Rise Of The Grimm Reaper

by BlackDragonDevilGod

For ever path traveled in one reality, another one is taken. In one version of the world, Loki's invasion failed and his allies fell. But in another, the invasion still failed but Loki's Servant attempted to spite the Avengers and as a result, two worlds have become one. How will our heroes fare in this new world of bloody evolution.

10. Chapter 7

Hello once more my lovely peeps!

So here we go once again, with yet another chapter and the long awaited reveal of the past. But it will not start in a way, you'd expect. As i plan to make this one for the long haul with this one. This one, we are going to see everyone that has been taken and an old friend will be hosting them all as well. One that will play a key part in Xero's story.

Along with starting the journey into Xero's past itself, how the Grand Order was different for him, as opposed to Gudao/Gudako's own experience during the anime/manga. Everyone has their own story to tell and Xero's will be much more different from the norm. But that difference, how it affected him, is what we'll be focusing on, as it will be the key to how people will treat him after this is all over. As the fact remains, people don't really know Xero and why he does what he does.

What shaped and molded him into what he is today.

In a lot of ways and since i'm going to get this out of the way, Xero has basically been molded like Ra's Al Ghul and Peter is his Batman, one willing to do everything but kill his enemies, while Xero is more then willingly to do it. You will see the reference soon enough but i wanted you all to get an idea of Xero's outlook on the justice system of the world, adding into his natural paranoia as a Magus.

Point is, the next many chapters will be showing how his experience during the Grand Order forged him into what he is today, so as always i won nothing.

So please read, review and "What the fuc-BOOM"

Chapter 6: The Curator

"I do hope you known what you're doing Madam."

"Oh course i know what i'm doing, you known me better then to assume i'm doing this for my own pleasure to see senpai squirm. It's a kohai's duty to protect her senpai and as his BEST kohai, i will do just that. Let's see that inferior kohai do something like this."

A sigh was heard, as one could see the owner roll their eyes at that statement. Of course, THAT'S what she wanted.

Typical.

"I suppose that's one reason why you want to do this and honestly, i expect a certain someone to disagree with you're statement. Still i understand enlisting the help of someone of my...expertise but it still surprises me you're going through with this. Might i ask, WHY you want to show them That Night first? Wouldn't it make more sense, to show the events as they unfold in their proper order, rather then jump right to one of the very last viewings."

"You already know the answer to that but if you insist on me saying it, i'll tell you: It's because those feeling threaten by my senpai, will try to rally allies against him. The events of That Night, will force them to face the simple truth, that not all magical and supernatural threats come because of the Magus. The fools like those who owned the Mines, were the architects of their own destruction and demise. THEY, in their arrogance and greed, unleashed the cruse upon themselves and everyone else paid the ultimate price for it. Humans are stupid but those pathetic fools however, were on a whole 'nother level of stupidity."

"True, 'We create our own demons' comes to mind, does it not?"

"It does but the idiots who lead the nations of the world won't ever believe it, unless it's forced upon them like most small minded and pathetic humans. The only way for the to see the truth, is for it to be forced upon them and MADE to realize that is the truth, regardless of how they tried to pay it off. If nothing else, it will prevents the others from turning against senpai via the normal humans not understanding the unknown and act like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off. After all, as arrogant as the world leaders are, not even they would dare go against humanity's saviors."

"Indeed they won't and with you're master's reputation it would be nothing short of political suicide. As such, this will show them that the 'boy who cried wolf' doesn't always do it out of boredom and monsters do in fact exist. Sometimes, you have to listen, otherwise more and more tragedy to sure to follow."

In a room, that could only be described as a threaten room, connected to a massive library, that had a huge wooden 19 century styled desk seated next to a large bookcase, where a middle aged man sat. His hair was a graying brown that was shaven by the two sides of his skull, went oddly well with his ice blue eyes that seemed to say:

I known everything, i have seen everything and i am still here to witness so much more.

His attire consists of a green three-piece suit (with octagonal details in the back), a white collared shirt with dark sleeve garters with a green patterned tie and dark brown leather shoes. The Moral Compass and the chain connected to it can be seen hiding in one of his vest pockets. Above those pieces of clothes. He also wears a brown and long trench coat, a green patterned scarf, a grey bowler hat and brown leather gloves, that had been placed on a coat rack.

He was doing some kind of paper work, with the only source of light being the candle lights, lite around the room and moonlight peeking through the many windows.

On the other side of the desk, was the Moon Caner class Servant BB herself.

Decked out in her usual attire of a a long black coat with a matching mini skirt that exposes her white panties and wears a white shirt (depicted as leotard in concept art) that empathizes her large breasts (which she says are "certified Kouhai Danger-Cup size") and a red bowtie. She also wears white gloves, black floral-patterned thigh high stockings, and low-heeled shoes.

The Servant herself resemblance the master known as Sakura Matou once Sakura Toshka with her long purple hair that reaches her ankle and purple eyes, which turn red when she is under the control of Moon Cell or when she is feeling strong emotions.

Much like how her master's eyes turn gold, when anger beyond belief or being emotional enough for his ancestor blood to rise within him. Miria The Phantom otherwise known as The Sliver Eyed Witch's blood runs on his mother's side of the family and it runs especially strong within him, despite it losing much of it's power since it's heyday. Miria belong to a sisterhood of sliver eyed witches but that is a tale for another time.

But the Curator would be lying if he said, he didn't enjoy documenting Miria's life and the sliver eyed women as well.

Such an interesting group of warriors. It was a shame they lived in such infamy for most if not all their lives, till the near end of the Yoma threat. Even when they say everyone, many people still shun them for what they did, to save everyone else.

Even worse, many have forgotten the history of the Yoma threat and what the sliver eyed warriors did in order to save it. Perhaps the Curator could squeeze some of their history before this was all over.

Maybe, maybe not.

The man's icey blue eyes looked up from his work and he spoke,"And here they are."

SSSSSSSSRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKK

With a massive flash of light, the groups of the visiting diplomats from both Earth and Remnant, their bodyguards, Levi, he Levi squad(Eren, Armin, Mikasa Historia, Ymir, Reiner, Annie, Perta, Jean, Sasha and Connie) Erwin, Hange, the Avengers, all the Servants from both Xero and Gudako's decks suddenly appeared, much to their surprise as well as their masters with even MORE surprised groups of people from the summit and then some.

"Spider...what the hell are you doing here?"

The leader of the Avengers groaned, seeing the armor clad hero here. Unlike before, where the brown haired teen swung around NYC in what could only be described as a "home made onesies suit" Xero had personally overseen the creation of his new and improved suit. One that would ACUTALLY stop bullets, knives and whatever else criminals would throw at Peter, rather then the teen relaying on his enhanced(And might i say, very impressive) relfexs to protect his ass.

Taking a page out of his father's book, the young man took to calling Peter's new suit:

Iron Spider Mk.1

Light but flexible armor made out of Magnesium based alloy. It is light like aluminum, but as strong as titanium alloys with insolation infused into the suit, to protect Peter from both, extreme cold, heat and electricity and pretty much anything that could be converted into a weapon or even extreme weather conditions. Like lighting storms, frozen winters or even tools like wielders and flamethrowers.

In other words, he made Peter's suit where it could come an ice age, hurricane or the nastiest drought there ever was and the teen be just fine.

A bit extreme but if nothing else, Peter would be ready for whatever life threw at him.

Or villains for that matter, the world was changing and Xero wanted Peter to be ready for it.

The younger Stark had also added some runes to the suit, ones that would make sure Peter never ran out of his "Webbing cartridges" and other things like that. Unlike his personal pistols, the runes he put on Peter's suit and the rest of the runes he created for the Avengers and allies, did not require his constant mana recharge. A bit unfair, but then again no one else had bullets that were basically made from you're own magical power and in turn, said bullets can pretty much tear through both normal and magical defense's, regardless of what it was.

The fact it's a secret, certainly helps him in taking down his enemies.

Then again, the only reason Xero created those runes in the first place was because he knew Loki's invasion would require everything they had, so he couldn't hold back or allow his allies to be held back by something so simply as no bullets or even arrows.

Half-assing it would only invite defeat.

Normally Xero wouldn't do such a thing, as he didn't want a gun that basically has infinite ammo in the hands of a criminal but like with Yuri's "Joy Colt" he created a blood seal that would prevent everyone but the original user to use the "infinite ammo" option. But unlike the police captain, Xero had modified Clint's quiver and bow to allow him to fire "element arrows" at the press of a button. The same for Natasha's guns and even going so far, to do the same for Neena, Bucky and even added some runes to Steve's shield, so it could have a secondary layers of protection, allowing him to throw an "ice shield" or even a "fire shield".

Basically making them even more dangerous then before.

Naturally he had his teacher, Morgan and even Olga help him create the runes, just to make sure they go smoothly as he had never created such runes before and used Emyia's reinforcement on all the Avenger's suits to make sure they could fight long enough to defeat Loki's army.

Looking back, Xero was damn glad he did so, otherwise things could have gotten messy real fucking quick.

"I honestly have no idea, i was swinging by to help, when i heard the explosions and then suddenly POOF, here i am. Where are we anyway, is this some sort of library that was smashed with a home theater room? Oh and when did the actually Grim Reaper have a love child with red riding hood?"

Xero just stared at the teen and mouthed:

What?

"Hey Mr. Mazoku?"

Blinking, Xero looked behind him to see little Red riding hood slowly walking to up with a nervous expression before she sucked in some air and looked up at him,"I just wanted to thank you. You known, for saving me."

"Eh, no problem little Red. Truthfully, i was trying to shield Levi but you were there too, so you got lucky, if nothing else."

"Oh."

The girl's face fell a bit, before she smiled,"Well, you still saved me, so-"

"Kid, if it WAS just you, yeah i'd STILL would saved you regardless if Levi was there or not. It was just a simple matter of protecting the closest person next to me. Ultimately, you being shielded was just because you had strong luck."

"Oh, that makes sense."

That seemed to lift the girl's spirits a bit, while her lookalike(More then likely her mother, Xero thought) as she looked at him with...caution? Hmph, good move on the older woman's part. She smiled at him, only for a couple of seconds, before her face morphed into one of shock and disbelief, making Xero raise an eyebrow. What did he say-

"TORCHWICK?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Blinking again, Xero looked behind him and saw a well dressed man and a girl, about a couple of inches taller then Illya.

...And somehow bustier too.

Somewhere within the room, said Caster felt her eyebrow twitch, somehow feeling like she'd just been insulted. Why did she feel that way and why did she have a feeling it was her master/Onii-chan, who did it?

As for said well dress man, aka Roman Torchwick groaned, as he looked at Ruby,"Well shit little red, we really should stop mee-"

"HUSBAND!"

Only to be cut off, as a red and pink whirlwind, struck Xero in sqaure in the chest and soon found his hands full of a Tamamo Cat! Much like the original Tamamo, the Berserker version of her had pink hair, fox tails and fair skin. She had a little more muscle tone then her Caster version but that was to be expected. Because he was already used to being jumped at random times, the master was able to keep himself upright, as his hand instinctively went under the woman's well defined thighs to hold her upright, as she wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling into his chest, like an overgrown cat.

Or fox, in this case.

Which is why, he wasn't too surprised to feel ANOTHER person jump on his back and do the same.

Which just so happened to be Hildr, one of the three warriors that made up Valkyrie. He didn't need to look over his shoulder, as he had long since gotten use to the "Immature sister" of three, she liked jumping him whenever he had his back to her.

Said it was fun for her.

Well said "Fun" was starting to hurt his back and he needed her off.

Now.

"Okay, Hildr, get off."

"No! You're comfy and i like it here master. Cat can't hog all you all the time, you've been neglecting me lately and i want snuggles as repayment."

Came the childish response, voice full of cheer and happiness. As the three of them grew in their time at Chaldea, with him raising their spirit cores, they also grew mentally as well. Each one developing their own personalities as a result. Hildr was, for a lack of a better way to say it, the energetic, innocent and fun loving sister of the three.

"Sister. Off."

Coming to his(And his back's) rescue was the third Valkyrie and the most mature of the three sisters, Thrud. Unlike her pink haired sister, Thrud was a blonde young looking woman, with an a more mature figure to match her position as the eldest of the three sisters. Although when said sister refused to move, only childish sticking her tongue out, did the blonde forcefully grabbed the pink haired one and all but threw her off their shared master.

"Ugh, thanks Thurd, as much as i love having pretty girls on me, i like it even more when they're not breaking my back. Speaking of which..."

The black haired teen gave a meaningful look, one that Cat understood and with great reluctance, got off him. But not before getting a kiss(With A LOT of tongue in it) before letting him go. His armor was all but weightless, regardless if it was actually heavy and it was only thanks to the many runes inscribed on the armor that allowed him to be protected and move like a cheetah.

Magic was a tricky thing, even Magecraft itself but once you understand it's in's and out's, it can be applied to many wonderful applications. His own personal made twin pistols, Kami and Yami were prefect examples of that. The two pistols fired bullets made from crystallized portions of his own mana and with his teacher, Da Vinic and Helena help, he was able to create a duplication rune that would refill his ammo before his pistols ran out.

It took some of his own mana to power the rune but the payoff was well worth it.

"Oi, kid what did you do?"

Clint yelled out, looking at his young friend and leader, who in response looked at the archer and asked,"What makes you think i had something to do with this?"

"Cause it's you and whenever something goes wrong, you're involved that's why."

Clint said grinning cheekily, making Xero give the SHEILD agent the finger but a smile coming to his face. Out of all the Avengers, Clint was one of the fastest he's come to trust(Which was shocking, as it took months before Xero could lower his guard around his father) that he didn't bring in. Maybe it was due to the fact Clint didn't trust so easily either and it took time to gain that trust, something Xero could sympathize with very easily.

Something they bonded over.

Or maybe it was due to the fact, Loki had taken control of his mind, forcing him to commit atrocities against his will and forced to fight his comrades. The young team leader became an ear for Clint to rant to, as well as Natasha. From his posture and the sincerity in his voice, tugged at the few remaining heart strings he had left. The archer was a good man and didn't deserve that.

No one did.

As this happened, Cinder narrowed her eyes, seeing Roman and his little dangerous partner here. She honestly wasn't too surprised to see the master thief here, no doubt thinking he could find a way to "Escape" her plans and no matter what she said, that worried her a little. If it were anyone on Remnant, she would have scoffed and laughed at Roman's pathetic attempts to escape her. But now...now the rules have changed.

Earth was MUCH more different then Remnant and as much as Cinder hated to admit, even she would have some problems defeating some of the freaks on this world, if Roman found a way to a line himself with one of them.

Her target most of all, as he was very powerful.

Power.

That is what Cinder wanted but needed to known how it worked, before she could even think about stealing it for herself.

It was already proven magic could be stolen, so this should be no different but she needed to see it in action and what it could do first, to make sure the process ran smoothly. This was a completely different world and while she had stolen HALF of the Fall Maiden's power, it was too soon to what if there would be any kind of repercussions or is something would go wrong. She had to play this one very carefully or else.

If she didn't, it would be like a child wielding their father's gun, it would end very badly and she had only one shot at it, before the Avengers came down on her head like a horde of raging Goliath's.

And his Servants as well, they were the real problem.

The power they wielded...it was beyond the Maidens and it was a power she wanted.

Badly.

But she only had one shot and had to cover every single base possible before she dare make a move. Only a fool would rush into something like this and one wrong move could spell her ultimate doom.

That couldn't happen.

A fool would rush in and no matter how much she wanted it, Cinder knew that patience is a virtue. Good things come to those who wait and while she would love nothing more then to rip what rightful belong to her, she wasn't a fool. Arrogant, yes.

But a fool, no.

Idly, Cinder took note of Adam and a small band of his own soldiers here too. Her mistress already knew about Sienna Khan attempting to make peace with the countries Earth and that simply wouldn't do.

"Seems Adam decide to ensure that didn't happen."

If it wasn't for HYDRA attacking the summit, she had a feeling Adam would have crashed the party. Something that would have worked out perfectly, as it would force the White Fang to either side with her mistress or die via a manhunt.

Either one worked for her really and that all really depended on whether the countries of Earth would see it as an attack by the White Fang as a whole or just a rogue splinter group. A fact that annoyed Cinder to no end, as she couldn't predicate how they would act. If it were just on Remnant, then she would have no doubt all four kingdoms would come to bear down on their heads.

Earth however, was different as there was no telling how they would react.

They could either cast the White Fang(And by that extension, the Faunus themselves) out like some sort of foul disease or worse case scenario(For her anyway) would be the countries teaming up with the White Fang, to be rid of Adam's group. Cinder knew the Khan was displeased with Adam and would sooner or later, caught him off, regardless of his standing within the White Fang.

It was only thanks to her mistress's spies, did she learn that many within the Fang had become discouraged and did not want to attack the humans of Earth. Something that would not do well for her plans and her mistress's plans either.

That had to change but at the moment, she would do nothing but wait. After all, good things come to those who waited.

"Sister?"

Elsewhere within the repository, Ursula stared in shock, to see a woman an inch taller then her. Like the dragoness, she was a very buxom woman with dark, blood red hair that reached past down her mid back, tanned skin and unique bright red eyes with slit pupils instead of round ones. Just like the dark skinned woman and even wore a revealing red dress and stiletto heels.

The only way anyone could tell they were sisters, were the two large, dark brown horns coming out of her head.

This woman was Ursula's older sister, Ember.

"What are you doing here?"

The sliver haired woman asked, as the redhead merely smirked at her younger sister,"Oh? Aren't you happy to see you're big sister? We haven't spoken in years and suddenly, i see my baby sister on the news, fighting along side the newly declared heroes of the world. Plus i wanted to met the man, who had captured my little sister's heart and i must say..."

The red head grinned, a glint in her eyes, as she watched the pale teen try to talk some sense into his Servants,"You've certainly lucked out. But i have to say, i'm surprised you lost to a Magus."

"He's different from most Magus we know sister."

Ursula said, getting on the defensive about her "Mate", something that made Ember smile warmly,"Indeed, he is clearly different, as i do have ears sister. You'd be surprised at the amount of things you can hear, if you keep you're ear to the ground. Not going to lie, i expected someone with his reputation to be a bit...older."

Casting an eye over the rest of the Avengers, Ember spotted Tony and Pepper,"And you two must be my in laws, correct?"

"That would be correct, Pepper Potts pleased to met you."

Pepper spoke, having followed the conversation and understanding who the older redhead was, held out her hand. knowing it would be best to make a good impression, as first impressions are everything after all. The taller woman raised an amused eyebrow but never the less, shook it,"Ah yes, the famous Pepper Potts, tell me is it true, that you run the whole of Stark Industries?"

"Very."

"Oi!"

"For all his genius, my father in law doesn't even run his own company. Believe me sister, it's a miracle that it's stayed afloat for so long and if not for her, the company would have probably gone under."

Tony merely pouted, acting like a child at the very true statement.

"RAVEN?!"

Summer, Qrow, Ozpin AND Yang all yelled out in shock, at seeing the bandit leader here with...several less then friendly looking people.

"Qrow, mind telling me what you've done?"

Raven asked, making it a point to ignore...those people. Summer, Tai and Yang...three people she hurt the worst way possible and no matter how much she say, she knew deep down, she hated herself for abandoning them but she hated being under Ozpin's thumb even more. It didn't matter what Ozpin said or did, she knew the cold hard truth:

Salem couldn't be stopped, couldn't be fought.

It was a losing battle and if those three wanted to throw away their lives, fighting an impossible war then that was their problem. She however, would not fight for that gods damn lair. Raven knew Ozpin known more then he let on but refused to say, for what reason she knew not but that raised all kinds of red flags to her. The fact he was STILL fighting Salem, after hundreds if not thousands of years now, was the second red flag she saw.

If Salem could be beaten, then why wasn't she dead already?

Surely the oh so great Ozpin, so wise and 'powerful' would have found a way to destroy Salem once and for all. Why did he simply keep playing defensive and not go on the attack?

When she asked point blank, Ozpin didn't even try to hide the fact he avoided the question, hence why that was red flag number two.

But red flag number three...was when Summer nearly lost her life to Salem's agents. No, she WOULD have lost her life, had Raven's bleeding heart not convinced her to save her at the last possible moment. After learning Ozpin had given her the mission, without telling the WHOLE story was what broke the straw on the camel's back for Raven.

Summer, still the same fool she was during their Beacon days, believed every lie Ozpin told her and took it without question. Tai and Qrow were, shockingly enough, were pissed at Ozpin and yelled at him but that was it.

They just yelled and nothing else.

Raven tried to convince them to leave Ozpin and his little war and while Tai took her advice to heart, Qrow and Summer didn't. Though truthfully, Raven believed he left so he could raise Yang and seeing as Qrow and Summer weren't going to listen, she made the only choice she could, hoping it would shock the two idiots into realizing her point.

Thus, she left and went back to Mistral.

She hoped the shock of her sudden leaving would have at least forced the fools to see things from her own point of view but like everything else, it was met with nothing but disappointment.

Honestly, she wasn't even surprised any more.

But years after the fact and those two fools STILL believed in Ozpin, Raven believed them and those who followed Ozpin were simply lost causes. Qrow, at the very least did question Ozpin and while he wouldn't abandoned the pointless war, he would listen to what she had to say.

Take what you could get, she supposed.

But everything changed, when their small(Compared to Earth anyway) world and she saw him. The Avengers fearsome leader:

The Grimm Reaper.

Out of all the Avengers, only four wielded magic that she could see. Angel, Thor, Mage and of course the Grimm Reaper. The Reaper was well known throughout the world for having done what many wouldn't dare do. Reaper aka Xero had power, skill, strength!

"Strength was all that mattered, if you had it, you are welcome."

That was the motto of the Branwen tribe and what they all lived by. In a lot of ways, that boy was like Ozpin. He had magic, power beyond imaging, a shadowed past, no one seemed to have ANYTHING on him for most of his life, save for when he met his father, nearly two years ago.

The difference between Xero and Ozpin?

Ozpin sat on his hands inside the confines of his ivory tower, he withheld just about every scrap of information possible and he never, ever did ANYTHING in the field. The boy however, Xero...he didn't. He didn't wait around and wait for others to do things, he took action to do it himself. The war in New York had proven to Raven, that Xero was more then likely much more powerful then Ozpin was(Possible even more powerful then the wizard on his prime) and wouldn't sit around for something to happen, he'd just do it himself.

With his summoned helpers.

In the darkest corners of her mind, locked away in the deepest parts of her cynical heart, Raven felt a flicker of hope. Maybe, just maybe the Grimm Reaper could...defeat Salem.

Originally, the fact none of them could defeat, IE i mean KILL Salem Raven lost all hope. She was a survivor if nothing else and she would survive, no matter what it took. She had hoped her leaving her family would shock Qrow and Summer into realizing in that fact but it only worded halfway with Qrow and she knew there was no turning back afterward.

Not that it would matter, as Salem couldn't be stopped, reasoned with or killed.

There was no hope.

Till now.

That was why she came to the summit and she planned to do exactly as she told her brother:

I'm just pointing a monster towards a bigger monster.

But this, might complicate things a bit. She seen what kind of targets the Reaper attacked and if she wasn't careful, she and the tribe might be on his hit list next. Sure, she believed she could take the boy and his so called "Allies" but it never hurt to stack the deck in you're favor.

"Plus, it wouldn't hurt to deprive Ozpin of a new pawn."

Yeah, denying Ozpin anything always left Raven feeling all nice and gooey inside, after all he'd stolen her teammates, she'd take her licks whenever she could. Wouldn't do to make it easy for Ozpin AND Salem to claim the favor of one of the strongest beings on Earth. Plus, if that made it easier for herself to curry favor by telling him the truth of things, while those two would hide it, well why not?

Self severing had it's own rewards, if you played the part right.

"Ozpin?"

Blinking the headmaster turned and saw Glynda, Peter Port and Doctor Bartholomew "Bart" Oobleck. Where did they come from, he left them at Beacon, to make sure Salem didn't try anything, while he was away. Out of all four kingdoms, Vale was the least to get attacked by Grimm directly or non-directly, simply because Ozpin's presence was a deterrent.

Plus, Salem was quite spiteful and he wouldn't put it past her to attack Beacon, if nothing else but to remind him, she still existed and is very much a threat.

"Glynda, Bart, Peter what are you doing here?"

"I have no idea. I was doing paper work, when a sudden flash of light blinded me and the next thing i know, we're here."

Glynda said, unsure of what was going on and was feeling a bit uneasy. Someone with a power that can yank another against their will and a number of people at that? That was something to be wary of and an unknown person with unknown allegiance, could only spell disaster.

After all, they could be working for Salem and that was a no brainer to what she would do with such a power.

"Well i'll be bugger, i was just in the middle of an exciting tale with my students then i was here. Where are we?"

Peter said jolly, even if his body coiled up like a spring, ready to jump or attack at the first sign of trouble with or without his weapon.

"Same here and by the looks of it, we are in some kind of repository Peter. I do wonder how and why, i do not know. Perhaps the others will know why we are here."

Bart, ever the voice of reason, spoke out the best possible solution and was the most sensible as he pushed up his glasses. Idly, he wonder if any of these books contains any bit of Earth's history and if it did, he wonder if he could read them.

One can always learn more, by learning the history of the world.

"Okay, anybody got any idea where we are? Cause, it doesn't look like we're not in Kansas anymore."

"I don't know...Bruce, you do realize New York isn't in Kansas right."

Steve said, looking at Banner with Bucky doing the same, did he hit his head or something? This caused the man to sigh, as Natasha simply patted the super soldier's shoulder and said,"It's an idiom Steve from the movie 'The Wizard of Oz."

"Oh."

Steve blushed a little at his blunder. Damn, even months of learning about the 21 century and STILL, somethings went over his head.

"Don't worry about it Cap, we all have our downfalls, nothing wrong with being a hundred year old man that looks like he's twenty. Many would kill to have you're blessed looks and you should be glad you're not a gut eating, alien blob."

Eddie quiped, while said "Blob" was shouting outrage at his host, threating to eat his rather tasty looking liver if he didn't take it back.

"Betty, what have we gotten ourselves into?"

Neena asked her friend, looking around the large library/theater room, as her fellow mutant merely shrugged,"Don't know but i have a feeling the boss's is involved. Oh and before you say otherwise, let's be honest, when ISN'T he involved in one way or another."

"Directly or indirectly?"

"Both."

Logan said with a deep sigh, very much wanting a smoke but didn't have one on him,"Kid's a working sideshow all in on his own and where apart of that show."

"It's not all bad Logan."

The beautiful dark skinned woman spoke, a grin playing her lips,"At least it's not boring, when he's around."

The hairy mutant simply grunted but didn't disagree. It was true after all and just one of those things you get use to and honestly, it wasn't really, truly all that bad if he were to be honest. At least he kept things interesting.

"That he does."

Jennifer Walters grinned, feeling her blood pumping at that thought. Before her first transformation into the hero "She-Hulk", she was a passive woman. Despite being a lawyer, a damn good one at that, she never did like violence or fighting in general. But when she first transformed, when she first fought those hitman that were sent to kill her in her alter ego's form, was the first time she ever felt the thrill of fighting!

Being a lawyer tends to make enemies, both weak and powerful and it was only because of her cousin's blood did she survive the second attempt on her life, resulting in the birth of She-Hulk.

Jennifer would admit, it was both freighting and intoxicating at the same time. Freighting because she had no idea what was happening to her and intoxicating, because she had never felt such power in her entire life. To suddenly go from a weak, frail woman to a complete powerhouse like that was...well, shocking to say the least.

Those hitman got a first taste of her newly acquired power and it was fun.

For her at least, not so much for them but who cares what they think?

Understandable Jennifer freaked out at first, running for nearly four weeks before Bruce finally caught up to her and was able to bring her back to New York, so she could get help. From there, she got help from her leader's and co-leader, Gudako's Servants on her newly acquired power. Namely, how to garb something and NOT crush it between her pinky finger and forefinger.

It was fun at first but it got annoying real quick.

"Blake, please tell me we didn't end up in you're heaven."

Yang asked, looking around the large library like room, wondering how Blake's heaven got mashed with her own, to have her own theater room. The blonde wasn't sure what to think or do, as not only did they come under attack from some sort of terrorist from Earth that was thought to be long destroyed but suddenly get snatched from New York(And without permission too, talk about rude) and then dumped in this strange room with not only with Roman Bloody Torchwick and some walking ice cream pun but her mother, the one that LEFT her when she was barely six months old to boot.

Yang believed she could be forgiven for feeling a bit overwhelmed and needed to vent some frustration. Blake herself didn't even rise to the bait, feeling her worst fears come true as she saw all the last people she wanted to see:

Sienna and Ilia, her parents...Adam.

All here.

In one place.

WHERE SHE WAS!

HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN AND WHY?!

"Gods damnit! Why the hell did i come to this damn world?! Why did i agree to this?!"

Because Ruby was her team leader.

Because the headmaster decide, in his infinite wisdom that she, Blake Belladonna had to face the ghosts of her past, where she couldn't run away this time. It was a miracle they hadn't notice her yet. But that wouldn't last.

Confront never did, especially when she was involved.

"Colonel Rhodes, you didn't mention anything about this or these people?"

Major General Meade spoke to Tony's best friend, Lieutenant Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes, now known as War Machine. Neither of the two military men had any problems with non-humans, mutants or even people of other countries or skin color, but when you are suddenly yanked to an unknown place without permission or even having a pistol on you with some of THE most powerful people in the world without so much as a "Get ready", it's understandable that fact made the Major general a bit on edge.

"I don't known sir, i only know the sliver haired one goes by the name Ursula and she's, well sir, she is actually a dragon."

The older man raised an eyebrow but accepted his soldier's answer, honestly after everything he's seen up until now, he was pretty much ready to believe just about anything.

"Strange as it sounds, i can attest that she is indeed a dragon, Major."

Erwin spoke up, knowing full well the general would have a hard time believing and the only reason he believe it, was because he'd seen her transform into one during the battle of New York. Having personally lead the Scouts against Loki's army, while backing up Xero and Gudako's Servants and knowing he was fighting alongside reborn legends...it changed things.

It changed everything.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE GODS IS THAT THING?!"

Lionheart was unable to hold back his fear, gasping as he saw the large and terrifying wolf before them all, making everyone look at the Avenger class Servant.

Lobo himself growled in angry with the fur on his back standing up, looking at all the humans before him, feeling his blood boil and his power starting to rise with his blood pressure. The few humans his master/pup had him become comrades with and his fellow Servants but due to the sheer amount of disgusting human smell entering his nose, i almost became too much for the Servant to hold himself back from going on a complete rampage.

The fact, some of these humans wanted to hurt or worse, control his PUP only made his blood boil to new heights he hadn't felt, since he lost his beloved mate, Blanca.

He had a hard enough time dealing with the other Servants and recently, the Avengers themselves. Sure, he could tolerate them so long as they stayed out of his personal space and he, theirs. A simple solution to a simple problem, at least to him anyway. Some of the Avengers, like that Logan man, Banner and his master/pup's...father, he could to tolerate.

If only barely.

While he did not considered Tony, his pup's REAL father, Lobo knew it would be hypocritical of him, to believe he would never hurt his master/pup. Lobo hated humans, as they had only hurt him and those he cared for, thus he distrusted ALL humans. He could still shamefully remember the taste of his pup's blood, when he originally fought against Xero in the Shinjuku Singularity.

He remember, biting down on his pup's leg and nearly tearing if off! in a fit of rage. Thankfully he was stopped and yet, despite having ever reason to hate him and distrust him, his master/pup still welcomed him to Chaldea with open arms.

Something the Avenger couldn't understand but decide to just go with it, swearing that no harm shall befall HIS pup.

Not while he was around!

That woman, the one that was wearing his pup's face and the golden eyed one in the red dress only worsened his mood. One reeked of nothing but pure LUST, ENVY and worst of all, GREED. Greed for what, he knew not but it was making bile rise up in his throat and his rider was feeling the same. The other one, the one that DARED to wear HIS pup's face, reeked of, not greed or lust but FEAR.

More so, then that bearded humanoid that had yelled at him. The black haired human hid it well but it was that much easier for Lobo to smell/sense the fear within her. In fact, he could smell a lot of fear from the humans in suits, some more then others, while he could smell another emotion. The was the scent of fear...excitement? Reverence?

Hmmm, odd.

Then again, the king could never understand how humans worked, both when he was alive and as a Servant. Even his pup at times, made very little sense to Lobo but hey, he couldn't find it in himself to care.

Idly, the Avenger class Servant noticed that one of the sources of the reverence scent was coming from the blonde male and brown haired man. Eren Jeager and Armin Alert if he remembered right.

Hmmm.

"As much as i like to rip all these humans apart, it would be how would master say it...counterproductive."

Gorgon said with a smirk, as the humans from Earth looked at her with wide eyes, fear clear in their eyes at knowing full well WHO she was. while those from Remnant looked at her with mixed emotions. Some with fear, others shock, disgust was of course coming from the councillor's of the kingdoms, the Schnee's(All of them, why wasn't she surprised but at least the two male Schnee were honest about, rather then trying to hide their disgust, unlike the sisters) curiosity and reverence?

No, not reverence.

Those hooded half animals might put up a good mask but Gorgon was no fool, she took one look at the duo and knew, those two more then likely wanted to use her in some way. Perhaps to use her as some sort of beacon to draw in more recruits or even to make her as a symbol of some sort of foolish supremacist movement for their little cult.

"Like i let that happen."

She only had one master and it was not these two. Her loyalty was to her master and everything else, besides her sisters, could fuck off. True, she was a goddess, well a demi-goddess but that was beside the point, so it was only natural that people would want to use her for their own gain but unlike most gods, she had no intention of letting that happen. Not now or ever for that matter.

Let alone by some shit bags that weren't even apart of her own world.

"I have a feeling these White Fang idiots will become a problem in the future, how annoying."

Oh well, if they caused problems, Gorgon was sure her master would let her take a couple of snacks. She wondered what Faunus tasted like.

"Right well..."

Xero took a deep breath after making sure Lobo wouldn't go on a rampage, as many of his Servants took a step back, even Lobo and his rider, knowing full well what was about to happen and quite a few of them were grinning in anticipation. Those around him, were unlucky as they were completely unaware of what was about to happen, as the teen then yelled in a very comical manner:

"IT'S ALL BB'S FAULT! THAT DAMNED IDIOT AI!"

Everyone had to cover their eyes at the black haired teen's sudden yelling, many not expecting, nor seeing it coming till it was too late.

"Hey! Who you calling an idiot and why are always blaming me?"

Said AI glared at her "senpai" as he glared right back,"Since when are you NOT involved in some shape or form?! Name ONE time where something happened like this and it WASN'T you're fault!"

BB's face comically turned red, as she turned her noise at her master and said,"Well i'll have you known, without me you'd be board out of you're skull and be deprived of you're best kouhai."

"Hmmm, yeah no. I've got Mash here, so you're not needed."

Xero said, as he hugged said girl close to his side, making her blush up a storm but smile at his comment. BB's response was to blow a rasberry at Mash, while the Curator rolled his eyes but smiled,"Now dear, that is enough, i do believe it's time we answer these people just why we brought them here. I'm sure you all have lost of questions."

"Wait, that was you?"

President Ellis said, looking at the older man,"You brought us here? Why and who or WHAT are you?"

Smiling, the Curator spoke,"I did indeed bring you here and as young Xero here already knows me, you all can believe me when i say my name or what you can call me is the Curator and i welcome you all, to my repository. I am the Curator of stories, the guardian and keeper of all these wonderful stories that have come and ended over these many eons. Ones of love and hate, adventure and horror, greed and beauty, life...and death. Stories, much like this one, the lives of you people and the new age the world of Remnant and Earth has come into."

"The hell you talking about human?"

Adam spat out, as the Curator merely ignored him and said,"To put it simply, Mr. Taurus, i am here to record the stories you all chose to tell. You see, the lives you all lead, have created a new tale and this is merely the beginning of said tale. The attack on the summit could not have been avoid, because it would have happened one way or another. It is only thanks to director Fury, Commander Erwin and young Xero's planning, was the loss of life not so great. Believe me it could have been quite a bloodbath, had they not planned ahead of time but the lives lost were not in vain, i assure you and the actions they have took, will see HYDRA fall for good this time around."

"Yikes, a bit morbid, don't you think?"

Bucky asked, as Curator nodded,"It is but you see, we all make choices based on our own morale compass and we have to live with those decisions or quite possible, die by them. But death shouldn't be feared, after all it is inevitable. It is the tax, one pays for having lived and death comes to all, eventually."

He paused for a second before sparing a knowing look towards Ozpins and a certain queen of the Shadow Land, which said queen looked at him with an annoyed look on her prefect, pretty face,"Well, most of us anyway."

"If only."

Scathach said, mostly to herself, while her Caster self sent the Lancer a sympathetic towards her. If only that were true for her, while Ozpin nodded his head in agreement. While he may not understand WHY he felt some sort of kinship with the red eyed woman, he could understand the longing and wanting for death.

If only he could stay dead too.

Shaking his head, the older man looked back at everyone else and spoke,"Still...regardless of that, we do not want death to come to us too soon, do we? After all you should know that every action, every choice you make matters. The choices you all make, WILL effect others and be they big or small, they do matter."

"We already known that, so why are you telling us that?"

The Chinese ambassador asked, looking confused as to why this odd man would state the obvious. The head of defense for the US, Edgar Simmons threw his own two cents in,"And that still doesn't explain why you brought us here."

"Because it's to make you all realize just how much each and every single one of you, along with every other person in the world owns my senpai, big time."

BB cut in, grinning like a devil as she dramatically pointed her finger at her master, who's eyes narrowed in suspicion. No, no way, there's no way she could be referring too-

"Really?"

Senator Kelly scoffed with a roll of his eyes,"Okay he may have saved the world from Loki's army but-"

"Three actually."

Blinking, the senator looked at the purple haired girl, who was still grinning and held up three gloved fingers,"You and the rest of the puny human race own my senpai THREE life debts and it's truly funny, that none of you even realize just how screwed you all were, if not for my senpai."

"Forgive me lady BB, but you forgot my own mistress, helped lord Xero."

The Lancer version of Diarmuid spoke, slightly glaring at the Moon Cancer Servant, who merely waved him off,"Maybe but let's be honest, senpai was the primary master and you're mistress, the secondary. Honestly she wasn't even in the top ten master candidates and senpai was candidate number 3. Due be sure to remember that."

"Watch if Moon Cancer, i will not have something like you, insult my precious vessel."

The King of Kings growled, having never liked nor trusted this particular Servant. The purple Sakura faced Servant merely smiled, not showing a hint of fear towards the powerful Rider, while everyone else shuddered at feeling the wave of power coming from the king. He was not someone, one should mess with lightly. Even the huntsman present and mutants knew this, without having to see the man in action.

The aura he gave off, was just that powerful.

This caused many(Those without super powers at least) feel the urge to drop to their knee's and bow to the great king of kings, while feeling ever bone, every cell in their bodies was screaming:

"DON'T piss this guy off, runaway you will die!"

The Faunus had it the worst of all, as their animal instincts were saying such things, trying to get them to either run or bow in submission to the king.

Those with power, also felt the same, but thanks to their own powers weren't as effected as the normal people were, but never the less felt the urge to submit to this powerful man. Some of the huntsman, like the headmaster's, Ozpin's group and some of the Avengers felt their "Fight of flight" instincts kick in but were unable to move a muscle.

It was only because the great king did not direct his gaze towards them.

For now.

But there were those that felt...certain parts of their bodies react to the Rider's powerful aura and their cheeks were heated up as a result.

Those being people like Raven and Cinder, who craved power for different reasons, felt their cheeks heat up a bit at the same time. How curious.

"Well if you're done measuring dicks, can we get back to WHY you brought us here?"

Fury asked in irritation, not at all amused by the banter. The head of the Russia's guard detail, an veteran soldier with graying hair by the name of Mikhail Viktor merely grinned as he watched the events unfold, looking like he was having the time of his life,"Ha, i fail to see the problem Director Fury, i for one find myself enjoying it."

"Maybe if you all stopped flapping you're gums and acting like chickens with their heads cut off, he'd tell us."

Came the sassy voice of Mysterious Heroine X Alter aka X Alter or sometimes, Xalter, as she spoke in her usual deadpan tone. Some snorted but no one could disagree with her logic.

The Altered Servant merely looked towards her master, completely ignoring everything and everyone else and said master knew what she wanted. Without even thinking about it, Xero patted the pale blonde, sliver haired girl on the head making her purr a little, like an overgrown cat. Something that had a certain Greek Archer and Berserker self feel a spike of jealousy run up their spines.

Well the Archer one did, as she was still a tab bit too proud to ask for her master's heavenly head pats, while her Berserker self had no problem with asking for it. Without pause, the armored version of Atalanta walked towards her master and spoke,"Master..."

Not needing to be told, Xero's unoccupied hand went to the Berserker's head and made sure to lovingly rubbed her head, while making sure to scratch the sweet spot behind her right ear, making her purr like her fellow Berserker. It even brought a small smile to the beastly woman's face, as she basked in the feeling of pure bliss washing over her.

Naturally the sight got quite a few strange looks and a few fond smiles.

But it also caused a quite a few Faunus to look displeased, those in the White Fang to sneer at seeing a fellow "Faunus" acting like a common house pet and even some uncomfortable looks. The last one was coming from Blake, Sun and Ghira of course. All the while Kali merely smiled at the scene, seeing nothing wrong with the scene, despite certain implications.

She didn't judge.

Unlike her mother, Blake didn't like to see such sights, as it would only reinforced many racist's views on the Faunus and would go in the wrong direction for her. But she wouldn't try to force her views on another Faunus, simply because it made her uncomfortable or because it could send the wrong message.

She wasn't Adam.

But she would be lying if she said, the scene before her didn't bother her, as it was the kind of thing she fought to prevent. The enslavement of Faunus kind of course and while it was a noble goal, there were cases where something that LOOKS like it's enslavement or something akin to a human taking a Faunus as a pet, that doesn't mean it was forced per-say.

Some Faunus out there and humans had their own wired, shameful kinks and what not.

Blake knew she shouldn't judge others, given her own taste in things like her reading "Material" but watching the master and Berserker interact rubbed her the wrong way. She spent the better part of ten years of her life fighting to prevent this sort of things from happening, even though it really amounted to nothing, Blake felt like the Berserker was spitting on not only her efforts but her parents and the rest of the White Fang's efforts for Faunus equality.

Even if that said "Faunus" was from another world.

But she wouldn't dare try to say anything about it otherwise or even get close, as Xero was laying his back on the giant wolf's stomach, while it growled at anyone(That wasn't a Servant) like a papa wolf guarding his pups. Blake didn't like(Read between the lines, hate) dogs and wolves were basically the first form of dogs with a more feral, wild versions of them.

She never did like dogs and seeing a much bigger, stronger version of one that was barely five feet from her made Blake clamp up and clamp up tight. Forgot what she believed in, there was no one in hell, she was going near Xero or his massive guard dog, wolf? thing and it's headless rider.

Of course, why not headless, it had to be headless.

Plus said Faunus had all of Blake's instincts were basically screaming at her:

DO NOT FIGHT HER, RUN AWAY, YOU WILL DIE.

Not a good way to inspire confidence and hers was already shot to hell as it was. Of course everyone else looked at the scene with either raised eyebrows, some misplaced smugness as if that scene proved them right(The racists asshats of the group from Remnant), some with disapproval of such behavior, others with anger at the sight and the rest looked a bit awkward, not sure if it was a good idea to speak or not, least they get an angry Berserker upon their person.

They'd seen the power she showed during the invasion of New York, none of them wanted the Archer turn Berserker to smash her fist into their faces.

Though the scene did leave quite a few Servants pouting, along with Gudako and Asia, while Pieck merely smiled in amusement at the scene, mentally wondering if she could get a picture of this and how fast she could save it, before the Berserker would descended on her.

Even if the Berserker would kill her for taking the picture, it would be totally worth it. Idly, Pieck wondered how quick she have to be, in order to claim his lap, before one of the others realize there was still room. Armor or not, his lap was very comfy place to lay her head down to nap on and could sleep there for hours without a care in the world.

The point is, his lap became one of her favortie places to nap.

As for Mikasa, she looked at the scene with and pressed her full lips together, not really speaking but if one watched her eyes, they could see the power of the Summer Maiden threating to spill out. Armin of course, saw this and quickly tapped Eren's shoulder and motioned towards the black haired woman, making the duo try to quietly came her down, by rubbing her shoulders.

"It's very possible you're new power came from Remnant itself, so it be best that we keep it hidden from them. Magic has a certain allure and many who seek it, don't always have the best intentions in mind. It came to you, for whatever reason and if you could gain it, there's no telling what others will do to take you're new found power Mikasa and that's not mentioning people from our own world, will do to once they see you wield magic all of a sudden. We need more info on what we're dealing with, so for now, i'd advise you to try and stay low for the moment."

Naturally, the black haired woman agreed to the plan, as it made a lot of sense. While they only had a limited amount of time to study Mikasa's new found abilities, it was discovered her power over the elements are basically the same as Ororo's mutant power. The only real difference was that Ororo's power was a result of mutation and Mikasa's was magical in nature.

Not that anyone could tell the difference between the two.

Thankfully, they could pass off her new found powers as a latent mutation that was awakened during the invasion of New York. The extreme stress of fighting non-stop, an alien god invading and having to fight off an entire army was as stressful as it could get, thus awakening her power. Because of this, she would be transferred to the Avengers for training to use her new power.

Official anyway.

Un-official, everyone in SHEILD was to probe and go over the information the Servants had gathered from Remnant, to see if their was some kind of connection between Mikasa's sudden bout of magical power. That is, if the magic itself came from Remnant and while it was highly unlikely it was from Earth, that didn't mean it wasn't possible.

But Xero, Gudako and all their Casters doubted it. This magic...it was different, different from theirs and wasn't normal by any means.

Nobody needed to question WHY he suggested she keep her magic under wraps. All you would need to do is look at people's reaction to new things or magic in general and given that she works for the world's most paranoid man on the planet, she didn't argue.

No one did.

It didn't help it was very possible and highly likely this magic came from Remnant itself, thus would possible become a political nightmare. Hell they might even try to demand Mikasa come with them back to Remnant, simply because she is in possession of their magical power. Though of course, that would never happen, as SHEILD never willingly give up one of it's finest soldiers, the soldier herself would never willingly relinquish her position as a new member of the Avengers.

Training to be one anyway.

"Ah man, that guy is so lucky."

Neptune Vasilias grumbled, as his best friend and leader, Sun Wukong elbow the blue haired boy and hissed,"Be cool dude. You saw what these guys can do, do you really want to piss them off?"

"Don't answer that, we already know the answer."

Sage Ayana said, looking around the room, wondering what they where they were and why they were here. Their fourth member, Scarlt David said nothing, as he was wondering the same.

"It looks like some kind of library meshed with a threater room. How'd did we get here?"

Jaune asked out loud, rubbing his head in confusion, as Ren hummed before answering,"If i had to take a guess, it is very possible Mr. Mazoku had something to do with this."

"Because he has magic?"

Nora asked, as Ren nodded, while Pyrrha cupped her chin,"I don't want to point fingers and a semblance could also be the cause of this. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see, but he looks just as confused as the rest of us."

"That he does, so it probably wasn't him. Even then it doesn't completely rule out magic being the cause, as i'm sure Mr. Mazoku and his sister aren't the only ones that can use it in this world."

Ren said, as a certain strawberry redhead asked the purple haired Servant,"What exactly planning to do BB?"

Pepper asked, while Xero and Gudako felt dread filling his stomach, a feeling they only felt right before something really horrible, bad or very...interesting happened to the duo.

"Why, we're going to show you senpai's past of course! From his time in Chaldea, to the burden of being a master and how his magic works and what makes him better then all of you, regardless if some of you think they're freaks or not. All the while, you all get to learn the true history of the world AND the truth behind of legendary figures, isn't that exciting?"

And just like that, the temperature in the room dropped like a rock in the ocean. While many wanted to know just how the duo's magic worked, many with less then pure intentions, others like Tony, Steve, Sam and Bruce merely wanted to understand the two masters.

At one point, all the Avengers and Pepper had seen the scars marred to Xero's and Gudako's bodies. Those scars weren't the kind of scars that you get while training, those were battle scars. Something Steve and Sam can say without a doubt, they'd been nearly killed.

More then once.

A fact that scared Tony and Pepper to a level that could only be described as a parents worry. Despite Pepper attempting to broach the subject slowly or Tony just outright asking about HOW they got those scars, they would either deflect it with jokes or refuse to answer at all. Xero either making a snarky comment, a pun or just ignore the question entirely, while Gudako merely laughed it off.

The rest of the Avengers tried to coax the truth out of the two and even going so far to go to their Servants but all they said was this:

"It's not our place to say. If master/mistress wants you to known, you'll known, not a second later."

Basically, they'll tell them when their ready to tell them. Pepper understood that and was more then willingly to let her adopted children set the pace. Tony understood that too but it was becoming more and more frustrating as time went on, even after the battle of New York. It was galling to Tony, as he had ever right to know if something about his kid.

Especially when that something, could potentially cause both his kids a lot of pain. JARVIS had more then once, reported to Tony about his son waking up in the middle of the night and without missing a beat, raiding his liquor cabinet.

Not that Xero could get drunk, thanks to his magic creating a filter within his body, to combat ANY foreign substances that invade his body. It was partially because of the ritual his mother preformed to save him from his incurable disease, his magic being used more internally then most Magus rather then purely outwardly then most Magus and Semiramis poisoning him daily. Not enough to kill him per-say but enough to help his body grew resist and it keep growing, to the point he could surivie touching Serenity and basically becoming immune to all the world's poison.

In a lot of ways, it was like Logan's healing factor only purely for foreign substance like virus's, poison and sadly medicine too.

The wise queen of Assyrian did not like the idea of her master dying to something so simple as poison. The sheer embarrassment would be too much for the Assassin to bear.

...Oh and him dying would be pretty bad too but the embarrassment would be just as bad.

Maybe more?

Yeah her master dying of poison was worse then him just simply dying, as she would never be able to live it down. Mordred would most certainly make sure to remind the Assassin of her greatest failure.

Damn blonde.

Though him growing more and more immune to poison, also helped him grow immune to the effects of alcohol, to the point he could no longer get drunk.

Even selfish reasoning and actions can have positive impacts.

One of those impacts was his mana removing any and all foreign substances within his body also meant her master could no longer get sick but also couldn't take medicine either. Ultimately that meant nothing right now, as the Assassin was looked like she was ready to unleash her Noble Phantasm on the cocky Moon Cancer, with a very crossed look on her pretty prefect face.

"Moon Cancer...you'd best have a damned good reason as to WHY you're putting our master in grave danger."

That caught everyone's attention at the title the black haired woman called the purple haired one.

Moon Cancer?

What kind of title was that? Originally, many believed they heard it wrong but to hear it a second time, confirmed that this "BB" person was a "Moon Cancer" whatever that meant. But before they could voice that, Ember spoke,"Oh i do have to agree with the Assassin on this one, what you're doing, if it is what i think it is, then all you're doing is putting an even bigger target on my brother in law's back."

"More then he already has?"

BB questioned, crossing her arms under her sizeable bust, rasing an eyebrow,"Do you think i'm so foolish as to believe this beloved kohai doesn't know what she's doing? It honestly doesn't matter what senpai does, as many humans are either too stupid, foolish or arrogant for their own good, they'll keep coming no matter what? So i thought to myself 'BB, how do you fix such a problem? How do you prevent you're dear senpai from becoming a fugitive or lab rat, when those who would treat him as such, no matter what he does or his intentions are? Even if he does everything right, those in power or otherwise would still brand him a criminal and enemy of humanity, when it couldn't be farther from the truth?' Then it hit me: Senpai doesn't have anything to prove, because he has ALREADY proven he is on humanity's side or at the very least, he isn't some super duper evil doer like that Erik guy or some nutcase hell bent on destroying the world like the Red Skull. Which is a dumb name by the way and completely unoriginal. But seriously, it would be very counterproductive to save the world, then turn around and destroy it. That just makes no sense at all."

"Since when does something have to make sense, in order for you to do something bad?"

Gudako asked, a frown playing on her lips as she clenched her fist,"I hate to say it Assassin, Lancer but BB does have a point. No matter what we do, no matter how much we help people, their will always be those who either seek to destroy or control us for our power. Once they realize it's impossible for them to take our power, they'll either try to control us or find other Magus that can use the same power, even though all those who COULD have done the same are dead, it won't stop them from trying. Hell that's not taking in account of other Magus coming after us too, just to see what we'll do. Even if we destroyed all evil in the world, discovered the cure for cancer, solved world hunger and even found the secrets of the universe as to why were here and STILL we'd be treated like we're the devil herself."

"But why?!"

Ruby suddenly blurted out, with Penny nodding her head, unable to understand why anyone would call them criminals if they did all that. Seeing an ally, Ruby inclined her head towards the android, who spoke,"From what iv'e read, despite Mr. Mazoku's...methods, you cannot deny he has done so much good for Earth. He has wiped out entire drug cartel's, ousted corrupt politicians and in nearly two years, has saved nearly thousands of good, innocent people. In fact the research i have conducted has revealed that the crime rate has dropped around the world by 73% and New York itself has become one of the safest cities on the entire planet. True he breaks international and violates due process rights but the overwhelming amount of results show that Mr. Mazoku is indeed a hero of the people, if nothing else."

"Yeah!"

Ruby yelled,"Sure he breaks the law but doesn't the good out weight the wrong? Hasn't Xero proven he isn't the monster some people claim him to be?"

"It's because he can't be controlled kid."

Levi cut in, before anyone could try to come up with a counter argument. Glaring at the bureaucrats as he spoke,"It's true Xero has done a lot of good for humanity. Good that has earned him the benefit of a doubt, but because of how he operates, his popularity amongst the common folk and the simple fact he uses magic, means he's an enemy to those in power. The fact he's more popular then them makes him an enemy and the fact he makes it a habit to take down the ones who abuse their power, makes him an enemy to all politicians or at the very least, those who abuse their power and kill innocent people. They don't like it, because they're afraid of him and the fact he can't be controlled, means they want him dead for daring to have a unique power they don't. No offense brat, but this isn't Remnant and you've got a lot to learn, if you want to survive here. You never known who's going to stab you in the back to make a quick buck or are even being threaten. I'm not going to lie, a lot of people are going to be gunning for Xero, not just because of greed but because of some asshole threating or simply put, strong arming them into attacking the kid, to kept their own involvement a secret or to test his skills. Either way you look at it, whether he is accepted by the public, government and world as a whole, they're will always be those who want to kill him and his sister, simply because they have magic and they aren't above using dirty tricks either. Nor twisting the law to their favor or winding up everyone else into attacking them."

"But that's not fair! Why would they do that?"

"Because their afraid young lady."

Erwin said with a deep sigh, pinching his nose in annoyance,"Throughout history, humanity has always feared what it doesn't understand and if that couldn't be controlled, then they destroy it, despite the fact we CAN work together. Allowing us to do great things that could benefit all of mankind as a whole, if it was just left alone. Thankful director Fury has seen fit to try it this way."

"And it's worked out pretty well so far."

Hange said with a bright smile, even if it looked a bit brittle, as she looked at Kelly and Trask,"Despite this, some are still trying to ruin what we've got going. Like Levi said, no matter what we do, no matter what THEY do, Xero-chan and Gudako will always been seen as an enemy. Even when he's proven to be our greatest ally time and time again, some people just won't accept them and will seek to either discredit or kill them."

"Honestly red, i know you're young but you can't be THIS naive."

Roman said, clearly agreeing with the soldiers, before he mocked froze for a second, as he spoke,"Oh wait, you ARE that naive, cause you haven't truly experienced the real world yet. The real world is cold, it doesn't care about spirit and it WILL tear you apart at a moments notice, if you're too stupid to see it coming. Reaper and Mage know that for a fact, don't ya?"

"That fact is one of the many reasons why i don't like working with the government or any organization for that matter. The moment you become a liability or prove you can't be controlled, they do away with you in anyway they can. Be it public humiliation, frame job to make everyone turn on you so you have no where you can go without the threat of being captured and killed or simply killed off quietly, via stabbing in the back. And don't any of you bother try to say otherwise, you and i both know that for all you're so called 'honor' and 'integrity', you all turn on people who have either unique power, position in leadership or could be a threat to you're own power in whatever form that may be. History has proven that time and time again with my first partner Jeanne d'Arc being a prefect example of that."

Xero said coldly, making Ruby wither a little, as Roman looked very smug and the leaders of the world to grit their teeth at the truth the young man forced them to face, even if they would have loved to deny it. Jeanne, the Ruler version, said nothing, merely looked calm at what her master/lover said but didn't deny it, as the other versions of her nodded in agreement with their master. Though the Avenger and Berserker versions were grinning at seeing their master show his backbone to a bunch of self entitled pricks.

It was amusing and hot at the same time.

The littlest of the Jeanne's aka J-lily, merely nodded rapidly with what Mister Reindeer. Despite being young, she knew of her original self's history. Even if it wasn't a very good one.

"With many more examples i can think of but Jeanne's own death was simply off the top of my head, as i can go on and on with a list as long as the Ipoh tower but we'd be here all day."

"Believe us, if you look back at history, you will find the truth within those words. Even some 'monsters' were simply labeled as such, because they refused to allow themselves to be killed, even after the so called 'heroes' invaded THEIR home, for no other reason then to kill them."

Dantes spoke, glaring under his fedora, daring anyone to try and say otherwise. As you can image, no one did, as the Avenger's naturally intimidating aura made even the foolish ones, clamp up and clamp up tight.

"And how do we know, the monsters wouldn't have just ventured out and killed people without people trying to kill them first."

Weiss tried to counter, unwillingly to give up so easily in this argument. To her, it sounded a little too much like the White Fang making justifications for their actions in hunting the SDC. She was already getting tired of listening to those who spoke up in Mazoku's defense, trying to paint him as some sort of hero, despite breaking all kinds of laws. Killing people in power, to protect the common folk and ignoring the proper authorities, just because something bad happened to people like him nearly hundreds ago?

It sounded like a bad joke and something a criminal would say, simply to justify their actions.

Even if any of that were true, it didn't change the fact Mazoku broke the law and was therefore, a criminal. That and Weiss was secretly hoping she could sway some of those "Servants" of his, so she could bring the SDC back to glory and take control from her father. It was clear that Mazoku was unstable and could become a sever security risk to Remnant when he admitted, he let that BB woman hack into the most secure files within Remnant.

Their talent and power was wasted on that brute and in Weiss's personal opinion, believed she could make MUCH better use of those Servants power. She wasn't sure what it would take but Weiss thought she make a better master, then Mazoku.

"Because we didn't have too. Why venture out, when all those foolish humans would come to US, seeking fame and glory by 'defeating' the big bad monster. Like Gudako said, we could solve all the world's evil's and you humans would STILL see us as the villains, no matter what we do. So...why should we even try to change that, when it's clear you fools would still try to kill us, no matter what."

"Exactly!"

BB yelled gleefully, as her senpai and his friends drove the knife deeper, with her taking ahold of it as she dramatically spun around, pointing a finger at the group from Remnant, ignoring the scowls of a select few from Earth, Weiss gritting her teeth and more then a few that looked of ashamed of the dark truth of their world"Then there's our new neighbors from another world! Let's start with the most obvious of them all...ATLAS! Don't deny it, we've researched Remnant's history and it's no secret that Atlas is a militarism kingdom, focusing mostly on it's military power. Even though nobody says it, it's clear to even the most foolish humans, that Atlas doesn't play fair or share it's resources without a price. Even then, you squeeze everyone else for all there worth and if someone dare show something unique, you in all you're pettiness want to either control it or destroy it, to deny everyone else it's use."

"How dare you!"

Before James could stop him, Jacques shot up and glared at the grinning Moon Cancer,"Atlas is the pinnacle of human achievement! Without Atlas or the SDC, Remnant wouldn't even be here now."

"Maybe, maybe not."

BB waved off the comment, grinning as she looked at the Curator,"Mr. Curator, is it possible for Remnant to move forward, to achieve it's current era, WITHOUT Atlas or the SDC."

"Infinite number of realties, infinite number of possibilities."

Their mysterious host said, placing a hand on one of the books, that were on the selves,"In a good number of those realties, the SDC, the Schnee family and even Atlas do not exist and despite this, Remnant was in fact not only able to move forward but achieved far more then the current one has. Without Mantle to back Mistral, the bloody great war did not last as long as it did. The Faunus gained equal rights much faster and humanity as a whole, banded together to fight the Grimm."

His answer left many stunned and Jacques gritting teeth so hard, he looked like he was ready to throw away his image, just to slap the smug smile off of BB's face.

"Though naturally, there are a few realties, were Remnant fell into complete disaster and the human and Faunus race ended then and there."

"Spoil my fun, why don't ya."

BB grumbled, as the Curator added that last bit, making the people of Remnant wince a little, silently happy they were in the reality they were born in, rather then the one where humanity and Remnant were destroyed. Even if that little nugget of information left some feeling a bit queasy.

"Ok, that's good to know and all but in case you haven't realized, master-kun hasn't signed off on you're little plan BB."

Da Vinic Rider said, looking at her strangely quite master, who looked like he was in deep thought. His mind was whirling with thoughts, predicting ever possible outcome that could come about if the truth was revealed and how it would plan into their current situation. After a few minutes of some long, hard thinking the primary master of Chaldea finally spoke,"What's the catch?"

"Catch? What catch senpai, i'm only trying to help."

BB said innocently, thought she didn't fool Xero, who gave her a stern look, making her squirm under his gaze, as everyone looked shocked at Xero. His Servant's most of all, he was actually considering this?

"Well mongrel, are you sure you want to do this?"

Archer Gilgamesh couldn't help but grin, feeling his curiosity being peaked, wondering how this will play out. What his master was about to do, was uproot hundreds if not thousands of years of secrecy AND make himself invaluable to all of Earth's countries as a whole. Even Remnant's too, as they still had to deal with, not only the one who sent Loki to invade Earth but the Umbral Star as well.

"Oi, oi! Human, are you sure about this?"

Ibaraki spoke, trying and failing to hide her concern for HER human,"If you do this, there's no going back. You know that right? Everything WILL change."

"I am, no matter how i look at it, this is my best card to play."

"Xero-sama...are you sure?"

Tomoe asked, grabbed his shoulder, worry shining in her beautiful red eyes,"We can find another way, one that won't do too much damage."

Xero sighed deeply, slumping a little, looking like he'd age several decades,"I am sure Archer, i had enough time to run the numbers in my head and honestly, this course of action is our best bet truth be told. These fools can't or won't understand the reality of how magic works and won't leave us be, no matter what we do. So, we show them just WHAT kind of power they want oh so badly and how dangerous it really is, FORCING them to see the reality of the situation. Right now, with all eyes on me, even though i'm a terrible liar, they won't believe me, no matter what i say or do. Memories though...they don't lie and if BB can show these idiots the truth, then fine."

The young Mazoku turned and glared at the diplomats and leaders of the world,"You think magic is some type of gun, able to be picked up and used by anyone but it's not. Magic alone isn't something as simple as that and despite how i make it look, it is NOT easy to use. My Servants, my friends power is even MORE difficult and quite frankly, much more dangerous to use then normal magic. Even for someone like me, who has decades upon decades of magical blood running through my veins. You want to see what i can do, fucking fine!"

Xero wasn't the type to let his temper get the better of him but the past few weeks have been trying on his nerves, to the point he just didn't really care for restraint at the moment. If these idiots wanted his power, fine! But they couldn't just pick and chose the parts they liked, they had to accept all the aspects of both, using magic and Servants.

All of them!

He loved his Servants, he really did but FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK can they be stressful and tiring to deal with. But they were(In his mind at least) well worth the effort he put in to take care of them and love them all, just as much as they loved him.

Then again, if something was easy then it wouldn't be worth the effort, would it now?

"And for the record, you can call me 'Xero' since we're, ya know."

The black haired teen spoke, looking back to the sliver haired Archer and indicated towards his ring finger, where a golden band with a small gem that was rainbow in color that resided on his finger. While it was true, they weren't legally married in the eyes of the law, the ring on his finger was a special one. It was designed by the Casters, to not only act as a tracker of sorts, if for whatever reason they couldn't track him through their bond, the gem would change color ever time he "Married" one of his Servants or anyone else. The color it would take on, would be the Servants eye color, hence why it turned into a rainbow color.

It started after Artoria proposed to him, many others followed suit and wanted proof of marriage and of course since the Saber had given him her sheath. Of course it was Da Vinic and her Rider self that came up with the ring idea, while Medea and Irisviel created the ring itself but it was Merlin that forged the gem, funny enough.

Nobu of course, wanted something a lot more extravagant, more grander and spectacular but thankful Otika(The Saber one at least) was able to talk her down, much to the Archer's annoyance. Nero did too but Xero was able to talk her out of it, even if she was so instant on it, wanting the entire world know. She was silly like that and narcissist but wasn't too arrogant not to listen to reason. Though he did let Cleopatra engrave the ring with her unique brand of Egyptian signature. The gem itself came from Ishtar, from her massive collection of gems and while she would never part with them willingly for the most part, she made an exception.

Though they had to make two rings, as Xero wasn't the only one to have a harem after all.

What?

Are you surprised to hear that?

Xero wasn't the only one to have a harem, as Gudako had her own formed with her Servants, even if they themselves were lovers too. All their Servants worked hard with them and without a doubt, deserved some much needed love. There was no denying Xero loved Gudako deeply, with her being the one he named his "conscious".

Someone to who stop him, if he ever went too far. Someone to make sure his "Magus" side didn't push him too far into the deprived acts many Magus find acceptable and if needed, would end him if he could not be brought back to the light. Sure his Servants could do that but the fear of them being either, to blinded or unable to do anything was just too great.

Servants, despite their human origins, would at times, not see things from a human perspective. Especially those that had divine and demonic origins. Despite all his power, Xero was still a human being. Servants...were just simply no longer human.

Sad but true.

In a sense, the redhead would be his living moral compass that would make sure he kept to the path they've walked.

As for Gudako, Xero was her rock in the new world she found, when she first came to Chaldea. Despite being a bit harsh to her at first, Xero became someone she could also relay on and knew, no matter what happened, he would also be on her side. Someone she knew she could trust and was actually her first, real friend in a brand new world.

Who later became her lover but despite that, she could not deny any of her dear, loyal Servants her love either. Much like how Xero was able to charm many of his Sevrants, Gudako did her own unintentional charming and as the saying went:

The heart wants, what the heart wants.

Master's and Servants were basically stuck together forever and with their connection to one another, it make sense for love to form between them. The fact Master's have to deepen their bonds with the Servants, to increase their power to the fullest. It was only naturally, for people who spend so much time together and forming deep bonds with one another, to fall in love.

Even more so between Master's and Servants.

It was just a matter of waiting for both master's to come of age, aka Xero becoming seventeen and Gudako sixteen, now both nearly pushing towards eighteen and seventeen respectfully.

Despite having worked for years at Chaldea, traveling through, back and forward in time tended to fuck with you're ability to age and when all was said and done, they'd reverted back to their original ages before they began the Grand Order.

Like it never happened but that was a story for another time.

Plus they both knew, they were pretty much fucked the fucked up in the head, as their quest to save the world had worn down their minds, bodies, sanity and souls. They would never be able live normal lives, nor find love in normal people. Not like anyone would be able to match up to the people they've spent years with and have shed sweat, blood and tears with on a daily bases.

It just wasn't possible. They've given a lot to save and protect humanity, thus the duo believed they've earned their reward. Something their Servants agreed wholeheartedly and there was no denying, Xero and Gudako were basically yin and yang.

One could not live without the other and needed each other to survive.

That's what war did to people and both walked away with their own sets of scars. Marrying and accepting the love of their many Servants was a good way to help heal those scars, even if they would never fully heal, they could dull the pain on both masters. But that didn't change the fact, Gudako had been married to more then a couple of his male Servants and basically stole them from him, without actually stealing they themselves or loyalty to him.

They were just as loyal to her, as they were to him.

That was probably because he had enchanted some of her female ones, so she got her revenge. Regardless their father wasn't sure if he should be proud and happy for his kids or be horrified that they BOTH had mixed harems. Pepper merely settled on being happy for the two and believed they had earned it, though it was only those two knew about the marriage between masters and Servants. As it was very usual for a master to marry their Servant, the situation on HOW they become masters was beyond the norm anyway.

Ursula really didn't need a ring, as she was already married in the eyes of the dragon laws, when Xero defeated her thus becoming her mate. It didn't stop her from getting her own ring though and it was a good arrangement for all those involved. But it wasn't a well known fact and again, only Pepper and Tony knew their kids were married.

Something that was probably for the best at the moment, as they had much more worrying things to focus on and wanted to keep it on the down low at the moment, even from their fellow Avengers. It was something that was just very personal to them.

Though it didn't change the fact both had mixed harems but that was beside the point.

The woman known as Archer of Inferno merely smiled and said,"I known Xero-sama but i've simply gotten use to calling you that and it would be disrespectful."

The master merely nodded, mentally remembering the time she grew up in a different time period and much like Artoria, she was merely acting and conducting herself befitting of the era she was born in. In other words, nothing he said or did would convince Tomoe to call him Xero and just Xero. It was just how she was raised. It was old fashion but then again, she grew up in an old fashion era, didn't she?

"You do know, this will shatter everyone's view of the world right Oni-chan?"

Gudako asked, her brows furrowing,"You know i'll go with whatever you decide, but are you sure this is the right move? It could lead to things becoming more hellish?"

"And it will certainly make things more difficult for us."

Emyia Archer said, crossing his arms,"You know i'll go along with whatever you decide, but isn't this a tab bit reckless, even for you?"

Xero didn't even need to look around, to see all his friends agreeing with the Archer. They all trusted him and if he felt this was the right move, then they trust his judgement on it. He silently thanked them for their trust, as he pressed on,"Maybe but this way, people will see our side of things, rather then just assume the worst or someone else using our unknown history to fabricate a false one."

Everyone gave him questioning looks at that, with Ruby asking,"What do you mean 'you're side'?"

"Ruby...why do people fear the unknown?"

Ruby eyebrows knitted together, as she racked her brain for the answer, till her sister spoke up in her place,"Because we don't know anything about it?"

Yang answered, even if she wasn't sure it was the right answer. But Xero nodding, seemed to confirm it was the right one,"Right you are. It's natural to fear the unknown and everything we as Magus do, is shrouded in secrecy. Even from each other to a certain point. Those who don't know what it means to be a Magus, have a reasonable assumption to be afraid, because we are an unknown and that that fear, turns to hate. I'm sure you, of all people can understand that Chief Belladonna, seeing as you're people have been hunted, simply because you were an unknown to the humans."

Ghira sighed but nodded,"That is very true young man. To this day, you can still see signs of how humans first reacted to Faunus."

"A shameful part of our history but i like to think we're making strives towards correcting it."

Penny father, Pietro said as he moved his chair, spider thing towards the male master and said,"At the end of the day human, Faunus, machine it hardly matters to the Grimm. The Grimm would destroy all life on Remnant by this point, humans and Faunus not worked together to push them back. Even if a few would like to deny it, we would not be here if humans and Faunus didn't work together. Hopefully, we can do it again for no other reason, then to work for a better future."

"Yeah, well best of luck with that. If history has taught us anything, it's that most those that dare be different, unique or have some sort of supernatural ability, they are typically ostracized and hated by society before being hunted down and killed."

Olga said bluntly, making the two bearded men flinch at her blunt but truthful statement.

"And at this point, it no longer matters if we do this or not. We protected New York, stopped Loki's invasion and everyone saw Oni-chan and i using magic. There isn't any point in hiding any longer. If we don't address this right now, others who see us as a threat simply because we're unique people and can become a threat to them. So really, what it all boils down to is: Do we do this now, while we have a chance to tell our side of the story or try to hide it, letting our enemies use our silence to turn everyone against us?"

Gudako said, as Sherlock took a deep intake of his pipe and spoke as he breathed out,"Even a child would known the best course of action."

"Tell you're side of the story, before anyone tries to twist it to their advantage."

Laura said, shaking her head,"For fuck's sake, there's just no avoiding it, is there?"

"Not in this case kiddo."

Logan said to his daughter/clone, as he looked towards his leader and one of his oldest friends,"But the question remains, do YOU want to do this Xero?"

"Hell no."

Xero immediately said, eyebrows furrowing,"Seriously, who WANTS to have you're past revealed. All you're deepest, darkest secrets revealed for the entire world to see, like it's some kind of grand spectacle. Would any of you want everyone to see all the mistakes you made, all the choices you've made that leave you awake at night and be forced to remember how some choices you made caused nothing but disaster? I, under no certain terms WANT to do this but i HAVE to do this. Otherwise, i may as well put a bullet in my skull, to prevent all the horrible things that will come our way, if the world turned against us."

"We wouldn't let that happen."

Mikasa immediately said, looking distressed at what her savior said,"I-WE, wouldn't let them do it, we can keep you and Gudako safe."

"Yeah! Let them come, we'd kill them all."

Mordred said, supporting Mikasa as the male master sighed,"Oh i know you try to but it's inevitable. Maybe not today, tomorrow or even in twenty years from now but it'll happen and if not to me, then my children. Simply because people don't understand what magic truly is. Why it is NEEDED and why Servants, beings with power beyond imaging exist in the first place. The only way for them to really, truly understanding why they are needed, is too see what magic can do first hand. if nothing else, nobody can say i don't know what i'm doing anymore. Many think i don't know what i'm talking about or understand the consequences simply because i'm a teenager. People are afraid because they don't known me or understand my power."

Making it a point to give all the world leaders a knowing look, he finished with,"You want to know me? You want to know what i can do? Fine but to those who think they've got me figured out, those that think they've seen shit, let me tell you...You have no idea."

"Ominous."

Pieck said, smiling a little toward's Reiner,"You known Xero-dono doesn't say something cryptic unless it's very important or dangerous."

The large blonde nodding, having know Xero for a while and knew, he didn't say shit like that unless it was something big or dangerous. Sometimes both.

Looking at BB, the master spoke to her,"Well, what is the damn catch?"

"The 'catch' is a simply but quite a deadly one my young friend."

It was the Curator that spoke in her place, as he seemed to write something down before looking at Xero,"As we shall be looking through you're memories from a third person perspective, we shall not only see what you do, we shall be seeing you're thoughts. In addition, you will have to feel the same pain you're past self will feel but not the same. More like, a phantom pains so to speak and it will not be pleasant either. While you'res and Lady Stark's pain tolerance has gotten better as time gone on, you'll still be feeling the lingering effects. After all, no lesson learned is painless."

"Expect my son and daughter are the ones that's going to be filling the pain, right?"

Tony snapped, a hiss escaping his lips. He had stayed quite throughout the entire exchanged and let things play out. But his anger had been steadily growing as he listened to everything and now?

Now he'd reached his breaking point.

Tony had heard of parents, who's kids become their entire world and originally, he always thought that was just some sappy stuff, complete bull just to make parents feel better about themselves and that shit was just something he never understood. But now that he was the father of two kids, he can safely say that he understood completely.

He wasn't the only one, as many of the other Servants weren't too pleased to hear that their masters/lover/queen/mother/lord were going to basically experience all the pain he and his sister had to suffer all over again. And it wasn't just the Servants or Xero's Avenger teammates that didn't like the idea of doing this, as more then a few didn't like the idea of putting two teens in a world of pain from the sound of it.

However there were a few that are happy to hear that AND learn more about their future enemies. One of them, of course was Cinder, who was trying not to grin madly.

Oh me oh my, everything was just rolling her way wasn't it? Not only would she learn about the boy's power, she see everything she need to understand what made his tick, his fighting and able to create a sound plan to destroy him. Emerald would like to learn more too, as Cinder could see the dark skinned girl eyeing the beautifully crafted Rosary around the Mazoku's neck and those matching rings on his and Gudako's fingers.

"Emerald's always had a taste for the finer things in life."

It was no secret the girl hated the richy rich type, people that looked down on her when she was just a street rat and Mazoku's father was just that type. The type Emerald loved to rob and she wanted that Rosary and rings. If nothing else then just to spite the teens. Having not dug up anything on Xero before he was put in the hospital, many assumed Tony keep his son hidden from the world and honestly, he had good reason to do so.

The richy rich always had targets on their backs and their children were often victims of kidnapping and everyone assumed he hide his son, to prevent that. But Cinder wonder if it was something else and if these two wanted to give her the reason, along with everything else and then some?

Well, who was she to argue?

The boy is an enigma, one she wanted to figure out. The way he walked, talked and moved was that of a veteran warrior, one that has seen the worst humanity has to offer. She seen his mood swings, how he's smiling, snarky and goofy one second, then the next he acted like he had ice water in his veins. That made Cinder wonder just what he has seen and done, prior to meeting his father and now, she needn't wonder any longer.

"I could help these two out but i think it be best to wait this out and see where it goes."

Wait and see then, the best course of action right now. All would be revealed in due time, that Cinder knew for certain. Silently Cinder looked to see the good captain supporting the father.

"But is this really necessary? Isn't there some other way we can do this?"

Steve asked, feeling bad at what his friend said and worse, knowing he would watching his young friend's life and basically violating his privacy and seeing all his secrets. The super soldier believed everyone was entitled to their own secrets(So long as it didn't cause untold pain and suffering, like what Fury's bosses were trying to do with the Cube) and he didn't like the idea of watching his friends life, like it was some kind of movie. You just don't do shit like that and Xero didn't even want to do this anyway, which only made him feel worse.

"One that doesn't involve revealing someone's private history to the entire world?"

Sam said, knowing full well that someone with PTSD being forced to re-watch their past could relapse as a result. Yeah, Sam was fully aware that both Xero AND Gudako had PTSD, as they had show clear signs of it. Waking up late at night drenched in cold sweat, looking for a quick exit whenever they enter a room, carrying hidden weapons on their persons all the time, looking a bit twitchy at sudden loud noises, looking a ever new person trying to decide if they're friend or foe, the list goes on.

Xero and Gudako hid it well but Sam is a counselor for victims of PTSD. He respected the two's choice to not talk about it, but did say his door was open if they wanted to, something the duo appreciated.

Though it wasn't hard for Sam to understand why Xero keep all his personal effects under strict lock & key, even in his own home and allies.

"Guys, it's okay, really."

Xero sighed but smiled at his friends, as he said,"I know what i'm doing. I've run the numbers and thought of many outcomes of how this could play out and honestly the only thing that'll change is us fighting in the shadows. Out of the shadows, my enemies will lose some power to attack me and while it will weaken me, it gives Gudako and i, a chance for people to tell our side of the story. We'll gain more enemies sure but we'll also gain more allies as well. Just...trust me on this, okay. I know what i'm doing."

"You really thought this out, haven't you?"

Erwin asked, as Xero nodded with Gudako speaking,"Oni-chan has and i for one, agree with him. I wasn't apart of his world till i was fourteen and i can say he is right. This is the best course of action and like it or not, Earth's people won't turn on us. Why? Because WE are you're best bet against the people of Remnant, should they decide to turn and even their little Grimm problem. Like it or not, YOU need us, need Magus, need Heroes to fight the battles, you never could. Isn't that right, Director Fury?"

"That it is and i do believe that, Gudako."

Fury said, nodding his head in agreement as Erwin spoke,"Sometimes the best chance to take, is the riskiest. Now more then ever, if we are to stand against the Grimm and...huntsman as well."

"I assure you, the four kingdoms would never willingly attack the people of Earth."

Ozpin cut in sharply, a little offend at the not so subtle accusations. War was the last thing that Remnant needed and now was a chance for humanity to really, truly beat back the Grimm and Salem's forces. But to do that, they needed trust between them all.

"Maybe so, but you can't be everywhere at once and not ever huntsman is an angel, are they?"

Came Levi's snappy response, making the headmaster's and many from Remnant frown at the short man's response. Even if he was right, as the large bear of a man known as Iskandar spoke,"Everyone is different, we all make our own choices and our actions are our own. Even if one of you're huntsman attack Earth for one reason or another, it is because of their own actions. Thus, the majority should not suffer because of the actions of a few."

"Thank you-"

"However, that doesn't mean you are completely blameless in it all. If one of those fools attack us, they should be prepared for the consequences of said actions, do remember that. If they attack, it won't be just them that suffer but the rest of you, so you better keep a tight leash on you're hunters or else."

Caster Morgan said, letting the threat linger and cutting off Ozpin making the headmaster sigh but nod in understanding. They were right in a way, as huntsman were very dangerous to an regualr person and very capable of hurting them. Whether it be intentional or not, all it took one was mistake and things could go from bad to worse.

Director Fury then looked at Sienna Khan and said,"And goes double for you Ms. Khan, while you and you're organization aren't classified as terrorists on Earth, that can change real quick."

"Understood director."

Sienna glared at Adam, before he could open his mouth,"I'm sure no one is stupid enough to attack people that have done NOTHING to the Faunus kind or is selfish enough to ruin our kinds chances at gaining a new life on Earth. RIGHT?"

The venom in her voice would make a Death stalker cringe, as Adam gritted his teeth but nodded never the less. Angry, selfish and arrogant as he was, he knew the odds were stacked even higher now and it would be unwise to start a fight.

For now.

"But if you're planning to show us and the world his past, won't that take a long time? How long are we talking about, cause i don't see us surviving long enough to watch it all, without food, drinks or even a place to sleep?"

Kali posed a very reasonable question, as the Curator answered her,"Worry not Mrs. Belladonna, the pocket dimension we are residing in, will prevent you from aging at all. Lets say, you stay in here for an equivalent to twenty years. Despite that, when you leave this pocket, it would be nothing more then five seconds out in the real world."

"That's amazing."

Oobleck said, eyes widening in amazement,"How does it work? Are we really in an entirely different dimension? How is it possible for you and Ms. BB to bring us all here?"

"Magic."

Was the Moon Cancer's only response.

As this went on the two master's looked at their teammates, who had been silent after Xero and Gudako's choice to reveal themselves.

The Avengers stayed silent, all looking at Xero and Gudako as they waited to see what they would say to their plan. Wordless, Pepper walked up to the two and hugged them,"Alright, if you believe this is the right choice, i'll support you two."

"Thanks mom."

The two hugged her back, as Ember spoke with a toothy grin,"Well i must say, it's a ballsy move and you've got the backbone to weather what is to come, brother in law. I like it, you chose well little sister."

"That i did sister."

Ursula said with a proud smile on her pretty face. Her mate really was a one of a kind and was willingly to do what is necessary. He may not be a dragon but he sure as hell acted like one. She watched as her mate stood up and said,"Go ahead and get started, cause i'm going to go change. It's still in the same place as last time right?"

"Down the right hall and towards the left, you should find some of you're spare clothing in there."

Nodding, the master left the room as the Curator spoke,"So i do believe we're all set, yes?"

"Yeah we're all set bub, what's first?"

Logan asked, crossing his arms as BB struck a pose before speaking, smiling devilishly as she did,"Oh but first, before we show you his first, we're going to take a little trip to Blackwood Mountain."

"Wait, isn't that the place, where those Wendigo things are at?"

Eren asked, confusion clear on his face,"Why show that first?"

"Because, it's to ensure that some of you..."

The Curator made it a point to look at Senator Kelly and Trask, as he said this,"Don't try to turn what happened up at, against him or any other magical creature. What caused the 'Mountain that seems to breed tragedy' was in fact, not because of magical interference but simple human greed. Those in charge of the mountain's mines tried to cover up a tragedy to prevent their fall, only ensured it's fall. Now, do take you're seats, you all will be in for the long hull."

Everyone did as they were told, with Earth's people taking the lower row and Remnant's taking the upper row, with Gudako laying on Lobo's stomach, to make sure the giant wolf didn't go crazy and attack all the humans present. Even if she herself was human, she, like Xero, was considered one of his pups so he wouldn't go too crazy.

The large screen turned on, as the lights dimmed and with just two words, a new world opened up. On the screen it read:

UNTIL DAWN

---

Done.

Phew, took a while and several premade chapters to create this one massive one, we are here! Now, up next will be the "Until Dawn Arc" where we go through the entire game and show the results of Xero's training and experince come into play. It's kinda like showing, this is how far he's come and what he can do WITHOUT magic, then we'll see what he had to do in order to get to this level of skill and power.

This kid wasn't built in a day, much like Rome.

Also yes, the "Curator" is the same one from the Dark Pictures Anthology games and he WILL have a role to play in this story.

Devil out.
