Dracon watched the scene with a smile, as Juniper(Dracon) spoke while being crucified, she was horrified to witness what Dracon had done, with her tone being placed with complete horror, "No..."
"Is it not obvious, this is the beginning of the end. The end of Arcadia, and you will be a prime witness once I am done with this world and my Lesser version! You Arcadians will now know what it means to suffer and know true despair just like you inflicted on me and many others before!" Juniper(Dracon) gritted her teeth in anger, as Dracon pulled her chin up in the air to look at him in the eye as he spoke, "You Arcs will fall, once your ego and pride is broken when your will is shattered, I will certainly relish slaughtering every last one of you!"
Juniper(Dracon) could only turn her gaze away, as Dracon released her, he then spoke with a mocking tone, "Whoops forgot.."
Dracon snapped his fingers performing some actions as he spoke, "Now all those from the Four Kingdoms that will come here without any problems..." Dracon opened up a portal revealing millions of people that belonged to the Four Kingdoms, he narrowed his gaze when he sensed the corruption and vileness in several of the people, and he knew that several were cowards, additionally, he knew some will have to abandon him. Some of the people turned to Juniper(Dracon), however Dracon spoke
"Ah, I am afraid not fellas, she is my prey, let me make it very clear. None shall touch her except for me..." Dracon raised a lot of his aura making his message clear, as he soon grunted himself , snapped his fingers making them remember what happened to Vale and spoke, "Now then, I believe you all will be making progress against these Arcadians, all those that have desired vengeance against them for killing their family members present in Vale, I can sense some anger brewing in, you can all have your vengeance against these Arcadians!"
"I will give you the power necessary and abilities needed to do so, but you will be fighting for me and fighting till the very end, and I mean it, so I don't want any of you deserting or insubordinating me, fight for me and you will get any of the riches that Arcadians have for you. And to those that desire vengeance against them, you will get your chance, slaughter these Arcadians without any mercy..."
Those from the Four Kingdoms roared in happiness, as amongst them were Pyrrha's parents Thetis and Peleus Nikos who all wanted vengeance against the Arcadians for killing their daughter.
Dracon snapped his fingers and gave them the power that they needed to defeat these Arcadians as they all charged at the Arcadian races, he watched with glee as Void Ghidorah was laying waste onto the Arcadian cities of this world, and heading towards the other cities, as Godzilla and King Kong try to stop Void Ghidorah.
"Why?" Dracon turned to her as Juniper(Dracon) shouted with anger and fury, with tears falling from her eyes, "Why do you want to conquer other worlds?! Why do you want to destroy this world's Issei? What did he do to you!?"
"At this point, you of all people should know that I am a Tyrant! My rule will never be accepted by my Lesser Versions, my views and visions of controlling the populace with fear and strength will never be accepted, just like Jaune and his pathetic One-Five from the Universe 9905, I have seen it before, and again! They will never accept me, but I won't let that happen, no matter what happens!" Dracon's words made Juniper(Dracon) only look down in sadness and anguish, he really wanted to bring in as much despair, hatred and grief as possible That is how he was treated and that is how he will now treat others.
Additionally, while she was still under Dracon's control, Juniper saw all ten realities alongside Dracon, she remembered two particular realities where her counterpart was living happily with the man that would become Dracon in her world. She teared up knowing she had ruined Issei to the point of becoming Dracon, and if she did not listen to Nicholas, Issei would have been with her.

Opening End
Faunus Kingdom, Arcadia, 5:30 AM
Shere Khan was on the ground badly beaten by Adam, who was fighting against his sister, as he spoke, "Seems like you have gotten stronger....sister.."
"Adam, please stop this!" Eve tried to reason with her brother, but Adam was not having any of it, as he spoke, "You know, you Arcadians are so hypocritical, you claim to be better than the Faunus of the Four Kingdoms..yet when I fought some of you, you still let your racism let you think of yourselves as the better of us..."
"It is uncanny on how mine and this world correlates..." Eve gritted her teeth in anger, but didn't deny what Adam is speaking many Arcadians did hate her when she arrived for the first time, prejudice was still prevalent. She pushed him back with the sword, as he soon grunted in response.
Prejudice, no matter how justified, is still prejudice, and Adam was one of the few that knew it better than anyone else.
"With my own world, there is nothing but prejudice everywhere, and it is surprising at how you fail to see yourselves turning as bad as the White Fang.." Adam spoke with a cold tone, as Eve couldn't meet the gaze of Adam, he soon kicked her sending her flying, as she coughed up blood, she was powerless to stop Adam. He turned his attention to Shere, and spoke
"As for you Shere, I believe you are forgetting that you are the reason why the White Fang became the way it is..." Shere gritted his teeth in anger, he was badly beaten and wounded, and even with Special Forces training, he stood no chance against this iteration of Adam Taurus. Shere then responded
"What do you mean? They became wild animals on their own accord!" Adam only laughed at his face as he spoke, "Is it?"
Adam stabs Shere in the stomach making him cough up blood, as he screams in pain, "Oh Shere...Don't you remember that Ghira and Kali wanted the White Fang to be peaceful, but tell me, who was it that changed the White Fang to become the way it was today?"
"M-My sister S-SIenna.." Adam nodded in response, "Correct..."
Adam removed the sword, as he continued, "But who was it that inspired Sienna to make the White Fang the way it is?"
Shere couldn't respond as Adam stabbed him again in the same spot making him scream in pain. Eve then begged in a low tone, she did not want to see Shere being tortured like this.
"Stop it...please..." Adam ignored her and spoke, "Speak Shere, who was it that inspired Sienna to make the White Fang the terrorist filled organisation it is?"
Shere gritted his teeth in pain, he knew what Adam wants, he had an idea of what was going on, he then spoken "It was me, I inspired my sister to make the White Fang the way it is.."
"And what do you think was supposed to happen? The Faunus of the Four Kingdoms had to deal with Faunus Haters and the Schnees, which mind you hailed from this world. So their hatred getting to this point was inevitable. Arcadia, or I should say Arcadian Faunus had the spies and power to prevent the White Fang from becoming the way it was supposed to be, but no, you all just let it happen, let the Fang grow into the Wild Animal Organisation that it is today..." Shere couldn't respond again, as even Eve could see what Adam was trying to convey, they had the power to stop the problems in the Four Kingdoms, they could have stopped the hatred in their hearts and helped the Four Kingdoms. They could have done so much, to prevent any oncoming and upcoming problems they would have with the people they called 'Outsiders' but they couldn't do much, and now all of them have to suffer.
Adam removed his sword and raised it to kill Shere, as he spoke, "Say hi to your counterpart for me, would ya? That is if you meet him..."
Shere closed his eyes, ready to accept death, he wouldn't beg for forgiveness or mercy. Nor give Adam the pleasure of him being broken, he has the honor and pride of a warrior and he is not going to lose that no matter what happens.
But before Adam could land the killing blow, he sensed an slash causing him to leap and back away, he smirked seeing who his attacker was, it was none other than the Faunus King Simba himself, the ruler of the Faunus Kingdom.
Simba was described to be a orange haired Lion Faunus, he had lion ears and a beard that looked akin to a young king. He had long hair, that looked akin to a Lion's mane. He wore golden armor and underneath it he wore a white full sleeved shirt. He wore pauldrons, breastplate, plackart, tassets, poleyns, greaves, sabatons. He seemed to have a proud expression on his face.
He was accompanied by several of the Faunus Guard, that were described to be wearing Vibranium armor, several of them displayed their traits in full glory.
"That is as far as you go, Taurus!" Simba declared with anger in his tone, he saw many of his people get killed by the Black Arms Crescent Troopers, he was not going to let anymore of his people die like this.
"Ah, it seems like the Lion King is here..." Adam spoke mockingly as Simba gritted his teeth in anger, he looked towards one of the troopers beside him and spoke, "You need to take Shere to the medical, he needs to get some medical attention.."
Simba immediately tackled Adam, sending him away, he then gave a glance to the Trooper, "Now, I can keep him holding for much longer!"
The Faunus Trooper who was described to be a Garuda Trooper, responded, "As you wish, my Lord!" His body was coated with armor, signifying his heritage as a Bird Faunus, or an Eagle Faunus.
He picked up Shere's body and flew off, as Simba glanced towards Eve and asked, "Can you fight?"
Eve got up and spoke, "Yeah...my injuries are there, but I can fight..."
"If that is the case, rest. Let me handle your brother from a different timeline.." Eve retorted in response, "No, my lord, he is my brother, let me join in this fight..."
"You wish to fight for this world, despite being injured?" Simba asked before he had a smile and spoke, "Come let's teach this brother of yours on how we Arcadians, will never give up!"
Adam could only look laugh at this nature of the Arcadians, this comradery, where was this when the Faunus of the Four Kingdoms were being tormented, especially those that were enslaved by the Schnee Company in the Four Kingdoms and those from the Dragon Continent, even those that were victims of the White Fang, where was this comradery when they needed it?
"What's so funny, Taurus?" Simba asked while masking his anger to which Adam spoke, "Is it not obvious? You have such comradery where was this when the tortured Faunus needed it the most? You claim to be helping Faunus Simba? Don't make me laugh, you are no better than Faunus of the White Fang in some aspects!"
Simba gritted his teeth in anger, but he knew what Adam was pointing out, he spoke, "We have been trying to help them, we have been rescuing some settlements, but we cannot reveal Arcadia's existence-"
"To the world, what bullshit, you had the power to put Jacques Schnee and other racists in their places a long time ago! But you chose not to do it, you chose to remain in your cozy worlds in Arcadia while the Faunus kept suffering and what's worse, they are not even human like Nicholas Arc or Kane." Simba remained quiet, Adam was right yet again, they could have put Jacques Schnee in their places, but they chose not to. Even Eve looked down remembering what this meant. Adam was right, the Faunus were not even like Nicholas Kane in any way.
Adam soon removed some of his armor revealing his SDC Scar that he had, he spoke in response, "This scar is an example of my suffering, the sin of the Schnee Company and the Failure of the Arcadians. My Lord, Lord Dracon offered me the chance of removing the scar, to be freed from my past but I denied this! I wanted to remember my past, as a reminder of what I had to go through to get this far! Dracon, in his world, managed to bring about a peaceful world where Arcadians and Outsiders got along by force, where humans and Faunus were brought together by force! But I know you Arcadians will want to destroy the world that Dracon developed due to him being evil and cruel to the people!" Adam once again wore his armor, as he could see Simba and Eve not desiring to fight him, they saw that this Adam and the Adam of their world was different, he had changed as opposed to the Adam of their world. Adam of Dracon's world was able to bring in true Unity by assisting and serving Lord Dracon.
"You Arcadians might deny it all you want, but in some aspects you are just like the very Outsiders that you despise!" The Faunus Royal Guard were getting angry as they were about to charge at him, while they agree with Adam's words, they hated being compared with the Outsiders.
However, a hand stopped them with one of the Faunus Guard asking, "My Lord..."
"I will deal with him, myself...Adam wants you to charge in there recklessly, and I not going to let any more of my people perish..." Simba spoke giving a glance to the Guard who asked, as he looked towards Adam and spoke
"You are right Adam, we have been blind to our misdeeds, but we have been trying to save who we could. Even if we don't save them or save them, it doesn't matter does it, you are following a mad man and I won't let you harm my people!" Simba declared as he brought out his sword, to which Eve responded.
"Lord Simba is right, you are becoming no different than the Arcadians that you despise Adam. You are following a madman that is blinded by his own hatred towards us and many other Isseis and we will defend ourselves from the likes of you, even if it costs us our lives, cause that is what it means to be an Arcadian, we fight for one other, we will even give our lives just to make sure that we survive another day.." Adam only narrowed his gaze and spoke, "I see...."
"All I can say, is that you are way better than the Simba from my world, He never acknowledged his misdeeds and still hated me due to being an Outsider..You fight to protect and not to hate, that is admirable." Adam soon unsheathed his blade and spoke, "But, even then, you will still see Dracon's rule fall and I won't let that happen..."
Adam dashed towards Simba who barely blocked the strike, he was surprised by the ferocity that a former outsider like him possessed but he shook his head, he won't let his racism get the better of him. Otherwise, he is no different from the Outsiders that he despises.
Eve joined in as Adam used a magic blast to send Eve Flying this was fire magic as Adam kept slashing in rapid fire strikes forcing Simba to be pushed to his extreme. Simba used his tail to push Adam behind but he only blocked it with a small strike, as Eve ambushed him from the other end.
Adam once again sent her flying with his free hand, as Simba saw this as an opportunity and managed to strike him in his armor but it caused no damage, as he spoke with a tone of surprise, "What?"
"My armor is much reinforced, did you really think you can beat me like this?" Adam spoke as Simba backed away, Adam only charged for a second and unleashed a strong Nuclear Elemental towards him causing Simba and Eve to take some serious damage. They were forced to defend themselves but their barriers broke, fortunately for them, they were able to resist some of the attack but to no avail.
They were on the edge, as Adam then spoke, "Is that all...well then, allow me to surprise you.."
Adam's body started to transform revealing the Mandarin Armor and the Ten Rings in each of his arms as Simba spoke with horror, "No...that means.."
"I possess the 10 rings, no one else does. Lord Dracon gave me this after he had defeated and slain the An Ren of this world...let's see if you combat this!" Before Simba and Eve could react Adam used yellow light strings to trap both of them in a chain making them drop their blade. They couldn't move at all.
"You know, as a Lion, I know your pride won't make you yield to a mere bull. But, let me tell you that even Bulls can make a Lion flee from the situation and can even kill them, that is the law of nature..." Adam brought out his sword as he was about to slay Simba who was glaring at Adam, while Eve begged Adam to stop.
However, someone suddenly attacked him.
*Boom* *Zap*
The attacks sent Adam flying across multiple stories of the Arcadian buildings, as the restraints on Eve and Simba were released, as Simba asked, "How?"
"I believe I can explain that.." Simba and Eve looked around to see none other than An Ren, in her Mandarin Armor with her own 10 rings as she looked towards Adam who had recovered, he then spoke
"Bloody wonderful, guess this is the world's An Ren..." Adam spoke as he readied himself and spoke, "Guess, I will have the pleasure of beating one of the Big 3!"
"You will try Adam, but know this...none of us will fall tonight..." An spoke with total coldness with Eve and Simba joining in for the fight, they had to show the Dracon's world people that they are not the same.
*Scene Change*
Arc Mansion, Arcadia, 5:30 AM
Issei and Juniper were clashing against Grayfia who was surprisingly stronger, despite both being in their armors. Juniper unleashed her Draconic Flames at Grayfia who blocked them with ease, as Issei followed it up with a penetration punch using the Penetrate which made her cough up as Juniper followed it up with an Flame Breath which dazed her for a moment.
Issei followed it up with a barrage of Dragon Shots at her, as he saw Grayfia getting staggered, he soon saw himself being surrounded by many of the Black Arms Sub-Zero Troops, powered by Absolute Demise.
These were beings dressed in what seemed to be ice scaled armors, these troops had icicles jolting out from their body, and they had worn masks that seemed to look a lot like ice created. There was a black metal interior armor that had contained the Sacred Gear's power.
The Ice Troopers unleashed a blizzard upon the group causing the two to start shivering, they kept reducing the temperature of the surroundings even affecting the others that are present causing them to shiver, while they were taking down the horde of troopers that they were fighting against along with Grayfia who was immune to the cold. Jade, and the other Arc Sisters assisted them by attacking the troopers.
Several of the Sub-Zero Troopers unleashed beams of ice towards Rosemary and Violet as Rosemary transformed her hands into that of rock and smashed the skulls of the two people. This was because of her EIkon Titan. Violet soon followed by transforming her hands into wings that belonged to her Eikon Garuda and distracted the troopers by unleashing a storm that sent them flying.
"Aqua now!" Aqua nodded as she had her hands change into Ramuh and zap the troopers brutally killing them with ease, as Aqua spoke, "That's that.."
Bianca looked at the Sub Zero troopers that were looking at her, as she gave a glance to a small being, who soon transformed into a Black Dog that had smoky shadowy fur and had a black blade which was a cursed blade known as Ame-no-Ohabari.
"Ready for this, Jin!" Jin nodded, as she started the chant,
Behowlest the slaying of thousands of mortals and principles Besingest the slaying of tens of thousand of goblins and evil omens Mine name, which reacheth unto the farthest abyss, tis the Imitation God beguiling the Polar Night and the Midnight Sun Thou shalt be exterminated by our own jet black demonic blade Thou art merely ephemeral, oh paranormal Creator God
"Balance Breaker: Perfectus Tenebrae Lykaon et Fortis Densus Laelaps!" Jin leaped in the air and started to transform into darkness,
Bianca, herself is covered in darkness, assuming a black beast humanoid, resembling a dog, covering an entire mountain with innumerable black blades, and creating pack black hounds, which are capable of moving through shadows to attack numerous targets. Bianca soon howls commanding the hounds to gnaw at the Sub Zero Troops. This was Bianca's Abyss Side Balance Breaker.
"Aw, what the hell are these things!?" One of the soldiers as the other spoke, "Who cares to take them down!?"
The Hound clawed onto the soldier as it ripped apart the icicle based armor, with ease, soon enough another one gnawed into the other soldier with them begging, "No please, AAAAHHH!!"
The second hound gnawed onto the other hound, as the hounds kept killing a whole horde of troops, with Jade speaking, "Now Bianca, don't let them have all the fun.."
Bianca nodded and called back her hounds, as Jade spoke while initiating her transformation, "Let's see if you can handle the power of an Eikon!"
The soldiers were blasted by Ice Crystals courtesy of Jade, towards the soldiers who easily destroy it using their own command over Ice, she gritted her teeth knowing full well that she won't be able to do much against them. She decided to go all out.
The Sub-Zero Troopers were met with a icy mist making their way towards a large Ice Crystal. From there, it explodes into icy sparkles, with Jade now appearing as a woman with pale white skin, pointed ears, and long, platinum-blonde hair. Her hair is adorned with gold ornaments, and she wears a three-point crown. She wears a white dress with dark-blue ornaments, and a massive, flowing mantle.
This was Shiva, her Eikon.
"Shit, it's Lord Dracon's power!" One of the soldiers shouted, as another responded, "Bring in the Purge Troopers, we need assistance!"
"Like I will let you do that!" Jade was starting to breathe some ice, with the Troopers unleashing blasts of ice towards her, which she blocked with an Ice Wall, while the other Sub-Zero troopers, were blasting her keeping her occupied.
"This is getting annoying!" Jade exclaimed with annoyance, as soon enough, a SIlvery Mist opened up revealing Purge Troopers as they started to unleash Purple Flames towards Jade, as she blocked them with her ice. She knew the Purple Flames are stronger than normal flames. She knew what she had to do.
Jade brings her arm out forwards, around six giant ice crystals form around her in a circle. She gestures for them to shoot forward as they did, releasing an ice mist in their wake. They made impact on the ground and sent everyone flying, their bodies are now encased in large ice crystals.
From there, Jade finishes her fight by unleashing Diamond Dust. She raises both her arms up as a bright blue orb appears, Jade spins her entire body around, a misty blizzard surrounding the entire area. She stops spinning and fires off the blue orb, shooting out an icy beam that freezes everything and everyone.
(A/N: I don't own this gif or Final Fantasy XVI)
Jade noticed that she managed to freeze a huge portion of the soldiers, as Bianca commands the hounds to destroy all the crystals transforming them into bite sized pieces like it was nothing. The crystals also had some Purge Troopers that were trapped in there. But not all of them were down for the count.
Some of the Purge Troopers continued to generate more purple flames and send it towards them, as Olivia spoke, "May I join this one!"
"Your call!" Jade spoke in her Eikon form, as Olivia started to change, an explosion erupts of both light and fire, with the flames shooting out a beam towards the sky. There, we now see a large bird, resembling either a hawk or an eagle, covered in orange, green, and blue feathers, with plumage on his tail resembling that of a peacock's. It's feathers glow with fiery light, and a blue light emanates from his chest.
"Let's go, Purge Troopers!" Olivia unleashed several flames towards the Purge Troopers as she responded by using her own flames, with the Sub Zero troopers creating even more problems, Olivia gave a glance to Jade and nodded, as they unleashed both of their attacks at the same time taking them all down at the same time. Jade once again unleashed Diamond Dust and Olivia decided to also end this once and for all.
Fiery energy starts to build up in Olivia's chest, a blue light can be seen emanating from it. From there, she stretches her wings out, the fireballs circling each other and forming around the chest of the Phoenix creating a small fireball. Before Olivia shoots out a beam heading right towards the EDF's Forces.
(A/N: I don't own this gif or Final Fantasy XVI)
The entire blast annihilated many of the troops with ease, the fact they had to go all out shows that they had to handle, as they reverted back to their human forms as the Troopers were gone, Grayfia looked towards in shock, as Issei kicked her sending her flying.
"See Grayfia, you should know that us Arcs won't give up without a fight! You may have the powers of the Sacred Gears, none of us will go down without a fight, we will protect the people we care about and cherish!" Grayfia could be seen gritting her teeth in anger, she noticed Aqua commanding Regulus wiping out several of the Black Arms Soldiers and she using lightning to do the same.
She turned to see Saphron wielding the True Longinus slaughtering many of the Sub-Zero Troops left. She had contacted Dracon for stronger reinforcements, hoping she could find a way to handle her enemies here.
Suddenly Aqua gets a call from Holly, as the color drains from her expression she then speaks, "Dad, I have some bad news..."
"What is it?" Aqua looked at Grayfia who was smirking as she spoke, "Judging by the looks, I am pretty sure that the Madison is in danger, right? General Scarlett is certainly taking her sweet time, isn't she?"
Aqua glared towards Grayfia with anger, as Issei kept an hand on her with him speaking, "Go, we will be fine.."
"Are you sure?" Issei nodded, as Aqua gave a smile, she soon teleported back to the Madison Mansion, Grayfia tried to stop but Issei unleashed a Fire Blast protecting him and his family, he kept a fire wall which distracted her for a while. "That should keep her busy.." Bianca returned to her normal self as Jin went back inside of a portal.
Juniper walked towards him, as he spoke, "What now?" Issei couldn't speak much, as he spoke, "I am worried Juniper, my parents will be an obvious target, what should I even do..?" Juniper wanted to respond but suddenly, another contact had come to him, Issei then spoke
"Yes? Li?" Issei spoke as he continued, "What? Where is An?" Li told him something on the magic circle as he spoke, "Alright, I will see on how I can help.."
"What happened Issei?" Juniper asked with concern as he spoke, "The Kingdom of Kugane is a living corpse hell, many were slayed by Dracon's forces powered by the True Longinus!" Juniper became wide-eyed as Rosemary asked, "That is the strongest Longinus, isn't it?"
"Correct, this is a major problem..we need to do something.." Everyone was thinking for a moment before Saphron spoke, "I will go, Dad.."
Issei looked at Saphron and spoke, "You sure?"
"I am, I am the true possessor of the True Longinus, and I have the power of Bahamut, I will fight against them and defeat them.." Issei nodded as he spoke, "Alright then, I will teleport you!"
Saphron was immediately teleported as the ice soon started to form on the flame wall that Issei had created and out came Grayfia, who seemed to be looking very angered by this. She was freezing as she unleashed a very strong Ice storm spell that completely froze the surrounding area creating an ice chasm that trapped everyone present, which started to weaken them slowly and steadily.
"This is my ultimate spell...Glaciate. This allows me to siphon the magic energy and even life energy of my enemies...you can sense it, can you? Your life force is being weakened.." The trapped beings were glaring at them. The present people were Issei, Juniper, Rosemary, Violet, Olivia, Bianca and Jade, they were protecting themselves, but they doubted they could keep it for long. They had to fight against Grayfia herself.
She kept unleashing beams of ice, as Issei, Juniper and Olivia unleashed powerful flames, that were weakening the ice, as Jade responded by unleashing a storm of ice, with Rosemary unleashing Titan smashes as Grayfia dodged the attacks.
Issei jumped in the air and dashed at blinding speeds and fired a Cannon Blast towards Grayfia as she staggered into the ground. He brought out the Judgement of Shamash as he fired multiple shots towards the Ice Dome as it started to melt. Olivia, Juniper and the others soon followed with Olivia using Phoenix flames while the others using the Dragon Flames to melt the ice which was speeding up the melting process.
Grayfia looked in horror as she shouted, "No!!!"
Grayfia glared at the Arc Siblings, who were distracted as she unleashed a very strong ice strike that would even freeze the heart of the Arc Siblings. Juniper saw this and got in between, as Issei watched in horror with him screaming. A purple glow was present which changed to white.
"Nooo!!!" Grayfia had a grin knowing this was at least going to kill Juniper, the Arc Siblings watched in horror on what was going to happen to their mother.
Issei tackled her in the air with anger, as he slammed her to the ground making him cough up, he soon brought out the Void Archives and generated the Divine Dividing which started to siphon her powers. The Sacred Gear dispelled as Issei rushed to Juniper, only to realise that Juniper looked very different.
She had a different appearance, she gained water based clothing which comprises of an armor that covers several part of her body. She gains a tiara signaling herself as the Empress of Arcadia and two giant dragon wings with feathers on them, she also gains Poleyns that covers her knees and legs. She also gains a giant Lance, which is composed of a powerful water based alloy.
This was Juniper's Balance Breaker or Nereid Kyrie's Balance Breaker, Siren's Serenade: Requiem of Destruction.
(A/N: Imagine Noelle with Juniper's place, and remove the Halo from her head and replace it with a white necklace, which is Nereid Kyrie transformed)
"Woah..." Issei spoke with surprise, as Grayfia got up and looked in surprise, she then spoke with horror, "No...how can she have Nereid Kyrie..."
"Mom..." Jade spoke with a surprised tone, as Juniper looked at herself, this was the first time, she had seen herself dress like this. It was not embarrassing to her, but she didn't understand why her clothes felt so cold, it felt like water was encasing her.
"What happened to you?" Juniper spoke in response, "I don't know..."
"I can't believe I am seeing this." Ddraig spoke with a surprised tone, "This is her own Balance Breaker..."
"But how?" Bianca asked with a surprised tone, as Ddraig answered, "My guess is when her children were under danger, her Sacred Gear manifested and transformed into her balance breaker.." Jade and Issei were the first to realise what must have happened, as Jade spoke up,
"Oh yeah, that is true! Sacred Gears are formed by high emotions combined with a change in the heart or spirit of the wielder! I think, this is an Abyss SIde Balance Breaker.." Jade's explanation made Juniper surprised as Bianca asked, "But how?"
"Shouldn't it be a Crest Side Balance Breaker?" Bianca retorted as Olivia spoke, "True, Abyss can only be done when it becomes improved and polished, like Bianca's Perfectus Tenebrae Lykaon et Fortis Densus Laelaps which is an enhanced version Night Celestial Slash Dogs!"
"No, my theory is that mother has a weaker variant of the Balance Breaker, I am not sure, but I don't think this is a Crest Side Balance Breaker." Grayfia tried to perform some ice magic but they were immediately destroyed and turned to steam, which was caused by Juniper, who had a smirk on her face.
"Well, let's see if I can use this to it's full potential.." Juniper spoke with a smile, which made Grafia angry. She soon flew using her two wings and spoke, "Ise, mind if I take her on? She will pay for harming my kids, and I do want to test my new powers.."
"All yours Juniper..." Juniper walked forward and lost her smile, she soon gave a glare to Grayfia who unleashed several Ice threads towards Juniper as she was bounded, but soon it dissipated into steam as Grayfia started to stagger, she opened a magic circle trying to escape, but she soon froze.
It was Juniper, she raised her hands freezing her which completely disabled her entire body, as she spoke coldly, "Where do you think you are going?"
"You caused Ise so much pain, in both timelines, were one of the main reasons why Issei of your world became Dracon!" Juniper crushed her hands as they screamed in pain, she cried and begged for mercy, she hated Grayfia and all of the Supernatural Factions. Neither Issei nor anyone else have empathy for her, especially Issei who also hated Grayfia of both timelines, the only Grayfia he ever cared or respected for were the Grayfia in some timelines, while the others that were supposed to be hated were long dead and this one will die as well.
Juniper continued with spite, as she continued, "Then you tried to murder my own children, and tried to murder us, you will pay with your life for what you have done!"
Juniper started to overload Grayfia as she started to bloat up, blood was being released from her body, as it soon exploded into a flurry of bones, flesh, organs and even other bodily fluids. Juniper shielded herself from the body and blood in their bones, as she sighed in relief. She soon lost her balance breaker and returned to her regular clothing. She was about to fall to the ground
"I got you.." Issei dashed towards the Juniper and grabbed her, with her giving him a smile, as she was joined by the others too.
"That was amazing, mom.." The one who spoke was Rosemary, as Juniper gave a nod, she knew with that one of Dracon's major fighting forces was eliminated, there was still hope for victory. They were even joined by those from the 9905. They saw Grayfia's corpse as Jaune(9905) spoke with a cold tone.
"Good riddance.." Jaune(9905) spoke with a cold tone, as Lilly(9905) added, "Yep, that bitch was such a problem in the rebellion, I am glad she was gone..."
"So what now?" Hizuru(9905) spoke, to which Issei spoke, "Now, we help the other Kingdoms...speaking of which, where is Willow?"
"She has gone to assist her counterpart! Turns out Weiss from Dracon's world is becoming an even bigger problem in Midgard.." Issei and the others nodded, he heard from Willow(Dracon) remembering on how her daughter hated her very life. He couldn't help but hope that she gets the help she needs.
"And the spies?" Issei asked to which Yoji(9905) spoke, "Had to make a break for it, being hunted down by those from the Four Kingdoms, fortunately they are back and fighting against those Outsiders that are harming our cities.." Issei gritted his teeth in anger, there was something they had to do.
However, before Issei could come up with a solution, soon enough, a magic circle came through them revealing a badly injured Imperius, as he spoke, "Lady Arc, Lord Arc! I am glad to see all of you are fine" Juniper got up from her seat and rushed to Imperius, as she asked, "Are you alright?" She assisted him and made him seat towards a nearby rubble.
"I am injured but fine, we were able to capture General Gabriel and seal her away, we are still awaiting on what we should do with her. The Kingdom of Angels are safe..despite the damage done to it and the loss of many of the angels.." Many breathe a sigh of relief, as Imperius spoke
"But I can't say the same for the other Kingdoms.." Jaune(9905) became surprised as he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Despite some like the Kingdom of Grimm, Kingdom of Elves and the Egyptian Kingdom repelling their attackers. The other Kingdoms are still being ravaged as we speak, those that have the power of Nereid Kyrie are becoming a major problems in the Dragon Kingdom, while those with the powers of Incinerate Anthem and Alphecca Tyrant are being problematic in the other Kingdoms, but what's worse is that Dracon has joined in the fight." The group became wide-eyed, this shit got a whole lot worse for the war, knowing how dangerous Dracon is, as he asked, "Where is he going?"
"The Kingdom of Hell, my guess he wants to target your adoptive parents..." Issei gritted his teeth in anger, with the others also getting angry. However, they had to find a way to help them. Issei soon realised something, which was picked up by Imperius and Juniper, as he spoke, "Of course, how could I forget!"
"Issei, what is wrong?" Juniper asked to which Issei gave a smile and spoke, "Yes, there is a way..." He turned to Jade and spoke
"I have an idea...Jade, do you still have the Interdimensional Portal with you?" Issei asked to which Jade responded, "I do...but we cannot bring in many people, especially from Dracon's world or even the dimension that helped Aunt Willow of that world...the device has the power for only two people..."
Jade spoke with sadness and anger, as Issei spoke, "There is no need for that many people..." The others were surprised, they would be needing more than two people, as Issei spoke.
"Put in these co-ordinates and make a Physical Contact with them...Dracon is not the only Issei that will be here..." Issei gave her two-co-ordinates, Hizuru realised this and had a smile knowing what Issei plans on doing, as Jade analysed them and spoke, "These aren't the worlds that I am familiar with?"
"Exactly, these belonged to two of my friends...it is time we bring in our multiverse...or I should say, the Isseiverse to assist us.." Jade realised this and spoke, "I understand dad, I will head to the laboratory.."
ssei spoke in response, "I am coming with you, someone needs to inform them that it is me who called them here.."
"In that case we will stay back, and stop Dracon's advance, or slow down if needed..." Issei nodded, he then spoke, as he and Jade left the room and headed to laboratory.
*Scene Change*
Jade's Laboratory, 6:00 AM
Issei and Jade entered into the laboratory, as he spoke, "Been a while, since I have come here.."
"Yeah, was surprised that Dracon left this place intact...but we can make do with what we have. You need to give me a minute to set things up though.." Issei nodded as Jade started to set up the machine, he waited for a while, as Jade had spoken,
"All set...communication has been made.." Issei nodded as he spoke with a serious tone,
"Leave the rest to me, guard the lab to make sure Dracon or his other Generals don't show up..." Issei spoke as Jade nodded, he then gave her the Star of Eden and Judgement of Shamash while deactivating the nanomachines.
"Use this..." Jade nodded as she spoke, "Leave it to me..." Jade left, as Issei spoke, "Hey both of you, it's me, Arcadia, let me explain the situation..."
Issei explained his situation to the two figures, as they nodded in understanding, once this was done, Issei ended the word, "We need your help, cause Dracon will soon come to your worlds as well..."
In the meantime, Jade was watching over the area, as she could see several troopers that had arrived in magic circles, these were white troopers with angelic armor, which were Black Arms Zenith Angels, powered by Zenith Tempest.
The angels immediately unleashed their bubbles upon her, as Jade avoided these bubbles, these bubbles were unique as they can completely make the person lose their will to fight. She used the Judgement of Shamash to burn down the bubbles, as the Angels soon prayed and unleashed bolts of lightning upon Jade, who blocked the attack with a magic barrier.
She soon used the Star of Eden to unleash multiple black holes that absorbed the lightning and quickly used the Judgement of Shamash forcing them behind as she generated a huge Black hole while shouting.
"Synthetic Black Hole!" Jade unleashed a very powerful Black Hole, that completely absorbed the soldiers destroying their very being, they screamed and shouted in pain, as they spoke
"No please, I don't want to die!" Another Angel then spoke, "We will not die, hang on.."
The angels used their wings to prevent themselves from falling into the Black Holes but Jade was not going to let that happen. She immediately shot the wings making them exclaim with pain as their bodies were starting to get dissolved, with Jade speaking, "Survive or be destroyed, there is no other choice.."
Jade spoke with a serious tone, she always wanted to say that line for once, as she soon sensed the machine teleporting people in, with her widening her eyes in surprise.
"No way...so this is what you have thought off..." Jade spoke, as Issei immediately teleported the four back to Juniper, with them also being surprised as Juniper spoke with a smile, "We now have a chance of winning.."
*Scene Change*
Kingdom of Hell, 6:45 AM
Dracon was ravaging across hell with his army of multiple types of troopers charging at them, some were holding the crucified Arcadians including Juniper(Dracon), several of the ships were wiping out entire settlements taking out entire loads of demons like it was nothing.
Soon someone called out to him, and spoke with anger and sadness.
"I did not want to believe this to be true, but out of all the people I expected to become a monster, you were the last person.." Dracon gave a glance and flinched when he saw that face, it was Persephone who had spoken, she was joined by Hades, both of whom were angered and horrified at what this Issei has become, he changed all because of a series of events that made his life miserable, they detested the Faction Leaders for killing their counterparts and Nicholas, along with Carmilla for killing Ddraig, but now, he was in front of them, as their biggest enemy. as Dracon soon composed himself and spoke
"It seems like you have finally arrived, Persephone of this world, and Hades of this world, so quick to your demises, I presume that you will contradict me wrong!" Hades shook his head and spoke with a scowl, "Wouldn't be the first time.."
"Besides, considering what you are doing right now, murdering billions in the name of keeping your world intact, believing your fate is nothing but to bring misery and death, I wouldn't be surprised if you fall, like History has proven time after time, that all tyrants no matter how strong they are, one day fall." Dracon only shook his head, as he spoke, "Not this one, Hades. After all, history is written by the victors, while the losers fade into the sands of history, forgotten and destroyed.."
Hades couldn't respond to which Persephone spoke, "I was starting to believe that I knew who you were behind that mask of Dracon but now, it feel like it may be impossible, my son can never be as vile and cruel as you! He would never perform atrocities as you did!"
"Issei Hyoudou was weak, he is now dead because of the ones you call friends and family and the Leaders from the Black Arms." Persephone closed her eyes, as many could see the anguish in her face, she knew what happened to this iteration of Issei, and could only imagine the horrors he had to face, however there was one thing that angered not only her, but also Hades.
Their son was not weak.
Persephone spoke with anger in her voice, "My son is not weak! Remember that Dracon, he fought till the very end, even with the torture he never broke, until that bitch destroyed his only friend...but know this, my son will never be weak!"
Dracon could only shake his head, and spoke, "Denying it won't change the truth, but worry not, soon enough I will change your Issei too...I managed to bring the world to true peace, I mean look at my troops, a mix of Arcadian and Outsiders present, whoops, Four Kingdoms, they refused to accept my choice of working together, so I had to convince them by strength and fear, and it turns out, it worked till the very end."
Hades and Persephone couldn't respond to this, but they wanted to believe that somewhere Issei is there under Dracon, but they were unable to see that he was still there. Hades then spoke
"Dracon, do you remember on how you saved Persephone all those years ago?" Dracon went silent for a moment, he did remember on how he saved her, it took a while since those memories were buried deep inside as he looked down, his hair covering his face.
"So you do remember, this means that despite everything, there is a small part in you, a very small part that shows you remember the man you once were." Hades and Persephone tried to reach out to them, however Dracon didn't want to remember, he shouted in response while holding his head.
"No! I won't let myself be covered in weakness!! I will never let myself be reveled in weakness ever again!! Never again, will I be as weak as Issei Hyoudou!!" Hades and Persephone could only be taken aback, the torture and his suffering has warped his brain to such extents. Persephone teared up, she couldn't even imagine the torture he had to go through, he lost everything, has no one to live for, but presumes that his whole life was to bring nothing but anguish.
But before Dracon could do anything, he was sent flying from the Black Hole blast sending him a few metres away, as the attacker was revealed to be none other than Issei.
"Stay the fuck away from my parents, bastard!!" Persephone and Hades gave a smile, as Issei asked, "Are you harmed?"
"We are unharmed, but..." Persephone gave a sad glance to Dracon who was gritting his teeth in anger, as he spoke, "Stay back, I will handle this.."
Issei looked towards his counterpart, as Dracon spoke, "How are you even alive?! I thought I slayed a vital part in your body!"
"You can thank the Rebels, they saved me despite sharing the same face.." Dracon scowled as he soon spoke coldly, "It matters not, I managed to kill you, but I can do it again..."
"I would like to see you try.." Dracon only smirked as he spoke, "Have it your way then, you are but a fool, you could have ruled over the world if you wanted to!? Enforced your own way of peace to this world, but since you prefer to chose it by the peaceful way, taking you and the rest out is my only option, since you will keep posing a problem.."
Issei got in front of his parents to protect them, he was waiting for someone as they spoke, "Not we have anything to say about it!"
Multiple energy and magic blasts were aimed towards to Dracon and his forces, as the attack decimated a portion of his forces, Persephone and Hades were surprised as Hades asked, "Ise, what was that?"
They looked up to see a figure, that was glaring at anger it had glowing orange eyes meant for sight and a covering that covered his entire face, his helmet was a mixture of brown and white, while the rest of his body was the same color except instead of being white it was red clothing meant for a bit of comfort.
This was Concept! Issei or Issei(Concept), as he leaped down and spoke, "Sorry for the late entrance.."
"Not a problem, other me.." Persephone was not surprised, since she had met him in that different world, as Concept! Issei removed his helmet revealing it to be a younger version of her son, "As much as I would love an reunion, we should save that for later..."
Persephone nodded in response and gave a smile, at least one of the good Isseis are here, as Issei(Concept) asked, "Where is he?"
Issei looked around to see another figure, this was a man wearing a red ranger suit, he had a helmet that was akin to pirate themed, he wore a red jacket with black tight suit, he wore a golden buckle belt, and red boots.
This was Gamer! Issei or Issei(Gamer), as Dracon gritted his teeth in anger, Issei(Gamer) spoke, "I am afraid that is as far as you go, my jealous counterpart..."
The two members of Isseiverse was here to help, and all they knew is that they had to deal with him as soon as possible, else their worlds were done for.
