94. Nexus HWR 13-6 Reunited at Last

Nexus HWR 13.6 Reunited at Last:

Inside the Wizard King's castle, in the very middle of the giant building was a control room with walls lined in big computer screens. A small boy with blond hair had been spinning from computer to computer, trying to watch everything at the same time. The Wizard King had left Butters behind to keep an eye on their intruders, but Butters had spent most of the time Cartman was gone watching the screens that showed him what was happening outside.

The Wizard King returned to his control room looking a little winded, and Butters hopped off his chair and ran over to where Cartman floated down through the solid ceiling. "Hey Eric, are you okay?" Butters asked.

"I'm fine, Butters," Cartman snapped back, a little annoyed the other boy did not call him by his title. He had other things on his mind to concern himself with other than that though, but he shook those thoughts away and smiled while turning to the computer screens. "How are our guests doing?"

"Oh, well um," Butters said and started twiddling his thumbs in front of him. "They just finished your trap."

"What?" Cartman snapped. He ran over and looked at the screens showing the inside of the lava room. The group was standing on the opposite side that they came in on, recovering for a few minutes since many of them were exhausted and they did not know what was behind the next door.

"Eric," the staff in Cartman's right hand popped to life in the air above the two kids. They looked up and saw the muscular tan Fairy frowning down at Cartman. He did not flex to show off his muscles this time, he just said in a serious voice, "Perhaps that was enough punishment." Cartman frowned at his fairy, but Juanidissimo continued, "What more must you make them go through? Yes they trespassed, and destroyed the Flood, but you have made them make up for it with two traps now. A trap per infraction is plenty fair."

"That makes sense," Butters said with a shrug of his shoulders, then glanced at Cartman nervously to see if the fatter boy agreed with them.

Cartman started nodding his head and smiled. The others smiled in relief, and Cartman said, "That does sound fair. Too bad they have another infraction," Cartman said, and he turned to glare at the giant monitors behind him while smirking. "They disrespected me in my own castle. Stan, Riku, that woman with orange hair, they showed me no respect." He chuckled and finished, "Until they learn to respect my authoritah, they will keep facing my traps! Besides, you don't want all those wishes I made going to waste, do you?" Cartman asked.

"At this point, I would rather that," Juandissimo said. Cartman glanced over his shoulder and saw the Fairy shaking his head down at him disappointedly.

"Geez, don't get all worked up," Cartman said, waving a hand at the floating man in a white t-shirt pulled tight against his muscles. "It's not like anyone will actually get hurt." Juandissimo hummed at him like he was deciding what to do, but Cartman lifted a hand and pointed at a screen, calling out, "Look. They're going in!" He rubbed his hands together and grinned, "I'm gonna enjoy this one."

"Everyone good?" Gray asked. He stood in front of the black door in the center of the wall across the lava pit they all just traveled over. The final jumps in the path were the hardest ones, but luckily Luffy tested each rock with his stretching arm and found all of the holograms. A few people had told Ben that he had quick thinking earlier when he shouted at them about the holograms, but the boy seemed oddly nervous and thanked them too quickly when they mentioned it. Ben still looked anxious, but those who noticed put the reason on the fact that they were about to enter another trap room in all likelihood.

"Let's do it," Natsu said with a nod at his oldest friend there.

"Yosh! I wonder what's next!" Luffy threw his arms up and started laughing after he called it out.

"Knowing Cartman, it'll only get worse from here," Stan said darkly.

"We'll handle it," Riku assured the kid next to him.

Is Meruem not coming? I'm freaking out here! Maybe he did come, and the Wizard King really is strong enough to push him back. Yeah, yeah that must be it! I forgot how strong a Fairy Godparent's magic can be! It made Timmy into a legend. I had heard of his feats for years, and he told me he used to just be a normal kid! It was all the magic. Ben started breathing calmer, and he wiped his forehead that was sweating from more than just the heat of the lava pool behind him.

"Alright," Gray turned to the door and grabbed its brass knob with his right hand. He twisted and the room echoed with clanking noises as he pulled the door open. After he opened the door, the clanking noises continued only they were coming from up ahead of them in the pitch black room Gray had opened the door to. "Um," Gray began while poking his head into the room. The light of the lava room flooded into the dark room just enough for Gray to know there was definitely a floor in front of him. Clank-clank-clank-clank-clank… The sound of clanking steel continued going in short intervals like gears being turned.

"I don't like this room already," Usopp said while looking around the side of one of his comrades into the darkness ahead of them.

"I got it," Natsu said, smirking as he walked forward and past Gray into the dark room. Luffy walked in right behind him and then stepped on Natsu's side while the Fairy Tail mage erupted in flames. Luffy leaned away a little, but Natsu's fiery aura shortened to a thin veil around his body. Despite his flames getting closer to him though, his body glowed brighter than it did with normal flames. His aura turned a lightish orange color, and he let out a deep breath before that aura turned even brighter and got an even lighter shade of orange. The orange was getting very close to white, but Natsu gasped and started breathing heavier after it lightened some more. Can't do it, that easily, he thought to himself, before relaxing and letting the color get a little darker, though the aura was still bright enough to cover a hundred and fifty feet in all directions of the fiery mage.

"It's like we have our own personal flashlight," Sanji remarked as he walked into the room between some others. Natsu turned his head and frowned back at the chef who held up his hands like he didn't mean anything by it.

The others all walked into the room, and just like the one before it the doors slammed shut once the last of them was inside. The slamming door would not have been as bad, if the constant clanking sound did not cut off the moment the door shut. The room fell silent, and Natsu's bright aura did little to ease their nerves. His aura cast light on the wall on the sides of where the door should have been, (though it had vanished), but that wall was as black as the rest of the room. The floor was dark, and Natsu's aura did not flood all the way to wherever the walls were on their sides, or wherever the opposite side of the room was.

"Guess we should, start moving forward?" Rin started, breaking the eerie silence that had filled the room.

Natsu started moving, and that was the sign for everyone else to move too. Luffy walked on his left side, but the rest of the group was following behind the Dragon Slayer. His aura was bright enough that they did not need to huddle, but everyone was staying close to avoid getting lost in the darkness. There was no instant threat. No rising water, no lava, but this was the worst trap so far. The unknown was messing with their heads. They walked far enough that the wall behind them no longer had any light cast on it, so they would be surrounded on all sides by darkness if Natsu was not illuminating the room.

"What do you do when someone doesn't have a light?" Stan shouted up, breaking another silence that had formed. "Do you just make them walk through the dark until they find an exit?!"

Cartman frowned deeper while looking at the huge flat-screen showing his old friend Stan on it. No one else has used these traps, smartass, Cartman thought in annoyance. He still grinned even though he decided against calling that insult down at Stan. My voice would be a relief to them right now. He could see fear on their faces, and that fear of the unknown made him not want to say a thing, to leave them getting more anxious.

Sanji bit down and decided against pulling out his cigarettes. I've been chain-smoking all day. I'm going to run out before we get back at this pace. His hand tapped on the lump in his pocket, then he moved it away to avoid the temptation.

This is bad, Riku thought. We have no idea where we're going. I can't see far enough in any direction to know what this trap really is. I could use the Heartless. Send some out, actually, I could make them appear all over this castle. Scouts could tell me where Timmy really is, but, Riku turned his head and gazed over at his friends all walking forward on his right side. He looked at Usopp, then at Sanji who he felt like he just redeemed himself to back in the first trap. Going back to using the Heartless now, in front of them… wait, no. I don't care, about what other people think. What if they're right though? They are right, and I shouldn't use the Heartless. It should only be a last case scenario, not the way I've been using them up until now- whenever it's convenient. Right now, we aren't in any real danger. I won't be that impatient.

"What was that?" Luffy said suddenly, pointing his finger to the left of where he was walking.

Natsu turned that way, and he tried brightening up a little bit. He managed to shed some more light in the direction Luffy was pointing, but there was nothing there. Natsu let out a deep breath, then turned to Luffy and grumbled, "You're seeing things."

"Hey Natsu," Gray began from behind the two of them. "You mind brightening back up?"

Natsu glanced back, and he saw all his friends getting closer to him. He glanced to the sides and saw that the radius of his illuminated area had shrunk in a little. "Maybe it's not me, but this room," Natsu said. "Maybe it's got like, light-draining properties or something."

"Or maybe the flashlight's batteries are dying," Stan said, making a tick mark form on Natsu's forehead, though Sanji had to turn away to hide his smirk.

"Natsu, it's okay if you're tired," Riku said. "We don't need that much light if we just stick closer together."

"But we won't be able to see as far away either," Usopp said nervously. "So something might get close to us…"

"Let's keep walking then," Nami said, and she hurried up on the right side of the pack to Natsu's other side as Luffy. "Before Natsu runs out of fire, let's find the next door." Nami turned left as she said that, then she looked back forward and continued walking. The rest of the group took a couple steps to follow her, then Nami stopped cold while facing ahead. Her head slowly turned to the right, and she whispered in the silent room, "Did anyone see that?"

"What was it?" Riku asked, lifting his hands and forming Keyblades in both of them.

Natsu shone some light that way, but there was nothing there again. This time though, he did not say anything to the person who thought they saw something. Instead, he started to feel like Luffy might have actually seen something the first time.

"It looked like," Nami began softly, turning back to her friends while taking short breaths. "It looked like a leg."

"A human leg?" Usopp asked hopefully.

Nami shook her head. "It was long, and black, and it was a thin, single appendage. I thought I saw it, but it pulled away farther into the darkness just out of my peripheral vision."

"That sounds like a spider leg," Kuro said in his high-pitched voice. The cat gulped, then added, "Are you sure, it looked like that?" The others all looked inwards towards the center of the group. Rin glanced down at his familiar in confusion as to why the cat sounded so hesitant as it asked that question. Nami nodded at the small black cat, and Kuro transformed into his much larger form so it was now the largest member in their group. Stan stumbled backwards as the cat transformed, then he froze and his surprised face became serious as the cat whispered in its same voice that no longer matched its body, "Because I thought I saw a tentacle."

"Huh?" Rin's eyebrows lifted up. "Why didn't you say-"

"I blinked and it was gone, so I thought…" Kuro whispered, but he did not finish.

"So let's assume there really are things in here," Gray said in a quiet voice. "They haven't attacked us yet, so maybe they aren't, trying to kill us?" He did not know where he was going with the start of his sentence, but he did not sound very sure of himself by the end of it.

"Is everyone ready?" Riku asked. The others looked towards the man who lifted up his Keyblades to point above him. "Because here we go," he said, and the tips of his Keyblades lit up with yellow light.

Stan lifted his lightsaber and the red blade extended out of it. He held it on the right side of his body in both hands with the light blade sticking straight up. Sanji heated up a leg and lifted it, Franky rose his left arm and twisted his hand off to reveal the cannon he was ready to fire. Nami wished she still had her Clima Tact, but the weapon had been broken and lost during the fight with the Spriggans. All she could do was stand as close to the center of her group of friends as possible so as not to be a burden to them in the fight. Usopp lifted his slingshot and aimed in front of him where he heard a scraping noise across the black concrete floor they were all standing on. Something moved ahead of him, a shadow shifting in the shadows. His slingshot lowered down a little because when he caught a glimpse of that movement, he saw movement from the floor to all the way at the top of his vision.

"Oh crap," Gray muttered, and he took a step back right as Riku fired the two spheres of white light into the air above and in front of them. The flares of light filled the room brighter than Natsu's aura did on their arc up in the air, and that light illuminated a creature standing right in front of them, just outside of what had been their field of vision. Every member of the group stepped back except for Luffy who just bit down hard and punched his right fist to the side, turning his skin red and making steam come off of it.

The monster in front of them stood over sixty feet tall, and more than half that wide at the shoulders. It had a disgusting face with a huge mouth full of sharp teeth that were twisted and had gaps between them. On its right side was a huge and muscular arm covered in brown fur, while on the other side there was a three-pronged talon sticking out of a longer, thinner arm. There was a giant white feathered-wing sticking out the left side of its back, and a black one that looked more like a bat's than an angel's sticking out the other side. It had a long sharp horn sticking out of its forehead, sparkling and shiny which did not match the gross bumpy skin at its base. The group staring at this monstrous hybrid glanced to their sides too as Riku's flares illuminated more of this monster curving around them. Out of the beast's back were long pink tentacles that looked like those of a giant squid, while on the sides of its muscular hairy legs, there were ten long black legs like a spider's bent out and tensing on the ground pointed backwards as if it were ready to charge. A long green tail stuck out the back of the beast and split halfway down, one part getting much thinner and extending longer, while the other changed color to white and furry and stopped shortly after the split.

"Meet Fluffy," Cartman's voice finally said while the people in his trap gawked at the monster in front of them. The Wizard King did not laugh after saying it, and even the people who thought it was a ridiculous name could not find it in them to crack smiles. "Fluffy," Cartman continued, speaking directly to the monster now. "Cancel Horror Movie Mode, enact Murder Protocol."

Fluffy's three big eyes started glowing dark red, right as Riku's flares started falling out of the air. The light in the room dimmed, as all the tentacles curling around their sides cut in, and the spider legs ran forward, and the monster opened its mouth and shot out a long slimy tongue that Riku jumped up and smacked away with a Keyblade when he saw who it was going for. He knocked the tongue away, only for one of the tentacles to swing in and slam into his side, sending him far off into the darkness of the room. He flipped after hitting the ground once, but as he was about to stop his own momentum, he slammed back-first into the wall that he did not see coming. Riku grit his teeth and glared back towards the part of the room where he could see his friends fighting against the monster. The light around them was dim, as Natsu had to focus more on attacking and defending himself than on keeping the area lit up.

Riku was running back towards the group, when the monster's long green tail wrapped around Natsu's stomach and threw the Dragon Slayer into the distance. Not good, Riku thought, as he had to look closer now to see where the others were. Franky's shots, Sanji's leg, and Stan's lightsaber were all he really had to find them. Then again though, their shouts and screams were easy enough to follow.

"Cartman!" Stan yelled as he swung left and sliced a tentacle curving towards him. He flipped backwards to avoid the big furry foot slamming down for him, and he sliced across the front of his body to cut across the similarly hairy hand punching his way. Stan had his eyes closed, relying on the Force for guidance as he could not rely on his eyes in the dim fight. "What is this thing?! Why are you making us fight it?"

"Fluffy is awesome, Stan," the Wizard King replied. "I wished for a mix of a bunch of different powerful things. Mega-Croc, Giant Octopus, King Kong, Unicorn, Alpha Dragon, this giant wolf thing I saw once, Decepticon, Rancor…"

Luffy's eyes snapped open. He had been relying on sound with his eyes closed. It was tough to sense anything coming without use of his Haki, but he was fast enough with Gear Second to be able to avoid every attack as long as he knew it was coming. When Cartman said that last word though, Luffy realized why the monster's face looked familiar to him. "Rancor?" Luffy asked loudly, interrupting Cartman as he was about to continue his list. Luffy jumped up and started punching his fists forward fast, covering them in Haki to use a Hawk Gattling Gun. As he pushed his strength into every punch into the giant monster's chest, stomach, and face, he yelled out, "Timmy and I fought a monster that he called a Rancor in one of the Underworld bases we attacked together!"

The others panicking and screaming behind the pirate captain spun back with wide eyes at Luffy's shout. The monster Luffy was punching was sliding back across the floor with each hit Luffy smashed into it, but it was barely budging. Franky's expression hardened and cleared of fear, and he rose his hands together in front of him and made a glowing light form between his fingers that he fired at the monster's face for a huge white explosion that illuminated the room again. Riku flew in with that blinding light, and he slammed into the monster's chest right as Luffy was falling back down and stopping his attack. The teenager with silver hair spun around and around, hitting the monster over and over with his Keyblades and making it skid even farther back than when Luffy was doing it.

"It's no use! The dragon scales under Fluffy's skin are too much for you to damage!" Cartman called out in a taunting voice.

"Then it's a good thing, I'm a Dragon Slayer!" Natsu roared, while flying off the ground in a stream of flames. He snapped his arms down to his sides and pushed his head forward while flying like a rocket at the monster's body where Riku was dropping from, "Fire Dragon's… SWORD HORN!" Natsu headbutted the beast and heard cracking sounds all around where his head smashed into. His own skull did not feel in that much pain, so he grinned knowing it was Fluffy's body that was cracking. Natsu pushed off backwards to avoid the talons that Fluffy swiped in at him, but then the green tail that tossed him away before whipped down over him and slammed him into the floor near his friends.

"Stay lit Natsu," Nami told the man whose light was fading in front of her. "We have to finish it off now."

"Giant Rasengan!" Kirito called out from behind the monster's back. He leapt up and slammed the attack of swirling blue chakra down, but the tip of Fluffy's horn shone bright and Kirito lost control of the chakra he was holding. The powerful attack exploded prematurely and Kirito screamed out in pain as it enveloped his arm and then his whole body. "Kirito!" Riku swung his Keyblades to surround the burning younger man in green light, but two black legs curled in and pincered Riku by his chest. The spider legs lifted him off the ground, then the bat wing swept in front of Fluffy's body and smacked Riku into the distance. It would have used a hand, but both of its arms were occupied swinging in front of its body to block the slash of blue flames that came at it.

"Thanks Rin!" Natsu shouted as he rose over the arms occupied by blocking the half-demon's attack. He brought his right fist back and covered it in even more flames and lightning as well this time as he prepared to attack the same spot he hit last time. "Lightning Fire Dragon's-" Natsu's flaming fist illuminated the part of Fluffy's body that he headbutted before, and Natsu's eyes bugged out as he watched the cracked scales sticking through the thin outer layer of fur suddenly pull back together and harden with a steel outer coating.

The steel coating spread from that point to surround the entire monster's body in a matter of a single second, and Cartman remarked as they all stared at it in shock, "I did say it was part Decepticon. Guess Fluffy, deceived you?" The pun was so bad it made some of them cringe, though Natsu actually yelled out because of the big metal tentacle that slammed into his side before he reached the monster's chest. Out of the glowing red eyes on Fluffy's head that had been covered by a steel casing as well, three red beams shot down into the floor and started carving around after the fighters who fled or dodged in panic.

"Riku! Robin's been hit!"

"Gray-sama needs help too!"

"I'm all out of healing magic!" Riku yelled over as he helped Kirito up to his feet after another burst. "Ben, do you-"

"AGH-" Ben flew through the air over Riku's head and into the darkness far away from the monster.

"Ben!" Riku called after him. He would have gone for his younger friend, but all the screams of the others still facing the monster made Riku spin his head back to it with anger strewn all over his face. This is no time to hold back! Riku's body surrounded in darkness, and Kirito turned to the man next to him before stepping back as monsters started rising from the floor around him. Two large black hands reached out of the floor behind Fluffy, grabbing it by one of its tentacles and by its tail. The monster turned its head sideways, and the red beams coming out of its eyes cut across the rising Darkside's wrists, slicing them off in a single go. Riku's eyes shot open wide, then Fluffy opened its mouth while looking down at the head of the rising monster.

A bright purple light formed in the back of the monster's throat, and it fired out a beam between its sharp and messed-up teeth. A dome of purple light erupted on the ground behind Fluffy so powerful that Riku and Kirito were lifted off the ground and thrown backwards, while the Heartless creations Riku was trying to make were ripped apart.

Luffy spun from one injured comrade to another, and he bit down hard but spun back to Fluffy with a pissed-off look in his eyes. I was saving this for when we finally met up with the bastard who took Timmy. Fluffy's red eyes darted to Luffy right as his left forearm turned pitch black. Luffy's eyes widened as the monster seemed to foresee what he was about to do, and he leapt backwards to avoid it, only for a tentacle already curved behind him to snap up and grab him around the neck. It squeezed, and Luffy had to bring his arms up to the tentacle instead to try and rip it off him.

"It's too strong!" Kuro yelled out, right before getting hit by a steel tentacle and thrown across the floor.

"Kuro!" Rin called out, and the distraction was all the beast needed to aim another explosive attack at the boy covered in blue flames. "Ahh!" Rin yelled out from inside the purple dome of energy.

"Almost out of cola!"

"Out of mana!"

"Riku! Ben! Anyone have healing magic?!"

"Luffy!" Nami screamed up for her captain whose face was turning white after already going blue and then purple.

"Natsu!" Gray called forward as he stumbled towards his best friend, blood drenching his back from a previous attack never healed. Juvia was yelling for others to come help Gray, but Riku and Ben were far in the darkness behind Fluffy.

"ANYONE!"

A flash of golden light filled the room. The walls on either side became visible at the same time for the first time since they entered. The wall all the way back where they entered from, as well as the giant steel gate that was risen on the opposite wall that Fluffy had been caged inside of.

Another power? Robin thought, squinting and putting an arm in front of her eyes to try and lessen the brightness. Her eyes squinted hard and then they started to widen as she saw a silhouette floating in the air before her. The figure was in the center of the bright golden light, in between her and the monster that had broken her leg with a swing of its tentacle a minute ago. She had all her weight pressing on her other leg as she sat on the ground, trying to keep her arms crossed to help out her other injured friends who needed to get away from Fluffy. Nico Robin's arms lowered down to her sides though as she stared forward in shock, at the sight of the man whose visage became clearer the longer she stared into the golden light. It can't be-

Natsu groaned on his stomach, then lifted his head slowly and looked straight up above him at the source of the golden light enveloping him. The shadowed figure inside the golden light looked down towards him, and Natsu's eyes bulged at the shape of the shadow's head, and the all-too-recognizable spike sticking off the top of it. The man lifted his head back up after looking at Natsu, and he turned his body sideways and clenched his right fist hard at his side.

What's going on?! Cartman thought in panic, leaning closer to the video screens that were showing his usually dark trap room so full of light. Juandissimo and Butters leaned in on his sides, their eyes as wide as the Wizard King's.

Ben staggered forward in the suddenly illuminated end of the room so far from Fluffy's back. He looked towards that glowing gold light but could not see the source of it as the one inside it was floating in front of Fluffy's chest. A flash of green surrounded Ben and the boy stopped limping, looking down at his body with growing eyes as he saw his wounds fading. He lifted his eyes back up, but Riku was between him and the monster that had leaned back when the bright golden light appeared before it. Riku had his hands lifted and was staring at them in shock. If not Riku, Ben thought, trying to wrap his mind around what was happening, then, who?

Luffy gasped for air as the tentacle around his neck unwrapped and pulled away. Luffy's clenched eyes squinted open as he gasped out a breath, and he saw someone in the air right next to him, shadowed over by the golden light behind him. The figure had his arms extended to either side, weapons in both hands, weapons with an all too unique design. The shape of his spiky hair, the weapons in his hands, Luffy's gasp in of breath got even bigger and his jaw continued dropping.

Robin turned to her right leg and gasped out a breath of disbelief as she tried putting some weight on it. There's no pain, she thought.

Green light washed over every person in the room in the same moment that the man in the center of the golden light flew forward. "You hurt my friends," the man said as he punched forward. His voice echoed through the room, and every person there recognized it. Fluffy swung its arms, its wings, and curled all of its tentacles in towards the spot the man was flying. He spun around five tentacles right through the one space they had left open, then he rose just the smallest amount over the furry arm that had come inches from slamming into him. His fist punched forward, sliding across the top of the furry arm passing beneath him before slamming into the steel-coated chest of the monster.

The metal coating around Fluffy's chest shattered, and the fist pushed through the skin and flesh beneath like butter. The fist paused against the hard dragon scales beneath, and the man punching into it yelled out, "HAA!" He finished punching into the monster and curled his fist up once he did, punching upwards and tearing through the front of its body while it lifted off the ground and started falling backwards, its tongue sticking out of its mouth while letting out a strangled yelp.

Fluffy fell backwards and landed with a loud metallic clank against the ground, (as its back was still covered in steel). The glowing golden man who took down the beast stopped glowing as bright, or the others' eyes had just had enough time to adjust to it now. Such a bright, warm light appearing in their room full of darkness caused every one of them to get blinded for a few seconds. At this point though, all of the group members were back on their feet without any injuries, and they all stared up into the center of the room where a man with a spike of golden hair floated before them.

As the golden glow started to get smaller from the man descending to the ground level, a figure landed before him and pointed his two weapons up in the air. Dozens of small white lights shot out of the Keyblades into the air above them, covering the roof of the room and floating around the air in every direction. The golden glow around the older, and more muscular, warrior faded away. His hair turned to black and returned to a different spiky style that made every person there smile. He smiled as he landed next to the brown haired teen who just illuminated the room so he no longer had to, and he lifted a hand that he did a little wave with. "Hey. We're back."

"Goku!" Ben shouted. His lip quivered after he yelled it, and the tall muscular Saiyan man turned his way. Goku looked down at the boy running towards him around the side of Fluffy's body, and he smiled at the kid whose lips and eyes were trembling. Ben opened his mouth to yell something. He wanted to shout at Goku for leaving them, for not being there for Nox, or Pyraxas, or when they faced the Spriggan 12. Those words would not come out of his mouth though. He's, alive, Ben thought with watery eyes.

He had been so angry at Goku since Nox, and he had added to that anger with every little thing that went wrong. Juvia's death, Kairi's kidnapping, him losing his Omnitrix and being crucified, every time he thought about why Goku was not there to save them. Every time, he told himself that Goku was being selfish and letting these bad things happen, but in the back of Ben's mind he was always terrified that there was a different reason. He thought Goku would always save them, so he was scared that Goku had died long ago, but never let himself think too hard on it, always just getting angry when he thought of the man instead. It was easier to think he abandoned them, than imagining anything worse. Ben came to a stop right in front of the man who looked down at him in surprise at the look of frustrated relief on his face and the tears in his eyes.

"GOKU! SORA!" All the others getting over their shock started running in towards the two. More of them opened their eyes in shock as they got closer, because there was another person there who they did not see before while they were all looking up and at the two who suddenly saved them. "DASH?!" The little blond boy looked around and the corners of his lips lifted just a small amount at the sight of his friends running towards him.

"Sora," Riku began, and the spiky-haired teen who just appeared turned to the taller boy with longer silver hair falling down his back. Riku approached Sora in a hesitant manner, but he knew this had to be done immediately. Sora frowned at the look Riku was showing him, and he reached a hand forward and put it on his best friend's shoulder before Riku could say another word.

Riku snapped his bowed head up in surprise, to see Sora staring straight into his eyes with flat lips and a serious expression. All the others who were shouting their friends names excitedly and about to reunite with them froze at that look. Sora could see all their expressions, not just Riku's. "I know," Sora said, and he squeezed tighter on Riku's shoulder. "And though you shouldn't have let her get taken, we're going to get her back."

"How, did you know?" Riku asked.

Dash looked up at the brown-haired Keybearer next to him in a confused way just like Riku. "I saw Gohan's Nobody at the Saiyan Mountains," Sora replied. "He told me how he had taken Kairi, to try and lure me into a trap set by the Organization."

"So you knew?" Dash whispered, as he had not had the time to bring it up to Sora yet. He had thought of it after waking up in Heaven, but he couldn't bring himself to telling Sora about what had happened.

"Yeah," Sora said, looking down at the boy whose expression seemed so sad.

"Dash," Riku started, looking down at his young friend next to him. "Where did you run off to? We were all at that Resistance base you brought Killua-"

"Did he wake up?" Dash asked, and he looked around with his sad eyes at the people gathering around him. "No," he realized as Killua was not one of those around him.

Ben walked over to the kid who sounded so sad with that 'no.' "It's okay Dash, he's going to get up," Ben assured him. He smiled wide at the kid who he was glad to see again after so long. He had so much he needed to tell Dash about since their first encounter with the Spriggan 12.

Dash nodded at Ben's sentiment and looked back into his eyes with such a soft look that confused Ben considering the boy's smile. "Hey, is everything-"

"Son Goku!" A voice shouted that echoed through the castle and interrupted the people reuniting with their friends. "And, Sora?!"

"Is that you, Wizard King?" Sora asked, a slight smile coming to his face.

The others all looked at Sora in confusion after he asked that. "Sora, the Wizard King kidnapped Timmy," Nami explained the situation him.

Sora spun to her in surprise, then Stan added, "It's true. He's using Timmy for…" When Sora and Goku turned towards Stan, he froze at the looks of the two of them. "I'm Stan, by the way," he mentioned in a quieter voice.

"Nice lightsaber," Sora said, while looking up and down the red weapon in a little confusion.

Goku was staring at the weapon in surprise, but then he smiled at Stan too and introduced himself.

Sora would have done the same, but he snapped his head up instead and called out, "Wizard King, you can't do this!" Sora lifted his arms above his head and a flash of gold light made his Kingdom Keyblade appear in his grasp. "Although you once helped me, Timmy is a friend of mine. You can't just do with him what you please!"

"I, I can do anything," the Wizard King's voice got cut off for some reason on the other side of the magical intercom.

They waited a few seconds, but he was not continuing his hesitant shout down at them. Luffy turned to Sora and asked while they were waiting, "How'd he help you?"

Sora smiled again as he thought back on it. "We helped him out, so he teleported me and Kairi across the world. I asked to get to Riku, but he said I was not 'respectful' enough in my request and had to ask again. I tried again and he still didn't like it, but when Kairi asked he finally said okay. Then he told us that because it took three tries he was going to teleport us 'close,' which somehow meant probably a hundred miles or something away from you guys."

"By the time we found you, you two had built an entire town," Usopp said in surprise.

"Yeah, but we had only gotten to Awul a week or so before that," Sora explained.

Ben lowered his bottom lip, Luffy nodded like that sounded about right, and Riku sighed wondering why he had never asked about that. Gray stepped towards Sora though with a confused look on his face, "Wait, so you were in Aebrith before? For how long?"

"Just a couple months, not even," Sora said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I didn't recognize any of the stuff you were talking about whenever you brought it up; it wasn't even called Aebrith back then, so I figured the place must have changed a lot since I was here last. And it really has," he added.

"Hold on!" Rin exclaimed. The others all looked towards the half demon with messy black hair, wondering what he was so frantic about with that shout. "Is this okay? I mean, is no one else like…" he glanced around, then back at the three in the middle of the group. "How did you get here?! Where did you come from?!"

The most obvious questions seemed to have gone right over the rest of their heads, and they all spun back to Goku, Sora, and Dash as those questions suddenly made them realize how confusing this was. Sora began, "Well, we just escaped from the war in the north, at the Saiyan Mountains."

"I knew you were there," Riku said, shaking his head at his own disbelief. He had tried convincing himself that Sora had not been there, but of course he would be. "Wait a second, that was two days ago," Riku said.

"Was it?" Sora asked in surprise.

Dash and Goku both opened their eyes wider too at the sound of that. The others looked at them in confusion, and then Sora said, "Time passes differently in Heaven, so-"

"What?" Sanji asked in a deadpan voice, his swirly eyebrow lifting up like he figured he was hearing things.

"Uh, nevermind," Sora said with a laugh, waving Sanji off and shaking his head. It would have been more reassuring to any of them if Sora had just given a different explanation or said it was a joke, but by dodging it like that, he only made all of them want to hear that much more about it.

"And where were you, Dash?" Ben asked his younger best friend.

Dash turned to Ben with a dark look flashing over his face, his body shivering as his mouth twisted into a frown. The others who could see Dash's face when he turned to Ben stared at the boy in shock at that look on his face. It was an expression none of them had seen on the boy's face before. "Dash," Sora began in a quiet voice.

"I was in the War too," Dash said. He turned to Sora and Goku who looked at the boy as if asking, 'Are you sure?' The look in Dash's eyes told them not to say anything though, and then Dash turned back to Ben and said, "It was horrible."

Sora nodded along. He did not know how much Dash remembered. The boy was either in an enraged state or unconscious for most of the war that Sora saw him in. He wondered if Dash recalled what was happening when he took on Meruem in that enraged state, then he imagined what the kid saw before it that could have made him get that way. Sora remembered what he saw in the war though. He recalled sprinting up the side of a mountain, fighters battling on all sides of him, killing each other. He saw Great Apes falling out of the air in his path, Saiyans and their enemies all turning on him while he was low on strength. Sora thought about staring into the Ant King's eyes when he told them he was going to kill them.

"The whole world was shaking," Franky said while looking at Sora with an uneasy look. Sora was always smiling. He was the most cheerful person who traveled with them to Aebrith, besides Kairi maybe. The look on his face though, it was full of intensity, fear, shock. For Sora, it had only been a few hours since one of the most exhausting and terrifying days of his life. Heaven was a relaxing break, but they really only spent an hour up there before returning to the surface of Nexus, even if it was much longer for everyone on the planet.

"Sora, are you alright?" Luffy asked.

Sora snapped out of his intense state and shook his head around like he just remembered where he was. I'm not there anymore, Sora reminded himself. "Oh yeah, I'm fine," Sora said and smiled at Luffy to show he meant it. "Now let's get Timmy back. How exactly is the Wizard King using him?"

"He brainwashed him!" Nami exclaimed, not liking how calmly Sora just asked that question, with a smile on his face no less. "Timmy came to the Resistance base we were at and threatened to destroy it, but it wasn't him talking!"

"Hmm," Sora hummed, while Goku lifted his eyebrows in surprise that someone had brainwashed Timmy.

"This could be fun," Goku said. Nami spun to him with an angry look, but Goku kept smiling, oblivious to her feelings. He turned to Sora and Kirito who were on the same side of him, and he said, "Remember when we attacked Lelouch's base? I got brainwashed there and had to fight Timmy, so this is like the other way around. Haha," he laughed at the turnaround, while Kirito sweatdropped at his carefree attitude. Kirito cracked a smile after a second though when he saw Sora smiling already. Everything's so serious when they're not around. With them here, I don't feel like there's a reason to worry anymore.

Nami was trying to stay angry with Goku for treating this like a funny turn of events, but she was feeling the same way as Kirito. "Goku," Nami began in a quiet voice. He turned towards her and saw the woman walking his way. She walked right up in front of him, then looked up seriously into his eyes and said, "Save Timmy. He, he's trapped."

"Of course I will Nami," Goku replied. He looked up and called out, "Wizard King?" He heard the others call the deep voice which had called out his name earlier by that name. "You want to fight?" Goku asked.

"Hold on Goku," Sora said, putting a hand on the larger man's right shoulder and giving him a smirk when the older man looked at him. "I have a better idea."

Sora cleared his throat and coughed into his hand a few times, then he clasped his hands together in front of his chest and called up to the ceiling, "Oh mighty Wizard King!" Sora's friends mostly gawked at him, though Robin lifted her eyebrows in an interested way. The current approach does not seem to be working, Robin thought, realizing it was worth it to give this a shot. Sora interlocked his fingers and shouted, "Could I humbly request an audience of you, oh mighty one?"

"You already called me mighty," the Wizard King's voice snapped back.

"Because that's how mighty you are!" Sora exclaimed without hesitating. "Only saying it once would not do you justice!" Come on Cartman, doesn't this get you out of this situation? Do this, and you can make fun of them all you like. Imagine the looks on their faces when all they had to do was ask nicely.

"Sora, what are you doing?" Luffy asked his friend in a confused voice.

"Yeah, that's never going to work," Natsu agreed.

"The kid's too selfish for that-" Nami started to add on, and then a white flash surrounded the entire group. "Oh you have to be kidding-" Nami got cut off as the flash got really bright then vanished all at once. She opened her eyes up, and she stared forward with a dropped jaw at the throne up ahead of her where a short fat kid was sitting. He had a golden crown on his head, a purple fur coat over his body, and he held a golden rod in his right hand with a giant ruby on the top of it that made Nami's jaw drop even farther.

"Since you requested an audience so humbly, I suppose I may be willing to hear you out," the Wizard King said.

On the left side of his throne was a small boy wearing an aluminum foil helmet around his head and a similarly made cape on his back. His outfit looked oddly similar to someone they had seen before, and Stan muttered, "What happened to your body, Butters?"

Kirito's eyes narrowed at the kid next to the throne who he suddenly realized was the same one who attacked him in the sky north of the Wizard King's castle. "Oh," Butters said, "well I only need Professor Chaos's powers when there are intruders! The rest of the time its same old me!" The little boy's big smile and cheerful tone made some of the others forget about how he attacked them earlier that day. "And hey Sora!" Butters said and waved at the teenager who smiled and waved back at him. "Long time no-"

"Quiet Butters!" Cartman snapped, and Butters shut his mouth fast as he realized he was talking too much. The Wizard King had a tick mark on the side of his face, but he regained his Kingly disposition and leaned backwards in his throne. "Now, I shall hear out your- oh you have to be kidding me. Really?" Cartman asked as Natsu and Luffy started marching forwards. "I really will kill you," Cartman warned, and he lifted up his right hand that he pointed their way with his fingers in the shape of a gun. "Wouldn't even be hard," he added, lifting his pitch as if suggesting they try it.

"Cartman!" Stan shouted.

The fat boy sitting on the throne turned to Stan and saw his old friend shaking a head at him in such an angry way. "Geez Stan," Cartman said, lowering his finger at the sight of the other kid's look. "It's not like anything could actually kill you for real in here." Natsu and Luffy froze, though both had already hesitated when Cartman pointed that finger at them. Everyone got confused looks on their faces, and Cartman looked semi-annoyed that he had to explain at all. "There's an anti-death-field throughout my castle. If any of you had died, you would have just popped up in the Respawn Point." He waved his right arm and the wall on the right side of the long throne room opened up. Behind the wall was a giant cage made of steel bars, and the Wizard King continued while they looked at it, "I had this whole game set up. Every time someone died, the traps would get harder and harder. If you died, you'd be stuck in the cage, unbreakable by the way, until the end of the game- though I was going to let you all keep watching like we were!" The Wizard King sighed, then finished while shrugging his shoulders, "I was even going to offer the winner a free wish, as long as it was reasonable."

"Why the Hell would you do all that?" Ben asked while shaking his head at the kid ahead of him. "And, why didn't you tell us to start with?!" Ben shouted.

"I thought it would be more fun this way," Cartman said with a smirk back at the older boy.

"But if you had told- I-" Ben bit down hard, and he shook his head around like he could not believe this.

Cartman stared at Ben for a few seconds, and his eyes widened before going back to their normal size right away. He darted his gaze to the right where a purple curtain next to his chair looked back at him and nodded its eyebrows. "Sooo," Sora began, while staring right at the purple curtain next to Cartman that had very obvious big purple eyes in the middle of it. "Are we supposed to be pretending like we don't see him?" Sora asked.

The Wizard King rolled his eyes, Not like it matters anymore. "Juandissimo," he said, and the purple curtain vanished in a puff of smoke. Luffy and Goku spun towards it in surprise, and the others all shook their heads at them for not noticing it sooner or understanding what Sora was talking about.

A buff Fairy appeared in the air in a tight white muscle shirt that ripped as he flexed his arms behind his head with a big grin on his face. Juandissimo's skin was dark tan, and while his shirt was ripped in the second before it reappeared, he showed off that his arms were not the only crazy muscular part on his body. He had a black pointy goatee and a long ponytail behind his head while the rest of his hair was pulled back towards it. He had on tight black pants and had the same white wings and golden crown that so many in the group before them recognized. "My name, is Juandissimo Magnifico!" He flexed in five more positions, each time destroying his shirt only for it to reform, and the entire time with salsa music filling the air of the throne room.

Everyone had questions. They all wanted answers for what the Wizard King just put them through. Some wanted to yell at the Fairy asking why he was helping such a terrible kid. Nami did not care enough about any of that though, and she shouted before anyone else had the chance to speak, "Where is Timmy?!"

Juandissimo's big smile disappeared and he frowned at the woman who just shouted at them. Nami got confused by that look on his face, and she looked into the Fairy's purple eyes to see so much anger in them. "How could you let your Godchild abuse him like he is?" Nami asked, her eyes soft and confused as she looked at a being that looked much more unnerving without that big smile on his face. The people in the room suddenly remembered that these little beings were some of the most powerful things in the world, and Goku smiled as he wondered if he would get a chance to fight a Fairy Godparent today.

Cartman stared at Juandissimo's back, and the Wizard King's smile lowered down a bit as well. Stan looked at Cartman in surprise at the look on his face. Is that, is Cartman, pitying him?

"He allowed the woman of my dreams," Juandissimo began, then cut himself off and clenched his teeth hard. "The only woman I have ever truly loved! The beauty, the angel, mi amor- Wanda!" He called out her name and snapped his head back with a look of grief on his face.

Nami's jaw dropped. Luffy's eyes narrowed as he thought back on a day a few months ago. Usopp got a confused look on his face though, and he said, "I thought Wanda's husband was named Cosmo-"

"But with her husband gone, we would have gotten back together!" Juandissimo shouted, looking down at the man with the long nose and nodding his head like that made sense.

"'Back together?'" Nami asked slowly. "Wait a second…" At first she thought this guy had just been in love with Wanda, maybe an admirer or something, but her eyes popped open wide and she exclaimed, "Wanda was your ex?!"

"Yes! She broke my heart, but even after thousands of years, my burning passion for her never faded," Juandissimo said in a sultry voice, a rose appearing in his mouth. Then he seemed to remember Wanda was gone, even if they were talking about her, and the rose dropped out of his mouth. He put his hands over his eyes and called out, "Wanda!"

"This is, uncomfortable to watch," Ben muttered down to his right where Dash was standing. The boy next to him nodded once but did not turn to look at his friend who furrowed his brow at Dash's minimal reaction.

"Forget admirer, he sounds obsessed," Usopp whispered to Sanji. "Thousands of years he never got over her, stalker much?"

Sanji's eyes were full of fire when Usopp finally leaned forward to see his face. "Such a fighter," Sanji said in a pained voice, like he totally understood Juandissimo's relentless passion.

"I'm sorry," Nami began, "for your loss, but it's not Timmy's fault!" Juandissimo lowered his hands from his face, and Cartman got a hesitant look on his own as he watched his Fairy Godfather's back.

"He allowed her to die," Juandissimo said in a dark voice again, his comical persona fading off as he frowned at the busty woman. "He said he let Lex Luthor kill her."

Nami stepped forward and yelled, "Timmy tried as hard as he could to save her! I was there!" Nami's eyes started to water up as she thought of that day, of what she saw happen in the sky above Metropolis. The others who had not been there looked over at the woman. They knew Nami had always been close to Timmy, and they all knew that Wanda had died during the Battle of Metropolis, but almost none of them knew what she was talking about. Luffy and Goku were the only other two who were there that day, who saw what really happened. "Timmy didn't let Luthor kill her! It was the exact opposite." Nami shook her head with tears coming out the corners of them, "He gave his-" she froze with her mouth open, "he gave his all, trying to save her," Nami finished.

He gave his life, Nami thought, her heart sinking at the thought of the boy with Luthor's huge fist sticking his small body.

Nami did not notice because her eyes were clenched so tightly, but the Wizard King's eyes opened wide as he heard her think that. Timmy Turner doesn't know that. All he remembers is waking up, and that woman telling him that Wanda was dead. Cartman did not just hear what Nami thought, but he saw what she was imagining as well. He leaned back in his throne and rubbed the side of his head, his lip twisting and a subconscious sigh escaping his lips. She cared that much about him? That must have taken place the same time as the second anomaly. Saving his life drained Juandissimo's strength, could have put me in a dangerous position if… But it didn't, Cartman could not even anger himself with hypotheticals now that Juandissimo's magic had already fully recovered.

"It wasn't Timmy's fault," Luffy agreed, and the others near him spun to see the pirate looked assured of it, not like he was just saying it to help Timmy. "Wanda," Luffy froze and frowned. "Please, never let Timmy know I did this. He would never forgive himself." Luffy frowned at the amount of people who were in the room right now. He did not feel right revealing the secret Wanda asked them to keep with her very last words. He knew Timmy could read minds and was glad the boy had not read his in a long time, but he did not know if Timmy would ever read someone else in the room's minds in the future. His eyes focused over on the three who he was pretty sure he considered as enemies, and he definitely did not trust that Timmy would not try to read their minds. He did not even know if Timmy would need to read their minds, as the bad guys might just tell Timmy to make him hurt.

He's such a powerful weapon though! Cartman frowned in an angrier way. If Meruem had come with some of his forces, Turner would have been my strongest ally in the fight! He could probably fight on par with the Guardians, or other High Lords if Meruem goes as far to involve them.

"Hey Wizard King," Sora said, making the boy who Sora could see was thinking hard about something turn to him. "We could negotiate if you want? You don't need to just give us Timmy." Sora suggested it with a smile on his face. He knew the kid was too prideful to just give in to their demands, especially when the others were arguing with him instead of begging to have Timmy back. Sora could not find it in him to ask the others to bow and beg though, not with the type of people he knew were in the group around him. "What do you want?" Sora asked, as if it were that simple.

"Pshh," Cartman laughed at the teenager whose smile lowered a bit. "You think you have something I want? What about Fairy Godparent don't you understand?" Cartman taunted with a shake of his head. "Do you really think that anything you come up with, I couldn't just wish for on my own?"

"Why do you need to use Timmy then?" Kirito asked. Cartman turned to the teen who tried not to smile. Kirito had been deciding between taunting the kid and trying to reason with him respectfully. He still did not know what he was going with, but he did not want Cartman to think he was poking holes in his logic. The question strained not to sound sarcastic though.

"I don't need him," Cartman snapped. "But it can't hurt to have another powerful fighter at my disposal for the next time the Ant King comes knocking. He was just here a little while ago," the Wizard King added, while shifting his gaze over to a fourteen year old boy whose eyes widened as Cartman made eye contact with him.

He definitely knows it was me. Wait! Does that mean he actually was strong enough to stop the King- "We will talk later," Ben heard a telepathic voice in his head, but he saw that none of the others around him heard the voice. "In private," the Wizard King's voice added in a low, threatening tone.

Cartman continued aloud while having a mental conversation at the same time, "Don't believe me? This was twenty minutes ago," Cartman waved his hand and a giant television screen appeared above his head. "I wish we had replay of the fight," he said. Juandissimo lifted his wand as apparently this was not as simple a hand wave and needed an actual wish, unlike making giant televisions appear that could float in midair. The group in front of the Wizard King who doubted what he had said as an excuse for needing Timmy, dropped their jaws at the sight of four Wizard Kings fighting Meruem, then hundreds of robots turning into more of the boy and all attacking the King together. Cartman cut off the replay with a wave of his hand that made the television disappear, right before Meruem would have used the attack that decimated his army in a single stroke.

"Did you kill him?" Sora asked in surprise, leaning forward with big eyes and a hopeful look on his face.

Riku turned to his best friend in surprise, then his silver eyebrows lifted higher at the sight of the sweat all over Sora's face from watching that small clip. "Did you win?" Sora asked.

"I did," Cartman replied. He continued quickly though while Sora was mid-sigh of relief, "But I did not kill him. I just sent him running home with his tail between his legs." Cartman laughed harder, though this time he did not make a television appear to show the others he was telling the truth, so many of them doubted that was how it actually went down.

Goku had a wide-eyed look on his face as he stared at the child in front of him. At first he was shocked that the kid said he faced the Ant King, then when he actually witnessed the fight, Goku realized that the Wizard King was more powerful than him. The world is so big, Goku thought. So many strong people, the smile tugged at his face, especially with the knowledge that Cartman had not killed Meruem. As strange as it seemed to him, he was glad Cartman did not kill the Ant King. He did not think too much on it, but he knew: he had to be the one who defeated Meruem. Unbeknownst to Goku, a small boy with blond hair was thinking about that very thing only a few feet away from him.

JackJack, I swear I'm getting revenge for you. I'm going to kill the Ant King and send him straight to Hell! Can you hear me? Are you in Heaven right now, watching me? Is that how it works? Dash's expression was darker than ever. Unlike Goku, the relief of Meruem not being dead yet did not actually make Dash's emotions change at all. He stared forward without focusing on the Wizard King, his fairy, or anything else around him. Two years. Two years, and almost another half year on top of that! It took me so long to find you! Dash could feel tears coming to his eyes, so he shook his head and regained an angry and dark expression, stopping himself from crying using whatever it took.

Sora looked disappointed by Cartman's description of his victory, but then he shook his head and returned to the task at hand. "You're so powerful, that you don't really need…" Sora shook his head and sighed. "I get that Timmy's strong, and Meruem has a lot of strong followers. Is that what you want him for?" Sora asked. Cartman's eyes widened a little as Sora asked, and the teen continued before the boy could admit or deny it. "I've seen what the Capital 50 can do, what Meruem's Royal Guards and his Guardians are capable of…"

Gray's jaw dropped lower and lower with every word out of Sora's mouth. Just what in the Hell happened? This war at the Saiyan Mountains, it sounds crazy. Did Meruem bring his entire army there? Then, if Meruem's still alive, that means he subdued the Saiyans, or wiped them out… Is that why Sora said they "escaped" from the war? Are Meruem's forces that overwhelming? The Saiyans were a stronghold against him farther north than any. So many people dared trek across Co-op land just to escape into the territory of the Saiyan Mountains. All those people who fled there, what happened to them? The slaves freed in the north who wouldn't risk going all the way south to Resistance lands. Anyone living under the Saiyan King's rule- there must have been millions, no! Tens of millions of them, maybe hundreds!

"…But Wizard King, just because you're-" Sora caught himself before saying 'afraid,' as he was staying respectful and cautious with every word out of his mouth. "Careful," Sora continued after that second's pause. "Just because you want to be ready for everything he tries throwing at you, doesn't mean you can brainwash people into helping you. Timmy's a good person, and he doesn't deserve to be used like that."

Nami looked left at Sora, her face filling with hope since she had been watching the Wizard King's expression carefully the entire time Sora spoke, and she just saw a shift in it. "And I know there are limits to Fairy magic," Sora continued. He lifted his right hand and formed his Kingdom Keyblade in it. Sora rose the original Keyblade that appeared in his hands while on his home island, first coming to him in his dreams on the nights leading up to his world's destruction. "But this is a Keyblade, you remember?"

"Yes, and I've also heard of how legendary those things are," Cartman added. "But I also know," he continued, "that if you give me that weapon, it will just pop back into your hands!"

"I'm not trying to trick you," Sora said, holding up one hand defensively and pointing his Keyblade straight up too to show he meant no harm. "I was just going to say, that as a Keybearer, there might be things only I can help you with. Certain things that Riku and I, and maybe Ben," Sora added with a glance over at the younger brown-haired boy. "We could do to help you? I mean, you just said that you can't wield a Keyblade right? So there's something right there!"

The Wizard King hummed to himself, wondering about what Sora was saying. "Are you offering, to help me out if the Ant King attacks?" Cartman asked.

Sora gulped at the memory of Meruem staring into his eyes when he was about to kill him. The Wizard King frowned at Sora's look, because he read Sora's mind and saw what the older teen was thinking of. But then, to Cartman and Sora's friends' surprise, Sora nodded his head with a serious look on his face. "Really?" Cartman asked in shock. After reading Sora's mind, seeing how afraid the teen was of that monster, he did not think Sora would come to his aid.

He expected Sora was lying to him, but Sora nodded his head again. "I promise," Sora said. "You, aren't my enemy, Wizard King," Sora said. He shook his head slowly, then continued, "In this world, there are so many who are full of darkness. They destroy, and enslave, and conquer." The memories of the recent war reappeared in Sora's head. "Entire armies of evil. Monsters who I know there is no way of avoiding a fight with, sooner or later. High Lords, and Guardians, and Chimera Ants, and Spriggans. The beastmen, Bahamut, and, the Darkness." Sora said that last one softly with his spiky brown bangs shadowing over his eyes.

The way Sora referred to it as an enemy, the fact that he put a "the" in front of "darkness," it sent shivers down the spines of every person in the room except for Goku. Even Riku looked at Sora with wide eyes, wondering what he was talking about with that. Sora glanced his way with a look that told the taller teen that Sora had a lot he needed to talk to him about, later in private. Sora turned back to the Wizard King who was staring at Sora with wide eyes, then leaned back in his seat in shocked fear which told Sora his mind had been read. Sora nodded at the child and took a step closer to him so he was in front of most of his friends other than Natsu and Luffy who were looking back at him in stunned silence at Sora's speech. "But Wizard King, you aren't one of those enemies. I know I can avoid fighting you, and I know, you really don't want to fight me."

And risk the end of the multiverse?! I live in the multiverse! Cartman thought with beads of sweat dripping down the sides of his face. The top Gods think Sora's this important? Then, then, "You really do promise? You'll come if Meruem attacks?" The Wizard King asked without letting his voice get hoarse or sound anxious at all despite what his words made it sound like he was feeling.

"I do," Sora said and nodded his head back at the boy leaning forward on his throne.

"No matter what?" Cartman asked.

"Ohhh," Franky said and winced noticeably.

"Yeah, can you not say that, Sora?" Natsu asked. Sora looked around at his friends who all seemed grossed out by the idea of Sora saying those words to Cartman. Stan did not get what they were all reacting for, and he felt a little left out as he seemed to be the only one, but he felt a little better when he noticed neither Goku nor Sora understood it either.

Robin gained a dark look on her face, and she said in a flat tone, "Choose other words."

"Uhh," Sora did not really get it, but he shrugged and turned back to the Wizard King. "Then, I give you my word. That good enough?" He asked, while glancing around out the corners of his eyes to see if his friends had a problem with that phrasing. Instead he saw sighs of relief and spotted Robin give him a stoic nod as if saying, 'That'll do.'

"Hmph," Cartman grunted, and he looked away after Sora asked. He glanced up at Juandissimo who had kept frowning the whole time they discussed, too deep in thought about what they told him to focus on the ongoing conversation very closely. Juandissimo looked down into the kid's eyes, and after a few seconds, Juandissimo nodded his head a couple of times. Guess I have no choice, Cartman thought, though he knew he was just using that nod as a scapegoat, an easy way to make this feel like he had no say in the matter, even though it was ultimately his decision. "I suppose, I can make that deal," Cartman said. I'm losing Turner, and I'm just getting a promise of help for the future? I don't even know if… no, he will come. And if he can do that portal-teleport-y thing that his friend can do, then he really will show up even if I don't wish him here myself.

"Are you serious?" Nami asked, stepping forward with giant eyes and her heart racing a thousand beats a minute. "You'll really, release him?"

"Without a fight?" Goku added, as if suggesting that maybe the Wizard King think about it again for a second. Goku saw the Wizard King's techniques in that video, and while everyone else was talking about Timmy and worldly or universal problems, Goku spent the whole time thinking about ways that he could beat the Wizard King in a fight. He was ready to test some of them out.

"Goku," Juvia snapped at the man. Goku turned to the blue-haired mage in surprise who stepped towards him and said in an angry tone, "He is giving us Timmy. Don't make him change his mind, idiot." She muttered the last part, while Goku stared at the girl in utter confusion.

His head tilted to the side while she looked in his eyes, and Juvia opened her mouth to snap something else at the way he was staring at her. "Juvia, did I do something wrong?" Goku asked.

Juvia's open mouth opened more as she gawked at him. A lot of the others had looked at Juvia in confusion at what she just said to Goku. It was so out of character for her, and it made some of them concerned. Goku's question though, it snapped most of their gazes away from the Rain Woman and to the Saiyan man who glanced around at his friends who all started frowning at him. "What?" Goku asked.

"You abandoned us outside of Dressrosa!" Usopp exclaimed.

"You never came back," Ben added in an angry tone.

"So much bad stuff happened, because you weren't there to help out," Dash agreed, and Goku turned to the boy who had not said anything about this to him since they met up.

Even Kirito added in, "You told me to come to Aebrith so we could help the Resistance together. I've been helping them," he looked at the man expectantly, awaiting an explanation.

Goku's surprised look faded, but instead of an apologetic one, Goku's friends were all met with a disapproving frown. Usopp leaned back, and asked in a hesitant voice, "What?"

"I didn't know you all relied on me," Goku said. Usually that sentence would be a heartfelt, moving moment, but Goku just looked annoyed and even upset at himself.

Ben looked at the muscular man who used to be the mayor of his town in such a confused way. "We do rely on you though," Ben said.

"That's not good," Goku replied and looked down into Ben's eyes. He smiled a gentle smile at the boy and said, "I won't always be there. One day, I'll die, and you'll need to be able to handle problems and powerful enemies without me." Goku's friends dropped their jaws. Not necessarily because they had realizations, but just because Goku sounded like he was actually making sense and even, being wise? They always thought of him a lot more like the kid version who had left them outside of Dressrosa, and thinking about that made a few of them realize they had yet to ask how Goku turned back to his old self. "And even before I'm dead, there are still going to be a lot of times where you have to take care of yourselves without me. I can't be in multiple places at once, and I can't do everything. I don't want to," he added with a light laugh.

While Goku was talking to the friends around him, Sora and Nami had walked closer to the throne and were discussing something with the Wizard King. The others all wanted to get Timmy back too, but this argument had drawn all of them in, and they were all watching even more closely now with what Goku was saying. Sanji nodded his head after Goku said that last sentence. Oddly enough, he found himself going back on his own feelings on the matter, agreeing with Goku. We forget it because he's so strong, but Goku's still just a man. It wasn't selfish of him to go off on our own, it was selfish of us to expect him to get us out of tough situations whenever we needed him. Shit, Sanji pulled a cigarette out and lit it.

"But, but," Ben started quietly. "What if we needed you? What if, we were all dying?" Ben asked.

"You guys wouldn't all die on me," Goku said with a laugh. Ben did not laugh with him, and Goku sighed before saying, "I haven't seen Killua, is he okay?"

Natsu opened his mouth to tell Goku that he was not. He opened it to tell the man he still thought of as "The Mayor" that Killua had died. "He's in a coma," Natsu said. He could not tell Goku something like that just to counter Goku's points, because as annoyed as he was with Goku, he accepted that Goku was making sense too. It's not like the rest of the group stayed together anyway, so Goku would have had to pick a side at some point and abandon the other half of us. "Doctors say he'll probably be alright though," Natsu added as Goku looked towards him with a worried expression.

"Oh, that's good," Goku said.

Juvia bit down so hard behind pursed lips. "Not everyone, is alright," Juvia said, and Goku turned to the girl who was glaring so angrily at him.

"I'm sorry, Juvia," Goku said, for the first time apologizing since the others confronted him. "Sometimes though, fights are hard. It's the hardest battles that mean the most though. Those are the fights that stick with you the longest." Goku looked away from the girl staring at him in confusion and anger like that did not satisfy why she was mad at him. "Those fights sometimes come with loss," Goku thought about the first time he became a Super Saiyan. Then he thought of the fights against Raditz, and Cell, against Vegeta, and King Piccolo. Most of the time he had lost friends, sometimes he died himself. "But when I'm gone, I'll be leaving this world in the hands of the people I trust, including a bunch of the people in this room." Goku's friends stared at him in shock, and he finished, "But how could I feel comfortable doing that, if I had to save you every time there's trouble?"

"So what you're saying is, we needed to prove ourselves?" Ben asked, lifting his eyebrows in realization.

"Um, sure," Goku said. The half-hearted way in which he said it made every person there sweatdrop and wonder if he came up with all that on the spot. Goku had not really thought any of that through before, but he meant every word of what he said. If his friends had died, he would have been upset, and he would have gone after whoever killed them, but it would not change the way he felt. Goku made friends everywhere he went, but he never stayed in one place for too long. It just wasn't his thing, to stick around.

Goku's friends knew the kind of man he was, or at least they thought they did after all the time they spent traveling with him. Juvia opened her mouth. She wanted to tell Goku what had happened to her and get a more sincere apology than what she got. She knew Goku well though, and she knew that he had died not once, but twice before. She bit down again as it would seem like there was nothing to complain about to a man like that then, but she felt the strongest urge to yell it at him anyway. Juvia felt a hand press softly on her back, and she turned to see not Gray who she expected, but Kirito standing in the spot next to her that he had been in while talking to Goku. He could see her face, unlike the man farther away who was confused at why Kirito just did that, though he realized when Juvia turned her head sideways and Gray saw just how angry she looked.

Kirito had been upset with Goku too, but when he saw how Juvia was snarling, he knew her anger was being misplaced. Kirito agreed a little with what Goku was saying, but he did not think it excused the man's actions. But for Juvia, Kirito thought, and he nodded at Juvia with a look on his face that told her Kirito did not think Goku was in the wrong. Juvia clenched her teeth harder for a few seconds, then she let out a gasp of air and started breathing hard as she contained an outburst that had almost erupted.

Gray stopped walking over and stared at Juvia's face in surprise as Kirito got her to calm down. Thanks, Gray thought, but then Kirito darted his eyes to the right with a dark look in Gray's direction. Gray saw that look, and it clearly told him that Kirito was did not do that for his sake. Gray looked away when Juvia looked back up, but Kirito also refocused his gaze so that Juvia would not see where he had glared off to. "Thanks, Kir-"

"Timmy!" Nami shouted, and everyone spun towards the throne where Juandissimo had just swung his wand above. Sora and Cartman had come to some final arrangements concerning the deal Sora was making with him. As Nami listened, she had sweatdropped because the two were making it sound like Sora was giving Cartman a whole bunch more than Cartman was giving them, and she felt like she was watching them both stroke Cartman's ego for over a minute. She imagined that Cartman had stopped reading Sora's mind to make it seem even more genuine, and then imagined that he had probably stopped reading hers as well because she was obviously thinking about it. She had checked by cursing the fat kid out in her head, and she smiled smugly when he did not react.

Finally Cartman had wished Juandissimo to bring Timmy to them, and out from a cloud of white smoke, Timmy appeared. He stood there, a short twelve year old boy in the middle of the red carpet in front of the Wizard King's throne. After shouting his name, Nami sprinted up to him and dropped down on her knees in front of him. The others started running over behind her, but Nami's face filled with fear at the blank one on Timmy's face. She snapped her head to the side and looked past Timmy's body at the fat boy who she yelled at, "What did you do to him?!"

"Relax," Cartman said with a roll of his eyes. He put his hands on the sides of his head and closed his eyes. "I trapped his consciousness in a cage in his head."

"What?" Nami asked angrily.

"I'm not repeating myself," Cartman growled. Nami glared towards him in an even angrier way, but then the boy's eyes opened back up.

"Nami?" Nami heard a voice whisper right in front of her. She turned her head back and saw Timmy's formerly blank eyes staring straight back into hers when she looked his way. "You're here," Timmy gasped out in amazement.

Nami put her hands firmly down on Timmy's shoulders and she leaned her face close to his. "What were you thinking?" She scolded, making Timmy's eyes open wide. The others who had run up behind Nami looked at her in surprise too. After all she had worried about him, after how anxious she had seemed for so long, they were shocked that these were her first words to him. "I should have called for you to wait, but you told me you would be right back. You promised!"

"I know I did and I really was going to come back right away after I told the fairy I was looking for where Fairy World was but then I got in a fight and I didn't realize how strong and I-" Timmy was rambling so fast that it was hard to catch it all.

"I called for you, Timmy," Nami interrupted him. Timmy's eyes opened huge, and a few of the others looked at Nami's back with hesitant looks like they felt she was being too harsh. "I called for you, and you didn't come."

"I know," Timmy whispered, tears forming in his eyes. "I knew, every time. I couldn't get to you though, even though I knew you were in trouble," the tears started spilling from Timmy's eyes. "Every time you said my name, I knew, but I was chained up. I was shackled to a wall-"

"What?" Nami asked, leaning back with a surprised and serious look on her face. Timmy stopped crying and opened his eyes to see Nami's expression, and she asked once he made eye contact with her, "How long was that for?"

"I don't know," Timmy whispered, looking back down with a look of guilt strewn across his face. "Weeks, maybe? There were no windows, and it was so dark in there-"

"Change of plans!" Nami shouted and shot up to her feet. She looked down over the top of Timmy's head at the short, fat, Wizard King who stared back at her with growing eyes. "We're beating this kid up!" Words that Nami never thought would leave her mouth escaped without any hesitation.

"Really?" Goku asked excitedly.

Cartman smirked and was going to taunt the woman, but he froze as every person behind Nami turned their attentions to him and started getting ready for a fight. "Whoa whoa," Cartman shouted. "I just gave you Turner-" he spun to Sora and shouted, "You said we had a deal!"

"Okay," Sora said, then he frowned at the kid in front of him. Gone was the smile he had while complimenting the Wizard King and offering him his future services. "Is the Ant King attacking you?" Sora asked. Cartman's eyes widened, and Butters took a nervous step back on the other side of the throne as Sora. Sora lifted his eyebrows, and asked, "No? Then I don't see why I'd help you out here. Timmy's my friend too."

"Guys, don't," Timmy said, looking around at all his angry friends who were willing to fight the Wizard King for him. "He's too strong. And with Juandissimo, there's nothing we can do."

"Don't be so pathetic, Timmy," Luffy said, turning and looking down at the boy who stared up into Luffy's eyes in surprise at that insult. "Maybe on your own you couldn't beat him, but now we're here."

"If he thought you were strong enough to capture and brainwash, then you must have done some damage, yeah?" Sanji remarked.

"If you all attack me and lose," Cartman called out, "then I will keep Turner locked up here, forever."

Timmy's eyes opened wide, and he turned to look at the fat kid who just shouted that. The Wizard King had gotten past his exhausted mental defenses, defeating him both physically and mentally. Back when he threatened the Resistance, Timmy had been able to take back the smallest amount of control in his facial expression, but since then Cartman had gotten even more intense with pushing his own thoughts farther down in his own head. Timmy had felt helpless inside his mind that no longer felt like his own, and he was still getting used to control over his body. After what Cartman just said though, Timmy's shaking hands tightened and he glared at the fat boy staring back at him. "You'll never, do that to me again."

Nami had such a furious look on her face, but she just growled in frustration and dropped back to her knees behind Timmy. She was not going to risk his life when there was no need, even if she wanted to punch that smug brat right in his fat face. Timmy turned away from the Wizard King again and back to the woman behind him, and then Nami's arms wrapped around him and pulled his head into her shoulder. Her huge breasts were pressed hard into Timmy's chest as she held him as tight as she could, one hand on his back and the other on the back of his head, holding it on her shoulder but with her head pressed to the side into his head as well. "And you, never do that to me again," Nami whispered while their heads were pressed together at their right temples. "Okay?" She asked.

"Mm," Timmy made a noise into her shoulder that sounded like an affirmative. After another second, Nami pulled back from Timmy and smiled at his face.

Timmy smiled back at her, then he looked around at all the others looking in at him. "Guys," Timmy said, his smile widening more at the sight of all of them. "You all came, to save me?" Timmy questioned.

"Of course we did," Ben said, though after saying it he instantly felt bad because he had actually hesitated back in the Resistance base.

"Nami seems to care for you, for some reason," Sanji said and took a puff from his cig. "So we had to," he finished, and Timmy looked his way. The kid with messy brown hair that extended out in front of his head in a point looked at Sanji's face, and he smiled more as he saw that the reason Sanji gave was not the only reason the man had come.

"You're our little bro!" Franky called out and posed by throwing his arms up together diagonally over his head.

"And while you, Goku, and Sora weren't there, we made a pact," Gray said. Sora and Goku looked over at the ice mage who continued, "No matter what, if one of us is in trouble, we all agreed to come to each other's aid."

Not that you can talk, Kirito thought, glaring at Gray for bringing that up. He shook his head and tried to let it go, tried thinking about how Gray lost that arm, or how he had apologized so many times. Kirito turned back to Timmy to get his mind off it, annoyed that he could not change his feelings on the matter by pure willpower.

"So if you're all done here," Cartman called out in a booming voice that sounded more like the one they had been hearing around the castle. The boy using his more Kingly voice bellowed, "Then get out of my castle! Unless there's something else you want?" He asked when they all turned and glared at him. He asked it sarcastically, but also smirked as he said it as if suggesting something to them.

"What else could we want from you?" Nami snapped over at the kid who had made it clear she would not be able to get her revenge on. If she was not getting that, she did not know what else there was to do here.

"'What else?'" The Wizard King repeated like he was talking to an idiot. "What else do you want?" He said, lifting his pitch at the end while looking towards the floating fairy who smiled his perfect smile when everyone looked his way. Nami's eyes bugged as she finally caught on to what the kid was telling them.

"You can't be serious," Sanji said. "Why would you offer anything to us?"

"He's not," Stan said. He looked towards Cartman and said, "You just want someone to ask, right? That way you can tell them 'no,' and then you'll laugh about it."

"ERRR! Wrong!" A loud buzzer beeped in the room as Cartman made the sound with his mouth. The Wizard King leaned back in his throne, and he said, "I told you, I was planning on giving someone what they wanted if they were able to make it here. It was only supposed to be one winner, but since Sora showed up and threw a wrench in my plans…" Cartman darted a look at Sora who shrugged back at him. "You all made it here. So what do you want? Not many people make it all the way south, and few ever get in here for an audience with the King!" He pointed at himself with a thumb as he said it.

"Why would you do this?" Stan asked, as he was starting to believe his old friend.

Cartman opened his mouth with a planned response, then he sighed since it was Stan he was talking to. "I'm trying to get a reputation for granting favors," Cartman said, his lips curling up. "You know, like a people come down here and have to face a series of tests, and if they pass they can get their heart's desires sort of thing." Most of the people in front of him stared blankly after he explained it, and the Wizard King snapped, "It's boring here! And since I can't go take over more land by force," he darted Juandissimo an annoyed look as he said that, but the fairy pretended not to notice. "There's not much to do," the boy finished.

"In that case, I wish I had a dog," Natsu said. "I've always wanted one, since I was a little kid," Natsu said in his most sincere voice. The others looked at him skeptically, but Natsu started smirking mentally at the short fat kid on the throne. And time for him to yell "got you" and laugh… any second now…

"Alright," Cartman said and shrugged his shoulders. He called out in his deep voice that echoed through the room, "A dog you wish for, a dog you shall have!" "I wish he had a dog, a stuffed dog," The Wizard King smirked as he telepathically sent his wish to Juandissimo. There was another part to the reputation he wanted to get out there. Be careful what you wish for, he thought in a smug way.

Timmy stared in shock at the spot in the air above Natsu. How did he do that without saying 'I wish?' Timmy thought in amazement. A large stuffed animal dropped out of the air on top of Natsu who could barely hold it in his hands because of its size. The stuffed dalmatian looked Natsu in the eyes, and he stared right back at it for a few seconds, before dropping it and looking over at Cartman with a confused look. The younger boy grinned back at him and then bellowed in his loud deep voice, "You did not say what kind of dog you wanted! Next person," he turned while Natsu dropped his jaw.

The Dragon Slayer looked down at the stuffed animal in front of him, and he sweatdropped at the thing's cute face. Good thing he didn't give me an actual dog. That would have been bad. I don't know how to raise a pet. In Natsu's head appeared a small blue face of a kitten with white wings on its back. Natsu shook the thought out of his mind, because although he hatched Happy from an egg, he was not Natsu's pet but his best friend for years. "Hold on," Natsu realized something and his eyes went wide, "wait! That wasn't my real wish, I want-" Poof!

Natsu disappeared in a puff of smoke as Cartman pointed his golden staff at him. The Dragon Slayer clenched his eyes shut, then he snapped them back open and dropped his jaw at the sight of the giant wooden doors in front of him. "You have to be kidding me!" He looked around to see he was standing at the top of the marble staircase in front of the Wizard King's castle. "Oh come on!"

"Hey, what'd you do with Natsu?!" Timmy shouted and gave the Wizard King an angry glare.

"I sent him outside where the dogs belong," Cartman said, in an attempt to be witty in regards to Natsu's last wish. Most of the people in front of him saw the effort to try and make that work though, and the Wizard King frowned at the ones who made it too obvious on their faces. Their wishes are definitely getting messed with, he thought smugly. "Alright, anyone else?" Cartman asked.

"Are you just going to mess with all of us?" Gray asked, wondering if it was even worth it to try.

"Why don't you find out?" Cartman asked.

Gray sighed, then thought, As long as it won't kill me, I guess I could try something. "I wish for the Resistance's victory over the Cooperative."

"Ah, the good soldier," the Wizard King remarked. "Alright, your wish has been granted!"

"Huh?" Gray asked in confusion. He turned to Juandissimo, then back to the kid sitting on his throne, "What are you talking about? You didn't even make a wish."

"No, I did," the Wizard King replied. "Don't worry, I'm sure in at least one of the next ten battles, the Resistance will get a victory over the Cooperative."

Cartman smirked, and Gray dropped his bottom lip. He knew it was going to happen, but he still felt like he got duped anyway. "You little-" Poof! Just like that, Gray vanished and appeared outside next to a slowed-in-space Natsu who had tried running into the doors, forgetting about the strange protective field they had around them. "Smartass," Gray finished in annoyance, before moving forward to help Natsu out of his predicament.

"These are all going to be dumb," Stan said. "Let's just go now."

"I don't know," Sora said, a smile coming to his face as he looked over at Stan. "I think we just need to be more specific."

Timmy looked over at the kid who just spoke up, and he felt a little hesitant since he had been away for so long. When did he join up with everyone? Was it outside of Dressrosa? Should I read his mind and find out? If the others trust him though, I don't think I need to- "Timmy, this is Stan," Nami said as she saw where Timmy was looking. Stan looked over towards where they were in the middle of the room's red carpet and made eye contact with the other twelve year old. "He knows the Wizard King from his world, so he offered to come help us save you."

"Oh, wow," Timmy stepped towards Stan and smiled at the other kid. "Thank you, for that."

Stan shook his head like it was no problem at all, then he turned back to Sora who had a thoughtful look on his face. He made it look like he was pondering Sora's suggestion to be more specific, while thinking, You don't owe me anything. Now, we're even… kind of.

"Okay," Sora said, rubbing his hands together like he had it. His expression got more serious even with the smile still on it, and he looked deep into the fat boy's eyes. "Wizard King, I wish for you to bring my fiancé to me. Could you bring Kairi here?" Everyone looked at Sora in sudden surprise, then most of them spun back to the Wizard King to see if he would do it.

"First you want me to teleport the two of you away, now you want me to bring Kairi here," Cartman said. "You're not very original with these."

Sora chuckled a couple of times, only to respect the Wizard King by laughing at his joke. "No, I guess I'm not," Sora said, agreeing with a nod of his head. "So, can you?" Sora asked.

"Of course I can!" Cartman said. He cleared his throat then began in his bellowing voice, "I wish, for Sora's fiancé Kairi to join us here!" Cartman did not mask his voice or go through the routine that he would normally go through with people who did not know Juandissimo was there, which he hoped would be a higher number once word of his actions here got around. All the wishes could not be joke wishes if he wanted his reputation to really get out, and he felt like Sora was the most likely to spread it about him than the others anyway.

Juandissimo waved his wand in front of his body this time instead of behind his back where his hands had looked to be held together behind his waist. Juandissimo waved it, then his eyes widened and he looked at the back of his wand in surprise. He turned to Cartman who was watching him expectantly, and he said to the boy, "It exceeds the magic limit you wished for for other people's wishes."

"Please," Sora said, spinning from Juandissimo back to Cartman after hearing that. Sora's face looked more desperate this time, and he put his hands together in front of his body. Sora dropped down to his knees even, tossing aside his pride as he asked again, "Take off the limiter. I know it will be a lot of magic, but I'll make another deal with you."

"No can do," the Wizard King said. "If Juandissimo gets low on magic, it doesn't matter how much you promise to help me out, I'll be unprotected."

"I'm confused," Timmy began while watching this go on. "Why can't you teleport Kairi here? It should be simple, right?" He asked while looking at Juandissimo.

"Yes, it should be," the buff fairy said while glaring back at Timmy Turner. Timmy eased back a little at the fairy's glare, and then the muscular man softened his own look as he thought about how the others defended Timmy, saying that he tried to save the woman Juandissimo loved. "I do not know why I cannot bring her here easily."

"Kairi," Nami whispered softly.

Timmy looked up at her, then around at his other friends. A scared look formed on his face and he whispered, "Nami?" She looked down at him and a sad expression remained on her face as she started to tell Timmy what had happened to their auburn-haired friend.

"If you can't bring her to me," Sora began, but he grimaced as he could not come up with something better on the spot. I want to say send me to her, but they'll be expecting me. The whole might of the Organization, including Super Saiyan Noxagh. I'd even have to fight Roxas and Axel. Roxas needs to keep his cover in the Organization, they both do, but it's more than that with Roxas. If I go there, he either fights me or loses Naminé. I know which he would choose, because I know what I would choose. "Then, could you just take my wish, that you were actually going to fulfill, and could you be that serious with Timmy?"

Timmy's eyes opened wide, and the rest of Sora's friends stared at his back in confusion or awe. Even Cartman looked ahead at the teen standing in front of his throne, huge eyes as Sora had somehow known that Cartman was treating Sora's wish a lot more seriously than any of the others. "I guess, if that's your wish," Cartman said.

"Why me though?" Timmy asked, and Sora turned and started walking back to the others. Most of the group were gathered a good ten meters away from the throne, where everyone had run to after Timmy had appeared.

Sora smiled at the kid he walked back to, and he said, "The Wizard King made you go through a lot, so you deserve to get something back from him more than anyone."

Geez, Kirito thought while shaking his head at Sora. Does it come naturally, or are you constantly trying to be the best person in the room? It almost gets annoying.

Timmy started walking forward past the rest of the group. He walked closer and closer to the Wizard King who frowned at the boy who was recently his prisoner. "I'm not going to forgive you," Timmy said in a quiet voice when he was only a few feet in front of the fatter kid's throne. "You invaded my mind, and trapped me here," he turned and frowned up at the Fairy Godparent floating next to the throne just a little above and to Cartman's right, and he finished, "you both did." Timmy saw Juandissimo look away like he might feel a bit of shame from that look Timmy gave him, but Timmy turned back and saw Cartman looking at him with a skeptical gaze and lifted eyebrows, waiting for Timmy to get to a point. "But, if you do this, I'll forgive you for at least, a little of it."

"As long as it's within Juandissimo's set parameters," Cartman began, "it's yours."

"When you finally got control of my mind, you remember what you did?" Timmy asked. He had a harsh and upset look in his eyes, and Cartman's eyes widened as he knew exactly what Timmy was talking about. "I had kept it with me even after losing our fight. I wouldn't let it go, and then you- with my own hands, you-" Timmy's face scrunched up, while his friends behind him looked at him in such confusion as they had no idea what he was talking about. "I want it back. Please," Timmy added, and Cartman stared into his eyes to see that this meant a lot to the kid in front of him.

"Alright," Cartman said and turned to his fairy.

Before he could say anything, Timmy started to Juandissimo, "And it wasn't the same one from my own world. It was new, so, the same one okay? The same exact one."

The Wizard King spoke telepathically to his Fairy Godfather, and Juandissimo nodded before shaking his wand held behind his back again. Timmy had figured out what they were doing after thinking about it for a few seconds, glad the intelligence Wanda gave him long ago allowed him to deduce their method of making wishes fairly quickly. A puff of white smoke appeared around Timmy, and the group staring at him stared in confusion, or for Nami, complete shock, as they saw what Timmy wished for.

Timmy lifted his hands and gently placed them on top of his head, on top of the pink hat that once again rested there. He brought his gaze down from the rim just above his eyes back to Cartman's face. "Thanks," he said, smiling with his buck teeth sticking out over his bottom lip.

"Yeah yeah," Cartman said. He then used telepathy and added into Timmy's head, "You stay behind after too for a minute." A hesitant look formed on Timmy's face, and Cartman rolled his eyes, "I'm not going to trap you again. Okay?"

Timmy nodded, though he did not know if he should trust the words of his kidnapper. He decided it was worth it to hear him out at least, a decision not in a small way affected by the fact that he could see his pink hat at the top of his vision. Timmy turned back, and he saw Nami staring over at him with watery eyes which made Timmy's face fill with panic for a second, wondering if he had done something wrong. Nami shook her head like that was not it, then she smacked her cheeks a couple of times to get control of herself.

He wasted that wish, the serious wish that Sora gave him, on the hat I made for him? Timmy you, you! Nami struggled to keep it together externally, even as inside she was breaking down emotionally in mental tears. Timmy walked up to her and looked into her eyes in semi-confusion, then he started to explain, "I tried to hold onto it-"

Nami put a hand down on the top of Timmy's head, pushing the rim of his hat into his hair and his hair over his eyes, blocking his vision for a second though he smiled while Nami ruffled his hair like that. "I'm just glad you got it back," she said, while lifting her free and and quickly rubbing her eyes back and forth.

Robin could not help but think, Aww. She was not the only one, but Sanji's heart-shaped eyes at how beautiful Nami was when she cared for someone turned into fiery ones when he realized she would never care for him in the same way she did Timmy. He bit down and curled his fists in jealousy of the kid, then he had an idea and ran forward to be the next to get his wish. As soon as Sanji ran up, Nami, Robin, and Juvia all stared at the blond man's back anxiously as they feared the words about to come out of his mouth.

"I wish all the women in the world-" Sanji began his yell. Robin and Juvia started raising their arms to try and stop him, while Nami lifted her hand off of Timmy's head and reached it out while a look of panic filled her face. "Loved me forever!" Sanji finished exclaiming.

Robin froze right after her arms crossed. Juvia sighed and her arms fell back to her sides, and Nami lost her look of panic, instead rolling her eyes at the chef's back.

Kirito watched this all in slight amusement. Guess they all thought he was going to wish all their clothes away. I kind of thought that's how he was ending that sentence too. Imagine, if every woman in the world suddenly lost all their clothes. He could not help but crack a smile, before quickly lowering it and telling himself that it wouldn't have been funny. He saw Sora chuckling on his right side though, and Kirito grinned again as he imagined Sora had the same idea as him.

"ERRR!" Cartman crossed his arms and called out, making a buzzer go off at the same time. "Can't do that. Making people fall in love, it's too much. Even just one single person would be against Da Rules."

Dash's frown deepened when he heard the Wizard King say that. It's going to be against Da Rules, isn't it?

"Oh," Sanji said, a dejected and disappointed look forming on his face. "Backup wish it is then," he looked up with a devious glint in his eyes. "I wish-" Two arms sprouted from the sides of Sanji's head and covered his mouth. Sanji's eyes bulged and he mumbled into the hands, but Nico Robin walked forward so that she was on Sanij's right.

He turned to her and started shaking his head fast as she was ruining his wish, but Robin knew for sure what Sanji's wish was going to be this time when she saw that perverted look in his eyes. "I wish that Sanji does not get a wish," Robin said calmly, and Sanji's face covered in despair.

"Done," the Wizard King said with a laugh, then he swung his golden rod their way and made them both disappear. Poof Poof!

"Might as well go next," Kirito said, and he started walking forward with a straight expression on his face. He had no idea what to expect. So far a few of the wishes had actually been carried out without problem, while others were just tricks by the kid in front of him. He decided not to take it too seriously, as he felt he would only get annoyed more by the ending. That took away the most obvious wish that he did not even want to trick himself into considering might be possible: bringing back his dead wife. He thought for a few seconds, and then he nodded his head as he had the perfect idea in mind.

"I wish, I had my wings back," Kirito said.

Timmy looked over at him in surprise, "What happened to the ones I-" He stopped calling it out when he saw the look of pain flash over Kirito's face. "Oh… oh!" Timmy shouted it the second time. The first 'oh' was in realization that they were gone, while the second was him realizing that someone must have ripped them off.

"The same wings that you had before?" The Wizard King asked. Kirito's eyes widened hopefully, and he nodded his head as those were the optimal ones he could imagine. He had gotten so used to them since Timmy and Wanda gave them to him, and he still had not readapted to life without them. He still sat down carefully, keeping his back off of back-rests, and when he went to bed he always lifted up a little if he was gong to roll over onto his other side. Flight was much slower and more taxing when he had to use ki to do it, and a small smile crept up on his face at the idea of getting them back. "Okay then," the Wizard King said, his voice getting lower while he pointed his golden staff forward. "Wings you had before, you shall have again!"

A puff of white smoke surrounded Kirito, and then everyone staring at him lowered their bottom lips and a few gagged. Kirito stood there with his arms outstretched, black dragonfly-looking wings resting over his arms with skin on the base of them where they should have been connected to his back. "You said the same wings," the Wizard King said. "So these are those wings, good as new-" Kirito dropped his wings on the ground and glared at the kid who gotten his hopes up. "Get out," Cartman said when he saw that look, and he slammed the butt of his golden rod down on the ground next to his throne. Poof!

"Brat," Kirito said, but he frowned deeper as he was already outside. He held on to a faint hope that somehow the kid had heard him.

"Well I want to go," Goku said, walking forward and then looking up at Juandissimo. "I used to make wishes all the time."

"You did?" Cartman asked.

"You did?" Most of Goku's friends behind him asked at the same time too.

"Yep," Goku said. "We had these things called Dragon Balls. There were seven of them, and if you gathered them together, you could make any wish you wanted! That's how I got brought back to life the first time I died," he said, "and how we brought back Krillin every time he died too."

"How many times has Krillin died?" Ben muttered to himself with a bead of sweat dripping down his face.

"So, can you bring back my wife, ChiChi?" Goku asked. Juandissimo's eyes widened, as did most everyone's in the room, especially Dash's. The kid's heart started racing as he awaited the response from the Wizard King and his fairy. "She's in Heaven right now, but could you bring her back here… no?" Goku asked, a slightly disappointed look on his face.

"Sorry," Juandissimo said to the man in front of him.

"It's okay," Goku said, smiling at the fairy to show him he was not too disheartened by it. "Shenron, our dragon, sometimes had things he couldn't do either. Well in that case, could you make me a Super Saiyan God?" Goku asked.

Cartman's eyes widened, but not for the same reason that the rest of Goku's friends did. "You aren't already one?" Cartman asked in surprise. "I would have thought- actually, nevermind," he said and shook his head around. He hesitated while looking at the friendly man before him who he had seen before, who almost everyone in the world had heard of. Then he thought about how Goku said he wanted to fight him earlier. Giving this guy even more power is too risky. "Can't do it," the Wizard King said and shook his head. "It's too much power."

Juandissimo glanced in at his Godchild, but he said nothing and just nodded in agreement. If Cartman was not going to wish for it, then it was not his place to try anything. He was not supposed to tell his Godkid what to wish for and what not to. "Hmm," Goku hummed after he was denied a second time. "Then, how about sending me back to my own world?" Goku asked. This time, all of Goku's friends actually dropped their jaws. "But just for a day or so," Goku elaborated. "I want to see how the Earth is doing without me or the other strongest fighters there."

"Goku, you don't want to go back to your world," a quiet voice said in the center of the room. Everyone looked over towards the center of the room, and even Nami stared down in shock at the boy standing right in front of her. Timmy lifted his gaze and looked Luffy in the eyes, "Trust me, it's better you don't see it."

"Timmy, you," Nami began, and the boy in front of her turned to look up into her eyes.

Timmy spun back though as the Wizard King said, "You too?" Timmy looked into the fatter boy's eyes with wide ones of his own, and Stan walked forward now after hearing what Cartman just said.

"Cartman, you went back?" Stan asked.

"Yeah," the Wizard King replied, not bothering with correcting Stan at this point. While Stan asked and Eric answered, Sora had a confused expression on his face. Something was bugging him and getting more and more upsetting each second he stood there listening to this line of conversation. The Wizard King continued to his old friend, "Trust me Stan, there's no point in going back."

"Why not?" Stan asked.

Timmy turned right and replied to the kid next to him, "Because the worlds fell apart." He looked to Cartman to see if that happened with his too, and the Wizard King nodded at the memory of it. Timmy continued, "It was crazy. I found out that a third of the people in my world disappeared all at once. The biggest problem though, was that it took away the best of society, and the worst," Stan added in a lower voice the final part. "I found out that doctors had vanished all over the place, as well as most of the world's biggest militaries. All the world leaders too, even the mayor of my town was gone. My parents weren't there, and neither were any of my friends. I walked down my street, and it was completely deserted. My school was covered in graffiti, and I checked the news to see war all over the world. Asia had been irradiated, and Antarctica melted because of the nukes."

"You're kidding," Dash whispered as he looked towards Timmy. "That's what happened, to the worlds we left?"

Sora's expression darkened and he lifted his gaze angrily to the ceiling. As he thought angry thoughts at the Gods for their plan, for the way they were messing with people's lives, Sora's jaw dropped as the thing that was bugging him suddenly popped to the front of his mind. "Wait a second," Sora said, spinning to Juandissimo and staring at the tiny creature in shock. "Even the Gods have trouble traveling between universes. The Originals at that," Sora said, shaking his head in shock. "How can you-"

Juandissimo looked shocked at the stuff Sora was saying, and the Wizard King had his eyebrows lifted up as well. Behind and around Sora though, every person there was staring at Sora nervously and in shocked silence. Even Butters, on the left side of the throne Cartman was sitting on, leaned over to the fat boy with a gold crown on his head and asked, "What's he talking about, Eric?"

"Don't worry about it Butters," Cartman retorted, only a little more composed than the others because he had read Sora's mind and been shocked by it already.

"Yes, the magic of Fairy Godparents is mucho, mucho strong!" Juandissimo claimed and flexed, making his shirt rip and reappear again.

"So you really can, jump between worlds?" Sora wondered in amazement.

"And that's just normal poofing magic," Timmy said. "You should see what the most powerful Fairy magic can do." Juandissimo looked Timmy's way and his eyes started growing wide, and then they bugged out as Timmy finished, "This ninja, Madara, probably would have taken over the world on the First Day if it weren't for Cosmo." Timmy looked the other fairy's way when he said that, about to keep explaining what Cosmo did, but Juandissimo was sure of it now after hearing that.

"The First Day, that was Cosmo?" Juandissimo asked, his whole body shaking. He flexed so hard that his shirt ripped and it didn't reappear around his torso this time. "You don't understand how powerful that is, Timmy Turner!" Juandissimo exclaimed at the boy.

"I do," Timmy started.

"No, you really don't," Juandissimo said, shaking his head. When he stopped shaking it, the look of anger was off of his face, instead replaced by fear. Timmy leaned back at that look, and Juandissimo floated back a few feet subconsciously while saying, "Your friend just told you how hard it should be just to travel to different worlds, that even most of the Gods cannot do so, but us Fairies can do that easily. So if we can do that with simple poofing magic, can you imagine the power of a Fairy's Sacrifice which I have never once witnessed myself?" Timmy slowly shook his head at the Fairy, thinking about how strong that magic must really have been then. Juandissimo continued, "Our kind is unlike other fairies. Fairy World was in its own separate dimension in a different part of the cosmos as your world. The version you entered was in your own dimension, but Fairy World existed on several planes at the same point, which is why you were still able to use the bridge to get back to your own world."

Timmy nodded along, even though he was finding this hard to follow. It was tougher considering Juandissimo had a thick Spanish accent and kept flexing his muscles in a distracting way. "This is because Fairy Godparents were not limited to your world. There were always limited Fairies, but we try to go to children in need in every universe. Your universe was not even the worst, not close to it, so there were universes with many more Fairies in them than your own."

"Hold on," Nami started and waved her hands in front of her. Her childhood flashed in her mind, and in an angry tone she snapped, "How can you say that? I can think of more than a few kids who could have used your help!"

Juandissimo sighed at the woman and then flexed in her direction and spoke while ripping through a fresh shirt, "Fairies are not invincible. In fact, most have fragile bodies, unlike my own!" He flexed again to show what he was saying to be true. Then he continued, "Because there are limited Fairies, there is too much of a risk to the balance of the cosmos if Fairies were to go to worlds where they would constantly be risking their lives fighting evil. That is why Da Rules bans us from going to worlds beyond a certain Danger Level."

"That's not fair," Nami started. "Aren't you supposed to help the kids in the most need?"

"It is fair, and it was a good rule," Juandissimo snapped at the woman, leaning forward with an angry look appearing on his face. "This world has a Danger Level high above anything Da Rules would have accepted, and look at the Fairies now! We are wiped out! Our entire race!" Juandissimo put an arm against his forehead and dramatically turned away. "I have not seen another Fairy on this world in years! All communication with my superiors was cut off-"

"That's what I came here to tell you!" Timmy yelled. Juandissimo turned back to Turner in some confusion, and Timmy continued in an annoyed voice, "But before I could start, you asked me about Wanda- and then you freaked out on me!"

"Your Fairies being gone only confirmed my suspicions that I was all that remained," Juandissimo said, frowning at the boy who just snapped at him.

"You're wrong," Timmy said telepathically. Juandissimo looked at the kid oddly, and Timmy continued, "I have to pass this on in my mind, because I promised Rocket not to tell anyone the location other than other Fairies."

"Rocket? I know him!" Juandissimo thought with a shocked look on his face, and tears appearing in his eyes. "So Fairy World really is here? Why have I not heard anything from them? The Fairies in charge have not communicated with me in-"

"They're all dead," Timmy thought at the Fairy. Everyone else in the room was staring at the two of them oddly as they stopped talking to instead speak telepathically. It was a little awkward since none of them wanted to interrupt the conversation they figured was going on. Timmy explained the day he found Fairy World to Juandissimo, and ended with, "…There are only a few who remain. I'm sorry."

Timmy finished explaining, and Juandissimo's look darkened as he glared at Timmy, "If Cosmo had not used that forbidden magic, Fairy World would have had the power to protect itself." Timmy bowed his head, as he had had that same thought a thousand times before. "But-" Timmy's head flinched and he lifted his gaze up a little more, "You did save a few Fairies. And you told me where Fairy World is, told me that I'm not alone, even though I let my Godchild do what he wanted with you…"

"Then, let's call it even?" Timmy wondered at him. The Fairy's eyes opened wide at the offer, and Sora thought to him, "Please?" Juandissimo could see that as guilty as he felt about letting Cartman mess with Timmy how he liked over the past month, Timmy felt a thousand times as guilty about what happened to Fairy World.

"Sure thing, Timmy Turner," Juandissimo said and nodded at the kid.

"You two done?" Cartman asked in the mental connection, making the other two realize that he had been listening in silently for a while. Juandissimo frowned at his own Godson, but Cartman shrugged like his Fairy Godfather should have expected it from him, which Juandissimo sighed realizing he totally should have. "Alright," Cartman said, turning away from the two who also seemed to finish their conversation at the same time. The others wondered if Cartman had taken part in it, but neither of the others had looked at him until the very end before he spoke aloud.

"Who's next? This is taking too long," Cartman waved his hand like he wanted it to go a little faster.

"Um, I still haven't gotten a wish," Goku said.

"You going to make one that I can actually do this time?" Cartman asked. "Or do you really want to go back? If I send you there though, I'm not making another wish to bring you back here."

"Oh, that's disappointing," Goku said with a sigh. The next thing any of them knew, Goku disappeared in a puff of smoke. Poof!

"In that case you get nothing, next person," Cartman said, sounding impatient at the lack of respect he was receiving.

As Usopp and Franky nodded at each other and started walking forward, Nami looked down at Timmy and began, "When did you go back to your own world?"

"Soon after, New Tokyo," Timmy whispered in response. "I had, had enough of Nexus," he continued softly. "After Fairy World, and Konoha, and then that terrible day…" he trailed off and shook his head sadly. "But Wanda's magic depleted fast on my world. She was too far away from Fairy World to receive the magic. The boundaries of Nexus blocked her from getting any more, so if we had stayed there for any longer than a few hours, Wanda said she would not have enough magic to wish us back to Nexus."

"And was the world really, that bad?" Nami whispered. "I always wondered, what happened to my home."

"Don't worry," Timmy said and shook his head at her. "You told me all about your village, and I think it would be okay even if a bunch of people suddenly disappeared from it, right?" Nami slowly nodded at him, and Timmy continued, "On your world covered in islands separated by ocean, I bet all those islands are just a lot more isolated from each other now. Considering all the Marines we've seen on Nexus, I doubt the Government's still functioning back there to tie everything together."

"That might even be a good thing," Nami admitted to the kid who smiled at that optimistic outlook on it. He turned back to the front of the room, and once his face was aimed away from Nami, he allowed the guilty look to appear on his face. Timmy and Nami looked over at the Wizard King who awaited his next requests.

"If we wish together, does that give us more of a chance that you actually make the wish happen?" Usopp asked as he and Franky stopped in front of the fat kid's throne.

"Of course," the Wizard King said, using a congratulatory tone like they were smart for figuring that out, even if he did just decide it on the spot. Everyone was paying too much attention to his Fairy that he needed to remind them who was the real impressive one in the room right now. "Wish it and it shall be yours, pirates!" He bellowed in his booming voice.

Franky grinned a big smile and Usopp called out, "Yosh! You see, we were working on this awesome invention when our truck got attacked north of here. We'd come up with the idea for it a while ago, and we finally had the right materials to put it together!"

"Then Natsu destroyed the Flood that attacked us, and he blew up the entire ship with his attack, including everything inside it," Franky said in an annoyed tone.

"So, would you mind bringing it back for us?" Usopp asked. "Oh Wizard King the great and powerful?" Usopp added on top with hopes that the kid would find his request humble enough.

"Very well," the kid called out in his booming voice. "That which was destroyed shall be returned to you!"

Juandissimo waved his wand behind his back, a perfect smile forming on his face again. Usopp and Franky celebrated and looked around, then they groaned as they realized they were being messed with too and that their wish did not come true. "What is it?" Usopp asked, awaiting to hear the twist from the Wizard King.

Cartman grinned and pointed his golden rod forward at Usopp. "You asked to bring 'it' back, and you," he snapped the rod to point at Franky, "said that Natsu destroyed your ship." Cartman slammed the butt of his golden rod on the ground while the others looked at him in rising shock, "So, your ship is restored and parked in front of my castle next to the entrance path. Enjoy."

"Thank you so much oh powerful Wiz-" Poof! Usopp's praise cut off and Cartman let out a long sigh. It is nice to lull them into a false sense of security with the occasional act of benevolence.

"Did you really, bring back the truck?" Stan asked Cartman in surprise, wondering what caused the sudden change in heart.

"There was no 'change in heart,'" Cartman said with a shake of his head at his old friend. "You don't seem to get it Stan." Cartman leaned forward and said with a smirk on his face, "Our world is in chaos, and this new one is even crazier! You're a Sith Lord, Butters can control lightning when I let him, and I'm the God damn most powerful thing on the planet! You shouldn't treat this like the old world anymore, Stan. The game has changed! So when I tell you to respect my fucking authoritah!" The Wizard King's eyes narrowed, and he finished, "Then you better fucking respect it. If you don't, I might just stick you in a series of deadly traps. It's all I want, Stan. It's all I demand," he corrected in the end with a more menacing look.

Stan eased backwards, and then after a few seconds, he nodded his head. You got, exactly what you always wanted, Stan thought. Cartman read his mind, but when Stan thought it he expected a smug smirk to appear on Cartman's face. Instead, a sad one came to it for a second before he shifted his gaze to someone else who was walking towards him. As Cartman called out in a booming voice asking what the pirate captain walking towards him wanted, Stan thought, That's right. Fairy Godparents only come to kids that are miserable. That's what they said, at least. What made them decide to give one to you?

Luffy stood in front of the Wizard King after the kid shouted at him asking what he wanted. "I want to punch you, really hard in the face," Luffy said, but he furrowed his brow as he had thought this over and did not think it would hurt the kid at all. "But, I wish that you let Timmy do it," Luffy said before Cartman could respond.

"Yeah, not gonna happen," Cartman said. Luffy started spinning back to the kid after turning to smile at Timmy, and then he vanished when he was only half-spun back. Poof! "Another waste of a great opportunity," Cartman said while looking back to see if anyone else would waste their wish like that.

"Hey, that wasn't very fair," Sora remarked.

"And didn't you already get your wish?" Cartman asked with a tilt of his head to the side like he was having trouble remembering. "Oh yeah," he said, and then he swung his golden rod Sora's way and made the sighing teen disappear in a puff of smoke. Poof! "Not many of you left," Cartman said while glancing around. There was a single pirate, a single Fairy Tail mage, one Keybearer, a half-demon and his cat, and four boys around Cartman's age.

Timmy had also already had his wish, and Nami thought about it for a second but decided it did not mean anything since Cartman had forgotten about Sora too. Timmy thought about that when the Wizard King sent Sora away too though, Cartman still wants to talk to me. What did he mean by "too?" He thought about the way Cartman telepathically told him to hold back after everyone was gone, and he started to wonder who else in the room the Wizard King might have said that too.

"I guess I'll go," Rin said, deciding he had hesitated long enough. He took a deep breath as he walked forward with Kuro at his side, and he asked straight out, "Could you bring my brother here?" He was not too optimistic about this after what happened when Sora requested the same thing for Kairi. "His name is Yukio Okumura. He's my twin, younger brother," Rin specified, hoping it would help.

"Where is he?" Cartman asked, wondering if maybe that was the reason he failed at helping Sora earlier.

Rin hesitated, and Ben, Kuro, Juvia, and Dash all looked at him with pity. The teen replied after a moment's pause, "Hell."

Timmy, Riku, and Nami spun to Rin in surprise, and Stan stared at the teen confusedly. Why would he think his own brother went to Hell? Stan thought.

"You already know I can't bring back the dead," Cartman began.

"He's not dead," Rin countered. Cartman stared at him with lifted eyebrows, and Riku spotted Ben and Dash on Rin's other side as him looking down with scared looks at what Rin just said. They were each thinking on what Astaroth told them back in their fight against the monster, the tortures he had prepared for them when they arrived there. "Satan took him," Rin said, "and I want my brother back." He said it while staring into Cartman's eyes, but for once, the group in front of Cartman saw fear form on his face.

Cartman had opened his mouth to ask Rin what Satan would possibly want with his brother, but he froze when he read the teen's mind. What Rin was thinking about at this moment was how he had just censored what he was going to say because not everyone behind him knew who he really was. In fact, only Kuro and Juvia knew out of everyone who remained. There's no way, Cartman thought. Even if I could do it, I'm not, stealing one of Satan's sons away from him. I'm not crazy! "Can't do it," Cartman said with a shake of his head. "Moving things between Heaven and Hell, it's too much magic," he explained while coming up with that on the spot.

"Oh, okay then," Rin said, and he started thinking of something else. He tried not to sound too disappointed after what happened to Goku when his wishes were not possible. Even if he could not get Yukio back, he did not want to just give up like that. "Um, I guess, could I have a million- ten million dollars?" Rin asked.

The switch between such a heartfelt serious wish and the one he just made had half of his friends sweatdropping behind him. Riku nodded his head though, thinking, Solid wish. He had yet to come up with what he wanted, still annoyed that Kairi would not be retrieved that easily.

The Wizard King's voice dropped into its low pitch, and he called out, "The greedy are never rewarded." Rin cursed at himself for cutting back and adding another nine million on top. I should have stuck with a million! That still would have been awesome! "But in rare instances, they do get consolation prizes," the Wizard King continued. He pointed his golden rod at Rin and a single one-hundred-dollar bill appeared in the air in front of Rin's face.

The half-demon shrugged. Guess I'll take it. He reached forward, Poof! The hundred dollars floated down to the ground and landed where Rin's feet just disappeared. "This, is not one of those rare instances," Cartman said, and as much as the people in front of him were annoyed at him, some of them could not help but crack grins at what Cartman just did. Stan quickly wiped the grin from his face, annoyed at himself for still finding Cartman funny. He always knew Cartman was an asshole though, and yet his entire life he hung around the fat kid and never really knew why. He stopped thinking about it fast as that train of thought annoyed him more than just rolling with it and laughing.

Kuro stared at the spot Rin disappeared, then it turned to Cartman and asked in a high-pitched voice, "Could I have just one fish?"

"Sure," Cartman told the cat. It seemed like Kuro wanted to follow after Rin fast so it just came up with a quick wish, but Cartman smiled as he made the wish in his head. "I wish he had the fish, but make it the tastiest fish he could ever have." A fish appeared in the air falling in front of Kuro, and the cat made sure to catch it in its mouth quickly. Kuro's eyes instantly popped open wide, and then tears started coming out of them at how delicious the fish was. "Your wish has been granted," Cartman said in his booming voice, then, Poof!

"Who's left?" Cartman asked. He looked up at Dash and read his mind, then he actually winced and leaned backwards at the sight of Meruem devouring a tiny kid's brains. He almost told him telepathically that it would not work, but he decided against letting the kid know that he had just seen that. "How about you, Stan? What do you want?"

"Power," Stan replied without hesitation.

"Uh," Cartman let out without thinking. He was not expecting that. He thought maybe Stan would want a better lightsaber, or something else that Cartman could turn into a trick. "What do you mean? What kind of power?"

"The power to kill a shinigami," Stan said, taking a step forward while the others around Stan all stared at him in confused silence. "A powerful one," Stan specified.

Who is this guy? Ben thought as he stared at the kid he had started making friends with back on the ship on their trip down south. Right before they were attacked by Xenomorphs and Predators, he and Stan were talking about their similar homeworlds. Ben was glad to meet someone else from America for the first time in a while. Without Timmy or Dash with him at the time, the closest he had was Rin and Kirito, but they were from Japan which still felt pretty far away to the American kid. He's a Sith Lord, he's trying to kill a powerful shinigami, is he really from a world like mine?

"Hey," Nami began hesitantly. "You wouldn't happen to be talking about, Roronoa Zoro, would you?" She asked in a nervous tone.

Juvia spun to Nami and then back to Stan in surprise. Timmy looked confusedly up at Nami, and she muttered when she saw his look, "I'll tell you later."

"No, it's not," Stan said without even glancing at her. "So, can you do it?" Stan asked. "We're friends, aren't we, Cartman? I'm asking you this as your friend, give me the power I need to kill my enemy."

"No," Cartman said. Stan's eyes darkened, and Cartman just shook his head at him, "The power you'd need to get that strong, it's more than I'm willing to give you for an indefinite amount of time. If it was something simple you needed it for then maybe, but this is, it's crazy, Stan. You can't take on a shinigami, let alone one of the stronger ones."

"That's not for you to decide," Stan said in a dark tone. "Alright fatass, send me away, I'm disappointed by the results. I'll be sure to tell everyone about how the Wizard King doesn't grant any requests!"

"Don't be an asshole Stan, there's gotta be something else you want. Something else you care about?" Cartman asked.

"There's nothing," Stan growled. "Killing him, is all that matters to me," Stan said, his eyes so full of fury as the words spat from his mouth.

"Well, in that case," Cartman said. He glanced up at Juandissimo and thought a wish to him. "I don't know if it'll help, but I wished your lightsaber to be much stronger than normal ones. It could probably cut through a Zanpakuto even, though if the shinigami's strong enough, you won't be able to cut through. It'll definitely cut through the guy's body though." Stan's eyes widened, and Cartman snorted, "Didn't even consider that getting the drop on him still might not have worked, huh? Good thing you came to the Wizard King then, isn't it?" Cartman asked in a threatening tone, lifting his golden rod as if saying he could take back his lightsaber's upgrade with a simple movement.

"You're right," Stan said, nodding at the kid in front of him. He relaxed a little, and he looked down at his right hand where he made his lightsaber slide into. The hilt itself looked different now, more unique and interesting with the patterns wrapping around it. Stan extended the blade, and he felt a little recoil in his hand that he reminded himself to account for the next time. He weaved the blade of light in front of his body, watching it move while its red light cast over his face making Cartman get a little nervous at the red-tinted smirk on Stan's face. Stan started moving the blade faster, and then he started spinning it around in fancy movements, before slamming down into the floor at his feet. Stan cut through the floor, and he grinned at how easily it cut through.

"Hey!" Cartman snapped.

"Sorry," Stan said, pulling the lightsaber out of the ground fast and then retracting it and putting it away. "Just wanted to check the sharpness, and I figured the floors of this place are made as strong as those walls in the entrance hall."

"Oh yeah, that lightsaber could cut through those doors with ease," Cartman said, and Stan smirked more as he remembered how Luffy's attacks did nothing to dent the doors or walls downstairs, and neither did the powerful jet of water in that first room. The Wizard King waved his hand and his floor sealed up, as he decided not to make a big deal out of it. "Now what do you say when people are talking about the Wizard King?" Cartman asked.

"That he grants favors, as long as you pass his tests," Stan replied with a nod at his old friend. Their relationship had changed. Stan realized that he had been treating Cartman too much like they were on their old world. As soon as he heard Cartman's shout back at the Resistance base, he had been reminded that he was not the only person from his world who came here. It reminded him of a world long gone, but the way Cartman treated this world reminded Stan a lot more of the world he had been living on. It reminded him of his real mission, and he was glad Cartman helped him with that. "Thanks," Stan finally said, after considering it for a few seconds.

"Hmph," Cartman turned from him to the next person without first making Stan disappear. He looked at Ben, then passed right over him to Dash, "You come up with your wish yet?"

Dash shook his head back at Cartman, not knowing what to ask if bringing his brother back to life was impossible. "Well I have," another voice said, and the group turned to see Riku walking forward with a small grin.

"Ooh?" Nami said, raising her eyebrows at him. "And what would that be?" She asked, and Riku turned and smirked at her before turning back to Cartman. She was about to find out anyway, and Nami just chuckled as she got ready to hear the wish that seemed like it would be a good one from Riku's quick glance at her. Timmy watched Nami's face wondering what she was smiling about, then he turned to Riku to see what his wish would be too.

"Um, yeah, you don't get a wish," Cartman said, shaking his head with a laugh like that should have been obvious. Riku froze with his mouth open, and Cartman continued while tilting his head and letting out a laugh of disbelief. "You, who disrespected me so much downstairs. Trying to get under my skin, trying to trap me in your head, teleporting in and out of my traps and breaking my rules." Cartman lifted off a few of the grievances, then he pointed his rod forward so the red jewel at the top was aimed right at him. "Bye bye," he said. Poof!

"Why didn't you tell him that earlier?" Ben asked after Riku had vanished.

"Because I wanted him to see what he was missing first," Cartman replied before laughing. "Oh come on, he spent that whole time thinking up a great wish, and it really was a great one. You can't tell me that's not funny!"

No one in front of Cartman was laughing, but this time he did not really care. "Alright, how about you two?" Cartman asked, looking over at the girls standing side by side.

Nami turned to see Juvia standing behind her to one side, and Nami turned back to the Wizard King with a serious look in her eyes. She hesitated after taking a step, then she asked in a humble voice, "Could you possibly make it so the boys can't hear my wish?" Nami cupped a hand to her mouth and whispered, "Girl stuff."

The younger boys all made grossed-out noises and looked away like they did not want to hear anything about that anyway. Cartman had been reading their minds though, and he nodded and thought a wish to Juandissimo to block sound from behind an invisible wall that appeared right where Nami and Juvia just stepped through on their way towards him. Nami was walking ahead of the girl behind her whose expression was dark and was still staring at the floor in an upset way thinking about the way in which everything was happening today. "Can they hear us?" Nami asked, and she turned her head sideways only to see the boys behind them talking without their voices reaching her. "Guess not," she said, and the boys looked at her in surprise this time as they saw her mouth move but did not hear anything. Timmy took a step forward, but Nami held a hand up for him to stop, and the kid nodded at her as he figured this was what she wanted anyway.

"Are you ready?" The Wizard King asked in a booming voice.

"Yes," Nami said, though she had to clench her teeth hard after saying it in as respectful a tone she could manage.

Nami took a deep breath, then she steadied her gaze and said, "Juvia died recently." The girl behind Nami lifted her head and stared at Nami's back in slight confusion. "When she was brought back, she had something inside her that's making her need to kill people. Can you free her from that?"

Juvia's lips started trembling, then she spun from Nami and asked, "Could you make that a double wish? Like Usopp and Franky's?" They saw how Cartman went above and beyond to help the two who had asked him together, and Juvia felt hope flooding through her.

"Think you could do that?" Cartman asked his Fairy Godfather. Juvia looked away from the kid to the muscular Fairy with so much hope in her eyes, her hands clenching together in front of her chest while her lips quivered.

Juandissimo hummed as he looked the young woman up and down. He flexed his arms and his shirt ripped off, but he waved a muscular arm up and put it against his forehead with a regretful look on his face. "It would be too much magic! Healing such an ailment, is more difficult than bringing someone back from the brink of death!"

Nami's eyes widened as she thought about how Wanda looked after saving Timmy's life back on the first day. She remembered how Wanda had lost all the color to her body, how her hair turned gray and her wand dimmed. She glanced to her side and watched as all the hope in Juvia's eyes vanished. She bowed her head and a look darker than any formed on her face. Receiving that hope only to have it dashed so quickly, it caused an instant depression to set in. That depression quickly turned to anger thanks to the ailment Juandissimo was refusing to help with, and Cartman watched with amused eyes as the girl's expression flipped through every emotional color of the rainbow in a few seconds.

Nami smacked her hands down on Juvia's shoulders and made the younger girl with a snarl on her face snap her head up. Nami had a serious look in her eyes, but she spoke in a soft tone to try and calm her friend down, "Cheer up. Think about it for a second. This is the first day." Nami smiled at the girl who looked back so angrily at her, and Nami continued, "Could you imagine it? If on the same day Robin and I promised to help you, we actually got it done? That would have been crazy, and yet we still came close! In a single day, not even, we came closer than anything you've found since coming back, right?"

Juvia's furious look started to calm down a bit. Her back was to the boys in their group watching them, and Nami was leaning down in front of Juvia's face so hers was hard to see too except from the sides. None of them really knew what they were talking about, but Ben and Dash had a few guesses.

Nami continued to the girl in front of her whose face was lightening up, hope returning to it at what Nami was saying. "If on the first day we managed to get this close, then it's only a matter of time before we find a real wizard who can help us." Juvia nodded a few times back at Nami, and then the blue-haired mage's eyes opened wide and focused on something behind her friend. Nami spun around, and she stumbled backwards at the sight of the Wizard King floating in front of his chair, only a few feet behind her back, an enraged expression on his face.

"Cartman!" Stan ran through the invisible barrier and his voice was heard by the others in there. Timmy raced forward and got in front of Nami before the fat kid could get any closer, but Cartman was done flying forward anyway. He had his golden rod clenched tightly in his right hand, and both Butters and Juandissimo were looking at his back with nervous looks that unnerved the group in front of Cartman even more.

"I decided to let you have a wish, even though you were such a bitch!" Cartman shouted. "Disrespecting me in my own home. Demanding things from me without offering anything in exchange. I let those things slide through my unending mercy. Yet you! You have the audacity, to call me a fake wizard?!"

Ben and Dash gawked while spinning to Nami. Why would you do that?! They both thought at the woman.

"I-I, I didn't mean it like- I just meant a real wizard could- wait!" Nami exclaimed as in her panicked explanation she accidentally said the same thing again.

"Stay back Wizard King," Timmy growled, a powerful aura surrounding his body as Cartman's face twisted even angrier.

Cartman bared his teeth, but then he smirked and said, "Oh, she will pay." Poof! Nami vanished.

Timmy shot forward to grab Cartman by the front of his cloak. "What did you do with her?!" Timmy shouted.

"I sent her outside, with the others," Cartman said. Timmy opened his eyes wide in surprise, then he leaned back while letting go of Cartman's cloak at the look the kid gave him.

"Nami-" Juvia started, only to vanish in a puff of smoke too. Poof!

"I'm done with my generosity," the Wizard King said. He turned to Dash next and froze before swinging his rod in the blond kid's direction. "Ever come up with a wish?" He asked. Dash hesitated and opened his mouth, then he just shook his head slowly with a sad look on his face. "Alright, then that sucks, but nothing for you either." Cartman lifted his rod, then he paused before swinging it down. "Might as well tell you now. These three won't be joining you for a while." Dash looked up in confusion, and the other three boys still in there with him looked in at the fat boy in confusion. "I have things I need to further discuss with them. Tell your friends, and go find something to do for a few hours." Dash's mouth opened on his confused face, and that was the last thing the others saw before he vanished as well. Poof!

"What do you still need with us?" Timmy asked the kid in front of him.

"Eh, different things for each of you," Cartman lowered to the floor, and he dropped his golden rod before lifting that hand back up expectantly. Juandissimo disappeared in a puff of smoke and reappeared as a purple staff that Cartman grabbed by the middle just below the staff's mouth and eyes. "We're gonna have a feast and talk. Let's go Butters," Cartman added, and the kid still back by the throne ran over to Cartman's side. He tapped the butt of the purple staff down on the ground below him, and the five boys disappeared.

Outside of the castle, Nami walked down the front steps with Juvia towards the giant ship parked off the side of the long marble path in front of them. Riku stood below the truck next to the rope ladder that was already tossed down so Nami did not have to worry about how to get up there. The girls stopped their conversation, as Juvia was asking about how they were going to find a wizard strong enough to heal her if even a Fairy could not do it, but Nami said before they got too close to Riku. "Don't worry. It'll work out, I promise." Juvia smiled softly, then Nami called out in an annoyed voice to the man they were walking towards, "No wishes for us either."

"Me neither," a voice said between the girls who spun in and saw a small kid with blond hair suddenly standing between them. The wind rushed into them a second later from Dash sprinting their way and stopping short. "He also told me to tell everyone that he's keeping Timmy, Ben, and Stan for a little longer. He didn't tell me why before poofing me away."

Riku looked over Dash's head back to the castle they just left. He frowned deeply and took a step forward, but Nami spun back to him and held up her hands. "Relax, relax, I don't think he's going to try anything."

"Yeah," Dash said in a quiet voice. "I agree. He sounded like he needed to talk to them, but he said they'd be out in a couple of hours."

Riku rubbed his forehead and thought about what he should do. Nami took another step so she was right in front of him, and Riku looked down to see a reassuring look on her face, "I really pissed him off, and he just sent me out here. Same with you," she added with a laugh. "So I think he'll be okay." She said, referring to Ben who she figured Riku was the most worried about. Riku sighed but nodded at her with a small smile to show he agreed. Nami glanced over her shoulder back at the castle, And I know Timmy won't get caught again, not after that scolding… Nami sniffed and turned away from the castle to walk to the ladder, and Dash and Juvia followed after her while pretending like they did not see that sad look on her face a second ago. I can't be nice to him all the time. He needed some tough love too, but that might have been too harsh, Nami's expression softened. I'll make it up to him, she thought as she finally climbed up into the truck's open door.

As soon as she got through the door, she smelled something delicious coming from up the stairs next to her. Sanji's voice called out over the intercom, "Food's almost ready! Can't believe that kid put the kitchen exactly the way it was when the ship blew up. All the food too," Sanji's voice cut off the intercom as he was mainly talking to himself at that point while looking around his kitchen in amazement.

Nami smiled and started walking down the hall after hearing Sanji's announcement. As she walked though, she got a nervous look on her face, because Nico Robin stood outside their bedroom door with an anxious expression on her own face. Robin spotted Nami walking her way and the archaeologist turned before wincing and glancing back in their room apologetically. "Huh? Hey Robin, what's with that look?" Nami asked, her voice cracking as she sped up. Juvia has just climbed into the truck too, and she started running over as it seemed like there was something wrong with their room.

Nami reached the door first and ran inside, and Juvia reached next and looked through the entrance to see that everything looked fine. She could see her bed from the entrance and saw her bag at the foot of it and some clothes hanging up on hangers in her open closet door. "AHH!" Nami yelled in fury, and Juvia ran through the door and spun towards Nami. The orange-haired woman was standing there with a horrified look on her face. Her part of the room was empty: no bed, no bags, no clothes, no jewels or gold or money. "I don't- I don't get-" "Oh, she will pay." He couldn't mean… "No no no," Nami whispered, falling to her knees and letting out a hoarse sob. "All my, everything," she whispered.

"Nami?" Juvia asked from behind her.

Robin just walked over to her side and put a comforting hand down on Nami's shoulder. "I'll let you borrow some clothes," she offered.

"And Nami can share my bed tonight," Juvia added, making Nami turn back with a quivering lip but a grateful look on her face.

Nami calmed herself down and then turned back to her empty part of the room. Her initial depression over all the loss started to transfer to something else. Nami could imagine the short fat kid laughing at her right now, and she snarled, "Fucking brat."

A/N Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed the chapter! I almost changed the title 'cause I thought it would spoil the chapter, but then I thought maybe people might think I was just talking about Timmy, plus I thought gave some hope for getting Kairi back too... even if that hope was false XD. Anyway, Cartman grants a few wishes like returning the ship to normal, giving Timmy his hat back, a stuffed dog, etc. Goku, Dash, Sora, and Timmy all rejoin the group, though Cartman has a few things he needs to talk about with Timmy, Ben, and Stan before he says he can let them leave. This chapter's winding down, only two parts left actually, and the final one isn't even really in the same arc. The Wizard King's flashbacks will come next chapter along with some other stuff. I hope everyone liked the parts in this chapter about Nexus' lore and some new information on Fairies. I tried to make sure each character in the part got their own moments, even though there are a lot of them which is probably why the chapter wound up being so long. Now that the whole group is pretty much back together though, what will their next moves be? What does Cartman want to talk about with the other boys? Find out next time on Nexus Heroes Will Rise Chapter 13-7 The Wizard King!

Limit-Breaking chapter 93 . Apr 9

I never thought i would see the day where ben would be acting like the grown up and telling natsu and luffy to stop messing around. Also you would think luffy may realize that he no longer lives in a world where oda is in control of him and that he can actually die because nexus is way different than his own world.
I still can't take cartman or the story chapters to seriously though, it feels kinda weird to be honest and doesn't really feel like a true and serious chapter since it's cartman and he is a joke character. Which just makes it harder and more weird to feel any sort of dread, I say this because he has always been that charcter where you can never really take seriously.
Yes he has have people killed before, but it's from south park, so it feels pretty weird to read this if im being honest. Im not saying your writing is bad it's just i can't really take the scenes seriously cause it's cartman.
As for meruem i found it kind of awkward to be honest, it was enjoyable seeing how strong he is but at the same time he was going up against cartman and that kinda made it feel unreal and ridiculous. Again im not saying your doing a bad job or anything like that if anything your writing is still on point, it's mainly me not being able to take this chapter and feel the same thing i felt in the previous chapters of this story. For example Gray and the group had split up and juvia was killed and they fought the league of assassin's that felt sad and really good to read.
It felt more serious, as well as the dread of them dying became fully possible and than it leads up to some crazy stuff that i was not expecting.
On the bright side i am glad to see meruem saiyan side coming out now, that will definetly make him a more interesting charcter in my opinion, since i always felt meruem in this story more as a heartless computer who always had no emotion, except for anger. But now we see him changing and having more emotions, him smiling more and wanting the urge to fight and test himself at least feels like he is developing like a charcter should.
Besides that i thought you were already in tokyo taking your classes or are you already there and are able to post more chapters from there. Besides that i hope to see another chapter soon, so we may get out of this part of the story, so that the group can finally start doing what they came to do and that's fight the ant king and help the resistance more.
Until next

Right when Ben was starting to act like a kid again too, he snaps back to his more mature/dark self. Admittedly, you're totally right with the Cartman thing. I made the stakes seem high in this chapter at first, but even this time we saw that Cartman was never really going to kill them, or maybe Juandissimo was never going to let him kill them. It's been nonstop serious chapters for so long with character deaths and betrayals and huge overhauls in the world structure, I figured it was about time to show that not everything's going to be that intense all the time. (Though when I thought back on it, I realized I hadn't had a calmer chapter like this one in all of Nexus from the very beginning, so I guess it would seem a little unusual). Cartman is tough to take seriously, because he really wasn't taking this very seriously either. He wasn't even all that mad at them, considering he went and offered them wishes at the end (even if it was just to mess with most of them). Meruem devouring a Saiyan mind was something Pitou was worried about, and Meruem was shown to know that what he did will have consequences, but we'll see if he's able to control his new Saiyan urges in the future... I am in Tokyo already and taking classes, but they're not as hard and time-consuming as I thought they would be so I've still had some time to write. And since I have wifi in my room, I can post from here XD. As for the DBS villain you mentioned in the second review, it will really come down to after I watch the movie. I've got no idea what the villain is right now, but there's a chance it could appear in Nexus. Then again, with the strength Goku is right now, that movie villain is going to be so strong it'd be impossible to just add as another side villain. We'll see. Thanks for reviewing!

joebob323 chapter 93 . Apr 10

I think my favorite part was the MAHOGANY! Was that real as an explanation or just some B.S.? It would be cool if it were real, cause that means DBZ Abridged Mr. Popo has the possibility making a cameo, we haven't seen him yet. Anyways, can't wait for the flashback!

XD Glad you liked that! I had had it in my notes for so long to add that into the story, probably since watching the after credits of that TFS episode. TFS is totally, kind of, canon. I have had the DBZ characters say Crapbaskets before, and I think the people around them might have actually started saying it after hearing them, (though I don't remember the last time I had anyone say it). Mr. Popo would def be awesome, especially since Super pretty much confirmed the TFS version of him with one of my favorite scenes in the show. No flashback for Cartman/Juandissimo/(maybe Butters?) this chapter, but we do get some more info on them, and the flashback will come in the next one! Thanks for the review!

asdf chapter 93 . Apr 11

Well at least Cartman didn't die. He needs to stay alive so he can piss off more people.
I almost forgot Rick is in this world somewhere probably cooking up plans and shit. And Meruem thought he was a God with prep time.
Hyping up Zodd huh? Is he gonna be like Sun Dipped or something?
Meruem seems to have the power of 2 Super Saiyan Gods from himself and Bardock. Which means that if they did fight Hit should be able to take him without much difficulty only because Mereum is SSG level and SSB level. It's not like they're gonna fight soon anyway, Turles would have to pay Hit a heft sum of money for that assassination.
Argh man I like Meruem! But he's so evil! You better give us a chapter with Komugi to make up for this!
Chuck Norris is not just a mere God. Hell each of the originals were probably formed from his chest hairs.

Man I wanna see Gohan again because we all know that he has the potential to far surpass Goku and Vegeta, hell his Mystic Form (without God Ki) was enough to match SSB level characters.
Jiren is probably somewhere meditating, he doesn't feel the need to involve himself in the squabbling of those weaker than him. Fucking arrogant prick.
I noticed this before but I forgot to mention it, is the Satan from Blue Exorcist an Original? He seems to be the only one who wants to intefere with the happenings in Nexus.
Another thing I just realised is that Toppo is a God of Destruction candidate but does that mean he's in the realm of Gods and not allowed to interfere on Nexus?
I wonder where Mihawk is or if he's ready for Shinigami Zoro.

Cartman- the most OP little asshole on Nexus XD Rick, Jiren, Zodd, Komugi, lots of characters I can still do a lot with. We've only heard of Komugi a couple of times in this story, but she was confirmed back earlier this chapter so we'll see when she shows up... Gohan's been out of the story for a while, but we'll see if he makes a comeback in this upcoming Second Third of the Aebrith Saga, because admittedly some other characters who have been gone for quite a while... eh, no spoilers ;). As for Satan being an Original, Meruem did call him that after Satan failed to take him over, and the Originals did claim that one of their kind did not stay in that Heaven realm with the rest of them... Toppo, Mihawk, other characters with the possibilities of appearing soon, but I won't confirm (or deny) anything. Thanks for the reviews, and hope you enjoyed the chapter!

kg833998 chapter 93 . Apr 13

good chapter as usual hey if Brook was still alive do you think his power would have worked on the reanimations in Metropolis the brook from one piece WHO YOU KILLED also I've notice we haven't seen a few characters from Hunter Hunter bisky hisoka ilumi I wonder we're they are oh and I'm pretty sure hisoka is gonna be out for blood for ant king blood

oh and also WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH SOUL EATER CHARACTERS MOSTLY ALL THE MAIN CHARACTERS HAVE SUFFERD EXCEPT LIZ AND KID AND PLEASE TELL ME KID AND LIZ ARE STILL ALIVE

I don't really know what you're asking with the reanimations thing. I don't know if Brook has any powers that can pull souls out of other people's bodies, that seems like more of Big Mom's thing, while his is just removing his own soul from his body. A lot of possible HxH characters can still be added, and there are many more who will be showing up in this story. We saw one of the Spider Troupe in Dressrosa, freed from being a toy, and Leorio was back on Awul since we saw him trying to help Leonardo before the Battle of Metropolis. Won't say where any of those you mentioned are... Soul Eater is pretty awesome, but it's tough to be on Nexus and not have suffered at this point (though it does seem like they're getting it pretty bad). Liz was actually the slave with King, Maka, and Soul, all of whom escaped with Merlin when she came to get King, so I mean there's some good for a lot of the Soul Eater folks. Won't say where the others are though... if they're even still... lol jk, maybe XD. Thanks for the reviews!

flo463 chapter 93 . 15h ago

happy to see Kirito (my favorite Sao character) is back!
having chakra is good but seen the king's powers, it remains drastically inadequate.
Kirito and the others are going to need a seriousness power-up!

Kirito almost gets a power-up with the return of his wings this chapter... too bad Cartman didn't connect them to him, just dropped them in his hands :(. Seems like most of the characters are seriously outmatched in this new world. We'll see what they do about that... Thanks for the review!
