“Can’t go anywhere without people whistling huh…” Ben grumbled, wearing his enchanted clothes so his ‘full assets’ weren’t on display even with him being fully clothed. “Also, who’s hissing at me?” He wondered while looking around for who hissed at them.

“That would be me.” Eclipsa declared proudly. “My version of a woof~”

“Well…” Ben blushed a little. “How are you doing Eclipsa? And...what do you think?”

“Hm. Well, you clearly wanted some attention from us… you got it from me, and when Zeke gets out I’m sure they’ll find it equally attractive?”

“I’m not doing this for attention, even if a lot of people would treat me as a sex goddess.” Ben said sheepishly. “But...being a Den Mother is something special...also thank god for enchantments…” Ben muttered.

“Hm. Well if you’ll all excuse me, I’ll take Ben out so we can walk and talk.” Eclipsa said with a flick of her tail as she and Ben exited the house. “So hot stuff, why the change? Oh and as of last night, I am a chick with a dick, blame Zeke.” Eclipsa said as they walked out and in the direction of this ponyville’s park.

“Well...talked to some people. Them saying ‘take a step in Zeke’s shoes’ and...well I’m like this now.” Ben said. “A seven foot tall Den Mother that needs magical undergarments to make sure all my parts aren’t constantly hanging out.” Ben said nervously.

“Yeah, so glad for internal testicles. But hey, as long as you like it that is what matters.” Eclipsa said with a warm, not even flirty smile.

“Well, I’ve gotten closer to Nancy.” The dire wolf said honestly. “Who would be one of your aunts...that sounds weird how I’m the mother/father of your aunt…”

“Trust me, with my family dynamic, that is tame.” Eclipsa said seriously. “Oh, on happy news… I made Zeke smile, and found out that he and I are basically soulmates.”

Ben looked at Eclipsa for a moment. “Um...does this happen to involve...time shenanigans? Like...say one time Zeke went Psycho and murdered his grampa time shenanigans?” He asked, remembering how Zeke really did like this one girl when he was doing some Heart searching stuff a long time ago.

Eclipsa winced. “Yeah, wasn't fun getting that particular memory back… But simply, yes, there is a reason I adapted to femininity like it was second nature… cause it used to be.”

“Sorry to bring that up but...now I know why I saw all of that.” Ben said honestly. “Weird how foreshadowing works huh?”

“Yeah, Authors are a bunch of Lazy, and obvious asshats… but I can't be mad at them… I’m happier than I have been in a long time.” The naga smiled

“And all we needed to do was grow a pair of tits.” The den mother chuckled. “Or...in my case, going from a six to a fifty in less than ten seconds.” He said honestly. “By the by, where’s Zeke? I thought you two literally couldn’t be away from each other?”

“We aren't. He climbed on in on his own accord!” Eclipsa said, hugging herself and giggling in pride.

“I’ve...also talked with some of my wives about that…” The futa dire wolf brought up. “And...they said I should give it a try...and I’m willing to but...I kind of doubt I can fit anymore given how big I am…”

Eclipsa deadpanned and raised an eyebrow. “Love, I can swallow all 20 feet of myself, I think you can fit.”

“Um...I mean you just regrew a pair so I can make a dick joke now…” Ben said honestly. “But I won’t...also jesus that’s a lot.” He said honestly. “So uh...a thing happened not too long ago…” Ben brought up before bringing out a ball of Nothingness...but it had Darkness and Light inside surrounded by Nothingness Thorns and Grey.

“Oh, so we really do have all of each others powers… that'll be fun…. So… how long till I can tap that fluffy ass?” The Naga asked, looking over Ben with hunger.

Ben blushed a little. “I’m...still new to being a woman…” He said nervously. “I haven’t even had full sex with anyone given my dick is now able to be registered as a blunt weapon.” Ben sighed out.

“Love…. Naga are naturally elastic. We can quite literally fit almost anything and anyone inside or mouths and vag.” Eclipsa said, summoning a book on Naga Biology

“Well I don’t fully know things about Naga.” Ben pouted. “Sorry for not knowing things...plus the fact I haven’t even talked to you for like...ever to be perfectly honest.” Ben said, feeling a little bad about that. “Here...Date first, then we can talk about banging alright? I’d like to catch up ya know?”

Eclipsa sighed before giving Ben a smile. “I don’t mind, besides, I don’t know about you, but I just want to relax in the park for now sooo.” Another snap and Eclipsa has a blanket and basket in her hands. “Picnic?”

“I’d love it.” Ben smiled gently. “But I always try to have a date with beautiful ladies before doing the dirty...best to know who your with before sharing something special ya know?”

“First things first, one moment.” She said before closing her eyes. ‘Zeke, you want out? Ben is here.’

‘Uh, sure...got clothes? I jumped in here nude…’ Zeke replied.

“Does he need clothes or something?” Ben asked, not knowing what stomach Zeke was in and thinking he might have either lost his clothes or something else.

“Yeah, he jumped in naked after his parents showed up.”

“Oh, I hope everything went well.” Ben said while snapping his fingers, creating some clothes fit for Zeke. “Tell him I’ve got his clothes…” Ben also brought out a towel. “And a towel to dry him off…”

‘Ben got you some clothes and a towel for the oils.’ Eclipsa informed.

‘Great, send them down or something then get me out.’ Zeke replied. Eclipsa took the clothes and swallowed them down to Zeke, having Ben hold the towel ready.

“Alright...this is gonna be a bit new.” Ben muttered.

Zeke managed to get dressed within the alien confines of Eclipsa’s healing stomach, saying goodby to the healing Spoiled before getting pulled out, drying off. Ben didn’t realize the clothes he crafted, giving Zeke a black and light blue version of his own cloak, only with one area to show of a single pair of breasts rather than eight. “Well… is this gonna be a get up or?” Zeke asked.

“I guess since they were made with you in mind, they can morph to your tastes.” Eclipsa guessed. “Anyways my Good Bad boy, wanna go on a date with our fluffy puppy?”

“Sure. So long as there’s you~” Zeke said, giving Eclipsa a quick peck on her lower lip.

“Glad you two are happy.” Ben said, honestly happy for the two but hoping not to feel like the third wheel here when he wanted to help make this work.

“Don’t worry Ben, This date isn't about Zeke and I, this date is about us and you. I want our union to work… and although right now I do not love you as much as I love Zeke, I hope to someday soon love you both equally.” Eclipsa smiled, slithering over and wrapping around the wolf.

“Keeping that in mind, allow me to make the first move Eclipsa, formerly Marcy, made on me when we went on our first date.” Zeke said rapidly standing next to the Dire wolf, and wrapped an arm around their lower waist, resting their palm on Ben’s hip. “Shall we?” Zeke asked, motioning their arm out.

“Um…” Ben wasn’t fully sure what was going on. “Normally I’m the one that does the forward things…” He said, not sure what Eclipsa...or Marcy did their first date.

“Heh, relax, they were just extremely flirty… very flirty. Besides, you’re a sexy shemale now, embrace the female side a bit more.”

“‘I’m supposed to be the man, I’m supposed to be the one doing all the nice things for you two.” Ben said. “You know, making you two happy, safe...and so much more.” He said, the two seeing what Ben truly thought ‘being the man’ meant to him. “Now sure I’m also a woman but still…”

“Ben, love, you can still be that, but being ‘The Man’ doesn’t mean we can’t treat you and make you feel special as well.” Eclipsa said softly as they started for the park.

“I know I know.” Ben said while following along.

“Tell you what, how about for this whole day, try to accept both, be the male you want to be that treats your love's right, but also try and be the Ben we want to also make feel special.”

“I’m not that special, it’s you two that’s special.” Ben said with a little blush.

“To Quote Jenny, ‘Bitch shut up and let me love you.’” Zeke said, giving Ben a surprise kiss, the Dire wolf’s face turning full red with blush.

“And to Quote me, ‘We are all special, Normal is boring, and you sure as hell ain't boring.’” She said before giving Ben’s ass a light slap with her tail.

Ben yipped at the slap and pouted at Eclipsa. “The heck?” He grumbled, Eclipsa knowing now how soft and big it was. “But...fine, I’ll try.”

The trio made it to the park, setting up next to a small artificial river made for aesthetics. “Now then, what’s to snack on?” Zeke asked.

“Don't know, I just scanned all our code and tried to plan out a proper brunch for all of us mixed with stuff we all like.” Eclipsa said with a shrug. “And Ben, before you ask, I learned by being insane.”

“I haven’t learned a thing about Code.” Zeke stated.

“Its hard if you don't get the power force fed into you.” Eclipsa says, setting up the blanket and starting to unpack the basket of holding, bringing out a few meats she doesnt recognize but Ben does, some chocolates and Paopu fruit, and Mushroom pizza.

“Oh you two will love this meat.” Ben said happily. “These meats are from the Dire Wolf home world, you would not believe how good it is.”

“What’s it called… and why is it blue?” Zeke asked, looking the kabab of blue meat over.

“Smells gooood~” Eclipsa says, she having some predator instinct much like Ben.

“Eating it raw was already delicious, cooked meat is even better.” Ben said happily as he grabbed a kebab as well and eating the meat happily.

Eclipsa puts one aside for her to try while cutting up the Paopu for the three to share. “Well, I certainly can't wait to share this with you two.”

“Oh...Heh, I forgot this was a thing. It’s funny, with how you and I kept returning to one another, it’s like we had shared one prior somehow on earth huh?” Zeke said, taking his piece and looking it over.

“Should I?” Ben asked, trying to stay positive but being a natural pessimist wasn’t helping him.

“Please Ben, for me?” Eclipsa asked, holding her piece as well while looking at Ben.

Ben smiled gently. “Alright.” He said while gently taking the piece of Paopu Fruit.

“On three.” Zeke said, the three of them holding the fruit to their mouths. “One...Two...Three.” They each took a bite.

At that moment it felt like not only did Zeke and Eclipsa know even MORE about one another, but also Ben, and he felt like he knew more about them… he felt attached to them, and they to Ben.

“Who knew this was magic…” Ben said honestly. “But...the fruit is nice.”

“Glad I beat my addiction to it… it was, and still is a part of my pregnancy cravings…. But I kinda went overboard with it… I’m glad I was able to share it with you all instead of having it outright.” Eclipsa said

“I have to admit, I always wondered how these tasted.” Zeke said, finishing their piece. “So, Ben, you find out you can use our abilities and weapons too?” Zeke asked, summoning Lunatic.

“I have a feeling I’m the one that started this chain of events.” Ben said honestly. “Summoned X, who panicked, summoned Guardian which was cool, I also practically Classed up a Samurai Nobody into a Shogun with Grey.” Ben explained. “Oh and Nobodies can use Keyblades now, I tested it and they can wield Keyblades fine somehow.”

“Oh you just used the booster power of gray huh? Did you tap into what I call the ocean?” Eclipsa asked.

“Wonder how we can better combo this all? There has to be combinations we can make here…” Zeke thought aloud.

“That will be fun trying out.” Eclipsa smiled.

“You have no idea what sort of shenanigans will be brought here.” ben said honestly.

“Fun fact,” Zeke said. “This morning thanks to Eclipsa taking full advantage of all my fetishes, we’re both knocked up now. My morning vomit is literally liquid darkness, and light. The darkness became a shadow Heartless the kids killed and the Light became a Starlight Keyblade.”

“Well then…” Ben blinked. “That’s...a thing…” Ben said, feeling a bit more like a third wheel now even after eating the fruit given what was just said. “But good for you two, I’m sure you had fun.”

“Ben...Why don’t you tell me some about yourself. I find it cheeky that I only know alot about you through 4th wall breaking and… well… if we are going to connect, I want to know you for you.” Eclipsa said, resting her head on the wolf’s lap.

“What do you want to know about me?” Ben asked, the den mothers thighs behind big and soft enough to be pillows in their own right. “Cause there’s a lot I could say about myself...doubt some would be positive but still.”

“Hmm… How about something we can all relate too. What was your Mark of Mastery exam like?” Zeke asked.

“I fought Rejection, my dark half, but then when I finally stopped rejecting things...Joy came back.” Ben said. “Bastard had a cheeky ability of ‘rejecting’ damage back at me before I realised the gimmick.”

“Heh. Pretty litteral. I first fought my own brother… then had to leave a perfect illusion of my dream life, then… I forget the last thing, but there was also another part in a Memory Skyscraper place… who did I fight there?”

“I don't know… But I had two marks of mastery. My first one had me kill myself. The other had me answering questions KH one style before I had to learn… well, that's a lesson I’m taking to my grave.” Eclipsa said, taking a sip of a smoothie before nuzzling Ben.

“Hmm… Okay, next question. Who was your first wife, or girlfriend Ben?”

“That would be Luna and Twilight, given the two were dating at the time they wanted me to join in.” Ben said. “Yours?”

“It was a group thing. Most of the mane six, Rune, Hearts Care, and Celestia and Luna. It was mostly for killing that Bara jack ass’s Nobody.”

“Luna. I dived into her heart to free her from Nightmare Moon, and we hit it off from there.” Eclipsa said, happily cuddling the wolfy. “Soft~”

“My fur is a lot softer.” Ben said honestly. “But also my thighs could crush watermelons I mean seriously…” Ben muttered, looking at his thighs again and thinking they were pretty big.

“Well, I think they’re beautiful, just like the rest of you.” Eclipsa says, kissing Ben’s cheek.

“Thank you.” Ben smiled gently. “Alright so...what was the first world you went to?” He asked. “Cause the first world I went to was Radiant Garden, before Terranort turned a bunch of people into Nobodies.”

“If I remember correctly… I think it was either Olympus Coliseum, or Twilight Town?” Zeke pondered, seeing Ben’s arm and seeing how soft the fur was, rested their head on Ben’s lap as well. “If your this soft, mind if I collect the shedding? This would make an amazing blanket or pillow.”

“Jeez, I know it’s soft but it can’t be that soft.” Ben chuckled a little.

“Wonder how you feel without these clothes covering~”

“I know I'm wanting to learn, but Zeke, let's wait till after the date, then we will make it so he can't walk~” Eclipsa giggled before sighing in content. “I love you two.”

“Um...just a quickie thing...I was told that if I get pregnant I’ll...get bigger.” Ben brought up nervously, not sure what they’ll think about that.

“Bigger how?” Zeke asked.

“I wasn’t explained most of it but...yes.” Ben said, not fully knowing what would happen to be honest.

“Yes! I'm not the only one who will grow till the day they die! Woo!” Eclipsa shot up, cheering before sighing and laying back down, her fluffy mate just too comfortable.

“So… I'm gonna stay the small one here?” Zeke asked.

“You could always will yourself to grow, like you willed me to grow a dick bigger than yours.” Eclipsa shrugged.

“... I still don't remember doing that… apparently when I'm fucked vaginally I get… a bit wild.” Zeke said, shifting a bit to get comfortable.

“Wild how?” Ben asked, given he has over two thousand wives he wasn’t sure what ‘wild’ meant anymore.

“I can explain this one.” Eclipsa said before making a projection of her POV from last night. “Don't worry,only we can see it.” She said, summoning popcorn.

“Oh?” Ben raised an eyebrow...before seeing a lot of it. “Christ…”

“Yikes… surprised I didn't hurt you Eclipsa.” Zeke said.

“Are you kidding? That was awesome!” Eclipsa said blissfully. “Besides, that? Nothing compared to being broken down and regenerated over and over again on a molecular level… becoming a god sucks, just fyi.”

“Yes, yes it does.” Ben said honestly. “Hurts like a bitch to be honest...but this is gonna be a long night if it goes that way.”

“Oh like you will complain wolfy.” Eclipsa giggled. “From what your wives have said, you are a total sexaholic.”

“I blame me talking in my sleep…” Ben grumbled. “Seriously, lot’s of things I didn’t want them to know…” Ben sighed out. “But I try not to be a total sexaholic…”

“Just as long as it's not Rune's level…” Zeke sighed, looking up at the clouds. “Do you two ever wonder what life would have been like have we never met one another?”

“Boring probably. I would have gone through the stuff in the show, just basically being a co-hero for thing that changed.” Eclipsa shrugged.

“I would have still been King of Nothingness so mine might have still been interesting.” Ben said. “Albeit I probably would have done more world hoping to be perfectly honest.”

“How about we do that?” Zeke asked. “I've done a bit but not too much. Let's make a list of words we knew from earth, and travel to them.”

“It will never end at that point.” Ben brought up. “Like...good lord there’s a lot of Worlds just from me alone.”

“I haven't visited that much really. I mean, besides all forms of Equestria, the first world I ever visited was Traverse Town, then hell, a few other worlds I never got the name of, and destiny islands.” Eclipsa listed off

“I only went to Nowhere which is destroyed...I went to Yggdrasil, a place from an Anime called ‘Overlord’...which is also destroyed...I went to Destiny Island, StoryShift Undertale if my research is correct, Radiant Garden...Hawaii from Lilo and Stitch actually…” Ben thought if there was any other worlds he went to. “Still feels like I barely went to other worlds to be honest.” Ben brought up. “So...what worlds do you two even want to go to? There’s a lot of places.”

“Soul Eater, Olympus Colosseum, Traverse Town, Twilight Town, Destiny Islands and… Spirited Away, as well as Fallout at one point.” Zeke recalled.

“Wow, considering all we've done, we really haven't traveled at all huh?” Eclipsa commented

“Yeah pretty much.” Ben shrugged. “Maybe it was either because I’m too busy or I have a new fear of getting more wives from other worlds.”

“Well we never really had a moments peace. Between bad guys, conflicts, etc, we just never had the free time. I guess.” Zeke sighed.

“Even though there were plenty of moments we weren’t doing anything...at least, for me I had plenty of time to do things.” Ben said honestly.

“Well, I think I know what our next date is.” Eclipsa smiled. “Road trip anyone?”

“Road trip.” Ben nodded with a smile.

“Not sure road trip is the proper word, but eh, sounds fun.” Zeke added.

“Great! I'll start making the plans tomorrow.” Eclipsa beamed happily.

“So how long are you gonna be here til your castle needs ya Ben?”

“No idea. I can just have the hundreds of clones solve my problems back there while I spend time with you two.” Ben brought up.

“If that's the case why not just have your clones do the hard work and you stay here, relaxing and family stuff? I know I don't miss all the paperwork from Daybreak.”

“Besides, in about oh… five more lines we are gonna end up in the bedroom anyways and I'm sorry but you will not be able to work today… Trust me as a three time girl, guy, and now herm, you will be in Bliss and sore tomorrow morning.” Eclipsa informed. 5….

“Your confidant.” Zeke said. 4….

“And here I was hoping for maybe a little more time actually talking and getting to know each other.” Ben said honestly. 3...

“To be fair, how long did any of us last against our wives before screwing? I managed to avoid sex till marriage but there was groping. A lot of groping.” 2….

“Oh and Zeke, it's a good thing you go crazy in sex because of what is about to start.” Eclipsa commented. 1…

“Well...can’t wait.” Ben said, getting a bit nervous about the lack of ‘practice’ with the female bits. 0.

“ Don't worry love, after all, heat teaches you everything~” Eclipsa said, her voice smooth and slurry, as she starts to pant with lust, her body giving of the tale tell smell of heat. Many other females around started producing similar smells as Eclipsa started to kiss Ben passionately.

Ben was shocked at Eclipsa being in heat and the sudden kiss, but just shrugged it off and kissed back just as passionately.

Eclipsa let her hands make slow trails over Ben's body, tiny caresses, little things that drive more pleasure while her tail gently starts to rub Zeke, not wanting to leave them out.

The wolf did the same, trailing his hands down Eclipsa’s body wanting to get familiar with his new wife.

Placing up a quick illusion to hide them all. Zeke then went up next to Ben and Eclipsa, the Second pair of hands feeling their body made Ben shutter with in unfamiliar, but not unwanted pleasure. Zeke began to embrace Ben, giving them a light hickey on the neck.

“Curse you heat…” Ben muttered, taking off his cloak cause this is where it was going. “This is going to be wonderful…” Ben muttered while moving a hand over and groping Zeke’s ass.

Panting. Zeke began helping the wolf and the Naga undress. Both Eclipsa and Zeke nearly got pushed over as Ben's true assets popped out of their enchanted coverings. “Woah…” Zeke gasped, taking a pair and squeezing them. “Your boob jobs must be amazing~”

“Yes...I have eight tits...and their all big…” Ben blushed brightly, given that he was trying his best not to be affected by the heat but milk was coming out of the den mothers breasts at this point. “Like...pretty big...and I can just...lactate healing milk cause why not.”

“Oh I likey~” Eclipsa purred before latching onto a teat, one of her hands trailing down before grazing the wolf's cunny.

Ben shuddered at the touch, the wolf’s cock at full mast at this point. “I’m...trying not to make this heat worse for myself…” The poor den mother said nervously.

Eclipsa broke off before giving Ben a sympathetic look. “If you don't want to do this we won't.”

“I didn’t say that...I was just warned that...first heat would be a problem.” Ben said sheepishly. “I want to share this special moment with you two...if you’ll have me.” The wolf said while putting a gentle paw on Eclipsa’s cheek.

“Nothing more special that your first time with real sex in that form.” Zeke said, cuddling the dire wolf. “Just as long as you are enjoying it.”

”Thank you.” Ben said with a warm smile. “Now...how do we start here?” He asked, never having done things as a futa before.

“Well, first, let’s get you used to your new parts~” Eclipsa says before slipping a single digit into the already drenched pussy.

Ben yipped at the sudden intrusion. “C-careful...I haven’t...done anything with that yet…” Ben blushed as red as can be, the wolfs nethers clamping down on the lone digit. “Like...even when me and Twilight were testing toy’s...didn’t touch that yet…”

“Which is why I won't do more than a finger until we loosen you up.” Eclipsa said, caringly, if lustfully.

“Also...just a little warning…” Ben said. “If I uh…’let go’ so to speak...two things might happen...I might become a raging sex machine because of the heat and…” Ben looked away in embarrassment. “I might…produce too much…” He said, Eclipsa and Zeke seeing a cute wolf acting like it’s his first time again.

“Oh this will be fun… no no Lance no-”

The trio finally gave into exhaustion after the intense love making. Both Zeke and Ben gave into their perverse sexual nature. To which Eclipsa enjoyed whole heartedly. Ben was now changed, a Den Mother Direwolf. Now they stood easy sixteen feet tall, and everything else about them matched their new size. Eclipsa and Zeke could SIT on Ben's top breasts, and use them like beds.

As the three embraced each other in afterglow, they noticed the sun gently setting.

“Two things...A, should we try to uh...fix the ground?” Ben brough up, given that the ground around them had noticeable cracks. “And two...really? Only half a day?” The wolf panted gently.

“Eclipsa.” Zeke sighed from their resting spot atop Ben's top left boob. “Thanks for that rubber spell… made everything so much… Fuller…”

“Welcome, just don’t have Twilight ask me about it… wouldn't be able to tell her how…” Said the naga, her tail wrapped around her lovers and gently massaging them.

“Well...glad you two had fun with this.” Ben said with a little smile. “But...sorry if I was a bit...rough.” The wolf said nervously.

“I feel much better because of Eclipsa's spell so no worries.” Zeke said. “So glad I put up that illusion spell to hide us.”

“But I’m a bit concerned people noticed the possible earthquakes because of it.” Ben brought up nervously.

“Meh, fuck them. We had fun, we enjoyed ourselves, and no children saw. I call it a win… also, do know you can will your body to change Ben, but this is how you will always go back to.” Eclipsa informed the now giant wolf.

“I know I have my anthro form and my feral form.” Ben said to Eclipsa. “But...just glad you two had fun.”

“You kidding? I've had lots of sex, but not only was this the best sex I've ever had… it also felt the most special with the two of you.” Eclipsa says with a blush, embarrassed to admit that.

“All the sex I have...it’s always special for me.” Ben said. “Even after so many times...it’s a special bonding moment...it’s important for people who love each other.”

“Given that how much are we gonna screw?” Zeke asked.

“Still… I can confidently say that I not only stole Your Virginity… but that I officially love you.” Eclipsa smiled.

“Heh, that face you made when I got you in your ass was priceless Ben.” Zeke chuckled, starting to clean off before dressing. “We should get going, I imagine the kids and family are wondering where we are.”

“I’m surprised you two were enjoying my size.” Ben brought up. “And yeah we probably should...but should we go world hopping after we get cleaned up and see our family?”

“Sure! Maybe some new worlds formed during the merge, after all my realm was mostly empty, just filled to the brim with energy, almost like a grey version of the Final World.”

“The what?” Zeke asked.

“Sounds like it’s...basically the after life?” Ben asked curiously. “I know it’s in KH3, which I thankfully have and have been playing, but I didn’t get that far.”

“That is it, we are having you lot play it after our world hopping.” Eclipsa deadpanned.

“Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.” Zeke interrupted. “You mean to tell you two have Kingdom Hearts FUCKING 3, and didn't bother even telling me?!”

“You are literally Kingdom Hearts, plus we thought you already had it.” Ben said sheepishly.

“Even the foretellers should have it by now.” Eclipsa shrugged.

“Well I’m sorry my parents aren’t reality breaking super beings who can get me things that didn't come out yet back on earth…” Zeke pouted.

“Hey, at least you'll be able to play it soon love.” Eclipsa smiled, snapping and being rid of most of the stains before getting dressed herself.

“I didn’t get my copy from Cript.” Ben said while cleaning his cloak. “Don’t remember where I got it honestly, but it wasn’t from him.”

“Then who did it come from?” Zeke asked, fixing up the cloak a bit before they were finally dressed.

“I mean...Jenny probably would know.” Ben shrugged while finishing cleaning up his cloak and putting it on.

“Oh yeah… I haven’t seen that little dork in… christ forever…” Zeke remembered. “How is she by the way? Last time I saw her she was on TV, parashoot jumping out of… Well, what and why isn’t important there…”

“She is doing splendid.” Ben said. “My little trouble maker, who has...currently knocked up Sweetie Belle...Joy cause he decided to be both genders cause apparently herms is a new trend here.” Ben shrugged.

“Ha! Oh that is so her… Wait, she’s eleven how and why?!”

“Time flows differently before now Zeke. A hour here was a day there.” Eclipsa informed him.

“Given that… I can’t math that… christ at least with all our realms fused time is stable and the same for us all now… Oh, and Eclipsa, mind if I remake that list?”

“Which one? I have many.” Eclipsa says cripticly

“I remember in the other two timelines We made a list of normal things for us to do that I never got to do because of my family and life there. We never got to do any of it because Either family showed up and… then Nexus the other time…”

“I don't see why not … but only if we include Ben into them.” Eclipsa said with a smile.

“I’d love to join...also Jenny’s like nineteen now.” Ben brought up. “Along with Joy and his own harem.”

“Sure...and Nineteen? Christ I owe her so many birthday gifts…” Zeke sighed. “And as per usual I’m broke too.”

“Not any more~ I may or may not be loaded, and Ben is a literal king, I’m sure you inherited a metric fuck ton of money.”

“No.” Zeke said plainly. “My whole life my money came from others, including my loved ones, for one reason or another. Majority of which I actually gave to charities, most of it came from drugs, slavery, gun sales, etc… Number one on my list was have a real job, remember Eclipsa? I’d like to earn my money for once.”

“I’m pretty sure Jenny would just be happy if you spent some time with her.” Ben said.

“I know my cousin… she’d be happier with a Rare pokemon card…” Zeke laughed.

“Well, you already have a job as a teaching assistant. We just need to work out pay with cheer and you'll be fine.” Eclipsa smiled.

“Cool… How much does that pay anyway? Is it a daily or hourly thing? I never quite understood how Equestria deals payments for Employees.”

“Don’t know.” Ben shrugged. “But I can help increase the pay by giving funds to help the school if you want.”

“Sure, seems fine to me. Zeke?”

“Feels like cheating…” Zeke said.

“Well… how about something else. You already got a job… so why don't we prank off Jenny, and reward her with, I don't know… a rare Pokemon card that I found on a post apocalyptic world?”

“Which?”

“Basically Left for Dead.” Eclipsa told them.

“Sounds simple enough.” Ben said honestly. “Hope Jenny will find this enjoyable.”

“So long as it’s a rare trading card of any kind, she will… actually… Hey, do either of you know how to get back to our old earth? I remember I found Ben there when I finally got out of Boletaria. I wanna see if something is still there.”

“Well, let's try it.” Eclipsa said opening a…. DT something. It seemed like a mix of all the powers each had. “Forgot my doors change with my powers….”

“Just a quick warning...Old Earth is a baren hellscape filled with immortal undead.” Ben said. “I know this full well since I went back to Earth...good thing I know Necromancy spells and Divine spells.”

“Dark Souls much?” Eclipsa said, slithering on through.

“Oh yeah.” Ben said while going through as well. “It’s pretty bad...like really bad.”

“Suits us perfectly.” Zeke said, being the first of the trio to enter. They were in a barren ruins of some large place, concrete and metal were all the decorated and landmarked the dust covered area. “Oh yeah, this is my family’s hell/heaven…”

“Wonder what monsters will be here…” Ben wondered curiously. “Undead normally roam at night, so we better be quick.”

“RIght then… So where are we? Because we need to be in Death Valley California to see if it’s still there.”

“No idea.” Ben said honestly. “I haven’t even been anywhere near this far east.”

The trio managed to figure out they were in California, by looking over just a bit of the ruins. They were in Disneyland. A sense of sadness and irony hit them as they quickly left on Keyblade glider to the location Zeke remembered, finding a hidden, and well fortified abandoned missile silo. “This place was abandoned after the Cold War.” Zeke said, managing to get the facilities batteries working to give some light. “Family has been using it as a storehouse for generations. Jenny likely kept her stuff in the lower floors. This place was starting to get pretty packed.”

The lower floors looked far better off than the upper ones, and once finding a door with Jenny’s name on it, they gathered the boxes of her personal belongings, some toys, games, at least two thousand different kinds of trading cards. As they were grabbing the last of it all, Eclipsa saw one door with Zeke’s name on it. “Hey Zeke, you stored stuff here too?”

“Yeah. Mostly old computers and a few collectibles I picked up.” Zeke replied.

“I’m shocked they lasted this long.” Ben brought up. “It’s been literal millions of years with nuclear war, divine judgement, and a lot of other things.” He said.

“These old silos are five feet thick with lead and steel walls, add on top of the natural rock and dirt outside. Plus the family added in a vacuum system to pressurise this place once the doors are closed. There’s stuff here from when they first took it over.” Zeke said, opening their rooms door. Inside was much less than Jenny’s. Laptops, some manga books and a small wooden sword lay scattered about. “Hey, I remember this.” Zeke said, picking up the wood sword, it’s age still showed despite the preservation of the building. Zeke held it carefully. “I made this after I played Kingdom Hearts one. I wanted a replica of Sora and Riku’s wooden swords.” They remembered with a smile.

“Well that’s nice.” Ben said, not wanting to call Zeke a nerd given he would have loved to do something like that when he was a kid but couldn’t.

“I'm happy you can find things from your past you still are attached to Zeke.” Eclipsa said, giving Zeke a loving hug.

“Heh. Me too.” Zeke replied. Taking what they were after the trio made it back to Equestria, where Zeke and Ben placed the items of Jenny's into a spare room. “Alright. Now just to call Jenny.”

“Hey Jenny, I found your Secret Stash.” Ben called out, knowing full well that statement would make her rush here as soon as possible either to tell him ‘what do you think’, ‘I didn’t do anything’ or ‘I was looking for this forever’.

“The foot stuff is all Joy's!” Jenny yelped appearing in a flash between the trio.

Zeke was jaw dropped. The little goofball cousin he remembered really was all grown up now.

“Merry Birthmas.” Ben said while motioning to Zeke and all of Jenny’s shit. “And really? Didn’t think you were into feet.”

Blushing, the young dire wolf saw Zeke, at first not recognizing them with the gender swap, but a look at their eyes made hers widen. “Zeke… holy shit you did go full herm.”

“Hehe… eh, well what can I say…” Zeke said, suddenly hugged by Jenny. Zeke hugged back tightly. “My God you got tall.”

“And fluffy.” Jenny chuckled. They broke the hug and Zeke helped Jenny look through all her cards. They ranged from sports to trading and collectors cards. “I haven't seen these in years. Each pack I stole whenever mom and dad took me on our 'shopping’ sprees.” Jenny chuckled.

“So, how do you like your gifts?” Ben asked gently, enjoying seeing her look through old things. “Whoa wait, is that a Alpha Black Lotus?” Ben asked in surprise, seeing one of the old cards

“Yup!” Jenny declared proudly. “Stole that from a collector up in Philadelphia. Nice guy.”

“Not fully surprised you stole the thing.” Ben said. “Things expensive as fuck, twenty seven thousand normally.”

“That was when you all left earth. I checked recently with the assistant and this card is now worth fifty thousand rem.”

“Rem?” Zeke asked.

“Basically Reality’s Currency. Can be used as a substitute for all other known currency wherever you are.” Ben explained simply.

“Wow… sounds like Cryptocurrency on steroids.” Zeke replied.

“You'll get used to it.” Eclipsa said.

“It will only get worse from here on out.” Ben said honestly. “And I haven’t even brought up all the shit you can buy just from the Assistant’s market place alone.”

Catching Zeke’s interest, Zeke looked over the devices on both Eclipsa’s and Ben’s arms. Impressed and completely shocked by everything the small device was capable of. “Shit… You can even buy houses here and they just...appear?” Zeke asked.

“Yeah pretty much.” Ben said honestly. “Most expensive thing is, if memory serves, a Nuclear Handgun.” Ben said honestly. “Called The Mouse.”

“I am not gonna ask…” Zeke sighed.

Jenny left some hours later, and the trio spent time around the home, mainly watching Tv and talking.

“So, what shows do you two like?” Ben asked simply, given they were watching tv at the moment he might as well bring it up.

“I’m Weeb trash mostly, but there are a few shows I like here and there, a few reality competition shows, that kind of stuff.” Eclipsa said.

“Aren’t we all weeb trash at this point?” Ben asked. “But I am also Weeb trash, so let’s talk anime.”

“Right then, what Type? Horror, fantasy, harem. what?”

“Can’t stand horror.” Ben said. “Even though I literally saved the Horror Admin from a Delete…” He grumbled. “But just to name like three off the top of my head...adventure, harem...and Isekai cause there are some really good ones.” Ben said honestly. “Also since...well we’re basically Isekai protagonists.”

“I didn't watch much anime… mostly just cartoons.” Zeke admitted. “Either cartoons or video games.”

“Well, which cartoons?” The naga asked.

“Cause there are dozens, which 2000’s or 90’s cartoons did you watch?” Ben asked.

“Let’s see… Dexter's lab, Fosters home for imaginary friends, Ben 10, and American Dragon Jake Long. Those were always at the top of my list watch lists when they were on.”

“Those were good ones.” Eclipsa nodded sagely

“Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, Swat Kats...jeez there’s a lot I can name.” Ben said honestly.

“I’m not even gonna begin to list mine… with three lives I’ve had quite a list built up.” Eclipsa chuckled.

“True.” Ben said honestly. “There must have been quite a bit of difference between those times and now.”

“This show is weird.” Zeke said, the show displaying was a large guy hacking away demons. “Most of it is him screaming then swinging his sword around.”

“Besides, demons are much, much more grotesk then that… sept’ for succubus. They are hot, but Incubus….” Eclipsa shuddered.

“Okay so what is this? A documentary on Barbarians or something?” Ben asked. “Or is this some show about Doom Guy’s ancestor?”

“Let's see…” Zeke said, clicking info on the control. “Berzerk? Never heard of it.”

“Wait…. Fuck I wasn’t paying attention, this is Bezerk? As is, Guts, the basicly medieval doomguy?!” Eclipsa said, sitting up.

“Huh. This show doesn't do him justice. Looks a lot taller in person.”

“Oh wait, I remember this.” Ben said. “Yeah it’s the one where the main character was literally born from his long dead mothers hanging corpse, and then it only get’s worse as he grows up.”

“And the only love of his life was raped to the point of her mind breaking in front of him by what was his best friend turned demon lord.” Eclipsa said.

“And that was during the entire group of mercenaries lead by said new demon lord was being slaughtered and devoured by demons, as well as having him lose an eye and having to cut his own arm off.”

“And that was only part one.”

“Yeah… I know… he’s one of my Twenty…” Zeke said. Both Eclipsa and Ben looking at Zeke with wide eyes.

“I’m sorry but we didn’t know.” Ben said nervously. “I am so sorry…” He said quickly.

Eclipsa just went silent. “You know…. I never knew why I liked the show considering that it reminded me too much of what happened to my own mother…. But, yea… sorry…” She said before reaching to the remote.

“Don’t apologize to me. Apologize to him. Give me a sec.” Zeke was covered in darkness, form morphing to a taller, more built body, finally as the darkness vanished, Gutz appeared, opening his eyes and looking around.

“Small house.” He said.

“Uh...sorry…” Ben said sheepishly.

“Don’t worry about it. I already killed Griffith before this happened to me, so the past is past. I was just clearing out the remaining demons before this happened. Have to admit, that Nobody of Zeke’s can fight. Might have been evil, but I can respect someone with proper sword skills.”

“So…” Eclipsa began. “What do you want to do now that everything you strived for is completed?” Eclipsa asked the man who could probably tear her in half before he became a part of kingdom hearts.

“Honestly I’m content with never even appearing here again. I’ve fought so much, killed many, too many. I’m done fighting for as long as I can help it. Mostly when inside Skala I’m watching over the children awaiting rebirth.”

“Then… how about instead of being a fighter…. You become a Guardian?” Eclipsa offered. “Zeke, and in turn the rest of us, are going to eventually find a way for the rest of you to be free once more if you desire. Maybe you can try to protect and build instead of actively looking for a fight.”

“As nice as a thought as it it, it’s just that. A thought. When our hearts all reunited, becoming Kingdom hearts again, truly, we lost that as our hearts. We’re more like Split personalities now. Maybe we’ll fade, maybe not. But to free us… I don’t think I’d care either way.”

The naga sighed before smiling and cuddling up to Ben. “I hope you find something to care about… because not having anything it….. Well, lets just say I know that feeling, and I would rather die than to have it again.”

Ben cuddled up to Eclipsa happily as well. “You have all the time in the world, and all the power honestly...so you can do whatever you want now that you have a chance to be happy.”

“Happiness comes from the company of others. I may be part of twenty people, but I still feel loneliness. I am now, what I have always been. A weapon. Never expected that to become so literal. As I said, I’m content with being alone, avoiding conflict for as long as I can, and remembering the better memories in my life.” Gutz said with a smile. “Now that I really am alone, lacking purpose… I’ve never felt more at peace.”

“Being a peace and being happy are not the same… but I’ve learned to not force these issues.” Eclipsa said before gently resting a hand on his shoulder. “Just...Sigh…. Keep an open mind alright? Maybe its the mother in me, maybe it’s the fact that I feel a sense of kinship with you, but I just want you, and everyone to be able to be truly happy.”

“That is a noble and honorable ideal… but in my life, I’ve learned such ideals, are ment for children, and children only.”

Gutz was covered in darkness, shifting back into Zeke. “What I miss? I literally have no idea what the others do when out, or what they do when I’m out.” Zeke asked.

“Gutz just said he’d rather be alone, completely missing that he can literally do anything...like say bring the woman he loves back to life or back to sanity or whatever and be happy with her without any threats ruining it.” Ben brought up. “Cause you know, being a literal God is so nifty when you take the time to think about all the crap you can do.”

“He told me she died?” Zeke said. “Haven’t seen her in here.” Zeke said, placing a hand over their heart. “So...either she was already reborn, or her heart...didn’t make it here…”

“Admin.” Ben brought up. “We’re all admins correct? We can just literally figure out her condition right?” Ben asked, still not knowing much about what Admins can do.

“And you can do that when and who taught you?”

“Lord and a guy named Player both explained to me that, when your an Admin you can do basically anything without any repercussions.” Ben said honestly.

“Even so, what would that do to Gutz? I’d imagine seeing a dead loved one isn’t exactly good for a Psyche like his.”

“I’m just bringing it up.” Ben said honestly. “Get some closure out of it, even if she’s not fully there for him...I suppose just them having a little time to talk would help more than just him wanting to sit in a corner after everything and wish to fade away.”

“Guys, Loves, calm down. Ben, I don't think abusing our power like that is good. It makes us no better than the ones you and I killed to get our power, but on the same hand Zeke, I wish there was something we could do to help him.” Eclipsa said, playing the midigator.

“I know people like Gutz guys… trust me… they don’t want closure, they want to forget.” Zeke sighed.

“And for someone like me I didn’t get a fucking choice.” Ben said bluntly. “Sure I haven’t had even a billionth of a hard time like Gutz, but I wanted to forget, but getting closure helps a lot more than throwing a pity party...several of my wives have told me that repeatedly.” Ben said, most of his life having been wanting to forget but having closure forced on him anyways.

“If Gutz decides to change his mind, then that’s fine, for now, let’s not press on his issue. Moving to another topic… how did you two get those?” Zeke asked, pointing at their Assistants.

“Oh, given to us when we joined Cript’s family. All of my kids have one, they just usually have them in their hidden state… I can order one for you if you want.” Eclipsa offered.

“It helps a lot.” Ben said honestly. “Full of damn near everything you need.”

“Sure, I mean...can you? These things look...expensive.” Zeke questioned.

“I’m pretty sure we can buy one.” Ben said while checking his assistant to see if it was true or not. Ben searched… surprised as the Assistant was not in the market app. Everything under the word Assistant was displayed BUT the device. “Huh...that’s interesting.”

“What?” Zeke asked, moving over to Ben.

“Apparently you can’t just buy the thing.” Ben said honestly. “Now while that’s fine enough, there isn’t even any mention to the thing here which is kinda weird.”

“Maybe it's something like an ID card?” Zeke offered.

“Maybe…” Ben muttered, trying to at least find anything about the piece of tech on his arm and wondering how to even get one if your not apart of Cript’s family.

After some searching Ben found something.

Under Unity Law KXZ8, anyone wishing to obtain an Assistant must do so through legal channels at any authorized Freak Inc. government office. Those found with tampered or hacked Assistants will be federally prosecuted and fined up to 8.7 Million Rem and sentenced to a minimum 30 years jail time.

“Okay...so that does and doesn’t explain somethings.” Ben frowned. “This better not cause problems…”

“It basically says to get one we have to go to these official buildings right?” Zeke questioned aloud. “Where is one?”

“No idea…” Ben said while checking to see where one of these official buildings were. A short search later one was located on… Twilight Town? Ben's Twilight Town to be exact. “That’s a little strange. My realms Twilight Town has one of the buildings…”

“That is pretty weird.”

“Well...I suppose that means we’re going to Twilight Town then, and then we’re going somewhere to train our new powers cause I want to know what we can do.” Ben said honestly.

“Same.” Zeke said.

“Woo! Admin Trinity let's go!” Eclipsa said, her mood swings starting to appear as she grabs the two with her tail before opening a DTE (Door to Everything) and jumping in.

“Excited aren’t we?” Ben chuckled.

“Are you kidding? Of course I'm excited! I mean, besides the three trips and the cutie mark crusaders, how many people even qualify to use the Trinity?” The Naga said quickly, practically a buzzing ball of energy.

“I have no idea to be perfectly honest.” Ben said honestly.

After arriving in Twilight Town the trio noticed it was… different. Electronic billboards and neon signs lit up the normally shady areas. People of all races, human and alien, walked the streets, street performers displayed their craft for passer bys. Shops were busy and bustling, and flying vehicles flew across the sky. Wait. What?

“How in the ever loving…” Zeke asked.

“No clue...I’m confused.” Ben frowned, not expecting all this to happen. “Seriously, how the hell did this all suddenly happen?”

“Maybe we should ask someone.” Zeke spoke aloud. They then tapped on a passer bys arm. “Excuse me, but how did Twilight Town get like this?”

“Like this? Oh you must be new. About a month back a company came in and started investing in every shop in town. Then they set up these fancy teleportation gates all over and the economy just skyrocketed. People from other worlds moved in and pass through all the time, with all the business, everyone could afford to upgrade advertisement and the town itself.” The pedestrian explained.

“Good to know.” Ben said honestly. “Jeez...how a humble town turned into this over a month is still surprising.”

“A good economy can do that.” Eclipsa said. “That's progress.”

“And where is the freak inc. building?” Zeke asked.

“Just up by the train station.” The pedestrian said.

“Thank you.” Zeke said as the person took their leave.

“Well that was simple enough...how much you want to bet the employees will panic at seeing two of us having these things?” Ben asked while motioning to his and Eclipsa’s assistants.

“How so?” Eclipsa asked as the trio headed to the train station.

“Apparently people can’t just have these things and you can go to jail for thirty years for having an unlicensed one.”

“Sounds right.” Zeke said. The trio arrived at the train station, a new building added on the side titled as Freak Inc. rested next to the station building, matching the design of the next door building and blended fairly well. Upon entering it was rather simplistic on the inside.

A receptionist sat at a large desk surrounded by a waiting room of sorts. “Can I help you?” The lady, middle aged, asked, not looking away from her computer screen.

“Yes.” Ben said before thinking about what he was gonna say. “We were wondering where we could get him an Assistant if at all possible.” Ben said while motioning to Zeke.

“Fill out this form first.” She said, giving them a single sheet of paper and pen.

It was a fairly standard document of needed information. Zeke filled it out and gave it to the lady, who then slid it through another device the brought out two small items. A fingerprint scanner and some form of needle? “Fingerprints and blood sample please.” The lady asked.

At hearing finger prints, Eclipsa and Ben turned to Zeke, who was noticeably pale. Criminal history.

“I don’t think your past will cause any problems to be perfectly honest.” Ben said honestly. “Especially with what you’ve done to help people.”

Sighing, Zeke let the machine scan their fingerprints, and surprisingly the needle pierced the skin and Drew out some blood, which was red, and had a white glow and dark aura about it. “Let's see here.” She said, typing on the computer. “Zeke Ventral, father Barry Ventral, mother Marry Ventral, maiden name Shiver. And you are wanted for two hundred and nine confirmed accounts of hacking, assisted Robbery, grand theft and drug and slave trafficking.” she said casually as Zeke was a mix of blush and pale.

“Which the statute of limitation has been long since passed correct?” Ben asked honestly. “Given that his criminal acts have happened on a completely different world and time works a lot differently between worlds.”

“A nine billion rem bounty.” She continued. “Over nine thousand rem in unpaid fines and traffic tickets, illegal possession of government grade weaponry, lack of government issued birth certificate and social security card. No current residency, and a few suspect accounts in currently open police cases.” She finished. She then sifted through her desk before taking out an Assistant, though it was different, having a black and orange color to it as opposed to Eclipsa's and Ben's white. “Here you go.”

“Wait what?” Zeke asked.

“Don't get confused now. This assistant is linked to Freak inc. criminal patrol servers. Act out and you'll be jailed in a heartbeat.”

“Even if he’s married to two of Cript’s kids?” Ben asked. “And the King of Nothingness as well as the God of Grey?” Ben asked, thinking that ‘diplomatic immunity’ was a thing in this situation or something along those lines so they wouldn’t treat Zeke like a criminal after all the good he’s done.

“Hmm.” She typed on the computer again. “King of Nothingness, God of Grey… You two are also children of the founder. Legally being a child of Cript means you'd get a free pass but even with your marriage and status the rules state that Zeke is to be registered as a criminal on patrol. Legally you can be authorized as their parole officer or keeper, but in the eyes of the law Zeke Ventral is a criminal and will be registered as such.”

“At least parole is better than jail.” Zeke said.

“It's still bullshit.” Eclipsa hissed.

“Actually a lot of this is null.” Ben said. “Cause all of Zeke’s actual criminal acts took place on Earth, a world that has been long since dead and burned for a few million years. So mind if I ask where a lot of these reports came from?” Ben asked honestly, knowing Zeke would be on parole but just wanting to figure this part out.

“From his DNA. Every illegal thing Zeke has done is kept in his memories. The fingerprint scanner also scans the brain through the nervous system and compiles a report. So long as Zeke remembers doing these things somewhere in their mind, we know what to do. The only reason they are on parole is because of their recent years of good deeds.” The lady explained.

“Alright, I’m just making sure on how things worked.” Ben said with a raised hand. “Thank you ma’am, do we need to pay or do anything because of the Assistant or is it just to make sure he’s kept watch?”

“No fees, but one or someone has to register as his watcher.”

“Dibs!” Eclipsa said, taking the form from the lady and filling it out. Once it entered the scanning machine, Eclipsa's Assistant had a new application on her Assistant. She could see what was on Zeke's.

“Darn.” Ben chuckled a little.

“Will that be all?” The lady asked.

“Anything else you two?” Ben asked curiously.

“No.” Zeke and Eclipsa said.

As they exited Zeke looked over the device, surprised at all it's features and simplicity. “It's like a cell phone.” Zeke said, looking through apps.

“Pretty much.” Ben shrugged. “But a lot better.”

“Wonder if I can still log into my old YouTube account.” Zeke questioned, finding the app and after a quick download managed to log in. “Cool! All my playlists are still here.”

“Alrighty then.” Ben nodded. “There’s a lot of things in the Assistant that you’ll need to learn about.”

“Like?” Zeke asked.

“Literally everything on there.” Ben said honestly. “Here’s two things about them. I was told that it’s damn near impossible to steal cause apparently it’s also a god damn Transformer, and also,” Ben tapped his assistant, and it turned into a nice looking bracelet with a heart locket on it. “You can disguise it as anything you want.”

“Cool. Makes those sifi techs look old by comparison huh?” Zeke questioned, looking through the store app. “So is there anything in the store here you can get for free?”

“Um...not sure really.” Ben said honestly. “I’ve just had so much money and spent it on things that cost so little I didn’t really care to check.”

“Hm.” Zeke hummed, looking at a few items that were for free mostly old clothes, some junked furniture and appliances, kittens. “Reminds me of Craigslist.”

“Maybe.” Ben shrugged. “I wouldn’t know, never went on Craigslist.”

“Really?” Zeke asked, stretching. “ So, I guess next is heading to the place Eclipsa made that we fought it, and try out moves there.”

“Yes. Yes, all the yes.” Eclipsa said opening a DTE.

Once in the Ben took notice how this place was empty. Nothing at all was here. Which made sense, it's a place for very powerful beings to fight and go all out.

“Well someone’s gonna regret me having all this space to let loose.” Ben said with a warm smile, Zeke and Eclipsa feeling a massive amount of energy suddenly emanate from Ben, like a massive weight was taken off him to let his power flow freely.

“Surprised you even bother holding back.” Zeke said. “Figured you didn't care about holding back.”

“Training with Agamemnon taught me a few things, like how if I’m near beings of Void and my power is running rampant then bad things happen.” Ben said honestly. “Plus it’s good to see how enemies go from cocky one moment to scared shitless the second when you stop dicking around.” Ben chuckled a little.

“Hm. Fair enough I guess. I do want to try out some spells I learned back when Daybreak was returned back to its proper glory.” Zeke thought aloud. “They are a lot of fun.”

“Oh?” Ben asked. “What do you mean by that?”

“Heh… well.” Zeke summoned X, and in a jump, fell into non-existent water, emerging atop a giant wooden ship lit up like a Christmas tree and then let it spin around several times before it ended. “Hehe… that always makes me dizzy.” Zeke laughed with a goofy smile.

“Oh yeah, the rides. Those were in KH3 actually.” Ben said honestly.

“Well they are fun, and surprisingly overpowered.” Zeke added.

“That looked amazing.” Eclipsa said with a wide smile.

“It’s a fun thing.” Ben shrugged. “Too bad you can still get hit through it.”

“Eh.” Zeke shrugged. “So, what do you gottagotta show then Ben?”

“What do I have to show?” Ben asked curiously. “Well…” Ben raised his hand up, all thirteen of his weapons appearing before slowly overlapping and fusing together till it turned into a big keyblade greatsword. “This is a fun thing I can do. Fuse all thirteen of my weapons together to make a kick ass greatsword.”

“Compensating much?” Zeke laughed.

“Oh! Let me try something.” Eclipsa summoned Better Half, coating the X-Blade in grey before spinning it above her, creating a vortex that she then flung to an empty space, the vortex of grey growing larger as it moved along til it dispersed and exploded.

“Cool.” Ben said. “That is rather interesting.”

“Looks good for crowd control.” Zeke added.

“Yep.” Ben nodded. “Hmm...I wonder…” Ben channeled Grey and Nothingness, mixing them together as the Drive Form activated, Ben going into King Valor Form but with Grey mixed in with it.

The result gave Ben's clothes a more pinkish color rather than red, Nothingness thorns sparked all along his body, Reunion and Duskblade in both hands as No Heart was strapped to Ben's back with Grey chains of energy.

“Woah… nice.” Zeke said with a thumbs up.

“I approve.” Eclipsa said.

“Wonder why No Heart is on my back?” Ben wondered, gently twirling Reunion and Duskblade in his hands as he felt raw power radiate from his den mother body.

“Maybe it's for a combo or finisher?” Zeke questioned. “Huh… I wonder…”

“What?” Ben asked curiously, seeing two chains were actually latched onto the keyblades he was wielding.

“I was wondering, given how I am, what would my drive forms be like? Like Anti, and such?”

“One way to find out.” Eclipsa said.

Nodding, Zeke began focusing, activating his Anti form. The result created a shockwave of darkness, nearly knocking over Ben and Eclipsa as Drezke emerged. “Okay… and hi.” Drezke said. “Why am out here?”

“Drive forms...and hi.” Ben said while looking at the dark half of Zeke.

“That makes sense. Unlike most people's darknesses ours have intelligence and personality, so it makes sense Drezke would emerge out.” Eclipsa noted. “So, how long you got Drezke?”

“As in a timer…” Drezke pondered, feeling their magic and form magic winding away. “Between four and ten… years…”

“Well...that’s a thing.” Ben said nervously.

“Relax. I can shift back at will. Zeke will be back out whenever I want, and I honestly don't want to be out here too long. No offence but being physical, tangible, and having a body is kinda… not for me. Especially this body.” Drezke motioned to their shemale form, a black haired version of Zeke, attire skin tight clothing. “Seriously the fuck.”

“Awh. But you look hot.” Eclipsa said happily.

“Still… no… I'll just stick around for an hour. Till then… what's going on here anyway?”

“Training to see what we can do now that a lot of things have happened.” Ben said honestly. “Also,” Ben moved over and slapped Drezke. “That’s for all the bullshit you put me, my friends and my family through. Sorry but I didn’t get to do it before, I sure as hell had time to do it now.” Ben huffed.

“Fair's fair…” Drezke said, rubbing their cheek. “Well, wanna see some of my moves? I had a lot of time to work on some.”

“Sure.” Eclipsa said.

Nodding, Drezke put space between themself and Ben and Eclipsa. Breathing in deeply before charging up darkness before unleashing it as dark portals around them, Massive hands came out of each punching and slashing at whatever for quote the range before it ended. “I call that one Grasp. Figured it would be a good finisher.”

“Looks like one of my abilities.” Ben said. “Except it’s Nothingness thorns instead of Darkness.”

“Huh. Weird.” Drezke said. “I also got this.” Drezke said, a DTD opening up behind them as what looked like a dark side and Cerberus had a child and gave it two more heads. “They're called Hell Hounds. Found them in the place where the realm of darkness and void touch. They're heartless, but void has altered them.”

“Right then.” Ben said. “Not the weirdest thing I’ve seen.”

“Puppy!” Eclipsa said with joy. “Anything else?”

“Hmm… well, sorta.” Drezke said, taking a step backwards as a series of after images were left behind, all the fakes now moving around, hiding the original. They dispersed quickly. “Just some simple illusions on that end.”

“Seems simple enough.” Ben said honestly.

“It is. It's mostly for if I need to strategize quickly or need a breather, the multiple copies give me a little time at least.”

“Makes sense.” Ben shrugged. “Oh by the by, I’m hunting down Agents of Nexus in my own home...and their skills at hiding aren’t helping them.” Ben brought up, wanting to bring up that but not fully sure if he should bring up the part where Joy was sent to the infirmary because of something he couldn’t understand.

“Oh I am already planning on taking the fight to them… Fate needs to be freed from her slavery.” Eclipsa said, her mood swinging to the point where the bloodlust was physically felt in her tone. “Just wanted you two to know cause it is important.”

“That is a weird sentence.” Drezke said. “Welp, later… I guess.” With that, Drezke canceled the Drive form, Zeke popping back in a flash of light.

“That was… unique.” Zeke said.

“Oh yeah it was… huh, I guess it's my turn to do my drive.” Eclipsa said, back to calm.

“I was actually wondering if Grey did anything special with Grey.” Ben brought up honestly.

“One way to find out.” Eclipsa says before activating her drive. A pillar of energy erupted from the Naga, her coat becoming white, silver, gray, and black as phantom versions of many different keyblades floated behind her. Oathkeeper and Oblivion in her hands, her arms covered in nothingness thorns as Better Half floated behind her. “Overkill…. Really Lance? This was the best you could come up with?”

“It’s probably better than my Xin would do.” Ben brought up while taking a deep breath. “Well, let’s see a True King form.” Ben said before Ben’s entire form was surrounded by Nothingness thorns, creating a dense sphere before shattering, showing Ben in his True King armor fit for his new herm body, the armor pure white with Nothingness Thorns coiling around it in a constant state of motion as he held No Heart and his King Greatsword keyblade in both hands. “Ho fuck, simplistic but the power...sweet lord.” Ben brought up, which was true cause it was the True King Drive form and it was crazy powerful. When Ben looked over himself he noticed that wings were furled up against his back, the same wings that the Nothingness Dragon from KH2 had, but when he spread them they were more full, beautiful and threatening than holly, metallic and cold like the dragon’s. “Okay, the wings are a nice touch.”

“Nice! Zeke, you want to do the honors? Or should I show my form so we can all duel all out!” Eclipsa says, disbanding her final form.

“Honestly no. I'd rather watch the two of you fight. I wanna mess with the Assistant I got.” Zeke said, looking over the new device mounted on their arm.

“I’d recommend...going way the fuck back cause hot damn these forms are strong...and they’re not even using our other powers to help them.”

“Oh it's alright.” Eclipsa said before cracking her neck, her eyes flashing red as her body slowly changed to a being of pure energy, gray covering her being save for her red eyes. Her power wasn't as much as Ben's, but it was constantly growing with no end in sight. “You ready love?”

Ben closed his eyes, smiling as his eyes changed into the gold and blue of humanity and black and red of a psychopath, a sudden burst of power erupting from him as he got into his two weapon stance. "Ready when you are my love." Ben said. "You sure this world won't break if we clash?"

“Trust me, I designed this pocket dimension to absorb any and all energy to reinforce the dimension. Zeke and I already fought all out here before.” Eclipsa said in her multi toned voice, her grey aura spreading and getting constantly stronger even as they spoke.

“Alrighty then.” Ben said before vanishing, swinging both of his keyblades down onto Eclipsa rather strongly.

Eclipsa Summoned Better half and instead of slicing, or blocking, dropped down into a portal of grey before appearing above Ben. “Now now, that was rude, coming at me so suddenly.”

“I know full well your just buying time so your stronger than me with Grey.” Ben said honestly. “Better stop the constant growing before it gets too much.”

“Oh that's the thing about Grey, it doesn't stop. The ocean will grow.” Eclipsa said before snapping. “Everything is Grey.” Suddenly the world became many shades of grey, the only color being Eclipsa's eyes before swinging her blade, the force of the grey being enough to destroy an entire universe.

Ben, due to a lot of force of habits, crossed both of his weapons in an attempt to block the attack, not wanting to chance his own durability and his armors durability. “Don’t care if I’m an admin clad in super armor, gonna try to block it…” Ben muttered nervously.

The attack landed and Ben felt as if the wieght of the world was crashing into him like a speeding train. By the time the attack finished, gray smoke was coming off his armor and weapons, and if any bit of his skin was showing, it would be as well as Eclipsa took a moment to get her breath. “Whew, that one I need to build stamina on. But hey, you now know you can handle me going full out, now, hit me with your best. If I can handle it, then we really begin, how about that?”

Even though Ben’s face was covered by a pretty cool looking helmet Eclipsa could tell he was a bit worried. “You sure?” He asked. “I...I don’t want to hurt you...or worse.” Ben said, gripping his keyblades harder as the name of an attack came to mind.

“I can handle it love. Trust me, I may not have dope armor, but I have my own ways to defend myself.” Eclipsa reassured him.

“Alright…” Ben said. “Let’s...hope for the best.” Ben said before taking a deep breath, before taking another one as he slowly lifted his Greatsword up. “I’m sorry…” Ben muttered. “Emptiness…” The word echoed as he swung down, his Greatsword colliding with the ‘ground’ as it seemed to go through Eclipsa...only for Eclipsa to feel like enough energy to destroy half a realm could be felt as what looked like a mirage of his sword swung down at her.

Eclipsa grind as she pumped all her energy, having the endless gray enhance and boost her bunker ability. “Now this is like it!” She said as she opened her arms, casting a barrier, switching her keyblades for a sniper, and morphing to a humanoid form.

The actual swing connected with the barrier, and the entire world shuddered from the massive amount of energy colliding against the barrier, Eclipsa seeing the thing cracking rather quickly as the attack just kept going towards her. ”Please don’t get hurt…” Ben thought to himself, fearing the attack was too much even though she clearly asked for it.

Eclipsa's smile never vanished even as spiderwebs of cracks appeared over the dome. She whooped even as it broke and it crashed into her, her eye having a live to them that only one other being had seen, and they were in the realm with them. “Now this is like it!” She cried out dispute the pain.

“I can't tell if she's pumped for a fight or getting some sexual arousal from this… likely both.” Zeke said, under their own protective dome looking through all the new YouTube videos. “Shit, Markiplier made videos for over forty years? I got a lot to catch up on.”

“A little bit from column a, a little bit from column b.”Eclipsa said with a grin as she aimed the sniper and fired, the bullet leaving a red trail as the bullet itself infused with gray, drew onto Ben

Ben cut the bullet in half in a blur of motion. “Thank god your okay.” Ben sighed out, so glad she wasn't hurt. “I feared I swung too hard.”

“Oh don't get me wrong, it hurt like a bitch… But at the same time I want to know if you can maintain that power. Who knows, you might actually make me submit~” Eclipsa said in a husky tone, switching back to Better Half and charging in, closing the distance in a flash.

“Well...don’t push it.” Ben said while blocking their attack. "But...I have no idea how long I can push this...it just feels natural." Ben said as they slashed at Eclipsa with No Heart.t

“Then all the better love~ That means you are comfortable not holding back!” She says, splitting Better half, dual wielding the keyblade as one half blocked No heart and the other raised to slice down.

“I don’t want to hurt you though.” Ben said worriedly as he blocked. “Noughts Dance, First Step…” Ben suddenly vanished, dodging the attack and appearing behind Eclipsa. “Gone with the Wind.” Ben said as it felt like a sudden maelstrom of blades rushed at Eclipsa.

“Equilibrium.” Eclipsa said, summoning Oblivion and Oathkeeper, both shining with light and dark while her body produced massive amounts of Grey. Using the keyblades, Eclipsa launched waves of energy from the bladed, intent on not blocking the blade coming for her, but on sending attacks strait towards Ben.

Ben directed his attacks and deflected the attacks but also managing to cause small cuts on her body. “Using Light and Dark as well huh? And here I wanted to stick with Nothingness to start with.” Ben said honestly, Eclipsa knowing full well that the small cuts are a combination of her own attack as well as Ben not wanting to seriously hurt her.

“Well, I’m not going to be pulling any punches love. It is impossible for one to truly train and improve if they don't give it their all…” The naga said, letting that hang for a bit before charging back in with Better Half.

“If you say so.” Ben said honestly, Foudre appearing...as over a thousand of the tiny little kunai's appeared behind Ben. “Let’s see how my other weapons work in this form.” Ben said before all thousand kunai shot at Eclipsa as fast as lightning if not faster.

Eclipsa just smiled wide before charging. “Berserker.” Eclipsa said before ignoring the scratches, and one or two that actually pierced her skin, charging straight for Ben. “Total Eclipse.” the snake woman shouted before a image of the darkest back and the brightest white fusing appeared. With a slice, enough gray to kill an embodiment crashed into Ben, Eclipsa actually licking the slightly bleeding scratches.

Ben skidded back about...fifty feet away, thankful to have Frozen Pride at the last second. “God damn that hurt.” Ben said. “And I blocked it to.”

“Ocean of Gray: enhance.” Eclipsa said, reality shattering for a moment as behind her, a seemingly ocean of energy stretching as far as the eye could see appeared, before it all started to pour out and be absorbed into Eclipsa as she stood, powering up.

“Alright alright fine.” Ben said. “Hyper Mighty G.” Ben said before a barrier seemed to appear in front of him, Eclipsa sensing a lot of self buffs to him. “And...hmm, I wonder…” Ben muttered as he put his two keyblades into the ground. “Tides of Nothing, Act 1:” Ben muttered as Eclipsa felt a sudden rush of energy pouring into Ben. “Entropy’s Tsunami.” He said as he grabbed both keyblades and ripped them out of the ground, and what looked like a Tsunami of Twilight Thorns just appeared and rushed towards Eclipsa, the one who made it feeling like chunks of reality breaking apart from the attack before righting itself.

Meanwhile, Zeke sat watching Markiplier's Vanished playlist, laughing their ass off. They were not even paying attention to the fight at this point.

Eclipsa stood still, absorbing more and more grey. When the wave was mere inches away, She raised her keyblade up and combined her magic with the grey. “Zetta Stop!” She commanded, everything freezing, everything save for a small bubble around Zeke, so to not piss him off. Teleporting past the wave, She began to wail on Ben with gray infused attacks, going faster and faster before finishing with “Everything is Grey.” Hitting Ben one last time as the spell finished.

Ben flew by, before skidding to a halt about three miles away as he held his keyblades him, his armor looking pretty beat up. “Thank christ for stop immunity…” Ben muttered as he used his wings and shoved his forearm bones back into his arms and healed them back up. “Fucking ow…”

“Nice attack love. Really, that would have sucked.” Eclipsa said, sitting on the frozen wave.

“Wonder if this game is still around?” Zeke muttered, still paying no attention to their two loves battle, figuring either one would take a dive for the other, or a tie would be the outcome in the end.

Sadly neither happened as an ass ton of energy suddenly erupted from Ben as he grabbed his head and howled in pain. “Gah! The fuck!?!”

”I’ll make them pay…” Only Ben heard a voice as he looked around, wondering who the hell was talking.

“Who...the hell?” Ben muttered in a daze, before looking at Zeke and unbridled rage and a sense of abandonment crashed into him. “Zeke…” Ben growled, standing back up as he grabbed his two weapons and walked towards him in a way neither him nor Eclipsa saw, and Eclipsa knew full well something was horribly wrong...and the sudden involvement of music didn’t help.

I’m leaving this Hell and Holy Metal Guides My Sword

“Zeke…” Ben growled, the den mother mentally trying their damndest to stop whoever has just randomly taking control of their body with no signs of it working.

Zeke was oblivious to what was happening, still watching Markiplier scream in pure terror at the game he was playing.

“Still running…” Ben muttered in his daze, seeing disjointed visions of Zeke sitting there and Zeke running away from something. “You abandoned us…” Ben growled as he raised his Greatsword up as it crackled with Nothingness, Grey and Darkness and swung down really hard, hard enough to cause space time to distort and cause Existence, even outside their bubble of protected Grey, to shudder.

Eclipsa in a flash was in front of the attack, casting a reflect with all the grey her heart could handle. “Ben, what the hell!”

“He ran....” Ben muttered. “He abandoned us…” Ben muttered as flashes of Eclipsa...dying in his arms caused tears to fall. “He should have helped…” Ben was in a daze as the Reflect damage didn’t seem to do jack all to him as he tried to swing towards Zeke again.

Zeke, looking up in time quickly avoided with a roll to the side, getting to their feet and warping next to Eclipsa. “Geeze. What's with Ben?”

“You abandoned me…” Ben muttered in a daze, moving past Eclipsa rather quickly and swinging at Zeke again. “And you’ll pay for it…”

Ducking, Zeke stayed on the evasive, dodging whenever Ben swung. He noted that Ben was attacking with a more professional attack style than normal.

“Keep running...that’s all you do…” Ben muttered, taking a step as Nothingness Thorns lashed out from underneath Zeke as he slashed with both blades again, way faster and a lot stronger than what he sensed during his and Eclipsa’s sparring at Zeke.

Zeke, having dodged and now moved far enough away, immediately warped back to Eclipsa. “Yeah Ben's clearly left the building.” Zeke said, taking Eclipsa's hand. “Hit him hard.” They said. Shifting to their X-Blade form.

Ben kept seeing more visions from...someone’s point of view, the only thing Ben could do to show he was still there...was cry as he saw his family either abandon him, die...or seeing their blood on his hands for some unknown reason. “I’ll...I’ll make it right…” Ben muttered sadly. “Everyone….everyone will be happy again…” He muttered.

“Ben, I Know you are in there. Zeke knows you are in there, and I’m not giving up. Till my heart explodes!” Eclipsa said, becoming a shining pillar of Grey as she dual wielded X blades, Zeke and Better Half.

Ben saw Eclipsa again, visions flooding his mind of wonderful times they spent together...and then the day she died. “I...I won’t let you die…” Ben muttered as he swayed to the side rather low, so low Eclipsa thought he’d fall on his side, but he was swift and swung No Heart with great speed using the force behind the sway and the rising motion of his swing, but Eclipsa could tell it was...less lethal than when he tried to attack Zeke.

“I'm not going to die! Please Ben, talk to me, break free!” Eclipsa said, not attacking, simply blocking and deflecting.

"I don't think he is in full control. I can't explain it, but it feels like he has two of his own heart inside him." Zeke spoke, their X-Blade form placing their voice right inside Eclipsa's head.

"Then our Ben is in there! Our hearts can reach him!" Eclipsa responded, ever stubborn, ever defiant.

"Zeke ran...when I needed him most…" Ben muttered while struggling to break free of his binds as he kept seeing visions of someone else as he kept attacking Eclipsa, the moments of hesitation brief but noticeable.

Eclipsa sighed before opening her arms and planting the X-blades on the ground. "Strike me down then Ben. Zeke can not be apart from me. If he ran, then I did too. Please Ben, we are calling out to you!" Eclipsa said, a grey light appearing from her heart and launching itself into Ben.

“Eclipsa!” Ben shouted out to her as his heart reached out to hers, his body going stock still as the unknown assailant was struggling against the visions of good things happening...of their children growing up and helping be the family they all wanted.

Taking advantage, Eclipsa took Ben into a hug, Zeke shifting back and doing the same. Symbols glowed around them as all their powers spiked. Trinity was activated, however, this was different. This was the power of Trinity, focused into a Cure Spell. When it was cast Ben felt like rushing waves of calming emotions flowed through them, the assailant, unable to maintain their rage, vanished from Ben, leaving them to collapse into Eclipsa and Zeke's arms.

Ben broke out into a heavy sob as he grabbed them into a bone crushing hug. “Oh god...I’m...I’m so sorry...I don’t…” Ben sobbed.

"Shh, it's alright. You're safe now. We are safe " Eclipsa hushed, rubbing the giant wolf's back.

"Ben… what was that. I felt two of your heart's inside you." Zeke said. "As far as I know you don't have any Reflections, so… what did you see, feel, hear?"

“I...saw a lot of things.” Ben sniffled. “The happy times...the bad times...Eclipsa’s death and you abandoning me like an asshole…” Ben cried harder. “I...I don’t know what happened...I’m sorry...I’m so sorry…”

"Not enough to stop yourself from calling me an asshole, so at least there's no severe damage to you then." Zeke sighed out. "Still, we should get you checked out. I can only think of two people capable of doing that, and as far as I know we only have the contact info of one of them."

“I’m sorry but...the vision showed you just...running while I was holding Eclipsa’s body…” Ben sighed out, trying to pull himself together. “And...I don’t know who or why did this...but maybe...Cript would know?”

"Morbid. Let's see where Cript is." Zeke said, taking Eclipsa's Assistant, and therefore arm. A few taps later. "And… convenient?"

“Wh-what?” Ben asked. “Also...I’m gonna need like...an entire acre of ice cream...fuck me…” Ben sniffled, tears having long since matted the fur on his cheeks.

"If I'm reading this right Cript is… at our house?"

“Why...would he be at home?” Ben asked, his armor having disappeared after the Trinity healed him.

"No idea. It's Cript, does he even need a reason for the shit he does?"

“A little?” Ben asked. “But...we should...go see what he wants…”

Nodding, Eclipsa opened a gateway home. Upon walking through the trio saw a bizarre sight. Cript in sweatpants, and a white shirt that said 'Too old for this'.

“Why is Cript...replaced by a hipster?” Ben asked, rubbing some tears out of his eyes.

"I am retired." Cript started, messing with a rubix cube. "Meaning from now on, your fights are yours. I'll give advice, maybe some stuff, but physical help, nope. You three are on your own there." Cript said, managing to turn one side a solid blue, the others still a mess. "God I hate these things."

“And yet we have a problem…” Ben brought up. “Like the fact...someone took control of me and tried to kill Zeke.” He brought up.

"Oh yeah felt that." Cript said.

"And hesitated with me." Eclipsa added

"Expected."

“Why do you say that?” Ben asked. “And...what were those visions I saw?”

"Ugh you guys are kids." They sighed, having messed up their whole color side now. "Here's a fun fact. When an admin time travels typically, they don't. Their code does not agree with it "

"Time Travel? You're telling me someone was reckless enough to try and change the past? Don't they realize time travel like that creates bootstrap paradox? It solves itself as it was always meant to happen." Eclipsa groaned.

"Most admins have never been one for thinking clearly." Cript said, trying to complete another side. "When an Admin travels back in time, if it's their own realm, their code and past self's codes sometimes try and merge. They think it's an error, so it tried to correct itself, like the human immune system. I don't have this issue as unlike every other admin save for you three, We were not born admins and made our realms after, so we can travel to any point in time before our birth and it's safe."

“Okay so...that didn’t really answer our question…” Ben brought up. “But thanks for the explanation on that.”

Cript rolled their eyes. "He means you came from the future to now Ben." Zeke answered for Cript. "A future you has issues with me."

"And that's why you're the smart one." Cript said.

"Hey! I'm smart! I just prefer to not flaunt it." Eclipsa grumbled, pouting.

“And I’m also smart, but sometimes it’s hard when people forget to get to the fucking point half the time.” Ben sniffled, still pretty fucked up from what happened. “So...future me huh? I have a feeling there’s more to this...than just Zeke running from me and Eclipsa’s dead body…”

"Well that's his past, your future. Maybe." Crip said.

"Future is always changing, and with a fateless as a spouse, my future was never even written. Literally, ask our authors. But Ben, sweetie?" Eclipsa said, cupping her hands on the dire wolf's face to look at the Naga's. "We are all meant to die one day. That is inevitable even for the timeless, and I accept that. I could die with no regrets so long as I died protecting that in which I love, and that there is someone left to watch over them. When I do die, please don't hurt yourself over it. That goes double for you Zeke. You may have lost me many times, but that is no excuse." Eclipsa said, turning her head to her other mate. "From the sounds of it, both of you mourn my death negatively. I would rather lose everything then for you two to give everything up over me."

“Well...from the song that was blaring in my head...it kind of sounded like my future self...wanted to make sure whatever happened to you didn’t.” Ben said honestly. “But...our kids were so happy...but then…” Ben winced and put a hand to his head. “Still hurts…”

"Well that will go away on it's own in a few hours." Cript said, suddenly everyone looked at the pulsation that emerged then receded back into their arm. "Oh. Well that's not good."

"Okay….what the actual fuck?" Eclipsa said

"That's one of two things. Either my symbiotic Parasites are acting up… or-" Cript's head then exploded, skull fragments and greymatter slathering the trio as the backed up in shock. An arm emerging from the neck of Cript's body.

“WHY!?!” Ben shouted. “And nope!” Ben started as he pulled out No Heart and tried to stab whoever the fuck was coming out of Cript. “No, no, go fuck yourself evil brain thing!”

As Ben swung the arm managed to grab No Hearts tip...and broke it, the X-blades body cracking but staying whole as another arm emerged, and began splitting Cript's body in half.

“I mean, why the fuck not when this thing literally has Code in it because it’s literally me.” Ben frowned as the X-blade regenerated it’s tip. “Also seriously, the actual fuck is going on?”

"Pretty sure something out of Alien vs Predator." Zeke said, no weapon summoned but ready to call one.

Once Cript's body was open enough, whatever this was came out. It looked human, a blood covered human as they crawled out the torn open body. "Gah fuck!" They wheezed, finally fully out. "For fucks sake, that was unpleasant." The mystery person said, standing up. "Whoo! Alright. Finally out of him."

“And who the hell are you?” Ben asked bluntly. “Cause...seriously, the fuck dude?”

"Towel, towel…." They muttered, looking for something to wipe off Cript's blood. "Using this." They said, ripping the cloak off Ben's back and cleaning themselves off. "What year is it?"

“Bitch! That was a brand new cloak to!” Ben yelled at the guy. “And again, who the fuck are you? And why did you suddenly burst from Cript?”

"One moment." They said, taking a deep breath. And snapping their fingers. The blood was all gone from their body and clothes. They had tan skin coloring, jet black hair, green eyes, and wore a black shirt with brown cargo pants. "Ah, still got it. Now then… who the fuck are you three and why should I care?"

“The moment Cript says ‘I’m retired’, some jack off randomly appearing from his body like an Alien…” Ben sighed out.

"Wait he did?!" They said, looking at Cript's slowly recovering body then back to Ben. "Ha! Oh I could not have timed that better."

Ben just stabbed the guy with No Heart. “Yeah, how about no~.” Ben said slowly.

"Well that's rude." They said, unphased by Ben's attack, tapping no heart…And shattering it to shards. "Seriously, who are you three anyway?"

Ben took a deep breath. “How about we start with you are okay?” Ben asked. “You literally started all of this by doing your best Chest Burster impression.” Ben said while No Heart reformed from the shards, Code being rather apparent to the guy

"Ah, another Admin. Good on you." They said, patting Ben on the head. "I'm Jericho. Admin of War."

Ben looked at him, and then looked at Cript, then back to him as he thought for a moment. “Okay so why should we even bother?” Ben asked bluntly, Jericho knowing full well what the herm meant.

"It's a self proclaimed title." Cript finally spoke as their head reformed. "Shit that hurt."

"Only because you didn't agree with my plan back when we spoke… how long ago was that?"

"Whatever it was, might as well get introductions done. I'm Eclipse, Admin of Grey, the dire wolf that you've been insulting is one of my mates, Ben, admin of Nothingness, and this is Zeke, Admin of Hearts and current Kingdom Hearts, and also one of my mates. Now, please explain before I introduce you to a 4th wall breaking attack in which Lance will have to deal with your pathetic ass for insulting a member of my family." Eclipsa said early calmly despite the glowing red of her eyes.

"First off, pleasure. Secondly how long was I inside you Cript!?" Jericho asked.

"Three years." Cript replied.

"Ah, thank you… expected longer."

"I expected you to have died."

"Well I'm just like you, so that's unlikely."

“So again, because we can obviously tell how strong this guy is...why are we even bothering at this point?” Ben asked again. “Cause hey, Cript can solve everyone’s problems without much issue, and as he’s said before he’s constantly holding back, while you on the other hand don’t seem that nice about it.”

"Jericho wanted to create another Admin war." Cript said. "The first one nearly killed all the eldest admins off, their survivors splitting and making the Realms we have today. Jericho wants to create another one, a means of resetting the whole of creation and void to square one so he can see what happened the first time around. Wants to know where Admins came from, how they even came to be in the first place."

"And, yet such fascinating, critical knowledge you prevented from being acquired. Pitty." Jericho said with a smile,but also sighing.

"Ben means why are we even bothering to get stronger and bothering to train our massive pool of powers when there is a being just like us but better in every way, right down to shattering a weapon that is supposed to be a reality "fuck you too" button." Eclipsa said bluntly

“Okay first off you two, get a room cause honestly, who fucking cares.” Ben said bluntly. “But my question was more along the lines of ‘why are we bothering when another Cript just appeared and is apparently a war mongering asshole?’.” Ben said.

"Yeah, that too." Eclipsa agreed, charging grey and linking it to Zeke and Ben subtly, boosting them in a infinite loop as they talked to the admin, just in case.

"Because he wants his war and as he makes his side strong enough he'll be making his enemies stronger also." Cript said, snapping their fingers to clean all the splattered blood. "He helps both sides to make sure it's a good show."

“And yet he can, oh I don’t know, murder everything and everyone without much contest cause he’s basically you but edgier?” Ben brought up.

"Awe, but where is the fun in that?" Jericho asked, now circling the trio. "You see in my realm, the former Admin before I killed them and took their code and title was obsessed with war, much like myself, and loved chess. Made kingdoms each play the role of a piece and fight on his chess board, my home realm."

“Okay...and then what?” Ben asked. “Cause what your saying...sounds really boring, repetitive, and won’t really ‘do’ anything really.” Ben brought up.

"Battle is only satisfying when something is on the line, in this case, it was lives of kingdoms… tell me I'm wrong." Eclipsa said coldly.

"Close, but no." Jericho said. "It's only satisfying when you and your opponent can play on the same level."

“But then it gets boring, dull, and no one wants to play anymore, even the most blood thirsty.” Ben brought up. “War can only go on for so long before everything just stops playing that game, things end…” Ben remembered holding Eclipsa’s dead body. “Nothing can last forever…”

"Ding. That's it. Nothing can last. Eventually my Admin got bored and decided to change things up. He made himself one of the pieces, not the player. This is when I came in, having already been through eighty nine different wars he made in my life since I could remember, actually taking down the king of Kings, gave me the best checkmate one can win."

“Cool...so how does it feel being a piece that can just beat everything else?” Ben frowned. “Cause again, your entire ‘thing’ is just going to end, along with all other wars you might instigate cause you yourself are your own worst problem. You can’t be beaten cause your edgy Cript, so why even bother with this?”

"Yes. That's the proper way of thinking about it. If all things end, then why not let them all end the way it began."

“It didn’t start with conflict.” Ben brought up. “But whatever, I know I can’t tell you your wrong or change your mind, cause honestly you're not the one who can say ‘how things will end’ but you’ll damn well try to anyways.” Ben rolled his eyes.

"Sadly there is see truth to Jericho's ideology. The admin war is what let the survivors learn to develop and use their code properly, had that never happened they'd never have learned to create or destroy and we'd all not be here at all." Cript spoke up.

“I call bullshit on that a hundred percent.” Ben said bluntly. “Cause, just like the cave man bashing two rocks together to make fire, Admins would have figured out how to create and destroy without the war.” Ben brought up.

"You're assuming those cavemen weren't trying to kill each other when they made that discovery."

Ben just rubbed his temple’s. “Don’t even know why I’m bothering to argue when I know how this ends…” Ben grumbled.

"Alright, I'm nipping this in the bud right now." Eclipsa said. "Listen up asshole number I don't give a fuck, I'll be the first to admit that there is some good that comes from war. Innovation, discovery, some of the best medicines and transportation all stem from war…. However, War is filled with loss. With pain and despair. Families torn apart for a multitude of reasons."

"Hmm. I can see the level of thickness in your heads is too much for you two to comprehend. Save for the quiet one, they know just by observation." Jericho pointed at Zeke. "Now then, what will it take for me to get through your thick skulls?"

“You want a war, and while war’s can be fine for somethings, the war you want...that’s not going to solve anything for anybody.” Ben said. “There’s a difference between a war for something important, and a war just to get your rocks off, and your war is something to get your rocks off to, plus...this sounds more like a grab for attention than anything.” Ben said. “Your an edgy Cript, so you want attention cause you won’t hold back...but what’s worse than having all the powers in the world, but no one will take you seriously?”

Jericho smirked. "If no one wants to take me seriously then I'll just have to make them. No point in fighting the enemy if they can't respect or fear you with hate in their eyes."

“That’s the problem with you.” Ben said bluntly. “Again, your Cript, and from what I’ve been told and saw, Cript can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, without any repercussions. So we can’t take you seriously because, hey presto, you can just do whatever you want and no one can stop you.” Ben said honestly.

"I know. There in fun in that now is there. So I'll make my enemies as strong as myself and my allies."

“And that is possible?” Ben asked honestly. “Cause as far as I’ve seen...even when things are supposed to be as strong as Cript, they’re not.”

"Cript has his secrets. I'm willing to share mine. We both got powerful through trials and combat. But we have something in common."

“Nexus making you stupid strong cause reasons?” Ben asked honestly, thinking about his one traitor and having to think about who might be watching Zeke and Eclipsa. “Cause that might be a thing you have in common.”

"Jericho has no ties to Nexus." Cript chimed in, picking up his rubix cube again

"I was born with Copy Cat and Generation abilities together, naturally. Pure chance and luck. No genetic altering or mutations." Jericho stated.

“Oh, I also have CopyCat...but I was kind of given it...but Copy is boring when you really think about it.” Ben brought up. “Agamemnon kind of proved that…” Ben muttered. “So, your going to be making all of Nexus into Admins and...what, you’ll just freely hand us all your powers?”

"When you're proven worthy. Cript will too."

"Wait I am?" Cript said. "Ugh, fine."

“Yeah, ‘proven worthy’.” Ben rolled his eyes. “Haven’t heard that one before getting said powers immediately.” Ben said, having prior experience with such a thing.

"Hm. Well, we will see. Oh right. I think a punishment is in order for all the insulting. What's suitable?"

“You’ve been told worse, been through worse...is a punishment really necessary when it’s below you at this point?” Ben asked honestly.

"I am you're bad guy after all. Can't let the hero's off easy now can I?"

“It wouldn’t be fair considering the situation can be seen as a grown man with an M-16 going up against a six year old with a foam sword.” Ben brought up honestly. “But whatever you want as long as it’s not too far…”

"What, you think I'm going to hurt you or your realm Physically? Oh no, no no. I'll hit you where I know it will hurt." Jericho said as they vanished.

“So he’s going to do exactly what I think he’s going to do…” Ben sighed out while pinching the bridge of his nose. “Christ…”

Just then alarms went off all outside. "Well, that's not good." Cript said. "Best check on your loved ones."

“Clones are already on it.” Ben said. “I have tens of thousands at this point...but either three things happened...he physically attacked them...mentally attacked them, or kidnapped them...cause that’s how you’d get to me…”

"Who would he have taken?" Zeke asked. "There are three hearts missing. I can't tell who yet."

“Three…” Ben clenched his fists. “He better be good at hiding...cause whoever or whatever he has that’s keeping them is going to wish they never existed…”

"Sire!" Consequence spoke with worry as they appeared in a blaze of Nothingness thorns. "The children! Nancy, Nyx and Eclipse Jr have all vanished!"

Eclipsa shut up entirely, her eyes darkening as even her soulmates could feel the level of bloodlust radiating off the normally carefree one. "So… that's the way you want to play….alright. fine. You just opened Pandora's Box…" 'Total Eclipse: Vengeance Edition.' Eclipsa said as she suddenly brought everything to bare, the 4th wall struggling to keep in place with the level of energy being produced.

Ben wasn’t helping either as the Den Mother, who would have normally screamed something, was only silent as the same power radiated off of him as his King Armor appeared on him in his moment of pure unadulterated rage.

Zeke fell to the floor. No power radiated off of them, just… Disbelief.

Ben looked at Zeke and just picked him up gently. “We’re going to get them back…” Ben said simply, nothing in his words held any other meaning besides cold hard fact.

"How?" Zeke asked. "This is someone like Cript, how?"

"Play along." Cript spoke up, gaining their attention. "Jericho isn't a complete monster. They'll stay safe, play along how he wants, and he'll likely give them back to you."

“No.” Ben stated. “He crossed a line.” The Den Mother said. “We will find them...and Jericho will pay.”

"I can't stop you but you won't be happy with that outcome."

“What? He’ll kill our children if we try to save them?” Ben frowned.

"No. You forget he is an admin too, he could alter time. He could raise those three, to kill you three. I doubt you want to find your kids all grown up shoving daggers in your guts."

“If he even touches a single hair on my pups heads, I will make him regret ever being born.” Ben growled, and Cript had this unnerving feeling Ben could do that.

"Even so, right now he has the ace in his sleeve. What do you three have other than anger, trauma and unborn children?"

Ben looked at Eclipsa worriedly, knowing she was pregnant and fearing she would get hurt. “Besides those things? Well...several things, Will, Trinity is also a thing, our combined powers we haven’t fully tested…” Ben brought up. “He kidnapped our children...you should know full well to at least two of us it’s like he just committed Existence wide Genocide right?”

"Yeah. Shouldn't have pissed him off. Wonder who his allies will be?"

“Nexus for a start cause their desperate for attention at the moment.” Ben brought up. “And we ‘pissed him off’? What, is his ego that fragile or something that not taking him seriously caused this?” Ben said, Nexus now actively trying to do things to catch people’s attention and this being way too much for what Ben said to Jericho.

"If I called you an edgy version of Zele would you have taken offence?"

Ben looked at Zeke and thought for a moment. “No, cause I’m pretty sure ‘edgy’ for Zeke would involve things that his family hasn’t done like not murdering people for instance.” Ben brought up, thinking ‘edgy’ would be the exact opposite of what Zeke has dealt with in his life. “At least, how I think it would be the exact opposite of what he’s experienced. Normal people see ‘edgy’ as what the stereotype is, which is the opposite of their views in some cases...so the opposite of Zeke’s view for ‘Edgy’ would probably be sunshine and rainbows.” Ben brought up. “Or if you wanted to use one of its definitions, then yes I am either tense, nervous, or irritable.” Ben said, his voice finally coming back as he just added more to a simple fuck off question.

"So, what are you three going to do now? Three kids gone, more on the way, and you have little to no allies on your level."

“Might have one by proxy…” Ben brought up. “But...I should go see the Foretellers and John...like I’ve been meaning to for months but life kept being a bitch…” Ben grumbled. “Then there’s all the allies we can make as strong...all the creations we can make cause of several things…” Ben brought up. “But we’re going to get our kids back damn it.” Ben said bluntly, Cript having married a Den Mother knowing full well how stubborn they are when their children are in danger.

"He will pay…Fuck with me all you want, hell, break my mind and change who I am… but don't you dare lay a hand on my family…" Eclipsa said, her power still growing due to the nature of Grey.

“Your...still pregnant Eclipsa.” Ben brought up, still as furious as Eclipsa was but still worried about her. “I know...we’re both so unbelievably furious but...you have children to take care of…”

"And we don't?" Zele questioned. "Ben, it would be irresponsible for us to leave the other kids when we just lost three."

“I have enough clones taking care of all of them, as well as finding that Nexus traitor…” Ben said. “But I...I want to save my babies…”

"This is a dilemma for you three. Question is what to do now?" Cript asked.

“And your just going to sit there and let your problem do as it pleases?” Ben asked Cript. “Cause I don’t know your history with that fuck but this…” Ben took a deep breath, not wanting to say it’s Cripts fault when no one knew this would happen.

Cript took a deep breath and began speaking. "Jericho appeared about five years back. He was the only ever person other than me to become an admin at the time. We got along well enough and could go out against one another without worry. We were on even footing. He began researching what little information there was on the admins of old, long dead dating back to during and before the Admin war. He and I were the only ones at this level of power, and how those texts described the admins from them, made them paint us as rookies."

“Well alrighty then.” Ben said honestly. “So he wants to remake that...why though? Even if his point is ‘ending everything’ there’s still the fact that it probably won’t cause what he think it’ll do.”

"He and I share the same addiction to combat and adrenaline. We love to feel our hearts race in the heat of combat. The only difference is he embraces it, and I hate it. If my heart rate and power go above a certain cap at the same time my Nexus Bio-programming kicks in. I forget friend from foe and attack everything."

“And...haven’t you just, ya know, figured out how to stop that?” Ben asked. “Cause as far as I know, you’ve had an eternity to solve that little problem, either with powers, items, or just removing it from your own self.” Ben brought up. “And before you say ‘it’s not that simple’, you literally have all the time, power, and resources to get rid of it.”

"It's linked to my power itself. The only way to get rid of it is to remove all my powers and abilities, and frankly A, that would hurt and B, it's not that easy."

"I don't give a damn .." Eclipsa said quietly. " Our babies were taken by that bastard. Right now we need to look after the others… but he wont die, no. Death would be a mercy compared to what I have planned…" she said before cutting open a portal.

"And you are going where?" Cript asked.

“We’re going to find our kids.” Ben stated. “My clones will help keep the kids in line, but Eclipsa’s going and I’m going to make sure she stays safe.”

"And somehow you know where to look?"

“It’s better than sitting here doing fuck all when our kids are in danger.” Ben brought up. “Jericho might not hurt them, but he might do just as you said for shits and giggles. I’m not going to let my baby girl fall down the same path again just because you couldn’t properly deal with the fucker.” Ben said, not knowing if the bastard could die but knowing full well there were hundreds of ways besides ‘imprisonment in one’s own body’.

"You didn't hear me Ben. We are spending time with our children. We will prepare… he wants war? He doesn't know what he just signed up for…" Eclipsa said, nothing but cold in her voice. "Don't challenge a Ventral to their own game, especially with family involved."

Ben sighed out. “Even though I’d...rather be hunting down my children at the moment…” Everything Ben was screamed for him to run off to god knows where and save his pups before they were hurt. “But...can I at least send something to search for them?” The den mother asked. “If I don’t know someone or something is looking for them it’s gonna drive me up a wall more than my pups being gone already is…”

"They are likely in a different realm, without knowing which specifically you'll be jumping around like a blind rabbit."

“Again, better than doing nothing…” Ben said, his Den Mother instincts screaming at him to just run off anywhere to find them.

"Look if you are going to get stronger to face this asshole you will need more than just your current allies which consists of you three and John, the Foretellers, and Okami." Cript said, taking a notebook out of his Assistant and writing something down. "This is a list of names of Admins I know will want to help us. They were there when I first fought Jericho, and they know how dangerous he is."

“Thank you, but couldn’t you also...ya know, give Admin powers to our family’s to help out?” Ben asked honestly. “Cause Jericho is probably gonna do that to Nexus...and even though I’d rather not have my family get into this fight...sadly they might have to…”

“I can't give the Admin powers or code away. Either they inherit it by having a realm passed to them or killing an admin like you three, or they forfeit their entire existence here to become Admins. I can make them at least on par but they won't have any Code or proper use of their newfound power levels."

“Of course…” Ben muttered.

"Hmm… well, I can think of one way, but it's very unorthodox."

“Have we ever been ‘orthodox’ to begin with?” Ben deadpanned.

"It's similar to how we got you your soul back, but rather than a different body to allow you to, well, stay an adult, they will have to be reborn. Only three of all my wives are also Admins, if they are reborn from them, memories in tact of course, and grow up in the family I'd be able to have them trained and ensure you they will be able to protect themselves."

“Okay never mind.” Ben said. “Rather not have that...whole thing be a debacle and a half...unless you two have anything to say about that.” Ben brought up to Zeke and Eclipsa.

"I don't know…" Zeke said unsure, still noticeable in shock.

"Well if you all really need an alternative then there is only one other being in all of creation and void that can do something." Cript said, now having three sides completed on their cube.

“I mean, until I make one.” Ben muttered to himself, already having had so many idea’s for new kinds of creatures to create. “But what? Are you wanting to make Delete’s our allies all of a sudden?”

"Quick question." Cript said, standing up. "What does an Admin pray too?"

“I don’t know, cause Admin’s are literally God.” Ben brought up.

"True. But every race has a religion. Admins too. They pray too and believe in two special beings. One known as Belief, the other called The Mother."

“I mean, that’s kind of cheating when you literally believe in the concept of ‘belief’...and The Mother sounds pretty obvious…” Ben brought up.

"According to the religion, Belief is the source of Admins code, and the Mother created the first Admins, she is their beginning and end."

“Okay that...makes sense I suppose...but why would The Mother be the end? Is someone going to kill her or is she going to kill everyone?” Ben asked honestly.

"Not exactly. Admins Don't have souls or hearts like creations. Those were made as a means to… recycle life energy, for lack of a better phrase, rather, their code returns to her, and her womb holds all the code of Admins yet to be, and long since dead. Meanwhile Belief fuels that code to give it the power to create and destroy."

“Alrighty then.” Ben said honestly. “Sounds simple enough.”

"If anyone can grant your request without consequence it's them."

"Where are they then?" Zeke asked.

“Probably in the Center of Existance where no one can find them.” Ben took a wild guess but it obvious.

"No that’s too obvious. They exist, or live, however you want to put it, in Crawfellow. I can't exactly explain what that place is, but it's a place only I and Lord have ever been too. Let's just say that place gave us quote the shock upon arrival."

“Cool, where is it?” Ben asked simply. “I’ll send a clone off there while I help my kids with Eclipsa and Zeke.”

Cript took a deep breath, finishing the cube. It then began floating, altering itself until it glowed a golden color, and slowly a doorway opened before it. "Through here. Be careful, the things there gave me and Lord hell."

"Guardians?" Zeke questioned

"Yes. Ten of them guard The Mother and Belief, make it passed them and you can speak with them."

“Sounds simple enough.” Ben said honestly.

"In words and on paper yes. Getting through those guardians is the hard part. Ben, I'm going to say this once, do not underestimate any of them, no matter what, do not hold back. You'll be dead otherwise."

A clone of Ben’s appeared. “That’s why I said a clone will go.” Ben said while the Clone doned the King’s armor, but Cript could tell there was also a lot more magic and power surrounding the clone. “I’m fast and going to literal God’s home needs prep.” Ben said while the prepared Clone walked through the portal.

"Good luck. Oh yeah, here." Cript said, tossing the clone a pouch. "Give that to Belief when you meet them, I owe them it."

The clone grabbed the pouch. “Alright, let’s hope the Guardians will at least allow me to give this to them before immediately attacking me.” The clone muttered as it entered the portal straight to the new world.

"Well." Cript said, catching the toy rubix cube as the portal closed. "Now that that is taken care of, I'm gonna go for a walk."

“Just make sure you don’t get lost or make it too enthusiastic.” Ben said while heading off to take care of his kids.

"I'm gonna check on Blake." Zeke said.

"Let's go then." Eclipsa said.

Ben looked at both Zeke and Eclipsa, remembering what happened before all this bullshit came up...and sent out his spies to hunt down his future self and to search for their kids. “I’ll...make sure you all stay safe…” Ben muttered so quietly no one but himself heard it.
