The Tower of Duma. A Sacred place for the worshipped god of Rigel, the War Father himself. While Alm and Celica were down below, everyone else was climbing the tower where at the top awaited a large muscular being that sat in a throne above.

"So...I take it you're Duma, right?" Jexi asked.

"You are correct, human. I am Duma." He said.

"Why do you and Mila conflict with each other? There must be some way you two can come together peacefully." Ace said trying to persuade Duma.

"Ace, I don't mean to be the bad guy here, but Mila and Duma have been at this for thousands of years. I don't think diplomacy is gonna solve anything quickly." Betty said.

"Then why fight your sister, Duma?" Harpuia asked. "Do you not love her?"

"I do love my sister...that is why I never once turned Falchion against her. Not once. But...power is what I crave most." Duma said.

"But don't you realize power isn't everything? Having too much power can cause harm to the people you care about." Jago said. "Just like me."

"And me… That is something I can never forget." Sectonia said.

"Funny...these guys didn't have a problem with power." a voice said as a figure was walking from the shadows. The figure wore japanese robes as he carried with him two swords and kept his eyes closed as he carried the bodies of Rinea, Fernand and Berkut.

"Fernand?! Now you decide to show your face after everything you said to Alm and-" Hope said.

"Hope, he's dead and...wait...I know you. You're Hatori...the bushido champion." Ty said.

"You know this guy?" Sting asked.

"A samurai in the modern age. He competes in sword based competitions such as Fencing and Bushido. He's undefeated and is referenced as the King of Swords." Ty said.

"And as recently...one of the talented twenty of the Hobbyists...a role I am glad to play." Hatori said.

"You're a hobbyist?!" Connor asked as everyone went on the defensive.

"Have you no honor as a samurai?" Kenshin said.

"And you're supposed to be?" Hatori asked Kenshin.

"Your attitude...the way you kill innocent people...I despise it." Kenshin said. "Leaders, I request permission to face this adversary alone."

"Innocent? Did you forget all the lives they've ravaged for the sake of their noble status?" Hatori asked.

"I see no problem with killing for one's country, that is all they were doing, fighting to save it. But...you cut them down, including a young woman. That I cannot forgive." Kenshin said.

"Kenshin, don't just defeat him. Wipe the floor with this guy." David said as Leonora took in Fernand, Berkut and Rinea's souls.

"Show em' whos gonna be the next Warlord of the Warrior universe." Connor said tipping his hat.

"Undefeated? Hah, you haven't met Kenshin, have you? Do your worst, he'll take it." Hope said.

"Kenshin….don't lose." Zexi said.

"Sir Kenshin, good luck." Ace said as Harpuia walked past him. "Lord Harpuia?"

"I shall assist Lord Kenshin, hearing this man speak of such things makes me sick." Harpuia said as he drew his twin plasma swords.

"Don't." David said hold Harpuia back. "This is a battle between samurai. We have no right to interfere."

"Very well, Sir David." Harpuia said as he retracted his sabers.

"If there's one thing you don't wanna do, it's interfere in a duel with Samurai. ESPECIALLY if one of those combatants, is Kenshin." Gemina said.

"Okay...let's get started." Hatori said slowly opening his eyes as he rushed at Kenshin at quick speeds. Kenshin quickly drew one sword as he blocked a strike aimed for his side. "Not bad."

"That shot...you were aiming for my stomach. I take it this relates to your law. The one embedded in your eyes." Kenshin said.

"Heh. Nothing gets by you." Hatori said opening his eyes to show target shaped irises. "Law of Locking On. With my eyes, I can identify the weakpoints on anything within 2 seconds of opening."

"Those are some serious contact lenses." Ty said.

"Who said they were contacts? These are my real eyes." Hatori said.

"So that's how you were able to win so many battles." Ace said.

"How dishonorable. Using a Law to win even if its against regulation in duels?" Hovernayan asked.

"Unforgivable! Samurai must win by their own skills, not with tricks of the new age!" Shogunyan said.

"He's the samurai of this age, Shogunyan. Of course he would find some way to win even if it meant cheating." Ty said.

"So how did he get his hands on a Law that fused directly in his eyes? I guess Diablo has advanced technology in applying laws via laser treatment?" Connor asked.

"Laws are normally applied to non living things. Though something like eyes wouldn't count as living since its just tissue." Daisy said.

"C'mon Kenshin, don't let this cheater disgrace the Samurai way!" Gemini said.

"Don't let this dishonorable bastard win!" Jago said.

"I don't intend to." Kenshin said. "Come at me again." he said drawing his other blade.

"Let's try this again." Hatori said closing and then opening his eyes as he charged. "Okay, this time I'll...huh?" he thought as Kenshin tried to get a cut in as Hatori jumped back. "Strange...for a minute his weak points vanished. I'll try again." he said doing the same thing and charging only for the same results. "What's going on? His weak points keep vanishing."

"Showing any form of weakness leads to death." Kenshin said. "You only got a chance because it was the start of our battle. But now...I'm not dropping my guard."

"Damn it. My law is useless on this guy. Guess I got no choice." Hatori said shutting his eyes and redrawing his blades. "Gonna have to fight it fair this time."

Hatori and Kenshin then started clashing with one another across the battlefield as sparks began to fly as the two were locked in deadly combat.

"Come on Kenshin!" Leonis said.

"Win this. Defeat this disgrace!" Psychic said.

"Come on! Win...Kenshin!" the leaders said.

"Kenshin! Kenshin! Kenshin!" the groups cheered.

"Two, Four, Six, Eight, Who do we appreciate?" The girls on Ace's team cheered.

"How are you...keeping up so well?" Hatori asked.

"Simple...I am the one to rule as Warlord over my entire universe." Kenshin said with a smirk drawing his third blade and biting down on the hilt.

"Santoryu!" Harpuia said surprised.

"Yup, its over." Hope said.

"Indeed. This match was decided the moment it started." Kenshin said spinning in a circle three times as cherry blossoms started falling from his swords. "Three Sword Style...Cherry Blossom….Climax!" Kenshin said running back Hatori as he was cut as Cherry Blossoms came from his wounds. "How does it feel...to finally fall, so called King of Swords?" Kenshin said as Hatori fell unconscious to the ground.

"The poor man." Ace said as he closed his eyes. "I pity him."

"There's no sorrow for him. Only disgrace as someone who sullied the ways of the sword." Kenshin said.

"But now… There's one more thing to take care of." David said.

"You humans...you've kept me impatient long enough." Duma said getting up. "Hmm. I can feel it. My sister has finally passed. I will mourn her later...after claiming Zofia under my rule as well."

"Not gonna happen, we're stopping you, here!" David said.

"Fools! You dare raise your hands against a god?!" Duma asked.

"We've fought a lot of gods before, Duma. You don't even make the top ten." Hope said.

"Didn't you already say that to Ultron Sigma?" Zelos asked.

"Plus, do you see this sword?" David asked bringing out Masakado. "It's been known to slay gods!"

"A sword that slays gods? So...something reminiscent to Falchion." Duma said.

"I'm a demon hunter, so I didn't think I'd put this to work… But, I noticed that like demons, gods have a way of influencing the hearts of people, so in that contrast, how exactly are they any different?" David asked.

"Face it Duma, your time is up!" Ace said.

"David...fight him as long as you can till Alm arrives with Falchion." Jexi whispered.

"Got it." David responded as he unsheathed Masakado.

Duma raised his tentacles which were hair as he proceeded to fight David.

"Isn't there anything we can do to help?" Stoj asked.

Hawkeye then spotted the Rigelians sieging the tower. "We could stop the Rigelians from getting in here."

"Holy cow, there's thousands of em!" Connor said.

"You underestimate the influence I have. All of Rigel is my domain. This is the country I have built up, after all." Duma said.

"Shut up! All you do is control people and make them your slaves, leaving them no free will." Ace yelled.

"You be si...Ahhh!" Duma said as David left a major cut in Duma's chest.

"Shouldn't you be more worried about me?" David asked.

"So...it is a god slaying sword after all." Duma said growling as his energy increased.

"David, we'll hold off the Rigelians, you hold Duma down until Alm gets here." Ty said. "Let's move, Ultra Hero Alliance!"

"I'll hold out as long as I can." David said.

"See that you do. Don't die on us!" Sectonia said.

"Please be safe David." Ace said before he ran outside.

"Yeah...though with Duma here...I'm not sure what the odds are." David said to himself as Duma charged as he and David clashed. "Your philosophy is that people gain happiness if they struggle for it. I know how it feels. Heck, for the past few years, I've lived that life. But...if it weren't for my companions, I wouldn't have been able to look past that."

"Your point being...your companions gave you power. It is a foolish thought to even consider." Duma said.

"No, it isn't!" a voice shouted as they turned to see Alm and Celica both arriving. "Did we keep you waiting?"

"Not very long. I was just talking to him about past experiences." David said as he turned to Duma. "Don't you see, Duma? My friends gave me power, so that I can use it to protect those I cherish the most. There's nothing wrong with gaining power for the sake of others, is there?"

"No. There isn't." Celica said.

"And now...it's time for the people's beliefs to be heard." Alm said drawing Falchion.

"I've gotta get down there and help the others. The rest is up to you two!" David said.

"Don't worry. It won't take long." Alm said as he and Duma charged at one another.

Outside…

"Oh my god, there's like a million of them!" Gemini said clashing with multiple swords.

"Harpuia, I think it's time to bring out the big guns!" Fefnir said as Harpuia turned to him.

"It seems so. Guardians unleash your power!" Harpuia said as all four of them were engulfed in a bright light. After the light subsided the Guardians took on enormous forms. Fefnir was a tank with four cannons top to bottom, Leviathan was a flying jet submarine with missile launchers installed, Harpuia was a combat jet with missiles on both wings, and Phantom took the form of a bat with missiles and lasers under his wings.

"Uh… did anyone know they could do that?" Connor asked.

"I'm just as surprised as you are!" Ace said.

"They need pilots, so if you're done staring…" Gemina said.

"There's no need." Harpuia said. "When we transform like this we are capable of control."

"Oh, well then… unleash hell!" Ty said.

And with that, the Guardians obliged. Fefnir fired large rings of Fire in front of a group of soldiers, Leviathan was corkscrewing through another group while firing missiles and unleashing Ice Dragons, Harpuia fired missiles while activating electric ball chains that went back and forth underneath his wings, and Phantom spread out his wings and fire multiple missiles and lasers on the enemies underneath him.

"Wow…" Sunset said.

"Let's give em a hand." Ace said as his eye color glowed white while a silhouette of Alexander appeared and changed into a buster arm. "Charge Shot!" Ace shouted firing multiple lasers from Final Judgement hitting a small group of enemies.

"We're doing good so far." Lloyd said. "I just hope David's doing okay."

David spotted a large group of enemies from overhead.

"Ace… Your summon of Shiva reminds me of my old master. That being said, I hope you don't mind me using her technique." David said as he leapt before landing on the ground. "Arctic Style Elite Art: Diamond Dust!"

Ace looked over and saw David use Shiva's technique in awe. "Amazing!" Ace said before switching to Diamond Dust. "Hope he doesn't mind if I join in." He said firing off an arrow freezing a group of enemies.

As the groups continued to fight, it wasn't long before the fighting above silenced as walking to the edge of the tower was Alm.

"Alm… He actually did it. I knew he could do it." David said with a smile.

Ace looked up as well and saw a water blue soul fly down from the tower and in front of him as it took the appearance of a woman holding a harp with wings as part of her hair.

"I am Siren, may my melodies support you throughout your journey." Siren said as she turned back into a soul and flew into Ace.

It wasn't long after that, Alm and Celica were indicted as the king and queen of the newly reunified Valentia, slowly beginning the rebuild of their country.

"Things are finally at peace." Ace said as he held his hands together.

"Yeah. And it seems like we won't be seeing you for awhile, Ace. That's why...we want you to have this." Jexi said handing a small device. "It's a communicator. Your time may have been short, but we consider you a member of our alliance. And if you ever get into any trouble...contact us."

Ace immediately started crying and began to smile while he rubbed his eyes. "T-thank you so much, I'm gonna miss you guys. I hope we can team up again soon. I'm glad I can call you my family." Ace said rubbing his eyes as he took the communicator.

"I have a feeling we'll be seeing you again real soon." David said.

"Hey, how about a quick group photo. So we can remember this moment?" Mahiru asked.

"Alright." Ace said.

"Will your camera even fit all of us?" David said.

"If I step back far enough…" Mahiru said doing so and setting it on a timer. "Okay. Smile!" she said running in to join them. As soon as she did, the camera went off, taking a large group photo.

Ace was smiling in the center with his arms around Jexi, David and Hope.

"I'll give em one thing, those three are pretty tight." Ty said. "You sure you're up for handling them all, kid prodigy?" He asked Zexi.

"Yeah. I wanna surpass all of them, no matter what." Zexi said.

"Jexi, Hope, David, could you come here for a sec?" Ace asked the trio.

"Sure." David said.

Ace pulled all three of them into a hug as he started tearing up. "Thank you. I'm glad you and the others helped me every step of the way since we met, until we meet again." He said as he opened a portal as his teammates stepped in until he was the last one and looked at the other groups and held is pendant out.

The seven leaders did the same thing to him. "Till we meet again...hero." they all said.

"Goodbye." Ace said as tears flowed from his eyes as he stepped into the portal.

"Nice kid." Connor said.

"Yeah. That guy is going places." David said as he saw Rainbow and Jesse with their bags. "So, I guess this is it, huh?"

"Don't worry. We're gonna come back someday. Promise." Rainbow said.

"We'll be back as soon as we get a few things straightened out." Jesse said.

"You two just make sure you have fun, and don't let your doubts cloud you." Hope said.

"We won't. That's what you wanted from me, right Driver?" Rainbow said.

"Just go and blow Bow man guy away. And tell him...that I want a rematch someday." Driver said.

"I'll be sure to tell him personally." Rainbow said getting out a tablet and pressing a button as a portal opened.

"Say hi to Ichigo, Yu and the Gang for us!" Pinkie said.

"And give Jaune, Nora and Ren my best!" Ruby said.

The two of them smiled as they headed off through the portal as Jexi smiled. "Its time…"

Rainbow and Jesse soon stepped through to a familiar island where Bow stood there. "Been waiting baby girl." he said.

"Yeah. I bet you have." Rainbow said.

"I mean, it's a shame you gotta do this alone. Your Error training I mean. Jesse, right? Heard a lot about you. Hope you can get along with the Coalition." Bow said.

"You don't have to worry about a thing, sir." Jesse said.

"As for you Rainbow...I'm surprised you left your friends. They probably would have helped." Bow said.

"Who says they aren't?" a voice shouted as Rainbow turned around.

(Music Cue: One Piece: Overtaken OST)

Stepping through the portal came out ten figures as Rainbow looked at them in shock. "No...way."

Standing there was Zoro, Usopp, Robin, Franky, Law, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Vector, Knuckles and Alphonse.

"What is…" Rainbow said.

"Hey, we're just doing what Jexi ordered of us." Law said.

"Jexi….what did…." Rainbow said.

"He said it loud and clear to the ten of us. Go and support Rainbow as much as ya can. Make her strong enough to stand on her own without parents help." Gajeel said.

"Jexi...I owe him big for this." Rainbow said before invoking her blade and keyblade and stuck both in the ground. "Four months! I predict that in that time...I'm gonna be able to take you down with one hit, dad."

"That's a pretty bold claim, little girl." Bow said.

"When I'm with these guys...even when its a small number of them...nothing is impossible. Same with my keyblade pal. Right, Jesse?" Rainbow asked.

"That's right, Rainbow. Let's both do our best in our training!" Jesse said.

"Hehehe. Gutsy. Then again, you are my own daughter. Okay Rainbow. But remember...I'm not planning to go easy." Bow said.

"Good. I wouldn't have it any way." Rainbow said. "Our training in the Hero Coalition and to beat you...starts now!"
