Cosmic Wars Omega: The Multiversal War across the Infinite Frontier

by Darth Necron

In the aftermath of the Secret Wars a path to the Multiverse was formed. Decedents of legendary warriors Ben Auro and Doug Fitter, Michael Auro and Astra Fitter, now must unite the likes of Rachet & Clank, Sam Porter, MegaMan Volnutt, 2B, Mark "Invincible" Greyson, Tanjiro Kamado, and the other last hero's of the universe to stop the Negaverse from conquering all other universes.

9. Chapter 261: Mission Impossible?

Chapter 261: Mission Impossible? Those who take the Trillion to One Bet.

As on edge as everyone on the Flutter was, with no other options in this space between universe's Mike, Astra and the others reluctantly followed Masaki into the Hagane.

The wary group was not sure what to expect from people who said they were from another universe, but after Masaki made sure the Flutter was not going to attack, after the ship landed the Cybuster landed next to it, and its green haired pilot casually walked out.

After making sure the air was safe to breath, Mike noticed that there were more than a dozen unique mecha that looked active, but not ready to attack before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Damn…I thought today was already out of surprises, but the hits just keep coming. I seen a lot in the old man's archives but still have not seen mobile suits like yours and some of the ones behind you so guess you're not just pulling my leg there. "

Masaki saw Crash, Ratchet and Clank, 2B and 9S, Megaman, and some of the others walk out before he snickered." I was just going to say the same thing dude!

My pal Kusuha Mizukh can get a rather good read on people so we know your not here to fight. Still...the faster we clear things up the better. "

Mike looked past the green haired man to see a blue haired woman in a blue pilot suit give a friendly wave before he let out a uneasy chuckle." Mind reading eh? Well...guess I can understand being anxious about things like this. Heh, but mobile suits eh?

If you know what things like Gundam's are we might be able to not have to take all day with this. That's good, getting information out of that last universe were everything was freaking black and white bees nearly caused me to snap."

Astra saw Masaki's cats roll their eyes before she noticed that while the "Super Robots" around them did not have weapons drawn, they looked like they could move on a moments noticed before she cracked her neck." Alright dude let's stop acting like we met here to hang out. After all, anyone that's really moving casually through universe's is no normal dude. Just show us your god thing already."

As Masaki raised an eyebrow a more composed female voice uttered," We are not gods, just professionals at what we do lady. I understand you assumed only god like beings could traverse across the Multiverse with ease but I hope we can both clear things up for each other in a civil matter."

Astra and the others swerved around to see the new voice came from a woman with short blue hair in a body fitting red, black, and silver uniform. The woman gave a quick salute before stating," I'm SRX Team Commander Viletta Vadim, acting commander of the Hagane. It's a pleasure to see other faces out here."

Mike chuckled before he saluted back." And I'm Prince Michelangelo Auro of the Bethel Kingdom while we are throwing out names and seeing what sticks. Pleasure to meet you to. Though that pleasure is going to end if you suddenly point a gun or sword at me or something."

"I assure you; we have no intention of attacking anyone that's not hostile, are options are rather limited at the moment. Still, I think for the sake of clearing things up just how did you get here?"

Mike saw how uneasy everyone was looking before he sighed and looked outside at the chaotic space in front of him." Well, that's a long story miss. But if I told you the short story was that we were attacked by a asshole powerful enough to destroy a universe like it was just a casual work day.

We escaped by some magic spell to get to the center of time, only for said jackass to follow us and from there wipe out everyone keeping the whole time-stream of our universe in check before merging it with some" Hypertime" thing he has going on before unleashing a blast so hardcore it blasted us out of the universe how messed up would you say I am?"

While Masaki raised an eyebrow Vadim just closed her eyes before she snickered." I'd say you have a rather stressful day, but one that I can believe. Like I said…the SRX Team, on behalf of the Langran Kingdom, and its allies across the Multiverse, is a task-force that had to neutralize many who would seek universal, or even multiversal dominance vie force."

Masaki whistled as he looked around." Yah…sounds like you have one seriously bad dude causing you, and I guess your universe some big trouble. But we took down guys like Bian Zoldark, Euzeth Gozzo, Zweizergain, Shiva Volkruss, Perfectio, Neue Regissuer, Kaiser Ephes, Hypsistos Sol Advent", Cyclaminos, and a few others who thought just because they had a machine or robot that could destroy the universe, they were unstoppable, till we stopped them hard."

Mike and some of the others looked impressed at the green haired man's confidence before Astra narrowed her eyes." Sounds like you guys been through one hell of a ride alright.

Also sounds like its mostly a bunch of pilots taking out other guys needing robots to do the work for yah. Ever fight a guy who with his own power, not a Mecha, could destroy a universe in like a minute, or take control of time, or think he's special enough to destroy "every" universe at once?"

Masaki paused before he cleared his throat. The pilot of Cybuster scratched his head before glancing at his black cat Kuro." Hey, you would say that Advent jackass was going to destroy a bunch of universe's at once if we did not shoot down his blast in time so guess that counts?

And…yah that Muge Zorbados punk controlled over a thousand universe's and we still shut him down. Well, Dancouga landed the final blow but I still set them up! So yah…I'd say it's a fair shot we can take on this jackass to."

"Guessing is not good enough." Astra spat out bitterly." Not when you have a psychopath who wants to blow up every universe in the Multiverse at once to absorb all the energy at the same time. Tsc, all to try and have some sick monopoly over everything there is."

Vadim raised an eyebrow before she cleared her throat." You…you know that's what this enemy that chased you outside your universe wants?"

"I mean when he outright rants about that, sure as hell seems like that's his plan. Normally if anyone said he owned a company called "Infinite Conquest and Victory Incorporated" would sound like a totally out of touch jackass, but this Sieg guy…so far he really seems like he can back everything he says he wants to do."

Masaki had his jaw drop before an older male voice said." You fought the leader of IV&C?"

The group looked to the right and saw a man with silver hair in a red and black military uniform carrying a large sword walked up before the blond woman rolled her eyes." Who wants to know dude?"

"I am Sänger Zonvolt, the sword that smites evil!" Sanger fiercely responded as he slammed his blade into the ground with enough impact to shake the hanger bay. Zonvolt looked at Astra in her eyes before narrowing his own." And you say you fought the master of these agents of chaos?"

Mike paused before clearing his throat." So, you guys have been fighting these guys to? You were able to fight Sieg and survive?"

"No…we just fought a giant golden monster that said he was a "Golden Premium" " Subscriber" of this order, and it took everything we had to destroy it. He kept ranting he was fighting on behalf of the "all mighty" Jigen Gorath Yuuzahn."

Mike winced before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Oh, so you fought one of those guys to, eh? Bad news for you buddy, that's Sieg's " Other name", dude seems like he changes names as much as he changes suits.

Still…Sieg does seem to get a kick out of turning desperate people into monsters. So, he invaded your universe to?"

"He tried to." Vadim grimly answered." We defeated the vanguard and defended La Gias. But it was clear that this IV&C was not only as imposing as the Aerogaters, The order of Chrono, the" Inspectors", the Quaestors, and the others, but they truly might be the greatest, and most dangerous enemies we ever fought.

No wonder the other universes were so frantic to form this Multiversal Rebel Alliance."

"Alliance?" Mike blurted out." What…what are you talking about? How big an army are we talking about here?"

Vadim paused before she took a deep breath." Honestly, we don't know. We joined because we agreed we needed to unite to overcome an enemy of such magnitude. We only met an envoy."

"Did…did he look like someone like me but a bit older and less curly hair? Did you remember hearing the name Auro? I know it's a long shot but…wondering if it could be my father."

Vadim paused before she sighed." I honestly have no idea. We did not meet the envoy from the alliance, we were just told the envoy had proof of why we had to team up with as many universe's as possible to overcome this enemy.

We met soldiers and commanders from this alliance but not their leader. It, it seems to be on purpose as they were hiding from the enemy, this" Sieg" from knowing where to find them.

If what your saying is true then…I can see why the leaders of this alliance would be taking such precautions. I do know that there was refugees from more than one universe, but it seems this Sieg really is powerful enough to try and subjugate the entire Multiverse so, I just don't have an answer for you to be blunt."

Masaki saw Mike's dismay before the mech pilot smirked and patted the lanky man on his back." Hey man don't give up hope yet! Me and the whole SRX team here have gone through some WAY crazy things and came out on top! Wait till you hear how we bailed out one of our teammates from breaking free from the jackass that cloned him just to exist as his slave! Don't mean to brag but are super robots really are, whoa!"

In a flash Astra had her blade at the green haired man's throat. As everyone got alarmed she saw Masaki's shock and rolled her eyes." Even if your Mech's kick as much ass as you hype them up to be, not gonna help yah if your opponent owns you before you can turn them on eh?"

"Hey normally we are ready to fight the moment we know we have enemies to fight."

Astra looked around before she rolled her eyes." Talk is cheap dude. If you guys are so great what are you doing stuck between universe's anyway? Trying to ambush some target in between universe's or something?"

As Masaki let out an uneasy chuckle, Zonvolt grasped his blade tightly." I concede this is not are best moment woman. We indeed might have become too full of ourselves, for we sought to travel to our next universe. Alas are path was cut short unexpectedly, leading to where we currently are. Its only because my comrades are as good as they are that we still are alive to talk to you this very moment."

As Mike and co responded with a mix of shocked and alarmed expressions Masaki had his eye twitch." Hey I checked everything on my end Zonvolt! Kyousuke, Ryuusei, and Crow all said things were clear so none of us dropped the ball. Something unexpected sure as hell happened though.

See we use a thing called a "Crossgate" To travel between universes, but are path suddenly got ruptured before we ended up in this Between-Space. I don't know, the data seemed right but suddenly things went out of wack.

We been through a hell of a lot of crazy stuff, a gravity shock-wave from when the mecha Excelion sent us into the future in the universe we are in at the time, but even that does not seem as crazy as what happened here."

Mike paused before he looked back and sighed." Well, if I'm being honest it's only been a day since I knew the Multiverse was not someone's crazy story idea man. But, I mean we saw Sieg blow up an entire universe and take control of are universe's time-stream so I mean…that's what blew us out here so maybe it's the same as you?"

As Masaki shrugged, Vadim closed her eyes and flicked her hair out of her face." We have been here for at least a day, but its…possible. Crossgates and the nature of traveling from one universe to another is a tricky process. Your familiar with the nature of hyperspace travel?

Well, it's a process that requires even more finesse. If, a universe was destroyed, it could disrupt and unravel the pathway. I suppose the fact that we are still alive is a miracle in itself. However, being trapped in the nexus between universe's could lead to a fate worst then death if it's just a slow death that awaits us."

Megaman winced before he cleared his throat." Wait…so you're saying because your process got interrupted now we are stuck here forever?"

Vadim sighed before she glanced at the Flutter." It's not impossible to travel to another universe without a Crossgate…just much more difficult. Talking fully about the nature of Multiverse travel would require an entire semester's worth of info, but the" Gist" of it is that it part of the machinery involves interdimensional extrapolator, which is an instrument that allows the user to open breaches; either to move between different universes, or to allow instant transportation between different locations within the same universe.

The Crossgate can perfectly hon in on another universe, but it's possible without it. The problem is that without the Crossgate the process to track on the signature of a universe is a lot more complex."

Ratchet winced before he rubbed his head." Doctor Nefarious seemed to figure it out without too much hassle, but of course as stubborn as he was, as soon as he could have been helpful he bit it, along with everyone else that freaky monster Sieg had devoured."

As a few of the others looked dismayed Cortex looked around before he cleared his throat." So, um…you guys forgot I did work on the Rift Generator to, right? Maybe Nefarious and Tropy were planning to team up with Emperor Nefarious to screw me over all along but I did see more than enough things for how it was supposed to work and even figured out how to fix some of the problems we had! I mean, I don't know about how things stand across the whole Multiverse but at least where I am from, I am still a genius!"

All of the mad scientists former creations gave him the evil eye before he let out a sigh of exasperation." Oh, come on you think I want to be trapped here? I wanted to find quiet but this is to quiet!"

"No." Tawna answered bluntly." But you do seem like enough of a rat to say the device is one thing then try and screw us over and just warp yourself out or something."

"Oh, come on! As much as I have the urge to just run to some universe where I can just relax at the beach for ever knowing that Sieg and his IV&C goons want to wreck every universe figuring out how to stop him is the only way to get some peace!"

While he still had scores of eyes look at him Clank paused before the robot tugged his Lombax allies arm." Ratchet…Nefarious did give me some data on his plan when he tried to make me do his bidding.

I think I know enough to make sure things are going as he say they are. However, I don't know if we can just reproduce the materials needed in this…kind of environment."

Masaki saw Clank's enthusiasm before he chuckled." Hey, it might not be as hard as you think robo dude. The SRX team has members from more than a few universes, and guys like Ryuusei, Rand, and some of the others in are crew pride themselves in being able to make enough spare parts to make sure are guys are not screwed over. Don't expect it to be done at the snap of a finger, but give us enough data and we might be able to figure it out."

Vadim eyed Clank intently before glancing back at the Flutter." If your ship has any data about your universe's, unique nature, it might help us."

Roll winced before she let out an uneasy chuckle." I mean…I'm all for getting out of here faster but as proud of my ship as I am it was just a simple travel ship for a long time. The Time Patrol agents just hardly finished upgrading the ship before we were attacked again."

Sarah Lance chuckled before she patted the shorter blond woman on the back." Don't worry, it was quick but your ship got upgraded in-time to be compatible with Gideon, the interactive artificial consciousness programmed to operate the Waverider and all Time Patrol ships critical systems.

Ava…cared about doing the job right to the end. So…we got to do this right."

Vadim nodded before she took a deep breath." It looks like this meeting might just be helpful for both of us. Well, it will take time to pull this together either way so, we might as well discuss this more over a meal."

Mike saw how the rest of his group looked sightly more relaxed before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Well long as no monsters between the universe's try to come to eat us guess that sounds like a good thing eh?"

2B looked outside the hanger bay before she shrugged." Scanners don't detect any hostile forces in range, so it seems conditions are ok for now."

Mike paused as images of Sieg and the others acts flashed across his mind and he looked around." Well, I know you guys are not slacking on the job 2B. It's just…after seeing everything those guys have done…after following us to the Time Nest…guess you can say that guy knows how to stay in your head.

But…sounds like he really thought we went down with everyone else so, maybe we got one on him for now. Still…better tell you the full story so you know just what you're up against. Hopefully, hopefully it will be enough."

Masaki saw how shaken up Mike looked before he nodded." Sounds like this guy's really trying to win the "biggest jackass in any universe award." Eh? I'm not going to say this is going to be easy, but this guy is not unstoppable, or we would not be here right now eh? Just got to get a grip on things."

Mike saw how passionate the man forms another universe looked before he smirked back." Thanks man. It's true, even if Sieg is a true" Elritch sixth dimensional being" who goes through universes and time like nothing…if there was nothing that could stop him we would already be dead.

So…just got to hope there is still enough time for one crazy bet, on a lot of things. Still first thing's first, how about showing me what the cuisine from other universe's is like? Might as well make the most of things and all."

The green haired man laughed before the refugees from the Prime Universe saw that it seemed they could relax, for the moment, hoping that they truly eluded their attackers long enough to regain their bearings.

But little did they realize that the IV&C was seeking to show just who was now calling the shots now in the Prime Universe.

---

The groups that were actively trying to see the demise of the Bethel Kingdom were not sure what to expect from hearing a being casually smashed a sun into a planet with god like power.

The Vought clan and their agents worried that Ben Auro had returned to seek revenge and had become a god of raw fury, but the people who currently craved the destruction of everything Ben Auro has were caught off guard when they were given a simple request to have a business meeting.

To show his power, Homelander smashed countless planets and moons together to make the Vought capital be shaped as a planet that looked like him, using his clan's technology along with the Blarg's to make a human shaped planetoid stable.

There was only one city on the entire planet, known as either "Night City" or Mekacity, and officially the entire human shaped city was Homelander's palace, with everyone there existing to be "His staff" or guests.

On the building serving as the capital of Mekacity the city-wide planet, Arasaka Tower, that served as the image of authority over the neo-militaristic skyline around the Corpo Plaza, Sieg and Mary were casually landing on the balcony of the tower that served as either to some a monument to corporate power, to others a symbol of oppression on a giant black warship.

The warship belonged to a member of the Vought Clan, Ragnayael, head of the UND fleet of the Vought clan.

Awaiting them was Homelander, and most of the others of the Seven, including another member who was a male clad entirely in black ninja like armor.

Homelander saw Sieg and Mary walk out of the ship before the caped man raised an eyebrow." Ok seriously guys…this some sort of joke? Just after his son slips away the "Last Emperor" just makes a call after growing facial hair? Is…is he giving up?"

A black colored man in a business suit cleared his throat before going up to the "Superman." This Sieg V-Day requested an audience with you, and while he clearly has some substantial forces with him, he let Ragnayael and Adam Smasher escort him here without any argument."

Homelander paused before he saw the red skinned man with green eyes, Ragnayel, and the towering cyborg known as Adam Smasher walk alongside the two" Guests" before he grinned." Edgar…sounds like one way or another the dude realizes who deserves to be rule."

"Or he is so confident about things he thinks he and that woman are all that is needed to kill us all."

Homelander saw the man in black nod before he rolled his eyes," Oh you always think of the worst possible choice Black Noir! Look if they are too powerful to care then why bother at all and just attack eh?"

The silent knight remained silent before Stormfront giggled and rubbed Homelander's shoulders." President Stan just means be ready for anything eh babe? We saw how Omni-Man tried to troll everyone with that stunt sucking up to Auro right?"

Homelander winced before he saw Brainwave and cracked his neck." You can sense his thoughts if he's pulling something right?"

The bearded man saw everyone was looking at him before he nodded." Of course."

"Then let's do this!"

Sieg saw everyone looking at him before he let out a small but sharp smirk." Gentlemen, I must say I seen quite a lot of places in my day but I must say that this "Night City", this entire planet molded to reflect the will of its leader, is a true marvelous testament to ambition. And trust me, I seen my fair share of capitals."

Homelander saw Sieg's expression looked sincere before he burst out laughing." Man, this is a riot! Either you're really Ben Auro and lost your mind, or your some poor son of a bitch who has his face and does not know what he's doing!"

Mary saw Homelander's smugness and sighed before Sieg pat her on the shoulder and walked up with a casual shrug." Greetings Homelander…but before I introduce myself you should know you got it wrong. Ben Auro was the one who was badly imitating me."

"Oh yah?" The "Champion" of the Vought Clan retorted as he crossed his arms." Well then let's cut to the chase here and get to what the hell this is all about? I know you wiped out the Klingons like it was nothing even though they had the Zeta Halo AND that anti Getter mecha thing! But you also attacked Bethel Kingdom forces so what's the deal? If you think offing some of your own pawns is enough to dupe me then think again!"

Sieg saw Homelander's eyes glow before he merely shrugged." You're clearly a busy man so I'll get right to the point. You are aware of the hole in space caused by when Ben Auro and Doug Fitter clashed right?"

Homelander and the others blinked a bit before he looked in the sky." Wait…so you came from that? So that bastard was not just drunk when he said he was breaking a hole in space?"

"Oh…he had no idea what he was doing, but nevertheless, the short version is that clash, beckoned me here."

"Oh yah? And what you want to do here? You want to try and take what's mine?"

Sieg's grin only widened as he made a beckoning gesture." Oh you have the wrong idea I assure you. Let me properly introduced myself. I'm Sieg "V-Day" Edal, owner of the Infinite Victory & Conquest corporation, and most of all, I am the man who wins. And ladies and gentlemen, I want to help make you and all the other winners in the universe win again and become the ultimate winners."

Stormfront giggled before she leaned forward." Well having the" King of light" grovel is kind of what we wanted right? But talk is cheap "Sieg". If you're admitting we are the winners then what does a loser have to offer us?"

Sieg closed his eyes before he let out a chuckled that caused the Seven to pause before he looked around." Oh…it never gets old enlightening those who understand so…so little. I'm a man of many talents, and I can use those talents to free you of your…flaws."

The leader of IV&C snapped his fingers, before a large crystalline broadsword with a purple and black color taller than the man who conjured it formed out of the ground. Homelander saw Sieg effortlessly grasp the blade with one hand before his eyes widened." What…the…hell? That…that's Auro's sword the Divine Mugen Nova! You think painting it purple will trick me?"

Sieg saw Homelander's eyes glow red before he shrugged." Again, you misunderstand that your jumping to conclusions based on the actions of someone who diluted my brand.

My Mukagen Nega Void is not a "Gift" from some" god" but the tool I forged to properly express my will. Yes…a mere extension of my will, but it is ideal for cutting through lies, charlatans, and what not. For you see Homelander, as a showing of my good will."

In the blink of an eye Sieg was behind the Seven, and even the more alert members such as A-Train and Black Noir realized they were cut across the chest and that Sieg's Mukagen Nega Void had blood at its tip.

Homelander suddenly realized his chest had a surge of pain erupting from it before he grasped the sudden wound." What? Son of a, GUH!"

Sieg shrugged as the Seven" Champions" of the Vought Clan, along with Brainwave fell to the ground before he cracked his neck." A pity it had to come to this, but what does not destroy us makes us stronger yes? After all its only from pain can you awake and see what the true problem is, eh Mister Edgar?"

The main in the business suit broke into a cold sweat before he cleared his throat." Excuse me? I'm sorry if there is a misunderstanding but I fail to see what you're talking about Mister V-Day."

"Oh come now Mister Edgar…can't you at last come clean? You put on a good game but your times of being a parasite to the winners is quite over.

You did quite well to hustle your superiors for so long but this game where you leech off your superiors to be your own enforcers is quite over."

"Sir I don't know what passes as a joke from where you're from, but I assure you its lackluster humor to me. The point is... that you are under a misconception that we are a superhero company. We are not.

What we are, really, is a pharmaceutical company. I, Homelander and the others may have had are differences, but it's been clear I always had the best interests of our clan in,"

Edgar was cut off when Homelander suddenly smashed the ground with his fist hard enough to make the entire building shake. The man in the cape grasped his head before he seethed out," Edgar…you damn rat! You dare mock me right in front of my face, dissing my man Sieg like that? Even if you made me forget it…you're going to pay thinking you could erase our bond so easily!"

Edgar, and everyone else in the area broke into a cold sweat before he cleared his throat." Homelander…John…let's talk about this because I think we have a serious misunderstanding here."

"Oh we have a misunderstanding here alright!" Homelander snarled out." You thought you could trick me…and here's what you get for it!"

Edgar only had time to yell out before the man that just moments ago treated him as a "Adviser" unleashed an optic blast that vaporized the man in the suit in seconds.

Homelander saw the ashes of the former top member of the Vought clan before his eye twitched." I'll send the remains to those damn Viltrumite bastards as a warning! Piff…to think he almost had us fooled…thanks for waking us the hell up Sieg."

The man in the tuxedo with a goatee shrugged before offering a hand." Well, it did take some time off of my timetable but, such things are required to keep the business on track from time to time. After all…that's what teammates are for, eh John?"

Homelander shook Sieg's hand like they were long time brothers before the head of IC&V waved at the others." Alas because of this setback, we will have to step it up a bit to keep things from going off track. After all, we don't want the Viltrumite clan and the others from taking what is rightfully ours yes?"

"Hell no!" Homelander snarled out." So, time to go and…wait what were we about to do again?"

"Heh…your confusion is due to the meddling Edgar and the others did to you. It will fade in time, but a newer associate of mine, Gingrich will get you up to speed. It's vital we stop are enemies in time before they undermine the victory we have invested so much time in. So why don't you Seven go with Ragnayael to clean out the sort losers from are property?"

"Ah hell yah let's do this! After woulds I'm making sure the TNT Twins throw one hell of a Herogasm so I can get the reward I deserve!"

Homelander, and the other "champions" of the Vought clan went up to the red-haired man…who saw everyone looking at him eagerly before he winced and nodded. As the men that were Elgar's peers saw Homelander go away like he was doing what he planned to do all along, before Adam Smasher stepped back." You…you brainwashed Homelander? I thought…I thought they had stuff to prevent that!?"

Sieg chuckled before he glanced at his blade." Oh…they might have some precautions, but I did something far above something so simple. Because I will it so, my sword can aside from the tasks of a normal blade, it can function to insert myself into the target's past.

No, more like it splits the past of whomever it cuts. This ability works not by manipulating time and memories, but by literally inserting my presence into the victim's history. Victims of this power recognize me as someone closely connected to their personal lives, whether it is as family, friend, or lover. I can even usurp the roles of other individuals in the victims' histories.

Likewise, I gain comprehensive knowledge of his victims' memories. This power takes hold regardless of whether the victim trusted me before being cut. You were aware of the plan Ben Auro once had with the Angels of this universe right? That farce called the Homeostasis Axiom Matrix connection yes? It seems even after centuries he still insisted he just did not see the full picture and just wanted to unite the universe in harmony.

Heh...I don't bother pretending to wrap my motives in" Noble" causes...unlike Auro I don't need to justify my desires with moral virtues to see them through, I just want to control everyone and everything and destroy anything that dares deny me my destiny and know that everyone will be better off because its only natrual that things are better when being ruled by the best of the best."

A man in a suit like Edgar, but with a beard wince before stepping back." Why…why tell us all this just before you're going to kill us?"

Sieg merely broke into a laugh as he closed his eyes." You misunderstand. I mean every word I just said, and yet I'm not hear for a senseless slaughter. I assure you, if I wanted to even Homelander would only have enough time to curse me as he shattered to pieces. Stanford "Stan" Edgar was a demonstration to just what I can do. But I'm going to require "middlemen" to run things and if I don't have to waste time investing new things then it's a win win yes? After all."

Sieg looked at the breaded man before he smirked," Niander Wallace of the Wallace Corporation that is the number one producer of replicants," He turned to a younger man with more Asian features," Saburo Arasaka of the Arasaka Corporation," He then glanced at a woman in an elegant red dress and smirked." Chief Cortical Stack manager Danica Harlan,"

He then glanced at another among the" Group", a short, devil-looking man with blonde hair, shifty eyes and a Hitler-style Toothbrush Mustache. He wore an expensive-looking robe and several rings the most often one a ruby red but slightly pink jewel for his right hand middle finger before saying,"Daytron president Valkog Drazer,"

Sieg noticed an anxious Chairman Drek in the corner before his grin widened." And of course Drek Industries own chairman. You all did rather well keeping things running in such a chaotic, broken universe. And if you were able to endure Homelander's chaotic whims odds are good you have a place in my business."

Drek blinked a few times before he tugged his collar." Wait…you're giving us a choice? Why not just do what you did to the Seven?"

"Because being one note brings on stagnation. Besides…honestly, it's far more fun knowing your terrified every moment, wondering if you dare risk having the ones you normally trust tear you apart knowing there is nothing you can do but push your luck. So then…what's it going to be?"

Danica tugged her collar before she gave out a wan smile." We will all be so happy to serve such a…accomplished man Mr. V-Day. Just tell us how we can help and we will all be too happy to be part of your business."

"Well…we will see if you have the merit to belong as IV&C employees soon enough, but that's a good start. Well…if you can keep things on my timetable by the time I get back, you just might have a future yet."

"Back?" Arasaka uttered in confusion." You plan to strike down Omni-Man and the rest of the Viltrumite tribe? Or…finish off the Bethel Kingdom?"

Sieg still looked amused before he looked at the sky." That's right…most of this universe still has no idea of the true nature of things. Well…I expect you to learn quickly if you're going to last as my employee.

Let's just say…there are even more stubborn clowns out there that don't know their time has long passed. But…soon everyone not just in this universe, but all the universes will be forced to concede who the biggest winner of them all is once and for all."

Sieg turned around without even bothering to let anyone ask him more questions before Mary cleared her throat." While all of the most noteworthy pests are now swept away, you still want to leave that fool overseeing the Prime Universe while the Viltrumite clan, and the remains of Auro's army still linger?"

"Why?" Sieg answered bluntly." You think anyone left is anything I fear? The Multiverse Rebel Alliance is the thing most effecting my bottom line at the moment. But it's just a incentive to crush the delusion of freedom across the entire multiverse.

I tell you that man has no more tormenting care than to find someone to whom he can hand over as quickly as possible that gift of freedom with which the miserable creature is born.

Despite how badly such losers delude themselves...no matter how hard they hope, there is no knowledge that can supply them with the means to win as long as they remain " Free." so, in the end, all the masses that want to feel something good in there sad worthless lives. And that is why they will lay there freedom at our feed and say," Enslave us, but feed us!"

And that's when they finally understand that freedom and the assurance of a daily meal for everyone are two incompatible notions that can never truley coexist for long in any universe. They will discover that men can never be free because they are weak, corrupt, worthless, and restless. And that's when they will not care about anything but winning, and pledge there very souls to me. But to do that it won't end till all the losers are crushed forever.

In the end I don't care if Homelander, Omni-Man, and the rest of the" Tribal leaders" wipe each other out by the end, but keeping Homelander on my leash will ensure either he takes someone out or at least does not do anything foolish while I tidy up things across the multiverse.

In the end none it's all just investing to keep the Prime Universe manageable while I take care of business, and then none of these fools will matter for long. Tell me Mary…just how many people thought they could stop me by now?"

The red-haired woman smirked before she flicked her hair out of her eyes." Oh…counting are recent venture at the Time Nest the count would round out to, 89,234, 253,643, 852,234, 136,183, 936 souls that thought they could beat you, only to lose...give or take."

"Heh, and the vast majority of them thought either justice or destiny was on there side…but in the end there can only be one true winner. And every last fool like Ben Auro across the multiverse will see what things such as heroics will truly be worth under my new rule. At last all the."

Before he could finish Danica cleared her throat and walked up." Er…president V-Day? Would you like a drink before you go?"

The man who conquered countless universe's saw all of his" New Staff" looked on edge before he let out a calm but stoic smirk." I won't blame you for trying, but I assure you, a man as productive as me has no time for minor formalities I only put leisure time on my time table when all of my objectives are complete. After all...at the end of my endgame...every moment there after will be one where I have absolute control over everything there is, and then all winners will win as a result."

The hostess gulped before she tripped and the glass she was supposed to offer fell. As it shattered her boss had her eye twitch." That's coming out of your paycheck Bancroft!"

She snapped her fingers and a balding old man with scars and bruises all over his face in a grey janitor outfit staggered out. He glanced at Sieg and Mary briefly, causing the self-proclaimed Six Dimensional being to see the janitor had a scar on his face, before the employee winced, kept his head down and cleaned up the spilled drink.

Danica saw Sieg observe this before she cleared her throat and glanced at the janitor's name tag." We have workers do extra tasks instead of droids at times to pay off their debts. I understand it can seem inefficient but it's a way to keep a close eye on…redundancies so they don't just roam around aimlessly and clog up are roads.

A way to squeeze out profits of even the most worthless dreck yes? You…Dean right? Your still supposed to clean Ally's room by the end of the hour before covering the rest of the "special" cases rooms!"

Sieg saw Dean just gave a sullen nod before trying to clean faster and he snickered with delight." Oh I understand entirely. Keeping the most worthless aspects of society on a tight leash so that the more worthwhile aspects don't be bogged down is an effective tactic, as long as its properly oversaw.

Regardless of if robots will do the work faster, I won't deny there is a pleasure to making losers suffer every moment with the fear of losing there one shot of joy, knowing how utterly powerless they are to do anything about it. Unlike others I have nothing against malice against the weak as long as it does not interfere in over all productivity.

After all...the most basic rule of nature that stays the same from universe to universe, is that the winners defines life for the losers. And the most pure expression of power, is how much control the powerful have over the powerlessness, being able to make someone suffer without any chance at revenge is just proof of absolute superiority.

Yes…one universe after another is bogged down by the insanity of the weak, and their foolish desires are so stubborn that they regrow like weeds.

But even if I have to amass the power to shatter the entire Multiverse at once…if that's what it takes to put the losers in their place, then that's just what it takes to truly realize the perfect, absolute victory.

So come Mary…Wayne, Rogers, Drakkon and the rest of the team will oversee the" assimilation" while we attend to things so lets see if we can't root out Gaio," Xeno" Franklin Richards, Kalel of Krypton, and that" Xeno" Goku in universe 123488.23497 to terminate some of the peskier members of that" Alliance" and bring this pathetic tale that is heroism to end across all time and space eh?"

"Sounds delightful." Mary answered calmly." No matter how many fools protest…they can't hold back the song of true glory for long. After all…it's the true destiny of all life in this" Game" of god. We have seven quadrillion units ready to deploy."

"Heh…I suppose that will suffice for the first phase. Now then...to dominate Infinity...and beyond."

Mary's eyes glowed before she snapped her fingers, and the Totality suddenly appeared above the human shaped planet. The golden castle's master had his eyes glowed before he and Mary warped into their base.

A moment later the HQ of IV&C had the space to its right ripple, before it casually transverse from the Prime Universe to universe 123488.23497 to resume going after every universe across the Multiverse that was actively opposing Sieg.

As his new" employees," saw the massive energy that was the divided in universes rippled and slowly close, Chairman Dreck blinked a few times before he looked around to make sure Sieg was not around, and cleared his throat." So…now what?"

Danica saw her coworkers were looking at her before her eye twitched." What else? We keep making sure things go as business as usual! After all…you don't want to get on the bad side of someone who could so casually handle Homelander and Brainwave right? He could easily have killed us if he wanted to. All…all he wanted to do was show what happened if anyone tried to double cross him."

Valkog saw Dean and another janitor clean up Egar's corpse before he fanned himself with a small fan and let out a small delirious laugh." I mean…he said it himself right? He values useful people, and understands we are here for a reason, right?

I mean…why would we ever cross someone who would be so profitable? Direct ruler ship is too much of a hassle so if he wants to do that then works for me! Long as we get a cut of what he's doing then even if it's a little more extra work it sounds like a good deal to me!"

Arasaka saw Adam Smasher, and two other robotic body guards " Seed" and the " Apparitor look at him before he closed his eyes." We did not survive this long caring about things as worthless as morals.

Mr. V-Day without a doubt seems so very effective at grasping victory, what else matters? Come…we better make sure Homelander and the other members of the seven don't have any new erratic behavior that could turn up to be unhealthy, for us."

The ones that managed the Vought Clan's finances nodded before barking out new orders. While neither Sieg nor Homelander came back, someone else was watching. On one of the chunks of asteroid fragments two men were casually drinking beer, and it was none other than Doug and Higgs.

The former member of Squad 7 saw the golden castle move to another universe, and saw the new" Staff" just comfort each other before he spat on the ground, saw the spit freeze since it was outside the atmosphere, and just snicker." Man…what a bunch of spineless suck ups.

I'd kick this asteroid on their sorry asses right now if I don't feel like losing this buzz I got going. Still…knew "Bro" would show his true colors after he realized he could not get things the way he wanted! But no matter how much of a fit he throws he's not going to stop the rumbling no matter what!"

Higgs saw the wildness in Doug's eyes before he cleared his throat." So you really think that slick fella is Auro boss? He sure as hell made it clear he don't like being compared to your old teammate. And I mean…well we just saw him fly through another universe like its nothing."

"Piff." Doug responded dismissively." What's your point? Don't matter if Ben cracked and tried to put on another new personality that he thinks is the winner or if it's really him from another universe where he hit the jackpot…it's still one way or another one version of Benny boy or another who refuses to see things how it is.

Well I don't care how many universe's this "Infinite pompous jackass corporation" took over, just means that everyone in all of those universe's were not as badass as me!"

Higgs paused before he cleared his throat." If that's the case then why did you not just take him out now and, GUH!"

Doug punched Higgs in the gut before rolling his eyes." Don't be a dumbass if you want to keep drinking with me Higgs. No doubts this dude's got all kinds of ways to cheat honest folk if he's a version of Bro who's enough of a jackass to call himself the" Dude who always wins." I'm not going to just charge in so he can try and screw with my head again like he did with " The Boys". No way in hell is anyone tricking me to think the way they want me to think ever again!

Nah...I'm going to see how he does things, then show no matter how long he's does this, if he thinks he's too big to fail, too big to shrug off chaos, then he's going to look like one hell of a dumbass when I'm done with him! Heh…after all…life is never going to be chained down by one person's will, never!"

As the golden masked man besides him coughed a bit and nodded a new female voice suddenly uttered," Some like to say, "Where there's life, there's hope." But that's just a saying. After all…hope that goes nowhere won't really change anything will it?"

Suddenly Enna Kros casually walked up like she was walking across a park right up to Doug. While Higgs jumped up, Doug cracked his neck." Oh, your that chick who likes watching things and all that wants to watch more eh?"

Higgs saw Enna giggle before he got to his feet and had dark energy swirl around his fingers." What we got here? One of the angels who cracked under pressure?"

"Oh please, I'm a tad higher up on the food chain then those guys Higgs." Doug saw Higgs widen his eyes before he rolled his own." Don't stroke out on me just cause a dame no sells your poker face dude.

Kros is no damn holy puppet, she's the one who took over Cosmos's job after miss" Ethereal Queen of Light" got fired for not realizing how things worked, and got replaced by someone who can keep it real.

We chatted over the past few centuries to get a few laughs over how dumb people are clinging on to order, an't that right "Queen of Never's? Heard all those smug time traveling assholes got owned, and sounds like you did not do a thing about it."

"What can I say?" Enna responded cattily." Some of the people Sieg killed were people I knew for most of history. But...unlike Cosmos I put my ideals above all personal bonds."

" Guess that's why even centuries later angels are crying for Cosmos over yah cause they don't like the step mom eh? We may not be best pals but I sure as hell respect someone willing to pass up on" popularity" to keep to there values unlike my former "Bro".

And I guess since we did not both randomly turn to dust despite what all the moaners cry out for the One Above All still is giving us passing scores on our jobs since he did not have Cosmos and Zannacross two take our place...unless Sieg is that guy eh?"

"Even now...its not Sieg's destiny to win over all...but it is the Source's test to the entire multiverse over what truly is the most dominate force, no matter how much my former fellow celestial ones can't understand it.

No matter how much the angels and all the other" forces of light and justice" wanted me to be like Cosmos, I made it clear my view on what was the preferred balance of order and chaos was not going to be what they wanted. Life keep's changing, but it's always most interesting seeing those who embrace what life is…is that not right Mister Fitter?"

"Hell yah." Doug uttered as he cracked his neck." And that's why I've seen enough to know who's ass to kick. What…you telling me I can't get involved because it's God's plan or something? I don't care if we enjoyed a few drinks, I'm not giving ground to nobody!"

"Oh I'm not going to do something as boring as that. No…its God's plan for you to be you after all. It's true…for a long time the One-Above-All wanted the universe's of the Multiverse to be kept apart.

After all…if someone saw there was a version of themselves that had a better life a lot of them would be hell bent on taking that "Happier" person's spot. But…to be frank, screw "balance".

The simple fact is after years of trying to keep balance, the fact is its more enjoyable to see who will come out on top out of all creation over rules and regulations, those who can't deal with it can either survive or perish because in the end, God is not truly beholdened to anyone or anything but his own desires. All the trillions of beings of order that thought his will was more to it can do nothing but suffer at this truth that if he decides he no longer values what they exist for after billions of years...then its just how it is.

Because above all else nature is not fair, nature will do what it wants, so those who can't live by the rules of nature just were not good enough to keep up with the demands of life.

Sieg, and the Negaverse was a force to extreme to be allowed to interact with the rest of the Multiverse, but after what you and Brad did God decided to just go for it and see what will survive unleashing ultimate fury, rage, and desire on all of existence.

Doug rolled his eyes before glancing down below." You can hype it up all you want but just because your pissed off don't mean your naturally entitled to win.

Don't care if the "Underside" of the Multiverse is where this game called life is set to the highest difficulty setting or something, just cause you start out with an edge don't mean other folk can't catch up if they are hell bent on doing it.

After all I was just a normal guy till I was pissed off at all the "elites" looking down on me, and if there are even more elite jackasses in other universe's then it's the same deal!"

"Heh…its true one's past does not define one's future." Enna answered coy." But the simple fact is that the conditions of the Negaverse were a environment that drove both Sieg and Mary to such lengths that they in time amassed powers that allowed them to surpass even beings like Cosmos, Zannacross, the Beyonder, and yourself. Tell me, just how do you plan to overcome that?"

Doug saw the" Queen of Never's" Looked curious before he burst out laughing." Plan? I thought you knew I don't do plans by now eh? Don't need it, I got this far on instinct, and I'm going to be true to myself till I die.

Still, now I know for sure I feel like a multiverse road trip. I want to see who's badass enough to have a legit drink with me across as many universe's as I can, I want to see just how this " V-Day" does things on his home turf, and after I have enough drinks I'm going to have a party were me and all the fellas strong enough to hang with me that are on the level are going to kick Sieg's ass to shut down this piece of crap plan of his.

Higgs…you and the rest of the Equalizers do whatever you can to make sure this universe is full of chaos while I'm on this road trip. Don't do anything stupid like pick fights you can't win, just make Sieg, Homelander, Omni-Man and the rest feel like dumbasses for thinking they could control things!

Tsc, I tell you what, the only way to teach these people is to kill them. And if I have to bring enough universe level wrecking dudes to break this up and settle this then that's just what I'm going to do! "

Higgs saw the fire in his boss's eyes before he cleared his throat." Trying to be the true extinction entity eh boss man? What about your, well, what about Astra?"

Doug paused before he snickered." What about her? Did I say go after her? She's a big girl who's made her own choices Higgs, she's free to live free or die hard if she wants. If I wanted to have a "Nice peaceful wholesome" family thing going on, then I'd be in Bro's joke of a society in the first place right? I made sure she was tough enough to not be prey, I did my dues as a father. And nothing else will matter if these "Nega" assholes put their leashes on everyone."

"Sure thing. Er...sorry none of the others are here for back up. After all that's happened everyone is just lying low till the" Heat's down". But...once they see this Sieg's not gunning for them they will be up to as much chaos as ever."

Doug snickered before shrugging." You think I'm gonna bitch and moan that I don't have all my crew with me like Ben Higgs? I did not want no baggage with me during this roadtrip during the first place! Don't need to beat around the bush dude I know I don't have any " real friends" at this point and I'm just fine with keeping it real.

Unlike Ben...who kept insisting he was just" another one of the guys" while also demanding everyone respect him as the" Voice of god" I know no one can relate to me now that everyone I grew up with is dead.

I never saw everyone these days as my " Pals". I enjoy the parties but I don't pretend any of you understand me, by now the only people who understand me want to make my head there trophy, and I"m just fine with that.

All of this is because Ben and the other wuss's wanted the universe to be one happy family, but I don't need that, cause I always knew how much a load of crap that all was! I enjoy drinks with yah and the others not to kill yah Higgs but I know we are not " Bros". " Unlike my " former squad mates" I don't expect anything other then a moments of peace during hanging out, I'm fine trying to kill each other right after cause I'm fine with a life of chaos, but because all these dumbasses keep trying to make people be friends that don't want to be friends that they are just begging to get there asses kicked!"

Enna giggled in amusement before she leaned up." You know…despite how much you cherish freedom I have found it odd that you stuck around when you could easily have left to another universe by now after you first caused a rift to the Multiverse to break open."

Doug paused, before he snickered." Guess I'm having too much fun trolling the assholes around here. But…it's becoming clear that the only way to keep that up is to kick some ass. Don't matter how many universe's you have under your command or how" Evolved" a being you are Sieg. If your trying to take away my freedom I'll punch yah till you stay down!

Don't care if no one else agrees with me in every universe there is, don't care if everyone calls me selfish, crazy, or anything else! Cause the freedom to enjoy what I want, when I want, is so important that I'll never stop fighting, NEVER!

I truly just don't give a damn about anything or anyone but what will bring me joy next no matter how it effects anyone else, if that choice for joy makes everyone in all universe's miserable then I don't give a damn.

If everyone else there is thinks I'm a selfish asshole then make me shut up OR SHUT UP cause the only way I'll give up doing what brings me personal joy is if someone else is strong enough to make me stop what I'm doing.

Astra, it's up to you to find what you give a damn about. I don't expect you to just get in line with what I want. But whatever it is, you, and even bro's pansy son can't see it through without fighting for it.

If you win, you live. If you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win. Guess we will find out once and for all if order or chaos is the strongest desire of them all…but I'm going to fight like hell to make sure freedom wins, even if I have to rumble enough to send waves across the whole damn Multiverse!

And when I do...when I pound all of creation hard enough at last people will give up on the load of crap that is order or "progress" so that only those who are content living as honest beasts, the only REAL men, are left! Only those who can live without lies are worth my respect, I hate anyone that needs order to live so damn much that I won't stop till there is no one left that dares think they are better then a honest man!

But first…time to see what universe has the best beer! Just do what the Equalizers are supposed to do Higgs, I'll sure as hell be back before the party going on here is over! YEEHA!"

With a wild primal cry Doug kicked the asteroid down into Night-City before flying at full speed into the rift between universe's. Enna saw Higgs warp off before the asteroid collided with the human shaped planet's defense shield and giggled as she floated in midair." My…even across the Multiverse his...passion stands out.

If fate unfolded differently he would just be a raging incoherent bitter old hobo, but he's a raging deranged incoherent old hobo with the power of the Devil.

For all his ideals on chaos...at this point he truly just loathes everything that does not accept him, like a beast that becomes consumed with fury at the smallest scent of anything hostile. Because he's good at first impressions but utterly fails to be able to manage anything longer then that surface level, in the end he just wants the universe to be to brutal for anyone to be able to have any thing that can last longer...so that no one can have anything more then him.

Zannacross may have been the Emperor of darkness, but Doug truly has descended into a being that's the embodiment of pure primal chaos and rage. One who has no plans but to spread chaos out of pure hatred for order and society itself out of hatred for not being accepted by order.

One way or another seeing what will result from his passion will be…a fun show. After all, may have had to pull a bit to keep some options open longer than they were normally going to be but, "funner" when the outcome is not completely set and all.

Once and for all…with "True Justice" looking more and more like a fading fantasy, time to see if anger, greed, or the simple primal desire to live is the most powerful motivational force out of them all.

In the end…no matter what it sure is going to be a showstopper. So…might as well pick out the snacks while there is still time. Well…first thing's first…let's see how Tama is doing with the coffee."

The "Queen of Never's" glanced to the right, smirked, and walked into space itself to vanish. In the direction she was looking at, and in the distance, so much distance that it was beyond the universe that those who caught her attention were trying their best to break out from there dismal situation.

---

While Mike, Astra, and the other newcomers to the Hagane were cautious for a few hours, after seeing Masaki and the others were not hostile, and seeing Sieg nor anyone else showing up to attack the group focused on figuring out how to get back to the Prime Universe.

Thankfully Cortex was true to his word, and with Clank and some of the SRX team overseeing him Masaki proved correct as there were just enough materials for Cortex to pull together what he needed. As a result, everyone had gathered on the ship's briefing room to plan things out.

Vadim saw everyone was in their red seats before she tapped the holographic board before her and nodded." Alright…there is no time to waste. Thanks to the efforts of this Doctor Cortex, the woman Roll, and the robot Clank we now have a plan to resume entering are targeted universe, one some have called the" Prime Universe."

Cortex smirked as he crossed his arms. "I'm just glad you guys had supplies of Phase Quartz and 3 3/4 Centicubit Hexagonal Washer of all things…there was only one place we could find that in the universe even with the Vought clan backing us!"

Masaki rubbed his nose before responding with a complacent," Hey something being rare in one universe is not too big a deal when you got more than one to shop around in eh? Helps my pal Ryuusei Date here keep his collection in peak condition, eh?"

His fellow teammate, a brown-haired man in a white and purple military uniform nodded before he glanced around." That's putting it lightly dude. Still…to think this universe has everything from realistic androids to toy like robots to Megamen all in one universe! Guess maybe it really is the" First" universe where most things came from eh? I got to get a look at the mobile suits and the other Super Robots when we touch down!"

Mike let out an uneasy chuckle before he leaned back." Hey man if you can help save are universe I think they will let you take back anything you want as a trophy. But…guess pulling that off is the key eh? So, we really have enough stuff to remake this Crossgate thing you guys use?"

"Not precisely." Vadim retorted." But your efforts will allow us to arm the Hagane with a sort of "Dimensionator "gun.

We will use that to open a portal to the "Prime" Universe. Using the data from the Flutter and the data we first set with the Crossgate before we got cut off we should be able to enter."

Astra winced before she chuckled bitterly." So, you're going to enter where we got kicked out? Ah hell we are just going to warp to what Sieg was about to destroy! Not sure what happens when a Universe's Axis of Time is destroyed but it sure as hell is a mess!"

"Don't worry about that." Vadim retorted." Are systems our precise enough to make sure we don't emerge in an area that would destroy the ship. All that remains…is to see if it all holds up."

Roll saw how uneasy Megaman, Barrel, Data, and the others looked before she cleared her throat." So…is there anything else you need us to do?"

"Just hold tight while my crew does its job Miss Barrel. Your ship's AI Gillian shawl help make sure the data is going correctly. We can make a few last second corrections to energy controls but at the moment, we have to have faith that we know what we are doing. Just sit tight, traveling across the Multiverse is not quite a cruise."

Astra just chugged a drink she had before she smirked." Well one way or another I'm tired of just looking at a bunch of floating chunks of junk outside so let's do this!"

Mike took a deep breath and hoped this was not all just one big joke as the Hagane, with the Flutter in tow flew a few minutes past where they found the Flutter before it stopped.

The ship paused before its new armament, the Dimensionator charged up purple energy before the round device fired a beam. The beam stopped in midair before it slowly started spreading.

Mike held his breath before Ryuusei paused, and smirked." Hey, you guys pulled it off! Its slow, but the energy is leading to a pathway to the Prime Universe! Once its big enough we can get into what will be normal space in your universe!"

Mike's eyes widened with hope before he leaned forward into his seat." Can't promise what welcome your going to get there my good man but at least it will be one! Hey maybe we at last are,"

A vibration suddenly nearly made the lanky man bite his tongue before he saw an alarm go off and winced." Can't even give me a minute eh Lady Luck? Please don't tell me Sieg's waiting past that portal."

Suddenly a deep voice boomed out." Trespassers…you will pay for trying to disturb the balance of the Multiverse."

Astra paused before she raised an eyebrow." Balance? Sieg sure as hell did not care about balance so this does not seem like him."

"That's because it's likely not." Zonvolt grit out as he stood up. "It sounds like one of those infernal Fuginauts!"

As Mike's eyes widened Masaki shrugged." These guys see themselves as a race of multiversal beings who guard the boundaries between universes, and get real cranky when they are broken. Normally we just skip past them with a Crossgate but well…now you know what we are were on a look out for when I ran into yah guys!"

"Well, if they are not working with Sieg at least that's one thing." Mike uttered dryly." Hey maybe we can just talk this…huh? Er…maybe not."

Mike's change in tone was directed by a monitor going up, to show a giant golden armored figure floating to the spaceship with glowing blue eyes. In its hands was a giant glowing rod, and it pointed this rod at the Hagane." Your vessel, its drenched in the bleed, the essence of those who pass between realities! Passage to the Prime Universe is closed on the authority of Adannu, headhunter of the Fuginauts!"

Astra had her eye twitch before she leaned down." Hey, we are trying to get out of here jackass so get off your high, very high horse and just let us go if you want us out of your turf so bad! Huh?"

Adannu 's eyes glowed red before it twitched." You ones…must be the ones who have been defying God's Multiverse! Such heresy…must be punished in the most severe way…without forgiveness!"

"Hey man you have the wrong idea!" Mike blurted out tensely." If your job's to keep an eye on things how about doing things, huh?"

The Fuginaut 's eye kept twitching before it roared out," No mercy for sinners…NO MERCY!"

Vadim took a look at the report the scanners were giving her before she winced." Like all the Fugianut's its power is "S" Class on the threat level, but something's off. The energy from its eye, it's been corrupted. Like something wounded it and left it…poisoned.

I'm not a expert on such creatures biology's , but its almost like if this being got hit hard enough to give it a concussion or something else that would scramble its mental judgment."

Astra rolled her eyes before she jumped up." Does sound like the kind of dick move Sieg would do to give you a idea of what we are up against. Well if you want to help it or bust it better make it clear now cause I have a policy of not letting jackass's think they can tell me what to do just cause they are taller!"

"Nice guts girl but leave this to us." Masaki retorted as he got up." We are in the space between universe's, no matter how strong you are its best to fight when you have the right gear cause there is no time to get a feel for how things work out here. Don't worry, you wanted to see if we are all talk well you're going to get your answer! Let's roll out plan Gamma to get this over with eh guys?"

The other mecha pilots all ran out before Astra looked around and sighed." Well…I am not really big on being pulled a fast one. Just don't botch this or I'm kicking your ass after I take down the giant punk eh?"

Everyone saw the Fuginaut raise its staff before Vadim tensed up." Get ready everyone, we won't have a second to waste here."

The commander of the Hagane had her ship pull some swift turns as Adannu fired golden energy blasts. Masaki was able to deploy Cybuster first, and after the Fuginaut noticed it the green haired pilot smirked." Alright let's roll! Arkashic Record Search!"

Cybuster stabbed the ground with its sword, creating a hexagram on his right hand and started to gather energy. The gathered energy then channeled to the sword. Cybuster summoned the hexagram from his right and then hit it with his left fist, releasing the energy of the hexagram. The energy was then be unleashed in the form of a bird made of flames.

The green haired man then had the Cybuster transform back into its bird like shape before roaring out," Get wrecked! Arkasahic Buster!"

Masaki then flew into his own projectile, before the Cybuster became a blazing blue bird. The attack slammed into Adannu, causing the giant golden being to stagger back. As it did the Fuginaut cried out," DAMN HEATHEN! You cannot deny your judgment!"

Adannu prepared to try and grasp the Cybuster, before a new male voice cried out," Hey dude…someone should have told you that me and the Super Robot X-Type are unstoppable? Well learn the hard way!"

Ryushi then flew out next, in a very large robot with an oddly shaped head that was shaped like a giant mask.

The head also featured a v-fin in reference to Gundam mecha. Much of the upper body and arms was colored with blue and while the stomach area and lower had an orange-red and white color. On the feet were very noticeable large white "blades".

This Super Robot X-type or SRX flew at the giant creatures head while Ryusei yelled out," You think you can beat us because your bigger eh? Rai, Aya! Let's give this lunkhead the full burst!"

"Right!" His woman green haired copilot, Aya, retorted." T-Drive set to maximum!"

His other co-pilot, the blond-haired man Rai then added," Tronium Engine sent to overdrive!"

Ryuusei saw the SRX glow green before he smirked." Hi-Finger Launcher! Telekinesis Missiles! Gaun Genocider!"

The giant robot had energy surge around its fingers and eyes as missile silos formed around its arm and legs before its pilots cried out," Supreme…Megaburst Barrage!"

The pilot unleashed a massive green energy blast, along with a dozen smaller blue energy blasts and dozens of missiles. The barrage made Adannu flinch back before crying out," No matter how hard you resist…you cannot defy judgment!"

While the Fuginaut raised its staff to deflect the projectiles, a new male voice cried out," WRONG!"

The so called" Monitor "of the Multiverse saw a blue and red mecha that resembled a Samurai ride out of the ship on a robotic horse before its pilot cried out," Those who stand before me will be crushed!

My name is Sanger Zonvolt, the sword that cleaves evil! Those who stand before me will be crushed regardless of size! Behold, the wrath of the flame cloud's blade!"

The Mecha on a robotic horse charged at the giant enemy before crying out," Roar, Dygenguar!"

The Dyagenguar's blade suddenly became consumed with red and purple energy before its pilot cried out," There is nothing my Zankanto cannot cut! Ikkitousen! CHESTUOO!"

The horse-riding machine became a cyclone of energy that collided with the Fuginaut's staff, hitting it hard enough to chip a large segment of it away. As the golden being widened its eyes in shock Vadim narrowed her eyes." Its energy is unstable! The more we short out its attacks the bigger the chain reaction will be, and the faster we can end this! Bullet disrupt it further!"

"Understood." Another cold voice declared as a new unit flew out, this one had tiger-like aesthetics including a tiger head and paws. A lot of its body was white with black stripes while its shoulder as well as knees are yellow with black stripes.

The chest area was colored in blue, as its pilot, a blond-haired man cried out," Bullet, ready to intercept in the KoRyuOh! No time to waste…time to unleash the KoRyuOh's ultimate technique! Tiger King's Rampage! Heart and Mind as one, my aim is clear! Sonic Javelin!"

The tiger shaped Mecha had a golden aura shimmer around it before it unleashed a barrage of blur paced jabs with the javelin in its hand. Adannu kept flinching as its opponent attacked to rapidly for it to strike back.

But after a while the entire hostile being's body glowed golden before energy formed in its free hand. Bullet noticed this before he narrowed his eyes." Don't think so…Tyrant…OVER…BREAK!"

Bullet had his mecha dash back, before charging forward and becoming a spinning twister of energy that slammed into the giant's hand with enough force to cause cracks in its hand. Vadim checked the energy readings before she grasped her hand tightly." Its working. Excellen…keep up the barrage with the Rein Weissritter so it has no time to regain its composure!"

"Roger roger!" A flirty female voice chipped out as a blue armored mobile suit with bat like wings flew up and aimed its large cannon at the furious Fuginaut before its pilot, a woman with orange hair giggled." You can see your doing your job all you want but big sis Excellen is not going to let trying to kill us slide! Ok…time for these wild and crazy ghosts to start there rampage! Guess the odds are against us today eh honey?"

A new machine that looked like the Rein Weissritter, but red floated up to it as its own energy cannon charged up and its pilot, a man with blondish hair yelled out," "I don't mind betting on the tough odds…long as the Alt Eisen Riese is fully …don't let this drone get a read on us, shake up the pattern!"

"Fine, fine Kyousuke! Alright big guy, lets play catch, with our Trump Card: the fire works of love!"

The twin machines then glowed before suddenly flying all around the giant being like flies, blasting and moving around the area at such a rapid place that they gave off after images.

As the target cried out in fury Vadim then proclaimed," Now, blast it in its eyes to disable it! Go Irm, Setsuko, Crowe, barrage it from all directions! Have the Grungust, Virgola Glory S,and the Li-Brasta all fire at once!"

"Man if its to pay off my debt guess I don't have a choice. Formation Three Recivers!" A man in a blue and black mecha named Crowe retorted as it flew above the target. As it did another blue mobile suit with a large cannon charged that large cannon before its pilot, a gorgeous woman with long brown hair declared," I can feel such sorrow from this creature…but we can't let it spread even more sorrow! Glory Star…Full Burst!"

The Virgola Glory S fired off a powerful purple blue energy blast while the Grungust to its left and the Li-Brasta to its right fired projectiles of the same caliber in a triangle formation. The blasts struck Adannu right at its eyes, but even as he was blinded he roared out in pain as veins formed on his forehead." DAMN YOU HEATHENS! No matter what…JUDGMENT WILL BE AT HAND! NO MAN ESCAPES THE HEADHUNTER" S JUDGMENT!"

The giant golden being suddenly unleashed a massive energy beam from his mouth that disrupted the attacks heading his way. Masaki saw the giant blast heading for him and narrowed his eyes." You can push back all you want but I'm just going to push back harder! Time to go full power!"

The Cybuster started to glow before a giant blue colored magical glyph appeared above it. The light got bigger and bigger before Kuro cried out," Prana values have exceeded their limit!"

The white cat in the cockpit ran past the black one before Shiro nodded." We are ready to go Masaki! Hurry!"

"Right!" The green haired man cried out." This ends here dude! Cosmo…NOVA!"

The Cybuster then gathered even more energy before forming a giant blue energy sphere that was as large as his opponent before he flung the projectile at his opponent.

Adannu saw his blast being overwhelmed, and could only scream out," Aaaaaagh!" in fury as he was blasted further and further downward in the Space Between Universe's. Mike saw the amount of energy from the Cosmo Nova before he whistled." My figurative hat's off to whoever designed a mobile suit like that. Must be one hell of a reactor."

"It seems your universe is use to Gundam's, but the Cybuster is far more then that." Vadim calmly declared." The machine is powered by a Fulcanelli-type eternal engine, operating off the prana, or lifeforce, of the pilot through a Prana Converter. Its armor is constructed out of Orichalconium, and it was arranged in such a way that the arrangement of its particles and geometrical structure provide magical protection to the unit.

The Cybuster is one of the four Masou Kishin developed by the Langran Kingdom. Due to its blessing by the Seirei, a Holy-rank spirit of the Wind, Syphis, it was called Masoukishin of the Wind.

However, Cybuster is only the codename of this unit. Like the other Masoukishin units, their true names has never been revealed in order to guard the units against magical attacks. It is one of the seventeen units of the Langran Kingdom's Masouki Project, designed by Wendy Rasm Ignart, to fight the revival of the God of Destruction, Sava Volkruss and its followers. This Masoukishin is one of the fastest units created and the only one to gain the ability to transform.

The Cybuster is mechanically similar to the other Masouki, except for the fact that it's the only known Masouki whose systems are governed by the Laplace's demon computer, a mysterious magical computer sought-after by the various factions for its ability to predict the future.

We figured out that the computer isn't based in the demon of Laplace, but under extreme circumstances, the Laplace demon's computer can interface with the pilot through the Spirit Dependency Link, an event known as "full possession", "fusing" the blessing elemental and the pilot of a Masoukishin, enhancing its power at the fullest, and giving Cybuster the ability to access to the Akashic Records and gain control over the Principle of Cause and Effect."

As some of the others looked on in confusion at the blunt summary of the machine Astra paused before looking at Cybuster." So…these guys are not just mobile suit pilots, but all are piloting machines on par with those sacred machines from the first " Great war of light and darkness" eh? Well…guess you guys might be more useful then getting roadblocks away in space."

Vadim rolled her eyes before she checked the monitors again and grit her teeth." The portal between Universe's is open enough for us to get through! Everyone return back into the ship, we don't have a second to lose!"

The Cybuster and the rest of the SRX team quickly got back to there ship before the red spacecraft burst for the portal. Adannu saw his targets escaping before he grasped with raw fury." No…NO! I will not recognize this! Those who reach the state of supreme ultimacy, are the most sever of threats! No one escapes…NO ONE ESCAPES! If it requires giving up everything…I WILL SEE YOU HEATHENS DEAD!"

The Fuginaut had cracks of energy erupt out of his body, before he suddenly self-destructed. The resulting explosion rocked the entire ship, and as Astra saw the blast heading for her she grit her teeth." God damn sore losers! Punch it al, whoa!"

Vadim responded even faster then Doug's child expected as the sudden burst of speed knocked everyone off their feet while the ship's commander cried out," Hold your breath!"

The Hagane blasted through at full speed, just as the first shock-wave of the Fugianut's self-destruct blast, and the shields shattered upon impact. The portal closed just before the ship could fully be consumed by the explosion, Mike felt for a few moments like his bones were going to jump right out of his body, but just as he wondered if he was about to die, the shaking stopped. The curly haired man saw some alarms go off, but saw things were not exploding before he coughed a bit." Just tell me…did we get blasted right to hell or not?"

Vadim grasped her head before she winced." Not sure…systems are offline…we escaped in one piece but we were one second left from being vaporized."

Sarah grasped her gut before she left out a bitter chuckle." Well…if you can still feel pain it still means your living right? Even if your bird got fried at least it took the blow so what is left of mine is still online. Gideon…you got anything?"

The woman with the title of White Canary pressed the terminal before the transparent image of a bald blue woman appeared. After a few seconds Gideon's eyes glowed before the AI responded with," The sensors on the Flutter are still limited compared to the Wave rider Miss Lance. However…I am picking up enough energy waves, and I can confirm we are back in are "Native" universe."

Astra let out a bitter chuckle as she looked up." Not even sure if that means things are in a worst or better but, at least its back in turf I know."

Roll took a sigh of relief before she glanced at Data. "I know we just got back but do you know where in our universe we are? It, it would be bad if we are right near Viltrumite territory or wherever the IV&C are "Setting up shop".

The robotic monkey paused before its eyes glowed, and its tail sprang up." I…I think I'm picking up enough to know we are near the core Lylat Systems Roll!"

9S paused before the man with the blindfold gasped." Wait I'm starting to pick it up now to!"

2B paused before she grasped her comrade by the shoulder." If that's true, see if we can contact the others!"

"Right I, huh? Wait I'm already picking up the emergency YoRHa code!"

Mike paused before he stood up." So…dad's agents know we are here?"

Pod 042 floated up before nodding." The code indicating that we have returned with Prince Auro was the one set. Thus, central command is responding with maximum efficiency."

Masaki just got back into the command deck upon hearing this before he raised an eyebrow." So, you guys can reach your home team already eh? That mean we might be able to get a ride by the end of the day?"

Vadim shrugged before she pressed a few buttons." Well let's see if we can get the layout of this Prime Universe while we wait."

A monitor screen showing the ship's surroundings showed just empty space. But just as someone was about to say something that space rippled, before an asteroid emerged out of the space. Astra grasped her sword tightly as she cracked on the neck." God damn it…Sieg really waiting for us? Find…if it means we don't waste time running around lets just finish this one way or another!"

2B saw Astra look ready to charge out before the woman with the blindfold held up her hand." Wait don't be alarmed! This time…this is a good surprise. That's not any enemy craft. Well, not our enemy at least. That's the central base for the Yorha Agents…are "Bunker" Colony-class Deep Space Mothership Celestial Being Grand Nuage."

Everyone saw a fifteen-kilometer-long spaceship that's front looked like a umbrella shaped asteroid with a giant golden ring on its front, before looking like a golden ship behind it.

As Celestial Being Grand Nuage flew up a transmission single went up before a calm voice declared," Prince Auro…are you there? This is Megaman X…and I really hope you're on board that ship by your own choice."

Mike's eyes widened with hope before he looked at Vadim, before the woman from another universe nodded and let him up to the bridge. He put in the last code he was given before he was captured and took a deep breath, before the image of a man in predominantly blue and cyan colored armor appeared.

His upper torso was covered by a segmented chest plate with shoulder pads. His joints, such as his knees and wrists, had small black tabs on them. His helmet had cyan ridges atop it and above the visor, and a red lens sits on his forehead, while on top of his head is a ring of data or energy which resembled an angel's halo.

Megaman saw the other man in blue in front of him before he gasped." Commander X!"

Mike just let out an uneasy chuckle before he gave a wave." Hey there X, boy are you a sight for sore eyes. Don't worry, you won't find this ship on the databanks but it's a friendly."

X paused before he took a deep breath." I'm so glad your safe Prince Auro. It's been…a very stressful couple of weeks."

"Man, and you don't even know the full story. And you better hear it soon because no matter what you think you know; things have gotten more messed up then anyone thought possible."

"I can see from the state of this ship. Seems like this ship could use some repairs. Would you mind docking so we can discuss things? I and Die-Hardman need to be caught up on things, for the sake of everyone on the Bethel Kingdom. Its ok...prepare for them to dock. "

Mike gave Vadim a shrug before she glanced at X, checked the data, and then saw her monitor spark before sighing." Well, does look like its are best option."

"Thank you Miss. Don't be alarmed but we will have some mobile suits help you dock, just in case anyone shows up while it happens. These days, we can't leave anything to chance."

Masaki chuckled as he looked around." Better safe then sorry. Sure, lay out the red, carpet?"

From Celestial Being's side a hanger bay opened. As it did, a half of dozen grey and black humanoid machines flew out. Half of them had large cannons while others had blades, and as they flew by Masaki widened his eyes." Gundam's eh? Guess it does have a few things in common with the Alpha 3 universe."

Setsuko gasped as she gasped at the Gundam's flying by." That…reminds me of Setsuna F. Seiei and the Celestial Being unit. Are they…still alive in this universe as well?"

X paused before he closed his eyes." Sounds like we have more to talk about then I figured. Well, the GN-001REIV Gundam Exia 's are based off of Setsuna's 00 Quan, while the GN-002REIII Gundam Dynames version XZ are based off of his former comrade Lockon. However, much time has passed since then.

We have had to resort to drastic measures to elude the enemies of the Bethel Kingdom. This ship is nearly always in stealth mode, we only dared decloaking cause are sources indicate are enemies are distracted. Now… Prairie...prepare to dock the ship.

The Gundam's helped the Hagane land in the larger ship. After a few minutes Mike saw they were clear to depart. The lanky man walked out and saw X waiting for him, along with a dozen of men and woman dressed like 9S and 2B.

As they all bowed X saw Crash, Ratchet and Clank, the last surviving Quantum Mask, Megaman and Roll, Masaki and his two talking cats, and more of the SRX team walk out before he looked calm." I was not quite sure what to expect, but I guess it could have been worst then I expected. Still, I'm glad you were able to hang in their Trigger unit."

The digger saw X look at him with approval before he winced." Oh, I don't know if I really did much but stay alive and help keep things alive."

"Don't ever dismiss the importance of life Volnutt." X retorted as he had a solemn look." Take it from someone who's seen so much death over the centuries, now more then ever when there is so much death in the universe."

"At this time X, and everyone else noticed Astra and Doctor Cortex, before the former Maverick Hunter grasped his right hand tightly." Still…I admit this is not quite the kind of life I thought you were going to save. "

Astra saw she was surrounded by frosty looks before she saw Cortex tug his collar and rolled her eyes." Oh, damn it we have to do this every time eh? We saw how useless it was being like that at the Time Nest eh?"

X saw Astra looked on edge before he sighed." Normally there would not be a bigger Maverick then a member of the Equalizers…but it seems the situation has changed."

Mike saw X was wary, but not looking ready to attack before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Thanks for understanding. Trust me she's…a wild gal alright but there are a lot worst things to worry about then the Equalizers, or even Doug Fitter himself right now. We…we already lost so much in just a few days."

X eyed Crash Bandicoot carefully before he nodded." I can see that. Crash Bandicoot…you were last seen in the Cosmic War. And Doctor Neo Cortex…was reported to have fallen when Chaos Zannacross Necron died, along with every force of evil known to man at the time. And…Aku Aku was your mystical voodoo mask ally right? Just, what's going on?"

Coco looked at the vastly different and much less composed floating mask in front of her and sighed." Oh…it involves Time Travel and the multiverse and all kinds of things we are just learning in the span of a day after losing just about everything we knew. Crunch…Aku Aku…everything we loved all lost because of that horrible" V-Day". I, huh?"

Coco heard a groan from behind, and swerved around for a instant to hope it was someone she knew. But she saw it was Sam. The Porter looked pale as he grasped his chest." What…what the hell is going on? Did that time portal work or what? Are we in the past?"

Astra saw Sam take haggard breaths before she snorted." The hell you napping at a time like this Porter?"

Sam gave the blond woman an agitated look before spitting out," Just when that freak was about to slam the sun on the god damn planet the ship lurched and I hit my head and was knocked out ok? Not all of us are fighters you know. But its clear I missed a lot. This, this almost looks like the same time."

"Oh, that's cause we are back in the same time dude."

"So, it did not work?"

"Nah it worked…just that bastard followed us to the Axis of time, killed everyone there and blasted us out of the damn universe till these other dudes found us in the space between universe's and helped us get back here before these other subjects of " The Last Emperor" picked us up."

Astra saw Sam's jaw drop before she shrugged." You snooze you lose dude."

X saw how horrified most of the others around him looked as Astra casually explained what just happened before he struggled to repress his own dismay as well." So…its true then…the Time Patrol agents, the Supreme Kai of Time…they all been wiped out?"

"Its true X." Sarah spat out bitterly." Rip and the Wave rider, the Supreme Kai of Time, even Philemon and the agents of the Velvelt Room. Just about everyone in the Time Nest aside from me got killed by those Sixth Dimensional bastards."

X saw the White Canary's look of despair before he grasped his hand tightly." We…we did lose contact with are contacts but was not sure what was going on. Its just…even Zannacross and the Beyonder could not deal with them so easily."

Mike winced before images of all Sieg did flashed back across his eyes." That's because Sieg and his Infinite Victory and Conquest Incorperated are from another universe entirely X, and don't play by the rules we come to think are the be all end all. Fact is they seem to come from some" Negaverse" Or "Dark Multiverse" were evil is the bee's knees and all that.

But hey…if you guys are still alive then I guess he's not powerful enough to just instantly make everything his way right? Guess since everything's not instantly blown up by the time we got back its not as bad as it could be right?"

X looked troubled before a new male voice cut in with," Don't get any illusions "Mike." We may still be alive now but its clear we are not very far from all being dead men walking."

Everyone saw a new arrival walk up in the distance. He was an black skinned man in his mid 50s or early 60s.

He was a bit overweight, and had a black skull mask on his face that had BR-10-14P-9999 LUDENS written on its side.

He wore a formal coat with a formal silver vest and a white shirt. His pants were black like his military boots. Also, he uses a black ascot tie and two chains around his neck, one red and the other blue.

Mike saw everyone aside from X salute the skull faced man before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Er…sorry but if we met at the last masquerade party before I went out on my own, I was kind of seriously drunk for most of it."

The Skull Faced man sighed before responding with," I'm not one of your " Drinking buddies" Prince, I'm Die-Hardman, Director of the Bethel Kingdom's Bridge Foundation."

Mike paused before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Sorry Die-Hardman, seriously no disrespect but that was not part of the stuff I was responsible for."

"Well it is now son. Bridges is the logistic company that was formed to reconnect the fractured universe."

Astra spat on the ground before she leaned forward." Seriously? Bridges is just a bunch of PR losers! Why the hell they send you to greet us with all that's going on?"

Die-Hardman glared at the child of Doug Fitter before cracking his neck." Because I'm the highest-ranking individual left fit for the situation as it stands girl. Bridges is more than" PR", Bridget Strand and his majesty created it to reunite the universe, and we are still trying to do that, though we are at the" make it or break it" point."

Mike saw how hardened Die-Hardman looked before he winced." Its…its really that bad? Have they invaded the Bethel Kingdom?"

"Not yet. But now that its clear your parents are either dead or otherwise indisposed everyone's seeing just how hard the grand barriers can be pushed before they make an all-out assault to try and destroy all that's left.

That's why there is no time for games. Seems you been through a lot but we need to do another debrief so I can figure out what to tell the public, and make sure Rebecca knows just what to tell the pubic so that moral does not get even worst."

Mike blinked before he leaned forward." Wait…come again? Bria is giving the public speech's?"

Astra raised an eyebrow before she added," Wait…you mean Bria Auro…wife of Richard Auro? That chick partied even more then this sorry excuse for a royal here and you put her in charge?"

X sighed before he looked up." She was a good match for her husband, but it was clear she never really thought she would be the ruler of a galactic government. It was not ideal, but with Ben and Lacus gone and Prince Michael assumed dead, she was the most senior member of the family around. She…she's not taking the pressure well but, we are all doing what we can to keep moral from falling apart entirely."

Mike paused before he grasped his fist." Can..can I talk to Bria? Is she here?"

"Sorry but to be blunt it might not be a good idea to talk to your sister-in-law just yet." Die-Hardman retorted." Like I said…are situation is very, very fragile right now so we have to plan are information carefully. So please, all of you come to my office. Even you Sam."

The porter paused before he looked at Die-Hardman and raised an eyebrow." McClane, that's you? John what are you doing wearing that mask?"

"What I have to for the sake of moral Sam. What's it been, Sam, ten years? Look at us—a bunch of deathless freaks, meeting like this…but we have no time for personal feelings. For the sake of the universe, its do or die. One more thing…there have been a lot of rumors but are your parents alive or not Mike?"

Mike sighed before he took out the hilts of the Divine Mugen Nova and the Oath-Keeper and showed them to everyone." There…there is a small chance that my dad might be out there in the Multiverse, but, there is a good chance my mom was assimilated by a sadistic counterpart from another universe."

Even X and Die-hardman looked unnerved at the sight of the broken swords of the people they saw as the most powerful beings in the universe before Die-Hardman looked around and grit his teeth." Yah…we have no time to waste. Follow me to my office."

Mike saw his rapidly expanding group looked either on edge of curious, before Masaki and some of the others from the SRX team followed the commander of Bridges and X, before after a few minutes everyone arrived at the skull faced man's office, an oval office with monitors showing images all over the universe.

Once there once again Mike explained all that happened after he was freed of Carbonite, with his newly added allies filling things in about the Multiverse and the Multiverse Rebel Alliance.

After explaining as much about the state of things as possible Die-Hardman and X were silent for a few moments before X glanced at the broken sword of his long-time comrade and winced." We knew it was bad…but to think that a counterpart of Ben from a" Negaverse" that produced the most horrifying varation possible could go on to absorb countless universe's…and go on to evolve into some monstrosity with more power than Chaos Zannacross Necron and well, the Beyonder. It…it really is the ultimate maverick."

Die-Hardman took a deep breath before adding," And the fact that this" Sieg" could erase this entire universe on a whim if he wanted to, but is keeping this universe purely because it's the core of some plot to effect every universe at once in this Multiverse…is not something that will put few, if any that's on his side at ease. Masaki right? This" Rebel" Alliance of yours…it has defeated enemies who's ambitions are on par with the IV&C's goals?"

Masaki saw everyone looking at him before the green haired man shrugged." I mean… like I told Mike when we met, we have beaten guys like Muge Zorbados who thought they were untouchable because they controlled thousands of universes, till we shut them down hard.

Heh, that one may have fell mostly because of Shinobu Fujiwara, Sara Yuki, Sima Liang, and Masato Shikibe piloting Dancouga, but we made sure they could land the blow and all.

Make no mistake though, this Sieg guy sounds as high up there as a threat as it gets if he could casually smack one of the Fuginauts so hard it drove it crazy. We just have to get a feel about how big this guy's "command chain" is and start from there, and that's just what we have been trying to do."

Die-Hardman saw the others from another universe looked as confidant as the pilot from La Gias before he narrowed his eyes." I'm going to assume you did not come all this way just to lie. But still…you must understand the decision I take could decide the fate of my entire government and everyone in it. That's why to back this I must have proof that there are allies across this Multiverse I just confirmed existed today."

Vadim paused before she glanced at a data pad showing her the state of damage to her ship and sighed." I can understand being cautious. The fact remains that there is no real way to prove to you we are from another universe without taking you to across the Multiverse, and it seems that the shockwave that hit us just as we arrived in this Prime Universe damaged the Crossgate drive and the other machinery that gives us the power to transverse the multiverse."

Mike saw the rest of her group look alarmed before he shrugged." Guess that blast did rock us hard. Well you got us here so I think even these guys can give you the slack to have some time to replace the parts and all. I mean after all you repaired it in the space between universes so you can fix it anywhere right?"

Vadim just looked more troubled before she looked Mike in the eye." True, the problem is that those supplies we used before…also got destroyed, along with that whole section of the ship. We…still know how those things work but we just can't reproduce such things without the required materials."

Mike paused before he let out an uneasy chuckle." Well…can't be that hard. We are one of the major governments in the entire universe Vadim, might have to sneak past the Vltirumite's or Vought's pals but sure we can find everything we need."

Diehard-man cleared his throat before he walked up." Mike…you really don't understand the situation. Your parents tried to shield you from just how dire the state of things were, but you have to wake up on how close the Bethel Kingdom is to ruin if your parents really are gone.

Ben and Lacus were able to keep the other clans mostly contained to there sections of the universe, but with them gone, and with Omni-man 's loyalty being a farce, and Utopian and Lady Liberity killed by his brother and son, who became allied with the Vought Clan, now that even the Time Patrol agents have been destroyed we are at a disadvantage even before having to factor in this invasion force from another universe.

To make it clear, we have no choice but to hope we have allies in this Multiverse because we no longer have the power to win with the forces we have in this universe, and even surival is just one wrong move could be the end of everything we hold dear with the values we hold dear crushed for a long, long time."

Mike saw X looked just as grave before he sighed." You don't have to tell me how bad things are dude, I saw a guy who looked like my dad blow up the core of this universe's timestream before taking it over while a woman who looked like my mom devoured people's souls! So what, you want me to go back to reassure everyone back home that things are ok? Fine I been playing those "games" for a while now."

"You still don't get it." The masked man responded fiercely." You making a public appearance would just make things worst."

Die-Hardman saw Mike's shock before he sighed." Sorry, but no time to beat around the bush. You're not anywhere close to as powerful as your father was Mike, and just about everyone in the Bethel Kingdom, and beyond knew it.

While your father did not seem impressive at first compared to his fellow Enji Knights, there was faith in him because he was chosen by Cosmos herself to be the champion of light and the savior of the universe.

But…Cosmos is dead…Heaven is shattered…and the legacy of the "light", if not the idea of hero's itself is in ruins to most in this universe.

If you make a public appearance, it will cause Homelander, Brainwave, Omni-Man, and even the others like Superian and the Sentry to make a play to try and get the "perk" of killing the last Auro.

This very moment we have a Viltrumite task force under the command of "Conquest" attacking the barrier, relishing in terrifying people, knowing that even if he can't break through that he can make people panic more and more with hopes of just a few more dying cause of fear with each assault."

Mike paused before he grasped his fist tightly." So what…your saying I'm useless…that I was better off dead?"

"Please don't get emotional as that's not what I'm saying. But you have to realize how things really are, and how we can react. Make no mistake, you have a job to do, its just not what you expect. Truthfully, it will be better if the majority of the Bethel Kingdom thinks your dead, aside from the faint rumor your alive to keep are enemies guessing.

And while they are guessing, you gather the parts needed to let this SRX team go across the Multiverse…and maybe even find your father. Its not the most solid plan…but frankly, its all we got.

Normally I would not even approve of an operation with such low odds of success, but the simple truth is that we have no hope of overcome the enemies out to get us without reinforcements, and if there are none left in this universe, we must do what it takes to find friendlies across the Multiverse."

Mike blinked a few times before he looked down." So, you're saying that I'm to useless to really do anything, but should risk my life to sneak around to find what we need?"

"Yes. You are the son of Ben Auro and Lacus Raystar, you have the potential to become as great as them. Even if the odds are slim, its all we have. With Heaven and the Time Nest destroyed, there is one place I can think of that might have both the materials needed to help us, and help you get where you need to be so that you can stand a chance to defend yourself Mike.

James Elrond, former Enji Master and one of Ben's dear friends did much research for his entire life, and he sealed away all of his experiments on Kattelox Island, on the planet of Endless Illusion."

Astra raised an eyebrow before she snorted." Who the hell names a planet Endless Illusion?"

"Someone who creates an entire planet with the aims of trying to fix all the problems of the universe." The man in the mask bluntly replied before he pressed a button, and the image of a planet appeared. Die-Hardman paused before pointing to a random island on the planet." Endless Illusion…was a planet made to investigate how to solve all the problems plaguing the universe like the Black Scrawl, the Death stranding" and more.

After James died, he entrusted his work to others. However, as the Bethel Kingdom lost more and more ground, resources to support the planet dwindled.

It's now mostly an isolated planet, who's research has long been stopped, leading to people just living isolated lives trying to cling on to life. We still have agents there, lead by two twins, mages Popola and Devola who were disciples of James.

They, might be able to help us kick things off if the reports that Master Elrond worked on a interdimensional extrapolator were true. In any case, its as good a place to start as any to look for " The Mother Lode." That can give us a chance at salvation."

Mike saw the senior member of the Bethel Kingdom military seemed finished before he cleared his throat." That…that's seriously it? Are last shot to save are home, if not the entire universe, if not every universe is to just go to were one of my dad's pals worked on stuff and hope it will give us the key to something?

I remember all the good things the old man said about James but if he had anything worked out that could fix things then we would have knew about it already."

"Maybe…but maybe now that we have allies with the incite on multiverse travel there is a chance they can help finish what he started. Look Mike…you said it yourself that there is a chance your father was not killed by his counterpart yes?"

Mike paused before he looked down." Sieg admitted he did not see dad die, and no one clamed his soul in any of the after lives either. Still…we have no idea were to look."

"We…we might." X answered." The space time anomaly were your parents and Sieg fought…there might be clues there. But we won't be able to know unless we can travel across the Multiverse.

And to do that we will need this SRX team's ship fully repaired. If, if we can get to where your parents fought, there might be a chance we can get clues if Ben left that area alive. We never found any wreckage of your parents ship the Tri-Edge either…and it seems Sieg did not drag it back as a trophy even though from what you told us he revels in such things.

If…if he's traveling the Multiverse in that ship, and we can go to where it was last seen to find a trail to where the Tri-Edge may have flown to...then maybe…maybe we can have a chance."

Mike paused before he let out a bitter chuckle." So, there is a chance…even if the odds are like…one trillion to one. Always good to just wing Mission Impossible eh?"

" Your parents believed in the universe's Reconstructionism. They worked tirelessly to bring the universe together again. And without them, there would be no Bridges.. Even with the universe shattered, and its people scattered to the four winds, they never stopped believing they could be reunited. People held onto their hope that society would rise again, because they believed in them and the will they inherited. We believe that an untied society can be rebuilt."

Mike sighed before he looked around. "Sure…and pull it all on the shoulders you think is deadweight just because you have no other options."

"Sarcasm is not really needed right now Prince. The universe needs hope, not sarcasm to surive."

" Well don't mean to pull rank but I'm not giving that up." Mike answered with a sudden sharpness as he grasped his fist tightly." Don't mean to belittle how things are, but for me, I tried to prove I was able to do something, and when I woke up I found out my brother and my parents and most of there most loyal folk are dead, and that everything is about to collapse as some assholes from the" Dark" part of the Multiverse want to ruin everything. Sarcasm ...its all I got left so I'm going to cling on to any thing I got left after losing everything else and try to find a way out alone of a problem no one even really thinks I can solve!"

Everyone saw how exasperated and overwhelmed Mike looked before even Astra looked uneasy. After a few moments 2B went up. "You won't be alone Prince Auro. I and the rest of the Yorha units will assist you to the end."

Coco sighed before she grasped her fist tightly." We…we will help to. Are home was destroyed…and this is the only way we can get back on the people that took everything from us. Besides…we are good at finding things."

As Crash nodded, Ratchet sighed before he grasped his Omni-Wrench tightly." I…I want to help you guys to.

Finding cool junk is kind of are deal eh? Besides…only way I can stop people from heading down the path Alister took. And…finding more Lombax's in other universe's could be kind of cool. Just…got to keep them alive."

As Clank nodded Megaman paused before he looked at Mike." Roll and I will keep supporting you to the end Prince Auro. Treasure finding is what we are good at and, not like there is any safe place left in this universe."

Sam sighed before he looked around." No offense kid but this is out of my depth." I mean…I'm just a simple porter with bad timing, not much I can do by be cannon folder."

"Don't try and act like you have nothing to add Sam." Die-Hardman countered." You can give the prince some cover by taking up jobs to mislead possible threats. And you know there is more to you then you want to admit."

"Bah… I'm Sam Porter "Bridges" now. I'm not a Strand. Hell, I'm not even part of this outfit. You all saw to that. I'm not getting involved with you or anyone else ever again. Delivering a few packages is sure not going to save the universe."

"No…but it might be able to reconnect it. Are enemies cut off so many people in the universe. You, the Prince and the rest of the team can go from planet to planet to relink the" Chiral Network."

The man in the skull mask saw some looked confused before he cleared his throat." The Chiral Network is Bridges unique communication network providing coverage of established strands across the universe.

"Strands" are cords to the beaches allowing communication between the mortal world and the world of the dead. They form the basis, allowing the Chiral Network to send these messages through the breaches across the realms.

Tsc…a funny word, "strand"… A "strand" is part of rope or bond. While "stranding" means being washed up on the shore. And being "stranded" is when you can't go home. But Mike…doing all of this is best way…if not the only way there will even be a home for are people and find a way to at last make the universe stable and united again."

Astra saw how stressed out Mike looked before she snorted and laughed with raw contempt. As everyone looked at her she spat on the ground."

"Yeah, covering the universe in cable didn't bring an end to war and suffering last time eh? Fact it's what pissed off people enough to break it all! Don't act surprised when it all comes apart if you try to do it again. Round and round it goes. Connect, reconnect… it's not that simple…and the fact that you guys are still doing the same dance and song about" Unity" is just so damn sad. Guess Auro got you good eh? Then again only diehards would still bother trying to chase fairy tails that long got proven to be a sack of crap."

X narrowed his eyes before walking up." And what's your plan Astra Fitter? To just run away and laugh as everything burns like your father?"

"I don't do running blue boy! I'm not my old man, I'm not anyone but me!"

"Then what are you going to do now Astra?" Mike uttered with exasperation." Go back with the Equalizers?"

"Nah…might as well make sure you can pull this off."

As everyone looked on in confusion the blond woman shrugged." I mean hell…if any of the others blow up the whole Bethel Kingdom can't make you have that speech eh? Its not going to be enough if its just some jackass blowing all up or that someone made you do it at gun point, I want you to make that speech because you know your wrong. After all…you realize this is about as long shot as it gets right?"

Mike paused before looking somber." Think I don't see how it looks? I don't know if any of this has a chance in hell but, at the very least I have enough pride to at least try and so something so my final moments won't be as a total loser. If it can at least give people some hope…at least I would have done something right. Though, with what little there might be left after we pull things off not sure if I would call this a win and just...surive."

Astra saw Mike looked resolute before she snickered."

"Hey if your pepole moan after that then tell them to try and do better. Surviving is winning Mikey! Everything else is a con hustlers spin to milk more out of yah! fairytales spun by people afraid too look life in the eye. When all your precious ideals end up being worth less then junk, then whatever it takes to survive is good enough!

Heh, well...if even after all of this your still willing to try like a man then I guess your not a total wuss. Still…what's the deal with this "Endless Frontier"? Are we going to have to fight Homelander or the mustache men army to get what we are looking for?"

"Hopefully not." Die-Hardman retorted." Though with the IV&C as a new factor, nothing can be assumed to be safe. Besides, even without them you would have to be on guard. The planet is one known to be "raided" by the" Shadowlord" Muzan Kibutsuji, and the other members of his demon cartel such as " Mother Miranda" . Sukuna, Kirinmaru, Gremory, and the other members of his "Twelve Kizuki" cartel."

Cortex blinked a bit before he rubbed his head." Hey I thought demons all went poof when Zannacross died?"

That's true." X uttered somberly." But the carnage caught by the shattering of heaven and the effects of the black scrawl illness and so much other corruption gave birth to a new generation of demons.

Though these demons are not Doug Fitter's subjects, they are just chaotic beings of rage that mostly just act as powerful mutant criminals who are more then eager to act as "Shadow brokers" between the warring tribes then declare open war and get wiped out by the Viltrumite 's, the Vought clan or others. They might not be as big a threat as Homelander but…they still can kill quite a lot of people."

Astra just cracked her neck before looking excited." Hell if they are going to show up then I might be even more interested in this job cause it will be fun kicking there teeth in!"

Die-Hardman paused before he cleared his throat." There are also reports of the Homo Demens making raids in that sector, ones you were seen working with from time to time Astra Fitter. We can't risk you selling us out to your group."

"Piff…if you're afraid of that then you suck at gathering intel dude." Astra retorted. " The Equalizers are decentralized by nature. No one organization to rule them all—just a common ideology and the fact that the" Old man" would kick the ass of anyone who he did not like.

But anyone that's fighting for Higgs is no pal of mine. The whole point of my creed is not being bound to anything, especially not having to hold back on kicking the ass of people that piss me off because of some rule! I'm not enough of a purest to let Sieg make everyone be his "property" just because I have to do some pain in the ass work."

Die-Hardman saw Mike looked relived before he sighed." I'll have to take your word on that with how things stand. Alright then, your mission if you choose to accept it, is to retrieve what might help get us into the Multiverse on the planet of Endless Illusion.

The SRX team can serve as the transport and space defense since no one in this universe knows who's allegiance they have. Sam Porter can be the front using cover for mundane deliveries. And the rest, will be your defenders to make sure you survive."

X sighed before he looked at the lanky man in front of him." Prince Auro…I wish I could go with you, after failing your brother and parents I want to do all I can to make sure you succeed. But…so many other people need my help. Agents 2B...9S...agent A2 was doing jobs in that world but we have not heard from her in a while. The last time she reported in she was taking the name of Kainé."

"Understood." 2B responded." We will find her...and do all we can to help prince Auro for the glory of mankind."

"Thanks for understanding. We…we have to make sure there is something to save by the time you finish this. But…Zero and are other best surviving agents are looking across the universe for leads so you don't have to wonder aimlessly."

"I get it X." Mike answered dryly." Between making sure my sister in law does not just fall apart and between Sieg coming back to finish the job…a lot of ways we can run out of time fast eh? Well…the worst the odds…the greater the rush."

"Then let's hope for everyone's sake it will help things work out Mike. I don't want you to be overwhelmed with stress but it can't be understated that this mission is the last hope people have to not be just the prey to those who think might makes right, for life to be anything but being at the mercy of whoever is the most savage force out there, the last hope that there is any justice in the universe. So may what's left of the force of light be with you."

Mike saw a hint of anxiety in Die-Hardman's eyes before he sighed, and saluted formerly." Thanks…I…I know I'm not anywhere close to what my parents or Richard or Max were…but I'll do all I can to keep the dream alive sir."

Masaki laughed before patting Mike on the back." Don't worry man I swear we will do all we can to make sure you can pull this off. The SRX team all like repaying there debts and kicking tyrants ass!"

Die-Hardman nodded before he turned around. "Very well then. Time may be of the essence but starting things off without time to recover won't help anyone. Eat and sleep, and then we will begin the last gamble to decide the fate of the universe, if not the Multiverse."

Mike nodded before he looked at his makeshift team and shrugged." Well guys…looks like this Endless Illusion won't be a picnic but at least its not like planet Viltrum right? So…lets toast to starting off...whatever the hell this is. Well may not be palance food but lets try and have a good meal before things go well...even more to hell eh?"

As a few of the group laughed Mike saw the broken hilt of the Divine Mugen Nova and grasped it tightly. Dad…I know I never really made you proud but, even if I can't do what you or Richard could, I'll still try and make things right to the end. Hopefully…hopefully it will be worth something. If…if you're really out there some were going across the Multiverse trying to get enough help to stop Sieg well…at least I can make it easier to get back here. After all I messed up with over the years…at the very least I can do that.

Mike then went off with the others to try and prepare before trying to attempt the riskiest treasure hunt in the history of the universe, hoping it was not more then a fools errand.

As they did the planet they were set to travel to, one of many, were feeling absolute terror.

---

A young man was running across a snowy forest. On his shoulders was a young woman, one who's head was bleeding.

The man heard the woman groan before he winced." Hang on…your big brother is going to save you no matter what! You…you got to fight the Black Scrawl!"

The man's sister yelled out in pain before forcing the man off the road. As they fell the man saw his sister slowly get up and gulped." Nezuko…are you alright? You don't have to walk…I'll carry you back to the square! Popola…she should know how to make you feel better, no matter where that Shade bit you! So please…please hang in there and, huh?"

The woman named Nezuko just had her eyes twitch before she glared at her brother, and grit her teeth. Her teeth suddenly took the shape of fangs before she growled, and lunged at her brother. On instinct the older man took out a pipe he was using to keep his sister from biting into his neck.

His sister tackled him to the ground, and as he glanced at the member of his family he winced at seeing Nezuko look ferial before muttering," No…I…I can't lose you to! We…we need help! Please, somebody, we need help! Someone, please help! HELP!"

Authors Notes: Alright, got another lot of folks introduced today but lets get started. Safe to say all the other pilots today are also from the various Super Robot Wars games.

Ragnayael was also one of the main enemies in Super Robot Wars T.

The Headhunter Fuginaut is mostly from DC's are around the Dark Multiverse, though I took some nods from the final boss of the last Super Robot Wars game where it was original characters only, XN-L from Moon Dwellers.

Adam Smasher is from Cyberpunk along with his " Boss" Saburo Arasaka.

While the city on the" Vought" Clan human shaped planet is primarly based off of Cyberpunk's Night City, the offical name is Mekacity from Cyber Shadow to, give it some more thought to its name lol.

Apparitor is also a enemy from the Cyber-Shadow Indie game...Ninja Gaiden/ Strider like game by the ones who made Shovel Knight.

Valkog Drazer was the main enemy from the JRPG Rouge Galaxy along with " Seed", Niander Wallace was from Bladerunner 2042, Kawahara was the main enemy in Altered Carbon season 2.

The Bunker from Nier Automata in this is merged with the Celestial Being mothership from 00 Gundam, and a few aspects of the Grand Nuage ship from Megaman ZX and Die-Hardman is from Death Stranding.

Kattelox Island is from Megaman Legends, while Endless Illusion is the planet that the anime Gun X Sword takes place on, I'm merging a few things together. Also, it will be more clear next chapter but while Nezuko and her brother Tanjiro Kamado are from the Demon Slayer series, for Omega, they also will be crossed with the main lead of Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139 and his sister Yona.

Heh, since Tanjiro and the main lead of Neir Replicant share the same voice actor it did not seem like THAT big a stretch, and Neir Replicant already had variations of the main lead between the PS3 and 4 versions it seemed, possible.

Also Muzan Kibutsuji from Demon Slayer and the Shadow lord from Neir Replicant will be combined, with his demons being combined with the Shades from Neir Replicant. I'm fully aware of the plot points of both series so I hope the fusion will make sense.

I know having Neir Replicant and Automata happening at the same time normally would be impossible but, I'm going to try and make it work, ditto for having such contrasting stories such as Megaman Legends and Neir Replicant's plot points merge.

Well, hope the way things progressed intrigued people enough to see how things go from here. Till next time hope you liked what you saw enough to see a review and till next time.
