BGM: Hades' Infernal Theme (Kid Icarus: Uprising)

"Time! Space! Reality! It's more than just a boring ol' linear path! It's a prism of boundless entertainment! A single choice can branch out into infinite realities and infinite amusement from yours truly! Alternate universes created from the ones that we know and love! I am Lord Hades, your handsome guide to these wonderful and boundless fun of opportunities! Follow me, if you dare… and bask in the neverending torturous question of:"

SUPER RWBY: WHAT IF?

"What If!"

End BGM

"That was rather sweet, honestly. Who knew that Weiss would have been the one to calm the savage beast? Truly, she's got the magic touch! Too bad Weiss hooked up with Neptune in the main universe, I hardly ever see 'em together!"

He let out a chuckle. "Well, regardless, we saw Jacques having a heart attack over their proposal, so it's all fair and well!" He said as he looked through the universes again before stopping.

"Hmmmm…" He rubbed his chin as he went past some universes. "I wonder how Twilight Chiaki's doing…"

He took a look, curiously rubbing his chin. "...Ah, typical. Took down the entirety of DC's villains while taking out a few Marvel villains, of course she's going stir crazy from it…"

"Hmmm… I wonder what it'd be like if she lost… seriously, perhaps a loss would humble her a bit! Let's see what happens if she does!"

What If… Twilight Chiaki (Hopefully) Lost?

"Who will be the victor!"

"Mmmm…" Chiaki lay on a couch, looking at the ceiling. She had just taken out Thanos and Darkseid, not to mention the evil folks like Joker and Two Face. To her, taking out Harvey Dent was more of a mercy killing after what he went through. Sure, he was evil, but at least he was no longer suffering in her eyes.

"Ugh… why am I no longer happy… why do I feel so empty…" She put her hands on her face and rubbed it.

She turned her head to see a crossword puzzle solving itself, but in reality, Clint was busy doing said puzzle.

Five letter word for mochi…? He wondered to himself.

"Ugh, I'm going crazy… a crossword puzzle is haunted." She mumbled as she got up and walked out of her room. She stopped as she looked at the Infinity Gauntlet on her desk. She picked it up and walked outside, feeling experimental.

She looked out the window to see a bus pulling up. "Oh… the swim team must be back." She said as the Swim Team came out, celebrating their victory. There was one girl that stood out above the rest. Aoi Asahina.

"Hmmm…" Chiaki had an idea and put her fingers together. "Disappear." She said, snapping her fingers… but she didn't turn to dust. "Hmm?" She tilted her head, looking at the Infinity Stones as she tried it again, but nothing. "Mmmmmm…" She used the Triforce to try and bullshit her way as she gave a good snap.

However, Aoi didn't even disappear as she happily chatted with her friends.

"What is going on…?" She wondered as she opened up a portal back to the Marvel universe and saw a little girl wandering around with a balloon. She snapped her fingers as the girl turned to dust.

"Ha! It still wor-... oh shit." She snapped her fingers again to bring the little girl back.

"Huh…? Wait, where'd my balloon go?" She wondered as Chiaki sweatdropped and went back into the portal with a casual whistle.

As she got back, she tried it again on Aoi who was admiring Chiaki's statue, but no avail.

"...Ugh, does it only work in that universe? The Triforce can't help them out?" She wondered before groaning. "Great, my souvenir is a paperweight! Fucking fantastic!" She took it off, had the Triforce summon a shredder specifically made for the Infinity Stones and the Gauntlet, as she tossed it in.

"Fuckin' useless…" She said, turning it on.

"It's a win in my eyes." Yelena whispered with a snicker.

"...Um, doesn't Vision need one of those?" Kate asked as they watched the shredder tear it apart until it was nothing but dust and scrap metal.

Yelena grimaced. "Der'mo…" (Shit…)

Chiaki grumbled. "I was gonna bring that swimmer back anyway…" She said as she walked off, making the shredder disappear.

"What's going on?" Clint asked as he approached.

"Well… apparently the Infinity Stones don't work in this world. They only work in ours." Yelena said.

"Heh, so they're paper weights? That's hilarious!"

"Yes, but she put them through a shredder and now it's all dust and scrap metal."

Clint grimaced. "Shit… so much for bringing Vision back…"

"Is it possible to bring him back alive without the stone?" Kate wondered.

"I'm… not sure. Maybe Tony'd find a way…" Clint said hopefully.

Chiaki looked back at her corkboard, rubbing her chin in thought. "Let's see… there's got to be something that could cheer me up. At this rate, all these villains are below me, which is probably why I'm not satisfied at all… I need to go higher…"

She looked at Thanos. "Someone much higher than you… but who would be more threatening than you…?"

She closed her eyes. "Kang? Hmmm… Magneto? Nah… Dormammu? There's an idea… but what about…"

She gasped, her eyes sparkling with hope. "I need to go beyond someone larger than Galactus! I need to take on… The Beyonder!"

"Beyonder?" Kate quietly mouthed with a raised eyebrow.

"Ha ha! Yes! Once I defeat him, I can feel satisfied even when I take on villains that are beneath me! YES! That's perfect!"

"I have got a bad feeling about this…" Fi whimpered.

"Oh, Fi… you worry too much. What's the worst that can happen~?" Chiaki giggled, opening up a portal and walking in. "Oh Beyonder~! Your day of reckoning is here~!"

"...Who names their child "Beyonder"?" Kate wondered.

"What'd I miss?" A voice asked as they turned to see America coming in with some food.

"You ever heard of someone called "Beyonder"?" Yelena asked.

"Beyonder…" America put her plate down and rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "...Nope, doesn't really ring a bell."

"I guess we can ask Strange." Kate said, pulling up her phone. "Thank goodness he put in a multiversal plan for us."


Back in the main universe…

Strange's phone vibrated as he picked it up as he was in the middle of a meditation. "Hello?"

"Hey Strange, it's us."

"How's the spying going along?"

"Well, she's getting more and more unhinged… she pretty much slaughtered Thanos by taking the Infinity Gauntlet and wishing for all the stones to come to her. She even went off to some other world and took on this guy named Darkseid, while also killing folks like Two Face, Penguin, Joker, Kiteman, Poison Ivy-"

"Wait wait wait, hold on. "Kiteman"?"

"I know, some of these names are ridiculous. Especially someone like Polka Dot Man."

"How… unique…"

"But something else caught our attention. Does the name "Beyonder" mean anything to you?"

"Beyonder…" Strange stroked his goatee thoughtfully. "No, can't say I have. No idea who that is."

"But we do~!" Deadpool suddenly chimed in. "Cable and I are familiar with this guy!"

"Did you have to drag me over here?" Cable mumbled.

"Okay, care to enlighten us?" Strange asked.

"Sure. …Hang on, let me go grab Thor and the kid, they'll want to be interested in this as well!" Deadpool took off running. "Don't start without me, Cable!"

Cable rolled his eyes, and the moment Deadpool wasn't in hearing range…

"So anyway, The Beyonder is-"


Back in the other universe…

Somewhere, in a vast and white void, a lone individual was sitting, meditating. A man that had brunette hair decked out in bright silver armor with very large shoulder pads and the symbol of omega on the torso.

This wasn't any ordinary man, for he was something else… and he had sensed someone at his presence.

"You have come a long way to be at the presence of I, the Beyonder." He got up from his position, but didn't turn around. He had no need to see who this visitor was… for he already knew who it was.

"Chiaki Nanami of Earth 9152016, also known as Twilight Chiaki."

Chiaki raised an eyebrow. "So you've heard of me then, though I don't think anyone has called me Twilight. But… it has a nice ring to it though."

"Then I am pleased to have given you a new title, one to fill your ego." The Beyonder quipped.

"You flatter me." She thanked while rolling her eyes. "But I'm not here for praise. If you have heard of me, then you know why I am here."

"Ah yes, your self proclaimed mission to erase all evil and to bring peace within your known multiverse. Quite the journey you've had, child, but it is one that is destined for failure."

"Sounds similar when I was told I would be miserable and would never be satisfied going down this path." She smugly chuckled. "M. Bison's no longer an issue after his smug response."

"Perhaps there was some truth in his words, child."

She let out a small groan. "You're not gonna lecture me too, are you?"

"There would be no point if I did. Your mind has been long poisoned by your own power. But I digress." He finally turned around to come face to face with her. "Though if I may, perhaps I could make your visit more interesting."

"I'm listening…"

"I shall allow you to make attempts to harm me, and if you succeed then I will give you greater power beyond your wildest dreams." He offered.

Chiaki's eyes sparkled with lust. "Oho, you're gonna regret those words… "Beyonder"."

"And if you fail, then you shall leave and never return." He casually put his hands behind his back. "I'll even make it easy for you. My hands are behind my back, so you will have a greater opportunity to succeed."

Chiaki snorted. "Wow, you're opening yourself up to a bitter end." She unsheathed the Master Sword, smirking wickedly.

"Mistress, I strongly advise that you turn back. I have a feeling you are out of your league."

"Oh, Fi. Relax… I know what I'm doing!"

The Triforce activated on her wrist.

BGM: Sound and Fury (Marvel's What If…?)

The One From Beyond - The Beyonder

Chiaki ran forward, swinging the sword at Beyonder… who casually side stepped to avoid the swing.

Lucky miss, whatever. No skin off her back.

She continued to swing, as he casually dodged with a taunting smile. She kept slashing at him, but every swing, he casually dodged.

"Rrrgh! Hold… still!"

She kept swinging repeatedly, even throwing in a few Skyward Strikes. She even wished from the Triforce that this would be an easy fight… yet somehow, the Triforce wasn't listening. She wanted to outbullshit him, but apparently, it was as if the Triforce wasn't working.

Her smirk vanished, instead it was replaced with an extremely annoyed scowl. She was for sure the Triforce would obey her every wish. And yet…

To make matters worse, his dodging evolved from sidestepping to outright teleporting.

"You've yet to land a hit, child." He said tauntingly.

A cross vein appeared on Chiaki's forehead. Dammit, shouldn't the Triforce be counteracting this asshole?!

A few more dodges later…

"Hah… hah… hah… come ON."

"You'll have to do better than that, child."

"I'm not a child! I'm twenty four years old and I'm going-"

Swing and a miss.

-To fuckin'-"

Swing! It was a miss.

"Rrrgh!"

Another swing and a miss.

"AUUUUUUGH! JUST HOLD STILL, DAMN YOU!" She screamed.

She took a deep breath, closing her eyes as she smirked wickedly. It was obvious that she just needed to outspeed him.

With the power of the Triforce, she summoned the Fierce Deity mask and put it on her. She immediately lunged toward him.

The Beyonder continued to dodge, but overtime, he was starting to struggle to keep up. She smirked, knowing that he was tiring. I should've done this from the beginning! She thought as she continued to swing at him, getting closer and closer to him as he was really struggling to dodge.

And then… she ran her sword through his torso.

She smirked wickedly, an evil glimmer in her eye. She's done it. She has won.

"And now you're dead."

"Are you so sure about that?" A voice whispered in her ear. She gasped, turning around and seeing someone in front of her that she thought impossible.

The Beyonder. Without a scratch.

"Wh-what…?" She turned her head to see the Beyonder that she killed was nothing more than an illusion.

"Come now, child, did you honestly think it would be that easy?" The Beyonder taunted.

The Twilight Gamer growled, slashing at him again!

…But it was another illusion.

As was the next one.

And the next one.

And the next one.

…You get the idea.

"OH, FOR FUCK'S SAKE! COME OUT AND FIGHT, YOU COWARD!"

"Are you sure you want that, child?"

"Yes!"

End BGM

"Very well." The Beyonder smirked.

BGM: "Libera Me" From Hell (Gurren Lagann)

As Chiaki prepared herself, she would start to notice the white void slowly started to turn black. Then, stars started to appear everywhere. Galaxies started to take shape. Solar systems were born. It was as if the white void had transformed into deep space.

And from where she stood, she felt a light rumble… but the rumbling increased, slowly but surely, into a massive one. So massive that it was as if the whole universe was shaking. Chiaki couldn't even stay still as she lost her balance.

"Mmmph!" She grunted, shaking her head as she looked up, seeing something that made her gasp, shocking her to her very core.

From a visible sun, the stars would move around to form an image around it; a face to be more precise. And from that face, the sun turned into an eye… but that wasn't the end of it.

The image would begin to emit cosmic power, turning it from mere constellation into a physical face. But this wasn't the end either as more began to form from the face, and soon an entire head was made, and along that head an upper body, with arms crossed over the armored torso that bared the image of omega. The lower body soon formed after.

She could not believe what she was witnessing before her very eyes as she slowly arose.

"What the hell… it's so… so…"

She was at a loss for words.

The Beyonder looked down at the intruder of his realm, smirking as he did so.

"Now do you understand the scaling between you and I?" The Beyonder questioned, already knowing the answer.

She was still at a loss for words, but she dropped the Fierce Deity Sword in the process.

"Then it appears that I am the victor." He concluded. "Now, to the victor that goes the spoils. But what should it be?"

Chiaki put away the Fierce Deity mask and picked the Master Sword up.

"You deserve nothing…"

She made a portal and went back to her home…

…Or at least, she tried to open up a portal.

"What…?"

End BGM

"Perhaps I should eliminate you? Or I could keep you here as a trophy of accomplishment. For example…"

He opened up a portal with a Yukari coming out of it.

"What…? Where am-" Her sentence was cut short before she was turned into a cup of tea.

"I am rather peckish after our duel."

Dread came over Chiaki, causing her to grimace. Oh god, what have I done…

"But what could be better, then taking what is yours?"

He raised his hand for Chiaki to see… the Triforce on his hand.

"Your eyes do not deceive you, child. The Triforce now belongs to me."

"You gotta be shitting-... no! I do not approve of this!" She said with protest. "I do… not… approve… at all…"

BGM: Re_Welcome to Despair Academy (Super Danganronpa 2)

As soon as she spoke, her mind was flooded with memories. Memories of all she had gone through.

She recalled being reincarnated to Hyrule, forming friendships with Link and Midna while they were saving Hyrule from Zant. She remembered how she returned to her world to put an end to Junko's despair, but not without her struggles. But most importantly she remembered her friends, old and new, with whom she cherished with all her heart.

Friends she locked up out of precaution of them turning on her as she had made a personal crusade to eradicate evil. Destroying the likes of M. Bison, the Space Pirates, Thanos, Darkseid, (Though she was still unaware she accidentally created Dark Kahn), Andross, Porky, Those Who Slither in the Dark, Giovanni, Dio Brando, Bowser…

Bowser.

Bowser's only real crime was kidnapping Peach and conquering the Mushroom Kingdom, but other than that, he wasn't truly evil. He was even a good father to his son, whom she took to re-educate after his father died, slain by her hands.

Now that she had thought about it, maybe she should have spared the Koopa Troop and the Wario Bros, talked things through with Claude and Edelgard instead of killing them. She could have spared N when she went after Team Plasma. She could have even tried to help remove the Mind Stone from Vision without destroying him.

And then there was everyone back home. The people of her world were grateful for what she had done to end the Tragedy before it could take full effect, but as soon as she began her mission against evil, she started to brainwash anyone who spoke against her, and brainwashed some others she felt to be a nuisance. And to think that she fed her own ego by having them worship her like some god. What she did was no better than what Junko did to her classmates. She knew that everyone was suffering…

Suffered because of her, directly or otherwise. Their cries of anguish echoed within her head.

…And then there was her alternate counterpart.

"I thought you were just a dorky gamer girl who was just corrupted by the Triforce of Power… now I know the truth… you just don't freaking CARE, do you?! You'll just paint yourself as some benevolent goddess while you sweep everything under the rug!"

"Hey, heroism is a messy business. We can't always be perfect."

"Okay, there's imperfection and then there's THIS! Look around you! Does this look like "Heroism" to you? You're not even a hero… I thought maybe you were just anti-hero but NO, this is straight up villainy!"

Realization hit her like a POW Block.

"Oh god… she was right…" She whimpered out, tears flowing down her cheeks. "I am the villain…"

"And with the Triforce gone from your clutches, your mind has now become clear. Now you are free to reflect on your sins and do what is right." The Beyonder spoke as Chiaki cried over everything that had happened…

End BGM

Only for the Beyonder to smirk.

"But where's the fun in that?"

At that moment, the Triforce returned to Chiaki, and the moment from when she lost it was completely forgotten.

"Wait, why am I crying? What's going on?" Chiaki wondered as she looked around, but quickly noticed the Beyonder towering over her. "Oh. Right. Meep…!"

"And I believe our little game is up." The Beyonder announced as he brought Chiaki to the palm of his hand. "So it is time for you to leave. So goodbye to you, Twilight Chiaki of Earth 9152016."

He brought his hand over to his mouth.

"Oh god, not like this!" She whimpered.

"Oh yes, like this." The Beyonder chuckled before it grew into a full on laughter.

"Please! Don't do this! I'm sorry for attacking! I'll do anything for you! ANYTHING!" She screamed as she fell directly towards the Beyond's mouth, all while he laughed at her humiliation.

Once he swallowed, he put his finger to his chin. "Hmm… it would appear that this encounter has altered a few histories within the multiverse. I wonder what they could be?"


Back in Twilight Chiaki's world…

"And that is the story of the Beyonder. Which I could have MENTIONED to you before if big metal dick refrained from what I asked him!"

"It would have been awkward silence, Wade. You're welcome."

"But awkward silences are the funniest of silences!"

"WAAAAAAH!"

THUD!

Chiaki landed on the ground, groaning. "Uuungh…"

She got up, rubbing her head. At that moment, her eyes trembled as she remembered Beyonder swallowing her.

She fell on her knees, clutching her head as she let out a loud shriek of agony. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

It was enough to draw attention to some students as Makoto Naegi came running over. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked.

"I… I lost… I.. I don't even know how I'm even ALIVE."

"Oooof, a villain beat ya?" Makoto grimaced. "I'm sure you'll get 'em next time. Don't worry about it. We can't always beat a villain on the first go." He said with a friendly smile.

…That's what he said.

What she heard?

"Ooof, a villain beat ya?" Makoto grinned tauntingly. "Well, that's too bad. It seems you're nothing but a fraud. I always knew you were pathetic, but you lost to someone you could have beaten so easily. Why would anyone want to bow to you, you fraudulent bimbo?"

"You… you son of a bitch…"

Chiaki slowly rose.

"Huh? Was it something I said? Let's just take a deep breath. I'm sure-"

"SILENCE!"

Chiaki grabbed Makoto by the throat, her grip tightening.

BGM: Opening (Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity)

"I never thought you'd stoop so low, Naegi… I thought YOU would be the one who'd see things my way…"

"Wh-what are you talking… about…?" Makoto asked, trying to pry her death grip off of him. "I-I'm on… y-your si-side… my… qu-queen!"

"YOU LIE! You're not supportive at all… I know your true colors… YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A LIAR, NAEGI!"

"I… I don't know what you're-"

"You pathetic brute… you're nothing but a VILLAIN!"

"A vil-villain?! Why are you-... I was just giving words of encoura-"

The Master Sword was plunged into his chest, the sword going through him as it came out on the other side. Makoto's eyes widened in shock and pain as she removed the sword from his chest… and when she released him, she swung the Master Sword through his neck, instantly beheading him as blood splattered everywhere, including her face.

Makoto's body dropped to the ground as onlookers shrieked in horror while the heroes looked on in disbelief, America and Kate had their hands over their mouths in horror while Yelena and Clint had their mouths dropped open.

"WELL, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT? PISS OFF!" She yelled at the onlookers as they ran away in terror. "Ugh… I need a shower…" She dropped the Master Sword and headed off to the shower... while at the same time, images of Weiss appeared in Chiaki's head. "AAAGH! WHY IS SHE BACK IN MY HEAD?!"

In a flash, Kate shoved her phone into Yelena's hands as she ran over to the Master Sword.

"What's going on over there?" Strange demanded. "Yelena, can you hear me?"

"Fi, what's going on? What happened?" Kate asked as she was by her side.

"I… I am not sure… we faced the Beyonder and he horribly beat her. To make matters worse, he swallowed her and now… now I am not sure if she can tell who is friend or foe… oh gods… she made me kill an innocent bystander…"

Kate's eyes widened, unaware of Kyoko having witnessed the entire thing as she was hiding behind a wall. The sight of Makoto dying was enough to make her angry, yet she was curious as to why Fi was talking to herself.

"Do you mean…" Kate whispered.

"I… I… I think every single innocent benevolent person here… is in grave danger…"

Kate sat down in shock, her hand over her mouth with horror in her eyes.

"...Oh god…"

"Aaaand I'm just gonna leave this here. Who knew losing to the Beyonder would make her even more unhinged? Until next time!"


The fight between Twilight Chiaki and The Beyonder was made by none other than Wyvern!

Ibuki: Ooooh shit, she's even more deranged!

Deadpool: Now would be the perfect time to panic!

Oh, and don't worry, the Beyonder is just gonna be a one time thing.
