Chapter 24: The Darkness We Face And Meet The Grimm Reaper With Wiz And Boomstick

"Well timing master, i just brought these fine people here with the he-"

"I noticed." Suddenly Xero was right in front of Merlin, glaring at the now female Caster, gritting his teeth so hard it was a wonder why they didn't break, as he glared death at her, "I can't help but wonder just WHY you brought them here. Care to explain?"

It wasn't a question but a demand.

"So, you're the one who brought us here?" Aizawa asked but was ignored.

"I had a vision."

Then, all the cheeriness and cheery attitude vanished from Merlin's face, while she ignored Gran Torino's question, as she got into one of her rare serious moods, causing Xero to stop glaring and allowing her to explain, "Believe me master, you've done a wonderful job of pushing back the Cult but because of it, it's not just our world in danger of being overrun by the dead but their world as well. Plus, a certain someone has been making hell for these fine folks here, an apathetic one at that."

Xero's eyes narrowed, as the heroes stiffened at the obvious word play.

They knew the villainess, Apathy's true name.

"Excuse me, we-"

With a deep sigh, Xero threw his hands in the air in the universal sign for 'stop talking', as he begins to stomp back towards the room Mikasa was in, "Ya know what, fuck it. Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, fuck every bit of it. I don't have the time, nor the patience to deal with this shit. You did this, it's your and YOU will clean it up, but first: Punishment is in order."

"Excuse me sir, but-"

"Punishment?" Merlin spoke, sweat pouring down her forehead, as her master's Command Seals begin to glow as he raised his hand, completely ignoring the youngest son of the Iida family, while he grinned an absolutely evil grin, "Oh yes, you're a smart Caster Merlin and there is no chance you interrupted my time with Mikasa by ACCIDENT. You knew EXACTLY what you were doing and did it at a time when you would interrupt us. Now you're going to get PUNISHED!"

"Wait master, please-"

"By the power of this Command Seal, i order you Servant Caster...TO NOT MOVE AN INCH FOR THE NEXT TWENTY MINUTES!"

Three red Seals glowed before fading away leaving a brunt mark on his hand, as the magic washed over Merlin leaving her stiff as a board, a look of terror on her face.

"EXCUSE ME-"

"A bit excessive, don't you think kiddo?" Tony asked, as the white Mage sweat even more, as Xero shook his head with a laugh.

"Hell no, this was just to make sure she doesn't go anywhere. She's an extremely talented mage and anything less would allow her to wiggle away from her punishment. This was just to make sure; she gets what she has coming to her. This was just the first part."

"And the second?" Tony raised an eyebrow, as Xero just kept grinning, before throwing his head back yelling one word that would seal Merlin's fate:

"FOU!"

Oh, this was going to suck...for Merlin!

Tony didn't even hold back his laughter, as the small, cuddle fur-ball almost immediately appeared and delivered a quick and swift kick to Merlin's face!

SLAM/CRASH

"Oh, man that's got to hurt." Eijiro Kirishima a young, redheaded fifteen-year-old winced, as his best friend, Katsuki Bakugo just laughed loudly laughed,"Who cares, that little fur-ball just sent that white chick flying!"

"Impressive, i haven't seen many creatures that size actually send a grown woman flying with one kick." Nezu mused, only for his staff and the students to wince as Fou procced to beat on Merlin's stupid, hot ass. Jesus how can something so small and cute looking be so strong and deadly?! Seriously that looked painful!

Rumi Usagiyama aka Miruko however just grinned alongside Nezu, "Heh, little guys got some fight in him, i like it. Wonder how strong he is."

No real surprise there, being the battle hunger hero that she is, always looking for better and better fights. If this little puff ball of cuteness can do that, she wondered what some of those other Servant people could do and more importantly, what could this 'master' of theirs do. Her own natural instincts were screaming at her, not to fight those guys or she could die, which naturally made her want to fight them even more!

Seriously, if those guys are THAT strong to get a reaction like that out of her instincts, Rumi knew their boss had to be powerful!

"Umm, excuse me, but why are we here and why did she bring us here?" Ochako Uraraka, a rosy cheeked girl with brown hair asked nervously, after the attack on the USJ and nearly dying, it had made the brown-haired girl wary of anyone with a wrapping Quirk.

The Curator merely chuckled warmly, "My apologies young lady, but this was something that could not wait and had to be addressed, as it will not only decide the fate of my young friend's world but your world as well."

"What do you mean? Who are you?" Midnight asked, as the Curator merely gave a gentleman's bow.

"Who am i? I am the Curator. The Curator of Stories. Stories of love and hate... greed and beauty... life... and death. My purpose is not to judge or help but to merely keep a record of everything you do, every decision, or mistake, you make. Both in this world, the next, in Remnant and beyond even the Multiverse itself but they are all stories nevertheless. Stories such as this one but this as things stand, this will not be a happy little story. For you see, you and everyone in both worlds, the world of Marvel Earth 616 and My Hero Academia Earth 727 now teeter on the edge of an abyss. One that threatens to sallow you all whole. Your survival, both for yourselves and the survival of your worlds depends on the choices you all make. They will be as a compass so to speak, guiding you through the unknown. Will you find the path to salvation? Or be lost in the darkness? Forever."

The Curator waved his hand for the new group to follow him, "Now, if you will follow me, we have quite a lot to get you all up to speed of the threat that threatens to destroy your worlds."

One Long Ass Explanation Later

"So much for having a peaceful day, why did i ever agree to teach this class of problem children?" Shota Aizawa felt like he just aged a couple of years in an instant, as he slumped into the admittedly comfy theater style seat.

Shota is a slender and tall, pale-skinned man with messy, shoulder-length black hair, that partially hangs in front of his face and half-opened black eyes. He is usually recognized for his worn-out appearance, often looking fatigued. His facial hair is almost always in a stubbly, unkempt state (unless he needs to look good for the press), and his eyes tired and flat, unless he's in combat. He sports a baggy black outfit that consists of a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tuck into his boots. He also wears a utility belt and his signature wrap scarf at all times. He hides a pair of bright yellow goggles underneath his scarf for when he needs to use them in battle.

"Unbelievable, it feels like were in some kind of crossover story ya know? Where the main characters of two worlds, come together to defeat an even bigger bad guy that neither could defeat alone, and magic is real? How cool is that?!" The redhead from before however, Kirishima, was ecstatic wired as it sounded.

"I don't know, this all feels pretty overwhelming." Momo Yaoyorozu a tall teenage girl with a buxom physique, with long black hair tied into a ponytail and black eyes, nervously ran a hand through her hair, "It all feels like we've been dragged into some sort of crazy story that belongs only in the movies or comic's."

"Maybe but isn't our entire world like a comic book though?" Tsuyu Asui, a short girl of a relatively slender build compared to her classmates and has notably large hands. Her appearance is rather frog-like; she has a very wide mouth, which dips down a little in the middle just like that of a common frog, and oval-shaped eyes with large, black irises, their lower eyelashes visibly pronounced, "I mean, i'm basically a frog person and Tokoyami has the face of a raven, so it's not that strange if you think about it."

"Indeed. But that doesn't really explain how magic is actually a real thing and that there is an entire dead world, wanting to destroy all life." Said raven head teen was Fumikage Tokoyami, a teen with a raven head for a face and red eyes.

"Well, that guy, the Curator called it the 'Rotten World' and if the Multiverse theory of true, then it's honestly not as wired as you'd think. If every possibility is possible, then why not an entire world full of magically powered zombies too?" The blonde tailed teen user known as Mashirao Ojiro spoke, as he rubbed the back of his head. He had a muscular build and had short blond hair swept to the front of his head. He has thin eyes with no lower eyelashes, "If nothing else, we should be glad we've got some new allies that seem to know more about this Cult of Umber. Heck, even the pros and teachers looked stumped."

"My father actually spoke of a new villainess that might be a part of this group." This came from class 1A powerhouse, the half hot, half cold son of Endeavor, Shoto Todoroki. Shoto is a moderately tall and rather muscular young man who is well-built for his age. He has quite long hair, though it doesn't pass his neck, and wears bangs, parted twice as to not obscure his vision. His hair is evenly split between two colors: white on his right side and crimson red on his left, this unusual coloring being due to his Quirk. As another result of this, he also possesses heterochromia iridium, which causes his left eye's iris to appear turquoise, while his right is a brownish dark gray. His eyes, in shape, are quite thin and reserved. Additionally, he has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek.

The young man, normally more silent than the grave spoke openly as he put a chin to his hand, "You are aware how this Apathy woman was able to defeat five of the ten top heroes in the country, even when they were working together, without breaking a sweat right?"

"Who hasn't?! It's the only thing people were talking about before the UA Sports Festival and even then, people can't get that massive fight out of their heads." Spoke the odd elbowed teen, Hanta Sero. Hanta is a tall, lean young man with chin-length black hair, spiked downwards, with jagged bangs coming about halfway down his forehead. He has almond-shaped eyes, usually stretched quite wide, and rather large, with small pupils, straight teeth that dominate his grin, however, according to Katsuki Bakugo and Present Mic he has a rather plain face. His elbows have the shape of cylindrical tape dispensers, from which he fires his Tape Quirk.

Wired.

"Guys, aren't you forgetting the real important part of all this?" Toru Hagakure, one of the most energetic girls of class 1A stood out the most, simply because of the fact she was in fact, invisible.

How ironic.

But damn, that girl must have a ton of fun and fairly easy time to pull pranks on people, when they can't see you coming.

"What's that Hagakure?" Spoke the tallest and also, one of the oddest teens in Class 1A, Mezo Shoji. Mezo is a tall, muscular young man with pale gray hair swept forwards, covering most of his face, and bent downwards at almost a right angle over his eye. He has six arms, all attached to each other by a web of skin, which are very physically strong, and while his Quirk is not in use only the front two arms have hands, the rest ending in thin stumps.

The short girl paused and finally spoke, in a very excited tone of voice, as she jumped up and down in said excitement,"Other then the fact MAGIC EXISTS! THE MARVEL WORLD IS REAL AND THAT MEANS HEROES LIKE IRON MAN AND CAPTAIN AMERICAN EXISTS! THAT ALSO MEANS THE AVENGERS EXISTS TOO! EEEEEHEHHHHHHHHHHH! OH, IT'S SO AMAZING TO THINK ABOUT!"

Well, it was nice to know there were fans out there.

"Not to mention their leader is not only a magic user, but he can also SUMMON LEGENDARY FIGURES BACK TO LIFE! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!OH. OH, OH DO YOU THINK WE CAN CONVINCE LORD MAZOKU TO LET US TALK TO SOME OF THEM, LIKE KING ARTHUR IF HE HAS HIM?!" The second most excitable girl of class 1A Mina Ashido, also one of the ones that stood out most in class 1A. Mina is a girl of medium height, possibly set a little more broadly than some of her other female classmates, with, according to her profile, "healthy thighs". Due to her Quirk, her skin is a light shade of pink, and she has somewhat square shaped eyes with black sclera and yellow irises and notably long eyelashes below and around the sides of her eyes.

"I don't think he'll mind Mina, but you do understand why we're here right? Merlin brought us here, cause our world is endanger of being destroyed by the Rotten World, after Lord Mazoku pushed the Cult of Umber into a corner so badly, they'd sought help from our world's villains."

"And endangered the rest of us! Wah, why does this happen to me, i just want to have hot girls love me! Now we're all going to die, because of some dumbass vigilante!"

Well, not everyone it seemed.

The two who spoke this, was class 1A's resident problem child and the useless pervert, Izuku Midoriya and Minoru Mineta respectively.

Izuku a short for his age teen with a round face is framed by a short mess of fluffy dark-green hair which sticks up at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows onto itself. His eyes are large and somewhat circular, their irises the same green color as his hair, which at times are very watery, and are usually stretched quite wide, giving him an innocent, energized appearance. He has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek.

Mineta however was even shorter then Izuku, the shortest of the entire class. With a large, round head, and rather puffy cheeks. His nose is small, stubby and points slightly upwards, and he has an unusually distinguishable philtrum, oval-shaped eyes with large, black pupils, and notably thin eyebrows. He has a head of very short dark purple hair with four large ball-shaped clumps resembling a mohawk.

Izuku tried to calm him down, as the short teen burst into comical tears, as his best friend and fellow pervert, Denki Kaminari spoke up, "I don't know about that. I like hot women but that giant snake woman and the sliver haired one, i think they called Jalter didn't look too friendly. Honestly, it looked like she wanted to rip my face off and use my head as a bowling ball."

Denki has short gold hair, parted to the right with a black lightning-shaped streak on the left of his side fringe, which is angled so that it partially obscures his left eye. He has slanted, somewhat triangular golden eyes, and notably small eyebrows. He's slimmer than most of the other male students in his class, not having much visible muscle mass.

He quickly shut up, as an earphone jack slammed into his, "Maybe because you were ogling them so openly and didn't like it."

Jiro Kyoka spoke blandly, as she glared at the prevy teen. Kyoka is a petite, fair-skinned girl with a slender build. She has triangular, lazy-looking onyx eyes with notably long lower eyelashes and rather small eyebrows. Her hair is short, around chin length, and is dark purple in color with an asymmetrical fringe, and two reflections shaped like heartbeat monitor waves on either side of her head. Her most prominent features are the flexible, plug-like earphone jacks hanging from each of her earlobes at the end of two thin cords, which act like extra limbs; she is able to control these at will, and they are very flexible, able to change length if so desired.

"Normally I'd agree but it's kind of hard not to notice there...unmentionable. Still, that is no excuse for your deplorable behavior." The class rep and the teen that makes the moves of a robot for some odd reason, Tenya Iida. Tenya is a relatively tall and muscular young man with a wide frame. He has short dark blue hair, flattened neatly down and parted on the right side of his head, a small patch completely shaved near the base of his head, and rather square eyes which match the notably pointed shape of his jaw. He usually wears a serious expression, and his eyebrows seem to be permanently pointed inwards, quite thin and long in length, the far ends sharply hooked inwards, and he wears glasses with rectangular lenses. Because of his Quirk, he possesses calves that are incredibly thick, and shaped like automobile engines, with six silver exhaust pipes protruding from each leg in columns of three.

"That doesn't change the fact, they're both really, really, REALLY scary and that wolf! I've never seen anything like it!" Spoke the quietest member of class 1A, despite his size, Koji Koda, as he used side language to speak. Koji is a tall young man of a wide, muscular build with peach-colored skin. His head takes the form of a rock, which is unevenly shaped and pointed at the top of his head, and his jaw is square-shaped.

The teen was easily scared but he was shaking like a lead, looking at Lobo and Gorgon.

"Believe me, I don't disagree, mon ami, many of Lord Mazoku's...allies give even me, who tweaking cut stop shining, pause." This one came from the quite literary brightest member of class 1A, Yuga Aoyama. The unable to stop sparkling teen is a young man with a slim build and a rather feminine face. He has long blond hair, worn flattened down around the majority of his head, spiked and sticking out to the sides at the bottom of it with a side fringe that curves upwards a little before it curves down. He has notably long eyelashes and bright indigo eyes, giving him the appearance of a young prince.

Even though he is the farthest thing from a prince.

"Maybe but you heard what that wired guy said right? If our worlds are to survive the coming war, then we'll need to learn to work together to overcome the Cult and the League of Villains." The final member of the class and one of the easier ones to get along with, was Rikido Sato. Rikido is a tall, very muscular young man with a wide build. His brown hair is short and spiked upwards away from his head. He has rather small, square-shaped eyes with small black pupils and has a pair of bushy eyebrows just above. He has very large and thick lips which are slightly darker in color than the rest of his skin, and a notably large, round nose.

"AH WHO CARES, I'LL BLOW BOTH THOSE CLUTEST BASTARDS AND LEAGUE BASTARDS TO HELL, ALL BY MYSELF!" The rest of the class sighed at Bakugo's typical behavior. Pride cometh before the fall as they said and despite his anger problems, the class hoped Bakugo wouldn't bite off more than he can chew, as the rules of the game have changed.

Off to another section of the large room, where the adults heroes, who were speaking to the Curator and a blooded up Merlin, after taking a beating for twenty minutes straight.

"I see...So that's why you summoned us here, so we can have a chance to fight what is to come. But to do so, we are going to be watching the main points and turning points in Lord Mazoku's life in order to learn more about our enemy."

"And you're going to have to learn to adapt in order to fight this new threat to your world and no one knows how the Cult works better then master. Even if he can be a meanie jerk." Merlin was nursing her bruised ego and body, as she rubbed her cheek, while the same principal of UA nodded. Some of the heroes, like a certain flame asshole scoffed at this.

"And pray tell, why should we? What is so bad that happens in the future, that we need to work together to save it?"

"Complete destruction." The Curator's cold and flat tone made the heroes freeze, as he spoke with absolute conviction in his voice, "Think about this, Enji Todoroki, you've already fought one of the Cult's more powerful members, The Apathy you called her, yes? She wasn't even using her full strength, nor was Saber. And more importantly, why didn't Mr. Aizawa's ability work on them, even though it was working perfectly fine?"

That got him shocked looks, as Aizawa's involvement in the battle was a well-guarded secret.

"Hold on, how do you know that?" The Winged Hero, Hawks asked. His real name was Keigo Takami a man of average height with a slim and narrow build. He himself has pointed out that his back muscles are not broad enough. He has feathery, ash blond hair, swept messily backward, with some of the front tufts sticking up in arcs above his head, notably thick eyelashes, and some faint stubble on his chin. His eyes are golden-brown and rather triangular, with two little black triangles just below his tear ducts, making his eyes somewhat resemble those of a bird. The marks around his eyes are natural since he already had them as a child. His Quirk grants him a set of large bright red wings with feathers that gradually lengthen the further down they go.

In his hero suit was a black shirt with a wavy golden pattern like a ripple in a pond, over which he has a tan jacket with a high collar, the insides and cuffs of the sleeves lined with white fur, and black gloves. He has a red square-shaped lobe piercing in each ear, although these are rarely visible as he usually wears a pair of yellow headphones over them. His headphones most likely have protection purposes, since the velocities in which he moves are capable of damaging eardrums beyond repair.

"The same way i known, why the Apathy is, as i told you: I am the Curator of stories. It is not my place to INTERFERE, only to record, nothing more."

"Who is she?" Midnight, real name Nemuri Kayama, spoke up, before the number 2 hero could cause more trouble with their mysterious host. Midnight is an attractive, curvaceous, tall woman with sky blue eyes and long, spiky, dark-purple hair that reaches below her waist. She has red painted nails and a small beauty mark underneath her left eye. Her hero costume resembles a dominatrix outfit, composed of a skin-tight white bodysuit (which is flesh colored in the manga). Her black leather, breast-less leotard connects to a wide, bedazzled thread that reaches and forms the collar of her costume. Midnight also has a red domino mask, a red and yellow belt, jeweled, black high heels, and handcuffs on each wrist.

Merlin however piped up, before the Curator could, "Her real name is Frieda Mazoku/Reiss, Master's half-sister, same mother different fathers. The reason why she joined the Cult isn't our place to say, just know that she is a master of Gravity magic and lighting magic too. Her lighting is nowhere near as good as master's, but her gravity magic is like Esdeath with her ice magic, second to none. Little wonder why she was able to kick your asses seven ways to Sunday and since master was able to defeat her, Roxanne, Zed and Opheila together, while you couldn't even beat her one on five, doesn't that master stronger then all your sorry asses combined."

"Oi! Like hell he is!" The Rabbit Heroine yelled, glaring at the white-haired Caster, pointing a finger at her, "You bring your master's ass here right now, i'll kick his ass here and now!" Miruko aka Rumi Usagiyama is an athletic built woman with muscular arms and legs, who stands slightly below average height. Rumi has dark skin, red eyes which are tilted slightly inwards, long eyelashes, and straight white hair that used to reach down past her waist, but she had later cut short. On her head, she has a pair of long white rabbit ears pointing upwards with a slight crook. Along with these, she also has a white round tail, which gives her overall design a definite resemblance to an albino rabbit.

Her hero costume consists of a sleeveless white leotard with dark purple trim around her shoulders and waist, a wide, yellow crescent moon design over her chest, and a single thick metal plate wrapped around her midriff. She wears purple thigh-high boots to compliment her leotard, with more plating around the heel and toe areas, making her feet look like those of a rabbit. She also has a pair of thick white gloves on her hands with long cuffs, sporting small triangular protrusions around their edges.

"Easy Rumi, we don't want to go fighting potential allies, especially with these new enemies of ours." The number 4 hero, Best Jeanist aka Tsunagu Hakamada, spoke in a very sensible and logical tone, "It would be foolish of us not to take advantage of this new info and if they are so easily giving it out, then we should learn as much as we can, while we can.

Just like Mr. Spock.

Best Jeanist is a tall, slim man with an unnaturally long and flexible neck, as shown on several occasions, and dark, heavily-lashed eyes which appeared to tilt slightly inwards. He has rather long blond hair which he wears combed drastically to the left, covering his left eye. His hero costume consists of a pair of jeans, a denim waistcoat with two large breast pockets, and a denim dress shirt with a very high collar which covers his face up to just below his nose. He wears two belts, one around his collar and one around his waist, and short dark brown boots with thick gray shafts and soles.

The Rabbit Heroine scoffed, personally wanting to see just how strong this "Lord Mazoku" truly was.

"I don't know but i do know this is the best chance we have to learn and agree with Best Jeanist, we should take advantage of this and learn as much as we can." One of the few people All Might didn't see during the transposition was his old friend and partner, with his daughter, David and Melissa Shield. David is a tall man of an average build, with notable wrinkles on his forehead and defined nasolabial folds and tear troughs. He has small sky-blue eyes and short, unruly honey brown hair with two prominent tufts curving outwards from the top of his forehead, a short goatee on his chin and wide-rimmed square glasses on his face. He wears a plain dark blue shirt with a single breast pocket, the two top buttons left casually undone and the sleeve-cuffs unbuttoned and rolled up to just below his elbows. He wears a pair of pale gray-blue jeans, a dark belt with a silver buckle and navy blue sneakers with white soles, decorated with a red stripe near the toe.

His daughter, Melissa is a shapely and attractive pale-skinned young woman of slightly above average height with quite a round face. She has wavy blonde hair which reaches halfway down her back, two shorter pieces she leaves over her shoulders, side-swept bangs that frames her face, aqua-blue eyes with notable upper eyelashes, some slightly longer ones extending on each side and pronounced lower eyelashes. Her outfit was a white short-sleeved dress shirt with plaid cuffs, a large bow of the same design at her neck, and a dark raspberry pink waistcoat. Accompanying these are pale gray Capri pants, under which are a pair of plaid pink socks as well as a pair of heeled brown boots with a pair of oval shaped glasses.

"I dig it, if it helps us learn more about our enemies and the League of Villains, then I'm down to watch some movies, ya dig." Hizashi Yamada aka Present Mic spoke, while pushing on his shoulder pads, like they were records.

Hizashi is a tall, slim man with long blond hair, which he wears spiked upwards in a large tuft behind his head, and a small brown mustache. He has rectangular eyes with concentric pupils and greenish-yellow irises (red in the manga), he is almost always seen with a large smile on his face, and is almost never drawn with nostrils. His hero costume consists of a black jacket with a very tall collar, upturned and complete with studs, and matching black pants and knee-high boots. He sports tan shoulder pads and a red belt and elbow pads, all studded, and black fingerless gloves. His neck is always obscured by a directional speaker which he uses with his Quirk. He wears a pair of headphones with the word "HAGE" written on the headband and a pair of orange-tinted shades.

The others reluctantly nodded, as Merlin clapped, "Good, i had BB wipe up a small video to, i guess you can say introduce our master to you. Do gather your students so we can begin and then, you'll be viewing the videos we've already watched, so you can get caught up."

"Fine, at least we'll have an idea on what we're dealing with. This is going to be a pain in my old rear end." Gran Torino aka Sorahiko Torino spoke as he used his walking stick to get to a plush chair. Gran Torino is an extremely short, elderly man with heavy wrinkles and a scrawny build. He has a light complexion and brown eyes. His hair is grey and spiky, styled short with some bangs hanging forward and a trimmed beard. His hero costume consists of a full-body monochrome suit along with a yellow cape, a belt with the letter "G" on it, very thick yellow gloves and boots, and a dark domino mask which resembles two diamonds.

Yet despite this, he can still install the fear into the number one Pro Hero.

I guess it's true what they say about old dogs.

Class 1A, with the Big Three took the first rows of seats, with the older heroes like Gran Torino and Recovery Girl taking seats behind them, with David and Melissa, even All Might in his buff form.

Now, you're probably wondering how All Might can maintain his buff form, despite it being well over his limit. The answer is simple, as All Might had discovered a note in his back pocket, reading the following:

"You are the symbol of Peace in your world and your time has not yet come to retire, Yagi Toshinori. While you are within my domain, you need not worry about the secret of your quirk or condition being revealed to the others...Yet."

The last bit of YET had worried Yagi greatly, reminding him of his former sidekick's prediction of his death.

The Pro-Heroes and teachers of UA took the second and third row, as the 'movie' begin, much to the excitement of the younger heroes.

Music begin to play at a soft, pianissimo music begin to play and a voice cut in.

"Antiheroes." Wiz began in a dramatic tone, building up the hype, "Walking that mysterious line between good and evil, seemly unable to decide if they are hero or villain. Doing what no one else can and-"

Wiz's co-host, Boomstick then butted in and spoke, in a cheeky tone,"They do what they want, however they want, when they want to get the job done and look damn good while doing it."

The students were intrigued with learning more about the concepts of anti-heroes and vigilantes, while the heroes frowned slightly at the notion of the their more unlawful counterparts, as ones like Endeavor growled at the mention of the unlawful, degenerates Aizawa mentally recalled his own encounters with a certain pair of vigilantes, as did Nezu. After all, before the age of heroes, was the age of Vigilantes.

Without them and their bravery, they wouldn't be here right now.

"Today, we are doing a very special episode on Death Battle, where we have been brought in-"

"More like kidnapped!"

Wiz sighed at Boomstick,"Yes, well let's just get this done. Anyway, on this very special episode of Death Battles, we have been enlisted by the Moon Cancer Servant, BB to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills of Earth 616 version of Xero Mazoku/Stark/Ley Fay/Pendragon, the master of Chaldea, Ritsuka "Gudako" Stark, formerly Fujimaru and his dark counterpart, the Counter Guardian Avenger Xero."

"Moon Cancer? Kidnapped? Who the heck is this BB person and why does this Xero guy have four last names? Isn't Pendragon and Le-Fay the names from the King Arthur legends? Why is BB called a Servant and what does Moon Cancer mean? Why is Fujimaru Gudako's former last name? Did something happen to her parents or was it just her? What's a Servant? Is it liking to a maid of butler?" The chatter box and air head of the big three spoke, Nejire Hado. Nejire is a fair-skinned girl of average height with wide, curious eyes. Her upper eyelashes are long and thick, and her irises are a royal blue. Her hair is periwinkle, and it reaches all the way down to her knees, twisting around itself at her waist and curving inwards around her legs. She has side-swept bangs, tucked behind her ears on the right and hanging just over her eyes on the left, and two short clumps of hair on either side of her face, curved towards her face on the right and behind it, under her ear, on the left. According to the boys at U.A. and Yuyu Haya, Nejire is more of the "cute kind" than the "sexy kind."

"I don't know, but i am eager to find out." Spoke her friend, Mirio Togata with a bright smile and the unofficial leader of the Big Three. Mirio is Mirio is a tall young man with a very muscular build who possesses a number of noticeable scars around his lower arms. Mirio's design is very unique due to his blue oval-shaped eyes, drawn in a simplistic style with no visible sclera, and nose which is prominently rounder than most others. He has blonde hair, the top part of which is arranged in a cowlick, while the bottom section is worn swept backward. He wore a standard UA school dress shirt and pants.

"Let's start off with our main man and the primary master of Chaldea, Xero!" Boomstick said, as Wiz begin to speak, "Born to Lilith Mazoku, leader of one of the OLDEST Magus families left alive during the golden age of magic and known all over the world as The Phantom as his mother. Not to mention the Mazoku clan was born from a sisterhood of legendary warriors, but we'll get into that a bit later, as his father is Tony Stark, once one of the world leaders in weapons manufacturing, now known as the invincible Iron Man, no one could deny Xero was destined for greatest he had a very high bar to reach in order to reach that greatness."

The scene then showed Lilith, wearing the Immortal Guardian Army with Black Rose laying on her shoulder, while Tony was in his Mark 3 armor, with his face plate up, revealing his face.

"So cool..."

The students were in awe at the sight of the two legendary figures, stars in their eyes, especially Izuku.

"Still, saving the world over four times, one in which he fought a homicide god, straight from Norse mythology and BEAT him in a fist fight no less, I'd say Xero went above and beyond the high bar his family set."

"Don't forget Boomstick, that Xero lead the Avengers against said god's ADVANCED and ALIEN army, which were a million strong. So yeah, i agree, he did indeed go above and beyond the bar set by his family."

"A MILLION STRONG?!" Everyone, yes even the more arrogant heroes' jaws dropped to the floor at that shocking news.

Wiz didn't give them time to try and form a response, as he pushed on, "But before Xero became a badass warrior that could fight alien gods, he came from humble beginnings and honestly, no one thought he get this far."

"Yep. You see, old Xero boy was born with a weak body and an incurable disease that has killed off many of his family members for centuries now."

"A disease?" Izuku's attention was fully on the screen now, eyes wide. Was it possible, could it really be?

"The Slow Death, Kin Slayer, The Dragon Virus, Black Death but it's most commonly called, The Twelve-Year Sickness."

"Dragon Virus? Bit of an odd name for a sickness."

"It is, but you forget, dragons are considered one of the strongest beings on this world and by the Magus. The fact it's extremely rare blood disease, seemly only appearing in certain families, it's as rare as an honest king Boomstick."

"Damn and an honest king is rarer than a stack of thirty tons of gold without an owner."

"Unbelievable. Even in our day in age, blood diseases are rare." Vlad King aka Sekijiro Kan spoke, as he put a hand on his overbite chin, "Even more so than the quirkless children, thanks to all the advancements in medical."

Sekijiro is a very tall, wide-set man of a bulky, muscular build, with lightly tanned skin, a few visible scars showing on his left cheek and the left side of his notably thick neck. He has short pale gray hair, which is spiked upwards, away from his face, the only exception to this being the small clump of hair which hangs down over the left of his forehead. His eyes are very small and thin, and he has a wide mouth with two prominent lower canines, which appear even when his mouth is closed.

His hero costume consists of a dark red skin-tight suit with a very low u-shaped collar, which exposes the middle of his pectoral muscles and is lined with a thick black trim, which matches the ones over his shoulders. He wears white over-the-knee boots and thick vambraces over his lower arms, a thin wire snaking from one of the two small protrusions on the left one to the back of his neck, and red gloves. Around his waist, he has a three-piece metallic belt which dips downwards in the center, and he wears an orange mask over his eyes.

"Hmmm, that still doesn't really explain how he got all those scars. Honestly, more than half of those should have killed the boy, no matter how strong he is." This came from an annoyed and confused Recovery Girl aka Chiyo Shuzenji.

Like All Might teacher, Recovery Girl was a short, elderly woman with gray hair styled into a netted bun, a large syringe poking diagonally out of it to the left. She has a notably small nose and eyes which are usually drawn as two little dashes, and a long mouth with defined nasolabial folds. She wears a doctor's lab coat and a dress with yellow and red vest-like designs on either side, two yellow buttons, and a belt with a pink "R"-shaped buckle. She wears pink boots and has a helmet around the sides of her head, a purple-tinted visor joining it over her eyes. In addition, she walks with a cane designed like a syringe that she can also use for healing the injured.

"No kidding." The leader of the Pussy Cats shuddered, as she remembered the admittedly handsome teen's scarred body,"I've seen enough injured people in my hero career to known more than half those scars would have been fatal wounds."

That got her confused looks from the students, as Asui put a finger to her chin, "But how did he survive then? Maybe some sort of healing quirk? Ribbit."

"Impossible." Tenya spoke, chopping the air like a robot, "Don't forget this world isn't like our own, quirks have yet to appear and even if they did, it is a clear case that m-magic is involved."

The speeder nearly stumbled over his own words, still having to come to terms with the fact that magic is real. Even now, while he said he accepted that magic was real, his mind wouldn't, couldn't accept it and was trying to find a logic reasoning to it all Not that any of his classmates could blame him, as Uraraka patted his back, "Don't worry Iida, we're all still coming to terms with this."

"Anyway, the 12-year sickness does as it sounds, it kills you after twelve years. Old Xero's body was slowly broken down, making him sicker and sicker every year, as the time passed by. Little wonder why he was such a shrimp back when he was thirteen and only hit his growth spurt the same year, he joined Chaldea."

Boomstick said, as Wiz spoke, "Indeed. Xero only survived because of his mother doing the unthinkable. You see, the reason she named him 'Xero' was because he was a sickly baby and the doctors told Lilith they didn't expect him to survive. Having a 'zero chance' at survival at that."

"WHAT?! How dare those idiots say that! Why i'd ought too-" Recovery Girl went on a rant, much to the sweat drop of everyone else.

"Yeah, well Xero told them to fuck off and screamed his little lungs out, nearly bringing the hospital down on those idiots. Heh, good on him, that'll teach those doctors not to write someone off too soon. Still, why Xero? Not that it's not a cool name or anything but why did Lilith decide to name him that?"

"Because, since the doctors declared he had a 'zero chance of survival' Lilith decide it would be appropriate to name him 'Xero' to show everyone, what the number zero can do."

Wiz explained, as everyone could practical hear Boomstick shrug his shoulders, "Eh, there are worse names to be called."

"There are, Boomstick comes to mind." Wiz burned his co-host, as said host glared at him.

Izuku felt his heart leap into his throat. Xero, he was...he was just like him, wasn't he? Raised by their mothers, no fathers. Written off by people simply because he was born weak and while Xero was his legal name, it could have been worse like "Useless" and of course, Deku.

Even if Izuku decide to change the meaning of the word "Deku" from worthless to the name of a hero, it didn't mean the pain of it's former use didn't sting Izuku from time to time. He was thankful Kacchan had lost the venom and heat over the course of the school year.

"Be that as it may, it still doesn't explain how the little kitten survived the second part of the sickness." A member of the Pussy Cats spoke her name was Tomoko Shiretoko aka Ragdoll.

Ragdoll is a young woman of medium height with long, emerald, green hair and big round yellow eyes that are almost always open all the way, with three small eyelashes located toward the top of each eye. As a part of her costume, she draws pink marks on her cheeks that resemble whiskers and a pink circle around her right eye.

Ragdoll sports a yellow version of the Pussycats' hero costume like Mandalay's costume, only yellow.

"Pretty sure they'll say it, so long as we keep watching Ragdoll, though i am too curious too how he survived." The third member of the team, Pixie Bob aka Ryuko Tsuchikawa spoke with a wide grin on her face, "Who knows, he could become a ally or even member of our team! That kitten grows really well."

Her teammates and many adults just gave her odd looks, as All Might leaned over to Mandalay and whispered, "Is she always like this?"

"It's gotten worse, as she's at that age to take a mate."

"Should i fear for my students wellbeing around her?"

"Probably." The red/brown haired woman sighed, despite being single Ryuko was quite the looker. She looked just like them, only her suit was blue, and she had drawn two blue dots on her cheeks whenever she wears it. Complete with blue eyes, and long blonde hair that's mostly combed back save for her bangs.

"Still doesn't explain how he survived."

Wiz sighed at that, "If you read the backstory, you'd known."

"I did! I just read the more epic parts, like him jumping from one time period to another and gaining a massive harem from his sexy as hell Servants."

"WHAT?! HE HAS A HAREM?! I CAN'T EVEN GET A HOT GIRL TO TALK TO ME AND HE HAS AN ENTIRE HAREM, HAS IS THAT FAIR?!"

Do I even need to say it, that came from the two perverts, the lighting boy and grape head of class 1A? Oh wait, i guess i did.

"ANYWAY, Xero survived because his mother committed the worst sins anyone can commit. She went to Blackwood Mountain, started up her own research base there and started kidnapping people, to turn them into flesh eating monsters, so she could figure out how the spirit of the Wendigo, in order to apply it to her son, so when she summoned Jeanne D'Arc, her soul would be bound to his as a Servant and her son would live, when she died from the Blood Sacrifice Ritual she used to save her son...by giving up her own life."

"SAY WHAT NOW?"

"SAY WHAT?!"

Boomstick yelled, completely shocked, "The fuck? Okay, i'm not the smartest when it comes to Magus affairs, but you masters can't summon Ruler class Servants like Jeanne D'Arc, right? Also, why the fuck did she kidnap and kill so many people and turn them into Wengudo?"

"WEN-DEI-GO Boomstick. Wendigo."

"THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW! EVERYONE, SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO THIS BULL!"

"Whatever Wiz, why'd she does something like that? I'm no medic but i'm pretty sure that wouldn't help her son."

Wiz sighed but pushed on, "The reason she did that is because it takes A LOT of magical power to summon a Servant, let alone a specific one without some sort of relic from their past all but making it near impossible to achieve. Seeing as Jeanne was burned to death, there wouldn't be any relic of her left behind making it impossible and a roll of the dice on what Servant you would get. Even then it would have been under lock and key by the Church seeing as she was god's holy woman after all. In any case, Lilith kidnapped all those people and killed many, so she could use their souls in order to power her magic, to summon the Ruler to be a sort of guardian angel to her son. Someone that would steer him onto the right path and keep him safe from her enemies, as she would be gone after her sacrifice, exchanging her life for his. Even if she was pretty damn powerful herself, to summon a Servant without the Grail is nigh impossible. Say what you will about her but any mother, who would willingly commit such heinous crimes, sounds like she was only doing what a mother would do: Protecting her child at all costs and to the bitter end. No matter how dark and evil the crime may be, she did it all in order to save her only son from certain death and you've got to respect her for that. Many parents would have given up, but Lilith didn't."

"Damn. This is one bad mother; you do not want to get on the bad side of."

"Hell have no fury like a woman's scorn and a mother protecting her cubs." Gran Torino spoke wisely, as the heroes were a little miffed at the woman's methods, at the very least she did it for her child, for the right reasons. If she did it for a more selfish reason, then she would be considered a villain, but seeing as she did it for her sick son, well, it was just like the older hero said.

Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn.

"The path to hell is paved with good intentions." All Might mused to himself, remembering how One For All came to be. True, All For One's intentions probably weren't for the best, the fact he gave a Quirk to his younger brother, either to help him or force him to submit was unclear but it did ensure he would be here today.

As the Symbol of Peace.

The irony shouldn't be lost on anyone, least of all himself.

"But that doesn't explain why she forcefully turned those people into Wegugdo."

"Wegdui?" Kaminari asked, eyebrows furrowed, "What is that anyway?"

"A WENDIGO, is a folk lore monster, an evil spirit taking the shape of a cannibalistic giant; a person who has been transformed into a monster by the consumption of human flesh." Momo, being the smart and studious student that she was, knew what it was and spoke up. The students looked impressed, as did the teachers, as Nezu clapped his hands with a large smile on his face.

"Very good Miss Yaoyorozu. Though it is not exactly common knowledge anymore, it is as she said students. A Wendigo is a mythological creature or evil spirit which originates from the folklore of Plains and Great Lakes Natives as well as some First Nations. It is based in and around the East Coast forests of Canada, the Great Plains region of the United States, and the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, grouped in modern ethnology as speakers of Algonquian-family languages. The wendigo is often said to be a malevolent spirit, sometimes depicted as a creature with human-like characteristics, which possesses human beings. The wendigo is said to invoke feelings of insatiable greed/hunger, the desire to cannibalize other humans, as well as the propensity to commit murder in those that fall under its influence. At odds with its portrayals in twentieth century and twenty-first-century settler culture, in some indigenous representations the wendigo is described as a giant humanoid with a heart of ice; a foul stench or sudden, unseasonable chill might precede its approach. Possibly due to longtime identification by Europeans with their own superstitions about werewolves, for example as mentioned in The Jesuit Relations below, Hollywood films back during a time before Quirks, its representation is often labelling a human/beast hybrid featuring antlers or horns with the "wendigo" name, but such animal features do not appear in the original indigenous stories."

"In modern psychiatry the wendigo lends its name to a form of psychosis known as "Wendigo psychosis" which is characterized by symptoms such as: an intense craving for human flesh and an intense fear of becoming a cannibal. Wendigo psychosis is described as a culture-bound syndrome. In some First Nations communities' other symptoms such as insatiable greed and destruction of the environment are also thought to be symptoms of Wendigo psychosis. Although i have never seen it in person before, thankfully, it is rare now a days but not unheard of in the medical community." Recovery Girl finished for Nezu, getting wide eyes from the students and some heroes.

"Wait, didn't that Boomstick guy, Xero's mother forceful CREATE these things?!"

Eyes widen, everyone turned back to the screen, hoping for answers.

"WENDIGO Boomstick and she did it, because the Wendigo are unique creatures."

"THE FUCK?! THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN SHIT!"

"Bakugo clam down!"

"SCREW OFF SHITTY HAIR!"

Boomstick still sounded confused, "Why? What's so unique about them?"

"As many people don't have a chance to study Wendigo, Lilith was about to discovery a unique feature about the Wendigo. When the spirit of the Wendigo possesses a person, the spirit changes the body on a cellular level."

"Cellular what?"

"So, anyone know what that means?" Denki asked, as Momo once again spoke up.

"A cellular level is first and most basic level of organization in the human body's cells. A cell is the basic unit of life and the smallest unit capable of reproduction. While cells vary greatly in their structure and function based on the type of organism, all cells have a few things in common. In the human Cellular functions include a basic life process as protein and lipid (fat) synthesis, cell division and replication, respiration, metabolism, and ion transport as well as providing structural support for tissues, protecting the body against disease or injury, and serving as selective barriers to the passage of-"

"Ok, we get it miss smarty pants, can you just speak English please?"

"Basically, it means that what humans need like water, meat, protein, sunlight and vitamins to function properly are completely ignored when the Wendigo takes over."

Mineta waved his hand to Wiz's explanation, "See, why couldn't you just say that?"

Momo sighed, as Ashido and Toru patted the black-haired girl's back, as Aizawa glared, eyes glowing red and hair rising as he did so, "Okay, that's enough. Let's get back to watching."

"Yes sir!"

Wiz went into greater detail, "Not only does the Wendigo ignored the most basic properties and basic of human needs, the Wendigo have supernatural strength, speed, enhanced senses like hearing and for some odd reason, can climb up walls."

"Like Spider-Man?"

"A very grotesque Spider-Man."

The video, then showed Emily running away from the Wendigo, as it did it's creepy crawling all over the place, as it chased her.

Naturally this got some not so fun reactions from the viewers, as all the students and even some heroes screamed in horror at the sight of the Wendigo.

"AHH, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!"

"OH GOD THAT THING IS DISGUSTING!"

"WHO THE HELL CAME UP WITH SUCH A CREATURE AND WHY?!"

"ALL OF YOU, ENOUGH!" Eraserhead finally had enough of the yelling, using his Quirk to make everyone shut up,"You are all heroes in training and have to deal with monsters like this on a daily basis, so suck it up and deal with it. Otherwise, you can leave the hero course right here and now if you can't deal with sights like this."

The students slowly but surely clammed down, as Nezu, Vlad King, Recovery Girl, Gran Torino and the rest of the heroes nodded at Aizawa's ability to control his kids. As bad as it was, the kids would have to learn how to deal with sights like this, even if ones like Pixie Bob and Hawks were clearly disgusted and repulsed by the sight of the creature before them.

"Holy shit, now THAT is the face, not even a mother could love."

"No kidding. Ribbit." Even the stoic and blunt Asui looked a little green at the creature.

"Even if she did, it would be very likely that mother would get her face ripped off and eaten." Boomstick winced, "Yikes. Well, that's one way to deal with a nagging mom. Just bite her face off and eat her flesh."

"Oi, that is so not manly."

The redhead, hardening boy of class 1A spoke, glaring at the screen. Everyone, even the bunny hero agreed,"You said it kid."

"In any case, Lilith would end up sealing certain memories of Xero's life in order to protect him from her many, many enemies and even made it so that no one could speak his last name, Mazoku." Wiz said, "He would later unlock his memoires at age seventeen, after he left the last Bastion of Humanity, Chaldea. As in the Magus world, the Mazoku clan is one of the OLDEST family out there and one of the few reaming Magus clans from the Age of The Gods."

"His last name literary translation to 'Supernatural beings' in Japanese." Boomstick spoke, filling in some gaps, "Typically towards evil ones like demons or devils. Man, why can't i have a last name that translate to demon or something, that be cool."

"I don't know but yes, Xero's last name does fit his family natural abilities pretty well, as the blood members of the family aren't fully human."

"Huh?"

Everyone looked confused at that, as Mina asked, "So, what is he some sort of alien or something?"

"Or maybe an actual demon?!" Toru spoke worriedly, as Tokoyami looked up at.

"You may be closer to the truth then you think. Dark Shadow sensed something from Lord Mazoku in the brief time we were in his presence."

"You sure about that bird boy? I didn't sense anything from the kid, and he looks pretty human to me."

Hawks merely shrugged at Miruko's words, "Maybe if we keep watching, it'll tell us Rumi."

"Hmmm." Ragdoll hummed, despite her energetic nature leaving her unable to sit still for long, she was remembering how she tried to use her Quirk on the cute kitten but felt like she was hitting a brick wall, was this part of the reason why?

It was Wiz who explained, as the screen changed, to show Miria and the rest of the warriors before the War in the North,"Long before recorded history, there were creatures that hunted the human race known simply as, The Yoma. A subspecies of human, who's origins are as dangerous as the Yoma themselves, they hunt mankind to eat any and all humans."

"Namely human GUTS! Not flesh, not faces or even legs, those gross things eat human GUTS." Fuck, i can't even make a joke about it, it's just too gross to think about. BLEH."

And everyone is beginning to puke as the images on the screen changed to show the Yoma tearing into people's stomachs and eating their enthralls. Even the purple haired and blonde perv's, who were ogling the hot, sliver eyed woman begin to throw up, unable to hold their stomachs.

"Which is where these ladies come in!" Boomstick grinned, as he gestured to Miria and the others, "Claymores, Sliver Eyed Witch's, Warriors, call them what you will but i call them, hot-"

"HYBRIDS of human and Yoma, created for the soul purpose of combatting the Yoma." Wiz cut off Boomstick, as he spoke more in depth of the Warriors, "The Warriors were created by a group called the Organization-

"How original and edgy."

Wiz nodded in agreement, "The ORGANIZATION created these human/Yoma hybrids warriors to combat the threat of the Yoma but at a steep price. As they would later find out, the same Organization had in fact created the Yoma, by rounding up orphan boys and sending them to the North while the girls are sent to the East to become Claymores. They are created by combining the flesh of both a humanoid and an "Awakened" Asarakam, which forms a parasite with trans-figurative abilities that is capable of infecting the brains of unsuspecting human hosts. The end result is a Yoma."

"Damn, no wonder Xero is so paranoid of the any and all governments, even before his family was created, they were using people as human weapons and tools. Fuck."

"THE FUCK?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS, WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY DO THAT?!"

"The reason the Organization did this, is because they're own bosses were at war with the Asarakam or 'Dragon Kin' and decide the best way to handle them, were to create living weapons in the form of the Claymores." Wiz said answering Bakugo's question.

All Might and Izuku perked up at that, both frowning and thinking back to the Nomu, as did Bakugo, Kirishima and Todoroki. All remembered how Shigaraki bragged about Nomu's many abilities and basically called him a living weapon made to kill the Symbol of Peace.

"And it looks like Young Mazoku's ancestors were treated the same way...disposable weapons and tools to be thrown away at a moment's notice." Yagi frowned; it sounded like this 'Organization' operated just like All For One. Using and tricking people till he could use them to their fullest and when their usefulness ran out, throw them away like trash.

"If that wasn't enough, the ASSganization made certain that anyone and everyone would hate or fear the Warriors, be intentional leaking how the Warriors were made and ensured fear and distrust would be bred among the common folk, to the point everyone would fear to even be LOOKED at by a Warrior would get them killed. Even if some of them are hotter then super models in those tight body suits." Boomstick grinned at the sights of the warrior women in the very, VERY tight body suits.

"Just like how those with Quirks were treated during the first age of Quirk users." Nezu mused with a sad smile, even today many people with mutant Quirks were feared and hated as a result turned many to villainy. It was a sad fact about human nature to fear what they do not understand and as a result, that fear turns to hate, and people turned that hate on those whose only crime was being born that way.

Even the Quirkless were hated for, what many saw as a 'deficiency'.

Wiz said nothing to his co-host perverted comment, instead just keep explaining, "Actually, the Organization did this, as a way to ensure that the Claymores wouldn't be able to 'runaway' once they realized what was going on. Quite a few Warriors saw what was really going on but because of them having nowhere to go and the Organization so deeply brainwashing their Warriors, none of their fellow Warriors would believe them before it was too late."

"The only reason Miria figured it out was a combination of dumb luck and the fact she and many of the 'troublemakers' were sent on a suicide mission that they had no chance of succeeding. Yeah, that'll get you thinking that maybe your bosses are TRYING to legitimately kill you without making it too obvious. You think you have a shit boss, talk to these ladies and see how good you have it."

"Okay, seriously that is dumb!" Mina yelled, as Toru nodded, not that you could see it of course.

"Yeah, why would they do that?"

"Power."

Endeavor's sudden voice and reasoning caused all of the angry class 1A members to look at him in shock.

"Power?" Izuku spoke, clear confusion in his voice, "I understand that the Warriors are strong, but every hero has to be in order to fight monsters and villains. Right?"

"You misunderstand boy. Those who have power will ALWAYS be feared by those that don't have power. Everyone, even All Might is feared to a certain degree because of the sheer power he and i wield. The weak will always fear the strong and look for ways to snuff them out, something you all, especially you Shoto would be wise to remember."

"Sadly, Endeavor speaks the truth." The kids all looked to All Might in shock, he was agreeing with his rival. The large titan man sighed, losing his smile as he spoke in a very serious tone of voice, "You all grew up in a time where Quirks are widely accepted and beloved even by the common folk. But what you don't realize is that how easily Quirks can be used to kill, as Aizawa and Thirteen have already taught you how easy is is for certain Quirks, like her blackhole can kill. Image if I went and became a villain, killing unrepentant. The heroes might be able to stop me but trust in heroes would be all but shattered. Remember this kiddo's, this is what you're training for, to protect the innocent and weak from those who abuse their powers for their own selfish reasoning."

"For all that we have worked for, all that we have achieved can be destroyed with just ONE action or worse, inaction."

"And be wary of those you work for. As this proves, not everyone in charge has the best of intentions, as we are clearly seeing now. It's a slippery slope and one tumble can ruin us all." Best Jeanist and Night Eye spoke wisely, finishing All Might's giving the kids a lot to think about, especially Katsuki and Izuku, thinking about their past and what happened after Bakugo got his Quirk, while Izuku didn't.

All the while completely unaware of the true horrors to come and just how far people will go, when they are afraid of those with unbelievable power.

"Deku, are you alright?"

Izuku blinked, as he looked at his first friend and best friend, Ochako and Tenya looking concern at him, "Huh? Oh yeah i'm okay, just thinking is all."

"Nice to see someone imploring thinking. I'll tell you broccoli head, no one uses there head anymore and that's not when i want head anyway."

Izuku jumped and spun around to see the smirking face of Tony Stark aka Iron Man looking at him.

"M-Mr. Stark, i didn't see you there!"

"Well, that's just insulting. If you know who i am, then you should know that Tony Stark does not do subtle, as i'm large then life."

From what Izuku knew of Tony from the old comics, before the time of Quriks, the green bean wasn't surprised to hear that coming out of the Stark's mouth. The man had a need to be sassy and arrogant at the best of times, even after he became Iron Man.

It seems the comic were indeed right about him.

The green haired boy blinked in surprised, when he found the rest of the Avengers and everyone else from Earth 616, even Remnant too, that wasn't a Servant here as well.

"Why are you all here, sir?"

"Don't call me sir kid, I'm not that old." Tony grumbled, before getting more serious, "We're here because we want to learn more about my son. Believe it or not, even i don't know that much about my son or his life before we found him."

"Really?"

His first friend, Ochako blinked in surprised, as she titled her head, "Aren't you two closes?"

"We are but he has a hard time opening up to...anyone. From what I've learned, the Magus culture revolves around keeping secrets, especially from non-Magi. I try not to push it, but it gets kind of annoying, when they talk about something i have no knowledge about and i keep getting left out of the loop because my kiddo can't open up to me. Not that i can blame him, being screwed over so many times, some by people you trusted tends to damage one's trust. Though, I'm sure YOU of all people know that better than most."

Oh...oh right, there world was nothing more than an anime on Earth 616. Just as the Avengers and people like Spider Man and the X Men were nothing more than just comic book characters.

Which meant they knew about his past...the past with Bakugo, where his friend turned into his bully and tormenter...And they knew about ONE FOR ALL! THEY KNEW ABOUT ALL MIGHT'S INJURY AND HIS WEAK FORM! CRAP!

"You okay kid, you look ready to have a seizure Captain America asked him, causing his two friends two friends to look at him worryingly, as Izuku nodded rapidly, "Yep, yep I'm fine, just uh, amazed to actually take to legendary heroes like you, captain."

From the look on his face, the huge super soldier didn't buy it but thankfully, let it go as Pepper, THE Pepper Potts lightly wacked Tony on the back of his head, as she scolded him for giving Izuku a near heart attack. To be fair, he did but for completely different reasons then the woman thought. "Leave the kid alone Tony, it looks like you're going to give him a heart attack. I know you like to be bigger than life but i think this is taking it a tab bit too far."

Tony merely huffed at Banner's voice, "This coming from a guy who broke Harlem, just because someone looked at him the wrong way and caused a dragon of all things to come from her slumber, just to find out what's causing all the noises? Ya, you're not one to talk Burcey."

Bruce playful shoved Tony, as everyone took their seats, only to look with wide eyes, as suddenly all those that had originally been taken away, Jacques, Whitely, Adam, Raven, Vernal, Roland, Cinder and her followers suddenly reappeared, dazed and confused.

"Oi, book guy, why did you bring these guys back?" Tony asked, as he gestured to the dizzy looking criminals, assholes businessmen and bandits, as the older man ignored him in favor of the villains.

"It may be a bit foolish from a strategist standpoint, to reveal one's strengths and weakness but seeing as i am such a nice person, i decide to give these people one last chance to back down before they did something they can't take back. As you already know, you were sent away because you were deemed too toxic for the rest of our audience and while some of you are already beyond help, there are some who aren't."

The Curator pointedly looked at Emerald and Whitely as he spoke, making Jacques and Cinder narrow their eyes in suspicion at their subordinate/son. who froze at being called out by the Curator.

"No way, Cinder i would nev-"

"Betray you? It won't be you who does it but her." Asia spoke sadly, as she looked at the green haired girl with a look of empathy and understand crossing her face, "You remind me of how i used to be loyal to the wrong people. I was raised in the Church for most of my life, believing that they were my friends and family, only to learn the horrible truth that they were only using me. I was too blinded by my loyalty to them, that it was only when i was on death's door and saved by Xero-sama, did I learn that horrid truth. I think the reason the Curator is doing this, is so that Cinder doesn't drag you down with her, when she inevitable dies at Xero-sama's hand."

"Who says that Cinder will lose?" The green haired girl growled, pissed that the little blonde knew what she felt for Cinder and for assuming she would lose to some rich boy like Mazoku. No, there's no way Cinder would lose to someone like him.

"Because she's fighting Xero-sama, you can't win." Asia said simply, as if it was fact and to her, it was. There was just no logical or anyway for Cinder to win against Xero in anyway or form in the blonde mind. The dismissal by the healer made Emerald growl even more, looking ready to actually jump on the blonde, despite how badly it ended last time.

"Emerald enough." While Cinder was also just as pissed at Asia's response, she was smart enough to know she needed all the info she could get, if she hoped to go against a monster like him and his Avengers.

"Why are you doing this?" Adam asked, wondering why the Curator would do something as reckless and foolish as this. The older man merely said.

"As i said, i like to think I'm a nice guy. As you have not done anything that cannot be forgiven yet, there is still hope for some of you, so i believe showing you this will give you pause. Make you rethink your actions and chose a better path, rather than the doomed one you're on now. I like to think i am preventing needless bloodshed, as enough blood has been spilled and while more will be spilled, it does not have to be yours. Considered THIS as a second chance of sorts, one that will decide your fate, based on what you decide to do with the information you acquire here and now."

That made sense and while Adam doubted, he would change, he would take the golden opportunity before him, as did the other villains. Ones like Raven and her tribesman doubted that would change but kept their mouths shut, knowing that this would be critical in defending against the monster in human skin, even if Raven had to ignore the glare/disappointing looks her daughter, former leader and brother were sending her.

Fools.

They were all fools; Salem couldn't be beat, and they knew it. Clinging to false hope was beyond foolish and would only get them killed. She already repaid her debt to Summer by saving her, so she could raise her two brats, she wouldn't be getting a second one.

"This is a bad idea." Winter muttered to herself but otherwise, said nothing. Not after getting her ass handed to her verbally and embarrassed herself enough for one day. Even if she firmly believed Mazoku was a clear and present threat to not just Atlas but everything they hold dear, there was very little she could do.

Everyone was eating out of the pam of his hands and had many powerful supports. She would need to find a new approach to deal with this new threat and until then, she'd need to keep her head low. Even though it was clear everyone else thought the same as her about these villains suddenly reappearing to view Mazoku's achievements and what not, it was a bad move on the Curator's part.

She didn't like, believed he was a threat and should be considered as such but no matter how much she hated to admit it, Winter knew Mazoku was needed. His knowledge at the very least, of their new enemies and the Cult but even then, he wasn't as bad as Taurus and that damned bandit tribe.

Mazoku might be a wild card, but those two were known factors and bad factors that will do anything to stay atop of things. The boy beat Atlas's best team, very easily at that and if he were to clash with either of those factors or better yet, Salem's minions or the Grimm queen herself, it may prove their end...or his own. There was just no way to know until it actually happened.

At the very least that Cinder woman and Taurus would lose badly against the leader of the Avengers. He'd be doing the world a big favor getting rid of those two and weaken their enemies immensely.

As Winter thought this, everyone else took their seats, the newly arrived villains took seats the furthest away from the heroes, even if they ignored the newly arrived guests, who were completely confused on who these people were but couldn't question, as the video started up again.

"Ya know, people think being a hybrid could be a good thing. Being a human/Yoma hybrid means a lot of things, for one you don't have to eat or sleep for days on end, have super human speed, strength, inhuman flexible like a goddamn human pretzel, can stretch their limbs like Mr. Fantastic to be used as a deadly weapon or just grabbing things(Or people), able to heal fatal wounds on command, regrow or reattach lost limbs that have been cut off, got superior senses compared to normal humans, and even have eternal youth. Kinda like a supped-up lizard that got his hands on the fountain of youth. Sounds like a sweet deal to me." Boomstick started off, leaving the audience in awe at the Warriors abilities.

"Oh man, that sounds like someone having multiple Quirks at once. Man, i am so jealous, aside from being hated by everyone around you, it sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me." Sero spoke with a grin, as Izuku felt pain in his head, like he was trying to recall a forgotten memory but couldn't quite make it out.

"It's not that simple you know." Gudako interrupted the heroes in training, getting questioning looks her way.

"What do you mean, Lady Gudako?"

"Keep watching."

Wiz however, put a large damper on Sero's amazement with some cold, hard truth, "Well, yeah that all sounds sweet, but you forget Boomstick, back in the first generation of Warriors, Miria and the others had to fight for control of their bodies against the Yoma day in and day out. Every second of every day was a brutal struggle for survival as the Yoma bite and clawed at the back of their minds for control. If that wasn't bad enough, they could only use 80% of their power, least the Yoma take FULL control and even then, the more they use their Yoki, the closer they came to Awakening."

"Oh."

The two heroes now felt like asses, failing to remember the old saying: All power comes with a price.

Always.

"Yoki? Awakening? Is that bad? It sounds bad." Nejire spoke, looking confused, as did everyone as Nezu hummed.

"Perhaps this Yoki of theirs, is the source of their power? Though this 'Awakening' of theirs, sounds like the moment the Yoma takes full control and overpowers the human half."

"Sounds like it, Nezu sir."

"Oh, right. Well shit i forgot about that part." Boomstick sounded sheepish, as Wiz merely laughed.

"Kinda hard to forget what powers the Yoma have Boomstick."

"And you are right sir."

Nezu hummed, as he took a sip of his tea, mentally thanking the Curator for allowing him to summon such a pleasure with the power of his very big brain.

"Anyway, Yoki or as it's otherwise known as Demon Energy is the energy of a Yoma. When a Claymore is created, then assimilates the yoki of the particular Yoma used to create them, which is a variable in determining on the level of strength they use. Claymores use certain amounts of Yoki to increase their strength, speed, or rate of regeneration, and many use their Yoki to be able to create special, unique, and/or advanced moves."

"One of those advanced moves if Miria's Phantom technique and Quick Sword Irene's Quick sword style."

The scene changed, showing Miria using her Phantom to vanish and reappear, leaving afterimages of herself behind as she killed Yoma and then to Irene, with two Yoma's jumping her...Only for the two Yoma to burst into a million pieces and fall to the group, dead without a single drop of blood touching Irene, as she walked.

"Amazing!"

Uraraka looked on with wide eyes, as she clapped her hands, "I think they're even fasting then you Iida."

"Indeed. I couldn't even keep up with their movements." Tenya nodded, pushing his glasses up, looking very impressed, "I don't think even my big brother or anyone in my family can move THAT fast, let alone keep up with these Warrior's. The sheer speed they've displayed is beyond anything i have ever seen before."

"Pssh, please i can make babies that can go faster than any of them!" Mei boasted, as Izuku rubbed his chin, deep in thought, while he wrote in his book.

"This Yoki they use sounds like it can do amazing things. I wonder why it's so dangerous to use though. Is it possible they can increase their strength and speed so freely or does it take a toll on their bodies? Does it shred their muscles whenever they use it and rebuild them, or do they stay naturally like that? Does Yoki act like Quirks do with similar abilities like speed and strength or is it a completely different system involved when using Yoki?"

And there goes Izuku off into one of his infamous mumbling rants, as Bakugo glared at the green bean and yelled, "SHUT UP YOU DAMN NERD AND WATCH!"

Izuku did just that, as Boomstick cut in.

"However, like with all great power Yoki has its own drawbacks and the main one is that its usage places great strain on a Claymore's mind and spirit, eventually overpowering the human will and causing the victim to Awaken. Not a thing you want, in case you couldn't figure it out, but Awakening is bad."

"Very bad."

The scene changed once again, to show an almost fully Awakened Priscilla at 80% Yoki power.

Pixie Bob winced at the sight of the deformed and crying blonde, "Oh...Yeah, that looks really bad. Is this what happens when a Warrior goes over their limit?"

"She looks worse than All Might/me when he/i finished fighting that Nomu creature."

Both the green bean and blonde titan thought at the same time, remembering the end of the attack on the USJ.

"Hell, he looks worse than you Bruce."

The man known as the Hulk nodded, knowing that, while the green goliath was a scary sight to behold, this scene was much worse compared to him. Yikes was he glad the Hulk looked the way he did.

"Oh damn, someone's having a bad day."

"Dude, that is an understatement." Sero shook his head, as Tokoyami closed his eyes.

"Those who seek power and use that power foolishly will be consumed by it."

"Wise words kid." Hawks nodded at the bird boy's words, easily understanding the truth behind them.

"That is an understatement. You see, this was a Warrior, who shall one day be known as the One Horned Monster, but once before that she was known as Priscilla. Like every other girl before her, she lost her family to the Yoma and with nowhere to go, sought out the Organization to gain the power to get revenge on the monsters. However, what they failed to take into account was her mental state and seeing as what happened to her...Eh, hehehe, let's just say she is not the type you'd want to give, unimaginable power too. Cause she'll kill every Yoma she finds...And anyone else that would be foolish enough to get in her way."

"Yeah, and the only one who ever had a chance against her, already CUT short before she Awakened."

The scene didn't change, just keep going showing Priscilla cut off Teresa's hands and then BEHEADING her.

Everyone winced at the scene, the students gagging at the sight of such a quick and effective kill with an insanely large blade.

"Shit, now i know what they mean, when they say, don't LOSE your head at work."

"..."

Nothing was said for a few minutes, as Boomstick said, in a very bland tone, "This is why you should leave the jokes to me Wiz, your jokes are worse than mine. They're so bad that they aren't even funny bad, just sad more than anything else."

"Hehehe, yeah okay."

Despite not being able to see him, everyone can clearly hear Wiz slumping at his fail of a joke.

"THAT JOKE WAS TERRIBLE! EVEN THAT DAMN NERD COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER THAN THAT!"

"Hell, i can do better than that and i don't even joke." The battle hunger bunny spoke agreeing with Bakugo, finding Wiz's joke terrible and not in the funny way.

Shaking off his bad attempt at humor, Wiz pushed on, "Anyway, Miria, Xero's first ancestor would met what is basically his first grandfather, Augustus Mazoku. A young man that was blessed by the Goddess of Magic's champion and the first Magus to ever wield magic: Ymir the Giant."

Cue a record being scratch.

"Wait, what?!"

"Ymir the Giant? Isn't she the first being ever created within Norse mythology?" Izuku questioned, as Momo nodded.

"She is. It is she that upon her death, she created all that we see before us. In the legend she was created from the drops of water that formed when the ice of Niflheim met the heat of Muspelheim."

"Indeed, once again i must commend your intelligence miss Yaoyorozu. Not many people read up on the old legends, the same goes for you Mr. Midoriya."

The two blushed, as Bakugo scoffed but said nothing.

"Oh man, you two are so smart, it's awesome at how much you two know."

Well, that didn't stop 'Shitty Hair' from complementing them, making Izuku duck his head at the praise and for Momo to beam at it. It was also nice to get praise after all.

"Not the Ymir from the Norse legends, but the very first Magus to ever be created by the Goddess of Magic. No one, not even the Mazoku's or any of the old families knew where she came from, her origins are completely shrouded in mystery. The only thing that is known for certain, is that this Ymir was chosen by the youngest of the three Goddesses to share magic with the world. The other two goddess at the time, where known as the Twin Goddess of Love, Teresa and Clare."

"The same name of the Warrior Priscilla killed and basically orphaned a second time?"

The scene showed Teresa beheaded and little Clare watching the entire thing with wide eyes.

"Yes, and goddamn, somebody get this kid a proper parent figure, one that won't let her damn guard down next time! Seriously, for someone called the 'Strongest Warrior Ever' sure went out like a chump!"

"Let this be a lesson students. It doesn't matter how fast, strong or skilled you are, you are only human. Heck, even All Might could die in such a manner if he let his guard down like that, so be certain to remember this and learn from it."

Aizawa said, as the students all nodded, "Yes Mr. Aizawa!"

"Hmmm. Didn't Xero mention this Teresa once before?"

Pepper asked Tony, as he rubbed his chin in thought, "I think so, though i think it was mostly because of how badly she went out like. What should have been an epic battle that would spur onto legend for years to come, only for it to end in a very anticlimactic way."

"Ugh, anyway, time went on as the Warriors fought back to gain their freedom, blah, blah, blah, stuff happened, the Yoma died out, blah, blah, blah, the Magus made their own kingdom blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada the Magus nearly got wiped out lots of different times over the centuries and now fast forwarding to the present, onto more cool stuff like modern day magic and how it is often called, Magecraft: The science of magic." Boomstick spoke at first in a board tone, before he slowly became excited as Wiz packed onto what Boomstick was saying.

"Yes, in today's world most magic is used and passed down in the form of Magecraft and these users are commonly called either Wizards or Magus. Xero himself is, as stated before, come from an Ancient clan of magic users and thus has many more natural advantages over modern."

"This boy has a whooping total of 100 magic circuits in his body. These circuits are basically pseudo-nervous system that spreads itself through the human body and what qualifies a person to be a Magus. They have two basic functions; one is to convert Life Force into Magical Energy, and another is to allow their owner to access Greater Magic Formulae that is, Thaumaturgical Foundations. They also are paths that connect the material world to the astral plane. To perform mysteries, a Magus sends a command and Magical Energy to a Thaumaturgical Foundation through his Magic Circuits and activates one of the Magic Formulae (魔術式, Majutsu Shiki?) included in the Foundation as if someone switched a computer on and sends it commands to run a computer program."

"You're reading all that off of TYPE-MOON aren't you, Boomstick?" Wiz accused his co-host, as said man didn't even deny it.

"I am but HOLY SHIT! THE MAN NOT ONLY HAS 100 CIRCUITS, BUT HE'S ALSO GOT A GODDAMN MAGICAL CORE AND HE'S EVEN GOT A REALITY MARBLE! THIS IS SO COOL!"

"I don't know what any of that means, but Boomstick is getting me HYPED UP!" Sato yelled out with a grin, as the hardening Quirk user joined him.

"ME TOO! ALSO, WHAT'S A REALITY MARBLE?! IT SOUNDS AWESOME!"

Cinder did nothing more than grit her teeth, feeling that the more she learned, the more she realized just how outclassed the Reaper was compared to her. She was strong, stronger than most people her age but this boy, this man?

He sounded completely monstrous.

Emerald saw her mistress's angry and dare she say, fear.

She wasn't stupid, even if she had full faith that Cinder could beat anything that came there way, this was beginning to become too much. Nothing had been going right since Earth merged with Remnant. Not only have the leaders of Earth decide to work together to create a better future for their world, but they had also very powerful defenders that could easily outmatch anything Remnant could throw at them.

The Curator showed them Mazoku easily thrashing the so called "Ace-Ops", picking them apart like cotton candy and even swayed one of their members to join his side to boot! He wasn't even trying, Mazoku was holding back his strength, how much, she didn't know, and it made Cinder even more furious to know that this kid was clearly stronger than her.

Normally, this would be the kind of talent Cinder would usually try to sway or strong arm them to her side, but this was one person she couldn't, much to her rage and frustration and if Cinder wasn't happy, then neither was Emerald.

Her usually response would have been to get rid of what made her mistress angry or send someone else to do it, but she wasn't strong enough to stand up to Mazoku and neither was Adam. If Mr. Emo had gone up against the Ace-Ops, it would have been a very close fight but seeing how effortless and easily Mazoku took them down, while holding back meant not even that useless Faunus could make himself useful for once.

No matter how she looked at it, one way or another, Mazoku had to die.

Plain and simple.

"Maybe it be better to go after his troops and family first."

Yeah, i think we all know how well that's going to end.

Wiz sighed good naturally, as he spoke, "Yeah, Xero is indeed very powerful magically and even has his own Reality Marble. To those that don't know, a Reality Marble is one that centers around the materialization and projection of one's inner world onto reality following the Thaumaturgical Theory World Egg (世界卵, Sekai Tamago?). Originally, it was an ability specifically had by daemons as their Alien Common Sense (異界常識, Ikai Jōshiki?), but has since come to include the unique Bounded Fields possessed by many people, [ such as the Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors and the greatest of magi who have made this ability available to use through a long time. As such, Reality Marbles represent the pinnacle of all Bounded Fields where the boundary line becomes the space itself."

"Basically, it means Xero can outwardly push his mindscape, his inner world out into the real world or bring people into his own inner world. Man, wish i could do that but they're very rare and you have to be born with one. Lucky bastard." Boomstick with a huff.

"EEEEEHHHHHHHH! THIS IS SO COOL!" Mina squealed with Ruby matching her height in volume, as did many, while the adults were left slacked jaw and in awe, some even had a twinge of fear prickling their hearts. He...he can do what now?

"It is!" Ruby agreed, eyes equally wide in wonder. Sure, she heard the term and how it was explained but seeing it up close and now, Ruby could see just how rare it truly was and how amazing it was.

"Amazing!" Izuku cheered with wide eyes, starry eyed and nearly dropped his analyzation book in his excitement as was Tenya and Ochako.

"Mirio, Mirio did you hear that?!" Nejire cheered, as she rapidly patted the taller blonde's board shoulder, as he looked just as star stuck as Izuku, as he grinned.

"I did Nejire and i must say, i am hyped to learn more on what Xero can do!"

"I'm not." The shy member of the Big Three shivered in pure terror, not wanting that kind of power turned on him in ANY shape of form. Just LOOKING at it was terrifying enough as it was, to have it aimed at him, in real life no less, he'd be running for the hills! Despite not being a pro-hero, he's been around the block enough to know an unwinnable battle when he saw one.

"Ugh, i swear that kid is making us look bad by having so many abilities, Neo." The mute assassin wordless nodded at Roman. Nevertheless, both criminals, FORMER criminals knew that siding him was the right move and this only reinforced that belief.

"Though, with all that power and ability meant Xero had to train and train HARD, in order to master his power. For if he made one mistake, even one hair out of place could result in his permanent end. After all, to be a Magus is to walk with death." Wiz said, as the screen changed to show Xero sitting cross-legged, trying to create a small fire between his cupped hands.

"So basically, if he makes a mistake, even the smallest, tiniest one he dies right?" Boomstick asked.

"Yes, Boomstick. Just ONE hair out of place and he dies. No ifs or buts about it and it's not just Xero but all Magus walk with death. To master their craft, their magic could mean the difference between life and death."

"Damn and with all that power, it was nigh impossible to gain complete control over it, but Xero did it and mastered his magical power. It's a good thing Xero has a natural talent for magic, otherwise we'd might not be here right now! Still, I'd love to be a Magus too, means i can cast all kinds of cool magic spells and summoning people!"

Of course, the enthusiasm and amazement of Magecraft and Magus sunk faster than a rock in a lake with those words spoken. They all became quiet and disheartened at the fact Xero or any Magus could die if they make a mistake, no matter how small it was.

"He really is just like me." Izuku looked at his scarred hand, gripping his hand tightly. Before he could even THINK about using One For All, he had to build up his body to the point he'd become a worthy vessel for All Might's Quirk. If he didn't, then his body would have been broken and destroyed beyond all belief or possible been out right killed if he misused the power.

Just like if Xero made a mistake in using his magic.

Even then, breaking all his bones with just one punch could easily spell Izuku's doom if he wasn't careful. As Mr. Aizawa said, he couldn't save anyone, if he himself needed saving.

Giving unbelievable power at a young age and told to make do or else you'll die a painful, horrible death. The green bean smiled, maybe there was a chance the two could be friends and perhaps the Mazoku might be able to teach him how to control One For All better. Their power sounded similar enough that the older teen could give Izuku a few pointers or at least, keep him from breaking all his bones!

Any help would be more then welcomed.

After the events of the USJ and the Sports festival, he couldn't allow himself to remain the way he was. He needed to get stronger and fast.

Wiz then spoke, as the scene showed a young Xero(Getting squeals and cooes from the woman and girls at seeing 'baby Xero' and jealous glares from the pervert duo) doing a number of jobs with Jeanne,"After his mother's sacrifice and with his memory a bit jarring, Xero would proceed to wander around the world with his faithful partner, Ruler Jeanne D'Arc doing a number of odd jobs and gigs to stay alive."

"But that all changed when he was invited to join the Security Organization. An organization that was formed to protect humanity from threats both without and within. Also, to prevent the sudden 'certain extinction' of the human race and was originally an inside joke, that all changed when a Dick named Lev decide to do what he did best: Betrayal."

"Oh man, now it's going to get real." Sero spoke, as everyone quieted down and leaned forward, wanting to know what happened.

Even Bakugo, Endeavor and Miruko. Fuck even Raven, Cinder and Adam paid more attention, wondering just what would happen next. Anything that would give them a leg up over Mazoku.

"Indeed, Lev was a spy for an evil entity that was hell bent on wiping out humanity...And succeed." Wiz said grimly, "As Chaldea scrambled to find suitable Magus to become a, as they call it 'master candidate's'. People that had the potential powerful familiars known as Heroic Spirits or Servants as they're commonly called. These Heroic Spirits or Servants often take the form of known historical, mythical, and literary figures from various cultures. Each servant has a class and possesses active skills, passive skills, and a Noble Phantasm."

"Basically, you summon a powerful bodyguard to your side, one who's power depends on how well they were and WHO they were."

"A Prime example of the strongest Saber class Servant in the world, King 'Arthur' or as is her real name, Artoria Pendragon." Wiz spoke, as the screen changed, showing Artoria in her armor, standing atop a pile of bodies with her legendary sword, Excalibur in hand in a show of victory.

"Wait, her? I thought king Arthur was a man?" Mina asked, kinda disappointed at not seeing her childhood fantasy prince charming. Make no mistake, the woman on screen was very pretty and while Mina liked boys, she couldn't deny the heat that grew to her cheeks at the pretty blonde.

"History often makes mistakes like these, but seeing as she was born into a time where is was an inconceivable of a female being in power, Saber had to hide her true gender to lead her people." Olga said simply, making the pink skinned girl puff up in annoyance, as did Ruby.

"That's not fair!"

"That's the way of the world red, best get use to it."

"Eh, just to be clear Wiz, are we talking about the one from Xero's original timeline or another version from the various timelines?" As Boomstick asked this, the screen changed, showing the various versions of Artoria known to Xero and Gudako.

Mineta and Kaminari openly ogled and drooled over the bustier versions of Artoria's, as all the men, yes, ALL the men blushed hard at the sight of the various versions of the woman known as King Arthur. But don't think the girls didn't get their own eye candy, as they all focused on the handsome, short haired blonde man with green eyes and cool, confident smile.

Though Jiro looked at the two Lancer's breasts and full figures before looking down at her own, feeling envy and bitterness swell up with her, causing her to glare at the Servants.

"This is so not fair."

Even ones like Momo and Pixie Bob felt the streams of jealousy worm their way into their hearts, feeling like they've been upstaged by the much more bustier, beautiful women on screen. Even the flat chested ones like the Dark Saber and Rider versions made them feel like they've been sloted for second.

They were pretty and beautiful sure but the women on screen.

They were drop dead gorgeous!

"What in the world are they eating to make their breasts grow that big?! It's so not fair!"

"Yes Boomstick, we're talking about the 'original' Artoria and the second Servant Xero summoned. THAT Saber." Wiz said, as a picture of Artoria Saber appeared on screen.

"Oh, well damn. I forgot Xero's got the devil lucks." Boomstick said, as he lightly smacked himself for forgetting.

"Indeed, he does and because of that luck, he became the leader of the last Bastion of Humanity, after it was destroyed by the Seven Demon God Pillars and their leader, Solomon." The screen changed to show the King of Magus for all to see.

"Who was later on revealed to be the first Beast of Humanity, the King of the Demon God Pillars, Goetia. Damn, despite summoning exotic and hot women, i don't think i would want the entire fate of the human race and it's future resting on my shoulders against THAT thing." Boomstick shuddered.

The scene then showed the Beast class Servant himself in all his terrifying glory.

Goetia was huge, beast like with deer horns on his head, a humanoid face with golden, tree trunk arms and legs with a eerily purple glow coming from his ribbed open chest, glowing with unnatural power.

A Pen could be heard dropped, as Izuku actually did drop his in reading to write down notes about Xero, when they heard what happened to make Xero a living legend.

"What? Humanity was..."

"Destroyed?"

Iida whispered out, as Mina chocked on the air, as the students looked horrified at what they were hearing, Bakugo included. The heroes weren't faring any better, as even the most stoic looked shocked and filled with horror at what they were hearing. No, no way that couldn't be!

Could it?

Some, like the Grape haired pervert passed out in horror at the sight of the Beast and even if it was just a memory, the Demon King presence still induced bowel letting terror.

"W-what the hell is that thing?" Shoto actually shuttered out in horror, unable to tear his eyes away from the monster before them.

No, it can't be, it couldn't be...WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON?!

"THAT...Is the face of true evil kid, the monsters my son has to face." Tony said simply, as everyone just kept staring at the screen.

"This feeling, it's...it's worse than when i was facing All For One."

All Might shuddered, feeling the sheer overwhelming power this thing possessed. He wasn't the only one, as several others shivered in fear at the sight of the king of the Demon God Pillars, one of them being Cinder, who couldn't help but picture Salem in Gotiea's place.

"It's even worse than when Salem is angry."

Against her will, Cinder felt sweat pouring down her forehead, as she swiftly wiped it away before anyone noticed it.

"And to think Xero and Gudako were able to defeat this guy, now THAT's an impressive feat in on itself."

Boomstick smirked, as Wiz nodded, "But not before solving the seven major Singularities within the timeline, minor ones and later on destroying the seven Lostbelts after defeating the Demon God king, Xero going on several personal journeys throughout his adventures. Two of which were a part of his Eight Trails of Magic. So, let's get into his background, to better explain to our viewers."

"Way ahead of you buddy!"

"Pff."

Hange silently laughed to herself at the last alias on the list, "Bright eyes? Ha, well Xero-chan does have very bright eyes but that sounds like something Levi would come up with."

Which he probably did, when they first met back down in the ruins.

THUMP

"URARAKA!"

Tenya and Izuku quickly moved to their downed friend's form, as one could see the spirals in her eyes, as she muttered, "So much money, so much money, so much money..."

Poor Uraraka didn't even know that much money even EXISTED!

"Not even my family has that much money!" Momo had and seen a lot of money but 20.1? How does someone even HAVE that much money?! Was that even possible?!

Her classmates look at her in shock, all shouting in union, "JUST HOW MUCH MONEY DOES YOUR FAMILY HAVE?!"

Momo didn't answer, still shell shocked to hear someone was richer than the richest people she knew.

"I don't think even i have that much money, let alone for a bounty." The number 2 hero's eyes were wide in shock to see the younger man's bounty, nor had he even thought it was possible for a bounty to BE that high. Never once in his life has Endeavor ever seen a bounty that high, let alone placed on one person, who was barely an adult.

The kid wasn't even twenty for Christ sake!

"Hmmm, Scourge of The Underworld and Symbol Of Fear. Kinda sounds like you All Might, with you being the Symbol Of Peace and honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if many villains call you the Scourge of The Underworld." Toshinori nodded to Nezu's assessment, idly wondering what the younger man had done to earn him such titles. It was one thing to fight against criminals but to become a symbol of fear, in less then three years was a very impressive feat. He didn't know much about the young man, only that he had made his debut when he was fifteen and since he's eighteen years, he's had three years to make a name for himself and boy, did he make one hell of a name.

"He's worth even more then me!"

Both Adam and Raven thought in shock at seeing the sheer amount of money being offered up for Xero's head. The two had done a whole hell of a lot to rise to their current station, with Raven leading her tribe to becoming one of the MOST feared bandit tribes in Mistral with two decades under her belt, while Adam had lead successful raids that damaged the SDC, that will take them a while to recover from, for years now thanks to his own skills and self-taught style.

Both were quite proud of their achievements and their high bounties, because it proved that they weren't to be trifled with. But seeing Xero's much higher bounty and seeing as he was much younger than them, or in Adam's case about four years younger, left the two stewing in anger. It was like that bounty alone spat on their efforts and basically said they weren't as dangerous as Xero himself, marking them as 'easy prey'.

"He's richer then the entire SDC fortune!"

The youngest and only son of the Schnee was shocked to see someone actually beat his family in terms of fortune. The SDC was one of the-no, it was THE richest business in Remnant and his father loved that fact, showing off His wealth like a prized bull or something like that. He also hated when someone else was more wealthy then him, Jacques either tried to form an alliance or crush them if they didn't accept it and then take their wealth for himself.

Whitely felt ice settle in his stomach, his father wouldn't take this lying down and would spur him on even more to bring down Mazoku and Stark. Which would more than likely end with the SDC come crashing down because of his father's own foolishness but he dares not say it. Jacques wouldn't take any form of criticism, not without swinging right back, regardless of if it was legal or not.

"Judging by the angry look on Father's face, this won't end well for us."

But what showed them next, shocked many as they all got a up close view of just what Xero has accomplished and all the feats he's done to rise to the top.

"Hold up, i thought Frieda was his only older sister, who's this Junko person?" Tony naturally noticed how his son didn't have one sister but TWO sisters. One, whom of which he has never heard of until now and even then, he hadn't even knew there was another one till today. His patience really was being put to the tested today wasn't it?

"No one."

Tony's eyebrows went up at his daughter in everything but blood's quick response, the way her voice broker no argument made kept his tongue, no matter how much he wanted to ask. Seeing Pepper, Steve, Mr. Metal Arm and old Smoky(Logan) shake their hands, made Tony ball his hands into fists but did nothing otherwise.

God, he loved his son and daughter more than anything but seriously, that kid drove him up a wall with all the secrets!

"Huh. This must be what Pepper feels like, when i drive her mad, this must be karma."

Held His Own Against Shepherd Artorius And The Empyrean of Suppression Innominat

"What the hell? Okay, i can understand a lot of the first stuff but that last two? No. Aren't the last two just an anime and a game?"

Boomstick spoke, confusion lacing his voice, as Wiz sighed again. Yeah, he wasn't too surprised at that, "Well, to put it simply. Xero decide he needed to get better combat experience, where's he was on his own but could still access the Class Cards but no actually Servants to help. So Da Vinic decide to create a new type of VR(Virtual Reality) training that would pit her master against dangerous foes that he COULD defeat but still have a hard time against. Seeing as Dolfamingo is not only the most dangerous Warlord of the Seven in the One Piece world, with a very powerful, versatile Devil Fruit and a large load of other abilities, he was prefect for Xero to fight against. But seeing as Da Vinic is a genius, the universe decided her machine should break at the worst possible time, trapping her master in the Dressrosa Arc, where's the only way to leave was to not defeat the mad Warlord, but ensure the Straw Hats and their allies survived...on a game's equivalent to hard mode."

"Of course, it does." Tony threw his hands up in the air, in clear agitation, "Why the hell not? Not like my kid's got enough on his plate as it is, might as well make things even harder for him."

Pepper tried to consult her husband, but felt the same agitation he felt, wondering why the universe seemed to have it out for her step-son.

"Hold on, Xero was the one that sniped Hitler?"

Steve asked shocked, upon reentering the world, the super soldier had learned the leader of the Nazi's was killed by an unknown sniper, on the eve of the allies invasion of Germany. The identity of the sniper was never found, the only thing they did find was a lone shell casing of a Soviet Mosin-Nagant Model 1891/30, but seeing as that was a standard, anyone could have done it.

But never the less, the unknown sniper was praised as one of WW2 greatest heroes for putting a bullet in that monster's head.

"Oh why the hell am i surprised? It's Xero." Steve shook his head, smiling a little, as whispers broke out between Earth's world leaders, "If something comepletely outraguoues happens, he's probably involved in someway, somehow." That was just how his friend was. He was a magent for trouble and adventure.

Izuku's pencil raced across his second notebook, after having filled his first notebook, eyes shining at the many, MANY feats Xero had done...without a Quirk. Having grown up in a world, where Quirks were basically everything, to see a hero, one without any Quirk to speak of, accomplish so much, survive so much without one was a major boost to Izuku's self-esteem and determination to be the next Symbol of Peace.

If Xero, a Qurikless person could do all this and then some, then he, Izuku, the next user of All For One, All Might's Quirk had to be better. Not just better, the best of the best to achieve his dream of being both a pro-hero and the number one hero!

"A Qurikless person CAN become a hero..." He wasn't the only one to think that, as Melissa felt a fire lit in her heart. Before her heart was set on becoming one of the world's greatest support gear makers, she wanted to be a hero. But upon learning she wouldn't manifest a Quirk; she was crushed before she decides to follow in her father's footsteps.

But maybe it didn't have to be that, looking at these people, the Avengers who had no special power and saw them become heroes made gears turn in the blonde's head.

"Maybe it's time for the world to have its first Quirkless hero after all."

Melissa certainly had the means, tech and money necessary to do it. Maybe it was time to go back to the drawing board and polish off some projects from her baby days, the days she dreamt of being a hero.

"While this is all cool, I'm wondering just who or what is a Tombstone?" Yang asked, as Natasha answered.

"Tombstone, otherwise known as Lonnie Lincoln, is a career criminal drug lord and is known to run a chop shop. As a child, he was exposed to experimental Alchemax chemicals as a youth in Harlem. While it didn't kill him, it did make him Nigh-invulnerability, turning his skin as hard as rock. Not only did he become all but indestructible, he gained superhuman strength and with little to no morals, he's a dangerous criminal. Not only is he good at hand-to-hand combat, he's skilled with firearms and is strong enough to take a rocket to the face and walk away like nothing happened. The only people i've seen tangle with him and walk away alive are Xero and Spider Man, that man is no joke and will not be hesitant to kill anyone that gets in his way."

"Jesus, it almost sounds like my Quirk." The future Red Riot spoke, looking at his arm, idly wondering if his Quirk could match up to Tombstone's harden skin. He was also kind of jealous, as it sounded like Tombstone's skin was always hard and he didn't need to harden it on command like Eijiro did.

That was so not fair!

Bakugo merely scoffed, fully believing his explosions would be more than enough to bring down this so called 'drug lord'.

Fool.

"Hmmm." Ozpin hummed to himself, mentally congratulating the young man on his various accomplishments, while Beacon's staff looked shocked at the number of things Xero has done to be the best. But that didn't last long, as Peter Port loudly complimented the boy, while smacking his father on the back for having such a "strong and resourceful son to survive such deadly trails".

Even Qrow nodded towards the young man with respect, while Mrs. Rose did the same, as his former students, both old and new, talked loudly about all the "cool things big boss has done" and wonder what stories he had from those times, cause surely he had to have some. But some were more idly, wondering just how strong he truly was to survive all this.

Ozpin wondered the same thing, feeling hope enter his hope devoid heart, feeling like Salem's days were numbered down to nothing.

"Xero would have made one fine huntsman."

It was a shame.

"Ya know, looking at all this, i no longer feel bad about losing to him." Clover nodded towards Elm's words, even if Harriet, now in a full body cast made an angry noise but otherwise, said nothing. Even getting her ass completely and utterly handed to her, the speedy huntress refused to believe she was wrong and held onto her hate for Xero, for no other reason than just to hate him on principle alone.

The lucky man had no idea what he was going to do, if things don't change, it could be one step towards a war that Atlas could not win. No matter what they thought, Clover knew to try and attack Xero for no good reason would result in a war with all of Earth and possibly the three other kingdoms, against Atlas. It would be a mass slaughter.

It just couldn't be done.

"Damn, kid's making me feel inadequate." Qrow groaned, as Summer giggled nervously, as she looked over to see Ruby's starry-eyed gaze and wide smile.

"Holy crap, i don't think even All Might has done this much in his entire time being a hero!" Izuku was writing down in his THIRD notebook, writing down everything he could as his friends and classmates were equally slack jawed at the sight. The number one pro-hero, while he was shocked, nevertheless laughed jolly.

"Hahaha, i do have to agree with you Mr. Branwen. It is a very impressive resume for Lord Mazoku to achieve so many things and at such a young age too! I have been a hero for nearly thirty years and not even i achieved so much at his age."

"That's because unlike you, Mr. Might, Oni-chan and i are basically time travelers." Gudako's sudden reasoning got the members of the MHA world attention, as the winged hero quirked an eyebrow at the redhead.

"Time travel? I thought that stuff was only in SI-Fi and movies."

"Welcome to our world, wingy. The reason why we were able to do some accomplish so much is because humanity was destroyed. Critical points in time or singularities as you all know them were fucked up so badly, by the year 2016 humanity would collapse in on itself. So as agents of Chaldea, we had to travel to these various points in time to ensure proper human history was restored, saving humanity in the process. But to do so, we needed to figure out what happened to cause the singularity in the first place and deal with the Demon God Pillar there, in order to restore it."

The students of class 1A looked at her in awe, as Shoto spoke, "It must have been a difficult job with just the two of you."

"Indeed. Especially when Oni-chan had to deal with the first four by himself, seeing as i am what they would call a third rate Magus and first generation one at that. I'm strong and powerful sure but my Oni-chan is on a whole another league of his own."

"That's a little depressing Lady Gudako." Tenya said, chopping the air like a robot, "You are a member of the Avengers, surely you must be one of the strongest people on the planet."

"Oh i am. Make no mistake of that, i can kick all your asses and probably be able to beat pro hero number six to two but Oni-chan? Ha! Oni-chan would mope the floor with you all and while we may not have the pure, brute strength Mr. Might has, strength alone doesn't decide a fight. But we're getting off topic, the reason we were able to accomplish so much, is because we traveled back and forth through the timeline."

"So is Lord Mazoku actually eighteen or is he actually much older than he appears and if so, what age is he actually? Ribbit." Asui asked, as Gudako put a finger to her chin, tapping it lightly.

"Ya know, even Oni-chan and i are clueless about it. We've spent ten years in Chaldea but the time we've spent within those singularities technically didn't count as actually time spent. Seeing as our bodies would be regressed to our original age when we left the time period of our original time, we can't say for certain. Our acquired abilities, strengths and powers weren't regressed so our bodies being stuck as fourteen and fifteen respectively wasn't so bad all things considered. That's not even including certain factors like the dreaming sequences, but that's just splitting hairs. Lets just say, aside from old Ozpin over there, Oni-chan and i are the most experienced people on the planet. Before you ask, just watch and you'll find the answers."

The students nodded, as everyone turned back to the screen, wanting to know more about the pair of masters. Though certain people like Yang, Bakugo and a certain bunny hero, hearing all that just wanted to fight Xero even more, feeling a fire being lite under them.

They wanted to see what the so called "Strongest Magus" could do here and now. Not his past or future self, but his present self and see if he lived up to all the hype.

"Still, Kiyohime? Is that the same Kiyohime from the legend or one completely different?"

Gran Torino didn't like to poke his nose into other people's business but seeing that name, the name of a woman who's rage grew so hot she turned into a dragon and burned her would be love to death, certainly raised a red flag to the old hero.

If the Mazoku brat could summon heroes from legends, did that mean he was either brave or stupid enough to summon someone like her to his side?

"So, she basically Jumanji-ed him?"

"Jumanji?" Momo looked confused, as did the rest of her people and the people of Remnant, "What's that?"

"It's an old but classic movie about two kids, who find a magic board game that brings things to life. It's one of those really old type of board games, so if it told you to beware a stampede of rhinos, then you better believe rhinos are coming. However, those two kids aren't the first ones to play that game and one of its previous players actually got sucked into the game itself, effectively trapping him inside, since his other friend couldn't get the right card, thus stopping the game entirely since she couldn't move, because it wasn't her turn." Gudako said simply.

Momo still looked confused, as Jennifer used her newly acquired Focus to look up the movie's wikipedia and read it out loud, "Here we go, most of the plot goes like this: In 1969, Alan Parrish lives with his parents Sam and Carol in Brantford, New Hampshire. One day, he escapes a group of bullies and retreats to Sam's shoe factory. He meets his friend, Carl Bentley, who reveals a new shoe prototype he made by himself. Alan misplaces the shoe and damages a conveyor belt, but Carl takes responsibility and loses his job. After the bullies attack Alan and steal his bicycle, Alan follows the sound of tribal drumbeats to a construction site. He finds a board game called Jumanji, which was buried 100 years earlier, and brings it home." The woman stopped, taking a breath as Momo nodded her head, to allow the woman known as She-Hulk continue, "That night, after arguing with Sam about attending a boarding school, Alan plans to run away, but his friend, Sarah Whittle, returns his bicycle. Alan shows her Jumanji and invites her to play. With each roll of the dice, the game piece moves by itself and a cryptic message describing the roll's outcome appears in the crystal ball at the center of the board. After Alan inadvertently rolls a five, a message tells him to wait in a jungle until someone rolls a five or eight, and he is sucked into the game. Afterwards, a swarm of bats appears and chases Sarah out of the mansion. Twenty-six years later, Judy and Peter Shepherd move into the now-vacant Parrish mansion with their aunt, Nora, after their parents died in an accident on a ski trip in Canada the winter before. Discovering Jumanji in the attic, Judy and Peter begin playing it. Their rolls summon giant mosquitoes and swarms of monkeys. The game rules state everything will be restored when the game ends, so they continue playing. Peter next rolls a five which releases a lion and a grown up Alan. As Alan makes his way out, he meets Carl, who is now working as a police officer. Alan, Judy, and Peter go to the now-abandoned shoe factory and learn that Sam abandoned the business to search for his son after his disappearance, until his 1991 death. Eventually, the factory closed, sending Brantford into economic decline. Realizing they need Sarah to finish the game, the three locate Sarah, now haunted by both Jumanji and Alan's disappearance, and persuade her to join them. Sarah's first move releases fast-growing carnivorous vines, and Alan's next move releases a big-game hunter named Van Pelt, whom Alan first met in the game's inner world. The next roll summons a stampede of various animals, and a pelican steals the game. Peter retrieves it, but Alan is arrested by Carl. Back in town, the stampede wreaks havoc, and Van Pelt steals the game. Peter, Sarah, and Judy track Van Pelt to a department store, where they set booby traps to subdue him and retrieve the game, while Alan, after revealing his identity to Carl, is set free. When the four return to the mansion, it is now completely overrun by jungle wildlife. They release one calamity after another until Van Pelt arrives. When Alan drops the dice, he wins the game which causes everything that happened as a result of the game to be reversed. Alan and Sarah return to 1969, just in time for Alan to reconcile with Sam, who tells him that he does not have to attend boarding school. Alan also admits his responsibility for damaging the conveyor belt. After realizing that they have memories of the game, Alan and Sarah throw Jumanji into a river."

"Okay. I think i get it now, the same thing happened to Lord Mazoku only instead of a board game, he got sucked into an anime and video game, where's the only way to escape was to complete them." Momo said, still not seeing how it connected to the here and now but trying. It made some sense but was still very confusing.

"Along with a couple of other things but yeah, that's the jest of it." She-Hulk waved her hand, as Olga begins to explain.

"Mazoku wanted to try something new, a new form of training to expand his skill set and abilities by testing himself against unique, deadly enemies. The first time, the one where he was supposed to go in the One-Piece world to face the strongest of the Seven War Lords of the sea in that anime, the machine malfunctioned, forcing Mazoku to fight 'Doffy' and the rest of his crew, while keeping everyone else alive in order to leave the simulation. If not, then he would have died for real and not just been kicked out of the simulation. The fact he was going up against THAT monster, it was a very close fight, even with Luffy's help."

"Psh, then it's clear he's just a weakling. How strong can a guy named after a long legged bird be?"

Well, it seems some people just don't learn, as Vernal ran her mouth off, making a few nods along with her, still refusing to believe Xero was much stronger than them. However, rather than try to deflect the insults or challenge them, Olga looked at the Curator,"Mr. Curator, can you show the episodes of the Dressrosa arc? Just so i can show these idiots how strong he is and how difficult it was for my master to beat him."

"I can Miss Olga."

Rather then feel a small moment of satisfaction, Vernal only felt dread as the video changed from Wiz and Boomstick, to One Piece, where Luffy and his crew just landed on the island of Dressrosa, the home of the warlord Donquixote Doflamingo.

A Few Hours Later

"...How in the hell did Xero beat someone like that?" Marrow spoke what everyone was thinking, all unable to believe the sheer amount of power and skill the user of the String-String user possessed. Izuku had once again burned through yet another note book and his writing tool was reduced to a small nub of a pencil. He was going to need a new one.

A lot more new ones, as he would go through quite a few before this was even close to being over.

"Oh god, i knew Xero-sensei was strong but strong enough to fight and survive against that man, i...i didn't know he was THAT strong." Xenovia agreed with her fellow apprentice, knowing full well that if she were in his place, she would lose almost instantly. Which blew a hole in her pride as a swordswoman and Magus. Despite being adopted, Xenovia was a prodigy with a sword with strong magic circuits and her magic origin was Earth.

Which fit her personality pretty well:

Strong, stubborn, ridged, unmoving and durable as hell.

Which worked well with Irina's own magic origin of Wind. If Xenovia was an unmovable force of nature, then Irina was a unstoppable force of nature, able to freely move about the world, unrestrained and free. Little wonder why those two work so well together, despite their clashing personalities and abilities.

"But even as powerful as we are, we still wouldn't stand a chance against Doflamingo or his 'family' members."

It was a hard pill to sallow but the tall blonde was not only strong, he was very versatile with his Devil Fruit power and knew how to use it to it's fullest potential. The blue haired girl could only hope that they'll be able to grow strong enough to at least prove to be a threat to monsters like him in the future, as their own enemies won't be forgiving.

"What the hell is this?! I have half the Maiden's power; I'm supposed to be the STRONGEST being on this planet. But he, look at him! Damnit, damnit, DAMNIT! I don't think even Salem could beat this Doflamingo or even that Pica person! Brothers damn it! I'M supposed to be the STRONGEST! Fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK, FUCK, FUCKING BROTHERS DAMNED ALL TO HELL!"

Some people however took the whole fight as a slap to the face, like Cinder, who was gritting her teeth so hard that they would break if she pushed any harder. It wasn't fair! No matter how hard she tried, no matter how much she suffered, no matter what deal with the devil she made, she Cinder Fall, still wasn't the strongest person there was.

How?!

How the hell did he get this strong?!

There is no way someone like him could get this strong, unless he had he-

"Wait..." Cinder's eyes widen in realization, "That's it! It's those SERVANTS! THEY ARE THE REASON HE'S SO STRONG! OF COURSE! IF I CAN SWIPE THEM FROM HIM, TURN THEM TO MY SIDE, THEN HE WILL BE POWERFLESS. I NEED TO GET THOSE DAMNED ANIMALS FROM THE WHITE FANG AND A WHOLE ARMY OF GRIMM TO ATTACK NEW YORK, MAYBE BRING TRYIAN TOO! WHILE THE CHAOS SETTLES IN THE CITY, I'LL SWIPE THOSE SERVANTS AND I WILL FINALLY HAVE WHAT IS RIGHTFUL MINE! THAT POWER IS MINE!"

Oh wow, some people are truly delusional aren't they?

Even though she was planning to use Adam and his fanatics to attack New York with an army of Grimm, the redhead bull boy was thinking along the same lines. It was clear that Mazoku was a threat and needed to be dealt with before he could become a threat to his rule, seeing as he had Sienna on his side now, she would need to be dealt with too.

Asshole.

"That boy is too powerful, i can't allow him to live, his very existence is a threat to our future. I need to deal with him but how?"

And apparently the delusional is contagious, as Raven seemed to have caught it and decide the best way to safeguard her tribe's future was too...attack someone who was clearly stronger than her and her tribe combined. Not to mention that person is looking for a reason to be rid of them, so them attacking him would be more than enough reason for Xero to be rid of the Branwen bandit tribe for good.

Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"Man, at times like this it makes me wonder if we are actually helping boss or if we're just dragging him down with our own weakness." Jean wondered to himself, as he and his fellow soldiers wondered the same thing. They were strong and skilled sure but after seeing how powerful the pirates of One Piece were and to learn their boss fought alongside them, helping Luffy defeat Doflamingo made them wondered if they were actually helpful or just dead weight.

Back down in the ruins, their boss and captain Levi were the only ones to fight the vampires head on, while often saving their asses during the fight, so maybe it was true. Well, if that was true, then they would just have to do better, get stronger to be more useful and helpful to Xero and the Avengers, rather than weighing them down with their own weakness.

Yeah, that sounded like a plan.

"Man, i know i should be scared but seeing all that only makes me want to fight Xero even more! If he can hold his own against people that, i want to see how well i do against him!" Qrow sighed at his niece's words, knowing how battle hungry she was and wanting to fight the best of the best. While a good way to get stronger was to fight strong people, he kind of hoped Xero would knock Yang down a peg or two, so she could get it through that thick skull of hers, that her semblance won't always save her. Maybe this would be good for her, and she would get something out of it too.

"But in all honest, i don't think even Oz can land one hit on that man, unless he allowed him. Thank the brothers he isn't on this world."

"Hell yeah, i want to fight big boss too!" Nora yelled with a giant grin, as Bakugo glared at the girl yelling.

"OH HELL NO! I'M FIGHTING THAT STREAKED BASTARD FIRST AND I'LL BEAT HIM, NOT YOU!"

"Get in line kid! Beauty before age, I'm fighting him first!"

Hawks sighed tiredly at Rumi's statement, knowing full well that the Bunny themed hero was going to bug the younger man till he gave her a fight. He just hoped the kid didn't kick her ass TOO bad.

"Nora, maybe you shouldn't." Pyrrha tried to stop the mad bomber from running off to find Xero, as Ren just sighed in a very tired manner. He knew Nora loved a good fight just as much as Yang did and wouldn't give up, until she got what she wanted. It was just the type of person she was and as her childhood friend, he would have to help her back on her feet, when she got her ass beaten black and blue.

The same thinking was going through Ruby's head, as she knew her sister was strong but their new found family member was stronger. It was just simple fact and seeing him fight and even help DEFEAT the Heavenly Demon of the One Piece world, was testament of his strength and skill. Seeing as he didn't have his Servants to help and only the Straw Hats with their new allies, it was proof that Xero had earned his title of the Strongest Magus.

But seeing what that Sugar person could do, turning people into toys and making memories of them vanish from people's minds, Ruby couldn't tell who was more terrifying, the captain or his lacky.

Still, they were both pretty terrifying and Ruby would rather fight an army of Grimm and Salem then face either of them.

Even if in the back of her mind, Ruby was wondering just who the heck this Esdeath person was, it was overshadowed by all the amazing stuff she was seeing now.

"Ozpin, how you-"

"No Glynda, Bart. I have never once seen anything like this and all i can say is...I pity whoever enrages Lord Mazoku." Ozpin had walked Remnant for more than a thousand years but never once had he ever seen someone quite like this Donquixote Doflamingo or his String-String fruit. He was however grateful that he never had the displeasure of facing someone like him and honestly, he was certain that Doffy could give even Salem a run for her money.

"Is it possible for this Doflamingo to defeat All For One? If so and young Mazoku was able to do it, what does that mean for us? For All Might and young Midoriya?" Nezu silently wondered to himself, taking a sip of his tea, even if they didn't actually see the fight itself and only saw the anime version, the principal of UA felt like All Might could be defeated by young Mazoku. Not in terms of brute strength or even raw power but the boy was a certified genius with years of experience fighting against people much more powerful then him.

But as he went on his quest to save humanity from incineration, it's clear he gained more then just power over the course of his journey. While having raw power was nice, it wasn't always the deciding factor in a fight. That was proven when All Might defeated that Nomu creature, one that was created to KILL the Symbol of Peace via brute force and overpowering All Might.

Which he would have, had it not been for their brave students helping Yagi, when he needed it the most and enabled him to defeat the Nomu creature.

"I'm just glad young Mazoku is on our side or at the very least, won't be willingly to work with someone like All For One."

Hearing the muttering of All Might's chosen one, noting how the warlord's sheer versatile could defeat a number of pro heroes at once with great ease thanks to Doffy's 'parasite string' ability, made Nezu shiver in fear, once again thanking his lucky stars that the man mad existed in the One Piece world and not theirs once more.

Small mercies.

Shaking his head, as everyone clammed down, they turned their attention to the screen as it started up again.

"Yes and no. She Jumanji-ed him, when she created her second VR training machine, only instead of having to beat one Arc, Xero ended up having to fight through ALL of Tales of Berseria's cannon, from Velvet's escape from Titania to facing her worst enemy and what is basically a god in the final battle to save Midgard from Innominat's twisted plans, as this was the only way for Xero to escape the game. To escape it, he had to complete the game and ensure everyone in the party survived."

"Oh, I love that game." Spider Man spoke, grinning under his mask at the mention of one of the best RPG of all time. But that quickly turned into a frown, then a wince remembering just how bad the world of Tales of Berseria could be and how unforgiving it could be. The more he watched, the more his friend's attitude and actions made sense. In Tales of Berseria, there was no good action, only actions of reason and logic vs passion and emotion.

Even if Velvet was ultimately right in doing what she did, her actions sent the world into ruin that would last a thousand years, even if those actions were what was required to save the world from the slow death it was steering towards, thanks to Innominat's "Reasoning".

Even if it was the most reasonable, logically way to do things, it didn't change the fact it was just simply too heartless to condone.

But honestly, there was no real right or wrong answer. It just...is.

"And he had to do this, all on his own, without help? None at all?" Boomstick asked, as Wiz nodded.

"None. Once he got sucked in, whatever he had on him was all that he had to use in order to survive the game. Not only that, but like before, there was no save-point or extra lives. Meaning he had to basically fought in a real life Tales of Berseria, where's if he died, he dies for good, while the game was on, you guessed it, hard mode. If that wasn't bad enough, it was later discovered that it was, surprise, surprise, BB that not only messed with the system, she added sub-quests that he HAD to complete, otherwise he wouldn't be able to win the game and escape."

"Why am i not surprised."

Pepper smacked her forehead, groaning, "I swear to god, goddess? that BB is worse than Tony."

"She is."

"Hey!" Tony let out an annoyed yell, "I'm nowhere as bad as her. I don't intentionally put my kids in danger."

"Very true daddy, as BB made those side-quests for the soul purpose of not only making it more difficult for him to complete the game, but it would also get Oni-chan in trouble when he did return to Chaldea."

Laura raised her head, confusion plastered across her face, "Really? What were they?"

"Yeah, to up the ate even more, she added some subtle coding that not only added new monsters like Resident Evil's unstoppable juggernaut, the Tryant Nemesis in all his deadly glory, old Xero had to reach a max bond level with Velvet, Magilou and Eleanor too. I'm sure we all know what happens in RPG, when your characters reach max bond level with their female teammates. Hehehe."

SMACK

"Of course, she would." Betty muttered to herself, ignoring Boomstick's not so subtle perverted joke. Many wondered why this would be a problem, as Gudako answered everyone's unasked question, "It's because Servants are very, very possessive creatures. Much like dragons, they don't like sharing and won't let what's theirs's go so easily."

"It's true." Ember nodded, fully agreeing with the redhead, "Still, here's a question i have been wondering for a while now. Didn't they already have a simulator beforehand, for training both masters and Servants? Cause I'm pretty sure they did but why did they build this new one?"

"Because Xero-sama and Da Vinic wanted to 'up the ante' so to speak. Seeing how powerful some of the villains from both anime and video games are, they decide on using One Piece and Tales of Berseria as their baseline, thanks to some of the characters more unique abilities and deadly powers. But we both see how well that turned out." Ursala said, remembering what her mate had told her, during one of their late night talks.

"Yep. Having to fight the craziest pirate of all time and an emotion hating asshole and his equally asshole friend, who eats said emotions, ya get one massive clusterfuck." Olga said, annoyed at her master's need to do things a lot harder than needed.

"Which wasn't easy mind you. I had to watch the entire thing and more than once, did Oni-chan have his back up against the wall against some of the more powerful boss's." Gudako said, nodding her head like she was agreeing with herself.

"Still, it all worked out in the end, as the training did bear fruit and Xero was able to become one hell of a badass way and apply those newly acquired skills and power into making his world a better place." Boomstick cheered, as Wiz spoke in a low tone of voice, that gradually grew higher and higher.

"Hero, villain, angel, demon, savior, killer, criminal, vigilante, friend, foe, warrior, devil, what is there to say? Xero's brutal but effective methods have without a doubt cowed both criminals and enemies, craving his name into the stars and the hearts of the people he protects...by craving up his enemies into bloody chucks. He is an angel to his friends and allies, while to his foes, he is nothing short of a nightmare, a demon coming straight out the depths of hell itself to see them pay for their sins. He's been called all these things and more, many unable to decide on whether he is villain or hero but if there is one thing everyone can agree on, it's that Xero IS a survivor."

"Survivor?" Boomstick snorted, "A survivor is someone that for one reason or another, escape the cold, frozen hands of death herself, while others don't. Xero didn't just escape her icy grip, he's outright spat in her face and told that her: BITCH! You aren't taking me today. Just like how i spat in my ex-wife's own face."

That got everyone's attention, remembering all the scars he bore and wondered if they get the full story on HOW he acquired all those scars.

"Well i don't disagree, as Xero has survived and walked away from blows that should have killed him. Well, no wait they actually DID kill him but hey, he got better, so that technically means he survived, where's others would have died right then and there. Had it been anyone else, they would have died instantly. He has survived everything and throughout the Grand Order has almost died numerous times at the hands of the enemy. Not to mention he has actually died a few times, if only for a few minutes but came back all the more stronger for it. He's survived from getting stabbed, shot at, blasted by TNT, wild animals, monstrous creatures, vampires, werewolves, Cultist, demonic beings, aliens gods powerful spell casters, Nightingale, Chole, enemy Servants-"

"HE'S FUCKING SURVIVED GETTING HIS HEART CRUSHED Wiz! Not broken, not cut, CRUSHED by the Hassan Of the Cursed Arm no less goddamn! That must have hurt like hell!"

The screen changed, as it showed Xero, during the second Singularity, trying to warn Nero only to have his mouth agap, eyes wide in terror as a long arm burst from his chest, gripping his still beating heart...before the long limb crushed it right before the teen's horror filled eyes.

Everyone, heroes from both worlds were left speechless and horrified at the sight of the younger, skinner, short haired Xero cough out blood, as his body fell to the floor with the masked Assassin standing over him, as Nero screamed in fury.

Tony barely stopped himself from doing the same, only restraining himself knowing his son was very much alive and fine. He wrapped his arm around his wife, who was silently crying, barely holding herself back from screaming in horror at the sight of the teen she had come to see as a son, just get his heart crushed.

Literally.

Bruce was no better, as the he could feel the Hulk roaring from within at the sight of "Xero-boy" being hurt and wanted to bash the masked men into paste.

Natasha might not have show much emotion on the outside but she was cringing as much as Clint, Betty, Ororo and Laura at the sight of their shared friend/leader being murder via heart crushing.

Fuck that looked like it hurt like hell.

Pretty much both heroes, Avengers and huntsman alike were cringing, wincing and crying out in shock at seeing the primary master of Chaldea getting his heart crushed. A move that would normally kill anyone else.

But Xero is not a normal person.

"I don't think even i can survive getting my heart crushed." All Might spoke, mostly to himself, eyes widen in disbelief. Even his rival and teacher looked on in disbelief, unable to believe someone without some type of healing Quirk could survive such an injury.

"Wolf Whistle. Well i'll be damned, that kid's got quite a few tricks up his sleeve, don't he?" Rumi grinned ear to ear at learning this, her mind going the many possibilities of what else he could do. Her friend, Hawks just sighed at this, knowing that the woman would want to poke and probe at the kid, till he spilled all his secrets, and he had a feeling it wouldn't end well.

"H-how did the kitten survive?" Ragdoll shuddered, as her large teammate held her up from doubling over in shock, not that Tiger was any better.

"While Xero did survive getting his heart crushed, it was only thanks to the quick actions of his first Caster, Medea putting Xero in a magic bubble thing that kept his soul from leaving his body long enough to heal his heart. That kept him alive, as at this point in time, he had yet to awaken his Yoma blood." Wiz's explanation caused everyone to sag in understand, as many breaths were left out of relief. However, the next part of Wiz's explanation would leave many jaws dropped, "But that would only be the beginning, as Xero has survived many things that would have normally killed anyone else and in some he actually DID die, he always fought his way back to the land of the living." Wiz said.

"Yep. During his travels, Xero has survived getting crushed by monsters, getting blown up by all kinds of bombs or enemies ranging from humans to monsters, to Servants, to even the gods themselves. Hell, he even got his guts spilled out by Saber Alter's Excalibur Morgan, got skewered by the Lion King's legendary holy Spear Rhongomyniad. Hell, he even survived the Black Plague, when he got sent to France during the 100-year war, stripped of magic, while he fought off blood thirsty, man-eating rats and being chased by the persistent and unrelenting Inquisition lead by the Black Knight himself, Lord Nichols. That's not mentioning the fact Xero was trying to protect two young children, Amica and Hugo De Rune, whose home was ransacked by the Inquisition barely two weeks after he arrived in this minor Singularity. Man, and i thought Taxpayers were pushy, these assholes didn't even ask questions before they started slaughtering everyone." Boomstick spoke, crossing his arms.

"Don't forget Boomstick, this particular Singularity was not just a random one but a trap, created for the soul purpose of killing Xero, as it would not only strip him of his magic but make it so, he could not call for back up or travel back to the present for supplies or even get them! It was a one way trip, one way out and no way back."

"And that was when after he just got his Yoki and awakened his bloodline. Goetia thought he would be weakening Xero but in fact, all he did was make his stronger in the end. Even though it was one of the toughest trails he's ever had to fast, Xero just couldn't leave two children to face a world, where one half of the world's people is out for themselves and the other half wants to kill them. Damn, he's good in my book, cause if it were me, i'd tell them good luck and high tailed out of there!"

"The Black Plague?"

"Man eating rats?

Shoji and Sato questioned, only to look on with shocked eyes, as the screen changed again, to show Xero in his Plague outfit as he held a torch, as Amica and Hugo clung onto his shirt, as hundreds of rats surrounded them. Waiting for the moment for the light to go out, so they could fest on their flesh.

"AAAGGGGGHHHHHH!"

Koda screamed in pure terror, running away from the room at unnatural speeds, as did Present Mic shockingly enough.

I thought he was supposed to be a Pro-Hero yet he gets scared by rats? Well, they are man eating rats, so i suppose it's understandable.

"Oh my god, look at them, there are so many." Izuku breathed out a breathless gasp, eyes unable to look away as the trio slowly moved through the rat infested arena to safety. Asui put a finger to her chin, despite looking as stoic as ever, there was no denying the fear in her eyes.

"And didn't Wiz say Xero was stripped of his magic, ribbit? He might as well be going against that Nomu guy with no Quirk."

Blunt as ever but still right.

"Not to mention he has two kids to look after, along with everything else to deal with. Needing to get fresh food, water, clothing and this Inquisition thing chasing them too. It's hard enough to keep people safe from a couple of villains but from the sound of it, everyone was out to get them. This is bad, really, really bad." Kirishima said, a worried look on his face, as Bakugo scoffed.

"Oi, shitty hair what are you all worrying for? It's already happened, and this is just a memory, so stop worrying over nothing!" Everyone looked at the bomber with shock, as Gudako sighed but nodded with the ash haired blonde.

"Well, he's not wrong. As your worrying is appreciated, it's unnecessary as these events have long since passed, becoming ancient history to us. But thanks anyway, red."

"Be that as it may, it is still an impressive feat for him to have survived this was new power his body has yet to get use too. Students, even though were here against out well, i suggest you pay close attention. This is a good chance for you to learn a lot about the world and how bad it can get, when push come to shove." Aizawa said, as Nezu agreed, quite cheerfully at that.

"Indeed. This learning experience that can be more than simply learning about our new enemy but to show you how bad things can get and how you should response and act in these situations."

"Yes sir!"

"Good lord, it is even worse than he described it." Banner spoke in a low tone, as Tony nodded, eyes narrowed as he stayed silent.

"Just because he survived a few things, doesn't mean anything! Cinder will beat, i know she can!"

Sigh, some people are just that delusional apparently.

"While Xero has been able to pull off many incredible feats, he needed more then just power to do it. He needed the will and the skills to accomplish them. Skills such as these, ones he's learned over the course of his adventures."

"Jesus, what the hell did this guy do during the Grand Order to get this good?!"

Steve just shook his head at the lighting user's answer, "From what we've learned, too much. Though the inhuman pain tolerance doesn't surprise me at all. Throughout the war with HYDRA and the Nazi's, i saw him and Gudako display skills that even i can never hope to achieve."

"Oni-chan is just that skilled. Part from our own personal experiences and our Servant's experiences."

"Hahaha. You must be proud Mr. Stark, your son truly is an extraordinary young man to do so much. You raised a good so-"

All Might froze, remembering a certain little detail as Tony had in fact, not raised Xero and it was clearly a touchy subject for the man. The blonde coughed awkwardly as the man's eyes turned to ice and his smile stiffen but thankfully, Tony didn't call him out on his little slip. Only saying, "He is Mr. All Buster. I only wish i could have helped him in his younger days."

Denki was about to ask, but was interrupted by a certain pink haired inventor, "Shut up! I want to see what kind of babies he's made!"

"Hundreds of years of experience? What the hell does that mean?"

Cinder frowned, wondering the same thing as Mercury. She wasn't happy to see her enemy having so many skills, as that meant he wasn't like that brute Xiao Long, relying on reckless moves alone. That would make him even harder to defeat and steal what was rightfully hers.

"Working and living within Chaldea for over ten years, summoning both heroes, anti-heroes and out right villains, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone more experienced in pretty much anything then Xero. Having legendary warriors and fighters, more then willingly to teach him their skills, Xero took advantage of it. Thanks to the training he received from warriors like the legendary Queen of the Shadow Land, Scathach who taught him how to wield pretty much any weapon possible. The King of Conquerors, Alexander the Great aka Iskander taught Xero all about warfare tactics and politics. Heck, he even got trained by the First Hassan, a legendary Assassin commonly known as the Old Man On The Mountain in the Art of Assassination and infiltration. Plus he's trained with a number of legendary figures teaching him all sorts of skills and abilities, Xero was transformed from a weak, noodle with a weak body into a time traveling badass with more skills and weapons then The Punisher himself. Not to mention he's created his own version of CQC, who's main focus is adapting to his opponents fighting style to either match it, counter it or even use it to attack the main pressure points in the body to inflict maximum damage upon them."

"Man, hearing all this is making me feel inadequate and weak." Kirishima moaned in a very unmanly way, as Shoji nodded, forming a mouth on one of his many arms.

"Indeed, but you have to remember, we weren't just brought here watch but to learn. While i don't know how but it would be as Best Jeanist said, foolish for us not to take advantage of this to learn more about our enemies and possible new moves or skills."

As if to prove this, the multiple armed boys gave a meaningful look towards a certain green bean, as his pencil moved like the Flash, all over his "Hero Analysis For The Future". It was a wonder why he hadn't set the thing on fire yet. Izuku wrote down keywords like Scathach, Phantom Technique, Sixth Sense, Empathic and Alchemist. All the while, the Mumble train was at full steam, much to the amusement of Tenya and Ochako.

Bakugo would have yelled at the nerd but his eyes were glued to the screen, wondering just how strong this so called "Strongest Magus Of His Generation" really was and how a fight between the two would go. Even if episodes from One Piece gave him an idea on how strong Xero was, to be able to survive having an entire city coming after him, it didn't show the older teen fighting.

Which only made Bakugo want to fight him even more!

"Well, he's not wrong." Barton sighed, as he was feeling the redhead boy's pain, as he now felt equally inadequate, and this wasn't even mentioning his skills in using Yoki and mana.

"Not to mention that Xero doesn't buy shit. He wants something? He makes it himself. Need a gun that can pierce the strongest armor, while being small enough to hold in one had and have the strength to tear through said armor? Build a shotgun pistol with a badass name like The Terminator. Need a ride that can act as both, a tank, transport, supplier AND can travel pretty much anywhere at anytime? Built an armored bus thing with two V8 engines, a missile launcher system, titanium steel armor plating that can withstand anti-tank rounds and twelve M60D Machine Guns, eight remote control mini-guns all equipped with armor piercing rounds and call it, The Dead Reckoning. Need something that can cut through anything? Well fuck it, just build your own lightsaber! Need something that can not only act as a phone, but can hack into anything at all, interface with whatever you want, store data, act as a real life head up display you have in video games and play your favorite music directly into your head while you don't have to move a muscle to use it, while it can connect to a super computer? Well no one has ever made this but Xero did and he named it appropriately...a Focus? Okay, well not what i would have gone with but alright, he's the genius here. Anyway, can you get me his number Wiz, i want my own Terminator, Focus and Photon Sword, even though we all know it's a goddamn lightsaber. If he can make his own real life lightsaber, then i give my vote for this guy to be one of the smartest people on the planet."

Boomstick shrugged, as the screen showed the items named. The first was the black, shotgun/pistol Xero used on Kenny's son before he could turn. The second was a massive armored vehicle that looked like a splice between a bus and armored military transport with a pair of frontal mini guns too. The Focus however was small, white and triangle with a single strip line through it, glowing blue. Finally there was a cylinder shaped object, with a bright light like sword, glowing/humming with power.

"Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh."

Many "ooh'd" and "Awe'd" at what they were seeing. The engineers, weapon lovers and people who just love a good weapon started drooling at the sight of the impressive weapon set.

Hastume however, was not only drooling but doing her own writing and recording in her own notebook, looking like a pink haired version of Izuku.

"With little to do and no friends to speak of, Xero spent his childhood learning the history of magic and how to be an engineer. With both his parents being genius in their own right, Xero had inherited his father's gift for building and making weaponry, rather then his mother's skill in genetics researching."

"Xero first weapon is the good, old Terminator. It is a lever-action shotgun that can shot a mix between a slug and a 00 buck, which enables efficient performance both in short and medium range. It can shoot twenty shots per minute. Xero's Focus is a small augmented reality device worn by human users that serves as a multipurpose sensory interface. This device is responsive to the user's gestures, voice and Xero has design it to have direct neural interface and displays a visual 3D interface visible only to him, aiding Xero in the operation of machinery and technology alike, as well as in communications. It can also hack into pretty much anything hackable, The Focus is linked to the super computer known only as the Moon Cell and it has been locked to Xero via a blood seal, making it impossible to be stolen."

"I WANT THAT!/I WANT IT!"

Hastume and Ruby burst into cheers, eyes aglow with want and desire, damn near foaming at the mouth as they prepared to go and find the Magus to make him, well who knows what.

"Ruby/Hastume sit down!"

Thankful for Xero, Summer and Power Loader were able to prevent their daughter/student from running him over in an attempt to get these items. Even then, the duo had to grab the younger ones, preventing them from rushing the Master of Chaldea.

"Amazing!" Melissa clapped her hands, stars in her eyes as she stared at the device, "If what Boomstick says is true, then the things that a person can do with the Focus is practical limitless! It's so small, you can easily hide it anywhere and if it can hack anything, it can prove to be an invaluable information gather."

David looked at Tony with a smile, "You must be proud of your son."

"More than you can ever know." Tony spoke with a tight smile, feeling his heart clench at his son reaching to this level with little help from his father. A part, a deep, dark part of him blamed Lilith for hiding their son away from him for so long but the rest of him knew better. Back then, before he had his eyes opened to the truth, before Tony Stark became Iron Man, he would have wanted nothing to do with Lilith or their son.

That fact was like a spike to his heart but Tony knew that if he was like his past self, he would have done it without a second thought.

"Maybe this is what i get for being such a self-centered, arrogant, jackass who only thought of himself and caused suffering to who knows how many people with my ignorance at what Obadiah was doing with my company."

"Still, what does he mean by blood seal? What is that?" Sero questioned, as Gudako merely smiled proudly.

"It's a special seal that locks anything that has been placed upon, sealed to the person who the blood belongs too. It's like a finger print ID, only the one who's blood is used to create the seal can use the item in question and anyone else...well, let's just say it doesn't end well for them. Hehehehehe."

The Tape user chuckled nervously, as the dark look fell over Gudako's face, as she giggled sinisterly.

"Ren..."

"Nora, no." The pink streaked boy sighed, as Nora pouted.

"But Reeeeennnnnnnn, Big Boss can make so many cool weapons! I'm certain he can forge me a new hammer or better yet, a more powerful grenade launcher that can shot, Brothers know what! Just think of all the possibilities!"

"Oh believe me Nora, i am."

Namely how the world would be left in smoldering ruins, if Xero ever created Nora a new weapon. The older teen was clearly a skilled weapons smith and had the resources to create very powerful weapons. He didn't what to image Nora with an even stronger weapon then she had now.

His sanity couldn't take it otherwise and neither could Jaune's it seems.

"Indeed. After the fourth Singularity, where Xero nearly lost his entire party, save for his future teacher Scathach and his faithful companion Mash, Xero understood how badly outclassed he was. Even with his large mana pool, skills in magic, he proved no match for the King of Magic and after confronting that painful truth, Xero decide to ask for training from his Servants."

"And boy, was Xero in for one wild ride. After half a decade of training with the best history has to offer, battling all kinds of enemies like some kind of battle royal in a video games and nearly dying numerous times, he has truly lived up to the name Jack of All Trades. He has learned how to use EVERY type of weapon possible, ranging from melee weapons to firearms, to CQC or close quarters combat. Not to mention, he's one hell of a strategist."

Wiz nodded to Boomstick, as the screen sparked to life once again, showing Xero and Jeanne commanding a battle against the Demon God Pillar number 5, Halphas.

"As the primary master of Chaldea, Xero had to be a leader on the battlefield against the Demon God Pillars and there many, many soldiers. Thankful, Xero had plenty of leaders, rulers and military persona to teach him how to be an effective leader and strategist. But most of Xero's skills come from both, his own experience during the Grand Order and the memories of his many Servants. Aside from fighting and killing, Xero has learned how to hunt animals, read the land, mend life threatening wounds, how to lead an nation, how to manage an economic effectively and one of his more deadly skills: empathy."

"What?" Boomstick asked, very confused.

"Huh? How can empathy be a deadly skill?"

Jiro asked, completely unaware of how dangerous such a skill could be, if used in certain arena's. Something Midnight and Natasha chuckled darkly at, making the students, hero in training and huntsman in training to shiver, as Ozpin spoke, in an even voice,"Ms. Jiro, as a hero in training you must know that being able to connect with people and understand how they are feeling is all but an essential skill. Being empathic and understanding of the person's feeling, of who you are trying to save could mean the difference between life and death."

"However..."

Gudako grinned darkly, smile full of sharp, pearly whites,"...if you learn how to understand your enemies feelings, there goal and how their mind works, you can use those feeling against them."

"The fuck you mean, red?!"

Bakugo demanded, as Gudako merely nodded to the screen, as Wiz spoke again.

"Yep, believe it or not, one of his greatest weapons is his empathy and ability to understand how others feel. Why? Because Xero can understand just which button to push, where to push to hit home. Not to mention he's pretty good at seeing through people's bullshit, an essential skill to determine who is friend or foe."

"Ah and given the amount of terrible people in the world out to kill him, that skill must have saved his ass more times than once."

"It did, as Xero's actions in saving people became a pattern, his enemies begin to lay traps for him. Trying to use his empathy against him to kill him but failed each time. Just goes to show just how desperate his enemies are becoming to kill him, if they resort to such tactics and if it were anyone else, it would have worked too had it not been for his battle instincts, ones he's spent years honing, warning him before hand."

"That is very true. Remember students, as heroes in training, you will all need to learn those skills if you want to be successful heroes. Empathy is one of the essential skill a hero needs in order to succeed in life but it can also lead to your downfall. You never know, when a villain might use your empathy against you and could in fact, cause more damage than any blade or attack ever could." Aizawa said in a bland tone, as the students in the hero course nodded.

"Yes sir!"

With Xero

"I went overboard didn't i?"

The primary master of Chaldea spoke, mostly to himself as he slowly dressed a passed out Mikasa. The woman had her eyes rolled in the back of her head, with bite and even claw marks all over her body and directly over her heart, was the Mazoku clan symbol.

He shouldn't be too surprised, after storming back to their room, he hadn't given the woman a chance to speak before he started to overload her with pure pleasure, screwing her senseless. It was a good thing she broke her hymen during training and he believed her, as Mikasa apparently became very talkative when she was being overstimulated with pleasure.

Not only with all his future know how in the best way to please the woman before him but the fact his cock size was a massive 12 inches long, it was little wonder why the woman passed out before he could even get off. She had good stamina sure, having trained her body to perfection and her Ackerman blood giving her a boost but sadly for Mikasa, she had nothing on him.

He didn't like to brag but when you are blessed by what is basically two gods of sex(Kama and Isthar) and running through all those singularities, training under his teachers, constantly fighting in Do or Die battles and of course having Yoma genes, tends to give you great stamina too.

Almost too great.

Not to mention he had to hold back a great deal, least he accidently hurt or goddess forbid, kill Mikasa by losing control of his Yoma half and fuck the poor woman to death by causing internal bleeding. Be one hell of a way to go but he didn't want to kill the one he loved! If he wasn't carefully, Xero feared he might actually cause her internal bleeding if he fucked her too hard.

If one were to believe the old legends, Xero had learned one of the warriors, a woman named Neideen had actually FUCKED a monster to death! It turns out it was an Awakened Being, that was raping women to death by ripping them apart during sex and Neideen turned the tables on it, by fucking IT to death.

While such a thing like that happening to him was very unlikely, you never know. Besides, unlike Xero, Mikasa could not just spontaneity heal internal bleeding or wounds on command like he could. Sure, her healing factor was faster than normal humans like Steve's, but she was still a human.

Not a Hybrid.

He was weak, he would easily and willingly admit that but normal humans, even ones like Mikasa?

They were fucking FRAGILE!

"Man this fucking sucks."

Even if two of his 'wives' aka Jalter and Athur had helped him relive some stress earlier, it was nowhere enough to completely satisfy his lust. Xero has been running around New York for weeks, ever since the new world joined theirs, he's had to help Yuri ensure order within the City That Never Sleeps.

In other words, he didn't have much time to relax, let alone have sex to release the tension that had been building over those few weeks. First he was put into a coma, then he informed of a new world merging with theirs and then, he had to help Yuri stop some more bold(Or just foolish) criminals that attempted to take advantage of the chaos brewing within the world and even some Grimm that were ballsy enough to come to HIS city.

That wasn't even counting the fact he had to help his father and Fury set up the whole world summit meeting, getting security setup, etc. Plus some Cultist and even Witch Hunters attempting to kill him, it left him very little time to do what he wanted, let alone spend time with his lovely wives and husbands.

Truly being the strongest had more cons then pros some days.

In any case, Xero had put Mikasa to bed, after putting on her stripped sports bra and spats, while he only had black boxers on. Now he was both stressed from the new arrivals and horny too. What the hell was he going too-

"Husband!"

GLOMP

"Oaf. What the he-CAT?! What are you-"

He didn't get to finish as the Berserker version of Tamamo forced Xero to set back down on the bed, next to a passed out Mikasa, as she wrapped her arms around his neck, trying her best to suck his face off. Feeling the Berserker's huge tits press against his bare chest distracted him long enough, where's he didn't realize a SECOND Berserker had entered the room, pulling his boxers off and was sucking him off!

"HMPHHHMMMMMHHHH, PCK! Tamamo, who-Atalanta?!"

Not the Archer, the Berserker one.

Despite having his face full of Cat boobs, he could spy the other Berserker on her knees, gingerly, lovingly even took his cock into the wet carven of her very, VERY hot mouth.

"Wha-what are you two doing?"

"Ne, ne, miss Mikasa didn't get our beloved master and husband off, woof. So Cat took it upon herself to give husband his much needed rest and satisfy his needs in a way no wimpy human ever could. Cat even enlisted her fellow Berserker to help her satisfy her husband!"

Atalanta Alter said nothing, her face stuff full of her mate's cock, as she rubbed his thighs and bobbed her head up and down, making Xero groan in pleasure as Cat licked his neck.

"It was Mikasa's first time, so don't mock her for her inexperience."

He tried to scold the Berserker Tamamo but the healthy blush rushing to his cheeks didn't help his case. Even after all this time, it never got boring too have two very hot, very sexy women on him like this, which caused him to say thanks to the goddess every day for this life. The fox Berserker sat on the side of the bed, laying one long, well-muscled leg over his lap, being mindful not to accidently kick her fellow Berserker, as she sandwiched his arm between her tits, as she looked down at the Alter, looking at him loving, while she buried her head in his neck.

Inhaling his scent! Bloody fucking hell, all his animal themed Servants seemed to be addicted to his scent as bad as a warrior became addicted to using their Yoki.

"POP. Cat meant no offense my mate but humans are weak and fragile compared to Servants."

The Berserker between his legs had let his cock out with a loud "Pop" as she nuzzled his cock, looking him the eyes,,"My mate can't be as reckless and rough as his Yoma nature demands of him to be, least he break Ackerman woman in half. That's one good thing about being a Servant, we're very durable and less likely to break mate. So you can be as rough as you want with us."

Berserkers, even weak ones like Kiyohime were much more durable than most humans, even the proud and strong Mikasa.

The fact that THIS version of Atalanta not only had a bigger set of tits then her Archer self and more muscle like Cat, but Xero could also be much rougher with her, having a lot more to grab onto during sex. The fact she took the role of a 'tamed, submissive pet' during their sex, only made it hotter. Hell, she even had on that silly, cat collar Da Vinic had made for her, as he could hear it make a soft, Tink, every time she moved.

"It's kinda funny. When we first met, i'm certain she would have out right killed me for even thinking of something like this with her. But now..."

Now she was the one requesting for him to be as rough and harsh as he could be with her. The Berserker was not a shy woman for the most part, often taking what she wanted, whenever she wanted. But it would be a lie if Xero said he didn't find the sight of her, being so meek and needy, adorable and sexy as hell. It always showed just how much she trusted him, not too take advantage of her, when she was like this.

Oh, he did take advantage of her but not in the bad, evil way.

He was about to make Atalanta Alter take more of his huge schlong down her throat, when he heard a very annoying sound.

Click

The door opening.

"Mother, father sent me-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"

His embarrassment vanished, as he felt like he'd been set up from the start, as his 'son' aka Mordred walked through the door, going wide eyed at the sight of her 'mother' being with two, animal themed Berserkers.

Atalanta didn't stop her sucking, if nothing else she just bobbed her head up and down faster, as if to challenge the blonde to try and stop from claiming her prize. As for Tamamo Cat, she grinned like, well, a cat.

The Cheshire Cat.

"Ah, Miss Mordred is here now, woof. Now we can start the full fun sexy time!"

"S-sexy time?"

Mordred blushed dark red, despite her best efforts, unable to look away from his schlong going down the lioness throat, as the black haired teen rubbed her head.

"Ten bucks says Artoria Alter LANCER put her up to this."

He swore he would never understand her thought process sometimes. Unlike the rest of the Artoria's, the King of Storms almost immediately took to Mordred and treated her with all the love and care, she could ever want from her father.

Of course, since it's Mordred any type of genuine affection left the poor Saber lost and confused.

Artoria Alter Lancer was an odd bundle of emotions, as she could be cold and emotionless one moment, then playful and happy the next. But that was only when she was around himself, Saber Lily or Mordred. Everyone, even Gudako got the cold shoulder from her, originally at least. He would have called her bipolar if not for the fact she was clearly self-disciplined.

Something that the woman had undoubtedly learned during her time as a king.

She was also one of the most overprotective Servants he had, long before he even married any of them and was equally overprotective with Mordred, much to the blonde's embarrassment and dismay with a dash of shyness.

Xero sighed, as his mind wondered back to that day, despite being attacked on two sides.

Flashback

"Come my queen, i want to give my son her birthday gift and i want you there."

Those were the words the busty Lancer spoke to Xero, as she all but dragged him away from Da Vinic and his father from the lab and towards Mordred room. Personally, Xero didn't mind to celebrate Mordred or any of his Servant's birthdays but since most of her life was nothing but pure pain and more pain, Mordred didn't like it as she never had the chance to actually feel like the day she was born was worth celebrate.

...Or that the day she was born was a good day and not just the day she was born into hell.

On this day, what Mordred wanted was beer, video games, horror or actions movies and to spend time with him. Something he was more then happy to obligate her, much to Mordred's joy.

But as of late, Mordred has been outright avoiding him and dodging all his attempts at trying to even say hello or morning, let alone talk to her. It started four weeks ago...ever since he agreed to marry Artoria and become her consort.

"Of course."

Xero sighed, even as the Lancer pulled him down the hallway, as they stepped towards the elevator. Even if the relationship between Mordred and the Artoria's had been mended, forming new bonds, the younger blonde no doubt felt like she been too late.

Too late to say she loved him and because of her hesitation to say words that had never once been spoken to her, in both her lives and Mordred had once again lost to her beloved father, Artoria. Xero tried, he tried too hard to talk to Mordred without resorting to his Command Seals, as that would more than likely destroy what trust he had built with her over the years.

It just wasn't worth if but he was starting to try and risk it, as this couldn't go on.

He hated using his Command Seals without just cause and only, ONLY used them if had absolutely had too and even when he playful threaten to use them, everyone knew he'd never go through with it.

"I see your body moving but your mind is in the clouds my queen, what is the problem?"

Xero was snapped out of his thoughts at the Lancer's direct question, causing him to look at the tall woman, golden eyes filled with concern. Knowing who they were going to see, he figured he be upfront about his concern, "It's Mordred. I haven't been able to talk to her in the past few months and every time i get close, she out right ignores me and vanishes with her spirit form."

"That girl..." The Lancer let out a wordless sigh, as she pulled her queen into a side hug and pulled him along to their 'son's' room, "I know it's not her fault for feeling this way, as she has known no love from my other selves and still struggles to deal with certain emotions like love and care. You've done a wonderful job in trying to mend her broken heart my queen but sometimes, this type of thing must be handled between father and son."

Even if you two are both clearly female?

Gender was meaningless to the Pendragon's and Xero had gotten used to dealing with it, so he only nodded.

"But for this type of thing, my little prince needs her mother, in order to fix things between Mordred and you my queen. She has loved you for a long time now and my Saber proposing to you has caused a rift to not only cause tensions between you two but me and my other selves as well. But that stop today, as her birthday, my gift to her will change your relationship for the better."

Really?

Xero raised an eyebrow, as they arrived at Mordred room, "And where is this wonderful gift you have for our son? Is it hiding somewhere in that insanely hot leotard of yours or is it some sort of magic-"

"You."

Before he could even think, the Lancer opened the door, shoved him in and quickly locked it behind him,"Be sure to show her a good time, my darling queen."

"Lancer! What the hell-"

"M-mother."

Xero got to his feet, looking to see where Mordred was...Only to blink at Mordred's choice of attire.

Namely her lack of clothes.

Mordred sat on her bed, in nothing but that sorry excuse of a chest cover that was supposed to be her armor's bra and a black thong with the loin cloth gone. Her face as red as her lighting. She was sitting on her knee's, her hands on her well-muscled thighs, as she looked everywhere but at him,"W-when i told father i wanted to be with you, the same way you are with her, she...told me to get dressed in this and wait for you. I-i, you don't have to do anything mother, i just-i didn't, i don't, i wanted-"

"Wanted love you were denied in your first life, right?" Registering himself to his fate, Xero walked to the bed and sat in front of the blonde, as she nodded, blonde hair falling over her slim shoulders. She'd let her hair down and personally, he thought it looked good on her. It was obvious what Mordred wanted, what she wanted so badly but she had no idea how to ask for it, without resorting to force and she knew that wasn't how she wanted to obtain love.

Mordred nodded meekly, as Xero put a hand on her chin and made her look him in the eye, making her go even redder, "This was your father's idea, right?"

"Yes."

No surprise there.

Mordred looked down again, in a rare show of shyness, "But i really do love you mother. I just want you to love me, like you love father. I want proof that even someone as ugly and selfish as me, can find love and not throw me away like garbage or a used up weapon. Please, don't throw me away or use me like some sort of living weapon."

Not like Morgan did.

She couldn't say it out loud but in her mind? Yeah, she could say it and through their master/Servant bond, Xero heard it as plain as day.

"Well, time to Nut up or shut up."

With that in mind, Xero pulled Mordred into a kiss, making the Saber stiffen but she slowly relaxed into the innocent kiss. Which changed, as that seemed to break the straw on the camel's back, as she wrapped her arms around her master and mother, deepening the kiss. She got a bolder and in a manner true to her nature, Mordred's tongue poked and probed Xero mouth, asking(IE demanding) entrance.

But this was one fight she wouldn't win, as he was able to easily beat the blonde's tongue into submission, as he slowly groped and touched her body. It was a good move when he groped her ass, as Mordred moaned into the kiss and sat in his lap, wrapping her legs around his waist.

Breaking off from the kiss, the teen pressed his head against Mordred, smirking as he groped her nice ass.

"Got to say, you certainly have your father's ass, Moe."

The girl blushed but said nothing, just leaning into the warmth she was feeling from her mother, feeling the heat rise to the tips of her ears as she felt her mother's strong, calloused hands. Truth be told, despite her confident, cocky attitude Mordred always been self-conscious of her looks and her body. In her first life, it was something she prided herself on, because she was trying to prove that she could be the son and heir her father needed and being a girl at the time, meant she could achieve none of that.

That and honestly, she really, truly thought father was a man, despite her heavenly features.

But now?

Now that she beautiful and gorgeous, busty ladies like Medusa, Tomoe, Boudica, that damned holy saint and much to her envy, her Lancer of a father and even another version of her birth mother, Morgan.

"You don't have to-"

"I want to mother."

Mordred spoke, before she could back out, as she looked into Xero's purple eyes with her green ones, "I really, really want this and I'm a knight, but..."

She wiggled in obvious discomfort, a shameful look on her face, as she looked down at her lap, laying her head on his broad shoulder, "I don't know what to do. All i know is fighting and killing, i don't know what to do in this kind of thing. But i don't want to be left out, so please show me...what it's like to be loved unconditionally. The same love you show to father."

Flashback End

"As always, you overthink things or don't think at all, child of mine. Cleary my over self nor that damned witch raise you right and while i plan to rectify that later, our own pleasures come first."

Xero barely had time to blink, let alone pull himself out of his memories, as Saber Alter seemly appeared out of nowhere, locked the door and slug an arm around the red beat Mordred, pulling her closer to the trio and the knocked out Ackerman. The fact her face remained impassive as ever, as if walking over to a threesome was just a walk in the park was still a sexy sight to behold.

Much like Mordred, the altered Saber version of Artoria wasn't very good with her emotions and often had that mask of impassiveness up at all times.

Unlike Mordred however, Saber Alter had no problem taking what she wanted, when she wanted and however she wanted.

The Altered Berserker growled, tighten her grip on his thighs, having no intention of moving as Saber Alter planted her son next to the Altered Berserker, as she spoke, voice still cold and devoid emotion as she looked down at her son, "You are going to stay here and help please my queen, while i take care of Miss Ackerman. When i get back, i expect you to have at least helped make my queen cum at least once and if not, then i will tie you down and make you watch how to properly please your master. Make no mistake, it will not be fun for you, as i will personally break you and make sure that your only use is to be used as a living fuck doll for him, for the rest of his life. At least then you'd be good at something, other than being a rowdy child and a failure as a knight and son."

Oh wow, that was kind of dark and just flat out cruel.

And hot truth be told, if his cock twitching in the Alter's mouth was any indication, as the Alter grabbed Mikasa and slugged her over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes and walked out the door without another word.

"...I know she's hard core but that was going a bit overboard, even for her woof."

Out of habit, Xero smacked the Berserker on the back of her head for the so not needed commentary. It wasn't the first time Saber Alter had threaten Mordred like that and each time, she never followed through with her threat...Cause Mordred was always able to complete the task given to her before.

Neither of the duo knew if the Dark King was serious, but the master and Saber duo didn't want to know if she would follow through with it. Ever since her marriage to him, Saber Alter had remained the hardcore, demanding woman she always had but was noticeable soften on him and much harder on the other Servants. Which to be fair, shit has been going down a lot harder lately, while Xero has gotten much stronger since the early days of Chaldea, so did his enemies.

Whether this was a sign that she truly loved him and wanted him to be safe or if maybe she just had a strong sense of borderline yandereness like possessiveness Jalter had, it was unclear.

But like many things, Xero thought it be best left unknown.

It was sometimes for the best to leave well enough alone.

"M-mother." Mordred however looked a tab bit fearful, fully believing she'd carry that threat out and in a rare moment of weakness, looked to him for help...Or maybe she was just playing along with the threat, deliberately acting scared and fearful in some sort of roleplay he wasn't privy too. Normally, it would be easy to read Mordred, as the Saber couldn't or rather, wouldn't hide what she was thinking and didn't care for what others thought of her, much like him. Her face always portrayed what she thought and what she was thinking, always.

With that cocky sneer or anger look, Mordred wore her emotions on her sleeve.

Saber Alter was the exact opposite however, as only when they were alone, just the two of them did the Dark Saber let her mask of stoic fall, revealing the woman beneath it. She could be shocking needy and loving when she wanted to be, but only when it was just the two of them.

Anyway, the point was it was impossible to tell if this little display was real of just them playing along with the other's game.

It was hard to tell and honestly, who cares?

Xero would just have to make sure that Saber Alter didn't have just cause to go through with her threat. It wouldn't be the first time he had done something like this, as he had often got a little bloodplay with Carmilla, which is basically playing with really hot fire.

Thanks to him being a rare-blood type, supernatural creatures like vampires found his blood very delicious and at times like that, the Assassin acted like a starved animal under some sort of hypnosis of sorts. But it only added to the thrill of it all, knowing that the powerful vampire could lose control any second before he could utter a word, only made it more thrilling.

Thankful though, Carmilla had more than self-control to prevent that from happening and he had something more...tasty then blood to offer the vampires when she needed it or was thirsty. Even before he married her, the Assassin would sneak into his room, like a secret meeting place, so she could get her reward of his tasty blood.

Smiling gently, while grunting at feeling his cock get sucked harder by the Berserker, Xero helped Mordred up and kissed her, causing the stiff Saber to freeze but slowly fall into the kiss.

"MWAH"

Smiling gently at the Saber, the master slowly pushed both Berserker's off him, much to their displeasure.

"Probably be the smart idea to ensure your father doesn't have a reason to punish you, when she comes back, neh?"

Before Mordred even realized it, she was suddenly on all four, on the bed, her sorry excuse for clothing gone and all the while her dear mother and master started plowing her from behind!

POV Change

"By Artemis, i don't know why but this is really hot to watch."

Berserker Atalanta Alter never, ever, EVER once thought she would ever be in this kind of situation, watching as her mate fucked the Knight of Betrayal in the ass with reckless abandonment, while she fingered herself to the sight of it. The room was filled with very loud SLAPS and SMACKS of flesh meeting flesh, with the strong scent of sex filling the room and her nose to the point, one might think she was actually huffing the scent.

It was almost enough to make her cum right then and there, watching as her mate fuck the muscled knight girl.

Before she was summoned to Xero's Chaldea, the Berserker wouldn't even THINK of such lewd sights, let alone be a part of one. Hell, neither did her other self and the original Atalanta is often seen being a part of threesomes or bloody damn foursomes but that is beside the point.

The point was, back before she came to Chaldea, neither Atalanta would have dreamed about anyone, let alone a man touching them so intimating, so lovingly, in such a way that could be be described as dance of love to all those involved. Because of her past, of her father's actions, Atalanta hated the idea of having a male master and upon summoning, treated her dear mate like shit.

Constantly poking at his worries, his failures and just general being very bitchy to him. Mostly when they were alone, as if she dared do any of that in front of that goddess damned false Saint or the King of Knights, they would have her head. Looking back now, she felt pure shame at the simply fact, she originally never gave her beloved a chance to prove her wrong.

Nope.

He's a man and their all bad.

But by some stroke of fate or just luck, the two versions of Atalanta saw for whom Xero really was:

A good man.

One, who once he makes a promise, he would never break it and if need be, he would die to keep that promise. Even if that promise was to keep two young children safe, ones he barely knew, from any harm. Be it starvation, dehydration, frostbite, overheating, man eating rats, bastards people, hunting ruthless knights, it didn't matter, her mate kept his promise to protect Amicia and Hugo, not only from the Inquisition but all those who wish to do them harm.

And he didn't have to!

He CHOSE to do it, out of his own free will and could have left at ANYTIME he wanted but didn't, all the while putting humanity's future on the line with his outright reckless actions and beliefs. But he stood by them and when he finally did come back to Chaldea, both version of the Huntress never once, felt the shame they felt when he did.

They were completely and utterly wrong about him and when she got the chance, both Berserker and Archer swore their loyalty as both a Servant and a Follower of the Goddess Artemis.

"But even then, i never thought i'd end up like this."

Folding and fingering herself to the sight of her master and mate, fucking the blonde Saber in the ass so hard, it was a wonder why the bed didn't break. Even more so, as she cried out in pleasure, making heat rise to the Berserker's cheeks. Everything was making her head spin, the scent in the room, the lewd nosing coming from the coupling pair, Cat cheering him on to "Rute his bitch of a son" making her fingers dig in faster and the taste of his per-cum lingering on her tongue.

Her animals side, one that had fully submitted to him long ago, was all but screaming at her to take Mordred place and be bred by their shared master/mate. Even if it was impossible to get pregnant seeing as she is a Servant, doesn't mean they couldn't act like they were trying to get her little kittens. A thought that made her blush even more but she held back, if only in the interest of fairness.

But that doesn't mean she couldn't enjoy some form of her own pleasures.

Removing her hand and crawling up on the bed, the Berserker stuck her head in the elbow of her mate's unused arm, as he pulled Mordred's hair while he fucked her, so she could smell his intoxicating scent. It was unclear if she loved his musk because of her animalistic side or if she was just that type of person but she didn't care one way or another.

She was thankful that Xero had clean shaven armpits, as it made it all the more easier for her to enjoy his natural musk.

"Getting kind of greedy, don't Ya think?"

Xero grunted, pushing in and out of the Saber, as he felt the Berserker's tongue on his skin, as she dragged it up his armpit. Cat noticed and pouted at her fellow Berserker, "I want some of master's love too, woof!"

Without waiting the Berserker being to kiss him, fully shoving her tongue down his throat, making him groan. The combined efforts of the three girls, plus fucking Mikasa earlier and the Alter's blowjob proved too much for him to hold back anymore.

"MPMPH, SMACK, FUCK! GOING TO, SMACK, CUM!"

"AGH, ME TOO...MOMMY!"

"FUCK!"

Mordred went wide eyes, as she felt her mother/master/queen fill her bowls with his hot load. The force of it, with Xero smacking her ass and pulling her hair, had caused the well trained knight to cum hard, wetting the bed with her girl cum, causing her to collapse like she was boneless. Breathing heavy as she looked dazed with a goofy smile on her face.

"Well this should keep your father off your back."

The Master felt relief wash over him, finally getting some much needed release and wiped his forehead off the sweat. But he was far from done, let alone satisfied as he wrapped his arm around the Altered Berserker and gently lifted her up, much to her shock.

"M-master."

"Hush now love, I've been neglecting you lately, haven't i? I am sorry to do that to you but allow me to make it up to you, my darling mate."

It was quite a treat to watch the Berserker's normally stoic face light up like the fireworks on the fourth of July, acting all meek and submissive. Never once did he ever think she could be like this when they first met, but here she was, shuttering and blabbing out something but he wasn't hearing it. That Blake girl believed he made his "Faunus" Servants his pets did she?

Well, maybe it was time he reward his loyal 'pets' for remaining loyal to him.

Being sure not to lay her down on Mordred, Xero moved Tamamo Cat off his lap and put the Berserker down on the bed in missionary position, "M-master, wait i-"

"I told you to hush Alter. I've been working you all to the bone lately, so let me do all the work this time and reward my good girl."

The Berserker version of Atalanta the Huntress, a wild, powerful force of nature that could devour everything, one that can slaughter entire armies by herself and raise entire nations to the ground in one night...simply nodded submissively, waiting for her mate to do whatever he wanted to her without a word as she wordless spread her legs and laid her arms by her side, allowing her mate full view of her sexy body.

Her moonlight pale skin that was slick with sweat, duel colored hair that was sprayed out behind her back like a curtain, her full round breasts perky with her pink nipples fully harden begging to be sucked on, a flat tummy, slim muscular arms, long legs and a hairless cunt that was all but begging for attention.

To know he had this kind of power over her, able to command her without uttering a word or even using a Command Seal to make the powerful Berserker do what he wanted was quite the power trip.

With a smile, Xero slowly pushed his length inside the Berserker's moist pussy, intending to make up for all the neglect he had unintentionally given her. This caused the Berserker to spasm and...cum on his cock?

"Nen, nen, did Ms. Huntress just cum all over our husband's cock? Oh dear me, he's trained you so well that you'd cum just from him sticking it in you, woof. Maybe husband really should just put a collar on you, seeing as you seem to very much like being his pet. I bet your addicted to his cum and body you can't get enough, can you Ms. Huntress, woof."

In another lifetime, those words would have resulted in someone getting their head bitten off or throat ripped out. But in THIS lifetime, she merely blushed and looked away from her mate, blushing up another storm, even if she didn't mind being 'trained' as Cat put it.

But the thought of being collar made her entire body lite up in embarrassment.

"I am Berserker, a wild animal. So it's best you either stay far away as possible from me or...perhaps, would you like to try your hand at taming me?"

She wasn't lying back then, as a Berserker class Servant, Atalanta Alter knew she would be prone to losing control of herself, as it was expected of her class. She didn't want to hurt anyone truth be told, even back then before she learned to love the man above her and now that they were in this kind of relationship, with new enemies, a new world and allies alike, maybe it was time for her to fully be honest with her mate. The idea of being trained and collared like some kind of wild animal was one of her darkest fantasies.

Now that she's been mated to her master for almost two years and seeing as how her body reacts to him now, maybe it was time to fully explore her darkest fantasy. Her mate wouldn't hold it against her and he's always taken such good care of her, might as well go all the way. Even when her anger and rage got the better of her, threaten to take complete control of her, over overriding her thought process, her master, her beloved mate was there to soothe her rage.

But when it became too much for her to control, when a more firmer hand was need, Xero would help her chain and muzzle her Berserker's rage. Only allowed to bare it's teeth against the ugliness and injustice of the world on her mate's command, one hand always firmly on the chain that held the anger back, so she would destroy their enemies.

Not the ones they loved.

But that was ultimately irrelevant at the moment and now it was time to make her darkest fantasy a reality.

"W-wait, mate. I, i have a request."

Blinking, Xero stopped, and the Berserker told him, even if her face resembles a tomato as she asked him to make her darkest fantasy a reality, she pushed on. Even if part of her told her, that her beloved mate would look at her like some kind of freak or weirdo, the rest of her told her to bite the bullet and trust her master to be the man she believed in. The one she trusted wholeheartedly and loved enough to give him her heart. By the end of it, Xero, Cat and even Mordred started laughing at the blushing Berserker.

"Shut up."

The only reason she was clobbering the laughing trio was because the laughter wasn't a mocking one, it was one where's the person believing she was being silly and ridiculous about something that should have been obvious.

"Hahaha, A-Atalanta you are so silly, you know i wouldn't think less of you for wanting to do something like that." Xero said, wiping a tear from his eyes, "But i have to make sure, do you really want to do this? Once we start, i doubt either of us will be able to go back."

"Yes, I'm sure mate. I've had many years to think about this and two years to mull over it, not to mention my other self, the Archer one has the same desires as me. She just doesn't want to admit it and I'm a Berserker, so you need to do this so i won't hurt anyone i care for, so please i...i-" She couldn't say it, it was so embarrassing, even as her mate just laughed and gently rubbed her ears in just the right way that made the Alter turn to putty in his hands, causing her to lean into his gasp and purr lightly at feeling his callous fingers graze her soft appendages.

"I get it, you can't say it. It's alright and it's nothing to be embarrassed about, having certain types of wants and needs is all part of being alive. But i do get where you're coming from, believe me i do, so let's do it. Got to be honest, my Yoma side is all for making you my pet. Still, if you want it that badly, maybe i should just fully break you right here and now. I know, we'll get you a nice, diamond encrusted collar, maybe with a tinge of gold in it to fit around your neck so sung. Make sure it doesn't cut into that lovely skin of yours. Show everyone that you belong to me, that is if this is what you really want. Still your second form already has a collar attached to it right? Would you rather i get you a new one or would you like me to add a leash or something to that one you already have? Oh we'll decide later. Hmmm, hey Alter can you change the tattoo on your stomach at will? Cause i'm thinking that it be a great place to put MY mark on, give everyone the sign that your womb is mine. What do you think, sound like a great idea, no? But before all that, i have to ask again Berserker, are you sure you want this. I know you said that i could try to tame you and we already established a new type of relationship to ensure that when you lose your control, you would only act on my command alone but this is different. Are you one hundred percent sure that you want to do this?"

"Absolutely."

Oh by Artemis, the Berserker show felt heat rush from her head to her lower lips, never once feeling so turned on in her entire life. To hell with waiting and deciding if she wanted to do this or not, Atalanta Alter felt like she was about to cream herself at hearing those naughty words leaving her mate's mouth!

Her rage and hate were already tamed by her mate, time for him to tame the rest of her!

Hearing her mate, her master let out a short bark of laughter and next command, she scrambled to do just that,"Then turn over on all fours and show me your ass, my dear Berserker. It's time i'd break this lovely ass of yours in once again."

As the Berserker got into position, her mind wandered back to the day she realized her master was everything she wanted in a mate. The day she swore her loyalty to him.

Flashback:

"Hiss. Oh fuck, this shit still hurt like hell."

It has been nearly five days since Xero had returned to Chaldea after nearly an entire YEAR trapped within, what Gudako would call, The "Rat Singularity" and honestly, she wouldn't be far off the mark with the name.

But that was irrelevant, as the second he came back, his so called "Personal Nurse" Florence had him put into quarantine, preventing anyone be it Servant or human, seeing him. Which, to be completely fair she had every right and did the best thing she could have done in this type of situation. The time period from which he cme back from, was not only riddled with diseases and goddess knows what else, it was the time of the Black Plague.

A deadly disease that had ripped and torn its way through Europe without pause.

That and the fact his back was torn all to hell thanks to Lord DICK-ols's interrogator had torn his back to sherds without mercy and even with his newly awakened Yoki, it didn't heal quite right. Thus, upon returning to Chaldea and being forced to take a bath for five hours straight in disinfect water, then taken to what was rapidly becoming his own personal recovery bed.

It was only today he was allowed to be up and about, to greet his Servants and friends, try to soothe their worries and what not. But because of the nature of his wounds, he was forced to go without a shirt or lay his back on anything till it healed up properly. Florence was very adamant about, which Xero didn't fight her on. Cause honestly, every time something touched his back, it felt like a fire was igniting through every cell in his body.

"Despite that, things around here have changed."

Not in a physical sense but more to the point, the atmosphere, mood and people within Chaldea. There was an emotion that seemed to be shared among everyone, Servant and human alike as they looked at him whenever he walked by:

Respect.

There were several emotions flooding through Chaldea but that one, singular emotion was present on EVERYONE's faces. Everyone, even ones like Gilgamesh and Jalter now held a certain amount of respect for him and if Xero were being honest, it felt good.

This was a mission, his mission, one that he completed all on his own without help and even if he nearly died, it still felt good to complete it by himself.

It made him feel a certain amount of pride within himself to be able to do it without anyone's help and while he understood why he needed the Servant's help, it still felt good to complete a self-imposed mission by himself. It felt good, it really did!

"Now if only i didn't have to deal with this horrible pain in my goddess damned back!"

Ever since he started viewing the memories of his Servants, normal pain had lost all meaning to him and it was the only thing that kept him from cracking under the pressure of torture was the fact he knew what it was like to be BURNED ALIVED!

"Everyone, even the greatest of us heroes can break under the right circumstances master, it is nothing to be ashamed of. You however, held out longer then anyone in your position would, especially with that skinny body of yours. You held firm and strong under the threat of death and i couldn't be prouder to call you my master."

The fact Scathach, the legendary warrior queen of the Shadow Land, said that to him made him soar with pride and put a smile on his face at her sincere words. Cu had even told him that his teacher never complemented anyone unless they earned it with their own two hands.

However, during the entire day Xero was basically babied by everyone!

Yes, he meant EVERYONE!

That included even Jalter, who by the way liked to cause him trouble just because she liked to do so, had made it a point not to stress him out too much or make any move to touch his flogged back. Bloody hell, Boudica had to make it a point to hover behind him, along with mama Emyia and Artoria to ensure some of the more impulsive/affection Servants like Nobu and Nero from jumping him to get some much needed hugs from him.

Even if the motherly redhead clearly wanted her own hug, she restrained herself from doing so, even if the Rider looked desperate to do so.

Shockingly enough, it was Kiyohime who had stopped ones like Nero from doing so and not because she was being her usual jealous self but in a very rare moment of clarity, knew that it would cause her dear master great pain if someone did touch it.

Medea so badly wanted to use her healing magic to help him but Florence wouldn't let her, simply because they had no idea what his Yoki would do in the event Medea attempted to forceful heal his wounds. His magic and Yoki were slowly merging, not becoming one mind you but merging to the point the two energies wouldn't come into conflict within his body.

So it wouldn't tear his body apart.

Medea huffed and growled but reluctantly did nothing, not wanting to make things worse than they already were. He would have to remember to thank her properly later, after he got back on his feet. But that didn't stop her from making potions and such to help speed his recovery along, much to Florence's annoyance, as she believed magic and healing should in fact NOT go together.

Strangely enough but seeing as she was a Berserker class Servant, he supposed it made a some sense.

Even if Florence had this weird thing about not believing magic had any place in medical field, it doesn't change the fact she was right about one thing. There was no telling how his Yoki would react to another magic, even if that magic is that of a Servants. His magic and blood were already tainted by his Yoma blood and from what he had heard from Roman, his blood was becoming highly toxic to humans.

If Miria knew about this or his mother, neither one ever told him.

Yawning to himself, Xero laid down on his bed, having to have to rearranged so he could sleep on his stomach and wearing nothing but boxers, Xero felt sleep creep into his being, as he laid his head on the pillow-

Knock, knock.

"Master? Are you awake?"

Blinking the sleep from his eyes, Xero turned his head to the door and spoke,"It's open!"

Even if he was half asleep, it was a surprise to see Atalanta, both Berserker and Archer, enter his room with Archer holding some kind of cream?

"Oh. I'm sorry, i didn't know you were-"

"I wasn't. I just laid down, so you didn't wake me up." Xero cut off the Archer, as the Berserker looked everywhere but at him, as he could see...guilt? Why did so look guilty? He was smart and had a photographic memory but he didn't recall anything that would have made either huntress feel or look guilty about. He knew his relationship with the legendary huntress wasn't what one would call good but he didn't think it was bad.

Or at least not too bad, as she had sneered and mocked him from time to time but then again, so did Gilgamesh and Jalter, so nothing new there.

Given her history and past, Xero didn't want to try and push the issue.

"Berserker made these gels to help speed up your recovery and ensure you wouldn't get an infection from your wounds master. Mash isn't available to do that or rewrap new bandages, so we volunteered to do it."

Okay that was weird.

It wasn't like Mash to miss out on a chance to help him or Gudako, even if she had to do paperwork or anything of the like. But then again, that's probably why she wasn't here then, doing another errand for someone else.

Mash was a sweet heart and a precious bean like that.

"Alright." Sighing, he got up from his laid position and sat on his bed, as the Archer walked behind him and begin to pull off the old bandages from his body slowly. The Berserker version of Atalanta hadn't even looked at him, even with her sideways sneer or snarl present on her pretty face. The duel haired woman was even shuffling on her feet in a rare show of embarrassed or nervousness, he wasn't sure.

The young teen hissed again, when he felt the Archer slowly remove the old bandages and only when did she begin to apply the cream to his wounds, did the Berserker finally speak, "Master i...we need to talk and i need to apologize to you. My behavior and how i've been treating you since my summoning has been unacceptable and deplorable for anyone to act, least of all, a follower of Lady Artemis."

"Berserker, you don't-"

"I'm not finished!"

The Berserker cut off her master, now looking him directly in the eyes, having to bend her knee's so she could be eye level with him,"I wanted to say i am Sorry! I am sorry for always mocking you, i am sorry for thinking you were just some perverted teen but most of all, i am sorry for being such a complete, unreasonable, jerkish person and for being just a plain bitch to you when you've done nothing to earn my ire. But i let my past and pain of what happened to me blind me to what kind of person you are, someone who is more than worthy to be my master. It is when a person is on death's door step and when you believe you are going to die, is a person's true nature revealed. But even the threat of death did not stop you from doing everything you could to protect Amicia and Hugo, even if your death meant that humanity had a greater chance of being destroyed. You could have left anytime, but you didn't and even knowing that you could die at any second, you stood by those two till the end. Watching everything you went through, what you had to do in order to protect those two made me realize just how unfair i have been to you and i wish to make amends. Therefore, i would like to offer you my life, my strength, my bow, my body and my loyalty, not just as a Servant but as a follower of Artemis. That is, if you will have me...my master."

Oh...oh, well now, this was unexpected.

Xero was stunned into silence, listening to the Berserker's words, hearing the emotions of regret, shame and even admiration in her voice but the one constant emotion in her voice was sincerity. The Berserker went so far as to get into a kneeling position and bowing her head, to prove just how serious she was about this.

He didn't even need to hear what the woman had to say, as he could feel her emotions through their bond, how much shame she felt when he returned. No, even before then, after he started traveling with the siblings, he begin to feel both Atalanta's shame in her actions before he returned to Chaldea. It was like that annoying tick in the back of your mind, one where you knew it was there but couldn't quite figure out what the hell it was.

Till now.

Now, it all made sense as to what he was feeling.

"Yes, well i would like to but it seems i've left my Scepter in my other pocket dimension."

That was what he wanted to say but seeing the hope and need to make amends in the Berserker's eyes, he decide to hold back his snark.

"Berserker, no Atalanta i never held anything against you for why you acted the way you did. You have every right to be wary of me, i make it a point to read up on every Servant's history that i summon, if only to get an idea of what i'm dealing with, so i wouldn't accidently offend them or not. So your attitude towards me and how you acted were more than justified."

"B-but master we-"

"Now I'M not finished." Xero cut off the Archer, causing the duo to fall silent, as Xero slowly sat in a seated position, much to the Archer's worry but he brushed it off,"I won't claim to be the perfect master, never have and never will, but let's be honest who could be the perfect master? I'm honestly doing everything i can to hold everything together and yes, i will be honest, you acting less like a, well less of a bitch would certainly be helpful. But then again, it would be a hell of a lot easier if Gilgamesh was less of an arrogant asshole and Jalter didn't snap at the littlest thing. Bloody hell, it would be easier if Kiyohime wasn't a yandere and Astolfo and Bradamante weren't such idiots but then again when has it ever been easy. If there is one thing i've learned about being a master, it's that you have to accept everything about the Servant you summon, flaws and all. So, what i am trying to say is that i understand why you did it and if this is how you want to do this, then i will accept your loyalty, huntress of Artemis, Atalanta the Huntress."

The Berserker and Archer smiled, as the Alter kept her head bowed before their shared master.

"You won't regret it my master. But there is one thing i need you to do for."

"What is it?"

"I..."

Flashback Over

"I need you to be the one that controls my anger and rage. I fear i will only end up hurting those i intend to protect, so i need you to be the one that holds the chain to my hate, to take control of me when i lose myself."

"My master? Heh. Not just my master but my mate and love as well, it's funny how things turn out."

The Altered Berserker thought to herself blissfully, as said mate mounted her from behind and made use of holes that she never dreamed of being used in such a way in any of her lives. The feeling of fullness and heat that was coming from her backdoor, as her beloved started to fuck her into submission never failed to make her feel like she was on cloud nine.

"Now i understand why Lady Artemis demands her followers take a vow of chastity, sex is so good~. Its so addictive."

It was annoying to hear the other Servants, both female and even male Servants like Arthur and D'Eon, couldn't shut up about how good sex with their master was. Sex felt amazing!

If she had known sex was this good, Atalanta honestly didn't know for certain if she would have stayed loyal or not. She couldn't keep her hands off her master, at least once a month, she found herself at the foot of his bed, being ridden by her beloved master. Much like now, she was on all fours, gripping the sheets of the bed with her clawed hands, all but tearing said sheets, and letting out a wanton moans as her master railed her ass.

"Mahstar!"

The Berserker let out a slurred scream as Xero pushed her into the bed and thrust into her with such vigor that the bed creaked in protest,""Sho deep! You're gonna break me~ Plehse brasjk mu~"

"I plan too, my sweet pet. We won't be leaving this room, till your mind is nothing but mush and drooling all over my cock. Maybe i should just take you off the attack team entirely and kept you chained up in my room, as a pet. You were raised in the wild right? Ah, who cares if you were or weren't, you act like a wild animal either way and seeing how needy you're being, i won't stop fucking you till your mind breaks completely! The only thing you'll be good from now on, is acting as my cute little pet."

Oh by Artemis, Atalanta swore she just about cum again at hearing those dirty, deprived words!

Pleasure ripped through her body, as she came for a THIRD time, when her master not only smacked her round rump and gripped her tail. His dirty words caused her heart to beat so fast, it was a wonder why it was still in her chest. Any and all regret she might have felt about breaking her vow to her Lady, even after she got permission from the goddess, washed away as her inside got reshaped by her master's cock.

"Oh yes..."

The Berserker thought, as her head was forced onto the bed, grinning a goofy smile as her master laid deeper into her bowls,"...i regret, oh by Artemis this is so good, nothing!"

Within The Viewing Room

"Despite having many good qualities, Xero still possess one hell of a nasty temper with an equally ruthless streak to match said temper. Even if he mostly the laid back, sassy type, once you make him mad your deader than my grandfather. You know what they say about the quite ones Wiz? Well, that fits Xero perfectly. They don't give out the title of Arch-Mage for shits and giggles, you got to earn that title with skill and power. While Xero has plenty of both, all that power came with a high price."

"True on both accounts."

"Indeed Boomstick, despite his sassy, sarcastic and laid back nature, Xero is one of the people you do NOT want to make anger. While it is true that it takes A LOT to make the primary master of Chaldea anger, you push the right buttons and Xero will straight up go ballistic on your ass. Though this hasn't always been a bad thing, as there were some situations that needed him blinded by anger and hate, in order to survive them."

"Such as the time, when Xero got trapped in a Dream Illusion and the only way to break free was...to KILL EVERYONE AS BRUTALLY AS POSSIBLE!"

"Wha?!"

"It's a lie...IT'S ALL GODDESS DAMNED LIE!"

"Ahh!"

Some of the more meeker ones, like Ruby, Izuku and Ochaka jumped as the screen changed to show a furious Xero killing ROMANI?!

"Oh...i, i remember this one."

Gudako winced, as she lean back and her face grew worried, as did Olga. Both women remember how bent out of shape and distrusting Xero was, once he came back out of the illusion, how distrusting of everything he was. That wasn't including his mental state and how big a blow to his psych was.

"M-master wait-"

"SHUT UP!"

Without a shred of hesitation or mercy, Xero(Using Berserker Atalanta class card) as he grabbed "Tamamo's" head and crushed it between his armored fingers and shoved his fist through chest, gripping her beating heart and crushing it. He ignored the feeling pain strike his heart as seeing the silly fox Caster looked at him with watery eyes. He didn't want to do this goddess damnit, she was always so kind and helpful and-

"It's not real, it's not real, it's not REAL! ARG I'M GOING TO FUCKING TEAR THAT GODDESS DAMNED MAGUS TO PIECES! BUT NOT BEFORE I TEAR THIS DAMNED DREAM FIRST!"

Ignoring everything around him by using his anger fueled by hate, drowned out all the pleas for mercy, screaming of betrayal, questions to why he was doing this and even the tears that stung his eyes, Xero/Atalanta started tearing their way through Chaldea and his own Servants, not sparing a single one with the frenzy of a Berserker's rage.

"Holy crap, he looks like that duel haired woman!" Izuku spoke, as everyone took note how different Xero looked.

Unlike the Xero they knew before, the one on screen had dual hair of sliver and pink/reddish color. His eyes were the same as his hair, a duel color of purple and gold with silts, while his clothing was the final form of the Berserker's skin he was wearing. The heavy black and purple armor, giving Xero a savage look, as he ripped and torn his way through his "allies".

"This is one result of how deep the bond between master and Servant can go. When you reach a certain level of trust between the two, we can use an item called a Class Card, which allows the master to basically merge with the Servant, a fusion between master and Servant. The Servant quite literally gives their body and power to the master, putting the master in complete control of their power, allowing the master and Servant to fight as one."

"Sounds powerful and dangerous." Steve said, as Gudako nodded.

"It is cap, very dangerous in fact. Make no mistake, the Cards prevent the two from becoming a permanent fusion, it does not stop the master from being influenced by the Servant."

"Influenced?" Jessica asked, confusion plain on her face, "Influenced how?"

"Basically, picking up certain habits and attitudes from the Servant the master is fused with. Naturally, the longer you stayed fused or the more frequent you use them, you will pick up more than just bad habits but personal skills and personality traits. This goes without saying but there are certain Servants, who's habits and attitudes you really shouldn't pick up but for Oni-chan, one personality trait he picked up is from Kiritsugu. Namely how he can completely detach himself from his emotions and act like a real-life terminator."

"Kiritsugu? The Magus Killer, THAT Kiritsugu?!" Irina asked in shock and fear, as the redheaded master chuckled.

"So, even in this timeline, Kiritsugu is still thought of as the boogeyman. Good to know."

"Hey, hold up, who is this Magus Killer guy?" Sun asked, as Xenovia spoke in a bland tone.

"Kiritsugu Emiya, otherwise known as the Magus Killer is a freelance mercenary that has hunted down countless heretical Magus all over the world with deadly succession. While he only targeted Magus that went too far with their craft, if you became his target, then death was inevitable, as no Magus he has targeted has ever escaped him, no matter how skilled or powerful they were. Even after years of no one seeing him and believed to be dead, his name still haunts Magus all over the world to this day."

"That's all true and his magic origin is based on Cutting and Tying. So even if he did miss his mark, if one of his 'origin bullets' hits you, it would tear up a Magus magic circuits, preventing them from ever using magic ever again. To a Magus, being unable to use magic is a fate worse than death itself."

Gudako made certain to leave out the part where Diarmuid couldn't stand the Assassin and almost killed him on the spot, when her Oni-chan summoned him. The last thing she needed to do, was worry daddy about their beloved Servants not getting along.

"So..." Connie started off slowly,"...did boss have to-"

"Kill you all in the illusion too? Yes, and believe me, it torn his heart to pieces, even though he knew it wasn't real. Having to kill something that looks, acts and talks like the ones you love, no matter how fake it might be will always leave scars on a person's heart and Oni-chan has plenty of those. That is of course, not including all those that had turned during the Dead War in Avenger Xero's future. His future self-had to kill so many of his fallen comrades either being turned, to prevent them from turning or if they just simply lost all hope or just went flat out insane with the madness of everything happening around them."

That caused many to wince, knowing full well that Avenger Xero was the last human left alive and knowing his personality towards those he cares for, many knew the master would not leave his friends in an undead state.

Nobody wants to be a zombie and already they could see Avenger Xero killing their zombie selves, just so they wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

"Okay, I think i get it but how does Xero know about 'Avenger Xero's' future?" Mina suddenly asked, confusion clear on her face, "What's the difference between Xero and Avenger Xero anyway? Is it some sort of title or something?"

"Just know it's a very complicated thing sweetie. It'll be easier to just watch and lear-Wipe that look off your face, it's not what you think." Gudako suddenly said, cutting herself off from talking to the pink skinned girl and glaring at Blake, making the Faunus blink, "Look? What look?"

"The look that screams 'i was right and you are wrong.' It's not what you think and whatever argument you may think is right, your wrong. This Illusion Oni-chan is, WAS in is a particular nasty one."

"How so?" Erwin asked before ANOTHER argument could break out, as Gudako sighed.

"Unlike most illusions, where it makes a fake reality before the targets eyes, the Dream Illusions are different. The Illusions reads your heart, it sees your regrets and dreams then makes them a reality all around you. It doesn't focus on just one person, as it can affect several targets at once, it can even affect an entire village all at once. Unlike regular illusions, this type of illusion is more or less, a hard-light version, something that you can see, hear, touch, taste and feel as if it was real, even if it is all a lie. That makes it so much harder to break then a regular illusion, as for regular illusions, you only need to pull one stream to break it. Dream illusions though, you need to do more than just pull one stream. You need to actively tear the illusion apart, piece by piece and destroy the very thing your heart desires the most. That's what makes this illusion such a nasty one, if it cannot kept its target trapped within the happy dream, then it can deal quite a psychological blow to the target's mind."

"S-so, what you're saying is-"

"Oni-chan had to kill everyone he has ever loved in the most brutal way possible, in order to break out of the illusion? Yes, he did and believe me, it dealt quite a massive blow to his heart. People can fight pain sure but can they fight happiness? No." Gudako answered Tony's question in a solemn manner. This caused the man known as Iron Man to fall silent, as did everyone else, even the villains knew better than to say something, otherwise they could be in serious trouble otherwise. Even Blake, who oh so wanted a reason to prove herself right and condom Mazoku, knew that this was a losing battle and rather than try to push on with the topic, stayed silent.

"But he's a murder! He KILLED those he supposedly loves!"

Or not.

Gudako felt a headache build behind her eyes, as Tony abruptly stood up and glared death at the cat bitch, "Which it kit-kat, that's my son your talking about."

"But it's true, he-"

"We're ALL killers here, girly." Clint off Blake, also glaring at her, "None of the Avengers hands are clean. Not mine, not Nat's, not Bruce, not Logan, not Jessica and most certainly not Zee. I know your type, you've before haven't you? I bet you were even apart of the White Fang, weren't ya?"

"..."

Blake said nothing, just gritting her teeth and glaring at the Archer.

"Blake, stop that's-"

"No!" Blake swatted her mother's hand away, never taking her eyes off Barton, "I have killed before! There, i admit! I was even apart of the White Fang but i left! I'm trying to make up for it, trying to atone for what I've done! But what does Mazoku do?! He keeps on doing, he keeps killing anything and everything in his way without remorse! And he gets away with it?! What the hell is wrong with you all?! Are you that scared of him?!"

"...Shu-"

"No." Sasha titled her head, as if all the things the Cat Faunus was in a completely different language, even if it was in English, "Why should we be scared of boss?"

"But she just admitted that he killed you!"

"...up."

"The illusion versions of us? Yeah, okay it's a bit jarring sure but it was an illusion, so no harm done."

No harm done? NO HARM DONE?!

Blake looked ready to rip her hair out, what the hell is wrong with them all?! Are they all that blinded by loyalty or was it some kind of spell?! "That doesn't change anything! He still killed people, who had done nothing to him! Do you all just ignore the blood baths he's left behind all over the world?! How people has he killed, just because he could?!"

"Those 'people' you are referring too are criminals. Not just criminals, they were the worst of the worst. Serial killers, rapists, drug lords that hook little kids on their drugs uncaring if it kills them or not, terrorists that kill indiscriminately while peaching shit, human traffickers that steal people from their homes, drug them up on goddess knows what and force them into slavery to the anyone willing to pay the price. I understand why your anger and your confused, Oni-chan didn't kill people. He killed monsters in human skin, as the old saying goes, fight fire with fire right? Well, sometimes you've got to fight monsters with monsters. It's not a pretty job but someone has to do it and Oni-chan stepped up to do it. He won't handicap himself just to make people like you happy, if someone is trying to kill us, we kill you and no amount of goodwill shall change the fact, morals are good and all but mean nothing if your dead. That's the cold logic of the world and no amount of passion or emotion can change that."

"But that doesn't make it right! There's a right way to do things!"

"...shut up."

Gudako raised a fiery red eyebrow at Blake, ignoring the slowly building rage of Historia, "Oh there is? So, while we're waiting for the system to do things the 'right way' more and more innocent people suffer for it. Then, once the system actually does its due diligence, they make a dog and pony show of capturing small timers, while the true threat slips away. Again. As it's been doing it for years and goes even harder on their victims and that's not even including the Cult or HYDRA. One, of which has not only infiltrated in many powerful positions but managed to worm its way to the very top of a very deadly organization like SHEILD, to unknowingly do their bidding. So, not only is the system broken, but it was also being used by the very same people it's supposed to stop. So, tell me, how would YOU fix this twisted system?"

"I...i would join up and fix things from the inside."

"Ha!"

Gudako laughed and snorted at the same time, giving Blake "are you serious" face, as Ymir spoke, "Are you really that stupid or are you just dumbly naive? You'd be dead within a week, right bowler hat guy?"

"Freckles is right Cat, you'd be deader than dead within a week. No, less than a week because you clearly can't control yourself. Kids today really are impulsive and stupid. At least Mazoku understands what the real world is like and rather than try to change it, he takes it by the horns and flips it in on its head, showing it who's boss. I thought you were supposed to understand how the real world works too but clearly, you don't and really are naive." Roman took great pleasure in mocking the Faunus and little Red, ignoring Ymir's remark about his hat, as he grinned as the Faunus gritted her teeth, while Ruby looked teary eyed at Gudako.

"B-but your heroes, right? Why do-"

"Let's get one thing straight little red riding hood: The word hero, justice and what is right is very subjective and objective, depending on person to person can have completely different meanings. One person's hero can be another person's villain, a heroic act to many could be the sign of oppression to another. Oni-chan and i aren't villains or criminals who enjoy terrorizing innocent people but i wouldn't go so far as to call us heroes either. It's like Wiz and Boomstick said, Oni-chan is an anti-hero and so am i. We do what needs to be done and if you think you've seen the worst that is to come, if the Cult wins, let me assure you...You have no idea of what kind of hell they will rain down upon us all if they win."

"But...do you really have to kill them? Couldn't you just lock them up?" Ruby tried to be optimistic, but Gudako ruthless crushed it.

"We could but then they would just commit suicide and or escape, committing other atrocious that will make even the most harden huntsman or pro-hero lose their stomach. It's good your questioning things but remember this little Rose: They won't stop at just killing you. Oh no, they'll kill your family, your friends, your pets and destroy everything you hold dear and possible use your own body as some sort of ritual to commit even MORE atrocious. This is a war Rose and while we didn't fire the first shot, we will be the ones to fire the last. We will eradicate every trace of this evil and if that means killing them, then fine. They started this and now, they will suffer the consequences, along with all those that dare support them."

"Wait, there's more horrors to come? What else is there?"

Gudako then looked towards the leaders of Earth, "As i said, there is a lot more horror to come. The first battle you saw, the undead you saw were nothing more than the first wave, a prelude to the true horrors to come. I don't know all the details but there is a lot to cover, so it'll be easier to just show you. Sure we'll explain as we go on but it's just easier to show and tell then anything. You'll understand better once you see what we're truly up against."

As the redheaded master explained this, Ruby looked down, feeling her ideals come crashing down all around her, as Qrow and Summer sighed, while Yang hugged her sister. It was a very harsh truth that Ruby would have to learn but it was better than her getting killed. Neither of the two could find the strength to break such a harsh truth to her and were thankful to Gudako for unknowingly doing it for them.

They could thank her, by preventing Yang from doing anything stupid.

Blake however didn't take the insults lying down, "Maybe but at least I'm trying to make the world better, he's making it worse! He's nothing but a mindless killer and has even enslaved this world's version of Faunus! No better than the SDC or Gri-"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Historia, in a rare case of anger, actually yelled shocking the living hell out of her friends/comrades, as she actually PUNCHED Blake in the face and straddle her waist, raining tiny fist down on the huntress in training face, "SHUP UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO INSULT MY BIG BROTHER LIKE THAT, WHEN YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM! JUST BECAUSE YOUR A NARROW MINDED, PREJUDICE BITCH DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN BRING HIM DOWN TO YOUR SHITTY LEVEL AND PASS JUDGEMENT ON SOMEONE I LOVE!"

"GET OFF ME!"

Despite the blonde's righteous fury, Blake's aura still protected her from Historia's fury. Even though the Curator had taken their abilities, passive abilities and healing with aura wasn't taken away for instances like this. The Curator wasn't a fool, he knew things would boil over sooner or later, knowing how clashing ideals and point of views would send some people into a fist fight and these two would have gone at it had, had Ymir and Ghira not pulled the two apart like rabid animals. The two flared in the arms of their loved ones respectively till they stopped, tired but still glaring at each other.

"Blake what are you-"

"If you two are done, I'd very much like to continue our little anecdote." Only for everyone to go silent as the Curator's voice, normally a measured and controlled, now was colder then the coldest winds of Atlas and the North/South poles have ever seen. Even Gudako shivered at the outright frigid tone the Curator was using.

Historia and Blake went back to their seats, but not before the small blonde whispered loud enough for Blake to hear,"Pssh. What can you expect of the cowardly cat. The second something goes wrong, she runs with her tail between her legs. Maybe that's why she hates big brother, he's the better version of her cowardly ass."

Anger and shame burned through her veins, unable to find a good resort to that and even if she did, there was nothing she could do.

"Well, she's not wrong." Rumi muttered to herself, finding herself agreeing with the redhead's words, though she was the only one who did.

The people of Earth 727 looked on with extreme awkwardness, not sure what to say or even do. While on one hand, Xero wasn't the type of person the pro heroes could allow to run around freely but then again, he was NOT from their world. Not to mention all the laws based around Quirks and their usage, don't apply to Xero, since he technically doesn't have one.

Not to mention, he clearly has some powerful backers like SHEILD sanctioning his killings and the fact he's trying to stop the end of the world, makes things a whole lot more complicated. The fact it's some sort of Nazi zombie cult thing only makes it worse, as they have no idea what is going on here and thus, really can't pass judgement on the situation.

Yet.

That's why this Curator brought them here, to warn them of the coming danger and to provide them a useful insight to their new "ally". Along with this new enemy, one who has been made out to be the very incarnation of pure evil.

Just who or what has this Cult plan to do and why?

What was the point of all this pain, death and suffering?! What was the point of it all?! To many students and pro-heroes, it all seemed like nothing more then just mindless violence and chaos for the sake of chaos itself.

No one, not even Nezu's big brain could wrap his mind around the mindset of such madman.

"But just because i don't understand the means behind their motivation, that does not mean we cannot learn about them."

Even if the only way to learn about the Cult, was to basically snoop through young Mazoku's past and learn about them from that. He just hoped that would be enough to save their world from this new threat.

"Eddie, can i eat her? Please, she's so damn annoying."

"Sorry V but no. As much as i'd like that, we can't eat her. That stir up far too much heat for us to deal with."

"Pussy."

Despite the insult, the reporter cracked a smile at his partner's response. Venom might be annoying too at times but damn was he happy he had the symbiote with him. Never a dull moment when he's around.

"Reiss."

"Yes captain?"

Historia instinctively straighten her back up, as her captain's cold, stone grey eyes bore into her bright blue ones for a couple of seconds before he finally spoke, "Good job."

Historia couldn't stop herself from smiling at that, Levi rarely gave out compliments and words like "good job" as he expected nothing but the best from his team. Which is true, as the Levi Squad is one of the best teams SHEILD has to offer and was often referred as the pointy tip of the spear for the spy organization.

The point was that to get her captain to compliment you, you know you did something right.

"Geez Toria, you keep blowing up before the rest of us can, quite hogging all the anger for yourself and share some with the rest of us."

Historia blushed, as the 104th laughed at Reiner's joke.

"You can say what you will about that old Reeps but he's been through hell and back." Boomstick spoke, "What would be considered a nightmare to everyone else, that's his ever day and it's made him stronger for it. There is no true way to tell the extent of the damage done to his mind, body and spirit have been broken down and rebuild back up again and again. But if there is one thing for is for certain though. If you try to fuck with those he cares for, you are D-E-A-D FUCKED. Xero may have survived the Grand Order but the person who walked out of Chaldea was not the same one that entered it for a 'Summer gig.' Yeah, most summer gigs don't usually end up with you saving the world several times over."

"True enough Boomstick and the form Xero was using to destroy the Dream Arc, is one of his abilities as a Master, The Class Cards."

"One of the best magic spells of all time and a hell of useful. Seeing as he has a ton of magical power, he knows quite a lot of spells so lets run through his main ones, the ones he use most of the time and unique ones."

"Some of this abilities are pretty standard for Magus but many are unique, like the Class Cards, Reinforcement, his Force States, the Arcane Arts and his three unique passive abilities he got from his trails of magic."

"But old Xero has an advantage over Magus, as the Arcane Arts had been lost for a very long time and he has access to the family Grimoire, allowing him to bypass many common restrictions modern day Magus have. Using that book, he not only has access to the family history but all the family magecraft they have created over the years."

"But for some of Xero's more unique magic we'll start with the most broken power ever, Reinforcement."

"WHAT THE HELL IS SO DANGEROUS ABOUT REINFORCEMENT?! THAT FORCE STATE SHIT SOUNDS A HELL OF A LOT MORE DANGEROUS!"

Gudako sighed, oh how she pitted the poor fools who did not understand the epic power of Reinforcement. It didn't matter how strong he can make his bombs, it wouldn't be enough to break through her Oni-chan's Reinforcement.

"WHAT'D YOU JUST SAY?! I'LL KILL YOU RED BUT NOT BEFORE I BLOW THAT STREAKED BASTARD UP FIRST!"

Oops, did she say that out loud?

"Ha!" Rumi barked out a loud, belly laugh with an excited grin, "Get in line kind, i'm fighting him first and i for one, want to see how strong this Reinforcement of his is."

"Reinforcement? Isn't that the same spell he casted on my clothes to ensure Loki's men couldn't hurt me?" Barton asked, as Natasha nodded.

"It is, as did the same for mine. Made it a hell of a lot easier to fight against them."

"Seriously, i still have to thank him for that." Remy mused to himself with a smile, "Saved my ass more times than i can count."

"Same here."

The rest of the 104 agreed, having their uniforms reinforced before the actual war begin by their boss. With everything that was happening, they didn't get a chance to thank him.

"As it states in the TYPE-MOON page, the skill Reinforcement is the most difficult Magecraft with the purpose of pushing a basis to the utmost limit. It is the foundation of all Magecraft that enhance the existence of the target by pouring Magical Energy, but as no clear expression of how much it can be enhanced is defined, almighty reinforcements are rare. It is the same as adding something to an object that is already complete, in case of failure the target will receive it as a poison. Success requires a good grasp of the inner structure to fill openings with Magical Energy. Reinforcing the purpose of existence would be increasing the sharpness of a knife, the nourishment of food, or in the case of a living creature, physical strength and durability. It is impossible to reinforce something vague. As living things will resist invasion of Magical Energy, reinforcing someone else is the hardest. In Xero's case, he can use this skill to make himself and any weapon or item he is holding pretty much invincible, thanks to him summoning Archer Emiya and learning more of its secrets in greater depth. Out of all his skills, Xero has used this one the most by far, aside from conjuring shields and throwing lightning bolts around. It is one of his most invaluable skills and has helped him survive the Grand Order."

"That's so cool! It sounds a lot like you're harden Kirishima!"

Izuku fanboyed out, eyes a glow with excitement, as the redhead boy sighed but nodded, "Yeah but man, Lord Mazoku's Reinforcement sounds like a better version of my quirk. I can only make my body harder, nothing else."

"You got that right Wiz, Xero once used an Reinforcement times thirty to tank a GODDAMN NUKE BOMB! A FUCKING NUKE WIZ! AND HE JUST WALKS AWAY LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED! IT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN AIM DIRECTLY AT HIS FACE!"

"WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Tony looked ready to have a heart attack, gripping his chest, as Pepper looked ready to do the same. Everyone from Earth and Earth 727 had their eyes widen in shock at this piece of information, unable to believe what they were hearing, how was that possible?!

"Huh? I don't get it, explain please, what's a nuke?" Sun asked, as he and the rest of the Remnant's people had no idea what a Nuke was.

"Something you don't want aimed at you. Ever. Quite frankly, if anyone a Nuke to Mistral, the entire continent of Anima would be completely wiped off the map." Fury's answer left the people of Remnant in shock and horror, as they fall silent, their minds unwillingly conjuring the image. Anima was the largest mass of land in all of Remnant, so to hear that this Nuke thingy could wipe it completely off the map was...terrifying, to say the least. Not even all four Maidens possessed the sheer destructive capabilities.

"Can you do that Gudako?" Yang asked, as the redhead nodded.

"I can. Oni-chan basically forced me to learn it before i was allowed to do any missions with him and to be completely fair, it has saved my hot ass more times than i can count. I can't regenerate or heal up wounds on command like Oni-chan can, but my healing magic is superior to his own and even Asia's Twilight Healing for the moment."

"For the moment?" Hawks raised an eyebrow, as Gudako waved a hand to an embarrassed, blushing blonde.

"Like many things, magic and Sacred Gears get better as you use them. It's easier to level up when you're a novice and Asia has been working herself to the bone as of late, making her Twilight Healing stronger and stronger with every new patient healed."

"L-lady Gudako, i'm not that goo-"

"Take the compliment or I'll tell Oni-chan how you're refusing to see your own self-worth again."

That shut her up, as her blush darkened, duking her head in sheer embarrassment.

"Oh, another healer? Now that's a rare thing." Recovery Girl smiled at this tab bit of information, as Edge Shot spoke.

"Scared Gears? What are they? Some type of item or something?"

"Scared Gears are also known as God's Artifacts, are items with powerful abilities bestowed upon humans by God of the Bible. The original God of the Bible created the Sacred Gears as part of his system to enact miracles on Earth. Many have been lost over the centuries and Asia is one of the few left that actually obtained one, even if it is a rare healing gear. The Church Asia was a part of, upon realizing this, attempted to rip the Gear out of her and had it not been for Oni-chan, she would have died."

"D-died?"

The students of both Earth 727 and Remnant all looked shocked at this part, as Sun gasped his head with his hands,"You mean those psycho's were going to kill her, for some stupid healing item? If they raised her, couldn't they have just taken it without hurting her?!"

"Not possible, as the Scared Gear is actually imbedded into the User's bodies and the strain of removing it, is too much for the User to bear and death is the ultimate result."

"Just like the Maiden's power." Ozpin whispered to himself, as Qrow thought the same, taking his flask out and taking a long swing of it. Levi looked like he needed a drink himself, as Erwin looked inquisitive, deep in thought as he had stayed silent for a while now, simple taking all the information in like a sponge.

"That's horrible! Why would anyone do that?!"

Gudako shook her head, as Levi gave a baleful glare towards the gravity Quirk girl, "Because that's human nature, to take what they do not have by force if necessary and sometimes people do it just because they are simply that cruel. Blondie was about as loyal as you can get, willingly to believe any lie they fed her and they still turn on her anyway, just because she had a unique power they didn't and wanted it for themselves. Even if is just healing, having a powerful healer can make all the difference in the world."

Uraraka wilted under the glare, as Hado looked at the blushing blonde with a look of someone seeing something particular interesting, "Is it true? You have a healing power? Oh my god that is so rare and cool. What can you heal, can you hear anything like humans, animals, bugs or..."

Asia was so subjected to the inquisitive nature of Nejire Hado, with her bright smile and quick talking, barely letting the blonde get a word in, as the blue haired girl spoke a million miles a minute, while getting right up in her face, much to the small blonde's embarrassment. While she used to be thanked by the grateful families, friends and lovers of the people she healed, some even calling her an angel by them, she wasn't used to someone actually questioning her on her healing abilities or what she could heal.

Even if Xero-sama told her to be wary of what kind of secrets of her Sacred Gear she gave away, keeping it secret in general was often the best way to handle it.

A power, a HEALING power, is often more sought out then anything, even more then his own power. After all, it was easy to kill but to heal? To mend life threatening wounds in just a few seconds, to fix broken bones that would take months to heal could be fixed in an instant and even the power to heal the world's deadliest diseases would have people come for her in droves.

It was an uncomfortable thought but she would not divert from the path she had chosen and regardless of the risks, Asia would never stop helping those who needed it.

It was her calling in life.

As this happened, Iida looked at Asia with a stoic but thoughtful look on his face, thinking of his badly hurt brother and how the doctors couldn't do anymore to help his heroic brother.

"Not only can Xero reinforce his own body and clothes, he can reinforce anything he can get his hands on. He once reinforced a thin stick to block a claymore strike."

The screen changed to show a much younger Xero, using a thin stick like a sword, using both hands to block a massive great sword blade from slicing in half, much to the other man's shock.

"...reinforce...items."

Izuku's pen raced across his notebook, as he eagerly took notes, making Gudako smile in bemusement. Normally, this kind of behavior would have been met with hostile force and a bloody beat down but seeing as the pure green bean wasn't doing this out of some malice intent but pure, genuine interest in Xero and their magical abilities she let it go.

Oni-chan would have done the same as her.

"Moving on, one of Xero's most used abilities is his Arcane Arts. These Arts were developed during the golden age of Magic, the time of the first Magus kingdom of Avalon. The Arts teach a Magus how to use their magic through their strength, how to use their mana to empower their physical abilities to super human levels. The Arts funnel their magic throughout the entire body, namely through their magic circuits to amplify their bodies and thanks to all the training Xero underwent with his teacher, it makes him a virtual juggernaut on the battle field."

"Hey, Izuku was it?"

Midoriya blinked as he felt a tap on his shoulder and looked up to see Irina smiling at him, "If your taking notes, do you mind if i borrow some of them? I know Xero-sensei is supposed to be teaching me the Arcane Arts, but it would really be helpful to have some notes to help me better understand it."

"Oh! O-of course, i'd be happy to help you...Irina, right?"

"Irina Shidou."

The two chattered quietly, as a certain gravity girl looked at the screen with...jealousy?

Why?

Why did she feel jealousy?

Ochako and slapped her pinkish cheeks. No, now was not the time to be jealous, Deku was just begin his usual kind, helpful self. Nothing more.

Right?

"What Wiz means, is that Xero uses his magic to enhance himself to the point he can do crazy shit. Like smashing massive boulders to fine dust, deliver bone shattering punch's and was able to take on Loki head on! The god may not look like it but he is as strong as Thor and have you seen the muscles on that guy?! It's fucking insane!"

"But what Xero used these Arcane Arts to create his elemental Force States. Not only does they increase his magical power, it gives his spells an extra amount of 'OPM' so to speak. It also drastically enhances the user's physical prowess, speed and considerably boosts their Magic Power, which becomes visible depending on which Force State he is using. The weakest Force State Xero has by far, is Wind Force State."

WIND FORCE STATE

-Creates A Wind Vortex Around His Body

-Gives Him Power Of Flight

-Wind Blade

-Splicing Winds

-Strike Air

-Air Manipulation

-Fog

-Wind Tunnel Fist

-Compressed Air Strikes

-Can Create Tornadoes

-Can Create Explosions

-Can Siphon Oxygen Out Of The Air

"...I'm sorry, what was that last one?"

Present Mic spoke, eyes now fully glued to the screen, trying to make sure he didn't miss read what he just read. Everyone was also wondering the same thing, all unable to believe that this was Xero's weakest Force State.

"Despite it being the weakest of his Force States, it's one of his most versatile and honestly, it's mostly used for long range attacks. Not very good for up close combat. Xero can easily use and manipulate the wind on command to do a hell of a lot of damage. The Vortex that appears around his body acts like a shield, preventing anything from reaching Xero and harmless swatting it away with him having to actually do anything. Not to mention, with some use from his gravity magic making his body weightless, Xero can easily fly around with ease. Not to mention his signature wind blade is so powerful, it not only appears viable, it cracks the sounds barrier when he unleashes, cutting through ANYTHING, even cutting mountains in half with a single swipe of its blade."

The screen showed the scene during the first battle of the Dead War, when Xero was facing off against Zed and his undead horde, only showing the aftermath of his Wind Blade slicing past the mountain tops...and the peaks sliding off, like they were butter cut by a clean knife in a prefect form of cutting.

"Holy shit."

Was the general thought of everyone's minds.

"This isn't good, that damned Reaper has far more power than Fall could even image." Adam was many things but foolish was not one of them and the more he watched this, the more he realized just how badly outmatched he truly was. Xero Mazoku, leader of the Avengers, Strongest Magus in the world and the legendary Grimm Reaper would easily plow through his White Fang with little to no effort on his part. Spying the woman's facial and body language told him everything he needed to know:

She couldn't beat him, it be a one sided fight, a one sided massacre truthful.

Discrediting and turning his own people against him or his Servants was a clear no go, easily recognizing the same loyalty his own people showed him. That wasn't even including what those loyal to him could do, not to mention those two Maidens on his side. Fall only had HALF the power of a Maiden and those two had the FULL Maiden's power.

If he couldn't best Cinder while she had half the Maiden's power...as much as it galled and shot his pride, he wouldn't stand a chance against the Mazoku or his allies.

"The best i can do for now, is lay low, gather more allies and perhaps go along with Fall's plans. If she really is working for this so called 'Queen of Grimm' then maybe that can tip the scales in our favor."

At the very least, he can oust Sienna from her position and take over the White Fang in her stead.

"Plus Xero can shoot compressed air attacks that can tear through pretty much anything and everything in it's path."

"For wind pressure to even bend metal, it needs to be about 60mph to cause actually damage and seeing how easily Xero's Wind Blade cut through the mountains, that wind pressure would not only be in a narrow stream motion, but it would also have to be a few thousand PSI or more for it to cut rock and with one swing, Xero's Wind Blade sliced THREE mountain tops. THREE!" Wiz yelled the last part, holding up three fingers.

"Fuck, i certainly don't want to be hit with that!" Boomstick spoke with wide eyes.

Some winced, some awed and others felt sweat pour down their heads, but everyone stayed quiet, silently waiting for more information.

"While in this form, Xero has two finishing moves. The Splicing Winds, which does exactly as it sounds. It splices things into a million pieces at a rapid pace that even the likes of Wolverine's healing would have a difficult time keeping up."

"This was proven, when he took on and killed the deadly, blood thirsty Symbiote, Carnage."

The scene changed again to show Xero, in Wind Force State battling an red version of Venom, in a seemly abandoned train station. The creature let out a roar, as it tried to strike at Xero, only for his tendrils to be torn apart upon close contact with Xero's wind covered body. Where's his body was covered in lighting when he is in Lighting Force State, Xero's body was covered by viable wind, as it lifted him off the ground lightly and his hair was slightly lifted up by said wind.

"OH NO, THAT'S A RED ONE!" Eddie suddenly yelled, his face shifting to Venom before the former reporter slapped a hand over his mouth in shock. This got many looked at the brown haired man weirdly, while a few looked worried, knowing about Venom and knew it took a lot to get that kind of reaction out of the black Symbiote.

"Venom...what do you mean by 'oh no' and don't lie to me."

Eddie paled a little, Tony had THAT look on his face, one that spoke he wanted answers about his son and he wasn't taking no for an answer. There were just some things he couldn't let go and if that thing involved his son being in danger in anyway, Tony would become like a blood hound.

Never stopping, unable to shake and he will not stop till he gets that bone so to speak.

"Yeah, well we um-"

"E boy, I like you. You're a good reporter and my son trusts you for reasons i honestly don't understand, cause i personally don't like reporters but i can tell your no Rita Skeeter. But I'm done with the secrets, so you might as well go ahead and tell me, WHAT is so bad about a RED Symbiote? Is it more dangerous than Venom? Crazier? Or like Riot and Drake?"

Eddie sighed and nodded, as Venom begin to speak to him inside his head, which he repeated, "Unlike Venom, Carnage is more powerful, brutal and lethal than Venom. Truth be told, Cranage is a sort of offspring of Venom, when i was visiting that insane criminal Cletus Kasady, you heard of him?"

"Wasn't he the guy who killed over eleven people?" Jessica asked, as Eddie nodded.

"Convicted killer actually. Guy liked to brag he killed half a dozen people, but they could only get him on eleven murders. Not enough evidence and what not. Anyway, when i went to interview him in Rykers island, the bastard was able to bite me hard enough for me to bleed. In doing so, he was able to get a piece of Venom as well and... well, I won't go into details but that mass outbreak at Ryker's a year ago, that was him and Carnage making their debut. He was coming for us, but Zee found him first and dealt with him before we could even meet the guy face to face."

"I remember reading about him." Armin spoke suddenly, hitting his fist against his open palm, "SHEILD had him on the watchlist of dangerous criminals that were more unstable than most criminals. Mostly due to his violent and wild killing streak."

"We were planning to take him out ourselves but then the police caught and he was sentenced to life in prison without a chance of release, so i decide to just let the bastard rot."

Fury nodded at Armin's words, now realizing he probably should have had the bastard killed off before he became Carnage and started rampaging through New York City, killing over fifty people in one night. Had Xero not killed him, then Carnage and Cletus would have been dealt with by his people by now. That is yet another thing, Fury would have to thank the Mazoku for. Let it be known, Fury made sure his appreciate was known but only when it was earned.

Taking out that sadistic mass killer certainly fit the bill.

"Umm, excuse me but who's-"

"That doesn't explain why Venom sounded so worried." Tony cut off the gravity user, eyes firmly on Eddie's sweating (Or was that Venom?) body, "Is there a difference between colors? Does it mean something like some sort of level of badness or power output?"

"Yeah okay. You know how Venom's kind latches into a host to survive, offering their hosts super human strength and abilities in exchange for a new home? Well, unlike us, Carnage wasn't just bond to the body, he was FUELED by that psycho's blood, making him stronger then Venom and much more durable to our weakness. So, if it were literally anyone else without the same shields as Zee, they would have been torn to pieces. I don't even aura could hold up long against that monster and that's not even including his regeneration. It-"

"Show me." Tony suddenly demanded, as he glared up at the ceiling, "BB! I know you can hear me, show me the fight between my son and Carnage!"

"Are you sure Starky?~ If you do this, then i'm afraid quite a few people who want to fight my dear senpai will lose their spines, once they see what he can do in his WEAKEST Force State."

Some glared at the ceiling, at BB's word implying, Adam and Cinder among those glaring death, as they felt like that insult was aimed at them personally. Not that it mattered, as Tony just glared harder, "I don't care, it be great if these idiots realized it's a dumbass idea to fight my kid, as that would have the full wrath of the Avengers and SHEILD coming down on their asses. I have been more then patient with you but i'm done with the secretive bullshit! If these is the only way I'm going to learn about my son, then i want to see EVERY part of it. Starting with why i wasn't told my son crossed paths with some serial killer that had Venom's evil son or whatever the hell it is."

"That is fine but only AFTER we are done with this segment of the video, acceptable?"

Tony grunted but nodded, not happy but willing to accept it.

"Tones..."

"Not now Rhodey."

The dark skinned nodded, knowing his friend was feeling frustrated and he didn't blame him.

"But one of his deadliest move in this form is the ability to siphon the oxygen out of the air."

"No really! This guy can target specific sections or arena's he targets and use his magic to steal air! Fuck, no wonder everyone in the underworld is terrified of this guy, he doesn't even need to lift a finger to take them out and if he keeps it up long enough, they die like they were in space."

"And this is considered his weakest Force State."

Out of all the heroes that felt fear of this ability, none were more fearful then the number 2 hero. Why?

Fire needed air to actually exist.

As someone who relied heavily on his fire Quirk, his family life and career as a hero have been built up around surpassing All Might, it was a slap in the face to know that this sort of power existed. Even if it was from another world, to know Xero, a QUIRKLESS person had the power to defeat him, not in a contest of strength or even power but just one spell that could take him down.

It wasn't just the fact as a human, he needed air namely oxygen to survive but air is needed for fire to even be lite. His power was fire itself, so to hear someone can easily take that away was...jarring to say the least.

Endeavor has also been confident in his abilities and while he always came short when it came to facing All Might, it was simply due to the man's overwhelming...niceness. All Might didn't put up an act, he didn't need some sort of heroic script. What you see is what you get you kinda thing, All Might's intentions were just that simply pure and genuine.

He really, truly believed in what he was doing and did not care for statues or strength.

Enji would admit, he cared about his image and knew that what happened with his family, what he did to his youngest son was not exactly heroic. In the deepest, darkest depths of his heart, the number 2 hero knew what he did to Shoto was wrong.

Beyond wrong and honestly, it could be considered domestic abuse.

Even if Enji wanted his son to carry on his ambitious, the sole reason he married Rei, as time went on another tiny part of him locked away deeply in his heart, feared for his son's life. Even now, while he wouldn't change what he did, simply because his Shoto would need that strength he gained at a young age. He needed his son to master both fire and ice, not only to surpass All Might but to help him better fight off this new evil that threaten their world.

"Our world..."

It remind him that he was no longer on HIS Earth, Earth version 727.

Part of him wanted to blame Mazoku, blame him for roping his world into his own world's problems and while Enji was many things, petty wasn't one of them. While he was indeed angry at how easily Apathy, Freida beat him and the other heroes, it did force him to acknowledge just how dangerous their new enemy truly is.

"While it is good to know we have allies in another world, the weakest Force State of Mazoku's is easily pro-hero martial."

There was no denying it, if a person had some sort of wind type Quirk that could grow and develop anywhere near Mazoku's level of strength, they could easily rank in the top twenty pro-heroes, maybe even the top ten. He idly wondered if Mazoku or that redheaded one would be willingly to give his son a few pointers in using his power, he saw Ice Force State on the list, so Enji rightfully guessed that the teen could use ice magic.

But could Mazoku even help, seeing as magic was fundamentally different from Quirks and even then, his son just only recently started using his left side. If the boy wasn't willingly to learn from him, then maybe he could see Shoto at least learning how to use fire from someone else.

It galled at his pride, as both a hero, fire user and father but after experiencing a one-sided beatdown, it made Enji realize just how bad he was to his family.

His son wouldn't willingly learn from him, that he could admit was fair due to the way he treated him but that didn't mean Shoto could go on using half his strength. That was no longer an option and if hell came to their world, he would make sure Shoto had every tool at his disposal to survive and win.

"Not to mention, through his extensive knowledge of Alchemy, Xero can not only use his wind and fire magecraft to create tornadoes by shifting warm, but humid air also (Wind) with cold dry air with his ice spells and mashing them together to create a alchemical reaction that can create these natural disasters, he can-"

"XERO CAN MAKE BIG BOOMS!"

"WHAT? /WHAT?!"

Nora and Bakugo yelled in union, one in excitement and the other in annoyance. One, where' he made said annoyance, "BULLSHIT! HOW THE HELL DOES HE DO THAT?!"

"Yes, Boomstick, Xero can make big booms. Once again, using his knowledge of the alchemical arts to create a chain reaction with his wind. What many don't realize is that an explosion is a rapid expansion of gases. Many explosions occur when gases are exposed to a source of heat- such as fire, sparks, even static electricity an increase in pressure. Explosions can also be caused by chemical reactions."

"Given old Reeps mastery over not just wind but lighting itself, creating explosions as a result. It should be noted that Xero can also use fire magic as well, so depending on what kind of catalyst he uses, the efforts can vary reactions. He's got a big brain that can make his equally big explosions and it really BLOWS his enemies away!"

Only Mirio, Tony and Yang laughed at Boomstick's terrible pun, as everyone else groaned while Bakugo sat down in his seat, sneering in anger at the "Black haired bastard stealing his thing."

Namely his bombing abilities.

"Oh yeah, i remember Xero-sama doing that to me while we we're fighting. Man, those things hurt like hell." Ursula offhandedly said, mostly to herself as she rubbed her face, fully remembering the force behind those explosions and how her mate used them (Aside from the Voice) to knock her out of the sky during their fight.

"Mutter, mutter, mutter, using different wind temperatures to change the effects, mutter, mutter, mutter..." Annnnndddddd the mumbling train was once again in full steam mood, much to the amusement of his classmates.

"The Mazoku clan has been known for many things but one constant of their clan is their mastery over the elements and using it mostly for combat oriented magecraft, much more different from the new age magecraft."

"Which makes sense, as the clan is much more different from other Magus family lines. As opposed to the modern-day prim and proper Magus, Xero's clan focuses on more cool things, realistic things since one of their first founders was a warrior. One of those things is...how to kick the ever-living shit out of people!" Boomstick laughed, as many of the watchers laughed along with the man's joke.

Wiz shook his head at his co-host, before he spoke, "While that is very true, don't forgot, Xero had to fight in what is basically a war across time itself, so naturally he learned a different style of magic as opposed to modern day magecraft. Fighting for his life damn near every day, struggling just to stay alive during his first years in Chaldea, Xero had to go beyond the norm and learn the old ways of magic to survive. Thankful he had people who were more than willingly to teach him how to do it. We've seen what he can do in Wind Force State, let's move onto his second Force State, Ice."

Shoto leaned forward, more than a little eager to see what he could learn from Lord Mazoku's ice magic and seeing if he couldn't possible apply some of the moves, he sees to his own power. That's what they were here for after all, to learn. Not just about their enemy but to see moves and abilities that they could use to better themselves. Seeing as he mostly overpowered his foes through sheer brute force with his own ice, Shoto wondered how different Xero's style was compared to his own.

Much to his amusement, he noted how Midoriya leaned forward too, a notebook in hand and the half hot, half ice user mentally noted that he could ask the green haired boy for notes on Lord Mazoku's ice spells.

He had a feeling the green bean would be more than happy to help; he was that kind of person.

"And the one who opened my eyes to the truth."

Idly Shoto looked to his left hand, once again being reminded of his inner confusion and turmoil about what his left side meant to him. He still wasn't sure but he accepted that he would need to learn how to use his fire.

But he also needed to improve his ice as well and this would be a prime opportunity.

ICE FORCE STATE

-Ice Manipulation

-Ice Spears

-Ice Fists

-Ice Armor

-Ice Spikes

-Ice Construction

-Ice Tundra

-Chill

-Frost Bite

-Shard Rain

-Blizzard Storm

-Ice Age

"Moving on, if Wind Force State is meant for long ranged attacks, then Ice Force State is the definition of up close and personal."

Wiz spoke, as the screen showed Xero fighting a good number of thugs, purple ice covering his fist as he stuck blow after blow, allowing Boomstick to speak, "Now this is my kind of magic. While using this Force State's power, Xero can become a walking tank. Wind is for offense, while ice is for of defense and knocking the ever-living shit out of people using his signature move in this Force State, Ice Fists. Seriously, one well-placed punch can tear a person's fricking jaw rip off!"

The screen then showed one thug sneaking up behind Xero, attempting to strike him in the back of the head, only for him to duck and throw a haymaker to the guy's jaw, as the screen went into slow motion, showing the purple ice slowly crawl up from his knuckles just before contact and with a powerful "BANG" punched with enough force to knock the man's lower jaw right off his face.

"Holy shit!" Denki cried out in shock, as he looked at Shoto, "Hey Todoroki, no offense but can you actually do something like that? Cause if you can, it be pretty terrifying."

"...No. No, i don't think i can." The half hot, half cold boy looked down at his right hand, clenching his fist, wondering if he could actually do that. Not create a killing more but rather, create Ice Armor around his body to better help protect himself. Did Lord Mazoku's ice freeze his body like his own ice did or was there some sort of rune thing that kept his body from getting frost bite. Heck, did his lighting work the same way Kaminari's in basically turning him stupid for a while or did he remain the same when using it?

Was it even possible for them to learn and apply it to their own powers?

COULD it be done?

"Holy cow! Renny, Renny! Did you see that?! Big boss ice power is so cool! Hey Weiss, can you do that?"

Weiss blinked, as her brows furrowed at the question, "No i can't. Why would you ask that?"

"Because you're the Ice Queen."

"You dolt!"

As Weiss begin to yell at Nora, Yang was 'Humming' rubbing her chin with an inquisitive look on her face,"I wonder just how strong that armor of his is. Could i break it?"

"Yaaaaannnnnnnggggggggg! Don't hurt our new cousin!" Ruby whined, as her older sister brushed her worries off.

"I won't sis...So long as his armor lives up to all the hype about it."

"Yang!"

As this happened, Summer and Qrow watched on as Ruby beat her small fists against her 'dumb, meanie sister' with smiles on their faces. It was good to see the two laughing and joking around again, after getting a deafening number of bombshells dropped on them in the past few hours, laughter is most certainly needed. Even with his bitch of a sister still here, his mood wasn't dampened as it usual was, when they were in the same arena.

Hell, not even the Schnee (He means Winter) could bring his mood down.

"It's good to see them laughing again."

"Yes, it is." Summer smiled and laughed to herself, getting Qrow to raise an eyebrow at her, "It's nothing Qrow, just for the first time in a while, i actually feel like we're fighting for a real future. One free from Salem and even though we have a new enemy, a new war on the horizon i feel hopeful for the future. I feel like we have an actual chance for victory. I guess, just seeing all of Xero's abilities and feats makes me feel like our chances of defeating Salem to rise even more. Heck, we haven't even finished and comparing Xero to Salem...she's honestly not all that impressive, you know what i mean?"

"Yeah, i think i do. Sure, Salem is immortal but that's also made her arrogant and lazy, just like the kid pointed out. Looking at it in another way, if Salem is so powerful, then why hasn't she conquered all of Remnant yet? Why is she still in hiding if she is oh so powerful and invincible? Hell, why doesn't she just send every single Grimm in creation to tear the four kingdoms' down yet?"

"And why does her biggest accomplishment seemed to be a long, stream of failures!" Summer and Qrow laughed, now louder at the realization of how much they missed over their fear of Salem. Before, it seemed like Salem was an unconquerable tower, a mountain they had no hope of climbing and reaching the top of it.

But now?

Now that they know just how powerful and skilled Xero and his allies were, it seemed like the threat of Salem wasn't that big of a threat at all! Why the hell were the ever afraid of miss I Failed To Conquer Remnant No Matter How Much I Try, I Am A Big Fat Failure!

Ha!

Though not everyone was happy to hear this, as Cinder gritted her teeth, seething in jealousy at the boy not only having abilities beyond what she could have imagined, his powers were inspiring others! She could hear Barnwen and Rose mocking her mistress, no longer feeling that familiar fear that Salem's name usually invoked.

Now it was met with mockery and if they mocked Salem, they were indirectly mocking HER, Cinder Fall, as well!

But the worst part was...she could do nothing!

Nothing at all!

Not only did many here easily overpower her, seeing as she only had HALF the Maiden's power, it wouldn't be enough to beat someone like that fool Ozpin. But even then, in order to fight monsters like Mazoku, she would need more than just the Fall Maiden's power but the only other Maiden power she had a chance at getting were Spring's, seeing as Summer and Winter were out of her reach at the moment.

It would be a simple manner of planning.

"Fucking hell, i remember when the kid hit me with one of those punches. If it wasn't for my metal bones, i'm certain he'd blown my jaw right off." Logan rubbed his lower jaw, feeling phantom pains of his little sparing with Xero. That punch was no joke and not for the first time, he was thankful for his adamantium skeleton.

"I know what you mean." Ursula felt her own phantom pains as her mind wondered back to the first time, she met her mate and fought him. Unlike most, she got the blunt force of the full power of Xero-sama's Ice Force State and lived to tell the tale. As a dragon, her skin, her hide was much thicker than most living creatures on Earth and was naturally resistant to the elements, be it heat or cold.

But she actually felt the chill, when she fought her mate and got her ass handed to her in a similar manner, when her elder sister got serious and fought for real. Not enough to kill but enough to teach her a harsh lesson in why SHE, Ember was the Red Dragon Queen, and she wasn't.

"Is it really that strong?" Laura asked, as Logan gave his daughter/clone a stern look.

"Trust me kiddo, fighting Xero in Ice Force State head on is a death sentence. Only reason i'm still alive is because he wasn't looking to kill me. I honestly believe if he froze me, i would actually die from it and i don't want to find out if he could do it. Take my word for it."

Laura nodded, deciding it would be better not to tempt fate and just roll with it.

"Think boss's ice could kill those Grimm creatures?" Eren wondered out loud, as Armin put a chin to his hand.

"Maybe. Even soulless, those creatures of Grimm are just basically wild animals. They live, breath and-"

"Bleed like anything else." Levi cut off Armin, getting the rest of his squad's attention, "If it can bleed, it can die just like anything else. That Grimm witch might be immortal but her followers aren't. Like Alert said, Grimm are basically animals and while they can be killed, don't get arrogant. Arrogance can get you killed faster than anything else, be smart and stay light on your feet and you'll be fine."

"Understood sir!" The soldiers saluted their captain, as Hange 'hummed' to herself, as she wrote in her own notebook, catching Erwin's attention.

"What are you thinking Hange?"

"If what Professor Ozpin told us is true, then Salem's HQ is in a land completely devoid of life. That last move, this Ice Age spell, i'm wondering just how power Xero-chan can make it and how Salem's land and her Grimm would handle a second ice age."

Erwin quickly caught onto what the brown-haired woman was saying and nodded in agreement, "I see. Well, worse comes to worse, we can ask Xero if he could use that move as a sort of staging attack, creating us a path forward towards Evernight castle."

"But we have to see just how much power he can unleash first."

The two commanders nodded at the director of SHEILD, who was also wondering just how much power Mazoku could unleash upon the Grimm when their invasion of the Land of Darkness begin. Fury wasn't stupid, like Ozpin, the director of SHEILD knew Salem wouldn't allow someone like the Avengers and the Magus to run around.

Not when they could prove a threat to her.

Fury knew Mazoku wouldn't side with her and when this information got out, Salem would be coming for them full throttle and everything she had. So, rather than wait to see what would happen, Fury and the world leaders decide it would be better to attack HER first with support of all the world's military powers. The dark-skinned man had yet to actually discuss the plan with the Avengers and seeing if he couldn't get help from the Magus by talking to Father Vincent about it but seeing as she is hellbent on destroying the world, he had a feeling they'd be more than happy to help put an end to the Grimm witch.

For good.

Along with the Grimm spawning pools and all her followers.

Mazoku's father might not like the idea of using his son as some sort of weapon against the Grimm, it wouldn't be like they were lying to him. Far from it, Mazoku would probably demand he'd be a part of the Vanguard in the assault to ending Salem.

But given all that his son has gone through...Stark would do everything in his power to ensure neither his son nor daughter, would ever be used by anyone ever again. Not that he could blame them, as humanity handling Avenger Xero was just wrong.

No ifs or buts about it.

That was a betrayal of the highest order and the fact Mazoku was willing to trust him as much as he was now, was nothing short of a miracle.

"Then again, we can always just aim several nukes to the Land of Darkness, once we find it and just bomb then till it's just Salem and have one of the Magus do their thing in defeating her."

Yeah, if nothing else, bombing the ever-living shit out of it was an appealing option.

Soon all the conversations all around them died down, as the screen started up once again.

"Mr. Branwen."

Or would have, had Medea not suddenly appeared with that mysterious smile of hers on her face,"Master asked me if i could make a charm that could help your...little situation."

"Wha?!" Qrow actually choked on his drink, causing Summer and Ruby to pat his back to help him breath again, as he sucked in air, looking at the blue haired Caster in shock, "Wait. The kid actually, did it? Or, well YOU, did it? You found a way to surpass my semblance?!"

He asked hopefully, as Medea just kept her small smile.

"Not really suppress, more or less easier for you to...direct per say."

"Well what the hell are we waiting for?"

Qrow stood up, all but running towards the Caster, a look of desperate hope on his face, "Where the hell is it? What do i have to-"

"Clam down and just follow me. We'll get it all sorted out."

The duo left, leaving behind quite a few confused people, save for a few who knew of Qrow's troublesome semblance and how dangerous it is. Those that knew him best, knew that this was something Qrow would trade just about anything to have any semblance of a normal life without said semblance interfering with it.

"All though this isn't Xero's only option in this form, as he can in fact create ice construction of whatever he needs. Ice hammer, spears, swords, arrows and pretty much anything you can think of. Its not limited to weaponry either, as he can in fact create bridges, walkways, stairs and whatever he might need."

"Yeah and Xero isn't the only one to think using his ice this way, as his rival Esdeath has matched him blow for blow with her own brand of ice magic. Now, I've heard of prodigies Wiz but even you cannot deny that woman is no prodigy, she's some kind of goddamn monster!"

"That she is." Gudako sighed, fully remembering the fight between her Oni-chan and the monstrous ice Magus known as Esdeath.

"Is she really that strong?" The redhead looked at Yang with a dull look.

"Esdeath is known as the second strongest Magus of our generation and one of her spells allows her to freeze time itself. Even if it is only for a few seconds, she can still freeze time, so you tell me."

That answer was only met with silence and horrified looks from everyone at learning this new tab bit of information.

"Indeed Boomstick but Xero's Ice Force State is mainly used, so he can go full blown tank mode."

The screen changed, to show Xero again, only this time he was completely covered in thick, purple ice that encased his entire body, shaped like the knights of old armor. His arms were crossed, as he slowly made his way across the bloody battlefield, as bullets, blades, motor shots and even shrapnel couldn't even scratch it.

"But true to it's nature of going tank mode, it makes Xero very slow, much like my grandma."

"While that may be true, Xero trades speed and agility for defense and power. Just one strike from his ice fist can easily tear through just about anything. If Wind Force State is meant for long ranged attacks, Ice Force State is pure up close and personal."

"But make no mistake, Xero can still attack at long range and if Xero gets backed into a corner, he can unleash his ultimate move in this State, Ice Age. Believe me, the attack lives up to the name and if anyone remembers that old movie 'The Day After Tomorrow' then you'll have a pretty good idea just hold cold Xero can make it. Only in the movie, where's the temperatures plummet to negative 150 degrees Fahrenheit, causing people to freeze to death in the streets without warning, helicopters fall out of the sky, and a massive tidal wave engulfs New York City into a second North Pole, Xero's ultimate ice spell has been recorded to reach negative 300 degrees Fahrenheit! 300! Man and i thought Canada got cold, this gives me chills just thinking about it!"

Everyone winced at the sight of the screen changing again, to show Xero's future self-throwing his hands up in what looked like a cry of fury, as a massive sleet of ice started rushing everywhere, freezing everything indiscriminately, freezing everything it touched.

"It should be noted that after Xero defeated his future self, when he received the memories of his dark future, it wasn't just the coming conflict he gained. Xero was able to gain knowledge of all the spells and powers his future self could do. In essence, Xero basically reached into the future and pull back a book of what his full potential, just how far his magecraft could go."

"So with his real life cheat sheet in hand, it was only a matter of training himself up to handle his new found magecraft and knew exactly what to do in order to basically upgrade his magics and launch his magecraft to a whole new level of power, decades ahead of it's time. Kinda like how in 'Back To The Future' when Biff stole Doc's time machine to alter history, Avenger Xero went back in time to change the future and when his younger self proved he could do it, gave his present self the cheat sheet of a life time. Heh, guess it's true what they say, knowledge is power."

"The only difference between the two, is Xero got his back broken for his trouble, while Marty only had to run around to fix his problems. Tough break."

Gudako grimace at the not so subtle reminder of her Oni-chan getting brutalized by his future self. It wasn't hard to remember how throughly and easily all of Chaldea was beaten back by Avenger Xero's surprise attack and when they were able to regain their bearings, it was too late.

He had left and her Oni-chan had been broken in half.

Literally.

"Oh that is such bullshit!"

Well, it seems like some people didn't or rather, wouldn't understand the reasoning as to why her Oni-chan needed the knowledge to save their world from certain death, seeing as that asshole Mercury started raising a fuke,"How the hell is that fair to the rest of us?!"

Gudako just sighed, some people just never learn do they?

Back To Xero

SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, SLURP

POP

"Ahh, come on master, i know your drained but can't i have just a one more load of your delicious mana? Pretty please?~"

"Fuckkkkkkk...This is the last time i allow my libido make decisions for me. Goddess Habetrot, haven't you had enough?"

The tiniest of the Fairy Knights, now looking truly small compared to his huge cock, merely giggle at his question. The Rider was completely nude, save for the big hat resting on her cum covered body as she blushed a zonked out smile, tongue darting around his spent cock,"No, Habetrot wants her master's tasty cream. I can taste miss Morgan on your cock and i won't stop bugging you, till you give me one last load then i'll let you sleep. Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme your tasty, yummy cum master. SLURP, master i think i'm addicted to your huge cock, i've never cum so hard in any of my lives then when you speared me with your cock. Don't hesitate to use my tiny body to get off whenever you need to master, i wouldn't mind, no. I implore you to use me whenever you need to get off, anywhere, anytime. I'm a Servant after all and it's a Servant's job to please her master in any way he desires. Hmmm~ I honestly didn't see how this big cock was going to fit but you just forced the thing inside me, hehehehehe~ I don't think i've ever cum so hard in any of my lives. Please, if you ever need to get off, don't hesitate to just pick me up and rail me like your personal whore~"

Since when did this energetic, cheerful, bride loving fairy learn dirty talk and how the hell did this make his rapidly sore cock throb at hearing the pink haired fairy talk in such a manner that made his sore cock thorb in agreement.

Damnit boner not now!

Xero could have swore he'd seen little hearts in her eyes as she spoke, all but humping the air as she sucked his cock but figured he was just seeing things, as he had been fucking several women for...who the hell knew, just that it's been one, long sex marathon. If he had to take a guess, it probably been about twenty hours or so.

Maybe even longer, he really couldn't tell seeing as he's been fucking several different women all at once, all demanded their own attention and what not. But now, that long weekend scene was coming to an end.

He was in the home stretch and to cross the finish line, he had to finish on this needy fairy one last douse of cream.

Opening her mouth as wide as she could, barely getting her maw around his huge dick and didn't even get three inches in before her cheeks bulge outward, looking at him with pleading eyes for just one more load into her stuffed gullet. Thanks to her absolutely tiny body, he could still see his own semen slowly seeping out of her used pussy and ass.

Despite being tiny, she was pretty damn durable!

It goes without saying but in the past near two years, Xero has stuck his large dick into many, many things.

He's fucked woman twice his size like Raikou, Quetzalcoatl(Who by the way, nearly crushed his pelvis but totally worth it) Gorgon, Mao(Demon King Nobu) and most recently Barghest. He's fucked normal sized women like Artoria(Any of them, as he was an inch taller then the Lancers and Ruler) Medusa, Mash, Gudako Jeanne, Jalter, Musashi and Otika Alter. Hell, he's even fucked petite, small woman too.

Ones like Shuten, Ibaraki, Beni-enma, Serenity, Chiyome(Compared to his large body anyway) Ana(Medusa Lily), Saber Alter, Melusine(Just recently actually) and Ushiwakamaru.

He's even fucked males but he was never one to bottom out, as he has always topped his male lovers Arthur, D'Eon(That is when they decide to be male, as D;eon could change gender on command or whatever he wanted or they wanted), Fumma, Gao, and Astolfo in the past near two years. Goddess above, he's even fucked what could be considered the equivalent to a cyborg in the forms of Danzo and Fran. Danzo more so then Fran, as she was more of a homunculus then a cyborg but she still had some metal parts.

Where was he going with this?

SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, SLURP, SLURP

Oh right.

The point he was making, was that he had fucked A LOT of things, both men and women but up until recently he never once had someone as small as Habetrot. Hell, she was barely bigger then Fou, the size of a new born baby.

"Which kinda makes this scene a lot more hotter then should be humanly possible."

That and if he were honest with himself, Xero could have swore that Habetrot was actually Astolfo's female counterpart with the way she was so desperately to get his cum, oh sorry he meant "Mana". With the way they act, their mannerisms and the fact that both Riders were trying to suck him dry.

The only real difference is that Astolfo was a dumbass.

Anyway, Xero was the type to like tall, big woman and short, pretty men shorter then him but that doesn't mean he didn't like petite girls or the same height men either. Like Arthur and Shuetn just to name a few examples but even Xero could admit that Habetrot was something else entirely.

Ever since he lost his memories inside the nameless amnesia forest of the sixth Lostbelt and quickly regained them thanks to his mind shields, Habetrot was the first genuine friend he made with the British Lostbelt. She was funny, silly and honest in everything she did and she did it with a big smile on her face, living life to the fullest, as earnestly as she could.

Unlike the stoic Morgan, the cruel Baobhan Sith and duty bound Barghest and Melusine.

It was easier to get along with the smallest Fairy knight and it was with her help, he was able to break through the walls of the other Fairy Knights and the Fairy queen.

Which is kinda funny, seeing as said queen was currently out like a light on the lower side of the bed, sleeping like a baby after she decide to get some of her "husband's love". Which of course, is one of the reasons why he had the pink haired Rider between his legs at the moment.

"I'm a fairy that's a friend to all brides! But...one day, i'd like to be a bride myself ya know. But who would want a short, gremlin like myself to be their bride, let alone their lover? Besides, i love you and miss Morgan too much to become someone else's lover anyway. Maybe...no, never mind me master, just rambling is all."

Of course Morgan was in the arena when she heard this and seeing as it was HER that brought the tiny Fairy along to the growing orgy, Xero ended up fucking the following:

Atalanta Alter, Tamamo Cat, Tamamo(The original) Mordred, Saber Alter, Nero(Not wanting to be shown up by either versions of her love rivals even if he already married her), Nobu(Archer), Otika Alter, Jalter, Jeanne Archer(Who had fetish for her "Little brother") Morgan(Who was clearly trying to take Jalter's position as Alpha Bitch in his harem) and finally, Habetrot.

Twelve women at once.

Almost more then he could handle at once but thankfully, thanks to his huge size and the fact Morgan hadn't gotten any in a thousands years making her more sensitive and Habetrot cumming just from him sticking his dick inside her tiny pussy, helped out a lot.

It was honestly shocking he could fit the head in at all. The second his cock entered her small body, he could clearly see her stomach deforming as soon as she started riding him for all that she could it. She was by far, the tightest pussy he had ever fucked in his entire life and even though he made he cum several times, losing count at seven, she was ready and VERY much eager for more.

SLURP, SLUPR, SLURP, SLURP, SLURP

POP

Xero tightened his grip on Habetrot's hair, as she let go of his cock and moved down to his balls barely getting her mouth, making him grit his teeth feeling his last load coming.

"Goddess damnit, i swear these women are trying to suck me dry!"

"Master, i love you, i really do. So please give me some of your love." Peering down at the small fairy's big smile and blushing face, he tried to smile but all it came out was an exhausted look.

"I...i love you too, Habetrot."

The pink haired Rider all but squealed at that, as she went back to sucking on his cock with enthusiasm, after letting out a giddy smile, stroking her tiny hands on his large meat, ones that couldn't even fit around his length. While these girls(and boys) may actually kill him one day with sex, he couldn't deny that he could die happy in the arms of his loved ones. It was his religious belief, passed down by Lady Magic's twin older sisters that love should not be denied but spread as far and too many as possible.

In his family it was pretty common for members of their clan to have multiple lovers.

Not just because of their Yoma genes making them all but impossible to have one lover due to their high libido's but because they were taught to believe that love should be spread and accepted by all, not just to an individual. The heart wants what the heart wants, so why make it more complicated then necessary?

Love is love and everyone needs love, even if they don't want to admit.

"I just hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass."

Like Jack getting the wrong idea and wanting to get a taste of her "mommy's love" too. While she had the body of a preteen(Namely her lower body) with the mind of a five year old, she was incredibly observant and clever to a certain extent. If he wasn't careful, things could go from bad to worse as it wouldn't just stop at Jack. Chances are that sweet little Abby getting her own wired ideas in her head if she caught on to what was really going on.

Yeah, she really did not need those ideas, not like she didn't have enough of those already!

Damnit Moriarty!

"And Abigial, J-Lily and goddess forbide Chole too! I KNOW the second she hears about this, her perversion is going to be even worse now!"

And goddess help him, if Chole somehow tricks Ilya into helping her. Knowing that perverted little troll works and her surprising skillful sliver tongue, the female version of Emyia could trick anyone in doing what she wanted. He should know, she's pulled the wool over his own eyes during his younger days and thankfully, he's learned his lesson:

95% of the time Chole speaks bullshit but when someone cries wolf, the smartest choice to do is pay attention.

You might be surprised at what you find.

Back In The Viewing Room

"Life isn't fair peg legs. My Oni-chan and i found that out the hard way, as we were forced to save a world that would sooner kill us both simply because of what we are, and you know what's REALLY unfair? The fact all is hard work was for naught? All the sacrifice, all the blood, sweat and tears we shed trying to save this shitty world of ours and what we get is nothing but blood and death? To be screwed over by the very people we saved for some stupid reason. But you know what, you want to know what the REAL gut puncher is? It's finding out that everything we worked for would all remain moot, because some stupid, assholes decide to unleash a new hell upon our world. Oh, but if that wasn't enough, even when Oni-chan saves the world, AGAIN, he gets betrayed by the very people he saved. So, here's some advice for you PEG-LEGS-" Gudako's voice shifted not in the same way Xero's does when his Yoki started reacting to his emotions but similar at the same time. Only instead of getting a drop in temperature, it actually started rising, as Gudako's fiery red head started shifting color. Going from her bright, orangey red to an actually FIRE red as her eyes a lite, not with the Maiden's power but her own magic, as she started stalking over to the sliver haired boy, who was frozen in his spot.

It was like looking at Cinder when she got upset but so much worse than his boss.

Sweat, actually sweat from the heat of her flames, made drops down his forehead as Gudako glared a fiery death towards him,"-SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. Cause if i have to endure one more pitiful, whiny rate i will personally see to it that you get a real BURNING end. Is that clear?"

By this point, a fire looked ready to break out as flames swirled around Gudako's body, as her hair ignited the same way Yang's did when she used her semblance, only that much hotter and more ferocious looking then Yang could ever hope to be.

The heat raiding from Gudako body was so hot, everyone, yes everyone including Olga, was beginning to sweat up a storm at the firey rage she had against the sliver haired boy.

Unfair?

Ha!

That useless metal legged boy had no idea what unfair really was and she most certainly didn't want to hear ANY type of whining about unfairness. She and Xero knew full well how unfair life was and getting any kind of advantage was a goddess send to them.

Or life just throwing the pair a bone.

Regardless, Gudako didn't care as they had more than earned everything they have and she wasn't going to stand for some punk with daddy issues, make a sound like they didn't work for what they have.

For fuck's sake, Oni-chan had his back broken in half!

99% of people who had their backs broken like that never walk again and the 1% that did, aren't the same, even then it would take years of physical therapy to even do it, let alone get back into the fighting shape he was in. Aside from the eye candy she got, Gudako was happy that Xero was able to come back stronger than ever from the life changing injury.

But that was only because of a combination of healing magic, Florence, Medea Lily and his Yoma regeneration. Strangely enough Yoma bones were usurpingly flexible and stretchable.

Well at least strange in human standard bones at any rate.

Which was ironic, given how easily breakable they were but Gudako ultimately chocked it up to just another one of her Oni-chan's quirk's so to speak.

Everyone else had decide to stay quiet as this happened, not wanting to get on the redhead's bad side but some like Enji, Rumi and Logan were nodding their heads towards Gudako's actions.

Yeah, you tell them girl.

Though a few people silently agreed with Gudako's assessment, as they knew how unfair life could be, one of them being Laura and Izuku. One was created to be a weapon, a disposable tool and wasn't even expected to survive too twenty. She was saved by pure luck from that kind of life, and she was forever grateful to her father/DNA doner for saving her.

Then there was Izuku, who had at a very, VERY young age learned the horrible truth that not all men were created equal.

He was born without a Quirk and in a world all but ruled by Quirk's, he was all but condemned to a life of pure hell. But then, in some sort of twist of fate or some kind of destiny, he not only met his idol, but he was chosen by All Might to be the next Symbol of Peace and the new bearer of his Quirk, One For All. Like Xero, he had to work hard and prove himself worthy, not only to use the power itself but Izuku knows he would have to continue to prove himself worthy of being All Might's successor.

Not just for the blonde man but for himself, so he could save people with a fearless smile on his face, just like All Might!

You know what, now that she thought about it, Gudako thought about it, all the Avengers got the short end of the stick at some point in their lives, didn't they?!

Hell, some soldiers like Mikasa-chan, Levi and even Armin got completely screwed earlier in life and this sliver haired asshole wants to whine about unfairness?! Maybe she should just go ahead and get rid of this fucker and do the world a big favor by depriving Salem one of her people?

Seeing as no one dared make a move to talk or speak to the fuming redhead, who was in deep thought weighing the pro's and con's about killing Mercury, the Curator took the chance to start the video once more.

"While Ice Force State is a powerful form, Xero often uses its power to cover his arms and legs to attack, giving his attacks an extra 'Umph' so to speak. When fighting, Xero only uses his ice at the very least second, in order to maximize both speed and power behind his attacks, thus creating a powerful force behind his attacks."

The screen changed again, to show the same scene of Xero fighting thugs, only when he clocked his fist back and thrusted forward, the screen went into slow mode, showing the purple ice forming on his fist, just before it struck the thug's face causing his lower jaw to be torn off by the power behind his attack.

"As bad as this might be, you have to admire the precision, timing and control over his magic to perform a feat like that." David Shield, more than happy to break the tension, spoke as he admired the young man's ability in using his ice magic. Father Vincent nodded in agreement.

"It is. It takes YEARS for Magus to gain that kind of control over their magic and use it in such a way. But given what Lord Mazoku's been through, i suppose it was a simple matter of do or die, as the young people say. Either he grows as a Magus and thrive or don't and die."

A bit of a morbid way to look at it but undeniable.

"However, even with the raw strength behind Ice Force State, old Reep's Lighting Force State is by far his most used and powerful Force state of the three."

"If Wind Force State is for long range and Ice is for defense, then Xero's Lighting Force State is a mixture of both. Able to attack at long range with devastating effects and get up close and personal in an instant. He can also manipulate the lighting or to be more accurate, electricity from regular storms, in pretty much anything types of electricity powered equipment to use at his own discretion." Wiz said, as the screen showed Xero pulling power from the various mentioned items, as his co-host cut in.

"Plus, it's useful for charging up his phone whenever he wants too." Boomstick spoke with a grin, "But for some reason, Xero's lighting is black and red, just like how his ice is purple. Hell, his damn fire is WHITE for God's sake, is there any reason for that Wiz?"

"It has been theorized that Xero's magic is effected, not only by his emotion's but how much power he puts into them and the fact his magic IS tainted by his Yoki, it makes the most logic sense. Also, Xero's flames are hot enough to almost instantly melt down not just bones but metal too. You see bone ash usually has a density around 3.10 g/mL and a melting point of 1670 °C (3038 °F). Most bones retain their cellular structure through calcination. Which also means his flames have reached over 2,700 degrees hot in order to burn, let alone basically melt down into slag. Given how fast the bones melt, the temperature of his flames must have reached over 3,000 degrees Celsius."

"Damn, that's hot."

Once again, Izuku's new writing tool all but slide across his EIGHT analyzing books with lighting speeds.

Pun very much intended.

"Okay, i get the hotter his fire gets it changes color but why is his ice and lighting different colors?" Denki asked, as Gudako simply shrugged.

"Don't know. It's just one of those things that's probably best left unanswered and it just is. We just assume it's due to both Oni-chan's power and how much he pours into it."

"If i may ask, is his lighting stronger than normal, Lady Gudako?"

"It is." The redhead nodded towards Nezu, as she titled her head," Why?"

"Then it may be the same principal as his fire being hotter than normal fire, thus changing color."

Ozpin finished for his fellow headmaster, taking a sip of his drink, as the mouse/bear hybrid nodded, "Indeed. I have seen different colored fires before but lighting? I must admit, that is a new one for me."

"My lighting and fire can't do that."

Raven thought to herself, feeling fear and jealousy course through her veins like acid in her blood. All her life she strove to be the strongest and or control anything that could either prove stronger to useful to her in anyway. She may say she believes only the strong survive but the truth was that she was a coward, fearful for her life and believed the only way to survive was to be a bandit. Taking whatever, she wanted, when she wanted and avoiding any chance of Salem or Ozpin coming for her.

After all, as powerful as she is, what could a bandit do that better than normal criminals, the crazy ones and members of the kingdom's higher tier people?

But her pride wouldn't allow her to be a nobody, so she decide to become the feared "Bandit Queen of Mistral" and in doing so, gained Raven many more followers that, in the very unlikely event Salem came for her, she had that many more meat shields to throw at the Grimm.

Sure, Raven would say she was being logical and smart, but the sad truth was that all those words were nothing more than excuses of a woman, running away from her fear of death.

Gaining the Spring Maiden's power wasn't part of her original plan, but it was too good of an opportunity to pass up and when the child refused to obey her, planning to run to Salem to just GIVE the evil woman the relic, Raven HAD to stop her.

Ozpin might be a liar and a snake (Look who's talking bitch) but if there was one thing, he was truthful about, it was that Salem getting any of the relics was a terrible thing for everyone involved. It would be bad if she got knowledge or creation but getting Choice and Destruction would be nothing sort of apocalyptical scenario. It would not only spell doom for all of Remnant itself but more importantly, herself. So, in a moment of pure desperation to stop the foolish girl, Raven attempted to subdue her but hit a vital organ, killing her instantly.

The little bitch wasn't only afraid but very petty too and thus, she became the Spring Maiden.

A freak accident but one that became a boon for her, as she was able to gain even more followers but knew she had to be careful, otherwise both Salem AND Ozpin would be on her ass. So, she careful worded her order to Vernal to act as her pasty for the Maiden powers and allowed Raven to stay under the Rader, along with sending any would be assassins after Vernal and not her.

Selfish but it was in the best interest of the tribe or so she told herself.

But now things had changed.

Things had been spiraling out of control ever since Earth came into the picture, by the very thing she was beginning to fear more than Salem, if that were possible. The more she saw, actually saw the progress the boy had made in life to create these "Force States" of his and what he could do in them could easily roughshod over her own magic power.

Sure, she had control over the weather of Spring, but the truth was that she had very little practice in using it in combat, let alone getting to Mazoku's level of control. She was on a different level than most, but Mazoku was in a league all his own.

But in all fairness to her, she didn't have a chance of practicing, not with both Salem and Ozpin's agents looking for the Maiden.

Not that it mattered, as it was becoming more and more clear to Raven that even if she and the entire tribe attacked Mazoku, she would fail. It was a hard pill to swallow and while her pride roared that no one was stronger than her, her small, logical side said that he was stronger her.

Something that should be impossible.

He was just a brat, her pride said.

He is weak, her pride would say, all this meant nothing and never would in the grand scheme of things. Salem was immortal, it didn't matter how strong Mazoku was, you CAN'T Beat what cannot be killed!

IT. WAS. IMPOSSIBLE!

But the rest of her said yes, this was real, and she was grossly outmatched in every single way possible. He was stronger than her, had better weapons, had stronger magic and far more allies that would willingly come to his aid no matter what, while her own allies would abandon her at the first sight of weakness. The weak die and the strong survive after all, that was the fundamental rule the tribe was established on, and nothing could change that. But if someway he does manage to wipe out the Grimm and defeat Salem (No matter how unlike it might be, a tiny part of her hoped he could), he'd set his sights on her and her tribe.

Either she does something that would prevent him from coming after her or just go into hiding.

Raven was no match for Mazoku and this was proving it, not to mention, all his allies easily outnumbered her tribesman. It didn't matter how strong they were, numbers can decide a battle.

"What do i do? How do i ensure our survival?"

What to do, what to do?

Convince him to see things her way or hide away for survival?

Typical.

"Okay, now i am really feeling like deadweight." Armin sighed, seeing all of Xero's magical powers and abilities made the blonde-haired man feel like he was only dragging him down, rather than helping. Even if the logic part of him told him, that his boss couldn't do everything on his own, in terms of combat, only people like Levi and Mikasa could actually prove helpful, rather than simply getting in the way.

Kinda like how his friends had to help him with bullies in high school.

"But at least i can help some."

It was little comfort, but some was better than none.

"I know were supposed to be learning how to better defend ourselves, but Nora is going to be more, well Nora, once this is over. Oh, who am i kidding, the second Lord Mazoku's comes back, she's going to be begging to be his student." Ren sighed, fully aware that any fellow lighting user would be in his long-time friend's sight and seeing what he can do, Ren wasn't sure if it would be a good thing or a bad thing.

Sure, Nora would get stronger but...it's Nora.

Nuff said.

"I wonder if i can get Xero to give me a few tips on how to use my own lighting?" The weather goddess of the Avengers thought to herself, looking down at her hands, silently channeling a little bit of lighting to her hands. While the Curator might have depowered them all, he did allow them a tiny bit of their power to remain, enough to show it was there but not enough to threaten anyone. Even if it was limited to those, he trusted NOT to abuse this small token of trust.

Maybe she could even do something with her wind too if she took a few notes from his 'Wind Force State'.

"Oh, hell yeah, our fights going to be the best one i have ever had." Rumi knew she was confident, a bit arrogant at times in her well-earned skills and was aware she was very much a battle junkie with enough experience fighting villains to know her limits. The rabbit heroine was fully aware that she would more than likely lose to Xero once they actually fought but that didn't deter her from wanting to fight the teen, if nothing else, seeing all these skills only made her feel like her blood was pumping harder!

She may lose but by all God, the gods or even goddess, she was going to make the boy work for it!

"Anyway, Xero's signature move in this form is the Discharge. It was molded after the defibrillator pack."

"Only instead of bringing people back to life, it kills them, like he was Doctor Death! Giving his enemies a SHOCKING ending with his signature lighting spell."

The scene changed to show Xero, wearing his cloak and one-eyed mask, slamming his hand on a thug's chest, shouting "Discharge", as lighting shot throughout his body, causing it to spasm then go motionless.

"Excuse me but doesn't a defibrillator kill someone anyway if it's used wrong?" Tenya asked, as Wiz cut in.

"Actually, a defibrillator can kill a person if used wrong. But Xero can in fact bring people back to life if needed, as all he needs to do is adjust the voltage setting easily."

"Ah, thank you Wiz."

"Is that an echo?" The lighting user of 1A asked, as small chuckles were heard at his question.

"Oh, right. Well, moving on, Xero can use his lighting for the typical lighting style magic tricks. Which including lightning bolts, charging shit up and shocking the ever-living shit out of people, people like my ex-wife!"

"But that's not all, as Xero can use a skill called 'Lighting-Flash' to move as fast as lighting itself, almost similar to his Phantom Technique only instead of using Yoki, he uses magic to do it. Keep in mind though, the speed of lighting travels at the speed of light (670,000,000 mph) an actual lightning strike travels at a comparatively gentle 270,000 mph."

"Goddamn, now THAT is fast." Boomstick spoke with awe in his voice," Good thing he made sure to build his body up to the point it could withstand the strain that comes with moving faster than light itself, he can end a fight in a flash."

The scene changed again, to show Xero fighting a hooded figure, who moved to strike him, only for a lighting dome to appear around Xero and he vanished! Time seemed to slow down, as the mysterious attack, slowly moved his eyes to the side, just as the dark clouds above them roared with a thunderclap, as Xero appeared above him, seemly moving with the striking lighting in the background, crossing several miles in an instant.

"Holy cats, he's faster than me!" Ruby, rather than be annoyed or even a bit jealous, was in awe at Xero's ability to manipulate lighting to such a degree to pull of such a feat. Her partner, Weiss silently looked at her clenching hands and had a deep frown on her face as her mind whirled with all the possibilities floating through her mind.

"My Glyphs can't make me that fast." No matter how much it galled at her pride, Weiss was forced to admit that her semblance was no match for Mazoku's Lighting Force State power or any of his Force States for that matter.

Man didn't that just burn her pride.

"Interesting." Izuku mused to himself, writing a million miles a minute, "The skill and control he would need to pull off such a move would have to have good precision shots and good timing to not only pull it off but use it without hurting himself. Not only is his speed increased, but his strength is also increased as well, not to mention it would be near impossible for anyone to dodge the mumble, mumble, mumble." Annnndddddd the mumble train was once again in full steam mode, all aboard.

Whoo, whoo!

"Not to mention lighting moves faster than sound itself, so my kid can pretty cover several miles in an instant." Tony smiled proudly at the feats his son was able to accomplish with his magic.

"No kidding, he moves as fast as lighting, now that can easily turn the tide of a fight in an instant." Steve mused to himself, recalling his young friend had used a similar ability back in WW2, right when a HYDRA soldier was about to kill him, he heard what sounded like the sky cracking open and a flash of lighting, as Xero suddenly appeared, stopping the agent before he could finish Steve off.

"Hmmmm, it is a good idea." Sir Night Eye spoke to himself, nodding his head in understanding, "Power and strength is good and all but it means nothing if you can't hit anyone. A fight can be decided on who hits first and hits faster."

Timing was everything and Mirio's fighting ability with his unique Quirk made timing key to using it to its fullest potential. While a Qurik was a part of oneself, it was still a tool, and a tool can be as strong as it's wielder.

"It should be noted that Xero only developed this skill in order to combat his older sister, Freida, magic of gravity control. Seeing as her very magic origin is actually gravity itself, it's no surprise her own gravity magic is superior to his own and far more dangerous to boot." Wiz said, as it showed the woman in question using her unique brand of magic to combat several nameless thugs, as Boomstick spoke.

"Which is actually a pretty smart move. Cause you know, trying to fight gravity is like, well, trying to fight gravity, you're not going to win."

No one could disagree as fighting gravity was all but impossible, as those who had experienced the elder former Mazoku's magic made it impossible for anyone to attack her, let alone touch her in any shape or form.

"It's actually a good idea."

Armin wasn't too versed in gravity magic or magic in general, but he could see what Xero was trying to do, augmenting his body to move as fast as lighting itself. Lighting moved faster than sound itself, which is why it takes about five second for it to be heard, seeing as it moves faster than the sound that came with the natural phenomena.

If Xero could move faster than Freida could keep up with, it wouldn't matter how good her gravity magic was, he'd be upon her before she could even think, let alone cast a spell.

A bit of a gamble but one worth trying.

"And, like his other two forms, Xero has a sort of shield around his body when he's in this state. Thanks to the lighting surrounding his body acts as a sort of magnet, only it sends any type of metal sailing AWAY from his body. Though iron and plastic is not effected by his Cloak of Lighting, but any type of metal be it from a blade, bullet or even a sniper bullet would be sent anywhere but at Xero, making it the ideal defensive shield for Xero." Wiz said, as Boomstick cut in with a grin.

"Yeah, and thanks to the massive voltage charge, no human can touch him without getting fried, like you touched the Joker's hand buzzer."

"Okay, yeah going to say it, i for one am glad the kid is on our side."

"Don't you mean, we're on HIS side?" Clint shrugged at Betty.

"Don't know, don't care. I'm good but not that good, i like living and having all my bones intact, thank you very much."

Mutters of agreement were heard all around, more than thankful that Xero decide to be what he is and not...not something worse.

"But even with all his power, he was still unable to stop the Dead from destroying our world."

Erwin thought, not mockingly or thinking that it showed Xero was weak, it just showed him just how powerful and dangerous their enemy truly was. Last time, they were caught with their pants down and it led to the extinction of humanity.

Well, not this time.

This time, they had the knowledge and were preparing for the invasion of the Rotten World. He just hoped it would be enough, Levi thought the same thing but said nothing. Worrying would accomplish nothing but making his hair gary.

Worring was useless and very time consuming. It was better to focus on the task at hand, rather than worry over something you couldn't control.

"Then there are his main methods attack like Lighting Net, which pretty does exactly as it sounds. It creates a net of lighting, destroying everything caught in its web. Similar to his Lighting Chain, it does exactly as it sounds, creating a chain of lighting for Xero to use at his leisure."

"Even though his Lighting Manipulation is similar to his Ice Manipulation, allowing old Reeps to create all kinds of Lighting based items, like his very first lighting creation: The Lighting Scythe!"

The screen changed once again, to show a cloaked Xero, wearing an old knight's face plate, as he held his hand up in the air, as the darken clouds crackled and boomed. Then a lightning bolt moving like a snake in the air, as it zig-zaged across the sky before striking at Xero's open hand like it was a lightning rod and reshaped itself into a scythe like shape, allowing Xero to grip the handle of it and swing it around, as it were an actual scythe.

"Let's go you fuckers."

"Okay, i don't care what anyone else says, that's downright scary!"

"And i say it was fucking awesome!"

The yellow haired electricity user and mad bomber of class 1A said, originally feeling a bit inadequate to the older teen. Well Denki did, as Bakugo only felt his desire for a fight grow more and more, excitement flooding his veins at the upcoming fight. Sadly, for Denki, the boy felt like he was nothing more than a lighting bug, compared to the thunderstorm that was Xero.

The rest of his classmates nodded, expect for Bakugo who was grinning madly. Oh, he couldn't wait for them to finally fight, it will be an epic battle!

After all, a person can only grow stronger by fighting strong people, right? Then how strong could he grow if he faced someone as powerful as Xero?

"Well i got to hand it to the little listener, if he was a hero course student, he'd definitely be pro-hero martial." Present Mic grinned, as Aizawa said nothing but mentally agreed with his frei-coworker. While he found the dark-haired teen's methods distasteful, unlike Blake, he was willingly to wait to hear the reason, the WHY Xero feels like he needs to go to such lengths to prevent this "Dead War" thing.

Ruby, despite her earlier disagreement with Gudako and Olga, had stars in her eyes at seeing the lighting sycthe.

If Xero was Nora's lighting buddy, then they could be scythe buddies! ~

"But that's not all. One of his main abilities he uses in this form, is to basically charge up his muscles with lighting strengthen his body. Making him stronger and faster in the process."

"Hey, big boss is like me! We can be lighting bubbies! Oh, oh, maybe the lighting duo of destruction!" Nora cheered, seeing the resemblance between Xero's power and her own semblance. Ren, Jaune and Pyrrha shivered at the thought of Xero actually allowing their teammate to team up with him and the sheer amount of destruction the duo could cause.

"And just to add insult to a very painful injury, Xero can use some of his ice magic to add an extra kick to his attack. By channeling lighting into an ice-covered fist, he can contain the energy into his fist and whenever he throws a punch, the attack is doubled from its original attack power by a whole hell of a lot." Boomstick spoke in a very cheeky tone, as Wiz added.

"Not only that but by charging up his own body, everything is sped up, including his regeneration. Thanks to his unique heritage on his mother's side of the family but we'll get to that later, as all his wounds that would heal in minutes, would heal in seconds. But Xero's ultimate move in this form is his Lighting Storm move. Not only is this move powerful enough to wipe out entire armies in just a one stroke, as it was proven during the first battle of the Dead War."

Oh, that's right!

The people who were originally here during the beginning of the viewing, remember how Avenger Xero unleashed his own Lighting Storm upon the undead and wiped-out thousands in an instant.

"Live Bait, how much destruction can my son cause with a fully powered Lighting Storm?"

Olga growled but answered Tony, nevertheless, "My master once told me that his Avenger self was able to generate enough magical power to completely wipe out Z Nation. It was basically the heart of enemy territory, located in the UK, the city of London."

"Ah, i get it. It was in Greenwich in Connecticut, where's the first victim became infected right?" Erwin asked, as Olga nodded.

"Indeed. That is where master, Lady Adenela and Dr. Strange need to strengthen the barrier around our world to ensure the Rotten World's essence doesn't seep into ours."

"Dr. Strange?"

Judging by how he was described and how he was including in their plan to 'strengthen the barrier' Cinder concluded that he must have been some sort of Magus and therefore, an ally of Mazoku. Someone she would have to keep an eye out for.

"What kind of name is Dr. Strange?"

"No idea but it sounds dumb."

Her minions spoke quietly to themselves, wisely keeping their voices down, not wanting to be the target of their enemy's ire. Maybe sick Adam on Mazoku's allies or something.

"Plus, this form has proven strong enough to easily damage his father's mark 4 armor with little effort, when he offered to 'teach' him, how to fight properly in hand-to-hand combat with his suit." Boomstick added with a big grin, as the screen changed to show Xero, in his sleeping clothes an open orange button up T-shirt with boats on it and boxers, as he threw his father's armored form around like a ragdoll with little effort.

Unbelievable.

Those who wanted their own Iron Man armor when Tony first showed it to the world, all went wide eyed at the sight of the man's son easily besting a weaponize suit that can easily change the state of warfare forever.

It was simply unbelievable sight to see and even if they had this 'proof', it was still an unbelivable sight to behold.

Strongest Magus of his generation indeed! If there were any doubts before, there were none now.

"Amazing!" Milessa however, clapped with sparkling eyes, "I have never seen any armor so sophisticated Mr. Stark, what's made out of? Stainless steels, manganese steels, Hadfield steels, gold-titanium alloy?"

Well, almost everyone.

"That and it's coated with riveted aluminum bomb casing." Tony said proudly, glad to see someone understood how hard his armor was to make and knew when to admire a work of art.

"Unreal." The father/creator of Penny said, eyes wide at the unique piece of armor, never once having such a piece created before. Nothing, not even Atlas top scientist have ever come close to creating something so marvelous, not even Arthur Watts. It was a shame he wasn't here today.

If only he knew.

"This is a disaster!"

Jacques didn't show it, but he was sweating bad. It was bad enough he had to deal with a brand-new world, full of "Superheroes" of all things with some sort of evil world wanting to take over the world they ended up merged with, one of the biggest threats to their world was impossibly powerful.

The first two Force States made Jacques start to reconsider his options, but it was Xero's Lighting Force State that had him sweating. More than ever, he began to believe Mazoku was a threat, not just the SDC but Remnant as a whole. Half their military ran on electricality and none of their soldiers of those barbaric huntsman held a candle to the teen's power or skills.

Most huntsman only had one ability, but the son of Stark had more abilities than any huntsman could ever dream of. Using just his ice and speed alone, he was able to destroy the best huntsman team in Atlas. While James might be a fool, he knew how to pick strong soldiers and huntsman alike, so to see one of their BEST teams get taken down so easily was...worrying to say the least.

But after seeing what he did during this so called "Dead War", how he was able to destroy so many in an instant made Jacques believe Mazoku needed to be dealt with. His power was too dangerous to be left alone and if left alone, would spell the end of everything he worked for!

"This will be tricky, i know Feilds is an expert in making people of special interest 'vanish' from the public eye, but this goes beyond just Atlas and the kingdoms. It goes beyond even Remnant itself and these fools won't see it the way i do. No, this has to be dealt with, with a great amount of care. But it has to be done and if we can gain control of the boy's power, then all the better for Atlas."

Yes, it was better that this loose cannon be locked down and controlled, rather than allowed to run wild and free to destroy everything they held dear. It had to be done, for the greater good but Jacques knew James and those fools on the council would never let it fly.

Well, at least James wouldn't.

Thanks to that damned Curator and this situation they found themselves in, Chivalric Arms, the main weapon's marker of Atlas was put in a bad light because of the book "NULL" taking things out of context. So, what if the Arc family suffered beyond imaging?

Did they not realize that in order to achieve greatness and push the boundaries of their society, sacrifices had to be made?

One family vs. thousands, no millions, it would be a no brainer who should be sacrificed. Don't sacrifice a thousand lives just for one, right? Humanity was beginning pushed to the brink of extinction, not just by the Grimm but those damned animals called Faunus too.

Something had to be done and if that Arc boy did indeed have the Null semblance, then his noble sacrifice would be worth the prosperity it brought Atlas (And the SDC) would be well worth it. Jacques knew he would have to tell Matthew, the CEO of CA all the details he as soon as he could, so they would find a way to pull off this operation to capture the Mazoku boy without anyone realizing it was them.

Maybe hiring some mercenaries or even criminals to capture him will do the job well enough and even if they did realize it was Atlas, what could those fools do? No one would dare go against Atlas, not when their in using the Mazoku boy as a method to benifiet all of mankind.

"Like it or not, sacrifices have to be made, just like with Willow's brother. This is for the good of Atlas and the world as a whole, they'll see."

What a fucking delusional, asshole.

"That bastard human is faster than me!"

Adam Taurus didn't need more reason to hate the sliver streaked human but if he did, he most certainly hated him more than ever. If there was one thing Adam valued more than his work and hate for humans, it was his speed.

The latchkey to his victories in the past.

Unlike most of these huntsman and huntress, Adam didn't have the chance to study and train at one of their precious schools. He had to train on his own, to develop his own fighting style and even unlocked his semblance, Moon Slice. His sword style, the Iaido quick draw style, was the deciding factor in many of his fights and his semblance as well, ending most in one quick thrust.

He was strong sure, but it was his speed that made him a force to be reckoned with and had earned the White Fang so many victories. After all, it didn't matter how strong a person was, if their opponent was faster and now, he found someone who wasn't just faster but had speed he could never hope to reach.

And that infuriated him to no end!

This would not stand, forget what Khan said, the second he gets the chance, he would cut that fucking human down and the rest of his allies as well! No one was faster than him, nobody!

Least of all, some fucking, half breed freak of a human!

"Hmmmm, my, my little why my little brother-in-law was able to defeat Ursula in combat."

Even if it was in the back of her mind, Ember wondered just how her dear little sister, who by the way was no slouch in combat, lost to not just a human but a Magus of all things. The fight was either a testament to Xero's strength or it showed how Ursula becoming weak with her time in the human world.

The redhead elder sister was happy to see it was the former, rather than the latter, her dear little brother law is indeed that strong enough to defeat a dragon as strong as her sister.

"Strong, smart, beautiful, empathic and kind, my sister really did hit the jackpot with this one."

"Oh yeah, me and big boss are lighting buddies for sure!"

Nora grinned and wiggled in her seat, imaging all the destruction she and Big Boss could do together with a team up. With his magic and her semblance, they'd be unstoppable!

Elsewhere in the theater room, Ren shivered.

"While Lighting Force State is his most used, useful and well-versed powered up states, Xero has one more state that is his least used but by far, his deadliest Force State. This form wasn't discovered by Xero but his future self and one that was created for the soul purpose of killing his undead enemies." Wiz began, as the screen changed once again, to show Avenger Xero surrounded by undead bodies, blood circling around his body as his eyes glowed red and red, tear like ducts appearing to go down his cheeks, as his teeth sharpen like he was using his Yoki. The blood circling around Xero body moved in a snake like formation, as they form wings behind his back, and he threw his hand back as the blood rose around him, striking everything in sight with blades of blood.

"RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!"

"...What is that?" One of the visiting political leaders asked in a very fearful tone, as some like Ruby and Ochako hid behind their friends, while some like Mineta and Deery (Adam's subordinate) fainted from the feeling of bloodlust in the air.

Everyone, ones like All Might, Tony, Logan, Gran Torino, Endeavor and Ross felt fear grip their hearts as various, gruesome versions of their own deaths flooded their minds without warning making them flinch at the images flooding their minds.

Armin gripped his shoulder, feeling a shuddered of fear run through him but otherwise, felt no need to run away. Logically, he knew bos-XERO, would never do anything to harm him or their friends. If there was one thing anyone knew about Xero Mazoku, it was that he valued his friends and family above all else. If he had to choose to save one of them vs thousands of others, he'd chose them without hesitation.

It sounded a bit selfish and self-centered, but Xero made it clear that he was no hero.

Sure, he saved people from criminals and such but that was partially because it advanced/alined with his own goals and the idea of hurting people just because you could, never sat well with him. Not when he knew he had the power to do something about it.

Selfish sure but hey, despite all that he could do, Xero was only human after all.

"Blood Force State, the ultimate Force State Xero has achieved during the Dead War to quite literally slaughter everything in sight. We can't even properly explain this State, as Xero and his Avenger self-have only used it a handful times. Well mostly Avenger Xero, as the present Xero has used it only three times."

"This Force State has also been called 'Instant Death Murder'."

Chuckles and laughs were heard at Boomstick's joke, but that didn't change the feeling of unease seeping into everyone. Anyone who has ever read a fantasy book knew that Blood Magic was portrayed as both powerful and evil. So, it must be some seriously dangerous form.

"This Force State has only been used seven times and five of them were used by Avenger Xero, as the present Xero has only used it once to see if he could actually enter this state and the second, was during the invasion of New York, right before he Awakened. The most we have learned about this state, is that Xero basically turns the dead's power, their BLOOD, into his OWN power."

"Like Boomstick said, the Blood is the main power of the Cult of Umber's and what they use to power their undying troops. It was honestly by complete accident that Avenger Xero discovered this state and not only is it very dangerous to use, as he loses all sense of who is friend and foe, attacking without distinction but without a constant source of blood, he has about five minutes before he passes out or quite possible, die. But while in this state, Xero can siphon the blood out of his opponents or just anything in general with little to no problem, using the blood in various ways that would ultimately lead to death."

"In other words, no living thing can hope to fight and win while old Reeps is in this state. Even with a five-minute window if he doesn't have another's blood to power it, his speed, strength and reaction time are amplified a hundred-fold, so it doesn't matter what you send after him. Just know it's going to die a very brutal, very bloody death."

"But it is meant for his enemies during the Dead War, nothing more." Wiz said, "It does help that he can make blood based weapons, so yeah, this is a Force State you don't want to come after you."

"Welp, that explains the sudden surge of bloodlust we felt in New York, boss was pulling out the big guns." Eren committed, as the rest of his friends/squad mates nodded, shivering at the memory at the sudden feeling of dread and death that filled the air during the Battle of New York. It was nearing towards the end of the battle, when everyone felt what could only be described as a massive spike in bloodlust, as they heard inhuman roaring.

Nobody knew what happened and the Servants and Gudako kept their mouths shut about the whole thing, leaving them even more confused till now. NOW it made a whole lot more sense.

A trump card is dangerous, even more so when you keep it secret from everyone.

The Avengers shivered, as the to remember the same feeling of overwhelming bloodlust, rage and hate that suddenly came as quickly as it disappeared in just a split second. It wasn't a feeling they'd forget anytime soon.

Or ever for that matter.

"And while Xero has a host of other different magical abilities, like his own portal-based magic he learned from Dr. Strange, Xero's techniques and magic aren't the only thing he has going for him."

"There's more?" Vernal asked, more than done with everything around her.

Having been forced to face the reality that Xero and his allies were stronger than all the members (And Raven herself) she was just done with all of it. Truth be told that this entire thing only proved just how little and weak she and the rest of the tribe really were, having seen Xero's so called "resume" and seeing example after example of the incredible feats he has pulled off, the Branwen tribe didn't come close to achieving what he has achieved.

That wasn't even including those Servants of his, ones they had no-

"Yep, you see while Xero can use magic, one of his most dangerous powers if his ability to summon Heroic Spirits or Servants, as they are commonly called by Magus. Summoning these spirits have "

Or maybe not.

Everyone leaned forward, as Gudako sighed, while Olga looked at the redhead with a look that said, 'Are you sure this is a good idea?'

"This may not be a good idea but at least this will deterrent some idiots, so leave it be girls, Father. Besides, they're going to learn about the Servants sooner or later, might as well let Boomstick and Wiz explain it, save us some time."

Irina nodded hesitantly, as Xenovia grunted but said nothing, as Father Vincent nodded in agreement.

"Heroic Spirts are legendary figures from history that have done amazing things to be remembered as legends. Whether they be a hero, villain or something in-between, these people have been remembered and recorded onto the Throne Of Heroes. One example of how it only requires someone to remember a person for something beyond normal expectations to be regarded as a legend, is the legendary serial killer who stalked the streets of London's alley ways, Jack The Ripper."

The screen changed once again, to show the young Assassin in the dark alleyway, cloaked and twin knives in hand.

"Wait, hold on a second, that girl is Jack the Ripper?"

At Gudako's nodding, the British ambassador a young man with short blonde hair and blue eyes widens in shock and confusion, "but she's just a-"

"Kid? Yeah, she is. Which makes total sense why the police couldn't catch Jack the Ripper, as they were looking for an adult male or a female by the near end of their search. They never once thought it could be a child. Which for all intent and purposes was the prefect cover for her, seeing as no one would dare accus a child of committing such heinous crimes, not with the times they were in."

"If that's so, why did she kill all those working girls?"

"Because she was looking for a mother." At the questioning looks, Gudako elaborated, "Servants, for all the differences between them and humans, are still people. They have their own hopes, dreams, desires and like people, they can be hurt. Psychically or mentally and some of our Servants were already broken during their first lives, having experienced such a hellish experience that it can either make them warry of humans in general or just plain crazy. Jack is a very unique case, as she wasn't born like normal people. Hell, she isn't even an artificial made human, Jack is a collection of wraiths, souls of unborn children that were discarded during the 1800's by the whores and when enough of them were killed, their wrathful souls came together to create a new being altogether. The one thing those children wanted was a mother and when the woman, whom she approached rejected her..."

"She killed them." Levi finished for Gudako, eyes brows furrowing, "But that doesn't explain why she cut their stomachs open or why she went after whores almost exclusively."

"Or why no one thought it was possible for the killer to be a girl?" All Might asked, not believing that someone as dangerous as Jack was able to wonder around without anyone catching on to who she really was, "I know the 1800's weren't the best time for anyone but someone must have surely seen a young girl walking around, covered in blood."

"Sadly Mr. Might, that's exactly what happened, back then, no one cared about anyone. Everyone doing everything they could to survive, as the line between the rich and the poor was very clear back then. Those that could help were unable to due to their own situations and those that COULD help didn't care to help a poor, Orpah girl like her and as for why she targeted working girls? Jack wanted a mother but her wish, her greatest desire was to go back to the womb, the one place she was safe and loved. Normally i wouldn't make excuses for a person who kills pretty much at random but the thing about Jack, is that she quite literally doesn't know any better. No one was around to teach her otherwise and as a result, she learned on the streets. When she tried to be nice, she got a bad reaction, so when she did bad things, she got a good reaction, at least in her mind it was a good reaction because she got what she wanted. Well, sort of. So, in her mind, she was doing something good cause she could fantasize about being back in the womb if only for a minute and if it wasn't her 'real mother' then it didn't matter, because she had plenty of other chances to find her real mother. No one else matters but her mother and she was certain that her 'mother' was waiting for her to find her. So, she kept looking till she was finally killed by a wandering Magus, capable of killing a wraith of her caliber. All she wanted was to go back to the womb, where she was safe and loved."

"Okay, as horrible as that might be, how does this tie into her being a Serv-Heroic Spirit?" David Sheild asked, despite feeling disgust and horror coil within his stomach, as the redhead tapped her chin.

"Well, as one can expect Jack is an Assassin class Servant given her legend as a serial killer and as one can expect, she is an expert at slicing the human body to pieces, despite her mind being that of a five-year-old. Naive and innocent, that can flip at any time and most Magus couldn't stay contracted to Jack, because she doesn't need or rather, doesn't want a master but a mother. Gender is mealiness to her, man or woman, it doesn't matter as Oni-chan has proven that, as he is still alive. To Jack her 'Mother' is the most important thing in the world and everyone else...they're just meat sacks for her to kill and butcher at her mother's leisure."

"But not you?" Adam sneered at the redhead, only for the one known as the Fire Angel to surprise him.

"Nope. If i ever turned-on Oni-chan, Jack wouldn't be hesitant to cut me into a million pieces. While Assassin class Servants aren't good at fighting Servant's head on, humans are another thing entirely. Just something for you people to think about, before you think that you can get away with hurting my Oni-chan, know that we have an ARMY of Assassin's at our command, all having been trained thoroughly in the art of silent killing. Considered this a courtesy call on my part."

The redhead's speech left many pondering on what she said and the implications she spoke about the Assassin class Servants.

If they really did have an army of Assassins, then it could prove to be very problematic.

"Ok, I'm sure I'm going to regret this but are we really, REALLY sure that this girl is THAT Jack the Ripper?"

"Yes Boomstick, it is."

"B-but look at her, she's so cute and adorable, she couldn't hurt a fly."

"I know right? Look at her, there's no way she could be a killer."

Mina and the girls of class one A, the pussy Cats, the huntress in training and even Pepper cooed at the sight of young Jack, as Iida fixed his glasses, looking at Gudako apologetic, "I know what Lady Gudako said but i have to agree with Boomstick, someone so young couldn't be the legendary serial killer."

Gudako said nothing but nodded, having similar thoughts before.

"Jack is an unrepenting killer, with a bloodlust to match and will not hesitate to not only snuff a life out but to torture someone. With her unique skill set, Jack can easily spot the vital parts in the human body and target which section would cause the most damage without actually killing the victim in the process. Also, she has been known to eat the hearts of her victims for some reason, but it might just be a Servant thing."

Everyone saves for a few froze at that sudden admission.

"Okay..." Ruby slowly said, trying to match sure she heard that right, "I think I'm going to forgot i heard that."

"Ditto kid." Rumi said, very much weirded out at the admission of a someone, a child no less, actually eating hearts. Was this something she should be worried about?

"I for one am glad Kota doesn't do that." Shino nodded at her teammate's words, very happy her nephew does NOT eat human hearts or any hearts for that matter.

The screen then showed Jack standing in a room, completely drenched in blood as the room looked like a scene out of slaughterhouse, with body parts, guts and limbs all over the place, as Xero Jack's normally innocent look was gone. She was no longer the innocent, happy good girl to Xero and standing in her place was the legendary Serial Killer that terrorized the London alleyways in the 1800s

Xero entered the room not a second later and the killer was gone, replaced by the sweet girl he knew, "Mommy!" The small Assassin launch herself at Xero and hugging his leg with a bright smile, "We did good, right?"

Her master/mommy could only look on at the carnage with shock and asked the only thing he could, "J-Jack, did you do this?"

"Yes!" The girl said with a big smile, blood dripping from her cheek as she rubbed her face into Xero's abs.

"Holy shit!" Boomstick yelled with wide eyes in shock.

"Oh..."

No one had anything to say, too shocked at the sight before them. Out of everything anyone was expecting, they most certainly not expecting this!

"Remind me not to cross her, Xen."

"Noted."

"In a normal Holy Grail War, there are seven main classes of Servants: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Berserker and Assassin. Jack is of the Assassin cast. They are the silent Killer and Heroic Spirit of Assassinations. Extremely skilled at covert, stealthy, and silent operations. Within certain Holy Grail War structures, the only qualifying Heroic Spirits are the nineteen Hassan-i-Sabbah due to the etymology of the very word Assassin being tied to them."

"Uh, what?"

"What Wiz means, is that Assassin's aren't too well known, as a Servant's known legend plays a part in their overall strength and what class they appear as. The more well known the legend, the stronger the Servant is."

"Ah, thanks."

The future Red Riot nodded to Boomstick for his much easier to understand explanation.

"Makes sense, can't be an Assassin if your well know." Tony mused to himself, as Deku had to begin an entirely new book, as he had...seven books written so far? Damn, someone's been busy little bee.

"As far as Classes go, Assassins are the weakest among the seven classes. The standard opinion of which class is the best is one of the three Knight classes, Saber. Not in terms of pure brute strength or overwhelming power, as these Servants placed within this class are agile and powerful melee warrior's adept at swordsmanship, boasting high ratings in all categories, and they are often heroes from the Age of Gods when magecraft was still commonplace. The qualifying conditions require the Heroic Spirits to have legends as knights of the sword, and it is the class that requires the highest levels of attributes in all but the Magic attribute. It is possible for the status qualifications to be bypassed in special circumstances, such as through Nero Claudius's Imperial Privilege and as one can expect, one of these Servants is none other one of King Arthur's knights, the Knight of the sun Gawain and his legendary holy sword, Excalibur Galatine."

The screen then showed said knight, with the glowing sword in hand and a confident smile on his face.

Cinder hissed under her breath, as her left arm start to burn under her skin, the Grimm Parasite within her felt...afraid?

What?

How was that possible?!

"Aggg! The light, it burns!"

Dark Shadow cried within Tokoyami, causing the bird headed boy to wince at the sudden screaming. He waved off his classmate's concern, as they looked at him with worry and despite the pain he was feeling, he was able to admire the beauty of the holy sword.

"Knight of the sun huh? How very appropriate." Ozpin took a sip of his drink, feeling like he was in the presence of the God of Light again. The power of the sword reminded him of both the god and the relics in terms of power.

"It's pretty..." Melissa awed, as many did the same at seeing the Holy Sword glowing with power.

"The second knight class is the good old Lancers, basically spear man or women and people who use long, hard, pointy things to poke people with."

Chuckles were heard at Boomstick's dumb joke, while some like the Schnee wrinkled their noses at the joke.

"Jokes aside, Servants placed within this class, many of which are Heroic Spirits who were knights, are very agile, display excellent close combat skills, show proficiency in hit-and-run tactics that capitalize on range and speed, and are skilled with long-range melee weapons such as spears and lances. The qualifying conditions to be placed within the class are second only to the Saber class, requiring overall excellent attributes and a high agility attribute. Their only particular class ability is Magic Resistance, and although they "tend to be less flashy than the other classes", they display great reliability."

"Prime example is the immortal queen of the Shadow Land and the teacher of legends, as well as old Reep's own teacher, Scathach!"

The screen changed once more, to show the wine-colored haired woman with a smirk on her full lips, as she twirled her twin spears in her hands with practiced ease.

Everyone, save for a few who had gotten used to seeing the Lancer, blushed hard at seeing the violet haired woman in a very TIGHT bodysuit, showing off her perfect figure, as she smoothly used her deadly red spears.

Some of the more perverted ones like team SSSN, Ilia, Dew and Nebula of team NDGO, Jaune, Mineta, Kaminari, several world leaders and just basically any male with a healthy libido all but drooled over the body suit warning woman. Hell, even ones like Logan, Whitely, All Might, Endavor, and Banner were getting a little hot under the collar at the sight of the beautiful woman on screen.

"Hey, wait a minute, if she's immortal, how can Xero summon her?"

Everyone blinked, remembering that the woman was the IMMORTAL queen of the Shadow Land. If she can't die...how did she become a Servant?

"Nobody really knows, just one of those things you don't question just go with it."

"Oh, that's bullshit!"

Bakugo was ignored, as everyone mentally agreed with him but didn't voice it.

Wiz simply shrugged, as he cleared his throat, "Moving on, the third knight class is the Archer. As you can guess, Servants placed within this Class excel in possessing powerful Noble Phantasms, are able to act as highly effective scouts, and are frequently Heroic Spirits from the Age of Gods when magecraft was still commonplace. The qualifying condition for the Heroic Spirits is not attributes, but instead the possession of powerful projectile weapons or special abilities related to projectile weapons. They possess high Magic Resistance as a Class Skill, so most modern magi are unable to inflict damage to them. They also possess Independent Action, allowing them the ability to act independently for a length of time without an active supply of magical energy from their Master."

"So, we got an all arounder, a hit and runner, then a long-range attacker."

Nezu mused to himself, "Quite impressive i must say, i would certainly not want to face one of these Servants in combat."

"Principal Nezu, we've barely scratched the surface of what our Servants can do, and this isn't even half of them. There's still much more to come."

"But some Archers ignore the whole 'fire from afar' thing and like to get up and personal, like this guy!"

The screen changed to show Emyia firing his bow, only for a shadow Servant to appear behind him, attempting to attack him, only for him to jump away at the last second. As he was landing a couple of feet away, Emyia pulled his bow apart, creating two short swords, allowing him to attack the Shadow Servant.

Cinder blinked, seeing the red cloaked Archer us a weapon very similar to her own. That was a surprise to see, as Mei eyes widen in amazement, "Oh cool! How does he do that?! Some sort of super, advanced-"

"Magic."

The pink haired inventor deflated at Gudako's answer, as she crossed her arms over her rather large chest and huffed with a pout. While magic was cool and all, she couldn't just invent magic!

She was a girl of technology!

"Next up, we have the Rider class Servant. They are one of the Four Cavalry Classes among the seven standard Servant classes summoned for the Holy Grail War. Servants placed within this Class are those known for riding mounts, whether living beasts or human constructs, during their lives. There are even some cases where legendary animals have been summoned as a Servant such as Vánagandr and Red Hare. They generally have lower attributes compared to the Three Knight Classes, but the abilities of the mounts described in their legends compensate by granting them powerful Noble Phantasms or abilities. They have the class abilities of Magic Resistance and a high rank in Riding, allowing them to fully utilize the abilities of their mounts. Depending on the rank, they can take full control of everything from simple horses, modern machinery like motorcycles and planes, and even Divine Beasts but only if their skill level is high enough. Dragons are the only exception as the ability to ride them falls under a different Skill; however, rare exceptions do occur."

"No, my sister and i are not a Divine Beasts or a part of a Noble Phantasm." Ursula smirked, as Ruby opened her mouth and promptly shut it. That went on for a second, before she opened it again, "No, you cannot ride on either of our backs. Only my little brother can do so, as he has proven himself worthy of such a privilege."

Ruby pouted even more as Ember chirped in, smiling at the younger Rose's pouty face. Nora did so as well but unlike Ruby, she was more than ready to whine. "But why?! Can you image the terror we can strike in the hearts of our and big boss's enemies! Dragon Queen and Hammer Girl, fighting to make the world a better place and breaking legs along the way, while being super awesome!"

"It would be very awesome as you say but unless you can defeat me in combat, then the answer is still no. No matter how amusing that thought is, those are our laws."

Nora pouted and grumble something about dumb laws and ruining all her fun.

"I take it, that these laws are what caused your sister to marry Xero?" Erwin asked, as Ember nodded.

"Indeed commander. While we have hidden ourselves from you humans, as to prevent a pointless war between our two people, we dragons live to fight. Not necessary to the death per-say, just we naturally love a good fight and someone who can push us to our limits. But the reason why Ursula MATED with my little brother, is because he beat her and proven his strength to her. This makes him an ideal mate, as we dragon live for a very, VERY long time and can wait for a mate strong enough to defeat us, to make strong babies. As a Magus, it is very unusual for one to defeat a dragon, but it was nothing more than a testament to his strength, rather than my sister being weak. Like some of these Servants, our scales have high magic resistance and most normal spells wouldn't even scratch our scales, let alone actually cause us pain."

So, they fight to find a strong mate, simply to have babies with?

That was...

"Sad." Summer spoke quietly to herself, looking at the redhead dragon queen, "So you dragons don't marry out of love? Only procreation?"

"That is our way. That is not to say we can't find love, as i said before, we dragons live much longer than you humans. So honestly, we're just saving ourselves some heartbreak, as compared to dragons, humans are weak and fragile but cunning creatures. That's just how things are, and no amount of emotion can change that."

"Even if my little brother-in-law has refused to sleep with Ursula simply because he doesn't 'love her', i can respect that."

Truth to be told, Ember was actually pretty happy about this turn of events. As the queen, it was her duty to not only protect her people but to ensure their ancient laws are upheld. Even if dragons were prideful creatures, they weren't stupid or foolish. Strength, willing very much needed, was not everything and honor meant nothing if you were dead.

So, they compromised and hiding themselves away from the 'human world' was a necessity, not only for the survival of her race but keeping their planet intact, she had borne witness to what the atomic bomb could do, as Ember got a front row set to watch what it did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

To stay alive, they had to adapt and learn to share the world, least they drown in their own blood in a bloody war. It wasn't fair but that was the cold, harsh truth of the world they lived in.

Much like how some types of Daemons can only be challenged by those with the talents of exorcism.

The sliver eyed warrior fell silent, as did everyone else, having to suddenly be reminded of not only their own mortality but the fact this woman, this dragon can swat them easily like flies.

It was both nerve-racking and humbling at the same time.

"Plus, some Riders can give people like the Flash in terms of surprise attacks, a run for their money and look hot as hell, while they do it!"

The screen showed Medusa, attacking quickly, striking down several armored soldiers before they could even blink, as she held her main weapon in hand, her figure clearly viable in her tight, black dress, as she moved like water. Fluently, easily anticipating their attacks and reacting accordingly.

Many blushed at yet another beautiful woman appeared on screen, while some mentally wondered how and why all the people Xero summoned, were so fucking hot?! Seriously, were these people legends or supermodels?!

"Next up is the Caster class Servants. As the name implies, Casters are Magus and Heroic Spirit of Spells and Sorcery (魔術師の英霊?), is one of the Four Cavalry Classes among the seven standard Servant classes summoned for the Holy Grail War. Servants placed within this Class are usually adept in magecraft, and the only qualifying condition is the mastery of sorceries of the highest caliber compared to the specific parameter requirements of the other classes. Due to not requiring any strong statistics, they generally have low combat abilities, and due to the majority of Servants having some form of Magic Resistance, this Class is thought to be the weakest of all seven. They make up for this with other means, using magecraft that no longer exists in the current age and, no matter which Heroic Spirit is of which Class, possessing many possible ploys to be used against enemies. Those of the Saber Class can likely challenge any Caster who uses magecraft as their main offensive ability without needing to plan due to their high Magic Resistance, while those of lesser resistance like the Rider Class may require more strategy. Their class abilities are Territory Creation, altering the surrounding lands in favor of their sorcery, and Item Construction, which allows the magus to create magical items and tools."

"So, their basically glass cannons?" Izuku asked, as Boomstick cut in.

"Basically, glass cannons. They can throw their weight around sure, but they sure as hell can't take it."

Asui looked at Izuku, "Midoriya can you see into the future?"

The people of class 1A laughed, as Izuku duked down, blushing at how he got his own echo, even Bakugo. While Clint huffed, making his own teammates look at him, "What? That's bullshit and here's why, have you seen Xero and Gudako in action? There's nothing glass about either of those two."

"But just because they aren't very good against other Servants, doesn't mean they aren't good against humans." Natasha cold logic got everyone to freeze for a moment, as they slowly nodded at her point. It was true, not many of them had the magic resistance these Servants had and those that did, were on Xero's side, so they didn't have to worry about getting attacked by one of these Casters.

"Hmmmmmm." Ozpin silently thought for a moment, these Caster sounded similar to the Maidens and Salem. True, while Salem was immortal, she general had very weak defenses and it was only thanks to her immortality that she survived getting literally beaten to death. As a result of her immortal, she doesn't even try to defend, as she focuses more on psychological warfare tactics than anything else. Even if she could easily rival all four Maidens but in terms of pure physical strength...she was pretty weak actually.

She knew HOW to use weapons but again, she mostly focused on psychological warfare tactics, magic and those she turned to her side to act as her weapons against humanity.

This line of thinking would normally be a fool's errand as all those could be stopped in some form or capacity. Then again, when you have an army of animal-based monsters protecting, why should you learn how to fight hand to hand or even defense? If the Grimm don't kill you, you'd be too tired to actually do anything to the queen herself. Ozpin himself could has battled Salem in the past, when he could get past her magic, deliver the smack down on her.

But with her immortality, it meant nothing.

"But now with Lord Mazoku on our side and all these powerful allies, Salem won't know what hit her."

This time, this life may be the last one he has, and Ozpin was actually looking forward to finding out.

"But just because they're glass cannons, doesn't mean they aren't dangerous."

"Yeah, just look at Xero's first god level threat and the king of all Mages: Solomon."

The screen changed again, to show Xero, Gudako and all their Servants facing off against Solomon in his time temple, as the final battle with him was starting to reach its climax.

"Kiddo, is that-"

"Yes." Gudako said solemnly, eyes glazing over as her mind wondered back to the final battle with the King of Mages, "This is it; this is Solomon's time temple and where the Romani took his last breath in this world."

The orange haired girl wiped a lone tear away at the reminder of the good doctor. Romani and Solomon were separate beings during the time of the Chaldea quest, Romani was aware that Solomon was his other half but that was it. He had nothing to do with the king of Mages actions and in the end, Roma-SOLOMON saved her Oni-chan from Gotiea by using himself as a human shield.

That may not make up for all he did but the king last act, made its mark on their hearts.

That what happened between the three of them, what they had, the trust...it wasn't a lie. The man had helped both her and Xero through the rough times, helped pick them back up, healed them when they needed it and was always willingly to lend an ear if they needed it. That was enough to convince her that the Romani they knew wasn't a lie and that was good enough for her.

Even if he was lazy, pessimistic and generally unreliable, he was there when they needed it and when it counted.

The fact Solomon's last act was to not only resurrect Olga as a Servant, but he ensures that she and her dear Oni-chan would be able to keep their Servants. Originally the Servants were bound to Chaldea and through the use of Class Cards, Solomon changed it, so rather than be bounded to the building, the Servants were tied with their souls.

It was probably a lot more complicated than that but ultimately, neither she nor Xero cared to learn more about it.

The Servants would be bond to them for life or when both sides break the contract.

"Huh, not bad." Roman found it kind of funny that someone else had the same name as himself, only it was spelled with an "I" at the end. That and he was apparently the king of all mages, it was almost a-

WACK

"Ow! Neo?!"

The short woman smiled innocently under Roman's glare, as he huffed, muttering about 'short tempers' and such. Well to be fair, she IS a short woman, so a short temper is to be expected i suppose.

"Next up is the final member of the seven main Classes, The Berserker class and as the name implies, someone is going to get their ass beaten. HARD!"

Boomstick explained excitedly and anticipation of the final class Servant.

Everyone quieted down, leaning forward, wondering just how this class stacked up to the other power houses, as Wiz spoke.

"It should be noted that as far as Servants go, the Berserker class is by far the most dangerous of the seven main classes. Mostly because of the madness Enhancement. You see, Servants placed within this Class are always Heroic Spirits who have gone berserk during battle at least once in their lifetime. This trait allows them to use the special ability Mad Enhancement (Madness Enchantment) which trades their consciousness and sanity for a large power boost. This Class is usually for Magus who have summoned Heroic Spirits with insufficient abilities and attributes, allowing them to strengthen their Servants to make up for their lower attributes and compete against stronger opponents. While it is ideal for Servants to reach the level of the Heroic Spirit, the Class allows for their attributes to surpass even the original. If used on an already strong Heroic Spirit, such as Heracles, they will become empowered to truly extraordinary levels. The abuse of this to create powerful Servants has made the Class referred to as the strongest of all seven classes. It is possible to specify in the summoning ritual that the Servant be placed under the Berserker Class for those familiar with the workings of the Grail System. But you do so at your own peril, as master's who are unable to utilize coordination with their Servant unless gifted with superb control over them. The lack of complex rational thinking keeps them from being able to follow more than simple directions, and it may even require Command Spells to keep them from acting on their own. They generally rely on little other than brute strength and overwhelming, uncontrolled strikes to physically beat down their opponents. As a result, in every Holy Grail War before the Fifth, the magical energy consumption and insanity of the Berserker Class has made them incredibly difficult to maintain and control."

"Unless your Xero or Gudako. Well, long story short, they take A LOT of mana to use and one misstep, one wrong move or phrase and they'll kill you without a second thought. But that doesn't mean ALL Berserkers are madder than the Mad Hatter or as trigger happy. Some are completely rational and easy to get along with just like any other Servant or human. That is, so long as you don't mention the object that their madness centers around, or more to the point, say their trigger word. If you do, even by accident, then you're as good dead." Boomstick joked, at first but grew more serious as the screen changed to show said Amazon queen.

Naturally many blushed at the sight of the sliver haired woman, seeing as her beauty but knew it was more on a primal level, rather then

"A perfect example is the Amazon queen, Penthesilea. Despite generally being grouchy and high strung, she is very rational but the second you mention Achilles or call her pretty, you'll be good."

"Hold up, I get why she might go berserk at the mention of the man who killed her but why would she go berserk if someone calls her pretty?" Rhodney asked, very confused at the mention of why-

"That's because Achilles called her pretty, stunning Pen long enough for him to kill her. As a result, how she died became a stigma on her sense of honor and sees anyone calling her pretty, as the deepest insult anyone can bestow upon her. Totally worth it though, even if she crushed my head between those glorious thighs of hers, I'd die a happy man."

"Me too." The perverted duo of UA, team SSSN and several other males all said at the same time, getting glares from all the women and some "You can't be serious" from the rest of the men present.

Meh, not that i blame them, short of not, Penthesilea fucking hot.

"Ritsuka, i want to be clear on i understand this right: A Berserker is the most likely to kill their master than any other Servant?"

Oh, Tony was using her real name, never a good sign. The redhead sweated at the question, as she mentally tried to explain this, without making it sound...oh, who was she kidding? No matter how she worded it, it wouldn't change the fact the Berserker was one of the most dangerous Servants you could summon and are as likely to kill their masters, just as much as their enemies.

Or just anyone in general that remotely pisses them off.

"Okay, yeah they are daddy. Mostly due to their madness enhancement and even then, they might kill someone due to their absurd strength. It's like you're dealing with the Doom Slayer and that's not even including the fact some Berserker's madness might cloud their judgement, twist their perspective of reality. Like, okay, have you ever heard of Rose-tinted glasses? Okay, it's like that but they're wielded onto the Berserker's eyes and the tint of the glasses is the reality the focus on. Not to mention they won't hesitate to destroy ANYONE that dares threaten their fragile view of reality." Gudako explained, as Tony nodded, his frown growing deeper and deeper, as she went on. Olga snorted, getting many to look at her, as she scoffed.

"What Stark is forgetting to mention is that other Servants beside Berserker class have a Madness Enhancement or don't need one, simply because they are already broken. I think many of you are already forgetting that Servants aren't just machines or people created by magic. They were once living, breathing beings and have already lived a full life or had it cut short, very short in some cases... Remember the legend of the Valkyrie, Brynhildr?"

Many winced at the reminder of that fact and flinched twice, as they remembered the Lancer's legend. It was not a legend for the faint of heart needless to say.

"How bad?"

The redhead winced at her adopted father's stoic tone, knowing full well that he was keeping his anger and fear in check and while she wasn't making it easy for him, she tried to soften the blow. "It...it really depends on the Servant themselves. You know Atalanta, the duel haired one? Well, she originally didn't like Oni-chan too much, ya know due to her own past but they were able to work things out. She is one of the Berserkers that CAN speak and think rationally but fearing that she would lose herself to her own anger and hate, she...she had Oni-chan to, umm..." Gudako furrowed her brows trying to figure out how to put this delicately, "Look, let me put it this way, we've got Command Seals for a reason, and we've taken steps to ensure our own protection." Ultimately, Gudako went for broke and decide to just give a vague answer, not wanting to deal with the impending argument from the Faunus if they learned how her Oni-chan "Tamed" Atalanta and was the one to 'hold the chain to her rage and hate'".

Both figuratively and literally.

It wasn't something they openly said but they didn't hide it neither. But those Faunus, from the White Fang and Kuo Kuana wouldn't understand it and truthfully, Gudako couldn't blame them. She had a brief overlook of the wars fought in the freedom of both self-expression and the Faunus, despite the Faunus war seemly achieving nothing of true significance in the present day.

Despite clearly winning the war, many humans acted like spiteful spoiled brats and the one leading the charge of discrimination, was Atlas.

Seriously, the proof was in the fact one of the Ace-Ops members, Marrow left the team and Atlas behind the moment he saw greener pasters. That fact alone only cemented just how badly Atlas treated the Faunus, if one of their more higher-ranking officers and a part of their BEST team all but abounded his team without much swaying.

Hell, there was no honey words or swaying at all!

They just treated the poor dog Faunus with the respect he was clearly denied by his own teammates, be it consciously or unconsciously they clearly had no respect for Marrow, and the second he realized he could do much better with THEM, people who are basically aliens to the people of Remnant.

That alone said a lot of how Atlas treated its own if you had an extra appendage.

Bastards.

"What Gudako means, is that Senpai tamed that wild animal that is Berserker Atalanta."

Damnit BB!

Seeing the look of anger on all the Faunus's faces, Gudako acted quickly, as she looked at the Curator, "Mr. Curator, can you stop the video and play back the real reason on why Oni-chan 'tamed' Atalanta and her Berserker self?"

"Certainly Ms. Stark and before any of you from the White Fang or Kuo Kuana get the wrong idea, it's NOT what you think. Please, save your anger and questions until AFTER you see the memory of what happened between the three that lead to the events of Mr. Mazoku, as Ms. BB said 'taming', the Berserker. You must remember that Ms. Atlanata is in fact NOT a Faunus, she is a Heroic Spirit of the Berserker class and MUCH more powerful than any of you could ever hope to in your lifetime and despite having every right to be anger, remember that this is NOT that."

The Faunus, even Ghira grumbled but respectfully settled down, knowing full well that the Curator could enforce his rules without anyone being able to stop him.

This is his dominion after all, and they were all but guests in said dominion. Best not to piss a guy with godlike powers after all, that was just common sense.

The video started and it showed a much younger Xero, in his room, skinny as hell compared to his present body.

"Hiss. Oh fuck, this shit still hurt like hell."

It has been nearly five days since Xero had returned to Chaldea after nearly an entire YEAR trapped within, what Gudako would call, the "Rat Singularity" and honestly, she wouldn't be far off the mark with the name.

Pepper let out a small gasp, as her hands went to her mouth, while Tony hissed at seeing the freshly made whip marks on his son's back and the old bandages covering his now scarred back. Even with them covering his back, it was impossible to miss with the massive blood stains coating them. It wasn't a pretty sight and it was horrifying to witness it in its first, raw form.

It was bad enough seeing the aftermath but seeing in its first state was just horrifying to the two parents.

"Well now that's a disguesting sight to look at." Blunt as ever, Levi spoke what was on his mind, his face scurthing up in disguse, as Banner had to ignore the angry growls the Hulk was admitting within his mind at the sight of "Xero-boy" hurt.

One of the reasons why Banner decide to stay with the Avengers is because the big green guy actually liked Xero and seeing as the green golith was willingly to listen to him.

"I know that this is serious, but big boss kind of looks like Jaune." What Nora said was true, both boys were basically tooth pinks in size and very skinny too. Though Jaune was a bit more...chucker then Xero, seeing as unlike the blonde hunter in training, Xero was so skinny one could see his ribs poking out.

Jaune knew Nora wasn't insulting him and honestly, he didn't even feel any envy at seeing how muscular Xero is now, compared to how he looked like back then. if nothing else, it made the Arc feel better about himself.

After all, if Xero could go from being a toothpick to the proud form he has now, why couldn't he?

Logan simply took out one of his cheap cigarettes and lite it before speaking, "I've long for a long time, been in more war's than anyone here, aside from Xero and Gudako here. Rare few types have i ever seen someone actually getting flogging and walking away from it alive, is something impressive. Especially back in the 1300's, where's even getting a cut would more than likely lead to death."

"It was that bad?" Doctor Oobleck asked, as the savage mutant nodded, "Yep. Though in all fairness, back then the human body hasn't developed the immune system they all share today to fight off diseases that would kill people back in the 1300's. Back then, most people were expected to live too forty at most."

"Much like a huntsman." Peter Port muttered to himself sadly, knowing that a huntsman worth was not in their weapons, skills or even semblance. Nope, their worth was judge by their age, as the ones who lived past thirty, let alone forty, were worth their salt.

"Still, flogging a teenager can't be legal, even back in those times." Steve said, feeling his stomach turn and twist into knots as bile threaten to come out but held it back. The super soldier never approved of torture for ANY reason, no matter who it was done too. Too see someone so young, his friend no less, being tortured by whipping was just downright Sicking to the blonde. The fact it was his friend, only made it that much worse in his mind.

Being the "Soldier out of time" as Loki put it, when Steve came out of the ice and learned what had transpired, he honestly felt alone. All his friends, everyone he knew and everything he held dear was basically gone.

While thankfully it wasn't in the worst-case scenario type of gone, it was just the world Steve knew had moved on without him in it. That everything had grown and grew, while he remained on ice and everyone he loved had passed away.

Save for a few.

While Peggy was getting older, not having many years left, the blonde super soldier was extremely thankful he still had trusted friends like Xero, Gudako, Bucky and Logan here with him, to help him navigate this new world he had stumbled into.

And hey, he got to meet three generations of Stark, so that was something.

"You underestimate the power the Inquisition holds during this time in history Steve. This was the time of the 100-year war with it in full swing, suspicion and distrust were at an all-time high. Not to mention with a sudden sickness plaguing everyone making people very jumpy, especially with all the sickness and drought spreading across the countryside, the Church had more power than anyone in the world at the time...Plus the people were more than happy to give them support, as they were the only ones that could make sense of what was happening at the time."

"Even if that means torturing and killing innocent people?" Tenya asked, disgust clear in the fifteen-year old's voice, as Edge-Shot spoke in a low tone, "Normally i would agree with you kid but given the state of things and how quickly the Black Plague spread, it may have been completely necessary to keep the non-infected people safe and themselves."

It was a dirty job and while the ninja hero didn't like to admit, sometimes certain actions were needed and at times, there was no good choice. Sometimes, you had to pick and choose who to save other the other.

Sometimes, you had to make a choice:

Save one life or risk trying to save everyone and ultimately you save no one.

"Okay, i didn't get an A in history, but i understand HOW they gained all that power to basically do whatever they wanted. My question is, what is so special about the Du Rune's that the Inquisition would risk losing their power, to go after them and why did Xero go to such lengths to protect them with everything else hanging over his head?" Rhodey asked, not at all understanding why they would go to such means to get information out of Tony's son. He heard bits and pieces of what had happened but neither had gone into detail and Rhodey didn't push the issue. But he wondered just what was so important about the two young children that Xero would risk, not only his life but humanity's future, in an attempt to protect the siblings.

"Because Xero's word is bond to him." Olga said simply, getting War Machine to look at her, as she sighed, "Once he makes a promise, he keeps his word, no matter what happens. Even if it costs other people their lives or his own, he'll follow through with his word."

"Even if it could possible costs humanities future?"

"Even then." The white-haired Caster nodded at Styker's question, knowing that he'd probably try to use it against her master in the future but did so anyway. She gave the military leader a sideways glance, "What you and everyone else fails to see, is that Xero WILL keep his word, regardless of the cost. On the plus side, you know you know that you can trust my master to keep his word, once he gives it and honestly, he is a terrible lair. Unlike some people."

Like him.

It went unsaid but everyone could hear the implications, but none wanted to voice it.

Wanting to break the tension, Ororo spoke, "Okay, we understand that but why did the Inquisition purse Hugo and Amicia De Rune. I've looked through the history books and they only mentioned the De Rune's owning some lands in France, being lords and being killed during the 100-year war but that's it."

Gudako and Olga silently looked to one another for a minute, before the redheaded master spoke. "It's complicated and leave it at that. It'll be easier for you to understand, once the memory starts and you'll see it all play out. That was one of the milestones Oni-chan had to endure on our Grand Order quest."

"Given all that has happened, what has been discussed, i have decide that it will be the next Arc we shall view." The Curator said, as everyone nodded, while Tony just stayed silent, feeling anger and frustration whelp up in the pit of his stomach, coiling around his insides like a serpent. Once again, a piece of his son's past was finally revealed to him, and it was horrible.

"Even if i was there for him back then, even if Lilith had told me about Xero, would that have changed anything?"

No.

His genius mind already ran the numbers, crossed all the T's and zeroed all the zero's there were to zero. Even if he had known back then, before the Grand Order, it would have change nothing and it frustrated him to no end. Ultimately, Tony knew that wondering about "What ifs" were pointless and all he could do now, was support his son and daughter in their future endeavors.

That was all a father could do.

But that was irrelevant, as the second he came back, his so called "Personal Nurse" Florence had him put into quarantine, preventing anyone be it Servant or human, seeing him. Which, to be completely fair she had every right and did the best thing she could have done in this type of situation. The time period from which he came back from, was not only riddled with diseases and goddess knows what else, it was the time of the Black Plague.

A deadly disease that had ripped and torn its way through Europe without pause.

That and the fact his back was torn all to hell thanks to Lord DICK-ols's interrogator had torn his back to sherds without mercy and even with his newly awakened Yoki, it didn't heal quite right. Thus, upon returning to Chaldea and being forced to take a bath for five hours straight in disinfect water, then taken to what was rapidly becoming his own personal recovery bed.

It was only today he was allowed to be up and about, to greet his Servants and friends, try to soothe their worries and what not. But because of the nature of his wounds, he was forced to go without a shirt or lay his back on anything till it healed up properly. Florence was very adamant about, which Xero didn't fight her on. Cause honestly, every time something touched his back, it felt like a fire was igniting through every cell in his body.

Tony clenched the arm rests of his seat so hard, they started cracking, as his wife had put her hand on his shoulder, not exactly calming him down, but stopping him from going off the handle. Oh, good lord, when he woke up this morning, this is NOT what he was expecting. AT. ALL.

"Despite that, things around here have changed."

Not in a physical sense but more to the point, the atmosphere, mood and people within Chaldea. There was an emotion that seemed to be shared among everyone, Servant and human alike as they looked at him whenever he walked by:

Respect.

There were several emotions flooding through Chaldea but that one, singular emotion was present on EVERYONE's faces. Everyone, even ones like Gilgamesh and Jalter now held a certain amount of respect for him and if Xero were being honest, it felt good.

"I know how that feels."

Both Arc and Midoriya thought at the same time, feeling kinship with the Mazoku on the feeling of getting respect. Both had been denimed respect most of their life, due to circumstances out of their control. Namely, Izuku being Quirk-less and Jaune's father not training him, no matter how much he pleaded and begged him too.

Guess even legendary warriors have to have a starting line too.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Remy mused, as he recalled the Avengers meeting the mention two. While Jalter really didn't care for them one way or another, Gilgamesh wanted to do his own evaluation of them, to see if they were 'worthy' of being his mongrel's teammates.

Long story short, he wasn't impressed with their skills but their will and determination to go on, even against impossible odds.

While it was a huge blow to see just how powerful the golden clad man was, they all understood how he got the title "Humanity's first hero". He most certainly lived up to his legend and then some.

"What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Seinna asked impatiently, as Gudako merely titled her head forward.

"Keep watching tiger woman."

This was a mission, his mission, one that he completed all on his own without help and even if he nearly died, it still felt good to complete it by himself.

It made him feel a certain amount of pride within himself to be able to do it without anyone's help and while he understood why he needed the Servant's help, it still felt good to complete a self-imposed mission by himself. It felt good, it really did!

"That it does."

Try as Winter might, she couldn't help but sympathize and even empathize with Xero to a certain degree.

Like him, Winter decides to leave the Schnee name, company and house back in her younger days, joining the Atlas military, not only to escape her oppressive father but to prove herself. Not only to prove herself worthy of the name Schnee or prove she was just fine on her own with Jacque's money but to prove to HERSELF that she COULD do what was required of her.

That she, Winter Schnee, didn't need any fancy tech, name, influence or money to prove she could stand on her own two feet. The fact she was not only a specialist and the personal aid to general Ironwood himself, was enough to prove to Winter that she went above and beyond what she original set out to do and you know what?

It DID feel good to accomplish it.

So yeah, she could understand the feeling of accomplish and pride that was currently flooding through the younger version of Xero and for the first time since she came her, she felt a small connection with him, if only for a brief moment, before her morals squashed it.

Regardless of her own feelings, Winter knew that Xero was a criminal.

Maybe not officially, but Winter knew it and sooner or later, they would come to blows. Not to mention the more and more she sees, Winter was becoming convinced that Mazoku and the Avengers would become a threat to Atlas, even Remnant as a whole. No matter what her feelings were, she was a soldier of Atlas, and its safety came first.

With Weiss's safety above all else.

"Now if only i didn't have to deal with this horrible pain in my goddess damned back!"

Ever since he started viewing the memories of his Servants, normal pain had lost all meaning to him, and it was the only thing that kept him from cracking under the pressure of torture was the fact he knew what it was like to be BURNED ALIVED!

"Burned alive?" Ruby all but ran towards Gudako for an explanation, as the older redhead sighed.

"If you just keep watching, Wiz and Boomstick will tell you. Just know, it's one of the prices we as masters must pay for summoning Servants. It's easier to understand that way and for the love of God and goddess, STOP INTERRUPTING THE VIDEO! We're going to be here all day if you keep this up!" Gudako all but yelled the last part, as Ruby 'eep' backward, but did as she was told, head down in shame. Yang glared at her for scaring her younger sister, but the adopted Stark pay the blonde no mind.

"Everyone, even the greatest of us heroes can break under the right circumstances master, it is nothing to be ashamed of. You however, held out longer than anyone in your position would, especially with that skinny body of yours. You held firm and strong under the threat of death and i couldn't be prouder to call you, my master."

"Indeed, they can." Ozpin sighed, as some of the heroes sent the older man looks of sympathy. Gran Torino put in his own two cents.

"True enough but it speaks volumes of those who can come withstand that kind of pressure, even more so for someone who has lived as long as you Professor Ozpin and still be sane."

Or sane enough to act like he does, as Ozpin wasn't too sure if he actually was sane or just suppressing his insanity by...well, who the hell knows. Maybe it was something the God of Light did to him without being told or something else entirely.

All the headmasters knew for certain, was that he wasn't sane, but he wasn't insane either.

Yet.

The fact Scathach, the legendary warrior queen of the Shadow Land, said that to him made him soar with pride and put a smile on his face at her sincere words. Cu had even told him that his teacher never complemented anyone unless they earned it with their own two hands.

However, during the entire day Xero was basically babied by everyone!

Yes, he meant EVERYONE!

That included even Jalter, who by the way liked to cause him trouble just because she liked to do so, had made it a point not to stress him out too much or make any move to touch his flogged back. Bloody hell, Boudica had to make it a point to hover behind him, along with mama Emyia and Artoria to ensure some of the more impulsive/affection Servants like Nobu and Nero from jumping him to get some much-needed hugs from him.

"Weak..." One of Raven's tribesmen said lowly, only to get a glare from Gudako and Tony, shutting him up from the venom in their eyes.

Even if the motherly redhead clearly wanted her own hug, she restrained herself from doing so, even if the Rider looked desperate to do so.

"Damn boss is lucky." Jean thought, both in admiration and a bit of jealousy. While it was fine to feel a little envies, the ash haired man knew better then to let it take complete control of his thoughts. That lead to madness, betrayal and death.

Shockingly enough, it was Kiyohime who had stopped ones like Nero from doing so and not because she was being her usual jealous self but in a very rare moment of clarity, knew that it would cause her dear master great pain if someone did touch it.

Medea so badly wanted to use her healing magic to help him, but Florence wouldn't let her, simply because they had no idea what his Yoki would do in the event Medea attempted to forceful heal his wounds. His magic and Yoki were slowly merging, not becoming one mind you but merging to the point the two energies wouldn't come into conflict within his body.

So, it wouldn't tear his body apart.

"I'm guessing this was something common in the Zee's early days." Banner asked, as Gudako nodded.

"Yep. Back then, when Miria was still alive, some of her children died because of the conflicting energies colliding within their bodies, tearing their bodies apart from the inside out as a result. Bad as it sounds, that's what caused them to create the Arcane Arts. So, they could learn to not only channel their magic through their bodies, but its main purpose was also to merge the two energies together safely, where's they wouldn't hurt the user."

"So, the Arcane Arts were developed by Xero-sensei's clan, to help channel their Yoki and magic together without killing themselves?" Irina asked for clarification, as Gudako nodded.

"Yep. Back then, they didn't even realize just what they could do with magic powering their bodies, nor how enhanced they would become in combat. That was just a bonus and later, turned out to be quite a boon during the first war of Magus vs. Non-Magi, even if in the end neither side won. Outnumber the Magus may have been, but the non-Magi were clearly outmatched by said Magus."

Huh, you learn something new every day and it made him the prefect person to teach her and Xenovia the arts.

Medea huffed and growled but reluctantly did nothing, not wanting to make things worse than they already were. He would have to remember to thank her properly later, after he got back on his feet. But that didn't stop her from making potions and such to help speed his recovery along, much to Florence's annoyance, as she believed magic and healing should in fact NOT go together.

Strangely enough but seeing as she was a Berserker class Servant, he supposed it made some sense.

Even if Florence had this weird thing about not believing magic had any place in medical field, it doesn't change the fact she was right about one thing. There was no telling how his Yoki would react to another magic, even if that magic is that of a Servants. His magic and blood were already tainted by his Yoma blood and from what he had heard from Roman, his blood was becoming highly toxic to humans.

If Miria knew about this or his mother, neither one ever told him.

"Hold on a minute, if Miria was his first ancestor, wouldn't she long be dead?" The president asked, as Gudako simply spoke.

"Time travel, remember? When he went back in time to fix his body, he had to get blood from the original source of his Yoma power to stabilize his body. But that's all i know, as Oni-chan and Miria had a private talk of sorts. He never told me what it was and i didn't ask him about it. Mostly because it's none of my business and i honestly don't it would change much anyway if i knew."

Yawning to himself, Xero laid down on his bed, having to have to rearranged so he could sleep on his stomach and wearing nothing but boxers, Xero felt sleep creep into his being, as he laid his head on the pillow-

Knock, knock.

"Master? Are you awake?"

Blinking the sleep from his eyes, Xero turned his head to the door and spoke, "It's open!"

Even if he was half asleep, it was a surprise to see Atalanta, both Berserker and Archer, enter his room with Archer holding some kind of cream?

"Oh. I'm sorry, i didn't know you were-"

"I wasn't. I just laid down, so you didn't wake me up."

Xero cut off the Archer, as the Berserker looked everywhere but at him, as he could see...guilt? Why did so look guilty? He was smart and had a photographic memory, but he didn't recall anything that would have made either huntress feel or look guilty about. He knew his relationship with the legendary huntress wasn't what one would call good, but he didn't think it was bad.

Or at least not too bad, as she had sneered and mocked him from time to time but then again, so did Gilgamesh and Jalter, so nothing new there.

Given her history and past, Xero didn't want to try and push the issue.

"Berserker made these gels to help speed up your recovery and ensure you wouldn't get an infection from your wounds master. Mash isn't available to do that or rewrap new bandages, so we volunteered to do it."

Okay that was weird.

It wasn't like Mash to miss out on a chance to help him or Gudako, even if she had to do paperwork or anything of the like. But then again, that's probably why she wasn't here then, doing another errand for someone else.

Mash was a sweetheart and a precious bean like that.

"That, she is." Pepper smiled at the mention of the Sheidler. No matter what it was, big or small, the purple eyed girl was ready to help in any way she could.

"Alright." Sighing, he got up from his laid position and sat on his bed, as the Archer walked behind him and begin to pull off the old bandages from his body slowly. The Berserker version of Atalanta hadn't even looked at him, even with her sideways sneer or snarl present on her pretty face. The duel haired woman was even shuffling on her feet in a rare show of embarrassed or nervousness, he wasn't sure.

The young teen hissed again, when he felt the Archer slowly remove the old bandages and only when did she begin to apply the cream to his wounds, did the Berserker finally speak, "Master i... we need to talk and i need to apologize to you. My behavior and how i've been treating you since my summoning has been unacceptable and deplorable for anyone to act, least of all, a follower of Lady Artemis."

"Berserker, you don't-"

"I'm not finished!" The Berserker cut off her master, now looking him directly in the eyes, having to bend her knee's so she could be eye level with him, "I wanted to say i am Sorry! I am sorry for always mocking you, i am sorry for thinking you were just some perverted teen but most of all, i am sorry for being such a complete, unreasonable, jerkish person and for being just a plain bitch to you when you've done nothing to earn my ire. But i let my past and pain of what happened to me blind me to what kind of person you are, someone who is more then worthy to be my master. It is when a person is on death's doorstep and when you believe you are going to die, is a person's true nature revealed. But even the threat of death did not stop you from doing everything you could to protect Amicia and Hugo, even if your death meant that humanity had a greater chance of being destroyed. You could have left anytime, but you didn't and even knowing that you could die at any second, you stood by those two till the end. Watching everything you went through, what you had to do in order to protect those two made me realize just how unfair i have been to you and i wish to make amends. Therefore, i would like to offer you my life, my strength, my bow, my body and my loyalty, not just as a Servant but as a follower of Artemis. That is, if you will have me...my master."

Everyone's eyebrows raised to their hairline at hearing the Berserker's words and oath. It honestly sounded like what you expect tp hear from a knight. The way she spoke, her wording and the way she kneeled, reminded everyone of a knight swearing fealty to their lord.

Adam scoffed at this, feeling like he was seeing another Faunus "betraying her race" and all that nonsense.

Asshole.

"Almost sounds like how Kacchan treated me back then." Izuku idly mused to himself, his hand moving across the notebook, despite his mind wondering to memories of his childhood. One that would make anyone question why the ever-living hell Izuku keep putting up with the blonde for as long as he has.

Or why the people working at the green bean's old school are not only still employed but not rotting in a jail cell.

"Oh Brothers, gag me with a spoon."

But not everyone found the scene touching or were even in awe at the Servant's declaration of loyalty and one of those people, was Vernal. The strong lived, the weak die and serve the strong. The weak were just tools for them to use as they please and if they didn't like it, then they shouldn't have been so weak in the first place.

If they were too weak, then they deserve to die.

That was the law of nature, natural selection.

This is what Vernal was raised to believe in and while that last part might not have been a part of the boss's belief, the belief of the Branwen tribe but the point remained the same. The weak had their place and to hear someone as strong as this Berserker woman submit herself, to chain herself to someone clearly WEAKER then then her, made the brown-haired woman's stomach turn.

Whether she realized it or not, she was spitting on everything the Branwen tribe stood for and by the look of rage on the bull horned Faunus, he was having similar thoughts.

"Maybe more along the lines of one of their own betraying the Cause or whatever other bullshit like that. Perhaps we can use this against him?"

It was food for thought.

Oh...oh, well now, this was unexpected.

Xero was stunned into silence, listening to the Berserker's words, hearing the emotions of regret, shame and even admiration in her voice but the one constant emotion in her voice was sincerity. The Berserker went so far as to get into a kneeling position and bowing her head, to prove just how serious she was about this.

"Just like a knight of old." Nezu mused, a small smile forming on his face at the sight. Many of the heroes were thinking the same lines as Nezu, as were several others. But some, weren't too happy to hear it.

"Doing just to make up for how she acted? No, that's bullshit, there's more going on here...How the hell does he do it?" Cinder Fall was one of those people, as she grinded her teeth together, feeling like she missed out on a chance to get a very powerful pawn. She was no fool, no matter how much she threatened, bribed or manipulated, she couldn't gain the same type of loyalty this woman was giving Mazoku.

This woman was for all intents and purposes, giving the sliver-streaked teen a blank check to do with her as he pleased, and she completely trusted him. The only person she seen give this type of loyalty to anyone, was Tyrian to Salem.

But the Faunus was insane and really, truly believed Salem was a goddess, while this woman was very much sane.

As much as she hated to admit, Cinder knew that no one had this kind of loyal to her. Emerald might have loved her, but she still feared her, she she should, and Mercury was just hired help. The same goes for Adam.

Despite his reputation and skills as a leader, Cinder knew the Faunus ruled with an iron fist. The Vale's White Fang may be loyal to Adam, but it wasn't out of love, it was out of fear. Atalanta Alter, the Servants, the soldiers of SHEILD, even the Avengers...there wasn't a speck of fear among them.

There was only love and respect.

It made Cinder want to scoff, in her mind the only way to lead was with fear and power. That was how Salem ruled and even Tyrian, for all his insanity, knew even HE wasn't safe from Salem's wrath if he displeased her enough. That is what Cinder believed:

Fear and power.

"But Mazoku doesn't do that, and he has his followers iron clad loyalty. How?! How does he do it?!" Mazoku said it himself, those Servants could easily snap him in half like a twig, so why is someone so strong, so loyal to someone far weaker than them? It didn't make any sense! How could they allow themselves to be lowered when they were clearly superior?!

He didn't even need to hear what the woman had to say, as he could feel her emotions through their bond, how much shame she felt when he returned. No, even before then, after he started traveling with the siblings, he begins to feel both Atalanta's shame in her actions before he returned to Chaldea. It was like that annoying tick in the back of your mind, one where you knew it was there but couldn't quite figure out what the hell it was.

Till now.

Now, it all made sense as to what he was feeling.

"Yes, well i would like to but it seems I've left my Scepter in my other pocket dimension."

That was what he wanted to say but seeing the hope and need to make amends in the Berserker's eyes, he decides to hold back his snark.

"Berserker, no Atalanta i never held anything against you for why you acted the way you did. You have every right to be wary of me, i make it a point to read up on every Servant's history that i summon, if only to get an idea of what i'm dealing with, so i wouldn't accidently offend them or not. So, your attitude towards me and how you acted were more than justified."

"You could say that again." Sasha muttered to herself, remembering reading up on the legendary huntress's exploits. Hell, it was Atalanta's legend that inspired the honey eyed woman to take up archery in school, then later on, sniper training.

So, meeting the legendary huntress for the first time was like a dream come true for Sasha and was more than happy to work alongside the living legend in the Battle For New York. That and the fact she got a magical upgrade to her weapons honestly made Sasha feel like she was in one of those fantasy stories she read as a child.

Hell, she might as well be living in one right now.

"B-but master we-"

"Now I'M not finished." Xero cut off the Archer, causing the duo to fall silent, as Xero slowly sat in a seated position, much to the Archer's worry but he brushed it off, "I won't claim to be the perfect master, never have and never will, but let's be honest who could be the perfect master? I'm honestly doing everything i can to hold everything together and yes, i will be honest, you are acting less like a, well less of a bitch would certainly be helpful. But then again, it would be a hell of a lot easier if Gilgamesh was less of an arrogant asshole and Jalter didn't snap at the littlest thing. Bloody hell, it would be easier if Kiyohime wasn't a yandere and Astolfo and Bradamante weren't such idiots but then again when has it ever been easy. If there is one thing, I've learned about being a master, it's that you have to accept everything about the Servant you summon, flaws and all. So, what i am trying to say is that i understand why you did it and if this is how you want to do this, then i will accept your loyalty, huntress of Artemis, Atalanta the Huntress."

The Berserker and Archer smiled, as the Alter kept her head bowed before their shared master.

"You won't regret it my master. But there is one thing i need you to do for."

"What is it?"

"I... I need you to be the one that controls my anger and rage. I fear i will only end up hurting those i intend to protect, so i need you to be the one that holds the chain to my hate, to take control of me when i lose myself."

"And that's the end of it. As you can see, the huntress had given herself completely to my young friend of her own free will. Whether you believe it or not, is up to you but it shall not change anything. But seeing as some of you simply REFUSE to see it, you'll have to go. NOW." With a snap of his fingers, the Curator sent Adam, his troops and shockingly enough, Jacques away as well. This got many eyebrows raised, as many expected the older man to send ALL the White Fang away but most certainly not Jacques too.

Why not Sienna Khan or even Whitely?

As if reading their minds, which he didn't as the Curator was good at reading people, answered their unasked questions, "Unlike you Miss Khan, Mr. Schnee, Adam, his followers and Jacques would no doubt attempt to cause discord amongst you all, preventing the very war we're trying to avoid. While i had hope that perhaps, this viewing would discourage Mr. Taurus from trying anything foolish, i was wrong. It appears that THIS version of Mr. Taurus is beyond saving, all that is left is a Grimm in Faunus skin. He is as Miss Belladonna would say, the embodiment of 'spite'. Had someone interfered years ago, maybe offered him genuine help, he could have been turned off the destruction path he is dead set on following but there is little point in wondering. He has chosen his path and must now pay the consequences of said actions. As for you Mr. Schnee, you are still young and still have a chance to escape the shadow of your father's sins, i suggest you take it young man, learn what your father would not and grow into a better man than him. As for you, Seinna Khan, i suggest you deal with him and his followers quickly. If you don't, a civil war will erupt, destroying everything Ghira and you have attempted to build. It won't just be the White Fang or humans that suffer, it will be your fellow Faunus as well, namely those that either don't wish to fight or simply because he can."

"I understand." The dark-skinned woman sighed, as she placed her head in her hands, "I knew he was growing more and more unstable, but to actually attack our own people? How could i not see it? I should have done more."

"What could you have done Seinna?" Kali asked, despite stealing the organization she and her husband created, that didn't stop them from being friends. Even if for the first few years, that 'friendship' was as cold as ice, "That boy is good at hiding his true intentions and try as we might, many of our own people have been consumed by hate, the same way he has."

"Hate breeds hate." Gudako said simply, getting both women to look at her, "It's no one's fault but people's own stupidity and arrogance in thinking they can do whatever they want to people, before someone snaps. Even if a lot of hate is because of the SDC, even if there are laws that are supposed to protect your people from discrimination, it won't change the fact people will hate someone else for whatever petty reasons they are. Whether they are Faunus, gay, black, Jewish, alien, or even magical, so long as there is someone different in the world, someone else will hate them for it and in some extreme cases, try to kill them for simply being born that way."

"You speak from experience?"

The redhead nodded at the large form of Blake's father, "I do. While your world has history of hate against Faunus, we've had entire world wars fought over religion and a person's skin color. Hell, more than a couple of battles and massacres, have happened because we Magus revealed ourselves. Whether it was for selfishness or selflessness, its typical ends in bloodshed but we're still here, we're still pushing to make a better world for our people. In fact, besides the Magus, mutants are people that you would get along with just fine. Make no mistake, what you Faunus go through, even today is bad but honestly, it could be a hell of a lot worse. Your history with the humans might be bad but your much better off than us. Cause as far as i know, you've guys never had to deal with a Hitler or the Nazi types before, have you or Witch Hunters?"

"Hitler?" Ilia looked confused, as did a good number of the Remnant natives, as Earth's natives sighed. As bad a Remnant was, with the Grimm and Salem, they were the lucky ones in not having two entire world wars and the Nazi's running around. The fact they apparently didn't have their own version of the man, made them very lucky indeed.

"Let me put it this way, the way Adam is acting and his beliefs, he's well on his way to becoming Remnant's version of Hitlar. He-"

"You know what, let's just get back to the video." Olga said, cutting off Gudako as she did not want to go further down the rabbit hole that was the very for real possibility that the bull horned man may very well become another Adolf Hitler or at least, Remnant's version of the evil man. From the reports they had 'acquired' (IE stole from the Atlas network) the redhead was coming very come to crossing the threshold of being a terriost to a genocide manic.

Something that needed to be nipped in the bud before it was too late and it spiraled out of control, they already had enough problems as it was.

That and she did not want them to pry further into their history and remember the time her husband was sent to an alternative world, where the Nazi's actually won the war.

Infinite number of realities, infinite number of possibilities.

It was better that they don't mention that, nor the reality where Hitler wasn't a genocide manic and actually found the cure for cancer. More than likely, as her master would say, in the immortal words of Rick Sanchez:

Don't think about it

Even if a certain cat Faunus wanted nothing more than to speak out, she bites her tongue, knowing it would lead her nowhere. While she wanted to protest, to fight for her kind's equality, it was mostly the right to choose what they want to do. No matter what Blake thought, the Berserker and Archer made their choice to be 'chained' to their human master, no matter how much it basically spit on all the efforts the Faunus sacrificed.

Cause that's what she was doing, intentionally or unintentionally, that woman was making the biggest insult to their kind by being a willingly pet to a HUMAN! Did all the blood, death, sweat and tears they shed in order to gain equality mean nothing to her?!

Did all the Faunus that die in the Schnee mines because of Jacques cutting everything down to the barest minimal, allowing them to be buried and forgotten in the snow of Atlas mean nothing to her?!

Did Ilia's parents dying in the mines because of the collapsing mines mean nothing to her?!

Did Adam suffering and falling into madness, all for the cause of their people mean nothing to her?!

Did all the years, the FIRST years of her own LIFE she spent trying to change the statues que mean NOTHING AT ALL?!

DID ALL INNOCENT THE FAUNUS TODAY, STILL SUFFERING UNDER ALL THE RACISIM MEAN NOTHING?!

WHAT THE WHITE FANG DID, WHAT SHE DID FOR YEARS TO ACHIEVE THEIR IDEAL DREAM WAS WRONG AND IT'S CLEARLY OKAY FOR HUMANS TO ATTACK FAUNAS FOR NO OTHER REASON THEN THEY CAN BUT IF FAUNUS DEFEND THEMSELVES, EVERYONE CRACKS DOWN ON THEM!

WAS IT ALL HER BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS AND SUFFERING MEAN NOTHING?!

IT WASN'T FAIR!

Oh, Brothers forbid if a FAUNAS did half the things Mazoku did, they'd be demonized and hunted down like an animal by everyone alive but if a HUMAN does all this, it's all okay. It didn't matter cause a HUMAN did it, because everyone believed humans were better than Faunus. Cause Faunus were just animals in their eyes and not even worth a second thought.

Even if what Adam was doing was wrong and it was her responsibility to take him down, THAT DIDN'T MEAN SHE WOULD ALLOW THE MISTREATMENT OF FAUNUS TO GO UNHEARD!

STARTING WITH THOSE FAUNUS MAZOKU CLEARLY ENSLAVED!

"Even if mom and dad don't say it out loud, i know their just as bothered as i am, this can't stand what has become of her but what can i do? It's clear she won't listen to me, too brainwashed and blinded by her own loyalty to him to see the evil clearly. Not to mention this knight oath sounds like its serious thing and she won't break it on a whim. If it's the type of oath I read in those books, then they'll die before they dare break their oath."

But maybe they can alter it somehow, surely Atalanta can't be happy serving a human, right? Not after all the injustice their kind has faced, Blake would just have to remind her of that.

Maybe then, they could truly find a way to gain true equality.

"Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, Berserker. These are the seven main classes of Servant and in a normal Holy Grail war, only these types of Servants could be summoned."

Wiz said, as Boomstick cut in with a cheeky grin, "In a normal Holy Grail war that is, as the Grand Order was anything BUT normal. You see, there are other class of Servants known as Extra class Servants. They go by the following: Ruler, Avenger, Moon Cancer, Sheidler, Alter Ego, Foreigner and Pretender."

"Moon Cancer? Like the one that BB woman is?" The winged hero asked the bunny one, as Rumi shrugged.

"Probably. Still think it's a wired name, what does Moon Cancer even mean?"

"Uh, Boomstick, you're forgetting three class?"

"Really? Are Beasts class Servants even considered a class Servant and what's the other two?" Boomstick asked, confused, as Wiz answered.

"Despite their unique statues, they are still Servants. As for the second one, while not technically a class on its own, there is another type of Servant: The Alter Servants and Counter Guardians. Oh, and Pseudo-Servants as well, though i don't really think they can be considered a type of Servant, but they are most certainly unique."

"Alter? Like Jalter?" The French ambassador wondered out loud, as his fellow ambassadors looked just as confused as him.

"Ah, well those Servants don't technically have a class, as they can appear from any type of class. Like that last one, Counter Guardians, appear in two separate classes: Assassin and Archer. Namely the son and father duo: Shirou Emyia of the Archer class and the Magus Killer, Kiritsugu Emyia of the Assassin class."

The screen showed the duo, allowing everyone to see the clear resemblance between the duo, as Wiz pushed on, "Now, these Counter Guardians aren't like normal Heroic Spirits, as they are a part of the Counter Force: A safety device formed by a World to defend itself against extinction and is synonymous with the World it represents. The concept of Counter Force is central to the world, and there are two types: Gaia and Alaya. Gaia is the will of the Earth, the planet's intrinsic wish to survive and prosper. Alaya, on the other hand, is the collective unconscious will of mankind to avoid extinction. As humans are creatures of Earth, Alaya was a component of Gaia. However, as mankind began to develop independent from nature, it became independent. With this divergence, Alaya is no longer aligned with Gaia and potential conflict can being called "the will of the planet/mankind", the Counter Forces bear no emotions. They are described as passive spirals of energy that respond to threats of planet destruction or human extinction. The Counter Forces are always active, constantly steering mankind and the planet away from potential danger. Usually, the Counter Forces act indirectly, similar to how a Ruler class Servant acts as a sort of judge for the Holy Grail War."

"I'm guessing this 'Alaya' person is somehow connected to the Throne of Heroes?" Fury asked, as Gudako nodded, as Olga began to explain.

"Indeed. Even though we don't know much about her for certain, what we have gathered is that Alaya is the one that creates the Servants or at the very least, is the gate keeper of sorts to entering the Throne of Heroes. To be honest, we don't know what she truly is, but we do know is that she is connected to the Throne and the Holy Grail in some way we don't know or understand. At least, not fully."

"Is she dangerous?" Shockingly enough, it was Steve who asked this. The super soldier was known to give everyone the benefit of a doubt but that didn't mean he shied away from asking the hard questions, as the white-haired woman paused for a second before answering.

"Dangerous to humanity? Not exactly, as she and Gaia need to keep humanity going, cause if we go, they go. But that doesn't mean she's on our side either, as we have learned from the memories of Avenger Xero, she is dangerous, manipulative and doesn't care for anything or anyone. She needs to keep humanity alive but only just."

"What the hell does that mean?" Olga sighed at Enji.

"What it means, is that if humanity has to limp along, barely alive but alive then that's good enough for her. Even if millions are killed, she wouldn't bat an eyelash, so long as humanity lives on."

"Solange die Menschheit weiterlebt, huh?"

So long as humanity lives on, huh

The German ambassador spoke in his native tongue, all but spitting it out but not at Olga. The woman said nothing, as Gudako spoke, "That's just how she is. What can you do?"

"So, if I'm understanding this right, these Counter Guardians are basically enforcers, the people who clean up the shit we humans make, right?" Levi asked, as Gudako nodded.

"That and eliminating any and all threats to humanity. Seeing as humanity itself was destroyed by the Demon God Pillars, the Counter Force had no choice but to allow me and Oni-chan to summon their enforcers. Emyia, even though he is a Counter Guardian, kept his original personality unlike most. As for his father, he's...sigh, let's just say he is complicated, and he pretty much became emotionless BEFORE he became a Servant. But before that, he was the Magus Killer. Killing those that went too far with their craft and other assholes that hurt others just because they can, like you." Gudako sent that last part to Raven, who growled at the redhead.

"Whatever brat. If they were strong-"

"Blah, blah, blah, blah." The redhead mocked, making the 'blah, blah' Montion with her hand, "Save if for someone who cares. But you know, if you really were strong, you'd be picking fights with stronger people like the Mistral huntsman or even Atlas military for their goodies, or even other bandit tribes so you be the only one that can threaten other villages and not preying on people who barely know how to use a gun. That's what daddy did when he realized people had stolen his weapons. He may hit like a girl, but he did the smart thing and used his strengths to cover his weakness by building the Iron Man suit. Oh! That's right, that is the SMART thing to do and people like you are just too dumb to do it. Then again, you barely have two brain cells to rub together to begin with, so i suppose it's no surprise there."

She ended with a mocking voice and grin, as Raven and her tribesman damn near bolted towards her, ready to tear her throat out for daring to say they were weak. They were the Branwen tribe! No one was stronger than them!

NOBODY!

Raven was ready to throw all caution to the wind, why shouldn't she? Her plans were in ruins, Ozpin knew, hell everyone that could threaten her now knew her dirty secret and no doubt Salem would know soon enough that she was the Spring Maiden. Fine, whatever she would deal with them all in time but the fact they were all mocking her, despite being one of the strongest beings on the planet was NOT okay.

These fools dared to mock her?!

HER!

Raven Branwen, the Bandit Queen and Spring Maiden, she would not stand for it!

"Fuck it! I'll-"

POP

Without warning, Raven, who was preparing to draw upon her magic, vanished along with all her followers, as the Curator held a dull look on his face, but it was clear to everyone, he was not happy as he held up one hand in a clenched fist.

"Shall we continue?" He asked, as he wiped the imagery dust of his vest, as no one dared speak a word. Everyone knew that the here, the Curator's word was law, and it was only now doing they get a glimpse to see what happens to those that dare try to break his rules.

"He's scary." Ochako whispered to her two best friends, as the duo nodded, even if Tenya personally believed Gudako was right to say what she said. Sure, not in the same wording but the fact remained, attacking those clearly weaker than you and had no idea how to fight didn't make you strong.

It only made you a villain and a bully.

"Just like the Hero Killer."

The blue haired teen clenched his fist, feeling anger flash through his veins before he pushed it down. None of these people earned his wrath and he was not a villain that preyed upon those that couldn't defend themselves.

No way.

"Raven...where you are always this bad or has your fear of Salem wrapped you so much?" Tai, who had been very quiet and watching everything happening could only sigh sadly at seeing his ex-wife get zapped away. Seriously, where was the feisty, strong girl, who knew no fear, whom he fell in love with at Beacon?

Was it all just a lie, a facade?

Was the Raven they knew back in their Beacon days the true Raven or was this twisted, fearful, spiteful woman the real Raven? Did her own fears twist her to such a point, or did she do most of the wrapping herself?

Tai didn't know and honestly, he couldn't find it in himself to really care anymore.

She made her choice, she went back to a life of a bandit, and he moved on with the true love of his life, Summer and their two beautiful daughters. We all make our own choices, and they would have to face the consequences.

"Try as you might Raven, you can't just run away from the consequences, not this time."

"Yeah, well that's not confusing at all. Moving on, Wiz what the hell are Ruler's? Are they those wooden things i used in third grade to measure things with?" Boomstick asked again, as his co-host spoke.

"Not quite Boomstick. The Servants of the Ruler class are a non-standard Servant Class brought forth for the purpose of presiding over Holy Grail Wars. The Fuyuki Grail utilizes its own logic to sense when actions are encroaching upon its authority, and regardless of other mediators like those from the Church, it brings forth Ruler to protect the concept of the Holy Grail War itself. In the case of the reserve system of the Greater Grail being activated in the Great Holy Grail War, Ruler takes neither side of the battle, but only acts in the interest of the Grail. The Ruler-class Servants are given Command Spells for the other Servants. A Ruler is also summoned to preserve the laws of Heroic Spirits to ensure they won't be violated, such as the law of "the dead not leading the living", touted as the greatest law of Heroic Spirits, and to maintain human history by preserving the illusion behind the Age of Gods so that people do not know about the truth behind it. The role of a Ruler is to arbitrate the truth and adjudicate all things in order to maintain human history. The criteria to be summoned for the Ruler Class is impartiality and possessing no desire for the Holy Grail. Those who qualify are most often Saints, and any Ruler summoned to preside over a Holy Grail will be a Saint under normal conditions. Within other systems like the FATE System, others who meet the criteria can be summoned."

"In other words, Rulers are basically overseers of the Holy Grail War, not only to protect the humans not involved but to ensure the summoned Servants don't try to pull a fast one. Some Servants have tried in the past and thanks to their statues as a Ruler, they have absolute authority over the other Servants and thus, making them ideal to stopping these rampaging Servants. The prefect embodiment of a Ruler class Servant is none other than old Reep's very first partner: Jeanne D'Arc!"

The screen changed, to show the beautiful, buxom blonde with a bright, innocent smile in her face as she proudly held her flag up in her hands, a sign of victory.

"Hey Jauney, is she one of your sisters? She's got the same shade of blonde and last name as your family." Nora asked, seeing the striking resemblance between her leader and Xero's first Servant, as Jaune started wide eyed at the woman on screen. Ren hummed, as Nora brought up a very good point.

"There is a strong resemblance between the two of you Jaune. Do you think there might be a connection between your family and this Jeanne?"

"I-i don't know. She looks like she could be one of us but i don't, i don't think...she's not but...i think i remember my dad telling me one of our ancestors was actually named Jeanne D'Arc, one of the first Arc's in fact. I, Miss Gudako, is it-"

"Possible that our Jeanne is possibility related to your family the same way Ruby is actually kin to Oni-chan? Yes, it is very possible Jaune." Gudako answered, blowing Jaune's mind at the possibility of having family from an entirely different world. Though that didn't stop Ruby from hugging Jaune, claiming they were now "Extended family" as Xero was her cousin and now that he could possibly be related to one of his Servants, that made him family as well.

"Vomit boy as family huh?" Yang mused to herself with a small smile, before nodding to herself, "Meh, why not? He's already claimed the clumsy but dependable brother role anyway."

"Interestingly enough, what could be considered the exact opposite of the Ruler class Servants is the Avenger class Servants. Avenger is a class founded on vengeance, born from powerful resentment that does not fade even after death. Rather than revenge, the primary characteristic behind them is avenging. Angra Mainyu says there are two types of Avengers. Those who 'scorn love' like Angra Mainyu are described with 'Those born from hatred speak of love... and they would show compassion after experiencing cruelty.' Those who "burn with pure hatred" like Edmond Dantès are described with "Those born from love speak of hatred. Those who experienced happiness meet their end through betrayal." The common point between the two types is an attachment to humans. Being fixated on humans causes them to be unable to evolve beyond humans, so Angra Mainyu describes their hatred as "an endless cycle of what goes around comes around. In fact, Angra Mainyu once stated that he lacks any particular grudges against others, but many have grudges against him. For Gorgon, she's uncertain of why she is an Avenger, feeling desire for revenge burning within her Saint Graph, but unable to tell what she hates. She feels the need to kill and devour all living things due to the infuriating thoughts stemming from that unknown target of hatred. Upon seeing her other self in a dream, she wonders if it's telling her to seek revenge against humans and the very world that led to her downfall." Wiz said, as Boomstick spoke next.

"Unless your Avenger Xero, as he knew who to hate but sadly the present Xero was the one to get a full force of ALL the hatred he felt in his heart, when he attacked Chaldea. Even if he was attempting to stop the resuscitation of humanity, it wasn't actually out of hatred for humanity but rather, trying to stop his younger self from going down the same path he went down. Ironically, he introduced his younger self to a whole new level of pain he never knew existed, but he was defeated and despite that, Avenger Xero got the last laugh, as present Xero was able to kill all those who had betrayed him. But one prefect example of an Avenger is the Altered version of Jeanne D'Arc known as Jeanne D'Alter. Seriously, seeing her makes me think that someone quite literally sucked all the hate out of Jeanne and stuck it into Jalter's body, seeing as how nice she is."

The screen changed slightly, as the background only changed completely, as Jeanne went under a rapider transformation. Her blonde hair turning sliver, her blue eyes changing into a hellish yellow with silts pupils, her skin taking an inhuman pale and her clothing darkener from her normally blue outfit, as her gentle smile became more vicious, dangerous. Her smile becoming toothy and sharp, as she took on a more aggressive stance, rather than defensive one.

"So, if I'm understanding this right, Avengers are basically people who have been wrong and betrayed by those they trusted or loved?" Fury asked, trying to understand what he just heard, as Gudako thought for a second, trying to figure out how to put it before she spoke.

"Yes...It's hard to explain but the best why i can describe it is how Jeanne originally died. If you recall, Jeanne D'Arc or Joan of Arc as she was known back then, was accused of treason, heresy, witchcraft, basically anything they could use to discredit her. The bottom line is that despite everything she did for them, all the blood, sweat, tears, years and friends she lost in defense of the people of her land, her leaders turned on her. For no better reason then they could and the fact she became more popular than them. They didn't like that and decide to get rid of her before she could become a threat to their power...regardless of the fact that she sacrificed a lot to keep them safe." Her frown deepened, as she glared at the world leaders, "THAT is the crux of what makes an Avenger an Avenger. The anger, the hate, the RAGE, the AGONY they feel is so potent, so strong it can destroy the world if it is left unchecked. Hell, you all seen what happened to Avenger Xero in the future, what leads to Oni-chan mistrusting anyone and everyone so greatly. Your actions, your fear of his power is what leads him to becoming an Avenger in the first place. Avengers are beings built upon their hatred and rage towards those who had wrong them and will go to any length they need to, to see their vengeance accomplished. Oni-chan and i learned that the hard way, when we went on our first official mission for Chaldea to Orleans against Jalter, funny enough, that was our first encounter with an Avenger class Servant. Let this be a warning to you all, even if you by some chances are able to kill Oni-chan, don't think that will kill him for good. The last time people tried, after killing off his entire family i might add, it almost led to the end of the world. There are no ifs or buts about it, you betray him, you die. You don't, well, then everything is good. Really, i for one do not understand what is so hard in just being a decent human being, it's so simple! Don't be a jackass, if you fear Oni-chan will turn on you, then you're as dumber than a box of rocks, its...it's THAT simple! So, for the love of God and the goddess, don't be stupid, moronic, boneheaded idiots that let their pride override their good sense. Traitors and betrayers always get what they deserve, no matter who they are, remember that before you do something beyond stupid."

The redhead spat the last part the world leaders, namely ones like senator Kelly and Stryker, a dark smile. It didn't take a genius to figure out why, even if they somehow were able to kill Xero, it wouldn't as there was a chance he would simply come back as a Servant.

A powerful being full of hate and rage in his heart with enough power to destroy the world.

"That is of course, not including the fact Oni-chan's Servants would probably do it in his stead."

There was a reason why Servants were only summoned during a Holy Grail War, why it only lasted a month at most and one of the reasons why summoning more than one Servant per person was all but unheard of, but it wasn't her place to explain. Even if that last one was mostly due to the fact it takes a massive amount of magical energy to summon a Servant, that wasn't including powering the Servant in battle, but she ultimately said nothing. Not when the Wiz and Boomstick would more than likely explain the dangerous of summoning a Servant.

Let alone an army of Servants.

It would be a million times easier for them to explain it and for her, not having to explain things.

"Quick question, if Xero is able to become a Servant cause he's a modern-day hero, does that apply to the rest of the Avengers?" Sam asked, as Gudako nodded before she pointed at to Steve.

"Sheidler." No doubt because he used a shield, so that was a no brainer. Her finger then slid to Clint, "Archer." The blonde-haired man chuckled, not at all surprised as Natasha was next, "Assassin." The older redhead snorted. Figures. Next was Banner, "Berserker." Deep in his mind, Bruce could feel the Hulk grunting in approval at his class designation. Gudako then pointed towards Storm, "Caster." The dark-skinned mutant thought for a second before nodding, understanding how her mutation could be considered 'magic' to some. She was seen as a goddess in Africa after all. Gudako paused for a minute before speaking, "I suppose Thor could be considered a Lancer class, seeing as to be qualified as a Lancer is to be skilled with a mild range weapon, maybe Remy too. The fact he's a god doesn't mean much, as Oni-chan has a Goddess as a Lancer class Servant."

She was of course speaking of Ereshkigal, but they didn't need to know that.

"What about me kiddo?" Tony asked, as his adopted daughter smiled.

"Rider."

"Rider?"

"Riders are known to be experts of the mount be it flesh or metal and seeing as the Iron Man suit is both your weapon and a method of transportation, you are a Rider. Lancer, Saber, Archer and Caster are all out seeing as you can't use magic, not to mention i highly doubt you ever picked up a sword, spear or bow in your life."

Tony frowned but nodded in understanding but had to ask, "So why not Berserker or Assassin? Hell, why not Sheidler or Ruler for that matter?"

"I know you can be impulsive daddy, but you've never really, truly lost it and i highly doubt you would willingly trade your sanity for power." He wouldn't, as he very much liked being sane thank you very much. "That also rules out Avenger as well, seeing as you have to be beyond vengeful and have the type of hatred that can destroy the world, which you don't."

"Fair but what about Ruler class?"

The redhead paused again, thinking it over before saying, "No and not because i don't think you'd fit in Ruler class, it's just that there a very few Rulers around, let alone to summon. I might but wrong and Sam could be considered a Rider seeing as his code-name is Falcon as that's sort of the same thing. Plus, Logan could be considered a Saber class Servant due to his metal claws or even Berserker, due to his, well, animalistic nature when he gets angry but that's splitting hairs. Anyway, let's get back to the video, cause I'm certain the next Servant class is going to scare the ever-living shit out of you." Gudako grinned at that last part.

"A question if i may Ms. Stark but just to be clear, if Lord Mazoku WERE to be killed by his allies, he WILL come back in Servant form for vengeance?" One of the visiting ambassadors, the French one no less, a woman in her late sixties with graying hair tied in a bun with a no-nonsense tone of voice asked, "If so, how would that be possible? I merely curious but wouldn't have people who have been betrayed come back AFTER their deaths?"

"Well Miss French ambassador, for one they probably weren't well known legends. To become a Servant, the first step is to basically be a legend, be it good or evil, you have to be Linken to a legend like Gilgamesh, the world's first hero. You cannot deny that Oni-chan is indeed a legend, his name known all over the world as the 'Grimm Reaper'. With me so far?"

"Yes."

Gudako then spread her arms out, as if to present something to everyone, "In this world, being a modern day hero is all but impossible, at least, to get to the height of legendary statues one would need to meet the requirements to become a Servant, let alone catch Alaya's eye but since Oni-chan has not only summoned so many Servants, saved the world several times AND has all but limitless potential, she wants him. Bad. Avenger Xero is a very unique and very powerful Servant, one that can easily be classified as a Top Servant. The fact he won the Holy Grail War on the Moon only cemented Alaya's wanting of his Heroic Spirit self, so if getting him means she has to let him kill off more than half of humanity, it is a price she will pay gladly. All though..." Here, Gudako normally smile darkened, as flames licked at the ends of her now long hair, "You COULD just kill Oni-chan and see what happens. I'll admit that you all have no reason to believe me and it's all hearsay from me, from what i believe, so knock yourselves out if you're feeling lucky. But remember, what we aren't mutants and it's not advanced tech that allows us to summon Servants, it's magic. Do you really want to take this gambit?"

Yeah, no.

Hell fucking no.

The French ambassador didn't know about the rest of the world but there was no way in hell she was touching that subject with a twenty-foot pole. If it were anything else other than magic, then maybe she would have taken her chance but it's magic, so unpredictability is expected and not worth the potential nuke bomb going off it backfired on them.

The video started again, showing a new Servant class, as Wiz spoke.

"The next class Servant is probably one of the most dangerous class Servants, due to the nature of their creation: The Foreigner."

Roman titled his head in confusion, "Foreigner? That doesn't sound intimidating."

"Just like looks can be deceiving, so can names." Clover spoke wisely, seeing as his life in the Atlas military have taught him that just because someone either looks wired or have an odd name, means nothing in terms of ability and skill. Hell, Roman should look at his partner to know that for a fact.

"Truth be told we don't know much about Foreigner's, as it is stated in the records of Chaldea: Chaldea Security Organization has a limited understanding of the class but defines it as a class for 'beings who overturn the base laws of our world.'" Wiz said, reading over some of his notes, "They are said to be individuals who have 'descended from superstition,' those who have kept their "purity in the heart of madness' or who are 'swallowed by madness but then turn around and consume the madness in turn.' Typically, not Heroic Spirits, Foreigners are similar enough in nature to be classified in that way for the purposes of Chaldea. As foreign beings from outside of the world, they are typically bonded with an Outer God, the process of creating one being known as a complex process with a low chance of success. For Abigail Williams and Katsushika Hokusai, the plan of Demon God Raum was necessary to create the conditions under which the Outer Gods could come into contact with their hosts."

"Wait a second, don't you and Xero have those two summoned?" Pepper asked her adopted daughter as she nodded.

"Hold up for a second mom, there's more."

"While the normal qualification for the class is to be a 'receptacle of an Outer God,' it is possible for other circumstances allow for manifestation in the class. For Voyager who normally belongs to the Voyager class, his status as an emissary to be sent into space qualifies him for the class. Koyanskaya of Darkness gains the class as the byproduct of the Authority connected to the region of space from which the meteor that caused the birth of Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya originated. Due to the possession of the Protection from the Farthest Ends, the 'extreme point at the exact opposite position of the Outer Universe,' Mysterious Heroine XX shifts into the Class."

The screen then did a play by play of both Abigial and XX, in her third stage.

"What Wiz is trying to say, is that Foreigners are Servants but not normal Servants, even by Holy Grail Standards and are confusing as hell. To shorter things up, here's the short version of what we DO know: Foreigners are similar to Saints imbued with Divinity to manifest a miracle, instead becoming appropriate vessels for "crystallized evil." Rather than have their mind burn out, BB describes the process by saying, "Isn't it human nature to try to push oneself beyond logic?" The Outer Gods seek to use their hosts as a means of fully descending on the world as they cannot manifest in it directly due to their alien natures, but the host can instead control and wield a part of that power for themselves. Kinda like an evil spirit attempting to control a normal person to do evil deeds, like in those old horror movies or better yet, when Freddy Kurger takes over people to kill more people. Or, just horrible with money, as Xero's had to deal with XX's money troubles and her horrible misuse of it."

"But it should be noted that both Xero and Gudako have a pretty good handle on their Foreigner's. Katsushika turned out to be a very nice girl, willingly to work with Gudako and Abigial is a sweet girl that simply wants to help her master however she can."

"But it should be noted Wiz, that her wanting to help her master and love for him, has caused Abby to wreak havoc on his mind, in an effort to 'Protect him'. She honestly wanted to keep her master safe and when she saw how humanity would basically give said master a final 'screw you' despite all he did for them and their past actions against those with magic, she...did not like that too much."

"Wreak havoc on his mind? What does he mean Gudako, Olga?" Pepper asked, worry clearly viable on her face, as everyone else wordless looked to Gudako, as she sighed, rubbing her forehead, while Olga thankfully took over for her.

"Just know that Foreigners are dangerous, unique Servants and we still know little about them. Master and Gudako actually had to fight Abby during the time of the Witch Trails in Salem Massachusetts, i myself don't know what happened and neither master nor Gudako will speak about what went down."

"Cause it's better that way." The redhead said simply, not willingly to speak further on the subject and everybody knew it too. Several wanted to question the girl, learn more about what this "Foreigner" class Servant could do but the look on her face told everyone, she wouldn't budge. Even if the fearful looks on certain people faces clearly wanted to question her more on the subject, they knew better then to try, as Wiz started up again.

That wasn't including the fact Abby had threatened to make BB 'cease to exist' is she did something to intinetal hurt her Oni-chan. Nope, no reason for them to know that.

"Next up is confusing class but easier to understand then the previous class, Alter Ego. These types of Servants are an existence taken out of or separated from a certain Spirit Origin and altered and are is a non-standard Extra Servant Class comprised of beings that are split off from another. Differing from Alter Servants that are an alternate side or interpretation of a Heroic Spirit, Alter Egos are a phenomenon where "one persona of that Heroic Spirit gains independence as a separate entity"; essentially, they are personifications of the original being's emotions, wishes, or personality traits that have developed minds of their own. Artoria Pendragon is the same person as Artoria Pendragon Alter, while BB and Passionlip are unique individuals. The term Alter Ego is not limited to a Servant class, but also the Servant's very state of being. It's possible for an Alter Ego to be of another Servant class while still being an Alter Ego. Both the Sakura Five and the Tamamo Nine are comprised of Alter Egos."

The screen changed, to show Okita Alter in her first form.

"An example is Okita Alter, who was a blank slate in mind but with the strength, skill and body of a killing machine. It speaks a lot of Xero's character that he didn't do anything that could have molded the woman into a prefect Servant for him. The way she was summoned, Otika Alter was prefect for someone looking to make an indoor slave or loyal bodyguard, but Xero didn't try to manipulate in anyway. Instead, he gave her the chance to learn and grow into the person SHE wanted to be. He gave her all the information she needed to know in order to make her own choices and decide on who she wanted to become. Man, some people might think Xero's a complete asshole and bastard, but you got to give him props for resisting any temptations to influence her."

"Now, what Boomstick means, is that Okita Alter is like an impressable kid, one that trusts very easy and will believe just about anything you tell her. At least, she originally was but she's grown out of that phase."

"He's right, that is tempting." Erwin felt a shiver run up his spine at the thought of some more dangerous, evil people getting their hands on a powerful Servant like Otika Alter and a moldable one at that. Some of these people were in this very room and numero uno being Cinder, who was gritting her teeth, clenching her fist in angry.

No doubt she was seething at the missed chance to gain a powerful follower like the Alter Ego Servant.

"If that's true, i shuddered to think of what could have happened if HYDRA or god forbid the Cult figured out a way to summon ANY of these Servants like Okita Alter. Thankfully Xero-chan and Gudako are the ones that have summoned the majorated of them, which means more powerful people on our side. So many living legends in one place, each one unique and powerful in one way or another that makes us humans look weak is so...exciting!"

Even if the thought should have scared her to death, Hange only felt a shiver of delight run up her spine at the thought. Seeing as she had personal met quite a few of them, it originally shocked her to see how human they all were.

Sure, there were some who weren't human to being with like the Oni but there were some aspects of their personalities that strike her as very humanoid. Like Ibaraki's love of hard candy, Shuten's love for alcohol and Tomoe's love of video games. Hell, Vlad, despite being revered as an unfeeling monster throughout history, was a laid back, philosophical man off the battlefield with a love of reading and knitting of all things.

The last one had Hange clutching her stomach laughing to the point of tears.

But on the bright side, she got a nice scarf out of it, the man was good!

The knights of the round table like Gawain and Tristan loved to play card games, all the versions of Cu liked to hunt or fish, Gilgamesh like to play chess with Xero-chan and Emyia was one hell of a cook too, hell even Charlie loved to read up on legends of old. Even if the red Archer said he wasn't an expert, Hange begged to differ, that man knew his way around the kitchen.

He'd make a great wife someday, that's for certain.

As powerful as they were, those Servants were just like anyone else having their own likes, dislikes, dreams, wants, needs and desires. One could try to argue they weren't human, which to a certain level they aren't but that was physically for the most part. Mentally however...it was a completely different story.

Just as she has seen some Servants act so human, others act very inhumanly, like Gudako's "Gramps" the first Hassan or The Old Man on the Mountain. If not for the fact he looks like a walking set of armor alite with unholy fire, then it's the manner he conducts himself and the sheer pressure his presence gives everyone.

That wasn't including Gorgon of the Mech-Liz's either.

"Next up is the rare class Servant that has even fewer Servants then Avengers and Ruler classes, the Moon Cancer class Servant." Wiz spoke but was cut off by his co-host.

"Which is held by one of Xero's most trouble making Servants, BB." Boomstick said, speaking over Wiz with another cheeky comment, as Wiz sighed again in annoyance.

"Yeah. Anyway, according to Type Moon, the Moon Cancer class Servants are the the Irregular who threatens the world of the moon and is a nonstandard class, Servant. MoonCancer is a Class originally developed by BB, a figure of the Moon Cell. The very act of BB being an intermediary to form a connection between Ganesha and Jinako Carigiri as a Pseudo-Servant grants the resulting Servant the MoonCancer class. The key figures on the three versions of the tarot card for the class are BB, Kiara Sessyoin, and Arcueid Brunestud. Kiara says that both she and BB 'scarred the moon' during the Moon Holy Grail War, and Kiara says her personal qualifications must be due to the happenings in the War. She describes it as a very rare Servant class. It is currently unknown why Arcueid manifested in this class. As the origin of the Class, BB can act as a MoonCancer Stabilizer to look over MoonCancer Saint Graphs."

Everyone waited for a second, waiting for the explanation to go on but nothing happened, as Levi asked the question on everyone's minds, "That's it? That's all there is?"

Gudako shrugged helplessly, "Sorry but Moon Cancer Servants are very confusing. But what we do know is that BB is an Advanced AI originating from the Advanced AI modeled after Sakura Matou and the creator and Master of the Sakura Five in the Sakura Labyrinth. Which is pretty bad, as Sakura, while one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, is one of the most broken too. I won't say what happened, since it's not my place to say but BB is capable of taking over EVERY digital item in the world without fail. Really, she could pull a Skynet is she wanted too, so if any of you are thinking of betraying Oni-chan, here's another reason to why that's a terrible idea, cause as much as BB likes to say otherwise, she does love Oni-chan. Without him here to retrain her, BB would run amok if something happened to him because of someone's need for control."

"And believe me, it would be quite easy for me to do so, so don't give me or senpai a reason to do it. This isn't a fight you want; you aren't going to win, no matter what you do. Even if you DO kill senpai, that will just remove all restrain his dear Servants have and unleash their own hell on Earth." BB's cheeky voice rang out, as those that were not so subtle threatened stayed quiet, slowly understanding just how dangerous Xero and his allies truly were. Some were more worried than others, namely those from Atlas and those that planned to use machines to combat the "Mutant Threat" but were smart enough to keep it to themselves.

"Half of our military is mechanical, if Mazoku decides to attack us, he can turn half our military in an instance."

Knights, Paladins, Bullheads, their very system itself...there was no telling the untold amount of damage that boy could do to them. He has already proven himself strong enough to take down their best team like cotton candy and he was barely trying! It wasn't his best, cause at most, he used two spells and none of his weapons were even used during the fight.

The more and more Ironwood watched, the more his mind (And Mettle) urged him to either have Mazoku under control or kill him for the threat he represnted to not just Atlas but the entire world, both Earth and Remnant.

If not him, then the sheer number of Servants he has and the power they had-

"PENNY!"

Ironwood's eyes slide over to his would be Maiden and felt terror claw at his heart. For all her achievements, for all her power, goodness and kindness, Penny was an android, a robot, a machine.

She may have been the world's first synthetic with an aura, a soul, but she was still a machine, and this BB was an advanced AI, clearly far more advanced than Penny herself. While Dr. Polendina did an amazing job in making Penny LOOK human, if someone were to take a look, a Deep Look at Penny, they could notice certain things about her that were clearly NOT human but that BB woman...she looked perfectly human. If she was truly an advanced AI, then she was what Atlas was attempting to do with Penny, as a new fear begin to grip his heart.

It was entirely possible that BB could hack Penny and take control of her at anytime, anywhere, for any reason.

Even if his pride in Atlas's hardware and Perito's designs said that it was impossible for anyone on Remnant to do so, BB wasn't from Remnant. She was from a completely different world. One where technology may not be as advanced as theirs in some ways like robots, bullhorns and artifical limbs, it was more advanced in other ways. Like hacking and programming, as they didn't have to worry about the Grimm clawing at their doorsteps ever second of everyday.

Earth had plenty of time to upgrade and advanced hacking programmers, where's Remnant did not. Whether the boy realized it or not, he made himself a clear and present threat to not just Atlas but all of Remnant itself.

"He could bring down the entire Atlas network, even my father's own personal security! He could even cut off our long-range scanners for the Grimm! If he did that..." Ironwood wasn't the only one thinking that, as Weiss was just as fearful of the White Fang gaining Mazoku's help and the terror they could unleash upon her home country men wasn't a pleasant one. If machines made up of half the military personal, then her father's security personal made up mostly of machines, which would leave them vulnerable to an attack IF Mazoku decide to help the White Fang.

"Maybe this is why the Curator really sent father away. Because he would most certainly do everything and anything, he could get rid of Mazoku."

Even if that meant plunging all of Remnant into a war over nothing more than paranoia and his own bruised pride at being proven weaker to someone else.

All three members of the Schnee family thought at the same time, easily seeing Jacques lose his cool and probably try to kill Xero right then and there, consequences be damned. From the fearful look on Sleet and Pietro's face, they also realized the same thing, though more than likely the older man was worried for his 'daughter's' safety and the council man looking worried at how half of their army could be turned on them at any time.

The Ace-Ops, Winter and even Whitely all looked worried at this idea, clearly thinking along the same lines as him. It wasn't irrational, nor was it his usual paranoia talking either, it was a legitimate concern and security threat to not just Atlas but the rest of the world. If the White Fang, any other criminals or brothers forbid, Salem got her hands on BB's power, it could be the end of the world as they knew it. It didn't matter if Mazoku willingly joined her or not, the fact she had such an ability remained a threat no matter how one put it.

In fact, the only one who seemed happy or interested to know this fact, were Mei and Power loader, though the teacher was merely curious to how she was created, Mei wanted to ask many, many questions regarding her programming and how an AI like her works. Able to display emotion and feel said emotions was beyond anything they currently had, and she wanted to know just HOW such a feat was possible.

Thankful Wiz cut in before she could go ask (Demanded) answers.

"Moving on the Pretender class Servant is a relatively new class, one neither Xero nor Gudako has. It is One who wears a role, Pretenders are those whose became heroes while feigning another identity. Disguised individuals, like the masked Zorro, do not qualify for the class, but rather those who acted while fulfilling the role of another. If "Person A" dies with unfulfilled ambitions and "Person B" acts in the role of "Person A" until the end without exposing themselves, "Person A" retains all of their fame. "Person B," the interior of this false persona, is unable to occupy any other spot, so they are left as the only one able to fulfill the role of "Person A," the exterior of the false persona."

Once again, Gudako was the subjected of everyone's stares, as she shook her head, "Hey, don't look at me. I barely understand any of that and like Wiz said, there a relatively new type of class, so we know little to nothing about them. Hell, we haven't even heard of this class till a few weeks ago, the Throne of Heroes is always changing, shifting, adding new heroes to it and even new classes."

"Let's just move on, otherwise this will take forever."

Just as Olga said that Boomstick spoke, "Now that we have covered the main classes and extra classes, there are a few Servants who can't be classified as a regular Servant, such as the Pseudo Servants. Now to save confusion, i'll be taking this right out of Type-Moon, AHEM: Pseudo-Servants, are Servants that have manifested utilizing humans as their vessels. While similar to Demi-Servants in the end result, the process of forming one is different. So basically, what i just said."

"Yes Boomstick, what you just said sums it up but here is a more detailed explanation of these types of Servants. Pseudo-Servants are the result of Heroic Spirits and Divine Spirits that cannot become Servants normally. There are those like Muramasa whose Saint Graph isn't worthy of being a Heroic Spirit, Divine Spirits that cannot manifest in the modern age without a host, and other Saint Graphs that cannot be created by Chaldea's FATE Servant summoning system. In such cases, human vessels are utilized to allow the spirits to manifest, the human body acting as a catalyst to forcibly summon the spirit Sherlock Holmes speculates that there may be Heroic Spirits only summonable in the form of a Pseudo-Servant taking over a deceased body. While the result is the same as a Demi-Servant, a human empowered by a Heroic Spirit, the idea behind each is different. Most Pseudo-Servants merge into a single entity, their personalities combining to become a third, new personality. In the case of Divine Spirit Pseudo-Servants, they should generally manifest simply utilizing the host as a vessel, placing a small portion of their power into them and forcing them to manifest as a Servant. For those that do merge with their host, the Divine Spirit's memories will be at the forefront of the fusion of personalities, but the effect of the host's personality on the Divine Spirit varies. It is possible to manifest in such a way that it is akin to the "goddess using a human as her core" in the case of Ishtar or a "human using a goddess as her own core" in the case of Parvati, but the goddess' mind will still be at the forefront of the manifestation due to the Divine Spirit possessing more spiritrons. As humans are unable to handle the full weight of a Divine Spirits memories and mind, the memories and past of the human host are typically sealed upon merging. There are special cases where the host and possessing spirit remain completely separates, generally due to the personal preference of the possessing spirit. They are the rarest pattern of Pseudo-Servant. In the case of Divine Spirit Pseudo-Servants, Ganesha in particular is an exemption where the host is the one in full control."

"Which is the only reason why Xero is still among the living and NOT being whisked away to the underworld by Isthar's sister, Ereshkigal. The body she is using is the world's biggest tsundere, Rin Tohsaka. It's the 'Rin' part of her that keeps the goddess holding back from simply kidnapping her master, so he should be thankful that Emyia's fellow master of the fifth Holy Grail War became a Pseudo Servant."

"Underworld? Does she mean like an afterlife or something and who's Ereshkigal?" Sage asked, not at all understanding and wondering why some people actually looked pale at the name of the Lancer.

"If you know anything about Mesopotamian mythology, then you would know Ereshkigal was the goddess of Kur, the land of the dead or underworld in Sumerian mythology." Olga said simply, gaining the attention of Remnant's people, "In later myths, she was said to rule Irkalla alongside her husband Nergal. Sometimes her name is given as Irkalla, similar to the way the name Hades was used in Greek mythology for both the underworld and its ruler, and sometimes it is given as Ninkigal, lit. 'Lady of the Great Earth'. Ereshkigal was only one of multiple deities regarded as rulers of the underworld in Mesopotamia. The main temple dedicated to her was located in Kutha, a city originally associated with Nergal, and her cult had a very limited scope. No personal names with "Ereshkigal" as a theophoric element are known. In the ancient Sumerian poem Inanna's Descent to the Underworld, Ereshkigal is described as Inanna's older sister. However, they were not commonly associated with each other. The two main myths involving Ereshkigal are the story of Inanna's descent into the Underworld and the story of Ereshkigal's marriage to the god Nergal. Other myths also associate her with gods such as Ninazu, originally regarded as her husband but later as a son, and Ningishzida."

Some were surprised at the depth of Olga's knowledge of ancient legends, as Oobleck wrote down in his notebook but looked at her with a smile, "Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us miss Olga. I must say, i am surprised you know such details."

"It's nothing, in our line of work, knowing legends gives us a better chance at summoning them." Olga waved off his compliments, "Though as we later find out, Lancer didn't actually have a husband or a child and that she really was indeed left alone by the gods since the beginning of time. Which does explain her desires to take Mazoku's soul to the underworld when he dies. Though she isn't the only one bidding for his soul." Olga whispered the last part under her breath, but Tony heard it, nevertheless, leading him to demanded answers.

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly that Stark, Ereshkigal isn't the only one who wants his soul when he dies. Believe it or not, thanks to the many Servants that can manipulate souls by magic, are rulers/workers of some type of after life (Ereshkigal and the Valkyries), demons Gods tier ones, want Mazoku's soul." Olga shook her head in a tired manner, "Even during our time in Chaldea, after nearly five years i think, some Servants started staking their claim on his soul and it almost became a battle royal for his soul. Given how close he's come to dying during the Grand Order, i suppose it should be no surprise but the number of Servants that want his soul when he dies was shocking to me."

"Just to be clear, they WON'T do anything that could take his soul...early?" Pepper didn't want to think too badly of her adopted sons allies but she had to make sure of that and Olga staying silent for a minute didn't help her fears, as Gudako chipped in.

"Well, it's one of the reasons why they all agreed to the harem route. To understand it better, Servants and masters have a symbiotic relationship, kind of like Venom and Eddie in a way. They are BOND to one another, till death do them part if everything works out well. Servants offer up their skills and power, thus in return the master keeps them alive. But also, like Venom, some don't have a HUMAN way of thinking: Age means nothing to them seeing as they are stuck in the age period they were summoned in, never being able to grow old and while some do have a human way of thinking, that can change really quickly if their master is in danger. It's easy to forget that no matter how they act or look, they are NOT human. They don't really, truly fear death since not only are they technically already dead, but they can also just be resummoned back after returning to the Throne of Heroes or in our case, simply go back to their card forms to rest for a couple of days. But if the master dies, that's it. Game over, no coming back for them."

"Are you sure it's a good idea to reveal this kind of information to our enemies?" Annie, ever the cold and logical woman she is, asked the younger woman as the redhead shrugged.

"Maybe not but it's going to be revealed sooner or later, so might as well get it out and make it clear. The point I'm making here, is that because of their inhuman way of thinking, what it would take to protect or avenge their master if they actually got along with them, is all but nothing. They will do WHATEVER it takes to ensure their vengeance is complete. So, if that means destroying entire nations, the world itself if need be and killing anyone who gets in their way, then they'll do it."

"How can you be sure about that?" Of course, this came from William Sktyer, who was skeptical about the entire thing, "This sounds nothing then a hypothetical situation-"

"Because of having an infinite number of realities, we were able to view a reality where you all betrayed Oni-chan." Gudako's cold admission stopped him cold, as her bright eyes lost their light for a second, speaking in a very dull tone, "You, the Avengers, the Church and Mage's Association all killed him and his Servants, in retaliation they destroyed the world. It got so bad, Alaya herself and Gaia themselves had to step in to stop them but by then, it was too late."

That shocked everyone, as President Matthew shuddered out, "B-but why? I understand getting betrayed is a bad thing but to go so far, its-"

"I would never betray my kids-"

"It's because of the bond." Olga said simply, cutting off Tony and Matthew getting everyone's attention, as she spoke, flipping her hair over her shoulder, "I'll keep it simple: The deeper the master increases his or her bond with the summoned Servant, not only do they grow stronger to the peak of their power in their lifetime and beyond that, but the trust between the two deepen. The bond itself is something created by Alaya to ensure the Servant would be willingly to work with the master she's chosen but on the flip side, it makes the Servant more loyal to the chosen master rather than Alaya herself. Most Holy Grail Wars last only two to three weeks, a month at most. So, it would be no problem but seeing as the Grand Order last over TEN years, purely within the walls of Chaldea itself and seeing as how Deeping the bond to max can make the Servant stronger, it should be no surprise that his and Stark's Servants will do WHATEVER it takes to protect their master and if need be, avenger them. This leads back to the whole harem thing, seeing as how many Servants already got along with Mazoku in the first place, the deepening of the bond level increased the love they held for him and if it were to go unrequired or worse, uncared for it could get...messy. Sure, it would be more work and a bit tedious for master to have multiple lovers its better than having no love at all and seeing as we have a symbiotic relationship with him, any other type of relationship is doomed to fail. As i said before, masters and Servants are bond to one another, at the end of the day, they need each other to survive. What it all comes down to is the fact a Servant will protect their master at any cost, so rather than face heartbreak, many decided it would be easier and simpler to just share master. Sure, some Servants could love other Servants, but this may be the first and last time all these Servants are bond to the same master, which also means it's doomed to fail, even if Mazoku and Stark will die one day, there is a good chance they won't have to face them in a future Holy Grail War. The fact his own religious beliefs, believe that love should be spread and shared, not hoarded or denied to just a single person, so it all works out for everyone involved. Plus, thanks to the bond and dreaming cycles, there are no secrets between us."

"And that's not including some of the Servants who think Mazoku is the reincarnation of their past love or are yanderes and the harem idea was to ensure none of those yanderes tried to kill the rest of us to get master for herself. Not to mention to most Magus, Servants are tools, so master and Stark treating them like friends did nothing more than reinforce their loyalty to them, especially those that so desperately seek love, acceptance and kindness. That's not including the fact Master has helped all his Servants face their demons, helped resolve their issues or anything like that to help them move on with their seconds lives in our world. The fact master and Stark can both touch Serenity without dying made her all but fanatical in keeping BOTH of them alive."

Which honestly made the Assassin all the more dangerous.

The set up her master and the secondary master of Chaldea had with their Servants was a prime example of Rule by Love, overrule by Fear as most Magus would do to their Servants.

None of them needed to know that particular detail.

That made a whole lot of sense, now that they had all the necessary information needed to make sense of it all. However, a certain spartan caught onto something. Plus, not all Servants loved their shared master like one would love a lover. Some, like Europa loved Xero as the "loving grandma" and the Caster version of Morgan was granted the title of Granny Morgan. The same could be said for old man Li Shuwen and the first Hassan were granted the titles of "Grandpa" and "Gramps".

But it wasn't just them, as many child Servants loved Xero as their parental figure/caretaker like Jack, Alice, Kid Gil, etc.

"Well, nice to know where we stand." Ymir snarked, not in anger or annoyance but mostly just because that was how she was in general, as Gudako merely smirked at her with a knowing look.

"Oh, and if it was Historia that was being threaten, YOU wouldn't do everything in your power to protect her, even if that meant sacrificing the entire world, purely just to protect the one you love the most?" The freckled woman stayed silent, well shit, the redhead had a damn good point there and she wouldn't deny it at all.

It was very much true, and she would do it without a second thought, if that is what it took to protect her little blonde goddess.

"Miss Olga, you said 'to work with the master she's chosen' does that mean Alaya choses who becomes the master?" Pyrrha asked, as Gudako smiled at how perspective the redhead was, as Olga spoke.

"Well, if you want to get technically about it, it's the Holy Grail that chose who becomes a master for...whatever reason it has and even then, just because you have been chosen, doesn't mean you will become one. You still have to conduct the ritual and to get a certain Servant, you'll need a relic from their past to summon that specific Servant to your side. If not, then whatever Servant you have the strongest affinity with will be summoned. Mazoku is the exception, as his mother was the one to conduct the summoning ritual bonding Jeanne to him and not her."

"Okay i get that." Jaune pitched in, as he looked at Gudako, "But how do you know if you've been chosen by the Grail to become a master or potineal master at least?"

"With theses." The redheaded Stark said simply, holding her arm up and willing her Command Seals to appear on her skin, getting gasp in response to the sudden appearance of the red tattoo like seals.

"What is-"

"Keep watching and you'll find out, Arc." Gudako winked, making the blonde blush, as the spartan glared at the other redhead, feeling hot anger boil in her veins before she mentally smacked herself for thinking that and wiped the glare off her face before anyone noticed it, as the screen started up once again with Wiz speaking.

Completely unaware of the looks her team and sister team were shooting her.

"Yeah, strangely enough it wasn't just Rin that became a Pseudo Servant. Another Pseudo Servant is the famed Jaguar Man: Fujimura Taiga, Emyia's old caretaker after his father passed and teacher too. Then there is Irisviel, Emyia's stepmother and-"

"Okay is it just me or did every member of the Emyia family become a Pseudo Servant?" Boomstick suddenly asked, now sensing a tread as his cohost started listening off the names of Pseudo Servants. Wiz stayed silent for a minute before he finally answered.

"Yes...i, i think so Boomstick."

"They do." Gudako nodded her head.

The screen then changed, as it showed the entire Emyia family in their Servant forms, from Kiritsugu, Shirou, Irisviel, Illya, Chole (Kuro) and Taiga in her third form, the black suit but still viable tiger ears on her head.

"Pardon me Lady Gudako but is it possible for ANYONE to become a Pseudo Servant?" Ozpin suddenly ask, looking like he just come out of his deep thought state to ask the question, making Gudako raise an eyebrow but answer, nevertheless.

"Yes. Why?"

"Even someone who is either on the verge of death or in a coma?"

"Well, i mean they can. Even on the verge of death, a person can still talk and accept a contract, while a person in a coma would be a bit more difficult, it can be done. Again, why?"

"Even if that person is a young woman, who's been in a coma for months on end?"

Cinder suddenly felt ice flood her veins, as Ironwood looked just as shocked as her, as did the rest of Ozpin's inner circle. No way, there's no way Ozpin was suggesting that-

"So long as she is still alive or hell, even so long as the body is alive, then a Servant can easily take over the body and make it their own. It wouldn't be that hard."

Ozpin nodded slowly, swirling his drink around for a minute before he spoke, "Then Lady Gudako, can you-"

"OZPIN YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" Ironwood all but roared, as he shot to his feet, glaring at the one of the oldest people in the room, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOUR DOING?! YOU'LL BE HANDING OVER AMBER TO A DANGEROUS PERSON AND MAZOKU WILL HAVE THREE MAIDENS UNDER HIS CONTROL! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!"

"I have not!" Ozpin glared right back, as Cinder felt panic settle in her very bones. No, no way, no fucking way can someone as arrogant as Ozpin be considering handing over one of his most valuable pieces to someone who would not serve him. No way- "But as things stand, i believe this could be course of action. As much as i hate to say it, i think Amber may already be dead and your machine is all that is keeping her alive won't last forever. Sooner or later, her power will seek out it's other half and seeing as we have no idea what your machine will do to whoever who chose to transfer Amber's aura too, it's too risky. It was always risky to use but now that we know all this, i believe it's safer to allow one of Lord Mazoku's Servants or Lady Gudako's Servants to take over Amber body. Yes, it will give them another Maiden, but it is most certainly better then sacrificing one of my students and possible LOSING both the Maidens power AND my students in the process if your machine fails James. While i have no doubt Atlas has made great strides in understanding aura, we're talking about magic. Something even I, as old as i am, do not fully understand completely and i have decide it would be better to let people, who are clearly more experienced in dealing with magic and have a far greater understanding of it to handle the delicate matter. This way, we know for certain that it will work and not only we will deny Cinder the Fall Maiden's powers, but the Servants also have a much better chance of taking back the other half without problems, even protecting the power much better from both Cinder and the rest of Salem's followers."

He would.

It was a good argument, a sound one full of logic and truth to it, not to mention it would prevent Cinder from gaining the rest of the power. Thus, negating her plans, destroying her sway over Adam's fraction of the White Fang and Salem will lose a powerful agent and the returning of the Fall Maiden's power may make Cinder weaker than she was before she stole half the Fall Maiden's power.

There was just one teeny, tiny problem with this:

"After everything we have learned, it's clear that Mazoku and his allies are a clear security threat to not just Vale or Atlas but all of Remnant and even the rest of the world as a whole. Willingly giving them Fall's power would be disastrous results, we can't afford them to gain more power. He and Stark have to be dealt with before they cause untold damage to our world."

"Excuse me?" Tony growled, as the rest of the Avengers and SHEILD soldiers tensed at Ironwood's words, knowing what he meant by 'dealt with' and they didn't like the sound of it, as Pepper wrapped her arms around her adopted daughter, like she would need to shield her if be, "You want to say that again, Iron-Bastard. Cause I'm pretty sure i just heard you say that you're going to try to kill MY son and daughter."

"Like it or not, your son's Servants are a clear threat to everyone here." Winter cut in coldly, ignoring the glare the man known as Iron Man and the Avengers were sending her. This needed to be said and they needed to hear it, whether they liked it or not, this was the truth, "Your son is too powerful to be left alone, he has to be watched and-"

"Say one more word and I'm ripping your damn thorax out bub." Logan growled, as he an unleashed his metal claws with a loud SLINK, to emphasis his point, while Winter remained unflinching, despite her tense posture.

"The general is right, we-"

"General enough!" Suddenly, Council man Sleet cut in, stopping Ironwood and his plus one from making a MASSIVE mistake, "Atlas is NOT doing anything to Lord Mazoku or his allies unless we have too. Now is not the time for your usual paranoia, so sit down and lets just get through this."

"Council man-"

"No!" The younger man yelled, glaring behind his glasses, "Regardless of what lord Mazoku COULD do, i will not allow you to start a war just because of your need for control and paranoia. Now stand down and sit down, NOW."

The man gritted his teeth, seeing most of his allies were very much against it, save for Winter and even the Ace-Ops. But he was dangerously outnumbered, and this was not the ideal battlefield for him to fight on. He grumbled but stood down for now, but this was far from over.

That, he swore.

"Keep this up and the very destruction you are trying to prevent, will happen."

Ironwood ignored the small voice in his head, clearly sounding like good sense trying to discourage him from his current course of action but if the general was one thing, it's being stubborn as a bull.

Along with the rest of Atlas and it's proud citizens.

As this happened, the heroes and heroes in training watched the scene silently, like one would watch a tennis match, not having a clue of what was going on. What did they mean by this 'Maiden' thing, Atlas and this Salem person?

Just what the hell was going on here?!

"You know general, it's that kind of attitude that makes enemies out of everyone." Roman grinned, as he took an inhale of his cigarette, as Ironwood shot him a glare, "Just saying is all, boss man and lady don't seem like the type to attack without being attacked first. I get it, i really do, your use to having the biggest stick in the world and now you're having to play second, no, THIRD fiddle to someone else that has a much LARGER stick."

"Well, what did Grandpa Howard say?" Gudako asked, amusement clear in her tone as she smiled at the bowler hat guy's comment, "Peace means...Just having a bigger stick than the other guy, i believe."

"Yeah, he did." Tony said, his brows furrowing as her words registered in his head. Grandpa Howard? Now THAT was something he never thought he would ever her in his lifetime and hoped to never hear it again.

That, that just sounded wrong.

So very wrong.

"Well, that's what we're doing here." Gudako said, snapping Tony from his horror induced thought process, "No matter what anyone says, no matter how much we would like to say otherwise, history is written by the winners and all those winners had the bigger stick than anyone else or at the very least, outnumbered the losers. Peace is all about having the bigger stick than the bad guys and here's the stick WE have. Oni-chan and i do not wish for war, as war is hell and we would love nothing more than to avoid it, but we won't back down either if we are threatening by people who can't stand that we have a bigger stick. So, here's how it's going to work..." Gudako lost her normal smile, a stoic look coming to her face, as the temperature in the room raised enough to cause people to start sweating as her eyes bore into Ironwood's, "You don't mess with us, we don't mess with you or Atlas. Try to fuck with us however, we won't just beat you. We will destroy you; We will beat you; we will strip you of your pride, we will turn your oh so wonderful bots against you, we will see your precious Atlas come CRASHING down into Mantle and your soldiers not just beaten but broken. But you know what, it doesn't have to happen that way, all you need to do is NOT attack us unprovoked. That's it, it's really that simple, i cannot put it any simpler: You don't mess with us, we don't mess with you. Now i don't know about you but that sounds like a great deal to me, don't you agree Steve?"

The redhead asked the blonde super soldier, who nodded in agreement, "Sounds like something i can get behind."

"Erwin?"

"That would be preferable, yes."

"Levi?"

"Personally, i would have prefer to leave them with a black eye for all the shit they're trying to pull but it's fine with me."

"Fury?"

"We've already enough problems as it is. If you can keep another nation from an entirely different world, then I'm all for it. But I'll be honest, given what happened in Null, how its supposedly resemble so closely to this version of Remnant that we've found ourselves neighboring with, i fully expect a war to break out by the end of the year. I really do and I'm hoping they'll prove themselves as smart as they say and NOT start a war over their bruised pride."

It was only through sheer will that kept the general's silence, feeling very insulted that Atlas would wage a war over something so stupid as pride. Did they not realize the threat that boy presented, or did they just willfully ignore it? Even if the Grimm and this so called 'Dead War' was real, did no one think of what would come after?

What about the 'Mad Titan' person?

Why didn't the boy's future self-know of him about him? Did Thanos simply not come to Earth, or did he simply not mention him? If so, then why? What reason could he have to keep that a secret and what about all the other secrets he was keeping?

No matter how you looked at it, just one bad day is all it took to turn someone from virtuous to villainous. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not even in a year but sooner or later, they would all would regret that decision.

One Maiden was bad enough, two were a nightmare but three?

They'd be a nigh unstoppable force and if they decide to collect Spring's power, then no one on either planet could hope to stop them. No one should have that much power.

No one.

"Are you just as confused as me?" Izuku asked his first real friend at UA, as the brown-haired girl nodded.

"What do they mean by Maiden? Like a woman of some sort of nobility?" The green haired boy shrugged, even more confused now than before.

"Indeed Mr. Midoriya, just what do my fellow headmasters mean by 'Maiden'?"

Nezu quietly thought to himself, as he looked back at the screen, as it started up again. Oh well, good things come to those who wait and sooner or later, he would get his questions answered, as Gudako spoke again, looking directly at Ironwood, "Look, you don't like me or trust me which is fine. I personally don't care one way or the other as i don't trust you either but i do believe you are a good man in your own way. No matter what anyone says, you're a general, trying to protect a kingdom he had dedicated his life too and seeing as how you acted in Null, you're not completely heartless, in fact, it was that kind of attitude that added big points in our books for you. But therein lies the problem, it's some of your country men that will do ANYTHING to ensure they stay on top but you? You are trying to stop Remnant's equivalent to an evil Overlord, which isn't easy given the fact she is immortal with an army of dark animals at her command. So, I think we can both agree when i say, you can trust me when i say that the Grimm, Salem, the Rotten World, the undead of said world and the Six Dark Purveyors want us, humans, mutants, Faunus, Huntsman, Solders and Magus all dead. As i said you don't have to like me or trust me to get the results you want."

"And what results DO i want?"

"Well for starters, Salem defeated, and the Grimm gone for one." Ironwood said nothing, as she was right on that one, as she continued, "Personal i don't think you're a bad guy general, just someone under an insane amount of stress, more than anyone person should have been forced to carry but beggars can't be choosers. Believe it or not but I'm not some egotistical idiot that wants to destroy the world for whatever idiotic reason since, newsflash, i LIVE on this world just like everyone. It's not perfect, never has been and probably never will be. This world has plenty of bad in it sure, but it has a lot of good too, good that i want to protect not just that but those i love as well. Besides, if you are so worried about Oni-chan and i having all the Maidens power on our side, don't. Compared to many of our Servants, the Maiden's power is nothing more than a small flicker in the grand scheme of things, barely blipping on our radar on the power scale, let alone compared to our own magical power. The bottom line is this: You can sallow your pride/fear, pull your heads out of your asses so we can work together to stop what is to come and survive, or we can do the bad guy's job for them. We could just kill each other in some mad grab for power and in doing so, doom both our worlds in the process. So General Ironwood, i ask not just you but the rest of you, can we all put aside our distrust and hate for one another, form a truce of sorts if only long enough for us to beat Salem and ensure the world doesn't end because of a zombie apocalypse?"

The redhead asked, as she extended her hand, as a sign for a truce to be formed, as Ironwood stared at it for a good long minute before he sighed and grabbed it reluctantly, "I suppose i have no choice do i?"

"You do, you have chosen NOT to be an idiot and believe your pride is worth more than the safety of the world. You can work with us and survive or don't and die."

THE SAME GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU.

She didn't need to say it, as that one statement hung in the air like an oppressive cloud over everyone's heads. It didn't need to be said, as everyone could read between the lines and made a choice:

They'd agree to work with them and survive...For now.

Everyone else that representatives one of the many countries and nations of the world all slowly nodded in agreement, as Gudako let go of Ironwood's hand to return to her seat, as Pepper spoke to her adopted daughter with a smile, "That was great work Gudako."

"Great work?" Tony scoffed with his own proud smile, "Please Pepper, i think that was excellent work. I'm still having a hard time believing it actually happened at all."

"Well, when you lay it out so plainly for all to see, you'd be surprised at what you can accomplish." Remy grinned, twirling a card between his fingers, "Nice work boss lady."

The rest of the Avengers and the Levi squad all offered their own congrats at reaching this compromise, unaware of Gudako's much darker thoughts.

"Idiots, did they not realize just because i cowed and logicized them into submission, doesn't change much. It's only a matter of time before they, the ones in charge or someone else entirely comes after us for our power. Hell, they might just flat out ignore or won't believe our warning and us it as a way to try to discredit us in some way. I'm not sure how but that's just how politics."

Well, judging by the looks Levi, Erwin, Hange, Natasha, Betty, Jess, Jenn, Logan, Laura, Remy and Armin had told her that they were thinking along the same lines as her.

It wasn't arrogance or her being pessimistic, it was a simple fact people in power didn't like to have their power threaten in any shape or form.

They don't like it when someone had more power them, less so when that said person couldn't, WOULD'T, allow themselves to be controlled. Especially since she had the Maiden powers and even if she told them the truth, that wouldn't stop people from coming after her to get them from her. Hell, the redhead can see the gears turning, not only in Cinder's and Seinna's heads but those from Vacuo and Atlas.

Vale and Mistral really didn't stand out too much to her, as Raven and Leo were gone. The fact both were cowards and barely made a blip on their threat radar, what were they going to do? One would undoubtedly be executed for treason and the other was a weak little bandit that could only take on villages that they attacked quickly, never sticking around to fight the responders that would come to the call of defenseless people.

She could say whatever she liked but Gudako and her Oni-chan knew the truth:

She and the rest of her so called "Family" were nothing more than weaklings that could only pray on those weaker than them with no hope of going after bigger fish, Spring Maiden powers or not.

Power, like training, meant nothing if you didn't have the will to act on it.

But the rest of them?

Oh no sir, she could see gears turning in their heads, plans forming and more than likely a lot of them meant nothing good for her or Oni-chan. Knowing how the Maiden powers work, they will not doubt think that their Servants could work the same way and attempt to steal them. Either through some sort of legal bullshit and once they realized that wouldn't work, they would try to forcefully steal them, claiming it was for the "Greater Good" or whatever ridiculous thing they could come up with.

"That's how it's always been: Those with power will always be pursued by those who seek power for their own ends, regardless of the fact it's impossible to claim this power for their own or not. After all, 'reason' 'logic' and 'truth' mean nothing in the face of 'desires' and 'greater good'. Even if the end of the world is barely five years away, that won't stop idiots who seek our power and the power of the Winter Maiden."

Even if there was no chance for it to happen and unknown to the world, she, Ritsuka "Gudako" Stark/Mazoku will be the last Winter Maiden the world will ever see.

Vale was off the table, mostly due to Ozpin's presence. He won't do anything that might jeopardize his end goal of ending his shadow war with Salem once and for all. If nothing else, he'd do everything he could to make them happy and safe. At least, long enough to deal with Salem, which was fine with her, as they could take care of themselves and after seeing her Oni-chan beat down Atlas so called "Best team" made her thoughts of huntsman go down quite a bit.

Aside from their aura protecting them, which by the way sounded an awful lot like Reinforcement, they weren't that big of a threat to them. But they would still be a pain to normal soldiers, possibility a threat to people like Levi and Mikasa, it wouldn't mean much.

Give it some time and they could find a way around their aura and deal with them if need be but that wasn't the big problem.

From Vacuo, she had read up on them a week prior to the Peace Summit and while she could respect them as people, the people of Vacuo had chips on their shoulders. The girls of team NDGO were eyeing her Oni-chan in a way that she made her clench her fist and cause her teeth to grit in fury.

Those girls were social climbers, people who would use people like her Oni-chan to improve their lives, use him for their own means and throw him away at their own leisure. Not that it would work of course, as her Oni-chan had many lovers who wouldn't allow bitches like them to sink their claws into him but the fact they would try to use him like that made her anger.

It might seem like Gudako was grasping at straws, but Sherlock had taught her how to read people just from a glance and these four gave her bitch vibes all the way.

As for Atlas, well Ironwood said he would work with them but afterward?

Afterward, who's to say he won't try something? If not him, then the rest of Atlas not liking something was smarter AND stronger than them NOT working for them wouldn't try something after this was over or worse, BEFORE it was over? She could definitely see Sleet working that angel, trying to corner them into doing what he wanted, along with Jacques, who will more than likely try to roughshod his way into getting whatever he wanted and then some.

He'd already done it to his own wife, daughters and son, so why not to someone who had the power to destroy entire nations in just one attack? But not just him or even Atlas as a whole, what about the rest of Remnant's and Earth's own politicians? Not to mention the various groups, organizations and everyone else who wanted a piece of their power, of magic itself?

Personally, Gudako didn't think Ironwood was a bad person, but not only did he have led the only army on Remnant, but he was also the headmaster of his school and a part of an organization that has been trying to prevent an immortal Grimm bitch from destroying everything they love, out of sheer spite for what happened to her, while trying to keep four women with incredible power from being used by criminals and other not so nice people.

It was a good idea to keep the Maiden's existence a secret but now that everyone would more than likely learn of them or at the very least, those with enough power to cause trouble, would know she was one as well as Mikasa. They might not try anything on her, given her position but Mikasa was the weaker of the two, magically at least and if given the chance those who sought the powers of the Maiden would go for Soldier Girl first.

Through many experiences, Gudako had learned the hard way, that people would try to take advantage of a crisis to get what they wanted.

It was dark, twisted, manipulative and wrong in every sense of the word but it was during these times of crisis, when people need to work together to survive that people like them take advantage of the crisis to get what they want.

"Not that'll work of course, as they need US more than we need THEM but that won't stop some people from trying to turn the situation to their favor. Times like this, makes me wonder if we didn't waste our time trying to save humanity with idiots and assholes like this running around."

As these dark thoughts circled around the young redhead's mind, the video started again with Boomstick picking up from where they left off.

"Okay, weirdness aside, many Servants have a diverse set of skills unique to each one, some have a Dual Class skill. Meaning they can switch between either Assassin or Caster, like the sexy as hell, wise queen of Assyria, Semiramis herself."

The screen showed the Assassin in question, getting many to blush at her choice of clothing, as Wiz cut in, "Yes, well not only do Servants possess unique skills, but each Servant also has a trump card known as a Noble Phantasm. Noble Phantasm's are 'crystallized mysteries', powerful armaments made using human imagination as their core, and are the weapons and/or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. As humanity's illusions, they embody the ultimate mysteries of a hero as symbols of their existence through historical fact and anecdotes. They can be physical weaponry (IE swords, spears, bows) or support items (shields, rings, crowns). They can also be abstractions such as unique, often magical abilities (even close to or matching True Magic), unique (even conceptual) means of attack, curses, and changes to the very environment and its physical properties. When summoned as Servants in the Holy Grail War, they are the trump cards of the heroes that allow them to overcome others in battle."

"Translation: They're basically moves that are not only trump cards but it's the pinnacle of their legend, what MAKES them a legend. They could be anything a weapon, a certain way of fighting, a boo- A book? Really?" Boomstick laughed a little at that, as he spoke, after getting over his fit of laughter, "Like how Jeanne D'Arc, the Ruler ones Noble Phantasm is called: Luminosité Eternelle! By converting her EX-rank Magic Resistance skill into an equally powerful defense that blocks all physical attacks. It is the crystallization of the legend of Jeanne d'Arc waving her flag on the battlefield and fighting to the very end with hardly any wounds. However, each time she uses it, she accumulates damages, so naturally, she can't withstand an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm multiple times in a row. Incidentally, Jeanne uses this flag mostly to attack in battle. But on the flip side, she can use an attack known as O La Pucelle, a conceptual crystallization weapon interpreted as her burning at the stake in an attack-like fashion but it's also a suicide move as well."

"Indeed Boomstick, While La Pucelle is a very powerful attack, it is a variant of Reality Marble that crystallizes the mental landscape of the user into a sword in the form of flames. After the battle in which this Noble Phantasm was manifested, Jeanne will be extinguished. In exchange for her life, she gains access to pure destructive power that cannot be calculated, which allows her to annihilate anything in existence. However, these flames only destroy that which she considers a dangerous threat that must be destroyed. In other words, this Noble Phantasm cannot be used against simply a strong enemy or out of emotions like hate."

"Huh, so it's a powerful attack but comes with a great personal cost to the user. It kind of sounds like what happens when Midoriya uses his Quirk, ribbit." The frog girl pointed out, as she put a finger to her chin. The green haired boy didn't response, as he was currently writing down everything, he could at lighting speed, his eyes never leaving the notebook, even if he absentmindedly nodded.

Much to the amusement of his classmates.

"These Noble Phantasms, they sound an awful lot like a semblance or one of those Quirks of yours." Oobleck mused to himself, as he wrote in his own notebook, not wanting to miss such an opportunity to see history unfold before his very eyes. As a teacher, huntsman and researcher, there was no other place he would rather be at the moment then right here and now.

"I'm guessing the reason why that move is a 'suicide' one as you described it as, is because Jeanne died when she was burned?" Hawks asked, as he could see how that would work, given how that is what made the D'Arc a 'legend' as Gudako nodded.

"Yep. Its way NPs are considered as a last resort. Not only do they use a MASSIVE amount of mana, but it will also reveal who they truly are and anyone with a brain knows that knowledge is power. Using a Noble Phantasm is a last resort and when revealed, it not only tells you who they are but also reveals weakness too."

"Interesting."

Even if everything so far seemed to be working against her, Cinder knew that she had to keep her head down, her mouth shut and learn all she could, so she could come up with a way to defeat Mazoku and the Avengers. Even if they agreed to this pathetic attempt at a compromise, she knew it would fall soon enough thanks to some overzealous huntsman or soldier, it wouldn't last. Every piece of info was worth its weight in gold and no matter how much it burned her pride, she wasn't foolish enough to pass up such a golden opportunity to learn more about her enemies.

Cinder blinked as she remembered a certain detail, "But wait, wouldn't that mean this Ruler person has two Noble Phantasms?"

Boomstick unintentionally asked the same question as the wannabe Fall Maiden, "So, does that mean Jeanne has TWO Noble Phantasms?"

"Well, yes in a sense. Jeanne has a defensive and offensive Noble Phantasms. Truthfully, it's not entirely uncommon for a Servant to have two Noble Phantasms, Artoria, the Saber one has her sword attack and her Sheath for her blade as Noble Phantasms. Hell, some Servants have completely outrageous Noble Phantasms, like Semiramis Hanging Garden of Babylon, Charlemagne's Charles Patricius, Berserker Lancelot's Knight of Owner and even Iskander's, which is basically using a Reality Marble to drag people into his desert and unleashing his ENTIRE AMRY UPON THEM!"

The screen changed to show the two massive Noble Phantasms and Iskander's army.

"Holy shit, look at them all!" Jean was God smacked at seeing the large army, as were the rest of his fellow soldiers. It didn't matter if he had seen them during the Battle of New York, since he was far too busy trying to stay alive to truly pay attention to the newly arrived roman like soldiers.

"How the hell is that fair?" Mercury growled to himself, as he and Emerald felt their chances at beating Xero and his allies dimming more every second this video went on. Cinder didn't even have the full power of the Fall Maiden, nor the experience required to properly wield them, while the two Magus had YEARS to hone their skills.

In magic and many other subjects, how they hell where they supposed to measure up to that?!

"I don't believe..." Weiss felt her entire world come crashing down and burning by her own heads. Everything she was hearing, watching and knowing it was all true was difficult to comprehend, nigh impossible in her mind.

It SHOULD have been impossible!

Gods, demons, demon pillars, Lostbelts, Servants, magic, Alien gods, immortal monsters, time travel and now this?! She was by no means mentally unstable, cold and demanding yes but not unstable in any sort of way.

Weiss felt like her grip on her reality, her sanity was slipping further and further away as she watched all this. It was all so, so, SO... INSANE! Everything about this whole thing was beyond insane and was threatening to tear apart the reality Weiss knew and grew up in! The more and more she watched, the closer she felt like her sanity, and anger, were close to snapping like a twig.

It was just so...SO DAMN BLOODY RIDICLOUS!

CRAZY!

AND RIDICLOUS

SO INSANE, SO CRAZY AND RIDICLOUS, SO FAR BEYOND THE REALITY OF WEISS SCHNEE THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE INSANITY SHE COULD TAKE!

This kind of thing only happened in those comic books Arc and Ruby read, not real life! All of this, everything it had to be some sort of semblance or advanced technology or, or...something! SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY AND YES, MAYBE HE HAD THE SAME BLOOD AS A SCHNEE, AS HE COULD SUMMON LIKE THEY COULD, YES THAT HAD TO BE IT!

HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF BASTARDIZE AURA TECHNIQUE OR SEMBLANCE OR, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!

NOT MAGIC!

Magic didn't exist, and nothing would change her, Weiss Schnee's mind, not now, not ever!

Poor innocent Weiss, you have no idea what's coming your way.

"Hang on, i saw those soldiers during the battle but where are the other ones?" Eren asked, brows furrowing, "Where are those skeleton guys at?"

"That's because Oni-chan has two Servants that can summon armies." Gudako said, as she lifted up two fingers," The one you are talking, the second one is known as Daruis the Third, the prince of Persia and his undead army of immortal soldiers."

Of course, they were undead and immortal, why wouldn't they be?

Cinder had no way of knowing if the redhead was speaking the truth, talking about a different type of immortality or what but all she knew was that her chances for power we're slipping further and further away, much to her anger. She didn't have the full power of the Fall Maiden, she told herself in a desperate feverish attempt to hold onto her badly bruised ego/pride, it didn't matter how strong they were they were nothing without their Servants.

"I WILL have Fall Maiden's power as my own, it IS my DESTINY! Nothing, least of some damn brat will change it!"

Her hands clenched harshly, so hard they drew blood as her subordinates (IE Emerald) looked worryingly at her but said nothing. The duo learned long ago that once Cinder was in a bad mood, she uses any excuse to turn something or someone into ashes to sate her anger. The duo moved away from her, not wanting to face the blunt fourth of her wrath.

"Holy cow!" Hado yelled, eyes wide in shock and surprise, "How is he doing that? Can every Servant do that or is it some sort of rare thing? Are the soldiers still aware of who they are and willingly work with Iskandar or is it forced? How many other Servants can do that?"

Her two friends didn't answer her, both shocked at the sight of the red bearded bear of a man summoning so many soldiers in just a flash. Now that was a one-man army!

Everyone, even the more stoned faced ones like Ozpin and Sir Night eye were shocked into silence at this piece of information. Just what else did these two masters have up their sleeve?! If Xero had this many Servants with these kinds of power, than what did Gudako have?!

"But Servants aren't all powerful." Wiz suddenly said, cutting off everyone thoughts, as he brought attention back while the screen showed Jack the Ripper in her first ascension form, "Let's take Jack for example: Jack is an Assassin class Servant, despite being a gold card, five-star Servant she isn't all that powerful unless certain parameters are met to unleash their full power."

Boomstick spoke next, "Yeah, we forgot to mention, in this world's version of Chaldea, Servants are not only summoned by two masters, but they have a Bronze, Silver, Gold, star coded system. Bronze and up to two stars are lesser-known legends like Sasaki Kojirō and Mata Hari aren't very well known or are pretty weak in the grand scheme of things. Most Silver coded Servants are either three or four, depending on who they are like Hassan of the Hundred Faces and Dr. Henry Jekyll & Mr. Hyde."

"To go into further detail, the color-coded card system is a tier list." Wiz said, showing the mentioned Servants, within their respectable card forms, "Bronze is the most common with Silver coming in a close second. Now, GOLD carded Servants are the big fish in a sense, the ones you want and the rarest of them all."

"For all intent and purposes, they're the big bosses." Boomstick explained, as the screen changed to show Gilgamesh unleashing his Noble Phantasm on some poor, unnamed enemy, "Like Gilgamesh the King of Heroes himself and of course, Xero's first Servant, Jeanne D'Arc." It ended with Jeanne flying her flag in all its glory.

"It's like this." Wiz said, as the three-color coded cards appeared on screen, each one had a Two, Four and Five printed at the top in order, "Bronze is for the weaker, lesser-known legends like Assassins, as their discretion, remaining completely in shadows is their greatest strength. Hard to counter something or someone if you have no idea who or what they are after all. Silver is for legends that are known but not all that remembered too well or is insignificant in the grand scheme of history itself but aren't really passed on or taught. Gold cards however are the real deals, the legends everyone knows about in one way or another. Perfect examples are, as Boomstick said the King of Heroes, The Holy Maiden, Excalibur and of course the legendary serial killer of London, Jack the Ripper."

"Huh, reminds me of that old Yu-gi-oh card game." Eren muttered to himself, as Armin and Jean nodded, remembering one of the many childhood items, games and all they used to play back in those days.

Days when everything was so much simpler and the worse, they had to worry about was late homework and bad grades. Not having to deal with crazed terrorist doing terrorist things or whatever it is they do, a cult intent on bringing all kinds of living death upon them all and now a new world teeming with monsters lead by an immortal bitch, ancient magical relics and super powered defeneders using the power of the soul. Thinking about all this, made the green-eyed man sigh to himself.

"Fuck me, i miss the days when i was just a brat."

Me too buddy, me too.

Nevertheless, it made a lot of sense.

Everyone was silent, absorbing the knowledge of how the Card system worked and what it meant, as the screen went back to Jack, as Wiz begin to explain.

"Now, back to how this affects Jack herself, it affects her ability on the battlefield. In her legend, Jack killed only prostates at night in the London fog. Now, while that it up for debate if she actually killed them during the times, it was foggy, what can't be denied is that she killed only women."

"Very brutality i might add, tearing their guts and stomachs out just because they wouldn't be her mom. Damn, i would if only to avoid getting my stomach turned inside out." Boomstick shivered at the thought of getting Ripped.

"Yes." Wiz rolled his eyes, as he went on, "Well, the point is that Jack is strong Assassin as far as Assassin class Servants go and she is better at night, against a female enemy. Seeing as she could generate the fog on her own, meeting the other two parameters are met, she is at her full strength. Not to say that her master doesn't give her enough power as it is, just that meeting these parameters more or less, gives her a boost to her ability to fight."

"So, good to know even Annie and Mikasa would have a hard time fighting her." Reiner suddenly said, getting some chuckles from the rest of the team, very few could take on the two 'monsters' of the 104th. With Annie having her crystal skin mutation and Mikasa with her Ackerman bloodline, it made the two females as dangerous as Levi.

"Send a monster to fight a monster, eh?" Ymir teased the small blonde, who as always said nothing, even if Armin looked a bit flustered on his wife's behalf but said nothing. Annie was more than capable of taking care of herself and if need be, she would beat both Reiner and Ymir if they pissed her off enough for her to unleash her tightly controlled anger.

Forgot diamonds, crystal punch's hurt like a motherfucker!

"So, what blondie and Ackerman some sort of super solider than?" Roman questioned, "Cause i saw captain Levi fighting that Kenny guy and even as a huntsman, I could barely keep up with either of them?"

"Something like that." Armin said, not wanting to expose his wife's little secret. As part of the job description, Annie's statues as a mutant and what she could do we're keep under wraps from people like the MRD and more importantly, keep secret from organizations like FOH (Friends Of Humanity) and other purity groups like them.

Even if they were making moves against his boss and the rest of the Avengers but nothing too violet.

Yet.

"Each Servant has something to bring to the table with their own unique and dangerous abilities in their own right." Wiz spoke, "But here's the thing, a Servants main weakness is their master."

"Yeah, if the master bites the dust, then a Servant will too." Boomstick said, as he took over explaining, "While yes there ARE ways for a Servant to stay alive after the master dies but all of them are pretty horrible. To be blunt, a Servant needs a constant supply of Mana in some shape or form to stay martialized in the world of the living. Some Servants can act independently from their master, while others are completely dependent on their master for mana to not only live but to survive as well."

"Like Karna, the son of the sun god Taiyōshin no Ko, the invulnerable hero of the Indian epic Mahabharat, as a hero on the vanquished side." Wiz introduced the hero, as the screen changed to show said man, "A Servant of the Lancer class, gold card, five star and very much worth having on your roster of Servants, despite some complications." Wiz said, once more reading over his notes.

"Mostly his constant need for mana, his chivalrous and the fact he's a literalist." Boomstick chipped in.

"Literalist?" Both Ruby and Denki asked at the same time, as Weiss and Momo sighed in perfect union.

"Meaning, the man takes everything at a literary face value." Wiz defined, unknowingly answering the red/yellow duo's question.

"And that's not including that some Servants are, well, difficult to work with." Boomstick said, trying not to sound insulting but couldn't think of any other better word for it, "Some Servants are for a lack of a better word: Broken."

"That is a good word for it Boomstick." Wiz nodded at his co-host, "In a Holy Grail War, a wish is offered to the victory, and some are very, very, VERY desperate to get that wish that they will do ANYTHING to get it."

"That's not including that some Servants are a bit, well crazy and delusional too." Boomstick said, as the screen brought up the images of Phantom of the Oprea and Kiyohime, "Like these two. Well, mostly Phantom these days, as Xero did the one thing you shouldn't do: Stick your dick in crazy but remarkable, it actually knocked some sense into the dragoness. Makes you wonder if all these crazy girls just need some dick to be just, well not be crazy. I mean, it worked out pretty well for Xero and most yandere's don't get dick and they're still crazy. So, maybe he's onto something."

"Wait, seriously?!" Sun yelled, shocked that the black-haired teen would break the most sacred rule known to all men. Don't stick your dick in crazy. Seriously not even Neptune would do that, and his best friend was known to sleep with anything that bat their eyelashes at him.

"That, Boomstick was nothing more than a combination of pure dumb luck and the fact Xero was drunk when he did her." Wiz said simply, as everyone could see Boomstick raise his eyebrows.

"But i thought old Reeps couldn't get drunk."

"He can't, well at least not the normal way, as this was HIS version of getting drunk. Namely 14 days, seven hours, 33 seconds of being awake and hitting Shuten's personal stash of alcohol."

"Yikes and i thought all night gaming, while drinking Coke-Cola was bad for you." Boomsticked winced at the picture painted in his head.

"How the hell can he stay up that long?" This came from the visitors from Japan, unable to believe how long Xero stayed awake, they knew good work ethic was a good thing to have but staying awake for fourteen days?

That's just insane!

"That's pretty common of my master." Olga sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose, "It's not that he's a workaholic, he's just got it in his head that he has to work harder than anyone else to keep everyone safe. Even back in our Chaldea days, he always had to go above and beyond what was expected of him, ignoring basic necessities like sleep and food."

"But thanks to his Yoma half, he can actually get away with it and not kill himself, plus it's come in pretty handy at times." Gudako chimed in, pointing out that some of her Oni-chan's habits weren't always out of some sense of needing to prove himself, to others or himself.

A perfect example being the time he was hunted down by the Inquisition with Hugo and Amicia. After all, it was kind of hard for anyone to sleep, when the time you slept is the very time when bloodthirsty rats came out to eat anything and everything in their bloody path.

Who would have guessed that particular adventure would be a good test run to see what he could do with his Yoki alone?

"However, master's do get something to protect themselves and give their Servant a boost if need." Wiz said, as the screen changed to show the Command Seal's on Xero's arm, "In short terms, Command Spells or Command Seals are the three absolute commands the Master possesses which can be used in Battle. One Command Spell can be used to fully heal one Servant or increase their NP Gauge by 100%, while three Command Spells can be used to completely revive your Servants if need be."

"For the most part in a normal HGW, masters only get three Command Seals, as per Servant but this HGW was anything but normal." Boomstick said, as the screen changed again to show Xero's upper body, covered in Command Seals, "Due of the number of Servants he has summoned, Xero has more than fifty Command Seals. These Seals aren't just there to look cool or even command a Servant but are undeniable proof you are indeed a master and if things take a turn for the worst, these Seals can force a Servant to follow an order, whether they want to or not. If that wasn't enough, the Card system allows Xero one more unique ability only one HGW has ever seen."

"So that's how it is, that's how their doing it! How can i get those kinds of Seals?"

Various people thought to themselves, all having a new target and were scheming of ways to somehow steal the Seals for their own purposes.

Whether they wanted those seals to command the Servants for good (Ironwood, Winter, Theodore, team NDGO, Whitely) bad (Cinder, Mercury, Styker, Trask), for their own selfish gain (Blake, Weiss, Emerald), to support a cause (Seinna, Illa, Senator Kelly, Sleet) and just pretty everything in-between wanted those Seals to get their grabby hands on the Servants themselves, namely the key to controlling them.

That was just naming a few.

But it could wait, as they wanted to know more about the Servants.

"The Class cards." Wiz suddenly spoked, as the screen changed once again to show the cards in question, "These cards are artifacts created for the Ainsworth Holy Grail War, a system of summoning Heroic Spirits similar to Servants. Differing from allowing a Heroic Spirit to manifest, the cards encapsulate the Heroic Spirits and subsume their wills so that a magus can access their power for themselves, used by the participants of the Holy Grail War to fight amongst each other. For Xero and Gudako, they have used these Cards to turn the tides of fights many times and his most common used Card isn't what you would think."

"You'd think he would use Jeanne's Card, being a Ruler, a support type but nope. Xero doesn't use Jeanne's card too much but actually uses Jalter's Class Card, which is probably one of the reasons his future self-became an Avenger in the first place." Boomstick said with a shrug, as the screen changed again to show Xero having merged with Jalter.

Where's before his skin was a healthy pale, it looked exactly the same as the Avenger's, a moonlight pale with his long haired now turned sliver with black streaks rather than the sliver streaks, with dual-colored eyes of purple on the right and a twisted gold on the left. He wore what could only be described as a male version of the Avenger's outfit, with the metal headpiece and the woman's black cape hanging off his shoulders in a menacing stance with a wide, toothy grin on his face, twisting the spear in his hand.

"Now that's something you don't see every day." Hawks commented, as many nodded, with those closest to Xero or at least, seen him fight have seen this transformation before, so they weren't too surprised to see this form.

"It almost sounds like your Quirk, Tokoyami." The bird headed boy nodded at All Might's successor, idly as he looked at his clenching hands in front of him, thinking about Dark Shadow.

"If Lord Mazoku can do something like that, is it possible for me and Dark Shadow to do the same or something similar?"

It was food for thought.

"Now these Class Cards are different from the ones used during the Ainsworth Holy Grail War, as the Heroic Spirit during that war weren't within the Cards themselves but these are." Wiz said, as the screen showed the same image, only Xero now wearing Jalter like a second skin, went off, killing several Nazi soldiers with no mercy in his attacks, "Think of it like this, Xero is now using Jalter's power and Servant body as his own. She was basically in the back seat of the car, while Xero was in the driver's seat steering the wheel. This is proof of how deep their bond is and to actually merge not only their bodies but their souls as well, with no secrets between them is the deepest level of trust a master and Servant can have in one another."

"Yeah, with the two merged, Xero can directly power Avenger's power to the fullest and Jalter doesn't have to worry about protecting him during the battle, since the two are now one." Boomstick said, as the screen keep playing, "Thanks to the years of trust built up between the two, one can easily call Xero and Jalter the ultimate tag team."

Trust.

A one syllable word that may not seem like much in the grand scheme of things and it didn't even sound very important but that the word "Trust" was the latch key to everything. That one word alone has caused the rise and fall of the world's largest empires throughout history and have gotten the very best, heroes and villains alike, to die.

It was something Gudako mused on from time to time but seeing the look on everyone's faces, they were slowly beginning to realize just how important that one little word truly was.

The deeper the trust between master and Servant was, the better you fight.

That was simple fact.

"One that Cinder woman clearly doesn't understand or doesn't care to understand."

Gudako was not blind to the mocking and angry looks the black-haired woman sent their way, once certain topics like trust and how their powers worked via bloodlines were brought up. She knew her type, the arrogant, spoiled, high than thou person with a stick up her ass, believing she earned everything coming her way and was willingly to go about the worst way possible to gain what she wanted.

Just because she suffered a little.

"What happened to you i wonder? Mommy didn't give you enough hugs, daddy didn't give his little princess what she wanted, when she wanted?"

It wasn't her style to mock people like this most of the time but like her Oni-chan, she LOVED putting people like her in her place, tearing down their deluded beliefs and forcing them to face cruel reality.

Again, this wasn't what she normally liked to do but people like Cinder just rubbed her the wrong way and the amount of evil shit they would willingly do to get what they wanted made her sick to her stomach.

"Now, that all sounds like it's one hell of a deal." Wiz said, as the screen changed back to show Jack once more, "And normally you'd be right. You get powerful, loyal bodyguards that will protect you like their life depends on it-"

"Because it does!" Boomstick interrupted, as Wiz keep going, ignoring the remark.

"And while it does, that doesn't mean the summoning doesn't have draw backs." Wiz finished, as the screen changed to show Jack creeping on Xero's sleeping form in his room within Chaldea, "Because some Servants, are, well..." He trailed off trying to find the right word but was once again interrupted by his co-host.

"A whole lot of them are batshit crazy and if my ex-wives have taught me anything, it's that there is no limit to crazy."

"The good kind of crazy or bad kind?" Tony asked his adopted daughter, who stayed silent, much to his slowly growing horror.

"Yeah, that." Wiz sighed, as that was the best way to put it, the screen still showing Jack slowly creeping on a sleeping Xero, knife in hand, "Once again, a perfect example of this is Jack the Ripper. As mentioned before, having lived on the streets and desperately searching for her mother, Jack has brutally killed many women in her search and as her master, Xero had to take the role of her mother. Even if he is a guy, like Artoria and Mordred, gender means nothing to Jack, and her mother is her master. Because of this fact alone, many Magus aren't compatible with Jack, as many would deny her the love she sought and end up killing them within a day. But Xero was able to pass all of Jack's qualifications and requirements to be her mother."

"But that doesn't mean he's completely safe from her deadly knives." Boomstick interjected, "In fact, he's more than likely to be on the receiving end of them, simply because in little Jack mind, the best way to show someone her gratitude is cut their stomach open and crawl in, not unlike Luke Skywalker crawling into his Tauntaun."

What?

"That is actually a very accurate description." Wiz said, supporting Boomstick's words, "Jack is by no means an evil child, in fact, it's just that. She IS very much a child at heart and mind, despite actually being very smart, as stated before Jack has the mentally of a five-year-old with little to no morals. Not because she's evil but because she quite literally does not know any better. She doesn't feel sympathy or remorse for those she kills, simply because it wasn't taught to her when she was younger and any kindness, any morals she might have had in her first life had been beaten out of her. No one was there for her from her 'birth'. No one taught her right from wrong, no one befriended her, no one to give her a home, no one to shield her from the cold, no one to shield her from the cruelty of the world she was born into and more importantly no one LOVED her. It is that very love she seeks so desperately that lead her to committing these acts, simply because she doesn't know what she has to do to earn love and therefore defaults to what she knows best."

"Killing." Bakugo of all people answered that unasked question, with an uncharacteristically serious face and felt a dash of sympathy for the young serial killer. Unlike most villains, this girl didn't choose to be a killer, she did what she had to in order to survive and as Wiz said, she didn't know any better. Even if he would never admit, Bakugo was thankful for the "Old Hag" and his father being there for him when he was born.

He didn't want to image what would have happened had he'd been orphaned like this girl.

Silently, Izuku was thankful for his own mother's love, having no idea what would have happened to him, a Quirk less boy in a world where's your Quirk determined how you were treated.

That was a lie.

Izuku knew EXACTLY what would have happened and he would have ended up similar or worse than Jack. Something worse like like Shigaraki.

"I really am a scaredy cat, like that girl and Mazoku said. I can't image what would have happened if i didn't have my own mother and father. Would i have ended up just like Ilia, Seinna or...Adam?" Blake clenched her fist tightly, biting her lower lip in frustration at both those who mocked her and herself for her own cowardliness. As much as she hated to admit, those two had a point in calling her a coward and while that may be true, that didn't change the fact what Mazoku was doing is wrong! Besides, it may have been better to leave this Jack girl with Mazoku, while she took the lion earned Archer and Berserker with her, along with the other Faunus Servants when they left this place.

It didn't matter how well he supposedly treated them, if they had any pride as a Faunus at all, in this life or one of their many lives, surely, they would jump at the chance at having a Faunus master.

Right?

"Man, i am so glad mom raised me instead of Raven or else, i might have ended up a cowardly bitch like her." Yang personally thanked her lucky stars that she was raised by Summer over Raven. Her egg donor probably would have left her for the Grimm at her first hindrance or first sign of weakness in some sort of deluded philosophy of "The weak die, the strong live" Bullshit.

Thank fuck Summer raised her.

"Maybe i should contact mom, dad and the rest of my sisters when this is over. Maybe i can ask the Curator to allow me to call them or even bring them here, still have to warn dad and the others about CA and the possibility of what my semblance is. Oh Brothers, i hope it's not Null." Jaune thought to himself, tempted to bite his fingernail but held himself back. Not only was it a disgusting habit but if there was one thing, he'd learn over the course of watching these videos, it's that worrying was useless. The girls probably wouldn't like it, nor Saphron having to move from Argus with her wife Terra and their son, Adrian but it was most certainly better than then alternative.

Being used as human test subjects for a semblance designed to kill.

Maybe he should just ask the Curator to bring them all here and now, save him the trouble of having to explain something that is beyond far-fetched and beyond the realm of being believable unless being shown cold, hard proof of it. The irony that this all started because he wanted to a huntsman and to be the very thing that doomed his family in the Null world was not lost to Jaune.

"I just hope Dad is willingly to listen to reason and accept Xero-sensei's help."

His father might be a proud man with a stubbornness streak to match but Nichols Arc would protect his family above all else, even if that meant losing his pride in the process.

Pride was worthless if everything you hold dear is gone after all.

"She's just like me. Could i... could i have ended up like her?"

It was a sobering thought for Emerald, looking at what could have essential happened to her if she had played her cards wrong. One wrong move and the green haired girl could have become just another dead body, rotting away in the alleyways of Vacuo with no one the wiser for it. Grouping up as a street rat and having to do just about every bad thing under the hot sun to survive had left Emerald bitter and hateful of just about everyone.

She was especially hateful of those who were born with everything like Schnee and Mazoku.

If she understood it right, in the Magus world blood was everything as it decides how you we're treated, you're standing and even magical ability, mostly depending on how many of these so called "Magic Circuits" you had, whatever that meant. If you didn't have half of what Mazoku had, you were treated like she was back in her younger days. Worthless trash that would amount to nothing and be nothing to everyone.

But that was beside the point, as for a moment, a very brief moment, Emerald felt like she had some sort of kinship with the young serial killer before cold logic washed over her thoughts.

That girl would and tear her body to shreds without a second thought if she dared to threaten her beloved "Mommy".

Even if Jack was the kind of person Cinder would have loved to recruit, it was clear she was devoted to the teenager, who was clearly their enemy. Part of Emerald wonder if it was possible to turn their girl to their side. Unlikely to happen but maybe it could be done, she just needed to find the right motivation is all. Everybody wanted something and to secure someone's loyalty, it was to give them what they wanted.

Simple enough.

"Being a whiny brat?" Boomstick asked in what sounded like a joking manner, trying to lighten the mood but Wiz answered him in a far more serious tone that destroyed his attempt.

"Ripping and killing everyone." Wiz said, cutting off any chance of humor in the current situation, "Despite being an Assassin, Jack is one of his strongest Servants he has in his deck, at least as far as Assassin's go and with the likes of Gilgamesh and Scathath, that's a very high bar to reach, let alone met in their own right. These two are arguable part of the top ten Servants you can get but in his entire roster of summoned Servants, these two AREN'T the most powerful."

"What Wiz is talking about is pure power wise, as very few can stand up to Gilgamesh instant kill move, 'Throw All Manner Of Weapons At You Without Stopping' and the Queen of Shadow's pointy spears or even Emyia's ridiculous power to copy other NPs in sword form with no chance of stopping. Nope, none of these Servants stack up to the pure, raw power of...THIS GIRL!"

The screen changed to reveal, Tamamo No Mae!"

Huh?

Everyone titled their heads at the sudden appearance of the Fox Maiden on screen

"Her?" Sam brows furrowed, squinting his eyes at the fox, "But isn't she a Caster?"

"Allow me to explain, reading from TYPE-MOON, to explain her background as her true power is the result of her own actions. Wiz said, getting everyone to quiet down, as he pulled out a pair of obliviously joke glasses. It was a pair of oversized green glasses that got some chuckles from the viewers, as he spoke, "Tamamo-no-Mae is a soul originating directly from the sun goddess Amaterasu as a Divided Spirit and therefore a higher order of being than the Earth Spirit of myth. Her manifested form is actually a Yakanjackal (野干ジャッカル?), who suffers the fate of bearing cursory resemblance to a Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit . She is also frequently mistaken for an Uka no MitamaWP, or one of the many fox spirit messengers under the employment of Inari Ookami Regarding her background, she became curious about the lives of her worshipers, whose seemingly inconsequential lives were a source of fascination. Most perplexing was their devotion toward a deity with no name or shape. At first, she wanted to scold these creatures for their weakness, and enact divine retribution upon evil-doers as was wont of the kin of a goddess. However, as she continued observing the human condition, she learned of their great capacity for perseverance. Able to smile in happiness despite the dark acts of their brethren or their frail stature, one generation could easily shrug off the regrets of the last and continue to love. Tamamo-no-Mae soon desired to become a human so that she could experience these emotions. She then relinquished her divinity and memories to reincarnate, as a young human girl, in the old province of Izumo. Her childhood name while alive was Mizukume (藻女?).As a child, she was said to be the human form of a white-faced, gold-furred nine-tailed fox. At the age of eighteen, she started serving the court of Emperor Toba, who had fallen in love with her at first sight. She became a court lady and called herself Tamamo-no-Mae. She would be his lady-in-waiting under her current name and was his favorite, possessing great beauty and knowledge. However, her divine origins would eventually be her undoing. One morning, her head had sprouted fox ears; she managed to conceal them for a month. From there, the exact accounts vary, but what is clear is that she was exposed as a fox by an Onmyouji. By her accounts, it was Abe-no-Seimei, who had been investigating the cause of Toba's mysterious illness. Whether or not Mizukume led the emperor on or their love was real is uncertain, and countless tales of the matter had differing answers.

"She fled from the inner sanctum of the Imperial Court. They sent hounds after her, and it was the first time in Japan that a fox had been hunted by Hounds. She fled and cried in the fields of NasuWP (那須?) because she was hunted by those who claimed to love her. Foxes gathered around her, saying things like "you have come a long way", and "what a rough journey you had". She wished the foxes to understand her feelings and hoped they would encourage her. It was then she realized who she truly was when the fox comforted her, stating "aah, what a fool I was". She was betrayed and hunted by the humans who feared her. She did nothing wrong, she only tried to help them prosper. She was forced to flee the village simply because she was not human. Her infamy grew at the plains of Nasu after fleeing from the court, where she met an eighty thousand man army that was dispatched at the behest of the retired emperor to kill her. The soldier came screaming "kill the fox demon!", and she tried to apologize to them but nobody listened. She fought back, yelling "all right, let's do this!", and killed everyone. During the second encounter against the force, she regretted her actions and tried to reason with them. It rained arrows for three straight days and night and nothing seemed to click with them. Standing in a hail of arrows covered in blood, she cried "I was not trying to fool anyone. I'll leave now so please just forget all about me." The assault continued from the humans who were filled with hatred, and she realized humans were fragile and their lives were precious. They were narrow minded, filled with hatred and self-righteousness. She was wrong from the beginning, much like the humans and religion. Her perspective influenced her belief. Even though a goddess, she was a fool and she didn't realize her mistake until her final moments. No matter how much humans respect God, and through priesthood try to understand and be one of them, their efforts are wasted. "There is no way for a human to become a god", Tamano no Mae died screaming when shot by an enchanted arrow. She was hunted and killed as an enemy of mankind. She doesn't want revenge because there are things that even a goddess can't do. She was killed trying to defend herself against an army of 80,000 soldiers sent by the emperor. Her corpse was said to have become the Killing Stone (殺生石, Sesshō-seki?), which released a problematic cursed poison that killed approaching people and animals until it was shattered by the monk Gennou Shinshou (源翁心昭, Gennō Shinshō?) and its fragments dispersed to three places in Japan named TakadaWP. Furthermore, the remnants that were scattered at that occasion became Osaki Kitsunes and Inukamis and said to have been turned into familiars by many Magus from various places. She cannot be called a human-spawned Heroic Spirit as the facet of a goddess, but she willingly embraces the role in order to "become a good wife." Accepting the limits inherent in the role of a Servant, many of her original powers have been sealed away. Even before becoming a servant, she killed untold numbers of people, possibly holding the world record for murder."

Those visitng from Japan all felt shame at how the true origins of Tamamo No Mae were layed bared for all to hear and all the deaths she caused was nothing more than a case of self defense. It sounded an awful lot like how when mutants reveal themselves, certain groups made it a point to not only to kill them but made sure they suffered for it, no matter what they did.

Even if most were indeed innocent, many would take the hunters side simply because they weren't 'human'. Little wonder why Lord Mazoku or any Magus and mutant alike did not want to reveal themselves publicly, when history clearly stated that they would die a horrible, painful death.

History was written not by good people but by the winners and wether they were good or not is irrelevant.

Wiz paused, taking a deep breath as folded his massive glasses away, as Boomstick spoke up, "Now, what the hell does all that have to do with her being the strongest Servant in Xero's rooster?"

"Yeah, i understand some of her powers being sealed due to her being a Servant but i don't understand how she's so dangerous, aside from her fluffy tails and ears." Spider-Man said, titling his head to the side, "Is it one of those things were 'knowldge is power' kind of things or is it those fluffy tails, cause they look real comfy?"

"Probably." Logan took a swing of his beer, before saying more, "From what i can understand spider, is that a mage's power comes from their knowledge and those magic circuit things."

"Well, its actually pretty simple." Wiz said, "While Gligamesh, Artoria and Merlin are some of Xero's top Servants in terms of power and skill, Tamamo is not whole."

"What?"

"Eh?" Most of the aduicnce argeed with Boomstick.

"You see, the this universe, Magus can summon Servants and some of those Servants have alteritve versions of themselves. Jeanne has her Avenger self, Artoria has her Altered self, Gilgamesh Archer has the older, Caster verison of himself, Iskander has his younger version also a Rider, heck even Elizabeth Bathory has not only several different class versions of herself, she has an older version known as Carmilla, the Blood Countess." Wiz explained, as the screen showed the vairous Servants mentioned before rolling back to the Fox, "Not only does she have a mirrior that can be used to ressurect the dead and is an anti world noble phantasm; even though its actually sealed and she uses it as a magic fuel, Tamamo isn't at her full power. That's because her power was split among the 'Tamamo Nine', namely among her altered versions: Tamamo Cat, Tamamo Lancer, Tamamo Vitch, Tamamo Gucci, Tamamo Delmo, Tamamo-no-Hime and Tamamo Aria. Though as far as we know, only the original, Cat, Lancer and Vitch can be summoned."

"Not that is matters, as in Tamamo's final ascension form, she has FIVE of her tails, so if we count it off, Cat and Lancer have one tail each and Vitch has TWO tails, which makes nine." Boomstick counted off on his fingers, "If this willy fox were to absorb these three, she would regain her full Nine Tails Fox power and by her own admission, she is a terrible demon that if she regains her full power, she could destroy the Multiverse."

"SAY WHAT?!

Many looked to Gudako in shock, as the redhead merely shrugged, "It's true, i think. We haven't really looked too much into it, as Oni-chan only addressed how dumb she was acting, thinking that we would hate her for that fact she's so strong or even a demon. Seriously, Oni-chan befriended and even fucked two Oni's, i don't think much can faze him anymore."

"Perhaps it is for the best that the Curator sent Jacques/Adam away."

Both Ironwood and Seinna thought at the same time, completely unaware they were on the same wavelength. James knew that, despite what many believed, Jacques did in fact not hate Faunus just because they had an extra pair of appendages but because of the White Fang's actions against his company. The fact they were so easy to exploit and did not fit into his narrowed world view only justified his actions.

But if the man had heard just how powerful this Tamamo was claimed to be, then he would do everything in his power to be rid of her or control her. An action he was certain that Xero would take personal and make it his personal mission to destroy everything the man held dear.

This train of thought went through Seinna's mind, as Adam would never allow someone as powerful as Tamamo get away with her "treachy to her own kind". Even if she actually was some sort of demon or Oni or whatever she called herself, she looked like a Faunus. A Faunus with extra features but a Faunus nevertheless and many of Adam's followers would lap up whatever he said and cause a new war to break out because of his bruised pride and ego. She couldn't let it happen and knew she would have to deal with him.

The sooner the better.

After all the revelations and truth bombs dropped one after another, had already drained every one of their complaints, as they all quietly sat back down, waiting for the next truth bomb to be dropped on their heads.

And they did not have to wait for long.

"Now, while this is all well and good, the one thing that is common for ALL masters suffer is the 'Dreaming cycle." Wiz spoke, as the screen changed to show Xero, asleep but sweating badly, twisting and turning in his sleep, "To be blunt, masters and Servants can actually share dreams, even memories with one another. Because of the bond shared between the two, the deeper the bond is, the more memories you will see further into the Servants memoires and the more you suffer."

"To be even more blunt, both Xero and Gudako have had a front row, first person perspective of their Servants life." Boomstick said, as he gestured to Xero's sleeping form, "From their first steps to their teenage years, to becoming a legend and more importantly, how painful it is to die via being BURNED to death and betrayed by the people you swore to save or pretty much every horrible death any legend has suffered. That's not even including being stabbed, poisoned, beaten to death, arrows ripping through his flesh, ripped in half, left to rot in prison for a crime he did not commit, slit throat and pretty died every single death possible a hundred times over that would leave anyone screaming bloody murder in the middle of the night, sweating like a dog on a hot summer day."

As predicted Xero shot out of his bed, gripping his sheets, eyes wild as he looked around for non-exist enemies.

"And I just want to throw this out here, Xero summoned the Queen of Victory, Boudica and since he can see into her past from a first-person perspective." Boomstick said slowly, a frown on his face, "The deeper the bond, the more memories he see's and seeing as he reached max bond level, that means Xero had basically been in Boudica's place when the Roman's not only invaded her homeland but brutally raped her and her daughters. Yeah, you know Wiz, after hearing this, i don't think i want to summon a Servant."

Neither did anyone else for that matter.

Many were horrified at this tab bit of information, as Tony had once again found himself gritting his teeth so hard that they long since should have broken but by some miracle, they didn't. He wasn't angry at his son, no, once again he found his anger directed at himself for being unable to help his son, or his daughter, as she might have been through something similar.

Maybe worse.

"Oh god i really hope not."

"Yet despite all that, the kid still keeps going, keeps pushing on and managed to keep some of his sanity intact." Roman lowed his hat in respect towards his new boss, "Got to give the kid respect for that." Neo nodded in agreement, while she herself had never been raped before, the act left a bad taste in her mouth. Hey, she might be a killer and sadiest but rape is a whole different kind of dark shit, she would not touch with a ten-foot poll.

"It is impressive." Ozpin nodded in agreement with the criminals, gaining raised eyebrows from the duo, "You forgot, Mr. Touchwick, that Lord Mazoku and Lady Stark are not the only ones to have 'died' several times. Not all of them were clean, as many were, as the children would say, very bloody."

"You've died before?" All Might asked in shock at the older man, "Forgive my rudeness but i find that hard to believe, Mr. Ozpin."

"It's quite alright." The headmaster waved it off, "My situation is indeed different from these two, but i have died many times myself and i would prefere to wait till this over to explain why that is. But rest assured, i know what it's like to die in many horrible ways and more than once, i myself felt like i would go insane from the endless cycle of death. It is not an easy thing to shoulder, especially when you are alone, but it seems Lord Mazoku and Lady Stark are very fortune to have people there, by their side to help them through it. It does help to talk to someone about the experience, as i have found myself rarely doing but when i can, it is very lightened to my own heart and burden."

"Just how 'fortune' did you get Ozpin?"

Glynda wondered to herself worryingly. Despite all that had happened, all the secrets and lies that had been exposed, it did not change the fact Ozpin did everything in his power to keep humanity (And Faunus-kind) moving forward against Salem and the darkness of the Grimm with no help for the first of his reincarnations.

It was a wonder why Ozpin wasn't driven to insanity due to the viciuous cycles of death and rebirth, but it made the blonde truly wonder if Ozpin was as fine as he protrayed himself or like his self in the Null vesion of Remnant.

Seeing an end in sight and willingly to do everything in his power to ensure Xero ended Salem once and for all.

"And it should be noted that because of this, Xero often doesn't kill rapists." Wiz suddenly said, "Hell, he doesn't hurt any of them more than he has to...at least, not psychically. You see, sometime after escaping Junko's death game and learning some of her illusions magic, Xero developed a new illusion spell he calls 'Demonic Veil' Illusion. An illusion that attacks all five senses and makes a person feel like they are really under attack, even if they are perfectly alright out in the real world. Meaning Xero can repeat the process as many times as he wants, until the victim is driven to madness and those criminals get sent to an asylum."

"Might seem cruel but it's either that, he kills them or the rapist in question either goes to jail or gets off scoot free to rape again." Boomstick said, not feeling sorry for those types of people, "But that only for the worst type of rapist though. The ones that brutally kill their victims to keep them silent or worse, those who rape little kids. Meh, if they didn't want this, then they shouldn't have done it in the first place, so i say, fuck them. The fact those that rape kids are 'well liked in prison' by both guard and other prisoners, that might actually be more merciful than being sent to prison. Honestly, this could have been avoided if they didn't do it in the first place, so i can see why Xero does it. It's their own fault for doing it in the first place and now they have to suffer the consequences for them."

"But isn't that what's prison is for? To make the regret and preventing these kinds of crime from happening again?"

Many thoughts but opted to keep their mouths shut on the subject, knowing full well it would lead nowhere, not even the heroes felt like they had any place to say. Xero was clearly committed to this path, not because he thought he knew better like most teenagers, but because he KNEW the pain of rape.

He had seen it, felt it, through Boudica's memories if these scenes are to be trusted. Truth be told, the more they learned, the more horrfied they became at what they were seeing and those who wanted a Servant, were slowly turning away from the idea.

Something just weren't worth the sheer amount of pain needed to acquire it!

Plus, as much as they hated to admit, crime HAS gone down since the Reaper appeared, cowing criminals into submission, acting like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. Crude and ruthless but very effective.

Argue all you want but people like results and Xero gets results.

"Regardless, all the Servants have lived lives before and some of them have been broken mentally and i do mean BROKEN." Wiz said in a grim tone, "As we have already seen one such Servant, Jack, there are sadly more. One of them being the Valkyrie, Brynhildr, who's Noble Phantasm is not only powerful, but it's cursed, by Odin himself, her with the compulsion to KILL those she loves. The more she loves them, the more her curse will try to force her to kill her beloved."

"Yes, she has tried to kill Oni-chan, several times and thankfully failed." Gudako said simply, as many turned to her, "While the curse is still in effect, we managed to find a way around it, despite the fact Oni-chan is still looking for a way to break Odin's curse and if all else fails, we ask Thor to take us to Asgard, then get old bready to break the curse. Simple."

"But thanks to careful wording and use of the Command Seals, old Reeps was able to stop the Valkyrie's impulse to kill him every second of every day. Man, the All-Father is a damn dick." Boomstick commented, making many agree with him on that part.

"And that's not even including some of the Servants who actually fought over who gets their master's soul when he dies." Wiz said, shocking everyone, "No seriously, this is not a joke. Jalter, the four Valkyrie's and Ereshkigal. Honestly, the only reason why Ereshkigal hasn't wisked Xero to the underworld yet, is because of the 'Rin' in her keeping her in check."

"And that's not including the yandere Servants consiting of Shuten Douji, Kiyohime, Mash, Brynhildr, Ushiwakamaru, Jack, Hassan of the Sereinty, Jalter, Minamoto no Raikou and Artoria Alter Lancer." Boomstick said, with complete confidence in his voice.

"Artoria Lancer Alter?" Wiz however voiced his confusion, raising an eyebrow at his co-host, "How do you figure that?"

"Besides the fact she once stabbed Shirou in one timeline?" Boomstick question, as he falred his arms, "Look at her Wiz, why would she wear such a flashy outfit if she wasn't a yandere?" He spoke, as the woman's image came on screen, getting a lot of hot faces, hard on's and drool from a certain pair of perverts.

"Gudako, is this true?" Pepper asked, worry falling over her again, as the redhead sighed at her adopted mom's worry. She hated making her worried but knew that she had to tell the truth, even if it would scare her even more than stricly nesscary.

"Yes, mama but don't worry, we've got a handle on it. Besides," Gudako grinned as she presented her with her own Command Seals, "that's what these are for. Please, trust us when i say, we have it handled."

Pepper still looked worried but nodded, trusting her adopted daughter, as Tony stayed silent.

"Hell, not even in his dreams Xero is safe." Wiz said, as he begins to explain, "Long story short but more than once, he has been pulled into an astral plane of existence to fight otherworldly creatures or even pulled into one of his Servants dreams."

"Yep, and while having Servants is cool, Xero does have three unique magical abilities that he and he alone can use." Boomstick said, as the screen changed and show-

"Hey, it's you Mr. Curator!" Nora yelled, pointing at the screen that showed a younger Xero meeting the mysterious Curator for the first time, as the man in question smiled.

"Indeed, it is, Ms. Valkyrie."

"Indeed, known only as the 'Eight Trails of Magic' among the Magus who still believe in the Goddess of magic, is a test for those to see if they are still 'worthy' of their magic." Wiz spoke, "Basically, think of it as a way for Magus to prove themselves that they are indeed worthy of their magic by surviving without it, thus proving they are indeed worthy of it. Odd way of showing it but okay. We don't know all the details but what we do know, it begin sometime after the Goddess of Magic, Lady Magic, stripped magic from most of humanity and leaving only a select few with magic, inbeuting them with the magical nervers needed to wield magic. While it has been debated that if she actually created these trails or not, Xero does believe it. Hell, his mother was one of the few selected that had taken trails of her own but only completed two, as he's completed three. The one overseeing them is the omniscient voyeur and recorded of the Multiverse's stories, The Curator."

"Yeah, the guy that looks like he walked out of the 1800's era." Boomstick joked, as he turned serious, "Though much like the Trails themselves, it's unclear WHY this guy is the one overseeing them or what he truly is. All we known for certain is this: The Curator is timeless, recording stories of life and death in his own small section of a vast repository containing every story ever told. He's been doing it for thousands of years, he supposes, but he can't remember when he started, or whether there was ever a beginning to what he does. But now, for reasons that he can't quite understand, he's been given the opportunity to talk to somebody. Those who are take the Trails. He knows that there are 'rules'. He's not supposed to interfere, but he's excited, and can get a little carried away. He has seen things that the player has probably missed. Important things. But he's not permitted to tell them what these things are…directly. So, he drops hints where he feels he can, in the hope that it will help the person in question will recognize his brilliance in hindsight. But don't expect him to be straightforward. His hints can be somewhat cryptic and quiet frankly fustrating as hell. God do i hate puzzles and cryptic words, they makes my brain hurt."

"Is that true?" Summer asked the Curator, as the man nodded in conformation.

"Indeed." He replied solemnly, "I cannot remember a time i haven't been in this vast library, watching, recording and counting the endless number of stories i have seen over these many years. Do not feel sorrow for me, Mrs. Rose, perhaps this is simply my fate, perhaps i was chosen for this position and i was someone much different in another lifetime. Do i wonder who or i was before i became The Curator? Yes. But i do not dwell on it, as that would change nothing and i have had a long time to accept that this is who i am now. It is not all bad but i would like to move this along."

Summer nodded, unable to stop herself from feeling sorrow for the man before her but said nothing.

Not like she could do anything about it.

"Yes, well while there are eight trails, Xero has so far completed three of them, gaining three unique abilities. Two passive and one for offesnive."

TRAILS OF MAGIC ABILITIES

-Illusion Breaker

-Precognition

-The Voice

"The first two are pretty self-explanatory." Wiz said, as it showed Xero slowly weaving his way through fire, only for him not to get burned by it, "Illusion Breaker is a passive skill that allows Xero to see through any type of illusion."

"The only expectation being Junko's Dream weaving illusion, the highest form of illusion magic, but that's a spell is in a league of its own." Boomstick said, unknowingly making a certain green haired girl freeze up.

"He can see through illusions."

That was all that was going through Emerald's mind, feeling like someone dropped ice water on her head. No, no, no, no, no! This can't be happening, this can't be happening, this can't be happening! There's no way that rich prick can have all these powers and skills, and STILL have one that can render her semblance useless!

It can't be!

There is no way life would be this cruel to her! If she couldn't use her illusions against the teen, then how the hell was she supposed to be able to beat him and prove herself to Cinder?! Why oh, why does he have to be the prefect counter to her soul's power?! Why did he even exist at all?!

"IT'S NOT FAIR!"

"Dream weaving? Is that the spell we saw briefly when boss killed the fake Tamamo?" Armin asked, unaware of Emerald's inner tourmil and fear of disappointing her beloved mistress. Gudako nodded, as Olga spoke up.

"Yes. Dream Weaving is one of the most difficult and hardest spells to master for any Magus, even for one who has a magic origin that is based around illusions like Junko. That makes her all the more dangerous, as it is nigh impossible to break out of the Dream illusion."

"A person can fight pain but not happiness." Tony repeated slowly to himself, whom this time felt like he was being dunked in ice water. The feeling of uselessness coming back to the foretaste of his mind as he shook his head. "No. Stop that, the past is the past and nothing can be changed. All you can do now, is help your son and daughter move forward."

That was all a father could ever do, no matter how much it galled at his pride and beliefs that anything can be achieved through the use of technology.

"There is one thing I'm still confused about." It was actually Ember who said this, as Gudako looked to the large dragoness, as she spoke, "What kind of beef did this Junko have with my little brother-in-law? From what my dear little sister has told me, Junko actually tried to break him before she killed him. I understand human siblings fight often but i do not believe it would go that far."

"It's complicated." Were all the redheads said, knowing it would be easier for Boomstick and Wiz to answer it for her, as not even her Oni-chan fully understood it.

"His second ability is known as Precognition, another passive ability but one he can actively ignore if he had too." Wiz said, as he went into detail, "This ability allows Xero to see events of the past but only if he's in close proximity of the events. The land itself remembers all that has happened, and this ability allows Xero to view them like he was watching a video recording."

"While a pretty cool thing to have, it does have its draw backs." Boomstick cut in once more, "Namely, feeling phantom pains of the events like HE was the one experiencing them. The closer he is, the greater the pain he feels, even though it mostly depends on just what happened. Damn, if i had an ability like that, i would most certainly not walk by a brutal crime scene, i like not having my body stabbed or shot at thank you very much."

"An interesting yet oddly specific ability." Ironwood mused to himself, finding the ability of Precognition something that could be very useful. It was a shame that this ability could not be taught, it would certainly help CSI's.

"His final ability is a lot more dangerous than the first two and is anything but passive." Wiz said, as the screen changed to show Xero taking a deep breath in, "This is an ability that has been lost for centuries known as, The Voice."

"FUS-RO-DAH!"

With a mighty shout, the shadowed enemies Xero was fighting was suddenly pushed back by an invisible force, or perhaps an Unrelenting Force.

"Oh!" Ruby suddenly perked up, recognizing the ability, "Have, we've seen him use that move before! On the bridge against Minne!"

Many all nodded, remembering the freighting ability his future self has used, as Cinder narrowed her eyes, leaning forward, wanting to see just how troublesome this ability would be.

"The Voice, according to legend," Boomstick, like Wiz had done before, took out a pair of comical oversized glasses, put them on and started reading off his phone, "The Way Of The Voice is a philosophy regarding the use the thu'um, or the Voice (a form of Nordic magic). It was discovered in the fifth century of the First Era by Jurgen Wind Caller, also known as the Calm, and its beliefs are so embedded in Nordic culture that some outsiders are left with the impression that the Voice and the Way of the Voice are synonymous terms. The main precept of the philosophy is that those who can wield the Voice should only do so in times of "True Need". Due to the rarity of times of "True Need" and the nonviolent lifestyles of the Greybeard monks (the most famous practitioners of the Way of the Voice), the philosophy is generally viewed to be one of pacifism, but in truth, the Way of the Voice teaches that using the thu'um for battle is merely "the least of its uses". From the dawn of time and throughout most of the Mythic Era, the dragons were the only creatures who could harness the power of their voice for great feats of magic, though they only did so in times of "True Need". But the dragons and their followers changed, and man, who had worshipped them, rebelled. The dragons began indiscriminately slaughtering them under the orders of Alduin, Firstborn of Akatosh, who had chosen to forsake his proper duties and conquer the land." Boomstick pasued, took a breath and countined on.

During this Dragon War, the dragon Paarthurnax took pity on the Nords (purportedly at the request of Kyne), and instructed several in the ways of the thu'um so that they could channel the power of their own voices using the tongue of the dragons. These first Tongues (masters of the Voice) used their new power to turn the tide of the war, and they eventually "shout[ed] Alduin out of the world". The remaining dragons were hunted and killed until they were nearly extinct, and the great Empires of Man were allowed to emerge. During the Skyrim Conquests around 1E 240, great Nordic war chiefs were also Tongues (Derek the Tall, Jorg Helmbolg, Hoag Merkiller, etc.). They needed no typical siege weapons when attacking a city, instead using the Voice to break down the city gate and allow their armies to storm in. Armed with the Voice, they were nearly unstoppable. However, the Nordic armies suffered an ignominious defeat at Red Mountain. The defeat greatly troubled the most powerful of the Tongues, Jurgen Wind Caller. Jurgen meditated for seven years to "understand how Strong Voices could fail". Looking back on history, he realized then that the only strong voice is one which is used judiciously and with the goal of preserving the natural order, and he "chose silence". Thus, the Way of the Voice was born. When Jurgen began proselytizing this understanding to his fellow Nords, seventeen other great Tongues disputed him, and challenged him to combat to prove their point. It is said that Jurgen swallowed the Shouts of these Tongues for three days until they were exhausted. Afterwards, they acknowledged his superior skill and wisdom, and traveled with him to the highest slopes of the Throat of the World, where Jurgen set his new home, devoting it to the studies of the Way of the Voice as a philosophy of peace and inner balance. The monks devoted to this philosophy came to be called the Greybeards, who devote themselves to meditation at secluded High Hrothgar. The Greybeards have never been known to take up arms directly, but in the rarest of occasions, they will speak, and set great chains of events in motion. One such time was to announce the destiny of the great Tiber Septim, who united Tamriel into the Third Empire and later became Talos, the Ninth Divine. In 4E 201, the Greybeards spoke again to call the Last Dragonborn to High Hrothgar for instruction on the use of the thu'um." Boomstick sighed tiredly to himself, as he closed his phone and threw away the oversized glasses, "Fuck, i haven't had to talk that much since i divorced my bitch of an ex-wife."

"Is it over?" Denki asked, looking like he was able to fall over, as one can see the metaphorical steam coming out of his ears, a clear sign his brain had not only been overloaded with information but learned so much, it overloaded and now it was on fire from overuse.

"Did anyone else get that?" Yang asked, nearly in the same boat as her fellow blonde, feeling her own head, as if it was about to explode from information overload.

"Good work Boomstick, truly you have impressed us all being able to read more than half of that and not fall alseep mid sentance." Wiz joked, as Boomstick nodded.

"Yea-" Then he narrowed his eyes, as Wiz's words finally registered in his head, "Hey!"

Laughter was heard of the result of Wiz's burn.

"Anyway," Wiz smirked, ignoring his steaming co-host, "Aside from Fu-Ro-Dah or Unrelenting Force, Xero has learned more words he can use."

The last one made Ursula grunt in annoyance, as she knew full well what THAT word did, having experienced it firsthand. While she was happy with how it turned out, her pride as a dragon was still bruised about the fact her mate used that damnable word against her to ground her.

"Ya know, when people said words have power, i don't think this is what they meant." Tony, reeling from everything he was learning, defaulted to his personal defense mechanism.

Smart assess and snark.

"So can anyone learn this?" Rhodey, being the brave one in asking the question everyone wanted to know, hoping they could learn this power themselves, only for Ember to dash their hopes.

"No." Clear, cut, right to the point and cold, "Back then, only those who studied for decades of theirs lives or those, whom we called Dragonborn, could learn this power, let alone master it. My little brother-in-law was simply lucky to discover this power down in those ruins, where's he and captain Levi with their squad fought off those vampires. Is that right, captain."

"It is." Levi nodded, "Like I've said before, we would have been fucked had it not been for Bright Eyes."

"Don't sell yourself so short captain." Gudako giggled, as the man glared at her for her unintentionally pun and crack at his height, barely able to stop herself from making another one, "You would have figured out what was going on sooner or later."

"Maybe but i not before a whole lot more of us died before then." Well, Gudako couldn't deny that Levi was right on that front. All the training in the world meant little in the face of experience and experience trumped training every time.

"The first one, very clear, allows Xero to unleash a powerful force that can knock anyone caught in its way back." Wiz said, "Animal Allegiance is a shout for help from the beasts of the wild, who come to fight in your defense, Clear Skies causes the sky itself yields before the Thu'um, as you clear away fog and inclement weather. Disarm does pretty much what you expect, it defies steel, as you rip the weapon from an opponent's grasp and Dismay is for the weak, making his enemies fearful of the Thu'um, and flee in pure terror making it great for crowd control. Fire Breath is about what you expect, it allows Xero to inhale air exhale flame, and behold the Thu'um as inferno. Forst breath does the same, making his breath winter, you Thu'um a blizzard. Storm Call is one of his more dangeours shouts, as it is a Shout to the skies, a cry to the clouds, that awakens the destructive force of Lighting that would make Zeus proud. Marked For Death does the following, Speak, and let your Voice herald doom, as an opponent's armor and lifeforce are weakened, making them easier to kill and his final word is Dragonrend, a word that allows your voice to lash out at a dragon's very soul, forcing the beast to land, very useful against them."

"Damn and monks with gray beards learned how to do all of this?" Boomstick questioned, as Wiz nodded, "Welp, goodbye, I'm going to go to the high mountains and teach me some magic voice lessons."

"I am so glad i opted to try and work with the kid, rather than fight him."

Never once in his entire life, did Fury feel happy he ignored most of the WSC orders. Making an enemy out of Mazoku for no other reasons, other than pure paranoia of an unknown person. Well, know they knew and were learning more but Fury can safely say that he was too dangerous to make an enemy out of. True, he was too dangerous to just let him roam free but having their interests a lined and partnership were well worth keeping.

His bosses would just have to deal with it and if they didn't like it, tough.

"Hmmm, some of those shouts would certainly be useful in taking down villains." Endeavor, despite his belief in power, even he could recognize tools that could be useful in talking down villains, especially that disarming one. How many times do villains cowardly took hostages and for all his power, hostage situations were very tricky to overcome, even for him.

No, in fact, it became even harder because he became involved did, they become more desperate and trigger happy.

"Indeed, it can." Sir Nighteye rubbed his chin thoughtfully, wondering if there was any possibility of recreating such a move. It could prove to be invaluable, the ability to relief (IE tear) villains of their weapons can turn the tide of battle and in turn, could save many lives.

Both hero and civilians alike.

"Man, hearing all this makes me feel like my own quirk is nothing but a lamer version of the little lister's voice power." Present Mic hung his head in shame, feeling very outclassed. Sure, he can make high, loud pitches but that was it. He couldn't banish fog away, unleash a powerful force of wind or even disarm people with just three words.

His quirk was good but it lacked the versatility Xero's Voice ability had.

"Yes, well while all these abilities are very impressive and powerful in their own right, Xero still has a few minor spells he can use. Such as repair spells that have helped his reputation as both a hero and person, seeing as he cleans up whatever mess he makes during his fights. Along with some mystic codes, runes taught to him by his teacher and even learned some of his families' runes, plus with some spells he had learned from the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj mountain, like his magic to create portals to anywhere he wants too but without a sling ring." The screen changed to show Xero creating a blue/purple ring with two fingers and once he completed a circle, created a vortex like portal, "But magic isn't the only thing Xero wields." Wiz said, as the screen changed again, to show his mother in their family armor, with golden, silted eyes rather than her purple ones, veins more pronounced on her mature face. "Such as the abilities granted to him because of his Yoma bloodline and thanks to the blood Miria had given him to help stabilize his DNA, saving his life, he was gained new abilities."

"That power reminds me of that wired mist guy." Momo nodded at Mina's words, remembering how she and Jiro were suddenly transported to a completely different location during the USJ attack.

"Becoming a warrior was NOT easy for Xero, after his body begin to break down due to constantly Ray shifting, old Reeps needed to find a new stabilizer for his DNA structure to save himself from dying and thankfully, he could time travel. So, he went back in time to his first Ancestor, to get her blood to save himself but boy, did it hurt. After being injected with her blood, Xero suffered the worst pain he has ever felt in his life, feeling like his body was tearing itself apart as he undergoes the very, very painful process of becoming a Warrior. Now keep in mind he survived training under Scáthach, ones whose first day of training with her left him with several broken bones, torn muscles, aching joints and had to be carried back to his room after the first day. Which, by the way, he passed out from pure pain alone of the training, but it did help toughen up his skin and prepare him for the pain to come. But even THAT was nowhere as near as painful as the transformation with his new blood, old Reeps go off easy when he passed out from the pain."

Many winced, as Ruby felt herself pale in horror and fear at Boomstick's as the screen showed a younger Xero tightly clenching his fists so hard that he drew blood. His face was pale, paler then usual with viable veins growing across his face, looking to be a sickly purple as his eyes appeared to be glassily and unfocused, looking like he was on death's door. He looked like he was ready to kneel over and was only holding up due to sheer will power alone.

"Jesus H. Christ." Bucky eyes widen in horror, as did the rest of the Avengers, "Now THAT looks painful."

"It was."

"R-Ruby..." Her father, Tai swallowed hard as he looked at his second daughter, "...are you sure you want to become a Warrior, after seeing...this?" He loved her, he really did, and he most certainly didn't want to see her go through this kind of pain that it took to become a Warrior.

"I-i'm sure." Ruby nodded, despite her fear as she gave her father a weak smile, "No pain, no gain, right?" Even she was unsure if she could handle that amount of pain that would make you pass out, she had to try, right?

"Just because you think that you can handle it, the true test is not having the courage to do it, it's surviving."

Ruby's parents, sister, friends and the girl herself looked alarmed at Olga, as she flipped her hand behind her shoulder, "What? Did you think it would be that easy?"

"What do you mean?!" Yang yelled, standing up, eyes glowing red, "Could Ruby die if she becomes a Warrior?!"

"Back in the olden days, only a handful of recruits actually survived the transformation or at least, that's what Miria told us." Olga said simply, as she looked Ruby in the eye, "The choice is yours and while you have a much higher chance of surviving the transformation from human to hybrid, there is still a very good chance your body will either fail, reject the blood or be too much for you to handle. Any number of bad things can happen but like i said, you have a much higher chance of surviving, compared to the days back then. Back then most girls who were recruited were thin, small and without access to proper food for someone like you, who is training to become a huntress, they had less than a fifty-fifty chance of surviving."

"M-maybe i should go first." Summer said, fearing for her daughter's life, "I can have Xero inject his-"

"Your too old." Gudako's blunt statement got confused looks from the family, as Summer let out a small.

"Eh?!"

"Your too old." The redhead said, ignoring the squawking of surprise from her, as Gudako motioned her hand to said fully grown woman, "All Warriors were recruited as children, not only because it's easier to brainwash them as kids but because of how dangerous the transforming process is, along with growing. This isn't something you can decide to do later on in life, you have to do it as soon as physically possible, because the younger you are, the easier it would be for the Yoma blood to integrate into your body." Seeing their faces still stunk in confusion, Olga butted in.

"The younger you are, the easier it is for you to become a hybrid, as your body grows, so does it allowing it to make all the adjustments necessary to ensure you become a fully realized Warrior without too much blow back to you. Long story short, the younger you are, the easier it is to adjust but the older you get, the harder it is and ultimately, impossible for adults to become a Warrior, as you are fully grown. The Yoma and human parts of your body will fight for dominance, which ends up tearing the body apart as a result. Believe me it's not a pretty way to die, even less so when the human half dies and the Yoma takes over completely becoming what we call, an Awakened Being. Warriors who have gone over their limit and the Yoma half takes control of the body." Olga paused, paused for a second, letting the info sink as Gudako finished it by saying, "But that hasn't been a problem for centuries, as the Yoma had slowly died out within the Mazoku clan and even if the Warriors themselves of today's age CAN still Awaken but without the threat of the Yoma taking over. But that doesn't mean the person in question won't change, if only in terms of personality with a new outlook but as daddy saw, Oni-chan didn't change much, he's still the same person he's always been just with an Awaken form now. The only reason he hasn't willingly awaken before, is simply because he gained memories from Miria after accepting her blood. During the first age, Awakening would have meant certain death, if not in body than in losing what humanity they had left and truly transform into a monster."

"Is that why his armor was all torn up? As if my son grew an extra two foot in the span of less than a day?" Tony asked, remembering how badly damaged the Iron Reaper Armor was and how it was basically stretched out like it was Bruce inside the suit, rather than his son.

Though unlike Banner's throw away clothes, the suit was salvageable, unlike the good doctor's poor clothing.

Gudako simply nodded, knowing that his armor was pretty damaged from both, Loki's own soldiers and the transformation into her Oni-chan's Awakened form, "Unlike most members of his clan, Oni-chan is one of the rare few that have obtained an Awaken form, but that's mostly because of Miria's blood mixing in with his own, giving his power a jump start from the original source."

"Because of the old blood stabilizing and even strengthen his DNA to a certain extent." Banner finished, cupping his chin in thought, "Makes sense but it was only during the battle of New York that have him the push he needed?"

"Sort of." Gudako made a 'so-so' gesture, "As you already know, the Battle Of New York wasn't about raw power or strength, it was as Armin put it so clearly, a battle of attrition."

"Attrition?" Nora titled her head in confusion, as Levi answered.

"So, who can outlast the other and to be frank, we would have been fucked had Bright Eyes not been there. It wasn't a joke when we said Loki had over a million soldiers at his disposal, far bigger than any army this world has ever seen. We only won because of Bright Eyes magic and because horn head was arrogant, thinking it would be an easy win."

Which it should have been.

A powerful, immortal command with powerful Norse magic, a nigh endless army of cannon fodder against what is basically a tiny village in the grand scheme of things before attacking the rest of the weak world, it should have been an easy victory. Only Loki had failed to account for one simple thing:

Humans don't go down that easily and when push comes to shove, we can overcome anything if pushed hard enough.

His arrogance was his downfall.

"That and he did not expect to find Earth has such powerful defenders, nor that we can use magic."

Gudako would admit, not as easily as Loki did to a certain extent but based on the battle, both she and her Oni-chan certainly outmatched Loki in terms of versatility with their magic or was that just him being arrogant and not unleashing the full extent of his powers?

More than likely the latter then the former.

"Indeed, like every other Warrior before him, Xero had to undergo the painful process of becoming a full fledge hybrid." Wiz said, as he begins to pick up where his co-host left off, "Because Miria was an Offensive type rather than a Defensive type, Xero's regeneration is inferior to a Defensive type, but while in Lighting Force State, his regeneration is not only sped up, but it surpasses any known Defensive type of regeneration. Hell, it's even better than Wolverine." Wiz explained, as it showed Miria on the screen, fighting various Yoma's, "There is also no real record of any Warrior getting sick or getting any type of disease and during a time where getting a paper cut would undoubtedly kill you, that is damn impressive."

"And Xero was hiding all these abilities." Perta said, mostly to herself. She knew him long enough to know he didn't do something like this without a good reason. With the revelation of HYDRA still being active and the Cult out there, along with many other threats, Perta didn't blame him for doing so. Xero had told them, point blank, that he had secrets.

Secrets he could not afford to share with them, some for more personal reasons, others because they were clan secrets and many others that were needed to know kind of secrets.

He may have hid things from them, keep many secrets close to the chest but at least he was honest about it.

"Ruby, if i were you I'd pay close attention." Gudako said to the sliver eyed girl, gaining her attention, as she looked at the older redhead, "If you wish to become a Warrior like Oni-chan over being a Huntress like your mother, this will be your best chance to learn about what it means to be one and what it entitles. It's not an easy path and it WILL be one of the most painful things you will ever experience."

"W-what do you mean?" Ruby asked, a little nervous at that last bit but soldiered on nevertheless, as Gudako merely said.

"Keep watching."

"But that didn't stop old Reeps from learning some useful skills, like Miria's trick of leaving after images of herself and Madam Pointy Ears insane Quick Sword style, one that is so fast that the human eye can't follow it. Hell, he even learned Miss No Brow's drill sword trick and not only is it does it look very painful to do, it's also kind of gross to watch as he does it." Boomstick said, as the screen changed again, to show Jean twisting her arm around itself to create the Drill Sword, "Fuck, talk about twisting your arm, ouch!"

Many winced at the sight, as some gagged, while a select few looked fearful or anger at seeing how much power the Mazoku possessed.

"If he truly was this strong, then why haven't we seen it and why didn't he take down Taskmaster quicker?"

Certain military leaders and country leaders thought to themselves, as Wiz begin to unintentionally answer the question many had.

"Training is good and all but real-life experiences can trump any kind of training any day." All Might silently thought to himself, mentally analyzing Miria's movements, "If Lord Mazoku not only receive the abilities of this woman but the experience of his future self through memories, he can easily best even the top ten pro-heroes through sheer experience alone. While being a hero is dangerous work, the young man has constantly been in life and death battles, waist length in the blood of both friend and foe alike. I hate to think of what would happen if Lord Mazoku became a villain or worse, All For One somehow got his claws into him."

The large man shivered at the thought of Xero helping his archenemy and with this looming Dead War threatening to destroying not just their worlds but all those worlds with life in them.

It wasn't a pretty image.

"Seeing as he didn't know who he could trust and everyone he seemly turned was with either HYDRA, the Cult or people who would very much want him dead, Xero decide it would be best to hide his true strength. To weave a vale over himself of portraying himself weak and underestimate him as a result. So, when his enemies or others go after him, thinking he is the weakest link, they'd be in for one nasty surprise."

"Even if compared to most Servants, who could easily break him in half with just a finger, Xero is well above normal humans and can easily have people like Captain America a run for his money." Boomstick said with a laugh, "His speed, strength, six senses' were set into overdrive, making him stronger and faster than any normal could hope to achieve, easily surpassing Captain America."

"That's...that's actually a very clever way of doing things." Best Jeanist said with raised eyebrows, "Knowing your enemy is half the battle and hiding your true strength is a good way to lure your enemies into a false sense of security then strike when they least suscept it. Yes, very clever indeed."

"I'll say, the little kitten is not only strong, but he's also having great battle instincts too!" Ragdoll spoke, eyes widen then normal at the simple but very effective method for battle. You can't defend against something if you don't know it's coming.

"However, even if he had all the power, strength and skills to learn these moves, Xero would need the knowledge to actually pull these moves off." Wiz said, as he begins to explain, "But thanks to receiving the memories of Avenger Xero, after proving he could change their dark future, Xero was not only able to master new abilities he didn't even know where possible to begin with. In doing so, he could basically re-learn all the techniques and abilities, he WOULD develop but much earlier. Some of these abilities were created during the Dead War to combat some of the new evils he would face, thus was able to reach a whole new level of power thanks to the knowledge he gained from his future self before his death."

"Among other things." Boomstick said, referring to Blood Force State and the knowledge of the coming disaster.

"Yes, well in any case, Avenger Xero was able to recreate some of the techniques Miria had seen during her life like the Drill-Sword, Irene's Quick-Sword style used by Claire and even Flora's Wind Cutter Style to re-create the Quick Sword Style. But the most notable technique he recreated was Miria's Phantom." Wiz said, as the screen showed the mentioned techniques, showing the brown-haired woman seemly 'vanish' like dust in the wind.

"There it is." Betty spoke, smiling at seeing the move that had saved her during the war with Loki.

"Man, he really is fast, he might be faster than you Iida." The blue haired boy nodded at Ojiro words, not even his older brother has achieved such speeds fast enough to leave afterimages behind.

"But if Lord Mazoku can do, then so can I!" Tenya nodded to himself, determined not to fall behind someone who didn't even have a speed, Quirk. It wasn't so much as an insult to the older boy but the younger man acknowledging his speed as greater than his own and decided to make it one of his own personal goals. A destination in mind so to speak, with Tenya's current speed as his starting point and Xero's superior speed as his finish line.

"Oh, that is such bullshit!" Yang complained, "This is so unfair." She didn't want to sound like she was being a whiny bart but it really was unfair just as Mercury guy said.

Everyone ignored her, but many silently agreed with Yang that it was indeed bullshit and unfair. Some people are just simply born with everything, and others aren't so lucky, if you considered certain aspects of being both a Magus and hybrid of Yoma and human.

"We never stood a chance, did we?"

Seinna knew the answer to that question regardless of the fact she asked it to herself in her own mind. The more and more she saw, watched and felt, the tiger woman for all her pride, was ready to kneel over and hope to whatever god what listening that her race would be spared Earth's wrath.

And the Avengers and Magus's wrath.

Despite what many thought, Seinna was no coward and the Albian's brother knew that she was simply cautious. Now, after seeing this, she knew her caution may have very well just saved the Faunus race from genocide. The Faunus were already outnumbered thanks to the Faunus Rights Revolution and the Great War their numbers have been dwindled down badly.

The sudden merging with Earth had made that 1 to 3 ratio turned into 1 to 6 ratio with no realistic way for the Faunus to actually win any type of war with the humans unless they had some kind of super weapon. Even then, it was still unlikely and not even the Grimm would be enough to destroy Earth's people. Seinna wasn't foolish and knew that Cinder was Adam's "benefactor" of his and thus, was technically allied with Salem, so was the White Fang.

Technically.

Something she intended to put her foot down on, that the White Fang will NOT ally with Salem, seeing as Grimm attack indiscriminately. If they allied with the Grimm of all things, it would be mass genocide on their part, seeing as the humans are clearly planning to forge an alliance to deal with Salem and the rest of the threats their new world faced.

The Albain brothers agreed with her on this, seeing as they understood the consequences for allying with Salem and whatever plan Mazoku made to deal with Salem would more than likely work, seeing as compared to everything else he has fought, an immortal witch...wasn't all that threatening. Especially when he and Stark pointed out some flaws and made everyone realize she isn't as powerful as she portrays herself to be, nor did she have COMPLETE control over the Grimm, as the kingdoms would have long been steamed rolled otherwise.

Seeing as they're still very much standing, and Salem is STILL hiding in the shadows only proved this point even more.

"No matter what happens, I cannot allow Adam to drag the White Fang down with him. Clearly, his hate and anger has gotten out of control and i can no longer condone it. He has to go; some might protest but it'll be better in the long run. We cannot afford to make enemies out of Earth just yet. Not without some extra firepower at least."

Like a Maiden or a relic or even better, both of them.

Even if she said she would work with him, that did not mean others would. The Khan had no doubt others would come for them and if Mazoku turned on them, then they had to be able to defend themselves after all. While it was clear Summer and Winter weren't possible, that left Fall and Spring up for grabs. The best part was that nobody liked either of them, one was the feared bandit queen of Mistral and the other worked for the queen of Grimm, if ever were killed, nobody would bat an eye.

If the White Fang gained a Maiden in the process, then the stars aligned, and the gods decide to cut them a break.

"And like any other super powered person needs, everything he had like his strength, speed, five senses and even endurance was turned up to eleven." Boomstick explained, as the screen showed Xero using said senses to decimate HYDRA soldiers, "Everything, including his sense of smell was improved, which was kind of wired."

"Well, odd improvement aside, Xero not only be enhanced to become superhuman, but Warriors also have been noted to have eternal youth." Wiz said, as the screen showed Isely of the North, "Isley of the North, a member of the FIRST generation of warriors and he hasn't aged a day. It has been theorized that it's the Warriors Yoki that keeps them young, but it is still unknown to this day. Perhaps it has something to do with the Yoki being demonic energy or their shapeshifting abilities they gain once they fully awakened, it is still very unclear."

"Don't forget Wiz, his first ancestor, Miria lived to be over 900 years old." Boomstick spoke, reminding everyone of that fact, "She only died, because she, 1.) Passed on the title of clan head to her chosen successor, Rosemary and 2.) She stayed behind in Avalon to die with her kingdom, when the kingdoms of that time period invaded their kingdom to steal the secrets of magic."

"Interesting." Oobleck put a hand to his chin, rubbing it thoughtfully, "While it's not exactly a well keep secret, huntsman and huntress often age slower than those who aren't, namely those with their aura unlocked. If Yoki really is just aura purified, then i can certainly see another connection between the two."

"Really professor?" Pyrrha asked in shock, "I didn't know that."

"Like i said, it's not exactly a well keep secret but's it's not said out loud either." The green haired man's frown deepened even further, "Seeing as most huntsman only age to thirty years old before they are killed by the Grimm, sometimes criminals and even bandits. It really depends on where and what the huntsman or huntress in question is doing when they are killed."

Killed, not die or pass away, killed. More than likely dying to the Grimm, criminals and everything else in-between. That was a sobering thought.

"Of course, the rich boy gets to have not only power but enteral youth as well."

Emerald thought bitterly to herself, crossing her arms over her chest, ignoring Mercury's yell of "That's complete bullshit" and while she agreed, there is no way in hell she would say it out loud. Truth be told, if the need ever arise, Cinder and Salem (Mostly Salem really) could have simply waited until Mazoku became a feeble, weak old man, no matter how powerful he was no one was immune to the passages of time.

"Or so i thought."

It seemed once again fate was throwing a monkey wrench into their plans, making Emerald wonder if there was some higher power working against them and making the green haired girl think that it should mind its own fucking business! Why the hell did this happen?!

The plan to take down Beacon, acquire the Fall Maiden's power and kill the headmaster was flawless but now everything is fucked up! Khan clearly had no desire to join their side and with the way things are going, it looked like Adam would be booted out of the White Fang, which would mean the main bulk of their invading forces would be render moot.

Threats wouldn't work, as even Emerald who had complete faith in Cinder, could see the MASSIVE gap in power between the two and if they did, whatever it is they did to summon one of those Servants or worse, use one of them to take over Amber's body, her mistress could lose the missing half or worse, lose the Fall Maiden's power entirely!

"But what can i do?"

A straight up fight was a terrible idea, catching him alone was also impossible as those Servants would always be with him, so sneak attacks won't work, nor will her illusions be rendered useless as Mazoku could not only see through said illusions, rendering her most powerful weapon useless!

Why does he have such a specific ability?!

"Miria stayed behind to die with her kingdom?" Midnight asked, now putting together what happened to the kingdom of Magus, "Wouldn't it make more sense if she left with her people and into hiding?"

"It would be logically but realistically, no." At seeing the older woman's confused expression, Gudako explained, "From what Oni-chan told me, Miria was the LAST of the Sliver Eyed warriors of her generation or any generation for that matter, a relic from a bygone era of lies and death. Many other Warriors either chose to die in battle to be with their long-lost loves, died in battle defending their kingdom or died exploring new lands, there was no dying from old age, thus not simply 'passing on' to the next world. All Warriors don't have the chance to live a normal life and thus, those who are born from their bloodline are taught to accept that they will more than likely outlast everyone they come into contact with. Oni-chan knows he will outlive you all and accepts that fact." Gudako paused for a moment, before looking at Logan and Laura, "Well, expect you two, seeing as Logan is older than dirt and seeing as Laura is basically a female version of you, it stands to reason that you will live beyond this age of heroes we are in. Ruby, if you chose to become a Warrior and survive the transformation, this is something you will also have to accept: You will outlive not only your father and mother but your sisters, freinds and lover if you chose to become a Warrior like Oni-chan."

That was a sobering thought to know, one that had Ruby near tears, "C-can i think about it?"

"Of course, little sister." Gudako smiled gently, rubbing Ruby's head, like Yang used to do when she was smaller but without the mockery in her tone or eyes, "Take all the time you want but know, even if you don't become one, you'll always been considered a member of our clan."

"O-okay."

"Well, aren't you all just lucky." Mercury grumbled, knowing that Mazoku and his family member will be young forever, while the redhead just ignored him. Gudako was no fool, while eternal youth sounded like a goddess send, there were ups and down to everything.

Including enteral life, as Scathach had made that very clear that immortal was not all it was cracked up to be and was actively looking for someone to end her life. That someone, being her Oni-chan, seeing as how hard she pushed him during their training and even if she married him, loved him, their shared teacher still longed for death and was clearly hopping he would be the one to deliver it to her.

"E-enteral youth is n-not all that's i-it's cracked up t-to be."

The slivered haired assassin nearly jumped at hearing Adenela's voice, as the three-hundred-year-old Magus seemly appeared beside him, "T-take it from m-me, enteral y-youth is not f-fun as it seems."

"Good god, i honestly forgot you were here, miss creeper." Tony spoke before Mercury could, needing to distract himself as he spoke to the short purple haired woman, "Seriously, you, the church foursome and Pieck have been very quiet throughout this whole ordeal."

Pepper elbowed Tony, trying to shut him up, as Father Vicent merely chuckled, as Pieck, still looking like she was half asleep merely smiled, "Sorry Tony. Just, watching everything Xero-dono can done and has gone through to obtain it, is...humbling to say the least." Knowing just how easily he could snap her in half like a twinge didn't worry the woman as much as it should have it.

Oh no, it actually, excited her in a certain way.

"No kidding." Irina sighed, "Xero-sensei is supposed to be our teacher but he's the same age as us, yet he's so strong!" The brown-haired teen flared her arms, "How are we supposed to measure up to that?! Compared to Xero-sensei, we are nothing but wet behind the ears recruits that have never picked up a weapon in our lives!"

"Which, technically we are." Xenovia grunted, mostly to herself as she said this. Irina had a point and for all her stubbornness, she knew her frie-partner, had a point.

Yeah, she meant partner.

"But his most useful ability, is his regeneration." Wiz said, as the screen changed to show Xero...stabbed by iron rods, while he was unconscious, bleeding all over! His arms and legs were staked with them in a suspicious cross like shape, with two rods stuck through his lower abdomen.

"Oh my god!/What the fuck is this?!"

Pepper once again found herself gasping, as Tony shot out of his seat, glaring not at Gudako but at the Curator, "What the hell is this?!"

"Keep watching and you'll found out, Mr. Stark."

"Now, does anyone remember when Xero was sent back to the 1300's?" Boomstick asked, as the unconscious Xero stayed on screen, "Well, you see here, there was a secret torture, oh sorry, i mean 'Prison' called Inferno Prison. A secret prison created by the Inquisition's leader of the time, Grand Inquisitor Vitalis Bénévent of the Catholic Church in the country of France. One can think of it as the Inquistion's version of Guantanamo Bay, with all the nasty stuff that goes with it. When Xero distracted the Black Knight Nicholes allowing Amicia and Hugo to escape, you can image that old Nicky boy wasn't too pleased about that."

"The Inquisition had that much power?" Ochako asked in disbelief, while she wasn't the best at history, she was sure that the Catholic Church never had THIS much power.

Did they?

"In times of crisis, when the government fails to reassure people, groups like this often take advantage of the confusion to seize power for themselves and by the time anyone realizes what they're doing, it's often too late." Gudako said bluntly, her smile now turning into a grimace as she watched her dear Oni-chan, strung up and staked like some kind of animal.

Fucking bastards.

"In a lot of ways, it's just like how the SDC uses the Faunus."

Ghira was by no means pessimistic or bitter man, nor did he like to think the worse of people. During his time leading the White Fang, he never once fought back, despite the fact he had every right to do so, because he wanted to create a better world for Faunus AND humans alike. He wanted to show people they weren't the savage animals they were made out to be and when someone attacks them, but they do nothing, it's the attacker that looks like the savage animal, not the other way around.

But that didn't mean Ghira was blind to those who were treated worse than others, like the Faunus in Atlas and Mantle. He had no right to interfere with their lives or how they acted but it was that kind of attitude that made it harder for the rest of the Faunus to get along with humanity. No matter what any of them thought, like Adam and Seinna, attacking unprovoked no matter how bad they were only caused more senseless hate.

Just like Gudako said, hate creates hate.

But ultimately, Ghira just stayed silent, wanting to see how this played out and see what these people did to the young teen to make him the way he is today. As much as he did not like killing, he was in no position to impose his belief onto others and even worse, he did not have the full picture, so again, he simply opted to stay silent.

"Indeed, and enraged by this, Nicholes sent Xero to Inferno Prison." Wiz said, taking over explaining, "For two months, Xero was locked up and torture by Inquisition's men and given that a paper cut could kill you, they were careful on how they torture him. But the lack of progress really enraged them and so, they used these rods to crucified Xero for all to see. As a sign of both power and reason why not to defy the Inquisition, least this be them."

"But this would backfire, as Xero was able to use the fact no one wanted to watch a teenager die from the multiple stabs and blood loss, he used this as his chance to escape from the prison." Boomstick said, as Xero woke up, revealing the full scene to be during in the dead of night and begin to slowly pull his arms free of the iron rods, "But mind you, his regeneration was still fairly new to him and while it was nowhere near as fast as Logan's, his was still pretty impressive. But holy fuck, Xero had to slowly pull himself free AND stay silent, least someone notice his escape, you got to admit, he is one tough man to do that." The screen focused on Xero, as he slowly freed himself, as he had pulled his arms and legs out, pushing against the wooden cross, pain clear on his face.

SLECK

SLECK

"AAAAGGGHHHH!"

Xero screamed out the last bit, as he finally pulled himself free of the iron stakes, blood pouring out of his wounds like a leaky fountain, as he falls to the ground with a thud, unable to stand from the excruciating pain.

"Well, mostly stayed silent." Boomstick corrected himself with a wince at the sight of so much blood.

The sound of flesh tearing, and ripping was loud, nauseating to listen too, as many felt like they were going to be sick, with the ones with a weak stomach like Ruby, Mina, Izuku, hell even people like Sun and Nebula were already losing their breakfast into a magically appeared bucket. The fact he was so skinny at the time with no sign of muscle on his lanky body, it became all the louder to the iron rods tearing Xero's insides as he slowly removed himself from the large wooden cross.

"Groan."

The Avengers eyes widen, as Banner's eyes turned green, the Hulk threatening to burst forward, as Steve quickly asked, "Banner, are you-"

"I'm FINE." The shorter man shook his head, taking a few deep breaths before his eyes returned to their normal hazel color, "I'm good Steve, i'm good." He wasn't actually, most of what he had seen had the Other Guy growling but that last shot of his young friend pulling himself out of those stakes, had the big green guy roaring in pure rage.

Not that Bruce blamed the big man on a personal level and would have loved nothing more than to meet this "Lord Nichols" to a greasy paste on the ground but seeing as the man was long dead, more than likely by Xero's own hands no less, the Hulk had no one to take his fury out on. Tony seeing the look on his face, smiled grimly.

"Trust me big green, i feel the same way and wish i could go all Hulk on that asshole's ass but it's not meant to be." Tony wasn't lying, he did want a crack at the armored asshole himself with the newly created "Hulk Buster" armor, but life wasn't so kind.

"Not to mention, a really odd ability he discovered, while being hung up like a stuffed pig by lord Dick-Ohls, is his ability to move his organs." Boomstick, "Which, while doesn't sound all that impressive, this power can ensure old Reeps doesn't suffer from internal damage of certain organs that could be very bad if hit. Man, i wonder if hitting your kidneys with your liver hurts as much as it sounds."

"Probably." Wiz said nodding, "And one of the reasons why Xero almost always wears sleeveless shirts, is his ability to stretch his limbs out. This not only gives him unique options in fighting and everyday life, but allows him to pull off certain skills, like Jean Drillsword. But not only that, he can pretty mind bend in ways, no normal human could ever hope to do so."

"Who says white guys can't bend?" Boomstick joked with a light laugh.

Some didn't get the joke and those that did, either chuckled or scowled at it.

"And while Xero might have an Awakened form, he only unlocked it during the near end of the Battle of New York and for the most part, it simply enhances all Yoki abilities." Wiz said, as Boomstick once again took the center stage.

"But without magic or even Yoki, Xero's still one hell of a force to be reckoned with. The fact he and his future self often got their magic negated or just outright deflected, or just plain useless against the undead creatures or he finds himself stripped of his magic for some reason it doesn't matter, as old Reeps decided to apply a British Army adage or i guess you could say, he went the Batman route: By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."

"Now that right there, is the smartest thing i have heard all day." Aizawa said, nodding in complete agreement with Boomstick's words. This was a lesson he was trying to drill into his students. Hopefully they would take those words to heart and more importantly, learn from Lord Mazoku's experience that no matter how powerful you were, one bullet, one lucky shot was all a villain needed to take you down.

For good.

"Battles can be won or lost based on preparations." Ozpin spoke wisely, also agreeing with one of the hosts of Death Battles. He was thinking along the same lines as Aizawa, as he had plenty of students who underestimated the Grimm and pay for it dearly.

The ones that lived that is, the ones that wouldn't serve as a reminder to everyone just how dangerous the Grimm were, even to the huntsman themselves.

"Holy crap, he's got enough weapons to outfit an army!" Sun yelled, eyes widening at the sheer number of different weapons Xero had in his large arsenal.

"Oh! Look at all the weapons!" Ruby was almost, no wait, she WAS drooling over the sight of the large number of weapons her distant cousin had in his stockpile and was wanting nothing more than to use them. Maybe she could convince him to allow her to, um 'borrow' one of them some time or better yet, allow her to make her own!

Eeeeeeee!~

"Cool your jets sis, I'm sure Xero will allow you to see his weapons." Yang spoke with a grin, as Weiss focused on the last weapon, finding it to be the oddest out of all the weapons and tools.

"Am i the only one wondering what they mean by 'Scarecrow's Fear Gauntlet'? What does that mean and what is a Batman or Arkham Knight?"

"Kiddo..."

Weiss blinked as she noticed that Mr. Stark looked pale, very pale as he saw the last weapon and was looking pleading at Gudako. Don't tell her that he was actually buying this "...Please don't tell me my son actually fought that insane psychopath Crane."

He was and who in the name of the Brothers is Crane?

"Oni-chan didn't fight Scarecrow..." Weiss's confusion deepened when both Stark, Rogers, Potts and Banner all sighed in relief, only to gasp as the redhead said, "...I did, and it wasn't just Crane either. I ended up facing all of Batman's Rogue gallery at least once. Mostly Scarecrow all three times and fought the Joker at least twice. Well, maybe more than three times, if you count those infected with Joker-Itis."

"Okay, who the hell if Scarecrow and why did you all look like your about to kneel over?"

And who the hell is Batman?

Rumi personally thought Scarecrow sounded an awful lot like a villain's name if she had ever heard one and judging by the looks the youngest Stark was getting, he must have been a dangerous villain at that.

Tony sucked in some breath, as he spoke, looking a little pale and angry at the same time, "Dr. Jonathan Crane is as you heroes can guess, a supervillain in the world of the Batman comics, once a professor of psychology till he went nuttery then his patients. The man was obsessed with the power the mind had over the body and fear, then like all mad psycho's, he combined the two into his signature Fear Toxin. A toxin so deadly that not only would it torture you with your worst fears made real but if your exposed long enough, you can quite literally die from it."

"I remember reading those comics when i was younger." Reiner said absentmindedly, "Next to the Joker, Scarecrow, Two Face, Bane Ra's Al Ghul, the Riddler and Poison Ivy were among Batman's worst enemies on his rogue's list."

More names that were dropped like they were supposed to mean something and to everyone from two different worlds, had no reconciliation of any of those names. The people from Earth 616 however did, as they all nodded to each other in one way or another, recognize the names.

"Just to be clear, when the screen says 'Arkham Knight' it means the Arkham game trilogy, right? Cause i personally played all three games and while it was awesome, does this mean you've been sucked into the final game, the same way Xero was sucked into 'Tales of Berseria'." Spider Man asked, as Gudako laughed a bittersweet laugh.

"Not quite Spider butt, as Oni-chan had to spend a year and a half in Tales of Berseria, i had spent three really, really, REALLY long nights in Gotham city. Arkham Asylum and Arkham city the first two nights, then i was able to travel all over Gotham the third night. While i may have had to only spend three days in the Arkham games, it didn't make it any less dangerous."

"You'd think we'd learn after the first time but like everything else, life threw a wrench into them." Olga sighed; they really should have seen it coming.

Tony himself looked torn between angry that he wasn't told this information, not to mention how HIS daughter was put in serious danger because of Batman's worst enemies and could have died but he also worried. Worried that his children seem to attract danger like moths to a flame.

Would this always happen?

Should he be worried about getting graying hairs because of how accident/danger prone his children seemed to be?

Should he go back to drinking himself into an early grave?

Should he be PROUD that his kids seemed to pull themselves out of ridiculous dangerous situations seemly all the time or should he get to work on some sort of bubble suits for them due to the sheer number of times they seemed to be dragged into these kinds of situations? Seriously, getting kidnapped by and terrorist attacked by a madman with a whip fetish seems like child's play compared to what his kids have gone through, the monsters they had to face but it made him worry and feel worthless at the same time.

Why?

Could he actually hope to fight actually alien gods, monsters with the power to bend reality and worst of all, magic?

"Could i even hurt one of those Awakened Beings or the Creatures of the Abyss?"

Strong as his armor was, that was all he had. That, his tech and his might brain power is all he had on those monsters who could do things he didn't even know were possible with just Yoki. From the memories he had shown him from Miria's point of view, he didn't know for certain and that sacred him more then he cared to admit.

Warriors were far faster than any normal human could hope to be, even old Capsicle was nowhere near as fast as his son was. Which was far, as no one in the Avengers, maybe even in the entire world was faster than his son. A small, spiteful part of him that always hated how his father went on and on about how great Captain American was, to hear someone else, his own kid no less was superior to him in terms of strength made that very spiteful part of him very happy.

"Everything special about you came out of a bottle."

Admittedly, he only said those words because of the staff revving them all up like Loki wanted and but on the other hand, the same thing could be said about Tony. The only thing special about him was his big brain, which was true. Tony didn't have super strength like Steve, he didn't have metal claws that could cut through anything like Logan, he couldn't transform into a giant rage monster like Bruce, he didn't have Lady Luck as his bitch like Neena, he didn't have the insane flexibility nor spy skills as Natasha, he didn't have a perfect aim like Barton, he couldn't make anything he touch an explosive like Remy, he couldn't harden his skin to crystal's like Annie could, he didn't have a bloodline that made him a monster like Levi or even have magic circuits nor could he summon legendary figures to be his bodyguard/lover like his two children.

All Tony Stark had was an inherited company, a big brain and resourcefulness.

That was it.

Sure, he liked to say the Iron Man armor and he were one, which they were they most certainly were, but without it he...he couldn't do much. Sure, he forged the first Iron Man suit out of nothing but scrap and other weapons, but it was the definition of "Junk Heap". Seeing all the enemies both his kids had to fight forced Tony to admit, that he wouldn't stand a chance against half of them without his armor and even then, some would more than likely overwhelm him before he could put up a decent fight.

He could blast low level goons all day long but during his first, real war battle, he took out mostly small fry and some lieutenant, while his son took on the big bad by himself.

And won.

Sure, one can argue that Tony had taken on other armies but to be completely fair, those armies were using HIS weapons. Weapons, whom HE built and knew ever screw and bolt used to create it, so there were no surprise waiting for him. Loki's army however, while impressive was mostly cannon fodder, most of them foot soldiers, save for those snake things and Loki himself.

The point he was making, was that despite insulting Steve, he had a point on what Tony was without his armor. Take that away and what was he?

"Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist, father."

While he said the first three in a board tone, the last one he said proudly. But even with all that, when you compare him to his son, he...he wasn't all that impressive. He wasn't jealous of his son by any means, it's just Tony was the father here. HE was supposed to be the one doing the protecting, stressing out over things, staying up all night trying to work out problems that could make or break everything and worrying about the future.

Not his boy or little girl.

They should be out with their friends, getting into harmless mischief and defying him on the simple fact they were teenagers, that's what all teenagers do. They and he, should be doing everything they shouldn't do, giving Pepper gray hairs cause lets be honest, he was never going to be the responsible one here. But life was never that simple, even more so when the name Stark was involved.

This cruel reality was one he was going to have to accept and deal with, helping his kids however he could.

"But what can i do?"

Magic, up until about two years ago magic, alternate dimensions, actually real-life monsters/supernatural creatures and the multiverse theory being all real had blown his mind wide open. But it also made him realize just how outgunned he really was, without his armor and the enchantments his son had given him, Tony would stand no chance against any of that class 4, let alone class 5 monsters or even a class 3.

It was humbling, as it was terrifying and now, he had to deal with things coming from the darkest reaches of space, it made Tony envies of how Xero could handle it all without even batting an eyelash. Ultimately, Tony figured he would simply have to learn on the job like his son and daughter did, doing what he could to help them.

It was all anyone of them could do these days.

"Well damn, i think he's got more guns than me!" Boomstick said grinning like a mad man at the beautiful sight of so many weapons of all kinds, as Wiz spoke.

"Now, you'd probably be wondering why Xero has taken so many weapons into his arsenal, when he has enough power to be thought of as a demi-god." Wiz spoke, "Someone with so much power, why would he even want a weapon, let alone a diverse, massive arsenal of weapons like these?"

Now that Wiz brought it up, everyone looked very curious as to WHY Xero has so many weapons too. If he was so strong with magic, why would he need them?

"It's because Xero isn't stupid." Boomstick answered everyone's question, "You see, old Reeps is playing the long game and being very smart about it. Unlike most Magus, who are too stubborn or too stuck in their ways, Xero has adapted to both the old and new ways of doing things. He learned how to use his family sword, the Black Rose, Dark Dove and the Meijikirā but he has created new weapons to match the times. Sort of."

"By sort of, you mean he's made weapons that far surpass the current times weapons, like his handheld cannon pistol in the form of Joy Colt." Wiz said, as the mentioned weapon appeared on screen.

"Oh, how pretty." Boomstick drooled a little at the sight, before snapping out of daze, "Anyway, Xero is smart enough to realize that relaying on his magic ALL the time isn't exactly a smart thing to do and had his ass kicked enough times to realize that painful fact."

"Indeed. Xero has gained many powerful enemies, some with ways to not only negate his magic but Yoki as well." Wiz spoke in a grave tone of voice, "Which is shockingly easy if you know what you're doing or if he's running dangerously low on mana."

"And as we already know, once his mana level hits Zero, it's game over." Boomstick said in a joking tone, despite the topic at hand, as Wiz pushed on.

"Xero has been depowered, beaten up and defeated enough times to wise up and change his ways before his stubbornness got him killed." Wiz said, recounting the times he had been defeated, "But there's more to it, thanks to his enemies having so many friends in high places with dangerous equipment and weapons that could prove a threat to the Arch-Mage, restricting himself to just a couple of simple spells and shrouding himself in darkness gives him an edge."

"Uh, what?" Yang looked just as confused as everyone else, not understanding what Wiz was getting at.

"I see, very clever indeed Lord Mazoku."

Well almost everyone, as the few smarter ones like Nezu, Ozpin, Fury, Erwin, Ironwood and Sir Night eye with the rest of Beacon's professor's all nodding in agreement with Xero's idea of sticking to the shadows.

"In case you haven't figured it out yet, old Reeps is playing the long game, as said before." Boomstick said, packing on what his co-host said, "You see, it's kind of hard to counter against something you had no idea even existed. Him using weapons already gives him a leg up over other Magus and many of his weapons were infused with magic, making them even more dangerous than regular weapons. So, by using these weapons and NOT his own magic or Yoki, leaves his enemies guessing how he's going to attack."

Oh!

Light bulbs seemly went off in everyone's heads, as they began to understand just what Wiz was said, as the man himself spoke.

"Let's say they were expecting a short-range fighter and set up a shop to counter one but in doing so, they have no defense against a long-range fighter, like a sniper or even an attack from behind or above them. A short, ranged fighter would come from the front and vice-versa a long-ranged fighter would attack from long range, thus they set up their defenses for one but have no defense for a short, ranged fighter or a Armored one, seeing as most long ranged fighters have to be quick and nimble on their feet."

"What Wiz is trying to say, is that old Reeps stays hidden in the shadows and when he attacks, it's always with something different in hand." Boomstick simplified the explanation, "He always attacks with something new, a different strategy, a different weapon, a different method of doing things. Not to mention, a few of these items aren't really meant for killing but rather, are meant to strengthen some of his own personal weakness."

Now that little tab bit of information got some less than savory people's attention, wanting to know just what made the Strongest Magus weak.

"But it's mostly thanks to his future self's memories of the Dead War and realizing just how badly some of his spells will have no effect on the Dead." Wiz said, dropping the bomb that made many blinks in shock.

What?

"Which isn't all that surprising if you think about it." Boomstick spoke, "As a professional monster hunter, Xero has learned that lighting up his enemies like a tree on Christmas day is fun and all, but it doesn't work very well on dead bodies. Hell, some of the monsters he's hunted are also seemly immune to his lighting magic. Not to mention freezing them in solid ice blocks is also fun but very ineffective against something that is already dead, so unless he ups the voltage on his lighting, all he's doing is pissing them off and only ice creation or hail with enough force to crack a coconut wide open, will work against the undead soldier's cannon fodder. It's one of the reasons why his spells are so destructive, as to combat the Dead near immortality, it won't matter how many hits you can take if your arms and legs are blown off. But that doesn't mean much when you fight zombies, Hell, even setting them on fire will only make them more dangerous, as they wouldn't just be zombies, they'd be FLAMING, very angry zombies that sometimes have Bombs strapped to them, ready to die again and take you with them all the way to H-E double hockey stick!"

"That...that makes a lot of sense." Yang paled a bit the mental image Boomstick was painting, and it wasn't very good. Magic was good and all but zombies were a tricky thing, so long as the brain was intact or whatever was keeping them alive connected, they would just keep coming.

Zombies didn't feel pain, morals, fear, compassion, hate, camaraderie, loss or anything that made human beings human.

Only hunger...the hunger for the living, be it human or otherwise, all would be devoured by the teeth of the dead. It would also explain why the Xero in the future used his flames to melt the Husks before he fights Lily.

"Well, that's just great, as if they need to be an even bigger pain in the ass." Levi grumbled to himself, not blaming either Magus but feeling a surge of annoyance spring within him, as this piece of information.

"That's why we have some very dangerous, very brutal weapons." Gudako spoke, "Oni-chan knew we would be fighting some very dangerous enemies that could not be killed by normal means. Well, they could be killed but they wouldn't stay dead by normal means, so he had to get creative in creating new weapons to ensure the dead stay dead. If they came back, well they sure as hell will wish they didn't."

"And that's not including some of the more elite, dangerous zombies, cultist or even the Dark Ass hates themselves." Boomstick finished with a scowl on his face. Seriously, why couldn't these zombies stay the same ones they know and hate. Not this Resident Evil type of zombies.

Ones that keep getting bigger, stronger, smarter and far more dangerous then regular run in the mill zombies.

"As a result, Xero has amassed a large arsenal of weapons over the years, for him to use with most being custom made to fit his needs, all enhanced with magic in one way or the other. Using his own skills in weapons smithing and even weapons from completely different realties he has been to, adding them to his personal stockpile of weapons for his own personal use. After he met and started living with his father, who is one of the world's leaders in making dangerous weapons by the way, Xero was able to take his crafting even further, refining and recreating old weapons with the latest and best tech possible."

"Plus, old Reeps went the extra mile to recreate some iconic video game weapons, like the Hidden Blade from Assassin's Creed. One such as the legendary Assassin Gauntlet from Assassin's Creed Syndicate with all the cool features included. From the rope launcher, poison darts and even the Pivot Blade that allows him to discreetly extend or retracted from a mechanism worn on the user's wrist by thrusting it. Seriously Wiz, can you get me his number, I want my own Hidden Blade!" Boomstick yelled the last part, as the screen showed the Gauntlet in question.

"I wonder if i can get Xero to show me the blueprints or convince him to make me one. Oh! Oh! Maybe i can get him to allow me to make my own!"

Ruby silently squealed to herself at the image of her own Hidden Blade and how much she could add onto the already amazing design. She wondered if there were any other weapons, he would allow her to make.

Oh, it was going to be so much fun~!

"While he isn't a thief by nature, Xero is more than willingly to use weapons from Fallen enemies and hell, Gudako even brought him a new weapon from one of her own adventures, Scarecrow's Fear Gauntlet."

"Just to be clear Wiz, it's the version from the Arkham series, right?"

"Indeed, it is."

"Okay, so want to explain this to us now?" Rumi asked, still confused on who or what a Batman was. It sounded like a hero name to her, and Scarecrow was something that could easily pass off as a villain name but what the hell is an Arkham?

"Arkham is the name of an asylum for the 'criminal insane'" Gudako made finger quotes, as a rare scowl made its way to her beautiful face, "Even though there has NEVER been a record of any successful treatments for their patients, it is a key location in the DC comics for Batman. Batman has had many incretions over the years, but the version i went to be a three-game series called 'Arkham trilogy' featuring Batman going up against his worst enemies, one of them of course being Dr. Johnathn Crane aka the Scarecrow. The first two games he didn't really get too much screen time, save for boss fights but during the third game, he was able to takeover Gotham in one night."

"He must have some power to do that, so not manly." The future Red Riot spoke, as Gudako next words, made the redhead boy do a double take.

"He doesn't have any power or Quirk like you all, he's just very, very smart and with zero morals." Seeing as she now had all the heroes and heroes in trainings attention, she elaborated, "Dr. Crane is an expert in psychology, with a focus on fear, and is a certified professor on the subject. Not joke, look it up and in just about every version of him is a professor but anyway, he used his knowledge to create a hallucinogenic drug to attack his victims with. But due to how potent and dangerous it is, it's been classified as a new type of drug all on its own known as Fear Toxin. Just as dangerous Joker's Laughing Gas, the Fear Toxin is so dangerous, it WILL kill you if you don't get a cure as quick as humanly possible. To put it simply, the drug induced involuntary and sometimes irrational fear in its victims' minds, driving them insane, which in turn speeds up the victim's heart rate. It is very possible for people to die from fright, rare as it is, it can happen to people with a preexisting condition or too much fear for the mind to handle. The Arkham version of Scarecrow's Fear Toxin is a bit different but no less dangerous."

"How so?" Izuku asked Gudako but Peter Parker beat her too it.

"I actually read up on it after i beat the game. It was a drug that could be either inhaled or injected. When ingested it induced intense and sometimes irrational fear, which caused the user to go insane or even die in larger doses. Death is possibly by a concentrated dosage and the cause of death is most likely to be of sudden heart attacks, self-harm through use of the environment or unknown effects the chemical has on the brain and other internal organs. Heart attacks are probably the most common cause of death as a dose would cause heart rates to increase exponentially and lead to cardiac arrest. When Batman was exposed to the Fear Toxin in-game it led to a Scarecrow Nightmare. It set into motion to the main theme of the game, where it actually picks up from the previous game, where's Batman was poisoned with Joker's tainted blood and unknowingly created a new virus that basically turned people into mirror images of the Joker himself."

"How did he do that?" Shoto asked, as Peter went into detail.

"If i had to take a guess, it was because of a serum called TITAN used by one of Batman's Rogues, Bane. It made him stronger sure, but Joker had to go bigger and in a true Joker fashion, made it monster serum and transformed him into a monster, but old Bats kicked his ass anyway. That was in the first game, which leads to the second one, where Joker was revealed to be poisoned from TITAN and decide to get his greatest enemy to make a cure for him, by poisoning not only him but infecting the rest of Gotham with his own blood."

"So, like a true villain, this Joker basically strong-armed Batman into saving him?" All Might asked, anger clear in his voice at the cowardly and underhanded tactics. A true villain indeed, as Spider Man nodded.

"Now, see here old Bat boy would have happily let himself die if it meant he could take down the Joker with him, it would be a small price to pay but with so many innocent people infected too, that was unacceptable. So, long story short, he was able to find a cure and save everyone but by the end of the game, Joker doomed himself and died but not before killing several people that were close to Batman."

"Not that it mattered, as old Bats would save even his worst enemy, simply because that was his way of being a hero. Even if the fucker had killed Bruce's chance for a semblance of a normal life and having genuine loved one, aside from his 'children' of the Bat Clan."

Like Ra Al Ghul's daughter, Taila.

"I'm guessing some people didn't get the cure in time?" Jennifer asked, having personally never played the game before but she most certainly knew of Batman and the DC cast. Seriously, who didn't know the iconic Batman vs Joker battle?

If you heard of one, you heard of the other one at least once in your life.

"They didn't and instead of dying, Joker's blood acted like a zombie virus. But instead of undead, walking uglies, they turned into green haired, clown faced crazies with more than a couple of screws loose. The worst part of it all, is that Batman was infected too, and most people don't have access to his advanced arsenal of deadly weapons, gadgets and martial artist skills." Gudako revealed, much to the horror of many.

That said many paled at the implications, not needing to know all the details to understand just how BAD a Joker version of Batman would be like. Those who knew of Batman all felt fear rip through them, as many knew how dangerous Batman was and the fact, he didn't kill is the only thing that keep him from going completely too the dark side.

Even if he was a comic book character, the fact the multiverse existed meant the DC and Batman himself also existed as well. Even if there was a very, very lose possibility of the DC world somehow coming into contact with their own, it was still possible.

Gudako's already been to one such world, why not another version to go too or worse, coming to their world.

"Okay, so if we have had enough tell and tell, can we get on with it?" Olga asked, irritated, "You'll all see what she is talking about once her own bio is shown, so let's get this one done, and you can see it all for yourselves."

Ot that's right, after this viewing is done, Wiz and Boomstick will view Gudako's achievements and... Avenger Xero's.

Everyone slowly nodded, as the screen started up once more.

"Right, well moving on, this wouldn't be the last Xero picks up. while weapons like the Old Dog and LaserKraftWerk were taken from his enemies, he's made quite a few weapons of his own." Boomstick spoke, as the screen showed off Xero using his various weapons.

"Indeed, such as Joy Colt, a double barrel Revolver with the power of a rocket launcher behind each bullet. No amount of body armor or just plain armor will protect you from this deadly Revolver. It fires a .50 mm Rounds with a fire rate of 60 shots per minute with an effective reach of 500 mt and with a maximum velocity of 700 w/s." Wiz explained, as the screen showed Xero firing the Revolver with quick succession.

Ruby, Milessa and all the gun nuts within the audience were drooling at the sight of the beautiful weapon before them.

"And it sure isn't going to protect you from his pistol/shotgun hybrid, The Terminator. Never once have i ever heard a more befitting name for a weapon than this one. This weapon shoots a mix between a slug and a 00 buck, which enables efficient performance both in short and medium range, even if the gun kicks like a mull on steroids." Boomstick said, as the screen changed again, to show Xero blasting several HYDRA agents apart without mercy with just one shot from the weapon hybrid.

Many winced at the sight of blood and gore but otherwise said nothing, as the screen changed to show a purple coated rune, written in a Japanese kanji. The rune translated to:

Duplication

"But that's not all, thanks to his knowledge of the future, Xero was able to replicate one of his deadliest and most used rune he ever created, the Duplication Rune." Wiz said, as Boomstick once again cut in with a giddy tone.

"You remember those video games where you can play the infinite ammo cheat that was famous for games like GTA and some good old fashion shooter games? Well, old Reeps got himself a real-life cheat giving himself and his allies the ultimate gamer cheat code of having infinite ammo."

"Just like he gave us."

Natasha, Clint, Neena, members of the Levi Squad and all those who used anything that needed ammo of sorts to use their weapons. However, many who did not know about the Rune, stared wide eyed at the screen, unable to believe what they were seeing, and some felt a bit of sweat going down their bodies, now realizing just how dangerous Xero truly was.

It's one thing to have this kind of ability but to be able to pass it onto others to use at their own discretion, was a terrifying thought. One thing soldier needed constantly was ammunition and to have an infinite supply of it...it could turn the battlefield really quick.

What was worse, was this question:

Could he use that Rune for more than just ammo?

"I need that, Rune!"

Certain military leaders, criminals and overall assholes thought to themselves, knowing that one little rune alone could turn the tide of any battle their soldiers found themselves in. Both Earth and Remnant, as copying bullets was the same as using scrap metal to do it but dust ammo was much different and much harder to make. So, if the Rune could duplicate things, why not Dust itself?

It would be a total game changer!

"If he used that Rune on Dust, father would go ballistic, and the company would go under!" Weiss thought to herself, feeling terror well within her heart, "Where does that leave me and the company?! Would Mazoku really use it, simply to undermine me? I know the company doesn't have the best reputation but surely, he knows that when he created that so called 'Rune' did he not realize, or did he not care that it would destroy thousands of jobs within Atlas? Is he really that selfish and how the hell did he do it? Some sort of advanced technology maybe? His father is a genius after all, so maybe they're using so called magic to cover it up? Yes, that's it, it has to be!"

Oh wow, so not only did someone find it to be a danger but had her head so far up her own ass, she believed he did it to spite her, even though he wasn't aware of her existence until today and STILL refusing to believe what was before her very eyes.

Such arrogance.

"Although while it has many uses and can be abused the living hell out of, old Reeps needs to know what's he is duplicating to make it work." Boomstick said, as the screen change again, to show Xero hunched over his work desk, working on the rune as sparks flayed from it, "To put it in simply terms, he needs to know every little detail about it, from how it looks, what it's used for and right down to the cellar level in order to make a prefect dupliaction of the item in question. Bullets, for instance are an easy item to duplicate, as their made out of variety of materials, such as copper, lead, steel, polymer, rubber and even wax. Bullets are made in various shapes and constructions (depending on the intended applications), including specialized functions such as hunting, target shooting, training and combat. Bullets are often tapered, making them more aerodynamic. Bullet sizes are expressed by their weights and diameters (referred to as "calibers") in both imperial and metric measurement systems. For example: 55 grain .223 caliber bullets are of the same weight and caliber as 3.56 gram 5.56mm caliber bullets. Bullets do not normally contain explosives but strike or damage the intended target by transferring kinetic energy upon impact and penetration."

Everyone was shocked to hear the Crude Boomstick explain something in so much depth without help, even his co-host looked just as pleasantly surprised.

"Well, color me impressed." Wiz spoke, clapping his hands, "That was very impressive Boomstick, you actually said something smart,"

"Yea-" The co-host eyes narrowed, as Wiz's words sunk in, "Hey."

"Moving on." Wiz grinned, ignoring his angry co-host, "Just like he said, bullets can be made out of pretty much any type of metal usable. But of course, Xero doesn't do things the normal way and one of those weapons that using this Rune is his sniper rifle, Grudge."

Ruby perked up like a puppy would at the words, sniper rifle, much to her family and friends' amusement.

"Grudge is a high impact sniper rifle that fires higher caliber, faster bullets with a built-in mechanism that allows them to ricochet on thin air up to five times, allowing them to bypass any blockades or hitting multiple targets in one shot." Wiz spoke, as he examined the weapon, "Huh, it sats here the mechanism is a magical built in part that basically creates the 'wall' that allows the bullet to ricochet, nicely done."

"I need it." Ruby spoke simply, with stars in her eyes, hands slowly moving towards the screen, like she was in a trance "Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie."

"Down Ruby." Tai smiled a little at seeing his daughter back to her old self, if only somewhat at seeing a new gun she very much wanted. Not that he could blame her, as that looked like it was indeed a very gun Sniper Rifle.

"Next up are the twin pistols, Kami and Yami." Boomstick said, as the screen showed the black/white duo weapons together, "These twin pistols were created by Xero to not only bypass body armor and ensure the bullets couldn't be traced back to him, but they were also created to hurt, gggghhhhhooooosssssstttttttttssssss~" The host of Death Battle's dragged out the word 'Ghost' in a spooky tone of voice, "Or at the very least phantoms or enraged spirits, as he has faced many of these Specter's on his journey in the Grand Order. The orbs atop the pistols are what make the bullets in his pistols. Kami, the white pistol fires focused bullets of his mana and the black pistol, Yami, fires bullets made out his Yoki tainted mana. When fired, these bullets last only about ten minutes outside the pistols before vanishing, leaving it completely untraceable. So, this is basically his version of an ice bullet, hurts like hell and breaks apart before anyone can figure out what the hell happens."

"Next up is something that many might find impractical, unless you're a certain Hawkeye, the magically enhanced bow, Anthena." Wiz said, as the screen changed and showed the bow, coated in a light blue giving it a ghostly, ethereal, see through look to it. The bow itself was glowing the coated light blue and it gave it a ghostly look to it.

"Well, now what's this?" Clint leaned forward, now very interested to see just what this bow could do and see whatever it has, if Xero could upgrade his own bow even further.

Natasha rolled her eyes at her partner's response to the new weapon but would be lying if she didn't say, she wasn't intrigued by this odd-looking bow. But she wasn't the only one, as a bow user herself, Cinder found herself wondering just how different this one was compared to her own.

"Despite looking like a ghost bow, Athena, named after the goddess of wisdom and military victory herself, this bow has one mean handle to it." Boomstick spoke with a grin, as he mimicked a whacking motion, "It is a magically enhanced bow that doesn't need arrows to be placed into, as the string itself allows old Reeps to summon arrows, namely elemental arrows. Mostly arrows of fire, ice, wind, earth and lighting. Yeah, that last one is no surprise there."

No surprise indeed, seeing as Lighting itself seemed to be favored element of Xero's.

"And despite how well he can make weapons, there are some who firearms, which he had actually taken from fallen enemies." Wiz spoke, as the screen changed to show Paris overrun by the Nazi's in the Wolfenstein universe, "On his many, many journeys across the multiverse, where every possibility is possible, Xero once visited a world where the Nazi's WON WW2."

"Wait, what?!" Many looked alarmed at that, most of all Steve, Bucky and Logan, seeing as they fought in the war, they knew how bad the Nazi's where. Did this world have another Red Skull with no Captain America to stop him?

Or was it much worse?

"Yeah, but unlike old Reeps world, this one didn't have no Red Fuck in it." Boomstick's words clammed down the three mentions but not by much, "Nope, it instead had this guy, general Deathshead." A picture of the twisted general appeared on screen, "Heh, cheery name."

"Ugh, man that smile is so not manly." Kirishima shuddered at the general's unnerving smile. Unlike All Might's smile, one that inspired hope and justice, this smile only spoke of one thing:

Death.

"Is it wired that i want to put an arrow through his head?" Clint asked no one in particular, as Rumi snorted.

"Not really, seeing as i have the urged to kick his ugly ass all the way to the moon, it's not wired at all."

"While this has a long history needing to be covered, we will be focusing on the weapons he acquired from this world." Wiz said, a little sad at not being able to see some bastard Nazi's killed, "The first being the LaserKraftWerk, a powerful weapon that is very effective against armored enemies or anyone in general wearing any type of metal. The Laserkraftwerk fires high energy laser beams. It also has the ability to burn through thin sheets of metal. The weapon has two fuctions, one similar to the laser cutter, and the other a pure laser weapon that can harm enemies. Functions can be swapped the same way that weapon ammunition is swapped. The energy attacks from the heavy robotic enemies act as an EMP and drain the battery from this weapon, making it useless unless Xero recharges the weapon. Both laser cutter and laser rifle function can cut through chains, but the latter will attract attention from the enemy. The LaserKraftWerk has 400 battery units, and once the battery has less than 60 units, the weapon will recharge itself to 60, giving Xero two more shots. Though once he upgraded it with the Arc Reactor made by his father, that is no longer a problem, seeing as the weapon can now rechrage itself."

"For those not in the know to know, it basically vapozers his enemies." Boomstick simplified things, before adding, "And by vapozer, i mean VAPOZER. One shot and all that's left is a fine mist." The screen changed to show Xero shooting a Cultist with the weapon and with a loud humming noise, a blue bolt of charged energy hit the man in the chest, his body exploding into nothing but a small mist of red.

"Fuck." Bucky whispered to himself, rubbing his chest, "That thing reminds of those HYDRA weapons. Only, less refined."

"But no less dangerous." Steve nodded in agreement, having his own flash backs of the very dangerous and very deadly weapons and to think, this one was from a world that didn't have HYDRA, the Red Skull or the Tesseract. That was a scary thought and he for one, was glad that they had HYDRA to content with. Steve wasn't sure his prized shield could actually deflect that or not, but he wasn't in a rush to find out.

Or ever for that matter.

"That's fucking awesome!" Bakugo grinned at the sight of such a deadly weapon, as the two Shields and Mei looked at the odd-looking weapon with a critial eye. Even if it did look a little crude, there was no denying it was dangerous and well-made tool.

"The next is more of a heavy firearm known as the Hammergewehr or simply put a Hammer Gun." Boomstick said, introducing the next deadly weapon, a large mini gun like weapon with four barrels at the end, with a large shoulder and arch to carry it, "This baby fires very large shotgun shells that can put major holes in a person's body with super rapid succession by utilizing four barrels that is perfect for heavy duty enemies and armor. While it can easily tear through the body like hot butter and even armored tanks, transports and pretty much any type of armored vechile would be reduced to swiss cheese."

"That's even more awesome!" Bakugo grin, if possible, got even bigger as the boys of class 1A and some of the boys from Remnant nodded in full agreement.

"You got that right man!" Sun yelled in excitement, "Can you image using that against Grimm? They wouldn't stand a chance, i bet i can even kill a Deathstalker with it or even a Goliath!"

"The next weapon, while not exactly a heavy duty one, is without just as dangerous as the others. This next weapon is called Dieselkraftwerk or Diesel Power Plant is basically their version of grenade launcher." Wiz said in a slightly joking tone, as the weapon was shown on screen, "The Dieselkraftwerk's Blitzen-Diesel canister ammunition sticks to wall and enemies on impact. These canisters can be remotely detonated. Dual wielding the Dieselkraftwerk automactically detonates canisters on impact. An ideal weapon for every type of enemy but if you want to give your enemies a little surprise, this is the weapon for you."

"Heheh." Gudako giggled at the sight of many jaw drops, "Closes those mouths of yours, you haven't seen the best one yet."

"But those three weapons all pale in comparison to one of Xero's biggest, deadliest heavy weapons in his aresnal." Boomstick spoke in a giddy tone, "Introducing the big, the beautiful, Übergewehr or otherwise known as Super-Rifle or as i like to call it, the Big Fucking Gun 2.0 or better yet, the Umber Hammer." The large weapon was shown on screen, getting some looks of awe from the auidence, "It is an energy weapon which uses charged laser energy together with diesel fuel to fire a sphere of energy strong enough to vaporize Supersoldaten in one shot. Even though it takes about five seconds to charge, it is well worth it. Take a lookie-lookie!"

The screen changed, to show Xero during the Battle Of New York, holding the massive weapon in hand and the hammer charging up with the red spinner, spinning as the humming was heard, then.

POW

A red bolt of energy shot out of the weapon and when it hit a group of Loki's soldiers, "Brrrr-BAAAAAMMMMMMM!" Then without warning, a sphere of red energy emerged, encircling the large group and when it died down, nothing was left. Only a small carter was left behind and any evidence of anything existence there.

Ruby and Bakugo both fainted with massive smiles on their faces, having long since gone to weapon Nievera at the sight of such a beautiful display of power. Despite this, everyone's eyes were glued to the screen, not at all expecting such a display of pure power from the bulky weapon.

"And the Nazi's of another world had this kind of weapon?" Bucky whispered in pure horror, unable to tear his eyes away from the screen. Forgot Red Skull's weapons, that one alone could cause MASSIVE amount of damage. Aside from the five second charge, it was indeed well worth the wait to unleash that kind of damage.

"So he didn't make that weapon, he just took it from someone else, right?" Weiss asked, an underline of smugness leaking into her tone, making Gudako's eyebrow twitch, as did Olga's, not liking the sound of the white-haired girl's tone.

"Yes, he did." Here, Gudako gained her own smug grin, "But not before battling his way through hundreds of Nazi's soldiers, advanced robotic soldiers that quite frankly makes Atlas's own little robots look like windup toys AND fought a massive robot with enough armor that can easily outfit half of the armed forces with enough armor to tank a nuke bomb. No joke, that thing was fucking tough, and he had to unleash a small, scaled Lighting Storm to destroy it." The redhead's smile got bigger, as the second youngest of the Schnee family lost her smile, glaring at her for denying her whatever victory she might have had at insulting her dear Oni-chan.

Bitch had it coming, if she wants a fight, she'll get one.

"Why that little..." Weiss herself wasn't too happy at getting knocked back down so easily by this unclothed girl. She was not petty, she was a Schnee and Schnee's were above such things as being petty, but she hated being shown up, once again, by someone else. Bad enough she lost what was supposed to be HER position as leader of team RWBY and while she may have accepted Ruby as team leader, her pride was still sore over being chosen by someone else.

Especially someone two years young then her.

And now she found out someone who was much better than her in pretty much everything, only barely a year older, her spiteful self couldn't help but try to take a shot at him. Only for her one-shot victory to not only be denied by the older redhead but she made it sound even better, seeing as he had taken it off a clearly powerful foe.

"No matter." Weiss thought to herself, turning back to the screen, ignoring Gudako, "This so called 'Curator' will show everyone that Mazoku isn't some saint or perfect, just a freak of nature. Like those Faunus."

"It should be noted that the Hammergewehr and Übergewehr are HEAVY weapons." Wiz put a lot of empathizes on the word heavy, "Meaning that no normal human, well built or not, can actually lift these weapons, let alone use them. In fact, in that universe, the only reason Blazkowicz and his daughters can use such weapons, is because they were power armor that enhances their strength a hundred-fold."

"And that's not even mentioning the kick back these weapons have." Boomstick with a wince, rubbing his shoulder, "Take about getting kicked by a mule. Using these two weapons is like getting kicked by a mule on steroids. The only reason Xero can use it, is because he's much stronger than any normal human, so it all balances out."

"That makes sense." All Might nodded, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, "The bigger and stronger the weapon, the bigger the blow back it is."

"Still the hammer on that thing must kick like a mother." Denki rubbed his shoulder, already feeling phantom pains of trying to use such a massive weapon.

"Ribbit, well that's one way to end a fight really quick." Tsuyu put a finger to her chin, "I don't think anyone, criminal or villain can stay in one piece after getting hit by that thing or want to fight it."

"You're telling me." Roman nearly crocked out like Asui would, looking at an equally pale Neo, "Neo, i think we backed the right horse here." The small woman nodded, forget Cinder! That weapon isn't just a weapon, it's a WMD!

"And just to add into his already deadly arsenal of firearms, old Reeps has three types of grenades. Two of which he got from his good friend, Ko-Rel and the third one is just a pee-wee pellet but it's basically a grenade anyway, so we'll call it that." Boomstick spoke with a grin, as the three mentioned grenades appeared, one outlined with a red light, the second with blue light and the third was tiny, pebble size gray, "The first, technically called a Thermal Detonator, is a thermal grenade was designed to be thrown by the user, planted in a specific location or on a specific vessel, or dropped by a vehicle. It would then adhere to any metallic object until it detonated. The reasons for using a thermal detonator varied widely, and despite the legal restrictions of many governments, the thermal detonator saw widespread use across the galaxy. Inside the shell, which was generally made of thermite or axidite, was a sample of baradium, a highly volatile substance. A trigger emitted a short burst of energy that forced the baradium into a state of fusion reaction. This trigger could simply be a button. Some had a fail-deadly trigger, meaning that if it was released, it would set off the grenade. Once activated, the user could reset the grenade to its safe position, thus disarming it before it detonated. The result of the explosion was an expanding particle field that could atomize any material that did not conduct heat or thermal energy within the fixed blast radius—typically five to six meters, though specific grenades could have a blast up to 100 meters. Unlike other grenades, a thermal detonator's blast would only go as far as its blast radius. After that, the blast field would collapse, and anything even slightly beyond the blast radius would be left unharmed. But damnit, all the good and cool stuff is either in the hands of the bad guys or outlawed!"

"Holy shit, that is one dangerous grenade!" Neptune said outload, unable to keep his shock contained, as many agreed with him, that was a dangerous grenade. Bakugo, who had woken back up from his weapon overload of joy, was grinning widely at the sight of the epic grenade. Oh yes, Bakugo approved wholeheartedly.

Even if his explosions were better, that didn't mean he couldn't admire someone else's beautiful symphony of destruction. Not that he was the only one, as Nora was grinning just as wild, wondering if she could get big boss to lead her a few of those grenades.

"Yes, well this one will be a lot shorter and simpler." Wiz said, smiling slightly, as the screen focused on the next grenade, "The Anti-Gravity Grenade, when thrown, all enemies in its blast radius will have their artificial gravity turned off. Perfect for lifting enemy soldiers into the air, exposing them to gunfire, as it deploys an array of anti-gravity generators and forces anything within its range upward. Very handy for hostage situations or enemies hiding away in their hidey holes."

"And next up is the most common ninja tool, the smoke pellet or smoke bomb, whichever you preferred to call it." Boomstick spoke, as the third grenade was shown, "A smoke bomb is a firework designed to produce smoke upon ignition. Smoke bombs are useful to airsoft games, paintball games, self-defense and practical jokes. They are also used in smoke tests and inarly Japanese history saw the use of a rudimentary form of the smoke bomb. Explosives were common in Japan during the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. Soft cased hand-held bombs were later designed to release smoke, poison gas and shrapnel made from iron and pottery. The modern smoke bomb was created in 1848, by the British inventor Robert Yale. He developed 17th-century Chinese-style fireworks and later modified the formula to produce more smoke for a longer period of time. Old Reeps however uses them for a more particular use, scaring enemies, vanishing or just striaght up blinding them, allowing him to pick them off one by one. When is so much easier thanks to his recreated Assassin's Creed Syndicate Legendary Hidden Blade Gauntlet."

"A very smart and useful tool to have on hand." Aizawa muttered to himself, wondering idly if he himself shouldn't start investing into getting his own smoke bombs. His fighting style was better for one on one and seeing as what happened during the USJ attack, perhaps having something that could blind his enemies wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Sure, his Quirk couldn't work if he couldn't see his opponents, but they couldn't see him either, so vice versa they couldn't use thier own Quirks if they couldn't see him coming.

It was something to think about.

"Speaking of the Hidden Blade, his Assassin Gauntlet, while it is a remake to look exactly like the one from the game, it has all of it's fuctions." Wiz said, as the mentioned item appeared on screen, "According to the Assassin's Creed Wiki, he Assassin Gauntlet was a modification adopted during the 19th century to the standard Hidden Blade. Built around a bracer that covered the entire forearm, it consisted of two main parts, the Hidden Blade and a rope launcher attachment. By the Victorian era, later models replaced the rope launcher with an Assassin insignia-shaped grappling hook, allowing the wielder the means to a quick escape, or to facilitate urban travel by creating on-the-fly ziplines under the palm. These models also featured armor plating that partially or completely covered the glove, as well as embedded brass knuckles and a Dart Gun on the back of the forearm, which was used to launch poison darts at unsuspecting targets."

"Plus, it's not only comfortable to wear, but also cool as hell to wear!" Boomstick cut in, showing off his own AC Gauntlet, "Man, this thing looks so badass!"

"It does." Ruby said with a smile, her mind already going into overdrive, planning to make her own. She wasn't the only one, as Melissa and Mei were already thinking on how to make their own. A tool like that could be very effective if used right, remove the hazardous martials and killing items, it could be very effective way to take down villains.

Hell, Mei was already thinking of replacing the hidden blade with a hidden TASER! Both heroes and police officers would line up to buy them!

"Oh boy, Ruby has THAT look in her eye." Tai muttered to his wife, as Summer giggled but nodded in agreement. Her daughter was always fascinated by any and all new types of weapons, even if she shouldn't have them. It was just a matter of how much it would take for Xero to allow Ruby to look at his blueprints, while Summer had faith Ruby could figure it out, if she wasn't careful, she could lose a finger or two.

"I wonder if boss wouldn't mind making some for us?" Eren wondered out loud to himself, as Fury answered that.

"I wouldn't worry about Jeager, you and the rest of your squad are not only going to be reassigned but you're all going to be re-equipped as well."

"Reassigned director?"

"Don't worry, you and your squad will stay together." Fury said firstly, noticing the look of worry on his face, "While you all will still be a part of the Scouting division of SHEILD, your squad will be re-made into the Vanguard, the pointy tip of the spear if you will, against not only the Grimm but the Cult of Umber as well and for that, you need new equipment if you want to succussed against them. You all will be working closely with not just Xero but the Avengers and the Church as well to ensure the future of our world. Understood?"

"Yes sir!" Eren couldn't help but smile, as did the rest of his squad at the news. Being a SHEILD agent is one thing but helping to save the world? Well, it was nothing short of awesome!

"But that's not all, as Xero fights more then with just firearms or melee weapons, he fights the psychology way as too with this!" Wiz said, presenting to the world, Scarecrow's Fear Toxin Glove, "Taken off the defeated Scarecrow by his partner and fellow master Gudako, Xero has taken to using his enemies worse fear against them. While illusions are good and all, there is no sure way to know that it will work against them or even present them with their worst fears. Even if he is brilliant at psychological, there is just no way to know for certain but using Scarecrow's fear toxin CAN ensure it works and it also hides his magic, which is a big plus."

"While it can be injected via these long, pointy syringes on the end of his glover, it can also be disputed in the air, but it only lasts for about a minute." Boomstick added, "Wouldn't want anyone else, other than the intended target to be gassed, now would we. But thankful, he rarely does it or use the toxin itself, save for when he is interrogation his enemies."

"Well, he not wrong." Logan muttered to himself, remembering the number of HYDRA assholes Xero had used that very same glove on and how those fanatical idiots, who were so insanely loyal to Schmidt and were more than happy to die for him, sang like canaries not five minutes after.

Wiz spoke went onto the next weapon, his scythe. "His most used melee weapon is his signature weapon and what gave him Harvester. Infused with magic, his scythe can split into two, smaller scythes for mobility and can be used as a long-ranged weapon, whenever he needed. Not to mention the runes he inscribed onto the halt of the scythe gives him element options as well."

"Which is mostly lighting, fire, ice and wind." Boomstick broke down, as the screen showed Xero with his scythes behind his back, knee's, bent to crouch down slightly with his scythes crossed behind his back, both blades on fire.

"Most of his melee weapons have the same runes inscribed onto them to allow the same effects." Wiz said, as the screen showed several times Xero used different melee weapons. "Plus, like his claymore, he can summon his weapon back to his hand, like it was the Leviathan Axe from God Of War. But aside from his scythe and a certain claymore, this scythe is one of his most used weapons, which earned him the title of 'Grimm Reaper' in the underworld. You see this scythe; you know he's coming for Ya."

"And once again, it's also for psychological warfare." Boomstick cut in, "When one thinks of death in a physical form, they think of the Grim Reaper with a tattered cloak, a skull face and, you guessed it, a scythe. Nice work Reeps, you have made some of the most dangerous men on the planet fear you like you were death yourself."

"Well, he's not wrong." Eddie muttered to himself, chewing on the half of a Heresy's bar, while silently handing Venom his own piece, as the symbiote bit into it without anyone seeing it.

"His next weapon, is his family's sword, passed down from clan head to clan head, from his first ancestor, Miria." Wiz said, as an image of Black-Rose appeared, "The double edge claymore blade, Blackrose. Fun fact, black rose flowers signifying a rebirth or a major change, black roses are known to represent optimism and hope."

"Really?" Boomstick asked, intrigued by this piece of information.

"Yep." Wiz nodded with a smile, "It wasn't just because she could, Miria specifically chose the name Black-Rose, to symbolize the rebirth of her and her fellow warrior's new lease on life. Not only that, but the sword could only be wielded by the clan head and as such, the name Black-Rose also symbolizes a new dawn, a new head of the family, a new day."

"Aww, that's nice." Boomstick spoke, no trace of sarcasm in his voice, just genuine aweless.

"It is." Izuku spoke with a smile on his face, matching many other smiles at the symbolic meaning behind the name.

"Anyway, the massive sword aside from pretty much being able to tear through anything and being able to summon back to his hand, Black-Rose is basically the sword form of his scythe." Wiz said, "But it's mostly used as a killing weapon, meant to rip and tear through enemy defenses with ease."

"The next sword is a bit more complex and perhaps even more dangerous, the Meijikirā." Boomstick said, showing off the longsword, "Otherwise known as Mage Killer, as this puppy was designed to KILL Magus, more to the point, meant to cut through any type of magical defense or armor. The weapon was based off of Diarmuid Ua Duibhne spear mana cutter, Gae-Dearg. Seeing as how many magically foes he has faced, I'd say that's a smart thing to have. Be ten steps ahead of the enemy."

"It is." Clover nodded in approval, "Being ready for anything can be difficult and hard but it's well worth it, when you need it."

"And given all the shit that happens when the boss is around, that may not be a bad idea at all." Annie said without emotion, not really insulting Xero, just stating fact. A LOT of shit happened when he was around, and it paid if you weren't prepared.

"The next weapon is Tsuneni katto, otherwise known as 'Always Cut'." Wiz spoke, as a beautifully crafted Katana blade appeared on screen, wrapped in a black/white sheath, much to awe of the viewers, "Unlike the rest of his weapons, this Katana was forged by the legendary black smith, Gorō Nyūdō Masamune. Endowed with his wind magic, this blade is not only sharp but every time it hits something, a small thin blade of wind cuts whatever it hits. Whether it lands an attack directly or not, something is going to get cut, hence why the name Tsunei Katto, in japansese quite literally translate to Always Cut."

"Cause it will ALWAYS get you, one way or another." Boomstick CUT in.

"But, as good as all these deadly weapons are, they aren't very good in tight closed spaces." Wiz spoke, pointing to the very large, very LONG claymore sword, "Which is why Xero decide to make himself some shorter, but no less danger melee weapons, like Taiyo and Tsuki. Otherwise known as Sun and Moon, twin Obsidian made Kukri's. Now, you might be wondering, why did Xero chosen to make these blades specifically out of Obsidian."

"Simply because Obsidian blades never dull." Boomstick said simply, "That's it, not only do they look cool, but the blades will never dull no matter what and that is exactly what he wants. These aren't meant for long draw out fights, they're meant to fight short, close-up fights."

"Having multiple weapons, each for a different reason and purpose might be difficult but it is well worth the advantage they would give you." Glynda spoke, mostly to herself finding herself approving of his thought process. While most of her students had mech-shift weapons, they only rely on that weapon alone.

"Agreed." Ozpin and Nezu said at the same time, both headmasters finding Xero's way of doing things very particular and something to take notes from. Not killing or being ruthless but having many options for oneself and having more than just one skill set. Be they Quirk, aura, semblance or even magic. At the end of the day, the greatest weapon, the greatest tool you have is the one between your ears.

Seriously, some of the younger ones could learn something from the teen, seeing as they would more than likely to listen to him, rather than to adults. It was just how teenagers were, they don't like to listen to adults and being rebellions against them was just in their nature.

Just like making mistakes is part of being a teenager, as this was all a simple part of growing up.

"As said before, not all his weapons were made by his own hands." Wiz said, as a long knife black/purple blade appeared on screen with a small hook at the end of edge, with a black wrapped handle, "One of these weapons is his Hassan fashioned Kunai, one he got from his previous Serenity."

"Previous Serenity?" Momo questioned, as Gudako gained a sad smile, while Olga simply stayed stone face. That isn't to say she didn't feel bad about what happened to Xero's first version Serenity, but she didn't die needlessly. The Assassin died doing her duty, protecting her master to the bitter end, even if that meant she had to die in his place.

"Yeah, still kind of feel sad at watching that." Boomstick spoke to himself, "It should come as no surprise for someone who is willing to commit genocide to protect her master, that if she had to die to keep him safe, even if that meant she would lose her memories, she could do it without a second of hesitation. Xero keep the same knife, as both a reminder of what happened and to give the bastard who caused her death, a taste of it."

The screen changed to show Xero being choked by Berserker Cu Alter's spiked tail, as the Servant spoke, "Hurts, doesn't it?" The Alter spoke with a cruel smile, as Xero grunted, feeling his consciousness leave but still smile never less.

"No... But this WILL!" Without giving the Berserker a chance to question it, Xero summoned Serenity's knife and STABBED THE BASTARD RIGHT IN THE EYE!

"AGH! YOU DAMN HUMAN!" The Berserker threw him away, ripping the hooked knife out of his eye, as the screen froze with Boomstick commenting.

"Damn, I've heard an eye for an eye but i think that's taking it a bit too literally."

"I'll say." Endeavor winced, rubbing his own eye, damn did that look painful and why did he feel like he would know the same kind of pain? Like, watching this was like a foreboding warning. Why was that?

"The next weapon in his arsenal is pretty standard and one very common weapon of the Church, the Black Keys." The screen changed to show the cross halted swords, "These weapons are a sacrament of the Church, one of their many charms used against demons and vampires. Seeing how useful they are against many of his enemies, Xero decide it would be a good idea to add these little evil slayers to his collection of weapons."

"Which turned out to be a very good idea to do." Boomstick spoke, "As Keys of Providence, they are able to call forth the original laws of nature vampires were subject to as humans, thus preventing them through purification from healing the wounds made with this weapon. Emphasized on the ability to intervene spiritually against 'evil', they focus less on physical attack power, even affecting powerful spirits like Servants to some degree should they be struck. It is not enough to inflict any sort of fatal injury to them no matter how much energy is put into them, but they can be used to distract or pin them for a brief moment under the right circumstances. But enough of that, let's get to the good shit!" He spoke in an excited tone, as the screen changed to show one of Xero more brutal weapons, Warth, a-

"Is that a chainsaw-sword?" Ruby questioned, quickly noticing the detail and how well made the large, one edge blade was.

"Isn't that kind of weapon a bit much?" Midnight questioned, having bad thoughts at how badly that kind of sword could mess someone up, "Xero already has plenty of dangerous weapons, why would he need something so...brutal as that?"

"Paradon me." Bart spoke up, as he looked at Father Vincent and the Chruch duo, "But when Mr. Boomstick said that these Black Keys are meant to destroy evil, would they work against the Grimm?"

"Given the nature of the Grimm as 'creatures of darkness' the Black Keys will not only work but will work far better than any weapon you have created." The bald man smile, "That is not to say your weapons are inferior but that is simply the nature of Black Keys, they exist as spirit weapons to destroy evil or rather, darkness itself. If nothing else, armor or not, the Black Keys will work wondrous on even the strongest Grimm."

The green haired doctor nodded, "Thank you Father Vincent, this will help us greatly."

"Of course, it does."

More and more she learned, the more Cinder felt like the deck was being staked against her. Fate was on her side, so why was everything in this new world seemed to be working against her?!

She had a destiny, Fate itself was in her favor!

Right?

"Warth, aka his chainsaw-sword and one of the weapons his Avenger self-had created in the future to combat some of the deadliest zombies in the Dead War, The Ghoul Zombie." An image of a new type of zombie appeared on screen, unlike most zombies, this one had more than four limbs. The Zombie's mouth was non-existent, as it looks like someone has forced the mouth wide open, replacing the teeth with fangs. Its arms were stretched out, spider like arms with small stakes at the end of its hands, with four, small arms coming out of its stomach in a very grotesque manner with a snarling face, rather than an expressionless, shambling slow moron one like most normal zombies.

"Oh, that's not right." Spider-Man said, sounding like his face was green and sick, "What makes them so dangerous, looking ugly?" But as always, he couldn't help but talk smack.

"Aside from looking uglier than one of those predators from the AVP movies, these types of zombies have three deadly functions that make them so dangerous." Boomstick said, unknowingly copying Peter, "First and foremost, these bastards can regenerate almost instantly, making killing them a real pain in the ass. Hence why old Reeps needs something that will not only cut them but tear their flesh asunder, so he has a chance to finish them off before they decide to get back up and seeing as they like to attack in packs, he has to do it real fucking quick. The second, is the fact they don't just eat flesh, these things were created to KILL. As in kill everything that moves, if they spot you, they WILL come after you, regardless of the fact they have meat to munch on."

"Okay, so clearly these zombies were made as some sort of vanguard or assult force for the Rotten world but i honestly don't see how much more worse they can get." Jaune spoke, mostly to himself, "Zombies are tough enough to kill as it is, unless they have some sort of magic."

"Oh Jaune, you have yet to see the worst part about these monsters." Gudako sighed, envying his innocence and ignorance a bit, "The best way i can describe it, is that the Ghouls zombies are the equivalent to the Grimm called Apathy."

"Apathy?!" Port yelled, eyes wide in horror, as were the rest of the veteran huntsman, "You don't mean-"

"But it's the third ability that makes these Ghouls so dangerous, as its unclear how the Six did it, but the Ghoul zombies are able to produce pheromones that induce psychosis into people." Wiz said, revealing a horrible truth to everyone, "Perhaps it is magic, perhaps it's how they were made, it could be anything, but one underlying fact is the Ghoul zombies are one of the deadliest zombies ever created, not just because of what they can do, but because of what they are. Even dead will not stop the pheromones from being released into the air."

"That's how these zombies were able to bring down Wakanda in just one week, despite all their advanced technology." Boomstick said, not knowing he had just spilled some beans not meant to be spilt just yet, "When Wakanda sent out a distress signal and Xero with his new team went to assist, all they found was a scene straight out of Slaughterhouse."

The screen changed to show the halls of the once great nation, now stained with blood, guts and dismembered bodies all over the place in various locations, with no hope for survival.

"My god." No one could say anything, what could they say after seeing such a seen. They could only look on with horror and some were crying at the sight, unable to contain their emotions at the sight.

"You just had to ask huh?" Well, not everyone, as Weiss, while equally horrified to learn just how dangerous this new type was, did the only thing she could: Mock Arc.

"Can Salem make a new type of Grimm like these Ghouls?"

Oh, and we forgot about miss bitchy bitch aka Cinder. The arrogant woman herself, was thinking about asking her mistress if she could recreate the Apathy into something like these Ghouls, taking away will is good and all but making people go psycho? Make people tear themselves apart?

That was so much better.

"Well, i think we now understand why he has such a weapon." Ghira said, unable to find fault with creating such a burtal weapon, when he was facing off against enemies like that. It was kind of hard to argue with that. His wife nodded, as Khan and the Albain brothers looked paler than normal, clearly seeing how, if Mazoku ever turned his sword on them, a quick death would be off the table.

"But the sword is massive and not very good in tight, small, narrow hallways." Boomstick said, getting nods from the weapon nerds, as that blade, while it wasn't as big as Black-Rose, was still a whole lot of weapons to lunge around, "So rather than just wait for something to happen, old Reeps did some research and with the help with tech from Symkaria, created a real-life Lightsaber!" The screen changed, to show Xero wielding the pure white plasma blade.

"Actually, he calls it a Photon sword." Wiz said simply, not damping Boomstick's excitement, "Even if it is basically a lightsaber, this Photon sword is called Hikari, which translate to Light. Very appropriate name." Wiz chuckled at the choice in name.

"I WANT THAT!" Mei exploded at seeing such a pretty baby, all but jumping out of her seat, ready to reach into the screen and pluck that baby from Xero's hands, only for Mr. Power Loader to stop her, by grabbing her shoulders, forcing her to seat down, much to her dismay.

"Down Hatsume!"

"But Sir-"

"Down girl!"

"Incredible!" Doctor Polendina spoke, eyes wide in amazement as he looked at the glowing blade of light, "To be able to contrast a weapon that can focus plasma so perfectly that it can take shape, let alone remain stable to actually use it in live combat is extraordinary! Even with our recent advancements in hard light Dust technology, nothing comes close to this elegant weapon!"

"Is it really that shocking?" Tony asked, genuinely surprised at the excitable doctor's words, "I would have figured the 'greatest kingdom in Remnant' would have lightsabers in all of its soldier's hands."

"Most of our hard light Dust generations are all big and bulky, needing to be that size to sustain the energy field to produce the stable field to keep the energy from going in every direction." The doctor said simply, "Even then, only our mechs have had the strength to uphold them and it's still relatively new to us. Mr. Stark, if you don't mind, can-"

"No."

The doctor frowned, as did the general and councilmen at being denied a clearly revolutionary piece of equipment. Not the photon sword itself but how it was able to stabilize the energy to turn into an energy sword.

"Why not?" Sleet asked, trying to keep his temper in check, "Mr. Stark you clearly don't understand-"

"Yeah, no let me stop you right there." Tony interrupted, holding his hand up, "You are not getting it from me, since one, it's not mine to give away. It's my son, HE made that with his own two hands for his use alone and i promised him that i would not give away any of his secrets."

"Even if he's kept so many secrets from you?" Sleet probed, unwillingly to let such a revolutionary over something so ridiculous as a promise, "That piece of technology can help save thousands, millions of lives even."

"It can also cause the death of just as many too in the wrong hands and seeing as how Atlas has lost, what was it Ritsuka?" Tony looked at his adopted daughter, "Ten Paladins to the White Fang because of Miss fire and brimstone?"

"Eleven actually."

"How did you know that?!" Ironwood demanded, feeling shocked run through his system at the classified information being shared so bluntly by someone who wasn't even from Remnant.

"You really need to update your cybersecurity." Tony said simply, as he looked back at Sleet, "And second, my kid was smart enough to write the blueprints in not only his family Grimoire that can only be accessed by the clan head of the Mazoku clan, but it's all written in ancient Avalon, the lagune of the Magus, so even if i did give you the blueprints, you wouldn't be able to read it."

"Ah, yes i see." Father Vincent however looked surprised and then pleased, "Yes, it was very clear for Lord Maozku to write it in ancient Avalon. Seeing as hardly any Magus even knows the language, let alone how to read it, it makes sense that using that would be the perfect way to not only hide their secrets but ensure only those they want to know them, will be the only ones to have the means to do so."

The councilman gritted his teeth at this Tabit of information, if what they said was true, then stealing the info would be next to impossible. However, it was Clover that stopped him from saying something that could destroy any bridges between the two.

"Look, I get it. Magus are the real secretive type, keeping things close to the chest, so what can we do to smoothen relationships between Atlas and the Avengers? We're all on the same side after all."

"Besides keeping Hare, the angry bunny away from my son?" Tony asked, jerking a thumb towards Harriet, much to her anger, "Prove you are trustworthy and mini-me might, he MIGHT share what his data with you but i wouldn't count on it. But keep in mind, Xero is slow to trust, and it took six months for him to sleep without one eye open in my tower and I'm his father. So, i would say best of luck, but you're going to need more than luck."

"How can we get him to trust us?" Vine asked, ever the diplomat of the Ace-Ops, as Tony simply snorted.

"That's your problem, not mine." He glared hard at Sleet and Ironwood, "You want our trust, earn it."

Selfish, arrogant and cowardly.

That was the word on the tip of both Winter and Weiss's tongues, but they keep it to themselves, seeing as how quickly his people were quick to defend Xero. Though as much as it angered Winter to hear constant insults and veiled barbs, she could not deny any of it and realistically speaking, the blueprints to this photon sword WERE his property.

He thought of it, designed it and created it, therefore it was his to use as he saw fit by law, until he did something illegal with it.

Atlas might have been the most technologically advanced kingdom in the world, but it has come nowhere near to the level of creating something as sophisticated as Hikari and there was nothing she could do. Not without pissing off a lot of powerful people in the process and that wasn't even including the Iron Man armor that the father of Mazoku had created.

Many in Atlas wanted that suit handed over to them but seeing as how the US army was denied it, it was very doubtful that he would give Atlas it either. Even if they could buy it off him, Stark was one of the richest men in the world and seriously, what use would he have for their currency? And even if they do convince him, his son would most certainly not and there was no way of knowing for certain if Stark could read this language of the Magus.

Did Mazoku even teach his father how to read it or did he keep that close to the chest too?

"No." Winter mentally shook her head, looking back the screen, "As much as it pains me to admit, father's idea might have some merit to it. Mazoku won't sell the designs for profit, while that's not exactly a bad thing, this is something that could help everyone but only if we know HOW he did it! Brothers i hate this, I'll ask General Ironwood but I'm sure he'll approve of me, the boy likes tall women after all. So, all i have to do, is...is..."

Getting close to a teenager and if need be, seduce the boy, possibly become a part of his harem and get him to give up his secrets. As mature as he was, he was still a teenager and they liked sex.

A lot.

Winter hands fell into her hands, Brothers did she hate the mission already. But if it would help protect Remnant, Atlas and most of all, her little sister, than she would do just that.

No matter how much she hated it.

"Whatever." Boomstick waved off Wiz's comment, "Anyway, this baby is actually supposed to be an improved version of Warth, a replacement. Which makes sense, as torn flesh could be repaired but burned, completely destroyed flesh? I don't think so son and damn, i really, really want that." The co-host made a 'gimme' monition with his hands towards the Photon sword.

"That makes sense." Hawks nodded, "Wielding that is a lot easier, than picking up and swinging around a heavy chainsaw. Not to mention burnt flesh is much harder to regenerate than torn flesh." The blonde man frowned, as he thought about all the evil shit, he had seen in his hero career. He'd seen all manner of death, including people being shot, torn apart and burnt.

"But that isn't the only type of energy-based weapon in his arsenal." Wiz said, as it showed Xero fighting several shadowed figures, bullets keep firing at him, only to be blocked by a light blue/white sphere like shield, "This is the Necrotic Shield, originally powered by hydration fuel cells by his Avenger self, this one is powered by the Arc reactor his father made, the Sheild is the ultimate defense. It is an energy barrier that disintegrates incoming projectiles with ease. It was created by his Avenger self to not only protect himself but the soldiers from the undead army, as just one bite, one STRACTH from these creatures and you will become one of them."

"Seeing as his Avenger self-did not have access to the same level of tech his present self has, he had to make do with hydration fuel cells." Boomstick chuckled darkly, "But then again, we all know what happens if you rupture one of these cells and seeing as how dying in Avenger Xero time usually means you become undead fodder, that option was much more preferable."

The screen changed to show a nameless soldier was clutching his bleeding stomach, as his other hand touch the belt, given to him by his general, that not only allowed him to use the Necrotic Shield but housed its power source. The incoming dead made him smile grimly, as the fuel cells looked very much damage and was hissing out air. "Burn in hell, you sons of bitches." Then he tossed the hissing cell onto the ground, as it violently rumbled a bit.

The screen pans out, a half a mile away and then.

"KA-BOOM"

A small but powerful explosion was screen, wiping everything out within a half a mile.

"Oh. My. God." That was all Momo could say, hell that was all anyone could think after seeing another game changing item Xero had created, used to wipe out a horde of zombies within just seconds, even if it killed it's user. Not that he was already dead but in doing so, he ensured that he wouldn't become another undead fodder for the Rotten World's army.

The military men, all saluted the brave soldier for what he did, even on the verge of death, he made sure the enemy suffered losses of their own. Even if it was only the bare minimum, it was still something.

"As you can guess, you lot will also be outfitted for your own Necrotic Shields." Gudako said with a small smirk at the god smacked looks from team Levi, "Wouldn't do for you all to get killed by some random lucky idiot."

"You're kidding?" Levi actually looked shocked, his stoic mask long forgotten, "Bright Eyes is actually making us those shields."

"Well, we have been able to shriek it down so all you have to do is wear a belt, it's still a work in progress." Tony offhandedly said, "We still have to get your blood, in order to make Blood-Seals to each person's Personal Sheild Generator or PSG, to ensure it can't be stolen. Wouldn't do for the bad guys to get our tech and use our own weapons against us."

"Sweet." Grins broke out amongst the squad, each one talking excitedly, save for Annie of course but the small smile on her face said everything. However, that didn't stop Ironwood and Sleet from approaching Tony and Pepper.

"Mr. Stark-"

"No."

The general and councilman frowned, with Sleet speaking, "Mr. Stark do you have any idea how many lives this device can save? If you would just-"

"The answer still no." This time, it was Pepper who cut Sleet off, "It was my son who created this device and unless we get express permission, we cannot, will not share how he created the PSG."

"Plus, mini-me replaced the energy source with the Arc Reactor, as in MY personal property and as i have no interest in selling it, you aren't getting jack." Tony's smile turned more shark like, "And as i recall, you Atlas lot seem to have a problem with holding onto stuff, like a certain eleven giant, ugly as hell death robots?"

The general's face turned red, from either anger or embarrassment was unclear, "That's-"

"Now, now." Ozpin got between the two, playing the peace maker, "We are all on the same side. Surely there is something we can work out, Mr. Stark. As James and Councilmen Sleet have said, this device can save hundreds if not thousands of lives. Huntsman can even use this, so when they go into the Grimm Lands, their chance of survival is that much higher."

"While i won't deny that it can just as easily destroy lives." Tony subconsciously rubbed his chest, where his Arc Reactor was, "You understand that one of the main reasons why i stopped making weapons, is because i saw my them, the very i weapons i created to protect my country were not only used to kill America troops but were used by terrorist to kill innocents. Whether i like it or not, their blood is on MY hands. My weapons, my name, my fault. I created the Iron Man armor to not only stop the Ten Rings from using my weapons to kill innocents, i used it to destroy all of my weapons that were sold to the bad guys and right my own wrongs."

"But it was the terrorists that killed people, not you." Sleet pointed out, as Tony shook his head.

"Nope. My company, my name on the side of the missile, my fault, my mess to clean up." His eyes harden, "Just as raising my kid, my son was also my responsibility that his mother didn't tell me before she passed on to the next world. Now, up until three years ago, i never wanted kids and was terrified of raising one but ever since i met him, i wanted nothing more than to be involved with his life. I want my son to know he can trust me, that i will help him and love him no matter what he does, as i have no right to judge him for his actions. So, if you think i would betray his trust for profit or even something like saving lives, then you're dead wrong. It might be selfish but i have always been a bit selfish, so if you want his weapons, his shield," Tony waved a hand between them, "prove to my kid, that he can trust you and if you can't, then your out of luck."

It was very selfish to deny something that could not only save many soldiers' lives but many others and help revolutionize defenses around the world, but what could Ironwood do? It all boiled back down to one simple thing:

Trust.

Xero had no trust in many people, beyond his circle of friends and those his Avenger self-had known in the future and beyond. It would be difficult and if anything, out of the book of NULL was true, then it be nigh impossible to earn his trust.

"No matter. I can have Winter or maybe Elm gets closer to his son." Yes, soldiers they might have been but surely, the two adult women could wrangle answers out of a hormonal teenager.

Right?

"Man, looking at all these weapons, it's like half of them came out of a Sc-fi movie." Jaune said in amazement, as his team nodded in agreement.

"It does." Ren thought back to his own weapons, "I wonder if Mazoku would be able to help me reconfigure Storm Flower to house regular bullets or even allow me to use that duplication rune of his?"

"Ah i wouldn't worry about it Renny." Nora threw her arm around the boy, starting to choke the poor boy, "I'm sure Big Boss would let us. All we've got to do is prove that he can trust us and seeing as your always honest and I'm me, he'll trust us in no time."

Well, she wasn't wrong. Ren personally believed lies were worthless and did nothing but hurt others. And Nora? Nora was honest in everything she did and was as pure as they came, at least in actions, so he didn't doubt her.

"You're fucking shitting me." Mercury compilated at seeing this new hurled, feeling their chances at winning grow dimmer and dimmer, "What kind of fucking load of bullshit is this!"

"Mercury, shut up!" Emerald hissed, feeling the same as Merucry but knew to keep her mouth shut. She could see her beloved mistress was just as anger and wanted to take it out on something and was trying to make sure it wasn't them that she took her anger out on.

"But the Sheild isn't the only thing that helps protect Xero." Wiz spoke, as an image of the black and red Iron Reaper armor appeared. Like Tony's suit, it had the Arc reactor in the middle of the chest and was painted black, with red mixed into it. But that is where it stopped, as unlike the Iron Man's suit, the face plate looked more like an actual skull with no nose or eyes and it had mechanical bone wings on the back, spread out, "What we have before us, is the Mark 1 suit, The Iron Reaper armor. Given to him by his father on his seventeen birthdays."

"Man, he is so lucky." Boomstick whined, "All i got on my birthday from my day was a black eye!"

Some winced at the dark joke and many idly wondered what the relationship between Boomstick and his dad was.

"Much like Tony's suit, it has the same functions as it." Wiz said, moving on.

IRON REAPER ARMOR

-Composed Of Black/Red Titanium Alloy

-Capable Of High-Speed Flight

-Can Link Up With His Focus

-Repulsor Beams

-Laser Beams

-Smart Missiles

-Anti-Tank Missiles

-Unibeam

-Wings Can Fire Repulsor's

-Arc Whips

-Can Attach And Detach Necrotic Shield

"Much like his old man, the Iron Reaper suit have the strength to lift up over 100 tons, fly at supersonic speeds, and can link up with the AI JRAVIS, plus the suit itself withstands prolonged and extreme combat situations with relatively minor damage" Boomstick said with a grin, "Which in turn can link up with his Focus thingy, giving him tons of valuable info during a fight, clue him into weakness of his enemies, connect with any computer in the world or even the satellites to find him intel and even control his weaponry of the suit, while old Reeps does something else entirely. Damn, now that's what i can multitasking."

Xero was already dangerous enough as it is but to hear he not only had his own Iron Man suit, only made those who found the boy a threat to their plans sweat even more. Especially the AI known as JRAVIS, as Cinder knew, even if that arrogant ass Watts could hack into the suit itself, would he be able to fight off the AI?

"But, as usually, that's simply not enough for Xero." Wiz chuckled, "Nor would his father hear of it, as his father made sure to outfit his son's suit with ever weapon, he had and then some."

"Yes!" Ruby squealed in excitement, "More weapons!" This was the greatest day of her life, never once has Ruby had the pleasure to see so many weapons in one place and each one so unique! ~ This was heaven!

"Yep, like his old man's suit, the Iron Reaper suit comes equipped with shoulder mounted darts, rockets, anti-tank missiles, an EMP and of course the Iron Man special, Laser beams!" Boomstick said.

"Did he just say lasers?!" Bakugo yelled, once again grinning ear to ear, as his redhead friend yelled out "Manly" or something along those lines. The ash haired blonde wasn't listening, to enchanted with the sight of sheer beauty.

"These Repulsors effect is created by taking excess electrons and turning them into muons which can penetrate deep into atomic matter before being fed to the hands and chest piece of any Iron Man suit." Wiz said, explaining the details of the suit's abilities, "The suit then takes in air through the suit and runs it to any of the emitters. An electric current running through the suit's gauntlets creates a small amount of plasma which ignite the energy for projection."

"Man, now i want an Iron Man suit." Yang said, grinning imaging herself in her own, yellow coated suit, causing her family to shiver. Oh Brothers, Yang was already powerful and reckless enough as it was, she didn't need more fire power!

"Me too!" Nora said, causing Ren to shiver.

"I know right?" Mei grinned, nodding in agreement with the rest of them, as the blonde Sheild looked thoughtfully at the suit.

"Well dad, i think it's safe to assume Mr. Stark has made something that surpasses all your projects." David laughed good naturally at his daughter's comment.

"No doubt honey." The man grinned slight at her, "This just means i have to work harder if i want to meet the high bar Mr. Stark has set for me."

"Indeed, my old friend." All Might patted his shoulder, "But i know you if anyone can reach it, it'll be you."

"Plus, he's also got miniature cluster bombs, homing missiles, mulit-directional repulsors." Wiz said, "Oh and he smartly put flares into the hips, so he can avoid heat seeking missiles or just missiles in general. That not even including the built in his laser system. A pair of one-use lasers that could be used to cut anything with even the briefest contact, regardless of what it was. They are mounted and fired from the hand plates of the suit. These are made from Palladium cartridges. They could be used only once."

"And not one to leave a good weapon to gather dust, old Reeps even repurposed and rebuilt Ivan Vanko's improved Arc Whips." Boomstick said, as the screen changed to show the man in question, using his whips to attack Tony in the race, "Damn, i have heard of cracking the whip but that's taking it a bit far."

"I think that whip, far surpasses your own Seinna." Kali said with wide eyes at the level of damage one whip strike was able to do, as the tigeress nodded, wincing at the thought of getting hit by one of those.

She probably loses her arm, aura or not.

"Not to mention the armor is strong enough to tank pretty much anything." Boomstick said, as a clip of Xero fighting in his Mark 1 armor during the Battle of New York, "The fact he was able to fight for an entire day, while tanking alien soldiers with advanced weapons and the God Of Lies himself, you know this armor is worth every penny."

"The Suit itself can do anything his father's suit can do." Wiz said, putting that fact up, "But what Tony's suit doesn't have, is his son's Focus." The screen changed again to show the device in question, "A small, augmented reality device that can be worn by human users that serves as a multipurpose sensory interface. This device is responsive to the user's gestures and voice and displays a visual 3D interface visible only to them, aiding in the operation of machinery and technology alike, as well as in communications."

"So, basically JARVIS on steroids?" Boomstick asked/joked.

"Well, yes actually." Wiz said, "The Focus can attach itself the side of the user's head, through the use of magnetism and magic. It is extremely durable, and it's been proven as Xero's had his skull smacked around a lot, not to mention he uses his Lighting magic to keep it charged, so he never has to take it activated, a ring of light illuminates around the device. The interface is within a wide geodesic polyhedron of holographic light, and important markers are also indicated with holographic light in purple and blue hues. The Focus also contains a suite of sensors that can scan and reveal the location of animals, humans, and machines in a certain range. It is somehow linked to the technology present in machines as well, as Xero can scan machines with it, revealing information about them such as components and behavior, and in some cases, the three-dimensional interface will extend and adapt to machines to facilitate some processes. Hell, it can even repair damaged data and recreate them when needed."

Izuku wrote down all the information as fast as he could, while Penny continued to record all the data, she was receiving from these videos. Everyone else stayed quiet, listening to everything they had to say.

"But the Iron Reaper armor isn't the only type of armor he has." Boomstick said, as the screen changed to show his mother, Lilith in the Immortal Guardian Armor, "While this armor may not be able to shoot out missiles like nobody's business, it CAN protect Xero not only from pretty much any and all attacks but from the wrath of the elements themselves. The armor has been endowed and enchanted throughout the many, many centuries to better protect the clan head, as this armor can only be worn by the clan head."

"Yes, despite looking like old armor that can be easily destroyed by modern day weapons, you are in for one big surprise." Wiz said, as a small, cross dagger appeared on screen, "And to complete the outfit, is the Dark Dove. A small dagger that has been magically enhanced, to slip through any type of armor, magical or otherwise and kill their target."

"And we were saving his last added weapon for last." Boomstick said, as a certain gold laced spear appeared on screen, "The Old Dog aka the Ancient Warrior aka Balathu spear."

"Isn't that the same spear that nearly killed Jason?" Levi questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Aka, the same spear that nearly skewered Jason Kolchek had it not been for Salim pulling him out of the way, at the very last second." The screen changed, to show the Iraqi soldier eyes widen, before he grabbed the running American soldier and pulled him out of the way, just in time to dodge the spear aimed at him, as Xero grabbed the spear, as the trio ran towards the elevator.

"He kept the spear?" Ymir snorted and laughed at the absurdity of it, "Wow, got to give it to the boss, he certainly gets points for being a hoarder."

"What's wrong with hoarding?" Ursula questioned, as the tall, freckled woman merely laughed, not answering the dragoness.

"Having the Queen of the Shadow Land as his teacher, one can expect that Xero was trained to use a spear." Boomstick said, "But being, well himself, old Reeps wanted to stand on his own two fight, to forge his own legend with his own weapons. Hence, when he spotted this spear that nearly killed his new friend, he nearly took it. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense."

Everyone laughed or chuckled at the subtle joke.

"Yes, well after polishing it up, sharpen it and adding some elemental runes to it to make it more dangerous it was a welcome addition to his arsenal." Wiz said, "And his final weapon is actually a pair of slivers spiked brass knuckles."

"Sliver?" Rhodey questioned, "What, is he going to go hunting a werewolf or something?"

"Which he made by himself, after Gudako got a job at a sump camp and wouldn't you know it, it was not only haunted by the 'Hag Of Hackett's Quarry' but the owners were a cursed werewolf." Boomstick said, as the knuckles appeared on screen, "But that's a story for another time, as these bad boys are good for delivering the point home."

"Summer camp? Really?" Tony questioned, looking at his daughter, "Could you not get anymore clinic?"

"Not my fault Silas thought it would be a good idea to hunt during a full moon."

"Yet, despite all these skills, weapons and abilities, Xero is not invincible." Just like that, his words caused tension to rise within the theater room, "For all his power, Xero is still human."

"Well mostly but you get the point." Boomstick said with a wave.

Gudako sighed, now here came the hard part:

Showing everyone her Oni-chan wasn't just a monster or legend. He can bleed and as she learned long ago, if something bleeds, it can die.

"Okay, I'm just going to tell it to you all straight." Boomstick said seriously, no trace of humor found on his face, "Xero doesn't have any real weakness physically, aside his heighten senses that work great in most situations but to things like Flash bombs would hurt a person's eyes, it damn near blinds him permanently if given the chance, if not for his fast-healing ability. But aside from his heighten senses being used against him, there are very things his Yoki, and magic can't heal almost instantly or deal with, aside from not being able to hold his breath for long. But that's mostly because his healing is in fact limited to his mind's eye. As wired as it sounds, his healing will only work if he knows how to heal his body back to what it original was."

"The Warrior Neideen actually confirmed this fact." Wiz said, as the woman in question appeared on screen, namely her eye patch, "Before she was turned into a warrior, 9. Neideen lost her eye to unknown means. By the time she became a Warrior, she could no longer remember what it was like to have both eyes. Thus, she would forever remain one eyed, simply because the offensive type of regeneration is simply weaker than a defensive types. Offensive trade healing power for simple power and defensive sacrifice offensive power for defense and superior healing."

"That, actually makes sense." Izuku spoke, seeing how that worked, "Having to consciously use his Yoki in order to heal his wounds means he would need to know how it originally was before he could heal it."

"And having more defense options, means it would restrict his offensive options but on the flip side, increase defensive options." While Endeavor believed in strength above all else, having a strong defense can decide the battle.

"The Sheath to Excalibur, Avalon, not only heals even the most fatal of wounds but it stops aging completely." Wiz said, as Artoria's sheath appeared on screen, "In essence, this is how Artoria was able to stay so young during her first life, preventing her from growing fully and keeping her gender a secret from everyone. Not to mention it can heal any disease, wound, anything that would threaten his life."

"The only drawback is that he needs to be around the original owner of the sheath to keep the sheath recharged." Boomstick said, "But hey, seeing as she used that sheath to purpose to him, letting him become the sheath to her sword, it all works out. So old Reeps has become something of a false immortal. While he can still die, it most certainly won't be from old age."

"How many people would come after my kid, if they knew he held the key to enteral youth?"

It was something Tony didn't want to think about. The man loved his son very much and while he has fought off a lot of people that wanted to "see the secrets of his DNA for the benefit of mankind" and all that crap, he had a feeling that next time, they won't be asking.

Or talking period.

Power was one thing but having eternal youth? Immunity to pretty much every disease known to man and regeneration.

A lot of people have search for ways to obtain all that and what could be considered a unique variety of the super solider serum used on Rogers, would attract many eyes. A small, very small percent of those people might want his son's DNA abilities for good but the rest of them won't be asking so nicely.

Or at all for that matter and it made Tony rack his big brain on what to do about it. Sure, he could protect his son easy enough, not to mention arming him with some of the best weapons this world had to offer but corruption and dirty politics were a thing. As proven in the book of NULL and having experinced betrayal before.

Someone, somewhere that had everything and wanted more, will have the means to get more. If not by normal means, then the highly illegal, highly uncaring why of doing things. Take a look at Null Jaune.

He had a powerfully dangerous semblance, and the real bad guys not only stole his entire family to be used as lab rats with no one none the wiser. Then when he escaped, Null Jaune was orchestrated, demonized and braded a criminal for daring to think he could escape the bad guy's clutch's and believing he was a human being, not just some weapon to be thrown away like yesterday's trash.

Even if they had the evidence, politics came into play. Atlas would no doubt protect their weapons manufactures at all costs, even if the good general really, truly did try to do the right thing during the story, but let's face it. One family vs thousand, maybe nearly a million and it was just no contest who would win.

"They'll come for your children." A dark, twisted voice that sounded suspiciously a lot like Stane's voice, spoke within the deepest darkest corners of Tony's mind, "And just like Yinsen, you'll fail to save them too."

Like hell he was.

Tony gritted his teeth, shaking his head, to shake off the voice. He ignored his wife and science buddy's worried looks, refocusing on the screen. Come hell or high water, he would protect his kids. From the Grimm, Salem, White Fang, huntsman, criminals, soldiers, aliens, interdimensional monsters and yes, that included some charismatic fuck tard that believed he could do anything he wanted if it meant for the 'Better meant of Atlas.'

That son of a bitch Fields wants a war.

If he comes for his children, then it is war he shall get.

"As said before, his weakness lies more in psychologically and to be honest, Xero isn't exactly all they're in the head." Boomstick said once more.

"As one can expect." Wiz this time, cut in to packed onto what Boomstick said, "Nobody can go through everything Xero has done, hell, nobody can go through the Grand Order Quest alone and expect to come out COMPLETELY sane by the end of it or even sane at all. The fact he was alone with only one person, a third-rate Magus with little to no knowledge of what it takes to be a Magus, let alone what is needed to be done to save the world and where's one failure could result the end of humanity itself, it would be impossible for anyone NOT to go a little crazy or feel stressed out beyond all reason. A powerful Magus he might be but Xero, despite being a hybrid is only human after all and stress is something that can actually kill you if you don't manage it carefully. Admittedly it takes A LOT of stress but seeing what he is doing, it should come as no surprise that he would be stressed beyond belief. The Grand Order is basically a battle royal war across time and Xero has seen the absolutely WORSE humanity has to offer, both from his journey in the Grand Order and his memories of a hellish future. One that is NOT that far off, not only within his lifetime that hellish world will become his world within less than a decade, less than HALF a decade. That's not even including the fact HYDRA is, WAS, running around causing all kinds of trouble and even some of its members actually became double agents for the Cult."

"Much like a soldier would." Rhodney muttered to himself, as his superior nodded in agreement and understanding. Hell, all those who were soldiers or huntsman, or even pro-heroes all understood where Xero was coming from, as they've experienced their own shitty situations and unreal expectations their positions demand.

The body can grow strong, within stand just about anything if given enough time but the mind? The mind is so much easier to break and its wounds, it's scars often heal so much slower.

If it ever heals that is.

"A wound on the psychic can be far more devastating than any mortal wound ever could." Ozpin spoke wisely, having his shared experience of mental trauma.

"And having enemies on both sides, without and within can make it impossible for anyone to truly rest both his body and mind." Ironwood spoke, rubbing his arm as he felt a kindred ship with the boy for a moment. James did not want to point fingers or sound like a racist idiot, but he would be lying if he said, that he did not suspect traitors and turn coats within his military.

If not before, now most certainly after reading the book of NULL. The White Fang were bad enough but what about Chivalric Arms? Where they really, truly the monsters the book pointed them as and if so, how many of their agents were hidden among his own troops? People he trusted and worked for years upon years now? And call him crazy but was it possible Matthew Fields, the CEO of Chivalric Arms was not only a library of stolen semblances, but he somehow incorporated Marrow's semblance as well?

And what of Sol? Was HE a traitor too? Would the man he looked up to as a friend, mentor and advisor actually turn on him and kill him, if James did not comply with his way of doing things?

It was a sad thing to say, but James Ironwood had no idea.

This wasn't even mentioning the fact that Watts was not only alive but working for Salem. Watts was not only brilliant, but he had BUILT most of Atlas's security and he could hack into it at any time he wanted too with little to no effort.

So could Stark but something in Ironwood's gut told him that so long as he didn't actively try to kill his son or daughter/kidnap them, then they leave Atlas alone. Irritating as it was, Ironwood knew the world needed not only the Avengers but Mazoku and his knowledge of the Rotten World as well.

"There's nothing i can do for now. The best i can do, is ensure Fields or Jacques doesn't do something that could drag Atlas into a war that isn't in anyway necessary, other than some vain pride or fearful thinking. Salem would take advantage of that and bring our kingdom down in over a night."

"Another lesson you need to learn students." Nezu, ever the sensible one, saw a chance to give his students much needed knowledge, "As heroes, stress is an occupational hazard of your chosen profession.

"Little wonder why Xero messed up in the head within that regard." Wiz's co-host said sadly, "And that's not even including the trauma of the memories of Avenger Xero losing not only his wife and daughters to betrayal but the fact he had to KILL off his friends one by one after they became mindless flesh bitters with a bad case of the munches. Goddamn, no wonder his Avenger self-went insane!"

"And that Boomstick, is not even including all the heartache, betrayal, death, insanity, the loss of life, dehumanization and the situations that Avenger Xero found himself in that required him, not to be a human but a devil to make the impossible decisions just to survive." Wiz said sadly, finding the story of Avenger Xero a very sad one.

"Not to mention, Xero has actually TRIED to work within the law, leaving anonymous tips and outright GIVING the authorities the evidence, they need to nail the bastards to the wall, they didn't! Either because they were on the pay roll, someone higher up stopped them, a HYDRA agent made the evidence disappear or a mole ratted them out to their friends." Boomstick spoke, speaking of the many times Xero tried to do things the so-called right way, only to reach a dead-end, "He finally stopped, when one of the people he rescued from an international trafficking ring and delivered to the police to keep safe, only to not only up right back in the clutches of the very people they were rescued from. By the time Xero was able to find them again, they were tortured, raped and their bodies left out to rot, as a classic sign of what happens when you defy criminals. Ya knows Wiz, this whole torturing thing is starting to gain some sort of twisted trend, should we be worried?"

"Probably and the death of one particular victim, a mutant that had wolf appendages, one he had grown close to had been brutally killed by the Mexico drug cartel did Xero finally have enough of the authority's incompetence or unwillingness to do what their job, thus he took it upon himself to do what was necessary to end the threat." Wiz said, as Boomstick added.

"Which ends up with him killing the bastards in his own brutal way, hence why he is alignment is chaotic good. He tried to do it the lawful way and when that didn't work, he went about HIS way." Boomstick said, "The fact his Avenger self was used as a tool in the future and when his usefulness was over, they tried to kill him, had all but destroyed whatever trust he might have had in authority. I for one don't want to hear any belly aching from these idiots, old Reeps gave you a chance to do your jobs and you didn't. Let this be a lesson to the kids and all you lazy workers out there, do your job right or be met with a scythe to the face."

Despite the dark joke, everyone found themselves silent on the matter and some more sensitive or rule abided ones like Ruby, Weiss, Mina, Idia, Izuku and others who believed they had the young teen figured out, were given pause on the matter. On the surface, Xero seemed like a kind if not sassy, asshole with power that was once thought to be fictional that could easily be equivalent to a nuke and brains that could easily surpass genius like Albert Einstein and armed with weapons that could only be described as WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction).

Honestly, they were damn lucky Xero was so as adjusted as he was, as he could have been a hell of a lot worse than what they've seen.

Even those who wanted to hate him for their own reasons, found themselves pausing. Those who believed him to be a violent vigilante, who not only ignored the law but caused chaos wherever he went just for the fun of it, like a certain Schnee. But that hat was dwelling due to what was being said, shown and explained why he did it, as Winter found herself unable believe he was in the wrong.

Kinda of hard to argue that he should follow the law, only for the bad guys to use that same law and those swore to uphold it for their own personal gain. What was the point if said law was useless?

It was all those little things that just piled up into one giant thing, making it impossible for the rule abiding Schnee to believe Xero was doing it simply for the sake of chaos but she still found his behavior deplorable.

Winter herself hated Xero on principle simply because he was everything she hated:

Rude, disrespectful to everything with authority simply because he can, unprofessional, unclothed with his constant cursing, obnoxious as all get out and ultimately a threat to everything, she held dear, using a power that should be fictional. A power that was not only in Remnant but much more potent than the Maiden's power, as compared to those Force States of his, it was like sending a kitten to go up against a mega-Goliath. That's not even including all the apparent superweapons he has at his disposal and don't get her started on those Servants of his.

Those people were worse than the White Fang!

But hearing all this, seeing it before her eyes, made Winter question if she was right to hate him.

Despite what some people say (Like Qrow, no, mostly Qrow) Winter was not unreasonable. It was just that the Branwen was unreasonable drunken that reminded her far too much of her mother, that her temper became a hair trigger temper whenever she was remotely around her. Not to mention the fact she was targeted, not just by the Faunus of the White Fang but many people who either wanted to get back at the SDC, her father, the Atlas military or even general Ironwood himself, for one reason or another Winter would be targeted.

Plus, the possibility of Chivalric Arms coming after her or her sister for their family's semblance floated in her mind. After reading the book of Null, it made Winter wondered just how far the weapons manufacture company would go to acquire power and how many 'criminals' she captured over the years, the ones who claimed to be framed by the company, really were framed.

But that was a thought for another time, as ghost's enemies weren't her current problem, the Mazoku was.

It was reasonable to be wary and keep people at a certain distance till she can make sure they weren't going to stick a knife in her back.

Thus, people in power using their power for the wrong reasons and using the law to their advantage, that Winter could believe. She had dealt with her own share of dirty politicians after all. But she had no idea how bad it was and only seeing glimpse of the aftermath of Judgement Day, the horror it would bring easily outmatched the Grimm.

Even if Grimm were creatures of darkness, but how can you kill a shambling corpse that was once your friend? Winter had the military discipline to do so but most of the world.

No.

Killing alone changed a person greatly and in many different ways. Magus or not, hybrid even, Xero was only human after all. One, who had so much put on his shoulders at a young age and with little to no help whatsoever, it was a wonder he was able to function as he did.

Then there was Blake, who had built this image of a monster worse than Adam ever could be and now suddenly forced to see just how human he was, how he was in fact not some emotionless beast but a young boy that had too much thrust upon him far too fast. The worst part?

The worst part was there quite literally no one else there to do it, as he was the only one that could do it.

"And because of the illness he had when he was younger, not only are his bones that much weaker than a normal person, but his lungs are also scared, preventing him from being able to hold his breath for very long." Wiz said, as his rebreather appeared on screen. It was black, with two small, cylinder filters on the side, "These filters not only repurpose the carbon dioxide within a person's own air, but also preventing poison from entering Xero's bloodstream and allow him to stay submerged under water for hours on end."

"Yes, while it is true Xero can inhale most poison and toxics thanks to both his Yoki and mana filtering them out of his body, just because he can do something, doesn't mean you should." Wiz spoke wisely.

"Hey, just because he can breathe in poison without consequences, doesn't mean he should." Boomstick said simply, "Like eating at a Mexico all you can eat buffet." Boomstick grumbled rubbing his stomach, "Oh god, i shouldn't have eaten all those tacos, pretty sure i killed my toilet."

Despite the implications of the joke being gross, it still got a couple of chuckles.

"Now Ya sees here, that's the thing about us smart guys." Tony smirked, feeling pride well up within his chest, despite all the horrible shit his son has been through, he had proven himself a Stark through and through, "We make sure to cover our asses."

Mercury opened his mouth, no doubt to say something mockingly, but one glare from Cinder shut him up. No matter how much she wanted to unleash her Maiden power and end all these people, this was not the time nor place. Besides, seeing all that happened, it would be an empty gesture as it would no doubt get smacked back down in less than a minute.

"Maybe i should add a gas mask to my own costume."

Izuku mildly wondered, seeing as how that would be a very good idea to add such a thing to his uniform. You never know, he might need to save someone from a fire or even drowning. Who knows, it's better to have something and not need it, then need it and not have it.

"Yes, well i pray for your new toilet." Wiz said simply, earning laughs from the audience, "Like Boomstick said, Xero has no real physical weakness, mostly psychological and one of them is, of course, PTSD."

"Namely, Survivor's Guilt." Boomstick said, as an image of Xero walking with Amicia and Hugo down the dirt path to Lawrence farm, "You see before Xero came to this singularity, he took a mini vacation to do something new, cave exploring. Not what i would do to relax but it's not me and hell, am i glad it wasn't me."

"Indeed. Meeting up with a small group of women, wanting to do the same, Xero decide to join them, but the vacation took a dark turn. You see, in a true Mazoku or maybe it's Stark, fashion they found more than just rocks inside the unexplored cavern." The screen changed to show the Crawlers attacking the group of seven, "The creatures they encountered down in the cavers were, as Xero has come to call them, Crawlers. A sub-species of humans that, from his research, have evolved from native Americans who had been lost in the caves and adapted to survive in the darkness. It is very unclear if this theory is correct or not but given where the mountain was located, the painting on the walls and even the skeletal structures of the creatures has led Xero to believe they were once normal humans, evolved into cannibalistic monsters that feast on any type of meat. Animal, human or otherwise."

"That's disgusting." Jiro muttered, covering her mouth, trying to keep herself from puking.

"Now you see, at this point Xero was still basically a kid and because of his status as a 'rare blood' Xero's blood is basically monster cat nip." Wiz said, as a picture of Xero's blood appeared on screen, "Maybe it's because of his Yoma, maybe it's because his clan was alive during the first age of the Magus and even the Age Of the Gods, whatever the reason his blood is monster cat nip. All kinds of monsters, including the Crawlers love this stuff so much, like it was their drug, they pretty much ignore everything else, going right for him."

"Now, you're probably wondering what this has to do anything with this?" Boomstick guessed correctly, as many did wonder just that, "Well, you see here's the thing, when his mini vacation turned into a nightmare, with his new friends getting killed off one by one, he had to make a choice."

"Him or her."

The screen changed again, to show a completely coated in blood from head to toe, Xero and Juno staring at him, as he held a certain necklace in his head. No words passed between them, but his eyes all but screamed 'I know what you did.' Screeching and crackling reached both their ears, hearing the Crawlers getting closer and closer.

Only one thing to do.

Gripping the climbing axe, he found and without hesitation, raised it and-

SLNECH

"AGH!"

Stabbed Juno in her leg with the axe.

"What is he doing?!" Yang screamed, eyes wide at what just happened, as did many.

Giving her a look, without a second thought, Xero left Juno to her fate, as she grunted and torn the axe out of her leg. Thanks to the flare they had, Juno was able to see quite a few Crawlers coming her way, knowing she couldn't run away, readied her axe for one more fight. If she was going down, she was going down fighting.

"Now you see, the reason Xero did this, is because he was under the impression Juno purposely brought her group down there to kill them all." Wiz said, shocking the large audience, "Though afterward, he realized that it was just pure, undauntedly bad luck that Juno chose a unexplored cave that had monsters in it."

"But at the time, old Reeps was beginning to believe Juno was trying to kill them all, for whatever it is that bitches like her kill people for and seeing as he was there, she had to eliminate all witness." Boomstick said, "You know, seven people go in, one comes out looks very suspicious and who is going to believe Juno if she said monsters were running around in the cave? But having an 'accident'? One that claimed the lives of all her friends?" Boomstick chuckled darkly at this, "THAT is more believable, and it happens all the time. No one would question her and all she had to do, was get rid of any witness."

The group fell silent, horrified at what they were hearing.

"At least that what Xero's fried mind and nerves believed at the time." Wiz said, "At the time, it made sense and was plausible. TOO plausible, so when he discovered Beth, with a wound that looked a lot like it came from a climbing axe and said, 'Don't trust Juno' his theory took on some merit and gained traction that Juno was indeed trying to kill them all."

"But it was only after returning to Chaldea, remembering the events did old Reeps realize he made a huge mistake." Boomstick spoke, "Not that it was hard but within that pitch blackness, where's a second of hesitation could cost you, your life, when Juno thought a Crawler was about to attack, she didn't wait, she attacked." The screen changed to show Juno stabbing Beth, much to the woman's shock and horror, "It's easy for people to make mistakes in situations like these, especially when you can't even see your own hands in such darkness and when it was all said and done, she ran away like a little bitch, instead of giving her friend a merciful death. Instead, she left Beth to die a slow, horrible death and ultimately, caused Xero to give her a mercy kill her."

"Mercy killing." Bucky whispered to himself, remembering all the time back in WW2, where's he had to kill people who were beyond saving but didn't die quite yet, "As much as i hate to say it, Zee was right to do that. Crapped spaces, monsters running all around and no back up, there's no way he would have been able to save Beth before she died."

"But couldn't he have just magicked himself away?" Mezo asked, not really judging Xero's actions, just curious, "Why didn't he just use magic, summon a Servant or even a gun of sorts?"

"Or call Chaldea for help?" Izuku asked, aware that it was kind of hypocritical to say, seeing as he ran head long into danger without even thinking to ask for help.

"At the time, Xero was still fairly new to using combat magic and seeing how unstable the cave was, where's just one fire from a gun would cause a collapse of the cave." Wiz spoke, answering two questions before the third, "As for why Xero didn't summon any Servants, well, honestly they wouldn't be able to do much. He was just getting used to summoning new Servants that weren't Jeanne or Artoria, neither one would do good in this kind of situation. An Assassin would have been perfectly suited but in the chaos, Xero honestly forgot he could summon them or even call for help. Young and inexperienced, he was far too busy fleeing for his life and just trying to survive."

Wow, that last one was kind of a lame reason but a reasonable one.

"All the training in the world means nothing if you can't stay calm." Aizawa spoke, "No matter how hard it may seem, you need to stay calm, otherwise you'll make mistakes like Mazoku did." He didn't mean that as an insult, it was just simple fact.

"But how does this tie back to his PTSD?" Toru questioned, as the screen changed back to Xero walking with Amicia and Hugo.

"Which ties back into his survivor's guilt." Wiz said, "You see, whether it was a guilty conscience or if she really was there, Juno's ghost would haunt Xero throughout this entire sigmate."

"Come on, it's just a bit further up the road." Xero said to the two siblings, as they nodded.

"Man, I hope we don't run into anymore rats." Xero thought to himself, worriedly, "We've got lucky so far, after escaping the catacombs if only barely. We haven't seen one yet and managed to sneak past the guards, but our luck won't hold out forever. The sun's about to sit and we have no source of light or anything that could spark a fire. Need to hurry or else, we'll-"

"Die like you let me die."

Xero barely suppressed a growl, as he spotted Juno's ghost. She wore the same outfit he last saw her in, a black tank top, pants and boots with blood leaking down her forehead and around her eyes, with a mocking smile on her face, "Come on, you know that's what we're both thinking. You killed me, just to save your own ass and you'll probably kill a lot more people before this is over. The question is, will you break your word to Lady De Rune and leave her kids to die or will you die for them? Leaving poor Gudako all alone to deal with the mess."

"Shut. Up." Xero growled under his breath, trying to ignore the ghost in front of him. Or was it a ghost? Time and time, Xero wondered if this was actually Juno's ghost attached to him or if it was nothing more than a guilty conscience.

"Okay, so am i going to have to call ghostbusters or something?" Tony questioned, earning an elbow from Steve, much to the Man of Iron's annoyance, "Ow, what the hell was that for?"

"PTSD is not a joke Stark."

Oh, he used 'Stark' and not 'Tony'. Now he knew he had stepped on a landmine and was going to pay for it. Seeing the glare from his beloved wife, daughter, Live Bait, his science buddy, the pro-heroes and several military men and women, he knew he screwed up.

"Alright, alright." Tony held his hands up, "Bad joke, I got it."

"More than a bad joke Tony." Banner said, in a slightly leching tone, "Many who have PTSD either get hurt or worse, die because of it. Survivors guilt is one of the most common among soldiers and seeing what Zee's been through, i can certainly see him having that type. But still, to actually see ghosts, is-"

"Not as bad as you think." Gudako said, much to Bruce's shock, only for it to clear up in understanding, as she said, "We're Magus Bruce, as in well deal with magic. When magic is involved, anything is possible, even having a soul becoming attached to the last person that soul saw alive."

"Wouldn't that be something like soul magic or the soul itself being unable to move onto the afterlife, until it completes a certain task that they could not complete in life?" Mina asked, getting eyes to turn towards the pink skinned girl, causing her to blush, "What? I like reading ghosts' stories."

"To this day, it is unclear if this really, truly was Juno's ghost or if it was nothing more than Xero's mind playing tricks on him." Wiz said, sort of answering Mina's question, "Especially, since the first half of his journey had Juno mocking and insulting him with the other half, egging him on and actively trying to help him to not only survive but help keep Amicia and Hugo alive."

"Namely by spurring him on and pushing him not to die." Boomstick said, as the screen changed to show Xero, having unstacked himself from the wooden cross, as he crawled across the wet, muddy ground with Juno's ghost hovering over him.

"COME ON!" Juno yelled, remarkable a lot more cleaned up and less bloodied, "DON'T YOU DARE DIE HERE BOY! YOU HAVEN'T COME THIS FAR, SURVIVE THIS LONG JUST TO DIE HERE IN THE MUD! SO GET OFF YOUR SORRY ASS AND MOVE IT!"

"Heh." Muirko chuckled, "I like this woman, she's got spunk."

"Wait, so he kills her and she's, helping him?" Sero asked, just making sure he got it right and when he did, he said, "But, but that makes no sense!"

"I know and that's why we're not sure if it really was Juno's ghost or not." Gudako said simply, "Hell, not even Oni-chan is sure and clearly, Wiz and Boomstick aren't sure either. Only thing we're certain of, is that Juno's ghost 'moved on' after Oni-chan was able to face the fact he left an innocent woman to die but understood he had no choice. He HAD to survive and even if he wasn't there, Juno was never going to get out of the cave alive. Merlin, for all her pranks and obnoxious attitude, told us that if not Oni-chan, then Sarah would have found Beth, made her death quick and been in the exact same position Oni-chan was. Only Sarah would have gotten out, then dragged back in by Juno's father, the sheriff and everyone would have died. So long story short, all Oni-chan did was sped up the process and prevented many more deaths."

"If i may, Lady Stark?" Nezu spoke up, as the redhead nodded for him to speak, "Magic is capable of incredible things and to me, it sounds like Juno's ghost was unable to move onto the afterlife, until she made peace with Lord Mazoku and Lord Mazoku himself made peace with what he had done."

"It's possible." Olga nodded in agreement with Nezu's assessment, "But there is simply no way to know for certain, as his magic might have reacted completely on its own, grabbing Juno's soul, forcing master to face what he has done. Not as a means to mentally torture him but to help him make peace with what he had done to survive and help him grow."

"Even if that didn't stop master from going down an even darker path sometime later, till his Avenger self-woke him up to what kind of spiral he was heading down."

To this day, Olga believed his Avenger self never meant to kill his present self but to give him the tools to stop the dark future. Despite what he had said, Avenger Xero could have killed his present self at ANY time. The fact he didn't, told her everything.

He was never going to kill her master, just force him into a corner to help him unlock his true power.

"Coach Sal, is that you? When did you get a sex change and become hot?" Boomstick said/joked.

That earned some laughs from the audience, despite the heavy weight in the room.

"Yes, well in any event, after that, Xero would encounter and do many things that would make him question all the choices he's made." Wiz said, "Keep in mind, that Xero was basically a kid when he first joined. Between trying to resurrect the world from being burned, battling monsters of all kinds, God level beings and experiencing death in several different, very painful ways the stress of it all made Xero's mind fracture and ultimately created a spilt personality to help him deal with it all."

"The fact that one can actually draw statistics of survival rate, while being teamed up with old Reeps isn't good." Boomstick said, "No, seriously, the Scouts have a 60% chance of death due to exploring new arena's, fighting monsters of myth and all kinds of horrible things, their chances of survival go down even further. As the survival rate shows a person has a whopping 95% chance of DEATH being on Xero's team. No really, this is not a joke, the survival rate is that low, due to the various trouble and insanity that follows him around like a duckling. Its why he doesn't do team up often, it's not because he's arrogant but because he's afraid, that those that follow him WILL die because of him. Not that i can blame him, as you've got literally statistics stating that you have a 95% chance of death with only 5% chance of survival."

"Though on the flip side, that small 5% become much better people and fighters for it." Wiz said thoughtfully, "I mean, just look at Gudako. She's the only human that has survived the Grand Order, fighting alongside him and despite being a first-generation, third-rate Magus, she has become one of the strongest Magus in the world."

"It's true." The redhead nodded, "I can hold my own in a fight pretty well and just look at squad Levi." Gudako pointed towards the mention squad, "After just a couple of missions with Oni-chan, they've became the best squad SHEILD has to offer."

"Not all of us." Sasha said sadly, remembering all those they lost down in the ruins. Personally, she didn't blame Xero for what happened down there, it was a simple case of at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Nothing more, nothing less.

"A real trial by fire huh?" Endeavor spoke, unintentionally making a pun but understood it. Sink or swim, you either learn or you die. Those that survived often came out all the stronger for it, even if it was cruel to do so.

No pain, no gain.

"So yeah, Xero without a doubt has survivor's guilt and other symptoms of PTSD." Wiz said, "Including trouble sleeping, always on guard, being in crowded places, self-destructive behavior in the form of him being very reckless at times and being very, very paranoid of new people."

"Though to be fair, with that new massive bounty on his head and him fucking with very powerful people, it would be downright foolish of old Reeps NOT being wary or on guard around new people." Boomstick said, "Some people are either very brave, foolish or worst of all, very desperate for money and seeing this cash cow standing just a couple of feet in front of you, makes some very desperate people want to test their luck. The fact it could quite literally be ANYONE makes it all the worse and nail biting for some people. Like seriously, it could be a bounty hunter, a veteran criminal, soldiers of fortune or the bloody damn mail man for all we know. You see Wiz, this is why i keep an exploding mailbox. It's there when I need to shake off murdering mail men or if it just wants to blow up my taxes."

"Is it really that bad?" Sero asked Gudako, as the redhead simply said.

"50 million dollars tape arms, you tell me."

50 million dollars was a lot of money and all you needed to do was kill a teenager, so...

The tape quirked teen stayed quiet, yeah that was a lot of money, and many would kill to get that much.

"And seeing as how Avenger Xero was betrayed by the those in power after the Dead War ended, with the bastards setting his wife and daughters to be killed, has led Xero to distrust any form of government." Wiz said, "That and the fact many government officials have done some very shady things, partial thanks to HYDRA's twisted plans, has left Xero with competent and hate for those with authority. While corruption in the government isn't too uncommon, the fact he is a Magus and seen just about every single evil act any government has performed throughout history, it's no wonder why he is Recalcitrant."

"For those who don't know, recalcitrant means having an obstinately uncooperative attitude toward authority or discipline." Boomstick said, "While old Reeps has all the discipline in the world, he general doesn't like being told what to do. Having been a leader himself for several years within Chaldea and successfully i might add, with the fact many unwillingly to believe him when it comes to certain topics or worse, being forced to do things that goes against his morals, he would more than likely pull a Doom Slayer and beat the one who ordered it, to death. What would get that kind of reaction, would be firing upon unarmed civilians and personally, to me that's just being a decent guy and a soldier, not a sheep."

"No matter how one would word it, a soldier's duty first and foremost is to PROTECT." Wiz said, "This contributes to one of the many reasons why Xero doesn't like authority, some of those four-star bigwigs tend to use their power for more than the good of the country and even if they do use that power to help said country, the way they go about it would see them booted out of their seat faster than you could say 'Servant'."

"So, in a typically corrupt asshat in power play, they make sure there are no witness to say otherwise." Boomstick said with a grumble, "I still what happened to Doom Guy and why he was sent to that doomed moon is complete bullshit for being a decent guy."

"Isn't that the truth." Logan grumbled, "Been a soldier enough times to know there's nothing but truth there."

"Sadly, corruption in the seats of power has always been a problem, no matter what era it is." Ozpin sighed, "Or world it seems." It seemed not matter where he went, corruption would always be present in any type of civilization.

"In more ways than one." Banner none too subtle looked Ross's way, as the general said nothing, knowing the other man was being protected by SHEILD, the Stark and Mazoku political clout. But seeing as this was a time when everyone needed to work together, both Banner and Ross said nothing, as to prevent infighting that was most certainly not needed.

Too many things were riding on this, and it needed to be done perfectly.

"Plus, given how powerful Xero is and all the connections he has, having him in your corner is a good idea." Wiz said, "The kind of connections that can very much be abused easily, if he isn't careful about who he trusts and makes him a valuable ally to anyone, whom he allies with. Seeing as his actions not only stops criminals but allows him to make very powerful, very grateful friends, strategically speaking, having Xero as an ally is a very smart choice to make."

It was.

Tony, before he had his company stop making weapons, had dealt with plenty of kiss ass's and others who wanted to be 'friends' with him, simply for what he could do for them and his connections. Which is why general, the only friends he truly has, before the Avengers, were Pepper and Rhodey.

Stane was too once before, but after his betrayal and attempted killing of Tony, he was permanently removed from the Christmas card list.

"But PTSD symptoms aren't the only results of the hell he had to experience." Boomstick said, as it showed Xero's first Reaper mask, "As said before, old Reeps was stressed the ever living fuck out and who wouldn't be? Just one misstep and it's game over for not just him but everyone and with the increasing pressure, what was needed to be done to save the world, had caused Xero's mind to split in a sense."

"When he says split, Boomstick means Xero's mind created a split personality." Wiz said, "According to doctors, this disorders most often form in children subjected to long-term physical, sexual or emotional abuse or, less often, a home environment that's frightening or highly unpredictable. The stress of war or natural disasters also can bring on dissociative disorders. Personal identity is still forming during childhood. Well, we can easily notch this down as a result as the stress of war and unpredictable of the fight against the Demon God Pillars. An incident when during the end of the fifth Singularity. I won't go into detail but long story short: Xero was unable to keep his promise and as a result, an entire town he swore to keep safe died because he showed mercy to someone he shouldn't have and because the ones who did it, wanted to prove he was a monster, simply because he was a Magus."

"Yeah, as history has told us, those who reveal themselves as Magus, often end up dead and everyone around them dies too." Boomstick said, "So these assholes, the 'witch hunters' wanted so badly to prove old Reeps was a monster because he had magic and we're more than willingly to frame him by destroying a town or two." Then Boomstick chuckled darkly, "They wanted a monster? Well, they got one."

The screen changed, to show Xero slaughtering a group knights, without mercy wearing his mask.

"The stress of the war, trying to keep himself and Gudako alive, the many near-death fights had done a number on his mental health." Wiz said, "Then seeing people who had done nothing wrong other than being nice to him, dying in droves in the most brutalizes way possible and the worst part, is because he had tried to show mercy had caused something in his mind to snap." The screen changed again, to show a tear-stained cheeked Xero, covered in blood, with his Yoki flaring, as his body changed in response to his loss and rage, as he grabbed the full-face mask with one hand before he slid it over his face, "This event gave birth to the ruthless, merciless alter ego of Xero's, the Grimm Reaper."

"The title Grimm Reaper is more than just a code name for him and a way to conceal his identity." Boomstick said, "It is, WAS, the name of his spilt personality that would be able to bear all the stress, hate and do what was needed to save the world from destruction. It became a part of Xero and near the end of the Grand Order, Xero and his Grimm Reality personality merged with one another, fully becoming one, allowing Xero to switch to his 'Reaper' personality, without the need for his mask to become that person the world needed to save it. It's not clear why but putting on this mask was the only way for Xero to basically become another person, like he was flipping a switch in his brain to change from one person to another. I suppose one can think of it, as Xero basically giving his other self, the Grimm Reaper, the steering wheel of their shared body."

"To put things more simply, think of it like how Xero or Gudako uses their Class Cards." Wiz said, "The masters merge with the Servants bodies, as the Servant gives up control of their power to their master. Keep in mind, Xero was still a kid when this happened, so it should come as no surprise that his mind spilt. Hell, you could even say that it was Xero's magic that created the 'Reaper' in him to help its host deal with the stress and when Xero could now handle it, the two sides merged together to create one new being in both body and mind. So, it all worked out for him."

"Interesting." Nezu hummed to himself, taking a quick sip of his tea, deep in thought. Stress was part of the job as a pro-hero but to have so much of it, that it would create a spilt personality was something he hadn't heard of.

"If he has one, does that mean-"

"No, i did not nor do i have a spilt personality." Gudako said to Ren, already guessing the quiet boy would ask, "Oni-chan was the leader of Chaldea at the time, taking on most of the terrible shit by himself, trying to shield me from it. Couse i didn't realize it at the time, but as i grew older in mind at least, i was able to help relieve some of the pressure off of him but as you can see, it wasn't enough. Life likes to throw all kinds of monkey wrenches into our plans and make them all moot point."

"You mean getting dragged into other worlds and messes?" Tony guessed rightfully, as Gudako nodded.

"Yeah, and not the ones where it's all rainbows and sunshine, i assure you. You think our world is bad? I would laugh at that notion but with the shit we've seen, i simply can't find any humor in it. Yes, there were good realties, ones with its own slice of heaven but a lot of them, the ones we we're thrown into has made me very apprentice of the world we live in, regardless of its problems." And there were a lot of problems with their world but Gudako, her Oni-chan and the rest of their friends were fighting to make it a better place.

"But you know what really broke Xero?" Wiz asked, "What not only destroyed his ability to trust others but shook the confidence in himself? It wasn't the stress of the war, nor what he had to do in order to win it. No sir, what really destroyed Xero inside was before the final battle with Solomon in his Time Temple, Xero and Gudako discovered that one of their closest friends, one of their closest allies, someone they thought they could always count on. Dr. Romani Archaman, one of the few remaining humans in Chaldea and one of Xero's confidants not only lied about who he was, but as fate would have it, the doctor was actually the human form of Solomon himself. Yep, you heard that right, one of their closest allies, was in reality, their worst enemy."

"If that's not a ball kicker with spiked, metal boots then i don't know what is." Boomstick said, wincing at it.

Oh yeah, that was a huge kick in the balls alright. Many winced, as they thought on what it would be like to have the one, they trusted the most, turn out to not only betray them but were their worst enemy all along. Some already knew what that was like.

Tony, Natasha, Ozpin, Roman, James, Blake, Logan, Laura, Betty, Olga, Gudako and hell, even Cinder and Neo.

They all experienced the same type of betrayal, Olga and Gudako from Solomon himself. Cinder, the man who she trusted to help her escape from under the enslavement of her stepmother, Rhodes only for him to try to bind her to similar chains once all was said and done. Neo's betrayal not only cost her, her innocence but her voice as well. Ironwood, well there is a reason why half of his body is cybernetic after all and the reason why he is so wary of people. The same with Blake, who believed in a great cause, only to see it fall to darkness, blood and madness. The same can go for Roman, as he was betrayed by the Vale council during the Fall of Mountain Glenn. They were ordered to help the people escape to the tunnels, only to have it all collapse down on their heads, making it clear to Roman it wasn't an evacuation.

It was an extermination, a population culling.

As for Tony, he was betrayed by someone he thought of as family not once but TWINCE. The first time, Stane had hired the Ten Rings to kill him and the second, was when he ripped the Arc Reactor out of his chest, leaving him to die. He wouldn't lie, Tony was thankful for Stane's arrogance in leaving him to die alone but if it wasn't for D-E, he would most certainly be dead.

Ozpin himself had been betrayed on many levels. Having lived for more than thousands of years, it was only natural. It wasn't just his allies in the fight against Salem, her inner circle and her Grimm. He has been betrayed by friends, family, lovers and yes, even his own children. Not by blood but by those he considered his children, having failed to control their fear, greed or ambition. It was sadly, an occupational hazard of his profession and one that Ozpin had come to deal with.

Best he could anyway.

Logan, Laura, Betty and Natasha were betrayed by those, whom they served. Well, Logan and Betty were, as Natasha and Laura were basically raised as living weapons to be used and thrown away at a moment's notice. Then again, Logan and Betty had been pursued by those who wanted to turn them into livings weapons as well, only to fail.

Miserably.

So yeah, they can understand Xero's reasoning not to trust anyone and those that had believe Xero was being childish about not trusting anyone, found themselves flinching. It was hard to argue that, when he and Gudako had, once again, proven they had damn good reason to act the way they do.

"And if that wasn't enough, old Reeps caught the attention of the oldest troll this world has ever known." A picture of Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg appeared, only for his face to be replaced with the grinning troll face, much to amusement of the audience, "This asshole is not only a powerful vampire that can traverse the Multiverse at will, but he has also decided to name Xero his new form of Entertaiment. Now, anyone with two brain cells to rub together will realize that this is not a good thing, as because of this asshole, Xero ended up, not only in the Resident Evil universe but he landed in one of the dirtiest, ugliest, downright NASTIEST houses in history: The BARKER house."

"What house?" Yang asked, as Spider-Man shook his head.

"No idea and Resident Evil 7? I've only heard of Resident Evil 4; it goes to 7 installments?"

"Looking like it'll be nine actually." Gudako said, knowing peter was a fan of survival horror games, as were Clint and Remy, "Though five and six were more action packed, seven and eight are scarier, going back to its roots. Like it was in Resident Evil 2 and 3."

"Resident Evil?" Sero looked at his friends, earning head shakes of no idea.

"Yes, THAT Baker house." Wiz said, as footage of Resident Evil 7 played, showing the house in its worst conditions, "The worst parts of this house? It's decaying structure," Showing wood and wall paint peeling, "the nasty mold covering everything, creating mold monsters" the mold and its monsters were shown as Xero used his supernatural strength to kill them all, "and worst of all, the main enemy of the game: The Baker Family."

The screen changed to show Xero slowly creeping his way down the hall, only for the weak wall that led towards the kitchen to explode, revealing a grinning Jack Baker with a shovel in hand as he busted through the wall, "HEY! WHERE YOU GOING BOY?! YOU AREN'T THINKING YOU CAN LEAVE ARE YA?! 'SHE' WANTS A NEW DADDY AND SHE'S VERY INTEREST IN YOU, SO YOUR THE NEW DADDY BOY, CONGROTS!"

"Ah!"

Many jumped at the oldest Barker's sudden appearance, certainly feeling the effects of the scary game. Whatever they were expecting, it most certainly wasn't that.

"Son of a bitch!" Bakugo yelled, jumping at the sudden jump scare reveal of the old man, "Who the hell does that?!"

"This guy apparently." His redhead friend breathed out, feeling terror wash over him at the sudden appearance, "Not manly at all bros."

"Son of a..." Yang breathed out, feeling her heart hammer in her chest, "That guy just came out of the wall like it was a horror movie."

"No kidding." Ruby shivered, pulling her cloak to hide in it, in response to Jack's sudden appearance.

"Now, you're probably wondering why Zelretch did this." Boomstick said, rightfully knowing that was indeed on everyone's mind. Why would an immortal vampire plop a random Magus in a house of horrors in a fictional universe filled with monsters, "Well, you see Zelretch wanted to 'help'" Boomstick made air quotes at that, "old Reeps get some real-world experience fighting monsters that won't die no matter how many times or different ways you kill them, not even a headshot works. Never mind the fact he had the memories/experiences of his Avenger self's war against the undead. Memories are good and all, but real-life experience is wants separates the men from the boys. The fact our main man, Ethan, would have died and become a mold man if he came to this house, all because his bitch of a wife decide it was okay to play God, determined to repeat Umbrella's stupidity. So, the troll decides to drop old Reeps in one year before cannon, not only saving Ethan but many other unfortunate souls that would have made the terrible mistake of going to the Baker house. No matter how lazy and asshole he might be, Zelretch is on humanity's side, with very loose morals but on our side nevertheless, as he decides to send in Xero to clean up the Connection's, the people who caused this to happen, mess. Plus, let's be honest Wiz, the Dead War looks like Resident Evil meets Silent Hill, two unholy forces coming together to create all kinds of new deadly monsters to hunt and kill humans."

"With all the deadly monsters and magic involved, I can agree to that." Wiz nodded in agreement with his co-host, "That and that asshole decide that Xero would have to finish what he, IE Zelretch, started and finish it in the village. The main location for Resident Evil Village or more to the point, RE Village."

"Let me guess," Tony groaned, looking at Gudako, "...you went you to Silent Hill, didn't you?"

"..."

Silence said everything, as many of Earth's people actually looked at Gudako with shock. She survived that hellhole?!

"Silent Hill?" Neptune questioned, not knowing what they were talking about, as Jessica spoke simply.

"A place you never, ever want to see or experience in any shape or form. Huntsman or not, if you go there, you will more than likely die a slow, painful death."

"Not to mention, it drives home one simple point." Boomstick grew serious as he spoke, "Despite all these undead monsters, magical beings and otherworldly creatures coming to kill him, Xero has had to contend with the deadliest being of them all, the one constant factor that has been present in each event to set it into monition of the events he has to deal with."

The screen changed back, to show a memory of Avenger Xero's life, where's he was with the St. Johns boy facing the crazy woman:

"It's not the dead you have to worry about, it's the living you got to be worried about."

"Isn't that the truth." Gudako said, mostly to herself, "At least the dead don't make false promises, or backstab you or even betray you." She gave a dull look to everyone present, "Do I really need to go into detail to explain why my Oni-chan doesn't trust many of you or do i need to shove the truth down your throats and give you over hundreds of pieces of evidence to show why humans cannot be trusted. Bad and dangerous as some of these monsters be, a lot of them were man made, a byproduct of their actions or a direct result of human ignorance."

"Those who believe mutants and Magus are a threat to humanity are nothing but short-sighted fools." Olga spoke, "While yes, certain mutants and Magus have powers so dangerous, it could destroy the world but how many times has someone been turned into a world destroying monster, simply because normal humans wanted to use them as weapons, experimented on them or tried to kill them for fear of what they do not understand. Oh, before you try to say otherwise, why don't you name the number of insane, evil NORMAL humans' history has recorded throughout the ages that have tried to take over the world or killed billions in doing so." No one answered, as Olga pushed on, "This might be hard for fools to understand but let me try to put it in a way even a fool can understand. People fear what they do not understand and many of them, were normal, powerless humans that allowed their fear to take control of them, committing heinous actions that would earn them a one-way ticket to the death plenty without distinction. I hate to sound like a broken record player, but a perfect example is the Salem Witch Trails. Not only was it completely unnecessary, but it mostly killed innocent people, who fearful idiots thought it was okay to kill in various, painful, disgusting ways just on the hearsay of morons who can't control themselves."

Well, when you put it like that, little wonder why Xero doesn't trust anyone at all. Time and time again they've been given evidence that Xero was right not to trust anyone and now being layer out, once more and given very good evidence, no one had anything to say otherwise. The oldest in the room, those who had firsthand experience in dealing with the darkest side of humanity found themselves nodding their heads in agreement with Olga's words. It was all very much true, and the young heroes of Earth 727 found themselves wondering just what happened to Gudako and Xero to make them so cynical.

They didn't have much time to wonder, as Boomstick spoke once more.

"Though despite having regeneration, it is limited, as stated before." Boomstick said, "The one thing defensive types have over offensive types, is that they can regrow lost limbs. Offensive types can only reattach lost limbs, not grow them back. Too bad he's not a starfish or a lizard."

"Well, most can't but Xero can." Wiz said, as the screen changed to show Xero in his Lighting Force State, "As stated before too, is that his Lighting Force State can in fact not only speed up his regeneration, but it can also force his Yoki to regrow his limbs."

"Now, that's good but like everything else, it has its ups and downs." Boomstick said, "Namely, while not getting knocked out by the bad guys when they use knock out gas, it also means certain medics like Ibuprofen and other pain killers don't work on him either. Seeing as he gets constant headaches as a result, like he had Nero's Imperial Privilege, means he has to have specialized potions made to help him deal with them. Damn good thing he can't get sick either, otherwise, i would hate to be him during Flu season."

"No kidding." Peter Parker may have spider powers, but he can still get sick and certain specifically made items, that he didn't even know made spiders sick, were hell on him if he accidently used them.

"That and despite having knowledge of his future techniques, how to do it, there are some spells he has yet to replicate." Wiz said, as an image of a massive titan made of ice appeared, "Like his Ice Titan Form, one created specially to combat the sixth Dark Purveyor and one of the most dangerous ones, the zombie of zombies: KILLABILLY!"

The screen changed, to show Avenger Xero, in his Ice Titan Form, locked in a fist fight with the equally massive zombie. Killabilly is a gigantic zombie. His look is heavily influenced by that of Elvis Presley, with his pompadour-like hairstyle, archaic outfit and irregular morbid obesity. Killabilly has black hair that is elongated into a long curl. His body is covered in excessive body hair, prominently around his arms, chest and around his face. He is extremely obese, with several amounts of fat sagging on his stomach. He also shows some signs of significant aging, as there a few noticeable wrinkles around his face. He wears golden chains around his neck, two that happen to have pendulums with a skull logo and a diamond-like crystal with a few gold rings around his wrists. Blood is also apparent around his body, presumably coming from the corpses that composed him. His outfit is a white suit with golden trimming. The v-neck of the outfit is extended to expose his chest, creating a more "U" shaped hole. He also wears a large collar with black tap shoes and a cape.

"HOLY SHIT, THAT THING'S HUGE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A FAT ELVISE!" Connie yelled, eyes wide, as did everyone else. And to be fair, he did. Killabilly did indeed look like a fat Elvis Presley.

"The fuck is that thing?!" Elm yelled, eyes wide at seeing something much bigger than herself.

"And you know what the worst part about fighting this huge, fat Elvis's fan?" Boomstick asked with a snicker, "Not only does this fat fuck have the strength to match his size, with Remote Teleportation: Killabilly is capable of spawning cars (primarily Cadillacs) aimed towards his enemies from his hands and the combing of his hair. Plus, he has an advanced Physical Regeneration: Killabilly is capable of regenerating parts of his body, primarily seen is his fingers and his face. That's not even the worst part, as through the same spell used to create the Hell Towers, Killabilly can only be hurt through kinetic energy aka, getting physical hit by something. Any and all magically attacks are negated aka old Reep's more dangerous spells."

"That doesn't sound so bad." Reiner said, feeling hope fill his heart that they could hurt this thing. Sure it would be a pain in the ass but with careful planning, with much more advanced weapons and many more people involved, they could make it work. Only to have that hope dashed just as quickly.

"But that's not all unfortunately." Wiz said, "Thanks to his advanced regeneration things like bullets, bombs and any kind of nuke weapon are useless against Killabilly, as he would instantly heal from them. His size alone makes it all but impossible for him to be hurt long enough to reveal his one true weakness, the source of his undead life." An image of the giant's undead, beating, glowing heart was shown, "The Heart. Again, due to his size, any conventional weapon simply wouldn't be enough to kill the fat giant, as he would heal instantly and seeing as his magic was useless against him, Xero knew he had to get up close and personally to kill him. The Ice Giant, while the creation might BE magic creation, it's physically power is all Xero, allowing him to hurt Killabilly, fight him and ultimate finish him off."

The screen changed again, to show a bloody, purple ice giant reaching into his fellow giant's chest and ripping it's heart out and crushing it.

"Talk about being a heart breaker." Boomstick joked with a smirk.

"But keep in mind, this transformation took A LOT out of Xero." Wiz said, "At best, he could keep up this form for about five minutes, six if he pushed it and when the battle was finished, Xero was on death's door. This is what allowed his so-called allies in the future to betray him and tried to kill him, only to fail, as we have all seen."

"Kicking a guy while he was done, sounds about right." Boomstick said frowning as he did so.

"That does make sense." Erwin said, a look of understanding in his eyes, "Powerful as he is, such an ability would surely cost a lot of mana to use, let alone keep up in such conditions. The drawback of using such a power would be deadly if it was used recklessly."

"And it would be the perfect chance to backstab someone, when they're at their weakest." Endeavor spoke, a scowl forming on his face, "Nothing short of a cowardly act, especially when that person sacrificed so much to save them."

"Betrayal at its finest." All Might said in agreement with his friend/rival, "While it might be a valid strategy, it's nothing short of pure evil to betray one, who has given so much to protect the world and lost so much in the process."

"Maybe but that's what fear does." Sam said wisely, "It twists and turns the mind so much, it causes a person to turn on their closest allies. In a war, getting two groups to fight each other, then swooping in to finish both groups off to ensure none in your groups dies, is a good plan. But it can also be used to kill off your most powerful allies and seeing as it's right after the battle is over, you can pin the blame on the enemy or claim they died of their wounds, as no one would be around to say otherwise."

"Much like the Grimm would." Port said, fiddling with his mustache, "Send in the weaker ones to wear down the enemy and then finish them off, when both sides are weakened."

"As a result, these experiences have helped Xero become more empathic, it has also hardened his heart." Wiz said, "Making Xero become much more ruthless and downright merciless to his enemies."

"Given who he's made enemies out of, I'd say you have to be pretty ruthless." Boomstick cut in, "As these assholes are trying to bring about the end of the world, i say, they get what's coming to them. Even if that means he usually tears them apart like he was Kartos or the Doom Slayer, ripping and Tearing all the way."

"Well to be fair, Xero always kills his enemies by either blowing their heads off, cutting them off, dismembering them or stabbing their hearts." Wiz said, "Not really out of a sense of ruthlessness but more of a practical sense. In the event he can't stop the Dead War or if the Cult tries to bring them back to be used as pawns, they won't be able to do so, since they have no way to regenerate a body so completely destroyed. Namely by destroying the head, no head, no coming back for them."

"Well, that actually does makes sense." Spider-Man spoke, "Hard to bring something back if it's got no head."

"The head i get but why the heart?" Eren asked the young spider, who shrugged in response.

"If i had to guess, probably the difference between Husks and real Zombies. Different type of zombies, different type of rules."

"But don't most zombies die if you shoot them in the head?" Kirishima asked, as the tailed teen of class 1A spoke.

"Typically, yeah but that's only in video games, movies and comic books." Ojiro paused for a moment before adding, "Probably not a good source of information though."

"Maybe, but at the moment it's all we got to go off on." Sasha said, "Well, that and boss's knowledge from the Dead War, so if he says that headshots kill them, it kills them. Though i'm pretty sure that anything."

"Yeah, well most things don't keep coming at you, even if you fill them full of holes." Ymir snarked lightly, "Unless you want to be our guinea pig, Sasha."

"No thanks, I'm good."

"Yeah, making sure the dead stay dead is a good idea." Boomstick said, "You never know what could come back and how deadly they would come back as. If Resident Evil has taught us anything, it's that when something comes back, it comes back bigger and Badder than before they're death or second death. But zombies, crazed cultist, criminals, undead monsters, immortal vampires, powerful Servants, arrogant alien gods, interdimensional creatures and blood diseases aren't the only thing old Reeps has to deal with. over the years"

"Indeed, as Lilith's actions in her very long life have caused more trouble for her son in more ways than just in the form of Junko and Freida." Wiz said, "Cause you see, Xero has a crazy aunt."

"He has a what?" Tony quickly asked, feeling no small amount of frustration build up within him, despite his best attempts to stamp it down. His wife put a hand on his shoulder to calm him down, as the scene changed to show Xero and a red headed woman fighting one another.

"What?"

Slowly Ameyuri Ringo, blood sister of Lilith Mazoku brought a hand to her cheek, sliver eyes widening as she saw blood...her blood. How, how long had it been since ANYONE has been able to make her bleed?

"This is MY BLOOD!"

The redhead's heart starting racing, as her blood pumped faster in her veins and her magic started going wild around her, as her pupils dilated and shrank in, pleasure?

"Oh, that doesn't look good." Reiner winced at the sight of the woman, looking to be on the verge of a panic attack. But if she was, why was she smiling and looking like she was suddenly high as a kite?

"This is really not good." Neena looked equally worried, recognizing the look of someone who has found something new, something interesting, something fun to play with and the desire to have that object of interest quickly rising as her glazed over expression told the sharpshooter that this would not end well for her boss and friend.

"You cut me. Do...do you have ANY idea how long it's been since someone has been able to CUT. ME?!" Ameyrui asked, a crazed, bloodthirsty grin appearing on her face, her unique teeth giving her the look of a hungry shark with its eyes on a new tasty prey, as her eyes locking on Xero, as he looked back at her, eyes straying towards her twin Lighting Kiba blades, particular oozing with power, as they sparked with dark blue Lighting, sparking all around her "You can keep going right? You have more power to unveil right? You can still dance, can't you?!"

"Jesus, she's crazy." Eddie said with wide eyes, at seeing the redhead looking more and more like a deranged killer.

"Worse Eddie, she's not crazy, that's bloodlust if i had ever seen it." Venom spoke from within his partner, feeling fear of the redhead on screen.

"Is she going to be a problem for us in the future?" Erwin asked Gudako, who made a "so-so" gesture.

"Eh, well it's hard to explain." The redhead paused for a second, gathering her thoughts before speaking, "She won't be a problem for SHEILD or the Avengers as a whole and while she wants to fight Oni-chan to the death, it's not out of some malicious intent or even evil, she just LOVES to fight. For her, fighting strong opponents is what she lives for and the stronger they are, the more she wants to fight. She is much stronger than me, that is certain and the only person who can fight her on equal footing is Oni-chan, which is why she will goad him into fighting. Being blunt, Ringo is a battle manic and loves to fight. To Ameryuri, she fights for neither good nor evil, she fights for the sake of fighting and giving the fact she is a blood sister to Mama Lilith means she won't age like normal humans. Meaning, the only way Ameryuri can die or rather, how she wants to die, is to die in a battle she can enjoy. She sees Oni-chan as her greatest challenge and wants to fight him at his full power, a fight to the death."

"So, she loves fighting and wants to fight Xero to the death?" Yang summarized it all, clearly still confused, "How does that make any sense? I like fighting as much as the next girl, so why to the death? Wouldn't just sparing do?"

"Because, to fight to the death means putting EVERYTHING on the line." Gudako explained, "Everything, all your skills, knowledge, your very being into fighting someone else, knowing that one little mistake could spell the end for you. You may like fighting Yang, but you have no real-world experience, you don't know what it's like to fight when the pressure is high and even the tiniest detail can mean life or death. Oni-chan and i have been put in constant life and death battles, allowing us to grow stronger as a result. To put it simply, you've been sheltered all your life and don't know what it's like to fight, to TRULY fight, not that it's an insult, it's just fact." The redhead finished at seeing Yang's annoyed look, as the blonde huffed but said nothing.

What could she say? Gudako was right, she never once had to really, truly put her life on the line in an actually fight. One where the victor is the one that walks away alive.

"So, she's basically another Esdeath?" Tony questioned, as Olga answered that one.

"Basically, yes with even less morals and her magical origin is Lighting, thus making her a perfect counter for master's Lighting Force State." Great, so not only is she just as skilled in terms of fighting but had the perfect counter to his Lighting.

"No, she's better at using Lighting." Seeing the alarmed and shocked looks she was getting, Gudako spoke, "To put it simply, she's had centuries to master her Lighting and seeing as she uses only Lighting, her mastery and control over it is far greater than Oni-chan's, simply because he is so versatile, he is spread thin. What's that old saying, don't fear the man who has mastered a thousand techniques but fear the one who has master just one? Well, this is what it means, Ringo is so powerful and skilled in her Lighting she has surpassed Oni-chan in his own Lighting, simply because he hasn't had the time to really, truly go into depth to see what his Lighting can do."

"But wouldn't his future self-have a chance to master it?" Mina asked a very good question, making Gudako smile.

"You would think that, as it's a yes and no answer. Yes, Oni-chan has improved by leaps and bounds thanks to his future self-memories but on the flip side, he's been doing everything he can to keep the world safe. Learning on the job and fighting has improved what he can do but he hasn't had the chance to explore new concepts, simply because he's doing everything, he can prevent the dark future of our world from coming true. It was only after he met daddy, was he allowed to slow down, if only a little bit and able to relearn the skills his older self-left behind for him. But in doing so, he hasn't been able to explore new techniques, but he hasn't learned them all, as you all saw, he hasn't had the chance to perfect his 'Ice Titan' form. Something that will be key to defeating one of the Six."

Mina nodded, "Yeah, okay that makes sense. So, in a way, it's like being a pro-hero, having so much to do with little time to spare on anything else, only able to test new things out in the field."

"I suppose." Gudako let it go, knowing that the pro-heroes of Mina's Earth would never approve of their methods, even if they are necessary to protect the world. But hey, what can you do? Not her world, not her problem.

"But that doesn't answer the question: Will she be a threat?" Gudako didn't even bother to hide her scowl, as she looked at Ross, before it turned into a mocking smile.

"Only to those who are strong." A gleam appeared in her eyes, "Unlike some people, Ameyuri doesn't like to fight, let alone kill those weaker than her. She doesn't like killing those who are weaker than her, sees it as below her and those that do, even lower on the rug to the point she wouldn't even give you the time of day." The jab was not lost to Ross, as the general scowled right back but keep a professional face.

"But that can change. How are you certain that she only goes after strong people?"

"Aside from the fact she has hounded and goaded Oni-chan into fights? Well, you can ask Logan and Hulk, not Banner, the Hulk himself. She fought both of them and kicked both of their asses."

At that, everyone looked to the two in shock, as both Logan and Banner could at best, be described as the "Tank Fighter" of the Avengers. Logan for his healing and metal bones with Banner as the Hulk naturally. The oldest man in the room, merely took out one of his crap cigarettes and lite it before speaking in a very grumbling tone, "Yeah, I fought Ringo before, for all but five minutes before she turned me into a lightning rod." Inhale the smoke and blow it out, "The only reason I'm still alive is because she grew board fighting me and my own healing being pushed to the max."

"Yeah, kind of the same with me." Banner rubbed the back of his head, "I don't know all the details but when i woke back up from being the Hulk, she was standing over me, criticizing me that she believed the Hulk was supposed to be something special if the US army was so desperately trying to capture me. Said the Hulk was nothing but a mindless beast with no direction and that I should say sorry for getting her hopes up, wasting her time and what not. Saying that the Hulk is nothing but a weakling that wasn't worth the effort to draw her blades to use on. I don't know much, only bits and pieces of what happened but all i know for certain is that the Hulk won't come out, if he thinks she is anywhere near him and for a time, flinched whenever he was near any kind of electricity and thunderstorms."

That was concerning and honestly, a bit humiliating for some. Ross had put so much time, energy, money and soldiers into capturing the Hulk only to lose him at every turn. Now, he's learning that some random woman, some sort of blood sister of Mazoku's mother had not only fought and defeated the Hulk, but she did also so without breaking a sweat it seems.

Whether she knew it or not, Stark had just insulted and took down not just Ross but Stryker as well, several pegs with this information. One, who has been chasing the green giant since Banner's accident and the other, who made the mutant the unstoppable force of nature in the 'Weapons X' program. The two had sunk a lot of money, time and effort into the two men and to hear that someone else had beaten the two so soundly, she was insulted by how 'weak' they were, is a massive insult to them personally.

As well as concerning.

The Hulk was hunted down, due to the fact he could easily rip million-dollar tanks apart with his bare hands and to see this small, tiny woman beat someone like that so easily, she felt cheated out of a good fight?

It was cause for a lot of concern.

"It shouldn't be that surprising." Olga suddenly said, "Master often trains with his father, while he was wearing his Iron Man suit, throwing him around like he was a rag doll with his bare hands. So, it's no real surprise master's aunt is one just as powerful, if not more so than he is. She's had centuries to practice and perfect her magical abilities and skills. From what master has told me, Lilith met, and blood bonded with Ringo during WW1 and since then, has been on her own journey to become the strongest in the world. I don't know all the details but what i do know for certain, is that at some point she begins to seek out better and better fights, ones that can push her to the very limit. To test herself against the very best in the world and anyone she deems worthy of her attention, she will seek to make them grow to their strongest, then have a fight to the death with them."

"Lilith was the one person Ameyuri couldn't defeat and seeing as how Oni-chan has the potential and proven he can become stronger than his mother, she is very eager to see it fully unleashed." Gudako said, as Adenala spoke up, despite her shuddering.

"T-true. I k-knew his mother p-personally an-and she was v-very powerful. P-powerful enough to b-be considered an A-Archmage. She j-just never c-cared for titles o-of such. T-to her, titles a-are meaningless and b-believed action s-speak louder than w-words."

Isn't that the truth.

"Well shit, his mother couldn't help but screw him over with two crazy sisters, now he's got an equally crazy aunt?" Boomstick spoke, "Man, he really does have the Devil's luck."

"That and due to the fact Xero has technically died so many different, painful deaths via his Servants memories, he has stopped fearing death." Wiz said, "Because of that, he is prone to be very reckless as a result. People fear death as it is the end of them, the end of their world and are afraid, as they have no idea what comes next after word but Xero? No, he knows what comes next and seeing as some of his Servants are fighting to take his soul when he dies, while not exactly something someone wants to hear, has grown used to it."

"Seeing as old Reeps has been able to escape Death's cold grasp so many times, while also constantly teetering on the very edge of it at the same time with death itself hanging over his head, the fear of death lost its sting on him." Boomstick said with a chuckle, "Got to wonder just how bad things can get that you would stop fearing death altogether."

"But thanks to his regeneration abilities, he can pretty much get away with his reckless attitude in battle." Wiz said, "Even if he prefers to air on the side of caution, he sometimes can't help himself but be reckless. Must be that Stark blood in him."

Cinder could barely stop herself from shattering her teeth from her grinding.

Again...again, all this damn viewing has shown her just how unstoppable and uncontrollable Mazoku was. No fear of death? Normally Cinder would have scoffed, called it bull and throw her weight around.

The Maiden's power, HER power, inspired fear of death.

At how easily it would be for her to kill someone with just a flick of their wrist. Fear is what kept Roman, Adam, even Mercury and Emearld in line seeing as how easily she could kill them at her own leisure.

Hell, fear is what lead to Leo and all others who had betrayed Ozpin over the many, many years for her mistress. But to hear that her soon to be worst enemy, her biggest obstacle had once again stripped her of another in her arsenal:

The weapon of Fear.

Fear was a weapon she had perfected over the years to get where she is now and to know that weapon was useless, had enraged her to no end. Why? Why was this happening?! Why was Fate pitting this monster her against her?!

She had a destiny to fulfill!

WHY DID THIS BASTARD SEEM TO HAVE EVERYTHING AND SHE WAS BORN WITH NOTHING?!

WHY?!

"People have debated for many, many years now on whether it's nature or nurture that makes a person turn out the way they do." Wiz said, unknowingly gaining everyone's attention once more, "I personally think it's nurture and the environment in which we grow that helps defines who we become, along with our own morals but there is no doubt it was his experiences that has molded Xero into what he is today. Like it or not, he is exactly what the world of Earth 616 needs in order to survive the coming storm."

"For when the moon is high, the monster's claw at the gates and what goes Bumps in the night Xero Bumps back." Boomstick said with a smirk, "He's long since made it clear he is no hero, and this world doesn't need another a hero."

"No, what it truly needs, is the monster that can fight other monsters to starve off something far worse." Wiz said, "And that is what he has become in order to protect his family and save this world from certain destruction. Why? Because sometimes the world doesn't need another hero, what it truly needs, is a monster to do what is necessary to save it."

"All fear the Reaper." Boomstick said with a chuckle, as the screen changed to show Xero kicking some poor low-level thug out a window, followed by his words.

"You have the right to get the flying fuck out of my office!"

"AHAHAHAHA!" That earned some very loud laughs, mostly from Muriko, Pixie Bob, Tony, Remy, Laura, Bakugo and several less than mature people. But that didn't change the heavy atmosphere in the room. It was all, quite a lot to take in. After all was said and done, many had a good idea on who and what Xero was.

The heroes, pro and in training, despite the ones laughing all now had a better understanding of Xero. Hell, the huntsman, huntress and just generally everyone else now had a better understanding of the Grimm Reaper and now understood that he was no master criminal or even the monster he protrayed himself as.

He was just a boy, a man if you will as he has more than earned the right to be called a man, who had been forced into an impossible situation and told to make do. He held the weight of the world on his shoulders, he fought and fought, nearly dying countless times, sacrificing everything for humanity's sake.

His body, his youth, his innocence, his chance at a normal life, his trust in people and his very own sanity itself were sacrificed to save humanity. Only to learn that his future was doomed, meaning everything he did, all he sacrificed and the deaths of so many people was all for nothing, like a giant middle finger to him, spitting on everything he did.

And for what?

Even if his future self was able to fight off the undead, what did it matter if he had no one left? Simply because a few feared his power, the same power that saved them all in the first place, in some misguided attempt to 'protect humanity' only made them Xero all the more understandable. Giving him very good reasons to act the way he does.

He didn't wake up one day and decide to be a monster. It was a long, slow, painful process that took a young teen that was only trying to do the right thing and molded him into the very monster they feared he was, simply because he was powerful. Even those that either hated him, feared him or wanted him gone knew they wouldn't be able to get the support they would need to pull it off, as this viewing showed everyone why.

It was just as Wiz and Boomstick said, Xero wasn't the hero they want but the monster they need if they are to survive the coming storm.

PING

But before more could be said, a familiar portal opened up and out came...

---

Done!

All right after two to three days straight of staring at my screen for more than half a day, i finally finished revising this page. For obvious reasons, some scenes had to be cut from the final draft to make more sense but not a lot. Scenes like Xero rescuing Kiana and his starting fight with Overhaul as well. No matter how i looked at it, some of those scenes being added just wouldn't make sense from a story standpoint.

I might add it to the next chapter but i highly doubt it, so i hope you all enjoyed this revise page, till next time everyone!

Devil out!
