Chapter 308: A Final Battle Closes In on the Devil Bloodline! The Mystery of the Cell Olympics!

As vital as Mike finding his father's ship was, that was hardly the only dramatic conclusion that was going on in the war across the Multiverse, and to give more details we turn back time a bit, to right when Mike left to Earth X to the other group that had their own mission, Astra, along with James, Sonic, Zero, Tanjiro, Kaine, Raymond, and many of Astra's friends who had survived to make it to this point got ready to do their own part.

Astra saw Mike's group head into the TARDIS with Doctor Who, then looked at Raymond before she shrugged." So, your bro learned how to travel from one universe to another yet?"

The Equalizer from the Lawrence Logistics company let out a uneasy chuckle before he looked around." Hey my bro's the best there is Astra, but this is not something you learn in a hour long presentation without practice and we really don't have any room for" Test runs". "

While the blond woman had her eye twitch James re-positioned his glasses before throwing out a dry," Thankfully the alliance seems to have plenty of people around who still have said experience."

Astra paused as she saw Xeno Vegeta walk up before she cleared her throat." I guess. So they doing that combo warp thing to get us to the place were the most asses have to be kicked?"

The Vegeta from another universe snickered before cracking his neck." I like your fighting spirit woman, but we are going about this another way. Are target not only is well aware of what Kakarot can do, he's actively looking for him so, as much as I loath it we have to do this another way. As much as I want to fight I want to have the advantage. That's why we will be arriving vie another way, as long as she can deliver on her end."

Before Astra could reply a sassy but steely female voice replied with," Hey, the AAA Wunder sure as hell will get the job done so you're the one that better not choke Saiyan!"

Astra turned around to see the reply came from a young woman with long black hair that was wavy with bangs parted to the sides and dark brown eyes in a red Rebel Alliance commander's uniform. The others saw her at the meeting before but the woman let out a small smirk." Misato Katsuragi….leader of the WILLE or " the' will " that opposed the members of the NERVE order on my world, before realizing there was a whole multiverse of assholes like them and joined this party.

I'm the one that's going to get you to the target, long as you don't drop the ball."

Xeno-Vegeta rolled his eyes before spitting out," Your lucky you remind me of my late wife. So then everything is ready Katsuragi?"

Misato smirked before motioning behind her, showing a winged ship that had a plaque on the front saying," Buβe

Keel Laid 21. June 11805

Special Authority NERV

Lead Ship of the Guardians Of Guf-Class "before she smirked." It's a Guardians Of Guf Class Battleship, its only dropping what I say we are dropping."

Astra smirked before giving a thumbs up." I think you and I are going to get along fine Misato. So…how many assholes are we going to find greeting us in when we land?"

"If we do this right, not too many, at first. Look I want to see these IV pricks get what they deserve to, but we have to do this right."

"Fair enough, but I thought this "Gan Knot World" is one the bad guy's control top to bottom?"

"It is…but that's made them cocky. They don't know who's not an alliance spy, so if we send someone they don't know in to play tribute then we got a hook."

Astra flashed a half-lopped smile before shrugging." Hell we just did this so might as well do it while I have the moves down pat."

"Maybe you did, but keep in mind this is not just one universe but, a tribute across the whole damn Multiverse so, I think you need to get an idea on what's going on before we get this party started. Hey, you still have the data right Lordgenome?"

A bald bulky bearded man walked up before he nodded and pressed a button on his wrist. A hologram of a planet appeared above everyone. It was a planet that was a shining metal, technological world; a planet of towering future cities without end and vast metallic plains, spiraling metal mountains and bottomless neon-lit chasms.

As everyone saw the Tuning Fork in the center of this planet Lord Genome narrowed his eyes." Gan Knot World" A" is composed of many worlds, but the biggest chunk belongs to the planet known as Cybertron.

To be honest, the planet Cybertron's origins differ from universe to universe but this one's legacy is that Cybertron was the adopted form of the lord of the Light Gods Primus, who trapped himself and Unicron in barren asteroids which they then shaped into their physical forms.

While Unicron turned his prison into a transformable, humanoid body, Primus reformed himself into a vast Saturn-sized machine-world, home for a robotic race he created to fight Unicron with similar transformation abilities."

Rattrap was one of the members of this group before he snickered." Oh wow that almost sounds like us!"

James readjusted his glasses before throwing in," This could have been your origins in your universe as well Rattrap, with a few differences. Doctor Light did find the data to the Autobots on an asteroid Megaman found when fighting those Stardroids Doctor Wily used, so I suppose fate just differed in the Prime universe. Still, it sounds like the version of your race on this universe is having the worst luck."

Lord Genome nodded before adding," This version of Cybertron and all of its citizens are completely subjugated by the forces of the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation. To prove their power, this Knot World is positioned over the Sagittarius Zero Star to prove their dominance."

A new hologram appeared showing a giant black hole, causing Astra to wince." Wait their planet is in a black hole?"

"Mostly. Its name is based on Sagittarius A which is the supermassive black hole which is similarly found at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy in Sagittarius A of the Sagittarius constellation on the Earth Prime of your universe.

The Zero Star is not simply a physical object drifting in space but is magically protected and cannot be wholly seen or freely approached from the outside. Hence, a ideal fortress. This Cybertron also has elements of other worlds, some are of advanced worlds such as Metro City, city of Zalem, and more, but they are all controlled by the various factions of the IV such as Shadow Galactica, the Asakura Family, Demon Card,the Noah Family, the Espada, Kara, and others, but are commanded by the Universal Emperor Frieza."

Astra saw a new hologram that showed someone that looked like Frost, but with a pale face and purple armor before she rolled her eyes." Hey I heard of this guy! He's the asshole who caused Super Sayian's to be a thing in are universe to right?"

Vegeta snickered before he closed his eyes." Freiza's racism seems to be a factor across the Multiverse, but this one seems to be the luckiest of them all because he killed the counterparts of me, Kakarot, and everyone else in his universe and became a true God of Destruction. Right now he seems to be acting like he is god alright."

Lord Genome nodded before he pressed another button before a large cathedral adorned with a huge crystal at its peak." Indeed, as we said Frieza is residing in a Galactica Palace over Cybetron as he wages his" Cell Olympics." His top right hand man, the battle android " Hyper Perfect Cell" is hosting a series of games to see who is the best in every event that the planet can host, to decide who gets spared and who gets " erased" the games are about to be conducted, and that's are way of getting in. We will scout the state of things, see which part of the Cell Olympic games we can fit in, and sneak in to find a way to sabotage the tower."

Xeno Goku walked up looking frustrated." Man…as much as I want to check out all these strong opponents, I have to stay hidden for a while to keep Frieza, Cell, and the others from realizing what's going on. So you guys have to do your part to!"

Vegeta snickered before looking up." It's a good thing your better with self-control then the others Kakarot…otherwise this all would have been a disaster waiting to happen. Even if he's not the same Frieza, we know him enough to know how to bait him."

Frost and Hearts then walked up before the counterpart to Frieza with more heroic aspirations nodded." I will be able to help swindle my counterpart as well. If all goes according to plan…it will give us a fighting chance."

James nodded as he eyed all the holograms carefully." Do we have any allies in this territory?"

Hearts winced as he looked at his hand." Some of my fellow Core Warriors, the Tuffle twins Oren and Kamin were able to get into the planet and reported in for a while, but even after taking over bodies of higher-ranking employees, they were found out.

The new "Scouters" they have are nothing to dismiss lightly. That's why we have to move in real time to trip them up."

Astra spat on the ground before she snickered." These jackasses can rig things as tight as they want, it's never tight enough. Some ways its better if its just us, less people we have to worry about when things kick off. Alright then, if that's all that matters then let's get to this party to know how to screw it up!"

Misato smirked before she nodded." Sounds good to me! We are going to get in by having are ships put up a barrier to make us look like a Asteroid, then send a smaller ship to land. While it has its risks it's a way to let them to get there guard down."

Astra widened her eyes before she looked around." Wait…if we act like we are delivering a package…that seems like a good way to kick things off, right Sam?"

Everyone turned to the hapless Porter, who was eating a sandwich in the corner before he saw everyone look at him and nearly choked on his food. As he drank some water he looked around tensely." God damn it, you have everyone in the Multiverse and I'm still someone you want to throw in? I have no powers…and this time if I die in a new universe I'm dead for good damn it!"

"And because you're so forgettable no one will remember you man so it's perfect!" Astra threw in as she gave a thumbs up. As Sam gave her the finger, Fragile patted him on the back." It's better than just waiting to die right Sam? I'll be there to warp us out so we will have some options."

Roll walked up before she cleared her throat." We can use the Flutter to transport you all to this Cybertron at least. I…I can't fight but at least I can do something other then hide. Besides…at least I can keep exploring…even if doing it right depends on if I live and die. But…you guys saved me from Muzan's torture…this is the least I can do."

Astra saw Doom Man was looking tense before she shrugged." We all got to figure out what we can do and then do what we can. After all…the blunt truth is that we might be the only ones left in the whole damn Multiverse that can do something about it. Whatever God really is he's sure as hell not bailing us out, so we got to step it up! At this point there's us, the assholes, and those in between, and it's sure as hell time for some Equalizing! So hope no one left their lunch because it's time to go!"

Lord Genome nodded before he grasped his fist. " Good, then get on board. From there… Cathedral Terra…no… Hyper Galaxy Dai-Gurren will open the pathway to are target dimension."

Astra saw the large grey ship in the distance before she shrugged." And how long will this take?"

"A minute, spiral power works fast."

"Damn, works for me lets go!"

The group got on both the Hyper Galaxy Dai-Gurren and the Wunder both left the House Of Hope, before departing. Astra saw that Lord Genome was not kidding, as by the time she got on the Flutter, they already arrived in another universe. Astra felt the ship in the bigger ship shake before she grit her teeth." So did it work or not?"

Frost was with her, before the tailed man smirked." Don't lose your chill now girl, we prepared this many times. We are approaching Cybertron already."

Astra saw a screen open to indeed show Cybertron hovering over the giant black hole that was the Sagittarius Zero Star.

She saw countless smaller ships flying for the metallic Gan Knot World before she saw the pillar of energy going into the whole in space and looked at there destination carefully." That's seriously where the target is? Looks like the planet's just wide open."

Frost snickered before closing his eyes." Come girl, just sense the power levels on the planet. There is no need for a fleet of ships when you have a few people that can wipe out galaxies around. There are people checking the ships, we must convince one of them to let us in before anything else."

Astra closed her eyes and cracked her neck." Guess your right Frost…its like if boys like Homelander, "Bob", and Thragg are just running all around. But whatever…big men have big egos so what's next?"

Frost smirked before he motioned to himself." I'm now going to play the act of a Frieza fanboy you see. I'm going to have something to offer my "superior" and contestants for the game. Trust me, there is nothing my counterpart loves then tribute."

James shrugged as he looked around." Well…sounds like the best kind of "Aggressive Negotiations" we can manage so might as well go with it."

Astra shrugged before she twirled Gorr around." Fine…but the moment it even smells like you are double crossing me then you're getting a one-way trip to the inside of my blade."

"No need for that…I seen what passes for "mercy" for are enemies…and it's a hard pass for me. Still…we better get ready."

Astra nodded before she followed James and the others before Frost got ready. He motioned Roll to move before the Flutter took off from the larger ships. Astra looked behind her before realizing there were many asteroids floating around, and many rifts in space before she raised an eyebrow." Now I get how a lot of stuff is sliding with how unstable things are but how they expect this thing to last?"

"They don't." James answered bluntly." Like the others said this is some party to celebrate the end of everything, where everything that they won't approve of will become extinct."

Astra saw how bitter James, Sonic, Raymond, and some of the others looked before she shrugged." Well they are going to find out what goes around comes around but first, your up Frost."

They hid as the member of the Multiversal Rebel Alliance opened a request, before a hologram appeared. It took the shape of a woman with long, wavy red hair and red eyes with yellow scleras. She was wearing a long, purple maxi dress, a golden choker with an indigo gem in the center, turquoise earrings, silver bracelets, and a black forehead tiara.

The woman saw Frost's smirk before she sighed." So, your another counterpart of Lord Frieza who thinks looking like him means you get the same respect?"

"Of course not dear. Am I talking to the wife of his Dark Kingdom?"

"Please. I'm Queen Beryl…envoy of the Negaverse!"

"Negaverse…not the Dark Kingdom?"

"You heard me! I'm one of the many seeing that only those worthy to take part in this stage can enter so state your business and prove why your."

"I am Frost, Emperor of my universe. There was a misunderstanding, but I'm a practical man. I know there is no point defying my superior, so I want to pay my respects."

Beryl saw Frost's eyes before she leaned back." And just what do you think you have to offer your superiors?"

"A good show among other things, and a chance to let your lord have a even more enjoyable day."

"We can get anything in any universe that we want…what can you add to that?"

"The chance to once more replay his greatest triumph eh? After all, we may not have everything in common but I know that Frieza loathes those Saiyan primates as much as I do eh? And even more so that are part of the alliance trying to. "

Beryl's eyes widened before uttering," So you're saying you have members of the alliance that are also Saiyans? Well you better prove it, you're not the first to bring to are lord counterparts of his enemy, Gomah, a, self-proclaimed King of demons has just landed to present a captive" Goku" as well. "

"Well I have no idea who that is…but it seems everything's a contest today so we will see who brought the better gift eh?"

"Fine…just prepare yourself what happens when you lose. Jedaite…this ship will land in the Iron City. Don't expect to be anywhere close to the level of are masters till you prove it Frost."

"That's fine." Frost dryly replied." I climbed out of quite a lot of grime…a little more is nothing."

The hologram of Beryl faded before Astra cleared her throat." So just to clear things up…we are kicking things off by throwing one of our own out to be a tribute?"

Frost saw the dirty look before he smirked." Don't jump to conclusions. We have little room for morality but still have ways to not be complete savages. I do intend to give Frieza a Vegeta, but not the one you talked to but a copy."

Astra blinked a few times before she eyed Frost carefully." So, you're giving up one from another universe? That's still messed up."

"Not quite, please listen carefully. I'm presenting a clone of the Vegeta you know made of Commeson. If you're not aware, it's a liquid weapon, taking the form of a dense, purple goo, created by the inhabitants of Planet Potaufeu for the planet's self-defense against invaders. We earlier made an arrangement, and used said goo to make a copy of Vegeta as "bait."

Frost pressed a button before Astra saw a person that looked like Vegeta, his body was completely purple, his eyes were red, and due to being made of a goo-like substance he appeared to be melted.

Astra raised an eyebrow before uttering," Ok this is better…except for the fact that this clone looks like he will melt right after getting out of the box!"

"Don't worry, we will inject chemicals to make him more presentable…it will last long enough to get the act done."

James sighed before he nodded." We have to use the cards we are dealt with, so let's see just what kind of show this Frieza and the rest of the IV agents are running."

Astra was about to say something till she saw a bunch of planets in the distance, and realized they were all aligned to spell out" Hail Lord Freiza". Before she could respond she saw a flash of light. She saw a small orb come out of Cybertron and headed to the left. The orb became as large as a Supernova before it destroyed all the planets to cause fireworks as all the worlds blew up.

As the " Fireworks" went off, the blond woman spat on the ground." Oh its one sick show all right, but no matter what I'm not backing down!"

She put on a new red wig which had a pony tail to hide her identity as the ship landed in the Iron City on Cybertron.

The landing was smooth enough, but everyone kept on full alert as they got out of the ship and saw someone was waiting for them.

The person was a very tall man, standing easily over six feet, being so large that a normal sized man was sitting on his shoulders and look vastly smaller in comparison. His appearance is remarkably similar to that of a Southern-European man - unlike his older brother's Northern-European appearance - bearing a noticeable, light brownish skin color.

He sported a stereotypical military crew cut hairstyle, and has a long, pointed chin. He wore sharp black sunglasses, an olive green trench coat with a green tank top underneath, dark gray pants with a black belt on his waist and black shoes that help to conceal his Olympic-style muscular physique.

The man cracked his neck before uttering," We are the Toguro Brothers…and we were told you have cargo to transfer yes?"

Sam…with a fake mustache walked up before clearing his throat." Brittle Express…here to deliver a package to the" Dead Moon Circus" and some, competitors for the games."

The man on Toguro's shoulder, a somewhat elderly and bedraggled Northern European-like appearance, contrasting with his younger brother's Southern European appearance laughed.

He had long, unkempt, gray hair parted down the middle of his head, long, pointy sharp fingernails, and wears a dark blue long-sleeved button-up shirt with matching pants and black leather dress shoes. His skin was also extremely pale and his fingers extended before hissing out," You look even more fragile then your logo! Shawl we test how fragile they are brother?"

"You have plenty of people to toy with when the job's done brother, we have business to see through. So, some of you are going to take part in the games?"

Astra secured the cap she had on her head before she smirked." Your damn right I am, so who's ass do I have to kick?"

Toguro saw the woman with the cap looked confident before he sighed." Did your " sponsor" tell you what your about to take part in girl? Even a pro fighter like myself can't be so casual about what this game's about."

"Heh…if I don't have faith in myself then who will? So just point me in the right, whoa."

The ground started to shake before Astra got into a fighting stance." Oh so that's how it is eh?"

Togoruo merely checked his watch before he let out a bored sigh." Don't get the wrong idea. This is from one of the other contests going on right now. Yes, the Steel Ball Run is taking part to the right, and the Motorball primaries are being conducted to the left, and Robot Ball below, and the Casa Cristo 5000 above us.

With the stakes as high as they are, some are resorting to rather…extreme measures to try and win."

Astra heard an explosion before she winced." Well which race just got rigged then?"

"Oh…all of them." Togoruo casually retorted." As Astra raised an eyebrow he shrugged." In order to save time many races are being conducted at once, even on the same track. I'm not hear to judge the most effective way to host a universal Olympics though, just to see my client's will sated. That's Sentinel Prime's problem. And…to be frank, I don't mind the races ending early so I can see the Electro Ball finales."

James raised a eyebrow before he snickered." So the lost sport from the world of Marvados has representation? Well, this is not how I wanted to see the sport revitalized I suppose but."

The Enji Master was cut off as another explosion was heard before the ground around the Flutter started to crack, causing Astra to wince." Hey, do you even care about your stuff or not?"

Togoruo casually hoisted the container like it was a toy box and cracked his neck." Yes, hence why I'll take the cargo this way now."

As he leapt back the ground around the ship collapsed. Astra saw the Flutter fall into a racetrack below before she winced." Can't even site see for five god damn minutes?"

Before she used the flash step spell to get next to her friend's ship and catch it before it could hit the ground. As she landed on the race track she saw to the left were jockeys on horses, and to the right were various robots trying to smash each other in what at a glance looked like a hyper-violent cross between gladiatorial combat and speed skating while trying to carry a giant " heavy motorball", and saw both groups were heading right for her before her eye twitched." Hey…the lane's closed jackasses!"

The jockey nearest to her, a young man of below-average height and slim to medium build, who had golden blond hair, dark eyebrows, and light, sharp eyes, and was wearing an Equestrian helmet with the letters "DIO" loosely mounted on bending pins emerging from a small ribbon tied at its front, a turtleneck jumper patterned with a diagonal grid, light, mid-forearm-length gloves, light, wide-legged Breeches, and tall, dark riding boot heard her and just laughed dismissively." HAH! One man's misfortune, is another man's blessing woman! I, Diego Brando, will stand above that flock of pigeons and I will control them."

As Astra got ready to yell back the jockey behind Diego, a young man of below-average height and slim to medium build, that had light eyes, and light, shoulder-length hair curling upwards at its ends, that was a knit cap, which was printed with many small five-pointed stars, that had his hair stick out of holes on either side of the top, taking a shape like short horns, that had a horseshoe hangs from the front, framing an image of the dark silhouette of the profile of a horse's reared head,

that was wearing similarly star-patterned pants, of a piece with footwear bearing spurs, that also was wearing a light-colored, hooded, short-sleeved top; printed with thick lines in the approximate formation of a harness (later, with patches in the shape of hearts adorning both shoulders), that had A long feather (bordered by black with one black spot at its tip) emerging from under the back of his collar; and wore wrist cuffs patterned with stars and stripes, pushed his own horse to run faster while yelling out," Damn it Diego…your making a mockery of the Steel Ball Run with these cheap tricks!"

Diego gave his rival a dismissive sneer as he hissed out," Oh give it a rest Johnny Joestar! This is not about rules…it's about passion and cunning! Old man Valentine himself said that true disgrace is forgetting the pioneer spirit! There is no such thing as failure in this race! There are only adventurers! This Steel Ball Run race will be an event the likes of which the universe has never experienced before! And that's why I'll do whatever it takes to win…like say…turning all my rivals into dinosaurs! Scary Monsters!"

Astra raised a eyebrow as Diego suddenly transformed into the dinosaur Utahraptor; as Diego gained stripes spelling out "DIO" all over his body. His hair turned into spikes that ended in round, ball-shaped tips on the back of his head. Traces of his checkered shirt were still visible on his chest.

The now reptilian Diego roared before turning around to try and rip Jonney's horse apart, only for a golden orb to slam Diego in the head. As the raging Dinosaur was smashed into the wall of the racetrack, the attacker, a jockey that was a man of average to above-average height and medium to athletic build who had has hair that reached mid-back, light eyes, square patches of facial hair lining his jaw, and painted lips that had chiseled into prosthetic teeth the phrase "GO! GO! ZEPPELI!" in a black leather coat and cowboy teeth laughed at the look the man in a dino's body gave him." Nyo ho ho ho…you got some balls trying to sabotage the race Diego…but you know what's more extreme than a dino's teeth? The infinite rotation of the steel balls! Your one insane wanker but even you can't just rig the race all by yourself! Time to,GUH!"

In a flash a knife was suddenly in his hand, and he saw someone was right above him. He looked like Diego but had a greener outfit was suddenly standing on his horse. This blond man had a golden demon come out of his back before grinning." Maybe not one Dio, but two is another story. Yes... Johnny Joestar. In this world, for me, you are the greatest challenge! But no matter what…before this contest is over the only way it will end is with the name Dio Brando being known as the champion! You will die before you can even move…Za Warudo!"

The golden being that was his" Stand" started to glow, but as time slowed down around him as this Dio prepared to move, he saw a shadow, and saw Sonic coming for him despite time freezing.

As Dio widened his eyes, Sonic narrowed his own." I admit I did not think a guy like you could pull something like this without something like a Chaos Emerald. But guess what hotshot…even in a world of frozen time…to me your still to slow."

Dio had his jaw drop before he was about to utter something, only for Sonic to suddenly spin-dash him in the face. The impact smashed Dio into Diego. The two both crashed into the wall before Sonic wagged his finger." The name's Sonic and as you see…speed is my game!"

To the right one of the car racers, a man with a white racing helmet and a blue shirt in a white race named the " Mach 5" car just snickered as he zoomed past the escalating pile up." Man this race keeps getting crazy, but still, racing hasn't changed, and it never will."

Another racer with a mask over his face drove past the Mach 5 before he grit his teeth." It doesn't matter if racing never changes. What matters is if we let racing change us. Every one of us has to find a reason to do this. You don't climb into a T-180 to be a driver. You do it because you're driven. Still, you think you can drive a car and change the world? It doesn't work like that Speed!"

"I know Racer X…but it's the only thing I know how to do, and I got to do something! Huh, whoa!"

The racer swerved out of the way as a chunk of the road suddenly went flying his way and hit Jack "Cannonball" Taylor.

As Cannonball crashed into a hourse, he saw it came from one of the cyborgs was a bald man in a bulky suit of armor trying to crush the android with the Motor Ball, a woman in purple armor as he snarled out," Dance, little flea! I knew you would not wait for your fate! I'll turn you into a living pendant to adorn my chest. Then I can hear your voice every day, bleeding for mercy Alita!"

He revealed his fingers could transform into extendable fingertip cutters as one burst out to slice Alita's leg. But while his attacker smirked, to his shock the wound healed before the woman named Alita uttered," Screw your mercy Grewishka!

She threw the Motor Ball into the air and dodged the other attacks before she jumped up and took out a sword, flipping around and cut him in half with the Damascus Blade. As she caught the ball she saw a few laser blasts go her way and saw it came from a robot flying above her.

It was a robot with a more angular face that and was equipped with bulky red and blue armor housed within his body that can be equipped through shifting his internal mechanisms. He had small electrical bushings on his head, and looked erratic before yelling out," Hahahah! This is not a race it's a barbecue and your all on the menu! Some of you look slick but your still nothing but, GUH!"

He was about to attack Alita, Johnny, and the Flutter, before a energy blast knocked him back. Everyone saw it came from what looked like a young boy that almost looked like he was out of a cartoon. He had large innocent eyes, jet-black spiky hair and light skin tone. And had doll-like segments on his limbs, and was only clad in briefs underwear, a metallic grey or green belt, and red knee-length boots, that were letting the boy fly.

Axl was among the ground before he looked at the disguised Zero and cleared his throat." Is that kid supposed to be the original Megaman?"

Zero tugged the helmet he had over his face before he shrugged." If not they sure look like brothers. Just keep alert."

The flying robot looked at the one in red armor with dismay before uttering," Please stop this Atlas…or people are going to get hurt!"

The robot named Atlas just laughed as energy crackled around him." Were you shut off when they said the news Astro Boy? A lot of people are gonna get hurt!"

"No…I'll stop this madness! But first I have to win the race so get out of the way Atlas!"

"Make me! Fight back damn it!"

Astro Boy kept evading the bolts of lightning Atlas released before the kid robot spat back," No…I don't want to hurt anyone I don't have to!"

"Well I want to hurt you…DIE!"

He formed a massive bolt of energy that he unleashed at his target, only for Astro Boy to have his right arm turn into a cannon before he winced." If this is the only way to stop you…then so be it!"

He fired a massive beam of energy at Atlas which caused Zero to snicker." Ok maybe he is X's cousin from another universe at this point."

Atlas countered Astro's attack and looked fanatically as he yelled out," Get out of my sight! A weak robot like you not meant for fighting can't beat me! GUH!"

He was blasted in the back, and saw it looked like a blue knight on a horse before this knight grasped his glowing blade tightly." Astro is not the only one who wants to stop you Atlas. The Blue Knight fights for robots, but your act will doom us all!"

"Screw you Blue Knight! There is no solidarity, its every man and bot for himself so that's why I'll win the race even if I have to, huh?"

He saw his arm was casually being pulled back before he realized Astra had landed the Flutter and now made her thoughts known by getting in the angry robot's face before she smirked." Well if that's the case then you can just shut up prick!"

She head butt Atlas to the ground, causing many cars and robots to pile up into each other. As explosions break out she winced." Er…sorry but if the race is trying to make me or my pals roadkill I'm going to god damn object!"

As the intersection got more and more congested a buzzer sound came out before a composed voice cut in with," God damn it people…you all can't even one fork in the road? You're all fired! Well…need to put someone out of the preliminaries so lets see…the flying boy is sort of ahead of everyone so whatever…the winner is…Astro Boy! Wait that's seriously his name? Ugh."

Astro Boy looked shocked as a gong sound was heard, before a light shined on him. Astro Boy looked shocked as he winced." Did not want to win like this…but if this means Professor Ochanomizu and Zoran are safe then that's what's important."

The same angry voice from before then boomed out," Clear the damn road you miner bots I want the track ready yesterday! Who's in charge of clean up? What…some…Orion Pax? If he's not out by the time I finish this speech he better just scrap himself!"

Everyone in Astra's group was shocked to see what looked like Optimus Prime, but smaller and without his face plate run up before the apparent " miner bot" just gave a anxious wave." Sorry boss! Just wanted to make sure I was fully charged for the job here, right D-16?"

A robot in white armor hurried up and started lifting some of the wreckage before he just spat out," Shut up and stop trying to drag me down with you Pax some of us are trying to get promoted and you don't have the touch or the power to cover up your idocy!"

Rattrap saw the two before he rubbed his eyes." Are you kidding? That looks like Prime and the original Megatron! They are acting like they are buds!"

Optimus Primal was next to Rattrap, and winced at the sight." Prime and Megatron were never friends as far as I can remember…they first met each other when Megatron approached him about the possibility of using one of the warehouses on Corneria for storage, only to turn on Pax once he had gained access to the energy stored within the facility before defecting to the Zeon Federation.

Megatron fatally injured Orion in a scuffle and left the young robot to die while he set about pillaging and battling the guardian robots who arrived to quash his uprising. Unbeknownst to Megatron, thanks to the actions of the time-displaced Aerialbots, Orion was rebuilt by Alpha Trion into a new configuration that could truly stand up to Megatron's power—to become Optimus Prime. They were never friends."

Zero snickered before he looked up." I know, I was there. Me and X thought Orion had the resolve to go all the way so we vouched for Trion to rebuild him. He did his duty well…and we are here to make sure it was not for nothing."

Cheetor looked at the two below before he growled." Then this world has a twisted set of humor big bot."

"Agreed." Primal replied." Let's just make sure not to get twisted by it. Lets get into position."

As the Maximal's and Maverick Hunters tried to not get attention, Astra looked around and realized there were lights all over before she winced." Um…sorry for getting in the way of the games…was just trying to make it before they started."

Before anyone around her could reply the same announcer from before suddenly laughed." Oh don't worry about that, you just made the Cell Games even more of a legendary spectacle. I assure you of that, because they are my games!"

Everyone tensed up as a sphere of light came down to the racetrack, before everyone realize there was a person in that sphere. He was a man in gold and silver armor, with wings similar to those of a beetle, and a helmet with upward-pointing horns with the black ball-like section.

Astra saw the man's confident look before she rubbed her head." So you're the host or something?"

The man chuckled before crossing his arms." These games are named after me woman. You can call me Hyper Perfect Cell…the ultimate fighter! You see, I'm perfect, my strength is perfect and so I'm holding the perfect festival in my honor. Congrats…your spunk has moved me enough to let you take part in the games despite being a late entry."

Astra cracked her neck before she walked up." Well if you want to test how perfect you really are dude then I'm game to cut to the chase."

"Don't get to cocky girl I said you have the right to take part. Only those who make it through Heavens Arena over there will be given the pleasure of my judgment."

Astra saw Cell point to the upper right, she saw the Heavens Arena he was talking about, a white building that stood nine hundred and ninety-one meters tall and had two hundred and fifty-one floors before she shrugged." Bring it…I'm pissed off enough to fight all day."

"That's the spirit. You're not a Saiyan are you?"

"I'm no monkey girl…I'm me! A, Amy!"

Astra saw Sonic wince before Cell laughed. "Well you at least don't look like a knock off. Unlike you kid. Your really not a hapless doll someone sent in as a meat shield Atom Boy?"

Astro Boy saw Cell was looking at him before he got defensive." Hey that's Astro Boy and I'm not a mistake! I'm the super-robotic" hope of to be the envy of both humans and robots!"

Cell resisted the urge to laugh before he closed his eyes." Yes well "Proto lad" I am the ultimate creation of Dr. Gero, designed via cell recombination using the genetics of the greatest fighters in the universe! And thanks to a patch given by the highly generations Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation I updated from the Red Ribbon Army's model to have all the greatest skills across the Multiverse!"

"Maybe but you don't have a true heart!"

"For real? I remember now, even Tobio Tenma said you would never make it because that fool Dr. O'Shay was turning you into a disgrace."

Hey Dr. Hiroshi Ochanomizu treated me as more than a toy! He is my father and I'll be what he wants me to be any day!"

"Heh, well your nose is not growing so I guess your telling the truth eh Pinocchio? See where that heart gets you boy, and if you make it to me in the main event well we will see just how good a human heart gets you in the face of supreme perfection! Just remember to fight like your life is on the line…because it is! Yes…with the last premieres coming to a crashing halt me and Lord Frieza officially declare the beginning of the Cell Olympics! You had that damn torch right Android 14?"

A kid that looked like a very short and small man in a large green hat with purple skin floated up with a torch in his hand before Cell smirked." Good, now hold still."

He promptly pimp slapped Android 14 into the direction of Galactia Palace, before a massive flame burst out that could be seen all over the planet. Cell laughed before swiping dust off his arm." That will teach him to get my lunch wrong. Alright universes, you been given enough time to prepare. Time for life to be chalked to the brim with nail biting suspense! Every kind of game that Frieza approves of will now be waged so that the champion will be decided, so that the winner gets the glory of living in the new era, while the losers get erased!

I'll do the fighting, and judges will monitor the rest. Make it fun for me and the others, don't want to play a new game now do we? So in closing, I urge all contestants to be as able as you can be…there won't be a second chance. Meanwhile feel free to pray to your god. But spoiler alert, I won't be listening."

Cell saw Astra and smirked." You will get your assignment in Heaven's Arena…don't be late. And now a song from the singer Uta to honor are Lord's glory."

Astra saw Cell fly off before the song" A Chilling Elegy" started to play to honor Frieza before she spat on the ground." Oh, I'm not running from the chance to turn you into legit cells asshole."

James walked up before he looked around to make sure no one was watching them and walked past Astra." Be on guard " Amy"…Cell was one of Goku and Gohan's most deadly enemies, and this version looks far beyond the power level of a Super Saiyan 2."

Astra shrugged as she looked confidant." Screw that power level crap! I don't care how many levels this hyper perfect tool is, the bigger the ego the harder the fall."

James could not help but chuckle before he sighed." You really do remind me of Doug at times…he said the same thing in so many missions."

Astra winced before she looked down." You want to go back to being a ghost? We may be on the same side but we sure as hell are not " buds" like you and my old man use to be when he was a Enji. "

The " Demi Fiend" saw James wince before she sighed." Look...don't mean to rub it in or anything ok? Just...don't compare me to him…I'm not just running away. That's why let's get a move on."

"Trust me Astra I know the stakes. Just be mindful that we are deeper in enemy territory than ever before, this whole universe is under their control and while there are others struggling, there's no one that's in the position to provide reinforcements."

"I get that you're trying to be team leader hear Elrond but I'm not Mike or his father…I made it this far mostly acting my own instincts, and even if there are more enemies than ever before…I know when to play my hand. Just be ready to play yours."

Astro Boy then walked over before he smiled." Sorry for the trouble. Let me and Doc Ochanomizu show you around! It's the least I can do!"

James gave a wary nod before Astra shrugged." Sure…sounds like we are going to need all the friends we can get."

Alita saw the floating city of Zalem above before she grit her teeth." I'm at last going to Zalem. Nova…you're at last answering for what you did!"

Astra smirked before she nodded at the other woman." Trust me…I know that anger. Let's go together to make sure we both see that rage through eh?" Alita nodded before the group helped Roll get the Flutter get ready to properly dock.

As the group prepared to do whatever it took to succeed in the depths of enemy territory, little did they know that there were at least some on this Gan Knot version of Cybertron that shared their objective, if not their motives, and said person would be Xehamaru.

The former leader of Sithantos had to use all of his cunning to keep up the act, but as of yet he still has had the rest of his fellow IV staff think he was Paradox. He had done some minor tasks in the " company" buildings to ward off suspicion, but was slowly able to get more info on the Multiverse he had just become aware of.

He was able to get cover identities for Crowly and Castile, and at the moment the unlikely trio, along with Mobius and Renslayer, were entering to the" Main hall" of Galactia Palace before Mobius smirked at the man that took up the identity of his coworker." Not too snazzy eh guys? Just had to put in some overtime and we get to see the party kick off! With how much they have going on in these Olympics I might be able to make use of that Jet ski!"

Xehamaru saw the blond office worker's zeal, before he looked out of the palace and saw all the stadiums around the palace before he snickered." Yes well…it does seem like one way or another, it's going to be a once in a life time event."

Renslayer cleared her throat as she gave a sour look at her coworkers." Why are you acting like you have free will? Only one person gets free will. The one in charge. We are still on the clock, and are to make sure the top ranked IV employees are all happy, and preforming their jobs. Forget your role and there will be a demerit, at least. "

Xehamaru shrugged as he retorted with a coy," Oh don't worry about that…I have every desire to see the job thoroughly well done. After all…might never have a chance to earn such a …accomplishment. Still, it does seem like things are being run smoothly around this world at least."

"Yah…Frieza has ruled this iron planet with an even harder iron fist. But he's gotten lax and does not think rebels can stop him. We are here…to check the lapses in his security so that the Rebel Alliance can not interfere with are final phase. These many be some of the top members in the company, but no one's ego will be allowed to sabotage the company's end game. If need be, we will use the Time Ripper device to shatter this entire universe, only the Tuning Fork really matters.

In the end, we are reaching the point where are company will be most profitable, without being dependent on workers. It would...delay things but would still be better then any sabotage."

The man posing as another man chuckled bitterly before uttering," Forgive me for missing that one meeting but just how is making ourselves have no worth a reward again?"

"Because there will be nothing but the ultimate victory, the final state of existence Paradox, that's the end of everything!"

Xehamaru saw the zeal in her eyes and closed his own before he shrugged." Of course, must have forgot in all the excitement and what not. Well then…let's see who's gotten ahead of themselves oh? Well…guess the party has already started."

The group saw themselves in a wide chamber, filled with various men and woman, but the person in the top was clearly in charge. He looked like Frost, only with purple skin and was in a Hover Chair, not because he could not walk, but because he chose not to.

A woman was next to him, one in an IV uniform that had gelled green hair and a scouter they gave off intense light as she tapped her wine glass to get the room's attention." Everyone, the time has come. Give your tribute to Lord Frieza and the moment of triumph for the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation!"

Frieza snickered before he leaned back." Thank you Bulma…as always your zeal is most appreciated, next to your genius. Now then everyone, we are some of the most productive members in the entire Infinite Victory and Conquest corporation, and are drive is pushing this Multiverse spanning company to its goals even faster than Mr V-Day himself expected. And since we worked the hardest, it's only natural we deserve the most praise yes? And of course since I did the best of all I deserve the most praise, hence this Olympics in my honor.

I'm not selfish enough to hog all the fun for myself, but how much I'll give depends on how properly you all give me my due. So Sailor Galaxia, Aizen Sōsuke, Raoh, Meruem, Hao, President Funny Valatine, Bakura Ryou, Medusa, King Bradley, Prince Diamond, The Earl of Millennium, Dartz, Jura, Lord Hades, Lucia Raregroove, Blackbeard, anyone want to go first? It might be better before I get bored."

The woman to the left, one in a pure gold set of dress like armor just sneered. She had a Sapphire Crystal in the middle of her chest like a brooch. Her hair had been rolled back to fit into the headdress, overall resembling a crown. She wore orange lipstick and light purple eye-shadow.

She wore a choker of golden leaf's and had a similar belt. At her wrists she wore Galactica Bracelets on her sides that were glowing, and the woman in golden just snickered." I assure you Frieza, the Shadow Galactica always aims for the best. Still…it seems undignified to have to go before the peasants offerings."

Frieza saw of the men around him tense up before he snickered." Ease up their Nappa, Raditz, General Rildo, Garlic Jr, Bojack, Slug, she does have a point. Let's save the best for last eh? Alright, first up, I heard that there was another me from another universe that wanted to impress his superior. One way or another want to see where this ends up so bring them in Turles."

A man that looked like Goku along with a bald Sayian and another Sayian with long hair nodded, before he motioned the door to the right, before Frost walked in with some of the others in Astra's group.

Xehamaru realized he saw some of them from his fight over planet Ormus but pretended he was just curious as Frost walked up and saw all the hostile looks before Frieza broke the silence with a laugh." "I doubt I need an introduction, but just in case, I am the mighty Frieza, and yes, all the horrible stories you've heard are true."

Frost bowed before responding with a diplomatic," It's only been a short amount of time but I heard quite a lot. I wanted to apologize for misunderstandings. The nature of the Multiverse was quite new to me so I acted rashly."

Frieza glanced at his counterpart before he snickered." I see…we seem quite similar indeed…on the surface. Do you like ruling by power to?"

"Yes…of course."

"Heh…well then you might be…promising. But know this…shallow similarities won't be enough to humor those who drag down my vision, as my own brother Cooler found out the hard way when he tried to undermine me."

Frieza glanced to the right, where Frost winced to see someone that looked like Frieza with more purple on his face's head on a spike before he shrugged." Oh…I assure you I'm someone who knows how to make practical choices to come out on top. To prove I won't slow you down I come with an offering! I know you came out on top with the Saiyans that defied you, but since you were so through I thought you would like to pass judgment to a few more!"

He snapped his fingers before the Copy Vegeta was put out of the box that was brought. With the potions the copy was given he looked just like Xeno Vegeta, causing Frieza to look amused." Oh, you had a Vegeta in your universe to eh? I did find that I broke Vegeta's back to soon before! Not bad. You're not the only one who brought me another version of the men I hate killing the most though. Lets see who brought the better catch. Bring in that…" demon king" I suppose."

Everyone heard some shouting before from the door on the right came a man so small some assumed he was a child. He was short Demon who wore a skintight red and black body suit with white gloves and boots. The suit seems to have a large "M" like insignia. He also dawned a cape.

He had a white face with red underlines under each of his eyes which also have a black eyeliner. He has a pair of large horns that seem to be fused with his head rather than growing out of them separately and has distinctive pointy ears. He also carried around a brown staff which has golden ends and a red ball on the top.

He looked around eagerly before spawning a tight grin." Welcome future subjects, I am King Gomah, the greatest demon in any universe!"

Frieza sighed before he leaned back." That may pass for humor in your universe clown but if I wanted to see fools not know how ridiculous they look I would have had Bonyu and the rest of the force come out again. But I have a lot of gifts to accept so have the real king come in."

Gomah had his eye twitch before he yelled out," I AM A SERIOUS DEMON KING DAMN IT! After all I managed to capture the one who they say was your arch rival in your universe, the one named Goku!"

Frieza had sparks of energy form around his eyes before responding with a chilled," Just so we are clear…if it's some clown dressed like that monkey…the price for wasting my time is death."

"Hey I'm for real! Dr. Arinsu, Degesu, Neva, bring him in!"

A male kai with purple skin, a woman kai with a scientist coat, and a Namekian that looked like he was going to die any moment walked in with a small jar.

The male named Degesu gave a nod before putting the jar on the ground." One moment please. Reverse Containment Wave!"

The fallen kai cast a spell before the top of the jar came open, and someone that looked like Goku at the age of a child burst out of a green whirlwind. As this new Mini Goku moaned Frieza sighed." Well that is Goku without a doubt, but capturing the damn monkey when he's just a bloody child is no great task."

"It's not just that!" Gomah spat out anxiously." We used the Dragon Balls to turn him into a child but he was a threat to us beforehand!"

"So you can only beat him with tricks eh? Not to promising on your own then."

"Hey it was more than that trust me! Neva hear is super senile but, Neva is capable of sensing the location of Dragon Balls, as well as summoning them and restoring their wish-granting power before the necessary cool-down year has passed!"

Frieza looked at the elderly Namekian before he closed his eyes." I won't deny that would be quite handy. Of course…I'm about to never need to make a wish again because all my dreams are about to come true!"

This Mini Goku rubbed his head before he took out a red rod, his Power Pole, before he looked at Frieza. That…that's you Frieza? I don't know what's going on but this sounds like something you would do! I may be a kid but I'm strong enough to take you out with one punch all the same!"

Goku suddenly turned Super Saiyan before Frieza narrowed his eyes." Those eyes…you may be a child…but those are the same eyes! But…this is good. I wanted to right that time you wronged me on Namek…to prove you…every last one of you across the Multiverse are beneath me!"

Goku got into a fighting stance before lighting crackled around his aura." Your never going to have your way again Frieza! Power Pole extend!"

Mini Goku had his pole suddenly shoot out, but his target casually caught the pole between his fingers before he finished his drink." Oh…I told you...you filthy monkey…that fluke…has been corrected. You are nothing to me now."

He snapped the pole with his fingers before Goku tensed up." Maybe your going to make this a harder fight after all this time Frieza…but I'm still not losing to you! Ka…ma…ha…ma…ha!"

Mini Goku fired his most preferred energy beam before Frieza suddenly had his entire body turn black and a red mark appeared on his chest." Yes you are…because now I am what I always was fated to be…a God! You may be a child now, but I will show no mercy, ESPECIALLY to you! Be erased you damn ape!"

He fired a beam from his finger…and this death beam casually carved through the Kamehameha before Mini Goku looked horrified." No…have to form a Sprit, AHHH!"

The death beam hit his chest, and everyone saw Mini Goku scream before he was blown apart. Frieza licked the blood off his face before looking delighted." Even after all this time it still does not get old."

Gomah had his jaw drop before he wiped sweat off his brow." You…you made that look so easy! You really are hardcore! We are going to be great demons together."

"Together?" Frieza spat with pure disgust." Giving me one more, weaker Goku to kill does not make us anything close to equals!"

"Ah come on!" Gomah moaned." If I have the stuff you have I can be a super universe level demon king to and, AHH!"

Frieza suddenly grasped his fist, before Gomah gasped for air. He started to float above Frieza before the tailed villain looked at him with disgust." Your already boring me. I assure you, no matter what you will never be as good a tyrant as me, the great Frieza! The fact that you don't realize this…is unforgivable clown."

"No wait I can be a great, GUAHH!"

Gomah exploded into pieces a moment later. Frieza looked at the demon king's henchmen before clearing his throat." Well he was a poor clown but he was good at playing pop goes the weasel! Ah...but now for the rest. You can try and avenge your master if you like but it won't end well for you."

Dr. Arinsu shrugged before responding with a casual," Oh to be honest, I just worked with him because there were few options in are demon realm. I assure you, I'm all to happy to work for a far more competent master."

Degesu shrugged before he let out an uneasy chuckle." My loyalty is er…to the will of demons…not any one lord."

Neva just looked around in confusion before mumbling," Where did the birds go?"

Frieza snorted before he leaned back." Very well…I'm not petty enough to punish those who were bound to a fool as long as you can prove you can function under my demands. But for now, let's see how your offer fairs eh Frost? I hope your wiser than the clown, I would hate to pass judgment on my own kind but some like that version of me that was mixed with one of those Digimon did get deluded about themselves and, as a result I killed all the Digimon in this universe."

Frost let out an uneasy chuckle before he bowed." I assure you my lord, I always make the practical move, unlike these apes hear, right Vegeta?"

The copy of Vegeta had his eye twitch before he glared at the man who killed his father and his planet." Frieza…no matter how hard you try…you will never get away from the wrath of are race for long! You, AHH!"

He was about to try and charge the man who killed his father, till a bolt of lighting hit him. To his shock it did not come from Frieza, but Bulma. The woman that was his wife looked at him with raw hate as the glove she fired the lighting from crackled." How dare you talk to your superior that way you damn monkey!"

Vegeta looked shocked before uttering," Bulma…Frieza made you his slave?"

"Hah…I don't know how pitiful the Bulma in your universe was but I sided with the superior man easily! I get everything I want to be helpful to my lord, why would I ever side with a savage like you? You're getting what you deserve!"

Frieza looked delighted at Vegeta's despair before he declared," Oh…this hurts you monkey? As she said…this Bulma is a far more logical woman then the one you swindled. Your own family rejects you once they are not bound to you! In fact…yes…this is the better way to see you die again. Trunks…bring me this traitors head!"

Copy Vegeta widened his eyes as the Trunks from the Prime Universe walked into the room, now looking like a mindless soldier. Trunks eyed Vegeta with scorn before taking out his sword." Father…no…Vegeta…you will pay. You tricked me…but V-Day was more of a father to me then you ever were! Your answering…for what you did to me!"

He suddenly turned into a Super Saiyan before Copy Vegeta tried to power up." Damn it boy, what nonsense has these scum filled down your, GUH!"

In a flash, Trunks stabbed his father through the throat before looking driven, and saying," Your wrong…I'm seeing things clearly at last. That's why its time for you to be gone forever Vegeta!"

Everyone saw Trunks kill the copy of his father like how he first killed Frieza long ago, by slicing him into pieces. Frieza laughed at seeing Vegeta's head roll by him before he clapped." Ah, that was worth it. When Mr. V-Day was in this" Prime universe" He found this Trunks hear and," opened his mind" to the truth. I think it worked quite well if I do say so myself. I was rewarded for my productivity by having command of the one who killed me, poetic is it not?"

Xehamaru, still as Paradox, saw Trunks look indifferent to killing a copy of his father before he cleared his throat." It does seem that punishing fools by making them do what they would not do till they " saw the light" is the most…effective way to prove one's point."

Frieza paused before his eye twitched. He grasped his head before uttering a distracted," That's right…only the fools get such…treatment…and I am…no fool. Yes…as great as I am…it was Mr. V-Day who showed me how to break the limits of the gods, and surpass fools like Beerus. I'm hear now, because of him and the glory of the IV . That's why he's one of the few in all the multiverse that I'll give open praise for."

Sailor Galaxia had her eye twitch before giggling out," That's right…Mr.V Day is the one who showed me my destiny. After all, who could protect the galaxy but me?"

The person next to her snickered. He was a short white hair and wears a white suit with gloves and a blue cape. The suit has blue designs embroidered in it, had jewelry and he wore black crystal earrings. He flicked his cape back before uttering," The Black Moon Clan will never be allowed to forget how Prince Diamond guided us to victory. Of course, its all because Mr-V Man proved to be wiser then well, Wiseman was."

The man next to him sighed, he was a humanoid bug.

He was muscular and toned, despite his relatively small frame. He had two long antennae on his ears resembling long earlobes and a large shell-like armor over his head that resembled a helmet.

There were dark pigmented areas on his arms, legs, chest, and head. He possessed a powerful tail equipped with a stinger that served as his weapon. Both his hands and feet had only four digits each, and at the moment he just sighed." It was because of Mr.V-Day that I had clarity in my life, along with all of the Chimera Ants. Before that I was thinking, who am I? Why am I here? A king with no name. A borrowed castle. My subjects are mindless drones. If this is the mandate of Heaven I have been given... I fear... I fear nothing... except the tedium that it will bring. But I know now that I am Meruem…king of the Chimera Ants, and the apex predator."

As the humanoid cat next to him, Neferpitou, purred, a male that looked like a young boy but was far older with long brown hair, with red boots, Asakura Hao, chuckled." It does seem that after this, we will all ascend to where we deserve, a place that will make the Shaman King seem like nothing."

A taller man next to him, one with long, light hair, curling at its ends into several thick, well-defined rings ,perhaps as a reference to the white periwigs and hairstyles of the 18th century, as worn by several early United States Presidents, that donned a smooth, uniform outfit, including an overcoat close to the end of his torso. ficked back his hair before he nodded." Yes, unlike all those before me I, Funny Valentine will truley live up to my promises as the last president of the United States! My heart and actions are utterly pure…! Everything I do is for justice!

All these rebels understand so very, very little. Suppose that… you were sitting down at a table. The napkins are in front of you. Which napkin would you take? The one on your left or the one on your right? 'The left' is correct. But, in a larger sense of society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute society with the universe. The correct answer is that "it is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first. Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there's no choice but for the others to also take the napkin on their right. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option.

This is society… who are the ones who determine the price of land first? There must have been someone determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and regulation? Who was the first one to determine those things? Did we all do it, because this is a republic? Or was it arbitrary? No! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things!

The rules of this world are determined by the same principle as "right or left?"! In a society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era… this world has been operating by this napkin principle.
And the one who takes the napkin first must be someone respected by all. It's not that anyone can fulfill this role… those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the losers.

In the case of this table… the eldest or the master of the party will take the napkin first… because everyone respects those individuals. For example, if Jesus-Christ were sitting at this table… no matter who you are, even if you are the Pope, you would have no choice but to take your napkin after Jesus-Christ, yes ?

Soon, I will obtain that power… that object that all will pay their respects to. Something irrefutable. Something immovable. That is true power. And those under this power's influence can only be allies. I will become the one that can take the napkin first. I, Funny Valentine, will be the one sitting at that table.

That does sound like how things should be, right Lord Millennium?"

He saw the man next to him putting surger cubes into his tea. The man resembled a grotesque caricature of a Victorian gentleman, and was a large, almost cartoonish, rotund figure, easily towering over everyone else. The Earl had a goblin-like face, with long pointed ears, and perhaps his most notable characteristic, was his large rectangular-shaped mouth that appears stuck in a perpetual grin. He had gray skin and, on the rare occasion they can be seen behind his glasses, golden eyes.

This Millennium Earl let out a crude laugh before sitting back."Those rebels though they were the better men but they are forgetting something. There's a famous saying in the East. Even with a crappy gun, shoot a lot and you'll hit something. I have a hell of a lot of Akuma.

Don't you agree, King Bradly?"

He turned to an older man near sixty with an incredible physique for his age. He had a full head of black hair, with a few greying hairs and a thick black mustache, a blue tint to his right eye, and an eye patch over his left eye who was clad in a blue, full length military issue coat and slacks with black dress shoes. His uniform had a grey sash around it which he used to carry his swords. Bradly sipped some tea before uttering," So many of them still think God will save them. Its intriguing, how much longer do they think 'God' plans to wait before unleashing his fury? Just how many more thousands of lives must we take before they decides to strike us down?

'God' is nothing more than a construct created by man to inspire fear and promote order. If they wish to see me struck down, for all these atrocities, they will use there own hands to do so, not 'God's'. Other wise they will just be food, right Lust, Gluttony, Kabuto Yakushi?"

As a fat bald man next to him and a pretty woman in a black dress with long claw like hands nodded next to him, another man near him laughed as well as this man with sliver hair and glasses just snickered." The info is favoring us, and this war has giving me a lot of info. Well, the info cards I gained will have quite a lot of value by the end of this. One way or another, V-Day's given us quite a lot of info, right Blackbeard?"

A wide round man let out a large laugh. He was a very tall man with dark skin. He had a massive build as his body is round with relatively thin limbs. He had a prominent lipped mouth with several broken or missing teeth. A pronounced crooked nose and a very large and hairy chest and torso. Long, thick, woolly black hair falls down the back of his neck, underneath a black bandanna.

He also had a black beard that grew around his jawline and at the moment he belched out a rowdy," Hahah… Marshall D. Teach does not have many folks he has debt to, but this Blackbeard won't deny it's because of V-Day that this pirates going to get the most treasure any one will ever have!"

A thickset, elderly man with a full white mustache and beard next to him cleared his throat. He possessed white dreadlocks which he wore a flat black hat over.

He had a scar on the left side of his face, stretching diagonally over his eye. Like two of his fellow Elders, his outfit consisted of a black suit over a dark purple tie and a white collared shirt, as well as black pants. He carried a walking cane before tapping it on the ground" Keep it together Blackbeard…I… Saint Jaygarcia Saturn and the rest of the nobles won't let you ruin this day with your lack of decorum."

As Black Beard sneered at Saturn and the other old men around him, a chuckle caused both men to tense up, as they saw a man painting a picture in the corner. He had long black hair, and wore a long black coat with gold collar close at the front and a long purple ribbon tied to the waist, white pants and black espadrilles. The man stopped painting before he sighed." Oh…today will make a wonderful painting indeed. After all…even for me, King of the Underworld, the amount of death is overwhelming."

His servant…a woman with long black hair with a staff giggled before uttering," Oh it will be a day that pleases you so much Lord Hades…as long as that silly Alone does not protest."

"We will see Pandora."

As Hades went back to his painting a man with slicked back brown hair and a white suit chuckled." Everyone's ripe with fear…but fear is necessary for evolution, and at last existence will evolve so much that we will truly go past the edge of reason. Ulquiorra Cifer...make sure the Espada are ready for the moment of truth."

A pale white man with green eyes and black hair that was one of the elite Hollow demons named a Arrancar nodded." Of course Lord Aizen, I'll make sure Stark gets the others ready."

A woman with golden hair in a black cloak snickered next to the man." Oh we will push it Aizen. The power of IV surpasses human understanding. It is evolution itself. All those pretender gods have protected the Multiverse by acting as a check against power. All those hero's only seeks only to maintain the status quo, that's its mission.

But still... time continues to march forward. It; s only natural for the rest of the multiverse to progress with it, don't you agree? That's how nature works. And yet Aizen, those hero's has made a point to keep that from happening. Do they really want to live in a world of stasis? Where nothing changes? Well, they will understand or they will die."

"The answer will be made clear soon Medusa Gorgan."

A bulky man in black armor cracked his neck before bellowing out," Even the gods quake in fear before the power of my fists! No one will be spared if they get in the way of what we deserve!"

A man with blond hair in dark knight armor with a long blade with dozens of dark orbs in his blade grasped his sword tightly before he smirked." Sounds good to me Raoh. Neo Decalogue is hungry for blood on my end to!"

A man with long white hair in a black trench coat snickered before he grasped the golden ring on his chest." Oh this will be a fun Shadow Game indeed Lucia Raregroove, let the banquet of darkness begin!"

Dartz nodded before the man with green hair grasped his hand tightly." At last...paradise will be ours as the ultimate le

Renslayer saw how excited everyone looked before she glanced at the Tuning Fork before she cleared her throat." As some of the biggest shareholders in all of the Infinite Victory and Conquest you have earned the right to enjoy the fruits of your labor. But, just remember that it's not over yet. Members of the Multiversal Rebel Alliance will do anything to try and defy their fate."

Frieza snickered as he looked amused." Oh they can try…but I'll crush those maggots nice and slow. Come one come all, one way or another you will bare witness to the might of the true Frieza! The one who embraced the true nature of the Multiverse!"

Everyone nodded before most in the room all uttered," Sabbatha Hanti...We are the true order. Lodsam Hanti...we are the chosen ones. Cahanna risone Hanti...we are the fortunate ones. Jaya Hanti...we are the victorious ones!"

Xehamaru saw everyone from Freiza to Galactia all speak in the same manner like they were in synch before he tensed up.

As others began to show their gifts Xehamaru made sure no one was looking at him before he eyed everyone carefully. I won't deny it…this is the kind of celebration I always expected Master Zannacross to give when…when we were to win are war on the Enji and the rest of the forces of light. But…its not the same. I can see it now that Kira told me about it…many of these hear are just as controlled as Max was in hell, even if they are not aware of it.

Some of these "elite" are nearly gods themselves…but seemed to be casually be beaten, if not revived to be slaves. To be able to disrupt this control, not just for those hear but all over this farce of a company, might be one of the few ways to derail there plan.

Of course…there is the little matter of living long enough to figure out how to do that. But…that's the only reason I'm alive. After all, the only ones that even are aware of who I am is Kira and Master Zannacross at this point. Fulfilling my duty to the true will of the darkness, is the only reason I have to exist. But that's fine...that's how its been since the start...I always been alone...that's why the only person I can really count on is myself

As Xehamaru was lamenting, Bulma was still seeing people enter before she motioned to Frieza and uttered," Now we have… a Shadow Druid from the world of Slythron, Allison Earndil."

Xehamaru blinked a few times before he turned around and uttered," Wait…she said what?"

He saw a woman enter the room that had long red hair in a braid with a staff like a snake in a green and black outfit. She made a curt nod before bowing to Frieza." The Circle of the Onyx Groove offers the other tribes treasure. Since they would not pay tribute, we made them pay it."

Frieza saw some gold statues with diamonds before he nodded." Lets see…that's sufficient for now Allison. Sentinel Prime hear will guide you to your next task."

"As you wish."

As she left with the blue and golden humanoid robot, Bulma snickered. " Dr. Umataro Tenma and that newcomer with the stitch's are overseeing the tests in Heaven's Arena…I'm sure she will be tested "properly"."

Frieza snickered before responding with," Either she will give us a show, or her suffering will be the show. Next!"

Xehamaru winced as he quickly turned around. Mobius saw him, as Paradox looked distraught before he chuckled." What's wrong man you look like you saw a ghost! I know the food's an acquired taste but trust me, don't act like its bad or it will come out of are pay, at the least."

The former Enji looked around before he chuckled bitterly." Its just…I thought I saw a ghost. That woman…reminded me of someone I knew…someone I saw die."

"Oh really? Well it's a big multiverse out there so it happens. Well this was a hoot but back to work and all."

"Yes…I just have to double check something."

Xehamaru left the room before anyone could say something, and Castile and Crowly quickly followed him before the other demon looked around and muttered," What is it mate? Think they are on to us?"

"No…not that…it is someone I know but not in that way."

Castile eyed his unlikely teammate carefully before he cleared his throat." That woman…you clearly know her. Or at least, you knew a woman like her in your own universe yes?"

Xehamaru saw Crowley raise an eyebrow before he sighed." You do seem to be good at picking up trauma angel. Bah…but your correct.

She is an old friend of mine, an Enji Knight named Allison. Allison Earndil…I do believe she was the women I was fond of the most. It helped that…she was one of the few others of my people to survive the massacre. She was one of the most talented druids that I knew in the entire Enji order kind, and a strong backbone to boot. Not to mention she was one of the few who reached out to me when I first joined the Enji. Yes, she too always wanted to believe the best in people. I almost was coming along to her viewpoint on things.

But then…then the humans and barbarians in the space colony she was protecting from raiders decided to reward her kindness, devotion and resolve by selling her out!

Despite how she was willing to defend them no matter what, that damn major allowed her to be killed ruthlessly without a second thought just to be rewarded with betrayal when Shadaloo paid for whoever would betray her to gain favor with!

Despite how magnificent a person she was, her life was worth only a few thousand credits to her so called "admirers". I remember her last hopeful message, she thought the people would come to their so-called senses and rally together with the real nature of humanity. That…that and what happened with Irazous pushed me to the path of the dark side.

I always lamented not being able to save her. I even tried to revive her but…her soul went on to heaven so the Edo Tensei ritual would not work. But now…now she's here."

Crowley snickered before uttering," Never thought you would be a softy snakes. To be clear...where you two pals or this a stalker kind of thing?"

Xehamaru glared at the demon before hissing out," We were not " a couple" but the friendship was real Crowly. There was no point thinking if we could become more, the door was closed...till now."

"But don't be a damn fool…this woman's from another universe mate, she may have the same face but she could be completely different then the chick you had a crush on."

Castile sighed before adding," I understand trying to find what you lost, but this is not the way. Your concerned that she's about to be killed? If you blow your cover that could jeopardized everything."

"Only if we act poorly. We have to get an idea on what's going on this way. At least this way…I'm even more motivated."

Castile sighed before he looked around." On one hand I'm glad that even after all this…there's some light in your heart. On the other hand, this is the precisely worst time to be distracted by anything but what will keep us all from being damned. But if you know her enough to give us more info faster that might help us. Just trend carefully, it's clear this entire planet is not a place for love, but for hate."

"Oh trust me even if I have not been alive as much as some of these " elite" I know all about hatred. The difference is, I'll use that hatred to steer things in a direction where the end game is not just one person's hate is rewarded, but the hate of all the repressed across the Multiverse. If there's a chance to at least partially make up for one of my biggest regrets, then I'll do whatever it takes to submit all the pieces around me to the setting I desire. Let's go."

Crowley and Castile saw Xehamaru take off before they exchanged bitter wary nods and followed after him.

As they found themselves diving into a every escalating crises, they were far from alone with that feeling as we switch back to Astra's group. The blond woman and her new Party members decided that they might as well play along, and went to the "Heavens Arena " building.

Astra saw dozens of people entering before she looked at the others and shrugged." So I just kick enough ass till the jackasses running this get distracted and we try and mess up that tower? Sounds simple enough."

James looked around before he sighed." It's not that simple Astra. We are trying to see if we can find a counterpart to Ben in this universe."

"Well how the hell are we supposed to do that? Unless you know something I don't we might as well draw straws till we find the guy who's Ben in this universe? For all we know he might already be dead so unless we get a clue then I'm going to focus on what I know I can do."

She kicked the door to the building open before a polite voice cut in with," Welcome to Heaven's Arena! Is there anything you need?"

"From you? How about, huh, what?"

She blinked as she realized the person was a older bald man in a IV uniform and beady eyes. He looked unremarkable in her first glance aside from two things, one was that he had wheels instead of legs, and that the person's face reminded her of someone. She cleared her throat and cracked her neck." Wait, who are you again? Are you who I'm fighting?"

"Oh heavens no." The bald man uttered." I'm Friar Benito De Niro! I'm not a fighter but a humble cog in the great system that is the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation !"

James widened his eyes before he looked at Benito carefully." Sorry are you a man…or a machine!?"

"I'm both sir! My flesh was too inefficient, so I gladly combined my body with a transtector to become a Transformer. I worked hard enough to get my bonus so I assure you that I can provide quality assistance!"

"But like, how you get it on with no junk and all?"

Benito winced before he looked down."That…is no longer part of my life. I…once was weighed down by distractions but the company helped me realize that was just a waste for for someone like me...that was not what my life was for."

Astra rolled her eyes before spitting back," Just keep telling yourself that but, I'm here to fight so I just want to know where I fight to get this over with."

Benito shrugged before replying with," And you are?"

"Oh right. Amy. Amy…Lawless."

"Is that right? Let's see…oh a new entry eh? Sub basement two hundred and eight is where your round is set to take place. I can take you there after I register the others hear if you want."

Astra saw James look uneasy before she shrugged." Just prove its worth it cue-ball."

The woman with the wig saw Benito address Astro Boy before she went over to James and cleared her throat." So…you think this bureaucrat really is the guy?"

James re-positioned his glasses before he nodded." His energy…is not quite the same, but it's the same precise frequency."

"Sure it's not like his, ugly cousin or uncle? This guy seems more of a droid then a man."

"Time is not in sync across the Multiverse, and it's the best match we have."

"Whatever…you figure it out while I clean house hear."

She was about to march out till Choso walked up to her. Her half-brother looked uneasy before uttering," Careful As…Amy…there are shadows lurking in every corner hear."

"Hey Choso if you were too afraid to come you could have stayed behind."

"Nonsense…I'll do what I can to help my family to the end. I'd feel safer at your side than anywhere else at this point. It's just, I feel bloodlust in all directions, be ready."

"Oh yah, what about him?"

Astra pointed to someone coming out of the hallway. The person was a short, portly man in his mid-sixties. He had a large nose, and his receding curly white hair that framed the sides of his face. He was dressed in a lab attire, and as Astro-Boy hugged the old man Astra shrugged.

Choso paused before he sighed." No…not him…though his complete lack of bloodlust makes him a lamb in a den of beasts."

"Heh, well it's a job of an Equalizer to even things out so let's roll."

As she smirked the old man gave Astra a friendly wave." Are you the one that helped my boy? I'm Professor Hiroshi Ochanomizu."

"You're his father?"

Ochanomizu saw Astro wince before he let out a light chuckle." Its not that simple. I'm the Minister of Science of Metro City, following my predecessor and former best friend Umataro Tenma.

Tenma created Astro but, he did not treat the boy right so in essence I'm his father, along with his sister, Zoran. This…this is the most horrible thing I could image my family being involved in, but it seems like we have no choice but to take part in this horrible Cell Olympics. I admit, while I take great pride in being a scientist, all of this has been overwhelming."

James nodded before he offered his hand." You're hardly alone there. We all have to do what we can to not fall victim to our oppressors' game. Maybe we can compare notes on what we know about the situation."

"Sure…but I think we will have to be discreet about it."

"Agreed."

Robotnik and Cortex were both with the group, and the former mad scientist of Mobius eyed Ochanomizu before he nodded." We may come from diffrent worlds sir, but we both seen the value of life, be it from a organic or inorganic source, together are genius will be enough to beat this sick game."

Cortex nodded before he put out his hand." Seriously us exploited scientists have to stick together man!"

Benito suddenly transformed into a car with his face on the front before he declared," Follow me to your match's if you would."

Astra saw the counterpart to her father's former teammate whistle as he rolled down the hall before she rolled her eyes." Not sure if this dude's just got broken or if he was already broken…only one way to find out."

Everyone followed Benito, and while Astra got ready for him to attack, he mostly just talked about all that happened in the Cell Olympics seemly indifferent to the stakes. As they entered a massive arena, Astra could not help but snicker before cutting off Benito with," Look, Benito right? I just want to know something, did you become a suck up before or after the guys hear smashed planets together and all this doomsday crap?"

Benito paused before letting out an uneasy chuckle." Oh, this whole worlds coming together is new myself. I spent most of my life as an assistant to President Funny Valentine in my earth.

But, I long learned that I'm not the one who decides things so it's best to focus on what I can do. As a bureaucrat, and an administrator that's clearing up the red tape so that everything runs more smoothly. That might not bring peace to everyone, but I learned long ago that you have to find your role or you will suffer, everything else, I leave to horoscopes."

"Piff…sounds like someone to afraid to make any choice on there own.."

"Well if you want to try and fight for your own fate go right ahead and see where that gets you, because we are at the arena."

Astra saw a wide round battle arena before she shrugged." With how much they were all bragging about this being the ultimate everything ever you think he would not be so cheap."

Before anyone could respond a raspy male voice cut in with," It's a matter of practically dear, no point investing in decor that's going to be bloodied and broken every match eh?"

Astra swerved around and saw the voice came from a goblin like creature in a suit and a top hat before she moaned out," We already have one lame ass aide we don't need another."

"Don't misunderstand we are not the same class of servant yes Milady? Jubilant day! I have found your vile self at last! Sceleritas Fel. Your loyal and ever-adoring butler and referee for this match."

Astra looked at Fel with disgust before spitting back," I never asked for no butler and like hell I want some freak like you creeping over my shoulder."

"You did not have to ask Milady, I sensed such a dark urge from you, that I knew you were the one I should consort. Your bloodlust is enough to kill half the planet's souls at best!"

Astra saw Astro Boy, Alita, and some of the others look tense before she narrowed her eyes." Your right that I'm pissed off…I'm pissed off at all the assholes who are treating this like a god damn game! So if you want to get on the list just keep talking."

Fel just laughed as he put up his hands in a calming gesture." I don't come to anger those of the Dark Urge, just to help them realize their best potential. But first, we have a match beforehand eh? The robot boy yes?"

Astro Boy saw his father figure nod before he cleared his throat." I'm ready to do what it takes to defend my family."

"Oh how charming. First we have steel vs wood, for your opponent will be a druid."

Alison entered from the other pathway, and the woman just gave the robot boy a cold look before hissing out," I won't lose to an afront to nature itself."

Astro Boy took to the air before his finger glowed." Back down lady, I don't want to hurt you."

"Don't think I need a child's mercy, even a robot child!"

She smashed the ground with her staff before wood spikes burst out of the ground. Astro Boy vaporized the wood projectiles with beams from his finger before Astra sighed." No time to play nice now kid! You got to do what it takes to protect your family or your going to lose it all!"

Fel suddenly laughed before adding," Ooohh what a splendid journey of self-discovery! The death of the former self is one of the most beautiful murders of all, milady!"

Astra rolled her eyes before barking back," Shut the hell up asshole! I don't mean start killing puppies, just make the hard choices before they are made for you!"

Astro winced, but suddenly a demonic roar was heard before another cold male voice cut in with," No…she's right boy. Its time you are faced with what you are supposed to be, once and for all…Tobio.

Make him wake up…Pluto!"

The wall to the right collapsed, and it quickly became apparent that the source was a giant robot.

Its metallic exterior was jet black in color, with red accents on his cheeks that resemble tribal war paint. His imposing stature was further accentuated by a pair of long, bull-like horns, which stick out of the sides of his head and curve straight upwards.

As the robot named Pluto roared, Benito winced." This is completely unorthodox! You are not the contestant meant to fight now sir!"

The same voice from before then cut in with," This is above your authority administrator. I decided this would be a much more fitting fight. And as the Judge I made this call."

Everyone saw the source of the voice step out into the balcony, revealing a a very striking-looking man. He had black curly hair styled into soft pompadour with a matching goatee. He had a distinct pointed nose, too.

Astro Boy looked horrified before uttering," No…your here to…Doctor Tenma?"

Astra and the others got alarmed as they looked at Astro's foster father, before he sighed." This is Dr. Umataro Tenma.

He is a legendary robotics engineer and a PhD. graduate from Nerima University. Tenma gained widespread fame for developing the Bewusstsein artificial intelligence with his team, me. Later in his career he becomes the Minister Of Science and created Astro, a robotic boy with human emotions and the first robot using the Kokoro AI after the sudden death of his son Tobio Tenma in a car accident.

He, he was often neglectful to his son, despite becoming obsessed with bringing him back as a robot following his tragic death. He was initially kind and happy with Astro, attempting to become the father he never was back when his son was alive.

Unfortunately, as the illusion of having a robot for a son slowly sets in, Tenma became troubled and at times spiteful at his failure at bringing his son back, usually all too happy to get rid of what he considers a symbol of his failure as a scientist.

He blamed Astro for not being the son he wanted, and sold him to a circus till I found him."

Astra widened her eyes as she suddenly realized she had a lot more in common with Astro than she expected, till she gave Tenma a hateful look." Someone who sees there child as just a tool eh? I know what that feels like…and sounds like this asshole needs his ass kicked!"

Tenma just looked at Astro with impatience." To the man who created you out of nothing,you would show this level of disrespect? There is no time to play childish games any more Tobio, you must embrace your destiny or you will perish with the rest of the trash!"

"Doctor Tenma…even for you this is horrible! How can you be a part of this?"

"Because I will see the future boy, not be chained down by the past! You, you will be what you were supposed to be boy, even if Pluto has to awaken that in you with his one million horsepower! When a being such as you initializes, robots of similar caliber the world over can sense it. Do it now Pluto!"

The horned robot glowed, before he jabbed Astro with his horns, and while the boy robot caught the strike, red energy went into Astro, causing him to yell in pain. Tenma laughed at this before hissing out," Yes, I just installed Gesicht's memory into Astro so he can truley wake up from this false life you created! I loaded him with Gesicht's painful last moments.

Primal. Like anger, sorrow, hatred... Upheaval will sweep aside the chaos of the billions of personas within him to come out as your true self, my son! If I can bring you back to life by doing this, I'll gladly become the devil myself.

Tell me, what if the final thought etched into that dying memory was full of intense hatred?

Tell me, if you know yourself. Does the hatred you feel inside ever truly disappear? Or does it become a part of you no matter how many times you may struggle to wipe it away? No…hatred and sorrow never leave once they're in you. Hence their power. One may think they have burned themselves out, but the embers never truly grow cold.

My hatred for the existence that denied me my family will never fade, and I'll never stop till I have it back! Pluto was once the robot meant to terraform the Earth, but I rearranged the " Bora Project." to terraform my son instead! With a strong enough AI,a robot can lie to others. It can even tell a convincing lie to itself. Your delusion is proof of my genius Tobio, and you surpassing even Hyper Perfect Cell will show who the true ultimate genius is!"

Astro Boy's eyes glowed red before he calmly uttered," I see now, Well, Gesicht, I guess it's time. I've said all of my goodbyes, even if people didn't know that's what I was doing. think it's about to begin. There's something I have to do. Thank you, and goodbye."

Pluto prepared to impale Astro, only for his target to glow, and suddenly grasp the other horn and rip it off. As Pluto yelled in pain Astro glared at his enemy." I am going to destroy you for those you harmed! You may be full of borrowed hatred from your father...but the hatred inside of me goes infinitely deeper."

The horned robot roared and grasped Astro with his giant fist. He instantly tried to crush the boy, but Astro showed off his unrestrained power as he kicked Pluto's finger the other way, and then from inside twisted Pluto's left arm so hard that it was ripped off.

The giant robot stepped back and tried to entangle his target with his other horn, only for Astro to grasp it while yelling out," I seen it now, all the memories of the ones you killed! Mont Blanc was gentle. He was a friend of nature. He tried to protect the forests of Switzerland. He didn't want to die. He never wanted to return to the battlefield. He was finding such solace in music! He didn't want to die either. But he did. Because of you."

"That's right." Pluto growled out." Yes, that's right. I scrapped them like they were nothing! Because they were nothing!"

"How dare you! Brando had so much to give! He adored his family. He just wanted a future with them. He and Hercules were rivals, but they were friends too! In a way, they understood each other better than anyone else! And I know that neither of them... ..neither of them wanted to die like that! It wasn't fair!

Epsilon hated fighting so much that he refused to go to war. People despised him. One of the most powerful beings on Earth, and all he wanted to do was care for orphans! I know Epsilon didn't wanna die! The last of them I carry within me is Gesicht. His love and his hatred too! I'll make you feel their hatred so this ends at last!"

He prepared to punch Pluto in the chest to try and shatter him, only for the chest to suddenly slide open, and unleash a wave of purple energy that froze Astro. More wires came out of Pluto to bind the smaller robot before Tenma looked manic as he grasped his fist tightly." Foolish boy, nothing comes from hatred, except for more hatred. And are combined hatred will be felt across all universe's, to the point where we will have a place among all the worthy among the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation!"

Zero saw Astro's pain as he was slowly getting sucked into Pluto before he grit his teeth and took out his Z-Saber. "Damn it, this is way too close to how Doctor Wily tried to corrupt me!"

Axl winced as he nodded." Yah…I was the giant lunk of a robot at the time and it looks even worst from the outside! No one should have to go through that again!"

The two Maverick Hunters ran up before Tenma snickered." Don't interfere in what was not meant for you."

Zero charged up his Z-Buster before barking back," To bad despite what you think everything's not part of your damn script doc! You damn Maverick your, GUAH!"

He, Axl, and Doom Man were about to jump up to attack before the ground below them suddenly glowed, and the three inorganic hero's felt their bodies get heavy before they fell to the ground as they realized a magnet was below them.

As they all struggled to move a new voice uttered," You may not be part of his script, but you are part of mine! Yes, to think I would be able to find a replacement at this stage…that works just fine for me."

Everyone saw someone else walk up besides Tenma. He had glowing red eyes with black sclerae; and red hair. Said hair strand on his forehead also pointed upwards as he had ed eyes with black sclerae, but with the addition of a monocle-like device covering his right eye.

He wore spiked boots and white robes with the IV & C logo. Underneath, his body was completely dark with glowing red lines running along it.

Axl looked at the man and raised an eyebrow." Are we supposed to know you?"

Zero widened his eyes before he uttered," Wait…he looks younger, but his face does have things in common with Doctor Wily!"

"Close…but that's Master Albert to you Maverick. So…this is what Iris was talking about in her report. I'm glad I could see the data for myself. My inferior counterpart in your universe might not have been able to handle you but I'm not nearly as limited as him. Yes, I don't think I'm a god... I AM a god! The universe that you lived in itself is defective and will soon be fixed.

Before a new world can be made, the Multiverse must be reset. The destiny of destruction cannot be changed! Now…you samples will what helps me finish my ascension. Right Doctor Desty Nova, Professor Gerald Robotnik, Dr. Myuu?"

Sonic, Shadow, and the others in their group had prepared to charge from the other side before something caught them to. Shadow saw a man that looked like a thinner older Robonik walk up to Albert before he winced at seeing the IV&C logo on his shirt." No...professor...that's you?"

Gerald folded his arms before smirking." I'm glad I can finish what I started to. Shadow...no matter what version from what universe you are your still my ultimate life form. Yes...you will help me get revenge on those ungrateful humans, who took everything away from me, to make them feel my loss and despair!"

Another scientist with blue skin and a visor over his eyes, Dr. Myuu, snickered."I can't tell which is more enjoyable, my brilliant mind or the sweet smell of victory!"

Astra saw Master Albert, Gerald, Tenma, and two other scientists helping them both look ecstatic before her own aura flared up." Think you got it all worked out. I'm all to happy to show you how wrong you are!"

As she had her aura flare up Scleritas Fel let out a deranged chuckle." You really want to waste time on worthless heroics now child? Kill them while they are distracted…and victory will be yours."

"You think I want to win like that? I don't need to cut corners to beat your damn game!"

"You say that because " hero's" have made you doubt your true nature…but deep down you yearn for the sordid scandal deep down do you not?"

"Stop acting like you know me you prick…I may get pissed off but I never want the wrong people to suffer because of my anger. That's who I am. These docs think they figured it all out…but they did not plan for me!"

In a flash she appeared above Pluto, and prepared to slice him in half before a pillar of energy suddenly erupted as a totem-esque tower of grotesque, cursed spirit-like faces that are all merged together burst out to tackle Astra, before a spike at once went into her gut.

As she was smashed into the ceiling and felt her body being numb a detached voice threw in," They may not Astra…but I do…and that's why you are now where you always were supposed to be. You are my spawn. Your veins course with my unholy blood. Now...your soul is mine. Accept your destiny to be the prime incarnation of murder or I will reclaim it!"

Astra felt rage consume her as Geto casually burst out of Scleritas Fel, and floated out of the puddle of blood.

The Equalizer saw the man who had been trying to mold her life for years now had a devil wing and a few other new features and yelled out as James at once got his energy bow." That's the curse user who had…a hand in Astra's upbringing? I can tell at a glance that his heart's as dark as it comes."

"GETO!" Astra yelled out as she struggled to overpower all the cursed objects that had slammed into her." I knew something was off when I did not see your ghost back then!"

Geto snickered before he shrugged." Your senses are as sharp as every child. You nearly froze me to death, but my brain warped out thanks to the precaution I took. Thankfully the Infinite Victory and Conquest Corporation realized I had even more value than Muzan and gave me a chance, and I been proving them right."

Choso glared at the man that was his father before hissing out," Damn you Kenjaku! You can't slither out of your fate forever!"

"Tsc, your no longer useful or interesting to me Choso so you might not want to remind me you exist too much."

The half sibling to Astra spat back, I don't care if this feeling qualifies as interesting to you but I have a vague desire to kill you. You sure are a hated man."

"The dregs of the Enji have been filling your thoughts to confuse you but you're merely the expendable front line so don't be overzealous. It's time for everything I worked for…to pay off.

It's amusing seeing relics like Tenma, Nova, Gerald, Dr. Myuu, and Albert hear fixate on robot dolls. In the end for all the things they can do the word robot means " slave", a inferior. It takes some effort without a doubt to create such things…but true genius is not just creating a soldier, but creating a god! And I did, controlling each step of the process to ensure true perfection."

"SHUT UP!" Astra yelled out as her rage shattered the tower of demonic souls that had tried to empower her. More demons tackled her from all sides as she tried to slash Geto." You don't even know what game you're playing anymore Geto! You're the damn puppet now."

"Your mistaken, I know precisely what Sieg V-Day Elgan is trying to do. He's collapsing the Multiverse as we know it, to create something new beyond the script of " God". All the souls in existence will go under a Uzumaki like distillation process. I wonder what form that would take. I confess I feel like a toddler with a crayon…and a blank sheet of paper."

James winced before his own energy flared up." What do you want out of all of this? What is in it for you? You want godhood to torment those around you like so many of the others."

"Heh…well that would help but honestly…it all just sounds like the most fun option. But I won't know…whatever or not it is…until its done. What if that conglomeration of universes end up looking like a funny face? Would that not be hilarious? "

James was about to respond before Choso yelled out," We…OUR LIVES ARE NOT JOKES FOR YOU TO LAUGH AT!"

He immediately launched his Piercing Blood projectile straight at his father's face. But Kenjaku not only avoided the blood beam by ducking underneath it, but he sent a cursed spirit to crawl up the stream in one smooth counter-movement.

Choso whips his Piercing Blood to the side to slash apart the cursed spirit while tearing up the ground around his opponent. Kenjaku casually rode through the air atop the debris and threw one of the broken stones at Choso.

His son dodged it before yelling out," Don't mock me! Supernova!"

He unleashed his blood based projectile to erase the stone and the demons behind it, but

Kenjaku uses the aforementioned exchange as a diversion to close the distance. He grabbed Choso's defending arm and parried it away before landing a strong left hook to the Death Painting Womb's face.

Choso was sent back from the hit but he left compressed blood behind to blast Kenjaku with the Supernova attack. Kenjaku used another cursed spirit to defend himself and remained completely unharmed, practically bored of the fight.

But before he could counter, he saw a barrage of energy arrows come his way and casually had a barrier come up. He saw James try and overwhelm him before the Enji Master yelled out," You tormented Astra since she was born from your sick desires…what did you want her to be?"

"Perfection." Geto calmly replied." She's the eye of the storm of the new age. She will finish what her father would not."

He raised his hand, only for Tanjiro, Kaine,Crash, Shiki, and Raymond to charge at him from all sides. The Demon Slayer grasped his blade before yelling out," You won't hurt Miss Astra anymore! Now Nezuko! Sun Halo Dragon Head Dance!"

As he preformed his fire sword attack his sister yelled out," Take him down brother!" Before having her sibling's sword become abaze with pink flames.

At the same time Raymond yelled out," I'm sick of you making the Equalizers look bad Geto! Get lost, Abyssal Gate!"

Shiki ran up as the crew member of Eden Zero yelled out," She's far more of are family then she will ever be with you creep! Super Ultimate Magimech Attack: Black Sky!"

At the same time Kaine had her own blades glow before she shouted out," I'm sick of you treating woman like dolls asshole!"

Crash also attempted a Tornado Spin attack, but was held in place by Geto's magic.

The stitch faced man saw the blade users all slash at him before he unleashed a wave of energy to blast everyone back before he declared," Your views are noted...but in the end the weak don't decide anything. All you can do is die."

Astra saw her comrades were in danger and yelled as she tried to resist the numbness she was feeling and unleashed an another surge of power before yelling out," The only thing I'm finishing is your sorry excuse for a life! Enough…this time I'll make sure you die asshole!

Meidō Zangetsuha!"

She hurled the black hole crescent wave at the man she hated like no other…and Geto winced before he put up his hands before his energy flare up. His eyes looked fill to the prim with madness as he hissed back," Nice try…but you think I would not be prepared! Even a black hole is at its core related to gravity!

Anti-Gravity Cursed Spirit Manipulation - Maximum Technique: Uzumaki!"

Astra was shocked to see her black hole attack shatter, before seeing a dark sphere come for her. She slashed it in half, only to be shocked as a second smaller one hit her in the gut, blasting a hole in her. As she coughed up blood Geto laughed as he grasped his chest tightly." That might have worked…if not for the fact that you were born partly from my blood.

That's why, I could activates a counter curse through Reversal using positive energy as opposed to Lapse activating it with cursed energy. This pours positive energy from reverse cursed technique into a cursed technique to produce the opposite effect of its usual activation.

This time you won't escape through another outburst. But, I admit back in Infinite Palace I got carried away with the drama over the results. I won't make that mistake again. No more games…let's cut to the chase.

Maximum: Uzumaki…Soul Merger!"

The man with stitches on his face had his aura flare out before he formed a purple energy sphere in his hand. Everyone in the room started to moan before Geto looked ecstatic." You resisted pointless against your destiny Astra, but at this point it does not matter if your heart is aligned with the darkness or not.

While previously, Cursed Spirit Manipulation - Maximum Technique: Uzumaki combines cursed spirits the curse manipulator has absorbed into one, and in turn, Cursed Spirit Manipulation allows me to control curses he exorcises I took in, but now, I evolved past that limitation. In other words, it does not matter if your soul is cursed or not, I will absorb you and take your powers all the same!"

Tenma winced as a curse vine grasped his face." Damn you Kenjaku! You would betray your own allies, GUH!"

His face was stabbed, and it was revealed to be robotic underneath before his former ally snickered as he saw the other scientists in the room scream in pain." Allies? There is no allies…only the chain of command and your all too afraid to even send your real bodies here. There is only power, and I will prove my power by the end of the night!"

Alison screamed out as she felt pain and tried to have wooden spears impale the cursed demons around her, only for more to sprout out. She glared at Kenjaku with raw hatred." Damn you! I'm not just a pawn to be thrown away!" "Sadly the reality is you are! The weak don't have any rights…but to be pieces to be played by their superiors. That, is your reality."

A demon vine was about to try and blast her into the sphere, till suddenly a bolt of red lighting came down and vaporized it. Geto raised his eyebrow, and saw a bolt of crimson lighting come for him as well before he deflected it, and heard a new voice say," Alas, its not up to you to decide who is the pawn and the king either."

Geto saw that the one who attacked him was Xehamaru, still disguised as Paradox. As everyone looked in confusion, Geto snickered as he saw Benito hiding in the corner." You really want to make a fuss about rules? Lord Frieza and Cell both only care about the strongest contestants coming out on top, that's just what I'm doing."

"Oh you may be right…but if that's all they care about then you don't deserve to make it either…your just a rat who has no self-awareness about not being as clever or as original as you think you are. Your about to get rid of the wrong pieces for the wrong reasons, I cannot allow that."

"Oh…so you made a bet and don't want to be denied? Sorry but I don't care for the whims of foolish bureaucrats you, GUH!"

He was about to attack the new arrival, when a snake suddenly burst out of the ground and bit him, causing Xehamaru to smirk." Neither do I."

Geto just laughed as his eyes glowed." Not bad…but if you think mere poison can take down what I become then you're so very mistaken. Still, it's clear you're not who you say you are either Mister Paradox. I sense, traces of Muzan in you, and I want answers.

Kuchisake-Onna, Binding Vow!"

The stich faced made a gesture before a demon came out next to him, one that had the appearance of a tall woman with long, disheveled black hair that reaches past her shoulders.

Most of her face was obscured by her hair, but several eyes appeared within the strands of hair as she got excited. Her entire face was also wrapped in bandages as well as her hands. Her hands became scissors and she screamed before snipping her transformed limbs…before everyone could see Xehamaru for who he really was.

This caused various shocked expressions across the room before Astra spat out," Damn it…he must be drugging me good I know I killed that creep!"

Xehamaru snickered bitterly before retorting with a dry," Oh you did…but I already proved that it was not enough to stop me and that did not change!"

James widened his eyes before uttering," What…is this a Xehamaru from another universe? Mike told me you died breaking Max out of the IV & C 's control!"

"I just said death is not enough to stop me Elrond…just like it apparently is not enough to stop you! Lets just say there was enough followers of darkness left that loathed those who dare act like the masters of all worked to make sure the Shadow Game was not over yet."

"What...you mean Kira? Unless."

"Now then " Master Elrond" now's not really the time to play the guessing game eh? As much as I relish seeing how inferior your mastery of magic is to mine do you want to live past today or not?"

"You seriously think we will ever trust you?"

Before he could get a answer Alison recovered before looking at Xehamaru and widened her eyes." What? Xehamaru…I saw you die!"

The dark lord could only chuckle bitterly before replying with," Funny, I could say the same. But seems it's a big Multiverse eh? At least, I know you knew another me from where you are."

Geto saw the look Xehamaru had before he snickered." So…you are the one who's cells Muzan merged with? Fascinating…if I knew it would lead to this I would have taken over."

"And I would have taken you over as easily as I did to him."

"Don't get too proud of yourself relic. You're not seriously going to defy me just because a woman you once knew is in my way? And I thought you were a faithful servant of the dark side."

"I am…far more then you will ever be. If you're just using the dark side for mindless power you're hardly any better than monkeys like Brad Fowltror. I seek the true reformation, sinners like you who merely indulge in your own desires are who I always wanted to destroy."

"You think your devotion makes you stronger? That's a laugh…power is power…and get in my way and you will be part of my power!"

He snapped his fingers before a man-eating hookworm-like curse with sharp teeth burst out of the ground to try and devour his new opponent. Xehamaru merely sneered before snapping his figures," Come guardian!"

A snake head burst out of the ground to grasp the hookworm before Xehamaru narrowed his eyes." Now Diabound…make him submit! "

The rest of his demonic body guard burst out of the ground before Geto looked amused." Cute…but outdated. Slay… Akuro-o Otake!

As Diabond charged at him…a demon burst out of the ground in front of Geto, a large humanoid cursed spirit with four eyes, three horns on its head, and a dark nose. It had what appeared to be long unkempt hair and a bushy mustache beneath its nose. Akuro-o Otake also wielded a large axe in its hands, an ax that it swiftly used to cleave Diabond in half.

As the opposing demon came his way Xehamaru extended his cape." Think its that easy? Nightmare Raid!"

The caped man unleashed a storm of bats that plowed into Akuro-o Otake. Geto saw his summoned aide scream in pain before he saw some bats come at him, and with a wave of his hand cause them to freeze before he snickered out," Your antics may upset children but you're a relic of the times. You forsaken your edge for the sake of things such as foolish, GUH!"

In an instant a extended blade cut through the bats, and while Geto swerved out of the way at the last second he still had his head cut hard enough for the stitches on his face to be sliced off, and his brain to be exposed.

Suddenly Xehamaru burst at him and had snakes come out of his sleeves to bind Geto's limbs as he smashed his target to the ground and hissed out," Oh I assure you my thirst for blood has not wavered at the least! I'm just not an unrefined savage like you who just lashes out at anything you can sink your teeth in! You play the shadow game quiet well…but I am still the master of the art of the dark side! But I just might let you learn a few things…after I revive your soul as my servant!"

Geto coughed up blood before his own eyes glowed." Heh…I can't deny you clinging to the stage after all this time proves your stubbornness. But that's the thing…you may have mastered your stage, but I seen the darkness across the Multiverse, and your mastery of the dark side means nothing compared to what I become!

Domain Expansion…Tower of Babel!"

Geto's aura erupted before fire burst out in all directions. The walls became golden, before splitting open to reveal

Xehamaru at once got on guard as he hissed out," Whatever demon you unleash I'll open his heart to the darkness all the same. Demonic Guard of Heaven and, GUH!"

While the sliver haired man tried a counter spell, demons came out from all directions as a large Eastern dragon-like demon bit his legs as, multiple red centipede-like demons burst out of the sudden pillars of flame to bite his arms and a giant curse with an elephant's head, a humanlike body with four arms, and a light complexion with It bore long and sharp ears resembling horns, a crownlike protrusion further back on its head (colored yellow), slanted eyes with red irises and dark sclerae, two short tusks, a trunk curled back and to the right, as well as two astroid-shaped marks of black color: one on his forehead (akin to a third eye) and the other on its distended stomach grasped Xehamaru's head.

As even more demons dog piled their master's target Geto laughed as he saw Xehamaru struggle despite being stabbed all over." What I seen across the Negaverse makes the dark magic you know look like nothing. Face it Xehamaru, you're the past, and I'm the future that reached the Tower of Babel and grasped its glory!"

Astra struggled herself as she struggled to pull out the spike that was jamming her demon energy as she staggered up and hissed out," Oh you're going to be history alright Geto. No matter how many spells you learned across the Multiverse…you still don't know a damn thing about what counts! Your just, GUH!"

Geto fired a blast of lighting at Astra before he formed a purple sphere in his hand once more." Oh, it's you who refuse to learn Astra. Thy dormant power of Bel makes thee worthy of the throne, yet thou must control the one who created you has the burden of making them see the truth, even if the only way you will learn is for us to become one! So I will make you see what you are once and for all as the true devil molds destiny to his,"

He was cut off by a loud belch before a crude voice cut in with," Man, you really will go on all day if no one kicks your ass eh Geto? I don't think that's how being a parent works…but if that's the rules you're playing by…then it's sure as hell not you who decides that about Astra…it's me!"

Geto blinked and was about to blast the source of the voice, but froze as he turned to the right. He saw it was a man casually drinking cheep beer and walking up like he was casually going to the bathroom before he then saw the man's eyes and froze. His jaw dropped as he uttered," What…is this a trick? No…it's impossible…you can't be here!"

The man smashed the now empty beer can on his forehead so hard that he shattered it before he spat on the ground." Man you must be more wasted then me if you forgot I can do whatever the hell I want!"

A flood of demons came at the man from all directions, but their target cracked his neck, and had his eyes glow before his aura flared out and emitted such intensity that they were all vaporized in a instant.

Astra saw who the new arrival was and her eyes widened." Wait…seriously…after all this time your just hear now?"

Xehamaru coughed up blood as the demons on him were vaporized to and just looked at the man with the beard and the cowboy hat before he blinked in confusion." Is this one of the other guests? That aura, it, it nearly reminds me of Master Zannacross but…if he was just a bum!"

James saw the sudden new arrival casually walk up before his eyes widened." Wait…that…that's you Doug? Oh god."

Doug blinked a bit before he was looking at his former teammate and raised a eyebrow." Man, guess I'm more drunk than I thought…thought you were dead James. Wait, this more Multiverse crap? God damn it."

"No…it is me Doug. I revived myself to help Mike, and your daughter."

Doug blinked a bit, saw Astra looking shocked, before he snickered." Well...guess your all alive so guess you still know a few things."

Xehamaru had his eyes widen before he muttered," Wait…you're really Auro's side kick? You really took on the essence of Zannacross into you?"

The bearded man looked at the former head of Sithantos before he shrugged." Who wants to know? If you're some lame ass fanatic you crashed the wrong party."

Xehamaru eyed Doug carefully before hissing out," You dare forget me? I'm Xehamaru, the true master of the darkness you unworthy side, GRAH!"

Doug eyed Xehamaru, then flicked his wrist, unleashing a shockwave that smashed the pale man through a wall before he rolled his eyes." Do I look like a sidekick to you now!? You remind me of one of the many tools who were a pain in the ass for me but all you jackasses and your speech's just mixed together to me after a while. And screw what you think is worthy, I acted to get what I wanted, that' s the only worth that's ever mattered!

Now, I can stop your ass out if you keep this up but I came here because I felt something familiar that was pissing me off. Astra, what the hell are you doing hear?"

Astra saw her father looked amused before she remembered the last time she saw her father before she nearly let her rage consume her." I'm here because are entire universe is wrecked thanks to Sieg and getting the job done hear is the only way to stop it! You, you really just left are entire universe after last time?"

"Hey girl, I won't deny I had a chance to see some new places and took it. Was fun, had a few drinks. But this asshole and his annoying as hell Infinite whatever is making it hard to get good grub anywhere so they are making me do something about it."

"You…you joined the Multiverse Rebel Alliance?"

"Hell no! Just got some guys and gals like me across the Multiverse who won't let no prick control us together to shut this down. I was seeing just how lame this whole party was when I felt something I felt before, and with a little Instant Transmission boom, here we are. Got to admit, thought you were being a punk before but you gotten strong enough to impress your old man."

Astra saw Doug looked sincere before she grasped her hand tight enough for blood to come out." You…you…you think you can just say that now? GO TO HELL! You…did you know what Geto did to me? Did, did you know Geto, or Kenjaku or whatever he called himself at the time make me this Demi-Fiend with the Mazoku genes just to troll Ben or something? IS MY LIFE A JOKE TO YOU OR NOT!?"

Doug winced at seeing how bitter his child looked before he looked down." Astra…I'm not going to lie to you…there was a long period of my life where I was more or less on auto pilot. After Aqua…I was not going to give a damn about what chick I hooked up with and was just going through the motions. Living life from impulse to impulse felt better than wasting time on any plans. The truth is that you were just a whim Astra, there was no big plan, I just felt like having another kid.

But at the same time…you were never meant to be raised as a god damn harbinger of Armageddon or whatever crap this hat swapping asshole has been ranting about. I was sure as hell not going to make any of my kids finish what I started. I just wanted you to be strong enough to be free, and not be weighed down by all the things that drag someone down.

Most of the reason I stayed away Astra, is because I did not want anyone targeting you. I did not think Ben had got so fed up that he would target my kin yet, but there was always some asshole suck up who wanted to look good. Of course, in the end, seems the true suck up was hiding in my shadow, right Geto? I had a lot going on but I think it's time we had a long overdue talk about you going behind my back!"

With each step Doug took, the ground shook, before Geto saw the fire coming out of Doug's eyes before he gulped." D…Master you misunderstand my intent thanks to your enemies lies! Everything I did…is to serve you to see about domination, slaughter, mountains of corpses with you standing on top of them!"

"That why you're working for the pricks who I hate more than anyone?"

"That was only to best know how to undermine them!"

"That's what Higgs was doing…and I still don't know what trying to take Astra's soul had to do with any of that!"

"Please…I know you been distracted so I always served in your shadow to see your ultimate goals realized. That's the whole point of her right? You, you knew what I wanted as Noritoshi!"

"I don't care if you want to be a woman half the time, but I do expect people who don't want to waste my time to be honest. And you were just trying to hijack my cause to be some sort of God, and I made it damn clear what I thought of people who want to be gods that try and give "order"."

"But its what you wanted! Because of what I put in motion the Bethal Kingdom you loath is in ruins, Ben Auro and his family are all but dead and you are at the verge of everything you ever wanted! All I learned across the Multiverse was to know enough realize the dark side's true ultimate, GUH!"

In a instant Doug smacked Geto so hard that he burst around the arena like a pinball for several seconds before slamming to the ground hard enough to leave a creater.

Geto coughed up blood before Doug spat at him." Was the answer how to hurt my kid? Because that's the only answer I got you cock sucker! I wanted to break " bro", but not kill him. How was he going to say I was right if he's dead idiot?

You think I gave a damn about how many bugs you could throw out of your ass man? The more a man rants about knowing the real truth the clearer it is how much of a dumbass he is! I seen a lot since my roadtrip, and those who think they know it all are the ones that get trolled. Even Zannacross despite being" God" knew jack in the end when a " nobody" like me took his job!

Guys like you mock the honest man who makes sense of the world around him as acts of the " gods" he makes up but that's keeping it as real as it gets to me! Because that's a man who shapes what's real by what he feels, that's more important then some " Truths" that change the moment something new is found out!

I'll take a man's real experinces over a smug rat's " facts" any time and the only truth is that your a moron who thought finding out a few more things changed anything!

You conned yourself on what role you had, but the reason I kept you around is because of your drinks and you made me laugh. So tell me, learn any jokes since before? You have to the count of ten to make me laugh. MAKE ME LAUGH DAMN IT!"

Geto realized his back was to the wall before he winced." Wait…I…I think I know something. I, I did not tell you the about the tale of Momotarō yet right? Just, just keep an open mind."

"Depends on how, the hell?"

Demons poured out from all directions from across the Multiverse, from Vastio Lord Hollows, to Ten Tailed Beasts, to giant " invader" bug monsters to " Level 4 Akumas' to various Omega Weapons, to varaitions Appetite Demons, to a couple Saiyan's in there Great Ape states infused with demonic energy, and more.

They all tried to tackle and maul Doug as Kenjaku had his aura flare out and he yelled out," ITS ABOUT THE UNGREATFUL FOOL WHO WAS TOO UNFOCUSED TO GET THE JOB DONE SO HIS FOLLOWER FINISHED WHAT HE STARTED! You may be the devil but I have the darkness of countless universe's now and, GUH!"

To his horror Doug unleashed an explosion of energy that was like a milllion energy infused kicks at once that erased all the demons instantly before he grasped his former follower right by his brain before Kenjaku could react.

Doug lifted the other man above him before he grit his teeth." That sure was one lame ass joke, hanging out with these assholes killed your sense of humor and that was why I put up with your weird crap!

I don't care if billions of cowards get in my way, I'll kick the ass of entire universe's worth of sell outs to fight for what's mine! Kenjaku…I'm not like Zannacross and all of those assholes, what I want is true freedom. You kept trying to push me back to the old way of doing things, but some jobs aren't for saving, and some legacies are for pissing on. I am free. Whatever I do, whatever I choose, I do it out of my own free will. If someone is willing to take my freedom, I won't hesitate to take theirs. And so Geto…your never deciding the path my family is on again!

Haikai...Shoryuken!"

Kenjaku saw Doug's eyes glow before he yelled out," No, it can't be like, RAHHH!"

Doug fired his Omega Beams into his hand...before he punched Geto right into his former follower's brain with energy full of the the essence of Destruction.

Astra saw the one who helped create her give out one last fanatical scream before every atom of his body was erased from existence. She saw Doug look amused before she winced." He…he really did it."

Choso looked shocked as he uttered," I...never thought father would die like that...but its what he deserved."

Doug rubbed his head before uttering," Wait...don't tell me I had another kid!"

Astra rolled her eyes before spitting back," Choso is Geto's kid one way or another, and that makes him my half brother."

As Doug shrugged...Xehamaru was recovering and being greatful his attacker was madder at someone else then him. At the moment Crowly and Castle at last caught up to there unlikely cohort before Crowly rolled his eyes." Damn it mate I told you this would end badly!"

"It…it's not how you expected." Xehamaru uttered bitterly." Fitter…he..he really does have the essence of Master Zannacross coursing through him, the power of the god of darkness. Those eyes…those are the same eyes."

Crowly looked at the man that in theory was his boss before he winced." Oh hell…he…he's here? How?"

Castile saw Astra and James, before he widened his eyes." They…they made it hear? Oh god….this was not part of the plan."

Doug chuckled bitterly as he eyed the angel keenly." Plans are for assholes who don't have the instincts to keep up with the pace."

James took a deep breath before he steeled himself." Well then Doug…did you come here on a whim…or did you have a plan?"

Doug gave a bitter look at the other former member of Squad 7 before he flashed a wild half-lopped smirk." Not a plan James…a yearning. I'm here to crash this party and close the gap with these Six-Dimensional Assholes."

Astra widened her eyes before muttering," D…damn it you found a way to reach the power Sieg and the others have?"

"Not yet, but I have a hunch about how to equalize things. Astra…I know I sucked as a father but it's time for some quality family ass kicking as we flip the table on this lame ass script! Before this is over, whatever this prick with bro's face on really is, he's going to be like all the others who thought they were better than me! So come on Astra...lets catch up...by burning this whole joke of a party and all the assholes hosting it to the ground!"
