Opening File: Moonlanders
The Moonlanders are aliens who live in the Moon city of Tranquility. The Moonlander culture revolves around the use of gold for basically everything from technology to building material and clothing. They have so much gold that they throw it into the garbage that ironically is also made out of gold.
They all think that the Moon is a planet. Most of their population seems to be civilians and doesn't have necessity to fight.

Opening File: General Lunaris
General Lunaris is a male Moonlander and a general of the hidden city of Tranquility on the Moon. His father was the previous general who hid the Tranquility City from the Earth, fearing they would be invaded if discovered. Lunaris grew up frustrated with his father's way of living in hiding from the inhabitants of Earth. Lunaris watched Earth for a very long time, witnessing many important events, including mankind's struggle against the Grimm.
He discovered the former Gem base on the moon and decided to make it into his own personal headquarters where he could monitor almost any place on Earth to learn more about the planet and its people. He also made contact with the Hunter's Guild and agreed to allow them access to the Gem technology but on the condition they would not take anything that would damage the base. The bounty hunters were allowed to study the Gem technology and make a profit from anything they could make off of it and in exchange Lunaris would be allowed to hire them for anything since studying the Moon Base was their main form of payment. Lunaris learned much of Earth's history and he even learned their fighting styles from watching its warriors.
He eventually trained himself in their warrior arts and even fashioned his own golden weapon for the day when he would make the Earth fear the moon.

Opening File: Buttercup
Buttercup is one of the Powerpuff Girls and is the sister of Blossom and Bubbles. Being the toughest of the group means her aggression gets the better of her, making her a little reckless, impulsive and stubborn. She is known to be prideful and won't back down from a fight. She won't surrender either, even when clearly outmatched. She is very competitive and wants to be the best in anything she does.
She is also the rudest of her sisters, being rather sarcastic, frequently mocking opponents, and sometimes mean spirited, even towards her own sisters. She also has a softer side; she once had a soft green blanket that she was obsessed with that she would hug that gave her the confidence to be a better fighter. She is quite protective over her sisters. Fight crime and become a hero was her idea as well, an idea she got after being up a giant evil gorilla.
She is a true tomboy and dislikes anything girly, although this doesn't translate in her clothing style. She was last reported to have apparently run away from home and vanished with a bunch of kids on a trip to the fabled Pleasure Island.

"The one thing you can expect when moving into a populated area such as a city, suburb or even onto a lake is that you will have neighbors. Everyone handles living together whether sharing a house or street in their own ways. Some neighbors often have little parties, inviting everyone there as a way to socialize, get to know each other and maybe even make lifelong friends. Of course some people don't like socializing or even meeting other people." TOM said as the file closed. "Those people are the kind that literally build walls around their homes and themselves, refusing to make contact and can be rather miserable the few times when speaking with them. They don't want anything to do with others and they would go to extreme lengths to do it, even trespassing on other people's property in a hypocritical manner to get the point across. For that, I say don't let them drag you into their misery and leave them to wallow in it. Don't stop trying to be a friend to everyone who needs one and show that you can rise above the misery and hate of others."

"Welcome to the Moon Sentinel Tower." The man stated with a smile, rising from the throne and placing his hands behind his back. "I am Lunaris of the planet Shattered Moon."
The Gems along with Connie and Steven stared at the strange man standing before them. As he stood up the Gems and their human charges realized how tall he was, even towering over Garnet at seven feet tall.
Just about the same height as Rose Quartz.
He wore no shirt over his muscular chest but wore a golden cloak that gave him the look of a warrior and a leader.
"Planet? You mean the moon?" Steven suddenly questioned.
"Yes. You call it the Shattered Moon but my people call it Planet Lunar." The man known as Lunaris stated with absolute belief in the fact that he believed the moon was a planet and the look in his eyes said no one could convince him otherwise. "And I see you've already met the Foo-Foos that guard this place."
"Guard this place? But this is a Gem base." Pearl replied, even though it was technically an abandoned Gem base.
"Typical Gem arrogance you think you're above everyone you don't even bother checking to see if any life forms took up residence in your abandoned base." One of the Foo-Foos said. "If you had you would've known that the Hunter's Guild has an outpost on this moon, so anyone could find this place."
"So who do you think we should cash their shards to boss? I hear that Eliksni mob boss, The Spider will pay any currency. I'm talking Glimmer, Krystons, Taydens, you name it. I even heard a rumor that he eats Gem shards."
"What?" Steven exclaimed with widened eyes while the rest of the Gems pulled out their weapons.
"There will be no fighting here." Lunaris stated sternly, raising his hand and the Foo-Foos seemingly backed off. "You'll have to forgive them. They don't have a high opinion of Gems."
Slowly and reluctantly the Gems lowered their own weapons but did not dismiss them in case a fight truly broke out.
"Now then, allow me to explain who I am and why I am here. Follow me." Lunaris gestured for the group to follow him to the room below the top control room.
Reluctantly the Gems followed him as he walked over the orb and placed his hand on. Suddenly the entire room changed, showing an entirely new location…
"Is this…Beach City?!" Steven gasped, seeing the familiar surroundings of his room. "But we're on the moon!"
"Indeed. This is an observation orb. It was used by the Gems here to monitor their activities on the Earth when it was still a viable choice for a colony." Lunaris stated, showing many different locations. "This place was discovered by my people a long time ago and I made it into an observation outpost for monitoring the Earth. It's allowed me to learn much about your world and its people."
The images stopped to show various people fighting against the Grimm.
"Including your struggles with these Creatures of Grimm." Lunaris finished, deactivating the sphere. "I even learned much of the Gem history on this world. Though even though the sphere cannot record the history it observes I still gleaned much from the data files left in the control room. Such as the ones who masterminded the colonization."
A moment later they were in the bottom chamber, staring at the murals of the Diamonds.
"The Diamonds, leaders of the Gem Empire, the matriarchs of the Gem race and the unquestioned rulers of the Gem Homeworld. There is Blue Diamond, enforces of Gem law," Lunaris pointed to the mural of Blue Diamond and the pointed to the yellow one. "Yellow Diamond, leader of the Gem Empire's armies and military forces."
He then pointed to the white one. "White Diamond, the head ruler of the entire empire."
Steven stared at the mural of White Diamond, feeling a sense of foreboding from it.
"And last but not least, the one in charge of Earth's colonization," Lunaris pointed to the pink mural. "Pink Diamond."
Pearl's hands went to her mouth while Garnet remained stoic while Connie threw a nasty look at them.
"I heard much about her from the Gem database. The youngest of the Diamonds and that Earth was going to be her first colony before her own subjects rebelled against her." Lunaris continued. "Though of course the records seem to end not long after it started."
"I can fill you in." Connie stepped forward, glaring openly at the Crystal Gems. "Her own subjects, the so-called Crystal Gems led by their leader Rose Quartz infiltrated the Moon Base, blowing the doors open that sucked Pink, Blue and Yellow Diamond out into space as part of their plan to ambush and shatter all three Diamonds by forcing them into the Earth's atmosphere, hoping the impact would be enough. It was enough for one while the other two survived."
Steven's eyes widened in shock, looking in disbelief at Garnet and Pearl, who was shivering violently as she kept her mouth covered. "No! Rose Quartz would never do that!" He started to tear up. "A-And, sure, she had to fight but- but she would never shatter someone!"
"But she did!" Connie shouted angrily. "She tried to kill all three Diamonds. When Blue and Yellow reformed they found her shattered remains in the very crater Rose Quartz left them in. She couldn't beat them in the battlefield so she tried assassinating them but when that plan failed it only galvanized Blue, Yellow and the rest of Homeworld to continue the fighting in her name."
"You are wrong." Garnet spoke loudly. "Even if Rose wanted to at the time we did not have access to any ships and there is no Warp Pad here. How could she have managed to sneak all the way here and take all three Diamonds by surprise?"
"She obviously found a way." Connie retorted. "You rebels had plenty of allies with you back then."
"The Asgardians couldn't have brought us here. The Bifrost would have been detected." Garnet pointed out.
"Then why don't you explain what happened then if you are so sure. Did Rose even tell you what happened?" Connie questioned.
Garnet was silent for a second. "She…She never said anything about what happened. She said she planned on asking Pink Diamond one last time to end the colonization on Earth."
"Sounds like she decided on something else then." Connie scoffed.
"She wouldn't do it!" Steven argued. "She saw beauty in all living things, even in other people. That's why would she would do it!"
"Apparently she didn't see enough in her own Diamond." Connie faced Steven with an angry face. "She was not only a traitor and shatterer but it's her fault that Earth has the Cluster to start with. So thank you, Rose Quartz for killing everyone."
"She fought for you and everyone!" Steven shouted.
"She fought for herself! We were just collateral damage in the war she started. As long as she was able to do what she wanted she'd have shattered not just the Diamonds but every Gem in the Empire who refused to be like her. She's the reason the Cluster is buried in the Earth right now so she pretty much doomed us all from the start." Connie argued back. "Why do you think Homeworld hates this planet so much? Why do you think we still hate Rose Quartz? It's because she made everyone suffer by shattering the one Diamond who couldn't even fight back. That's the kind of leader she was."
Garnet reached out to grab her but Connie pulled out her sword, pointing it at fusion's visors. "Back off, fusion or I'll slice both of you to bits."
Before anyone could do anything the Foo-Foos had their weapons out and trained on the group again.
"Please, everyone. There is no need for this to escalate into violence." Lunaris held up his hands as he attempted to calm everyone down. "I apologize for bringing up such a sensitive subject for everyone. Let me make it up to you. You want something from this place, yes?"
Connie lowered her sword once she saw Garnet step back. "We need access the base's data files on something called the Cluster."

"Wow. They really put the place back together."
The Sparring Arena looked brand new, as if the damage caused by Agunimon and Scotty's battle never happened to begin with. Already everyone was back at their seats while Agunimon stepped and sat with his fellow Legendary Warriors, looking absolutely fine despite the battle he had just been through.
"That's Living Bullet for you." Valhallen smiled in reply at Yara's surprised comment. "Barely took him five minutes to put it all back together. You'd be surprised how often this happens."
"Especially with Krunk involved." Tikki-Torch replied.
"So, almost everyone from another world has been up bat. All except for three." Rino glanced at Raven and then at Kazemon and Lowemon. "What are the odds one of you guys is up next?"
"Pretty high likely." Raven answered. "You guys really want to see what we can do, don't you?"
"Considering who we are going up against we'd feel better if you guys can hold your own." Valhallen replied. "The points of these matches are to push you to the very limit."
"To be fair, almost all of us where there during the fight with that demon god thing." Rino remarked.
"And you survived which is a good thing. Means you guys aren't helpless but that doesn't mean you are invincible. Believe it or not even if Crom Cruach was a god he was just the beginning when it comes to the jobs we have." Valhallen replied.
Omnimon remembered his battles with other formidable opponents such as General Skarr, Katz, Blue Diamond, Gentle-Jim, Boris and Crom, understanding what Valhallen was talking about. It was true. This world had its share of very powerful people and it was more than likely that more would come before they all had a chance to return home. This was true with the other displaced members in the audience.
For Raven she knew the dangers of being a hero and had faced her share of dangerous enemies: Slade, the HIVE, Brother Blood, the Brotherhood of Evil and even her own father Trigon.
For the Legendary Warriors they did indeed understand where Valhallen was coming from.
The same for Artemis and Connor having faced the Light and various other villains in their own world.
That was the point of these spars.
They needed to see where they stand with the enemies they are likely to face when going after Van Kleiss who was not going to be alone.
He would have help from the Fallen, likely including Sammael.
Omnimon, Agunimon, Kazemon and Lowemon had already encountered Sammael at least once and they had a very good idea of how powerful and dangerous he was.
Raven encountered Sammael once and almost died at his hand while Artemis and Connor had been there right alongside her.
They needed to be as strong as they possible could for the upcoming battle.
The dashboard activated, sorting through random names before landing on the next two:
Raven verses Lowemon
"Well, that's new." Keanu commented. "I would have thought all the newbies would be facing off someone on the home team."
"It's been programmed at random." Major Glory replied. "There's nothing wrong with our new friends facing each other instead of one of us."
Raven and Lowemon glanced at each other, both sensing the familiar power of darkness emanating from both.
Lowemon could see that Raven was no ordinary teenage girl and she was holding a great power inside her. Raven on the other hand sensed darkness from Lowemon but no malice in it. Oddly she felt a shade of warmth emanating from him.

"I have so much but I could have gained so much more." Van Kleiss lamented at the loss of gathering more data from inside the Hall of Heroes.
It did not matter if he had drones all over the world collecting more data. The data he gained from the single fight was enough for his research to leap forward beyond even what he had imagined.
Standing up from his main desk he walked over to a stasis pod and looked inside. "Still, I can make do with what I have gained."
Inside the pod was none other than Buttercup of the Powerpuff girls.
(Flashback)
Buttercup had been watching in stunned silence through the entire fight and gasped in horror as Fusilli was turned into a puppet by his own masks like he did with the Gangreen Gang. Billy walked up to the now puppet Fusilli and reached into his cape, pulling out some kind of talisman before placing it onto the floor and smashing it under his foot. Fusilli was then suddenly pulled up into the mouth of the sad mask and in a flash of light he was gone.
A second later the masks shattered, leaving nothing but a dusty cloud that fell upon the stage while the puppet Gangreen Gang reverted back to their normal selves.
"W-What happened?" Buttercup asked.
"He made a pact with the spirits that were converting his victims into puppets. However since he could not feed them anymore because of what he had become they took him into their world as payment." Billy answered. "Looks like a messy end for the Great Fusilli. But that's what happens when you don't eat all your vegetables."
Buttercup just stared. "…What?"
Billy pulled out a tablet and made a call. "Fusilli has been neutralized. Get a containment team here on the double and collect all evidence. I will also need transportation arranged for the kids to be taken back to their families with their minds of Pleasure Island wiped."
"Understood."
"Hey, I am not getting my mind wiped!" Buttercup snapped as she marched up to Billy who pulled out a strange device. "Hey! I'm talking to you-"
She remembered seeing a flash of red light before blacking out.
Billy put the device away and held up his tablet. "That was nothing. Just a girl getting emotional. No one of concern."
Once Billy was gone, a portal opened and Buttercup was pulled into it.
The girl had rested peacefully in the stasis pod ever since. Van Kleiss had not done much to her, finding the absorbing cells of AMAZO perfect enough to scan her biology. There was no need to mutate her into an EVO, especially since doing so would make her even more powerful and more dangerous. Van Kleiss was not about to let her out, even if her memories had been suppressed until he was more powerful than she ever could be.
Still it left room for an idea he had.
He had studied the effects of Aura by having his own awakened and believed he could use it to create…life.
Van Kleiss Recording 1001:
Project: Bell
After having using AMAZO to scan the subject known as Buttercup down to her atomic structure I have been able to map out her advanced genetic abilities for me to put another project into the works. I am a man of science, I have always been for it is my passion and it's allowed me to create life unlike any other. I am always looking for ways to expand my knowledge though as there are many questions that still need to be answered. Aura is a form of energy no different from any other whether conjured by science or magic.
Aura is power of the soul and the soul is what gives the body the ability to literally live, the energy that wills the body to live and allows the body to carry on the person's desires.
The man stood patiently as robotic arms worked away at constructing a small body. Nanites flooded the tank the body was placed in, altering the body to mimic that of a human being with its arms held above its head by metal bindings and its feet were kept in place by clamps. Van Kleiss looked at the screen and nodded in satisfaction at the progress.
Using the same nanites that make up the body of AMAZO and the advanced knowledge of cybernetics I now possess I have been able to create a near perfect replica of the Powerpuff Girls but where as they were a scientific accident this one and hopefully the ones that will come after will be the result of scientific precision. It is easier than I thought to find a way to create a true being. I have already begun creating the body of my greatest creation based on the research done by fellow men of science. The next part comes from my own Aura…
Van Kleiss emits a yellow Aura around his body as the robotic arms attach to him…
It is to be done through the newly created Link System. By using what known science there is to Aura I have created a link to my new creation that will allow for me to impart of piece of my own Aura into it, allowing for life to be born. Obviously I cannot do this many times but if all goes right I will not need Aura at all. The AMAZO android will transform into something that will allow for me to exist, even without the need of Aura.
The Link can only work for a short time as a soul is not meant to leave the body for long periods of time unless the body is deceased but I have calculated that it will work long enough for me to leave the piece needed behind for my newest creation.
Van Kleiss watched as the tank opened and out of it fell a girl who looked around ten years old with long white hair and a white dress. The girl fell into the man's arms and he gently lifted her up.
The girl opened her eyes, showing them to be soft white as she looked up at the man. "…Daddy?"
The project for the most part is a complete success. The girl I have created not only looks like a real being but she acts it, for a ten year old girl anyways. Her personality is mostly that of a shy and reserved girl, who latches onto me when we are not alone, afraid of Biowulf and Skalamander. The body is that of a cybernetic human based off of three girls that have become renowned heroes in this world while the soul is an energy source that will keep her alive forever.
I cannot wait to see just how far my efforts have gone in creating this girl…I have just begun to realized I have not only come to think of the being I created as a child but I have even begun to refer to it as 'her.' If I am going to think of her as my daughter I believe it appropriate that I name her as well. I believe I shall call her…Bell.

"There it is. The Nowhere Mountains."
Rex could not believe it had taken them so long to reach this place but Nowhere Kansas was a vast land with almost nothing in it…
No wonder it was called Nowhere.
"So how do we find Van Kleiss?" Rex turned to his partner and friend, Agent Six.
"We'll to search the mountains but knowing Van Kleiss he will realize we are here and send…friends to greet us."
"Sounds like him." Rex smirked.

"Here it is."
Steven and the Gems watched as Lunaris brought up coordinates for the Cluster. "Where is this?"
"A place called the Beta Kindergarten in Facet Nine. I believe you humans call it the Grand Canyon." Lunaris answered. "According to this the Cluster is embedded into the Earth at about 2,500 units down."
"Now all we need to do is feed the coordinates to the drill and mission complete!" Pearl smiled.
"Yeah, team!" Steven cheered.
"Great. Let's get the heck out of here." Amethyst said before walking off with Garnet and Pearl.
"Unfortunately…" Lunaris snapped his fingers and the surrounding Foo-Foos aimed their weapons at the Gems and their human charges again. "I cannot allow you to leave."
"What?!" Steven stepped back as the Gems and Connie pulled out their weapons in reaction to the sudden hostilities. "Why?"
"Allowing you to leave would mean you would be able to save the Earth." Lunaris said like it was simple. "And I cannot allow that for Earth is the enemy."
"The enemy?" Steven questioned, now confused. "But, we didn't even know you existed and that there are people on the moon."
"Yes, a precaution made by my father. He insisted our city remain on the dark side of the moon where we could not be seen, fearing that if Earth ever knew of our existence they would invade us." Lunaris explained with his voice and face turning dark now. "I spent my childhood watching as he made us live in fear of you and your kind. I cannot forgive you for making us feel fear, not when it's painfully clear that you have been the ones living in fear the whole time."
"Dude, what are you saying?" Amethyst said, lashing her whip out to keep a Foo-Foo back.
"I am saying that Earth should be trembling before the Moon, the Shattered Moon they created." Lunaris was now snarling. "Your world is whole while ours is broken. You say your world is a planet while ours is not even though we live on it. Thankfully now that you are here, having brought a ship we can use that is all about to change. We can use it to build a fleet to evacuate our people and leave you and your…puny planet to die." Lunaris grinned. "Oh yes. I believe letting you go is the last thing I want to do."

Raven and Lowemon were now facing each other in the Sparring Arena as the screen activated, sorting through various terrain settings at random before making their choice with one showing trees and another being a tidal wave. The arena shifted with trees and a grassy field appeared on Raven's side while sandy beach with actual water making up a small lake appeared on Lowemon's side.
"And here we go." Capital G said once the arena was finished. "The next round between Raven of the Teen Titans and Lowemon of the Legendary Warriors. And…GO!"
