Four Hearts of One Journey

Ch.22: Villains are people too

"Cinder…mistress how are you taking in your…. Upgrades?" Emerald asked with a hint of worry as she and Mercury were helping Cinder walk around the castle a bit by supporting her arms. They hadn't ever seen Cinder behavior be like well what she being like, which was just silence and even a hint of shyness. It was unnerving to the two teens, they didn't find this Cinder easy to be by at all

"…." Cinder didn't say, at all as she just stared ahead with a blank empty look as she was subconsciously getting use to her new body parts

"Emerald, I don't think she's there anymore." Mercury stated, only to back off a bit as he saw his friend glare at him "What just looked at her. She's literally could be considered a vegetable now."

"Shut up, she's fine got it. She's been through worse and she will get through this damnit!" Emerald argued back in defense of the goddess of a woman she found Cinder to be

"Oh wow way to go all fan girl on me, what's next you start dressing up as a skimpy cheerleader with the words 'Cinders Babe' printed on it?" Mercury remarked with a snarky smirk as Emerald glared at him

"You know what you legless jackass, go fu-" Emerald was about to say, but was cut off as they saw Rodrigo and Ursula appeared before them. Seeming to much to the teens sudden disturbed thoughts, seemed to have their clothes ruffled up along with messy hair… and the fact they seemed a little sweaty

-" Did they just have sex….oh god I think I threw up a little my mouth."- Both Emerald and Mercury thought as the mere idea of that was sickening, then again those two having sex would most likely be equivalent to seeing two hairless Ursa's matting and that was something no one ever should see…EVER

"Ah the little bambino's are helping out Miss Cinder. How is she, she seems…" Rodrigo asked as he tried to shift the conversation at what he could already the kids guess he and Ursula did. Which in his own opinion was so worth it, the woman knew how to use her hands very well

"Like a zombie I'd say, a very shocked zombie." Ursula remarked as she lifted Cinders head up a little inspecting the woman "Hm, don't worry too much dearies. She'll recover and boy will she have some rage to let off. How cute it will be to watch."

"Cute yeah….I guess you can say that. Um anyways though ah… what…ah… where is everyone else right now. It's seems quitter today." Mercury replied back as he found Ursula at least uneasy to be around, mainly because of her tentacles. He knew his world had Faunas and some of those people could have strange animal appendages in strange places sometimes. But when it came to Ursula, she looked like what would happen if you had a drunk man to draw a perverted sketch of a love child between a mangled dead corps and a dead animal. He just saw Ursula as not right and pretty repulsive

"Oh there at their own worlds, needing to make preparations they explained." Rodrigo explained as he fixed his hair a little "Speaking of which, I need to get going back to my own world. Ursula until next time dear madam."

"Hm, can't wait big boy. Rawr." Ursula flirted back as she let Rodrigo kiss her hand, which in turn made Emerald and Mercury almost throw up. Then both made their way passed the two, who themselves were glad Cinder at least for this moment wasn't able comprehend the gross interactions they just witness. Once two adults were gone, Emerald thankfully was the one who got her nerve back

"Okay aside from that horrid display of affection we just had the unfortunate timing to see. I guess since mostly everyone here is gone for the day. We can see if maybe getting some fresh air would help Cinder." Emerald stated as she was kind of glad she didn't have to be around the usual inhabitants not part of their group

"Eh better then nothing and besides maybe I can find a nice place to take a nap while you try fixing your girlfriend here." Mercury teased a little with a snarky smirk

"Shut up you jackass, how many times do I have to tell you she is not my girlfriend!" Emerald screamed angrily as her cheeks went bright red

"So the sounds of you moaning Cinders name when you think your alone in OUR room; and you keep a pair of Cinders undergarments under your pillow which I had the misfortune to stumble upon since I know you wear sports underwear; isn't proof enough you're a total lesbo who's hot for master?" Mercury bluntly remarked smirking still, but tried not to burst out laughing when he saw how fluster/angry Emerald got. He loved messing with the moss head, her reactions always were the best

"Y-You pervert?!" Emerald screamed as she was so wanting to just break the annoying man child's neck

"Well you shouldn't be so damn loud and obvious about it. To be honest it's kind of pathetic when you actually try to be subtle." Mercury explained as he and a very flustered Emerald made their way outside, seeing the open wide area along with feeling a cool breeze. As he and Emerald placed Cinder on a small chair placed in the area. Mercury noticed Emerald was glaring down at the ground, he sighed a bit "Look sorry if I-"

"FUCKING ASSHOLE!' Emerald screamed as she kicked Mercury directly in the center of his crouch; twice in a row. Then gut punched him before kneeing him the stomach and finishing off with a solid right hook to the face. Mercury fell to the ground, throwing up a bit from the sheer force of the attacks, before he was kicked in the face hard landing on his back on the ground in a lot of pain. Emerald meanwhile was so fluster/ angry that she was tearing up from the sheer anger "NOW JUST LAY THERE AND DIE YOU PIECE OF TRASH!"

"Okay….I deserved that. I am so glad I have an aura." Mercury muttered as he could hear the sounds of Emeralds foots steps becoming more distant. He just laid there though looking up at the sky in pain, sighing once more as he painfully turned his head to see Cinder just looking on ahead with her ever still blank look. He turned his head back up, still staring up at the sky as he let the sounds of a far off waterfall sooth him. Then he began to fall deep into slumber as he wonder if anything new would happen soon, but he just didn't know how soon it was going to be for something very new to happen

-In the caves with Assassin, Ilia, Chinatsu and Linda-

"Okay… so why are we here and why am I here in particular?" Ilia asked as she was laying on her stomach over a small cliff edge with well at least one human, one human looking girl and a spirit from what was explained to her from the jackass priest Keri who she hated already with a passion

"Because like we're all girls here and I've never really had any gal pals. Well any that could kill people or have killed before. Dumb bitches always ran away after they found out my profession for killing. They scream 'Oh how could you' or 'You're a monster'. Then I'd shot them in the legs while they ran away from me, after that I'd cut up their pretty little bodies to make my music with their lovely screams." Chinatsu happily explained as she was using the only set of binoculars the small group had currently

"Okay there was like a few things in that sentence that you said way too casually." Ilia remarked somewhat off put by Chinatsu's chipper attitude with murder. Not like she hadn't kill anyone and well enjoyed it. Okay maybe one or two of those murders she did enjoy. But she always had a reason to do so, Chinatsu just seemed to enjoy it like a game

"Just chill kay missy, trust me you'll have a super time with us!" Chinatsu yelled happily, only for Assassin covered her mouth

"First rule about recon, spying or assassination. Be quiet." Assassin explained sternly as she had taken a sort of group mother hen role with the girls; a stern scary looking one but a mother hen no doubt. Ilia herself didn't really know what to feel about Assassin, she could respect the woman, spirit or spirt woman's skills in the art of assassination. But the main reason for the wariness, was the fact Assassin had been human. A long dead legendary human be it at that, which made Ilia uneasy around the spirt woman. But this also somewhat peeved Ilia that this all mighty Holy grail from what Assassin explained contained the souls of many HUMAN heroic spirits. Ilia's internal response was why there weren't any Faunas Heroic Spirits. There were plenty she could recall, so were they not worth enough. In the end of that lecture, Ilia already hated the grail for it's obvious bias exclusion of Faunas Heroic Spirits

"Thank you mom." Chinatsu bluntly replied with an eyeroll

"Seriously though why are we up here?" Linda asked as out of the group, Ilia was the least warry about her. Mainly because despite her looking human, her otherworldly appearance begged to differ. Also she could relate to the unifying issues that all quote on quote henchmen faced in life. Which was their bosses moronic plans, when or if they had them at the time of course. She herself had endured some of Adam's more morainic plans at times and survived relatively sane for the most part. So all in all Linda was the girl she had a close connection to the most in this place "Because I could be getting some more Z's right now and you won't like it if I'm cranky."

"You know when you say cranky it just makes your for some damn reason adorable. I'd eat you up if I could…or out." Chinatsu remarked with a smirk and wink

"Ehhh, I ah, ah…ah… ah…" Linda stuttered as she was trying to keep calm, but the shit eating smirk from Chinatsu was making it hard for her to not get flustered "Wait… you're just messing with aren't you?"

"Maybe or maybe not. I let you decided my sweet little Linda." Chinatsu answered with a flirty, yet deceitful tone

"Ah my mind is a jumble of hormones and confusion!" Linda yelled as she was in a slight daze from the awkward, yet slightly enticing conversation she just had with Chinatsu

"Silences, do any of you know what that means?" Assassin asked with a disgruntled sigh

"Oh we're safe if we get a little loud. Besides it's normal for teens to talk about their possible sexual identities that will most likely follow them into their later lives, dictates their friends and also their life styles to accommodate for whatever views they may have on said persons sexual preferences." Chinatsu nonclonally explained as the other three just stared at her for a few moments "What?"

"I…I… my words. My words have failed me." Linda responded back first as she just laid on her back on the ground staring up at the rooftop of the cave seeming to contemplate life itself now "What is…what is anything anymore."

"Seriously I can't tell if you're a legit oddball or like some strange super geniuses that just acts like an odd ball." Ilia answered next as she just rubbed her forehead, human or not Chinatsu just brought down some heavy stuff to think on, at least to her and Linda apparently

"Oh like you have anything to worry about missy." Chinatsu remarked with yet again another smirk

"What's that suppose to mean?" Ilia asked as she felt somewhat offended

"Really, it's pretty obvious." Assassin responded back first

"Yeah pretty much." Chinatsu "It's very obvious you're into girls lizard gal pal."

"No offense, but you're not really subtle Ilia sorry." Linda suddenly answered as she got out of her daze to join in

"I do not, when have I shown any liking towards women hm?" Ilia asked as Linda, Chinatsu and Assassin looked to one another, then back at Ilia "What?"

-Flash back: A few days ago-

"Hm, hm, hm, hm." Raven hummed as she cleaned her blade, alongside Starscream who seemed to was doing the same. Both really hadn't spoken, but one couldn't help but see that their was connection between the two as warriors. Even though one of them was a well trained mother and the other a coward of sorts. But as both cleaned up their blades, suddenly Ilia came in as she wanted to clean off her whip after using it against some training dummies she had warily asked Kiera to help make. Once made she used them, but it didn't make her feel at ease since the man looked like he'd kissed a worm monster and it infected his face. Alongside the fact that his servant Berserker just really creeped her out in general, like running away if she saw him just standing in the middle a street sort of creepy

"Mind if I sit here with you?" Ilia kindly, but nervously asked as both Starscream and Raven looked to one another; then back at her

"Sure." Starscream answered as Raven just nodded, once Ilia took a seat it was a good two minutes of silence. But for Ilia during that time she couldn't but stare slightly at Raven from time to time. The woman looked like one of the models you'd only see in the movies and holy heck she didn't care if Raven was human or not. She couldn't help but stare at the exotic beauty sitting next to her. Raven thought took notice and smile just a little

"Something wrong young lady?" Raven asked sweetly, but with an underline amused tone

"Ah yeah just staring at your nice rack I MEAN SWORD. I am looking at your nice… sword." Ilia answered, blushing madly as she swore she could see Raven smirking; while Starscream just watched

"Oh how sweet to say, well my sword is very nice. Hm maybe later on you can show me how to use…that whip of yours. Would you please for me?" Raven asked very sweetly, amused beyond belief as she loved Ilia's reaction to the very unsubtle words along with just for kicks adding in a quick lip lick

"Ah…." Ilia well didn't really say, but in all honest this was by this point the overload for her brain to function properly. Raven taking great amusement out of seeing Ilia's shocked, blushing face got up and simply pat her head

"See you around little lady." Raven happily said, swaying her hips just barley as she walked out of the area with Ilia just staring at her. After a good ten seconds of total silence, Ilia turned her attention to Starscream

"You do not tell a single soul about this." Ilia sternly said, though was still blushing as she quickly went back to cleaning her whip, Starscream chuckled going back to cleaning his blade

"My lips are sealed." Starscream replied, but was smirking and already decided to totally tell everyone. If not for blackmail or petty revenge, just because he could. Also because he knew he's kind of a sadistic prick

-End of Flash back-

"Okay one did Starscream tell you, two it was totally out context and three can you really blame me. I a woman with needs alright, happy now!" Ilia defensively stated as she was feeling utterly embarrassed

"One it was totally not out of context , you were looking at her chest you perv." Linda answered first, smiling a little

"Two yes you are a woman with needs, but you could temper those down a notch." Assassin answered next

"And three. Oh what do you think, Starscream totally told everyone." Chinatsu answered last as she smiled widely "That's what you get for trusting a robot that's group name has the word Decept in it. That's like trusting a prisoner with a long history of violence not to stab you after giving him a shank. Pretty explanatory hun."

"Ah I see… well after this I am going to find Starscream and make him pay for this betrayal of trust." Ilia stated as she swore she would get back at Starscream for this. But she took a deep breath to clam herself down "Anyways, back on subject. But for real Chinatsu what are we doing here. Is there like a sort of need to be here other then showing that your quarters has this cliff side on the girls side of the cave. Which wait who was the one that even set this up, like boys on one side and girls on the other. Also how is this cave so big and spacious that it can fit us along with a small group of what I'm guessing are cave dwellers that only seem to have boys in their group… questions for later."

"Yeah second part no idea how to answer that, but for the ladder. Well since this is a cliff side of the girls side of the cave. Turns out that it's high enough that we can look into the bath house on our side or is it a bath hot spring. Oh you know what I mean!" Chinatsu explained

"Wait are you saying you want us to join you in spying on women, our allies in the caves hot spring who will most likely be nude. The very same women who mostly likely could kill us within seconds if they wanted to. I'm sorry I don't think I ever said I was suicidal. If you are you knock yourself out, but please don't drag us into your death sentence." Linda stated in a deadpanned tone as she knew this was going to get them most likely killed if caught or at least badly hurt by the deadly women said crazy she guess new friend wanted to have them watch while bathing –"How did I get myself into this… oh right she just dragged me here."-

"Hm that what you say now, but If you must know we have Miss Lady Maria, Miss Arfoire and Miss Raven already in the springs. But since you don't want to see, I'll have the fun all to myself." Chinatsu said smirking as she began to well watch her female teammates in the bathhouse well do their stuff "Nice…"

"Come ladies. We can leave this pervert to her own devices." Assassin said but noticed both Ilia and Linda seem conflicted "Are you two for real?"

"Now hold on… as much as it may seem well perverted to do. Think of it this way, in battle at one point I might by accident just suddenly start thinking about Raven's nice looks and such. If I were to see her um… natural form. Then my mind would be clearer and free from that possible circumstance." Ilia explained with a slight blush on her cheeks

"Yes and Lady Arfoire is a goddess in her own right. I would be blessed to look upon her holy form with my eyes. Lady Maria is just a bonu- I mean she's is an angel that I, Ilia and Chinatsu will have the privilege to gaze upon." Linda explained next as she was rubbing the back of her head sheepishly

"You two are just trying to justify being perverts at this very moment. Aren't you?" Assassin asked with a deadpanned tone as she already knew that answer

"Wow Arfoire I didn't know you hiding such well made assets under that dress of yours." Chinatsu remarked as she smiled, mentally counting down to three –" One, two….. thr-"-

"LET ME SEE!" Linda screamed as her face was very red, taking the binoculars looking now, she took a good minuet before she gave Chinatsu back the binoculars, then turned around laying on the ground

"Um, how was it?" Ilia asked, as she suddenly saw Linda's face turn from calm to smiling well like a pervert

"So good… if there is a heaven it is Lady Arfoire's body that will be mine. I can die now with no regrets." Linda explained joyfully as she looked like she really did see heaven

"I'm kind of second guessing this now." Ilia stated as she really was starting to think this may not be worth it, especially if they got caught by said three dangerous women

"Thank you. Finally some one speaks some sense." Assassin said in relief that at least one of girls were starting to think straight

"Hm, now Raven miss Raven. You sure you're as old as you said you were. You got the body of a twenty year old fashion model." Chinatsu suddenly stated, waiting for her other new friend to take the binoculars away from her

"GIVE ME!" Ilia suddenly screamed as her hormones took over her rational thought at this very moment. As she took the binoculars, she saw it all and she couldn't help but agree wit Linda when she said she was in heaven whatever that was "So…worth it."

"I'm starting to think being picked for this Holy grail war wasn't worth it if it means I have to deal with these sort of girls." Assassin muttered as she was surprised to see that these girls were bigger pervs then she believed. But just then as she looked at the hot spring by accident, she noticed something. She looked back down to the girls to see that now Ilia was laying on the ground next to Linda looking like she was in utter glee. Chinatsu just looked at the two giggling a little, but smiling in a friendly matter for once

"Aw you two are so adorable, see I told you it be worth it!" Chinatsu happily cheered as Ilia and Linda just nodded in agreement, then she noticed Assassin looking at her "Something wrong?"

"You may want to take one more look at the springs right now." Assassin suggested

"No need to tell me, now then lets seem some good looking…." Chinatsu began to say, but stopped when she saw that Lady Maria, Arfoire and Raven were gone; while what was left was a quickly written not that said 'See you in a moment.' Chinatsu put the binoculars down, sure she was a tough girl who had killed many in her life time. But, she also knew compared to her. The three women she had gotten her new friends to pep on were mostly likely able to take her down within seconds if needed. So she was understandably, nervous "W-We have to go now girls."

"Aw but why, let us enjoy our piece of heaven." Linda asked as she was still in a joyful daze

"I still don't know what that is but yeah." Ilia added in, as she was really in a joyful daze

"Girls you don't understand, they're about to-" Chinatsu began to explained, but was cut off

"About to come and see are little admires." Raven stated with a smirk, a scary smirk that promised a painful end. She, Arfoire and Lady Maria were behind the girls fully clothed once more. Meanwhile Ilia and Linda quickly got back into their senses, moving up next to Chinatsu as all three hugged one another for some sort of protection

"Yes and I'm thinking we give them a reward for their gutsy move." Arfoire remarked as her eye was twitching in anger, while her smile promised a slow painful end

"But since we can't kill you three, we shall only beat you to near death." Lady Maria said calmly, while she punched her left hand into her right. The fact that her face was still so devoid of any actual hint of anger didn't help make the woman less scary

"That does sound fun." Arfoire responded back as she smirked evilly as the girls noticed her long sharp nails "Hm maybe I can add some scratch marks on them too."

"Just don't scare them, it wouldn't be nice to ruin their pretty little face permanently." Raven said kindly, a little too kindly as she also punched her left fist into her right hand "But that doesn't mean go too easy on them."

"Wait it wasn't our idea i-it was Assassins, she wanted us to come up here and spy on you for her own sick fantasy!" Chinatsu yelled in slight panic –"Sorry buddy, but I don't want to die or at least spend a week in utter pain!"-

"Right but if that the case, where is she so we can hurt her?" Raven sarcastically asked still sweetly smiling as the girls looked to see Assassin had left them to their fate

"TRAITOR!" Ilia, Linda and Chinatsu screamed angrily; but turned their attention back to see the three bombshell women moving slowly closer to them

"So ladies, ready for lesson 101 on pain?" Raven asked way too sweetly once more cracking her knuckles as Ilia, Linda and Chinatsu all but could only accept their painful lesson

"AHHHHH!" The three girls screamed, before the sounds of violence commenced

-With Shockwave, Tokiomi, Brador, Shisho and Adam on the boys side of the cave-

"AHHHHH!" The screams of three girls echoed as Tokiomi was sitting in a decently stitched chair while taking a sip of tea or whatever was the bets substitution for it from an old clean glass cup

"Those girls are being louder then usual and it's only been a few day's since our arrival here." Tokiomi muttered with a slight sigh as he was still pondering on how in the world he got stuck in this place. He wondered if this would mess with his plans for the grail, but despite how he usually acted which was calm and devoid of most emotions at least on the outside. He was very concerned about his wife and Daughter Rin. He wondered if whatever those dark little things that dragged him, took them as well. But as a magus and a part of the Tohsaka family, one of the founding families. He kept all his worry in, still he did feel somewhat uneasy about some of his new allies in this temporary alliance. But he also couldn't help but see them as interesting

"Yes but they are interesting subjects I will say, like you Tokiomi. Your mage craft truly does interest me." Shockwave responded back as he was fiddling with an internal wrist computer

"I'm glad to hear that, maybe I can show you some of my mage craft when we get the chance." Tokiomi replied back with the best small smile he could muster up, though internally he was uneasy about Shockwave along with the rest of its metal kin

It wasn't that Tokiomi didn't trust any of the decepticons. Well okay that was a complete lie, he didn't trust them at all one bit. Still he did find the decepticons interesting. Mainly for the whole fact these things were mechanical beings that somehow obtained sentience. He was a magus and as such his kind didn't believe in the use of technology. Seriously he didn't have a TV, modern phone or anything that would be considered technological. But even though he didn't use technology at all, he still could appreciate the usefulness of technology. Tokiomi even humored himself sometimes going to the movies with his wife and daughter to watch what peopled called sci-fi. Never could get use to fantasy as he always found the magic within those movies utterly silly and ridiculous. Aside from that, his appreciation for technology extended now to his interest with the concept of living mechanical beings. Even though he was also nervous of them from their large size, lack of weakness most mortals have and most important their ability to transform into war machines of utter death. Still it was better having the metal people working as allies then having any as enemy's.

"That would be most welcomed Tokiomi. You seem much more unique then the other… organics here." Shockwave replied back as he looked to Shisho staring at Adam or more to the fact his horns on his head. While Brador sat on Adam's left seeming like he was in another whole world. Though Adam seemed to take notice of the Shockwaves statement

"What was that tin man, something you want to say more about me?" Adam sternly asked as he glared at the large robot behind his mask

"Ah so you're hearing is heighten. Interesting even if you have a slight temper." Shockwave remarked "Maybe if you allow it I can take a blood sample. See what makes you the faunas as you called yourself and human different. That would be interesting to learn."

"Well I can already tell you that… WILL YOU STOP STARING!" Adam began explaining, but stopped as he couldn't take anymore Shisho's staring "Do you want me to cut that head of yours off human?!"

"Whoa, whoa just chill there bud. No need to get violent. Just was wondering how effective those horns of yours are with disemboweling people. I mean they're not that big or well impressive. Must have trouble with the ladies am I right?" Shisho remarked with a toothy grin as Adam was using all of his strength not to just behead the guy right now

"Funny…" Adam angrily replied back –"Don't hurt him, don't hurt him, don't hurt him, don't hurt him, don't hurt him, hurt him, don't hurt, don't hurt him, don't…hurt…him."-

"Yes….interesting subjects." Tokiomi muttered as like most of his other allies, he was warry of them also

For example Tokiomi didn't care much for Shisho already, the man was crude, veil, bloodthirsty and was a totally slob. The man Shisho was everything Tokiomi despised in people, a man of his grace and such had the pleasure to meet some very interesting proper people in his days. But people like Shisho were the ones he always dreaded having to deal with and somewhat took joy in killing them if needed. Especially if they were magus, for those who were like Shisho with the capacity for magic were ones that made Tokiomi snarl in disgust; but felt joy when killed by his own mage craft. All in all even though he will admit, Shisho was a reliable combatant and ally. Tokiomi had no intentions of becoming friends with the man and hoped he'd seen the man's demises whenever it happened.

Now when it came to Adam, Tokiomi was more incline to try and befriend the young man. Why well mainly because he found him much more likeable then Shisho. Not that he still wasn't weary of the young man, or well young faunas as he explained it. Tokiomi found that prospect interesting though, the sight of a human-animal hybrid was something he hadn't seen in his lifetime. So Adam was a very interesting person, though the obvious disliking towards humans was what made Tokiomi wary of him. Still if he could, he'd try and get to know Adam better. Though oddly enough he felt some magical affinity within Adam, then again he felt affinities for magic in well everyone in their little alliance; even those who weren't originally adept to magic.

But that's what didn't make sense. Tokiomi had been around when everyone in their group explained their worlds, to make a sense of comradery. But what got his attention the most, was that some of his comrades had mention that in their worlds magic was all be a fairy tale. That got Tokiomi wondering how their worlds function. But the world the intrigued him the most was the world where Adam, Tyrian, Illa and Raven came from. Their world of Remnant was one of technology and also magic. Both fused in a sort of Frankenstein alongside the fact their world was always on the brink of possible extinction for both human and Faunas alike thanks to the Grimm's. To be perfectly honest everyone else, even Gilgamesh the king of hero's were utterly intrigued by their world. None of them knew why, but the world of Remnant was one of utter fascination.

"Whispers, whispers and silence. Oh I wish these two would stop their prattle. The dream of the old was much quieter." Brador suddenly spoke, as Tokiomi and Shockwave noticed that the two men were now arguing a bit. Well it was more of Shisho making fun of Adam, who kept making death threats only for Shisho to try and egg him on to act on those ones

"Agreed, but what can we do." Tokiomi responded back with a sigh as he took another sip of his drink while Shockwave just seemed to watch

Now onto Tokiomi's final ally with them at the moment, Brador. Tokiomi honestly couldn't really figure out what to think of the man. On one hand he seemed like a completely murderous psychopath from just the way he spoke in riddles, his weapon he always had on him and his bloody clothing along with his odd head wear. Still the man also seemed like a wise old monk, his riddles though odd spoke wisdom. His mannerisms were polite and curious. He also seemed to be very intelligent as he seemed to be a fan of chess and had a seemingly deep love for reading when he wasn't speaking of this dream he and Lady Maria stayed in. That also intrigued him, though when he explained his world; well it wasn't a pretty picture at all. It was to Tokiomi's best explanation a Lovecraftian horror story. He never would admit it, but he had a secret liking of the man's stories. Either way Tokiomi would also make some attempts to befriend the strange man.

"AHHHHH THE PAIN!" A scream of what sounded like Ilia screamed out, as the continues sounds of the violence echoed still on the girls side of the cave. Tokiomi kind of began wondering if the grail war was worth dealing with what he guess was going to be a crazy time ahead

"I just pray I don't lose my sanity being amongst these people…" Tokiomi whispered as he sighed pinching his brow. Meanwhile the sounds of violence on the girls side, Brador spewing out riddles because he was bored, Shisho attempts to tease Adam, Adam arguing back with Shisho and Shockwaves built in arm terminal beeping echoed all around the man. Tokiomi really, really was now wondering if he'd be sane by the end of this alliance… whenever or if it ended anytime soon. He had a feeling though, that wasn't going to be the case

-With Raven, Kirei, Kariya, Berserker, Ryunnosuke and Caster 4 hours later-

"GRWAHHHHH!" Berserker roared in complete rage as he was sparing with Raven, him using a wooden sword Raven made along with a few more for anyone to use in the unofficial sparring ring that was a separate somewhat smaller cave near the woman's quarters. Though unlike the wooden sword she was using, Berserker's seemed to be instantly covered by red lines and the same darkness the mad servant was surrounded in

"Come at me tin can, I've fought worse!" Raven yelled back as she was surprised at how skilled this seemingly mad man was with a sword one handed to add to her surprise. She was just glad that she was able to block the attacks at all, the sheer force of Berserkers attack was actually traveling through her body. Still she didn't faulter as she blocked another attacker from Berserker being pushed back a bit. But then quickly leaped over him before hitting him against the back as hard as she could without breaking the wooden sword, which pushed the mad man back before landing on his feet facing Raven. Raven herself smirked a little as she readied her wooden sword once more "Come on, I don't got all day little knight."

"Grr, grr, ah, ah, AH, AH, AH, RAWR!" Berserker roared back as it seemed that this bothered the mad servant a bit, as he charged at Raven who couldn't help but pat herself on the back for the quick thinking to get the mad servant more angry

As the spar continued on, Raven dodged barley a horizontal attack from Berserker before having to block her left side as he came in with a punch. The force of the attack pushed Raven to the left a little a she skidded on her feet. She was thankfully her aura had taken most of the force because that would have broken most of her left ribs if she didn't have it. Still she countered with a quick knee to the face stunning Berserker momentarily, then swung her wooden sword straight down at Berserkers head. But to her slight surprise Berserker with ungodly speed grabbed her wooden sword with his free hand, before pulling it away and then head butting Raven who fell back down on the ground. She rubbed her face as the sheer force of the attack which had taken its toll on her aura and yet she still felt it. Raven got back up quickly glaring at the mad warrior who wielded both swords in his hands now. Raven scowled a bit as she began to dodge the attacks Berserker was swinging at her with his unnatural speed and agility. Raven wanted to us her 'special' powers of the Spring Maiden. But she didn't what to risk showing of her ace in the hole around these people, at least not until she knew more about her quote on quote allies potential. If any of them planned on back stabbing her, she'd killed them with her powers consequences afterword's be dammed from the end results even if was her own death. Though she was forced out her quick train of thought as she received a hard hit from the wooden sword in Berserkers left hand knocking her against the ground where she skidded; before stopping a few moments later. She slowly got up seeing that despite the mad man's insanity and beast like personality, it had a chivalry that she had only read in story books; one's that involved waiting for your opponent to get back up before fighting again. Raven scoffed a little, having always found that ideology as moronic and an easy way to get yourself killed.

"Well at least you're a sweet one mad dog." Raven remarked in a mocking tone "Come on is that all you got. Not much of a man are you?"

"GRWAHHHH!" Berserker roared as he charged at Raven, Raven though just waited to see if she had an opening to attack Berserker. But as Berserker was inches away readying both wooden enhanced swords to hit Raven; the spar was cut short

"Berserker that's e-enough for today." Kariya stated as he came in the area coughing up a little and from what Raven swore she saw, blood dripped just a little from his mouth. Berserker though not happy about it, complied to his quote 'masters' orders as he immediately dropped the wooden swords and moved next to him

"Grrr…." Berserker growled lowly in annoyance as Kariya coughed some more, with just a little bit of blood coming out of his mouth

"You okay?" Raven asked somewhat concernly moving up to him. Though this was mostly because she didn't want to explained what happened if this guy next to her dropped dead with no one else other then her and Berserker. Though she cringed just a little when she saw Kariya cough once more, with slightly more blood coming out of his mouth "Jeez…"

"S-Sorry, I'm sure you remember Tokiomi's and Kirei's explanation of our world. The grail war and stuff." Kariya asked as Raven did remember, she remember that explanation very well

When Raven had heard of the Kariya's world, she found it very dull and boring. At first at least, that was until the more interesting information was explained. Underneath the dull and boring world that Kariya, Kirei, Tokiomi and their servants lived in. There lied a secret world of pure magic. Raven would never admit it, but even before getting the powers of the Spring Maiden. She always had a deep belief in magic and loved the idea of it. So when she heard of this world of secret magic that's what got her attention very quickly. Though her child like joy was hyped even more when the Holy Grail war was explained. A war with seven mages only, seven heroic spirits and in the end the winner won the Holy Grail a magical device that could grant the user one wish no matter what it was. Raven almost had squealed at that point of the explanation. But didn't as she was able to keep herself from doing so, still the idea of a grail that could grant one all powerful wish was something that she became very enthralled with. She even guessed that if she had been a master, she most likely would have been paired up with either Saber, Lancer or Archer. Not that she like to say it, but she was one of the most powerful individuals back in her home world. So naturally she would most likey obtain on of the more powerful of the seven servants. Still either way her child like love for magic aside, she didn't mind Kariya but didn't know him well enough. Though she wanted too, despite his ghoulish look, she was curious on what kind of man he was and he seemed much more likeable then the other two that had come from his world. Though out of three servants, she was the least fond of Berserker. Though maybe that was because the damn mad man gave her a rare feeling of utter fear for her life. Just this spar proved how powerful he was, just the sheer force behind his attacks and her aura almost having been depleted just from those few hits proved that much. Still she didn't hate the man servant, just wary of him or her. It was kind of hard to tell since it could honestly be either. That aside she was still curious on a few things about one of her new allies.

"Yeah, but what does that have to do with you?" Raven asked as she wondered really what any of this had to do with the man's apparent illness

"I was getting to that, anyways first off you honestly think this is how I've always looked?" Kariya asked as Raven shrugged

"I don't know, you're from a freaking different world all together. How the hell and I suppose to know. Throw me a bone here!" Raven argued –"I guess no matter where I am, I'm surrounded by oblivious men."-

"Alright sorry, sorry. But yeah I use to look a lot less well like I got hit by a truck full of flesh eating worms. I'm not what you'd call a fully fledged mage, my circuits aren't as advanced as Tokiomi or Kirei's so I had to go to my father the head of the Matuo's clan. Yes one of the same three families that started the whole damn war in the first place. My father being the head of the Matuo's along with being an abominations at this point that has found a way to cheat death for so long. Anyways I asked him to let me patriciate in the war, so he did but he fed me some of his…worms to boost my circuits. What you see now is the end result. Back in my world I only had a month to live, but here when I explained to the metal doctor Knockout of my condition. Much to his slight sadistic curiously, he took some blood samples. Only to say I had a good many years ahead and that the quote one quote magic in this place must be sustaining my life force. Though even with that, I still cough out blood but that's only because of the damn servant I've been paired with. His summon was somewhat shifty. But everytime he fights I tend to cough out blood." Kariya explained as he noticed Raven seemed to be taking this all in pretty well, that or something else was going through her mind "Um…"

"Sorry but just to make sure though, you basically took magical worms into your systems from you monster of dad because… you're a sucky mage?" Raven bluntly asked as Kariya suddenly felt like his pride had been kicked directly in the stones

"Yeah I guess you can say that…" Kariya replied with a sigh, but then saw Raven smile kindly just a little

"Still I guess that's not the dumbest things I've heard. I'm sure you had a reason to do so right?" Raven asked as she gave the man a pat on the back, but noticed Berserker slightly go on edge from the contact. Raven retracted back, guessing that it was the servant mindset that made the mad man protective of his master; even if said Servant didn't seem to fond of his master or just wasn't as willing to blindly listen

"Yeah I do actually." Kariya answered a little shyly

"Which is…?" Raven asked back as she wanted some more then just a simple yeah –" Come on work with me here, out of everyone you seem like the most approachable…kind of."-

"Sakura." Kariya simply answered as Raven raised an eyebrow, before slyly smirking

"Oh so you did this all for a girl, must be one cute bombshell for you to make yourself…well what you now. Hm, you miss her sexy little body or maybe she has a sweet little personality. Oh maybe you just look at her as a piece of m-" Raven asked in a teasing tone only to be cut off as was suddenly being chocked, very hard at that by a Kariya who until this point seemed very docile despite his unsettling appearance

"Her name is Sakura, she's just a little girl and if you ever accuse me of anything like that again I will rip you damn throat out!" Kariya threatened as he chocked Raven even harder, Raven herself could feel her aura slowly draining but it still hurt to try and breath; he then just threw her against the ground as he made his way off followed by Berserker. Once alone Raven slowly got up rubbing her sore throat, but as she did she heard another set of footsteps come in as she looked and saw Kirei come up to her

"Well you seem to have pushed him. Are you alright?" Kirei asked as Raven slowly stood back up, rubbing her throat a little more before taking a deep breath

"Yeah… what are doing here. I thought you'd be taking a nap or something?" Raven asked as she didn't know why, but Kirei didn't sit right with her

Raven had been trying so hard to find a reasonable explanation on why she was so uneasy around the priest. It wasn't because of his devotion to this Christianity, which he tried to convert her to but was only told as kindly as possible that she would think about it. It wasn't because of his stone cold dead look on his face always, no she had known people just like that with that sort of expression 24/7. No none of that or any other reason she tried thinking of helped her figure out why in the world or worlds in this case she was so uneasy around Kirei. She just found the man uneasy, it was just something she wasn't seeing yet that was making all her senses scream to get away from him. But she knew she couldn't, she wouldn't. She would face this man for as long as possible and deal with him if he ever gave her reason too, she was a warrior along with being the wielder of the Springs Maidens powers. She knew she could deal with this man, so she calmed herself down quickly.

"I already did, I just wanted to explore more of this place though. See more of what kind of place this is since we'll be living her for a while. Though I was also wondering about you and your world still, it seems like nothing but a fairy tail even if I can easily tell you and your little friends from that place aren't the lying types. Though I also hear that you were facing off against Berserker in a spar, I wanted to see how humans from your world could face off against a heroic spirit. Especially Berserker, the heroic spirit that is in some cases is the most power strength wise. Seeing you alive and barley harmed shows that you could hold your own." Kirei explained as Raven sighed once again "Hm, you don't believe in my compliment?"

"No it's just that I was lucky I had my aura. As much as I hate to admit it. If I didn't have my aura and my skills though well honed. I wouldn't have been able to stand up against Berserker so well, every hit I received took a large chunk of my aura out from the sheer force. I'd hate to be a person without an aura receiving a hit from Berserker. They're probably be nothing left aside for a blood mangle corpse, that would have most likely been me if again I didn't have my aura." Raven answered, much to the slight hit against her own pride as she really felt like she could have died easily if she hadn't had her aura to take on extremely powerful blows from the mad man

"They say that to become a better person, you must first admit to your faults and weaknesses. Good for you to do so Raven." Kirei stated as Raven just nodded slowly "Raven if you don't mind me asking, why do you think of our allies?"

"Can't say really most I haven't gotten to know well enough yet, I like a few already and don't disliking anyone yet at least. So honestly their alright with me." Raven answered as she had today at least seen most of her allies talking to one another, getting to know each other more; working together or just lazing about for a bit. Still there was two new comers she just realized hadn't been seen today "Wait where are Ryunnosuke and Caster?"

"Ah so you did notice, they've been held up in their quarters. I would have checked on them but didn't find the real need to." Kirei answered

"Well at least as they aren't getting into trouble or causing it so I have no issues. Besides they seem nice enough." Raven stated as she found Ryunnosuke and Caster as odd, but an oddly charming odd along with the fact they seemed harmless enough; kind of like two big kids of sorts

"Yes nice, though I did see them go into their quarters with a few of the native kids that live in the caves. Ryunnosuke seemed gleeful and Caster too. I saw them both smile very widely. But again I'm sure it's nothing." Kirei eerily explained as he made his way out of the area once more, leaving Raven alone

"Why would they be taking kids in their room." Raven muttered as she didn't see the two men as those sort of unsavory people, which only made it odder for her when she thought about it. But for some reason her gut was telling her to go check on them since she already knew who's room was room as she had been made the unofficial cave warden, as some of the girls referred to her as. She quickly made her way out of the training yard, then into the men's section of the cave seeing no one outside at the moment. After a minute or two more, she made it to where she knew Ryunnosuke and Caster were staying in. She grabbed opened the makeshift door handle to their so called room which thankfully for her was opened still. Once inside though she noticed it was dark but saw some light around the corner of the room. She quietly moved around the corner but stopped when she stepped in a puddle. She looked down to see what looked like blood, then as she looked back up she saw what the two newcomers had done and still were doing to the kids they brought into their rooms "Oh… Oh my…."

Now Raven knew she wasn't an angel, she had done things that she would never be able to make up for. Destroyed so many lives because of her actions, killed so many in her life time. But despite all of this evil she had done throughout her life time, she still had some morals and a line she didn't cross. So when she looked upon the corpses of six kids, all with nails in their hands and feet as they hung off the wall. Five already near dead being mutilated in ways that she didn't even want to describe and bloodied beyond belief. She could only stare in silent horror as she watched Ryunnosuke happily slice up the last child. But he stopped as he noticed Raven along with Caster who just stood by his masters side happy as can be.

"Oh hey Raven come to see my art?" Ryunnosuke asked with a wide child like smile, which made Raven want to shutter from how disturbing she found that. But she knew she had to keep a clam mind, if only to not agitate the two newcomers since she had yet to know what they were really capable of in the first place

"Art?" Raven asked as she was trying her best to not show any hint of disgust with the mangled crucified children in front of her, which only made it worse because she could see they all were still in a futile attempt trying to escape "This is your…art?"

"Yeah, yeah totally. Isn't it pretty with all the blood and gore?!" Ryunnosuke asked with child like glee and a look on his face that was way to innocent contrast to the horrid scene behind him currently. Raven couldn't figure out which she should be more disturbed by, the crucified almost dead kids or how innocent looking Ryunnosuke looked even with some blood staining his hands "So again what do you think Raven huh, huh?"

"I…um….it's pretty." Raven answered as best as she could with the best smile she could muster up, but was startled a little when Ryunnosuke and Caster suddenly hugged her

"Oh that's so joyous to hear from you. Oh how wonderful that is oh yes it is!" Caster stated as he let out a cackle a few moments later

"Totally, most people would scream at us, attack us or just run away. But not you Raven. No you have a good eye for art!" Ryunnosuke joyfully screamed, then he and Caster released her from the surprise hug patting Raven's left shoulder for a few more moments "Anyways not to be rude but can I ask you to leave for now, need some more alone time with my best buddy Caster here to perfect the art."

"Yes oh yes indeed, I'm sure you understand Raven that art like this between two geniuses should be finished with just us." Caster happily added in

"Oh ah no… no worries I mean honest. You can show me when you two art professionals are done okay. Okay…bye." Raven quickly responded back, making her way out as Ryunnosuke and Caster looked to one another still smiling

"She's nice." Ryunnosuke stated

"Yes she is, it's hard to find a kind person who can see the joy of the art you my amazing master make. Truly she is one of the enlighten in this multiverse of closed minded sheep." Caster replied in agreement before looking at the barely alive crucified kids, suddenly smiling evilly as he pulled out a jagged makeshift knife "Now then my master, let us add some more to our newest works of true art."

"You got it big guy!" Ryunnosuke gleefully replied with a wide smile of pure joy and a thumbs up, both quickly continuing on their…art. Meanwhile Raven outside now and quickly in front of her room in the woman's quarters was taking in deep breaths of horror at what she saw

"Dear freaking…. what did I get myself into?" Raven asked herself in a mutter as again yes she had killed many in her life time and seen the worst of humans and Faunas alike. But still she had a line when it came to kids, that was the only line she swore she would never cross. Though as she was trying to regain her usual cool mindset after what she just saw, she failed to notice that Slipstream and Brawl were standing behind her

"You want this one?" Brawl quietly asked Slipstream, who then mockingly smile in a flirty fashion

"Oh such a sweet bot, yes you are. Oh yes you are." Slipstream responded back quietly as Brawl growled a bit in annoyance, but stopped as he didn't want to do anything that could make Slipstream angry at him. Slipstream then somehow very quietly knelt down until her face was right behind Raven. She smirked as she waited for a few more moments then acted "Hi."

"AH!" Raven screamed in a surprisingly adorable girly tone, turning around as she grabbed her Katana out in a defensive position. But she quickly scowled as she realized who it was "Ugh, what was that for?"

"Oh that was for the little nick you gave me the first time I did this remember?" Slipstream asked with a passive aggressive smirk as there was a small nick just under her left optic. Raven sighed as she had a feeling the fembot was holding some sort of grudge against her for that. Not that it was her fault really, she just hadn't ever expected in her life time to meet giant freaking transforming robots

"Right… what do you two want?" Raven asked as she wasn't too fond of the decepticons much, aside from Starscream and Soundwave, but if only just a little more tolerable with them "Taking a guess it isn't for a social chat sweetie?"

"Cute just like most of you little organics are baby." Slipstream responded back

"This is awkward." Brawl muttered as he could tell these two were secretly insulting each other with cute pet nick names. Brawl really didn't know why he agreed to go with Slipstream to get Raven, being with Starscream seemed like a better option then being stuck in a silent cat fight

"Anyways. No we came here because Gilgamesh asked Megatron to ask us to fetch you. He's the boss when it comes to you organics. So get going, better not to let him get angry." Slipstream explained as she made her way off

"Ma'am." Brawl simply said as he mad his way off too. Raven rubbed her forehead in slight annoyance, but hated to admit that Slipstream had a point. She didn't want to make the egotistical golden asshole wait any longer, especially since he had some real BS power's at his disposal from what she saw when he first encountered her and the others. She swears she can still feel the stinging pain on her left side after almost being skewered by one of his many so labeled treasured blades

Raven quickly made her way of towards Gilgamesh's quarters or what she called the center of the cave which was the largest portion of the cave or also their groups little main HQ meeting spot. Better yet it was also could be called the Golden asshole lair, for the king of assholes Gilgaprick as Raven secretly referred to him as. Still after a minuet of walking as slowly as she could to inevitably appear before Gilgamesh, she entered into his quarters. Immediately she felt like rolling her eyes in utter annoyance as she saw Gilgamesh just sitting on a throne he had conjured up which to no one's surprise was made of solid freaking gold. Though to add salt to the assholeness of Gilgamesh, the throne also had a red velvet pillow he sat on and some red colored jewels that adorn the arm rests of said throne.

"You called King Gilgamesh?" Raven asked with the best respectful tone she could muster up, even if hated to do it -"Seriously does this guy have like a gold fetish. If gold was a woman, I'm sure he'd married it on the spot. Ugh…"-

"Why yes I did dear Raven. I wish to ask you more on the world you hail from. Out of all the worlds that were explained to us, yours is the most interesting. Never have I heard of a world that was so… so fairytale like. A world where the mortals still cling onto hope against a never-ending horde of creatures from the deepest nightmares anyone can imagine. I will admit I almost actually shed a real tear from how inspiring that sounded. Why such a world could hail great rewards if I were somehow able to visit it. Maybe I could even become the true king of that world as well. After all kingship doesn't just mean one realm. It can be applied to any realm." Gilgamesh explained as Raven internally felt off about how casually he exclaimed his love if she could call it that for her horrid mess of a world

"To be honest king Gilgamesh there isn't much else I can tell or at least much I could tell you that would be of any real importance or interest for you. So I apologize if this has been a waste of your time." Raven answered as she hoped this would suffice "If so then if you would excuse me, I'll-"

"A moment dear Raven, true will admit that I am slightly disappointed that not much more can be said of your world. But I have another reason I called you in here." Gilgamesh answered calmly still

"Oh, is that so King Gilgamesh?" Raven asked kind of curious for once speaking with the man on what else he could want "What is you'd like to ask?"

"Would you kindly be my wife?" Gilgamesh asked getting to the point, but still smiling like he usually did

"E-Excuse me?" Raven asked as she actually chocked on her own tongue almost from the sudden and very out there question "Did you just ask me to be your wife?"

"Indeed I did Raven. Any other woman I'd just say she's my wife and leave it at that. Their consent or not, as to be my wife is to gain all of the earthly pleasures one could desire. But you, I can't help but feel like I should take my time with a gem of a mother like you. You deserve much more respect than that and my respect is very hard to obtain. So you should be honor I have such high respect for you already then most." Gilgamesh explained as Raven was stunned at the explanation to say the least, still she realized one little tidbit that she hadn't told anyone in this makeshift alliance at all

"How did you know…about me being a mother if you would humor me?" Raven asked somewhat warily as she found the fact that this man of all people was the one to figure out a well kept secret of hers, mainly because she never cared to show boast about the fact she had ever been in love once. Which in turn conceived a child out of that secret union, still the thought of even saying the word mother and her together made Raven feel uneasy –"Mother…right."-

"It's easy to tell, for one your hips even if barely surprisingly are a wider. That usual happens if a woman lets herself go which in your case is not a factor at all or more likely, because they have given birth. Still either way child or not, I will let you have time to think on your answer for me. Again unlike most I am giving you a choice in the matter, so again be honored for that even." Gilgamesh explained kindly still "Just remember if you say yes then all you will ever need in life will be provided for you, though the only thing I ask is that you give up your own goals and devote yourself only to me in return."

"I see." Raven replied as she already knew her answer, but decided to tell him later since she'd like the look of his disappointed face whenever he was truly in high spirits "Why me if you don't mind asking King Gilgamesh?"

"Simple, you remind me of a woman, one I bide for even if she's shown a rebellious streak. One that will be crushed one way or another as she also will become my wife. Though unlike you my lady, she won't have a choice in the matter. A woman like her needs a more painful lesson to obey." Gilgamesh answered as Raven pitted whoever else this other woman was to gain the unwanted affection of Gilgamesh "Oh actually before you do leave dear Raven, I called you here for a more professional reason. Soundwave?"

"Yes king Gilgamesh?" Soundwave answered as he suddenly decloaked to the right of Raven, who this time thankfully was able to keep her sudden slight fright in

"Were you here the whole time?" Raven asked

"Affirmative. King Gilgamesh asked me stay in here while he spoke to you. But also wanted to keep me hidden so you wouldn't feel so as he stated uneasy." Soundwave explained a Raven admitted she may have felt that way, even if she did tolerate Soundwave more then most of his decepticon comrades "King Gilgamesh, would you care for me to explain?"

"Yes if you would, also when you get a chance ask your lord Megatron if he would stop by. I do enjoy the chats we have and he does make a very great chess opponent. I actually enjoy losing every now and then for once when it's against him." Gilgamesh answered with a smirk

"Understood, I will relay to him when I see him next King Gilgamesh." Soundwave stated, before using a holo emitter from his chest to show a chart of lines and such

"What is this exactly Soundwave, I don't read lines." Raven asked as she sighed, feeling a headache coming on already with all the mumbo jumbo science stuff

"These lines represent waves of quote on quote 'magical' energy readings. Most are different, but look at the one in blue and one in red." Soundwave explained as Raven felt her headache grow even if she did see that both the blue and red lines were similar expect just being a few inches apart from one another

"Okay so…. what. Come on egg head you got to spell it our for me okay?" Raven asked as she crossed her arms, while Soundwave tilted his head slightly to the left not really able to explain in anymore of a simpler term; at least in his mindset he couldn't "AH!"

"Calm down. What he's trying to explain is that the red line is our line, the blue well it's another line of someone we could in theory contact and one we could contact very soon. I just need some more help, I already have had the other of our more magical in tune allies help in this contact. But I need one more person to add in their share of magic for this to work and you my dear Raven are the perfect fit. Especially with that large storage of pure magic you have inside of you, coursing through your veins." Gilgamesh explained smirking a little more in an amused way, while Raven went wide eyed

"H-How did you-" Raven asked, but was cut off as Gilgamesh laughed a bit, before stopping and smirked once more at a bewildered Raven

"I can tell very easily. Your magic is so strong and potent that even Caster and that mad dog Berserker probably felt it also. So my lady if you would kindly let Soundwave take some of that potent magic of yours?" Gilgamesh asked politely, but Raven could tell it was more of a passive aggressive order/ threat of death if she didn't comply

"Sure…" Raven replied as she looked to Soundwave who pulled out a small, but unsettling looking syringe "Of course, is the creepy looking needle though. Seriously like what the hell?"

"This is a normal Cybertronian syringe for the protomorphs when first born." Soundwave explained, making Raven huff a bit

"Yeah right." Raven muttered as she pointed at her neck, where Soundwave gently placed the syringe. Raven cringed as she was surprised a bit at how easy the syringe broke through her aura. Once done Soundwave took out the syringe filled with a glowing sort of essence and Raven's aura reactivated a few moments later "That was… not as bad as I thought. Now what?"

"Now we watch and see what Soundwave's little device can do." Gilgamesh answered as he simply motioned Soundwave to proceeded

"Huh?" Raven asked once more, only to see Soundwave activate a small satellite dish from the top of his head, which then began to slowly emit a purple glow at the end of said satellite dish "Oh, I guess I should have known. Why do I keep asking questions to things like this I wonder?"

"It's only natural, being in the presence of such different beings can do that to people. Even me a god amongst mere mortals. Hm… it seems my fruits of labor already are showing results. Naturally." Gilgamesh proudly stated as

Raven resisted the very wanted urge to roll her eyes at the man's continuous arrogance. But she even had to admit, that Gilgamesh's little experiment was indeed showing results, as a large portal appeared before them displaying thirteen different individuals standing around a large round table. At least most of them were humans in various clothing and armor, while the others weren't as human. One was a sack man, a second being what looked like an undead shaman, the third being a large red robot, the fourth being a half human/ squid woman and finally one human looking woman who had green skin wearing a dark rob along with a horned hat. All of these people looked to see only Gilgamesh smiling at them.

"Well then. This is a very interesting development." Gilgamesh remarked as he again patted himself on the back for his project showing quick results, though the green skinned woman quickly moved closer to the portal narrowing her eyes

"And who are you to intrude upon my council meeting young man?" Maleficent asked sternly, only for Gilgamesh to laughed a bit for just a few moments before calming down

"What an interesting woman you are. Ha, ha. It's just one thing after another with them women in these new worlds. All of them seem to have a back bone and even to dare order a king like myself around. I am so glad we we're taken away by those vermin heartless. These past two few days have be most entertaining." Gilgamesh sated as he laughed some more even, much to the green horned woman's and her councils confusing/ annoyance then stopped once more "But since you've impressed me somewhat more then most women. I will grace you with my name, I am Gilgamesh King of heroes. What about you madam, your name would be?"

"Maleficent. King of hero's you say, would you be… in league with the one's called the keyblade wielders?" Maleficent asked as she kept her narrowed glare, while the others in her council seemed to slightly tense up from the possibility. Gilgamesh for once this whole had his smile fade and form into a more serious one as he narrowed his glare back at Maleficent

"I have no idea who you speak of, what kind of people are these so called Keyblade wielders?" Gilgamesh asked curiously, as he felt like he already wouldn't already like the answer

"They are weapons of pure light, large key shaped weapons that are used to lock or unlock worlds in a sense. They have power beyond any measure. They are currently wielded by four young chosen ladies named Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. They are in a sense gods in their own rights, even if they haven't figured it out yet. For the keyblades choose only those they deemed worthy." Maleficent explained, though didn't realize her words had a much deeper effect on Gilgamesh then he was currently showing; mainly one of pure anger and hatred

"I see… so you are telling me that these four young ladies have been given god like weapons. Because they were chosen for it, correct?" Gilgamesh asked sternly as he scowled slightly while his eyes narrowed dangerously in his deep rage. Mainly on two things, one that he didn't have a weapon like the keyblade in his personal treasury and two which was the most insulting in the king of hero's own perception of Maleficents explanation, was that these weapons CHOOSE those who would wield them. The utter fact that four young girls, no… four little soon to be dead mutilated pieces of human filth were chosen for these god like weapons is what angered Gilgamesh the most. He planned on keeping theses girls keyblades and forcing the weapons to choose him to be their master. Though only after he brutally got done slowly dismembered and mutilating their four good as dead wielders. He would make them suffer a slow agonizing death and take great joy as they pleaded for their life's before ending them by cutting of their heads. Yes the idea of their slow murder was something that would give Gilgamesh a new goal in his life, aside form getting the holy grail when he can

"Yes, yes. Hm… King Gilgamesh I have a proposition if you would of course hear me out?" Maleficent asked with the best respectful smile she could muster up, already seeing that Gilgamesh and whoever else was with them truly weren't allied with the keyblade wielders if Gilgamesh's current tone of his voice from what she could guess showed anything for it. She knew this could most likely help a bit in their war against the keyblade wielder's and all who fought for them

"Then speak." Gilgamesh ordered as he was not in the best of moods anymore

"I believe if we are to eliminate these Keyblade wielders since I and my council is what we seek to do so. I say we join forces, though do not think this is me doubting your powers. But as the old saying goes, strength in numbers. So what do you say great King Gilgamesh?" Maleficent asked, using her charm and manipulative ways to sooth the big ego she could easily see coming off of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh just stared back at her for a few more tense moments, before smirking just a little

"Anyone one else asking me that would have been marked for death by me. To have the gull to ask me a god amongst men to join forces is a sentence of death. But you, I can't tell why but I feel like I should. So yes I shall accept your offer, though how will this work. Shall we speak through the portal constantly or meet at one of our bases?" Gilgamesh asked

"Hm… King Gilgamesh may I ask you to use whatever magical powers you possess. I can tell you have a connection to magic even if we're on different worlds currently. Once you do, I can use a spell that can create a portal of darkness that will connect to your location. But don't worry it can open and close any time after that, the only other thing would be to stand where you want the portal to be placed." Maleficent explained as Gilgamesh nodded simply before getting off his throne, then moved over near the center of his quarters/ meeting area

"Procced." Gilgamesh simply ordered as he opened a gate way to his treasury . Meanwhile on the other side of the still opened portal, Maleficent heard well enough. She muttered a spell under hear breath, before it quickly found Gilgamesh's location. Seconds later in front of him a dark portal opened as Maleficent and her whole council all made their way out of it if somewhat in a cautious manner on the other side of the portal. Once all out the portal closed behind the Council and maleficent. They then looked too see to see Raven and Soundwave first before looking back to see Gilgamesh

"Hm, a much better view in person." Maleficent stated with a smirk, as some of the members of both parties suddenly shivered at the obvious attempt at being flirty. Then she looked back at Raven and Soundwave, then got a little worried this was a trap. She was wondering if she should have brought Jaune with them now instead of letting him spend some time looking over his fiancé, always good to have their still growing ace in the hole with them. But Maleficent kept herself calm, looking back at Gilgamesh once more "Still you didn't' say you had guests."

"Hm I apologize for that. I didn't see Raven and Soundwave as that important to mention then." Gilgamesh remarked smirking still

-"Prick!"- Raven and even Soundwave thought as it was a slight jab to both their prides

"I see well anyways since we are guest, I formerly thank you for letting us in. I am Maleficent as I've told you." Maleficent stated proudly, then looked to her council to introduce themselves; though it was more of a stern glare then anything

"I am Jafar." Jafar said first with a quick bow "A honor to meet you King Gilgamesh."

"Captain James Hook your majesty." Captain Hook said next as he tipped his hat off to Gilgamesh

"Ha, ha hello there Goldie king. Oogie Boogie at your service ha, ha!" Oogie Boogie stated doing an amusing version of a bow, though Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow at this little act; but seemed to brush if off

"Ursula mighty King Gilgamesh." Ursula said now as she gave Gilgamesh a quick wink, though Gilgamesh ignored the slight quick flirt

"Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir of Ferelden, an honor King Gilgamesh." Loghain stated with also a bow like the some of the others, Gilgamesh already told himself he liked Loghain well enough out of the group so far

"Mumm-Ra." Mumm Ra simply stated as he held onto his wooden staff to keep himself up and to look a little more intimidating then he seemed; because of his older age

"Admiral Gunther Prozen. A pleasure." Prozen greeted this time with a two finger salute

"Baron Praxis." Praxis stated sternly as he kept his arms cross, Gilgamesh though already disliking the man, admit he had guts to stand his ground against Gilgamesh himself

"Rodrigo Borgia king Gilgamesh. Might I say it is a true honor to meet you your majesty." Rodrigo greeted with yet again another bow

"Makuta Lord of Darkness…King Gilgamesh." Makuta stated, but Gilgamesh already could tell he and Makuta were not going to get along. At least if they were left alone, they'd probably end up trying to kill each other

"Pleasure to meet you too Lord of Darkness." Gilgamesh responded back as he and Makuta glared slightly at one another. Everyone around the two could feel the tenseness, but before it could get any worse the moment was thankfully interrupted

"Who's the hot babe?" A younger boy with Silver hair asked as he looked ta Raven, while helping a girl with green hair hold up an older woman with short black hair that seemed to look like she was just out of it

"What was that?" Raven asked angrily as she was about to attack the young man, but stopped when she felt a metal clawed fingertip of Soundwave gently touch her shoulder. She looked back at the giant metal man oddly

"Do not bother, adolescent youth always show intelligible actions towards those they find more impressive then they are. This one has low self-esteem by the way he flinched seeing you about to attack, most likely feel's more inadequate in many aspects. Most likely has a secret likely to being a submissive one in a dominating relationship. Raven here most likely is what he is looking for in a dominate female companion." Soundwave explained bluntly

"Thanks…" Raven replied as she honestly didn't know if he should take that as a compliment or an insult. Though she kind of felt like it was a bit of both, kind of was hard though to tell when it came to Soundwave with his while lack of emotion in his tone or even his lack of any sort of facial expression

"He got you good Mercury." The green haired girl remarked with a smirk as the Mercury gave her an irritated glare. The girl then turned her attention to Gilgamesh who found it suddenly pretty amusing "I'm Emerald King Gilgamesh and the boy who's pride you saw just slight crushed is Mercury. The lovely women we hold up is Cinder Falls."

"A pleasure then, a pleasure to meet most of you. I'm completely assured that our alliance will-" Gilgamesh began to ask, until suddenly another dark portal. This one a dark blue opened, as the others in the cave covered face since extremely bright light shined through said portal. A few moments later the light began to slowly died down

"The hell was th-" Emerald began to ask, only to be hit hard in the stomach pushing her on the ground as she slide on it for a few moments thankful her aura took most of the blunt force from whatever hit her. Meanwhile Mercury quickly was able to stabilize himself and Cinder, while the light was dimming down much more now

"Can someone hel-" Mercury began to ask as he was having trouble keeping up Cinder since he wasn't in that stable of a position. But before he could say another word, he felt the cold barrel of a handgun pressed against his head

"Stay where you are sonny and you keep that little head of yours intact or not. Either way works for me kiddo haha!" A crazed man stated as the light died down full now and the portal closed, showing five more individuals before the group

The first was the man who was still holding up the gun against Mercury's forehead, he was somewhat taller then the average height of men were, he was also lean, with sharp features on his face. He wore a pair of nice dress shoes with some white leather around the top, a full purple suit/ purple tail coat combo, with a green dress shirt, a purple bowtie and a sunflower placed in the tail coats chest pocket. He also wore a pair of white gloves, had dark green combed back hair, a pure white face that looked way too natural or unnatural, light yellow eyes with red iris, yellowed teeth with a hint of red lipstick on his lips, and finally what made him unsettling was the wide grin of glee he wore on his face. Though the laugh this man just did, that didn't help either with the guys overall creepy factor. The group instantly gave this guy the name Smiles.

The next man, women maybe or thing behind Smiles to his right was a much larger fellow height wise and also this person was pure muscle. He or she or it since they couldn't tell until they hear it's voice. But it wore a pure black suit, though it's hands were clawed and it had a white spider symbol on it's chest. But it's face, well it's face was anything but human. It's face like the suit was covered in pure black material, at least he back and side of the head. The face, well it's eyes were pure white and it's mouth…oh god it's mouth seemed to be part of the suite as it was wide and somewhat elongated showing off a set of large very; very jagged teeth. The group gave this thing the name Jaws.

The third thing was just the Jaws as it stood next to Jaws, seeming it's was it friend or maybe just well-known acquaintance. Still just like jaws it was all covered in the same material that Jaws was covered in head to toe, but with some differences. First off this thing was more human sized, thinner but still with some muscle, had longer clawed hands, black razor sharp teeth, a black spider symbol on its chest and a few tendrils coming out of its body. Finally unlike Jaws who was pure black, this new thing was a mixture of some black but mostly blood red. The group gave this thing the name Bloody.

The fourth was indeed a man, a somewhat tall, muscular and intimating man who stood in between the Jaws and Bloody as he crossed his arms in a stern stance. He wore full plated armor that was a mixture of tough looking black leather, grey pants with the same black lather on the sides. A pair of black pauldrons, black greaves, black gauntlets, a steel metal chest piece, a black metal mouth face plate that cover the lower part of his face/ nose and a long black cape. The only thing that wasn't covered in armor upper part of his face, which showed his grey skin that had black vein's showing and blood red eyes with yellow irises. Finally on his belt was latched on a black colored cylinder. The group already knew to call this guy Grumpy.

The last was a woman, out the five she was the smallest size wise and slim. She wore a hooded sleeveless black body length suit, which went down only to her knees. She had peach skin, yellow eyes, blonde hair tied in a spikey style with two long strands extending downwards as they intertwine with each other which gave an off a caduceus snake shape. She wore no form of foot wear as they were bare along with the lower parts of her legs and she also had her toenails painted black, with yellow arrows painted on each of them. Finally on both her arms she had snake tattoos on each of them. The group called this woman, Snake lady.

It was an odd few tense moments between the group and the new- new comers. One because it felt like anyone from either side would attack the other side, which they all knew wouldn't end up with either side coming out unscathed. Second reason, well it was because of the fact Smiles still had his freaking gun pressed against Mercury's head. Now Mercury himself knew he had his aura to keep him safe at least, well he hoped. One thing that the young man had learned when it came to staying with/ dealing with other beings from multiple worlds. Nothing seemed to work off with any logic of any of the worlds. Like for example, he remembered when he was practicing with Rodrigo in a spar. Rodrigo could use his real sword with no issues at all, since it seemed that Mercury's aura barley went down from each hit. But when it came to him doing a spar with Prozen who also used a sword, he almost bleed out because it only took ten well placed hits to take down his aura. He still twitches a bit from the mostly healed wound. So for Mercury this could go either way. One he could egg on Smiles to pull the trigger and end up having the bullet barley do anything so he'd live or two. He could do the same, but instead of living he'd end up with a bullet through the head and well deader than Emerald love life.

-"Alright think, think ah what should I do. Oh wait I know, if I can get the others to work with me maybe I can…. Shit he's already pulling the trigger, shit, shit, shit!"- Mercury thought as he closed his eyes to see what would happen. But as he heard the trigger click, he didn't feel anything expect the barrel quickly moved away from his head. He opened his eyes then looked to see Smiles gun was a fake (He hoped…) and that instead of shooting a bullet, shoot out a little flag that said Bang on it sticking out of the barrel now "Ah…."

"Ha, ha, ha. Oh that was great. Haven't had a good laugh like that in a while. Kudos on you boy!" Smile laughed, then laughed and the laughed some more before seeming to calm down or at least what you could consider calm "Too good, ha."

"Excuse us, but ah… who the fuck are you?" Raven asked bluntly as she was felt like she really needed like a truck load of anything to help her with the huge headache she was getting now

"Joker little lady, Clown prince of crime." Joker happily answered as he moved up to her holding out his hand "Put it there missy!"

"Ah sure…" Raven replied as she had a feeling he wouldn't leave her alone until she did, but as she shook the clowns hands suddenly she was shocked by an electrical current. It only lasted for a few seconds and yet again Raven was so glad she had an aura as it took most of the shock. Once Joker moved his hand away, laughing some more Raven was about to attack taking out her blade; but she was stopped when she felt an invisible force hold her hands still "What the?"

"I'll ask you not to kill the clown…for now." Grumpy sternly asked as he held his hand up, before putting it back down and with that Raven felt the force around her hand go away

"Oh Malgus I knew you'd come to like me big guy!" Joker stated joyfully, though it seemed more like it an amusing teasing way then a sincere way "I feel so loved!"

"This is what it's come too… first killed by that traitor Ikail and now resurrected to deal with this." Malgus muttered in annoyance as he couldn't believe his bad luck being dragged into whatever had been going on

"So, tall dark and edgy is named Malgus. What about the rest of you?" Emerald asked as she had gotten back up, in slight pain despite how much damage her aura had taken for her. Jaws decided to answer her back first

"Venom missy." Venom simply stated as he walked up to her, sniffing her

"What are you doing beast?" Loghain asked sternly as he was ready to attack if needed

"Sorry she just smells so…good." Venom answered as he let out a long…slimy tongue that licked Emerald cheek, who herself just shuttered from the sudden contact before he retracted his disturbingly long tongue "Such nice smell, your brain much be juicy."

"Okay six words buddy." Emerald replied sternly, though trying to keep her sudden fear in as she was so glad she took her weapons with her this time and didn't leave them in her room "Stay the FUCK away from me."

"Oh I like her, I like her a lot." Bloody remarked moving behind Venom as he one of his tendrils began to go near her "Hm wonder how'd she sound being cut open from the stomach?"

"Wait what?" Emerald asked as she backed up a bit with her hands in a defensive position. Though to her surprise Makuta was the one who came to her defense, as he moved between her and Bloody

"Keep away from the girl thing or you'll be a pile of gore in a few moments." Makuta threatened, though Bloody suddenly laughed

"Ha, I like you too big guy. You got stones, Carnage big boy. I think we'll be getting along if that threat shows what kind of… robot person you are." Carnage remarked as he quickly took and shook Makuta's hand, before letting go. Then motioned Venom to follow him back near Joker and Malgus

"Thanks…" Emerald replied awkwardly, as Makuta looked at her few a few moments before moving back to the others "Weird."

"Trust me young lady, I've seen and experienced weirder." Snake Lady responded back as she gave Emerald as small smile "Are you alight dearie, did the mean old Carnage scare you?"

"I try." Carnage remarked with another laugh, while Snake lady rolled her eyes

"Ignore him." Snake lady replied back as she gave Emerald a small smile once more "Still are you alright?"

"Oh ah yeah…miss?" Emerald asked as she found that smile on Snake Lady… unsettling kind of. She didn't know why, it felt like Snake Lady had other motives for being so nice; still just for now she'd play along and she had to admit Snake Lady was kind of hot –"Seriously I think I have a fetish for older women… you know now that I think of it Raven isn't bad on the eyes either. Oh crap… I need help I think I'm this is becoming a slight addict to older women. Amazing…hot older women!"-

"Medusa young lady, oh I can already tell you and me are going to be the best of friends." Medusa stated with a friendly smile

"Okay… cool, that's sounds nice." Emerald responded back, as she felt that uneasy feeling again when she saw Medusa's smile; the feeling of danger to be exact

"I suggest we get the others in here, to establish communications between out new found allies. King Gilgamesh I will send a message to the other decepticons of the situation and have them bring the others here." Soundwave explained as Gilgamesh smiled a little, letting this quick and odd situation that just occurred pass by him like it was really nothing

"Then do so Soundwave, but tell them to make it quick. I hate to wait." Gilgamesh ordered. Before looking back to the whole entirely of the group "Now then, let's get to business…. comrades."

With that Gilgamesh and the others began to converse, while Soundwave sent out a message to his fellow Decepticons to bring in everyone else to the main HQ. These villains as some would call were getting ready for a battle or more to the fact a full on war. A war on the four young teens who were the chosen keyblade wielders. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang and their allies despite all they had faced so far. They hadn't faced the worse yet and these villains, they'd be the ones to give them a worthy fight. Both sides would meet sooner or later and once that happened, it would be an all our war of Light vs Darkness….

Four Hearts Of One Journey Ending: Fukuhara Miho - Let it out

ALRIGHT, end of the chapter and I'm taking a guess some of you or a few you have some questions. Well first off yeah I decided to take a little brake from the main story plot and go to our villains of the story. Besides you can't have great hero's without great villain's, so I wanted to show that despite this other side being our main villains, there still people… most of them and they do have daily oddities in their life's also. So yeah, I hope you all enjoyed this snippet, because I'll try to give our villain's more story time. Oh and trust me once it gets to them and team RWBY's allies meeting up, all out war is all I'm gonna say.

Also I hope I got most of the personalities right with some of the newer and new-new villain's introduced this chapter along with the past few chapters beforehand. It can be hard to keep their personalities fully (I hope) faithful without changing some things for story convenience. But either way I really do hope that I kept with the personalities well enough.

On a second to last note, I will add only a few more villains into this story. It will not be big as the Traverse Town guild. Which I hope helps cement in at least in this story how more dangerous and powerful the villains of the story will be.

Finally I don't know why, but I just wanted to address this…well just because. As some of you may notice or well most you by this point if you're caught up. But this story is getting more…darker in some cases. There is good reason for it, you see when I first wrote up chapter one of Four hearts Of One Journey. I wanted to make it different in some aspects. Now you all can see some of the differences are a lot more out there so I won't go into those. But I will say this story has some extra themes. Like facing your fears, facing your demons and facing your inner true darkness. For the girls of Team RWBY, I won't spoil anything with this; but all I will say is they will go through some horrific situations. I won't say when, but it won't be anything that effects them psychically unless it's like wounds or scars from future battles that much I can say. But when it came down to it, something I always wanted to also do in this Fanfiction is explore how the girls mentality will be effect visiting so many of these very different worlds along with meeting so many different individuals. Some of those people who may have very similar or very opposition ideologies then the girls may have. Anyways some of the worlds the girls visit will be harmless, very harmless; but others. Well as you can see with some of the worlds I decided the girls to go into later on aren't that morally correct some would say. They are going again to see some horrific stuff happen, things that most young teens/ young adults their ages should not have to see and will most likely change them. Either for better or the worse, again I won't say exactly what, but you'll all see once it gets to those points.

Anyways aside from that, I do hope you all have enjoyed this chapter and I can't wait to get to the next one so you can all experience it. So until the next chapter I wish you all to have the most amazing, wonderful days to come! : )
