Decisions

I own nothing but my own characters.

Dimension 54A-2113DB (SVTFOE)

4 hours after introduction

Location: Diazs' household.

"That beast is wrong, Star you don't need his help to be a warrior." A slightly angry King Butterfly said trying to comfort his daughter, who hasn't spoken since they returned.

"I'm not so sure River, you saw what he could do. He might be able to help Star become better." Moon Butterfly told her husband, her tone filled with worry since she didn't want her husband to get into a tantrum. Which started to happen, his face started to grow red, started to sputter like a motor boat until he bellowed out.

"Moon, how could you say that! How could we leave her with that creature?! What could he teach Star that she doesn't already know?!" Moons demeanor changed from worry to defiance and anger

"River, listen he showed no ill intent with his powers and they actually seemed to quite nice." Moon told her husband in a serious tone and her facial features showing she won't back down. Meanwhile Rivers' face turned redder than a boiled lobster and then yelled.

"NO ILL INTENT! Moon did you forget how that beast and flung me across the room or did he use magic to make you forget." Moon just rolled her eyes at her husbands' paranoia and then told River in a calming tone one would use on a wild animal.

"River he didn't throw you. He flung you and he had good reason to do so, you tried to attack him" A person could see reason and common sense trying to regain control in Rivers' mind but they quickly lost to pride and anger as he asked.

"What kind of teacher would insult their own student?" The arguing lasted for 10 minutes which deviated from Star attending and on to unrelated things. When the argument started to get more heated Star decided to try put a stop to it. Star called out.

"Mom, Dad listen." But her call was never heard due to her parents arguing, so she tried again but a bit louder.

"Mom, Dad!" Like the last time her call was either unanswered or couldn't be heard. Now getting slightly angry she stood up and yelled.

"Enough!" After Star yelled something strange happened, she floated a good foot off the ground, her eyes glowed a mix of gold, blue, and greed anything fragile broke. When she started to float down she looked worried, same with her parents, but then she looked to her parents with resolve and determination then told them.

"I want to attend." Moon was excited if a bit nervous about Stars' decision, River on the other hand was a complete wreck and he stuttered trying to find a way to keep her from going then a candle was lit.

"What if Marco decides not to attend?" River almost let a small smile out when he saw Stars' resolve falter but then a miracle happened. Marco walked down the stairs and told River in a slightly angry tone.

"Actually, my parents just signed." Seeing that he was defeated he told Moon and Star.

"Very well, I'll sign it." Star ran over and hugged Marco while Moon, not as excited and not hugging Marco, walked over to the couple and started to talk to Star what she should bring and what she should do while they were talking River took out his cell mirror and called someone.

"Mina, gather your men I have a mission for you."

Dimension 36A-8376H (PZPTH)

2 days after the introduction

Penn, Sashi, and Boone came trough their portal after finishing another mission. Though that would normally bring a smile to Penns' face but he wore a slight scowl due Droolers' "insult".

"Can you believe that overgrown lizard— "Drooler started to grow annoyed as he heard that. "thinks that he can teach us to be heroes. I mean we've been heroes for over a year what could he teach us. Right guys, guys?" Penn looked to his friends but they wore uneasy looks and their eyes slightly darting.

"Guys what's-""Our parents already signed ours!" Boone blurted out which not only caused Penn to be shocked but a light smack from an annoyed Sashi.

"Why?" Penn asked his voice weak but filled with disbelief and hurt, Sashi seeing how crushed one of her best friends she started to explain her decision.

"Because of Rippen." Penn looked at he in confusion but she continued.

"Penn, Rippen was close to destroying the multiverse and he's getting closer to actually becoming a real villain that's why we chose to attend." He started to think of about it Rippen was getting closer to his goals and his plans becoming more serious. Penn put his pride aside for a moment and told his friends in uneasy tone.

"Alright I'll try to get my aunt and uncle to sign the paper." All three of the friends smiled but their smiles slightly uneasy since Penns' aunt and uncle have been a bit overprotective since his parents disappeared and he took up their job.

"Beside what's the worst that could happen?" Penn asked innocently but in a the "projection room" that housed the dimensional breach Phyllis darkly muttered under her breath with enough venom to kill a herd of elephants

"Beside fact he's called Demented Destroyer."

"What did you say Phyllis?'" Boone asked with his tone a mix of confusion and intrigue. Realizing that she could be figured out Phyllis lied to the boy.

"I was checking machine." Boone just nodded at the answer and left the theater to go home.

Dimension 2B-986ZG (Invader Zim)

1 week after introduction.

Deep in his underground layer Zim was looking at his computer with mood that would be described as extreme annoyance,

"Look, can you just connect me to the tallest, the information I've gathered is of extreme importance." Zim exclaimed to an Irken displayed on the screen of his computer. The Irken in question was feminine looks, with dark purple eyes wearing a lilac dress and wearing a dark red futuristic blue tooth headset. Said Irken is named Aaz and she was part of the Irken communications center, yes it was created to deal with Zim.

"State your problem that is hindering your invasion and we'll return to you in 5-6 solar cycles." Aaz told Zim in a bored, monotoned voice as she started to rub her head with her claws.

"My problem is that there's a threat that is close to exterminating me and possibly the entire Irken empire!" Zim screeched to Aaz , who slightly flinched, she then returned to her original bored expression. Aaz just took a deep breath to calm her nerves and asked Zim.

"State the class of your threat." Zim himself toke a breath as he looked dead into the screen as he told with his tone serious.

"A class E threat." Aaz just looked at him for few moments to digest the information then she started to something unexpected, she started to laugh small at first then to straight out side splitting laughter. After a few seconds , and complaints from other workers, she started to calm down but she still had a small smile on her face.

"Thanks, Zim I really needed that, you have no idea how boring it's been here." Zim just looked at Aaz with extreme annoyance as he whined.

"I did see them Aaz and I have proof!" He motioned Gir towards the computer.

"Zim the nearest class E threat is-"The statement died in her throat as she saw the picture that Gir was projecting.

"Connecting you to the tallest." Aaz told Zim, her tone grim.

Meanwhile at the Membrane Household Dib and his father are having a bit of a disagreement about enrolling into the school.

"Dad can you please sign it." Dib begged his father who just looked down at his son with an unmoving face and told him.

"No." Dib started to get a bit upset since his father always gave little or no help when it came to his activities.

"Come on please dad, this is a once in a lifetime moment. I could finally get some answers for some conspiracies." Dib begged his father whose unmoving face started to crack when he saw the hope in his sons' eyes. The living room was silent for a few moments but then told his son.

"Very well son, I'll sign it but Gaz will have to go with you." Dib was so ecstatic that he wasn't bothered that his sister had to go then he raced up towards his room to blog. While Dib gone to his room sat down in the nearest chair and sighed and then said.

"I hope they keep them safe."

Dimension 875-12SC (Steven Universe)

4 weeks after introduction, three were used to explain to Blue Diamond about what happened to Rose. Now they on to explaining the current situation to Greg, currently outside "It's a Wash".

"So, a group of highly powerful, gigantic beings want to train Stu-Ball and they my and her signature do to so?" Greg asked his voice full of disbelief and confusion but most of gems nodded their heads in agreement but Pearl decide to take it a step further.

"Yes, and they seem to think that this dictator is a better guardian than us." Blue Diamond just glared at the smaller gem and then retorted with equal amount of venom.

"At least I didn't try to kill him 100 times over!" Pearl was boiling mad at this point and was about to explode until Garnet put a hand on Pearls' shoulder. Pearl just looked at the current Crystal Gem leader in confusion, who just shook her head from side to side, Pearl was flabbergasted until Garnet told her.

"Pearl calm down, despite what she has done they chose her we just live with it." Pearl tried to say something but came up with nothing, she stayed quiet after that. Throughout the entire ordeal Steven stayed quiet and just looked at the ground with a saddened look, his dad took note of it and asked.

"What's wrong bud?" Steven quickly tried to feign his usual happy go lucky look and tried to answer in a happy tone.

"Nothing, just surprised that's all." His dad saw through his lie seeing how his sons' voice was laced with sorrow and a hint self-disappointment, hearing this Gregs' worry went through the roof and his parental instincts kicked in.

"Steven, really what's wrong?" Steven at first wanted to tell his dad that he felt fine and nothing was bothering him, but he knew if kept it bottled up it would backfire so he looked up from the ground and told Greg.

"I feel like they made a mistake when they sent me the letter." Needless to say everyone around him was shocked and extremely worried, even Blue Diamond, and extremely confused why he felt like this.

"Why would say that?" Amethyst asked her voice filled with concern and worry for Steven, a person that was like a younger brother to her, Steven just looked back to the ground and mumbled.

"Because, I don't feel like a hero, all I done is mess up and ruin things." Needless say the gems were racking their minds to think of things to say that could comfort the young half gem. After five minutes of searching their brains and surprisingly on them did.

"Steven, though I only been about two weeks, I know you've done amazing things already. You've defeated a corrupted gem without your weapon and then later healed that same gem, you also bubbled the cluster, a giant geo-weapon. If that doesn't define a hero then I don't what does." Blue Diamond told Steven her tone motherly and comforting. At first Steven was surprised at what she said but then felt at ease and his confidence was boosted, he started to remember all the other things he has done. He convinced an extreme loyalist to become a crystal gem, tricked a group of homewolrd soldiers and rescued his dad from an alien space station. He looked up from the ground, stood up and exclaimed to the gems.

"I want to go." He then struck a heroic pose, the gems finding this funny and adorable shared a small laugh.

Dimension 7735-2246MA

A month since the introduction, the location is the Dupain-Cheng household. All three the Dupain-Cheng family were sitting in their living room trying to start up a conversation about signing the slip.

"I think—""We think-" Unfortunately they tried to start a conversation at the same time, to which Marinette politely told her parents.

"Please, you guys go first." Her parents quickly obliged as her mom told her.

"Me and your father want you attend the school." This shocked Marinette, as she thought her parents wouldn't let her, sensing this her parents decided to explain their decision and tell her something that they needed to get off their chests.

"Marinette, we know you're Ladybug." This statement caused Marinette squak in fear and surprise, her mind quickly looking for ways that she can disprove her parents' statement.

"What me, Ladybug?! You must be joking, I mean Ladybug is amazing and graceful, Me I'm a total klutz and can't even get to school on time!" Her parents just deadpanned while Tom, her father, told her.

"Honey, your disguise is a mask and a too tight suit." Marinette blushed at her fathers' comments but they still didn't explain why they wanted her to attend.

"So why do you want me to attend?" Her parents then gained worried and saddened looks as they started to tell her, their tones slightly grim.

"Because, Marinette we're worried about the akumas you're facing, they're getting stronger and more dangerous. We're worried that you might get seriously hurt facing them or something worse and those beings seem to know how to deal with this." Marinette reflected upon what her parents said and they're right. The akumas her and Chat are facing are getting more violent than the others and more of them seem to be getting closer to their goals. After giving the topic a few moments of thought she politely gave her parents an answer.

"I like to go." Her parents slightly smiled at her, she then excused herself to her room due to Alya calling her to tell her something important, Alya got her parents to sign.

Meanwhile, at the Argreste mansion in the dining room, Gabriel managed to get home on time for once.

"What do you mean I won't attend?!" Adrien almost shouted in anger at his father, who just wore a mask of neutrality. Gabriel just sighed as he told his son, his voice calm and indifferent.

"I'll allow to go to a normal school but I will not allow to go to one that's filled with monsters, that is where I draw the line." Adrien couldn't believe this, these beings could teach him to be a better hero, learn amazing new things, and possibly confess his love to Ladybug.

"So, you won't let me go there just because they look different?" Adrien asked in a disappointed tone. Gabriel just looked as son confused and said.

"No, I'm not letting you go because I know next to nothing about them and this could all be a trap! Without knowing anything you could get hurt Adrien or even worse. Son, though it doesn't look like it I do care about you and don't want anything to happen to you." Gabriel finished showing signs of emotions, mainly worry and a touch sadness. Adrien thought about it and his father was right they didn't know anything about the teachers, beside the fact they're scary and powerful, but there was fact that his father left out.

"Father, if they wanted to hurt us would've they done so already?" From what Nathalie, Gabriels' assistant, told him the only time those beasts got violent is when other people wanted to attack or if they needed everyone to be quiet. So after an internal battle Gabriel told his son.

"Very well you may attend this school." Adrien then ran up to his room to tell Nino about what just happened.

The end.
