have to make a decision between life and death. He eventually finds the dimensional fissure and leaves...changing the timeline; where instead, Emilia ran away from home, and ended up surviving by staying with the Astrea Household.
* Genau continues his journey, eventually winding up in a timeline where the entire was destroyed by a unknown cataclysm, finding Reinhard and Regulus who were the only survivors.

Chapter 49: Genau: Tide of Energy -
* Genau and the babies explore their strange surroundings. However, when Genau starts speaking to nearby civilians, he frightens them away, eventually getting the police involved. A small scuffle ensues, and Genau flees after blowing off a cop's fingers off.
* Genau eventually finds himself on a roof, where baby Rem is crying and Ram is upset, both hungry. Still unsure of what to feed them, he flies off, leaving them bundled up in a blanket he steals. He hurries off, and ends up in supermarket. Unknowingly he ends up bumping into a startled young man, who, thinking that Genau is some kind of hidden camera show prank, gives him advice on feeding babies. Genau thanks the young man, who reveals his name is Seishuu Handa (Barakamon), and Genau steals several jars of baby formula, water and baby bottles using his rings powers...completely shocking Sei to the point of fainting.
* Genau ends up back on the roof, but has a hard time trying to remember how make the baby formula. He takes the babies and everything with him, trying to keep a low profile, before ending up at the front of a conspicuous flower shop.
* Sneaking inside, he sees a middle aged woman and a young lady talking. They mention a friend of theirs is in complete turmoil over her missing son; eventually revealing their names. Mary, who is the owner of the shop, and Sylvia, who was an old acquaintance of the missing boy (characters from the fanfiction Gotta Go Back by soldado350). Just then, Genau is spotted, Mary panics and grab a broom and try to chase him away. He then talks, allowing Mary to faint from shock. Sylvia is horrified, but notices the babies he has bundled up, allowing a moment for Genau to explain his circumstances, but never mentions his "leader's" name.
* Sylvia eventually helps to finally feed the babies and even show Genau how to change their diapers. Mary finally wakes up, but is still terrified of Genau, until he finally shows he means no harm to them. After putting the babies to sleep in baby crib constructs, Genau relays to them that he cannot sense a dimensional fissure, and is worried how much time might pass before he can find one. Mary asks if he intends to take the babies with him, to which he wonders if it's a better idea to leave the Oni twins in this much safer world.
* Just then the door opens, signaling a customer has come. Sylvia and Mary shoo Genau into the back, trying to hide his presence. The two of them try to deal with said customer.
* Genau listens in on this conversation, and clearly notes the weakness in this female customers voice. He pitites her...but sticks his head out and sees her face.
* He immeadiatley walks out and startles her.
* Genau then asks...if her name is Natsuki Naoko.
* Naoko then nervously admits to this...to which Genau reveals he knows her son, Natsuki Subaru.
* Everyone in the flower shop let out gasps, as Genau sits down and wags his tail, promising to tell her everything she wants to know.

Chapter 49: Genau and The Natsuki Family
* Over take-out pizza and beer, Genau relays all the events up until now that they all have been up to with Subaru, leaving some details out. Naoko takes it well...getting up and throwing up in the bathroom. Once finished getting a hold of herself, she asks Genau if he knows if Subaru is currently alright. He shakes his head, noting that he's been split up from everyone and has no idea what is happening in his reality.
* Naoko asks Genau if he'd be willing to stay with her and her husband in the meantime.
* Mary and Sylvia are against this, as their phones have placed notifications about his violent incident with the police. Naoko goes against their warnings, noting how Genau is a friend of her sons, and has earned her respect in protecting Subaru from danger.
* Later, during the cover of night, Genau takes the babies to Naoko's house. There, he meets Keichi, who has been brought up to speed by his wife. He dismays at this, wishing Naoko's story was some mental break, a disillusion from the many months of Subaru going missing, but seeing Genau is proof of it. Keichi sits with Genau and asks him if Subaru has ever talked about them. He only tells them that during the first few months he knew Subaru, he would cry their names in his sleep. But eventually, he stopped that. Keichi fears that it means Subaru no longer thinks about them, Genau cannot bring himself to correct, nor deny his claims. After a ludicrously large dinner, mainly for Genau's benefit, they all watch TV. It's there where Genau learns of a group called ISIS and their villainous exploits in the Middle East. That night, Genau heads to bed. The babies are in a baby crib that Keichi was saving to give to Subaru for the day he got a family, Genau decides to sleep next to it. He is unsure why, but he really doens't want to leave the babies alone.
* In the morning, Keichi and Naoko awaken, having a conversation in bed about the whole idea about Subaru being a "Red Lantern" and all the vicious battle they've been in. Naoko laments the cruelty of finally knowing what happened to their son who has been missing for one year, but also that time differentiates over there, to the point where years have passed instead, hurts her. Keichi kisses her, reassuring that once Genau leaves, they'll take the moment as Subaru moving on from his parents, reminding her about the various people he has a duty to protect.
* However, when they search around, they find that Genau has left. Becoming worried they call Mary and Sylvia, but have heard nothing. Genau suddenly returns, smelling awful and covered in smut. He is scolded for going out in public and is forced to take a bath, much to his dismay.
* Sylvia and Mary visit later that night, wishing to discuss more about Subaru. Sylvia correctly guesses that Genau has left out information about the ordeals Subaru has undergone.
* Genau sighs at this, unabashedly creating a hologram image of what Subaru currently looks like. Naoko is completely overwhelmed at all the scars Subaru has attributed. Sylvia further demands to let him know what other secret he is hiding, making Genau admit he has hidden one last thing about Subaru. He then coldly informs them about his unborn son Agito, who was killed by Crusch. Naoko shambles away and falls onto her bed, crying. Keichi asks the visitors to come back another time, as he goes to comfort his heartbroken wife.
* Guilt-ridden, Genau simply goes to help comfort the babies, resulting in him wondering, that if Agito didn't die, would he be doing the very same with him?
* In the morning, the family once again awakens and takes of the babies, realizing Genau is gone.
* Genau returns, but this time, when Naoko pulls on his ear to take him to bathe...a human finger falls out of his mouth.
* Keichi screams for Naoko to come into the living room. Once she does, she sees a news report that over 10,000 members of ISIS have been found slaughtered, with their leader's head having been dropped off in front of a mosque in Iraq. The reporter claims that a strange red light was seen; footage even shows the red streaks of light flying around the recorded battle.
* Keichi and Naoko slowly turn around, to see Genau smiling at them, proclaiming that justice had been served.
* Meanwhile, a van is parked outside the house, with men watching...using walkie talkies to inform someone they found it. They are told to keep an eye on it, until they get clearance from the higher ups to act.

Chapter 50: Genau vs. Japan
* A flashback shows the immense nighttime battle Genau experienced battling ISIS, and eventually shows how Genau brutally murdered their head leader. He then opened a secret bunker, finding the various Yazidi women who were kidnapped by them. He frees them from their shackles and tells them to never be caught again. He flies off, with the women later being rescued by Iraqi forces.
* Genau is in the living room with everyone there to discuss his journey. Genau reveals he still hasn't found a dimensional fissure, and that as long as he's here, he'll do his job as a Red Lantern and use his rage to punish evildoers. Keichi warns of the danger in meddling with such complicated matters, but Genau scoffs at this, insinuating that he has never cared for politics.
* Mary then goes to see the babies, musing to herself that she'd always wanted a daughter, as she's never had a chance to get married. Genau overhears this, and asks if she'd be willing to adopt the babies once he leaves, thinking it'd be too dangerous to take them with him any longer. She in turn asks if he'd miss them...after pondering, he says no. Once he leaves, Mary shakes her head and sadly calls him a liar.
* The next five days result in Genau going all over the world, attacking notable criminal organizations and terrorist cells. MS13, Boko Haram, Sinaloa Cartel, Al-Shabaab, The Five Families Mafia, and more are slaughtered.
* A UN conference is issued,with many countries being ungrateful to Genau, instead demanding the beast be captured to cease all the killings. It is then revealed that China and the U.S. have actually discovered that Genau has been coming in and out of Japan. Japan's representative clarifies that they've pinpointed the exact location where Genau has been coming in and out of, and they're preparing to react.
* Genau is laying down watching TV with the family, Rem and Ram cuddled in Naoko's arms. Keichi is snacking on some chips and tosses a few to Genau who eats them eagerly. Keichi and Naoko are watching the reports about Genau's attacks...but also statements from civilians and victims who praise the mysterious beast with helping to rid the world of horrible people. The report even states that rumors are circulating that criminal organizations are slowly curbing their plans and operations as a response to Genau.
* Then, they see an ongoing hostage situation going on in a city nearby. Genau lets them know he's going to see if he can help. They are against this, as it's daytime and he may be seen. Just then, Genau creates a hologram around his body making himself look like a normal dog, promising never to lead people to their home. He licks the babies bye and rushes out of a back window, hurrying off before dissipating the hologram and flying off.
* Just then, Naoko swears she can hear a strange noise outside the door.
In the parliament of Japan, a fine looking Japanese woman named Kana Mizuki, who is revealed to be closely connected with the ministry of defense are discussing a secret of some sort. She issues warnings that Genau (who is referred by the name of Inugami, as they don't know his actual name) could potentially harm them if the mission to capture them fails. She is reassured that her ploy to garner support to become Japan's Prime Minister will work, as she'll get credit in capturing the Inugami. It's also revealed that Mizuki is horrified by the Inugami; revealing she was there when Genau attacked the police officer, and has been haunted by it since. She promises that Genau will be dissected and the secrets of his abilities will earn Japan immense global political leeway.
* Genau arrives in the supposed house, which is surrounded by cops and SWAT. Genau enters through the window, seeing three men holding a woman hostage, Genau demands they release her...only for all three of them to pull guns on him. The police then storm the room, and raise their guns at him. They demand he come quietly.
* Genau realizes this is a trap. But then laughs maniacally, his eyes glimmering red, and drool leaking out of his fangs. He then humors them, saying that they're all dead.
* The police outside await conformation...until they hear gunshots and sounds of struggle and screams coming from inside the house. Genau leaps out of the window and has axe constructs rain down and chop to bits the stunned cops. The SWAT opens fire on him, but his ring is protecting him well and he simply begins killing more COPS...but the damage is done. The reporters unaware of the circumstances, have been recording the whole thing and assume Genau is simply killing wildly.
* Naoko opens the door to see Mary, who informs them that the TV broadcast they originally saw was not being broadcast anywhere outside of the neighborhood. Sylvia had called her while in college and informed her of the strange predicament. Suddenly, the police storm the residence and begin arresting everyone. However when they try to take the babies, Rem cries and Ram proceeds to release Wind Magic killing several cops. One cop panics and fires, ending up shooting Keichi in the shoulder, in turn, the cops take them into custody and drag them out of the house. The police surround the babies, overwhelming Ram, until she cannot use anymore wind magic.
* Genau is continuing his fight with the police trying his best to get away. Eventually the JSDF arrives, but are also overwhelmed by his Red Rings powers. Genau finally gets away, but is soon battling several attack helicopters, which he is forced to destroy. Genau gets high up into the air, but soon is being chased by fighter jets.
* Sylvia arrives in the Natsuki Household but sees it's surrounded by cops. They notice her, but she is able to sneak away.
* Genau is high up in the air engaged in dogfighting with the jets, but eventually destroys most of them. But soon more jets arrive, along with several unmanned drones and a gunship. Genau does his best to begin destroying them all, but is surprised by a rocket strike and falls to the ground below. He lands safely in an embankment and hurries to his feet...there he sees three women coming back from school. He then asks if they have any food, and one of them tosses him a meat bun in fright. He eats it, but realizes that the gunship has begun firing on his position, so he creates a sphere construct around them, saving them. He then asks their names...revealing that they're Sawako Kuronuma, Ayane Yano, and Chizuru Yoshida (Kimi ni Todoke). He then tells them to hold on, surrounding them in energy and dashing forward, tossing them into a shop and flying off, saving them from certain death. Genau flies into the gunship and begins killing everyone inside. The gunship then crashes as all three ladies watch it implode inside a building, then watch as Genau hovers in the air, staring down at them. Sawako sheepishly waves him goodbye...and he flies off. Genau begins flying back home but is set upon by sudden strikes from below and slams through a roof. He shakes himself awake and notices tanks are trying to take him out.
* Genau leaps out and uses his napalm blood, to melt the tanks, burning the men inside alive.
* Genau flies back up into the air and begins engaging in another battle with fighter jets, including experimental ones provided by the Americans. Eventually Genau tackles one straight down into a city that has not even been considered for evacuation. The pilot escapes the burning jet as it slams into the side of building. The pilot gets out of his escape shute, and notices three stunned students staring at him. He yells at them to escape, but Genau leaps onto his back and uses his fangs to literally tear his head from his neck. Genau leers, growling at the terrified students. The larger student gets in front of the other two to protect them. Genau calms down, but soon senses more jets and helicopters coming to get him, so he uses his innate instinct to turn into his massive Juggernaut form, towering over the students.
* He leaps into the air and uses his naplam blood to shoot out of his mouth and devastate the ensuing attack. Unintentionally he sets several blocks of the city on fire, and causes a freeway ramp to completely collapse. Genau lands back down...with the large man being completely horrified by the grotesque smile on Genau's face.
* Genau shrinks back down to normal and tells the kids to go home. Genau once again flies off, leaving Takeo Goda ( Ore Monogatari!) and his friends to just fall on their behinds in pure terror.
* Finally arriving back at the house, he sees it has been ransacked and realizes everyone is gone. He goes to the flower shop, and finds a grief stricken Sylvia, he demands to know where the Natsuki family is; she informs them that they've been taken by the police. Sylvia hugs Genau...but Genau is nothing but angry at this point.
* Leaving Sylvia, telling her to go home and stay away from the police, Genau proceeds to fly into the air and begin sniffing the air.
* Mizuki is in a secret facility, watching an interrogation of Naoko by agents trying to pry information about Genau. However, they do not believe her story of Genau coming from another timeline. They then hit her, calling her story ridiculous about Elves and magic. Naoko then pleads to know where the babies are, but they refuse to inform her.
* Meanwhile the baby Oni are housed in special sensory deprivation containment units, to make sure they are too disorientated to use their Oni powers. Keichi and Mary are both injured, but guarded by special forces and police.
* Just then, Genau breaks through a wall, declaring he has arrived for revenge.
* Mizuki gets on a video conference with the U.S. President Barack Obama, promising to share the secrets of the Red Ring, having pryed that much information from Naoko, accepting her story about Genau being an alien of some kind. With this, the U.S. and Japan would have renewable energy, a new weapon system, and a lead for the reaches of outer space.
* Alarm systems blare as Genau makes his way through the facility, killing and attacking everything and everyone in sight. Genau eventually rescue Keichi, Mary and the babies. Mizuki goes with her guards to try and get away, but soon run into Genau.
* After her guards are killed, Genau comes face to face with her. She pisses on herself and falls to her behind, clearly in fear for her life. Genau scoffs at her, and leaves to find Naoko.
* Alone, Mizuki makes a phone call, demanding to have further support in either capturing...or executing Genau.
* Genau finds Naoko, bruised but alive. He uses a blood portal to get them back to their residence, having narrowly escaped backup arriving. Genau pants and watches as everyone is mentally exhausted from the ordeal.
* Genau has Mary turn on the TV, as the false reports of Genau attacking Japan air all across their faces. Soon it is reported that the U.S., France and many other nations are aiming to support them in any way they can.
* At this point, Genau promises to make them all pay, and if it's war they want, he'll play ball.

Chapter 51: Genau vs. The World
* Four days later, the French Government informs their leader that Genau had suddenly appeared and broke into several maximum security prisons, killing all the inmates inside.
* Soon, Korea, South Africa, Honduras, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, Australia, Philippines, Russia, U.K., and even the U.S. report the very same findings.
* A surprise UN confrence is held, with Mizuki being invited along.
* The Natsuki Family are fine, but under constant surveillance by the Japanese Government and hardly leave the house now.
* At the UN convention, Mizuki gives an account of what had happened, but leaves all the info about kidnapping the Natsuki Family, pleading with the world leaders to help the beasts reign of terror.
* Then, they get information that Genau is on his way, spotted flying over the Pacific Ocean. Several nations mobilize their navys to combat him.
* Genau then battles several battlehships, jets, submarines and more in the middle of the ocean. Before flying up into outer space, and then back down, with a meteor in tow. Crashing it into the ocean and creating a tidal wave that overwhelms them and devastates several small islands.
* Genau continues his path towards the UN building.
* It is decided to redirect his path, and try to use "that" on him.
* Genau is dealing with the sudden appearance of several unmanned drones and specialty American pilotless airplanes...when a missile flies right towards him. HE INSTANTLY LAUGHS, claiming he has watched movies at the house about what they're trying to do. He quickly opens a Blood Portal and the missile flies through it.
* Everyone in the UN council receives the news that their nuke disappeared in the middle of the fight. Mizuki loudly and nervously asks where it went.
* Immediately...they find out it exploded in El Salvador, destroying it's capital instantly.
* Genau suddenly appears inside the council room, hovering in the air. He explains he picked El Salvador as he saw the nation had little chance of ridding itself of the criminal scum permeating within it's cracks, referring to it as a failed state. Genau peeks over and has his ring fire blasts at the representatives of El Salvador, Somalia, Venezuela, and Brazil. He declares that the others he shot, represented the other nations he had in mind to send the nuke instead. He then gives a long speech at how disgusted he is in this world, the shadiness of it, the lack of natural appreciation and unwillingness to destroy the evils that exist in it. He warns everyone there that he cannot stay here forever, and will leave at some point, but goes to the matter that it will be their choices that will help change, or destroy everything their world has to offer. He then gives a stern warning that the Natsuki Family are to never be bothered again, or he'd find all of them and kill them, their families, their attendants, their families and anyone who sold them food in their lifetimes...as retaliation.
* Right after, he gives a warning that if Mizuki wasn't killed in the next week, he'd kill millions in Japan. He then leaves, leaving them in complete terror.
* Genau arrives at the house, cuddles up with the babies and falls fast asleep.
* Days later, Naoko and Keichi discuss the events, and both can only imagine what Subaru has had to deal with as his life has turned out like this. They then see on the TV, Mizuki has returned to Japan and declares that as a nation, they must strive together in order to fight off Genau. But a gunshot rings out and Mizuki falls to the ground, the guards then surround and arrest an actual cop...the very same one who got his fingers being bitten off by Genau. He mutters and cries that he did it so he could protect his family. Revealing that Genau's visit to the UN was recorded in secret and leaked to the public.
* Genau suddenly rushes into the room and informs them that, a dimensional fissure has finally opened.

Chapter 52: Genau and The Prodigal Son
* Genau has everyone meet at a local shrine, which is exactly where the dimensional fissure is. Naoko, Mary, Sylvia and Keichi begin saying their goodbyes, even asking if he thinks it's alright to be taking the babies with him, but he is firm in his decision. Claiming, that this world is bereft of anything like a Red Lantern, thus making it much too dangerous for them in the end. Naoko kisses the babies bye, Keichi pats Genau on the head, and Mary and Sylvia pet him. Naoko and Keichi ask Genau to promise to continue supporting, and protecting their son no matter what. Genau smiles...and he finally enters the dimensional fissure.
* Naoko and Keichi muse how they earlier refused to come with him, declaring that they'd stay and start their life again now that they knew where Subaru was. Sylvia sighs as she wonders what'll happen after all the devastation the past few weeks have been. Mary reassures them, that hopefully nothing bad will happen.
* Genau journeys through timeline tunnel, eventually ending up at the point where Subaru was being kicked out of the Royal Castle during the start of the Royal Selection. Once he appears, everyone in the castle begins to panic, but before Genau can explain himself, a fight ensues. Genau gets the upperhand on several opponents, including accidentally killing Julius. He screams that he didn't mean to do that, but results in him getting into a fight with Reinhard. Knowing he might not be able to even survive he makes it to a dimensional fissure just close by. But Reinhard swings a projectile sword strike causing massive damage, and resulting in their Natsuki Subaru to be flung to Genau, knocking them both into it.
* Subaru and Genau are flung into the tunnel of timelines...but Genau is unable to save that Subaru as they are both sucked into different timelines.
* Subaru rolls onto the ground, and shakes himself up. Only to look up and see the bewildered faces of his parents, along with Mary and Sylvia. Naoko is overjoyed to see her son, but he in turn screams in horror. Turning around, he realizes too late that the dimensional fissure has closed. His mind flashes the images of Emilia, Beatrice, Rem and all the others...he has now abandoned. Subaru screams in horror, and he runs off, eventually getting hit by a car and dying. Time then begins reversing before his very eyes, right to the moment when he landed back here, hearing the very same responses from his arrival. This time, with him being frozen in despair, his mother hugs him tightly, and he begins to cry in utter pain. He has returned home, and he cannot find a way back.
* The world keeps it's promise and never tries to harm the Natsuki Family. Instead, a new religion is formed based on Genau, believing he was sent by God to punish the world for it's sins, and this family is praised as apostles fo the Lord, showered with gifts and protected. An instance when an Islamic man tried to stab them...ended with Naoko with a simple cut and the assailant being basically torn apart by a crowd. Mary's store closed down, as she ended up meeting a nice wealthy man and moved to Poland. Sylvia has tried to pursue a relatioinship with the returning Subaru...but everyone can see this Subaru is uneasy, as he sometimes goes blank and mutters to himself.
*In his room, he writes in his mangas over and over again the names of people he knew in his Lugnica, never wanting to forget them. He also meets with a tattoo artist, hoping to one day get several of the names on his body as well...he continues to lament his situation. He promises to find a way back...NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS HIM. He begins drawing the alphabet he learned from Lugnica in a notebook, then he looks in his dark room...looking to his left, then his right. Then back forward, smiling eerily.
* Genau and the babies finally arrive, back in his original timeline, only to see the devastation that has erupted since his departure.
* He quickly hurries and sees Rosenrot kicking Subaru through a wall in the Tower. Genau roars as he fires multiple constructs at him, even creating constructs of the various military vehicles and aircrafts to attack him. Rosenrot blocks most of these hits, but does fall onto the ground, replying he recognizes the Wolgarm as the same one Meili owns in his timeline.
* Rosenrot is then assaulted by Nijino and Frederica, forcing him to contend with the both of them. Genau hurries as he leaves the babies with Linnea Helena, telling her to take them to safety. Jolokia also joins in, before working with Wilhelm and trying to damage his already injured arm. However, he shoves them back and yells, "ALL TIERRA"! Time stops, and Rosenrot makes him way past everyone, noting that the spell makes it actually impossible to interact with objects. However, the battle has sapped his mana and the spell runs out, just as he makes it back to the top of the Tower.
* Genau, seeing his chance, flies up into outer space and collects solar energy. He then fires his Revenga Art: Hellion Electric Eye, firing the massive beam down on Rosenrot.
* But, by the end of it, Rosenrot emerges from the debris, cracked and smoldering, but alive. He complains that this timeline is much weaker than the one he is from, claiming that he would've been sent retreating had he fought his Batman or Beatrice. He laughs as he runs up the Tower, knocking away any opposition before reaching for the energy source of the Tower, but Subaru catches up and both their hands reach out for it.
* A bright light shines in the Tower, as Genau hurries to save Subaru.

Chapter 53: Catastrophe
* Subaru and Rosenrot both touch the star, resulting in both visions and auditory feedback for the both of them.
* Rosenrot sees images of Natsuki Subaru and Emilia going to the capital market plaza, Rem killing someone, Ram standing in the rain distressed, Rosenrot killing himself, Puck fighting Reinhard, large spaceships hovering over Vollachia, a volcano erupting in Lugnica...obviously images of other timelines that exist in their universe.
* Subaru hears voices from throughout his life...but also begins hearing things that sound familiar, or ones he has never heard before in his life.
- "Kazuma, do something! Hey Kazuma?! Kazuma-san?!"
- "It's alive! It's alive! In the name of God, now I know what it feels like to be God!"
- "Does anyone have any orange slices?"
- "It has, truly, been a roundabout path…"
- "Annihilus is the will and the way and he WILL NOT BE DENIED!"
- "Oh, don't be such a crybaby. The fucking world ended. Everyone's mother is dead, you pussy."
- "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
- "Rule 96, AIM!"
- "NO GOOD HE MISSED IT! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! THE SEASON CAN'T END LIKE THAT! HE MISSED IT LEFT! And the Seattle Seahawks are off to Charlotte."
- "That was a preemptive SHH!"
- "Kuwabara No!"
- "Jason, my special, special, boy."
* Both of them are flung back by the feedback they experienced, but not before Rosenrot haymakers Subaru in the face, knocking him out. He raises his weapon ready to decapitate him, but Genau has a jet construct tackle him through a wall, and into large vines. Genau proceeds to continue fighting him, until Mimi tries her own best, but is slashed away almost instantly. Genau tries his best to stall him...as Reinhard arrives, with his swrod in hand and stabs into his injured arm. Just then, Wilhelm and Thearesia also push his back, to help drive the sword in deeper.
* Rosenrot uses a cosmic beam to blast them away, but his arm falls apart as a result. Still, he lands one handed strikes on all of them. Genau continues his combat with him, before Frederica leaps to the fray. Genau once again flies up into space, to try another Hellion Electric Eye, as Frederica battles the one handed Rosenrot. Frederica uses her one inch punch attack...which succeeds in devastatingly injuring Rosenrot, but he retaliates with an eyebeam which tears through her shoulder, headbutting, and punching her until her face is completely purple and puffy. Yet, when Frederica sees something, she kicks him in the face and leaps back.
* Rosenrot turns around and sees Genau with another fully charged Hellion Electric Eye and quickly fires it into his face, the blast being easily seen in outer space as a straight line of light.
* Once it's settled, Rosenrot...pets Genau. His head is pretty much falling apart, and he eloquently praises the Wolgarm, but warns, that as far as he's concerned this world hasn't suffered enough. In the end, he states one more catastrophe is needed for this world to be complete. "And it will make this world, one with the true purpose of life...the extinguishing of it. I DO...DECLARE..."
* Genau ignores this, as Frederica leaps around Genau and lands a massive punch...destroying his head, killing him. Rosenrot's body crumbles into spheres of green light as they fade up into the air...becoming the signal of the finale to this battle.

Chapter 54: A World Truly Changed
* Two weeks later...Subaru is looking over the final reconstructions of the Tower, when Emilia walks upstairs. They discuss how much has happened over the past few weeks.
- Subaru recalls how Genau said he met his parents and the comforting words they had for them.
- Nijino was completely heart broken by the death of the Subaru she brought along with him.
- Emilia got slapped by Petra's mother at the little girl's funeral, calling a dirty half-elf who only brings misfortune wherever she goes. They are able to calm things before anything escalates.
- Frederica is in full mourning from her master's death, practicing her martial arts, despite the injuries and tears dripping down her face.
- Elsa is locked away in a specially constructed prison...which is across the hall from Memory Eater Subaru's, who is constantly scraping his fingers on the wall, leaving blood marks. His hallucinations offering him comfort…
- Pandora is murdered in a Blood Sacrifice Ritual...but leaves her parting words that, no matter how many lives Subaru takes, he can never prevent the cruelty of this world from taking that which he loves. Subaru immediately slits her throat, kicking her into a pool of blood and is able to see a vision of the future.
- Wilhelm has a conversation with Thearesia, who in turn berates him for the state of the world, pointing out the giant vines that are now covering the world, the deaths of 2,000 people from the actual battle, or how he stole her from another timeline. Reminding him, that Subaru has forbidden ANYONE from trying to access the Tunnel of Timelines ever again, meaning she along with Elsa, Baby Rem and Ram, as well as Memory Eater are stuck there. She leaves in anger, telling Wilhelm not to contact her, but he is accepting of this, grateful he was able to save her.
- Reinhard is visited by Genau, they have a gander at the palm trees and grass that grown in the desert, remarking this could lead to unforeseen ecological devastation on the world, but Genau dismisses this, as he has been to multiple timelines and has seen a 'round world', pushing his worries aside.
- Baby Rem and Ram, are looked after by Ram who is completely wrecked by the idea of seeing their younger selves, though Rem is excited of providing these two of an upbringing without the baggage they had in the past.
- Mimi sits on wall, watching as the citizens are trying to yet again adjust to another change to their country, some magic users and constructors are attempting to use the vines as means to create things Subaru and Genau refred to as highways and freeways. She once again begins speaking to the voices in her head, all of them impressed with how adaptable everyone is being.
* Subaru lets Emilia leave to speak with Puck, just as Genau arrives to speak with him. He relays some messages the people from his world wanted to let him know, leaving Subaru grateful to Genau...though Genau never tells him about the mishaps that occurred over there, not wishing to upset or worry him. Genau leaves, giving a moment to finally start crying over Petra's death, the words his parents gave him and...the vision of the future he saw. Which simply saw Puck turning into his gigantic main form, and Crusch laughing as destruction occurs all around her.
* Instead, Subaru wipes away his tears, promising to finish what he started. That the Red Lanterns would claim control of over this timeline, no matte what.
* Somewhere, in the sands of some unknown land, Crusch coughs as she gets up. Capella also gets up, voicing her dissatisfaction with everything that has happened, beginning to insult Crusch for her failures and her overall leadership skills. Before she could angrily respond, a light shines above them, a green one. There, Tomar Tu, an actual Green Lantern hovers above them. He ponders at how humans are on a planet so far away from Earth, but shakes his head and ask these ladies if they need help.
* Capella looks behind him and sees there are three moons, proving that they are indeed not in Lugnica.
* Crusch stumbles, muttering her words as she continues to stare at him...until finally, she smiles. A cold, black smile, and puts out fake tears...asking for her world to be saved.
FINAL ARC: Futurism
BEGINS!
And that's all I got for how the recent Arc I began all that time ago, would have continued as. I'll upload the overview of how the Final Arc would've gone down. It'll take some time, but bear with me. I just have to give some finality to it all…
Thanks again, see you again soon.
