"It is SO amazing that were going on a camping trip while Gao and the others are Training with Guru, I mean how often is it that we get a break?" Mahiru asked.

"Not that often, now that I think about it. Mainly because some big shot bad guy always tries to ruin our fun." David said.

"Tell me about it. I can't even turn my back for one minute before some guy comes flying in and ruins the party." Hope said.

"I did certainly hope that Ace would've came with us, but he said something about camping not being his thing. I wonder why?" Sonia said.

"Maybe he has Allergies? I mean, even Nephilim gotta be susceptible to those." Edward said.

"Yeah, but when I saw him leave, he looked...sad." Nina said.

"Maybe he really wanted to do this with us, but something held him back from doing so." Twilight said.

"I hope Ace will be okay by himself. It'll be lonely him being the only person back there." Yumi said.

"Don't worry about it, he has the battle simulator to help him keep busy." Ulrich said.

"I wouldn't worry about him guys, Ulrich's right. Ace probably wants to get a handle on his new abilities, so he's using the Sim for that reason. Maybe I'll join him one day." Hope said.

"I know a friend of mine back home would probably enjoy these woods." Papelne said.

As they drove through the woods until finally reaching their Camping spot farther out from Guru's training sight in the Mountains, the others unpacked as Hope, Spade and David gathered in front of the transport.

"Alright. Everybody, I know we're all here to relax. But maybe while we're here, we could all connect with each other. Ever since the four of our groups met, it's becoming a bigger family then any of us could imagine. But I think it would make Jexi happy when he comes back when he sees all of us bonding like true teammates and friends. We're a team sure, but after this, I believe we can all work as one and even better than we could ever think." Hope said.

"That seems like a good idea, we could tell each other about ourselves more." Al said.

"I think it's a great idea. What do you think, David?" Mahiru asked.

"I think that's a great idea, too." David said. "We'd learn more about each other this way."

"If Ace or Jexi were here, they'd think the same way. Let's set up our campsite, then get to having some fun in the outdoors!" Hope said.

And so the four groups worked together to set up camp and finished in no time flat.

"Wow, this is the first time we went camping outside of a school trip." Kokoro said.

"And not to mention, this gives us a bit of experience for when we actually do our officialofficial camping trip." Yaoyorozu said.

"Actually now that I think about it, I don't think Mr. Aizawa mentioned anything about what we're gonna do once we get back to U.A to do your Summer Camp." Hope said.

"Knowing him, working on our quirks and abilities." David said.

"Uh, David? You and I don't have Quirks." Hope said.

"He said abilities as well, Hopey." Mari said.

"Well, I don't really know exactly what to expect out of Aizawa. But I guess knowing his record… he's probably gonna put us all through hell." Hope said.

"Even worse for Ashido and the others, since they flunked their exam." David said.

"What is Aizawa like? I know he's a teacher, but you said he's something called a "Pro Hero"." Leviathan said.

"Mr. Aizawa is a very strict teacher with a no-nonsense attitude, but he cares a lot for his students." David said. "He's actually a nice guy once you get to know him."

"Well I think it'll be pretty exciting to go to U.A." Al said.

"Yeah…." Izuku said. "Though...I hope it's just regular training when we get back."

"What's up?" Hope asked.

"Well...could...could we talk private without….?" Izuku began.

"Right. UA students...I think we need some more water." Hope said as most of them left.

"Well...before I went off to go with you guys...All Might told me about...One for All's Origin." Izuku said.

"He did?" David asked.

"Yeah...it's been around since the days of Quirks being born. He told me about the first holder and...about the villain opposite from it." Izuku said. "A villain who held a stranglehold over society. Someone who could actually steal quirks. He called him...All for One."

"Steal quirks? That doesn't sound good." David said.

"Yeah. All for One and the first user of One for All...they were brothers but...One for All went and defeated All for One. But...I don't think he stopped after that. It's a theory...but the League of Villains back home...they have to have a leader and...I think it's him." Izuku said.

"Tomura Shigaraki, right?" David asked. "No, wait… There has to be someone above him."

"That someone has to be All for One. I have a feeling just like Izuku was mentored by All Might….. All for One could have mentored Tomura, which explains his hatred for All Might and his desire to destroy hero society." Riku said.

"That's a definite possibility. When we get back to U.A, we need to be careful." Hope said.

"We all need to tread carefully. If we even take a wrong step from that point onward...it could very well mean our deaths." Zoro said.

"No pressure or anything. It's not like dying is the worst thing to happen to us." Mukuro said.

"Some of us, anyway." Tsumugi said.

"Still...with the Coalition gone...I can't help but wonder what happened to the revived survivors of the 78th class." Kaito said.

"I've been thinking about that too. It really seemed sudden." Jesse said. "Oh, by the way. While we were in that junk planet, I saw...him."

"Him who?" Spade asked.

"Normal of the Elements. Still pissed at me for Dragon's death so he took it out on you, huh?" David asked.

"Yeah. Him, Flying and Bug were all there. After the events of what happened on that Junk Planet...most of the Dark Forces there were arrested thanks to us. But Normal, Flying, Bug and the Summoner escaped." Jesse said. "No one even knows where they even are now."

"And that means that one of these days, Normal wants a shot at me to avenge Dragon." David said.

"I even asked him about it. All he said was...Dragon? Who cares about that past? All I want...is to cause as much havoc as this mind of mine can. He's moved beyond Dragon, he's nothing but a wicked soul now." Jesse said.

"Officially gone off the deep end, huh? Well, I supposed it can't be helped once it comes to it." David said.

"By the way, Ramona, you should know of the people arrested from the Dark Forces were some of your Ex boyfriends." Rainbow said.

"I've heard. And if I know those guys, they're not gonna stay down for long." Scott said.

"But we'll be ready in case they do come back." Ramona said.

"Hell, even that idiot Neinhart got arrested too." Rainbow said.

"Who?" Saki asked.

"An old enemy. He was a member of the Spriggan 12 and a collaborator with the Society." Erza said.

"He even tried to pit Ludger against me, but my bond with him shined through." David said. "He was...one of Cheetah's partners after I killed Bloodman."

"He even worked alongside Ultron Sigma, but slipped away in the chaos." Kokoro said.

"At least he's finally behind bars." Lacy said.

"Again." Sectonia added.

Later back at the campsite after a fire was started...

"You guys have some really cool stuff happening in your lives." Paimon said. "Sometimes I envy you humans. Your problems sound like fun."

"I'm sure you would've came with us if you could." Himeno said.

"Hmm…" Azura said.

"Hey...how about for a little fine...I tell you guys some stories I've heard since the last we met." Paimon said.

"Depends on how much it pays." David said.

"I'm not charging. It's free. Though the first two are free, the third will cost ya." Paimon said.

"Hehehe. You're just like Anna in a way." Azura said.

"I want a foot massage from one of ya...uh….him." Paimon said pointing to Guy.

"U-Um, are you sure?!" Guy said nervously.

"You aren't scared are ya?" Paimon asked.

"Guy is...very uncomfortable around girls." Sachiko said.

"I know. It's why I picked him." Paimon smirked. "I am a demon after all...making people scared and uncomfortable is sorta what I do."

"Kinda makes her lucky we're on friendly terms with her." David said.

"I can kinda see that. I hope Guy is up for this…" Hope said.

"Now...let's start with the first free tale. The first is just a little something I heard on the way here. Its a tale of revenge." Paimon said strumming her guitar. "Once there was a girl who lived happily in peace, loving parent and wonderful life. Then came three men who bared the mark of the crow, struck down the father and left her to cry. Young girl soon grew, became the best dancer in the land...hoping to one day...take their lives by her hand."

"Damn… Sounds deep." Sectonia said.

"It's called the tale of the Dancer. Unfortunately that's all I know about it. According to rumors, the rest of the story is held in the Adventure Universe." Paimon said.

"Hmm… Interesting. We should stop by sometime." Kokichi said.

"And we know someone there. Cobalt. That adventurer guy." Lisanna said.

"The guy from the WBC?" David asked.

"We only met him once but he doesn't seem like that bad a guy. He could know more about the story." Mirajane said.

"Yeah...from what I know...there's actually a town on that world that holds every story ever told within the Adventure Universe." Paimon said.

"Is that where you got that Dancer tale? So what are the other two?" Mina asked.

"Well...I do know two others. But I'll save my best for last. Next...is the tale of the Dark Kingdom. Long ago...a kingdom cast in shadow, nothing grew, nothing lived… it was an abyss of nightmares. But then one day...a wanderer came and decided to make it his home. Cities soon rose as more people came. But they say the god of this universe was twisted and dark, twisting the light within all their hearts. He made the universe he ruled into his own twisted image...then came a kingdom clad in the dark...its ruler a dark man who would never lose up. A king said to have lived for many centuries...all he desires...a life eternally." Paimon said.

"Black… I figured that was the case…" David said.

"So the Darkness Universe wasn't always filled with evil people." Hope said.

"Kinda gives you hope for the whole universe, don't it?" Gemini asked.

"Sure does." Hope said.

"It's the Origin Tale of what is today known as the Dark Kingdom." Paimon said.

"If there was ever a chance to help save the Dark Kingdom from Black and this King… would there be?" Hope asked.

"The king...wait...you mean...Pen, Miasma, Onyx and Hate's father?!" Mana said.

"Yeah...according to rumor, the king isn't as old as a normal human being. Fact is...the kingdom's only had one king since its start." Paimon said.

"So the royal title hasn't been passed on at all? How old is this king?" Nami asked.

"Even older than I am...and that's saying something." Paimon said.

"That's something to wrap our heads around." Sectonia said.

"Now...the third tale...and since I've already sent your friend into a panic spiral...think I'll go free for this last one too." Paimon said.

"Looks like you're off the hook, Guy." Hope said.

"Looks like he's still getting over his phobia." Luke said.

"Now...this next tale...is one that happened within my universe long before I was born. A tragic tale. Long ago...a god over demons...wanted a peaceful world where humans and demons could coincide. For awhile...humans thrived on this world but when the demons arrived...things went apocalyptic. Humans and demons ended up fighting an unending war. The demon god looked on sadly as humans slaughtered one another in fear of demons. Then...when all the humans were gone, all that remained were demons. Even they turned on one another and fought another bloody war. When the dust settled, all that remained was a single demon as the world fell apart into dust. The Demon God...he fell into despair and even went as far as to kill himself. He had created a sword from solid steel and of his own blood in order to try and end his life. But...his fellow gods had stopped him and showed him something. To his surprise...near the world that had died...a new one was born. One where humans and demons lived together. He was moved to tears that all his despair vanished. As for the sword, it was lost to the ages of time...no one knowing where it ever went." Paimon said.

"Not...until recently." David said taking out Masakado. "I found this at the Shadaloo base while the Ginova Family were under Black's control."

"If that's true….then the story was never legend...it was true." Paimon said.

"Still, I never imagined that things in the Demon Universe were that bad." David said.

"And what about the demon who ended that world?" Hope asked.

"He still lives...he's actually one of the Seven Demon Lords….He's the Demon Lord of Wrath, Satan." Paimon said.

"Wait a minute… that guy's my counterpart!" Hope said. "Lucifer said that I reminded him of Satan when we met."

"Afraid he lied to you then. Because Satan is a demon lord...he doesn't have a counterpart." Paimon said.

"He what?" Hope said. "I can't believe it…"

"What? You expected an honest answer...from a demon?" Paimon asked.

"I guess not." Hope said.

"Paimon… I know it's a little rude to ask, but… would you come with us on our adventures? If you could, I mean." Rainbow said.

"Like I said before….no way in hell." Paimon said.

"Eh, worth a shot." Rainbow said.

"You guys can keep being the adventurous mortals that you are. Me, I gotta focus on graduating from Guru's little class so I can get back to being on the road to being famous." Paimon said.

"There is something I do want to ask you, the demon lord of pride, Lucifer. Is he a Nephilim?" Spade asked.

"No...he's a fallen angel actually." Paimon said. "He loved humans too much and was cast out for it." Paimon said.

"A fallen angel… wow…" Hope said.

"You know about them?" Erica asked.

"Well, some stuff. Fallen angels are different than other angel or skyian kind. Think of someone like Rodin. How do you think someone like him became who he is?" Hope said.

"One of the ways you can tell someone is a fallen angel is if their wings are black, right?" Simon asked.

"Not always. Sometimes...half their wings turn demonic." Paimon said.

"That kind of links to what Angelique said earlier." David said.

"Yeah." Hope said. "Basically, fallen angels are angels who have become demonic. Like I said, Rodin is one, if everyone knows."

"He's capable of assuming both a demonic and angel form in combat. According to what I saw in Bayonetta's memories when she fought him." Simon said. "Hard to believe he crafted weapons from very famous demons."

"I think we can say he's more than just a guy who runs a really badass looking bar." Hope said.

"So...anyone else want to share anything?" Liliana asked.

"How about we save that for tomorrow?" Hope asked. "It's pretty late."

"Yeah, I think it's best we turn in." Spade said.

As everyone went to their tents to sleep, Hope brought out Moon Bat's card as she appeared in front of him.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" Moon Bat asked.

"I uh… just wanted to talk. You know, since were buddies and everything." Hope said. "I've never gotten the chance to actually do that."

"I see…. We've never socialized one on one. That is only because I see you as the one thing I protect most… and I ruled out that talking would diminish my practice…" Moon Bat said.

"Don't be so hard on yourself. I know you were created from my Link with Lunala, so that means I have to protect you too. You and all the other cards in my deck work hard together with me, but that doesn't mean you have to do everything alone. We're buddies, just like Gao and Batzz, Gato and Abygale, and even Kanata and Athora. You're never alone. I'm always here with you, MB." Hope said.

"Hope...understand...there are no more original cards in your deck...only I. So..if I want a power...it would be something that will help me avenge the fallen." Moon Bat said looking to the sky as she glowed.

"Wha…." Hope said as a light overtook Moon Bat as she began to change.

After the light faded, Moon bat was still there, but she had changed. Her armor was more sleek and her claws more sharp. She also gained a few pieces of black crystal armor and two large cybernetic arms that resembled a familiar pokemon that could fuse with Lunala. She also had lightning like armor pieces on her shoulders.

"Wow… Moon Bat… you…" Hope said.

"Be silent...my fighter. I am no longer the Moon Bat you know. I am now Overturn Thunder Soldier, Dawn Wings Moon Bat." she said.

"Overturn Thunder Soldier… wait, you're now part of the Thunder Empire?" Hope asked.

"It would seems so. Gaining this new Overturn power somehow linked me to the the power of the Thunder Empire. As for the new ability itself… it seems as though it is a powerful ability." Moon Bat said.

"I...can't believe it." Hope said in shock. "This is so unbelievable…"

With David in his tent, He walked outside where he let out Jace Aldis and Einst.

"David. You wanted to talk about something with us?" Einst asked.

"It's just… I'll admit it. I didn't make a strong deck with you guys. These days, everyone is using Impacts and the like. You know, with Hope, he pulls new powers and cards for his deck like they're the blue strand of his hair, Ace, despite his talk of enjoying competitions, he is never happy unless he wins and he has strong monsters in his deck to prove it, and Yoko… Since she won Buddy Masters, she has a Mirage Card and who knows what she turns that into… I kept impacts out of my deck so that I could have a fair match, but with these new terms being thrown around like Impacts, Impact Monsters, Noble Phantasms in Ace's case, and now...these Overturns from what I've heard… I feel as though I can't keep up with these guys anymore." David said.

"What are you talking about?" Jace asked. "When you fought in the WBC and alongside Tasuku, you didn't fall behind him in the slightest. Not with Jack's Impact Monster forms, not when Tasuku used his Dragon Force, or even his Dragon Force, Style of Justice. You buddyfight your own way, and that has led you to win many matches, regardless of using Impacts or not."

"Agreed. You even stood up for me when I had left the side of Azi Dahaka. You had faith in me. So I believe you are always on the level of your comrades, no matter how strong they get." Einst added.

"Yeah, but the items in my deck… They're not much to write home about. I feel as though I'm exposing myself prematurely when my strategies involving them fall apart." David said. "I need to find a way to pull off winning combos like those guys without using Impacts. But...I know I can't do it alone."

"You're not alone." Jace said pointing to the tents behind David. "You have other fighters who fight for the same world as you. They can help you tune your deck, and become stronger. And I believe there's one person who can assist you as she becomes a buddy fighter as well."

Einst nodded. "Indeed. I believe that is her right now." he said pointing as Himeno came out.

"Himeno? I mean, I know she's the leader of SEALED and her comrades are skilled buddy fighters themselves, but… Wait, maybe it might just work." David said.

"And it will." Himeno said coming to David. "I'm aiming to become a Wizard Deck user for Magic World. I figured that you and me could work on our decks together with Donald. If that's okay with you, of course."

"Why not? Considering what we're up against, we'll need all the help we can get." David said.

"Then shall we work on our buddyfighting together? I don't want you to lose confidence in yourself. After all… you are an honorable leader.' Himeno said.

"Heh. Quite right." David said. "Alright. Let's get through this together, Himeno."

"Yeah." Himeno said.

And so, the camp continued to last as the days went by. But… the Chaos company wasn't about to let the heroes rest.

"That idiot Hope...there he goes dillying around in his happy little world...without a care for the world." Mime said. "How disgusting. I'm getting impatient. I want to kill him now. But no...rushing always leads to mistakes. I cannot chance it." Mime said.

"Shall I send for someone to take care of him, Lord Mime?" A cultist asked.

"Shut up." Mime said waving a hand making the cultist vanish. "Ugh. Great. With Alonz gone, I'm stuck with his idiot cultists. These idiots...thinking they know better than I." Mime said.

"Uh...sir. I have something to share. The remaining four members of your father's old enforcers have arrived." one of them said.

"Send them in." Mime said.

A door then opened up as four figures came walking in. The first figure shown was a man in ninja wear carrying several weapons by his side and showing no emotion.

Kurosuke

In charge of Assassinations

Next to him was a man dressed in gold as he smoked a cigar while several figures in chains walked alongside him.

Slav

In charge of Slavery

Following that was a short man in a lab coat with oil marks on it and himself.

Tin

In charge of Weapons

The final figure to arrive was a serious looking figure with fangs showing with several bags by his side.

Tigre

In charge of Smuggling

"I welcome one and all of you. It has been some time." Mime said.

"One year, 4 months, 33 minutes and 23 seconds, Mime. Wait, 26 now." Tin said.

"The reason we have all been gathered...has to do with the killer of our master right?" Kurosuke asked.

"The boy known as Hope. He is definitely a thorn in the side of our operations." Tigre said.

"I say we screw waiting. We go in there and kill em all. Then take any person that isn't human and sell em for a profit." Slav said.

"No. Rushing things would cause problems." Mime said. "Though...I did promise father I would make him suffer in any way we could. As records have it...one of their members is all alone back in the city."

"All alone?" Tigre asked.

"Tin...has the modification made to that boy been finished yet?" Mime asked.

"It took some time...but he is now under our control." Tin said.

"Good. Fit him with a CHAOS deck and send him to their ship. As a member, he'll be let in. Order him to buddyfight the boy...and then kill him quickly if he loses." Mime said.

"I'll make the adjustments right away!" Tin said laughing as he walked off.

"Hope...you will fall. But not before I get rid of all of those you care for." Mime said.
