A/N: After an unprecedented change in schedule(and history), we now return to our regularly scheduled program! Or have we?
Reviews:
MemeKing: Glad you enjoyed it. My only regret about the fighting game chapter was not being able to include some other gems(no pun intended) like Power Stone on the list. It always sucks when some really good ideas have to be left on the table. As for that last chapter, I've been trying to think of ways how to set this one up a bit, and that was what I came up with. It's no masterpiece by any means but it gets the job done.

Chris and the remaining contestants were seen in a completely different area than usual. An area far, far away from the island. In distance, and time.
"Last time on Total Drama Across the Multiverse! It was a day of fisticuffs as another challenge from Multiverse Edition returns to this season, that challenge being the Mortal Kombat challenge. Though now teams would enter the world of fighting games to duke it out. That's right, not just Mortal Kombat would be included here. Tons of fighting games had the chance of being included!"
Footage of Chris explaining the challenge for the day was shown.
"And there were a ton that played a least a small part in this challenge. If you want to see which ones, just check out the episode. It's way too many for me to name here in this one recap."
Footage of the challenge was shown.
"Heck, even some old faces that were either eliminated or from a previous season got to come back for a bit and help out. But when it was all said and done, it was the current face of Albedo that was able to secure his team the win for the challenge. But, it wasn't all good. For him at least. His chances of becoming the Grand Champion were taken from him by Lotte, who won the same number of games as he did, the tiebreaker being rock,paper, scissors. And, to no one's surprise, he wasn't happy about it. But I mean, when you lose out on a chance for immunity as rare as those opportunities are, who wouldn't be?"
Footage of Albedo winning the challenge by bowling over the remaining opponents as Ultimate Cannonbolt was shown along with the rock, paper, scissors game between Lotte and Albedo, with the latter demanding a second game, one that Chris denied.
"And then there's the second benefit of being the Grand Champion, which would be revealed during the elimination ceremony, which, by the way is a double elimination. As I explained to Lotte, she herself would have the choice to eliminate any contestant from the losing team. But doing so would waive the voting choices for said team. The other one would still stand though. And her choice, was Ben. And by extension, Rook. Pretty funny how that's the second time he's been sent home when he's been on here. And both times have been because of his Omnitrix. Looks like this is a case of 'with great power, comes great threat potential'."
Footage of Lotte choosing Ben(and Rook) to leave, was shown.
"The other one? That was Julie. Back to the aftermath you go! If they take you back."
Footage of Julie's elimination was also shown.
"Speaking of which, we're about due for another one of those I think. Think it'd be good to see how some of our eliminated contestants feel about now. But for right now, I'm sure you're dying to wonder what exactly are these new digs we're in. Well, good news for you is that you're about to find out, on today's episode of Total….Drama….Across the Multiverse!"
"Alright, I'm back." Trunks said, with Rick alongside him.
"Good, then we can get started." Chronoa, the Supreme Kai of Time said.
"Hold it!" Chris said.
"What now? I allowed you to do your recap. What else could you possibly need to do?" She asked impatiently.
"An intro of course! Don't worry, it's not gonna take that long. And, you get to be in it."
"What!? We don't have time for that!" Trunks said, in disbelief that Chris would even propose something like that in the situation that they're in.
"…Okay. Go ahead. But make it quick!" Chronoa said to Chris.
"What? You can't seriously be going along with this!"
"He said it'll be quick. So, I'll have to take him up on his word."
"Why do I get the feeling you only agreed to do it because Chris said you're in it?"
"Nonsense! Well….. I guess maybe a little. But, if he's lying, I can always punish him." She said before turning to Chris. "Well, what are you waiting for?"
"Right! Cue the intro folks!" Chris exclaimed.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Title Theme Plays for this special intro
The screen cuts to several of the remaining contestants' faces, in serious expressions from throughout any of the seasons they competed in.
After enough were seen, several scenes of them going against one another or an outside guest were seen, which even included moments from the previous episode, from Zero's Genmu Zero against Jotaro, Lucy and Sophie battling each other in the Crucible Mayhem challenge, Yulaw against Eliza in that same challenge, Din in the Grimm challenge, Aomine jumping over Morty and more.
A shot of Trunks with a serious glare on his face was also seen before he was seen walking with Rick, a scene that was just seen moments ago.
Shots of Chronoa introducing herself to the contestants in Multiverse Edition was seen along with her initial reappearance in this current episode.
The fusion of Tien and Yamcha fusing into Tiencha was seen next, along with the robofusions of Toxsa and Ryoma and Lydendor with Tributon.
Shots of Agon, Vilius, Yulaw as Superman as his eyes were seen glowing red, Megatron slamming the ground and Ryu Kaizel were shown.
A unique scene transition where Ryu seemingly attacks the screen was seen to switch to a montage of the remaining contestants getting into arguments with one another, an eliminated contestant or someone else, with the last scene of Kaz arguing with Shiro suddenly having a scope on them. This scope having been an effect added to transition to the next scene.
That scene being Chef targeting someone with a sniper in the spy challenge from Multiverse Edition, with similar shots of Heloise and Doyle looking at something.
Second to last scenes were shown of remaining contestants powering up, including Natsu in the Supervillain Lockdown challenge, Toxsa going into Elemental Titan Mode, X using the Ultimate Armor in the Mayhem challenge, Blaze becoming Beast Morphers Red Ranger, Albedo turning into Ultimate Humungosaur, and Eliza activating a gate card before transitioning to the final scenes.
These scenes being Jotaro rapidly punching Haizaki with his Stand, Natsu and Bravenwolf finishing off Vilius, Megatron, Devastator and Menasor being defeated and Ryu being pushed into the sun before Chris was seen grinning with a sparkle from his teeth was shown as the camera zoomed out to the remaining cast in the Time Vault, with the name of the show being seen right above coming out of a scroll.

Today's Challenge Inspirations: Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 & 2 Video Games
My own Dragon Ball Xenoverse Fanfic Just Another Chance
Several other sources that's just too many to name here
Special Guests for Today's Episode:
Chronoa(Dragon Ball Xenoverse/Dragon Ball Heroes/Dragon Ball Online)(The latter is where she originates from as that was the first time she's ever been mentioned in anything. However, all three are completely different continuities. Her Xenoverse self will be used)
Trunks(Dragon Ball)
Several other appearances that are in the different pieces of history visited
A/N: This chapter takes place during the events of the base Xenoverse 2 game(I've only taken a look at a bit of the base story for the sake of this chapter and haven't seen anything about the DLC or the rest of the base story yet. I'd rather not spoil myself too much so I can see how the story plays out when I actually start playing the game after I finish the rest of XV1).
My reason for making the decision to change it was after reinstalling Xenoverse 1 so I could refresh my memory a bit for writing this chapter. I realized that I actually finished all of the GT DLC story as well and just forgot I did it. I know I haven't bought the Resurrection F DLC yet, but that doesn't even come with legit story missions like the two GT Packs did, so it's a non-factor for me making the decision to move the time placement ahead a bit. Without further ado, let's get started with the chapter!
"Well? Is it finally over?" Trunks asked.
"Uh…. Just give it a few more seconds." Chris said. A few more seconds pass before he gives a thumbs up. "Okay, now it is."
"Good. Then we can get started."
"That's great and all, but first, let's make sure the audience knows what's going on. So, if you'll please give a rundown on what everyone's doing here today."
"Supreme Kai of Time do we really have to do this? All of this is just wasting more time that we don't have much of."
"Well, I can see where both of you are coming from. Okay, I'll allow it. But that's it. Nothing else! Be lucky that I'm showing grace when you're the reason all of this is happening in the first place." Chronoa said, the last part to Chris.
"Yeah, I think we've all established that this is on me." Chris said.
"Considering how you're acting in all of this, it doesn't seem like it's been established enough." Rally said.
"What do you expect me to do? I'm the host. I can't act all doom and gloom in front of the camera."
"Chris, I really suggest you stop talking. Now." Rick warned.
"Okay, okay! Sheesh."
"Well can you blame him for acting like that? His grandson is gone!" Rally said.
"Everyone, please. I know tensions are running high, and understandably so, but if we're going to get closer to fixing this, we need to actually start moving forwards. Not backwards." Huey said.
"He's right. Okay, let's get started. A just a brief recap. From the beginning." Trunks began. "Chris was contacted by The Supreme Kai of Time for a potential challenge. That challenge involving going on a few patrols to help out the growing Time Patrol. With the threat of Towa and Mira changing history, there just weren't enough trained members yet to take care of all of the smaller distortions in history."
"Sure, they wouldn't be easy, but I still think they're strong enough to take these missions on." Chronoa interjected. "So, I showed Chris around and explained to him how all of this works exactly. But….. then I got sidetracked because I forgot I had cookies in the oven. Which got burned by the way. But anyways, when I came back, Chris decided to see firsthand how a distortion looked instead of telling me about it. That was all it took for the making of a disaster. Mira and Towa found him, saw he had the scroll and took it from him, along with taking him too to try to find out what he knew about me, Trunks and the rest of the Time Patrol. Thankfully, it wasn't that much. The biggest thing was that I didn't feel the need to show or tell him anything about the security protecting this place at the time of me showing him around. Otherwise, things would be worse than they are now. The last time they got in here they almost succeeded in killing all of us."
"I was able to get Chris back and prevent the two from killing him along with my partner fixing the distortion, but they still have his knowledge about other universes. And Towa used that knowledge to find a way for her to travel through time in not just this universe, but multiple, and creating several distortions in history."
"Distortions that you guys are going to help clean up. We've already got some of our more experienced Time Patrollers to deal with the more powerful threats. Which leaves the rest to you all. Your job is to purge these events of whatever's changing them. Once you do that and history's back on track, I'll be able to do the rest in repairing it." Chronoa concluded.
"Yep! That's pretty much it! The team that can get the most events fixed wins! And, if you find the guys that tried to kill me and take them out, that's also an insta-win and-" Chris started.
"Hold on a second. Having them fix these events is one thing. But asking them to take on Mira and Towa is another. If you see them, don't try to chase after them if they run. Chances are, they're leading you into a trap. We don't want to make things worse than they already are. Or put you in danger. Which brings me to another thing that I forgot to bring up to you guys at all." Chronoa said.
"Mira and Towa are an evil time travelling duo that are distorting multiple parts of history for their own personal gain. Towa is the sister of Demon King Dabura and Mira is of Towa's creation. She's used the energy they've gathered from these distortions to power him and give him moves from multiple fighters across history. But they want to use the energy they gather for more than just that. For what exactly, we're not sure yet. But, we do know that at one point, they recruited Lord Slug, Turles, and Bardock to help them in their plans." Chronoa added.
"Bardock? What? I get the others but I don't think he'd do something like that. He went against Frieza. There's no way he'd work for them." Kagami said.
"You're right. Lord Slug and Turles were easy for them to sway since Towa could convince them of revenge on Goku. And extra power. But, we believe that Bardock is under some sort of mind control. When my partner and I fought him back when Goku first went against Lord Beerus, a part of his mask broke off. And that was how I recognized that it was him. Whatever Towa did to him, it definitely made him stronger than he ever was than when he went against Frieza." Trunks said.
"Which is exactly why you should avoid fighting them at all costs. If you find them, Trunks will come in and take care of it. You just worry about fixing the distortions. Don't stress yourselves about strength too much. I asked Chris to bring in the same suits you guys used to battle in for the Mayhem challenge so they could be looked at and modified with Capsule Corp tech. Granted, they won't make you God slayers or anything, but they'll definitely help out those that need them." Chronoa said. "In fact, there's one more thing I want to add to this too. I want even some of those that were eliminated to come back just for today. And along with that, Doyle, Chef and Heloise will all lend a hand too. Chris?"
"Really?" Chris said. "Just because this happened a couple of times doesn't mean I'm making that a common thing."
"Well, you're going to make it happen today. Refusing this is refusal to follow a God's decree. Remember that this is the only way you're getting out of your punishment for illegal time travel. Trunks served his this way no problem, and so can you. But, there's always the chance you can double up if you don't want to."
"You're really gonna hold that over my head aren't you? Alright, fine. I'll go get em." Chris said.
***Confessional***
Chronoa:
"The only reasons I'm allowing him to serve his sentence this way is because one, he did allow me to share my cooking for one challenge to people in different universes. No one else has ever presented that opportunity for me so that really means a lot. And two….. illegal time travel actually isn't a real law. So yeah, I actually lied to Trunks about that. Even when I let him go, I still never told him about that. I mean, he served his sentence right? So, no need to tell him. No harm, no foul."
"So why would I lie you ask? I needed someone I could reliably trust to help out with something like this. And what better than someone that's time traveled multiple times? And two, it honestly gets pretty lonely up here. Yeah there's TokiToki, but that's not the same. Gods can have feelings too you know. Being a Lord of Time seems fun, but in reality, it's kinda boring. Would you feel like looking through scrolls all day making sure history is preserved?"
"I know it's weird for me to say this considering why the group needed to be made, but making the Time Patrol has actually made things a lot less boring around the Time Nest. And made my work easier since they can take care of the minor stuff I used to need to do on my own while I take care of other things. Even the Old Kai comes around here to visit at times too. And without those events happening, I wouldn't be able to share my cooking with the multiverse. And the best part is, even with all of that, history is still preserved. Well, not right now but, I think you get what I mean. So, it all works out!"
***End Confessional***
Moments later, Chris returned with a few eliminated contestants. These contestants being Vergil and Richie, Team RWBY, Penny, Jenny Wakeman, Becky Botsford, Luz, Falcon, Zak, Nimona, Cicini, Rei and Rocky.
"YEAHHHHH! GUESS WHO'S BACK MOTHER-" Nimona yelled before Richie covered her mouth.
"Alright, let's curb that enthusiasm just a little bit." He said to her.
"Yeah. I wouldn't really mind if the reasons we were back were under better circumstances. Like the last challenge." Rei said.
"Uh, I wasn't in the last challenge."
"You get what I meant."
"Wait, that's it? I understand not bringing back everyone but I would have thought Ben and Rex would have been here at least." Dwayne said.
"Yeah. I wanted to laugh personally in Ben's face." Yang said.
"Tried to contact em. Couldn't get a hold of either. They might be busy." Chris said.
"He's right. I tried with Ben. Nothing." Zak S. said before he and his Smoke Mirror self suddenly started to look as if you could see through them a bit.
"Zak, why does it look like I can….. see through you?" Doyle asked.
"See through me? What?" He replied before looking at himself and seeing exactly what he was talking about.
"What the heck is going on? I don't know how, but this has to be your fault." Zak M. said, pointing to him.
"What? I just got here and the first thing you do is blame me for is something I didn't even know was happening!?"
"It's them! It has to be! They're changing your history!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Well, let's hurry up and change it back!" Both Zaks said simultaneously, which caused them to awkwardly look at one another.
"That's easier said than done when there's so many changes." Chronoa said.
"You mean I'm going to get erased from time and there's nothing I can do about it!?" Zak S. said, frantically.
"Forget him, why me!? If you think I'm going to just sit back and let myself basically die while you take who knows how long to fix this, you're crazy." Zak M. said.
"You've got no choice but to stay here. You're ephemeral. If you try going through time like that, there's a chance you'll make things worse for yourself." Chronoa said.
"Unless you've ever felt like this, I don't think you know that yourself."
"She hasn't, but I have. Both of your histories might have been changed. But don't worry, we'll fix it." Trunks said. "We'll fix all of it!"
"Well? Are you going to get to fixing it or are you going to just stand there?"
"We're getting to that. Alright everyone, divide and conquer! Take a scroll, take a brief look at what's going on that's changed and good luck!" Chronoa said before personally handing three of them scrolls. "And try not to make your groups too big. At most six of you should be good enough for one event of time. We want to be efficient at this as well. The more we can have fixing these events the better."
"If any of you find that scroll, give it to me. I'm going in." Rick said to everyone, one of the scrolls in hand.
Trunks didn't even have to ask to know what he was talking about. And several others caught on too, also having that same understanding.
Ryoma opened the scroll that was in his hand to take a look at the event.
Age 764, Earth, Universe 7(Dragon Ball)
But when he gets there, he's shocked to find Chiaotzu and Piccolo dead with Vegeta, Gohan and Krillin on their last legs, with Yamcha having just been strangled to death by Frieza via his tail.
Mecha Frieza discards him, tossing him aside.
"Y-YAMCHAAAAAAA!" Bulma screamed out.
"You monster! You'll pay!" An injured Tien declared.
"Not with broken hands I won't." Mecha Frieza said.
"What-" Tien started before he suddenly teleported in front of him and kneed him before crushing his hands the same way Goku did to him with Tien yelling out in pain. "Now tell me, with your hands being unable to work, how exactly will you improvise? In fact, I'll actually let you get ten free hits on me if you can."
"Darn it! He knows we can't beat him so he's just toying with us!" Vegeta thought, one eye half-closed.
Tien hits him multiple times with the strongest attacks he could, but none of them worked.
"And that is your ten hits. What a shame. I was nice enough to give you open attacks with no catch. And you decided to squander that opportunity. Seems like you're ungrateful."
"You… I'M NOT-" Tien started before he was quickly hit with a Death Beam to his chest, causing him to fall to the ground, dead.
"TIEN!" Krillin yelled out.
"Ungratefulness does not go unpunished." Frieza said.
Vegeta was kicked by King Cold after the latter punched the former in the face before he stepped on his head. "Look at you. The prince under our heel. I suppose you really are following in your father's footsteps." He said before laughing.
"Laugh all you want! When Kakarot gets here-" Vegeta started before King Cold stepped on his head multiple times repeatedly.
"I don't believe I gave you permission to speak."
"DAD! PLEASE!" Gohan was heard yelling out.
"Yes. Call daddy to his doom." Frieza said before laughing.
But Gohan's plea wasn't answered. And when Trunks arrived from the future to meet the Z-Fighters and kill Frieza, who he knew was going to arrive around this point in time, he was stunned to find all of them dead. He looked back at Frieza.
"And who might you be?" Frieza asked.
"The one that's going to end you right here and now Frieza!" Trunks said before turning Super Saiyan.
"Ooh, a Super Saiyan. But, these weaklings here have exhausted me to boredom so I don't even feel like fighting you. Kill him." Frieza said, the last part an order to his soldiers, who was suddenly surrounded in a dark aura.
Even outnumbered, Trunks was able to punch, blast and fight his way through the soldiers. Though they proved to be a lot tougher than he expected.
"Enough games Frieza! I've killed all your soldiers! Now it's just you two and me." Trunks said, pointing his sword at him and King Cold.
"Quite the overconfidence for someone that struggled mightily against my Soldiers. Yes, they're under me so they're quite strong. But not as strong as me. So for a supposed 'Super Saiyan', they shouldn't be too much effort to take out I would think." Frieza said.
"If that's the case, you should have no problem taking me on, right? Both of you, come on!"
"He dare challenges us? How bold." King Cold said.
"And foolish." Frieza added, with him and his father also surrounded in a dark aura as their eyes glowed red for a second before they went at him.
They exchanged blows with one another quicker than the eye can see until Trunks seemingly had an opening. Until King Cold teleported behind him and smashed him to the ground, with Frieza mercilessly piling on with quick attacks with King Cold then picking him up and holding him up by one of his arms.
"This can't be….. how they have gotten this strong!? Even with Frieza's repairs they shouldn't be…." Trunks thought, stunned.
"What's the matter? Surprised by my power?" Frieza taunted. "Well, you'll be even more surprised by this." He said before preparing to perform his Death Wave/Fissure Slash, putting his middle and index finger together to create an energy sphere and then swing the sphere around in form of a razor-sharp energy blade and continued doing this repeatedly until he finished him off with an energy wave.
"Strange. I can easily recognize this piece of history. Since this is my own. Altered, but still, my own." Trunks said.
"The last time a piece of history related to you like this was changed, you were on the verge of being erased. So why isn't this the case now?" Chronoa said.
"I'm not sure. But let's not have them wait around too long to find out! Good luck everyone!"
"Wait! I forgot one more, super-duper important thing. Sorry." Chronoa said.
"What is it?" Falcon asked.
"There's nothing stopping Towa from deciding to corrupt you herself if you ever see her. I hope that doesn't happen, but I'd still like to make sure. Better to be safe than sorry and have in-fighting on our hands. I'm going to cast a spell that'll give you resistance to her magic. Please hold still. This is a lot of people so it's going to take a lot of energy. I'd rather not make this harder, or longer than it has to be." Chronoa said before closing her eyes to concentrate as she placed her hands out as green energy began to surround all of them. This continued happening for a good minute before she stopped. "Okay. You're good to go! Now you're Towa-proof!" She said, giving a thumbs up.
No one responded. "What? Nothing? Come on, that wasn't that bad."
"It kinda was." Sly said.
"Whatever mister rule-breaker. You're lucky I don't punish you and Bennett for messing with time. I don't care the reason. Egypt, family. It's still illegal. And yes, projection still counts."
"Ha!" Reagan said.
"Does Cognito sound familiar?"
"Okay. I'll be quiet now."
Ryoma silently nodded and closed the scroll. He and Ayame would be the only ones that would take on this event as they both were teleported out to travel back to that point in time.
For Sly, Yang, Ruby they noticed an event of Optimus facing off against a powered-up Devastator and Decepticons by himself. And Rick, Rocky, Hiruma and Yulaw saw several taken overwhelming a trio of Guardians in the Cosmodrome on Earth.
Once they saw the events, they all closed their scrolls and closed them, teleporting out.
A/N: Notable weapons/exotics used by Rick, Hiruma, Yulaw and Rocky are:
Rick: Lorentz Driver Void Linear Fusion Rifle
Rocky: Tommy's Matchbook
Hiruma: Dragon's Breath
Yulaw: Cloudstrike Arc Sniper
You'll see what these four weapons do soon enough if you aren't familiar with the games(Or if you forgot what some of them did in the Mayhem episode)
Earth's Orbit(Destiny 1 & 2)
(Shiro-4 on Comms to a Fireteam of three Guardians): The House of Devils marked you as Public Enemy Number One after you trashed their Prime Servitor, but... Your old friend Sepiks Prime is back. And apparently better than ever, thanks to the Devil Splicers and SIVA. Zavala's not too happy about the idea of the Splicers playing god-maker. And I can't blame him.
(One of the Guardians' Ghosts, voiced by Peter Dinklage): So, what you're saying is it's time we returned to the scene of the crime. I'm sure the Fallen will be happy to see us.
A few seconds later, all three Guardians' ships land to the designated location of the Strike Mission.
Rocketyard
Plaguelands, Cosmodrome
Old Russia, Earth(Destiny 1: Rise of Iron DLC)
Three female Hunters, all wearing different types of armor landed in the Rocketyard from their ships. It was currently snowing.
"The new and improved Sepiks is holed up in the Devil's Lair. You know what to do." Shiro-4 said to the three on the comms.
On top of a train was a Fallen Splicer Vandal, a member of the Fallen enhanced by SIVA. This one in particular being a vandal and the two on the ground being Dregs.
The Guardians were able to easily take them out without too much issue and began to push ahead. More Splicers and now Hive were found, with the two fighting each other. A Hive Knight, two Acolytes, and a Brood Mother Wizard were present. The Brood Mother proved to have been the toughest to take out, firing at them with Arc Darkness Blasts as well. Eventually though, it was still able to be killed like the others.
"Hmm... the Hive are still holding ground in the Refinery, but I'm also detecting multiple SIVA signatures." A second Ghost said as they began to push ahead to the Refinery.(The second Ghost's VA is Anthony Del Rio, Blue Beetle's voice in Injustice 2)
After making their way up multiple flights of stairs, there was a hole in the wall. Hive forces were seen in the area.
Refinery
"Well... that's... new." The Dinklage-voiced Ghost commented.
"New area, same old enemies. Let's take em out!" One of the Hunters said. This Hunter in particular being a Gunslinger, allowing her to use Solar Abilities, including the Golden Gun.
Along with the Knights, and Acolytes, there were also Thrall running at them. The Knights and Acolytes all wielded void Hive Shredders. While they didn't do too much damage, it was still possible to overwhelmed if not careful enough.
One of the Hunters threw a spike grenade at the wall. Out of it came a torrent of void energy, damaging any enemy caught in the torrent. And the thralls that were killed by it clearly weren't smart enough to avoid it. An acolyte was also killed by it.
Once all of the Hive were defeated, they made their way back to where they normally would head when in the Refinery. Several Hive detaining traps could be seen.
"Lot more traps here than normal." One of the two void Nightstalker Hunters commented as they avoided or shot the traps to temporarily make them disappear. Unlike her fellow Nightstalker companion, she used a Vortex Grenade. And a Scout Rifle compared to the other's Hand Cannon and Fusion Rifle combo.
"If I'm dealing with Splicers, I'd probably try to come prepared too." The hunter that spoke earlier replied.
"Um... a little help?" The first Nightstalker Hunter said, detained.
"Just shoot it. You'll be fine."
Once she did that a few times, the trap disappeared and she was free to move. The noises of a battle were heard not too far from where they were. Once they got closer, they saw more Hive and Splicers fighting each other.
"Are you telling me you never knew that?" The Gunslinger asked.
"Clearly I didn't if I was asking for help." The first Nightstalker replied.
"Wow." The second one said.
"What? Okay, next time you don't know something apparently everyone else should know, I'm going to make sure I react the same way."
These forces of Hive and Splicers proved to be tougher than the last groups, especially the latter. There were Vandal Snipers, and a Captain with a void shield present.
The second Nightstalker switched to a void fusion rifle to quickly take down the captain's shield before using another to disintegrate it into void energy. Her teammates were able to take out the sniper Vandals. Which meant that all was left was the rest of the Hive, which was a couple of Acolytes and a Wizard.
Once those were taken care of, they turned their attention to where they needed to go next to find Sepiks. But it was blocked off by a grid of lasers.
"The Splicers have a laser grid blocking the way. I should be able to disable it. In the meantime, do not touch the lasers, and watch my back." The second Ghost said. The second Hunter takes out her ghost to let it access the Fallen Terminal and work on disabling the lasers.
To the surprise of none of the three, more enemies began to show up. But they weren't who they expected them to be. It was Hive. And lots of them.
"I got em." One of the Hunters said before activating her Golden Gun super, now surrounded in Solar Energy. Her weapon was replaced with a Hand Cannon made of Solar Energy. She shot the first Acolyte she saw in the head causing it to explode. She then shot a Knight in the head as well, also causing it to explode. But her third hit was on a shielded wizard. And while it was able to go down, it didn't explode like the first two did.
Using their grenades, teamwork and guns, they were able to take out all of the Hive that were in the area.
"Alright. I'm halfway there. But get ready. I'm picking some more Hive on the way. And they're going to be more-"
Darkness suddenly began to poison the air as blights began to appear.
"Taken? What's-"
"Let's not worry about that now. Just take them out Guardian!" The first Ghost exclaimed, speaking for the first time since the start of the mission as the Taken began to appear. These Taken being the enemies seen in Gambit as blockers and Primevals. (The first Ghost's VA is Erica Lindbeck)
Destiny: The Taken King Soundtrack- The Taken Plays
Two Taken Ogres, along with multiple Acolytes, Knights, blade Captains, Thralls, and Psions appeared alongside normal Hive forces.
The void Hunter cast her Shadowshot, creating a bow and arrow made of pure void energy and shot it at the ground in the middle of several of the enemies, tethering all of them. They were disoriented and weakened, causing them to be more susceptible to all damage while tethered, along with sharing any damage they took with anyone else that was tethered. They were also marked for the three to see.
The Golden Gun hunter threw an incendiary grenade at the group while the Shadowshot hunter threw another torrent grenade, taking several of the tethered enemies out. Or at least causing a significant amount of damage.
Another Shadowshot was casted, tethering even more enemies as the first tether was about to leave. However, the Captain was able to quickly move away from the tether and escape it's reach.
But they weren't the only problem. There were Taken Vandal snipers from up above on the area they were initially in before hacking the door that were about to be able to get clean hits on the unsuspecting trio, the three targeting the Gunslinger... if they weren't shot in the back of the head multiple times before they disappeared. Multiple rockets were seen landing on the ground and hitting their mark, exploding and taking out several more hive and taken.
The fireteam looked up and saw the source: Rick, Rocky, Hiruma and Yulaw.
"Usually a Guardian Strike team is 3. What gives?" The first Hunter said.
"Are we really just going to question help when the Taken just appeared out of nowhere?" The third Hunter asked.
"Knight, behind you!" The second hunter called out as a Knight with a sword was running up on her. Before either could do anything to stop it, it was shot in the head a couple of times by Hiruma via a sniper, staggering it before the first void hunter used her fusion rifle to finish it off. Once the last few hiding acolytes were taken out, there seemed to have been no more reinforcements.
"Thanks but... I guess Shiro didn't tell you a Strike Team was already covering this mission." The Golden Gun Hunter said.
"Not part of a Strike Team. We're just here to make sure you make it through this alive." Hiruma said.
"So, like bodyguards huh? Alright."
A few seconds later, the last layer of the laser grid was heard shutting down.
"Alright, the grid's down! Let's get out of here!" The second Ghost said.
Music Stops
"Shiro, we've got taken in here." The first void hunter said.
"Taken? Are you sure? They've never been spotted in the Plaguelands." Shiro-4 said.
"Positive. They showed up out of nowhere in the Refinery. We were able to take them out though. Now we're pushing ahead."
"Hmm... if the Taken are here that can't be good. At all. I'll let Zavala and Ikora know about this. If you see anything else, let me know."
"Got it. Also, did you happen to send an extra trio of guardians to help us?"
"No, I didn't. Maybe Zavala did. Or it's a case of a second trio not knowing this Strike Mission's already been claimed. Regardless, considering the circumstances, I wouldn't turn down help."
"Alright. Well, fellow us." She said to the new trio.
Steel City(Transformers Devastation)
While exploring Steel City, Sly, Ruby and Yang had run into Decepticon Ground Soldiers.
Transformers: Devastation Soundtrack- Decepticon Plays
Trunks and Chronoa had advised them to take the Decepticons out as Optimus should be arriving at some point to take care of them himself. But until then, they would need to hold out.
And they seemed to have been able to do that just as, if not as well as when these Decepticons were enemies in the Supervillain Lockdown challenge.
Sly jumped on the head of a Decepticon attempting to do a side slash with his sword before using his own sword that he found to attack back and make quick work of the grunt.
Ruby had grabbed one of the Soldiers with her scythe before spinning it and sending him flying into a couple of others before shooting all of them.
Yang slid under one of them, to his surprise before she hit it with multiple shots of her Ember Celica and then following it up with the flaming fisticuffs that she had found, hitting him with quick punches until he was down for the count.
One of them ran at her from behind before performing a short overhead slash at Ruby. But considering how he was audibly charging at her, it was too easy for her to move out of the way and shoot him point-blank in the face multiple times before he was shot again. But the shot wasn't from her. The source being Optimus in the distance.
"It's Optimus! Take him out!" One of the soldiers called out.
"Well, it's about time you showed up." Yang said to him.
"I'm not sure what you're doing here, but, you seem to be more than capable of fending for yourselves. Let's finish this!" Prime said.
Taking him out proved to have easier said than done, as he masterfully using his fists, Energon Axe and Ion Blaster to take out the Decepticons that came after him. When one of them attempted to put up an energy shield, he quickly transformed and rammed through the shield, with both he and Yang hitting him together with uppercuts and finishing him off as he was sent into a building. Optimus then used his axe again to take out the last soldier.
Music Stops
"Alright. It looks like that's the last of them. I am very grateful for your assistance. But I think I'll take it from here." Optimus said.
"While I'm sure we'd love nothing than to just leave, we can't do that just yet." Sly said to him.
Blasts and explosions were heard down a street not too far from them. When they looked in that area, a man, blade in hand was seen quickly running down the street before moving out of the way of a lunge from what seemed to have been an insect. Once he dodged the lunge, he performed, a perfect slice to cut it in half before it exploded. An explosion of purple energy from the body a larger insect-like robot sent him into a wall.
The robot prepared to aim its blaster at him, but he had other ideas, recovering in enough time to avoid the blasts.
"A friend of yours?" Optimus asked.
"Never seen him until today." Yang answered.
"Even so, an enemy of an enemy-" Ruby started.
"Is a friend. Of course you want to help him. Not like I have a problem with it but still, can't forget what we came here for." Yang said. "Trunks, what do you think? Should we help him?"
"Insecticons..." Optimus said before transforming and driving to help the man himself.
"I'm not familiar with these events, so I'm afraid I won't be too much help. I can only go off what's in the scrolls. However, Optimus seems like he recognizes who he's fighting. So it's probably a good idea to help him out." Trunks replied from back at the Time Nest before noticing the purple aura periodically coming from one of the larger ones. "That aura! They're being affected by Towa's magic! You should definitely help him now. With her magic, they'll be stronger and faster than normal."
"Well, you heard him." Sly said.
Stains of the Insecticons (Metal Gear Rising vs. Transformers Devastation) Plays
The three join Optimus and the stranger against the Decepticons. The man had long white-blonde hair, a visor over his left eye and had an exoskeleton, which were signs of cybernetic enhancements to his body.
As the action continued, Chronoa watched back at the Time Nest along with Trunks and Chris.
"So far, so good." Chronoa commented, hand still under her chin as she closely observed what was happening in them.
"Too bad your face doesn't match that optimism." Chris said.
"Like I said, so far. It's way too early to be happy. I think I'll start to feel a little better after a few of them come back."
Focusing back on the battle with the Insecticons, the stranger, with impressive acrobatics, jumped over one of the sticky explosive projectiles that one of them attempted to shoot at him before slicing said insecticon in half before he landed.
One of the taller Insecticons attempted to kick Optimus, but he was able to dodge the attack and parry the quick uppercut that it tried right after.
"You'll have to do better than that." Optimus said before responding in kind with his own uppercut before quickly changing into his vehicle form and ramming him.
"So, exactly how much stronger are these guys supposed to be? Because if Sly can take them on it can't be that much. No offense to him obviously." Yang asked Trunks and Chronoa.
One of the Insecticons was prepared to disperse another wave of energy from his body to hit everyone in the area with it.
"I don't think so!" The stranger said, running at him quickly, sword in hand before stopping on a dime right in front of him and quickly slicing all over his body before sparks came from it as he fell to the ground, defeated.
"Well, to answer your question, it all depends on who it is. Someone weaker wouldn't exactly benefit from the effects too much compared to someone much stronger. There would still be a difference regardless, but again, it's probably a lot clearer the stronger the ones that were affected are." Chronoa said to Yang. "That, and it also depends on how much extra energy was given to them. I recall that when Hercule was affected by her magic, he was able to fly on his own. When in normal circumstances, he's not capable of doing that."
"I don't think we should keep them around long enough to find out if they have any extra tricks." Ruby said, having to use her semblance to get her out of trouble as the Insecticons' attacks were quicker than what she expected. Though because they were distracted by her, it allowed Sly free reign to be able to sneak and hit them before retreating again to make some distance to plan his next attack.
"My thoughts exactly!" Optimus said before slamming the ground hard and creating a shockwave, sending several of the Insecticons flying, with the stranger taking out a couple of them after they hit a wall.
Before Yang could attempt to knock the head of one of them off with a clean punch to said body part, the man was able to run and slice him multiple times before that Insecticon fell to the ground as well, leaving no more to be seen in the area.
Music Stops
"I had that you know. You could at least save some for everyone else." Yang said to him.
"Well, if you really wanted it, you would have been a little faster." He replied.
"I was joking. But excuse me for not being able to punch like I'm Star Platinum."
"Now that that's taken care of, I need to find that Metal Gear." He said, seemingly ignoring Yang's remark.
"Metal what? Look, can you at least tell us your name?"
"Raiden. You don't know what a Metal Gear is?"
"Not until Octavia mentioned it once time. She said 'Metal Gear Solid'."
"Well, you'll know it when you see it. It got sucked into some kind of wormhole. I held on to it so I wouldn't lose it before it got sucked in. And you see how that turned out."
"A wormhole? That definitely means that he and whatever he's after isn't from here!" Trunks said, listening in on the whole conversation.
"That's probably Towa and Mira behind this too right?" Ruby asked.
"Excuse me?" Raiden said, confused before the ground started to shake.
"I think we can take a guess at what's coming." Sly said before Devastator was seen, peeking over a building.
"Devastator..." Optimus commented as the giant combiner vaulted over the building before landing, changing its fists to drills immediately after. A second later, another large machine appeared, sliding before coming to a stop beside Devastator.
"The Metal Gear!" Raiden said.
"Well, at least we get two birds with one stone." Yang said.
"If only they were actual birds instead of... that." Sly said as a red glow was seen in Devastator's eyes. A crimson aura surrounded the Metal Gear RAY before the inside of its mouth could be seen, which changed from its normal orange that housed its plasma cannon to the same crimson red to match the aura.
"This will be... a challenge." Optimus said, seemingly unfazed.
Devastating Nature (RULES OF NATURE X DEVASTATOR THEME) Plays
"One runt. Multiple! You're all still weak to me!" Devastator said to the group.
"Optimus cannot lose this battle! You have to help him hold Devastator off until he's hurt enough to be forced to retreat! And, protect Raiden as well!" Trunks said to the three.
"Easier said than done but, we'll find a way!" Ruby replied as Devastator shot a drill at them while RAY swiped its tail around the area, forcing all of them to quickly jump in the air to avoid it.
"Take this!" Devastator exclaimed before quickly kicking across the ground, kicking up cars, dust and dirt in the process.
"Go after their legs!" Raiden said to them as he slid under Devastator's attempt to grab him, quickly switching one of its drills back to a hand to do so. He quickly took advantage of the opening by hitting one of his legs several times with his sword before Devastator quickly turned around, the speed of the turnaround catching Raiden off guard and forcing a quick retreat. A quick retreat that would be tougher with the missiles RAY sent all of their way.
Sly used his acrobatics to dodge the missiles, Optimus used his truck form to evade them, Ruby used her semblance, and Raiden was able to run quick enough to avoid them. The same with Yang. Though the latter's slower speed reared its ugly head as the explosions from one of them caused her to fall forward to the ground.
"SAY GOODNIGHT!" Devastator said before putting her foot down to stomp on her. Though the foot was stopped by Raiden, who was trying his hardest to hold it up.
As soon as she saw this, she immediately got from under the foot, with Raiden being grabbed by Ruby about a second later in her semblance. Devastator, foot now down, was visibly annoyed at his attempt to crush Yang was thwarted. By someone as small as Raiden at that.
"Thanks." Yang said to him.
"You want to thank me, make sure you don't get caught in a bad spot like that again." Raiden said, as he was slicing at one of RAY's legs, dodging a stomp from it.
"Right. I know that had to hurt. Now let's return the favor, five times as hard!" She exclaimed, her eyes lit up.
RAY attempted to fire its plasma cannon at them, going from left to right multiple times as Devastator attempted to aggressively attack them with his drills, rapidly punching the ground multiple times. But unbelievably, he hit no one. The same with the RAY as they got to higher ground on one of the buildings to avoid the laser attack.
Devastator was hit numerous times in the head by shots from Optimus and Ruby, quickly staying on the move as they did. The combiner grunted in annoyance before changing his drills back to hands and taking out his own rifle, shooting back. Though his shots were a lot more explosive compared to theirs. Literally. Optimus wasn't quick enough to avoid one of the shots and he was knocked off the building. The fall wasn't pleasant, but he's been through worse. He quickly regained his bearings and set his sights back on Devastator as Raiden and Yang seemed to have had RAY occupied.
"What's wrong? Is running all you're good for?" Devastator taunted Ruby as she was trying to use her speed to avoid the his blaster shots as she moved from down the building and back to the ground.
"Well, speed is my semblance. But it's not all I'm good at! I'm also a great diversion maker!" She replied.
"Diversion? For w-" Devastator was disoriented before he could finish, as explosions were seen where his head was. Explosions courtesy of Sly, who reappeared back into vision. He stumbled but it was the RAY that inadvertently knocked him down with its attempted head lunge at Yang missing.
Seeing the opening presented to them, the five quickly tried to take as much advantage of it as possible, attacking both. Devastator, clearly p*ssed, grabbed the first person he could reach. That person being Raiden.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME!?" Devastator roared out, with Raiden attempting to break free. Though he was hit in the back of the head by rockets from Ruby via the rocket launcher she found. He quickly threw Raiden into one of the buildings before turning his attention back to the others. "It's gonna take a lot more than that to take me down! Try harder!"
"Well it's a good thing we don't have to do that." Ruby commented.
"Don't worry about Raiden. He's alright. Just keep fighting! He wouldn't be this annoyed if you weren't actually doing something against him." Chronoa said as Raiden was starting to get back up.
"That's it. Now you've made me mad." Raiden said before picking his sword back up and running back to rejoin the fight.

Age 764, Earth, Universe 7(Dragon Ball; Unknown Timeline)
"Destructo Disc!" Krillin yelled out, sending said move a Frieza Soldier's way, who moved out of the way of it easily.
"Heh, you call that an attack? That wasn't even close." The soldier said. But a second later, the saucer came back and went right through his body, leaving the soldier stunned before his body split in two, one upper-half and one lower-half and each half falling to ground shortly after.
"Heh. From where I'm standing, it looked close enough."
"HA!" Yamcha yelled out, hitting a Frieza Soldier directly in the chest with a double palmed strike like at the end of his Wolf-Fanged Fist attack. It wasn't enough to kill like Krillin, but it did knock him down.
Ayame, in her Power Change form, kicked a Frieza Soldier directly in the face. And while it clearly hurt, it wasn't enough to knock him down as he grabbed her by her leg and slammed her down to the ground.
"You must be outta your mind if you thought I was gonna lose to someone like you." The soldier said, charging his wrist blaster to fire an energy wave until a smoke bomb was thrown in his face, disorienting him, even with a scouter. "You annoying little b*tch!" He said, eyes closed as the smoke had gotten in and irritated them.
Ayame was already back up on her feet. She and Ryoma were helping the Z-Fighters hold their own against Frieza's men. But it wasn't easy.
As Trunks had pointed out back at the time nest, these soldiers were strong initially, but there was still a chance the Z-Fighters could take them. But with Towa's magic powering them up and there surprisingly being more men than what Trunks could recall when he was there, it was only a matter of time until the Z-Fighters were either overwhelmed or Frieza stepped in to kill them himself, taking full advantage of them being exhausted.
So, Ayame and Ryoma's mission was clear: Help protect the Z-Fighters and hold the line long enough for this Age's Trunks to arrive and kill Frieza and his father, King Cold, as history should occur.
Ryoma's katana clashed with the fist of a Frieza Soldier. The former was also in his Power Change form.
"You think you can stand up to his punk? Huh!?" The soldier said to him. Ryoma didn't respond. "No words huh? Looks like I'm gonna have to beat some manners into you!" He attempted to knee Ryoma in the stomach hard. With the feeling he had felt from his knee, he knew the attack hit its target.
"Yeah. I bet you really don't got nothin' to say to that don't ya!" The soldier said, preparing to back away to finish him off with an energy wave. Until he looked down and saw that what he hit wasn't Ryoma's body. It was the hilt of his other sword. He was surprised but that quickly wore off as he smirked. "I bet you think you're pretty clever with a move like that. Well clever can't beat power!" He prepared to headbutt him but was kicked into a mountain by Vegeta, with him sending an energy blast the soldier's way for good measure.
"If you're going to just have a nice chit-chat with the enemy then leave! It's bad enough I have to deal with these other burdens as it is." Vegeta said before flying off to fight more soldiers.
"That fool. If only he knew." Ryoma said aloud.
"Even if you told him anything about Frieza's men getting stronger he wouldn't believe you. That's just how my father is. He's a very prideful person. Struggling against Frieza's Soldiers of all people is frustrating to him, even if he won't say it out loud." Trunks said to Ryoma. "Regardless of what he says though, you have to stay focused. Hopefully, the version of me from that time period should be arriving pretty soon."
"Can you be specific on how soon?" Ayame asked him as she tried to fend off two Frieza soldiers now, including the one that she disoriented earlier that was clearly angry with her.
"If everything goes how it's supposed to, within minutes."
Piccolo dodged constant blasts from three Frieza soldiers as they laughed maniacally as they attempted to blast him.
"I don't know why you're tryin' to dodge. The sooner you die the sooner you get to join your planet!" One of the soldiers said to him before one of the blasts was able to eventually get close enough to their target and knock him down.
"Mr. Piccolo!" Gohan yelled out, seeing he was in trouble.
"Hey! You don't worry about him. You worry about-" The soldier he was fighting that looked like an orange recolor of Appule before getting kicked in the stomach, causing him to clutch it in pain and allowing Gohan to turn towards the three soldiers, with one holding Piccolo up as the others continuously punched and kneed him.
"MASENKO HA!" The soldiers turned and saw the energy wave and quickly moved, leaving Piccolo, who was able to see the blast just in time to deflect it with one of his hands. Ryoma was able to take out all three with a Swift Strike attack.
"Thanks." Piccolo said to him, with him reply with a nod. "As for you, think before you attack!" He said to Gohan.
"R-right. Sorry." Gohan said before the two turned their attention on more soldiers.
"Dodon Ray!" Both Chiaotzu and Tien said simultaneously, combining their attacks on one Frieza soldier, with Vegeta finishing him off with an energy blast.
"The fact that even with the combined effort of the two of you, you still can't destroy one soldier is a testament to how weak both of you are. Sometimes I wonder why you were even brought back to life." Vegeta remarked.
"Just like I wonder every day I see you why Goku spared yours." Tien replied.
"From word of mouth I assume. Considering what happened to you then you weren't much seeing of anything out of any of those three eyes. And neither was your friend there. To be honest, I completely forgot about him until now."
"You b*stard."
"Oh? Did I hurt your feelings? If you really think I don't deserve this life then why don't you take it after we deal with Frieza? Oh wait, you won't because you know I'll take both of your arms this time, unlike Nappa!"
"One of these days Vegeta..."
"Again, I'm readily available any time!"
"Yeah. Probably because it's not like you got anything else going for you."
"I do. I'm a Prince! Unlike you!"
"If that's the case, then how come you're letting Bulma pick out what you wear?"
Vegeta blocks a punch from a soldier before punching him in the gut and then unleashing an energy wave in his chest, killing the soldier. "What's that supposed to mean!?"
"I don't know. You're a smart guy. Figure it out." Tien said as he elbowed a soldier before kicking another.
"Even in the past, Vegeta still has that same attitude." Ayame noted.
"Oh right. You guys never learned about Vegeta and his past before he stayed on Earth. I honestly think that if the one that first came to Earth with Nappa met the Vegeta of today, he'd think he wouldn't be able to recognize himself. I mean, look at how he treats Bulma. I don't think the one from the past would do any of the things the one now does." Chronoa said to them.
"Stop bickering like children and focus!" Piccolo said, chopping a soldier from behind.
"You want to act all high and mighty when you're in the same boat as us right now!" Chiaotzu said to Vegeta. "And apparently on Namek too."
"Heh. Yeah, he definitely got you there." Yamcha said.
"Shut up! I don't know why I'm arguing with the people that didn't even live to see what happened on Namek." Vegeta said.
"We're in danger of getting killed and you guys are out here trying to one-up each other in banter." Krillin said, who couldn't help but smirk about it.
"And you think that's funny you idiot!?" Piccolo said, swaying to dodge a punch from a soldier before grabbing the soldiers arm and throwing him into the air.
"A little bit, yeah."
"Tch. You know, sometimes I wonder if Vegeta was onto something."
"Well if you really thought that, you wouldn't have been willing to hang with us for years since the Saiyans." Yamcha said, smiling as he performed a hammerhead smash on a soldier, sending him flying to the ground.
"Helping you fight is not hanging out with you! There's a difference!" Piccolo said, taking his aggravation out on a helpless soldier before using a Destructive Demon Wave to completely annihilate him.
"THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! I'M EXHAUSTED FROM HAVING TO COVER YOUR IDIOT AS-" Vegeta yelled out before the soldier he was about to attack was blasted into oblivion. "What? Who did that!?"
Dragon Ball Z Bruce Faulconer Soundtrack- Trunks Appears Plays
He turned and saw someone completely new enter the battle. He had lavender hair and wore yellow and black boots, black pants with a yellow belt, and a jacket with the Capsule Corp. Logo on the left arm over a black tank top. The new addition wasted no time in making his presence felt as he attacked other soldiers and making quick work of them.
"I'm guessing you're a friend of those two over there?" Tien asked the stranger as they fought side-by-side for a bit, referring to Ryoma and Ayame.
"No. Never seen them before. Which is... strange actually. Regardless, you can trust me. I'm here to help." He replied.
"Well, you've certainly been doing that so far. Which is fine by me."
In less than a minute, all of the remaining soldiers were taken care of.
Music Stops
"Okay, that's all of the soldiers. Stand by for now. With how history is supposed to go, I'm supposed to take on both Frieza and his father on my own." Trunks said to Ayame and Ryoma. "But don't leave just yet. If what I think is supposed to happen next is coming, then he...I, am definitely going to need your help."
"Well, it took you long enough. I was hoping they'd get at least one of you, but, I guess it wasn't meant to be. They can be easily replaced." Frieza said, shrugging.
"Dismissive of your own allies. I would say you disgust me, but with everything I've heard from you about the others, I'm not surprised that's how you feel about them." Yamcha said.
"If you're being paid to do a service, then I expect results. If they can't give me ones good enough, then they don't deserve that payment. Or to live. My battalion does not accept weaklings."
"Well said, my son." King Cold said.
"Son? Wait a second, that taller guy's Frieza's dad!?" Krillin said in surprise.
"Well, I can definitely see the resemblance." Piccolo commented.
"How a monster like him could have a son is crazy." Tien said.
"Such disrespect. I think we should teach him some manners. What do you think?" King Cold said to Frieza.
"Yes. I agree. Hope you had a nice warm-up, because where you're going, it's going to be even hotter." Frieza said to them. "Vegeta, Namekian, the small bald one. Have you told them how it is there?"
"Hey, I got a name you know!" Krillin said.
"Yes, yes, I'm aware. Your monkey friend put a great emphasis on me remembering it." Frieza said, balling a fist.
"And you'll be remembering my name too, when I send you there myself!" Vegeta declared to Frieza, which caused Frieza to laugh. "You think I'm joking!? Do you recall what happens to Saiyans and their strength?"
"Oh hush Vegeta. If you couldn't even handle my soldiers, you for sure can't handle me." Frieza said before looking at his wardrobe, which was the pink "Badman" shirt. "Though I must say... you certainly have an... interesting sense of fashion. And fragrance. How was I not aware of this side of you until. I suppose this is what a little time to let your hair down and express yourself has allowed. Fu fu fu fu fu."
"THAT'S IT!" Vegeta started before Trunks stopped him, sword blocking his path.
"I'll take care of him. And his father. On my own." He said.
"WHAT!?" Vegeta yelled out, offended that a complete stranger dared block his path.
"Frieza. His father. I'm ending the both of them. For good."
"Now wait just a minute! Don't think just because you showed up and beat a few weaklings that you can just beat Frieza and deny me my revenge!"
"Vegeta, if they're such weaklings, then what does that make you? These weaklings seemed to have worn you out." Frieza said.
"You think you can continue to mock me!?"
"As a matter of fact, yes, I do. Just like on Namek. Perhaps even worse."
"You say this as half of your body is made up of scraps like some hideous concoction. Say what you will about me dying or this stupid shirt but at least I don't have to walk around looking like that. And knowing that you'll never be able to get the chance to get back at the person that made you quiver in fear. Think about it. You came all this way to this backwater planet, gathered these men, and was willing to walk around with a bunch of trash to replace your body parts, just because of what one 'lowly monkey' did to you. Make no mistake, I despise you Frieza. And I'd love nothing more than to blast a whole into your chest. Then your head. And then blast you into ashes as you beg for your life. A plea that I will wholeheartedly reject with a smile on my face as I do. But, it never got to any point that I would be willing to do anything close than what you've done for my revenge. So, who really got embarrassed more Frieza?"
"You insolent little worm. If you're begging for me to kill you then why didn't you say so before!" Frieza snapped before sending a death beam Vegeta's way.
A death beam that was blocked by Trunks via his sword.
"I could have dodged that!" Vegeta said to him.
"Alright, while I can't say I don't admire the banter, I think it's about time we get this over with. I've got other things to take care of that are way more important than you two." He said to them.
"You dare be dismissive of us?" King Cold said to him.
"Quite the opposite actually. If I didn't take you seriously, I wouldn't feel the need to transform. You wanted a Super Saiyan, right? Well, I think I'll be a good enough substitute."
Frieza and King Cold laughed. "Quite the comedian this one is." King Cold said.
"Yes. Indeed. But unfortunately, I think this joke has gone on long enough. Comparing yourself to a Super Saiyan? Laughable. Now, I think it's about time I-" Frieza stopped the second he noticed the multitude pebbles flying past him. And noticed they were coming from Trunks.

"No... h-he's lying. I-it can't be!" Frieza said, a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
The Z-Fighters, Vegeta and Bulma were all in shock as well, with Ryoma and Ayame also looking on.
"Impossible. That's impossible!" Vegeta thought. "This boy... he can't be a..."
"What is this!?" King Cold said, sensing his power level steadily increasing to alarming levels.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Trunks yelled out as the ground began to shake, with his hair beginning to point upwards.
"No...no!" Frieza thought.
"Incredible! This guy..." Tien said, feeling his power level increase.
Golden aura and lightning began to surround Trunks' body as he continued to power up until his hair concluded its color and style change to that of a Super Saiyan's.
"His eyes... they're the same!" Frieza said aloud as he backed away in fear, seeing the eyes and face of Goku in Trunks', with his father noticing this and then looking back at Trunks.
"So... this is the Super Saiyan." King Cold commented.
"I would let you get some free hits in but-" Trunks started until Frieza, suddenly surrounded by purple aure, blasted him directly with an energy wave, causing a large explosion.
"Oh no!" Ayame started, preparing to intervene.
"Wait! Not just yet." Xeno Trunks said to her.
"Well, I think that should do it. That was a tad bit disappointing. Very anti-climatic." King Cold said to Frieza.
"Yes. I suppose it was. Oh well. All show. And nothing to... show for it." Frieza said before laughing. "Oh I crack myself up." He then looked shocked when the dust began to clear. All of the Z-Fighters were still standing but cleared out. While Frieza's main target, Trunks was also standing as well, seemingly undamaged.
"Now, that was pretty rude of you Frieza. And in front of your own father too. I guess he didn't teach you any manners. Then again, when you run around calling people monkeys so brazenly, I guess I shouldn't expect too much from you." Trunks said, aura still surrounding him.
"I call it like I see it! And what you are is a monkey!" Frieza said before raising a finger in the air and preparing to gather energy for a Supernova. "DO YOU HEAR ME! I AM THE MIGHTY FRI-" He was kicked in the gut by Trunks, causing Frieza to clutch it in pain. "You... why you...!" He said, still in pain.
"Like I said, if I was on schedule, I would have let you get that off as one of your free hits. But, with you being here earlier than I anticipated..." He then looked at the Z-Fighters. "And after what you've done to the others, I owe it not just to myself, but to them, to finish off you off right here and no-" Trunks was suddenly kicked to the ground by someone.

"Hmph. Having trouble... little brother?" The figure said, smirking. He had an appearance similar to Frieza's. Though in his case, his skin was purple, he was taller, and he had armor-like carapaces on his chest, shoulders, shins and head.
"Cooler? I didn't expect you to be here." King Cold said.
"What? There's two of them now!?" Yamcha said.
"Yeah. As if one wasn't bad enough. Now we're finding out he has a brother..." Tien added.
"A brother that's just as if not stronger than Frieza. And those soldiers already tired us out while Cooler's fresh. This isn't good at all." Piccolo said, low.
"Cooler? Here? That's just great. And Goku hasn't arrived yet." Xeno Trunks commented.
The Trunks from the current period they were in looked up at Cooler.
"Cooler may be Frieza's brother, but in terms of history, he doesn't belong here. This is Towa and Mira's doing! You're going to have to step in and fight Cooler! You might not be able to beat him but at least try to hold him off until Goku gets here! Once he does, he should be more than enough help to finish off Frieza, Cooler and King Cold." Xeno Trunks said to the pair.
Being given the signal, Ryoma and Ayame immediately joined in to fight Cooler, who used an explosive wave to sending them both back.
"Well? What are you guys waiting for? If they're fightin', then I am too!" Yamcha said to the others, prompting all of the others to join in on the fight.
Cooler looked at all of them and grin before his eyes glowed red. "So, you've all come to meet your doom I see. Well then, who am I to deny a death wish!?"
"You're the one with a death wish. I guess I'll have to make an even bigger dent in the family bloodline." Trunks said.
"We'll see about that. Father, if you don't mind, stay out of this. This is between me and my brother."
"I see. Well, if that's what you want." King Cold said before ascending and flying back a bit, gaining enough distance for him to watch.
"Oh no you don't!" Vegeta said before he was stopped cold by Cooler, hitting him square in the cheek and sending him into the ground.
Drowning Pool- Reminded Instrumental Plays
"As I said, this is between me, and my brother." Cooler repeated.
The fight began, with Cooler and Frieza showing they were more than capable of handling them all, even at a number disadvantage.
Frieza had tossed Piccolo into Gohan.
Trunks and Ryoma were rapidly exchanging blows with Cooler, swords against fist until he blocked both of their attacks at the same time, holding them back before his eyes glowed as he shot eye beams at both of them, blowing them away with the attack.
Tien attempted to catch Cooler by surprise with an attack from behind, but the alien effortlessly teleported behind him without changing his position before hitting him in the back of his neck in the blink of an eye and then sending an energy ball into the back of his body, sending him flying and back to where Bulma was.
"Tien! Are you okay?" She asked.
"At the rate we're going... we-" He didn't even get to finish before he fell unconscious. Alive, but still unconscious.
Ayame unleashed a flurry of attacks on Frieza that looked as if it was hard for him to keep up with until he suddenly kneed her in her stomach so hard, the wind was knocked out of her.
"FOOL!" Vegeta said, appearing right in front of him in an instant and kicked him. Only for Frieza to block the kick and then grab him with his tail by the neck.
"Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm. This looks like such a familiar sight, isn't it Vegeta? I remember it like it was yesterday." Frieza said, clearly taking delight in choking him.
"When I get out of this-" Vegeta started before he tightened his grip on his neck.
Krillin attempted to intervene but was stopped by Cooler, causing the Earthling to be terrified.
"What's the matter? Aren't you going to attack me?" Cooler taunted. This snapped Krillin out of it as he made some distance to prepare for a destructo-disc attack. But as he was concentrating on where to throw it to, he realized his target was gone. And felt Cooler right behind him. He didn't even want to turn his head around. But it didn't matter as Cooler grabbed him by his arm and twisted it, causing Krillin to scream in pain.
"What's the matter? It's just one arm. You still have the other!" Cooler taunted.
"KRILLIN! GET AWAY FROM HIM! SPIRIT... BALL!" Yamcha yelled out. The ball charged before going at Cooler, with it hitting him multiple times, causing him to reel from each hit as he couldn't get away before the last attack knocked him down.
Before Yamcha could even get a chance to check on Krillin, Cooler was back standing.
"An interesting attack. Now, try this!" Cooler said before firing his own energy ball at Yamcha, one that he was able to dodge easily. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to dodge Cooler himself as he proved to have been too fast, quickly punching and kicking him multiple times before grabbing him by his leg and throwing him to the ground hard.
Music Stops
"This is crazy. It's like Frieza's power level increased all of a sudden. What's going on!?" Gohan said.
"The aura around them. It's... sinister. Frieza, his brother and his father were already evil but their aura never felt that way." Piccolo noted.
"So this is the Super Saiyan that you've had so much trouble killing?" Cooler said to Frieza after the former disarmed Trunks and sent him back again. Ayame was knocked out and had reverted back to her normal self, with Ryoma being hurt as well.
"I had it under control, thank you very much. And by the way, this is not the same Saiyan that did this to me." Frieza replied.
"They all look the same to me, so I can't tell the difference. They're all monkeys. Monkeys that have turned you into a hideous shell of your former self. I mean just look at you!"
"How about instead of mocking me for my appearance, you help me out in finishing these fools."
"I only wish you would have suggested that sooner. Fighting these weaklings was an absolute waste of my time. And I don't like my time to be wasted!" Cooler said before gathering energy for a Death Ball.
"Hmm, I was hoping to leave their bodies here for him to see. But, I suppose his planet in ruins works too." Frieza said before preparing to charge his own Death Ball.
"If that hits, the planet will be destroyed!" Both versions of Trunks said simultaneously.
"We have to stop it!" Ryoma said.
A couple of seconds later, a spaceship was heard approaching land.
"What is that?" Cooler asked as the ship landed.
"It's Goku! He's here!" Xeno Trunks exclaimed.
Krillin, even with a hurt arm, after feeling a power level from the ship, had a wide grin on his face.
"Goku! He's back!" Krillin exclaimed. "You're in trouble now Frieza! You too Cooler!"
"Enough of your nonsense." Cooler said, preparing to unleash the attack before Frieza stopped him. "What are you doing?"
"The monkey that did this to me. He is in that ship that just landed." Frieza said.
"I see." Cooler said before deciding not to use his Death Ball and discharged the energy.
Goku, in Yardrat armor quickly arrived to the scene of the battle and saw several of his friends either unconscious or seriously hurt.
"Goku, you're back!" Bulma exclaimed.
"Yeah. And it looks like I'm just in time too." He flew over a bit more to where Trunks and Ryoma were to confront Frieza and Cooler.
"So, you're the Saiyan that defeated my brother." Cooler said to him.
"Brother huh? So, it looks like you brought your family to back you up. And I'm willing to guess the third one back there is your old man?"
"Yes. My father is here to watch us annihilate you with his own two eyes." Frieza said to him.
"Is that so? We'll see about that." Goku said before looking at Trunks and Ryoma. "I don't know who you two are but, thanks for helping out my friends while I was gone. For that, I owe you one. As a matter of fact, how about I start the repayment right now by going full power from the jump?"
Goku immediately powers up into a Super Saiyan.
Frieza had a brief look of fear on his face before he snapped out of it quickly. Cooler wasn't one to not be observant and laughed. "This is who you're afraid of? Laughable." He then turned to Goku and the others. "Needless to say, your power isn't anything to scoff at. I can see, without even fighting, why you gave my brother so much trouble. However... the same can't be said for me." He then points upward with his index finger. "For I have one more transformation to make, unlike him. One that will blow this 'Super Saiyan' form out of the water!" He powers up to transform. Though because of Towa's dark magic, the transformation completed faster than expected. His height increased, along with his muscle mass. He also had four horns on his head, a spike on each forearm and a white tip on his tail, taking on the same appearance that Octavia had when she was this final form.
"Now, let's begin!" Cooler declared, sliding the bio-visor over his mouth, which then caused his voice to echo.
"This is it. Frieza, Cooler and King Cold have to die here for us to correct history! Give it everything you've got!" Xeno Trunks said.
Meanwhile on the Cosmodrome...
The six had just defeated a Splicer Walker Tank, along with a Taken Cabal Colossus and a myriad of smaller Splicer, Taken and Hive forces in The Blast area and were making their way towards The Devil's Lair. The three Hunters changed their weapons. The Gunslinger was now using a pulse rifle and the Regenerating Ammo Solar Sniper, Ice Breaker along with a Rocket Launcher for heavy. The first Nightstalker was using the Zhalo Supercell Arc Auto Rifle, a weapon that could chain arc lightning to nearby enemies and a shotgun and a Rocket Launcher herself. And the second Nightstalker was now using the Ace of Spades Hand Cannon, a void fusion rifle and a Solar Machine Gun.
Rick, Yulaw, Hiruma and Rocky were still using the same weapons as they were initially using before.
"That... was a lot of Hive. And Taken." The third Ghost said before looking at Rocky, who had several burn marks from the Tommy's Matchbook burning him. "Are you okay?"
"You're asking me that question when we just killed like a crap ton of... what are those things again?" Rocky said.
"Didn't we establish that al- never mind. Just keep killing them." The second ghost said to him.
"Say no more!" He replied, saluting.
"That much Taken is very concerning. If they were to ever corrupt the Splicers... I don't even wanna think about the results. Ikora told me that this is probably a play to take Sepiks for themselves. It's the only logical explanation she could think of for why the Taken would be here. Get in there and take out Sepiks before this gets any worse than it already is." Shiro-4 said to them.
The Devil's Lair(Destiny 1 Rise of Iron Expansion)
"The Taken? Or Mira and Towa? My money's on those two. Regardless, your objective is still the same. Take it home guys!" Chronoa said to the four.
When they got to the entrance of the lair, it was already open. And the Taken had already corrupted the air, signaling their presence in the lair as well along with the several pools of blight along some parts of the ground and the walls.
A very large red spherical machine known as a Servitor, was floating in the air and was easily the largest thing in the lair. It was firing at some of the Taken with red rapid-fire red blasts from its mechanical eye, which was the middle of the Prime Servitor. And also notably, it's only weak spot. Along with it were several other splicer forces attempting to repel the Taken forces, including Shanks, Dregs, Vandals and Captains.
Destiny Rise of Iron Soundtrack- Sepiks Redux By Bulb/Misha Mansoor Plays
(This song was not composed by the usual composing team that makes the Destiny soundtrack. It's a fan cover of Sepiks' first theme from the vanilla Destiny 1. However, Misha's cover made it into the first game's official soundtrack as the theme for Sepiks in this reworked/remastered Strike for its final expansion, Rise of Iron!)
"Great. Looks like they beat us to it." The Gunslinger Hunter said.
"All that means is that you'll have more enemies to kill. Take out Sepiks before they take him!" Shiro-4 said.
The second they started firing at Sepiks or the others was the second that they had gotten both Taken and Splicers' attention.
Rocky, to no one's surprise, completely disregarded use of his other two weapon options in favor of the Tommy's Matchbook, burning himself as he shot it, but also scorching any enemy that he was able to hit with it. When several enemies started to target him, the Gunslinger Hunter had to pull him behnd cover in one of the small rooms by a flight of stairs. In said room was another flight of stairs that led under where the seven entered the lair.
"You keep that up, you're going to get yourself killed." The Hunter said to him.
"Hey, it worked out for me every other time." Rocky said, shrugging.
"Except this isn't every other time. I'm not trying to discourage you. I'm just saying, be more strategic. As in don't do it with a million other enemies all shooting at you."
"Sounds like every other time to me."
This response only caused the Hunter to sigh and shake her head as several explosions were heard outside. Those explosions being Hiruma shooting a Dragon's Breath Napalm shot in a group with several enemies while shooting another at Sepiks itself. The ignitions causing every single enemy affected to visibly stagger or be sent reeling, even Sepiks. And, if one listened close enough, it sounded as if a real dragon was heard roaring on the final explosions of each shot.
About a second later, multiple void Electromagnetic Implosions were heard as enemies around these implosions were pulled in to take additional damage from them. These implosions being kills from Rick with the Lorentz Driver.
Yulaw punched a Dreg, sending it flying into a wall before picking up a Shank and throwing it into a Taken Wizard that had started to create Shadow Thralls that ran to attack anyone that wasn't Taken.
"Just imagine how much easier this would be if we didn't have to deal with Taken on top of SIVA." The first Nightstalker Hunter said as she drove a knife into multiple Shadow Thralls.
"Behind you!" Yulaw called out, referring to Sepiks, who had just teleported behind her and created a red beam that pulled in to its eye, which started to continuously drain her shields. She quickly used a Shadestep, briefly turning into a shadow as she rolled backwards to get out of the draining attack.
But while he was warning her, he wasn't even aware of the Invisible Vex Minotaur behind him that was preparing to run up and hit him from behind. That is until Rick shot it in its eyes, staggering it and causing the corrupted Vex to reveal itself before Yulaw got the hint and quickly performed a sweep to trip it up before shooting it in its eye multiple times with the kinetic hand cannon he was using to kill it which, like every other minor Taken enemy, completely disappeared.
A Splicer Skiff appeared a few seconds later which began to immediately fire its guns as Fallen Splicer reinforcements began to come out of the ship. The ship along with Sepiks had done a number on Hiruma's shields, forcing him to have to take cover in the same room that Rocky and the Gunslinger were in earlier to recover them. And eventually, the others joined him. They were safe from the ship, but because of the window opening, they were still in the line of fire of some of the Splicers as a couple of Shanks, Dregs and Vandals began to shoot at them.
"Fire in the hole!" The first Nightstalker called out before she threw a grenade which was able to take out several of them.
"Alright Rocky, get ready to let loose!" The first Nightstalker said as she ran our od the room and used her Shadowshot on a large group of enemies, tethering all of them.
The cat wasted no time in unleashing the fiery rounds from the Tommy's Matchbook again on anything that moves. And it didn't take long for a chain of ignitions to be seen, wiping out a large number of enemies.
"Well... I'm certainly glad he's on our side." The second ghost commented.
"You and me both. Why does he get to be the only one with a gun that can do that?" Its Guardian replied.
A vandal attempted to punch Rick but he ducked the attack before shooting it in the body multiple times with an Auto Rifle. He then joined in with Yulaw and the Gunslinger Hunter in shooting Sepiks in its eye with the Lorentz Driver. Lightning Strikes created by the Cloudstrike along with a lighting storm and explosive solar rounds from the Ice Breaker were seen afflicting Sepiks as well until it eventually put up a void shield to protect itself. One that couldn't be broken by gunfire or even the Golden Gun.
"Great. That was a waste." She said, after using the third and last shot on a Taken Knight, causing it to explode.
Three different Splicer Captains appeared out of doors. One with a Null Cannon, one with an Arc Cannon, and another with a Solar Scorch Cannon.
The second Nightstalker took care of the three Captains with her Fusion Rifle and Machine gun quickly before they became a problem and then used the Zhalo supercell to take care of the exploder shanks via the lightning chaining.
"If I had to guess, each of these cannons-" She started before Rocky shot at Sepiks with the Scorch Cannon, which did nothing but change its shield to arc and cause reinforcements to appear. A few seconds later, a couple of blights also appeared, with the Gunslinger being caught in one of them, now Shadow Touched, slowing her movement and stopping her shield regen.
"Shi-" She started before being downed by a Taken Captain who fired multiple rapid-fire Arc Shrapnel cannon shots at her. Now she had to wait for a resurrection, either from her Ghost, which would take about 30 seconds, or a revive from one of her fireteam members.
"We'll take care of them. Go get her!" Rick said to the second Nightstalker.
"Way ahead of you." She replied before shooting the blight to destroy it and then throwing down a smoke bomb to turn invisible and revive her. After a few seconds, her teammate was revived as she reappeared, slightly off the ground a bit before landing.
Yulaw swiped the Null Cannon out of Rocky's hands before he could shoot it.
"I think I'll hold onto this." He said to him, which only caused Rocky to shrug before focusing his attention back on the Taken.
"Thanks. Now, as I was saying, I think Sepiks' shield can only be brought down by a cannon matching the shield's element. It's the only thing that makes sense." The Gunslinger said. "Which means, pay attention to shield color before you just grab a cannon." Everyone, but seemingly Rocky knew why she was talking like that at the end.
"Yeah, I think it's best if you keep away from the cannons. If all three of them die, even if we take care of Sepiks, this'll still be considered a failure." Chronoa said to Rocky.
"Shield's down!" The first Nightstalker called out, finding and using the Arc Cannon to take down Sepiks' shield and forcing it back in the fight.
"Whatever heavy you guys have, unload it on Sepiks!" Rick said to the other six. "Rocky, you just work on keeping them off us."
"I'll help him." The Gunslinger said.
"Hold on a sec." The second Nightstalker said before shooting her Shadowshot directly on Sepiks. "Now!"
Everyone except Rocky and the Gunslinger unloaded on Sepiks, so much so that it struggled shooting back at times as it staggered.
It put up another shield in an attempt to protect itself. This one being arc again.
With the combined solar power of Rocky and the Gunslinger, the ads, Taken and Splicer alike, were a thing of the past.
The Gunslinger grabbed the arc cannon and shoots it at Sepiks, taking its shield down again, with it immediately raining down shots at her with a Skiff also coming in as well for reinforcements.
Yulaw grabbed the heads of a Taken Captain and a Splicer one and slammed them into each other. More explosive shanks came in with Yulaw shaking his head as he shot at them, with a couple of them close enough to where they still damaged his shields.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm really getting sick of Sepiks now. And the Taken." The first Nightstalker said.
"I couldn't agree more. And I'm not even there fighting. Finish Sepiks off so we can end this." Shiro-4 said.
"So you're sick of Sepiks huh?" Hiruma said before grinning, Dragon's Breath now in hand as he fired all of the Dragon's Breath ammo he had left at it.
"You know what? Screw it." The Gunslinger said before using her Golden Gun again to land all three shots right in its eye.
Rick unloaded his machine gun on it, beginning to yell like Rambo as he did, completely in the crossfire of his own teammates, the Taken and the Splicers, and ignoring all of it in an attempt to destroy Sepiks. Another ship was coming, but he didn't care. He continued to unload bullets into the machine God, not willing to stop until it was dead. And a few seconds later, it was as a large explosion was seen and heard from it along with a lightning storm. The scraps of the reborn machine was now on the ground as Sepiks was no more. The Taken and the Splicers began to retreat afterwards.
"Shiro, we've got it! Sepiks is eliminated!" The first ghost exclaimed.
"Nice work. And not a moment too soon. The Taken trying to get their hands on SIVA was not something I was expecting to talk about but, at least it's over now." He said.
"I guess they didn't factor us in their plans." The first Nightstalker said, smirking under her helmet.
"Underestimate us at their own peril I'd say. I don't know if the Taken will try something like this again but, you can bet we'll be around to throw a wrench in their plans if they do. And Guardians, you three make helluva wrenches."
"Give credit to these four too for their-" The Gunslinger started as she turned to the four, but realized they were gone. "-help too."
"Huh. I guess they decided to go back to orbit early." The second Nightstalker said.
City of Steel
Raiden and Optimus were seen blocking the RAY's blade before Raiden, with unprecedented strength, grabbed it and tossed the the entire RAY as his exoskeleton started to have electricity coming out of it for a few seconds before it returned to normal.
He then started to run towards the RAY, blade out as he was about to take advantage of the opening to break through more of its armor. Until Devastator blocked his way.
"Oh no you don't!" Devastator exclaimed before firing at him. And when that didn't work, he attempted to crush him with his drill hands, rapidly slamming on the ground again, but Raiden jumped on his arm and began running up it, which Devastator shut down by waving his hand away to try to knock him off. But to avoid this, Raiden jumped on the other arm.
"Ruby, shoot me up." Sly said.
"What?" The Huntress replied, confused.
"Your scythe. Just use it to propel me for-" Sly started until Yang suddenly threw him up towards Devastator, surprising him.
"Different method, same result." Yang said. "Now come on, let's deal with that Metal Gear."
With both Sly and Raiden running upwards along his body, he attempted to knock them off. but both were unwilling to let that happen, dodging his drills and whatever else he tried to get them off.
Once they were high enough, with Raiden being the first to get there, they both started to attack his head again. Raiden sliced him multiple times, while Sly shot him with a pair of electric pistols.
As for the RAY, the Huntresses along with Optimus seemed to have been doing a decent bit of damage to it, but not enough to knock it out as it prepared to get back up.
"I don't think so!" Optimus said before slamming the ground once again, creating a shockwave that caused some damage to it as well, but still not enough to take it out.
"What the heck is it gonna take for this thing to go down?" Yang said before Raiden was heard yelling with both the sword Sly used and his own, cutting through its head down the middle before Devastator fell to the ground on top of it, crushing the Metal Gear.
"Oh. Well, I think that'll be good enough."
"Alright! We got em! Wait, did we succeed or..." Ruby said.
A couple of seconds later, Devastator rose back up again. And to say he was mad was an understatement.
"I jinxed it, didn't I?"
"Damn, it's still alive?" Raiden said.
"Devastator, you're needed elsewhere. The others can handle the Autobots." Megatron said on his comms.
Suddenly, Devastator's eyes no longer glowed red. And any hint of the dark energy around his body was gone.
"Another time, Autobot." Devastator said to Optimus before retreating and eventually, splitting back apart into individual Constructicons.
"Optimus, I think I've spotted Megatron!" Bumblebee said to Optimus on comms.
"Keep an eye on him, but do not engage! I'll be right behind you." Optimus replied before turning to the others. "I thank you for your help against Devastator. It is much appreciated. Megatron however, is a completely different story. I ask that you leave that to me and the rest of the Autobots."
"I've gotta head off myself. With the Metal Gear down, I need to find a way to get back and protect the Prime Minister." Raiden said before running off in a different direction.
"Don't worry, once I merge the scrolls relating to this world's history together, Raiden will be back home as if this never happened. Although, he's going to have to fight that Metal Gear again. But, I guess one positive at least he won't remember having to fight it before?" Chronoa said. "Now, come on back-"
Starscream, transforming from his jet form landed on the ground, blade in hand.
"Sorry, if you're looking for Optimus, you just missed him." Sly said.
He grunted in anger as eyes glowed red for a few seconds. "Well then, I don't suppose you can tell me where he went do you?"
"Nope."
"I think you misunderstand. That wasn't a request." He said, now wielding his blade as if he was about to use it.
"His eyes... he's been affected by Dark Magic! I know you guys want to come back but please, you have to stop him from getting to Optimus!" Chronoa said.

"Sure thing." Yang said as Starscream quickly advanced towards them. She was the first to meet him as they clashed, grabbing ahold of each other's hands before Starscream smirked and quickly overpowered her, punching her hard and sending her into a building.
"This is your last chance. Tell me where Optimus is!" Starscream said to the other two.
"I literally have never understood why people like you tell us this as if it'll make us change our minds." Sly said.
"Then, if you won't tell me, I'll get it from your dead bodies! Prepare for your extermination!" He changed into his jet form and began to fire at them with rapid fire bullets and missiles a few seconds later before circling around to do the same thing.
"If there's one thing for sure, this is not the same Starscream like before." Sly said as the Decepticon landed back on the ground before he began to throw a darkness-infused bomb at them that began to scatter before exploding.
He then began to quickly advance towards them again, dodging the shots from both Sly and Ruby in the process and swung his sword at both of them, forcing them to have to dodge. The former of the two quickly pulled out his dual pistols to shoot at Starscream in the face, which he didn't flinch from in the slightest as yellow energy was seen flashing on his body for a bit as the two shots connected. This energy being his shield. After tanking the shots, he shoulder charged into Sly, knocking him down.
Ruby and Starscream exchanged hits with one another, scythe vs sword, with Yang joining in with her. Even with the former's extra speed and her sister's strength, Starscream still had the edge of his shield protecting him from flinching from any hits he took. Though that didn't stop him from creating a dark barrier around himself that the two were caught in, hitting them numerous times.
"Now, die!" Starscream said as he expanded and exploded the barrier, sending the two flying back. The expulsion of this energy seemed to have left him exhausted as he stood still before getting down on one knee. And Sly didn't let this opening go to waste as he attacked him numerous times before he recovered. And once he did, Starscream immediately grabbed the raccoon by the neck and didn't hesitate to tighten his grip. "Fool. You want to make stupid remarks? You'll pay the price for them!"
He was suddenly tackled to the ground before being hit in the face multiple times by Yang, who was propelled forward and thrown by Ruby. He retaliated by shooting at her with the cannons on his shoulders, forcing her to have to block the shots as he transformed into jet mode to get some space.
One of the missiles that Ruby shot connected, but it didn't make him flinch at all as his energy shield was back active again. After circling back, he transformed back into robot mode mid-air and shot a rocket at her that created a large explosion. One that she was too slow in getting out of and was knocked down from it. And she wasn't getting up.
Sly attempted to impale him with his sword, throwing it directly at him. While it was a direct hit on his body, it bounced off harmlessly off the shield. But instead of it falling to the ground, Starscream grabbed it with his free hand before throwing it back at Sly way harder than when he threw it. Thankfully for him, he was able to dodge it in time.
As Starscream transformed to avoid Yang charging at him, she jumped and grabbed onto the back fin of his jet form. He tried doing numerous tricks to get her off but none of it was working. The pulling and punching from her along with the pistol shots from Sly forced him to return back to his robot form, which was all that she needed to get access to his face. After seeing what happened to her sister, she was enraged. She wailed on him with several punches to his face. Until she realized that Starscream wasn't flinching from any of them because of his shield. He had a sinister grin on his face as his eyes glowed red again before he grabbed her arm and began to bend it upwards in an awkward angle, causing her pain as she began to yell.
"Now, maybe you'll tell me what I want to know when I separate your arms from your body!" Starscream said, taking pleasure in her pain as he grinned before he was electrocuted. A few seconds later, explosions were seen on his back as he flinched from the first few before he was knocked down from the next two after.
He turned and saw that the source was Sly. "You... I'LL RIP OUT YOUR OPTICS!" Purple aura began to surround him as he began to get more enraged before Yang brought him to the ground again. This time her punches landed before she grabbed and forcibly took his sword from him and then tried to drive it into his body, which he tried to hold back. "You wouldn't dare!"
"Say the person that tried to RIP OFFmy arms and hurt my sister!" After a few more seconds, the blade started to go into his body as he yelled out in pain before it dug in so deep, he was stuck and unable to move. A few seconds later, the dark aura surrounding his body disappeared as he became seemingly unconscious.
She took a few heavy breaths as she got up off him and calmed down, with her eye color returning to normal as she did.
"Well, that's definitely one way to stop him." Sly said.
"He's not dead. I made sure to try to avoid the middle of his chest." She replied. "At least, I don't think he's dead."
"Wow. You guys beat him without me?" Ruby whined, which scared Yang as she yelped.
"You scared the heck outta me!"
"Sorry, I-" She was suddenly enveloped in a long hug from her.
"I'm just glad you're okay."
"Me? I'm just glad this is finally-"
"Can we not jinx it again please?" Sly said.
"Oh. Yeah. Right."
Grunting was heard. They turned towards Starscream, who was desperately trying to pull the sword out of him. "Once I get out of this, I'll make you pay! Do you hear me! I am Starscream! I will not be defeated by mere-"
"Well, at least we know he's alive." Sly said as Starscream continued throwing out threats as he desperately tried to continue to dislodge himself from the sword, to no avail.
"You don't have to worry about Starscream anymore. The Dark Magic affecting him is gone. Now, it's actually over. Come on back to the Time Vault." Chronoa said to the three before they held on to the scroll and teleported out.
Starscream continued to try to pull the sword out and looked back at the trio's way to issue more threats until he realized they were gone. He yelled out in agony. "COWARDS!"
"You're the last person to be calling someone a coward." Menasor said, approaching him after transforming out of his truck form.
"Just shut up and help get this out of me!"
"If it was up to me, I'd let you stay there. As punishment for defying Lord Megatron. Luckily for you, it's not up to me. Megatron wants you by the bridge. Just as a heads-up, he ain't exactly happy you haven't been answering him when he was trying to reach you."
"What? He never did that!" Starscream said in disbelief, not recalling something like that happening at all.
"Tell that to him. See what he says." Motormaster said before pulling the sword out of him as Starscream yelled out in pain from how quick he pulled it out.

Ultimatum (Edgy Mix) - Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 Plays
The three-on-two between Trunks, Ryoma and Goku against Cooler and Mecha Frieza continued. Even at a numbers disadvantage, the two brothers were able to hold their own well enough.
Goku and Cooler exchanged several crushing blows on one another while Mecha Frieza fought both Ryoma and Trunks.
"You're not bad. For a monkey. I can see why you gave my brother so much trouble." Cooler said to him.
"Sorry, but I'm not gonna say thanks to a backhanded compliment." Goku replied.
"Backhanded? You should be honored!"
"Like I said, no thanks!" Goku said as both of them punched each other in the cheek at the same time, causing both of them to be reeling in pain.
"Two against one and you still can't beat me! How laughable!" Frieza said before performing multiple Fissure Slashes and sending them at the sword-wielders.
As they advanced at Frieza, they cut through the energy attacks with their swords.
"Overconfidence like this is exactly what got you in this situation in the first place Frieza! And it looks like you haven't learned your lesson yet." Trunks said to him.
"Misinformed as always, monkey! Let me give you a lesson in power you will not forge-" Frieza was suddenly disoriented by smoke. Smoke that came from Ayame. While she wasn't transformed, that didn't mean she couldn't help. And she understood that perfectly.
"THIS ENDS HERE AND NOW FRIEZA! DIE!" Trunks yelled, suddenly behind and above him as Frieza looked on in horror.
"MY SON! NOO!" King Cold yelled out before flying towards them to intervene. But Vegeta, Tien and the rest of the Z-Fighters blocked his path.
"I don't think so. How does it feel to watch your family die and there's nothing you can do about it? Doesn't feel great now, does it?" Vegeta said to him.
"Move you weaklings!"
"SOLAR FLARE!" Tien and Krillin called out, blinding him.
"What... is this!?" King Cold said, trying to regain his vision but couldn't.
"Sorry, but we're not gonna be going anywhere any time soon." Tien said.
"And from the looks of things, neither are you." Krillin said before laughing a little.
"What's so funny?"
"'Looks'?"
Tien could only sigh and shake his head.
"Come on Tien, you gotta admit that was at least a little clever." Yamcha said.
"I'm surrounded by idiots! If you won't help me finish him, I'll do it myself!" Vegeta said, preparing to charge a Galick Gun. Until a hole was pierced right into King Cold's heart. The source being Piccolo with a special beam cannon from a distance. And as this was happening, Frieza's was being cut into irreparable pieces by Trunks and Ryoma.
Cooler looked behind him as he felt his brother and father's ki beginning to disappear and saw Trunks and Ryoma obliterating his cut pieces into nothing with an energy blast and wave of energy respectively while King Cold lay stunned as blood began coming out of his mouth before Vegeta stepped on his head.
"Just so you know, I won't tell you how Hell is. But you'll have plenty of time to see for yourself when I give you a one-way ticket there!" Vegeta said to him.
"Why you..." King Cold said before coughing up more blood before Vegeta stepped on his head even more.
"Shut up. I'm getting sick of looking at you and your family." Vegeta said, preparing to charge an energy beam. "Here's hoping there's no more of you left." He concluded before blasting him into oblivion.

"What? Not a good feeling to be on the other end of watching the people close to you die is it?" Goku said to him.
"SHUT UP YOU APE!" Cooler yelled out before attempting to punch him, surrounded by purple aura. But even then, Goku was unflinching.
He tried a punch to the gut but Goku stopped it with one hand.
"That's how all of those people felt before you and your family murdered them. All those innocent lives you and your family senselessly hurt or killed! Planets you've enslaved! Destroyed! I gave your brother a chance once, and he threw it away. He even got another chance after that. If he would have left it be he wouldn't be dead right now. Don't think you're getting the same mercy from me, Cooler!"
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR NONSENSE!" Cooler said before using his free hand to send a dark blast at an unsuspecting Gohan and the others, which left Goku horrified as he wouldn't be able to reach him in time. But Trunks deflected it.
"COOLERRRRRRRR!" Goku roared out before noticing he was gone. He looked above and saw him quickly charging a Supernova.

Cooler laughed maniacally before saying, "Fool! You should have finished me off when you had the chance instead of worrying about protecting the worthless lives of those weaklings! Now, ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!" Before sending it at them.
"If that hits, the whole planet's gonna blow!" Bulma said, terrified.
American Pearl- Revalation Plays
Goku powered up before preparing to take the Supernova.
Cooler laughed maniacally as Goku tried but struggled to stop the Supernova. "What's wrong? I thought you were going to 'make me pay'? I kill what I want, when I want! As if I would let a worthless Saiyan like you judge what I can and can't do! This is what you get for disgracing my family!" He said to him before laughing again as Trunks joined in to help him stop it.
"One monkey, two monkeys, it doesn't matter! You'll still die!" Cooler said.
Ayame and Ryoma joined him as well, with the latter changing into her power change form to up her strength and defenses.
"Still too weak!" Cooler taunted.
Vegeta and the rest of the Z-Fighters joined a few seconds after.
"Guys..." Goku started.
"Don't think I'm doing this because I 'love' this backwater planet. Like I said earlier, I'm just sick of seeing Frieza and the rest of his family." Vegeta said before he felt Trunks looking at him. "What are you looking at?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Sorry." Trunks said.
"Keep looking at me with that stupid face and I'll make you sorry, Super Saiyan or not! Which by the way, I don't believe you have for a second! That must be some sort of 'false super saiyan' form."
"Pipe down and focus! None of what you're saying's going to matter if we die here!" Piccolo said.
"Everyone. You didn't have to do this..." Goku said.
"Of course we did Goku! This is our planet too!" Yamcha said to him adamantly.
"You didn't... have to..." Goku repeated before powering up a Kamehameha. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Both Yamcha and Krillin also followed with their own.
"TRI-BEAM HAAAAAAAA!" Tien yelled.
"DODON RAY!"
"DIE COOLER!" Vegeta yelled.
The Supernova started be pushed back.
"What? I don't believe it!" Cooler said in disbelief.
"Believe it Cooler! YOU'RE HISTORY!" Trunks yelled out before using a Masenko to add on to the blast with Gohan and Piccolo also doing the same thing.
"No! Curse you!" Cooler said before catching his Supernova to try to push it back. But he was still being pushed back before he was eventually sent into space. "Damn them! Damn them all! Don't think you've beaten me yet! When I get out of this, I'll make sure you can't stop the next attack!" He looked back and saw the sun.
He laughed. "Yes, that's it! I'll destroy the sun! Then they'll freeze to death!" He laughed again before realizing that the sun was getting awfully close. "Wait a second, I'm headed right for it!" But it was too late. "Curse those monkeys! Curse this planet! Why weren't those three destroyed with the rest of them!?" He then thought about Goku's face and remembered something. "Wait. That face. I recognize that face! That's the Saiyan I let go!"
Flashback
"Delay that order. Frieza's forces are in charge of that quadrant. Let them clean up their own mess. He's of no threat to us." Cooler said to Salza.
End Flashback
"I can't believe it. I could have killed him! This must have been the planet he landed on too! That's why he cares about it so much! I could have killed him! I could have killed all of them! I let him go! I LET HIM GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He yelled out in agony one last time before he dissolved into nothing, burned to ashes by the sun.
A large explosion was seen in space before the sky turned dark. About a minute later, the sky returned back to normal as the sun shined again.
Goku breathed a sigh of relief before falling to the ground, reverting back to normal as Trunks did as well. Though in his case, he just breathed a sigh of relief.
"We did it guys." Goku said.
"It's finally over..." Trunks said.
"And we wouldn't have done it without-" Krillin said before turning to Ryoma and Ayame. Who weren't in the area anymore. "-These guys. Huh. Where'd they run off to so fast?"
"Regardless, I just hope they know we couldn't have done it without them. If I see them again, I'll make sure to tell them that." Goku said, laughing.
"Goku, I know you want a little bit of time to rest up but, once that's done, I'd like to talk to you about something. In private." Trunks said.
"Private? You've got some nerve! Before you talk to him, you're going to answer my questions first! Like for starters, who are you and why can you supposedly 'transform' into a Super Saiyan?" Vegeta asked.
"You'll know all that soon enough, don't worry."
"What do you mean 'soon enough'? I demand to know now!"
Time Vault, Conton City
Ayame and Ryoma returned to the time vault, with several others having already returned. As time passed, others returned as well, including the Zaks, who were back to normal.
Everyone was talking about what they had seen in their point in history.
"Mario? Like Nintendo Mario?" Luz asked in disbelief to Reagan.
"Yeah. It was crazy. He's my witness." She replied, referring to Doyle.
"Uh huh. Was pretty weird. Not weird in a bad way. Just... interesting. Link was there too I think? Just know that it's not the usual Nintendo guys acting like how you'd expect them to." Doyle said.
"Shadow and Batman Beyond? What? That makes no sense." Aomine said to Zee.
"I'm serious!" He replied. "Was pretty sweet, not gonna lie."
"Just like this armor was pretty sweet!" Bennett exclaimed before deactivating it.
"Heck yeah it is!" Old Bennett added proudly.
"Well, at least you confirmed what we already knew about you being capable of handling this. But, we've still got a lot of work to do." Trunks said. "Alright everyone, please take another scroll. And good luck!"
"And as for the ones you've got now, I'll get to work on merging them." Chronoa said as Sly began to suddenly ephemeral himself, with the raccoon realizing it when his hand went through the scroll he was looking at.
"That's... not good." Sly commented.
"I'll sub for you." Luz said to him.
Zee, Murasakibara and Adrien took a look at the scroll they were given. The scroll showed Haggar and Cody being overwhelmed by a suddenly bigger and stronger Abigail along with several thugs that looked drastically different than the ones they fought previously.
"Good news is, I think we have your scroll." Riley said.
"Wanna see how you get killed?" Todd asked Sly.
"Todd!"
"What? It's not like he's not gonna come back. What if the guy is actually curious?"
"You can tell me after you bring me back. I've been through a bit of time traveling myself so I think I'll be fine waiting. Just...not too long alright?" Sly said, looking at himself.
Bass took a look at the next scroll in his hand, and it was someone he instantly recognized: Mega Man. He instantly closed it. "I'm doing this event on my own." Bass declared.
"Are you sur-" Hailey started.
"YES I'M SURE!" He yelled out.
"Okay, okay. Sheesh."
***Confessional***
Hailey(Wave Breakers):
"Whatever's in that scroll must be really touchy or personal to him. Because why would he just insist on doing it himself like that? I think I'll ask the Supreme Kai of Time at some point before we're done. I'm sure she wouldn't mind. For someone with such an important job like hers, she seems kinda nice."
***End Confessional***
Metro City Bay Area(Final Fight)
Zee, Murasakibara and Adrien landed on a sidewalk overlooking the Metro City skyline, right in front of a muscular man that had brown hair a mustache that wore a brown bandoleer, green pants and black boots and was shirtless.
The second man had a t-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers with blonde hair.
The third man wore a very similar outfit to his, but he also wore red gloves, a blue headband and his sneakers were red and white instead of just white.
The fourth was a woman with brown hair that wore a red vest over a black tank top, a red skirt and matching red shoes. She also wore a red headband.
And in front of them were several thugs.
The first man, Mike Haggar, was the first to notice them.
"Hmm, you don't look like the guys we're facing right now. So, you came here to help?" He asked.
"That's what we're here for." Adrien answered.
"All right! I just hope you know how to fight!"
"Yeah, because we've definitely got our work cut out for us." The second man, Cody Travers said.
"Enough talking. If they've got it, let 'em show it against these guys." The woman, Blaze Fielding said.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Adrien said before transforming into Cat Noir.
"Uh, anyone know where these roller skates came from?" Zee asked, suddenly wearing roller skates.
"Who cares, just use it to help you fight! That's what Eddie did." The third man, Axel Stone said.
"Remember Zee, you'll get things to help you based on the location you're in." Trunks reminded him.
"Oh, right. Not sure how this is gonna help but, I think I'll figure it out." Zee said.
"I'm gonna enjoy this..." One of the thugs said, chain in hand.
Final Fight - Round 5 "Something Putrid By The Bay" aka Bay Area (Streets Of Rage 2 Remix) Plays
The thug tried to use his chain to hit Axel, but he ducked it before grabbing and throwing the thug behind him.
"Now what's a girl like you doing with these guys?" One of them said to Blaze, attempting to kick her before she grabbed the leg and used it to throw him to the ground.
"To make sure people like you aren't on the streets." She answered.
"Come on old man! Let's see what you got." Another one taunted Haggar.
"Old? Old!? I'll show you old!" Haggar said before suddenly getting a burst and grabbing him before throwing him upwards, causing him to fall into the water. A couple of seconds later, he rose back up to the surface.
"You mean to tell me we're fighting girls and twinks now? What a joke." One of the larger men said as he attempted to grab Adrien, who he called the latter. But Adrien was able to jump on top of his head before using his staff to hit him in the back of the head and stagger him. "So what if you got speed? Doesn't mean anything if you can't hurt-" He was picked up by Haggar before being put in a suplex.
"There's a thing called teamwork son. Learn it some time." Haggar said to him.
"Son? Sounds like you're pretty old to me pops." Murasakibara joked as he casually moved out of the way of someone trying to shank him with a knife before punching him in the face.
"You're talking to the mayor of the city, just to let you know." Haggar replied, also in a joking manner as he swung upwards with his two fists, knocking another one down.
"Crap!" One of the thugs said, missing Zee, who rolled past his punch, stepping to the side before Zee tripped him up.
"Well, did you figure it out yet?" Cody asked as he and Axel performed eerily similar uppercuts on one of the bigger thugs' jaw, knocking him down.
"I think so."
"Well I hope you know so real soon. This isn't going to get any easier." Blaze said to him as they cleared out the area before beginning to advance forward.
They advanced through a more narrow part of the sidewalk, with a few more enemies, but wasn't too difficult to get through. Especially compared to before.
Once they got to another larger area, a few larger enemies were seen. These either being taller and muscular or obese.
One of the obese enemies, began to take a deep breath before breathing out fire before running at the group, causing all of them to scatter to avoid getting burned.
"Come here!" Haggar said, getting behind him before throwing him backwards into the other two that were just like him, knocking them down like bowling pins.
"A little help!?" Zee said as everyone looked his direction and realized that he was in the air and was about to be thrown to the ground by one of the taller enemies.
Axel, Murasakibara and Cody all ran to shoulder charge him after he had slammed Zee to the ground. The second of the three found a pipe and began to use it as a weapon, hitting him and others with it until they were knocked out.
A few seconds later, smaller enemies that were dressed similar to the thugs from earlier appeared.
Zee had gotten behind one of the obese men and hit him several times before ending in a kick that knocked him down, but wasn't enough to knock him out.
Cat Noir was able to finish him off though, using his staff to knock him off.
"Wait a sec..." He said low before extending the length of his staff a bit and swinging it to knock several of them off into the water. One of the larger enemies however, grabbed it and was preparing to send him into the water. But he completely underestimated Cat Noir's strength and he was knocked off too. After taking out a couple more of the smaller thugs, they continued moving along the sidewalk.
"Better them than me I'd say." Cat Noir remarked as he saw all of them begin to gradually come back up to the surface.
"Maybe tell us you're going to do that next time?" Axel said to Adrien.
"Whoops. My bad."
Meanwhile...
Ruined Street(Mega Man 7)
Bat Man(NES) - Streets of Desolation(Mega Man 7 Remix) Plays
Bass was moving throughout a city at night. This city being the same one that Bass recalls Dr. Wily's Robot Masters ruining during his escape from prison. And the same city that he met Mega Man in, who he was with now, who was suspicious about Bass' sudden appearance, but would ask questions later, as the city was still in danger.
Though some of the robots looked different than the first time. Some of them being soldiers that would shoot flamethrowers, lasers, etc.
Now, robot penguins that would glide across the ground at them along with robot cats that would run and jump at them were also added into the mix and eventually clown robots that would throw gifts. Very explosive ones.
One of them was about to drop on Mega Man's head but Bass pushed him out out of the way before it did, causing it to harmlessly explode on the ground.
"Thank you." Mega Man said to him.
Bass scoffed in response before saying, "You wouldn't have to thank me for anything if you just look up."
This response caused Mega Man to note that the stranger seemed to have a bit of an attitude as well. Something that differed him from Proto Man, who was also an individual that wasn't much for talking. That, and the fact that he at least knew Proto Man's name. Bass refused to tell Mega Man his name either.
Eventually, they had found Dr. Light on the ground, with Rush beside him.
"Dr. Light! Are you alright?" Mega Man asked him. "I'll bring back Roll to take care of you."
"No Mega Man. We have no time! Wily is using the attack of his robots to cover his escape!" Dr. Light said, standing back up.
"We're already aware of that." Bass said to him.
Dr. Light raised an eyebrow as he looked at Bass. "Hm? Mega Man, who is this?"
"I'm not sure. He wouldn't tell me his name." Mega Man replied.
"Because he doesn't need to know it. And neither do you." Bass said.
"I see..." Dr. Light said, grabbing his beard as he began to think before an explosion was heard in the distance, taking him out of his thoughts. "We'll sort this out later. Mega Man, take Rush with you. Hurry, you have to stop Wily!"
"Right!" Mega Man said before turning to Bass. "Come on, let's go!"
As they ran, Dr. Light continued to ponder on who the mysterious robot was. "Strange... I don't remember building this robot. Where exactly did he come from?"
The two began to advance further into the city, facing more of the same when it came to enemies. Though eventually, ninja robots also appeared and would jump around to throw knives or slice at them with katanas.
They almost aggravated Bass enough to consider using something other than his buster. Almost. He still didn't feel the need to use them yet, believing using them on weak enemies like these would be a waste of time. And he was proven right as they were able to get through the rest of the way with no issues.
A Mad Grinder was seen, which was a large punk road-roller robot. It attempted to throw the mohawk blade on its head at them along with occasionally trying to run them over, but to no avail as the pair were able to destroy the robot easily.
Shortly after, they got to a straightaway on the street. Bass was expecting to see himself and Treble blocking their path, but that wasn't the case. Instead, a robot that looked just like the Caped Crusader, Batman, or in this case, Bat Man, was seen.
Mega Man 7 Soundtrack- Boss Theme Plays
"This is as far as you go..." Bat Man said to the two, before preparing to throw explosive Batarangs at them.
The two were able to avoid them, with Bass attempting to use one of his special weapons, Lightning Bolt, but Bat Man was able to block it and Mega Man's further buster shots with his cape, reflecting the Buster Shots right back at the two, forcing them to avoid them or risk getting hit, which allowed him to score hits with a couple of explosive batarangs. He then ran and then jumped before gliding via his cape, smoke bombs in hand before he threw them at the two.
Mega Man slid while Bass jumped over them. Though the second one was still able to catch him.
Mega Man shot a charged buster shot at him as he was preparing to run at them, which caused him to flinch a bit from the damage to his systems.
Bass tried another Special Weapon. This time, using Commando Bomb to send a missile at him. A missile that Bat Man destroyed with one of his batarangs to cancel it out. Annoyed, Bass put up a Water Shield, with Bat Man shooting out a freezing solution from his arm to freeze the shield, rendering it useless.
"I don't think those are going to work against-" Mega Man said as he fired more buster shots at Bat Man, with a few of them connecting before Bass cut him off.
"I refuse to believe he has a counter for every weapon in my arsenal! You believe what you want!" He then threw out a Rebound Striker, a pink super ball that he intentionally threw on the ground in front of him to allow it to bounce and pick up speed with each bounce to make it harder for Bat Man to counter.
Bat Man pulled his cape in front of him to prepare to block it, while also blocking any buster shots Mega Man shot at him again.
"If we're going to defeat him, you have to use your Buster!" Mega Man said to him.
Bass grunted before using a couple of more weapons, including his Copy Vision, with Bat Man just blocking to block the extra shots from the Copy Vision. Afterwards, he used a grappling hook to quickly move to the other side and attempt to hit them with a dive kick, with him landing the kick on Bass, with the robot yelling out in frustration. He wanted to get this done as soon as possible so he could get out of here. But unfortunately that didn't seem to be the case.
Which meant that he had to reluctantly go with the suggestion that Mega Man gave him, which was ironically his first strategy against everyone else. It was like pulling out teeth for him with every shot he he blasted, with some of the landing, some of them missing. But, outside of occasionally, they didn't have to worry about any counters outside of Bat Man blocking to reflect shots with his cape.
Eventually, the Robot Master was destroyed.
Another Robot Master landed seconds later. This one looking strikingly similar to Bass. No, exactly the same.
"Who is that?" Mega Man said, confused before someone appeared above them. Two, actually.
The first wore slightly modified Saiyan Battle armor with a mask over his face. And a hair style that was just like Goku's. The second, on the roof of the building directly behind Bardock, looked to have been a peacock, who wore an identical mask as his. His robe was white with the Time Breaker symbol on the back of it, which was a broken infinity symbol.
Dragon Ball Z - Solid State Scouter Mega Man 7 Style Plays
"It's Bardock! But... who is the other one with him? Bass, you have to get out of there!" Trunks said.
"And if I leave him here, he'll get destroyed. Then what? It'll all be for nothing. I'll beat him." Bass replied as both he and his past counterpart prepare to charge their busters at Bardock. Bardock, in return began to charge a blue energy blast from his hands, intending to destroy all three with it. The mysterious peacock quickly ran down the side of the building and attacked the three robots, with him being faster than any of the three expected. Or could react to as he was able to quickly, and gracefully, take down all three, even avoiding the Wave Burner attack from the present Bass that he attempted to surprise him with, lodging a knife in his arm so far it preventing him from changing it back.
Trunks suddenly teleported in. "I don't think so!" He said to Bardock before sending out energy blasts at both him and the peacock, which both were able to dodge. The peacock, unable to reach Trunks as he was airborne, threw darkness-infused knives at him, one of them actually cutting Trunks across the cheek and drawing blood.
"What are you waiting for!? I told you to get out of here!" Trunks said to present Bass, looking out the corner of his eyes.
Bass begrudgingly does what Trunks says and uses the scroll to return to the Time Vault. Once he did, Trunks turned Super Saiyan.
"Bardock, whatever hold Towa has on you," Trunks started. But Bardock teleported out before he could finish. The peacock disappeared as well.
Trunks could only take a deep breath and release before reverting back to normal. And eventually, returning to the Time Vault, leaving a confused Mega Man and Bass.

Sly Cooper/Sonic Mix: Clockwerk Infinite Plays
Riley, Todd, Weiss, Courtney and Aomine were currently running along a very large snake in a forest. All of them, except for Weiss, were given energy blasters to combat Clockwerk and Infinite. Below them, most of the ground was on fire. In front of them was a blue hedgehog running way faster than any of them could. And above them was a raccoon on a jetpack, a metallic bird and an anthropomorphic jackal. A fox was also running beside them, shock pistol in hand. That fox being Carmelita.
Unlike before where Carmelita's shock pistol could affect Clockwerk's armor, Towa's magic made this no longer the case. Even attacks from Weiss were ineffective. Sonic seemed to be the only one to have been able to put any dent in his defenses, but even then it was barely anything noticeable. They had already contacted Trunks about helping, but he was busy helping someone else.
"Once I destroy you, I will be the only Master Thief in the world!" Clockwerk, the robotic bird said to Sly.
"Yeah, Rouge would like to have a word with you on that." Sonic remarked.
"And yet, if she replaced Cooper, she would suffer the same fate."
"Bold of you to say when you've tried numerous times to kill me and failed." Sly said to Clockwerk.
"They say the third time is the charm. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. You can't even harm me! None of you can! I am invincible!"
"Tell that to every other guy that I've beaten. Can't get more cliche than that." Sonic remarked, jumping over a barrier created by Infinite and dodging shots from Clockwerk.
"Take solace in your little remarks. Because they will be the last ones you'll ever make!" Infinite said to Sonic.
"Sure buddy. Whatever makes you sleep good at night." Sonic replied in a sarcastic manner.
"You know Cooper, this hedgehog reminds me a lot of you." Carmelita remarked.
"Why? Is it because you see blue on both of us?" Sly joked as he dodged the darkness shots from Clockwerk. After feeling sluggish from being hit by one before, he was making sure to try his hardest to not get hit by another.
"Very funny. It is because of remarks like that. Your personalities."
"They literally just met. How the heck are you gonna try to pair them up already?" Todd remarked.
"With observations? She literally just gave you the reason why." Weiss said.
"Still couldn't be-"
Clockwerk suddenly started to create rings, rings that would zap anyone that got close to them, but not in the hole.
"I'd complain about us having to run through rings like it's an obstacle course. But honestly, for this? I think I'll give it a pass." Todd said.
"You brought all of them yet only you can even remotely hit me? What are they for you, glorified cheerleaders?" Infinite said to Sonic as he effortlessly dodged the projectiles shot by
"I didn't bring them along for anything. They just came outta nowhere. And second, not my fault there's one guy with crazy indestructible armor, and a guy like you that'll keep making these annoying areas for me to have to jump over. Like is that really necessary?"
"Jump coming up!" Riley called out, referring to the large gap ahead. The only way anyone would be able to avoid the fire is by timing their jumps to get on the springs to catapult to the next part of land. Well, everyone except for Clockwerk, Infinite and Sly, the latter of the three still using a jetpack.
All of them timed their jumps to land on the springs to catapult themselves to the next area, going to fast for even Clockwerk to be able to hit them. All of them yelled out as they bounced off each of the springs before landing back on the ground.
"Okay, I don't care what we have to do, but we need to find a way to get out of here NOW!" Courtney said, feeling as if her heart was about to come out of her chest.
"There is no escape for you! Only death!" Infinite said to her as he began to create an even larger hazard area across the ground.
"We can't jump over that!" Aomine said.
Using quick thinking, Weiss creates platform glyphs for them to traverse on. "Jump on the glyphs!"
All of them, with Riley almost falling off on the second to last one with her brother stopping her from doing so, were able to use them to jump past the hazardous area.
"Clever. But you can't keep this up forever!" Infinite said.
"You sure? I can do this all day." Sonic said.
"Well good for you. Because I don't!" Courtney said.
He jumped and homed in on Clockwerk to attack him, but missed as Clockwerk moved out of the way.
"Woah!" He landed on a pillar at the last second before jumping back into the area of action.
"Screw it. If we don't do something we're never gonna get outta here!" Todd thought before pulling out the blue Monsuno core.
"Is that a Monsuno core? How did you-" Riley started.
"More spinning, less questions! Uh, Monsuno Launch!" He throws out the core right off Clockwerk's head, to his annoyance before the core unleashed not too far from where he was, catching him off guard. The Monsuno was a mix of a hawk, butterfly and bat. Info of the Monsuno was displayed on the core for him to see once Todd caught it.
"Oh great. I don't even know what this thing's name is! Please, just do something good!"
It fired a yellow electric energy beam from its tail at Clockwerk, but it missed. However, its attempt to tackle him directly was successful.
"Get... off me!" Clockwerk said, trying to shake off the Monsuno but couldn't as it held as tight of a grip on him as it could. Seeing an opening, Sly began to fire at Clockwerk where the Monsuno was attacking, and it seemed to have at least been visibly hurting him.
As much as it tried to hold on, Clockwerk eventually overpowered it and shook it off.
"Nice! Now just do that again until we're outta here!" Todd said.
"Easier said than done. You're a fool if you believe I'll allow that to happen agai-." Clockwerk said before he and Infinite were bounced off of back-to-back like pinballs a couple of times before Sonic landed, with Sly shooting at Clockwerk again as his armor was starting to peel away as the Monsuno blasted through one of Clockwerk's wings, with the others also pitching in.
"Well, you just let me do that a couple of times. How'd that work out for ya?" Sonic said to him.
"Todd, I think you were able to break the code. Because now it looks like those attacks are actually hurting him. Great job!" Carmelita said.
Clockwerk retaliated with rapid fire darkness blasts, one of them hitting the Monsuno as a dark blue energy surrounded it, slowing its speed.
"Try this!" Infinite said as he covered the entire area of the snake they were running on with hazards before firing red energy cubes at them all.
All of them ran on the glyphs that Weiss created, with her also protecting herself from the cubes that Infinite fired at her. But that wasn't the case for everyone else as Carmelita was hit. She was in danger of falling but Aomine quickly ran back to try to save her. But Infinite had other plans. Hitting him and almost causing him to fall off himself, and being unable to hang on to Carmelita. Sly flew to save her as she was hanging onto a ledge of one of the lower buildings.
"Cooper, what are you doing?" She asked.
"Saving you. What does it look like?" Sly asked, smiling a bit.
Clockwerk saw an opening and targeted Sly's jetpack. Seeing the shots, Carmelita amazingly flipped back upwards and took the hits herself, causing her to fall off, barely hanging on to a branch.
"Don't worry about me. Finish Clockwerk! I'll be okay. I'll be-" The branch couldn't support her weight and it broke off, causing her to fall into the flames.
"CARMELITAAAAAAA!" Sly yelled out before he looked back at Infinite and Clockwerk and flew back upwards, enraged as he started to fire at them, but Infinite was able to easily dodge the shots. And Clockwerk was seemingly unaffected.
"Don't worry, you'll join her soon enough!" Infinite said before firing back at him, Clockwerk also joining him as they approached another gap, jumping along more springs.
"Alright, no more fooling around. No one else is dying on my watch!" Sonic said, a serious look on his face.
"And yet how many times have you failed to stop me?"
"Well, I'm stopping you here and now!" He began to boost his speed, pushing himself to go even faster before jumping and going past Infinite. But this was completely intentional as he was planning on bouncing back and hitting Infinite hard.
Because of the distractions the Monsuno and Sly set along with the others firing at them, Infinite was open. But still, he dodged it, reacting fast enough to move out of the way.
"Hmph. How s-" Infinite started before he was hit not even a second later as Weiss had quickly used a glyph as something for him to bounce off of and back at Infinite, sending him through multiple pillars.
"Now it's your turn Clockwerk." Sly said to him.
The Monsuno began to multiply into multiple versions of itself. Combine the copies and everyone else, and it was too much for Clockwerk to be able to anticipate or dodge, with Sly and the Monsuno combining to get hits on him that caused him to stagger as his systems began to shut down.
"You will never be rid of me Cooper! Clockwerk is superior!"
Music Stops
Those were his last words before he fell into the fire.
Sly landed to be with everyone else. "It's finally over..."
Blue swords began to suddenly rain down above them. Leaving everyone stunned. But thankfully for them, they were all blocked. By the Supreme Kai of Time herself, putting up a barrier above them to protect them from the rain of swords.
A Kamehameha energy wave that was coming at the group was also blocked by her as Trunks confronted the user, whose entire body was covered by a cloak, the only thing being seen was their mask, which was exactly like Bardock's and the peacock's. The masked warrior attempted to knock out Trunks so they could attack again, but Trunks wasn't going to yield so easily, turning into a Super Saiyan.
"You're not getting away this time!" He said, performing a quick turnaround kick and then punching them right in the face. But the punch was stopped by the masked warrior with one hand before they punched him back, sending him flying before they prepared another Kamehameha, regardless of the Supreme Kai of Time standing by to use another shield to block it.
But someone else in jade green colored armor with a helmet instead of a mask had suddenly appeared in front of her. Their armor was engraved with the Time Breaker symbol on the chest plate. They used his large broadsword to slice through the shield. Before they could do any further damage, Chronoa used her time-stopping powers to temporarily freeze them in place. The Monsuno attacked them while Weiss and the others joined in to help.
"Don't worry about us. You've done your job. Just go back to the Time Vault!" Chronoa said to them as the armored warrior was now unfrozen and was coming back to attack them.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's get out of here!" Courtney said to them.
"Return!" Todd called out, returning the Monsuno back to its core.
As they were preparing to return to the Time Vault, Chronoa summoned an energy sword shaped similar to a clock hand to stop the armored warrior from getting to them. The last thing they saw was the two blades clashing with Chronoa dodging a sword swipe and countering with her own attack.
After several seconds of more fighting, the two warriors broke off, intending on trying to make a getaway. But neither Trunks nor Chronoa were about to let that happen. The latter froze the armored warrior again and the former blocked the robed warrior's path from helping.
"I think it's about time you and I took a trip back to the Time Vault." Chronoa said to the armored warrior. But as she got closer to grab him, dark energy began to surround him before it exploded, with Chronoa putting up a barrier at the last second to stop it, which allowed him to fly away and attack Trunks, with him being forced to dodge the attack. This was all the window they needed to teleport out and escape.
"Damn it! They got away!" Trunks said.
"Great. We were so close! At the very least, the others are safe." Chronoa said. Trunks returned back to his base form before he nodded in agreement. "You head back. I've got something I need to take care of."
He wasn't sure what exactly she needed to do here, but he wasn't going to question it. It's not like she was talking about her cooking. Chronoa brought him back to the Time Vault while she stayed behind, flying downwards towards the fire.
Metro City Bay Area(Final Fight)
Street Fighter V Soundtrack- Abigail Theme Plays
Zee, Murasakibara and Adrien, alongside Axel, Cody and company were in a final confrontation against Abigail, who was proving to be harder to take down than expected. Not to mention that he was too large for Haggar to grab. And, he didn't seem to feel a thing when Adrien tried to hit him with his staff.
"ABIGAIIIILLLLL!" Abigail yells out before charging at them like a raging bull, skin turning red as he bowled over any and everyone that got in his way, friend or foe.
Getting him when he lost steam seemed to have been the only time he was vulnerable. But that was easier said than done with all of the others helping him.
One of the women had tripped up Zee by using her whip to grab onto one of the skates. Cat noir had jumped down in front of her and blocked her path.
"Now what's a girl like you doing in a shady gang like this?" Cat Noir said to her.
"Well, I could say the same for you. Although, I love the suit." She said before purring as she attempted to hit him with a whip crack, but he timed a perfect grab to take it from her and tied her up with it.
"Don't get any bright ideas. Not that type of guy."
"GRAAAAAAAAH!" Abigail charged at them again, going across the area several times to try to bowl them over. And he was able to succeed by knocking over Axel and Murasakibara before picking up the former and hitting him with rapid punches several times before he was hit in the back of the head by a baseball bat from Cody, with his only reaction being his head going forward and stopping the punching to toss Axel aside. He only turned his head a bit to see Cody, who knew that it was a good idea to move or risk getting the same treatment as Axel, if not worse.
Murasakibara tossed one of the gang members over his head after they tried to grab him.
Another tried to hit him with a piece of wood before he punched him in the good, took the piece of wood and hit him across the face with it so hard the wood broke, with Murasakibara throwing it on the ground, discarding it.
"What you gonna do now little man?" One of the larger gang members taunted Zee as four of them surrounded him. He responded by sweeping all of them, tripping them up. But before he could move on, one of them grabbed one of his legs.
"So, you like going for the legs huh? How about we go for yours. But in this case, play for keeps!" He began to pull at Zee's leg.
"No! Please!" Zee pleaded as the man ignored him and laughed as he pulled harder before he finally pulled it off. When the gang member looked at it, he grinned before being confused when he really looked at it.
"What the hell? What the heck are you?" The Gang Member asked before being knocked out by a pipe from Murasakibara.
"Wait, you're a robot?" Axel asked as he performed a flaming punch to the chest of a gang member.
"Not a robot. It's a prosthetic." Murasakibara said before tossing the leg back to Zee.
Tires started to roll into the area, with Abigail picking one of them up and throwing it at the group with Haggar grabbing it and throwing it back at him, with Abigail catching and ripping it in half an angry look on his face as he was getting ready to charge again.
This time, he was able to catch Blaze before grabbing her and tossing her high up into the air, getting ready to catch her and break her back. But that would be stopped when Abigail was kicked in the one area you don't want to be kicked in by Zee, causing him to get on one knee in pain. Everyone stopped and looked on in shock. Even the gang members.
"What? Nothing else worked." Zee said, shrugging.
Cody was the first to snap out of it, attacking Abigail with Haggar getting him into a submission hold to cause him to pass out.
Now it was only the other gang members in the area left. And once they were taken care of, not a single extra member was in sight.
"Looks like we're all clear." Haggar said. "Nice work everyone!"
"You know, as much as I don't like you copying my style, you're not too bad." Cody said to Axel.
"Copy? Can you do flame fists? And by the way, how common is a t-shirt and blue jeans again?" Axel responded.
"Come on man. The uppercuts? The hair? Stop it."
"Now we need to find a way to get back-" Blaze started before being suddenly pulled into the air and pulled towards someone wielding a blue lightsaber from the distance. That someone being knocked down by Cat Noir at the last second via staff extension before Blaze's body could meet the lightsaber's blade. The lightsaber wielder wore dark green robes, a hood over his head and a mask over his face. On his right shoulder plate was an infinity-like symbol.
Trunks appeared seconds later, right in front of him to block his path before attempting to attack him before he was pushed back out of thin air, to Trunks' surprise.
He was hit in the face by Cat Noir so hard by a staff lunge that it sent him to the ground. Quickly getting up, he slowly backed away, Lightsaber in a guarding position as he looked at everyone before he decided to quickly pull out a blaster pistol and shoot at them. With everyone distracted by where the shot was headed, he used that chance to escape.
Trunks returns to normal.
"Alright, let's head back everyone. Nice job." He said to the trio before they all suddenly left.
"Wait! Take us-" Axel started but it was too late. "-With you. Now how are we supposed to get home?"
Time Vault
As Murasakibara, Adrien and Zee returned, so did some others. With everyone having returned about three minutes later.
"Fighting clowns. Again, not something I expected to do here but, here we are." Luz said. "Is this always like this for you guys?" She asked Trunks.
"Not always. At least, not as strange as what some of you are describing." Trunks said.
"By the way, don't take us intervening for some of you the wrong way. You guys have done a wonderful job so far. And now that we've seen you get through two scrolls, we'll let you have at it from then on out. We'll have to make sure we keep count of who's completed how many for the sake of this competition though. But before we start again, we have a couple of important things to talk about. And don't worry, if you're worried about Carmelita, she was actually alive. On one of the lower trees. She... lost her hair. And some of her clothes, but, not her life. Which was the most important thing. The good news is, none of that will be permanent once I merge the scrolls and return history back to what it should be. The bad news is that from the looks of things, you're going to have to go through Towa's masked warriors if we're going to fix this."
"As if one wasn't bad enough. Looks like she's gotten more than enough replacements for Slug and Turles." Trunks said.
"And this time, she's made sure they're completely under her control. Looks like she's learned from her mistake with Slug and Turles by letting them think on their own."
"Let me guess, they were planning on betraying her?" Yulaw asked.
"That's exactly it. When Towa infused Demon Magic with the fruit from the Tree of Might, they all realized how much of a massive power boost it could give. So Slug and Turles were going to use that power against her. And use Namekian the Dragon Balls to wish for immortality, since they were in the time period where Frieza was searching for the Dragon Balls on Namek at the time." Trunks said. "But none of that came to fruition. Their fight with me and a time patroller would turn out to be their last, even with them being powered up by the Tree of Might."
"The most important part about this for Towa wasn't the fact that Turles and Slug died. As we've seen here, she's more than willing to find replacements. It's the fact that she had found a way to give more power to the people she corrupts if she'd like. Though of course, that's at the cost of reducing their life force the more power she gives them as she herself revealed. This isn't the same thing that you're seeing now. Devastator, Abigail, Cooler, those Battle Droids. That's the original spell that she used before. It's still formidable, just not as dangerous as her new power-up method. A method she's perfected since those two's deaths. To her, they were nothing but guinea pigs for a... what do you call early technology again Trunks?" Chronoa said.
"Prototypes."
"Right. Robots can be affected by her magic as well as some of you may have seen. So watch out for that if you haven't seen that happen yet."
"So what about Bardock and those other masked guys? Which one are they?" Rally asked.
"We're not sure. Bardock is definitely stronger than he originally was when he fought Frieza. But they don't give off the same dark aura the others she corrupts as frequently." Trunks answered.
"As some of you have already seen, they still use dark attacks though. Towa probably stabilizes them compared to the others, which I imagine takes a lot of effort for her to do. Probably why she only goes with a few for her to personally have under her control." Chronoa added.
"So far, we've only come across four outside of Bardock. One of them being someone in one of these universes. A couple of time patrollers have also reported coming across another as well."
"What do you mean by 'one of these universes'? Wouldn't that hold true for all of them?" Lotte asked.
"By that I mean someone close to our own. Mine, hers and Launch's. One of them used a Kamehameha. And it wasn't Bardock as he doesn't know how to do that. It's doesn't give us a definitive name since there's still a lot of possibilities of who it could be, but we do have some type of hint."
"Another one used a lightsaber against us. So it's someone from Star Wars." Adrien noted.
"A blue one too. Wait a sec, I thought Jedi were good?" Zee said.
"When you're put under Towa's control, whether you're good or evil doesn't matter." Chronoa answered.
"I saw a peacock alongside Bardock." Bass noted.
"The other guy with the Kamehameha one had armor. Maybe he's some type of knight." Courtney said.
"And then there's our mystery fifth guy still running around too." Kagami said.
"They're all mysteries idiot. We don't know who any of them are besides Bardock." Aomine said.
"By mystery I mean we don't know anything about them. And don't call me an idiot when you don't even know the definition of mystery!"
"Okay, I think it's time we take a little bit of a break. What's say you guys? I think a little bit of food will be able to get you guys charged back up." Chronoa said, trying to stop any arguments before they began.
"Fine by me. I'm starving." Natsu said.
"You're always starving." Lucy said in a deadpan tone.
"So? What's the problem?"
This only caused her to sigh.
"Can we eat too?" Ruby G. asked.
"Sure! You're as much temporary time patrollers as the rest of you still in the game. I'll make meals for all of you!" Chronoa happily exclaimed.
"Actually, I already ordered some food. It'll be here soon." Trunks said. Which was a complete lie.
"Aw, really? I was looking forward to doing lunch too."
"Yeah. Sorry."
"Wait, when did you order it? You didn't even know I was going to offer a food break."
"I actually was going to suggest it myself. But you beat me to the punch."
Chronoa had a bit of a skeptical look for a couple of seconds before she bought it. "Huh. I see. Well, great minds think alike! You did order me something too, right?"
"Yes! Of course I did!"
"Great! Well, I guess we can do something while we wait. Card games, anyone?"
"Card games?"
"Yeah! You've never played card games before, Trunks?"
"Of course I have! I was just caught off guard by the sudden suggestion that's all."
"Well, we've got to do something while we wait. So why not card games?"
"Oh. I guess that makes sense."
"So, are you going to play?"
"No thanks. I've got to check on the food to see how far it is."
"Ah. Makes sense. Well, hurry on back and you might have time to join us for a game or two!"
"Right." Trunks said before leaving the Time Vault, and then the Time Nest before preparing to leave Conton City.
"Alright, who wants to play? Don't worry, if you beat me I won't get mad. Promise!"
"That's the type of thing a person that's gonna get mad would say..." Happy said low to Akko, who nodded in agreement.
***Confessional***
Trunks:
"Great. Now I've got to actually order some food so everyone won't get mad at me for lying. But, if you knew about Supreme Kai of Time's cooking you'll understand why I did it. Look, she tries her best but her cooking... is bad. Really bad. It almost made Beerus get angry twice. And it made Goku sick. Goku!"
"And the worst part is she genuinely think it's good. A lot of people are way bolder than me when it comes to telling her that though. Even if her cooking stinks I couldn't bring myself to tell her that and hurt her feelings. Knowing my father, he'd tell her directly that it's awful. Maybe not that exact word but, I think you have an idea if you've seen him."
"Speaking of Goku, who's under the mask of that robed person is still on my mind. It couldn't be Goku. Could it? Maybe Yamcha? From what I've learned from looking at some of the scrolls, apparently he used to be a bandit. So there is some villain background there. Or maybe it's Krillin. Cell?" He shook his head. "Maybe I do need to do something to take my mind off of this for now."

Chris:
"Phew. Dodged a bullet there. I don't know if you've seen her in the bad food challenge from Multiverse Edition but if you haven't, just know there's a reason why I picked her for that challenge. And why I'll do it again the next time it comes around. Slight spoiler for a future episode but hey, it's too much of a classic for me to not bring that challenge back. The crazy part is, unlike some of the others, especially Marisa, good gosh that one was bad. But unlike hers and some others, Supreme Kai of Time's food actually looks promising. But when you actually eat it. Watch out! You can say goodbye to your stomach and your appetite for a while."

Supreme Kai of Time:
"Oh darn it! I should have asked what Trunks ordered! Oh well. It's too late now. I'm gonna have to eat it. Or maybe I'll just give it to someone else if it's something I don't want. I'd rather not have it go to waste when he went through that effort to do something nice when he didn't have to."
"As for Towa, she has a real knack for technology. And magic. And can use the two together to do incredible things with them. If only she wasn't using them for evil reasons. She'd definitely have a place here in the Time Patrol if that wasn't the case. Maybe as a chief scientist? All I want to know is why? I understand Demigra's reasoning for trying to take over the Time Vault, even if it still isn't right. But I refuse she's going through this much effort just to give Mira power. What exactly is her endgame? What is she going through this much effort to cause havoc in history like this for? Gathering all that energy from people. Clearly she doesn't want to destroy and rewrite history in her favor like Demigra did. When she came into the Time Nest, she just wanted to kill us. That's it. Or maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe she's just doing it just because she can and nothing more than that. But it just doesn't make sense. She's too smart to use all of that knowledge just for senseless chaos."
She sighs. "Okay, I really need to relax now. Unrelated but these confessionals are kinda genius to put in. Making you say things you normally wouldn't anywhere outside of them. And that is exactly what I did. I'm still mad at you for causing all of this but, I'll give credit where credit is due."

"What the heck do you mean? Why are you talking about Bardock's muscles like that? You do realize he's married, right?" Kagami said to Chronoa as they, along with Happy, Beta, Jenny, Ruby G., Fiona and Noelle were playing Monopoly. With the Kai going strangely into a lot of detail about Bardock and how much she wants to free him from Towa's control.
"I can't give someone compliments?" Chronoa replied.
"That's not what that sounded like to me." Happy said.
"Yeah, it sounded like someone else I know." Fiona said.
"Who?" Noelle asked.
"I think you should know."
"Well, obviously, I don't." Which was a complete lie. "I wonder why Asta didn't want to play with us?"
Fiona could only give her a smug 'I told you' look.
"What? Stop looking at me like that! It's weird!"
"I know someone too. Minus the muscles. And the brain." Beta said with Happy nodding in agreement.
"Well, it's not really the same but, close enough." Happy said.
Lucy, reading, stopped. "Huh. Well that was weird."
"Huh?" Randy asked, confused as he was also reading a comic not too far from where she was.
"Nothing. I just had this strange feeling that someone that annoys me was talking about me. And it was very subtle."
Rick was off to himself.
"Hey Rick!" Young Bennett called out, which only caused Rick to throw out a middle finger.
"Rick!" Reagan also called out to him. He threw out two middle fingers without turning around. "Come on Rick, you really gonna be a d[censored] over an opportunity to beat our a[censored]es?"
"Did you really have to put it that way?" Doyle whispered to her.
"Yes. It's the only way this'll work."
"What game?" Rick asked.
"Scrabble."
"Pfft, this'll be over with in ten minutes. Then after that, you leave me the hell alone, got it?" Rick said to them.
"Deal."

Reagan(Wave Breakers):
"I know this wasn't shown on air, but to have Morty just... start to fade away and disappear like that. I can see why that would be jarring. Especially when it's his grandson. Heck, you should have seen Lotte's face. She looked like she was disappointed and out of it for a while. I may not like some of the things that he does or says, but I can completely respect how he feels about his grandson. He won't tell you this but, he was drinking before this challenge started. A lot. I could tell by how he looked. And when he came back with Trunks, he looked drunk then too. If not worse. More than likely, that's probably what he was doing. Trying to get him to stop drinking. I don't know what he said to him, but at least he got him to stop. Doing this with him won't take that pain away completely, but I hope it at least helps. The only way it's going to go away is when we fix all this."

Bennett(Radical Rats):
Old Bennett spoke first. "I'm going to be completely honest, I was in shock when I found out it happened. Confused and shocked. The first two things I wondered was 'Why'? and 'How?' There are a lot of things that I do not like about him, but that doesn't extend to me wishing the worst on someone's family. The worst thing you can say about his grandson is how he performs in challenges. And maybe his use of language at times. But hey, there's other around his age here that swear more than he does. Losing your family is something I understand completely. All too well... though at the very least, in his case, it wasn't his fault it happened. And at least Morty's not still-" He stopped himself and shook his head.
"At least you cared enough to try to fix things." Young Bennett said.
"True. I wish I would have cared enough initially. At least about more people other than myself. Anyways, that's enough of sulking. Let's win these games!"
"Wow. That was a quick 180."
"Like I said, enough sulking. Let's play!"
***End Confessional***
"We'll be right back! Once lunch ends or is getting close to it, we'll bring you back into the action! Right here on Total...Drama...Across the Multiverse!" Chris announced.

Dragon Ball: XenoVerse Soundtrack ‒ Cutscene: "Theme of Towa" Plays
Towa and Mira were seen in a laboratory as Bardock and the armored warrior had energy suction devices in their hands. A stylized "M" could be seen on one side of each device. Energy was being transferred from these devices and into Mira, who was on a table.
Towa was a woman with long white hair, the right side hanging in front of her chest. light blue skin, and purple eyes. A golden hairband shaped like the infinity symbol was on the back and both sides of her head and wore golden earrings resembling the Potara fusion earrings. She wore a white lab coat over a red and black skintight body suit, a white open leg cape jagged at the bottom and red and black high heels. She was holding a brown staff with two sharp golden points on each end.
"Stop." Towa commanded to the two. They immediately stopped giving energy from the devices to Mira.
Mira, a man with blue skin with white hair and a line on both cheeks going from his eyes to his jaw opens his eyes. He wore red clothing covering his entire body under white armor with the Time Breakers logo in the center, black cape pants, red shoes and a brown strap around his neck.
"Why did you tell them to stop?" He asked Towa.
"To check on the status of your core. If we give you too much power, your systems could overload." She answered as she looked at a monitor that showed the readings of his body.
"I am fine. You don't have to worry about me."
"Considering I created you, I do. If you overload and shut down, gathering all of that energy will be a waste of time." She turns to the two masked fighters. "Now, keep going."
More energy was transferred into Mira before she told them to stop after a few more seconds. And this continued until she told the pair to go out and get more energy.
"How long will this take?" Mira asked.
"I know you want to fight. Just be patient. It'll all be worth it." Towa said before she laughed a little.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. I'm just imaging the amount of chaos they're all causing. I have to thank that fool for gifting me the means to expand my horizons. Why cause hell in a few worlds... When I can do it to hundreds across the multiverse! And soon we'll have all the energy we need to plant the seeds for our dominion in this realm. And now, perhaps maybe even more." She said, a smile on her face.
A/N: And this concludes part one! Can Mira and Towa be stopped? Who are the masked warriors? And what other timelines will the teams explore? After the lunch break, the training wheels are off and the real competition begins!
When starting to really getting into writing this chapter, I decided to just split the episode into two parts.
When Trunks mentions his 'partner', he's referring to the player character in Xenoverse 1. The Xenoverse 1 and 2 player characters are considered as two completely different people. Outside of mentions, I wasn't exactly a fan of having the character show up in something like this, so I decided to just say he's handling some of the more difficult, off-screen patrols with his fellow Time Patrollers/Player Characters. I felt it would be too "self-insert-y" and would take away from the cast if you catch my drift. If it wasn't a Total Drama season, I probably would have been fine with it like I was in the last Xenoverse story I wrote, but this obviously isn't that story as the story context is completely different. And I'm sure you guys don't want or care to see my character fighting and doing cool stuff and not your favorites/the ones you all submitted doing that cool stuff lol.
Also, I've heard that a few people in the CECU Discord server, not just SliceGlass, have been inspired by these TD seasons after I recently decided to take up PotentialStock's offer and join the server. While I appreciate that you guys are inspired by me, I'd still like to give credit to MemeKing the Third, 1602jaw, thenewsubwayguy, UnchartedCoast2, Master Saixus and later on Kierandell1409(Who is now iamthebookwyrm), for inspiring me to writing these seasons. Without coming across their stories, neither this one, nor the season preceding it, Multiverse Edition, would exist! So if you all like these two seasons, I can't recommend you reading the stories of those authors enough!
Other than that, I'll see you on the next chapter!
