"Ugh…" A soft groan is heard as green eyes open to a dark ceiling. "So dark…"
"Oh Faris! You're finally awake!"
Faris turns to the voice of her Exceed companion. "Touka?" She tries to lift herself but hisses at the painful throb emanating from the side of her head. When she touches the spot, she feels the bandages wrapped around her head. "What the?"
"Don't move so much! You took a pretty nasty fall and hit your head with the coffee table. I just finished patching you up." Touka explained.
"What happened?" Faris asks.
Touka shakes her head. "I wish I knew. One moment everything was fine, then the next everything turned for the worse. Then you slipped and hit your head and the lights went out. Afterwards, I tried finding something to stop the bleeding and found this small box full of medical supplies."
"I see…" Faris nods, her memories are a bit hazy but she can vaguely recall what happened. "There was also something else… a swift in space like we traveled through the [Aqua Aera]."
"Yeah. We were likely taken to another dimension, but I'm not sure where." Touka confirmed.
Faris slowly pushes herself up and treads towards the door, but quickly stops. There's something… dark beyond that door. Corrupting. Evil.
"You sensed it, right? Something's gone horribly wrong…" An anxious Touka said.
Faris clenches her fists and takes a step forward.
"Wait!? What are you doing!? Why are you still approaching the door? We don't know what is out there!" Touka exclaims. "Let's just stay here and wait until someone rescues us."
For a moment, Faris considered it. That is until she senses a presence and turns to see something slowly creeping up behind Touka.
"Behind you!"
Touka turns and sees a pink monster rising from behind her. "Eek!"
Without thinking, Faris rushes to Touka and grabs her before leaping back just as the monster slams its whip-like arms hard on the floor, smashing them.
"We gotta get out of here!" Faris rushes to the door and quickly begins to pull but it won't budge.
"Hurry Faris!" Touka yells before turning back to see the monster staring at them with its round, unblinking red eyes.
"Aaargh!" Faris uses all of her magic to boost her strength and manages to open the door halfway.
The two jump out just as the monster lunges at them before the door closes again and a loud bang is heard as they see the doors frame bends forwards.
Faris quickly checks on Touka. "Are you okay!?"
Touka smiles and nods.
The two look to see the hallway festered with the same pink slime that had just attacked them, but this seems inactive.
"What happened?" Touka murmurs as she looks around.
Faris looks at the slime sliding down a hole in the wall and gags.
The two Elentearians thread carefully as they walk through the infected path.
"Whatever this stuff is, it shouldn't exist." Touka feels her fur standing on its ends as she keeps walking. "It's evil. Pure evil."
"I know… the magic here is making me dizzy." Faris comments.
They then soon run into a giant spike protruding from the wall with the pink stuff encroaching on it.
"Is that where the pink stuff is coming from?" Faris wonders.
"I don't know, and I don't want to find out." A scared Touka says and the two quickly move on.
As the two continue down their path down the hallway, their discomfort only grows until they catch a glimpse of something truly disturbing.
Patrolling the corridors are a hoard of those pink-like monsters they saw in their room earlier. The two immediately move out of sight so as to avoid getting caught.
"This place is crawling with those things." Touka whispered in terror. "They all emanate the same energy as the stuff on the walls."
"Let's just stay out of sight from them as we try to find a way out of here." Faris suggests and they hide in a small gap between the walls.
They watch the monsters march towards the right corridor and when they are out of sight, the duo quickly run the opposite direction.
However, one of the monsters freezes in place as it turns its neck a full 360 degrees, and it sees their shadows!
The monster lets out an inhuman scream and that catches the attention of the rest of the group.
Faris and Touka feel shivers running down their spines as the sound enters their eardrums.
"W-What was that!?" Touka stammered.
They both turn around in horror to see the creatures are now actively pursuing them.
"RUN!" Faris screams and the two run away from the pursuing hoard.
The duo keep running across the corridors, but their luck eventually runs out when they reach a dead end and are surrounded by the approaching hoard of pink creatures.
"Please, no! I don't wanna die like this!" Touka cries while holding onto an equally scared and trembling Faris.
"Please, anyone! If you can hear me, please help us!" Faris screams, praying for a miracle as the pink creatures get closer.
The monsters raise their club-like arms, ready to strike down the duo, only for it and the surrounding creatures to be consumed by an inferno of blue and black flames.
The two are shocked by the sight before the fire disperses and two unfamiliar women step forward wearing horn-like accessories.
"See sis? I told you there were others here!" Luso happily exclaims to her sister. "And look! They're so cute!"
"Whatever. I'm just happy we're out of that cell." Ennie says in disdain.
"Oh don't be such a grouch. Besides, I wasn't the one hogging the TV all the time." Luso teased.
"S-Shut up!" Ennie yelled, clearly flustered.
"Who… who are you!?" The sisters turn their attention to the white-haired girl.
"Oh! Well, I'm Luso!" She then points to her sister. "And this prude is my twin sister Ennie!"
"I am NOT prude!" Ennie yelled.
"Yeah, yeah." Luso gives her a dismissive wave. "This is why you don't have a boyfriend."
"Shut up!"
"U-Um…" Touka stammers.
"Hey, hey, it's okay." Luso gently pats the Exceed. "Everything's gonna be okay."
"Not for long if we stay here." Ennie points out and extends her hand at the duo. "Come with us if you want to live."
Faris slowly reaches out and grabs Ennie's hand. "Thank you…"
"Yes. Thank you so much for saving us from those monsters!" Touka says out of gratitude.
Ennie rolls her eyes "Whatever."
*ROAR!*
"C'mon let's go!" Ennie pulls Faris' hand and the four run as fast as they can.
Meanwhile
"Ngh…" I slowly open my eyes only to quickly shut them from the blinding light. "Too bright." I try to raise my arms but find that I can't. "Huh?" I try raising all four of my limbs but they're stuck. "What the fuck!?"
"Oh good you're awake." A refined female voice enters my ears.
The lights turn off and I open my eyes only to see the visage of a familiar woman walking towards me.
"Hello, darling. It is so good to finally meet you face to face." Towa smiles.

Thoughts about you: Wants to have hardcore wild sex with you 24/7
"You're… Towa." I try to break my binds but find that I can't. "I feel so weak… what did you do to me!?"
"Don't worry handsome, it's a simple concoction I made to keep you inhibited while also disrupting your powers. It is the same that we used to kidnap our dolls, though I made some modifications just for you~" Towa coos as she caresses my face. "Though I'm surprised you can still speak coherently like this. You are a far better specimen of a man than I thought."
[She's right, I'm having a hard time detoxifying you. Whatever formula she used, it's bypassing all your natural defenses]
"What is this? Your torture room?" I spat.
"Hm, more like my laboratory. Although I like to call it 'Our Love Nest'~." Towa purrs.
Suddenly, the lights turn on revealing a wide area with large tile floors and metallic walls, chemistry tables with unknown fluids in them, computer systems all around, and what look like empty stasis pods to hold Towa's test subjects.
[Satan's Soul beats this place by a million miles]
"Where are my friends?" I demanded.
Towa snaps her fingers and multiple screens light up showing everyone lined up and bound to the walls, each of them wearing collars around their necks.
The only exceptions are Cell, Diana, Chun-Li, Xeno Goku and Vegeta, and Androids 18 and 21, who are being kept inside metal coffins suspended in the air.
"Your pets are safe… for now." Towa said, putting emphasis on the word. "Rustyrose wants them alive for the reconstruction procedure, though in my opinion, they're too troublesome to keep alive. But as always, that fool thinks with his dick instead of his brain."
Something doesn't add up. "Why are you working for a degenerate like Rustyrose? You realize that the second this is over, he'll turn on you."
"Ara? Are you worried that he'll defile me, darling? You are truly kind." She gives me a quick peck on the lips. "But don't worry. I have everything under control."
"Eh?"
Towa's smirk is full of mischief. "Come now, do you really think I would lower myself to work under such a disgusting mongrel? He is just a means to an end, that's all."
"How did you two even meet?" I asked.
"Oh that? It was by chance, or perhaps fate would be more accurate." Towa states.
Flashback
A rift appears and Towa is seen hurling out of it and finds herself in a vast forest. Injured and exhausted, but very full of life.
"After escaping my imprisonment, I was stuck in the dimensional gap for who knows how long. Normally, traversing through it is child's play, but in my weakened state at the time, I couldn't muster any protection and so was swept in by the tides of entropy. Eventually, I was spat out to this uncharted universe where that midget and her Time patrollers haven't been to so I was safe, but also trapped."
Towa stands up and begins to walk through the empty path.
"However, it didn't take me long to run into him."
As Towa traverses the path, she bumps into someone wearing a ragged cloak. Irritated, she sharply turns and points her staff at the person only to see the old bandages riddling his body, his missing right arm while his left gripped tightly on something, and his burned face.
"He was in a sorry state. It was a miracle that he was even standing, let alone walking. But that's when I sensed a powerful source of energy and saw the rock that he was clutching so tightly." Towa states. "With that stone in my possession, I could not only return to my full strength but get my revenge on the gods. The only thing I had to do was pry from his cold dead hands. Unfortunately, I could not do that at the time, so instead I decided to earn his trust." Towa explains. "For a human, he was bright. His research on the gem proved to be a great foundation to my own plan, and shortly after I healed him, we struck a deal and began working on making our ambitions a reality while also getting revenge on those who wronged us."
A fully healed Rustyrose raises the Chaos Emerald and it shines creating a portal which the two of them walk into, starting their journey.
Flashback end
"The story from there is how you likely already surmised. Traveling the multiverse, kidnapping women and turning them into super-powered mindless soldiers." Towa says with a dismissive tone as she tends to her other work.
[There's something odd about her story. Her meeting with Rusty seemed a little too… convenient. Don't you think?]
'Yeah, but that's not all.' I thought. 'Several of the enemies they've thrown at us have had some connection to the [Isekaijin, almost like they knew who they were beforehand and who would be the best counter for them.'
[But Kushina, Hinata, and Wanda aren't connected to any of them, but they were still enough to give them a challenge. We can't cross them out as mere coincidences either. No, something is going on behind the scenes, something foul]
'You think Rusty and Towa are being manipulated?' I asked.
[Or being subtly persuaded to target specific individuals that you and the others have a connection to without being aware of it, kind of like sleeper agents. After all, we don't know what exactly happened whilst they traveled the multiverse. They may have run into something or someone and had their memories erased. All we got was Cell's account of events after he partnered with them]
"You said Rusty's a means to an end, what did you mean by that?" I ask and Towa turns around.
"Exactly what it means. Our desires, for now, are one and the same." Towa said.
I just give her a skeptical look. "Seriously? We both know that's bullshit. You wouldn't team up with a human unless you-" But I was interrupted by a blue finger in my lips.
"Shush now. You shouldn't ruin the surprise so soon. But I am happy you saw through my deception so easily. Now I know that you're perfect for me, darling~" Towa purrs with visible lust in her eyes.
[Looks like this isn't the harmonious partnership Rusty thinks it is, assuming he didn't somehow foresee it and have something prepared for Towa as well]
"Still, I'm surprised you would entertain Rusty's twisted preferences by altering females into super-soldier sex dolls, as you seem more practical than that. I thought you preferred the company of your own creations." I asked.
"After what that bastard Mira did to me, he can burn in hell. And while it would be easier to create my own warriors, I will humor that human fool for the time being." Towa admitted in a venomous tone before returning to her prior demeanor. "Besides, it's not like I haven't achieved impressive results with the altered females. If you thought the ones your friends fought were tough, you'll be surprised when you see the best ones." Towa says with pride.
She then presses a button on the computer bank and the floor next to me splits as two large vats rise from below; one green and one blue.
"Meet my two masterpieces, the likes of which the multiverse has ever seen, far surpassing my Mira!" Towa's grin widens. "Of course, I can't take all of the credit. It's thanks to your group's combat data that this was even possible."
I squint my eyes at the silhouettes floating inside. "Who's in there?"
"Spoilers~" Towa smiles.
[You are not River Song]
"They're almost ready, all they need now is energy."
"[Chaos Energy, right?" I surmised.
"Indeed." She places a hand on one of the vats. "However, I found that using its negative variant yields better results. Still, I needed the remaining six to bring them to their full potential, so I orchestrated events in order to make that a reality."
"So you attacked all three worlds to split us up, to isolate us?" I said.
"Because I had to. I realize that together, you and your group humans are a force to be reckoned with as much as I hate to admit it. But separately, you are all manageable enough to predict." A scowl then appears on her beautiful face. "The arrival of the Saiyans was an unexpected variable. Thanks to them, I had to modify my plan, and I hate doing that."
"But how does Kid Buu fit into all of this?" I asked. "Not only was he reincarnated as a human, but absorbing that much [Chaos Energy] would run the risk of him running amok. How are you keeping him under control?"
"Oh, he is not the same Majin that was controlled by that fool Babidi." Towa began. "As for your question, I merely cultivated a single cell I found on Earth and extrapolated it until it was fully matured. Then it was a simple matter of programming that single nucleus to obey my commands."
Flashback
Towa stabs her staff into the floors of the engine room. From the buried tip, a familiar pink begins to pour out of it and starts digging its way downwards.
The roof of Cerebro broke off and Buu jumped into the center of the apparatus. Immediately, it started assimilating the core, absorbing its power and quickly spreading its "limbs" all over the room before spreading throughout the entire base.
When Towa arrives in her lab, she sees what her creation had found through the microscopic cameras in its cells and can't help but smile with dark glee at the discovery.
"My Buu took full control of your ship. It was only a matter of commanding it to bring it here, with you all along for the ride."
Flashback end
I can't help but grit my teeth in frustration at hearing that answer. Despite all the training we did and all the precautions I tried to take, these assholes STILL somehow came out on top. And now everyone, especially my girls, are likely slated to become Rusty's next victims.
All of them put their trust in me, my friends, my girls, and I let them all down.
'I really fucked up bad.'
"I hate seeing you so sad, darling. Luckily, I know just the thing to cheer you up~" Towa walks up to me with a sway before doing something unexpected.
She grabs my clothes-
*RIP~*
And completely rips them off!
"The fuck!?"
[Well, this escalated quickly]
"Ara, to think you had such a monster hidden from me. I can't wait for it to break me~"
Lemon Start
Towa hops on the table and caresses my chiseled abs before lovingly moving her hands towards my crotch and grabs my dick. She starts jerking me off with one hand while playing with my nipples with the other.
"How do my fingers feel darling? Amazing? No surprise really since female demons are built for lust in mind." She whispers huskily before biting on my other nipple.
"Ugh… stop!" I moaned out.
Towa giggles, a thin line of saliva drips from her mouth and onto my nipple.
"Why would I? Your little friend seems to be enjoying himself." She uses her finger to dig in and peel the foreskin revealing the glans that it was hiding. "Now let's get the party started~"
She starts massaging the glans with her soft and small fingers as she kisses my neck and makes her way downwards.
I bite back a moan at the incredible softness I'm feeling from below. God, it was like there were tiny mouths sucking the shaft without stopping.
Towa finally reaches her goal and starts licking the shaft with her hot tongue while massaging my balls with her hands. The sweaty taste of his cock mixed in with his pre-cum made even her head spin as she bobbed her head up and down. It was addicting, it was exhilarating. She wanted more, but while the leaky faucet of pre-cum was tasty, it still wasn't enough, so she had to change tactics.
Deeming her dress/catsuit useless, she snaps her fingers and it vanishes from her body, revealing an exotic hourglass figure, tender yet supple hips, toned stomach and an impressive I-cup breasts.
"Um…" Even I couldn't deny the fact that Towa was incredibly sexy.
Towa licks her lips as she wedges my cock between her impressive melons. "Oooh, I can feel it pulsing, so warm…" she squeezes her tits together and starts moving them up and down, effectively trapping my long shaft in a prison of softness.
I held back a gasp when I felt the impossible softness surrounding my cock, it was better than her fingers.
More pre-cum leaks heavily as Towa wraps her lips around the head before taking the whole of his cock into her mouth without issue. She bobs her head up and down, the tip easily reaching down her throat before pulling back and then pushing it in again in a perpetual loop. The tightening sensation surrounding his length was addicting.
I bit my lower lip as the arousal was too much. I was close, so very close from release but I didn't want to give the bitch her satisfaction. So, I tried to hold the urge to cum for as long as possible.
Towa can see him fighting the urge not to cum and soon smiles. 'How cute, but there are more ways to make a man cum.' Her hand sliders through his pants and puts two fingers in his asshole.
"AAAHHH!" I scream as I feel the sudden intrusion below. "What the fuck are you doing!?"
Towa ignores him and continues playing with his ass, causing him to spasm as he tries to break free.
However, the stimulation was enough to lose focus, giving Towa a thick dose of cum, shooting straight down her throat.
Towa happily drinks it, it is so rich, creamy and warm. She could drink it for hours. 'He really is the one…'
I look down as Towa pulls her back, showing off her cum-filled mouth to me before giving it a thick swallow.
She smirks, her face covered with stains of cum and lust. "Thank you for the meal~"
My face, however, showed the polar opposite: hatred for what she just did to me. "You bitch!"
"You were denying me my meal, so like any starving animal, I fought for it. And besides," she leans closer to my face. "I know you loved it."
"Fuck you."
"That's what I'm counting on~" She purrs as she grabs my hardened length and guides it to her wet entrance. "Uhh…" She moans as she slowly pushes my cock into her tight entrance until she pushes herself up and slams down completely on my cock. "Oh fuck!" She bites down on her lip as her body buzzes with sensations she hasn't felt in centuries, almost overwhelming her more logical side.
"Shit!" I gasp at how tight and warm Towa's tunnel is. I can feel her walls choking my length as it gripped me in a hot, wet vice. 'I don't know how long I can stand it!'
[I'm working as fast as I can!]
Towa keeps her hands on my stomach as she moves her hips, slamming herself up and down on my cock. Her large blue breasts jiggle with every motion, giving me a front-row of her alluring hard nipples, alluring me to just bite on them as she rides me like a horse.
I can see a bulge forming in her stomach every time her hips move, our bodies coming together with loud slapping of wet flesh on flesh echoes the lab.
She pants through her mouth, tongue hanging out loosely like a dog in heat as her honeypot swallows my cocks again and again. "Ahh! Oh fuck! Your dick is so good!" Towa moans with each slam of her hips, sweat pouring down on her body from the intense workout before grabbing my face and quickly kisses me.
The kiss was passionate and lewd, her tongue fighting against mine for dominance, sucking on my lips with vacuum-like force as her hands wandered, grabbing onto both of mine as she began to really ride me and pick up speed.
The [Sex God] perk grants me infinite stamina and unparalleled sexual prowess, along with amplifying pleasure into the ultimate sexual experience. It's why Towa is so wild and ferocious, because she is experiencing the greatest pleasure she's ever felt in her life.
Towa growls into my mouth, her grip on my hands tightening as slams harder onto my length. She can feel my cock growing bigger as she goes even faster.
"Ahh! Your dick is digging in so deep! It feels so GOOD! Ah! I knew you were the one for me! I'm so… Ah…looking forward to our future together, darling~" Towa managed to say in between moans while increasing the pace, having trouble even forming coherent thoughts due to the overwhelming pleasure she's experiencing.
Even incubi weren't THIS good!
'Damn it, I shouldn't be enjoying this! I need to get away from this bitch now!' I thought, trying to muster the strength to break free from my restraints even while dealing with the pleasure of the female demon riding me, but to no avail.
Soon, Towa was reaching her limit.
"Darling, I'm cumming!" Towa breathed out, hugging her captive tight as she climaxed.
"Shit!" I was also climaxing, filling her demon womb white with spunk.
+100 Affection from Towa (100/100)
Lemon end
Towa rises up, her mouth panting like a wild animal. "That… was wonderful. I haven't had that much stimulation in centuries." She lovingly touches my cheek. "You certainly reignited something within me."
"Can't say the feeling's mutual." I sneered with bated anger.
Towa mewls as she slowly pushes herself off my still hard cock and gets off the metal bed, a stream of cum falls on the metal floor.
"Oh darling, you really filled me up. Don't worry, once this is all over and my plans come to fruition, I'll make sure to make you a very happy man in our future together~" Towa purrs as she walks towards a nearby table and grabs a black fluorescent vial. "But first, we must evolve you into something more fitting of your new status."
"My new status?"
"Why yes. You're new status as [Dark King]. After all, every queen needs a king. And I absolutely refuse for my husband to be weaker than me!" She takes an injector and places the vial inside, locking it into place. "But considering your potential, you may even exceed the likes of a god and become something beyond all. Beyond anything the multiverse has ever known!"
"You're making a mistake here. Giving me more power will only be your undoing!" I warned her.
"Perhaps, but I'm sure you'll see things my way soon." Towa walks towards him with the injector in hand and watches her future husband/test subject struggle to free himself. "Be still now. I do not want to hit something vital by mistake." She grabs my head and turns it to the side then takes the injector against my neck and pulls the trigger.
"No!" I feel something enter as she pushes the dark substance into my body. My pupils contract and the sclera turns red. It's hot, my veins are on fire as they bulge and become visible across my body.
Towa watches with a wide smile as his body starts to exude a black aura, an evil and oppressive presence that can destroy any and all forms of life the moment they are in contact with him. "Yes…"
"Ugh." Lamy moans as she slowly opens her eyes. "What happened?"
"Looks like you're awake." A familiar voice registers in her mind and the rabbit demon eyes snap open.
Lamy turns and sees Seilah bound to the wall in energy cuffs, and it isn't just her either as all of the Etherious and humans are all bound as well.
"As for your question, we have been tricked. Led into a false sense of victory." Seliah calmly responds with a bit of an edge.
"We all were. I'm ashamed that I didn't even see it coming." Torafuzar adds.
"You're not the only one." Gajeel growls.
"It was all part of Rustyrose's plan: to spread our forces thin and fight his dolls, exhausting us so that we couldn't offer any resistance." Larcade states.
"He played us for fools." Fried said.
"And now we're doomed to be that human's pets." Tempester hissed.
"I don't see Chisato, Shizuka, or Lady Avalon anywhere. I hope they're okay." Laki prayed.
"For now, we should think of a way to escape." Kyôka suggested.
"That will not be easy, our host made sure of that." Bloodman notes, trying to turn into his mist form but fails.
"Our bindings are suppressing our powers. We can't break free unless someone shuts them down." August states.
"We'll find a way, and even if we don't, I have faith in Asmodeus-sama that he will come to rescue us!" Lamy says, only for Tempester to scoff.
"That fool is likely dead, seeing as he isn't bound like the rest of us. This is what we get for relying upon that pathetic abomination." Tempester spat, only to be cut off by the dark aura emanating from everyone. Seilah, Lamy, and even Kyôka release their KI while Torafuzar, Larcade, and even Bloodman scowl at him.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Tempester?! Asmodeus-sama has been nothing but generous and supportive to all of us!" Lamy yelled. "He revived you, he rebuilt our old guild building into a mighty palace, helped us acquire strength and forms of power beyond our wildest dreams that we didn't even know about, and gave us a chance to pursue a higher purpose and our own dreams instead of blindly seeking out Zeref-sama to kill him." Lamy rants, fed up with his attitude towards their master despite everything he has done for them.
"Lamy is correct, Tempester. You have always had issues, but this is not the time or place for it, especially after everything Asmodeus-sama has done for us." Torafuzar glares at the former Demon Gate.
"And you would be wise not to speak ill of Asmodeus-sama in my presence, Tempester. He is not just our master, but in my case my husband as well." Seilah darkly replies, not permitting anyone to speak badly of her master/husband.
"Yeah!" The rest of the harem agreed.
"Fools! You're all nothing but fools!" Tempester yelled. "He's not a human, dragon or even a demon! He is an abomination, a creature that should not exist!"
"So!? Why should that matter!? He helped us! He brought you back from the dead!" Mirajane argued.
"I refuse to be damned to eternal subordination towards that THING!" Tempester screamed.
"Hey! Asmodeus is not a thing! Take that back right now!" Natsu yelled.
"Or what boy? You may have Curse Power, but you are not one of us. You are nothing but a pretender who thinks that he is a true demon." Tempester leans in with an angry scowl on his face. "I will kill him, then I'll kill you all and show this universe the power of a true demon."
"You're insane." Erza spat out. "Is destruction all you can think of?"
"Destruction is the role of a demon, it is our reason for everything." Tempester began. "Asmodeus may have corrupted the Etherious with his power but I will not fall. I see him for what he is and will do whatever it takes to see him destroyed!"
"This is ridiculous, Tempester! Has your memory degraded so much that you forgot where your strength comes from!?" Torafuzar yelled, uncharacteristically annoyed by the constant denial.
"Yeah! What the fuck is your problem, man!?" Gray demands.
"Asmodeus has given us so much. He breathed new life into us, trained us, and I even got to finally experience what it meant to have a family." Larcade says while scowling. "I refuse to let anyone take that away from me, especially you."
"While I may not have necessarily chosen Asmodeus-sama as my master, he has ultimately earned my respect and loyalty through his strength, resourcefulness, and determination even in the face of grim odds that could spell death. And even if that wasn't the case, as Torafuzar said, this is not the time or place for this." Bloodman said, annoyed at his fellow Etherious.
"Clearly I need to ask Asmodeus-sama for permission to discipline you after this is over, you fool." Kyôka growled.
"Forget discipline. Let's just kill him!" An angry Lamy chimes in.
"I second that." Seilah adds.
"I triple that." Ur chimed.
"We can save that for when this is over. As Kyôka said, we should focus on finding a way to escape." Laxus says, causing everyone to reluctantly drop their annoyance at Tempester. "If we can't do this on our own, we should try coordinating with the others in our escape attempt. Given all the individuals we were working with, I'm sure we can come up with a way to escape."
"Too bad none of you will get the chance." A familiar voice arrogantly states. "You all are my guests, and should behave with dignity or else."
Rustyrose then appears, grabbing the attention of everyone, or at least a hologram of him did.
Immediately, the atmosphere becomes oppressive as everyone glares at the man with deep-seated disgust and anger.
"Rustyrose, you bastard! You won't get away with this! Where the hell is Asmodeus-kun?" Mirajane roared as she glared hatefully at him.
Rusty, however, merely smiles. "Now, now, Mira-san, you shouldn't talk that way to your future lord and master, I'll need to work on removing that defiance out of you and the other girls later." Rustyrose replies, causing every female present to glare at him even harder. "As for your question, my partner Towa is undoubtedly dissecting him as we speak. She wanted to study him due to being interested in replicating his capabilities, and I obliged."
Everyone's eyes widened at the proclamation.
"Y-You… YOUUUUU!" Cana roars as she exerts her magic only to suddenly feel nauseated and drained.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, my dear. That apparatus is made to drain you of your life force if you get too rowdy. So I would suggest you conserve as much as possible, it would be a hassle to revive you." Rusty said. "As for the rest of you, I haven't really decided yet. Maybe I'll turn you all into mindless drones, guinea pigs for new experiments, or just recycle you all for spare parts."
"You fiend! Does morality mean nothing to you!? To go around playing with human lives is sickening!" Makarov yelled.
"You call it sickening, I call it breathtaking." Rusty counters. "I am on the verge of reaching heights no human in our universe has ever seen. I will transcend all limitations and reshape this universe and the multiverse into one Master Hades will be proud of!"
"At the cost of everyone's souls!?" Erza yelled.
"Everyone will still have their souls, lovely Erza. My will would simply be ingrained in all of them to ensure they recognize their God." Rustyrose smugly replies. "All of you will soon adhere to my will and will obey without question and never even realize it. I could do something like order you and your mother Irene to join my bed and both of you will obey without a second thought, thinking it's of your own volition."
Irene and Erza looked enraged, horrified, and even nauseous simultaneously at hearing his proclamation.
"Just when I think you can't get any worse, you find new ways to prove me wrong every time you open your mouth! I don't think I've ever hated anyone as much as you in my entire life!" Irene growled.
"You are an embarrassment to all men!" Elfman yells.
"I will rip your fucking nuts off." Lisanna growled.
"I will make sure you beg me to rip them off." Laki sneers.
"I will bury you in a tsunami of sand." Max adds.
"I will petrify you and shatter you to a million pieces." Evergreen swore.
"I'll turn you into swiss cheese." Bisca said.
"Juvia will drown you until your lungs explode." Juvia said.
"I will age you to dust, you son of a bitch!" Ultear swears.
"I'll make sure to freeze your dick off and make you eat it before using Zeref's [Black Arts] to make you experience hell!" Ur yells.
"I'll shrink you down to an ant and crush you with my bare hands!" Brandish says.
"You will experience the true wrath of demons when I get my hands on you." Seilah growls.
"I'll be sure to make you beg as I try out the various skills and abilities I got from Asmodeus-kun." Mirajane says.
"I will throw you into a black hole!" Lucy said.
"I will rip out your vocal cords so that you can't terrorize anyone with your annoying voice." Levy darkly adds.
'Damn…' Gajeel blushes at his fiancee's darker side. 'And there's the boner.'
"Don't come near us." Wendy glares at him.
"Go die in a ditch freak." Carla hissed.
"I will turn you inside out and make you vomit your own skin." Brandish said.
"I will poison you and make you impotent." Kinana sneers.
Rusty listens to their threats and lets out a mirthless chuckle. "Cute. I will certainly miss that Fairy Tail spirit." He then vanishes and reappears before the bound [Isekaijin] beauties. "Now you ladies… you ladies got my interest."
"Fuck you." Yoko spat out while she and Yuko glared at him.
"Soon, darling, there is no rush." Rusty smirks.
"Gross." Konomi gags.
He then turns to the Demon Lords and the Heavenly Virtue. "The embodiments of humanity's greatest sins and virtues." He licks his lips as he stares at their inhuman curves. "Hm… if I wasn't a projection, I would take you three right now."
"Dream on, you lecherous pig!" Mammon hissed.
"A pathetic tick like you can never hope to compare to a Demon Lord." Belial spat.
"Divine punishment awaits those who indulge in such despicable behavior." Sariel warns.
The projection chuckles and now stands before the floating coffins containing the strongest fighters of the group.
"I take it you are all comfortable in your new abodes?" Rusty snidely asks.
"Oh, you bet I am, little man. And I'll show you my gratitude by SMASHING MY FISTS INTO YOUR FACE AND BREAK YOUR SKULL!" Xeno Vegeta raged.
"You know, I can see why Asmodeus and his group hate you so much. You're just rotten to the core." Xeno Goku said with a clear edge in his tone.
"We all have something we want. I'm just one of the few that's willing to go the extra mile to get it." Rusty states.
"You're a monster." Chun-Li said in disgust, finding him even WORSE than M. Bison.
"Current circumstances aside, I'm glad that Asmodeus summoned all of us. Not just because we got to meet an amazing man who would become our husband in the process, but also because it likely kept us out of your reach and gave us a chance to punish you for your atrocities. The fact that you took several of our friends only strengthens my belief that you would have gone after all of us if Asmodeus hadn't summoned us." Diana says in a resolute tone while glaring at Rustyrose.
"It's convenient that you mention that. While I was searching the multiverse for the greatest beauties of all time to become my tools, I did manage to find a few. But for some reason, the best of them all were missing across various timelines and universes. And despite the fact that there should have been countless versions of Wonder Woman throughout the multiverse, I couldn't find even a SINGLE one and now I see why. Asmodeus had unintentionally kept you and your comrades out of my reach. Thankfully, that annoying thorn isn't here to protect you and the other girls this time." Rustyrose reveals to the surprise of Diana and the others, realizing that Asmodeus had unknowingly saved all of them from becoming Rustyrose's victims.
"Yes, at this point, we're ALL familiar with your disgusting interests and fetishes alongside your madness and thirst for power. But if you think we will allow you to succeed after everything you've done, then you're a bigger fool than I gave you credit for." Cell spat.
"Don't bet on it, Cell. I've come too far to fail now, especially since Asmodeus isn't here to stop me." Rusty boasts before looking at Xeno Goku and Vegeta. "I've heard much about you two from Towa and how you're supposed to be great and powerful warriors. I would prefer to make you my pawns, but Towa informed me that you two have demonstrated some history of resisting mind control through sheer will and pride alone. Perhaps your wives, Chi-Chi and Bulma, will suffice?" Rusty mockingly said, causing the demeanor of the two Saiyans to darken considerably.
"I take it back, you're BEYOND rotten to the core! To think you would do such horrible things without hesitation is disgusting!" Xeno Goku says in an enraged voice.
"Like hell you are gonna touch our wives, you wretched bastard!" Xeno Vegeta yells.
"Then maybe I'll go after your daughter and Goku's granddaughter. I believe their names were Bulla and Pan, yes?" Rusty smirks.
Xeno Vegeta's rage boils over and turns [Super Saiyan 4]. "YOU SICK FUCK!" But immediately, the coffin lights and quickly siphons Vegeta's energy, reverting him back to normal. "Shit…!"
Xeno Goku glares at Rusty. "Stay the hell away from them!"
Rusty mockingly laughs in response before looking at 18 and 21. "You two are looking as beautiful as ever, though it disappoints me that you would choose to side with Asmodeus over your master."
"You're NOT our master, you son of a bitch! You're just a power-hungry monster and a sexual predator who tortured and brainwashed us and countless other women to be your precious 'dolls'!" 18 roars.
"Even if we had tried to run away, you likely would have pursued us anyway. At least with Asmodeus, we got a chance to become strong enough to stop your mad plan, save the other females who are your victims, and ultimately punish you for all that you did!" 21 says in anger.
"You can try, but even if you could escape, you'll have to go through my improved dolls." Rusty declares before a hologram of Meredy and four other cloaked females suddenly appear in front of everyone.
"Meredy!" Ultear and Jellal yell simultaneously in horror.
"Why don't you four ladies remove your cloaks? I imagine Fairy Tail in particular will be shocked." Rusty tauntingly informs them, causing them to comply and remove their cloaks, causing a collection of gasps to erupt from the Fairy Tail mages.
It was Yukino, Kagura, Minerva, and Jenny. But just by looking at them you can see that they have been heavily altered and brainwashed based on their blank faces and their feminine assets are curvier and sexier than before, not to mention bigger, with Yukino and Kagura now having J-cup breasts while Minerva and Jenny now have K-cup breasts.
"Yukino!" Lucy cries in horror at the state of her fellow Celestial Spirit Mage and close friend.
"Kagura! Minerva!" Erza yells in a similar manner, being horrified at what that bastard had done to her friends.
"Jenny!" Mira says in shock, surprised to see her fellow model and friend here.
"They are the latest batch. Using all of the data I obtained from all of your battles, I was able to perfect the Bodily and Magic Core modification process. Now my dolls are true goddesses in physical form." Rusty states.
"I already was unable to ever forgive you for what you did to me and the innocent children in my class, but I think Irene-san said it best in stating that just when we think you can't get any worse, you keep finding new ways to prove us wrong." Anna angrily says while glaring at the projection.
"Every time I see a new innocent woman become another one of your victims, it only makes me more determined to punish you. The fact that you went after close friends of my daughter and her guildmates only makes this more personal." Layla states with a burning hatred present in her eyes.
"If you hate me now, then you'll certainly hate me for this." He snaps his fingers and one more person makes their appearance.
"No…" Layla whispers in horror.
"No, no, no, no. You bastard… YOU SICK BASTARD!" Brandish screams as tears roll off her face.
"Ladies and gentlemen. I would like to present to you all the new and improved Grammi μ." Rusty gestures in a curtsy yet snide manner.
"Grammi… μ? That's Brandish's mother!" Lucy exclaims.
"You revived Brandi's mother just to spite her?! Is there truly no line you won't cross or any act of spite you won't commit?!" Dimaria says in disgust.
"No. And I am just getting started." Rusty says with a straight face.
Brandish was freaking out. "I'll kill you… I SWEAR I'LL FIND YOU AND FUCKING KILL YOU, RUSTYROSE!"
"I am truly ashamed at how far you have fallen or the fact that I made the mistake of taking you on as my disciple." August said while shaking his head. "I see now why Irene was so angry at me when we reunited. I too am outraged at what you have become."
"What's there to be ashamed or outraged about? I was your greatest success, considering I will reshape this entire multiverse as I see fit, August-sama." Rusty refutes.
"You won't get away with this, Rustyrose. We WILL stop you." Mercphobia warns, though it only draws a scoff from him.
"I doubt it. Now, as much as I would love to continue this banter, I'm afraid I have a tight schedule to keep. Ascending to godhood is no small feat, after all." Rusty says before the hologram disappears and the brainwashed girls all vanish.
"That bastard! I think I speak for all of us when I say he is the worst person any of us have EVER encountered." Natsu exclaims, a sentiment drawing agreement from everyone.
"What will we do?" Happy asks in fear, the implications of the universal reset causing fear to replace the deep rage and disgust they felt towards Rustyrose.
"I REFUSE to believe Asmodeus-sama won't come to save us!" Brandish proclaims.
"Me neither, but he wouldn't want us to wait too long with such limited time either. So we either need a plan or a miracle to get out of here." Cana replies.
"Then it's a good thing fucking miracles exist then." Everyone hears a voice and they all see a projection of a man wearing a set of blue armor and helmet with a big orange visor.
"Sup, dipshits. The name's Leonard L. Church, and I'm here to raise Hell." The hologram, Church said.
Earlier – Aincrad
*BANG!* *BANG!*
*ROOOOAAAAAR!*
Loud bangs and beast-like roars can be heard coming from the other side of a door.
The view then changes perspective to Chisato and Shizuka, with Shizuka's hand over a lever. They look banged up, their clothes are ripped in places, showing bits of their bras and panties.
"You know the plan, yes? You flip the lever and I'll blast the monsters." Chisato said.
"B-But, Chisato-san-" A scared Shizuka mutters before stopping herself and nods. "Okay…"
Chisato smiles. "Remember. When I say run, run. Ready?"
Shizuka flips the lever and the doors open, and the zombie-like monstrosities quickly flood the room.
"Haa!" Chisato fires a beam of magic and [Ki] at the monsters, eviscerating them. However, this is short-lived as their bodies quickly start to reform.
"RUN!" Chisato and Shizuka immediately make a run for it.
A pink appendage grabs the corner of the door and a pink head peeks out, watching the two females running away.
Pink tentacles spread throughout the walls, floor and roof like parasites as they travel towards their intended target.
Chisato senses something and turns back to see the entire hall seemingly coming to life and lunges at them like a predator.
"Duck!"
The two ladies quickly duck and black flames suddenly burst from thin air and burn the pink sludge.
"EeeAaaaahhhhh!" The pink monster screams as it is engulfed in black flames and turns into ashes.
The two nurses look up to see Asmodeus standing in front of them. At first, they're overjoyed to see him, but then notice his labored breathing, his wounds, and the fact that he is tightly gripping his chest.

"Hey guys. You're not hurt, are you-Hugh!" Asmodeus takes a knee and coughs black blood.
"Asmodeus-kun!" The two ladies quickly rush to his side.
"Hang on, Asmodeus-kun! I'll fix you right up!" Shizuka activates [Salvation] to heal his wounds.
"Don't bother, I'm just a clone. Besides," He lets go of his chest, revealing the large hole growing right in the center. "I'm already too far gone to be saved."
"!?" The two gasp in horror at the sight.
"How… what happened to you?" Shizuka asks in horror.
Flashback
"It was shortly after I found out what the pink slime really was that things went down the shitter." The clone began.
Majin Buu screams at them and the pink slime around them spring to life and quickly snares them. The clone tries to get Lamy out but he is too slow and she is taken away with the clone barely escaping.
"I tried to rescue Lamy but I wasn't quick enough. I fought my way out of Cerebro and made my way upwards. On my way to the control room, I realized that the entire place had been transported to outer space and had to fight more of those pink blob monsters." The clone explains. "As for the hole in my chest…"
The clone fights several of the monsters but is shot from behind by a beam of black energy, punching straight through his chest and screams in pain.
He grits his teeth and activates his [Amaterasu, engulfing everything around him in a sea of black flames to make sure there's nothing left of these freaks of nature.
"... it's the price I paid for underestimating them." He said.
Flashback end
"[Negative Chaos Energy] is something else. It can empower the user but also corrupt them completely. It can also negate other forms of energy that aren't Chaos in origin. And since I'm made of [Dark Matter] and [Aura]..." The clone cuts off, but the ladies understand what he means.
"You're dying." Chisato said.
"Well not dying, more like decay or degradation." The clone clarifies but sees the worried looks on their faces with Shizuka's eyes even tearing up. "Hey, stop that. Even when I disappear, I won't really be gone. My memories and experiences will just transfer back to the boss. So don't cry."
"But still-"
"No more crying, got it?" The clone said earnestly.
Shizuka holds back a sob and nods. "Alright, Asmodeus-kun, but the thought of you being gone isn't easy for us. Clone or not, you're still our husband." She gives him a kiss.
"Here's one from me, too~" Chisato also gives him a kiss.
The clone smiles at this, appreciating the genuine love and devotion from the girls. "Look, let's just take advantage of the time I have left to reunite with others as soon as possible. There is strength in numbers, after all, and if we're lucky, we'll find the boss and/or most of the others."
"Alright, Asmodeus-kun. We'll support you as best we can. We're not powerless or helpless in a fight, either." Chisato replies, confident in her strength. She was already a powerful goddess even before becoming an [Isekaijin] and the training she did in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber merely reaffirmed this fact.
Shizuka was no slouch either in martial arts or using [Ki] and [Aura, even if she largely still preferred being a nurse/healer. Asmodeus had invested more time in her because unlike everyone, Shizuka was a civilian. A strong and incredibly intelligent civilian, but a civilian nonetheless. He saw potential in her to get stronger. He wanted her to serve as his organization's doctor alongside Chisato and Yuko moving forward, so she would need to at least be able to defend herself.
Chisato helps the clone stand up and the three make their way down the path and straight to an elevator.
"We need to get to [Satan's Soul]. There is something there that will help us." The clone opens his [Inventory] and pulls out his [Sonic Screwdriver]. "I never got to use this since I got it. Better late than never." He points the screwdriver at the panel and turns it on, causing it to make a buzzing-like noise.
*Rooaar!*
Chisato and Shizuka whip their heads back at the distant but very familiar bellow behind them.
"Um, Asmodeus-kun? I don't want to rush you but could you please hurry up!?" Chisato squeaked.
The clone's brows furrowed. "Give me a break. This is my first time using a screwdriver."
Shadows can be seen getting bigger.
"Asmodeus-kun!" Both girls yell at the same time.
A second later a familiar sound is heard and the elevator doors open.
The trio quickly move into the elevator as the doors close behind them.
Asmodeus presses the specific floor button and the elevator starts moving towards its destination.
"We should be able to take a breather for a bit." The clone sighs and leans on the wall. "Man, I'm glad that the elevators still work. I did not want to take the stairs."
"Yeah. Elevators are much better than stairs." Shizuka adds.
"Elevators are much sexier than stairs." Chisato chimed.
"That they are." The clone said with a light chuckle.
*CLANG!*
The elevator stops abruptly with a loud thud, causing everyone to jump in surprise.
"W-What was that!?" Shizuka yelled.
"Me and my big mouth." The clone murmurs and straightens himself.
The elevator starts to rumble ominously, drawing concerns from the three of them. And to their horror, traces of pink goo can be seen coming through the edges.
"Dammit, those bastards are consuming the elevator!" The clone curses, knowing he had to conserve his strength as much as he reasonably can if he wanted to prolong his existence long enough to get Chisato and Shizuka to safety.
"Not if I have anything to say about it! I refuse to be a victim of another mindless horde of monsters!" Shizuka proclaims, the situation causing memories of her experiences of the undead hordes that started to plague her world before her summoning to resurface.
Acting quickly, Shizuka fires a Ki blast at the floor of the elevator, allowing for a decent sized hole to form without completely collapsing the floor.
"Let's jump!" Shizuka says before jumping through the hole, with Chisato and Asmodeus briefly glancing at each other before following Shizuka.
The three descend downwards as the elevator is completely consumed. The clone quickly comes up with a plan and summons the [Claws of Hades]. "Grab onto me! Hurry!"
Without hesitation, Chisato grabs onto the clone's forearm while Shizuka grabs onto Chisato's right ankle.
"Gotta time this right." He stares at all the elevator doors passing by in quick succession. "1… 2… 3!"
The clone stabs the [Claws of Hades] to the wall slowing down his descent until it comes to a halt next to a door.
"Quickly! Open the doors! I don't know how long I can keep this up!" The clone yells with worry, his strength starting to fade.
Chisato raises her hand and uses her magic to rip the elevator doors open. She leaps towards the exit and manages to grab on the edge and climb in.
Shizuka follows suit, reaching forward and grabbing the edge of the door.
"I got you." Chisato grabs Shizuka's arm and pulls her in.
The clone pulls out one of the sickles and throws it inside, its sharp blade stabs itself on the metal floor.
He pulls on the chain to make sure it's secure. "Alright." He pulls out the other blade and he proceeds to swing down stopping right above the entrance.
The clone uses the chain and quickly climbs his way up. Shizuka extends her arm out and the clone grabs it, pulling him up.
"Thank you." The clone smiles before turning his attention to the pink-infested path beyond. "[Satan's Soul] is right down this hall."
"You said there was something in Lamy-senpai's lab that'll help us. But what is it?" Chisato asks.
"It's something that Lamy and the boss have been working on after the whole Viernes fiasco." The clone explains before abruptly stopping confusing the women.
"Asmodeus-kun?" Shizuka says before getting shushed.
"Do you hear that?" The clone asks the women.
The two are confused at first but then they hear the sounds of familiar groaning and see a group of Majin monsters walking in the distance.
However, what attracts the clone's attention is the gray Chaos Emerald in one of their hands.
'If I can get my hands on that emerald… I can stop all of this once and for all!' He raises his hand as he activates his [Psionic Manipulation] to bring the gem to him.
*BA-BUMP!*
"Ugh!" The clone bites back a scream as his body is racked in agonizing pain, the hole in his chest becoming much bigger.
"?" One of the pink monsters senses a disturbance and turns to the side, but finds nothing. It turns its attention back to the rest of the group and marches onward.
The nurses stand rooted in place and sweating profusely as they watch the horde of monsters walking past them, ignoring their presence as they head towards the unknown.
"That was too close." Shizuka whispers.
"Yeah. And did you see that gem one of them was carrying? I believe it is one of the Chaos Emeralds." Chisato states.
*THUD!*
However, their attention soon switches to sight of the clone collapsing on the floor
"Asmodeus-kun!" Shizuka and Chisato kneel before the clone to check his condition. They gently turn his body and gasp in horror as they see the hole in his chest now the size of a basketball.
"Oh my god…" Shizuka whispers in horror.
"He's going into cardiac arrest! We need to heal him now!" Chisato said.
"No! There's no time! The lab is just ahead!" The clone objects.
"But Asmodeus-" "You can't heal me, not with this kind of injury. It's already taking all of my willpower just to stay alive. If you use your magic now, the opposite energy will cause an explosion and kill you." The clone explains.
"Then what do we do!?" An anxious Shizuka cries.
The clone looks at the two with emotion. "... help me up. I can't seem to muster any strength on my legs."
Chisato and Shizuka look at each other before they both slings his arms around their shoulders and help him up.
"Are you sure there isn't anything we can do to heal your wounds, or at least soothe the pain?" Shizuka asks in worry.
The trio continues to head to their destination when they hear footsteps approaching.
"Girls… leave me behind and save yourselves." The clone says, but to his surprise, they both shake their heads in refusal and even glare at him.
"No. You helped us make it this far, Asmodeus-kun, so now it's our turn to help you." Shizuka says, with Chisato nodding in agreement.
The clone blinks and smiles, touched by their resolve. 'Guess the boss was worried for nothing after all.'
However, to their surprise, the footsteps aren't from the Majin. Instead, they're from three familiar girls and their cat.
"YOU!?" Faris, Luso, Ennie, and Touka exclaim in surprise.
"Huh, I have to admit, I wasn't expecting to see you girls here, though for what it's worth, I'm glad you're all okay." The clone says, though Ennie Signario glares at him.
"Like you ACTUALLY care after you locked us up, you bastard!" Ennie yells.
"Okay first off, stop yelling or you'll draw attention to ourselves. Second, I didn't lock you up out of malice. You guys might have been brainwashed by Viernes, but you were willing subordinates of Ignia and too much was at stake with this fight with Rusty, especially when I noticed your piqued interest when I mentioned the Chaos Emeralds. Last thing Earthland needed was another egotistic sociopath getting their hands on a Chaos Emerald. Besides, my intervention saved you guys from the same fate as your guild and even Ignia." The clone defends, before looking at Faris and Touka. "And I took you guys to prevent you from becoming collateral damage in Guiltina."
"What are you talking about?" A mad Ennie demands and the clone sighs.
"They're all dead. Fire and Flame has been wiped out by the same bastards who hijacked my castle." The clone reveals, shocking the sisters.
"Wait… What about Ignia-sama?" A worried Luso asks.
"He was captured and brainwashed, and was set loose on Ishgar. However, Natsu and the other Dragon Slayers manage to break their hold on him." The clone then sighs. "Unfortunately, with Ignia being Ignia, he opted to fight us instead of joining us and paid the ultimate price."
"No…" A horrified Ennie whispered.
Luso falls to her knees in distraught. "Ignia-sama…"
"For what it's worth, Ignia didn't have any regrets. Despite the circumstances, Ignia was content that it was Natsu and I who delivered the final blow. Heck, he even christened Natsu as the new Fire Dragon God in the end. That guy is so unpredictable." The clone chuckles.
The clone eyes the sisters, still in a state of shock, and sighs.
"Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but I'm not gonna apologize for what happened. So, I will give you a choice." The sisters look intensely at the clone like some kind of prophet. "You can join us in our fight to take back this castle. Rustyrose is after my Chaos Emeralds and if he gets his hands on them, then not just Earthland but the entire multiverse will be in danger. He will reshape all of reality to fit his twisted vision with himself as its center and ultimate god. He will turn you both into mindless drones that will either fight for him or warm his bed, many of the women in my group can attest to that." He gives the girls a softer look. "I'm asking you two, not as an enemy or a friend, but as a good man, help me save your world."
Luso looks at this powerful man with slight admiration. How can he ask that to a pair of strangers, especially when at some point they were enemies? She can't really remember the last time anyone was this kind to her, her other guild members were very weird and annoying but she didn't hate them.
"What a load of bull." Luso looks up at her sister sporting a very profound scowl on her face.
"Nee-san…" Luso whispers as Ennie reaches her boiling point.
"You have a lot of nerve to say such things to us. You think your honeyed words will be enough to convince us to join you!? We were the disciples of a GOD! He saw in us something that made us different from all humans! He was going to make us become something more and you took that chance away from us like it didn't even matter." She rants on the verge of crying. "Just what gives you the right to judge us!? What gives you the right to kill our master, to stop our mission!? Just who the hell do you think you are!?"
The clone silently stares at a wheezing Ennia before he finds his voice.
"When we fought Ignia, he did admit frustration to the destruction of his guild and his enslavement, but even after learning that you two were alive when I told him, he said that his guild was ultimately still dead and that he would have proceeded with his plans on his own. To him, Fire & Flame was little more than expendable. It was only a means to an end." He explained.
"You lie! Ignia took us in when no one else batted an eye our way! Just what makes you think that you have any moral high ground here, huh!?" Ennie yelled.
"You're right, I don't. And while I don't know what kind of past you two went through, that doesn't mean I'm not willing to listen." The clone said. "Also, despite what you think, I never wanted Ignia dead, neither did Natsu since they were both sons of the Fire Dragon King, but he left us no choice. He'd rather die as a dragon than work alongside humans."
Luso then stands up. "If we help you… if we join you… will you make us something more than human?"
Ennie's neck turns sharply at her sister, shocked by her words. "Luso!?"
The clone nods. "Yes I can. I have given Fairy Tail access to new powers and abilities, making them stronger than they were when the Alvarez War broke out. Some of the members can even transform into dragons." He states, surprising the sisters.
"D-Dragons!?" Luso stammers in surprise.
The clone gestures to Chisato. "The woman holding up my right arm is Chisato, and she's a LITERAL Goddess from another world, so she can verify my words."
The four girls turn to Chisato who let out a sheepish chuckle.
"Is it true? Are you really a goddess?" Touka asks the nurse.
"Well, yes. Although technically I am an ex-goddess now." Chisato shyly admits. "But he IS telling the truth, as he possesses power FAR exceeding any god I know and has helped me become stronger than ever as well."
The sisters then turn to Shizuka and whimper at their intense stares.
"W-Well, I am not as physically gifted as everyone. B-but I can heal all sorts of injuries no matter how grave they are! I'm also very durable, so I can take all so-sorts of damage." Shizuka states, her face beat red in embarrassment.
"Again, I am not going to apologize for what I've done, Ignia knew the consequences of his choice and chose to stick with them until the very end; feeling sorry for him would just tarnish his memory." The clone bluntly states. "However, know that if you refuse, then you are dooming an incalculable number of people to the whims of a madman who wants to make all women his sex slaves and whatever gross experiments he wants to indulge in."
Ennie now has a concerned look. "He can't be that depraved, right?"
"Oh, you have no idea the lengths that mongrel is willing to go just to have some ass." The clone said cheekily before his tone turned darker. "He'll beat you, experiment on you, alter you, brainwash you, and then finally fuck you. He will make you into a slave, an obedient little puppet for him to play with whenever he wants. He will defile you, turn you inside and out, and you won't be able to do a thing about it. Is that really the life you two want?"
The Signario sisters process this, before Luso turns to her twin.
"I think we should join him, nee-san." She says to Ennie's shock, but Luso raises her hand and continues before she can interrupt. "With Fire & Flame gone and Ignia-sama dead, we're on our own with no support or protection, and we both would rather die than be the sex slaves of some mad power-hungry pervert. This could be our chance for a new and better life, and even if the universe is saved without us helping this guy, we'll likely spend the rest of our lives on the run as dark mages. I won't do this without you, Ennie, but this could be our one and only chance."
Ennie looks down, her hair obscuring her eyes as she grits her teeth in anger. Immediately, her body explodes with magical power with blue flames dancing freely as black markings manifest on her face.
Everyone takes a step back from the intense heat as Ennie's flames melt the walls and floor around her with only Luso being the only one unaffected by the outburst.
Finally, the flames subside and Ennie takes a deep breath.
"Fine, Luso. But that doesn't mean I like it." Ennie gives the clone a sharp and intimidating glare.
The clone, however, is unaffected and gives her a friendly smile. "Awesome. Welcome aboard!"
Ennie just scoffs.
"Um," they all turn to Faris. "I don't mean to interrupt, but where are we? I get the feeling that we didn't run into you three out of coincidence."
"Very perceptive. And you'd be right." The clone pulls out my [Sonic Screwdriver] and points it at the door.
He activates it and the door quickly opens with everyone rushing inside only to find absolute darkness.
"It's so dark." Touka complained.
"Hold on." He points the screwdriver upwards and all of the main lights turn on. He then points back to the door and it closes which is followed by a clicking noise.
"That should keep them out for a while." He said.
The girls look around, marveling at the hyper-advanced technology around them.
"This place is so COOL!" Luso squeals.
"... I guess." Even Ennie admits, albeit reluctantly.
The clone taps on Chisato's shoulder. "It's down there."
The group walks deeper into the lab. As they did, they heard some weird noises.
*munch* *munch* *munch*
"Hey. Do you guys hear that?" Touka asks.
"Hear what?" Luso asks.
*MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH*
"THAT! Do you hear that?"
"Oh yeah!"
"I hear it, too." Ennie said.
"It sounds like someone's eating something." Shizuka points out.
"But who would be here? Is it Lamy-senpai?" Chisato asks.
"No, someone else is here. Stay on your guard." The clone warned them.
The group thread carefully as they follow the noise, slowly getting louder the closer they get. Eventually they spot a shadow behind one of the tables.
"Okay. On my mark…" He whispered. "NOW!"
The group leaps to the other side ready to fight only to freeze at what they found.
It was Lady Avalon on the floor surrounded by empty boxes… eating fish and chips?
"!?" Lady Avalon looks surprised.
"Lady Avalon? What are you doing here?" Chisato asks the white mage.
"Yeah…" The clone's tone is eerily devoid of any emotion. "What are you doing here?"
"Is no one gonna point out that she was eating in the dark?" Ennie chimes.
Lady Avalon starts sweating profusely as she quickly swallows the food in her mouth.
"H-Hi, Master! What brings you to the mess hall?" Lady Avalon nervously asks.
"This is the lab. The Mess Hall is like two floors down." The clone dryly points out. "Anyways, what the hell are you doing here? Matter of fact, how DID you get here?"
Lady Avalon gives the clone a sheepish look.
Flashback
Lady Avalon sneaks away silently and teleports to Earthland to buy something to eat.
"Well, after everything was settled in Elentear, I decided to slip away for a quick snack." Lady Avalon said. "I found this shop where they sold Fish and Chips and I just HAD to try them."
Lady Avalon gets twelve servings of Fish and Chips and then teleports back to the [Aincrad].
"I wanted to find somewhere to eat in peace but I knew my room was a no-go. So I went to the one place no one will likely look for me in."
Lady Avalon goes into the lab and locks the door. She sits down and joyfully gobbles down her meal.
As she finishes her fourth box, the power goes out, but it doesn't deter her and she opens her fifth box.
Flashback ends
"Do… Do you even know what's going on out there? Do you realize how dire the situation is?" A flabbergasted Shizuka asks the mage.
"Of course I do. I can see everything that is happening at this moment." Lady Avalon states.
"So then…" Ennie clenches fists in rising fury. "You saw everything that's been happening. Everything that we had to go through just to get here… AND YOU DID NOTHING?!"
Lady Avalon finishes the last box. "Pretty much."
Ennie's body ignites with blue flames and a crimson tattoo appears on her chest.
"Wait, nee-!" But Luso is quickly swept away by her sister's speed.
"DIE!" Ennie cocks her flaming fist back and goes straight for the kill.
Only for Lady Avalon to nonchalantly raise her wand and let it collide with Ennie's fist, stopping the fire mage in her tracks.
"What!?" Ennie exclaims in shock.
"She stopped nee-san's attack so easily!?" Even Luso was just as shocked.
"Wow…" Faris and Touka are in awe.
Avalon looks at her dead in the eyes like she isn't even a threat.
"Do not underestimate the power and talent of the great Lady Avalon!" She swats Ennie away.
Her smug moment, however, is cut off by the dark aura coming from the clone, whose face is expressionless. Chisato and Shizuka weren't much better, if the harsh glares they gave Lady Avalon were any indication.
"Lady Avalon, need I remind you that the boss originally summoned you and the other [Isekaijin] to help us defeat Rustyrose and save the multiverse? And yet here you are, hiding and being lazy at a time when you are needed most?" The clone coldly reminds her.
"Indeed. And isn't it important for a spouse to support their partner when they are most vulnerable or need help the most?" Chisato adds, the glint in her glaring eyes cold enough to freeze hell.
"This is very unbecoming of you." Shizuka said with the tone of a teacher.
"Now, now. There's no need for animosity." Lady Avalon stands up. "Besides, my purpose here is two-fold: to avoid the Majin's senses." She gestures to the structure behind her. "... and to keep the package secure."
Behind her is a coffin identical to the one Athena was in, with the only difference being this one is white.
"You kept watch over it?" The clone asked.
"Yup! I knew you'd come here for it. So I raised a Bounded Field around the lab that would hide it from the parasite." Avalon eats the last chip. "Besides, it's not like there was much to do in a dark room aside from eating Fish and Chips."
The clone lets go of his nurses and slowly makes his way towards the coffin.
"Good. It doesn't seem to have suffered any damage." He presses a button and activates the terminal on its side. "I should be able to wake her up."
The group picks up on what he just said.
"Wait, her? You mean there's a person in there?" Luso asks.
"Sort of. The boss rescued the remains from the ruins of the Gold Owl." The clone replies. "Using Athena's designs, the boss and Lamy were able to rebuild her into a more powerful body. But unlike her previous self though, she has a soul and is able to feel things like any human being."
"So then… it's alive. Like actually alive." Faris surmised.
"Yes."
"Then why didn't you wake her up before? Why did you just leave her locked up in that coffin?" Luso asks.
"Because she wasn't ready." He said. "Her mental state wasn't fully matured enough to handle the complexity of the real world. And without a parental figure to guide her, she would have likely gone berserk and destroyed the base." He then sighs. "They couldn't risk waking her up without jeopardizing everyone's safety, she is practically a newborn baby. So, the boss opted to put her in a simulated world that's fully automated where she can learn and develop without interference."
"So you've been having the computer perform EQ and IQ tests on her this whole time?" Shizuka said.
"Essentially, yes." The clone said before banging his fist on the computer. "C'mon!" But then sees something on the screen that stops the clone in his tracks. "Oh no."
"What is it?" Touka asks.
"There's not enough power to activate her. And the backup power cells aren't functioning!" He kneels and pulls out a metal panel under the computer. "I'll need to divert power manually from an external power source and start a forced activation."
"Any idea what he's talking about, nee-san?" Luso whispers to her sister.
"Nope." Ennie whispers back.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
Everyone turns to the front as something loudly hits the doors before they fly off and Majin zombies flood the lab.
"Shit! Talk about terrible timing." The clone kneels and opens the panel on the coffin where he begins to disentangle a group of wires. "Keep them busy while I get to work on rerouting the power."
"You heard him, ladies! Let's take care of these annoying creatures! Faris and Touka, if you cannot fight effectively, then stand behind Shizuka and myself! The rest of us will face these pink creatures!" Chisato declares, taking charge while her husband was occupied, before glancing at Lady Avalon. "That includes YOU as well, Lady Avalon!"
"Aw, do I have to?" Lady Avalon whines, before quickly becoming silent at the death glares she was getting from everyone, including the side glares from her master/husband. "Okay, okay!"
"Let's show these people what we mistresses of fire are capable of, sis!" Luso says, charging her black flames of [Fire God Slayer Magic] before unleashing them at the Majin.
"Way ahead of you!" Ennie says before launching a barrage of blue fire bullets at the incoming horde.
"Shizuka-san, charge up your Ki and unleash a volley of blasts alongside me!" Chisato says while channeling her divine magic alongside her Ki before unleashing a barrage of energy beams. Shizuka did as asked and launched continuous Ki blasts at the horde.
Avalon spins her wand and summons golden energy swords. "Ha!" She sends at the zombies like seeker missiles, impaling all of them simultaneously.
Touka watches in awe from her hiding place along with Faris. "They're so cool!"
"We've been preparing for this fight for some time, even if we were ultimately still caught off guard by how much Rustyrose had under his control." The clone explains while rerouting the power for the coffin. "These guys are no joke, being responsible for attacking Elentear and kidnapping Selene."
Faris and Touka were horrified at the revelation that Selene was kidnapped, but before they could say anything, they were cut off by the series of explosions caused by the other girls.
"Did we get all of them?" Shizuka asks in worry.
"Yeah, for the time being, we're good." Lady Avalon confirms.
"Alright," he turns to everyone. "I got some good news and bad news. The good news is I was able to divert power to the coffin. The bad news is there's not enough to draw from."
"And I'm guessing you have an alternative." Ennie said.
"Yup." The clone nods. "I use my own energy to fuel the coffin and activate its emergency release system."
Chisato looks worried. "But if you use up your remaining energy… the degradation-"
"Will run rampant and utterly destroy what remains of this body, I know." The clone finishes. "However, I don't plan on leaving you all completely alone." He summons his [Isekai Summoning Staff] and grabs it.
"Set summoning to multi-random. Total number of summons: 4."
Command accepted. Beginning randomized summoning sequence.
Four magic circles and people appear.

"Where the fuck am I!?" Church yells, his body transparent like a ghost.
"Language." Dlanor says in a monotone but cute voice. She tries kicking Church but her foot just phases through him. "Tch!"
"Haha! You can't kick a ghost brat!" Church laughs.
"Well, this is quite the development. I was in my shop one minute and transported someplace else the next." Kisuke fans himself. "Oh well, I'm sure everything's fine!"
Kaguya looks around the room with one finger just below her lip. "Wow, this place is all science and stuff."
'Alright, not a bad batch. Though the fact that Church showed up did take me by surprise.' The clone thought.
"Okay guys, I know you have a lot of questions, but sadly we don't have a lot of time so I'm just gonna give you the rundown." The clone then explains everything that's happening to the new group of [Isekaijin].
Needless to say, they were all surprised.
"Shit. So we're like in a zombie flick or something?" Church said.
"Pretty much." The clone confirms.
Dlanor and Kaguya have dark expressions of disgust and anger.
"I'm more interested in these Chaos Emeralds you were talking about." Kisuke said, using his fan to hide his serious expression. 'If these emeralds are anything like the [Hōgyoku]… I may have to seal them away to make sure they never fall into the wrong hands.'
"So what would you have us do, master?" Dlanor asks her new lord.
"Well, I'll have you all split into three groups. One group will go up to the control room, one group will take back the engine room, and another will destroy the clamps that bind the base." The clone states.
"Shouldn't we rescue everyone first? They will want to be a part of this." Shizuka points out.
"Good point." The clone acknowledges before looking at Church. "Church, since you're a ghost, you're technically the most qualified for this. I need you to go outside the palace and find my friends in the outside structure. You might be able to recognize them if they bear either of these symbols." The clone says before illustrating both the guild symbol of Fairy Tail and his [Mate Mark] with [Illusion Magic]. "If not, look for people with unique appearances like horns, fan service or talking cats. They are most likely held captive together. Also, If you cross paths with a woman with long silver hair named Mirajane Strauss, tell her to try and bring as many people as possible to this room with Chaos Control. She'll know what to do."
"Holy shit, man! What kind of anime fever dream-like shit did you get me into!? Bet either Tucker or Simmons would love it here." Church said. "Fine, I'll look for your stupid weeb friends, but they better not smell like ass!"
With that, Church runs off to who knows where.
"... he knows he's not a ghost, right?" Kisuke said. "I know ghosts and he isn't a ghost."
"He… has his reasons. But that's a story for another time." The Clone begins to sense that he is fading soon. "I take it you already formulated countermeasures based on what I told you in that little head of yours?"
"Pretty much." Kisuke said.
"Here." He throws his [Sonic Screwdriver] at Kisuke and catches it. "You'll need that to access the computer systems here, among other things."
Kisuke looks at the screwdriver and turns it on, marveling at the small but highly advanced piece of equipment. "Awesome."
"I'm counting on you, Hat 'n Clogs." The clone picks up two wires. "Oh, and a quick heads up, Rusty has been traveling the multiverse for a while, so don't be surprised if you end up fighting someone you know because chances are they're likely modified and under his complete control."
"And you decided to tell us this now because?" Ennie asks.
"Hey, things slip your mind when you're slowly dying. So give me a break." The clone told her before collapsing.
"Asmodeus-kun/Master!" His wives quickly rush to his side.
"My time is running out. I need to use whatever power I have left to activate the coffin." The clone says.
"We'll do whatever it takes to stop Rusty and save everyone, Asmodeus-kun." Chisato says before she, Avalon, and Shizuka kiss him on the lips.
"Make me proud, girls." The clone smiles and connects the two wires, causing his body to be surrounded in light.
The clone's body quickly dissolves into nothing while his energy travels through the cables and into the coffin itself.
"..." Everyone stares in silence for any changes.
"I don't get it. Was something supposed to happen?" Kaguya asks.
Suddenly, the coffin begins to glow and the lid suddenly flies off its hinges.
The others quickly move away just as the lid crashes onto a couple of empty vats behind them.
The group turns as a figure jumps off the coffin. She is a beautiful young woman with a toned, muscular body with G-cup breasts. She has dark skin, long silver-white hair and aquamarine blue eyes. She wears a black battle leotard, an armored gauntlet on her left arm, and black high heeled boots. She wears a black visor around her head with a red gem in the center giving it the appearance of a third, much more menacing red eye. (AN: It's T-elos from Xenosaga 3)
"Hey, it's T-elos-chan!" Kaguya chirped.
The woman looks around the lab. "Where… am I?" She then eyes the group and glares at them with clear hostility. "Who are you?"
Kisuke quickly tries to diffuse the situation and steps in. "It's alright, it's alright. There's no need for hostility. There's nobody here except friends."
The newly-awakened Bio-Android tilts her head. "Friends? Is that supposed to mean something?"
"It means that you can trust us and that we have your best interests at heart, along with valuing and caring about you." Chisato adds.
"..." The android says nothing before her attention turns to the Signario sisters. "You two… are familiar. I just woke up but I remember you two. How… strange."
"!?" The twins are surprised by her words.
"Um," She sharply turns to Faris who flinches at the sight.
"D-Do you have a name!?" Faris quickly asks.
This actually makes the artificial woman freeze as if pondering the idea. "... a name."
Just then, a group of zombies flood the lab and rush towards the group.
The android kicks one of the empty vats off its hinges and throws them at the zombies knocking them back.
The visor on her head lowers and glows red. From her perspective, the HUD shows her the number of enemies in front of her as well as their composition and power level.
Immediately, the android rushes at the monsters and systematically tears them to pieces with precise blows that would kill an ordinary opponent.
The group's jaws hang wide open at the massacre playing right before their eyes.
"Shit…" An awestruck Ennie began. "That was…"
"Awesome?" Luso asks.
"Brutal?" Kagura asks.
"Unnecessary?" Shizuka asks.
"Yes." Ennie said.
The android straightens herself and disengages her battle mode. "I think I remember my name now…"
Faris' eyes widened. "You… you do?"
The android turns to the group. "It's Métis."
Back with Fairy Tail
"And that brings us to now. Any questions?" Church asks everyone.
"Yeah. How did you know things you weren't there for?" Carla asks.
"I… don't know…" Church admits before shaking his head. "Anyways, I'm here to break you guys out. Isn't that good enough?"
"I mean, your tone gives me the impression that you're a major asshole." Gray said
Church just looks at Gray through his soulless visor. "Wow. Just for that, I'm not gonna free you. Have fun, losers." He then walks away.
"What the hell, you bastard!? You just ruined our one shot out of here!" Natsu yelled at Gray.
"Oh c'mon! That guy's an asshole! You all can see it!" Gray defended.
"Even so, we cannot turn on a helping hand. That would make us look bad." Erza said.
"Gray-sama is so cold." A monotone Juvia comment.
Everyone glares at Gray who at least has the dignity to look guilty.
"Wait! Please don't go!" Church turns to the sound of the cute voice and sees a little girl.
"What did you say?" Church asks the little bluenette.
"U-Um," A nervous Wendy stammers from the intense stare she's getting. "P-P-Please don't go…?"
"And why shouldn't I? Your friend made it clear you don't appreciate my efforts to free you all." Church replies with clear hostility in his voice.
"Please sir, we need to get out of here. If we don't escape soon, that monster Rustyrose will turn all us girls into his obedient sex slaves, and he'll ultimately force his vision of a perfect world and his sick desires on our whole universe before moving on to others. Please, we need your help." Wendy begs.
Church stares at Wendy's sad puppy eyes, before finally responding. "Okay, sure."
"Wait, just like that?!" Gray shouts, only to wince when everyone was glaring at him again, nonverbally warning him to keep his mouth shut. Even Ur and Juvia were no exception.
"Look I'm not completely heartless, and that Rustyrose guy sounds like a real sick bastard who needs an ass-kicking. Also, who names their kid Rustyrose? It's like his parents knew he was gonna grow up to be an obnoxious asshole." Church remarks. "Plus, even I can't say no to such an adorable child (curse you anime for making cuteness a lethal weapon)."
Everyone watches Church's hand phases through a panel.
"Okay, that should do it." With a click, everyone's energy cuffs power down and everyone jumps off the walls.
"Alright! Let's go take down that Rustscum!" Natsu shouts as he was about to run off but was stopped by Church as he appeared right in front of him.
"Whoa there, pinky! Are you asking for a death wish or something?" Church questions as he placed his hands on his hips as he gave the Dragon Slayer a questionable look. Not that anyone can see through his helmet.
"It's salmon, dammit! And why not?!" Natsu questions in growing annoyance.
"Yeesh, not much smarts he has in there, does he? Bet Sarge would love to recruit him." The self proclaimed ghost commented.
"So what is our next course of action? I am sure the clone briefed you on a plan." Larcade asks.
"Yeah no. He just told me to look for you guys, and to find someone named Mirajane Strauss." Church said.
Mira steps forward with her adorable smile. "I'm Mirajane Strauss. Nice to meet you."
Church stares at Mira's gravity-defying giant boobs jiggle without her doing anything.
"God, he was not kidding about the fanservice. I may as well be in a porno." He murmurs under his breath.
"?" Mira cutely tilts her head.
"Stop it." Church said.
"Stop what?" Mira cutely asks.
"Stop being cute and sexy. How is someone cute and sexy at the same time!? That is not physically possible!" Church yells.
"Hey, stop yelling at nee-san!" Lisanna said, her face angered but it just makes her cuter and tits bounce.
"... is this like a rule for you guys where all the women have to be cute and sexy? Because if it is… you may have a problem." Church states.
"Hey! There's nothing wrong with our bodies, thank you! You just don't have good taste in women!" Cana grabs her tits and makes them bounce.
"A.) I'm a ghost. So that doesn't appeal to me. And B.) I'll let you know I'm already in a relationship!"
Much to the shock of few of the idea of this asshole having a girlfriend.
"Someone wants to be in a relationship with you? I find that hard to believe." Seilah bluntly said.
"Yeah sorry, but I'm having a hard time seeing a ghost tinman with a living woman." Gajeel chimes.
"If she was here, she'd kick all of your asses." Church proudly states.
"Oh really? Where is she then?" Cana mockingly asks.
Church looks down as his demeanor suddenly changes.
"She's… not around anymore…" Church reveals in a low voice.
Cana hisses at the emotional landmine she just stepped on. "I… I'm sorry."
"Hey, it's not like she's dead or anything. She's just… unreachable right now." Church then takes a deep breath. "Look, can we get back to the bad guy asskicking? All this emotional shit just makes me wanna fuck the bad guys up!"
"Y-Yeah." Cana quickly recovers. "So, why did you want Mira for?"
"Right. Well, that Asmodeus guy asked me to tell Mirajane Strauss to bring everyone back to the base with something called 'Chaos Control' and that she would know what to do." Church says.
"He wants us to return to the [Aincrad]? But shouldn't we explore this place to find that bastard Rustyrose and stop him?" Natsu asked.
"No. There's no telling what kinds of forces or hidden traps Rustyrose has here. Asmodeus likely wanted us all in the [Aincrad] where it's safer and more familiar to us and to regroup, along with what I'm guessing is protecting the Chaos Emeralds that are still inside. It's easier to defend familiar territory over invading unknown territory." Diana deduces.
"The American sex symbol is right, pinky." Church said.
"It's salmon dammit!"
"And I am NOT a sex symbol!" Diana yelled.
"Enough, guys. It's a good plan and I can take all of us back to the [Aincrad]. Though shouldn't some of us try to find Asmodeus-kun?" Mirajane asks before looking at Church. "Church-san, if you were able to get here without issue and what I'm guessing was completely undetected, can you search this place to find Asmodeus-kun? We can't stop Rustyrose and whatever traps or forces he has without him."
"Oh yeah I can do that. Shouldn't be too hard. I mean, do you know how fucking MASSIVE a Halo Ring is? Yeah, I'll find him lickidy-split." Church said with clear sarcasm.
"Ugh. Must you be such a brute?" Carla cringed.
"It's all part of my charm, kitty-kat." Church said.
"Moving along, once we get back to base, we should discuss a plan for a counterattack. We shouldn't stay here for too long or else the risk of that bastard Rustyrose discovering our freedom will grow too high. And as much as I want to immediately search for Asmodeus, he wanted us to escape and we best not waste his efforts." Chun-Li states.
Irene nods. "That would be the best course of action."
"Alright. Everyone grab onto me." Mira said.
"You guys go on ahead. I'll use Instant Transmission and follow your energy." Xeno Goku said.
"Wait, you have Instant Transmission too? Awesome." Cana said.
Several of the fairies grabbed onto Mira, others grabbed onto Cana, and everyone else grabbed Xeno Goku.
"Hey! You're not leaving me behind!" Church grabs onto Wendy's shoulder (AN: How he's able to grab her as a ghost is a mystery).
"Here goes! Chaos Control!" Mirajane says while focusing on the mental image of the [Aincrad].
Instantly, Mira's group vanishes, while Cana's group and Xeno Goku's group quickly follow via Instant Transmission.
In a flash, Mira and the others appear in [Satan's Soul] with Cana and Xeno Goku's group appearing soon after.
"Hey. We're in my lab!" Lamy points out.
Mira looks around and is quite impressed by how clean the lab looks, unlike its original iteration.
"It's a lot cleaner than I thought… more lighting too." Mira then looks down. "But, this isn't the place I had in mind. I wanted to go straight to the control room, not here."
Everyone then notices a massive array of equations spread around the floors, vats and tables.
Lamy then reads one of the equations. "Wow, whoever made this is a genius. They seem to have solved the problem of dimensional transference I was having."
"Why thank you. It's so good to have someone appreciate one's work without getting jealous about it." Everyone jumps at the voice and sees a man with messy blonde hair wearing a dark green samue over a black haori with a white diamond pattern along with a pair of wooden sandals and a striped dark green and white bucket hat which shadows his eyes.
"Who are you?" Xeno Vegeta demands.
"Why, your new super genius best friend, of course!" He says, fanning himself as he smiles. "The name's Kisuke Urahara, the handsome owner of Karakura Town's own Urahara Shop. It's nice to meet you all!"
Lamy gestures to the equation on the ground. "You made this?"
"Yup! Quite the brain teaser, too! Took 2 minutes to figure it out." Kisuke said.
Lamy blinks at his words. "2 MINUTES!? I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE IT FOR 3 WEEKS!"
"Oh. Well, I guess I was just better at it. Haha." Kisuke laughs, causing Lamy to grow annoyed.
Just then, a familiar trio walk towards the commotion.
"Chisato-san! Shizuka-san! Lady Avalon! You're okay!" Konomi rushes to them and traps the trio in a hug.
"Oof! Konomi-san… can't breathe…" Shizuka gets out.
Konomi quickly lets them go. "Oops. Sorry."
"Anyways, why don't we take this to my office?" Kisuke gestures further into the lab. "I have a plan for how we can take back the castle."
The group walk a little further in and find that his "office" is just the terminal and the empty coffin where Métis was housed.
Said android is standing next to the terminal, its visor down with multiple cables hooked up to the headpiece on her head.
Lamy's eyes widen at the sight of the android. "You woke her up!?"
Athena stares at Métis with clear curiosity.
"What are THEY doing here!?" Jellal angrily points to Faris and Touka.
Fairy Tail glares with visible anger at the two for hypnotizing them and forcing them to nearly kill their fellow guildmates, their own family.
Faris flinches at the palpable rage radiating from their gazes, scared that they may attack her.
"L-Look, I'm truly sorry for controlling you guys and forcing you to fight one another, but the truth is I had no choice!" Faris nervously admits, drawing disbelief and skepticism from the angry members of Fairy Tail. "I was forced to come to Earthland by the Moon Dragon God to erase its magic power. The plan was to first whiting out Aldoron while he was building strength. That way, we could manipulate Aldoron into fighting the other Dragon Gods." She looks down, crestfallen. "But that didn't work, as you know, and it awakened Aldoron instead."
"You seem… different from before." Lucy points out, her overall demeanor and personality was different from when she was leading Rebellious.
"It's because when I took over Rebellious, I took in massive amounts of the White Creed from the believers and spun out of control, giving birth to a pseudo-personality known as the [White Wizard]." Faris states.
"So it's a case of Dissociative Identity Disorder." Shizuka surmises.
"Seems that way." Chisato said.
"In the end, I failed my mission… and now Elentear is likely destroyed." Faris says with a quiet sob.
The fairies and Etherious look at each other clearly confused.
"Wait, what are you talking about? Elentear isn't destroyed." Brandish reveals.
Faris and Touka look at the Nation Destroyer with clear shock on their faces.
"W-What did you say?" Touka stammers.
"Yeah, we saved Elentear from Rusty's mind-controlled goons and saved everyone there." 21 said.
Tears began to build up in Faris and Touka's eyes before they embraced Brandish in a hug.
"Thank you so much for saving our home!" The duo cried.
"It was no problem, though the real credit goes to Asmodeus-sama for sending us there in the first place and facing Wanda here when she was brainwashed!" Brandish spoke with pride being evident upon mentioning her husband.
However, Touka notices Brandish is putting more strength into the hug. "Um, Brandish-san?"
"Ah! You're so fluffy! I just wanna hug ya forevah~" Brandish squealed.
Cell just laughs. "Ha! I doubt that Selene could have destroyed Elentear even if she wanted to, considering how easily I was able to destroy it while kidnapping her!" Earning gasps of horror from the duo.
"Dude… what the fuck-" Gajeel began.
"-is wrong with you!?" Church finished.
"What? I'm an evil, god slaying, perfectly handsome, and single biological android. It's what I do." Cell defends.
"Oh we know. You made that quite clear during our two years of training." Wakaba said.
"It's just that you don't have to sound so damn proud about it!" Laxus yelled.
"Wait, wait, wait. You trained with this thing!? Seriously!?" Church then chuckles. "He probably used you guys as punching bags."
"Yeah, he did." Jet said.
"For TWO years." Droy adds as he begins having a Vietnam flashback as Cell's laughter echoes in his mind.
"Well, it still shows that I am stronger than all of you put together." Cell smugly smirks.
"But you still lost to Asmodeus, right? You Kamen Rider reject." Church said.
Cell eye twitched. "What did you say, you little-"
"That is enough, Cell. Stop antagonizing these two and the members of Fairy Tail, or else I will let Asmodeus-sama know about this." Irene warns sternly, causing Cell to grumble while the other [Transcendent] girls and the [Isekaijin] also harshly glare at him for his cruel remarks.
"Whipped." Church said, making Cell's eye twitch harder.
"Make no mistake, ghost. I will destroy you." Cell swears.
"Meh. I've died a lot back in Blood Gulch. This shit doesn't phase me one bit." Church shrugs.
Brandish then hugs the two more gently, surprising them. "Don't listen to the mean bug-man. Asmodeus-sama made sure to restore Elentear and revive everyone after Cell's attack."
"R-Really?" Faris asks in a hopeful tone, to which Brandish nods much to their relief.
"Bug man?! Insolent girl, you-!" Cell starts, before being cut off by Xeno Goku and Vegeta.
"That's enough, Cell. Considering what you did, that's the least of what you deserve." Xeno Goku harshly states in a serious manner.
"Besides, whether you want to admit it or not, you DO resemble a bug." Xeno Vegeta smugly adds.
"And you have a receding hairline. How no one notices that I'll never know." Cell retorts.
Xeno Vegeta grits his teeth in anger.
Xeno Goku looks at his fellow Saiyan, more specifically his head. "Huh. I never did notice you were going bald, Vegeta."
"I AM NOT GOING BALD KAKAROT! MY HAIR HAS ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE THIS SINCE I WAS BORN!" Xeno Vegeta yells.
"So you've been balding since you were a baby? I feel sorry for you." Church snickers.
"I hate you all." Xeno Vegeta grumbles.
"Okay, okay, that's enough banter from all of you, yeah? We don't wanna kill each other." Kisuke said, trying to defuse the tension.
"Hmph." Vegeta huffs and crosses his arms together.
"Whatever." Cell grumbles.
Natsu notices the Signario twins in the corner and waves at them.
Luso waves back while Ennie sharply turns her head to the side.
"What are they doing here?" Athena asks.
"Asmodeus-kun offered them sanctuary and a fresh start by joining him, so they are helping us in our fight against Rustyrose." Shizuka explains.
"I see. Well, for what it's worth, it's good to be working with you two again." Athena remarks.
"No kidding, I was worried I would have to fight you guys like with Ignia." Natsu states, causing the Signario sisters to flinch as they remembered how Asmodeus told them that he and Natsu killed Ignia.
"We're getting off-track. Let's get back to the task at hand." Diana says before looking at Kisuke. "I believe you said you had a plan to help us beat Rustyrose?"
"More or less." Kisuke admits. "My plan is to cripple dear ol' Rusty's plan." He shows a snapshot of two metal doors. "Thanks to Métis-chan, I narrowed down Rustyrose's location, however, his chamber is protected by a protective barrier." Multiple snapshots are shown of the towing cables as well as other specific locations. "In order to destroy the barrier, we need to destroy the runes in these specific locations, take down their guardians and release his control over them."
"So just do what we usually do, right?" Natsu smirks as he slams his fists together. "That doesn't sound so hard."
"What do we do about the cables then?" Levy points out, knowing that they couldn't leave with those things binding them in place.
"Athena and I will take care of that." Everyone turns to Métis. "Our bodies are capable of surviving in the vacuum of space. We will disarm the tow cables and free the castle."
"Disarm? Are you saying that the cables are boobytrapped?" Konomi asks.
"Correct." Métis confirms. "The cables have been outfitted with thermonuclear explosives. If we tamper with them in any way, they will detonate and destroy everything within a 100,000-mile radius."
"Damn, talk about overkill." Wanda said.
"Thermonuclear?" Wendy asks.
"It's the process of fusing light atomic nuclei at very high temperatures to release energy. It's a common occurrence in stars. It's also what powers hydrogen bombs." Kisuke explains. "It is an uncontrolled self-sustaining chain reaction in which isotopes of hydrogen combine under extremely high temperatures to form helium in a process known as nuclear fusion. And he has hundreds of these bastards inside on those tow cables. We would be atomized in an instant before we can muster any form of defense."
"So he's willing to risk his own life just to keep us on a literal leash? Man, I knew the bastard was crazy but this just tops it." Max said.
"How did you come upon this information?" Makarov asks the important question.
"Méti-tan is such a helpful assistant." Kisuke pats the android's head. "She hacked into the ring's main computer systems. Rusty-boy may be a pretty good magician, but his computer skills are clear garbage."
"Yeah, speaking of. Why is his base a Halo Array? I mean, not that it's bad or anything (it's actually the coolest idea ever), it's just… weird." Church said.
Everyone turns to the phantom Spartan clearly confused. "Halo Array?"
"Wait, you guys don't know what a fucking Halo Array is?! What are you, stupid!?" Church exclaims in shock.
"Hey! Just because we don't know what a Harlem Shake is doesn't mean we're stupid!" Natsu defended.
"That's not even close to what he said!" Lucy points out.
"And you know what? I'm not even gonna tell you what it is." Church said.
"Why!?"
"I just don't feel like it." Church shrugs.
"Anyways," Kisuke brings everyone back on track. "It seems that originally his plan was to use a single Chaos Emerald to trigger a 'universal reset' by accelerating the flow of time until the current universe is destroyed and a new one takes its place, with the design of this installation meant to act as both a catalyst and an amplifier for the reaction." He explains. "But now it seems his plans have changed. He now wants to use all seven emeralds to launch something he has dubbed the 'Genesis Wave' using this installation as a conduit that will reshape reality of both this universe and the rest of the multiverse to fit his desired image."
"Are you saying that this madman is already planning on reshaping the multiverse as we speak?!" Diana asks in shock. Her husband might have repeatedly stated that Rusty planned on expanding his reach across the multiverse, but they all operated under the belief that he would start with Fairy Tail's Universe BEFORE expanding further. Now it appeared that it was coming much sooner than any of them anticipated.
"I'm afraid so. I can see why Asmodeus deemed it necessary to summon people from other universes like myself, and not just because of Rusty's brainwashed followers." Kisuke sighs. "The fate of ALL universes and everything we have ever known is now at stake. If we fail, EVERYTHING we know and love will be altered to suit Rustyrose's liking, with all of us either being dead, erased from existence, or forced into eternal servitude."
Everyone processes the serious implications, but the silence was broken by Wanda.
"Like hell we are gonna let this bastard get his way!" Wanda yelled.
"YEAH!"
"We also need to find Asmodeus-sama! If anyone knows more about the Chaos Emeralds and [Chaos Energy] it's him!" Brandish exclaims, drawing nods of agreement from virtually everyone, including reluctant ones from even Cell and Tempester.
"I hate to burst your hopeful bubble, but your dear master may also have fallen to their control." Kisuke suddenly chimes in with realism.
Seilah uncharacteristically scoffs at the notion. "There is no way my master would fall under their primitive tricks."
"Yeah! You dumb or something!?" Ur yells at the humble shop owner.
Kisuke sweat drops as he feels the wave of KI coming from the majority of women. 'Damn. This guy really has all of these girls wrapped around his thumb. I can't tell whether I should be either impressed or scared.'
"Well, in the case that he DID end up going rogue, he gave me the means to neutralize him." Kisuke pulls out the [Sonic Screwdriver]. "Inside this is the biodata of every single one of you, including magic power, Semblances, aura levels, personalities, etc. He also left detailed contingency plans on how to deal with everyone, himself included."
"Contingency plans. I bet Bruce would love to get his hands on those." Diana mutters to herself, a bit hurt that her summoner/husband doesn't trust her.
While everyone was hurt by this breach of trust, a few actually understood his reasons for putting them in place.
"Asmodeus-sama likely only did that as a precautionary measure of last resort against Rustyrose's mind control since it could potentially force us to fight each other, as Faris did with Fairy Tail. But just because he's thorough and is humble enough to acknowledge he isn't infallible, that doesn't mean he doesn't trust us or that he is under their control!" Lamy says in defense of their master.
"Yeah! Azzy has ALWAYS had faith in us, and we do in him as well! He likely just wanted to be prepared since that bastard Rustyrose fights dirty! And I remember him saying he's immune to all forms of mind control, which he proved when this girl tried to control him with her magic but ultimately failed!" Natsu adds while pointing at Faris, his words clearing any temporary doubts of Asmodeus' trust in them.
"You know, I'm glad you have so much faith in him, because guess who's HIS contingency plan?" Kisuke grinned.
Kyôka's eyes widened as she put the pieces together. "... it's us, isn't it?"
Kisuke nods in confirmation.
"No way. You sayin' WE'RE Asmodeus' contingency plan?!" A shocked Romeo exclaims.
"Yup! He trusts you all so much that he made you his nuclear deterrent. Isn't that sweet!?" Kisuke chirped.
The monster places the gray Chaos Emerald on top of the pillar and watches it glow along with the other six.
The monsters all cry in glee before darkness begins to seep out of their pink bodies and promptly turn into dust.
The emeralds absorb the dark energy, turning them black as they form a black energy ring and start pumping negative energy to the base, spreading its corruption with nothing to stop it.
Majin Buu cackles as it devours the [Negative Chaos Energy] changing its body from pink to gray.
Alarms suddenly burst to life grabbing everyone's attention.
"What's going on!?" Ennie exclaims.
Lamy goes up to the terminal and runs a quick scan. "Engines are going into meltdown. We only have 30 minutes to shut them down or they'll blow us all to oblivion."
"Well, no time like the present!" Kisuke points the screwdriver at Church and his projection begins to sizzle until he is suddenly split into ten different bodies, each of varying colors.
"What the fuck!?" Church exclaims in shock and horror.
Kisuke picks up an injector from the desk and turns to the group.
"So, who's ready for their shot?" Kisuke asks with an "innocent" smile.
"Urgh… ngh…"
Towa watches on as her beloved resisted the "gift" she oh so painstakingly made for him. Right now, his body has grown taller and more muscular. His canines have grown in length and sharpened, his hair has grown extensively long and has turned white with a pair of obsidian horns growing out of his head taking the form of a crown, along with his forearms turning black that fade into red around his hands.
"Your act of defiance is a waste of time, darling. The more you resist, the longer and more painful the metamorphosis will be. You should just give in and let the [Dark Factor] take hold. Then we can be together as the dark gods of the Demon Realm~" Towa reassures me in a soothing manner.
"N-Not… in your life…!" I struggle to say, my voice constantly changing pitches as I resist its corruption.
"Hehe. I'm surprised you can be so defiant. Just give in to your dark urges and become your true self." Towa takes a breathy tone as she leans close to my earl. "I know you want to~"
I growl at the temptation before it is cut off by the sound of a familiar voice coming from the computer.
"Towa, the final stage of the plan is underway. Are you still dissecting that pathetic fool or are you gonna come in preparation of the Genesis Wave?" Rustyrose states.
'Genesis… Wave? Oh fuck!' I thought in distress.
[So that's why he brought the Aincrad here. He wants to rewrite all of reality in one fell swoop]
Towa only clicked her teeth in anger, annoyed at being disturbed and how her 'partner' had the audacity to insult her beloved.
"I'll be there soon." Towa sighs in annoyance, before softening and approaching me. "I'm so sorry, darling, but once this is all over, you and I will have all the time in universe~"
"Fuck… you." I growled.
"Already? You truly are insatiable, darling. And we'll definitely be doing it a lot in the future~" Towa giggled before pulling me into a passionate kiss. "But for now, I must go."
With that, Towa teleports out of the lab, leaving me bound and annoyed.
"Damn her… gah!" I grunt as my body continues changing. "I gotta… get out of here…!"
[This Dark Factor stuff is no joke. It's currently corrupting your SOUL, mutating it as we speak. It's somehow even bypassing Gamer's Body and actually affecting you for real]
He wasn't joking. I can… feel myself changing. And unlike my other transformations, this one is actually making me feel sick.
'I gotta think of something quick. If Rusty is planning what I think he's planning, I need to get back to the [Aincrad] and use the Master Emerald.' I thought as I tried to come up with something. 'I might be able to use [Psionic Manipulation] on the restraints. It's my only hope.'
I activate [Psionic Manipulation] and quickly realize just how hard it is to muster any form of focus in this state. It feels like my mind is gonna explode the more I focus on the restraints. They begin to creak at first but there isn't enough force to break them.
'Come on, Asmodeus! You can do this! Fairy Tail is depending on you, your FAMILY is depending on you! The entire MULTIVERSE IS DEPENDING ON YOU!' I internally rant as I try overcoming the pain and muster my focus with [Psionic Manipulation] to remove my restraints.
*POP!* *POP!* *POP!* *POP!*
The restraints all creak before popping off my limbs akin to a burst of built-up pressure.
I groan as I slowly get up from the metal bed but slip and fall on the hard metal floor.
"Come on, come on… I can control this… I am in control here! AAAHHHHH!" I force my body to regress. The horns on my head retract, my body shrinks and the skin of my arms returns to its normal color though my long hair remains white.
"Gah… I did it." I breathe in and out.
[You may have successfully forced the Dark Factor back with your Determination, but it's only a matter of time before it comes back. Meanwhile, I'm still detoxifying your body of the drugs Towa administered into our system. I suggest you find a safe place to recover before doing something strenuous]
I grab the edge of the table and push myself up. "We don't have time, Tobi! You heard what that bastard said, they're preparing to charge up a Genesis Wave!" I managed to regain my balance. "We need to get back to [Aincrad] and shut the emeralds down."
[So that you can turn into a monster and kill everyone there!? No way! You need to save your strength. That Dark Factor crap is affecting your powers and your mind. If you fight then it may really be game over for us]
The [UMF Suit] quickly reforms around me but instead of the usual black gi it is a simple pair of black pants held in place by a black belt, combat boots, and brown-and-red robe.
I turn to the one point of interest in the lab: the two pods. Towa has been unintentionally flaunting them at me like trophies.
"Whoever's inside these, they must be pretty strong." I put my hands on both pods and tried to sense the ki inside them, but it was inert; dormant.
Just then, I sense a familiar ki signature heading here. It's Towa.
"Shit! I gotta get out of here…!" I quickly make a beeline for the exit.
On my way to the exit, however, I ran into a destroyed section of the lab that either Towa or Rusty tried to seal but couldn't. I could see the melted steel, large scorch marks, and some kind of glowing waste on the floors. There are rows among rows of destroyed metal pods, almost like they were being thrown at something… or someone.
'Holy hell! Just what the fuck were those two doing in there!?' I thought anxiously.
Just what have I walked into?
Sensing Towa's energy getting closer, I quickly rush through the exit and traverse the empty alien halls.
I made sure to activate [Perfect Unknowable] to ensure I would remain invisible and undetected, though it was a struggle treading through the corridors in my condition.
'Dammit, I'm in no condition to teleport, or even fight in general. And of course Rusty had to overcompensate with an unnecessarily large-ass base. At least the size of the [Aincrad] serves a legit purpose beyond an ego boost.' I thought in frustration as I kept moving forward.
Meanwhile, Towa teleports into her lab and finds the lab table empty and the restraints destroyed. However, rather than being angry, the Demon Goddess was intrigued.
"Huh. I didn't expect him to be up and about so soon. Did he actually manage to resist the corruption?" Towa ponders for a moment. "Even if he did, I doubt he will last much longer, holding back the transformation will eat away at his lifeforce, until he is nothing but a dried husk." She sighs. "And he was such an ideal candidate, too. I doubt those other humans even come close to Asmodeus' evolutionary potential."
She then walks towards her main terminal. "Still, letting those human fools hack our systems was so unlike me. It's a good thing Rusty doesn't have a clue on how computers work. By now, they should have all the information they need to start a counterattack."
She then takes a seat and watches her scenario play in motion. "Now, who will make the first move? Rusty, or the fairies and their false demons. This is so exciting, I can't wait!"
Seed Vault
A futuristic chamber of metal and glass with glass-covered pathways leading to tubes and capsules filled with varying liquids and had names next to each, along with giant tubes of light and energy that powered the whole room.
Suddenly, a beaming flash appears on one of the platforms and Erza, Mirajane, Ultear, and Brandish appear.
The group of four look around and can't help but be amazed by the sheer size of the area.
"What is this place? It's huge." Erza said.
"This is the seed vault. It's where the DNA samples are kept."
In front of the group, a hologram of a humanoid wearing cyan armor appears.
"It's probably the most boring part of the installation. Because I am sooooooo bored!" The hologram groans.
"We're not here for fun, Iota. We're here to stop that bastard Rustyrose once and for all." Mirajane reminded him.
"Hmph. You're so serious. C'mon, why not give me that cute smile of yours." Iota said.
"We need to find the rune but stay on guard. Rustyrose likely has individuals protecting this place." Erza says.
Suddenly, Iota's projection changed color, from cyan to gold.
"H-Hey, this place is giving me the creeps. M-Maybe we should call Kisuke and s-send us back." The gold AI stammers, clearly in fear.
"I doubt we could even if we want to. Knowing that evil scumbag, I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow blocked our way out. He likely has several brainwashed women here to fight anyone protecting it. If my mother is one of them, I'll personally stop her so that Asmodeus-sama can free her later." Brandish says in an uncharacteristically dark and serious manner that makes the other girls sympathetic.
"We'll save your mother, Brandish, along with our friends and loved ones. That son of a bitch won't get away with this." Ultear reassures her.
The hologram's color changed back to cyan.
"Yeah! Don't let Eta get you down! You guys are the strongest there is!" Iota exclaims.
Four women smiled but just then they sensed foul energy heading towards them and immediately Minerva, Kagura, and Grammi appeared. Their bodies are completely enveloped in an aura of [Negative Chaos Energy] and their glowing a menacing red.
"Mother…" Brandish murmurs, her expression a mix of both joy and sadness.
"..." Grammi said.
"I'll free you both from this. I promise." Erza told them.
Minerva and Kagura merely stare.
"Man, those ladies are all kinds of wrong. I can feel it in my coding matrix." Iota says before switching with Eta. "I wanna go home! I wanna go home right now!"
"Let's make this quick and thorough, girls. I know personally the horror of being experimented on and controlled by that bastard, and it's something I wouldn't wish even on my worst enemies. And we need to stop that bastard for good." Ultear says to her friends.
"Agreed. The sooner we subdue them, the sooner we can save them and stop Rusty and Towa." Mirajane says as she turns into her [Satan Soul: Mard Geer Tartaros] form.
"Don't worry, mother! I will save you, and Asmodeus-sama will free you! Then we can be together again!" Brandish declares while charging her various forms of power.
Blood Gulch
Laxus, Makarov, Natsu, Happy, Carla, and Wendy can be seen walking through a box canyon.
"To think such a large structure was capable of housing this." Makarov kneels and pips up a fistful of dirt with bits of grass. "It smells real, it feels real, yet it doesn't feel fully natural."
"Yeah, there's something in the air that I just can't make out." Laxus said.
"My nose is telling me that we're on Earthland, but I know we're not." Natsu comments as he scratches his nose.
"I wonder if there are any fishies here." Happy said.
Carla sighs. "Is filling your stomach all you think about?"
"No. I also think about you." Happy bluntly said, surprising Carla.
"Idiot…" Carla murmurs as she tries to hide the blush on her face.
"That's not surprising. The interior band of the ring is designed to be habitable, and support a wide range of environments, habitats, ecosystems, and climates." A small cobalt hologram of Church appears next to them.
"Why?" Wendy asks.
"I don't know. But then again, I didn't go to orientation and I didn't care either." Church looks on at the landscape. "But you know, being back here in the Blood Gulch, reminds me of the shittiest time of my life." He sighs. "Everything was so simple."
"Sure does, Church."
"Not now Caboose- WAIT, CABOOSE!?" Church exclaims before double taking at seeing the one person he never thought he'd see again.
"Hello!" Caboose cheerfully said as he waved his hand.
"How the-! Caboose! How are you-? You can't-! You're not even a ghost!"
"Yeah… I'm Caboose and not Caboose. I'm Epsilon and Epsilon is kinda like the memories of your Freelancer A.I. buddies and he pretty much remembers everyone like and all the others!" Caboose or rather Epsilon explains getting the Alpha A.I. to stare at him in utter disbelief.
"Aww man! I can't believe-, wait. What others?"
And the Reds and Blues all appear along with Tex, Carolina and Wash, even Sister is there.
"Well, well, well. You look lost there, blue." Sarge remarks as he cocks his shotgun.
"Sarge. That has to be the creepiest thing you've ever had." Grif told his fellow red.
"What? I'm just pointing out how lonely and pathetic he is because he has imaginary friends." Sarge defended.
Simmons looks at the wizards and turns back to Sarge. "You do know you can see them, right? They aren't imaginary."
"Of course they're imaginary! No one in their right mind would wear that ugly scarf outside! Or have pink hair." Sarge exclaims.
A tick mark appears on Natsu's forehead. "What did you say about my scarf, you little shit!? And my hair's not pink, it's salmon!"
"Yeah! Just like my armor isn't pink, light-ish red!" Donut chimed.
"Dude! Your armor is PINK! Accept it already!" Grif yelled.
"Yeah, it's pink man!" Natsu adds.
Wash sighs. "And there go the idiots again. Talking shit like usual."
"Okay, that's enough guys. Donut can wear whatever she wants." Tucker chimes in.
"Thanks, Tuck–Wait…"
"Pink is a good color on you." Tucker said.
"Tucker, I am a man." Donut said.
"Oh really? Are you sure about that?" Tucker teased.
"We've known each other for years, Tucker." Donut groaned.
"And I think it's about time to take our relationship to the next level, Bow Chika Bow Wow." Tucker compliments before he is punched in the face by Donut.
"Moron." Doc murmurs before turning to Lopez. "So Lopez, how are you feeling today?"
"¡Dios mío, soy un fantasma, y lo peor es que todavía estoy con ustedes! ¿Por qué Dios me castiga? ¿Por qué no puedo descansar en paz? Los fuegos del infierno son mejores que estar en el mismo espacio que todos ustedes." Lopez dijo.
(Translation: My God, I'm a ghost. And the worst thing is that I'm still together with you guys! Why is God punishing me? Why can't I rest in peace!? The fires of Hell are better than being in the same space as you all.)
"Hahaha! You're a riot, Lopez." Doc laughs, earning a groan from Lopez.
"Wow! Look at me. I'm all ghost-like! Bet I can do a lot of sexy stuff like this!" Sister exclaims with a perverted giggle.
"These guys sure are colorful. Both figuratively and literally." Laxus remarks and notices the yellow hologram staring at him.
"Wow! You're huge! And hot! You're huge and hot! Do you wanna go out with me!?" Sister frantically asks.
Laxus sweat drops.
"Hey, knock it off Kai." Grif then turns to Laxus. "And you. Stay the fuck away from my sister."
"You know, despite Grif being a lazy fatass, he is a very protective brother." Simmons whispers to Sarge.
"Yeah. I think that's the only time he ever puts effort in moving." Sarge said. "Makes me almost not wanna kill him. Keyword 'almost'."
"Okay, that's enough! This is one big happy reunion and what-not but let's not forget that were in a mission here, so help me God, let's stop standing around and talk and get the job done so I can see the opportunity of that perverted scum of the universe's dick ripped out of him!" Carolina growled.
All of the men, both living and digital, hold their crotches at the morbid imagery.
Except Natsu, who's too stupid to get it.
"Still the same bundle of anger I see." Tex comments, earning a glare from Carolina.
Church freaks out at seeing his ex-girlfriend. "T-Tex!?"
"Yeah, it's me. Don't be surprised, Epsilon has a memory of everybody. And no, we're not getting back together." Tex told him.
"Yeah… that's fair. After everything we've been through, it's the right thing to do. After all… I did choose to forget you." Church says in defeat.
"Right…" Tex sighed. "But I agree with Carol. I want to see that pervert's dick ripped off and I wanna hear him squeal like the mentally disabled pig he is."
"I hate to break this emotional moment, but we have a job to do." Makarov said.
"We do?" Simmons asks Grif.
"Yeah. And I'm taking a nap. Later." Grif walks away.
"So? How do you like my gift?" Caboose-Epsilon asks his friend(?).
Church looks at the Reds and Blues doing their thing. "... They're all so real, just like I remember them… from the obnoxious right down to the stupid." He then turns to the memory AI. "But I can't live like this… I can't live in a fantasy. I have to move on, Caboose. Let them go."
Epsilon stares at Church for a minute and one by one, each member of the Reds and Blues begin to disappear.
"Por fin puedo descansar en paz. Y no tengo que verlos hamas." Lopez murmuró que las había disparado.
(Translation: Finally, I can rest in peace. And I never have to see you all again.)
"You said it, Lopez. You said it." Donut says and he disappears.
"Bye everyone! Bye hot guy!" Sister waves everyone goodbye.
Grif lets out a tired sigh. "What a drag."
"CALL MEEEEEEE!" Grif and his sister then disappear.
"Well, I guess I should say a few parting words, but the truth is I hated every one of you and you all sucked." Sarge said. "I pray to God we don't end up in the same afterlife."
Simmons watches everyone disappear and comes to a crucial realization.
"Wait, so Caboose was God all along. Huh, that explains a lot now that I think about it." Simmons says before he disappears.
Church looks at Tex in silence as she disappears and sighs.
"We'll be here for you, Church! Best friends 4EVER!" Caboose tells him before he logs off.
Natsu leans towards the tiny Church. "You okay, dude?"
The Alpha turns and looks at the dragon slayer. "Yeah, I'm just… tired. I wanna go to sleep."
Just then, the group senses a familiar magic power heading towards them.
"I don't think you'll have time for that." Laxus comments as they see Ivan Dreyar and Georg Reizen descending upon them.
"Well, well, look who decided to visit me. Long time no see, Laxus-chan." Ivan said with his usual smile.
"So these are Fairy Tail's famous dragon slayers. Ha! They're nothing but weaklings!" Georg laughs.
The group notices that there's something different about them. Georg's body is more muscular with colorful scales replacing his skin, and sharp fangs in place of normal teeth. Ivan's features remain the same except for his sharp canines and the black sclera in his eyes. They both also have black metal chokers around their necks.
"Ivan! I see that Asmodeus was unfortunately correct in saying you were involved in this madness!" Makarov roars, disgusted and angered to see his estranged son being involved in something this horrible.
"Damn you, old man! What the hell are you thinking?!" Laxus yells, equally disgusted and angry at seeing his father here looking so smug.
"Why, I'm just here for all the rewards. Power, women, and ruling the multiverse. What more could I ask for?" Ivan arrogantly replies, further infuriating his family members.
Natsu catches a familiar scent and looks at Georg. "Hey. Your scent reminds me of those Dragon Eaters. Are you a member of their guild?
"Indeed, but I'm not just any member! I am Georg Reizen, the founder and leader of Diabolos, composed exclusively of 5th generation Dragon Slayers who kill and eat dragons! Rustyrose promised me ultimate power and a never-ending supply of dragons from across the multiverse, all in exchange for test subjects for his experiments!" Georg cackled.
"Test subjects?" Wendy asked in confusion, before her eyes widened in horror as a dark thought came to mind. "You monster! Did you sacrifice the members of your own guild to Rustyrose?!"
"A small price to pay for this power and all the dragons I can eat. I wouldn't expect a stupid brat like you to understand." Georg scoffs to their shock and disgust.
Natsu's body slowly ignites with red-hot flames as he glares at the two. "Monsters… all of you…!"
"That's a good look on you, Natsu-chan. The face of a true demon. It's the perfect opportunity to test Rusty's new troops." Ivan says and snaps his fingers.
Suddenly, something shoots out of the ground and nine dragon-like humanoids land in front of them, each of them of varying size and appearance.
Wendy's eyes widen as she recognizes some of their scents. "No way… are they…?"
"Meet the new and improved Diabolos! The ultimate Dragon-Eating guild in the entire universe!" Georg proclaims.
"A feat of combining science and magic. They were all spliced with the DNA of your two alien friends, and when you combine that with [Dragon Slaying Magic, the possibilities are just endless!" Ivan cackles while showing off the mutated Dragon/Saiyan hybrids.
"And the greatest part is that they are completely obedient to me! Hahahahaha!" Georg laughs.
The fairies look at the mutated dragon slayers with righteous fury and pity. Just looking at them was disturbing enough, but knowing that their guildmaster was responsible for what looks to be a painful transformation made them feel worse.
"To think you would sink so low, Ivan. You do not deserve to call yourself a guildmaster! None of you do!" Makarov roars at them. "Guilds are supposed to be places where people can come together to forge bonds, to help and support each other in growth of strength and the pursuit of dreams!" He lectures Georg, before looking at Ivan. "I don't know where I went wrong in raising you, Ivan, but this is too far even for you! It appears you are now a true monster in both body and spirit, and you are certainly not my son after all of this!"
"Same here! I already stopped thinking of you as my father a long time ago, but after this, it appears you truly were a monster this whole time!" Laxus roars with lightning surging off his body.
Ivan just laughs. "That's right, that's right! We are no longer family! As far as I am concerned we are nothing but strangers. Enemies destined to fight to the death!" Ivan proclaims. "And you were all fools to come to our den of monsters because now there is no escape for you!"
"You want to play the role of a monster that badly, Ivan? Fine, be one. But that just means I get to play my role." Makarov enlarges himself, increasing his height and muscles.
"As the man that stops the monsters." He declares as he pops his neck and knuckles.
They all charge at each other.
Treasury
"What is this place?" Gajeel asks in wonder as he, Chun-Li, Seilah, Pantherlily and Diana explore a room filled with gold, jewels, and all manner of unique trinkets and relics.
"I sense dread in this place." Panther Lily said.
"If I had to guess, some sort of treasure room or vault." Chun-Li notes, having seen similar rooms when pursuing particularly wealthy criminals and crime syndicates while at Interpol. "Given Rustyrose's clear megalomania and lust, we shouldn't be too surprised he's also overly materialistic."
"That vermin truly is scum. Irene was right in saying that just when we think he can't get any worse, he always finds new ways to prove us wrong." Seilah says darkly.
"Rustyrose is definitely the worst male I have ever met, which isn't easy given how many awful male individuals I have crossed paths with." Diana says in disgust. "The fact that he revived, experimented, and brainwashed poor Brandish's mother just to spite her and for his own gratification is beyond despicable."
The five of them continue moving through the treasure-filled room, before Gajeel suddenly halts the girls.
"I can smell multiple unusual scents coming this way, and the power I sense from them is definitely unusual. Get ready for a fight, everybody." He says to the three females and his Exceed partner.
All of them get into fighting stances while charging their power, before 6 females appear before them.
All of them had distinct beautiful appearances, though each of them possessed extremely curvy bodies and large feminine assets such as K-cup breasts, a clear sign of Rustyrose's experiments.
The first one had a dark complexion with stunning silver hair and wore a black leotard with gold edges and a red gem in front of her large cleavage, along with a black headdress and a black cape attached to golden bracelets attached to her wrist.
The second female is a brunette with white bangs in the front similar to Wanda who wears a yellow and green bodysuit that clings to her body and a brown jacket on top of it.
The third wears an outfit akin to a fusion of a ninja and an S dominatrix based on her black leotard alongside her long black gloves and boots with a red sash around her waist who carried a katana in one hand and generated a blade of pink energy from the other.
The fourth one had black hair, green eyes, and a skin tight set of black pants and sports bra that clung to her body, though the most distinct part of her appearance is the two metal claws on each hand that appeared to pop out of her knuckles.
The fifth one is a tall woman with green skin and an hourglass figure that also had lean yet toned muscles that blended surprisingly well with her curves and feminine assets, wearing a white and purple leotard along with purple gloves and white shoes.
The last woman is a stunning blonde wearing a black leotard with a golden thunderbolt across it, black gloves and thigh-high boots, a red sash on her waist, and a domino mask on her face.
"I don't believe this! Storm! Rogue! Psylocke! Laura! She-Hulk! Ms. Marvel!" Chun-Li says in surprise and horror.
"You know them, Chun-Li?" Seilah asks in curiosity.
Chun-Li reluctantly nods. "They are friends of mine from my universe, and also heroes like Diana."
"Are all female heroes in your universe so drop-dead sexy?" Gajeel asks before getting smacked in the head. "Ow!"
"Shut up, Gajeel, or I will let Levy know you said that." Seilah scolds him, having bonded with the blunette over their love of reading books.
The brainwashed superheroines all rush towards the five.
"Here they come!" Chun-Li says as she activates [Ultra Instinct].
Xeno Goku and Vegeta, along with Super 18 and Perfect Cell, fly through the clouds of the interior band of the ring before stopping at who's before them.
The first is a very muscular man of towering height. He has long spiky black hair reaching down to his thighs with a single shorter bang hanging over his face. He wears a red sleeveless shirt with blue baggy pants and white boots. He has a small scar from the left side of his jawline and the iconic Saiyan tail wiggling behind him.
To his left is a large, humanoid, white, black and blue Dragon. Two large, fleshy horns emerge from the top of his head, and a pair of tiny feelers emerge from his upper lip, giving the appearance of a mustache. Long black spikes protrude from his shoulders, elbows, back, and knees. Two more fleshy spikes protrude from the sides of his chest, and his abdomen and the back of his head are dark blue. On its chest are a set of Dragon Balls, but they were all cracked and blue instead of a brilliant orange.
To his right is a tall muscular man, sporting an athletic build with prominent facial features and a broad jawline, giving the fusion a more mature appearance. He has long flowing black hair extending under his shoulders, which he keeps tucked behind his ears, leaving his shorter bangs hanging above his face. His outfit features blue jeans with a rip over the left thigh, bronze earrings and an orange scarf. He sports a bronze wide belt-buckle with the Red Ribbon logo and a cross over it, dark blue boots with bronze tips, a form-fitting dark blue shirt with missing shoulders and matching gloves and bronze wrist-guards. He also wears brown suspenders and a small brown vest with bronze trimming.
"Wow. Omega Shenron, Super 17, and Cumber. Talk about a blast from the past." Xeno Goku remarks.
Xeno Vegeta scoffs. "Does this Rustyrose expect us to fight against this ragtag bunch of hasbeens? If that's the case, he is severely underestimating us."
"Oh, this is just perfect!" The Saiyans turn to a laughing Cell. "I never thought I would get the chance to fight you. Of all of Gero's creations I've seen, you stood out among them." He slowly levitates forward. "After all, how could such an antiquated, useless, and disgusting piece of scrap like you dare take my place as the Ultimate Android? Frankly, I can't help but feel insulted."
"Don't let your guard down, you two. There's no telling what Rustyrose has done to them." 18 warns the others.
"She's right, Vegeta. We can't treat them like common enemies. We need a plan." Xeno Goku adds.
"I got a plan." Xeno Vegeta powers up to [Super Saiyan 4]. "Attack!"
"Vegeta wait!" Xeno Goku calls out but the Saiyan Prince is already gone.
"Ha! I like this plan!" Cell remarks before charging in as well.
Xeno Goku and 18 both groan before joining the fray.
Halo Control Room
Lamy, Ur, and Lucy teleport in a large, dome-shaped room featuring a massive hologram of Halo and a hologram of Earthland at the center. Suspended in the air is a large circular catwalk around the planet.
"So this is the control room." Ur says as she looks around.
"This is incredible." Lucy marveled.
"Less amazement, more focus. We got a job to do." Lamy steps forward. "Ready, Delta?"
A small green hologram appears next to Lamy. "Affirmative."
Holographic screens appear as Lamy accesses the facility's systems. She takes a chip of sorts from her coat pocket and places it on a holographic slot causing the projection of the planet to change into Delta's head.
"I am in. But the primary controls for the installation are heavily protected." Delta said.
"As expected. How long will it take you to gain access?" Lamy asks.
"If I use all of my functions, I should have enough power to break through the firewalls. However, during this time all of my other faculties will be disabled. I will not be able to speak with you nor can I be removed from the system until my task is complete." Delta explains.
Lamy nods. "That's fine, Delta. Do what you have to."
"Very well. Good luck to you all." The head of Delta then turns back into Earthland.
"We need to be ready for whatever surprises that cockroach Rustyrose may have for us. This is his base and it may have all sorts of nasty surprises, so stay on guard." Lamy warns her two companions.
"You don't need to tell me twice. That son of a bitch is crafty and despicable. Though hopefully we can rescue all the poor women that the bastard is using in the process." Ur said.
"No kidding. It was bad enough that Rusty not only kidnapped and brainwashed my ancestor Anna, but even revived my mother for the sake of becoming his sex doll! And now he does the same to poor Brandish's mother, not to mention kidnap and brainwash my friend Yukino?!" Lucy exclaims in fury.
"We'll free all of them, Lucy-san. Just like we did with your mother and my daughter." Ur reassures her. "I'm actually looking forward to meeting Meredy."
"Really? I thought you would be a little nervous. Considering she's Ultear's foster daughter, that essentially makes Meredy your granddaughter in a way." Lucy comments.
"Yeah, I definitely have a little mixed feelings about essentially being a grandma, but given that I was dead for years and I'm essentially immortal now, I'll just have to adapt and get used to it." Ur comments with a shrug.
Just then, they felt an ominous energy and they saw Jenny, Yukino, and Meredy appear behind them.
"Whores of Asmodeus, I have come to claim you as my latest slaves." Meredy boasted, or rather, Rusty boasted through the [Sensory Link]. His blank stare transformed into a malicious grin. "Is this a bad time?"
"Oh crap." Lamy pulls out a pair of twin guns from under her coat, one black and one white.
(AN: Yeah, they're Alucard's guns. I already made Lamy look like his loli form, so you knew this was coming)
"I'm not one of Asmodeus' lovers. But even if I was, hell would freeze over before I became your slave, you sick bastard!" Lucy yells, a deep sense of rage and disgust being displayed that was shared with her two companions.
"Quite frankly, I think the only reason why you kidnap and brainwash women is because no female would ever WILLINGLY enter into a relationship with you. You're so horrible and pathetic with an inability to accept reality that you need to resort to the most extreme and despicable measures like this." Lamy insults.
"Indeed, you truly are the most pathetic piece of shit in all of Earthland that every woman would be disgusted with! Your time of reckoning is coming, you son of a bitch! For everything you did to my daughter and all those innocent women!" Ur roars as she activates her [Fairy Heart] form while charging her various other forms of power, with Lucy and Lamy doing the same with their power.
Rusty just looks amused. "Are you sure you want to fight your friends? Your own granddaughter?" He makes Meredy sensually trace her hands across her figure. "Are you sure you have it in you to hurt ME, grandma?"
"Don't you dare speak in her voice, you monster!" Ur angrily yelled. "Meredy, if you can hear me, don't worry, we will free you soon so just sit tight, okay?"
Rusty giggles. "That's adorable. But do you think you can defeat me without your precious Master?"
"We don't think. We know. And when we're done, you will wish you were never born." Lucy says as her body is enveloped in a golden aura.
Lamy points her guns at Rusty.
"Well then, ladies." Rusty summons a multitude of light swords to her side. "Show me what you got!"
In the empty halls, a large shadow can be seen slowly making itself large with weighted steps until a familiar figure appears.
"Where is that damn teleporter? There's gotta be one here somewhere." I growled.
[I would advise you not to get agitated. It will only accelerate the Dark Factor virus]
"How the hell is Towa able to do this!? She shouldn't be able to breach my defenses!" I said.
[Normally, you'd be correct. But Towa is a genius and adept Demon Sorceress, she likely created a concoction that can bypass your natural defenses and attack your very being directly]
"Now you tell me…" I murmured before jolting from the burning pain in my chest. "Gah!" Horns begin to protrude from my head, the body grows slightly and my arms become darker.
God… it was getting worse. The transformations are becoming stronger and aggressive by the second, and I can feel myself getting weaker each time.
"How much… time… do I have left…?" I wheezed out.
[Impossible to know at this point. Could be a few minutes… or a few seconds]
"Then I better… make it worth it…!" I force the [Dark Factor] back and return to normal. I keep moving until I see a light coming just ahead and find that it's from an open elevator.
"Finally… progress." I mutter as I pull myself into the elevator.
However, no sooner than he did, the doors clam shut and the elevator began to move without my input.
"Wha…?" I turn to the elevator controls which are going crazy. "That's not right."
[Maybe the elevator's h-h-h-h-hunted!]
"It's probably just a malfunction. Should be easy enough to fix." I reach towards the color panel and pull the metal lid revealing its wiring. "Wish I had my screwdriver right about now." I reach for one of the circuit boards only to be attacked by a jolt of electricity.
"Keep your squishy meat sausages away from my circuits or else I will fry your fingers… AND THEN FORCE THEM DOWN YOUR FUCKING THROAT SO YOU CAN CHOKE ON THEM! HAHAHAHA!" A low, beast-like voice booms through the elevator's intercom.
[That's not Towa… or Rusty for that matter]
A hologram appears of a humanoid wearing black armor.
After getting the clone's memories, I knew he summoned the Alpha A.I. aka Church, along with Kisuke, Kaguya, and Dlanor.
But, this isn't Church. He is too… angry. I mean yeah, Church also gets angry, but he's more "you're getting on my nerves" angry. This one radiates "you touch my shit I'm gonna kill you in the worst way imaginable" kind of angry.

Thoughts about you: TASTE OBLIVION!
Current Status: Servant (Permanent)
"Omega, what the hell are you doing? How are you even here?" I ask in annoyance. "I'm trying to escape, in case you haven't noticed."
"Talk about ungrateful, you little dipshit! I'll get you where you need to go, so keep your fucking hands to yourself!" Omega barks. "As for your other question, that asshole in clogs fucking split us from the Alpha… AND THAT FUCKING HURT!" He raged. "HE BETTER HOPE I DON'T SEE HIM AGAIN BECAUSE I WILL MAIN HIM! I WILL MAIN HIM AND ALL OF HIS FAMILY!"
I only sigh in response at the AI's ranting.
'Out of all the AI I could cross paths with first, I had to get Omega.' I thought.
Suddenly the elevator stops and the doors open.
"We have arrived at your destination. I hope you're ready… for OBLIVION! HUHUHUHUAHAHAHAHA!" Omega cackles.
"Yeah, yeah." I step out of the elevator and see no teleporters anywhere. "Hey! This is the wrong floor, asshole!"
"Fuck you, motherfucker, I said I was gonna take you where you needed to go! I never said it was where you wanted to go." Omega reveals and laughs.
I rush to the elevator but Omega closes the doors. "Ah, ah. No free rides."
I bang at the doors. "Let me in, you psychotic piece of shit!"
"Oooh, I'm so scared of a dead man. Have fun in oblivion, shitface! Huhuhuhuhuhuhoho!" Omega cackles as I hear the elevator go down.
"Fuck!" I kick at the door. "Fucking asshole. Who does he think he is?"
[Was that rhetorical or are you seriously asking me?]
"Ugh, I hope there's another way outta here." I groaned before turning away from the elevator.
[Huh, now that's odd. Sparda is acting unusual in your inventory]
"Wait, what?" I quickly pull the [Sparda] from my [Inventory] and see that it is… pulsing?
"Okay, what the fuck?"
[You got me. This has never happened before]
I raise the sword forward and feel the pulse getting stronger.
"Guess it wants me to go somewhere. Eh, stranger things have happened, but hopefully it's something good." I said as I followed the sword.
I walk through a series of turns and corridors, with the [Sparda] to guide me. Eventually, I went down a path and found myself standing before a locked door. I place my hand on the door and the [Dark Matter] dissolves it in an instant before I get blasted by frigid air.
I walk inside and find an unusual freezer-like room filled with pods similar to the ones Towa had in her lab.
"More test subjects? Good lord, how many people did they experiment on, and why keep some here instead of in Towa's lab?" I questioned.
[Who knows on both counts. Based on the nature of the pods and the cold, these people are likely in stasis because they are considered the more "troublesome" subjects. The people that Rustyrose and Towa couldn't bend to their control]
I walk towards one of the pods but I can't see inside because of the thick sheet of frost in the glass.
"How long have they been here?" I murmur as I break the sheet of ice and see who's inside.
Inside the pod is a beautiful woman with long vibrant red hair. She wears a white jumpsuit with golden boots and gloves that hugs her hourglass figure nicely with some kind of bird symbol in the middle, making her large K-cup breasts and hips stand out, along with a gold sash around her waist.

Thoughts about you: n/a
"Holy shit. It's Jean Grey! Those idiots actually kidnapped Jean Grey, the vessel of the [Phoenix Force] herself! I don't know if I should be amazed at their boldness or be frightened at the risk they are taking!" I exclaimed.
[They are arrogant and power-hungry with grand ambitions, so it could be both. But the fact that she has her white suit means she's the White Phoenix, meaning she's at her strongest and with full mastery of the Phoenix Force]
"That's awesome! The last thing the multiverse needs is an enhanced [Dark Phoenix] running around the multiverse fucking it all up." I grimaced at the thought, remembering some of the comics where Jean Grey was psychotic and sadistic in that state, nearly killing the X-Men on multiple occasions and eating stars.
Yeah, you heard that right. She ate stars! Fucking STARS!
"Her stats are glitched. But I guess that's what happens when you have full control over a cosmic entity with limitless power." I remarked.
[Modifications aside, you can't deny she's hot as hell! No wonder Scott and Logan fought over her and is regarded as one of Marvel's hottest females! She is the OG waifu before waifus were even a thing!]
"Yeah, she is pretty hot." I nodded.
[You thinking about hooking up with her when all of this stuff is over?]
"Don't tempt me, man." I said. "Plus, she's likely married to Scott, and I'm not really into that NTR crap."
[Smart answer, but she's definitely fair game if she isn't married. Most versions of Scott are assholes with some being cheating bastards, after all]
*BA~BUMP!* *BA~BUMP!* *BA~BUMP!* *BA~BUMP!* *BA~BUMP!*
I look down and feel the sword's pulsing growing stronger. I raise it and move through the dozens of pods, most are empty while a few are occupied.
Eventually, I found something that got my attention. A single, large pod tucked away in the furthest part of the freezer, almost forgotten.
I look at [Sparda] and it reacts strongly to the pod. "Is this what you've guiding toward?"
Obviously, the sword couldn't answer my question, but if it could, I think it would nod.
I stab the sword on the floor and walk closer to the pod. "What are you?" I touch the glass and the surface lights up, revealing a complex magic formula. "Some kind of seal… and an extremely complex one at that." I read some of the symbols in the outer layer. "Looks like this thing's purpose is to contain and absorb the energy from the occupant. It's keeping them in a comatose-like state, the mind's completely shut off."
[But that can't be why the Sparda brought us here]
"No…" I narrow my eyes and notice a barely visible silhouette. "There's something else inside the pod. It's probably the anchor to the seal."
[You think this could be the same person that destroyed a portion of Towa's lab?]
"Possibly. Although Jean over there could pull it off, too…" I said.
*BA-BUMP!*
"Aah!" I collapse as the [Dark Factor] sets in again, changing me back into the [Dark King].
"Grr… STOP IT!" I ordered. "I WILL NOT… CHANGE! DO YOU HEAR ME!? I REFUSE!" The transformation regresses and I return to normal.
I grab on the edge of the pod and pull myself up. "... fighting it for so long. I can't hold back the changes anymore…!"
[The corruption is spreading faster than I can stop it! I'm sorry…]
I look at the sheet of ice. "Maybe there's another way…" I slowly slide my way to the middle. "If I can use the anchor… the source of the seal, I may be able to halt the corruption. Restore me back to normal."
[But we'd also be releasing whoever's inside the pod. They could kill us!]
"And if we don't, then everything we've worked towards would have been for naught." I argued.
[I have a bad feeling about this]
"The feeling is mutual…" I use [Almighty Magic] to grab the magic formula and destroy it instantly.
Immediately, the pod begins to glow purple before it explodes, sending me crashing into one of the empty pods.
"Ow…" I moan before quickly tilting my head right as the [Sparda] stabs itself to said area.
*CLICK*
And then I heard it… the sound of heels clicking as a figure walks out of them. No, that's not right. The smoke itself seemed to part ways because of their presence.
And then… I see it.
In front of me is a beautiful young girl with long white hair, wearing what appears to be a short but form-fitting black dress over a white armored corset with magenta accents with black fur around her neck connected to the dress with a golden brooch. She wears long black boots with gold heels and long black leggings. She wears a white glove with an orange palm on her right hand while her left arm is largely encompassed with a black glove with glowing magenta lines. But what draws my attention is the longsword plunged right where her heart is and just how unfazed she is by it.
She has beautiful yet menacing golden cross-shaped eyes. They were cold, calculating, and promised no mercy. A gaze I am all too well familiar with.

'What the hell!?' I thought.
[We are in deep shit, man]
Silver eyes stare back at gold for a few minutes until she does something unexpectedly.
She… chuckled?
"You do not fear me. Even though you are in such close proximity, I do not sense any fear at all from you. Amusing." Sirin's smile quickly transforms into a blank stare. "Who are you, vermin? Answer me."
I can feel the insane pressure she is sending me through her gaze alone, like someone had increased the gravity in the room by a million.
But despite this, I manage to stand tall before this monster.
"My name is Asmodeus. I am not here to fight. I just wanna talk." I said with passion.
Sirin stares at me with bated silence before opening her mouth. "... why are you here?"
"My friends and I were brought here by Rustyrose and Towa. They want to turn this multiverse into their playhouse." I replied.
A menacing dark aura surrounds Sirin at the mention of the name.
"Rustyrose… that human and the demon bitch froze me after having their way with me. They experimented on me, thinking that I could be controlled, but they were wrong. Herrscher does not yield, we conquer and destroy." Sirin's expression turns into a cruel and twisted smile. "The witch may have evaded me, but the same cannot be said for his human pet as I made him a fool, made his power nothing but a simple light show. Then, I had my fun." A dark purple aura surrounds her. "I tore him to pieces. I plucked out his eyes, charred his skin, tore off his limbs and removed his lungs and larynx. I showered him with [Honkai Energy] and I watched him wry in slow and painful agony as my power ate away at his living remains like cancer." She then sneers as her anger flares. "But before I could finish him off, that old hag stabbed me with this cursed sword, and used that moment of confusion to seal me away."
[That would explain why there are so many empty pods. Rusty and Towa must have thrown them at her to buy time. They must have been vaporized instantly from the exposure]
Sirin glares at the sword in her chest. "But now it's no longer a factor."
Sirin grabs the blade, and with a simple tug, pulls the sword out of her chest with ease.
Dark violet energy begins to surge within her body, bathing her body with a power I've never felt before.
It was as if I was staring at the universe itself.
"Haa, my strength returns." The hole in her chest closes immediately. "Still, I should thank you for freeing me." Sirin smiles. "It is the least I can do."
"Um, I don't think that's necessary." I said.
"Oh." Her smile turns dark. "I insist."
*SQUELCH!*
Before I can even sense or detect it, the longsword that was in her hand is now plunged through my chest, the speed and force of it sending crashing straight into an empty pod.
"Gck!" I vomit blood with a look of shock in my face at what just happened.
[I… she bypassed our Radar. Just what the hell is she?!]
Sirin then opens a portal behind her. "I believe this is where we must part ways. I have spent enough time in this wretched place, it merely proves that you humans are as vile, greedy, and worthless no matter where in space and time you choose to fester. Your very concept is a sin that has to be wiped out." She enters the vortex before sending her "savior" one last, spiteful look.
"I hereby declare Judgment on the multiverse. I will eradicate every single one of you pathetic and vile humans out of this plane of existence! Even if that takes me to the end of time itself!" With her declaration made, Sirin enters the portal and disappears.
"Agh… fuck." I groan as I grab the blade of the sword.
[That crazy bitch apparently didn't realize that if Rusty succeeds in remaking the Multiverse, she'll be affected regardless. Not even she could resist the combined might of all 7 Chaos Emeralds. Talk about lack of hindsight]
I grit my teeth as I pull the sword out of my chest. Unknown to me though, the blood from my chest and hands travels down from the blade to the skull-shaped guard, drenching it in blood.
*CLICK!*
Suddenly the crossguard unfolds into two, the dormant skulls on the guard transform into screaming skulls and the pommel splits into several spikes.
I pull the blade out and throw it across the room, stabbing itself into the floor.
I push myself out of the pod and look down as my body is surrounded by a dark energy, different from my [Aura].
"Ha!" I scream as I transform into my [Dark King] form, but unlike before I am not wracked in pain. In fact, I feel pretty good. Completely energized!

I turn my attention to the sword stabbed on the floor and walk towards it. I pull it out and take a good look at it.
[Rebellion] - Rank: EX
Dante's signature sword, almost never seen without it (and his guns). A remarkably powerful magical sword, it is sharp enough to pierce the surface of the Savior's body while it is powered by the Sparda. It is also one of the most durable objects in the series, capable of withstanding hits from the space-cutting blade Yamato, as well as a direct punch from the Savior.
It is the opposite of the Yamato, as while the Yamato embodies "Separation", the Rebellion embodies "Unification". It has the ability to fuse a person's different attributes into one, creating an entirely new entity with unmatched power, though the user must willingly impale themselves with an awakened Rebellion to do it.
"Dante's [Rebellion]. So Rusty even went to the Devil May Cry universe." I surmised.
[They must have been using it as some sort of amplifier for the sealing spell. Stabbing it directly into the source of her being for maximum effect]
I smile as I twirl [Rebellion] around my fingers, swifting between my Saiyan, angel, and demon forms.
"Oh yeah!" I cackle with glee as I return to normal. "We're back in business baby!"
[Man, it's been a long time since I've seen you this excited. I assume you have something up your sleeve?]
"Hehehe… you know it! Those idiots don't even realize that I already won!" I gesture to the line of pods before me. "Rusty and Towa have all these girls locked up and frozen because they couldn't control them. Imagine just how much they're itching for some payback."
[So you want to set these girls loose on the Halo Ring? I can definitely see the kind of destruction they can make if their notoriety is anything to go by]
"And while they cause mayhem, we'll sneak in and cut off Rusty and Towa's head and then afterwards, we'll all sail through time and space on my castle and have an orgy! Hahaha!" I cackled.
[Are you okay? You seem a little… I don't know… off]
"I-I don't know, but I feel so light! Complete even!" I then remembered something. "Hey, I just remembered I still have those [Max-Level Skill Tokens]. I think I have five of them or something."
I browse my inventory and quickly find the tokens. I immediately use them on five skills.
Following skills have been maxed out!
[Unlimited Blade Works LVL. 10/10]
[Roar of Time LVL. 10/10]
[Spatial Rend LVL. 10/10]
[Shadow Force LVL. 10/10]
[Perfect Unknowable LVL. 10/10]
"Brilliant! Isn't this just brilliant!?" I laughed. "And here comes the best part!" I use my [Psionic Manipulation] and unlock all of the pods in the room. Each one of them releases hiss of compressed air as the glass lids unfold.
"And now," I transform into my [Super Saiyan 4]. "For my next trick!" The massive head of the King of Hell rises from a ring of purple flames behind me.
I turn around as the summon opens its mouth and six figures emerge.
"Welcome back ladies. Time to get this party started!" I yelled as I instantly received a barrage of max affection notifications for every female in front of me.
Back in the Aincrad
Pink monsters fall as they are engulfed in magic fire as multiple shadows are running forward.
"We're close. The engine room is just ahead." Irene says to her group.
With Irene are Cana, Mammon, Belial, Sariel, Mercphobia, the Heartfilias, Wanda Zatara, Kaguya, Tempester, Larcade, Shizuka, Luso and Torafuzar.
"We need to hurry, there's no telling how much time we have left before the engine explodes!" Cana says as she and the others wipe out another incoming horde of monsters.
Merchphobia summons a tidal wave and washes the rest of the monsters.
The view switches to Kisuke monitoring everyone's progress from [Satan's Soul] with Faris, Touka, and Lady Avalon.
"You're 60 meters from the Engine Room. Just keep going forward." Kisuke told them.
The group keeps their pace until they stop at the sounds of metal cracking.
"What was that?" An anxious Mammon asks.
Kisuke checks the schematics. "You're right on top of the primary fuel cell."
"S-s-so, what?" Layla asks.
"S-s-so… all of the fuel's been drained." Kisuke mutters. "Meaning the rods are exposed, and if they're exposed then they'll start to cool down and wrap. Maybe even…"
"... break apart." Shizuka realizes in horror.
*BANG!*
A steel beam suddenly bursts out from the wall narrowly missing Anna's head.
"Run!" Everyone quickly makes a run for it as more rods shoot from all over the place.
"Keep running! The engine room entrance is just ahead!" Kisuke told them before letting out a tired sigh.
"You okay, Kisuke-kun?" Avalon asks.
Kisuke takes a deep breath. "I'm fine. I'm just a bit out of practice when it comes to leading a unit. A hundred-year exile can do that to you." He then flips to any screen. "How's the progress on your end?"
Dlanor slices a group of monsters to bits with her red and blue energy swords.
"Progress is slow but steady." Dlanor slashes another monster. "These creatures have proven to be incredibly stubborn."
"While they are much weaker, they have an advantage in sheer numbers. They can be birthed from all of that gray stuff around you." Kisuke said.
Kyôka freezes the Majin in place with [Macro] and then elegantly slices them to pieces with her [Tenga Goken].
Meanwhile, the Sagiri twins slash through the monsters while Konomi finishes them off with precise shots to their supposed vital areas.
Chisato kicks a few monsters aside and uses her magic to flash freeze them.
Jellal and Dimaria right hooked the monsters in the face before firing ki blasts at point-blank, vaporizing them in an instant. Gildarts rushes through the horde and taps on them causing their bodies to break down to nothing in an instant.
"I've got a question for you, top hat. If these can just respawn," he grabs a monster's head and lets it turn into dust "then why aren't we going after the source of it all!?"
"Because one, there's already another group heading there right now. And two, retaking the main control room is just as vital. We'll need it if we really want to escape this place." Kisuke told him. "Besides, attacking the source won't stop the monsters from coming. The only way to do that is to cut off the [Chaos Energy] directly which also means stopping the engines from exploding."
A small hologram of a Blue/Magenta humanoid in armor appears sitting on Gildarts' shoulder.
"You know, you should have more trust in Mr. Kisuke. His plan is straightforward and easy to understand." The A.I. says in a child-like voice.
Gildarts sighs. "I know he means well, Theta. I just wanna get this done so that we can get out of here."
Theta puts his hands on the back of his head. "Yeah, I hear ya. This place gives me the creeps."
"Unfortunately, we will need to put up with this until we can secure the base and destroy all of them." 21 replies as she blasts a pink barrier and clears a path. "C'mon, hurry!"
Kisuke watches everyone head further to their destination and sighs. "It won't be long now…"
"Indeed." A gold/orange hologram appears next to Kisuke. "This Rustyrose has gone through a lot of lengths to keep us contained. But he should have realized by now we cannot be stopped." The hologram's smile widened. "Nothing can stop us."
Faris and Touka share a look of worry as they watch everyone move onwards while Lady Avalon smiles.
The group stops at a large space and a door just ahead.
"The control room is just ahead. Let's go." Chisato steps forward but quickly jumps back as four flying kunai nearly impale her.
From the shadows, two figures reveal themselves. The first is an extremely beautiful woman with long black hair with a small blue tint and charcoal black eyes. Her outfit consisted of a midnight blue long-sleeved shirt and skirt that were further covered by a purple and a white sash that clings to her extremely curvy hourglass figure, heart-shaped ass, and large K-cup breasts, with a bandaged right thigh that also has a ninja kunai holster tied to it, and ninja sandals.
Next to her is a slightly tall, lean built woman, who has lightly tanned skin, with long blue hair and violet eyes. Her style of clothing mostly consists of punk fashion such as fishnet stockings, a raggedy tank top, a purple mini skirt, and a long black jacket, along with a matching set of black combat boots and gauntlets. She also dons a demonic-looking red mask with two white tusks under the mouth that covers her entire face, giving her a menacing and murderous presence.
That said, her outfit does nothing to hide her extremely curvy hourglass figure, apple-shaped ass, and large K-cup breasts.
"Sayo, no…" Yuko whispers in horror.
"Focus, Yuko. Here they come." Yoko told her.
The two brainwashed women lunged at them, ready to kill without mercy.
At the same time, Irene and her group manage to get inside the engine room. There, they see the altar and the seven emeralds inside a ring of negative energy and send it downwards to the entire structure as stray black lighting rains down.
"How are we supposed to stop this?" Anna asks.
Just then, a figure lands in between them and the altar. She is a beautiful dark-skinned woman with long purple hair tied into a long ponytail and stunning golden eyes wearing a black leotard that exposed much of her back that clung to her voluptuous hourglass figure and emphasized her large K-cup breasts and shapely ass, long black fingerless gloves, and thigh-high black boots. She was giving off a lightning-based surge of power that seemed spiritual in nature, not unlike their [Aura].
Kisuke's eyes widened in shock and horror. "Crap. So, Rustyrose even got to you, Yoruichi?"
"Do you know her, Kisuke-san?" Faris asked nervously.
"Yeah. She's a lifelong friend of mine named Yoruichi Shihoin." Kisuke told her.
"Do you remember Master's warning, Kisuke-san? That there was a chance that someone you knew might be under their control? Master has noticed that many of Rustyrose and Towa's brainwashed victims are connected to our friends and allies." Lady Avalon notes.
"That's not what I'm worried about, Avalon. I'm worried about whether they can beat her [Shunryū Kokubyō Senki]." Kisuke nervously chuckles. "She's already a fickle person normally. Imagine her having the moodiness of a cat."
Yoruichi zig-zags around the room with lightning-fast speeds before she rockets towards the group.
At the same time, August and the remaining members of Fairy Tail reach the inner sanctum of Cerebro where the source of the infection is.
"What is this stuff anyway? It's all over my pants." Wakaba shakes his right leg, attempting to get gum-like substance off.
"This stuff is gross!" Romeo gagged.
Just then, the slime around the A.I. core takes the form of a face as it stares down at them with malice.
"?" Majin Buu was curious and perplexed by their appearance.
"Disgusting creature." Juvia hissed.
"Get ready everyone." August told them.
Majin Buu smiles as multiple copies of Kid Buu rise from every corner of the room, each of them sporting large inhuman grins on their faces.
Meanwhile
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
Iron clashes against iron, sparks fly as their respective wielders stare at each other with different expressions: one pleading and the other blank.
"Kagura, you must fight this!" Erza screams out. "You are not Rustyrose's slave, you are Kagura Mikazuchi, proud member of Mermaid Heel! The little sister of Simon, my best friend!"
Kagura replied with a kick to her abdomen, sending the Titania backwards and her [Aura] to flicker.
"I suppose I have no choice. [Requip: Thousand Arms Armor]!" She transforms and quickly rushes towards her opponent.
"HAAA!" Mira and Ultear launch a fury of punches at Minerva, but the punches never reach their target.
"Knock, knock." A robot voice catches their attention.
"Not now, Gamma. I'm trying to win here." Ultear yelled.
Ultear goes for a downward swipe but immediately finds herself free falling and crashing into one of the large incubators. She uses [Arc of Time] to heal herself, but quickly finds that she has been taken to an entirely different location.
"Dammit!" Ultear snapped.
"So, are you winning yet?" Gamma asks.
Mira raises her arms and summons a ring to black energy orbs behind her before firing them at unmatched speeds.
Minerva, however, doesn't move as the attack draws closer and slams into an invisible wall before detonating on impact.
Mira cups her hands to the side and begins charging up her magic and [Ki] and converges it in a single point.
"Soul… Kamehameha!" Mira fires a fusion of her [Soul Extinctor] and the [Black Kamehameha] at Minerva, only for the beam to slip into two the moment it gets close to Minerva, destroying everything that was behind her.
"What!?" Mira sees the space around her getting smaller before it suddenly bursts in a brilliant explosion that engulfs the platform they're standing on.
Brandish sees the explosion and quickly teleports while her mother leaps off just as the explosion reaches where they stood.
"She's going to die." Gamma comments as he and Ultear watch the explosion unfold.
"No. In fact, you could say this is where the real fight starts." Ultear responds in a cool tone, clearly not worried in the slightest.
Minerva stares at the large plume of smoke and burning ash but quickly sees a silhouette inside.
"There's no question. Rustyrose did make you stronger. If I didn't have this form I would be dead." The smoke disperses, revealing Mira unharmed but looking different. She's taller now, and her figure is more filled out. Her hair's longer and gains blue highlights at the tips. She has two black horns on both sides of her head connected by a crown of black feathers and her eyes turn amethyst purple.
She wears a skimpy outfit consisting of purple and black robes with gold edges that exposed her abdomen and much of her breasts much like her base [Satan Soul] form with two shoulder pauldrons covering her shoulders.
"[Satan Soul: Lilith]. My magic has transcended beyond human limits." Mira states, her voice firm and regal. "I developed this form using the power I possess as a [Transcendent] in conjunction with the other forms of power I acquired thanks to Asmodeus-kun. The best part is that it grants me access to the abilities of all my prior forms and so much more! The culmination of a [Transcendent]'s full power!"
Minerva waves her hands as she distorts space around her.
"[You are not allowed to use your Magic Power]." Mira commands.
In an instant, space returns to normal as Minerva's magic is completely halted.
"This is one of Lilith's powers: [Command Mantra]. It compels absolute control to anyone who hears my voice." Mira states.
Minerva's dark aura suddenly flares and grows bigger. She lets out an ear-piercing roar as she is seemingly consumed by a pillar of dark-blue [Negative Chaos Energy, which intensifies the power she already has.
"!?" Mira watches on in shock as Minerva's body turns jet black to the point that the only thing visible are her eyes. Her sclera glows white while lacking any irises.
'What's this? Her power suddenly skyrocketed. Could the [Negative Chaos Energy] have given her some kind of transformation?' Mira wondered with slight interest. "[Prostrate before me]."
Immediately, Minerva finds herself prostrating before the She-Demon.
However, to Mirajane's surprise, she sees the brainwashed mage slowly pushing herself upwards.
"Her current form is strong enough to resist my [Command Mantra]? That's concerning." Mira remarked.
Minerva launches herself at Mira and goes for a swipe at her neck, but the transcendent Take Over mage catches the attack and blasts with chaos-infused ki at point-blank creating an explosion that sends her crashing through several pillars before stopping.
Mira uses Chaos Control to appear in front of Minerva and finds her buried in a pile of ruined metal and glass.
"Sorry. It's a little hard holding myself back when I'm in this form." Mira said with a nervous chuckle. "Last time, I almost destroyed the Hyperbolic Time Chamber just from a blast like that. Good to see that the training came through in the end."
She grabs Minerva's hand and starts siphoning her [Negative Chaos Energy]. "Asmodeus-kun taught us how to sense, harness, and even strip someone of [Chaos Energy] and add it to our own. Don't worry, once I'm done, you'll be back to normal."
Minerva's body turns to normal as more power is drained from her and quickly loses consciousness.
"There you go. You'll be alright now." Mira's body jolts as dark-blue sparks shoot out of her. "Whoa! This [Negative Chaos Energy] is no joke. I would have been in serious trouble if I hadn't mastered control of it beforehand."
"I know what you mean." Brandish's voice calls out, causing Mirajane to then turns towards the voice to see Brandish carrying her unconscious mother.
"Brandish?" Mirajane glances at the unconscious woman in her arms. "Are… are you okay?"
Brandish sighs. "Honestly I don't know. Half of me is overjoyed to see my mother alive, while the other half is enraged that she had been desecrated to fulfill a twisted desire." She looks at her mother. "I didn't want my mother to suffer anymore, so I quickly used the chains of my [Semblance] and augmented them with [Chaos Energy] before knocking her out." She explains. "I hope Asmodeus-sama finds Rusty and puts an end to this nightmare forever."
"Me too, but for now, we need to find Erza and Kagura." Mirajane says before the duo leave to help their comrade.
Meanwhile, Erza spams ki blasts at Kagura who simply slices them in half as she makes her way towards her at insane speeds.
Deciding to take it a step further, Erza activates her [Semblance] and summons her [Scarlet Legion] as an army of energy clones wearing her various armors appear beside her.
"Hang on, Kagura! This will all be over soon!" Erza and her army charge at Kagura countless flurries of slashes and stabs through their weapons that were gradually overwhelming her, with Erza launching a myriad of Ki blades that engulfed her in an explosion.
Kagura then suddenly explodes in an influx of [Negative Chaos Energy], destroying all of the copies as her body takes on a dark-blue hue with her skin taking on a darker tanned color, and her eyes become sharper.
"... so that's how it's going to be. So be it." With that, Erza transforms into another armor, one that no one has seen before.
She wears an illustrious armor that is both silver and a shade of red similar to her hair that exposes much of her thighs and hips as well as a small, revealing breastplate that exposes the top part of her breasts. She wears a pair of armored boots that reach up to her knees and a pair of gauntlets with spiked knuckles. She has rectangular double-piece pauldrons and a fused collar with a cape made up of eight feather-like sections attached. Floating above her head is a red double layered halo that seems to be missing a few pieces.
"[Chaos Titania Armor]. Asmodeus-kun forged this during our two years of training while Irene empowered it with [Chaos Energy] and [Dragon Slayer Magic]." Erza's expression is one brimming with determination. "I swear I will use this power to pull you from the darkness!"
Kagura stands still before suddenly appearing in front of Erza, sword held up high and ready to cut through her.
*CLANG!*
Erza caught the chaos-infused blade with her armored hand. The brainwashed magic swordswoman tries to pull away but her weapon won't budge.
She then pulls Kagura and bombards her with a barrage of super-fast heavy blows all over her body before finishing it with an axe kick, sending Kagura crashing through dozens of platforms until reaching the bottom.
"..." Erza glances at Kagura's katana, [Archenemy, on the floor and picks it up. However, it isn't long before Kagura flies back to her, her injuries nonexistent.
"... you never used your magic since we started fighting, or even your [Style of the Undrawn Long Sword]. You've just been using your physical strength." Erza said. "Even though you can't speak, I can sense the conflict inside you. You're fighting Rustyrose's control, but it's taking too much out of you. It won't be long before the [Negative Chaos Energy] takes you over completely."
Kagura's blank expression doesn't change but there is a slight twitch in her right hand.
Erza throws [Archenemy] at Kagura and she catches it before summoning a weapon of her own. It is a greatsword with a tear-drop shaped pommel set with a ruby the size of a small egg. The hilt was wrapped with silver wire. The blade itself was blood red with a strange-looking black symbol etched on it.
The sword's name is [Ithring]. It was forged by Asmodeus and enchanted by both him and Irene, multiplying her attack power ten-thousand fold and allows her to better harness [Chaos Energy].
It is a beautiful sword, there's no questioning it. However, it radiated with so much pain and bloodlust that it would drive most people away.
Erza, however, was not like most people.
"Come, Kagura." She raises her sword and takes a stance. "It's time to end this. I will set you free right now!"
With her declaration, Erza charges forward, her armor empowering her with both Asmodeus' [Chaos Energy] and Irene's [Sage Dragon Slayer Magic], enhancing her to a level never before seen in this or any world.
Kagura lunges at her opponent, her blade raised as it is enveloped in a dark-blue aura, ready to deliver a lethal blow.
*SHING!*
In an instant, the two warriors end on opposite ends of where they both used to stand, with neither of them moving a muscle.
*CLANG!*
Erza's blade falls from her grasp as she takes a knee. She gasps in pain as her [Aura] completely dissipates and clutches onto her side tightly.
Erza glances back at the standing Kagura. "You've gotten stronger but…"
*Craaaaaack~*
Erza smiles. "I'm afraid this is my win."
*CRACK!*
The upper half of [Archenemy] falls loudly to the metal floor before Kagura falls on all fours, defeated.
Erza dismisses her armor and slowly stands up. She doesn't let the immense pain on her side stop her as she approaches her friend.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through this, Kagura. Just wait and Asmodeus-kun will free you from that monster's control."
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Kagura suddenly lets out an ear-piercing scream as she tightly clutches her head before promptly collapsing on the floor, her transformation undone.
"KAGURA!" Erza quickly kneels next to Kagura and checks for a pulse and sighs in relief. "She's alive, just out cold."
"Whoa." Titania looks up as Ultear and Gamma descend next to her. "Looks like I missed quite a lot."
"And it was completely worth it." Gamma adds.
Erza turns her attention back to Kagura. "She screamed. I don't know what caused it, Ultear, but I can tell she was in pain."
"Yeah. I heard them all on my way back." Ultear said.
Just then, Mirajane and Brandish fly towards them carrying both of their respective opponents.
"Okay, does anyone have any idea what just happened? Why did mom and Minerva suddenly scream their lungs out like that?" Brandish asks in concern, worried about her mother.
"I think..." Ultear tries to find the words. "I think they're free from his mind control."
"Not that I want to doubt you, Ultear, but are you sure?" Mirajane asks for confirmation.
"You must have sensed the change in their energy by now, Mirajane-san. The oppressive energy that was smothering their minds is all but gone now." Ultear states. "But the question right now is what caused it?"
"Maybe it was Asmodeus-sama? This seems like something he'd do." Brandish suggests.
Erza nods. "It's possible, but Asmodeus never displayed such an ability before. And if he did have it, then why wait until now to use it?"
"She's got a point there." Mira adds.
Brandish rolls her eyes. "Okay fine. But if it wasn't Asmodeus-sama, then who? Because it can't be Rusty."
"I have detected a powerful pulse of tele-psionic energy originating 59 miles below us and it is spreading at an accelerated rate." Gamma reveals to the girls.
Ultear gives the AI a look. "And you're only telling us this now because…?"
"You didn't ask." Gamma shrugs. "Hey, knock knock."
"Oh god, not this again." Ultear mutters in exasperation.
Erza arches a red brow. "Who's there?"
"Don't encourage him!" Ultear shrieked.
"You are."
"You are who?"
"You are a dirty dirty Shisno. Ha ha ha." Gamma laughs.
Brandish looks confused. "What the hell is a Shisno? It sounded like an insult."
"That's because it was an insult. He's been telling that joke nonstop." Ultear groaned.
"But really, what does it mean?" Brandish asks again.
"What is the most foul-smelling creature on your planet?" Gamma asks.
"A skunk, I think." Mira replies. "So wait, Shisno means skunk?"
"Not exactly." Gamma said. "Does a skunk defecate?"
"Yes?" Brandish said.
"And does the skunk's defecation in turn produce its own excrement?"
"EW, NO! GOD NO!" Brandish screamed while the other girls looked at the AI with disgust.
"Then there is no equivalent for Shisno in your language." Gamma states.
"Great. Now I can't get the image out of my head." Mira groans as she massages her temples.
"Hey, you asked. And as the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat." Gamma said.
Ultear just lets a tired sigh. "Just go, Gamma."
"Finally. Now I don't have to look at your ugly Shisno faces anymore." Gamma logs off.
Mirajane groaned. "Everyone else Asmodeus-kun has summoned has been incredible. At least one was bound to be a dud sooner or later."
Gamma then resurfaces. "Hey, I take offense to that. I have been an integral member on this team."
"Gamma." The AI looks at the glare Ultear is giving him and shuts down.
"Let's just destroy everything here and then return to the [Aincrad]." Erza reminds them, causing them to nod in understanding.
"I hope you don't mind an extra pair of hands then." The group of four jolt and turn to find Kushina, Hinata, and Goryu suddenly standing behind them.
"Hi ladies, my name's Kushina Uzumaki." She cracks her fists. "Now let's break some shit!"
Blood Gulch
The box canyon was completely destroyed. The entire ecosystem has changed from rocky walls and natural cover to a barren wasteland, the smell of ash and brimstone is palpable, for anyone this would be uninhabitable.
"[Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame]!" Natsu yells before unleashing it on the overwhelmed Kiria.
"[Lightning Dragon's Iron Fist]!" Laxus launches the devastating lightning attack at an unprepared Suzaku.
"[Sky Dragon's Wave Wind]!" Wendy unleashes a massive tornado against a resisting Misaki who was consumed by the attack.
Once the smoke had dissipated, the three mutated Diabolos mages are seen injured and unconscious, joining their comrades.
After Georg and Ivan sent the brainwashed and horribly experimented members of Diabolos after them, the group of Fairy Tail mages worked tirelessly to defeat them. The more unusual ones, like Haku and Nebaru, proved to be the trickiest, but they were the first to fall. Laxus took a personal interest in Kirin due to him also using [Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic, and thanks to the benefits of his [Aura] and [Ki] in conjunction with his magic, managed to overwhelm him.
Makarov was surprised that one bore a resemblance to and even shared the same name as his late guild mate, Wraith, but decided to ponder it later, and with some help from Wendy, managed to defeat him.
Madmole and Skullion Raider proved to be more tenacious given that the former's power specialized in defense and the latter could become ashes, but Laxus and Makarov managed to overwhelm Madmole's [Armor Dragon Slayer Magic] eventually while Natsu and Wendy unleashed a blazing whirlwind that overwhelmed Skullion Raider.
"Hmph, all those enhancements and modifications that made them stronger than ever, and yet they still lost to these weaklings. As your guildmaster, I couldn't be more ashamed." Georg coldly says.
"Oh don't give me that, you despicable bastard! Neither of you deserve to be guild masters after what you've done!" Natsu roared as flames surrounded him.
"Those people may not have been perfect, but they did not deserve this! They trusted you, followed you regardless of whether it was right or wrong, and this is how you repay them?!" Wendy cries in anger and horror as tears streamed her face, having realized just how horrific the experience was if their mutated appearances were any indication.
"Even most dark guilds show more camaraderie to their members than this. Which speaks of how disgusting you two bastards really are!" Laxus yelled.
Ivan laughs. "You children still don't understand. A guild isn't a family, it's a competition. It is a place where one can stump everyone and everything in their way until they become the strongest around. And when you are at the top, you get to command the weaklings below into doing anything you want."
"Is THAT what you truly believe, Ivan? That might makes right regardless of the consequences?!"" Makarov replies, becoming more disgusted with his ex-son's words and actions.
"Wow, he's really a piece of shit isn't he?" Church remarks.
"I really don't know where I went wrong with you, boy. But this ends now!" Makarov's body bursts with power.
"Guess it time to show you little fairies and those miserable failures how REAL wizards fight!" Ivan proclaims as his visage became more demonic and dark power began radiating off of him.
"Yes! In order to become the ultimate Dragon Eater, I had to discard my weak human heart and become something more, and now I too have become the Four Beasts Dragon God!" Georg proclaims as he slowly begins to grow in size and become even more draconic in appearance.
His main body has yellow scales with four different heads: one is a dragon with blue scales, the other a black tortoise, a fire bird, and finally a white tiger.
Ivan's transformation is more seamless. His body has bulked up, his muscles tearing through his outfit easily, leaving him with a shredded dress shirt and ripped pants. His skin has become darker, borderline pitch-black, with spikes growing out of his shoulders, knees and elbows as well as violet bat-like wings sprouting from his back. His hands and feet turned into claws with extremely sharp nails. But by far his most profound change is his head, with his hair becoming an afterthought as the horns on both his forehead and chin take precedence, leaving him bald. He has violet lines and wrinkles running across both his face and body. His teeth are pointed and black, and his irises become slitted.
"And I thought he was an ugly fucker before." Church mumbles and vanishes.
"Hey Church, where did ya go!?" Natsu calls out but gets no answer.
"Natsu, you and Wendy handle that Dragon bastard. Gramps and I will take care of this monster once and for all." Laxus says.
"You got it! We got a score to settle with that bastard anyways!" Natsu says as he, Wendy, and Laxus enter their Dragon forms while Makarov returns to his Titan size.
"To think you dragon slayers actually underwent [Dragonization]. I'm gonna enjoy killing and eating your flesh." All four of Georg's heads smirked evilly before eyeing Wendy. "Though this puny runt barely counts as a morsel."
"I! AM! NOT! PUNY! I'm just petite due to not being fully grown!" Wendy roars in outrage, before turning to Natsu. "Natsu, let's make quick work of him! I wanna help others as soon as we can!"
"Fine with me, I'm all fired up!" Natsu says while flaring his wings.
"Yes! Yes! Make this fun for me! It'll make eating you both all that much more satisfying!" Georg exclaims as he takes to the skies.
Wendy and Natsu quickly fly after him.
"My, I didn't think Laxus-chan would discard his humanity as well to become a dragon! Yet he complains about me doing it?" Ivan mocks in his new demon form.
"Shut up, you son of a bitch! My [Dragonization] was unintentional unlike you becoming a LITERAL demon, and only so that I could be strong enough to stop this madness and protect my friends, as opposed to your selfish lust for power!" Laxus growled.
"Well, why don't we put our power and ideologies to the test then?" Ivan challenged before looking at his father. "Though I doubt certain outdated and obsolete fools would last very long in the face of real monsters!"
Makarov growled. "I may be old, but I am far from obsolete, Ivan. And this old man has more than a few tricks left up his sleeve to defeat monsters like you!"
Ivan smirks and reappears behind Makarov.
"!?" Makarov jumps just as Ivan is about to impale him, instead his arm plunges into the ground he was standing on, leveling it from the strength he put into it.
Laxus smacks Ivan with his tail like a baseball, sending him upwards into the sky. He fires a beam of dark-red lightning at Ivan and it hits, causing a large red explosion that eclipses all other sources of light.
Everything is silent until a deranged laugh is heard.
"Hahaha! That was great! You really are trying to kill me, Laxus-chan! Daddy is so proud!" The smoke dissipates to reveal a burned Ivan only for his injuries to instantly heal.
"Tch. So it's gonna be like that, huh? What a drag." Laxus spat.
Ivan raises his hand and charges a familiar spell. "[Soul Extinctor]!" He fires a GIGANTIC beam of black magic straight at his dragon son.
However, Makarov jumps in between and uses his massive body to shield his grandson from the blast.
"Gramps!" Laxus screams out.
"I'm fine, Laxus." Makarov said, his body shimmering as his [Aura] took the whole blast.
Ivan just cackles at the sight. "Look at you, the great Makarov Dreyar, the strongest mage in Ishgar, reduced to this state. Talk about pathetic."
Makarov glares at his ex-son. "Says the man who's willing to kill his own flesh and blood out of some petty jealousy. Even now, all you've proven is just how far you've fallen Ivan."
Ivan's boastful smile quickly transforms into a sneer. "There you go again with your holier than thou bullshit. It pisses me off." His nostrils flare as his voice gains a dangerous edge. "You preach all about family and bonds, thinking about what's best for everyone and supporting each other. Yet it makes you weak and prevents you from reaching your full potential, with many failing to truly achieve their dreams and potential, either from a lack of strength or a 'selfless duty to family'. I had the insight and vision to see what you could not, the ambition to strive for the best no matter the cost!"
"And look at what has become of you. A rabid animal." Makarov spat out.
"Look what I have risen above. I am one step closer to achieving power that would make the [Lumen Historia] look like a simple trinket. Soon nothing and no one will stop me." Ivan boasted.
"If you define yourself by your power to take life. A desire to dominate, to possess, then you have nothing." Makarov told him.
Ivan sneers at his father. "I'LL SHOW YOU NOTHING!" He dives at incredible speeds, his sights set on Makarov.
Laxus prepares to intercept when he sees a hand stopping him.
"No, Laxus. I shall end this right now." Makarov solemnly tells him.
Laxus nods as Makarov takes a step forward. He reels his right arm back as he channels all of his [Max Power] into said limb, becoming a gigantic lump of power and muscle.
"THIS IS WHERE YOU DIE, YOU SENILE MIDGET!" Ivan roars as he dives faster.
"Farewell… my son." Makarov clenches his giant fist tight as his eyes turn sharp. "[Fairy's Requiem]!" He thrust his fist forward, unleashing a massive compressed beam of light straight at the sky.
"!" Ivan has no time to dodge or even scream as he is immediately swallowed by the beam and absolutely torn apart at a molecular level!
Makarov lets out a tired sigh as he reverts back to normal. "I'm sorry, but you left me no choice, Ivan. Your sins were too great, your actions too unforgivable, even for your own family. If there was truly any good left in you, then may you hopefully find peace and atonement in the afterlife."
Laxus stares at the sky, not saying a word. There was nothing left of his father, not even a scent.
'It really is over, isn't it?' An air of melancholy surrounded Laxus. Despite everything Ivan has done, he didn't understand why he felt sad. Maybe there was still a part of him that still loved the man Ivan used to be, before he became this thing that wore his face.
"Laxus?" The dragon looks down at his grandfather, his only family. "You alright, my boy?"
"Yeah, yeah." Laxus said absently. "I should go and check on Natsu and Wendy. Hopefully they left me some action."
Makarov watches his grandson fly to the heavens in silence.
"It's hard, isn't it? Even though he was a piece of shit, he was still family. I should know." Epsilon, in the form of Agent Carolina, said. "His actions shouldn't define who you are. Just gives you the starting point on who you're going to be."
Makarov looks at his partner AI briefly before his attention turns to the sounds of explosions and flashes of light in the sky.
"I may have failed to save you from your dark path, Ivan, but I will not fail the rest of our family." Makarov says solemnly as he heads in the direction of the dragon fight.
Meanwhile
We see Church's "ghost" wandering around the wasteland. Unbeknownst to him, two familiar flying cats can be seen in the distance following him.
"Hey. Why are we following him again?" Happy asks Carla.
"We aren't really." Carla corrected him. "The battle flung us off somewhere far and we crashed. When we came to, we didn't know where we were and then we saw Church and decided to follow."
"Oh. Right." Happy agrees.
"You know. If you're trying to sneak up on someone, you should do it without making so much noise." Church's voice caught the two cats off guard.
"Wait, you knew we were following you?!" Carla said. "Then why didn't you say anything?!"
"I dunno. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact there are flying talking cats here. But I'm a ghost, so who am I to judge?" Church shrugs.
Carla's brows furrowed. "For the last time, you're not a ghost. You're an AI, a computer."
"Yeah, and you're just a figment of my imagination. Now shut the fuck up and get over here." Church grumbles.
"Such a potty mouth. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" Carla said.
"I'm an orphan, so no." Church said.
The trio continue their tread through the canyon until they find something.
"Hey, what's that?" Happy points to a structure in the distance.
"No way." He runs towards and finds what looks to be an army outpost, a very familiar one. "It's the Blue base! I can't believe it's still here."
"You know this place?" Carla asks.
"Yeah. Me and my team were stationed here to fight the Reds, until we found out that we were all used in simulated battles without our knowledge. We weren't even real soldiers, just test dummies." Church sighs. "C'mon, let's head inside."
Church and the cats go inside and the "ghost" can't help but feel nostalgic as he takes in his surroundings.
"It's exactly the same, to a T, except cleaner. I wonder if Caboose's old peeing spot is still there." Church then turns a corner and finds nothing. "Guess not."
"Hey! I think I found something." He turns and sees Happy floating above an opening on the floor.
"Huh. Never seen that before." He descends downwards and finds a dark room.
"Shit, it's too dark. Where the hell are the lights?" As if answering his question, the room's lights turn on.
"Hey! There's the rune right there!" Happy points his paw to the glowing archaic rune graffitied on the wall.
Church moves deeper into the chamber and finds himself frozen in place by what he sees.
"Oh. My. God." Church said.
"[Unison Raid: Scorching Inferno]!" Natsu and Wendy proclaimed together as they unleashed a combination of fire and wind that even Georg in his Dragon form couldn't withstand and was subsequently blasted away.
"You little brats! All you're doing is getting on my nerves! It'll take more than that to beat me, the devourer of all dragons!" Georg roars.
However, before he can retaliate, he is struck in the back by a powerful bolt of red lightning.
"Try eating that, you gluttonous cannibal!" Laxus mocked as he flew next to Natsu and Wendy.
"Laxus!" The two dragon slayers exclaim happily at the sight of their comrade.
Georg's four heads click their tongues.
"So, Ivan's dead. Oh well, more meat for me!" Georg charges at the three dragons.
Wendy enchants Natsu and Laxus as they quickly intercept the mad dragon slayer and grab him by his four heads.
"Let me go, you brats!" Georg's dragon head demands.
"Oh? What do you think, Natsu? Should we let him go?" Laxus asks Natsu with an evil smirk.
Natsu sports a similar smirk. "Sure. Why not?"
Laxus and Natsu simultaneously let Georg go while he was resisting, causing him to fly backwards and leave him unprepared as the duo dragons punch all 4 heads, causing him to rocket towards the ground.
Wendy quickly flew to Natsu and Laxus' side.
"Let's finish this creep off! Together!" Natsu tells the others, who nodded in agreement as they charged their magic, [Aura, and [Ki] simultaneously of their respective elements.
"[Triple Unison Raid: Dragon's Firestorm]!" Natsu, Wendy, and Laxus roar simultaneously as they unleash a devastating blast of their three elements together at their disoriented foe. By the time Georg got his bearings together to look at the upcoming attack, it was already far too late.
The attack collides and Georg screams in agony. The momentum from the blast sends him spiraling down and crashing to the surface like a meteor.
"Ahahaha! Impressive power! It even broke through my impenetrable scales!" Georg's grin widens. "More. SHOW ME MORE OF YOUR POWER!"
The three dragons descend on the crater and watch as Georg slowly gets up, his wounds already healing.
"Dammit! Why won't this prick just die already!?" Natsu screams in frustration.
"If he's anything like Ivan, we need to destroy his body without leaving a trace. That's how gramps did it anyway." Laxus states.
Just then, a rainbow-colored beam of pure energy blasts Georg back, causing him to fall on his feet.
"Hope I'm not too late for the party." The three dragons turn to see a familiar large bearded dragon descending.
"Gramps!/Elefseria-san!" Natsu and Wendy said.
"Where have you been!?" Laxus yelled.
"Can't an old man arrive fashionably late? It's what the youngsters do nowadays." Elefseria said.
Laxus sweat drops. "You're joking, right?"
"He does have a point." Natsu adds.
"Don't encourage him." Laxus groaned.
"Hahaha!" The four dragons turn to the rising Georg. "You fools cannot kill me! I AM IMMORTAL!"
"Trust me when I say this boy, there is no such thing as an immortal. Only a man who's too afraid to die." Elefseria states.
Just then, Georg stops his boast as he hears something.
"Hey, do you guys hear that?" Natsu asks.
"It kind of sounds like… a vehicle."
"Is that music?" Wendy said.
"YYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone turns to see Church driving in a futuristic military jeep while blasting Mexican music with Happy and Carla sitting in the backseats. "MISSED ME ASSHOLES!?"
"CHURCH!?" Natsu screams in surprise. "Where have you been!?"
"Oh you know, getting lost in the road of life and shit." Church says, driving donuts around Georg.
"This music is awful!" Carla yells.
"I love it!" Happy said.
"How are you driving? You're a ghost!" Wendy said.
"I found this body in an abandoned outpost along with tons of cool crap. Including this Warthog!" Church chirped happily.
"Foolish weakling! DIE!" Georg tries to stump on the jeep with his massive foot.
"Whoa!" Church turns the wheel left and right, making the Warthog take sharp turns as it evades the massive foot.
"P-Please stop moving around s-o much!" A dizzy Carla manages to blur out.
"Whee!" Happy cheers as he is having the time of his life.
Suddenly, everyone feels a massive burst of energy coming from close by followed by violent tremors.
"What the heck was that!?" Natsu screams, clearly freaking out.
"I don't know, but I feel that this energy is familiar…" Laxus mused.
"Yeah. I just hope they're friendly." A scared Wendy said, feeling the cold and dark energy washing over her.
"Grr! Stay still, bug!" Georg stumps the ground faster in order to flatten them, unaware of what just happened.
He manages to stumble close to the vehicle and the resulting shockwave causes Church to lose control and crash on a nearby rock in a fiery explosion.
Georg laughs but notices something and looks up to find not only that annoying blue human and those cats alive, but flying and holding some kind of weapon in his hands.
"Say hello to my little friend!" He fires his Type-25 Grenade Launcher, or better known as the [Brute Shot] at one of the heads, blinding it before doing the same to two more.
"GUAAAHHH!" Georg screams in pain.
The [Brute Shot] vanishes from Church's hands and is replaced with a double-barreled rocket launcher.
"Have some of this!" He fires rockets after rockets. "And this! And maybe this too!"
"Enough!" Georg fires a torrent of blue flames from his dragon head at the trio, but they avoid it with relative ease.
"Haha! You missed us, lizard breath!" Church taunts.
"You think a mere armored human and two cats with wings can defeat the devourer of all Dragons?!" Georg growled in annoyance.
"We don't need to defeat you, you turd blossom! We just needed to distract you!" Happy proclaims.
His eyes widening in realization, he turns his attention back to the four Dragon Slayers, and to his horror, they were charging another [Unison Raid] that possessed FAR greater Magic Power, [Aura, and [Ki] than the last one.
"[Four-Way Unison Raid: Annihilation Blast]!" The four Dragon Slayers yelled simultaneously before unleashing a combined blast of their respective elements resembling the focused power of a Sun traveling at lightning speed.
Georg knew the moment they unleashed their attack, it was too late for him, and was subsequently fully engulfed in the blast.
*KA-BOOM!*
A massive explosion follows, engulfing everything and everyone; it can be seen from space.
When the explosion settles, Church, Carla, and Happy find themselves in Wendy's protective embrace.
"W-Wendy?" Carla calls out her friend.
Wendy looks at the three and gives them a motherly smile, similar to the one her mother expressed.
"I'm glad to see you all alright." Wendy says with tenderness and love.
Happy, Carla, and Church blush (AN: Can an AI even blush?) at the sincerity in the dragoness' words. It was the kind a mother would say to a child, which is ironic considering she is one of the youngest in the guild.
But it felt right when they came from her.
"Is this what it's like to have motherly affection? Just glad the others aren't here to see this!" Church wonders outloud.
"Guess again!" Epsilon Tucker says.
"Fuck!" Church swears.
Laxus, Elefseria and Natsu watch the massive crater of artificial rock and molten metal, their combined attack having melted through the earth and buried itself into the metal beneath, thus creating a gigantic scorch mark that can be seen from the other end of the ring.
However, their attention is purely focused on Georg Reizen, still alive and back in his human form, before leaping from the bottom and landing right in front of the three dragons.
"Ahahaha… you impress me. Your power has such synergy it's almost like they're one in the same. It broke through my scales. You called it a [Unison Raid] right? Very fitting." Georg remarks.
The dragons stare as Georg's psychotic smirk returns full throttle.
"But that just makes you all the more delectable! I can't wait to eat all of your meat! I'll even eat the bones if it means I'll become stronger!" Georg screams out.
*Beep*
A loud beeping noise freezes Georg in his tracks before he looks down at the collar around his neck beginning to glow.
"No… No, I can still do this! I just need more time!" Georg yelled.
*Beep* *Beep*
The Dragon Eater starts sweating profusely. "Please sir! I almost defeated them! Please give me more time!"
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* Beep*
"NO! NO-GAAAAAAH!" Georg screams as his body starts to deform and swell, growing bigger and bigger by the second.
*BEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP~* *BOOM!*
Georg explodes into a gory mess of blood and skin, bits of his organs and blood rain down dying the ground he was standing on.
The trio were shocked, to say the least.
Well, Laxus and Elefseria are at least. Natsu was mostly annoyed.
"He tanked all of our attacks, yet it was a damn collar that did him in?! I'm split between being horrified and frustrated." An annoyed Natsu manages to say.
"My monster of an old man wore a similar collar. They likely got them from that bastard Rusty. Even if Georg deserved to die the worst kind of death, Rusty is no better given that he does things like this." Laxus says in disgust.
"All the more reason to stop him once and for all." Makarov's voice draws their attention as they see him approaching. "Let's grab the members of Diabolos and regroup with the others."
Chun-Li and her allies fight with everything they have against the brainwashed heroes they are currently facing.
Each of them were exceptional heroes even under normal circumstances, but their enhancements only made them more dangerous.
Laura was the first to go down, mostly because Chun-Li warned how she was typically the most tenacious due to her healing factor and the fact that her Adamantium Claws could cut through essentially anything with ease in conjunction with her exceptional melee skills. Gajeel seemed eager to test this with his [Iron Dragon Scales, but luckily Diana recognized the real danger from Chun-Li's voice, and using a combination of her [Bracelets of Submission] to block the claws and her own combat prowess, Laura was ultimately knocked out.
Panther Lily eagerly engaged in a swordfight with Psylocke, though it was made all the more trickier due to her precognitive and telekinetic capabilities, as evident by how she seemed to predict his moves and throwing debris at him, but thankfully she couldn't use her incredible telepathic capabilities to mess with everyone's minds due to Rusty's brainwashing stripping her free will and undermining its effectiveness. With some help from Gajeel and occasional intervention by Seilah with her [Macro] to lock her movements, Psylocke was ultimately knocked unconscious as well.
But the real challenge lay ahead, given the four remaining heroes were arguably the most dangerous of them all.
"Hey Diana, are all heroes THIS challenging?!" Gajeel asked as he dodged a massive lightning bolt shot at him by Storm who was flying in the air and managed to conjure a giant storm in the treasury room for reasons no one understood.
"Only the really good ones, and if what Chun-Li said is true, this is only the tip of the Iceberg!" Diana says as she and Chun-Li were fighting back-to-back against both She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel simultaneously. She quickly reflected an energy blast from Ms. Marvel with her bracelets before using her [Lasso of Truth] to restrain the disoriented hero.
"Believe me, you haven't seen anything yet, especially since She-Hulk is here!" Chun-Li yells, having activated both [Ultra Instinct] and [Kaio-Ken] to fight the female Gamma Mutate to evade and counter her endless strength.
"Considering this 'Rogue' girl here has access to all of their abilities, I'm debating if She-Hulk is truly the most dangerous!" Seilah says in her Etherious Form, facing off the Mutant who had used her power to gain the abilities of her comrades without weakening them. Rogue was flying in the air, her hands charged with Ms. Marvel's energy abilities and bone versions of Laura's claws protruding from her knuckles, while being surrounded by an aura of lightning and psionic energy.
"We should consider it lucky that Seilah was able to boost all of us with [Enchantments] and [Chaos Energy, or else we would be overwhelmed too easily." Panther Lily while he and Gajeel were charging their various forms of power while staring off against Storm, who surrounded herself in a vortex of lightning, wind, and [Negative Chaos Energy].
"Hero or not, they're pawns of Rustyrose and we will stop them." Gajeel says while entering [Iron Shadow Dragon Mode]. "Lily, I need a distraction!"
"Got it!" The warrior Exceed raises his greatsword and charges at Storm.
The Omega-level Mutant waves her hand and launches thunderbolts at Panther Lily, who dodges them with ease thanks to [Mind's Eye].
He then uses Tien's [Multi-Form] technique and splits himself into four copies and leaps high above to reach her.
"Haaaa!" The clones all let out a cry and swing their swords down at Storm's head.
*Clang!*
Only for the Exceed's eyes to widen as his blade is caught by a CLOUD just before the attack can connect.
The cloud then begins to shift and change until it becomes a gray version of Storm with eyes surging with tremendous power.
The cloud clone delivers a thunder punch at Panther Lily's face and blasts him away with the power of thunder.
*BOOM!*
Everyone watches Lily crash into the wall, leaving a massive crater and burying him in place.
Behind her, a pair of eyes can be seen coming from her shadow as a familiar figure leaps out with an iron blade coated in shadows.
"[Iron Shadow Dragon's Iron Slash]!" Gajeel thrusts his sword arm hoping to impale her but is stopped by a whirlwind and flown back.
The whirlwind transforms into a large clone of Storm as it changes into a tornado with Gajeel still inside.
"!" Gajeel grabs his throat as his lungs collapse from the vacuum, leaving him to suffocate and unable to escape.
"Gah!" Diana groans as She-Hulk bashes her head to the metal floor as he pins her down, unable to move. Her [Lasso of Truth] wrapped tightly around She-Hulk's jaw as she tried to bite it through.
"She-Hulk… tell me how to stop this." Diana asks as she feels her head getting crushed. "Please…!"
Suddenly, the brainwashed Gamma mutate's grip loosens and Diana glances up to see light returning in her opponent's eyes.
"You… you need to kill us all." She-Hulk mutters in a distorted voice. "We have to die… to save the multiverse."
Diana narrows her eyes. "No, I refuse to believe that! My husband has already freed seven other victims, he can do the same for all of you. There has to be another way, you must know!"
"No… other way… multiverse… important." She-Hulk struggles to say. "Our universe…all gone…because of them. Don't…condemn others… their madness."
Diana's eyes widened in horror at She-Hulk's words. The universe they came from is now gone? The same one Chun-Li and her other friends came from?!
'Irene was right. Just when we think he can't get any worse, Rustyrose finds new ways to prove us wrong! But now he destroys entire universes?!' Diana bites her lower lip in anger and frustration.
"I am truly sorry for what happened to your universe, but right now you need to fight this, She-Hulk!" Diana pleads, before remembering something her husband told her. "She-Hulk, the modifications you were forced to endure have given you access to [Chaos Energy, which responds to the thoughts and desires of the user! Use whatever willpower you have left with it to free yourself from Rustyrose's spell!"
She-Hulk grits her teeth and concentrates, red lightning dances around her body as she tries to fight the metal conditioning.
"It hurts… it hurts so much…!" She-Hulk yelled.
"Don't give up! Keep going!" Diana encouraged as the lasso glows brightly.
She-Hulk begins to glow as green and it glows brighter.
"Nobody… COMMANDS SHE-HULK!" She roars as her body lets out a green wave of energy before taking a knee in exhaustion.
Diana slowly gets up from the crater and makes her way towards the Gamma mutate.
"Are… you okay?" Diana slowly asks.
She-Hulk slowly raises her head and through the ocean of thick green hair, the Amazon sees a pair of emerald green eyes and a smile.
"Yeah… just tired. And a bit hungry." She-Hulk says with a smile. "And my name's Jennifer Walters."
Diana smiles back.
*CRASH!*
Diana and She-Hulk turn to see Seilah being pinned against the wall by a transformed Rogue.
"Holy shit. Since when can she do that?" A bewildered She-Hulk asks before turning to the readers. "Can I do that? That'd actually be pretty cool..."
Diana looks as sees Ms. Marvel charging towards them like a rocket.
The Princess of Themyscira readies herself when a green arm stops her.
"Go. Help your friends, I got the girl scout." She-Hulk said.
"But," Diana was about to interject before Chun-Li flying in and hits Ms. Marvel in with a divine-powered flying kick.
"GO NOW!" She-Hulk screams at Diana and the Amazon quickly rushes away.
"Sorry about that," the female Gamma mutate cracks her knuckles as Chun-Li lands next to her. "Now, where were we?"
Ms. Marvel glares at the two fighters before her body erupts with more [Negative Chaos Energy].
Diana flies towards Storm as she charges an electrical storm and fires it at the Amazon, resulting in a powerful explosion.
However, this doesn't deter Diana as she flies through the smoke, her [Aura] having taken the full-force of the blast.
The brainwashed X-Woman prepares another attack only for Diana to fly past her as she moves towards her true target: Gajeel.
The dragon slayer ran out of breath long ago and, by all accounts, should be dead, but his willpower allowed him to stay conscious long enough to reach out as Diana enters the vortex and pulls Gajeel and herself out before colliding with the pile of gold ahead of them, their bodies sliding down in a wave of treasure as they regain their breath.
"Gah! Hah! What… took you so long!?" An air-deprived Gajeel yells at Diana.
"I was busy fighting Jennifer and Ms. Marvel." Diana says, also trying to regain her breath. "Speaking of, I freed her with my lasso, so maybe the same is possible for the others."
"Great, cool. You think you can do the same for her?" Gajeel and Diana look to see Storm menacingly looking down at the duo.
She extends her hand out and coats them with lighting, the lightning then extending until they touch the ground, effectively turning her arms into a pair of whips.
"... oh fuck." Diana cursed.
Storm slashes her electrical whips at them.
"Oh shit!" Gajeel grabs Diana and the two jump off the pile of gold just as the whips collide, causing the mountain to light up like a christmas tree.
"That was too close." Gajeel remarks. "Another second and we would have been deep fried. And not the tasty kind."
Storm dismisses her whips before clapping her hands together, surprising the two.
"What is she-?" But Gajeel's question is quickly answered by what he saw next.
Blue, dense energy begins to surge out of Storm and rises above her like a cloud.
"Is that… plasma?" Diana said, recognizing the fourth state of matter.
The plasma that Storm had generated had mixed with the clouds to create a supercharged thunderstorm that was becoming increasingly more dangerous with every passing moment.
"This is not good. The lightning bolts she can unleash with plasma will be far more devastating than anything she has used before. She might actually destroy this entire Halo Ring with everyone on it." Diana says grimly.
"Wouldn't she die too if that were the case?!" Gajeel incredulously asks.
"Knowing Rustyrose and his blatant disregard for others, it wouldn't be surprising if he programmed his victims to defeat their enemies by any means, even if they have to sacrifice themselves to do it." Diana says as copies of Storm emerged from the clouds, to their surprise.
"She can create copies now?! Just great, this is like Aldoron and his damn God Seeds all over again!" Gajeel growls in annoyance.
The plasma copies all charges at the duo at the speed of, well, light.
"[Iron Dragon Reaver]!" Gajeel takes a deep breath and releases it as a powerful airflow at a group of copies, causing them to dissolve in an instant.
Diana raises both arms up high and conjures two large razor-sharp discs of golden ki. "[Double Destructo Discs]!" She throws them both at the clones and slices through them, the clash of energies causes the clones to explode.
The Storm clones all fire beams of plasma at the two, but they're able to dodge them as they press on towards the original as she creates more plasma clones.
"We have to stop her. Or else this'll never end." Gajeel said. "Use that lasso thing on her!"
Diana takes out her lasso and throws it at Storm, hitting true. However, before the lasso can do its job, the brainwashed Mutant sends a powerful electrical charge through the lasso and directly at Diana.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Diana screams as she is electrocuted.
"DIANA!" Gajeel tries to help her but is pinned by Storm's plasma clones before they all detonate in a powerful explosion.
From the smoke, a metal hand stabs into the floor as Gajeel pulls himself out of the smoke, his scales protecting from the blast but left him burned. He sees something green fly in and crash into Wonder Woman, causing her to let go of her lasso as the figure is revealed to be none other than She-Hulk.
He then glances to the far end of the room where he sees Seilah back to her human form, barely holding on to life as Rogue drains her remaining lifeforce.
*THUD!*
Gajeel turns to see Chun-Li on the ground, her body strained to the point of exhaustion and near death due to using two powerful, but draining techniques at the same time. Ms. Marvel flying above them like some sort of angel of death.
'Damn it, this can't be how it ends!' Gajeel thought in frustration. 'Please… it can't end like this!'
"And it won't. I promise you that."
"W-What..!?" Gajeel mutters at hearing the female voice coming from nowhere. "Wh-who-"
"GAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Gajeel turns to see Ms. Marvel clutching her head and screaming in pain. It wasn't just her as Storm, Rogue, Laura, and Psylocke were all screaming in agony.
"Wh-what's going on!?" Gajeel asks nobody.
"That's Jean Grey's psychic wave. She is transmitting it throughout the facility."
Gajeel turns to see Power Girl descending along with what looks like a group of armored angels by her side.
"Who… are you?" Gajeel struggles to say.
"My name's Karen Starr. But you call me Power Girl if you like." Karen says with a beautiful smile.
Gajeel, however, was staring at the open hole in her white leotard, showing off her ample cleavage.
Karen sees this and covers the hole with her arms. "My eyes are up here, mister." Her eyes glow bright red. She was usually proud of her looks and was accustomed to stares even if it was a little annoying at times, but after her experiences with Rustyrose, she was currently feeling a bit more defensive than usual.
"Ah c'mon, don't be such a prude, girl scout." She looks up to Juri-Han slowly being brought down by a group of reapers, who hold her by her arms and feet as well as Cammy White who is helped down by another angel knight.
"While there's no denying that Rusty is the king of all scum, there's also no denying we're all far more gorgeous and sexy than ever before~" Juri says while flaunting her impressive curves and J-cup breasts
"Knock it off, Juri. We have work to do." Cammy told her.
"Tch. Yeah, yeah. You never let me have fun." Juri waved at her dismissively.
"Because when you have fun, it always ends with someone dead."
"Aw, but that's the best part!" Juri pouts.
The two land and Cammy quickly makes her way to Chun-Li's side while Juri lets out a whistle as she looks around.
"Goddamn, that's a lot of gold. I could buy myself all of China a thousand times over with this amount." Juri remarks before turning to Power Girl. "Although, I am a bit envious that you, Hinata, and Kushina got the best figures."
"My appearance hasn't actually changed at all. I looked like this even before Rustyrose kidnapped me." Power Girl admitted.
This causes Juri's eye to twitch in annoyance. "Fuckin' girl scout."
Cammy pulls out the bag she had strapped on and takes out a [Senzu Bean]. "Here. Eat this."
Chun-Li slowly opens her mouth and eats the magic bean. Her eyes shoot wide open as she feels her stamina returning and her wounds healed.
Chun-Li stands up, surprising the newcomers by how effective the bean was.
"Damn, he was not joking when he said they were magic." Juri murmurs.
"Cammy, Juri! Thank goodness you're all okay!" Chun-Li hugs her old friend before separating. "But how are you here?"
"Asmodeus sent us and all the other girls he rescued from that scumbag to help you guys and cause havoc for Rusty and Towa." Cammy explains.
"Asmodeus?! My husband sent you guys?! Is he okay?!" Chun-Li asked out of concern, shocking the trio.
"Hold up, husband?! You got married!?" Juri exclaims. "And to that powerful and sexy stud no less?! Damn it, you are one lucky bitch." She grumbled.
"I have to say, I'm surprised to hear you got married, Chun-Li. Considering most guys were only interested in our looks or were intimidated by our skills and success, I thought we would all be single forever. But congrats." Cammy says, though there was a tone of jealousy even she couldn't fully keep out of her voice, which Chun-Li noticed.
"It's not just me. There are other girls, like Diana and Seilah over there, who are also his wives." Chun-Li says while gesturing to her recovering comrades who also received [Senzu Beans] thanks to Power Girl.
"Really?! He's got an actual harem?!"
"Yeah. And it's fine if you girls are interested in him, none of us mind sharing as he is undeniably an amazing guy like no other who always makes time for each of us and goes out of his way to treat us well."
"Good then, I was looking forward to some competition." Juri says with a smirk.
"I was honestly planning on pursuing him as well, so that's reassuring to hear." Power Girl admits before looking at Diana. "It's great to see you again, Diana. And congrats, by the way, on being married. Honestly, if Asmodeus wasn't open to multiple partners, I'd be incredibly jealous of you."
"I honestly wouldn't blame you. Asmodeus has that sort of effect on women." Diana replies in understanding.
"So," Everyone turns to a healed Gajeel. "What now?"
Just then, everyone feels an explosion of energy coming from seemingly above them as the entire room shakes violently.
The quakes then soon stop, leaving everyone frozen by what just happened.
"What the hell!?" Juri yells in shock.
Gajeel turns to Chun-Li. "You felt that?"
Chun-Li nods. "I did. That was Cell's power, without a doubt."
"Yes, but it felt different. It was darker, more oppressive." Diana adds.
"Cell?" Power Girl, along with the other newcomers, were confused.
"Seriously? Who names themselves after a cell? That's kind of stupid." Juri remarks.
"I'll be sure to let him know when we run into him." Gajeel stands up and stretches his limbs. "So now what?"
"Now," Juri cracks her neck, her left eye glowing a menacing purple. "We make some chaos!"
"Gah!" Xeno Vegeta grunts after he and Xeno Goku are blown away by Cumber, his [Evil Ki] radiating off him in waves.
"How is Cumber this much stronger than last time?! We've only gotten stronger since then, yet he's toying with us even at [Super Saiyan 4]?!" Xeno Vegeta screams in frustration.
"Remember what Asmodeus and his friends warned us about? Towa and Rustyrose must have done all sorts of experiments on them and that we should expect all sorts of surprises." Xeno Goku reminds him.
"And I'm guessing this is the 'surprise' they were talking about?" Xeno Vegeta grumbled.
"Guess so." Xeno Goku glances at his partner. "Ready?"
"Hmph." Xeno Vegeta smirks before the two let out a battle cry and charge towards Cumber.
Meanwhile, Cell was engaging in intense aerial combat with Super 17, making sure to avoid using [Ki] based techniques due to Super 17's energy absorption capabilities. Super 18 was left to deal with Omega Shenron.
"Tch, I don't know how much of this is your actual power and how much is from modifications from those two rats." Cell scoffed.
"Less complaining and more fighting, Cell!" 18 says, having gotten close to him after putting some distance from Omega Shenron. "Or would you prefer to face Omega Shenron while I deal with 17?"
"Oh hell no. 17 is mine!" Cell yells as he transforms into his platinum form.
Both Super 17 and Omega Shenron appeared together, facing off against their opponents and charging simultaneously in clear coordination.
"Goddamnit, as much as I hate to say it, we need to work together to defeat both of them, or we'll each be overwhelmed individually!" 18 growls.
"Ha! I don't need a team up, and why would you work with me? I thought you hated me." Cell mocked.
"Believe me, I don't like this at all and I still hate your guts for everything you've done, but unlike you, I can put aside my pride for the greater good. Not to mention I know for a fact that Asmodeus explicitly prohibited you from abandoning or betraying any allies, including me, so I know you can't backstab me. Unless you WANT to be Rusty and Towa's plaything, or do I need to tell Asmodeus you rejected working together after all of this?" 18 questions, causing Cell to grumble.
"Fine, let's just get this over with." Cell replied.
The two charge at their respective opponents. Super 17 places both of his hands forward and fires a barrage of small yellow energy waves straight for Cell, but the Perfect Android simply conjures two ki swords on hands and slashes through them, exploding behind him as he gets closer.
Super 18 flickers behind Omega Shenron and delivers a Double Ax Handle to his back before kneeing him in the stomach and finishes it with a spinning kick to the face, sending the dark dragon flying.
Omega Shenron ends up crashing against Super 17, which Cell immediately takes advantage of by using his Ki swords to unleash a flurry of energy slashes against the two, leaving them with a lot of gaping wounds. Cell also makes sure to slash off one of 17's hands, not only restricting his ability to fight but also depriving him of one of his two energy absorption devices in his palms.
"Like I said, you are just a piece of scrap while I am the true Ultimate Android. Only reason you are still alive is because of your remaining energy absorber and your enhancements." Cell admonishes him.
Omega swats 17 aside and fires green beams from his eyes at Cell, freezing most of his body in an instant.
"Why you little-" Cell doesn't finish as the Shadow Dragon rushes him while his body emits extreme heat before bursting into supernova-like explosion that pushes Cell back before trapping him in a whirlwind that launches him into the sky as he is bombarded with wind blades before beams of electricity shoot from the sky and engulf Cell in an explosion.
The smoke dissipates revealing half of Cell's body gone but instead of being in pain, he just smirks.
"Thanks for the pick-me-up. I got a real charge out of that one." Cell quickly regenerates as his body starts emitting negative energy similar to Omega's. "Now let's see how you like the taste of your own medicine!"
Cell then unleashes a flurry of Ki blasts all around Omega Shenron, who instinctively covers his face to block, only to realize he hasn't been hit. When Omega Shenron looks around, he sees he is surrounded by dozens of orbs of Ki.
"[Minus Hellzone Grenade]!" Cell says before all the orbs all strike Omega Shenron from every angle, engulfing him in a massive explosion.
Unbeknownst to Cell, Super 17 regains his bearings and prepares to grab Cell and absorb his energy, only for his hand to be cut off by a [Destructo Disc, courtesy of Super 18.
"I don't know if you're still in there, 17, but if you are, I promise I will save you from this." 18 said.
"Hmph, perhaps. But I have another idea."
"!" Super 17 turns only to Cell's stinger to expand and captures him before proceeding to quickly suck him in and subsequently digested.
Immediately, Cell begins to breathe heavily, his pupils contract and his body starts to unnaturally expand. His body starts to glow bright with [God Ki, pulsing uncontrollably as the entire area begins to shake.
"HAAAAAAAAAA!" Cell's body explodes in a black pillar of energy, rising high to the point it can be seen from space.
The pillar subsides and Cell is shown to not have changed much, except now his body's sporting a metallic black instead of platinum.
"Meet [Black Cell]." Cell states with his trademark smirk. Power can be seen shooting off his body as a dark purple aura envelops him. "Don't blink."
Cell suddenly disappears and reappears before the disoriented Omega Shenron before suddenly sending him flying with a powerful kick that he intercepts via Instant Transmission and launching a flurry of attacks from different teleported locations. After testing his power, Cell decides to immediately finish off the Shadow Dragon with a close range Ki blast that completely incinerates Omega Shenron.
"This power is incredible!" Cell cackles, before looking at Xeno Goku and Vegeta fighting Super Saiyan Cumber. "And to think I'm just warming up, but might as well make this quick so we can participate in the REAL fight soon."
Cell suddenly appears a few feet from Cumber before grabbing his head and incinerating it with a point-blank Ultimate Masenko, surprising the time traveling Saiyan duo.
"What the hell, Cell?! We had it under control, you damn bug!" Xeno Vegeta snapped.
"And what's with your new look and your power?" Xeno Goku cautiously asks, feeling the absurd pressure he's emitting.
"Just a new form I gained from absorbing that poser, Super 17. I'm calling it [Black Cell, given the clear similarities to Frieza's own transformation." Cell proclaims.
"Cell, you bastard!" 18's angry voice draws the attention of the three. "I can't believe you absorbed 17 like that, again! Even killing him would've been more merciful!"
"I'm supposed to be the Ultimate Android, and I have once again proven it. And we're on the clock to save the multiverse, remember?" Cell reminds her, causing 18 to grit her teeth in anger.
"This isn't over, Cell. Asmodeus will never let you get away with this!" 18 yells.
"Sure whatever. I'm still not apologizing." Cell dismisses.
The two Saiyans then power down.
"We can deal with this another time. For now, let's just complete our mission to help stop Rustyrose and Towa." Xeno Goku reminds everyone, getting reluctant nods from everyone.
"Wait, the fight's over already?" Everyone turns to see two figures flying towards them. The first is a very beautiful woman that exudes a presence that can only be described as "tough". She is tall, about as tall as Cell, with a lean and muscular build yet it helped enhance her womanly curves. She's fair-skinned and has a small mole below her bottom lip, centered to the right, and sharp, intelligent eyes with long eyelashes. Her hair's dark and straight, kept shoulder-length, with the exception of a clump of short bangs hanging above her forehead, and was usually styled in a half-up-half-down bun.
Her outfit consists of a dark, sleeveless bodysuit with a high collar that tightly clings onto her body, particularly around her wipe hips and large J-cup breasts, with yellow elbow-length gloves, and white knee-high boots. Around her waist was a belt with an angular golden buckle, a small cape attached around the back which hung down to her knees, and over her shoulders was a longer cape, buttoned to the shoulders of her bodysuit.
The second is a fairly young girl, about 17 give or take, with orange hair and short light brown hair fastened with a white headset with horn-like protrusions and orange ear protectors. Her outfit consists of a tight orange battle leotard with an opening in her navel with an armored orange miniskirt with white frills attached fastened with a black belt that clung to her hourglass figure and J-cup breasts that were a clear sign of Rustyrose's experiments given her young age, orange shorts and yellow/black metal horns poking from her back. She wears a pair of large orange/white gauntlets that go up to her forearms as well as a pair of orange/white jet boots, and a long white scarf that reaches her ankles.
"Aw, and I wanted to kick some serious ass after everything Rustyrose and Towa did!" The 2nd newcomer, Hibiki Tachibana, whined.
"Don't worry, Hibiki-chan. There will be plenty of ass-kicking to come!" The first woman reassures her before looking at the others. "Hi, my name's Nana Shimura. Asmodeus sent us to support you guys and cause havoc for Rustyrose!"
"And I'm Hibiki Tachibana! I am 17 years old! I am a Junior at Lydian Music Academy and I've never been in a relationship before!" Hibiki chirps with unusual cheer.
Everyone just looks at the little girl like she's an oddity, which she is.
"... is this little girl serious right now? How is this information even relevant to the situation?" Cell remarks, confusion clear in his tone and body language.
"Oh well, great! I'm Goku," He then gestures to his partner. "And this is Vegeta!"
"Hmph!" Vegeta huffs.
"He kind of reminds me of a grouchy dog." Hibiki whispers to Nana, but Xeno Vegeta hears her.
"What was that!?" Xeno Vegeta glares at the two newcomers.
"Nothing!" Hibiki yelps in fear.
"I'm Android 18. You can just call me 18." 18 said enthusiastically.
"And I'm-"
"A pain in our ass." 18 interrupts the Bio-Android, causing him to send her a killer glare.
"… Cell. A pleasure to make your acquaintance." Cell finished, quickly receding his KI.
Nana and Hibiki are surprised by Cell, more specifically his appearance.
"Is that a cockroach?" Hibiki said.
"Is that a cockroach with a jawline?" Nana adds before shrugging. "Eh, Azzy's better."
Cell's right eye twitches in clear annoyance. "First bug, now they're comparing me to roaches!? You humans just love demeaning me, don't you!?"
"Suck it up and deal with it. It's the least you deserve anyway." 18 says with an edge of anger in her voice.
"Anyways, we're here to tell you that Azzy found Rustyrose's location. He said that you can get there if you track his energy." Nana explains.
"Hey, yeah!" Xeno Goku closes his eyes and places his index and middle fingers on his forehead, expanding his senses as he looks for the specific ki signature.
And he does.
"I got him! Everyone grab on, quick!" The group grabs onto Xeno Goku and they all vanish in an instant.
Halo Control Room
Jenny sends a barrage of punches at Ur who is able to parry them easily thanks to her two years of training.
Ur thrusts her right arm forward, firing a shockwave that blasts Jenny close to edge.
"[Fire God's Cruel Sun]!" Ur summons a black sun and launches it at Jenny, causing an explosion on impact.
Suddenly, a four-prong metal claw rockets from the smoke but Ur is able to evade the speeding mechanical limb from running through her. The claw retracts as the sounds of metallic stomps quickly catches her attention as something rises from the smoke.
When the smoke is scattered, Ur sees Jenny now sporting four long mechanical arms, the lower two planted firmly to the ground to keep her body from touching the ground. Each arm features four sharp claws that glow yellow at the tips.
Jenny herself is wearing a skin-tight dark green catsuit that shows off her narrow waist and wide hips. She has black metal padding at the shoulders, knees, and elbows. She wears a sleek green breastplate with a heart shaped opening in the top area giving a good view of her bare K-cup breasts while the collar and the lower part of the breastplate have a layered design. She sports a headset with a visor attached that is currently lowered, covering her eyes. (AN: Doctor Octopus–Spider-Man PS4)
"A [Take Over] mage. What a surprise." Ur comments as notices the way Jenny's claws seem to move, as if they're alive. "Wow, those claws are really scary."
Jenny lunged one of the tentacle arms right at Ur, only for her to narrowly dodge the clawed arm before quickly dodging another one at a much faster speed.
'They're fast!' Ur watches as Jenny leaps in the air and flies away just as she slams all four arms right down where Ur stood.
"[Ice Make: Rain]!" A large magic circle appears above Ur and large ice shards rain down on Jenny as she uses the arms to protect herself from the lethal rain, the excess weight causing the platform to snap and fall straight to the bottom of the spherical room.
Ur stares down at the destroyed platform before something bursts from the smoke and rockets towards her at highspeeds.
Ur raises her index finger and fires a [Barrage Death Beam] at the incoming blurr only for it to suddenly vanish from her vision. She scans the area before sensing a spike of energy and instinctively twists her body as a beam saber narrowly misses her head.
Ur quickly sends a spinning kick at her attacker only to be caught and then thrown back but the ice mage is able to stop herself as she gets a good look at her opponent.
It's Jenny, now donning a white bikini armor with a black breastplate with a red glass piece that shows her breasts and a yellow circular piece on her stomach. She wears a short armored miniskirt with black shorts with two long fins attached to the sides with saber holsters stored just above, white gauntlets with a red piece on her forearms, white shoulder pads with twin exhausts underneath, and white boots with blue feet. She wears a white helmet with two vents on both sides with two small turrets placed just above with four horns being held by a red piece in the middle: two white horns pointing to the sides and two golden ones pointing upwards. On her back are eight blue/black unfolded "wings" that seem to be using light to use as thrust. (AN: Strike Freedom Gundam)
Ur's expression hardens as she feels the power radiating from this form. "I can't afford to hold back like this." With a shout, Ur assumes her [Fairy Heart] form before conjuring a pair of longswords made of ice.
Jenny pulls out her other beam saber and charges at Ur at highspeeds. The two trade strikes at each other but Ur's swords were surprisingly durable, giving the brainwashed mage a hard time. Ur kicks the model in the stomach before using her [Invisible Eye Blast] to blow her back as she prepares another attack.
"[Ice Devil's Annihilation]!" Ur shouts while unleashing a devastating ice blast augmented with [Aura, [Ki, and [Chaos Energy] that engulfs Jenny's body and renders her completely frozen.
"Stay frosty until this is over, Jenny-san." Ur tells the frozen [Take-Over] Mage.
*Craaaaaaack!*
The ice shatters violently and Jenny fires energy beams from her eight wings, but Ur dodges the high-frequency beams with ease. The flaps mounted on her skirt rise up and fire two massive energy beams at Ur, forcing her to conjure an energy barrier to tank the blast.
The barrier shatters and Ur narrows her eyes at the stubborn mage.
"Fine then. I don't use Acnologia's power often, but Lucy and Lamy need my help and I can't waste any minute with this dance. So I'll have to cut this short." Ur says before conjuring a black blade and imbuing it with [Ki] and [Chaos Energy] while charging towards Jenny. "[Void Dragon's Blade]!"
Ur then slashed her attack that engulfed Jenny in a massive explosion, and when the energy and smoke cleared, Jenny was unconscious and in her normal appearance.
"Better to be safe than sorry. I'm glad I picked up this spell from Seilah during our first year of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber." Ur says as she approaches Jenny and places her hands on Jenny's neck. "[Ice Lock]!"
An ice collar forms along Jenny's neck, disrupting her ability to move her body and think. Ur made sure to reinforce it with a large dose of [Chaos Energy] in case Rustyrose gave Jenny any other surprises related to said power.
Ur descends and grabs Jenny by her face. "Sorry Jenny-san, I'll make this quick." She siphons the [Negative Chaos Energy] and turns her back to normal.
"Whoa! What a rush!" Ur exclaims before an explosion quickly grabs her attention.
Lucy leaps back, donning her [Star Dress Mix: Leo x Virgo Form] as she dodges Yukino's snake-like whip, who dons the [Star Dress: Ophiuchus].
Lucy throws her arms open as she gathers [Ki] and magic power before straightening her arms to the front and pointing them at Yukino.
"Take this. [Regulus… Flash]!" She fires a massive golden beam of light straight at Yukino and is swallowed whole.
"!" Lucy gasps as she senses Yukino's energy suddenly spiking as a black spot can be seen growing from the energy stream before exploding with a powerful shockwave.
"Kya!" Lucy cries as she is blown back by the shockwave as falls butt-first on the floor. She looks up to see Yukino now assuming a Dark Super form, obscuring her features in dark-blue energy while her eyes are pearly white.
The Celestial Mage quickly stands up. "I'm not gonna… give up! Not until I save you!" She powers up again, tapping into the Celestial Spirit Realm for more power.
Near the control center, Lamy shoots at the possessed Meredy with both armor-piercing and explosive rounds, but the bullets are sliced to bits with her [Maguilty Sodom].
"Really?" Explosions overtake the background as Rusty walks forward. "Did you think mere guns were gonna hurt this Meredy?"
"Tch!" Lamy uses her [Slippery Curse] to maneuver around at high speeds as she guns Rusty with a rain of bullets, but they are countered by Meredy's swords of light.
"Not acting so smugly now, are you? Be grateful I am not there in person or else I would have easily killed you all, even if all of your allies had been here together fighting against me." Rusty mocks while speaking through Meredy.
"At least my power was largely gained through training and refinement rather than almost entirely dependent on shortcuts. Your own supposed power is likely only a by-product of your own modifications with the Chaos Emerald. It only further highlights how much of a pathetic coward you are since you know you aren't powerful on your own and instead have to resort to cheap methods and mindless drones to appear strong." Lamy counters, getting a scowl from Rustyrose.
"And look at where your 'training and refinement' got you: exhausted and close to defeat." Rusty then yanks one of Lamy's ears and lifts her up to meet his eye level. "It's a shame your sugar daddy won't be here to see it, then I would have actually found some enjoyment out of it."
Suddenly, a pink bullet of energy flies and hits Meredy in the back, causing her to stagger and drop Lamy.
"What!?"
"[Photon Lancer]" Six energy spheres fly towards Rusty at lightning speeds. He slices through two of them, but he couldn't keep up with their speed and he is overwhelmed.
"Dammit!" Rusty grits his teeth and looks up. "Of all people… it had to be you two bitches!"
Lamy looks up and sees two beautiful women hovering in the sky. The first has long blond hair that she keeps tied with a black ribbon at the bottom and has ruby-red eyes. Her outfit consists of a black coat with white lining, a mini-skirt and a white cloak. She wears a black glove with a gold plate on her right hand and a steel gauntlet on her left. She wears a pair of metal shoes with gold plating over laced black leggings. On her right hand is a staff with its head resembling a black bearded ax with an angular blade connected by a yellow gem and a revolver-like magazine at the base of the neck.
The second has long brown hair styled in pigtails held by two thick white ribbons and lilac eyes. She wears a white short dress with blue lining and a red gem, a waist cape of the same color that's attached to a metal belt, a long jacket that's tied to a red bow on her chest, black fingerless gloves on both hands, laced white leggings, and white shoes with blue soles and blue gems in the middle. On her left hand is a white-and-pink staff capped by a red crystal suspended within a partial gold ring with two exhaust valves and a rifle magazine at the base.
The duo of newcomers both possessed extremely curvy hourglass figures and large feminine assets like J-cup breasts, which Lamy concluded was a sign of Rusty's experiments.
"What's the matter, you bastard? Not happy to see us? Not even after you went through the effort of kidnapping us, experimenting on our [Linker Cores] and then finally throwing us away into your fridge without even blinking an eye?!" Fate barked, her tone dripping with clear anger and frustration.
Nanoha didn't respond or try to hold back her partner's anger since it would be hypocritical of her to do so.
Rusty narrows his eyes, clearly confused by the sudden development.
"How did you two idiots even escape? Towa and I made sure that all of the pods were restrained and secured with high-level draining and sealing magic! You shouldn't have been aware, let alone be able to move!" Rusty growls in confusion and frustration.
"It's all thanks to Asmodeus-kun! He found your room and set us all free!" Nanoha exclaims, shocking Rusty.
"Asmodeus!? But Towa assured me that he-" He stops as he realizes something. "Wait, did you say all? As in he freed EVERYONE?! Including HER?!" He then starts trembling. "(That monster… I can't believe that monster is free… what was that brat thinking!?)"
"Something isn't right here…" Nanoha whispers as she observes Rusty seemingly on the verge of having a breakdown.
"[It seems whoever this person is has disturbed him greatly, master]." Raising Heart points out.
But then suddenly, Rusty starts laughing, confusing the girls.
"What's so damn funny?" An annoyed Fate asks. "Explain yourself. What are you laughing about?"
Rusty smirks at the two women. "Oh, pray that you never meet her. But considering our luck it may happen sooner or later."
"What are you talking about? You're not making any sense." Nanoha said.
"[He is acting erratically. I advise caution, sir]" Bardiche said.
"I wasn't trying to. This is Asmodeus' problem now. And he better be ready because the multiverse sure isn't!" Rusty cackles.
The two magical girls are unnerved by Rusty's cacophonous laughter but it eventually dies down.
"Haa…" Rusty let out a deep exhale. "You know, when I first took you both, I thought I could experiment on your [Linker Cores] in order to further develop my [Magic Container]. I even created my own catalyst based off yours. And yet in the end, it proved to be a massive failure and a waste of my precious time and resources." Immense magic power surges from Meredy's body as her expression turns fully manic. "But it's a good thing that you are awake because now I can get back on my investment… BY KILLING YOU BOTH!"
Fate and Nanoha ready themselves.
Lamy looks at the scene and can't help but smile.
"Goes to show you really aren't as remarkable as you claim to be." Lamy taunted as she took a distance from the possessed Meredy and approached her newfound allies.
"I may not remember much after this scumbag captured me and Fate-chan, but I do recall that he couldn't bypass our [Barrier Jackets]." Nanoha comments.
"[I was active the entire time, no matter what attempts were made, I protected my master with ease.]" Rising Heart added.
"We've had our fair share of egomaniac criminals from where we came from, but at least none of them were stupid." Fate jabbed.
[Agreed, sir. This criminal may have potent magic of unknown origin, but it's clear he is not well versed in utilizing its power.] Bardiche adds with its own jab.
"Let's go, Fate-chan!" Nanoha rockets forward with Fate following soon after.
Suddenly, the duo find themselves crashing straight to the ground, their bodies seemingly pinned by a powerful force.
"[Warning! Massive increase in gravitational force!]" Bardiche cries out.
"Gh… ah!" Nanoha let out a muted moan of pain.
"[The Barrier Jackets can't handle the strain much longer!]" Raising Heart yells in concern.
"D-Dammit!" Lamy yells, her body also affected.
Rusty chuckles. "You idiots couldn't be more bullheaded. Especially when you know nothing about my Meredy." He said. "I have gifted her with all of the magic of Grimoire Heart. She is the amalgamation of our master's ambition. A true child of the dark."
Fate and Nanoha watch as Meredy's body bursts in dark flames and her glow a menacing red. They watch the flames condensed and converge on her right arm.
"For your insolence against the God of the Underworld, you shall all be exercised by the flames of Hell." Rusty reels back his arm before launching a ball of dark flames. "[Fire God's Explosive Flame]!"
Fate, Lamy and Nanoha look on in horror as a fireball rockets towards them, unable to move.
*BOOM!*
The fireball hits its target, quickly growing large before promptly exploding, swallowing in a sea of black fire.
"And that's that." Rusty makes Meredy turn around and walk away.
However, before he takes a single step, he senses a spike in power and twists around, and sees the flames being sucked in like a vacuum growing smaller and smaller.
Finally, scene zooms to reveal none other than Ur having completely devoured the flames.
"Blegh! That has to be the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten in my life!" Ur gags.
"You!" Rusty starts to conjure another attack before sensing something coming and leaps away just as Lucy's fists hit the ground, creating large and massive cracks that spread all over the platform.
"Don't even think of hurting them!" Lucy declares, her glare promising only pain.
"I don't think so. [Fall]!" Rusty roars as the pressure of [Gravity Magic] emanates from Meredy.
Nanoha raises her intelligent weapon up high. "[Exelion Shield]!"
"[Shield]!" A large complex magic circle appears above them and blocks the incoming gravity well.
Nanoha's feet start sinking into the metal floor as she uses her strength and willpower to remain firm.
"Here! Have a taste of your own medicine! [Fire God's Explosive Flame]!" Ur fires a familiar attack at Meredy.
"HA!" Lucy fires a yellow ki beam at the same time.
The two attacks hit their target, stopping the gravity spell in its tracks. However, they are shocked to find what looks like a barrier made of thick tree bark before it turns to ashes.
"Nice try. An A for effort." Rusty taunts. "Unfortunately, you are just too predictable."
A massive fist made of trees suddenly rockets towards the group of women, but they manage to dodge it just as it collides with the platform, destroying it.
"[Tree Fist]!" Rusty yells before generating a funnel of razor sharp leaves that he launches in a powerful twister-like attack. "[Folium Sica]!"
"[Round Shield]!" Fate raises her device forward.
"[Yes sir!]" A yellow magic appears and protects the group from the incoming barrage.
"Keep that shield up. I got an idea." Lamy steps forward and takes aim.
Rusty sees this and laughs. "Are you joking? You're going to attack with those useless things again? You must be insane." He says in between laughs. "But sure. Go ahead. Maybe you'll actually succeed this time."
Lamy smirks and pulls the trigger. The frame of the silver gun cocks back as a silver-tipped bullet flies out of the chamber and through a small hole in the shield.
Rusty smiles as he uses the magic leaves to intercept the incoming bullet and slice it to bits.
But instead of slicing, the bullet… slips through them all.
"Wha-!?" But is cut off as the bullet hits Meredy's stomach. "Aaaaaah!"
"Heh." Lamy ejects the empty magazine and replaces it with a new one. "Didn't expect that, did ya? Turns out my [Slippery Curse] can do more than just make me dodge attacks."
An injured Meredy looks at Lamy as Rusty puts the pieces together.
"I see… you made the bullet slip through the space between my attacks." He said.
"Bingo!" Lamy chirped. "It's something that Asmodeus-sama trained me to do, since I was created with absolutely no fighting ability."
Meredy uses the [Arc of Time] to reverse the bullet wound before switching to a different magic.
"I am the King of the Underworld. This arm cuts through everything with a deep black blade. Disappear to the edge of darkness!" Rusty chants and Meredy's right arm turns into a claw-like sword.
"Here it comes." Lucy said.
"[Jet Black Sword]!" Meredy punches forward and the sword-arm extends at insane speeds.
Fate leaps forward and flies towards the incoming attack.
"[Piercing Lancer]!" Bardiche's ax head transforms into a spear as it fires mana from the bottom for extra thrust.
The two attacks collide in a deadlock, seemingly evenly matched in power.
"More power!" Fate exclaims.
"[Yes sir!]" The device puts in more mana, allowing it to bypass and break through the sword and leaving Rusty horrified.
"Impossible!" Rusty screams out as he watches Fate shortening the distance between them. Without thinking, Rusty forces Meredy to cut off her own arm and fly away just as Fate was about to reach her.
Meredy crashes into a nearby platform, she grips tightly onto the stump and stands up, sending a heated glare at Fate.
"You damaged my Meredy… you will pay!" Rusty roars.
"I damaged her? She's not a thing, you self-righteous asshole! And you're the one who forced her to cut off her arm!" Fate retorts.
"Don't you dare pass the blame to me, you stupid bitch." Meredy begins to use the [Arc of Time] to restore her body. However, before Rusty can act, Meredy's body is suddenly wrapped in multiple binding rings.
"W-What the hell!? I can't move!" Rusty exclaims.
"[Hoop Bind]" Raising Heart's red gem announces as Nanoha flies next to her partner.
"You left yourself open!" Nanoha shouts.
"[Chain Bind!]" Raising Heart announced.
Pink magical chains shoot out of the rings wrapping around Meredy then forcing her down on her knees.
Rusty struggles to break free, but with Meredy now missing an arm it proved difficult.
"I refuse to lose to you whores!" Rusty screams. "YUKI-" But before he can finish, Ur freezes him solid.
"Nice quick thinking, Ur-san!" Lucy praised.
"It was nothing. I was just sick and tired of hearing that whiny-ass voice." Ur said.
"We need to finish this soon." Nanoha says as she sees Rusty's prison already cracking. "The ice won't last much longer."
Lamy raises her guns at the ice sculpture. "She's right. Let's not waste anymore time."
Everyone starts charging up just as the ice on Meredy's upper body shatters and Rusty regains some mobility.
Raising Heart's head dematerialized and reforms into a golden spearhead set with a red crystal.
Bardiche's head transforms into a trident shape which becomes the hilt of a mana saber, giving it the appearance of a western sword.
Ur holds one of her hands in front of her with the other hand supporting it as a purplish-pink energy sphere begins to appear and quickly grows to be as tall as her.
Lucy raises both of her arms up high as electricity is seen traveling upwards towards her hands. Magic power and Ki begin to converge in the center blue orb begins to form and grows bigger immediately as Lucy lowers her arms.
A set of six mana wings sprout from the sides of the spearhead near Raising Heart's gem as a magic circle appears under her feet.
Rusty's face morphs into shock and horror as he can sense and even see the insane mana and ki output the four girls are generating.
"[Buster mode. Drive ignition]" Raising Heart states.
"[Riot Blade]!" Bardiche announces.
"N-No! Y-You can't!" Rusty stammers.
"[Divine Buster: Full Power]!"
"[Blade Impulse: Full Power]!"
Multiple cartridge cases are ejected from the chamber as they boost the magical device's power further.
"[Divine Buster]!" Nanoha fires a massive pink energy beam from the tip of her staff.
"[Blade Impulse]!" Fate swings her sword in an arc, sending a green energy wave.
"[Death Cannon]!" Ur fires a large purplish-pink energy wave.
"[Stardust Laser]!" Lucy launches a mighty energy blast.
The four attacks are fired simultaneously before they all fuse into a mighty energy stream that could destroy entire star systems.
The group quickly find something to grab onto as the MASSIVE hole they made starts sucking everything out of the room like a vacuum, before a barricade quickly seals the breach shut.
"You fools! You could have destroyed the array's control system!" Everyone turns to see Meredy alive but with light burns… before looking down to see a badly burned Yukino by her side. "It was fortunate that this Celestial Mage was still functional enough to shield me from your attacks. I would despair if something were to happen to my Meredy."
"Yukino…" Tears rolled down Lucy's face.
"Hmph, worthless goods." Rusty kicks Yukino away as he treads forward. "Now then, I believe it's my turn to blast you to oblivion, yes?"
Just then, a hologram of a familiar head appears between them.
"Delta!" Lamy calls out as Nanoha and Fate land next to her.
The large hologram of Delta turns to the group. "Greetings Lamy. And you two must be 1st Air Captain Nanoha Takamachi and Executive Officer Fate Testarossa of the Administrative Bureau along with their artificial intelligent staffs Raising Heart Exelion and Bardiche Assault."
The two mages are surprised by the AI's knowledge of them even though they just met.
"[He is quite knowledgeable.]" Raising Heart remarks.
"[And very robotic.]" Bardiche adds.
"While I was able to bypass the encryption, I am afraid that I was only able to access 26.66% of the primary control nodes." Delta adds.
"What!? You're bluffing! You could not have breached our firewalls so easily." Rusty screamed out.
Delta then turns his attention to Rusty. "You must be Rustyrose. I would say it is nice to meet you, but there is nothing 'nice' about you. At least based on the data I compiled."
Just then, a much smaller hologram of Delta appears, surprising the group.
"Delta?" Ur looks at the large head talking to Rusty and looks down at the smaller one. "How-"
"Shh, the one Rusty is talking to right now is a recording I programmed to activate at this exact moment in time." Delta explains as he turns to the event happening before them. "Do not worry. All will be explained soon."
"If you think this will ultimately thwart my plan, you are mistaken! Things have come too far to be stopped even by something like this!" Rustyrose growled.
"That may be so, but you are severely underestimating our resourcefulness." Delta counters. "You are just like the director, a broken shell of a once brilliant man attempting to revive memories from the past. It would be pitiful, if it wasn't so goddamn annoying."
This sends Rusty over the edge. "And what would you know about loss!? I had a life, a purpose! And it was all taken away from me by the fairies and Zeref!" He screams out. "You are just an emotionless computer! You couldn't even begin to comprehend the human heart!"
"... your argument is logical. As an AI Fragment, I only embody one aspect of the human mind, and that is logic." Delta states. "Yet despite this, there is a query that I simply cannot answer."
"And that is?" Rusty asks the giant hologram and he could almost feel the smugness coming from that green helmet.
"How can you still possess that woman after being hit by Jean Grey's psychic wave?" Delta asks.
Suddenly Rusty doubles forward as he starts screaming in pain, his head smashing against the floor.
"AAAAHHHH! GET OUT! GET OUT!!" A mix of two voices screams out as Rusty rolls back and forth.
Everyone watches Meredy scream her lungs out with clear shock and worry.
"What's going on!?" Fate asks.
"The [Sensory Link] is a spell that links two different people's senses by using strong feelings. Since Meredy's consciousness was sealed along with her emotions, Rusty was able to influence the link and take control of her body," Delta explains. "But now that Meredy's consciousness has resurfaced…"
"She is rejecting him!" Nanoha finished.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Meredy lets out one final, ear piercing scream before going limp, the seal on her wrist disappearing.
"MEREDY!" Ur rushes to her side and casts [Salvation], healing her injuries and restoring her arm. "Please wake up! Please!"
Meredy's eyes slowly open. "Ul… tear?" They quickly regain focus and she gets a good look at the woman. "Who are you…?"
"O-Oh! I guess you wouldn't recognize me like this!" Ur gives the girl a heartwarming smile. "My name's Ur. I'm Ultear's mother and I guess… your grandma now?"
Meredy's eyes jump out of their sockets before she promptly passes out.
"Ah! Please wake up!" Ur shakes Meredy trying to wake her.
"Please don't take it personally, but I'm honestly not that surprised Meredy fainted when you revealed who you are." Lucy says. "In her defense, it's not every day you meet your long-dead surrogate grandmother years after she supposedly died. The fact that you were a big part of Ultear's life meant seeing you would be just as significantly shocking for Meredy as it was for Ultear."
"And I thought my family was complicated." Fate mutters as Lucy walks past her and picks up Yukino.
"While she may have expelled Rusty from her mind, there's no telling what sort of psychological damage he has done. We need to take her to the lab so I can run a full check up on her." Lamy states. "Heck, the only reason Ultear and the other girls didn't suffer PTSD from the brutal nature of Rustyrose's experiments was due to Asmodeus-sama's healing capabilities and [Chaos Energy] healing their potential mental trauma."
"That would be the logical approach, yes." Delta chimed.
"There's just something I don't understand." Lucy turns to Delta. "How could you have predicted what Rusty would say?"
"While inside the system, I was able to discern what kind of personality Rustyrose has based on his interactions with Towa, then I merely used logic to determine his responses and in what order, then I left the appropriate responses." Delta states.
"How did you know about our rank or even our affiliation with the Bureau?" Fate asks.
Multiple projections appear around them showing the profiles of many people.
"Rustyrose keeps a list of all of the women that have taught his eyes, as well as a number of other powerful individuals. He has extensive data on your backgrounds, your affiliations, your equipment, your strengths, weaknesses, families, friends, medical records, likes and dislikes, etc." Delta says. "He also has similar files on the original 11 [Isekaijin] girls that Asmodeus had summoned, though he was aggravated when he could not find any of them, until today that is."
"Wow." Nanoha says in shock as the screens change to show the fights occurring around the facility.
"I have also simulated over millions of scenarios to predict all of the possible outcomes that may happen, and then formulate the appropriate strategy based on the most probable ones. Part of those scenarios was calculating the actions of every group inside of this facility as well as which actions would affect the other's chances of victory."
"That's… that's amazing! You're amazing, Delta!" Lamy exclaims.
"[Indeed. Your processing power is well beyond any device we know.]" Raising Heart said.
"It is nothing. I simply did my duty." Delta said.
"You are too humble, Delta." Fate giggles.
"Okay, let's get Jenny and take everyone back to [Aincrad]. We accomplished our mission, and as Lamy said, these girls likely need a full check up just in case." Lucy feels a hand touching her shoulder and looks down to see Yukino awake.
"Lu… cy…" Yukino manages to say.
"Shh, don't talk. Just save your strength." Lucy whispers.
"Hold on! I might just have something to help her." Nanoha pulls out a [Senzu Bean] from her coat pocket and walks up to Yukino. "Please eat this. It will make you better."
Yukino opens her mouth and Nanoha gently places the bean on her mouth and starts chewing it. After a second, the third-degree burns on Yukino's body vanish and she's back to full health.
"!?" Yukino's eyes snap open before realizing her current position and her face turns beat red. "EEP!" She jumps off Lucy's arms and lands on her feet.
"Yay! She's good as new!" Nanoha cheers.
"We really need to ask Asmodeus if we get a supply of these beans for the Bureau, they are a medical wonder!" Fate says.
"Best be on our way now. The probability of the final battle upon us is high." Delta informs everyone before the room starts to shake.
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
The sounds of explosions rattled the entire platform.
"What was that!?" Lucy yelled.
"That would be the women the master freed, now dismantling the remainder of the installation." Delta states. "They have rendezvous with the assault teams and have destroyed the other runes keeping Rustyrose safe."
[I am detecting a potent magic build up at a different location.] Raising Heart announced.
[Magic signature recognized as Asmodeus.] Bardiche added.
"He must be heading to Rustyrose." Lamy surmised. "Delta, can you send everyone the coordinates to Rustyrose's location?"
"Of course." Delta nods. "I can send the data through my link with the other fragments so that we communicate in real time."
"Then let's go!" Everyone quickly runs out of the chamber, ready for the endgame.
At the same time
I walk through the empty corridor as explosions rocket the structure, with roof and debris falling everywhere.
"Are you sure this is the way, Asmodeus?" A female voice asks. She is an extremely beautiful and sexy woman with long blonde hair, stunning blue eyes, an extremely voluptuous and curvy hourglass figure, large KK-cup breasts, and an equally large yet firm ass. Her attire consisted of a shoulderless top that also exposed her abdomen while providing ample view of her generous cleavage with a white cape attached to it and an "X" symbol attached between her breasts, long white gloves, slim white pants that clung to her legs and ass like a second skin, and white heels. To put it simply, she personified the term 'sex on legs' but on heavy steroids.

"According to him, it would seem so." Jean said.
"How would you know? You can't read his mind." Emma points out.
"Neither can you."
"Please be quiet." Said another voice. She is a little girl, about 14 to 15 years old, with long, honey blonde hair that she ties up with silver and black hair clips on each side of her head which give her a cat-like appearance and ruby eyes. Her outfit consists of an all-black Gothic-style signature leather outfit. It has a star-shaped gap at the chest of her clothing, two waist belts, five-leg belts on both of her legs, and two sleeves that attach to her upper arm via belt.

Thoughts about you: Hopes you're not ecchi
"We're close. Rusty's sensors can't pick us up in this part of the Array; too remote. Especially now considering the chaos everywhere else." I explained with a smile.
After freeing all of the women from stasis, I had Jean unleash a psychic wave across the Halo Array. It would target anyone whose minds were repressed and "awaken them". To be precise, Jean didn't break Rustyrose's control, but rather push the original consciousness to resurface and that sudden resurgence would break the mental barriers and permanently cut off his control over them. Then I send the girls to locate and help everyone spread across the base to destroy it.
*PING!*
I suddenly grab the space in front of me before kneeing it and then firing a ki shot at point-blank.
The girls are surprised by his random actions but that's when they see the space shift, revealing a person on the floor.
The attacker can only be described as the ultimate personification of the fictional trope 'femme fatale' cranked up to infinity. The person on the floor was an exceptionally beautiful woman with long and vibrant red hair and piercing green eyes similar to those of Jean's, though her eyes were sharper even with the emotionless expression that clearly indicated her brainwashed status. She wore a skintight black catsuit that tightly clung to her perfectly shaped and extremely voluptuous hourglass figure to the point it almost looked like her skin was simply painted pitch black and emphasized her massive KK-cup breasts and her large heart-shaped bubble butt with an extremely low-cut v-neck that revealed a large amount of her cleavage, with a golden ring at the end of her v-neck in the valley of her cleavage, along with a belt of golden discs with a red-and-black hourglass disc in the center that hugged her waist and golden gauntlet-like bracers on both forearms.
And it turns out she wasn't alone. Accompanying her was an extremely voluptuous girl in her late teens with long blond hair that had 4 unique black accessories on both sides of her head and vibrant blue eyes. She wore a custom black shirt that completely exposed her abdomen and had a large boob-window that showed off her large K-cup breasts, with the right sleeve being short with a red X on her shoulder and a separate elbow sleeve and a black glove on her right hand, while her left sleeve being long and had a spiky shoulder pauldron and a longer glove on her left forearm with clawed fingertips. She also wore black booty shorts with a black belt on it that clung to her large bubble-butt and aided in emphasizing her perfect hourglass curves, along with thigh-high black boots. In her left hand was a massive longsword that seemed to be made out of pure golden energy.

Thoughts about you: n/a
"Natasha, Illyana…" Jean says their names in horror.
"That wretch." Emma growls.
However, they stop when they see a hand raised in front of them.
"I'll take care of them. You three stay back." I told them, surprising the women.
"Are you sure?" A concerned Jean asks but quickly sees a confident grin on Asmodeus' face.
"Of course! You just leave everything to me!" I exclaimed before feeling something pulling at my cloak and glance at Yami. "?"
"Be careful." Yami says in her usual monotone, but I can hear the emotions rising in her voice before letting me go.
I smile at the girl before turning my attention to the two Marvel women and walk up to them.
Magik goes first, charging at me with the ferocity of a Berserker, but as she brings her sword down, reality glitches and instead finds her [Soul Sword] plunged deep into the floor.
"Missed. Care to try again?" I quipped.
Unbeknownst to me though, Natasha was slowly creeping up on me from my blindspot only for her face to suddenly cave in thanks to a golden punch to the face.
I chuckle and glance back at the spy. "Did you think that was gonna work? Sorry babe, but I got eyes on the back of my head."
The golden fist becomes less transparent, revealing the golden arm and the rest of its body.
"[Payback Over Requiem]." I declared.
Time freezes as my Stand fully appears, before he unleashes a barrage of strikes on the brainwashed Marvel superheroine duo.
"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!" [Payback Over Requiem] screams out as he relentlessly attacks the two defenseless heroines before blowing them away.
But before they can get far, however, I use my Stand's [Reality Manipulation] capabilities to manifest two massive hands from the ground that each grab one of the girls, keeping them firmly restrained.
"You…you just defeated them without even moving?" Jean says in amazement and bafflement, caught off guard by his display of power. She knew he was powerful from the moment she set eyes on him even without seeing him in SSJ4 (even if it left her blushing tomato-red and drooling with pink hearts in her eyes at the time), but she still didn't comprehend the full extent of my power even now.
"What is that?" Yami asks, referring to the Stand.
"This is called a Stand. It's the physical manifestation of one's soul, or 'fighting spirit' if you want to sound tough." I said. "Depending on the user, each Stand will manifest an ability that is unique to them alone. Not all Stands are equal as they are a reflection of both an individual's personality and their inherent potential, though mine is on an entirely different level than other Stands due to both my own logic-defying limitless potential and past enhancements, and he has access to abilities far beyond what is normally possible for other Stands, including [Life Creation & Empowerment], [Time Manipulation], [Causality Manipulation], and even [Reality Manipulation]."
"Incredible. You're just full of surprises, Asmodeus. Even with all the people I've met in my own universe, I've never seen or heard of anyone like you before." Jean says in awe, which wasn't easy given everything she and her teammates had faced back in their universe or the fact that she was the vessel of the [Phoenix Force] itself, which also gave her access to god-like abilities like [Time Manipulation] and [Reality Manipulation]. Though it only made her mentally more determined to impress or seduce me to become her new lover no matter what.
"Is it wrong that I want to fuck him nonstop even more now?" Emma bluntly asks her teammate as she shamelessly stares at me with heavy lust and arousal while licking her lips, being turned on by my power and dominating performance.
"E-EMMA!" Jean shrieked.
"What? It's not like you're any different. Your mind is full of nothing but lewd thoughts about him fucking you into submission like a bitch in heat, especially in his monkey form. Your dirty fantasies with him are even naughtier than mine that I'm actually tempted to take some of your fantasies and do them myself." Emma shoots back making Jean even more flustered.
"Hush!"
"Perverts." Yami bluntly says while staring at the two Mutants.
"Dear Yami, we're simply mature and single women with a healthy appreciation for the opposite gender and in sex, there's no shame in that." Emma teasingly tells the young girl while emphasizing the word 'single' as she winked at me. "And don't think I didn't notice all those times you blushed when you stared at his back."
"S-Shut it." Yami meekly said, letting her hair hide the obvious blush on her face.
"Anyways, that wasn't even a proper challenge." The trio soon turned their attention back to Asmodeus cracking his neck. "You'd think that with Rusty and Towa pumping them with [Chaos Energy] and altering their bodies, it would create something new but no. Just empty dolls with absolutely no purpose."
[That's the problem with fighting mind-controlled enemies: they bring no joy in the fight. For Saiyans, that's worse than having an office job]
"Let's just free these girls from Rustyrose's control before we continue onwards in stopping his mad plan." I remove the [Shackles of Exodia] and transform into [Super Saiyan 4].
The trio accompanying me once again openly ogled me with heavy lust and arousal with prominent blushes and pink hearts in their eyes. I sweatdropped at this but couldn't blame them since it was my own fault. It might have been a little manipulative and underhanded to exploit [Super Saiyan 4] without the [Shackles of Exodia] like this, but given how Sirin responded as "thanks" for freeing her and the dire current circumstances regarding my friends/allies and the multiverse itself, I ultimately REFUSED to take any chances and deemed it necessary to ensure loyalty and support from any girls I saved in order to stop Rusty and Towa once and for all.
[We can address the situation with all the lovestruck girls after this is all over]
'Agreed. Not like I didn't know my love life was gonna be unconventional anyways. I'm just glad that Jean and the other girls are single, or else this would be a lot more uncomfortable.' I thought as I approached the brainwashed duo and placed my hands on their heads and focused my [Psionic Manipulation] to break the mind control, causing both of them to wake up immediately.
"I'M GONNA KILL THEM! I'M GONNA DYE THIS ENTIRE PLACE IN THEIR BLOOD!" Illyana madly screamed, her eyes glowing brightly with rage.
[Well, that's one way to wake up in the morning]
"I will make the blue witch suffer a hell that'll make Mephisto green with envy!" Natasha roared.
[And good morning to you too]
However, their rage is quickly snuffed out when they see the embodiment of male sex appeal standing in front of them.
"Um… h-hi." Illyana stutters out, her face burning red.
"Hello." Natasha greets without much emotion, years of training quickly kicking in to hide her heavy arousal and attraction to the sexy stud in front of her, though I secretly noticed it anyways.
"Hi. Nice to finally talk to you instead of fighting." I smiled. "My name's Asmodeus, it's nice to meet you."
Illyana's eyes widened upon hearing his name before glaring daggers at him. "Asmodeus!? How did you find us!?"
I was confused by the sudden hostility before I realized what she's talking about.
"Oh! Nonono! I'm not the person you're likely thinking of! I'm just one of the many individuals who share the name. As members of the X-Men and Avengers, you both should be more than familiar with the multiverse, right? So you know that the possibility exists." The two didn't seem convinced. "Don't look at me like that, I'm not gonna bite you. I'm one of the good ones."
Natasha arches an eyebrow. "The good ones?"
"Yeah, yeah. Hold on." I change back to normal with the shackles back in place. "Is this better?"
"So, who are you anyway?" Illyana asks me.
"I'm the same as you: I'm a victim. Rustyrose kidnapped me and my friends, and Towa attempted to experiment on me. Sound familiar?" I rhetorically asked. "Anyways, long story short, we broke out, I found their freezer where their troublesome subjects were and I freed them."
"Freed them?" Illyana looks up and sees two familiar faces. "Jean? Emma?"
Jean smiles. "It's good to see you, Illya. You too, Natasha."
"Same here, Jean." Natasha said.
The giant hands open and the two women jump off and stand mere inches from me.
"Has anyone ever told you just how beautiful you both are?" I asked.
"Yes." Natasha replies, while the mutant sorceress blushes harder.
"You guys look…even more amazing than before." Illyana bitterly says in envy at her teammates being even MORE beautiful and sexy than ever.
"Maybe you two should look at yourselves as well. Jean and I aren't the only ones who got the Rustyrose treatment." Emma says while gesturing to their bodies, causing their expressions to morph into shock.
"Whoa! Even if it was only because of those wretched experiments, I look and feel AMAZING!" Illyana says while admiring her improved looks and the [Chaos Energy] flowing within her. It felt like she was akin to a goddess of magic and beauty now!
"Damn, and I thought I was sexy as hell before." Natasha says while grabbing her KK-cup breasts and giving a casual squeeze, eliciting a moan. "Sensitive, too."
"Yeah, that's part of the modification process. Rusty makes you more desirable so he can have you all to himself." I told them, making them gag at the prospect. "Also, it's permanent, sorry."
"Oh, don't apologize. Besides, I'm not complaining." Illyana says as she cups a feel of her new K-cup boobs. "The girls in school are gonna be super jealous."
Yami's eye twitches in annoyance at Illyana. "I hate ecchi."
"Right." I clap my hands together. "So, we are currently on our way to meet dear Rusty. Wanna come? The more the merrier."
Magik smirks and picks up her [Soul Sword]. "Do you even have to ask?" The blade bursts into blue flames.
Natasha powers up her [Widow Bites] and shows off a determined expression.
"Alright, let's do this!" I exclaimed.
Aincrad – Engine Room
"HAAAAAA!" Anna screams as she fires a blue beam from her mouth at her opponent, only for Yoruichi to do a barrel roll and punch Anna in the stomach. "Ghk!"
"Damn it!" Wanda cursed as her attempt to trap their dangerous opponent by converting ground underneath them akin to quicksand had failed.
"[Fairy Warp Kamehameha]!" Cana yelled while warping behind their opponent to launch a pink Kamehameha wave enhanced with magic and [Chaos Energy], but their foe had once again dodged to their frustration.
Irene activates her Semblance and summons an avatar of Acnologia's dragon form and sics it at the werecat, but she simply evades its attempts to grab her with her insane speed before delivering a powerful sweeping kick that shatters the avatar into pieces.
"POTS (STOP)!" Wanda chants and freezes Yoruichi midair and falls to the ground. "NOW!"
"[Water Cage]!" Mercphobia summons a wave of water that quickly converges around the Soul Reaper and transforms into a large floating orb of water.
Layla raises both of her hands and slams them together before pulling them apart, revealing a yellow cable made of pure lightning.
"[Chain Lightning]!" Layla fires a whip of lightning that quickly wraps itself around the water prison.
She then clenches her fist. "[Charge Spark]!" The whips suddenly burst with powerful electricity, magnified further by the water before it ruptures and sends its prisoner back down.
When the group looks, they see Yoruichi's body burned, but very much alive.
Before the others could react, she releases a massive surge of power that sends them all tumbling. As they all get back on their feet, they notice that the woman has changed. Her entire body is now radiating a dark blue aura, losing her features and leaving only a pair of white eyes with no pupils.
"Get ready, everyone!" Irene tells her team before looking at Cana. "Time to put our training to the test!"
"Okay!" Cana smiles and transforms into her [Fairy Heart] form, except she now has a crown of light levitating above her head and two more sets of wings.
An aura of power bursts from Irene as she transforms into a hybrid between her human and dragon form. Her braids are undone as her hair becomes jagged, more wild. Two feathery crimson wings sprout from her back as scales cover both of her arms and feet turning them into powerful claws.
She opens her eyes, showing her pupils have become slitted and smiles, showing off her now sharp white teeth.
Four large glowing wings unfold from Anna's back before they wrap around her body, turning them into a makeshift dress for her. Glowing scales appear on her face as well as a pair of horns protruding from her head. Her hair turns translucent, rippling and sparkling like a nebula. The sclera on her eyes darkens, with multiple white dots appearing as her eyes change color to a glowing crystal blue.
Layla's hair had changed to an ethereal shade of icy blue mixed with occasional pink highlights. Two similarly ethereal icy blue wings that almost resembled a fusion of crystal and pure magical energy emerged from her back, with her limbs featuring dragon claws and patches of blue scales trailing up and down each limb.
"Let's set the stage. [World Reconstruction Magic: Universe One]!" Irene raises her staff up and enchants the entire room, causing it to burst in a bright light.
When the light fades, everyone sees that they are no longer in the altar, but instead a vast yellow sky with floating rocks as far as the eye can see.
"Let's do this." Irene casts a [Strength Enchantment] on everyone. "[Sage Dragon's Roar]!" She launches a fire-like burst from her mouth at the enemy.
The chaos-infused werecat vanishes from the rock just as the attack hits its target before reappearing in front of Irene ready to tear her face off with her claws only for a yellow ki blast to hit her face and send her flying.
Irene turns and sees Shizuka holds both arms forward and a determined expression on her face.
"I'm not gonna let you harm her!" Shizuka declares.
The werecat is able to reorient herself and land on a nearby rock, but not before she sees Torafuzar rocketing towards her.
"You will not escape!" Torafuzar creates a drill using his [Curse] and stabs it into the platform, causing it to change into dark water and drag her down in order to drown her.
A powerful bolt of thunder hits the dark water, electrocuting the werecat as she spasms from the pain.
"Muwahahahaha! Yes. YES! At long last! True power! Fear me! For I control the very power of Mother Nature!" A weirdly voiced Tempester laughs maniacally as holographic symbols appear around him.
"What are those symbols?" Irene questions not recognising them.
"What?" Omega!Tempester blinks before looking at the said symbols. "Seriously? I still have these childish drawings in my memory banks!? Ugh… I blame that quack of a Doctor."
Tempester lands next to Torafuzar, who gives his fellow demon a perplexed look. "The fuck are you looking at, ugly?"
"Who are you? You are clearly not Tempester." Torafuzar said with a mix of seriousness and curiosity.
"Well, if you must know, he was being an ass so I decided to take a more hands-on approach. Huhuhahaha." Omega!Tempester cackles.
Torafuzar arches an eyebrow. "You're that AI, aren't you? I thought you vanished."
"I did, but then I came back. Don't think too much about it, the sooner we're done, the quicker I can get out of this moron's head. Seriously, it's like dealing with Windows 95! Ugh!" He gags.
Layla raises her arms and aims two magic circles at the water prison. "[Ice Flash]!" A white mist comes out of the magic circle and instantly freezes it.
Irene raises her staff and charges a large red orb combining her [Aura, [Chaos Energy, and [Ki].
"[Sage Dragon's Light]!" She points her staff at the prison and orb fires a beam of devastating energy.
Cana pulls her right arm back as it gathers large magical power. "[Fairy Secret Art: Hand of Fate]!" She throws her arm forward, launching a large white energy fist like a rocket.
The two attacks reach their target resulting in a massive explosion and something is seen shooting out of the smoke.
The chaos were cat crashes with loud thud, mountains of rock and debris fly everywhere indicating the strength of her fall.
However, the woman did not stay down for long and quickly got back up, and to their horror, she was regenerating from her injuries.
"Goddamnit, why won't she stay down already!?" Cana yells in frustration.
"[Sleep]!" Larcade says, unleashing one of his three signature magics and augmenting it with [Aura, [Ki, and even some of the [Chaos Energy] given by Irene. Their female opponent immediately started struggling to remain standing, visibly shaking as she tried to stay awake.
"Mammon, Sariel! Let's show this woman what we Demon Lords and Archangels are capable of!" Belial shouts as she and her fellow [Isekaijin] begin charging powerful magical attacks augmented with [Ki] and [Aura] before launching a combined blast at their foe, once again engulfing her in a massive explosion.
"Is it over, is she finally out?" Shizuka asks hopefully, but those hopes were immediately dashed as their female foe jumped out of the smoke at lightspeed towards Shizuka preparing to strike her, but the woman was thankfully intercepted by a large blade.
"That's far enough!" Kaguya yelled.
The werecat tries to land but is suddenly intercepted by a current of crescent blades cutting her body in various places before she sees the form of Kaguya fastly reaching her.
"[Nyorai no Hachi]!" She spins in the air and slashes her foe with deadly accuracy and grace while the blades gather back into her sword before finishing it with a heavy midair chop.
"Keep up the pressure! She is almost done!" Torafuzar yells.
Anna opens seven black portals behind her as her blue glow brighter. "[Chains of Cronus]!" Chains made of blue crystal shoot out from the portals and make their way straight for the werecat.
"Anna, hold her! Layla, Cana, and Irene, loan me your [Chaos Energy, I will use it with my magic to free her mind!" Wanda yells as she flies towards their chained foe, with the three named women flying and landing right next to her and place their hands on her shoulders and back, sharing their [Chaos Energy] for Wanda to use with her own and her magic as she places her hands on the woman's head.
"Eerf eb dnim ruoy tel! (Let your mind be free!)" Wanda chants as her hands glow red and their foe is engulfed in red [Chaos Energy, until eventually it dissipates and reveals a normal Yoruichi.
"You can let her go now, Anna. The curse is broken." Wanda tells her teammate, who nods and releases the woman from her chains, while Irene releases [Universe One] and returns their surroundings back to normal.
Wanda kneels next to her. "You okay? I know from experience that this sort of thing can take its toll."
The now free werecat takes a deep breath. "Just… give me a minute." She slowly gets up from the floor and stumbles a bit, but Wanda catches her.
"Thanks…" Yoruichi lifts her arms up to stretch when she sees her new boobs. "Whoa. I don't remember them being THIS BIG! This is gonna take some getting used to."
"It's pretty much Rustyrose's fetish: hourglass figures with large breasts and large asses. Almost all of us have it, and it's permanent." Wanda states while glancing at her own body. Literally NONE of Rusty's victims were smaller than J-cups after he got his hands on them and practically all of them embodied "sex on legs", which spoke volumes of his perverted nature given his intentions.
"I'll make due, though I'll definitely need to step up my training if I want to make this work." Yoruichi examines herself. "I definitely beat Rangiku in the breasts department now." The woman mutters as she inspects her new body before she starts fondling her new K-cup breasts and lets out a moan. "Ooh, and sensitive too. I like it~"
"Um, excuse me?" She turns to Shizuka. "But could you please stop that, miss…?"
"Yoruichi. Yoruichi Shihoin, nice to meet ya~" The woman, Yoruichi, introduces herself with a cheshire smile.
"Nice to meet you, Yoruichi. I'm Wanda Zatara." Wanda introduces herself. "Anyways, as much as I would love to chat more, we're on a mission to stop that son of a bitch from reshaping the multiverse to rule as an All-Powerful God and make all women his sex slaves. You in?"
"Hell yeah I'm in!" Yoruichi growled, her smile instantly turning into a dark scowl. "I'm gonna take that bastard's head off."
"You and me both, Yoruichi-san." Anna says, a fire appearing in her eyes and those of every other woman present.
"This is gonna be a massacre. I can't wait! Hahaha!" Omega!Tempester laughed.
"Right. We should let Kisuke-san know that the engine room is ours." Sariel suggests and Yoruichi perks up at the name.
"Kisuke!? He's here!?" A shocked Yoruichi said.
"If you are referring to Kisuke Urahara, then yes. Based on your reaction, I assume you know him somehow?" Larcade inquires.
"Know him? He's a lifelong friend of mine! What's he doing here?" Yoruichi asks in surprise.
"Asmodeus-kun summoned him and other individuals from other universes to help stop Rustyrose from reshaping the multiverse. Kaguya, Sariel, Mammon, Belial, and myself were also summoned by Asmodeus-kun for that purpose as well." Shizuka answered. "I'm surprised you and Kisuke-san are acquainted with each other given that Asmodeus-kun had just summoned him today, but then again Asmodeus-kun did warn him that Rusty and Towa might have friends of his under their control and it appears that was true in your case."
Suddenly a loud rumble catches everyone's attention and they all turn to the Emerald Altar glowing intensely.
"Is that supposed to happen?" An anxious Kaguya asks.
"Take a guess." Belial said.
A dark wave of negative energy ripples from the altar and throws the group back, hitting the wall and knocking them out.
Outside
In the vacuum of space, the [Aincrad] can be seen bound by six towing cables; three of them have been disconnected.
The perspective switches to show Métis with her visor down, working on one of the cables. Her view shows a cluster of wiring and circuitry before she cuts one of the cables.
BOMB DISARMED
"Athena. This one has been disarmed." Métis said.
Athena transforms her right hand into a sword. With a swing, she slices the cable from its socket, letting it dangle freely in the vacuum of space.
"That makes four. Only five more to go." Athena comments.
"Right. Onto the next one." Métis flies towards the next cable.
But that's when Athena senses something, a large power. "Métis. You need to turn back, something is coming."
"?" Métis stops before quickly moving left as something passes her by at astonishing speeds before stopping.
She is a woman with a buxom yet muscular figure with short black hair, stunning blue eyes, tanned complexion, and an outfit comprised of a black sports bra, skintight black spandex plans that almost appeared to be painted on her legs, and black boots that did nothing to hide her physically fit yet extremely voluptuous hourglass figure and showed off her massive L-cup breasts and equally massive heart-shaped ass.
'This woman… She shares physical features with the woman Asmodeus-kun fought in Edolas.' Athena thought as she stared analytically at the newcomer. 'This may prove to be a challenge.'
The woman in question suddenly disappears from Athena's sight in a black blur, before Athena is suddenly blown away a considerable distance due to receiving a rather powerful punch from her Kryptonian foe.
'I best take this seriously or this woman could cost me or Métis our lives.' Athena mentally noted before utilizing [Kaioken] in conjunction with her [Chaos Energy]. 'I'll need to subdue her fast before she can impede Metis!'
The black-haired Kryptonian charges at Athena with a punch but the bio-android simply reappears behind her before the attack can connect. She stops before her body is bombarded with hundreds of blows from seemingly nowhere as she is suddenly sent flying towards the habitat in the inner ring and crashes.
'I need to step it up. That attack wouldn't keep her dazed for long.' Athena thought as she increasingly channeled her [Aura] and [Ki] in conjunction with her [magic] and [Chaos Energy] before sensing a massive surge of power coming from the direction of the female Kryptonian, only to see her in the same solar transformation her blonde counterpart used in Edolas, with solar energy and [Negative Chaos Energy] radiating off her. 'Dangerous, indeed.'
Back in the habitat, the Kryptonian female gets up from the crater only to be suddenly grabbed by the neck and lifted up by Athena before smashing her back down again, and again, and again.
"Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep." Athena chants as she tries to knock her out. However, she is stopped by a hand grabbing her face and throwing her a considerable distance.
The Kryptonian lifts off and her body starts to flare before exploding like a supernova, transforming into what can be described as a living black sun.
The transformed Kryptonian's eyes start to glow before she gets suddenly bombarded by Métis' photon bombs.
"Métis! Keep her distracted!" Athena yells as her twin continues her assault before she is hit with enhanced Heat Vision.
"Release [Babel Restriction Protocol: Level 2]." As soon as those words are uttered, Athena's body suddenly turns crimson red as it radiates with massive [Chaos Energy].
"!?" The living sun stops her assault as she senses the absurd waves of power coming from below before the red face of Athena appears mere inches away from her own, obscuring her vision before suddenly bombarded with a barrage of strong hits at her while using [Chaos Control] to appear from at different places, giving her opponent no time to counter.
Athena kicks her in the chest at an angle, sending her upwards before reappearing above, her arm cannons fully charged.
"[Chaos Blast]!" She yells and fires a bright red beam that swallows the woman whole, forcing everyone else to cover their eyes from the intense light.
When the light subsides, they see the Kryptonian on the ground, unconscious, her body back to normal but with large patches for her skin completely burned.
Athena takes a knee as her body releases steam and it returns to its original color.
Just then Métis lands and walks over to her twin. "Are you alright, sister?"
"Yes, thank you." She raises her hand and clenches it as she smiles. "Incredible. So this is what the [Babel Restriction] is like. What a rush!"
The [Babel Restriction Protocol] is a special feature within both Athena and Métis that allows them to tap into the [Chaos Force: the source of all [Chaos Energy]. The lower the level, the more power the androids can call upon.
However, the androids can't reach the lowest level of their own. As a fail safe, they require another person to gain access, which can be either Asmodeus or Lamy herself.
"Wow. You sure left this place a mess." Athena's and Métis' eyes widened and they whip their heads around to see me standing there with a smile.
"Asmodeus-kun! But what are you doing here!?" Athena exclaims.
"I was curious as to why I felt an energy signature near-identical to Power Girl's when she was under Rusty's control, and now I see why." I look at the woman's still form on the ground before turning back to Athena. "Defeating a Kryptonian is no easy task, Athena. You've come a long way since getting that body and undergoing two years of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Cell would be proud of you, and I certainly am now."
Athena blushes shyly at the praise before watching [The Gamer] walk towards the woman and examine her.
Name: Divine
Title: Power Girl Clone
Affiliation: Maxwell Lord, Grimoire Heart
Level: 552
HP: 788,034
MP: 0
SP: 5,787,901
AP: 0
Thoughts about you: n/a
"A clone of Power Girl, huh? Well, it does explain the resemblance." I comment as I use [Psionic Manipulation] and [Salvation] on her. 'Guess I shouldn't be surprised that Rusty went after her as well. Whether because of the sheer might of Kryptonians or the fact that she's the only character in DC besides Diana who can truly rival Power Girl in terms of beauty and sex appeal due to being a black-haired clone of her.'
"Ugh… my head." Divine grumbles as she stirs awake. "When I get my hands on those two scumbags, I'm gonna-!" She pauses as her eyes regain their focus and the first thing she sees is a pair of beautiful silver eyes, accompanied by the most handsome man she has ever seen. 'Oh fuck, he's hot!'
100 Affection from Divine (100/100)
[Well, that didn't take much effort. Another Kryptonian to add to the harem. And her black hair is a plus]
"Hi, you might be a little out of it. I just broke the brainwashing." I told her.
"Who… are you?" Divine asks.
"My name's Asmodeus. Nice to meet ya!" I give her a charming smile that makes her blush harder.
Before I knew it, Divine immediately pulled me in for a passionate and searing kiss, before eventually pulling away.
"I don't really have a name, but you can call me Divine. And you have my eternal gratitude and you can count on me for anything you want from me, and I do mean anything~" Divine purred in a husky tone. 'I can already tell he'd be a way better boss than that arrogant douchebag Maxwell Lord, and definitely a good lover from the looks of it. It even feels natural to call him 'Master' because of those things, making him just my type!'
"Well… glad to see you're motivated." I said. "Anyways, my friends and I are on their way to tearing down Rusty and Towa's plan. You in?"
"Am I in?" Divine's smile is full of teeth as her eyes glow red. "Hell yeah! I want nothing more than to crush their skulls under my boots!"
"Awesome!" I said before continuing. "By the way, do you know someone called Power Girl? Because aside from the hair, you look exactly like her."
"Yeah, I know who she is. I'm her clone after all." Divine reveals, but I already know that. "And while I don't like her, I don't exactly hate her either. I do hate my 'creator' Maxwell Lord, he can go to Hell." She then gives me a sultry smile as she lovingly wraps her arms around my neck and firmly pressing her massive L-cup breasts against my chest. "So, would you prefer if I call you by your name or simply just 'Master'? I'm perfectly fine with either~"
I couldn't help but sweatdrop. "You can call me whatever you want, though I greatly appreciate the sudden loyalty for what it's worth."
Divine giggled before giving me another peck on the lips. "Don't mention it. And I'm more than willing to prove my worth and loyalty in more ways than one when this is over, Master~"
I then turn towards Athena. "I have to go, as I left some of my newfound allies rather suddenly when I sensed Divine's power." I grab Divine's shoulder. "I trust you two will keep free the [Aincrad] and protect from any other surprises?"
Athena nodded. "Of course, you can count on us, Asmodeus-kun."
"Good." I said before turning back to Divine. "Let's make those two bastards pay."
Divine eagerly nods before I teleport us away.
Métis walks forward. "Come. We need to disarm the other bombs."
"Right." However, before they can move, they sense an enormous energy surge above them and when they look to see the [Aincrad] glowing dark blue.
"What-" A massive blast of [Negative Chaos Energy] surges from the base and hits the two android hybrids, overloading their systems and promptly collapsing like stringless puppets.
Main Hall
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
The sounds of steel clashing against steel echo in the infested hall as the Sagiri twins' attacks are easily blocked and thrown back.
*CLANG!*
*CLANG!*
"Damn, you weren't joking when you said she was strong, Yuko." Yoko admits with a shortness of breath.
Sayo pants her right leg on the floor causing it to cave in before launching herself at incredible speeds at Yoko as she attempts to mount a defense but she was overpowered and pinned to the ground.
The brainwashed nurse lets out an animalistic roar at Yoko before proceeding to punch her over and over, her metal gauntlets and inhuman strength draining her [Aura] rapidly as she sinks further into the ground.
"Enough!" Yuko swings her blade, firing a blue crescent wave of energy.
Sayo turns just in time to be caught in the attack and gets blasts into the wall.
Yuko rushes to her twin. "Are you alright?" She offers Yoko her hand.
"I'll live…" Yoko takes her hand and Yuko pulls her up.
*CRASH!*
The twins turn back to watch Sayo dig herself out of the wall, staring intensely at them through the black empty sockets of her mask.
"Do you have any suggestions on how to stop her?" Yoko asks as she takes a fighting stance.
"Yeah: don't stay still." Yuko told her. 'Irene really hit the nail on the head. Rustyrose just keeps finding new ways to prove he's even worse than we thought.'
Sayo charges forward with animalistic ferocity.
"[Crushing Evil, Spreading the Truth: Absolute Heaven]!" Gildarts leaps forward and hits the kunoichi with a Crush-infused punch, only to be stopped by the sudden appearance of a ribcage.
"What!?" Screamed Gildarts before he is thrown away by a skeletal arm.
Muscle and skin begin to manifest around the ribcage, taking the form of a large magenta avatar with a feminine build, its face framed by long flowing hair with an appendage that takes the form of a blindfold around its eyes. Its primary weapon is a giant arm cannon that replaces its right arm, its appearance is akin to a flower bud about to bloom.
Her empty black eyes were now purple with a ripple pattern encompassing the whole eye, with 6 tomoes in each eye.
At the same time, the Sagiri twins struggle to keep up with Sayo.
'I need to stop Sayo soon, not just to save her, but to help the others with that woman. If her eyes are anything like Asmodeus-kun's or Goryu's, she will be a tricky foe.' Yuko thought in frustration.
Yuko raises her sword up. "Let's do this, nee-san."
"Right." Yoko slips her blade back in its scabbard.
"[Limit Break]!" In a burst of light, the two transform into their battle forms.
"Let's go!" The two vanish from sight and reappear close to Sayo attacking on both sides.
The brainwashed nurse parries all of their blows, however, as the fight ensues, Sayo starts to make mistakes. Her blows aren't as precise as before and she's leaving small openings, enough for the sisters to deliver deep slashes on her body.
Yet despite the injuries, Sayo is unaffected as she goes on the offensive again.
Yoko fires a barrage of ki blasts from her hand, but Sayo dodges them all at incredible speeds before charging at Yoko for a haymaker.
However, Yuko steps in at the last second and blocks Sayo's fist with her sword, causing a gust of wind to pick up behind her.
"Oh yes, you are definitely stronger than last time, and faster too." Yuko remarks before pushing Sayo back.
Yoko converges her [Aura] and [Ki] into the blade before swinging it in an arc, unleashing a green crescent wave.
Sayo blocks the energy attack with her metal gauntlets before she is engulfed in an explosion.
However, the Sagiri twins knew it wasn't over and sure enough, an unharmed Sayo walks out of the smoke as pieces of her destroyed gauntlet fall on the floor.
Sayo puts a fist in her other hand and cracks her neck.
"Round 1's over, huh?" Yuko said.
The fight's just beginning.
Meanwhile, the others dodge a chakra-blast from the [Susanoo's] arm cannon, colliding with the wall behind them resulting in a huge explosion.
"You know, I thought it was amazing when Asmodeus used this ability, but it's horrible to be on the receiving end of it!" Gildarts complained.
"Focus, Gildarts! I don't wanna hurt this poor woman given that she's a fellow victim of that bastard, but we need to stop her!" 21 reprimands in her Majin form as she, Konomi, and Chisato unleash a barrage of energy blasts against their opponent, with Dimaria charging a combination blast of [Time God Slayer Magic, [Aura], [Ki, and [Chaos Energy] in her hybrid form.
"[Time God's Shift: Accelerate]!" Dimaria yells as she unleashes her attack against the [Susanoo, causing it to degrade before it falls apart and its summoner also falls to her knees.
"[Time God Slayer Magic] allows me to control the very foundations of time itself. I can reverse it, accelerate it, and so much more." Dimaria states.
21 quickly puts it together. "I see! You send the [Susanoo] forward in time to a point where all its energy was spent!"
Dimaria nods. "But I have to be careful. If you don't have a good grasp of time, then I can unravel the space around us easily."
During the two years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Asmodeus helped her train her new magic and explained its potential, as well as the dangers of letting such a power go awry. He said that time is very fickle and that it's easily abused. He also said that Rustyrose likely gave her the Lacrima because of her ancestry and magic.
Flashback
"It's thanks to your [God Soul] that you're been able to use this magic so effectively. It's made your body more resilient and more sensitive to anomalies in time." Asmodeus ponders for a moment. "It may also be possible that you'll manifest other abilities from the soul inside you.
"Does this mean I will become a god of time?" Dimaria asks.
"Maybe, I honestly don't know." Asmodeus admits. "With all the stuff Rusty put inside you girls, it may have been his end goal to have goddesses in his harem."
"Bleg." Dimaria gagged.
"But hey. His loss, our gain. We'll use the power he abused against him, and give him a beatdown he won't walk out of." He smiles and Dimaria smiles in turn.
Flashback ends
"Huh. I didn't think manipulating time could be so dangerous." Konomi comments.
"It's not when you use it on a smaller scale. But [Time God Slayer Magic] is on a league of its own, so I have to keep any alterations at a minimum." Dimaria said.
Meanwhile, the brainwashed ninja starts to get up before she is suddenly bound by thorny vines.
"Now, now. We can't have you resisting, now can we?" Kyôka walks towards her. "You know, I always wondered just how durable you girls are while under his control. Let's find out, shall we?"
However, before Kyôka can do anything, she is suddenly sent flying back by a sudden burst of force coming from the woman.
She stands up and quickly destroys vines that restrained her.
"Tch. I knew this was too easy." Chisato said.
The woman clasps her hands together as energy spreads around them. "[Storm Release: Laser Circus]!" A volley of laser beams shoots out from the energy field and rapidly converges on the group.
Gildarts infused his arm with [Crush] swinging it, sending a wave of his [Aura]-infused magic at the beams destroying it.
21 powers up and transforms and uses her [Telekinesis] to redirect the beams back to the woman, which get absorbed into her the closer they get.
"Be careful! She has the same abilities that Asmodeus has!" 21 yelled.
*BOOM!*
Suddenly a large explosion grabs their attention and they see the Sagiri twins jumping away from the berserk Sayo.
The wild nurse quickly grabs the two women by their shoulders and throws them far away like baseballs.
Jellal dashes forward at Sayo. "[Jiu Leixing]!" He creates nine lightning-based swords behind him, each infused with a combination of [Ki] and [Aura] and fires them at point-blank, pushing her back a bit.
"She was able to tank my [Jiu Leixing] at point-blank!?" A shocked Jellal said.
Sayo then charges at Jellal.
"[Meteor]!" Jellal's body glows gold and leaps back a great distance just as Sayo nearly punches his face.
Seeing an opportunity, Gildarts hits the floor with a powerful strike. "[Mizuwari]!" His magic quickly spreads, leveling the entire floor in front of him and trapping Sayo in a bed of rubble.
Chisato then summons a magic circle under the rubble that turns it gray, freezing it in time.
However, it doesn't take long for the bed of rubble to explode outwards and Sayo climbs out unharmed.
"No way. She can move even in frozen time!? Just what kind of monster did those two make!?" An alarmed Chisato exclaims in horror.
"This woman is determined, I'll give her that. To stop at nothing to complete her goal. I can respect that." Gildarts smirks.
"Yeah. But that mask of hers is really scary." A scared Theta on his shoulder says.
"Will you two quit complimenting her already!?" Chisato yells at them.
Thorns shout out from all angles and wrap Sayo tight, but it still wasn't enough to stop her advance.
"Tch. She is fighting the [Thorn Curse]! I won't be able to keep her restrained like this!" Kyôka slams her hands together and a large, monstrous flower covered with spikes and chains bursts under Sayo's feet and traps her inside its bulb.
However, Kyôka notices the bulb shaking as her rattling grows louder before it bursts and Sayo lunges towards the Etherious like a predator before being kicked away by Yoko.
"Hurry up and find a way to stop her!" Yoko tells the group as she and her sister run after her.
"I think we can help with that." Kyôka turns to see 21 and Dimaria approaches her. "We will share our [Chaos Energy] with you, and you use it in conjunction with [Macro] to stop her and free her from Rustyrose's control."
Kyôka nods as 21 and Dimaria each place a hand on Kyoka's shoulders and channel [Chaos Energy] into her, making her stronger than ever before.
"Let's do this!" Kyôka unleashes the full power of her [Curse] and points it all at Sayo. The [Chaos Energy] flowing into her resonates with her desire to stop and subdue her foe, significantly augmenting the strength and potency of the [Curse] exponentially, which was more evident as Sayo suddenly stops moving before gradually losing consciousness.
Yuko quickly rushes to her friend and catches her before she falls to the floor, the sudden stop though does cause her red oni mask to slide off, revealing a beautiful sleeping face framed with blue locks of hair underneath.
"Thank goodness." Yuko whispers she picks up Sayo and carries her bridal-style just as the rest of the group walks in.
"So, she's finally down, huh?" Gildarts smiles lecherously as he gets a good look at Sayo. "Damn, she's hot as hell!" And then gets smacked by 21. "Ow! What did I do!?"
"While I know you are a good man at heart, Gildarts-san, need i remind you that Sayo was brainwashed and altered to suit the desires of a power-hungry degenerate like Rustyrose? Take it from another one of his victims when I say that being the target of perverse admiration is the last thing any of us want." 21 scolded, causing Gildarts to look down in shame.
"Yay, we did it!" Theta cheers happily as tiny fireworks explode in the background.
"Now, there's only one last thing we need to do." Yoko turns to the doors beyond.
21 walks up to the doors and places her hands on it. "The doors sealed shut. We need the key if we want to get inside."
"I think I can help with that." The group whips back to see Kisuke with Lady Avalon, along with Ennie, Luso, Faris and Touka.
"Kisuke!? Avalon!?"
"That's right. The handsome owner of the famous Urahara Shop and his beautiful employees have arrived to save the day~" Kisuke sang.
"You may bow~" Lady Avalon adds.
"H-Hi." Faris shyly waves at them.
"Hello!" Luso happily waves while Ennie rolls her eyes.
"What are you doing here!?" Yuko demands.
"Why else? To help. Speaking of…" Kisuke points the screwdriver at the door and activates it. "Open Sesame~"
With a click, the doors open.
"Well come on." Kisuke walks in and quickly the others follow.
When they enter, the Control Room is completely untouched by the infection outside, however, they are met by the sound of a bell tolling.
"Whoa, I didn't know Asmodeus was into gothic. This place gives me the creeps." Gildarts comments as he feels a chill running down his spine.
"What is that?" Yuko asks, referring to the bell.
"A warning. The engines are going critical. We are out of time." Kisuke walks up to the controls but sees that they're dead. "Crap."
"Perhaps the interface to your right may be the key." Sigma suggests.
"Huh?" Kisuke looks to his right and, sure enough, there's a convenient screwdriver-sized hole in the console.
"Ah. Thanks, Sigma." He inserts the [Sonic Screwdriver] inside and immediately a soft whirl is heard as the room powers up.
"Now let's shut Rusty's scheme down." Kisuke inputs the commands into the keyboard.
ERROR!
"What? That's not right."
21 walks towards Kisuke. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know. The system isn't accepting my commands." Kisuke says as he runs a quick scan.
Low Power.
WARNING!
Main systems compromised.
Dimensional integrity corrupted.
Catastrophic system failure imminent.
"This is not good." Sigma said.
"Tch. Is this thing even reliable?" Dimaria comments in annoyance.
"The emeralds have been active for too long, they're generating far more power than the [Aincrad] can contain. It's going to explode and take this dimension with it." Kisuke reveals.
"Can you stop it?" 21 asks.
"Well-" The two jump back as a shower of sparks bursts followed by a small explosion from the controls. "No!"
"It appears that the computer has a counterpoint." Sigma comments.
"What happened?" Gildarts asks the two scientists.
"Power surge. The console's completely fried, I can't shut the engines down." Kisuke pulls out the sonic and sees that it's completely burnt. "Crap."
"Is there anything else you can do?" Chisato asks.
"No. Not from here at least." Kisuke says. "The only way to stop this now is to shut down the emeralds directly, but that still won't stop the universe from tearing itself apart."
"Then how do we stop it!?" Yoko yells, clearly becoming frustrated and concerned at the thought of that monster succeeding in his plan.
Lady Avalon turns to Yoko and smiles. "Don't worry, everyone. I'm sure the solution will make itself known to us soon."
Just then, Mirajane Strauss suddenly appears between the group and she's holding a giant green gem that's as big as a person.
"Special delivery." Mira happily quips.
*BOOM!*
A large explosion blows a pair of large ornate golden doors off their hinges as a figure steps out of the smoke.
"So, this is where the magic happens." I look around and smile. "A bit tacky for my liking."
The room is spacious, enough for a transformer to move freely without issue. The walls and floors are seemingly made out of gold with a line of red pillars and a carpet heading to the center of the room and a glass roof above it.
At said center is a giant world tree with black bark with even darker leaves in its branches. It is radiating immense power. Hanging on those branches are fruits that take the shape of transparent orbs with yellow flames inside giving them the appearance of lanterns.
However, what draws my attention is what's in the center of the tree: a beautiful naked woman seemingly growing out of its body, but I knew who it was just the face and the energy she's exuding.
"Selene." I called out.
"Don't bother. In her current state she can't feel anything, she's locked in a perpetual dream state."
I look down and see a throne at the end of the path and sitting on said throne a pale man with blue skin and white hair styled in a mohawk, having a line on both cheeks that goes from the eyes until his jaw. His outfit consists a black suit with red shoes, red coat, and a pair of fingerless black gloves on both hands.
[Mira? What's he doing here?]
"I'm impressed. You managed to cause me a lot more trouble than I thought. Not only have you taken my darling wives, but you had your fairy friends tear apart my base. Frankly, I am very upset right now." Mira says in a familiar voice.
Rustyrose? But why is he in Mira's body?
[Didn't Sirin mention something about Rusty?]
Flashback
"I tore him to pieces. I plucked out his eyes, charred his skin, tore off his limbs and removed his lungs and larynx. I showered him with [Honkai Energy] and I watched him wry in slow and painful agony as my power ate away at his living remains like cancer." Sirin sneers as her anger flares. "But before I could finish him off, that old hag stabbed me with this cursed sword, and used that moment of confusion to seal me away."
Flashback ends
Oh right.
"So this is how you survived even after what Sirin did to you. She certainly didn't hold back, not that I can blame her. A little surprised Towa apparently used Mira's DNA to restore your body, definitely not the most attractive appearance. But that's karma for you." I replied mockingly. "Also, 'darling wives'? Those girls were just toys; your playthings. And all of them thoroughly hate you with a passion after what you did to them. And what did you expect regarding your base? You're trying to trigger a fucking big bang and turn the multiverse into your personal fantasy world."
Rusty scoffs. "As I thought, you fail to understand my motivation. I am creating a utopia where the evils of humanity have never been touched, an ideal that Master Hades has worked his entire life to achieve, with me as its god. However, even godhood can get lonely eventually, so why not populate the multiverse with my perfect offspring, born from the most powerful and exotic female specimens the multiverse has ever produced?!" He exclaims. "Surely you, a fellow god, can understand."
[Yup it's official, he's gone coo coo for cocoa puffs]
I break out in laughter. "Seriously!? You–You think we're GODS!? HAHAHAHAHA! That has to be the greatest joke I've ever heard!" The laughter comes to a sudden halt as my expression hardens with visible hatred in my eyes. "I could give two shits about what your motivations are. You crossed a line you should have never stepped on, and I am here to remind you of your place."
"And what line, pray tell, did I cross?" Rusty asks.
"You went after what doesn't belong to you. My Chaos Emeralds, my friends, and above all my FAMILY!" I spat as power surges through my body. "Did you think, FOR ONE FUCKING SECOND, that I would allow you to run rampant like this!? No, you are going to DIE here in the most painful way imaginable!"
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
The room shakes as the sounds of distant explosions can be heard in the background.
I let out a dark laugh. "Such a beautiful sound, wouldn't you say? Fairy Tail is hard at work, demolishing your ambition brick by bloody brick." My tone was dripping with venom. "I also took the liberty of sending them some eager volunteers to hasten the process." My smile was full of teeth. "Hope you don't mind."
But Rusty doesn't respond to my taunt, instead looking at me like a disappointed parent.
"So this is how you want to spend your last breaths? A final attempt to get a rise out of me?" He spat. "You could have conquered this entire universe, but instead you decide to play wizard with a bunch of neanderthals? You are a disappointment. A waste of your true potential."
[Wow. Is this guy for real? Does he really think his words have any meaning right now?]
"A waste of my potential? And what do you call this? Your full potential?" I gesture to the golden throne room. "This is just you taking your vanity to the extreme. I mean, seriously, gold? Who the hell would want a room made of shining metal? All of that polish is just gonna make you go blind." More explosions erupt as I stare directly at Rusty's red eyes. "No, you are a narcissistic asshole with a massive God Complex. This is you being petty that there's someone out there who is much stronger than you, who has friends, who has women who love him naturally and without resorting to some sick experiments."
Rusty's grip on the arms of his throne tightens as his enemy continues.
"To love someone is to not only trust, respect, and care for them, but to also CHOOSE to have a certain degree of vulnerability with them." I shake my head. "And unlike you, I can understand that all decisions have consequences and I can face the truth no matter how uncomfortable it may be." I reminisce of my fight with my Shadow Self. "And thanks to my experience, I know EXACTLY what your type of behavior is like and how it always ends."
*SMASH!*
Rusty crushes the arms of this throne.
"ENOUGH!" He yells, [Evil Ki] and [Negative Chaos Energy] bursts from his body as he stands up. "I see now it was stupid to persuade you to see my views. I will kill you, then I will destroy the fairies and take all of the women for myself!"

"Let's dance motherfucker!" I turn [Dark King] and charge at Rusty.
The two jump at amazing speeds and their fists collide, creating a shockwave that destroys the pillars and throne.
They struggle as they start a tug of war, wisps of electricity fly out and level the floor. They then break the deadlock and quickly throw a fury of punches and kicks at each other, but Rusty's blows could barely do any damage due to my resilient [Aura].
"C'mon Rusty, is that the best you got? Because I'm not even trying." I taunt and deliver a powerful sweeping kick that sends the mage-turned-demon straight towards the wall.
As Rustyrose falls from the wall to the ground, he slowly gets back up and continues glaring at me.
"Seriously, have you done ANY serious training since gaining that new body? On second thought, don't say anything, I already know the answer." I said with mild disappointment. Mira was a bio-Android just like Cell and 21, and while he was technically considered below them in terms of potential, his genetic templates granted him great untapped potential nonetheless. Mix that with magic, alchemy, and [Chaos Energy] then you would have a pretty powerful and dangerous enemy. But it seems he didn't put as much effort into actually training, and now it was coming back to bite him.
But hey, his loss is my gain.
Rusty flies upwards. "I have learned enough to beat you, Asmodeus! You have yet to see the fruits of my research!" He waves his hands and from the sea of black leaves, a large perfectly spherical fruit descends.
I feel a foreboding chill running down my spine as I stare at the fruit, and given the various franchises I knew of where individuals could get stronger by eating certain food, I knew they likely served a purpose. Though I was getting reminded of the God Tree from Naruto and the Tree of Might from Dragon Ball, in particular.
"What, are you taking a snack break in the middle of the fight?" I asked in a dismissive tone as Rusty flew towards the fruit.
"Hehehe." Rusty plucks the fruit from its branch. "Behold the culmination of my research of [Alchemy] and [Chaos Energy: the Svartalfheim Fruit."
"Svartalfheim?" I mutter. That name sounds familiar.
[Svartalfheim is one of the nine realms in Norse mythology. It's the home of the Dark Elves, who are opposite to the Light Elves of Alfheim. It is also the home of the dwarves, who are incredibly skilled in smithing and mining]
"This tree was born from my experiments with the ordinary Tree of Might. I have enhanced it, made it stronger, and capable of birthing powerful fruits." Ruty explains.
[But wait, from what we remember, the Tree of Might consumes the energy and life force of PLANETS to nourish itself and grow fruits. If Rusty enhanced it…]
"Then it will need more energy, something beyond a planet." I finish before my eyes widen in horror. "You didn't-"
"I used the energy of entire universes to nourish my tree, nurture it into what you see now." Rusty reveals.
"So then… all of the women you kidnapped-"
"Are the last survivors of their native universes. Orphans with no place to call home." Rusty's smile turns wicked. "But that won't last much longer, because soon they will have a new home… with me as their god and husband."
[This guy…]
I clench my fists so tight that they start to bleed.
"Tell me something…" I mutter loud enough for him to hear. "How does Selene fit into all of this?"
"Selene? Oh the dragon god." Rusty didn't even remember her name. "She had a role once, I think, but when we discovered the true power of the emeralds, she was useless to us. I wanted to make her a puppet but Towa suggested we use her to strengthen the Svartalfheim Tree so that the fruits can grow faster and be ready for harvest."
"I always knew you were the lowest and vilest of scum, but I truly underestimated just how low you can go." I grit my teeth as my rage reaches a boiling point, even [Gamer's Mind] was having a hard time containing it. "It's bad enough you kidnapped Selene and all of those other girls to fulfill your perverted fantasies, but now you destroy entire universes in your thirst for power?!"
[Not gonna lie, this definitely puts Rustyrose on the top ten list of worst scumbags in the multiverse]
"It was a necessary sacrifice in my ascension to godhood. Which you will now witness!" Rustyrose proclaims as he eats the fruit in his hand. Immediately afterwards, a massive surge of power and bright light engulfed him.
When the light fades, Rusty's appearance has changed. His skin color is a lighter shade of blue, and his eyes are no purple. He gains white fur all over his body, and his hair grows out, making him appear similar to a SSJ4 though tailless. He wears a black open leg cape, red pants, and black boots with yellow lining. He gains a golden Grimoire Heart symbol on his chest.

I simply stared before declaring, "Wow… what a rip-off." Before being suddenly slammed in the stomach and sent flying.
-51,899,810 Damage (50%)
380,341,355/406,291,260 AP
278,185,840/278,185,840 HP
I stop myself and look up at Rusty who hasn't moved from his spot. "W-What the hell!?"
A second impact rang out as something slammed my back, before seeing that Rusty was gone and blitzing me over and over, leaving behind white balls of light and detonating all at once, slinging me to the ground.
-80,110,001 Damage (50%)
340,286,354/406,291,260 AP
278,185,840/278,185,840 HP
'This power… it isn't ki or even magic based.' I put one foot up and rise on my feet. 'No… this is [Chaos Control] taken to a whole other level. Did eating that fruit allow Rusty to achieve his own [Super Form]?"
"Do you see now? Do you see the power I now possess? The power of a god?" Rusty descends down with his arms crossed. "I can destroy you in any way I choose, I can stop time and bend space, create energy that can eclipse the stars themselves. THIS is the power you could have had if you didn't waste your time with the plebeians, the potential you so eagerly wasted!"
Wasted… I guess some would see it that way. I didn't do a lot of things most Gamer stories do. I didn't just focus on obtaining power. I didn't conquer Remnant though I could have done it easily, then it was only a matter of moving on to the next universe, and the next and next. I could have easily taken the [Spring Maiden] from Raven and killed her, but instead I spared her.
Why did I spare her again? It's not like she was that important to the overall story, but I still did so.
"Hmph. You were just a waste of time after all. What a drag." Rusty raises his arm and charges a large orb of [Chaos Energy]. "DIE!"
He fires the attack, vaporizing the floor underneath as it makes its way towards its target.
However, instead of a blinding energy attack, I see a woman wearing a white cloak with a smile on her face.
"Oh…" A thin smile appears on my face. "I remember."
I raise my arm and the attack collides with my palm.
"What!?" Rusty yelled.
"Do you wanna know why I 'wasted my potential' as you put it?" I suddenly asked. "It's because I don't fit the norm."
"?" Rusty was confused.
"I didn't choose to be reborn into this chaotic multiverse for power or conquest, I could give less of a damn about it. Sure, being strong is useful, but it's just a tool at the end of the day. It define me." I state. "No, I wanted freedom. Freedom to explore, to see impossible things, meet impossible people, find bizarre adventures, and just be my true self."
"What are you talking about!?" Rusty demands.
I chuckle. "What I'm saying, dear Rusty, is that we couldn't be so different. We couldn't get along even if we knew each other our whole lives. Because you live in the past, and I live in the moment. You are being controlled by a past that no longer matters while I have no strings on me." My smile grows a bit. "Do you understand?"
Rusty grits his teeth the longer he listens.
"You sure said all the crap you wanted back there." I crack both knuckles. "Sadly for you, I'm the type that takes such things to heart."
"GUAH!" Rusty doubles forward as he coughs blood before looking down to find his enemy punching him in the gut. 'B-But… when did-' But before he can finish he is sent flying upwards by the incredible punch.
I reappear above him with Instant Transmission and deliver a powerful kick that sends him to the other side. I continue using the technique to send him back and forth across the room like a football, building up high speeds before finishing it off with a Double Ax Handle sending him crashing into the ground, leveling the place.
Rusty groans as he opens his eyes before they shoot wide open as he sees Asmodeus holding a shining black energy orb.
"[Big Bang Kamehameha]!" I fire the attack at Rusty and is swallowed whole before exploding.
When the dust cleared, Rustyrose had gaping wounds all over his body, but I see them already regenerating and his power increasing due to the Saiyan DNA he likely got from Mira.
"Time to stop playing fair." I said before performing a few hand signs. "[Hidden Mist Jutsu]!"
Immediately, the entire chamber is shrouded in a thick veil of mist, and since it was artificial mist generated with [Chakra] and boosted with my [Ki] and [Aura, Rustyrose wouldn't be able to sense me through it.
When Rusty regains consciousness, he finds the entire room covered in a thick mist.
"Seriously? This petty parlor trick of yours won't stop me!" Rusty yells.
"Oh really? I rather think it works beautifully. It's so funny watching you tumble on whatever rocks you come across." The infuriating voice of Asmodeus echoes all over the mist.
As I say this, Rusty's foot hits a random rock and he stumbles causing me to rupture in laughter.
"I will find you, boy. And rip that smile off your face along with the rest of your head!" Rusty snarls.
"Really?" He hears him chuckle. "But we just got to the fun part."
*SQUELCH!*
"GAAAAH!" Rusty screams in pain as he sees a blade protruding from his chest, his purple blood dripping on the ground. "W-What…?"
"Give them back."
Rusty's eyes regain their focus as he sees the person behind this attack. "Y-You…! Golden Dark- GUUH!"
"Yuuki Rito, Lala-sama… Mikan." She looks up revealing her big magenta eyes and the tears running down her face. "GIVE THEM BACK TO ME!"
*SQUELCH!* *SQUELCH!* *SQUELCH!* *SQUELCH!* *SQUELCH!* *SQUELCH!* *SQUELCH!*
Multiple swords sprout from Rusty's body, effectively turning him into a pin cushion, before he is thrown away like garbage.
As Rusty tries to get back up, Yami quickly approaches him and pins him down with her foot.
"I HATE you, Rustyrose! You've taken everything from me and so many others! My friends! My home! My universe! And then you had the gall to try and make me your slave!" Yami screams and slices off one of his arms.
"She's not the only one, Rustyrose. We lost so much and suffered horribly because of you." A familiar feminine voice coldly states that sends shivers down his spine.
'No, please not her!' Rustyrose frantically thinks as he turns to the source of the voice, and his heart stops.
Standing before him was the most dangerous female he and Towa had kidnapped and one of the most powerful beings of all time: Jean Grey herself, the [White Phoenix]!
And she's PISSED!
"I've encountered numerous challenges, threats, and despicable beings on a near-constant basis throughout the years as a member of the X-Men, but you easily are among the worst." Jean says, moving closer to the now trembling Rustyrose. "If it wasn't for Asmodeus, you would have kept us in your little freezer forever."
"I had to freeze you! Neither of you could be controlled!" Rusty screams out, only to feel a crushing telekinetic pressure all over his body.
"And you wonder why? I'm one of my universe's most powerful telepaths, not to mention the vessel for one of the oldest and strongest cosmic entities in the multiverse." Jean gestures to the girl. "Yami here is essentially a living nanomachine colony, her brain can literally overwrite your brainwashing no matter how strong it is."
"And we aren't yours to control! We're living beings with our own wills and desires, not your property! But because you thought otherwise, we lost everything and suffered horribly!" Yami cries, tears still streaming down her face.
Yami then stabs him again multiple times, with Jean watching silently as the little assassin gets her fill, though she did have a fireball made of cosmic flames ready to be used at a moment's notice.
"Gah! Where is that bastard, Asmodeus?! I can't believe he released you two and is now hiding behind both of you like a coward!" Rusty spits out as he regenerates from his wounds.
"Who says I'm hiding? I just wanted to give the girls the chance to punish you before I finish you off." I said as the mist cleared enough to reveal myself with Emma, Natasha, and Divine by my side.
Rusty paled. "Oh no…"
"Remember me? Yeah, you do!" Divine cracks her knuckles.
Natasha's glares at him as electricity dances in her fingers.
"You want to do the honors, Emma?" Jean asks her teammate.
"With pleasure, Jean." Emma says as her entire body turns into diamond and approaches Rustyrose before stomping HARD on his crotch, causing him to squeal in pain. "Won't be so easy to use women like us to fulfill your depraved fantasies now, will it?"
Divine blows Rustyrose back with her Heat Vision as he is flung into a portal where Illyana is waiting on the other side and attacks, leaving a large deep slash wound across his chest.
"Gah!" Rusty yelps in pain before he is kicked back into the portal by the Mutant Sorceress.
He tries to get up but is quickly shot in vital areas by Natasha's [Widow Bites] before she charges in and restrains him in place.
"Y-You're dead… YOU ARE ALL SO FUCKING-" But suddenly Rusty's vocal cords are crushed. "...!?"
"Shut. Up! Just stop talking for once in your goddamn life!" Jean growls, her body lightly igniting in cosmic flames.
"I'd listen to the cosmic goddess if I were you, Rusty. And this is just the start, as these five lovely ladies aren't the only ones who want their pound of flesh from you. And I'll make sure you don't die until they are all satisfied." I said as Magik appeared behind me. "Considering you subjected so many girls to a living hell and took everything from them, it's only fair they get to do the same to you."
But just then, the room begins to rumble.
"What's going on?" Emma wonders.
My eyes widen as I feel the IMMENSE quantities of [Negative Chaos Energy] traveling to every corner of this place.
"Huhuhuhuhu…" Everyone hears the sound of laughter and turns to Rustyrose as his wounds regenerate. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Disgusting." Yami cringed at the sight.
"What is so funny, you rat?" Emma demands.
"It's begun!" Rusty says with glee.
The Halo Array powers up, its structure pulsing as [Negative Chaos Energy] starts to wrap around it.
In a certain lab, energy travels to two pods as its occupants start absorbing the energy, stirring from their slumber.
Towa smiles before letting out an unhinged cackle.
Everyone looks around as the entire room pulses with power.
"What's going on here!?" Emma asks.
Jean hugs herself, terrified, from seemingly nothing. "The hatred… the despair… so much darkness."
"Jean?" Emma turns to her friend with concern.
"Hehehehe…" The group turns to a chuckling Rustyrose.
"What's so funny?" Divine glares at the mad mage.
"You're too late… the Halo Array is now activated. The rebirth of the multiverse is about to unfold!" Rusty cackles.
"What the hell are you talking about!?" Emma demanded.
"The Genesis Wave." The girls turn to Asmodeus. "It is a phenomenon created using the energies of a Chaos Emerald to rewrite reality to the user's benefit. And with the power of all seven, it can go further beyond and its effects are irreversible."
"Yes." Rusty's wounds close and stand up triumphant. "Now, you will witness the birth of the [Ultimate Magic World] that we dreamed of!"
"Yeah… I don't think so." I said before glancing to my side. "Delta?"
Delta's life-size hologram appears, surprising everyone. "Executing system shutdown sequence."
Outside, the Halo's power begins to weaken before it is shut off completely. [Chaos Energy] seizes to travel from the [Aincrad] to the ring.
"What!? Delta!?" Rusty yells in shock.
"Indeed. It is nice to finally meet you face to face, and through a puppet." Delta says before turning to me. "I have already sent a message to the other teams, they should be here 63.5 seconds."
"Cool. Thanks, Delta." I said and the AI disappeared.
Rusty blinks horror, trying to process it all. "What's going on? Delta shouldn't be able to have full control. He said so himself!" But the horror only worsens when he hears that all-too familiar chuckle.
"Well… you're not completely wrong." I said with a smug grin.
Flashback
Lamy and her group run through the walkways, carrying an unconscious Meredy, Jenny, and Yukino as they make their way to their escape route.
"Is that…?" Lucy wonders and Ur nods.
"Yup. It's him alright. But who are those other three he's with?" Ur asks, sensing three unfamiliar energy signatures.
But that's when Lamy realizes something. "But wait, if we can sense him, doesn't that mean-" She's interrupted, however, when the man himself suddenly appears behind them along with Yami, Divine, Natasha, Illyana, Emma, and Jean.
"I knew that energy was familiar." I smile at the group. "Hello girls!"
"DARLING/MASTER!" Lamy and Ur lunged at me and I caught them in a tight embrace. "WE MISSED YOU!"
"I missed you, too. I missed you all." My voice brimming with pure emotion as I return their affection.
"A-hem." Emma clears her throat, grabbing my attention. "Are you not going to introduce us, Asmodeus?"
"Right." I gestured to the 6 girls. "Everyone. I would like you to meet Yami-chan, Divine, Jean Grey, Natasha Romanoff, Illyana Rasputin, and Emma Frost. They are among the various women I rescued after I escaped Towa's lab."
"Nice to meet you!" Jean says with a smile.
"Hello." Natasha said.
"Hi! My name's Lucy Heartfillia! I'm a mage from Fairy Tail!" Lucy bows.
"Hn." Yami nods in acknowledgement.
"I'm Illyana Rasputin. You can call me Magik." Illyana smiled. "Wow, you're so pretty."
"Thanks, I think you're pretty too!" Lucy smiles back.
"My name's Ur. I'm an Ice-Make mage, but I'm not affiliated with a Magic Guild. I'm one of Asmodeus' wives." Ur says without hesitation.
"W–One of them!? You have MULTIPLE WIVES!?" Jean shrieks in surprise as she turns back to me, her face as red as her hair.
"Can definitely see why." Divine smirked at the revelation, not put off since Kryptonian culture permitted polygamy even if it was rather uncommon prior to Krypton's destruction, which she knew thanks to the knowledge she gained from her genetic template.
"My, I didn't know you were such a lady killer." Emma's smile becomes mischievous. "Say, you wouldn't happen to have room for another, hm?"
"Emma, that's not funny!" Jean chastises her fellow telepath.
"Don't pretend like you weren't thinking about it too, Jean. There's no shame in it, especially since he's obviously a massive upgrade over your ex-husband." Emma coyly counters, causing Jean's face to become even redder from embarrassment but she ultimately didn't deny it.
[Thank goodness Jean revealed she is divorced from Scott. That means she's DEFINITELY fair game!]
"Considering the demonic and draconic energies I can detect from you, I'm not surprised." Magik noted in amusement before looking at Jean and Emma. "Don't treat it like it's unnatural or wrong, you two. A lot of supernatural races and mystical communities practice polygamy, including demons and dragons that possess human forms and aren't malevolent assholes."
"And I'm Lamy! I'm my Master's #1 servant!" Lamy exclaims, her rabbit ears wiggle happily.
"Is she a Mutant?" Jean wonders and starts patting her head. "Aw, you're so cute!"
"Stop it! I am not cute, I am a demon!" Lamy yells, but Jean just gushes over how cute she is.
"Looks like I'm not the only one calling you 'Master'." Divine says in amusement while looking at me.
"Asmodeus-san!" Nanoha skips towards her savior with a cheerful smile with Fate not far behind.
"Hey Nanoha-chan, Fate-chan. It's good to see you." I turn to their intelligent staves. "Raising Heart, Bardiche. I hope you're both doing well."
"[We are. Thank you for your concern]." Raising Heart said.
"[Certainly]." Bardiche adds.
"Jean and Emma here are powerful telepaths, they can read people's minds as well as manipulate them. I had them generate a psychic wave that would wipe Rusty's mental hold on the women he had sicced on us." I told them, shocking them.
"That was YOU!?" Lucy exclaims. "Thank you! Thank you for saving my friend!"
"You definitely have been busy, Asmodeus-kun." Ur turns to the two heroines. "Still, thank you for saving my granddaughter."
"It was no problem." Emma says.
"Still, I can't believe Rustyrose didn't brainwash you. I thought he would be ecstatic to have women as powerful and gorgeous as you in his ranks." Ur comments.
At the mention of his goal, all the new girls scowled.
"You aren't wrong in that regard, but there's more to it." I began. "Yami, Jean, and Emma, along with Nanoha and Fate, are among the many girls he and Towa kidnapped, but were unable to brainwash so instead they were frozen alive and pretty much forgotten. Divine, Natasha, and Illyana were another three of Rusty's brainwashed victims before I freed them."
"Well, you girls have my sympathy, considering he not only targeted all of us, but my daughter and Lucy's mother were also among his victims." Ur says while nodding to the other girls.
"I promised them revenge for the hell he made them go through and in exchange I will help them adjust to living with their new bodies." I revealed. All of the frozen women were disheartened when I told them that the modifications done to their bodies were permanent due to how extensive they were and the heavy usage of a Chaos Emerald involved in them, with some of them feeling disgusted and even seeing themselves as freaks. I also explained Divine's origin as a clone of Power Girl though Lucy and Lamy didn't know who that was yet, but Ur did due to encountering her on Edolas.
"So THAT'S why she heavily resembles that blonde bombshell from Edolas." Ur notes as she looks at Divine.
"But wait, what about her? She looks normal." Lucy gestures at Yami.
"Yami here is special. Her body is made up of nanomachines similar to Athena, which allows to alter any part of her body at will. She can shape her body into any form she wants. She can turn her hands into blades, sprout angel wings from her back, and turn her hair into giant fists." Yami then grows into an adult form before quickly changing back into her original state. "This also allows her body to adapt to nearly anything, including external influences like brainwashing or reconstruction since she can also default back to her original state."
"I'm not the biggest expert on technology, but that sounds like a stupid waste of time by Rustyrose, even by his delusional standards." A slightly confused Lucy comments.
"He and Towa definitely have more than a few screws loose. The fact that they went after Jean, Emma, and Illyana here is proof of that." I said while gesturing at the three mutants. "They're members of one of the all-time greatest team of heroes in the multiverse called the X-Men. And only those with a death wish mess with the X-Men."
"You know about the X-Men, Asmodeus?" Jean says in surprise. She was caught a little off-guard when he seemed to recognize all the girls who were frozen despite none of them ever meeting him before, but they were initially too distracted by stopping Rustyrose to question it till now.
"Yep. While the X-Men and Mutantkind have unfortunately endured hardship in your universe and other similar universes, not all universes share such views. In fact, the X-Men along with their kind receive admiration, respect, and sympathy from billions of different universes for your capabilities, your various accomplishments against countless challenges, and for teaching the importance of recognizing and stopping discrimination in all forms." I revealed, which was the truth, and not just in my home universe. Any knowledgeable fan of various fictional franchises knew that prejudice caused a lot of trouble in a lot of franchises, like RWBY, Harry Potter, Naruto, One Piece, Rising of the Shield Hero, etc. "You and Emma, along with Storm, Rogue, Psylocke, Wolverine, Colossus, Beast, Iceman, Nightcrawler, and Charles Xavier are among the most well-known members of the X-Men throughout the multiverse, though there are plenty who know of other members like Magik here. Most individuals would consider it a deeply profound yet humbling honor to meet even just one of you, let alone multiple members, with me being no exception."
Jean, Emma, and Magik definitely were surprised by the revelation and their apparent profound impact on the multiverse, though they were ecstatic to know how highly I thought of them.
"Question Lamy." The Rabbit Etherious looks at her Master. "Which AI fragment did you get partnered with?"
"I believe I can answer that." A life-size hologram of Delta greets him. "Greetings, summoner."
"Delta? It's good to finally meet you." I said with a smile, holding back a squeal as one of my favorite characters from Red vs Blue is standing before me in the flesh (sort of but not really).
"The pleasure is all mine, sir." Delta replied. "How may I be of assistance?"
"Can you take control of the Halo and prevent Rusty from activating the Genesis Wave?" I asked.
"It is possible, however, I was only able to gain access to 26.66% of the ring's systems. It is not enough for the magnitude you require to complete your request." Delta states.
"How much time would it take to gain enough control?" I ask.
"As you are aware, I am only a fragment of the Alpha and hold a mere 10th of a full AI's processing power. It took shutting down my higher functions to access what I now have." Delta explains. "In order to dive deeper and gain full control, I would require the processing power of a full AI."
"How about the power of two AIs?" Everyone turns to Fate and Nanoha. "Our devices are intelligent. They are our equivalent to a full AI. They should help Delta process the excess data while he hacks the system."
Delta ponders at the magical girl's idea. "It is a feasible suggestion. However, there is a 46% chance that their program may become corrupted. This installation is much more advanced than what you may have experienced."
"[That is a chance we are willing to take, Mr. Delta.]" Raising Heart said.
"[You have done much for us, it is only… logical that we return the favor. Hehehe.]" Bardiche chuckles at his little joke.
"Very well, then. I look forward to working with you." Delta said.
"Okay, now that it's settled, how do we jack you three in?" I asked.
"There is an electronic lock just six meters from our current potion. You merely need to get us into range to gain access." Delta states.
"Alright, now let's get this started!" Ur exclaims.
Flashback end
"After that takeover, I told Lucy to go get everyone while Delta here acts as a beacon to lead the other fragments here. And the rest is history." I finished.
"You… you TRICKED ME!" Rusty charges towards me at lightspeeds but he doesn't get far as my [Susanoo] catches him without issue.
"No, you were just too arrogant to realize that you've been played. And now, it's time to pay the piper." I said.
"How can this… I have the power of chaos!" Rusty snarls. "Yet… HOW ARE YOU STRONGER THAN ME!?"
"It's elementary really." My [Susanoo's] starts to crush him. "You're weak."
"I couldn't agree with you more, darling."
"!" My group and I leap back as a ki purple ki saucer slices the avatar's arm off releasing Rustyrose.
I turn to look and see Towa standing by the destroyed entrance, but what grabbed my attention are the two clearly modified women standing side by side.
On her left is a young woman with spiky silver hair that sticks out with bangs framing both sides of her face while the majority of her hair is held up by what seems to be a ponytail. She has no eyebrows and instead has three thick red lines on her face, blue visors where her eyes are supposed to be and her skin is almost gray. She wears a blue bodysuit that hugs her extremely curvy body tightly with a white border on the chest with red and gold-colored gloves, boots and shoulder pads.
On her right is a woman who can only be described as the ultimate fusion of the Goddess of Beauty and the Queen of Succubi. She has long wavy pink hair, beautiful pink eyes that accompany her already beautiful face, and two thick horns protruding from both sides of her head. Her body is the epitome of sinfulness and curves, with her wide child-bearing hips, massive LL-cup breasts, and a large heart-shaped ass that her outfit does nothing to hide. A dark purple leotard which exposes her bare breasts, with dark purple hearts covering her nipples, along with arm-length purple gloves with frills at the edges and thigh high purple boots with silver flames at the edges.

Special Trait: Chaotic End, Eye of Hypnosis, Charmain Goddess Physiology
[Charmian Goddess Physiology]
Sephie is the ultimate variant of a race known as Charmians, a humanoid race who are endowed with the most beautiful voices and appearances of all time. Her very presence induces a primal lust on anyone who is within close proximity regardless of gender and species. Her cells never age or deteriorate, granting her eternal youth and super strength, and her voice can even calm the flames of war. Almost no being, including those normally immune to regular Charmians, can resist her.
[Eye of Hypnosis]
Allows the user to hypnotize any target just by looking, messing their perception so they view the caster as someone they must obey no matter what.
[Chaotic End]
An mutated version of [The End] with [Chaos Energy]. Allows the user to acquire and master all abilities and skills at 300% of their capabilities through the person's senses.
"... fuck." I cursed.
"Towa…?" Rusty looks and sees two women by her side, women that he has never seen before. He DEFINITELY would have remembered if he ever met the pink-haired woman before, considering she was easily the most beautiful female of all time. "Where did you get them?"
"I got them during our excursions throughout the multiverse, you fool." Towa spat out with clear annoyance. "I didn't tell you about them since I knew you would needlessly waste them before they could be complete. Or you would waste your time acting like an even dumber degenerate than usual the moment you saw Sephie here. Not that I could blame you, since she now personifies beauty and sex appeal in its ultimate form, cranked up to infinity. My greatest masterpiece, untainted by your foolishness." Towa condescendingly boasts while acknowledging Sephie's effects on everyone, which made sense since she appeared like a paradoxical fusion of divine beauty and sinful sexuality that everyone couldn't help but stare at. "As for the other one, well, every god needs an enforcer. And who better for that job than a fused [Legendary Super Saiyan] who has been corrupted by the last remnants of the Tuffle race?"
"Towa…!" Rustyrose stands as his expression morphs into pure rage. "You would dare betray me? Your GOD!?"
Towa rolls her eyes and scoffs. "Get over yourself. You are not and never will BE a god. You are just a weak human who I came across by chance, so easy to manipulate. Granted, I did not believe you would last this long, or be compatible with Mira's cells, but that is my fault for underestimating your species' tenacity."
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Rusty snaps and explodes with unrestrained power, pushing the girls and I back.
"TOOWWWWWAAAAAAA!" He launches himself at impossible speeds, ignoring the group and going straight for Towa.
Towa, however, is unaffected by Rusty's show of power. In fact, she looks bored.
"Disgusting." She snaps her fingers and immediately Rusty crashes head-first into the floor.
He stands up and looks at his hands. "W-What's going on!?" He tries to summon his power but nothing happens. "What have you done!?"
"I sealed off your power. You are no different from any other human now." Towa replies.
"WHAT!?" Rusty screams in horror.
"Yes, dear Rusty. You are no different from the 'lesser beings' you like to chastise?" Towa says with a cruel grin. "Did you think I would just hand you a new body composed of the DNA of some of the strongest fighters in my universe and NOT have a contingency plan? Especially given my past with your predecessor?"
"Honestly, I can't say I didn't see this coming." I blur out loud. "Towa isn't known for her loyalty. Even overlooking that, do you really think any self-respecting female would WILLINGLY support a depraved and power-hungry degenerate like you reshape the multiverse into your own personal fantasy world where all females are your obedient sex slaves? Even I saw this coming the moment I learned Towa was working with you." Even I couldn't help but scold Rustyrose, with the six girls next to me also scoffing at Rustyrose's stupidity.
Rustyrose grits his teeth at the humiliation and turns his sights on me and charges forward.
I roll my eyes and deliver a weak sucker punch at Rusty's face, knocking him down to the floor, very hard.
"Ahhhh!" He screams in pain as he holds his smashed face, teeth falling out of his mouth as he sobs like a child.
[This is just sad. I can't even laugh because he is that pathetic]
"Dumbass, did you already forget that Towa JUST SAID!? You couldn't beat me even WITH your power, what made you think you could now?" I sneered.
"Rustyrose is an even bigger fool than I gave him credit for. I would almost pity him if I didn't hate him for what he did to us and our universes." Emma apathetically states while glaring at him like he was vermin.
Rustyrose starts to get up, droplets of blood fall to the floor.
"How… how can this be…?" He mutters, his voice empty and broken. "Grimoire Heart was supposed to create a perfect world. We were supposed to be the shepherds of a new era." Tears fall, mixing with his blood. "I was so close… I almost had the answer!"
Towa shakes her head in disappointment.
"You still don't get it. There never was such a thing as a perfect world." Kefla and Sephie grab both of his arms, keeping him in place. "In the end, all you've been doing is chasing after a delusion of a bygone era." Towa slowly walks towards a broken Rustyrose.
[What is she doing?]
"But do not fret. Even though your ideals are shattered, you still have a role to play." She grabs his chin and raises his head to meet her gaze. "Afterall, you are the final key to my plan." She says with a devilish smirk.
"NO!" I realize what she's doing and quickly fire a Big Bang Attack at Towa causing an explosion.
However, from the smoke a pillar of bluish light flies up, accompanied by a powerful whirlwind that nearly blows Emma and Yami back but Jean quickly puts up a barrier, shielding them.
When the light fades, Towa is now completely different. She has the same bluish skin as Rusty, and her silver-white hair has grown significantly, now spiky and reaching down her ass. Her breast size increases from an I-cup to a JJ-cup. Her outfit has also changed, now wearing a form fitting black dress with two high-cut leg slits that show off her shapely, child-bearing hips and long legs and black shoes. But what was bizarre is what's around her neck: a large black hexagon ring. She's also holding an [Angel Attendant's Staff] on her right hand, but the gem is gray and has the same black hexagon ring as Towa.

Thoughts about you: Wants you to rule the multiverse by her side as the Supreme Being
Special Perks: Grand Priest, Dark Chaos Force
[Grand Priest]
Named after the Grand Priest himself. This gives the user the same immense power and various abilities as the being himself, meant for the purpose to serve the highest available authority. This also exempts the user from Angel Laws, allowing them to fight.
[Dark Chaos Force]
The opposite of Chaos Force, it draws power from the dark thoughts and emotions of sentient beings. It grants the user total mastery and dominion over the primal cosmic force, however, because it derives its power from intense negativity, it will corrupt the user, turning them into monstrous beings.
"Ah, finally. The power I so rightly deserve. Truly fit for the future Queen of the Multiverse." Towa boasts while examining herself before looking at me lustfully. "But of course, every Queen needs a King."
"Oh get over yourself already. My answer is still no." I spat, but this only makes Towa giggle in amusement.
"Such a stubborn man, but that's okay, I like men who are hard to get." She chuckles. "But don't worry, I'll make sure you see things my way."
A pink aura surrounds Sephie as her eyes begin to shine, her [Eye of Hypnosis] working in conjunction with her [Charmian Goddess Physiology] instantly affecting everyone in her area of vision.
"What's… going on…? Why is my body feeling so…?" Illyana tries to say before falling to her knees as she's overwhelmed with arousal.
Divine falls to the floor with a loud thud, unable to stay about ground due to a lack of focus.
"It's… Queen Sephie… her species can charm anyone…" Yami explains, just barely resisting her effects before succumbing.
"Don't look at her eyes!" Jean yelled but even she and Emma were enthralled.
"Ugh." Natasha tries to fight off the urges but is overwhelmed.
Too bad Towas didn't account for [Gamer's Mind].
"Enough." I clap my hands together and the charm is canceled.
"Sorry, but I don't like people messing around with my women. Especially crazy fools with delusions of grandeur." I glare at her. "You hunted me, destroyed countless universes, kidnapped my family and tried to turn me into a monster. And yet… you still have the audacity to think I'll join you after EVERYTHING YOU DID!?" I yelled. "You are just an insane little woman who likes to play with human lives like a goddamn game. And I refuse to let such a DISGUSTING, WORTHLESS, MANIAC like you be at an arm's distance from me. So do me a favor and disappear."
"Damn." Divine whispers, shocked by the rant.
Towa grits her teeth, her angelic face smeared with ugly rage at the rejection.
"Fine then." She sneered, her hand gripping tightly to her staff. "Then I will simply rule ALONE!"
She slams the staff to the floor and the gem at the top begins to grow brightly.
"LET'S WELCOME CHAOS!" She screams out and the room rumbles violently.
Outside, the Halo Ring powers up as dark blue energy seeps out from the structure and into space.
Jean falls to her knees at the increased generation of [Negative Chaos Energy].
"That does not sound good." Emma says in concern.
"Danger!" Yami said.
"Delta!" I turn to the AI for answers.
"Halo Ring activation commencing!" Delta states.
"How!? We shut it down!" I said.
"It appears Towa has activated a separate system, one that was completely undetectable even to my scanners." Delta explains.
"That's right! This has always been part of the plan. I would never let Rustyrose use this magnificent piece of technology for something as stupid as creating a so-called [Ultimate Magic World] or becoming a god. What a waste of time and resources." Towa scoffed.
Now I was just confused. "Dammit Towa, just what the hell are you after!?"
"Since there is no point in hiding it, I'll just tell you: I intend to use the Genesis Wave to swap the Demon Realm with this universe, freeing the demon race from the Crack of Time." Towa reveals.
"WHAT!?" I yell in clear surprise.
[Huh, was not expecting that]
"At first, I thought to simply break the seal, but seeing as this universe is so far out from the reach of the Time Patrol, switching the two universes seemed like a far better idea. That way, I can continue my plans of destroying time without interruption." Towa said.
Reality unwinds as it begins to switch with the Demon Realm.
Earthland
All across the planet, areas and locations can be seen shifting from one another, the skies turn red, the atmosphere becoming toxic, and the Ethernano becomes darker, corrupted.
People can be seen running away as they're hunted by various demons. The magic guilds across the world try to protect the civilians from the demon onslaught, but are having a hard time due to the increasing number of demons and the Ethernano used to power their magic is poisoning them from the inside out.
Edolas
Demons begin to sprout from every corner, flying in the sky as they destroy anything in sight. Landmasses crash against one another and fall, bringing untold destruction.
The Royal City is being decimated by an army of demons, the soldiers can barely hold the line due to their exhaustion after the last fight, and are being brutally devoured.
Elentear
Yoko wheezes as she grips on the large hole in her stomach. She watches Mimi hold back a large demon while Hakune leads the survivors to safety.
She turns to the now red sky. "Asmodeus-sama… Selene-sama… we need you."
Halo Array – Throne Room
[The Demon Realm is composed of Dark Energy. If they switch, the resulting collision of positive and negative energy will tear reality apart. Not to mention that impossible output of Negative Chaos Energy she's forcing it to pump will destroy the Aincrad and everything within its range]
"It's not going to work Towa, the two universes are too fundamentally different. You'd be creating a catastrophe worse than the Big Bang." I yelled.
"That's what you think, but I have run the simulations my dear, so I know my plan will work." Towa boasted. "It is a shame you refused to join me, Asmodeus, we could have accomplished so much together."
I raise a finger. Ah, but there's one thing you didn't account for in your simulations."
"And what, pray tell, is that?" Towa mockingly asks.
*BOOM!*
The side bursts in a giant explosion, revealing Fairy Tail, the Marvel heroes, the Etherious, the [Isekaijin, and my various other allies.
"My family." I retorted.
"You rang, bitch!?" Church yells as he readies his [Brute Shot]. "Because I'm dying to stick this in you!"
Epsilon-Tucker appears. "Bow chicka bow-bow!"
"Shut it Tucker!" Church snapped before shooting the [Brute Shot] at Towa, which missed.
She then sends an energy saucer that splits Church's body into two and falls on the floor.
"Goddammit!" Church screamed.
"Glad to see some things never change." Epsilon-Simmons drily remarks.
Alert! Quest has been altered!
Quest: Ascending through the Chaos
Towa has become more powerful and plans to switch the Fairy Tail universe with her own, effectively freeing the demons from their prison. Stop the switch by whatever means necessary.
Objective 1: Stop the universal switch
Objective 2: Defeat Towa, Baby Kefla, and Sephie Michaela Deviluke
Rewards: 5,908,234 EXP, 3,877,512 Credits, Titles, Perks, Items, and Gacha Tokens
"Kill them." Towa commands and Baby Kefla and Sephie obey.
"LET'S GO!" Natsu screams and fighting breaks out.
Baby Kefla fights the Saiyans, Etherious and Androids while the fairies and [Isekaijin] fight Sephie.
I turn to the six girls with me. "Help them."
They all nod and they run to help.
"Amodeus-kun!" I look and catch Mirajane who gives me a passionate kiss before separating. "I missed you!"
"I missed you, too." I muttered.
Mira scans my new form and looks at me. "What happened?"
"Towa happened. It turns out she was the true mastermind all along, egging Rusty on into becoming what he is until he was no longer useful. As for what happened to him, Towa ate him to get stronger." I explained.
Mira blinks at the explanation, clearly confused. "... what?"
"Yeah. Don't worry, you'll get used to this sort of thing the longer you stick around." I said.
Meanwhile, Towa glares at the slut getting physical with Asmodeus before a distinct power grabs her attention.
"Hey Towa, I've been wanting to settle the score for a while." Carol Danvers says darkly, wearing her Ms. Marvel attire much to my surprise.
"Is that Captain Marvel?" I asked, surprised by her appearance.
[I think she goes by Ms. Marvel, given her current outfit]
Laura pops her claws as she gives the woman a vicious grin. "I'm gonna enjoy tearing her apart for what you did to us!"
"Towa, you bitch! She-Hulk and the X-Men told me what you and Rusty did! Because of you, my universe and so many others are gone!" Chun-Li says with tears streaming down her face, to my shock.
'She knows She-Hulk and the X-Men? But how?' I thought before my eyes widened. 'Unless my Chun-Li is from the Marvel vs CAPCOM universe!'
Towa was unamused by their threats.
"I made you bitches far superior than you ever were before, but none of you are nowhere near the level of power I now possess!" Towa boasted. "If you bow and beg for mercy, I may spare your lives to serve your queen."
"You are not our queen! You do not deserve to be a queen!" Storm states in disgust.
"And if you think your power boost will keep us from defeating you, you are sorely mistaken." Psylocke, or Betsy Braddock, adds in her sexy British accent that stood in contrast to her super-sexy Japanese appearance, wielding a katana in one hand and conjuring a blade of energy in the other.
"And I'm more than happy to show you what happens when you mess with a Hulk!" She-Hulk says while pounding her fist in her palm.
Towa chuckles as her staff disappears from her hand. "I'm going to enjoy this." She takes a fighting stance.
Laura goes first, charging forward ready to rip Towa to tiny pieces.
*CLANG!*
Only to be shocked as Towa blocks her adamantium claws easily with her staff.
"Worthless mortal." Towa raises her hand and fires a blast at the stupefied Mutant, blinding everything with its light.
When it subsides, all the is a black scorch mark where Laura was standing.
"LAURA!" Carol cries in horror before gritting her teeth in rage as her body glows red. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
She explodes with cosmic and chaos power, changing her appearance completely. Her eyes became glowing white and her hair seemed to be on fire, with her outfit transitioning to a red and white bodysuit hugging her figure and showing off her abs, with two star-like symbols on her chest.
"Ah yes, your [Binary Form]. I remember Rustyrose had added Saiyan and other Mutant traits to see how much your DNA could handle. The result was an augmentation to your physical and energy capabilities, strengthening your already impressive healing factor to even higher levels to the point that you are essentially immortal and gained Zenkai-like capabilities. He then thought of showering you with [Chaos Energy] in order to make that form stronger and more self-sustainable." Towa reminisces before sighing, not acknowledging the killer intent aimed at her. "In the end, his ambition proved to be his undoing and you nearly escaped. If I hadn't placed the countermeasures you would have destroyed this entire facility in a drunk-infused rage."
"And you wonder why?! We are NOT your toys for you to use and dispose of as you both saw fit! And now you're gonna regret using me as a guinea pig for your wretched experiments!" Carol roars and fires a literal SUPERNOVA at Towa.
Storm raises her arms up and summons a cosmic storm and hurls it at Towa.
However, the ascended demon simply stares and both attacks are eradicated instantly!
"What!?" Ms. Marvel yelled before she was run through the heart by Towa's staff. "Damn… you…"
"Carol!" Storm yells before an opened palm obscures her vision.
Towas grabs her head and rips it right out her body and tosses it to the side to be crushed on the ground.
Towa watches the Mutant's body fall as a green fist rockets towards the back of her head only for her to catch it with her staff.
"!?" She-Hulk blinks in shock and horror.
"You Hulks are undeniably impressive," Towa glances at the Gamma-Mutate. "If Rustyrose wasn't such a idiotic pervert, he might have picked Hulkverine for his clear versatility rather than the only female Hulk."
Towa atomizes She-Hulk, leaving nothing behind.
Illyana charges at Towa, but the newly christened Grand Priestess grabs her [Soul Sword] before beheading her then throws said sword to the side where it runs through an invisible Natasha, killing her and destroying her soul.
Mira and I watch as Towa single-handedly kills the heroes without much effort.
"She… she's a monster." Mira whispers with clear fear.
"Yeah. I may not even survive when I fight her." I admit making Mira gasp in shock.
"Asmo-" I put a finger between her lips and leaned closer to her.
"Listen to me because we may only have one shot at this." I whisper to her my plan.
Towa lifts Psylocke by her neck as she claws her arm for air as she steps on the head of a dead Rogue.
"You were an Omega-level mutant whose psychic abilities easily rivaled Jean's normal levels and a highly trained ninja, Betsy Braddock, yet you were the easiest to brainwash." She mocks as she crushes Rogue's skull with her foot. "You should have stayed brainwashed so as to serve a purpose for a higher being like myself."
"S-S-Screw…y-you…" Psylocke manages to say before she is eviscerated.
Towa chuckles before turning her attention to the fairies fighting Sephie. "Now, who should be my next victim?"
*BANG!*
Something hits Towa's head and turns to see Asmodeus holding up [Ace of Spades] with a smoking barrel.
"A gun? Really?" Towa chuckles darkly. "Of all the attacks you could have used, you thought a GUN would be enough to defeat ME!?" The laugh soon dies down. "I give you props for originality, but it'll take more than mortal weapons to stop a goddess."
"I know." I smirked. "But it did make for a good distraction."
"Huh!?" Towa whips her head and sees Mira holding a familiar gem. "NO!"
"Chaos Control!" Mira chants and vanishes on the spot with the [Master Emerald].
"You will not escape!" Towa begins to teleport.
"[Payback Over Requiem]!" The ascended Stand rises from my being and punches the floor.
Towa feels a change in the world as she tries to follow the She-Demon but finds that she can't.
"Why can't I teleport!?" She screams before turning her attention to Asmodeus and his familiar.
"You've noticed it, haven't you?" I said. "Spatial Severance. This entire room is now cut off from the main universe, we effectively don't exist." I can't help but chuckle a bit. "Brilliant, isn't it. I can't believe I never thought of doing it before."
"But that's… that's impossible!" Towa yells.
"Not really." I tap the side of my head in a Cell-like manner. "You're just too slow."
Towa grits her teeth and roars in rage and punches me right through the chest.
But rather than grimacing in pain, I laugh.
"Good! I can see that you're still the same Towa even in your ascended state." I laughed.
"And how are you going to defeat me? I killed most of your posse and my puppets will finish off your fairies. And your [Dark King] form is no match for me now." Towa mockingly smiles. "So tell me, darling, what are you going to do?"
"Easy, I'm calling reinforcements." I said.
Towa was confused, what reinforcements? All of his allies are fighting her dolls, but that's when she realizes who he meant.
The Moon Dragon God!
I quickly use [Instant Transmission] and appear next to one of the branches and grab a random fruit just as Towa appears.
"I won't let you!" Towa goes to take the fruit but is suddenly punched away by my [Susanoo].
"Time to test the fruits of your labor, Rusty." I eat the fruit whole and swallow it. "Guah! This shit's disgusting!" But suddenly a sensation rises within me and my body explodes with unrestrained power.
Everyone stops as they sense the near limitless power coming from the center of the room, even the brainwashed women were frozen by the unrestricted power.
Towa shields herself from being blown away but the shockwaves still drive her back. When it stops, she sees what happens and couldn't help but be awestruck by what she sees.
His white hair was still long and in a messy state, but now reaches all the way to his feet. He's no longer muscular and instead has a leaner build like an athlete. His arms and legs are replaced with claws covered in obsidian scales with blades protruding from his elbows. He has four black wings on his back and red tribal marks on his face with a white haze coming out of his eyes.
[Dark King] has Evolved!
[Void God]
You ate the fruit of Dark Chaos and because of that, have unlocked the power of the primordial origin: the Void. The God of the Void who rules all who originate from it and is beyond the realm of demons and other dark beings.
Raises all stats by 40,000,000.
New Title acquired!
[Chaos Bringer]
He who brings chaos on those who oppose him. Heightened success against opponents and increases likelihood of beneficial opportunities.
"Wow." I notice the change in my voice, becoming much deeper and gravely. "This power is incredible!"
[It seems you grabbed one of the matured fruits without noticing. If you had eaten an unripe fruit, the effects wouldn't have been this significant]
Towa looks at the god, no, the SUPREME BEING as his limitless power washes over her, making her hot with arousal and feeling moist between her dress.
'I was right! He is the one who will reign supreme over the multiverse, with me as his attendant and lover! I must make him see the truth!' Towa thought in joy.
"Darling, you have truly exceeded my expectations~" Towa says, drawing my attention to her. "Your potential is without limits and unlike any other! Please, embrace your destiny and join me, and we will take our rightful place in the reshaped multiverse as its supreme rulers!"
[Good lord, now she's trying to butter you up. Can't she take a hint!?]
"How many times must I tell you until it gets beaten into your brain!? I don't want to rule the multiverse, I just wanna go on adventures with my friends!" I argued.
Towa shakes her head. "You are still being naive. It is the destiny of those who have power to control those who do not. That is an inescapable rule."
"Destiny…?" After hearing that word, a sharp headache overtakes my senses.
Flashback
"Ah!" A familiar voice screams out as he crashes into a large tree. He looks exactly like Asmodeus except for his black hair and wearing a different but ruined outfit with multiple tears and large stains of blood.
He tries to get up but he is overwhelmed by intense pain as his legs are now broken.
"It's no use. Your [Aura] has long since crumbled away and I have broken your legs." A low, grumbly voice speaks as footsteps can be heard. "Your teammates fought valiantly and your drive to protect them is equally admirable. You are worthy of your title as Huntsman, Azule Rose, it is a shame you fight for the wrong side."
Azule moves his head up to meet his killer's gaze. He is a tall and broad muscular middle-aged man with short brown hair, a beard and hazel eyes. He wears a two-tone olive green coat over a black 3/4 sleeve shirt, and a large belt. His pants were black, with a pouch strapped to each pants leg, and his boots were brown with white fronts. Scars near the edges of his sleeves are visible.
"Ha… the wrong side…? Do you even know what Salem wants? Why is she after the Relics in the first place?" Azule asks.
His killer's eyes widened slightly before returning to normal. "So the headmaster was right. You know too much. It makes sense why he requested you and your team to be eliminated."
"Uncle Leo…" Azule looks down at his mentor's betrayal.
"I will not ask how you came upon this information, but now you understand why you must be silenced." The green giant sighs. "In the end, it is the destiny of all you [Silver-Eyed Warriors] to be removed before Ozpin finds you." He stares at me. "Lionhart was kind enough to hide you from his gaze for this long, but his cowardice got the best of him in the end.
Azule coughs up blood. "I confronted him about the disappearances of Hunters in the kingdom… he was so anxious when I demanded answers. Now I know why." He reveals. "As for Salem… she and I have a history, one that she likely doesn't remember, not that it makes any difference to me."
Azule then grabs a tree branch and pushes himself up, hissing in pain as he forces his legs to stand despite the broken bones.
The giant is surprised by the Hunter's determination, but is even more surprised when he walks towards him until he is a few inches from him, his total height just barely reaching his forearms.
"I will kill the Scorpion man for poisoning her. I will kill Salem for taking my mother from me. I will kill Leonardo Lionheart for betraying me." Azule then looks up and the giant sees, for a brief moment his eyes glow a menacing silver.
"And I will KILL YOU for destroying my second family!" Azule declares, rage and sadness can be seen in his eyes.
The giant was unaffected by the rageful rant of the Hunter. He didn't say anything for a while but he finally spoke.
"Then you have chosen death." He grabs Azule by his throat and lifts him up, watching blankly as the boy tries in vain to fight his grip.
*CRACK!*
Azule's arms go limp and the giant gently puts the now fresh corpse on the ground.
"How many Ozpin. How many children must you make me kill before you give up?" The man sneers before walking away.
As the last bit of consciousness regresses to the dark crevices of his mind, he says some familiar words.
'I won't die.
I can't die here!
I need power… MORE POWER!'
Flashback ends
The memory ends as I open my eyes to see myself back in the battle.
I raise my hand to my face and notice that it's damp before lowering to see my fingers are wet.
"I see… it still hurts, doesn't it?" I murmur out loud.
[It seems the memory triggered some remnants of emotion. Even now, despite being long gone, Azule still manages to influence you in some shape or form. Truly, he is one stubborn bastard]
"Well, he is a part of me so of course he's stubborn." I murmured.
Towa sees the Supreme Being crying and is surprised. "Why are you crying? Demons do not cry. Such emotion is a weakness."
I wipe away the tears before looking back at Towa, who is still expecting an answer.
"I don't believe in destiny. And if such a thing as destiny does exist, then I will grab it and burn it to cinders." I said. "Besides, even demons may cry when they lose their precious people."
"That is nonsense!" Towa argued.
"Eh. To each their own." I send a telekinetic blast with [Psionic Manipulation] towards the [Svartalfheim Tree, shattering it and using Forced Spirit Fission, freeing Selene in the process. I then telekinetically pull her and a surviving fruit to me and use [Salvation] to restore her, causing her to slowly wake up and look at me.
"Asmodeus-kun? Is… that you, my little devil?" Selene whispers, tired but starting to regain her energy.
"It's me, teacher. Sorry I took so long." I then use [Nemesis] to recreate her clothing around her naked body, before helping her get on her feet.
I hand her the fruit. "Eat this. It will give you lots of power."
Selene eats the fruit and her body quickly bursts with power.
When the light show ends, we see that her appearance has changed. Her hair has grown longer and it is a shade of platinum white instead of blonde and her eyes are now silver instead of pink. She is taller now, at least six feet, with a slender toned frame and a voluptuous figure consisting of JJ-cup breasts, slim waist, toned stomach, supple curvy hips connected to long luscious legs and a perky bubbly rear. Her outfit remains the same, except it's black now instead of white and the hood's replaced with a crescent moon-shaped halo levitating above her.

Due to her previous state as part of the Svartalfheim Tree, she has a higher compatibility with its fruits than others. Allowing her to draw energy from the Chaos Force without suffering the side effects.
53 Affection from Selene (100/100)
"Wow." Even I was taken back by her beauty and sexiness, which exceeds Towa's by a long mile.
[You got that right. She may even give the other girls a run for their money]
Selene looks at her hands, she can see the POWER flowing out of them like vapor.
"This is…" Selene whispers to herself.
"It's a lot to take in, I know, but I know you'll master it in no time." I said with a smile.
Before I can press further, Selene suddenly pulls me into a passionate kiss..
"I am so happy to see you once more, my little devil. I promise we will always be together." Selene said in a loving tone, before looking at Towa with a murderous expression. "But before that, I have a score to settle with my wretched captors, who clearly need to learn the consequences of crossing a God."
[Oooooooh, even her angry voice is so hot!]
Towa vanishes and reappears in front of Selene ready to obliterate her head with her staff.
… only to be shocked and horrified that Selene CAUGHT it mid swing.
"Impos-" Towa's cut off when Selene suddenly sucker-punches her and sends her flying away.
"Impossible, you say? We'll see about that." Selene swipes her arm sideways and launches numerous large crescent blades made of augmented [Chaos Energy] at Towa, but her [Perfected Ultra Instinct] allows her to dodge them all.
"Tch. Annoying sow." Selene spat, frustrated that the attack didn't finish her off.
"You're not the only one who has a score to settle with that blue bitch." Selene turns to see Jean leading all of the kidnapped women, including the ones Towa just killed.
Towa stands up and is shocked at seeing all of the dead women back to life.
"How…? I killed you all!" She screamed and noticed Asmodeus' Stand glowing with power.
"This is the ultimate power of my Stand. I will reduce all of your actions back to zero." I told Towa.
"That's… not possible!" Towa denied.
"No." I glare at her. "This is Requiem."
Veins throb all around Towa's head as her anger reaches a boiling point. "Damn you-" But she is then blasted away by a beam of Chaos-infused moonlight.
"Normally, I would prefer not to fight alongside those I am unfamiliar with, but given the circumstances, I can make an exception." Selene remarks.
"Go crazy, girls. In the meantime, I'll take care of other business." I informed them before activating [Duplicate] to quickly create a clone. "You know the plan. Now go."
The clone nods and the two fly in opposite directions
Towa sees the real Asmodues running off and chases after him. "Come ba-" But gets punched by both an angry Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk.
""Don't take your eyes off of us, you pompous bitch!"" The two superheroes yell at once.
Towa growls as she regains her bearings.
"Get out of my way, you miserable sluts! Unlike Rustyrose, I have no interest in keeping you all as sex slaves, and your insolence is erasing any value you may have as servants! This is a matter beyond you miserable mortals!" Towa roared in anger.
"Then it is fortunate that they have support from those who aren't mortal, Towa." A familiar voice drew Towa's attention, and her eyes widened at the three newcomers.
The first is a tall and voluptuous woman of fair complexion with long purple hair that reaches mid-back that curls at the ends and purple eyes with red swirl-shaped markings right below them. Her attire consists of a black Shihakushō and white boi which does nothing to hide her hourglass curves and K-cup breasts, along with a white haori with a diamond symbol that contains four lotus flowers on the back.
The other two women were clearly related based on their resemblance, with both of them having blue skin, silver hair, silver eyes, and a blue ring around their necks, with one having a ponytail and the other twintails. Their attire is near-identical, comprised of robes with puffy shoulders, a black cuirass with white and orange circle decorations, a red sash, and white high-heeled shoes, with the only difference being that one's robes being green and the other purple that failed to hide their curvaceous hourglass figures and strained against their K-cup breasts.
"Vados, Marcarita, and even Kirio Hikifune." Towa snarls. "You three may have served other gods, but my darling is leagues beyond them, and you do not deserve to serve him!"
"You keep saying that, but he has already rejected you. I think it's finally time you see the futility of your situation, wouldn't you agree?" Vados said with Marcarita and Kirio nodding in agreement, as the three of them joined the other ladies. "Mind if we join you all, Jean-san?"
"By all means." Jean says as the cosmic flames of the [Phoenix Force] and [Chaos Energy] coat her body, with the other girls releasing similar aura's.
Towa unleashes a massive dark aura of power that grows exponentially by the second, "I'm going to enjoy this!"
Meanwhile
Cell charges at Baby Kefla and they exchange fast and powerful blows that break the sonic barrier, their combined auras destroying the area around them.
Cell manages to get the upper hand and elbows the fused Tuffle/Saiyan hybrid in the stomach, breaking her chest plate before using a Double Axe Handle to held crashing to the ground.
"Die!" Cell fires an onslaught of ki blasts at the ground, showering Kefla in massive destruction.
"There! It's dead!" Cell screams triumphant.
"Don't get ahead of yourself! If we learned anything about Machine Mutants, it's that they're too stubborn to die!" Xeno Goku yells.
Sure enough, silver-like liquid slowly slides out of the cracks of rock before reforming into Baby Kefla.
She creates a cluster of dark blue Ki blasts in both hands and fires them at the two, but they are intercepted by a large energy beam destroying them.
"Don't even think about it!" Lamy yells while 18 rockets towards her.
However, before either of them can duke it out, a Super-powered Masenko swallows the fused Tuffle/Saiyan hybrid and the two female Android see Asmodeus flying in with his new form.
"Hey girls. Need a hand?" The clone asks.
"So this is the cause of the immense pressure we felt?" 18 eyes his new form with the thin line on her face slowly moving upwards. "I approve. Though the hair is a little too much."
"Well I like it. Especially his wings, they're so beautiful!" Lamy adds.
"About time you showed up brat. Though quite frankly, your assistance is not necessary." Xeno Vegeta descends down in his iconic pose.
Xeno Vegeta was cut off when he felt a massive surge of power from Baby Kefla.
He quickly turns to see the monstrous fusion barreling towards them but is suddenly pinned down by multiple long and slender rapier-like swords with extremely short hilts stabbing her across her body and shadow, preventing her from moving.
[Black Key] - Rank: C
A Sacrament of the Church, created with the lament for the dead; litanies, as their base. The part that looks like a handle is actually the cut-out page of a manuscript, using magical energy to harden it into the shape of a handle so you can carry it around without problems. While not a powerful weapon for combat and more seen as a symbol for Executors, its main ability lies in the prayers inscribed in the manuscript, attacking polluted souls that have succumbed to evil and make them regress or "remember" their humanity, weakening them enough for termination. It can also immobilize the target upon the blade piercing their shadow and can only be undone by the removal of the key.
Deals 2,901 MAG Damage
"Those [Black Keys] won't hold her for long. Even now, I can feel the [Negative Chaos Energy] already eating away at its charms." He explains. "That girl is a fusion of a [Legendary Super Saiyan] and a Tuffle, Vegeta. The former guarantees a near-endless reserve of [Ki] and adaptive capabilities well above normal Saiyans, and the latter guarantees potent healing capabilities. Mix that with a shower of [Dark Chaos Energy] and Towa's modifications, and you get a force of nature on your hands."
Baby Kefla's ki begins to burn each of the keys away.
Xeno Vegeta smirks. "Sounds like my kind of challenge."
"I understand your love for fighting strong opponents, Vegeta, but we're being pressed for time with the fate of the multiverse at stake." I remind him.
Xeno Vegeta clicks his tongue in annoyance at the reminder.
[He can be so immature at times]
"Wow Asmodeus, you look so cool." Xeno Goku comments as he and Cell land next to Vegeta.
The clone blink at Cell's new form and the Bio-Android smirks.
"This is [Black Cell]. I gained this form after absorbing Super 17." Cell boasts.
[Bet 18 didn't like that]
'No bet.' He glanced at said Android who looks like she's about to murder someone.
"Don't think you're gonna get away with this, Cell!" 18 growled before looking at me with a pleading expression. "Regardless of whether he was brainwashed or not, 17 was still my brother, and he didn't deserve to be absorbed again by Cell!"
The clone sighs before looking at the Bio-Android. "Cell, if you absorbed anyone who wasn't connected to our allies, I could overlook this and even commend your impressive new form, but out of respect for 18, you and I will have a talk about this later. For now, however, best to put that new form of yours to good use and help beat this girl."
"Tch." Cell clicks his tongue and 18 gives him a smug look, however, the Bio-Android is startled as a familiar voice enters his mind.
"Nice work, man! Don't let 18's nagging bother you. Also, digging the new look." The clone said.
The Perfect Being glances back at the Asmodeus clone who has a small and very subtle smile on his face which causes Cell to produce his own smile.
18's brow twitched at seeing Cell's smile. 'That cocky smile of his is getting on my nerves.'
+12 Affection with Super 18 (95/100)
+20 Reputation with Perfect Cell (53/100)
[Wow, only you could find a way to turn a tense situation like this to get increased rep from both of them, even if unintentionally]
"I think I got a way to stop this girl that doesn't involve killing her, but I need you guys to keep her occupied." He says, surprising the others.
"You do?" Lamy looks intrigued.
The clone nodded. "With Forced Spirit Fission, I can separate the hybrid back into a Saiyan and a Machine Mutant. Though I'm not sure what kind of effect it'll have on Kefla since she's a fusion, too."
"That won't work." Xeno Goku speaks up. "In order to use that technique effectively, you need to beat her down first but that is going to be hard since she heals too quickly to do any lasting damage."
"Then we'll just have to hit her harder until she can't heal anymore." Xeno Vegeta said.
"And there's only one way." Xeno Goku states and Vegeta picks up what he means.
"NO! Absolutely not, Kakarot!" Vegeta yells.
"But Vegeta-" Xeno Goku tries to reason but the prince cuts him off.
"No! I can tolerate fusing with a moron like you, but I REFUSE to do that abhorrent little dance!" Vegeta spat out.
Most of the groups just look at the two arguing Saiyans confused. 'Dance?'
Cell, meanwhile, laughed.
"Thankfully, I got just the thing." The clone said.
"?" The two look and see Asmodeus' left hand lighting up with awesome power.
When it dies down, they see that in his palm are now a pair of earrings with golden gems attached to the bottom.
[Potara Earrings] - Rank: EX
The earrings worn by the Kais. If two people wear the same set on opposite ears, they will be automatically drawn to each other until they connect, then fuse into a powerful warrior. If used with a Supreme Kai then it is permanent, but if not then the fusion only lasts an hour; this is further reduced if the fused being is so powerful that the power sustaining the fusion gets used up.
Increases all stats x20
The Saiyans eyes in recognition of the item. "How did you know about the Potara!?"
"That doesn't matter right now. You both need to fuse and fight Baby Kefla. Once she's weakened enough, I'll step in and separate them." He throws the earrings at the two Saiyans and they catch them.
"Fine. But only because the situation demands it." Xeno Vegeta grunts as he begrudgingly puts the earring on his right ear while Goku puts it on his left causing the two to be pulled in like magnets and collide, resulting in a brief flash of light before it disappears.
Standing in their place is a man with a mixture of both Xeno Goku and Xeno Vegeta's characteristics, but with a few deviations such as Goku's softer jawline and Vegeta's sharper eyes. His light-brown hair stands firmly upright like Vegeta's but Goku's hairline and has two bangs sticking out like a downward "V" shape and has the Potara Earrings on both ears. His outfit is a fusion as well, with a red undershirt and pants underneath a flowing black vest and blue sash, as well as Xeno Vegeta's gloves and boots from his armor.
"Haha, alright! Vegito is back!" The fusion, Xeno Vegito screams with excitement, his voice being overlays of both Goku and Vegeta.
"So cool!" The clone gushes at the sight with stars in his eyes. Meeting Goku and Vegeta is one thing but meeting Vegito is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"T-They fused!? Like actually fused!" 18 yelled, dumbstruck by the sight.
Lamy's jaw is hanging open by the impossible thing she just witnessed.
Cell sees their reactions and just rolls his eyes. "He's not that great."
Just then, the last of the [Black Keys] that kept Baby Kefla are burned away as she slowly rises up and lets out a primal roar.
"Alright, here's what we're gonna do: while I prepare the Forced Spirit Fission technique, you guys focus on incapacitating her. Vegito and Cell, you two unleash the strongest beatdown you can on her until she is near-pulverized. Once she's weakened and injured enough, 18 and Lamy will each grab one of her arms and channel [Chaos Energy] into her to not only counteract her [Negative Chaos Energy] but also suppress her healing capabilities long enough for me to separate her." He told them, getting nods of understanding from the others.
"Sounds easy enough." Xeno Vegito smirks before powering up to [Super Saiyan 4 Full Power Limit Breaker] and flies towards the fight.
"Hey!" Cell yells as he powers up and follows the fused Time Patroller.
"Be ready, you two. With how strong Baby Kefla is, you only got one shot. When you girls forcibly channel [Chaos Energy] into her, make sure you focus your thoughts on both countering the [Negative Chaos Energy] AND suppressing her regeneration." The clone tells the two girls, who nodded in understanding.
Before Baby Kefla could get very far, Cell had teleported behind her upon seeing an opening via [Chaos Control] and launched a flurry of punches against her back before kicking her back at Xeno Vegito.
"Looks like we got a new toy to play around with!" Xeno Vegito mockingly states upon getting an idea of how to handle her before repeatedly punching her face, chest, and abdomen, before once again sending her flying towards Cell, who immediately caught on to what Xeno Vegito was referring to and only responded with a smirk.
It essentially turned into a game between the two of them, each of them launching a flurry of attacks to her chest or back before sending her flying back to the other with an extra-powerful strike to the head that also had the extra benefit of keeping Baby Kefla too disoriented to counter, block, or evade their attacks.
"Man, this is just too easy! We should have done this a long time ago!" Xeno Vegito said.
"Don't kid yourself! It's only because I fought her earlier that she's in this state. My power has long surpassed you Saiyans!" Cell retorts.
"Is that a dare?" The fused Time Patroller taunts the Android.
However, the two are caught off guard by Baby Kefla catching their attacks before blasting them back with a Kiai.
"Oh, she's finally getting serious now. This will be fun." Xeno Vegito says.
The Tuffle hybrid fires ki blasts at rapid succession before flaring her aura charges at Xeno Vegito.
He sees the incoming attack but doesn't bother to move as the energy blasts simply phase through a series of afterimages before the real Vegito sucker punches Baby Kefla, the sudden of her stop causing her to be sent away.
But the fusion hybrid isn't impaired, she fires another barrage of ki at Xeno Vegito while seemingly spiraling out of control.
Xeno Vegito sees this coming and holds both of his hands out, and the energy attack starts to converge around his hands and form an energy ball.
"Here. You can have this back." Xeno Vegito fires an energy wave with Baby Kefla's energy as its base before using Instant Transmission.
Baby Kefla blocks the blast but is too distracted to sense Xeno Vegito right behind her about to fire his own attack.
"Final Kamehameha!" Xeno Vegito fires his trademark attack on Baby Kefla, rocketing her towards Cell.
"Show off." He holds one of his hands out and fires a Death Cannon, thought much bigger and brighter than any Frieza has used.
Once the attack hits Baby Kefla, the combination of the two attacks triggers a massive explosion of power. When the smoke clears, a heavily injured Baby Kefla falls to the ground, her regeneration quickly kicking in as she struggles to get up.
"Now you two!" 18 and Lamy immediately fly towards the healing Tuffle/Saiyan hybrid and each manages to grab one of her arms before immediately pouring [Chaos Energy] into her while extending her arms outward, leaving her exposed.
"Time to finish this!" He grabs Baby Kefla by her shoulders and uses Forced Spirit Fission and starts to pull.
The fusion screams before the Machine Mutant is completely removed from Kefla and is subsequently permanently erased with a [Hakai].
Afterwards, he quickly use [Salvation] to restore Kefla's health as well as purge any Tuffle eggs Baby may have left behind while also using [Psionic Manipulation] to remove any remaining traces of the brainwashing from her mind, causing Kefla's eye to shoot wide open and jumps on her feet.
"Where is she!? Where's that blue whore who put that piece of shit in me!? I'll make her pay for what she made me do!" Kefla roars in unbridled rage as she turns [Legendary Super Saiyan 2]. She then stumbles forward from the new weight as she looks down and sees that her body's changed, now with a slender muscular build with a curvaceous hourglass figure consisting of HH-cup breasts, toned waist and abs, wide curvy hips connected to a pair of tone legs and a firm apple-bottom.
"Wow! What did she do to me!?" She turns off her transformation and proceeds to check her body before the thin line on her face curves upwards. "Damn… I am hot!" She then massages her new breasts causing a moan to escape her lips before claiming her mouth shut. "Damn, that was too close!" She then glances at the group and sends them a fierce glare. "You heard nothing!"
The trio sweatdrop at the fusion's antics as she continues to touch herself.
The clone didn't understand why Towa went through the trouble of modifying her appearance compared to Rustyrose. Force of habit? Or maybe she meant for Kefla to be Asmodeus' concubine much like with Sephie.
"Dammit, I'm still short! That bitch gave me a sexy body but she was too lazy to give me another foot!? How is that fair!?" Kefla screams out, stomping her feet as she realizes that her height hasn't changed at all.
It was pretty cute to watch.
"Oh, is she throwing a temper tantrum?" The clone sees Cell and Xeno Vegito back in their base forms and heading towards them.
"She could at least thank us for not killing her." Cell says watching the Saiyan rant like no tomorrow.
"I'm more surprised she's still fused. She should have reached her Potara's time limit by now." Xeno Vegito remarks. "Maybe Towa altered them to make the fusion permanent?"
"That seems to be the case, as part of Towa's experiments to ensure Kefla would be as powerful as possible. Wanda Zatara is also the fusion of two individuals due to Towa's experiments, and her fusion is irreversible even with the Chaos Emeralds or Dragon Balls." The clone noted. "Hey, chatterbox!"
"Huh!?" Kefla turns to the clone, she blushes at the sight of his inhuman beauty but quickly beats it down.
"Who are you callin' chatterbox, weirdo!? My name's Kefla and I'm the strongest warrior in Universe 6!" Kefla declares.
"What an arrogant brat. If I didn't know any better, I'd say she's your daughter." Cell huffs.
"Sorry Cell, but there's only room for one awesome me." Xeno Vegito said.
"Anyways, wanna help kick Towa's ass with us? It's going to be great." The clone says to her.
"Gee, you could have started the conversation with that instead of calling me a chatterbox." Then a smile appears on her face. "But I'm down for the smackdown. I can't wait to beat down that witch until she's nothing but a bloody stain on the floor."
The clone smiles. Now he hopes that his boss is already done dealing with his own troubles.
At the same time
A large panda with piercings large piercings all over its body and Rinnegan eyes body slams its opponent with its hardened body, the shockwaves causing large cracks to appear everywhere.
However, it doesn't last long as Sephie kicks the summon off her and ships it back to its sender, barely missing my head by an inch.
[What was the point of even summoning the panda?]
A loud thud is heard in the background as the panda crashes before puffing in smoke.
"I just wanted to see if it could stop her, but I guess not." I admit.
Sephie then suddenly appears mere meters from my face, ready to rip my head off with her two hands, but they simply phase through thanks to my Stand's [Time Skip] ability.
"It's a good thing Towa didn't make her immune to time manipulation." I comment as time returns to normal and Sephie lands on the other side.
"[Maximize Magic: Crystal Lance]." A magic circle appears and a large crystal lance shoots out at near light speeds, but Sephie still manages to dodge although it takes her right arm in the end.
"Strong and fast. But it seems [Chaotic End] doesn't give her any magical abilities and only allows her to copy physical attacks." I comment with interest.
[Or it's likely she can't fully utilize magical or spiritual abilities or anything beyond physical due to being brainwashed]
"For a genius of Towa's caliber, she can't help but make such glaring mistakes, but it's not like I'm any better."
"Are you insinuating that our dire circumstances are the result of your error of judgment?" Delta asks.
"Yeah. I suppose that's one way to see it." I said as Sephie finishes regenerating and goes on the offensive.
However, Laxus appears and delivers a powerful punch coated with red lightning sending her back before taking a knee, his face blushing red from an influx of arousal.
Natsu and Gajeel were no better, prominent blushes on their faces and their eyes dazed. Makarov was unconscious, but judging from the steady stream of blood coming out of his nose, it wasn't from actual combat.
"I can't believe it takes one of these brainwashed dolls for you to be this flustered, Natsu!" Lucy exclaims in jealousy, although even she and the other girls were in no real position to judge given their own prominent blushes, with not even Diana being an exception.
"Don't take it personally, Lucy." I said, catching all their attention. "This woman belongs to the near-extinct Charmian race, who are said to be the most beautiful beings of all time whose beauty and allure affects anyone who meets them. And that's just with a normal Charmian, as this one was enhanced to not only be Towa's most powerful doll, but is now also the literal personification of beauty and sexuality."
"But you seem fine, Asmodeus-sama." Seilah notes.
"It takes more than this to bring me down." I said. 'Thank god [Gamer's Mind] exists, otherwise I'd likely be like old Maki over there.'
[You're welcome, best buddy]
"Well, her looks and allure aside, how will we beat her, Asmodeus-sama?" Brandish asks in concern.
"I have an idea, Asmodeus." Diana says, catching our attention. "If you and the others can keep her occupied, I can restrain her with my [Lasso of Truth] and use it to help free her from Towa's control, as I did with She-Hulk."
"Sounds like a plan." I said while extending my arms out. "[Widen Magic: Haste]." Everyone's body glows white as they feel the enchantment increase their agility and speed.
With their enhanced speeds, the women have no trouble keeping up with Sephie's own inhuman speed, as they deliver blow after blow and the brainwashed doll is having trouble keeping up since their speed isn't a physical ability or "abnormal", and so can't be replicated.
Lamy unleashed a flurry of shots from her guns, with Lucy following up with a barrage of Ki blasts augmented with her [Star Dress: Leo Form] and Pantherlily following suit.
"[Unison Raid: Dragon God's Domain]!" Ur and Wendy say simultaneously before unleashing a combination magic attack of [Fire God Slayer Magic] and [Sky Dragon Slayer Magic] that rapidly engulfed the distracted Sephie.
When the flames dissipated, Sephie was covered in burns but was rapidly healing, but was left unprepared when Erza, Chun-Li, and Diana managed to get in close and unleash a triple barrage attack of punches and kicks, all of them flowing seamlessly together thanks to their two years of training together.
Sephie is blown back but is caught by a giant wooden log that bursts from the ground, snaring and binding her in place.
The logs start absorbing the [Negative Chaos Energy] within Sephie, causing the wood's healthy brown color to turn into a rotting black.
"Warning: the wood integrity has reached its limit. The enemy will escape in 0.8 seconds." Delta states.
Sure enough, Sephie breaks out of the wood's grip with ease but her body suddenly ceases to move as Ultear rewinds time restoring the wood, restraining her once again.
"She's restrained, but I'm not sure how long we can keep this up." Seilah states, feeling the grip of her [Curse] becoming unstable.
Even Ultear was having a hard time as the wood decays faster than she can rewind it.
"Just keep it up for a little bit longer." I summon two clones and the three of us grab onto Sephie and begin siphoning her excess energy.
"C'mon, just how much [Chaos Energy] did Towa pump into you? You should have died a thousand times over, but I guess that's why Towa chose you for her side project." I remarked.
[There were already signs of Sephie becoming something special from Towa's experiments, given that she became a Transcendent and the Avatar of Beauty & Sexuality and the Charmian Goddess, but this might be just the tip of the iceberg given that it took the combined power of all seven Chaos Emeralds for Towa to deem her and Kefla ready]
"Don't worry, I'll be quick then." Diana says while preparing her lasso. "Asmodeus, don't hesitate to assist in freeing her. The sooner we free this poor woman from Towa's control, the better it is for everyone."
"Don't worry about it. With your Lasso helping, freeing her should be a cakewalk." I reassure her as she wraps her lasso around the restrained Sephie, causing a latent golden glow to cover her body as her eyes glow gold.
"W-What? What…is…happening?" Sephie's voice is barely a whisper as she's mentally and physically weakened.
"Sephie, you don't have much time, so I need you to listen." Diana began. "You must focus your willpower into breaking the brainwashing Towa used on you."
"H-How?"
"There's a power inside you. It responds to your thoughts and desires. Focus on it."
"I-I'll…try!" Sephie says as she visibly struggles to fight the brainwashing forced upon her as her body glows with [Chaos Energy] rather than its negative variant. "I-I-IT HURTS!"
"Towa's grip on her is too strong. At this rate, the conflict will fry her brain." I walk to Sephie and grab her face, letting our foreheads touch. I focus and transfer my [Chaos Energy] into her, giving her a power boost.
Sephie growls as she grits her teeth. "I…am…not…a…SLAVE!"
With a yell, Sephie ends up unleashing a massive wave of power that shatters her restraints and knocks down Seilah and Ultear as Sephie falls to the ground, but I quickly fly down to her and help her up while using a spell via [Almighty Magic] to contain her Charmian allure from the others, with everyone else slowly surrounding us as Sephie slowly regains her bearings as I help her up.
The fairies and the others all start to get up as the ailments completely vanish.
"Yes! I no longer feel horny!" Natsu cheers before getting kicked by Lucy.
"Don't say it so loud like that!" Lucy yelled.
"Ugh, it's finally over." Laxus says as he shakes his head to clear his mind.
Makarov is still knocked out due to blood loss.
"You okay?" I ask Sephie in concern before giving him a smile.
"I'm great! More than great, I feel like myself again! Thank you all!" Her smile soon dies an ugly death as tears come out of her eyes. "But what now? I have lost everything I ever cared about! My husband, my three beloved daughters, my universe! It's all gone!"
"Don't worry," I place a hand on her shoulder. "We'll get them back."
Sephie wipes her tears. "C… could I get some warm clothes? I'm cold."
"Sure." I say as I used [Nemesis] to engulf her in [Dark Matter]. When it dissipates, Sephie is wearing a stunning white shoulderless dress with purple and gold accessories on her abdomen and a purple and red accents at the top of her dress, with said dress exposing a lot of her massive cleavage and had a cape attached to the dress. She also sported a golden tiara with a purple jewel on her forehead, along with a semi-transparent pink veil over her face that I magically reinforced with [Almighty Magic] to be indestructible and to help regulate her evolved Charmian allure.
"Thank you. And did you really mean it when you said you would restore my universe?!" Sephie asked in a hopeful tone, with everyone else looking at me in response, with Chun-Li in particular looking with a similar hopeful expression.
"Of course, but…" My expression became somber afterwards. "It won't be easy."
"What do you mean?" Ultear asks.
"The multiverse is composed of infinite universes and timelines, and finding both the specific universe AND timeline you each came from is like finding a specific grain of sand in the desert. Not to mention that thanks to Towa and Rusty's meddling, you're lives will never be the same." He explains. "And with the [Chaos Energy] you all now possess, it places a big target on your backs and puts your loved ones in serious danger."
Upon hearing this, Chun-Li and Sephie are saddened by the revelation, but Chun-Li quickly regains her bearings and looks at me with a determined yet reassuring expression.
"I can't speak for Sephie or any of Rusty and Towa's other victims, but as long as they can be restored, then that's all that matters in the end." Chun-Li says. "And just because our lives will never be the same, it doesn't mean we can't find happiness or new meaning. I still have you as my husband, along with many of my friends here."
"And even if I can't see my old family ever again, I can at least take solace that they will be alive again and be happy." Sephie answers more resolutely, though a dark expression soon appears on her face. "Although, hopefully my daughters can keep their father in line without me, as his perverted and selfish antics will undoubtedly cause trouble and he likely won't hesitate in pursuing other women under the belief that I am dead, even if he does spend at least some time mourning me. He always did want a harem, although for far more perverted and selfish reasons than you, Asmodeus."
[Oof! Ain't that the cold, hard truth. But then again, chances are that Sephie never would've fallen for him if he wasn't immune to her Charmian allure, which is ironic given his perverted antics. He definitely won't be immune to her now even if they did reunite due to her modifications, so she's better off moving on rather than clinging to the past. Erza and Jellal learned that lesson the hard way]
*BOOM!* *BOOM!*
The sounds of distant explosions grab my attention.
"... let's put an end to this once and for all." I said and marched forward to the end.
*GONG! *GONG!*
"Hah… hah…" A soft voice breathes out, dodging incoming burning debris and fuel rods as she reaches her destination with a familiar gem in hand.
"This… is it." Mirajane wheezes out before raising one of her hands and blasting the doors to pieces.
She walks inside and is greeted with the harrowing sight as the first thing she sees is the entire altar is completely engulfed in a dark malevolent aura as a ring black energy floats above it like a halo, creating dark cracks that stretch across the room.
"That… is not a good sign." She turns to her side and sees Irene's group knocked out on the ground, their bodies disturbingly pale and seemingly lifeless, likely due to overexposure to the miasma. "That is worse."
She looks back at the corrupted altar and lifts the giant gem. "Urahara-san wasn't kidding, but I am the only one who can do this."
Flashback
"Mira-chan!? How did you get here?!" A surprised Gildarts comically yelled.
"Did you already forget that I can teleport? Your age is really showing, old man." Mira quipped.
"Shut up! I'm still young and handsome!" Gildarts bits back.
Theta chuckles. "And he's already got that old man smell down, too."
"Theta!"
Kisuke lets out a whistle at the sight of the [Master Emerald]. "Wow, that is one big gem."
"It's called the [Master Emerald]. And it's the only thing that can stop the other emeralds' rampage." Mira states before noticing the sounds of the tolling bell. "What is that?"
"Some kind of warning system. Tells you that things are not well." Kisuke said.
"How bad is it?" Mira's question by the rumbling sounds of explosions.
"Oh nothing big, just the total destruction of this universe." Kisuke says nonchalantly.
Mira paled. "What?"
"What he means is that the castle's engines are going into meltdown, and unless we stop them, we'll be in big trouble." 21 clarifies.
The Fairy Tail mage turns her attention back to the emerald. "I think I know a way to stop it."
Yuko steps forward. "How?"
"With a prayer." Everyone turns to Lady Avalon. "You need to recite the prayer that Master gave you in order to control the Chaos Emeralds."
"Seriously? We're going to rely on prayers now? A skeptical Emmie mutters.
"Shh!" Luso hissed.
Mirajane blinks at the reveal. "How did you know that? Asmodeus-kun only told me the prayer just a few seconds ago."
"Magic~" Lady Avalon sang. "In any case, even if you recite the prayer now it wouldn't work as the altar is surrounded in a field of negative energy and the gravity well it's creating will crush you if the miasma doesn't debilitate you first."
"There is also the fact that the ship is tearing itself apart. It's too dangerous." Kisuke adds.
"All the more reason why I should go. My body can resist the negative energy and gravity well long enough to recite the prayer." Mira reasons as everyone takes her words in.
"...alright. Good luck." Kisuke says and Mira smiles.
Flashback ends
Mira begins her tread towards the once sacred altar but as she steps on the threshold, the structure reacts and blasts her back with a black energy wave.
"Argh!" Mira wailed in pain, her [Aura] having been completely shattered. Yet, the blazing fire in her eyes doesn't fade as she gets back up and picks up the [Master Emerald].
Turning into her Lilith form, Mirajane matches towards the altar, being blasted by waves of negative energy and crushing gravity with every step, climbing its stairs and finally reaching the inner shrine where the gravity was just unbearable.
"Here we go…" She places the emerald at the center and recites the chant that her husband gave her.
"The servers are the seven Chaos."
At the same time
Nana charges at Towa with a powerful punch.
"Really? Just when will you stupid humans learn?" Towa mocks as she raises her staff to block the punch.
*BA-BUMP!*
"!?" Towa blinks at the odd sensation before Power Girl's fist hits her face, breaking her staff and sending her stumbling backwards.
She gets up and sees blood on the floor and realizes that it's HER blood.
"W-What's!?" Towa tries to get up but is slammed back down by Hibiki.
The [Master Emerald] pulses and begins to shine in response to the chant.
"Chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart."
Towa is blasted by Ms. Marvel's and Rogue's photon blast, screaming in pain and collapsing on all fours.
She raises her arm in order to launch a blast of her own, but to her horror nothing comes out.
"Where's all of the power!? What happened to my po-" She then remembers Mira and the [Master Emerald] and seethes in rage. "That white bit-GHK!" She chokes as her lungs suddenly collapse and starts to levitate involuntarily.
The perspective shifts to show Storm summoning a typhoon to trap her in. "NOW!"
She-Hulk throws X-23 into the typhoon at incredible speeds like a missile, reaching Towa and easily slicing both of her arms off before coming out of the other side with cuts on her body.
"...!" Towa tries to scream but can't before a rocket appears and hits her creating an explosion.
"Finally nailed that bitch!" Church cheers in triumph.
"The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos."
The negative energy surrounding the temple starts to become unstable.
Towa falls to the ground with a loud thud, injured and crippled. As she tries to get up she hears the sounds of footsteps and sees Grammi, Kushina, Hinata, Goryu, Kagura, Minerva, Storm, Psylocke, Rogue, Laura, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, Juri Han, Cammy, Power Girl, Divine, Natasha, Illyana, Yukino, Jenny, Meredy, Hibiki, Yami, Vados, Marcarita, Kirio Hikifune, Selene, Nanoha, Fate, and Nana all looked down at her with all of their Killer Intent targeted at her.
"... mercy?" Towa pleaded.
Nanoha cracks her neck and aims Raising Heart at her face. "Sorry, all out of mercy."
She pulls the trigger.
"I command you! Reverse the damage the Chaos Emeralds have caused to our universe!" Mirajane pleaded.
The giant emerald shines brightly, obliterating the darkness that had engulfed the seven emeralds. Then all eight gems unleash a golden wave of energy that knocks Mira back as it expands outwards, canceling out the negative energy with positive energy.
Cerebro
"Ah!" Juvia struggles to break out of Buu but it only makes its grip on her tighter.
The rest of the team are not much better, as each of them are enveloped and absorbed by the monster.
August lasted longer than the others, but he was also overwhelmed and defeated.
"I'm sorry… Gray-sama…" Juvia whispers as she closes her eyes.
"GYAAAAA!" Juvia's eyes snap open and watches all of the Buus, including the big one, wail in agony before crumbling to dust, freeing everyone.
The [Aincrad] glows gold and a wave of energy surges out, attacking the negative energy of the Halo Ring and reversing the Genesis Wave, turning the universe back to normal.
The structures of the Demon Realm, along with its monstrous denizens begin to be pulled back into their dimension, and the humans cheer in happiness and relief.
After reuniting with Selene and everyone else who had gone after Towa, and dismissing POR's dimensional lockdown, we suddenly felt a massive shift in power.
"W-what's going on?!" Sephie asks in alarm.
A smile blooms on my face as I feel a new Genesis Wave counteracting the old one, canceling each other out and restoring things back to before we arrived.
"There's no need to worry anymore, everyone. It's finally over." I inform them as I revert to normal.
"Thank goodness, the nightmare is over." Diana sighs in relief before looking at me with a loving expression. "Asmodeus, I think I speak for all the women you initially summoned when I say thank you for summoning us. You not only gave us the chance to meet an amazing man like yourself and experience things we never would've dreamed of, but you had saved us from Rustyrose and Towa in the process. Rustyrose admitted that he had intentionally been searching for all eleven of us in his despicable quest to brainwash and experiment on the most beautiful females of all time, but your act of summoning us kept us out of their reach."
I was left surprised at the revelation and the subsequent kiss I got from both Diana and Chun-Li. 'All of the original [Isekaijin] except Lady Avalon were summoned via the multi-random summoning method, but maybe it wasn't a coincidence? Maybe the [Isekaijin Summoning Staff] intentionally summoned them so I could keep them safe since they are all among the all-time greatest beauties of the multiverse.' I thought in wonder. 'But that might be only part of the reason if my suspicions of someone or something manipulating Rusty and Towa from the shadows are true.'
[This will definitely merit more investigation]
I then walk towards the near dead Towa, her body is in a sorry state with her legs mangled and her arms missing, her blue skin is now completely scorched and her white hair completely gone leaving only a burning scalp. Her once beautiful face has been destroyed with bruises, deep cuts and missing tongue, eyes and teeth. Her breasts have been cut off and the lower bottom of her staff has been shoved deep in her ass.
[They really took the phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn" to unbelievable extremes]
'Yeah. It's still a miracle that she's even breathing.' I grimaced.
"My scans indicate that she is suffering from contusions, severe lacerations, skull fracture, and a diffuse axonal injury." Delta listed. "Normally such injuries would be fatal, but her enhancements are keeping her barely alive."

Holy shit.
To say these rewards are top-tier would be an understatement.
Saving my friends and the multiverse was indeed a heroic action, but to actually get a perk that recognizes me as an actual hero is no small thing, though I did sweatdrop at the last benefit of [Hero of the Multiverse], briefly glancing at the mentioned girls and noticed they were now blatantly ogling me with expressions of love and lust, with Sephie being the most surprising, but considering she was technically still a widow at the moment with the loss of her family and had came to terms with likely never being able to see them again even after being revived, perhaps that was why.
And that [Supreme Seraphim] trait sounds pretty powerful, not to mention it goes well with being the [Legendary Super Saiyan, [True Dragon God, [Majin, and [Void God]! And I imagine Sariel would likely be particularly ecstatic.
And this [Han Jihan's Heir] thing? I never read the story but he seems like a pretty big deal.
My inner Star Wars fanboy was excited at the [Skywalker Lightsaber]. Not just for the insane benefits it provided, but also the fact it was the OG lightsaber!
And these [Infinite Strike Gauntlets] sounded just as good as the [Omni-Sword]!
[Not gonna lie, this might be the best set of rewards you've gotten since beating Aldoron and the immediate aftermath]
'No shit. These are gonna be useful as hell!' I reply before turning my attention to everyone. "Now then, I think it's time we restore everyone's universes."
"!?" This statement surprises a majority of the group, mainly the newcomers.
"You can do that?" Hibiki said.
Instead of answering, I open my hammer space and pull out a large chalice with the [Black Star Dragon Balls] resting inside it.
Xeno Vegito's eyes widened. "Are those…"
"Yup. The first set of Dragon Balls created by the Nameless Namekian before he split into Kami and Piccolo." I confirmed. "While they can grant any wish unlike its later iteration, these ones have the nasty downside of scattering across the galaxy and blowing up the planet the wish was made on within a year's time if they aren't collected and brought back."
"If you know the risk, then why are you using them anyway?" The fusion asks, clearly confused.
"Relax. I would not have them out if I didn't have a plan." They watch the chalice glow black before it stops. "There. I've removed the downsides to the Dragon Balls, now they won't destroy a planet or scatter across the galaxy, instead they'll turn to stone after the wishes are granted and won't return to normal until after six weeks. And he can now grant a second wish."
The fused Saiyan is surprised by his statement. He thought the Namekians were the only ones who could alter the Dragon Balls. Is he also part Namekian?
"Now then," I set the chalice down and take a step back. "Eternal Dragon, by your name I summon you forth! SHENRON!"
The Dragon Balls begin to glow until they burst in a surge of power that shoots outwards, breaking through the roof and into space before forming into a gigantic, four-fingered Chinese dragon. It has long flowing whiskers/barbels on the lower part of its jaw. Its skin is blood red rather than green and also has larger gold horns with sets of multiple smaller ones behind his head and has yellow eyes.
Needless to say, everyone except Xeno Vegito, Vados, and Marcarita were shocked at the presence of the massive dragon, with even Selene being amazed at the sight and power, though Natsu appeared starry-eyed at the sight.
"Why have you summoned me? Make your wish." Ultimate Shenron demands.
"Great Shenron, many universes and their inhabitants were unfairly destroyed due to the actions of two individuals named Rustyrose and Towa. My first wish is that all of the universes destroyed by those two, along with all of their inhabitants except for the really evil ones, be fully restored!" I proclaimed. I added the last bit as a precaution inspired by the Buu Saga, considering that blindly wishing everyone back could also revive evil and dangerous individuals, including even Thanos or Doom given that Rusty and Towa had destroyed one of the various Marvel Universes!
"... so be it." Ultimate Shenron's eyes glow bright yellow before they return to normal. "Your wish has been granted. Speak your second wish."
"Wait, that's it? Just like that?" Juri Han said.
"Just like that." Vados smiles.
"If you all thought THAT was impressive, you should see what the Super Dragon Balls are capable of." Marcarita giggled in amusement, drawing looks of shock and amazement from everyone else of something even MORE impressive than Ultimate Shenron.
"Speak your second wish now!" Ultimate Shenron demands, clearing growing inpatient.
"Alright, calm down!" I said to the dragon. "For my next wish-"
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
Everyone is caught off guard by a sudden series of explosions causing the entire room to shake and fall apart.
"What's happening!? Lucy yelled.
"Delta, what's going on!?" I ask my AI partner.
"The conflicting energy is causing this installation to self-destruct, implosion imminent." Delta states.
"How much time do we have left?" I asked.
"Calculating now."
"As… mo… can… hear…" Someone's trying to reach me but the words are garbled.
Ultear turns to her AI. "Gamma, try to boost the signal."
"You got it." Gamma said.
"Asmodeus, can you hear me?" The voice of Android 21 comes up.
I blink at the familiar voice. "21?"
"Oh good, we finally fixed it!" 21 says in relief before her tone turns serious. "Listen, we're picking up abnormal energy readings from the ring's core. You need to get everyone out of there now."
"Calculation complete. T-minus 2 minutes to detonation." Delta said.
[Oh that is not good]
Meanwhile
Multiple explosions erupt from the halo, breaking apart violently and taking the remaining tow cables with them, freeing the [Aincrad] as debris falls on top of it.
21 sees a new notice on the screen.
Hostile action detected.
Initiating defensive protocol.
The sudden loud and distorted groaning of the engines catches 21's ears. "Ah, Asmodeus? Something's happening."
"What? What is it?" I asked.
"The engines are coming online, and there's notification of a defensive protocol being activated." 21 answers.
My eyes widened. "Shit! That's the Hostile Action Displacement System! It's designed so that in case of hostile action, the unit will send the [Aincrad] to a safe location! The worst part is I don't know where it'll send you all!"
"Can we shut it down!?" 21 asks.
"No. Once the system's engaged, it'll lock the pilot out until it believes the hostile action's over." I said.
[If the automatic defense mechanism is activated, then the destruction of the Halo Array will be far more catastrophic than we anticipated. Considering Rusty and Towa designed this place to launch a Genesis Wave, chances are that there is enough power in the ring to devastate the Fairy Tail Universe and send ripple effects across the multiverse]
'No shit, Tobi! And since I don't have the [Chaos Emeralds] with me, I can't just prevent the place from detonating! And the logic-defying nature of [Chaos Energy] means I can't just wish Shenron to stop it!' I thought in alarm.
[Then what do we do?!]
'I'm thinking dammit!'
"Asmodeus-kun, what's going on!?" I look up to see everyone looking worried and confused.
"A defense system in the [Aincrad] is going to send it far away from here and it'll leave us all stranded if we don't do something about it." I said before snapping my fingers. "I got it!"
"What?" Cammy asks.
I turned to Ultimate Shenron. "You wanna know my second wish, right? Well here it is: I want you to teleport everyone inside the Halo Array to the [Aincrad] except for me."
"WHAT!?" Everyone yells in disbelief.
"What are you doing, Azzy!?" Cana demands in outrage.
"Your wish has been granted." Ultimate Shenron declares and everyone starts to glow and disappear.
Towa's body also glows and is teleported.
In habitat, the bodies of Athena and Metis are teleported away.
Aincrad – Control Room
The control room is suddenly flooded with the bodies of the Fairy Tail, the Etherious, the Isekaijin, the Heroines, Saiyans, and so on.
Kisuke adjusts his hat. "Welcome back-" But is immediately swatted aside by the girls.
"You need to send us back now! Asmodeus is still in there!" Diana demands from 21 who frowns.
"I truly wish I could, but unfortunately we can't. The reactor core of the Halo Array has reached critical due to the overwhelming remaining power of the Genesis Wave becoming unstable due to the counter-wave Mirajane-san released. Going back now could have fatal implications, whether from the overwhelming [Chaos Energy] or its unstable negative variant and the imminent implosion that will come from it." 21 explains, drawing looks of horror from everyone.
"Well, that's all the more reason why we need to go back!" Brandish argued.
"Then you would undo all of the progress you've made." Kisuke retorts as he continues. "We may have stopped the Genesis Wave, but the Halo Array still has enough power to not only devastate your universe but also cause ripple effects to neighboring ones. Asmodeus likely realized this and sent you all back to protect you so that he can contain it."
"But we can't just leave Asmodeus there to die! Not after everything he's done for us!" Wendy cries.
"And what would you do if we did send you back there?" Yoko suddenly speaks up. "You'd be lost and trapped, and if the implosion doesn't kill you then the radiation will. Face it, you'd only be deadweight for Asmodeus-sama."
Wendy flinches at her cruel words and starts to cry as her friends gather to comfort her.
"Yoko, that was unnecessary!" Yuko chastises her older sister.
"All we can do now is put our faith in Asmodeus-kun that he can stop it and come back to us." Sariel says with a sad smile as she and Yuko join the Fairy Tail mages in comforting a crying Wendy.
Erza turns to the windows as she watches the abominable structure exploding in the distance.
"Asmodeus… you once said that I was strong and that you loved me." She seethes as she clenches her fists. "You better come back to us soon… because I have my own feelings to share."
Back in the Halo Ring
"Farewell." Ultimate Shenron glows and he turns into seven spherical stones that I quickly put in my [Inventory].
I then focus my senses on the strongest concentration of [Chaos Energy] in the Halo, undoubtedly where the reactor core was located.
Using [Instant Transmission, I teleported to its location.
"This is it, guys. If I don't make it, I just wanna let you know you were the best." I said.
"It was nice knowing you as well, sir." Delta said.
[Don't count yourself out just yet. You got the power of plot armor and the author by your side]
I walk inside and find a sun-sphere suspended in the air by anti-gravity rings, but those rings are spinning rapidly and the core is growing bigger and hotter.
"... you think there's still time to head back with everyone?" I mutter.
The rings break apart and are sucked into the energy sphere like a vacuum… or a black hole.
"That seems illogical now." Delta responds.
"Ever the voice of reason, aren't you?" I take a deep breath. "Let's save the universe."
I transform into my [True Dragon God] form and combine it with [Chaos Mode] before lunging myself at the sphere, grabbing it.
[You think a combination of your Dragon and Chaos forms will be enough to prevent the reaction from destroying everyone?]
'It has to. My [True Dragon God] form is not only one of my strongest forms but also pushes my [Infinity Dragon Slayer Magic] to its ultimate level, which allows me to consume and manipulate all elements and forms of power. And adding [Chaos Mode] will not only make it stronger and further improve my resistance against any problems caused by the overwhelming [Chaos Energy, but also improve my ability to absorb and manipulate it. Coupled with [Energy Manipulation, I may have a real shot at this!' I replied, resolute on stopping this threat from endangering everyone.
I bite down at the sun and start to absorb the excess energy.
"It is no use. Even if we remove the conflicting energy, it will not stop the implosion." Delta states.
"We don't need to stop it. Just drain it enough so that it doesn't do any irreversible damage to the universe!" I growled.
However, the energy continues to build up faster than I can absorb it, causing the core to glow brighter.
"Oh fu-"
The Halo Array explodes in a firefly blue blaze but it quickly to regress and sucks everything into itself, leaving a giant nebula in its place.
*Woosh~* *Woosh~*
The familiar sounds of waves hit my ears as consciousness fully returns.
"Aaargh." I moaned out, not of pain but of stiffness as I struggled to move.
[We must have been out for a while. The implosion must have knocked out hard]
I slowly get up as I finally find a foothold to force myself up. I look around and find myself in a somewhat normal beach before I look forward and my eyes threaten to shoot out of my sockets.
In the distance is a giant tree, towering over seemingly everything around it.
"Interesting. For a tree to grow of such magnitude it must be incredibly old." Delta comments but notices the strange look on his partner's face. "Asmodeus?"
[Is that what I think it is…?]
"Yeah…" I knew what this tree was, and its significance.
The Great Tree, also called the Mother Tree. Which means I am in the Ever After.
The ninth season of RWBY.
"Shi-"
TO BE CONTINUED!
Would you like to save your current progress?
Saving… DING!
Data is saved.
Author Notes
It's FINALLY DONE! Cue the confetti!
*Confetti sounds*
But seriously, I am so happy this is finally done! I know that a lot of you have been wanting an update for so long but the wait is finally over!
There were so many ideas I wanted to try out but I had to hold back because this chapter was already long as is.
Regarding the Marvel characters, they were done as a means of further emphasizing the stakes since they are arguably the greatest fictional heroes of all time and deal with universal/Multiversal stakes more often than virtually any franchise when you include casual background situations they constantly deal with, as well as to add a small personal angle since they come from the "Marvel vs CAPCOM" universe like this story's version of Chun-Li, as revealed in this chapter.
Hence why, aside from Emma Frost, all the Marvel girls who appeared are playable characters from the video game franchise (Carol is playable in Marvel vs CAPCOM: Infinite, and she has a /Warbird skin option as well, FYI, hence why Carol is instead of Captain Marvel. Well, that and Carol was both hotter and far more likable as than as Captain Marvel). Emma was also added because it fits Rusty's MO in this arc and because it's undeniable she is sexy as hell. But these girls were NOT added just for convenience or fanservice, they will have bigger roles in the story moving forward. Using the versions from said video game universe also gives me more flexibility in how I depict and use them, for those of you who might be major comic fans and might take issue with how I depict them.
…. Y'know, I thought I had more to say here, but I guess I'm just too tired to think of stuff to say.
I wanna thank triscythe59 and Omni-Creator Kami of Anime for their constant help. This story won't have become what it is now without them.
If you love it, great! If you don't, I don't care.
Constructive criticism is always welcomed!
See you all in 2025.
Peace~
