*The Subterrains, Vytal; June 14, 2021; 6:30 AM*

A shroud of light mist drifted across the plains outside of the Subterrainian Base as troop formations formed a line outside the main tunnels. Helipads below had been completely stocked for the past 12 hours in preparation for the coming battle.

Unity had already formed a strategy by this point, as well as several backup plans.

Vanoss would lead the infantry, his crew and 1/6 of the standing army, Karis would assist Mako, Liss, and Fairy Tail, as well as another 1/6 of the ground forces, and Kat, in command of the SCP Mobile Task Force codenamed 'Nine Tailed Fox' would be in charge of another 1/6.

The rest of the ground forces would be under the direct command of Ruby, Jaune, and Sun.

The Huntsmen would be in charge of defending special targets, such as helipads, missile silos, and generators. JNPR and SSSN would be in charge of those sections.

The Elements were mainly in charge of building magic defenses and fighting HVT Inquisitors.

Finally, The primary force of the reformed ERC was now known as the Stella Custodes; Star Guardians.

Alex, Team RWBY, Ultimus and his family, Summer, Saisho, Cade, Auburn, Oreonna, and Vegeta made up this special team of 14 that would be in charge of eliminating any High Target Inquisitors, as well as taking care of any 'Interfering parties', like the Illuminati, Lilith, or this 'Osiris' Corvus warned about.

"Well then, let's finish what we started. Shall we?" Alex turned back to face the rest.

"You realize I'm only taking part in this because I haven't killed anything in years, yes?" Vegeta scowled.

"That's fine as long as you're with us." Alex shrugged.

"We've got company..!" Illiya shouted.

"How many?" Yang asked.

"... Oh shit." Ultimus gaped, grabbing the binoculars from Illiya.

"Ohhhhh nooooo..." Ruby stared,

"What?! What's the matter?!" Cade gasped.

"Um... Alex, you're... seeing this, right?" Vanoss asked.

"HOLY SHIT." Kat shouted.

"HOW IN TAUTARUS ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH THIS?!" Twilight yelled.

"What the hell are you fuckers on about-?" Alex demanded, looking to the horizon.

All any of them could see was a dense line of metal equipment.

Most of them looked like massive, 12 meter tall, 124 meter long artillery guns rather than tanks, yet they seemed to move faster than an average car and seemed to be armed to the teeth with laser cannons and Tesla guns. There were several P.1000 Ratte model tanks bolstering the intense line of artillery guns. It didn't exactly help that the whole line was littered with Infantry transports several dozen meters wide, speeder bikes, and the like. And those were just Ground Units.

The Air Units the Inquisition had covered the sky in a sea of black and grey as Helicopters, Fighter Jets, Bullheads, and the future equivalent to AC-130s.

Then there was the General Infantry... At least One Million troops marching alongside the massive line of tanks and troop transports.

"Andromeda... What are those..?" Alex asked, regarding the heavy line of artillery guns alongside the Rattes.

"Landkreuzer Model P. 1500s. Fittingly named Monsters. They were also designed as Nazi Super-Heavy Tanks, much like the Ratte. Whereas the Ratte weighed 1000 Tons, the Monster would weigh 1500 Tons." Andromeda explained.

"Do these have any sort of weakness?" Alex asked again.

"Most of these tanks had a tendency to destroy the roads and railways they drove over, and they were notorious for being slow, but it appears they've fixed those problems with Adenienite Tech." Andromeda explained once more.

"Kat, I need you and your MTF to link up with Evan's crew and find a way to deal with that enemy ground force. Jaune and Sun, deal with that enemy air." Alex ordered quickly.

"What about the plan?!" Mako demanded.

"Forget the plan! You and the rest of the Stella Custodes to defend the main base! You guys'll have to be the last line of defense-!"

"Stand aside, Boy!" Vegeta ordered, shoving Alex aside.

Vegeta glared at the amassing Inquisitor army, preparing a massive energy blast that pulsated in the palm of his hand.

"BIG BANG ATTACK!"

The blast incinerated the main line instantaneously, only worsening as Vegeta began spam-firing attacks into what remained of that last defensive line.

Alex stood in shock as the threat was blown away before his eyes, watching in sheer shock as the entire enemy line was reduced to smoldering metal and smoke.

Vegeta's hands were positively alight as he soon stopped, leaving behind a bit of smoke on his hands as the attacking force, in it's entirety, was incinerated.

"...Holy shit." Yang gaped.

"Now. Did we really need all that strategy, boy? Your power is over half of my own, and this barely took even 1 Percent!" Vegeta gloated.

Alex shook his head in surprise, completely blindsided by the fact that their opposing force, in all it's might, was obliterated in mere seconds.

"Well, ladies and gents, let's go home. Vegeta just won the fuckin' war." Alex shrugged, walking away as the group heard a terrifying new sound:

A magical-sounding 'whoosh', and a large amount of engine noises, marching, and energy cannon charging.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Vegeta shouted in anger.

Alex promptly turned around...

...Only to face an even bigger army. Hundreds of these P.1500 Monsters, with even larger tanks falling into formation, Hover-Jeeps, Bullheads, Landing Crafts, and hovering laser cannons. This new invasion force was bolstered by a ground army at least 5 million strong, and was directly led by the Inquistors Alpha, Beta, Gamma, AKA Rufio Vincent, Adam Taurus, Emerald, Mercury, Scarecrow, Epsilon AKA Iron Talon, Theta, Eta, and Iota, along with Jäger

Along with Both Cinders, Corvus, and Morning Star.

To make matters worse, the entire army now stood mere feet away from Alex, as opposed to across the horizon.

"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?!" Kat gasped.

"THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY!!!" Delirious shouted.

"I CALL HAX!" Sun yelled.

Alex could only stare, mouth agape, at most of his enemies reborn.

"It truly has been too long, hasn't it, Catalyst?" Alpha scowled, retaining his composure.

"I'd venture to say 'just like old times,' but I wasn't around for that, Alpha." Cade glared coldly at his elder self.

"... Is that supposed to be me? Well, at least I know you're a man of your word, father." Alpha retorted.

"I'm nothing like you.. and I never will be." Cade scowled.

Alpha stepped forward, facing his other self.

"We shall see."

Both Alpha and Cade transformed to their highest forms, with Alpha's Evolved Warrior and Cade's Enlightened Demigod.

"So you truly have ascended past me. However, Power means nothing compared to raw skill." Alpha grinned, raising his weapon.

"Skill, or experience? Because I have plenty of both." Cade smirked, raising his Conductor and Sickle.

Saisho and Beta squared off against one another, each one raising his weapon.

"Traitor! You fight for him?!" Beta growled.

"I fight for myself just as always, you puppet!" Saisho roared, charging at Beta as both swords collided, following in a flurry of attacks.

"Ah, Daughter. We haven't finished our little chat yet." Corvus smiled deviously.

Yang wasted no time, opening up with attack after attack, punching, hacking, shooting, and flipping over her mother as Corvus deftly blocked and countered with her own weapon.

Adam and Blake shared a long, cold stare before the two opened up an assault against eachother, former master and student perfectly countering eachother's moves.

"Even after our return, you still wound me?" Adam mockingly gaped.

Blake left no reply as Oreonna charged past her, leaping at the elder Cinder's throat.

"Little cat. A battlefield is no place for you." The eldest Cinder shook her head disapprovingly.

"The only place for you is in a six foot hole, you bitch!!" Oreonna shouted as Auburn leaped in for the assist, both warriors attacking their old enemy.

Ruby and Summer worked together to take on Emerald, Mercury, and Morning Star as a flurry of magic attacks flying between them as Ultimus' Cousins, Illiya, Spyden, and Julius took on Theta, Eta, Iota, and Jäger.

Ultimus wasn't far off, with him squaring off against Primis, who had just joined the battle alongside Vegeta against Gamma.

Weiss alone was able to deftly and decisively take on Scarecrow and Epsilon, with Weiss being the only one with sense of calm and sanity on their particular triad.

This only led to Alex glaring against the younger Cinder Fall, who had died at Alex's hand years before.

"I suppose this leaves us. Shall we settle our score now, Alexander?" Cinder shrugged, unsheathing both of her old swords.

Alex grinned wickedly, unsheathing his blade; his Agartha's Thunder.

"I've grown over these past few years, Cinder..." Alex smirked, transforming all the way to his Mythic Warrior state.

"...I do hope you've thought this through." Alex glared, raising his weapon in his familiar stance as both warriors collided.

As the Inquisitors and the newly formed Stella Custodes waged their battle, the entire invading force the Inquisitors had to offer had charged past them, towards the unprepared army of E.R.C at the Subterrains.

"Listen, everyone! You're all outnumbered about five-to-one! My name is Andromeda, and for the sake of your survival. I'll be your battlefield organizer. We need more protection at our launch sites at the moment, so Units 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 need to report to the launch sites immediately! Units 2, 4, 8, and 9 need to act as our first line of defense! All huntsmen, huntresses, and Agents need to report with the other SCP Doctors below. They'll be ready with additional weaponry and support. Stay strong, everyone!" Andromeda explained quickly as the Red Star and E.R.C engaged for the first time in 5 years.

*The Overlook; Kai 0-00 Alpha; June 14, 2021; 6:59 AM;

Arturis and Minerva, as well as a small procession of 3 Illuminati acolytes, walked towards the center of the Overlook, an immense station floating thousands of miles above the surface of Provinence. The Overlook was an elaborate structure, a single, spherical station surrounded by nine rings, all made with artisan-crafted ivory, gold, and ebony. The entrance to the Overlook, where the procession now stood, was a reflection of the saintly nature of the estate, as well as it's sole caretaker.

The Procession of Five entered, as the lone, hooded figure in the center, meditating a few feet above the ornate throne at it's center, turned and faced them, lowering herself down to face them.

"I have been expecting you, Arturis. I see you have brought forth your procession, which implies you intend to ask something of me today." The figure calmly stated, her eyes open and piercing into the souls of everyone in attendance.

The three acolytes stopped dead in their tracks.

Minerva gazed in awe as Arturis stepped up to the ornate circle in front of the throne.

"Oracle... What you've foreseen has yet again come to pass... Our spies indicate the coming of-!" Arturis began.

"Ever the worrywart, are you not?" The figure, now revealed as the Oracle, interrupted.

"This is serious! Your last prediction has led my order into a new golden age, yes, and I need to be certain The Illuminati will survive your next prediction!" Arturis shouted.

"If it is truth you seek, you may not want to hear it. You did not heed my prior warning, Arturis. The Dead have risen by your hands. The Fabric of the Universe is being shaken by your Inquisitorius once more, and by your own machinations, your order will be swallowed whole." The Oracle explained.

Arturis glared at the Oracle, enraged.

"And what of the Great Annihilator?! Is he of no concern?!" Arturis shouted.

"Osiris is indeed a concern. His actions will destroy countless futures. He will be stopped in some, he will claim victory in others. Do not concern yourselves with yet another Catalyst Point, High Lord Arturis. Change is only a danger to those who cannot adapt."

"And how do you expect us to adapt to HIM?!" Arturis demanded.

"Funny you should mention. Would you like to hear my next prediction, Arturis?"

Arturis glared, then shook his head.

"Very well.."

The Oracle's eyes shined bright white as several voices echoed her own.

"The Forces of Creation and Destruction shall collide. Adjacent entities shall meet. Armies of Darkness and Light shall join forces as reality collides. And under the tutelage of mighty warriors, the Catalysts shall reach their zenith. The Ancient Orders shall be left behind in the wake of the Great Cataclysm, and I shall finally be free."
