*The Subterrains, Vytal, Remnant; June 14, 2021; 7:28 PM*

The Elder Cinder heard something land behind her.

"Fall..." It said.

Cinder turned around, deactivating the Absorption Charge and facing the being, leaving Alex to struggle and writhe in pain.

"Who are you?!" She demanded.

The figure was dark, nearly 8 feet tall and looked like the fusion of a pony, human, and griffon. Human-like only in stature, winged, clawed, hooved, and strangely familiar.

"I'm not after you... My... Father.. sent me on a.. uh... 'fetch quest'.." The being muttered, hesitant and confused.

"A Fetch Quest? We're in the midst of a battle. What could this "Father" of yours possibly want?" Cinder demanded in an even tone.

"Just a few... um.. thingies... I think they're called Relics.. and anything I can find of impotence.." The creature stated in a childlike fashion.

"Importance is the word you're looking for." Cinder deadpanned.

"Right... I'm still learning words... "

'What the hell is this thing? It's like a 4 year old's mind in Lilith's body..!' Cinder thought.

"I'd venture to guess somewhere close by. If you don't mind, I was in the middle of-"

Alex weakly placed Cinder in a chokehold, causing her to drop the Absorption Charge and grasp at Alex's arm.

"You've... really... resorted to... trying to make me tap out?" Cinder choked in a mocking tone.

"This was supposed to snap your neck, you old hag!" Alex glared, barely able to gain the power to finish her off.

Alex threw her away, and concentrated all the power in his body..

Only for his power to fizzle out into a weak Aura, barely half of an average Huntsman's power.

"My my... Not so big without all that stolen energy." Cinder mocked.

Alex grabbed his sword, hacking away at Cinder angrily as the being stood and watched.

"Osiris! What's the holdup?!" Osiris heard Callan shout through his earpiece.

"..I'm not quite sure what's going on... You said the 'Captain' guy is able to destroy a city... but... I don't think he can do that.." Osiris replied.

"...What?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm watching a fight right now and this other lady is beating him." Osiris explained as Cinder began to beat Alex down with her bare hands.

"...You're serious?"

"Yeah... That thingy she dropped, can you see it?" Osiris asked, grabbing the Absorption Charge.

"Osiris. Kid. Just because I can speak to you doesn't mean I can see-"

"Should I bring it back with the other thingies?"

"Alright... But bring the Captain as well.. I have to find out what's going on here.." Callan replied.

"Okay!" Osiris smiled, flying up behind Cinder.

"Also, I need this guy here."

"Wait wha-?" Cinder asked as Osiris knocked her out with a single punch...

...As well as blowing her across the entire battlefield.

Alex stared up in awe... Just what was this thing?

Osiris turned to Alex holding the Absorption Charge.

"Can you hold this please?"

"Y-Yeah, sure.." Alex replied as Osiris swept him off of his feet and proceeded to bridal-carry him, flying all the way to a nearby, homemade Gateway.

"Stay here for a little while. I'll be back with a couple of other thingies my Father needs and we'll go and see him. Bye!"

"Wait, what?!"

Osiris flew off, leaving Alex to sit back and try to process what the hell just happened.

"Um... Of all the shit I've seen.. This has to be the weirdest.." Alex muttered to himself.

*Meanwhile*

"FACE MY WRATH, MOTHER!!!"

"CUT OUT ALL THAT EDGY SHIT AND SIT DOWN, YOUNG MAN!!!" Yang roared back defiantly.

Both warriors traded slashes and blows, managing to equally parry eachother's attacks.

"I'm pretty much equally matched with Alpha... and Alex somehow managed to kill him, what the hell?" Yang thought in annoyance.

Alpha teleported behind Yang, and with one sweep of his sword, a small stretch of forest grew around them. Yang blocked the attack, only for that same stretch of forest to be rendered naught but ash.

"You stand against the forces of Creation itself..! I AM A GOD!!!" Alpha yelled, stabbing the air as a lush, green, expansive mountain range erected and grew behind Yang.

"AND I CAN TEAR IT DOWN JUST AS FAST, KIDDO!" Yang retorted, rearing up an explosive blast, creating a massive crater around them, effectively forming a small canyon on Vytal.

Alpha dodged the blast, and charged against the ensuing shockwave, managing to successfully pierce Yang's chest.

"IT'S OVER!!!" Alpha bellowed, ripping the blade upwards in a sharp motion.

It was a fatal blow. One that would kill...

If it were an ordinary blade.

As the blade cut through Yang's body, the wounds re-sealed, leaving the target completely unharmed.

"And what was that supposed to be?" Yang asked with a smug grin.

"B-But that makes no sense!" Alpha gasped, slashing away at Yang, forming rivers and waterfalls around them as Yang stepped towards him, powering down.

"It's the Relic of Creation. It can't kill. It can't destroy. Now, this, on the other hand.." Yang grinned, raising her weapons.

"S-STAND DOWN!!" Alpha yelled, hacking away, forming wildlife and further repairing the scarred battlefield.

"Or what, you'll make a few little deer? A fancy cliffside I can raise you kids at? How about a nice new roadway connecting Vytal to the rest of Remnant without the need of a boat? I kinda get why Alex beat you now." Yang smirked.

"Fall..! FALL!!!"

"You're a tough guy, you've got a lot of experience under your belt, and I'm sure you're okay at handling an army of mercenaries.. But you don't account for the unexpected shit." Yang continued, grabbing Alpha by the neck, causing him to drop the Relic.

"...Oh, and it looks like your army has that same weak point!" Yang winked.

"ADENKORPS, PUSH THEM PAST ZE RIDGE!!" Alex S 1-14 hollered as an army forced the Red Star back.

"Push them back! Don't let them escape!!" Alex B 0-12 yelled.

"Keep moving! They're moving into the... wait, Canyon?" Alex O 9-72 added.

Alpha stood up, seeing the rest of his Red Star being pushed into the newly-formed canyon.

"I think this is the part where you run away." Yang taunted.

"Or what?!"

"Or you'll have to deal with about... I dunno, 3 Alexes who are all stronger than you.. Oh, and also our Alex, who I'm sure is stronger than all of them." Yang continued.

Alpha growled.

"You've bested me... I'll give you credit for that.. RED STAR! RETREAT TO THE SHIPS!!" Alpha roared, using the Relic to create Airships similar to the Knight's Myriad just ahead of their position.

Alpha and Yang soon heard something land nearby... Neither were certain as to what it was.

"What is that?" Alpha demanded.

"It kinda looks like Lilith..." Yang figured.

Osiris stood up from the rubble, shying away from the two warriors.

"H-Hello.." Osiris greeted.

"Um.. Hi..?" Yang tilted her head quizzically.

"State your business, then leave, creature!" Alpha ordered.

"I have a name, you know.." Osiris insisted, rather hurt by Alpha's harshness.

"Cut the... you are a kid, right..? Anyways, cut the slack. What's your name?" Yang smiled.

"Osiris-"

Alpha had both the Relic of Creation and his sword drawn, and in sweeping, hard strikes, tried to kill Osiris.

"I'm pretty sure I need this.." Osiris grabbed the Relic by it's blade, lifting Alpha up along with it.

Alpha desperately kicked at Osiris' shin, causing him to flinch, flinging Alpha on top of one of the Airships.

"T-This isn't over, Annihilator!! I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN THE CORNERS OF THE COSMOS IF I HAVE TO!!!" Alpha shouted as the rest of the surviving Inquisition returned to the ships; Beta, Gamma, Scarecrow, Emerald, Mercury, both Cinders, Morning Star, and the newly initiated Kappa: Julius Crux.

"FINAL FLAAASH!!!" Vegeta roared as his attack decimated one of the ships.

As the battle drew to a close above the newly formed Canyon, Osiris turned to Yang.

"I'm gonna need that too, if you don't mind." Osiris simply stated.

"I kinda do mind-"

Osiris had already flash-stepped in front of Yang, using the momentum to carry his fist into Yang's right temple, temporarily knocking her out and giving him enough time to grab the Relic of Destruction.

"Sorry about that, but this is kinda important... My Father needs all this stuff for some reason."

"Halt, Beast!"

Osiris turned to find three alternate Alexes behind him, all glaring at him.

"I think I've seen you all before... I left the other guy at the portal nearby.." Osiris explained.

"Wait, you found this version of us already?" Alex O 9-72 asked in shock.

"Last anyone heard, he was in some kind of trouble."

"He was... This mean lady was beating him, but I took care of it."

"You mean to tell us you beat Cinder?" Alex S 1-14 gasped.

"No surprise there. Look.." Alex B 0-12 pointed at the unconscious Yang.

All three Alexes powered down in shock.

"Sorry about that... I'm sure my father can explain all of this. I was just about to go back home." Osiris shrugged.

"Well, any suggestions?" Alex S 1-14 asked.

"Your Adenkorps need you here. And I'm pretty sure your Cinder still needs you. I'll tag along with.. I'm sure it's a him..." Alex B 0-12 decided.

"Smart thinking..." Alex O 9-72 nodded.

"Alright then, follow me." Osiris smiled, flying off with both Relics.

"Take it easy, me's." Alex B 0-12 waved, following close behind.

*The Subterrains Command Room; June 14, 2021; 9:00 AM*

"Alright, everyone's accounted for. Let's go over just what the hell happened. Andromeda?" Kat introduced.

"Yes, Director. We lost 634,212 men in the first 45 minutes of the battle, losing ground all the way to the main Cave System. It wasn't until we recieved backup and additional, experimental weaponry that we were able to turn the tide. We retook the hangars within 10 minutes and launched an aerial offensive that drove the Inquisition back to the newly formed Stella Canyon. Alpha then called his forces back for a full retreat, with 3,325,472 losses, including the entire initial force of 1,250,122 being wiped out. If it hadn't been for Alpha pulling his forces back, we would have lost this battle." Andromeda explained.

"We lost nearly ALL OF OUR FORCES?" Alex S 1-14 demanded in shock

"Hey, man! When the bad guys pull 5 million troops out of their assholes, it's kinda hard to fight back!" Delirious shouted.

"Of course, it doesn't help that OUR CAPTAIN AND THE GIRL VERSION OF HIM TOOK OFF." Weiss shouted.

"And then there was Julius turning on Spyden and I.. None of us saw it coming, and it made being able to help the Captain worse.." Illiya explained.

"That little miscreant! Might as well have named him Judas Crux!" Ultimus growled angrily.

"I was shocked when I heard Spyden was killed.. He's probably informed the entire clan by now." Primis, now aligned with the E.R.C, explained.

"That doesn't matter, where the hell is our son?!" Jason demanded.

"Saigo... Always the first to flee." Saisho smugly grinned to himself.

"Saisho, I'm sure whatever it was, it couldn't have been too serious." Chūkan figured.

"He lost pretty much all of his powers." Blake explained.

"He took off with... something..." Alex O 9-72 answered.

"...You're gonna have to elaborate." Karis explained.

"OSIRIS!" Yang shouted.

"Wait, what?!" Alice gasped.

"As in.. The Osiris?" Oreonna asked.

"He took off with BOTH Relics!" Yang yelled angrily.

"And he left with B 0-12. I left her with the responsibility of giving him the Dimensional Essence!" Twilight shouted desperately.

"WHAT?! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK US TO SYNTHESIZE A SINGLE VIAL?!" Dr. Bright yelled in anger.

"Easy.. We're lucky to be here with our lives.. The best we can hope for is that we'll be properly prepared next time around." Dr. Glass concluded.

"So what's the plan now?" Chūkan wondered.

"I can keep an eye on the Inquisition. They trusted me enough with the Attack on Magnolia and what happened today. They are several steps ahead of us now. It's only befitting we're able to meet them as they come." Primis decided.

"I've made plans to center the new base in the Canyon. We'll make contact with as many other universes we can and find a way to build an armada to meet theirs."

"With Alpha's Relic gone, he won't be able to do much." Ruby insisted enthusiastically.

"Don't be so certain. Alpha wasn't Alpha just because of his lackluster battle plans and grandiose equiptment. Military planning isn't his expertise, it's managing trade and business deals. He'll try to meet up with some of his former clients." Jason explained.

"Like who?" Mako wondered.

"Earth, for starters. The United States had active trade deals with the Inquisitors. All they need to do is aid one of those Restoration Groups, help them take Washington, and they're in the clear as far as material goes." Alice added.

"Adenien... Is also in a fragile state... Supreme Leader Krete is growing old, and we aren't sure where Protá stands on the Inquisitors since he became Commander of the Ryder Corps after their reign. It doesn't help that Lithia was decimated by a former Inheritor." Ultimus explained.

"The Kretes, Emphas, and Crux Clans have always been able to hold onto the Throne and Sword of Adenien since the beginning. We just have to make sure the seat doesn't go to a Crux." Saisho figured.

"The Adenienite Public is showing the Crux Clan more support since they were all massacred by the same former inheritor." Primis elaborated.

"Princess Celestia, Luna, and Cadence can help..!" Rainbow insisted.

"I don't think so... Celestia, Luna, and Cadence were all killed by Corvus too. In their absence, a proxy war broke out between them, the Dragons, and their allies. Remember: We were all taught that Celestia was immortal. Equestria doesn't trust it's own leadership anymore than Adenien or Earth does it's own." Twilight sighed.

"All this in mind, Remnant is facing another Great War on Equestria. Atlas. Vale, Vacuo, Mistral. Their citizens are all dying for a cause they don't care about. At least, that's what Uncle Qrow's telling me. We've practically lost Remnant too." Ruby added.

"So we have no plans, no influence, and our main asset is powerless and gone. All the while, Earth, Remnant, Equestria, and Adenien are all primed to become Puppet States for the Inquisition. We've all but lost before it even got started." Dempsey sighed.

"Fiore's leadership is the only one that really seems stable, despite having to repair Magnolia twice. Fairy Tail has gone dark, though." Kat sighed.

Alex S 1-14 stood up.

"Ich habe eine Idee!" he shouted.

"What?" Karis wondered.

"Think about it. Aside from the 400,000 soldiers here, and my own Adenkorps, We're all powerful enough to face entire armies, correct?" Alex S 1-14 asked.

"Roughly.." Ruby smiled shyly.

"Und Kat, Karis, Mako..! You've all worked for a government, Ja?"

"Just me. I was a Senator for a couple years before I was moved into Directing our SCP." Kat explained.

"Und that is enough! Call Fairy Tail over here..! Call our people..! We can form our own Nation!" Alex S 1-14 announced.

"WHAT?!" The entire room demanded before going entirely into a fuss.

"SETTLE DOWN NOW!" Alex S 1-14 ordered.

The whole room then quieted down.

"Think about it.. Vytal isn't a Kingdom, correct?"

"Not really. Nobody wants to stake claim." Weiss replied.

"Then it's technically Terra Nullis, Ja?"

"What does that mean?" Yang wondered.

"Unclaimed land...!" Twilight nodded.

"So.. If we claim zis land now, and we're capable of defending it, then we could, in perfect legality, form our own Nation!" Alex S 1-14.

"Wait, slow down..! We can't just have a military run it's own nation! We'll need citizens..!" Twilight insisted.

"We could bring in my people! Trust me when I say zis, Princess... The situation in my home country of Germany is in a deeply complicated state now.. It and it's people could fall in the wrong hands.." Alex S 1-14 decided.

"Wait, what year is it in your time?" Vanoss asked.

"June, 1921. In March this year alone, There was an another... What's ze word..? Aufstand."

"Uprising." Richtofen translated.

"Wait, Another? As in.. More than one." Cade gaped.

"Ja... Before Yang, Cade and I formed the Adenkorps, I was part of a paramilitary unit that eliminated another... Uprising, as Herr Richtofen called it.. Two years ago." Alex S 1-14 stated.

"It lines up, historically, at least." Mako confirmed.

"Something is coming, I know it is, that will take advantage of ze current instability and... how you say.. Go off the deep end. Most of the men I met in that unit had some... extreme beliefs.." Alex S 1-14 added.

"I don't think that's the point... We have the resources, the potential Citizenship, and the potential Government forming.." Alex O 9-72 figured.

"Why not make it a reality?" Rainbow decided.

"This reminds me of when I helped form the Federation..! Alright... We have to define our citizenship differently.." Kat figured.

"Why not allow people to immigrate via dimensional portals?" Dr. Clef figured.

"It worked for America, It'll work for us..!" Alex S 1-14 grinned.

"Well... I guess if this is really our plan, what's our endgame? A war on four fronts? You Germans could barely handle two." Karis figured.

"Again, we're each strong enough to fend off entire armies, and with all the others weakening enough as it is, we could potentially expand this little Island into an empire given the time." Yang nodded.

"Richtig! Now... What shall we call our experiment?" Alex S 1-14 wondered.

"How about... The Republic of Vytal?" Ruby wondered.

"I agree in this nation becoming a Republic, but this isn't just for Remnant.. It's for all of us." Rarity stated.

"True... How about a name that connects all of us together.. Something true to us exclusively.." Blake announced.

"What's your suggestion?" Alex O 9-72 asked.

"The Republic of Concord." Blake replied.

"...What does Concord mean?" Ruby asked.

"I'm pretty sure it's a type of jelly.." Vanoss replied.

"Yes, but that isn't the point..!" Mako facepalmed.

"How about... The Republic of Concordia. No grape jelly confusion, and it gives it that flair a country would usually have. And I'm pretty sure it still works with Monty's Color Name Rule." Pinkie explained.

"...How do you..?"

"I have my ways... I have my ways..." Pinkie replied mysteriously.

"But what does 'concord' mean?" Ruby wondered.

Summer Rose turned to her daughter, smiling proudly.

"Unity."

*Meanwhile, Location Unknown*

"Alright... We're here..!" Osiris announced as Alex A 0-12 and B 0-12 walked in alongside him.

"Have you brought our guest?" Alex heard someone ask.

"Yep. And I got you everything you needed..!" Osiris added, spilling all the contents in his arms onto the table.

Alex took a moment to look over what Osiris had acquired.

"Let's see... I'm pretty sure that's the Relic of Destruction... and it that's the case, that must be the Relic of Creation... and that thing Cinder used to take away my powers..." Alex mumbled to himself.

"What was that?" Alex B 0-12 asked.

"Nothing.. Just-"

"-Thinking to yourself, I get it." she replied.

'Right... We're exactly alike, apparently except for the fact that you're a girl." Alex thought.

An older gentleman walked into the room. He was not quite elderly, but he was a far cry from being middle-aged. The old man had greying black hair and green eyes.

"My, my... The Great Alex Walker... Never did I expect for you to wander into my laboratory." The man greeted.

"Right... Your... 'Son'... here said you wanted him to bring me along, right?" Alex asked.

"Of course... I was initially confused why you'd be losing to an enemy whose power you've eclipsed for a while now... I've been keeping tabs on everything that has happened here." The man explained.

"Right... What's your name?" Alex wondered.

"My name is Dr. Xavier Callan. I have my Ph.Ds in Biotechnology, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering, Theoretical and Applied Physics, and Genetics. I feel I should mention I was both a former SCP Scientist, and a former Inquisitor Scientist." Dr. Callan explained.
