Chapter 8- More faces
Yu Yu Hakusho 'Struggle of Sadness' plays
Yusuke sat on the rooftop, letting the rain drench him, as the rainwater mixed with his tears, his teeth gritted while he looked ahead.
Ba-san was gone. And she was not coming back this time. She was gone forever. His mentor….his mother figure, she was gone forever.
Killed by Sensui, who was back!
Why did she have to go and he had to return?
Yusuke continued to let the rain drench him as he cried.
Ned's apartment
MJ lay on the couch, groaning in pain from the wound on her that emitted black smoke. Clark, The Doctor, Tara, Paige, Aqua and Scott were examining it, but even Paige's healing and Aqua's magic were unable to fix it. Ned had been led to his room by his grandmother and was in bed.
"How's Ned?" MJ asked weakly as she saw them.
"About the same as you," Angel said as he looked at the wound. "So Scott, you've dealt with these guys before?"
"The Oni. They're Japanese demon warriors. Their sword is lethal to anything it cuts," Scott explained.
"Is there a cure?" The Doctor asked looking up at Scott as the werewolf nodded.
"Yeah. Killing the Oni," Scott said with a sigh. "Which is easier said than done."
"But you've done it before?" Tara asked.
"Not me, but someone else. Silver, it's their one weakness. A silver arrowhead was used to kill them in my world," Scott explained.
"And of course we're on short supply of those," Angel muttered.
"This keeps getting worse and worse", Roxas sighed.
"So me and Ned are as good as dead," MJ said weakly.
"I wouldn't give up just yet", Clark assured her, though he was still not fully healed from the beating that Doomsday and Zod had given him. "They are still here, and not done yet. We still have a chance."
"Thanks", MJ sighed, feeling a bit better from hearing him talk. "And what about the guy who was controlling the Oni?" MJ asked weakly, looking over at Scott. "You called him Stiles."
"Stiles? Like your friend Stiles?" Logan asked from where he stood watching all this from the corner.
"It's not Stiles, it's the Nogitsune," Scott said with a sigh. "It's a Dark Kitsune spirit, a trickster who feeds on chaos. A few years ago, it possessed Stiles, taking on his shape."
"It can do that?" Tara asked, startled.
"Not the most impossible thing", Terra sighed, rubbing his head as he thought of how long he'd been possessed by Xehanort, Aqua and Ven rubbing his back for comfort.
"Yes. With enough time. I've faced a lot of enemies over the years, but the Nogitsune is the one that came closest to beating me and my friends," Scott explained grimly before remembering something. "He mentioned Sephiroth has a plan."
"Recreating the Multiverse in his image", Cloud explained, sitting in a corner. "Using his corrupted Lifestream. He always one-ups himself with these schemes."
"And we're short of people", Zack groaned.
"Doesn't mean we should give up", Sora pointed out.
"I agree with you, kid', Cloud said, the rest looking over at him. "We can't give up. We will have to fight back."
"Huh? I thought you'd be hesitant", Zack noted.
"I've been letting him get into my head for too long", Cloud said firmly. "I'm rattled that he can do it again, but I will not go down like I used to, not like before."
"Admirable thing to say, master Strife", Gandalf praised him, then his face turned grim. "He has brought many of our foes here."
"Orcs, they work for him now it seems", Aragorn noted, not liking that.
"And the people you faced", Tara turned to Paige. "Who were those?"
"Zankou, he is a powerful and ancient Demon feared even by the other ones", Paige explained just what he was. "He manipulated me and my sisters, even stole their powers. It took making him absorbing the Nexus in our house and then destroying it to kill him."
"And…..the other one?" Tara asked a bit more hesitantly, due to Paige still being shaken up from whatever she'd seen.
"Barbas…" Paige whispered, shuddering a little. "The Demon of Fear, he knows what you fear, your greatest weakness, and uses it against you. I….I saw my husband die." She wiped a tear from her eyes, as Tara put an arm around her for comfort.
"Lindsey is back too", Angel grunted.
"Yeah, who is that asshat?" Dante inquired.
"An evil lawyer who said he is gonna leave the Demonic law firm, but he couldn't handle me taking his position to try and do good", Angel told him.
"Sounds pathetic."
"I know."
"Who was the guy that looked like you?" Zack asked Dante, and they all saw that for once, his eyes were pained, no longer casual.
"My twin brother." Dante shook his head, then looked at Cloud. "The one I told you about."
"I'm sorry", Cloud said sadly, Dante nodding in appreciation.
"He said Sephiroth increased his power", Dante noted grimly as well.
"Then there is Thor and Zeus from my world to deal with", Atreus sighed.
"And what was the thing that came after you?" Logan asked Clark.
"Doomsday. Created on my planet via genetic engineering, combining the DNA of Krypton's strongest and most violent creatures with the DNA of Zod and his wife Faora", Clark explained. "They attached the genetic matter to my ship so when I came to Earth, he came with me, and he had a human side too called Davis Bloome." Clark thought back to everything. "Both of them caused us a lot of pain." Then he remembered encountering Doomsday again in the 31st Century. "Doomsday was finally destroyed in the future."
"He was scary", Scott whispered, remembering the roars.
"Future, huh? Time-travel sucks", Logan sighed.
"What were those machines that attacked you?" Clark asked.
"Sentinels. Created to kill all Mutants. They nearly succeeded, but I time-travelled and things changed, but that bastard Sephiroth brought them back", Logan muttered. "Its all going to shit, isn't it?"
"Who…was the woman with the robot-Trolls?" MJ then asked The Doctor, groaning again.
"The Rani", The Doctor sighed, running his hand through his hair. "A Time Lord like me. She is not exactly evil like most of the others here, but to her, everything comes second to her research."
"And I guess that includes morality", Clark noted, The Doctor nodding.
"She mixed robots with those creatures you mentioned", The Doctor said to Gandalf and Aragorn. "Sephiroth most likely promised her unlimited research."
"He usually doesn't work with people. He is pretty much using them, but with his new power, he can still give them whatever they want without any harm to himself", Cloud sighed. "We're all in trouble."
"Yeah, got Lilith and that jerk Alastair back too alongside the rest", Dean said with a growl. "Its all so pointless."
"I'd just taken her out", Sam sighed. "Even if that was Ruby's plan."
"I told you, doesn't matter anymore, Sammy", Dean assured him while putting a hand to his shoulder.
"We should check up on Yusuke", Sora finally said to the rest of them. "He lost Genkai, he will need the rest of us."
"Sora's right. And Peter too. Aunt May was his only family", Clark said, his heart going out to the boy as he remembered Jonathan's passing.
"Yeah, they both need us", Cloud agreed, Dean nodding as well, the rest agreeing too.
Further conversation was interrupted by the sound of a portal opening. They all whirled around as Strange stepped into the room, breathing heavily and looking like he'd just been attacked.
"Strange? What happened?" The Doctor asked as they saw his ragged look.
Earlier
"Stephen, you know the risks that this poses. We have to fix this," Wong said as he and Strange argued.
"I know, and I agree, the Multiverse can't survive like this. All I'm asking is you give them a little more time," Strange pleaded.
Wong opened his mouth to respond but would never get the chance to continue the conversation. Strange watched in horror as his friend's neck was suddenly twisted by an unseen force and he fell down, dead.
Strange and the other Sorcerers whirled around to see a blonde man, covered in blood, and smirking.
The lights started flickering as he threw another Mystic down and crushed his face, and as one more tried to attack, the figure pointed at him and he exploded, his blood splattering on the wall.
One more enhanced his fist with magic and tried to punch but the man caught his fist and twisted, then punched his head off.
He turned to another and punched him through the chest, his hand protruding from the other end as that one died too, while he pulled it out, before he started killing some more.
Then he turned to Strange, who blasted him with Eldritch magic, throwing him off by a few feet, though he got up in a few seconds. Realizing he couldn't win, Strange portalled away, as did any remaining Mystics.
Now
"Lucifer", Dean whispered in horror, Sam feeling a chill run down his spine, as he hadn't even met Lucifer yet. "GODDAMN IT!"
"You mean the one from Christianity?" Clark asked Dean, and he nodded. "He is real?"
"Yeah, and just as bad as they say he is", Dean growled, the rest all paling in utter horror, those who knew of the Devil that is.
"So we got Sephiroth, this Organization XIII, Dante's twin, Thor, Zeus, Doomsday, the jerk that killed Genkai, everyone else, and now the Devil himself", Angel groaned. "What else?"
"Just what I was thinking", Paige sighed. The Devil himself! And she thought Zankou and Barbas were bad.
"How will we face all of these?" Tara wondered too, shuddering.
"Yeah, they outnumber us by quite a bit", Ven had to say.
"Wong and half the Masters of the Mystic Arts are dead at Lucifer's hands. Those that remain have gone into hiding. But that's not the worst of it," Strange said and they could all see the dread on his face. "With so few of us left, we can't fix the spell."
"You mean…" Angel trailed off as they all caught on.
"Damn it!" Scott sighed, his mind still occupied by the fact that not just the Nogitsune was back, but even the Devil himself was against them!
"What if I, Paige and Tara helped?" Gandalf questioned but Strange shook his head.
"You don't know the magic and, while you're all powerful in your own rights, none of you are a Master of the Mystic Arts," Strange said grimly.
"So then does that mean…" Paige trailed off uncertainly as the implications set in.
"I don't know. I honestly don't," Strange said as he sighed heavily. "But we need to find another solution and fast."
"And we will. We will not allow the Multiverse to collapse. We cannot," Superman said firmly. "So we will find another solution. Be it magic or science, we will find another way to repair the Multiverse and send us all home."
"Indeed. The odds might look like they're set against us, but that has always been the case", The Doctor added. "We have faced bad odds before, we will face them all again."
"A day may come when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of Fellowship, but it is not this day", Aragorn declared. "This day we fight. Let us stand!" He raised his sword, and everyone felt their hopes rise from the sight, Gandalf smiling as he now knew Aragorn had fully accepted who he truly was.
"Yes, we will stand, and we're all each other's power", Sora said with a smile as he shared a nod with Terra, Aqua, Ven, Roxas, Xion and Lea.
"Just got to get through the nonsense", Lea groaned.
"So, what's next in our plans?" Zack inquired.
Suddenly, Cloud gasped as he felt something, and grasped his head.
"Your friends are your power, Cloud. The Key is there. He can give you more…."
Cloud couldn't believe it. It was her.
"What happened, Cloud?" Zack asked immediately. "Is it Sephiroth?"
"No…." Cloud shook his head, then looked at Zack emotionally. "Its her."
Zack immediately knew who Cloud spoke of. "Right….." He smiled. "What did she say?"
"My friends are my power", Cloud noted, sharing a look with Sora as he'd just said something very similar. "The Key is here. He can give me more."
"We're all Keyblade wielders", Aqua noted, then turned to Sora. "But you were never chosen properly, and it still chose you."
"So you're the Key", Roxas added. "It has something to do with you."
"Just need to think what", Xion commented.
"I think I might have an idea", Sora said as he summoned his Keyblade, feeling all the powers from different worlds coming into this one. He needed those who'd a connection…to the people here! "My friends are my power."
And then, he aimed his Keyblade ahead as a beam shot out, and then a portal opened, everyone seeing someone in the distance, though they were too far away to see who it was, except for Clark, Dante, Cloud, Zack and Atreus!
At the sight of the portal, the figure rushed forward, jumping inside the portal. They all got a look at their new arrival.
It was a bearded, Caucasian man with dark hair and green eyes with a dark jacket. He looked around wearily before spotting Scott, who was looking at him in disbelief.
"Scott?"
"Derek?" Scott asked in disbelief.
"You two know each other?" Angel asked and Scott nodded.
"He's from my world. He's a Werewolf, like me," Scott explained.
"Scott, what is going on? Who are these people?" Derek demanded looking utterly confused, then saw Clark. "Superman?"
"…..Yeah."
"Almost feels like I know you", Derek muttered.
"I feel the same", Clark replied.
"So….where are we?" Derek asked Scott.
"Long story. Ever hear about the Multiverse?" Scott asked and Derek looked at him in disbelief.
"My mother mentioned it once. You mean it's actually real?" Derek said in disbelief.
"Yes, we're all kind of from different worlds," Paige said and Derek stared at them like he was expecting them to laugh and say it was a joke.
"Never have I wished I could get drunk more," Derek grumbled.
"That's going around," Scott assured him. "It's good to see you though. I could really use your help."
As Scott began filling Derek in, Sora held out his Keyblade once more, feeling for a connection with his light, and then a beam shot out as another portal was opened, this time two female figures being seen fighting in the distance.
"Of course this had to happen", Dante groaned, then put his hands around his mouth before calling out. "Hey! You can stop now! Come on!"
Hearing him, the two women stopped fighting, and slowly walked towards the portal before running, and then leapt through it to reveal two very beautiful women. One was a blonde in black, form-fitting clothes, her abdomen exposed, while the other was a brunette with shorter hair, in a white shirt, black shorts, red boots and a huge ass bazooka which also had some kind of blade protruding from it.
Both looked beaten up, clearly because they'd been fighting until a few seconds ago.
The blonde's wounds were slowly healing though, while the brunette glared at Dante with folded arms. "You made a mess again, didn't you Dante?"
"Actually, it was him." Dante pointed at Strange, who opened his mouth to argue, then shrugged and shut it, because it was him and Peter all right. "I was just as confused as you two."
"So what's going on then?" Trish asked.
"Spell gone wrong, people pulled into this world from other ones, including from different time periods", Dante explained to the two of them. "Vergil is here too, some asshat has brought him back."
The brunette groaned. "Great, so its all gone to shit again, huh?"
"The usual for us", the blonde muttered.
"Everyone, meet Trish and Lady", Dante introduced the two of them. "I know, you all must be wondering how I put up with them."
"You can say the same thing about us putting up with him", Trish said with a shrug, the rest chuckling a bit at these antics.
Clark, Logan and Scott noted that Trish was not a human, but a Demon like Dante, while Lady was a human.
Sora aimed his Keyblade once more and another beam shot out, opening a portal as two brunette women walked out, Paige's eyes widening on seeing them.
"Paige!" One of the women exclaimed upon spotting her.
"Piper! Phoebe!" Paige called happily as she hugged them both before turning to the rest, introducing the women. "My sisters."
"So The Power of Three is together again", Phoebe noted.
"Yeah, we're all back", Paige said with a smile.
"Paige, we've been looking for you all over the city and when we saw the news, somehow we knew you'd be involved." Piper said.
"Who are these people?" Phoebe asked, looking at everyone in the room, then noticed Clark. "Superman?"
"You're real?" Piper asked as well, both she and Phoebe looking awed.
"Well… it's complicated." Paige said awkwardly. "Remember when Gideon sent us to that parallel world where everything was a mirror version of our world? This is another parallel Universe. These people are also from other Universes, including Superman who is real somewhere, and Spider-Man is a thing here too."
Phoebe sensed a different aura from all of the people gathered, but she could tell they were good people, including the two Demons, even though they were all from different worlds. There was an Angelic being amongst them too, plus an alien, which would be Superman.
"A different Universe, huh? Well, this isn't the first time we've been there." Piper noted, before looking at the gathered people. "But this…this is too much."
"I'll explain everything, but we need all the help we can get." Paige said.
"Yeah…yeah", Piper sighed.
Sora aimed his Keyblade and fired a beam to open another portal, as Piper asked. "Is that a…"
"Its called a Keyblade", Paige explained, Piper nodding.
"Oh!"
This time, a petite woman with long, dark hair walked out, holding up a huge hammer in her hands, and she looked at everyone in the room weirdly. "Superman?"
"Okay, who does not know me?" Clark groaned, before Faith noticed Angel.
"Angel!" She put the hammer down and walked to him, giving him an embrace that he returned.
"Hey Faith", Angel greeted her with a smile as they parted. "Good to see you here."
"You too, because this is all a mess, even if I'm five by five", Faith shrugged, then noticed Tara. "Hey, aren't you-"
"Yeah."
"And weren't you-"
"Yeah."
"This is weird", Faith muttered, running a hand through her hair.
"A spell that pulled people from different worlds and time periods", Angel explained.
"Ah, right. Magic can really do a lot of weird crap", Faith commented with a groan. "Like when Red made every Potential a Slayer."
"Wait, she really did that?" Tara asked, the other two nodding.
"Yeah, though I don't agree with it", Angel said, thinking of Dana. "But they were all pressed, so I kind of get it in a way."
Sora fired a beam with his Keyblade once more, Faith noting. "Does that key-thing-"
"Keyblade", Tara supplied.
"Right."
Another portal opened and this time, a blonde man in a black leather duster walked out, holding a sword.
"Huh? Looks like a party", he muttered, before seeing Clark looking at him weirdly. "What? Oh…..and are you Superman?"
"Brainiac?" Clark muttered in shock as he stared at the blonde.
"Who the hell is Brainiac?" The blonde asked.
"Very generous of you to imply he has a brain in the first place", Angel said from his own end, as the blonde looked at him with a growl.
"Of course you're here too!"
"I came here first, you're just copying me again by coming here too", Angel said with a shrug, and the blonde groaned.
"Sod off, Angel!" He snarled, then saw Faith. "Oh hello there, been a while, Faith."
"Good to see you too, Spike", Faith said, chuckling at Angel's and Spike's antics, when Spike's eyes fell on Tara.
"Tara?" He questioned, a lump in his throat. "You…you're…"
"A spell pulled me from before I died into this world", Tara explained to Spike, then sensed something. "You're…..you have a soul."
"Yes, I got it back", Spike confirmed to her with a nod and smile. "And its good to see you." She was always kind to him even when he was soulless and she knew if he didn't have the chip he would not hesitate to attack her. She also took care of the Nibblet more than anyone else did after Buffy was back, and she also stopped him from coming onto Buffy when Buffy had confided in her. She was kind, but she also had strength that she had found eventually with the Scoobies.
Even when he was a soulless Vampire, he decided the world did not deserve someone as good as her. And with his soul on him, he still felt the same.
"You too", Tara said with a smile of her own, happy to see he'd gotten his soul back to be the good man he always had potential to be. She then turned to Angel. "You didn't tell me about him."
"Of course he wouldn't!" Spike scoffed.
"It just didn't come up!" Angel defended himself lamely.
"He is just mad he is not the only guy in his club anymore", Spike shrugged.
"Hey, I got a soul before it became cool!"
"And I am the one who made it cool!"
"Well, these two have issues", Piper muttered to her sisters, who nodded.
"And I thought me and my brother had issues", Dante commented as well.
"A doppelganger of Brainiac who is a Vampire with a soul, I've seen everything now", Clark noted.
Sora aimed his Keyblade once more and a beam shot out, and this time a handsome man carrying some kind of science gun walked out of it, looking around strangely.
"Jack?" Doctor called out, making the guy turn to him. "You're here too?"
Jack narrowed his eyes, then realized who this was. "Doctor? That you?"
"Yes Jack", The Doctor said with a nod.
"I knew the rumors of your death were greatly exaggerated", Jack said, walking to The Doctor. "Love the new look." They shared a hug and Jack pecked The Doctor on the cheek. "Good to have at least someone around."
"What happened?" The Doctor asked, noting outside of the reaction to himself, Jack was quite subdued compared to how he usually was.
"Lots of things, Doctor, lots of things", Jack said sadly, thinking of Esther's death, and what had happened to Steven. Then he noticed Spike. "Hart?"
"Now who the hell is Hart?" Spike asked, confused.
"Different guy, Jack, he looks the same", The Doctor explained.
"Oh, right", Jack nodded, sighing as he looked away from Spike.
"Lots of people I look like, eh?" Spike noted to himself.
Sora then used his Keyblade and opened another portal, and this time, a middle-aged blonde woman walked out, looking around, before she saw The Doctor.
"Doctor?" She asked with a gasp. "Been a while…..I had called for you with the psychic paper. Then I was here."
"Where did you call me?" The Doctor asked, having a sinking feeling in his gut.
"The Library", she replied, and The Doctor had no emotion on his face.
"Oh!"
"Where are we?" She asked him, as The Doctor looked away for a bit, running a hand through his hair.
"A different world, brought by what they consider a spell, but I doubt it was one", The Doctor sighed. "They just think it was."
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that", Strange said from his end.
The Doctor did not respond. River was here! But it wasn't the one with whom he spent the nights. It was the River he'd lost, from many years in her future.
It was always unfair. When they first met from his point of view, he did not know her at all, and she knew everything about him. Then as they continued to meet, he knew more about her, and she knew less about him.
And now the one who knew him was here. And he didn't know what to do.
"Either way, good to see you Doctor", River told him, and The Doctor simply nodded, looking anywhere but at her, something she picked up on, as well as some others.
With that, Sora aimed his Keyblade and opened another portal. This time a man with long hair that reached his shoulders walked out, carrying some kind of staff in his hands.
He looked at everyone in the room weirdly, then saw Logan. "Logan?"
"Remy?" Logan questioned as he sat up. "The hell are you doing here?"
"No idea, I'd dropped you on that island, then I came here", Remy LeBeau told him. "You mind telling Gambit what's going on?"
"Right. A spell pulled people from different worlds here, and from time periods", Logan explained to him. "Because for me, been a dog's age since I saw you." And a completely different timeline too. Remy was from the old timeline it seemed.
"Now this is confusing, Mon Ami", Remy commented to himself, then told Logan. "But nice to have ya around."
"You too, Remy, you too", Logan said with a nod.
Then Sora opened another portal with his Keyblade. The two figures saw the portal and one rushed towards it while the other hobbled behind. The first one jumped in, glancing back as his companion caught up, huffing as he followed the other one in.
The first figure was a handsome man with light skin, blond flowing hair and pointed ears. He had light eyes with a bow in one hand and a quiver on his back.
The second was a short man with reddish brown hair. He had a beard and was dressed in armor with a helmet on his head and an axe in hand.
"Legolas, Gimli," Aragorn said in pleasant surprise.
"Aragorn," Legolas said in relief, then saw Gandalf. "Mithrandir."
"Wait, I thought you were called Gandalf!" Dean said to Gandalf in surprise.
"I am known by many names", Gandalf said with a smile.
"What happened, laddie?" Gimli demanded as he looked around at their company. "And where are we?"
"You've been brought to another world by a spell," Strange said bluntly, shrugging when he got several looks. "Getting tired of explaining the same thing."
"It's not any easier to believe with the explanation," Derek grumbled.
"As crude as Doctor Strange is, he is right. We have been brought to this world by magic. And we are sadly not the only ones," Gandalf told his friends.
"And there is evil we need to face here too", Aragorn said, the other two nodding grimly.
With that, Sora opened another portal, and soon enough, a beautiful woman dressed in medieval clothes with a sword and shield walked out, followed by another beautiful woman with blonde hair, and a dark-skinned man in a trench coat.
"Diana", Clark greeted the medieval woman happily, before seeing the blonde one. "Kara."
"Kal-El", Kara greeted him happily as he shared a nod with the dark-skinned one.
"J'onn."
"Kal-El. Good to find you."
"Nice to see you all here as well", Clark said.
"So, Wonder Woman and Supergirl are a thing too", Phoebe whispered to her sisters. "Hell yeah!"
"Can't say I disagree", Dean said, admiring the two women from a distance, as Sam chuckled at that.
"Xan-man would be in paradise here", Faith commented to Angel, Spike and Tara, all four chuckling at that.
Kara then noticed Spike. "Brainiac?"
"No, he is someone else who looks like him", Clark explained, and she looked at him strangely, then shrugged and nodded.
"Right."
"I'm still popular", Spike quipped.
"Where are we, Kal?" Kara asked her cousin.
"Different world, Kara", Clark explained to her. "All of us were pulled from different worlds by a spell. And there are more too."
Seeing his expression, J'onn asked. "Who?"
"Doomsday is here. As is Zod", Clark revealed, horrifying the three of them.
"Oh no", Kara muttered, as Sora used his Keyblade and opened another portal, this time a man in a suit with wings walking out, carrying some kind of mace.
"Clark?" He asked, as Clark turned to him. "What are you doing here? And what are you wearing?" He noticed the others. "And we got more."
"Carter?" Clark questioned, suddenly feeling a lump in his throat as he remembered being at his funeral.
"Yes, its me."
"What's the last thing you remember?" Clark finally asked him.
"I was fighting that General Wilson, then I was here", Carter explained, and Clark was horrified.
While he was glad that Carter was here, if they weren't sent back, Lois would be in trouble now. But right now, he was happy to see Carter, yet sad at the same time.
"You look like you've seen a ghost", Carter noted on seeing his expression.
"You can say that", Clark muttered, putting a hand to Carter's shoulder. "Its good to see you."
Carter just smiled and nodded, as Sora opened another portal.
"There you are!"
They suddenly heard a flutter of wings and a brown-haired man in a trench coat appeared in the middle of the room through the portal.
"Cass!" Dean and Sam shouted at the same time.
"Dean, Sam", Castiel greeted them with a smile. "I've been looking everywhere for you, but when I couldn't find you, it was clear you were on another world. We eventually found our way here, and I came." He turned to Sam. "It seems you have been pulled from a different time period."
"Yeah, that's going around", Sam sighed.
Phoebe thought she'd seen his face somewhere, though she couldn't place it. Piper noted he looked just like Eric Bragg, which was strange.
Tara and the other Witches also felt great power from him, as did Dante, Atreus and the Keyblade wielders, before he turned to Gandalf. "You…." His eyes widened. "It has been so long."
"Indeed it has, my friend", Gandalf said with a smile and nod, realizing Castiel recognized who he truly was, and before he'd been sent to Arda, he knew Castiel too, who had not been sent to Arda.
"You know him?" Aragorn asked Gandalf regarding Castiel.
"In a manner of speaking", Gandalf replied cryptically as Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli realized that was all they'd get from him.
"So you know the Wizard, eh?" Dean asked Castiel as well.
"A long time ago, yes", Castiel simply replied, then looked at them all. "I'm an Angel of the Lord."
With that, a fluttering sound was heard and they saw wings appear in his silhouette, to their shock, as Dante just shrugged, not caring about it.
"Now this…this is something", Piper whispered.
"Bloody Hell!" Spike said as well.
"I know", Angel muttered, agreeing with him for once.
"Well, if there is a Devil, there have to be Angels too", Clark pointed out, the rest conceding to that.
"Good thing you're here, we needed an Angel like you", Strange said to Castiel, who simply nodded at that.
And then, Sora unleashed another beam from his Keyblade, opening a portal once more, and this time, out came a tall boy with long, red hair who looked feminine, a short boy with dark hair wearing dark clothes, his expression showing aloofness, another tall boy with brownish hair in casual clothes, and, to the shock of them all, a handsome looking teenage boy wearing a caped outfit with 'Jr' on his forehead and having…..a pacifier in his mouth! Plus a giant bird-creature behind them.
"What in the…?" Dean muttered, Dante, Strange, Spike, Angel, Faith, Tara, the Charmed Ones, Trish, Lady and many others having similar reactions.
The bird creature made a noise as the red-haired boy closed his eyes, then opened them. "Yusuke is here, very close."
"Wait, you're all Yusuke's friends?" Dean asked, and the group nodded.
"You know Urameshi?" The brown-haired one inquired.
"Yeah, he is with all of us", Dante confirmed to him, then looked at the pacifier guy. "And why do you have a pacifier in your mouth?"
"I was going to ask the same thing", Strange said with a raised hand.
"I like it", the guy simply shrugged, then looked at the beautiful women in the room and did some sort of bow. "I'm Koenma. I'm very cool."
"Yeah, about that", Faith muttered while wincing.
"My name is Kuwabara", the brown-haired one finally gave his name. "I just found myself here all of a sudden, and I got no idea how."
"Yes, us too", the red-haired one said. "I'm Kurama, by the way. We have been trying to look for Yusuke since." He gestured to the dark-haired one. "This is Hiei."
Hiei simply did a 'hmph' in response while the bird-creature made a noise, and Kuwabara added. "That's Pu."
"Good thing you're all here", Clark said to the group. "Yusuke is going to need you."
"Why, what happened?" Koenma inquired.
"His mentor…..Genkai", Dean said, trying to break the news. "She is gone."
"What? How?!" Kuwabara asked in utter horror, Kurama and Koenma looking horrified too, and even Hiei's stoicism faltered.
"This tall jerk in all-black and black hair", Sam described what the guy looked like. "He killed her."
"Sensui?" Hiei wondered, confused now. "Wasn't he supposed to be dead?"
"Yes, I'm getting confused too", Koenma had to say.
"A spell went wrong and pulled people in from many Universes from different periods in time", Strange explained to them.
"That must be the reason why Sensui is still here", Kurama noted grimly. "Where is Yusuke?"
"On the roof", Scott informed the group. "He will be needing you all."
Sora then used his Keyblade and opened another portal. They saw a tall, lumbering figure in the distance, and he started making his way towards the portal. Atreus' eyes widened as the figure came closer, and he walked through the portal.
He was a tall, bald man, with a long beard, a red mark running all over his body, with a scar on his eye, and he carried some weapons with him. On his face, they saw what looked like true wisdom, which his eyes showed too, but they also looked like they carried a great pain, healed but still there in some capacity.
"Father!" Atreus cried out, as the man turned to him, giving him a nod.
"Boy", the man muttered, walking up to Atreus and putting a hand to his shoulder. "I knew you would be here; I have been looking for you."
"Damn!" Dante muttered, feeling a great power from this figure. It didn't exceed his, but rivalled his power for sure. "You seem powerful."
The Keyblade wielders, Cloud, Zack, Gandalf, Tara, Strange, Charmed Ones and Yusuke's friends sensed his power too, finding themselves awed by it.
"I knew you would come", Atreus said to him, then looked at the rest. "This is my father, Kratos."
Kratos simply gave a nod to them, as Paige asked. "So….you're a God, right?"
"I am", Kratos confirmed. "Of Hope." That just awed them even more.
"Father, Thor is here", Atreus revealed, to Kratos' surprise. "And…..Zeus too."
"What? How?!" Kratos asked in shock.
"I'm getting tired of explaining this over and over, but a spell went wrong, pulled people from different worlds and time periods", Strange sighed.
"Hence why we are in a new world", Kratos noted, then looked ahead. "Zeus could have been helped once but now….he is beyond help. Thor, on the other hand, perhaps I could try to speak with him."
"Just what I was thinking, father", Atreus agreed with a smile.
With that, Sora opened another portal, and a figure leapt out of it, two more following that one. To say the people present were flabbergasted was an understatement!
"Mickey Mouse?!" Faith cried out.
"And Donald Duck….." Paige continued.
"And Goofy!" Strange finished, his composure actually breaking this time.
"Am I hallucinating or are Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy actually there?!" Dean asked his brother.
"Well…they are there."
"I'll be damned!"
"This…what is going on?" Piper muttered.
"I don't know", Phoebe confessed.
"And they have great power too", Tara noted, and that surprised her even more than them being real.
"This…..this is something else", Clark had to say too.
"Tell me about it", Carter muttered.
"The fuck?" Logan whispered to himself.
"So…..they're real….Mon Ami?" Gambit asked Logan.
"Looks like it, bub."
"….Huh?" Derek simply said, at a loss of words.
"Took the words right out of my mouth", Scott said in reply.
"Sora!" Mickey cried out happily on seeing Sora. "It is so good to see you!"
"Don't scare us like that again, Sora!" Donald said as well.
"Gawrsh, we were all worried!" Goofy muttered too. "How are ya, Sora?"
"Found myself here, and now you're all here as well, nice to see you", Sora said happily as Donald and Goofy ran to him, and threw him down in a hug.
"Is it just me or do the mouse, duck and dog walk and talk like humans?" Dante asked now.
"They do, which is fascinating", The Doctor commented. "Disney characters being real in other worlds."
"I've seen a lot, but nothing like this", River commented.
"This is so crazy!" Kuwabara said while grasping his head.
"…..Yeah", Hiei muttered.
"A talking mouse, duck and dog, I think I have seen it all now, laddies", Gimli commented to the others of the Fellowship.
"Indeed. This is…not natural", Legolas noted.
"But quite fascinating I must say", Gandalf commented.
"That I agree with, my friend", Aragorn had to say as well.
"Father…" Atreus muttered.
"I see it, boy", Kratos told him, and even he was at a loss of words.
"Sora really has some interesting friends, doesn't he?" Zack asked Cloud, who nodded.
"Really does."
They let go, as Donald noted. "I think powerful magic brought us here."
"Yes, we messed up a spell", Strange told him.
"Really?" Donald asked, sounding angry. "You cannot mess with magic and the natural order of things, ya know?"
"Because the spell broke barriers between time and Space, our enemies are back too", Sora added, horrifying the Disney trio now.
"See? This is what happens when you mess with things you don't understand!" Donald snapped at Strange, who cringed a bit.
"Scolded by Donald Duck. Never thought I'd live to see the day", Strange commented to himself.
"The talking duck is….quite angry", Castiel said while looking at Donald and Goofy strangely.
With that, Sora opened another portal, and then two more figures walked out of it, a girl in a red dress, and a boy with long white hair. They saw Sora, and their eyes widened.
"Sora!" The one with white hair cried out happily, running to him and putting an arm around him, patting his hair. "Finally found ya, eh? You really love scaring us all, don't you?"
"Riku!" Sora said happily, smiling at his friend. "You're here!" He then turned to the girl. "Kairi!"
"Sora….." Kairi trailed off, Riku letting go as Sora walked to her. Kairi put her arms around and hugged him tight, Sora hugging her back. "Oh Sora. I was afraid I'd never see you again."
"I'll always come back to you", Sora assured her, then looked at Riku, Donald, Goofy, Mickey and his other friends. "All of you." He held out a hand to Riku, who grasped it and joined the hug, all three happy to be with each other once more, as the rest watched the sight with smiles, while Riku and Kairi then nodded at the other Keyblade wielders, plus Donald and Goofy.
Sensing some more, Sora parted from them. "A few more need to come." Aiming his Keyblade, Sora fired another beam, and a portal opened, as a medium-sized woman with very long hair in a black outfit which exposed her midriff walked out, followed by a man in red who'd very long hair, his outfit and appearance reminding Sora of what his Cloud looked like when they'd first met. With them was a tall, dark-skinned man who was missing a hand and had some kind of metal hand in its place.
"Cloud!" The woman cried out happily on seeing him.
"Tifa!" Cloud cried out too, as they rushed to each other and shared a kiss on the lips, Zack smiling at that, happy that Cloud and his childhood friend/sweetheart were finally a thing now.
They parted as Tifa told him. "We just came here all of a sudden. I was worried, I looked for you!"
"Yeah, it's a spell gone wrong, but I'm here now", Cloud assured her, touching her cheek as they shared another kiss, before he turned to the other two. "Vincent. Barret."
"Yo Cloud, dragged us all into another mess, huh?" Barret asked him in his jovial tone.
"Not my fault", Cloud said with a shrug.
"Yes, I can sense powerful magic at play here", Vincent said as well.
Sora noted how much this Tifa resembled the one he knew, but it was clearly not her. Then Barret noticed Mickey, Donald and Goofy. "Are those….?"
"Yeah."
"What, huh?" Donald cried out, but Mickey and Goofy restrained him.
Tifa then noticed Zack and did a double take. "You? But weren't you-"
"Long story", Zack said while rubbing the back of his head.
"The spell pulled people from different points in time from different worlds", Cloud explained.
"Right, not that long."
"Oh!" Tifa noted, then noticed Cloud's grim expression. "What?"
"Sephiroth is back. He is behind all that's wrong", Cloud revealed, to the horror of his friends.
"Damn it! Of course that guy has to fuck everything up!" Barret snarled in anger.
"Looks like we are going to have a fight on our hands", Vincent noted, Cloud nodding.
Sora tried to sense some others with connections to people here. Finding another, he aimed his Keyblade and opened another portal.
This time, it opened to a dark alley.
In the distance, they could see who seemed to be someone dressed like Spider-Man.
"Is that Peter?" The Doctor asked as they saw the figure.
"I think so," MJ said as she sat up as best she could without hurting herself, drifting in and out of sleep due to what she was going through. "Peter!"
"Hey, Peter!" Scott joined in.
The figure heard them and turned towards them. He ran towards the portal and jumped inside as they all paused, staring at him.
It wasn't Peter. His suit was different and he was taller as well.
"That's not Peter," Zack summed up what they were all thinking.
"Actually, yeah, I am," Spider-Man said before pulling off his mask to reveal a young man with dark hair and some stubble on his face. "I'm Peter Parker."
"No you're not," MJ said in disagreement.
"Yes I am."
"He thinks he is anyway. He's not lying," Scott said confused.
"Well he definitely doesn't smell like him," Logan said as he eyed the other Peter warily.
"There's more than one Peter Parker, just like there's more than one Universe," Strange explained.
"He's Spider-Man in his Universe," The Doctor noted and the other Peter nodded. "You look like someone I knew once."
"Right, thanks for that", this Peter commented.
"Just like I'm a different Cloud from the one Sora knows, even if we look the same", Cloud said, Tifa looking confused.
"Wait, there's another you?" Tifa asked.
"And another you too", Sora told Tifa, and she was even more surprised.
"Yeah, I am Spider-Man. But then yesterday I was just…I was here," the new Peter said lamely.
"That's going around too," Dante said dryly as the other Peter looked around the room in bewilderment.
"Wow... string theory, multidimensional reality, and matter displacement, all real?" He asked and smiled when he got several nods. "Knew it!" He saw Mickey, Donald and Goofy. "Whoa! And Disney characters are real too?"
"Yeah, that's going around as well", Faith commented to him, then whispered to the rest. "So, a bunch of Spider-Men, huh?"
"Seems like it", Angel noted.
"So many people to keep track of", Lea had to say, looking around at everyone. "I don't think even I can memorize this!"
"Yeah, I have to agree", Roxas told him.
"There is one more left", Sora realized, and aimed his Keyblade. Once more, he opened another portal, this time in front of a man, although they couldn't see his face at first. He walked through the portal, revealing he was a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes. He waved at them.
"Hello. I hope it's okay I just came through this-" the man trailed off, looking back at the portal as it closed. "Oh. It just closed."
"You're Peter," MJ realized and the older Peter nodded.
"Yeah. Peter Parker. I've seen you on the news. You at least, I don't really recognize any of the rest of you," the older Peter said before spotting Mickey, Donald and Goofy. "You three are real?"
"What does that mean?" Mickey inquired.
"Yes, they are real", The Doctor confirmed, the older Peter nodding, weirded out, before he spotted the other Peter.
"Hey, he's not your friend."
The two Peters stared at each other for a moment before, in sync, shooting off a stream of webbing at each other and jumping, dodging it. The first Peter landed on a table and the older Peter shot out more webbing, getting his web-shooters. The younger Peter nodded; impressed as the older Peter smiled.
"This is like something out of a crossover comic book," Derek muttered to Scott, getting a migraine as Scott nodded his agreement, and many others looked to be in agreement too.
"On the bright side, Stiles will be jealous he wasn't here when we get home," Scott noted and Derek smirked.
"I can say the same about Xander", Faith shrugged as Angel, Spike and Tara all chuckled at imagining his face.
"So they're both Spider-Man. We'll call you Peter-2, you Peter-3, and our Peter as Peter-1," The Doctor said, pointing to the older Peter then the younger Peter as he spoke.
"Why is he Peter-2?" Peter-3 asked.
"Because he's older," The Doctor said simply and Peter-3 shrugged, not having a problem with it.
"This might sound strange, but I've been trying to find your Peter since I got here," Peter-2 said and Peter-3 looked at him sharply. "I just have this sense that... that he needs my help."
"Our help," Peter-3 added and they nodded at each other in agreement.
"He does, but it's not gonna be easy to find him," Tara explained.
"He's…in bad shape," Angel added lamely and a moment of silence passed.
"Well, uh, is there some place that he might go that has meaning to him? Like a place where he would go to just-"
"Get away from everything?" Peter-3 finished and Peter-2 nodded.
"For me, it was the top of the Chrysler building," Peter-2 explained.
"Empire State. It's just a better view," Peter-3 said and Peter-2 nodded.
"That is a sweet view."
"Yes," MJ said as she realized where Peter was. "Yeah. I... I think I know exactly where that would be."
"And I think I can sense him too", Sora noted, due to the connections he'd made with everyone here. "Peter needs you." He turned to Yusuke's friends. "And Yusuke needs you all."
At that moment, Ned's grandma walked into the room, then looked at everyone there, her mind going into overdrive.
And then she fainted.
"Well…..that happened", Logan commented while cringing.
On top of the Empire State Building, Peter sat alone, staring out at the city. Dried tears were on his face, his eyes red from crying. Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up, he saw Scott, looking at him in compassion, and Clark was with him too.
After a moment, Peter broke down as Clark and Scott knelt down, wrapping him in a hug. After a few moments of allowing Peter to cry, Scott spoke up.
"Peter….there's some people who'd like to speak to you," Scott said lowly.
"What?" Peter asked, looking up.
He saw two figures standing at the top of the building and they jumped down and Peter jumped up, getting into a fighting stance.
"Hey, wait, wait- whoa!" Peter exclaimed as Clark put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's alright. They're…well, they're you," Clark said. "From other Universes."
Peter stared at Peter-2 and Peter-3 for a moment, in utter disbelief before Peter-2 spoke up. "Sorry... about May."
"Yeah, sorry," Peter-3 added. "I've got some understanding of what it-"
"Don't say you understand what I'm going through," Peter said angrily.
"Okay," Peter-3 agreed.
"She's gone. And it's all my fault. She died for nothing," Peter said in guilt. "So I'm gonna do what I should have done in the first place. Let Strange send them all home."
"Peter-" Peter-2 started.
"Please, don't! You don't belong here, either of you. So I think it's best for all to go home. Some of those other guys are from your worlds, right? So you deal with it. And if they die, if you kill them... that's on you. It's not my problem. I don't care anymore. I'm done," Peter said, feeling tired of all this. "I'm really sorry that I dragged you into this. But you have to go home now. Good luck."
"Peter," Scott said and Peter looked over at him. "Your heartrate speeds up when you lie. Even when you lie to yourself."
"You don't really believe what you just said", Clark agreed with Scott. "Its just not in you."
"My Uncle Ben was killed," Peter-2 said and Peter looked back at him. "It was my fault."
"I lost..." Peter-3 tried to catch his losing voice. "I lost Gwen. My, um... she was my MJ." Clark looked at him sadly as he looked at for a moment before turning back to Peter. "I couldn't save her. I'm never gonna be able to forgive myself for that." Peter-3 continued his dark tale, sniffing every now and then. "But I carried on, tried to, um... try to keep going, try to keep being the uh... that "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man," 'cause I knew that's what she would have wanted. But at some point, I just- I stopped pulling my punches. I got rageful. I got bitter."
The others looked sympathetic as Peter-3 remembered his brutal beating of Harry for Gwen's death. He had only stopped at the last moment, and then Harry had killed himself with his own glider.
"I just don't want you to end up like... like me."
Peter-2 continued his tale at that point. "The night Ben died, I hunted down the man who I thought did it. I wanted him dead." He told Peter sadly, remembering confronting the man. "I got what I wanted." And then he added, remembering the man falling to his death. "It didn't make it better. It took me a long time to learn to get through that darkness."
"A woman I loved was killed", Clark then picked up at that point, Peter looking at him. "She had made mistakes before, and then someone tried to frame her for some murders. The entire town turned against her, and then he killed her." Clark closed his eyes as he remembered finding Alicia's hanging body, cradling her in his arms, screaming in disbelief. "I wanted to rip the guy apart. I almost did it….." He thought back to the moment Lois had arrived, finally talking him down. "But it wouldn't have made it better. And she loved me because she saw me for who I was. If I did it, I wouldn't have been the man she loved anymore."
Peter was reeling, struck by their losses. Their regrets. Their warning.
Peter confessed at that point. "I want to kill him. I want to tear him apart." He had tears. "I can still hear her voice in my head. Even after she was hurt, she said to me that we did the right thing." Scott put a hand to his shoulder. "She told me that, "With great power-"
"-Comes great responsibility", Peter-2 finished the quote.
The three of them looked at each other. How did they know?
"Wait, what?" Peter inquired in surprise. "How do you know that?"
Peter-3 informed him. "Uncle Ben said it."
"The day he died", Peter-2 nodded.
The three Peter Parkers stared at each other, overwhelmed by this uncanny connection. Bound together across Universes by those words.
Peter-2 advised his younger self, his alternate nephew. "Maybe she didn't die for nothing, Peter."
"So….what do you think?" Scott asked him.
"Okay…..okay", Peter finally gave in. "What next?"
Yusuke continued staring ahead in the dark when he sensed familiar presences near him, and then a huge blue wing wrapped around him, causing him to turn and see the owner.
"Pu!" He cried out, a smile finally crossing his face. "Pu! You're here!"
"Not just him, Urameshi!"
Yusuke turned to see Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei and Koenma all there, walking towards him. Kuwabara started. "We heard…..about…."
Yusuke's face fell again as he remembered cradling the dying Genkai. "She…"
"We will make sure she didn't die for nothing", Kurama assured Yusuke, putting a hand to his shoulder. "Sensui will pay, as will the rest of them."
Hiei just gave a nod, reaffirming what Kurama had just said, while Koenma added. "You're not alone in this."
"I will tear him apart", Yusuke snarled, which caused concern in Kuwabara, Kurama and Koenma. Hiei, not so much.
Yes, Sensui deserved to die now, but Yusuke….he never took a human life. Even of ones like Tarukane. Would he be who he was if he killed Sensui now?
"Either way, you have us, Urameshi!" Kuwabara assured Yusuke, then added. "But I'm not hugging ya!"
In spite of the situation, Yusuke gave a watery chuckle.
Unspecified location
Sephiroth stood, staring ahead with a smirk, as Vergil, Sensui, Zeus, Thor, Lucifer, Master Xehanort and Itsuki all looked at him.
"Everyone is here now", Sephiroth noted. "The time is coming soon."
"The Lights and Darknesses will clash, and the χ-blade will be forged", Master Xehanort said, smirking happily. "Kingdom Hearts shall be opened at long last."
"I don't work for others, but if you can provide me the power you say you can, I will join you…for now", Vergil told Sephiroth.
"Oh I can….and much more."
"Keep your end of the bargain, mortal", Zeus snarled as lightning came off of him. "That is the only reason I work with you…" He gestured to Thor, "and this petulant child!"
"You dare to mock me?!" Thor roared, preparing to fight Zeus, who was prepared too, but Master Xehanort put his Keyblade on his hammer, lowering it.
"Let us fight those who oppose us", Master Xehanort said, Thor growling at Zeus again before looking away.
"What more to expect from Pagan gods?" Lucifer scoffed, making the two glare at him.
Thor started. "I am going to-"
Zeus started too. "You shall-"
Master Xehanort stepped in the way again. "Like I said- let us fight those who oppose us, and not each other."
Thor and Zeus backed down, as Lucifer just shrugged and looked away.
"I hate humans, so petty and weak", Lucifer said, then looked at Sephiroth. "But you….you are not like the rest."
"No, there are none like me", Sephiroth said with a smirk. "And you will get what you want too."
"I do not like humans either but your power…..puts you beyond any of them", Sensui said to Sephiroth, also thinking about how Sephiroth hated humans, just like he did, before he turned to look at Vergil. "And you are…..half-Demon and half-human?"
"I am, but I do not care for my human half anymore", Vergil said with a scoff.
"Indeed, humans are weak", Sensui agreed.
Itsuki just chuckled.
Sephiroth smirked while staring ahead once more.
"Soon, the time will come."
And with that, this monster of a chapter is over. Almost as big as the previous one. With how many fandoms and characters we had, the 'Portals' bit here was definitely gonna take a long time.
So now, we got- Derek Hale from 'Teen Wolf', Trish and Lady from 'Devil May Cry', Piper Halliwell and Phoebe Halliwell from 'Charmed 1998' (finishing the Power of Three with Paige), Spike and Faith Lehane from 'Buffyverse', Jack Harkness and River Song from 'Whoniverse' (Jack being from 'Torchwood'), Remy LeBeau/Gambit from 'X-Men', Legolas Greenleaf and Gimli from 'The Lord of the Rings', Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, Kara Kent/Superwoman, J'onn Jonnz/Martian Manhunter and Carter Hall/Hawkman from 'Smallville', Castiel from 'Supernatural', Kurama, Hiei, Kuwabara Kazuma, Koenma and Pu from 'Yu Yu Hakusho', Kratos from 'God of War', Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Riku and Kairi from 'Kingdom Hearts', Tifa Lockhart, Vincent Valentine and Barret Wallace from 'Compilation of Final Fantasy VII', plus Andrew Garfield's and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Men.
Derek and Scott teaming up always rocks. Lady and Trish are fun too. I don't like Phoebe post-Season 4 of 'Charmed' but the Power of Three is needed here. Spike and Faith are from present day of Buffyverse. I know the Troll Hammer wasn't really seen much after Season 5 but I'm just pretending the Scoobies took it too when Sunnydale went down, since it is a useful weapon, and as Buffy uses the M?, Faith will use the Troll Hammer. Spike's and Tara's friendship was always nice to see, so annoyed they didn't have Spike react to….THAT! Especially since he had a soul when he'd find out.
I've not seen Torchwood (outside of NuWho until 'The Day of The Doctor', which is where I always stop as I don't consider anything beyond it canon, I haven't seen anything of DW, which I plan to correct when I can) so I'd like to thank Stand with Ward and Queen for help in writing Jack Harkness here. River Song is the one from the Library, pulled in just before the mess there. Poor her and The Doctor.
I know I could have pulled in other cool X-Men who've more personal connections to Logan but I recently re-watched 'X-Men: The Animated Series' and watched 'X-Men '97' for the first time and they really put me in a Gambit mood, so he is here. I loved Taylor Kitsch in the role, for the 10 minutes we got him. Now he is here, and is behaving like his classic self. And yes, this Logan has experienced 'Days of Future Past' already.
Legolas and Gimli are here too. From 'Smallville', Diana, Kara and J'onn are from present day, while Carter is from just before his death in Season 10. Cass was so needed.
I got most of the 'Yu Yu Hakusho' supporting cast now. Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara were totally needed, and I've reasons to bring in Koenma and Pu that you'll see later. Wanted to bring in Botan too but couldn't justify any reasons for her, sadly.
Kratos has come as well! Hell yeah! After the Valhalla DLC, and now he will be facing Zeus and Thor when the time comes.
The rest of the main KH cast is here too, other than Naminé but like with Botan, couldn't think of a role for her.
And I wanted to bring in Cloud's entire party but it was overstuffed already, so my three favorite members aside from Cloud are here (Aerith is a favorite too but she is gone, as you all know, and part of the Lifestream).
Then we got both the Peters like in canon.
From villains, the new ones are Lucifer from 'Supernatural', Master Xehanort from 'Kingdom Hearts' and Itsuki from 'Yu Yu Hakusho'. Lucifer has killed Wong and most of the Mystics.
For Gandalf and Castiel recognizing each other, well, first of all, I'm ignoring everything post-Season 5 for SPN, and SPN God would be like the God of Christianity, all good, not like how they made Chuck later. God and Eru Ilúvatar would be the same, and the Valar and Maiar were all Ainur before entering Arda, and I believe Ainur are Angels for Arda, and Castiel is an Angel too. Not all Ainur went to Arda, so Castiel is one of those who did not, and is one of the Angels we know, same for other Angels and Archangels in SPN.
So, that's how Gandalf and Castiel know each other.
I think Clark would relate to Peter too currently due to the Alicia situation.
With that done, hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
