A/N Ciao da Italia! (Hey from Italy!) I know I said I would probably not get a chapter posted until after I returned, but I got so much positive feedback from the last chapter I wanted to upload this one fast! (Also, Italian is hard and I need a break XD ). Anyway, Enjoy!

Nexus HWR 9.6 Counterattack:
Pon-Gatso: Canopy
At the top of the tallest tree on Aebrith, Dash, Ben, and Natsu stood on a huge circular wooden platform. As they were miles off the ground, the wind was gusting about and messing with the boys' hair. In front of them on the platform were a few dozen creatures, many with wings, but some odd ones were just big furry mammal-like creatures with the faces of buffalos. There were other platforms around them, some with flying vehicles on them, but those were mainly vehicles under maintenance as the properly working ones were capsulized.
The three boys from Awul were taking it all in when the young man who led them up there started shouting to be heard over a sudden gust of wind. "This is Pon-Gatso's airfield! There are platforms all over the tree, but this is the main one!" Sokka turned and walked over to a big buffalo creature with soft white fur with gray patterns on it, a long wide tail, and puppy-dog eyes. "And this big lump of fur," Sokka yelled, patting the big buffalo on the side, "is Appa! He's a flying bison and a good friend of mine, he'll take care of-"
The flying bison turned its head and stuck out its tongue. It licked up from Sokka's feet to his face and left the teen covered in saliva. Ben, Dash, Grif, and Natsu burst out laughing, and Black Canary couldn't help but chuckle as well. Superboy was the only other one up there with them and he just kept a frown on his face the whole time. Sokka complained at Appa for that while the flying bison itself looked to be laughing.
Appa was over ten meters long and three meters wide allowing for a large saddle on its back with seats on it. Black Canary walked up to the beast and started patting its face. Appa nuzzled up against her and she smiled at the creature. "There we go boy, okay," she grabbed its reins and started climbing up its side to the saddle.
Dash started walking around the side of the bison, but a shadow passed over his head and he looked up. It was early in the morning so the suns were still on the eastern horizon, but Superboy's body leaping over him cast a shadow for a quick moment. The muscular teenager landed on top of Appa's back right as Dinah was getting up there.
Natsu was planning on climbing up as well, but after Superboy jumped up he just had to do the same. And when Natsu leapt up on top of the fifteen foot tall bison, Ben decided he had to as well. Natsu landed and grinned at Conner Kent, and then turned in a little surprise as Ben landed next to him. Ben smirked at the surprised look, but Natsu did not stay like that for long considering all he had seen Ben do recently.
Dash was annoyed everyone was already up there, and he wondered if he could make the jump without a running start. He tried hopping up, but wound up falling short a few feet. He grabbed a handful of fur and had to pull himself up the last little bit while Natsu and Ben laughed at him. Dash finally got up with a red face right as Grif finished climbing up on the same side Black Canary went up on.
"Sure you want to come Grif?" Black Canary asked the man who walked up and sat next to her on the front row of seats. "Thought you would have rather stayed behind."
"Hey, I might be lazy, but I want to actually win a fight for once," the soldier in thick orange armor replied.
"You're that confident huh?" Dinah asked in surprise.
"The amount of battles with no chance of survival that I've lived through, even a small chance of victory seems like an easy win now." Grif sounded exasperated and excited at the same time. "Besides, if I stay here I bet I'll have to do more grunt work. You guys are going to do it all for me."
"Real noble of you," the woman in all black remarked sarcastically.
"Hey, I'm gonna look like a badass space hero again when this is done," Grif said. "My reasons don't take away from that."
"You know, you're right," Dinah agreed. "Throwing your life away for the Resistance in a low chance of survival mission is respectable no matter what reason you give. Jumping straight into enemy territory, with an entire army aiming at you, I know I wouldn't dare to do something so reckless with only a suit of armor to protect me."
Grif stayed silent. Seconds passed, and then he rose up his head, "Is it too late to back out?"
"Mission is a go!" Sokka called up to the saddle.
"Yip yip!" Black Canary called out and cracked the reins.
"Waaiiittt!" Grif yelled as the flying bison smacked its tail down and shot up in the air.
"Everyone mic check!" Canary shouted.
"Superboy," Conner Kent stated into the black microphone in front of his mouth. The mic was connected to a headset over the top of his head with thick pads outside his ears that blocked out all the wind noise around them.
"Ben here!" Ben called out.
"Dash, ready to go!"
"Natsu, all fired up!"
...
Black Canary turned to her right, "Are you ready Grif?"
"Yes yes I'm ready!" Grif shouted through chattering teeth. Damn what did I sign up for? Gotta just stay behind the kids, they're all as badass as I am.
"Good!" Canary shouted. She then announced, "We're three minutes out. Equipment check!"
The three from Awul were somewhat confused, but they saw Grif patting down his backpack and pulling the straps tight. He lifted up his arms and checked the wing-suit that stretched out under his armpits. The soldier tapped his helmet and switched the display in his visor a few times. "Check!" He finally called out.
"Same," Superboy said, though he did none of what Grif just did.
Dash, Ben, and Natsu started doing the same thing Grif did. "I'm not so sure about these," Dash began as he pulled the straps of the pack on his back tighter. "We didn't really have much time to test them."
"Come on," Ben said to his friend. "They weren't that hard to figure out." He pulled a strap from the backpack around and held it in his right hand. He showed Dash the end of it where there was a controller and pointed at the red button on the top of it. "Just hold down harder if you're falling too fast, got it?"
"Yeah, I think so," Dash mumbled. He lifted up his arms and looked at his squirrel-suit closer. It made him grin and he stated more quietly, "I've always wanted to use one of these."
Although he was trying to whisper it to Ben, they were all wearing headsets and everyone heard what Dash said. Even the boy heard his own voice echo in his head and he spotted everyone turn to him for a second. He went red in the face but then Ben replied, "Me too." Dash looked up at his friend and saw Ben grinning back down at him. The kid stopped blushing and he smiled as well. The whole reason Ben was wearing the wing-suit and not just going to fly like usual was because he always wanted to try one out.
"It's fine to be excited, but remember this isn't a game boys," Canary announced. "We're a minute out. I'll start the countdown to drop with ten seconds left. Keep in mind, this is a one way flight. Grif and Conner both know the rendezvous point south of here. If you miss the rendezvous, it's a long trek back to Pon-Gatso."
Dash and Ben glanced at each other, then turned and looked back into the distance south of them. The tree was faded but still visible. They heard the Fire Nation's encampment was a hundred miles north, so still being able to see the tree was impressive. Then again, it was one of the tallest landmarks for thousands of miles, taller than some distant mountains. They were so high up in the air that there was a layer of clouds beneath them keeping them from seeing the ground.
"Pon-Gatso seems so close, even though we've been flying for thirty minutes," Dash said while staring back at the tree.
"I know, it's almost like-" Ben's voice got cut off by Black Canary screaming into the mic.
"Hold on!" She pulled up on the reins and Appa swerved to the left. Everyone held onto their seats as flying up on the right side of their flying bison was a rock twenty feet in diameter. The boulder was covered in flames and it came out of nowhere, bursting through the cloud layer below them. The entire group looked forward and their eyes widened as out from the cloudy sea beneath them, dozens of holes started ripping open with fireballs flying through them.
"We're going in hot!" Black Canary shouted and her voice echoed over their headsets. "Still thirty seconds out!"
"The drop zone is too hot," Superboy called out. "Pull up!"
Canary pulled on the reins and brought Appa higher in the air, but as she did, a fireball flew right in front of Appa's face and the flying bison jolted to a sudden stop. It had to slap its tail down again to keep moving and another ball of fire almost hit it in the tail. "Let's just jump here!" Ben shouted. "Appa won't make it much longer!"
"We're still miles out from the drop zone, your suits won't bring you all the way to their encampment!" Canary yelled back.
Another fireball flew up on Appa's left side and some embers from it flew off and landed on the bison's fur. It roared out in pain right as Dinah Drake shouted, "Ten! Nine…"
Dash was patting out the fire as fast as he could, but Natsu stepped up right next to him and drew the kid's attention. "Natsu, what are-"
Natsu opened up his mouth and the flames on Appa's fur went out, sucking into his mouth instead. He gulped, and then as Black Canary yelled out, "Seven," he dove off the side of the furry creature.
"Natsu!" Ben yelled after his older friend.
"Damn it," Superboy growled. "He's our trump card, we can't let him go in alone." The man stood up and ran to the side Natsu just jumped off.
"Conner!" Black Canary yelled after him, but Superboy was already leaping off the bison.
"Turn Appa around!" Ben yelled at the woman flying their ride. "We don't want him to get hurt!" Black Canary looked at Ben closely, and watched as the boy looked at his friend and nodded. The two youngest boys ran over to the side and jumped off, and Canary turned to Grif.
"You know, the longer you wait the farther in front of the others you're going to wind up," she told the hesitating soldier.
Just like that, Grif sprinted to the edge and dove off the side of the bison, (ungracefully). Black Canary looked after him and whispered into the headset, "Good luck you guys." She pulled the reins hard to the right and Appa made a sharp turn, right as another fireball flew up from the clouds beneath where he was just heading. Canary spun her head around and watched the fireball lift up behind Appa, and she let out a deep breath of relief that she did not get caught up in that.
Off of the bison, the ones who jumped were free-falling through the air. They had their arms down against their sides and were falling horizontally out of the sky with the wind pressing against their faces. "It's s-s-so c-c-cold," Dash said while his lips flapped around in the wind. The little boy with blond hair dropped only a few meters away from his older friend by a year and the two lifted up their heads to grin at each other before pointing their bodies more downwards to speed up.
As they dropped through the cloud layer beneath them, their excited looks vanished and replaced with looks of sheer panic. "That's, a big army," Ben said, not at all trying to hide the fear in his voice. They were over the empty Scorched landscape to the north of Pon-Gatso, but about three miles north of where they were falling started the enemy's encampment. "Encampment," really was not the best word for the literal town set up that stretched miles wide and even longer than that back. They could see the other side of the army because they were so high up, but even the back of the lines of tents and makeshift buildings did not end the enemies' numbers. Behind the back of their lines were trucks driving south and north as if running a supply line, and on every side of the enemies' location there were tall watchtowers that were all blaring sirens at the moment.
On the inside of the several-square mile large enemy base, were hundreds, maybe thousands of tents set up. The ground near the front lines a mile in front of them had thick steel spikes sticking out of the ground and crossing each other to stop Resistance vehicles from moving up. There were machine gun turrets up on the watchtowers, and flamethrowers on the front lines behind small stone walls set up for cover. The tents were set up in a grid pattern to leave large spaces as pathways for troops, and while the group fell from the sky they saw hundreds of soldiers running out of the makeshift buildings and out of tents and gathering up their armor and weapons.
Most of the soldiers put on red and black armor, including gauntlets, helmets, boots, and full-body tunics. There were many who did not though, and these were the ones Ben focused on more closely. Sokka said that every army does not just have soldiers from their High Lord. Usually to make stronger alliances between members of the Cooperative, they send soldiers to help with different conquests. There should be some Chimera Ants like the ones I fought the other day, but maybe mutants like in Dressrosa too, and some other strange people with powers too. Ben gulped as he saw the doors open on main building in the middle of the encampment, made entirely of black steel and giving off a lot of black smoke out the top of it. He was looking closer at that large building than any of the other ones billowing smoke, and he spotted several people coming out of there who looked stronger than the average soldiers.
Natsu was falling much farther down than Ben and Dash, and he was about to reach the ground. The whole time he fell though, he was sizing up the enemies' forces rather than the buildings or defenses they had set up. He saw all the soldiers in armor with spears and swords and the Fire Nation soldiers who were probably more proficient with their fire who did not carry any weapons at all. But he also spotted the different types of enemies within their ranks, and more specifically he spotted an area that made him uneasy. Some of the monsters they had been fighting since landing on Aebrith, ones he remembered from his first weeks on Nexus as well, were being held in a pen near the front of the camp. These big black beasts with bone structures on their outsides and red glowing eyes, called Grimm, were hungry for human flesh and got attracted by negative emotions, but this was the first time he saw anyone using them for their own gain.
While he fell, he saw a few Fire Nation soldiers, strange-looking ones who wore white masks that had three horizontal slits across the middle of them, walk over to the pen and slap whips down making the Grimm follow them out. At the same time, Natsu saw an area towards the back of the encampment where there was another pen full of creatures, only these were not Grimm but large, hairy, three-horned, four-legged animals. Soldiers ran over and climbed up on the creatures' backs, and cut the ropes holding them down so that they could move up. Beasts even farther back than those shot up into the air flapping their wings down and growling with mouths of sharp teeth and just as menacing riders on their backs.
For the first time since volunteering to go after the Fire Nation, Natsu had doubts about what he signed up for. It looks like they can use a lot more than fire. I might have to be careful like Gray's been telling us. Natsu hardened his expression and something caught his eye far to his left. Superboy had caught up to him by falling almost straight down head-first, and the teen with broader shoulders turned his head and looked over at Natsu. He nodded his head at the Fire Dragon Slayer, and then extended out his arms and the wings on his suit spread out as well. The wind caught under the wings and Conner snapped up to start gliding over the sky towards the enemy instead of straight down. As he did this, he grabbed the bottoms of the straps of his pack and he pressed down on both red buttons hard. The bottom of his pack opened up and the propulsion system turned on, shooting out hot air that propelled him through the sky much faster.
"Jetpacks are so fucking cool," Natsu said, and everyone listening through the headsets smirked a little, even Superboy who immediately frowned again afterwards. Natsu spread his arms and used the jetpack as well, doing a three-sixty roll in the air on his way towards the enemy. He shot after Superboy, but was pretty far behind the younger man who used his jetpack first. That was probably a good thing, because all of a sudden, hundreds of yellow beams started shooting up in the air from a mile and a half in front of them. Huge balls of fire flew their direction too and Natsu followed the trajectories back to a line of tanks right in the middle of the enemies' formation.
Superboy tried dodging the beams for a few seconds, but there were far too many of them and they cut right through his wing-suit. Conner's voice came over the headsets, "Don't try flying over them! Land outside and move in! I'm going-" Superboy dropped out of the sky and slammed into the ground. Static filled their headsets for a few seconds and then cut off entirely.
Natsu let go of the buttons on his straps and put his arms down at his sides. He let himself drop straight down and then tapped the buttons a few times when he was close to the ground to slow his fall. He finally just dropped the last ten meters and bent his knees upon landing. Natsu stood up fully and took his arms out of the straps. He dropped the pack on the floor and looked ahead with a worried look at a cloud of dust that rose up half a mile in front of the enemies' front lines. The dust rose up in a line from where Conner hit down in the middle of the field of metal spikes, to almost at the first walls the enemy soldiers were standing behind. "Yo Superboy, you still there?" Natsu questioned into the microphone in front of his mouth.
Inside the dust cloud, Superboy pressed his right fist down on the ground. He got up to one foot, and then off his other knee and stood up fully. He stepped forward through the cloud of dust and glared forward at the front of the enemy lines where hundreds of soldiers looked back at him with nervous looks. They made him drop a few hundred feet out of the air while filling him with beam rifle bullets, so the fact that he looked just barely bruised up, and very pissed off, was more than a little nerve-racking. Superboy stepped his right foot forward and bent down that leg, bent the front of his body, and bowed his head. He clenched his fists at his sides and ground his teeth, and then kicked off his back foot and started sprinting so fast that the ground under each step tore up into the air.
"Fire!" a man at the front of the Fire Nation's army shouted.
Thirty Fire Nation soldiers jumped up in front of the first barricades and punched their right fists out. Fireballs shot off of every single one of their arms and flew down at Superboy. The Kryptonian sprinted faster than before though and made it just underneath the first barrage of attacks that all exploded behind him. He kept charging, but the line of soldiers jumped in the air again and did a kick across the front of their bodies. They all jumped at different heights so that the whips of flames flew at him on every level. Conner had to cross his arms and just keep running forward, but he still winced in pain as the flames surrounded him for a second. Right as he got through it he opened back up his eyes, and they widened seeing an endless barrage of those flame whips coming at him so he would not have another second of break.
As the flames were about to hit him though, they all changed direction and shot to Superboy's left. He spun his head and his eyes widened as Natsu was standing there fifty feet behind him, his body leant back, and his chest puffed out as all the flames on the Scorched field sucked into his mouth. The soldiers themselves who were attacking slowed down and finally stopped as their flames were all acting weirdly. They followed the movement of their fire all the way to the point it was getting sucked into, and their jaws dropped at the sight of the man behind it who literally snacked upon their attacks.
Natsu started slowly walking forward, and he rose up his right and left fists so that they covered in flames. Those flames expanded twenty times in the matter of a few seconds so it looked like Natsu had massive bonfires on the palms of his hands. He grinned a sharp-toothed grin and then roared, "I'm all fired up!" He slammed his hands down to his sides and shot out jets of flames behind him that lifted him up just high enough to clear all the metal spikes crossing out of the ground. He flew right over the first barricades and over the front lines of soldiers who lifted up their heads and weapons to get him, but Natsu was already lifting his hands up above his head and a massive fireball had formed with the connection of the flames on his right and left hands. "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" Natsu smashed down the fireball right in the middle of the front lines.
An explosion of fire a hundred feet in every direction erupted below Natsu. Superboy had to raise his arms to protect his face from the heat pressing into him, and when he lowered his arms he had a stunned look on his face. When he punched Natsu in the face the first time they met, he got the wrong impression about the Dragon Slayer. He thought he was weak. Now, Superboy had a little bit of a better idea about how strong the pink haired wizard was. He himself realized he was just standing there and decided to charge back in again, though as he ran forward he spotted one of the watchtowers, the one on the front right corner of the camp, firing its machine gun turret up in the sky.
Conner spun around and looked up in the air, to see Ben and Dash flying around with their squirrel-suits, trying to dodge the bullets and beams flying up at them. He looked around for a second, and then took two steps to his right and reached his arms out. Superboy grabbed the two crossing metal beams sticking out of the ground to stop tanks from rolling in, and with one hard tug he ripped them out of the ground. The young man turned and lifted up the beam in his right hand, pulled back, and then threw it like a javelin. He waited two seconds, then nodded his head in accomplishment as the supports on the left side of the watchtower ripped apart and it started to fall over. He turned around and got ready to throw the other beam at the tower on the opposite side, but a hail of gunfire slammed into his chest before he had the chance.
The young Kryptonian skid back across the floor for a few seconds before grinding his teeth and digging in. The gunfire continued but Conner just slowly lifted his head and stared across the field of spikes to the other watchtower where he looked into the eyes of the gunman. The man behind the turret panicked at that cold gaze and stumbled back, then dove off the side of the watchtower with his partner a second before the second beam ripped through the floor and tore the tower apart.
Meanwhile, Dash and Ben were falling and although they jumped a little after Natsu and Superboy, they were falling right over them considering Appa made it farther before they dropped. They did not dive as fast either and had opened up their wing-suits earlier, allowing them to glide farther over the front of the enemy lines. "Dash, get your guard up!" Ben yelled as they dropped towards the enemy camp below. Hundreds of beams of yellow light shot up at them, but now different sized balls of fire were shooting up as well, and even a few blasts of green and blue light.
The two kids swerved left and right dodging as many attacks as they could. Dash saw two beams flying up towards his wings and he turned his body sideways, just making it in between them. He stopped himself short to let a fireball fly in front of him and then yelled out to make a white forcefield surround his body, including his wing-suit to protect it from getting ripped apart. Ben also formed a white aura around himself, and he just kept flying forward without worrying about the attacks shooting up at him. The thirteen year old started taking deep breaths, and he closed his eyes while flying forward.
"Dropping a regroup position a mile out. The capsule has cover and medical supplies in it," Grif's voice came over their headsets.
"Natsu, stop running so far ahead!" Conner yelled out, his scratchy voice echoing in Ben's ears as well. It sounded like his comms were not completely broken but there was something messed up with them for sure.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu yelled.
"AHHHHH!" dozens of people screamed down below.
Ben snapped his eyes open as he reached a hundred feet over the camp. He was just about halfway across it, almost at the black building in the center billowing the most black smoke of any. Ben saw thousands of soldiers shooting at him or running his way to attack him when he landed. The Fire Nation tamers were dragging monsters through the camp and enemies flying on top of mounts flew above him and fired attacks down at his head. He let out his deep breath, and his body surrounded in a green light. Ben's arms and legs rippled out with muscles and his skin turned orange, with a light coating of fur growing out of him. His clothes vanished and his chest and stomach became ripped with abs and pecs, though a lighter tone of tan than the orange fur that covered the rest of his body. He grew over twice his normal height and over four times as wide as usual, broadest at his shoulders. His face looked like that of a dinosaur with small holes on its nose and glowing yellow eyes. Ben's Omnitrix symbol glowed green on the center of his tan chest, and he had a long orange tail sticking out of his butt.
The twelve foot tall monster dropped out of the air like a rock and it roared with its head pointed down at the enemies below, "HUMUNGOUSAUR!"
Ben slammed down in the middle of twenty soldiers who were waiting for him to drop originally with confident expressions on their faces, but looked a lot more afraid now. Some of them tried stabbing him with their steel spears as he dropped, but the shafts of their weapons broke as soon as Ben dropped down on them. He slammed his fists down on the ground that along with the momentum of his drop, caused the ground beneath him to crack down and break apart in every direction. Chunks of ground lifted up and slammed into enemies around him, many of whom crossed their arms to try and form some sort of guard.
Two men charged at Ben on his left and he swung his fist in a backhand swipe at them. He knocked the two of them up in the air screaming, then punched his right fist forward and hit another man charging right at his front. He felt a prick on his back and he swiped his tail back there, taking three men off their feet. A few rifle beams slammed into the back of his head and he oofed. The monster growled in a deep booming voice, "Alright, who did that?" He turned and glared behind him, only for his yellow eyes to grow wide at the sight of hundreds of people aiming at him. They took down their tents to make the area a lot more open, and now everyone could see exactly where Ben landed.
A mile to his right he saw pillars of flames rising up and more explosions going off. The watchtowers around the camp were constantly firing, Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Chhhhh! The spray of gunfire ripped across the camp and Ben watched as twenty men got tossed into the air by an explosion closer to the front of the army. This is nuts! He crossed his arms in front of him as more and more people fired weapons at him, and he was getting nervous about their chances here. Bigger! He growled and his body started rising up, getting to twenty feet, to thirty, all while his enemies yelled at each other in panic.
"Fire!" a woman's voice shouted, and suddenly Ben felt a sharp shock in his back. The sensation and pain of something slamming into the center of his back was topped by electricity filling his entire body and he roared out in pain. He stumbled forward and reached a hand behind his back, rubbing the spot where a bolt of lightning just slammed straight into his fur. Humumgousaur turned around and glared down, to see a young woman with her black hair up in a bun wearing a suit of thin black armor with dark red spaulders on that spiked out to her sides. There was a man next to her with green hair who had an oddly familiar face. They were both frowning up at him from behind twenty columns of soldiers who fired their weapons together at the humongous beast.
"RAAA!" Ben roared down at them, but the woman and the man next to her did not flinch. The girl just smirked wider and the man at her side continued to frown calmly. Ben hated those confident looks on their faces and he started charging forward. Men and women ran out of his way as he charged, his feet shaking the battlements, and Ben roared out, "Let's see how you like this!" He jumped up in the air and his body surrounded in green light again. When the light was gone, Ben's body had completely changed. He was now eight feet tall with a body that was mostly black with white only in a vertical line up the center of his torso and splitting off around both sides of his black neck. The green hourglass Omnitrix symbol stayed in the same spot in the center of his chest, but he had one green eye now in the middle of his face. His body was tall and lanky, with thin legs and arms, and two long antennae sticking off the top of his head that pushed back like slicked-back hair. At the ends of his long black arms were hands that had strange-looking fingers though, little yellow tubes that looked to be made of metal and were sparking electricity. The end of his antennae and the end of his long black tail had similar yellow plugs on them that looked like they were meant to be inserted into outlets. "Feedback!" Ben yelled in a more high-pitched voice than the low roar of his previous transformation.
Feedback dropped down on the ground and he pushed both hands back behind him. Out of the conductors on his fingers shot beams of blue light that lifted him off the ground and shot him forward. He saw the woman with a black bun pointing two fingers up in the air at him, and watched as static electricity formed around her fingers. She fired the attack, and the antennae sticking behind Ben's back whipped around the front. They stopped in front of his body and started absorbing the energy she fired at him. The woman attacking him lowered her arm in surprise, and then the alien fired the energy back by pointing his tail between his legs and shooting a beam of blue light her way.
She leapt out of the way as did the man with her, but the others in their vicinity were all caught up in the explosion. Ben dropped down on the ground and a few men went in to slash at him, but he was much more agile in this form as well and started sprinting in and out of the ranks of enemy soldiers. He let them slash by him and smacked his hands out to the sides without coursing any electricity through his arms. He was super strong in this form anyway though, and each smack knocked soldiers off their feet and sent them flying. As he was about to reach the enemy leaders, Ben had a sudden realization, My watch is going to hit its time limit soon! He froze in place, and at that second the man with green hair charged him.
The guy got right up in front of Ben's face and this time the alien boy definitely knew he had seen the man before. "Sanji?" Feedback asked, and the man pulling back a fist to hit him froze in place. The man had swirly eyebrows just like Sanji, but he was wearing a set of big headphones that curved over the top of his head and had a pair of sunglasses up front on his slicked back green hair that pulled into a ponytail behind his head. He had a green neckerchief around his neck, a black cloak on with the number four on it, and he was wearing heavy-looking steel gloves. The man hesitated for a second, and he watched as Ben's body covered in a green light and transformed him back into the same small kid they saw falling from the sky before. "Is, that you, Sanji?" Ben asked, feeling nervous as the man looked similar but still a little different from his good friend.
"How do you know, that bastard Sanji's name?" The man in front of him growled. "He's supposed to be dead."
"So, you're not him?" Ben asked, while everyone around them just stared at the two of them in confusion. "But, you look so much alike."
"No I'm not that pathetic runt," the man growled. "I am Yonji. Tell me, did my useless brother come back to life on this world?"
"Come back to life?" Ben muttered confusedly. "I don't think Sanji ever died."
"Ehh? Then he would be a man around my age, not a brat like you," Yonji remarked.
"Yeah, he is a man your age," Ben retorted like the man in front of him was an idiot. The guy looked surprised at that statement, but got even more confused as Ben started smirking at him much wider than a second ago. "Damn you're stupid. I needed some time to recharge, and you just stood there and gave it to me." The older man ground his teeth in anger and pulled back his fist, but Ben's body surrounded in green light again. Yonji punched forward anyway, and as the green light went away he smirked at the sight of his fist pressing against Ben's face.
Ben's normal head snapped to the side and he felt a bruise forming on his right cheek, but he did not go flying backwards. He just continued to stand in place as he turned his head forwards, pushing Yonji's hand back as he did. The man in front of him went wide-eyed at the sight of the kid's competitive grin, the glint in his black-irised eyes of a true warrior, and the brown tail sticking out of his butt. "Saiyan Ben," he growled. Ben lifted off the ground in one fluid motion so his face was at the same level as Yonji's, and then he kicked up under the man's chin and sent him flying back over all of his men.
At this point, the Fire Nation started to panic. "Commander Yonji!"
"Yonji's down!"
"No I'm not!" Yonji roared and flew up in the air. As he rose up, Ben shot towards him in a blur of white light. The kid punched at Yonji as the man punched down at him, and their fists pushed against each other in midair. Ben spotted a ball of blue fire rising towards him and he backflipped in midair, then dropped down and slammed both of his legs at the top of Yonji's head. Yonji rose his arms and blocked the kicks, but he yelled out, "Stay out of this Azula! I can handle this brat!"
"Watch your tone with me, husband," Azula snapped right back up, and she fired another ball of fire at the two of them flying in the air. "Stay out of my flames or get burned."
Yonji opened his mouth to reply, but as he was distracted by Azula, Ben's fist got past his guard. His eyes only had a split second to widen before Ben's fist indented into his face and the boy pushed hard into it, knocking Yonji into the distance where he slammed into a tank and that tank exploded. Ben dropped out of the air and he turned right towards the growling coming from the creatures of Grimm being led his way. "KAME-" Ben began, and everyone near him froze in place. They stopped charging him and even Azula lowered her arm and her body felt chills.
"What is he doing?!"
"It can't be!"
"He's faking it!"
"HAME!" Ben roared, and his hands that he pulled down to his right side started to glow. A blue orb of light illuminated there and grew into the size of a bowling ball. It gave off so much light that everything around him started glowing blue.
"RUN AWAY!"
"AHHH!"
Guess they know what's coming, Ben thought. He shoved his hands forward and screamed, "HAAAAAA!" The blue orb at the connection of his hands flew off and a beam of blue pushed against the back of it. It flew forward into the front lines of the Grimm, and it tore straight through the spiky black beasts. Their bodies ripped apart while the men leading them dove to the sides and still got thrown by the beam. Ben's attack kept going until it slammed into one of the smaller buildings that was giving off a lot of black smoke, and the ball of light erupted in a huge explosion the likes of which Ben had never created before. The dome of blue light rose up thirty meters high and spread fifty in diameter. Ben himself stared at the explosion with widening eyes for a few seconds before looking back down at his hands in amazement.
As he stood there looking at his hands, apparently someone got the idea to attack him and five soldiers punched their fists his way at the same time. Five balls of fire flew at Ben and collided at the same time, making the young man with a brown tail stumble to the side and yell out in pain as he got surrounded by fire. Ben flew straight up to escape the flames, but as he rose, that woman from before pointed two fingers up at him and another bolt of lightning shot out of her hands. Ben remembered the story he heard from Sokka about the Fire Nation's leader and his great granddaughter, and telling from the level of power this fire bender had, he had figured out who it was even before Yonji called out her name. Azula, I have to be careful of her, he dodged the lightning by barely getting his head out of the way in time, and he knew she was the one who hurt him back when he was Humungousaur; he could still feel the burn on his back.
Before Ben could approach the woman who was moving her arms around in a strange pattern to create more fire, his wrist lit up red and he snapped his gaze to it. What?! The time should not have run out that fast, unless I didn't wait long enough when I was talking to Yonji. No, I should have had more time! His whole body flashed red and his tail vanished, as did his white aura. Calm down Ben, bring back the aura and keep it up until the watch is better. You are strong! He convinced himself and brought his fists down to his side, elbows tucked in. "Raaaa, RAAAAA, AAAHHHHH!" A white aura rippled around Ben's body and the ground underneath his feet started shaking. Little rocks lifted up in the air and broke apart inside his thin aura, and Ben snapped up his head to look over at Azula.
The young woman facing off against him still had a smirk on her face, and he had no idea why until he saw the figure out the corner of his eye. It happened so fast he almost did not see it coming, someone popping up out of the ground next to him with a hairless green head and body, and eight arms sticking out on either side. His lanky arms were white but with dark green hands the same color as his torso. He looked like a centipede, but was as tall as a human, and had a human's face. Chimera Ant, Ben thought, and then the figure's body covered in a white aura right as it started swinging the eight arms on the right forward. It can control its energy! He realized, and moved his arms in to block the punches.
The hits were still hard and Ben got knocked back through the air so he landed on his feet and skid away several yards. He kept skidding and tore right through a tent, then tripped on a pile of logs and started tumbling backwards before flipping himself back up on one hand and skidding more on one hand, a knee, and a foot. "He's mine Centipede!" A voice yelled to Ben's right. The kid spun his head to the right only to see an armadillo standing on two legs, the same height as an average person but with a rat's face and sharp teeth. The creature jumped up in the air and curled in, its back curling around the rest of its body to make it round with the hard shell on the outside.
"You can try Baro!" the other Chimera Ant who punched Ben first yelled, and he dropped down on all sixteen legs and started crawling across the ground at forty miles per hour. Baro was moving even faster though, as when he curled into a ball he was able to speed up twice as fast as before by rolling his way towards Ben. The two Chimera Ants raced across the battlefield and around them, Fire Nation soldiers were charging at Ben as well.
He heard shouting behind him and glanced back to see another squad of fighters charging at his back. They punched their fists forward or jumped and kicked, sending powerful fire attacks his way. At the same time, two creepy red-eyed men riding dragons dove down towards Ben and fired their glowing green cannons at him. He was being attacked from every side and he had no idea what to do.
"I've got your back!" a voice shouted, coming in on Ben's headset, though the boy could hear it behind him too. Dash came out of nowhere leaving a path of rising dust behind him. He ran right in front of the flaming attacks heading for Ben's back and the wind funnel from him running so fast caught all of the flames. Dash did a full circle around the enemies behind Ben and kept running faster and faster until the flames were whipping around in a flaming cyclone. "Woohoo!" He yelled while leaving his tornado and letting it take the enemies away with it. He sprinted forward and jumped up in the air, while forming two large balls of yellow light on his hands. "Watch this!" He yelled, and fired his attacks up in the air.
The two huge green bursts of energy dropping from the sky that were fired from the dragon-riders' cannons slammed into each of Dash's attacks and exploded in huge spheres of yellowish-green light in the sky. The riders were too close to the blasts and yelled out as they were thrown from the backs of their mounts that reared to get away from the explosions. "Yaahoooo!" Dash screamed as he came back down and continued running faster than anyone could see.
When Dash shouted at Ben to 'watch this' the older boy almost did, but with Dash guarding his back, he knew where his focus had to be. He looked ahead at the enemies charging him and he calmed down his breathing. They were approaching fast, they had unknown skills, but they were powerful, and if he focused too much on them, other enemies would take advantage of the situation. Not another Kamehameha, save that for last if you need one final attack. Don't waste energy with ki attacks, but fly if you need to dodge and don't have anywhere else to go. Flying could also work out well 'cause I could stop those riders from attacking us from above. But then these two will still be trouble for the others. I should take them down now. Ben stared at Baro, the armadillo Chimera Ant who was approaching fastest. All his thoughts happened in the matter of a few seconds, and Dash did everything behind him in only one or two, but Baro was already on him and he still did not have a great plan of action.
"Alright, here goes!" Ben jumped to the left and he rose his arms at the same time. As he was jumping to the left, hoping his enemy would roll right by him, he saw something sticking out of the back of Baro's ball. The creature had a tail, one that he slapped down on the ground to change his trajectory mid-roll and send him straight after Ben at the same speed at before. The ant grinned as he figured he had the boy, then became very confused as something hard crashed into his shell and knocked him backwards. He unrolled and looked forward, only to see the boy who a second before had nothing in his hands, holding a long blade with a key at the end of it. The armadillo was still falling, but Ben pointed his Keyblade forward and aimed straight at the monster's unguarded stomach, "Fire!"
The tip of his Keyblade glowed red for a second, and then a tiny fireball shot off of it and slammed straight into Baro's chest. The Chimera Ant yelled out in pain and he fell down on his back, but Ben frowned at the weak power of his Keyblade's magic. Riku totally would have blown him away with that attack. He realized he was distracted and spun, just in time as Centipede caught up and started slamming down a barrage of punches too fast for Ben to dodge them all. Punches were getting by his defense as he tried swinging his Keyblade around to knock them all back. Too fast! Ben jumped back to gain some distance but the Chimera Ant jumped right after him.
Ben slashed his Keyblade forward and the ant ducked under it, leaning his head forward towards Ben's neck. He's going to bite me! Ben realized, and in that same moment he saw something that made him grin. He slammed his eyes shut, and when he opened them back up they were pure orange. Two more eyeholes opened up above those, and Ben's skin turned red. Two arms ripped out beneath his armpits, all four of them grew muscular, and he flexed them at his sides. Centipede panicked as the boy he was about to bite down on grew twice his original height and many times in size, but he did not back off nearly fast enough to dodge the quadruple-fisted punch that hit him a second later. "Fourarms baby!" Ben shouted victoriously.
As Centipede flew off of Ben's fists, he turned to the other Chimera Ant he knew would be rolling back towards him in a second. Baro looked seriously pissed off and the armadillo's eyes glowed bright red as he rolled back into a ball. He shot forward, speeding up and up and he jumped up in the air above Ben. "RAA!" A voice roared behind Ben and a huge tube of spinning flames wrapped around the ant who screamed as he got caught up in it and all burnt up.
Centipede spun towards his comrade. "Baro!" He shouted, but the armadillo-type ant was lying unmoving on the ground. He saw the one who burned him land far to the left and he darted his eyes that way, He takes pauses between fire attacks, after the next one I'll go in for the- "Agh-" Centipede's body doubled over as there was now a fist imbedded in his gut. Dash Parr followed through with his punch and then pumped the fist in the air as his enemy went flying, "Another one for the Dashmeister!" He landed on the ground and Ben came running up to him back in human form. Screams rang out on their right, and then Natsu came running through a wall of fire up to them as well.
"Looks like you guys made it down okay," Natsu remarked between panting breaths as he finally took a break.
"Where's Superboy?" Dash questioned.
"His comms are acting up," a voice said over the headset. They could hear Grif even though he was nowhere in sight, and the missing soldier continued, "But I see him three quarters of a mile to the left of your position. He's facing off against some powerful fire benders over there. Someone should go help him out."
"Yeah, and why don't you do that?" Ben questioned the man speaking in their ears.
Grif laughed and the others sweatdropped. The soldier standing miles south of them, on top of the roof of a building he popped open from inside a capsule, lifted his hand from the top of his helmet and grabbed the Grif Shot 2.0 off his back. "I'm guarding your escape route in case you need it. But so far you guys are looking good, keep up the good work! Grif out."
Though the soldier was staying far away from the battle, he lifted his rifle towards the enemies. They've got us outnumbered a thousand to one, but we've totally got this. He noticed his Grif Shot was shaking and he steadied it over the wall's edge that he was standing behind. "Take this!" He yelled out, and started firing his knife-gun. The rifle worked as a grenade launcher and a few seconds after Grif fired his first shot, one of the watchtowers on the side of the encampment exploded. The armored Resistance soldier slowly dropped his jaw and watched as the tower burst into flames and started creaking before violently collapsing. Fire Nation soldiers were screaming and yelling out, but Grif started yelling for a different reason. "Oh yeah! Go Grif! I'm awesome!"
The celebrating soldier suddenly saw a large group of enemies turning his way and he gulped, his loud cheers silencing. He was feeling cocky though, and he leaned over the wall and cupped his free hand to his mouth, "Come get some!" He rose up the Grif Shot and fired a few more attacks, making explosions all over the front lines of soldiers who were regrouping to go charging into their own forces to hunt down their enemies. Their attentions were turned back in front of them and they looked across the field covered in metal spikes towards a single black building that seemed to be the enemy's headquarters. There was only one man on top of that building, and since they were on the front lines they all saw him drop from the sky a few minutes ago and knew he was the only one over there.
"Let's go take him down!" a soldier yelled, a man holding two ferocious-looking Grimm back with leashes. He let go of the leashes and the creatures charged, while close to fifty Fire Nation soldiers ran forward as well. Grif dropped his jaw and started shooting faster, but his gun started clicking without firing anything. "Crap! Ammo!" He spun and looked down, to see only one extra rack of ammo up here. No. Did I… "Umm, guys," Grif said, and the others fighting in the camp ahead of him listened to his voice over the comms. "I might have forgotten to stock the base with extra ammo."
Grif peeked down inside the lower level but he did not see any extra ammo down there either. He reloaded his gun with the one magazine of extra grenades he did bring, but his voice sounded panicky over the mics as he called for help.
Natsu, Ben, and Dash looked at each other, and Dash nodded his head, "I got this." The little blond boy who was fastest of them all turned and sprinted back for their helpless comrade. As he ran off, Natsu and Ben faced off against a woman who regrouped her forces before them.
Azula stood in front of her army. They were caught mostly off guard by the sudden attack from the sky, but her troops were prepared now. The Fire Nation soldiers were armed and armored, they knew their enemies' strengths, and they had much higher numbers. Behind her rolled up several dozen tanks, and flying in the air above them were some small dragons with riders on them. Standing between the tanks were tall creatures with four long lanky legs and slender green bodies. The Eel Hounds were the fastest mounts of the Fire Nation and the riders on top of them looked more elite than the other soldiers surrounding the two boys in front of them. They all had bald heads and held whips in one hand and pistols or rifles in the other.
Rhinoceroses stomped over with more heavyset bald riders sitting atop each of them. The rhinos had three horns on their faces with the longest one sticking out of their snouts, and two others sticking out the tops of their heads like bulls. "You two there," Azula said, pointing at the people in front of her. "Can I assume you are the Resistance's counterattack?"
As she spoke, Centipede got up on her left side and he rubbed his stomach where Dash punched him before. He growled under his breath, If I didn't focus Nen in that spot, I'd be out cold right now. He stepped forward and cracked the joints in his long arms as he glared at the small boy he was fighting before. Ben glanced back at him but then looked straight ahead at Azula to speak. "This is the one chance we'll give you," Ben called out in a cocky tone. Azula started snarling at him and Ben called out louder, "If you want to run, go for it! If not," he rose up his left fist and clenched it hard, "prepare to get creamed."
"Why should we run?" a voice asked behind him. Ben's eyes opened wide as neither him nor Natsu were paying attention and did not realize someone was this close to them. They started to turn but Natsu's body clenched up next to Ben. Ben was midway through his turn when Natsu tensed up, and the younger kid opened his eyes huge at the sight of a long stinger sticking out of Natsu's side. The stinger was connected to a skinny purple tail coming out of the back of a woman floating in the air behind them. She must have dropped from the sky when they were not looking, and she flapped her wings to keep herself up. Her whole body was purple, she was wearing a blue crop-top and a pair of green shorts, and she had a white mask covering the bottom half of her face.
Mosquito turned her head towards Ben and snickered at the boy's horrified look as he stared at Natsu's impaled side. "Die!" She yelled, and the Chimera Ant's white mask broke. A hole ripped right in the middle of it and a stinger like the one sticking out of Natsu's side propelled at Ben fast. He was still looking at Natsu's side when the attack started coming at him and he panicked as he could not dodge in time. He started thinking about which alien to turn into to save himself, but would have been far too late to save himself. Luckily, there was one other person still on the battlefield who happened to be watching and waiting for the right time to strike at Azula. Superboy came out of hiding early though when Natsu was stabbed, and he slammed a fist into the stinger shooting at Ben, snapping the female ant's stinger with one punch.
She screamed and purple goo which was probably her blood flew out of her mouth. Mosquito released her hold on Natsu, and Conner grabbed the pink haired man who was staggering around where he stood. Conner leapt back and Ben, still in panic, jumped back with him. They increased their distance from the enemy army and Superboy put down Natsu. He turned and punched away the fastest enemies who came charging at them now that they were at a disadvantage, and he shouted, "Natsu's been poisoned. We have to get out of here!"
Ben looked at the Kryptonian and then around at the huge army around him. Run? Run away? The Resistance is losing. All we've heard since we got here is how they keep losing over and over. If we want to be the ones to show them they can really do this, we can't lose our first big fight. "No way," Ben said. He looked down at Natsu who was gasping for breath on the ground and coughing in pain. "Isn't that right Natsu?" Ben asked.
Superboy opened his mouth to shout at his stupidity, but a fist slammed down on the ground and he looked down to see Natsu pushing himself to get back up. His body was trembling and blood came out of his nostrils, but he was pushing himself up nonetheless. Ben smirked and he ducked under a ray beam flying his way, then pointed his right hand the other direction and fired a small ball of white ki towards where the beam came from. The ball exploded and he heard people scream, but he kept looking at Natsu as he did. I said all that, but… "Superboy," Ben began, turning to the teen next to him with a look of realization. "That base Grif dropped, we have antidotes there right?"
Conner Kent's eyes widened and he nodded his head once. "Good," Ben said, then spoke more directly into his headset. "Dash, you hear that? Natsu's been poisoned. Get some medicines and come back-"
"Already here," Dash said as he showed up standing right behind Natsu's kneeling body. He did not have any antidotes on him, and he exclaimed as he moved his head back and forth to dodge beams, "We're too out in the open to give him medicine! I'll get Natsu back to the base, it's safe now." He reached down and hoisted up the poisoned, bloody older boy. "Let's go Natsu," Dash said, and he raced back across the battlefield.
As soon as they were gone, balls of fire came in from every direction. "Now!" Azula shouted, and every one of her fire benders attacked behind the fireballs already surrounding their enemies. More fire pushed into the backs of the first attacks and all the flames condensed on one point around Ben and Conner. She was glad Mosquito took out the man who could eat their flames and now she felt she had their enemies right where she wanted them. "You can't win!" Azula yelled into the flames as she heard two distinct screams coming from inside.
Inside the temporary base, Dash spun his head around nervously as he heard the agonized screams of his best friend in his ear. He looked back up and heard Grif shouting from the roof that there were more enemies heading south to attack them at their base. Dash looked down at Natsu who he administered the antidote to as fast as he could. "Natsu," Dash said, sounding pretty unnerved as he did. The older man lying on his back on the table on the first floor shifted his eyes to the short boy next to him. "We need your help out there. Don't take too long, okay?" Before waiting for a response, Dash turned and vanished out the base's door.
Dash sprinted back across the field and knocked everyone running for their base back to their tank-stopping lines. He kept going but skidded to a stop at the sight of a dome of fire so large it looked like one of Natsu's stronger attacks. More and more fighters for the Fire Nation kept adding flames to the fire, making it bigger and bigger every second. His eyes got watery as he no longer heard Ben's screams in his earpiece or coming from the flames in front of him. "Ben," Dash whispered.
"HEATBLAST!" A voice yelled from inside the flames. All the soldiers went wide-eyed at hearing a voice that did not sound to be in pain coming from inside their combined attack, and then that dome exploded outwards. Dash blinked a few times in shock then smiled wide and pumped a fist in the air. The exploding fireball sent flames in every direction, hitting all the men and women surrounding the two they were trying to burn alive. An alien made of molten rock with glowing eyes that matched the color of his spiky flaming hair looked down into the center of the explosion he just came out of. "Superboy, you alright?" He called down to the man whose shirt was gone and who had some pretty bad burns on his arms that were crossed in front of his chest.
Thought I was a goner there for a second, Conner thought. He lowered his arms and looked up at Ben, nodding at the kid who just saved his life. He snapped his gaze back down and glared at Azula who was snarling as she also thought he was done for there. He bent his legs and charged towards the woman, but out of Azula's feet came two streams of blue fire that propelled her up in the air. She swung her arms around in the air and punched both fists down at the end of her motions, firing large spheres of blue flames at the muscular teen down below. Conner slammed a fist into the first fireball, but it exploded on his hand and he roared at how hot the blue flames were compared to all the others. The second fireball was coming towards him, and he dove to the right to dodge it this time.
The explosion from that second fireball was still going to get Superboy and an alien in the sky knew it. "Got it!" Ben yelled, flying down by shooting flames out of his own feet, and pressing both of his hands into the end of the blue fireball. He yelled out and streams of flames shot out of his glowing red hands that pushed into the fireball and sent it flying back at Azula. Azula bent her knees and leaned back so far that her body was horizontal to the ground a foot below her, so Ben's counterattack shot over her head. She turned and watched them fly off, then spun as her Observational Haki told her the boy was approaching. She saw him coming shrouded in green light, and she wondered what he was going to turn into this time. Her eyes opened wide and Azula doubted she would ever get used to the changes this boy underwent in the matter of seconds.
Ben now had giant blue butterfly wings sticking out of his back, two large antennae that looked like scissors sticking out of the top of his scalp, and a head that looked just like a bug's only with glowing green eyes. His body was a lighter blue than the dark blue wings behind him that were over ten feet tall, he had a green Omnitrix symbol on his chest, and highlighting the light blue color of his body were black areas of skin on his sides, underarms, and backs of his legs. "Big Chill!" Ben shouted.
Dash looked up in the air in awe at his best friend as this was not an alien he had seen him use before. The little kid with blond hair was not under attack, as most of the front lines of the Fire Nation's forces had been routed to a point farther back in their ranks. The four watchtowers closest to the front of the Fire Nation army were either smoldering piles of rubble from the Grif Shot 2.0 or had collapsed when Superboy threw metal beams at them. Tents all around were on fire as were the piles of firewood the Fire Nation had gathered. There were many injured enemies lying all over the ground, most of them unconscious. Some were limping backwards, and Dash could see large groups of enemies setting up a point for them all to gather on farther back in their ranks. The only one still fighting this far forward was Azula, and back in those ranks he saw the Chimera Ants Centipede and the female ant Mosquito who had purple blood surrounding her mouth but still a working poisonous stinger on her tail. Near them he spotted the green-haired man Ben fought originally sporting a bloody nose and black eye, but back up on his feet and pushing away the medic, (who Dash could tell was a medic by the white pack the soldier was holding with a red cross on it), helping him. There was another man at the front of those forces who Ben had not seen yet but looked very dangerous to him, and the figure marched out in front of the forces to show he was not afraid to go past their regroup point.
This man had two flamethrowers strapped to his wrists constantly spewing out flames, but those flames were getting bigger and bigger and started making strange patterns, and Dash doubted the weapons could do that on their own. The man had tight yellow spandex covering his body, red boots and gloves, the pack on his back connecting to his flamethrowers by yellow tubes was also red, and he had on a red jacket that looked to be flameproof too. He had on a red mask that covered his light-skinned face and tall wavy blond hair that swirled around above his head as the wind from his flames pushed it back. "Pyro, get back here!" Yonji yelled at the mutant in their army, a high-ranking soldier who their ally Magneto provided them.
"You gonna let your wife take them on on her own, coward?" Pyro snarled without turning around.
This remark made Yonji's forehead scrunch up and he clenched his teeth angrily. First thing he does when he arrives with forces from the supply line is disobey a direct order! I don't care if he's another Lord's represenative, I'll kill him! He looked up and continued thinking, Azula can handle herself. That boy is pretty strong, but she knows he has a time limit. There's no way… Yonji's eyes opened wide at the sight of the two beams pressing against each other in the air. The beams were different shades of blue, Azula's dark blue flames, and the light blue icy beams shooting out of Big Chill's black palms. The blue backs of Ben's hands glowed brighter blue and he yelled, "AHHH!" The soldiers of the Fire Nation all looked up and saw the icy beam double in size, pushing back Azula's attack and finally reaching her arms, instantly freezing them as she lost the flames that were slowing Ben's attack down.
"Raa!" Azula shouted as her arms froze. She started falling out of the air but turned herself as she did and shot flames towards Ben out of her feet, stopping the boy who was about to give chase. She propelled herself at her army and flew behind the front ranks of soldiers before crashing down. She hit the ground hard and winced in pain, but got back up to her feet and glared at the closest soldiers to her. "Thaw my arms," she growled at them. The soldiers did not hesitate as they saw that insane look that Azula occasionally had in her eyes. They rose their arms and created flames around the ice cubes that were their General's arms.
Yonji glanced back at Azula, then turned and prepared to stop the monster that would be giving chase to her. Big Chill did not follow her though, instead wrapping in green light and staying in midair. Yonji smirked as he saw this and he yelled, "Not this time!" Ben snapped his gaze down and he frowned as he remembered telling Yonji that he needed time before to recover, really just as a taunt because Yonji had given him that time. This time though, Yonji yelled, "Take him down now! Before he can transform again!"
I can transform right now, Ben thought aggravatedly. But he's right. If I transform now, I probably would only have a minute, then lose my ability to transform for a few more. I have to fight for twenty seconds without it. Ten apparently was not enough when I did it last time. He dropped out of the air and saw the lines of Fire Nation soldiers running towards him. The man at the front, who had already been jogging forward when Yonji shouted, pointed his flamethrowers at Ben and fired. He was already releasing a huge amount of flames, but when Pyro actually attacked, those flames shooting out of his flamethrowers increased ten times.
Dash was just about to run forward to help Ben, when Pyro released his flames and even from a hundred meters back he could feel the intense inferno pressing against his skin. He shielded his burning face with one arm and yelled, "Ben! Get back!"
The other boy was blinded by the sudden explosion of flames, and he tried flying backwards as the heat was too intense right in front of him. Superboy stopped running forward as well when he saw all those flames, and he looked behind him with a deep grimace. Natsu, where the Hell are you? Was that poison lethal? The antidote should work for most known poisons, but this Chimera Ant's may have been unknown. If Natsu's done for, then there's no way we'll be able to stop this entire army. Even Dash won't be able to stop them all if they cover the entire place with flames. Conner looked down at his burnt chest and he frowned at the fact that his shirt with the letter 'S' on it was gone. He knew that 'S' did not actually stand for Superboy, or for Superman, but it was the Kryptonian symbol for hope that just happened to look like the English letter 'S.' It also represented the House of El, Superman's house. As he thought about his missing symbol, his eyes widened and he looked back up at the two children backing away from the wall of fire that kept getting bigger as it got closer to them.
"Yeah Captain Pyro!"
"Take them down!"
The soldiers on the other side of the flame wall punched their fists in the air and sent celebratory fireballs into the sky. Others waved around their spears, swords, and rifles while windriders, lion-like creatures with large bat wings sticking out of their furry arms and long spiky purple tails, and their riders did loops in the sky behind the massive wall of fire pushing their enemies back. They waved around their glowing green cannons and their mounts roared as the flames grew even hotter.
Rhinos and Eel Hounds stepped back but their riders did not care. The fat bald men on top of the three-horned rhinos cracked their whips in the air above them. The magnificent feat of power Pyro was showing off made the entire army a lot more confident. Captain Pyro had arrived ten minutes after the battles started, coming back from Sin City with over a dozen trucks full of men and supplies with him. One of the only people not cheering stood twenty feet behind Pyro though. Yonji had a bead of sweat coming down the left side of his face. Why did I have to get married to the woman whose always surrounded by fire? He wiped some sweat off his forehead and then glared less menacingly at Pyro's back, I take back what I said before. I would rather not get into a fight with this mutant, but still… "Pyro!" He shouted up at the man using his flamethrowers to rip apart everything in front of him for fifty meters on either side of his body and just as far forward. The mutant grunted to acknowledge him and Yonji yelled, "If that kid is able to transform again, he might have something that can stop you! So stop showing off and finish them!"
Pyro stopped making such massive attacks of fire and when his fireball went down he could see the two kids still on the other side of his attack with a muscular man farther behind them. "Alright," he growled, opening up the palms of his hands and making all the fire condense into two huge fireballs. He punched his right hand forward first and the massive fireball flew straight towards Ben. The kid sprinted to his right to dodge, but Pyro blew up his attack preeminently, blasting Ben backwards as he was not expecting the sudden explosion. As Ben hit the ground and rolled back, Pyro threw his other fireball forward.
"Ben!" Dash yelled. He turned and sprinted towards Ben who just started staggering back up. Dash barely slowed down as he grabbed Ben and the jolt really hurt Ben's arms as Dash grabbed him and kept running. The older boy did not complain though, as the fireball heading to the spot he was just lying grew three, then four times in size. It exploded where he just was and the flames expanded out fast. Dash dug his feet in as he felt the flames on his back, burning through the black fabric of his clothes that the Resistance gave him because they were supposed to be fire-resistant. He sped up even faster and he and Ben's faces got pressed back by the wind, their cheeks and lips flapping until Dash finally slowed down because the fireball was no longer on them.
The two boys who came to a stop started panting hard, and they heard groaning over the microphones on their heads. At first they thought it was Natsu, but they realized that someone else was a lot closer to that explosion than they were and spun around. They looked back and shouted together, "Superboy!" The explosion of fire was fading and the ground was already Scorched so there was nothing to stay lit, quickly letting the flames extinguish. Lying on his stomach and face was Conner, barely moving though they could hear his voice in their heads.
Pyro looked to his right over at the kids, then turned forward and growled, "I can at least take one of you down." The man lifted up his arms, but in the corner of his vision he saw a bright green light flash.
"You idiot!" Yonji yelled.
Pyro started to turn, but before he was even halfway turned to his right, two figures had appeared in front of him. There was the tall alien that was mostly black with only a few light blue highlights of stripes on its tail, its blue arms, and the blue face once its mask opened up revealing its glowing green eyes. XLR8 had a single white line going up its chest with the Omnitrix symbol in the center of it, and black lines going across its face that wrapped around its green eyes. XLR8 had its right hand pulled back and so did Dash, and the two of them swung forward at the same time, hitting Pyro in either side of his chest and knocking the fire mutant off his feet and flying a hundred feet backwards before hitting the ground and rolling, his pack and flamethrowers breaking apart as he did.
"Captain Pyro!" a soldier yelled, then dropped his jaw as a blond boy's face appeared in front of his own.
"What's happening?!" A man screamed as soldiers around him were getting knocked off their feet every second. Black and blue blurs raced through the Fire Nation's ranks and men went flying in every direction.
Yonji spun around trying to locate an enemy, but even his Observational Haki was much too slow to let him block when he felt the high-speed punch coming for his face. Ben did not just punch the man once, but sent a flurry of punches and kicks into Yonji's chest and face to make sure he did not get back up this time. A tooth flew out of Yonji's mouth and his nose cracked on the next punch. XLR8 had a conflicted look on his face, as beating someone this badly would make him uneasy on its own, but beating someone who looked like a close friend of his, it was even worse. It's not Sanji, he thought, right before spinning a kick at twice the speed of sound into the side of Yonji's head and making the man crash backwards into a dozen of his men, sending them all tumbling through their ranks into a tank that got a large dent in it.
That tank turned its main cannon to the spot Yonji was just in and fired. There were men around it, but the driver could not risk losing sight of the alien again. It fired and a huge fireball exploded on the spot. He looked up from his firing mechanism and gazed over at the flames to see if there was a burning alien inside them. The next second, the top of the tank was open and he lifted his head to see the alien smirking down at him. "Ahh-" Ben grabbed him by the top of his armor and threw him out of the tank, then jumped off as two other tanks turned their cannons towards him and fired at the same time.
Azula looked around as her tanks exploded one by one and her men were getting tossed around like ragdolls. She spun to her right and yelled, "Centipede! Mosquito! Find those boys and-" As she was talking, Mosquito disappeared. Centipede spun to his side in shock as his fellow Chimera Ant vanished. He spun around as did Azula, but when she finished spinning, Centipede was missing too, and there was a boy with short blond hair standing there. Dash put his hands up to his cheeks, pressed his thumbs into them, stuck out his tongue and blew it at her in a taunting way. As soon as he did it, he regretted it. The look on Azula's face scared him and he decided not to mess with her anymore and to just charge her instead. Azula was not waiting for him though. As soon as the kid taunted her, she screamed with an enraged look on her face and crossed her arms in front of her chest, before punching both fists down at the floor.
A circle of blue flames surrounded her and then expanded in every direction. Dash tried stopping his sprint but the flames rose up under him before he could change directions. "AHHH!" Dash screamed in pain as his body surrounded in hot blue fire. The soles of his shoes melted straight through and the bottoms of his feet burned.
Ben spun hearing his friend's scream and he yelled, "Dash!" Out the corner of his eye he saw another tank fireball flying at him and he started running, but he was distracted long enough by Dash's shout that the fireball still exploded close to him and lifted him off the ground. "RAA!" Ben yelled as he lifted up in the air. While he was in the air, two beams of yellow light slammed into him and one of them broke through his black armored body, while the other just exploded and burnt his blue arms and face.
Conner clenched his hands into fists on the floor but he could barely move a muscle. Fight, through the, pain, he thought furiously, slamming a fist down beneath him and getting up. Those kids, saved your life. Now, repay, the favor! He slammed his other fist down and glared up at the flaming circle around Azula that Dash was kneeling in. The boy surrounded himself in an aura to stop the pain, but although new burns were not forming, the burns from the hot blue fire that he already received were not going away and they hurt like crazy. The most sensitive part of his body and his most treasured, his feet, were burnt worst of all. He kept screaming into his microphone and Ben whispered his name in pain as he staggered up to his feet again.
Ben was about to run towards his friend, when his body surrounded in red light and he opened his eyes wide. "No," Ben whispered. A flash of red light transformed him back into a human child, and all of the enemies around him circled in. Tanks pointed their cannons and fire benders lifted their fists. Everyone pointed guns at him and he could still hear Dash's screams in his ears.
"RaaaAAAA!" A voice got louder over their mics and then so loud they could hear it even without them. Azula stopped making her blue flames surround the screaming boy and she spun her head towards the muscular man Pyro never finished off. Conner Kent had gripped his fingers into the ground so hard that the floor cracked, and he was lifting up a huge chunk of black ground above his head. He put it in one hand, stomped forward with his right leg, and chucked the rock as hard as he could at Azula. She opened her eyes wide and spun her hands towards the rock, pointing two fingers at it and releasing a blast of lightning at the rock to blow it into pieces. The lightning collided and the rock exploded, but out from behind the shattering pieces of rock came a man barreling towards her at fifty miles per hour. His face was burned, as were his fists, one of which he was pulling back behind him at that very moment.
"Protect the General!" Some of the higher ranked forces around Ben shouted. They were distracted by their leader's predicament, but some of the troops decided to finish their current task before moving to the next one. They slammed fists forward and flames shot at Ben who was down on one knee, panting hard as he was too tired to stand. Save the Kamehameha for the end my ass. I can't even stand, let alone make an aura. He felt the flames getting closer to him and dove forward to try and avoid them. It barely helped. His black pant-legs supposed to be strong against flames started to burn through and his skin was getting hotter beneath them. He clenched his eyes shut so flames wouldn't get in them and yelled out in agony as the flames covered his head.
Superboy heard Ben's screams, but he had to take out Azula before going to help him. Dash was still down on his hands and knees, covered in burns, so he was not able to turn towards Ben and help despite his urge to do so. Superboy got within ten feet of a panting Azula who covered her hands in flames to try and stop him. Right before the two were about to collide though, the blue flames on Azula's hands leapt off of her hands and towards Superboy without the General doing anything. Superboy's eyes went wide as the flames grew exponentially and then surrounded his body before he could even scream. He tripped while moving fifty miles per hour and dug a trench through the floor while burning blue flames.
Azula turned and a smug look appeared on her face as she spotted Pyro walking towards her. "My flamethrowers are broken, and I can't make my own flames. But yours," he said with a smug look, and the blue flames around Superboy raged even hotter so that Azula herself had to back up. "Those I can use," the mutant said with a smirk.
"Oi, bastards," a low voice growled back behind Pyro. Azula looked over the mutant's head and she spotted a young man with pink hair staggering towards them. There was another man behind him in orange armor, looking nervous but pointing his Grif Shot 2.0 at the enemies, safely from behind Natsu. Grif had no ammo left in his weapon but he felt like pretending there was some was better than holding it up as a knife alone. Natsu was the one who growled, and his pink hair shadowed over his face making his eyes glow red. If his face was not shadowed, the enemy would be able to see how pale his skin was and the two trails of blood coming down from his nostrils, over his mouth, dripping off his chin. Natsu still felt weak, but his heart rate had slowed down from when he was initially stung and he knew the medicine was working, if slowly. "What do you think you're doing?" Natsu growled.
Pyro smirked and he turned around. He rose his arms and the flames all over Superboy rose up above him. Azula glanced down at the burnt-up muscular man and saw him twitching, naked on the ground with singed hair and gross skin all over his body. She looked back and her eyes widened as she saw what Pyro was doing. "Wait!" She shouted at the man who showed up to the battle late. Pyro was not one for listening to her orders though, and he threw the blue flames at Natsu in one massive fireball.
Natsu grinned a second before the flames hit him, and he opened his mouth wide. "You idiot!" Azula shouted at Pyro's back. He glanced back at her and then dropped his jaw as he spotted what Natsu was doing out the corners of his eyes. "He eats flames!" She screamed, and finally all of the spiraling blue fire went down into Natsu's gullet. He grinned and then frowned again as he glared past the two of them. He looked towards the flaming wrecks of a bunch of tanks, along with random fires on tents all around the back of the battlefield because of the soldiers who tried attacking the speedsters and wound up setting their encampment aflame. And he looked at the men attacking his screaming friend on the ground.
The Fire Dragon Slayer opened up his mouth and breathed in even harder than before to suck in the flames from a distance. Everyone looked over towards Ben and watched as the flames surrounding him moved away all at once. The soldiers already running towards Azula to help her, and who were cheering because Pyro returned and took down Superboy, all stared over at Natsu in fear as all of the flames in the entire camp shot towards him and went into his mouth. Natsu gulped, the entire landscape was silent as all the fire had vanished and the Fire Nation soldiers were holding their breath, and then Natsu's body ignited. His flaming aura alone was much bigger than the blue fireball Pyro threw at him a minute ago, much hotter too even though it was red. There were hints of purple flames in the aura, as well as bolts of lightning, while a bright orange glow in the center of his flaming aura coated his body.
"You messed with my comrades," Natsu growled. "And now," he lifted his head up and roared, "I'M ALL FIRED UP!" When he snapped his head up, his enemies could see his face and the dragon scales on his cheeks. He rose up his arms and his Dragon Force spread, covering them in scales too. He kicked off the ground and moved so fast he was at Pyro in a second. He slammed a kick into the mutant's back before Pyro could even try and control Natsu's flames. "Arcosian Fire Dragon's Talon!" He yelled, and Pyro shot away in a blur of red flames back into a tank that exploded as the mutant went in one side, but the men who were behind the tank could see a hole rip in the other side before it blew apart and they spun to watch as Pyro kept flying away.
"YOU INSOLENT WRETCH!" Azula screamed, slamming a fist towards Natsu and punching a ball of fire at him. He turned and sprinted at her, opening his mouth as he did and munching on her fireball without a second thought. Her eyes widened as his aura increased, then Natsu put his arms behind his body and leapt up in the air.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art:" he began in a voice that echoed over the entire landscape. "Planetary Exploding Flame Blade!" He slammed his arms forward in a circular movement and out from them shot giant whips of bright orange flames covered in lightning. They slammed into Azula and exploded on contact. The flames blasted into the ground and made explosions all over the air as they kept going. They swirled around each other like a double helix, constantly exploding and tearing straight through more than half of the remaining tanks in the Fire Nation's arsenal.
Vehicles heading south to reinforce the Fire Nation encampment screeched to a stop at the sight of the massive swirling flames heading their direction. The ground was getting torn apart and their own tanks were getting destroyed. They turned and drove to the sides, but a few of the supply trucks burst into flames and exploded, men diving out of the driver's sides as they did. The remaining Fire Nation trucks did not keep driving towards the camp, as the soldiers in the camp turned around and started sprinting the other way. They were sprinting north, and it made sense to the other truck drivers a few seconds later as out of the sky dropped a woman with singed black hair and shattered armor. Her eyes were rolled back into her head and she slammed into the ground hard with her mouth wide open. One man running by her reached down and touched her neck, feeling for a pulse. The figure faintly felt it and lifted the General up before continuing to sprint north along with the rest of their forces.
A few tanks still in the camp turned their cannons towards Natsu. One Colonel popped the top of it and screamed back at the retreating men, "Do not leave your posts! This battle is not lost yet!"
Many of the soldiers looked back, and all of them stared in terror at the figure now standing on the front of the Colonel's tank. The Colonel himself looked forward and his face covered in sweat, he lost all control over his bladder and wet his armor, and then the pink haired glowing figure on his tank punched down on the front of it and the tank's back lifted up so hard it did three full front flips. The Colonel was thrown from his vehicle, which was likely a good thing as it landed on its top and exploded a second later.
The other tanks all turned around and started driving off as fast as they could. Other Fire Nation soldiers had to dive out of the way as the tanks did not care who they hit as they drove away from Natsu Dragneel. He did not care that they were running though. "I just saw you shooting flames at my injured friend," he growled, and Ben lifted his head up a little from right behind a burning hot Natsu. The Dragon Slayer in Dragon Force was giving off so much power that the ground beneath him was shaking. He lifted up his right hand and opened it up spreading all of his fingers apart so it looked like a claw. "Hidden Fire Form…" Natsu began, bringing that arm back far behind him. His entire aura shot to a single point, all directly on his right hand. It burst so bright that Ben had to look away, and the men and women sprinting away from their encampment glanced back before picking it up to double time.
Natsu brought his arm forward in a slash that seemed to lag because of how much power went into it. "ARCOSIAN FIRE DRAGON'S CRUSHING FLAME!" Flames shot off of his hand in five distinct paths that all turned into one massive flaming claw soaring at the enemies. The soldiers screamed in pain as it hit them and tanks lifted up in the air, flying forward while the steel that made them up started to melt. People's armor cracked and their clothes ripped off, their skin burned and the attack went past them, slamming into every soldier no matter how far away from the camp they had gotten already. The flames kept going all the way to the supply trucks in the very back of the line that finally decided not to make their locations a rendezvous point and instead turned around themselves and started driving back north at full speed. They truly believed there was nowhere for miles that would be safe for them.
Natsu's final attack faded once it reached a few miles away from the Fairy Tail mage. He brought his arm back down to his side, glared out into the distance where soldiers were staggering back up to their feet and limping away, helping their comrades move if they were too injured. He glared around him, and any of the soldiers left behind who were too injured to run away closed their eyes and played dead. Some crawled away if they did not think Natsu was looking towards them, and the fire mage finally lost the scales covering his body. He spat to the right, and a glob of blood came out instead of spit. His eyes were red and his skin went back to being pale, maybe even more so than it was before.
"Hey, Natsu," Ben said, his voice scratchy as he walked towards the man. Natsu looked back and saw Ben's arms and legs, and even parts of his face were burned. The kid lifted up his arms and in them formed a green hilt that extended out into a Keyblade. "Thanks," he said, then added, "Cure!" A small amount of green light shimmered down on Natsu, and then Ben dropped down to his knees, panting hard. The boy had tried getting Riku to teach him more powerful magical attacks with his Keyblade, but Riku would not let him until he had first learned Cure, which he only did he did three days before they split up. The magic drained the rest of his energy though, so he could not keep his arms up and his right arm fell to his side, his Keyblade barely staying in his grip.
"Ben," Natsu began, turning fully to the boy and walking towards him. He did not feel much better with that blast of magic, but the thought was there and he stepped right up to the boy, reaching down and grabbing him by the back of his damaged black shirt. He lifted the kid up and Ben weakly lifted his head to look into Natsu's eyes. Natsu was grinning madly and he said, "Next time, use it on yourself, then get Dash and Super-dork over there." The others could all hear Natsu in their earpieces, and Grif was just glad the man was not blowing out their eardrums like he did screaming all his attacks in the last few minutes. Grif chuckled at the nickname for Superboy, while said burnt-up man on the ground was too unconscious to care. Dash snickered then winced in pain as it still hurt to move his badly burnt body too much. Natsu continued to grin at Ben after he said what he needed to, and he finished, "We did it Ben. We won."
"Haha, ha," Ben chuckled and his lips curled up just like Natsu's. "Of course, we did," the boy said. "We had me after all."
"Hey," Dash mumbled into his mic. "I took out the Chimera Ants, and definitely got more, soldiers than you, ow." He finished with 'ow' as it hurt to say the entire sentence but he could not let Ben get away with taking the credit.
"Yeah, but I, beat Sanji's brother," Ben said with a smirk. He looked to his right and Natsu turned to see a green-haired man lying on his back slumped over another beaten-up figure not far from them. Natsu's eyes opened in surprise as he had no idea that guy was Sanji's brother, though he had to admit there was a strong resemblance.
"Too bad guys," Natsu said smugly. "I'll be taking the credit for this one." The other two would argue, but they were too tired, and Natsu was right after all. They were all down for the count when he showed up. He took out the General, routed their troops, and really saved both of their lives.
"Haha, I don't think so," a fourth voice said, and all three of the others looked back to see Grif walking forward confidently. He lifted his Grif Shot victoriously over his head and said, "If not for me, we never would have-"
"Shut up," Dash, Ben, and Natsu all muttered at the same time. Grif dropped his jaw from inside his helmet, and all three of the others who were still conscious started laughing.
Ben smiled wide as he finished laughing at Grif. He closed his eyes and felt safe as Natsu held him there by the shirt. We actually did it. We came to Aebrith, found and joined the Resistance, and helped them push back the enemies threatening them. We really did it.

Espada-001 chapter 53 . May 20
Well I enjoyed these last two chapters and I had my suspicions about Zuko since the fire nation was still an enemy. I do have something to say though and that's that I noticed Natsu hasn't been feeling his motion sickness in the past two chapters. Heck I'm pretty sure that the elevator would effect his motion sickness. Well that's all I have so until next time have a good day!
Sad to see Zuko gone before he's even introduced, and glad you liked the chapters! Funny you mentioned the Natsu motion sickness thing, 'cause I recently realized I had been forgetting about that XD, which is why there's already a scene later on that I added so it'll make sense, (within another full chapter). Thanks for the review!
Darugus chapter 53 . 15h ago
Nice chapter
Looking forward to the fight with the fire nation
Also I just realized that since brooke is dead his revive revive fruit has been reborn which is probably one of the few ways for revival on nexus but unless juvia ate it and we don't know about that really wouldn't work
Also there are alot of other devil fruits that would have been reborn I wonder if your going to use all of them
Well, here you go! Hope you liked the battle with the Fire Nation! The Revive fruit and all the others could be somewhere around the world, but who knows if anyone will be getting them in this story? Since the second chapter of Nexus we've lost Enel, Brook, Trebol, Doflamingo, and a whole lot of other Devil Fruit users. No spoilers, but at least 3 of them have already been given to other characters sometime in the future chapters I already have written out. :) Thanks for the review!
7lights13darknes chapter 48 . 18h ago
Again i have to leave another review before i catch up. OMG! Who has Timmy captured? This is getting crazy the chapters are getting better and usually i like ling chapters but i don't mine short ones in this case. I like how Gon is such a somewhat more important character i hope he lives but I'm doubting it. I can't wait to see what happens to timmy compared to goku he is not doing well. I'm guessing sora or goku or both are going to save him in the last second deal thing. And i totally called it on timmy being captured. I think that was when i didn't put in my user name still. I actually started watching fairy tale yesterday and it is hilarious i can't wait to watch more. I want lucy to be a main character now she is my favorite. Also where is nastu's pet ( happy right i couldn't tell.) i really need and want to catch up now keep up the good work.
Two reviews in one day that is a recored. The time has come we finally are seeing what team gray is up too. I thought you were going to start from when they left or a couple days after but i like this way too. I like that you added young justice characters and grif the rest i didn't know. I am liking kiari more and more in this story. I will leave this one short and again good job and keep it up
WHY! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME...AGAIN!? WHY JUVIA. know that is out of my system good chapter it my be the darkest one yet. Good fight scenes but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! You better not kill anyone else. Although i am actually glad ben didn't try to go back in time because it would be to easy and too clechi. Keep up the good work you know i haven't even seen juvia in fairy tale yet. I really want to now later juvia killer jk
Wow three reviews in a row! Glad you're all caught up now XD. Who has Timmy? I won't tell ;). Another long chapter this time hitting 17 thousand words (before comments). Most of the protagonists of the main shows in this are pretty main characters (Goku, Luffy, Natsu, Ben, Rin, Kirito, etc.), so Gon follows along with that pattern. Timmy and Goku's paths differed greatly after they split up... and as for the last part of the first review... I think you should read Nexus if you haven't already. You may know why, Lucy, and Happy, aren't, here... Well, on that ominous note I'll say that I'm glad you recognized the Young Justice characters and Grif, (considering those were the most important as they actually came along on the mission) and it's cool you're liking Kairi more because that's a main reason I split her up from the others in her video game as she never really gets her own epic scenes without them (except when she beat up that Sith Lord Xion in Dressrosa XD ). Finally, JUVIA! Oh I'm definitely going to kill someone else, but, you know, that's pretty vague 'cause a lot of people die in this story (like every chapter really)! Haha won't be killing off main characters every chapter, but don't be surprised when it happens... Thanks again everyone for reading, favoriting, following, and for all the reviews! 'Till next time!
