TW: Thanks for the review, glad it was nicely done. When did Talia take Rubicon? I haven't even mentioned Rubicon in the story once. I clearly mentioned its a chip with fighting styles of the world's best fighters downloaded into it. Not sure how you could get the two mixed up when one's not even mentioned in the story so far.

Gallifrey 22.3: Thanks for the review, glad it was fantastic.

Chapter 10- Some confrontations

Earth-84

Son Goku stood in horror while holding the 'Sleeping Princess' jewel in his hand, Good Launch lying behind him in confusion.

Count Lucifer was standing in front of them, his army of Demons behind him.

But what was really concerning was the fact that he had Krillin held up by one arm, the young monk struggling against the Devil.

The two had been sent by Master Roshi, whom they wanted to train under, to find the legendary and beautiful 'Sleeping Princess', and bring her to him, after which he'd train whoever brought her to him.

But, eventually, after entering this castle, they'd found out the 'Sleeping Princess' was not a woman, but a jewel instead, that this Count Lucifer planned to use for nefarious purposes.

"Give me the Sleeping Princess back or I'll rip his head off", Count Lucifer said with a smirk. Goku looked between it and him in hesitation, before he asked. "Well?" He pressed Krillin's throat tighter, the boy smacking his arm to no effect.

Good Launch gasped in horror.

"I really hate it when people use my name."

Everyone turned to see a tall, handsome man in a suit, wearing a very charming smile on his face. If Bulma Briefs was in the room, she'd be head over heels for this man already.

Count Lucifer looked and sounded charming yes, but this man seemed to have perfected the art of charm.

"Who are you?" Count Lucifer snarled.

"I am Lucifer bloody Morningstar, and I could hear you using my name all the way to the other side of the breach, it really brassed me off", Morningstar said, confusing Count Lucifer and the rest, when suddenly a pair of white wings sprouted from Morningstar's back, to the awe of everyone.

"Are those…?" Goku pointed at the wings.

Then, Morningstar was suddenly right in front of Count Lucifer, and he whacked the Count's hand, making him drop Krillin, who started coughing, while Count Lucifer glared in anger.

"I'm going to kill you", Count Lucifer snarled as he flew back by a bit, then aiming his right hand, started firing red rapid fire ki blasts.

Morningstar suddenly disappeared from his sight again, then appeared above him, kicking him right on the face a he was thrown back, bleeding from the nose.

"You…." Count Lucifer roared, then fired ki blasts with both hands, which Lucifer Morningstar managed to avoid by disappearing once more, and now he was behind Count Lucifer, kicking him hard in the back and sending him flying forth, falling on his face.

The other Demons started marching towards him, only for him to karate chop one out, before kicking another away by many feet.

As they watched, his wings disappeared, and he smirked at them while his eyes went red and his face turned deformed, looking scarier than any of them did.

Seeing that, they all fell to their knees in terror, while the satisfied Morningstar turned to see Count Lucifer trying to pick himself up.

His face becoming normal, he sprouted his wings once more, while Count Lucifer turned around with an angry grunt.

"Now you shall die, and then I'll fulfill my plan", Count Lucifer declared, preparing a giant red energy ball attack to hurl at Morningstar.

As soon as he was prepared to throw it, Morningstar used his speed to appear right in front of him while turning his hand the other way, and the blast hit his own Demons instead, destroying them now.

"NOOO!" Count Lucifer cried out, only for Lucifer to grab him by the throat and throw him down, before pinning him down with his foot, while he continued to whine. "You can't do this to me! I have been trying to fulfil this plan for years! NOOO!"

"Umm, who are you mister?" Goku asked Morningstar.

"Lucifer Morningstar at your service", Morningstar said with a bow. "And like I said, I am the real one. Now, what is it you desire?"

As if in a trance, Goku replied to Morningstar. "I want to wish for the world's biggest meal ever."

"Seriously? That's it?" Krillin asked in shock.

"I like food, Krillin", Goku told him, as they saw Lucifer take out some weird cube that he started turning.

"Now, now, I won't deal with you personally, but you'll wish I had", Morningstar told the whining Count Lucifer, as the place seemed to shake, and a tall being in some sort of black leather fetish suit and pins all over his head appeared.

"WHAT?" Count Lucifer cried out in horror as Morningstar stepped off of him.

"Lucifer", the being greeted him.

"Pinhead", Morningstar greeted him back.

"Why have I been summoned by you?" Pinhead inquired, getting straight to business.

"This sod is ruining my name, like many others, his whining could be heard across breaches, deal with him please!" Morningstar simply said.

Pinhead looked at the terrified Count Lucifer and said. "We have such sights to show you."

He looked at Goku, Krillin and Good Launch. "This isn't for your eyes."

Then, a hooked chain pierced Count Lucifer's right hand as he yelled in pain, before another pierced his back, then another pierced his left hand, followed by his legs being pierced, and then the entirety of his body was pierced by hooked chains as he hung, screaming in agony.

"THIS…CAN'T….BE!"

And then, the chains ripped him apart, his blood splattering, Goku and Krillin watching in horror while Good Launch started crying.

Goku was more disgusted by the pins than the brutal death though, and asked Pinhead. "Sir, why do you have pins stuck to your head?"

Pinhead looked at him neutrally, then shared a nod with Lucifer before disappearing, as Lucifer said. "Now my work is done as well."

With that, he was gone too, as Krillin then asked. "What just happened?"

Hell

Lucifer Morningstar was back in Hell and was about to sit on his throne, when he heard another breach being crossed before someone cried out behind him. "ARE YOU LUCIFER?"

He turned around to see someone in Crusader armor and helmet, a tapestry in the shape of a cross sewn to his body with various events depicted inside it, while he carried a scythe.

"That'd be me", Lucifer shrugged.

"FOR BEATRICE!" The Crusader cried out, trying to charge Lucifer, when his wings appeared and he was then behind the Crusader instead.

"Ah, another Dante Alighieri! You're the third in this week", Lucifer groaned, making Dante Alighieri turn to him. "For the last time, I am not the Lucifer who took your Beatrice."

"What?" Dante Alighieri asked in confusion, when Morningstar grabbed him by the back of the neck and aimed him at a breach.

"Please kill the one who took Beatrice as brutally as you can for me", Morningstar said, then hurled the screaming Dante Alighieri back through the breach he'd stepped from, sending him back to whichever Hell Dimension he had been in before, to continue his quest.

"Bloody this place!" Lucifer said before sitting down on his throne, before hearing a flutter.

He looked up to see his brother Amenadiel standing before him.

"Hello brother", Lucifer greeted, Amenadiel nodding.

"These breaches are getting worse, are they not, brother?" Amenadiel asked.

"Like you have no idea", Lucifer said with another groan. "I had Pinhead deal with another loser using my name. And the third Dante Alighieri just popped up a few seconds before you came."

"All of these crossings…they are quite concerning", Amenadiel noted grimly.

"I know", Lucifer agreed. "Detective and the rest are not facing anything like this though, are they?"

"Not so far", Amenadiel assured as Lucifer sighed in relief.

"Good, that's good."

Earth-199999, Bowie, Arizona

John Rambo hid up in the tree, his arrow aimed downwards, the former Green Beret not moving even once.

There was a creature in this place that had not been seen before. It was hunting people, killing them, and even harvesting their organs or something.

So Rambo had decided it was time to take on it.

After a whole lot of hunting, Rambo had found the creature, which seemed to be some kind of Monster wearing a tattered, 19th-century duster, a wide-brimmed Stetson hat, and tattered trousers to pass for human, as well as a red sweater, while having bird-like talons. Its skin was dark green and scaly, and it also had razor sharp teeth and claws.

Overcoming his shock, Rambo had fired at it with his gun, but it had been unaffected, or deflected with its ax, and attacked him, while also using a throwing star to disarm him of his gun, making it fall down. With his gun gone, Rambo had managed to fight back using his knife against the creature's ax, though it had sliced him up at a few points, and even given him a limp, as well as a bad black eye, but Rambo had distracted it by a flare to the face, and retreated.

Now, he had torn a piece of his bloodied clothing, and thrown it down, while he lay in wait.

Eventually, the creature finally appeared, having tracked him via scent. And at that moment, Rambo released the arrow.

The creature looked up as the arrow struck it in the throat, and it growled, while about to throw the ax at Rambo, only to feel something as its eyes widened.

Rambo smirked. The creature had finally encountered someone who didn't just not fear it, but was also better at hunting than itself.

The creature tried to pull the arrow out, only for it to explode, blowing the creature into bits as well.

"Mission accomplished", Rambo simply muttered.

Later

Rambo was back at his horse ranch, limping, when he saw Phil Coulson and Melinda May waiting for him.

"To what do I owe this visit?" Rambo simply inquired, not knowing who they were, or caring for the matter.

"We have heard about sightings of a strange predatory creature in the area", Coulson told Rambo.

"Too late, its gone now", Rambo shrugged as he limped past the two, as they shared a look.

"Considering who he is, that was expected", Melinda whispered to Coulson, who nodded in affirmation.

They knew who John Rambo was, and what he was capable of. But unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't be asking the man to come out of retirement, because he had earned it.

"Well, I think we might need to collect its bits", Coulson finally said. "It might be useful for us, as we don't know much about this creature."

Middle-earth

Gandalf had not heard from Strider in days, and knew something had happened to him. He just hoped it was not something terrible, otherwise all hope in Middle-earth would be lost.

He knew of the strange blue things around, which seemed to have opened up everywhere.

Suddenly, he heard something, and turned around to see another opening up in front of him.

While he would be wary of stepping into something like that, Gandalf felt something like warmth from the other end of the portal, a feeling of peace and contentment, almost as if he was once more in the Land of the Valar.

So, he walked through the portal, and found himself in a land full of greenery that seemed to never end, while in front of him was a great and majestic Lion.

But what he felt from it, Gandalf knew this was no tame lion.

"Well met, Gandalf Greyhame", the Lion greeted the Grey Wizard. "I am Aslan."

"Well met, Aslan", Gandalf responded with a respectful bow, having an idea of who this was before him. "I believe you have summoned me here."

"I have, Grey Wizard", Aslan told him neutrally. "You look for the one who is to unite the forces and be King."

"Indeed, Great Lion", Gandalf nodded. "If he is lost, all hope for Middle-earth is lost with him."

"I can assure you, that where he is, he is safe", Aslan revealed, and hearing it from this being's mouth, Gandalf felt relieved at last. "However, Middle-earth is not the only world that needed his help."

"What do you mean?" Gandalf inquired. For once, he did not have the answers.

"Pathways have been opened, to many worlds", Aslan said. "And he is in one of these worlds, for some people need him. But soon, he shall return. Because many worlds are going to require many Champions."

"This is worse than what I had believed before, is it not?" Gandalf asked grimly.

"It is, very much so", Aslan noted. "However, hope remains as long as those who are good hold true to each other. This other world where he went shall need you too in time. And like I said, many worlds are going to need their Champions soon."

"I shall prepare for this, Great Lion", Gandalf told him sincerely.

"We shall meet again, Grey Wizard", Aslan said, and then, Gandalf was back in Middle-earth.

But he knew what he had seen. And while many dreaded things were about to happen soon, in this moment, he was comforted.

And another chapter is done.

For 'Lucifer', the first four Seasons of the show have happened, and nothing after that is canon. Since 'Lucifer' is on Earth-1 here again, imagine the Seasons happened from 2011 to 2015, and since Earth-1 was mostly normal (at least publicly) until the meta-human stuff, it'd make sense that people like Chloe Decker have a hard time believing in what Lucifer says.

Anyways, 'Dragon Ball' is here too, and this was from the film 'Dragon Ball: Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle', which is not canon, but its supposed to be an alternate take on how Goku's and Krillin's training under Muten Roshi began, and how they met Launch, so we can pretend this is how that part went down in my story, while the rest will happen the same as in the actual anime.

Plus Lucifer dealing with Count Lucifer was a fun idea. Also hope the Pinhead cameo was enjoyed, and I couldn't resist having AI create an anime Pinhead in the Toriyama style (which you'll see only if you're reading this on AO3).

For 'Hellraiser', only the first three movies are canon for here. Lucifer has his own version of the Lament Configuration to summon Pinhead whenever he wants the guy to do something.

Thanks a lot to gussygus28 for his help with that part.

Dante Alighieri was from the game 'Dante's Inferno' which is a very lose adaptation of 'The Divine Comedy' by Dante Alighieri the Italian poet, and I think this scene's implications are clear.

While 'Rambo' exists on the MCU Earth too, and only the first four movies are canon, because I hate the 5th one, and hope his confrontation with The Creeper from 'Jeepers Creepers' was enjoyed (thank you to gussygus28 for the suggestion once more). You can imagine The Creeper is from whatever Earth, unless I get anymore ideas in the future.

So, you can say while Earth-1 has horror franchises canon to it as well, the MCU Earth has various action franchises canon to it.

I haven't actually seen the 'Jeepers Creepers' movies, though I plan to rectify that (for the first two films that is), so I saw clips of how The Creeper does its thing, and that's why the fight was told in past tense. From what I know, if someone stops being afraid of it, it does make The Creeper less effective, so that's one reason why Rambo could beat it, as he is Rambo.

And I haven't seen anyone trying to blow it up into little bits, so that ought to stop it for a lot longer than usual, and the SHIELD Team will take the pieces for research, but they will make sure the pieces don't recombine either.

Meanwhile, Gandalf the Grey meets Aslan the Great Lion, and their talk gives implications about the future.

Anyways, I'm thinking every 10th chapter will basically be random but intriguing stuff like this, which builds up to more. What do you all think?

Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
