A/N: This arc's hitting all cylinders with our heroes spread in different worlds. The YYGDM leaders face their Divine Enforcer (aka Justice Lord) counterparts and the Ascendant team must contend with Specter's forces. In the meantime, Pluto, John, Homura, and Spirit must race to stop Specter from capturing anymore heroes.
So many conflicts happening, how will this all be resolved?
Well, here's part 2 of our wacky adventures in Sojourner Travels!
Ford1114's A/N: Welcome back to another chapter and the last update of March before transitioning to April (which it's going to be a busy month). I've been playing Nioh and Horizon Zero Dawn. They're great games and have beaten the stories (Well, I didn't buy the Switch, though Chaosblazer just bought the Nintendo console (and Belletiger is going to get it) in letting us know. I'm sure that these people are enjoying The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (With some exceptions due to dealing with Nintendo copyright strikes on videos like Angry Joe wanting to review this (Which he finally did and upload the video on 3/21/17)).). I have seen Logan and Kong: Skull Island. Have you all seen the fourth Digimon Adventure tri. movie? I'd always see MetalSeadramon as the bad guy in the official canon, while Belletiger made him (meaning a parallel version of him) a good guy and Kotori's partner in YYGDM. This movie also officially reveals the original Chosen Children at last after past years of fans speculating (and Kanius once did Taito, Cyrus, and company in DF/DFKai), and boy does it surprise me of the lore.
Sad news, the manga creator of High School of the Dead passed away of heart disease, he's young (Of saying why specific people die young these days…) and this means the series will never be concluded (Now we fear about Togashi's condition for Hunter x Hunter since both that and High School of the Dead are put in hiatus/stories unfinished. Being a mangaka is tough due to different kinds of workload/stress in causing sickness (Unlike a novelist/light novelist despite being as hard), though some are lucky to handle it. I know that graphic novels/comics are more of co-productions with a team of writers and artists (and even artists help out novels as co-production), while a mangaka is mostly drawing on his/her own (making it slightly tougher in time consuming) with editors. Though on brighter news, I saw the synopsis of the Godzilla anime film besides coming to Netflix that it sets 20,000 years in the future where Kaijuu rule the ecosystem and will be a film trilogy. Not to mention the 25th anniversaries of Sailor Moon/YYH celebrations (especially YYH with a new pic, might be seeing a remake like Hunter x Hunter).
First, here's another Corner segment that me and Kanius did inspired from Nioh.

Dimension: Character Corner/Feudal Japan/Year: 1603
It has been three years since Anjin, better known as William helped Japan against the maniacal alchemist, Edward Kelley, and William saved his Guardian Spirit, Saiorse. After returning from England in dealing with the mastermind, John Dee (who transformed into a Yokai called Hundred Eyes, translated as Hyakume), the Irishman returned back to Japan upon seeing visions pertaining to the Siege of Osaka. Here, he is at a dojo with Hanzo Hattori (who is actually Hattori Masanari, the son of the original Hanzo (who was a Yokai called Giant Toad (called Ogama in Japanese))), and a kunoichi named Okatsu.
Hanzo: (speaking in Japanese) Are you feel certain you're staying here for a reason?
William: It's just, I don't know what to tell you.
Okatsu: (speaking in Japanese in a sardonic tone) Hmph, so you say that you left us.
William has nothing to say. Just then, a Guardian Spirit appears in front of Hanzo in revealing to be the white nekomata with a right eyepatch.
Nekomata: (speaking in Japanese) Everyone! Lord Ieyasu reports that a group of visitors have appeared in these lands, they are so interesting to say the least.
William: Visitors?
The three people and the Nekomata then decide on going to Ieyasu's castle to see what's what.

(Cue Nioh OST - Tokai Region Map Theme)
At Tokugawa Ieyasu's place, the shogun sits in the middle of a large meeting room, with tables and tea/food for each guest. On one side shows William, Hanzo, and Okatsu (with Nekomata seen). The other side shows Setsuna, John, Homura, and a special guest named Sailor Unborn Saturn (The daughter of Sailor Saturn and Dimitro appearing from Crystal Tokyo's future, her civilian name is Honami Tomoe-Lesvaque).
Sailor Unborn Saturn looks like Sailor Saturn with her hairstyle. Her hair is white with two white bows on each side and white spike-hair decorations and a tri-spike decoration in the middle that covers her yellow sailor tiara. Her white bodysuit covers all through her arms (with white lines seen) and legs, has shoulder pads with two spikes each, has a green chest bow with a spike emblem instead of heart-shaped, her skirt is white with green and gray lines, has a white back bow in the back, and green leggings with white decorations. She closely resembles more of a gijinka-version tribute of the I. rex.
Ieyasu: (to Setsuna/John's group and speaking in Japanese) Now that we're here, what business do you seek in our lands? And where did you come from?
Nekomata: (speaking in Japanese) Hmm, I see that the former Time Guardian is here that I've heard stories from her.
Okatsu: (eyes on John and speaking in Japanese) He reminds me of a greedy duck wanting to steal money for himself.
John: Well now you all speak Japanese? Well, as a part-Time Lord, I'm able to translate and understand the universal languages.
John then speaks in Japanese.
John (speaks in Japanese): We came here on vacation on your lands. I brought my colleagues here to explore this period. (turns to Okatsu) And I'll forgive you calling me Scrooge McDuck, thank you very much, lad.
Setsuna (speaks more fluent Japanese than John): Please excuse us. I hope we're not intruding.
John (speaks in Japanese): You see we're not from here. We traveled here using a TARDIS.
Ieyasu (in Japanese): TARDIS? What is that?
Homura (in Japanese): A time device. We came here from another world and time.
William: I see, you all come from another world. Since this gentleman is able to speak my tongue, can the rest of you?
Setsuna: Yes, we can.
Homura: Of course.
John: Where are our manners? I'm John Smith!
Setsuna (bows): I am Setsuna Meioh.
Homura: I'm Homura Akemi-Ouma.
Unborn Saturn: You may call me Honami Tomoe-Lesvaque. (bows and speaks Japanese) Good day to you all. And I can see the spirit there. (eyes Nekomata)
Nekomata (in Japanese): Wait? You can see me?
Unborn Saturn (in Japanese): I can.
William: And I can see spirits are among you, but they don't seem like yokai.
Indeed, William can see Lupe the Time Wolf beside Setsuna, an Andrewsarchus besides Homura, and an Indominus rex named Clear behind Unborn Saturn.
Setsuna: The spirits you see among us are animal spirits.
John: It's nothing unusual for us.
Hanzo (faces Unborn Saturn): You dress very peculiarly.
Unborn Saturn: My outfit's motif is based on my spiritual animal. It's a dinosaur.
William: Yes, I see these prehistoric animals.
John: You should see the other spirit animals from Miss Setsuna's world. There's a variety of them!
(End theme)
Suddenly, the groups hear a loud rumble that caught their attention.
Okatsu: (speaking in Japanese) What is that?!
John: You feel that, Setsuna?
Setsuna: I do, they're around us.
Unborn Saturn: And amassing in large quantities.
Homura: (senses) Dark energy, corrupted Amrita from outside.

(Cue Nioh OST - Azuchi Castle)
As the group heads outside, they saw in shock that a certain eight-headed snake with black scales, gray underbellies, some red linings through its necks, tufts of gray hair, red eyes, red fangs, different shaped horns, a single small horn on each forehead, and small yellow horn spikes through its eyebrows/head sides/chins is revived. Civilians run in panic with soldiers stand guard, as the skies become dark with thunderstorms. This is the Nioh version of Yamata-no-Orochi that's once revived by Edward Kelley, with five of its heads (with different colored horn shapes) wields different elements (fire (red horns), water (light blue horns), lightning (yellow horns), earth (purple horns), and wind (light green horns)). Orochi hisses and roars in distance at the oppositions. It is a grim reminder that a version of Orochi appeared in YYGDM's Second Ragnarok and Shinnen. Below Orochi on the ground is an army of Yokai such as Skeleton Warriors, Skeleton Axemen, Yoki, Amrita Fiends, One-Eyed Oni, Raven Tengus, Onyudo, 1 Onryoki, 1 Hino-Enma, 1 Joro-Gumo, and 1 Nue.
Hanzo: (speaking in Japanese) Orochi?! Here?!
Nekomata: (speaking in Japanese) Probably an unknown force that revives the serpent, but we don't know where.
William: (wielding his katana and summoning his Guardian Spirit, Saiorse) I have beaten him once, I'll do so again.
Homura: But you need some help. (loaded her magic pistol)
Unborn Saturn: (wields the Unborn Glaive, forged from Mercurymon's steel) I'm ready to take action! (She then summons Clear as the artificial dinosaur roars)
Setsuna transforms into Sailor Pluto and calls forth Lupe the Time Wolf.
Pluto: Are you ready for a battle, Lupe?
Lupe (snarls): Yes, but let's be careful with these yokai!
John: Finally, I get to cut loose! It's been too long since I've so! (transforms into Volodramon)
Homura: You've hardly ever had to use this form since I joined you.
Volodramon: Now you're about to see what I can do!
Ieyasu: (speaking in Japanese as he orders. His Guardian Spirit, a tanuki named Narikama Tanuki seen beside him) By my command, attack!
The group then charges at the Yokai army. William slashes at Skeleton Warriors and Yoki with his sword. Hanzo uses his ninjutsu in throwing bombs at Raven Tengus and throwing makibishi at the floor to slow down Onyudo, Okatsu supports in throwing shurikens at the Onyudo before using her kunai in slashing at the Yokai's long tongue while it attempts to crush her.
Homura shoots down Raven Tengus and One-Eyed Oni with her magic bullets and artilleries with her Andrewsarchus partner in the background is mauling down Yokai, before confronting the Joro-Gumo. The Joro-Gumo lunges at Homura with her webs, but the magical girl easily evades and shoots at the spider woman's back underbelly, which the Yokai aggressively reacts and continues the offensive. Homura keeps evading Joro-Gumo's slash attacks and leaps above to go behind the spider Yokai, Homura uses artillery to fire at half of Joro-Gumo's armored legs in destroying them as the spider woman screeches in pain. Homura rushes in grabbing Joro-Gumo's throat and snaps her neck, instantly killing her.
Clear is biting down and rips an Amrita Fiend in half. Unborn Saturn is blocking a Skeleton Axeman's axe before breaking it with her glaive, and then cuts it in half. Unborn Saturn and Clear are then facing off Nue, that the Nue cast down devastating thunderbolts, both dodge as Clear bites Nue's neck in throwing it to the ground, with Unborn Saturn leaping down with her Unborn Glaive in stabbing and injuring the chimeric beast. Nue shakes both of them off and unleashes more thunder strikes. Clear tail whips the lightning chimera, allowing Unborn Saturn to leap to Nue's back. Nue's snake tail tries to bite and spews poisonous gas at the Neo Senshi, but Unborn Saturn cuts the tail off with her glaive. Nue roars in trying to unleash a thunderbolt at Unborn Saturn, only that Clear bites Nue's neck and Unborn Saturn brutally stabs its right eye through the skull/brain in instantly killing the Yokai.
Pluto and Volodramon face off against the Onryoki and Hino-Enma. The Onryoki angrily roars while the Hino-Enma gives a seductive look and licks her lips. Volodramon attacks Onryoki and mercilessly strikes him in the side. He sidesteps Onryoki's blow and hops on his back. Volodramon pounds on Onryoki's back head, only for the beast to toss him off, but Volodramon hangs onto his horns.
Volodramon: I've got you by the horns! And I don't intend to let go!
Hino-Enma prepares to save Onryoki, but Pluto cuts her off with a Dead Scream. Hino-Enma quickly turns and snarls at Sailor Pluto and Lupe.
Pluto (to Hino-Enma): And where do you think you're going?
Lupe growls and lunges at Hino-Enma. Hino-Enma flies into and slams against Lupe. Lupe whines in pain and hits the ground. Pluto avenges her spirit partner and hits Hino-Enma with her Time Staff. Hino-Enma quickly parries Pluto's staff with her feet. She grabs and disarms Pluto. She flaps her wings, knocking Pluto away. Pluto hits a wall as Hino-Enma dives into and pins the Senshi against the wall.
Hino-Enma (licks lips and speaking in Japanese): Your soul will be tasty to devour.
Pluto (speaks in Japanese): Don't get too excited.
With that, Pluto transforms into a Dai-Valkyrie, and the resulting power brushes Hino-Enma back. Lupe seizes this chance and jumps on Hino-Enma's back, biting her left shoulder. Hino-Enma wails in pain. Dai-Valkyrie Pluto flies up and kicks Hino-Enma back.
Volodramon quickly ends Onryoki by slicing the beast's throat with his claws. Volodramon then unleashes a blast that blows a hole through Onryoki's head. Onryoki falls with a big hole in his head as a pool of blood spills out.
As Hino-Enma sits up, Dai-Valkyrie Pluto lifts her Time Staff and beckons Chronos' power. She brings down staff, summoning a dome of light over Hino-Enma.
Pluto: Now wither with the flow of time!
Pluto hastens time over Hino-Enma, causing her to age and wither into a skeleton. Hino-Enma's skeleton breaks apart and dissolves into dust.
Lupe: Well done, Lady Pluto.
Pluto: There's still one.
(Cue Nioh OST - Yamata-no-Orochi)
William: And we're down to one, Orochi.
Hanzo (speaking in Japanese): I really wish Orochi didn't have to come back.
Pluto (adds in Japanese): Not to fear, we're here to help you.
Volodramon: Allons-y, let's go work, my friends!
Unborn Saturn (brandishes her glaive and speaks in Japanese): Orochi, your end is at hand!
The unified group begins to charge at Orochi. Unborn Saturn rides with Clear as both evade one of Orochi's heads breathing dark energy at them, Unborn Saturn slashes at the neck of Orochi's. Hanzo is at his distance in throwing bombs at Orochi's water head, with Okatsu calling upon her rabbit Guardian Spirit named Gyokuto (meaning 'jade rabbit' originated from the moon) that she enhances herself with lighting speed in slashing at Orochi's water head. William activates his Living Weapon ability with Saiorse's help that his sword glows in water element and is slashing at Orochi's earth head, while Homura fires magic bullets at Orochi's wind head as its neck stretches and attempts to eat the magical girl with its jaws. Pluto sends Lupe to stop the wind head from snatching Homura. Then, Homura's Andrewsarchus jumps up and headbutts Orochi's wind head.
Homura: Thank you, Pluto and Lupe!
Just then, Orochi's fire and lightning heads are breathing fire and lightning breaths at Pluto and Volodramon.
Volodramon: Heads up, Pluto!
Pluto: Move!
Pluto and Volodramon evade the fire and lightning attacks. Dai-Valkyrie Pluto quickly glides up and with her Garnet Orb, blasting Orochi's fire head. Lupe joins in and strikes Orochi's fire head and evades a fire breath. Volodramon retaliates and slashes Orochi's lightning head, nearly cutting it off from the neck.
Volodramon: Yes, I think we're weakening him!
William: No, I'm afraid not!
Unborn Saturn: He's right! Look!
Homura (blanches): Oh no.
Pluto (gapes): One of the heads is transforming!
One of Orochi's heads alters in having curved horns that they're now glowing red and boost its strength with discord and combined elements, much like the last part of facing Nioh's final boss. Yamata-no-Orochi roars as the unified group continues to fight that god-like monster with everything they got.

Shinjuku District/Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building/Legend HQ/Dimension: YYGDM-DE
"The Divine Enforcers are really just us?!" Takato yelled out, absolutely flabbergasted seeing his Divine Enforcer self.
"Yeah! They don't look too friendly, Takato!" Guilmon said, intently glaring down Takato (DE) and his Divine Enforcer counterpart. "And the other me doesn't wanna say hello either."
"We must've landed into a parallel universe opposite from our own," Yugi deduced, meticulously studying his Divine Enforcer self. "In our world, we're heroes, but in this alternate universe, they're completely far from being heroes."
"So we're the bad guys here?" Brunhilde asked Yugi.
"Not quite. They're not necessarily villainous. Though the way the people here seem to fear them, that suggests they may be heroes with extremist views."
"Oh great. So we're dictators in this world?" Brunhilde scoffed, turning and facing her Divine Enforcer self.
Sailor Moon walked up and quietly faced down Moon (DE). "Listen, this is all a misunderstanding. We just happened to fall into your world."
Moon (DE) shot a cold glare, causing Moon to stop in her tracks.
"We were chasing some villain here who's been capturing heroes and she happened to take some of our friends," Moon tried reasoning with her Divine Enforcer counterpart. "If you'd let us go and find Specter…"
Moon (DE) rushed forward and landed a flying kick to Moon.
"Sailor Moon!" Sedna shouted as she jumped in and caught Moon. "Hey! What's the big idea?! She's trying to negotiate with you!" She chastised Moon (DE).
(Cue Injustice: Gods Among Us OST - Stryker's Island Prison)
"The Divine Enforcers don't believe in negotiations," Moon (DE) coldly replied and dropped into a fighting stance.
The Divine Enforcers spread out and surrounded the YYGDM leaders. Takuya scanned the Divine Enforcers, confused by the lack of presence of his counterpart.
"Hey, where's the me of this parallel world?!" Takuya demanded an answer from the Divine Enforcers.
The Divine Enforcers remained silent on the matter. There were disconcerted looks on their faces.
"You…" Sedna (DE) tried to speak, but Marty (DE) cut her off.
"Don't bother. They'll know in time before we displace them," Marty (DE) scoffed, shifting his eyes on the YYGDM leaders.
"Displace?" Marty muttered, catching on to his counterpart's remark.
"How about we dispense this idle chat and just get down with kicking their butts?!" Brunhilde (DE) shouted.
"Yeah, we don't want our obedient masses to confuse us with these softies," Takato (DE) added as he quickly invoked Suzaku's power and transformed into Suzakato. "Ready, boy?!" He and Guilmon (DE) Biomerged into BlazeGallantmon.
"You're going to wish you didn't cross us!" Yugi (DE) barked as he Spirit Fused into Magician of Black Chaos.
The YYGDM leaders got into fighting stances as the Divine Enforcers headed their way. Takato and Guilmon responded against their Divine Enforcers and biomerged into BlazeGallantmon. Takuya wasted no time Spirit Evolving into Agunimon.
Moon (DE) hastily rushed at Moon and attempted a leg sweep. Moon hopped over Moon (DE)'s foot and backflipped away. Moon (DE) quickly grabbed Moon's arm and tossed her through the front doors of Legend HQ. Moon sprang up and watched Moon (DE) throw her tiara. Moon sidestepped the incoming tiara and grabbed it. Moon (DE) recalled her tiara back and took out a scepter. Moon did the same.
Moon and Moon (DE) encircled each other, waiting to see who shoots first.
Moon (DE) smirked, noting the hesitation on her counterpart's face. "Aww, what's wrong? Don't have it in you to shoot me first?"
Moon gritted and struggled to shoot. "You're me…"
"I was you, but matured with the changing times and firmed my resolve," Moon (DE) responded firmly and rather coldly. "Once I rose as Neo-Queen Serenity, I couldn't afford to go easy on my enemies anymore. Being soft cost us a friend."
Moon gasped. "Cost you a friend…?" Before she could finish, Moon (DE) fired a beam from her scepter. She fired back, locking herself and Moon (DE) in a beam struggle that put them at a standstill.
Both Moons powered up their scepters and knocked each other back.
Yusuke and Yusuke (DE) sized each other up before going into fisticuffs. Yusuke (DE) jumped up and fired off a round of Spirit Gun blasts. Yusuke responded with a Spirit Wave, brushing his Divine Enforcer counterpart away. Yusuke launched himself upward and prepared to punch him. Yusuke (DE) grabbed Yusuke's fist and headbutted him. Yusuke (DE) then followed up with a kick to Yusuke's gut, sending him crashing to the ground.
"Geez, was I this pathetic?" Yusuke (DE) snorted, stepping on Yusuke's back. "C'mon, get your stinking ass up!" He prepared to fire a bigger Spirit Gun.
Grabbing a handful of dirt, Yusuke tossed it in Yusuke (DE)'s face and kicked him in the gut. Yusuke (DE) doubled over, allowing Yusuke to unload on him. Yusuke grabbed Yusuke (DE) and tossed him into the air. Yusuke jumped up, hitting him with a spirit-powered punch. Yusuke (DE) put up his guard, shrouding both hands in Youki.
"Hey, I'll grant you this, other me!" Yusuke (DE) boasted. "You still fight dirty when the situation calls for it!"
"Me change up my fighting style? In your dreams, asshole-me!" Yusuke snapped back.
Yugi (DE) fired magical beams at Yugi. Yugi forged magic barriers, nullifying his attacker's blasts. Yugi attempted a dark magic beam from his scepter, but Yugi (DE) countered with Magical Hats. Yugi blasted the middle hat, which revealed no Yugi (DE). Yugi (DE) emerged from the far right hat and shot a beam at Yugi, knocking away his staff.
"Seems your dueling has gotten rusty, other me," Yugi (DE) criticized him.
"You haven't beaten me yet," Yugi scowled, taking out a few cards. He summoned Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl to the battlefield.
"The more we're different, the more we're still the same," Yugi (DE) smirked as he summoned the same monsters.
"Go, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl!" Yugi beckoned his two Duel Monsters to attack.
As Yugi (DE) ordered his monsters to attack, Yugi's monsters fired tandem blasts at Yugi (DE). Yugi (DE) quickly summoned Mirror Force to send their attacks back. Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl dodged as Yugi (DE)'s magician duo engaged them.
Brunhilde crossed burning blades with Brunhilde (DE). Brunhilde (DE) shoved Brunhilde away and swung her blade, sending a pillar of blue flames toward her counterpart's way. Brunhilde prepared to absorb the blue flames, but these flames proved too much for her. Brunhilde swiftly moved to the side to recover from Brunhilde (DE)'s flames.
"Seems my blue flames are more potent than yours," Brunhilde (DE) smiled darkly. She brandished her blue flaming sword and rushed at Brunhilde.
Brunhilde and Brunhilde (DE) both phased out as they reappeared in mid-air. The two Brunhildes swung their flaming swords at the same time. Blue flames erupted from their swords and lit up a bright spark of light in the vicinity. Brunhilde fiercely glared into her Divine Enforcer self's cold eyes.
"Yeah, you're probably a step above me, but I'm not going down to some eviler version of me?!"
"Me evil? Who said we were ever the bad guys?" Brunhilde (DE) frowned. "We're just not soft like you, wimps! We dish out divine justice through extreme measures!"
"Divine justice? Sounds to me you've let all that power go to your heads!" Brunhilde rebuked. One swing from her blade unleashed enough force to knock Brunhilde (DE) away.
Brunhilde (DE) crashed into the ground but quickly picked herself up.
Brunhilde pointed her sword toward the Divine Enforcer. "I know a bullshitter when I see one, and the way I see it your so-called 'divine justice' is full of crap!"
"You wouldn't say that if you only knew our full story."
"Like I care."
Brunhilde (DE) scowled. "Then, let me ask this. Why isn't there a Takuya with us?"
Upon hearing this, Brunhilde was silenced. Brunhilde (DE) flew down and unleashed a blue-flamed bird that headed for Brunhilde. Brunhilde evaded the flaming bird but left herself open for the Divine Enforcer to kick her in the back.
Having evolved into Mega, MetalSeadramon fought hard against his Divine Enforcer counterpart.
(Cue Injustice: Gods Among Us OST - Joker's Game - Earth Battle)
Sailor Sedna raised her Ice Trident and brought it over Sedna (DE). Sedna (DE) instinctively turned and blocked Sedna's strike. Sedna (DE) unleashed an ice wind, pushing Sedna away. Sedna planted her Ice Trident into the ground, allowing her to hold her ground.
"Not bad, other me, but you'll need to be cutthroat like me if you want to survive," Sedna (DE) smiled coolly.
"You lecture me as if I haven't killed enemies before," Sedna replied.
"But have you had to kill someone dear to you?" Sedna (DE) asked as a tear fell from her eye.
Sedna gasped noticing the tear and what Sedna (DE) said. Before she can inquire, Sedna (DE) rushed Sedna and unleashed an icicle barrage. Sedna swung her trident and shattered the icicles in one strike. Sedna (DE) quickly got behind Sedna and blasted her rear with an ice blast. Sedna created an ice shield, stopping the Divine Enforcer's attack.
"Tell me what happened! Who did you have to kill?!" Sedna asked her.
Sedna (DE) frowned in response. "Defeat me and maybe I'll tell."
BlazeGallantmon and Agunimon double teamed against BlazeGallantmon (DE). The duo proved more than enough to force the Divine Enforcer to go all out. BlazeGallantmon (DE) covered himself in flames and unleashed a large phoenix construct. BlazeGallantmon and Agunimon both evaded the large phoenix.
"I didn't think I'd have to fight you two," BlazeGallantmon (DE) shrugged, slightly turning his view on Agunimon. "Takuya."
"Yeah? What do you want?!" Agunimon spat out vehemently. "You're not my Takato!"
BlazeGallantmon sighed. "That came out so wrong, Takuya."
"What?"
"When you say my Takato, you make it sound like we're a couple."
"Whoops, sorry, dude."
BlazeGallantmon (DE) chortled in a light-hearted manner. "Oh, how funny. I haven't chuckled like this in a long time. If only he were still around."
"Ok, you can quit being vague. I get it!" The Warrior of Fire retorted. "I'm supposed to be missing, dead, or something? That'd explain why fascist me isn't here, right?"
"Fascist? C'mon, let's not go throwing insults around," BlazeGallantmon (DE) nodded dismissively. "After what the Defiants have done to this world, we pushed forth to make this world a better place."
"Defiants?" BlazeGallantmon inquired. "Who are they?"
"Our last enemy and they caused the most personal damage to us," the Divine Enforcer answered plainly.
Marty got the same response from his Divine Enforcer self.
"The Defiants altered our view on humans in general," Marty (DE) added, encircling Marty. "You should understand better than anyone, Martin." He said with a straight face.
Marty replied. "Humans aren't perfect beings, but when we make mistakes, we own up to them."
"I thought that, too, until the Defiants killed my team."
"What?!"
Marty (DE) frowned. "Half of the entire West Coasters are gone. Even the woman I was due to wed, Andrea, died sacrificing herself for me from the Defiants attack. These Defiants were people we've sworn to protect, but despite all we've done to save this planet, they return the favor by exposing their hatred and bigotry for Metas!" He took out a katana and pointed it to Marty. "You wouldn't see it my way because you and your friends haven't experienced it yet."
Marty demanded. "Who'd go out of their way and amass people against us?!"
"Who else? I'll let you figure it out, but we're wasting time," Marty (DE) said as he charged at his counterpart. He brought down his katana, which Marty dodged and tried parrying from his hands. "Nice. I see your skills are up to par with my own, but I can't say for your friends."
"Let's stop this and make a compromise!"
"Everyone, steer away! I'm about to spread my power negation!" Marty (DE) called out to his colleagues.
Upon hearing this, the other Divine Enforcers quickly withdrew and moved away. Marty (DE) spread his power nullification aura, which spread over the vicinity. Unfortunately, the YYGDM heroes were within close proximity and neutralized.
"Ugh, damn! I should've seen this coming!" Brunhilde gritted, feeling her Valkyrie powers and strength being suppressed.
Just as Yusuke was about to fire his Spirit Wave at Yusuke (DE), he saw the energy in his hands vanish.
"Crap!"
BlazeGallantmon split up into Takato and Guilmon. Agunimon's flames vanished into thin air. Yugi, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Sedna both had their powers suppressed.
"Marty?! What's the idea?!" Agunimon spat out.
"It's not me! It's the other me!" Marty called out.
"Well, this isn't good!" Takato exclaimed.
"Take them down!" Moon (DE) commanded her colleagues.
The Divine Enforcers ma made short work of the powerless heroes and attacked them.
"Sedna, seal them!" Marty (DE) yelled out.
Almost hesitate to do as told, Sedna (DE) formed a giant ice dome that encapsulated over the YYGDM leaders. As they tried to break through, Sedna (DE) strengthened the ice dome's layers, making it impenetrable for the heroes to escape.
"Let us out!" Takato demanded, pounding on the ice wall in front of him.
"We can talk this over! Tell us what happened!" Sedna pleaded.
"Let them free!" Marty turned and faced Marty (DE).
Marty (DE) quickly gut punched and knocked out Marty. "Sorry, but we've got bigger plans ahead for us. Can't say the same for you. You'll understand."
The Divine Enforcers surrounded the ice dome and watched the YYGDM leaders succumbing to the subzero temperatures. Even Sedna, who'd normally endure, was subdued.
"Is that all of them?" Yusuke (DE) asked.
"All, including their Takuya," Takato (DE) replied, staring over Agunimon.
"Now let's bring them inside," Marty (DE) said, turning over to Legend HQ. "We have a special containment for them."
"Then let's take them in," Moon (DE) nodded.
Sedna (DE) gazed over Sedna. "Sorry, but don't take this personally." She watched Sedna fall unconscious.

Odaiba District/Highton View Terrance/Dimension: DF-616
Omega X's eyes shot wide open as Superman's fist went straight to his face.
Then, at a hair's breadth, Omega X used Instant Movement to evade getting his head punched off by Superman. Omega X reappeared behind the Man of Steel. Omega X quickly booted Superman before the Man of Steel could even react. The Ascendant sent Superman crashing through a nearby building.
(Cue OC ReMix #1389: Ecco: The Tides of Time (GG) - 'Fury of Medusa' [Vents of Medusa] by Sadorf)
"Whew! That was close!" Omega X wiped his brow, knowing full well of Superman's strength simply assessing him in battle. He turned to Pluto, John, Homura, and Spirit. "Hey!"
"Hey yourself, goldilocks!" John retorted, raising his hands against the Flash. "A little hand here would be nice, y'know!"
"No, Taichi. We can take care of this," Pluto said as she slammed her staff down.
As Flash zoomed toward them, Pluto and Homura both slowed the flow of time around them. The Flash's speed was slowed. John took the opportunity to clock Flash right in the face. As the time manipulators ceased their magic, Flash was knocked aside as John's punch took full effect.
"Thanks, my fair ladies," John winked to Pluto and Homura.
"Shouldn't time stoppage be taboo for you?" Homura asked Pluto.
"Not anymore. That taboo's been lifted long ago," she replied.
"Specter! I know you're here!" Spirit yelled out for her nemesis to come out. "We're not leaving until we find you! Get out here and face me! Leave these heroes alone!"
"I doubt she's just going to come out in the open. Hiding in the shadows has always been her preferred strategy," Alma said.
"No doubt that's how she's been able to get the drop on capturing these heroes," John added. "Because there's no bloody way she can capture Superman in a confrontation."
Suddenly, Superman fired heat vision blasts through the building he fell in. He stepped through a debris cloud and intently glared down Omega X. The Ascendant readily dropped into a fighting stance.
"You want another go at me? Fine, but I'm not holding back," Omega X walked over to confront Superman.
"Taichi, don't destroy him! He's been placed under control by the true enemy!" Pluto called to him. "We're going to search for the perpetrator behind this!"
"Hurry and find this enemy then," Omega X replied as he and Superman encircled one another. "I really don't want to use lethal force if I have to. Mind controlled or not, I'm not letting him wreck my town."
Superman snarled. "Let's go." His eyes burned bright red as he shot heat vision toward Omega X.
Omega X sidestepped the heat vision blast. Flying up to Superman, Omega X decked him in the face and sent him flying up. Omega X flew up and landed a flurry of punches. Superman crossed his arms, barely able to keep track of the Ascendant's blows. Superman spun around, turning himself into a tornado to knock Omega X away.
Superman jetted across and bypassed Omega X. The Man of Steel quickly slipped behind Omega X and prepared to clobber him with a punch. Omega X effortlessly phased out of Superman's reach, throwing off the Kryptonian.
Pow!
Omega X punched Superman's jaw, sending him flying far back. Omega X flew down and landed where Superman crashed. Having crashed into a big truck, Superman slowly stood as spectators looked on in awe.
Omega X beckoned Superman to follow him. Superman wiped blood from his side lip and accepted Omega X's invite.
"I don't want these people in the middle of our fight. A hero of truth and justice like you, even mind controlled, knows that better than anybody," Omega X said.
Superman frowned as he and Omega X flew off together.
"Whew, that's good they're drawing their fight elsewhere!" John said much relieved. "Now we can focus primarily on finding Specter, Spirit!"
"Yes, but…" Spirit paused as Alma's eyes flashed. "She's near, isn't she?"
"Yes, Specter's on the move!" Alma said, hopping off Spirit's shoulder. She quickly spotted a shadowed figure sprinting out of an alleyway. "There!"
"SPECTER!" Sailor Spirit shouted and pursued the dark traveler.
"Wait, Spirit!" Homura called out.
"Homura!" Madoka called to her friend. "You go on without me! I'll try and handle Wonder Woman here!"
"Be careful, Madoka," nodded the dark-haired time traveler.
"Follow Spirit and Specter!" Pluto commanded.
With that, Pluto, John, and Homura went for Spirit's direction. They eventually caught up and helped Spirit corner Specter, who hopped over a fence.
"You're not getting far!" Spirit shouted. She acrobatically jumped over the fence with Alma and sprinted after Specter.
Scowling, Specter caught Spirit closing in on her.
"You continue to be so persistent, Spirit! Just wait when I'm finally done with you!" Specter sneered. She looked up and saw a billboard sign hanging on a building. "This will get you off!" She fired a dark blast at the sign, knocking it off some hinges and causing it to fall in between her and Spirit.
"Damn!" Spirit cursed as the billboard blocked her way.
"Don't let her get away, Spirit!" Alma called out.
Nodding, Spirit launched a white beam that cut a dividing path through the large sign. She hastily raced ahead to catch up to Specter.
As Spirit arrived near the Odaiba Ferris Wheel, a dark beam exploded behind her. She jumped up and ran away from more dark blasts heading her way. Spirit barrel-rolled away, avoiding more dark blasts. She looked up and saw Specter landing in front of her.
"You want me, dear Spirit? Well, here's your chance!" Specter shouted as she charged Spirit.
Spirit and Specter went head-to-head. Spirit kicked Specter back and rushed her. Spirit and Specter traded quick punches and kicks. Spirit and Specter's feet connected at the same time, causing them both to go flying back.
"You best give up, Specter!" Spirit demanded.
"You're sounding a lot more confident now that you have new friends," Specter smirked devilishly. She ran up to fight Spirit again, but Spirit sidestepped her and snatched a few Hero Keys from her nemesis' belt. "Hey, give those back! They're mine!"
"These heroes aren't your tools to use!" Spirit chided her.
"Feh, like that matters. I have more where they came from," Specter rebuked.
Suddenly, Pluto, John, Homura, and Alma arrived on the scene. They saw Spirit and Specter facing each other down.
"Spirit, you've got her!" Alma called out.
"Or, have you?" chortled Specter.
Just then, a ball of green light crashed into the bay, distracting everyone. Specter took advantage of this distraction and formed a black airboard. She quickly got on and flew away.
"You're not getting away!" Spirit called out. "Alma! Airboard mode!"
With that, Alma vanished in a veil of smoke and transformed into a white airboard. Spirit got on the Alma board and flew off after her nemesis.
Emerging from the water was Green Lantern, who was quickly beaten by Metalla X. Metalla X descended near the bay and watched Green Lantern crawl on the bay.
"Did you really think those green shields of yours could handle my blasts?" Metalla X scoffed over Green Lantern. "What a disappointment you turned out to be."
Green Lantern tried to activate his ring, but its power expended.
"What did I tell you?" Metalla X shrugged. He veered to where Pluto and the others were. "Huh? What are you all doing here?"
"To apprehend the one who summoned the Justice League in your world," John answered. "Blimey, just how many of you blonde-haired ruffians are there?"
"You should be less worried about how many of us ruffians there are and more concerned catching the one who's causing this mess," Metalla X chastised him.
"We need to ensure the Justice League are all freed from Specter's control," Homura stated. "Spirit said we can break Specter's spell if he destroys the Hero Keys that contained them."
"We have one so far," Pluto noted Green Lantern laying on the bay. "We need the others."
"Did you say you needed more?" Called a voice.
The group turned around as Madoka, Shu, and Gai came with their catches. Madoka used a magic seal to contain Wonder Woman, Batman, and Green Arrow in a bubble. The three defeated League members were set down next to Green Lantern.
"Last I counted there's still four of them left," Shu said.
"Yeah, Superman, the Martian, Hawkgirl, and Supergirl," Gai confirmed.
Madoka and Homura hugged each other.
"Wonder Woman was tough, but I was able to contain her," Madoka said with a smile.
Homura patted Madoka's head. "I knew you could do it, Madoka."
"Feh, Taichi just has to hog Superman to himself, doesn't he?" Metalla X scoffed irritably.
"Why are you complaining? This isn't a competition," John remarked.
"I realize that… I just don't want him clowning around," Metalla X grumbled. "The hell, are you waiting for, Tai? Get it over with."
"Madoka, could you possibly remove Specter's dark spell on these heroes?" Pluto asked the pink-haired Puella.
"Hmm, I can give it a go," Madoka replied. She cast a pink light that covered the four League members. She concentrated and removed the magical impurities that corrupted the heroes.
"It's working!" Homura said elatedly.
(End theme)
As they came to, Batman, John Stewart, Wonder Woman, and Green Arrow were astonished by the group's presence.
"Where are we?" Green Lantern groggily asked while his mind was still foggy over the past events.
Wonder Woman turned to Madoka and Homura. "Are we in Metropolis?"
"Nope, miss, you're in Tokyo in a different dimension," Madoka answered happily.
"A different dimension? We're not in our own world?" Green Arrow asked. "Heh, that explains a lot and why we haven't seen you back home."
"It's nothing unusual, after all, we recently had two visitors from another dimension arrive unexpectedly in our world," Batman recalled the events of ChaosMillenniummon's multi-dimensional incursion that split the YYGDM heroes up briefly.
"Yes, I do remember our friends Sailor Mars and Hiei, I recall?" Diana said, eyeing Sailor Pluto, Homura, and Homura. "I take it these are friends of theirs?"
Pluto nodded. "Indeed, they haven't forgotten you."
"So, why are we here? The last I recall was helping Superman avert some Parademon invasion and then my mind went blank," Green Lantern said.
"We all suffered similar mind blackouts and are just now recalling our last instances," Batman said.
"You were all attacked, captured by Sailor Specter's Hero Keys, and turned into mind-controlled slaves to do her bidding," Homura explained to them.
"Slaves? Don't tell us she had us do some kinky stuff without us knowing?" Green Arrow inquired, to which earned him glares from his League colleagues. "What did I say?"
"Watch what you say around young ladies," Wonder Woman said, pointing to Madoka and Homura.
"It's quite all right. I'm much wiser and older than I look," Homura said.
"Yeah, we're teens now," Madoka nodded.
"Speaking of Superman, where are he and the others?" Green Lantern asked, noticing the missing League members. "Shayera? Where's Shayera?!"
"J'onn and Supergirl are missing, too!" Wonder Woman said.
Batman tried his communicator to reach the other League members. "Of course they wouldn't answer me if they're in the middle of fighting your friends. And they're likely still under mind control."
"Then, we need to find the others," Shu said. "Gai, you and I can look for Dimitri. He was still fighting Hawkgirl last I checked."
"Then, I'll go with you two," Green Lantern insisted. "Though, my ring's juice ran out. I'll try catching up."
"Sure, just keep up," Gai said.
"I'll go, too," Batman offered.
"I'm going for Tai," Metalla X said. "And just me alone. I need to make sure he brings Superman in one piece."
"The rest of us will go check on Dimitri and Athena," Madoka said. "Pluto and John, you two go get Athena and help her stop Supergirl. Homura, you and I are going to Kensuke to stop J'onn."
"Very well," Homura said, summoning her magical guns.
"Guess I'll tag with you two," Green Arrow said to Madoka and Homura.
"What about Spirit?" John asked.
"We can leave her with Specter using her own devices," Pluto stated. "Now let's go retrieve the other League members."
Wasting no time, Metalla X flew off to find Omega X and Superman.
"That guy sure wasn't in a hurry," Green Lantern said. "He thinks he can handle Superman? Good luck to that guy."
"I wouldn't say that. That man fought and beat your arse handily," John revealed, to which baffled the Green Lantern. "Yeah? Cat got your tongue? Oh wait, I just yanked it out."
"Well, if he defeated me easily, then he might have a chance," Green Lantern admitted.
"Come on, we have heroes we need to save!" Madoka rallied everyone. "Ready, Homura?"
The dark-haired time traveler nodded. "Lead the way, Madoka."

Hawkgirl swung her mace at Angemon X, but the Ascendant swerved around her. He then disarmed Shayera and chopped her in the back of the neck. Having knocking out Hawkgirl, Angemon X caught her.
He looked ahead to see Gai, Shu, Batman, and Green Lantern heading for him. Green Lantern hurried over to retrieve Hawkgirl from Angemon X. Green Lantern sighed in relief knowing Hawkgirl was merely knocked out.
"Did she give you trouble, Dimitri?" Shu asked him.
"Her mace kinda hurt, but I held back as much as I could," Angemon X said.
"At least we can save her along with the others, Lantern," Batman said, checking over Hawkgirl's condition.
"Well, that's one other League member we've found," Gai added.

Despite his efforts, Martian Manhunter was easily defeated by Dramon X. Like Angemon X, Dramon X held back from dealing serious injury to J'onn. However, that didn't stop Kensuke from dealing pain to the Martian.
Dramon X looked up as Wonder Woman, Madoka, Homura, and Green Arrow arrive in the same vicinity.
"J'onn!" Wonder Woman called out as she landed next to the fallen Martian.
"I take it the other League members are themselves again?" Dramon X asked the magical girls.
"Indeed, Madoka can use her healing magic on the Martian," Homura said, letting Madoka go over to treat J'onn and remove the impurities from him.
Wonder Woman watched as the Martian stirred, "J'onn?"
"He'll be ok now," Madoka reassured the Amazon princess.
Green Arrow rubbed his chin. "Ah, that's how you healed us. Interesting."
"That just leaves Superman, Supergirl, and The Flash, wherever they are," Wonder Woman said.
"Well, I know Tai's handling Superman," Dramon X replied. "Don't know where Flash could be. But, my niece, Athena, is fighting Supergirl!" He recalled.
Xxxxx
Supergirl flew around Athena and fired a heat vision beam. Athena barely swerved around the beam. The Kryptonian quickly propelled and slammed Athena into a wall. As Athena stirred, Supergirl threw a punch. Athena put her hands out, catching Supergirl's fist.
"Andromedamon now!" Athena beckoned her Digimon.
Andromedamon swiftly came up behind Supergirl. The Digimon tossed her chains, seizing Supergirl by her arm. Andromedamon flung Supergirl around and tossed her away. Athena propelled into the air and flew over Supergirl. She spun around and kicked Supergirl in the chest, sending her falling to the ground.
xxxxx
Suddenly, Supergirl crashed into the ground several blocks from Madoka's group.
"What was that?!" Madoka shrieked.
"Why don't we find out?" Homura said.
The group raced over (with Wonder Woman carrying J'onn) toward the site of the crash. They saw Supergirl sitting up and stirring. Dramon X looked up as Athena and Andromedamon descended toward them.
"Uncle Ken! We stopped Supergirl!" Athena waved to Dramon X.
"Way to go, Athena," Dramon X nodded in approval. "I knew you could do it." As he patted Athena's head, he eyed Supergirl. "Bet she gave you a tough fight, huh?"
"Yeah, she's strong like me," Athena said.
Andromedamon interjected. "She was a tough opponent for us both, but we worked together and overwhelmed Supergirl."
"This little kid fought Kara and won? Well, I'll be Batman's drinking buddy," Green Arrow balked at the notion of Athena being strong enough to fight Supergirl.
"Well, I didn't win alone," Athena said, smiling to Andromedamon.
Madoka crouched over and used her magic to heal Supergirl. Supergirl awoke as Specter's dark power was purged from her.
"Ugh, where am I?" Supergirl muttered, groaning and holding her head.
"Welcome back, sleeping beauty," Green Arrow joked.
"You were under enemy control like the rest of us, Supergirl," Wonder Woman stated.
Supergirl blinked twice. "Huh? I don't even remember that."
"That's because your minds went blank," Sailor Pluto spoke up as she and John arrived to check on the group. "Athena, you've certainly grown in strength, dear child."
"And you said Athena could potentially get stronger, Pluto?" John asked the Time Guardian.
"Considering Sedna and Dimitri are her parents, she plenty of room to grow in strength," Pluto explained.
"I'll be damned," John was flabbergasted by Athena's Ascendant prowess.
"Is there room for another?!" Called Green Lantern, who came toward them carrying Hawkgirl. He was also joined by Angemon X, Gai, Shu, and Batman.
"They've managed to secure Hawkgirl, thank Hera," Wonder Woman sighed with relief.
"Bring her over here. I'll heal her," Madoka offered as the Green Lantern placed Hawkgirl down.
As Madoka healed Hawkgirl, Dramon X and Angemon X sensed Omega X's power emanating from far away.
"No surprise Tai's handling Superman," Dramon X muttered.
"Uncle Tai will win!" Athena said with cheery enthusiasm. "Superman is good, but Omega X can take him!"
"For Tai's sake, I hope so," Angemon X was won over by his future daughter's optimism. "I also sense father's on his way over to see Tai gets the job done."
"Madoka, we'll to go to where Taichi is fighting Superman," Pluto advised the Puella magical girl.
"Right, let's hurry and go over!" Madoka said.

(Cue Morganstudios - Battle of the Supers (Goku vs Superman Theme))
Metalla X landed on a billboard. He came just in time to watch Omega X engage Superman. He sensed shockwaves emanate from Omega X and Superman's physical blows.
Omega X and Superman collided, elbow to elbow. The Ascendant powered up and unleashed an aura, pushing Superman away. Superman flew at Omega X and punched at him. Omega X used Instant Movement to evade Superman. Omega X reappeared on Superman's left and kicked him away. Superman grabbed Omega X's foot and tossed him away. Omega X landed on a rooftop and watched Superman diving at him.
Omega X raised both hands and flung Dual Terra Forces at Superman. Superman swerved around one and destroyed the other with heat vision. Omega X phased right in front of Superman and quickly fired a Super Tsunami Wave. Catching Superman with the blast, Omega X quickly felled Superman.
Metalla X headed over to Omega X and scanned Superman's fallen form. The Ascendants noticed Pluto's group reached the Flash. Madoka already finished healing him.
"What's Madoka doing?" Omega X asked Metalla X.
"Healing them and removing the evil power compelling them," Metalla X plainly answered him.
"I see. I guess me dragging my fight out with Superman worked out in the end. At least you got his friends off my back," Omega X landed beside Superman. "I tried hard not to go all out, but there were times this guy just wouldn't let up."
"Well, he is Superman," Metalla X reminded him.
"Taichi! Has Superman being subdued?!" Pluto called to the Ascendant.
"If so, bring him down! Madoka can treat him!" John said.
As he picked Superman on his back, Omega X waved. "Special delivery on the way!"
Dramon X noted Omega X carrying Superman. "It's a good thing these two didn't tear up the city."
"What if it was you fighting Superman?" Angemon X asked his brother-in-law.
"I… Well, I couldn't tell you."
"If Uncle Tai could win, then so could you, Uncle Ken!" Athena chirped, earning her a head pat from Dramon X.
"Ok, Madoka! Let's give Superman a good healing treatment!" Omega X beckoned the pink-haired Puella over.
"Ready!" Madoka nodded.
xxxxx
Meanwhile, Spirit and Alma caught up with Specter. They blasted Specter's airboard, causing her to crash on a rooftop. Specter landed on her feet and pulled out a few Hero Keys. Spirit landed with Alma and took out the Hero Keys she took from Specter.
"Let's see who's quicker on the draw, shall we?" Specter challenged her.
With that, Specter and Spirit simultaneously opened up a Hero Key. Specter summoned the Green Ranger. Spirit summoned Samurai Jack.
"Well, didn't expect you'd steal him from me!" Specter sneered.
The lone samurai surveyed his new surroundings, which were completely alien to him.
"Where am I?" Jack asked, scanning around.
"Spirit, I'll have you and the samurai begging for mercy!" Specter declared. "Go, my Green Ranger! Finish them!"
Heeding the evil Senshi's command, the Green Ranger took out his Dragon Flute and dashed at them. Jack readied his blade and countered Green Ranger's attack.
"I'm sorry to leave you with him, but don't worry I'll bring you back to your world!" Spirit called as she ran at Specter.
"Damn it! You won't catch me!" Specter hissed, taking out three more Hero Keys. She summoned Wolfmon, Fairymon, and Chakkoumon.
Spirit gasped upon realizing these were heroes from the YYGDM-01 dimension. Nonetheless, she wasn't planning to hold back. She jumped over the three Legendary Warriors and charged at Specter. Wolfmon blasted Spirit's back with a Howling Laser. Spirit screamed and fell to the ground. Fairymon followed up blowing her away with Hurricane Wave.
As Spirit hit a wall, Chakkoumon expelled his ice breath on her. Spirit barely dodged the frozen air that would've turned her into an ice sculpture.
"That's it, Legendary Warriors! Now finish her!" Specter commanded.
With that, Wolfmon pulled out his laser saber. Fairymon and Chakkoumon prepped their next attacks. As Specter prepared to escape, Alma hopped on her arm and bit her.
"Augh! Stupid ferret!" Angrily hissed Specter, who shook Alma off her arm.
Spirit jumped up and defended herself from the Legendary Warrior trio. She ducked Wolfmon's laser sword, kicked Fairymon back, and deflected Chakkoumon's ice with a beam. Wolfmon quickly Fusion Evolved into Beowulfmon and attacked her with his greatsword, Beo Saber. Spirit narrowly dodged Beowulfmon's strike. She unleashed a white beam that Beowulfmon blocked with his sword.
Jack and Green Ranger clashed swords. Green Ranger fired a beam through his Dragon Flute, but Jack sidestepped it. Jack rushed at Green Ranger and swung his katana. Green Ranger backflipped into the air, leaving himself open for Jack to knock away with his sword. Green Ranger fell hard from Jack's attack.
As the Legendary Warriors cornered Spirit, Specter confronted her.
"Just give up, I've got you outnumbered," Specter smirked evilly.
Suddenly, Specter noticed a few Hero Keys on her belt shatter into pieces. They were the Hero Keys that contained the Justice League members.
No! Don't tell me they've found a way to break control of my slaves! Specter thought frantically.
Spirit noticed Specter's dismay and took advantage of another Hero Key. To her surprise, she summoned Super Smash Bros stars Super Mario, Link, and Samus Aran.
"Mamma-Mia!" Mario howled, pumping a fist in the air.
Link readily drew out his Master Sword and faced down Beowulfmon.
Samus readied her arm cannon and pointed it at Fairymon.
"Well, what a lucky draw I made," Spirit smirked. "But unlike you Specter, these heroes will fit of their own free will!"
Specter scowled and backed away. "Don't get too cocky. I have more Hero Keys to use where that came from!" She beckoned the Legendary Warrior trio to fight the SSB heroes.
Super Mario jumped over Chakkoumon and flung a fireball, roasting the ice bear's buttocks. Samus fired blasts at Fairymon. Link and Beowulfmon clashed swords.
Jack tried to intercept Specter from leaving, but Green Ranger stopped the lone samurai. Jack and Green Ranger continued their duel.
I still have Superman's Hero Key. I need to call him back! Specter activated the Superman Hero Key.
Alma attempted to jump at Specter's face again, but the evil Senshi blasted her down. Spirit dove in and caught Alma.
"Man of Steel, return to me!" Specter beckoned.

Before Madoka could finish healing Superman, the Kryptonian vanished.
"Superman!" The League yelled out in shock.
"Clark!" Supergirl cried out.
"What the hell just happened?! Where did he go?!" Shu exclaimed.
"Looks like Specter called him back," John speculated. "She must've now realized we freed Superman's friends."
"She didn't want to take the chance of losing the League's best hand," Pluto stated.
Omega X probed Superman's location and pointed northwest. "Superman went that way and then his energy just went poof. Like he was never even here!"
"Well, that's where we'll be going," Batman said.
"Y'all better get close to me," Omega X stated. "I can teleport us there."
"Wait, you can teleport?" Green Arrow inquired. "You a magician?"
"Nah, it's a technique called Instant Movement."
"Instant Tran-what?"
"Forget it, Oliver," Batman sighed. "Just get us where we need to be."
"That might be where we'll find Spirit and Specter," Homura said.
"Ok, then huddle close to me, everyone!" Omega X said as his friends, Pluto's group, and the League amassed behind him. Then, he teleported them to Spirit and Specter's current location.

(Cue Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix - The 13th Reflection)
"Superman is mine again!" Specter laughed.
Spirit lunged at Specter and kicked her back. Specter nearly fell off the edge of the roof. Specter prepared another Hero Key but stopped as soon as Omega X and company teleported in.
"Damn, not good," grumbled Specter.
"Spirit, are you ok?!" John called out to her.
"Yes, and even better you brought along everyone else!"
Pluto unleashed Dead Scream at Specter, who dodged the Time Guardian's attack. Specter pulled out another Hero Key.
"So you want to play it like that? How's this?!" Specter summoned Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. "Heh, would you attack your own friends?"
"Uranus! Neptune!" Pluto called out to her colleagues.
Sailor Uranus ran at Pluto with her Space Sword. Homura fired magical bullets, stopping Uranus in her tracks. Sailor Neptune unleashed Deep Submerge, knocking away Pluto and Homura.
"Excellent! I'll have you two now!" Specter threw Hero Keys toward Pluto and Homura.
Suddenly, Madoka fired magic arrows that destroyed the two Hero Keys.
"You're not capturing anyone anymore!" Madoka chided Specter.
"Damn you!" Specter howled as she activated three more Hero Keys. She summoned Red Ranger, Naruto Uzumaki, and to Pluto's surprise, Sora of Kingdom Hearts.
"No, you captured Sora?!" Pluto was flabbergasted by this reveal.
Specter beckoned her three slaves. "Go and intercede them, my slaves!"
Red Ranger, Naruto, and Sora rushed Pluto, Homura, and Madoka. John tackled Red Ranger and pushed him away. Naruto readied a Double Rasengan on Madoka and Homura. Sora confronted Pluto.
"I can't believe she captured you, Sora," Pluto muttered, readying her Garnet Staff.
Sora brandished his Keyblade and attacked Pluto. Not recognizing her face, he mercilessly attacked Pluto. Pluto kept up with Sora and blocked his Keyblade strikes.
"Don't think you'll get away!" Omega X yelled at Specter, who tried to make a hasty retreat. He flew over to stop her.
As he reached for specter, a red blur cut him off from her. He jumped back and saw the Flash zoom around him.
"Flash!" Green Lantern barked.
"He's still under Specter's control!" Wonder Woman called out.
The Flash landed quick consecutive blows all over Omega X. Omega X folded his arms, guarding himself against Flash's blows. As Flash zoomed right behind Omega X, the Ascendant phased out of the way. Omega X reappeared behind Flash and tried to grab him, but Flash moved out of his reach.
"You shouldn't have trouble catching him!" Metalla X berated Omega X. He flew down and fired a blast near the Flash, forcing Wally to evade.
Omega X used Instant Movement to get in front of Flash and gut punch him.
"Ugh, that does it!" Specter scowled as she took out three Hero Keys. "Hey, you two golden-haired goons! How's this for a surprise?" She activated the Hero Keys, releasing two familiar faces that shocked Omega X and Metalla X.
"No way! You didn't…!" Omega X was aghast.
"Now you've made this personal, bitch!" Metalla X spat out.
Celesta X and WarAngemon emerged as Specter's latest captures. Celesta X faced off with Omega X. WarAngemon stood off against Metalla X.
"TK!" Angemon X shouted in horror. He shot a fierce and angry glare toward Specter. "You're not getting away with this!" He drew out his sword and prepared to slice her, but WarAngemon swiftly got in his path. "No, TK! She has you under control! We're family!"
Metalla X prepared to fire a blast at Specter, but Sailor Uranus threw her Space Sword in his way. Metalla X backhanded the Space Sword and growled.
"Stay out of this!" Metalla X spat out at Uranus.
"Why would she stop? She's under my control just like your friend over here," Specter smirked evilly, referring to WarAngemon becoming her slave.
Celesta X lunged forward and attacked Omega X. Omega X quickly parried his sister's fierce chops.
"Kari! Snap out of it! You're under her control!" Omega X tried reasoning with her.
"Uncle Ken! We can't let this go on!" Athena said.
Heeding Athena's pleas, Dramon X turned and faced Specter's way. Before he could even reach her, Specter pulled out more Hero Keys. This time she summoned Natsu Dragneel and Erza Scarlet. The Fairy Tail duo confronted Dramon X.
"Wish I didn't have to fight any heroes, but you're getting in the way," Dramon X sighed regretfully.
Just then, from out of Dramon X's B.A.X. Digivice, two Digimon emerged: CyberBeelzemon and Titaniamon. The latter had an uncanny resemblance Erza Scarlet.
"Want us to deal with these two?" CyberBeelzemon asked Dramon X. He faced off with Natsu.
Titaniamon gasped upon meeting Erza Scarlet. "It's as if I'm staring at a mirror." She and Erza both drew out their swords at the same time.
As CyberBeelzemon and Titaniamon dealt with Natsu and Erza, Dramon X headed for Specter, but the villainess summoned Superman again.
"Bring it!" Dramon X flew at Superman, who met him on a head-on collision course. Both punched each other. It was Dramon X who gained an advantage and knocked Superman away.
The other League members attempted to retrieve Superman, but the Man of Steel flew back at Dramon X. Superman unloaded on Dramon X, hitting him with earth shattering blows. Dramon X fired back with a Ryuken Wave, driving Superman back.
Superman kept coming for Dramon X.
"Uncle Ken!" Athena cheered him on. She and Andromedamon were immediately confronted by Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune.
Amidst the chaos, Shu and Gai bypassed everyone to get to Specter. Specter unlocked two more Hero Keys, releasing Noctis from Final Fantasy XV. Shu and Gai stood their ground as Noctis relentlessly attacked them.
"Ohohoh, now this is what I call entertainment! Don't you agree, Spirit?!" Specter laughed in a haughty manner. She spotted Spirit getting up and meeting her eye to eye. "Still have some fight left? Well, I can oblige you with another duel. Which Hero Key would you like to use now?"
Both Spirit and Specter threw down their next Hero Keys.
Spirit summoned the Five Pillars from My-Otome: Sara Gallagher, Natsuki Kruger, Shizuru Viola, Juliet Nao Zhang, and Mahya Blythe.
Specter smirked darkly. "Ah, you summoned the Otomes? Well, look who I summoned?"
Spirit balked at the sight of Sailor Saturn, who brandished her Silence Glaive.
"Your Otomes are strong, but I've got a world destroyer on my side," Specter dropped a thumbs down. "Check mate!"
Sailor Saturn flew at the Otomes and mercilessly attacked them with her Silence Glaive. The Otomes put up as much as a fight as they could, but Saturn proved too much for them. Spirit watched as Saturn quickly dropped Juliet and Mahya with ease.
"Wish to surrender now, Spirit?" Specter asked.
"Never not as long as there's still breath in my body!"
"Knew you'd say that. Such a shame, but no worries you'll join your fellow Zodiac sisters soon," she said with a fiendish grin while brandishing a dagger.
Spirit dropped into a fighting stance. "I'll make sure they rest peacefully knowing I've defeated you!" She dashed at Specter and engaged her again. She dodged a dagger strike and jumped up kicking the blade out of her nemesis' hands. "See? I'm not finished yet!"
"We'll see!" snarled Specter.

Other World/X's Planet
Having witnessed the insane developments unfold, Max Kamiya gathered the D3s. He informed them about Sailor Specter and her shenanigans. When they learned a few of their own allies got captured by her Hero Keys, they decided now was time to lend Omega X and the others the help they may need.
"That bitch captured TK and Kari!" Tike cursed.
"Her ass is so dead!" Kara added with anger.
"Well, you've got a chance to get your hands on Specter, you two," Max said, putting on his wristbands.
"And there's no telling how many more heroes Specter has yet to release. Things are getting hectic down there," Sam stated.
"We're ready to go, Max," Keke nodded to him.
"All right, let's move, D3s!" Max declared.

Maximum Security Containment/Legend HQ/Dimension: YYGDM-DE
As she finally came to, Moon awoke at the same time as the others. Sedna, Yusuke, Takato, Guilmon, Brunhilde, and Marty banged on a barrier. The YYGDM leaders were sealed in an energy dome and their powers still suppressed.
Marty (DE) stood in front of the barrier. "Sorry we had to take extreme measures, but we can't take any chances letting you go confuse the masses. They've already grown accustomed to fear and obey us."
"You've struck fear in the hearts and minds of the people you've protected! They looked up to you!" Yugi angrily rebuked. "Now you've become as bad as the villains you've defeated!"
"Yugi Muto, you and I know the world isn't as black and white as people think," Marty (DE) said as the other Divine Enforcers entered the room. "Yusuke, you'd know that better than anyone, am I right?"
"Yeah, I know," Yusuke recalled his conflicts with Toguro, Sensui, Yomi, and Rio's brother, Kyo.
"Do you?" Yusuke (DE) interjected. "Seems like you've forgotten, Yusuke."
"In order to combat our enemies, we've chosen to stoop to their levels," Takato (DE) said. "You can thank the humans who we've sworn to protect. Half of them opted to join a man who strongly opposed Metas. These defiant masses formed into a greater army called the Defiants and were turned loose against us."
"Turned loose to destroy us! They hit us when we least expected it!" Yugi (DE) shouted. "We suffered severe casualties! I lost some of my friends to the Defiants!"
"It was because of the Defiants, I lost my brother, Dimitri, and Sailor Orcus!" Sedna (DE) revealed, to the shock of Sedna.
"What? That can't be true! So, that's who you meant by 'loved ones'?" Sedna asked her.
"Dimitri and Orcus were both killed in the war against some Defiants," Sedna (DE) stated as she started tearing up. "Then, brother lost it… went on a rampage and tore through the majority of the Defiants' rankings. But, as a result, he lost his humanity... " She folded her arms around her body and shuddered, recalling the terrifying events. "It finally took me to calm him down, but he told me to kill him… I… I didn't want to do it. Ken asked me to kill him so he doesn't completely lose himself."
Sedna clamped her mouth and cried. "No…"
Sedna (DE) nodded, crying. "I gave him a mercy killing. I'm sure your Ken has asked you to commit to that action should his humanity ever cease and become a monster."
"Yes…"
"Sedna, you can leave now," Moon (DE) instructed her. "We're Divine Enforcers now. Understand to maintain our strong image, we can't exhibit any weak emotions."
Moon and Sedna watched Sedna (DE) walk out of the security room.
"Wait!" Sedna called for her.
"What's the big idea?!" Moon turned, fiercely glaring at Moon (DE), who seemed apathetic over Sedna (DE)'s an overly emotional scene. "How can you just dismiss her for showing any emotion?! Remembering her loved ones resonated with her!"
"Us Divine Enforcers aren't supposed to let personal attachments get in the way of getting the job done," Brunhilde (DE) scoffed as she walked up and slammed the barrier, causing Moon to flinch.
"Hey, back off, bitch!" Brunhilde got up in her counterpart's face. If it weren't for the barrier separating them, Brunhilde wished she could strangle her Divine Enforcer self. "What about your attachments?! I bet Kouichi and Philippe would approve of this!"
Brunhilde (DE) scowled and turned away, closing her eyes. "They're both dead. Himura, too. Most of my Valkyrie teammates are gone, too."
"No…" Brunhilde was aghast at this shocking revelation. "So, another me ends up losing everything?"
"But those losses made you stronger, Brunhilde. Don't forget that," Marty (DE) reminded her.
"Bullshit! Having any personal attachments doesn't make you weak!" Brunhilde chided them. "All I see are leaders who're shells of their former selves!"
Yugi pointed at the Divine Enforcers. "You've all lost the qualities that made you inspirational figures to begin with!"
"So to ensure better security, you've decided to enact police state rules?! How is that any better?!" Agunimon spat out.
"To ensure no villains should rise to harm the masses," Takato (DE) said. "And so far, we've done a damn good job, haven't we?" He got nods of approval from his colleagues.
"Y'all are a bunch of Yes-Men," Yusuke snidely remarked. "Never thought I'd ever see myself become such a kiss-ass. Man how I've fallen from grace."
"Heh, King Koenma said I've been doing a pretty good job handling the borders between here and the Makai," grinned Yusuke (DE).
"Seriously, King Koenma?" Yusuke blinked thrice. "Now I know we're not the same guy!"
"That's because they're technically us, but not really us," Marty added. "It's the multiverse theory at play here."
"Pretty much, I should know," Sedna referred to her dimension crossing job.
"And Kaiba's been ok with funding projects for these tyrannical endeavors?!" Yugi asked them.
"Why yes, he willingly continued to help fund our projects," Yugi (DE) answered plainly. "Kaiba and I hardly see eye-to-eye on subject matters, but this occasion he felt it necessary to enhance Legend HQ's defenses and built rehabilitation centers for deviants, including any Defiant remnants."
"That can't be…" Agunimon muttered.
"But he mostly did it so he ensures no one dies like Lyn, but most importantly make sure we don't lose Takuya from the jaws of injustice," Moon (DE) revealed.
"So, I died in this dimension?" Agunimon scowled. "Do I dare ask how my counterpart died? Let me guess, he was a tyrant before he got killed?"
"No, he died before we established the Divine Enforcer order," Takato (DE) said. "He died protecting me when the Defiants' leader tried to kill me! I'll never forget that moment… he died in my arms. I took it hard… no, we took it hard." He said with fury burning in his eyes. "In our Takuya's honor, we had a statue built for him to commemorate his noble sacrifice."
"I doubt the other me asked for y'all to turn into dictatorial jerks and enforce police state rules on the world!" Agunimon protested, punching the barrier without success.
"We want to make the world a better place," Moon (DE) stated, taken aback by Agunimon's persistence. "He'd be glad to see we're enacting justice on the evils that still plague this world!"
"No, he's probably rolling in his grave knowing you've become just as bad as the villains!" The Warrior of Fire attempted to call on his fire but to no avail.
Marty (DE) used his nullification powers to maintain the barrier.
(Cue Batman: Arkham City - Track 04 - Have You Got My Location)
"Continue to resist us and you won't be leaving here anytime," Marty (DE) chided Agunimon.
"That's quite enough," Moon (DE) beckoned Marty off. She approached Agunimon and sadly looked at him. "You'd stand against our core beliefs?"
"Yeah, because they're wrong. This isn't how we do things back home."
"Have it your way," the Neo-Crystal Tokyo ruler turned away, heading over to her colleagues. She turned and faced Moon. "I see you're still soft. I used to be just like you. Then, that man changed everything. He nearly took my husband and child from me. He took Takuya from us. He threatened to do harm to my family. Cain Bearer pushed me. He pushed me to who I've become today." With a wave of her hand, her black-and-red form fitting outfit turned into a white dress. A crown adorned her head. Her blue eyes became frigid cold. "I rule as Neo-Queen Serenity, who you'll eventually become, Usagi Tsukino."
Moon frowned. "I know that…"
"But you thought you'd become a benevolent queen living in a utopian bubble. That's a fantasy."
"I know I can't have a utopia, but I'll work to make the world a better place."
Moon (DE) coldly smirked. "Good luck with that. You still think like a naive child, Usagi. To achieve my utopia, order has to be enacted and oppressors had to be removed. The Defiants opened our eyes to the cruel reality of human nature. There are many who are unwilling to listen to reason. They choose to resist our order."
"That's not what I want! I… I…"
"Yes?" Moon (DE) waited for a response.
"I want there to be peace. It won't be easy, but I know I have friends here who'll help me achieve it. And we'll do it through goodwill. Not through this act of tyranny. This is not what I stand for."
"You don't have it in you, Usagi Tsukino. Would you be willing to kill a human? Even someone like Cain Bearer."
"But he hasn't done anything to us in our world!"
"Not yet, but do take caution," Moon (DE) lectured her. She veered over to Sedna. "And I'm sure you're aware of Zagato's warning. The Defiant war would end up being a conflict not with supernatural or otherworldly beings. The Defiants will be the groups of humans who've grown disenfranchised with us powered beings." She threw her hands in the air while a silver glow formed over her. "These Defiants choose to reject us. They dealt us a major blow and cost us loved ones, but we stand here today to usher forth in a new order. A divine order. And here we stand before you, the Divine Enforcers."
Brunhilde (DE) added as she taunted Moon. "And at least our Usagi is willing to take the necessary actions to accomplish our mission goal. You're still hanging onto your optimistic beliefs. It's time you get with the times!"
Yugi (DE) chided his counterpart. "And you're going to continue to share her beliefs? What would Atem think about this?"
"He'd say you're all out of your damn minds!" Yugi snapped.
"How did you find out about our world and about us?" Takato asked.
"We've been observing you all for quite some time," Marty (DE) revealed. "With the assistance of Sedna's dimension crossover powers, we've been able to conjure visuals of other universes, primarily worlds parallel to ours. It was only months ago we monitored you and your friends scouring other worlds purging some anomalous threats. Whatever this is, we've never had to deal with this."
"Through our observations, we saw most of you were still playing the passive and law-abiding roles you've been so accustomed to. You've only killed when necessary and only against non-humans. So, you haven't reached our points yet," Takato (DE) said.
"I came pretty damn close to killing a few myself," Yusuke retorted.
"But you never did, Yusuke," Yusuke (DE) reminded him. "Kurama and Hiei, on the other hand, have. Do you know what Hiei told me when I had to kill some Defiants? He said, 'About time you took these extreme measures. It had to be done.' Even King Koenma knew we had to change policies. So I suggested him to lift the ban on Hiei to let him kill any evil humans." He shrugged. "I mean, he's been inching to put his blade through some bad humans for a long time, especially to protect his and Rei's kids."
"Ok, too many details. I already don't like your ass," Yusuke scoffed at his Divine Enforcer self. "You and your pals are starting to sound like those SDF dickwads."
"Oh yeah, those losers… they work for me now and kiss my ass."
"Son of a bitch," the Spirit Detective facepalmed.
"Anyway, we're digressing here," Marty (DE) cleared his throat. "We waited for an opportune time to enter your world since it's overdue for our brand of law and order."
"And since we've already outgrown this world. Why not check in with our alternate worlds?" Brunhilde (DE) folded her arms, grinning.
"Oh, so you got bored with your little utopia? Now you wanna crash our playground?!" Brunhilde shouted, elbowing the barrier hard. "You stay out of our world, you pricks!"
"Oh, but we can't do that. Since your friends are all preoccupied with these anomalous threats, we decided to strike while the iron was hot. By pursuing your enemy here, we jumped at this chance to confront you and assess your abilities," Marty (DE) said. "And it's clear while you're strong heroes, you're still passive. Your world is in need of some divine justice."
"Now that we've contained you here, we can slip into your world in your place," Moon (DE) said as she turned back to her Divine Enforcer gear. She called Sedna (DE) back in. "Dear Sedna, will be so kind and open the portal to their world?"
"And you know the exact coordinates?" Yugi (DE) asked her.
Sedna (DE) nodded hesitantly. "Yes…"
"Please, don't do this. I know you're against this!" Sedna pleaded to her other self. "You don't want to go through with this!"
As Sedna's words resonated with her, Sedna (DE) pulled her hand back. However, Marty (DE) grabbed the Ice Senshi's hand and pushed it forward.
"Don't let her tempt you, Sedna. We've agreed to this," Marty (DE) whispered in Sedna (DE)'s ear.
"There's no going back now," Moon (DE) glared sternly at her.
"Please, Sedna! Don't!" Sedna cried out to her.
The deed was done. Sedna (DE) successfully opened a portal. The Divine Enforcers each went in. Sedna (DE) kept the portal open for all of them.
"Go, I'll catch up," Sedna (DE) said to Takato (DE), who went in with Guilmon (DE).
Once the Divine Enforcers went in, only Sedna (DE) remained. She deeply sighed and turned to meet the YYGDM leaders.
(End theme)
"Sedna, surely you know what you're doing is wrong!" Moon called to her.
"By letting them into our world, they'll run rampant with their extremist ways!" Marty yelled.
Sedna pleaded. "Please let us free, Sedna. I saw the pain on your face. Your tears. Your emotions poured out when you mentioned having to kill brother. When you lost Dimitri and Orcus. All of that coming down at once must've been torture for you to endure."
Sedna (DE) closed the portal and wiped a tear from her eye. "Please no more. No more heartache. No more pain. I can't bear it. I hate what we've become." She openly confessed. "This Divine Enforcer thing… I never wanted this."
"Then why willingly go along with this farce?" Takato asked Sedna (DE).
"I thought… I thought we could bring peace to this world. I was a fool."
"Have you ever spoken out against their policies?" Sedna inquired.
"I have, but they'd turn my opinion away and said I needed to look at the bigger picture. Following the Defiant war, they changed. I changed somewhat."
"I don't believe that," Sedna said. "You're the only one of the Enforcers who kept an open mind."
"The only one who I've been able to talk to is Takato. He understands the pain and anguish of us losing our friends," Sedna (DE) said as she approached the barrier. She stood right in front of Sedna and pressed her hand against the barrier. "But, he's still already staying the course with the other Divine Enforcers. I've failed to talk him out of it."
"Well, don't worry I'll wake him up!" Takato said completely determined.
Sedna (DE) chuckled. "Yes, maybe you can."
"Sedna, our world is in danger. They'll try to dupe our friends!" Brunhilde exclaimed.
"I don't think so. They're gonna ask where I am," Agunimon pointed out. "There's one hole in their plan."
"And I have another," Yugi added. "Some of our friends are more astute than others."
Moon nodded. "Yeah, Rei will be able to figure out Miss Divine Enforcer isn't me."
"Likewise for some of my teammates," Sedna said.
"Hiei and Kurama know something's up. Can't say the same for Kuwabara though," Yusuke stated.
"Please, Sedna, we need you to bust us out," Takato pleaded. "We can't let them run our world to the ground and impose their new world order!"
"Not to mention they'll ruin our image," Brunhilde frowned.
As Sedna (DE) turned her back to them, she stared at the monitors showing the Divine Enforcers about to breach the YYGDM-01 dimension. She folded her arms and shuddered dreadfully.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid they'll see you as a traitor?" Sedna asked her. "Look, you already said you disprove of their actions! How much more abuse should you have to endure from them to get the idea?!"
"It's not that simple!" Sedna (DE) shouted back, turning and facing the YYGDM leaders. "It's thanks to them I've been living in peace. Yes, how we achieved peace was wrong, but I can finally rest knowing justice has been served to those who killed my loved ones."
"You're lying to yourself," Moon muttered quietly.
"Huh?"
"STOP LYING TO YOURSELF!" Sedna screamed passionately at her Divine Enforcer self.
This resonated with Sedna (DE), who shook and cried.
(Cue The Ecstacy of Gold - Ennio Morricone)
"If brother were here, he'd tell you to grow a spine and stand up for yourself."
"Brother…" Sedna (DE) shed tears as she reflected herself mercy killing Kensuke. These pained memories resonated in the Ice Senshi's mind and caused her to break down further. She sank to her knees and sobbed. "Brother, I'm sorry…"
"You think it worked?" Agunimon asked Sedna.
"I hope so," Sedna sighed, pitifully looking over her Divine Enforcer self. "Or, else we'll be stuck here waiting. No, we don't…"
"We don't? How?" Marty inquisitively asked Sedna.
"Her mental link with Kensuke!" Takato remembered.
"You think you can reach him from this dimension?" Moon inquired.
"Yeah, we've communicated with each other over dimensions before. He's probably still in Tai's world," Sedna said as she sat down and closed her eyes.
Sedna (DE) watched Sedna concentrate and flare up with snow blue light.
"Everyone give her room," Yugi suggested as the others moved away.
"Don't have to tell us twice," Brunhilde said.
"Go on, Sedna. You can do it," Moon encouraged the Ice Senshi.
Sedna focused and forged a mental link with Dramon X. Ken, can you hear me? Brother, it's me, Karin! We're in trouble!

Odaiba District/Highton View Terrance/Dimension: DF-616
After parrying some blows from Superman, Dramon X blasted him back with a Ryuken Wave. He paused as he received Sedna's mental distress.
Karin?! Where are you?! Dramon X telepathically replied. Sorry, but I was in the middle of a fight!
With who?
Would you believe me if I said a brainwashed Superman and a bunch of heroes?
Yeah, I would actually.
Dramon X responded. That's the least of my worries, sis. Where are you and the others?
We're locked up in a cell by alternate universe counterparts of ourselves. Think more fascist versions of Moon, Takato, myself, Yugi, and the other leaders! Sedna went on to explain their situation.
We're now dealing with Justice Lord versions of y'all? And the Lord version of you is with you? Has she hurt you?! Dramon X asked with worry.
No, she hasn't. Out of all these Divine Enforcers, she's the one least in line with her colleagues. We gave her a reality check and it seems to have worked… maybe too well. She's on her knees and contemplating releasing us.
Maybe I should convince her, sis.
If you do, be gentle. The last thing she wants is to freak out seeing your face.
I understand. I'm on my way with a few others. I've got a lock on your location thanks to our Light Legacy bond. Hang in there, sis! We're busting y'all out! Dramon X finished as he turned to Omega X, who was fighting off Celesta X. "Tai, we've got a real dilemma!"
"Yeah, no kidding!" Omega X said, parrying Celesta X's hand strikes.
"That's not what I meant…!"
"I know, I read your conversation with Karin!" Omega X phased past Celesta X with Instant Movement. "Some bad versions of our friends captured Karin and the others."
"To make matters worse, they left our friends behind and left for their world to take their place! No way I'm letting that slide!" Dramon X exclaimed.
"In that case, we better wrap things up here!" Omega X nodded.
"Then, we better get moving, Tai!" A voice belonging to Max shouted out of nowhere.
Suddenly, to the surprise of Specter, Max, the D3s, BW, Pikkan, and BanchoLeomon dropped in to help their friends and Pluto's group handle the brainwashed heroes. Tike, Kara, and David held off Celesta X. Keke and Sam stepped to confront WarAngemon. BW, Pikkan, and BanchoLeomon stepped up to fight Superman.
"Matt, it's up to you if you want to join us," Max offered Metalla X.
"Keke, can I leave it to you and Sam to handle TK?" Metalla X asked them.
"Sure, that's why we're here!" Keke nodded. She turned to Angemon X. "Bro, you go with dad!"
"Thanks, sis. Besides, Karin is in danger and I have to go!" Angemon X said.
"What happened to Karin?! " Athena overheard.
"Athena, you stay here help aunt Keke and the others, ok?" Angemon X asked his future daughter. "Don't worry. I'm bringing mom back safe!"
"Ok, poppa! Be careful!"
Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, Dramon X, and Max amassed together, which garnered Specter's attention.
"Huh? Oh no, you don't!" Specter growled, taking out a few Hero Keys. "No way I'm letting any of you go so soon!" As she prepared to throw the Hero Keys, Spirit intercepted her with a beam. "Ugh!"
Spirit knocked down Specter and picked her up. She tossed her overhead and threw her on Green Ranger.
"Go, my friends! We'll handle the situation here!" Pluto beckoned the Ascendants. "Free our friends from their confinement and get to dimension YYGDM!"
"Right, here we come, sis!" Dramon X called out as he opened a portal for him and the Ascendants to cross over.
"NO!" Specter yelled out angrily.
Too late, the Ascendants already made it through as the portal closed. Specter is left seething mad.
"Looks like you got nothing left, Specter." Spirit taunted.
"NO! NOT YET IT HASN'T!" Specter yelled out as she charges for another round at Spirit and her allies. "Green Ranger, come forth!"
The Green Ranger stood in front of Specter. He raised his Dragon Dagger to Specter. Samurai Jack intervened and stopped Green Ranger.
"Let's see what this Hero Key contains?" Spirit picked out a Key she stole. "Well now." She grinned as she activated the Key, which released the White Ranger.
White Ranger jumped over Jack and engaged Green Ranger.
As Specter tried to give Spirit the slip, Alma jumped on her face. Specter grabbed Alma and tossed her aside. Spirit fired a blast at Specter's way, but Sailor Saturn formed Silence Wall. Spirit's blast was nullified.
"You forget I still have a few of your allies' friends on my side!"
Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune joined Sailor Saturn. They stood off against Spirit and Alma.
"Spirit!" Homura called out as she and Madoka knocked away Naruto. She hurried over to Spirit and Alma.
"Hold on, lady Spirit!" John hollered as he kicked Red Ranger back. "Madoka, heal these heroes!"
"Ok!" Madoka started healing Red Ranger and Naruto.
While the Justice League and the D3s fought Superman and the other corrupted heroes, Pluto continued her duel with Sora.
"Sora, we must cease this fighting and confront the real enemy!" Pluto reasoned.
Sora swung his Keyblade, which struck Pluto's Time Staff. Sora unleashed energy from his Keyblade, repelling Pluto back. Pluto briefly turned to see the Outers, who were now Specter's pawns.
"My friends…" Pluto gritted. Upon seeing her friends, she regained her resolve and transformed into her Dai-Valkyrie state. She summoned her spirit wolf, Lupe, who lunged at Sora and snatched the Keyblade in his jaws.
Before Sora can grab Lupe, Pluto whacked him in the back, knocking him down.
"Sorry, Sora," Pluto muttered. "Madoka, please treat Sora!"
"Leave it to me, Miss Pluto!" Madoka said as she finished healing Naruto and Red Ranger.
As Specter sent the three Outers to attack Spirit, Dai-Valkyrie Pluto, Homura, and John stopped them.
"Your servants are dwindling, Specter," Pluto said, pointing her Time Staff toward the dark Senshi. "Release my friends now!"
"Not a chance. In fact, I think we should relocate," Specter suggested.
Homura fired a shot at Specter, who dodged. "You're not going anywhere. We end this here!"
"Whatever else you got in mind, doesn't matter since you're done!" John said.
Specter grinned mischievously. "Not quite yet…" She took out Spirit's dimension key.
"She's going to get away!" Spirit yelled out.
"My friends, I have more surprises waiting in store in my fortress. You're all welcome!" Specter announced as she opened a portal with the dimension key.
Pluto, Homura, and John tried to stop her, but Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn intercepted them. However, Spirit bypassed them and went straight for Specter.
"Spirit!" Homura called to her.
Pluto swung her Time Staff, unleashing a powerful wave that knocked down the Outer trio.
"Hurry and get into the portal!" Alma cried.
"Madoka, we'll leave it to you to heal these heroes!" Homura called to her friend.
"We've got this!" Shu called out as he and Gai kept Noctis at bay.
With that, Pluto, Homura, John, and Alma crossed over into the portal with Specter and Spirit.
"Go get her!" Madoka cheered them on. She watched as Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn stand. "Looks like I've got my work cut out for me." She readied healing arrows to hit them with. Come back to me safe, Homura!

Maximum Security Containment/Legend HQ/Dimension: YYGDM-DE
The portal arrives that Omega X, Angemon X, Dramon X, Metalla X, and Max came out and saw the YYGDM Founders in their cells. Besides them, the Ascendants saw Sedna (DE) whose facial expressions are shocked to see 'two ghosts' (Angemon X and Dramon X).
"No..! It can't be!" Sedna (DE) cried out. "Dimitri?" She turns to Dramon X with a flabbergasted look. "Brother, is that really you?"
"Karin?!" Dramon X blanched at the sight of the two Sailor Sednas. He already could discern which is his sister. "You guys are in a really tight spot!"
"Tell me about it!" Sedna replied.
"Can't you get out?!" Omega X asked them.
"We can't! This containment has nullified our powers!" Takato added. "And this barrier's an extra security obstacle we can't seem to break!"
Angemon X hurried over and placed his hand against Sedna's. He was instantly shocked by the barrier's field.
"Careful, sweetie," Sedna warned.
"These Divine Enforcers really went out of their way, didn't they?" Omega X asked.
"Yes, because we have one of them with us," Moon turned to Sedna (DE), who looked at Angemon X and Dramon X in shock.
"Karin?" Angemon X balked at Sedna (DE).
"She's not me, Dimitri," Sedna nodded sadly. "She's physically me, but she's spiritually not the same. She's been broken because of all the tragedy she faced."
"And she still willingly joined the Divine Enforcers," Dramon X frowned at Sedna (DE).
"Brother… Dimitri… you have no idea how happy…" Sedna (DE) trembled. She smiled at them with tears. "How happy I am. I never thought I'd see your faces."
"Stop," Dramon X turned away, not giving Sedna (DE) so much as a glance.
"Brother…"
"Stop calling me that. Is it true you killed parallel me out of mercy? Because I went on a rampage?"
Sedna (DE) nodded. "Yes, and it was the most painful decision I've ever had to make. You asked me to kill you… I refused, but you begged me. When Orcus died in the battle with the Defiants, you snapped and massacred most of the Defiant rankings. When I subdued you, you asked me to give you the mercy killing you've always wanted should you ever lose control." She covered her face, sobbing hard.
"I see. So, you actually went through with it…" Dramon X veered from Sedna (DE) and faced Sedna. "Sis…"
Sedna smiled. "You know I'll never do it. We'll prevent whatever future is ahead for us. We can change it so the Defiant conflict doesn't need to happen and so Takuya doesn't die."
"But Zagato said…!" Sedna (DE) stopped as Omega X patted her shoulder.
"Not every future is set in stone. Right, Dimitri?" Omega X asked the time traveler. "After all, you saved me from that heart virus I was supposed to get."
"Yeah, that's right," Angemon X replied. "But, we have to consider whatever actions we take could splinter into a different kind of future. Whether it turns out good or bad remains to be seen."
Max added. "That's exactly right."
Dramon X confronted Sedna (DE), looking her dead in the eyes. "Listen to me close. You may look like my sister, but you're nowhere close to her. You have her body and face, but not her spirit!" These words minced with Sedna (DE), knocking some sense into her.
"Brother," Sedna dismissively nodded. "That's enough."
"Only because you told me to," Dramon X addressed Sedna. "So, whose side is she on now?"
"She's conflicted," Sedna said as her doppelganger walked over and deactivated the barrier.
"I'm doing this because it's the right thing," Sedna (DE) sighed. "I'm not willing to follow my colleagues' path if it's to take your places in your own world. All I wanted was a better world, but this is not what I wanted. But, you all have a chance to keep your from collapsing like ours has."
With that said, the YYGDM Founders are freed from their cells thanks to Sedna (DE) and Kensuke's words to Sedna's counterpart.
"Hell yeah, I got my spirit power back!" Yusuke charged power into his finger.
"And I got my flames back! Let's go get those stuck-up doppelgangers!" Brunhilde said.
"Now let's go teach those jerks we're not to be messed with!" Agunimon pumped his fist up, fully determined.
"Thank you, other Sedna," Moon addressed Sedna (DE).
"You didn't have to do this," Marty said.
"No, I'm doing what I think is right," Sedna (DE) stated, causing Sedna to smile. When she faced Dramon X and Angemon X, both gave her stern looks.
"Time's a wastin', we have to get going," Max informed the unified group.
"Feh, so am I allowed to cut loose on these doppelgangers?" Metalla X scoffed.
"Nah, we need them alive so we can bring them back here," Omega X replied to his friendly rival. "But if you wanna knock one of them out, be my guest."
"Hey, if you wanna knock out my doppelganger, you have my blessing!" Brunhilde encouraged Metalla X.
"Yeah, we're going to stop our counterparts from messing with our friends!" Takato said in determination.
"I'm with you Takato!" Guilmon exclaimed.
As the group amasses together, both Sedna and Dramon X open a portal for them to leave this dimension, and onto YYGDM-01.
"Divine Enforcers, here we come!" Moon boldly declared.

Shinjuku District/Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building/Legend HQ/Dimension: YYGDM-01/Late-November 2011
Back at the YYGDM dimension, at an alleyway nearby Legend HQ, the portal came out in having the Divine Enforcers (Moon, Yusuke, Takato & Guilmon, Yugi, Brunhilde, and Marty) traverse to the place where their counterparts lived. The seven saw Legend HQ just as they remembered it before renovating it into their new headquarters.
"We made it to our destination, fellow enforcers," Yugi (DE) stated.
"Feh, our headquarters need some damn redecorating," Yusuke (DE) sardonically scorned while glaring at Legend HQ.
"No matter, we're going to protect our kind from being endangered," Marty (DE) stated, speaking on behalf of the Metas.
"Let's show this dimension what it means to feel divine justice," Moon (DE) declared with an extremist mindset.
And then, the screen fades black.

Next chapter: Sojourner Travels Part III - World's Finest
xxxxx
Ford1114's A/N: Wow, I knew for the fact that this is a long chapter, well, a little long with a long prologue. There's going to be no post-credit scene in this chapter, as it transition to Ch. 13 in ending the Sojourner Travels arc.
The Nioh segment is interesting in relating to Japanese Myths and History that I showed the game to Kanius. This is the first segment that doesn't feature the 'Dragonball Z - Cha-La-Head-Cha-La' song alongside a character saying 'The following is..' in Japanese as a unique change. In that segment is the first appearance of my Sailor Moon OC, who is the daughter of Saturn and Dimitro named Unborn Saturn. Her partner is an Indominus rex, don't know if her YYGDM-01 counterpart has a different partner that I come up with an idea in case (even though me and K love the Indominus more). I already come up with a Neo Uranus and Neptune with names (not yet their civilian names) and ideas of their partners. Nioh has Guardian Spirits that remind me of YYGDM's spirit partners, Suzaku appears in the game (alongside Genbu and Byakko (who is like a true form of the eye-patch white nekomata that remind me of Himura/Himmako). Seiryuu has yet to appear, though Mizuchi as a guardian spirit is a placeholder.) that reminds me of his revival towards the end of Valkyrie Advent. I showed the author movie cutscenes, a walkthrough of the final main mission, and other things related to this. Back in Saint Patrick's Day (besides 20 Years of Toonami), it's good timing/luck that I collected all the Nioh trophies. Whenever the Nioh DLCs are out taking place after the game, I can have time to show him, there are three of these (first will be released in April 2017 which will have new yokai, guardian spirits, characters. missions, etc) that will showcase the Siege of Osaka. There's even an optional dual boss fight of fighting both Nobunaga and Yuki-Onna (who is actually Nohime). The music composer of Nioh is the same one that did Psycho-Pass and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. On 3/24/2017 before the first DLC, Nioh updates the free patch 1.06 with new missions.
While not quite intentional, back in the late-2000s when Kanius does fanfics of the Naruto crazed, there's elements of Japanese folklore seen with the Bijuu and set in fictional worlds, though the writing is Shonen at the 'Dark Years' (You know, now that Naruto is seen controlled by Specter, K mentions of a Witchblade Sakura reference in CG). Late 2010s shows a similar repeat, only different, and this time I'm involved with showing Nioh with Japanese folklore elements set in the real world, not to mention Nioh as an M-Mature game is geared towards older audiences and unintentionally readers growing up with K's fics, the writing here improves for the 'Final Years'. Both works (Naruto and Nioh) overall with titles start with an N, have ninjas. :P Hmm, the part in Chapter 12 when Specter taunted Spirit/Pluto/John/Homura in venturing to Specter's fortress with surprises waiting, that Nioh segment we co-authored of Unborn Saturn (taking over Spirit's place, Clear takes over Alma's role)/Pluto/John/Homura fighting the Yokai army becomes an unintentional foreshadowing yet different. We can see Chapter 13 of whatever Specter's other surprises shown in her headquarters and Story!John's Volodramon form in action.
So here are the Divine Enforcers, they are extremist versions of the YYGDM Founders. This idea is first conceptualized by Lycosyncer, so we give credit to him and thank him for this direction. We won't show the origins/background since there's so much going on in this chapter, so we'll just tell you in the A/Ns. This alternate reality happens back when Wrath of the Defiants occurred caused by a xenophobic businessman (Cain Bearer, he's like the SCPOTUS of YYGDM), only there's no special events exist such as CG alongside some alterations in backgrounds. Sadly, most of the heroes are killed during the war without awaring of these preparations (including Kuwabara, Kurama, Cammy, the other Valkyries, a young Thai man who is not Ford (same goes for the unnamed Thai man back in my Guilty Crown: Lost Kingdoms fic mentioned once in Ch. 7), Lyn, Sailor Pluto, Sailor Neptune, half of the Legendary Warriors, and some of the Chimeras/West Coasters), the biggest source is Takuya ("Cost us a friend."). Him killed is a tribute of The Flash from DCAU since they are the hearts of their 'Justice League', prompting Sailor Moon to kill Cain Bearer akin JL!Superman killed Luthor. This cause an alternate path, both YYGDM-01 and YYGDM-DE immediately transition to the Crystal Age/Crystal Tokyo after the Defiants war and celebrations, while YYGDM-01 as the main universe transitions to the utopia we know back in Sailor Moon's canon ending, YYGDM-DE already in the 30th century has its transition to a world of tyranny and fear in hence why Moon (DE) refers it as 'Neo-Crystal Tokyo' back in Ch. 11. Oh, for those who hates YYGDM!Mist, the Mist that exists in YYGDM-DE is just a standard villain and not pure evil, she doesn't even kill Philippe unlike her YYGDM-01 self, what's fun during the Divine Enforcers' rule, DE!Brunhilde makes Mist a yes-man servant in loving to kick the enchantress for giggles (and even lick Mist's cheeks to show Brunhilde as a bi). Tuxedo Norse does not exist in YYGDM-DE. :P Back in current events, the Divine Enforcers are subduing/displacing the YYGDM heroes in substitute them and for the tyrants to enter the YYGDM-01 dimension in disguise as them, much like Justice League showed in A New World episodes.. (To which I write the last scene (and some parts before that) of that for this chap) Of course the YYGDM heroes are going to be suspicious and not falling for these tricks (Which we will be saving this scene for Chapter 13). I lol at the part of Takato groaned of Takuya's comment of "Not my Takato." :D Sedna (DE) shows the most empathy and hesitation, she's likely going to turn against the Enforcers and help out the good guys in the next chapter, like Batman (JL) did to the League before. About the Defiants, again led by Cain Bearer, they are going to be the final opponents that YYGDM has to face in the forthcoming series finale after Cross Generations, they have been first alluded back in Summer Diaries/Special Edition with the Arcadian Cross/Cain Bearer chapters of a warning that the last enemies are not those of 'supernatural, dimensional invaders, and so', but rather specific groups of humans that the heroes protect are turning against them. It'll be a war between humans and meta-beings with bigotry driving the heroes to extinction. These Defiants will also use Metas, SOUJA, and Digimon/Duel Monsters for their forces against them. All of this is indirectly cause by when Sailor Charon killed Cain's wife that led to that businessman's dark path, Charon's chaotic actions lead to more chaos such as this forthcoming event. We can tell that it's going to be personal for the YYGDM heroes, as if 'nothing is the same any more'.
Not only Specter summons controlled heroes, but Spirit does the same as well only the heroes are in their free will. One of which is, of course, Samurai Jack (pre-Season 5, though in the Accel Stream Movie by Chaosblazer shows Jack in his Season 5 appearance likely a 'separate dimension' perhaps? Though it's an example of personal canon, like Avatar: TLA is shown in DoC Ch 61 while Korra shown in CG Ch 10 is a separate dimension.). And yeah, me and Kanius did see the first two episodes of the final season. While I was watching Part 6 of Teamfourstar's Nioh Let's Play, one of them saw the new Samurai Jack, but another hasn't seen it yet due to cutting cable and hear good comments about it alongside shown on Adult Swim (Also, Lycosyncer hasn't seen the new Samurai Jack yet either).
OMG, I did not expect Mario and the Nintendo characters to appear. Yeah, Specter just controls Sora (Kingdom Hearts) that both he and Pluto met back in Dawn of Chaos Ch. 61 when Pluto went to the Kingdom Hearts dimension thanks to the Paradais duo, now they reunite, but not what Setsuna expected. Shu and Gai also face Noctis (Final Fantasy XV) that Gai met and his bros back in Ch. 5 (To be frank, Kanius still hasn't seen all the movie cutscenes of FFXV yet), making this a Square Enix power hour. I am surprised that Specter even controls Celesta X and WarAngemon! This makes things personal for Omega X and Metalla X.
And finally, on an important side note, me and Kanius have officially resume the official mail based on the author's upcoming official works. As mentioned back in Ch. 11, it has been 10-11 months. Am I happy about this? Yes, since it's been so long. Even though between that period, there is a lot of changes and idea changes for us to go over in taking time to make these works right (Believe me, I have more stuff in my head that I need time to write and change an old scrapped idea(s) to a better one like past works before eventually show it to the author). I remember originally we're supposed to resume towards the end of 2016 after the author's Italy trip, then I had to create a new mail for continuation for the start of 2017 and originally going to be discussed after VA Ch 6, then would have done so after CG Ch 11 only that YYGDM Gaiden with Beerusmon and Houou delays it (I mention to the author whether the Novels will take over the 'Once a Month Chapter Gaiden' this year (And when more fics are complete one at a time like VA/VH, Novel writing can take over more space). It's my response to the recent Gaiden, sure it is okay and like how Beerusmon and Houou meet; but only me, Jeff, and Chaos reviewed that chapter, and no one else of the 'general reviews' if you know what I mean). At the same time, my mind is stress out of the waiting game and even while I'm waiting for another job, the damage is officially done that I have to calm down and recovering (Yes, I too have a nervous meltdown in relating to the author's situation with Lazer last year). I create a priority mail of his debut novel ideas alongside a group discussion mail with Belle and Lazer (Belle just responded, now we have to wait for Lazer) in order to revive our discussions. I also send three messages (from March 11th-13th, two of them are brief) on the 'main official mail (part 2)' in waiting that the author will respond at the end of March (alongside responding a second half of my first message of mentioned we've split the discussion to parts) before we take a one month break for this, and I mention we'll resume for May. I'm looking forward to discuss much more with the author, that's another reason to make 2017 better than last year and averting 'fanfic status quo'. Letting you know K, Max Acorn just write Chapter 5 of his book. Also, this relates to another important A/Ns from the author in Valkyrie Homecoming Segment 9, while it's not that long compared to Segment 8, this does not focus on certain people's grievances and a yearly reflection, but rather the author's own psyche (especially relating to this paragraph that will explain in detail). I write this because Spring is already here.
Not only that, but about my recent job, unfortunately, I was discharged because of a budget cut that my boss doesn't even know, I would have been staying longer to actually be permanent (and a chance of promotion) since I did well. Well, my contractor is still helping out of having news of another position in that same company, while I'm applying things outside in case (such as having a brief meeting with another recruitment company in Downtown).
Send a review and see you in the next chapter.
